The schooner Abigal, arrived at New Or'eans. on the 241 h, from St. Jago do Cuba, and brings intelligence that two French steamers and a brig of war were in that port in quest of provisions.— These vessels arc part of the French force block | ading Mexico, and have on board scaling ladders and grappling hooks to be used in the assault ol the fort of St. J nan de Ulloa. The steamers and the brig left Su Jago some days before the Abigal. I I Health ol Charleston. The Board of Health report the deaths of 14 persons during the week ending the 25th instant —5 whites, and 9 blacks and colored—none by Stranger’s ’. or The Rancour of Tarry. If the frequency of repetition did not blunt the mscs, it would bo matter of astonishment to wit ire.v* the extent to which the ignorance and malev olence of blind partisanship will carry some men In a conspicuous part ol the Southern Spy, of Tuesday last, (Washington, Ga.) we find the following delectable morsel served up to the read ers of that paper. Wuio Gknealooy.— A correspondent of the Columbus Democrat, signing himself “an Old Citizensays: Modern Whig'sm is the sou of Federalism, which was the son ot old Revolutionary Toryism, which was the humble subject ot lus Britanie Majesty the King of England. “There lias been but four generations of that misguided and restless people, and it has been my misfortune to know and suiter by every family of M” them.” Now we have no idea that the Editor endorsed the above, o; believes it true or would even ap prove it, upon a “sober second thought.” 'J'lie writer of it wherever he may live, “ old” or . young, must be cither a knave or a fool, or both' Alex. Hamilton, and John Adams, wore both Federalists, and according to the above logic must have been Tories; yet the former was Gem Washington’s Aid-de-camp during a large portion of tlic revolutionary war, and fought by his side, and the latter was confessedly the ablest champion of American In dependence on the floor of Ihe continental Congress, and one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Nay, John Adams was one of three for whose heads the King of England offered a large, reward, and when he proclaimed a pardon to every man in America, if they would return to their allegiance, lie made an exception of the three above alluded to. Yet these men arc now stigmatized by the spirit of the modern Democracy us Tories! Nay further, Federalism, which this wiseacre denoun ces as “ the son if old revolutionary Tory ism,’’ was for a long time predominant in the politics ( l Massachusetts, in which State, to her eternal honor be it spoken, there were no Tories during the revolution. We might fill our columns with the names of good and patriotic men, who were Federalists, —men who after fightngfor American freedom, have filled the highest offices of their country, executive, judicial, and legislative, who Were Federalists. Peace bo to their ashes!— Honor to their memories, has been the universe* sentiment of a grateful people. It has been n* served for the spirit of modern Democracy, that p re and spotless party, to brand their charac ters with the foulest odium, as traitors to their country. We have not alluded to this small matter for the purpose of reproaching the Editor of the fSpy | but to rebuke the rabid spirit of party rancour as manifested in the article above, which is libel lousinlhc hut degree, and contains not a particle of wit to relieve its unqualifi: 1 falsehood.

But so far as regards the allusion to Mr. Barker, they believe lie was not thought of, as he certainly did not enter into the mini’s of the subscribers when the article was read by them. So far as regards the facts stated by “Augusta ” they are strictly true ; and if Mr. Bade or “ his friends” will state their reasons, for believing that lie was alluded to in the remarks of “Augusta,” they shall re -eivc, from the under sfcied, a satisfactory reply.

Communicated. The Millcdgovillu corfcspon lent of the Con stitutionalist under date of the 33d hist., in speak ing of the New-York Banking Law, says the subject was before the Convention which lately met there, and after much debate was properly lost by a large majority. The writer was either ignorant or knowingly misrepresented the facts— for the vote was 54 for and 55 against the measure. One delegate from this county who was in favor' declined voting, because his colleague who was against the measure had left for home. TRUTH. From the Okifinokce. The following is a copy of the letter of Getr Floyd, alluded to in our paper of yesterday ; Tb.uikb Hill, Nov 17. On the sth hist 1 left herewith only four com panies of my regiment, (one mounted and the rest on fool) for Fort Gilmer, on the Suwanee river, distant fifty-six miles, and arrived there on on tlie 6th. On the Till and Bth examined the country, and proposed to enter the Okifinokce, which is twenty-one miles from Fort Gilmer. On the 9th, having added one company of U. S. Dragoons, (dismounted) and two companies of volunteers to my small force, and stationed small detachments on the border of the Suwannee to prevent the escape of the enemy, I marched from Fort Gilmer for the Okclinokoe, on the eastern bank of the Siiwanee, and reached the edge of the swamp on the 10th, and on the same day built a picket fort for a depot for provisions, and called it. Fort Tatnall. On the 11th sent back to Fort Gilmer my baggage train, cavalry horses, tent and camp equippage, and leaving a lieutenant and lifteen men at Fort Tatnall, entered the Okiiino kee, and after marching about four miles (half the distance through muddy and dismal swamps) ar rived at an island called by the Indians Chepuclty. On this island is an old field and the remains of an Indian town called Chepaekytolnfu, which means Chepucky’s town. On (lie western edge of the island is a small lake, which 