THE REVOLUTION.
In the old world, revolutions are attended
by the martial array of myriads of troops, the
‘destruction of thousands of lives, and the de
vastation of fertile provinces. Pestilence and ;
famine, and liorrors past description, attend !
Ihe progress of unsuccessful or successful 1
Var. In the old world, too, those engaged in
these bloody contests have little interest in
their result To them, led blindfold as they
are, by their hereditary masters, it is a matter
of chance or indifference, whether the change
of rulers they effect, shall be for the better, or
for the worse. In any event, the probability
is, that the people, after suffering the terrible
grievance of disastrous war, will be again
exposed to evils, hardly more endurable, of
taxation and military service.
But it is the supreme excellence of our j
Government and Constitution that it so adapts
itself to the will of the majority and to the j
dominant spirit of the times, whatever it may
be, that Revolutions are consummated in si
lence and good order. The People, too, who
are to be so seriously effected by the result,
guide and develop them for their own ends and
purposes, with their eyes open to the result,
which is intended to be their own prosperity.
We are led to these comparisons and re
marks by the fact, which is obvious, that there
lias taken place within the last year in our
own country, a Revolution more important than
many that have toppled down thrones and em
pires,—a Revolution of public opinion—silent
and noiseless indeed, but still certain and ef
fectual.
As the evidence of this, we present our
readers with the following table, from the
‘New Yorker,’ which exhibits the change of
votes in eighteen States that have held general
elections since 1830:

HOPEFUL.
We are happy to observe, in the movement
of the Opposition to the present Administra
tion, throughout the whole country, a greater
disposition and tendency to cohesion than has
heretofore been found to prevail in their ranks.
This disposition to unite in the one great de
sign of effecting the common object of remov
ing our present Mis-rulers from office, is most
encouraging ; and if no unforeseen events in
terfere, to interrupt a harmony so desirable,
will prove successful. In the very numerous
Convention of the opposition party of Ohio, on
the first of this month we observe, that they re
solved to forego their personal preference for
Gen. Harrison w-w* candidate for the next
Presidency, should his nomination not meet the
views of a General Convention. Such a spirit
nf compromise and mutual concession is most
laudable, and if generally practised will ena
ble the entire opposition of the Country to u
nile in selecting some suitable candidate, up
on whose elevation to the Presidency all shall
a oree. On the other hand, the indulgence of
sectional jealousies and prejudices of personal
preference can only result, as at the last Presi
dential Election, in disgrace and defeat-m
the continued ascendancy of the “Spoils Tar
ty ” and the prolonged misgovernraent and
suffering of the Country.
'BRUNSWICK AND FLORIDA RAILS
ROAD. |
We are happy to extract the following ffcaN
i the Southern Recorder and to be able to add to]
it, from other sources of information, that the
subscriptions procured by Mr. Kino in the
Southern Counties, to the Brunswick and Flor
ida Railroad Stock, amount to about tight hun
dred thousand dollars. If the Western Coun
ties, who have an equal interest in this great
work, subscribe in a like proportion to their
wealth and population, a milion and a half of
dollars will be very speedily raised. This a
mount will suffice to ensure the immediate
commencement and energetic prosecution of
tliis work of internal improvement, second in j
importance to none other in the country.
Internal Improvement—Rail Roads
in Georgia. We understand that Thom
as B. King, Esq., has recently passed ,
through several counties on the route of;
the intended Brunswick and Florida Rail
road, with the object of interesting those
counties in the enterprize. We are hap
py to learn that he has been quite success- j
ful in the furtherance of his object. In '
Lowndes, subscriptions have been obtain
ed to the amount of §BO,OOO, with the
prospeet of making it up to $150,000. In '
Thomas county, subscriptions were taken j
to upwards of two hundred and twenty '
thousand dollars, with the prospect of its j
being doubled. In Decatur, subscriptions
have likewise been taken to a large a
niount, and Mr. King is now progressing I
through other counties, with every pros- j
pect of increased support. We trust and
hope that the work will progress to a
speedy and successful termination.
FROM WASHINGTON.
latest date 12th June. For the last week j
we hear of but very little of interest from Con- !
gross. There has not been during all that 1
length of time a single fight among the mem
bers, though Messrs. White and Grundy of
Tenessee, in the Senate on the 11th inst. very
nearly came to blows in a discussion relating
to an old electioneering campaign. Congress
have however been really hard at work, as is
their custom towards the close of the session,
and though the weather is excessively warm
and great anxiety prevails to leave Washing-!
ton, it does not seem probable that there will j
remain more than the usual amount of unfin
ished business.
