THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (Ga-)__-—. —§BC. 20, 1838.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. —INTER-
NAL IMPROVEMENTS.
Thus far, we are sorry to say, the Legisla
ture of Georgia has done nothing, and from
appearances is likely to do nothing to aid the
system of Internal Improvements commenced
in our State. What is the meaning of this
apathy—of this delay? Could any one ex
pect so sad a delinquency in our legislators?
Could it have been supposed that where so im
portant a measure is involved as that now
contemplated, local jealousies and petty con
troversies, which have no right to exist in a
legislative hall, would be allowed to defeat a
measure so important to the well-being of the
State? Could it have been supposed that
upon a grand question like that of Internal
Improvements, SIOO,OOO for this canal, or
$500,000 for that rail-road would be regarded
as so formidable a barrier ?
Instead of wasting so much time in dis
cussing resolutions relative to the Sub-Treas
ury and other abstract questions which are in
no way connected with the practical legisla
tion of the State, would it not be infinitely
better for our legislators to pass a law which
would be instrumental in developing our re
sources ?
One thing is certain, Georgia will remain
as she now is, unless the members of our legis
lature make concessions on all sides. A State
which will hesitate for a million or two of dol
lars in a case like this, is not worthy to have
a system of Internal Improvements, and we still
fear that Carolina influence is destined to
watch over the best interests of our State.
The only bill, and there are a number be
fore the Legislature having a tendency to aid
works of internal improvement, which we
think at all likely to pass that body, is an act
to establish the Farmers Bank of Georgia.'
This bill proposes to sell state stock to the i
amount of $15,000,000, of which a sum suffi- j
cient is to be set apart necessary for the state’s j
own works of internal improvements, two- j
thirds of the remainder to be loaned out to the ;
citizens of the State and to each county ac- j
cording to its representative population, and
the balance to corporate canal and rail-road j
companies.—The provisions of the bill are I
such as to prohibit the State from issuing
any note or other paper in the similitude of a
bank bill for circulation. The plan seems to
be to borrow money at a low interest by the
State, and loan it out at a high interest, so as
to cover all expenses until it can be again
collected and paid over.
Whether this or any other bill favorable to
internal improvements, will be passed at this
session of the Legislature, will soon be known,
as the time for adjournment is close at hand.
We look with anxiety to the result.
We are indebted to a friend at Milledge
ville for a copy of a bill entitled “an act to
authorize the business of banking, and to reg
ulate the same,” which we are glad to per
ceive has passed the House of Representa
tives, and had one reading in the Senate.
The bill is very lengthy, containing thirty
eight sections, and is somewhat similar, we ;
believe, to the new banking law of N. York,
ns it allows the privileges of banking under!
certain restrictions and conditions to every j
citizen in the State who has property to pledge
for the redemption of the circulation. We
think from present appearances it will pass
the Senate and become a law, although no
doubt great exertions will be made to defeat
it in that body, by all those interested in the
present system of corporate banking, as the
bill has a tendency to cutoff the profits arising
from their exclusive privileges.
Report of the Secretary of War. —This doc
ument is before the public ; among the mat
ters treated on, is one on the general distribu
tion of the several divisions of the army. It
gays—lnstead of keeping it dispersed in small j
bodies among a thousand posts, it proposes i
that the forces should be concentrated in a
few important and commanding positions, from ■
whence they could protect a large extent of
territory, and designates Lake Champlain in
N. Y., Carlisle in Pennsylvania, a point near the
head waters of Savannah river, and Jefferson
Barracks in the South West, as the proper
points under this plan. The divisions of the j
regular army will then constitute so many,
centres, around which the militia of the ecus
try oan gather in time qj(|anger.
Respecting the Florida war, it suggests
that the system of operations be changed.
