FURTHER PARTICULARS OF THE
BATTLE AT LAKE MONROE.
\V c have been favored with tiie perusal
of a letter from an ollicer in command of
tiie Creeks, from which we collect the fol
lowing particulars;
Lieut. Col. Farming, pursuant to the
order of den. Jesup, started for the head
of Lake Monroe, w ith two companies of
Artillery, four companies of Dragoons,
and a small detachment of friendly Creeks,
who had been stationed at Volusia. The
understanding was, that C>en. Jesup was
to meet Col. Fanning on the 2!)lh u!t. at
Luke Monroe. After remaining there lor
three or four days, during which scouts
were sent in every direction, a breastwork
and {ticketing were erected. On the 3d
inst. Lieut. Thomas and Passed Midship
man McLaughlin, took a rideout of camp
and lost themselves, and after wandering
about some time in the dark, they left
their horses in a Palmetto Swamp, and
took shelter in a thick scrub about 200 or
300 yards distant. While there, a parly
of G or 7 hostiles encamped within lifted)
yards of them for the night.
fit this perilous situation they remained
until the Indians went oft’ in the morning,
when they returned to camp. These were,
naturally concluded to he spies, ami we
anticipated an attack, which was in a few
days realized. On the morning of the
Sth, and about three quarters of an hour
before day, the breastwork was attacked
by a body of Seminolcs, supposed to be
between 2 and 300 in number. The
firing, which was extremely sharp and
quick, was kept up three hours on our
side. The Indians then went off, carry
ing away their killed and wounded, which

their loss is judged to be considerable.
Our loss was Captain Charles Mellon, kil
led; Passed Midshipman McLaughlin, act

breast; and thirteen men, none dangerous

day an express arrived from Gen. Jesup,

The Ohl Snag.—A couple of blades once met
a Vermonter at a tavern. They had heard much
of Yankee ingenuity and cugning, and they soon
determined to see if they could nof “come round”
this son of the Green Mountain. Thu Jong that
lie would be careful of his coppers, they propos
ed to him, in the course of the evening’s chat,
that each of them should propose and do some
thing which tho other two shouid imitate; or on
refusal of cither so to do, lie should pay all ihe
damage the others might sustain, and the scot at
the bar. The Vermonter was a little wary at
first—but at length consented. One of the York
ers commenced the game. He pulled off" his
coat, walked up to tho fire and threw icon. His
companion did tho same. The Vermonter, as
they had agreed, must do so too witli his coal, or
pay for the other two coats, and the scot. With
out hesitating, off - went the garment to the fire.

THE INAl (If It A L.—This beautiful
address is calculated to cheer and ani
mate the heart ol tiie patriot. It breathe
an ardent attachment to our institutions,
and evinces an exalted happiness in the
extraordinary prosperity of our country.
It reminds us of the palmy days of Wash
ington, and Jefferson, and Madison, before
the l*ve of any portion of the American
people for tlie Federal Union had been
turned into distrust, and jealousy, and ha
tred. How different is the language of
the President from the raven notes of John
C. Calhoun! This man constantly labors
to destroy the affection of the people for
the Federal System, by representing the
government as the scat of corruption, as a
sink of iniquity, incessantly pouring its
poison over the land, marringour interests,
abridging our liberties, arid threatening to
ingulph us in hopeless servitude, infamy,
and ruin. One who believes Mr. Calhoun
and the multitude of politicians who re
flect liis feelings, and echo his sentiments,
must lose his attachment to the Federal
Government, and must anxiously desire
to dissolve a union which to him seems to
bring only oppression, shame, and sla
very. But Mr. Van Duren tells us, that
this very government has exalted us to a
pitch of liberty, prosperity, happiness and
glory, never before experienced by any
people. \Y ho is to be believed? Let our
commerce, gaily expanding over every
sea, and exploring every ocean, attest?
Let our fields, laden with rich harvests;
let our forests, yielding in vast columns to
tin? axe of the settler, and exchanging the
dreary Solitudes of the wilderness for the
cheering and comfortable scenes of the
Ihrm-yard, attest; let our villages and ci
ties, springing up, growing, expanding,
luxuriating in all tire inventions of art,
and all tiie productions of nature, attest.
A people soiree, so happy, so prosperous,
must he well-governed. The conclusion
is irresis able. They have a good gov#
d'?intent; and it is well administered. vVo

gorate out love for our country; and ani

that he will veto any bill which may be
passed by Cong ess, for abolishing do
mestic slavery cither lit the District of Co
lumbia, or in th* Flutes. What more
can the most scrnoulous Southern man
require from him?" Wc are sure that this
declaration will be used by the abolition-
ills to excite hostility against Mr. Van Bo

