REPORT. From the Secretary of the Treasury, in com pliance with a resolution of the Senate, show ing the amount of appropriations made by acts passed at the last session of Congress, *'■ Sfc. Treasury Department, July 6, 1836. Sir : I have the honor to teport on the seve ral matters contained in a resolution o( the Sen ate, passed June 25th, 1836, in the following words: “ Resolved, That the Secretary of the I rea surv be directed to report to toe Senate on the 4th dav of July as follows : 1. The amount of outstandingappropriatious of lonner years, unexpended on the Ist oi Jan uary, 1836, and chargeable upon the present year. 2. The amount of permanent appropriations chargeable on the present year. 3. A detailed list of the acts of a general or public nature p issed at the present session ot Can’ress, and the amount appropriated by eaih act. 4. A statement of the number of private bills passed at the present session, and the aggre gate amount appropriated by them. 5. The amount drawn from the Treasury du ring the present year. 6. The amount in the Treasury subject to draft. 7. The amount of revenue expected to be received during the remainder of the year. And if the said report cannot be made bef< re the adjournment of Congress on the 4th of Ju ly, then to be received by the Secretary of the Senate, and one thousand extra copies thereof to be printed and distributed as other public doc uments.” 1. In answer to the first inquiry concerning *• the amount of outstanding appropriations of former years, unexpended on the Ist of Janua ry, 1836, and chargeable upon the present vear,” 1 have to remark that it was $8,726,- 990. 2. “ The amount of permanent appropria tions chargeable on the present year” is ascer tained and computed to be $3,913,670. As |>art of this amount de|x-nds on estimates, a schedule is annexed of each act, and the sums already paid, and those expected to be paid un der each—(A.) 3. “ A detailed list of the acts of a general or public nature, passed at the present session of Congress, and the amount appropriated by each act," is annexed.—(B.) The sums appropriated are in several cases ; indefinite and uncertain, but have been estima ted from the best data attainable. They will a mouut in the aggregate, as ascertained and com puted, to $34,577,018. 4. “A statement of the number of private bills i passed at the present session, and the aggregate amount appropriated by them,” is subjoined. The whole number of such bills has been 289. and the amount appropriated by them, as ascer tained where certain, and as computed where uncertain is $220,000. 5. “ The amount drawn from the Treasury during the present year,” up to the 30th of June, 1836, and exclusive of the Chickasaw fund, is $11,281,177. 6. “Theamount in the Treasury subject to draft.” excluding the Cnickasaw fund and un available assets, was on the 27th June, 1836, by the Treasurer’s report, $31,652,464. 7. “ The amount of revenue expected to be received during the remainder of th« year” is $16,000,000. Should the receipts from lands continue to be unusually large, this estimate may be too low ; whereas, if they fall oil’very much, it will prove too high. On that subject it is impossible to at tain any great degree of ceitainty at this time. If any thing is received from the bank stock of the United States before the close of the year, the amount of revenue may be increased to that •xtent above the preceding estimate. From the above reply to all the inquiries in the resolution of the Senate, the general re sults, presented in a condensed form, are as fol lows : The whole charges on the Treasury for 1836, Ascertained and estimated, arc $47,437,678, •viz. Appropriations oustanding Ist Jan. 1836, $8,726,990 Appropriations permanent, charge- able to 1836, 3,913,670 Appropriations general, passed 1836, 34,577,018 Appropriations private, passed in 1836. 220,000 The whole means to meet these charges are, as ascertained and estimated, $61,933,641, viz. Amount already received and paid out of the Treasury towards them, $11,281,177 Amount received and now on hand, including what was in the Trea- sury on Ist Jan. last. 34,652,464 Amount expected to be received during the residue of the year, 15,000,000 This would leave in the Treasury, on the Ist of January, 1837, an excess of $14,495,963 of means beyond the charges; but the appro priations have been made so late the present year, that the excess of money in the Treasu ry, beyond, the sum then actually expended, must be much larger, and, though it cannot now be computed with accuracy, will probably ex ceed $27,000,000.