1 suppose to bo connected with the Siuwaiicc near its source. Built a fort on the island and called it •' Fort Walker,” in compliment to a gallant officer, i entered at the swamp at Fort Tatnall, on which is called the old Mickasuky trail, which was fol lowed by Oapt, Beale, last August, about three and a half miles into the swamp beyond Fort Walker. Being unprepared to go farther, he re turned back, having gone further into the swamp than any other white man up to that time. The trial followed by Capt. Beale, was supposed to lead to an island about the centre oftho swamp, cele brated in Indian tradition, and which I supposed to bo (if it existed) the head quarters of the enemy. Nov, 13th sent one hundred men with a guard to bring in our provisions from Fort Tat nall to Fort Walker on their shoulders, mid slung o',i poles, the trail being impassable to horses. This arduous duly was handsomely performed, 13th marched from the island with about 250 men, leaving a captain and twenty-nine men at Fort Walker. Our course was N. E. with very little variation for eight hours and a half through one of the most horrible swamps on the face of the earth. Below us was mud and water (some times nearly waist deep) and roots and logs, and above and round were briars, vines and bushes, 1 inning altogether obstacles that no language can accurately describe. Each man carried 5 days pro visions, nothing else save his arms <Sr. ammunition. In the evening, (having marched by our calcula tion twelve or fourteen miles from Fort Walk er,) wo emerged from the swamp and entered the island which we sought, never before beheld by the eyes of white man. It was, as I expected, the head-quaaters of the enemy. We found their camp and a town with comfor table houses, but the enemy had gone by their signs about two months ago. Encamped in a beautiful hammock of live oak and laurel trees, 14th, explored the island and burnt the Indian town. The island (which my officers have named Floyd’s Island, and by which name it will here after be known) is about 20 miles long, very high and shaped like a crescent, one end pointing to the west and the other to the, north, the concave side fronting N. W. On this side of the island is an extensive prairie, level as a lake, and covered with short grass, and adorned with beautiful isl ands from which (over the prairie) the woods on the border of the swamp may be seen about 20 miles distant to the S. W. aiid N. W. The Oke finokec, instead of being a barren waste, contains some of the best lands in Georgia. Floyd’s Isl and appears to divide the source of the Little St. Marys river from the Suwannee. Deer, bear, and turkeys are numerous on the island, and thousands of wild geese and ducks are on the prairies. In the deep swamps there is no sign of cither deer or other large animals, and but few birds arc seen. 15th. Sent one company back to fort Walker and marched early with the rest from the island, determined to force a passage if possible to the main land in aN. E, direction. For eleven and a half hours wc bogged through mud and water, sometimes entangled in vines, briars, and thickets, and sometimes in open ponds and prairies; at times wc were bewildered, our provisions were nearly exhausted and we were in a wilderness unknown to us; but I was determined not to turn back; so dreadful was the swamp over which wc had passed. Several times I sent men up trees to look out for land, for we felt as if we were on the ocean, and at last, near sunset we were rejoiced at seeing the green tops of pine trues over the gloomy cypress, about five miles distant. It was long after dark before we emerged ! from the swamp, and when we reached dry land, 1 we were the moat miserable creatures that ever I walked on two legi; wet, hungry, and nearly j dead from fatigue. On the march several men 1 were bogged so deep that it required two men to i pull th-'m out, and many on landing were without | pantaloons and shoes, these articles being torn oT i by briar-roots and quagmires I marched at the head ot the troops, currying my haversack of pro visions as a coin.non soldier, and suffered greatly; but it is n satisfaction to me to have performed what all other men have deemed impossible: to cross the Okcjinokee with an army. Our course was through the middle of the swamp, Irom 8. W. to N. I l ., —We came out about twelve miles north of Traders Hill. The last day s inarch is computed to be eighteen or twenty miles. Our discoveries in the swamp will be ot great utility—they w ill enable us hereafter to exclude the Indians from the Okelinokee, their hiding place for half a century, anil will open to the citizens of Georgia new sources of wealth in the rich lands of the swamp. To-morrow I shall march to Coxs Hammock on the west side ot the swamp, and commence operations at that point, intending to scour the western border of the swamp to Fort Gilmer. The departure of the Indians from Floyd's Island justifies a report in circulation about a month ago that they had gone to Western Florida. If unv Indians are in the swamp they do not exceed forty or fifty and arc on the western border of the Oke tinokoe. My intention is to search every place. I shall establish a strong fort on Floyd's Island and make a road to it from Fort Walker .suffi ciently good for pack horses. By holding the interior, the enemy will be forced to the border, where they can easily lie found. I have placed all the regulars in this part of Georgia under tuv command, and find them very efficient. The Nashville Whig, remarks upon the resig nation of Judge White as follows: “ This willingness on the part of Judge While, to abandon a commission which he has so long held with credit to hhnscll and the almost uni versal satisfaction of the people of Tennessee, has doubtless been induced by an impression that public duty demand.