and we believe that it will satisfy all
Southern men, who a re not making a fac

of this abolitior.-petilion filled the heart of
Wise with tumultuous joy too strong tor
concealment; and lie instantly gave utter
ance to his emotions, bv shouting, “Glo
ry! Glory'." What Union man thus ex-
» ulted in the detestable movements of the
j fanatics? What Union man gave them
] such encouragement to persevere in the
• diabolical strife? Rut-die Journal pre
tends, that a part of the Union representa
tives pursued the same course with the
nullifiers, on the abolition-petitions. We
tear that this press is beyond the hope of
reclamation.
The Journal, on die 21st ultimo, charg
ed several of the Union representatives
with maintaining, that Congress has a
right to legislate on the subject of slavery
in the Distiict of Columbia. In the Fede
ral Union of the 2St!i ultimo, we exposed
this statement, and exhibited the declara
tions of two of those representatives,
Messrs. Crantland and Haynes, made and
published but a few months ago, affirm
ing, in unqualified terms, their belief that
Congress has not this right. The evi
dence of the injustice of the statement of
the Journal was direct, decisive, and con
clusive; it lias not been even questioned ‘
by that press. And yet the Journal has
not retracted die charge. It has made no
atonement for its injustice. It has made
no’apolqgy for its error. Error! Perhaps
we do wrong in designating the offence
by so mild a name. Tho charge made
by the Journal is proved to he contrary to
the fact; hut those ignorant men who arc
so benighted as to look to the Journal for
information, are left to believe, that it is
founded in truth.
We do not mean to insinuate, that the
neighboring press has made a statement
which it knew, or which it believed to be
untrue. The Journal has not suuk so
low in our estimation. But that paper
would be entitled to some credit, were it
a little scrupulous in its statements, and
willing to correct its mistakes. We fear
that it is incorrigible; and that our labor
for its reformation is lost.
TIIE NEW ADMINISTRATION.—
It is understood that there will be no
change in die cabinet, except that Mr.
POINSETT, of South Carolina, will be
appointed Secretary of War, filling tbe
vacancy occasioned by dto appointment of
Mr. CASS to a foreign embassy. This
place has been temporarily filled during
the last few months, by Mr. BUTLER,
the Attorney General.
CREEK INDIANS.—The portion of
this tribe remaining in Alabama has been
collected, for immediate removal to dieir
lands in dm Fur West. ' By the lost ad

about two utiles from Montgomery. Tiie

ers anti their party. For the
slave-holding states, Mr. Van Duren is the
safest President who ct-uld have been
selected; because Ins influence against Lite
abolitionists, and liis rho-power, (should
he have occasion to exercise it,) will be
sustained by a great party at ihe North, in
conjunction with die South. The most
timid may lay aside liis fears for at least
four years. We believe that before the
expiration of that term, the abolition ex
citement will have died away, like a ta
per burnt, out. •
AN INC( >1 MUG IDLE OFFENDER.
—We fear that we shall have to give our
neighbor, the Georgia Journal, up to its
evil courses. Our treatment has produced
no symptoms of reformation. It ventures
to charge a part of the Union Representa
tives with having pursued, on the aboli
tion question, the same course with the
nullifiers—because the}- maintained, with
the nullifiers, that aholition-pelititions
ought not to he received. This charge,
like many of the assertions of die Journal,
is destitute of foundation. In the Senate,
the conduct of Col. Alfred Cuthbert stood
in strong contrast to that of the arch-nuj-
lificr, John C. Calhoun. The latter re
ceived frequent communications from
abolitionists out of Congress, whom he
gratified and 'aided so far as to give
publicity, in liis place in the Senate, to
their vile effusions. He made use of the
whole topic to kindle relentless hatred be
tween die North and the South. The op
position of the Senator from Georgia was
not thus equivocal. He utterly discoun
tenanced every movement of the nullifi-
ers; and lie studiously, earnestly, zesilous-
ly labored to avert .all the calamities
springing from a question which was fruit
ful only in evil. lie did not, like the nul-
Ju^cr, flatter and aid the abolitionists by
an exaggerated statement of their num-
hjttf, a.yl strength, and influence; nor
wWind die iv^rtlicr’i friends of Southern
rights, by unjust SU?JJtu7°n; and indiscrim
inate censure.
In the House of Represonmlivcsf, ^ i°e
was so thoroughly identified with i!:c ti’d -
lifiers, in liis temper and his policy, in tK5
speeches and bis votes, that he was ge
nerally believed to belong to the Calhoun
school. He was in that assembly, the
leader of the nullifiers. During the ses
sion before the last, it happened that for
some considerable time no abolition-peti
tion was presented. At length, Slade, an
abolitionist, whose re-election to Con
gress afforded matter for high exultation
to the nullifiers during tiie last summer,
presented one of those insulting memo
rials, to interrupt the business, and to dis
turb die harmony of Congress. It would
have firilen harmless on the desk, disap
pointed in its aim, but for tiro niilhGers
and their leader. After the strife had ap

