in uur advertising columns, of a very valuable
and cheap work, uder the above title, published
by W.u. \V. Snowden, Esq. of N. York, (pub

«fiOUVI GLORYn MORE GLORY!!!
The Richmond Enquirer says, that the settle
ment of the French question will gain more glo
ry for Gen. Jackson, than did the battle of New
Orleans ! We do not remember when we have
seen a more brazen and impudent assertion. To
say that the very man, who has used all his influ
ence, to involve the countiy in a war with France,
is to be crowned with glory, by the failure of his
project, is more than we had expected, even from
the sycophantic partizan of the Enquirer, Verily,
Mr. Ritchie must possess a most potent method
of converting everything he desires to the clout
of Gen. Jacksou!
MODERN ACTING DRAMA, &c.
Wo lake groat pleasure in recommending to
the attention and patronage of our readers, the
prospectus (in our advertising columns) of an ex
cellent and very cheap work, under the above ti
tle—and also the Gentleman's Vade Mecum,
jYovelist's Magazine, and the Salmagundi,
mentioned therein—all published by Charles
Alexander, Esq. Athenian Buildings, Frank
lin Place, Philadelphia. They arc all valuable of
their kind. The first six volumesofthe Modern
. icling Drama arc beautifully printed and bound,
and with the improvements designed, (as men
tioned in the prospsetus,) it will bo the most at
tractive and perfect work of the kind ever publi
shed. The Salmagundi —the four first Nos. of
which have been received, aud may be seen at our
office —is the most singularly and attractively co
mical and amusing publication of any kind, that it
has ever been our lot to meet with; and to its rea
ders we may well say, and perhaps as appropri
ately as it was ever yet said,
“Let those laugh now, who never laughed before;
And those who always laughed, now laugh the
more.”
COLUMBIA VOLUNTEERS.
Some days ago, the citizens of Columbia comi
ty, in testimony of their high admiration of the
sei-sacriflcing devotion, courage, and patriotism
manifested by her volunteers, in so promptly ten
dering their services to the Governor, to march at
a moments warning to the relief of their suffering
' countrymen in Florida, gave them a public din
ner, at Appling.—The company, under the com
mand of Capt. Ramsey, was formed, and march
, cd to the front of Mr. Avery’s Hotel, where was
! presented to them a beautiful Banner, with its
hrillian stripes and glitteriug stars over the Amer
ican Eagle, and bearing the inscriptions “Colum
ria Volunteers,” and “To tub Rescue”—pre
pared by the patriotic Ladies of Appling aud its
vicinity, expressly for the occasion.—We know
of no people who have shown more willingness
to encounter the perils of a Florida campaign
and regret that their ardent desire to reccivi
marching orders has not been gratified; for, ani
maud by such a spirit as they have manifested, S
inspired by the recollection, that their Banne
was received from the hands of the patriotic am
beautiful daughters of their own county, ou
life upon it, that Banner wonld have waved ii
triumph over its enemies, or mournfully dioope
over the graves of its defenders.
GENERAL GLASCOCK.
‘•Wc rejoice (says the Washington News) t
find that Georgia has one Representative in Cor
gress who will not betray her rights, her interests
and her honor, on the Abolition question, for th
| treasonable purpose of aiding the corrupt aud pro
j fligatc Kinderhooker to the Presidency, howeves
much he may desire to compass that object by
- other mcaus, Gen. Glascock seems to have en
tirely separated himself from his colleagues upon
(L- this subject, all of whom sceni religiously to bc-
lieve, that they were sent to Washington for no
|{g other purpose but to aid and assist Marlin Van Bit
sL- ren to the Presidential chair, and glorify General
Jackson. Gen. Glascock has taken a sound and
Lite • • •
patriotic position tm this subject, in bis protest to
e k- ( ' IC reference of Mr. Pinckney’s resolution to a

the strength, and rich in the vitality of truth—a

SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNAL.
j„ We take pleasure (says the Charleston Mercu
ry,) in transfering to our columns, from Mr. Ra
oukt’s paper, the Philadelphia Gazette, the fol
"® lowing just tiibute to Mr. Whitaker’s Journal,
and to the article on the Colton papers particu
le latly, which wc happen to know was written by
n, our accomplished fellow-citizen, James W.
hi Simmons, Esq.
