TUo Burial at Ibe WUlilacoochco.
Hollow ye the lonely grave,
Make its eaverns deep and wide;
In the soil they died to save
Lay the bravo men aide by side.
Side by side they fought and fell.
Hand to hand they met the foe;
Who has heaid hisgtandsire tell
Hraver strife or deadlier blow !
Wake no mournful harmonies,
Shed no earthly tear for them ;
Summer dew and sighing breeze
" Shall be wail and requiem.
Pile the grave-mound broad and high,
When; the martyred brethren sleep ;
It shall point the pilgrim’s eyo
Here to bend—but nut to weep.
Not to weep! oil, no ! the grief
Springing from a blow like this,
May not seek a fond relief
In the drops that mothers kiss.
But the kindling heart shall bear
lienee the lesson stern and high,
With as proud a flame to dare—
W ilh aa calm a throb to die.

LATKST I-KOM KNGLANI).
By the packet ship North America,
Captain Dixey, from Liverpool, we have
intelligence l<> the first of June.
The Spanish Corte/. was dissolved by
M. Isturit/. on (he 23d, which was con
sidered an unpopular measure, and has
the effect of depressing Spanish securi
ties, and preventing the government rais
in'; the necessary supplies. The resig
nation of Mciuli/.abcl continues to ex
cite regret. The British Legion, under
Gen. Kvans, was at St. Sulmtiau on the
28th May, preparing for vigorous opera
tions. It was expected that an attack
would be shortly made on (he whole of
the enemies line and passages.
From our Uvorjtool Oorreeponilrnt.
Meetings have been held, and are now
in progress, in most of the principal
towns ol Ireland. The people are uni
ted, as one man, and declare, that unless
they have a measure ofmunicipal reform,
such as has been granted to Ragland and
Scotland, they will use every means in
their power lo have a speedy and com
plete repeal ol the Colon. To this com
plexion has the obstinacy of (he Tory
I’eers brought (he country. They must
submit to the ro.r /upii/i, or they must be
prepared for a slnggle, on (he pail, of
Ireland, to “cut (he painter” which now
connects (hat island with Groat Britain.
Sheil, Grattan, Jack Lawless, Lords
Killeen and Miltown, and a long array
ol rank and respectability in Dublin, have
re established the Catholic Association!
Uis (he old thing under a new name.
It is now the Reform Association, and
the “ reform rent” will be collected.
The aristocracy have cause to be afraid
•—for this new association seeks some
thing more than justice, on account of
the Irish Corporations, it demands (and
must gain) (ho abolition ol tithes. So that
while the Lords thought they were lay
ing one devil, they have raised up two.
Tim Corporations of Ireland—plague
spots upon the injured land, must, be
wholly reformed, and (he abomination,
ol Tithes paid hy Catholic to Protestant
clergyman whom they seldom see and
never hear, is a nuisance which must also
be removed. Ireland is strong enough to
right herself.
The new Spanish ministry, appointed
by a back-stair intrigue, appears likely
to eventuate in an organic change of the
Spanish system of government. I should
not wonder it the Queen Regent would
one day get her walking papers. Don
Miguel wants a wife, let the bed-fellow
ol M 111107,, the life-guard's man, join him.
The new ministry is thus formed :
Isturit/., as President of the Council and
Minister of Foreign Affairs; —General
Seoane, Minister ol War; Aguirre So
larte, now Ambassador to France, Min
ister ot Finance; Geliano, Minister of
Marine; the Duke tic Rivas, Minister of
the Interior; while the Ministry of Jus
tice remains to he filled up. Os these
men, Isturit/. and Galiano have been ul
tra-liberal : what (hey are a few days
will show. Isturit/. has published a min
isterial manifesto which prates prettily,
ol putting an end to the civil war, and
severely punishing offenders against the
peace, but does not tell us wbat will be
the line of policy to be adopted by the
new Cabinet.
The Procuradores have promptly given
their idea of the change. Outlie first
day that the new Ministry took their seats,
as Ministers, it was moved that the vote
ol confidence (almost unanimous) in
Mend /.abel, should not be extended to
Isturit/. & Co. This was carried by 96
to 12. Isturit/. and Guliano voting in
the minority ! Rut this is imt all.
The opinion is that the French are at
(he bottom ol the intrigues which have
broken up Mendi/abelV Cabinetandthat
Reyneval, the French Ambassador at
Madrid, personally influenced the Queen
to dismiss Mendi/.ubel. As a proof that
lliere is some truth in (bis—
I may add (bat Isturit/. lias actually
applied to premier Thiers to lend him
some money with which to carry on the
government, without being at the merev
ol the Chamber of Procuradores, who, it
appears, will '(stop the supplies.” Gen.
Alaya bad an interview with Thiers, at
1 arts, on I hursday, anil it is believed
that the result is, that, mi the provisional
pimranlec of the i'rcnch gov eminent, a
Paris capitalist advances 3 millions francs
to M. Isturit/..
The Paris Moni/cw of Saturday an
nounces that, on May 23, Isturit/, had
dissolved the Spanish Corte/.. Thin set
tles the question. Isturi(7 cannot carry
on (he Government, except by force or
borrowing money from foreign capital-
Lis; will they lend it f I doubt. The
new elections are anticipated to be deci
dedly again*/ him.—So completely is
the credit ol the Government gone, that,
says the Madid correspondent of a Lon
don paper.
“ Ihe different contractors for (he
suppl y of provisions, bedding, clothing,
t ie!, fee. to the troop.-, of the garrison of
Madrid, and (he new levies, have sever- 1
temmmmmmmmmmm*.. ; -i - r jn
ally addressed lo the Government for- a
mal notices, to (he effect, that it they be h
not paid the amount of (heir outlay on •
Saturday next, they must close (heir tna- I
ga/.ines. Upon receiving this notificu- s
turn, Senor Isturit/,, called together the <
chiefs of the customs, lottery, and other I
public departments, and was informed by t
them that the utmost (hey could promise
him within the week was is 10,000.
“On the next day, (May 1!)) Senor
Cantcro, one of the Procuradores, saw
that the fail of the Spanish funds, since
the new ministry came in, involved a loss
of 216,380,000 reals to the creditors of
the State.

