ABOLITION.—ERRORS CORREC-
'pj.;j).—Tiie management of the uullifiers
on the abolition subject presents one of the
i,r>si singular leal uros in the political oper
ations of the day. All of their movements
tend to strengthen the abolitionists; and
vet thev protest 1 to be the only guardians
of the .South ag t i it st the designs of the fa
natics. They ha ve left the proper de
fence of the South, to hazard our safety
<ui principles which are doubtful, if not
certainlv false, and on which tlicv have
hcen beaten iti argument by the aboli
tionists. Atone time they rest their rights
on the intrinsic excellence of domestic
slavery. At another time they make the
ijiiestion turn on some other immaterial
point. This is precisely wlnt lhe aboli
tionists desire. On tlmse questions they
contend with at least doubtful success;
an I this advantage gives them a pretext
for asserting, that they arc maintaining
ilic cause of truth. This is one of the
inodes in which llieuulliliers have strength
ened the .abolitionists.
During the last session of Congress,
the nulkiiers constantly labored to get up
delate <>:t the :i!> ilition petitions; and
Wise, who, we are informed, is not a be
liever in the absurd doctrine of nullifica
tion, hut who acted ns the leader of the
imllifiers, expressed high gratification at
the presentation of abolition petitions, ex
claiming, “glory! glory!” This was pre-
fisvlv what the .abolitionists desired. It
gave them a show of importance, and ;m
opportunity of raising that overstrained
excitement; bv which alone they could
hope to make proselytes.

The movement

lnve all tended to paralize, and overthrow
lliv abolitionists. Instead of encouraging
agnation, or resting the defence of the
rights ol the South on any doubtlhl pp.-d-
tiuiigtli v strove even to prevent discus-
don; and they plainly declared, that if
fongiV'S possessed, I>v i lie Constitution,
a right, to touch lhe question of slavery in
the District of’Coltnnbin, yet the exercise
ol this right would he a breach of faith to
wards the shivi'h d !;tig States, and would
‘airy in it sij.-h flagrant and dangerous
injuries to them, that it. would induce the
'vh.de South iimnc.liatelv to withdraw
fnitu the Union. The course pursued by
•he (leiiioeruiie party was wise and pru-
dcut; it h i. 1 the effort of uniting again, t
the abol:!imlists, tin* friends ol the Union,
.n the vutii and the South, and of cahn-
tagtli.' jihrensied exciteincnt, by means of
which these lunatics laid hoped to suc-
eml, and of thinning the number of their
partisans throughout the non-slavc-hold-
ing State#.
The (Jeurgi i Journal has endeavored
to distinguish itself among its fellows, for
its ext rant’d iua rv zcttl in laboring to draw
fomeadvantage to its parly from the use
ol this topic. It is always true to its own
character. Assuming an air of import
ance, and using the language ofpertness,
Jt seems to flmcy that it will be admired
lor wisdom and wit; and it gives out its
uphill Hie ? as i f it really believed that they
Wuiilil l, c ivspected.
J’relerring its own inference to the ex
plicit declarat ions of Messrs. Cleaveland,
Draiulaiid, llavncs, and ()wens, it charges
these representatives with maintaining
“‘e opinion, “That Congress has aright
t" legislate on the matter of slavery” in
lilt* District of Columbia. Iff have ex
pressed this constitutional opinion; and a
few months ago were assailed on account
ol it by the Georgia Journal. We repel
led the atm k, and refuted the arguments
oltu u press v ii'u so much ease, that it
"as like handling an infant. The Journal
never returned to the charge. But we then
ui’ueved, mul we st ill believe, that the excr-
ns power by Congress is opposed
■ lions ;it least as strong as any
^ui'titmional prohibition; and that the
uoutheru States ought to withdraw from
federal l nion, however high maybe

,,rn . . O O O ’
I o your second interrogatory I answer,
that I do not believe Congress possesses
any constitutional power to abolish slav
ery in the District of Columbia, or in any
of the territories of the United States, nor
power so to legislate therein, as to affect
lltc institution of slavery in any manner
whatever.” (See Fed, Un. of Sept. 20tli,
1S-JG.) Me believe that Messrs. Cleve
land and Owens made equally explicit
and public declarations of the same opi-
nion, but we are unable at present to lay
out- hands on them.
