FROM COLUMBUS. Extract of a letter received in this city, dated “ Columbus, June 16lh, 1836. I shall leave here this afternoon, and will be at home in a few days. All the Volunteer corps have been recalled from Fort Twiggs, and sta tioned in Columbus, for the protection of the place. I can therefore see no necessity of my remaining here, for there is no more chance of a fight, witli the Indians, than there is at home 1” NEW MAIL ROUTES.

They were burned up in their house. The fami ly was small and consisted of only 3 individuals. This is the first, and as yet, the only attempt of hostility, by the Cherokee Indians. The murder ers have not yet been discovered.” AMERICAN MONTHLY MAGAZINE.

SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. The following flattering tribute to the merits of this Southern periodical, is from the New York Courier & BNauiRER ; and, for its libe rality and independence, it is scarcely less tredi • table to the Messenger, than to the paper from which it is extracted. The Courier tc Bnqtlircr is ever ready to do justice to the South, in all its delations, and to defend it when assailed, and therefore richly merits the warm gratitude Snd liberal patronage of its people: “We have received the May number of the Southern Literary Messenger, and its contents are equal to its reputation. We feel no hesita tion in declaring our opinion that this publication ia in every essential attribute, at the very head of the periodical literature of its class, in the United States. We do not agree by any means with some of its literary conclusions. For in _ stance, it is very wide of our opinion on the mer its of Hallcck, in this very number; but there is a vigor and manliness in most of the papers that ■' appear in the Messenger, which we are almost v ready to admit, are found nowhere else in Ameri cail periodicals. At all events, it holds a proud S post among Us compeers, and its criticisms in .- particular, though sometimes a little too toma hawkish, have, generally speaking, a great deal e of justice on their side.” [' THE KNICKERBOCKER, Or jVe-w York Monthly Magazine. i, 1 lie May No. of this excellent woik has been it lying on our table for some time, Under a press of other matter, and indeed it was delayed by the , I publishers beyond the usual time of publication, y in consequence of the exquisite etlgfaving which accompanies it not being completed in time. The j. contents a table of which may be seen as usual . in our advertising columns—are highly inlercs j ing, and the engraving, which is very rich and I beautiful, presents a striking view of the Hud ■ son river and the Palisades, from the landing at Fort Leo. In our next, we will publish the Pros pectus of tho Eighth Volume, commencing in » July. 1 , j NEW YORK MIRROR. , The last No. received of this very handsome f and popular periodical, contains a large, beauti ful, and highly finished engraving of a “Distant View of Mount Tom ” —a mountain twelve hun t drod feet high, near Northampton, Massachu setts—with the intervening landscape, including the Connecticut river, and one of its bridges— » n forming, altogether, a striking and interesting picture—engraved by M. Osborne, from a pain ling by A, Richardson. The literary matter is entirely original, and as usual, fioin able and po pular writers; and the typographical execution —also as usual—is very neat and beautiful—the work being one of the most elegant and attrac tive, both in its reading and appearance, in this or any other country. SPECIE CURRENCY. Mr. Be nton introduced into the Senate, on j the loth inst. “A bill to establish the currency of the Constitution for the Federal Government,” which provides, “that bank notes and paper cur rency of every description shall cease to be re ceived or offered in payment on account of tho United States, or of the Post Office, or in foes in the Courts of the United States, as follows : Os loss denomination than twenty dollars, none after the third day of March, 1837 ; of less denomi nation than fifty dollars, none after tbc fid day ot March, 1838 ; of less denomination than one hundred dollars, none after the 3d day of March 1839 ; of loss denomination than five hundred dollars, none after the 3d day of March, 1810 ; of less denomination than one thousand dollars, none after the 3d day of March, 1841 ; and none of any denomination, from and after the 3d day of March, 1842.” The lull was road and ordered to a second rea ding. Wc heartily wish it success. MAJOR BADEN, U. S. ARMY. We heartily concur with the Constitutionalist, in its following tribute to the merits of an estima ble and gallant Officer :—“ Injustice to this high ly meritorious Officer, who is now in Command of the A rscnal near this City, it is proper to make public the following extract front on official des patch lately addressed to him by the Chief of the Ordnance Department. The health of Major Baden has been so seriously impaired by being successively stationed at some of the most sickly Posts in the Southern country, that when his company was ordered to Fort Mitchell in April last, he was reluctantly compelled to remain be hind in charge of the Arsenal. In this position, however, bis unconquerable energy and zeal, have enabled hint, though constantly suffering under a most acute and painful disorder, to render such valuable services as to merit the fallowing testi monial, which is of a kind neither frequently nor lightly accorded.” OuDNASCK OfFICK, ? Washington, June 8, 1836,5 Major N.