D.rlrucl of letter from n principal rn in of

July I t, 1836.
Deau Sui—Since my arrival at home
I have endelivored to ascertain hy every
means the state of feeling among the
Chcrokces in regard to the treaty. lam
happy to inform you that the Chcrokces
are much better satisfied than was appre
hended by many. In fact there i-, no
doubt hut that a large majority will quiet'
ly yield to the treaty, and move away as
aooii as they can.
Many reports have been circulated,
making the Chcrokces do or about to do
horrible things, lint these report:, have
no foundation only in (lie imagination ol'
the timid. The truth is the Indians are
as much frightened as the whites, and
think, themselves in great danger of be
ing attacked by the whites.
I think it sale to conclude that there
‘ is no danger ol war b t ween parlies so
much ale,tit) of each other. Ido believe
that it a serious rumor of war was got
ten up, that there would If a general
’ running on both sides—(he Indians Imm
the whiles—and the whiles from the In -
■ dians,
I’lm white people in various parts of
■ the nation have taken from the Indians
' their Hiiim, This proceeding in my o
pinion was al(gelher uncalled fur, and
- extremely cruel to the Indians, consider
ing that very many of them are depen
I claiit for their subsistence wholly upon
their guns. lam (old that many afflict
ing scenes have occurred in the progress
nl this business. The poor Indian
I when bis gun was demanded gave it up,
. saying lo (he white people—you can take
my gun i never intended to harm you
with it—you have taken our land, our
homes, and our fields—but now you (pke
Irom ns the only thing with which we
tan kill a bird or a squirrel for our cliil
. dren, and leave them to starve. To the
r honor of the white people, many dischnr
t ged this unpleasant duty with bleeding
i> hearts. I hope it will bo discontinued—
C and if persisted in, (bat (he means of
, support will be instantly furnished. I
. appeal to you—to all good Georgians to
i interest yourselves in oehalfi of these
- suffering people. Their stay amongS
. you will not be long—let it be in peace
1 and comfort. If means of relief cannot
be afforded by Georgia—let the Pivsi
-1 dent—let Congress be applied to—lo
hasten supplies.
1 When you go on to go through
. (he nation,you will find the people friend
,l’ ly—and you may do much goad by advi
-1 sing both Indians and whiles to a proper
t course.

The. question soon lo hr put to the Jl
mrrican I 'topic—how will it he answered?
>• That solemn question, in which is in
t volved every consideration of peace
1 among ourselves ami respect among (lie
i other nations ol the earth, will ere long

many months shall have rolled by, we
I will know whether (lie star of corruption
is to shine in our political /.enith, or some

1 hope and polar star of a great evidence of
a linn disposition, among our felluw-citi*
/.yiis, lo stand up against (he tideofolfl

1 the candidate anointed by (he hand of
I him who should rather have left the poo

