CHARLESTON COURIER.
We understand that an arrangement, has been
entered into, between the Courier and the Con
stitutionalist of this city, by which the la'ter, to
gether with the subscribers to the Courier, are
furnished with the Courier of a later date, than
the one sent by the same conveyance, and in the
same package, to this office. We have always
scut the Chroncle to tbe Courier of the same
date as the one sent to the Mercury, or any of the
other papers with which we exchange, or any of
our subscribers in Charleston, and we did not
for a moment suppose, until we were convinced
• of the fact, that the Editor oflhe Courier could he
guilty of so narrow minded, pitiful, and contemp
tahle course of conduct, as is manifested in his
withholding from us his paper, of the date which
he sends to the Constitutionalist and subscribers
in this place.
THE CONSTITUTIONALIST.
Our neighbors of the Constitutionalist, effect
much surprise at many of Gen. Jackson’s friends
being “ opposed to the election of Mr. Van Bu
uen,” and charge them with an “inconsistency
that cannot he reconciled.” We have heretofore
supposed that one might admire the noble daring
of the Lion, and at the same time detest the cun
ning of the stealthy Fox, without subjecting them
selves to the charge of inconsistency. And what
ever may he said of the daring assumptions of
Gen. Jackson, we believe him honest, and when
he has been left to act for himself, and has erred,
it was an error of the head, and not of the heart.
But his acknowledged incapacity to discharge the
duties of his station, has compelled him to call to
his aid, those who have duped and deceived
him ; and like some editors, who, honest in the
begining, have suffered themselves to be control
led by the master spirit of others, till they have
lost all individuality of character, and forgotten
what were the principles they formerly advocated;
And however greatly Gen. Jackson has erred, ho
cannot be regarded as an intriguer. It may be
true, that “ Mr. Yan Burcn has repeatedly assu
red the people of the United States, that he will
take, if elected, the administration of Gen. Jack
son os a guide for his own,” but that the political
principles which he has always maintained must
he a “strong guarantee that ho will not depart
fiom the measures and policy of the present Ad
ministration,” we cannot admit: for, if we are to
judge his future course by the principles ho has
heretofore “ maintained,” we should siy that his
Adminisitration would present a combination of
opposing principles,never before embodied hy any
other man this side of the Atlantic. All know that
he has, sooner or later, “ maintained ” the princi
ples of every Administration of this Government,
and has been a member of every parly in his j
own State; besides he is now committed on the
side of the Abolitionists; he has declared it, as
his opinion, that “ Congress has the constitution
al right to interfere with, and abolish slavery in
the District of Columbia,’* and this is all the Ab
olitionists desire for the present—only give them
a plank to stand upon, and they will give us “ war
to the Knife.” With these facts staring them m
the face, the editors of the Constitutionalist call
upon the people to give Mr. Van Buren their
support. It is to us truly astonishing, to see the
wreckless ’course which party zeal will lead men
to pursue; for ourselves we should as soon think
of asking an enemy for a knife to cut his throat,
as to ask the Southern people to support a man
identified with the Abolitionist—a man too, who
deemed it “ sufficient honor to have served un
der such a Chief as Gen. Jackson”—degra
ding sentiment!—it alone, should politically
damn its author, with an intelligent, independent,
and free people.
LETTERS FROM FLORIDA.
“ Picolata, E. Florida, March 20, 1836.
I arrived here last night about 11 o’clock, in
the steamer Florida, from Savannh, via Darien,
St. Mary’s, and Jacksonville—having departed
from Savannah at 11 o’clock on Wednesday
morning. The troops have all left this post ex
cept two companies of Regulars, under command
of Maj. Gates, and Capts. Mebciiant and Di.u
mick. Lieut. Dt'SENBEBRT, who was formerly
stationed at the arsenal near Augusta, is now sta
lioned here, and acting as Commissary. Maj.
Cooper’s Bettallion of Georgia Volunteers, de
parted from camp Augusta, on the opposite side
of the river, for Fort Drane, this morning, some
hours before day light, (cxccept some 10 or 12,
who returned in the Florida on account of sick
ness,) and Gen. Erma, left camp Scott, four or
five miles above on this side of the river, yes
terday, for Volusia, in a Steam Boat, with a
small detachment of Regulars, and some horses.
