MEETING THIS EVENING.
We earnestly request the attention of our citi
zens; to the Public Meeting to be held at the
DaHtsd Sx-Atzii Horst,Tins Evening,at 7 o’-
'cidck, (as recommended by the public meeting of
ycstcnliy,) to organize one or more Volunteer
Companies, either temporarily or otherwise, for
the protection of the city, at least during the ab
sence of those now about to depart for Florida.
The importance of such a measure must be too
obvious to all, to need any illustration, and we
trust, will be approved and aided by all, with a
spirit worthy of the occasion. Those who cannot
leave home at this time, will at least shew them
selves willing to assume, at home, temporarily,
at least, the duties of those who so generously
leave it for the protection of their fellow-citizens
abroad.

SOUTHERN EVANGELIST-.
We have received the first No. of a new reli
gious paper, published in Charleston, 8. G; under
the title of the Southern Evangelist, which is
devoted to the support of the doctrine of univer
sal salvation. It is neatly printed, on fine paper,
and will be issued weekly, at the low price of
$2,50 per annum. Its original matter is written
with ability, and in a proper Christian spirit. It
can be seen at our office, and wo recommend it to
the attention of the public.
THE PARMER’S REGISTER.
We have received the January No. Os this ex--
tellent work, published and edited by Edmund
Ruffin, Esq.—the contents of which may be

County, but, as the editor announces in the No.
before us, its place of publication has been chan
ged to Petersburg, Virginia, to which place, all let
ters to the Editor must hereafter be directed.
The contents of - this No., which are as usual

A match race for $32,000, was made on Mon-

by Bertrand, dam by Pacolct; Bill Austin, 4

$15,000, on the part of Cither one of Col. Crow
ell's stable, to be named dn Tuesday, the 12th ol
April next, when the race is to be run, over the
Augusta Course —4 mile heats—half the stakei
to be forfeited in case of either not running.—
There will also be regular races oil the other suc
ceeding days of the same week, with large purses
one, we understand, of SI,OOO. Great sport ii
expected. The match race will probably exciti
greater interest than any one ever run in th(
South, if not the whole country; and from the
facilities of travelling to Augusta, from all quar
ters, an immense concourse of spectators may be
~ expected. Already the greatest interest has been
manifested by the gentlemen of the Turf who

INDIAN HOSTILITIES,
s The distressing news which Wo publish td-Jay,
‘‘ from the seat of war in Florida, via Mobile and
e New Orleans, shews the hostilities of the Indians
1. to be of the most Serious character, Arid the con
'* dition of the troops and citizens there highly
J critical. It is high time for the people generally,
i, throughout the country, to like prompt and deci
it ded measures for the protection of their fellow
I citizens, ere assistance be 100 Idle; in eonsidcr
, ing their condition, it is the duty of every one to
y look upon it as his own ; and certainly no one
can say how soon the situation of each may be
j. reversed. It will be seeii, by the Meetings of the
_ citizens and the City Council, held yesterday,
J that the emergency has been met in this city with
•I a becoming spirit; and fidni tho arrangements
making, there is no doubt that one or two large
volunteer companies will leave hero for Florida
as soon as the necessary preparations can be made
» for their departure. A strong general Feeling of
J sympathy and enthusiasm was manifested yester
-3 day at the meeting (which was one of the most
, numerous and respectable ever witnessed in the
city,) and the utmost tcidiuess on the part of those
who cannot possibly leave, to contribute pecunia
rily to the expedition; but it was suggested, and
t very properly urged, that the expenses ought to
* bo paid by the entire community, through the
City Council, rather than by a portion of it; and a
motion to that effect was adopted. The Mayor of
; the city, who presided at tho Meeting, immedi
' ately after its adjournment convened the City
Council, which acceded to the proposition of the
meeting with a promptitude and alacrity highly
creditable; and nothing will now be wanting on
the part of the joint committee, to fit out the de
tachment as quickly as possible.
It will be seen by reference to the notice in our
advertising columns, that the Governor has invi
ted tho Volunteer Corps throughout the State,
which may be disposed to march to the aid of the
people of Florida, to signify to him their willing
ness to do so; and we learn by a Circular, address
ed to the Corps of this City, that he has privately
instructed them to report to him immediately .their
numbers, the names of their officers, and the
number willing to march to Florida ; and to hold
, themselves in readiness to march at a moments
warning. Similar instructions have been given,
, we presume, to all the Volunteers Corps in the
Siitc; and we trust they will bo met by each
with a spirit worthy of the true titized soldier.
At a meeting of the two Volunteer Corps last
evening, si.cty-six of the Richmond Blues (35
old members, and 31 new ones) volunteered to
march immediately—and 22 of the Richmond
Hussars. —The Meeting of the latter does not ap
pear to have been sufficiently known, and a Com
mittee was therefore appointed to attend at the
United States Hold, from 10 o’clock A. M. till
4 o’clock P. M. To-dav, to rccivo Volunteers.
Should any ho disposed to volunteer, who have
not horses, they Would no doubt be provided, to
gether with, the other equipments, by the joint
Committee of the Council and the citizens. An
1 opportunity will still be afforded, for two or three
days, till the companies are ready to march; for
persons from the country to volunteer.

