JOHNSON, FOR VICE-PRESIDENT. FREE-NEGRO SUFFRAGE IN NEW YORK.—Mr. Van Huron is violently assailed by the nullifying press, because, fifteen years ago, iu revising the constitution of New York, lie voted fora clause permitting free negroes in that state to vote, if “possessed of a freehold estate of the value of two hundred and filtv dollars.” These enlightened politicians do not point out any thing wrong in this vote. They seem to believe that there is so much cowardice and selfishness in the southern character, that ii is only necessary to sound an alarm; and instant ly the fears of our people will be startled, and they will unite in hostility to any man accused of differing from them. The nullificrs seem to have formed a most unworthy estimate of the character of the people of the South. It is fortunate for us that ihey are in a minority. If our character had been in their keeping during the last few years, we should have lost all re putation for courage, and liberality, and justice. This vote may, or it may not, have been judicious. We pretend not to determine, what regulation on this subject is suitable to the con dition of the people of New York. This pro. vision is approved by that people; and why should it be made a subject of complaint with citizens of Georgia, on whom it does not operate? Are we so intolerant as to require every man, in every part of the world, to be an enemy to the African race, wherever they may be found? And are we such vile cowards, as to be alarmed at a poor privilege granted to a small handfull of Africans in a distant state, which cannot ex tend any influence to the slaves within our limits? The use which the nullificrs make of this topic, is an insult to the South. Every man of common sense must perceive, that it is tho dutv of a legislator to adapt his laws to the condition of the people, for whose government they were made. A legislator appointed to make laws for the colony of free blacks, at Liberia, on the coast of Africa, could not be so ineffably stupid, as to endeavor to adapt his laws to the condition either of tho free negroes in the midst of the white population of New York, or of the slaves in Georgia. It would be the first dictate of common sense, that his Jaws must be suited to the condition of the Liberian colonists, on whom they are to operate. On the other hand, a legislator in New York would be guilty of extravagant folly, should he, overlooking the condition of the people of that state, adapt his laws to the condition of the free colonists of Liberia, or of the African slaves of Georgia. But our enlightened politicians hold in de fiance, these plain dictates of common sense; and they require that Mr. Van Burcn, while acting as a legislator for the state of New York, should forget his situation, and vote as if he were sitting in the legislature of Georgia.— Slavery had been abolished in New York; the Africans residing in that state were a small and feeble part of her population; and it became a enemies will again strengthen him in the affec tions of the people;: that they will be the pre cursor to a morespb-ndid tiiumph. SMALL-POX.—No case of small-pox has occurred in Milledgeville, but that of the unfor tunate Cosxard. We trust that the infection lurks no where among us. PORT OF MILLEDGEVILLE.—Arrived, on the 7th instant, the steam-boat, WAVE, captain White, with two tow-boats, numbers two and four, five days from Darien. THE WAR IN FLORIDA.—March IG. A single Spaniard arrived in a canoe at Indian Key, a small island situate near the southern point of Florida, and inhabited bv whites.— The circumstance excited suspicion; the Span iard was arrested; and he confessed that two Indians had accompanied him, and had landed on a neighboring island. A boat was immedi ately dispatched with men in search of them. With much difficulty the Indians were found; and they were carried to Indian Key. They are believed to be spies. They state that a large Indian force is assembled near Cape Sa ble. Great alarm prevails through the white ettlements in that part of Florida. March 23. The command of general Eus- tis. at Volusia, crossed Irom the eastern to the western bank of tlu* St. Johns. Captain Ash ley’s company had crossed; when about fifty In dians crept up, unperceived, and shot down three of the sentinels, and wounded several others.— The fire was returned, and the Indians fied, and were pursued by tho volunteers. Of the Indians five were killed and an In dian negro. Two of the volunteers were killed and six were wounded. Colonel Butler, with a detachment of two hundred South Carolina volunteers, having been out from Volusia for several days, without be ing heard from, a lieutenant with twenty.seven volunteers, having two guides, was sent out to obtain intelligence of them. After proceeding about six miles, this party encountered, in the open pine barren, a party of about sixteen In dians. They attacked the Indians, killed one, and wounded another; when the lieutenant or dered a retreat, for a reinforcement. The vol unteers being mounted, it was believed that they might have killed or taken every Indian, but for the retreat ordered by the lieutenant. A court martial has been directed for his trial. General Pope has arrived at Picolata. March 25. It was understood, that on this day general Scott would march with two thou sand men, from Fort I)ranc, for the Withlacoo- che, determined to attack the Indians, if they could be found. If they had left the Withla- cooche, which is the prevailing belief, it was his intention to pursue them. In the interview near Fort Izard, between the Indian chiefs, and officers sent out by gener al Gaines, the chiefs said, that if the army would not cross the river, they would cease hos tilities, “and let general Gaines and his army depart.” Genera! Clinch left Fort Drane, with the rescuing army at mid-day; and in twelve hours, the Indians who had surrounded general Gaines, at the distance of thirty-five miles, from Fort Drane, had received information, bv their scouts, of the movement of general Clinch. Three hundred officers of the United States’ army, have applied to the War Department, to be employed in the war in Florida. by refusing to go into service, they might blacken their own diameter and tho county and State from which they came. 1 ill *n requested of lieutenant Chambers the privi lege of rending to my company the laws and regulations 1 bey would be bound to obey, and when I thought these se vere, would stop reading and give to it the best consl ruc tion I was aide to do.

