Tho public mind was thrown into ii good deal
of oxcitemeut yesterday, in coiiseqtieuec of a re
commendation ol' tlm Editor of llie Courier &
Enquirer, for tho public uf repuir to the Park
Theutre, to put down Mr. Wood. It appears a
Newspaper (juurrel Imd arisen botwoon.tlto Edi
tor and the Actor, and it being tile benefit nigh
of the latter, the former was determined to put
him down: Handbills were put forth ia tho pub
lic sttcpls, culling on the friends of Mr. Weed to
come forth nud sustain nun—it wus therefore ? v "
idem that tlie city wus tu be disgraced by a Riot.
Accordingly' an huur or two before the Theutre
opened, crowds began to assemble around-the
Park, and as soou as the doors were opened, 'llm
House was crowded from the Pit to the Gallery—
parties were duly arrayed against each other, aud
for u'u hour before the curtain rose, it was—"three
citt-ers tor Webb," end "three cheers lor Wood,"
groans for Webb and gruuus lor Wood ; and for
u lull hour and a half, cat calls, cheers, groans
and ull sorts of noises were kopt up; so.much so,
that it was a perfect Babel. The managers, it
appeared, hud determined to goon with the piece.
Thecurlaui rose, mid tho fust secuo of the chorus
singers was got tbhiugh with, when Mrs. Wood
appeared, and there wore Cheers from ail parts of
the house, mingled with hisses. She was so o-
voicomo with fright and terror, that liervoleo en
tirely failed ; lier. Mr. Wqod soon appeared, nnd
this vyus the signal for thu beginning of tlm real
row. The’joheera and hisses were tirodigidus,—
As for acting, however, il was out of tho question;
all soils of missiles were thrown on the stage—a
cent struck Mrs. VVouil m tlm face, and a piece of
a bench, six Teut lung, was thrown from the second
tier, which Wood fortunately caught. 'The nct-
orsstuod in dumb show until they woreqielted oil'
—crowds ruklied from the Pif ou the Stage. *
Mr. Simpson and Mr. Placido, attempted to
epeak, grid made all sorts af signs, but it was as
much impossiblo to hoar a voice, as it would be,
ueut the Falls of Niugara. The from doom of
Urn-house were soon forced .and the crowd outside
rushed in. The Manugcr changed the plqy : ac

wus all paitluiulne—the aitempt was given up as
liupeless. The Mayor, with Alderman Taylur,
Benson, Whitehead, nud several others, attempt

casional crash of benches, but on the whole, there
wns less destruction of property lima would have

