Duel.—According to arrangement,
Lamar of Augusta, and Dr. Archibald R. Wood-
sou of Macon, met in tiie forenoon of Monday
last, near Fort Mitchell, Alabama; and, having
twice ineffectually exchanged shots, Woodson
fell at tin- third lire, and in a few minutes expir
ed—the bail passing through his right arm and
the thorax, nnd lodging in his left arm. Lamar
was untouched. They fought at eight paces. ^
From the Columbus Enquirer, of the 8th inst.
INSURRECTIONARY MOVEMENTS.
On the evening of the 31 instant, the first of
the subjoined letters was received from the com
manding officcrat Fort Mitchell, Alabama. Pre
cautionary measures were immediately adopted
for protecting the town, by keeping a body of
men under arinsduringthe night. On the morn
ing of the 4th a number of our citizens, mounted,
proceeded to tho Agency, for the purpose of dis
missing any body of negroes who might he col-
ccted, and of ascertaining, particularly, all tho
suspicious circumstances connected with suppos
ed preparatory plans for an insnrrection among
the slave population in tho Creek Nation. The
result of the examination and inquiry on the sub
ject of Lieutenant Clay’s communication to the
Intcndnut, is contained in tho published state
ments of Colonel Spivy, Major Holland, tuid the
Rev. Sir. SInrtin.
The object of Lieutenant Clay in addressing
tlte Inteudant, as expressed in his second note,
was simply to opprizo our local authorities of the
suspicions entertained’at the Creek Agency, and
place them on their guard. And though the in
formation communicated, and the circumstances
detailed, in the letter of Lieutenant Clay, were
not intended to produce the decisivo movement
which was mado on the part of tho military, still
tho display of force, organized with quickness
and energy, had no doubt a salutary influence.—
It was useful, inasmuch as it distinctly notified
the Indians, who are immediately on our border,
that any improper proceedings, or any large as
semblages of their slaves, would bo attended with
imminent daugcr, not only to the negroes, but to
themselves. , .
Wc have loug been aware that tho Indian
slave population had a very corrupting influence
on our uegroes, and wo hopo that more efficient
measures will hereafter ho adopted in reference
to tho intercourse of the slaves of tho Indians and
whites, and that tho government of our negroes
will be more watchful nnd strict.
Fort Mitchell, Ala. Oet. 3d, 1831.
Gen. Sowel Woolfolk,
Inlendantpf the town of Columbus.
Sin—I conceive it my duty to advise you, that
there prevails at this timo a considerable excito-
ment lit this neighborhood, in consequence of the
extraordinary movements among the Negroes.—
From tho number collected at Broken Arrow and
Coweta yesterday, and tho diversity of excuses
rendered to their masters and others for their ab
sence from home, it is believed that they are ad
vised of tho seditious movements of tho Negroes
elsewhere, and expect to act in concert with
them. These apprehensions nro strengthened by
tlte intelligence gained in North Caroliua, that
tomorrow evening was the tinto appointed for a
general insurrection' in that quarter; further, it is
well known that tho hostility of the Iudians (how-
ever masked) would in such an event induce them
to, co-operate with tho Negroes in any measure
tending to tho destruction of tho whites; of this
act, we have tho positive assurances of Mmha
Barnard previous ro bis death.—As to myselJL _1
entertain no fears in relation to tho subject ot this
communication, but have felt it my duty to make
known to you tho npnrehensions of others, that
it may servo as a caution to tho citizeus of your
town. 1 trust the importance of protection a-
gainst a repetition of the diabolical scenes of
Virginia will plead my apology for this intrusion.
Very rcspcctfttlly, your obedient servant,
J. CLAY.
Fort Mitchell, Oct. 4, 1831.
Sip.—I regret to learn that ray hasty commu
nication of yesterday should have created cort-
sidcrablo commotion among your inhabitants
To excite tho alarms of a community by ground
less fears, I not only consider highly improper,
but as relates to the seditions ofour Negroes high
ly impolitic—giving them importance in their
own estimation.—In order to allay that alarm,
permit me to reiterate my former assurances—
that I feel no apprehensions on my part, as 1 can
not entertain the belief that any: rebellious oper
ations would be attempted in presence of u force
supposed always to be on the alert, but upon a
subject all important to the community, 1 con
ceive it my. duty to advise you of the surmises
of others, tho’ in opposition to my own judgmetot,
which may be established upon light premises,
while theirs may be founded upon better grounds
—a knowledge both of the red and black inhabi
tants.
You will sir, I trust, make allowances for the
natural apprehensious of the times, and believe
that my only object was to suggest to you a sys-
tem of espionage without exeiting a general com
motion— The importance of protection at all
times rendering such measures prudent.
1 am sir, aery respectfully, your obedient ser
vant, J. CLAY.
Gen. S. H’oolfolk, Intendant of the
town of Columbus.
We the commanding officers of the volunteers
who visited Fort Mitchell on tho 4th instant, to
ascertain the grounds upon which the report was
made to General Woolfolk, that led many to
conclude that there was a hostile design on the
citizens of Columbus, from the large collections
of negroes on Sabbath last, do in justice to Lieu
tenant Clay say, that we think lie had good aud
sufficient grounds to make die communication
which was made to General Woolfolk; and we
do believe that Lieutenant Clay was influenced
from the best and most prudent motives—And in
addition to the suspicious movements of the ne
groes on Sunday last, as was represented to us
by Lieutenant Clay, Captain Crowell and Colo-
nol Crowell, we are confirmed that some unusu
al excitement existed, from the fact that some of
the most intelligent of the negroes of the nation
most positively denied having any knowledge of
such meeting as wc believe did meet iu the
neighborhood of Broken Arrow. And from all
tiie facts that were communicated to us, we do iu
our judgement think, that it would be precaution
ary prudence in the town of Columbus, and in
ail iJif- frontier settlements, to be so organized,
keeping out a vigilant watch, knowing that there
exists much discontent and hostility of feeling
from a large portion of Creeks towards us, auu
believe that it would be easy to unito the Indian
and slave in concert against the pcaco and safe
ty of the settlements. Wc therefore recommend
a strict patrol in our streets at night, and in the
country of the Indian settlements a particular eye
to Indian and slave movements. "*.

