feEN. CLINCH & CAPT. Til RI STON.
The compliment paid hy Gen. Scott, to these
two excellent and highly valuable officers, in his -
official letter, which we publish to-day, is highly
creditable both to his head atrd heart. We do
not believe that two more Useful and valuable
officers exist in our Army, and sincerely hope,
with him, that their invaluable services may not
be lost to it and the country, at the present im
portant juncture, when they arc so much needed. ]

how in command of one of the Georgia Regi- j
ments near Columbus, that a man hy the name j
of Wm. Drew, a Tailor, and formerly of this j
city, died in the Army, on the 10th inst. Ho j
did not belong, as supposed by Col. 11. lo either j
of the Augusta Companies, hut perhaps was a
Volunteer from S. Carolina; and though we
find it difficult to learn any thing respecting him,
ho is thought by some to be a native of Con
necticut.
Camp Georgia, near Girard, Alabama, f
Hth June, 1836. S
gir ; On yesterday, a soldier of the Jones
county Company, by the name of William
Drew, died at this place of Bilious fever. Mr.
Drew, I hear, was a Tailor by trade, and resided
for a short time in the city of Augusta, and came
to that city from the State of New \ ork; and I
have been informed that he was in the Florida
Campaign in one of the Volunteer Companies of
Augusta. He was supposed to be about 23 } ears
old, and was a substitute for a drafted roan from
Jones county. He left eighty dollars in cash,
and a few articles of clothing, and was in service
16 days. An inventory of his effects has been
taken, and the articles will he turned over to the
• proper officer for safe keeping. Will you be so
>, kind as to give notice of his death. &e. in your
paper, and request lire New York papers to give
; the same an insertion, that the relatives of the
k deceased may know of his death, and obtain tho

Tho U. S. Telegraph thus speaks of Col.
| Pickens’s recent able and eloquent speech on
| tho Fortification Bill, which we regret that the
I press of other matter does not allow us to pub
lish it—at least, at present. Wo hope we may
ho able to do so hereafter, assured as we are that
it would be perused hy our readers with great
interest and profit:
“We this day exclude from our columns a
groat portion of interesting matter, to enable us
lo publish entire the speech of Mr. Pickens, of
South Carolina, on the Fortifications. We re
commend its perusal to our readers. It is a speech
that will go home to every mind, convincing and
strengthening. The abuses of the government
are lashed with severe power, and the decaying
evidence of the times marked with such force,
that we almost fear they contain a sad and mourn
ful prophecy. This is indeed a lime when all
who love their country should rally to its standard;
and the people will hall Mr. Pickens as one of
lire ablest and most eloquent advocates of our
noble institutions.”

> , Extract from a letter, dated
: j ' Hawkinsville, June 8, 1836.
, j “I send you the Address of tho Ladies of I’u
laski county, on the presentation of a stand of
j Colors, and the Captain’s extemporaneous An
swer. A finer or a more gallant set of men ne
ver left their homes lo march against the enemy.
Both officers and men are of tho first standing in
this community; and if I am any judge of hu
man nature, Capt. Bostwick has that high mo
ral courage, which is calculated to command res
) '
pert Irom his men, and victory in the field.
• ’"Gen, Scott is severely indisposed at Coin m
hps. Gen. Jessup takes command of tho Ala
-1 bamians, and Gen. S. of the whole forces,”
t Address on the part of the ladies.
Fellow Soldiers .—As the representative of
I Mistresses Jklks, Musghavk, Andrews and
Williams, I present to you, the Pulaski Vol
unteers, this stand ol Colours, .as a token of
| their approbation of your spirited and patriotic
conduct in (lie present crisis.
They are aware of the sacrifices you make,
in leaving homes, wives, children, a#d friends,
and flocking to your country’s standard. Yet
are they pleased to see that the voice of human
ity lias been harkened to hy you, and that your
cars are open to the cry of the widows and or
phans, made by the deadly rifle and murderous
tomahawk of the ruthless savage, 'They are
also proud to see that Pulaski county, true to the
motto this standard bears, has shown herself
“one among many ;” and as a Volunteer Conipa
ny you ore ready to much where your country
calls. Believing, as they do, in your valour and
patriotism, though they number among you, hus
bands, brothers, and friends, and the parting with
these wrings theii hearts, they say to you, oo, —
go and win for yourselves names that shall live
in after generations.
“Ho where glory waits you,” and the “ Star-
Spangled Banner” shall proudly wave o’er your
deeds ol valor—Go, whilst their prayers shall ho
to tho God of battles to watch over, guard, and
protect you.
Capt. Bostvvick’s Reply.
As Captain ot the Pulaski Volunteers, I ac
cept, with grateful emotions, this proud tribute
to patriotism, which you have deigned to protect
us with. It is our country's Flag! It is the
Star-Spangled Banner which our forefathers so
gallantly defended, and for which they shed their
blood, and sacrificed their lives, that it might
gracefully and yet proudly wave “ o’er the land
, of the Iree ami the home of tho brave.”
Ladies; our country has called us from our
domestic pursuits, and the bosoms of our families,
and points us to the battle-field. Already the
war-whoop of tho blood-thristy and unrelenting I
savage, is heard in our land. Some of out towns
licit! smoking ruins, whilst their streets are stain
ed with the blood ot our slaughtered country
men. Others arc kept strongly guarded, to save
helpless females and still more helpless children,
from the tomahawk and scalping knife. Wc arc
not only called hy our country, hut we aro called
hy the cries of the widow and the fatherless, who
from competency and comfort, have been reduced
to despair, ruin and beggary. Shall the cries of
the defenceless, imploring our aid, pass hy unre
garded 1 Shall innocent blood sink into the
giound unrevonged I Shall wc prove recreant—
shall we prove degenerate ! Shall we render
ourselves unworthy' our noble ancestry, whose
gallant deeds have long since rendered their
names immortal, and are handed down to tho la
test ages of civilization, as worthy of imitation
and admiration I
Ladies; we go to the battle field, and should
it he our fortune lo meet our foes in deadly com
bat, while these colors which no fairer hands
could present, are proudly waving over us, inspi
red with more than human courage, wc will rally
around it, and protect it from insult or harm.—
Should we fall, I pray lo God we may not fall
ingloriously.

