THE CHARLESTON FIRE.
We do not know of a more remarkable sub
ject for admiration than the conduct of the
citizens of Charleston, and of the State of
South Carolina, under the severe pressure of
their late calamitous fire. Instead of yielding
to so unexpected a blow, in the disappoint
ment and despair, which such an immense loss
might well have occasioned, in times so severe,
the first'intelligence and energies, not only of
the citizens of Charleston, but of the whole
Estate of South Carolina, were immediately di
rected to repairing the loss, and preventing
the recurrence of a similar one in future. In
this, they have been somewhat aided by the
good feeling, which has every where been
manifested towards the more indigent suffer
ers, by most liberal contributions. But upon
their own wonderful vigor, aml upon the good
understanding that exists between the City
and the State, do they mainly rely for support
under their losses, and for a continuance of
rapid growth and prosperity. Immediately af
ter the conflagration, an extra session of the
Legislature was called, and a State loan of
four millions of dollars was declared, which
should be advanced to those of the sufferers
by fire who desired to rebuild, on the security
of theii land, and of the buildings they should
erect upon it. In the meantime, some build
ings ere already in progress in the burnt dis
trict, and the next season will undoubtedly be
hold its complete restoration in an architecture
much improved and better secured against
fire.
YVc do not make the above recapitulation of j
facts, which we have already announced in
our print, forthe sake of the intelligence con-;
tained in them, for that is already familiar to
our readers, but because there is a most im
portant lesson to be learned from them, well
worthy of the attention of every Georgian.
Charleston is most emphatically the City of;
the South. It is the only large market on the |
Atlantic coast south of Baltimore; for, if we j
except the article of Cotton, the market of;
Savannah is very small, is very easily stocked :
and overstocked, and its prices in consequence
are most unstable and fluctuating. Now, to
what is it owing, that the City of Charleston
with a harbor rather difficult of entrance, and
neitiser very secure or capacious, already cen
tralises a great portion of the Southern trade?
The voice of public opinion, so recently ex
pressed at Augusta, and the approaching com
munication of the South with the West, must j
immediately give a great impulse to Southern
commerce; and this great benefit Charleston j
bids fair to appropriate to her sole advantage, i
and to hold for her own separate use and be- j
hoof.
\Y r c do not wish to be understood to find
fault with these prospects. On the contrary,
wc are compelled to admire the spirit and en
terprise which aspires to so worthy objects,:
and which adopt means so likely to accomplish
their ends. YY’e arc only anxious to hold
up'such an example to public view, that it
may be not only appreciated, but imitated. To
the cherishing care of South Carolina, Charles
ton owes its success, and the pre-eminence it
has been, and is, able to maintain. In the day
of its commercial adversity, South Carolina
built the Augusta railroad and revived her, —
in the day of her calamity, she has restored her
burned buildings and administered to her sup
port By such rner.ns, and by a long course of
liberal patronage, has Charleston been built
up by her parent State, till she has become a
city, of which the whole South are proud, and to
which the whole South are tributary. Not
only the public works of Carolina, but
those of Georgia and tire YY r estern States,
will pour wealth into her lap, and no career of
prosperity can be imagined more magnificent
than that now opening before her.
And where are the cities of Georgia, while
this tide of commerce is breaking upon our
coast? They will most assuredly remain in
the back ground, unnoticed and unimportant,
unless upheld and patronized by the strong
arm of the State. With harbors deeper, more
secure and more healthy than any upon the
Atlantic coast to the southward of Y’irginia,
—with superior facilities for establishing com
munications both with the west and with the
Gulf of Mexico, Georgia will still remain
but an a'djeotivo to South Carolina arid Charles
ton, unless she will arouse and partake largely
and liberally in .the policy of Internal Im
}movement. While New York, Pennsylvania,
and-Ohio, have invested eighty millions in
public works, —while Indiana, Illinois, and
Kentucky, have embarked in the same policy
to the extent of forty millions more, and while
these States, from their experience of the ben
efit of the works they have completed, are on
ly excited to undertake new labors. Georgia
’ still hangs back, or at least, has seemed thus
far to take but little concern in a policy all
important to her welfare. It cannot be, that
I an apathy so regardless of her commercial in
| terests, so neglectful of her cities, and so in
jurious to the population and settlement of her
j back country, should longer prevail. YVe are
i happy to observe in the press of all parties,
unanimity upon this point, that the patronage
| of great public works is the true policy of the
j State, and with the example and experience of
j South Carolina and Charleston before her as a
mark of emulation, and a guide, we may fairly
! anticipate from the next Legislature, a more
I liberal contribution to our public works, and a
well directed attention to the interests of our
sea-ports and their connexion with the back
country.
FROM YVASHINGTON.
Latest date 2d inst. As Congress approach j
