P7.ESIDSM T HA IUt ISON’S INAUGURAL.
This great Expose of modem VVhiggery is
now betore „the American people. From a
histy perusal, it appears that its prominent
eatures are the Sub-Treasury, the Vctopow
er, and Abolition. The oilier parts of the In
augural are mere general express ions of devo
tion to the Constitution, which may he con
strued to mean anything or nothing, as party
expediency or dominaru-y may require. There
is, of course, a decided expression of opposition
to the Nub- Treasury, which is rated in no very
gentle terms, and, certainly, with no very
courteous or digmtied allusions to tiie subject
of the Currency, as contemplated by hrs two
immediate predecessors : as tli s, however, is
characteristic of hard cider quality, let it pass
lor what it is worth—yet, I may say in pass
ing, it. is by no means in keeping with that
suaviter in modo which should distinguish the
official hearing of one gentleman towards an
other. The views taken of the Vc'o power,
as they are made applicable to no specific or
tangible case, may lie clawed wi'li the burden
ol the Inaugural, under the head of the gen
eral professions already alluded to, or, ranked
with the Delphic ambiguities of a Diplomatist,
drilled in the school of Machiavel. But, „ n the
most absorbing subject of iu'erest. to the South
—I mean Abolitionism—the Inaugural is'much
more definite. I quote every word he says.
Hear it:
“ 1 have spoken of the nccc-sity of keeping
the respective Departments of the Government
as well as all the other authorities of our coun
try, within i heir appropriate orbits. This is a J
matter of difficulty m some cases, as the powers ,
which they respectively claim are often notde-!
lined by very distinct lines. Mischievous,
however, in their tendencies, as coll sions ol .
this kind may be, those which arise between
the respective communities, which for certain
purposes compose one nation, are much more j
so; for no such nation can long exist without
the carelul culture ol those feelings of confi
dence ami aliection which are the effective j
bonds ol union between tree and confedera
ted states. Strong as is the tie of interest, it j
has teen often found ineffectual. Men blin
ded by their passions, have been known to a-1
dnpt measures torthe r country in direct oppo
sition to all the suggestions of policy. The
alternative then, is, to destroy or keep a bad j
passion by creating and fostering a good one;
and this seems to be the corner s'onc upon i
which our American political architects have
reared the fabric of our Government.
“ 1 lie cement which was to hind it, and
perpetuate its existence, was the affectiona'e
attachment between all its members, ‘i’o in
sure the continuance of this feeling, produced
at first, by a community of dangers, of su fieri ngs
and ol interests, the advantages of each w ere
made accessible to all. No participation in
any good, possessed by any me mber of an ex
tensive confederacy except in domestic govern
ment, was withheld from the citizen of any oili
er member. By a process attended witii no
dilficully, no delay, no expense but that of re
moval, the citizen <>t one might become the cit
izen ot any other, and sue essively of the whole.
The lines, too, sop ir.it.ng powers to be exor
cised by the citizens of one state from those of
another, seem to be eodisti ictly drawn as to
leave no room for misunderstanding. The cit
izens of each state unite in their person all the
privileges which that, character confers, and
all that they may claim as c tizens of the Uni
ted States; but in no case can the same per
son, at the same time, act as the citizen of two
separate states, and lie is therefore p isitivoly
precluded from any interference with the re
served powers of any Mate hut that of which he
is, for the time being, a ci’jzen. He may in
deed offer to the citizens of other states h.s ad
vice as to their management and the form in
which it is tendered, is left to Ins own discre
tion and sense ol propriety.
“ It may he observed, however, that organ
ized associations of citizens, requiring couipli j
auce with their wishes, too much resemble the :
recommendations of Athens to her allies—l
supported by au armed and powerful licet, it
was, indeed, to the ambition cf ti.o leading
state of Gre ce to contr 1 the domes', c con
cerns of the othc s, that the (testrue i u M.
that celebrated confederacy, and subsequently
of ail its members, is mainly to bo attributed.
And it is owing to the absence of that spirt
that the Helvetic confederacy lea) been lor so
in tny years preserved. Never had there been
seen in the institutions ol the separate mem
ber of any confederacy more elements oidis; ord.