Gen. Taylor has been directed to invite the
settlers to return to their homes, and to organ
ize them into battalions for mutual defence,
with stout pickets around their houses—a part
to be under arms, while others are engaged in
cultivation. Besides this, it is recommended
that land, selected by officers of government,
be granted to settlers who will bind them
selves to cultivate and defend it under Exec
utive regulations. ,|
A correspondent of the Bangor Whig and
Courier states that a boy, aged 8 years, was
recently seized by a Bear, in the town of Lin
neus, in Washington county, and carried three
quarters of a mile. The screams of the boy
brought two men to his assistance, by one of
whom the bear was shot The boy was loos
ed from the embraces of his wild friend, and
returned home uninjured. The bear when
dressed weighed 362 pounds.
Riotous Proceedings in Pennsylvania.
From Harrisburg we learn that on the 4th inst.
the day for the meeting of the Pennsylvania
legislature, a full attendance of the members
elect appeared, of organizing reg
, ularly, an extraordinary and exciting scene
was enacted. The members of the House in
a most disorderly manner organized in two
bodies, whig and loco foco, with numbers a
| bout the same, and both claiming to be the
“regular House.” This conflict has arisen
from views taken respecting the returns from
Philadelphia county —the whigs insisting on
the legal return put in by the Secretary of the
Commonwealth and the Vanßurenites upon an
exemplified copy from the Prothonotary’s of
fice. Both divisions elected their speaker and
each appointed a committee to inform the
Governor and Senate that the House had or
ganized.
It will be for the Governor and Senate re
spectively to decide which of these bodies is
the real Simon Pure.
The Senate also met, but broke up in great
confusion. From all accounts a mob seems
to have possession of the Capitol and violence
is feared. The Governor has issued a Proc
lamation calling on thq citizens from abroad
to hold themselves in readiness to aid in pre
serving civil government. The Philadelphia
Division of Militia has been ordered to pro
ceed to Harrisburg immediately.
The whigs say “that they stand on the firm
rock of law and principle and will not be
moved.”
Later. —Harrisburg dates to the 9th inst.,
states that all attempts to bring about a com
promise between the two Houses had failed,
and that things remained in statu quo. About
1200 troops were assembled in Harrisburg.
Two persons, (Van Burenites) claiming seats
in the House had been arrested for riotous
conduct One procured bail, the other went
to prison—probably for effect.
Affairs are still in great confusioa
Indian Outrages.— From a letter publish
ed in the Savannah Georgian, dated Wares
boro, Nov. 26, we learn that on the 15th ult.
th? Indians burnt every house on Lawrence
Smith’s plantation. Ilis corn crop which was
housed some time since was all destroyed.
Loss estimated at SISOO to S2OOO.
On the 23d four men from Lowndes county
passing to Trader’s Hill were attacked by
some 30 or 40 Indians who lay concealed be
hind a fence. One of the men by the name
of Hurst, together with his horse, was killed
on the spot; the oilier three made their es
cape—two of whom were wounded, one mor s
tally, and has since died. His name was
Mudge. The name of the other wounded
man was Hill, who at the first fire of the In
dians had his clothes pretty well riddled, four
bullets having passed through them. It was
no doubt, the intention of the Indians to attack
a wagon train, which was then only half a
mile distant, on its way to Fort Floyd.
An express reached Gen. Floyd on Friday
evening, with the news of the above murder,
who immediately despatched Sweet’s compa
ny, who were outside the swamp, to take the
Indian trail, and follow the same until he
could join them with a reinforcement out of
the swamp.
We look with anxiety to the result of Gen.
Floyd’s campaign, and expect ere long to
hear of its successful termination.
In last week’s Advocate we copied an arti
cle from the Alexandria (La.) Gazette, headed
“ Beat this who can,” stating that a Mr. Cure
ton of that place offered to bet two thousand
dollars that he had four servants who could go
into any plantation (on the first picking) and
pick two thousand pounds cotton in a day, but
there were no takers.—Two gentlemen of this
County have sent us a note with their names,
informing Mr. C. that he can have a bet from
a beaver hat to five hundred dollars, that lie
cannot produce a negro who can pick one
quarter part of the amount of cotton named.
