The following is the well written Circular Ofthe Greene and Pulaski Monument Com mittee,which is to be transmitted throughout the state, to raise a fond for the praiseworthy purpose of erecting a simple but lasting me morial to two of our revolutionary bene- Ihctors—one of them the friend and pupil Of Lafayette—the otherlike him a volun- bnteer in the cause of freedom, in which lie received his mortal wound upon our lines.'

Savannah, March 1 (1th, 1825 Sir—It has been resolved by the Citizens of Savannah, to erect monuments to the memory of Generals Greene and Pulaski. The occasion of General Lafayette’s vis it has been selected, as tl»e most fit time for laying the corner-stoncB of these monu ments. Tlie lively interest which this great «nd good man lias evinced, in all parts of our country, in the fame of bis brothers in urer ofthe Greene and Pulaski Monument Committee. JOHN STEVENS, WM. B.

We understand that the Jefferson troop of Cavalry, under Captain Cowart, and the Burke County troop, commanded hy Capt. Berrien, are expected in town to-day— Quarters have baen provided for them, in case of their arrival. The number of these troops, (together about eightyuien) should they arrive, added to the elegant squodrons already in the city, will in crease our display, at least of this species of force, to an amount, which we hazard nothing in saying, will be superior to any in the southern states. The feeling existing at present, surpasses any thing we had anticipated—it ia honor- aide to our national and to our state pride and to the feelings of every individual in the community. It is honorable to human nature—it is a mighty impulse,whose effects in ages yet to come, will give strength and perpetuity to republican institutions, and glory to our country. We regret to learn that General M'In- tosh, is prevented by indisposition from pay ing his respects to his revolutionary fellow soldier the patriot Lafayette. Among those whom the occasion has called forth, is Captain Rees, who was a judge advocate in the army of tho revolution, and who in a “ green old age" (he is eighty four) has come to renew the memory of his youth in the presence ofthe companion and friend of Washinotor. Capt. R. was taken prison er at Sunbury, and remained a prisoner to the close of the war. in anmimon 10 tnose we nave li- T ..-c-,o mentioned,Col.

In making this public appeal in behalf of destitute orphans, the Board of Managers feel hound to offer a brief statement with respect to their institution. It was found ed in the year 1801, since which time, one hundred and thirty-five children have been partakers of its bounty. Many of these have gene forth as useful and creditable members of society. Blit such, from vari ous causes, has been the iliminutiun of their resources, that witli all possible reduction of the number of children, and the expen ses of tile institution, the managers have not the means of providing for the necessi ties of those whom th> y could not, w ithout manifest cruelty, turn from their doors. A detailed statement of their funds and ex penditures, they deem unnecessary to be made in this communication. But they earnestly appeal to the hearts of a commu nity whose former testimonies of benevo lence, give the confident hope that they will not turn a deaf ear to the cries of those who stretch forth their helpless hands to them for bread. It is earnestly desired that all those who seek the blessings of the “ Orphan’s Father,” will, at tiie approach ing appeal, prove themseivus to be substan tially the Orphan.'* Friend.

Mr Dkar Sir—Yesterday I received your communication, adverting to the rea sons and defence, presented by Mr. Clay to Judge Brook, why duly and reflection impo sed upon him the necessity of standing in shall halt at any course necessary to main, tain the rights and privileges, and indepen dence of Ins country, is unsnited to autho rity. And if these opinions and aentiinemg and character am content« to be considered—satisfied, too, that Mr. GMay, if he pleases, shall give that as the reason, to tho citizens ofthe West, why.in his opinion, I merited neither his nor their confidence. Mr. Clay has never yet risked himself for his country. He has never sacritin.d his re|H>se, nor made an effort to repel ho invading foe ; and of course “ his consci ence" assured him it was altogether wrong in any other man to load his countrymen' to battle and victory. He who lights, and fights successfully, must, according to his standard, be held up as 44 a Military Chief- tain.” Even VV r Hi hitigton, could ho np|itar again among us, might be so considered, because he had dared to be & virtuous and successful soldier-a correct man, and no honest statesman. It is only when overta ken by disaster and defeat, that apy man i» to bo considered a safe politician aud cor rect statesman. Defeat might, to be sure, have brought with it one benefit, it might have enabled me to escape the notice' ( and animadversion! of Mr. Clay ; but considering that by an opposite result, my country has been some what benefitted, I rather prefer it uvea with the approbriuin and censure which he seems disposed to extend towards me. Ta him thank God I am in no wise responsible. There is a purer tribunal to which 1 would in preference refer myself. To the judg ment of an enlightened, patriotic, and un corrupted people. To that tribunal 1 would rather appeal, whence is derived whatever of reputation either he or I may pohsuse.— By a reference there it will be ascertained that I did not solicit the office of president; it was the frank and flattering cal) of ths freemen of this country, not mine, which placed my name before the nation. Whet they failed in thoir colleges to make a choice no one beheld me seeking through art ot management, to entice any representaiiw in Congress from a conscientious responsi bility to his own, or to the wishes of hit constituents. No midnight taper burnt by me ; no secret conclaves were held, nor ca bals entered into to persuade any one toi violation of pledges given, or of instruction* received. By me no plans were concert'd to impair the pure principles of our repub lican institutions, nor to pro.-trnte that fun damental maxim which maintains the su premacy of the people's w ill. On the com- trary, having never in any manner either before the people or Congress, interimd in the slightest degree witli the qui't-tioii, my conscience stands void of offeurr, and will go quietly with me, regardless of the insinuations of those w ho, through manage ment, may seek an influence not suiu tiou- ed by integrity and merit* Domugogues, I ain persuaded, have in times pust done more injury to the cauneuf freedom, and the rights of man, than over did a military chieftain, and in our country.

I ninwrll aware that this term, “ Milita ry Chieftain," has, for Borne time past, been u cant phrase with Mr. Clay, and certain of his friends ; but the vote with which I have been honored by the people, is enough to satisfy me that tho prejudice which was thereby sought to be produced, has availed- but little. This is sufficient for me—I en- tertain.a deep and heartfelt gratitude to my country for tiie confidence which she has manifested towards me, lesving to prejudi ced minds whatever they can make ofthe epithet “ Military Chieftain.” It is for ingenuity greater than mine to conceive what idea was intended to he con veyed by the term.