hod taken a by-road in which he had formerly
been in the _ habit of returning to his residence,
and not being apprized of any obstructions in
his path; and his beast being blind, they were
both suddenly precipitated to tho bottom of tiie
pit, and it is astonishing, from the attendant cir
cumstances, that either escaped with life, as the
gentleman can boast of tho good portly weight of
250. On viewing the place, it appears almost
utterly impossible that a man could lie so fortun
ate as to make the descent on a blind beast, with
out meeting with inevitalle destruction, or at
least severe contusions; but the injury received
was trifling, and of no consequence, by cither
man or beast. Tlte gentleman, from his un
pleasant situation, called lustily for assistance;
and on the approach of ono of the miners, the
young colt of the dam below was observed ca
pering about on the edge of the pit, and soon
tumbled down, also without injury. The gen
tleman was assisted out, and by partly filling up
the pit, and other means, the mare and colt were
also released from their confinement, when the
owner mounted again, and wended his way home,
and was in towu the next day to tell tile story.
Belgian Colonists—Tho attention of many of
®u% citizens have been attracted within a few
day^ by a costume hitherto unknown even in
this city, which presents so great a variety of the
modes of foreigu nations. Several tali, erect,
well made men, have been occasionally Seen in
tho streets, dressed in green suits, of a peculiar
but becoming form, with full Dutch Breeks, green
stockings and square bats of straw, covered with
red silk. Inquiries were made by passengers
whence the strangers, came, and it proves that
they belong to the suite of Friuco Leon, whose
arrival from Belgium has been recently announc
ed. At the Custom House, a few days ago, as
a gentleman informs us, ho saw a person u this
dress entering 45 servauts, and 85 trunks belong
ing to the retinue of this respectable foreigner.—
The recent changes in his native country have
induced him to seek a permanent abode in tho
United States. For this purpose he has brought
a considerable number of iiis countrymen, with
a largo sum of money, as is stated, designing to
purchase a’ tract of laud in Pennsylvania. \Ve

Origin of Newspapers—After tho defeat of tho
Spanish Armada intended hy Philip II. of Spain
for the invasion of England, great interest was
excited in every class, wiiich gave rise to a very
important invention—that of Newspapers.—Pre
vious to this period, all articles of intelligence had
been circulated in manuscript, aud all political
remarks which the government found itself inter
ested in addressing the people, had issued in the
shape of pamphlets. But the peculiar conve
nience at such a juncture, of uniting these two ob
jects in a periodical publication becoming obvious
to the ministry, there appeared sometime in the
month of April, 1588, the first number of the En
glish Mercury, a paper resembling tho present
English Gazette, which must have come out al
most daily, since No. 50, the earliest specimen of
the work now extant, is dated July 23d of the
same year. Tho interesting article is preserved
in the British Museum.

Columbus, Oct. 5, 1831.
Speaking of the cireulntion ’.of incendiary pub
lications, tho Liberator, for example, among our
slaves, the National Intelligencer says:— .
‘The existence of the production above referred
to, and tliefactofits transmission in great numbers
through tho medium of tho Post Office, aro be
yond donbt; though we do not believe in secret
agents being employed to circulate it, simply,
because tho vocation would he too dangerous for
even the most desperate man to undertake.
‘No one knows better thau we do the sincerity
with which the intelligent population of New
England abhor and reprobate the incendiary pub
lications which are intended by their authors to
lead to precisely such results (as concerns the
whites) os the Southampton Tragedy. But, we
appeal to tho people of New England, if not in
behalf of the innocent women and children of the
whites, then in behalf of the hjaeks, whose utter
extermination will be the necessary result of any
general commotion, whether they will continue
to permit their humanity to lio under the reproach
of approving or even tolerating the atrocities
among them which have already caused tho plains
of tho South to be manured with human flesh and
blood.

printing and binding, aro of tho first order, and
in fact decidedly superior to the stylo promised

colouy of tweuty thousand veterans to Louisiana,
aud that they were already assembled at Ilolvoet-

of Amiens gave them another destination. He
adds this anecdote:
“ It happened that a member of the Senate of

Commissioner of Napoleon, authorised to receive
posscssiou of the province, arrived there, and be
