To conquer or to die.

Pursued through hit dangers

Alone then were sought
By the brave Volunteers.
The Seminole is fleeing, is fleeing, is fleeing,
Pursued through all dangers
By the brave Volunteers.

The Hon. Jvs. H. Hammonji was invited to
partake in the festivities, but ill health preventing
his attendance, he addressed to the committee the
following note, with the accompanying sentiment :
AUGUSTA, MAY, 9th, 1836.
Gr.NTLr.MRN. —I regret that the state of my
health will not permit me to accept your polite
invitation to a dinner to he given to-morrow, in
1 honor of the Florida Volunteers who have just rc-
I turned. I partook largely of the pride and gra
ft lification felt by every Southern man at Wash-
B ington, at the promptness with which our South-
B ern people responded to the calls of dur country,
[ and hastened to the scene of savage warfare, —atld
| I have witnesses with the highest admiration the
{m constancy and courage with which they have cn
countered the fatigues, privations and diseases,
» which are far more trying both to discipline and
nerve than all the dangers ofa military campaign.
.m '■ —As lam debarred from joining your fastivity,
J allow me, through you, lo offer to the corps of my
; friends Capt. Robertson and Capt. Bones, the CH-
I' closed, very trite, but, in the present instance, pe-
Aaliarly applicable sentiment.
I am. Gentlemen,
with the highest respect,
J4MES H. HAMMOND,

Jamrs Hauprii, Moses Korr, Jr. Committee.

M Bis intended visit to Europe restore him to his
% wonted health and usefulness.
God save the Republic !—The entire force of
The United Slates Army, left for the defence of
bur frontier is estimated, on good authority, at
-'IO4O men.—lt is composed as follows; —

is scattered at different points on the
over an extent of not less than four hun
dred miles, viz: Tampa, Fort King, Fort Drane,
Picolata, St. Augustine and Mosquito. The con
sequence is, that each post is so weak, as to be
entirely unable to act on the offensive, or to puri
ish the depredations committed actually within
the*range of the guns, as was recently the case at
Fort Drane, where we are told not a single car
tridge was prepared for the piece of artillery left
for the protection of tile post. The Indians have
become daring and impudent to a degree hatdly
conceivable. The inhabitants are every where
flying from midnight‘murdcr,and massacre on our
•' Expresses have continued lo arrive during the
- last three days, in rapid succession, bearing the
3 most disssterous intelligence from the frontier.
No succour has yet been sent, to the relief'of
r - Capt. Holloman, where he was ordered by Gen.
. I Scott, and abandoned without enquiring or carin'
s for his fate.—Gen. Clinch, wc learn is wholly un-
I able lo a (lord sUccchr to this devoted band.—lt
- | would bo madness to attempt to penetrate into the
- j nation with less than one thousand men, and this
- j number it is utterly impossible to assemble. We
now feel the want of those gallant Geoigia troops
■ I dismiss.d with so little courtesy.—With their aid
, I wc could now hold the open country in Alachua,
I and relieve our own district from the horrors of
• Indian warfare.
’ Captain McCants, with nine men, a few days
: since, saw a party of one hundred Indians, near
the Wacasasas Bay.—They had collected about
four hundred head of cattle, which they had en
■ closed in a pen.—They have undisputed posscss
' ion of the whole open country South and East of
he Suwannee.
Intelligence hasjtist been received that. Colonel
■ John (iambic’s plantation was attacked last eve
ning, by a parly of savages—No lives were lost.—
I Capt. Searcy’s company, mounted men, were do
■ spatched immediately, by the Governor, to the
t scene of outrage.—Three days previous, Judge
Randalls plantation Was attacked and one negro
killed.—The Governor is organizing n now force
: to replace that distended by General Scott.—Ev
i ery man in this city, capable of bearing arms has
been armed, and every thing within our means
I will be done for the safety of the country.
An express arrived last evening from Jefferson
’ county stating that the Indians fired on the two
• men near Col. Gambles, and wounded Hr. Gor
man of that comity in the neck and thigh, hut
I escaped. It is hoped that the parly which has
cone in pursuit ot those murdcicrs will fall in with
• them and put a stop to their depredations.— lb,
[From the Savannah Georgian.]
From Florida.
The steam packet Florida, Capt. Hebhard, ar
rived yesterday afternoon from Picolata, via Jack
, sonville. Wc learn that it is reported at Jackson
ville that a largo body of Indians had stormed the
fortification thrown up by Captain McLemore, on
the Ouilhlacoochee and massacred the garrison
of forty men and their gallant commander.
Major Cooper of Putnam had been sent, it is
said, from Fort Drane, with the Battalion from
this State uuder his command, to the point on the
Ouithlacoochoc, which Capt. McL. occupied, to
ascertain the fact. We trust that they will find
those brave men in safety, but wo fear the result
of their reconnoisance.
Volusia, it is said, has been abandoned.
General Scott, and Eustisare in St. Augustine.
The steamer Santee had left the latter place, with
troops, lor Charleston, There is no further In
telligence of moment. ,
Lieut. Pope with filly volunteers from this slate,
and Lieut. Farr, with seventy-seven South Caro
lina volunteers, returned in the Florida. Some
of those gallant nien are suffering from the’bffects
of their cotnpaign.
Another severe Calamity by Fire. —About 8
o’clock, lust evening the City Hall Bell gave the
alarm for a fire in the second district and in a few
minutes a great light was seen in the extreme up
per part of the city. In a short time it was ascer
tained lo bo at the House of Refuge—the fire hav
ing broken out in the largo east building of that
institution which was entirely destroyed save its
massy stone walls.
At ten o’clock last evening another fire broke
out in a two story frame building, at the corner
of the Third Avenue ami Ninth street, occupied
as a grocery and bake-house. By the timely arri
val of engine No. 10 and the Third Ward Volun
teer hose company, it was Soon extinguished
without having caused much damaged. -.V. V.