the close of the session, the despatch of busi- j
ness is much increased. In both Houses, there !
has been much confusion of opinion since the j
defeat of the administration upon their sub-j
treasury bill, and this is not at all allayed by
the circumstance that it is absolutely necessa- |
ry to make some immediate provision for the j
secure and convenient payment and collection j
ot the revenue, before the adjournment. Pro
positions of all kinds have been made from all
quarters, both in the House and in the Senate.
That which is at present the most prominent is
Mr. YY r right’s bill, which has passed the Sen
ate by a vote of 27 to 22. This bill legalizes
the receipt, in payment of customs, of bills of
banks, who have issued notes less than five dol
lars, and otherwise refers all things, relating to
the collection of the customs, back to the con
dition in which they stood when the deposites
were first removed ; that is to say, the Presi
dent will place the public money just where he I
pleases. Whether or not this bill is likely to ]
pass the House, we do not learn. But the j
weather at Washington is so warm, the mem- J
hers so anxious to return to their homes, and j
the necessity of doing something so urgent, I
that it is probable that it will pass.
Y r ice President Johnson has left the chair of j
the Senate for the rest of the session, ami Mr. j
King of Alabama, is elected President pro.!
tern, in his place.
The bill fertile increase of the Army bus
passed. This bill, we believe, provides for the
increase of our troops from their present force
of about six thousand, to about ten thousand.
The passage of this hill is most judicious, and
among the advantages that will result from it,
we reckon it not among the least, that it will!
occasion a more rapid promotion of our half- ;
paid and overworked officers in tire army,
most of whom have for years continued in a !
J j
most disagreeable and thankless service, from
a professional pride and a spirit, which forbids j
them to abandon it for pecuniary advantage.
Mr. Adams has continued, for four day’s i
more, to occupy the floor of tire House, dur- j
ing the morning hour devoted to unfinished I
business, in speeches about Anti Slavery, and ;
against the Annexation of Texas. j
The attention of Congress seems to be |
aroused to the question of Steamboat Explo- j
sions. But the interests of so many of the |
Western members, and of their constituents, j
who hold property in Steamboats, would be at- j
footed by the passage of any law, which |
should demand their secure construction and |
regulation, that we cannot expect relief from j
these dangers before another session shall!
give more leisure to mature a bill.
A bill, of great interest to those concerned j
in our river navigation in Georgia, has passed j
the House, remitting the duties on iron import-;
ed for the construction of iron Steamboats. j
Congress adjourned on last Monday, the Bib j
inst., and in our next we can probably an-1
nounce the last acts of the session.
HON. THOMAS BUTLER KING. I
YY*e arc happy to learn that this distinguish- j
ed friend of Internal Improvements, still con
tinues his labors in the great cause. That a
rail-road will one day he constructed from the
waters of the Atlantic to those ofthe Gulf of
Mexico, must be obvious to every one. But to
Mr. King the citizens of Georgia are more
particularly indebted than to any other, for at
tracting and directing public attention to the
importance and practicability of the work, and
for procuring the actual survey and location of
the road. YY’e continue to hear of Mr. King’s
succevs in procuring subscriptions in the Wes
tern part of the State, and learn that tiie in
habitants of that section appreciate the im
portance of a w'ork, which opens to them the
ports of the Atlantic. On the 28th ult. Mr.
King was at Columbus. At the request of a
Committee of the City Council, appointed for
that purpose, he was to address the citizens at
the Court House, on the evening of that day.
TIIE PULASKI.
The papers from all quarters still come filled
with accounts published by the survivors of this
horrible catastrophe. But we do not find any
new names to add to the list of those saved.
The entire number of survivors must now be
considered as included in the list of fifty-nine
which we have already given, and with regard
to allotliers, who were on board, all hope must
, now he dismissed. YY’e regret to add, that
| nothing as yet appears to contradict the gen
; erally received opinion, that the boat was lost
by the grossest carlessness on the part of those
! entrusted w ith her management, superadded to
their wanton disregard of life, in attempting to
1 force the boat to the most rapid passage from
BRUNSWICK ADYOCATE.
j Charleston to Baltimore that had ever been
made.
We give the follow ing from the Wilmington
I Advertiser:
j “YY r e expect in a day or two, to lay before the
public a statement, not yet properly authenti
i cated, but which we believe to be true, which
' will place the awful responsibility of this dread
j fill loss of life, where it should rest.
| ‘ ’Tis a burthen
| Too heavy forthe man that hopes for heaven,’
but justice demands its victim, and truth must
i not blench, however frightful may be the con
i sequence.
YVhen we receive the statement in question
we shall endeavor to lay it before our readers.
THE WEATHER.
Our attention has been attracted by a friend
to a comparison of the register of the thermom
eter at this place with one observed and re
corded at Brigton, near Boston, during the
month cf June last. The result of this com
parison, has struck us with some astonishment.
Wc give the following table of mean rates,
for one week:

At Brighton, (>(>'■' Hr* 71
At Brunswick, 77 80 77
Greatest variation, at. Brighton, :52“’

From which it appears not only how much I
more uniform and equable our climate is, than i
a Northern one—as our temperature docs not;
change in a whole month so much as it does at
the North in every twenty-four hours, —but!
the remarkable fact is shown, that the extreme j
summer heat at this place, tempered as it is j
by the sea breeze, has not been so intense by
nearly ten degrees each day, as at the North,
though it has been warmer here both morning:
and evening. I
We continue herewith our register of the j
thermometer for the month of July. The glass j
which we observe is kept in one of the open [
corridors of the Oglethorpe House, exposed to (
the free and direct drafts of tiie air from out of i
doors, in all directions, but perfectly sheltered
from either the direct or reflected rays of the |
sun.

NORTHEASTERN BOUNDARY. j
From the indications wc observe in various
quarters, we can have but little doubt, that tiie
time is rapidly approaching when the settle
ment of this important and difficult question
must in some way or other be brought to a
close. Whether or not, it can be effected
without collision with England is doubtful.
The late difficulties in Canada have revealed
to the mother country the spirit of discontent
and revolt, which lias so long been repressed
and concealed. lienee the British Govern
ment are more than usually alive to the im
portance of the rapid concentration of their
garrisons of New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
and the Canadas upon any point, that may
threaten revolt. And in the very rebellion of
the last winter, British troops were actually
marched through tiie disputed territory, which
almost separates New' Brunswick from Upper
Canada. The extent of this territory is 11,000
square miles, or larger than the whole State of
Massachusetts. This territory is thus, apart
from the value of the soil, of the first import
ance to Great Britain in a military point of
view, and it is no doubt the sense of its import
ance that has induced her to set up her most
unfounded claim to its .possession.
We form our opinion that the crisis is near
at hand, which will decide the sovereignty of
this district, upon these facts: Ist, That in
May last, at the famous banquet given by the
Tory Members of the House of Commons to
Sir Robert Peel, the Baronet in his speech,
distinctly alluded to the subject of this boun
dary; as one of the difficulties which it was
necessary for the Ministry immediately to set
tle. And l?d, we observe*from the Northern
papers, that Gen. Wool, of the U. S. Army, is
now in conference with Governor Kent, of
Maine, in relation to the immediate establish
ment of military posts along the frontier.
THE FLORIDA WAR.
Shall w e never have done with this most un
fortunate and expensive war? When it was
begun, it was said to be ended, and now that
they tell us from Washington, from the Great
Globe itself, that it is ended, it seems again to
have begun. We give below an account of
another “battle” as ii seems to be the fashion
to call these murderous skirmishes.
Tiie Battle ok Kamipahaw. A let
ter to our mayor, Col. Dell, from his
j brother of Alachua, dated Newuausvillc,
June‘2o, fully confirms the information
given in our extra last week.
“Capt. Beall, the commandant at New
nansville, with about 31) of his men, on
the 25hh inst, fell in with about 60 or H!>
Indians in the Kanopuhuw Hammock.
He divided his little force and placed a
portion of them under the command of
Kieut. Howe. Capt. B. advanced upon
the Indians who stood tiil the troops had
approached to within some 30 yards. The
Indians were evidently prepared for a
deadly resistance, when they discovered 1 ;
almost at the moment of contact with'
Bell's men, that Howe was approaching in
their rear. They then gave way, but not
so as to prevent tbeit giving our men a very
"■nrni salute which was returned with inter
est. The conflict was hot and terrible.
Never has been one more so since the war
began. They fought more than two hours,
j Two Indians fell dead on the field; two
rifles were taken, and four ponies.
On our side, Capt. S. V. Walker, a vol
unteer, was killed, and six of Capt. Beall's
men wounded. No man could have form- j
ed his plan better than did Capt. Beall, nor
have executed it with more skill and brave-:
jrythandid Beall and Ilowe. Y\ ith fifty!
j rocu they would have captured or killed !
the entire party. As it was doubted by j
j some of tiie officers whether there were!
any Indians in this part of the country, it j
is fortunate that they are undeceived atno|
dearer price. Capt. Beali is a fine officer, i
and it is to be hoped he may remain in com- i
maud here.” [Jacksonville Courier.
A SUB-TREASURY.
Here wo have ail example of the successful j
operation of one of the sub-treasuries already j
established. Well may such an example cause |
the mouths of the faithful to water in anxiety '
for tiie passage of tiie Sub-Treasury Bill ami!
in large anticipations of ‘the spoils’ thereupon j
to follow:
It appears, from a report of the Secretary of
the Treasury, of 28th January last, that Lit
tlebcrrv Hawkins, late receiver of Public Mon
eys at Helena, in this State, was a defaulter to
the government, at tho time he absconded, to
the tunc of .*! 15,1(52 84. The amount for
which lie had given bond was only .*20,000. —