In the Senate, many memorials against the
execution of the Cherokee treaty have been j
presented, but no affairs of interest have come
up publicly. We observe they have passed '
some time with closed doors, it is rumored in j
discussioifof the Indian treaties.
In the House, a bill establishing the Terri- j
ritorial Government of Wisconsin has passed. \
It is said that the salaries provided for the J
Governor and Judges are extremely mean and j
niggardly, but we do not observe their amount
stated. To the proposition to pull down the
half built Treasury buildings, the vote stood |
91 to 94, so they will remain for the present, a i
monument of the inefficiency of the Adminis- \
tration, who in four years time and with a quar- i
ter of a million of money, have not been able !
to build the proper offices for the Secretary of j
the Treasury. j
The sub-treasury bill in its present harmless j
form, may possibly pass. The vote, however
| will be so close, and parties are so equally di-
I vided, that an accidental sickness, or absence
\ may decide the matter either way. The House
! has been much occupied in attention to the ;
I claims of pensioners, and in passing a bill to
I punish the forgery of Treasury notes, so that
I little of interest has occurred. Congress will
I n
I probably adjourn on Monday the 9tii July,!
| though the day is not yet decided.
| BANKS OF SOUTH CAROLINA AND
j GEORGIA 1 .
We have indeed fallen upon hard times,
when bankers and brokers rule the roast. It
used,within our remembrance,to be boasted,that
one man’s money was as good as another’s.
But now, alas! the times are changed; and so
far from the maxim continuing to be true, we
find the money—or rather the change notes
and shinplasters—(for in these latter days we
rarely see hard money) both of individuals and
of banks, that are least entitled to credit, in
the most extended and rapid circulation.
We take the following valuable table from
the Augusta Constitutionalist. It is compiled
from official documents, having been prepared
I from the Report of the Sec’y of the Treasury
\ to the Senate of the U. States, dated 7th May
1 last From this statement, it w ill be seen that
I the Banks of Georgia have been conducted
j upon much the more prudent principles of
| Banking. In proportion to their capital, they
have fifty per cent more Specie,and fifty per ct
I less of liabilities. And yet the notes of the
soundest Georgia Banks arc, in a manner, dis
: credited in Charleston, and not received at all
when it can be avoided, or at a very heavy
discount, while the issues of tbo. inflated South
Carolina currency have the preference over
the notes of sound Georgia Banks within the
same distance:

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
» THE WEATHER.
NiliPiis weefe republish our former register
flKffe thermometer from the first of June,
with the additional record of the last week.
Even our neighbors will find reason to admire
the mild and equable climate we enjoy at this
place, since many of them, who reside at the
distance of a few miles only, are beyond the
influence of the sea-breeze, which renders our
location so delightful. The cause of the phe
nomenon is well understood. The direct and
the reflected rays of the sun, striking more
warmly upon the land than upon the sea
cause the air over the land to be rarefied and
to ascend, while the cool air from the sea rush
es in to supply its place. Thus is established
the sea-breeze, of which the influence extends
from ten to thirty miles inland, according to
the heat of the sun, or the influence of other
currents of air. But its regular and certain
influence is felt only immediately upon the
seashore. At this place it sets in without tail
every clear day, during the Summer, and
hence it is, that, in general, the register of the
thermometer at noon, shows no greater degree
of heat than at 7 o’clock, A. M. Brunswick
being much nearer to the sea than any other
Southern city, for this reason, always enjoys a
much cooler temperature than any other.

INDIANS IN THE OKEFINOKESWAMP.
Since our last, we have had an opportunity
of conversing with a volunteer of Camden,
who went on a four days tour of duty under
the command of Maj. Hopkins of Camden.
In two instances, small trails were found lead
ing into the swamp, which to the experienced
seemed to be the tracks of very small parties
of Indians. Beside this, a family at the head
of the SL Mary’s, had observed the tracks of
Indians about their premises.
From the facts thus developed, and from the
intelligence received from thetroops on the
Suwannee, and from West Florida, we may ;
consider it to be well ascertained that a small i
body of Indians have established themselves I
in the Swamp. It is not likely that they can 1
exceed one hundred and fifty or two hundred |
in number. In most maps, we find the whole
country between the head of the St. Mary’s ;
and the Suwannee put down as one vast swamp.
This does not correspond with the truth. There
is between the waters of those two streams n
ridge of more elevated country upon which
are many hammocks and pine islands, which
have never been explored. To this district, it
is said, the Indians have betaken themselves;
and it is even reported that they have planted
there for the season. Whether it will seem
advisable to explore the region in force, (and
without a considerable force it should not be
done,) remains for the Government to decide.
