WHITE SULPHUR
SPRINGS.
Meriwether County, Ga.
T HIS delightful Wetering Piece is now open for the
season, under the most flattering auspices. Having
now, beyond oil question, and by the united testimony of
the hundred* who have tested tho virtues of the White
Sulphur, secured for the establishment a degree of confi
dence aed favor unparalled in the history of any other wa
tering plaeo so recently ofTercd to the public patronage.—
The proprietor has been encouraged to make considerable
improvements since the last season, upon the buildings and
pleasure grounds attached to the place. He hat also erect
ed a commodious and comfortable BATHING HOUSE.
He has engaged the services of Mrs. Thornton, foiraerly
of Gainesville, so that no inducement shall bo wanting to se
cure the patronage ol the public.
To the stranger, who has never tested tha virtues of the
crystal fountains and balmy atmosphere of this plMsaut
reginn.it is only necessary to say that these Springs are
located in the midst of the most delightful and healthy re-
gion'of our Stale, a few miles north of the Pine Mountain,
and only nine miles southeast of Greenville, through which
place a dnily lin" of stages, connecting with the principal
lines of the Union, is now in operation
The Proprietor flatters himself that his Is tbo only es
tablishment in the whole South, where the visiter cau bo
accommodated with an eqaai variety of waters. Hero we
have the pureit freestone fountains, the strong and the mild
chalybente, and the white sulphur, -.urpassmg in parity,
ami in the. distribution of its elements, any hitherto known.
But besides this, we have a country nbouudiug in scenery
romantic and beautiful, and are surrounded by a population
unsurpassed for intelligence and moral worth, by that ot
any ot her farming district in the 8tate. From these advan
tages wo may safely expect to draw all that tnay be re
quired to gratify the intellectual, moral or physical appe
tites of our visitors; and neither expense, solicitude, nor
effort on the part of the Proprietor, shall be wanting to
rendor this Watering Place as popular for Its accommoda-
tlobs as it already is unrivalled for the gifts of a beneficent
Providence. .
[QP A line of Stages will be run tltreo times a week,
from Columbus, vis Hamilton, to While Sulphur Springs.
The Ball Room will be opened every evening, and will
be provided with tbo very best music the country affords.
N. B. The Proprietor will add, that whilst striving to
satisfy visitors in bis minerals and attention, he will also
try to satisfy them in charges. DUNCAN.

It is not.saying too nrarh of these books, that they are the

A knowledge ofthe merits of these booku will insure their

is an indication of a progression in education. These valu

Of the very many recommendations, we have received we
present the Inflowing from Rev. Mr. Bemi.n:
Sill:—Having with care examined the "new series of
readers for schools,” published by Messrs Grigg & Elliott,
without hesitation. I give it as my opinion that they are ex
cellent books, well adapted to the purposes for which they
are designed and as a whole decidedly superior to any
thing of the kind I have seen.
I have also examined Dr. Rusohenbergsr's “First Book

Indian Springs, Butts Co
THE Subscriber,Proprietorcf the Indian Spring Hotel,
for the last two years, would most respectfully inform his
friends and patrons of this State, of South Carolina, Ala
bama and its vicinities, that he has at a great expense,
•reeled a splendid HOTEL under the above name,
for the ample accommodation of visitors during the ap
proaching season.
This House will be opened on the 20th day of May next.
The Mclutosh House is in depth 250 feet by 43 wide—
emtsias between seventy and eighty large and airy rooms,
teetber with three spacioos Drawing Rooms and a splen-
dU Ball Room; largo and wide Piazzas extending around
the Hotel—making it what has so long been desired at this
Sfiing—one of the largest and most commodious Hotels
evrr e reeled at any watering place io the Southern country.
During the last two seasons there has been much com-
pltint for want ot more accommodations for the hundreds
ib«t daily flock to this well known and justly celebrated
wrtering place.
Tlii* season there shall be no reason of complaint for
want of accommodations, or indeed any tiling connected
wi:h this establishment.
The Mcluosh House will accommodate over four hun
dred persons I
• Neither pains or expense have been spared in furnishing
and fining up this House so as to render it truly a house
for all who may favor it with their patronage. The furni
ture is all new and of the m<»t sterling kind, having been
made up to order for this establishment-
The location of the McIntosh House is on the brow of
the McIntosh Hill, overlooking the Spring, for many years
the residence of the celebrated Col. McIntosh of the Creek
nation, so well known and associated in the Indian history
of oar country.
The Subscriber, therefore, flatters himself that in order,
comfort, and systematic arrangement, the McIntosh House
shall not be surpassed; and hopes from bis continued ex
ertions to please, he may secure a share of the public pat
ronage. BRYAN W. COLLIER.