Such is the reckless manner in which
the Georgia Journal endeavors to draw
some advantage from the use of this to
pic. What language is too harsh to be
applied to such a press?.
Jti commenting on the despicable course
of the malignant old dotard from Massa
chusetts, the Journal says, “We cannot
but consider this aggravating insult but a
/rgi/nii/itc consequence from lhe refusal of
Southern members to act in concert on
(be question of reception of petitions on
the subject of slavery.” A most legitimate
conclusion' Because citizens of the United
States have a right petition their gov
ernment, therefore slaves have this right!
Because the government is bound to re
ceive the petitions of citizens, it is there
fore bound to receive the petit ions of’slaws!
Does the Journal hope, by pouring out
such foolish stuff, to lead public opinion?
Docs it believe that the people of Georgia
are as stupid as debased Hottentots, and
that they may be deceived by the most
absurd sophisms? Or is this press labor
ing to outstrip its compeers in the nice of
popularity, and to commend itself to the
peculiar patronage of its party, by the ex
travagance of its zeal?
We always regret the occurrence of
:my circumstances making it proper for us
to add to our discussion of political Ques
tions, such strictures on the managers of
the press. We entertain no unkind feel
ings toward the editor of the Journal,
whose talent, and learning, and industry
we highly respect. But we wish that,
as a controversialist, lie felt more forcibly
tlie obligations of truth and justice. He
lias recently presumed too far on our for
bearance; and we owe it to ourselves and
to the public to apply some corrective to
the licentiousness of his press.
MAJOR ALFORD.—We congratulate
the uullifiers at the wondrous accounts of
the eloquence of tlieir representative, with
which some anonymous letter-writer has
favored the Charleston Mercury. It would
seem that Maj. Alford is a vastly improv
ing man. In some parts of Georgia we
arc very familiar with his exhibitions; and
lie lias been somewhat noted as a mem
ber of the State Legislature. We have
often seen smiles elicited by his speeches
—smiles of surprize at his singular ex
travagance. He yvas always wild and
furious; but there was generally some
thing grotesque mingled with his bursts
ol passion. He speaks like a ferocious
desperado; but while men might thought
him dangerous in his madness, they- could
not retrain from laughing at the outre style
of his argument and elocution. If it be
true, that lie is admired at Washington,
as tin able debutant, his faculties long lay-
dormant, and have been strangely- deve
loped since his last term in the legislature
of the .Slate.
Men hear him speak with unbridled
and indecent fury, and conclude, that he
is a bring of most direful and vindic tive
passions. It is this manner that has given
him notoriety tit Washington. But we
tire persuaded that lie does not entertain
at heart Lite diabolical feelings,with which
he labours to strengthen and decorate his
speeches.
RIOT IX XLW-YORK.—A tumul
tuous assembly was convened in New
Dirk, bv the. following placard:
BREAD, MEAT, 1IEXT, FUEL!
THEIR tUUCKS MUST COME llOW.v!
The voice of the people shall be heard,
and will prevail! The people will meet
in the Park, ram or shine, at 4 o’clock, on
Monday afternoon, to inquire inLo the
cause oftlio present unexampled distress,
and to devise a suitable remedy. All
friends nfhumauity, determined to resist
monopolists and extortioners, are invited to
attend. (Sinned bv eight citizens.) Feb.
lOtli, 1S37.
The following account of the proceed
ings is given bv the Journal of Commerce:
At four o’clock, ;i co. c mrse of several thou
sands luu! convened in front of the City Hall—
coin|«iscd, as we arc assured, of the very ca-
imitle of tlie city, and combining within i'.sell
all the elements ol outrage, riot and revolution.
