ALMANAC l'OR GEORGIA AND CAR
OLINA, FOR 1837, BY THOMAS P. ASI1-
MORE.—From a cursory examination, such as
ir time would permit us to make, this Alma
nac appears to be well prepared and executed.
Besides its astronomical calculations and gard
ening calendar, it contains statements of the
officers of the government, of the sessions of
the courts, and in relation to freights, storage
and commission, banks, and other matters,
which will be found useful. It is published by
Messrs. Guieu &: Thompson, at the Constitu
tionalist office, Augusta.
ELECTIONS.”
ALABAMA.—It is now ascertained, that al
the recent elections in Alabama, the A ani Burcn
party has maintained its ascendancy. - lost 0
the whig papers in that State now admit, that
<>ii joint ballot in the legislature, the Van l,uren
members will have a majority.
NORTH CAROLINA.—There is still some
uncertainty hanging over the political complex-
ion of the recently elected legislature of North
Carolina. The Raleigh Standard stales, that
there will be a small majority of Van Burcn men
on joint ballot, and that senator Manghum, who
has violated instructions, will not be re-elected.
ARKANSAS.—The elections in this young
est southern State, have resulted decidedly in
favor of the democratic party. Conway is elect
ed governor; and Yell, representative in con-
cress. It is understood, that Sevier and Fulton
wili he candidates for the United States’ senate,
and will have no opposition. These are all V an
Buren men. Two-thirds of the legislature also
are said to he in favor of Van Burcn.
MISSOURI.—In this State also the demo
cratic ticket has obtained a decisive triumph.—
The Van Burcn candidate for the executive has
been elected by a strong majority; and there is
a large majority of Van Burcn men in the legis
lature.

FOR THE FEDERAL UNION.
To the Union Parly of Georgia.
Nothing but a sincere desire for your good,
and the welfare of our common country, could
induce tho humble writer of this article to im.
pose himselt upon your patience. Tho pcculi-
arityof our situation, the exposed and danger
ous attitude which the party now assumes, con-
neelcd with the probable consequences that may
result from its action at the approaching elec
tions, have awakened in my bosom feelings of
unfeigned interest and anxious solicitude. The
time is drawing nigh, when you will bo called
on, to select from a list of candidates, one upon
whom to bestow your suffrages for the highest
office in your gift. At present, the nam*?s of
Daniel Webster of Massachusetts, William II.
Harrison of Ohio, Hugh L. White of Tennes
see and Marlin Van Bureu of Now Aork,
ave presented as candidates, one of whom is
to represent you as the chief executive of this
Union. The two former gentlemen arc mem.
hors of tho same political party. They arc
federalists. The two latter, have been hitherto
members of the same political party, and re
garded as republicans. Lately, however, we
regret to say, Judge \Y bite has gone over lo
the interests of the federalists and nullificrs.—

