Mr. Editor : It is matter of histcry that
the last memorable reform Legislature passed
s law compelling the suspended Banks in our
i>tate to resume specie payments, and to stay
resumed on pain of loosing their charters, on
or before the first day of February* 1641. In
compliance with this requisition, it is known
that the Banks did resume on that day. It is
matter of history that on the Bth day of May
last the above named Institutions, in utter
violation of the law, suspended, and have not
yet resumed. It is also matter of history that
immediately after this event Exchange rose
from 3to IS per cent, premium. Historv
further savs, that after the 8 h day of May our
Banks had no Exchange to -sell, but certain
individuals, not unknown to this community,
Could and did supply every demand, verifying
the old song
“ Scissors cut as well as knives,
When uecessar y to be done ;
Aril Brokers are to Banks u3 wives,
And meicy how to none.”
I hat the resumption at so early a day as
the first of February was both fatal to the
Banks and people, is now felt and ought to
acknowledged. Tin* legislation was had.
We now see it. The resumption day should
been further oil! and ilie redemption
should have been gradual. Jlut the opportu
nity lias passed, and we must now do the best
we can. Although I was a decided opponent
ol t/ie party in power in on- last Legislature,
yet candor compels me to say that if ever
there was a case in which Representatives J
were specially instructed to vote for a certain i
measure, it was for the immediate resumption
of specie payments by the Banka. I cannot
mid shall not biarne tire majority of the Legis
iature. I considered them morally and politi
cally bound to execute the expressed will of
their constituents. The blame should be j
placed ujmn the shoulders of those who willed
it, and not upon those who carried that will
into execution. The doctrine of prompt, pay
ments by Banks and individuals is sound both
in morals and religion ; it is not only just but
beautiful; yet there are exceptions to every
rule, and we all know that within the last few
years men have generally been unable to live
up to it, tins fact should have had great weight
in making regulations about the banks. Ido
verily believe that our Banks would now have
been in good standing if the plan had been
adopted as J have already suggested. But I
am digressing. The Banks violated tiie law,
and our Merchants consequently were placed
in a dose place. Two alternatives were be
fore them—either pay Id per cent, premium
for Exchange and sustain your credit, or re
fuse and break. They determined (at least a
few,) to do neither. A meeting of Merchants
were called, and recalled ; hut as it was soon
found that self-interest was at the bottom, and
that they were only going in for themselves,
tin; community withdrew its support and the
whole affair fell through. Their proposition
was, let us have Exchange at a reasonable
rate, and you may stay suspended as Ning as
you please, in violation of Jaw and their own
■oleum pledges. But they soon found out
that the Banks asked them no odds in that
fight, so they went to work with the Governor.
A demand was made upon the Governor to
order suit to be instituted against the Bank of
Columbus, for refusing to pay specie, and in
quick succession followed others against tiie
Planters’ and Mechanics’, and Chattahoochee
Railroad. The Bank men began now to laugh
on the other side of the mouth. The Govern
or ordered suit to he commenced, and em
ployed able counsel to conduct them. The
oherilTserved the writs upon each of the banks,
and the cases are docketed for trial. In this
state of things a very important question arose,
which was tins : Is it not proper and legal to
have Receivers appointed by tiie Court, who,
after giving bond and security, shall take
charge and keep safe, until the termination of
the suits, all tJie assets of these suspended
Banks, as Trustee for the bill holders; and ,
should the charters be found to be forfeited,
and so declared, that the Receivers should
collect the assets and apply them to the re
demption of the bills in tiie hands of the peo
ple - Judge King decided, and 1 think very’
properly, that it was both proper and legal,
and he lias made the appointment of Receivers
for each one of tiie Banks under consideration.
What is the duty of the Banks? Will they
set at defiance (for such is the common re
port,) the highest judicial power of the folate*
or will they act wisely* aiuiobey its mandate!
These are grave questions, and d'jserve to be
pondered well. My opinion is, that Banks,
its well as all others, should yield ready obe
dience to the process of established Courts.
