THE CARRIER BIRD-AFrEa THE PERSIAN
Go! haste thee, my bird, nay thou canst not betray
mo,
The hand of thy mistress awaits for theo long;
Let no warbler detain thee, no danger delay thee,
To gladden. her love with tidngs and song.
Tell Zela that the storm cloud of battle is nigh,
And the blades of the Qucbcrs are shining afar
But that love, like tho beams of her dark rolling cyc
'Midst danger and death is an e:er bright star
The carrier sped fast to its mistress thro' air,
Like an arrow shot off from the still trembling
string;
Its passage was guided and quickened by fear,
AS the glittcrng of steel glancd over its wing.
An omen, thought Hassan, when tho bird from him
dartcd, ,...
Across the dark fold 10 its own rushy nest;
So hope when from valor it ever is parted,
Leaves the heart but in sorrow to wither unblest.
He fell in the shock under many blade,
That draiud ev'ry drop of his LIES crmson'd vein;
But the spirit retun'd to his raven-trcss'd maid,
Like the carrier dove from the bloodreeking plain

THE CONSPIRACY OF NEAMA
THLA.

AN AUTHEN SKETCH.-BY WASHING
TON 1RvING.-In the autumn Of 1923.
Governor DUvAL, and other commission
crs on the part Of the United States, con-
cudcd treaty with the chiefs and war
riors of the Florida Indians, by which the
latter, for certain considerations, ceded
all claims TO the whole territory, excep-
ting district in the eastern part, to which
they were to remove, and within which
they were to reside for twenty years. -
Several Of the chiefs signed the treaty
with great reluctance; but none opposed
1t more strongly than Neamathla, princi-
pal chief Of the Mickasookies, a fierce
and warlke people, many of them Greeks
by origin, who lived about the Mickasoo-
kie lake. Neamathla had always been &C
tive in those dcpredations on the from
tiers Of Georgia which had brought VEN
geance and ruin on the Seminoles. He
was remarkable man; upward of sixty
years of age, about six feet high, with a
fine eye and a strongly marked counte.
nance, over which he possessed great
command. His hatred of the white men
appeared to be mixed with contempt; on
the common people he looked down with
infinite scorn. He seemed unwilling to
acknowledge any superiority of rank or
dignity in Gov. Duval, claiming to asso-
ciate with him on terms of equality, as
two great chiefians. Though he had
been prevailed upon to sign the treaty.
his heart revolted at it. In one of his
frank conversations with Governor Duval,
he observed: This country belongs to
the red man, and if had the number of
warriors at my command that this nation
once had, I.would not leave white man
on nv lands. | can say this to you, for
you can understand me: you are man;
but | would not say it 10 your people, -
They'd cry out was savage, and would
take my life. They cannot appreciate the
feelings of man that loves his country.
AS Florida had but recently been erec-
ted into territory, every thing as yet
was in rude and simple style. The Cove.
nor, to make himself acquainted with the
Indians, and to be near at hand to keep
an eye upon them, fixed his residence a,
Tallahassee, near the Fowler towns. in.
thabi,ed by the Mickasookies. His
government palace fora time was mere

THE CorToN CnoP.-We had con-
versation a few days since, with Mr.. Dan
iel, the Assistant Marshal of this county,
whose office enables him to form a cor
rect estimate Of the present crop. He
has visited almost every plantation IN the
county, and states that it has been an OBJ
iect with him in every instance, to find
out the comparative estimate between the
production of the present, and the two
previous years. The result to which he'
has arrived, is, that in proportion to the
number OF acres in cultivation, the qusnti.
ty of cotton grown in ls40, compared
with 1889, will fall short one half-com-
pared with '3s one third. He states that
in many cases, the depreciation has been
much greater, and that if there be any
error in the calculation, he has been too
liberal. From all the information we can
gather from various sections of the cotton
growing States, the depreciation has been
universal in about the same ratio as here.
