THE ADVOCATE. BRUNSWICK, (Ga.> MARCH 29, 1838. State Rights Ticket for Congress. ELECTION FIBST MONDAY IN OCTOBER. THOMAS BUTLER KINO, of Glynn. * WILLIAM C. DAWSON, of Greene. JULIUS C.

We commend to the attention of our readers an excellent communication on the subject of duelling on our second page. THE SABBATH. It is, in every point of view, most important to our place that we should use every endeav or to establish the regular observance of this «acred day. We are led to enforce this remark not so much, from any observed neglect of its sanctity, as from a conviction of the supreme importance of its regular celebration; though, true it is, that we cannot boast of being, even with our present advantages, particularly ex emplary in this respect It is a matter of deep concern to all of us to establish Jjere a church and clergyman. The good order of a place depends much upon those divisions of time, those seasons of rest and holy refreshing incident to regular Sab bath keeping, to say nothing of the food provi ded for moral and religious reflection. To the well regulated mind, a plan of life with out the Sabbath, is as gloomy as existence without the sun. We propose then that a subscription be im mediately opened for the support of a clergy man in this place. No matter of what denom ination he be, so he be intelligent and faith ful and a hearty and sincere disciple of his Master. Should this be done and a sufficient subscription be raised, as we doubt not there would, then let application be made to the Di rectors of the Brunswick Companies to build a church. A proper disposition on the part of the inhabitants being shown to take advantage of their Sabbath privileges, we cannot doubt, but that both feeling and interest would unite, on the part of the stockholders, to render the most liberal assistance to so laudable an ob ject The same motives which induced them to drain the swamps, and to build an excellent Hotel at immense expense for the bodily health and convenience of the inhabitants, should still further prompt them, at an expense com paratively trifling, to provide for their wants in a point still more essential and important. FROM WASHINGTON. Latest dates 20th March. The Sub Treas ury bill still drags along—but slowly, for the fight is a hard one, and the Opposition are now too strong to be gagged by the previous ques tion on any of the arbitrary measures of the majority of the last Congress. Mr. Webster has made a most powerful speech upon it; of which Mr. Legarc of S. C., a political oppon ent, is said to have remarked, that he certainly was the most eloquent orator of this or any oth er country. In the House, many petitions up on various subjects have come up. The fol lowing are the only ones we note as of inter est. A petition from Philadelphia to expunge the Declaration of Independence from the Journal. the booksellers of Philadelphia against permitting foreign authors to take out copy rights id this country. And to enable Dr. Perrin, late U. S. Consul at Campeachy, to experiment in the cultivation of tropical plants. This matter is said to have an im portant practical effect in relation to Southern interests, as there are plants of the finest and most delicate fibre not yet introduced into this country, which will grow with the least manu al labor and on the poorest soils. The bill for running the North Eastern Boundary still occupies attention, but lias not passed. The claim of our merchants upon Congress for French spoliations prior to 1800, which were settled with France at the pur chase of Louisiana, has again come up, but it will be passed over with contempt, no doubt. The merchants must wait They can hardly expect satisfaction for their just claims from a “perish credit, perish commerce” Administra tion. The funeral of Mr. Carter of Maine, took place on the 16th. REMOVAL OF THE CHEROKEES. From the Southern Recorder we extract the correspondence which will be found on the se.cond page, and learn that the mo6t effective measures have been taken to secure against disturbance in the removal of the Cherokees.— Nine Companies from Georgia are already or ganized with this view, and two more are soon to be added; besides the requisitions which may be made under the authority of the War Department from Tennessee and North Caro lina. In all, these will constitute a force, wc should suppose of fifteen hundred men under the command of Col. Lindsay. With these troops, commanded by an officer of the approv ed judgment and conduct of Col. Lindsay, no apprehensions of any difficulty in the removal need fie entertained. A duel was fought in N. Orleans, I4th insL between a French gentleman and a merchant of that city, with rifles at 30 paces. The lat- Wr fell at the first fire. The following is an extract of a letter from an intelligent correspondent of ours in Pennsylvania, who, living on one of the lines of her magnificent public works, has had an opportunity of observing and appreciating their effects. It-is within the knowledge of the writer, that immense sections of mountain land in that part of the country, which were again and again abandoned for taxes, is now selling for from fifteen to twenty dollars per acre: tt l liave often wondered why Georgia did not commence a system of Internal Improvements. From what little knowledge I possess of its Geography and resources, there is no State in the Union where Rail Roads and Canals could be made with less expense, or produce greater benefits to the community. Our Pennsylva nia Improvements last season, notwithstanding their unfinished state, and die pressure of the times, paid nearly interest on their cost, and some of our chartered Company Canals paid 30 per cent I have no doubt when the Penn sylvania Improvements are completed, and be come permanent, they will pay 20 per cent on the cost, and die tolls be extremely low. The Revenue accruing to a State from tolls, I hold but a minor consideration when compared with the value such improvements give to property in their neighborhood, and the great facility business receives. I think I am within the mark, when I say diat the value of Real Es tate in Pennsylvania has increased in conse quence of her Improvements, five times the amount of all die expenditures for said Im provements. Therefore, a State will be gain er in the aggregate, without any revenue for her works.” NEW HAMPSHIRE ELECTION. The Boston Atlas of die 16th inst gives re turns from 162 towns, out of 231 in the State. The result is, for Isaac Hill, (V. B.) 21,877 Wilson, (W.) 21,634 V.

