We have been requested by » old and respectable citizen of tin county to publish, as agreeable tt many, the following Ticket lor Mem bets of Congress— John A. Cuthbert , Col. hAward Harden, John Forsyth , Esq Col Homer V Jiilton, Jh>ct Joel Abbott , Thomas Cobh, Esq. —— — All, except one, of the convicts , who escaped from the Peniti nliary, we are inforincd have been taken— I the two who committed the murder , in Abbeville. 8.

Mnj. Ren, E. P. Caines passed this place yesterday, on his way to l»i*orgia. The general is ium»*di ately from Pensacola, and informs us that ti e utn,osl harmony existed a nmng - very class of citizens at that place : that *o lar from murmuring, the Spaniards who remained, found no fault whatever with the authori ties established by gen. Jackson, am* 'hat not an instance had occurred in which a deviation had taken place from the true intent and meaning ol fiie articles of capitulation entered into and ratified between gen.

It is pretty well ascertained that the Indians in East Florida are now disposed lor peace, and that it only remains to break uj. the horde which frequent the road between t**is and Georgia, and which. weurH erstand. have nevei attache' itself to anv party, but continued plundering during tin.- short interve’ of peace which look place after the lute British war. to put a tcrminalioi to our troubles with the Savages in this quarter. — Ibid. It Ell JtIVER. A gentleman immediately from ex ploring the la ds on the waters o* Rid river, gives us the following •.'ketch extracted from a letter wiot< I* a friend, who requested informa -1 on of him ; •* 1 regret that I cannvt comply generally with your request. From • lie cursory view 1 have been able t< take of die country, I have satisfied . oi t self, that too much cannot be said n favor of the soil, climate, situation •v d natural advantagesof the district . . n Red river A its tributary streams between the latitude of S 3 and SO. It ulliirds a soil and climate that em braces ail the staples of the union (except Sugar) to the greatest per fection. It contains more real first rate cultivatable land than any one of the western states ; the bottoms and whut may be termed low grounds for 500 miles above the great raft on Red river, arc on an average, ten miles wide,and I have seen few spot*, with any traces o! an overflow. This tract of laud is in places covered witu valuable timber with very little undergrowth, ami in other places, the most beautiful prairie. As far ■ as I have si eu, the prairies are sur rounded with the best kind of timber; and in fact better than any prarie country i have seen, either on (he Ohio or Mississippi. The land back from these bott to* afford a variety •<f soil for many miles a great pro portion very good and interspersed with be.iutifui rich prairies, and es pecially on the west of the main ri j v- r, and on the South or Sulphui f* rk. This branch empties in a short •li-tance above tiie great raft. & has for about s<»o miles, a; good land as there is in the U. States. No section of the Union of an equal extent can boast of as many -■{vantages'—As to the grand raft, it is more a bug-bear than a reality, as ri is a fact that large vessels passed it every month last year, and with a very small expense, it can be render ed navigable at all times. The omrirv is settling fast, as the pros ;iect of gain is such that envgra ion cannot be stopped Last \ ca< here were only anout 100 families ‘<n Red river above the raft—m*v her.- #re more than 800, and from die best information I can obtain. / •' there are ten thoiftand acres planted n coni, winch win in all probability produce four hundred thousaiii jushem ot grain ; this of itself wii •usurc an abundibt supply to emi ; rants; and poik to any araouo .nay bo engaged at 85 a cwt. Her .<ms emigrating who can convcn .yntly <lrive horses and cattle, an idvUed to do so, as most of theem •grants come by wiser and hare to supply themselves from the stock in the country. —A better stock coun •ry there is not in the universe, 1 expect. It is generally well watered. ..nd in many places there are valua ble mill seats —-the geheral course ol Red r.ver is a little south of East — that of the Sutjdiur fork east—little river emptying into the main river about 250 miles above the raft, about 300 mile* navigable, course south ol west, hetds in the Arkansas moun tains. 1 have no doubt but Red river ami its branches will be capable of afford ing in ten years more strength and yvrallb, than all the Mississippi ami Missruri country above the 33d de gree ol latitude. Very valuable sa lines and beds of Iron ore are found in auundance, and 1 have no d. uht but C«»pper and *he precious metals will Oe found.—A*, to the inhabitant-, they are not such as general y settle i.ew. countiies—they are moral and industrious, and mostly belong to the Methodist church, the preachers of which B'iciety (six in number are of unimpeachable character) no sec tion of the union can boost of more Older. In a commercial point of view, this country will have more advantages than any other west of the Mississip pi ; as there will be a trade with the Spaniards in the rieighborhood of the Mines of Santa Fee, &c the distance is much less than is generally ima gined, and the country a level diy plain—di wa lied river there w ill at oil 'lines be a good market, and if the supply be greater than the de mand on that stream ; New Orleans may be furnished at a season of the year when the Ohio and Mississippi are fiozen up, and that is the season 100 when produce generally bears the best price, being the most favorable (o ship produce to the islands. There can be no doubt but the government will foster tills scitlen out—it is a' present unauthorised and the settlers without title, but it is understood that the Indian title will be extin guished this fall by Gov Clark, and he land as soon as it can be brouglu into market. Interest and policy re ■piire this to be done—rthe sette iient is op an exposed f on tier, wher ue U. States is as vulnerable as a there rise, and where supplies. &i„ a case of a war will lie ve>y mu.- teeded; and even in case an ennn mould invade New Oiiians in Hi winter season when there could • .-distance be obtained from the 01. m Mississippi settlements because < those steams being frozen up) r, efficient force could bo moved iron Red liver for its support. The las. war was near proving this argument —it was a providential and unhmkc or rise injthe w aters of Cumberlam ami Ohio rivers, Sc pleasant weather, that enabled General Carrol and Gen. Ilu mas to reach New Oilcans in lime 10 leave it. ” Nash. pap. FOU THE CHRONICLE & GAZETTE.