The following letter from General Wilcox to the Governor, contains the cheating intelli gence of a brilliant and decisive battle between a corps of Volunteers from the county of Lowndes, and a party of hostile Indians, sup posed to be the same which lately passed through Baker. The Georgia boys have done honor to them selves and their State, and relieved a large por tion of their fellow-citizens from the predatory inroads of this band of outlaws. TELFAIR County,July 16, 1836. Governor Schley: Dear Sir—l have this moment learned by express from one ot the posts on the head wa ters of the Suwanne, that they had an engage ment yesterday, with a party of Indians/in which our friends succeeded in killing and cap turing the whole. W e lost in the engagement, three killed, and gix or eight wounded. The Indians had nineteen killed. Among the killed I regret to state, there were three women and one child. 1 wunty prisoners, all women and children. I am not able to state who commanded, but suppose it to be Col. Blair of Lowndes. You must excuse the shortness of my letter, as it is written on a temporary table, and in great haste. Very respectfully, Your ob’t. serv’t. MARK WILCOX. P. S.—The persons killed, are Penny well Folse m, Mr. Shanks, and Mr. Parris. Since the above was received, the following letter reached the Governor by express, on Sun day evening last, containing a detailed account of the affair, which reflects the highest credit upon the gallantry and good conduct of our citizen soldiers of Thomas and Lowndes. Thomasville, 19th Juiy, 1836. His Excellency Gov. Schley— l have’to inform, your Excellency, that on the night of the 11th inst. authentic information reached Thomasville, that a party of Indians, about fifteen in number, were seen in the upper part of Thomas comity, marching in a direction for Florida. By seven o'clock A. M. the next day, a company < f men, forty-six in number, under the command ofCapt. James A. Newman, was despatched in pursuitof them. On Thursday thereafter, this company was joined by a company of about forty men. from Lowndes county, under the command of Captain Pike, when the companies elected Michael Young to take command of the battalion. Scouting par ties being despatched, the Indians, fifteen in num ber, were discovered in the fork of the Big War rior Creek and Little River. The Battalion im mediately proceeded across the River, mid scour ed a very thick, muddy swamp, about two miles wide and three long, without making nuy discove ry. A company of thirty-one men from Thomas county, under the command of Capt. Tucker, and a company of fifteen men, from Lowndes county, commanded by Captain Sharp, then joined the Battalion. The next morning Captain Sharp wa. sent up tho east side of the river, to ascertain whether or not, the Indians had crossed the river and left tbe swamp. Having found their trail, he despatched a messenger to the Battalion, and pro ceeded to follow after the Indians. After pursu ing them about three miles, he came up with them, (about sixty warriors and their families) and a bat tle ensued, in which he lost one killed (Mr. P. Fol son) and one wounded, when he was forced to re treat. The Battalion hastened to his assistance, an<l in about three miles came up with them again, posted in a vray advantageous position on a pine ridge, their tear protected by a cypress pond, and in their front a wide, open, boggy meadow. A general engagement commenced about 9 o’clock. A. M. ami after a severe fight for two hours, the Indians were completely routed, with a hiss of twenty-two Indians and two negroes killed, that were seen; many wounded, and eighteen of the women and children taken prisoners. The battle was fought, over a distance of three miles, through several cypress ponds and bays, and a verv thick hurricane. The loss on the part of tbe whites were two killed, (Benton Ferrell of Thomas county and Edward Shanks of Lowndes) and nine wounded. Several horses were killed; several ran off during the engagement and have not since been heard of. The prisoners have been confined in the county jail under a guard, for their safety. Your Excellency will please direct what disposi tion to make of them. The expenses of the de tachment will be furnished you as soon as the Quarter Master can make out his account. Yours Respectfully, THOMAS E. BLACKSHEAR, Col. Oom. 69th Reg. G. M. BALDWIN HUSSARS. We learn from a few of the company who have reached this place, that they were all dis charged on Friday last, and are expected to ar rive this day at 11 o’clock. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon Capt. Gaither, his officers and men, for their zeal and activity in. the cause 1 They have sought danger in every direction, and evinced on all occasions the greatest solicitude to en counter the enemy, and have scoured the coun try from Columbus to Baker county in quest of a fight. They arc generally in good health, and will be met by their Baldwin friends with a hear ty shake, and a warm and welcome reception. OUR CONGRESSIONAL TICKET. We announced in our last, the Congressional Ticket of the Union party. It is composed of the late delegation entire, and comes recommended with increased favor and confidence, from tho active and able man ner in which they have discharged their public duties. They have proved themselves good men and rue, and especially on all subjects directly in volving tbe interests of Georgia, they have dis played an energy and devotion which nothing could surpass. Daring the Lite session, the Cherokee Trcaty has been ratified, and ample appropriations made to carry its provisions into effect,although opposed by Whigs of al) sorts and sizes—Web ster, Clay, Calhoun, John Quincy Adams, Wise, “id ot omiie genus.” Liberal appropriations have also been made for meeting the expenses of Indian wars, and for removing the savages beyond the Mississip- THE STANDARD OF UN ' pi, and we may now look with confidence to a day, not far distant, when the savage yell will be no more heard upon our borders. 