Sunday. The entire nuiS>er saved, so far as
ascertained, is, therefoxe^fifty-nine.
VVe feel warranted. from the circumstan
ces, in expressing some ground of hope that a
portion of the passengers and crew who occu
pied the stern of the Pulaski, just after the ex
plosion occurred, have been saved. It will be
recollected that the Captain of the schr Active,
arrived here on Thursday from N. York, stat
ed that he encountered on the 19th inst. last
Tuesday, what he aupposed to be “a part of
the after cabin” of the Pulaski. It is reason-
able, therefore, to conclude that at least some
portion, if not nearly the whole, of the passen
gers who had resorted to the stern of the P.
for safety, were taken off by some of the nu
merous vessels gointpdrom Southern to North
ern ports, in the period which elapsed from
the time of the explosion, on Thursday night,
to the subsequent Tuesday, when the schr Ac
tive met with this part of the steamer.
[From the Charleston Courier, 23d inst.]
The passengers saved on the bow of
the boat report, that for an hour after the
boat broke into three pieces, they saw the
binder portion of the stern elevated in the
air, with 50 or GO persons, chiefly ladies !
and children upon it; and that the schr.
Active , as reported yesterday, passed a por
tion of the wreck, supposed to be the after
cabiu, on Tuesday last,betwen 6 and 7 o’
elk, A.M. and was near enough to ascetain
that there was no one clinging to it, there
is hope then that some, or all of those who
once clung there had been previously taken
off. It is melancholy to reflect that in
this case, the proper steps were not taken
to rescue more of the sufferers. Several
hours elapsed, even after the North Car
olina arrived, here, with the disastrous in
telligence of the fate of the Pulaski,
before those who have been saved, where j
rescued from their imminent peril by the !
Henry Cameron. The disaster happened
on Thursday night about 11 o’clock and
it was not until the Tuesday morning fol
lowing that succor reached them; they in
the mean time feeding scantily on rawflour,.
their only viand.and quenching their thirst
with water sucked from their clotlies.vvhich
■were soaked with a providential rain on
Sunday. Had vessels been despatched
from Wilmington, as soon as the intelli
gence was received or had the North
Carolina diverted from her course, for the
purpose, the result might have been much
Jess fatal.
The error of the first mate, in supposing j
and stating that the steamer had gone,
down in 45 minutes after the explosion, j
when in fact she had only broken into
three parts, may partly account for this
strange neglect, but does not furnish a !
sufficient excuse for it, when it is consid- j
ered that he expressly added that when he
and his party left the scene of the calamity
“they started in the midst of the wailing
of the hopeless beings, who were floating
around in every direction upon pieces of
wreck, to seek land, which was about 30
miles distant. Intelligence like this should
have caused that part of the ocean to
have been literally alive with boats, in the
service of humanity.
There is another portion of the intelli
gence below, on which we cannot forbear
a comment. We allude to the following
passage—“lt is further positively stated
that during the whole passage, within 'it)
minutes of the catastrophe, the steam
guage cock indicated from 27 to 29 incit
es of steam.” —A fact which very conclu
sively accounts for the dire result and
bears with a heavy weight of criminality
<on the responsible quarter.
Wilmington, June 21.
The North Carolina went out yesterday
as soon as she could get ready after her
arrival, and returned this morning, saw
some of the wreck, but no living soul.
The pilot boats arc all out in pursuit, the
brig Hibernian arrived this morning and
reports having fallen in with the stern of
the Pulaski, which part of the boat was
said to have the greatest number on it,
therefore it is highly probable it had been
fallen in with before, and the persons
taken off— she says it was yesterday, but
another boat has gone out from Smithville
to take the bearing and distance of it, and
will board it and get all they can; the
weather is fine, and the wreck floating
Eolith, so that we are almost sure we will
hear of more being saved.
We copy the following additional particu
lars from the Fayetteville Observer of the 21st
“Seven persons died on one ot the pieces of
the wreck the day before they were fallen in
with amon<r them the Rev. Mr. Woart, of the
Episcopal Church, and lady. To such extrem
ities had the sufferers been reduced, that the
dav of their deliverance had been fixed on as
'the fatal day to sdtd by lot a victim to appease
the cravings of hunger! !

