Twigrt County. The Fourth Day of July, 1&J2, mid the fi'y- aixth Anniversary of American Independence, was celebrated at the hon.se of Robins Andreas Esq. in Twiggs comity, with becoming honors: the sunshiuo of tiio national jubilee fully shone forth, and Mnjor James Pkaxson officiated ns President. and .Mr. Pleasant 1’oos hs Vice Pre sident of the Day—which was honored with •omethiug like five hundred persons, who partook of ti very excellent dinner prepared b.v the said Mr. Andrews Plenty abounded ns much ns n fertile country can afford, aa l tho company en joyed themselves with music. After the duili was removed, the President of the Day delivered to the companv the following very appropriate ADDRESS: “Fellow-Citizens—I ap-icar before von to day, fully apprised of ray inability (o do the sub- S it now before us justice, an J was it not the con- cneo I repose in you, fcllow-citizcut, 1 should shrink from the task, hut feeble as my abilities are, I have abundant proof in ; on, from acts that arc past aud gone, that you are free to forgive my errors, which prompts tiio forward today. My friends, tho occasion is great that bns assembled us together at this time; it is the annual return of the birth day of our liberties. Fellow-citizens, wo have met together today for tho purpose of* commemorating that ever memoraldo day whitli gave our liberties exist.-uro nud caused us to ns- littne the name of the free sons and daughters of America. But, follow-rhi tens, this is uot like this day 56 years ago was; that day had long been clouded in obscurity, darkness nud uncertainty; the light of freedom had just burst forth from n long and ardent struggle in which onr forefathers bravely fought, bled and conquered, while our helpless mothers nnd their little infants had scarce ly wherewith to lay their heads, exposed to be E hindered of thoir little nil or burnt up in their owes, which was frequently tho case. Yee, fel low-citizens, that day was the time on which the standard of our present liberties was declared and unfurled to those happy United States, the liberty that we this day so richly enjoy. But, fellow-cit izens, lot us redact fir it “moment who it was that achieved those glorious liheriiea: it was those brave eons of freedom, to wh: aur forefathers with that immortal nud illustrious statesman, George Wash ington at their head, whose name ever sounds near and dourto the free hearted sons of the pro- s:».t day; when our country had home insults and iujuries ropoatoJIy from our mother country from time to time, and wo had petitioned and solicited thorn to forbear her injuries, she was at '.hat time "plundering our seas, ravaging onr coasts, burn ing our towns nnd destroying tho lives of ourpco- ple. She had constrained uur fellow-citizens taken captive on the highscas to boar arms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren or to fall themselves by their bands. Sho had endeavored to bring on the in habitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an un distinguished destruction of nil ngos, sexes and conditions. In every stare of tbeso oppressions we had petitioned thorn for redress in the most mild and humble terms. Our repeated petitions bad only been answered by repeated injuries.— A prince, whose character was thus marked by ev ery aet which may defiue a tyrant, wasunfit to be the ruler of a freopcoplo." “It was after all this •forbcaranco, fellow-citizens, that our country, through necessity, had to declare wur with our mother country; it was thon th it our forefathers blood run warm in their bravo and free-hearted veins; then it was that they aroused from thoir le thargy and said to tho enemy, "lints far and no far ther shall thou go, wo have borne your insults long enough." In that hour of uncertainty it was thul our bold andinvutnembo Washington unsheathed bis sword, aud our fathers shouldered their mus kets, determined to co'nquer or die. Yes, fellow- citizens, under the kind hand of a divine Provi dence, victory was our causo. And now fellow- citizens, let mo ask you this question, where is the nation on the face of the whole earth that has enjoyed such a length aud series of years of peace as theso Uuited States! None under tbo canopy of heaven. Well may we call the few surviving Revolutionary cbarai «gm, the heroes of our coun try's glory. Let me cast my eyes around and see if I am surrounded by any of those blood stained characters; if 1 am I cau only haii you as the fa thers of this day, and say to you, though you are few in number, I trust your bravery will be re warded when you are sleeping in your craves, and may prosperity and happiness attend you many years yet to come, and may yon yet stand an ornament to our epuntry to stimulate the pro- «ent generation to deeds of bravery, and when you aro called hence, may you have downy pil lows to rest your heads upon and breathe your lives out sweetly there, in view of a never ending lifo; and if any of these old grey headed fathers by whom I am now surrounded who were not old enough to partake in that ever glorious struggle, who can bear witness to some oftho honors of our birth rights, I can only say hail, bull to your de- dining days; may your last days bn your happiest days, and may you Jong live to rehoarse the diffi culties of our forefathers, to the present genera- v-but t-t • hher'ins and ever st. nd rc^dy to defend our country's rigL“.s, nnd let us so act at tvo n.v. •■rove a beams ro future generations to light i’r u nn to acts likewise; nnd in cur forefather! u .iii,; ed th. >c bieningA by :be last of their hhwd ,iud numbers of them tb. ir live*, n:! h in ted them .bitvu in pnriiy in u*. so let u* net ■>% to ii;mu thorn down to tik-generation* vrt to cuuic. untorui-hed •ttld whun we arc slurping in our grave* may tip youthful generation* have entire to exclaim an.. *ay, our fathers were prudent and brave, so let «< be.