The following message was received from
the President of the United States, which was
rend:
To the Senate of the United States:
I communicate herewith a report from the
Secretary of War, transmitting the correspon
dence called for by the resolution of the Senate
ofthe 5th inst., with Gen. Edmund P. Gaines
and Gen. Winfcld Scott of the army of the
United States.
The report of the Secretary of War, and the
accompanying correspondence with General
Gaines, contain all the information in my pos
session in relation to calls for “ volunteers or
militia into the service of the United States”
“by any officer of tbe army,” without legal “au-
thority therefor,” and of the: ‘'measures which
have been adopted” “‘in relation to such officer
or troops so culled into service.”
• ftrndduioii to the information contained hi
, the report of the Secretary of War, nnd the
accompanying correspondence wilh “ Major
General Scott of the United States army, upon
the subject of his taking the command of the
army of occupation on the frontier of Texas”
I state, that on the same day on which l ap
proved and signed the act of the 13th of May,
1846, entitled ‘‘An act providing for the prose
cution of the existing war beiween Ihe United
States and the republic of Mexico,” I commu
nicated to General Scott, through ihe Secre
tary of War, and also in a personal interview
with that officer, my desire that he should take
command of the army on the Rio Grande, and
of the volunteer forces, which I informed him,
it was my intention forthwith to call out to
that frontier, to be employed in the prosecution
of the war against Mexico. The tender ofthe
command to General Scott was voluntary on
my part, and was made without any request or
intimation on the subject from him. It was
made in consideration of his rank as comman
der-in-chief of the army. My communications
with General Scott assigning him the command
were verbal, first through the Secretary of War,
and afterwards in person. No written order
was deemed to be necessary. General Scott
assented to assume the command, and on the
following day I had another interview with him
and the Secretary of War, in relation to tbe
number and apportionment ambus the several
States, ofthe volunteer forces to be called out
for immediate .service; the forces which were
to be organized and held in readiness subject to
a future call should it become necessary ; and