of the sales which wc now report, was made tty
to that period ; since which wc were put in pos
session of Liverpool and Havre dates to the Bth
May last, advising a small fluctuation in both
markets, without any material change in prices.
Purchasers aro esutious, as prices range high,
and they require a reduction before they ope
rate farther; holders arc however firm, and in
, sist on full rates. Tho result has been, that
the market has been brought to u perfect stand.
Wc continue onr last week’s quotations for Up

find that our Statements arc correct, that there re
mains for sale in first hands, 1800 l-ales ol Long

Cotton.—- In our Ids! leport wc noticed a dispo
sition on the part of holders lo ship, in preference
to accepting current rates for cotton. This dis
position has prevailed dining the present week,
particularly on the part of those who held lots
limited nt prices which this market Inin not war
rentod nt any period dining tho season; pretty
large shipments have consequently been made,
and tho stock on sale Inis been very materially re
duced. Wo are advised of the sale ol some three
to four thousand hales, without any material
change in prices, and on the whole, the week clo
ses with a limited demand, owing more, perhaps,
to the lightness of tho stock on Hide, (not exceed
ing 2,000 hales,) than lo tho disinclination of
purchasers to operate. Wo make no change in
quotations. The receipts of the week are 1,297
hales; the exports 4455, and the stock on hand,
all included, is 33,781 hales. —Shipping and

Florida Intelligencer.
SUBSCRIBER proposes to,publish
™ a newspaper in St. Augustine, under the
above-named title, ns soon asanulficicnt number
of patrons may be obtained. Presuming upon
the intense and general solicitude fell through
out the country in relation to the war waged by
the Indians of the Territory against i s popula
tion, he calculates, confidently, that a patronage,
adequate to the undertaking, will be promptly 'rtf.
, forded. The lover of his country, its peace, if,
prosperity, the foe to the ravage and his barbarous
mode of warfare, the friend of the defenceless, rc
aido in what State ho may, cannot otherwise
than Ibel a lively concern for the issue of the war
in Florida—as well as for tho movements and
events which may bo developed by the career of
the savage enemy during the time that must in
tervene a renewal of the campaign. The sub
scriber was Editor of a paper in Soutb-Caroliha
l«r several years—and relies upon the reputa'ion
he then established, such as it may lie, for th
requisite qualifications and experience to con
i duct tho business he contemplates. Party poU
i tfet are discorded from the purposes end seed
j in lids enterprizc—not that lie is averse to dieenss
t party questions, but because, in Florida, at this
' juctnre, they are not called for, and should not
i ho tolerated. Let there he a union of njl parties
of all minds and all hearts, on these vital oues
, lions: How shall thecilizons he protected against
the, murderous warfare of the enemy J How shall
thiser.cmy he finally nnd forever put down I
The primary object of the subscriber, is to moke
his paper a faithful chronicle of intelligence rela
ting to the Indians, and all expediti ns again-t
