fcrom tlie Savannah Republican, Mav 29- FROM FLORIDA. A\ e learn from an officer of the Army who came passenger in the U. S. steamer Gen. lat/Uir, Capt. Peck, arrived yesterday from Florida, that since our last advices from that quarter, lialeck Tustenuggee, whose camp is at Fort Fowle on the Ocklatvaha, had sent in four of his warriors to Col. Riley, commanding at Fort King, asking for rations, which were refused. Four other warriors were sent in by the same chief two days afterwards reques ting rations, which were in like manner refus ed ; whereupon the messengers stated that the chief would march for Tampa and halt at a cer tain Creek between that post and Fort King, from whence he would send for provisions and an escort to take him to Tampa for the pur pose of emigrating. Coacoochee (Nvild Cat) had again been in at Fort Pierce. He stated that Sam Jones and Ilospitaka were forthwith to hold a coun cil with himself, when would be determined their course for the future. Coacoochee of course expressed himself determined to emi grate, and stated that Sam Jones would do whatever Ilospitaka recommended. Haleck Tustenuggee’s warriors brought in 115 sticks, indicating the number af people for whom rations were wanted. It will be remem bered that in our last advices, it was stated that eight days more would test the sincerity of Haleck—those eight days have passed and he has not surrendered. It will not fail to strike our readers with surprise* that orders have not been issued by the comm Hiding Gen cral ere this to seize these Chiefs, and their warriors whenever opportunity offers. The time has passed for negotiation with these savages, or rather to use a legal phrase, it has expired by the statute of limitations It is to he regretted that the gallant Col. IMey had not orders to catch and hold on to these fel lows, and it is perhaps still more to be regret ted that Coacoochee and twenty-six of his war riors who were with him at Fort Pierce, were not detained and furnished with quarters at j that post. The upshot of all this will be that the In dians will take the field again, although they are evidently so tired of fighting, that it they had any encouragement to act in good faith, by ‘lie application of a severe rule on our part, they would be more punctilious in the perform ance of their promises. Our troops Will doubt- j loss have another summer campaign. They ‘ are now so well acquainted with the country, that they will burn up all the crops of the In dians and distress them exceedingly, which will lead, in all probability, to their surrender in the enduing autumn. Our informant states that of 10-> men at Fort; King, 106 were sick. In addition to the above j items of intelligence,’ we may add that sever al rumours have reached us Iroin our oorres- j pendents, that the command in Florida will soon be confided to (he gallant Col. Worth.— We give the rumour as We have heard it. Il it be true, we are prepared tu say that a bet ter selectiou could not well have been made.} Another Indian Mcrdki*. — The follow ing extract of a letter received af this place, Conveys the intelligence ol another bloody act by the skulking Indians wtio infesf the Country. The deceased is supposed to be Mr. Thomas Livingston, late a merchant of St. Maiks, a very worthy and estecmCd gen tleman: (i ’ Fort Pleasant, May 14, 12 o’clock, e. M. “ We hhve just .arrived, and hasten lo in firm you that, on the road about two and a half miles west of the Osctlla river, we dis covered a mail lying dead, stripped and mu tilated, a'li'il his horse about 800 yards distant, also dead and stripped of his equipments.- This leaves no doubt of there being Indians in the neighborhood. A detachment has been Crdere.i to scour the hammocks in the neigh borhood and bury the body.”— -Tallahassee (f.a.) Star, M ly 15. Front die Globe. Whan Jefferson was President; a clergy- 1 iVh:i Wrote to hint during a season of general j alarm’ from an anticipated war with Great, Britain;recommending him to set apart a day | Os fasting and prayer. As the reply of tiie j iHustfiouV patriot is so able in its composition, sb‘conclusive in its’ reasoning, so sound m its j dobtrities,'and so f oil of meaning,’we respect- ; fully ask its careful perusal by our readers.— \ Y 7 e ’ give thte letter in full; it is from Jeffer son's Correspondence,’volume 4, page 104 : Washington, Jail. ‘20,1808. Sis r I hhvc duly received your tavor ot the , 18th, and ant'thankful to you for having writ-1 ten it, bCcause it is more agreeable to prevent than to refuse wliht do not think myself au- ; thorized to'comply With. I consider the Gov- j eminent of the United States is interdicted by I the Consitutiun frGrn intermeddling with reh <rious institutions,’their doctrines, discipline,* i or exercises. ‘Phis results not from the pro visions that no law shall be made respecting the establishment or free exercise of religion, but from that also which reserves to the States the powers not delegated to the l nited States. Certainly, no power to pre scribe any religious exercise, or to assume authority in lehgtous discipline* has been delegated to the General Government- It must then rest with the States, as far as it can be in anv human authority.