From the Hunton Courier, of June 21. RECONCILIATION WITH THC SOUTH. Souih-Garolina., Georgia and Massachusetts sat down' together jan Wednesday evening, in tite Old South Chapel, to a table of no ordina ry fare. The spirits drank on the occasion, were from the Champagne founts of Southern eloquence. The topics were Union, Educa tion and Religion. A number of gentlemen bad assembled by invitation, “to consider-the best means of promoting the moral and religions interests of the Southern States, especially, of the slave population.*’ Tito meeting was or pan’zed by the choice of Rev. B. B. Wisner as Chairman, and William G. Lambert, esq.! Secretary, and addresses were delivered by the Rev. Messrs. Chester and Davis, Agents of the [ Theological Seminary of the Synod of South I Carolina and Georgia, Col. Lumpkin of Gem- . gia, brother of the Governor, and by the Chairman and John Tappan, esq. At the close of the meeting, upwards of $2400 were j subscribed by the gentlemen present, to aid the i objects of the Theological School located at | Columbia, South-Carolina—thus affording a. substantial argument, that the people oi the; north are ready, on all proper occasions, to tes tify their attachment to their brethren at the . south. The remarks of our southern fi’tends, were 1 characterized by gentlemanly and Christian! feelings, aud we felt proud that we were teliow- Citizpws. - The Rev. Mr. Wisner, on a recent tour through the Southern Slates, had invited the government 'of the institution at Columbia, to test the feelings of New-England by au appeal , in behalf of their seminary. The Rev. Mr. Davis stated, that this was the first timo that -the people of his section of the country had crossed their waters for a simi lar object, and it would form an era in their an nals. . They wanted to educate their own sons on their own soil, for tho work oi the minis try—and why t Because they could endure the climate, and were acquainted'with the pe culiarities and idioms of the country, and be cause’(here was a prejudice against northern ministers, who could not have free access to the slave population. He alluded to the re cent attitude of South Carolina, that many of ‘ tho people thought New-England men were i only actuated by sordid interest, in their con- , nection.wiih the south, that we htid now an op port unify to falsify’ tho charge. This .was the . only Theological Institution, situated in a cli mate similar to that of the great field of missions in Southern Asia, &c. One student' born and ' cducateil at the south, would be of more v?due than tive from the temperate or northern re'<j {’ions, as a Missionary to Aft ica or Asin. , I Colonel Lumpkin, who spoke with much en-| thusiasm, stated, that bis clerical friends whom | be had accidentally met in this ci'y, had soli- , cited hint to address tho meeting; he did so, ' knowing-the responsibility he and his friends i assumed* in making this appeal. There were strong feelings at the south against the north, and he and others had striven to disabuse the public mind. Tim Union had been in danger, and this meeting formed a strange contrast to ‘be notcs.of defiance, which had iccently been sounded in his own state and the state of South- Carolina. Rev. Mr. Chester addressed the meeting ■ biiefly at. the close, remarking that the lime ; bad neatly- elapsed. which would prevent him I from saying what Im had intended—lie would simply call their attention to the precise object 1 of the meeting, i. e.' to procure funds to sup- ' port a Theological Professor at the Seminary. [ Rev. Mr. Wisner was exceedingly pertinent und happy in summing up the claims of the in- , btitution, phich he had personally examined, 1 and was ready to declare,as the ddibeiate con viction of ids understanding,, that there was not [ n more worthy and pressing object to be aided, , than the one now piesented. Mr. Tappan was-j willing to remain until midnight remarks upon this subject, but as the only difficulty was ;□ singling out motives, not in multiplying them, ho moved ‘that the meeting immediately pro ceed to the business of subscription. The meeting thus terminated, producing emotions of a pleasurable .cbuMcier—■tiiriniug.ji bright spot in our country’s history, and the in fluence we trtist will be felt in a more kind and fra.ernal feclihg among .the citizens of the A- Uierican Republic. ' C. C. - And the -A-th-ertisefsn<fPa- triot, of the 22d, con'ains the following remarks od the same subject. “We wish, to make one or two remarks on the gentlemanly and proper expressions used by Col. Lumpkin in reference to the state of feeling which has existed in certain portions of the South in Reference to the Northern states. It is undoubtedly true that efforts have been not unfreqoenily made by some leading individ uals at the South, probably for political purpos es, to excite an unfriendly feeling towards New-England; and it is-equally 'cei tain, that other persons, of high and libera! feeling of character, but less influenced by prejudice, have labored to counteract these effoits. It is on such persons, that we must rely to disabuse the minds of our Southern brethren. W’e are not aware of the existence of any corresponding feeling here. We believe that these gentle* men might traverse any or every portion i\’ow England, without hearing an expression, uttered in reference to his own State, which it ought to give him pain to hear.