The company ofU. S. Dragoons (Capt. Whar
ton) passed through Jacksonville, on Friday, on
the way to Fort Drane, via. Whiteville, on Black
: Creek—leaving two invalids at Jacksonville,
Whom we carry on in the Florida, which leaves
here for Whiteville at 2 o’clock. Whiteville is a
small depot on Black crock, which empties into
this most beautiful river about 25 miles below,
and 6 or 3 miles below this place.
All the recent news of interest you will have
. received before this reaches you, in the Jackson
r ville Courier of Thursday last—i paper which
1 deserves great credit for its indefatigable exertions
|in obtaining and distributing throughout the
i country, (he most important and authentic news
f of the war, as well as for the general discretion
• and judgement manifested in its accounts, and
1 th<! s P iril Bnd with which it is conducted ;
i and I earnestly hope that all this will be properly
. appreciated and rewarded by many of those who
■ have experienced the benefit or gratification ofit.
1 | The recent proposition of peace and submission
, \ by Oscola, is thought by most to he a mere ruse,
, ] to gain lime, and remove the women and children
forth .-r into the peninsula, as nothing has been
. heard from him since, notwithstanding his promise
to meet Col. Clinch at Fort Diane. We shall
soon sec, as it is said Gen. Scott will depart
from Fort Drane to the Wilhlacoocbeo as soon as
i the stores now waiting for, arrive at the former
, place.
j From what I learn from intelligent individuals,
I and particularly Capt. S———, who is well ac
quainted with the Indians and their character and
j country, and who commanded the friendly ones
j under Gen. Gaines, on the Withlacoochee, and
I was severely wounded there, I think it altogether
improbable that Oscola was sincere in his proses-
I sion of peace, or that the Indians can be subdued
before the sickly season commences; or, conse
quently, before the next winter campaign, as all
concur in this opinion, that they cannot be pursu
ed into the deep swamps and everglades bf the pe
ninsula, during the sickly season, without the
most fatal results. The atmosphere there, does
not affect the health of the Indians, nor the heat
debilitate them, or check their activity—while in
the winter they are much dispirited and enfeebled
by the cold, and averse to action, and leave their
i fires as little as possible.—Capt. S. informs me
that the celebrated Oseola is not the principal
chief, and before the war, was merely a petty
chief, or law giver, or administrator of the law,
but early joined the war parly, and hy his natural
and general superiority of character, has placed
himself at the head ofit, and obtained the di
rection of the war. Ho lias great influence over
■ the Indians, and probably but for him, the war
would hot have occurred, and now would not
continue. The report Os his having been educa
ted in our schools is altogether incorrect, as he
is wholly illiterate, but intelligent, reflecting, and
sagacious, with great energy, boldness, and deci
sion of character, and coolness of temper; and
he has undoubtedly studied our system of milita
ry tactics, and even, it is said, drilled with our
troops, at Tampa Bay. The manner in which
he succeeded in deluding the Indian Agents and
others, even after hostilities had been strongly de
veloped, sufficiently proves his cunning, and ad
dfess; and it is said he obtained from them va
rious kegs o. powder, under promises, which
• were never performed, of apprehending and de
livering up Indians who had committed depreda
tions.—Gen. Gaines left Fort Drane for New
Orleans, via Tallahassee, on the 14th hist.”
“ Whiteville, March 20lh, 1836.
“Just arrived here, 7 o'clock P. M. on our way
up the creek, (which, by the by, might pass fora
very respectable river.) about 10 miles below, vve
met Col. David E. Twioos, Maj. Montfort,
j and Maj. Lear of the U. S. Army, and Capt.
Marks (formerly of Augusta) of the Louisiana
Volunteers, in an open boat, on their way to Jack
fionville, and took them aboard. They left Fort
Drane the day before yesterday, on their way to
New Orleans, aud will pass through Augusta—
were all in the recent engagements on the Wilh
lacdochec, and as they will probably remain a day
or two in Augusta, our citizens will have an op
portunity of extending to them the kind attention
which their acknowledged gallantry, and patriot
ism,and the severe privations they so nobly encoun
tered and endured in the service of the country,
so richly deserve. Honor and gratitude attend
them, and all their brave and generous comrades
wherever they go.
