SOUTHEUN PARTY.—From their earli
est existence as a faction, the nullifiers have
been making ceaseless, violent, determined
efforts to establish a southern party. The per
nicious po!icy, the reverse of that recommended
with paternal solicitude by our sainted Washing
ton, is now pressed with more highly excited
zeal, in order to defeat the election of -Mr. Van
taking advantage of some unfortunate divisions
among us, it was said "if bv running White,
we can change the local publics of the State, it
is all we expect!!”
Now, fellow.citizens!! how do they propose
j to defeat the Union party and change the poli-
with the government of a country. The party | tics of the State? It is by getting Union men
which they undertake to protect, they doom to ; to go with them for White, and consequently to
defeat as certain as the unerring results ofsim-
pie arithmetic. The Soutli being inferior in
numbers, our only means of maintaining a supe
riority, or even an equality in the republic are
to be tound in the exhibition of high courage, of
strong talent, ol lofty patriotism, of superior
moral character, drawing to ourselves the ad-
miration and confidence ofpatriotsin every part
of the Union.
Or are the nullifiers governed bv a wish to
prepare the way for the dissolution of the U-
j nion? Il this be their motive, then do we ac-
j knowledge that their policy is guided with skill
| aifii address. Tl e formation ot a southern par-
i ty, leading to the formation of an antagonist
! northern party surpassing us in numbers, and to
; ihe consequent defeat, and oppression, and deg
I radation of the South, would infallibly result in
the dissolution of the Federal Union. Would
to heaven, that the patriotic yeomanry of ’liar
party, who still love their country, would exam
ine this subject in the light of their own good

could not, “though one should rise from the the mean t,me » ‘hey are continuing their depre-
dead.” It would bean insult to your honesty (•‘lations on every siJ
and intelligence fur me to indulge such a thought.
Cut nullifiers have indulged the thought—they
therefore have insulted you. Not only so, but
your able and distinguished friend “Ljlcon” has
shown, that they have attempted to bribe you.
!t is easy to imagine the moral turpitude of such
an act, as well us the moral degradation that in.
duced it. They certainly take us to bo both
knaves and fools, to suppose that we will accept
the bribe, and make ourselves the servile tools
of an infuriated faction. Cut they have mista
ken their men; they have counted without their
Huron. The nullifiers acton the presumption *"«rch to their respective counties. They bore
that the people of the South are exclusively I™ as P ect „ of l»;ive and war-worn soldiers.—
devoted to their own interests: and that they are j - . ,,OS ? P" ant La “ wm volunteers also, who
a race of ignorant, hot-headed men, who re- J n, P J tlle ar, p'’ an , d served through the cam-
patgn, a small but distinguished band, have re
turned. The Volunteers from Georgia were a
quire only a little management to induce them
to abandon institutions established and matured j
by the wisdom of such men as Washington and
Franklin, and Jefferson and Madison, in order
to follow the wild speculations of such a man as
Calhoun. They would extinguish that expan
sive American spirit, which, breathing into the
hearts of our whole people, from North to South,
from East to West, has constituted from all the
states, a peaceful and prosperous band of
brothers at home, and has formed an impregna
ble phalanx of republicans, offering an asylum
to the oppressed of all countries, and bidding
universal defiance to tyrants. They seem to be
emboldened by the belief that they have taken
the popular side; unJ that their professions of
exclusive devotion to tlie interests of the South,
will win to them the affections of a southern peo
ple. They are playing the part of demagogues,
who, in the blind ardor of their devotion to an
ambitious and corrupt leader, are laboring to
put to hazard the permanent prosperity of their
country. Should they succeed in their attempts
to establish a southern party, they will thereby
seal the doom of tins hitherto happy people; and
there will be two successive stages in our down
ward road to ruin—the first, of defeat to the
South in every contest for office in the federal
government; and in every interest and question
of policy within the sphere of its action—the
second, of a dissolution of the Federal Union,
with all the calum ties which lie hidden in the
womb of this disastrous revolution.
Julius C. Alford, Esq., a fair representative
of his party, in addressing the late convention
of nullifiers, said of Mr. Van Buren, “he lives
wa a ay yaw nw-nw-ndor; he is a northern
man:” and as fur as we were able to judge by the
aspect of that body, these remarks of Mr. Alford
were received with approbation by the other
sense, and under the guidance of their own lion- host; they will find that we are not the gullible
est hearts! dolts they would have us to be. They will find,
that, however loosely their political principles
and moral honesty hang about them; however
easily they can now swallow “bloody bills” as
they onee termed them, and without compunc
tion of conscience now vote for the bloodiest of
the “bloody bill” men, that Union men—re
publicans, attached, as they are, to the princi
ples of tree government, loving the Union as
they do their hearts’ blood, and delermincd to
support that party which will sustain it and per
petuate its blessings to the latest posterity, are
neither to be bribed or cajolled from the sacred
cause to which they are bound, by the flimsy,
iguorant and corrupt machinations of nullifiers.
