’wo whites wounded. The Indians were making )
theii way in the direction of Conecuh river, ititeu- ,
diug it was thought to join a small settlement of
neutral Indians on Black Water Bay in West 1
Florida. On Sunday the 12th ult. the same In
dians. having passed down Pen river were attack
ed by nine citizens, who were forced to retre»t, 1
having lost one man by the name of Faircloth.
They were pursued by the company, that had first
engaged them on the 10th. until their trail left the
swamp and look to the open pine woods, when it
was lost. .
We are informed that Companies of Citizens
from Russell and the adjoining counties are eon- '
vtantly in motion, to discover the hiding places of
the outlaws with a view t» restrain their depreda- J
tions. Things are, we think, in a fairway to re
store safety to the settlers. Preparations are ac- I J
lively making by the emigrating contractors to
take the Indians away, and no danger seems to he , r
felt’for the future unless th >se that went with .les- . '
sup to Florida, arc suffered to return. This the j
government ought by all means to prevent. They J
can be sent as easy from Tampa Bay to Mississi* ! ,
ppi, as from Tuskegee.—Their families, such as
have any. can be sent to Mobile or New-Orlcans, "
w here they can meet the warriors ami go their way ■
in peace. This course we hope will be pursued in
their removal, mid will whilst it can do the Indi- (
nils no harm, give confidence, security, and satis- (
faction to the whiles.

Black Cheek, Feb. 14.
Silt—The Steamboat John Stoney nirived nt 11
this place this mornmg, in which Lt. Col. Farmin '
mid Capt. Piercy, of the I . S. Navy, came pas- s
sengers. They report that a battle took place on
the morning of the Sth at Encampflieiit Monroe,
nt the head of Lake Monroe. This post was nt
tacked at 5 o'clock in the morning and a brisk fir „
ing kept up by both parties until t> o'cloi k, w hen v
the Indians retired. Col. Fannin was in command
of about2so regulars and Capt. Piercy in com- a
mand of 39 friendly Indians. Capt. Mellon, U. y
S. Army, was killed. Lt. J. T. McLatiglin and
>4 privates were wounded. The hostile* were es- t ,
timated at 3 or 400 strong. When the Indians c
retired, the friendly Indians yelled at and taunted s
them all they could to make them renew the at- v
tack, but uola syllable orgun washcard from them.
This account, as far as it goes, you may depend r
upon. I had it from Capt. Piercy. 0
In haste, yours, &c. t |
The above intelligence is confirmed by the arri
val at this place on Tuesday night last, of the «
Steamer Cincinnati. Capt. Curry. The attack
on Fort .Mellou (Encampment Monroe’s, at Lake (
Monroe,) was made, it is supposed by Philip and
his gaug. The battle was furiously contested, t
The loss on the side of the hostiles is not known.
The Santee was lying off on the Lake, not far p
from the Fort, in wait for the embarkation of the
Troops to transport them toYolusia, in obedience j t
to an order of Gen. Jesup. Lieut. Thomas left
the Post during the engagement and succeeded in
getting on board the Santee, played upon the b
hostiles the six pounder on the boat with great es- 0
feet.
This action must have taken place before the in- J
formation of the truce could have been received J
by those Indians who made the attack. Informa
tion of it had not been then received by Col. Fan- c
ning. e
The forces at Fort Mellon returned to Volusia
onthellth. No Indians having been seen about t
tlie Fort from the Bth up to the 11th.
It is the general opinion that the above affair t
will not break up the truce now existing, nor have
any effect on the course the Indians will pursue, in
relation to closing the war, by y ielding themselves
up for removal.
LATEST FROM TEXAS. '
We understand that General F. J. Rusk, has re- 1
signed the appointment of Secretary of State, to i
which he was appointed, aftei the decease of Gen. i
8. F. Austin.
The ill health and neglect of the circumstances I
of Gen. Rusk— his long absence from home—his 1
distant residence from the seat of government, 1
connected with the recent death of his brother-iu- : i
law, Maj. L. Smith, rendered such acourse neces
sary. But we aie assured that should the necessi
ties of the country again require his services, he will
be found at the post of danger and usefulness.