■ dictated a favorite of his own fur their

t come to us in a shape so imposing and

‘ doctrine has been openly and impudcnt
• ly avowed that servility in parly adker
s hence was (he best, if not tins*only re
• commendation to office ; and the cause-;
< qucuce is, that our places of trust are
1 tilled by a set ol electioneering hum who
stock the mails, and deny to the people
’ that information which,'emanating from
the scat of the Government and from pa
pers vigilant over the transactions of the
• put ty, are alone (he vehicles ol correct
information. The most wasteful extia
> vagance marks every department, and
Ira mis and speculations are permitted
1 i and concealed by an administration which
! came itijo power to correct abuses; and
’ Martin Van Huron has pledged himself
1 j to carry out the doctrines of ids iiumedi
| ate predecessor and his party. Forty
-1 j lour millions «( the people’s money has
been expended in one year, and the"can
-1 didate of the party has pledged himself
• to carry out the same system. Will the
1 people submit to stick a state of things?
t \N ill they not rather rally to the standard
ol liberty, and trample beneath their in
1 tlignant feet the corrupt abettors of so
1 : foul and reckless a party f We bear the
- | answer in their former deeds-for their
' country. And who is this anointed man
( that stands before our eyes, and asks the
• savory incense of a people’s love for his
1 person? Let Virginia, pointing to her
1 proud principles ol “98,” answer the
/ question, and then kneel before the star
1 of Kiukoihook. Virginia, proud in her
’ State doctrines and her independent spir
| it. Let her remember too, when she re
plies, that this beloved one of her heart
opposed Madison in the war, but when it
) became popular throughout the coun
try, came round and supported it. Let
1 her remember that this same man was
directly opposed to Mr. Jefferson
upon the Missouri question, and will
'.always be lound in direct opposition to
every tiling that is liberal in policy, or
. wise in government.-—And let the whole
South, standing upon her plains and sur
rounded by her dark population, point to
the Legislature of New York, and galling
! up Mr. \ an Buren s vote in lavor nfgraut
j ing equal suffrage to the blacks, answer
1 the questwa vi rus capacity, from feeling
fl———l tmmm ■aawwi'iwawlll 'wj.,w«ra-irnri
and education, aaid habits, to which they In
hold so delicate and trembling a position. t<
And let the West, rising from amid the q
boiling and tumultous ocean of the Mis- p
souri restriction reply by referring to the |>
course of this anointed heir, in the Legis- tl
lature of his State, when he voted against (
the untrammelled entrance of the proud s
State of Missouri into the Union ; and |
then auk herself if she can support a man i
who has no interest similar to their own t
—who is only fit to speculate in canal |
stock, and walk upon change to buy up t
Chicago lots. Had Van Buren rendered j
any service to this country in the field t
or in Congress, bad be stood like a free - <
man before (be throne of the British King, ]
and not upon his kneers begged a boon, ■
as he did in the colonial trade affair, in '
mder that it might redound at home and
succor him in a political view ; had he
not bent before (he tiara of the Papal
See, and thus accomplslie.il two acts of
servility to foreign potentates ; had he
not, like a trembling time, serving meni
al, admitted the right of legislative ac
tion upon (he slavery question ; we might
possibly discover in (fie obscurity that
v eils his life Irom toe eves of his coun
trymen, some negative virtue, some so
cial quality, some highness in his moral
character, that would at least be. respec
ted by the country, and lie miglit fill the
lofty seat of onr Chief Magistracy with
the knowledge that he had never truckled
to circumslrnce, or laid the pride and
character of his country before the foots
tool of a King. Had lie not opposed (lie
ingress 1 of a State info the Union, we
might hail him as the friend of equality
among the Stales. Had he not opposed
the war alone time, and, when he saw
the popular feeling running in its favor,
turned to its support, we might look for
a statesman-like consistency and a patri
otic firmin' i when onr country should be
insulted, but as it is vve cm hope for
nothing honorable to (be Republic at his
hands—for he who has wantonly barter
ed away every idtrilnife that should ena
ble a man, in order to acquire the power
to become a s-ueces-J’iil politician, will &
must inevitably involve the Government
he rules, in the same infamy and disgrace
which his poor spirit has bnmglitupon his

’ It may not probably bo the fault of our

A feeble attempt was made at a late pe

by the foreign influence in the. house ;
but at the next session it will be done,
and done by acclamation. Common

