Our town is under martial law, and guards are kept both night and day around the town. one is permitted to pass in or out of the lines without a permit from head quarters. Wo have this moment Icarntlhat the mail from this to Montgomery has been at tacked by the Indians, and two passengers killed, and the mail taken by them. Our company (Columbus Guards) is ordered into the nation, 31 miles, to bring in the mail, if possible. This we consider to be hazardous in tha extreme I Our town is completely crowded by the runners from the nation. You see Curts with women and children in all the streets. The drum is the common sound. The streets are blocked by moving volunteers—in haste, yours &c;” SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. The April No. of this very beautiful and ably conducted work is before us, and in our advertis ing coluras may be seen, as usual, its table of con tents. This No., as far as we can judge from a hasty glance over its pages, here and there, the’ not so striking as some that have preceded it, is a highly interesting and valuable one, and may be read with great pleasure and profit. Some of its papers, particularly, are strikingly marked with ability, of thought and style ; but wo have not time to enter into particulars, and shall probably refer to them again, at a leisure moment. The editorial criticisms are, as usual, bold, manly, and independent, as well as able, and finely written, and though we do not always concur with the Opinions they contain, we admire the fearless freedom and impartiality which they manifest ; and are inclined to think their greatest errors arise from a too great reliance on first impressions, bn the part of their highly gifted and accomplished author. We are highly gratified to perceive the general attention paid to this excellent work, and the highly flattering praises it has elicited from all parts of the country ; and again take pleasure in ,earnestly recommending it to the patronage of the Southern people, to whose general character, at home and abroad, it is so distinguished an honor MAIL ROBBER TAKEN. The Mail between Columbus, Geo., [not Co lumbia, S. C. as was incorrectly reported in the Northern papers,] and this city, was robbed abonl the 21st April. So soon as our enterprising con tractor, Fullkb, heard of the robbery, he sent his Agent, Mr. Banks, in pursuit of two persons who, it was supposed, committed the robbery. Mr, Banks immediately proceeded to New-York,where he gained some intelligence of the persons sus pected, and as he understood they went up the Hudson, he procured two officers and went in pursuit, and succeeded in overtaking one of them PL I in Concord, Colombia county, N. Y., by the name j of James W. Morgan, alius Murray, on whom was found about 56745, and a gold watch, which = he had bought in New-York for 550. Murray is now on his way to this city, in charge of an offi cer. After the arrest of Murray, Mr. Banks went £ in pursuit of the other robber, Pratt, whom he had j, traced to Philadelphia, and from information re ceived there, he expected to overtake him in Washington, Pa., where it is said he has rela e lives living. Great credit is duo to both Mr. Ful ler and Mr. Banks, for their prompt and energetic , exertions—and the latter wc think merits a reward - from the governmcflt.— Constitutionalist of yes it terday. it * SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNAL. 1 The May No. of this handsome and interest- J % ’ ing periodical, is one of the best, we think, that I has appeared for some time, and will be read with ( much interest—at least, so far as wo may judge 1 j from a hasty and hut partial perusal. One of 1 | the most striking and valuable of its papers, is I j that “On Historical Authenticity, and the value ' of Human Testimony as to Facts,” to which wc 1 were (list attracted by the distinguished name of the author, and of which it is well worthy. The s editor’s criticism on “Rienzi,” is interesting and . well-written, as also the criticisms “From out 1 Arm Chair; while the “Address of the Rev. J 5 Adams,” “Italian Poets of the Eighteenth Gen s tury,” and several other articles in prose and - verso, will be read with decided interest. The > typographical execution of the work is very neat, ( and tho paper excellent, presenting altogether a s very handsome appearance, highly creditable to the publisher. It affords us pleasure again car > nestly to recommend this valuable periodical to the fostering care and liberal patronage of the . Southern people, who wc trust will not bo want i. ing in that noble and patriotic pride and goneros “ ity which should prompt them to an anxious in terest in their own native literature, and a liberal encouragement of those Southern periodical by : which alone it can ho properly fostered, animated, and developed.

