T 7 1 lie Indian war m thi-t qn<xi tor is
Irawio? t° a e!°*e. The destruction of
the hostile Creeks is about to be cottsutn-
ia ted. Gen has moved from
Vort Strother and is now at Cedar creek,
tifiy mile** above Fort-tin 11, with two
uJtzvii fa" hundred effective men—
lie designs making a descent upon the
(likfuskce towns on the Tallupoosa,
whence he will proceed to the jun«li-
,, (d’tbat river with the Coosa, desig
nate! as the place of general rend.z-
V0I „. Being abundantly supplied with
provisions, the army under General
Graham will probably march to the same
b ,i.it in a few days, the whole of tha V.
Carolina troops having eutcred the nati-
o;)i Half famished and almost destitute
„i‘ammunition, it is impossible the ludi-
B „ s car. make muelt resistance—these de-
i;idod people, the unfortunate dupes of
Itrilish intrigue and of their own supersti
tion, mast fall an easy prey to our united
forces.
•r^?* A report favorable to the Yazoo
Speculators lias been made by the commit-
tec, to whom tne subject was refer ed in
t| ie House of Representatives. The ex-
•ueilieii v of quieting their claims ir re
commended on the following grounds—
tlic sanction giveu to them by a late deci
sion of the Supreme court, the highest
tribunal known to our laws—the per ,ia-
iicut interests of the United States as they
relate to the Mississippi territory—the
quiet and speedy settlement of said terri
tory—the more easy extinguishment of
the Indian title to tile lauds contained mi
it ttie security against all future Indian
mrs in that quarter, wli.ch the settlement
c ;the territory must afford —lue exten
jive navigation ^connecting parts ol ibe
Western states witu the oceanj which
must be opened when the population of
the territory shall tie adequate to such an
object—and the strength and safety which
such a population must coufer ou tiie
Louisiana frontier. It is believed oy the
committee, (hat a compromise can be ef
fected on the terms proposed by (he biii
from the Senate, an epitome of which is
mihlished in our preceding columns, and
that the agents nf the Yazoo companies
are vested with full power to settle
the business. As our leaders feel more
than an urdimwy interest in this questi
oo, we have pu dished at leugth in tins
day’s paper, tne proceedings oi Congress
relative to it, and shall continue to lay
before them from time to time ail the in
formation in oar power.
l~T* The trial of John Jones [Whis
key] charged with the murder of Gol.
Tk hldeus Holt, came on before (he Supe
rior Court of this ' eunty ou Friday last.
The examinitiun of witnesses ami argu
ments of Counsel occupied the w hole day
The jury retired about 10 o’clock at
night, and after an hour’s consultation,
returned a verdict of not guilty.
PC7* On Thursday last a Maj. Moutry
tvas apprehended and committed to jail on
the charge of passing counterfeit notes ou
the late U. 8. Bank, The evidence u-
( gainst him is the soldier who we menti
oned in a late paper, as having lost his
Jtuy by exchanging it for counterfeit notes.
THE ALLEVIATING ACTS.
Messrs. Grantlands—
The immoral influence of these acts is
truly alarming, by then), the nature of
things is reversed; t..e creditor is in (lie
power of the debtor, who. w ith the money
in his hands, insolently dietutes the terms
and time of settlement. “ True, [says
il the debtor,] 1 have had your money and
laid it out advantageously ; but you
“ kuow it is optional with me when 1
* shall pay you. If you are hard pushed
A to support yourl'amily and tlmik pro-
6 per to deduct the interest and ten per
* cent of the principal, i will take up
*• my note ; or for a liberal price, you
* shall have my horse.” The creditor
with a sigh from his soul, is compelled to
accept these Jewish terms.
It is said there is a redeeming spirit in
our national constitution, and that the
subject is fairly before the Judiciary, the
only department from the uature of it
that can be uniform and permanent. It
is understood that the qiiestioh of consti
tutionality has been argued before all the
Judges of the s'ate ir. their own circuits,
tud that by exchanging sentiments, they
tuny divide the responsibility if they ap
prehend any. and that their opinions will
bep onounced in the course of the circuits.
1 trust in God they will have the magna
nimity to do theiraluty.
Produce of every kiud hears a better
S riee than it has these seven years, and
‘bts have generally been created with
in that period. The ( reck war will scat
ter at least a million of dollars among
nur citizens, and money has not been as
plenty since the y ear JS07.
i am satisfied that ihc Judges will pro
nounce, that they are uoi authorised to
enforce these acts in violation of the
fights of the creditor ; and I likewise be
lieve that the present Executive will ne
ver sanction another alleviating act.
True, be did sanction the last act ; but
that mitigated, in some small degree, the
aufl'erings of the creditor—and if lie had
not, the hot und must obnoxious act
Mould by the terms of it have been per-
petual.
The judgment und virtues of uicn, and
not the oscillating passions, should be
the standard of merit in public officers.
PJd* dUdarution of a judicial opinion.
similar to that of the Judge* of N. Care*
lina, will restore the due administration
of j'isthn bat veen mm & man ; & will
give to every citizen the rights secured to
him by the constitution of Iris eountrv.

Savannah, March 22.
FIRE !
Last night a little before nine o’clock,
this city was alarmed by the dreadful cry
of fire—it broke out in the house, known
by the name of Levingston’s, on the Month
t’ommon ; whether by design or accident
we have not yet been able to learn. On
the alarm being given, the ritizens re
paired to the place of danger with great
spirit. The wind blew fresh at the com
mencement of the fire from sonth-west,
which threatened the whole of the eastern
part of the city with destruction The
flames raged with great fury, baffling the
utmost acibity of the inhabitants, until
after 11 o’clock, when [ thro’ providence j
the wind lulled, and shifted a little to ill**
north ofwestward, ami put a stop to its
progress ; which relieved us from th»
most painful apprehensions respecting
the extent of the destruction.
The - fire consumed, besides the house
above mentioned, lour adjoining ones, to
gether with the out buildings owned by
Messrs. Frederick and John Herb; and
occupied by Mr. John P. Oates. Mr. G.
W. Allen, and other persons, whose
names we are not able at present, to as
certain. A number of other buildings
were pulled down so as to put a stop to
the further devastation, which was at
first threatened by this alarming fire, ma
king in all about ten The methndist
meeting-house was twice on fire ; hut was
saved w ith great difficulty, as well as o-
ther houses around it
We cannot close this acconnt without
returning our sincere and honest thanks to
col. Manning, of the United States Ar
my, ami capt. W alpoff, of the Navy, for
their exertions in endeavoring to arrest
the progress of the flames. The services
rendered hv these gentlemen on this oc
casion, will ever be remembered with gra
titude by the citizens of Savannah.
Our brave soldiers, and gallant tnrs
heeded by these two gen'lemen were of
essential advantage ; apart of the former
were stationed ius a guard to protect the
property of persons, who had moved it
; from danger The latter, together w ith
a part of the soldiery, displayed great ac
tivity, in pulling down tne out houses ;
and in rendering services otherw ise which
contributed greatiy towards stopping the
fire. Too much praise cannot he bes
towed upon them.—Republican.