In the principles and forms ot government and
religon a j well as in the circumstances of the
several cantons, so marked a discrepance was
observable as to promise any tiling but harmo
ny m their intercourse, or permanency in their
alliance. And yet, for ages neither lias been
interrupted. Content With the positive bene
fits which their union produced, with the inde
pendence and safety from foreign aggression
which it secured, these sagacious people lex
pected the institutions of each other, however
repugnant to their own principles and preju
dices.
“ Our confederacy, fellow-citizen?, can only
be preserved by the same forbearance. Our
citizens must be content with the exercise of
the powers with which the constitution clothes
them. The attempt of those of one state to
control the domes ic institutions of another cm
o ily result in ieel.ngs of di-trust & jealousy,
the cert iiu ha;b liters of disunion, violence,
civil war, and the ultimate destruction of our
free i sa. utions. Our confederacy is p r e tly
illustrated by the terms and principle s govern
ing a common co-partnership. There a tund
of power is to be exercised under the direction
of the joint council of tire a lied members,
but that which has been reserved by the indi
vidual members is intangible by the common
government, or the individual members Cos n
posing it- To attempt it finds no support in the
principles of our constitution. It should be
our constant and earnest endeavor mutually
to cultivate a spirit, of concord and harmony
among the various parts of our confederacy.
Experience has abundantly taught us that the
agitation by citizens of one part ot the Union,
of a subject not confided to the General Gov
ernment, exclusively under the guardianship
of the local authorities, is productive of no oth
er consequences than bitterness, alienation,
discord, and injury to the very cause which is
intended to be advanced. Os all the great in- j
terests which appertain to our country, that of
union, cordial, confiding, fraternal union, is far
the most important, since it is the only true and
sure guaranty of all others.”
Now, let us see how and where the Inau
gural repudiates Abolitionism, or rebukes tiie
Abolitionist. It says, what it requires no ghost
from the grave to tel! us, that “in no case can
the same person, [pipe-layers execptviK it is
presumed,] at the same time, act as the citizen
of two separate Stales, and he is therefore
positively precluded from any interference
with the reserved powers ol any State but that
of which he is, for the time being, a
Very true, and vastly logical—it proves, co.i
clusivelv, that A. is “positively precluded”
from interfering with the rights of B.; inas
much as, par example, A. has no right to con
vey or kidnap a negro from Bd But, notwith
standing this profound discovery in the con
stitutional law of principles, our Irgh authority
(the Inaugural) immediately after pronounc
ing it, says, tha% nevertheless, “lie” (A., or
the Abolitionist,) “may indeed oiler to the citi
zens ot otucr States his advice as to their tncin
agemeiu, ('.he management of the reserved
powers, or, which is the same, their slaves)
“and the form in which it is tendered” [mark
this] “is le,t to his own discretion and sense of
Propriety ! Here then, in one and the same
breath, the Inaugural contradicts (seif bv
teH.ng us that the Abolidonist of another

i :sts may advise the people of Georgia to abol-
I ish slavery, and say to them, if they and not
pursue their advice the consequences w: l he
J disastrous and terrible—and, also, the Aboli-
I tionists, to give more potency to their adder,
j and for the purpose of effecting the object
j which “ lays so near their heart,” may send
] orlc ding a gen's to Georgia to commune with •
J master and man, with the philanthropic interi
i tion of convincing them of the great and glo
! rious advantages which would result from tiie
i emancipation of the latter! All this, the ln
| augural inferentially says, the Abolitionists!
I may do—for, it is contended, that the form in j
j which the ad dee of the Abolitionist is tendered ,
j is left to his own discretion and sense tfpropri- i
’ ly. fi this is not an inter erence, and a pal- j
jpaftle one too, m our reserved and vested I
1 rights, there is an end to the meaning of words.
Heaven defood ks from the discretion and
propriety of the sou l fiend of Abolition! But,
! is not tics fearful language for a President of
; the United States to use, and does it not indi
-1 cate a truly alarming state of things 1
It is trm?, the Inaugural says, that “the at
j tempt of” citizens “of on? State to control the
domestic institutions of another, can only re
sult in feelings of distrust and jealousy, the
i certain harbingers of disunion, violence, civil
; war, and the ui.ornate destruction of our free
; institutions.” This is all very true, end the In
! augural here comes to a correct conclusion —
hut, why confound and contradict itself by
: permitting an aj.dsary interference, and salv
i mg over its opposition to the Lower School
. mode of Abolitionism, by s tying to itsadvoca es
i that the course they are pursuing is an “Injury
to the eery rouse which is intended to be ad
vanced /’ To me, the reason is self-evident—
i because President Harrison very naturally
prefers his own mode of Abolitionism to that
of any other; which motlr’ promises to effect
the emancipation of our slaves, by first cut ing
down the Constitution to suit the case, and
then appropriating the surplus revenue of the
Goner . 1 Government to consummate the ob
ject—for proof of this, see his Vincennes and
Cheviot speeches, and more recent documents.
