Gat. TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 7.1836. The Crops—By a geutlemau from Li berty County, we are informed that, as far as came under his observation, the Cotton on our seaboard has been considerably in jured by the N. E. gate of Friday last, the rain which was very heavy, having cut and protracted the plants. It ja to be feared this has been the cose along the coast gen erally. By the schooner Emeline from the coast of Florida, we learn that the gale was very severe there; which strengthens this opinion. The Corn has also suffered from the wind. than tho christianB; and as my tribe was tho largest, tho command of the whole was giveu to ino. We got down in tho night, ‘ ami having beon running fur thruu dove, I i thought it best not to attack them till the morning, judging that when they should see our numbers they would yield to us. At daylight I saw them, and made signs to m to lay which A letter from Augusta of the 4th inst. quotes cotton at from 23 to 25 cts. very dull; from a scarcity of cash, being offered freely by holders at those prices, but no sales— Stack on hand, including Hamburg, estiina- ted at 15,500 bags. We learn from the Republican, that the motion to reserve every twentieth Lot and the fractions of the lately acquired Creek lands for the state, has been negatived in -the House of Representatives. In an account of the loss of the Spring Grove, a Whaling Ship, which was wreck- ad on the coast ofAfriva, on the 33d of Nov. last, part of the crow of which were deliver ed from captivity among tho Arabs by that Ornament of humanity, Mr. Willsiiiiie, the British Consul at Megadorc, tho follow ing paragraph occurs:— “A circumstance is stated by one of these rescued men, which is as follows:—He says that the Arab Chief in whose hands they fell, could speak a little English ; and con trived to inform them, that, some years ago, on English ship wot loti on the African Coast, that the crew reached the shore to the numier of three hundred men, well arm ed ; that hie own Tribe, consisting of five hundred men, attacked them, and were ro- pu sed; that he solicited the assistance of a neighboring tribe to renew the attack, with ■niadditional force of four or five hundred men ; that the British drove them back a Second time, and were making good their retreat for some settlement of security, when they were s third time surrounded by a body of thirteen hundred; and that the British fought till Ihree-fuurths of thir num ber fell, and the remainder were cut to pie ces, alter laying down their arms, and after killing 250 Arabs. The name of the thip, and the time of the thipvireck, are both un known.” The National Intelligencer, considers it highly probable, from several circumstan ces, that the vessel here alluded to, was the United States sloop of war Wasp, Captain Blakely, which has never been heard of since September, 1814. The last heard of the Wasp, was on the 23d of that month, when 6he was left off the Madeira Islands, having up to that time captured a British sloop of war and auuk another, in a night fight. “Taking this fact,” eays tho National Intelligencer, “ with the uncertain time of “several years ago,’’ and not having heard of any British ship then lost in that direc tion, we sec strong reason to believe that this ship, thus accidentally heard of, was the long lamented U. States ship Wasp.” Tho term “ tome years ago,” in the sc. count of the wreck of the English Frigato, is so indefinite as to leave much latitude for oonjecture. It may mean ten, twenty or thirty. There iB, however, an account in Paddock’s Narrative, appended to the Narrative of Capt. Riley, of the wreck of a British Frigate and the destruction of the crew, which, allowing for the uncer tainty of time, agrees in so many circum stances with the above, as to induce us to believe they are the same, and of course that the vessel alluded to, could not have been the Wasp. Captain Paddock was wrecked on the coast of Africa, in 1800,- and soon after diBcovorcd a number of huts, near which were a number of brandy casks filled with human bones and hair, and at a short distance, a heap of bones of the same kind. Ho was eoon after taken by the Arabs, and became the slave of Aliamad, who gave the following relation which com pared with tho extract above, will be found the samo in ail essential particulars. Tho oxact time of the transaction in this is e- quaily indefinite with the other statement. “ Once,” said Aliamad, “ there camo a- •hore a very large ship. It being seine time before the crew were discovereri, they had landed all their property, and had covered themselves with their sails When they were discovered, a small tribe went down to take them in their posses sion, but they fired at our men, and some of thorn they killed. Exasperated by being fired at by such dogs, they fell upon them furiously, and many were killed on both sides. Our men finding the enemy so /strong, fell back, and sending up for help, another tribe wont down. They now en- ' deavored to show to the enemy by signs, that to themselves belonged the property, and they must give it up. But not being able to come to an understanding with these men, by signs, so as to obtain what they had with them in that way, they drew •up towards them in order to take it try them to lay down their arms, upon their camp seemed all in confusion. At the moment we were prepared to attack them they formed themselves in a close body, and begun to march off eastward. We formed ourselves in throe divisions, ac cording to our tribes, and the chief of each tribe led on his own men. My tribe, to gether with one of tho other two, got in their front, and the remaining tribe was on their side. We all begun our attack at omic, and, after fighting a long time, we had killed half of these dogs, and then the remnant left alive laid down their arms. We now all dropped our guns, and fell upon them with our long knives, and every one of them we killed; and their whole number w< found to be upwards of five hundred. “After we had gone through witli slaught ering them, we stripped them all, and left their bodies lying on the ground, and went back to the ship, and found that they had landed great quantities of goods. In the ship we found guns, iron, sails, powder, and many o’her things valuable to us; they had in the ship large guns, such as they have, you know, upon they walls of Su-ea- rah When wo had collected all these things together, and burnt the ship, we sent for our camels, and carried them home, and sold them about the country. We got a great deal of booty, but we lost more than a hundred of men killed in battle.”