THE SOUTHER* CAMPAIGN. In the Repulhcan of yesterday, we gave place ’n apiece signed “Abistidea,” No. 3—to-day we present our readers with No. 1, which was acci dentally mislaid: which clearly accounts for t{ie transposition.—(Ed Suvunnr.fi Repub. NO. 1. TO TBS 'BMTOBS Of TBS NASHVILLE WHIO, 1 So much has been said and written al •ready, in relation to the uccupation of Pen mcole, by the troops of the United States lately under the command of general Jack ton, that any new light upon the subject, is, at this hour, scarcely to he expected.— Considering what has passed in the coun oils of the nation touching our foreign re J ptions; that a association is pending be ween the United States and Spain, in the course of whicli, the Floridas are likely to {la brought under consideration; and re collecting the course previously taken by thS Executive in relation to Amelialsland, afnl appendage of Florida and belonging to Spain, and that too with the approbation of congress: adverting to these facts I say, it' -seems difficult to account, for the unusual •|tft«re*t f anil-Apparent feelings, which are . itinnifested by some editors of newspapers, in relation to this subject. Most.of these editors, assume it as a fit •subject to little disputation, that in this affair, the president of the United States, or general Jack&on, has acted in a manner -incompatible with the highly responsible duties impmed by the office, which they res pectively hold in our government. Tak ing the statement in the National Intelli gencer, of July 27th, to be correct, and which seems to be-considered as a semi official expose of the case, it manifestly ap pears, that the foregoing supposition is wholly untenable; and that in its adoption •there has existed some defect of investiga tion, or some design in the concealment of facts, which, alone can furnish the basis of any reasonable conclusion in this affair It is indeed, curious to remark by what varied ami dissimilar reasoning, different individuals have forcibly arrived at the •same conclusion. The president has done much too little, or general Jackson has •done a great deal too orach, in the conduct of the Seminole war! Though, differing in every thing else, in this conclusion most appear to agree; and lawyer-like having made up an issue between general Jackson and the president, one, or the other, must be greatly in the wrong! The president has failed to give the order to the general, necessary for the protection of the county, nr the general has violated his duty as an officer of the army, in exceeding such or tiers as he actually did receive from the executive. Let us examine the verity of those in ductions, so confidently announced, ay thr -ifist of facts, as they have appeared, and see, what foundation is afforded, to support the seemingly ' fashionable conclusions, which have been drawn from them by some editors of newspapers in different parts of the union. In relation to the presidents instruc tions, to general Jackson, it should be re collected, that the four orders, alluded to in. the Intellgencer, were in all probable -conjecture, directed to general Gaines; who ihad the command of our troops, on the •Georgia frontier, before general 'Jackson •was ordered to repair to that quarter. In •the latter part of December, major Bank- bead, by the command of government, took possession of Amelia Island, to which place,general Gaines, commanding in that •quarter, is understood to have been order ed to proceed. Early in the succeeding •year of 1817, the war commenced with the Seminole Indians, and the repetition •of indiscriminate massacre and pillage, committed upon the unprotected and un offended frontier inhabitants, claimed and called forth the energies of the government, to stay the tomahawk and scalping knife, Already red with the blood of Americans; and which still threatened to be the source of additional calamity. The hostility of -the SeminolcTndiaus, which was consid ered in it* commencement, as the irregu lar and desultory, incursions of a horde of. •murderers and free hooters, at length how ever, assumed a more serious, and perhaps •unexpected aspect. The president at the .least, considered it of a character 6o im ' portint, as to order general Jackson, who was in the military command of one half of the nation, to p'roceed from his Head quarters at Nashville, and personally 'to direct the movements of the army. This order to general Jackson, must doubtless have been accompanied by in structions fromthc executive, to employ -alt lawful means to put an effectual ter mination to the Seminole war; a war, which in its commencement was marked by great crueliy and outrage, and which, in its pro- egress, was daily acquiring a much more • formidable and ^distressing character— Under these circumstances, we repeat, it •was, that thepresident though tit necessary to engSHWruthe-warmoch additional force, and to order general Jackson in person, to taka