I call upon you then, to beware! You see that
a pit is dug fur you! You are invited to plunge
into it headlong! You are insidiously asked
to strike the blow that terminates your political

TIIE VOLUNTEERS DISBANDED.
The battalion of Florida volunteers, under
command of colonel Read, has arrived from
Tampa, and has been discliarg. d. They suf
fered much from sickness, produced by the
measles, but are now mostly convalescent.—
One death only occurred, during the campaign.
Though they had no opportunity to distinguish
themselves, we learn from various quarters,
that their conduct met with the unqualified ap
probation of their superior officers. Such was
their discipline and watchfulness. »!>»”»
e*J as guards and fl inkers, that the savages did
not surprise them, in a single instance, conse
quently, they suffered no loss from those sudden
attacks which were continually made on the
army during its march. We were mistaken
last week, in stating, that colonel Read had been
ordered to the Withlacoochee, to relieve the
garrison at the block-house, established by ma
jor M‘Lcmore—he did not even know of its ex
istence. It was, indeed, his wish to assail the
enemy in their strong holds there, but was not
allowed to do so, by general Sootr, but was or
dered to confine his operations, strickly to mak
ing observations, as to the depth of water on
the bar, at the entrance of the river, which du
ty was performed by him in person, with a sinail
detachment in boats. While there, he discover
ed aflat boat on one of the keys, which corres
ponds with the one belonging to the garrison, at
the Withlacooche block-house. It had been
cut in two, by an awkward band, with a dull
axe. He also, found a list of a portion of the
Jefferson militia. These circumstances have
created the most painful apprehensions, that the
garrison has been surprised and cut to pieces.
Had he known nt the time, that forty men were
thus posted, in the heart of the enemy’s coun
try, nothing would have prevented this gallant
officer from landing, and cutting his way through,
to their relief, with the handful of men under
his command. We fear, that another bloody
tragedy has been enacted, which will be anoth
er monument of the imbecility, improvidence
and indecision which has characterized the late
campaign.
At the time general Clinch was superseded
by general Scott, we were not without appre-
hension of a disastrous result. General Clinch
is an ab c officer, well acquainted with the ene
my lie had to contend with, and has always had
tiie confidence of the men under his command.
The only impression that has yet been made on
the enemy, was on the ftl>t December, when
they were met by general Clinch, with two hun
dred regulars and five hundred volunteers, un
der general Call. This was leally to those who
had an opportunity of being engaged, a brilliant
into “angels of light;” so thal we are now re
garded by them, as in all things fit to become
most desirable accessories to the society of nulli
fiers? I will tell you, and, in doing so, I will
not give you my conjecture, but I wiil give you
their reason as they have declared it; and I call
upon all Union men deeply to consider it.—
They declared it to lie this—“to change the lo-
cal politics of the State,” to defeat the Union
party in the State of Georgia, that this door is
thrown open to receive us into the support, with
them, of Hugh L. White of Tennessee. 1 re
peat, this is no conjecture of mine. I have
heard it from their own mouths, at thoir own
^nfed
cabulary. And why is it that we, whom they
formerly believed to bo traitors and enemies to
our country, have been suddenly transformed ! afhur, a desperately fought battle—instead ot
giving the officers already iu the field, the
means of continuing the contest, on equal terms,
heavy, utnvieldly masses of men have been as-
sembled, without regular depots of provisions,
without transports, infantry without cavalry,
and cavalry without infantry, and all acting
without concert. The boasted combined move-
incut that was to have been effected, on the
Withlacoochee, came to nothing, and it is a re-
diculous fact, that the three armies arrived at
Tampa, within twenty-foui hours, without one
of them having seen the other. Colonel Lind
say, was wholly without mounted men—con
sequently, he was attended through most of his
march, by a body of Indians, on ponies, as a
guard of honor, ready to avail themselves of
the slightest disorder or lack of caution.
