On Thursday, the usual Annual Oration before the two Literary Societies, was delivered by Charles J.

But the striking feature for which of all others it deserved most to be admired and valued, was its daring to striko out boldly from the clap-trap, demagogue path too common on such occasions, to tell important and whole some, but unwelcome truths. Noble and virtu ous is always that patriotism which faces a Sovereign with such—noblest and most Intrepid of all, when it he that many-beaded and most irresponsible and dreaded of all sovereigns, the People !—To attempt a sketch of its many ex cellencies would he to do it injustice. Let all who would properly appreciate them, (at least without its beauties of delivery,) read it, when published, as it will he shortly, by the Demoslhc niun Society, of which the vruthor is a member, and which has passed a resolution flatteringly soliciting a copy for publication.

Habersham, of Habersham—an . enthusiastic devotee of his most beautiful, refined, i and attractive art—an amiable and estimable : man, with that delicate and retiring modesty which is ever characteristic ol true merit—and perhaps ; the only native artist oflhe State. It was an in cident of no.ordinary interest to mo, to witness a talented, educated, and accomplished young man thus striking out from tire over-crowded paths of his fellows, to set them a novel and noble exam ple—to devote his hopes and interests to this (here) new and neglected art, and throw its beau tifying, refining, and civilizing influence over the rising character, and genius, and fume of his own j State, We cordially wish him success, and ear nestly commend him to the kind interest and pat ronage ol the intelligent, virtuous, and patriotic of our people, who should feel it at once a duty and a pleasure, to foster an example and ambition no less honorable to the artist himself, than elevating and adorning to the society in which they live.

The Col. was absent at the time. Tho Indians were pur- 1 sued to the nation but not overtaken. We arc i now so situated that we can defend ourselves 1 against almost any number of Indians that would 1 be like to approach our quarter.

The circum stances attending their deaths are not less ullect ing than honorable to their memory. Nicholas was wounded, in a skirmish with llic Heminolcs, on the 30th March, in charging a hammock near Micanopy’s Town—His, thigh was broken by a rifle ball. He was removed to Tampa Bay, where the army encamped ; until the middle of April. His filends were cheered \vith tho belief that he was doing well, and when they left liim on their return march, anticipated hisearly recovery—Ap pearances had deceived them—the wound broke out afresh, in attempting to remove him to a ves sel, to be conveyed homewards—amputation be came necessary, and oven that, Unhapppily, was un vailing.