command of the troops, in such A state of thiags, if cannot reasonably - be AimpoW^f but that the character of general Jackson’s orders'from the executive, was' marked by a latitude and decision, which' the consummation of it*object necessarily demanded. It is hence we conclude, and we deem with an irresistible presumption for its support, that general Jackson must have been invested in the outset of the campaign, with every authority, which might be lawfully employed, for the spee dy termination of this embarassing and savage warfare. It is stated, that “no alteratives were left to the U. States, but to have our fron tiers exposed to the mercy of savages, or to carry the wariu Florida; and thus to do for Spain, what she confessed hciself, un able to do for herself, by terminating by joree, the hostility of the savages.” A fourth order was issued by the government, to this effect, and directing “that if the In dians should take refuge under a Spanish fort, not to attack them in that situation, but t* report the case to the department of war.” It must at all times be kept in mind, that m»^ of toe savages, with whom the Uuited Slates, were at this tune at war had their residence within the territorial Jim • its of Florida; that we were in peace un.i ■amity with the Spanish government; ait«: that there existed a treaty between tire United States and Spain, in whicli it is ex pressly stipulated by the latter power, that they will “restrain by force, all hostil ities on the part of the luikan nations, liv ing within their boundary.” Such being the relatiops existing at the time, between the United States and the Spanish gov eminent, and negociations pending be tween tne two nations, forbid, the antici pation, that the subjects of the Spanish king inhabiting the Floridas, would as sume an attitude; in the least hostile to the United States. For it is a fair anil correct presumption, that nations, as well as^ individuals, will act correctly anil faithfully in the observance of their enga gements, so lar as they are able: and hence tho’ the president knew that the Indians iiving within the limits of Floiida, robbed and murdered our frontier inhabitants lie could not have anticipated, that it had been done by the advice, assistance, insti gation, or connivance of Spanish subjects inhabiting these provinces. The laws of humanity and the relationships of amity existing between the two nations, not only forbid such a course on the part of the citizens of Florida, but they were engaged by solemn treaty with the United States to restrain the Indians living within their territories, from the commission of any violations upon the inhabitants of the Ame rican States, in their vicinage. In this supposition then, resulting from the relationships between the two nations, that the subjects of Spain were at the least neutral, if not friendly in relation to the United States, this order, to respect the Spanish forts, in case the savages should take refuge under them, not in them, was issued to the cominainling general. To have received the hostile savages in their forts, and hence to have protected them against their enemies, would have been an act of war, on the part of Spain or her of ficers; which could not, by the president, have been foreseen. This order, there fore to die general, to respect the Spanish forts, was founded of course, on the basis, that the Spanish subjects and authorities in Florid;i, were persuing a course of neu trality, at the least, in the progress of the war. If that had not been the case, but the Sp'oish province had been aiding and assisting the hostile Indians, in the conduct of the war, the o.-der restrictive of the mnind discretion of the general, could not have, existed, but, hetiad been left at liber ty, to select all lawful means as dictated !>y passing incidents, for the purpose of •.fleeting the express object of the cam paign; viz. the ejjectutzl termination of the Seminole war. The necessary object of all wars rightfully begun, is to put an end to it; or in other words, to procure peace: and that is necessarily implied, if not ex pressed, in the orders of the executive: which confers by necessary”implication. upon the commanding general, all powers, compatible with the laws of nations, ami the usages of war. If the sovereign an-, thority designs to limit the means to be employed by its officer, in the conduct of the war, it is proper, and it is rightfully expected, that those restrictions, should be specially and clearly expressed. And hence, when not made, it would be unrea sonable to suppose, that any restraint was intended, which in its effect upon the offi cer, would have defeated the main objects to be obtained by his agency.

A singular coincidence has occurred in the last voyage of the Courier: in coining out of Liverpool, she met the Pacific, one of the line, going into that port on Saturday afternoon she met the Amity, another of tne line, going out.