If Mr. C. takes the banter we will agree to
hold the stakes, providing he will go in for the
money , as we are not in want of a hat just now.
Georgia and Maine Controversy. —From the
Charleston Courier, we learn that “ the Hon.
James Rhett, of Christ Church, has moved in
the Senate, a series of Resolutions condemn
ing the improper conduct of the Governor of
Maine, in refusing to surrender for trial cer
tain citizens of that State, against whom bills
of indictment have been found for the felony
of kidnapping and carrying away certain
slaves from the State of Georgia ; and pledg
ing the co-operation of this State, with her in
jured sister, in all proper measures for procur
ing a redress of her grievances, and for the
maintenance of her common rights.”
I Alabama legislature. —The two Houses or
ganized at Tuscaloosa on the 4th inst. James
M. Calhoun, Senator from Dallas, was elected
President of the Senate. The vote stood—
| Calhoun 14, McVay 7, Rains 4. The Hon.
James W. McClung, member from Madison,
was elected Speaker of the House—McClung
48, Shields 42.
Mr. McClung is a Whig. Mr. Calhoun,
President elect of the Senate, is a consistent
State Rights Independent Sub Treasury man.
The President’s Message was carried to N.
York from Washington, a distance of 245
miles, in a little over 10 hours!
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
I CONGRESS.
In the Senate on the 10th inst. no business
of importance was transacted. The election
for Chaplain resulted in the choice of the Rev.
Henry Slicer. The Senate then went into Ex
i ecutive business and the nomination of Mr.
i Butler, late U. S. Attorney General, to the
office of U. S. District Attorney, for the South
ern District of New-York, vice Mr. Price re
signed, was confirmed.
In the House on the same day, the names of
the members chosen by the Speaker to serve
on the Standing Committees, were announced.
They are substantially the same as last Session.
The resolution of Mr. Dromgoole proposing
an amendment to the Standing Rules of the
House so that in future “in all cases of elec- j
tion by the House the vote be taken viva
voca, ” was adopted. Ayes 126 Noes 85.
A Message was received from the President:
transmitting a Special Report from the Secre- ]
ry of the Treasury, relative to the defalca
tions of Mr. Swartwout. The Message re- 1
commends the speedy action of Congress on 1
the recommendations contained in the report.;
It was referred, and then the House adjourned, j
[Charleston Patriot. J
From the Okefinoke. The Savannah i
Republican publishes the following extracts
from a letter received in that city, from Gen.
Charles Floyd, dated
Centre Village, Dec. 4, 1838.
I have halted here for a few days, from a
scout on the Southern and Eastern side of
the swamp, to write officially to the Governor
and others relative to my proceedings. Soon
you may expect to hear that the Indians are
driven out of the Okefinoke, and beyond the
limits of Georgia, or that they are slaughtered.'
The disposition of my troops is such that they j
cannot evade me. I shall establish posts in |
the interior of the swamp, and keep up such
active operations that the enemy must be |
found or compelled to run away. If I catch j
any, they shall be hanged, unless they are j
women and small children. My movements
shall be (as they have been as long as I am in
service,) rapid and decisive.
* # # # #
“ I have already endured great hardships j
and latigue—but my health is tolerably good.!
