DECISIVE BATTLEs.-The decisive battles OF
the world, those of which, to use Hallam's
words, "A contrary event would have essen.
tally varied the drama of the world in all its
subsequent scenes" are numbered rs fifteen by
Professor Greasy, who fills the chair Of ancient
and modern history in the University Of Lon
don : they are the grand subject of two volumes
by him, just from Bentley's press. These bat
ties are-l. The battle of Marathon, fought
400 B. c., in which the Greeks under Themisto.
cles defeated the Persians under Darius, thereby
turning back a tide of Asatic invasion, which

saved from Greek domination 3. The battle OF
ArLela, 33l b. c., in which Alexander, by the
defeat Of Darius established his power in Asia,
and by the introduction of European civiza.

traced there: 4. The battle Of the Metarus,
fought 207 b. c., in which the Romans, under
the Consul Nero, defeated the Carthagenians

Of the great republic was established: 8. The

INDIAN FIGHT IN TExAs-Vad Cal in he
Field.-We copy the following paragraphs from
the Austin Souh ,0estern American Of the 9th
inst:
"A rumor is in town that a runner from Pa.
vukas camp, after six days hard riding, reached
Katumski's village, informing him that % Of his
men had been met by a party of Seminoles
under Wild Cat, and % of them killed. Ii il
further reported that Wild Cat was advancing
with large party of Mexicans and Indians, to
sweep over their country.
"Coa-co.chee, or Wild Cat figured conspicu.
ously in the Florida war, as chief of great de-
termination and valor, and by several recent vic
torious conflicts with the Camanches, is spreading
terror through their country. ketumski at once
went TO Fort Mason, to seek protection from the
army"

for want Of property, Of that property which the
Tribnue says is their natural right and portion
of which the Tribune, on its own principles
fraudulently withholds. Ifthe STAKEHOLDER suffers
from remorse, what must be the torture of the
editor of the Tribune, and the other rich people
of the North?
The Tribune tells US, the Southern slave
holder is enslaved by his fears. What does he
fear? Insurrection! That can succeed only by
superior courage or skill, which the slaves dc
not possess. But the fears of the rich in the
North-what are they? That property itself will
be overthrown And that can be done at any
time by mere majority vote-and the poor are
majority in the North The Tribune said the
Southern stakeholder was enslaved by his ap-
petites. All. indeed. 1t is true that all who
permit their appetite to control them, are slaves
But where will the Tribune find such subjection
to appetite and lis consequences, as in its own
city! Where are the dishes more rich and costly
than at the Irving, the Astor, or Delm onico's.
Where is there such an assortment of silks and
furs, as at Stewart's--where are the plate and
jewels more splendid than on Broadway?
A slave Of appetite! The most mournful
spectacle we ever beheld, is to be seen nightly
on Broadway. The gas-lights no sooner begin
to shine, than the pavement is invaded by class
Of beings in all the varieties Of youth, beauty,
vice, and ruin--from the young and inexpe'
rienced girl who is making her debut with hesi-
tating step and half-ayerted eye, to the bold and
hardened 'habitue of the pave. In the tide OF
that life-current may be seen and read at a
glarce at the countenances, every vicisstude OF
blighted hope, of licentious passion, OF pinching
poverty, of sensual weatll--the histories writ
ten on these female faces
"Before decays eAacing fingers,
Have swept the lines where beauty lingers''-
contains the most sad, the most horrid, and the
most vivid passages Of human agony and re.
morse Where, in the far spread regionn Of
the rurai South, will be found such commenta.
ries on the slavery Of appetite and remorse?
As for the separation of husband and wife
parent and child, in the South among the slaves
it is probably exceeded in the single city of New
York, by the imprisonments alone of victims o.
vice, crime and want. In the very number o.
the Tribune which succeeded this attack on the
South, we find that the official report of arrests
for crime in that city, in the short space Of the
preceding three months, was almost ten thous
and and the imprisonment of these, separated
more families, we will venture to say, than wer'
separated in a whole year in the South.
