On the morning of the ninth day they retired, after having lost 200 of their number. Hut two men were

killed in the on; one hand re and twenty-five pounds of buiiets were gathered in the fort. While Boone was a captive at Chilicothe, his wife supposing that he wadead. returned with the family to North Carolina. Kentucky had been to her the bloody ground. Her first bom son had filien on its threshold; ihc daughter had been a captive, rehired by the imminent ri-k cf her fuller; and the father himself had a she feared, perislied under savage tortures. The party arrived on park horses, and they were clothed in skin. Boone afterward return 1 to visit them. When he returned to Kentucky, he could freely i mini ire in his passion for the chase, for there was now no danger from the Indian. Cat the Indians retired, the land became more valuable, and deeds and titles came ia repute. Boone had explored and occupied unclaimed tracts, but speculators and lawyers ou-ted him.

Confirmed Habits. Livery one knows ! the story-of the tallow chandler, who, having amassed a fortune, disposed of his business, and taken a house in the country, not far from London, that he might enjoy hiinself-after a few months trial of a heyday life, requested permission of his successor to come into town to assist him on melting days. 1 have heard of one who kept a retail spirit shop, and hav ing, in like manner, retired from trade, used to employ himself by having one puncheon tilled with water, and measuring it oil" by pints into

"Mr. Daniel Davis of Fulney, Vt. committed suicide on the night of the 17th nil. He escaped from his house sometime in the night, procured a ham mer, went to his Darn, ascended a ladder to the high beam, and endeavored to dig out his eves with a penknife. But not succeeding, he struck the blade of the knife to the hilt several times, into one ol his tlu-ihs, in cider, as it is sup posed, to cut the large artery there 'uated. but failing, he leaned over the beam, as appearances show, with his head downward, and with the ctmvs of the hammer aforesaid, he beat his head until he smashed the skull com pletelv into the size of the palm of one's hand; hooking out with the claws of the hammer pieces of the skull and some parts of the brain.

By an arrival from the Upper Mississippi, we learn that the steam boat St. Louis, bound for Galena, collapsed one of her boilers on the 12th inst., by which twelve or fourteen persons were either kihed, or seriously vvounded.The accident happened while endeavoring to pass the l)es Moines Rapids. We understand that the stern of the boat struck upe 1 a rock and careened her over the water in the boilers of course runninir to the lower side. In this situation the boat remained f twenty minutes or half an hour; when she righted, and the sudden return of the water into the boiler, produced an instantaneous explosion. The names of the snflerers, as far as wc have been enabled to gather them, are Perkins the engineer, killed ; Miss Moore, blown overboard and lol : Mrs. Moore and son dangerously scalded, and three other children killed; Mrs. Luckett, from Mill-creek, III., baldly scalded; Isaac iMars, dying when 1hc accounts left threcCermen dangerously scalded, and three other persons slightly iniured. The St. Louis was chartered for the trip from New Orleans to Galena. St. Isolds Republican,

The Washington Telegraph states that in the House of Representatives, on Friday last, after the vote had been taken on the Previous Question. Colonel Crockett rose to order. He had been endeavoring, he said, for a week past, to catch the Speakers eye. That lie was anxious to make a speech, and was prepared to do so, hut that he had been prevented twice, by the previous question. He therefore wished to know of the Speaker, if it would he in order for him to write out his speech, and publish it as if delivered on the floor.

The Speaker, we believe, made no decision on the point, but as their seem ed to be an universal approbation on the. part of the House, we hope, the Col. will lake it as an assent on their part to the intimation given by him. e hope therefore, soon to sec the speech that teas to have been. A NEGRO DRIVER. iUessrs. r.uuors mere is a negro driver now in this city whom I wish to brand with infamy, and in order that I may do so, I ask for room in 3 our col umns to make the following simple statement: A few days since, he went into the country a short distance from the city and purchased a negro woman, under the following circumstances. She was about 24 years old, of excellent charac ter, and married to a man of 23 years of age. As soon as the bargain was closed the driver told her to start, giving heronry ten minutes to prepare. She was not allowed to see her husband She, however, sent him word she was gone, and bade him good bye, and was driven into town and confined by her brutal purchaser. Wdien Ihc poor fel low, her husband, beared the message for they were tenderly attached and both 01 most excellent character he seemed absolutely stunned with the most unexpected blow. He followed his poor wife to town to take a last look and bid a last adieu, but the thought of parting was more than he could bear, and he determined if possible, to go with her and share her late. My mfoi mant saw him soon alter he came to town, and says that his appearance was such, so completely was his heart broken with anguish that had he (my informant) been master of $500 in the world they should have gone to redeem his wile. W hen asked what he intend ed doing, his reply was, "I will get my master to sell me to the driver, and go Willi my poor wile; my days will not be long on earth, and this I hope wil shorten them. Messrs. Editors. You, loo, are hus bands, and the poor fellow's face, of whom I speak, is not as white, but his blood is as red and as warm as your own; and 1 call upon every husband and every wile to set the seal of abhor rence and detestation upon the wretch who will thus dare to insult the mora sense of our community, and trample on the tenderest and holiest feelings of human nature. bl. Louis Repubican. PIRATES. Capt. Bennett, of ship London Pack et, at New Bedford, spoke March 3 oil" ascension Island, the British ship Carlow, from v . coast of Africa, hav mg on board nineteen pirates. On the African coast the Carlow boarded suspicious armed vessel, abandoned which blew up and killed one of her olhcers and men. She is supposed to have been the vessel belonging to the pirates, who were taken on shore. She is also ascertained to have been the same which robbed the brig Mexican of Salem, sometime since, of 25,000 111 specie. 1 he pirates were 1 orlu guese and Spanish, Forty six rattlesnakes were killec in one day, by a man at Pulaski, Geor gia. It was time to "wake snakes.' Mn. E ditor: On looking over the last number of the Palladium, I dis covered a communication over the sig nature of A. J. Cotton, in the, form of an address to the voters of Dearborn county. Now, sir, as the Reverend gentlemen has called my name in ques tion, in relation to the last August clec tion, I shall take the liberty to contra diet him in some of his statements. He says, " I should not have been a candidate had not Mr. If. (meaning Ilcustis or Hopkins,) assured me in the most unequivocal terms, he should not be a candidate. Wc talked the subject over more than once, Sec. Now, sir if it is me he means, I can assure friend C. that he is mistaken in both declara tions. In the first place, I never assu red him, cither by word or action, that I should or should not be a candidate and in the second place, I have no rc collection of talking with him on the subject of the election but once. He asked me if I intended to be a candi date; I told him I could not say. I ex I peeled there would be a nomination

