BEWARE OF THIEVES. V
It has not been long since we noticed the break- ,1
ing open of the Store of J. P. Setzk & Co, on s
the opposite corner. We now have to notice (
the entry of Hswson & Bacon’s Store, in a sim- f
ilar manner, on Saturday night. The Thief or t
Thieves entered by the window on Mclntosh i
Street, and appear to have had not a little know- i
ledge of the localities of things in the Store, as I
well as the easiest place at which to cflhct their I
purpose. They took between 60 and 70 dollars I
in cash from the desk and drawers, among which
were S?4O of the Ice Company, The Company’s 1
bag of Specie was as empty next morning, as if
it had been full of the perishable article in which
they deal, and had lain beneath the noon-day
sun. They did not seem to want physic, or did
not understand the labels, and left every thing in (
that litie in statu quo. — Courier of Monday. ,

THE DEPOSITS BILL.
We have been politely furnished by a gentle- |
man of this city, with the following extract of a
letter, Written by a member of Congress, and
dated
“Washington, June 22J, 1836.
Last night, the House of Representatives
passed the bill that originated in the Senate, for
distributing the Surplus Revenue, by depositing
latealily with the several States. It passed the
House with an amendment, that docs not materi
ally affect it, and will be concurred in by the
, Senate. A Veto which was for some time threat
ened, is not now apprehended.”
By reference to an article which wc copy from
the U. S. Telegraph, it will be seen that the
amendment of the House of Representatives,
mentioned in the above letter, has been concur
red in by the Senate, with hut two dissenting
voices. The vote on the passage of the Bill, in
the House, was, Ayes, 155—Nays, 38.
ABOLITION PUBLICATION.
Tiie Charleston Mercury of Saturday last
B ays:—“ We caution our readers against a work
recently received in this city, entitled “ Tales of
the Woods and Fields.” Appended to it is a
Sermon on Abolition, worthy of the execrable
Thompson. It has been sent to the Messrs. Bab
cock, but they fortunately discovered the charac
ter of it in time, and have sent us a copy, with a
request that we will state that it shall be imme
diately returned.”
(Jj*Messrs. Rickards & Stott, Booksellers,
of this city, have also received the disgraceful
Work, mentioned in the above paragraph, (which
is intended to deceive the public in a most shame
ful manner,) and have very properly determined
1(0 return all the copies to the publishers; for
l which they are entitled to, and will receive, the
gratitude aud approbation of every friend of the
South. Publishers at the North, who feel no
more regard for our domestic institutions than to
otward incendiary publications to their agents
at the South, for sale and distribution, ought to
be treated with scorn and contempt by our citi
zens, instead of continually receiving their sup
port and patronage; by which means, if they
were not governed by .principle, interest would
control them, and prevent their frequent attempts
to injure and deceive us. We will hereafter ob
tain aud publish the names of those who forward
incendiary publications to tin. city for rale.

Gan. Glascock has just received the following
letter, (says the Courier of Monday last,) an
nouncing the policy of stationing a force among
the Chcrokccs, which he and the rest of our de
legation have boon strenuous in urging on the
War Department, as necessary to the safety of
Jour people:
War Department, Juno 18, 1836.
It may he agreeable to you, to know that, with
a view to prevent or suppress any hostilities a
mong the Cherokee Indians, a Brigade of Ten
nessee Volunteers, amounting to from one thou
sand to twelve hundred men, one half mounted
and the other half Infantry, will rendezvous at
Athens, on the 7th of July, and proceed imme
diately to the Cherokee country. Brevet Brig.
Gen. Wool has been assigned to the command,
and ho is authorized, should circumstances re
quire it, to call for an additional force, and to
take all necessary measures for the suppression of
hostilities among those Indians', should any occur,
and for their immediate removal.
Very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,

CREEK WAR.
The Columbus Sentinel of the 24th inal., con
tains the following postcript;—“We stop the
press to say that information has just reached
TWELVE HUNDRED Hostile Indians
have this day (Thursday,) surrendered them
selves at Fort Mitchell, with all Iheir arms, &c.
Wc cannot vouch for the above, hut it comes ve
ry straight.”
Extract of n letter, dated
Columbus, June 25.
“The war will now end, I am in hopes, in a
few days. The whole Indian territory is now
surrounded. Yesterday 600 hostile Indians
came to Fort Mitchell and delivered themselves
up—about 700 reported friendly ones, but who
robbed aud burnt houses, were taken by the for
ces under the command of Gen. Moore, station
ed in our section, a few days before I left Irwin
ton. I now consider ourselves very safe.”—
Sentinel,
The following extract of a letter dated Colum
bus, June 25th, is all the information we could
obtain by last evening’s mail. “Yesterday a
party of us, in company of the Governor and
suit, went down on board the steamer Metamora,
to Port Mitchell, to sec the Indians that came in
the day before and surrendered themselves pri
soners of war. There is I think about seven
hundred in ail, men, women and children—2so
were warriors,and were well armed and equipped
Jim Henry with his party was supposed to he
some 10 or 14 miles below in a large swamp, and
Gen. Scott on one side of the river and Gen. Jes
sup on the other in pursuit of them, and it is
thought they will have a fight with them in a
day or two. I have no doubt myself hut the war
is nearly over with the Creeks. They have ta
ken two of the Indians that were engaged in rob
bing the mail, and killed another. They were on
their way to Fort Mitchell with them, hut had
not arrived when I left. I have heard hut little
of the Small Pox since I have been here.”—