intense and universal interest that 1
is felt in the fate of the survivors of the de
struction of the Pulaski, obliges us to publish
.all the particulars we have received of that
melancholy event, to the exclusion of much
editorial and miscellaneous matter.
GOVERNOR GILMER.
The Union Press throughout the State have j
made it a matter of bitter attack upon Gov. j
Gilmer, that in March last, he had the humani
ty to write to John Ross, and to use his influ
ence with him to effect a peaceable and im
mediate removal of the Cherokees. From the
fact of his having written that letter, he has
been charged by many unscrupulous presses
with having privately recommended the nego
tiation, proposed by Ross to the Secretary of
War, and with the intention to delay the j
Cherokee Emigration for two years. Those j
who have carefully watched the course of!
Governor Gilmer throughout this whole ne- j
gotiation, and have thoroughly examined his !
correspondence must be convinced, without
further evidence, that his only motives have I
been, to procure the earliest emigration of the j
Indians, and to put the present owners of the
soil in possession, at a date early enough to
take advantage of the present season in im
proving it. We are happy however to place
this matter entirely at rest by the following ex
tract from the Millodgevillc Recorder, which,
proceeding from the best authority, confirms j
the impressions we have previously entertain-1
ed : . |
“Governor Gilmer did nut know of the j
proposals made to Ross by the Secretary 1
of I I ar, until they were communicated to
Congress; neither had hr said nor done any '
thing expressly or impliedly, before or of-
ter, that would justify the making of those
proposals. After the President had inform
ed Ross that all negotiation for altering
or re-modeling the treaty of 1835, was at
an end, and Congress had rejected his
memorial, by a decided majority, Gover
nor Gilmer addressed the Secretary ot
War and John lloss, for the purpose if
possible, of hastening the removal of the
Indians before the expiration of the treaty,
through the instrumentality of Ross, who
could have accomplished it, if he would.
| We have procured these letters with some
others in connection with the same sub
ject, which we place before the people
of Georgia. So far from conveying any
false hopes in relation to the execution of
the treaty, the very first sentence of the let
iter to Ross, is an absolute assurance,
i that it would most certainly be executed
| at the appointed period.
The efforts of Governor Gilmer to put
our citizens in possession of their lands,
"in time to make crops during the year, by
| anticipating the time limited in the treaty
, for the removal of the Indians, will not be
j unappreciated by those who know the im
portance of the object; nor will the human
| ity which urged the removal of those de
j luded beings, before the time arrived
, when they would be hunted up and driven
I out at the point of the bayonet, be unap
preciated by a civilized, enlightened and
generous people.
RAILROAD FROM THE ATLANTIC TO
THE GULF OF MEXICO.
We take the following valuable extract!
from the Columbus Enquirer. In regard to !
the information desired from here as to the j
prospects of the Brunswick and Florida Rail--I
road, we gave it mostly by anticipation in ours
of last week, in which we stated, that in the
Southern Counties, eight hundred thousand
dollars had already been subscribed, and that
even a larger amount could he expected from
the Western Counties, which are more weal
thy, and quite as much interested in the con
struction of this road. The route of this
Railroad was surveyed two years since, and
from the examination of the Engineers, it may
he confidently stated, that for economy and fa
cility of construction, the route of no railroad
jin the world equals it. • For the first one hun
-1 dred and twenty miles from this place, its loca
! tion is upon a perfectly straight line, with
i grades which would not average six feet per
mile, an instance unparalleled in the history of
i Internal Improvements. The only points of
! difficult and expensive work upon the whole
I route, are at the crossing of the Santilla and
| Alappapaha rivers all the other watercourses
j being of small account and crossed near their
sources.
1 DIRECT COMMUNICATION WITH THE
ATLANTIC COAST.
1 “The construction of a Rail Road from the
! South Atlantic to the Gulf, would exhibit a
most important line of communication, noton
| ly in relation to commercial advantages, but
| to the increased facilities afforded to the Mili
itary and Naval defence of the South Atlan
j tic and Mexican Gulf frontier.”—[letter from
Cupt. Wm. H. Chase, U. S. Engineer.