Late Appointments by the President.— Gen. J.
Pinckney Henderson. Secretary of State. Colonel
Peter W . Grayson, Attorney General.
We have received official returns of the election
for this county from all parts, but so far as we can
learn, we believe the following gentlemen are
elected, viz :Col. Wm. G. Hill, for Senator ; Wm.
P. Scott, clerk of the district court ; Robett J.
Calder, sheriff; Wm. T. Austin, or A. J. Harris,
clerk of the county court; there being some doubt
which of the latter will have a majority of votes.
iMter from Texas—By the New Orleans Bul
lelm of Monday we learn that dates to the 10th inst
from Columbia had been received there, which
bring little news of importance, except the resig
nation of Gen. Rusk, of the State Secretary-ship.
Gen. J. P. Henderson hail been appointed in his
place. The ill health of Gen. Rusk is said to have
rendered this step necessary on his part. Col. Pe
ter W. Grayson has been appointed Attorney Gen
-oT*lo
In reference to the Mexican forces and the pros
pect of another campaign in Texas, we make the
following extract from the Texas Telegraph.
We learn sum a gentleman whohasjust arrived
from Bexar, that a Mr. Navarro had reached that
place a few days before he left. Mr. Navarro is
represented as being decidedly friendly to our cause
and one whose statements are entitled to credit.
He states that the .Mexican forces are destined for
Texas, consisted of one thousand troops at Mon
tarcy ; two thousand at Matamoras ; and about
one hundred at Laredo;—that they are in a state of
insubordination, badly clothed, and worse fed, ma
ny, many of whom are in irons, and the remainder
•ay they will stay there and fight the Texiar.s if
they invade Mexico ; but that they will not nor
cannot be forced into Texas. He further states,
that Bravo had reached Saltillo to take the com
mand; hut finding the army in such a disorganized
condition, and no money provided for their pay,
tie bad returned to Mexico in d isgust, Mr. Nevar
ro thinks there is no danger of an invasion thisyear. 1
The above statements correspond with news re
ceived from New Orleans, via Vera Cruz aud .Mat- i
amoras.
Notwithstanding the above information which ■
argues well organize our militia, and be ready at a
moments warning ; after which wo would say
•• plant coru.”

Sir—Since my letter of the 27rh ult. I hdve
had nothing of interest to apprise you of until the

MEXICAN VFFAIRS.
In i/irlast we gave the President's Message re
lative to a prospective difficulty with Mexico. We '
now give a listol the wrongs committed against
the persons and commerce of the I nitcil States
as detailed in a letter of .Mr. .Secretary Forsyth,
to our Minister .Mr. F.liis. ami w hich in their sepa- '
rate or aggregate atrocity seem to justify to the !
fullest extent, the severest measures of national I
redress. We arc not the advocates of uunecessa- I
ry w ar. nor are wetlisposed to submit to the wrongs )
and outrages of neighboring nations who are sap - i
posed to understand what is due from one gov-]
eminent to another, and w ho regardless ueverthe-!
less ol the tint II ot treaties mid the binding obli
gations of national laws, disregard both the one
and the other, ami forfeit all claim upon the feel
ings of Irieudship. Mexico should remember that
she has taken her stand among the independent
nations of the earth, mid had made some pieteu
tions to such a course of conduct as would at least
secure the good will of the I rriterl States.—The
world will therefore beat a loss to conjecture why
she has singled out our vessels and our people for
oppression. Surely it has not been because she
thought this government would submit tamely to
her iusults and bear with her wrongs, rather than
intercept the mutual relations of peace hitherto
existing I The outrages are of a character, and
number, not to be borne, and if Mexico refuses to
redress (hem. mid still persists in contemning and
disregarding the well founded complaints urged
against her in the catalogue below, it tnaybecomd
necessary lor Congress to carry out the belligerent
views strongly hinted at in the Presidents Mes
sage.

