TUESDAY MORNING, JUNE 30.
Fourth of July.—At a meeting of the citizens
of Milledgeville, convened agreeably to public
notice, at the courthouse, on Friday last, for the
purpose of making arrangements foi the celebra
tion of the approaching anniversary of American
independence—Hr. Thompson Bird was called to
the chair, and captain Thad.G. Holt, appointed
secretary:—It was agreed by the meeting, that
the approaching anniversary be celebrated in this
place, by the reading of the Declaration of Inde
pendence, by the delivery of an Oration, and by
a Public Dinner. Mr. Hiram B. Troutman, is
requested to deliver an Oration, & Seaborn Jones,
esq. to read the Declaration of Independence.—
The Dinner will be prepared by captain Wil
liam Jarratt. ——
On the 24th inst. the anniversary of St. John
the Baptist was commemorated in this place by
about forty masons, members of Benevolent
Lodge and others. At 12 o’clock the brethren
moved in procession from their lodge room to the
Methudist meeting house, where an excellent
discourse was delivered by the Rev. Mr. Tally.
They then returned to the lodge where the solem
nities of the day were finished, and the brethren
repaired to the Bell Tavern, &. partook of a sump
tuous dinner prepared by brother Rousseau.
The New-York National Advocate states that
the dispute between generals Jackson and Scott
arose respecting the celebrated general order is
sued sometime last summer by the former. It
appears that general Scott expressed an opinion
unfavorable to the manner and spirit of that or
der, us being calculated to produce insubordina
tion. This opinion was expressed to one person
only, and probably without any expectation of
its ever reaching general Jackson. An anony
mous letter conveyed to Jackson the opinion of
Scott, and a warm correspondence eusued.
The National Intelligencer, by request, contra
dicts the report of A. C. Mitchell, a clerk in the
office of the second auditor of the treasury of
the;United States, and formerly editor of the Na
tional Advocate, being author of the Letters from
W ashington, by a foreigner of distinction. >
Various conjectures are afloat on the subject
of the late transactions in Florida, whether or
not general Jackson was authorised to take the
measures he did. In order to lay aside ail doubts
on the subject, we publish the following extract
from a communication of the secretary of war.—
The general was not specially ordered to war a-
gainst the Spanish authorities ; but it will be per
ceived, that he had a discretionary power to act,
as circumstances might require. Whether, judg
ing from the information we have of the affair,
the general has done his duty or more than his
duty, we leave our readers to determine. The
case is apparent to us, that whilst those places
remain under the direction of the Spaniards, we
might in vain spill the best blood ol our country
am> spend immense turns of money, in order to
reduce the Seininoles to a sense of right and jus
tice, who, so soon as they were hard pressed,
would immediately seek and find refuge in those
forts and meet with such supplies (with or with
out pay) as their necessities might require
*• General Jackson is vested with full power to
conduct the Seminole war in such manner as he
may think best.”—St. Stephens Halcyon.
Mr. Calhoun.—'The secretary of war arrived
here on Monday last, from Elizabeth City, at
which place lie left the president and his suite.
Mr. C. is on his way to his residence in South
Carolina. Of course it is not yet known which of
the places the president may have visited will be
selected as the scite of onr great naval depot; but
we understand that the secretary of war spoke
of one plan that had been suggested, which,' if
it be ever accomplished, will present to the world
a most magnificent national work.—This is erect
ing a chain of fortifications, of massy and im
pregnable construction, from the Horse Shoe to
the middle ground of the Chesapeake, by which
that great bay would be completely protected
from invasion by any hostile naval force. If such
a thing be practicable, even at an enormous ex
pense, it ought to be accomplished.—A retreat
would thus be secured for our own squadrons
when over-powered, the means of preparing and
uniting at any moment of war, a large naval
force would be rendered certain, and all the cit
izens on the navigable watersentering this inland
sea would have secured to them the means of ex
tensive water communication with each other.—
Under such circumstances, even as inland navi
gation now stands, exchanges would be safely
made, by water, between the Juniata in Penn
sylvania and many Virginia and North Carolina
streams.—Raleigh Minerva.

A melancholy instance of hydrophobia Occur
red in Richmond, Virginia a few weeks ago. A
boy of fourteen, who was bit in the hand, was
utia.ked with all the symptoms of the disease
about six weeks after the wouud was entirely
healed. He died in the greatest agony upon the
fourth day. The India stone, generally applied
in such cases, was placed upon the wound a few
hours after tne accident happened, and other
medical remedies were also given. He appear
ed to experience no uneasy sensation* from the
tune he was bit until the symptoms of the hy
drophobia appeared, bat attended schoolas usual.

A lamp without flame.—Sir H. Davy has dis
covered that a line platina wire heated red hot
and held in the vapour of ether, will continue
ignited considerable time. It has since been dis
covered, that if a cylindrical coil of these plati
na wires be placed, part of it round the cotton
of a spirit lamp, and part above the wick, and
the lamp to be li^Ked so as to heat the wire to
redness, on the ILine being blown out, the alco
hol will keep the upper part of the wire red hot
lor any length of tune, according to the supply
of alcohol, and without any considerable expend
iture thereof, so as to be in readiness to kindle
German fungus, or paper prepared with nitre,
and by this means to light a sulphur match at
pleasure. The proper size of the platina wire
is 1-100 of an inch, a larger size wilt give but a
dull light, a smaller is difficult to use, about 12
turns of the wire will be sufficient, coiled round
any cylindrical body, suited to the size of the
wick of the lauip.
NOTICE TO FLOUR & RICE MILLERS.
W HERE \S Oliver Evans. Esq. the pa
tentee of these improved invSntions, hath
regularly given notice in the papers from the year
1810 to 1815 his tariff of patent fees, that begin
ning in January, 18-13, he would require of those
who infringed his patent, and continued so to do,
those rates : that from 1813, he would call for
interest on a new sum saved in labor, board mid
wages annually till license be bought and paid
for ; and all those who continue to violate the
law, may expect suits against them without res
pect to persons immediately. Those owing pat-
ent fees, they will be received by his table with
interest in single damages ; but when suits are
brought against them, and judgment rendered,
treble fees and damages will be required at the
bar. The patentee lias found by many years
dear bought experience, after being involved in
very heavy expences to support his just rights,
that all other modes are unavailable, and nave
proved fruitless.
License may be had of John Love, of Puck-
land, for Mills in the Northern Neck, and from
the subscriber for Mills from Rappahannock so
