Be sore and get all the oots! Remem

the main body of the root becomes only a

they can bold on to. 4 j ' 4 ;
In setting out thejrees be careful to make
ihe hole so large that the roots shall not be
coiled : neither let them be crowded togeth
rri, for then they will decay. 4
I Throw upon the roots at first fine strong
mould, never any manure; then throw on
water, and shake the tree till the mud has
filled up all the interstices bet ween the roots.
After the ground is somewhat dry, fill up
the hole and tread down the earth. Never
leave a tree so that water can Aland over
Us roots. j j

post with thirty five men. He had not proceed
ed more thin a mile and a half before be found
he enemy's sigrns. Whilst examining tbeoi,
he was fired upon from a dense hammock, by
what was supposed to be about forty rifles One
of his men fell dead, another was wounded. He
ordered his men to retreat to the pine trees Du
ring which time, he was pursued by the great
body of the Indians, who were firing, upon and
attempting to outflank him He had retreated
xbool tour hundred yards, when he continued to
return the fire in beautiful style. . One Indian
was shut dead from the lop of a tree, and anoib
er was seen to fall from a log where be was
standing, whh hwnjwe supposed to be direct
ed to Lieut. If aTi son, who woulJ inevitably
hare fallen bot for tbe cry of one of his men,
'Lieutenant, look to your Jefi he will kill yon.'
He immediately stepped behind a pine tree, and
the ball passed so close to him that it drew
blood from his temple. After Maintaining the
position he had4aken for about thirty fire min
utes, and firit g nine rounds of catridges, Ihe In
dians tknlked into the hammock, liieot. Han
son V men then came rot and dared them to the
fight : many were seen on dead Jogs crowing
like cocks, and offering every other inducement
to biinjy the red gentlemen out asain. They
were three tiroes the forcei but they- felt . disin
dined to renewtfwrirp;. Thus were onwards
of one hundred Indians defeated wnbeut the aid
or assistance of any mher iban his owe little
band. His cofilness and determination is much
to be commended, and adds another laurel to the
wreath of ihe valiant regiment to which Le is
attached, (the 7ih infantry.) ,. 4
fit is so pinned that 11 was not the intention
of the Indians to k'll Lieut. Turner. Their ob
jfet was- to massacre the cmnrnand of Lieut.
Hanson, which must have been the case but for
ihe gallant conduct of its leader. -Too moeb
praise cannot be lavished on such men.- Capt.
E. S. Hawkins heard ihe firing at Wa-ka-hoo
ee, and started wjih a detachment of men.
When he airivfd at the battle ground, the firing
had ceased, 1 hey charged the hammock to
gether, but the Indians weie grone."