; \\ r e are happy to oee the above declaration
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
i fro nr* man of science and acknowledged ex
perience jn his profession. . The importance of
such communication is beginning, we hope, to
be felt in such a way as to result in some unit
ed and energetic efforts on the part of all con
cerned. The very extensive and productive
region of country west of the Alataniaha must
have a direct intercourse with the Atlantic, or
from this time forward measurably lose its im
portance. Even in oUr own City this is now,
realised. The simple transportation of many I
articles amounts to more than their actual cost
in die northern cities. We are too far dis
tant, by our present means of communication,
from both the Adantic and the Gulf, to enjoy
the advantages of either. The only question
then is this. Is there a harbor sufficiently safe
and capacious, to which a communication can
be established? The late survey of the South j
Atlantic coast exhibits die faetdiat the harbors
of Brunswick, Darien, and St. Mary's, all, or
any of them, are amply sufficient, —that of the
first is said to be superior to any on the coast.
We heard some time sftice, that the enterpris
ing individual engaged in the project of con
necting this port with the waters of our river,
and die west, had every prospect of success, j
Cannot the Brunswick Advocate give us some i
information on this point? The people of this
region feel a deep interest in the success of!
the scheme. It matters not to them to what!
point the communication is opened, nor who
the men engaged in the enterprise. If Bruns
wick will afford facilities, they will embrace
them with the greatest pleasure. That per
haps is the most central point on the coast.
The harbor we know to be fine, the site heal
thy, and exceedingly eligible. Is there too
little public spirit in Georgia, too little regard
for our own immediate and permanent inter
ests, to urge us forward in this undertaking?
JYow is the time, if ever. East of us the great
outlet must necessarily be Charleston—on the ;
west the cities of die Gulf will give our neigh
bors there many advantages ill competidon. 1
As these arrangements are perfected, fraction j
after fraction of the community immediately ;
interested will be broken off, and bound by ,
their interest to one side or the other; our pow- j
er will be destroyed—the planter and the mer
chant will be compelled to submit to their pres
ent inconvenient and expensive mode of trans
portation. Our energy will be broken, and with j
a productive soil, an enterprising popula
tion, and sources of wealth almost unequalled,
we must become tributary to others. Is not
this the fact? Columbus, particularly, is des
tined one day to become ail extensive manu
facturing City. Nature has evidently intend
ed some such results. If checked now, or ra
ther, if her powers and facilities are not now
developed, capital will flow into other channels, j
and years must pass away before another such
opportunity may offer. Our destiny, as a city, i
is linked almost inseparably with the project of !
a direct communication to the Atlantic coast, j
It is to be hoped that the next Legislature j
will take this matter seriously into considera- J
tion, and make ample appropriations. In these j
“disjointed times,” the arm of individual enter- j
prise is fettered— governments only can sue- j
ceed in obtaining the necessary funds for the \
promotion of such extensive works. Other i
States arc progressing untrammelled. Ken-1
tucky has just obtained a loan of a million and
a half, on very advantageous terms. New
Vork has appropriated seven millions to the j
extension of her lines of Canal and Railroad. |
Let ns not fall behind the spirit of the age. I
Sir James Mclntosh, in 1812, writes from In-1
dia, and says “I have just read in an American j
paper, of a passage yacht on the North River, j
which progresses against wind and tide at the '■
astonishing rate of five miles per hour! B 7»/ ,
were we not born a century later?' How noble
spirited the aspirations of this great philoso
pher and statesman? How clearly did he per
ceive, in the incipient efforts of Fulton, the in
fluence of mind and enterprise on the business
relations of life? When that century shall
; have terminated, his vision will be fully realis
[ ed. One quarter of it lias gone and what has
Georgia done? Greater activity must charac
terise her future course, or the same question
may be scornfully asked in 1912.
NEW ERA IN STEAM NAVIGATION, j
If all we hear from New York be true, the j
success of Capt. Cobb’s new Steamer De- J
spatch is certain; and by the invention of
I’hineas Bennett,who invented and constructed !
the engines of this boat, four fifths of the fuel, j
heretofore used in the production of steam, j
may be saved. The immense importance of I
this invention, as regards the navigation of the
ocean, will readily be appreciated. The great
weight and expense of fuel required, is the
only serious obstacle to the perfect success
and very general introduction of steam navi
gation for all purposes of marine transporta
tion. The Great Western, for instance, is
obliged to carry eight hundred tons of coal.
