THE GEORGIAN.
S V VANN All:
tihihdaymorninc. oct. 15, jean.
lly ilieahip General Carrington, arrived on
Runday. we received (he Providence Journal of
(he 2d init. It oontainnmlhing new.
By (he aclir. Hope, from PoTt.m|.?rince, we
• have received the Telegraph, hf the SPtU ull-
It conlaino no intelligence.
We huva been favoured with filea of English
Papon, received by the Georgia, the contents of
•which, however,have been anticipated by the
arrival of the Comir at Charleston, in company
with which the Georgia sailed.
The Jlfoff*.-We were very innocently ltd
into a very great error on Saturday, in atatthg
that (ho back letter mails had arrived. The
error did not originate with ua—ont information
waa obtained from the Post-Office, which we
twice visited on the preceding evening, ami
where jve twice received the Information we
■retailed the neit morning. No blame Calf be
•attached to ihoposluffloe—it was a mistake
into which W tn'ghtltave fallen.
Fifteen Northern Halls are now due, and
rlntreli very little prospect, according to the
Charleston papers, of our receiving any oflhem
t: a very er1/ period. A letter from llte post
■muter at Georgetown, dated the 9th instant,
to the J’ott.Mttstcr tn Chatloaton, sl»tes,'thal
nothing had been heard of the driver who
drives from Godfrey ’« ferry, (Pee Dee) nor any
thing of 1 the northern mail. The roads and
swamp* from Lyncli’a ereek to Marion oourt
house, he says, aiealmoat impaasablc by a per-
eon on horseback. Mr. Easterling, the owner
of the line from Georgetown to Marion court.
■ house, got Ids brother-in-law, Mr. Cotton, to go
upon the main line to esamine the state or the
roads—he did nut however, proceed further
than Marion court house, having met with such
Obstructions that hi* progress further was oom
jdetely impeded—lie lias therefore returned.—
It may b'i some time before we receive a north,
cm mall by the main mail road i and more ei
pecially as no Mlroonf are made to clear out the
road from Pee Dee to Marion cnurtdioosc. J
therefore think it best that you stiUoontiuue to
(end on youv northern-mails agreeably to your<
present arrangement, (by Camden and Colum-
*bia) aa it will be impoinible at tltia time to for.
ward any on from this office. The paper mnila
out of those portmanteaus .whioh have been
forwarded on, have been retained in my office;
and the letter mails, which have been forward
ed, in all probability, have not progressed furl

Cilia,—Some excitement according to late

of old Spain and tho Creoles or natives of the

pressive acts of tho motiier country than in the
supercilious and overbearing conduct of llte na
tives of old Spain, who considered the native
inhabitant! as alavet and servants, without claim
or right, in Word or deed. This it was which
drat induced the native interest to rise against
thqlt oppressors, and to consider every Spa-
stiard as an enemy, and every American as a
friend^y The island of Cuba, the richest in the

English Opera House.—Mias Clara
Fisher finished her performances with a
benefit on Tuesday. As an extraordinf ry
example of what may be taught a child,
her acting is certainty very curious. We
look at it as we would a ties in a chariot
team, or a lent tied lobster, or the automa
ted cltoss player, wandering how the
deuce the thing could be taught ; but it
destroys all llte illusion of the drama,—
ami not only of the drama in which she
takes part, hut of the drama generally,
lor whenever ye see a clever actor after
wards, the impression is strong upon our
minds “ This is trick and not intellect,
mere traditional imitativeneas, and not
original talent.” In witnessing the Duen
na with this little Wonder’s lauao Men-
dnza, these thoughts occurred very force
lily;.and even Iter more congenial exor
lions in Little Pickle (Spoiled Child)
only confirmed their truth. Yet her per-
situation of this Character is really sur-
prising, and so admirably sustained that
it must he seen to have its playfulness and
spirit fully appreciated. We are assured
that out of the pale of Iter theatrical ex
hibitions this Clnra displays no remarks

less informed than girls of her age usually
are.
■Kokanl Tartars—The account which

them. Whoever is convicted of imposi

theft, one or both hands are lopped off,
according tu the value of the thing stolen;
immediately after the execution of the
sentence, the stumps of the arms are dip

