Philips’ Foundry.
We were much pleased with our visit yester
day to Mr. Robert Philip,s Brass and Iron Foun
dry, now in successful operation in our city. The
times have been so dull with us for some lime
past, that we thought if we were idle, no one else
could be at work, but we must acknowlogde our
agreeable disappointment on entering his lot, for
there \vc saw as it were, a little world to itself,
and every one busily engaged at the drfferent
branches of business carried on in his establish
ment. First the Blacksmith shop, where the
hands were hard at work in making the different
tools used in the establishment; then the machine
shops, in which the different agricultural imple
ments commonly used, are manufactured by
wholesale; then his little steam mill, which is
the grand lover to his whole establishment; for
in addition to the corn it grinds, is it intimately
connected with his foundry, working the different
lathes, by which are, turned the iron and wood
works manufactured by him; it is also connected
with his furnace and furnishes the blast that is
required to melt the iron.
The castings done at this foundry will bear a
comparison with any wc have seen brought from
the north, both as regards firmness and surface, and
wc are glad to learn that his business in this lino
is on the increase. Ho is engaged at present, on
several heavy pieces, for steamboats, and the rail
roads in our vicinity, and is now prepared to exe
cute the heaviest pieces of casting—the one wc
taw cast yesterday will weigh about one thousand
pounds. Mr. Philips deserves much credit for
his industry and enterprise, and wo hope to sec
him liberally encouraged.— Constitutionalist of
Saturday.
The following is an extract of a letter received
from C'apt. Sisson, of the schooner Exit, dated.
“BALTIMORE, July 2, 1838.
“To the Editor of the Georgian;
“The day after leaving Charleston at 12 M. be
ing about 10 miles leeward from the place where
the ill fated Pulaski sunk, saw a number of pieces
of her, but all small, and painted, a part of a table
and a quantity of lightwood floating on the water.
The fragments were all much rubbed, and doubt
less went down with her, and have since been
washed from the main wreck, as the prevailing
winds had drifted all those on shore which float
ed when her boiler burst. I did not pick up any
of the fragments as the wind was blowing a mod
erate gale from south, and the Exit sailing 18. E.
by E. eleven knots per hour at the time. I saw
fragments for about two hours on the coast, or
about 22 miles sail from the time I saw the first
to the last. Yours respectfully.

L Wc have been politely favored by Col. A'into
1 with the following official report of the recen
battle with the Indians near IMewtmnsvillc ;
Fort Gillelanu, Newnansville, ?
Juno 80th, Is:J8. 5
Colonel :—I left this post on the 17th inst
with a command consisting of Ist Lieut. How
1 and thirty dragoons; intending to reconnoitre tin
large prarios lying immediately south of this, am
then to proceed towards the Wa ka-sa sa ponds
where I had been informed, recent signs oflndi
ans had been seen.
Captain \V alker and Mr. E, Knight of New
nansville, accompanied mo as guides, also an In
dian negro, Sandy, was with me in the same ca
pacil).
Boon after entering on the Ke-nof-pa haw prai
rie, Sandy, who had left me a few moments, re
turned at full speed, and reported that he had dis
covered a body of Indians encamped on the point
of a largo hammock jutting into the prairie; I im
mediately proceeded with him and the guides, and
examined the situation of the camp, which 1 was
enabled to do, without being discovered, from an
insolatcd grove of timber, directly in front of their
encampment, and a half mile distant.
The guides told me that the position occupied
by the Indians, could only be approached in two
directions; one by a strip of land leading from
where wc stood to the point—the other by a very
circuitous route through a large hammock; upon
this information I placed twelve men under
Lieut, How, with instructions to conceal himself
in front of the grove, and to make a dash at the
encampment as soon ns he should hear the first
lire.
I caused the remaining eighteen men to dis
mount and tie their horses in the rear of the
grove.
We then proceeded with Oapiain Walker as
guide to gain the roar of the Indians, which we
did after a fatiguing march of about two miles,
not however, before they had taken the alarm
and gained trees, from which they opened upon
us a brisk fire; wc rushed forward immediately
and gave them a spirited lire in return; drove
them deep into the hammock—passed by fifteen
or twenty horses; and the body of an Indian,
(through which I made ono of the men pass his
bayonet.)
It was then reported to mo that Captain WaL
kcr (who was foremost in the light) had been
wounded. Upon reaching him, 1 found that his
wound was mortal, and that he was 100 far gone
to give me any instructions as to my position.
The Indians were then firing upon us from
right, left and centre, but with little effect, as my
men stuck close to their trees. About this lime,
Lieut. How made a rapid charge, and dislodged
them from my right, three of his men were shot
from their horses, his own horse shot from under
him, receiving two wounds, and the horse of one
ol the men was shot, also receiving two wounds.
Lieutenant How then bore olf his wounded, and
judging from the yell of the Indians, that they
were making for our horses, he removed them to
a more secure place.
Having lost my guide, and being encumbered
with the body of Captain Walker and three
wounded men, I hardly knew which way to turn,
still my men drove back the enemy the third
time—took possession of the horses, which wc
were obliged to abandon, having ted them into a
marsh, not in our proper direction. The firing
then ceased for an interval of twenty minutes, it
having beep continued on both sides for one hour
and three quarters.
Before discovering the way out of the ham
mock, which was by mete chance, my men boro
along the body of Captain Walker until they
dropped from (atiguc and exhaustion. As I left
the hammock, the Indians rallied and gave us
long shots, which wo were unable to return as
our ammunition was expended.
Wc conveyed our wounded (three ol C and
thice of F company,) that night to Fort Clark,
eight miles from the prairies, and returned early
next morning and brought off the body of Capt.
Walker.
In rcconnoitcring the ground, wc found seve
ral spots covered with dolled blood, and the body
of an Indian concealed between two logs and
covered with bushes.
Our spoils were three ponies and two rifles.—
From the number 1 saw running in the woods,
and the sine of the encampment, 1 suppose there
were about fifty Indians. I regret that the size
of my command prevented me from cllbcting
more. Os my own command I have nothing to
complain—of my guides, their conduct was all
that I could expect or wish. Owing to the skill
and prompt attention of Dr. Ilynn, I am happy
to report that my wounded are in a fairway of
recovery. I have the honor to ho, sir,
Your obedient servant,
L. J. BEALL, Capt. 2d Drag.
Colonel Haunet, 2d Dragoons.
P. S.—Since writing the foregoing report I
have been informed by Lieut. Hardin that the
bodies of two Indians were found by a company
of Dragoons from Micanopy, whilst scouring the
hammock where the engagement took place.