ORDERS—NO. 2D.
Head Qua iitkr.s Aumy of the Sooth, ?
Columbus, Ga., July 7, 1830. $
Major General Scott has been called
to W isliington, and the command of this I
Army devolves, from the publication of
this Order, on Major General Jessup, to
whom, in future, all reports and applica
tions will be made.
The Creek war, (hough yet to be wound j
up, may be considered as virtually over.
Two parties of the hostile Indians, which
have escaped to this side of the Chatta
hoochee, arc now hotly pursued. The
larger of those parties is shut up in a
swamp, and from the strength of Col.
Beall’s detachment, that under Caps.
Jernigan, and (he re inforcement sent
hence, under Major Iloxie, a capture of
(lie whole body of the fugitives seems to
be inevitable. The other hostile party
will, probably, (rum the measures in oper
ation, share the same fate. In the late
Creek country the number of (lie enemy
to be captured or forced to surrender, is
considered i|uite inconsiderable.
Major General Scott regrets that, from
the suddenness of his separation from the
Army, the opportunity is lost to him of
doing that full justice to all the corps he
has had the honor to command, which
their patriotism, zeal, and gallantry claim
at his hands, and indeed from the highest
sources—(he Government and country.
To His E xceliency, the Governor of
Georgia, who has remained on the fron
tier in order to lend himself in every
way powerfully to the prosecution es the
war, the particular thanks of Major Gen
eral Scott, are due. Before the Georgia
line could ho mustered into the service
<d the United States, Uis Excellency had
made disposition ojihis armed troops, nut
only to protect his own frontier, but to
prevent the escape of the enemy in the
direction of Florida, This was the great
danger to be guarded against, and all
that /.eal and ability could effect on his
part, has been put in practice and accom
plished. It is hoped that this slight ac
knowledgment, made to the Chief Ma
gistrate of a powerful and patriotic State,
may not be deemed impertinent because
coming from a military functidnary of
the United Slates. It is eminently de
served. Os the Georgia line, w hich has
constantly acted under the immediate ob
servation of Major General Scott, lie will
ever be. happy to speak in terms of the
highest approbation. That line has, un
der its immediate and able commander,
Major General Sanford, throughout evin
ced the best dispositions—a readiness to
obey orders, to march against the enemy,
and to win honor for itself, for Geoma,
and the Union. The greater part of it,
fora long time, was held inactive for the
want of arms, which, by a series of strange
accidents, failed to arrive, whilst other
portions of the same line, in positions ou
tlie river, had frequent and severe com
bats with the enemy. In these, if the
Georgian detachments were not alwavs
successful, they at least were ready to
oppose an obstinate resistance to superior
numbers. Captains Oarmany, Jernigan,
Ball, and Fltielleii, with their companies,
won for themselves much distinction on
those occasions, whilst Captains Dawson
ami Pearson, erni/.ing with their compa
nies on board steam boats, rendered high
ly valuable services. Capt. Dawson, ”m
several occasions, displayed the greatest
judgment and intrepidity in marching to
the relief of the fixed pasts, and landing
in the presence of the enemy, in order to
destroy his means ot passing the river.
Os the Alabama line, with the excep
tion of Brigadier General Moore’s Bri
gade, Maj. Gen. t-cutt cannot speak eith
er (com his own observation, or on a di
rect correspondence. Maj. Gen. Jesup,
himself an able commander and a com
petent judge, in his reports, speaks high
ly ol Maj. Gen. Patterson and his divis
ion, and it is directly know n that Briga
dier General Moore, placed in the lower
line ol operations, has, acting almost in
dependently, made., able dispositions of
his Brigade, and has captureu more than
two hundred prisoners.
lo the Regular Troops, including the
I ■ 8. Marines, the usual praise is due;
ilieA have exhibited steadiness, discipline,
and an eager desire to come in contact
with the enemy. Although disappointed
■it that favorite wish, they have, in all
other respects, rendered themselves high
ly useful. °
h is known that the friendly Indians,
acting as auxiliaries under Ceil. Wood
waul and others, have rendered valuable
services. To them, a great number of
lae captures and voluntary surrenders
are to be attributed.

Essay under the above title, which appeared
originally in the March No. of the Southern
Literary Messenger, and is now published sepa- ,
[ ratelv in a very neat pamphlet of twenty-four {
pages It was republished from the Messenger
in the Augusta Chronicle, and wo hope attentive- |
ly read by every subscriber; and if'the pseudo .
“Union'’ prints really (cel tire love and venora
ration they so loudly profess, for our Federal iu
stitullons, they would confer far more service on
them by laying this address before their readers,
than by all their mere wordy and unlnslruclive
declamation. The one merely shews 'that they
profess regard for the Union, be it what it may 1
—the other, that it deserves regard, and that too 1
much care cannot he exerted to preserve it from
•he blighting and corrupting influence of those
wordy demagogues, who use its popular name,
merely to advance their own personal and party
interests, without caring a fig for ils principles, \
and earnestly labor to identify their own selfish 1
perversions of it, with the Union itself.—No man
can read this Address, without increased love and
veneration fur the Union, such as our' fathers '
made it, and mdeeper sense of the duty ho owes '
to the country and to mankind, of striving to pre
serve and perpetuate it, in its pristine purity. Like *
every thing else from the highly-gifted mind of
Professor Dew, it is characterized by profound *
thought, deep research, clear original conceptions
and dovolopemcnts, and bold, impressive, and in
structive truth ; and strengthens the opinion we
have long held, that that mind is one of the very
J J
finest ami best of the age—most clear, Comoro
hensive, original, and correct, in its judgment, °