I hold that this is right, and that every good
Citizen should abide by and stand to the in
junctions of our courts ol law. If Banks or
individuals can set lire authority of the courts |
at defiance, how’ long will there remain any
security for our lives, our liberty, or our pro
perty 1 If Banks and Bank men are al
lowed to trample under foot with impunity the
manda'es of tiie court, why am not 1 and all
others entitled to do the same ! Can any one
answer this question saltc!actotally ! if the
order of the court is to be null when against
them, why should it not be null when in their
favor, but against me'! Why should the |
Banks object to turning over their assets to I
Receivers ! If I understand the matter, they |
have no power until after the termination oh
the suits. Should they be determined against ■
the Bmks, then, and not till then, their powers !
commence. Why, 1 ask, should the Banks!
complain of tins ! W hose fault is it 1 Let
them answer that question. Ask yourselves
the question, how came about this state of
things ! and if ever conscience did her duty it
will tell you that yourselves are the authors
of all your trouble. 1 have said it was my
opinion that Judge King decided properly and
legallv to have Receivers appointed for each
Bank. My reasons for t hat opinion: All laws
made to govern a people must be universal
upon the governed—must be general and not
partial. A law is made that the Banks (then
in a state of suspension,) should resume oiv
t!ie first day ol’ February, 1641, and should!
continue specie payments tor their bibs inj
good faith, and upon refusal to do so, should
torieit their charters* The Banks resume on;
i the Ist of February but suspend again on the i
| fci.h of Mu, and refuse to redeem tb?;r bills j
t with specie, in violation of the provisions of the j
’ statute. This is pnma faaio evidence that j
they are in a desparate condition. Now teii j
roe"what guarantee have the bili holders that
the Bank will not turn out a total failure, and
the assets scattered to the four winds ? It!
will not do tv) say that the Directors in such a
Bank will not squander the assets or app.y •
tlieiu to their own use. The law knows no;
one it must operate equally, not partially—;
it must treat all ai.ke—it must be general,!
universal. If certain men have got themselves ;
under the pains and penalties ol the law, the\ .
must take the consequences. The-fault is
theirs, and not the law. Are not the suspen
ded Banks in our citv in this predicament]
And are wo to be told that they are above the
i inw—that they dare to disobey the highest
judicial tribunal in the State, and that too in a
■ case where they were previously the open and
t sha.nele-s violators of the law ! NV nat an
example is this! Should this be allowed,
? the laws become a dead letter our

|THB new revenue or tariff bill.,
W E find in the Savannah Georgian the 101-,
i towing synopsis of the debate in the House of
’ Representatives on the above bill. We asl:
for it the special attention of our readers. —
I A glance only will be required to show whetb
|er necessaries are not taxed as .well as luxu
ries. The Savannah Republican says, it will
J now be seen that a tax ou articles will not
j increase their price to the consumer. That
paper is willing to t ike any article on which
j this 20 per cent duty is laid, (cotfee it instan
; ces) and test the truth of its assertion that
j ihe price w ill not be raised in consequence’ of
| the imposition of additional duties. This
| view of the matter will soon be determined,
: and we can then see how much of a prophet
I the Savannah Republican will prove to be.—
I In our next paper, we shall endeavor to show
i the objectionable character of the present
Revenue Bill:
Congress,—The Tariff’ Bill passed the
House last Saturday. Yeas lit) —nays 101.
When we have an opportunity of reading
it entire, we will be better able to judge of its
effects upon the laboring ar.J Agricultural in
i terests. A Washington correspondent of the
| Charleston Mercury. July 30, writes :
The new Tariff Bill, laying 20 percent, on
I all articles now free of duty, saving a free list
!in favor of all manufacturers. It will, un
-1 doubts.iiy, pass the House to-morrow. This
is ihe bill by which the tax on luxuries was to
no laid, to Supply the vacuum in the Treas
ury, occasioned by the Distribution Bill-
Amongst these luxuries are Tea and Coffee,
from which, at least, half of the duties will be
raised. The equal ad valorem principle on
w hich the Bill is placed is right enough—and
its advocates professed to keep strictly within
the Compromise Act. The “ economical ad
ministration” stipulated for in that act, is
shewn in the Distribution Bill, and the other
projects of profuse expenditure—and the
drain on the Treasury being just as that act
requires to raise the duties to supply it, is of
course, also as it ought to be. The 2(J per
cent, which the Bill lays on jewelry, silks and
fine linens, i- all a humbug. Such a duty
cannot be collected ; but then they had talked
so much about taxes on luxuries, it must be
put on paper at least. This Bill will share
the fate oi the Distribution Bill in the Senate.
If the countfy stands such legislation as this,
and its other kindred measures, it is ready for
a Caesar.