—Ho would (jud the policy of his State Government can vassed with freedom, and perhaps in some in stances, disapproved; but there is a wide differ ence between such comment, and the harshness expression, which can only spring f.om lo cal prejudice or personal antipathy; and we think, that we wmuld labor in vain tu find anv evidence of these'feelings among ’he people of New-England, lie would find them ieadv on till occasions to*hear testimony to the gener ous qualities of rtteir Southern brediren; and should any projeci'be suggested for the benefit —should any wide spreading Ctrl unity befall thein—he would find them not only readv, but solicitous, to atl<>rd the still stronger testimony of earnest and active etlmi to promote their in terest or relieve their suffering. It is time, in deed, for the persuasion to become- universal, that the interest of tho several, that portions of our great community are not so opposite, as sume would represent them; on the coutijary, we have up hesitation, in expressing!-tour r Con viction, that their real interest aid precisely! i the same; and that any evil which befaUsi I one," must be felt sooner or later and pet-' haps with equal severi'y by every other,— : You cannot strike one planet’ from the sphere, without distutbing the harmonious niu.liqn tho rest.

On the seaboard of one of the Southern 1 States, there lies a small village, pne of the old | esi daughters .of her parent stipe that was [ a port of entry in her colonial days, was burnt t in the war of the revolution, was rebuilt and 1 nearly swept away again by the hurricane of i 1804, but though the superstructure yielded to the elements its foundation of living green scarcely bears a trace of by gone injuries. It is now inhabited by a few planters as a summer retreat where under their own vine-and fig tree, they enjoy each others society with “none tb molest! or make afraid.” During the late war however this little town was marked not for destruction but annoyance, it is built upon a hill and its pretty white houses and lofty green poplars struck the admiring optics of the English Admiral whose majestic looking Frigate with her barges floating around her swining gracefully to the tide in the outer harbor—The old admiral took his ‘siesta’ as quietly as though his ship was under easy sail in the English Channel, but not so in the Village, a pragmat ical old buck of a Lord Mayor issued a non in tercourse act among the inhabitants and strict orders to have no lights at night to induce the enemy to believe the place was deserted, the old mothers took turns to spy at the vessels out of their garret .windows, tho girls said they would like to s;e the young red coats and the. more discreet sort of people thought they would rather see the devil than admiral John Bull; one old fisherman named Popham, regularly de- SCGiruvn he says from sir John Popham, lhe astonishment and dismay of the whole-village, and in the very face of my lord mayor, made Ins appearance on the public dock irnd swore by | (he beard of Neptune he’d have his fish and ! oysters if he had to get them, under tho vety , gups of the .Lacedemonian , his boat was soon j ready and with a fool-hardy olil Sancho in the I stern; away they paddled to the fishing-ground; , they no’sooner left the village in one direction, j than waggon*, loaded with tables, chairs, pots, pans ancLchildren were making all despatch in the other, the roads to the country were .alive old women and young, horses dogs and negroes, all raising a hue and cry against the reckless ness of Don Pophaoi and Sancho, and wished the British.might take them and keep them.— Tho planters and the parson met in committee of the whole, the parson in the chair, though he could’nt sikstill, and without any preamble re solved, unanimously resolved to follow their families, and leave the fishermen to the fate of his own temerity—in less than an hour every living thing was gone, the poultry had long been cooped for an emergency, the cattle bellowed i and run aftertheir runaway owners, the dogs ! had all curled their tails and trotted after their masters, and every Jiorse was saddled or driven before the<retreating villagers, Popham’s old . blind grey excepted, he kicked at every tiling - that came near him and ci opped the'grass on.' the bank of the river, .waiting the splash of his , masters paddle.

