Id our paper to-day will be found « few ex tract! from Gen. Clinch’s reply to Gov. Call, which appeared in the last Jacksonville Courier. We repet that we have not room to publish it entire;'as it is however, we doubt not that the extracts Which we make are sufficient to satisfy ever* unprejudiced mind of the propriety of Gen. Clinch’s conduct at the Battle of Withlacoochee- In Qjro.SClinch’s brief introduction to these pa pers be sets foilh the principal charges preferred again* him by Gov. Call, and we are content to Icave the public to determine how far they are sustained or refuted by the letters and ccrtilicales which follow. In our opinion, no man who ever sought to rob.anolher of his hard-earned fame, and to en circle his own brow with the laurels of another, ewer met with a more complete overthrow. How must be that man’s reflections, who, to ruin the reputation of a brave generous cotemporary, in the vain hope of trecning his own pitiable conduct from public m- JigWition, finds himself at length unmasked, and bi^meah' inventions disproved, as in this case, by the best of evidence.

'h Death of Jcdok McNaiiit «e Tennessee- By a slip from Nashville we learn that this old and valued citizen, for many years a distinguish ed Judge of the Circuit Court of the United Stales for the District of Tennessee, expired at his residence near Nashville on Friday of jlast .wcckj’Jagcd 75 years. The deceased had presi ded for the extraordinary term of forty, fix years 'in the State and Federal court*, distinguishing hi» whole judicial service by a disregard of per .ions and parties, and an unwavering devotion to truth and justice. The/ily council of Augusts, some time since, appoprted a committee for the purpose of memo, t.alising the legislature or the subject of erecting prolate Arsenal in our city. We publish to-day,a ‘memorial which will he presented to our citizens 'for their signatures; and we deem it unnecessary *to urge them to comply with the request of the ‘council, as the object is one which speaks directly to every citizen. The commiitee requests that 'the other city papers will publish it, for the pur pose of giving every individual an opportunity of becoming acquainted with its object previous to its being presented for signatures, as it will save the committee much time that would otherwise be taken up in explanations, &c. PETITION. To the Honrable, the President and Members of the Senate, and the Speaker and members of the House ol Representatives of the General As sembly of Georgia. This memorial of the undersigned citizens of Augusta end the vicinity, respectfully shewelh: That yotlr memorialists have long felt and re gretted the exposed and dangerous condition of the city of Augusta in case of any sudden tumult end disorder, for want of the ordinary and neces sary means,of self-protection.—Destitute, as it is es public arms, or a place of common shelter and defence, to which the helpless may resort, while Ibeir natural protectors unite and act wherever danger may present itself, and which they cannot he expected to do, till they have obtained that .comma*shelter and defence for the former. The United States Arsenal may, without reflection, be considered by some, as incapable of doing so, from its distance in case of sudden and unforeseen emergency. Situated at least three miles from Xbe .city,arms could not be obtained from it, under somecirqunstances, till the evils to be apprehend ed from % want of them, might be mainly aflectcd; anil defenceless, as it often is, from the occa sional withdrawal of the troops from it to act in other quarters whorejtbeir services are imperiously demanded, it may be surprised and made subser vient to our great injury rather than benefit. The disorganized and disreputable condition of the militia of lbe city, it is believed,cannot/c mate rially remedied,without supplyingiit with arms & accoutrements, on days of muster, for its proper ||Mifenent and instruction in the use of them. TktUtrdinary fowling piece is so little used by thiftiabiunU of a city that it is exceedingly dif ticfwKbr each militiaman to procure one, of any the purpose of muster, to say nothing of Hppneral unfitness for such purposes, and en tire Incapacity to serve them all; and, the rusty, bmi|*n and useless condition in which they are piekinl up here and there, for such occasions re prwptt all pride, interest or care in other respects, •llfpfi the foundation of that general negligence. disregard for appearances, and disgust ot duty, which renders the militia, (that most important and essential mean of public freedom, safely and order,) a disgrace and a nuisance, as it is, rather than a cherished object of interest and pride.— Your memorialists fully believe, that the most ef ficient means of remedying these defects, is the establishment of a slate arsenal in this city, with a suitable supply ol public arms, accoutrements &c., by which the female, infant and other li Ip lees portion of our population may obtain com mon shelter and security in case of danger; and the citizens, suitable arms and equipments for oc casions of militia discipline and public defence, similar to the plan at present adopted in Savanna and other cities. We feel that the citizens Augusta aro not alone interested in this matter. Such an establishment cannot fail to ho of essen tial benefit to them as it will be situated at the head of steam boat navigation, and on the line of an extensive rail road communication from the sea board to the interiors,Jin various dircction and will furnish the statu with a depot for arms forge. neral purposes. The planters, who always have large quantities of produce stord in our city, aro deeply interested, as well as all who are more or less connected with our commercial institutions. Your Memoralists therefore respectfully pray that a suitable sum may be appropriated for the erection of a State Arsenal within this city, and provisions made for supplying it with public arms and acoountermenls when completed.— I’he whole to he under the immediate care of the City council of Augusta,who shdll be requited to quar ter the city night watch in it, and appoint'd kee per for the purpose of keeping in order and deliver ing ar.d receiving arms &c. when required for militia’parades and other purposes—and, as in duly bound, they will ever cherish a grateful re membrance of your kind solicitude for their wcl. fare and safety.