Th; Rochest er Democrat, a violent pa

Preston, and While should have refused
to vote lor Francis granger. Their with
drawal from tbe Senate Ghamber at the
moment of die decision of die qff°3tico of
the Vice-Presidency we conceive to be f
most unwarrantable and unjust. They
were bound by all the tits of political honesty
to record their vote against Richard M. John
son, and in favor of the Whig candidate.
Their refusal to do so, is an insult to Mr.
Granger himself, aiul to the parly who con
fided. in their political integrity.
“Did their Southern prejudices induce
their withdrawal? If so, they may ‘bid
farewell to all their greatness.’ If daw
have resolved upon erecting ‘geographical
divisions,' and making them the testofeha-
racter, distraction to the country, and ruin
to themselves will be the issue. The man
who dare raise his finger against the U-
xtox, deserves the curse of Heaven, and
will call down upon himself the consecrated
frown of die whole nation. Fanatics may
bluster about, and threaten, the dissolution
of the Union, without greatly exciting the
public; but let there be one step toward
action, and a whirlwind of popular indig
nation will be created which would soon
sweep the craven spirits from the soil they
pollute. If Messrs. Calhoun, Preston and
White, wish to play such a game, die
sooner it is known the better.”
Here is an out-burst of patriotism, that
will he duly appreciated, we do not doubt.
Wu certainly agree with the Rochester
federal organ, that tests of character based
upon “geoghaphical divisions” ought to
lie deprecated, as fatal to their authors
and hostile to the best interests of the
country, and that “the man who dares
raise his finger against the Union, deserves
the curse oi Heaven.” We only marvel
and regret, that the thought comes at so
late a day to the mind of this “whig”
journalist, and to his associate in this city.
“Geographical divisions” were all ex
ceedingly proper, and no doubt very ex
pedient, when the fragments of factions,
by a tacit understanding, agreed upon and
supported their geographical candidates
fertile presidency—Webster for the East,
Harrison for the West, and White for the
South. It was perfectly well known, that
neither of these candidates conld com
mand a majority of the electoral votes—
it was not imagine,] that cither of them
yould secure au election by the people—
the o:.']v hope was, L.j /J t c aid of geograph
ical an.] sectional dindions, to draw away
votes from u’C ofmoemtic candidate, suf
ficient in number to parent a choice by the
people. This game Fas openly played,
not with hesitation and Joubt by those
who now profess to entertain a bori'Or of
“geographical divisions,” out with uteir
distinct co-operation and approval; nay,
under a mutual and well-understood com
bination on their part with those whose
acts and efforts, according to -fie present
opinions of the “whig” presses, “deserve
the curse of Heaven!”
It is perfectly true, that from such “tests
of character, distraction to the country,
and ruin to those who urge theta,” have
ensued, or will ensue: Dot this self-styled
“Democrat” is slow to make the discov
ery, and seerns to realize the fact, after
affording them co-operation and encour

all right and admissible when directed

—when they were resorted to deliberately
as the means to prevent a choice by the

a body with whom it was supposed the
politicians of the sectional and geographi
cal school might he better able to carry
out their designs—they were only wrong
when they prevented the representatives
ofNullification from voting for a northern,
and if we may judge from Mr. G’s votes,
the abolition, candidate. Certainly Messrs.
Calhoun, Preston and V* bite have done,
and may do, far worse tilings than cast a

