CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. AUGUSTA. WEDNESDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 25. Another failure of the mail. This is particular ly perplexing at this time, when we are expecting Important foreign news. There are five mails due this evening. Editor's Correspondence. Milledgeville, Monday, November 23d. In my letter of Friday '2oth inst.) I discover ; that you have made quite an important alteration by substituting a j for az. In the last paragraph but one you make me allude to some of the friends l of General Harrison as “ jealous advocates, ” when ■ it should have been “ zealous advocates .” Soon after ray letter of Saturday was closed both j Houses adjourned to the hour of 3 o’clock, P. M., for the purpose of completing the action of the Legislature on the pardon of James Hunter, ol Chattooga, which being completed both Houses adjourned to this day. By reference to the Bill presented by the Bank Committee to both Houses, I discover 1 was mis taken as to the time at which that bill contem plated a return to specie payments, when I stated as tl.e Ist of January, when it was the first ol February, 1841. In the House this morning the bill of Mr. Mur phy, of Deka'b, called tne Poor School Bill, which has numerous and extensive provisions, that I can not now (for want of time since its passage,) con dense in this letter, was taken up and passed. In the Senate this morning, the unfinished bus;- | boss of Saturday being the bill for the with- { drawal of the six thousand dollar appropriation ! to ihe Franklin College, was taken up and after ! discussion passed by a vote of 31 yeas, 48 nays. Mr. Echols, of Walton, then called up the reso- | lution of Mr. Calhoun, of Muscogee, providing for the election of a United States Senator, and moved to lay the same on the table tor the balance of the session, which motion is now being discussed. And should the vote be taken to-day, and the whole party follow in the wake of their leaders, the tac tion will be carried, as there are some half dozen Harrison Senators absent. Yours, J. North Carolina. Forty-three counties have been heard from, which I give a majority for Harrison of about 11,600! Illinois. The Cresent City of the *9th says, returns from 78 counties, received yesterday, show merely that the contest has been very close. We believe Van Buren has that little State. The Tuskaloosa Flag of the Union of the ISth has returns from 42 counties, which give a Van Buren majority of 3400. Seven counties yet to hear from which in August gave 1527 Locofoce majority, More Indians. The Tallahassee Floridian of the 21st says —A detachment of ten men from Cap.ain A Burney’s Company, under the command of Lieut. Mews, on Saturday, the 14th in»t., was scouting near the head of the Siccohopko, when they heard a rifle fire, and on proceeding to the place, they saw an Indian reloading his rifle. They immediately fired •n him and killed him. They then proceeded up the same stream, and on the morning of the loth inst. Lieut. Mews fired his rifle at another, and supposed to have wounded him, but he made his escape. They had proceeded but a lew miles when they saw a small party of Indians, which they fired into, and killed one, but the others succeeded in carrying him off, and concealing him in the swamp?. It would be advisable for all citizens on the fron tiers west of Tallahassee, to be on the look out. as there is supposed to be more Indians sec tion of the country than has yet been there since they lately commenced hostilities there. The Charleston Mercury of yesterday says:— By the schooner Empire , Capt. Southwick, we have received the St. Augustine Herald and News of the 20th inst. The News says, in re ference to the failure of the last “talk,” “ it is ru mored that all the posts are to be destroyed ex cept a few necessary depots ; wagons sold, com pany officers to march on foot, and the old sys tem of hunting the enemy to be revived.” The following order issued by Gen. Armistead, looks a little wratby: Head-Quarters, Army of Florida, / Fort King,Nov. 16, 1840. 3 j Order No. 57.—Part ll.—The Indians having . acted with their usual want of faith the Armis- ! tice is at an end ; the Commanding Officers of different Regiments and Posts, will therefore be prepared to act offensively on the promulgation of this order. 111. The General Commanding has reason to ke gratified with the zeal and energy heretofore displayed by the officers and troops under his command, and in calling for increased energy on their part, he is confident his wishes will be met •nd he anticipates the happiest rebuild from the approaching active campaign. Should the enemy hereafter appear with the white Bag, they are to be made prisoners, and dili gently guarded until further orders. By order of Brig. General Armistead, W. J. NEWTON, Lieutenant and Aid-de-Camp. i [True Copy.} R. Ridgeley, Adjutant 3d Artillery. Indian Affairs.— A parcel of Indians on the St. John, were surprised the other day, by r a par ly under Lieut. Sibley, and twelve women and children captured, with a great quantity oi their plunder. The Express states, that he understood 1 that Tiger Tail and several chiefs, were at Fort i King. This shows that the account from Tam \ pa, of the flight of the Indians, reported by the echr. Rio Grande, was unfounded.— Tallahassee Floridian of the 21 st. Pensacola, Nov. 7. By the Schooner Rio Grande, Capt. Jenkins, arrived this morning from Tampa Bay, we learn that the Indians have again broken faith and left the whiles to wonder at their treachery. On breaking loose at Tampa, they killed one man, tireing seven balls into his body and scalping him within a few hundred yatds of 2500 troops. On the day the Rio Grande left, Gen. Armistead started with a regiment of men tor Fort King. Thus ends this last attempt to form a treaty with the Seminole*, Many locos will suffer greatly in purse as well as in feeling, from the result of the Picsidenlial •lection, as they have had large sums slaked in bets, and much more than they would have had, if they had not bsen most shamefully duped and deceived by their parly organs. Wc arc sorry for them, on many accounts. Sorry they were induced to bet—sorry that they lose their money —sorry that they must be mortified with defeat and disappointment—but we have no sympathy or charity for their deceivers—the Niles, the Ken dalle, the Blairs, and Butlers of their party, who cere only tor themselves.—— N.