COL. WILLIAM N. BISHOP.
The scandalous terms of reproach heaped upou
this persecuted individual, must fill with disgust i
every ingenious mind. His appointment by the
Directors of the Central Bank to an office in that
institution, has been seized upon, and reprobated
in the most scurrilous manner by those “pinks of
purity,” the Columbus Enquirer, Chtonicle&Seu- :
duel and Georgia Journal. But this was to have
been expected from them ; and should warn re
flecting men,cspec,v//y ofthe Union party, that they
1 must not pass judgment withoutdecisive evidence, ’
upou the reputation of a man assailed by such 1
“ exquisites-" The daily outrages perpetrated a
gaitist truth and justice, upon the most virtuous and
patriotic of our citizens, by these degraded Jour
nals, should at ouce be received as high evidence I
of their worth. Destitute themselves of every
principle of patriotism and honorable feeling, the
ambition of their conductors kuowsuo higher aiut
than to calumniate and defame the gi>at and good
ot the land. Deficient iu that order of intellect
necessary to discuss and throw light around the
great agitating principles of the day, they seek to
earn ascauty support lot existences so miseiable, i
by abusing and misrepresenting the conduct ofi
every political opponent brought into notice by
the changes incioeut to public life. It is not my |
purpose to detend orassail the appointmeutuf Col. '
Bishop to the post he holds in the Central Batik.
He has been placed there, however, and like all o
ther men m public offices of trust, should bejudg
ed by ins works. He is well qualified to discharge
its duties, and his integrity Ido not doubt. In the i
affections of the heart too, the writer believes him i
to be greatly and uujuslly disparaged. With a
temperament, fearless and unyielding to danger,
be unites much gentleness of heart, an expansive
generosity, unswerving fidelity, and devoted frieml
ship. But it has been his misfortune to be placed
in situations before the public where the sterner
virtues ol his nature were forced into action. The
overwhelming popularity enjoyed among the citi
zens of iis own county, speaks tn confirmation
strong” of the gentle affections. Such a man can
uo more pass Uirougli life without attracting the
enmity ot discordant spirits, than a ship might be
expected tosatl lorever on a boundless ocean with
out encountering storms and tempests. Enmity is
the homage paid by inferior minus, to greater,
i'he man wh.i parses throug h hie without an ene
my is a mere bl ,nk u creation, a thing of no val
ue. Col. Bishop, therefore, has enemies—zealous,
inveterate enemies. Is it to i/tetn we are to look
lor a just estimate of ins north ! —What living
man is there who would be willing to value his
repu tatiuii by the verdict ol a well known mali
cious enemy I And yet ills through this medium
that Uol. Bishop lias oeen judged of, his conduct,
! misrepresented and condemned w ithout a hear
, mg ! —l'his is most unjust, unmanly dealing.
i But the me*t absurd of the whole tissue of ab-
I surdities, is the censure attempted to be passed up
j on Governor Schley, for the appointment of Col.
Bishop. Is it supposed that the Governor should
'control every appointment by the Directory, and
| every aet of that bo ly I if so, then indeed the
j Governor would bav a virtual control over the
j ws.ole funds of tin; Bank ; he would, in effect, be
sole director, the office of the others may be abol
ished, and the State saved from the expense and
folly of paying three Directors; and the office of
Gucernor of titorgiabe liereatier described, in our
Constitution, as “Governor of Georgia, ami sole
Director oi the Central Bank of said State.”
l itis attempt to link the name of Governor Schley
to what is believed an unpopular appointment, for
ihe purpose ot influencing the next, elections, is a
device 100 shallow to serve the purpose.