„ “We have before us the February number of
’ the Charleston Literary Journal- It is a good one.
st There are many articles in it, both of prose & po
ls ctry, from practised writers and able pens. We
are especially pleased with the editorial depart
p ment. In this particular, it greatly excels any
’ work of the kind in the South. There are no
„ flippant strivings for severity, in the critical no
ticcs, without the power of judgment to justify
< them : a kind of illegitimate independence, far
more hurtful to the, interests of literature, than
" the most indiscriminate praise. It is an easy
matter for the small critic to indulge iu a sneer ;
= but another thing to do it judiciously, or with
benefit.”

the editorial department, we take the following

c A I CUSTA COTTON PICKING COMPANY
A It affords us much pleasure to call the attention
u of our readers to the advertisement of Mr. Uri
Emmons, in relation to his newly invented Pa
-0 tent Cotton Picking Machine, proposing to
1 form a compony, to carry it into effect. As the
‘ Sentinel recently observed, on this subject, “ Won
* dors will never cease;” and wc must confess that
wo considered this project altogether wild and
visionary, till it was explained to us by Mr. Em
mons, as no doubt all those have done, and still
. do, who thus judge of it without tho proper evi
deuce. And tho’we are Slot, now, certain of its
5 success, yet wo think It highly probable, and cm
j incutly Worthy ofa fair and complete trial, till all
doubt is removed, one way or other. As may
well he supposed, it is a most ingenious and sur
, prising invention, and yet, like all great and vain- (
j hie, and successful inventions, very simple and ]
| intelligible in its principles. If successful, it will '
he one of the most extraordinary and valuable in- 1
volitions of the age, aud cannot fail, like the Cot- j
ton Gin, incalculably to promote the prosperity of |
the South, and the wealth of the inventor, and 1
those who now join him in tho enterprise. The
Cotton Gin, too, it will be remembered, was at
first considered as visionary and impracticable as
this, by those who judged it without examin- !
ation and trial; and yet now, how certain, and sue- j
cessful, and wonderful its usefulness, not only to |
the Southern country, hut the entire civilized
world! We say, then, to all, judge not without the
evidence of an examination and trial; and we arc j
sure, that all who will examine it, like those who ,
have yet done so, cannot fail to feel the warmest i
1 interest in giving it a full and complete trial. Al- |
' ready a number of highly intelligent planters,
' and others, have subscribed for shires—among i
1 them His Excellency Governor McDuFftE, of S. \
Carolina—and we earnestly advise all who can t
’ appreciate tho immense value of such an inven- s
’ lion, if successful, to call at the Pavilion, on <
1 Mr. Emmons, who will take pleasure in showing
• and explaining to them his plans and drawings of ‘

’ The February No. of this beautiful and highly
interesting work is one of the best, we think, (
that has yet appeared; and wc take pleasure iu i
earnestly recommending it to the attention of the 1
. public, and particularly the literary petition of it, r
, as highly creditable to the literary character of j
the South, and deserving of the most liberal patro- >
nage of its people, who ought to cherish and fos
[ ter such a work with peculiar pride and pleasure, i
r We have one complaint, however, against the |
present No.; and in this wc differ decidedly from t
tho views of the Baltimore American, whose oth- i
wise just and complimentary article we copy, i
below. Wc mean its very laudatory article on i
’ “ Liberian Literature, ” which wo consider alto- ;
gelhcr unsuited to our Southern region, and as i
indicating a dangeious partiality for that most i
pestiferous and abominable parent of the Abo!i- .
lionists, the Colonization Society. Such things
Is
may, perhaps, be tolerated in Maryland and
w Virginia; hut we can assure the highly cs
is teemed aud respected publisher of tho Mcs-
n ’ scnger, (who wc trust will not doubt the sin
,c ccrity of our regard both for him and his val
ll" uahle work,) that they cannot and will not he
here, where the people look upon tho Coloniza
er. tionists as part and parcel of the Abolitionists,
but more dangerous, because disguising the same
Ur infamous object under a pretence of friendship,
while the Abolitionists at least deal openly and
0 plainly with us, and are so far the more entitled
to respect; and withal, the truly Southern people
have no curiosity whatever, iu Liberian, alias
to Negro Literature!! If Mr. White would see
n- the folly, absurdity, and utter futility of the oslen
ls sible object of the Colonization Society clearly ex
he posed, let him read the admirable, and unanswera-

THE GOVERNOR’S LATE ADDRESS.
