AN INDIAN SroRY.-Spcaking of Indians,

number Of years on the frontier, and whom
we shall call Capt Perry. lie occos.o ona1ly
takes rather too much of the inspiring
fluid and, like others who have passed
through an eyentful life, is fond, when in
this state, Of relating his hair-breadth cs-
capcs ; and also, like most others, magnihes
them to somewhat unwarrantable extent
Being in the Grocery the other day, while
the captain was relating one Of his adven-
lures, which happened near some lake, the
name Of which do not remember he stated
that it occurred on the Fourth Of July
After performing unheard-of prodgieS Of
yalor, he was finally forced to run. This
he did, and shortly afterward found himself
on the bank Of the lake, which was frozen
solid all the way across Without mo-
mcnt'S hesitation he started over followed
closely by the Indians, three in number
When about n mile from the shore, he per
ceyed the Indians were becoming scattered
and, STOPPING down, he picked up hoop
pole and killed them, one at time as they
came up.

A CARD the undersigned, having been un-
"A der the treatment of Dr. l. j. Czankay, al
though unsolicited, feel called upon to give pub
lefty to the efficacy of his treatment hoping that
by so doing may be instrumental in preventing
others from the fearful suffering and misery which
experienced, and which so often result from the
pcrnicious practices of pretenders. Ny disease
has been that of physical and mental debility,
which follows in consequence of the indiscretion
in youth. The agonies which endured are, per-
haps, unnecessary for me to detail, they are known
to those who have experienced them. Suffice it
to say. that having called the services of Dr. l.. j
Czapkay in requisition, all my expectations which
| may have formed of him were more than real
lied. would therefore recommend DR.. Czapkav
to all who may find themselves afflicted with that
dreadful malady, my object in so doing being
sympathy for suffering humanity, and a heart
felt desire Of ofrelieving them.

my health, strength and energy and as n last

Czapkay, who, after examining my case, pre-

strict obedience to his directions and advice,

The SUSPENSION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS
Our exchange papers are pretty generally
filled with articles about "The Banks" and
the "Financial Crisis" and as it is the allen
crossing subject just now, we don't know
that we can do better than to give some Of
their thoughts and specuiations thereon
The following from New York paper, on
the suspension of specie payments" is of
interest as indicating how the wind sits in
that direction and the manner in which the
immense monied interests there intend to use
"the times" for their own advantage. 1t says;
"The suspension Of specie payments is
hailed in some quarters as a relief to the
merchants but if we recall the experience
of '36, '37, '3S, 40 and Al, we shall see wha!
sort of relief it is.
Ease is the first effect--that is, some mer-
chants are saved for the moment, but only
for the moment. Specie is the true and only
test of values, and the only solvent Of debts,
and the relief suspension gives is like that
of Rum, Opium, or any other stlmulant.-
THE drink being over, delirium tremenS
comes. Hence, the case of 1867 was but
prolonged delirium tremenS, which did not
end till l84l. When the screw began to be
put on for resumption, the agonies of the
tortured community were just us severe as if
they had endured them nj the start, without
putting off the evil day. The relief was but
temporary: the punishment lasted for years.
Now, il is very true, that Philadelphia, Bal
timoie, and other places where the banks
have suspended, may receive temporary relief,
from their ability to discharge debts in bank
paper; but soon, nay, even now, the people
are compelling the banks to resume, and the
banks, in the process of resumption, will have
to put on the same screws the merchants
there have Just been feeling. Every debt to
New York, every debt to Europe, every debt
to the Custom House, and to the Post Office,
must be discharged in specie, and only in spe-
Gle.
Now New York insists upon and will have
only specie, and the suspended banks every
where will soon be brought TO this touch
stone by the people and the Legislatures
about them. New York, it is true, is suffer
ing, and must go on suffering, frightfuIly,
from the struggles of debtors everywhere in
the suspended districts, TO pay us paper in
lieu Vi opeClt, anu VIII NV pay
New York, therefore, will only be more ex-
igent in demanding resumption everywhere.
TO have anything from Europe or elsewhere,
now through US, specie must be paid. Far
mers' and Planters products must come right
down to the specie test. The price of
bushel of wheat in Virginia or elsewhere,
will not be the price in paper there, but the
price in specie in New York. Every thing
must go through our golden crucible. The
test is TO be terrible, and everybody will suf.
fer by il; but it is far better to suffer now
than to be suffering, as In 1886, on to l84l.
1t may now be three months bleeding; but
the patient who survives will be healthier than
ever, even if he can only stand the Dr. San.
grade. The consolation is sad one, to be
sure; but it is better to bleed TO death at
once than to be suffering by slow poison for
yenrs and years.

eB- The following from an old Mexican
camp song is quoted in reference to the new
ambition of Gen. Pillow:
hang my harp upon the willow,
Whenever think of Gideon Pillow,
The man who dug for Polk and Marcy,
His ditch and breast-works vice versa"

SELL YOUR UNITED STATES SrocK!-The
United States Treasury is full of gold and
silver. 1t ows debt which pays to the
holders only six per cent on the par value,
and scarcely four per cent upon that rate, at
which the Government desires to purchase
it. The accounts from Washington say that
the Secretary of the Treasury will continue
to purchase at previous rates, and pay the in
terest besides, TO the present time. The
person who holds this stock until il falls due
will then get only par for it and six per cent
in the mean time. Let him sell now at q
premium and buy stocks that will surely pay
ten per cent, besides saving him the premium
on his United States stock.

