Wbole No. 98.
FROM FLORIDA.
By tbs U. S. steamer Newbern, Capt. McNulty,
arrived yesterday (Sunday) forenoon from Pilatka,
we have received intelligence that_ so me Soft or 600
Indians bad presented themselves at the different
po.it—a few at each, whether to leave the country
or not is not known.
It is reported'that an snack wns made on For*
Walker not long since, and some persons killed.—
This may or may not bo so, but our informant thinks
It is true.
LABOR ON THE SABBATH DAY.
Wo this morning insert the proceedings of s
meeting of the Printers of this city.
The dealaration filed by them is entitled to great
consideration, and tlm Jury who aro to render the
verdict thereon, we doubt not will give Han impar
liai and disinterested hearing. The pleas, to
apeak irt legal parlanoo, which should defeat such
n strong appeal should not be merely technical, but
abound in matter relevant W-the i«»ue. If allowed
Voio do, we would object to the filing of the plee
atylod fAr general issue, for under It. cloak m’ght
be brought forward testimony, which worthy me
chanics might not be prepared to combat.
Let the single plea of self-interest be filed—com-
binlogthe interest of the community and the inter
est of Proprietors of papers. Our columns are
open to men of business und all iaterested to dis
cuss the former. The latter will be pocketed as an
affront to our pocket, should the plea prove valid.
Some months since, when the alone morning
paper, we look the responsibility (we moan no of
fence to our Whig friends) of discontinuing work
on the Sabbath, and of furnishing our readers a
Sunday morning paper, which they could road on
that morning or the next, as might be dictated by
an approving conscience.
On taking charge of the Georgian on the^Srst of
January, 1833, we found the custom of Sabbath
labor in tha office prevailing. We continued a
custom, bettor honored io tho breach than the ob.
-aervance, for more than sevon years,longer than the
ancient patriarch of Israel wus required to serve
for his fair cousin. Unwilling to be cheated of our
reward wo commenced a reform.
As fares we could judge it was approved by all
c ur subscribers, save one, and we doubt whether
lie would have condemned it, had he understood
the object fully—to give to the Printer In u morn
ing office tho sirao privileges enjnyod by tho Prin
ter in an afternoon office, and by all other roe
chanics in the civilized world.
After so long a trial we observed, we thought*
tho influence of Sunday labor on the conduct of the
young Printer, cut offin youth from those privilege*
which are enjoyed by others. Instead of having
unfolded before him the Sabbath School book de.
veloping the treasures of a religious faith, be was
stnd still Is compelled to follow the copy before him*
and put the prices of cotton, rice, and flour lo solid
type.
This certainly is tho every day business of life
In a Commercial Community, but men tif business
aye unwilling, becauso ongaged in Us vortex through
the weak, iodeny theptralves that relaxation which
a holy day of rest affords.
1 WUl -they then deny it to the humble Printer,
who oppressed by a custom which compel* him to
labor bh that day, which the Most High ha* com
manded to bp kept holy, now appeals to an enlight
ened community to relieve him.
For ourself we pretend not to any peculiar ten
derness of conscience, but we confess that we had
■ome misgivings, when in obedience, as we were led
to believe, to self-interest, we resumed in tho sec
ond week of this month Sunday labor.
It may ba urged by some men of business that
they cannot do Without a paper onMondoy.
As they did do without it for a portion of Iasi
year, we would be pleased lo have stated tha in.
conveniences to which they were subjected. If too
•erlous to be borne without loss,the Printer, wo pre
sume, must submit to dire necessity. But if light
and transient are those inconveniences,we doubt not
that tho application of tho Printer will be responded
to.
It may be nsked by some one opposod to the ap
plication—“why not prepare your Monduy proper on
Ssutrdayl This is impracticable, we answer, be
cause the flood of news which sometimes arrives on
Sunday, would be totally excluded. A portion of
Sunday, Instead of tho whde. devoted to labor,
■would not remedy this, for then part of the new*
mill I frequently bo oxcluded.
The paper, thus excluding even a part,would soon
forfeit iU character for late intelligence.
But we cast our approbation of the application
cf the Printers before an intelligent and religious
community. We speak not for ourself, although
-we feel the deprivations to which on the Sabbath we
have been accustomed. We solicit examination
into tha situation of an important class of mechanics,
destined we trust to send forth many Franklins
go add lustre to their country's history.
Let Savannah eel an example to cities older and
possessing more population, and we doubt not that
.results favorable to her character will arise, while
the Printer will hail her citisens as benefactors.—
We have not urged all the reasons that could be
summoned to our aid to sustain our views, lest our
-remarks may be deemed too lengthy.
MEETING OF PRINTERS.