By a slip from the office of the St. Louis Repub. lican, we learn with deep regret that the Rev. E. p. Lovejoy whose incendiary course on the aboli tion question has enraged the people ot Alton against Him, met the martyrdom he lias long been courting, oh the night ,ol the 7lh inst. Iwice within ihe last year the means for doing mis chief had lieen token from him by the citizens, and he had escaped personal injury; but on the third attempt to establish Ihe "Observer” in de-? feuding flis properly, he lost his life! As f/iends to good order, and the supremacy of the laws, we most sincerely regret the fatal catastrophe;for however opposed we may be to the vile, dastardly attempts of the Abolitionists to sow discard and rebellion in out country, we desire to see hb pun (aliment inflicted but under the sanction of law. The fate of Lovejoy mny deter others of his parly from following in his footsteps—but if we entertain a correct opinion of the ringleaders of Abolitionism, it will only instigate them to new exertions in tlieir unholy cause. D. L. CLINCH TO THE PEOPLE OF , FLORIDA. St. Mary’s, Geo. Ist.: Oct. 1837. lam induced, from a very high respect'tfior, the opinion of the people of Florida, to sub ; mil to their calm consideration, the following ■ letters, extracts of letters, and certificates, in , refutation of a malicious and vindictive tirade, which appeared over the signature ot R. K. ' Call in the Floridian of the 22d of July last. By the testimony here adduced, it will be , seen how far Gov. Call, is sustained in his statements tj-c. Thai I exposed the regulars unnecessarily , by fighting with them in double 1 ranks—that I neglected the wounded—was t 1 much alarmed myself—that Ihe volunteers t could nut cross ihe river—and that He came, like a protecting angel to the rescue of our UUle band—that it was His General-ship and ’ bravery that covered the troops whilst recrossing the river, and that He Achilles like, shielded , r and sitved them from destruction.

M. ) 1 Fort Mills, Jacksonville, Feb. 14,1836. $ Dear Sir: —“Every officer and soldier in my Regiment will make oath, that they were , not permitted to cross after the action began, . (that is, those who remained on the East sido of the liver.”) I am Dear Sir, with great respect, JOHN WARREN, Col. 4th Regt. Florida Militia. Gen. D. L. Clinch, Fort Drane. Fort Peyton, 23 Aag. 1836. My Dear General:— l have received your ' fouer ot the sth inst. some days since, but owing to my absence on duly, South of St. . Augustine, I have not been able to answer it; r umT am unable at this time to reply to your | inquiries ns fully as I could wish not hairing my journal with me. I entered the service in 1812, and served ! in various capacities in the late War, with * England; and was in several engagements and many picket affaire.—l commanded my ’ company during the engagement which took 3 between the troops under your command, and ' the Seminole Indians on the Ouilblacoochee, i. ou the 21st December 1835. I believe the i, first Indian rifle was fired on the South banks of the river, and was fired at the Regular troops. 1 think Capt. Wirt.Or.iliam’s Com pany, and either a man was killed or wound ed—the fire was returned by Capt, C. Mel lon, who tired the first musket that day, Lieut. Col. Fanning did order a charge to bo made, before you reached the troops, but was prevented from carrying the charge fully into effect owing to the four centre companies of the line, having been unfortunately formed in double ranks, however, when the troops ad vanced to the charge.it was found that the lire of the Indians, was so unaccountably de structive that it caused some confusion in the ranks. It was at this stage of the action that you reached the troops and immediately ordered them to ex end from the centre lo the right and left in single file and charge the enemy. The order was promptly obeyed. While the troops wore advancing, a large bo dy of Indians were seen advancing from the left of the swamp, evidently w.th the intention of turning our right flank and gaining our roar. Capt. C. Mellon and Capt. L. Gates, with their companies were ordered lo charge them, wnich was promptly done, and drove the Indians back in the Swamp. As a large portion of the Jtroops entered the swamp, it was discovered that the Indians again made their appearance on the right, in a small scrub, when they were again charged by Capt. Mellon’s company and driven out in great confusion. You did not dismount from your horse until he was so badly wounded as to be unable to carry you, and while you were dismounted you continued to encourage the troops lo bo firm.—l heard you repeatedly call out to the men lo be firm, that you Were determined to win the battle, or die,oh the field; that you would shoot down any man you saw fall back.—You were, from tlie time -you first reached the troops, constantly exposed and near the line, passing from one part of the tine to the other.—As soon as a fresh horse was brought, you immediately mounted and I did notsec you dismount again while on the south bank of the river. After the Indians were completely routed and beaten, and the firing had entirely ceased, you ordered the killed and wounded lo be collected and sent to the river and taken on tlie opposite bank: you then directed a new line to bo formed, which movement was executed in good order and promptly.