svar department, requesting ms to cause tu
iv detailed Irnin major general Floyd’:
(division, five hundred men, for ill* special
purpose of assisting in the reduction of
Amelia Island. Orders fur this purpose
were immediately given tv major general
Floyd, who viewing it, as l did, a case of
emergency; drew the whole of the requisi
tinn from the first brigade of his division
under the impression that their service
would be required on that occasion only.—
Before the organization of the troopscould
at? completed, Amelia Island fell into the
bauds of tnc regular force sent against it
General Floyd,notwithstanding, coinple
ted tne organization, and, without consult
hig me at ‘all, they were ordered to the
frontier different points. Some were
urdered to Hartford, to join the two regi
ments, which were (hen organizing to gn
against the Indians, agreebly to a request of
gen. Gaines. Aiming these was captain
Wright’s company, Trqm Savannah. At
the time they marched, however, the cap

'pany them, bat Shortly after followed on
to Hartford anil assumed (lie command of

since eppeanfc-hc had never been mustered

'Capttih Wright having tendered his scr

circumstances above mentioned, believin_
1 had the right to command him, they
were accepted. . f accordingly ordered
two companies of cavalry from two adja

ferent posts on the frontier, to rendezvous
a! Hartford, and report themselves to cap
tain Wright, and a/so directed captain
\V. to call on captain Bothwell, then in
the service of the United^tates, stationed
at Fort Early, for assistance, should it be
necessary. The only reason I have to of
fer for calling on the troops m the service
of the United States, is, the danger to
which the frontier ivas exposed, ami tin
necessity fyr putting a stop to the incur
sions of the savages; which could only be
'done by the destruction of their towns, in
order that the inhabitants might re

<Jjii I have the pleasure to inform vti
that my coinman,I has salely reached thi
place, having suffered some little for th
want of meat. The Gods have proved
equally propitious to us, on our return
on our advance (it Mickasuky. Some
my men were nearly out. of corn, anil
searching about some old nooses that had
not been consume,I, to sec if they cent 1
make any discovery, io entering one c
them, to tlteir great astonishment-anil sur
prize, they came across the man who was
lost from contain Wat kin’s company, on
the 2,1 of April. It appears, from his
statement, that he was taken with a kind
,,f ci amp, and was unable to move, and be
came senseless. When he recovered, hi
became completely bewildered, and never
could reach the camp; he, therefore, con
cluded it was prudent^" secrete himself
in some swamp, and afte.r wandering about
some time, came across a parcel of corn
on which lie subsisted until we foupd.hUn
he was very'mnch retliTcCtf; ami, apparent
jy, perfectly, wild. On that night Gray
Alruck a trajl, pursued it about a mile and
a halfec»inetto a small hut, which, fortun
utely contained 50 or 60 bushels of corn,
.some potatoes and peas, which enabled us
to react! the'Flint, opposite Chehaw vil