be made wilh a view to the vigorous prosecu
tion of the war. It was distinctly settled and
was well understood by General Scott, that he
was to command the ariny in the war against
Mexico, and so continued to be settled anil un-
derstood, without any other intention on my
part, until the Secretary of War submitted to
me Ihe letter of Geo. Sroit ndAressed to-him
under date of the 21st of May, i846, a copy of
which is herewith communicated. ’The char
acter of that letter, made it proper in my judg
ment to change my determination in regard to
the command of the army; and the Secretary
of War by my direction, in his letter of the
25th of May, 1846» a copy of which is also
herewith communicated, for the reasons there
in assigned, informed General Scott that lie
was relieved from the command of the army,
destined to prosecute tho war against Mexico,
and that he would remain in the discharge of
iiis duties at Washington. The command of
the army on the frontier of Mexico has since
been assigned to General Taylor with his brevet
rank of major-general, recently conferred iipon
him. JAMES K. POLK.
Washington, June 8,1846.
[We insert that portion ofthe correspondence
relating to General Winfield Scott, which is ns
follows:]
War Department, June 8,1846.
Sib : In compliance with your direction, I
have the honor to transmit herewith such let
ters and documents us are in this department,
to enable you to answer the resolution cf the
Senate of the 5th instant, requesting informa
tion. First, in relation to unauthorized callsof
volunteers and militia into the service of the
United S ales by any officers of the army, &c.
Second, the correspondence between the Secre
tary of War and Major General Scott, on the
subject of his taking the command of the army
of occupation on the frontiers of Texas, See.
And third, the correspondence between Gene
ral Gaines and the government, from the 1st of
June, 1845, to the present time, upon the sub
ject of volunteers or militia ordered to the fron
tiers of Texas,
The information requested in the first and
last branches of the resolution, is mainly fur
nished by the correspondence herewith submit^
ted between this department and General
Gaines, who is tho only officer of «ho army
known to have oalled for volunteers or m litia
without legal authority within the periods spe
cified. The fust unauthorized call by that offi-
cei was made on the governor of Louisiana on
the 15th of August, 1845, for two companies of
volunteer artillery, (about 200 men,) which
were musteieJ’into service on the 21st of that
month, and imm p diately sent to Texas, to re
port to General Taylor at Corpus Christi. As
soon as information of this call was made
known to the department, General Gaines was
reminded, in a communication addressed to hjm
that authority Io make such calls was vosted
only In the President) and that ‘‘the emergency
which would tolerate or excuse the assumption
of this authority by a military officer in com
mand at a distance from the scat of government,
in anticipatioq^f the President's action must
be one indicating great and imminent peril to
the country—a peril so grrat and so imminent
ns to leave no reasonable doubt that the I rt si-
dent, with a full knowledge of all the circum
stances of the case, would have felt it to he his
duty to resort to such aid.” As the call had
been promptly responded to, and the troops
sent to their destination before the action of i
Gen. Gaines could be stayed, Gen. Taylor ;
was directed to receive and retain them in ser- !
vice, as loug ns, in his judgment, the public ex ;
igency might require, although, by your dircc- I
tiop, Gen. Gaines was informed that his proceo- j
ting was not approved by you. These vol
unteers were discharged and sent home on the
expiration of their three monlhs’ term of service. >
No further calls appear to have been mads ;
by Gen. Gaines for volunteers or militia, until
early in May of tho present year, when uiiau- j
tbnrized request, or requisition* in various 'j
forms and of ditTeient import, were made by ;
him for a volunteer fotce, Nome to be in reaJt- i
ness, and others for immediate entrance into
service, the amount of which is not yet known
al this department,,but, as fur as ascertained,,
is embraced in a statement which is among the
■documents herewith furnished.
It is also understood, that he lms taken meas
ures to organize troops independent of his calls
upon States-through the respective governors;:
and the accompanying documents show that lie
hud appointed various staff officers, without iu--
structions or legal authority. As soon as infor-t-
mation was leceived of loose proceedings,,
prompt measures were taken to counteract
them, and to arrest this coucse of independent-
action. A portion of tiiose thus called into ser
vice by requisitions upon tho governors of Al
abama, Mississippi,, and Missouri, having
promptly responded to the same, the governors-
of those States were informed: that these culls
upon them had been recognised “ to the extent'
of the numbers furnished and sent to Texas."
To this extent, and no further, has the conduct
of Gcnci’al Gaines, in making requisitions call
ing into service ahd organizing troops, been,
recognised, and. all beyond has been distinctly
disapproved.
By your direction orders have been issued!