Meantime, the only security of those who re
| main in the vicinity of the swamp, is the pre
sumption, which has so often prov ed fatally mis
! taken, that the Indians will not commence at
; tacks, so long as they remain unmolested.
THE CHEROKEES.
Our advices from the Cherokee country are
jto June 4th. The intelligence still continues
| favorable to the immediate, rapid, and peace
| ful emigration of the Indians. The number
( of the Indians, who have come in to the dis
! ferent depots, preparatory to emigration, is
j now about four thousand, and the contracts for
j removal have, in most cases, been taken bv
; their own chiefs. In this form the removal
will proceed in the most expeditious manner,
and in the mode most agreeable to the Indians
themselves. We observe that General Charles
Floyd has gained the best opinion of all who
have had opportunity to observe and appreci
ate the energy and conduct of his operations
in the command of the Georgia troops.
FROM CANADA.
It appears from the-following, which we ex
tract from the Constitutionalist, that there is
great and increasing excitement in Canada,
arising from the destruction of the British
Steamer Sir Robert Peel, on the American
side; which we gave an account of in our
last Should the disposition to retaliate break
out into further acts of outrage and insult, a
border war would be inevitable. But, as both
the British and American governments are
well aware of this, we may hos»e they will,
( with the utmost promptitude, check any dispo
; sition to excess on either side, and preserve
| the peace of our frontier.
Sir John Colburn arrived in Montreal on the
sth inst, with several officers of the armv, and
; left immediately for Upper Canada. ' The
Montreal Herald says: “His Excellency will
inspect Fort Henry, and give the necessary or
ders for erecting fortifications along the fron
tier, in ease of a general war, now becoming
I nwre probable every day.
. Knrl °*" Durham has issued a proclama
tion offering a reward of a thousand pounds
i for the apprehension of any individuals con- 1
nccted with the recent outrage on the Sir:
Robert Peel, and exhorts her majesty's sub-
ijects, “not withstanding the aggnfrfßted provo
cation they have received, carefully to 4bstain
| from any act of retaliation, which may expose
them to the imputation of a disregard of their
i own honor, by a violation of the internal rights
iof adjoining powers.” Sir George Arthur has
also issued a proclamation of a similar char
acter, but containing less conciliatory lan
guage. He charges the outrage upon citizens
of the United States, and insists that redress
should be immediately demanded of our Gov
ernment. The 85th regiment and the three re
maining companies of the 54th, together with
the detachment just arrived to join that regi
ment, received orders for Upper Canada. The
| Coldstream Guards wore expected to set off
! immediately.
Troops are to be stationed at all the points
most exposed along the frontier, and large
reinforcements are ordered into the Upper
Province from Quebec, to garrison the fortifi
cations.
The persons who fired upon the Steamboat j
Telegraph, were immediately arrested and
lodged in jail. It is to be hoped that the i
prompt exercise of authority on botli sides
will have the effect to prevent a recurrence of
such disgraceful transactions.
CHEROKEE DOCUMENTS.
We give below the reply of Mr. Secretary
Poinsett to Gov. Gilmer, from which it appears
that notwithstanding the negotiations in pro-'
gress at Washington, for the removal of the
Cherokces, there will be no unnecessary delay
in effecting their immediate removal. The
troops, both of the United States and of Geor
gia, will proceed as if no such negotiation had
been commenced, and the entire removal will
be completed at the earliest practicable date, j
From the Secretary of War to the Governor,
of Georgia.
War Department, June 3, 1838. |
Sir: I have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your Excellency’s reply to my com
munication, conveying the proposals made by
the Executive to the Cherokee delegation, and
the instructions to Gen. Scott; and from the
tenor of your remarks I cannot but suppose
that your Excellency must have misapprehend
ed the true meaning and intent of the Govern
ment.
The question of prolonging the time of the
removal of the Cherokces is expressly refer
red to the States by this Department, and
such extension was not intended to embrace a
longer period than that which might be re
quired by a due regard to the common dictates
of humanity; it being expressly stated that
the Cherokces were to be removed as speedily
as was consistent with their healtli and com
fort. Gen. Scott is, moreover, instructed to
continue the prosecution of the measures he
had adopted to remove the Indians, and wheth
er their removal is to be effected by compul
sion or by voluntary emigration under their
own agerts, so to conduct his operations as to
place the proprietors of the lands there, in pos
session of their property, with us little delay as
possible. These instructions certainly do not!
warrant the supposition that the Government I
consents that Ross and his friends shall rc-j
main two years longer; on the contrary, the j
orders of the Government are most positive
that the Indians are to be removed from Geor- j
i gia first, and from the other States ns speedi
j ly as practicable; and your Excellency may be
assured, from the character of the officer en
| trusted with their execution, that these orders
I will be carried into effect without any unnec-
I essary delay. The Department cannot there
fore perceive any cause for the apprehension
your Excellency seems to entertain of a colli
> sion bstween the authorities of the State and
the General Government.
