I Js AUGUSTA, OCT. gJ Miss Caraboo. Last week Miss Caraboo reconnoitred the out posts of our Market, md consid erable apprehensions were entertained, by some of our “ old standards” that she intended to carry i\\n fortress by a coup de-main, After a little manceuverlng, however, she sheered oil", and entreoch cd herself behind SlJ—at which price we are enabled to quote Cotton this week. The names of the Emperor Alexander of Russia, and Prince Gullitzin, are en siled as rqembcrs of the Peace. Society, established in Massachusetts. What mockery!

TO THE EDITORS OF THE SAVANNAH BE* PUBLICAN, Lampedocia, Little Satilla Neck.^Ga.) Oct. 6, Ibir. “ In submitting for publication the un derwritten true description of an ancient Indian fortification, 1 am warranted in the opinion of assorting, that it will be read with pleasure by many patrons of your widely circulated paper. “ On the river Dover, a branch of the Great Satilla, in this county, (Camden,) there is a remarkable tine bluff on the the right bank, on which is situated ave- Isient Indian fortification—l have 1 it narticulai ly myself, as well as of the most respectable gentlemen neck and its vicinity, all of w hom bat jt is one of (he most magniti acient fortifications that was ever ere.d in the United States.

Each side of the ation is about three hundred feet j;ih, ami they are almost parallel jach other, and the wails, which ide of oyster shells and a kind of mold, are no\y more than 10 feet nit no doubt when first construct re considerably higher; the top of is now very even and broad, sufli f so, as to admit heavy cannon bo iced thereon. The scite on which nit is remarkably exemplary of lu ingenuity; being placed beside a ful spring rivulet, and notwilh ng which it has a very command isition At the northeast corner of rt there is a small round out work, ills of which are as strong as any which admits of a narrow passage ihe main fortification; and if also rs, that on this bluff was situated the largest towns of this ancient there being several large mounds th thrown up in large masses of the who are laid off in regular strata, hove the other; and there,are also pieces of eathern pots and other menu for domestic use.” ViNcrNNEs, Sept. 6.

The Lexington Reporter of the 3d inst. contains a long letter from General Jack son addressed to General Adair, relative to that part of General Jackson’s oflfcial account of the attack on Ncvv-Orleans, in January, 1815, winch charged a body of Kentucky militia with having in a das tardly manner, left their station upon the approach ofthfe enemy. This letter ap pears to bean answer to a previous pub lication of General Adair. We ext ract the following from General Jackson’s; communication, as a specimen of hi.v style and temper: “You ask, through the Reporter, an explanation of my allu sion to the “ Spanish dish.” It will n | be given; my letter speaks for itself. It is plain, without inuendo. You are charged by the historian with having furnished the forgery commented on; you can read it coolly, and draw your own conclusions. This is my only ex planation,/ am astonished at.your impu dence, to talk of fighting battles over n gain. You well know, sir, that your misrepresentations and falsehoods, com bined With those of your colleague, and the editors of a newspaper, have been disturbing the tranquility of* the public mind, by endeavouring to cast a stigma on the well earned fame of brave and me ritorious officers; and seeking to con vince the world, that men were heroes, who before the enemy.” Pet, ( V.)