people of his own State. General Harrison

of the whigs anti nullificrs, was nominated l>y a
caucus of a half a dozen congress men, entered
upon the turf, nnd started, (in the classic phrase-
’logy of his friends,) “with head and tail up.”
\lr. Van Burcn was nominated by an authorised
ionvention’of the republican party of the Union,
issembled by their delegates at Baltimore.—
Juriositv might lead us to inquire, how it is that
udge White and Mr. Van Burcn, formerly
political friends of the same party, arc now
contrary to its interest, arrayed against each
otcr? And why, as the constitution requires a
miiority and not a plurality of the votes of tho
pcoilc through their electoral colleges, to on-
titlothc candidate to election? Is it the caso
that here is such a number of candidates as to
ronde that result improbable? The question is
one oleasy solution. Upon its very lace ison-
stamptl the appalling truth, that the opponents
of the (resent administration have concerted to
gether brtlu; purpose of defeating an election
by the people!! Bo not surprised when I say
that it is m appalling truth! An attempt open
and avd/cd,* to “divide and conquer” the
democratic republican party, embracing, as it
docs, a laqe majority of the people of tho
Union; andto transfer out of their hands, into
those of conrross, the election of president.—
Will llie freemen of Georgia consent to this?
There is oto view of this subject which is
worthy to he Ld in everlasting remembrance
by every UniA nnn ill Georgia. Anterior to
the present confist, as well as at its opening,
Si _,-h was the ovirwhelming popularity of the
meat?”Tea of tho administration, that it was
clearly 'orceivcd ly the opposition, to be im
possible*fox* though acting under a per-
feet concentrn Von ff their whole strong.' 1 ', to
defeat the election the single and regular
candidate of the pa.”v without producing a di
vision in its ranks; whout inducing a member
of the Jackson party iself, to oppose the regu
larly nominated candid-tc. This was the only
plan that promised th- remotest prospect of
success. It was a gooione. The cry went
forth, who is the man?*w, C re to he found? who
is able to consummate thitproject and willing to
lend himself the instrument of its accomplish
ment? After some casting about and inquiry,
Mr. Wilde of Georgia washeard, through the
public, prints to say, “If jAu desire to defeat
the election of Martin Van jluren in the south,
Hugh L. White of Ternesso- is your man.”—
The thing took; a Judas was found; consulta
tion was had; u caucus held, Aid Judge White,
prompted by his consummate vanity, the elbow,
ing of a fond and amhilious wife, by the pro
curement of the whigs and nullifiers, was nomi
nated as a candidate for the chief magistracy.
We will not he so uncharitable as to suppose,
that the Judge was insensible to those com
punctions of conscience which arise from
sense of guilt, or that he failed to contemplate
the ignominy which the betrayal of his friends
would certainly bring upon him. But when he
ruminated upon the idea that “HUGH L
WHITE, CANDIDATE for PRESIDENT,”
was to be emblazoned in capitals large as life, hi.
sense of duty to his country, and justice to his
friends, was unequal to the shock. He could
not resist the temptation, lie consented to di
vide the Democratic Republican party. He
threw himself into the arms of his former ene
mies to he used against his- friends. I know,
that, when subsequently charged with opposi
tion to the administration, he declared in rcplv,
that his opposition was “fanciful.” But this, as
the circumstances have shown, was hut the be
trayal of his friends with a kiss. What has
since been his course in llie senate of the United
States? Co-operating and concurring with the
enemies of the party almost on every question,
he lias proven his opposition to be real.
Does any man doubt his npostacy from the
administration? Look at this! lie is toe can
didate of the nullifiers of Georgia. He is the
candidate of nullifiers of Alabama, and Mis
sissippi, and South Carolina. He is tho candi-
date of the federalists and nullifiers of North
Carolina and Virginia. In short, wherever
nominated, he is supported by the enemies of
the Union party of Georgia! The conviction
is irrcsistable, and those who doubt his opposi-
tion to us, are laboring under the most fatal de.
lusion.
In order to impress upon your minds with
greater weight, the certainty of tire plans of
tho opposition to suppress a fair expression of
tho will of tho people, it is well, that wc arc not
left to grope our way through the mists of con
jecture. For this end, “let facts he submitted
to a candid world.” This intention to defeat
tho people’s will by multiplying the number of
candidates, lias been long since openly and
distinctly avowed. “The plan of the campaign,”
so called, was determined upon in high council,
and fearlessly announced in a series of numbers,
which appeared at the opening of the contest,
in the National Intelligencer, printed at Wash
ington City, edited as you know, by an unre-
lenting opponent to the democratic party.—
Wat [tlan was to run Judge White in the south,
Mr. Webster at the north and general Harrison
in tire west. Further, if this did not in its
operation portend certain success, a candidate
was 1o he gotten up, if possible, in each State of
the Union; jwd, in fine, any and every ex.
podient, foul o; Ciir, was to he tried, in order to
accomplish this o.,' v;c i an j defeat a fair expres