The Richmond Enquirer of Wednesday 4tU
inst.
John Randolcil’s Will —Decision Reversed i
—Judge Carr yesterday delivered the opinion of I
the Court of Appeals, in reversal of the decision
of the General Court. The substance ofthe opin
ion is this: that on the first of January, 1832,
John Randolph of Roanoke was of unsound mind,
and therefore the paper purporting lo he his last
will and testament is void. The Court, however
desired it to he distinctly understood that they
express no opinion upon any other point. The
Court was unanimous.
The will of 1821 is before the General Court
for probate, and it is presumed a contest will be
made on that also. It will be remembered that
this will provides for the emancipation of all the
slaves belonging to Mr. Randolph’s estate. It is
probable the case will bo taken up at the ensuing
term in July.
Front the Columbus Sentinel,
INDIAN MURDERS.
It becomes our painful duty tb mmoucc the
death, by violence, of Major Win. Flournoy for
merly of Putnam county, Georgia.
Ho was on his way to Fort Mitchell, to com
plain of Indian depredations, an'! was brutally
murdered and scalped by some of the Creeks, a
few miles below that place.
A Mr. Hobbs has also been murdcroJ, while
asleep, by the same treacherous foe. A young
man who was lying in bed with Mr. H. abide his
' escape by immediately raising a plank of the
floor, and creeping under the house.
More than a hundred individuals, including
whites and negroes, have fled to Georgia fin safe
ty ; others are coming in, and war seems inevita
ble. These individuals including Rev. E. Glenn,
Dr. Richardson, Col. A. B. Dawson, Mr. Pitts,
Dr. Baltic, and Col. Richardson, and many oth
ers, have left behind them several hundred acres
of land in a state of cultivation, to become a de
solation and a waste.
Gen. Abercrombie was deputed a week or two
since, to visit the of Alabama, and
make known the perilous situation of the defence
less settlers. He went, and begged for protec
tion ; but in vain. Rev. J. E. Dawson loft here
last Saturday on the same mission ; wc wish him
more success.
N. B. The settlers have nearly all come in —
Several were murdered oil the road yesterday.
The following is a copy of a letter from Col.
Crowell, to His Excellency C. O. Clay :
[COP?.]
Four Mitchell, Ain. May 9,1830;
Sir —l arrived at home yesterday, ami found
the neighbors considcrablv alarmed about Indian
depredations; and in order lo satisfy myself of
tho intentions of the Indians, I despatched a
messenger after some of the principal chiefs tb
come and see me, for tho purpose of ascertaining
from them what their people intended. The
chiefs have not come, but sent me word that their
young men were bent upon war, and had assem
bled in tho swamp near the Federal road with the
view of attacking any troops that might march
' into the Nation.
I have satisfied myself that they contemplate
1 mischief; and without military aid, tho settlers
! must be driven from their homes with a great
loss of properly if not their lives. I have thought
it mv duty to give you this information, that you
! may call into imtncdi itc service a sufficient force
to put those Indians down and protect the lives
rtnd property of the settlers,
f I have the honor to be, vour ob’t serv’l.
f JOHN CROWELL,
t N: B,—Four persons have been killed in the
last few days, and many negroes taken oft.
From the Dahlohnega Recorder of May 7.
The MonnAt Count* Victobt. —Wc un
derstand, from an authentic source, that Col. W.
. N. Bishop, has, after several years reign of des
potism, been reduced, by a military force, to the
< necessity of yielding that obedience to tho civil
authorities of the county, so essential to the hap
piness of a weil regulated government. The
. facts in relation to this important etem, as wc
. Hre informed, are briefly ns follow; A difficulty,
. some 10 or 12 months since, occurred between
i Bishop and George W. Wacascr, Esq. which has
t continued ever since lo grow wider and deeper.
. In the absence of Wacascr, a few days since, a
t violent assault was ma le upon his Clerk, a young
, m an by the uamo of Davis, by Bishop’s clan—
• at the commencement of the assault Davis /hot
. one of Bishop’s men, wounding him severely.—
r The mob fired several muskets at Davis, wound
trier Kim (.linMlv in thp Iror. anti a larlv KPVProlv.—
1 Davis then made his escape. The mob then
commenced a furhius assault upon the store house
■ of Wacaser, and completely demolished it, and
destroyed many valuable articles of Merchan
dize. Upon Wacascr’s return, he was informed
by the mob, that he would not \>e permitted to
conic into town. In the course of two days he
rallied the peaceable orderly citizens of the coun
ty, to the number of 72 well armed with rifles,
and marched at their head, to the scene of action,
where he found the mob furled in the. Court House
and well armed with Dishop at their head—so
soon as Wacascr came in sight, Dishop and his
dan made a furious charge upon Wacascr; be
lieving he would he enabled to frighten his com
pany into submission. They had, however, come
there to restore peace, and had resolved to do so
at the risk of bloodshed, and was in truth as eager
for (he light as Dishop seemed lo be.—The rifle
company was drawn up in battle array and the
word ready given, when Dishop came in gfin shot;
at this critical moment ho perceived the great
danger ahead and Instil if ba-wted out for yr/ar
(ci'fty stacked his arms and agreed to give his rej
cognizance for his appearance at the next Court.
Thu*, wc trust has been settled the disturbances
of Murray county, and henceforth wo hope her
citizens will he secure in their persons and pro
perty, which has, so long and so shamefully been
the subjects of the most outrageous abuses with
perfect impunity. “ Well done Murray county,
go ahead, you know you are right.”