— But it. is only proposed that 1 should recom metul, not prescribe, a day of fasting and prayer; that is, that I should indn cctly assume to the United States an authority over reli-; ,rjous exercises, which the ( otislitulion has directly precluded th mfroni. It must be meant, too, that this recommendation is to carry some authority,- and to be sanctioned by some pen alty on those who disregard it; not indeed oi fine and imprisonment; but ot some degree ot proscription, perhaps in public opinion. And ■ does the change in the nature ot the penalty make the recommendation the less a law ot conduct for those to whom it is directed ! I do not believe it is for the interest of religion j to invite the civil magistrate to direct its exei- ■ ciscs, its discipline, or its doctrines; nor of religious societies, that the General Govern inent should be invested with the power ot i effecting any uniformity ot time or matter ; amotm them.’ Fasting and prayer are religious I exercTses; the enjoyment ot an act ot discip-1 line. Every religious society has a right to determine for itself the times for their exer cises, and the objects proper for them, accord ing to their own particular tenets ; and this j rmht can ne\er be sater than in their own, hands, where the Constitution has deposited U *l am aware that the practice of .my prede cessors may be quoted. But 1 lia\e ever be lieved that the example of State Executives led to the assumption ot that authority by the General Government, without due examina tion, which would have diseo\ered that what mwht be a right in a State Government, tra ~ a violation of that right when assumed by another. Be this as it may, every one must act according to the dictates of his own rea son, and mine tells me that civil powers alone have been given to the President of the l ni ted States, and no authority to direct the reli gious exorcises of his constituents. 1 again express my satisfaction that \ou have been so good as to give me an opportu nity of explaining mvselt in a private letter, in which I could give l’ny reasons more in detail than might have been done in a public a:is\\ er, and I pray you to accept the assurances ot my high esteem and respect. - TIL JEFFERSON. To the Rev. Mr. Millar. Curious Fact. —If an egg be reduced to ashes previous to incubation, the magnet dis covers no iron in those ashes. But if an eertr be placed under a hen, or m any other state proposed for hatching and be reduced to ashes in the same manner subsequent to the chick's being produced, iron in considerable quantity will be found in the ashes. Ihe ex periment has been made.—Dr. Garnett. ; LATEST FROM TEXAS. From the New Orleans Bulletin, May 20. The steam packet Neptune, which arrived yesterday from Galveston, brought us papers of that place to the 18th, and from other towns ol a late date. The general report is that peace and in dustry rule within the Texian borders. — Hams had moistened the earth, and tlie hus bandman had good promise ol return for his labors. The British brig Citv ol Perth, which had loaded at the p irt of Sail Luts, in being lowed out of the harbor by the Savannah, grounded on the bar, wliereshe remained at tlie last accounts, though the S. made six in ellectunl attempts to get her off. The Civil ian says: We learn that the brig drew nearly 12 feet, although the pilot had lejieatedly given the caution that she could not go out safely with I more than 11. It is hoped that she may have been carried back bv the waves into deep water, though her position was very danger ous. A company for the St* Fe expedition, were to leave Houston on the 20lh ibr Austin, the general rendezvous. Important. — The 11 mstonian publishes the following information, very important, cer tainly, if correct: \Ve have, through the politeness of a friend, been favored with the perusal ot a let ter just received from a gentleman attached lo the commission lor running the boundary between this Republic and the United States, front which we learn that the work is rapidly progressing, and will probably he completed in June. The point at which the parallel of the 32d degree crosses the Sahine, and from which our line turns north, was found to be far south of any other observation previously taken; and the whole of the 17th range, and three-lourths of a mile in the IGih will thus be included in Texas, giving us a tract of coun try more than 400 miles long, by 6 in breadth, which was supposed to belong to the United Slates, and included in their surveys. This land, we understand, has all been lo cated, and so great has been the rage lor it, that unlocated boumy claims a esaid to have been sold in some instances as high as $1 50 per acre.” (From a. idle Kuglish Paper. PHENOMENA AT THE NORTH POLE. A St Petersburg periodical, Le Journal ; Scientifique