From the Merchant’s Magazine fur Rove aher. | Connection of Learning with Commerce, j The reciprocal benefits of commerce ar.d agri ! culture have been often slated, and cannot be 100 strongly urged. In our country, this connection should be constantly kept in mind. The future prosperity of the United States depends on the re cognition and practical ooservancc of tins great (ruth. Perhaps the connection of commerce aau science is not theses s real, nor the less important j to ue recognized. Whatever tends to the increase and dissemination of science in a nation, must contribute toils improvement, and therefore toils true aiui permanent prosperity. If the morals oi a people are not invariably in proportion to their knowledge, their character is generally improved by it, as to the arts of civilization and political strength; but so long as they remain in a -tale ol ignorance, there is far less hope, as well of their political power, as of their moral elevation. A referance to the history of past ages will show that learning and science have usually accompan ied or closely followed commercial enterprise, and serve to ensure its just appreciation with enlight ened and patriotic citizens, by suggesting an im portant consideration of its benefits, in addition to what is more commonly called the prosperity ol a nation, its pbysibal resources and wea th. It is true, indeed, that an intercourse between different countries, for the purposes of trade, may be, and in remote ages was, maintained by land ; transportation; but since navigation has been i known and improved, the other mode es convey ance has been in a great measure discontinued, j And where the local situation of countries would permit, a preference has been given to navigation, since the age ot' Solomon ,- and probably us early as the exoue of the Israelites from Egypt, five hundred years before the reign of that prosperous monarch. Three Smndrcd years before Moses trade was pursued between central and western Asia and Egypt, by means of land t ransportation From CaalJea and Persia, and the Hither India, the caravans passed through Syria to the eastern shores of the Mediterranean and to Egypt, and some of them probably across the Red Sea to Nubia a country probably of more early settlement than Lower Egypt. So Chaldea and not Egypt, may justly be considered as the cradle ofthe human lamuy, after the deluge; and the country, whence originated and were com municated the learning and science of eariy peri ods. Some of the grand-children of Noah sc Tied in Chaldea ; and they had all the learning which survived the calamity of an universal deluge. As the descendants of iho antediluvian patriirch ts third and fourth generations removed, some cast of the Euphrates, and others west and south, to .-vrabia, Syria, Nubia. Egypt, dec., an intercourse would naturally !>« maintained between those countries; and an exchange of the products of i each would be made for the purpose of trade, c The descendants of Noah, who remained in the < fertile plains of Shinar, would be most likely to j \ | make greater progress in the arts and in science j : | than those removed to remote regions and who 1 I had to struggle hard lor the mere necessaries ol < ) hfe. The merchants or traders to whom Joseph : ’ j was sold, where Midianitcs engaged in traffic be ' tween their country (part of Arabia) and Egypt, 1 who passed through the land of Canaan, and probably first visited older settlements in the east t ! bringing thence various articles of great value. For they had not only balm and myrrh, but spices, which mignt in very early times have been con veyed across the Persian Gulf, though in boats ; comparatively small and fragile. 1 Tiie early population of Arabia is implied, | I hooch not so expressly asserted by Moses as that |of Chaldea, Syria, and Egypt. There were men ! of learning and science in Arabia before Moses. ; I Job and bis friends had some acquaintance with 1 astionomy, derived no doubt from their Chaldc .n ancestors; and a knowledge of astronomy, even when atunded with some errors in theory, and destitute of the discoveries of modern times, pre supposes some acquaintance with mathematics. The fact indeed is undisputed, that in Chaldea, Hither India, and Arabia, the science of numbers and of arithmetic was early cultivated. The Chaldeans possessed ad the information I which Noah and his sons had communicated j from the antediluvian race; and from the remo ; test periods were celebrated for their study of the j divine science of astronomy. ine kindred sciences, no doubt, were studied by them, and soon spread to distant countries. All other na tions having originated from Chaldea, would rea dily receive knowledge thence, anu even revisit it both fur trade and science. In very early ages, however, this intercourse, as already suggested, was chiefly maintained by land conveyance. The first