Notwithstanding that journal affects to

cent proceedings have excited in nine ienihs
of them no other feeling than that of the ut
most disgust. They have no idea of swal-

by the Enquirer. They know the odions

MYSTERIOUS AND FATAL DISEASE AT CHICAGO
We have seen private letter from Chicago
stating that mysterious epidemic has broken
out there, and proved fatal to many persons
all of whom were sick but few hours. The
disease is said to resemble black vomit, but
the physicians have been unable so far to de-
termne its real character. A large number
of cattle have also been carried off, the same
symptoms being presented upon them.

GOVERNMENT RELIEF.-The Administration
at Warrington have shown good spirit for
the times in paying out coin from the Sub
Treasury. The effect has been very beneficial
to the money market. BY authority of Con
gress many enterprises were authorised in the
way of building ships, steamers, light houses.
custom houses, DC, and large appropriations
were made for these purposes. The present
is a most opportune moment to go on as rap.
idly as possible with the various works and
where aid can be extended to labor in this
way, it will afford substantial relief to q
worthy class of persons
The Athens post. [volume] (Athens, Tenn.) 1848-1917, 1857-10-09

Truths FOR THE TIMEs.-We like the
spirit Of tho following, from the New York
Express:
"These are certainly shines that try mems
souls" Nothing like misfortune, though, to
bring out the better, or worse, traits of ind-
vidual character, and showing up human ma
ture just rs IL is-shorn of the conventional
DISCUSSES which society alows-when every
thing glides smoothly along on the even cur.
rent of everyday life.
Thus, at crisis like this, when financial
disaster is sweeping far and wide, and bear
ing down all before it, the man, or the men,
or the corporation, that are strong enough to
withstand its effects, have certain obvious du-
ties to discharge towards their less fortunate
brethren, which cannot be neglected consis
tenty with the hypothesis that they have
souls to be tried" Those duties nre-that
the strong should help the weak-th for.
bearance of creditors towards debtors-an
accommodating spirit in cases where accom-
mediation is needed and deserved; encour.
agement for the Responding; words of good
cheer for those who are fainting and falling
by the way-side; in short, something like a
real, practical personal respect for the golden
rule of doing rs we would be done by. Now
10 the time for men 10 show they have hearts;
that the Christisnity they have bten profess
ing from their youth up, is not a fiction, but
fact. II man does not carry his religion
into the operations Of every day life, it is not
worth the gilded hymn book he carries in his
hand on Sunday-or the shilling or sxpence
no drops into the charity box-or the fund
he subscribes to for the conversion of the
heather.
No man stands alone in this world. We
oil lean on one another, somehow-and such
are the mutations Of life, that the strong
man Of today may be the weak man to.mor-
row. II this grand truth were but kept in
remembrance, the great Christian virtue OF
charity, II is certain, would be honored with
more universal observance than il is. But
Il is one Of those truths that are too frequent.
" lost sight Of ia seasons Of prosperty, when
all goes prosperously on-but when storms
arise, and the day Of distress rings in our
ears, Il must knock at the heart Of the most
callous, and prompt to deeds of generosity
and goodness that else were unthought Of
and unperformed. If there were no misfor-
tunes, no misery in this world, there could be
no charity-and without charity, what would
become Of our humanityp

GEN. HASKELL. The Louisville Courier
speaking of the arrival of Gen. II. at the
Asylum at Lexington, says:
The formal dignity with which he surren-
dered himself to the Superintendent of the
institution, and the native nobility of his
bearing, even under his mental arrangement,
were sadly impressive. We are pleased to
learn that strong hopes are entertained OF
his early restoration to reason.

system, which locks up thirty millions of the
precious metals in the government vaults,
while the people must be served with depre-
ciated paper.

CRoAKING.-The croaking in the streets
about "The Panic" "Pressure in the Money
Market" and "Hard Times" is awful. And
ms generally happens on such occasions, per-
sons most likely to be least effected by the
existing arrangement, are ioudest in their
complaints. We have heard men cursing the
"d-n Banks" who never owned five dollar
bill in their lives; and others, who never pay
except at the extremity of the law, express.
ing great apprehension least they should be
unable to meet their January debts, because
their funds consist of the issues of the Free
Banks. And still others, who never before
even dreamed of paying for their paper, have
suddenly become conscientious on the sub
jec!, and come in and settle up with depre.
ciated money, of course,) with the apparent
JUNCTION and fervor of honest men. In refer
ence to the last we wish to say, that we will
take the bills of all the Free Banks-except
the two mentioned in another place as having
run away-for subscriptions due us. So that
all in arrears can relieve themselves of their
Free Bank paper 10 the extent of their in.
debtedness to this office.
We have given notice in another place that
we would take Ocoee money, either for old
or new subscriptions.