I depart for Fort Drane in tiro morning, and in
taking leave of tiro Steamer Florida, cannot for
bear to express the grateful feelings entertained,
not only by myself, but all who have travelled in
her from Savannah, towards Capt. Hkdiiaro,
her able, indefatigable, and gentlemanly comman
der, for bis very kind and attentive deportment
during the passage, as well as the highest confi
dence in his experience and ability, and Iris deep
solicitude and care, as well as unwearied and al
most sleepless attention, in every department of
his arduous, and responsible duties. For my own
part, after travelling thousands of miles in Steam
Boats, I can say, with confidence, that I have ne
ver met with the master of any one more worthy
of so deeply important a station, and the confi
dence and respect of his employers, and the pub
lie.”
Pout Drane, March 12th, 1836.
I have an opportunity of sending a letter to
Picolata to-morrow, and therefore attempt to give
you some account of what has occurred since I
wrote you on the 2d instant. On the 4th, after
dark, an express arrived from Gen. Gaines, the
purport of which I could not ascertain, but the
Volunteers and Regulars at this post were order
ed to be ready to march early the next morning,
for Gen. Gaines’ encampment. About 11 the
next day, Gen. Clinch, with all the forces under
his command (except a few from each company,
which were left for the protection of the Fort)
took up the line of march for the Withlacoochee*
River, and it was thought impossible that they
could arrive there without having a contest with
Powell and his forces, who were reported to have
surrounded Gen. Gaines’ Encampment.—The
1 • same evening about sundown, we arrived at
Charley Town, fa deserted Indian Village,
1 j which belonged to the late chief Charley O’Math
| la,) about 12 miles distant from Fort Drane, and
j encamped there for the night, without Buy thing
I occurring worthy of notice.—Tire next morning
’ a little after daylight, we were again on the line
1 of march, and about 10 o’clock were within 7
> miles of Gen. Gaines, at which time, a yell,
■ supposed from about 30 Indians, was board by a
5 1 portion of the men, and the yell was repeated a
* ; short time afterwards. But, when we were
* | about a mile and a half from the end of our march,
' wo were saluted by the yells (ibis yell is like a
’ ; cry of persons in distress, and I am imformed is
1 quite different from the warwhoop) of a large
• number in the hammocks on both sides of u".
11 which were kept up for some time. We expec
,' toil every moment to be fired upon by them, and
i ■ for them to make their appearance in frill charge
! towards us, for which each man was well proper
i ed, and “ eager for the fray.” We had in com
pany at this lime, about 130 mounted Volunteers,
(consisting of 2 nr 3 companies collected from
i the country adjacent to Fort Drane,) under the
command of Maj. McLkmoue, who left Fort
Drane for Con. Gaines’ Encampment, with pro
visions, stores, dec. the day previous to our march,
and were directed by Gen. Clinch, after the re
ceipt of Gen. Gainks’ Express, to wait for us at
Charley Town, which they did. This mounted
force acted throughout the day as flankers on
each side of ns ; and while the yelling was kept
up, about six of them fired on a number of Indians
whom they saw retreating as fast as possible.
Wc were in a few minutes in sight of Gen.
Gaines’ breastwork, and were received hy (lie
men under his command with much pleasure, for
they had boon without bread for several days,
and for two or three days had been living on lire
meat of two horses, a dog, and palmetto roots,
which had been their only subsistence for that
length of time.—We arrived about half past 4
o’clock, and there I heard the following informa
tion :—The Indians had crossed the river, and had
kept up a continual fire upon the breastwork
round his encampment until about 10 o’clock on
the night previous to our teaching them, but
without doing much injury. In about an hour
after they ceased firing, the Indians sent in
some negroes bearing a white flag, who slated
that the Indians wanted no more war, hut would
now enter into a treaty with them, if they
would not cross the river. [They also told of
our approach, and this shows, their watchfulness,
and the speed with which they communicate in
formation from one place to another, for we had
only loft Fort Drano at 11 o’clock, A. M. and at
It o’clock P’ M. they gave information to Gen.
