The report that this savage Warrior was co operating with the Creeks, and in person direct ing their affairs, we think is not entrtled to credit. Our last accounts from Florida represent the In dians there as still embodied in large numbers, and Powel would never leave the scene of his own operations to assist the Creeks. His hands arc already full. And besides, the fact that the Semi nolcs are embodied, is evidence enough that Pow ell is with them. As soon as he leaves, they must disperse into small parties.— lbid.

They were, it is said, on terms of the most friendly intercourse. The verdict of the Coroner’s Inquest is—“ That the deceased came to his death by a wound inflicted on the left breast, which penetrated (he heart, and farther, that said wound was accidentally inflicted with a knife by one Alfred C. Mason, on the night of the 19lh i inst.” Mr. C. was interred yesterday afternoon with military honors by the Savannah VoluntccrGuards and Phcenix Riflemen.— lbid, MR. PERDICARIB. The first of a scries of Lectures on Modern Greece, delivered in the Masonic Hall, by this gentleman, was listened to on Monday even ing, by a very respectable portion of the ladies and gentlemen of this community; who manifest ed by their close and anxious attention to the speaker, a deep interest in his subject, and the highest satisfaction with his eloquent and spirited discriplion of the causes which had given a darker hue to the history of Modern Greece, than in justice belonged to it —the events which led to its subjugation by the Turks, and tiro important circumstances which once more crowned with freedom, honor, and glory, tire ever-glorious name of Greece. The soul-touching eloquence of this gentleman should ho, of itself, sufficient to attract large numbers to his lectures; and when the darkness of the darkest, hut still highly in teresting era in Grecian history, is to be cleared away by one so competent to the task, we might reasonably expect for him a well filled house, Wc would respectfully invite the attention of the public to Mr. P’s. second Lecture, which lakes place This Evening, at 8 o’clock. “THE GEORGIA BATTALION. Three companies of this fine corps, on their re turned from Florida, reached this place early on Sunday morning, with Major Cooper its com mander. They were the companies from Mor gan, Capt. Poster, from Putnam, Capt. Morriwelh er, and from Hancock, Capt. Brown. Intelligence having been received late on Friday night that they were on board the Cherokee, and expected next day, a videtwas stationed on Saturday morn ing, on the river,at a point several miles below the city, with orders to give immediate notice of their approach. Late in the evening he came in and reported that the boat had not been heard of. The volunteer companies that had been under arms most of the afternoon were then dismissed. But though they lost the opportunity of giving a mil itary reception to their returning brothers, their welcome was not the less hearty. They were immediately visited by them on board the bortt. Comfortable provisions having been made fur the sick, at the Eagle and Phcenix Hotel, they were immediately removed from the hot betlhs of the steamboat, and at half past 12, the Battalion, with out the noise of military parade, were attended by our volunteer companies in citizens-dress, afid such other of our citizens as could be apprized of the arrangement made for their debarkation, to the Eagle and Phomix, where they partook of a collation handsomely prepared for them. During this short repast the very kindest and best feelings pervaded the whole assembly, and the only cause of regret was, its shortness, and the necessary ex clusion from it by reason of the want of roohi, of many hundreds whose warmth of feeling equaled that of those whoso better fortune enabled them to gain admittance. The few toasts that were given abounded with these feelings; and to that, complimentary of the j Battalion, Maj. Cooper made a very appropriate j and happy reply, in which he did full justice to 1 our own spirited volunteers, and spoke in the i most flattering manner of the denizens and citi zens of foreign birth who rallied round the alan \ dard of their adopted country. The feeling of dc , tided preference of Genl. Clinch over the other Generals in Florida could not be mistaken, and the marked disapprobation of the conduct of one t of these Generals, gave additional force and point to the toast of Capt.