On the 7th or Bth I shall leave here again for
the Western side of the swamp, and shall
probably establish my head-quarters for some
time at fort A. S. Miller, Cox’s Hammock, j
about 53 miles from Trader’s Ilill. I have!
been through the swamp and around .it, and
endured much of the fatigue on foot (living us
a private soldier, but acting in all things as j
the commander.) Three companies are want
ing to my regiment—all the regulars in the
Okefenoke district are under my command ;
yet, the force is small considering the num
ber of posts to occupy, the escorts for waggon
trains, expresses, etc. —besides the duties of
the field. The Indians in the swamp do not
amount to more than 20 or 30 at present;
many, (by the signs) having escaped to Florida
—hence, they are difficult to find. The small
ness of the number, and other numerous hid
ing places, have induced me to divide my
command in many small detachments to pen
trate the swamp at various points. One of my
detachments on the 25th November were am
buscaded by about 12 or 15 Indians ; but be
fore the Indians could fire, the advance guard
shot one dead, wounded another, and the rest
were chased three miles through a thick
swamp, leaving their packs in the flight The
Indians had no chance to fire once, so quick
was the fire of the advance guard, and so im
petuous was the charge of the troops. I have
some gallant men with me, and when we meet
the Indians, victory on our side is certain.
Our greatest difficulty is to find the enemy—
when found it is easy enough to beat them.”
The Roman Catholics of Great Britain. —
The Oct. number of Blackwood contains an
article entitled “ The Progress of Popery,”
somewhat intolerant, but of much value, as it
contains statistical information of great im
portance to a correct understanding of the
present state of politics and religious parties
in Great Britain.
The following extract, which is all we can
find room for, states an increase of chapels
and of institutions of learning of which but
few on this side the Atlantic could have had
any conception of.
While advancing their political condition,
the British Catholics have not neglected their
religious duty. In 1792, there were but thirty
Catholic chapels in all Great Britain—there
are now fre hundred and nineteen, and forty
three building. In the same year, there was
not one College in that country—there are
now ten with sixty seminaries, besides chapel
schools. In Ireland there are nine Colleges
with many institutions of an inferior grade.
Pious individuals have made large donations,
to aid in advancing the faith. In February last
a society for the “Diffusion of Catholic Pub
lications” was formed, composed of eminent
and wealthy persons, and shortly after was es
tablished “The Catholic Institute,” having for
its officers some of the party’s highest men.
This latter institution is one of a very compre
hensive nature, having for its most promin
nent object the thorough organization of the
Catholics throughout the British empire and
its colonies, of which organization it will be
the head. In Great Britain there are two
million Catholics, in Ireland probably three
times that number, and in every colony they
abound. Glasgow, the great commercial cap
ital of Scotland, alone contains 30,000 Catho
lics. These facts show a most remarkable
change in the state of religion in Great Brit
ain, within the last half century.
Up to the Ist inst. no less than 253,960 bbls.
of Flour, and 1,122,736 bushels of Wheat and
102,348 of Com arrived at Cleveland. This
is said to be an increase in the article of Flour
alone of 50,000 bbls. over the amount of the
same time last year.
Road to ruin.— The Cincinnati Mirror
says that a man who was hung lately in a neigh
boring state for burglary and murder, confess
ed under the gallows that his career of crime
began by stopping a newspaper without pay
ing for it. —lt is certain that he entered the
road to-*itn by the right gate. This should
be a warning to all others of the human fami
ly who wish to escape being placed in a similar
predicament.
Treasury Note*.—The Secretary of the
Treasury, under data of the Ist inst, states
that the whole amount of Treasury notes au
thorized by an act of October 12th, 1838, has
been issued, viz. 10,000,000; there has been
redeemed of them about 7,610,000, the new
emissions made in place of them under the
act of May 12, 1838, have been only 6,709,-
81001; there have been returned of thesolnst
into the Treasury about 345,250. This leaves
a balance of ell outstanding equal to only
about 7,754,56001.
The Philadelplia U. 8. Gazette of Saturday
says that a draft from Cincinnati, purporting
to be for five thousand and twenty dollars,
was presented and paid at the United States
Bank on Saturday. On examination at the
closing of the bank, it was discovered that
the draft was originally for one hundred and
twenty dollars, but the words one hundred had
been taken out and five thousand inserted.
The police of the city are in search of the per
son who committed the crime.