sion of the public w.'!. I s no t this a startling
fact, and will not the u^emen of Georgia awake
to a sense of tiieir danger?
it is important to our oi^ et, hero to inquire,
does Judge White concur in t.lfis “plan of tho
campaign?” I fas lie permitttu (,j s name to he
used in the south by the nullificrsto consummate
this plan? These questions need in reply from
me. You see that his name is announced in
Georgia, and lhat the design of the nuhifiers to
divide the Union parly has been fully a^ ^ted
to by him, in the fact of his consenting to \, e .
cornea candidate. He is the candidate ofojr
political enemies, and if elected, they claim, that
his measures will conform to their principles.
Under these circumstances, what will the
Union men of Georgia do? Will they.acqui
esce in this “plan of the campaign” concocted
by their opponents, for tho open and avowed
purpose of defeating them? Can they conseni
to support him, who had not the moral firmness
lo resist the glitter nnd allurements of a splendid
candidacy, allhough impelled to do so by every
consideration of justice, expediency and safety
to the party? Will they cast their votes for a
mongrel electoral ticket of nullifiers and Union
men, pledged to support Judge White, when it
is known too, that his election is worse than
hopeless? Will any member of the Union party
thus consent to deliver himself hound hand and
foot, into the custody of the nullificrs, and sell
his precious birthright for less—far less than a
mess of porridge? Will Union men, who have
gallantly and successfully repelled the attacks
of disunionists; who have frustrated the wicked
arts o( a faction, whose motto is “rule or ruin,”
become the willing dupes of a coalition, ingeni
ous, desperate, anil co-rupt? God forbid!!
Let the views now taken of this subject suffice
for this appeal. I come not to denounce tlmso
of our friends, who, on account of their preju
dices for Judge White as their former friend or
a southern man, differ with me. This is no
part of my intention. I can, however, as one,
who has struggled with you side by side in our
darkest days, entreat you not to ho deceived by
the many slanderous imputations of the nullifi-
ers against the candidates of the republican par
ty of the Union. I conjure you by every tio
that hinds us together as a baud of brothers; hy
evory principle that is sacred to our cause, to
our parly, and to the Union, to frown down this
attempt by your political enemies to create dis
sensions and divisions among you. I assure
you, that the party is at stake, in danger, and if
its friends now desert it, it is gone in Georgia,
and perhaps forever.
Much more might ho said, and there are other
and strong views which might lie taken of this
subject, going to show the designs of the opposi
tion, and the great impolicy of supporting Judge
White. But enough is said for the present.—
Finally, I implore you to investigate this sub
ject, to revolve in your minds locally and gen
erally the consequences that depend upon your
course—to deeply consider nnd inwardly digest
this matter, before you plunge yourselves and
your friends into the pit dug for you by your
political opponents. ONE OF YOU.
“General \V»t*on, of Cotamliat, one of the electors put
upon the Van lluren ticket, tins requested that hi* mine
shall he taken down, on the zround that he was opposed to
him as a member of Ihe Clark party, and that lie has s"on
no reason lo change the opinion* he then entertained: mid
besides, the general was very well content to leave a falling
house. There is not the slightest donlH a* to the total de
feat of the Van Buren party of Georgia."
The foregoing precious specimen of veracity,
wc copy from the Mobile Chronicle. And wo
scarcely know why, either. To contradict any
thing the nullificrs say at this time with regard
to the election—or .any of the candidates, with
the hope thnt they will give tho slightest atten
tion to truth and justice, is to show oneself very
'ignorant of the course they have laid down for
beating Mr. Van Burcn, and guilty ofa creduli
ty worse than puerile. We happen to know
the cause which induced general Watson to
withdraw his name from the electoral ticket,
and know that it is entirely different from the
one above stated: and that the paragraph is,
consequently, as far ns relates to general Wat
son, wholly destitute of truth; os we believe it
is in regard to ihe prospects of the Yan Burcn
party. General Watson is now n private citi-
zen, and it would be unmannerly in us to bring
him before the public without his own desire.—
Nor do we consider it necessary. Genera!
Watson Imd good and sufficient reasons to satis,
fy himself that he ought not to run, and he ex
ercised his undoubted privilege of refusing to do
so. Bi.'t we are proud to hail him still a staunch
Van t?ur^n republican, with us heart and hand,
lie will vole the Van Buren ticket at the ensu-
ing election, ai.'d afford his hearty co-operation
tolhe friends ot'iha' gentleman. So much for
the Chronicle news of Georgia politics. Now
wo have not the most remote idea that the- eui-
tors of the Chronicle will put themselves to the
least trouble to correct their m^tatement. R
they do, it will certainly bean unus'otd course.
Wc shall see.
As to M r. Van Buren’s prospects in this 5tate,
we do not care to say much about them unit J th6
election is over. Bui—if tho nnllifteis do not
get worse belt this bout than they liave ever
been before, Sen we are not of the -‘children of
the prophets.” That’s all we have lo say now.