relieving him from the command of the westerm
division and requiring him to repair to this city-
The correspondence called for by I lie secondi
branch of the resolution accompanies this com
munication. In .relation to that part of it which'
asks for information “ whether any order was-
at any time given by the President or Secre
tary of War to Gen. Scott to proceed to tho
Rio Giande, or to take command of the army,”
Sic., I have to state that,, about the lime the
law recognising the existence of a war between 1
the United States and Mexico, and authorizing i
the raising a volunteer force of 50,G00 men
was passed, I had a conversation with Major"
General Scott, and, by your direction, informed
him that you intended lo put the army, design
ed to operate against Mexico, under his imme
diate command, and invited him, as you reques-
ted me to do, to call on you for the purpose of
receiving your views and instructions. An in
terview between yourself and -him, at which I
was present, shortly after look place, when you;
announced to him your determination to assign-
him to the comipand of the army in the war
against Mexico. The order and instructions
tQ him were verbal, and I am not aware that
they have been reiterated in writing. He im
mediately Entered upon the necessary arrange
ments to carry into effect your views and in
structions. and, down to the present time, has
been assiduously engaged in the duties of ?;»»
officn; Interviews Consultations between'
him and myself, ofien at my particular instance,-
have very frequently taken place in regard le'
arrangements and preparations for carrying on-
the war. "When 1 first communicated to him'
your intention to place him in the command cf
the army, he replied, that he should neither de
cline nor solicit that service; but at once on
receiving your verbal order, entered readily
into Hie piepainioiy rucasu,«.» -•«• ....y nl....
into effect. I am not aware that he claimed'
“that command as due him from his rank in the
army” or expressed any wish to he assigned to 1
it, until his preference was intimated in his let
ter of the 25th ultimo, in reply to mine of the
same date, and his claim set forth in that of the
27th, both which are aiming the papers here
with submitted. His wishes in this respect
haYe not been made known to me, further than
they are expressed in these two letters. I had
no intimation whatever that you intended to
change, or thought of reconsidering the orders
to General Scott, Committing to him the com
mand of the army to operate against Mexico,
until I had submitted to you his letter to mo of
the 21st ultimo. After your examination of
that letter I received your direction, changing
your previous orders, and Communicated it to'
him in my letter ofthe 25th of May.
I have the honor to be, with great respect',-
your obedient servant,
W. L. MARCY.
To the ^RESIDENT!
Headquarters of the Army, V
Washington, May 21, 1846. )
Sin i I have received no orders, as yet, as
signing me to the immediate command of ihe
army about to be raised to conquer a peace
within Mexico} but 1 have been told to hold
myself in readiness for that service. From that
moment I have occupied myself, incessantly,
with the vast preliminary arrangements which
can only lie made advantageously at this place,
through the respective chiefs of the general
staff—the adjutant general, quartermaster geiK
eral, commissaiy general of subsistence, Chief
of ordnance, and surgeon general.. 1 have,
been much occupied also in the distribution of
the quotas of volunteers needed among the sev
eral States; in apportioning the horse to the
foot; in the^sludy of the routes cf march and
water conveyances for the several bodies of
troops to the best points in the frontiei’s of Mex
ico; in the study of the northern interior, and
tne southern routes of that republic; in look,
ing lo the means of transportation on the Rio
Grande, to and beyond that river, in determi
ning the ridfBts of supplies of all sorts on this
side, &ci, &c.
As these matters ate tcspectively settled, or-
dersand instructions have been, or will be giv
en, to the chicls pf ihe general staff at this
place, and the rouies of march and water cou-
veyanoes, together with the depots for supplies
of description, are finally to be comhiumcated
to the unknown commanders of volunteers
whose services are to be accepted.
In the midst of these multitudinous and in
dispensable occupations I have learned from
you that much impatience is already felt, per
haps in high quarters, that I have not already
put myself-in route for tbe Rio Grands; and
now, with fourteen hours a day of preliminary
work remaining on my hands for many days, I
find myself compelled tp stop that necessary
work to guard myself against, perhaps, utter
condemnation in the quarters alluded to. I am
too old a soldier, apd have had too much spe
cial experience, not to feel the infinite impor
tance of securing .myself against danger (ill will
or pre-'coildemmitioii) in my rear before advan
cing upon the public enemy-
Not an advantageous s'ep c.m be tar.cn in ,i
forward march without the confidence that al!
is well behind. If insecure in thiit quarter, no
genera! can put his whole heart and rniud into
tho work to be done in fio.it. 1 am, tbeieioie,
not a little alarmed, nay crippled in niv . nei

question, and I beg to say 1 four no e.h.-r tiku
