ner worthy of the subject it will be read
with lyidity, as it falls 10 the lJt of but few
to have spent 50 long and so chcauered
| life as did the veneratcd individual to whom
it will refer. A prominent partaker in two
great revolutions, and both n1enutied with
the cause of populir freedom, La FAYErTR
has left behind him name insullied by any
of the vices which not unffequen'ly associ-
ate themselves with scenes of civil war.
Whatever differences of opinion may exist
as to the correctness of his views or the OK
tent OF his abilities, but one opinion prevails
in reference to the pureness of the motives
| bv which he was actuated. Whilst the
memoirs Of most men, even Of the greatest
celebrity, are confined to a comparatively
| limited sphere, those Of this distinguished
individual connect themselves with political
events that have controlled the destinies of
the old as well as the new world. Tho
same principles that governed the youth Of
nineteen who abandoned the splendor of n
court to become the companion in arms OF
the heroes of our revelation, remained un-
changed through long existence, and ex-
hibit their possess r after the lapse of moro
than half century, as the unyieldIng adyo-
cate of liberty in his native land

THE NORTHERN INDnNs.-A gentleman
from Fort Leavenworth, as we learn from
the ST Lonis Republican, says that it was
reported, when he left that place, that the
quota required Of the Kansas tribe for the
Florida war had agreed to go, but that tho
Shawnees repealed the proposition with
scorn. The Shawnees said to the Agent
who applied to them for their services, that
they "fpught lhcir own battles, no; those of
mountaineering the people of the United
States. The Republican says, that the
Kansas Indians are the mos; etfcminatc and
unwarlile of all the savages on the frontier.
and lhat they will assuredIy run it they
get within sight of the troops Of Oseola..
Brandon Bank.-The cotton pledged to
this Bank last summer begins to come into
market. Already more than one hundred
bales have been brought to Vicksburg, and
nearly as much to GRIND Gulf The bank
will receive upwards of twenty thousand
bales at this place during the season. 1t
will be seen at a glance that the master
stroke Of policy pursued by this bank last
summer, while it rallied around it the devo-
ton ofour planters, will give 1.-THE command
of eastern funds or specie, and thus place it
| in better position than any other banking
institution in the United States. The time
| ly aid which it afforded to our planters last
summer, has awakened feeling in its be-
half all over the country. Ii is decidedly
the most popular bank in the State; and il
has the means at its command OF resImlng
specie payment soonerthan any bank in the
South. We have heard that it intends to
commence redeeming its small notes in
specie on the first of October next. We
have no doubt of its ability and willingness
to do 81; but we hope that she viii not at
tempt it before the other banks go into tho
same measure. The specie would be sold
at premium and leave the State; and thus
the only persons that would derive benefit
from such measure would be the specula-
tors Vicksburg Sentinel.

respectable planters, was returning to his
home from thus village, where he had been
attending to his ordinary business, at about
6 miles from town and 2 from his residence,
was Fl led upon by some secret villain, and
shot through his right arm, which alne saw

missed his arm, il would have entered the
abIumen, and must have proved fatal. AL

wound, Mr.. Flower considered il hld been