1 n conclusion 1 would remark, that Co). Bishop
is known to be patriotically devoted to the union
party. Ibis, ol course is no recommendation to
tlie nullifiers to aid in obtaining for him even enm
inon justice. The more honorable among them
iiold aloof, as from a thing with which they have
, no conee-il, whilst the scavcagers of the party,
, those who delight ami vegetate in putridity, of
, coursechime in with the pack who have raised the
i howl. ( .id. B. cannot be moved by such canaille,
but is too pairiotic to permit an injury to lie inflic
ted upon Ins friends, thioughhini.

PRESENTATION OF THE PHAETON.
Yesterday a committee of the republicans ol
the city ot New York waited on the President
ol the I nite.l States, and presented to him the
phaeton made of the wood of the frigate Con
stitution
The phaeton is the work of L.-Knowles and
Co. ot Amherst Massachusetts. These gentle
men incurred great expense in obtaining frag
ments of the frigate Constitution, which they
sawed up into bits, so as to select portions clear
oi both holes and the discoloration of shot and
nails, that the panels might present, when united
by glue and screws an uniformed polished stir- |
lace, giving the whole the complexion of solid)
live oak. The whole carriage, every atom ot
which is composed of the oak of the ship is v. ith
otit paint, the beauty ot the surface being deri
ved from the native color of the wood, and the
high finish given to it.
I’he phaeton is of a new model, and singu
larly convenient, considering its dimensions and
lightness. The skill with which it is pul togeth
er, and the construction ot the springs, cannot
be surpassed. All the iron about it received a
perfect polish from the tile before fitted to its
place ; no flaw was left to weaken any part o*
it. The whole is adapted will: the neatness of
finish given to the mechanism of a clock. We
understand it would require at least S3OOO to
remunerate the builder tor his expense, labor and
trouble.
nlthougn the costliest materials has been used
in lining and trimming this beautiful little vehi
cle, it is altogether simple, plain and unostenta
tious.
It is m every respect a most appropriate present
from republicans to the most beloved veteran re
publican living.
The allusion in ti e President’s reply to “ the
renovated Constitution," will be understood by all
who remember that it was in contemplation to
break up the frigate Constitution, when it was as
certained she was not sea-worthy —that the Presi
dent, however, determined otherwise, and that,
under his orders, she has been admirably i ebuilt,
t was on the new ship that the famous figure
headed (decapitated in Boston, aud restored in
ew York) was placed.
We think the allusion to “the renovated Con
stitution” might quite as appropriately refer to the
Presiilent's successful efforts to preserve the ship
of State, as to his orders to restore the frigate
Constitution.
DANIEL JACKSON TO THE PRESIDENT.
Sir:—l have the honor to introduce a commit"
tec of citizens from New York, who, with myself
are charged with the duty of presenting to you a
carriage made from the timber ofthe frigate Con
stitution. The letter which 1 now place iu your
hands expresses the sentiments of those we repre
sent, and 1 take pleasure and pride iu adding that
1 believe it also justly expresses the feelings
which actuate the people generally of the State to
which we belong.
in addition to the pleasure we derive from uni
ting in this testimonial, we have the gratificatiau
of assuring you personally of our regard for your
character, aud of our grateful appreciation of the
many benefits you have conferred upon our couu
tiy.
New York Jan. 8, 1837.
Sir : —A number of your democratic republican
fellow-citizens of this day being desirous to ex
press their estimation of your character mid pub
lic services. on occasion of your etirement from
the high office which you have filled for the last
eight years, with so much honor to yourself, and
w ith such signal advantage to our common coun
try, and also to manifest to you their honest and
sincere conviction, thatduriug your administration
you have conducted its affairs with the noble view
ofrestoiing the Government to pure constitutional
principles, and w ith unceasing care, and an unerr
ing eye to the public good, beg your acceptance of
the Phaeton Ii rewith presented.