What now have we of the South, to hope
from the great interests which the new Adm n
te ration embodies! Nothing but what will
forcibly tend to the utter annihilation of a con
stitutional guaranty, which secures to us, at
present, the possession ol one of our most im
portant, if not most important right we enjoy.
At the head of our Governmen - we have now r
an avowed Abolitionist. Not a Tappan Abo
litionist, a Slade Abolitionist, or a Garrison
Abolitionist—but an Abolitionist in the true
and philosafikical sense of the word—an Abo
litionist of the High Ncool, who has, in his
official capacity of President of the United
States, rebuked the ultra or Low School Abo
litionists, tor what ! Not for the principle for
which they contend, but for their over-zealous
and indiscreet action in carrying out and en
forcing that principle. To indicate llie course
of a policy which lie has systematise !—a poli
cy which is “near to his heart,” lie has sur
rounded his Administration with congenial
spirits. Immediately on his right, lie has
placed his confidential Secretary, Mr. Web
ster, whose ediu aion, habits, and publicly
avowed op mom, maugre Ins unmeaning and
ambiguous disclaimer at Richmond, are well
calculated to place him before a Southern
community as the magnus Apollo of Aboli
tionism. it is already before the people, that
the Secretary holds the opinion, and lias so
expressed it, “that Congress may pass laws to
prevent the transfer of slaves from one Sta'e
or ‘Terr.lory to another”—a doctrine which, if
established, must inevitably prove fatal to the
peculiar interests of the Soul h. But, it would
seem, that it was not alone necessary to guard
tiie political avenue which led to tiie Presi
dency with a discreet, a constitutional, a phi
losophical and gigantic Abolitionist, but, to
‘ .Make assurance (t iibtv sure,
Amt take a boiiil offaie,”
[ t he General Post Office was to he made, as it
in nv is, a common highway to Abolitionism,
miller iho special guardianship of a gentleman
who voted against a resolution declaring mat
ongress ought, net to interfere in any way
with slavery m the Distr.et of Columbia. In
deed, if Mr. Granger had any qualms of con
science in aiding the Aboi.Lou sts to carry on
their w.ir against the Sou li through the chan
i neis ol iiis i)e. artment, h.s misgivings would
j instantly cease, under the authoritative proc
: jamation of the Inaugural, that a citizen of
any State in the Union “may oiler to the citi
zens of ot her Stales his advice as to their man
agement,” (the management, of their reserved
powers,) “ and tiie form in which it ,s tendered j
is left to his own discretion and sense of pro- ;
i priety.” This declaration, coming as it does
\ from the highest functionary in the Union, will
i be jumped at and seized with avidity by Mr.
Granger as a sufficient warrant to justify him

This lu utgura!, under the official hand ol
Win. Henry llarrison, as President of the
United States, sets tire seal of confirmation to
Ins Abolition.sin. There is n it an intelligent
and unbiassed man in the Union, who has
paid that alien in to the subject, which it de
serves, but well knows that the venerable
North Bender is an Aboli ionist; for Lis dec-1

drous condescension ! Magnanimous forbear

him, or his adherents of the modern Whig
school ? Nothing. Instead of palliating the
dangerous tendency of his opinions on that sub- j
I ject, or making them less offensive to the South,
it aggravates the character of the injurious j
j overture, by first proposing the removal of a j
i constitutional guaranty which would depopu
| late her farms and plantations and introduce a j
! new system of white negro slat cry, far more j
| dangerous to her public tranquillity and politi- J
cal Interests, than tiie existing order of things ;

1 her common sense by saying, that the propo-
Lsition is only presented with die hope that it!