Gaines of our coming, a distance of 35 miles.]
Tire negroes wore told to inform the Chief that
they could approach the camp next day, wilt a flag,
without danger, and they returned to the Indian
camp. The noxtday Powell and Jumper, with an
interpreter, came near to the encampment, and
after expressing their disposition to have no more
fighting, and to enter into a treaty, they
made some propositions (the object of which I
could not learn) which were rejected. Gen. G.
told tham that he could enter into no other terms
with them than an unconditional surrender on
their part; and Powell, who appeared much dejec
ted, seemed td agree to almost atiy terms tlltil
might be proposed—and it was thought bo would
have come into these terms, but for our approach,
which Powell discovered wiled we Were at a con
siderable distance, and made off with iris company
to the woods as fast as possible, saying they would
not meet again on this side of the river, for they
wore afraid of Gen. Clinch, who,they said would
murder them in cold blood, but would come to the
opposite bank of the river at 9 o’clock next mor
ning. Ho also gave orders to the Indians, (great
numbers of whom were seen sitting on tire
stumps of the trees at the edges of the hammocks,
during this conference,) not to fire at us, as we
approached, and their yells, mentioned above,
were for the purpose of informing each other of
our coining.—The Indians sent four negroes next
morning to inform Gen. G. that they were not
ready to meet him, on account of the absence of
tlreir Chief Micanopy, but would do so next mor
ning. They did not come, and nothing more lias
been seen or heard of them, and it is now thought
that all tins lias been dune to give them time to
move off'with their families which I am t Id they
have done. Two friendly Indians wcre.sent over to
obtain information, and returned with the nows
that the hostile Indians had fled. During Tues
day and Wednesday a number of the Blues and
others were fishing & bathing in the river, which
isnolmore than 30 yards wide, without being mo
lested. On Wednesday, Gen Gaines gave up all
command to Gen. Clinch, for what reason lean
not learn; and the next day, at half past I, we
took up the line of march on our return to this
post, where wo arrived about balfpast 7 last eve
ning, leaving the Louisiana Volunteers, with a
portion of the Regulars, (I believe all Gen. G's
former company,) in good quarters about 5 miles
from this post.—Gen. Gitincs is now here, and
what will be his stay, or where he will go to, I am
unable to learn.
Geh. Scott has not yet arrived, but he is ex
pected in a day or two at farthest. The Putnam
county Volunteers arrived last night, as an es
cort to a number of provision wagons, and are
now encamped here.—Wc expect to be ordered
to march against the Indians again in two or
three days, who are said to be about four or five
miles on the other side the river, but it is impos
sible to get where they are. I hope we shall meet
them in a few days, and that we shall be able to
finish the war without delay. Tiro Blues are
generally in good health.
The starved men, horses, cattle, &c. which
were turned over by Gon. Gaines to Gen. Clinch,
arc indeed a painful sight. The poor Louisiana
Volunteers are truly tube pitied! The bind
leg of a dog was bought for $5 by one of them,
and this will give you some idea of their situa
tion. We left here wilhyftre days provisions, and
were seven days gone; and many of our men
who were liberal to their brother Volunteers, suf
fered much from hunger, before they got back.”

IMPORTANT FROM INDIAN KEY.
INnIAN TUOUB LEB,
Extract of letters received in this City, dated
“Indian Ker, March 17.
“ It is now ascertained without doubt, that there
is a large number of hostile Indians embodied
near Cape Sable, within 30 miles of us, and the
inhabitants of this Island arc hourly in imincni
danger of an attack. What wc always appreben- i
ded has turned out to be lire case, that as they
. were driven from the North Eastern part of the
I interior, they would retreat to the S.intern point
and the Keys. One canoe came to this Island
1 yesterday with only one Spaniard in it, under the
• pretence to trade; suspicions, however, arose that
Ire did not coma alone, and wo conclude I to keep
him here. In the course of llrodav we obliged
him to tell that 2 Indians came with trim, and
that he had left them on an Island about one m.le
distant.
