Fort Mellon, a few days since, under the following circumstances t—The intelligence of the Culoosa* hatchuii murder was brought to Fort Mellon on tho 31*t ulu by a detachment of Dragoons. The In. dians who were encamped in considerable number at Fort Mellon, receiving rations &c , fled procipi tatoiy at tho sight of amounted furco, and would nut return to the Fort until the Dragoons bad started bock for Tampa, a few of them then came la. and announced that the Chief would visit the Fort on the 3d day, with somo of his poople to procure pro* visions. Accordingly, on tho afternoon of the 3d* forty-five of them, men, women, end children came into the Fort. At a preconcerted signal, the troops run to their arms, closed tho gates, and rurruundod tho Seminole*. They made somo efforts at cscapo, and two men broke through tho line of soldiers. A volley of musquetry was poured upon them, and they boih dropped dead. Tho rcmaliidor then quietly surrendered. The Stotmboat Charleston reached the Fort two days aftertho capture, end the Indians were at once transferred on board. On the 5lh another Seminole with his wife and child were captured, making tho whole amount of prltoaor* 46, of whom fourteen were men. They reached Garay's Ferey yesterday, The most singular circumstance attending this affuir, is, that tho Indians had got iutelligenco by a runnel of the Coloosaliatchee massacre before their capture. They were ignorant, however, that the snmo news had been received at Fort Mellon* and thought therefore, that th.-y might safely ro* turn to the Fort to procure provisions 7 before thoy left tiro vicinity. They maintained an appearance of friendship throughout the whulo time, which we* mot by appearances vquully sincere on tho pnrt of tlie garrison, until tho proper moment came for un deceiving them. The intelligence of tho Coloosa- hatchcc affair had been brought to them on the 2nd August by on Indian named Spanith John, resid ing on tho Gulf coast. He was was one of the two who attempted t*> escape when surrounded by the troops at Fort Mellon, and was shot dead as above stated.

Show me that tbe constitution recognises bank agency for any purpose, or in fact, any other agenc/ titan that of responsible public of ficers. * Tbe very religion of thn Slate Rights par ty, (to use an expression not Intended to bo impi- ou*,) was an adherence to the republican maxim of "equal rights to all, exclusive privileges Ui none." It waa tho war cry, which with one voice, they rung against the tariff. They pledged ’their lives to the principle, "tliut no taxation was loo heavy for the noccarary support oi tbe government, no gratuity to privileged monopolist* so light as nutio demand the resistance of freemen." Their <tniggla will bo vnln,indecd,if the privileges torn from the mnnufuctureia, nre now worn os tro phies by the bank monopolist*. It may be asked of the advocates of this system of bank deposites, why it ialhat lha Goverment is lo yield its revenues to banking, and not to tho rais ing of cotton, wheat, and other products of tin* soil? Is tbs one more meritorious than the other! Who will give tbe preference to the signing and .tamping of paper, over the making of bread! la wealth not the rm*duct of labor atone! A nation of bonkers would be as wortlili**nT* a nation of stockjobbers. With immense p *wer of accum.-l uing the proceed* of labor, neither have tbe power of producing a single article of real value. Girporate powers and privileges give to bank notes a value heyund the note* of any individual, or number of individual* in the community, although every one knows that banks promise to pay un demand, amount*, which if preaentrd, would be far above their available means. With one million of gold end silver in tlieir vault*, they will ugreu to pay on demaud three mil lion uf dull *r*. Tbeir promise tn pay ate madu sub. ject to the condition Hast must of tbeir promise* will not be required to be performed, end yet with this understanding on all hands, these promise* to pay are taken a* payment in the ordinary busincs* of buying and selling proirerty. This is lha source of the immense profits of Banks. It is the art and mystery uf making making, of creating that by merely signing paper, which others less favored,can only procure by a life of economy and toil. It is tho privilege of procuring end eqjoylng, without labor, the richest product of the labor of inhere. In the face of thi* privilege, as exclusive at it is valuable, the writer of this letter, fearing either that the buai* ness of making money would Be abnndoned, unless further protected, ur that the hanks would be starved out uf existence for want of additional patronage, gravely proposes, that are should levy a tariff for their protection, equal lo the nubile purse nr the go* vornment, and then receive tnalr promitee to pay e* payment in replenishing the pursue* .'fieii ms ii may be emptied for their benefit. The insolence of tbe claim find* no parallel in the heaviest exactions of theta, iff ul’1828; ami if tho onn.at I honestly be* Uevc, justified nullification, what form of rutislance is too decided for tho oi hurl But it has been often urged in tbe defence of the tariff monopoly, that without tbe protrci’oi of high duties, our manufactures would ho prostrated, and wo should be made dependent nn foreign countries for tho necemries of life. The same cuckoo nob is now raised by lha bank mono roly, and wo ate told in this letter, that in addition to all tbe othei special privileges which the bank* enjoy, tlu-y can* nut live without the fostering aid of the fodernl re venue. To all such appeals for spscial aid and pro tection, the State Rights doctrine knows but ont re sponse,—that if any branch of business is so unpro ductive, it cannot live without b. !ng supported as a parish pauper, it ought to be abandoned! and if not vo! Jtiturily abandoned, the snonor it die* by starva tion, the better. The public is then exempt of « charge and a nuisance.

You, Mr. Editor, received a pamphlet from a body styling itself tho " Native American Associa tion of Louisiana," for tho purpose of extracting therefrom—or passing an opinion upon Its contents. In your legitimate office of reviewer, you gave your views of the publication—fenrlfc*tly, and with the impartiality that distinguishes your rolumnt. You co sidort'd the body from wiienco that pamphlet emanated an nnri republ'can one, and you said ao. You believed it to be a political ruee de guerre, t bo ujed for the benefit o r di*nppointed politicians of the Fed oral Whig achnol—tho founder* of width weie those who acted in union with Alexander Hamilton, tho Monanhiei—wi h John Adams, the author of Mien and Sedition La we. Wlm could dispute your right to review that publication, which was se.-t you for the purposo ? Who would not Npplaud your doing su boldiy and. openly ! No one.