Mr. Proffit (Whig) animadverted in strong
terms on the hot and indecent haste with
which this bill was pressed, not even allowing
the yeas and nays to be taken on the most
important amendments. lie instanced the ar
ticle of raw hides, of which three millions of
dollars worth are annually imported free of
duty, to the great detriment of raisers of stock
in the western country ; and yet when he
had proposed an amendment to remedy this
evil, the previous question was sprung upon
him, and he was not permitted to have the
yeas and nays on the question.
Mr. Wise, upon the reading of the title,
rose to amend it, by striking out and inser
ting “A bill to violate the compromise act of
the 3d of March, 1833.”
He said the bill should fit the caption. lie
said the House had unminded itself, and put
itself under the dominion ofShrewsburyclock.
He said tiie hill taxed the coiton bagging of
Kentucky twenty per cent ami if cotton could
stand this yellow corn could. The rule was
a rule to cover up the irresponsibility of the
Administration. He said the hill would injure
the commercial interest, and would be re
pealed in less than twelve months.
Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Barnard called Mr.
Wise to order for debating tiie subject and
not the title of the bill.
Mr. Wise said he knew what he was about.
He was showing how the bill violated the
compromise act, and why it should have a
proper title. lie said it was time this hum
bug of titles was exploded. A deposite bill
distributed the amount of twenty-eight mil
lions among the people in 1837. He said this
bill, if passed, would bring a protective farttF
upon the country. lie said there were some
men in the House that he would not lead, fur
they would drag so heavy that they would keep
a giant back. He compared Mr. Stanley to a
Pope at the Vatican, fulminating his paper
bulls of excommunication, and was glad that
he had found some charity for him. Ile now
withdrew his amendment.
Mr. Bidlack (Dem.) of Penn., moved to
amend the title of the bill, “and to lay a tax on
the producing classes to make up the contem
plated deficiency in the Treasury, arising from
the anticipated distribution of the proceeds of
the public domain for the benefit of stock-job
bers, loan holders, and speculators.”
Mr. Bidlack aid lie was one of those who
think things should be called by their right
names ; and lie believed the title which he had
proposed for the bill was the best description
that could be given to it. For himself, lie most
lirmiv believed, whatever gentlemen might
think, the operations of the lull would be to
tax tea and coffee, and other necessaries of
life, consumed alike by all classes, while it
exempted from tax, railroad iron, and other
articles for the benefit of corporations.
lie went on to show that the tax upon tea
ami coffee of more than two and a half millions
of dollars, was intended to supply that aipount
j subtracted annually by the contemplated dis
i tribution of the proceeds of the sales of the
punlie lands. Air. B. was desirous for an ear
. ly and final adjournment, and, had, therefore.
! forborne from consuming time in t he previous
; discussion; but he was anxious that this most
! unjust proposition should be brought upon its
; lace in connection with the bill which had
; rendered it necessary, and that it should go
1 forth to the World with its proper name upon
I its front, lie knew the majority would he
opposed to it, and would vote it down; and
j having briefly expressed his opinion of the
; bill, lie would withdraw the amendment, ra
j ther than consume Lime in the vote or discus-
I sion upon it.
But the Chair not hearing him, Air. Burnell
| of Alnssachusetts made a speech to show that
f lie voted lor the bill to save the great whig
party from splitting to pieces. lie hated to
’ vote against tea and coffee, but he could not
• embrace molasses, sugar and salt that had
been hitched on to the end of tea and coflee by
i a majority of the House.
Air. Bidlack rose to explain, but Mr. Burnell
refused him the opportunity.
Alter some remarks from Air. Dawson, of
G-.’orgia, Air. Stanley caiied the previous ques
! tion.
Air. Bidlack requested him to withdraw, to
’ give him the chance of reply.
Mr. S. refused : when
Air. Bidlack stud he should like to reply to I
the remarks oi the gentleman who had honor-!
ed him and the minority with their notice, i
But if the previous question was insisted on,!
which would cut off the amendment, lie would j
withdraw it again to save time, although he
should like to see who would vote against de
signating the bill by its appropriate title.
The bill was passed by its appropriate title,
and the House adjournrd till Monday.
The Charles’ Patriot,s correspondent re
marks :
**Alr. Proffit surprised nis whig friends by
opposing the passage of so important a mea
sure with such hot indecent haste. Here,
said lie is a bill taxing tiie people to the
amount of eight millions a year, and yec we
have been prevented by the gag-law from
opening our mouths on the subject.