1 hey stand before the country as men who have boon tried ami not found wanting, and will receive the undivided support of the UNION Party. Let it be remembered, that the first Monday in October will soon arrive, and we should be up and doing. THE SURPLUS REVENUE. In our remarks two weeks since, upon the disposition of the surplus revenue by which it is to be in part, deposited in the Treasury of Geor gia, we threw out a suggestion as to what course we should take. \\ e thought, and so express ed ourselves, that if it were placed in tbe Cen tral Bank, and loaned to the people at the low rale of six per cent interest, its benefits would be more widely diffused, while it would pay a handsome dividend to the State, to be appropri ated as the wisdom of future Legislatures might dictate. In m iking the remarks above referred to, we expressed nothing more than our own convic tions of the policy of the course recommended, without the slightest intention of exciting a dis cussion with our friends, either upon the merits of the Central Bartk, or the distribution of the money through its agency. But as it regards the act of Congress under the provisions of which, this large amount of the surplus revenue is to come into the Trea sury, we expressed no opinion, and barely re marked, that “if it must come,” we believed it should be loaned out through the Central Bank. In the Editorial of our friend of the Constitu tionalist of the 15th inst., we regret to find, that he has taken for granted, what does not appear in our article, and what we never intended to state. He says, we are “pleased with the plan adopted by Congress.” We are not all pleased with the act, but it is passed, and beyond our control, and “if the money must come,” let us manage it for the best interests of the country. If the people decide through their Representatives that it shall be loaned out at six per cent, we are satisfied— and if they choose to invest it in Rail Road stock, or other works of Internal Improvements, we are still satisfied. But so far from being pleased with the mea sure adopted by Congress in regard to the pub lic deposites, we take leave once for all, to say, we view it with very serious apprehensions, and predict, that if the continuance of an oppressive compromise Tariff shall accumulate a large surplus to be divided annually among the States, for many years to come, it cannot fail to pro duce a pernicious effect upon our free institu tions. We say, divided among the States, be cause there is in our opinion, no probability that it will ever be called for by the General Government • We should not at present, have made any further remarks upon this subject, but for the misapprehension under which our friend of the Constitutionalist labors, with regard to our views upon the late act of Congress. We have now, we think, expressed ourselves so plainly, that no doubt can hereafter exist as to our opinions, and whatever others may think of the wisdom or policy of the measure, is a matter entirely with themselves. Nor are we disposed at present, to enter tho lists with our friends upon the merits of the Cen tral Bank. It is an institution winch has bad our decided support, and which we believe has done more good, and is calculated to produce more to the people at large, than any other Banking Institution in the State, while we think it possesses less power to do mischief. If we can be convinced ofits dangerous tendency—of its capacity to “contend with tbe people for the supreme power,” we shall be as ready to lay the axe to the root of the evil, as any one else.— But we require tho charges, the specifications and the proof.—Wc must see and know where in this great power Heth, before we can lend our aid to pull it down. If the fault lies in the administration of the institution, let it be known ; let every act be distinctly charged, investigated and corrected; and we entertain no doubt, that it will be sus tained by the people. The Bank belongs to tbe State, and is placed under the immediate supervision and inspection ol the Legislature, and so far, has gained upon the confidence of the community. Letthcirvi gilance be cncredsed—let the whole concern be sifted from year to year—all its transactions thoroughly examined, and its administration conducted in the spirit of tbe charter, and we hazard nothing in predicting that it will continue to find increased favor with the public. We are done with this subject for the present. The Bank, as well as all of our institutions is in the hands of the people. They have tried it for seven or eight years, and arc fully competent to decide for themselves. If they prefer to get mo ney at six per cent, instead of eight, ten, fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five per cent, be it so; but they know their own interest and will judge for themselves. With their decision we shall