“Si. Augustine, (R. F.) August 21.
“Sir—Our troops liave had another battle
with tho Indians, and I have the satisfaction
to state lhat they conducted themselves on this
occasion with their accustomed intrepidity and
energy. Itseemstliat Major Fierce, command*
ing at Micanopv, suspected that there were In
dians lurking about Camp Drane; he therefore
determined to undertake an expedition against
them. For tins purpose ho marched at 2 o’clock
or. the morning of the 21st, with one hundred
and ten mounted men and a field piece, fifty men
commanded by captain Childs of the third ar
tillery, nnd lieutenant Spaulding of the Dra
goons,—fifty men by lieutenants Irwin and Her
bert of the first artillery. He arrived at Fort
Drane about sunrise—attacked the Indians,
who proved to he numerous, say three hundred
Miecasucky Indians, headed by Powell. Lieu
tenants Irwin and Herbert on the right, captain
Ciiilth a„d lieutenant Spaulding on the left, the
artillery ut the centre commanded by lieutenant
Pickcll. Surgeons Tripier and Berry accom
panied the expedition. All attacked them with
great vigor and spirit. It ia evident that Powell
was either taken l.y surprise or outgeneraled,
as he lost five men b<-f„re a rifie was fired on his
side. The Indians wor^driven into a dense
and extensive hummock, ihree quarters of a
mile, and the troops in a hurried passage over
the field counted ten dead.
“This was a well contested cng a ^ nrnnnt t } )C
Indians fighting with tho most detern,; nc d l, ra _
very for upwards of an hour. The recesses
into which the Indians relired could not be pen-
etrated by Muj. Pierce’s exhausted and inferior
force. lie therefore marched liis detatchmem
hack to Micanopv, leaving no killed or wound
ed on the field.
“Our loss in killed and wounded is as fol
lows:
“Killed 1.—Sykes of‘G.’ company 7 , first ar
tillery'.
“Wounded 16.—Of whom Lieut. Belts (Ad
jutant) is one, being slightly wounded in the
thigh.
“The officers and men ail justified llie most
sanguine expectations entertained of them, and
merit the highest praise for tlicir gallantry and
enterprise.
“Jackson, a wagon master, well acquainted
with the localities of Fort Drane, volunteered
his services as a guide on the march, and, as a
soldier in the engagement, behaved with distin
guished bravery; was twice Severely wounded,
and lost a valuable horse. It is hoped he will
bo liberally rewarded, as he deserves to he.
“I ought to observe that none of the wounds
are considered dangerous.
“The Indians, it appears, had erected a vil
lage at Fort Drane, and were living with tlicir
families.
“I have collected tho foregoing facts from ihe
official reports, and if they appear worthy of be
ing made known to the public, I have no objec
tion to their insertion in one of the journals.