ITREATY WITH THE QUAPAWS,&c. We (fender our acknowledgements to major Hanum,' sub-agent for lhe Q inpaw Indians for the interesting information contained in the fol lowing Communication, in relation to /ndian af fairs. lYe had previously heard of the treaty recently concluded with the Q iapaws, residing in Jefferson county, sixty miles bylpw this place, but inadvertently forgot to mention it. i s Pine BluFps, May 27, 1833. Dear Sir— It gives me pleasure to inform you, thaj Schermerhorn, bn the pdrt of the United States, fias entered into a supplementary treaty with the Quapaw tribe of Indians.— They will be removed into the Indian country after’the ratification of the treaty, or so soon thereafter as may suit the convenience of the government. Mr. Schermerhorn has pursu ed that liberal and enlightened policy always observed by the present administration,’ in its intercourse with all lhe Indian tribes, and lias partially remunerated them for the injury they have heretofore sustained. Indeed there was no alternative left between their extinction and their removal into the Indian country. He has given lhem-such terms as has fully satisfied tho nation. They ; have a blight prospect in ad-t vance, and I doubt not, at no distant day, they will become a respectable portion of the In dian population., ,s The Ind ui,ii .business is one of great perplexi ty. At : the time the (treaties were made with the Cbdciawst, Creeksand Cherokees, tlife go vernment vs tjs. not in full possession of the topo graphy of.tlifi country. • There was no good f map of its extent. -The consequence was, that I ,in lhe allotment of the land to the different j ) tribes, the lines frequently interlocked wi<h j each other.. Os course great confusion and dis ' sattsfactioiT prevailed, among lhe Indians of ' those, tribes interested. It was a delicate mat terto fix the lines in such a manner as to satisfy 1 all the parties concerned. Indeed it was al most a hopeless matter ; yet lhe commissioners by pursuing that decisive and just course of po licy, that has governed them in all their trans actions with the Indians, have succeeded in per manently fixing the lines so as to be satisfactory to each tribe. Governor Cass, in his very ablo and satis factory report of February; 16, 1832, advanced a proposition as true, as any ever solved, viz : that the plan of emigration offers to this race the only hope of ultimate secmity and imptove raent, is a truth which lhe experience of every ; 1 day renders'more and more obvious. I doubt i not, if his-advice-is rigidly observed, butthat' the happiest consequences will not only result Ito the Indians, but id the citizens of the United I States. The Indians aro rapidly advancing to a slate 'of civilization Indeed in many of their fami l lies, you will find as much good economy and I order, as isobsorved in a well regulated white j family. They aro giving up the chase, and I I turning their attention to tho cultivation of the j earth—a much more certain and sure method of procuring a support, for their families, than to rely on the precarious chance of taking garnet . ' ' r . \ • The Indiana have greatly improved their condition in moving west* - They have a de ! liglitfnl country of gobdlands, with salines more i than sufficient to produce salt for the entire In -1 dian population, and'white population of the i Arkansas tcri.itory- There are six salt estab lishments nowih operation in the Cherokee country, vij’: Rbger’s, Brown’s aud Vann’s, on I ' the Webber’s, Mackey’s and ! i Guess's, oil thedllinoisk. b have been inform i ed thaf'govefrftei* Houston has a very valuable . saline on the Neosho, which if pul.in complete I operation, would produce an immense quantity {ofsalt. It lies .about twenty-five miles from ' fort Gibson, aijff has every advantage of .water j ; communication with the lower country. i The waters-of the Neosho and Illinois are i I very transparent, and afford great quantities of I the best kinds of fish. The country inhabited ; by rite ChoctawS,- Greeks, Cherokees, Osages, I j Senecas, Kaskaskias, itjliashaws, Weas, Peorias, Kansas and Delawares, with the country.yet to bo given to the Indians cast of the Mississippi, is greater in extent, and comprises more band, than the state of New- York, New-Jersey and all d* o eastern states together. r The Indian boundary extends from longitude ’ 17 west, fromtlw City of Washington to longi tude 23 or the lOOtn degree from London.