Another Skirmish.
By a gentlemen just arrived in town from the scene
of action, wc learn that a smart skirmish took place on
Thursday last, in the corner of Irwiu county, about
10 miles from the Lee line, between a small party o|
Indians and some thirty or forty whites. It appears
some men. who were fishing on the bank of the Flint
river on Wednesday evening, came suddenly upon the
cantp of the Indians. They gave the alarm, and in
the course of the night, a company of between 30 and
40 men, well armed and mounted, was raised. Early
in the morn ng they divided their force into two bands,
one under Spencer Riley, the other under James Gay,
and went in pursuit. They found in the Indians bad
left their encampment; they pursued on their trail,
and overtook them after going 10 or 12 miles, drawn
up in battle array, in the open pine barren. The
whites charged upon them; and when within abo
two hundred yards of their line, the Iudians fired.—
Our men, however rushed on; and before the enemy
had time to reload, they were surrounded. The Indi-
a ns fought desperately.’cluhbing their rifles, and fight-
iug man to man. None of the whites were hurt. Ri
joy had a rifle snapped at him within a yard of his
breast, by an Indian who was behind a tree —the Indian
had fired before, and in attempting to reload had drop
ped in a ball without any powder, by which accident
Riley's life was saved. The whole number of Indians
waa 23—of whom Id were killed and 5 (women) made
prisoners. Unfortunately, several females were a-
mong the killed. A dozen go d rifles, a quantity of
ammunition, some trinkets, Ac. were taken; their
halls were all covered with buckskin, ready to use.—
One of the squaws speaks English, and is well known
in the settlement. She states that there ore many
•moll parties of Creeks yet unsubdued, still stealing
through the swamps, attempting to effect their escape
to Florida; and that a uuniber have already arrived
there.
Every society, every profession has its hypocrites; and
•f they arsfewe- among other denominations than a-
mong Roman Catholics, so much the better for them.
With regard to the erusade going on at the North a-
gainst the Catholics and Nunneries of Canada, we
consider it as all of a piece with that against slavery in
the South—originating, firstly, in an inordinate desire
to meddle in other people's business; and secondly, in
tho idea of creating an excitement, for the purpose of
turning it to their own advantage. The same pens
and presses are engaged in both; and doubtless with
the same object in both cases
By the following article it would appear, that these
“Awful Disclosures” are a tissue of awful falsehoods:
From the Neto York Transcript.
Maria Monk's Awful Disclosures —Wo per
ceive by the Montreal papers, that the inspection
of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery in that city proves
that tbe Disclosures are a tissue of falsehoods, as
far as regards the localities of that religious house,
and that it is quite certaiu that this woman could
oever have been an inmate of it. It is disclosed,
moreover, that she had resided at ono time iu a
sort of Magdalen Asylum iu itloutrcal for penitent
prostitutes, and that the names of the pretended
hups introduced hy her into her woik, were ac
tually those of certaiu of the frail sisterhood who
were in tho asvlnin at the very period she inha
bited it. The “ Refutation” will appear forth
with! and when it sees the light, we will givo an
analysis of it to our readers.
Siuce writing the above, we have been favored
with an inspection of the manuscript copy of tbe
" Refutation,” and tho pieces justificary append
ed thereto iu the form of a number of affidavits,
the most important of which are those of the gen
tlemen who visited the iuterior of the Hotel Dieu
nunnery, to compare it with tbe description
giveu hy .Maria Monk. Among these, were the
Rev. Mr. Curry, corresponding secretary of the
Home Missionary Society; the Rev. G. W. Per
kins. Pastorof the American Presbyterian Church;
the Rev. lieury Esson, Pastor of the Scotch
Presbyterian Church; the Rev. Benjamin Holmes,
Esq Cashier of the Montreal Bank, and justice
of the peace; John Ostell, Esq. Architect and
Surveyor; and Johu Jones, editor of the Ami du
People newspaper. All these gentlemen declare
that there is not the slightest resemklauce between
Maria Mouk’s description, and the butldiugs and
vaults ; and that had nay alteration been made
since the publication of the book, it would have
been necessary to alter it from tho summit to the
foundation. Nothing can be more complete than
the sworn evidence of these gentlemen, who are
among the most respectable in the British pro
vinces.
There are also affidavits of Jane Ray, so fie-
quently mentioned in the “ Disclosures,” Maria
Howard. MissRccd. Jane M*Coy, who were pe-
uitent prostitutes in tho Mugdaleu Asylum at the
time Maria Monk was there ; and also of various
persons with whetti Maria Monk lived durum the
period she states that she was an inmate of tbe
mi littery.
The work will be ready in a fortnight, and will
be issued hy one of our respertahle publishers.
We therefore, consider this most impudeut
humbug as being roost satisfactorily exposed.
A little time was necessary for this conclusion,
anil that time has been so employed as to briug
conviction to tbe miuds of the most bigoted and
credulous.