in plain language, the South is solicited to re
linquish a valuable privilege —to throw away
a vested right, and weaken her political, agri
i cultural and commercial interests, to gratify j
I the Utopian notions of the present President ;
of the United States, and perfect the sinister
designs of an uproarous herd ot wild Aboli
tionists. This, I admit, is certainly a more
courteous and pacific movement toward the
iccomplishment of the “object which is near
his heart” than the ferocious and clamorous
course pursued bvthe Garrisons, the Tappans
and the Slades of the day—but the people of
the South may rely upon it, that such advances
are more daugerous in their tendency than all
tiie frantic roarings of the new made Aboh
tionUis put together, and re-echoed, as they
have been, by the World’s Convention, from
one side of the Atlantic to the other. Sap
’ ping and mining is the GeneraTs policy—but,
a coup de main, in the strategetic language ot
the Inaugural, would inflict an “injury upon

which have succeeded the furious excitement
of the late canvass. Let me the . solemnly
a k them, if they have nut good and sufficient
cause to dread the rapid advances which have
recently been made toward establishing the
doctrine of Abolitionism ; and if it is not their
political, their moral, and their religious du.y
to use every exertion in the.r power, to exor
cise and crush the dark spirit which lifts i r s
head so menacingly above them J 1 have not
the slightest doubt, but that, upon due reflec
tion, au affirmative answer will be given by
every man who is sensible of his own rights,
and who has firmness enough to mainfam them.
They will then, when the proper time arrives,
wrest their confid nice from the hands of those
who have deceived and abused it, and place
the rights of the South m an attitude that will
command the respect of their most determined
and powerful adversaries.
A SOUTHRON.
In the U. S. Senate on the 4 h ins l , the
Vice President of the United Stales having
taken the Oath of Office, ami assumed Ins
place as President of the Senate, delivered
the following address:
Senators: Calledby the People of the Uni
ted States to prisde over your deliberations,
; I cannot'wnhhold the expression of tfie high
estimate 1 place on the honor which they have
conferred upon me. To occupy tiie seat
which lias been filled and adorned—to say
nothing of my more immediate predecessors
—by an Adams, a Jefferson, a Gerrv, a Clio
ton, and a Tompkins, names that, although
belonging to the dead, still live in the recol
lection of a grateful country, is an honor of
which any man would have just cause to be
proud. But this honor is greatly augmented
by the consideration of the true character of
this body —by ttie high order of moral and
intellectual power which has distinguished i:
in all past time, and which still distinguishes
if—by the dignity which lias, for ti e most
pari, marked us proceedings, and above all.
by the important duties which have devolved
upon it urnler the Constitution. Here are to
be found the immediate representatives of the
Slates, by whose sovereign will the Govern
ment has been poken into existence. Here
exists that perfect equality among the mem
bers of this confederacy which gives to the
smallest Stale in the Union a voice as poten
tial as that of the largest.
To tins body is committed, in an eminent
degree, the Iri sos guarding and protecting
the institutions handed down to us from our
fathers, as well against the waves of popular
and rash impulses on the one hand, as against
attempts at Executive encroachment on the
other. It may properly be regarded as hold
ing the balance in which are weighed the
powers conceded to this Government, and the
rights resei ved to l fie Stales and to the Peo
pie. It is its province to concede what has
been granted—to withhold what has been de
nied, thus in all its leuturesexhibiting a true
type of the glorious confederacy under which
it is our happiness to live. Should the spirit
o! Faciion— t.iat destructive spirit which reck
lessly vvalksover prostrate rights, and tramples
laws an t constitutions in the dust—ever find
an abiding place within litis Hall, then indeed
will a sentence of condemnation be issued
against the peace and happiness of this peo
ple, and their political institutions be made to
topple to their foundations. But while this
body shall continue to be what by its framers
it was designed to be, deliberative in its char
acter, unbiassed in its course, and independent
in its action, then may liberty he tegarded as
enirenebed in safety behind the sacred ram
parts of the consiiitilion.
While 1 occupy this ch ir, Senators, I shall
have frequent occasion to invoke vour indul
gence for my defects, and your charily for my
errors. lam but lithe skilled in Parliamenta
ry law, and have been unused to presale over
deliberative assemblies. All that I can urge
m excuse of mv delect is, that I bring with
me to this chair an earnest wish to discharge
properly its duties, and a fixed determination
to preside over your deliberations wills entire
impartiality.
The following is Vice President Johnson’s
Address to the Senate upon his relinquishing
the Sp: aki r’s chair in that body.