be satisfied. For the Standard of Union. THE FEDERAL UNION—THE CENTRAL BANK—SURPLUS REVENUE! Mr. Editor: It seems that the crusade gotten up by the Editor of the Federal Union against the President of the Central Bank, has gained a re cruit in the person of “the sOgacions Editor of tbe Constitutionalist.” Being among those who tho’t it prudent on the part of Dr. Fort not to notice this puny assault upon his character, lAv as grati fied to witness the effects produced by such a course, and had indulged tbe hope that these effects, being so obvious, even to the assailants themselves, would have tended to correct their judgement, if not to restrain their passions. The Coiislitutiomtlisi has, however, hit upon a new idea, and supposes by coupling the “surplus reve enue” with the exhausted efforts of the Federal Union, to renew tbe excitement. It is not my purpose to add any fury to this tea-pot storm by at emptiug to argue any of the points which tha Constitutionalist so gravely discusses, but justice demands that the true cause of all this dissatisfac tion should be fairly exposed. When this is done, I, for one, will be content that the Federal Union, the Constitutionalist and their anonymous coad jutors may exhaust their fury unmolested. The ION. people of Georgia will do justice to all parties and I shall be satisfied. it lias, no doubt, been a wonder to many honest people, how the President of the Cen tral Bank could, by virtue of his office, legitimate ly acquire all the "tremendous power" attributed to him by his adversaries. Such have been the terms, used in relation to this individual, that one would suppose the Central Bank pos sessed a charm nothing short of magic, or that tbe President had actually made a bnsiness of buying influence with the money of the Bank! They talk ol "the alarming growing power of the Presi dent"— "the gigantic step towards power and dicta tion," and invoke patriotism itself to crush the “MONSTER” !! How superlatively ridiculous ! To undertake to reason with such nonsense would be but to share the folly of the authors it. But for the satisfaction of those who have not examin ed into the subject, we will enquire for a moment how far these vapourings accord with facts. The President ot the Central Bank has no more power or influence in passing notes, or in the election of officers than any other member of the Board. In deed, it would seem that the balance of influence is rather against him in some of these matters ; for, since he has presided over the institution, seven vacancies have occurred, and in fouroutof the se ven his choice in filling them has been overruled. Does this look like dictation? But the sapient editor of the Constitutionalist asserts, and the Federal Union echoes the asser tion, that "the institution (they mean the Presi dent) has already made a gigantic step towards porcerand dictation.” Now is it not fair to enquire what is the step alluded to? When was it taken ? If it is intended to convey the idea that tho Presi dent has managed the Bank corruptly, let the transaction be named and the corruption exposed. The public have tho right to call for proofs in this matter, and if those who circulate such charges fail to furnish them, the people will regard them as vile calumnies and treat them accordingly. But how, and when was it that ths tans made the discovery of Dr. Fort's “alarming power” ? Was it when he voted for John W. Porter as Cashier of the Central Bank? Not so.— The discovery was made months before the date of that transaction—ln the spring of 1835, in ano ther affair of far greater magnitude. It will be remembered that the plan proposed to ascertain ihe sense of the Union party in the selection of a candidate for Governor, required a committee at the Seat of Government to receive and count the votes given from the several judicial circuits.— Dr. Fort and Mr. Cuthbert were both on this com mittee, and differed in their views and wishes on this subject. Mr. Cuthbert desired the nomination and was advised that Dr. Fort preferred the pre sent incumbent and would use his influence to pro cure his nomination. This he did, and Mr. Cuth bert was defeated by a vote of about four to one! Mortified at the leanness of his popularity, Mr, Cuthbert charges his defeat to Dr. Fort's influence, denounces him as a “dictator,” and determines on revenge. This, and not the election of Cash ier of the Central Bank, is "the gigantic step to wards power and dictation”— this, and nothing else, has converted the Central Bank into such a dough faced “monster" as it is now represented. Oh, what a hobgoblin ! ! Rise in your majesty, peo ple of Georgia, “ down wiih the monster, aud res cue your liberties” !!! Now if Mr. Cuthbert’s opinion that Dr. Fort did prevent his nomination were well founded, then indeed the course he has taken to be revenged is, pel haps, fair enough, considering that every tiling is fair*and honorable in a contest agaiust "pi.wei fulanibition." Mr. Cuthbert has, however, great ly overrated the power of the "ambitious President of the Central Bank," as well as widely mistaken ihe means by which he acquited the power he real ly possesses. 