Moses J-.iqtics was selected as the fitting chair
man of such a meeting. But order was not the
presiding genius on the occasion, and the meet
ing was divided into various groups, each of
which was harangued by sonic chosen dema
gogue, after his own fashion, and on Ins own
account.
Conspicuous among the orators, was Alexan
der Ming, jun. patriot who has several times
been honored as one of tbe Jackson candidates
for the office of Register of this city. His dis
course, on the present occasion, is repressnted
as having been less exciting and inflammatory
than, were those of Ins fellow orators, as he con
fined himself to the currency question.
There were other speakers, however, who
came directly to the business of the meeting;
and, in the most exciting manner, denounced
the landlords, and the holders of flour, for tile
prices of rents and provisions. One of these o.
ralors, in the course of his address, tiller work
ing upon 1 iic passions of his audience until they
were fitted for the work of spoil and outrage, is
reported to have expressly directed the popular
vengeance against Mr. Eli Hart, who is one ol
our most extensive flour dealers, on commission.
“Fellow citizens!” he exclaimed,“Mr. Hart has
now 53,090 barrels of flour in his store: Ictus
go and offer him eight dollars a barrel, and if ho
dues not lake it”-—here some poison touched the
orator on the shoulder, and suddenly he lowered
his voice, .and finished the sentence by saying,
“we shall depart from him iri poa«e.”
The hint was sufficient: and having carrieJ
Ming in triumph to the temple of Anarchy, a
a large body of the mooting moved off in the di
rection of Mr. Hart’s store in Washington, be-
tween Dev and Conrtland streets. The store is
a very large brick building, having three wide
but stron" iron doors upon the streets. Being
apprised of the approach of the mob, the cleiks
secured the doors and windows, but not until the
middle door had been (breed, and some twenty
or thirty barrels of flour or more, rolled into.tho
street, and tiie heads staved in. At this point of
time, Mr. Hart himself arrived on the ground,
with a posse of officers from the police. 1 lie offi
cers were assailed by a portion of the mob, in
DyvStreet, tlieir slaves wrested from them, and
ed in entering the store, and fora short time in-
torrupted tbe work ofdestrnciin:
1 he mayor next arrived at tiie scene of waste
and riot, and attempted to remonstrate with the
infatuated multitude oil the folly of ih. ir conduct
—hut no purpose: their numbers were rapidly
increasing, and his honor was assailed with mis-
siics of all sorts at hand, and with such fury.that
ho was compelled to retire: Large reinforce
ments of the rioters having arrived, the officers
were driven Ironi the field, and the store carried
by assault—the first iron door torn from its
hinges, being used as a battering ram against the
otliers. The Destiuctires at once rushed in,
and the windows and doors ofilie lofts were bro-
koaopoii. And now again commenced the work
ol destruction.
Barrels of flour, by dozen's, fifties and hun
dreds., were tumbled into tiie street from the
doors, and thrown in rapid succession from the
windows, and the beads of those which did not
break in falling were instantly staved in. Inter-
mingled with the flour, were sacks of wheal by
the hundred, which were cast into the street
and tlieir contents thrown upon the pavement.—
About one thousand bushels of wheat, and four
or fiw hundred barrels of flour werc thus wan
tonly and loo isiily ns well as wicked!” destroy,
ad, I lie most active of the destructionisls were
•ore.--tiers—indeed tlie greater part of the as
semblage was of exotic origin: but there wore
probably five- hundred or a thousand others,
standing by and abetting tlieir incendiary la
bors.
AmiJst the falling and bursting of the bar
rels and .yacks ol wheat, numbers of women were
engaged, like the crones who strip the dead in
battle, idling the boxes and baskets with which
they were provided, and their aprons, with flour,
and making oft with it. One of the destructives,
a boy, named James Roach, was scon upon one
ol the upper window sills, throwing barrel after
barrel into the street, and crying out with every
throw—“here goes flour at eight dollars a bar
rel!” Early in the assault, Mr. Hart’s counting
room was entered, his books and papers seized
and scattered to the winds. And herein, probably
consists his greatest loss.