[ Wo publish the following letter with great plea- \ sure—satisfied, however, that the admirable con- I duct of the gallant Georgia Battalion needs no | defence before the people, against any reflection, : from any source; intended, or not intended : Mix 20lh, 1838. . Mn. Pemuebton i Dear Sir :—On the passage from Savannah to i Augusta, with the Volunteers recently under my ] command in the Army of Florida, I read, in the r Georgian of the 19th, an extract from General - Scott’s communication to the War Department, t dated Picolata, April 30. The General stales ■ that “3000 regular troops are indispensable,” “to end tills war.” Again he says, “Os the 3000 t good troops (not Voluitlccrs) five bundled will I be necessary” &c. 1 The mass, and perhaps every reader, will un j Jetstand this to be a reflection upon all the Vol r unteers recently engaged in the Florida Campaign, i conducted by Gen. Scott. I have reason to be lieve that this could not have been intended, and in justice to the General, would give my belief ■ accordingly. My object in writing this, however, is to pro ’ tect the Volunteers of my Battalion an im putation which if intended, would be unjust. A sincere regard for the reputation of the brave and gallant men and officers of the Battalion recently commanded by me, forbids my silence on this occasion. Independent of the testimony of my own opinion, formed on facts daily arising under my own observation, during three months of very arduous service, in the most exposed sil ' nations, I am fortified by the opinion of General Clinch, as well as that of Gen. Scott, in refer ence to the conduct of my Battalion. Under existing circumstances, 1 feel it not only a privi lege, but a duty, I owe my men, to use them. As regards the fatigues of the Campaign, they have not been surpassed by the choicest corps of the regular troops. For this I refer to the trans actions at Port Cooper; the return to Fort Drane, i the passage of the two Withlacoochee’s, and the twenty days spent at Fort Drane, after the oilier Volunteers were discharged. As to fighting, it , is gratifying to know, that whilst all Georgians . wore willing and always ready to join in it, we , have it in our power to say most for ourselves: This we say without doubling but others would I have done as much or more than wc, and without ( in any wise disparaging onr brethren. In refer , encc to them, wo hold any reflection, whether , designed or not, to he unjust. I It did happen, however, that my men came , oftencr in collision with the enemy, than any, , during Gen. Scott’s Campaign. In this 1 do C not include the troops with Gem Gaines at , Camp Izard. The Louisiana Volunteers were universally acknowledged to be brave, and fought . cheerfully. I In support of this last commendation of the Georgia Battalion, I refbr to (he evening the right wing first crossed the Willilacooelrce, when - the rear guard, composed, in part of the Monroe s MuskJtecrs under command of Captain Black, were attacked by the Indians. I refer also to the 31sl March,at the long Prairie, in the Cove, when the Advance Guard under my command, com posed of Gapt, Seymour's company, the Macon Volunteers, and Lieut. Alvahd’s company of regulars, were attacked at point blank shot, in open prairie, from the hammock ; and charged the enemy through. I refer, again, to my report of the transactions at Fort Cooper, fur 17 days of idtense labor, fifteen of which were endured amidst continued skirmishing and lighting, hunger and sickness. During which time officers and men acted with a gallantry and intrepidity that would have been ' Creditable to any troops; ! In further defence of the Georgia Battalion, I refer you to the opinion, first, of Gen. Scott, himself, given in the order concerning the opini on of the Court of Enquiry in the case of Major Gates —a copy of which was sent to me by Gen. Scott. Hcto follows the extract: “It is most painful to remark, the fatal charm that seems to have hung over every Commander in this war who has been attacked behind breast works or pickets. From the loading case at Camp Izard, to the last that has been reported, r 1 not a sortie, certainly notone of vigour, has been made by any Ganison, however inferior the as sailing force. Several mortifying cases of this ’ sort have duly followed, and Major Cooper, alonb, 1 with the Georgia Battalion, has ventured, for a ' moment, beyond a line of defence, to receive or repel an attack.” In a letter dated “Augustine, May 14th, 1836,’ j, to Gen. Clinch, Gen. Scott says: “If I had been well enough, it was my pur ' nose to have not only met you, hut to have seen 1 1 Major Cooper and Battalion. Have they seen my order in the case of Major Gates 1 It is a curious fact, that that Battalion alone, has fired a gun from out of its pen. Present mo kindly to ; the Major and his officers.” I refer next to the opinion of Gen. Clinch, commander of the right wing of the army, to which we were attached. In his order, No. 81, — dated Head Quarters, Fort Drane, May 10th, 1836, speaking of my command, he says : I “This Battalion has faithfully and honorably discharged its duties in the field, and the officers and men merit, and will receive the thanks of their fellow citizens. When it became known that their neighbors in Florida were pursued by the ravage enemy, they were the first to fly to their assistance, and when it was found necessary e to have a post with a small garnsen in the heart j of the enemy’s country, they cheerfully acquies ced in (he selection which fell upon them, and they maintained their post gallantly fur 17 days, , during 13 of which they were cloaely invested lg by the enemy.” in ' Finally, it may be said, that this Battalion, ’/ also, being informed that it was necessary, cheer fully acquiesced in the order to remain three weeks after al! other Volunteers left Fort Drane. [ They were consequently the last to quit the field. | This