lutions, which were unanimously adopted
Whereas, it is at present the practice in the of
fioas of the Georgian and Republican to issue a
paper on Monday morning of each week; and
whereas we are thereby compelled to work during
all tho day on Sundays, to our deprivation of that
rest and thoae privilege* which the other citizens of
tbU place enjoy, and which we deem necessary to
nurhappiness and comfort: And whereas, wo do
not believetbst the interest* ef tba Proprietors of
the Georgian and Republican can be in any way
affected by having their papers published on Sun-
day instead of Monday : Ba it therefore
Rosolved, That we object strongly to the prac.
,iea of Sunday work, and that we feel decidedly
unwilling to continue it, unless some bettor reason
therefor# can be shewn than at present exist*.
Retolved, That a Committee consisting of Three

CONSECRATION.
The editor of the Charleston Mercury* in notic
ing the contemplated consecration of tha Rev. Sts
phen Elliott D. D. ofS. C., as Bishop of tba Die.
cess of Gnorgia, which was to have taken placoye*
terday at Christ Church, in our city, but was post
poned, as the Rev. Bishops who were expected had
not arrived, justly remarks:—“South Carolina his
thus given lo her sister State one of tha brightest
luminaries of the American Church, and Georgia
will, we are aura, ba proud and grateful for tho rich
gift. She has received it at a costly sacrifice to the
causa both of Education and Religion in this State,
and we hope that the services of the distinguished
Prelate will ha appreciated In his new vocation, oe
they have been by his Church, his College And his
State, while the theatre of his labors was amongst
ourselves."
TUESDAY, JANUARY 19, 1841.
Tba Br. brig Bdb R6y, Copt. Williams, arrived
at Charleston on the 10th inn.hrlnging a file of Bar
badoes papers to tiia 30th ult. No news.
SPECIE IN NEW YORK.
The New York F.xpress says—Notwithstanding
about three and a half millions.of specie has been
exported fiom this city in little mote than 3 months,
the bank* had on hand on tbo 1st of January, over
five millions, which is about one million less than
last year. Tha expots during the year were all sil
ver, except $300,000.
TALL SAILING.
The last passage of ihe Oxford packet ship from
Liverpool to New York was made in twenty days;
a most extraordinary passage for winter and very
short fur any season.
The Garrick.—Our news-men went down yes
terday for the Garrick, but finding thnt they would
be unable to lin'd, they returned to tbo Ocean Hriuse,
twelve miles this side r,f tho ship, where they found
her passenger* wailing fur the steamer Osiris from
Shrewsbury. Tho steamer soon came along, and
brought all hands to the city, arriving at 6 o’clock
last evening. The passenger* left tho Garrick a
few hours after she went on shore. Thtiy report
that she had fifteen feet water In the hold.
A passenget on board the Gerrcink say*, thdt
Capt. Patmei commenced heaving the lead at 12
o'clock at night. Ho than found twenty fathoms
water; took in sail and stood on until 4 o'clock,
when the water having lessened to tee fathoms,
orders wore given to wear ship and in coming
about, sho struck, she is now within her length of
rite shore, so near that the enrgo can be sent n*bore
on timbers. Theteis reason to hope that the en
tire cargo may bo saved;though damaged perhaps
to half it* value. The tiocktn* show the value o
the cargo to haVo been over £70,000, or, with
freight and other charges about $400,000. Thu
freight list Is £1,300, though Ihe ship is only one
third full. Purl of the owner* of the ship, to the
extent of $30 000, are insured in tho New York
Ocean, Jackson and American Insurance CtJmpa