Money Market—City News.
Monday, P. M.
Hot and oppressive as the wcath-or is, and little
as people arc inclined to do business, yet on re
ference to the stock market it will be seen that a
lively spirit prevails, and large operations have
been made. The adjournment of Congress, and
the prospective resumption ol specie payments
by southern banks, gives people courage and con
fidence.
Three Banking Associations under the new
law, arc in rapid progress of organization. I'wo
arc nearly ready to go into operation. The third
is not quite so far advanced, hut equally certain
of success. They will all he managed by men
embracing all branches of business in tho city.
The grocers, dry goods men,mechanics, and capi
talists, will he fully represented. Tho projectors
appear disposed to lake up new men, and to avoid
those names that arc so universally known in all
the old monied concerns of the city. A new go.
neration of business men have sprung up within
the last ten. or fifteen years—men who have ac
quired propelty, and are known lor their fidelity,
skill and integrity. It is high lime that those
men should have the influence they dc -ctvo in
the money affairs of the city.
Domestic Exchanges are improving,—holders
of Southern Hank certificates sell only on abso
lu'e compulsion. Monied men are anxious to
invest in this description of paper.
Although many ol the banks gave out that all
new sound legitimate paper is die -tinted finely,—
such is not ihc fact, the best acceptance, (bat could
or can be made were thrown out to day at the

1 when the officer in the immediate command
b ordered, or shall order, the horse turned out to

cd, in the manner before mentioned, said pa
rent or guardian, shall bo allowed pay therefor
on making satisfactory proof as iu other cases,
and the further proof that he is entitled there
to, by having furnished the same.’’
A parent or guardian ol a deceased minor,
will therefore, in addition to such testimony
applicable to bis claim ns previously described,
have to liirnish prool that ho provided the mi
nor with the properly therein mentioned ; that
the minor died without paying for such prop
erly ; and that be, the parent or guardian is

or military accoutrements on himself, and the
same has been, or shall be lost, captured, or
destroyed, or abandoned in the manner before
mentioned, such owner rliu.ll bo allowed pay

er, therefore, will have to prove that bo did
provide the horse, equipments, or military ac
coutrements therein mentioned, and took the
risk thereof, on himself: and that lie is enti
tled to pay therefor, by having furnished the
same, and taken the risk thereof on biuinelf;
und tins prool should bo contained in a depo
sition ol the person who bud been so provided
by him with such horse, equipments or mili
tary accoutrements.
In no case can the production of the evi
dence, previously described, be dospensed
with, unless the impracticability of producing
I it bo clearly proved, and then the nearest and
best other evidence of which the case may be
susceptible must be furnished in lieu thereof.
Every claim must bo accompanied by a de
position of the claimant, declaring (but ho has
not received from any officer or agent of the I
United (States, any horse or horses, equippage j
arms, accoutrements, mule, wagon, cart, boat, I