et Literaire, publishes a very ex traordinary narrative ofan expedition to the Arctic region, under the command of M. IN.dinei Nmgoi wasuesenk. i lie narrative says; About the S9th degree of latitude yielded us one of the most curious discoveries that | have enriched the physical scienies in latter limes. It occured lints: For some days'we had made no lire for want of wood, when, in seaiching our box of provisions, I found some Lyons chesnuts which M. Arago had j sent me as a souvenir. I took it into my head to roast them. We put together some slia i vings which we still had, and kindled them. — [ A bright flame forthwith arose, and we were j anticipating the sweet sensations it was about I to yield us, when suddenly an incomprehensi ,| ble phenomenon manifested itself. The flame at first so bright and crackling, seemed struck with immobility, and was gradually covered with a solid crust —it was congealed ! “ (fur astonishment bailies description. (A i scientific description of the ice thus produced then follows.) I broke a bit of it and put it | into my mouth. Contrary to my expectation, j the sensation which resulted was agreeable; ijust fancy a litte taste of barly sugar extreme ly relieshing, though accompanied by a light burnt sm'elf. lam persuaded that when such | ice shall he produced by artificial means, cou i tectioners will turn it to great account. “ A little further on another phenomenon, not iess remarkable, awaited us. We had for some time perceived an increased rapidity in the progress of our sledge, though tvq used ; our iron hooks hut little. The phenomenon j was soon explained ;oneof-us having dropped j his hook, the moment he attempted to pick it We saw it gradually remove from us, flee be- \ fore us, and ultimately vvliiz as il split the i dense atmosphere around us. “Though already accustomed to the won ders which those mysterious regions had pre sented to us, as it were, at every step, we stood inute with astonishment, but were soon roused from our amazement,*’ our sledge, which is almost wholly made of iron, seemed pushed on by a fatal, irresistible and invin cible power, such as that which'draws a light j boat towards a cataract, we tried to stop il,! I but could not succeed, and were compelled to i leave il to the met tty of Heaven. “ The magnetic power of the pole produced j | its effect, and after a few hours of that fantas- j j tic. progress, we were enabled to perceive, by ! j the light ol an aurora borealis, the sombre I and mysterious extremity of our globe. It consisted of enormous mountains, probably ol ; pure loadstone, divided into huge strata of various colors, green or blue. One would have fancied the back of a gigantic zebra was rising before us. Alas! unless Providence | Vouchsafed us unhoped for assistance, we 1 must soon bedashed to pieces against it. Im pelled by the proud demand of science, we had | tempted Heaven, and already did we feel its | hatuls suspended over our heads ready to i crush uS. l - Nevertheless,thus isolated in that vast fro zen solitude, and fatally dragged to destruction we were calm and resigned, so great is the! power of the grand mysteries of Nature over! man ! Some tears only flowed in silence, and I 1 heard beloved names suddenly, a sort of barrier of icebergs, heaped over one another,! made us deviate from our course, and at the same nnmier.t, and in a lew seconds a force! as powerful as that which had made us beforej devour space in front of us made us roughly recede. We had just fallen into a negative magnetic current. W e were saved carrying away with us the most awful secret of nature. 1 It was enough to run mad with joy. We raised our hands to Heaven.” From the Natchez Free Trader. Map and Description of Texas. 1840. We have received from Francis Moore, Jr. Esq., editor of the Houston Telegraph and , Texas Register, an admirable traveller’s guide or literary fu 1 of the latest maps and litho graphs of towns and important places. Mr. Moore has been one of the most industrious 1 editors in Texas, and we hail the appearance ! ot this volume of 143 pages as a token which | shall prove to him the extent of his popularity in the United States by the ready sale of nu merous editions. The Indians style Texas the “ Happy Ilun ! ting Ground” from the immeuse quantities o game and fish found in its woods and waters. The editor of this little work has given | sketches of the ancient and remarkable ed ifices scattered through the country and called “Missions” by the Spaniards who erected them for the double purpose of pro | tectmg the Catholic missionary in their early j attempts to christianize the savage tribes and to protect those “Mission fortresses” for the I purposes of agriculture or mining. The first is the Mission of San Jose, on the San Antonio, a little below the city of Bexar. It is a lordly looking tower, with a Church and dome and massive walls, like a fortress, in the rear. The other missions arc the Espiritu Santo, almost a ruin, near Goliad, and the Mission de la