Mr. Editor—As there are many read
ers of vour paper, who arc interested in
the success of Oglethorpe University, it
may he gratifying to them to learn that
Mr! JOHN FOX, of Augusta, has given
to this institution the sum of FIVE

munificent donation; it entitles Mr. Fox to
the gratitude of every lrieiul of education

It is well f >r the country when wealth
passes into the hands of men who are
disposed to appropriate it to such valua
ble purposes. Comfortable, indeed, at
the close of life, must be the reflections of
those who in retrospect of the past, can
see that their affluence has not only min
istered to their own wants, hut has like
wise aided in developing the mental and
moral powers ol their species.
Will not this praiseworthy example be
followed? Cannot others I>e ibund who
will do likewise? If to throw open the

THE VIRGINIA DWARFS , consist
ing of two brothers and tWl sisters, ex
hibited three days of last week in Mil-
ledgeville, and present the most interest
ing group of the pigmy kind ever witness
ed in the United States. Their father,
Mr. Michael Walters, a farmer of
Wyth county, Virginia, exceeds in height
and weight the ordinary standard of meh,
and their mother is what may be consid
ered a large woman. Tlte issue eight
children, are all alive and ail health)' but
very different in size, four having an ex
cess of bone and muscle and four the di
minutive objects of these remarks. Major
HIRAM WALTERS, the eldest of the
children, weighing forty-three pounds, is
three feet seven inches high, and is twenty-
seven years of age. Miss ROXANA
WALTERS, twenty years old, is throe
feet high, and weighs thirty pounds; Miss
CATHERINE WALTERS, three feet
one inch high, and eighteen years old,
weighs thirty and a half pounds; and
Master WILLIAM WALTERS, nine
years old and two feet eight inches high,
weighs twenty-two pounds. In two re
spects this group of pigmies differ from
all other individuals of their order seen by
the writer or this article either in Europe
or America. Diminutiveness in size is
usually attended by an undue develope-
ment of some member and an irritability
of the nervous system, arising evidently
from sluggishness of the assimilating pro
cess; but the four little Walters are all so
cial and cheerful, and well proportioned
in limbs and trunk, besides possessing re
gularity of feature. Ind®eJ U )e Major
and Mfss CatV”*ie are in person minia
ture nitHlels of their sexes, and an inter
view with them will well repay the trifling
expense of admittance. The physical
impediments to their obtainingsubsistence
by manual exertion likewise gives them a
claim on the bounty of thebenificent, that
ought nyt to be resisted. But requisitions
on charity can hardly be contemplated in
a case in which an individual may realize
scenes of which Dean Swift could only
dream. BUFFON.
The legislature adjourned on Wednes
day. A larger quantity of business than
usual was transacted, some of which was
of much importance. See the list of acts
passed.
The court of appeals last established,
consisting of all the judges, is abolished,
and two appeal benches are now formed;
one consisting of the chancellors, lor equi
ty cases, and the other of the eircuitjudg-
es, for cases of common law. The chief
objection (that of a conflict of jurisdic
tion) which attended this system on its
trial some years ago, is now removed, by
the court of equity being required, in all
cases of disputed power, to follow the de
cision of the court of law.
Banking privileges have been granted
to the Louisville, Cincinnatti and Charles
ton Rail Road Company, under guarded
restrictions. The State has subscribed
to the stock one million of dollars, out of
the surplus revenue. Tlte accomplish
ment of this great undertaking is now ab
solutely secure.—Columbia Telescope, 24th