—Thus ended the story of Aliamed, which lie rela ted throughout in a seemingly natural manner, and with so much particularity, that he described the coats of tho officers, and even their buttons.” It will be recollected by many that about the conclusion of the war, a frigate put into Lisbon, much damaged, and reported hav ing during the night fallen in with an A- merican sloop of war, which after an en gagement probably sunk, as nothing wi s seen of her in the morning, by the frigate, which had hauled off from the contest. That this sloop of war was the Wasp is the most probable in the conjectures as to the fate of that unfortunate vessel. Rail Roads.—Much has been written in Great Britain within a short period past, on the advantages and superior economy of rail roads ovor canals. This opinion though apparently the most popular, has nut beon without opponents. Among these a Mr. Wightman, who has lately published in London a pamphlet on Rail Roads, states, that a complete delusion prevails as to the rate at which it would be possible to tra vel these roads. He contends that a velo city cannot be attained by their means equal to half that with which our best stage coaches now travel; and that the money which it is proposed to expend on them, will in most cases, be thrown away. A patent had been granted by tbo Aus trian government to a Mr. Karl Krauterer, for a new invented machine, of which the following account is given in a Vienna pa- paper : “A carriage with a moving straight, and endless iron rail way, fur the convey ance as well of burdens, however heavy, as of travellers, with very little friction and working, as easily,quickly and without noise, as with carriages on fixed iron rail roads, without any greater expenso of propelling power, up and down hill, and in any option al lateral direction, over paved or unpaved roads, whether passing over meadow, clay, or sandy ground ; lastly, without causing dust or dirt in tho roads, and without in juring them.” A Company called the Canada Ship- Building Company is organizing in London, with a capital ol £150,000 fertile purpose of building vessels in the River St. Law rence (for sale) of selected materials, and to be fastened and finished in a superior manner to those usually built in that coun try. It is intended that one third of the capital be reserved for persons residing in Canada. in this quarter a preference over all others. The public lanas offered for sale wore ad joining those of Lafayette, and around-the Scat of Government, but they sold lb# jn consequence of a singular instruction from the Treasuary Department, directing the Receiver of Public Monica for the District, to take in payment the notes of certain banks, including those of Louisiana and Alabama, and excluding the notes of specie paying Banks in South-Carolina and Geor gia ! By this kind of management, per sons who attended tho saloa with Georgia and South-Carolina notes wore txcluded from purchasing, which lessened the com petition, and caused the lands to sill, gen- erslly at the minimum price of a ddlar and a quarter an acre. Can Mr. Soutiard, the acting Secretary of tho Treasury, be igno rant of what every body else kniws, that the Banks of this State, with a sliglc ex ception, and those of Soutli-Carolha, with out exception, pay specie for theiriiotes ?— That the Bank notes excluded bj his di rection, are taken in the Branchts of the U. S. Bank at Charleston and Sivanunh, and are quite ns good if not better than the notes of the Alabama and Louisiana Banks? If ho knows this, and in his situation it would be unpardonable ignorance not to know it, what motive could have influenced him to issue an order so prejudicia to the public interest, and upending pa.rtiu.ly and unjustly on the citizens of those states, who were moBt likely to purchase Florida lands ? But suppose some convenience to the Treasury may be contemplated by the re ception of certain notes ut the Land Office, and the rejection of others eqaaliy good, Why was not this made known in time to al low all who wished to buy, a fair chance of doing it? In Georgiaand Carolina nothing was easier than the conversion of Charles ton, Augusta and Savannah bank notes in. to the kind of money receivable at the Land Office—but not so at Tallahassee—there fifteen per cent was demanded for chang ing the notes of hanks, which in Charleston nr Savannah were of equal value. No no tice was given of the kind of money requir ed at the land office, until a day or two be. fore the sale, and then, for the first time- the gentlemen who had attended at Talla. hassce with S- Carolina and Georgia notes, heard with surprise and indignation, that their money could not be received ! The Receiver was bound to obey his orders ;— but at whose instance, and for whose profit were such instructions given ? When exceptions of bank notes,so little to have been expected,had been determined on, why were not the people at large informed of it by a public notice? Tiie matter requires explanation. That there has been a neg lect of public doty, or eomeibing worse, is manifest.—Our Officers of Government should be not only honest, but free from the suspicions of corruption. The following has been forwarded to us from Florida, as a copy of the instructions under which the Receiver of public Monies acted South. Rec.

