FROM TUB THEATRE OF WAR
Hr pulse of the, Russians.
From Widin, the Turks have
made an inclusion into Walla
chia, and the Russian General
Geismar has l)een driven back
wards from Crajova to Nlatina.
He made several attempts to
rally his retreating legions, but
they could not withstand the
impetuous charge of 23,000
Turkish horsemen. He lost
6000 men, 40 pieces of can
non, all his magazines & 6,000
head of horn cattle. These e
vents took place on the lntli,
19th and 20th of August. ‘I lie
Ticks attacked, for the first
time, a square of Russian in*
fantry, and penetrated it.
Chunda Varna are still in
the hands of 4 their legitimate
masters, $ the ambitious Rus
sians shrinks from the attempt
to force the passes of the Hal
kan. tfrotn Chunda the Turks
have made a successful sally,
and made themselves masters
of the redoubts which the Rus
sians ueie kind enough to con
struct for them. Amongst the
Russians killed is Gen. Wrede.
On the 2d Sept, the Czar left
Odosa for Varna, which place
lie intends to take hv storm on
the moment of arrival. AOer
which he returns to St. Peters
htt!g to pass the winter, U av
ii a his armies to enjoy them
(ves in Turkey ns well as
t! < v can. ‘Their situation is far
fr cotufoi table. Defeated at
C lU’nla and ai Varna, worsted
at Rozarrie and feilistria, repul
*ed at Widin and at falafat,
cheeked along their w’‘ole line
of operations, they are to take
tip their winter quarters in the
enemy’s country, under very
dLadvantageouscirconistances.
Kven if thev succeed in storm
ing Varna, their TeDeum will

‘flic Sultan has sent a superb
nword and an autograph let
ter of thanks to Hussein Pa
cha, in approbation of his mas
terly generalship.
‘The Captain Pacha who de
fends Varna, and whose cou
rage and firmness arc admired
even by his enemies, has vow
ed that the Russians slid! not
hud one stone upon another
when they take possession of
that place. j
A report was circulated up
on Change at Frankfort, that
the Russians had met with a
great check at Schounda, and
that they had lost 30.009 men.
—This report obtained much
credit and the Russian funds
fell considerably. — Jou. Debats.

MORE IVDfVV MURDERS. ]
*Cantonment Towson, Sept. 8. 1828.
Sir —On the 3 1st of August, six
sol fliers of this command had a‘pass*
to go to the Kiamerh, for the purpose
of fishing. Corporal Thomas Gloyd
j and musician Glenn, preceded the
party about 50 yards. At the dis
tance of six miles from the ’post, those
who were in the rear, heard the re
j port of a gun, accompanied with an
Indian yell, and also the exclamation
*()h God, lam killed!’ Knowing that
neither Gloyd nor Glenn, had a gun.
their followers were (onvinred that
they were attacked by enemies, but
an intervening knoll screened them
from their sight. They immediately
teturned to Garrison, and on a report
|of the facts, a command of 50 men
was ordered out by Major Birch un
der Lieut. Casey. They returned
with the corpses of Gloyd and Glenn.
! —The body of the former was marked
with a hall, and many arrows, that of
the latter by arrows only. The a-
Iftn.i was immediately given to the
citizens, and friendly Indians encamp
e-d in the neighborhood of the Garri
son; and an the following morning,
a party of about 40 r.rmed men, con
sisting of citizens and friendly Indi
ans, and a detachment from this Post,
pursued the oneiny, and on the 4th
day returned with the ecalps of the
soldiers killed, and those of three In
dians, also with the bows and equip
ments of fifteen.— They found the In
dians encamped about 80 miles from
the Garrison, near the Blue water ri
ver. They rushed upon them sudden
ly, while they were darn ing around
the scalps of Gluyd ami Glenn. They
were near a thi ket, through which
some escaped, but it is believed not
many without mortal wounds. They
were Pawnees. The only one of the
opposite party who was injured; was
JVi-coming, a Delaware Chief, who
rec* ived .n arrow wound in his
thigh. He i now doing well. The
reduced number of regular s Idiom
at this Post, rend’ red it impossi
ible to furnish a large detachment.
Aod much credit is due to the citi
zens, f>*r the readiness with which
‘hey volunteered their sert ices; and
also to Mr \ldrtch, the Suttler, who
roue the wtede night to muster them.’
We understand, that an official re
presentation of the facts relative to
•be foregoing outrage, has been made
to the Governor, and that he immedi
ately, issued a General Order to the
Colonel ranimanding the militia of
Miller county, requiring him to have
his forces in readiness to co-operate
with the United States troops at Can
tonment Tow son, at a moment’s
warning, in case a repetition of the
aggression should be attempted by the
Indians. An order was likewise for
warded to the commanding Officer of
I the Militia of Hempstead county, re
quiring him to have the militia of his
county iu teadiness, in case their ser
vices should he required.