RULES FOR CONVERSATION.
UY THOMAS JEFFERSON.
1 In stating prudential rules for our govern
inertt in society, I must not omit the important
one of never entering into dispute or argument
with another.
2. I never saw an instance of one of two dis
putart * convincing the other by argument. I
have fcen many of them getting warm, becoming
rude, and shooting one another.
3. Convincing is the effect of oiir own dispas
sionate reasoning, either in solitude or weighing
within ourselves, dispassionately, what wo hear
from others, standing uncommitted in argument
ourselvesi
4. It was one of the rules, which above all
Others made Dr. Franklin, the most amiable of
men in society, “ novcrjtocontradict any body.”
Ifhe was urged to announce an opinion, he did it
rather by asking questions, as for information, or
by suggesting doubts.
5. When I hear another express on opinion
which is not mine, I say to myself, he has a
right to his opinion, ns I lo mine; why should I
question it] His error docs me no injury, and
shall I become a Don Quixotic, to bring all men
by force of argument, to one opinion I
6. If a fact he misstated, it is probable he is
gratified by a belief of it, and I have no right to
deprive him of the gratification.
7. Ifhe wants information, he will ask it, and
then I will give it in measured terms.
8. If he still believes his own story, and Jshows
a desire to dispute the fact with me, I hear him,
and say nothing. It is his affair, not mine, if ho
prefers error.
0. Thcfe dre IvVo classes of disputants most
frequently to he met with among us.—Tho first
is of young students just entered the threshold of
science, with the first views of its outlines, not
yet filled up with the details and modifications
which a further progress would bring to their
knowledge.
10. Tire other consists of (he ill tempered and
rude men in society, who have taken up u pas
sion for politics.
11. Good humor and politeness never intro
duce into mixed society a question which they
foresee there will he a difference of opinion.
12. Be a listener only, keep within yourself
the habit of silence, especially in politics. In
the present fevered stale of our country, no good
can ever result from any attempt to set one of
these fiery zealots to rights, cither in facts or prin
ciples.—They arc determined as lo tho facts
they will believe, and the opinions on which
they will act.
13. Get by them, therefore, as you would by
an angry hull ; it is not for a man ofseiise to dis
pute the road with such an animal.