the place, I sent on major RobihsoJi, will

Minns had fled in every direction—the Che
haw town having been consumed about
four djays.bofore, by a party of men con
sisting of two hundred and thirty, under;
‘captain Wright, now in compiand at Mart
ford.
It appears that, after he Imd assume
die command of that place, lie obtaine,
the certificates of several men’u) the Iron
tier, that the Chehaw Indians were cn
gaged in a skirmish on the Dig I >-■ i >»I -—
He immediately sent or went to the go
vernor, and received orders to destroy th
tawns of Pilemme and Oponee. 1 tv
Companies of cavalry were immediately
ordered out and placed under his com
mand, and on the r 22tl .lie reached this
place. Ht ordered captain Bothwell, to
furnish hitn with 25 or 30 men to acrom
pany him, h •’Sing been authorized to do sv
;>y the governor. The order was dumplied
with. Captain Bothwell told him, that lie
could not accompany him, disapproved tne
plan, and informed captain Wright, th;i'
there could be no doubt Of ,tbc friendshij
if the Indians in that quarter; and stated
that Oponee bad brought in a pqjblic horse
that had been lost that day. This availed
nothing; mock patriotism burned in their
breasts; they crossed the river that night
and pushed for the town.—.WUvn .arrianl
there, an Indian was discovered grazing
some cattle: he was made a prisoner. I
am informed by sergeant Jones, that the
Indian immediately proposed,to go wit!; the
interpreter, and bring any of the chiefs for
the captain to talk with. It was not at
tended to. An advance was .ordered, the
cavalry rushed forward and comm iiced
the massacre. Even after the firing anu
murder commenced, major Howard,ah old
chief, who furnished you with corn, came
out of his house with a while Bag in front
of the line. It was not respected. An
order was given for a general fire, and
nearly 400 guns were discharged at him,
before one took effect—he fell, and was
bayoneted—his son was also killed, rhes
are the circuinstancesrelative to the trans
action. Seven men were killed, one w„-
nan and two children. Since then three
of my command, who are left at Fort Scott,
obtained a furlough,.and on their way one
was sliot, in endeavoring to obtain a canoe
o cross the Flint. I have sent an txpress
to tke officer commanding Fort Scott, ap
prizing him of the affair, and one to adju
taut Porter, to put him on his guard. Oi
arriving opposite Chehaw, I sent a runner
to get some of them in, and succeeded in
loing so. They are at a l»ss to know the
ause of the di-pleasure of the white peo
ple. Wolf has gone to the agen t to have
enquired into. Wc obtained Irom them
sufficient quantity of beef to .last us to

The following letter from governor

Sir: 1 have had .the honor tu receive,
vour letter of the 30th ultimo, containing
the determination of the president of the
United States, relative to the case of cap
tain Obed Wrigntjaud was highly grati

justice would have been adinioUt red.
I had determined tu detain him agreea

fully submitted him to the custody ot the

'd: hut the president’s instructions to the
district attorney were unfortunately made
public in the newspap-rs of Savanna?,, and
from them copied into others, and were

The debate, noticed in our last, 'wn*.
contrary to our expectation, re-umnl in
Georgia, ha- not done it- I cannot bring ,the Ionise of representatives yesterday,
‘' r ‘ ‘ * but did not prove as important, ill one res
pect. as was anticipated.
It appeared, in the course td the de
bate, tint Mr. Mercer had been misumler
stood, by others as well as by ns. to have
intimated an intention to introduce the
dis rnssion of the questions aii-ring out ol
the Seminole war, by a motion to amend
the military appropriation "bill, so as to
affect the pay of the major gene' als. It is
now understood, that the objectof Nlr. M
was, to postpone the bill under considera
tion until the report of the military com
mittee on the subject of the Seminole war
should have had an opportunity to try the
sense of the house on a motion t > instruct
the military committee to report a bill for
reducing tiie numb'-rof major generals
the army from two to one.
The discussion, then, of the subject of
the Seminole war will pot take place so
soon as was supposed; but indications
enough were afforded, by the hints thrown
out in the course of yesterday’s proceed
ings, that the deoate will, when it takes
places, engage the undivided attention
and the best talents of the hsuse.
For a more particular account of the
proceedings of yesterday, we must refer
the reader to a sketch of them which is
Attended to be given.—A'atidnal Intelli
~encer, 8th inst.
In the senate, there has been within the
last few days, an interesting discussion
on the important subject of the proposed
re-modification of- the judiciary of the
United States. It is impossible to say
what will eventually come of it: but the
general impression is, that the bill now-
before (he senate, for establishing a dis
tinct supreme court, will pass that body
without much alteration. '
The vice-president has taken his scat as
president of the senate.—ib.
BAKKOF THE UMTED STATES,
The Bank of the United States lias dc
dared a dividend of two and a half per
cent, on its capital stock for the half year
ending on the 4th instant.
It appears we were misinformed in
stating that Mr. Butler was nominated to
the senate, as one of the directors of the
bank of the United Stales for the ensuing
year. Mr. John Steele is the fifth director
nominated, and not Mr. Butler.
We are authorized to state that what
is given in the Philadelp'-ia papers as a
sketch of proceedings oil. that subject, in
■die senate, is essentially incorrect, parti
cularly therein it professes to give the
arguments used in debate.
Tne following persons were, on the 4th
instant, appointed by the stockholders to
he directors of the bank fer the ensuing
year:
William J -ncs Charles Chauncey
James <J. Fisher Joseph Dugan 4
John Serg-ant Jamc* Schott
John Bolton, of Sa- Henry'Inland