“In taking leave of tins body no language
is adequate to express my feelings. 1 have
been associated many years in the councils of
our common country ; and it has been my
great pleasure and happiness, that my person
al relations have alwavs been kmd and friend
ly, without distinction of party. I vvixi elected
io IHe place I occupy by an equal vote of the
Electoral Colleges and a majority of the votes
of the people.
“After having served my country for thirty
two years—two years in the Legislature, and
I thirty years in the service of tiie Government
—it is natural that rav remembrances should
he awakened to the past. My situation here
has been pleasant and agreeable. Such has
been the generous and magnanimous course
of conduct of all towards me, that it could
not. be oilier wise. If, in the discharge of mv
official duties, I have ever failed to meet your
approbation, it has been rather from the want
of abl ly than of will. Mv intentions ha ’e
always been, to preside with impartiality and
justice.
“Tt e place I hold is hereafter robe occu
pied by a distinguished son of Virginia, and
in leaving the place I occupy, it is with no
I feeling of dissatisfaction towards any one, or
I towards the verdict of the people against me:
l have always bowed, and always shall b w
in deference to the will of the majority. Per
mit me to take this occasion to bid you all an
affectionate farewell. Whatever destiny
may await you, mv best wishes attend you.

destiny in the world to come.”

More Indian Murders—Further exem
plification OF TIIE WHITE FLAG PoI.ICV
Tiie following intelligence from Florida, is cop
ied from the Savannah Georgian of the 7th
instant, by which it wiil.be seen that more lives
have been sacrificed in a skirmish with the In
dians.
By the U. S. steamer Gen. Taylor, Capt.
Peck, we have received from our attentive cor-1
respondent, the subjoined letter.
Lieut. Alburtis, with 18 men, was attracted j
by the report of rifles to the spot where the .
Corporal lay, and 70 or 80 Indians rejoicing
over his body.
Lieut A. gave them a volley, which, he j
thinks, killed a number. Tiie Indians then
oflered battle, and after sustaining himself for
an hour against this force, and having exhaus
ted his ammunition, he retired to his post.—
Reinforced, he sallied out a second time, and
another severe fight ensued, but the Indians
forced him to retire to Ills post with two men
ol his force killed and six wounded.
Tiie Dragoons and Infan ry are in pursuit
Nothing new from Tampa. The Indians have
not yet gone west.
(Correspondence of the Savannah Georgian.)
Florida, March 3J, IS-il.
Under date of the 15. h ultimo, I apprized
vou of the negociatioas going on and of the ex
pectations of many in relation thereto, but
warned you not to place any reliance upon the
Indians. Have nay predictions been verified !
Listen. Yesterday, Lt. Alburtis, Coni’g
Company K., 2d Infantry, was attacked at his
post (Fort Brooks, on tiie Oclawaha) hy 100
Indians, supposed to be A1 ieck-t us-te-nuggee ’s
band—the circumstances, (so far as they have
been ascertained from a soldier just from the
i scene of action) are these :
A Corporal, out hunting, was killed: some
‘of his comrades who escaped, reported to Lt.
; Alburtis that the Indians, m force*, were near
’ him. Taking with him 18 men, he sallied out,
!leaving ti e root of his company in lie block
house, tv th orders in rase they were attacked
no* to yield. L . Alburtis, in a tew moments,
fell m"wi:h the Indians, and au a-lion corn
ua-. O'i wifi: .1 1 .s’- I up wards o. an hour. —
Our bravo men were forced to retreat, but d;d
so in good order, keeping up a continued lire
until their ammunition was exhausted. Being
cut off from them own post, they retired to Ft.
Russell. Capt Birnuin, with a large lorce,
immediately started in pursuit. A command
of fifty men from Fort Holmes are also out to
gether with 100 dragoons from l’ilatka. The
,-oldier from whom the above is derived, says
he believes but one man was killed and five
or six wounded. A number ot Indians weic
seen to fall during the action. We shall have
the full particulars to-morrow; perhaps this
afternoon’s express may tell us something.—
If the Way Bill contains an endorsement 1
will endeavor to obtain permission ol the Q,uar
te* Marter to copy it. Yours truly.