The Kentucky Volunteers Disbanded.—Ge

addressed to the Governor of Kentucky, a copy
of which was soul to him by express from
F rankfort.—Obserrcr.
Hermitage, August 7, 1S3G.
Sin—Arriving at this place on the evening of
5th insi. I was made acquainted wilh the requi
sition of Gen. Gaines on the Governors of Ten
nessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana,
for 1000 men from each State. The letter of
Gen. Gaines nnd the proclamation of Gov. Can
non, of Tennessee, made known the basis of this
requisition. Regarding the reasons assigned by
Gen. Gaines as not consistent with the relations
which we have maintained with Mexico, since
the existence of the civil war in Texas, or with
those which ii is our duty and wish to cultivate
with that Govermcnt, as long as it observes good
faith and friendship in its intercourse with the
United States, 1 feel myself called on to inform
you that that requisition has not r< ceived my
approbation, and I trust, if the men called for
have been brought into the field, you will lortii-
with cayse them to he mustered and discharged,
and await for further orders from tho General
Government in respect to any other requisition
for tho militia.
The 10,000 volunteers authorized by tho late
.act of Congress have been apjiortionod among
the States and Territories nearest to the theatre
of actual or apprehended hostilties from the In
dians. They are considered sufficient, com
bined with the regular troops, to maintain the
peace of the frontier, and to terminate the war
which now exists with the Creeks and Senfi-
noles. All of them have not been brought into
the field, but Gen. Gaines was notified that 1000
volunteers in Arkansas, and 1000 in Missouri,
had received orders to be organized nnd held in
readiness for one year’s service, should the
emergency arise, making their employment ne
cessary on the frontier now commanded by him.
This circumstance makes the present requisite:}
of Gen. Gaines still more unaccountable, par
ticularly as it is believed that our western fron
tier is now tranquil. Under these circum
stances, you will please cause the troops called
been raised, to bo discharged. They will be
paid as soon as an appropriation by Congress can
be obtained for this purpose. I am, very re
spectfully, your obedient servant,
ANDREW JACKSON.

