In 1738 a further improvement was made by

number of smaller wagous, each capable of con

together with chains. By thus diffusing the

The last Messenger broaches a novel idea. It says:
“Let it be borne in mind that the next Legislature
may control the Electoral vote of Georgia. Ourop-
ponents recognise the right ofiuetructioa aud no doubt
will put it iu practice.” To the latter clause of the
quotation we fully concur; the right of instruction is
ono of the fundamental principles of^the Union parr
ty; and a refusal to obey instructions, when property
expressed, would totally and forever prostrate any
representative of die Uuion party. But in conceding
•hi* much, we do uot perceive how the next Legisla
ture m&y comrol the Llectoral vote of the state; inas
much a* the Electors are chosen directly by die peo
ple, and a month after the members of the Legislature
are chosen. Hence the votes received by the respec
tive Electoral Tickxu will be the latest expression of
the people; and die «uly expression by which our re
presentatives in Congre.,, provided the Election of
President devolves upon them, can be governed. A
uy instruction therefore, vo^d by the Legislature
would be^ntirely supererogatory, and in no manuer
binding upon our Representatives in Congress. This
tbe Messenger must have known; aud \v« can only
look iiponbisstateuiem us another attempt to confound
the Presidential uucstion with the gluto Eleclioos—a

Dear Sir—My absence from t olr mbiis has preven
ted me from returning an earlier answer to yours of
the 6th of Angus; iii relation io the conduct of capt
Carr of your county, as an officer while in the service
of ids country ot. the eastern bank of the Chattahoo
chee, It affords me'pleasure tnspPak of capt < arr not
only as a prompt and energetic officer, but as a high
minded gentleman. I well recollect that there were
some objections urged by some of his company tobe -
mustered into the service of die United States, and that
he urged and persuaded his men not to flinch. He
called upon me often for
stating their objections, and
my advice. I shewed him Jin? law of Georgia, and dis
tinctly shewed him and them their true situation. He
took the pains to curry through bis camp the digest of
uir laws, and enforced with proper remarks, upon his

One Ticket is pledged to support the Union
of the States ; and tlie principles of Jefferson,
of Madison and of Jackson—principles that
have preserved the integrity of the Union;
aud made our government and country the ad
miration and blessing of the world.
The other Ticket is nominated by the Nul-
lifiers—and j/adverse to the present Adminis
tration ; and the great principles of the Re
publican party. The doctrine of Nullification
has been justly condemned by the people in
this State; and the party that supports and a-
vows it, has been righteously deprived of pow-
r and placed in the minority.
Between tliese two tickets you have to
choose. Let nothing divert your minds front
the true issue. Union, or Nullification, is the
only question. The Presidential question lias
nothing to do with it——White, nor Harrison, nor
Van Buren has nothing to do with the present

vantages you then gained.
You who love tlie Union, and .believe .that
its preservation depends upon the perpetuity of
Anti-Nullification principles, let not love for
White or Harrison—or hatred for Van Buren,
induce you to go against the party with which
you have long acted, in weal and in wo. Be

If Gabriel Capers expects to divert attention from
the odium of his being a subscriber to an incendiary
newspaper, and from the offence of openly exhibiting
such newspaper at a public gathering in this county,
by an unwarrantable attack upon the editor of this pa
per, he will fail in his expectation. The facts of which
he stands accused hy Q,. in tlie Telegraph of the 15th
he does not deny, and cannot palliate. IIow does the
Reverend gentlemen endeavor to get out of the dilem
ma? By making a solemn preamble about the moral
right of bolding slaves, i&c (which uobndy iu this
community controverts,) and by giving a lecture on
decency and moral rectitude! (God save tho mark!)—
Unless the gentleman becomes less economical of
Truth, we opine his lat ors as a missionary in the cause
of Nullification will be as unprofitable as they were iu
the cause of Religion.
His ideas of decency may be imagined from his lan
guage. -I have appealed, (says he) to their moral
sensibility, and asked whether they would vote for a
constable, who would trample upou the laws of decen
cy and wedlock, aud rear a family of mongrel bastards
in their country, and I have asked them by what prin
ciple of decency, morality or patriotism, they could be
justified for placing such a grovelling wretch in the
Vice President's Cbaii.” Aud again: “I have told
them that Martin Van Buren was au Abolitionist.”—
It has been repeatedly denied that Martin Van Buren
is, or ever was an Abolitionist—still this dec tit and
moral evangelist reiterates the charge, without adduc
ing a particle of evideuce in support of it “I have uf-
tiruled, (ne continues) that in eradiug au answer to