It was known that Gen, 1 Moore with his army, loft Fort Wilkinson for , that purpose, and expected to encounter tho cne- I my yesterday morning; that a considerable firing was beard in the direction where tbc Indians wore encamped. The anxiety to hear the result is very great.—ls any news arrives by morning, will add it at the close.” June 18.—“ An express arrived here last night, stating that the Indians bud attacked Fort Jones (about 30 miles below and near Roanoke, in Geo.) and that the Fort was surrounded by In dians in such numbers as to prevent or render a retreat of the few men there very hazardous. This is the morning’s report. No news from Moore’s army yen” From the Standard of Union of yesterday, WAR NEWS. The following letter from an officer of tho War ren Riflemen, contains the latest and most inter esting intelligence from the Creek War : “Camp Georgia, Ain. June 18, 1836. News has just reached here, that the Troops below, have taken Noah Matblo arid his son, pri soners, and that the war is at an end.—That they have scoured the country west of Irwinlon, I do nut doubt that the news is true. I have just learned that Neah Matblo, was decoyed off by some friendly Indians, and given into the hands of Gen. Jessup.” To the Editor of the Charleston Mercury: Sin—Tho following extract from the New York Evening Star, having met with a very ex tended circulation, I trust I shall stand excused for adding a brief commentary which I feel to be due lo myself: “Thefollowing is fom Hudson's Correspon dence, Washington, “I urn enabled to state, on undoubted authority, that a plot is now on foot to deprive Houston of tho command of the Army of Texas, and place , Gen. James Hamilton of South Carolina, at its bead. The proposition has been made lo the Toxian Commissioners, and is now under con sideration. If Hamilton can be placed bt (be head of affairs hi Texas, it is said that 19,000,000 of dollars will be pledged til Il,e cause. It is alleged that Housloil is (rot lire man to carry the plans of Texas into cliect, and a strong party in the south is ready lo lake bold of the struggle if Hamilton can be elected to the chief command.” I am sure that those win know mq, will be lieve that lam at least, innocent nf tho charge of sanctioning a “Plot,” to deprive a gallant sol d;er of the command of an Army to which he has vindicated a paramout claim by his own Sword, more especially at a moment when woun ded in a battle which has covered him with lau rels, he is at once the object of mingled sympa thy and admiration. But I am confident, sir. you will believe with even a bribe of “Ten Millions to the cause of Texas,” I am incapable of being made the in strument of this injustice. I may envy General Houston the glory of having fought with con summate bravery and conduct, one of the most decisive battles in the annals of Ancient or Mod ern war—but if I know myself, I could never “plot.” to tiro prejudice of claims infinitely grea ter than my own. I should not have noticed this rumor if I did not desire to relieve myself (if there is a single man who believes the accusation lobe true,) from tho imputation as tbc gross and offensive arro gance of “plotting” lo take the command from a successful General Us the companions of his glory, in the very hour of his victory.

From the Mobile Chronicle, June 11. Mb. Editoh :—Through the medium of your paper, we think it our duty to state some facts of a highly important nature. Last evening, the Stir of June, an Indian who calls himself O-ha-ba-ta-cri, came into the settle ment on Little River. He has been three days coming from Florida, rides a very good pony, and is on his way to the Ouachita tribe of Indi ans near Red River. The day befoie he left the hammock, called Mela or Bear Hammock,Powell and a young chief, Ho-pa-to-pha, bad a personal fight. Powell received a wound in the left side, near the heart, with a hatchet, which instantly caused bis death. The friends of the deceased were determined to kill tho young ejiicf, but be succeeded in making his escape. Wc question ed him respecting lire disposition of the Indians.' He stated that they would ever be unfriendly to the men who bad taken their land. He also stated that there was much sickness among them, something like a cholera or a bad bowel complaint. These are all the facts of an important nature which we learned pom him. JONATHAN R. WATSON, JACOB VICKERS, Near the head waters of the little river. June 9th, 1836. Great dissatisfaction prevails in Texas at the conduct ol Gen. Houston. Pile following ex tract of a letter from thence, will explain the cause.—,V. T. Courier c? Enqui er. “But forGcu. Houston’s unaccountable retreat, first from the Oaudaloupe, then from the Colora do, then from the Brasos, nothing would have been destroyed. Tho position he. occupied on the Colorado, waa one where he could have maintained himself and kept the enemy hack, 200 men to 100; and when on the Brasos he could have prevented them from crossing, or des troyed tho whole of them as easily as they were beaten on the 21st.

Houson says • he ordered a halt for the purpose of forming and j protecting their camp, which he conceived in danger from the enemy’s reinforcements expect ed (but which had arrived previous lo the battle,) under Gen. Cos. Gen. H. further says that bo was justifiable in retreating from the Colorado and Brasos—that, although it was reported that he had from 1200 lo 2000 men, yet his whole 1 effective force never exceeded 500 men at those places—when tho enemy was reported to have ’ 2000 men.” 1 Mobile, June 10. A gentleman just from Montgomery informs . us that Gen. Jessup had joined tho Alabama vol ■ untcers at Tuskeegee, and that Col. Shackelford had resigned his command and that Gen. Patler i son was expected to do so very soon. Col. i Shackleford informed the Governor that ho did not come to the Nation to lay in comp and make fortifications, but that his men wished lo march In search of the Indians, and he was ready to . lead them. Being under the command of (ho 1 Governor, he could not match without his orders, which he refused to give, and tho Col. instantly resigned his post, and a groat many of the Volun i teers quit their camp, where they had been pent up fur three or four weeks, and returned to their 1 homes. They demanded permission to go in search of the enemy but it was refused them.