they give the deaths of seven blacks, by that
disease. On llie 31st, the Board reported that
cloven cases had come to the knowledge of tho
Special Committee, appointed by tho Board,
since Tuesday last, 1 o’clock, two of which have

peratc habits. The Board promiso to report
daily all cases that come to their knowledge, and
call on the citizens not to be alarmed, by the
numerous reports, daily put in circulation, but
to place implicit reliance on their daily reports,

LATEST FROM TEXAS.
Tho schooner Julius Caesar arrived in our
port this morning, after a short run of four
days, from Brazoria. By her we have receiv
ed the annexed intelligence, contained in letters
and extracts from tho Columbia (Texas) Telo-
aph of 16th inst. It embraces every thing
of interest in regard to the situation of that
country, which was in a prosperous condition.
Mr. II. M. Morfet, who was sent by tho U-
nited States to ascertain tho political situation
of Texas, and who had just returned from the
Sabine, we are requested to state, took passage
in the Julius Caesar from Balisc, on her last to
Brazoria.
Summerville, tho Secretary of war. has re-
signed iu consequence of pecuniary embarrass,
meats.
A corps of between two to throe hundred
Cavalry is now being raised in Texas, to act as
Independent Rangers to tho west. They are
to receive an additional compensation of one
dollar per day when on actual duty.
• Colcjiuxa, August 16.
Messrs. Archer and Warton liave just return
ed from the army with a commission to the exe
cutive at Valasco, and - .ve are glad that harmo
ny a^d good feeling reign between these two
parts of ihe community, and that a united co
operation trill ho the result in tho measures pro
moted for the aggrandisement and glory of Tex
as. Tho army is in fine spirits, and supports
cheerfully the hardships .and fatigues incidental
to a state of war—it is also in good discipline.
They will again set out in afetv days for head
quarters.
The Crops.—Wo aro informed by a gentle
man from the eastern department of Texas,
that crops in that part of the country will ex
ceed this ye.tr, thoso of any previous. The
season throughout Texas, has been uncommon
ly favorable, and could tho citizens have culti
vated their lands, the crops in all parts would
hare been abundant. Even the lands on tho
river San Antonio, which generally suffer most
from drought, would this year have produced
abundantly without irrigation. On the Brazos
and Colorado, the corn planted after the battle
of San Jacinto, will probably produce a suffi
ciency for tho consumption of the inhabitants.
The planters are beginning to pick their cot-
ton, which promises to yield tolerably well, con
sidering the circumstances and events which
have lately afflicted tho country.
Information from the Interior.—Mr. Peter
Suzcman, a gcutletr.aa of considerable intelli
gence arrived here a few days since,direct from
.Matamnras, which pluco ho left on the 12th ult.
Ho says tho Mexican army has by desertion,
been reduced to about 2200 men, lhat they aro
in a miserable situation. Urrea was still in
command. Andrade had left for the south.—
Mr. S. say3 lie is confident no campaign will he
made against Texas this year, and lie doubts
very much whether the Mexican, nation will
consider it politic ever to mnko another. lie
confirms the report ofa revolution having brok
en out in the interior, and says that General
Valencia had been proclaimed Dictator by tho
military. IIe*also states that Generals Sezma
au ’t Filisola had been arrested and tried by a
court martial, for cowardice and mismanage
ment m t| le Texas campaign, and that the lat
ter had bee n condemned to be shot, lie repre
sents tin, feelings >f the foreigners in Matanro-
rns, as decidedly j n 0 ur favor, and says that in
the event of a compqjgn against that place they
would unite with Texas.