The Washington City Volunteers a.fived in
the City of Augusta, Goo., on the 24th lust. and
were politely taken by the hand, by the Citizens
of the place, and treated as brothers by .them,
(glad to sec us repairing to the scene of action
and to protect their Western Frontier from the
wild Savages.) On account of the treatment
which we have received from the young men of
this place, we consider it our duty to make known
publicly in how much better a manner wc have
been received in Augusta thou in other places
through which we have passed. Wc were po
litely invited to attend a dinner in the city, hut
on account of our march, we were obliged to de
cline the invitation. With gieat thanks to the
citizens, we hereunto annex our names.

We are gratified to learn from all quarters of
our district, since the wheat harvest has commen
ced, that the crops me much better than was ex
pected. It was at one time supposed, that they
were much injured by the heavy and continued
rains in May and the early part of June, but the
• opinion seems now to be very general, that more
i than an average crop will bo made.— Messenger.
■ j Appointment by the President —By and with
, j the advice and consent of the Senate: Albion K. i
j Parris, of Maine to he Second Comptroller of
! j the Treasury in the place of James B. Thornton,
i | appointed Charge d’Affaires to the Republic of
, Peru.
s It is stated in a recent publication, asauming to
, be based on well ascertained facts, that of one
hundred and seventy eight million of inhabitants
in Europe, seventeen millions nine thousand are
beggars, oi persons who subsist at the expense of
the community, without contributing to its re-
I sources.
Large and valuable cargo. —The ship Chi
na, Lannour, cleared on Saturday last for Liver