DISTINCTION.
The opposition are rendering themselves
perfectly ridiculous, on the subject of the
EXPUNGING RESOLUTION. As Mr.
Clay, who was the author of the resolu
tion which has been expunged from the
Journal of the Senate, in the course of his
speech in opposition to the expunging pro
cess, applied to those who supported it,
the expression of Knights of the. Dlack
Linos, the editor of tiie United States’
Telegraph has also applied it to them,
and has published the names of the sena
tors who voted for it, and surrounded them
with a black border; and the opposition
papers generally arc following bis exam
ple. It is certainly calculated to attract
attention to dieir names; but as tbe mea
sure is one wliicb lias been demanded by
a large majority of the American people,
instead of producing the effect intended
by those who have adopted the black lx>r-
der which surrounds their names, of de
grading them in die estimation of the
people, it will elevate them die more high
ly, and enable the pcoplo to see to whom
they arc indebted for the performance of
the act of duty and justice of removing
the unjust and unconstitutional denuncia
tion against our venerable and excellent
chief magistrate, from the journal of the
senate, in accordance with the popular
will.
As our opponents have taken so much
trouble to distinguish the twenty-four sen
ators who, in accordance with the will of
dw PEOPLE, have expunged the stain
wliich wa3 attempted to be placed upon
tbe character of tho President, for having
faithfully performed his duty to the pub
lic, and relieved die country from tho
gvd* resulting from one of die most dan
gerous institutions which ever existed, wc
will endeavor to return tho compliment,
by distinguishing the nineteen senators who
opposed the popular will, by resisting the
passage of the Expunging Resolution.—
They, too, as we have beiorc remarked,
deserved a title; and as wo know of none
that would be more appropriate, we will
adopt that which was applied by Mr/Ran
dolph, who has recently become a pecu
liar favorite of theirs, to the leader of
their band, and call them Knights of the
(hder of Blacklegs!!! They are
SYNOPSIS.
SEMINOLES.—On tho night of the 1 st
inst. a party of Fcminoles, supposed to l>e
alxiut 50 or GO in number, attacked the
bouse ofMr. Wallace,at the ferry over the
Auciila, in Florida. He escaped by swim
ming die river; hut his wife and tw*
daughters were killed by the savages.
Dy an amendment incorporated in the
General Appropriation Dill, (which has
doubtless become a law,) thirty thousand
dollars arc appropriated to purchase, for
the use of the United States, the writings
ami records of Mr. Madison.
Disgraceful.—On Thursday night last some
ruffians entered the new Catholic Church, now
being built in this city, and broke up all the
wood work moulded and prepared for forming
Ihe window sashes to the edifice; tho work had
not yet been put together bv the mechanic, and
it is supposed, from appearances, that the |it;rpc-
trator of this mean and malicious act took the
pieces and broke them, one by one, across his
knee. We a Iso learn, that a few nights since a
considerable number of the window lights of the
Presbyterian Church were wantonly broken by
some lawless midnight marauders.—Columbus

Distressing acciden’.—“In the midst of life
we are in death.” Mr. A. Hardis of Beech
Island, was returning home from u visit to his
sister, on Tuesday evening last, when his horse
took fright—became unmanageable, and dashed
him against a tree with a momentum which im
mediately terminated liis existence. Mr. Har-
dis was 35 years old, nnd 1ms left a wife and one
child, together with a numerous circle of friends
to lament his untimely end.—Augusta Courier,
1th instant.
The Baton Rouge Louisiana Gazette snvs
that M. Antoine Bonaparte, who (spaced from
Rome last year, is now at the plantation of his

Sale of Lots.—The Augusta Constitutional
of the 6th inst. says, “Sixteen of the lots lying
on each side of the Georgia Rail Road, between
Jackson and Campbell streets, on the commons,
were sold at auction on Saturday Inst, by the
Messrs. Jackson’s, for $18,7G5, which shows
on excess of about §>300 per lot, over the high
est prices paid for city lots in the same vicinity,
sold by tho city council last year.
A Patriotic Experiment.—M’h^n Mr. Audit*,
bon, the distinguished American ornithologist,
left England for Ncw-York, about four months,
ago. lie look with him a great number of sky
larks, i bins, nnd - other English birds unknown
in this country for the purpose of liberating .them,
in the expectation that they might become liber
alized, and render the woods and plains of Amer
ica vocal with their delightful notes. Letters, re-
centlv published from Mr. Audubon since his-ar-
rivr.l in N.. Y. mention that the feathered, pas
sengers suffered severely on the. voyage, and'
many of them,died; but a sufficient number re
mained to leave a hope that these emigrants may
be effectually “iocatecP’ in, tho woods, and with,
their progeny become denizens, of the United;
Slates.—Charleston Observer.

Wc learn, says the Augusta Constitu

office of the Savannah Republican, dated
the Sth inst. received last evening, con
taining extracts from the Jacksonville Cou
rier of the 2d insi. from which it appears
that information had reached Black Creek
by express, stating that ninety-three In
dians had come in and surrendered to
Gen. Jesup. Among them were Jumper,
Alligator, Abraham, and Little Cloud.
Micanopy, the Great Pond Governor had
not come in, but bad sent bis “talk” to
the General. The express also brought
the information thatOseola had been tried
by an Indian Court Martial, for coward
ice at the Wtilioo Swamp, had been found
guilty and degraded—and had retired
from the main body of the Indians, no
body knew where. It was the general
opinion that the war was drawing to a
close.
Late and highly Imjtortant from Carthagena.
—The contest commenced.—The Granadian
brig Marcclino, with a valuable cargo, from
hence for Carthagena, was captured off the port
of Carthagena, by the British squadron. This
newsrf'eaches us through a different source than
that of Jamaica, and our correspondent assures
us that he is not mis-inibrmed.
Carthagena.—The Grenadian brig Marceili-
no, Eiskidson, which sailed from this port in
December last, for Carthagena via St. Croix, ar
rived off the port of Carthagena on the 22d Jan.