—My position m the line was in the centre of the line of Regular troops. Sometime alter the new line was formed you came to me and informed me that the troops would cross tlie river by companies, alternate ly from the ri.ht to left, and that my company would be tlie last to cross and that it would form the rear guard, to protect the troops while crossing the river. You remained with mo on horseback sometime. When I reach > ed the river with my company which 1 be licvo wus the last lo cross and arrived at the bridge,! found Lieut. Col. Mills and some volunteers crossing; Col. Mills was standing on a rock on the south side of the river, I be lieve holding on to the canoe to steady it, it formed a.part of the bridge, and lie was tlie last man to cross over. When 1 reached the north bank of the river, 1 found you' there on horseback. You directed mo to remain at the bridge until the whole of the troops had filed out of the hammock, to bring up the rear,and see that no men were left behind. When 1 marched out of the hammock, 1 there found you. During that hard fought battle you were frequently near me, and ! hud u fair opportu nity of witnessing your conduct during the , action and afterwards, and I take pleasufo in saying your conduct was marked by great coolness and distinguished bravery,—and , your conduct that .(Jay mainly contributed to our final success. Ido not recollect feeding Gob. Call, on the field of battle until the firing had ceased—at the time we were collecting the dead and wounded; he remained on the i field a few minutes and then retired - The conduct of the regular troops and vol unteers, who fought the battle ot the Ouithla coochee, displayed great firmness and braverv, : and I believe if the whole of the volunteers , under Gen. Call, could have reached the field i of battle, the Seminole war would have been [ closed on that day. The firing was continuous ■ from the commencement to the close ol the I, action. I am very truly your friend, \ G. S. DRANE. , , i Capt. ‘Zd Artillery. . Gen. D. L. Clinch. Alleghany Arsenal, Pa,') Ang. 23d, 1837. £ 1 My Dear General :—l have just received your letter of the sih inst. from St. Mary’s - and w.ll with great pleasure in answer to t your queries, narrate such facts us came un ■ der my observation appertaining to the en gagement between tlie troops under your command and the Seminole Indians, oa the i SOlli December, 1835. , In this affair I commanded a company ol i which there were about thirty-men in tlie uc : tton. After the battalion had crossed the Withla : coocliee. it was formed in order of battle about . 300 yards from the river at right angles with . it and about 150 yards from the hammock in i front, the men were then suffered to rest up on their ground: previously however, senti i nels had been carefully posted in almost eve ry direction. We remained here sometime wailing as wc all thougt for the Volunteers to cross and join us. I obtained perrnsision to.go down to the river to see, the horses swim over, while there a messenger arrived from the battalion giving inform itmn of the approach of the In diaos. At this time I saw you busily engaged superintending the construction of the bridge. I immediately ran with all speed to Join (lie battalion, when I heard some Indian riflos ; but my position was such that 1 could nut know against whom they were directed, nor can I for the same reason say who first retur ned the fire; before I reached the battalion, it had conmienced firihgon the Indians. 1 im mediately gained my company occupying the centre of the battalion, and soon afterwards I saw you near me in command. , At this pe riod the battalion was in line formed as heavy Infantry. You ordered the battal on to be extended from tlie left flank, and to charge Ihe enemy.—lt was accordingly after some little delay, put in extended order. About this time a most annoying attack was made upon the right flank by a large body of Indi ans. You ordered the two right companies lo be detached and charge those Indians, which was done in handsome style. The enemy fled immediately—after winch wc were no longer troubled from that quarter. 'Flic two companies rejoincdlthc battalion, and the order was then to charge tlie main body of the enemy in front.—You dismounted from your horse which had then received two wounds and walked in front of the oaltalion, and deliberately and thinly encouraged the men lo charge the enemy.—You said my brave fellows I am ready to die with you, I and that it should either be death or victory, or words to that effect. After this address 1 could plainly see in the countenances ofthosc near me, a more determined resolution. The word was given to charge, and a more 1 spirited and gallant charge could not liavo ’ been made.