h<ive made their report. It is a long and laboured
affair, and just such n production as every hotly
might expect from the Hotspur who douhless is its
author —Henry A. Win, the Magnus Apollo of the
ctunmiltee. And who is Henry A. Wise I Is he
not the same reckless anil unprincipled bully, who
has wasted, day after day, the time of Congress, in
useless and unprofitable debates—in exciting broils
and fomenting discontent, and degraded the charac
ter of that body of which, unfortunately for the coun
try, he Is a member I He was a confederal ‘in the
murder of the brave and gallant Cilley. Desperate
in character he is ever anxious fora broil, and like a
practised gladiator he daily enters the Hall of Con
gress, courting a eonlajt, in order to show his dexteri
ty in his liear-'-ard-n fights.
“"■flTgMUiiK as his course of conduct has been to the
citizens of the Slates generally, it is astonishing, that
Congress should have selected him to fill the impor

the author has tainted every paragraph of the report,
and the virtuous portion of the community will re
gard with jealous scrutiny the production of a man
whose rule of conduct they abhor.
MOKE INDIAN MURDERS IN FLORIDA.
Just as our paper was going to press, nn es
teemed friend handed us a letter which ho re
ceived from his Brother in Florida, and permit
ted us to make the annexed extract. Alas!
poor Florida! She has bled at every pour, j
and hundreds of her bravest citizens have fell
by the ruthless savage, whose shrill war
whoop still is heard throughout her borders.
Munticello Post Opfice, Florida,
February 33d, 1839.
‘T-ast Tuesday I wrote to you front Tallahas
see, and again to-day, the citizens of Jefferson
County meet here for the purpose of making
some efTort to do something for our protection.
Within the last fortnight not less than 15 or3o
persons have been murdered by the Indians.
The Indians have shown themselves almost
at the same time in several different places and
in larger numbers than they have hitherto done,
about 10 miles from me on the Magnolia road-
While returning from Tallahasseo on Tuesday.
1 learned that the alarm had been just given of
the murder of 4 persons and one wounded, and
three waggons destroyed by them. I have
now determined for the present, to be a little
more on my guard, and consequently keep one
of the fellows on the watch on the side of the
plantation. I think it most likely they will as- j
sail my place. Though I should be rejoiced to ‘
see you sell out and move to Florida, I con- i
gratulatc yon in not being exactly ininy neigh- ‘■
jtorhood. Youcannot imagine how extreme
ly harrassing it is to be obliged, to feel as I do,
that to step but out of my house, may expose
pie to be shot at, and at this time when it is ab
solutely necessary to be the greater part of
lily time in the field.
My greatest apprehension, has been, and still
is in the day time, when attending to my busi
ness, or on the road. I cannot hope to escape
an attack unless we can get men enough out to
them off, for I am told signs of them have
been within the hist throe days seen all around
my place, not further from me than four or five
miles.”
Wellemand. — Allow me to offer you an
.arm, —asfthe Roast Fowl said to his gizard,
when they were going to the dinner table!

Black bird said to the pastry cook when she was
putting on the upper crust, —crimping it
down!
We’ll give you our support,—As the And

