TUESDAY MOHNING, t'KBKUAKY 10, lHlh.
Gtn'l Glascock.—Extract from a general order
recently issued by brigadier-general Glascock :
>• ft being deemed highly essential to the service,
that a small detachment of mounted infantry or
riflemen, should accompany the troops in the prtf-
sent crisis, he appeals to the pride & patriotism of
the hardv sons of Georgia, with a firm belief, that
tliev will hasten with alacrity, to the tented field,
prepared to meet the unrelenting foe, whose
hands are already stained with the blood of our
fellow-citizens.”
To meet the wishes of the commander in chief,
(says the Augusta Chronicle,) general Glascock
fiat used every exertion in his power, and there
is no doubt he will receive a sufficient number of
tolunteers, in time for service. Understanding
captain Berrien, of the Jefferson cavalry, had ex
pressed a desire to volunteer, the services of his
command, the general, immediately on his arriv
al here, with his characteristic- .promptitude, dis
patched an express to this patriate; officer; inform
ing him that his company would be accepted* "
Major Franklin C. Heard, has been appointed
by general Glascock, Brigade Inspector.
General Jackson, it is 'believed, has reached
out southern frontier,ere this. Travellers from
the west say that he has under his under com
mand fifteen hundred volunteers from Tennessee

all irregular cases of soldiers wounded or disa
bled during the late war.
London dates to the 8th of December, have
been received at Ncw-York, from which it will
appear that the report of the Prince Regent’s
death, via. Savannah, is incorrect.
Capt. Grantz arrived at Baltimore on 29th alt.
in 28 da vs from C'ampeachy, states; that a few
days before sailing, advices were received there
of. general Mina’s having been executed in the
neighborhood of \lax>co, on account of which the
town had bee.il brilliantly illuminated: Capt. G.
fort -er state#, that it was asserted and fully cre
dited, that the followers of Mina were either dis-
rsed or annihilated.
A bill has been reported in the House of Re
presentatives, to add *• another star to our con
stellation,” by accepting Illinois into the Union.
The following extract from the minutes t-^ the
’ethodist annual Conference, held in Augusta
n the 27th ult. was handed us by a friend for

Indian Cruelty.—To the attention of a lHend
at Jefferson, Camden county, we are indebted fu
tile following affidavit, detailing the shocking bar
barity of the savages, in their recint incursion,
along the banks of the Satilla, noticed in Gen.
Gaines’ letter of the 28th ult. to the executive
of this sta*e. The accompanying remarks are
from the same source :
“ State of Georgia, Camden county.—Appeared
Bazil Lowe, who being duly sworn, saith, that
on Sunday, the 23th inst. the deponent Was at
the Satilla river, where the Hartford, (or Black-
shear’s^ road crosses the river, and was inform
ed by tnree or four persons, that the Indians had
on Monday, thc-tfi.h inst. killed a family that
lived at tliat place, consisting of six persons;
that two or three of them were scalped.—One of
the children left for dead had survived, and was
alive on the 25th ; but little hopes were enter
tained of its recovery—that there were -ix or se
ven Indians; that nis informants were at the
house and buried the dead ; that they got their
information from a young woman who was left
for dead, recovered <$* related the facts, but sur
vived but a short time thereafter, and only to re

With regret we find our neighbors murdered—
horrid to relate ! Are we men, Georgians ? Still
v.-e suffer these tilings, and live I If we do, we
ought nst to be called men. Arc you a father?
the blood of your son shall fall in your corn-field.
Are you a mother the war whoop will awaken
the sleep of the cradle. Let us rise en mass, and

