With Mexico, a rupture if almost certain. That

n i m*c how members can reconcile it to their con-
„ hits to vote against this bill, and violate the con-

■■As was expected, the Governor has vetoed the Res-
„|i,lion of the Legislature, authorizing die Central

and defray lire expenses of the State! Well, if there

M i- doubtful. There is a great deal of jealousy on this
suiiioct; ami many doubts us to the expediency of the
is;.-,i,embarking in the canoe. I'orour part, wcure
decidedly of the opinion, that no lime is to be lost, ill
ceaiideliug the great works of Internal Improvement,'
now commenced or in contemplation. If they are to
be done ut all, they should be done at once. “What
iho.i docst d<> quickly,” is an injunction never more

I't.oir being of some profit—if we wait, until our

When the treachery of a small cabal drove tne patri
ot Schley Irom the office, foi which his virtues aud
talents so eminently qualified him, the supporters of
Mr Gilmer promised us a happy aud brilliant adminis
tration of the affairs of State.—AU that wrs pure in
purpose, or elevated in achievement, would lie the in
evitable result of ihe election of the man, who, in the
language of the Recorder, had “devoted his whole life
to ihe service of Iii» couutry.’’ Well, the people—the
insulted, betrayed people—elected this individual,
who, according to the same veracious print, “in voutli
buckled on his swordand (he first act of his admin
istration, has reflected “deep and dninuing disgrace"
on the State. When, before, did the Executive officer
of a free people, refuse to feed hungry soldiers, when,
for this patriotic puriKMe, ample funds had been pla
ced in hit hands by the proper authorities? When,
before, did this same officer, sheltering himself behind
false notions of official duty, and imaginary constitu
tional barriers, scornfully refuse his gallant country
men clothes to protect them against the wind.-, and
frosts of winter ? The honor ofenndoct like this, was
reserved for George R. Gilmer—“thesoldier'sfriernl.’’
One would suppose, that an individual, who, like Mr
Gilmer, ‘had buckled on his sword in early youth,
and continued in the service of the United States until
the war was closed with Great Btitian,” would have
imbibed a prejudice in fovor of this most useful and
honorable class of men; that he could ut least afford
to treat them with common civility. But no—Mi
Gilmer, who, as wc are informed, before bis election,
“is none of your inushroon great men, brought forth
nnd perfected in a night by the heat of party excite
ment,” nil at once forgets his attachment to his
‘■brother soldier”—forgets that he too once served in
a camp, aud was exposed to accidents by “flood and
field,” and acts on the principle of the grand monarque,
“that those only deserve our notice who hare shown
themselves willing to answer our purposes.” Mark
this Republicans of Georgia—your Governor lias
adopted, as a rule of Executive conduct, the maxim
of the tyrant Napoleon! He has captiously exercised
a power wnich tlie National Assembly of mouarci ical
France, solemnly refused to grant to Louis the Four
teenth—the absolute veto! lie has concentrated in
himself tlie whole power of the State. Let our rep
resentatives come home, and there remain until the
indignant spirit of an insulted people, shall huw* driv
en this petty tyrant from his ill-gotten seat.
ONE OF THE PEOPLE.
P S. Since writing the above, intelligence has
been received that the gallant Nelson and his whole
Brigade have reached Florida, and been regularly
mustered into the service of the United States. When
will tlie “soldier's friend” lecture again on tlie “contin
gent fund”—“voluntary association of individuals”
“under no obligation to march to Florida,” Sec ! How
jong will Georgia permit this selfish, cold-hearted be
ing—who never felt a single patriotic emotion in his
jife—who indirectly at least takes the part of the Sem
inole Indians, by refusing the means of subsistence to
those who are marching against them, to preside over
her destinies ? The best thing his Fxccliencv could
do would be to resign. O. P.
The Fugitive Creeks. On Tuesday last, a
party of Indians, with Coharjoh, one of the
hostile Creeks lately captured by the friendly
Indians, were deputed by the Governor to hold
a talk with the fugitives lately discovered on
the Choctahatchee. Col. Brown, who has been
in pursuit for a short time, has been ordered to
suspend operations until tlie result of this confer
ence shall be made known. It is believed from
the statements of Coharjoh, that the remaining
Creeks can be induced to give tip, and go west.
Gov. Call, we understand, will leave in a few
days to meet the Indians, provided they siiow
any disposition to conform to the wishes of the
govenment.
There appears to be a considerable number
of Creeks quartered between the Cboctahatchic
Bay and the coast, made up of fugitives from
nearly all tho tribes in the nation, who, since
the war upon them in Aiabama,have concentra
ted in this retired section, where they have re
sided unmolested during the summer. Theyap
pear perfectly friendly, unless when called up
onto emigrate. A few days since, a party of 3
in a canoe boarded a keel-boat on the Chocta-
hatcheo, loaded with provisions. The Indians
purchased corn, Su. paid the cash, and left
peaceably. They requested the captain of the
boat to bring them powder, for which they offer
ed one dollar per pound in specie: their inten
tion, they stated, was to remain quiet, but if
fired upou by the whites, to resist to the last.
It is strouglv believed that the present ar
rangements, will meet with favour and that
the Indians will pcacebly remove.— Tallahas