Attempt to kidnap Santa Anna!! Bv tho
schooner Julius Caesar, just arrived from Velas
co, Texas, reports that tho America schooner
Passaic, Hughes, hence and loaded „; t |, p ro _
visions, wines, Ac. and cleared for Texas, un
der pretence of trading—that tlicir real p ur .
pose was to smuggle Santa Anna on hoard, bur
before all their plans had matured they were
discovered in the act of going for him. Tho
Texian government have seized the schooner
and imprisoned nil concerned.
The American minister, Mr. Poinsett, had
left Velasco for Galveston Island. He sent
despatches to his government by the Julius Cae
sar. The Julius Ctesar reports the Texian
schooner Invincible, captain Bruce, having met
about thirty miles from the south west bar, in
chase of the schooner Venus; she was within
half a mile of her, and she is no doubt a prize
by this time.

GENERAL SCOTT.
Wo have been put in possession of a letter
from general Scott to a gentleman, in relation
to the mode in which Iiis controversy with gen-’
oral Jesup has been drawn into the newspapers.
He says:
“I liave not written a word lo the Bulletin; I have not, in
fact, suggested a line or a fact for any newspaper whatever.
So far from doing any thing in that way, I have taken care
lo c■inverse but little, even wilh my frictala, on military
matter* in controversy, lest my know ledge of circumstance*
and my feeling* should find their way into the public pa
pers, being aware lhat in the great political contest now
raging, every tiling likely to change a vote would be aeizeil
upon fur the purpose. - ’
In reference to the particular publications of
Webb and King, alluded to in the Globe, the
general says:
‘•This day, Wednesday week, 1 went over to New A ark
and met colonel Webb, close by Trtniry Church; after llie
ordinary salutation, I asked him whence ho derived the par-
or the day hut one before? In the act of evading^he inqui
ry* he was interrupted by Charles L. Livingston, who join-
ed us. lie then unished the answer, end staled to 3lr. L.
my question. After some jocose remarks, lie invited Mr. L.
and myself to spend the following Saturday evening and
Sunday at his house, on Lon" Island. I declined, on tlx*
ground that I did not wish to associate wilh politician*, un
der ray circumstances, as 1 might be led to speak of recent
military events, &c. Mr. L., who is a strong supporter of
Mr. Van Buren, and myself, then walked up Broadway, and
colonel Webb down. The next day I again went over lo
New York, and chanced to meet Mr. Charlos King. An
article in his paper a day or two before, headed agent rul in
search of the government, bad been pointed out'to me. 1
asked him whence he derived the knowledge ol ibe particu
lar*? &c. Ho gave me no satisfactory answer; v'Iigi 1 re
marked to him, as I the day before had said to Webb, as
thv» work! will attribute the article to mu: I declare before
God, that I am ns ignorant of tho source of either article, as
Mr. Blair himself can be.”
Upon the absolute and circumstantial denial
made by general Scott himself, we unhesitating
ly declare, that we acquit him of the suspicion
of having prompted the attempt to divert his
case into a political channel, anJ make it sub
serve party interests, nnd so avail himself of
party support. General Scott will certainly,
however, pardon the mistake, inasmuch as
foresaw that “all the world will attribute the ar
ticles to him.” Webb’s display of the letter,
and King’s hue and cry of “a general in search
of the government,” being simultaneous with
the arrival of general Scott in New York, was
calculated to fasten tiio impression on us more
than others, because on inquiry at the depart
ment, wo learned that no copy of the original
letter on file had ever been made out, lint that
taken on by general Scott to Now York; and
also, that the geueral had reported himself to
the acting secretary of war—had demanded a
court of inquiry, and the demand was complied
with, which, as it concluded his business with
the department, left no doubt in our mind that
if he had other objects, rendering the pursuit of
the secretary necessary, he had communicated
the exigency to thoso editors who represented
tho absence of that officer, as a wrong to gener
al Scott.
In taking this, wa trust, last notice of the
rrelitnry concerns winch arc to become the sub
ject of investigation before a military tribunal,
it is proper that wo should say that wo have
never meddled voluntarily in them. It will he
remembered that captain Hitchcock wrote an
elaborate paper vindicating the campaign of
general Gaines, and reflecting with severity
upon other officers, to whom its failure was at
tributed. Among these were general Jesup?
who wa3 accused of not doing his duty in for
warding provisions. To this the general repli
ed through tho Globe, and captain Hitchcock
rejoined since the last campaign commenced.—
From this it will be seen that general Jesup had
no reason to suppose that from partiality to
him, we would refuse to give to the public any
statememt regarding the manner in which he
discharged his public duties. The Globe had
also published a multitude of general SeotFs or
ders' and letters, some of them bringing the
heaviest accusations against his inferior officers.
Some were sent to '*S for publication, as we u.i-
dersland, at h>s instance, and against the judg
ment of his friends. General Jesup had rea
son, therefore, to suppose that the letter of his
superior impcaching his conduct might find its
way to tho public under the direction of gen
eral Scott, as th/St accusing major Reed of cow
ardice had done before. He addressed his letter
to us, that we might at least understand t!tat lie
felt himself wronged, and meant to vindicate
himself before the pubhc through a court of in
quiry. His letter was of such a character that
we would have supposed he meant ii*® 1 ' l should
appear in tho columns of the Globe, if general
Scott’s despatch had become public, hut for the
circumstance that it was marked prirate; but j
this we considered only a precaution—a precau
tion observed by many of our correspondents—
against giving it in the columns of our paper.
We did not hold it to be a confidential letter, <>r
wo would not have given it to the files of the war
department, to be made a public and official
document. We understood general Jesup’s in
junction simply to say, that he did not wish to
begin newspaper war, but ho wished the presi
dent, and the editor of tho print which had
thrown so many of general Scott’s charges be
fore the public, to know that he looked to the re
port ofa court ofinquiry for his vindication; but
the spies for the opposition iu this city liave
been enabled to drag this private letter from the
files, and thus we have been dragged into the
controversy.
General Houston.—Wo liave a letter from
Genera! Houston before us, to a friend in this
city, which is characterized by the noblest sen
timent of patriotism. He has been recalled to
the head of the army by the voice of the people,
and the unanimous wish of the soldiers. Before
the war commenced, he had declared that he
never would hold a civil office in the country,
and when peace is restored, he is resolved to
retire to private life.
The opinion of General Houston is, that Tex
as, when it shall have asserted its independence,
will seek admission into the Union. ITo is,
himself, decidedly in favor of that course, con
sidering it essentia! to the interests of the new
country, and of much importance to the U-
nion.
.The story of General Houston’s difficulty
with the Cabinet, had its origin in a difference of
opinion wJtt, regard to the disposal of Santa An
na. The General wished him retained as a
prisoner, and keptsafr. The Cabinet wished to
release him. The design of the Cabinet on this
subject was counteracted by public opinion in
the absence of General Houston.
Tito account givon of General Honston hav-
ing received presents from Santa Anna is all
fabrication. Santa Anna’s saddle, whie.h the
General obtained, was bought for hint ni the
sale of spoils, without his khowledge, Sy j. fj.
Wharton, Esq. and for which lie gave throe
hundred and twenty-five dollars.
General Houston’s wound is stilt very had.—
The ball cut off the bone of the ancle, just above
the joint; twenty-two pieces of hone have come
out, and some seven or eight are yet to come.
His general health is improving. It was wretch
ed when he commenced the campaign; when he
reached New Orleans he was at the point of
death. The moment he is able, he savs, he will
repair to the army, in obedience to the call
which has been made upon him.—Globe.
Mr. Storrs, an abolitionist, attempted to lee.
ture in the Methodist chapel, at Exeter, N. II.

»has precccdcd it, nearly two hundred students

Mr. Churchiirs Case.—The Augsburg Ga
zette gives the following account of this affair,
from a Constantinople letter of July 20:—Lord
Ponsonby has obtained satisfaction. The Reis.
Effondi, AkifEffendi Muschir,hasbeen dismissed
and will be succeeded by the firmer Kaimakhiao
Kolussi Pacha. Lord Ponsonby appeared satis
fied; but has nevertheless, not yet reappeared
at the Foreign Office. The Sultan has pun
ished all those who had any share in the offence
committed towards England, in the person of
a subject of his Britannic Majesty. Justice must,
however, be rendered to Aikif Effendi, who
several times solicited hisown resignation.