P. S.—Whin our now* collector left ihoGnrrick
yestrrdny ufternoon, he states she had fiftbbn feet
water In hor^hnld. It wA* supposed her batik WO*
broke, and that the mainmast had gono through
her bottom. She lies nearly head on, and ihe water
making a break overhoro midships. The steam
boat American Eagle, which went down yesterday,
With Capt. Waring, and others on board, agents for

Land, has been compelled lo resign the presidency
of tho Wesleyan University at Middletown, in con
sequence of the elate of his health.—Aug*a Chron.
* MORE BORDER AGITATION I
Tho New York Herald of last Friday seys—Wo
llaVe received important intelligence Rom Buffalo
and the Niagara Border. The nrreik and impris
onment of McLeod, a British officer, at Lockport
—tho demand for his relcash Hihde by the British
minister upon the Americdrt gbvernment—the re
fusal of our Executive Id deliver him up—and the
various causes of dissatisfaction on the bonier have
nguin it appear* broken out afresh.
A public meeting has been hold at Buffulo, and
the proceeding* had been inflamalory. Resolu
tions had betin passed declaring the outrage on the
Carolino a National insult, which colls loudly for
national interference, and appointing the 29th of
next December for another meeting to commam
morale the anniversary of the burning of the Caroline
Iu addition to these inflammatory proceedings
says the Herald, we learn thnt preparation* are
making on the Csnadinnsideofthe Niagara river to
organize a secret corps, End to proceed on a night
expedition to Lockport, for the purpose ofrescuing
McLeod, now imprisoned there, on the charge of
burning the Caroline. On rid* side of the line from
Buffalo to Rochester, there will be no want of mate
rials inflammable enough to lend lo a collision. At
this season of the year all the loafers of tha West
do little but play, slay, rido, dance, drink or fight
Nothing would please them better than a genera) on
slaugh in the case of McLeod. McKensie is at Ro
Chester,and other Canadians are at Buffalo, and they
will not be slow in adding to the excitement as much
as they can.
BRITAIN AND TEXAS.
Tho New Orleans Picayane say*:—“Wo stated
in our fureign news of Sunday that one of the eon
ditions of the commercial treaty signed between
Great Britain and Texas, by Lord Palmerston and
Gen. Hamilton, stipulated that Tesas was to pay
England her proportion of ihe Mexican debt. We
published it as a report, but if it turns out true it
must be understood with some qualifications. The
treaty secures the mediation of Great Britain for
the pacification and independence of Texas, with
the boundary line running to the Rio del Norte.
The original boundary of the Province of Texas was
the Nueces, about one hundred and hfiy miles East
of the Rio del Norte. If Great Britain is snccess
fill, through the offered mediation, in securing
peace, independence and the boundary line to the
Rio del Norte, then Texas is to be responsible for
her proportion of the Mexican national debt. Tex
as is not to pay either for mediation or indapen
donee but for enlarged boundary, which is necessary
t o her security, and peace cannot ba had with Maxi
co without it."
FAILURES;
Several more heavy fnilur* * have taken place in
England. Fox & Co. of Birmingham, foiled fo r
£140,000; Gausssendt Co. of Belfast, failed for
£100,000.

He wants not this r but France shall feel the want

Her honor, fame, and faith demand his bones.