The Message.
In our last we incidentally noticed this
interesting State Paper. It is a gem of
pure water, but too large for our little
( abinet: we have therefore broken it
into parts, but we hope enough of its briF
liancy has been preserved to attract at
tention. >
After congratulating our Legislature so&
the many blessings which an indulgent
Providence has bestowed upon us as a
State, bis Excellency informs us, ‘that the
lice of demarcation between this State and
Florida has nut been traced. The discu3-
siua of the subject in the Senate of the L T .
States was postponed until it could be as-
cei tained whether or not an agreement al
leged to have been made by Andrew Eiii
cott and the Spanish commissioner, ap.
pointed to run and maik the line, was a
inong the archives of the Spanish govern
ment-’ The existence ol thi* document is
said to be matter of surmise, and can/ ot
even if produced, throw any additional
lighi on the controversy. In the House <f
Repies** itatives the commrfee adopted a
con. lotion adverse to tht claims of the
State, but which remains to be disposed >f
at the ensui-ig se9S on of Congress. The
deci-ion of that body, however, if not ap
proved by the State will not be consider
ed obligatory.
The act of this State in relation to the
bnunda.y line between her and
has been protested t>y the latter. Notwith
standing * hi**, we flatter ourselves that the.
controversy in relation to each wil’ speed
ily terminate, and that the claims of Geor,
gia wi l be duly recognized.
As regards the Chetokee Lands, a mea
sure < quaily just and Überal in its opera
tion. is j> up *ed. Hi* Excellency reoom
n. ids the extension of all the laws of the
State over the territory lying within our.
limits—“ The I dmns to be subject as oth-
er person* to the operation of those laws;
to secure to the 1 urban*. immediately, the
enjoyment of aM civil lights; to grant to
eacti Indian family now imng in the State,
while they continue io it. a sufficient bo
dy ot iai-ri to* their comfortable support,
looking to the gene al government under
I the compart ot 1802 for the value of the
i I;:n > Ihur srianted, aud for all the expen
-1 ■ ‘ tu t may bfi incurred by the State in
uie * ouiion o’ 1 h promised enactments.
As an evidence ot r e , *p**-ctful Reference to
<be United States, anil of our determina
tion to treat with tendrness the Chero
kees wh .se fate is to be e'fected by thpse
regulations, l recommend that the opera
tion of the act he prospective—not to take
etl'ect until the President of the CJ. States
shall have ample tune to ascertain wheth.
er the Cherokee* choose to remove for a
just equivalent, nr to remain aod to submit
them-elves to the authority of the State
govt ament. V>u will find in the con
tiact uadt by the President of the United
St;t<es and the Arkmsas Cherokees, here
with submitted, a motive for this delay.”
> he policy here is just and
benevolent. The mot fastidious moralist
or corset-bound Utopian, cannot object to
r, either on the score of equity or human
ity. Ihe rights of each party are fully
recognized; if any be conceded, they are
ours.
Since the extinguishment of the Creek
title some depredations have been com
muted in Lee county by parties of that
tiihe. Ihe United States are bound to
indemnify the looses sustained. Enema'h
meut-i have also been made, near the Chat
tahoochee, by one of the same tribe in the
erection of extensive, works, the execu
tion of which has been forbidden by the
Executive as inconsistent with the rights
of the btale. °
tor the purpose of limiting within con*
bounds our acts of” legislation
as the) stand in rcl irion to the dicretion
aiy power *f Congress, his Excellency
advises a repeal .f the *ci of l f !08, ced
ing to the Federal government jurisdic
tion over all places which may be there
of r acquire , by the U. ‘'tales for the pui.
pose of er< cing forts or fortifications, &c.
His Excehency ip averse to an abandon
ment of the Penitentiary System. The
partial failure of the institution he attrib
i utes 10 St *veral causes—the most promin
ent of which, he thinks, i the insufficien
cy ol the buildings proposed for thepur
p°se. He urges the serious attention of
the Legislature to this subject; and also,
as lu'imati ly connected therewith, a bet
ter organization of onr Penal Code, which,
proves to very defective.
An entire revision of our Svstem of In
ternal Improvement is likewise recom
mended. £271,000 have been appropria
ted and partially expended-on the naviga
ble waters of the State. Under the exist*
