What responsibility superior to this do the
fleers of our national government incur ? In
truth, it is to the very same tribunal, and none
other, that they too, are answerable. A gov
ernment officer, though he may in Cases of im
peachments undergo a more formal and well
advised trial than a bank director, and in this
respect has greatly the advantage of him, must
yet depend ujxni the verdict of public opinion;
and though his punishment for misconduct is
more definite, it is in no respect more severe.
Such is a very general view of the operations
of banks and of the safeguard which the pub
lic have against the abuse of their power. The
extent of that power and its beneficial influ
ence, we intend to consider in a future num
ber. Meantime we wish distinctly to disclaim
any intention of maintaining that in past times
the power of banks has not been abused. We
know too well that some Legislatures have been
faithless in granting charters, and that some
Directors have broken their trust in acting
upon them. But we do assert, from knowledge
of the facts, that such instances are rare ex
ceptions to the general benefit derived from
banks. To condem them, because they possess
the power to do mischief, would be as reasona
ble as to condemn «s to be shackled and im
prisoned, because we have the power to strike
our neighbor to the heart. To break them,
down by the force of public opinion would be
as monstrous and absurd, if not as disastrous, as
by the same means, to raze the splendid and
symmetrical fabric of our government, because
its administration might fall into the hands of
the ignorant and corrupt
The Florida War. From an extra po
litely forwarded by the Savannah Georgian, in
advance of the mail, we make the following
extracts. They will be read with sincere sor
row : ,*»
Disastrous Intelligence. From Capt. Mills,
of the steamer Camden, from Garey’s Ferry,
arrived this morning, we learn that on the 28th
ult. between Peas Creek and the Cypress
swamp, a small party of Indians was seen and
pursued, and when the pursuing.party reached
the hammock, the Indians were discovered in
great force, and a severe contest immediately
ensued, in which 28 of our gallant troops were
killed, and 111 wounded. Among the killed
are Col. Thompson, Capt. Van Swearingen,
Lieut Brook and Lieut Center, all of the Ar
my, and Col. Gentry, Captain Andrews, and
Lieut. Walker, of the Missouri volunteers
wounded. Col. Gentry has since died.
The loss of the Indians not ascertained, but
presumed to be large. A few days previous
Gen. Jessup captured 27 Indians near Fort
Lane.
Since the above was written we have been
politely furnished with the following extra ,
which painfully confirms, the above statement.
From the Jacksonville Courier.
We hasten to give to the public the follow
ing intelligence of a battle recently fought be
tween our troops and the Indians. The place,
as stated in the letter, is not known to us, or to
the writer. Such accounts cannot but convince
all, that the foe we are pursuing and fighting,
is not to be contemned.
To the Editor of the Jacksonville Courier.
Garey’s Ffriiy, Jan 2d, 1837.
Dear Sir :—I hasten to inform you that a
battle was fought a few days since, (place not
known,) between the Indians, and part of the
6th Regiment of Infantry. We lost in killed
and wounded 139 ; loss of tlie enemy not
known—the officers killed are Lt. Col Thonijb
son, Capt Vanswearingen, Lts. Brook and
Center, and Col. Gentry of the Volunteers.
Wounded 111—killed28.
Your’s in haste,
RICHARD WEIGHTMAN.
Extract of a letter repeived from Black
Creek, dated—
January 2d, 1838.
An express reached here this morning, in
40 hours front Tampa Bay, bringing the intel
ligence of a battle having been fought be
tween the Seminoles under Sam Jones and
Alligator,and the regular forces under Col.
Z. Taylor, Ist infantry. It is not distinctly
stated where the action took place, but pre
sume it must have been in the immediate vicin
ity of Lake Kissimmee, as we know by pre
vious accounts, via Fort Mellon, of his being
there on the 23d of Dec. Both parties must
have fought with the most determined bravery.
We have met with a severe loss. Lieutenant
Col Thompson, Capt. Van Swearengen, and
Lieutenants Center and Brooks, killed. Capt.
