J.B.l JAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER lj COMMUNICATED. es,—The editor of the Georgia Jour- d no doubt by that independence and which so eminently distinguishes has broached a subject of very seri al importance to the honor of tile state Ifare of its citizens, j us. u that there is reason to believe, »n slaves frequently find theirwray in- clandestinelv,” (the true meaning that smugglers, in violation ot the of the United States and the laws, had taken a Spanish protection, and intended in a few days to go to the Havana. Four of the whites, on their way to St. Mary’s have already been murdered by the savages ; and we dread to hear from that quarter, knowing as we do, the defenceless sit uation of our frontier citiz.ens. Why does not the general government station an efficient mili tary force to prevent these people from the tom ahawk and scalping knife ? We believe no sec tion id' our country is more neglected than the frontiers of Georgia—What is the rause of this ? Have we committed any offence that merit such neglect? We hope the proper authorities will turn an eye to that quarter.—Savannah Rep SANFORD k BETTS, V RF, just receiving a general assortment of Fall and Winter GOODS, which they will dispose of on accommodating terms.

ONE OF THOUSANDS. The catepillar, which made such ravages in the cotton fields of Georgia, in the fall of 1804, has again made its appearance. This year, its com mencement has been in the upper part of the state, it was then near the seaboard—Farmers from the up-country inform us their ravages are much more desolating this year than before, the cotton crop will sustain a very serious injury from them, as they devour the pods that are full formed, as well as those that arc not grown—and their appear ance so early in the season makes the danger more alarming, add to this the destruction from rot, which in many places is very great, and, in a lucrative point of view, the situation of the Georgia cotton planter will not he a very desira ble one, for this year at least.—Chronicle. ish papers view the execution of Am- Arbuthnot in tliat light, which wc |ll put the American calumniators of kson to the blush.

How far the Americans have attained to this sublimity, or need the instructions of imported F.uropean offi cers, is best ascertained by the following facts : General Coffee, in 1814, performed a march with his brigade, 120 miles in 36 hours; and three days subsequently, inarching 11 miles, participa ted in the memorable action of 23d December. Colonel George Elliott, with a detachment of 400 Tennesseeans, commenced crossing the Ock- lockeny river, at 11 o’clock on the 31st of March, 1818, and by 12 o’clock on the 1st of April, at 37 miles distance, was engaged with tne enemy, and slept in security that night, amid the flames of Mikusuky.—J\usliville Whig.