Probably Isaac Hill is reelected by a small majority, but die change of the times is easily seen in die fact that in the Granite State where THE PARTY had an overwhelming and commanding majority, diey have now to struggle for existence. THE COTTON MARKET is again reviving at the West We quote N. Orleans, March I>, IGallc. Sales of the week previous, 14000 bales. In Sea Island, in the Atlantic ports, almost nothing is doing. At Charleston, the Upland Cotton marketis represented as unsettled, and extreme prices 7allc. The same is true of Savannah and Augusta. But we look confidently to the effect which the improved opinion of American affairs in the English markets will have in advancing the prices of our staple. From the annexed interesting extract from the London Morning Chronicle, it will be per ceived how exact is the appreciation in Eng land of the state of affairs in this country.— Our true position and just credit could not be more correctly stated than in the following: AMERICAN DEBT TO ENGLAND. The accounts from New York in which the banks of that and die other principal states are represented in so favorable a position, have given a very considerable impetus to the trans actions in the stocks and shares of that country, and revived also the expectations of the mer chants and manufacturers as to the prospects of the export trade. Not only has specie been already accumulated to an extent which would render possible an almost immediate resumption of cash payments in America, but the exchange on diis country has now fallen to a rate which would already prove that very little or no bal ance is now remaining due to this country, and that no obstacle remains to the re-establislunent of a fair amount of export and import trade. However improbable so early a recovery from the panic of 1837 might have appeared some few months since, it is yet capable of the most perfect demonstration that the profits upon the cotton crop of even a single year might cause the whole balance to have been paid off, and thus to have brought round in so short a penod the present re-establishment of mercantile af fairs. Supposing the debt due to England to have been £6,000,000 in 1837, and the cotton crop to be the principal or even the only means of paying off this balance,it must be remember ed that the crop of this plant for the year 1837, has been fully 1,100,000 bales, and the value full £20,000,000 sterling,before shipment from the United States. The profit upon this at the prices which have ruled since the late panic, has been at least 100 per cent, for the average price has been, and is now, about 12 cents per lb. in the various ports of the United States, and the best authorities agree that cotton, on the best soils, can be profitably grown at the rate of6 1-4 cents per lb. which is also clearly shown by the evidence ofJVfr. Joshua Bates before the committee of the House of Commons in 1833. Here, there fore, is a profit of £10,000,000 on the cotton produced in the single year of 1837, and sup posing only a little more than one half that amount to have been appropriated to the pay ment of the balances due in England, even this would be sufficient for the liquidation of the whole of this, to many persons and several of our contemporaries, once hopeless mass of American debt To the profits of the cotton orop must also bo added the crops of tobacco, rice, and other commodities; but these being very much low er than the advantages of the cotton, may he excluded from the estimate, as also may be the profits upon American mercantile marine, which has been considerably reduced by the | general stagnation of the shipping interests BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. throughout the whole of last year. Depending, j therefore, upon the cotton planting states alone, 1 the Union has—accumulated profit sufficient j for the clearing of all possible incumbrances ' when the cotton of 1837 may have been brought to market in the European states and there is, upon these calculations, the most reasonable prospect of a very early revival of the English and American trade. GEN. JESUP’S LETTER. The public who eighteen months since were entertained by reading Gen. Jesup’s letters to “Dear Blair,” editor of the Globe, will be now we imagine not a little astounded at the pub lication of the present What a complete mor- > tification must it be to that officer thus to ac- j knowledge himself beaten, after finding fault with his senior officer, and obtaining the com mand. Head Quarter's, Army of the South, Fort Jupiter, Feb. 11, 1838. Sir: I reported to die Adjutant General on the 9th inst the operations of this division of the Army, south of this post to that date,and the arrangement w hich I had entered into with the chiefs Tuskeegee andllallek Hago. The arrangement is, that they are to come in witli their families and people, and are to await the decision of the President whether they shall; remain in the country or not I promised to recommend that they r>e permitted to remain, and that a portion of this territory be assigned to them as their residence. # # * # In regard to the Scminoles, we