in which every man in the community is in
terested, in proportion to the amount ot mer
chandize which he consumes—consequently,
it is an object of high import with the consu
mer of goods, that the rates of exchange should
be low : because in proportion to the rate oi
exchanges which is paid by the merchant, in
an exchange of commodities, in the same ratio
is the consumer taxed. To the merchant it is
capital invested, and is as justly included in
the cost of goods by him, as though charged
in the original bills. Exchange on the South
is now 2 to 3 per cent discount, and in some in
stances has ranged as high as sto 6—a state
of things which has been produced exclusive
ly by the want of a credit abroad ; which is
not enjoyed by our local Banks. That the
United States Bank by this association, will
keep in check and prevent excessive issues by
the local banks, as well as to equalize, reduce,
and regulate the rates of exchange, arc posi
tions which no man who values his character
for veracity will deny. Hence its connexion
with that Bank is a matter of paramount im
portance ; and should ba devoutly wished for
by everyman who deshes either a sound cur
rency or to be protected from the too frequent
frauds ol local Banks.
Ext r ao rdinary Phenomenon.
. We perceive by an extract of a letter from a
gentleman in Troy New York, to a member of
Congress; that the hill bordering on the lower
part of that City, has “slid” from its location
and buried a considerable portion of the city
in ruins—Many buildings had been crushed,
and many lives lost. At the time of writing
eight dead bodies had been found and 16 hors
es—ln one of the streets the earth is said to
be sixty feet deep.
The writer concludes,
“To add to the dreadful sublime, Hie water
■came foaming down the hill in a torrent. It ie
Mow evident that the earth about here is vol- |
•canie, or that the water comes from the moun
tains east of us. The swamps that are not
filled up with earth are filled with water. It is
•a melancholy day with us.”
Such is the extraordinary character of this
intelligence, we must confess it draws largely
on our credulity—Should it however prove true
’we shall lay before our readers the facts more
in detail.

INDIAN HOSTILITIES.
Again the hostile Creekshave broke loose
and committed depredations and murders.—
"The plantation of Dr- Battle on Cowaga creek
was besieged by a party of Indians five or more
■in number, who fired upon and killed one white
man and two negro men at the same time
-burning the dwelling and out houses on the
.premises of Dr. B. Bit five Indians were
seen on the occasion, but there was reason to
believe that a much greater number were
concealed in the swamp. It is not known
whether these Indians were of those who still ;
remained in Alabama waiting to be emigrated i
or whether they were stragglers returning f rom i
Florida. The question presents itself, why !

FROM FLORIDA—OFFICI AL.
Extract of a letter from Gen. Jessup, dated
“Head Quarters, Army of the South, f
Volusia, Florida, Dec. 9, 1836.
The command of the foices in Florida was
transferred to me yesterday. I would greatly
have preferred that Gov. Cull had been permit
ted to close the campaign. He had difficulties
to encounter of which no man can form an ad
equate idea, who has not been here. I have
examined carefully the state of the service, and
have looked into the matter connected with the
recent operations ; and 1 am sure no man could
have done more under the circumstances.
He established this post, and took every pre
liminary step to supply it. Supplies and means,
of transportation are rapidly arriving; and
had he retained the command, he would soon
Jia ve struck an important blow.
The term ofservice ofthe Tennessee volmt- i
•teers will expire in a few days. To avail my
self of their services in the attack, 1 propose
to make, I shall move sooner than in my own
judgement I ought t» move, and may have to
fall back; but I am so arranging mv depots that
if compelled to relinquish one abject I shall
readily strike another. Isl should not succeed
in dislodging Powell, I can, on returning to
this place, strike .Micanopy, Philip arid Coop
er, who are about a day’s march from each
other, each with from one hundred and twen
ty to two hundred Indian negro warriors; the
latter, perhaps the more numerous. My object
will be to strike them in succession, and pre
vent them from concentrating.”
Extract of a letter from Maj. Gen. Jessup,
dated Hicad Quaktebs, Abmy of the
South, Volusia, Florida, Dec. 12, 1836.
“A sufficient supply of subsistence having
been received yesterday to enable me to move
with twenty days’ rations, th# army will march
to-day. The advance is now moving. At the
Ocklawuha I shall have the choice of two ob
jects —Micanopy, who is about 30 miles south
of the point where I shall cross that river, and
Powell, who is fifty miles soi.th.west of it.
1 propose, after placing the train safely
across the Ocklawaha, to leave a sufficient
force to protect it, and with the remainder
make a forced march and strike either Mican
opy or Powell, and if successful with the first,
immediately attack the other.
My movements are not in accordance with
my own judgment; they are controlled by the
necessity of availing myself of the few days
that yet remain of the term of service of.ths
Fenncssee brigade, and I am, therefore com
pelled to march on their route to the mouth of
the Ouithlacoochee, where they expect to em
bark for New Orleans, on their way home
’This movement will enable me to strike at the
two chiefs mentioned above, and to cover the
frontier, but had I the control of my measures,
I could employ the force to much more ad
vantage, in a succession of attacks alcng the
Ocklawaha, and thence down the Ouithla
coochee.