I fully concur with your Excellency in opin-
I ion “that the Indians can be removed from the
State in the execution of the treaty, and by
the troops now organized and stationed in the
country with that avowed purpose, with more
ease and expedition, and a readier acquiescence
on the part of the Indians, than by any means
in the power of tliis State;” (meaning Georgia,)
and I beg leave to reiterate to your Excellen
cy the assurance that thetroops will be em
ployed, not in opposing, but in vindicating,
| the rights of the States interested in the ful
■ filmcut of the treaty, and in establishing, with
out unnecessary delay, their citizens in the
possession of theiP property in the Cherokee
country. All parties must desire that this may
be effected rather by the voluntary emigration
of the Indians than by the application of force,
a resort to which, the Government desires
most ?a mostly to avoid if possible.
Very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,
J. It. POINSETT.
His Excellency George It. Gilmer,
Go\ernor of Georgia, Milledgeville, Ga.

A wealthy Corporation. Trinity Church
in this city, a corporation which is chartered
for $4,000,000, holds property to the amount of
12 or 13 millions. It is managed by 40 trus
tees who have appropriated SIOO,OOO as the
Bishop’s tend, which makes his salary about
s*>ooo per annum, besides perquisites. This
property is principally in real estate, and as
the charter does not permit the institution to i
hold over SIOO,OOO in money, the bulk of the j
income is invested in various kinds of produc
tive securities as fast as collected. The an- J
nual addition to the original fund, therefore, is
Very heavy, and will in a few years swell the
sum total to an immense amount. If the trus
tees do not devise some means for spending
the yearly produce of this great estate, the
influence of Mr. Biddle and his big hank will
soon be as nothing compared with that of Trin
ity Church and its dependencies.
Procrastination is the thief of money
in the affair of Mexico with the French.
It is mentioned that the demands of the
blockading squadron have increased, with
delay, from eight hundred thousand dol
lars to one million five hundred thousand
dollars j and the rise is to continue as long
as the petitioners have to wait. This is
a good old rule in blockading. It pays
(lie fleet’s expenses, while at the same
time it goads oil the debtors to a settle
ment. If the exactions continue to aug
ment in the same proportion, silver can
dlesticks will he required to help out their
liquidation. The Mexicans arc too much
exhausted to cut one another’s throats,
much less to contest with a powerful na
tion, and they w ill find their account in
subscribing to the admiral’s conditions.
[National Gazette.
An Over-paid-for Reputation.— A
female went one day last week or the
week before, the period is variously stated,
into the shop of a respectable inercer in
this town, and having purchased some
articles, renderd a note in payment. The
shopman looked at the note, and, to his
amazement, saw that it w as lor the sum of
,=£soo. He asked the young woman if she
knew what she had given him. She said,
“Yes, sir: it is a five pound note.” The
young man immediately went and informed
his principal, who called the woman behind
the counter. She appeared greatly sur
prised when she was informed of the
amount of the note, and, in reply to the
questions of the master, said, she was
chambermaid at one of the hotels in the
town, and had received the hill from a
gentleman who had made her a present
of it. The landlord of the hotel w'as
immediately sent tor, and the result was,
so goes the story, that the female was
taken before Mr. Hall, who heard the case
in private. The gentleman who owned
the note, it is said, appeared, and stated,
that he had given it in mistake. The
female, however, refused to deliv r up
the note, saying, that as they had chosen
to take her there and ruin her character,
she was determined to keep the money as
a compensation. The conclusion of the
story is, that Mr. Hall said, he had no
power to compel her to give it up, and lie
discharged her. [ Liverpool paper.
A great sensation has been created in
London, by the publication of a sort of
scandalous chronicle,entitled “Memoirs of
the Times of George IV’.” being a very full
and plain speaking diary, kept it seems by
a lady who was attached to the person of
Queen Caroline for several years. There
appears to he no doubt of its authenticity,
and the papers give large and numerous
extracts, which give some remarkable
pictures of high life and distinguished per
sonages.—Among other things it is staled,
as from the lips of Queen Caroline
that on her bridal night her roya? husband
got so drunk, that he was left ijing help