IVDIAN DISTURBANCES. ’ The accounts from the scenes of Indian out ’ ! rage, both in Florida and Alabama, arc still most painful and exciting, as will be seen by reference to the several extracts in to-day’s paper—and ] such as may well lead us to anticipate the very worst. Wo look with interest for tho dcvclope ment of prompt and energetic measures on the I part of the Governments of Alabama and Geor gia, for the subjection of the hostile Creeks, from whom wo apprehend much difficulty, as they arc a hardy, bold, anil warlike race; and ■ doubt not those measures will be willingly and f I instantly seconded by the people. Tins out -1 breaking on tho part of the Crocks, strongly de t volopos the propriety of stationing a force on our I South-Western frontier, as effected by the Gov- I i ernor sometime ago ; and tho measure is highly ; creditable to the judgment and vigilance of tho Governor. It has no doubt, so far, secured our people from a participation of the outrages made on those of Alabama; and with an intimate knowledge of tho character and abilities of tho r gallant and talented officer entrusted with this I force, we feel assured that nothing will ho want ( ing on his part, to do full justice to the corifi i j deuce reposed in him. But we fear that his force t ] may not now he large enough for tho objects for j which it was called together, and look with some | anxiety for such an increase of it, as will be am \ ! ply sufficient for the protection of the frontier. What is to become of the unfortunate Flori ’ dians, abandoned by the Commanding General to their enemies, God only knows! We an ticipate sad news from that quarter. What could j have prompted the madness of sending such small detachments as those of McLk.more and 5 Holloman into the heart of tho enemy’s eoun ' try, and then leaving them there so long without tho least attempt at protection I And indeed what hotter was it to send Major Cooper’s Bat r lalion of 300 men, where Gen. Gaines and . 1,100 were brought to a stand, and reduced to . starvation I Surely, x “It is the very error of the Moon, > That comes more near the earth than she was ! wont, B And makes men mad.” s RAIL-ROAD CONVENTION; a The Annual Convention of Stockholders of the t Georgia Rail Road and Banking Company, com menced its session in this place on Monday last, y and adjourned yesterday.

COTTON—Has again become quite dull, ow ing to the unfavorable accounts from Liverpool to the Blli April, inclusive, which quote a decline of Jd per lb. on common cottons, as will he seen be low. There was so little done yesterday, that wo cannot judge well what the decline is in this mar ket; but presume it will be ascertained to he about } cent. Prime, is saleable only at 18 cts. while middling and inferior are unsaleable at 13 a 10 cts.

Wc have had a dull cotton market since the last packet sailed, particularly the last three days, and prices have declined jd per lb. from the high est point, 30th ulto, at which reduction the low and middle qualities are heavy,—while fine cot ton nearly sustains tho late advance. The speculative demand is suspended, and trade at Manchester is less active than it was some time ago.” “Li Eurnoi.. Blh April, 1830. We advised you by our circular of the 31st ult. of a further improvement of £ a }1 per lb. in cot ton, since when, the demand has been cainpara tively limited, and the market languid, particu larly the last few days, and prices h ive declined £d per lb., at which reduction there has been a lair quantity oiler ing, and it would not ho possi ble to,sell largely in tho present state of tho de mand—at the same lime there is no very consid erable quantity pressing on the niurket. The sales on Saturday, 2d inst. were about 4500 hales, and on Monday, 4th inst. 3000 n 3500 bales, & since, they have been about 2000 bales per day. The decline is most decided in the low and middle qualities—in fine cotton there ia little change. The accounts from tho United States being still quite in favor of holders, wo must attribute tho unfavorable change in the market mainly to the less animated stale of trade at Manchester, and some decline in Yarn there.

Cotton —We slated in our last semi-weekly report, that our market for Uplands, at the com mencement of the week, had been extremely dull and heavy, and thoirarmc ions very limited. A partial re-action took place on Wednesday, in consequence of the later and more favorable ac counts which were received on the morning of that day, via New York, from Liverpool, to the 4th ult,, and from Havre, to the 261 h March. In tho former market, prices had advanced }l. per lb,; in the hitter, from 10 to 15 centimes, since the commencement of tho month. Tho sales here on that clay amounted to from 1500 to 1600 bales, or about two thirds of the total transactions of the week. A small advance, wc understand, was only felt in a piimennd choice article. Since that day, the market has resumed its former inactivity, and yesterday closed with hardly any enquiry.

Macon Market, May 12. Cotton.-— The transactions in this article, for sometime past, had been .small, aid from the limited quantity arriving, we should think our bu siness season was closed. Our receipts to Ist in. t. were 77,510 bales; stock on hand 1855, against same time last season 58,721 hales, and stock 1.430 hales; at present the stock will not exceed 1000 bales.— J\lesaeng'r, New-Oulgana Market, May 7.

Owing to a further reduction in cotton since . our last, there has been a fair business doing, the sales amounting to about 12,000 bales, though the L market yet inclines to dullness, a* buyers do not eecra willing to operate extensively, unless they * can obtain still greater advantages. The decline has been from fair upwards and otlr quotations ' have been altered accordingly ; the rates for ordi i nary and middling , of which the bulk of the crops of Tennessee and North Alabama is composed, , remain unmolested, as there has been nothing done , in those description •, holders not having recorded * c any thing from former demands, and purchasers refusing to pay the prices. There is not much Louisiana and Mississippi Colton now remaining in first hands.

One r, cause of this, perhaps, independently of the obi complaint about ibo scarcity of money, was the o weather having been so extremely wet, that it i. would have prevented its removal, oven if persons . were disposed to lake it off. Wo do not alter onr c. figures, as holders aro now firm, but there is no 3 doubt but that some sales have been made a shade f. lower. Havana Sugars continue dull at the rates it previously quoted.