Tile last Macon Telegraph contains the follow
ing reply to our remarks of the 17th, on this ad
dress :
“ The illiberal attack upon Gov, Schley in tin
Georgia Messenger of the 11th, we should not
have thought worth noticing, were it not copied
and enlarged iq the Augusta Chronicle, and other
papers of the same stamp. If we noticed it at all
in the Messenger at the time, it was only to re
gret that the editor, (who professes he did not
hear the Address he finds fault wish,) should,
instead of endeavoring to obtain u copy and as
certaining whether his censure was just or not,
attempt to excite feelings and prejudices againsl
it and its author not warranted by the facts. On
the contrary, so far from having any political al
lusion, calculated to wound any portion of his
hearers, the Address appears to lie very carefully
worded, and can hardly he tortured, as far as wc
can see, into anything of the sort. What can he
found in it, by an honest American, who is a
friend to his country,” calculated to hear on his
political feelings I” Hithe a crime to love one’s
country and to express an ardent attachment for
tl; or to reverence the FLAG under which those
he was addressing were marshalled, and under
which so many of his brave countrymen had
risked their lives, —then is Gov. Schley to blame.
The surmise of tho editor that, “if the address
is published, the objectionable part will notap
pear, ”is as ingenious as it is disingenuous ; and
calculated to make the impression that tho’ the
Governor disregarded tho feelings of those he
was addressing he wits unwilling it should so
go out to the world! But we malic Hr) hifsitatlou
in saying, that the surmise of the Messenger is
as unfounded ns the w hole charge is unjust and
illiberal. Wc heard the address delivered, and
have since read It in print j and we believe it to
he word for Word as delivered.
It is extremely to he regretted, that at a time
like the present, when there is so much need of
unanimity,smd all parties arc disposed to suspend,
if Hot to bury their political animosities in a com
mon cause againstour enemies, some restless spir
its arestill found raking over the ashes of party
feuds,and endeavoring to keep alive tho expiring
embers of political strife.
Without publishing the Address in question
at all, as far as we have seen, the Messenger and
Chronicle have attempted to forestall public op
inion against it. It would have been more just
to have published it first. Will they not now as
an act of tardy justice, give it a co-extensivc cir
culation with their remarks I”
No “political allusisn.”! Wc pray you. then,
■what is the meaning of the following extract from
it, comprising all the objectionable part in ques
tion I
“And now permit me, in the longuage of an
eloquent orator of your own Country, to say, “If
ever the American Eagle shall he stretched bleed
ing and lifeless in the dust, it shall he by a shaft
feathered from his own bright pinions; and hit-,
ter will he the curses of men, in all ages to come,
against the traitorous heart and parricidal hand of
him, who shall loose that fatal arrow from the
string.’ — My life on it, he will not he a Georgian.”
This must surely have been intended to mean
something ; and can any one possibly sec or ex
plain any connexion between hand the occasion on
which it was uttered ! So far, we have known but
one attempt it, verbally, and that by so far-fetched
a construction, that lie evidently yielded it, by his
silence, when the absurdity and impracticability
of it was shewn : And he was one of the most
intelligent personal and political friends of the
Governor. All others, friends or opponents, have
admitted it to ho ambiguous and inexplicable, at
least, and irrelevant to the occasion ; while their
most charitable explanation, is, that it is a beauti
ful sentence and figure, & was perhaps introduced
as such, and merely as a flourish, without any mea
ning whatever. If this he the true interpretation
of the matter, we might say, in the language of Mr.