Night has now closed upon the scene; but the
work of destruction did not cease until strong
bodies of po.'ice arrived, followed, soon after
ward, by detachments of troops. The store was
then cleared, by Justice Lownds and Bloodgood,
and several of the rioters \vc r c arrested, and des
patched to Bridewell, under cl)a r " e ofBowyer,
of the police. On his way to the pi'' son » he and
his assistants were assailed, his coat li? r n from
liis back, and several of the prisoners were" res
cued. Several more, however, were afterward 18
captured and secured.
Before the c'ose of proceedings at Hart’s
store, however, the cry of “Meocli,” was raised
—whereupon a detachment of rioters crossed o
ver to (Joenties slip, for the purpose of attacking
the establishment of Mooch & (Jo. but the store
of S. II. Herrick & Co. coming first in their
way, they commenced an an attack upon that.
The windows were first smashed in with a show
er of brick bats, and the doors immediately af-
terward broken. Some twenty or thirty barrels
of flour were then rolled into the street, and the
heads of ton or a dozen knocked in.
The number of the rioters engaged in this
work, was comparatively small, and they soon
desisted from their labors—probably from an in
timation that a strung body of the police were on
tlieir way thither. Another account is, that
they were induced to desist from the work of
mischief by an assurance from the owner, that
if they would spare the flour, he would give it
to the poor to-day. Be this, however, as it may,
the officers were promptly on the spot, and by
the aid oftlio citizens who collected rapidly, the
wretched rabble was dispersed—some thirty or
forty of them having been taken and secured,
at the two poiut.-rofaction. Unfortunately how-
ever the ringleaders escaped almost if not quite
to a man.
It would probably be unjust to say, that these
riots, and the plunder of .. r. Hart, were part
and parcel of" the original design of the meeting,
or that all the signers oftlio call anticipated such
a termination of their proceedings. But there is
strong circumstantial evidence that all are not
innocent. Efforts have been making, in a por
tion of the penny press—that last and most effi
cient invention of Satan, forsmie time past, to a-
rouse the popular indignation against Messrs,
llai t and Herrick, and, as the events have prov
ed, with too much success. Another circum
stance, indicative of a preconcerted design to
plunder those ware-houses, mentioned by one of
our morning contemporaries:
“A letter was recently found in the Turk,
with an anonymous signature, and addressed to
a Mr. W. Lennox, informing him that the store
ol Hart it Co. was to bo plundered one of those
nights, by a large parly of persons, and that in
order te enable them to carry tlieir designs into
execution': two alarms of fire were to be given, one
near the Battery, and another higher up the
city; and that whilst the watchmen and police
assembled at those two points, the conspirators
were to break open the store and carry oil"as
much flour as they could. This letter was
brought to the high constable, Jacob Hays, who
showed it to Hart & Co. Besides tin's, other a-
noyraous letters of a similar import came to the
hands of the Mayor, who caused tlieir contents to
he made known to Hart & Co.”
If these things are si, the city authori ios arc
greatly to blame that efficient measures for the
preservation ol the peace of the city, were not
concerted in anticipation of the meeting. The
evening was the regular time of the meeting of
the common council. They assembled as usual;
but such was the condition of the city, that they
immediately adjourned, and the members at
once placed themselves upon the peace establish-
meet. At 8 o’clock all was quiet. We took
a stroll over llic scene of the principal riot, wa
ding, fora considerable distance, half leg deep in
flour and wheat. Several hundreds of people
were vet lingering about, but the police were
strong, and patrols of troops frequent. We saw
several women stealing away with small sacks
of flour; but the weather was too intensely cold
for people long to remain abroad—and before
nine all was deserted and still. Thus has ended
the first attempt of the sovereign wisdom of this
country to reduce tiie quantity in market.
