During the last fire the Indians had succeeded in removing nil their killed and wounded which lay near us. It wus now sundown; and we had been warmly engaged with the Indians since sunrise,a period of thirteen hours; and they seeing us still alive and ready for light, drew oir.it a distance of three hundred yards, and encamped for the night with their dead and wounded. Our party now commenced to work

in raising our fortification higher, and succeeded in getting it breast high by

They, after that, set out with their dead and wounded to a mountain about a mile distant, where they deposited their dead in a cave on the side ofit. At eight in the morning, two of our party went out from the fortification to the encampment the Indians had lain the night previous, and counted forty-eight bloody spots on the grass where the dead and wounded

had been laying. As near as he could judge, their loss must have been forty killed and thirty wounded. Fiuding ourselves much cut up, having one man killed, Thomas M'CasIin and three wounded, D.

the origin of the Society of Friends,

was elicited during the debate on the

THE DEPOSITS. By the annexed article from the Globe, it will be perceived that our re-

suggestions, that the deposits

would not be removed till after the

1st of November, does not fall far short of the mark. The first step will soon be taken in winding up the Bank the rest will follow. From Globe of yesterday.

We are authorized to state, that the

States, to the Stata Banks, as soon as necessary arrangements can be made

lor that purpose, and that it is believed, they can be completed in Baltimore, Philadelphia, New York and

Boston, in time to make the change by

the first of October, and perhaps sooner, if circumstances should render an

(earlier action necessary on the part of

the tvoverr.ment.

It is contemplated, we understand,

not to remove at once, the whole of

the public money, now on deposit in the Bank of the United States, but to

suffer it to remain there until it shall be gradually withdrawn, by the usual operations of the Government. And this plan is adopted in order to prevent any necessity, on the part of the Bank of the United States, for pressing upon the commercial community; and to enable it to afford, if it think proper, the usual facilities to the merchants. It is believed, that by this means the change need not produce any inconvenience to the commercial community, and that circumstances will not require a sudden and heavy call on the Bank of the United States so as to occasion embarrassment to the institution or the public. The general anxiety which has been manifested on this subject, has made it proper to announce wnat is intended to be done; and we understand that the facts and reasons which have led

to this measure, will shortly be laid before the public. It is believed that they will be found to be amply sufficient to justify the course which is now to be taken, in relation to the public deposits in the Bank of the United States.

We noticed in our last the treatment which a man named Hurlick, a collector of militia fines in Philadelphia, met with in that city. He will probably have to give up this disgusting business for the excitement against him gathers force as it goes on, as the following, from the Philadelphia Intelligencer will shew: Hurlick, the militia fines collector, is mobbed almost every day of his life. The day before yesterday he was surrounded by several hundred boys, shouting, pushing, and pelting him, until he was forced to take refuge in a

tavern in fourth street. The crowd without, having time to deliberate upon further operations, determined upon storming his place of refuge. They therefore provided themselves with eggs and other missiles; and having stationed themselves in such a way as to give him a general salute, a number entered the house to force the poor collector into the street First, how

ever, they pushed him partially out of

the window, when an individual on the outside discharged a bucket of water upon his hapless head. He was then forced into the street and greeted with

heartily tired of these lawless and riotous scenes. We since learn that Hurlick has been driven from hiscollcctorship.

IMPORTANT DISCOVERY. We find in the New Y'ork Evening Post, of Saturady. the following extra

ordinary article: "We do not know that mention has been made of a new discovery in the lithographic art, which is said to be susceptible of being extensively applied to useful purposes. An English gentleman it seems has discovered a

course, be perfect copies of the London

The present high price of cotton is not likely to receive any diminution from the crop of this season, which is expected to be rather a short than even an average one. The following letter from the Hon. G. McDuiBc, of South Carolina, dated the 1st instant, conveys some interesting and authentic information on this subject. "You ask my opininion of the present prcspects of the cotton crops, in those parts of Georgia and South Carolina through which I have recently travelled. I do not think there will be more than average crops, even should the season, in future, prove favorable.

and should there be a frost as early as the 'JOth of October, the crop will be a short one. Casual observers and even many planters are deceived by the luxuriant growth of the weed, and) have been induced to make an extravagant estimate. I never.have known so small a number of pods in proportion to the size of the stalk. Owing to the excessive and long continued cold rains in the spring, the cottoti did not commence its growth until two or three weeks later than usual; and though the subsequent good seasons caused it to run up rapidly and exhibit a fine promise, 1 am satisfied it will be as much later than usual in coming to maturity as it was in commencing its growth. Recently the forms have-fallen off very much owing to a heavyrain immediately succeeding a dry spell, and during the cold nights of the last two weeks, the rust has made its appearance in Abbevillve District, and has been very destructive on some plantations. How far it will extend is uncertain. The rot has also appeared, though when I left home, it had not done much injury, escept to a few planters within the circle of my acquaintance. 1 have seen several planters from Burke coui.ty, some of whom bavs been in the interior of Georgia, and they all agree that the cotton is

unusually backward, and that the quantity of fruit is unusually small."

FAVETTEvitLK. A hail storm of greater extent and violence, and attended by more disastrous consequences than we ever heard of, occurred in this state on Wednesday, the 28th ult. ft extended from

Stokes county to Wayne county, (,

how much farther we cannot say,) and was, as well as we can ascertain, from

six to twelve miles in width. la it course, it has literally devastated entire crops, in some places leaving cotton fields

without a green leaf to be seen: broken

down and broken to pieces corn stalks and ears of corn, so that the proprietors have been forced to turn their hogs in to

consume what would be otherwise worthless. Birds, poultry, and boss have been

killed, the roofs of houses split to pieces, and an immense quantity of window glass broken. 7ts duration was in some places halfan hour; and hail fell to the depth of several inches, the globuls being from the sizo of a partridge egg to that of a man1! fiat, ucredible as this may appear, we have the statement from so many sources that we are not at liberty to doubt it, or any

of the above facts.

We mentioned in the last Register, that many calculations had been offered concerning the demand and supply of cotton. We have since seen an estimate in the New York Evening Post which the editors say they have reason to know is from the pen of a writer

of intelligence, jccuracy and honesty,1

of Congress for tso or 30 years past, and have met with many, far less capable of ascertaining truth than Col. Crockett, much less attentive to the duties of their place, and of no more real use than would be one of .Maelzer automatons, so constructed as to pronounce the words aye and no. But

Aware of the fate which awaited him aud which be so well deserved, if he fell into the hands of the Americans, he timely secured a retreat; but it seems he has not been permitted to elude the punishment due to bis

cruelties; it has overtaken him from another quartet, and by a similar agency to that which he had hissself so heartlessly