Prr-r, to a member of Parliament who had used a
similarly ambiguous and ostentatious flourish,
which was construed into a treasonable insinua
tion against the King, and when called upon for
an explanation, said he really meant nothing—
“then wc would thank the gentleman, when he
means nothing, to say nothing
But there is a key to the meaning of tho Gov
ernor in this matter, which we have heretofore
refrained from using, because wc have been wil
■ ling, charitably, for the sake of public harmony,
- and even for our ow n sake, after the manner in
■ which wesnoke of him on the 13th ull. to leave
and flic door df explanation wide npcit to him, and
beg accept of any rational and kindly interpretation
, as ofit, that he might think proper to authorize his
>h» friends to give—or even a mere disclaimer of any
it. such allusion as has been suggested— not doubt
ing, that, if he found he had unintentionally deeply
ru- wounded the feelings of men, who, at his appeal,
ers wore generously and nobly leaving all dear to
cs, them, for the defence and protection of their
ily, country, he would at once promptly make such a
ion disclaimer. But he has not thought proper to do
ml so; and this is calculated decidedly to strengthen
la- the impression against him—to shew that he has
so either, intentionally, most grossly insulted his
to political opponents, under tire most unjustifiable
®P of nil possible circumstances—or, having unintcii
he tlonally and painfully wounded them, ho is hov
-IH, crthclcss so utterly regardless and contemptuous
i” of them and their feelings, as to prefer lliat
ia- they should remain under that intprhssloh, ittnl
; h. make up a verdict against him, pl‘b confesso, sa
nd ther than utter a single word In Ukplanalioh, and
>ic sheer justice. And whtltL' is Ihb rational differ
-- cnee, between an iniomiotlitl insult, and a refu
-180 sal to disclaim it) Wheif Uis inferred 1 The Mil
s'® ledgevile published since the quoa
,c - lion was hroathctl by the Messenger— are wholly
of silent on the shlijccl i a tut We must therefore
is- take it fbt grahted that no explanation or disclai
ir" tiler js Jbsigricd. We proceed, then, to show that
there ia it key to Ihc inc lining of the sentence quo
'd ted by Gov. Schley, which goes far to explain its
ly meaning, and to show that ho could scarcely have
y> thought of it, at least, without reference to Nulli
fication, or have used it, except with the allusion
e- to that doctrine which has been inferred. Our
at readers will doubtless recollect the “great debate’
k lu the Senate, on “Fool’s Resolutions,” in 1830,
Jr in which the doctrine of Nullification was first
s, bleached and explained there, by Gen. Hayne,
h and denounced by Messrs, Clayton of Dela
ic ware, Webster, and other Northern Senators;
to and what would they think of Guv. Schley's se
lection of and meaning in the sentence in ques
tion, if they were aware that it was used in that
• debate directly against Nullification—that the
I “hitter curses of men in ull ages to come, aguimt
the traitorous heart and parricidal hand,” &c. was
applied to tho Nullifiers—and that the “eloquent
“ orator of our country” whose language Gov,
j Schley tells us ho uses, is Mr. Clayton of Del
ir aware ?—Such is tho origin of the sentence.
A We were willing, notwithstanding, to accept
t a mere disclaimer of intention to insult ;
I, because wc wished, if possible, to encourage that
general harmony and unanimity among our pco-
B’t 8 ’ t pie, and confidence in their public officers, so ne
n eessary to public energy, and efficiency, and to
1- the character, and honor, aud success of oUr
18 State, in the present emergency. But, if there lie
,g any man, of any parly, that, under a full con
,e ciousness of the origin,and entire circumstances of
a this quotation, can lay his hand on Iris heart, and
8 declare to him. clf that he does mil believe tho
r Governor, in selecting or Using it) had Ihc least ,
i reference to, or thought of Nullification, or that (
J it could he construed as having any allusion
thereto, why—let him do so I
i The Telegraph’s flourish about “a crime to
■ love one’s countiy,” & to “reverence tho Flag," ,
&c. has just as much relevance to the question at
e issue, as tliff Governor’s had to the occasion on ,
a which it was uscdi
1 “It is, [certainly,] extremely to he regretted, ,
I that at a thine like the present, when there is so
J much need of unanimity, and all parties arc [or (
a Should be)] disposed to suspend, if not bury their •
political ahitnositics in a common cause against (
f our enemies, some restless spirits [yea, even the
', Coventor himself,] arc still found raking over the |
‘ ashes of party feuds, and endeavoring to keep |

the 13th, [which contained also, remarks in com- |
mendution of other conduct of Gov. Schley > (
’ in the very face ol this assault upon us] —and ,
that we did not express our disapprobation of it ,
till the succeeding Noi, of the 17th, when the j
comments of the Messenger showed that whatever (
J. might have been the intention ofit, it was looked f
upon Its an assault On the Nullifiers, by those who (
t heard it—even those who were just about to |
leave their homes and families, perhaps forever, ,
’ for the protection of their country I What must ,
, have been the feelings of him, to whose appeal
’ they had thus generously responded, who could (
i have applied to them, the charge of “ traitorous
- hearts, and parricidal hands,” on such an occa- (
i sion ; or who, if he did not intentionally so apply
t it, when he fonnd that it was so understood,
a
I contemptuously refused to do an act of sheer y'n«-
i lice to such men, by disclaiming such intentions!