A boat was immediately dCspdlehed with a
number of men in scaretr of l! cm, and alter some
di Acuity, they were found and brought to this I-- j
land, where I think they will be kept safe for the
present; we have every reason to believe they were j
spier; they have already acknowledged Ural there |
is a largo number of Indians near Cope Sable. It
is of great important e that a force should be im
mediately sent t > this part of Florida. This place
as well as Key West is much exposed, but 1 have
no doubt this will bo lire first to receive an attack ;
we have no protection; there is not even one Re
venue Cutler now on the Const.”
“Indian Kky. March 17, 3 o'clock. A. M.
•* Several of the inhabitants of Ibis Island came
in very late yesterday evening, apparently much
alarmed from what they have learnt from the In
dians taken yesterday, and begged me to write a
few lines to have put in the papers in Charleston.
To pacify them I told thorn if 1 hail lime I would,
lint that I hud more than I knew how to get thro’
with to-night. It is now past 2 o'clock, morning,

certainly in danger of an attack, and it astonish

sent round here, but they are driving the Indiana

result if they should comp down upon us.”
From the Sentinel,
No. 88.
To Mr. SecAKKii Polk,
Sir Wo the good people of the Stale of
Georiga, some two or three years ago, took a
wonderful liking to Democratic. Union, Jefferso
nian, Republicanism ; and accordingly we picked
out nine of the best specimens of this faith, that
we could find, and elected them to represent lire
Slate of Georgia in Congress.—-They all left here
along in November and December last, with new
doilies on, and as we supposed for Wa rrington
City ; but as wc have never beard of but one of
them, (Glascock) since their departure, we begin
to feel uneasy about them ; and the object of this
letter is to enquire, whether Any of the rest ol
them, ever got to Congress. Some suppose that
they arc on hoard the Steam Boat, Washington ;
others, that they are scattered about among the
various towns and counties of dint name, having
taken up their residences at those places by mis
take. I can hardly, however, think this proba
ble ; for all the D. U. J. R. presses, told us lief ire
they were elected, that they were powerful smart
men. "Will yon inform us whether they ever
reached Congress Hall, and whether they are
now liter o 1 If they are, bo good enough to ask
them whether it is’ut time for them to begin to
represent us! We’re gelling ’musing uneasy
about them, for fear they will let Congress ad

put the rule upon ’em, “no work, ho pay.”
We’ll not grumble at paying them a dollar a

structod him to go to the Clerk's disk, seize the 1
minutes, and burn them up! Would any person '
other than a knave or fool contend tha l this was ■
a binding instruction ! Wc will not imagine that 1
any one could he infamous enough to advocate -
his obedience of such a request. 1
But we a>k onr readers, in what does a resolu- 1
lion to burn differ from a resolution to expunge! 1
In nothing. Both me snhversise of tire Constitu
tion, which requires the Senate to keep a journal. '
ami if that journal can lie lawfully destroyed by '
one process, it can lie by any other.
The attempt is disgraceful to the age, and shows '
how low party sycophancy can entry men profes
sing to be free I The constitutional records of
the land are to be mutilated, to (latter and sooth
the vanity of a tyrannical and despotic old Presi
dent. Let ns no more point to Romm meanness
and Roman degradation. Augustus had not
around him more venal flatterer* than Gen. Jack
son. The parasites of the Prince, who. like our
President, started with the declaration that one
term of office was enough for him, did not, with
all their infamous servility, attempt to falsify his
tory. This effort Wria reserved sos aUothcr time,
for another nation, for a repuhtid, enlightened la l - I

, It is my intention to depart for Europe, in the lat

visit that country of which Mrs. Breithaupt is a
• native.
Under the Will of the-late Christian Brei
thnupt, ? large Estate was given to Mis. Brei
thaupt, during the term of her natural life : at
her doth, to ho divided among his relatives in
Germ my. It will be seen that the relatives of
Mrs. Breithaupt are altogether excluded under
I the Will. Neatly the whole of the estate of
j Christian Breithaupt was received from his Wife,
Mrs. Ureilluiupt, an I jualice require) that her re
lative) should enjoy a portion of the benefit. It
; is with a view of vindicating their rightful claims,
