VINCENNES, SOVEMBEB 7, 1829

The Josiah Culbertson, whose brave iv, firmness, and dcrosi'm to his truis, is

commemorated in the following articie, lately published in the 41 Saturday Evening Post," is now, and for many years has been a resident of Daviess county, in this stale He is in;v upwards of eighty years old, and still re

tains that firmness of character, steadiness of

purpose, and love of country by which he was distinguished in his youth, lint he is per

sotully known to very many of our citizens,

and, although his lot has been cast m an hum

hlc sphere, wherever he is known, his worth

is appreciated ; it is therefore needless to

extend my rcmatks further. There aic now in our vicinity many emi grants from Carolina, who have been long ac uuaintcd with Mr. Culbsrtson' and his ex

ploit ; -amongst others, one person, at that

time about twelve years old, who was in the immediate vicinity of the house defended by Culukhtson, heard the guns fired, and went to the house immediately after the retreat ol the lories. Judge Thompson of Daviess county, was raised in the neighborhood, has heard the anecdote from his early days as a matter of fact, and has always understood that Mr. Culbertson, n jw of Daviess county, was the man. It is worthy of remark, vlat during the late contests for the Presidency, Mr. Culdeutson, in the true spirit of '76, supported (Xhc pretentions of our present most excellent chief magistrate. II EVOLUTION A II Y REMINISCENCE. Josiah Culbcrtson and Mr. Thomas, highy deserve a niche am mg the revolutionary worthies of the Upper Country It has been stated in the body of the history, that Gov. Jluthcdgc, in 1776, sent up ammunition to the whigs to keep the lories in subjection in Nmty six Diitiict. A part ol this was lodged with Cot. John Thomas, tiusoand ol Mrs. Tnoma, who lived in the district now called Spartanburg, part of old Ninety six. In the inning of i7S0, while the British besieged Charleston, it was guarded by Culbcrtson a;i I twenlv-fivc men, and the arrival of the ftitish m,pr ed the tones with lrcsh hopes. Col. Moore, a loyalist, afterwards killed in Georgia, determining to be early conspicuous, raised a body ot 150 toties with a dosign totaki- fiat am mention Upo.i the approach of Moor with such a superior lorce, the guard, except Culbertsou and his mother-in-law, Mis. Thomas, fled, many of them leaving their guns behind Culbcrtson said all he could to get them to fight, in vain; and

being under me cover of a strong log house, he Metcrmine l to fight the toi y party himself. Accordingly he loaded his guns, Mrs. Thorn-

T as in the mean time, being employed in moul4 .V. Kutiotu T inm tlrtwt m lnnd r rind

lie stood upon his defence. When the tories came within reach he fired upon them in such rapid succession that believing the woolc guard to be under cover oi the house, they took to their heels and run away. I have stated before, that a considerable quantity of ammunition was hid by Major McJunkin, in hollow trees, until teclaimed by him for Sumntcr this v as the same ammu

T ration defended by Culbcrtson, and it was ex-

penned by sumptcr in nis attack on Kocy Mountain, and at the battle of the Hanging Rock. In this point of view, Culbertson's doicucc, besides the bravery of it, became highly important in its consequences, for Sumpter could not have commenced his opelations without that ammunition.

THREE DAYS LATER NEWS. By the fast sailing ship Tally ho Captain R.

It will bo seen by the following extracts,

that Adrianople surrendered to the arms of

the Russians, and was occupied by the forces

of General Diebitsch, on the morning of 8th (20lh) August, an event indicates by the intelligence by the Nimrod. Constantinoil? was abandoned to 8,000 Brigands, (deserrt rs1

and Janissaries) who commit'ed all k:tidb of

excesses, i rebisoud also haJ opened it9 gates to the invaders, and (according to the Gazette de Fiance,) the Turks were sueing oi peace. The successful result of the harvest, and its abundance, with the depressive effect produced thereby on bread stuffs, is confirmed bv this ai rival, and the prices a will be observed by our commercial extracts, continued to decline. In Paris there continues to be a vigorous opposition to the new French Ministry, which is accused of being secre'lv in the interest of England and Austiii, and meditating a coali