have com mitted the error of attempting to remove them when their lands were not required for agri cultural purposes; when they were not in the way of the white inhabitants ; and when the greater portion of their country was an unex plored wilderness, of the interior of which we ! were as ignorant as of the interior of China. — i Weexhibit, in our present contest, the first in- j stance, perhaps, since the commencement of j authentic history, of a nation employing an ar-1 my to explqre a country, {for we can do little | more than explore it,) or attempting to remove 1 a band of savages from one unexplored wilder ness to another. Asa soldier, it is iny duty, lam aware, not to comment upon the policy of the Govern ment, but to carry it out in accordance with my instructions. I have endeavored faithfully to do so ; but the prospect of terminating the war in any reasonable time is any thing but j flattering. My decided opinion is, that unless } immediate emigration be abandoned, the war will continue for years to come, and at con stantly accumulating expense. # # « * If I were permitted, and it is with great dis- i fidence 1 venture to make the suggestion, I would allow them to remain, and would assign them the country west of the Kissimmee, Okee, Chobee, and Panai Okee, and east of Pease creek, south, to the extreme of Florida. That would satisfy them. * # # # I respectfully recommend the measure to your consideration and that of the President, as the only means of terminating, immediate ly, a most disasterous war, and leaving the troops disposable for other service. I desire a decision as soon as your convenience will permit, as, by the middle of April, at farthest, the troops must be withdrawn from all the posts in the interior, to preserve their lives. * ♦ * # This commnnication will be delivered to you by my aid-de-camp, Lieut. Linnard,a high ly valuable officer, whom I earnestly recom mend to your favorable consideration and at tention. I have the honor to be, most respectfully, your obedient servant, Til. S. JESUP, Ma jor General commanding. The Hon. J. R. Poinsett, Secretary of War, Washington city. ANSWER TO THE ABOVE. Since the above was in type we have receiv ed the following answer, the terms and spirit of which cannot be too highly commended. The Secretary of JVar , to Major General Jcsup , dated, Department of War, March 1, 18*38. Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 11th of February, which was delivered to me by your aid-de-camp, Lieutenant Linnard. The sub ject of it is one of deep interest, and I have given to it the most diligent and respectful con sideration. In the present stage of our relations with the Indians residing within the state and terri tories east of the Mississippi, including the Scminoles, it is useless to recur to the princi ples and motives which induced the govern ment to determine their removal to the west. The acts of the executive and the laws of Congress, evince a determination to carry out the measure, and it is to be regarded as the set tled policy of the country. In pursuance of this policy, the treaty of Payne’s Landing was made with the Seminoles, and the character of the officer employed on the part of ‘me govern ment, is a guarantee of the perfectly fair man ner in which that negociatffin was conducted and concluded. Whether the government ought not to have waited until the Seminoles where pressed upou by the white population, and their lands become necessary to the agri cultural wants of the community, is not a ques tion for the executive now to consider. The treaty has been ratified and is the law of the land, and the constitutional duty of the Presi dent requires that he should cause it to be ex ecuted. I cannot, therefore, authorize any ar rangement with the Seminoles by which they will be permitted to remain, or assign them anv portion of the territory of Florida, as their fu ture residence. The department indulged the hope, that with the extensive means placed at your disposal, the warjiiy a vigorous effort, might be brought to a close this campaign. If, ho wever, you are of opinion that from the nature of the country, and the character of the enemy, such a result is impracticable, and that it is advisable to make a temporary arrangement with the Seminoles, by which the safety of the settlements and the posts will be secured throughout the summer, you are at liberty to do so. In that event, you will establish posts at Tampa, and on the East ern Shore, and wlierever else they are, in your opinion, necessary to preserve the peace of the country: and I would suggest the propriety of leaving Coloael ZadoCk Taylor, of the First Infantry, in command of them. In moving north with your forces, you may make similar arrangements with the other bands. I deem it, however, of great importance that every ex- ertion should be made to chastise the maraud-1 ing Indians, who have committed depredations j upon the inhabitants of the people of Middle Florida. I beg yon will address yourself to Colonel James Gadsden for information on this subject; and you may, If you think proper, yield to his suggestion of leaving a bat talion