Joshua Lippincott S. Carolina
John Coulter J.ilin Potter, of do
John Lisle John Oliver.of Balt.
J'lhn Connell Gvorge Williams, do
Daniel Luminot George Hoffman, do
Gustavos Coliioun Archil. Giacie, N. Y.-
It is presumed there is no doubt ot the '
re-election of Mr. Jones to the office ol
president of the Bank.—ib.

7th inst.
After a long calm,'a light breeze yestei"
lay ruffled the surface of the house o/ rep*
■esentatives, the precursor only of a more
serious agitation of one or two interesting
.pe shoos; which. wil| in all probability be
liscusseil in thc.course of the next week.
The topic which was the subject of most
if the debate of yesterday, was t.! s consti
tutionality, on the one hand,and proprie
ty on the other, oTthe construction, by or-
ier of the executive, of military roads,
ud of the payment of the espences there
of out of the fund annually appropriated
-under the head of contingent expenses for
the army, ’ Nu.question was taken invol
ving a decision on tliis or any other point,
The most interesting feature of the de
bate which is to take place is, piobably,
•the discussion (which, notice has been giv-
n, wilhbc brought on, whilst in committee
if the whole oh'- 'this bill) re'sf/ecting the
•Seminole war, and particularly respecting
the conduct of the commanding general.—
This intention was distinctly announced
oy Mr. Mercer, and the-shape in winch
die question will be presented, will be that
of a proposition to appropriate for the pay-
mt of one only, instead of two major gen-
rals i.n the army.—ib. .

PIRACY.
Under this head we had occafion a few
days ago, tu instance a daring robbery and
outrage, committed by a piratical cruizer,
capturing the schooner Constitution id
this port, and landed her captain aud crew
in an utterly destitute condition, on a bar
on and uninhabited coast. It now falls
to our lot to record a similar transaction
relation to the schooner Dai t, captain
M‘Lean, also of this port, the statement
of which is given in a letter from captain
M. to his owner, dated from Havana, De
cember 6th, 1813.
“I sailed from Aux Cayes, (says capt.
M‘Lean,) on th,e 23d of last month, bound
home, but scarcely had I got clear of the
harbor, when 1 was boarded by a set of
pirates armed, who took possession of my
vessel, and after beating me and my crew
in a most barbarous manner, forced us be
low and confined us in the forecastle for
three hours, and it was with much difficul
ty I escaped being muidered. They then
commenced plundering and searching the
vessel for money; they took from me all
the proceeds of ——'s meal and tobacco,
which was in cash, five bags of coffee be
longing to you, one half of my provisions
and cabin stores, my boat and oars, flying
jib, all my spare rigging, tarpoulin, boom
tackle, and deck tackle falls and runner,
not leaving me a spat e rope yarn onboard.
Thev also took all my cloths except the
suit 1 had on, together with money I had.
They served the mate equally as bad, and
took his quaorant likewise. They then'
made a proposition to my sailors tu join
them iti taking the vessel from me, 4 and
setting myself arid the mate ashore, pro
mising them a thousand dollars,per w*ek
for the services. The people refusing to
join them, they then said that they would
watch us narrowly, and if we attempted to
return to Aux Cayes, that they would*
board ns again and murder every soul on
board; which I verily believe they would
have done; at all events not wishing to put
them to the trial, I proceeded to sea in my
destitute cundtion. Alter being out 14
days, during which we experienced a con
tinuation of blustering weather, knowing
that ray vessel was not in a situation tor
comiug on the coast in winter, and being
off this harbor in * heavy gale fiom north,
which is directly on shore, I thought prop
er to put in to supply myself with such
things as the vessel required.”