which Volunteers present themselves to repel the
savage aggressions at the South, is gratifying, and
fully sustains our prediction, that the call would
he promptly met. We learn that in town about
eighty enrolled themselves yesterday.—We are
also assured that two or throe hundred will soon
be in readiness to march from this county, to join
their brethren in arms at the rendezvous.—
Nashville Republican.
Fire. —A fire occurred between one and two
o’clock this morning in the Paint shop of Messrs.
Varden & Fabian, the East end of Hard Alley,
adjoining Mr, J, Marsh & Son’s Ship yard, sup
posed to be the act of an incendiary, as the build
ing had been shut up at 4 o’clock on the previous
afternoon and there had been no light on the pre
mises since that time. The shop and kitchen
were burnt down but no other injury was sus
tained, except the loss of materials, supposed to
be Worth about $1000; no insurance.— Southern
Patriot, %sth iust.
Naval. —The Pensacola Gazette of the 18th
Inst, says :—“ The U. S. Cutler Jefferson, under
the command of Capt. Jackson, arrived hero on
the 13th inst. twelve days from Tampico. All
intercourse was forbidden there between vessels of
war and the shore. Merchant vessels are permit
ted to enter the harbor but not to depart. This
seems to be the case at present, at all the Mexican
ports. While the Jefferson lay off’the harbor,
intelligence was received at Tampico of the cap
line of Gen. Santa Anna. The flags of the ves
sels in port and of tile fortifications, wore hoisted
at half-mast, in sign of mourning for the event.
Active preparations were making to assemble a
large military force to march upon Texas. Every
department of Mexico was required to furnish its
quota of this service, to tic asserntilouh ut Matamn
ras. Much excitement prevailed among the in
habitants of all classes. Apprehensions were
entertained that Santa Anna and his follow
prisoners had been put to death by the Texians,
and Resolutions were publicly adopted and pro
mulgated by the provisional government, that no
act of concession of Santa Anna to the Texi
ans, while a prisoner, should be regarded as valid.
Capl. Jackson was not even permitted to com
municate with Mr. Robertson, our Consul at
Tampico, except through the commanding Gene
ral Gomez,
The U. S. steamer America, one of the boats
lately purchased by the Government, is to leave
here to day for the Apalachicola. She is to he
surrounded with bulwarks, and to bo manned
with fifty sailors from the Constellation. The
following officers arc to go in her ; Incut. John
son, Commander, Passed Midshipman John F.
Bouden, Dr. Wedderdubn, Midshipmen Mc-
Cobmick and Shields.”
The same paper says :—“Capt. Tbesuvan, of
the Texian Army, passed through this place on
his way from Texas to South Carolina, on Tues
day lust. Capt. T. was with Fannin when he
was captured, and was one of the only three or
four who escaped the massacre. Ho gives some
particulars, connected with this melancholy and
disgraceful tragedy, which vve hud not before
heard. It seems the Texiun prisoners were
marched out and formed in line before they had
any intimation of the fate which awaited them.
Alter (hoy had been disposed of in the manner
best suited to the object which the Mexican com
mander had in view, that ofilcer, with much ap
parent emotion, announced to the prisoners that it
was his painful duty to have thorn all shot, and
recommended to them to make their peace with
Heaven. A few only survived the fire of the
Mexicans, and among them was our informant,
who contrived, under cover of the smoke, to break
through tire Mexican outposts and make his es
cape. In company with a Kentuckian, whose
name is not given, he wandered through the
woods and prairies for several days, and at length
reached the army of Gen. Houston, Captain
T. states positively that Col. Fannin was not
among the slain, but with a physician of his own
force, was preserved, and is still a prisoner with
the Mexicans.”
Mr, Calhoun's Speech on the Deposits Dill. —
The Alexandria Gazette noticing the speech says ;
“ Mr. Calhoun’s speech on the ‘ bill to regulate
the deposites of the Public Money,’ was very
highly praised at the lime it was delivered, in the
Senate. A perusal of it in print has satisfied us
that the praise was not undeserved.—it is a close,
compact mass of reasoning—lull of the energy of
the speaker’s mind,with that energy mainly develp.
ed in strengthening the force of his argument, and
binding it together as a solid whole. In the natural
course of his speech he exposed the enormity, of
Senator Wright’s project, and his exposure only
aided him in the elucidation ofhis own views, ami
gave an illustration of the correctness of his own
propositions. How incomparably superior is such
an elfin t to the vapid, windy, frothy, harangues
too often uttered on the floor of Congress, ‘ full of
sound and fury, signifying nothing. Mr. Cal
houn’s fame as a statesman is made secure by such
exhibitions ofhis mental power. He may cheer
fully leave the low ambition for place to others,
’ whilst his own towering mind seeks the summit
’ of that distinction which can only he awarded to
urcat men making great exertions in behalf of
their country.”
! The following case of interest to Southerners,
’ was brought before the Court of King’s Bench,
at Montreal. A Mrs. Marvin, of Charleston,
S. C. arrived at Montreal attended by a colored
- girl, who was supposed (o be her slave. A wtit
of Habeas Corpus was served upon the lady, and
’ the girl consequently brought into court, for the
’ purpose of testing the right of a slave to obtain
* unqualified freedom, immediately on entering
Canada. On tbe part of Mrs. Marvin it was al
ledged that the girl was no slave, but an appren
f tice”, and that she was under bonds to tbe amount
-of a thousand dollars to restate her to her parents.
- But the patties who procured the writ, on the
Y other hand, alledged that the girl might never-
I tireless have been the slave of those who had
3 bound or hired her to Mrs, Marvin, and was
3 therefore equally entitled to liberty. Ibo
* having considered ah th® puliculars of the case,
i' directed the girl to bo returned to Mrs. Marvin, a:
i her legally engaged apprentice,—.V, T. Evening

on Foreign Relations, to which had been referral
1 the resolutions of the Legislature of Connect!
■ cut, and all tbe various petitions and memorials
i praying for the recognition of the Independence
| of Texas, made a report in favor of the prayer
in effect, but postponing the recognition fur a
short time. The resolution, which embraces the
feeling of the Committee, and places tbe subjecl
before the Senate, for its action, is as follows :
"Res /veil, That the Independence of Texas
ought to be acknowledged, whenever satisfactory
information shall have been received that it has
in operation a government capable of sustaining
it as ail independent Territory.

-Money. —The Girard Bank must have paid out
more than half a million of dollurs last week on
account of the French indemnity ; and as it was
known that the sum would be payable at that time,
we may suppose that it was not necessary to di
minish discounts in order to meet the payments.
We learn (of course unofficial) that the United
Stales Bank last week made largo discounts, not
less perhaps than a million of dollars in this city
—ami it is not likely that a curtailment will soon
be rendered necessary, although we should sup
pose that some of its discounts mdst have been
made directly upon its specie.— U. S. Gazette.

that the crop of North Carolina and Virginia will
fall short neatly that amount; so that we must
rely for any timber excess, to the receipts of
