PROCLAMATION.
Tho President pro lem. of the Republic to the
warriors nr the Mexican army.
Soldiers: One of the events very frequent in
war litis placed in the power of the enemy to our
independence, the 'heroic conquerin' of Tampico,
the president of the republic, your general in chief,
the idol of our beans, the immortal Santa Anna.
Excited by the ardor of glory, und a vehement
dc»irf to teniiinule the cismpnigu by one blow;
his excellency escorted a petty force of tho army
which remain untouched; and this force having
been beaten by superior numbers, this illustrious
genius, whose exploits form the most brilliuqt
page of our history, has lost his own liberty in en
tteavoring to secure thut ot’Uiscountry. v~~’ ;
Our mourning Has commenced : the fatal day
of the 21st April, and since then, displays the veil-
- goanee that should prevail in oil Mexican hearts.
Soldiers, our grief is immrn»o ; hut it will not ho
useless. For the liberty of the President and for
the honor of the nation, the government will
raise nil iiosdblc resources; they will be bound*
lees; amt my desire is to employ them without
restriction; for I know my duty and will fulHl it.
Misfortune to the enemy of bur country ! The
foreign will Ufl VfUlqiiiiltHU; and the domestic ex-
emplarily punished, if imy siieli shall dure assist,
•iti thUtlncreil war of. tho country, the criminal de
sires of the Trxian rnbuls.
Friends: A momentary adversity should not
discourage the ronstatit promotion of our rights.
To you, soldier*—-you have proved the.viclssi-
tmle» of fortune, to leave to the world the remem
brance of virtue, honor and courage, and invo
king the Providmibe who rules the tlestiny of na
tions. march to avenge God, your country and

’ " The states of Son Luis, Zacatecas, Durango,
Cnahuila. Neuvfl Leon, and Tainoulipas are pre
paring to unite and iitutme the example of Texos
by declaring their independence. A pronunci
miento is lonltcd for soon. Since the capture of
Patna Amin, the opposite political party fiuaheen
xery busy, and in many instances expressed their
sdiiliuiniitsfully to that--effect.
They express much anxiety lest the Texlans
will lie persuaded to nuiKe the treaty which has
been talked of, and so let loose ngniu “the dogs of
war.” They say there can never bo uuy thing
but revolutions in the country so long us Hunta
Anna lives. And many nre the Mcxtcuns who
would think H a hissing to tho nutum ioJimvi

pntched t > Mexico with the news of 8autu Amin's

•• The question on the pussnee of the Deposits
Dill has occupied iho Seioue during the greeter
port of ihe day. After the bill find been tend a
third lime. Mr. WltiOH’r ruse, nml Commenced n
speech with such a very determined nir, tliiii ii
was generally believed he would not fiuUlj what
he had tn sny before next week. It appeared,
however, as he proceeded and handled hi* scraps
of memoranda, that they merely consisted of cal
culations, worked out to a particular result. He
said that by the returns from the Treusury on the
Gilt of June, there was in the public Treasury lit
tle to be drawn iqion. $U3,0G3,(i54. lie calculat
ed that tho Creek war would cost tile country ii-
bout eijtlit Millions; and tlinl the Cherokee Trea
ty. ami the Chipjiewn nml Olicwn, would re
quire about seveii MiUions. On the wliule, lie es
timated that there wucti! he no balance un the
first of January next, to divide, under the provis
ions df the bill. Mr. Wens run told the Senoior
that lie had in his calculation, merely consumed
what was in iho Treasury on the Oili’uf June;hut
thin lie had made no ealciilniion ofllie sums thut
would bo constantly noeiiinnlutiDK in the Treasu
ry, from the Gill of J one in the 1st uf'Januury
next; and if there should be no ballauee iu the
rreasurv In divide, why then, this hill will have
| nothing to act upon, and consequently its pus-nee
can havo no cflect, eitlier one way or the oilier.—
Mr. Cauioux made a I'oW remarks also, in reply
to Mr. WntotiT, asseriine thin it nnm lie the must
priillicalo ndiniiiisiruiiim lint ever existed, if it
should, after all it, prciomious in ccouumy, ex
pend sixty-six millions during the year, instead
nf twenty two millions,* which hail sulliccd fur
liiriner iidirtiuisiraiious. Mr. Dkntov made a
anecch, in which he brought together alt the ideas
liecuuld call to his aid, in order to enlist and con
centrate public prejudices ngainst the hill. He
remarked on tho thirst for u division of iho public
money, which he compared, in its cluiructer nml
its curccr, to tho gangrene which 'overtmis llie
physical body in the dog days, lie prcdicied Iho
ruin and overthrow of the country, unless ibis dis
ease could lie checked. The session wag near its
close, and this rage for division distracted eve
ry Senator’s utteniion from iho impoituut meas
ures which were wailing for decision. He called
ou genllennui to change the word, and Insiend of
saying‘surpluses, say 'unexpended balances;’and
lake ail, luko all, stop the liirli'fieatinnH, stop all
the public works, and divide, divide divide. He
contended iliat tlmsc who Voted fordivision would
vote against all appropriations widen would les-
sen the stun tn ho divided ; ami that therefore no
man would vole for nn appropriation which would
Imvn to lie paid put <*f the Treasury of hia_ own
SJlate. Tho States were, now to lie brought to rest
on the same point on which ihe old Confederation
loll.' He complained of this connection between
the Federal hud tho Stule Governments, ns nnom-
aim ondVuinous, nml liknly to lie productive of
any thing rather than grind. IJe suid that llie
certificates given by the .Slates would neves ho
sold, for Congross would never bo able to make
the'iippropriuiion necessary to purchase theqii so
that this would be a loan to the States iiircvcr, and
without interest. He complained that this disiri
button plan hud had mo chances, and the princi-
f nil hills wore without any chance. Hu moved to
ay (lie hill on the table, until the other bills of
imporiauee hud been acted on,-Inn withdrew his
molinii: and Mr. Itm:s made a must vigorous nml
eloquentdelciiee of thediill, in which hu hit Mr.
Bra tom very hard. The bill was debuted with
great spirit perhaps with more than lias charac
terized any debate'lieie during the present win