Conception. These dwellings are mostly in ruins, but still the walls are massive, and loom up in the clear sushine ami glorious atmospliere of that fine rural country like the castles of the Shine or of It aly. There is also a fine sketch of -the old town of San Antonio de Bexar, the fortress of Alamo, the great Church in the square of San Antonio, the town of Goliad, and some nmianiic mountain scenery, near the city of j Austin, with the rising sun breaking over a hundred hills that look like oceau billows, i by a heavy wind. ” The work includes descriptions of every county, town, mission and important feature of the country. The large map at the end of the book is the most perfect we have seen, embracing the country from North Mexico and the Ozark District to the Louisiana line, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Mexican provinces of Tam aulipas, Coahuila, and Chihuahua. The Map, in fact, is General Austin’s map of Texas, compiled by Stephen F. Austin with latitude and longitude from the observations of General Tran of the Mexican army, pub lished by H. S. Tanrier, Philadelphia.

Columbus, March 17th, iBII. 6 3t PRESENTMENTS Os the Grand Jury of Stewart county, May Term, 1841. .. , THE Grand Jurors, selected aijd sworn for the- May I erm of the Superior Court for said county, having concluded their special services, make the following recommendations and presentments ; We unanimously agree in recommending to out. Senators and Representatives in ihe next general as sembly of ibis stare, to introduce and advocate (a law increasing ihe salary of the Attorney General and Solicitor General of this State, io such a sum as mar insure the acceptance of these offices by gentlemen of the best legal talents. .. •’ We recommi nd to the inferior court to have the •causeway on the road leading from Lumpkin to Lan nahassee, on the Kinchatooiia, repaired, by having said causeway put m as good order as it was, previous do the late freshet, and by having made an additional pass way for Uie water. That commissioners he ap pointed (o superintend said work, and that the expense be defrayed out of the funds of ihe county. We also recommend to the inferior court to have the window blinds and steps of the court house ti paired, and the jury rooms .kept m betier order than they now are, and we recommend that a room of sufficient s.ze bo constructed iq the southwestern corner of the court, house, on the upper floor, for the special use and ac commodation of ihe. Grand Jury during their services. We present as a grievance, the great carelesvness and repeated neglect of the proper officers throughout the county, in appointing patrols and eufoicing the law in such cases. . . We fiud by our committees, to whom the examina tions were intrusted, that the Imoks of the Clerks of •he Superior Court and Hie Court of Ordinaryj of tho Inferior Court, am! of the County Treasurer, are kept in a neat and correct manner, : We find in thq h.tmjs of our county Treasurer, cash, to the amount of’ §526 01, and due by the pounty upon change bills of the Inferior Court in circulation, §548 SS. , , , . Wo p es.ent Musco Pickett for an assault and bat tery, committed on the person of James Lyon on the 3 l day of this month. Witnesses, 11. M, Haws and John T. Sims. - . \Ve also present Solomon Barnes, Russell D. Gardner and DeLny Cox, as vagruuts. Witnesses,’ Wi liam Nelson, Brady M, Smith, O. S. Sabine, Harris Dcnnard, John Dean, sr. Benjamin Johnson and Elias Bead. We present- William Newman of the 747ih Dist. G . M, for committing larceny from a house, on the 27th diy of April last. Witnesses, Win. Nelson and Alex ander Irwin. W'e presgpt as a grievance, the novel practice car ried on in Magistrate’s Courts, of allow ing suits to bo instituted in the names of fictitious plaintiffs, by allow ing them to endorse the note, and thus fraudulently evade the intention and spirit of the (aw, providing that suits may be instituted in the Dis rict where ei ther the maker or endorser reside. This practice often subjects the defendant to much inconvenience, and frequently endangers his rights, at law, since by this practice, the defendant may be called upon to an swer in the same day to different suits, in different districts. We therefore would r.ecpmmend that tho present law he so amended as lo reach and correct the evil arising therefrom. By our committee, we find the following officers in default, in reporting sale of estrays lolled before them, 10-wit : Wiley B. Garner, in two instances, Charles Ri ey, Hariison Huff, John Williford and Charles H. Warren. .... , . ~ A crisis in our pecuniary affairs has at’rived, which calls Jor an expression of opinion from this Grand Jury, It has come to our knowledge, that requisitions from collecting attorneys, have been made upon Sher iffs, to receive in payments of debts, from defendants in execution, nothing but gold and silver, or jf non-spe cie paying bank notes,at a discount of 16 per cent, (the pres nt rate of exchange between the cities of Columbus and New Y'oikJ —it is not difficult to per ceive that the effects of tins exaction will be ruinous to our people—for if the collector, requires it from tho merchant, the merchant injustice to hiipself will also require n from the farmer and the laboring portion of our community. Whilst we deplore such a state of things, we are induced to enquire into the cause.