— The Choctaws have about sixteen millions acres of land ; the Creeks about thirteen mil- i lions acres of land and the Cherokees about thiitcen millions five hundred thousand acres. The Osages have a country about fifty miles wide and one hundred and fifty in extent. The Senecas h ive about one hundred thousand i acres. _ • , , Mr. Scbermcrfipm, in three. liours after the treaty with the Quapaws was signed, set off for i fort Lavenworth, to meet a delegation ofPota ]watamies.

As this is a. ..time when all political feeling • is subsidiitg, and <me can be*lieaid for his argit smenls, and trvt-for his partizinship, we are in duced ,to recommend to tl»e consideration of 'our Legislature, and our brethren of the corps the subject of letter postage. Wo waive all argument upop ilie ptopriety of abolishing newspaj^er',postage, or letter pos tage in general, though all agree in acknowledg ing that the- charges upon what are termed ! double and treble letters, aro absurd and unjust —for we do not hope to make impresoiou open the public on subjects in which <d)are concern ed. • 'But\ve will recommend to the public the means of ameliorating the burden of postage, so that the public may be generally benelitted, and that the income of the Post Office Depart ment be but slightly affected. —Whatever aids the newspapers in ob taining information, is of great advantage to the public in general—an advantage not only to the merchant in furnishing him with “Prices Current,” “the state of trade,” commercial letter.” &c. &c. but 'to the newsmongers in ''geneful; Second,*—A. -serious burden and a heavy clog upon editors of newspapers, desirous of .furnishing their readers with lhe earliest and best news, is the heavy tax upon letters. Pro | bably all of the ptinciple newspapers would have correspondents in all oi the larger cities, were it not for the heavy tax upon letter!?. Third— Exchange newspapers <pannot be depended upon jts certain communicators of in telligence, for the mail carriers, very often in bad going, and often in good going, are in the habit of leaving the newspaper bags behind, and taking only the letter mail. Fourth- Correspondence is mote interest ing, more valuable, more minute, as more cer tain. Wo propose then to recommend that Editors of newspapers be alldtved to receive letters free ' of postage. W‘e cat) imagine no serious ob jections to' this plan; and wo 1 seo no serious a btrses of which they can be guilty. If they re* l ceivc subscription letters thus, is it not an ad vantage to ibo subscribe!? For the subscriber > always does, or always ought to pay the post age. Thus tho public is benefited. They can bo guilty of no great abuse for the franking ; postage is not allowed them, but simply tho privilege of receiving letters sent. Newspapers are established for the public good. They aro indispensably necessary' to ! every man of business—in short, they must be j classed as among the necessaries of life in a freo country. If tho people encourage- them, the enterprise of tho present day is such that lhe encouragement will bo returned in their supe rior value. It is an axiom in our system, (hat whatever aids the rapid transmission of news, and its wide dissemination, is an advautage to the whole system. , > *■ Editors of newspapers have as ifntch right to receive free letters as members of Congress. , Whatever arguments they can urge in’their be half, wo can urge with redoubled force. Wo aro workers for the public as well as they. Copgress gave us the privilege of receiving free newspapers. Thus this project is no new one—and now Congress will be liberal; just, and consistent, if to newspapers, it adds let ters. We suggest these brief arguments to our brethren of the quill. There are many more at hand, which their good sense will call up. This is no party question. We are all inter ested; the public are interested: and let us give it a fair discussion. We received the following account of a shock ing murder from Mr. McLaren, P. M. dated AbbeViLle, C« U. S. C. July 2, 1833. Dear Sir: J have just received by last night’s mail an account of a most atrocious murder that was committed on the body of William Patton, late merchant of this District, the same Gentleman, that was a candidate for the Legislature of this District, supported by tho Union party; he was a good citizen likewise; a true Union man.