DOMESTIC,
On the night of the 3d inst. Joseph Bush and
his soil were fired upon by a party of Indians, the
father killed and the son severely wounded and
scalped, but so far recovered as to roach home in
two days after. The citizens receiving informa
tion of the foregoing facts, assembled on the 9th
inst. to the number of 3G, und crossed the river
in the forenoon to see^ redress. Finding consi
derable sign of Indians, they pursued the trail
leading from the river some distance out, Where
they came in view of a body of ludians, 50 or 60,
advancing within gun-shot. The firing was com
menced by each party and Warmly kept up for
three-quarters of an hour. A part of tiie detach
ment effected their retreat, bringing off one bad
ly wounded ; four are certaily killed ; the ba
lance of the detachment has not been hearij from.
Major Cottom, commandant of the Telfair mili
tia. is among the missing. Four Indians killed.
From information, the citizens below this are
much alarmed and leaving their homes. 1 have

The following unpleasant news, although it lias
not yet reached us in an official shape, may be re

to Fort.scott, had their boat stove; by running a-
a-iinst a sawyer. Major Wright and several
soldiers were drowned. Gen’l Gaines and one
or two soldiers swam ashore, without sustaining
any material injury. We understand the Gene
ral reached Fort Gaines on the fifth day after the
boat was wrecked.
General M’Intosh, commander of the Creek re

Louisville, Ken.—The influx of population Here
s astunishingly great. Business is flourishing;
ouble the quantity of goods have been brought
ere this winter to that of any former period. The
' teanl boat navigation is becoming as important
nd as useful (tv the commerce oh the Atlantic
shdre, Some of the boats are upwards of 300
Ws burthen, and perform a voyage from this to
New-Orleaiis and back in from 45 to 60 days, a
distance of 300 miles. It is said the steam-boat
\Vashington last year cleared g 40,000. The
New-Englanders have no small share in this bu
siness. There is a Wide field for enterprize and
for accumulating wealth. Landed property is

Smith American Independence.—The animated
debate which took place in the house of represen

ed additional interest (Voin « declaration of Mr.
Speaker Clay, that jie should in thencourse of the

worthy of tiie subject; who pledged himself on
that occasion to redeem them from aspersions,
particularly the calumnious reproaches of ignor
ance, of superstition, and unfitness for self gov-'
eminent, which lie said had been cast on them
from various quarters.—JVut. hit. Sd inst.
The sense of the house appears to be against
legislating on the question of expatriation, on (he
ground, that to prescribe the mode of exorcising
a fundamental right is to "assume the power of
limiting it, which powtfr, it is contended, does
not belong to congress. The question is one it
must be confessed, Surrounded with difficulties;
uu which, however the able debafe .which has ta
ken place will have shed a light that may lead to
the adopting, at a future day, of a definitive rule
up a poin(Mega;ding which, it appears, the opin
ion of congress and the decisions of the courts of
the United states arc at variance.—-ifr.
The Legislature of Virginia closed a labori
ous session on the 26tb February, after passing
229 bills. Speaking of these the editor of the
Enquirer remarks, “ We take it upon us to say
that no general assembly has passed so many
laws, or so few of general and actual impor
tance.—The most important act of the whole
session is the school bill; a measure, which takes
845,000 out of the 70,000, the revenue of the
literary fund, for an experiment on the mode of
educating the children of the poor. We think
the experiment begins on too large a. scale, anil
puts too much of this consecrated fund to the
hazard of being wasted. We ire afraid that an
experiment of two or three years will verify thii
prediction.—But g 15,000 are annually appro
priated to those higher branches of science, which
are too much neglected in Virginia, and for whose
attainment we pay so deat-ly at present, by send
ing our sons abroad or into otliei* states, The
institution of this university we hfd! with delight;
it redeems many errors which have been com
mitted in the course of the session.—It is for
the benefit of the poor as well as the rich; for
many an indigent boy will.bask in its, beams ;
add many of those parents who are not absolutely
ndigent. but are unable to send their sons abroad
for education, will see them qualifying themselves
in the University of Virginia to act the higher
parts in the drama of life.’’
