MACON GEORGIA TELEGRAPH "«53<s>5MHb& &&2&3S4k&a&&2* 5I.4COX: Thursday, February .J, 1836. Cotton .Unrket. .Vo alteration in prices since otir last. Owing to the severe weather transactions have bceu jVj,itoil. this tuoruiug cotton was going at 12 a j U from wagons. and rulers, lawyers and editors, havo vied with each other in ridiculing and thwarting the oper ations of the system, until it is completely emas culated— end totally unfit for any useful pin pose.

Let all vacancies in the lino he filled ; aud if possible, let the militia system he resuscitated. 1*. S. Since the foregoing was written, we have seen a letter from Columbus which states that tho apprehensions of the citizeus on account of the Creeks had measurably subsided ; the Chiefs of the party and Gen McDougald had en tered into an arraugoinour by .which all hostilities on both sides should be suspended. Volunteers were fiockiug into Columbus from Harris, Tal bot See. ant The weather fur the last 8 or id days has been uncommonly sevoro for the climate.

We understand he has made a requisition upon the Governor for two Rrgiinciits of mounted Riflemen, to aid in sub duing the Semiuoles. JJBL1! 1/ THE 1M)1 *NS. The aspect of our Indian difficult^ cs becomes daily more aud more alarming. Tho Semiuoles niuiut iiu their ground, and keep lip a murderous warfare upon the defenceless inhabitants of Flor ida. All accounts agree that they act with the most determined resolution, and evince a dispo sition to light until they are killed. The object of tliis war is not kuowu—they had made a trea ty with the United States; bceu liberally paid for their lands aud improvements ; received the mo ney and appeared satisfied with their bargain— r.hen all of a sudden, without any known cause or provocation, when the whole country is lulled into a false security and entirely unprepared for the event, the tomahawk is raised, and the work ef uiurdrr and rapine commenced. W hen or where it will stop, is known only to Heaven.— Kiitrcuclicd ns the savages are, iu the swamps nml wildernesses and morasses of that territory, every wav favorable to their mode of living and fighting, for aught we can see. they may hold their position for months or years, in spito of all the force .bat may he seut against them. From their retreat nothing can prevent their sallying out as < fan as they choose, at one point or another, aud laying desolate the enuntiy, And we'enn sec no j way of subduing them before the heat of auoth- or summer shall have dried up their swamps. ! Added to the Seminole difficulties, thedi-posi FRANCE. The Special Message, (published iu our last,) settles the question with respect to the intentions ol Fraocc. It has dismissed tbo idea so foinllv cherished by many, that she would bo satisfied with the candid explanations of the President iu his annual message. For cjur part, we have ue- ver entortained un idea of that sort; wo have believed she w ould he satisfied w ith nothing that she knew our gnveoumeut would give. Fntuce demands an apology ! a servile, humiliating a- pology, the terms dictated by herself! Even then we doubt whether sho would comply with her engagement. After plundering our property and converting it to her own use till the interest of the sum plundered amour.!* to three times lh'- •inouut of the principal, before she will aeknowl* edge the debt.—and then delays the payment' till the interest again equals the capita!—and en joying, besides, the benefits ef the treaty, till she has made as much more out of us—a nation that will do this is rot too good to do suy thing. And the sooner w e suspend all intercourse w ith such a people, the heller. \\ c can find a market else where for our cotton—or we can manufacture t l | ouiselvcs. Iler w ine and silks we can do with* out. Five years of non intercourse icilh France, icould make the Southern States the greatest silk and uir.e country in the world—and would inflict amoro lusting injury upou France than the pay ment of a hundred such indemnities as she owes to our citizens. To see the first, (the production of domestic tilks and w ine,) we should he willing to seo our govemmaut assume the pay incut of the twenty-five million: The course recommended by the President is the mildest that could be offered, aad vve have no doubt it will meet the approbation of ihc w hole country, (Mr. Calhoun aud his co workers always excepted.) Tho visas of the Southern Patriot ou this sub ject meet our approbation: “The intelligence received yesterdayfrom Wa shington (ms excited very general astuuislimeut in the miuds of our citizens. Tlio language not merely of explanation, but ol apology, dictated to our government by that of France, is such as must be deemed by all parties iurumpaiible not ouiy with National honor, but with that sentim ent of National pride w hich is its best guarantee.