Buffalo, August 4th.
Dear Sir—In the hurfy aud t-xcilenieut conse
quent upon Mr. ltaihbuu’a failure, we wrote you
a ha6ty note yesterday, informing you of that
eveut. but the most astouudiug part of the trans
action is, .'.hat immense forgeries variously estimat
ed from $300,000 to $1,500,000 have heeu deve
loped hy this explosion. This, as we had but a
moment, aud had not time to give details, was
omitted yesterday. Last evening about eleven
o’clock, Lyman Rathbuu, the brother of Benja
min, was arrested, on the charge of forgery, and
this morning about 2 o’clock, Benjamin Rathbuu
was arrested on the same charge, and both are
uoiv fully committed for trial.
A clerk who was suspected, has fled, but will be
pursued aud taken if possible. The forged paper
was (nostly held iu New York, aud by brokers in
C. McKenzie, of Anson Couuty, N. C. who
lias just returned from a trip to the South W est,
that he received such information from a Mr.
Quin. a Baptist Clergyman of Floyd County, Ga.
as satisfied biin that Knox had been murdered iu
the Cherokee territory about the dividing lino
of Cass aud Floyd comities probably by a white
tnau. The skeletou of a horse aud man were
found at that place, in a wilderness aud with tbe
skeletou, a collar buttou such as Kuox watt-
know n to wear with the letters J. H. K. the in-
itals of his name, engraved on it. The road
which he expecied to travel would have led him
by the place where the skeleton was found.

“Theaufnl Disclosures of Maria Monk," have been a
profitable speculation to the bookmakers; who are in
terested in keeping up the excitement the book hns
created. Somo of die editorial fraternity have lent
their aid m fanning the flame and making the book
sell; and the more bigoted have made it the founda
tion of a crusade against the Roman Catholic Chutcli.
Even the enlightened and tolerant editor of the Char-
le-ton Observer gives credence to this narrative, and
base* upon it severe censure against the whole sect.—
That paper gravely ipges, that “the awful disclosures
of Maria Monk have their counterparts iu other Roman
Catholic countries”—and publishes as true, every
slander it meets against that church. The N. Y. Jour
nal of Commerce, with different ends, purs ies the
same course. Many other papers follow in the Wake,
Without having read the work, or expressing an o-

“Dear Sir—I reached this delectable place a few
days siuce; and am happy to say that the use of these
invaluable waters has already produced most salutary
results, in eradicating the harrassing symptoms which
ever attend a dyspeptic. The Congress water, you
know is highly saturated with active medicinal quali
ties; yet it acts like a charm; never producing die
slightest nausea or sickness. It would be very plea
sant here, but for the vast crowd; hundreds and thou
sands are constandy coining and going, the.facilities of
travelling are so great—rail roads, canals and steam
boats running in every direction. A trip front here

disadvantages, dirough the enterprise of ber citizens
and a liberal course oi legislation, the country is en

I would to God Georgia could be aroused from her

the important public work-, and securing the services
of die best practical engineers, and a vast number of
laborers to commence the Central Rail Road this fall;
I have no feats in relation to the success of that enter
prise, and hope, erg long, we shall be able, like the
people of this State, to travel from the mountains to
the seaboard, with the facilities of rail roads and steam