Wo announce, with unfeigned pleasure, the
cheering intelligence, that the gallent baud of
Volunteers, from the iiiouutaiu regiou of Georgia,
under the command of our distinguished fellow
citizou, Major General Charles H. Nelson, has
reached the Territory of Florida, where they
have beeu received with acclamations, and
mustered into the service of the U. States.
The following letters, with which we hove
been politely furnished by Col. Craue, to whom
were ml dressed; will relieve the friends of
Volunteers fium a state of great anxiety,

hand
We arc gratified to - learn by the annexed
paragraph front the St. Louis Bulletin of the
14th instaut, that the appreheusions entertain
ed on account of threatened Indian troubles on
the Missouri Frouticr, have been happily dis
pelled.
By the late information from Fort Leav
enworth, we learn the frontier people below
the Osage River, have been endeavoring to
raise an excitement in that section of the
State by expressing alarms against the Osage
Indians, many of whom have come within tlie
boundaries of the State with their wives and
children, for the purpose of hunting and upon
the strength of written permission given them
by some of the white Inhabitants residing with
in the State. Gen. Lucas left Independence
immediately ou receiving the rumor with about
500 militia to oppose the aggressors. Col.
Kerny, the Commandant at Fort Leavenworth
fearing unnecessary difficulty and believing the
motives of the Indians to be entirely pacific,
immediately dispatched Capt. Summer with
100 Dragoons, and a few days after fifty more,
to drive the Indians without the boundary of
the State for their burning purposes, and to
interpose his contmaud, and keep separate the
whites and Indians. The circumstance of tha
Indians bringing their wives and children with
them, is conclusive evidence that they did not
anticipate danger or bloodshed, and though the
whites had no authority to grant permission to
the Indians to hunt within the limits of the
State, yet it is not to be supposed that the poor
ignorant Indians knew they were encroaching
when they had received permission from the
whites. It is believed, hewever, now, that all
difficulties have been settled; the Indians
retreated to their own iiunting lands, and the
militia to their homes. The detachment of
Dragoons sent out under Capt. Summer was
expected at Fort Leavenworth on the 10th or
12th Instant.

dred Alabamians. Also with exquisito, pleasure,
I tel! you. to the mortification of our eucmics
that our coinmnud is uot ouiy received, hut
kindly, by General Je»up- When Nelson repor
ted his contmaud :o him, through Governor
Call, he hailed our anticipated approach with
even shouts of joy. Therefore, you can tell the
Nullies who opposed us (death in the pot to
them—go thou sinking into oblivion, with eagle's
flight.) We also are now drawing from the
General Quarter Master of the South, subsis
tence and forage, and not only that, but money
to meet our demands. Craue, you nnd your
whole patriotic Philanthropist, have a name with
us, which will only die when the Georgia Sol

Pitman that peace be unto them iu life, and also
in death. We have mauy Nullifiere in our corps

••Dear Sir,—Our acceptance into the service,
has been fully as complimentary, as we bad a
right to expect* 1 have taken up ihe march, with
orders to reach the scene of operations by the
nearest possible route from Tallehassee, to the
sources of the St. John’s river, where Major
General Jesup is at this time expected to be
operating, 1 am one day’s march iu advance of
Tsrilchassec. where my Qoartermssier. Mr Ro
gers, reached me last uiglit,' with Ihr unpleasant
information, that he hud received no funds in
Georgia. I must regret die disappointment, as
1 drew but $5,000 at Talleliassee, to pay such
unexpected incidental expeuses, as our future
march tnight require, before wo reach Head
Quarters, and l ant therefore unable to remit
those demands, for sulisisteucc and forage, which
the citizens have so liberally furnished my com
mand to enable us to reach Florida, before I
reach Gen). Jesup. as I cannot return to Talle-
hassee, but 1 assure- all, that in tho shortest
possible time, they shall be paid.

We learn that tlie Steam-Saw-Mill, of Mr L. M.