'Pho votes given in -deciding the question of nomination, so far from evidencing the “power and dictation” of Dr. Fort, make it exceedingly doubtful whether his power, being thrown in favor of Mr. Cuthbert, could have pro cured for him the nomination. I now close this article with a parting admoui- ! tiou to the “Federal Union.” Lt ea.mot be dis guised that the course of this press in relation to this Central Hauk aflair is very generally, almost universally disapproved by the Union party, It remains to be seen how far the harmony and in tegrity of the party is to be affected by this act i f its rashness. The relation it sustains to tiie Union party is one of vast responsibility; aud it has felt, aud will continue to feel, that the prostitution ol its columns to the gratification cd jrersonvd revenge, agaiust a prominent member of the party, cannot, and wiil not be toleiated. It may madly pursue its course ; it may distract and consequently de stroy tlie Union party; but let it remember, when the crush comes, the SAMPSON that occasions ir, execrated and despised, will lie buried beneath the ruins. HENRY. for tuh standard of union. No. 50. Mr. Van Buren—Judge Longstreet—Old Clarkmen. I had supposed that tho testimony in favor of Mr. Van Buren, against the chargeof Abolition ism, was closed. But this testimony, already ample, is confirmed by his vote ia case of the tie on a motion to amend the bill to prevent tbe circulation of incendiary writings. On this oc casion, Mr. Van Buren voted with the South ern members, and against a majority of the Nor thern members. But nothing satisfies his revilers; they say he did this to secure the support of the South. Had he voted against the motion, they would have proclaimed it as proof of abolitionism. And had he not voted at all, they would have adduced the fact as evidence of a want of firm ness. I again turn to Judge Longstreet. “ Oh but,” say the new recruits, “ you wish to divide and conquer.”—Divide and conquer what!” continues the judge, “Divide anti- Van Buren men from Van Buren men, and con quer the first? [he intended to say' the last.] — Yes, we do want to do that, and if you (the old Clark men we mean) will utter the holiest sen timents of your hearts, you want to do so too.” No doubt Judge Longstreet wishes to divide anti-Van Buren from Van Buren men, in the ranks of his adversaries ; but hr. wishes no sttc/i division among his friends. It is indeed politic in Nullifiers, to divide and conquer anti-Nullifiers, but it would be VERY SILLY IN ANTI-NULLI FI EBS TO BE WIL LINOLY DIVIDED AND CONQUERED BY THEIR AD VERSARIES. But how doos Judge Longstreet know that the old Clark men wish to conquer the Van Bu ren men ! Ibe great body of them have taken a stand in favor of Mr. Van Buren. Would Judge Longstreet have us believe they were compelled, or inveigled to do so? Do not their I numbers aqd intelligence enable them to take (their own course ? Or would ho have us be lieve they are not honed, in the support oi Mr. 'Van Buren ? “If, says lie, you would t’tter the honest sentiments of your heart,s” <Sj'C. ! The Nullifiers, notwithstanding their former support of Mr. Van Buren, are now generally opposed to him. May not the Clark men hon estly support him, notwithstanding their former opposition? They formerly opposed him as tbe friend of Mr. Crawfiord. They now sup port him as the friend of the Administration, and the representative of correct opinion. LACON. Juiy Bth, 1836.

He is,one, who stands by the Constitution, maintains the “Union of the States, and the sovereignly of the States," and who believes that the perpetuity of both, depends upon tbe pre servation of each. Who supports tbe princi ples of Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Jack son, and all those stern republicans who have built up and sustained our free institutions. Who is a Whig? He is a man of any’ party or no party, pro vided he is opposed to the administration of General Jackson, and the election of Martin Van Buren. Let us sec.—Tne whole opposition, hetero genious as it is, have united under one flag and one ngme, from Maine to N<aw Orleans. They call themselves the Whig party, and rally to the same standard. Slade and Everett of Vermont, John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts, and Mr. Granger of New York, are open and avowed Abolitionists. They are Whigs and acting in concert with the Whig party. —An Abolitionist is therefore a Whig. The Federalists are united in fl*e same cause, and therefore Whigs. The Tariffites and Bank ites also, are Whigs of the first water. The Nullifiers too. They call themselves Whigs —are shoulder to shoulder with the Whig party in opposition to Jackson and Van Buren, and are as zealous Whigs as the balance. Such a combination was never seen before, and will probably never be seen-again. For myself, as a Southern man and a Demo crat, I would not act in concert with the Aboli tionists, and if they were to support Van Buren in a body, as th. y now oppose him, I would de sert him. Look at their candidates for President and Vice President 1 Judge White who is willing “to become all things to all men,” so lie can gain the election—Mr. Webster, half Abolition —whole Federal—genuine Hartford Conven tion, and General Harrison, a Federalist of the old school, and a decided Abolitionist. For Vice President, Governor Ty ler, an open Nul lifier, and Granger, as decided and blood-thirsty On Abolitionist as Arthur Tappan ; and the Whig papers declare they will take either, in stead of Van Buren and Johnson, long tried, and well proved republicans. Union men of Georgia 1 fall not into the pit which the Whigs have dug for you. PAUL PRY. July Bth, 1836. To the editor of the Standard of Union.