STEAM MILLS ON THE ALATAMAHA.
We find that the Mills on the Alatainalm.
especially about Durien. are doing a very large
business. The Upper Steam Mill, above the
: town, now owned by Messrs. Turner John
ston, are in successful operation, and we know
that the mill is capable of supplying the most
, extensive orders. The Lower Steam Mill has
been recently purchased by S. B. Jewett, Esq.,
of the Georgia Lumber Company, and will
soon be able to meet the demands for sawed
lumber. Mr. Jewett is very extensively
known, as the most active and exterprizing
agent of the Company located at Lumber
City, in Telfair county, formerly known ns
| Flournoy’s Mills. Under his aupiccs, we
have no doubt the lower mill will become a
very profitable and thriving establishment.
Among other improvements, wc may notice
the fact, that a fine new steamboat plies be
tween Darien and Lumber City constantly,
she is called the Simeon B. Jewett, and be
longs to the Georgia Lumber Company. The
services that this Company has rendered to
the counties bordering on the Alatumahn, are
incalculable.
Our fine rivers and inland streams, offer
great inducements for the erection of ma
chinery worked by water power, and the vast
forests of pine lumber which we have yet un
touched, affords a wide field to the capitalist.
We have been informed that the orders for
lumber which the Georgia Lumber Company
has to fill during the current year, will bring
at least 100 sail of foreign and native vessels
to the port of Darien, and this must, of course,
greatly add to the importance of that place.
We know the place well, and all its resources,
and speak confidently when we say, that
Darien must yet force itself on the attention of
the State. It has great natural advantages,
which if properly used, and brought to light,
must ensure it distinction. We. believe as a
lumber market, Darien will shortly be su
perior to any port in the South, and this alone
must make it conspicuous.
As we have remarked before, the prosperity
of the whole State is dear to us, and that of
Darien, as intimately wound up with our own
Savannah, especially so, and we ahull lose no
opportunity of pressing on our readers the
legitimate claims of that place to the attention
of the citizens of Georgia.— Georgian.
Regatta. —A trial of speed between two of
the “crack” boats of this couuty, and several
other races, came off in this city on Saturday
last, an account of which we give below, han
ded us by a friend. We venture to predict
that the “Goddess” will not quietly submit to
this defeat, but again contend with the proud
“Queen” for the victory so unexpectedly
gained;
Mr. Editor :—ln attempting lo give an ac
count of the regretta on the. Ist inst. howinany
sublime and pleasant recollections fill my
mind as I call up in the stillness of this spring
like and contemplative evening that mngnifi
cc.nland unparalleled ilay’ssport. In the quiet
of my domestic retirement, the leaves of the
evergreen quivering at my window with low
and melancnolly whispers, thou Hard of Eden,
thou Swan of Avon, and ye muses of Grcee,
whose presence haunts or seems to haunt that
scene by streams of old renown, gleam and
send their shadows along the wall ? But Igo
back on the wings of memory to that hour, the
tide of whose bounding impulse seems gather
ing in my apartment.
After a few postponements of the regatta,
the wished for morrow arrived, and contrary to
the old proverb, March made its appearance
like a lamb. There was not on that day a speck
to stain the azure heaven—the sun alone in un
approachable divinity careered, rejoicing in
his field of light. It was a day that sent into
the heart a summer feeling—all seemed to
smile in that joyful sunshine and partakeofits
universal blessings.
At 12 o’clock the first race took place be
tween Col. Du Bignon’s “Goddess of Liberty,”
und (’apt. T. F. Bryan’s “Queen Victoria,”
lmth six oared boats. Distance 1 mile. Time
5 15. Bets on starting two one on Goddess.
I From the beginning to end this was one ofthe
I most exeiting mathes probably ever witnessed,
alternately each boat being ahead a few feet,
and only won by the Victoria by two feet, a
greeable to the decision of the judges.
2d match. Cnpt. Bryan’s 4oared boat, row
ing 2 oars, and Mr. Harrington’s 2 oared boat
“11. 11. Floyd.” Distance half a mile. Time
2 55. Belting at the start 2tolon H. H. F.
Won easily by the 11. 11. F., being the quick
est two oared boat we know off.
3d match, Capl. Richard Floyd's “Caroline
King,” and Capt. Bryan’s “Victoria”—both
six oars. Distance half a mile. Time 2 45.
! Bets 2 to 1 on Caroline King. The C. K.
won by one length, after a well contested
race.
The boat racing over, a match race was
made up between colts “Bolter,” and “Go-a
head.” Distance 1 mile. Time 33. This
race created a considerable degree of excite
ment and nmusament. Betting at starting, six
turnips to a leg of mutton on Go-a-head, who
won easily, Bolter acting up to hisnaineonthe
first outset.
After which a foot race came off between
two individuals of great notoriety and celebrity
in this part of the country, a Dutchman and a
Kamtschatkan. Dis. 100 yards—time 32 s.
Any money on the Dutchman. After various
false starts they were got off. The Dutchman
won in glorious style and was so elated at his
success that he imagined himself for the re
mainder of the evening to be a “fery goot

Counterfeit Notes. —The public arc cau
tioned against receiving counterfeit notes of
the denomination of five dollars, purporting
to be of the Bank of the. State of Georgia
payable at Savannah, They have the like
ness of Franklin on the left, and a vignette on
the right very imperfectly engraved. The
plate is letter B. dated 2nd July, 183—. The
signatures of A. Porter, Cashier, W. D. Bul
loch, President, and J. Balfour the payee, are
all engraved. The paper coarse, thick and
oily, and the notes are nearly a quarter of an
inch narrower, and shorter than the genuine
l plate.
The entire engraving is so badly executed
that it can be easily detected,