Last Thursday evening, at the Tremont
Theatre, a scene in real life was presented
which had not been promised in the hills for
the night. A gentleman of venerable years
and respectable appearance was seated with
his lady in one of the front boxes to witness
Power’s comicalities in Teddy the Tiler.
Near the close of the pie'ce, a servant comes
in and announces that 1 ' 5 the house is on fire.
When this was said, the stranger sprang
u-.on his feet in great terror, and called lo th.- I
lady who was immediately before him. “The
house is on fire.” The lady jumped upon the
seat she had occupied, and the two were
endeavoring to reach the box door, when Mr.
U. who was in the box, laid his hand upon |
the shoulder of the stranger and told him it i
was in the play. “Shall we have tune to get <
out?” asked the stranger, exhibiting in his
countenance the reality and measure ot his
terror. <lt is'in the play.” said J/r. U. “Do ,
you think we can escape?’ demanded the ,
stranger. “Make youself easy; there is no fire. i
replied Mr. U. After a full explanation, the i
stranger was made to understand that he had <
no cause for alarm, and the terrified couple 1
sat down to witness the termination of the I
uiece. . <
The greater part of the audience-wore too
much engaged with the progress ot Teddy the
Tiler to notice this accidental acene, and those
in the neighborhood had too much good man
ners to turn the terror of the stranger into ridi
cule. — Boston Atlas.
GA’IBt.ISf; IN LOSBOS.
A work has recently made its appearance,
entitled the “Great Metropolis,” in which is
described a noted place, called Crockford’s
Gaming House where the nobility resort. The
keeper,who now mingles in the highest Circles,
was formerly an illiterate and vulgar fish-mon-
I ger, but has risen to great wealth by his estab,
iishmen. It is stated of him. that he is ready
at any moment to accept, of a challange to
play any nobleman or gentleman for a stake
of £109,000. The following is the manner
of proceeding, on the introduction bf a new
comer:—
“When a pigeon is caught, it is very unusual
to pluck him the first few nights. They allow
i him to go on winning for some time. They
continue to obtain information as to the extent
of his resources. They regulate their move
ments accordingly. It matters not, though he
be not well supplied with the ready; if his
prospect of succeeding to a large fortune be
i undeniably good, Crockford’s bank is at his
service to nearly the full amount—supposing
it were £50,000 —of what he is understood to
be certain of succeeding to. Some years ago
Lord C paid down 100,000 pounds on fiis
coming of age, for debts of honor he had con
tracted at Crockford’s. Some idea may be
formed of the extent of Crockford’s establish
ment, and of the style in which it is kept up,
when I mention that no fewer than thirty-three
servants are constantly employed in it. There
is one set of waiters for the day, and another
for the night. They are decorated in the
richest livery, and live in excellent style. They
are amazingly polite to those who use thd
place; in other words, they perfectly under
stand their business. They contribute their
quota, with the splendour of the place, the
sumptuous suppers, and the delicious wines;
to help on the Hates on their way to rifim
The hour at which the hazard room is thrown
open is eleven o’clock, and the dice are in
immediate requisition. Crockford himself at
this moment takes his station in a corner of
the room, before a little desk; from that he
I never stirs till tfie playing is over. He acts
; on such occasions as his own clerk. No per
■ sou belonging to the establishment is allowed,
in any circumstances, or under any pretext,
b&L.™!4Ltcr the room while the gamblers are at
toute-JIZr. Page, who acts as inspector,
Bfeaer l he ganies are going
hers' 11 ’ ‘ s i n co
e noblemen who frequent
| that house, mid though paid tor
his services—some say, at the rate of fifty
I guineas per week—he can hardly be said to
be oneof Crockford’s servants. In Crockford’s
very large sums are played for with cards;
but it is at the hazard table, when the game is
French hazard, that the work of plunder is
carried on on the extensive scale. Seven
years ago one pigeon was plucked, in a few ■
hours, to the tune of £59,000 —the stakes were I
£ I J,OOO. It is only three years since Lord
C .the grandson of an aged Noble Earl,
lost £30,000 in one night. The wirniei was
la Noble Marquis, of sporting notoriety, who
I according to report, was at that time, if not
I now, a part proprietor of the establishment.
Losses 0f£5,000, £7,000, and 10,000 in one
j night, are by no means uncommon when a
rich Hat is caught. The public appearance
of no young nobleman, for many years pasi, ‘
has excited so much interest at CVoCkford’a '
as that of the Duke of Buccleuch, The tin- ;
mouse wealth into the possession of which
they knew he would come when of age, Was
too tempting a prize to be overlooked.—Every
effort was accordingly made to decoy him
into the great hell of St. James’; but it would
not do. lie never evinced the least disposition
for plav.”
Os this establishment the following anecdote j
is relaicd:—“One in June last Lord Ashgrove I
lost £4,000, which, he observed to the Earl of j
Linkwood, was the farthing of ready cash at |
his command.—The Noble Lord, however, >
had undeniable prospective resources. Ex- j
cuse me, mv Lud, said Crockford’s, making |
a very clumsy bow, but still it was the best at j
his disposal—‘excuse me, my, lud, did I hear |
you say as how you had no more readv money? [
J/y lud, this ere is the Lank;(poiuting to the
bank;) ifyourludshtp wishes it£Looo £3,000
is quite at your ludship’s service.’ ‘Really
Mr. {’rockford, you are very obliging; but
I shall not play any more to night.’—‘Ash
grove,’ said Ccnrit Whiskero, ‘Ashgrove do
accept .Mr. Crock turd’? liberal oiler of£2,000;
perhaps you may win buck all you have lost.’
—Nothing. 1 assure your ludship, will give
me greater pleasure than to give the money,’
said Cf’oclirord, —‘Well let me ,£2.000.’
Crockford dipped his fingers into the bank,
took out £2,000, and handed it to his ludship.
‘Perhaps your ludship will pbleege me with
a 1 O U, and pay the amount at your convert- 1
lence.’— ‘ 1 shall be able to pay it you in a
couple of months,’said his lordship, banding
the ex-fishmonger the I O U.—‘Your lordship
is worry kind—werry,’—Lord Ashgrove re
sumed the game; in an hour and a half he was >
again pennyless.”