' “Admiral Brion with his fleet, and Ber mudas with his army, have lately taken La Gueria, and with concentrated forces are ab.mt to inarch along the coast to at tack Cumana. “Bermudas is at Caiiaco, between Corupano and Cumana, about 5 Spanish leagues distant from the latter place, which he will attack as soon as Brion is ready to co-operate from the sea side. This news has been communicated to me by persons on whom some reliance can be placed. At the same lime Morillo is attacked on all sides in the interior, so that at a time when the royalists though to rest and prepare for the next campaign, they are, notwith- standing the valleys are under water, at tacked in their very fortresses. This vigorous and bold conduct on the side of the patriots, is said to be solely owing to their chiefs having come to a good under standing with one another, and seen at last the necessity of a perfect union, to which may be added the considerable sup plies in arms and amunition which they have lately received from England. “An officer in the patriot army writes from Augusturaon the 10th ol last month, “That Marino, wlui hitherto had acted in dependent of Bolivar and others, had ac knowledged Bolivar as chief of the Re public, as all the other patriot generals “had done before, and that lie had joined “hearty in the general plan of attack with “his 1500 well disciplined troops. Paiz is “at Fernandez de Apura with 2000 men, “amongst them 300 English cavalry. Pe des is now in the plains of Varinas with “2000 men. Sarassa with about 2000 “men chiefly cavalry, inthe plains of Car- “accas, who are every where harassing the “Spaniards, not withstanding the inunda tions. Prisoners are brought in here daily “and if the present plan is followed up, the ■“royal army will soon be destroyed. Ber- “mudas is to act with Brion on the sea “coast, dftrl Bolivar is collecting here and “in the plans called “Los Missiones,” an “army of about S000 men, which is organ izing under general Anzuati. A great “number of foreign officers are daily arriv “ing from all partsofthe world. Foreign ers are in general treated here very bad “by every body, (with the exception of the “corps under the brave Paiz) but particu larly so the English on account of their “arrogant pretensions, and bad conduct. “Colonel Wilson an Englishman, has late ly been condemned to imprisonment for “life, it having heen proved that lie at tempted to persuade general Paiz to se ‘paratefrom Bolivar, he has been sent to “the fort at Guyana.”* “Ifi all these accounts are true, I have very little donbt.tliat if the patriot chiefs remain united, Venezuela will be cleard of the royalists in the course of the next campaign, unless they should receive strong reinforcements from old Spain, which however, is not likely. I under stand there is a proclamation in town made by Bolivar, as chief of the republic, dated 15th August in which he promises victory &c. and calls on all patriots fora cordial co-operation, particularly on the i people of Grenada; which he intends to attack. May it-please the Almighty soon to stop the horrible bloodshed in these un fortunate provinces. “A few days ago arrived here, captain Brown, of tne schooner Eliza of New-- York; this schooner was bound from here to Rio de l^<Iatch or St. Martha. Near the coast she was overhauled by a royal Spanish privateer, commissioned by the governor of Rio de la Iiatcha^ who wan tonly fired into her after having taken in all sail. While the captain was in bis. boat, going from his schooner on board the privateer, thejr were pouring volleys of musketry at him, and on boarding the Eliza, one of the Spaniards deliberately took aim at, and shot a Mr. Williams, part owner of the Eliza, through the heait!!!— They then plundered the vessel, and car-, ried her into Rio de la Hatcha, where cap tain Brown made a protest, and got part of the things stolen from him restored, iiis schooner was so torn to pieces, that he had to sell her. I understand captain Brown has made the proper communications to the president of the United States, and 1 hope such a foul murder will not be suffer ed to pass, without proper satisfaction be ing given and the injury, as far as possi ble refreshed to the family of this unfortu nate nan.” Port ao Prince—that ChristopUeteft 4000 men killed on the field, &c. “I give you this as well as oil other news, as 1 received ityalways taking care to give you only that which is generally credited here.” TnE MACEDONIAN PUT BACK. Norfolk, Oct. 12. On Saturday afternoon, arrived at this port in distress, the U. S. frigate Macedo nian, John Downes^ esq. commander, having been dismasted in a hurricane, whicn she experienced on Sunday the 27th of September, in lat. 35, long, 55. The Macedonian sailed from Boston on the 20th Sept, bound for the Pacific- Ocean, and completely equipped for a two yearns cruise. Nothing material occurred until the 27th, when, as they were hourly ex peeling to fall into the trade winds, and antiepating a quick run to the Brazil Coast, they were suddenly overtaken bv the most tremendous hurricane ever know n to the oldest seaman on beard, which lasted about 15 hour9,and left their gallant ship ajnis erable wreck. The tempest is represen ted to have been indescribably awful, and the situation of the Macedonian perilous in the extreme; in the early part of it William Wilkins, captain of the mizen top, an exellent seaman, and a worthy young man, was unfortunately knocked overboard by the mizen staysail sheet, and drowned. This was the only casualty that occurred among the crew. Previous to the sailing of the Macedo nian from Boston, she had undergone i thorough overhauling and repair; and the trim in which she left that port could scarcely be exceeded; but .how altered—; after being only 6 days at sea, she returns to port with no other vestige of her former * 1 grandeur than her “wooden walls,” and in appearance, precisely as she entered the f iort of New-York when a prize to the gal ant Decatur.—Herald. order'ta ascertain whefher oil would bits on water, touched a fire brand to that oa the creek; instantly it was in . a tremend- - ous flame; which ascended *200 feet in the air, nearly a mile up and down the stream,' I saw limbs of trees which were nearly 100 feet high, burnt off as if the blaze of a fur nace had struck them.

Extract of s letter dated Woodivilie,-Ohio, July 7, 1818, to his friend in Bolton, Connecticut. In the remainder -of -this letter I shall give you an account of a natural curiosity in the state of Ohio; and rest assured I shall give you nothing exaggerated. Three weeks since’ Aaron B. Jones, esq. George Jones, his brother, and myself, mounted our horses, taking with us a companion, and directed our course south weBt from this place, through a wilderness for thirty miles, until we arrived on the banks of Duck Creek. On the north east branch of of said creek in lat. 38 deg. 39 min. we found an Old Spring.. This is one of the greatest curiosities in nature: It is in the form of a well. I set myself down on the brink of it to make observations, which shall be given as nearly as I can describe with iny pen. The well is about seven feet from the ed"e of the creek. It has been afcuratel^ascertained to be torty- two feet deep from the suriace of the ground to the bottom, and is three feet in diameter at the top. A piece of large but ton wood tree has been hollowed >out and placed for a curb on the top to prevent people from falling into it. The oil boils up continually, like the boiling of a large soap-kettle, and runs into the creek in a small stream. It is as fine as any spfrm oil from the head of a sperm whale. The quautity which rises is about five barrels a week. I followed the creek up auil down nearly three miles, and found it complete ly covered with oil. 1 found an old ladie lying near which 1 dipped into the oil and forced it down into the water, and found the oil to be three feet deep 1 drew out with the ladle as fine salt water as 1 ever tasted in the ocean. J then tried tbe good- nestrof the oil, and found it t<> burn clear and bright, A boy, a few weeks since, in CONNECTICUT CONSTITUTION.

A novel occurrence attracted the atten tion of our city on Wednesday last. An emigrant from South-Carolina to the Ala bama territory, attended the clerk’s office in conformity with a law of our state, and registered a number of slaves he was car rying with him to bis place of destination. Upon examination it was discovered that a white child, about three years of age was included in his return of slaves to the clerk’s office. This circumstance excited considerable interest, and the cavalcade of the emigrant was immediately surrounded byacruwd of eager and enquiringeitizens: the child was exhibited to them—The con formation of its system—the “pure and el oquent blood which spoke” through its fine complexion—left no doubt, of its origin, and involuntarily created a fellow sympa thy in its behalf. The man was taken be- f ire a magistrate, where he entered a re cognizance for his appearance at our next superior court. The child was committed to the care of a gentleman in this place, with whom it will remain until the result of a judicial investigation.