MIDNIGHT SES8I INS AGAIN.
I sent oil'my letter last ni lit in great haste, on
account of the impossibility of transmitting it at
such nn hour as would erii ,)e me to give your
readers any tiling like n conplete record of the
evening’s proceedings in the louse, which was ip
session when 1 closed, and ' hich continued “ in
full tdasi” until half past 12 'clock, midnight.
There had been manitest, I, and indeed speci
fically declared, a deierinim ion to carry the For
tification Bill, pending in Committee of the
Whole for seine time, thro gh that Committee,
on yesterday: and us 6ev rnl ■ gentlemen had
something to say upon it, are as the Bill had been,
by common Consent, madelhc topic of political
discussion, involving an analVsis and commenta
ry uptm the whole iinaneinl [jtdicy. of the Admin-
isirmiun, tlm debate became, considerably pro
tracted, and extended to a late hour : n the eve-
mug. 1
After my letter was closed, Mr. Jenifer, ol Ma
ryland, made some-very mica-sing and pungent
remarks upon tlm manner in '
bills had been brought forward
Committee by llio friends of th
nml upon Ihu" cllims that wen
made to gull llm people with
most important measure, (the d
ceeds, of the public lands, acco ding to ihe L'nhd
Hill passed in the Senate,) wa injurious ill their
interests. Hu also went at !ai;e into tho vieW6
entertained by the people of h i own Stale, (Ma-*
rylnnd) upon tiiis subject, am coniinemcd upon
tlm ninimer iii which a collengi j of his, (Thomus)
hud disregarded tlm declared visiles oft lie people
of that Slate, os expressed by their General As-
nembly, in relation to this nportant question.
This brought up Thomas, ant un altercation, as
to tho exleitt to whicti such nn xprcsslon of senti
ment on (he part of the Lvgisl; lure, was lo be tar
ken ns an exponent of the. p pulfir will, arose,
and was carried on with mucl energy, and with
’no grout gain to the democratic character and rep
utation of Thomas. -
■ It was now about nine o'clo :k, and the time of
the Committee had been p incipaliy occupied
with that kind of general discu sion, arising out of
it, and incidental to the suh cct in hum!, rather
than to the subject matter of lie Bill itself. At
this point, a member proposed koine amendments,
which were discussed awhile, ami disposed af,
mul it was then,, at that late hour, that Mr. Ca'iu-
breleng, Chairman of the Cimimiiteo of. Ways
and Means, nlso in'Ilis place, aud proposed sun
dry amendments to »hc Army and Fortification
Bills, then in ihe Cmiirnilteii of tlm Whole,,tt-
mounting, altogether, to nearly TimEE'MiLLioMS
of DiiLLAns, extra. And the wliolo force of
"llm pariy" was inyokod to carry!these mofi-
otrous propositions 'tiirougii,i.by tnero Ouimtil
force ! Estimates from 'departments, 1 letters, from
officials, &c. were introduced, as voijeliers for the
necessity of the extra appropriations, and all went
on swimmingly until Hawes, of Kentucky, re
belled against tho monstrous .propositions of tlm
prflfiigine party to which bo was silachcd. He
swore offi and wuuld have nothing la do with the
drill to which the faithful forces wire subjected.
Parker, of Now-Jersey, also rebelled; anil claimed
a fair, full, free, open undersiamling, day light dis
cussion of these uew and euormotis appropria
tions. T
■ Wise, of Virginia, Everett, of'Vermont, Lin-
cola, of ^Massachusetts, and others, also took
ground ugninsf thu indeceut haste with which
throe millions of extra n’pproptiaiions were -at
tempted io bo shnffied through" the Committee.
They claimed the, right of a fair discussion of ev
ery proposed amendment, in Committee of, the
Whole, us the proper place; and protested against
tho atiempi to get them through that night,
But the fiat had gone forth. The Bills must
he reported to the House before adjournment.
Not dreuming that amendments so preposterous
would be brouclied by Cambrolcng and sustained
by his crew, at sueli an hour of the nigh), ninny
uf llm Opposition hud left the Hull, aud were,
doubtless dreaming of something else on their
pillows. This was tho liino lor Cam.-. Im loves
liiglit work; and " the party” (I mean llie light
est cultured of them,) were drilled to dp ti;eir parts.
But there was, at times, no quorum, aud this
“hoihcrcd the beauties." Many efforts tyero
made to get a quorum, (121) but in vain, until
(D.utcu J. Penreo Uelug one of tho tellers,'to as
certain the number of persons present,) there wns
discovered to be just 122 members in the Halt!
But it wus obvious tliut tlm Bills would bo report-
ed llmt nigln, and. tho Opposition;-le«bt«~a4 it
was in comparison with llm drilled cohorts of
Cainbreleng. (what must tho led be, whose lead
er isa Cambrolcng?) at length yielded, and the
Bills went through the Committee, upon -tbe
simple understanding that every amendment
should huve a fair discussion in the House.
The Committee rose, und the House adjourned
at half past 12 o’clock midnight.

The above rapid account of a scoae,’the details

this letter than I can spare, will give your readers
some idea of tho mode iu wliieh this Governnmiit
is at present udministered by the profligate crew

could bring them all bodily into the halls of .legis

in which limy are governed! This would secure

This morning, Mr. Uobertsou, uf Virginia, fin
ished his speech on the Pinckney Resolutions,
uud the previous question wus immediately mov
ed. Mr. Adaius expressed a wish to speuk on thq
subject, but was denied tho liberty. The main
question was put nn tho several Resolutions pro,
posed by ihoCommiueo, singly, and on the first,
that Congress has no right to legislate on the sub
ject uf slavery ia dm States. Mr. Adams again
asked for only five minutes, to prove this proposi
tion to bo utterly falsa: the"P. Q." however, was
destined to hnveits way. Thou a question arose
on tlm refusul of Messrs. Glasscuck, Pickens,
Thompson, Robertson and Wise, to vote on this
questiun at nil,—nnd pending the point ns to
whether they had a right to refuse, without as
signing .special rcasuns, the House went into