— We unhesitatingly say that it is owing to the suspen sion of specie payments by the Banks, and that too, in the very face and in defiance of the highest author ity of the land. Thp Bapks were chartered under certain cqndiiions, and were granted certain privile ges. The conditions, wore, that t(iey should perform certain acts, among - which,'they tacitly agreed lo fur nish a sound circulating medium, at ali tunes convert- - ible into specie. Under the expectation and belief that these Banks would be faithful to their promises, the community at large, consented undor such pledges, that the notes of suen Banks should be considered as the currency of the country,, But the Banks suspend, and whalfollows 7 Creditors, who in most instances, under the existing monied .pressure,, are plaintiffs in execution, demand in satisfaction, at the hands of col lecting officers, gold and silver, or the notes, if non speeie Banks, at a discount ot one-sixth below their nominal value. Under existing laws, the honest and unsuspecting debtor is without remedy. Surprised by thi< unexpected emergency, he is forced io sub mit to one or the other alternative, either to pay tho extortionate demand 0f.1 6 per cent, discount on tho notes tendered in payment, or suffer his property, tho fruit of his hard earned labor, to be sold at a i unions sacrifice. And who in the mean time, we would ask , are the beneficiaries of this unrighteous state of things, at the expensp of a distressed people 7 We answer the banks, and how 7 Nine-tenli.s of ihe produce (cotton) ofiast year, raised in this section of country, has been b .ught with the nojes.of Banks which now refuse to pay specie, ‘l'lie cpttoii thus bought, has, a large portion of it, been shipped to northern cilit sj where it now commands specie funds. Upon the e funds are drawn bills of exchange, <u whatever rate of premium the Banks ('indirectly through their brokers) may choose to offer. But we would further ask, if the banks are not in a condition to redeern.lheir notes in specie, according to their promise, why will they not furnish the holders of their notes xvith specie funds in exchange, at the iaie of law established 7 Com mon honesty would seem to demand this inueb. Wo forbear further comment.'. Enough has been shown to satisfy every candid mind, that the iniquity involved ill this question, is drawing rapidly to that point where i patience ceases to be a virtue, and at no very distant time, we venture to predict, unless the Banks return’ within the pa eof their charters, the question will in some way or other, be determined, whether the Banks on the one hand, or the people and the laws pn tho other, are supreme. Jn submitting these views, wo do not wish to be understood as entertaining feelings of hostility to the Banking principle, when honestly carried out, but we do contend that whilst, the Banks are acting solely for their interests, that the rights and’ interest of the community should*also he protected. In view, therefore, of this public grievance, we re commend as a relief, that whenever the .notes of a Bank which refuses to pay specie,, shall he tendered', by defendants in judgment, or execution and refused by the plaintiffs, that. a law be passed, authorizing tho stay of such executions by the defendants,.untifsuch time as the notes of such suspended Bank may be re alized in specie or, its equivalent, by the defendant, and with a view that justice may be done in a more summary manner than the ordinary process now es tablished by jaw, we advise that the jurisdiction in magistrates courts be extended to all promissory notes of every denomination issued by Banks or Banking Companies, and that all other necessary riieasures he enacted, cs may iri the wisifoin of our Legislature seem necessary to further the objects contemplated by said law. . j , ( ~ , We would furthermore recommend, in relation to this subject, that the creditor portion yf our fellow-cit izens, extend the utmost forbearance towards iheir debtor's, that may be done without loss to themselves. Notwithstanding the embarrassments which now sur round us, we have no cause to despajr. Blessed wiiff a congenial climate and productive let the peonlo but persevere, arid by patience, economy anil industry , we shall once more behold the dawn of prosperous’ days. .... , i , By the diligence and ability wish which his honor, Judge Wellborn has discharged his official duqe>- tin ting the laborious session of this Term of our .Court, we have abundant evidence that the laws of oar state will be faithfully and promptly executed under his ju dicial administration, and to the Solicitor pro ttm.