The spirit of enterprize, on the part of the
young officers, has been repressed to an unrea
sonable degreec. No effort lias been made to
meet the enemy, in their own way, by partizan
warfare, except in a few instances, and even
The re- i then, wc believe, without the sanction of the
higher officers. The result is, that the In
dians, from impunity, have grown daring in
their desultory attacks, to a degree, hardly con
ceivable. Our army in the late campaign can
be compared to nothing, but a prize ox, stung
to death by hornets, without the ability to <lv
from, or catch his annoyers. General Scott,
has b:en gravely harpooning minnows—shoot-
i in advancing their own interests;

er acy, in which she found neither se- ! not only there hut in the State, made a lengthy
tending from the Withlacoochee to the Vacas-
assa Bay. Colonel Read saw their fires on the
whole extent of this coast.
The executive, we are glad to learn, has de
termined to act w ith vigor in this emergency.—
Orders will bo immediately given, to organize
the militia of Alachua, and measures taken to
afford subsistence to the women and children.
Should it be necessary, a sufficient force will be
sent from this district, at least, to keep the war
on the other side of the Suwannee. We trust,
that should general Scott consider tlieir services
unnecessary, and attempt again to disband them,
any order to that effect, will be disregarded.—
We omitted to mention, in the proper place,
that the volunteers who have just returned, were
discharged a month before tlieir term of service
had expired. We also omitted to state, that
general Scott, seriously contemplates dismant
ling Fort King, a post better calculated than
any other, to overawe and annoy the enemy!!—
This measure is seriously opposed by genera!
Clinch. •
As mattters are now conducted, there is no
prospect of a termination of tiie war. Our only
hope is that, general Scott has had enough of
glory, and will retire, and leave the affair to
general Clinch. That military posts will be es-
tablished at every commanding position on the
coast, and frontier, to be garrisoned by regular
troops, and to be supplied with ample stores, of
arms and ammunition. That congress will pass
a law to raise a thousand riflemen, half of them
to be mounted, to serve during the war, and to
be allowed one half a section of land, to be lo-
cateJ in East Florida. Let them be officered
by ambitious and entorprizing young men, who
have yet to earn their laurels, and ten to one

Major General Gilbert Shearer
Sir—Having Horned that y e;
the governor of Alabama, “in tin event of your receiving
satisfactory information that they (the Greek Italians; had
commenced actual hostilities against the white settlers to
afford relief, we have deemed it our duty to inform von of
some occurrences that have lately taken place in our neigh
borhood. A few days since, a party of Jndians went to the
plantation of L. W. Hudson in this county, near the mouth
of fiatchachubba creek, and shot down two of his mules,
broke op.-n bis corn crib, took out tha corn, fired frcqitsmlv
iftiiisim'soverseer believes he would have been" killed Ay I
them if they conlvl hav* discovered him. He has abandon- j
ed tire place, an 1 moved off, leaving his crop arid every j
thing to tho savages. Colonel Richardson, fr.nn the same
neighborhood, ha* also sent ofi his family., in consequence j
ol the hostile indications of the Indians, a considerable 1
number of whom eatneto his plantation aimed, and threaten-1
ed to kill his son if he did not nl.-nudon the place imiuedi- j
ately. During last week, a party wont to the bouse of Mr.
Howard, in the day [iiu'\ Ihe negroes only hiirigattlio
house, broke open his smoke house, and look off his bacon.
His overseer arrived and attempted to regain tiie bacon,
when they drew their weapons and kept possession of the
bacon, which they carried off with them. On Sa’tuday
night last, they went lo the house of Mr. Booh, thr e mil s
from Girard, armed. The family discovered their approach
at some distance, and fl d unobserved. They harm down
the houses. A few days ago lhev attempt: d to drne off
some cattle belonging to Mr. Wither, that were ranging
tl ar Mr. Allum s, who sent out some negroes to prevent it.
do soon as they discovered tho negroes, w ho hallooed nt
them, they fired nine guns and retreated. Many acts of a
similar character occur almost daily, insomuch that very
many of the inhabitants have abandoned their crops and
rtmoved, and unloss protection is afforded, fins part <>f the
country will shortly he mostly abandoned. It might he
proper to add, that numerous applications to puretuiee
powder by the keg have recently been made to the mer
chants; and in sotno instances the clerks, w ho d.d not
suspect any thing improper, h ive unfortunately furnished
them. Several of the friendly Creeks give it as thtir
opinion, that immediate and pretty general hostility is in
tend, d iu this section. We herewith enclose a letter from
the Rev. Mr. Glenn, to a gentleman in Columbus, Georgia,
which speaks for it sill. And in conclusion, we add, that
from every indication, we entertain r.o doubt but the situa

I*. S. Siueo vvriung the above, wc have learned from
Fort Drane via Jacksonville, having been with the army on j “nthorily that tniiy be relied on, that a party of Jndians, uf-
there would follow a long, dark ' cliango the politics
c biusicn, of dissention, cf bloodshed, j Union party, ai^d to turn the men iq power tut
the route to Tumpa. and back to Fort Dram*. To his po
liteness we are indebted for the following information, in
addition to that contained iu the extra of thu Jacksonville
Courier.