Tlie undersigned are sensible that their present
possesses no value than that of having been made
out of the timber w hich originally formed part of
the frigate Constitution—a ship which more than
any otherin our navy, has contributed, by her gal
lantvictories in the late war, to impart lustre to
the A mei ican name and character : and it ap- I
peared fitting that this noble ship which had so
often borne in triumph the flag of our country,
should be appropriated to theseivice of the distin
guished individual who in war gloriously assscr
ted end in peace has firmly maintained and defend
ed, the rights of the nation to which she belong-

Washington City F eb. 2’2, 1337.
Gentlemen : Your address just delivered, in
behalf of a number of my democratic republican
■ fellow citizens of the City of N. York, present
; ing tome the Pheaton made of the timber which
, formed part of the U - States frigate Constitution,
t lias been received with feelings of the deepest
' sense of gratitude; and let me assure you, that all
, the associations w’liich attach to this mark of affec
tionate regard, conspire to render it peculiarly ac
ceptable.
Coming, as it docs, from the republicans of the
great emporium ofour rising nation—a city which
has so often welcomed, honored and contributed
to support me, as one w hom it was pleated tocon
| sidet among Ihe country’s defenders—hearing
I within it ihe live oak of ‘ Old Ironsides, of which
I it is composed, recollections of the glorious bat
) ties, and the storms which that gallant vessel rode
i out in triumph, while carrying abroad over the
great deep, the constellation of republican stars,
which she never struck to an enemy—-and bring
ing to mind the hcreic men now no more, who
have shed their blood on her decks, in the cause
of their country, and consecrated in immortal an
nalstho fame of our infant Republic—l should be
wanting to the high tone you ascribe to my cliar
actcr, if I were not proud of the noble trophy.
I appreciate fully tho value of the gift in the
motives of ihe givers, and rejoice in the thought
that, if the broken ribs of the renowned vessel
wliirh once bore our gallant tars to viclory, are
no v destined to bear tho wreck of an older soldier
, to his repose, it lias been my good fortune to give
new and stout timbers to the ship, as the renovated
Constitution, which I hope may conduct, under
her fortunate name and destiny, other navel he
rocs to future triumphs'
■ From the.great-skill of the. builder, ami high cost

has been wrought, it must have been the finer.t
specimen of this species of mantifacture which onr
country lias furnished. As such I will take care
that it shall he preserved, to gratify the curiosity
of those who may come alter ns, and who may
look at it as a sample ofthe fashion ol’ the times ;
or. with higher feelings, consider it as a memento
ofthe great civic triumph, to grace which shall be
tin - first use in which it w ill be employed, or as -a
relic of the naval victories, through which those
once borne by it, gave renow n to the flag of our
country.

4’ e ought by no means to omit the expression
ol our acknowledgments to the editor ol the New
erk American, for the display of the names, and
iu capital types too, ofthe senators who voted, in
1834, fur the resolution of unjust am! uncoiistitu
tional impeachment of the President of the United
States. They are as follows;
8188, PORTER,
BLACK, PRENTIS,
CALHOUN, PRESTON,
CLAY. ROBBINS,
(’LAYTON, SILSBEE,
EWING, SMITH.
FRELINGIIUYSEN, SOUTH MID,
KENT, SPRAGUE,
KNIGHT, SWIFT,
LEIGH, THOMLINSON
MANGUM, TYLER,
N VUDAIN. WAGG.VIAN;
POINDEXTER, WEBSTER,
We surround them with black lines, not only to
the spirit tvith which their act of impeachment was
proposed to be surrounded by the senators from
Missouri, bip in compliance with the resolution by
which this deed of party malice has been expunged
by the Senate, and especially in compliance with
the blacklines, which the people, through the bal
lot boxes and the State Legislatures, have drawn
around the senators who are thus heralded as hav
ing voted for the original resolution.
The most striking comment upon the actof con
demnation, and the illustration of the pervading
sentiment of the people of this country in relation
to it, is the fact, that of the twenty-six senators who
voted for Mr. Clay's resolution, ELEVEN have
been driven into retreatment, and the places of
TEN of them have been supplied by friends ofthe
administration. The following are the names of
the “ Black Knights,” in whose places Senators
have been chosen friendly to the Executive, and in
condemnation of the resolution of impeachment,
viz ; Frelinghuysen. Ewing, Leigh. Mangum.
