It is with pleasure that we announce to our rca dcis the arrival of Mr. Hakt, manager of the The atre in this place. Several distinguished actors and actresses are engaged, and the theatre will be opened to-night—for particulars, see adver tisement aud bills of to-day. SOUTHERN BANNER. A. M. A'isbet has accepted the appointment of Discount Clerk in the Central Bank. We do not know the amount of wages he receives. But it is surprising that his party should have permitted, a man so wonderfully gifted, to have withdrawn from the Editorial department of the Southern Banner, To say nothing of the tremendous loss the country and the cause of civil liberty have sus tained, in his retiring from the duties of an Edi tor, the party to which he belongs, must feel it most heavily, A lew more such losses and they will be in a blue way. The exalted talents of Tomy Haynes cannot save them. GA. INSURANCE A TRUST COMPANY. The Stockholders held their first meeting yes terday ; appointed a Committee to open a transfer Book, so as to enable persons to hold in their own right enough Stock to make them eligible fur di. rectors, which Books, we understand, will be opened This Day, at the office of W. T. Gould. A Committee was also appointed, to report By I Laws, at the adjourned meeting on Saturday next. o ff We understand from 3to 400 shares Georgia Insurance and Trust Stock ebanged hands yesterday at from $45 to 50, for twenty paid in.— Constitutionalist of yesterday, THE AMERICAN TURF REGISTER and Sporting Magazine. The March No. of this work is of much inter est to the lovers of the Turf. It contains an able answer to the inquiries of Mr. Jones, (in the fourth No. of the presnt Vol.) ns to the compara tive merits of English and American racers—a Comprehensive biography of the celebrated horses, - Merman, Felt, and the three tamed brothers, Lancaster, Walton and Ditto, all noted English racers, and the former two, imported to this country by Dr. Merritt. The merits of the work sufficiently recommend it to public atten tion. Its contents are in our advertising co lumns, TEXAS. We publish to-day the Declaration of Indepen dence hy the Conventional Government of Texas, It is very similar to that of the U. States, and breathes a firm and manly spirit. Col. Hcson, who has been appointed an agent to rccivc donations from the citizens of Georgia, Alabama, and Mississippi, to aid the cit izens Texas in procuring the means of carrying on the war now waged against them by Santa Anna, is now in our city on his way to the west. He has furnished us with some interesting particu lars in relation to the war now carried onjby'that brave and chivalric people. All they require now, is provision to support them in the field of balttlo. With them it is liberty mr despotism, victory or death—and God grant them a speedy and glori ous triumph. 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.” * The Indian name is Onithlacoochy, but it is usually written Withlaeoocbcc, From the Charleston Mercury of yesteraay, 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, the Laura will leave hero at day light. We are certainly in danger of an attack, and it astonish es me that of the force now in Florida, none arc sent round here, but they are driving the Indiana directly upon nst Shocking indeed would bo tiro 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.