pure and elevated in its sentiments and feelings,
and instructive, benign, and ameliorating, in its
influence on mankind. The God from whom it
emanated, and toward whom it must elevate oth- C
ersby its expanding and enlightening influence,
must have delegated it for immensely great and
good purposes, which we have every reason to
trust will ho amply fulfilled ; and for the Address 1
in question, which is one of its most va Juablc '
and instructive productions, we would say, to eve
ry one who values light and knowledge, and can
obtain an opportunity of doing so, read it —read
it, every patriot—every man who would be a
patriot.
“THE DOCTOR, Ac. t
hi Iwo Volumes; New York: Published by a
Harper Os Brothers. 183 G.” d
This is the title of a volume politely handed •
to us by Messrs. Uiciiakos & Stoy, of this city, v
at whoso bookstore it is for sale. The public are
already familiar with the title, and should be with c
the work itself, for it is intended for the public, s
and though not dedicated to it, says a great ma- d
ny things with which the public will he pleased c
and amused—many things instructive and curi- t.
ous. It has lessons for the antiquarian and lover
ot science—for the preacher and the hearer—for t.
the client and the counsel—for thp aitizan and ]
the meichanl for the politician and the man of
private life for the married and the unmarried— t
in short for all who compose the public, of whom, '
individually and collectively, the Doctor speaks b
bis own mind. But hoar his opinion of the
“public, ’ and then, let every reader who feels a o
curiosity to know what the Doctor says of him, s
(for he may he assured he says something,) get g
the book, read it, and sec. It allbrds a rare spe- h
ciiuon of talent and learning—of wit and humor, s
and combines in a most happy manner, substan
tial and amusing information. s
““ What a kindofbeing is circumstance !”says C
Horace Walpole, in his atrocious tragedy of the
Mysterious Mother. A very odd kind of being "
indeed. In the course of my reading I remember
but three beings equally rermfrkable—as porsoidli- ai
ed in prose and verse. Social Tie was one; (.’a- lit
tastropho was another; and Inoculation, heavenly
maid ! the third. y V
But of all ideal beings the most extraordinary is al
that which we call the public. The public and
transubslanliation I hold to be the two greatest
mysteries in or out of nature. And there are cer
tain points of resemblance between them. For
as the priest creates the one mystery, so the uu- nt
thor.or other appellant to the said public, creates th
the other, and both bow down in worship, real o c [,
imulated, before the idol of their own creation,
md as every fragment of the wafer, break it into
is many as you may, contains in itself the whole
mire mystery of fransuhstantialion, just in the
iame manner every fractional part of the public
assumes to itself the powers, privileges, and pre
ogatives of the whole, [ns virtually, potentially,
nd indcfeasably its own. Nay, every individual
vho deems himself a constituent member of the
aid public, arrogates them also, and when he
irofesses to he acting pro bono publico, the words
ncan with him all the good he can possibly got
or himself.
The old and famous illustration of Hermes
v.ay be in part applied to the public ; it is a circle
if which the centre in everywhere : in part, I say,
for its circumference is defined. It i 3 bounded by
language,'and has many inlcrcirclos. It is indeed a
confused multiplicity of circles intersecting each
other, perpetually in motion and in change. Eve
ry man is the centre of some circle, and yet in
volved in others; he who is not sometimes made
giddy by their movements, has a strong head; and
ho who is not sometimes thrown olf his balance
by them, stands well upon his legs.
Again, the public is likda host of patent cnlfms
packed for exporlatian, one within another.
There are publics of all sizes, from the genus gen
ernlissimum, tbe great general universal public,
whom London is not large enough to hold, to the
species specialissimac the little thinking public,
which may find room in a nutshell.
There is the fashionable public, and the reli
gious public, and tbe play-going public, and the
spoiling public, and the commercial public,cud
the literary public, and the reading public, and
Heaven knows how many publics more. They
cull themselves worlds sometimes—as if a certain
number of worldlings made a world !
He who pays his homage to any or all of ibcsC
publics, is a publican and a sinner.”