Further and later from Florida.— The
schr. Empire, (.'apt Southwick, arrived here
last evening, from St. Augustine, by which
vessel we received tiie following extra* from
our attentive correspondent at that place:
OFFICE OF THE NEWS, >
St. Augustine, March 7. )
Information reached here last evening, that
an express arrived at Pilatka, from Fort lltis
| sell, on the night of the 4th, bringing intelli
gence that Capt. Barnum, with one hundred
mpn, (including nine mounted,) came up with
the Indians, (whom Lieut. Alburtis had been
compelled to retreat from, on account of the
smallness of his force,) at the head of Orange
Lake, and commenced an attack upon them.
Capt. B. had placed the nine mounted men in
ambush, as a reserve, and led on the others ;
but finding the Indians in such a body, he made
a signal for the mounted men to come up. No
sooner was the signal made, when the Indians,
having cut off these men from the main body,
fired upon them, killing six, and the other three
retreated to tiie Fort, being wounded. The
express was immediately sent off to Pilatka,
without knowing any thing further. The
wounded tneu state that Capt. B. was still
fighting.
Capt. Carr, 2d dragoons, with one hundred
men, was sent ont from Pilatka a few days pre
vious, and returned shortly after the express
had arrived from Fort Russell. He immedi
ately supplied his men with provision, and
started for Capt. B’s. battle ground. It is im
possible to give the particulars, under such a
circumstance. There is no knowing the loss,
as yet, that Capt. B. has met with. Lieut. Al
burtis had lost six of seven men llie day be
fore, in his skirmish with the Indians, and was
forced to retreat on account of their number.
This looks very much like “peace.”
P. S.—T. S. Brown, the Canada General,
who was appointed to treat with the Indians,
after going to Tampa Bay, was not countenan
ced by Gbu. Armistead, and was very wisely
given permission to return. The Indians have
not been shipped from Tampa Bay. They are,
no doubt, to be let loose again!!
From the Savannah Republican, March 7.
LATE & IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA.
The steamboat Gen. Taylor, Capt. Peck,
arrived last night from Florida. We hasten
to lay before our readers the following letter
from an esteemed friend, giving an account of
a recent skirmish with the Indians:
Fort Russell, E. F., March 2,1841.
Gentlemen: I hasten to inform you ere the
express leaves for Pilatka, of the re-appear
ance of the Indians this evening at Orange
Creek, within three miles of this Fort. Lt.
Albert is, of the 2d Regiment of Infantry, who
was detached from Fort Russell some few
days since to garrison Fort Brooke, about five
miles distant, was startled about II o’clock
this morning by hearing the wild cry of the?
in ian Bandits in the direction of Fort Rus
sell. Taking with him twenty-four men of
his small command, Lt. A. immediately left
Fort Brooke, and following the direction of the
cries, encountered tiie Indians in force at
Orange Cre?k Hammock, oifiy three miles
from Fort liucsell. On perceivlig the Indians,
lit. Albertis opened a heavy lire upon them,
which continued for an hour; but as the In
dian force continued to increase, numbering
about one hundred, and Lent. Albertis having
fired away all his am nun t,> n, bo was com
pelled to retreat back to Fort Brooke, bearing
with him five ol his men severely wounded.
Having deposited the wounded in a block
house, together with the females of tiie post,
and established a guard with orders to fight or
H e, should the post be attacked during Ins ab
sence, Lieut. Albertis again issued Jorth, ac
companied by only seventeen men, with the
determination to cut his way through the In
dians in order to communicate with Capt. Bar
nunt, the commander of Fort. Russell.
On arriving once more at Orange Creek,
die Indians emerged from the hammock and
oflered Lieut. Albertis battle, in the broad pine
barren. That, officer, wi li bravery ajmosl un
paralleled, with only seventeen men, again
fought the enemy nearly an iiour, and attunes
a tiiough'iemuiedhiii se fma ehisway hrough
the whole force of Alex Tustenuggee o the
post of Fort Russell, losing along the gauntlet
<f fire only one man. The commanding officer
ot Fort Russeli immediately left in pursuit of
the enemy. Our wagons have already brought
into Fort Russell 2 killed, 1 Corporai and 1
Private—6 wounded, 1 Sergeant, 1 Corporal
and 4 Privates, and one is missing.
Killed—Corporal Lang, Cos. G., 2d Inf.; Pri

Missing—Private Merrick.
The loss of the enemy cannot be ascertain
ed, as the Indian v amors were seen to drag
ofl'their dead and wounded as fast a* they fell.