Mr. Stanley lectured Mr. I’. for his “indis
cretion” in attacking his own friends. The
latter not liking the idea of being lectured by
his junior, made a rather angry rejoinder.
Mr. Stanley, alluding to the alleged want of
union among the whig party, asserted that the
; whige were nerveT foore ontted than they were
a‘ this moment. This caused a laugh from
the opposition. Mr. S. said they might laugh,
but it’ they would wait awhile, they would
have occasion to laugh on the other side of
their mouths. The laughter here was rejou
rned.”

Writ of Error to the county court of Sumter.
Assumpsit on the common money counts.
Verdict lor the defendant • >n the general issue,
and judgment thereon. The writ was issued
on the 31 February, 18 :10.
At the trial, the plaintiff proved that some
time in the year 1839, and previous to the
election held in said county, he betted the
sum of live hundred and fifty dollars with one
Tankersley, upon the result of the Senatorial
election. The money was deposited in the
hands of the defendant. On the day follow
ing the election, and before tiie defendant had
paid over the money to Tankersley, the plain
tiff gave notice to the defendant not to pay it
over, as the election would be contested. ‘The
defendant replied that he would not. The
plaintiff, some weeks alter this, was notified
by the defendant that he had paid the money
to Tankersley, who v.ould indemnify him for
all losses, ‘idie election was subsequently,
on the 26th January, 1640, declared insuffi
cient to entitle the returned member to his
scat in the Senate, and anew election directed
i to be had.
On this evidence, the plaint iff requested the
court to charge the jury, if they believed the
defendant, as stakeholder, had received five
hundred and fifty hollars from the plaintiff, to
abide tiie result of the said election for Sena
tor, and the defendant had been notified by
him not to pay over the money to the suppos
ed winner, then he was entitled to recover of
the defendant. The court refused to give this
charge, but instructed tiie jury that it was
necessary for the plaintiff to prove an actual
demand of the money before he could recover.
The plaintiff then requested the court to
charge the jury, that if the defendant had re
ceived notice from the plaintiff not to pay over :
the money, previous to paying it over, this was
equivalent to a demand. This charge was re-,
t used.
The plaintiff further requested the court to
charge the jury, that if the plaintiff,’ when he
notified the defendant not to pay over the mon
ey. had given him leave to keep it, subject to
the final decision of the election ; and the de
fendant, before such decision, had paid it over
to the supposed winner, and had notified the
! plaintiff of this fact before the commencement
I of this suit, then these circumstances consti
j tuted a case in which no demand was neces
i
This also was refused, and the jury was in
structed that if the defendant was authorised
to retain the money for.a given time, and be
fore the expiration of that time, he had paid
it over to the supposed w inner, it was a cir
cumstance which they might consider in de
termining the question, whether a demand
was, or was not, made.
To all these charges as given, and refused
to be given, the plaintiff excepted, and now
assigns that the county court erred in the sev
eral matters excepted to.
Resumption. —“We copy the following in
formation from the N. V. Journal ol Commerce
of July 31.
A gentleman from Alabama informs us that
there tiie people are coming very generally to
repudiate all bank notes which are not payable
in specie onjdemand. They have suffered by
the depreciation of bank notes and by the
failure at ore bonk afftrr another; and have {
been wronged in so many ways by the
banks, that they are becoming determined in
their resistance to the farther continuance of
the fraudulent system. Gold and silver are
coming again into circulation, for the people
will part with their property for nothing else.
A few private banks paying specie are getting
into operation, which furnish a sound paper
currency; but they are not vet much known.
From Georgia, and from Michigan, we have
published the proceedings of public meetings
repudiating tiie paper of suspended banks.
From three States, therefore, we have learned
that tiie principles of liberty, not regulation,
are purifying the currency. Another year
of the uninterrupted operation of these prin
ciplcs would or >bably restore soundness to
the currency in most cf the States ; and when
so restored, the currency would remain sound.
The laws of nature cure evils, but legislative
quackerv plaster them over, so that the first
time the patient takes cold, they break out

of nature for another year, the doctors would
be compelled to throw away their pills, and
allow the patient to get well.”