With engines of Mr. Bennett’s invention, she
would produce as great a power with one hun
dred and eighty tons, and beside, thus saving
the purchase of six hundred and twenty tons
of coal, would have room enough on board for
six hundred and twenty tons of freight. This
would at once decide the question, which is
still (joubtful, whether the steam navigation of
the ocean can be continued with profit—or,
what amounts to the same thing, whether it
can be continued at all.
The design of Mr. Bcnnet’s engine, as it
has been explained to us, is as follows: The
engine itself is a simple non-condensing en
gine, commonly called a high pressure engine;
though it is well known by those who are con
versant with these matters, that the steam us
ed in such engines is neither necessarily, nor
usually, worked at less pressure than in the
engines falsely called low pressure, as witness
the destruction of the Pulaski. One half of
the whole power of Bennett’s engine is devot
ed to working a blowing machine, made in the
same manner as those of blast furnaces, by
which a powerful blast of air is driven through
the fire, and with all the heat and gases there- i
from, directly into the boiler itself. By this
means the immense waste of ’ :at from the
smoke flue is avoided; though we should sup
pose that the disadvantage of renewing a fire j
so enclosed as this must be, of working so 1
much dirt through the Steam cylinder, and of
losing so much power by the blast machinery, 1
would more than counterbalance the advan-1
tage proposed. But, from the following ex
tra* from the New York American, it eeetus
that a successful trial of the boat on the 13th
insl has dispelled the anticipations of failure,
and we most earnestly trust, that in a longer
| vojAge, the expectations now excited may be
j fullr realised, and may raise the fame of Phiu
: eaaßennett, for ingenuity in invention, and as
Ia bdnsfactor of mankind, to the same proud
leve’ with James Watt and Robert Fulton.
A half pest ten o’clock, the Despatch left
pier No. I, North River, and proceeded (at the
rateof twelve miles an hour,) to Sandy Hook,
usiiif but one furnace or boiler. During the
progess a change was made, from one boiler
to a father, in the short space of three minutes.
Oi arriving abreast of the eastern buoy of
the Spit, the ship was put about and returned
to tb?city, passing pier No. 1, her place of de
part ire, at precisely twenty minutes past two
o’clock; having performed more than 8G miles
in thxc hours and fifty minutes, one half the
distaice against a strong flood tide—and us
ing duly one and one eighth of a cord of teood.
Oi the way up a meeting of the passengers
was erganized by choosing
David A. Wells, Esq., President.
tkut. Perry, U. S. N. and Reuberw I’eale,
Vice Presidents.
Gaft. Cowden, and Mr. Wells, Secretaries.
Resolutions expressing the gratification ex
perieiced by the company, and a conviction
of thi success of the experiment, were unani
mousy adopted.
Th* Rev, Dr. Cox briefly addressed the
meeting in a tacetiousand happy style.
Thf experiment may be considered as en
tirelysuccessful, and, we presume, that Capt.
Cobb will soon be on the way to the Eastern
world in bis American steamer.
We have the following from an esteemed
correipondent residing at St. Mary’s. The
correitness of the particulars may be depend
ed upm :
Juie 17. The steamer Charleston, Capt
Hebtnrd, arrived here this evening from Black
Creek. Col. Twiggs, U. S. A. on board, in
formed me that the chief body of Indians are
at “FUrida point,” and beyond, on the penin
sula ; that they are in a state of ease and quiet,
hebeleves, they (the Indians) having met with
no disturbance there. He also informs me
that the report of Indians near the Camden line j
(this county) do not exceed ten in number, and j
that he lias two mounted companies in pursuit j
of than with orders to pursue them until they j
trail them out. So you will perceive that our j
section has nothing to apprehend from this j
luindful, which any half dozen of our Centre
villc hunters could whip with ease. The Col. I
still lias a good force in Florida of mounted
dragoons.” j
THE CHEROKEES.
The Southern Recorder of the 19th inst.
says: “Our information warrants the belief
that the Georgia Cherokees who are not al
ready on their way to their new home, (and a
i large number we are informed, have been
! shipped) are, ere this, at Ross’ Landing, on
; the Tennessee river, ready to follow those who
j are gone. There are no longer any Cherokees
j in Georgia, and the removal lias been accom
! plished with the utmost humanity, and with
| every attention to the coinfort of the Indians.”