four of the Indians, many peaceable citizens have
left their homes and gone to Tennessee apd Ihe

much terror and coulitsiun. what would an actual

many instances, left, home and some have gone
to Tennetsee.

By S. M. Tliomas, Gun No. 2—A protection to
the fair of Columbus, may her voice contiriue to
be music to her friends and a terror to her ene
There It not a reflecting man in tbe snioa but
must rejoice iu the success of this measure. Tbe
ublic money to the amount of millions had, by
the mad policy of the President, been deposited in
batch of Pet Banks, where it wu perfectly deud
capital to tbe government. Over these bunks,
the executive exercised unlimited tway, and they
iu their turn for the boon conferred, paid him un
limited fealty. Any amount of it could, when -
occasion required, be brought to bear ojRra impor
tant eveutB, nnd arrayed in direct conflict with the
freedom of elections. Itis now tu be taken from
these sinks of corruption, and placed in Ihe vault*
of the States to be appropriated to such wise pur-
poses of moral and physicist improvement ue
they may see proper.., It strikes us that it
had much better be in these vaults, than in the
banks where itis now deposited, not only u it re
gards file purity of public men, bnt tbe absolute
safety of ihe public treasure. Van Bitreo-is now
decently done over, as bis only chance uf success
was based upon the hope, that with the punt b*
could win his way to the Presidency. Poof fel
low, his friends dune vastly wrong, in suflsfjng hi*
strung hold to pnss away nnd his only hoppfp perish
Col. .Towns, in his late speech upp^ the far-
famed Fortification Bill, has proven bgynnil all
contradiction, that at the end of a shot} lime the
Treasury will not only lie empty, but abeululely
impoverished. - Such a ’’Roulette" at figuration
would make a first rate Chancellor of Exchequer;
for of a certainty, if he can reduce fqrty or fifty
millions of dollars to worse than nothing,'by llie
sheer force, of figures, he cotfid replenish and fill
up an empty Treasury by file same tremendous
agency.
BETTER THAN USUAL.
The Bill for the regulation of the deposites, and
for the distribution of the surplus revenue among
the States,' has passed both houses of Congress by
overwhelming majorities. It provides nmong
ntlier things that nil the money remaining in
the treasury on the first day of January 1837,'ov
er and abovo five million nf dollars, shall be paid
to'the officers of the several Slates authorized to
rcceiveit, in the ratio of their joint representation
in flic Senttto nnd House of Representatives, and
that the Secretary of the treasury, upon its pay
ment,shall receive a certificate of the amount, ex-
.pressing the obligation nf the States to refund the
money to the United States, after due notice giv
en.
We confess that xvc have been agreeably disap
pointed in the enactment of ibis xvise and benefi
eial law. A vast majority of the. people, we
were nwdro, demanded its passage; but whether
the faithful followers of ihe Prince of Kimlerhonk
could be driven bv tho wishes of the community
to abandon the "pet Bank policy" of their idol,
xvas a question upon which the most sanguine
might well have doubled. They have been driv
en however, after a complete and dtsgriceful fail
ure of the'igrcat experiment," to how to the wish
esofthe people, and consult their own safety , in
the passage of tho Bill. Whai a sad alternative
was presented to them. Van Buren wauled the
money to squander in electioneering schemes, his
friends desired him to keep it, but the people were
determined it simutd he appropriated to a better-
purpose. It was a hard and painful trial, between
their JuVuIhui to their master, end n compliance
with tho jnst demands of the states. The threats
or the Globe, .the prayers of the Albany Aigns. the
lachrymose weepirig of old ftttlier,Ritchie. were of
no avail; the Bill pas-i * and till country has once
more triumphed over "the party."
CREEK WAR.
Itjeeems to be the prevailing opinion'that ih*
difficulty with the-lmiians will soon be brought to
a close, and that tha gallant stray now in the field,
or a large portion of it, will shortly be diecharged.
We sincerely trust these things may be so. No
one can desire more than ourselves.a restoration
of peace, and the discharge of nut friends from ah
atduous service, yet we are wholly unable tocon-
jecture at what time either event will lake piace,
consistent with the interest-of all parlies concern
ed. The hnstiles have been awed into temporary