Tiie" troops on duly were detachments from
the National Guards, unddr Col. Smith, and
from Col. Ilelns’s regiment. The night was
bright moonlight, and the glittering of the bur-
nishod armor made quite a striking .appearance
Unfortunately,the spirit of iiisuborJinalionjlo the
restraints of law, is so widely diffusing itself,
that it is accessary to keep tin’s armor in a state
ofeffjctivc preparation
New York, 15th February. The city has
become perfectly tranquil. The rioters, the mo
ment they perceive that there is a sufficient force
to check their proceedings, disappear. A large
number of persons have been arrested but arc
all of that class who were taken pilfering the
"■oods. The ringleaders gf the mob all escaped.

CENTRAL BANK.
Iti consequence of the counter state
ments between myselfand “Rhodam” in
regard to the Hargrove’s case, I was in
duced to examine the books of the Batik
for the purpose of ascertaining^ whether I
was under a mistake or not, and to satisfy
myself, if so, what had led me info the
error. The examination convinced me
that Mr. Iiaigroves had made some pay
ments, as stated by Mr. Greene,
43 to Air. Malone,) and jet, contrary to
Mr. Malone’s practice and mode of doing
business, he had, from some cause omit
ted to credit or check these payments
on the Receipt; and thus very natural
ly leaving the impression on my mind
that Hargroves had paid nothing. And
I recollect distinctly, that previous to
my goingout of office, tliis very case was
brought up before the Board bj- one of tbe
Directors, who urged the necessity 7 of co
ercing Mr. Hargroves t« a speedy settle
ment, when I was asked by Dr. Fort, how
the case stood? And iny answer to the
Hoard then was, that Mr. 11 proves 1,
never paid the Bank any r tiling on account
ol these notes. The Doctor begged that
the Board would take no action on the cas
at that time, and that he would write im
mediately to Mr. Hargroves, and have the
matter settled. But now that it is made
manifest that I was in part under a mis
take, how does it affect tiie case? My
complaint against Dr. Fort and the Cover
nor was, that they had used unparallclled
severity with me, for the purpose, as was
evident, of injuring my character, and I
cited this case of Mr. Hargroves, who is
the nephew of Dr. Fort, to show the great
indulgence allowed to his nephew and
partner in land speculation. The reader
will recollect, that these notes, amounting
to 8-5,775 75, were placed in Air. Har
grove’s hands for collection inAIay, 1S33,
he had paid the Bank on this account on
ly $2229 43, up to the latter part of Decem
ber, 1S3G, leaving himself in default up-
wards of three thousand dollars, until this
investigation wrested it from him. And,
forsooth, Air. Green makes it a matter of
boast, that Air. H. now licks but a few
hundred dollars of settling this business!
Now, I would ask in all candor, how it
L.ould affect the ease, tie matter being
refe.’red to fbr flic purposes for which I
used it; whether I had sad Air. Hargroves
had been indulged as a defaulter for two
or throU years, lor the sum of $5000 or
$3000? jf' r - Fort, regardless of the claims
of even-liana*.'*^ justice, is governed in his
official conduct, *^'7 Partiality to Air. Har-

CUT The following is the letter «/. f d»e Presi
dent to Mr. Calhoun, respecting a spceU' 1 made
by the latter in the Senate, on the Land link ,n
which the former was connected with lanU
speculators.
Washington, February 7, 1937.
Sir—In the Globe of theSth instant, 1 find
the report of a speech made by you on the 4th
upon the land bill, which contains the following
passages, viz:
“Was it not notorious that the President of
the United Slates himself had becu connected
with the purchase of the public lands? Yes,
the “experiment” (Mr. Calhoun delighted in the
word) was the cause of speculation in public
lands, and if litis bill should not be passed,
speculations could not go on, and the price of
public lands must consequently be reduced.—
He contended that every man could not but see
that it would be utter ruin to those who had bor
rowed money to speculate in lands, if the sys
tem was not to go on.” In a former part of
your speech, as reported, you say: “The specu
lation which a particular stale of tilings had
given rise to, had been produced by those in
power. They had profited by that state of
things; and should this bill be passed, it would
only consummate their wishes,” Ac. Ac. Ac.