And think how they wouli strive to please,
And make our joys and griefs their own—
Though hoary hairs and dark disease
Seem’d warning them they must begone ;
Atni an they gazed upon us burning
With ardent hopes arid warm desire,
Would seem to feel the days returning
When they could glow with youthful fire ;

When pleasure to the world was callings

But oh ! we must believe them bow—
As in the solitude of feeling
We see their darkling shadows near,
While consciousness is o’er us stealing
That they alone have loved us here,
And thinking of them as departed
Forever from this world of woe,
We feel as almost broken hearted
That we should grieve them here below ;
And every word in harshness spoken
Is like a dagger to the heart,

“We have the pleasure to announce, that

THE COMMENCEMENT.
This annual literary festival has been at
tended the present season by a much larger
assemblage than for years graced the Com
mencement exercises of our State University;
and, so far as we can learn, furnished equally
as interesting a repast to the numerous visi
tors.
The sermon preceding the literary exhibi
tions of the week, was preached :ri the Col
lege Chapel on Sabbath morning, by the Rev.
Duct. Howe, of the Theological Seminary at
Columbia, S. 0., and seldom have we listened
to a more chaste, beautiful, appropriate or im
pressive discourse.
On ‘Tuesday, the address in commemora
tion of the tale Doctor Moses Waddel, was
delivered before a large collection of his form
er pupils and the public, by Rev. A. B. Long
street, President oi Emory College. It is
■ sufficient of this production to say that the
friends oi the distinguished orator were not
disappointed in their expectations—they came
to listen to the treatings of true eloquence,
arid the went away feeling that they had heard
that for which they came.
The Juninr exhibition took place on Tues
day night. We attended in order to hear ;
and if necessary, to criticise ; but the crowd
was so nense, and the juveniles in the neigh
borhood of our locality, so much more in
terested in exhibitions of eloquence ot their
own, that we were deprived the pleasure ot
hearing a single Sentence from tiie stage.—
We understand, however, that the young gen
tlemen acquitted themselves very handsome
ly.
A large, and we think more attentive audi
tory than usual, witnessed the exercises of
Commencement day. The various addresses
were generally well written and well deliver
ed, and calculated, as we think, to create a
favorable impression of the industry and tal
ent of the graduating class, and to increase
public confidence in their alma mater The
address of President Church was plain, prac
tical and impressive, and we trust that his in
junctions to the graduates to avoid envy, un
due rivalry, and inordinate ambition, may have
their due inlluence upon their iuture career.
Tiie degree of A. B. was conferred upon
the following members of the graduating

Cel. John Bdlups of this })lace, was elected
a member of the board, in place of Edward
Paine, Esq. resigned, who we understand has
for about thirty years faithfully discharged
his duty as one of the guardians of the Uni
versity.
Os the other proceedings of the Board, we
have learned nothing of public interest. We
are permitted, however, to make the following
extract fr<v } i -.lie annual commcmcation of
President *° that body, which will no
doubt'ft; o*v * -.ne friends of the Institution:
“In reviewing the past year, so far as this
institution is concerned, it gives me pleasure
to state that its general condition has been
prosperous. Under all the peculiar embar
rassments of the country, and the multiplici
ty of collegiate institutions in the country, the
number of the students here has been undi
minished. More than one huudred have usu
ally been in attendance, and a very large por
tion of them have been young men of high
promise as to talents, and of most exemplary
moral conduct and studious habits. lam con
fident that for the last twenty years, so much
good order and such uniform general attention
to study have not been found in the institution
during the same length of time.
The intercourse between officers and stu
dents has been pleasant, and nothing has oc
curred, of any importance, to disturb the good
feelings and kind intercourse among the stu
dents themselves, or between the students and
the citizens generally.”
The Oration before the two Societies on
Tuesday, closed the public exercises of the
week. This was delivered by Francis S.
Bartow, Esq. of Savannah. Mr. Bartow gra
duated but a few years since at this College,
and is probably the youngest gentleman upon
whom this appointment was ever conferred.
His oration, however, we presume, did not dis
appoint his friends. It was well written, and
advanced many just views and practical ideas,
expressed in an appropriate and sometimes elo
quent style.
We learn that fourteen new students have
been examined and admitted, and others are
candidates for admission, a number quite equal
to the usual accession at this season of the
year. .