FLORIDA.
It seems that the Indians in the interior of
Florida, have it pretty much as they please
since tlie summer has fairly set in. We learn
that they have burnt two bridges on the Onith
lacoociie and that Fort Dade has been aban
doned by our troops. It is said that Gen.
Taylor is about to cross Florida with fifteen
companies in the hope of meeting them.
FROM TEXAS.
Our latest date from Texas is to the 10th
inst. The Texian Congress adjourned the
j last of May. Gen. Lamar was the popular
I candidate for the next’ Presidency, and no
doubt was entertained of his election. The
trade in the interior of Texas by means of
steamboats is, it seems, becoming quite consid
erable.
THE ARMY.
The excitement and spirit of retaliation must
indeed iave reached an alarming pitch, as we
1 observe by the Army and Navy Chronicle,
| that Mij. Gen. Macomb, the Commander in
Chief of the Army, has proceeded to the Lakes
to take the command in person. From this
| movement we should not be surprised to hear
I of serious acts of outrange and destruction of
British property near the lines. It is evident
our weak Government are thoroughly alarmed
and anxious to avoid even the chance of col
! lision.
j THE STEAMER GREAT WESTERN,
l arrived at New York on the 17th, in fifteen
j days from England. She brings no news from
| Europe of so great importance as that estab
lished by the fact of her arrival, that hereafter
we shall have constant and rapid communica
tion w ith Europe by means of steamers. She
has thus made three passages across the At
i lantic in the unparalleled spaoe of sixty-nine
! days, including her detention at New York
j and Bristol.
Prince Talleyrand died at Paris, on the 17th
ult in the 84tli year of his age.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool is rather
flat, hut the price remains about the same—say
for sea island from 17d. to 2s.

in point of popularity, and perhaps the ablest
on the ticket lately nominated by the Union
party for Congress, has declined.

INDIANS IN THE OKEFINOKESWAMP.
We take the following from the Milledge
ville Recorder, from whicli it appears what
measures are in train to dislodge the small
force of Indians that have taken refuge in the
Okefinoke Swamp.
Department of War, }
June 14,1838. $
Sir:—l have had the honor to receive your
Excellency’s letter of the 9th inst, and its en
closures in reference to the retreat of some
Indiana into the Okefinoke swamp, and to
the necessity of affording protection to the
inhabitants of the country adjacent thereto,
from their depredations.
In reply, I have yie honor to inform you
that Gen. Taylor, the Commanding Officer, in
Florida, has been Apet rue ted to send a force to
that section, for of affording prop
er protection to the inhabitants. It is expect
ed that he will be able to detach this force
from that now in the service; but if he should
not be, he has ample authority to raise such
militia force as he may require.
In respect to sending an officer to supply the
militia already embodied in that section for op
erations against those Indians, I am sorry to
inform you that the Department has not an of
ficer for such duty at its disposal.
Very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,

Robbery or the Express Mail. The
Express Mail between Charleston and Colum
bia, was robbed on Saturday night last, about
40 miles from the former place. The boy was
taken from his horse by two men and tied to a
tree, after which they took the mail bag, cut
it open, and rifled it of its contents. The
boy after remaining bound for an hour, suc
ceeded in releasing himself by his own exer
tions, and alarmed some of tiie inhabitants in
the vicinity, who after a search, found the bag
and letters in a mutilated condition, and the
same were returned to the Post Office in
Charleston. The persons who committed this
robbery must have been very ignorant, to risk
their lives in robbing this mail, when it is gen
erally known that by order of the Post Master
General no money is allowed to bo conveyed in
it.—[Augusta Constitutionalist.

A Texas Tavern. A tavern has lately
been opened on a rather diminutive scale near
Houston, Texas, contrasting in a most striking
! manner with the extensive manner in which
{ most things are conducted in that Republic.
| It seems, according to the Telegraph, that a
i gentleman riding along the road discovered an
old soldier by the way side, silting very con
tentedly under a blanket stretched horizontal
ly across the tops of four upright stakes. A
candle box was before him answering the pur
pose of a table, on which were placed a small
jug, and the better half of a broken bottle. Not
understanding the object of all these prepara
tions he stopped to enquire of the soldier what
he was doing there—“keeping tavern sir,” was
the ready answer, “will you take something to
drink?”
