THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (Ga.)—JUNE 22, 1837.
The Report of Col. Baldwin. In the
previous numbers we have published tlie leg
islative and Congressional documents, relating
to the harbor of Brunswick, and in the present
number is inserted portions of the Report
drawn up by Col. Baldwin. This gentleman is
extensively known as a practical Engineer of
great experience and learning. The Dry
Docks constructed by him for the use of the
Navy, arc among the most perfect specimens
of art to be met with in the continent, and his
various surveys and examinations, prove him
to be one of the most accomplished Engineers
of the day. The confidence placed in his
judgment by those acquainted with him is un
limited, and no one could have been selected,
■whose opinions w ould receive more deference.
\Yhen, therefore, it was first proposed to North
ern capitalists to invest property in,this work,
they employed this gentleman to examine the
harbor, and also the facilities for constructing
aiCanal. They were not willing to embark
in an enterprise requiring an expenditure of
millions, without understanding fully the means
by which their money should be returned, and
.they at some future time reap reward of
their labors. 'Accordingly Col. Baldwin came |
prepared to examine the ground with an eye !
to the interest of his employers—his feelings
prejudices, and wishes were with his Northern
friends, and nothing however slight, which
could detract from its value would be likely to
escape his observation. That feeling of State
pride which might have led the Commissioners
to view every thing in the most favorable light,
covdd not of course influence him. He did not
look at the subject with the eye gs a Georgian,
anticipating the growth ofa city, and the open
ing of a port, which should add so much to the
wealth and importance of his State, over
looking the obstacles to be removed, and the
disadvantages to be overcome. But he exam
ined it as a business man, with sole reference
to the profit which should accrue to those un
dertaking the heavy work, and with this feeling
he made his survey. It will be observed that
he continually corroborates the statements of
the Commissioners, and thus affords accumula
tive evidence of the accuracy of their Report
He also adds another to the number of those,
who after careful and thorough examination,
have pronounced this tire best harbor south of
the Chesapeake. In fact, those have spoken
the most violently against Brunswick, who
know the least about it Upon the strength of
Col. Baldwin’s Report, together with the
exertions of a citizen of Glynn County, the
stock has been taken up—the work commenc
ed, and now progressing more vigorously than
at any time.
It may be fair to remark thftt two errors
are said to exist in this Report One being
an unimportant mistake in regard to the con
struction of the Steamboats used on the Alta
maha. And the other, in regard to the depth
of water at Doby. For the last mistake, (if such
it is) he was indicted by the Grand Jury of
Mclntosh County. But as if this were not con
sidered sufficient proof of his error, a letter has
been published, written by a Lieut Ramsay
of the Navy, which we arc informed was pre
pared for the purpose of showing that Doby bar
deserves a much better character than it has
heretofore borne. Should we be able to pro
cure a copy of this letter, we shall lay it before
our readers. For we are desirous of doing
justice to all the towns which may be injured
by the growth of Brunswick. The objection
ha3 also been made that Col. Baldwin went be
yond his province, in speaking at all of Darien
or its port But it seems to us that he did no
more than the strict performance of his duty
required. He was employed to report the ad
vantages presented by Brunswick, and the re
sources it could command; —and surely in
speaking of the excellence of its harbor, and
the trade to be drawn from the Altamaha by
means of a Canal, it was necessary to explain
the reasons why that trade should leave its old
channels. These reasons appealed to him to
be the anhealthiness of the town, and the in
feriority of the harbor at the mouth of tire Al
tamaha. If I ?'.'/'.' 1 -* - rbor could afford the neces
sary security and facilities for extensive .com
merce, then Brunswick was not required, and
he was compelled to show that Doby and Da
rien, did not afford the requisite advantages.
Without offering an opinion aj present on this
subject, we shall reserve any further remarks
until we comment on the letter of the Lieu
tenant to which allusion has been made.