The wat to cook gkeen Peas. —We copy
the following from the New Era, to which
paper it was communicated by a lady
“Place in the bottom of your sauce pan or
boiler, several of the outside leaves of head
salad—put your peas in the dish with two
ounces of butter in proportion to half a peck
of peas—cover the pan or boiler close, and
place it over the fire—in thirty minutes they
are ready for the table. They can either be
seasoned in the pan or after taking out. Wa
ter extracts nearly all the delicious quality of
the greeu pea, and is as fatal to their flavor as
it is destructive to a mad dog.”
John Randolph’s Will Again. —The late
John Randolph, by one of his wills, (the one
which was established, as between the vari
ous legatees, and claiming under ail his wills
found) emancipated all his slaves, some three
or four hundred, whose labor is said to be
worth SIO,OOO. It is now said that the exe
cution of this will is suspended, because Mr.
Beverly Tucker, who was not a party to that
contest, now comes forward as heir at law, to
overset all wills : and he is now engaged in
endeavoring to effect tins object, by a suit in
chancery.
Central Rail Road. —We learn from
the Engineer who arrived in the city last eve
ning, that the work on this road is going on
very satisfactorily. That the trains will run
regularly to the 122 mile station in the course
of the nexUweek: and that the repairs of the
road will be completed to lue 135ih mile sta
tion in about four weeks.
The contractors beyond the Oconee are
progressing rapidly with the grading and
masonry—every section having been com
menced. The distance already graded be
yond the Oconee, amounts to about fifteen
miles. The depot at Macon has been located
and the ground purchased by the company.
It is also gratifying to learn, that the reports
we have had of sickness among the laborers
are unfounded. Os Mr. Oliver’s gang of
125 men, who are engaged in repairs between
the 11th and 12th stations, there was not one
on the sick list on Friday last, a circumstance
which has not occurred before within the last
18 months.
There was, sometime since, considerable
sickness among the white laborers, though
it was of a mild character, and has almost
entirely abated.
Save me from Mr friends —The Boston
Courier, a staunch whig paper, thus discour
sed concerning Mr. Post Master Granger;
lie was never made for any thing but a po
litical demagogue, and owes Jiia present posi
tion to his everlasting clamor for office—-like
some others wiio have succeeded in obtaining
important places, to which they had no earth
ly claim nor qualification, except their skill in
the accomplished science of mendicity.”
There appears to be a good deal of strain
ing,ot late, in the ship “ Tippecanoe and Ty
ler too”—she has already run upon a Clay
Bank, and knockedoffher stanchions which are
defective, her standing rigging is shattered,her
masts are groaning, and every thump threat
ens to break her to pieces. Should she ca
reer any more to the Southard , she will be a
total loss.—Sav. Georgian,
Rise of Teas.—The English news by the
Caledonia, has induced holders of Teas in
Philadelphia to ask rive cents per lb. higher.
Great Britain (without Ireland,) with a
population of about 20,000,000—is said to
contain nearly 2,000,000 of paupers.
The Ocmulgee and Flint Raid Road. —
We had the pleasure of conversing with an
intelligent gentleman a day or two since, who
has recently passed over the whole line of the
Ocmulgee and Fimt Rail Read. lie speaks
in the most flattering terms, not only of its
early completion, gbut also of its advantages
to that section of our State. Twenty miles
of the road is nearly completed and ten more
continuously so. There are now upwards of
a hundred hands employed upon the work.—
This augurs well for the enterprize, when it
is stated that it is only about four months
s.uce it was commenced, ft is intended in
the coming winter to place between four and
five hundred hands upon the road, and the
Engineer Gen. Brisbane,’ is sanguine of hav
ing it completed and in readiness for the crop
|of IS 12. The ent ire length of the road is
about seventy miles. Gen. Brisbane de
serves great credit for his energy in carrying
on this work, and we look forward"to its com
plection with a good deal of interest, assured
as we are, that its advantages and benefits
: not only to that section of our State in which
| it is located, but to our own city, will be incal
culable.—Savannah Republican.
Battle in the Indian Country.—The
St. Ljuis Argus of the 25ih ult. learned by a
gentleman from Fort Leavenworth, that a
battle occurred between the U. S. Dragoons,
at Fort Gibson, and a large body of Indians,
j negroes, and mongrels from Florida, who
! have been for some time past gathering in the
! fastnesses of Arkansas. About COOnegroesifrom
Florida, and runaways from the Choctaws
! and Cherokees, united with a few Indians
: and white men, recently marched up the Red
! River for the purpose of hunting buffalo. —
i They built, for the purpose of protecting
i themselves a tort of logs. Not being suc
cessful in game they invaded the Choctaws
and carried off the property of the latter
The Choctaws sent to Fbrt Gibsen lor tie
Dragoons, who, assisted by a company of In
fantry, with two pieces of artillery from Fort
Tow’son, attacked the marauders fort, drove
them out of their entrenchments, and put a
number of them to the sword. Ihe carnage
is represented to have been terrific, a at?
whole body was captured, and it is supposed
the blow will give security to that exposed
portion of the frontier.—Phil’ Ledger.

