fastened the door, and the Indians then commenced
an attack on the house. Louis and Westfall now
exchanged shots with them in rapid succession ;
but estfall was fast failing from loss of blood.
Louis approached an aperture in the wall to make
sure aim, and was shot through the heart fell aud
expired. The faithful dog, on seeing Louis fall, and
the blaod streaming from his body, became frantic
with rage, and rushing out of small aperture,
sprang among the Indians, seized one and tore ev.
cry garment from his body, and was on the eve of
killing him, when he was shot and overpowered by
the demons in human form that surrounded him.
Poor dog he has molly sacrificed his life in defense
of his master. Well may the poet say
My dog the trustiest of his kind,
With gratitude inhames my mind.
Westfal, overpowered by the loss of blood could
only support himself now by holding to the walls of
the house but nothing daunted, he tore large
aperture in the wall and stuck his gun out in order
TO keep up appearances The Indians, doubt
thinking they would have long seige, and many Of
them being severely wounded, left, taking 18th them
all the horses belonging to the ranch. 1t was now
night, aud Westfali remembers OF Crawling to his
bed, which was the last consciousness he had until
Sunday evening when he found himself lying on his
bed covered with blood that had come from the
wound and from his mouth; but he was not able to
come from his bed until Monday, when, from the
stencil OF the dead body in the room he found some-
thing must be done. With great effort he succeeded
in dragging the body about twenty feet, but could
get it no farther. At sunset on Monday evening,
he started towards Fort Inge for assistance; but
succeeded that night in getting only four miles
aud on Wednesday evening he arrived at house
in the vicinity of Fort Inge, where be procured
sistance, and is still alive, and his physician has
strong hopes of bis recovery.
Mr.. Westfall is man of strong frame and extra
ordinary constitution, which accounts for his re
markable escape. He is a terror to the Irdians,
and is known on the frontier by the name of Leath-
er Stocking" The Indians without doubt, were the
Lipans, who commit their murders, plundering, &C.,
and then take shelter in Mexico. ...-

friends with cheerfulness and hope. He was be-
yond question more universally beloved than any

He had filed several positions, calling in question
the character Of a true gentleman In all of which
he proved himself an ornament TO the position
He was for several years Deputy Sheriff of bis
native county; afterwards one Of the staff officers
Of the l4th Brigade of Tennessee Militia; then a
Director for the Bank OF Tennessee, and for many
years preceding bis death, merchant; and in all
these positions, so well did be do bis part, that

God that We do not sorrow do those who have
no hope. For through our tears We see reflected
the rainbow Of promise across the bright horizon
of hlissiul future home in heaven to which our
friend has gone. And though the grave worm may

American voters, nothing is so dangerous to
your success in the election 7 Cd A Y
as over-confdence in your strength. 1t leads
10 a careless unconcern, equivalent, in effect,
TO inaction and indifference. In this mood,
Sampson was shorn of his locks and his

until this great battle has been valiantly fought

is TO GET EVERY VOTER TO THE

we may rest assured. We must use cores

Voters Of Davidson County,

The ticket proposed for your support TO day
by the American party, is such as any party
or community might well support with pride
and alacrity.
Col. GENTRY is a statesman Of established
NATIONAL fame. During public career OF
twenty years, he has maintained character
for integrity, patriotism and honor, untarnish-
ed even by the tongue of SANDER. His course
has ever been bold, manly, independent, and
though he has sometimes encountered fierce
partizan opposition, even his opponents always
admitted his high ability, and fearless, patri-
otto honesty Of purpose. In Congress, such
is known to have been his fame as an Ameri-
can statesman and orator, that lie was the
only member, save one, who could at'ody'
command, while speaking, the attention of the
whole House Of Representatives. Such is the
man whose name is proposed for Governor,
and who, 10 that high Office, will at once
honor himself, his party, and his State.
For Congress, the name of Gen. ZOLLl-
GOLFER commands universal respect, though
partizan opposition viii do its best to reduce
his majority Gt cannot defeat bim) to the
lowest possible scale. Firm, brave and gal
lant, sagacious and discreet, the services OF
such Representative are OF ineStilnable value
in the National Councils, for the irnminently
dangerous crisis which is fast approaching be-
tween the North and the South. Give him
such majority as shall strengthen his hands
in your behalf.
ANTHONY W. JOHNSON is just tho man
TO deserve and elicit the support of plain, hon
est, intelligent and patriotic people. His sound,
practical Judgment, and native energy and
moral independence of character is abundant
guarantee Of his dignity, ability, fidelity and
efficiency as Senator in your State Legisls-
ture.
NELL S. BROWN, we all know as n man Of
tried merit, true to every obligation, aud com
petent TO every trust reposed in BIN; and LU
CIEN NJ. TEMPLE is } Dung man of brilliant
promise, whose able discussions are an ernest
of his future usefulness, and whose opening
talent patriotic party may well delight to
foster and encourage. Such representation
in the Legislature will do honor 10 themselves
and promote the best interest of their constit-
uents
HERMAN COX, as a devoted aud eifcien,
advocate of American principles, deserves, and
will receive grateful and appreciative sup
port-an election as joint Representative by
an Overwhelming majority.
A,,rp,c.Ns of Davidson county on this
day we rally TO the closing struggle. Let us
give FULL VOTE to our WHOLE TICKET.
Let us avoid split tickets, scratch ont no Amer
jean name, but give TO every candidate OF our
patty our entire, united strength. "A long
pull, strong pull, aud q pull altogether,
will give them such majority as yon and
they alike shall be proud Of Onward, to the

All accounts, from every portion, OF the
Union, agree that the yield of grain Tor 1856
is almost unprecedentedly heavy. Induced by
the high prices which ruled last year, farmers
sowed unusually large breadths. The season
has been peculiarly favorable for healthy
maturity, and hence the great abundance, and
the prospect Of procuring breadstuffs at fair
and living rates. We may possibly see -four
at the old fashioned and familiar quotations of
$350a$4O0, though this is doubtful. At pres
ent, superfine flour is down to $6.0oa$6-5O
here, while in the Eastern markets $S.00a$6.-
so are the highest quotations. That there will
be a still further decline we cannot doubt.
Our foreign intelligence thus far has given
no intimatioD of demand from Europe of any
consequence. Yet it can scarcely be doubted
that both France and England viii need sup
plies. from this country. No reasonable data
is offered as TO the extent this demand may
go. The uncertainties connected with the
present condition of things there renders it
average yield is expected from the English
crops, yet that country must necessarily rely
to great extent, upon importations. The
theatre Of war covers the great grain grow
ing region, and this country must meet the
deficiencies thus resulting. The granaries
here will be fully adequate to this, however
large the deficiency may be-
A great cause of rejoicing is the present
plenty which pervades our land. Most be-
nignly has Providence smiled upon this vast
expanse, and made the husbandman glad with
the fruits of bis labor; and the toiling mil
lions of all pursuits feel grateful that they too
can participate in the Divine bounty. PEAoE
and PLENTY are great blessings.
