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. OSBALDISTONE. From the Jacksonville (E.F.) Courier, -25th inst 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. - Froffi the Aiken Telegraph. 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. From the Correspondence of the-Charleston Courier, WASHINGTON, DEC. 22. “VV bile the Senate were yesterday dis cussing the question ofthe reference of: the subject o-f Incendiary Publications, I to aSpeciai Committee, our District Court | wat* engaged on a matter in close edn ; nection with i(.

It seems, bower, that he has not uefen bailed, the District Attorney urging thatiArthur Tappan and his coad jujutors, would readily put in bail to any amount for him; and further, that the vindictive disposition of the people a gainst him, had only slept until opportu nity should be offered it for action, and that he coMld not quit the prison without risk to his personal security.
