COnRESPOEDEMCE OF THE N. T. AMERICAN.
1 ivf.rPOOl. Wednesday, Fob. 3, 1337.—We closed the
. . ji a . week in our cotton market—the last by fat tl»e
0 .4 of the three. So much was cotton pressed, for-'sale,
* i( j - n nU irli were the buyers importuned to male offers
* nJt t h f y, as well as the holders, took the alarm, and
. l, t even less than they had intended. Inferior short
yiicd American cotton was sold at a reduction of | to 44
l . r I'onnd, and good new was forced off at a reduction of
j ••) 4. and even 4 per lb., according to the dears of -the sel-

faithlessness. His murderous conduct in Texas proved
him a brute, and the whole course of his life, os far as we
fend the 'frontier settlers. Com. DaDas, on being applied
to, promptly agreed to send boats and men to giianl the
depots of provisions to be established, and on Wednesday
a company of Horse lvpaifed to Black Water, to be joined
there by such force as might be raised in the country.—
The whole will operatemider the direction of Col. J. Wor-

the country, supposed to be occupied by the I dians, with u
view of getting information as to their numbers, condition
and designs.-; No offensive measures will, we apprehend,
be entered uppn until his return.

It will be seen that already is the administration of Mr-
\nn Buren threatened with dissolution. . Jealousy and
strife, if has .been rumored for some time past, lias been
busily at uerk; and such seems to have been the activity
of their evil influences, as nearly to have dissolved the
cabinet, with a rapidity unprecedented in the history of
the Goveriitnefct. It appears, from all accounts, that the
delay of a compromise, but for a few hours, would have
left for the first page of this part of our history, the mere
rfccord of the formation and the dissolution of the adminis
tration. ” -5
11 ith these best acquainted with Mr. Van Buren, the
prospects of Mr. Forsyth, so far as they depended on the
former gentleman, were considered at the best, as very
precarious; and after the result of the Presidential elec
tion in Georgia, they were believed to Le decidedly adverse.
Those who know Mr. Van Buren best, know that the fa
vor of that gentleman is Confined in .its flaw, To those from
whom a f.ui ful return may ie expected; in other words,
his promotions are extended to those ouly, who will bring
the most votes to sustain ]ai own. Virginia has a much
larger vote than Georgia, m.d withal, Virginia has been
made to bring all that power to bear in t!*e promotion of
Mr. A’an Buren. And why should not Virginia's Senator,
(and powerfully efficient Senator loo, in controlling iiis State,
as it seems,) take the first static;)-in the cabinet, nsxiv filled
by a friend, to Le sure, and a devoted arid" talented one*,
but comparatively uninfiuential; who has not been able to’
carry his ov/n State for the administration,,iitd whose only
recommendation is, that he is the most talented man as

Sasta Asm a at ffoxt.—The New-Orleauu Advertiser
of Monday states, on the authority of information brought
by the Creole, from Tampico, that a fleet, consisting of four
brigs and three schooners of war, had sailed from Vera
Cruz for Matamoras, to act against Texas—that quiet reign;
ed at Tampico—that its soldiery amounted to 500 men—*
that Santa Anna had arrived at Vera Cruz—that his recep
tion was very lukewarm—and that he had in consequence
hastily retired to his plantation, to brood over his many re
verses. A letter from Santa Anna to the Secretary of War
of Mexico, declares that he obtained big liberty “ without
subscribing to any conditions whatever.” and that he had
not “ either before or since that event made, with any one,
let him be who he may, any contract that might bring re

