Montgomery, Ala. Feb. 18.
ffy** On Friday bast, a battle was fought be-'
tveen a small body of Creek Indians, number
ing about forty, and a portion of settlers residing
in the neighborhood of the bridge across Pea
liver, on tlie main road leTling fnnn M. nticel-
10 in Pike County, to the Florida line. Six In
drans are repot ted to have been killed in the
skirmish.
Since tita*. period, we have received some la-!
tCT intelligence, whirligoes to show that these
same Indians, nte on their n ay to Florida, and
tint a lew day . a-o, they killed a white man
who resided below the bridge on Pea river, in '
a dirvclion towards the Seminole country.
Our informant state, that live bandied men
at least, are in pursuit of them, and that it is
more than likely they will be captured, and
brought to answer the ends of justice.—. Mr.
Th t London Courier of January fJJ, has the fol
lowing remarks on President Jackson's last annual ■ 1
Manage.
The Farewell Message of President Jackson.'
which we insert almost entire, will be read with ,
interest. Tiu Speech of the French King merit- ,
ed uot a little praise : but for copious information i ,
as to the state and policy of the country , tl.o I’ies
idenl'r Message casts it iuto theshadc. The open . '
ing of Congress is fixed l»y the American (fousti
tutiont nnd it might pos-tblybcus wclfiftlie Sove- !
reigns of Europe, whs can choose their own time I
for assembling their Parliaments, were not lo pro- ij
voko comparison with the Presidential Messages. I
Let us say fw uno thing—which we conceive to be I
of,much iuipoi lance iu relation to tile censure,
continually thrown on the bailed States for not ; ,
having an Established Church—that tho expres- , j
sien of heartfelt, fervent piety, which prevails in
this as in most of the annual’ Messages, and which '
cannot be without their influence on the public,'
mind of America, will bear a favourable compart- ' :
son with the language of the most pious Monarch 1
of the most richly endowed Church of Europe. '
Ixit us also say, that the total absence of threats to i
auy part of bis fellow-citizens--of all allusions to i
coercions aud restraint—the great confidence which |
pervades the Message—with the number of allu-j
sions to internal improvement, including even a
more speedy mail communication with Europe---*
makes the President’s Message a noble proof of 1
administrative wisdom, such as we do not often 1
see iu the Old World. The particular topics of | !
the Message, as we place nearly tho whohi «f the <
document before our readers, don.it call for re
mark , but we cannot lie Ip untieing that the Gov
erumentof the United States is actually embar-, j
rassed by itssurplus revenue .' The Government i .
raises more than it can u-c ; and the duties which ' '
pour this sum intu its coffrs hiving been levied on '
the erroneous principle of giving protection to cer- I '
tain brunches of industry, instead of merely sup- I
plying the w ants of the public service, cannot be
immediately got rid of without injuring the branch- j
es of industry they were meaut to protect. Thus '
wc are taught, that to act ou this erroneous priuci- j
pie -whether the political body be in robust health !
like the United States, in a medium condition of
improvement like England, or in a "pining atro
phy” like some of the over-iemulated States of the ’
Continent—is everywhere productive of mischief.
Political wisdom is at fault iu America, as here ; f
for the Constitution has made no provision for
disposing of a surplus revenue, the possibility of
such a thing never having been contemplated ;
and, as other constitutions are overthrown by the
debtsoflhe government and the poverty of the
people, that of the United States seems to be
threatened by an excess of wealth !
, Cases have uot uidrequcntly occurred, io which '
letters scut by the expies mail have failed to
reach their destination al the time specified, but
on which the triple postage has nevctthelcss been
aftenv ui d s denian led. i his is <i grievance, •
m hich* although sanctioned by existiujx laws,
should be collected forthwith. In the estahlish
ineut ol the express mail, an agreement was virtu- !
ally made betwen the Government and those who j
might send letters by this conveyance, that pro
vided they would pay three times the ordinary ■
postage, their cuinmnuicatioas should be carried 1
Irom point to point, at a certain rate, or in a given i
11 urn her oi hours. In order to procure certainty
in the execution of its portion of the agreement,'
the Government in making arrangements with I
contractors to carry the express mail, stipulated
'.tout n failure to do the service within the time '
agreed on, should operate as a forfeiture of the
compensation; through which under-landing,
contractors have, over and over again, been de
prived oi their pay. which is of course, so much
saved to the Government. With what show of
propriety th< n, we « odd ask. can the Post Office
Department Le authorized ahd required to exact '
triple posngp, Wh en the consideration for which-:
iris paid ent irefy failed, not owing to any i
fault-of the othe r contrncimg party, but from the '
iiugligouce or ig nurnuee of its own agents? The 1
object in view is speed l: nd certainty in the trans- 1
porlation of inlu ru.ation to the point specified, to]
.ensure which, merchants are Milling to pay triple
postage : :.nd if, for some cause originating with
the servants of the Post Office Department, the
service k not duly performed, with what show of
justice can payment he demanded for what has
.uotbeeu done.— Util. Amer.