— He has left a large young family to deplore his untimely death. For further particular, I re fer you to the copy of the letter below, as re ceived by me. Jasper, Marion County, Tenn. ) Juno 14, 1833. J To the post-Master, Abbevill, S. C. Sir— A most horrible murder has been com mitted in the vicinity of this place, on the 10th ins’, as supposed from the circumstances. ’ The deceased is supposed to be of the name of Wm» Patton from your District on his way to the Western country, as appears fiom letters and papers found near whore he was concealed. The circumstances of the case are these as far as ascertained: < On Sunday night lie stayed at Col. Oalts, a few miles from this place in company with a man by' the name of Bennett Dooly. They left Col. Oaks’ together, and called at Mr. A. Rel- • ly’s, where Mr. Patton, as we suppose his name to be, endeavored to get some change; he seemed to have a large amount; they were seen at other places passing along the road. Two miles from this place they would have to ascend the Cumberland Mountain, near the top of which he, Patton, was discovered yes terday by some young men among the rocks; they were attracted to the place by the buz zards; his face was shockingly mangled, hav ing been beat to death. Patton was well dressed, riding a good bay horse. Dooly his been pursued by otir deputy Sheriff and other citizens, ho lives in an adjoining coun ty, and we have just heard that he went home the same day, Monday, and left early Tuesday morning. Were he is, is yet un known. Our citizens are greatly excited, and will do every thing that can -be done to ap prehend the villain. Ilis horse and all his money is missing. Dooly was seen on bis horse the same day. Should you know any thing of Pation, you will please give his friends information of his fate. Respectfully, 4 W. J. STAN DEFER.

A MURDERER AT'LARGE. c z\ letter has been put into our hands, from a gentleman in Tennessee, to his friend in 'this place, contain’-ng substantially the following in formation : In the week previous to the 16th of die present month, ths dead body of a man was found within a mi'.c and a half of the town of Jasper, Tennessee, and between that and ?.]•- I , ‘ Miiiville, in a bucket of bushes, near a little spring on the road side, by some persons wlTOt were travelling. The body of the deceased ex- 7 hibiied such m >rks of violence about the head as left no doubt of his having been killed by y fellow being. Inquiry was t-hen awakened oy the subject, which resulted in tlie.cjonclusive-he— i lief that the deceased was a Dr. ’Henderso’u" ; I from South-Carolina, near Charleston; and i that he had been murdered and 'robbed by tnun by the name of Bennett Doola,. a-resident'/ of Franklin county, Tennessee.'

After they had geilier for some distance, Dooh beguiled bi®— fellow-traveller from the right road, under the- . pretence that the way in which he was taking ! bitn was the nearest and best, to enable him to* j touch at certain places in Tennessee, which' ho ' had expressed a desire to do. When they got i to thejittle spring, mentioned above, it is sup— ‘ posed that Doola watched an opportunity while- , > the -Doctor was stooping down to drink, there -. being no cup and he having to kneel down and. bend over to the water, and knocked him on th3 head with a large loaded whip, which he cur ried.

On Monday evening Thomas Sparks, the father, whois represented as a man of tho worst passion, returned homo in a partial state# of intoxicatign.

Ono blow was in- • j sufficient; and procuring a heavy stick, he coin* j menced the task of murder with renewed deter* mination and Vigor.