A Banteu. We have been desired to
say to our good friends in Alabama, who
are fond of horse racing, that the follow
ing banter is open for their consideration,
and will stand open till the first of Sep
tember next, to wit: Georgia will run
against Alabama at the fteXt fall meeting,
at this place, for £5,000 a side—the horse
to be named at the starting post. Or in
other words a horse now owned in Geor
gia, wiil he run 'against any horse now
owned in Alabama, on the Monday pro
ceeding the fall meeting, over “the West
ern Course of Georgia,” which will take
place in October next, for five or ten
thousand dollars, pay or play, 4 mile heats,
to be run under the direction of the Club.
This banter is made only with a view to
introduce a grade of sporting snfiicieutly
high and interesting to bring together a
large concourse of citizens and strangers,
and render the sports of the turf worthy
the attention of gentlemen of fortune and
leisure. This place being the dividing
line between Georgia and Alabama, no
point could be more suitable for running
a large match. [Columbus Sentinel, 7th

The Italian Fisherman. The Mar
quis Del la Scalas, an Italian nobleman,
j having invited the neighboring gentry to
! a grand entertainment, where all the deli-
I cacies of the season were provided —some
I of the company arrived very early, for the
| purpose of paying their respects to his ex
cellency. Soon after this, the majo-domo
entering the dining room in Jkgreat hurry,
told the Marquis, that there was a most
wonderful fisherman below, who had
brought one of the finest fish in all Italy;
for which, however, he demanded a most
extraordinary price. “Regard not his
price,” said the Marquis, “pay him the
money directly.” “So I would, please
your highness, but he refuses to take any
money.” “What then would the fellow
have?” “An hundred strokes of the strap
pado on his bare back, my lord; he says
he will not bate a single blow.” On this.
the jfliole company ran downstair*. Jose

the Marquis ; " what is jronr demand, my.

answered the fisherman; “I will not take

fisherman then stripped, and the groom
prepared to execute his lordship’s orders.
"Now iny friend,” said the fisherman,
“keep an exact account, I beseech you;
for I don’t desire a single stroke more
than my due.” The whole compatty were
astonished at the amazing fortitude with
which the man submitted to the opera

when addressing himself to theserrant—
“Hold, my friend,” cried the fisherman,”
“I have now had my'fbll share of the
price.”' "Your share," eried the Mar
quis ; “what is the meaning of all this?”
"My lord, returned the fisherman, "1 have
a partner, to whom my honor js engaged,
that he shall have his full share of what
ever I receive for the fish; and your lord
ship, I dare venture to say, will by and by
own, that it would be a thousand pities to
defraud him of a single stroke." "Add
pray, honest friend,” said the marquis,
“who is this partner?” Your partner, my
lord,” answered the fisherman, "who
keeps the outer gate, and refused to ad
mit me, unless I would promise him half
what I should obtain for the fish.” "Ho!-
Ho!” exclaimed the marquis, laughing
very heartily, "but he shall have double
the demand, in good tale.” The porter
was accordingly sent for, and being strip
ped to the skin, two grooms were ordered
to lay on with all their might, until be
had fairly received what he was SO"
well entitled to. The marquis then or
dered his steward to pay the fisherman
twenty sequins—desiring him to call an
nually for the like sum, as a recompense
lor the friendly services he had rendered
him.
Goethe at three years of Age.—
He did not like playing with little children:
unless they were very pretty. Once he 1
began to cry and shriek, " the black child
shall get out, I can’t bear it;’?, neither dkfc
he cease crying till he got home, when bis
mother asked him how he coold be so
naughty; lie could not console himself"
for the child’s ugliness. He was then three
years old. For his little sister Cornelia,,
while she was yet in the cradle, he bad
the strongest affections; he brought her
every thing, and wanted to feed and nurse
her alone, and was jealous when any one
took tier out of the cradle, in which he
was her ruler; his anger then knew no
bounds; and, indeed, he was much easier
brought to anger then to tears.