Knowing the liabilities of reporters to err in
taking duwtf and writing out the speeches of
members ol congress; I have made inquiry in
relation to the accuracy of this report, and
have been furnished with certificates of gentle-
men \t ho heard you, nifirniing.that it issubstau
lially correct.
You cannot but be aware, sir, that the impu
tations which your language conveys arc calcu
lated, if believed, to destroy my character as a
man, and that the charge is one which, if true,
ought to produce my impeachment and punish
ment as a public officer. If I caused the re
moval ot the deposited for the base purpose of
enriching myself or my friends by any of the
results which might grow out of that measure,
there is no term of reproach which I do not de.
serve, and no punishment known to the luwa
which ought not to tie inflicted upon me. On
the contrary, if the whole imputation, both as
to motive and fact, be a fabrication and a cal-
uniny, the punishment which belongs to me, if
guilty, is too mild for him who wilfully makes it.
I am aware, sir, of the constitutional privi
lege: under which this imputation is cast forth,
and the immunity winch it secures. That pri
vilege it is in no degree my purpose to violate,
however gross and wicked may have been
the abuse of it. But I exercise only the com
mon right of every citizen, when I inform you,
that lhe imputations you have cast upon me
are false in every particular, not having for the
last ten years purchased any public land, or
had any interest in such purchase. The whole
charge, unless explained, must be considered
tiie offspring of a morbid imagination or of
sleepless malice.
1 ask you, sir, as an act due to justice, honor
and truth, to retract tliis charge oil the floor of
the Senate, in as public a manner as it has been
uttered—it being the most appropriate mode by
which you can repair the injury which might
otherwise flow from it.
But in the event that you fail to do so, I
thou demand that you place vour charge be
fore the House of Representatives, that they
may institute the necessary proceeding to as
certain the truth or falsehood of your imputa
tion, with a view to such further measures as
justice may require.
If you will neither do justice yourself, nor
place the matter in a position whore justice
tnay be done me by the representatives of the
people, I shall be compelled to resort to tbe only
remedy left me, and, before I leave the city,
give publicity to this letter, by which you will
staud stigmatized as one who, protected by his
constitutional privilege, is ready to stub the re-
putatiun of others, without the magnanimity to
do them justice, or the honor to place them iu a
situation to receive it from others.
Yours, Ac.

which the President was charged with being a

Washington, Feb. 7,1837.
Sir—In answer to your inquiry ol me wheth
er Air. Callthoun, in bis remarks on the land
bill, on Saturday last, used the words attributed
to him by me j,n the report, which appeared in
“the Globe” of vesterdav, viz: “Was it not no
torious that the President of tho United States
himself had been connected with the purchase
of public lands?” I would state that I have re
ferred to my short-hand notes and find that
such was the language he used according to
the best of mv knowledge and belief.
Yours, very respectfully,
' W. E. DRAKE.
I certify that No. 1 and No- 2 : Jtre true cop-
ies yf thp originals,
Test: A. JACKSON, Jr.
The following is Air. Calhoun’s state
ment of the remarks made by him, in re
lation to the President, and which call
ed forth his letter. “The administration
has profited by this vast patronage, and
the prejudice which it has excited againt
the bank, as the means of sustaining them
selves in power. It is unnecessary tore-
pcat the remarks in illustration of this.—
The truth of the statement is known to all
the senators who have daily witnessed the
party topics whic h have been drawn from
this fruitful source. I then remarked,
that if rumor were to he trusted, it was
not only in a political point of view thaf
those in power had profited by the vast
means putin the hands of the executive,
by the experiment; thej' had profited in a
pecuniary as well as in a political point of
view. It has been frequently stated, and
not contradicted, that many in high places,
are among the speculators in public lands;
and that even an individual connected
with the President himself, one of his ne
phews, was an extensive adventurer in
the field of speculation.”
Air. Calhoun added, in giving this ver
sion of his speech, that he meant Mr.
McLcmorc.