One oi the divisions of tlu army under general Clinch
left Tampa on the lUiv ultimo, for l’ort Drane. Having
proceeded three days on their inarch, lh *y arrived w ithin J
four miles of Fort Coop-r, where major Cooper had been ,
left with his battalion from Georgia. General Clinch e.n- *
camped anJ detached the two companies of mounted man ■
from Jefferson and Washington counties, under the com- !
maud of captain Malone of the Washington corps, with '
wagons to major Cooper, and instructions to join him.— i
When this detachment had proceeded about two to three
miles, they were fired upon by Indians, stationed in a ham
mock near the road, and Mr. Howard and Cornet Dunsnn
[John W. H. Dawson, formerly of Milledgevile, but now j
of Sarulersvtlle,] of th** Washington Troup were wounded |
Mr. Howard received three wounds, but is in a litir way of
recovery. Cornet Dawson received a wound (tint danger
ous) in the leg Tito Indians retreated before the fire of 1
captain Malone’s men, and captain M. on informing general j
Clinch, received a reinforcement of a corps of infantry, j
who scoured the hammock, but without discovering the In
dians. This was on the 18th ultimo. The detachm nt pro
ceeded to Fort Cooper without further molestation. There
they learned that a considerable body of Indians lia.l attack
ed the encampment of major C. on the third or fourth day
alter general Sjcoti’s command left them, but they were suc
cessfully repulsed by live brave Georgian*. The Indians re
newed tlieir attack upon major Cooper for thirteen .succes
sive days, but with no better sucres*, th in unfortunately
killing Mr. Zadock Cook, of the Morgan Guards, command
ed bv captain N. G. Foster.
After tiie junction of major C. with general Clinch, the
letter returned about two miles to lake an Indian trail, and
after proceeding a day or two without meeting any Li lians,
heard the cannon of colonel Lindsay, fired at ten o’clock, A.
M as a signal. They reached colonel L.’s camp before even
ing. II'» was encamped on Ihe great Onitlilaeooehee,—lia-J
been suffering as vveil as several < f his laen from sickness,
but was recovering. Colonel L. stated that h» left Tampa on
the Mill ult. and was attacked by a patty of Indians while
crossing th** Hillsborough . i* - . ' : r.-' •••of his men un
fortunately killed, Mr. Jum<’s ff u., : n. t liie Alabama vol
unteers, a son of Dr. Ifunry Branham of i’utnain county,
in this State, a you tg volunteer whose loss was sincerely re
gretted
General Clinch's division having separated from colonel
Lindsay's, (the latter intending to return to Tatnpa,) pro
ceeded on their way to Fort King. On ih.-ir march, hefoiu
reaching Fort King, one of the mounted flankers, Mr. Bos
tick of the Jefferson troop, was fin d npon by Indians, and
wounded, though ml severely. Hi* horse was, however,
so badly wounded as to die shortly after. The Indians al
though fired upon, escaped. This division reached Fort
King without any other incidents, except passing over
interesting battleground of major Dade, and falling in with, 1
at two different limes, near two hundred head of cattle ami
three ponies with halters. Thr-y arrived at Fort King on
tiro 23th, where they learned lliut the Indian* had made pris
oner* of two friendly squaws who were washing about one
hundred yards from the Fort. One is the wife of Indian
Billy who, with his son, was with our army at the time.
At Fort King they first learned that Fort Drane had been
attacked, and some negroes and several horses captured,
while outsido the Fort. Major Cooper's battalion was left
at Fort Drane on tiro 27th ult., nnd expected soon 10 he dis
charged The mounted men froin Georgia bad been dis
charged, ns also the Augusta volunteers. General Sroit has,
we learn from another source, reached Picolata via Volusia,
to winch latter place hc-as-uomp itin. J general 3 has,
ter robbing the plantation of Mr. Smith, attempted to lake
off his negroes, who fl d .and were pursued several r.lilf-.s,
and escaped by ercs.-ingover the LYhee at a place wb-.ie
there was a collection of whites.