/\>pn!<:tion nJ Tuas.— The population of
Texas, as given by Mr. ILM. Moriit, in his cor
respondence with the Secretary of State is,
.>O,(MK), of which 30,000 are Anglo Americans, ]
; from the I T . States, 3,500 native Mexicans oi l
1 Spanish descent, 12,000 Indians, and 5,000 :
Negroes. The additional territory claimed, i
since tbc declaration of Independence, will in
crease the population to 65,000. Exclusive of
the army of 2200, there are 5000 aide bodied
farmers, which, in an emergency, would furnish
3000 of their number.
M’orthtf of imitation.— At a late session of
tlie legislature of Missouri lawshave been pass
ed to prohibit the establishment in the State ol
I bank agencies, by banks of other States. The
United States Bank agency at St. Louis, has
1 been directed to close forthwith, and the Agen
■' ey of tho Commercial Bank of Cincinnatti, by
:lie -Ith of July next. |
The Eastern papers state that it is the inion- 1
lion of -Mr. Webster lo resign his stat in the*;
1 Senate at the end of the present session.

Pincers of the Sun's rays.— Mr. Macintosh, '
who had occasion to descend in a diving bell ’
! or the purpose of laying die foundation of a sea
wall, found that the sun’s rays so much conver
-1 ged by the convex glass which served as a win
dow in the machine as to burn the laborer’s 1 .
clothes, when exposed to the focal point and .
whilst the machine was 25 feet under water.
Cause of Cull.— A rild wag of a tailor in
Baltimore thinks it must be mighty cold up in
Abington "for they have no thermometer there, 1
and it just gets as cold as it pleases.”
Forrest is studying Richard 3d with the view '
ol playing it in London. He performed the
part, if we recollect, at the Bowery theatre se
ven or eight years ago. There seems to be no ,
diminution of his popularity in England.
Jim Crow has danced himself into, the good i
graces of the duchess of St. Albans, who has 1
liberally paid his Crowsliip for his songs and !
jumps.
Acw Instrument for Amputation.— A new '
surgical instrument has been invented by a phy
sician of the name of Buller residing at Ham- j
burg. A leg may be amputated by it in a sec
ond, and it has the effect of diminishing the sen- i
sibility of the limb to the pa.:, suffered, by a
simultaneous pressure which accompanies the
operation.

Black Hatek, it seems was not drowned as '
reported heretofore—he was only drunk and
lost his hat.
Tho French in Algiers have discovered a '
new plaster or cement, made of two parts ashes, ’
three of clay, and one of sand—which being -
stirred and mixed with oil, will resist all weath
ers better than marble.
Wonderful Project.— We find the following
in a late number of the London Morning Her
ald. "A company is forming, the object of
which is to fish up, by means of diving bells the
throne of pure gold of the Incas, which the
Peruvians threw into the mineral waters of Cox
amarea, on the approach of the Spaniards.
. The various attempts of the Spaniards to obtain
i this immense treasure have been ineffectual.”
Amusing Monomania.— There is a person in
I Exeter, (N. 11.) who has the strange “crotchet”
iin his head that he manages and directs the
weather. He fancies that he causes the changes
] of the seasons, cold and heat, rain and snow.
He says that ho is employed by the United
States to take charge of the weather; and that
the government now owes him many thousands ’
for his services; he has, as vet, received noth
ing for his labor, and is indignant at it. He
threatens, if he is not paid, to quit the business,
and “the people,” he says “will have no weath-
er.
We lately received what may be deemed a
newspaper novelty, and one that tells well foi
the success attending the education of the deaf
( and dumb in this country. The paper is called
the “Radii,” and is published at Canajoharie in
I this state, by a man totally deaf and dumb.
] The title of the paper is represented by the :
I Symbolical Alphabet used in the mute lan- j
I guage invented for those unfortunates, and is a
1 very handsome affair. The editorial matter,
i and the whole arrangement of the paper exbib- I
I it good talent and correct taste.