The Globe informs us, that Air. AIcLe-
more is not a nephew of the President;
but that his consort, now dead, was a
ncicc of Airs. Jackson: and that this gen
tleman is not himself a speculator in land;
but the agent of an Atlantic company, for
locating its patents, and performing simi
lar duties.

LATEST FROM FLORIDA.
Another Battle—Captain Mellon killed!
The steam packet Cincinnati, Captain
Curry, arrived last evening from Garey’s
FcDT- To Capt. Gale we are indebted
for llic Jacksonville Courier of Thursday
last, from yvhtch we extract tbe following
intelligence. The life of another gallant
officer has been yic-dod as a sacrifice to
retrieve the honor of iJs country’s arms,
and the Seminole still stalks over the de
solation of Florida, without the punish
ment he deserves. We cannot, behove
that the war is at an end. We fear the
that the truce with Jcsup is but the pre
lude to renewed hostilities. But—ice shall
see.
From the Jacksonville Conner, 1 Gth inst.
Black Creek, Feb. 14, 1S37.
Sir—The steamboat John Stortey. ar
rived at this place this morning, in which
Lieut. Col. Fanning and Capt. Picrev, of
the U. S. Navy, came passengers. They
report that a battle took place on the morn
ing of the Sth at Encampment Alonroc, ai
the head of Lake Monroe. This post was
attacked at 5 o’clock in the morn." 1 -! ami
a brisk firing kept up by poth parties un
til S o’clock, when the Indians retired.
Colonel Fanning was in command of
about 250 regulars, and Capt. Piercy in
command o"f 39 friendly Indians. Capt.
Alcllon, L T . S. Army, was killed. Lieut.
J. T. McLaughlin and 14 privates were
wounded. The hostiles were estimated
at 3 or 400 strong. When the Indians
retired, the friendly Indians yelled at and
taunted them all they could to renew the
attack; but not a syllable or gun was heard
from them. This account, as far as it
goes, you may depend upon. 1 had it
from Capt. Piercy. In haste, j'ours, &c.
The above intelligence is confirmed by
the arrival at this place on Tuesday night
last, of the steamer Cincinnati, Captain
Curry. The attack on Fort Alelloti, (En
campment Alonroe, at Lake Alonroe) was
made, it is supjioscd, by Philip and liis
gang. The battle was furiously contest
ed. The loss on the side of the hostiles
is not known.
The Santee was lying off on. the L->ke
not far from the Fort, in wait for the em
barkation of tbe troops to transport them
to Volusia, in obedience to an order of
Gen. Jesup. Lieut. Thomas left the post
during the engagement, and succeeded in
getting on board the Santee, played upon
the hostiles the six pounder from the boat
with great effect.
This action must have taken place be
fore the information of the truce could
have been received by those Indians who
made tbe attack. Information of it had
not been then received by Col. Fanning.
The forces at Fort Afellon returned to
Volusia on the 11th. No Indians having
been seen about the Fort from the 8th up
tothelltli.
It is the general opinion that the above
affair will not break up the truce now ex
isting, nor have anj 7 effect on the course
the Indians will pursue in relation to clos
ing the war, by yielding themselves up for
removal.

Florida.—We have been favored with llte
following extract of a letter, received by yester
day’s mail, and dated Black Cicek, Feb. 15th,
1837.
“1 have bat a few hours since had the pleasure
of conversing with Paddy Curr, the Chiefof the
friendly Creeks who assured me that nothing
could be more certain titan a speed}’ termination
of the difficulties originating out of the hostilities
ol the Seminoles, as no doubt could be entertain
ed that they are already Handsomely beaten,and
arc willing to sign a treaty which will he lasting.
4 liev had a battle,on the Silt inst. at Lake Mott-
rOS, where no doubt theic must have been a vast
number killed, as the friendly Indians under the
guide of their indctaii^blcaud hem>c CliicT dis
covered in the same the trail where they bad
drawn 72 dead from llic buttle ground, and it is
the belief of all who were in the skirmish, that
the number of wounded must be great.”
