ELECTION or GEN. SHIELDS.

In our paper dated yesterday, the fact of
the nomination Of Mr.. Shields as T. S. Sen
ator, by Loco Foco caucas Of the Legisla-
ture, was announced. Such nominations have
heretofore been equivalent to elections, and
the telegraph to-day, or at scrue future time,
probably, will inform us of such an event
This result creates stir in the Loco Foco
camp. The Wings look on, as calm as a
summer morning. but have good care not to
venture too near, as they value their own
peace, and hate stray brickbats. Under the
circumstances, Shields enjoys a great triumph
Whatever else he may not be, he certainly
possesses great energy Of character to triumph
over such an opposition as he has had to con-
tend with.-N ". Ga. q .2du. oct. SO.

opinion, desire the election for the purpose Of
serving the people who elect him, bu, to serve
himself. In about wear from this time a L.
). Senator is to be chosen in place the dis
tlnguished citizen who now fills that place
with so much honor to the State. Gov Dodre
and others must be thrust aside, and Mr..
Strong must make capital in the mean time
to iii himself for the succession.
If what have said about Mr.. s. is some
what personal, can only say, that my re-
marks are made more in sorrow than in anger
they are made not for the purpose Of injur-
ing Nj. s, bat for the purpose Of serving the

= THE nomination Of GEoRGE GoLDrnoRp Esq.
does not appear to relish well upon the stom-
achs of our Democratic fiends. 1t is gener-
ally the case that where Wing IS nominated,
the hue-and-cry of tederalist. aristocrat, and
enemy Of popular rights, is raised against the
nominee, and often with success. As none
OF those odious crimes could per possibility
apply to Mr.. Goldthorp, who is most emphat-
ical!y one Of the people, the Democratic
hounds have been let slip to hunt out some
other crime to fasten upon him. In the ele-
giant language Of a certain prominent and loud
talking Democrat, good save the mark s.Mr
Gold'horp is nothing but id Cornish
man"
Mr.. GoldthOrP will, no doubt, plead guilty
to this charge. If it is crime to be Cor
nishman, he is guilty of the objectionable

INDIAN FIGHT.

The Minnesota Register Of late date gives
the following particulars Of a fight between
the HaIf-Breeds and band of Chippewas =
A battle was fought, we learn, few days
since. at Pocagoma Lake, about one hundred
and twenty miles northeast Of this place. be-
tween family Of Half-Breeds named LIE
Praire, and the band Of Chjppewas who ac-
knowledge Shunia [Silyer) as Chief. The
number of HaIt-Breeds was five. three men
and two boys-the strength Of the Indians
was from ten to twelve. The parties were
divided by a small stream, one side Of which
IS covered with timber, the other side is prai-
RE; the Halt-Breeds being on the timber side
had the advantage, but the Indians continued
the fight for about two or three hours The
Indians lost one man killed. two MORALLY and
three or four slightly wounded. Their Chief
was badly wounded while attempting to re-
store peace. Such an outbreak has long been
expected, the HalEBreeds being concerned in
selling ardent spirits to the Indians. The for
mer suffered no loss. with the exception. that
one of the ears Of Louis lie Prairie was taken
of by a rife ball.