submission by the armies of Alabama and Geor
gia, but how long they will keep the peace in tha
event the. whole nf these armies are disbanded, i*
matter nf doubt. A great number- of those who
have pretended to be friendly ate averse’ to emi
gration, und probably will not go unlete they ere
compelled. What course this portion may pur
sue hereafter no one enn tell. They may assume
a hostile altitude, and joined by the former mis
chief makers who have escaped and are now a-
tnoiig them, may renew their' tnurderou* conduct
and do further deeds of death. We would ant dic
tate to those in authority, but it would eeemtoba
the part of prudence to have an eye upon such
nu event. Indians, to say the must for them,
whether pretended friends or real ioes, ere very
uncertain in their movements, and cannot b*
watched with too much cauiion. --
Ou Saturday last, about twelve hundred .nf
these deluded beings, including'some four hundred,
warriors, who'have surrendered or bieii taken
prisoners, left, Fort Mitchell for Arkansas, many
of them in chains, and all guarded by a detach
ment of United States soldiers; They wiljtgo by
land to Montgomery, where they will take" ship- •
ping for their destined homes. Previous to their
departure, several of them, who were known to
have committed -high crimes agbinsl the state of
Gerirgia, were. de.inauded by Gov. Schley, and
nre how in the jail of this county. Among them
we recognize llie notorious Drive Hardredge, who
was at the destruction of Roanoke, and is said to
have planned and led the expedition against that
place.
Jim Henry, a villain, more conspicuous then
any other in the nation throughout the war, has
surrendered to the Alabama forces, and will, it ii
hoped, meet the reward of his murderous conduct. •
A demand was sent tn Gen.Jesup, by the Execu
tive, for him to be delivered up, which was au-
swered, as will be seen in another place, that Ita
•hud already been surrendered upon a similar de
mand tothe civil authorities of Alabama.
Tlte report thut the Indians in considerable bo
dy have murdered several families in the county
of Baker, we ore sorry, to say, has been confirmed.
By a gentleman residing in Lee, near tlie scene
of .these outrages, we hove been informed'that
thirteen persons have becu killed and three others
badly wounded, names not now recollected.—
The Indians are evidently endeavoring to escape
to Florida, there to join the Seminole*. Col.
Beal, with his gallant detachment, have pushed
in hot pursuit of them, rind brought them to e ha It
in the cxtensiveSwatripsoffiie Chickesawliatcltee
creek, after killing nine or ten in an engagement
belbre they took shelter iti!the swamp. E
An express has arriyed front Col. Beall for as
sistance to drive the Indians from their position,
his present command being loo small to force them-
from tlte thickets and prevent their escape. The
battalion of Volunteers from this city, composed
of the Artillery, Guards, and Cadet Riflemen,
have been ordered to march forthwith, and left
here on yesterday to reinforce Col. Beall. These
boys, whatever the envious or malignant have '
said tothe contrary, have always been ready for
auy kind of service, doing their part during the,
war, and uA now gone on llie most arduous duly
that has been performed since the campaign corns
menced. God grant that Iheymay srrivelntlme,
to aid the detachment first sent down, in beating
the enemy to perfect eubjeciion, and all return
together to their friends, and families, and kind-,
reds and homos. If our prayers nnd good withes
can aid them aught on their march, or ip the
fignt, they have them from the bottom of our
hearts.
Tho body of the army hove, since they crossed
nt Roanoak, been busily on the match, searching
for tlie enemy nnd scouring every swamp, im- .
mediately west and south west of that place, for
fifteen or twenty miles. But few Indians could
be found, llie most of them in that section having
previously surrendered, escaped to Florida, or
moved fnrther westward. Geuls. Patterson and
Jessup are still between here and Tuskegee, with
their forces from Alabama, where the Indians ere
occasionally coming iu and giving up.
By reference to the following correspondence,
the community will receive authentic information
of the Executive, in bringing thenffendere against
our laws to justice. All the Indians that have
been iileiiliticd, he has demanded, and we have
no doubt he will continue to demand each as can
be rccostlized and pointed out ns criminals.