Yet my word for il, Alex Tustenuggee at the
bead of Ins hundred warriors, while contem
plating his slain, cherishes at this moment
feelings most bitter against Lieut. Albertis
and his “seventeen men.”
P. S.—No Indian news from Tampa. The
Indians come in have not yet gone West.
THE STORM.
On last Tuesday night a violent fall of rain
commenced in this vicinity, and continued al
most without abatement for forty-eight hours.
On Wednesday night the scene was awful
beyond description; loud peals of thunder,
resembling in tbeir sudden, abrupt noise, the
sound of immense parks of artillery discharg
ing simultaneously, caine at short intervals,
and lurid flashes of lightning “lit up the dark
ness of the scenery.”
Almost every mill-dam and bridge in this
neighborhood were carried oil’by the sudden
accumul .tion of water in the creeks. Several
cotton boxes were swept down the Ocmulgee,
but oar bridge remained steadfast to its granite
pillar. In the swamp lands, there was devas
tion ; cattle were drowned, fences washed off
and lodged in trees, and large banks of sand
left by the water, on the surface of the richest
alluvial soils of the fields. The hills of the
uplands were robbed of their scant soil, which j
was swept off by the ruthless torrents of rain. |
The ground was mostly broken up by the
plough for the new crop, and suffered im
mensely ,* the cotton land lost most of its
strength, that was to have aided in gladdening
the hearts of the people after a year of disas
ter; and the corn lands in many places had
; their furrows, designed lof the seed, washed
into g’lastly gullies.
W e learn that the Columbus Bridge has
been washed away by the freshet.— Macon
Telegraph, 16th ins*.
Great Freshet. —On Tuesday morning
■ last, the rain began to descend, and the wind
Ito blow. It rained for three succes.-ive days
land nights, in torrents almost. The conse
! quence is, that our creeks and rivers have been
! swollen to an extent never before witnessed,
jif we except the freshet of last June. Indeed,
ijtiio.j-a at this j'laco the waters wott not as
h Ji, by two in the Oconee, as they were
i 1 June lasi, ye: we have been informed that
•below they were, on the river and creeks,
much higher. From all that we can le:ir,
toe, greater damage has been done than any
previous freshets. T.ie Georgia and Central
il,ulroads have been materially injured. The
dr.dges in ail directions that we have yet heard
from, have been carried away. W hole plant
ations covered with water, which as it llowed
away, deposited upon tiie once tortile land,
largo quantities of sand. Many lives too rn/-■>■/
have been lost. .Mr. Bullington of this place
lost a fine negro mau. He was drowned, in
.t'Cinpting to save some rails that were flotl
mg away. We also learn that at Cargill's
Ferry, on the Orimilgoe, in Jasper county,
while the Stage was bemg ferried over, the
current carried away the il it. It had proceed
ed but a shot* distance down stream when it
Upset. The passengers jumped upon an isl
and and were saved. One negro fellow and
one horse were drowned. The mails were
last.
Milledgeville has been completely shut out
from any intelligence. We must reserve for
a future number of our paper, intelligence, we
fear, that will be of a mournful character. A’
present, we can say no more. —.Milledgeville
(Ga.) Journal, l(i‘h inst.
Factories in the South. —The last Pen
sacola Gazette states that a Cotton Factory is
about to be established at or near Acadia in
Escambia county, Florida. In noticing the
fact, the Editor makes some very judicious and
appropriate comments. The subject is one
deserving the best consideration of every
Southerner, who desires the prosperity and in
dependence of this portion of the confederacy.
It is time to abandon abstractions and turn our
attention to subjects of practical utility. The
Gazette truly says : —“How strange it is that
nothing of ibis has yet been done hero! We
produce the cotton, send it to market, ship it
t > New York ; it is sent thence to the manu
factories at the North, goes through the mod
ifications necessary t.o convert it into clothes
lor our negroes and for ourselves, is returned
m a manufactured state to New York, bui
thened with all the protit of Northern tabor
and Northern Capital. It is then purchased
by our merchants, and they put on their fifty
per cent, for exchange insurance, and profits.
The time is fast coming, when Ihe slumber
ing south will he awakened to the unwelcome
truth, that she must manufacture her own
clothes and raise her own provisions, or her
people must become the tributaries ol the
North and the West.”