much, sir, in support of the conduct of the Georgia Battalion, has been said, under a sense of duly to ourselves. It may be for the gratification of their families and friends, and we trust, will neither disparage or offend any. I have addressed this to you, sir, because your patriotism will give it publicity—since it prompted you to join with us in the Campaign, and unite in the pursuit of the savage foe. Respectfully, your obedient servant, MARK A. COOPER, Late commander of the Georgia Battalion, FROM MISSISSIPPI. It affords us much pleasure to lay before our readers the following interesting letter from a re spected and intelligent friend in Mississippi—for merly of this State: Natchez, Miss. 25th April, 1836. My dear Sir: —Agreeably to a promise made you some time ago, I have concluded to employ a leisure moment, in giving you some account of this section of country, the people, Sic. Perhaps al this time, no section of country is attracting so large a share of interest as the Slate of Mis sissippi. The recent cessions of the Choctaw and Chickasaw territories have given to this long obscure and depressed State, a vast expansion of her territorial limits, as well as no inconsiderable accession to her population. Previous to the ob tainrnent of these line tracts of country, the State was confined to hut a small part of her ex tended map. And they have not only been the means of vastly augmenting the wealth of the Slate, but have opened one of the finest fields for agricultural industry and enlcrprizn, which has yet been presented in the Southern Slates. The Choctaw lands in particular, yield as abundantly, and certainly more uniformly the same quantity of cotton, Ilian any section of the staple-growing portion of the confederacy. And, so far as the productive power of those lands has been tested, they have invariably equalled the most sanguine expectations. The country embraced within the Choctaw cession is for the most part level, abounding in plains, and extensive prairies, caching from 5 to 30, and in some instances 30 miles across. The impression made upon the mind, from the first sight of llicso vast openings of land is peculiar indeed, and any one who has ever ridden upon the billows of the “vasty deep,” will be instantaneously struck, with (ho close re semblance of these scenes to the broad expanse of the ocean, in certain states. Tins idea has been most graphically delineated by the first of American poets, in bis description of the prai ries. They seem : , “ As if an ocean, in its gentlest swell, Stood still—with all its rounded billows, Fixed and motionless forever.” The Chickasaw country is for the most part bro ken and undulating, and although in 100 high a latitude for the culture of Cotton in (he fulness of ils perfection, yet ib presents great iiidllce ments to settlers on account of health, and its being more favorable to the growth df other pro ductions. In fact, this State contains every di versity of soil and climate, to suit every divetsily of taste and inclination. Arid intersected as she is by bold navigable streams, and occupying a position eminently calculated for turnpikes and tail roads to transport her rich products to mar ket, the State of Mississippi is inevitably destined to become a very important member of the great North American Confederacy. The population of the Slate is chiefly of a mixed character, composed of citizen frrtm Vir ginia, Georgia, Kentucky, and Tennessee. And I must not omit to mention that wo have hero also some choice spirits from the gallant little State north of the Savannah River. You may rely upon it, too, that they tell, wherever they are found. In truth, an educated Carolinian is au acquisition to any country, distinguished as he is for lofty chivalry, the finest honor, and the most warm-hearted and elegant hospitality, as well as fojr the most ardent and high-soulcd devo tion to liberty. But is it astonishing that these traits of character should so universally distin guish the Carolinian, coming as he docs front a people, who for every principle and viituc, that can do honor to and characterize individuals or Slates, arc emphatically “the first and foremost race of all the world.” Every one who is riot en tirely blinded by party prejudice, and sectional feeling, must readt y concede the point, that while South Carolina, has ever been emphatical ly the land of genius, of chivalry, of orators, and patriots, she has also effected much for the great cause of human liberty, by the enlightened pa triotism, and heroic firmness of her soris. And, looking forward with the most cheering anticipa tions, to the future vigorous growth, and brilliant prospects of Mississippi, Ido not believe I am auguring 100 high a destiny for her, in saying that she must in time become the Western Carolina. With a population composed almost exclusively of property holders, you may rest assured, her gallant sons will never hesitate to draw freely upon her reserved rights,in protecting her domestic institutions from the assaults of lawless fanatics, <Sr. heartless philanthropists, or in resisting any in vasion upon her sovereignty, by the common go vernment of the Union. You will recollect that Mississippi was the theatre, where those scenes in regard to the Abo litionists vVcrc acted during the last summer, and which fora lime seemed to call down the indig nation of the whole world against her. But, whatever may have been thought of the mo tives and conduct of the principal actors in those scenes at the time, it is certain they now stand justified before the country. It is now a conce , ded point, that an extraordinary conjuncture was I presented, demanding upon every principle of public safely and policy, the exercise of summary , justice. There can be no mistake about it, that ■ upon the subset of abolition in all its bearings, ; the people here arc united, to a man. In fact, up . on this