APALACHICOLA, May 14.
The new steamer, Henry Crowell, lately built
ntthe Old Agency, on Flint river, Crawford jno.
Gu. arrived here on Thursday evening last—it be
ing her first trip. She has been built under the
direction of that enterprising individual, James R.
Butts, Eeq. of Macon, and is intended as a regu
lar trader on the waters of tho Flint liver. The
Flint river has snldom been lower at this season
uf the year, than it is ht the present ; yet the
Henry Crowell left the Old Agency on the 4th,
and made the trip in 36 running hours, and found
no scarcity of water, at any paint; the only Ob
struction to. a free navigation being sunken logs
and loose rocks, above Danville, which might be
removed at a trifling expense. Indeed, we have
been assured hy Captains Blair and Holtaud,
vyitli whom wo conversed on tho subject, and who
tiro both practically, acquainted with the naviga
tion of tip: OciBillgeo river, that the Flint is de
cidedly superior, lias morn water, fewer short
turns," nnd may be navigated with'steamboats
with less danger and delay. Thera is no doubt
of its beiug susceptible of eteamboat navigation up
as fares the Old Agency. This river raps through
a portion of the richest cotton lands iu Georgia;
and if a direct trade can be upenetl between this
interesting section and Apalachicola, it will prove
of incalculable advantage to the commerceofthis
place, as well os tho agricultural interesls of tho
country. ,lt will,add 59,000 bales per annum to
our cotton receipts—it will add 82,000,000 to the
value of real estate on tho river—it will odd in un
told numbers to tho nmouct of population,. and it
will uourish into prosperous existence, cities nnd
towns on the river, which arc yet unknown to
name.
Feeling confident of these fncts, ton much cred
it ennuut be given to the persevering efforts of that
distinguished citizen of Georgia, Capt.: Henry
Crowell, who has so long struggled in this impor
tant enterprise.
We understand that Capt. Bulls, the skilful
nnd emerprisiug builder of 'the bout, has another
nearly complttefl at tjia Old’Agency, and also
two tow boats, ready logo in to.the water.
The boats are constructed upon a principle new
to the waters of the Southern rivers, nnd are .cal
culated to,navigate them when other boats are
forced to stop for want of water. They ore .of an
easy draft, and are propelled by one wheel io
the stern. The machinery is of sufficient, power
to propel them through thu rapids' with enso and
safety, towing two barges.—Gazette.