In stead of receiving me as a soldier would have expected, he very haughtily and tauntingly replied to me “that he could not receive me; that I might go home to Georgia, and if Georgia w as what he believed she was, my reception would be as cold there as it was here.” For Ihe correctness of this statement, 1 refer you to Comet Webb, and Colonel Robinson. At this lime we had but one days provisions and were informed tliai no inure would be issued to the Houston cavalry. Under these circumstances 1 left Picola ta—it is evident 1 could remain no longer. It would have been a source of tile greatest gratification to mo and niy command, after this, to have joined general Gaines, but lroni the best information, our rout lay through a barren and very sparsely populated country, that had al ready heen overrun by the Indians,and in which it was im possible to procure provisions for ourselves or horses—Ihe distance to general Gaines was about ninety miles.

The right wing, composed of 700 men, under the Mexican General Urrea, advancing by the Matamoros road upon Goliad, which was occupied by Colonel Fannin with 500 Texians. The left wing of the Mexicans under Generals Cos and Sesuna, which advanced upon the Laredo road, w as besieging the Alamo of Bexar, and must probably soon obtain possession ol the place, although it had been re inforced by thirty men from Gonzalez. The whole number of Texians in the field lo oppose Generals Cos and Scsma, including volunteers and militia, is estimated at 1500. It is conjectured that the Texians will retire before the Mexican forces and concentrate their whole strength so ns to make battle in the woodland tqion ihe banks of tlie Colorado; and this conjecture is founded upon 1 he information received of a party of volunteers which were advancing to join Colonel Fannin, having been ordered to bait at the Guadaloupe, 25 miles in the rear of Col.

Captain Kenan, 111 consequence ol being alone with his command, was enabled to get to Picolata four or five days earlier than wo did. On our arrival at Black Creek thirty miles from Picolata, we met some of captain Kenan’s command on their return home; they were asked 1)V us generally, the cause ol their return, they gave us in answer “that general Scott had required them to muster in as regular soldiers, and they had not been informed by the executive, or otherwise, that these requisitions would Ire made of them, and thought it an indignity offered to Georgia volunteers to make such requirements of them, and therefore, would not be mustered into service. I went on with my command to Picolata, and on ih^nort dav after our arrival, lieutenant Chambers of the United States army crossed the river St. Johns from general Scotts quarters to muster us into service.

LATE AND IMPORTANT FROM TEXAS. We learn by the passengers of the schooner Cumanche, eight days from Texas, that the war lias assumed a serious character. On the 25th of February, the Tcxian garrison in Bexar of one hundred and fifty men commanded by lieu- tenant colonel B. Travis, was attacked by tho advance division of general San Anna, consist, ing of two thousand men, who were repulsed with the loss of many killed, between five to eight hundred men, without the loss of one man of the Texians—about the same time, colonel Johnson with a party of seventy men, while rcconnoitering the westward of San Patricio, was surrounded in the night by a large body of Mexican troops, in the morning the de mand of a surrender was made by the Mexican j commander unconditionally, which was refused, but an offer of surrender was made as prisoners of war which was acceded to by the Mexicans —but no sooner had the Texians marched out of their quarters and stacked their arms, a general fire was opened upon them by the whole Mexican force. The Texians attempted to escape but only three of them succeeded, one of whom was colonel Johnson. Between the 25th of February and 2d of March, tho Mexicans were employed in forming entrenchments around the Alamo and bombard ing the place. On the 2d of March, colonel Travis wrote that two hundred shells had been thrown into the Alamo without injuring a man. On the 1st of March, the garrison of Alamo re ceived a reinforcement of thirty-two Texians from Gonzales, having forced their way through the enemies lines, making the number in the Alamo consisting ol one hundred and eighty men. On the Gth March, about midnight, the Alamo was assaulted by the whole Mexican army, commanded by Santa Anna in person. The battle was desperate until daylight, when only seven men belonging to the Tcxian garrison were found alive, who cried for quarters, but were told that there was none for them. They then continued lighting until the whole were butchered. One woman (Mrs. Dickinson) and a negro of colonel Travis’ were, the only per- sons whose lives were spared. We regret to say that colonel David Crocket, his companion, Mr. Benton, and colonel Bohan of South Caro lina, were among the number slain. Colonel Bowie was murdered in his bed, sick and help less. General Cos on entering the fort ordered the servant of colonel Travis to point out the body of bis master; he did so, when Cos drew his sword and mangled the face and limbs with the malignant feelings of a Cumanche savage. The bodies of tho slain were thrown inlo a heap in the centre of the Alamo and burned. The loss of the Mexicans in storming the place, was not less than one thousand killed and mortally wounded, and as many wounded—making with their loss in the first assault, between two and three thousand men. The flag used by the Mexicans, was a blood-red one, instead of the constitutional flag. Immediately after the capture, general Santa Anna sent Mrs. Dickin son and the servant to general Houston’s camp, accompanied by a Mexican with a flag, who was the bearer of a note from general Santa Anna, offering the Texians peace and a general amneS. ry if.they would lay down their arms and sub- mit to his government.