jeopardy the integrity of the territory;” and “ that he has

“Some time since I was informed that the Creek Indians
were in the habit of coming down here and obtaining sup
plies of ammunition from a small hand of Indians and
some two or three old Spaniards, resident near the mouth of
Black Water Bay. Believing my information to be correct.
I made it known to the War Department, whence I was
ordered to proceed forthwith, with an interpreter of toy
own selection, and ascertain all information in my power.
I set out on Monday last from Mount Vernon with my inter-
terpreter. We lay at Pitman's Fern - , on Chocktahatchie,
on Tuesday night last, when a body of Indians passed down
the river in canoes, &c., murdering and plundering set they
went, and stealing every canoe they could find. They kil
led the family of Mr. Alberson, two miles above the ferry,
on this side of the river. Two or three other families were
missing on Wednesday morning as we passed, supposed to
he murdered also. I was requested to rush forward and
give the alarm i>n Pea River and Yellow River, and arrived
here at dark last, night. These Creeks have been victorious
in three several engagements near the head of Cownggee
Creek, in Barbour county. Col. Wellbourne, of Irwiuton,
and several others,- have fallen in an engagement with
them. It appears they are aiming for this neighborhood-
reports say 300 in number. One gang 1 f 125 qatnc down
Clay Bank Creek last Friday, in open dav time. They
were counted by &"gentleman in his plantation, making their
way towards tiie mouth of Pea River. Another gang was
seen on Sunday last, at the Double Bridges ir, the same
neighborhood, all travelling South. As you are my ouly
acquaintance in Pensacola, T request you will endeavor to
prohibit the sale of ammunition to any Indians, or white
persons who may be suspected of trading with the ln-
di;ms.

A'c have been mortified, bv the complaints of our sub-
Tiber-i, of the failure of our paper. It is hardly necessa-
i.-at the assurance, that the fault does not lie at our
sot. In fircone we arc informed of a total failure of our

it the Piedmont mail carried our paper* entire, through
j-" State, and brought them l ack again from Carolina.—

' failure of a portion, is the criminal carelessness o.
of Post Masters on the route, sending some of the
most distinguished appointment in our diplomatic depart
ment. But instead of being offered the station, where an
able man has an opportunity both to distinguish himself
and to perform important public service, a new mission is
cut out for him. and he is offered the appointment to Aus
tria, a Court at which we never have had a Minister, and
where from our relations with that country, an American
minister might abide for a long life, and his countrymen
forget that there was such a man, or such an office. More
over it is stronglv surmised that in the order of the suc
cession for the Presidency, Mr. Rives is the chosen ser*
vant on whom the falling mantle is to be marie to descend.
Now what more felicitous course could be possibly pursu
ed than the offer of this solitary mission, by which to plane
the destined heir in the most prominent public position,
and at tiie same time to throw into perfect obscurity, an
aspirant for the same elevation,fnr more talented and equal
ly ambitious ; one, too, the more dreaded as at least an
equal favorite at the North, and perhaps a stronger man
in that section of the Union which claims them both ? AA e
have heard it intimated that when something of this light
began to glimmer before the eyes of the present Secretary
of State, that even the mission to London would have been
indignantly refused. Be this as it may, from our know
ledge of the Secretary of State, lie feels himself to be deeply-
aggrieved by the President; and in the course he has pur
sued, in the haughty tender of his resignation, and liis in
dignant anneal to the citizens of Georgia, which for the
present are temporarily, and as we believe only temporari
ly suspended, he has only acted out a character which, by
friend and foe, has ever been awarded him, we mean that of
being as independent in the expression of his opinions
and resentments, as he is talented in giving them point and
effect.
Although now opposed politically to Mr. Forsyth, we
view the conduct of Mr. V an Buren to him, as but of a
piece with the conduct of tiie whole political life of tiie-

Money Affairs.—AVe are sorry to say that the State
of things in AVafl street is most uncomfortable. It will be
seen, by the sales at the Brokers’ Board, that panic reigned
there, some'stecks going down 8 or 10 per cent, below the
low point to which they had previously fallen. The condi
tion ot things at the Board was in sympathy with the feel
ing out of doors. The largest ingredient in the cup of alarm
which this day has added, is the suspension of Messrs. J.