Disastrous Gale three vessels lost. The BaltDHore-
American of the Hill insrant, saja, the very mild weather
experienced here for the last ten days or a fortnight was suc
ceeded on Sunday night hya moal violent gale from the north
west, w hich continued throughout tiiat night and ye terday.
Tho river was clear of ico from its mouth up fo Hawkins
point, and- the effect of the gale was to drive the ice in the
main channel and south branch of tho river down upon the
vessels at its edge, and thus to crush and sink them. Mo less
than threo were thus overwhelmed—the brig JJizuUih of
Portland, with a cargo of mackerel; tho ]>remen biig Colo*
ms, from Turks Island, laden with salt; and the schooner
Wdlutm Tompkins, from La Guayia; with a valuable ctrgo
of indigo,coffee and hides. We are gratified to be aide to
state that although the crew s of the several vessels were in
the most iinm.ri. iit danger, arid encountered the severest ex
posure, not a single life was lost.

on his way fo Washington, with des

“It is the general belief that a final re
moval of the Indians will now he effected

hcen much harrassed by the establish

HAVE dissolved my connexion with the HERMIT-
JZ AGE FEMALE S-E.HIA AH\\aml 1 deem it due
lo i h.t public nr:-1 lha iricuds who have patronised ni«.
brit lly to stale my reason* lof having done so.
1 engaged in tliis school a little over two years ago.
’^ lieni cams to Georgia, 1 did not deem it necessary to
stall? to the community that I had a family at the North,
as } .’Uijfposed lids was a private matter, which did not con
,. e rn a?»y * Uiit person, so long as i did not palm myself up
on the cotd'D a single man. In consequence, how
ever of a report v'hich reached Mrs. Palmer (arising from
the miscarriage of letters, a Mi a paragraph seen in a news
paper) that 1 wasaV.id; inquiries were made by a member
of Congress from Maim.' oi one of the members of Georgia,
respecting hip. This 1 lea» R p ti 6y a letter from Mrs. Pal
mer. which lias been seen by Juu£« P-=1 hill and Mr. Cul
lens. Tins inquiry wa distorted into l?‘o report that i had
absconded from my wife; a charge totally untrue, as the
gentlemen just nam ni have the evider.ee to show to any
who may desire to see it; and I expect they will s ion have
more ample proof from my wife and h-T father. 1 pdt in
dignant that such a serious charge should have !i *r-n made
witiiuUt foundation,arid determined that 1 should not satis
fy my accusers, but ,V*ve them to the proof of the charge.
I procured the evident;? f rt >m ^ rs - l/»l«ner herw\f to rebut
it. I regret to say, that iny aikmco, induced by theindfgni-
tj offered lo my character, iny frienu* ,ul ° tbe public
expressions ol their opinion, that J was not araaf^ , TO,n ;
apd I am happy lo say, that ore now saibfied witu
explanation now given.
1 have disclosed to tbe gentlemen the fact that I was mar
ried, and I now learn that that disclosure has giv-u rise to
rumors which render it expedient Hint I should leave the
school. 1 do so, not because J feci 1 have been guilty of any
immorality or done wrong tu any one; but 1 may not
siand iti the way of thep-tvprriiy ofnn institution to which
l am warmly attach d. If there has !*»en any blame in
the course 1 have pursued, it is all attiibulablu to myself
alone and to no oth-ur person.
I may have erred in the course which I ought to have
pursue*!, but if I have done uo, it was entirely an error of
my judgment; and 1 fuel assured, that alt<‘rtlie whole mat
ter is properly investigated, the community will relieve me
from all criminality and censure.
I came lo Georgia with a view to improve mylpeeuniiwy
condition; and it was my intention no soon as i could see
my way clear, to bring my family to the South. Rather,
however, than to be an injury to the School, whiclyj have
labored lo build up, 1 have d/termineJ to pursue adm>runt
course. w
Tho School will be conducted by Mr. Nathan Longfel