II o’clock, on Friday uight, 29ih tilt, a Meteoric
mass, weighing about six pounds, descendedHear
the houso of Mrs Roswell Roatb, in that towu,
accompanied by a bright luminous train, aud pro
ducing a concussion so loud as to awakutt several
members of tho family. It is apparently a flake
from n larger body, and is contused of small
smooth stoues, similar to those fouud on the sea
shore, matted closely and firmly together in a
loose sand aud a glutinous substance, about tho
color and consistence of thick tar. Tbe side
where it is supposed to have split oil from the
larger ody looks like melted saud or stone, and
is quite solid * aud some of the smaller stones
on the outside are decolored, as though by the
heat of a blaze. There appears to have been
some attractive power by which tbe small stoues
were drawu together, as they all shape to a cer
taiu poiut. aud aro as uicely packed as the pav
ings of a street. Several smaller particles of the
same substance were found arouud the house tho
next day, aud nil are now in possession of Dr. B.
T. Roalh. We hope Professor Sillintan will ex
amine and report speedily upou this case.
Melancholy.—-Mrs. Martha (aged 25 years)
wife of Mr. Ephraim Bachelder, of Portland, was
drowned in Casco Bay. on Monday last. As we
gathered the facts from Mr. B. they were as fol
lows . “Himself and tbe deceased were in a small
sail boat, when by some arcident, the Ixtat upset.
He succeeded in grasping his wife, and in right
ing the boat several times. For two hours he
thinks, he sustained himself and wife, by the aid
qf the boat: which being full of water, was a
most precarious support. But his extraordinary
exertinus did unt avail bis ptifortuuate wife, lie
was compelled to see Iter perish, uot'vithstanding
bis extraordinary efforts. At the expiraiiou of
about two hours, from the lime the bttat upse>,
Mrs. B. died. from terror aud fatigue. But nl

With what unshaken confidence did he rely on the
all sufficient merit of his Redeemer, and with hat
calmness and serenity undergo the bitter pangs of death,
exclaiming, “ though 1 pass through die valley and die
shadow of death, yet will I fear up evil, for thou, O
Lord, art with me to comfort me through !’’
His dying testimony abundantly sadsfied his surviv

home” about which he loved m health to sing and iol ,
and to which it was the business of his life to allure bis
fellow men. He retained through all his sickness his

He had lived to reach almost three score and ten

tenderness of a daughter and son-in-law, with numer

tion, commended to the Lord, who receives the humble

Thomas Sheppard Slatter. in the 68th year of his age.
Mr S. was a native of Halifax county. North Carolina,
aud emigrated to Georgia at an early age. He was,
in many respects, a very remarkable individual. For
integrity of purpose, and firmness of resolve, and-ho
nest plain dealing, society has seldom seen his equal.
He despised flattery, abhorred deceit, and through a
long life disdained to embark in any undertaking that
did not bear the impress of honesty and virtue.—
Wrought in the finest raonld, his mind never embraced
petty notions or pursuits. Mr. S. was a patrjot, horn
in the school of the Revolution; and amid the storms
which for the last three years hav-> agitated the politi
cal atmosphere of his beloved country, he stood nrm as
the mountain rock. An ardent love of country was
the predominant trait in his character, and those who
knew him best will attest with pleasure his unrelenting
opposition to innovations of any. kind, and his deep
solicitude for the perpetuity -of our free institutions.
But lie is gone ! the friend, the patriot is no more!
Long, long, will his afflicted family and numerous
friends deplore his loss. S.

preamble to the resolutions state that the entrance of
the Monroe Rail Road into the city, would be an inju
ry to its commercial interest, and thereby cause a de
preciation of value on real estate. This belief was
founded on the supposition that the road would not be
extended beyond the town of Forsvth, and that in pro
portion to the increase of bnsiness there, would be,
as matter of course, a decrease of bnsiness here —
We are apprised of there being a great diversity of o-
pinion on this subject, and time alone can determine
which is correct.
We understand that we have been particularly sin
gled out by certain individuals os being most obnox
ious to censure; that i itr names headed the petition,
and that it was hy our influence that the meeting was
held and the resolutions passed. This is really giving
us a largercredit for influence than we ever presumed
we possessed It is true that we have endeavored to
deport ourselves in snch a manner as to conciliate the
respect of our fellow townsmen, hut it never once en
tered into our minds. that w’e had, bv this emme of
conduct .acquired such an influence as to control a ma
jority of the respectable inhabitants of Macon. Wc
have also been informed that we and some few others
are to be put down. We disregard such threats and
shall treat them with the contempt thev mprit. We
are willing that our conduct should stand the test of
public scrutiny and will submit to its decision We
expect to continue to devote the same attention to bu
siness and h -ve an abiding confidence in the stability
of the c ntinued patronage of our friends.
We ha e now done with the snhiect. with the assu
rance that we shall not trouble the public with anv fur
ther comments. HAMILTON. HAYF8 & Co.