subject but one pulse beats thiough the . whole bo ly politic. The public |ipinion of all f parlies may be said to bo sound to the core. Ev , ery political sect and denomination hero, view . the entertainment of this question in any shape . whatever, as an infringement upon their vested j constitutional rights. And the opinion is now , fast gaining ground, that the specious and plan. , sible pretexts of protecting the great right of pe , titiou has been resorted to by certain politicians for the purpose of cloaking the rankest abolition ism, aud that the chief aim and object of the great sticklora for this right in Congress, has been to appease for a time the offended wralli, of a large and growing patty in the Northern States. The fact cannot be disguised, that upon • this subject the signs of the times are daily bocom* • ing more unpropitious. And I think any man must • have observed passing events to very little purpose, who is not convinced, lltdt there is now no long er hope for the South, from any legislation on i the part of the non-slaveholding Stales, auppres . sing, by {tonal enactments, incendiary publicd r tions, within the limits of those Slates ; and that i every remedy necessary for the protection and safety of the institution of domestic slavery, must bo provided by the slavcholdiug States them selves. I cannot but think it unfortunate, that lit a ! time like the present, where there is so much ne -1 cessity for union and concert among the Southern people, they should suffer themselves to he dis tracted, and their minds diverted from this, to them, the most vital of all questions, to mingle in the miserable struggle now going on for the Chief Magistracy of the corinlry. It certainly can be a matter of no concern to the Southern 1 Slates, while their domestic institutions are as sailed, and their dealest interests exposed, who may preside over the destinies of this confederacy. But it is more particularly to bo regretted that the Slate Rights party should have taken any part in the pending contest for tile Presidency. Array ed as they have been against the abuses mid cor -1 rupiioiis of the Federal Government, and battling for principles vitally connected with the public liberty of the country, they have certainly every thing to lose and nothing to gain by the adoption of such a course. In espousing the cause of any particular candidate, they necessarily lose sight of the cardinal doctrines of their political faith, and involuntarily become the apologists of what ever principles and measures, ho may have sup ■ ported, whether they be in accordance with their 1 doctrines or not. But, apart from this considcia • lion, it must be evident to any one who will give I the subject the slightest reflection, that any sup port which the State Rights party may yieli in favor of the pretensions of any individual for President, must be entirely unavailing, us it is utterly impossible for any high-minded mid inde pendent statesman to succeed to that office, against the power and patronage of tlio Federal Government, and the many varying and con flicting interests which now divide the country, without an entire abandonment of his honest principles. In fact, the Presidency of the United Slates, instead of being the most dignified office in the world, has now got to ho a poor trriekling affair, worlliy only the ambition of second-rate , statesmen, and df gambling and desperate politi cians. Ho stands the best chance of Doing suc | eessful for it, who can make the best compromise . of his principles ; and lienee it may lie likened to I a balance board, whereon, if the candidate goes up haul upon Nullification, he must come down soft upon Abolition, and if ho rides up heavy up on the Bank, ho must come down light upon In ternal Improvements; or, in other words, he must I he a Northern man in some things and a Southern 1 man in others. Now what can any party promise , itself, which is interested in keeping up the present slate of things, by going into such a con , test against intriguing and unprincipled politi cians. But we are asked how arc we to reform , the abuses and corruptions of Government, unless wc make an effort, to effect a change of rulers. t I would answer that utterly incurable as I cori ccive the corruptions of the Federal Government to have become, I have no idea they arc to lie cured and remedied by elevating any individual to the Chief Magistracy of the Union. The im , mensc power and patronage of the President , would coirnpl the purest man under Heaven; and no matter how honest hie intentions, in going into office, ho is not likely to come out so. But after all, the only sure reliance for the slavohold ing Slates, in resisting federal usurpations and corruptions, destined as they are from the nature of things, ever to remain in the minority, must , be in the conservative virtue of State Rights; in the sovereignly of the Slates, the sheet anchor of our safety ; and which, to use the eloquent lan guage of the distinguished Governor of South Carolina, “ in the only barrier which can arrest , the Federal Government in its fatal proclivity to t wards absolute despotism,and the only means un der Heaven by which the tights, the liberties, and , tire property of the planting Slates can bo rcs ■ cued from impending destruction.” If, therefore, , we expect to maintain and successfully carry out . these principles, it is certainly high time wo had - ceased all participation in these degrading and . corrupting scrambles for federal offices and feder . al honors. lam yours, truly.” B SUMMARY* The Turf. —The celebrated horse John Bas com be,arrived at the Union Course on Friday,for ‘ the great Northern arid Southern Match, that lakes • place the 3) ot May, that being the first day of the second spring meeting.—A*. ¥■ Herald, \othinst » Central Bank. —His Excellency the Gover e nor of Georgia has appointed Williams Ruther ford.