’ “Would it not have been more just, [in the (
t Telegraph, in commenting on our article,] to |
■ have published it first! Will it now, as an act
.of tardy justice,give U [and this, also,] a co-exton- j
[ sive circulation with its remarks ! ” Is it pre- ,
r pared to practice, what it preaches! Wc shall (
. see | but care not a straw, for our own part,
1 whether it does or hot.
From the Muton Mesoenger.
“It is true, as the Telegraph has told us, that a 1
shout was raised when the Governor ended [rea- f
• ding] his speech. And why Was this shout, sortie t
t one may ask; unless the auditory were gratified !
Simply because one of the officers, a kind, feeling
’ man, let his humane ami gentlemanly disposition
prevail; and raised his voice, and the soldiers, he- ’
r ing men who regarded lit® feelings aitheir officer, i:
- would not hurt them by suffering him to
u shout alone. Accordingly, they followed his ex
ample. But there were officers, gallant officers,
who with hitter regret, confessed their feelings
■ wounded by allusions made in that speech—that
e there was language used calculated to hear hard |
upon their political sentiments. It was from the (
expressions of these men. that we were induced to
I remark, that sentiments hud been expressed by *
II the Governor, “inappropriate and improper”— and i
c wc noW say, they w ere calculated to wound the ,
d feelings of at least nine* out of ten of the officers
n of that volunteer hand; of which every citizet
might well lie proud. We cannot say whether tin
words published, as the address of lire Governor
y arc precisely those delivered by hitm Wo are
I- willing to admit that they arc in substahte.

1 FROM THE VOLUNTEERS.
s Extract from a letter, dated
1 Four Drank, 18 miles from Port King,
February Isr/i, 1830. $
“Understanding that tm opportunity will offer
for forwarding a letter from hero to Piculala, I
avail myself of It to inform you of the arrival of the
Richmond Hines at this post, and to give you
some account of the progress of tho campaign.
My lust was written and sealed before breakfast;
on Ihc morning of the 10th. About 10 o’clock
on that day. one of the Picket Guard saw all Indi
an a considerable distance from the camp, and out
of the reach ofa musket hall. Without firing his
musket, lie gave immediate notice of it to mi offi
cer, aud the captain, with a portion of tile corps,
went in search of him, hut without success. Im
mediately alter their return, they were ordered to
put themselves in readiness for the march, winch
they did, and about half past 11) a battalion was
formed, composed of the Mounted Riflemen, Rich
mond Blues, mid Mclntosh Volunteers, (the latter
I told yob tlnough mistake, iu my last, would re
main behind,) the command of which was ten
dered to Capt, Roiikiitson, who, on accepting it,
delivered u short hut very appropriate and eloquent
address; at the conclusion of which he Wits very
watliily cheered by the Battalion, which, at half
past 12, marched from Camp . htgustn. (so called
by gOhernlcohsont) in the following order:—lst,
A portion of the Mounted Riflemen, deling as a
scouting party. 2d. A piece of Artillery, manned
by twelve members of the Blues, 3d. First pin
toon of ihc Richmond Blues. 4th. Mclntosh
Volunteers, ull acting us the Advance Guard. Dili.
A large number of Wagons, containing U. Slates
Stores, and the provisions and stores of tho Vol
unteers. 6th. 2d platoon of the Blues. 7lh. A
pioccof Artillery manned by a few U.S. Soldiers;
and Blh, the remainder of the Mounted Riflemen,
acting in concert with those in front, as Scouts.