—ln the early part ol Iho action, I received a wound which fractured my jaw I bone, you being near me fold mu that I up i peart'd to bo severely wounded and that I had 1 better go to th« rear. Ucforr tlie Hat charge r was n ode upon the enemy, I had received - another severe wound in tlie hip, and could - not keep up with my men as they advanced • very rapidly. This.was a few minutes before the conclusion of tlie fight. I saw several a wounded men a shorudistanco oft’, and tleler t mined lo join them. On my arrival there, .1 / found Gov. Call. This is the only time I ) saw the Governor on the south side ot the 1 river. In a few minutes 1 went under the hill • whore the surgeons and wounded men were, ) and had my wounds attended to. After I had ■ been there a short time and after the enemy i had been completely Hogged and routed, you i came down to look alter the wounded I pre f sume, for yon made enquiries after thorn, and 3 gave those who were debilitated from loss of 3 blood something from your flask. I suppose 1 • remained about an hour on the south side of the - river,after all the firing had ceased;! then cross -3 ed the river on the bridge carrying with me 3 my gun. sword and pistols—ln crossing 1 had r some assistance from a man who was with , rao. After crossing the river I walked some 3 distance without assistance, I know of no 3 attention 'that could have been rendered me 3 or any other wounded person under such cu t curastances which we did not receive. Nei s ther Maj. Graham, Lieut. Ridgley nor myself, 1 nor any body else on the north sido of the / river, was exposed to the fire of the enemy t while I was on that side of the river, fur I be -3 lievo no enemy was .within half a mile of us, s corlqinjy not a shof,. that I have known or 3 heard of, was fired at any .onp .on that side 3 while I was there, and it is equafty certain that I qo gun was discharged by any one there. 3 The Indians had been completely flogged and 3' driven oft’ by the forpe on the south sido of 3 the river and all firing had ceased. i You were frequently in my immediate! vi -1 cinity, and during the hotest part of [lie fight 3 I had a good opportunity of observing that the 3 cool and fearless manner»,the gallant bearing I and the encouraging language you addressed 3 to the men,produced the most inspiring effect. 3 1 had likewise an opportunity of observing 3 the most benevolent attentions which you paid 3 to the wounded after tlieir return to Fort I Drane. Both officers and privates received : from your personal attentions every comfort i in your power Ur bestow, r ' lam with great respect, 3 Your Obd't Serv’f, CAMPBELL GRAHAM, i Brv’t. Copt.

General: —Yours Os tire sth, of August j was forwarded to ms at tills place, and 1 has. ten to give you a statement of what happen | ed under rny observation, with regard to tlie \ points mentioned, j 1 volunteered fur the expedition and at the ‘ battle of ihe Withlacoochee, I acted as adju \ t int to the ballallion of regulars under Col. t Fanning. I have repeatedly heard the late . Capt. Mellon, say that he fired upon a num ; her of Indians pppr-mcliing through the ’ swnnVp toward the front of the battalion, and , that the fire was immediately returned by j them, that being the commencement of the j battle: and did nek,.hear that an Indian rifle I was fired, until some time aftof, except in j front of the; regulars. The battalion at the time of your joining it, was covering itself while loading by the un ~B dergrowlh, and spiritedly returning lire fire ' of the enemy. Your first directions f wellore t member were, “extend and charge the enemy." I Before 'tlns could be done the Indians opened a fire on our right flank, covering themselves r by a black jack knowl and scrub. The late % Capt. Gates was ordered to disperse them, ’ and Capt. Mellon, to support him, extending f and covering themselves by tire scrub as much u as possible.' Immediately afterwards Capt. Graham was ordered to charge to the left. — The companies charged as directed, and I ' did not see them again until the new line was ’ formed, and I bel.eve you posted those cotn j patties in their newjposilton, whdo I was busi ly engaged in carrying oft’ the dead and II WcTSiuJed, durmg this my attention was call- od lay repeated exclamations of lire men, to a b)dy of Indians moving rapidly round our r.ghl flank into the swamp in front, d.iven back as wo supposed, by tire companies de tached from tire right. After the flank com panics had moved as directed, you dismouut . ed from your horse, then wounded, and pass ing round the left flank, walked deliberately afotur the front of the line addressing tire . men. , Your first words I shall never forget, utter* s ed amidst a storm of bullets, rapidly incrcas -0 ing as lire Indians discovered who you were, “ men 1 urn ready to die on the spot it noces ‘ sury hut not lo rotreat.” Alter encouraging r and animating the men you remounted and e ordered a charge lo the front, which was made and the Indians driven into the swamp. You ’ then formed a new line, posting several cum panics in person and repeatedly rode along . the line, while forming, and after it was L ' formed, encouraging lire men and telling ' them the Indians were “flogged.” 1 I cannot tell how long it was after the firing 11 ceased before you left'the hire, but it was only ’’ a short time.before lire regulars commenced recVofc&ing tlie river. During the whole lime 1 saw you repeatedly, and you displayed the utmost coolness and bravery. 1 did nut see • Gen.