GI&RGU FEMALE COLLEGE,
HE exercises of this lustitution
I* >, 'l\4? A will be resumed oil Monday the
16ih January, 1837.
From the flattering encouragement wc have
received during the present year, we have
made every exertion, and have succeeded in
enmunng the services of first rare teachers in
the several departments of the institution.— ,
Thev bring with them testimonials ofreligious
character and literary attainments from ma- |
ny of the most influential gentlemen in the i
United States.
We have made arrangements to have a j
Steward’s Hall attached to the institution, us
the head of which will be Mrs. D'ESTE, an ’
elderlv lady, whose domestic habits and expe- .
rience in the government of young ladies, are ■
very highly extolled. We have beenk-dlo
this step, from the inconvenience which young
ladies experience in going to and coming from
their boarding houses during inclement weath- ■
er; from tbo time they Jose, owing to the do- '
rnestic arrangements of other houses, not cor- '
responding with our own; for the sake of hav
ing all the young lad ies, at all times, under the
supervision of the teachers, as many of them
are disposed to neglect their studies, and be
come careless of tlitiir manners and language
when not subjected to such a check; and, final
ly. the teachers cannot feel themselves as re
sponsible for thoSe who board elsewhere, as ;
for those who board with them. We do not j
wish to be understood as dictating to our pat
rons, but respectfully submit the above hints to
their sober consideration.
A contract has been made for having com
t pleted early in the ensuing year, a Female
Gymnasium, fbr physical education.
Yiung ladies who may desire to speak the
French language, will have uncommon advan
tages afforded them here. Mrs. D’Este was
educated in France—is a lady of superior ac
complishments; and speaks French and Eng
lish with equal facility.