Poindexter, Porter, Smith, Sprague, Tyler, and
IFaggaman.
With the strong approval, by the. people, of the
executive measures, for which Gen. Jackson was
condemned, unheard, and regardlcs of reason aad
justice, by the partisan senators—with tho tri
umphant election over the combined forces and
sectional candidates of the opposition, of a suc
cessor, avowing a decided concurrence in these
measures—aad with the election, by the people
and the state legislatures, at the first moment with ■
in their constitutional power, of the impeaching
senators, in sufficient numbers to reverse or ex
punge their disgraceful act of condemnation :
with such potency of facts aud results before him,
let the American citizen judge who are the “ Black
Knicuts.” — Albany Argus.
A New Belief. — An Irishman, nearly three sheets
in the wind, was asked of what belief he was. He
replied, “go to the widow I owe her
twelve shillings.—lt is her belief that I never will
pay her, ami faith that's my belief."
“ What's the matter with your eye ?” said a
gentleman, the other day, to an honest emigrant,
who looked as if he had been playing at fisty
cuff’s.
“ Och. it has been put out, knocked out, an
uilriliated. expunged."
“How can that be?” replied the other, “ can't
you see with it ?”
“ Oh yes, 1 can see with it; but for all that it is
expunged. Don t you see the black lines arouud

A Long Reason.— The Portlander says that the
reason why the Vermont and New Hampshire
boys are so tall, is because they are in the habit of
drawing themselves up so as to peep over the
mountains to see the sun rise. It is dreadful
stretching work.

PRESENTMENTS
Ofthe Grand Jury of Forsyth Superior Conrt,
tebruary Term 1837.
Tho Grand Jurors sworn, chosen and selected
for the county of Forsyth, after tendering their
thanks to his honoi judge Kenan for his attention
and courtesy to this body, and making their ac
knowledgements to the Solicitor General for his
energy and promptitude as a prosecuting officer,
congratulate their countrymen on the very few
applications fol bills of Indictment during the pre
sent term, and the moral aspect of our county,
new ly settled, cannot be surpassed for the peace
and good order of its citizens. We present as
a grievance the bad state of the public roads lead
ing through the various sections of our c ounty
and more particularly the road leading from Cum
ming to Marietta, and request that the Inferior
court of our county be more vigilant in compel
ling the commissioners of roads to a* prompt and
faithful discharge of their duty, in keening our
roads in good order. We have not time to go in
to a thotoughinvestigation ofthe state ofthecoun
ty funds, but from the best iufoamation we have
been able to collect, we are induced to believe
they have not been propeiqy conducted. We
therefore appoint a committee composed of mem
bers of this body to consist of three persons, to wit:
Beverly Allen, Cullen Davis, AlmanG. Hutchins,
whose duty it shall be examine the Estray Book,
the Records of the Inferior court, the books and
vouchers of the trustee of the poor school fund and
county treasurer ; and make a report of such ex
amination to the Inferior court of the county by
the first of J one, and recommend that said com
mittee be allowed a reasonable compensation by
the Inferior court, for said services, and have the
liberty of appointing a clerk to their body if deem
ed necessary, to be paid for his services as before
requested. We present as grievance, the course
pursued by our last Legislature, iu increasing the
pay of its members instead vfdiminisbing the un
wieldy numbers ofthe members ol its bodies. Wo
have noticed with deep regret, the appointment of
William N. Bishop, to the office of Teller of the
Central Bank ofour State—a man notorious from
character, as a common disturber of the public
peace, destitute of those principles w’hich shoul
actuate a high-minded and honorable man, devoid
of those qualifications necessary to the discharge
of so responsible a trust.
We request tliatthese our presentments be pub
lished in the Southern Whig and Standard of
Union.