RAISING OF THE BLOCKADE OF BUE
NOS ayrBs.
Tho brig Cervantes, from Rio Janeiro at New
York, bring* information that the difficulties be
tweeu France and Buenos Ayre-had been arranged
and that the blockade had been raised, nfter a con
tinuance of almost three years.
The condition* of the irenty are unknown. The
French were only informed of it, nnd advised to
make the most of it. The French vessel* in Mon*,
levidco will, without doubt, improve the opportuni
ty immediately.
There is a grent deal offermenlarion there against
the French inconsequence, und it Is supposed they
will suffer somewhat.
The vessels in Montevideo are all nearly ready
to start. It it supposed, on good authority, that
thnt government will go to war with that of Buenos
Ayres. It will take instant measures to blockade
that port as soon as the French leave.
Rivera says that the cause of Rosas will finish
only on tbo point of the sword.

Note from a friend, dated
January 9, 1841.
Dear Sir— If you will refer to tha Ledger recelv
od to-day, you will find ilmithe stock of tlio United
States Bank roso to 54$, and ihon sunk nguin to
52$. The rise was caused by tho Bonk publishing
another statement under the dute nf January 5th.—
From this it appears that it Im* liquidated tlm bul
ances duo lutnecity Banks,and reduced itafcireuiu
tion by a now issue of post notes to the amount of
between four and fiva million*. Tills entirely
changes the aspect of thing*. It is evident from
this, that the whole hanking Interest, if not tho
whole moneyed interest of Philadelphia, Is prepared
to sustain tho United Sto.'es Bank, rotten as it ia.—
This, with aid from England, may keep it going till
the Legislature of Pennsylvania can be prcvuiledon
to pnsi a new act In fawt of suspension or till thu
whole of the credit and resources of tho United
Status Government can be brought to the aid of the
Bank, Very respectfully, your*.
F. P. Blair. Esq.
On referring to till* Bank statement of &th inst.
which was deemed necessary after the expose of
Us condition on the 2l»t Ult. as published in Inst
Wednesday'* Georgian, we find thnt tho Bank
diminished its circutnlion of Bank Notps in 15 days
$1,793,385 and of Post Notes $278,955, hut to do
so had ;o issue Post Notes to the City Batiks a-
mounliDf to $4,533,598. We shall hereafter pub-
Misha statement showing thooxpenso, to tho Bank,
of this opr ration.
The Bunk has been charged with a design to
prevent a Southern remmptton..
The New York Herald of thn 8th remarked,—
“Letter# Rom New Orleans are confident that it
cannot be effected there. The resumption of the
UniteiStaUt Bankit a juggle, ond will, in all
I robability, not last three months. New Ortenns
is a commanding point, ami the branch of the Uni
ted Statee Bank there, and the Merchant's Bank
exert at great an it\ftvence at the mother bank
doet in Philadelphia. Fopulur opinion dues not
sat so strongly in favor of resumption in rite former
ns in the latter city. It is, therefore, feared that
non-resumption in New Orleans will be mudbthe
cloak for another suspension at nn early day, tihluss
the depoiites of the Federal Government uro re
stored to the United States Bank. If-this cannot
be effeotad, a new suspension and derangement of
affair* will mako it the instrument of new politicul
Intrigues."
Do not tho riiovcthcnts of tho Baltimore Bunks
Imply that tho finger of the great regulutor wo,
there. Read the following:
BALTIMORE BANKS—THE RESUMPTION.
Wu learn that at a meeting of the Presidents of tho
several Bank* in the City of Baltimore, on Monday
evening, the question of tha reinttipiion of specie
payments comb Up—when a resol ut inn wns adopted
by a decided Vote; that it was inexpedient (or the
Banks of this til) io. resume, unless there wns a
simul anedus act of rettimpliun on the part of the
Banks of Virginia. This vote, we take It flit grant
ed, settles the question that ihrro will he ao rbsllmp :
tion aouthjof Pennsylvania, at tho present tithe
[ Baltimore American. 13th intt.
Tho American proceeds to remark “that tkepost
ponCmcnt of a resumption by tho Bultimnrb Bank*,
wds not ihe reiblt of any inadeijuncy of mean* on
their part to meet abundantly, ell their liabilities.
The aggregate amount of specie how in the vaults
ofihe Banks is $1,317,860; their circulation i*$l-
521,G67. It thus appear* that without reckoning
other assets; there is an amount of specie now on
hand ueorlytrtjual tb the hlltiro (Simulation.—^Till,
exhibit shows tba priidentand cautious course which
tlte banks have pursued in tho management of their
business during tlm suspension."
This decision accords, says that papor, with the
wishes nf the business community of that city.
The Philadelphia Inquirer of the 12tlt, considers
the loan in England to the Bank, as insuring the
permanency nf the approaching resumption.
THE FRESHET.
Consieersble damage has been done by the flood
at Hartford, Conn. Tha water rose so high uiong