Tho whole procession extended, on the road, the
distance of rather more Ilian half a mile, having
in it about 200 men. They marched that day
about 8 miles, when they encamped for the night.
About 0 o'clock on the morning of the 1 lilt, tve
again look np the lino of march, mid about sun
down) had marched 13 miles, and were 21 miles
from Camp Augusta. About day-break on the
I2lli, just after reveillee, we were called to arms
by an alarm-gun from one of the sentinels, hut
nothing could lie found to excite suspicion. Al
half past 6, wo were again oh the march, and ih
a short time reached a hammock, 4 miles in length,
which wc marched through in safely, and at night
encamped near a deserted house belonging to a
Mr. SpAtiKMAN, having marched 14 miles Unit
day, and 33 from the commencement of ottr route, i
The next morning, 13th, at half past 6, We left our
encampment, and at night, had marched 1.3$ miles. |
We encamped near a house occupied by a man
named I. ani eh, who excited some suspicion, on ac- '
count of his living in the midst of the Indian conn-
try, unharmed,and without f cling the least alarm, ,
when all other houses were descried) tthd, also, I
from the inhospitable manner inwliielt he treated us
when applied to (or different articles of provender,
&c.—for corn, he asked $5 per bushel, which was |
not [laid, as wc did not want it; hut for chickens, ,
he received $ 1 2S cdcll, and for fodder, #3 per
hundred, I Understand he told one of tho Blues, '
that he should feel no more alarm at seeing Indi
aus, than he did at seeing us. At midnight, we |
were called to arms, by a gun fired by one of the
sentinels, but nothing suspicious was seen. On '
the l4th, wc inarched from that place, about sun- ;
rise, ahtl at half past 8 arrived at Micanopy, 4$
miles, where we were very kindly received by the
families who had loft therr homes, and were living
there for safely ; and any article which was wan
ted by the Volunteers, was furnished at their oWn t
price. Wc were again on the march in a short c
time,and arrived al Fort Dranc about half past 2,
(ttC mites from Camp .Augusta) having travelled
tahtday 15$ miles,and been little more than 4 days ,|
on our march. The march, I can assure you,was tl
an exceedingly fatigucing one—the first two days
over excessive had roads, and the whole, through
the most lonesome countiy that you can form any _
conception of. Most of us stiflered severely incur
feet, from this, tons, unusual mode of travelling ;
hut we are now enjoying the necessary rest, and j
I expect we shall remain hero for some time. ! q
There will be nothing done towards
the war until the arrival of Gen. Scott, and the ; ®
arrival ofa much larger force at this post, which
will perhaps ho about 8 or 10 days. I presume ),
there are about 100 or 120 men stationed here, be
sides the force that came with us, and there is 1 v
small force stationed ar Fort King.

Public cilurnny, requires public rebuke* ittid v
public indignation. Your publication riftllcSOtli \
ull. with your u >inted italickfi, “/m/i," wmius (i
s
falrtc, sih it was dUcrci’itable. My reply thereto,
remained unanswered, wlieu iu your succeeding ( j
paper you had to apologize to the 'Savannah |«
rs I Oodrgldrt for your false publication. According
11 to promise, I appear again, to vindicate tho nntion-
r * M character ol the “Irish” against Mr. Guikit, a
re Frenchman, I jltasUitto you wished to divert the
attention of your readers from a French war, and
I- raiso a prejudice against the “ Irish” in tho home ot
*" their adoption, and the assylum of their Exile!
B ! But every enlightened American would respond
ss with Mr. Raniuilimi, “Shew trio an Irish Tory,
j and I will show you a white crow:” and every
Irishman that would patronize your illiberal press,
should ho deemed an unworthy son of Brin, and
i- ho lashed by evety printer’s devil. Be it known
to you. Sir, that the Bones aud sinews of “Irish,”
|. are now in Florida, defending our Country; arid if
il tho French should atteiri)lt Hostilities against our
41 adopted country, under tllelt pretended chivalry,
’ we shall nut he the lust in repelling their aggres
sions or insults.