The Trace of the South. It is some
what singular that while the South is the great
producer, the transactions of the country should
be entirely conducted by the North. While
the South raises the gTeat staple which pays
for the immense amount of foreign goods con
sumed in this country, the advantages arising
from the interchange of commodities are con
fined exclusively to the North. And the South
ern ports instead of increasing in population
and importance, are tributaries to New York.
This extraordinary phenomenon excites the
surprise of every reflecting mind, and the
question naturally presents itself, why this
exception to the general principles of political
economy ? Why is it that instead of a direct
exporting and importing trade between the
South and Europe, it should be necessary to
use New York as the broker for both ? Euro
pean voyages can be made in less time be
tween the Southern porta than New York—
the merchants of the interior could purchase
their goods much cheaper, and all tire expen*
ses now accruing from thetise made of New
York, both in the way of freights, insurance
and commissions, but also tire important item
of domestic exchanges would be saved. A di
rect exporting and importing trade would tend
to increase the profits on the cotton, and cer
certainly diminish the price of the imported
goods. Many of the country merchants pur
chase their stocks in New York on six months,
and often times before they are able to expose
them for sale, the notes are due, and the goods
in point of fact, are to them precisely as to the
New York merchant who purchases with
cash. The cotton, too, is liable to the same
delay in reaching a market, and when to these
are added the items we have enumerated of
freight, insurance, commissions and exchanges,
the consumers must pay an enormous advance
on the cost of the goods in the New York
market, the greater part of which might be
saved, if there were at the South cities import
ing extensively enough to supply the wants of
the country. One principal cause for this un
natural state, is the sickliness of all the South
ern ports, which for several mouths in the
year effectually closes them to the entrance of
ships from European voyages. If, however,
a port can be found free from this objection,
where ships can enffcr with ease, and remain
in safety, and the crews preserve their health
at all seasons, Summer as well as Winter — i
where well directed capital and intelligence
shall centre —will not much of that trade now j
tending North, be checked and turned P Andi
will not the entire South be a gainer by the.!
change? * j
The individuals who are engaged in the j
improvement of Brunswick, believe that it pre-!
sents all the requisites for commanding an ex- j
tensive commerce—a harbor capable of admit- *
ting and protecting all the tonnage employed
in the Southern trade, and a climate not the j
least deletefipus to the health of seamen—a
rich back country, and its resources annually I
developing by the const-uction of Rail-roads,
and consequent growth of the country through
which they pass. Engaged in such an enter
prize, are they not justly entitled to the good
wishes of the South, and most especially of
Georgia ? And the acts of the Legislature of
this State have given them the best assurance
that this enterprize receives the favor of the i
people. In this age of experiments, they have !
undertaken one, which, if it succeeds, will j
cause a complete revolution in the commercial
operations of the South. An experiment of
such importance requires the expenditure of
large sums and heavy sacrifices, all of which j
will be met with a perfect certainty of the re
sult; for that city which possesses the most
advantages, must in the end command more
business than any in the South.
The Canal to the Ai.tamaha. Although j
much money has been expended on this work, j
the results have as yet been small. This has
been owing to several mistakes committed by j
the Company, but which have now been cor-1
rected. The great error was in procuring Irish-j
men instead of blacks. The great works ofj
Internal Improvement at the North, have been |
constructed by Irish laborers, and when kept,
under proper control, they serve there a very j
useful purpose. Aware of this fact, the Com- i
pany naturally supposed that these men could |
be as easily managed here as elsewhere. But j
the experiment proved the fallacy of their ex
pectations. For removed from the wholesome I
restraints imposed on them by a dense popula-1
tion, and with overseers incapable of command- |
nig respect or obedience, they acted very much |
as they pleased ; and from the day of their ar- 1
rival to that of their departure, our quiet town
was but one scene of drunkenness and riot.— (
Five hundred Irishmen were brought out and ;
paid for three months time, and their labor was 1
not enough to pay their passage. When any i
of the kind friends and well wishers of Bruns
wick, are inclined to talk ofjlhe money thrown
away by the Company, they will be performing
an act of justice to mention that the greater .
part of the money so spent, was for Irish labor.