on, aiding and abetting the Indians to rob the mail
nod murder stagecoach passengers in the Creek
Nation last summer, nnd who was sentenced to
be hung ou F riday next,a reprieve of sixty days.
Broad is now in jail in tins city.”
We understand, that Gen. Macomb, tbe Pre
sident of the Court of Enquiry, has arrived at
Washington, with its sentence, shaped according
to tiro President’s suggestions. It was probably
delivered to Mr. Butler on Monday las:—and is
immediately to be turned over to the President’s
own hands.—It is not yet known, whether the
President will find time, amid the multiplicity of
his engagements during the week, to pass upon
tho opinions of tho Court in the cases of Gone-
rals Scott and Gaines—Richmond Enquher,
'2d instant.
Pirates in St. Domingo.—A letter from Port
an Prince, dated Jan. 21, states that there were
in prison at that place, eight or ten fellows, for
robbing nod murdering the crew and a pnssen-^
ger of an English brig (as she is supposed to have
boon.) The only witness the government hare,
is a boy, who says ho was steward on board the
‘Black Sloop’ at tho time.
Snow Storm in Savannah. About four o’-
lock this morning it commenced snowing and
cominuod without intermission, up to this hour,
(12 o’clock) when we penned tin’s article.—
Such a fall of Snow, we understand from an old
inhabitant, has not boon witnessed in this citv
since the year 1803, when tiie snow was from
one to two loetdeep—it is now about 12 inches.
Fine sport is going on in the way of throwing

A new abolition Scene—in the State of Ohio!
Tiie Cincinati Republican of the 21st Febru
ary gives us the following Sketch;
“ABOLITION IN DAYTON.
“Siltin' c-r. (t r a H!!! ”
“The following account of an abolitian riot at
Dayton has been in our possession some days.
Wc arc iissufcd that it is correct in every par-
ticular:
“On Monday afternoon, a Presbyterian Cler
gyman attempted to address tlie citizens of Day-
ton in favor of abolitionism, A largo number
of people assembled. Tho church was crowded,
xud a considerable number outside. The doors
were closed, barred and guarded, but were soon
forced open—the preacher taken out, taken to
the river, and placed on a rail. Further vio.
lonce was.prevented, by the interference of some
of the more prudent portion of those present. It
is said the preacher was armed, and drew a wea
pon—and that the church doors and all the win
dow glass wore broken to pieces.
“The preacher’s name is RANKIN. lie at
tempted to deliver an address on the same sub-
joct a few evenings before, but was prevented.
He then declared lie would take the day time for
it; but it seems that abolition finds no mere favor
in the day time than at night.”
Washington City, Feb. 2T.
On Saturday night last, a melancholy
affair occurred in our neighboring citv,
Alexandria, between two young men, the
one not 20 and the oilier only 17 yCars of
age. George Webster, the eldest, was
killed by a stab with a knife, by his an
tagonist Lorenzo Pelton,—the wound was
inflicted under the left shoulder, penetrat
ing through the lungs to the heart, and oc
casioning instant death.

The Jackson Cheese.—Tho groat chccsc
which was made an offering to Mr. Jefferson, as
the most appropriate present which the fanning
class could tender to the President—the first who
brought their influence to bear with its full and
projier weight in the public administration—is
outdone by the mammoth cheese whicha patriotic
citizen of New York (Col. Meecham) sent more
than a year ago to President Jackson. The
Jefferson cheese, presented by the citizens of
Cheshire, Massachusetts, weighed seven hundred
and fifty pounds. The New York present is
nearly four feet in diameter, two feet thick, and
weighs fourteen hundred |iounds. It was Cans,
ported through the State of New York with
great parade, to the place where it was ship,
ped. It reached Washington accompanied with
a splendidly painted emblematic envelope. Wc
understand the President designs to offer- this
great cheese, which is finely flavored and in fine
preservation, to his follow-citizen* who visit him
on Wednesday next. Mr. Jefferson’s cheese
was the banquet of the East room in its unfinish
ed stale. Tiie New York present wjjll be serv.
ed up in the hall <0 the Pres-dent’s mansion.—
