Having failed in all attempts to surprise tin settlement, the Indians suddenly disap peared probably in search of easier prey.

When this was communicated to Jenny liirch, she was very much alarrm;d, for she remembered tho threat, of Ondega at part ing, and rightly guessed that he was now cii'lcavorinir to earrv tho threats into cxe- cmion ; but, on her making known her fears 10 the settlern, she was assurod that uo haml should harm her as long as tliere was a man 111 u ihiat could raise a ntlu.

I have sjiken of their adaptation to cotton. Nowit would not be right to regard them as adajed only to this crop, for if there are soils rhich are uni versal 111 their adaptation, ieso iarK red : soils of Cabarro.s, Mecklcnlirg and Rowan are of this description. It isrtie that there are degrees of excellency wfh those which bear tlie color I have spokeiof. The Pro vidence soils are looser thai(hose of some other tracts, for the latter ire stiftcr and more liable to bake under tl sun than the former. It is not, however,!) be concealed that these red soils are inpatient under droughts. The crops are liale to fail when the rains fail in this respect hey rank be low the sandy soils of I ' nid. The latter are based upon and derived fcru the slates ; while the former are based upn and derived from certain varieties of ranite. Thi granite contains a large amunt of iron in the state of a protoxide, whili onc.xpnurc to tho air becomes a peroxie, which has the red color of the soil. Tic iron, how- ever, may be in . combination with sulphur, which in decomposing passes into a state ol peroxidation. This latter coudition of the iron appears from the color of the soil, w heve t lie roots of the oak arc found, and es pecially, wl.entlicy are wounded. In this caso,thegnllic acid exuding from the wound ed roots finds in the soil sulphate of iron. Ink will, therefore, be formed by this com bination, and the purple black streaks w hich appear in t'le raiiroad cuts are due to for mations cf ink.

Mr. Nathan Holmes, jr, of this town, came to bis death on Saturday last it. a manner as singular as it was sudden and unexpect ed. About two years since, 011 the occasion of having a tooth extracted, he was taken a bleeding, not only in the cavity where the tooth was drawn, but from all bis gums; and so freely did the blood flow that il was several days before it could be staunched, and then only by the difficult and painful operation of cauterizing Although com pletely prostrated by the loss of a large quantity of blood, yet he rapidly recovered, though he has hail one or two attacks since. On Friday night last he w as again suddenly takeu with blooding at the gums, w ithout any apparent cause, and so profusely did the blood flow, that all efforts to stop it proved unavailing, nnd on Saturday ho died from the effects.

We arc rejoiced to witness the rapid pro gress in reformation on the habits of intem perance in our country, and prsy with what increased rapidity it may spread until the use of ardent spirits should have been a- bandoned throughout the land. There is certainly a visible reformation jroinir on, which nli are disposed to acknowledge ; ex- cept those who hate the very appearance of retorm, and who are determined to convince the world that no force1 of argument or of example can affect in the least, their steady march to destruction, and who still add drunkenness to thirst and glory in their shame, accelerating their, mad progress to irretrievable ruin. i es we are glad to say that wo lip longer witness daily every old toper whose legs can carry himitrue to his Uou, tojako an active and zealous part. i pood Uacchus, bending his way to his temple, Are not the eradication f vice, kitd l.o where without (ear, without shame, without preservation of the community from its con remorse, however great his guilt, and with- taminating consequences, two of the lead out expense, he may offer his daily devo- ing objects of religion T Can such erudi tions ; and even those pale and haggard ca'ioii he .fleeted without means adapted faces, which hope seemed to have hit 1' r- to the purpose and skilfully amdied t Now ever to UarK despair, smile once more thro tears upon him, in whom she ouee watched i 1,10 gradual extinctions of all she had ever loved in the being to whom she must still be united ; and over who-e degraded brow she would fondly spread the soft shallow of her tenderness, that no ray of piercing light might reach it, to render more con.-piouous us neiormity ami its shame, and the very "lr wn nrcaflieu wlneli seeniefl to In- im- air wn lireathed '.

After he has produced it, he frowns upon the wretch whom he has made drunk. Kut every retailer should remember that the drunkards by whom be is surrounded are his own children and apprentices, and that they afford a living exhibition of the char acter of his own deeds. When he looks upon then, ragged and degraded ; when he hears the noon-day curse, and witiies-es the drunken revel, he should say here is my work. It is my trade to malic such men ; I have spent my life in it ; and if he be a man of any moral feeling, and duly appre ciates his guilt, he will raise his hi nds to heaven and declare beforn hie Oo,t l. i. will make no more such ; nnd resolve at once that his occupation shall be something higher than the mere keeper of a grog-shop, where every degrading passion is fed, and where is kept the food tor drunkenness. Yes, here the temperate drink, and here I 'l behooves our Secretary of the Navy to they learn to be drunkards.

Wh.at benevolent, what chri-tian heart, would pot, exult! And shall it not be done ; Let j public sentiment be arrayed again. t it ; let the -iflic be reprobated by the christian world, and in a short time it will assume its proper character, and none w ill engage in ' it but the vile an I abandoned.

No man would ! t imed in tlv limner ot tint place : engage in a trade that none but drunkards would support. No man could maintain a business for which drunkards were the only' custodier. On tho temperate, therefore, i rests this awful re-pon-ihi!ity. For them it remains to decide whether this land shall continue t. suOer all the wretcheduess and woe which this vice' has caused, or w hether it shall be relieved from the horrors i in temperance. For them it remains-tof ay, whether iutt mpcrance shall end with thu present gciitratkn of drunkards ; or w heth er it shall survive to sweep away their chil dren and their children's children, to the end of lime. And will they not dceidje this question? As a community, you haye but to will a reform and the work in done,' Put we arc sorry to see so many of the chris- . tian part of the community, who should bn ' most zealous in the cause, fold their arms as if they had no duty to perform. In cvo- ry enterprise undertaken for the benefit of mankind the elni.-linii public have a part, and a very important part, to perform ; but more especially when that cntcpriso aims attho moral improvement of the world. When vice is. to be put down, and virtue promoted, the christian as called upon by a xor-c winch ne cannot nisregnru, ny the voice of religion, and by the voice of bin since inten the way, and the only wav. to bnni-h jeranee from the land has been rrnini. cd out, it is the rhri-tian's dutv to ad.rt tli i course, whatever may be the saeriliee. on, I 10 to disclaim all connexion betwecu rum and religion.