on his back, so it is said, but rapidly amassed a princely
fortune, and with liis partners retired from active business,
a few years ago, leaving their names and responsibility for
the use of the junior Hetman and talented business gentle
men with whom he had associated himself.
A main part of their business was that of factors for the
cotton planters and interior dealers. Those who are ac
quainted with this business, know how immense the accept
ances of these factors arc, in anticipation of the arrival oi
cotton. AVhen the cotton trade goes off, as it has f-ir seve
ral years past, these acceptances arc easily met by the sales
of the cotton as it arrives; hut if the cotton fails to arrive,
or cannot be sold, or the bills on Europe and the Northern
.States, in which it is common to make payment, cannot be
negotiated, the state of the case is very different, and this
is the slate of the case at present.
For this house Messrs. Josephs arc understood to be at
this moment under acceptance to the amount of $1,400,000,
a sum too great to be taken up under the circumstances,
even by a house otherwise of great wealth. The letters
from New-Orleans, to the Stli of March, say that the banks,
except tvvs, had agreed to sustain Herman & Co.; and a
meeting was to be held on the 5th, to see whether all the
banks would not come into the plan of relief. It is hoped
therefore that the next news will be a resumption of pay
ment.
Under these circumstances, Josephs' 3b Co. called a
meeting of their friends this morning who have advised
that they should suspend payment until Monday. Thesynipa-
tliieaof the public are particularly excitadSn their behalf, for
it is only within a few days that the most active partner of
the house buried an only son; on Tuesday their expensive
banking house was a heap of ruins, and now their great
mercantile credit is also prostrate.
AVe understand that by the exhibit nf the Messrs. Josephs
3b Co. this morning, it was conluded that two millions and
a half were necessary to carry them through. The United
States Bank offers them one miilion, on condition that the
rest can be procured elsewhere.
Washington is said to be full of office-seekers, hovering
like cormorants about the tree of life: And among the
other rumors, we have one that ihirty Senators have signed
a recommendation to the President, in favor of an immedi
ate repeal of the specie circular, and that Mr. King of Ala
bama, and several other western Senators have said to Mr.
Van Buren that the whole West will oppose him if he does

Novel duet..—-The Xcw-Orleans correspondent of the
New-York Courier and Enquirer, writingunder date of Feb
ruary 27, has the following paragraphs:
“ Yesterday a duel was fought in this city, between Cap
tain ChanTburg and Mr. Cuvillier. The meeting took place
with broadswords on horseback. They paraded at the pro
per hour, on fine looking geldings, armed with swords—took
their positions, and awaited, like knights of old, the word
to be given for combat. The result was, that after some
close cutting and thrusting, Chnmburg had his hat cleft in
twain, and his horse kiiled under him ; and Cuvillier had
a division made of his clothing across his whole front, leav
ing, it is said, a slight flesh wound; and here tho affair
terminated. The duel was at a public place, and from the
mode of fighting, a large number of persons were drawn
to the spot to witness the combat.
The London Quarterly Review, for December, ha*
just been published. This work, now under the editorial
management of Mr. Lockhart is sustained in its pre-emi
nent stand as a political and literary journal, by the ro-
lnbors of Dr. Southey. Basil Ha!!, Dr. Barrow, Mr. John
Croker, M. P., Mr. Milman, and other men of strong ta
lent. The legal articles are prepared by Mr. Justice Cole
ridge, Mr. H. Taylor, and Mr. Hayward, editor of the Law
Magazine.
Some idea may be formed of the appreciation of literary
distinction in England, from the single fact, that Mr. Lock-
hurt, as editor of this journal, receive* an annual salary of
£ 1400 sterling (say six thousaud two dollars.) The ordi
nary compensation for the articles published in the Review
is twenty guineas (or nearly one hundred dollars) per sheet.
Mr. Southey has in many instances received fifty guineas
for one article of thirty pages, and it is believed that he
receives an annual salary of two hundred guineas on con
dition that he furnish at least one article for each number.
The powerful talent, concentrated in this journal, will ac
count for the usuul sale of nine thousand copies of each
number, at the price of six shillings, or about $5 a year.
It is republished in this country by Mr. Theodore Foster,
New-York, at $ 2 a year.
Major Henry Lee, of Virginia, author of the Life o
Napoleon, and Editor of the new English paper in Paris,

In Sandersville, Washington county, on Sunday, the 13th

Pournell, aged 12 years.—This is a death that has caused much
sympathy. A young and beautiful girl, snatched away in the
bloom of youth, after scarcely three days sickness, has thrown
a gloom over our village not to be soon removed. Her sweet
ness of disposition, her ingenuous and unassuming deportment,
her intellectual and engaging qualities, hud deeply endeared
her to every acquaintance. In all senses she promised fair to
be an ornament to society. Her loss wiil be keenly felt in the
circle in which she lived. The only consolation left to her
greatly distressed parents is, that she lias exchanged tubs vale
of tears for a happier ar.d abetter world.
“ We saw her sliir.e in youth and beauty’s pride,
And virtue’s light, that beams beyond the sphere*;
But like the sun eclipsed at morning tide,
She left us darkling in a world of tears.
The parent’s heart, that nestled fond in thee,
That heart how suuk, a prey to grief and rare!
So deck’d the woodbine sweet yon aged tree ;
So from it ravish’d, leaves it bleak and bare."