No movement of the main body of the troops
has yet taken place. Arms and ammunition arc
ns necessary in war as men. So soon as these
can be obtained, it is believed the army will take
up the line of march in order to subduo the Indi
ans. Measures have been taken to prevept the
hostilos from escaping to Florida through the thin
ly settled part of Georgia, which they will no
iloabt attempt. Tho troops leave their present en
campment this morning, and will be stationed,
nbnnt three miles below here in Alabama.
Several skirmishes have taken place down the
riv8r since our last. On Friday, a company un
der the direction , of Copt. Brown, consisting of
parte of Capts. Broum's, McCrary's nnd Carr's
commands, discovered a considerable number of
Indians'attempting to cross the^river. The whites
fired upon them nnd killed in the engagement,
fouepr five. One of Capt. Brown’s company,
’from Crawford, by the name of Crasland, was
killed. The whites sustained’'no ether loss.
'■}! An attack wns made on the Steam Boat Meta
morn on Saturday last-whilsl ascending the river,
which proved rather a had pick up to the. assail
ants. Among other articles the cargo consisted
of about one hundred end fifty men who wore not
very particular whether they were attacked or not,
and whose object was to do their country some ser
vice. These bnys returned the fire ivitb spirit, us
long as nn enemy wus in view. The following
particulars of tho fight have been furnished its by
the officers in command ofthc. expedition'.
On Saturday, an attack was made on the Stea.
rricr ijlotamora,. Loyd Capt. which at that time
contained the following companies, viz : Capt.
Booth's company, Piko Guards, from Ala., Capt.
Adair's company of Randolph Blues, and Capt.
Snelgrovc's company from Randolph Co. Ga.—
In consequence of tho Indians having made fre
quent attacks on tho Beats passing up aud dawn
the River, these troops, who were at that time
in Irwinton. determined to pass up, in order to ob
tain n brush with them—the entire companies
were not ordered on - this duty; but those who
came, volunteered their services for the, purpose.
The Pike Guards are amounted company, but so
strong was their belief that the boat would be. at
tacked, that they left their horses in Irwinton, to
which place they returned on Wendesday. These
troops were marched on board the boat about two
o'clock on Saturday morning, during a heavy
rain, to the amount in numbers, of about one huh-
drcdWl fifty men. One third of the Georgia
troops at least were without either arms or am
munition. The boat got under way from Irwin-
ton about day. light the same morning, anti passed
on without interruption, about five miles above
Ronhoke; when a fire was opened upon her from
tho Alabama side df the River. Tho firing wns
-worm and lasted abont ten minutes. It was re
turned with equal warmth and spirit from the
boat; and the boat as soon as practicable run a-
shore, when the troops embarked and formed up;
on the bluff above. After the boot landed, the
firing ceased; it was then determined to march
back io the place where wo were, first assailed
nnd drivo back the Indians; but il was found
that the Creek would have to be passed before
the enemy could be come up'with. To pass
this Creek, covered-as it wa9 with thick, under-
growths, was deemed to bo imprudent. The
l'roops Were accordingly again embarked, and
the hoot ogain got under way. In this attack, a
man by the name of Samuel Butler, belonging to
the Pike Guards,and one of the boat hands, (name
unknown,) were severely wounded. The num
ber of Indians killed fans not been ascertained
with any certainty, but it is believed °they lost at
least eight, who were seen to fall. Report says
that fourteen dead bodies were found at the place
of the attack. Some five miles above, the boat
was again attacked nnd d running fire kept up
for several miles. The Indians in this attack
did not appear to be numerous at any one place,
but oqly showed one or two at a lime, when they
were immediately fired upon; from the boat. It is
believed that more damage was done the Indians
in this attack, than in the forme*; One man
Bdnj. Owens, ofthePike Guards, waswotlnded—
it is feared mortally, in this engagement. He
was shot whilst standing -in-the after part of ihe
boat, aft of the ladies cabin. After this engage
ment, the boat n)el with no further interruption,
until she arrived at this place, which she did a-
bout 12 o'clock, Sunday. ' Tho wounded have
been removed from the Boat, to a comfortable
room, and every attention necessary, has been
paid them.
Capt. Buoth, ia behalfofhimself, and the com-
pbtiy he commands, has desired qs to return to
the citizene of Columbus, his warmest thanks for
the attention bestowed by them, and particularly
the ladies, upon his wounded.
Since the attack on the Mctamora, as related a-
bave, several other Steam: Boats have ascended
tho riverwithout interruption, which induces us to
think that the gallant affair of Saturday will
make tho savages a littlo more T cantioiis.
Keah Micco, the bead Chief of the Nation, has
not yet come in, and will, it is supposed, in- the
last resort, together with his men, be hostile.' He
hns pretended all along to be frioadly, but his re
fusing to como in, when requested by the com
mander, is a bad sign, which added to others, no
less indicative of his ultimate intentions, is suffi
cient to put the whiles on their guard ngainsthifti.
Since our last: publication,-company after
company, of citizen soldiers, have passed through
this place and joined the encampment beyond the
river. ^Fromc every'section of the State, the free-
men of Georgia have hurried to tho respective
places of rendezvous, with a spirit and promptness
hitherto unparalleled in the military history ufthe
country. The call ofthc executive scents to have
been drowned in tho louder appeals of suffering
humanity, and thousands, far distant from the
scene of danger, have come to meet and repel it r
regardless of theirea9s, convenience, aiid personal
comfort. Wc are not apprised that the people of
Georgia have ever been accused of a want of pat
riotism or public spirit, and surely if they have,
their conduct iu this affair is sufficient to vindi
cate their character from so false and foul im' im
putation.
Then arc those we know, who are disposed to*
underrate the difficulties and dangers that awaie
tho npproachiog conflict. Such men. we are per
suaded, have but slight information upoit (be sub
ject, and may, from ignorance or somo less wor
thy motive, be disposed to detract from the praise-
so justly due lo those who have been drafted or
volunteered in ihe present service, and who haver
repaired without hesitation, to the standard of
thetr country. Some of our brother editors at a
distance, have squinted closely nt conduct like
this, and have insinuated that the wnr has been
gotten up in order to squander a portion of the
public mcney atnong the Southern people; Tt is-
nnswer enough ft an insinuation so nearly akint
to wilful calumny, to say that the South is,nriY
poor for the public treasure, and although a good
ly portion ofit has been filched from her citizens
by a specious system of legalized robbery,'devised
by those who now so ungenerously taunt: her in
the hour of her difficulties, yet site would sepra-
to receive a dollar ofit back, except in. return .for
well meant nnd well performed services. - Will
any Of these slanderers pretend to say.' that the-
wenllhyi-or those in more moderate eircii.mstiiiices,
in life, would, abandon their busihbss at homoi^nd
quitting their families, .endure tho hardships and
privations of the camp,.for tho pitiful reward; in
otottey,which the government will bestowT Tho
idea is Joo ridiculous for refutation. The. patrio
tism whiuh has prompted the citizens ofthe South
to come forth, by' thousands, to meef tite enemy,
is hosed upon no such selfish and sordid founda
tion. It has been aroused by the cries of helpless
children, by the shrieks of murdered moihbrt.'hy
'the desolation which has followed ihe track of iho
savage. This patriotism will look for itsVciward
-not to the coffers uf the government, but to llia
gratitude of those who have already sqffe.lqgjjjrttuiF
might still more severely suffer.,'but-for ks linijely
awakening. No matter whether tlie war, 1 then,
has been excited by iho selfish views af private, or
the extreme bad policy of public men. tho dknger
and tue devastation is the same, and Ihe gallant
spirits which shall arrest this danger and stbp’jho
wide spread ruin of the enemy, shall uot and
will not be forgotten; by a greatful country., As
far" ns Georgia is concerned, her chivalrous sons
have given, nnd are still giving ample proof,' thot
tile murder of helpless women and children shall
not go unrevenged. It makes us proud, that we
are citizens of such a sia te, and fellow citizen*
with those, whose bravo hearts .and strong arms
are the bulwark of defence.
Four thousand of her brave sons, the flower
uf Georgia’s chivalry, are already in the field and
on the march lo the frontier. They expect, &*will
probably find, no children’sqilay. What maUers
it to them? T hey have como to fight and ■ end
the difficulty which' it seems nothing else can set
tle. Every heart is with them, and every feeliog
will mingle with theirs hi tho day and hourof trial.
We ore informed by a gentlemen, JuRtfrom tho
spot, that Mr. Berry Edwards, formerly of Thibet
county, was murdered hy the Indians,on Tuesday
evening, about 20 miles north west of this placo.
Several guns were heard to fire, aiid another gen
tleman, wjto was at the house of Mr. Edwards] is
supposed,to have been killed also, aB he-, has not
since been heard of. It will be some cnnsuljjilun
to the numerous friends of Mr. E. to hear that
his neighbors went to his house arid buried him.