Cannon Itaa the effrontery to address tho public in vindication of an act committed hy him, which is rr-(farcied by the laws, . ol his country as theft, hy instituting elkirges affisUist mo htcjpvaiif to the mallet in dispute, and wholly untrue in fact. I will hrielly detail,, the facts as they occurred, anil leave tho public to draw their ow n hiferpnee. , An agreement was entered' into between Simeon K’Cannon and myself, for the keeping of two horses and liic b.ardmg of two drivers, at thirty six dollars per month. At the time the difficulties (alluded lo in his address) peem red on the line, I was indebted to Sinlc6Vi lb Cannon for four months stabling and hoard, in the sum, of one hundred and forty four dollars, and wrote to him to take tare of tho horses until my arrival,, when I would pay him his demand, hut Itcdden J, Cannon, regardless of these assurance to his father, and without any authorilyfrom any per on empowered lo dispose of the properly, together with the driver Wilson, took the two horses send ing at his fathers, and two kept at Minim's, the four valued at live hundred and lifiy dollars, car ricil them through tho lower part of South Ctiro-, Una offering thernioe Sale, and actually did sell them, falsely aveting, that he had pareha ed (hem from a North Carolina Wagoner, ■ Now, Was it not an unwarrantable, dishonest act, thus tc lake* properly secretly and at night convey it to a dis tance, anti, under an assumed fictitious name, represent it as l.is own, dispose, c! it as such, and appropriate the proceeds-lo tils own use ? ' By: what other and lucre appropriate name shall 1 designate it, than hy lhalol (bet.} which, il I am rightly informed, is the felonious taking and fJr rying away the personal goods of another. The taking and carrying away he udmi s, and the, secret manner in which it was done, tils a taunting a fictitious name together With other circumstan ces fix the felonious intent ifpdn him. II he hud demands against rne, why did he not appeal 10. the laws of the country which have doubtlessly , fully provided for such cases T Tho legal remedy r of allachnVent was open lo him ; why did ho r.ol' avail himself of it 1 ' Tho reason is evident. Ho thought, that amidst tho general scramble for the. property of Mr. Longstrect, he could with impu nity, under the plea of securing a debt, steal away . my properly, dispose of it, pocket the proceeds, and being an irresponsible person in point of pe cuniary liahlilily, set mo at defiance. Wilson, the driver, for whom litis honest gnu tleman puts up so doleful a lamentation, is a bird of the same feather. He bad defrauded mu ol more than sixty dollars, and being detected, to quiet the matter, gave me his promissory notes for the amount thus dishonestly appropiated hy him, which I now hold. Tho statement that I left the city of Augusta secretly, lo avoid the up-, plications of creditors, and that' f concealed iny ( self in the slug* coach at stopping places for a like purpose, is abate and tvanlun fabrication. I loft Augusta in the public mail coach, in (ho open day, and sought no concealment. Uut these falsehoods arc no doubt,derived from the veritable, honest Mr. Wilson, the friend and accomplice in his villainy, lo whose assertions, from the infamy of his character, no credit is to (re given He further says, that ‘-there was no alternative lo secure payment for cervices as driver, and lor board and horse feed, hut to seize on properly 1 which executions had not yet found', and which, I had not yet seen-” I’was nut aware that there were any executions or even judgments against moor Longstrcet iu South Carolina, nor do-1 now know that there are any i hut, I certainly known to the contrary, artd so d ies he. Uut this is only a plea whicbjlic now resorts to, lo scrcene himself from (ho odium w hich his nefarious con duct necessarily brings upon him. Bui, it will avail him little, when Ihe facts ate spread before the tribunal at which ho may he arraigned lo ans wer for his violation of lire known laws of his I country.; there if he prove himself guiltless, let him do it ; a public gazelle is not tho proper plico for such a discussion, and therefore 1 shall notice him in Ihjs manner no further, 1 " In relation to the threat of personal chastise ment with which he concludes his budget of lies, 1 have only to say, that lime and place often make cowunli hold. f -id.