for the protection of the people in that neighborhood. It is hoped, however, that you will be able to put it out of the power of these Indiana to do any fuither mischief. They ought to be captured or destroyed. As soon j as, in your opinion, it can be done with safety, j yon will reduce your force of mounted men from Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee. Very respectfully, Your most obedient servant, J. R. POINSETT, Maj.Gen.THos. S. Jesup, ConuTg .4rmy of the South, Fort Jupiter, Fa. 1 Canada. We believe all our “patriotic' campaigns,” of which the few last appear to have been the mere riots of the intemperate and degraded, have been drawn to a close. The correspondent of the New York Express, thus speaks of the Michigan patriots: “I have never seen among the Lazzaroni of Naples, or the starved wretches of Ireland, a more miserable, poverty-stricken, wretched set of human beings than the “Patriots.” I doubt if *2OO men could be selected from all our Pen itentiaries, bearing more strongly the marks of a long life of wretchedness than these inva ders of Canada. Not more than a third part had overcoats, and the few garments they had hung in threads and patches about their starv ed persons.” The duties of Gen. Scott on the frontier, be ing thus concluded, Im has returned to Wash ington. The Darien Telegraph of the 20th inst. is jas full of affidavits,as Gen. Jackson’s pocket— The editor, however, does us no more than justice in supposing that our only object in reporting the rumor thus contradicted, was to bring out the truth, and we therefore copy them below.

Further, deponent swears that Capt. Rankin made this statement before deponent, who attended, at the request of Mr. Mac Ardell, to hear what the Captain would say.

THEORIES OF THE AGE OF THE GLOBE. [Quoted by Dr. Buckland in his Bridgewater Treatise.} I “The earth’’ says Burnet, “was first in vested with an uniform light crust, which covered the abyss of tlie sea, and which being broken up for the production of the deluge, formed the mountains fry its | fragments.”—[Theoria Sacra. “The deluge,” says Woodward, “was ! occasioned by a momentary suspension of ; cohesion among the particles* of miueral J bodies. The whole of the Globe was dissolved, and the paetc thus formed bc ' came penetrated with shells.”—[Essay. “God raised up,” says Schcnckzer, “the mountains, for the purpose of ailow ' ing the waters which had produced the | deluge to rnn off, And selected .those pla ces in which were the greatest quantity of ; rocks, without which the mountains could not have supported themselves.”—[Mem. i do l’ Academ. I- “The earth was formed from the nt ! mospherc of one comet, and deluged bv the rain of another. The heat which it | retained from its origin was the cause of 1 exciting its . inhabitants to sin, for which they were all drowned except the fishes, ; which, having . been fortunately exempt j from the heat, remained innocent.” [Whiston, New Theory. ) “The earth is an extinguished sun, a vitrified globe, on which the vapors fall ing down again after it had cooled formed seas, which afterwards deposited the limestone formations.”[Lebnitz Protogiea. “The whole globe was covered with water many thousand years. The water gradually retired. All the land animals i were originally inhabitants of the sea. j Man was originally a fish; and there are ! still fish to be met with in the ocean which are half men, on their progress to ' the perfect human shape, and whose &e --i sceudants will in process of time become ; men.”—[Demaiilet. , “The earth was a fragment of the sun, struck off red-hot by the blow of a eom ! et, together with all the other planets, which were also red-hot fragments. The age of the world, then, can be calculated from the number, of years which it would take to cool so large a mass from a red hot down to its present temperature. But it is of course growing colder every year, and, as well as the other planets, must fi nally be a globe of ice.”—[Bufion Theo rie. - • “All thing* were originally fluid. The waters gave birth to microscopic insects; the insects, in the course of ages, "mag ; uified themselves into larger animals; the animals hi the course, of ages qjQDvert ed a portion of (he water into calcareous earth, tlie vegetables converted anptbCr portion into clay! These two substances in the course of ages converted themself es into silex, and thus the siliceous moun tains are the oldest of all. AH the solid parts of the earth, therefore, owe tlmir existence to life, and without life the globe would still be entirely liquid.” * . [Lanark: This, too, is the favorite mode, among the German philosophers, of accounting for the formation and filling of the world. “The earth is a great animal—-it is alive; a vital -fluid’circulates in it; every particle of it is ip'ivr; it has instiuct and volition, even to the most elementary molecules, which attract and repel each other according to sympathies and antipa thies. Every miner;:! has. the power of converting immense masses into its. own nature, r.s wc convert food into flesh and blood. The mountains arc thfe respirato ry organs of the globe!