came general at the Indians on the other hand ; the
battle raged for more than an hour; l saw capt Carr
frequently during the-fight, he -was ever at his station
or along the line giving ordeWlolfN'nieii with as much
coolness as it was possible for anyam*i to evince. I
heard no orders from any officer but «\ap*tin Carr—I
knew no commander but him. nor should I r»ve obey

Brown frequently during the fight, and alsocapt 14 C .

The most of the time that I saw Mcf > ary he wasem

now! G. Capers hiiyself was editor of a paper iu
Macon at tlie time he allqdes—why did he not then uo-
tice it 1 As for the Libeftitor, wo have scarcely ever
seen a number of it; and kildw nothing about it, or a-
bopt Garrison and Knapp, bilt what we have learnt
from their opponents.
One word as to the challei
erend political polemic: he in
certain time and place, aud
choosing! This method of
novel as it is unreasonablc It has been usifal hereto
fore, for the challenged party to have tlie privilege of
choosiug the time and place, as well as the weapons
And had the challenger been serious in desiring a mee
ting, be would not have imposed such unreasonable de
mands.
YVe understand the gentleman has made heavy-
threats against the Editor and others Of the Union par-1
ty; declaring tliat he will, like the renowned Bobadil
or some gtbordicro, cut up and annihilate the wholi
party in detail, beginning with tlie editor of this pi
per. All we have to do is, to fortify ourselves for tis
event; and to caution the jury to whom he appeals to

The war in Florida is assuming a still more horrid

awful aceoulfisof the during temerity of tbe Indians
and the savage.butchery of the inhabitants. The \ o-

their force is not sufficient to defend the settlements,
much less to chastise the foe. They have also the un-

collect at that time Brown was just below undera large
oak. end said we had better look out, for there bad
been at least 60 ball* shot through the boughs of the
gum that we were Under. About this time Brown and
myself walked towards the n- er, when orders-came to
cease firing and go to the house; I asked the cause,
when tbe man who brought the order said it was be
cause ammunition was getting very scarce. Browu ;
and myself then turned and Walked towards the house
and had some conversation about a picket guard being
left there. Brown said he was willing to-stay, asked
me if I was not willing to stay too; I said I \yaswill
ing, bnt thought we had best go first to the house and
s»e what arrrangemenls Would be made. VVe tlien went
on to the house; I went into tlie yard some 10 paces
behind Carr, and Brown was close behind me. Can-
met f has McCnllers near the gate with his knapsack, 1
did not hear wha* capt Carr said to him for I walked
past him am! went into the house—saw [tho body-of j
f'rossland—I came directly out of the house to see what
would be done; I met capt • arr near the door, asked
him what he intended doing, he said if he could find
paper he should go to making cartridges; ordered me
to taKe7 men and go up the river and Keep a good
Iook out. YVhen I returned every one seemed satisfi
ed. capt Carr was engaged with the men in making
cartridges. As to his acting cowardlv or attempting to
leave the place. I saw norheard nothing of it.

I heard a conversation that took place between capt
Carr and sergeant major Brown sometime I think in
July last, in the court iioqse in Knoxville In that
conversation I heard sergeant major Brown say, that
capt Carr did not ask him to take thh command, and
that he Brown, had not said that Carr asked him to
take the comm ind, bnt that lieut Robertson of 8 Urn un
asked him. and that he Brown, thought Carr was near
enough to hear it, and did not object, 'therefore he,
Brown thought that silence gave consent'and that he
did take the command. Tho above are sergt major
Brown’s words to the best of my recollection ,
