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.
