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 tant station he lately occupied. The moral leprosy of 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! . . That’s what we call comfortable,—As the 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 irons said to the wood when lhe boy was ma king a fire ! • ® ■ 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.

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, New York Literary Gtssette, —We have received No, 1, of this new publication, edited by James Aldrich, Esq. and published by W.

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.

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.
