I hope I have made hiyself perfectly under
stood. Ldo not mean to say that horse racing
is the creed of any r'eligioos sector denomina
tion. I do not mean to condemn those who
•disapprove of it. I do believe- that it "has a
tendency to give us better plough, saddlii, and
harness horses, and finally, 1 do believe that
the anathemas which,l am told, have been lately
thundered forth from the pulpit, unmerited and
inpdlitic, and that the evil, if one, js not likely
to be remedied by denun,elation, but if a reform
can be accomplished, it will be rather by argu
ment and persuasion.

INDIAN HOSTILITIES!
’ Latest Intelligence from the Theatre of
War.
We insert a copy of a letter from Col
onel Warren to General Clinch, which
will be read with great interest—judging
from the proportion of slain and wounded,
the engagement was a severe one. Our
anxiety is great to hear further particular,
and to know the names of the five.’*’*’ l1 * 11 ,
whose names are put down in the "otter as
unknown.
This letter contains our latest intelli
gence, except a report just arrived, that two,
“of the wounded . are since dead—that
Weeks, one of the above, who belonged to
the Mandarin Company, fired at the Indi
ans thre times—twice after he had receiv
ed several balls, the last discharge made
when he down, —killing an Indian
that hadjumped into one of the wagons,—
and that Capt. McLemore had two horses
shot under him How much truth is in
this report we cannot pretend to say.
Head Quarters, )
Fort Cram, Dec. \Qlh 1835. )
Sir —the troops under my command,
took up the line of march on yesterday
morning, to scour out-the Wacahouta and
adjacent hammocks, and not wishing to
be encumbered with baggage, I despatch
ed baggage wagons to take the direct
route for Wetumpka, via Micanopy; on
arriving at the Kanopaha, prairie, I im
mediately took Capt. McLemore’s and
Capt. Lancaster’s companies, pursued
on the trail, and on arrival at Benj. War
ren’s, found his house in flames; passing
on we found that a body of Indians, fifty
or sixty in number, had attacked and cap
tured our baggage as it passed over the
Prairie, and set the wagon on fire. The
1 Officer in command of the baggage train
| with several of the esoort had retired to
I Micanopy, and I have not been able to as-
I certain correctly, what loss has been sus-
I tained : two Sergeantsand four men have
I returned into Camp unhurt, and one Ser-
I geant and one private belongingtoCaptain
I M’Lemore’s Company, mortally wounded,
I still lingers at this fort. lam not able to
I make a mqre correct return, as lam tin-
I advised ofthe numbers who have escaped
I to Micanopy, but will make a more full
I return as'soon as possible. By this un-
■ fortunate affair alt our ammunition; surgi-
■ cal instruments. &c. are lost.
I Gen. Call, with his reinforcement, is
■ expected here today, and as lam
I that the whole body of Indians are in the
■ Wacahouta and adjacent hammocks; the
■ sign is great, and from the force seen in
■ different parties, we are assured that they
■ are all here. I think it advisable that you
■ send all the regular force, to co-operate
■ with us immediately. The fighting is to
■ be done here. We are in want ofainmuni-
■ tion and camp equipage, having, as 1 be-
■ fore stated, lost all in our wagons
■ JOHN WARREN.
■ Col. and Com. Mil. in service.
■ Gen. D. L. Clinch.
. P. S. Killed, Serg t. 11 tint, privates Til
lis and U. Roberts, and five osiers not
known. Abounded six, one, irim-tally.
(Weeks,) escaped sixteen, five horses
killed, six wounded.
Gen. Call has just arrived in
With 250 men, and. assumed the entire
command.
A report has.also arrived, that the In
dians were penned in a- hammock in the 1
Prairie, and that, on Monday last, firing
was heard, and a general engagement had
taken place.
The mail rider, from Micanopy via
Newnansville, who arrived here,on Sun
day morning last, one day later than the
mail was due, repotted that he saw on his
I route fresh signs of Indians, and that he
might probably have been “picked off”
by them had he not joined a company of
persons with whom he travelled as far as ;
Black C reek. He said every dwelling !
I is abandoned by the inhabitants on the
I road from Black Creek to Newnansville,
I and to Micanopy, also from Newnansville
I to Aligator, and from Picolata, and Palat-
I ka to Micanopy. Picolata is the highest
I point on the St. Johns utiabttndoned by the
I inhabitants. The rider brought also the
I first intelligence of the attack of house
I of Mr. Simmons.
I The following letter from Col Mills to
I a gentleman in this place, gives probably
I a more correct version ofthe attack.
I Hevd Quarters, (near Fort Crum) )
I 12 o'clock at night, \1 th, Dec. 1835. )
I Sir—lntelligence has arrived in Camp,
I that about 30 Indians made an attack on
I Mr.'Simmon’s house, on the Palatka road
I about *8 miles from Micanopy, and 20
I from the Camp. They rushed on the
I house with furious yellsand heavy firing;
I but Simmons and J.Carr and two others;
I Who happened to be there, barred up the
I house and defended themselves until day-
I light—when the Indians took a drove W
I fat hogs out of the pens and drovethem off’.
I Immediately Captains SumeralTs and
■ Gibson’s companies were despatched oft'
I at 20 minutes notice, (with Carr to show
■ the trail,) and with orders to pursue and
■ destroy the Indians wherever found.
■ VVe march on for Wacahouta in the
■ morning, where it is reported that a great
■ show of Indians is seen. Further I have
■ not time to say. Yours truly
■ W, J MILLS.
I We have not yet heard any thing, in
■ reference to the success of the detachment
■ under Capt. Sumcrall and Capt. Gibbons,
■ despatched in pursuit of them.