Geo. Andrews and Lt Walker, severely woun
ded ; Col. Gentry, of the Missouri Volunteers,
mortally wounded (since dead). Killed and
wounded, 139 ; say 111 wounded, and 28 kil- j
led. The loss of the Indians we have not as
certained, but they were completely cut up. |
Foreign Aggression. The British troops
stationed in tlie Province of New Brunswick,
at the last dates were marching through the
disputed Territory, on their way to Canada.—
When it is recollected that by the terms of the
arrangements, this portion of our territory is to
be exempt from all exercise of jurisdiction by
either party—and that for an alleged breach of
this compact, an officer of the State of Maine,
is now imprisoned in the jail at Fredericton,
the indignation of the Nation will be aroused,
and the Government be forced to maintain
tiie rights, and protect in all its integrity the* 1
territory of one of the Sovereign and Indepen
dent States which form the Confederacy. As
matters now stand, Great Britain has the pos
session, and enjoys all the advantages she can
wish. This act of the British Authorities is a
direct violation of the laws of Nations, and if
not resented by our Government, must inevita
bly lower us in tlie estimation of the world.

Among the sufferers by the recent fire at
New Haven was an industrious mechanic
named William C. Baldwin. At the fire,
one Isaiah Gale, who rejoices in the pos
session of a head, but never beard of a
soul, attached a small remnant of Mr.
Baldwin’s property to secure a debt of fif
ty-nine dollars. Such a man ought to be
buried where the sun never rises.—[N.
York paper.
Let’s pas&Jiim round, and gather the
opinions of the press concerning him.
We think he ought to be made to get a
living by chewing paper rags of the dirti
est sort. [Eastern Argus.
He ought to he winked at by lightning
hugs, sneezed at by musquitoes, and grin
ned to death by wild-cats. [Bungtown
Chronicle.
His raiment and food should be sack
cloth and ashes—the lattes from the ru
ins of the victim. [N. Y. Star.
We think he should be compelled to
live on ink soup until his countenance is
changed to the blackness of his heart,
and then to be embalmed in a bag of ash
es ‘forty da vs and forty nights.’—[Rich.
(In.) Pal.
He should be “tetotaciously exfluncti
cated.”— [W atch.
He should be rode from Wisconsin to
Nantucket ‘sittin on a rail.’—[Journal &,
Times.
He should be condemned to go on foot
all the days of hisTife up and down Yel
low Creek hills, hunting a colt, and be to
knocked on the head by an old gray horse
at last. [Western Herald.
He ought to make a contract with A
mos Kendall to carry the mail and get
cheated out of his pay for it. He ought
to sleep on an Arkansas flat on a summer
night without a musquitoe bar—be con
demned to marry two wives and live with
them —wait at Wellsville three days fora
steamboat, and then have onego past and
not stop —to read the Globe regularly—
sleep in a room with one who snores—be
wiggled to death Ky pollywogs, and bu
ried in a tar barret.—[Wheeling Times.
The wretch should be compelled to
read Eli Moore’s Speech and Bennett's
Herald —physic off the same with lobe
lia—and finally end his miserable career
by being kicked to death by lame grass
iiopers!—(Keep him agoing.)—[Hudson
River Chronicle.
He ought to be compelled to have his
name printed on his hat in large letters
while be lives, and engraved on his tomb
stone after his death. Pass him on.—[Al
bany Daily Advertiser.
In the first place, let him be lathered
%ith hot tar, and shaved with a broken
glass bottle. Secondly, make him dance
a double shuffle ou a heated iron floor,
and when tired almost to death, let him
rest himself on the end of a three prong
ed pitchfolk. Thirdly, drive him naked
through a nursery of full grown barber
ry bushes, and afterwards kivtr him up in
a*salt barrel. Fourthly, sentence him to
feed on Graham bread for six months,and
then make him read the Bangor Daily
papers, and Harry Williams’s Speeches.
If any thing is left of him, push him a
long neighbors.— [Boston Daily Herald.
The unfeeling monster should he made
to cross the Altamaha on the back of an
Alligator, closely pursued by a Deputy
Sheriff, and then sent to Florida to fight
the Seminoles. If the Indians did not
“use him up,” lie should be compelled
to read two or three numbers of the Bos
ton Herald for his breakfast, and dine on
one of Harrington’s still-born plays.—