ers by tiie fire. The tmal amount contributed j
is j!! 80,50(5,87, of which ;“25 *,830,57, is hum

YVc regret to receive no intelligence from!
tiie Cherokee country this week, but presume,
as wc hour nothing to the contrary, that every

that, ere this, tiie Georgia troops are discharg

day as one of public mourning for the loss of (
llieir friends and citizens by the Pulaski. A

we have received from Macon of this pleasant
paper, we perceive it is much enlarged and
improved, and we trust it may in consequence
receive tiie increase of patronage to which its
merits and its elforts to dill use correct and a
grecable intelligence entitle it.
'Pile Tallahassee Floridian of the 2.4:1 ill!,
says: “\Y r e learn by a gentleman direct from
Tampa, that a day or two before leaving, tiie
Indians who recently came in with Alligator
at that post, made an attempt to escape. A
party of twenty warriors stole horses, loaded
diem with provisions and devalued in the
night. Gen. Taylor immediately despatched
two companies of troops in pursuit, who suc
ceeded in capturing the horses and provis
ions, but tiie Indians made their escape. Oil
too return of tiie troops, twenty-live horses la
den with provisions were also captured. It
was the intention no doubt of all the- warriors
to have made their escape, but tiie vigilance
of Gen. Taylor prevented it. Alligator is yet
at Tampa, and we are informed in the em
ployment of Gen. T. at high wages, to bring
in tiie Indians.
“Wc have little hopes of inducing the Indi
ans yet to surrender. Their movements are
most hostile. Wo learn that every post aban
doned by our troops, has been destroyed. Fort
Clinch on the YY’ithlncoechne, Fort King and
Fort Mellon, have been burnt, and most of the
bridges in the nation destroyed. Scarcely had
our troops passsd the bridges near Fort K in 8,
cue it was burned by the Indians who were
; following close in the rear of tiie army.
“Our informant states that Gen. Taylor is
pursuing Gen. Jos up’s plan of coaxing tiie hos
' tiles. We are mistaken in our opinions en
; tcrtniiie:! of tliis officer, if he suffers himself
impose,! upon more than once by tiie treachery
of this faithless remnant of the Seminoles.”
i “The YV'ar Embed.” On the 20th ult. a
detachment ot IJ- S. Dragoons, about, thirty in
number, under Capt. Beall, scouting in tiie
\ neighborhood of San Velasco, near Newlians
; \ die, discovered an Indian trail, which was
followed up—and while in pursuit, were sud
denly attacked by a gang of Indians estimated
at about GO. Capt. Walker of Aiiachua coun
ty, acting as guide, was in tiie advance, and
was mortally wounded, and died in a few min
utes. The fire was kept up for some minutes
. with spirit on both sides. Six of the Dragoons
cere wounded. They succeeded in driving
•tiie Indians a short distance into a hammock,
where the force of the troops was too small to
follow them. Two Indians were found killed,
I tiie Dragoons retreated ill good order, bring
ing with them the body of Capt. YValker.
j While retreating, the Indians came out of the
Inmmoekand commenced firing, but at a long
j distance off. Captain Dude of the Dragoons,
with his company, had gone off towards the
j Okefinoke Swamp, which was the reason no
! more force could he procured,
j Capt. Walker was, we learn, much esteem
; ed by all who knew him, and his loss is great
;!yto be regretted. He has left a widow and
several small children. Here is another wid
j ow and more orphans added to tlu; list of sav