IMPORTANT FROM THE FRONTIER.
W’e learn Rom a gentleman who arrived in tills
ciiy lust evening at 12 o'clock, in whole veracity wo
think wo may depend, that another must cowardly
attack hns been committed on tho Disputod Terri
tory, upon three American gentlumen by some' fel
tows calling themselves * mounted paimle*.’ It
seems that tho gontlemen nbovo named viz. Thom
as K. Templeton, Georgo Cady aj|4f John H. Ken
wick, were proceeding fronRVtnrgnr to Conadu,
nnd on iheirjnriivu) near Madawascn,* a party of arm
ed British soldier* met the#. Mr. Cady inquired af
ono of the soldier* l lie most direct road to take.—
Ho gnvc him thu necessary information, when four
mherscumo up anduskfil Mr Cedy some imperii
nent questions us to the object of hi* journey; .Mr.
C. replied very properly nnd proceeded to turn the
hursca into the mud when ono ofihe squad stepped
in front of thu carriage nnd nsked what the feelings
*.f tho paoplo were in relation lo tho burning of the
Caroline. . Mr. Templeton said tltey were very na
turnlly indignant ui siicli n dastardly net, and iliai
every true American warmly expressed d hupo that
McLcud, the lender af the offenders vlioulil; suffer
the servercit punishment ofthe laws rtf thb Country—
“ If McLeod burnt ihut old hulk,” replied ih'a sol
diar, “ he deserves our thanks, nnd ifn hair ol hi*
head is injured you, and your dnttined countrymen
will lio made to repent in dust ond ushos,"
Thn gentleman made no other reply lo this inso
lent remark tlmn to request thn letdotl tu allow
thum u free and unmolested passage. But four or
five of the cowards seized the reins, nnd charged
the gontlemon n* “Spies," otd refused to lei them
pais iirilnsl they subjected themselves to a soarch.
The genlleriien remonstrated upon this unpuriilielod
pruceedinpjnnd as tlioy were Unorihbd, not having
oven n cum* to prefect illemsblves whit, they wore
uH tblo to offer any resislHhce, One of the ruffians
then soiti-d Mr. Cady by hi* coat and attempted to
pull him Rom tho carriage, the other two gentlemen
threw the soldier Rom tho carriage and fell prostrate
in the street. Thb whole party thou enme up dnd
mnrlo n dreadful atluck upon the gentinmon, during
which Mr. Catly, wns knucktd down with the butt
ofn musket, and Mr. Templeton received a severs
wound iu the shoulder With a bayonet; Mr. Ken-
Wifck a* loth pied to osenpf by luhnlng. but ono of tho
party fired upon him, ami ha received a ball in his
right thigh—ho fell to the grUuhd from thu wound.
At thi- utago nf tlm criri# one uf the officer* cume
up, nnd checked fiirthbr hostilities. Ho immedi
rtlely procured osshtanco, and had the wounded
gontlettiun conveyed to the camp nnd medical aid
immediately procured for Idm. After which they
were by their request taken to thu town from which
they lust come, where n deposition was drawn up
nnd tho fact* nbovo recorded sworn to.
Our informant states that the gentlemen are in n
