The SMALL Pox.-The blow that this fearful
disease struck IN our town, in ceprving US Of a
useful and worthy citizen, severely felt; but
in the opinion of the medical gentlemen with
longer any fear of its spreading; the people from
the surrounding country need not be under any
apprehension from it, but may visit the town
without the slightest danger.

BANKRUPT LAW:-The Bill to re

has been hurried through amid excitement
land confusion. The existing law is gen.

features, and if its repeal is sanctioned by

to be probable that some less objectiona-

The Shareholders Convention closed
their labors on Friday night last; the 18th
They made 25 propositions which were
submitted to the Legislature in the shape
ola memorial. If their wishes are secon-
ded by the Legislature, it will be another
evidence of the injury inflicted by the
Northern fanatics on those they profess
to assist.
During the Strings of the Convention
person calling himself the Rev. Charles
T. Torrey commenced taking the pro-
ceedings, some suspicion pointed him out
as an abolnionist employed by the Boston
papers as a reporter in Washington, he was
taken before magistrate and examined,
remanded for furthey examination on
Monday las. At that time further tes-
timony was expected by his accusers, and
he was again remandeds it caused great
excitement, but to the honor of Annapo.
tbs be it spoken no violence was offered
him; the law reigned Supreme. The Con-
venton was highly respectable both for
members and talents"
We learn from the Baltimore American,
that the Rev. Mr.. .Terrey, who is men
toned in the above letter, was discharged
by Judge Brewer, under security, that he
would not again visit the limits OF Mary
land. Rather singular we think. If h;
had committed crime, why was he moi
punished2 IL he was guilty ofno CT ime
how can he be required not to come a

The dsgracefu mob that took place in Cincin-
initi, an account of which will be seen in anoth-
er column, was followed by another in Louisville
ny. on the next day, which resulted in the dis
truction of some books and papers, belonging
to the Louisville Savings Bank, in which the Mr..
Lougee, whose office in Cincinnati was destroyed
was concerned. Painful as it should be 10 every
lover of the institutions of his country, to hear
of such proceedings, and subversive as they are
of all order and law, we nevertheless hear persons
who profess to be good citizens, justifying then.
The firing of blank cartridges INTO a mob as was
done at Cincinnati, is all grand mistake C, IN that
instance, as in almost every other which wo re-
collect, instead of dispensing them, it only SER
we'd to exasperate them, and make them moro
furious. Let them be fired upon with bullets, and
when they find they paying for their sport
with their blood, they will speauily dispense;
there is no valor in mob. 1t is better that a
few should be shot down, than that tire law
should be set at defiance.

THE WAR-WOMAN'S CREEK.

In Georgia and North Carolina, there is
hardly a river, creek, or stream. that has not
connected with it some old Indian traditions.
The title of the present sketch is taken from
one of these ; | believe one of the principal
tributaries of Natahalse river, in the Chero-
kee nation, North Carolina. The story, as
told by the few Indians remaining since the
removal in the fall of 1888, runs thus:
Many years ago, in the first settlements of
the country, a wandering party Of their tribe
attacked the house of a squatter somewhere
upon their borders, during his absence, and
massacred all his children, and IL # his wife
covered with the mangled bodies of her butch
cred offspring scalped like them and appa-
rently dead. She was not, however, wounded
as badly as they supposed, and no sooner did
she hear the sound of their retreating foot
steps, than d~isengaging herself from the heap
of slain, haggard, pale, and drenched with her
own and the blood of her children, she peered
s~tealthily from the door, and finding her ene-
mics no longer in sight, hastily e~xtlnguished
the fire, which before leaving, they had ap-
piled TO her cabin, but which had, as yet,
made very little impression on the green logs
of which it was composed. Wiping from her
eyes the warm blood which was still reeking
from her scalpless head, she directed her ago.
nized gaze to the bleeding and disfgured
forms Of those, who, scarce an hour before
were playing at the door, and gladdening her
maternal heart with their merry laughter, and
assshe felt in the full sense of her desolation,
the last ray Of hope die within her bosom,
there stole over her ghastly face an express
sion as savage as was ever worn by the ruth
less slayers Of her innocent babes. Her eye
CLEANED with the wild fury of the tigress
robbed of its young as closing her cabin care
fully behind her, with a c~ountenance ANNA
ted by some desperate purpose, she started
off in the same path by which the murderers
had departed. Needless of her wounds and
wasting blood, and lost to all sense Of hunger
aud fatigue, in the one absorbing and fell
purpose which actnated her she pursued her
foes, until, at night, she came up with them
encamped at the side of the creek, which is
indebted to her for its present name.
Emerging from the gloom of the surround
ing darkness, on her hands and knees. she
crept noiselessly towards the fire, the blaze
of which as it fickered up ards, discovered
to her the PROSTATE forms of the Indians, five
in number, who, overcome by an unusually
~fatiguing days travel were wrapt in deep
sleep, with their only weapons, their toma-
haws, in their belts. Her own stealthily ad-
vancing figure, as the uncertain light OF the
burning pile fell upon it with more or less
distinctness-now exposing ifs linea,aents

TO MY FATHER.
The frost is on thy locks, sire.
The burrows on thy cheek,
Thy pleasures, one by one, retire,
Thy ties Of life grow weak.
And yet thou canst not die-ah no,
While life remains 10 me;
My hearts emotions tell me so,
My souls fond memory.
IT'S true Mis ,ficheying paksc may cease,
This frone sink domt btfors thee
Then may thine eyes be closed in peace,
film not weeping DER thee.
LIES storms are round thee, still, and loud
The tempest yet may blow,
Thy sun cant set without a cloud,
This worlds too full Of NO.
Full many a thorn hath planted been
Upon that reverend head,
And sotnc il they have tears. | wecn,
VIII weep when thou art dead,
OH yes. meihinks nj least there may
BE some who'yc spoiled thy rest,
Who then would pluck the darts away
They've hurled into thy breast.
But then, too late NOR wilt thou feel
The warm hearts tear agalnj
Nor serpent singing at thy heel,
II any such remain.
Wilt thou not quench the arrows, Death,
or malice and of hate.
Oh ! that 'twefe done before the breath
Is gone, and it's too late !!
Thy sand, my sire, will soon be run,
Too soon must thou depart!
And oh The earth ne'er closed upon
A truer, warmer, heart.
Thou art n friend--that hollow word
Retains Il meaning still,
And till thy partingancll is heard,
II but till then, it will.
A warmer bosom never yearned
Der misery and distress.
None empty from thy door arc turned
The poor thy lame will bless.
But hold, the theme we'll not pursue.
Too fast the taar.drops gather.
o what a void there must cnsuc
Upon thy death, my father. J. r. l..

A late account states that the immensely

as the progress toward completion goes on.
The wall is about thirty feet high. In front
is a ditch fifteen feet deep, and fifty or
sixty feet wide. The earth displaced in
digging the ditch is thrown into the inte-