It is stated that the amount of property
which lias been detained on its way down the
Erie Canal by the closing of the navigation,
is immense. It is said that no less than 400
boats are frozen up in the ice, laden with pro
duce valued at $1,500,000. Much of the diffi
culty is attributed to the neglect of the agents,
in mismanaging the canal above Utica.
Steamboat Explosion. —We learn from
the Natchez Courier, of the sth inst., that the
steamboat Augusta, while on her way to
Vicksburg with the ship Jeannette in tow,
burst her boiler and had the whole of her up
per deck shattered to atoms. By this accident
some twenty lives were lost, and as many
more were dangerously wounded.
Church Blown up. The Bridgeport
(Conn.) Farmer of the sth inst. states that the
Baptist Church in the west part of Reeding,
was blown to pieces with powdcr»on the night
of the 28th ult. The Rev. Mr. Colver had de
livered a discourse there on Abolition, and
had given notice that he should deliver ano
ther on the same subject on the evening of the
29th. To prevent this some unknown person
placed a keg of powder under the pulpit, and
set fire to it. The church was demolished.
Silk Bounty. —The legislature of Vermont
j has just passed an act, authorizing 4 bounty
i of 10 cents per pound for Cocoons, 20 cents for
each pound of raw silk, and 20 cents per pound
j for sewing silk, all to be the native product of
the state. Raw silk it is said can be raised
!at about $1,75 per pound and ten pounds of
! cocoons will make a pound of raw silk. The
1 premiums on the cocoons and the raw mate
rial will pay well for the cost of production,
and leave the silk a matter of clear gain. Raw
silk is worth from $3 to $5 per pound.
New Orleans, Dec. 8.
| Destruction of the fortress of St. Juan
Dc-Ulloa in less than four hours by
three French frigates.
The port of vera enuz open to com
merce.
The French steam vessel Meteor, Com
mandant Barbolin arrived here last night
three days from Vera Cruz, bringing des
patches for the French Consul, which
contain the following very interesting in
telligence.
On the 27th November at noon, the
French squadron, comprising the ship
L’lphegenie, la Gloire, la Nereidc, on
board of which was admiral Bandin, and
! two bomb vessels, attacked the fortress or
| St. Juan de Ulloa, and in the course of
! four hours discharged 8000 balls and 300
! bombs, which destroyed the works and
buried the Mexicans in the ruins.
The Iphegenie received 160 balls in her
' side, yet she remained immovable at her
i anchorage, and kept up her fire till the
! end of the engagement, which lasted four
! hours. The French had 33 men disabled,
of whom five are dead.
The Mexicans lost from five to six hun
jdred men killed and wounded.
The three frigates and two bomb ves
sels anchored under the fire off the fort,
which was protected by one hundred and
| si\ty pieces of ordnance. The port of
Vera Cruz is now open to all nations.
The other ports of Mexico will remain in
a state of blockade, until intelligence from
the city of Mexico shall arrive.
Admiral Baudin has consented to permit
General Rincon to keep one thousand men
at Vera Cruz for the maintenance of
public order and tranquility. The reinain
! der of the troops, amounting to between 3
I and 4000 men have been sent a way.—
i General Rincon has moreover, agreed that
the relations between Vera Cruz and the
j interior of the country should be complete
! ly re-established.
No treaty has as yet been concluded,
though deputies had been sent to Mexico
for the accomplishment of this purpose.
Savannah, Dec. 13.— Georgia Sugar.
A specimen of Sugar, made by Thomas
Dover, Esq. of Dover Hall, Glynn coun
ty, has been sent us by a friend. It is a
beautiful sample of that article, compar
ing advantagously with any sugars we
have ever seen. It is of a very light brown,
dry and chrystalized in large sparkling
grains. It is highly Mr. Do
ver as a sugar planter; lie has planted in
Glynn a long time, but we do not know
! how long it is since he turned his atten-j
j tiou to the cultivation of the cane.