c{forts in navigation arc now un known : but it is probable they began as soon as J the descendants of Noah spread to the Persian Gulf, and to Arabia, and the Red Sea. and through Canaan to the eastern shores ot the . .diterrane •an. It is supposed by some learned men, loa* the Phoenicians practised navigation as early as the time of Moses, (or soon after,) fifteen hun ched years before the Christian era, and that they visited distant ports on that sea. When the peo ple of Canaan wereMriven outer their borders by i Jo«hua, romc of them probably colonized places in the western parts of Asia Minor, m Greece, and on the northern coasts of Africa. In the days of Solomon, navigation attracted great attention, and it was encouraged as the most efficient aid to commerce. Thus, it gradually be came a substitute for land transportation, where- > ever it was practicable. The caravans were not, indeed, discontinued Irom central Asia to Pales tine, and Asia Minor and Egypt, for centuries af ter Solomon; but in ail places on the seacoasts, they were superseded by navigation ; and the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea, and the Mediterrane an where then traversed for the purposes ol trade. It is true that the principal ooject of naviga tion, in the early j-eriods of the world, was wealth. , But the spirit which .td men to adopt and pursue it, was indicative at once of enterprise and o} tu- ; riosity. And the active, adventurous merchant, | was usually a friend of science, and a patron of j the useful arts. He was eager lo acquire a knowl edge of the tliscoveiies of other nations, and to ! communicate it to his own countrymen. lor commerce tends to enlarge and liberalize lire hu man mind ; and those who pursue it are usually munificent encouragers of learning. Wherever j commerce exists ine arts of civilization arc known and cultivated; and refinement, literature, and science are seen to follow.* Leonard!, an end- \ nent merchant of Pisa, in the beginning of the tenth century, brought the knowledge ol algebra from Arabia, which he h id visited for the sake of trade. It is supposed he traveled cast or northeast of Arabia, whence the people of the latter coun try might have received that science. Bui wheth er tney derived it from Chaldea, or from Greece, | assume suppose, is not material in the view hi re taken of the subject. It was nut received in Italy and the west directly from Greece; and it i; pro bable that, although the Greeks hud a knowledge of geometry long before this period, they were not the first people who were acquainted with alge bra ; but that it originated in Arabia, or in India, whence it was early conveyed to the Arabians. Nations which have bad no foreign commerce, j have usually made slow advances in science and he arts. The Romans were live hundred years , without commerce, except to a very limited ex tent, and on a small scale. Except their neces sary attention lo agriculture, war was their em ploy merit and their trade. And though this may polish men's deportment in some measures, it nas far less tendency to improve or civilize than a •omrneicial intercourse with foreign countries, j The most savage and barbarous nations may be ibic warriors, while they make no progress in literature or the aits of civilized society. The pursuits of cummer, c on,y will raise them from their uncivilized condition. When Mexico was invaded and conquered by Coriez, near the beginning of the sixteenth cen- ! tury, though the population was great, and the inhabitants in some respects inventive, they were ignorant of many important discoveries which ■ lad been made in Europe fur five hundred and a thousand years. Their ancestors had probably emigrated from . the north-east of Asia, tu the north-western part >f America several centuries before the Chris tian era. and from a people far Ess enlightened t than some nations were, even at that pci sod, in ( the west of Asia and in Europe. After passing i >ver to this continent, they spread Ur and wide chielly to the south and east, lor a more genial 1 1 climate; and they or their descendants succes- | i siveiy, passed through parts of the present terri- , j tory of the United States, on their way to Mexi- t I jo, leaving a portion behind on the lands they ! traversed. They would have been far more ad- : vanccd in the arts of life and in science, when | visited by that conqucrer in 1520, had they pur- j •mod the business of commerce with distant coun tries. ; The Chinese have been somewhat above a ; savage and barbarous condition ever since known Hid visited by Europeans, which is more than j t three hundred years; but their secluded stale, and , an aversion to intercourse \v ith other nations, have I ■ no doubt prevented their making any advances in ! § science or civilization for many centuries. They 1 1 are probably descendants from the posterity of j . She/ii , and carried with them to China the knowl- j edge possessed by those inhabiting central Asia,; five hundred years or more from ihe deluge. But ! their want of enterprise for foreign adventure ’ J and trade, has been an entire obstacle to their , making such progress a* many other nations j | have done, in which a portion of the people were ; engaged in commerce. And navigation having * in a great measure superseded land conveyance | between distant countries, where this is not en- * couraged, commerce is necessarily cramped and i I unprofitable. I s The Phoenicians, one of the earliest people do- | 1 • oted to commerce and navigation, probably car- i i ried the knowledge ot letters into Greece before j j any inquisitive individuals of that country vi-ileu j j Egypt for the purpose of discoveries in science | or literature. The Phoenicians were engaged in ' commerce and navigation as early as the lime of c Moses, perhaps at a more early period. And when Joshua settled his countrymen in Canaan * “.Commerce,” says Dr. Belknap,“is one of the 8 most powerful causes which have contributed to enlarge the sphere of science; because it is stimu- s latcd by one of the most active principles of tho human mind. 1 ’ And it is from a fortunate mer- c chant and mathematician of Florence that America derives its name ; though, in justice, it should have borne that of,a s ill more-jUdveotuiouß, sad »p.ra Jy * intelligent Individual, many of the original inhabitants fled by ?ea to J distant places in the Mediterranean. 