hat I believed in (he Republican cc-

trine, 'neither to seek or rcluse ofnee.' le said nothing about his otinga can didate for the Legislature. His whole. mind seemed lo be taken up on the subject of the Magistrates' election. He went so far as to sav if elected Magis trate, he would rent an ollieo opposite my house, and hinted it would be. mon ey in my pocket. I had no objections to his being elected magistrate, but must confess that I had some objectionslo being brought into market. Conscnuentlv I did not advocate Lis election. He declined, but to return lo the as surances he says I made him. Now, I would rather throw the mantle of charity over my neighbor's faults than be under the necessity of exposing them; mil would therefore merely observe, that I am inclined to think he is like an old lady 1 heard of in New Yoik. who was remarkably fond of telling her dreams. It was not uncommon for her, on telling them over several limes, to begin to think tney were not dream, but that some person had told her. A few limes, telling them in this way, was sufficient to convince her that she had ictually seen and heard the whole of it. Now, 1 am not surprised at the Reverend gentleman's dreaming of fair promises, and ot pledges, when ins whole soul seems to be taken up in politics: for what is uppermost t(i men s heads by day, they are very apt to dream of at night. If religion had occupied his mind, I should not have been surprised, if he had dreamed of turning thousands from darkness into Jit, with this difference, it would have made him more rational he would have told it as a dream. Now, I would advise my Reverend friend, not to write his political com munications on Sundays; and it would be as well on week days to keep the briers do wn, that it may not be said as "I passed by his garden, I saw the

wild brier," &e. but if he must write, let it he on Religion, Agriculture, or Natural Philosophy, &c. ; and even then a practical lecture would lie preferable. I must also differ with him in relaliion lo either of us having run singlehanded, that one of us would have been elected. He might have been, perhaps, but 1 know I had no chance having the County Collector on my back, with between $1,C00 and .yOOO of county funds in his pocket, and Mr. C.'s tales besides. Feeling anxious that we should have a representative from Manchester, I advocated his -.Ice-lion in preference to my own took no pains to contradict any reports '.'either should I now, if the subject had been left at rest. I know the people are not interested in our scribbling, and if the Rcv'd. genllem an is as Ionic winded on paper, as he is in the P 1, I shall back out and give him the. field. Mr. C. speaks of submitting his claims to the people. I never knew that would-be public servants had claim on the people, but always thought "vice versa." I don't think he has any claim on me I guess he never voted often for me, notwithstanding his friendship. I always thought it was best for great men to mind their own business; if the state had need of their services, it would send for them. It was fo with Cincinnati!., and when Rome sent her delegation to him, he was found at his plough. Now, I think if Dearborn county should send twenty delegates to A. J. C, they would he full as likely to find him plodding how to get inlo office, as at his plough. If I understand Mr. C, he met with a most singular defeat last year. He says, "Will any man suppose that 1 1 votes are all I could get in Laughery township al a fair poll? No. Consequently 1 was defeated." That is, because no man would suppose 1 I voles were all he could get in Laughery, if 1 understand him right, was the cause of his defeat. I have heard of Irish bulls, but I have no name for this. In his postscript, if I understand it correctly, he says he is not willing to enter 011 board the public ship, unless tin; owners will agree to let him go below, until the storm that is rising in the south has blown over. Now, sir, I will demur to that, as I have a small part in the ship. I don't want any man on board that is afraid of a storm. Fair weather sailors had better not go lo sea. Now, sir, if the Rev'd. gentleman will come forward and say he has a discharge from a former call and enlistment, that I have heard him speak of, and is willing to serve in all weather, I have no objection (o his entering the ship. It is a difficult mailer to serve two masters. I would just inform friend C, that I am one of ihc sovereigns, this year, and have no apprehension that the public will dethrone me so he will have a fair chance in Manchester, as relates to mc O.