i UNFOUNDED and scanda
o " LOUS REIXIRT..
a - Recently it.bas pleased’sprne calumnia
tors to circulate injurious and libelous.
t reports respecting the stability ofthe AX'
r chanic’s Bank bfAugUst i. These reports
I i have caused many to believe t lf i this
c , Bank was unable to redeem its Hilf-. It
j is quite evident that some private pique
against the Mechanic’s Batik Ms induced
the circulation of that unfounded slander.
Since we have heard thisjbport, We have
, examined the state qftMTßa’hk. as exhi
bited in the last semiannual statement of
f its concerns and operations, and we assure
' our friends and th/public generally that
that Bank is oqKof the soundest, ifnotthe
very soundest Bank iu Georgia. There
1 is no banking institution in that state, more
' desvrviyg of confidence, and none in a
i.iore. Secure condition.
But a few days ago it declared a divi
dend at the rate of 8 per cent, per share;
and its stock is sought after at a high
premium. The stock holders in that in
stitution are, mostly, men of great wealth ;
residents of this State as well as Georgia,
dnd their private property is held respon
sible for the liquidation,of ev#ry bill the
Bank has now in circulation, if any dej
falcation should happen in its operations?*
The Mechanic’s Bqnk has never refu
sed specie for its bilhf, when demanded-;
and those who are fl all doubtful of its
stability, can easily be satisfied by apply
ing to the -Bank with any amount of its
Bills and they will receive gold and sil
ver for every cent/’
We have madef-the above remarks in
sheer justice to one of the best Banking
institutions in Georgia, and for no other
purpose. We are opposed to the circula
tion of Georgia money in this state, to the
extent it has formerly been carried, but al
though so opposed, we will be among the
first to expose any vindictive slanders
which may be prorogated against them.
If the matter Was thoroughly investigated,
and the authgr of the report detected, we
hardly hazard a donbtbut that it wouldbe
found to have resulted in the most con
temptible and dastardly rntdignity,

From the Georgetown Metropolitan.
On Thursday last our citizens had an
opportunity of witnessing a most heart
thrilling spectacle, the ascent of the Tight
Rope, in the open air, by a little girl of
not yet nine years of age. According to
his advertisement, Signor Sciarra appear
ed on the spot appointed, at about two o’
clock, with his daughter, and after per
forming a variety of astonishing feats of
equilibrium, he placed the balancing pole
in her hand, and she began the giddy as
sent. ; She was a bright-eyed graceful,
lovely liule creature, and in the fanciful
dress she Wore, as she steadily and light
ly trode the cord, she seemed more like a
beautifullittle spirit, whose proper path is
on a. sunbeam through the air, than a
mortal’s child. A stillness almost breath
less reigned through the crowd assembled
beneath and many of the countless eyes
that followed her lon j and. pe s path,
were blind by -he iri-
tensp emotion of the moment drew forth.
She never faltered nor swerved a hair’s
breadth from her steady bntc
increasing in rapinii’as she isSendei;
higher she. was at length received inter
t >e third story wthdrfw in which her fath
er awaited her, ns safe as she had left the
ground. Ihe crowd would not permit
her to return, —much, as she told us, to
her disappointment.

made yesterday, and” argued, to release
him on hail. It seems, bower, that he
has not uefen bailed, the District Attorney
urging thatiArthur Tappan and his coad

any amount for him; and further, that the

that he coMld not quit the prison without