French Colony.—The French colony on the
Tombigbee, in the Alabama territory, is rapidly
increasing: Besides the four townships of laud
ceiled to them by the Uuited States, they intend
to purchase several townships more. The per
sons at the head of this enterprising people are
immensely rich, being owners of more than ten
millions of the capital stock of the bank of the
United States, besides of immense sums in dif
ferent banks in Europe. A FrentJH‘traveller says
*• that the colony have been expUinnjg’S.the sea
coast to select a proper place to erect a fcjwyard ;
that they have formed a plan to rescue Bonaparte
trom his prison, which will undoubtedly succeed ;
they intend building a fleet of men of war of pe
culiar construction ; that so soon as this fleet is
built, they intend manning it with yankee lars,&
with this and co-operating forces from France and
Italy, sailing under various pretences, they cal
culate to execute their plan.” The same writer
says that he has “ conversed with some of the
most-respectable jneinbers of the colony, one of
whom told him that all the Spanish American pro
vinces had proposed to Joseph Biyiaparte, tliro’
agen's senttohim'kt'his residence near Philadel
phia, tliat they would recognise him as king of
Spain, and assist withmqn jwtri tpmiey to reptacc
linn on the throne, as they can-Upare both, if a
revolution takes place in the' mother country;
that Joseph’s party in old Spain was very strong,
and that there was no doubt he would be pro
claimed king in the course of the next summer
by all the-disaffected of that country, who were,
nearly two-thirds of the nation, and that the ar
my would join Ids party.”
much more easily traced than that of some of the
names proposed to be abolished.
We may fairly expect in the report of this
committee, a rare specimen of philological learn
ing. Yet it may be doubted whether they
wdl show any good reason for quarrelling with
our illiterate ancestors, for havin'* named the first
day of the week, and that which we devote
more particularly to the service of the Creator,
from the noblest object in creation, and one
whose presence alone distinguishes the day from
the night; and the other days of the week from
the moon, and other objects esteemed by them
the most noble and dignified. It is perhaps im
possible for us to determine, whether a part of
these objects, when their names were appropria
ted to the days of the V.-eek, were regarded as
gods or men; and it is of little consequence to
us, so long as the name cannot deceive any one
into the belief, ifilt't the day is or ever was, con
secrated to the' service of their obscure dei
ties.—Boston paper, Jaii. 21. _
Law Intelligence.—At a term of the supreme
court now sitting at Albany, the great case
of Criswould vs. Waddington was deter
mined in favor of the latter. It was ihe uuani
mous opinion of- the court, that a state of war
between two countries, dissolved all partner
ships previouly subsisting between individuals
belonging respectively to each. This is a lead
ing case, and involves property to the amount
of more than a hundred thousand dollars.
It is our painful duty to announce the melan
choly tidings of the death of Dr. Wistar. This
most excellent man, und distinguished Physician,
died at a few minutes before eight o’clock, last
evening.—Ftiiladel. Daily Advertiser, 23d ult.

• South America.—We view with interest the
resolutions which have been introduced into both
branches of the Kentucky legislature, expressive
of the opinions and feelings of the people of that
state, in regard to South American atlairs. The
first resolution, in the lower house, declares,
“ that the liberty of nations is derived from God
and nature, and is not the gilt of kings nr poten
tates,” They are all framed in the genuine spi
rit of liberty—containing a firm and positive de
claration of the unalienable rights of man, and a
becoming sympathy for the success of the virtu
ous principles which actuate the patriots of South
America. They recommend to the general go
vernment the acknowledgment of the independ
ence of such of the former Spanish colonies, as
have shewn them.-elves capable of vindicating
and maintaining the rights ot sclf-government.-r—
Baltimore American.
The new Dey of Algiers 1 has adopted an ad
mirabie mode, novel and somewhat extiaordina-
ry, for remedying the effects of the plague now
ravaging in that tine country. He has calculat
ed with all that gravity for which musselmen are
remarkable, that disease and death can only be
opposed by increasing'populatiou in an equal ra
tio—by which, evil cHects will be balanced, arid
the state, in the end, receive no injury. Accord
ingly he has ordered all batchelors over the age of
twenty to be conducted to the public square, and
then there be bastinadoed until they acquire a re
lish fur matrimony. Tins is a singular tax
on batchelors ; and if the regimen is daily re
peated, we take it for granted that all the old
maids in the regency will shortly be supplied
with husbands.—JV. F. paper.
A tremendous storm was experienced at New-
Orleans on the 13th of December. Two or three
vessels.went ashore in the port, and the English
ship : Speculation, loaded tor Liverpool;' was a-
Ahord some distance below. The river craft suf
fered severely, and distressing accounts were ex
pected from the river above, as it was understood
that many boats with valuable cargoes were then
on the river.—Gazette.
A motion has been in the legislature ot this
commonwealth, containing a proposition for esta
blishing by law, names for the days of the week
as substitutes for the present names, which are
said to be derived from certain Heathen Gods.
We would suggest such an amendment of- the
proposition as will provide for a new appellation
for the official records of the proceedings of the
house, the word joarna, Dis orNeus, the Greek
name of the God Jupiter—from Dis is derived the
|Latin word dies, diurnus, which in the Italian
j&Mines giorno, in the French jour, and in

ought to hove precedence, as the derivation is