But not only was there a loss of money and
provisions, but also of time. For nothing worth
mentioning had been accomplished at the time
the blacks commenced in March. Or these,
about two hundred have been employed in
draining the town, and from a calculation made
by the Engineers, the same labor on the Canal
would have completed two miles. The other
gang has not worked under such favorable
circumstances, but still their results are favor
able. The whole force is now actively engag
ed on the Canal, and at the expiration of the
year, a good portion will be completed. Should
the paralysis under which the business of the
world is now suffering, be at all relieved with
the new year, a large force will be placed on
the work which will be pushed forward with
renewed activity.
Professor Silliman of Yale College has been
offered a Professorship in the Transylvania
University of Kentucky, which it is expected
lie will accept. If so, the West will be rob
bing New England of her' most enthusiastic
sftdent of nature. “The Journal of Arts and
Sciences” conducted by this gentleman has
done more to elevate the American character
abroad, than all the Magazines and Novels
which have teemed from a fruitful press. And
to the influence of his industry and devotion
may be ascribed in a great measure tho inter
est now felt in the study of the physical scien
ces, and more particularly those Geological ex

aminations now going on under the authority
of the different States. We have heard it re
markeffithat in this country alone has anything
of the kind been undertaken by Legislative
| sanction, and while the Princes of Europe have
{ been the patrons of the Fine Arts, the States
!of tlris Union have been the first to examine
the conformation of their territory and add to
this department of knowledge.
Should Professor Silliman move West, the
[ great Valley of the Mississippi will give up its
secrets and the history of its creation will he
by him decyphered from the hyeroglyphics
which nature has engraved upon its surface.—
And in the course of years the Naturalist will

RENEWAL OF HOSTILITIES.
Since our last intelligence has been receiv
;ed from Tampa, that all the Indians at the
I camp there had fled to the woods. The cir
cumstances are stated to be that Gem Jesup
had ordered those enrolled to prepare for im
mediate emigration, to which they seemed
averse, and an intimation reached the comman
ding General, which induced him to send cut
a detachment to take them prisoners; but
when they reached thT- Indian camp they found
it evacuated. Every Indian including the hos
tages Micanopy, Jumper and others.
Thus they have temporised and used every
deception and subterfuge to pass off time until
the sickly season had commenced. ~ It is said
that Micanopy. in order to deceive aiul induce
a belief in his Sincerity, deposited in the hands
of a Sutler at Tampa, a tew- days previous to
this flight, a considerable sum of money said
to be about 1000 dollars; Abram, the negro
chief and interpreter, also deposited a consid
erable sum. Verily, “Micanopy is not the fat
old fool we have thought him.”
By the arrival of the steamboat Essay at Pi
colata yesterday from Fort Mellon, we learn
that a number of Ifftnams had made their ap
pearance at that post, and it is said Philip and
Micanopy are among them; they assign as a j
reason for leaving Tampa, that sickness pro- j
vailed among the soldiers there,’and they fled |
from contagffm, and also that they wanted to j
hold a talk with the officers at Fort Mellon.
An express rider from Micauppy at Black
Creek reports that several men had been mur. '
dered near the Big Spring on the Oeklawaha,
about 2 1-2 miles from Fort King, and it is ‘
feared that it is too true.
An officer of the army at Tampa in writing i
to his friend at Black Creek, commences thus.
"As hostilities axe again about to commence,”
&c.
Letters it is said have been written by Gen.
j Jesup, to the commanders of posts, .ordering
j them to be on the alert, and recommending
them to advise the inhabitants to abandon their
crops and retire upon the posts.