U. S. S’.in Fctnmtc■—Wo have been favored (*«y* the N. Y. Cour, & Enquirer) with tho fol lowing extract of a letter from a goutiemuu on •Sard tbo l’ntomac: "f V.'v miles from Rat mitt Roads, ?

Iu tiio afternoon, five of our lieutenants and S mid shipmen, disguis'd ns a tncrelmit, a captain.. sun renr»i», and tho others as a port of tne crew of n morehnntniRti, sailed from tin; ship in the wh ile boat under tho pretence of purchasing a cargo of pepper. On tiieir approach to tho shore they observed it . lined with armed men. Not thinking it prudent to land, they put back to tho ship,—before they reached tho ship, n small fish ing l)or*t Ind conic alongside, and wc made pro soners of those who were in her. All hands were called to ‘out boat*’—an order which was promptly obeyed. At half-past two o’clock wo left tlm ship as follows:—Whale boat, 1st I,iout.

We lauded ahont one hell after four o’clock, numbering in all about "GO men, and commenced the attack in four divisions—three of sailors and ono marine*. We commenced nn attack on the five forts, tliree of which we took possession of. A number of the huts were burned. The other two forts were separated from us by a creek which wa* too deep to ford. The number killed on our side was two, aud seven wounded. From all tho information wc .could receive, the number of na tives killed was 60 and 90 wounded. The names of the persons killed from our party were. Wm P. Pmi'h a Swede, and ■ Brooks n marine. Tin: whole-affair wns conducted with great skill and brnverv on tho part both of the oificers nnd the men. “Wo had the pleasure of seeing the star spangled banner eves in that remotoisiaud, to far from the land of freemen. Mr. Berry, cur assistant sailing master, was second mate of the ship Friendship, when her crew were so cruolly massacred here. On tho 7th February we got tho rhip ilndor way, and ap proached within a mile and a half of the town and forts and immediately opened a heavy fire on them: we fired 62 of our long double “fortified thirty-two pounders, and then stood off for Sno Son. a distance of two miles, where one of the friendly Rnjah's live.