Gov. Call litis received orders to turn
the command over to Gen. Jessup. An ex
press, with a guard of forty men, left
Black Creek, Saturday last, for Gen, Je-
sttp’s camp, as nothing has been heard of
him since his arrival in Florida. During
his command, Gov. Call has had many
difficulties besides sickness, with which
contend, not generally known. It has
been suggested that he will demand a
Court of Inquiry. We learn from good
authority that the l’rsident has given
Gen. Jesttp positive instructions to estab
lish a Post and depot in the cove of the
Withlacooehee, and to remain there, till tlte
war is terminated. By an order of the Pre
sident, a depot to is be established on the
east side of the St. Johns at Volusia. Let
three or four others be established at proper
points near the enemy’s strong hold, not
i 00 miles distant, and bring as many thou
sand men to operate in different bodies,
with sufficient means of transportion, and
with skilful management, the war will
soon he ended, ’['lien the enemy could
soon he brought to terms whether powder
was scarce or not. Until some such
course is adopted, the enemy after fighting
while they have the advantage*, will elude
any body of men that is likely to he
brought against them.—Jaclcsonrille Cou
rier.
More Troops ordered to Florida.—Gene
ral Jessup has ordered two companies of
the 4th regiment of U. S. artillery men at
Fort Mitchell, under the command of cap
tain Washington, to march forthwith for
the mouth of the Withlacooehee. Also,
two companies of infantry, under com
mand of Major Dearbon, to proceed to
Fort Drane. These troops left Fort Mitch
ell on Christmas Day (last Sunday) ali
armed and cquiped. The following offi
cers accompanied captain Washington’s
command: lieut. Jones, licut. Drum, lieut.
0‘Brien, lieut. Lockwood, and Dr. Cuv

The fate of Mr. Edward Gould who
was engaged in the battle of Dunlawton
on the 18th of June last, is thus aunounced
in the St. Augustine Herald:
Having swam to an Island after the bat
tle was over, he was taken by the Indians
and carried to their camp. He was wound
ed in the thigh and they hound up his
wound and otherwise treated him kindly.
At sunset they stripped him of his cloth
ing, and told hirn to go, that he Was too
young to kill and they would not
hurt itim. He started from the camp and
and had proceeded aboutfifty yards, when
at a preconcerted signal, lie fell before
their treacherous rifles; twelve halls were
lodged in his body and he died without a
groan

I think it veTY improbable whether the
Cherokee tdfairs, can be brought, to a
close within the time prescribed by the
treaty. The duties of the commission
ers are almost innumerable. Of the par
ticular difficulties I will speak when
more at leisures
In regard to our company I will say,
that our men are perfectly satisfied. All
the terror in regard to the regular sendee,
is wholly removed. Ido not believe there
is a man in the company who would wish
to exchange the service, for that oi* the
State. This has been principally effected
by the politeness and courtesy of the com
manding general Wool.
General Wool left here on a visit to his
other posts, on Monday last, leaving lieu

captain Derrick having been ordered to
Ilall and Lumpkin, on special duty.

zette of November 22:
Little Rock, (Arkansas,) November 20.
To His Excellency James S. Conway, Governor Arkansas:
>Sir—1 have the honor to inform you
that today a detachment, consisting of a-
hout three thousand and two hundred emi
grant Creek Indians, under my direction,
have arrived within one and a half miles
of this place, and Ibr reasons that will be
obvious to your excellency, have to re
quest that you will use such means as you
may deem most expedient to prohibit said
Indians from being passed from the op
posite to this bank of the river.
I beg leave to assure your excellency
that, had I not been coiffined to my room
from sickness, I should have done myself
the honor of calling in person.
I have the honor to be your excellen
cy’s most obedient servant,

(_This is the third patty of Indians
which havp passed our town, within two
wci'KS, for the west. About fifteen thou
sand of the tribe, are now traversing the
Stale from east to west—making an al
most continuous line from Rock Roe to
our western boundary. Although they
are by no means hostile or threatening,
yet they are unquestionably a great an
noyance lo the public and ought always
to he sent with a strong guard. This par
ty suffered considerable privation for the
want of corn and other supplies, and what
they succeeded in procuring was St enor
mous prices. The Indians lost several
hundred horses of an inferior kind.—Ar

It will be seen, from our Harrisburg
correspondence, that Mr. Buchanan has
been most triumphantly re-elected to the
United States’ seriate, having received the
entire democratic vote of the two houses
of the legislature; and the opposition be
ing divided, nearly equally, on two candi
dates. We congratulate our friends on
the result, not only because we have se
cured the services of tin able and experi
enced statesman, who is an honor to the
State and the party, hut because it has
demonstrated, that the democracy of the
State is once more cordially united, and
will not suffer itself to be distracted by
the artifices of the opposition.—Pennsyl

Parents and Guardians Beware!!!—It is
said that in several of the colleges, the
students form societies, in which an oath
of secrecy is taken, and principles incul
cated hostile to the federal government:
hence the reason why so many of the
graduates are enemies to the Union: better
that your sons should never enter such
institutions, than to have their conscien
ces stained with wicked oaths.