Our cunning enemy has againfoiled us, and
has shown himself as successful in the cabinet
las in the field. During their protracted nego
| tiation, they were enabled to supply themselves
| with provisions, clothing and ammunition; they
j brought in largo droves of cattle, the captured
i property of our citizens which they sold to
| the Government, and received certificates there
for at a certain valuation ; these were taken
Iby traders as so much money, and were thus
| enabled to purchase supplies. They obtained
j ammunition from the Creek Volunteers, who
j received it from the ordnance officers, for the i
; purpose of hunting.
j Nearly two, out of Powell’s threatened five j
; years, in which he would fight the w hites have i
I elapsed and judging from the progress made
on our part tow ards conquering him, it seems
likely that he .will be enabled to hold out the !
remainder of the time. But the distress, anx- j
iety, and hardships to be endured by our in
habitants are easier felt tiian described. The 1
troops are to retire to summer quarters and '
nothing will be done till fall beyond protect- j
1 ing the frontiers.—The last four months have |
1 been wasted in negotiation and the Indian? ;
have become recruited from the fatigues of the
past campaigns. The people have become ti- |
rod and their patience is w ell nigh exhausted, j
with heart sickening deferred hopes. It is not
our habit to complain.—Complaints avail but
; little. If the blood of our murdered fellow citi
zens, which calU aloud for vengeance ; the ashes
of our consumed dwellings ; and the sight of our ;
ravaged plantations, will not awaken the ener
gies of those charged with the termination of this
; horrid warfare — what will ?
i ~
It is-rumored that Fort Armstrong had been
: attacked and that the fight continued two
hours.
Gen Jesup is said to be at Fort King.
We give the above as reports merely ; the
avenues of correct information seem to be clo
-1 sed-to us and we can give but the reports of
the day.—We have been informed from a very
high source, that very strict orders had been
sent to Gen. Jesup from Washington, not to
allow any tiling to appear in the public papers
in relation to our Indian affairs in Florida,
which would have the tendency to excite alarm
arubttpprehtnsion in tlw mind of the inhabitants*
Such a course has been prescribed for those
who have the charge of protecting and defend
: ing our inhabitants and terminating the horrid
| warfare which has desolated our territory, and
they cannot pursue any other. There are but
few who can approve of this suppression of in
] formation, so important to his. It creates dis
trust and want of confidence, and produces the
effect which it is wished to avoid. The peo
ple wish to know the facts and the/ ought to
be made acquainted with them.
Gem Jesup’s plan now is, it is stated to em
i ploy a number of Choctaws. The Cseeks
! have been found to be inefficient. They are
connected with the Semiuoles by the ties of
| consanguinity, and speak tlie same language ;
1 they have found friends and relations among
j them and it is not to be expected that they will
1 be as efficient as was at first anticipated.
: The Choctaws make it their boast that they
! have never yet shed tlie blood of a white man,
l and they are represented as being a warlike
! tribe. It is said a feeling of jealousy exists a
mong them that the Creeks were employed in
prefiffence. They speak a different language
and are in no way connected with the Semi
noles.

| “Major General E. P. Gaines left here for Jef

yRtJTINT At THE TxfclAlf CaMP. As I liaVC
observed in my former communications, tlie
Texan volunteers cantoned at the camp upon
Ijaßaca, or Navidad, have been very much dis
satisfied at the state of inactioq in which they
have been kept for die last twelve inontlia, and
felt very anxious either to advance into Mex
, ico or obtain their-dischnrge. Tlie Texan ar-
I my is daily increasing in numbers, by tlie con
| stant arrival of volunteer/, and amounts now to
1 2,400 men, in the best order and discipline; but
j the government is laboring under great diffi
j culties to keep them together. In fact, the
soldiers begin to suffer from tlie w*ant of provis
ions and pay; and under such circumstances,
no wonder the following occurrence has taken
j .place.