The Rank Billvtn* passed on Tuesday—itnnw rests with the President of the United States to sign or reject it. The Land Dill has been pressed by Mr. Ciny through the Senate. It provides for tho distribu tion oftho nett proceeds of the public lands among the States, after paying over 12$ per centum to the Suites where tho lands respectively lie. This distribution is to be mado on tiio principle of fed eral representation, anil “tube applied by the Le gislature of the several States to such object* of education, internal improvement, colonization of peraons of color, or reimbursement of any exist ing doht contracted for internal improvements, at tho said Legislatures may severally designate." —We are happy to see that this bill, to suspicious in its character and so startling in its importance, was on Tuesday last Inidon the table in the House of Representatives, till ntrl session, on tho mo tion or Mr. Wilde of Georgia. Tho 3d great subject before Congress, the Ta riff hill, has htfca reported to the Senate by the committee of Manufactures, with a varioty of a- mondments, which were under discussion on Tuesday last. Few, if any of these amendments make the bill better for tho South—oue of them is said to restore the obnoxious system of mini- mums on woollens, and another to raise the duties on woollens, 3u. We hope that these win he td. tlmatuly rejected—that the bill will not be made worse—and that It will pass the Senate. The following letter shows what an important reduction'll makes*iu the revenue. It is from n gentleman at Washington, wbo is familiar with such subjects, and whose judgment is held in high respect by the people* " IPiuhwgfen, July 1,1832. "In answer to yonr letter, I sendyou a printed co py ol the Tariff as it passed the House, sad now be- tnrethe Senate. It will, with tire repeat of certain dutie-reduced in 1830, reducethedu'ies in a snm ex. needing tun millions oldollart from the tariff of 1828, and the then existing duties. The amount of duties accrued in 1829, 21.902.391 18:10, 22,(187,679 Average From which deduct l be reduction of 1639, and those proposed hy this bill Orlbe revenue from custom Add same from lend Add Bauk dividend Total estimated revenue 9H,<120,070 23.310,033 10,310.035 912.009.000 2,000,000 490,000 914,490.000 Speaking of the bill, he says: "They took it, not that they did approve it, hot because it was a reduc tion which would reduce the revenue, and better rosy hereafter be obtained. The greet complaint Is the woollens, end this only attaches to those over a cost of 35 eentstbe square yard; they gain greatly by these under that cost being only taxed Are per cent, those include ell the negro clothing end working clothes for farmers, mechanics end white laborers. The dutyoo bombaxeiu and all staff goods, Is reduc ed from 85 to JO per cent—e great advantage to every family, especially the poor end diddling elaitri.— .... ix-ductivii ot the duty on coaisir woollens nud stuff goods, Is some compensation fur the high duty imposed oo the high priced woolleos. The duly on bar iron Is reduced $22-50 the ton. In fine, the bill may serve for the present." The last Globe that we have received, assert* that tho reduction hy the bill of the House of Re prescatntive* i* only 9385.916 less than ihc.Trcav ary btU woulJ have effected—nnd that this bill wilt cut down the whole revenue nt least cloven miiliiras—of with It three millions are mi the pro tected articles uloiio. It is pledged to give a com parative statement cu this subject, derived no doubt from thn highest official sources, and wlecli weshtff lay before ourreailore i t our next. 'I’ll -Vlexituiriu Gazette soy* that tho "most import ant feature ir; that it reduce* the duties ttpou im port* very considerably--estimated by sumo to the amount of ten millions of dollars. This!* substantial relief. It is a ooinproinLc rntored in to bv members from different portions of the Oon^deracy, for the sake of harmony and Union, it did not receive tho support cither of the ultra Tariff men or the ultra Free Trade men.” It is the time uow to speak out. Tho Scnato will not improve the bill- that seem* to lie given tip on ail hands—and wo hope the House of Rep resentatives will not acquiesce in any materia! modification for tliu worse. In the 2d place, i this hill due* reduce the revenue about ten mil lion*—nnd th" whole revenue, not to exceed 14$ i.r 15 millions, this question rii.es; shall ive take these 10 millions out of tile pocket* of the pciqiie, where they should remain— in order to swell the surn'-.uiti the Treasury, where it can only do inis chief? Or shall wo give, for the present, relief to the people to that amount, and nlso deprive the Treasury of the mentis of corrupting tliem? Th : s is oue qur«tion.—And another is—shall nt- give peace to tho country and savo tho Union from danger —or, put it in tho linnds of ambitious politicians of tha ultras, the Calhoun nnd tho (flay parties to diituri) the country, nnd take the chan ce* of rising iu the storm? Nn—let us save the Union—put down this absurd doctrine of nuUifica tion—aud give peace to the country. We may dohrtter hereafter—fixing our eyes constantly up on the goal—of retrenching mid avoiding unne cessary expences. cutting down the revenue to the standard of expence, nnd of providing nn equal distribution of the burdens mid h'csstngs of the Union. The people of Virginin, so far as we can judge hy the cool and intelligent men around us. are against disnniou and nullification—and thour.h not in every respect content with the present hill, are willing to take it for the present, than “fly to evils they know not of." They make some sac rifices on the altar of their country—and they will call upon other States to do likewise.—Richmond Enqwrer.