Anti-Slavery Fracas.—An attempt was made
to hold an anti-slavery meeting at the Babtist
church in this village a few nights since.
There was some excitement during the day on
which the meeting was lo he held, but not suf
ficient to lead us to suppose any decided meas
ures would be taken to suppress the meeting.
However, in the evening, some half dozen abo
litionists, together with some individuals whose
curiosity led them in, made up the audience,
and the services commenced. They went on
undisturbed, until the singing of the second

rose without tiiC building, accompanying the
air verv like the trumpet’s blast it) Martin
Luther’s judgment lit mu; the orator commen
ced his discourse, and soon the church bell sent
forth a most dolorous tolling, and stones and
other missiles came pouring in at the windows;
and among other articles thus unceremonious-
v showered in, was a bottle whose crash upon
the floor declared at once the nature of its con
tents; it was very evident that one or more lit
tle spotted unmentionable animals had been de
prived o{ their only means of defence; and it
truly had a most magical effect. The house
was cleared instantly; the audience, we be
lieve, suffering no serious bodily injuries or in.
convenience, barring a slight iebellion among
the weaker stomachs. Thus closed the abo
lition lecture almost before it commenced, and
before 10 o’clock our streets vere as quiet as
though nothing unusual had happened.—[JSetc.

REDUCTION OF REVENUE.
Mr. Calhoun after giving notice that he
would on tomorrow ask leave to introduce
a bill to*extend the provisions of the 14th
section ol the distribution bill of last ses
sion, beyond tlte present year,’ said he
would take occasion to ask of the chair
man of the committee on Finance if when
lie moved the reference of a part of the
message ol the president to that commit
tee, he had included in the motion so
much as relates to the reduction of the
revenue.
Mr. # Wright was not prepared to say
whether this particular subject came in
the scope ol the motion, as the committee
had not as yet compared their views on
the subject.
Mr. Calhoun then said that, in order to
remove all ambiguity, he would move the
reference of so much of the president’s
message, as relates to the reduction of the
revenue to the Committee on Finance.
The president had treated the reduction
of the revenue merely as a financial ques
tion, and he would therefore subm'n. fi, e
motion he had named.
The motion was agreed to.
Mr. Southard, on leave, introduced a
bill for the relief of certain officers of the
ship Boston, which was read twice and
referred,
Mr. Sevier, on leave, introduced a bill
for the relief of the legal representatives
of Bartholomew Butcher, which was read
twice and referred.
PUBLIC LANDS.
Mr. Clay, on leave, introduced a bill to
appropriate for a limited time the proceeds
ol the public lands of the United States,
and granting lands to certain States, which
was read twice, and referred to the com
mittee on the public lands.
Mr. Clay, introducing the bill, made
some explanations, in substance as follows:
He stated that the bill which had several
times passed the Senate, and had once
passed the House, in reference to this
subject, had fixed the commencement of
the appropriation for the last day of the
year 18-32, to continue for five years from
that date, and made the distribution on
principles which were well known to the
Senate. By the passage of the deposite
bill of tlte last session, a large portion of
the lunds which would have been appro
priated under the provisions of that bill,
had been differently appropriated. He
had, therefore, refrained from giving to
the present bill u retrospective character,
but had $o drawn it that it should com
mence on the last day of the present year,
to continue until the last day of the vear
1S44. His motive for fixing this as (he
period for the termination of the provisions
of the act, would be obvious. At that
time, the biennial reductions of the re
venue under the compromise act, would
cease, and the reduction of a moiety of the
duties beyond twenty per cent, would be
made. It will then become necessary for
Congress to decide, if there shall there
after continue to be a distribution of that
portion of the revenue arising from the
sales of public lands among the States, or
whether it shall he applied to meet the
necessary expenditures of the government.
He had thought it proper to restore the
original clause-, by which the Slates were
restricted in the application of the funds,
to the objects of education, internal im
provement and colonization. He believed
the effect of this restriction would be re
lieve the States from the controversies
which might otherwise arise as to the
manner in which the proceeds should be
applied. The bill provides for assignment
to the new State of Arkansas of her fair
projtortion of the proceeds. He had made
no such provision for Michigan, because
her admission was not yet complete. But
whenever that may happen, by provision
in the bill that State also will be equally
entitled. In all other respects, the bill
was the same as the last.