CONQHESSSION AL.
{Correspondence of the Southern Patriot.)
WASHINGTON, March Ist. 1831*.
SENATE.
Last evening the Senate passed the House
Bill, anti rising the re-issue of Treasury Notes
to the amount authorized by the act of May,
1837.
The Army Bill was also passed, with about
fifty private bills.
This morning a warm debate arose on the
subject of a communication from the Post Mas
ter General, in answer to a resolution requiring
him to state the reason why he has not an
swered a former resolution ending upon him
to give n statement of the number of Post
/Masters who have been removed during the
past year.
The Postmaster stated that the Department
had not had sufficent time to make up the
statement, and that was the only reason he
had to give.
This was denounced as disrespectful to the
Senate and after much discussion a resolution
was adopted censuring him for the same.
■l/r. Kendall could have nient no disrespect
to the Senate in his madvertant reply ; and it
ought to be known that his Department in
common with the others, is really deluged
with calls for information of one kind or other,
and which when answered can have no possi
ble tendency to benefit the country.
The object of these numerous calls for infor
mation is now well understood. The Whigs
were fully aware that they could not be possi
bly answered for some months after the ad
journment of Congress, but they wished the
people to believe that universal corruption ex
isted, and which made such calls necessary.
The clerks are at work night and day and have
not been able to furnish a sixteenth part of
what is required—the Whigs refuse to vote for
an extra force, and yet they are loud in their
complaints that they arc not answered.
The Senate took up the spcciul order, being
the following resolution reported from the
Committee on Foreign Relations on the sub
ject of the
TROUBLES IN MAINE.
That the Committee cannot find in the
whole correspondence between the author!-
ticsoflhe U. Ntatesand Great Brittain, a trace
of an agreement to allow exclusive jurisdiction
to Great Brittain over the disputed territory;
But on the contrary, it discovers an agreement
that each party should abstain from exercising
jurisdiction, except over such parts as were
already in their possession respectively.
That the Committee cannot perceive that
Maine has violated the spirit ofiuiy agreement
by sending a Land Agent to drive off Tress
passers, both parties having that right, taking
rare to retire upon the accomplishment of that
object.
That if the British Authorities persist in
maintaining exclusive jurisdiction by military
force, the exigency will haveoccurred, in which
under the Constitution, it will become the
duty of the President to repel invasion.
‘l’hat if the Government of New Brunswick
shall refrain from executing its threat of enfor
cing exclusivcjurisdiction, and A/ainc refuses
to withdraw her troops, Maine will not then be
entitled to the Military aid of the United
States.
Mr. Williams of Muinc moved to amend by
striking out the last resolution and modifying
the first.
The debate was continued by Messrs. Clay
and Buchanan.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.
Last evening Mr. A/orris front the Commit
tee of Accounts made a statement shewing the
caffse of their refusing to pay the extravuganl
bill of the “Investigating Committee,” and
which led to the adoption of the resolution of
yesterday morning requiring the compensation
to be made on the same principle us that on
which the Bank Investigating Committee were
paid,
Mr Morris stated that the Committee of In
vestigation, just returned from New-York, and
consisting of nine members, hud charged Con
gress Mileage, so that for the single item of
travelling expenses they had demanded eigh
teen hundred ilollara, or two hundred dollars
each. Mr. Morris said it had been ascertained
a gentleman might go to New York and back
for $25, and they therefore had determined
not to sanction such a demand. The whole a
mount of the bill including all expenses, was
$2,700, which not including the enormous
sum charged for travelling expenses, gave to
each member of the Committee eleven dollars
per day in addition to his per deem allowance
of eight dollars. Mr. M. said the Committee
on Accounts were willing to pay all reasonable
expenses as they wished members sent oil such
business to live ns became gentlemen and
members of the House, but they could not
sanction such an enormous charge.
Mr. Wise replied and alluded to the labor
performod by the Committee. He said that
when he left this city for New York he had
S2OO in his pocket, und on his return it was
nearly all gone, He contended that the Com
mittee had charged no more titan their actual
expcnces. With regard to this S2OO, expen
ded by Mr. Wise, it amounts to nothing un
less he will tell the House in what manner he
expended it.
The House went again into Committee of
the Whole on the hill providing for the next
census, and after some debate, it was reported
to the House, read a third time passed.
Glynn County Academy.— We arc pleased
to learn that this Institution is in a fair way of
being soon put into successful operation in this
city. The funds of the Corporation at this
time amount to about $20,000. The Legisla
ture at its last session disincumbered it of the
care of the district schools, and added five new
members to its Board. We know nothing
now to prevent the establishment of a first rate
Seminary in this County.
The Board of Trustees consists of James
HamiltonCoupcr, President, Henry Dubignon
Treasurer, Robert Hazlehurst, Hugh F. Grant
S. M. Burnett, F, M. Scarlett, Urbanus Dart,
F. Gage, W, A, Howard; and J. Bancroft,
Esquires.
At a recent meeting of the Board, we are
informed the Trustees resolved upon the com
mencement of a once. We heartily
wish success to that favors

There is an editor in a certain town in this
State who writes his editorials in bed—sticks
his types, by tjie aid of his “darters,” sitting on
a chair with his “ease,” cm his knees —begs his
ink, by the pint, from neigboring offices ; and
by scratching manages to issue a little seven
by nine sheet once in a fortnight—printing it
on a press of his own manufacture, one page at
a time.—Cincinnati News,
We came across an editor once upon a time
in our wanderings through this same slate O
hio, who went ahead of the one you speak of,
Mr. News, in more respects than one. His wife
done all the press work, working off the paper
on a common cheese pres*. As there was lit
tle power on the machine she was obliged to
let the sheet stay in for half aq hour in order
to get a good impression ; but as she was of
an” s industrious turn she employed her leisure
time, after screwing down the press, in knitting