On the sth ultimo, some unwillingness was
manifested by a number of the volunteers to
t attend to their duties on the pretence that they
I were refused what govermnent had promised
them. On tlie following day several-of them
j refused to assemble on parade,and w-ere conse
! quently put under guard, and confined inirons,
by order, as it was reported, of tlie coimnrading
General, A. Sidney Johnson. The same night,
about five hundred men, armed with muskets
and bayonets, proceeded to the guard tent,
and demanded of the captain of tlie guard tlie.
immediate release of the prisoners ; he refus
ing to grant this, tlie mutineers entered the
tent and knocked off the irons of the men con
fined there. Communication of this movement
w’as quickly convoyed to General Johnson,who
was still confined to his tent; but irt despite of
his wound, ho mounted his horse, rodo to the
artillery corps, and ordered a parade of the va
rious companies. The cannons were loaded
with grape and canister, and drawn up so as to
rake tlie whole line of the mutineers. General
Johnson then unhesitatingly rode up, ordering
them to ground their arms immediately, or to
receive the discharge of the artillery. The
mutineers finding their situation rather un
pleasant, cast a look at the artillerymen, and
obeyed the order without murmuring. The
ringleaders (about twenty in number) were then
secured and put in irons—the remainder dis
persed to their, quarters, and order and disci
pline were restored in the camp. Gen. John
son seldoiqjeaves his tent, his wound not per
mitting it. Hehas written to the Secretary
of War, either to send him officers to assist in
the command, or to appoint another command
er ; but by this time, General Felix Houston
must have returned to tlie army. [Cour. &

An old bon vivant., eighty years of age, living
near Quaide Jemmappes, gave a dinner to a
party of his friends. The glass and the song
went round merrily, and the master of the feast
was even more cheerful and joyous than usual.
Just as lie hud finished a bacchanalian song,
he addressed his guests, saying, “Gentlemen,
every tiling ends with a song, and it is time
for me to come to an end also?* Upon this he
took up a knife that lay before him, plunged
it into his heart, and fell from his chair, wel
tering in his blood. His astonished, guests
immediately went to his assistance, but life was
extinct He had taken the utmost 'precautions
to secure the success of his project The knife
which was pointed, had been sharpened at his
express desire ; the blow was directed so as
to be certain of its effect; and he had put aside
every article of his clothing, that was likely
to impede the stroke. No positive motive for
this desperate act is known to exist; but it is
recollected that the deceased had lately been
heard to declare that deatii was preferable to
the infirmities and privations of old age.
A.decision on the subject of theLiuEL
Law has been made in England by Lord
Denman, which seems to have produced
quite a sensation. lie has ruled that pub
lications by order of Parliament are not
covered by the privilege, but may be sub
jects of action for libel. Lord John Rus
sell lias considered tlie decision of suffi
cient importance to call the attention of
the House of Commons. The freedom
of speech, is thereby construed not to
include tljc freedom flf publication. A
member may state without legal question
: ing, elsewhere, every thing in relation to
! individuals, which he may think proper,
| and believe the House has a right to know
in order to upon public matters. There
is no check uprtft his discretion there, but
the law is held not to authorise the publi
; catio.n of libellous matter. The question
|of privilege is therefore likely to come
' up for a thorough examination in the Brit
; isli Parliament.
W ashing Silks. A late number of an
English periodical contains an useful ar
ticle on washing silks, from which _wc
copy the following extract: —
‘'Lajfeth* piece of silk upon a clean
board; soap a piece of flannel well, with
out making it very wet, and with this rub
the silk carefully and evenly one way ; al
ter having thus cleansed one side of the
silk, take a wet sponge and wash off the
soap; proceed in the same manner to
clean ‘ the other side, and then wipe the
water oft* of each with a clean dry cloth ;
after which hang the silk in the air to
dry: do not wring it, but hang it as sin
gle as possible upon a linen horse, and let
it dry gradually. When very nearly dry,
iron with a cool box. In this manner we
last summer washed a slate-colored dress
which was so dirty with constant wear of
a winter, that we did not like to use it ev
en for linings, without endeavoring to re-
| move some of tlie spots, and we were quite
j hopeless of its being fit for any thin" ex
cept linings even when washed, but its
brightness was completely restored; its
texture was softer than when new, and it
made a very nice looking child’s frock.”