'The chief | object of the Phoenician navigators was weal:?.; j but they were also patrons of the arts of civiii- 1 zaiion, end encouraged the propagation of useful | knowledge, and the physical sciences, from the east to tho then more ignorant and barbarous i west. To an extensive and prosperous commerce,, Gres.; Britain owes more for its wealth and civil ization, than to any oilier cause. And, that her commerce with other nations is owing to her use of navigation, anti the employment of her own citizens in pursuing it cannot be justly doubted. Had it been the policy of her ruters for five hun dred years past, to discourage commercial pur suits, and to have no more trade than depended on the efforts and enterprise of other countries—- had her citizens retired from the ocean and left the carrying trade lo others, or shut themselves uti from the rest of the world, their condition would have been far less elevated and glorious than it now is. If the first settlers of Virginia, Massachusetts, New York, Maryl, ml, ike., had been content to confine themselves entirely to the cultivation of the soil, and to a few mechanic ai ts, necessary to subsistence, and had their descendants adopt ed the same narrow policy, and desisted wholly from navigation, and from trade with Europe, the condition of this country, and the character of the people, would have been far inferior in civ ilization and literature than it is at present. If we look far back into remote ages, we shall find that the nations then existing, which had intercourse with one another for tiie purpose of trade, whether by iand or water, were among tiie first who became distinguished for science and letters. Thus we find Chaldea and tiie Hither India, Arabia, Egypt, and Phoenica, very early enjoyed a great degree of civilization, and had n knowledge ol many useful arts, when the rest of the world was in a rude barbarous state. It Greece was not early engaged in trade by na’. i gation, it is evident that the merchants of the east visited that country, and carried thither the elements of science, then cultivated in Asia.— In the lime of Alfred, (850,) Britain had very little commerce, and the people were in a deplor able stale of ignorance and barbarism. Edward 1., in the thirteenth century, encouraged com merce, and learning soon followed. Prom the tenth century, many nations of Europe advanced in knowledge and civilization, and wealth ; «nu this improvement matr be justly attributed lo trade and commerce, more than any other cause; though the crusades to the holy lanu by Euro peans, led indirectly to the dissemination of lit erature and science in the western part of the old continent, Thus it will be found that the first and greatest advances were made in maritime towns and their vicinity. Venice was early a place of trade, and its en terprising merchants contributed greatly to the civilization and learning of Europe. They w ore considered as “citizens of the world,” on account of their commercial enterprises; for they thus became more liberal in th« ir view’s, and more courteous in their manners. At Genoa, tho birth place of Columbus, navigation and trade early flourished. Vienna soon after became a place of trade, of letters, and of the arts, and thence civ ilization and learnig extended to the more north ern parte of Germany. At e more remote period. Marseilles was a mart of foreign commerce. Jt was early visited by the merchants of Tyre and Sfidun ; and in its vicinity probably was situated the ancient Tar sbifeh, if, indeed it were not the same. The Saracens also, w ho conquered Spain, con veyed the knowledge of aritnmetic, astronomy, and algebra, to that country from Arabia; but it was not their disposition or object lo disseminate either art or science for the benefit of other na tions. They were warriors, and promoters of the Moi.amodan faith, rather than merchant* or pat rons of civilization and science. We are fullv justified, then, in asserting the connection between commerce ami letters, the favorable influence of the former on the latter, and in urging upon the attention of our citizens the consideration of the vas; and various benefits of trade with foreign nations. The people of ihc L uited States are of an enterprising and inven tive spirit. They have made great improvements in the useful arts, and in the mode of education, which people of the old contine.it may do well to imitate. And the latter have and will learn much ol the former in future period*. But Eu rope is not stationary. L contains numerous in dividuals who aro the most scientific and learn-; cd character* in the world; and we should not > he ashamed to learn of them, nor confess our ob ligations to then for a great portion of the science and literature of our young, but rising country. And without commercial intercourse with Eu rope, not only the means of wealth, but of scien tific and literary progress in America, would be in a great measure diminished.
