The Macon Band, under the direction of Capt. T.
L. Smith, left town on Tuesday on a Musical cxcur
sion up the country, with the intention of giving acoff
cert or two at Alliens duriug Commencement week,
and in the intervening villages on their way up. The
object of tiie trip is one of recreation more than profit
The Band is composed of respectable young gentle*
men of this city; and the 'profits of the excursion, if
any should remain, are to be devoted to benevolent pur.
poses. This Band accompanied the Macon Volun
teers on their fete hazardous tour in Florida; and was
with that eorpS in the hard fought battle of the Witb-
lacoochee swamp ; where, we arc told, the murderous
Seminoles found their music awfully touching !
We trust the citizens of the several villages where
the Band proposes performing, will duly appreciate
the laudable motive that carries it amongst them, and
will manifest on this occasion a not lees liberal spirit.
Stand up to your Fodder ! The Messenger goes in
for If bite Oats no longer; he says he has examine)!
some samples of black oats, and found them to contain
248 grains to the head—while the best heads of com
mon oats (meaning White,) produced but 84 grains!—
He might have added, that a great many of die White
heads, on being exmuiued closely, are filed with cheat •
“Any one (he says,) who will try die black oats, will
readily decide'ou die difference of profit between them
and the common ( White) kind.” So we said, long a-
go; White oats won’t do in Georgia—they neither suit
our climate, nor soil; end the people won’t “stand
up” to such fodder. The Messenger should have
found it out before. Give us the grain with full heads
aud sound kernel—die Van Bureu oaL forever!
DINNER TO THECRAWFORDVOLUXTEERS
, Agreeable to previous arrangements, on Saturday,
the 23d instant, a splendid dinner was given to Capt.
Carr’s company of Crawford Volunteers. The place
selected for the entertainment was the spring near die
“old camp ground.” Much credit is due to die two
Mrs. Carrs and Mrs. Bacon,and Messrs Henry Crow
ell, jr. Perry Carr and Joseph Bradford, Fsqrs. for the
handsome style in which the dinner was served up.—
The uurnber of persons present, including l>od> sexes,
was esdmated at between five and six hundred. Age,
youth, wealth, beauty and fashion were there, to do ho
nor to the gallant volunteers and iheir no less gallant
commander. As soon as the managers announced
that the table was ready, Capt. Hetiry Crowell, was u-
nanimously requested to act as President, and Ephraim
.otn • - is more. They had 1ctdy l.fOO under
nrtus who .iioall stiff m the nation; aud there
are a large number besides residing m Tttladega,
Chambers aud other upper counties who tookuo
pan in the campaign.
Last* Wedaesday- night two Indians jumped
from a window of a third story in ibis pluce, and
effected their escape- They were badly wonndeu
by tbe sentinels, as they run off. One of them
was ne.yt day arrested by a negro & brought bark,
and w as in a numerous crowd untied by the ne
gro. No sooner was ho relased. than he gashed
the uegro with a knife, though not severely, and
immediately cut his own thruatfroin ear to ear,
aud expired in a moment.
Since our lust, auothur (a third) party of Creeks
were brought to our. town op their march to the
West. They consist of about 500 men, women
and children.

FOR THE MACON GEORGIA TELEGRAPH.
Mr. Bartlett—I have been looking on, not an uncon
1 rrrut'il spectator, to some movements made by the Kd-
i Hor of tiie Federal Union and two writers, one signing
I himself “Oconee” the other “Baldwin." The first
cauiu out June 2d, and had something like this apper
taining to it, that it should be published until Dr. Fort
' slu uiii he forced to answer it. The Doctor is too well
I known ill this State, particularly to his Utiiou friends,
to make it necessary lor him to answer such a piece.—
Delias administered the affairs of tiie Bank so far as
the public are acquainted, with saU'sfaction to all
parties in the Slute. That Bauk belongs to the
State and uot to a party When any gentle
man, in propria persona, comes forward ana makes a
charge against tin: Doctor for plficial misconduct, then
will .be time enough for him to ccme out with bis
vindication. The Uuioii men, as far as I know or be
lieve, with the c\peption of a few about that focus of
envy (Milledgeville) are perfectly satisfied that this at-
tark isriot made particularly on account of Porter’s
appointment, for he is said to be a gentleman and
would have made a tir-t rate Cashier if permitted to
remain, but that that appointment is made use of to
vent spleen which had been accumulating long before.
I do not know who Oconee or Baldwin are, but I know
who Mr. Cuthbert is. I wag friendly to him, (and
still wish him well,) long before he went to Mil
ledger ille, and had some opportunity to know how and
on what terms he went to that place ; and when I first
saw the piece of 2d June, which has been in the paper
from that time for a whole month, I thought my friend
Joint A. would rnn the risk of being thought ungrate
ful; or at least that people might think he overrated his
own and his immediate associates’ strength; for they
might not be able to put Dr Fort down; for from some
editorial remarks, (which I cannot quote, as I have
mislaid the paper,) be ushers forth this piece Oconee
as if there was something dreadful behind. I thought
then Col. you were like tbe cow, who gives a good
pail of milk and then kicks it over. I thought how you
had struggled and given all the assistance in your pow
er to help your party until they have got the nscenden

conferred upon himself and company, and concluded
by offering the following sentiment:]

The plaintiffs were ovvuors of two, negro slaves,
who absconded and came to Venango county in

judicial investigation, handed over to their ovtn-
ers. On their way home through Brookvilie, Jef

A singular coulrivance for their liberation was
devised. A slmm prosecution against the mas
ters for trave[liug on Sunday was held before

seems to have been actually carried into effect,

An express came up front Fort McCreary on yes
terday morning with intelligence that a battle had been
fought on the plantation of Mr. Quurl’t. about 22
miles below this place between the whites and Indians,
the latter consisting of about 250, the tbi mr of ninety
mounted men attuched to Col. AlloriTs command ; in
the beginning of tbe engagement the whites gained an
advantage and were driving tiie foe before them ; hut
the wily savege had ndro tiy kept back a portion of
his force, by w hom he was suddenly joined r.nd flank
ing onr troops on the right and left, attached them
with such superior strength as compelled ihcm to
make good their retreat. The whites bad 5 killed—
of tho enemy it was ascertained that 7 were killed,
certain, and probably a much greateg number- The
express says: 4>‘
“ The battle was hot on both sides, for near an hour
wli eoArvercoine by a superior force, we-were compel
led to retreat.”
Mr. Colly, the overseer ef Mr. E. Ilillhousc, was
shot through the head and killed on the spot, to the
early part of the engagement.”