Interesting to Horses.— “ A friend to the '
horst ” in the Pittsburg Gazette; cautions own- !
ers of horses against putting cold bits into the i
mouth of the horse when the weather is much 1
below the freezing point;—by doing so, the
consequence is, that whenever the bit touches
the tongue or lips, the skin will come off, as if I
burnt with a hot iron. Hence the sore tongue ■
in horses so often complained of and suffered,
j This fact should be made known, and the prac
| tice of warming the bits, observed in all north
j ern latitudes, where the thermometer ranges be
tween zero and the freezing temperature.
If any one doubts the truth of these remarks,
let him put bis tongue to a piece of exposed
iron in a cold morning, and lie will doubt it no I
longer.
Amiable Simplicity.— The following adver
tisement appeared in a Philadelphia paper
of 'Thursday, from some “Simple Susan:”
“A respectable female is desirous of obtain
ing a situation as housekeeper with a single
gentleman.— She has a thorough knowledge of
domestic concerns, would hart no objection to
a small family ,and would feel anxious to make
herself useful to hot employer.”
Cuff't. — Tho Americans arc said to be the

The St. Louis Republican, of the 27th ult.says,

Hare Sport.— A wager to a considerable
amount lately took place iu New York, between
two individuals, that any one of them would beat
any pair ol horses in a wagon, from St. Paul’s
C hurch to 1 riuity, in the day time, between the |
hours ot 10 and 2 o’clock, when that thoroughfare ■
is generally thronged with gigs, carriages calls,
wagons wheelbarrows handcarts and omnibnsses, j
to say nothing ot the thousands of pedestrians of *
both sexes, who are threading that street during i
these hours. I lie horses w ere privileged to go |
ahead at any pace they could, tho pedestrian the j
same. Ibe race look place, ami great was tho I
confusion iu consequence. The idea prevailed, |
that the horses w ere rnutiiug away,-and the man
on fool was striving to stop them—and every one :
attempted to get out. of the way as soon as possi
ble, and afford a clear field. After many nariow
escapes, tmde.xcitiug much alarm among the in
dividuals, particularly among the hellos and beaux
wliu are in the habit of promenading Broadway
during the fashionable hours, tho horses beat hv
about one length.
A H croine.— A hill was reported in Congress on |
the 31 st ult. granting a pension to Beuj. Gumiett
whose wife was a soldier in the revolution. It
appears Irom tho report on the Committee that
the maidon name of this lady was Deborah Samp
son, and that she was born in Sharon Mass, i
She entered the army under the name of Robert
Shurtlifl, aud served her country manfully for
three years, when she was honorably discharged
She was present tit the caetare of Lord Korn :
Wallace and was in many other engagements. I
At Tarrytown she was wounded by a musket
Her sex was not discovered while she was in the :
service.
• •he was man ied to Mr. Gannett in 1784 and drew I
a pension Irom the government until she died ’
in 18-7. Her husband having expended much

Departed this life on Wednesday night
last, aged about nine years, MARY ANN
FEY, daughter of Michael and Rosa Fey, |
of Dublin, Ireland, where they are now re- >
siding. They may console themselves with
the reflection, that the most tender and af
fectionate care was bestowed upon their
Mary Ann, during her indisposition ; and
that the last sad and solemn rites were per
for . ed with every mark of parental atten
tion and respect.
She was a lovely and interesting child,
and gave an early promise of realising the
fondest anticipations. But, alas, like the
blasted rose-bud, she has been untimely
nipped by the cold hand of the fell destroy
er—yet, her siveetness has only exhaled it
self, to fly to celestial regions.

The growing prospects of Rome, as a flourish

ly three years, during which time, not a single case
of sickness has occurred, produced from auy local
cause ; and when our advantages, natural ami ar

any civil officer of the county. But if the money I
appropriated to the comities respectively, shall not
be applied for, aud loaned within thirty days from I
the offering days above specified, then the above 1
requirement of the law in relation to the residence I
of endorsers ceases, and after that time a certifi-J
cate of the residence ofthe maker only, will be re-1
quired.
Allnotesmust be made payable at the Central '
Bank of Georgia, three hundred and sixty days!
after date, and must have two or more good en- I