From the Edinburgh Weekly Journal,
The •• invasion of the relta” (ns some
term it) upon the present happy occasion,
having made oo small noise among us,
we have been at some pains to analyze tho
materials nf the plaitled anil plumed ar
ray which occupy our streets and highest
places ; and we submit the following de
tailed account of the various members of
this Tartan confederacy, with confidence
“"“it is currect:
There are the Brendalbane, men, a-
fiftv, armed with swords, under thei,
Karl nf Brendalbane ; their march The'
Campbells are. coming. Their dress is
dark green ; badge, a yellow plume in
the buiiuet, aud a crest on the (ho right
srm.
8. Tho Celtic Society, under the Duke
of Argyl ; with Oenoial Graham Stirling,
Colonel David Stewart, Macelod uf Mac.
lend, Macdungal of Lorn, &c. aa Cap,
tains. A body of about eighty or 'a hun
dred Highlauders nod Amateurs, associ.
ated for encouraging and reviving the na
tional dress and customs ot the mountains,
and numbering many men of rank amlix
consequence. In general, they are fully '
and even superbly dressed and arrayed
in the belted plaid, each in his own clan
tartan, which distinction gives a rich and
half barbaric effect to their appearance.—
Their grenadiers carry partizans and tar-,
gets, ami arc headed by Captain Macken
zie, of Uttinard, whose stately, and at the
same time handsome and active fiyure, re
alizes the ideal of a complete Highland
soldier. Here and there a white knee
betrays the Southron or Lowlander—in
most the limb is as dark as that of Chlunc
dltu (Black Knee) himself.
3. St ro t h til Ian Society ; associated like
the former, for the purpose of pursuing
Highland sports and games, also as a
Benefit Socie'y. They wear various tar
tans, aa the Celtic Society, and are in ge
neral well busked and armed. Leaders
Stewart of Ardvoirlich, aud Grahame of
Airtli.
4. Clan Gregor, under their Chief, Sir
Evan Mac’Gregor, whom we rejoice to see
completely recovered «f the wounds he
had sustained in India. The tartan of
his clansmen is red, with a branch of fir
in the bonnet. They are (Gentlemen and
kernes) about thirty'in number ; and we
saw with particular interest this clan,
wlttme sufferings and proscriptions are so
well known, come forth so gallantly to at
tend the Crown of Scotlond,’’ Which still
they lovo, because their Tattlers war.”
5. Glengarry has a small, but select
following: twelve Gentlemen of his house,
amongst whom we noticed the gallant
Col. Macdonell, brother of the Chief, and
famous for his achievements at the de
fence of llougnmnnt, where, assisted on-
ly by a serjvant of the Guards, he slow or
drove back six French grenadiers, who
had forced their way into the Court yard.
Also we saw Barrisdalc, Scolhouse, Ma
jor Macdonell, and other cadets of this
ancient line. Each had a gillie in atten
dance-tall, raw boned, swirtliy fellotva
who, besides the sword and target, earri’
ed guns of pot lentinus length.- We be.*
Iieve they are chiefly the furrestere of the
Chieftain ,and, indeed, they look as if'
they had dune nothing all their lives but
lived by hunting, and slept in (he woods.
6. The Marchioness of.' Stafford has
sent up fifty men from Dunrobin. They
came to attend on !r,.r Ladyship’S' second
son, Lttni FrancU Levesnn Gower, who
carries the Sceptre, by Royal permission,
as representing Itis mother. They wear
the plaid, acarl fashion, and the trews;
which, though perhaps as ancient » garU‘
has not quite such a military effect tmtho
belted paid. The Sutherland men lave
swords, without any olhof weapon. It
has been disputed whether this great Li*
dy s following has hcc’, tliminished by thtT
a o improvements «„ | lcr n ii;h | an 0 es _
tale- llte following accurate statement
will enable the reader to judge. Upon
!.'° ,hat 5 f l men were
wanted, 200 volunteered within ait hours ;
ami, in l .ie course nf the next dxy, 1,000
came down to the Castle, all eager for the
expedition. “
7. Lady Gwydyr has produced a very
gallant band of Drummonds, about 30 we
think •, for equipments, in the hurry, could
be round for no more though many were
-assembled. They wearuword and targe,
have a holly bouigh in their cap, the anci
ent badage orthetr tyrbe ; & g re aa smart
mountaineers as the eye could wish to
look on.
The Dukes nf Athol and Gordoi(
M Lend, Lord Fife, Mrs. Farquharson;
ot tnvercauld, and other high chiefs, offer
ed, we understand, to contribute to this
martial attendance ; and it would have
been, no doubt, an easy thing to have
rendered it twenty fold more numerous.
I his was, however, declined, lor various
reasons ; and in particular, because the
two or three hundred men already assent,
blrid formed a sufficient specimen of the
readiness of Highladers, their martial ap
pearance, and their attachment to their
chiefs.
To legalize the meeting of so many of
the clans, they were all aworn in to act a>
guards to the lord high constable and
knight marshal, in discharge of their
high offices-; and nothing could be more
orderly thap the cuuduct of these milita
ry strangers.