OI Ihe matier three-fourths (say 225 pp.)
I shall consist of regular Reviews; making about
9ot 2.) pp each. These lhust,as literary works
at least, return as a general rule, somewhat to
wards that older method, now almost fofgotteri
and give a regular analysis of t.he hook reviewed;
it it bent any merit, in Politics and upon Oc
casional Topics, there may be a greater liberty
of deviating into mere disquistitiou.
In this portion of the Review, thebe will be
given, in each No. a paper historical ttf the
Politics and general events o| the day; tti
serve as a Historical Register. Its yxecutibff
will alway be committed to the strongest litipfU
only; and its purpose, to give a unity ilhd ff'Jfii
sistency to the Public Doctrines of the Review
such as can scarcely be so well effected in atty
other manner;
Occasional Retrospective Reviews Wil) alsb lid
; embo ied in this part of the plan, with a vifcW
ol’favoring, in a certain degree, thri more CUri
ous studies; or to revive the knowledge of im
portant. books, forgotten in tile conftislbn oi
modern learning.
Writers will be led, of regu Id J purpose to jfivd
their papers, wherever the sitbjfec) will permit;
the form of a Series; in older not Only thift they
may thus afford a completer body of information;
1 serve, also, to re-print apiir t; for popular circu-’
lation; a method that will mticli augment both
the reputation ami usefulness Os the Review.
A body of Wiscellanies(stiy some 50 pp'.) will
form the subordinate and more amusil’g pari
of the Journal. Its contents will HU eoffiewhat
various: but will, for the most part; Oorisist of
short Literary Notices; Bibliograpical Articles;
a critical list of New Publications, foreigri and
domestic, and general Literary, Intelligence.
In C'ommunicalions, the most compre9«ed
mode of writing will be every where required.
Papers, in which the works do not bear s jtl®
proportion to the information conveyed or tile
effect intended, will be rit het rejected; Without
scruple, or abridged, without therey.
To warrant this exaction, the usual rate of
compansation to writers will be advanced to
1 2 1-2 dollars per printed page; a price that will
■ offer fair remuneration to the talents and labof
. which we wish to sbeure.
Os this revival of a Review of the South, the
purpose is, to give once more taoui’ region, (now
eminently needing it) an Interpret!# and a De
fender; the common Representative of our In
stitutions, ami of the Mind itsef among us. Such
in that great Congress of Opinion, where the
fates of civilized nations are now so largely
settled, we do not possess and wb have already
suffered much tbr it. It is tinifilo make bur
selves understood and respected there. The
Journal which shall do this, must combine the
general strength oi all who, throughout the.
South, love the country, and are capable of
, doing it mtcllected service. It iilust, then,be;
I not the champion or the propagandist of local
I opinions, but the friend of all tfiat pursue the
I public good. Into the Vulgar nitthodsof Poli
. tics, debased by Partizan rancour, or corrupted
j by the interest, or overborne by the popular
I passion of the hour, it must not fall.— From it,
' the pride of the Nul'.ifier juuts receive no di
' niinution.the fidelity of the Unionis fid teproach.
—lt must be 110 vanttige-grourifl io either part;
; nor serve but as an equal field; where they will
’ only contend which shall most advance the
cause of the South, and of that older doctrine
’ 1 of Jeffersonian Stale Rights, avowed by both
: part ies alike, and now the only hope of rallying
and of rescuing the country.
I To vindicate, than, our peoular Ihstituiton»{
to rebel with argument, lest presently we be
forced to rebel with arms, all interference with
our domestic condition; against the wild rule
of mere Chance and Corruptich, to uphold a
> Republican and Federative, as distinguished
i from a Democratic and Consolidating Adminis
tration futmiuistration of the National affairs:
from the disorders of the Central government—
■ I Where Reform is hopeless ami even useless;
till you have given yoursehfS stronger and
i wiser local systems —to iliteet thd public view
j towards a home policy of the State; capable;
i through itself! to confer upon us the blessings of
well-ordered Liberty, expected in vain from tha
Federal Power: from the delusions o 4 Party

! prosperous Commonwealths; to attach men;
I,f possible.to their birth-place,and convert them;
1 from wandering and selfish adventurers, inW
J citizens, the lovers of civilization: to re-animate
public spirit, and give it purpose, as well m
energy; to hold, over Parties and Politicians, tbs
tribunal of a Public Opinion tar different from
i that idle and corrupt, one. of which the News
papar Press is tin. voice; for tlicsti putpokes; td
I diffuse through the laud sound and well con-
J sidered public doctrines, with Knowledge and
Taste, their natural allies such will be the gen
) era! aim ol that. literary league, among the best
1 talepts of the country, which has been set on
’ foot, in the present undertaking.
I Os its critical purposes,it is not nedessary Id
speak so minutely. In general, it will of course;
I strive to guide the popular taste towards the
’ best sources, in Knowledge, and the truest
I models in Elegant Letters. Its judgments will
however, found themselves Upon dent of his
j temporary renown, not that of his birth on
! this or the other side of the Atlantic. Towards
the few good Writers, that want of cultivation
! has yet permitti'd us to have, in America, li will
'.now how to be respectiul. Butin Literature,
i as lately in Trade, we shall insist that no man’s
; bad commodity be forced upon us, under pat-
I riolic pretences. Upon all that school of wri
■ ters, whose works, fi r want of evary other
merit, attempt to make themselves Uht; out of

sparing war will he waged; nbf lees upon that