SOUTHERN AGRICULTURIST. w
The first No. of Vol. 9. for January; 1836, of 11
this very valuable and interesting work, is tccciv- “
ed, and, as usual, is full of valuable informa- *
tion to the Agricultural portion of our common!- 11
ty —to the patronage of whom, we again earnestly /
recommend it; This No. is accompanied by a a
large and handsome crigraving of If 'hittemore’s 11
Improved Gin, for Sea Island Colton, and six “
wood cuts illustrative of the principles and prac- I'
tice of Draining. The Southern Agriculturist 0
is published by A. E. Miller, Esq. of Charles

whoso association with it is noticed in the follow-
ihg very flattering terms by tho Columbia Tele

“ Southern Agriculturist. —We are indebt
ed to the publisher of this Journal for the first “
No. of the New series which it begins under the si
Editorship of B; R; Carroll, Esq. —a gentleman Vi
of whose high competency to the task that ho
has undertaken, personal knowledge of his de
votion to this pursuit, and of his general literary °
abilities, enables us to speak with praise. We q
arc glad to see good and solid talents, such as he p
possesses, find steady diligence, enlist themselves
in an object as worthy to occupy them, as is this
undertaking. Wo confidently predict that his E
labors will rapidly elevate tho usefulness of the p
publication and attract to it the favor, which sel
dom fails to visit that which effects a decided pub
lie good.
To the efforts of a gentleman, like Mr. Carrbll, p
capable of turning Scientific research to tho ad- tt
vancement of the practical art Os husbandry, we, „
of the South, have yet lb look, for the benefits
which the general neglect of these investigations b
scarcely permits Us as yet to imagine. It is tb g
such, and to the spirit and the knowledge which
they are til diffuse, that wo must finally turn,
when, liberty secured, wo shall ftiaut prosperity.
It is they who must teach our people better arts
than that of the land hunter, and bettor purposes
than the melancholy and sordid resource of a
heartless migration, that can renounce every good J:
and every affection of civilized, life, in order to *
1 swell the Useless Store of wealth, that is lb bestow d
no fresh refinement nor even enjoyment. It is, n
in a word, ibis essay and deligbtlul pursuit of n
I an enlightened and systematized Agriculture,— I
f tho most natural of resorts for our Well-educated ‘
planters—that must make our people see that 6
1 fortune may be won, at homo, by methods as ”
1 much more elevating and honorable as they arc .
patriotic than this sad business of expatriation, | ’
We venture to assert that, as to the mere gross 0
acquisition of wealth, notliing cart be done, by , a
renouncing birth-place, home, and country; and ! a
by burying bite’s self in the wilderness, that is!”
. not attainable, at home, by equal effort, directed h
to the improvement of one’s lands, and of the |
art of cultivating them. Fortunes are no doubt i *
made in the West; and so they may equally be,
’ without stirring from homo, by tliosfc who have ”
3 the coUtage to inflict upon themselves the priva- 1
lions inevitable t» emigrants. Will not any man v
who will live in a hovel here—sec no company,
spend no money, except on the bare necessities of i 8
life, leave his children uneducated, live like a say- 8
8 age, make money I Undoubtedly he will. This f
a is whatmen do when they migrate : and it would J
be hard, indeed, if, for such sacrifices, they did not 1
obtain the miserable and most inadequate reward c
'■ 0 f r i c hcs, almost useless to them under these cir- J
cumstanccs. _ .
The cultivation of Scientific Agriculture, on
the other hand, bestows, first of all, the noble ad- t
vantage of enlarging the understanding and gi- t
ving it an useful and delightful object. It saves t
us from the sad necessity of breaking the lies of ’
! birth, affection and patriotism ; and from the yej
sadder one of easting our lot among people ant
institutions, where all is yet tecont and unfixed
It is, at this moment, accomplishing, for a porlior