Fat, | jpim wait — The Plaoue—To tho Editor of the Morning Chronicle.—Sir ; Among the va rious novelties of the present uge there is none more remarkable than the new opini on recently entertained respecting the Plague. I suppose I may be allowed to of fer my opinion on this important subject, which is diametrically oppusite to this new opinion. Novelty is the order of the day, and it muy be said, with all tho new Com panies, “ wiiy should we not have a new remedy for the Plague?” In Mohammedan countries the plague is considered as a bles sing sent occasionally by Providence to car ry off the snperflux of population. and it is therefore called by the Arabs, el Khere (the good, or the blessing,) and I am appre hensive that those who have suggested its character as, non-contagious, will, in tho event of the abolition of the quarantine law, be instrumental to its intruductioh into England at no distant period ! I hove resided in a country that was rot ten with the plagne ; I have visited the sick with that disease ; I never confined myself like other Europeans ; 1 had every opportu nity that time and circumstance ceald allow, to observe and investigate the nature of this disease.

M’- Intosh, I was still more astonished to find that this paper had boon formally laid be fore the Legislature by Gov. Troup. I shall not enquire how far Gov. Troup is justifiable in interfering between the Indi ans and the Agent, under whose chargo they are placed—but I beg leave to say, that I do not consider myselfin any way account able to him or the Legislature of Georgia; yet as an individual, I feel called on to de fend the character, of which this very im posing communication seems intended to deprive me. Tiie statements contained in that communication, as it relates to me, are groundless ; nor do they even pretend to rest on any authority which ought to have weighed any thing with Gov. Troup, or which has ever been considered valid in any case of excitement between an Indian and a white man. What is the authority on which this formidable paper is published ? The long list of names annexed, do not pre tend to make it more than the report of Benj. Marshall, and he nut only an Indian, but a fugitive from his own country, who is seeking to enlist the people of Georgia in the quarrel of his party, for purposes of re venge. It is seldom that wo are fortunate enough to have good testimony to establish the truth in cases of this kind, and we are con sequently much exposed to misrepresenta tion and calumny ; but I am happily aide in this case, to lay before the public a state ment of truth, under each authority as to render comment useless. I submit the ac- conipaning certificates of Col. Wirite and Mr. Buchannnn, and do not fear that they will be thought equal to the authority of Benj. Marshall. I have also obtained the certificate of Mr. Broadnax, who appeara to have been the writer ot Gov. Troup’s papers. It is also offered without comment. Although I deny all accountability to the constituted authorities of the State of Georgia, I feel gratified in having it in my power to lay be fore the people of my native state, this con clusive refutation of defamation and slan der. THO’S. T. TRIPLETT, Sub Agent I. A. I hereby certify, that Mr. Triplett camo to my house in Upson county on the evening of the 13th inst., and requested me to send to die Indian camp for Benjamin Marshall, which I did ; on the morning following lie came, and he and Mr. Triplett had a const dcrabie talk in my presence ; this talk up. peered to ku entirety Friendly to turn and his people : wishing him to go homo and attend to his plantation and people ; that he did not believe that the Indians would hurt him or his property; but as to Joe Marshall, lie was not authorized to make any piutilises, as lie owed the nation and did not know whiit they would do; but if the Indians should take any of his (Benjamin Marshall’s) pro perty, he would see that they made it all good to him. Capt. TriplctL also stated to Benj Marshall, that if he was ufraiilto go to any council, or to sec any individual chief, ho would go with him, to prove that there wasno hostilities intended to him; and if he was afraid to go at that time, if he would at anv future time send him word, he would For Adam Roy has come hame, Adam Roy, Adam Roy, For Adam Roy lias come hame, My winsomu Adam Roy.

I declare on the contrary, from my own experience, that it is emtagious and nut epidemic ; tili.i is to say, produced by contdct and not by an infect ed atmosphere, innumerable proofs of which 1 have* adduced, and could again adduce in corroboration of this opinion. That it is aided by great heat is any thing but tho fact, neither does want of domestic cleanliness create the distemper, although it may promote it when created.

Ho further told Marshall, that Governor Troup nor his Aid had nothing to do with the In dians, and that a part ofLamar’s report was false. Capt.