-, it at his hands; not from a disinclination to continue in the service of the State. The Governor, therefore, appreciating the findings of this worthy and venerable servant of the people, and knowing the general reluctance which would he felt liy his fellow-citizens to part with his services, (as well as entertaining the hope that his usual strength will soon he so far re stored as to enable him to resume his scat.) is unwilling under present circumstances, to accept his resignation ; and, wc understand, has so ad vised the Judge by letter. It is by no means important that Judge White should he present on the opening of the Session, or even for a low weeks thereafter, as it is not • probable the important business of thosession will ho reached before the Ist of January, and the other Senator of the State will he present in the interim, ready to give prompt attention to the local interests ot tinir common constituents; hut it is important that the State should continue in her services the talents, the stern integrity and com manding influence of such a man as Hugh 1,. AV bite, hi the present condition of onr national allairs—when bad men bear sway, and are aiming to usurp for the Executive, the powers and pat ■ ronage of the co-ordinate departments of the Gov . eminent, (lie States must be firmly and honestly I represented, or our glorious union will 101 l into » consolidation tivc-Ibld more overshadowing than ever a Jefterson struggled against, or a Hamilton 1 contemplated. We are aware that in such times, “ the past, of honor is the private station” hut the people of Tennessee, in consideration of tile “steady and continued confidence,” which Judge White so gratefully acknowledges in his letter to the Gov -1 ernor, have high claims upon experience and in fluence of tiieir thrice-honored Senator, if the • state of his health will possibly admit of the sacri i ficc.” From the S'. Louis Gazette, It )th inst. f nrnnai piuim the Moumons.— Thcaccount 1 of a bloody butchery of thirty-two Mormons, on tsplawns Creek, is fully confirmed. Two chil -1 dren were killed, we presume, by accident. Con siderable plunder—such as beds, hats, &c. were taken from the slaughtered. Not one of the as sailants was killed or hurt. About the time of the surrender, several Mor -1 mon houses were burnt in Chariton; and one Mormon who refused to leave, killed. At Fur West, after the surrender, a Mormon 1 had his brains dashed out, by a man who accused f the Mormon of burning his house in Dayiess. A KILL.

I'rcm the Mew York S in. limner Ixthiiistin > Discovehv.—The ex istence at some time of an animal on tliis conti nent, called the Mammoth or Mastodon, of a size superior to all known animals of the present day, has long bean admitted by naturalists, as the dis covery of bones and other relics place the mutter beyond doubt. The. generally received supposi tion lias been, wo believe, that those animals be came extinct from causes unknown, or existed contemporaneously with a race of men of whom the present generation have no knowledge. A correspondent of the HI. l.ouis, Mo. Hnllctin. describes a discovery of the bones of one of those animals in the situation which leaves no room to doubt that the huge beast was dispatched by the ludi ms with various missiles, and partly buried by them. The remains wer- first discovered by Mr. Walsh, a farmer in Gasconade county, who in digging about his spring, found, about live feet below the surface of the earth, a thigh and hip i bone. This led to- more exploration, and excava ■ tions were immediately commenced on a large scale in the vicinity of the spring, i The first layer of earth turned up was a vege table mould, next to this came a blue i lay, and • then sand and blue clay. Among this latter were large numbers of detached pieces of rock, weigh i lug from two to twenty-five pounds, of such foira and appearance that they had evidently been de f Inched from laiger rocks, are hauled or brought - to this spot. IS o other rocks or gravel arc found within twenty-live yards. Next to the sand clay r came a vegetable mould, and on the surface ol tliis was found an Indian spear, a bone and an axe, burned wood and crumble of bone, broken i spears, axes and knives. There were twenty i witnesses to this interesting exhumation, the re i suit ol 'which is summed up us follows in the Bt. r Louis Bulletin. • Fite car appeared to have been the largest on the head and neck of the animal, as the ashes and f coals wore much deeper here than in the rest ol > tin; body ; the skull was quite perfect, but so much burned that it crumbled to dust on the least touch, two feet from this was found two ter ■ h broken < (T from tin- jaw, but mashed entirely to pieces. Hy - putting them together, showed the animal to have e been much larger than any heretofore discovered. It appeared by the situation of the skeleton, that ; the animal had been sunk with its hind feet in the - mud and water, and unable to extricate itself, had t fallen on its right, side, and in that situation was found and killed as above described, consequently i the hind and fore foot on the right side were sunk t deeper in the mud, and thereby saved from the ef fects of the fire, therefore I was enabled to preserve i the whole of the hind foot to the very lost joint. 1 and the fore foot all but some few small bones - that were too decayed to he worth saving. Also - between thc t rocks that had nunk through the ashes - was found large pieces of skin, that appeared like - large pieces of fresh tanned sole leather, strongly ; impregnated with the lye from the ashes, and a - great many of the sinews and arteries were plain j to be seen on the earth and rooks, but in such a r state as not to be moved, excepting one small i piece, the size of a hand, which is now preserved in spirits.