Il.we had no better reason, it is absotatdlyjfXo
warm to dive deep in politics. The thing is bad
enough', in good Cool, comfortable wenthet i but
when we have been drenched for a month itVin
cessant rains, and dried for days with;on.almost
tropical sun, it becomes' perfectly outrageous to
think of, much less Ip .write seriously abuut. ,We
have, however, a better reason for keeping tlio
peace, for d season, with our political adversaries.
A War of no ordinary character, is just ot out
doors; a savage foe, aonfetimes in view ol bur ci
ty. has committed and is still continuing the,molt
horrid outrages; nten of all parties and all polittr
cal sentiments have rallied to the slandurd of the
country, determiaed to punish the insolence bf
the marauding and murdering savages;, and it ill
becomes us, at such a time, and uiulcr scch cir
cumstances, to arouse-unpleasant feelings in tits
bosoms of any. The man that would do it, i« no
friend to the best interests bf the country, and
ougjit, in the military phrase, to be "drummed
out of camps.” The cause demands unity Of ac
tion nnd friendly feelings among-citizens and sol
diers. When the difficulty is settled and peaea
restored, when the battle is won and our bravo-
countrymen return tn their homes, and wives, arid
children, and kindred,, it will he; time enough to>
drink or the bitter waters of party spirit, ptjd min
gle regain in the arena of political strife^ ' Until
then, lot these things be forgotten, and let us re
member that we are all Americans and of on*
party, as relates to the war with the Creeps-.
We sincerely.regret that our neighbors, of (hq
Sentinel, have occasionally, during the prese’nt
excitement, remarked,upon the conduct and char
acter of d portion of their immediate Townsmen,
in terms calculated to create and keep alive,pro-,
judices against the place. The rich tbey have,
represented as avoiding.the fatigues and’dutiesbf
the soidicr, in times of contemplated dartgei, and
flinging the labor and privations of guard duty,
iso. upon the poor, Now the world is ready
enough to make insinuations of this kind, without
being aided ahd strengthened by those among us,
and who shouid say nothing that would make girt
friends ia atjjniuing counties hesitate la coin* ,
forth to our assistance, if that assistance shall ev
er be necessary. ■ We are not the apologist* ol the
