1 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 The Hun. John Forsyth has politely forward ed to this Office, for the|guidance of persons wh . Jiavc such claims upon aovernmeot, the Rules and itegulations,” establishes by the Secretarv *1 War for substantiating claims to pensions in 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 blicatioli; which, as we conceive , it wilt be ratifying to many of our readers, we present to them.

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 late the melancholy tale. BASIL LOWE. Sworn to* eforeme, the 31st January, 1818. J. THOMAS, J. I. C. 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 wo can and will crush all or any foe.—Sav. Rep. 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. GEORGIA, BALDWIN COUNTY. P ERSONALLY came before Joseph Weaver, and make oath that he was in possession of a note of hand given by Enoch M’Clendon and Thomas M’Clendon security, which note was gi ven to David Carvell, for twenty dollars, and due the 25th of December, 1816, gnd the depo- nant saith that the said note is lost or mislaid, so that lie cannot find it.

Milledgeville, Feb. 10. • 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 English journal. ■ This amendment, perhaps, ought to hove precedence, as the derivation is NOTICE.