GLOROIOUS NEWS FROM FLORIDA.
Co-a-coo-ciiee’s whole band in.— Close
of the Florida war.— By the IT. S. steamer
Gen. Taylor, Capt. Peck, arrived tic re yester
day. we have the gratifying intelligence from
Florida, that the war for the ninety-ninth
time may now be considered as at an end.—
Wild Cat’s whole band, men women, children
and negroes, lot) in ali, have come in at Tam
pa, and 40 more Indians of another band
were on their way, and expected at Tampa
in two days. A gentleman who came on in
the Gen. Taylor, says that he. does not think
another rifle will be fired by the enemy.
When Co-a-coo-chee’s family came in,
Col. Worth told him tint he night go on
shore from the echdoner where lie is confined
and see them, lie refused to go, saying that
though he was anxious to see -Ins family, he
would not permit them to see him in irons.—
The Colonel finally consented to lot h n go
on shore without iiis shackles, and after a
warm greeting with his family, he dined with
the Colonel, and then returned on board the
schooner. -Vs soon as his irons wero replaced
he told Col. Worth that he had but one re
quest more to make, and that was, to a:!oic
him and his people to go West as soon as possi
ble!
We understand that Col. Worth on taking
command in Florida, sot the first div of Jan
uary, 1342, as the time of closing this war.—
From lus admirable management and indo
mitable perseverance, seconded by the gallant
officers and troops now in the fluthere is
every prospect that ho will redeem his pledge.
Should he succeed, iie will ha.e the ho . - or
accomplishing what older and more experi
enced commanders have failed to perform.
During the war many of ilie otfieers of
our gallant little army have distinguished j
themselves, and more of them would have
done so, had opportunities been presented.—
It has been a field in which there has been
plenty of hard service and but little glory to
be obtained. Every tiling however, could be
done, has been done, and we are glad once
more to see a prospect of speedily subduing
the enemy.
The first Regiment of Infantry now in
Fioridi, have been ordered to Fort Crawford,
Prairie du Chien, Upper Mississippi. They
were to leave immediately.
The steamer Chas. Downing, Capt. Dent,
arrived on Thursday from St. Augustine. W e
are indebted to our correspondent of the
News office, for the following intelligence :
Correspondence of the Savannah Republican.
OFFICE OF NEWS.
St; Augustine, August 3,1811.
The steamer Wm. Gaston, Capt. Soiners,
arrived this afternoon from Southern Post—
The large scout started from Key Biscayne
and Fort Dallas, for the Everglades, on the
evening of Friday, the 30th ult., consisting
of six Companies Artillery, under the com
mand of Capt. Burke, and a number of Sail
ors and Marines under the command of Capt.
Rogers aud Lt Sloan, of the Navy—amount
ing m all to about 400 men and 50 Canoes,
with which they anticipate accomplishing
much towards the close of this protracted war.
We heartily wish them success, and iook for
ward with no ordinary anxiety for the accom
plishment of much good.
VVe are sorry to learn, that that gallant offi
cer, Major Childs, who was to have comman
ded tiie expedition was left sick at Fort Dal
las. The Posts South, are generally very
healthy, with the exception of a few cases
of slight fever owing to tne exposure of the
men to the sue.
Major Childs has issued an order for the
removal of all stores and store houses, from
Key Biscayne to Fort Dallas, aud will break
up that post (the Key) entirely.
The accounts from Key West, are of the
most deplorable nature. ‘1 he yellow fever is
said to be raging at that place, and very lalal;
a large number have already fallen victims to
it. One of the unfortunate victims is Mr.
Landon C. Henry.
The fever is still worse at Havanna, and
we learn that there are nine American ships
now lying in that port without a soul on hoard
all having died of the prevailing fever.
We have no further news from Tampa
Bay to communicate, since the last intelli
gence of the Indians coining in very rapidly.