Editors , Happening this morning to look over the Her ml of the 11th inst e ommuuication from a certain serif bier who designates himself Philo,sit traded my notice. Mr. Philo's def . il.on of shame is wi bout doubt cm j reel, and such -is no one has ever ve taken into their heads to deny; bm * his after application of it to the tnen 1 who did the deed without a name, is : dtogether inadmissible. Indeed, 1 » ,lo not believe that young men art- , capable of arriving so soon at that j climax ol depravity which Mr. Philo t . epresenta.—- Such an extreme ot mu- 1 ,al turpitude, can only be reacheti 1 oy the hardy and silver headed vete ■ ran in iniquity ; by him whose lilt- 1 ■us been spent in a series of dissolute courses, and whose vices have be • oine habitually consolidated in one 1 strong coalition by long indulgence A perfect knowledge of the circuni stances that occasioned Mr. Philo’s communication, gives me the right to affirm that his statement is in some parts devoid of truth, particularly where he says, that (he band of uu-r. (as he very politely terms them) went out intentionally to disturb the inha bitants: ami also where he w ishes to insinuate that tnese inexplicable do ings were acted on Sunday morning Nothing was more foreign to their wishes than that of disturbing the good people of Augusta. On the contraiy, had any liot appeared in the streets, none would nave dis played greater activity in suppress ing it than they. It was merely the ebullition of a few joyous spirits who had scceeded for a moment in driving dull care away, and were a musing themselves by singing, go ing home, and I am convinced that there are few good citizens who do not feel a degree of pleasuie at see ing others happy. Why should a man whose heart is warm within. Sit like his grandsire, cut in ala baster. Sleep vvl;en he wakes ami creep into the jaundice, by being peevish. And 1 would lake this opportunity of informing Mr. Philo Misanthropes Sleepiness, that these inexpressible doings were acted on aSatunlay night and noton Sunday morning, as he endeavors to insinuate, and without hesitation tell him, that if those very men shall deny themselves the plea sure of singing on a similar occasion in future, it wi 1 be from no tear of distutbing Mr. Philo’s rest. If iVlr. Philo had looked carefully over the volume from which his last quotation i- extracted, he would have found, not only that a little leaven leaven >th the whole lump”—but that he should fust cast the beam out of his own eye, and then should he see leariy, to pluck the mote out of •ns brother’s eye.—And byway «( • inclusion, I w ould advise Mr. Philo to take care of his own glass-house, east peradventure, while he endea ors to break that of others, it may ,et a shock. AMICUS. Washington , i<th Sept. 1818. .Ir. Chaklton, I see in the Augusta Chronicle, • n advertisement ot Byrd Pitman’s .f Columbia county, charging me • ith imposing on him, in the sale of tract of land in said county—l ■hnuldbe glad the gentleman would orove what he states. The charge is as fallacious as he is mean and vvorth •ess that made it, however, this tra ducing comforts with his usual con luct, for in the contract with Billing on Sanders, esq and Mr. Upton, and so in all cases where the contract docs not meet with the family con nexions approbation, his property is * claimed by his father; or he applies to he released, and if he cant succeed himself, his wife goes herself, and you can have no rest—her friends in Columbia know this to he the fact, although the remark seem invidious. The conduct ol said Pitman has been thus with me, in the contract we have made. Three or four weeks after we had contracted,he called to see me at Thomas N. Hand ton’s —l could not tell what could be his busi ness, as Mr. Hamilton said he never < ante to his house—l suspected that lie wished to be re eased from ids ob ligation, and asked him if that was the reason of his call—be said it wa* not. The object of ids call was to see if I would not change the time of payment for part of the money, as it might be inconvenient for him to make live full payment at the time stipulat ed ; that he could pay me half, and he wished to pay the balance in two payments —after I replied to him if he would pay the interest, he might make the last payment as he wished. Three or after this interview, Mr. Pitman called at my ionise and asked me to se’ease him from the contract I observed to him I could not. He returned home, and ids father, John Pitman, came to my house, and solicited that I would re scind the contract, and said 1 might *s well, that his son had no property, hat all the property he had in pos session he hail lent him. I observed o him, have you advertised this fact? is answer was.no—then sir, you ave given your son a credit in the 1 ommunitv that he is not entitled to. Thus you raise a false credit, and the ■mmunity will place confidence as have done, from the circumstance * •f his having so much in his possessi- 1 •n. I further remarked (0 the old man, that when the note became due, • I should commence my action, and ,ee whethei the was ms or his son’s Abus we parted, and 1 expect the 0 d man would claim the property at sheritl s sale, but he h«s abandoned this idea, and tney have resorted totms la»t praiseworthy al ternative to bung an actioii—and who is the person entitled ?—this i» the rub.