the most rapid restoration of property and wealth
Multitudes of individuals arc there, in soils and a
climate of far less various resources than oui

their farms, of a skilful rural Economy. Wt
trust that our State is upon Ihe eve of like im

FOR TUE AUGUSTA CURONICLE,
Messrs Editors : — As one among the many
reasons why no more privileges should be extend
ed to the Bank of Augusta, by the Legislature,
t will call yonr attention to some of the acts of a
I Bank Committee, in the formation of which I
Understand this Institution took the load. This
Committee was composed of gentlemen from the
direction of dll the City Banks, with oilo honor
able exception, and il was created for tho osten
»ible purpose of reforming the currency, end es
tablishing d sound arid solid circulating rfledllim.
This was their declared object, but their acts told
quite (i different tide. It so happened that some
gentlemen of the city found it for their interest
to call on these committee Banks, for the payment
of some of their bills, which they had taken in
the course of their regular business. It then ap
peared that tile committee gentry were not wil
ling to pay their debts in the legal currency of the
country. That formed Ho part of their system
of piftliridf the citculdling medium on a solid
basis. It was altogether l6i solid for their ideas
of currency. It was monstrous! They declared
it “ outrageous ,” and cried out, that these gentle
men were “running the Banks." Accordingly,
Ihe secretary convoked the grand committee, and
after grave and solemn debate, they resolved, that
if any individual should dare to call on them to
pay their just debts, in the legal currency of
the country, his account should forthwith be
stopped by all of the committee Banks. Their
high-handed measures did not stop here. They
wrote to tho different Banks of the State, threat
ening them that if they extended to these out
lawed individuals any facilities, they would im
mediately compel them to pay specie for their
notes. As might have been expected, the dounliy
Banks paid no attention to this pompous mani
festo. They were not subservient to any dicta
tor, to be drilled as he might think proper, nor
did they act upon the creed of Doctor Ftancia,
the Dictator of Paraguay.
1 understand this committee generally held Us
meetings in tho night: “They hale the light
whose deeds ore dark.” I fancy that if its journal
U'ere ildw cxpdsed W the bread light of day, Ihe
kl.iotr ontof iltoir intrigues would make
them recoil with übhorrenco from their ucte.
Some of them see at this day that for another
“they had 'filed their mind.” In what an impos
ing light did the members of this committee stand
before the world. A sel of men, not contented
with exercising the privileges of an odious mo
nopoly, but scheming to blast the reputation
and credit of individuals with other monied in
stitutions, as these plotting gentlemen were un
willing to extend to others what they claimed
for themselves. Happily these individuals were
above their reach. They did not, ii or eber wilt,
truckle to their behests. They had never been
allured by the syren sdrtg of Banks, and their
partizans, which “lead to bewilder” and entice
only to destroy.
Before taking leave of this committee, I would
respectfully call their attention to an incorporated
Company of tho State, yclept the “Pigeon Roost
Mining Conipany,” who arc issuing very neatly
engraved drafts on their Treasurer; in fact these
drafts look very much like the notes which these
Banks palm off on the community ; and report
says, that those drafts arc generally preferred
where they arc known. Now, I would recom
mend an Embassy, to consist of all the members
of this potent committee, (they kilow in what
quarter to apply for instruction* J lo the “Pigeon
Roost Mining Company,” to remonstrate against
their proceedings, and dictate terms bf peace,
But should they find the “Pigeon” party “snugly
perched on a popular bough,” tod high lo be
“hawk’d at and killed,” they should atoneb retire
to the riest df the “mousing owl ,” as their acts
partake of the character of that ill-omened bird,
and may
“Black night driwrap them in her gloomy slnide.”
It is hoped, however, that the community, as well
as the State, will bear the loss of their retirement
with fortitude and becoming composure;
