The following excellent resolutions Were adop

ta' Hr solved, That a direct trade is the natural
liaiinel of communication betweeii nations, which
rt rto each other the best market lor their natu
ral inductions; and that the intervention of a
third party must opeaate as a tax upon the exchan
ges between them. , „ ,
S •> Resolved, That the Southern and Southwes
tern States of tins union afford those staples with
which are purchased nearly the whole foreign tin
norts of the country ; that they are the consumers
a laree portion of these imports, and ought nat
urally themselves to furnish the channel through
winch the exchange is made; that on no occasion
have their citizens been found incapable of main
tainin' themselves in fair competition with other
sections; and that the diversion of their trade
from its natural channels, must have been brought
about by the unequal action of the Federal Govern
ment, or by the abstraction of our people towards
ofJiJf pUi'SUltSiv i , n
3 Resolved, That in the opinion of this Con
vention such a stateof things should no longer con
tirme . that the present condition of the commer
cial relations of the country, and the disruption of
the existing channels of trade, afford an opportu
nity of breaking down the trammels which have
sulon • fetterd our commerce, and of restoring to
the S Titb its natural advantages ; and that it is in
cumbent upon every man, who has at heart the
good of bis country, to lend his best exertions to
the promotion of these subjects and to establish
car trade upon a sound and permanent basis.
1. Resolved, That this Convention is fully aware
of the difficulties to be overcome in the prosecu
t on of their enterprise; but nothing daunted there
by. and fully relying upon the public spirit and
and zealous co-o’poratiou of their fellow-citizens,
tiiev are determined to advance with untiring per
severance; and with that view, do earnestly re
commend' the adoption of the following ineas
uros.
1. That an effort should be made to afford to the
importers and purchasers at Southern seaports,
the same facilities which are offered elsewhere;
,md with this view it is recommended that the
Hanks i.i the seaports should immediately apply a
portion of their respective capitals, to the pur
chase of foreign exchange, and to the procurement
of credits or funds in Europe; and that they
should afford the use of the same to the importing
merchant upon a discount or collateral pledge ol
such good pajver as he may take from the mer
chants of the interior, and that tins accomodation
be afforded as well upon paper having more than
six months to run, as upon that having less: and
that the Banks of the interior co-operate by col
jTtin" and remit'ing the proceeds to such paper
to the banks on the seacoast.
•>. That with a view to the important subject of
e [nali/.iitg the exchanges between S. Carolina and
Georgia, this Convention earnestly recommend to
the various Banks of the principle cities of the
t*(. States, or sr.ch as may be ceuveiiiently loca
tto receive the Bills of each other in their gen
eral business, and to adopt such arrangements for
settlements, at short periods, as they may deem
suitable and proper; the Banks against whom the
balance should fall, to furnish, funds for settling
the same, or to bay an interest of six per cent
from the period o; settlement, and that the Banks
in the cities arm towns of the Atlantic States,
make arrangemets by winch the notes of all ot
them shall be at par in each.
3. That the Merchants of the South and South-
West, be earnestly recommended to give prefer
ence to the importers in their own markets, and
that they afford them an apportunity of fair com
petion with other sections, by making their firs,
calls for purchases at Southern and South-Wes
tern seaports; and on the other hand, that
the Merchants at the sea ports shall, forth
with, sef importing such stocks of goods,
as will ensure, at fair rates, a supply to the demand
from the merchants of the interior.
4. That an earnest and united effort should he
made to draw home the capital invested by the
South in Banks and Companies abroad ; and to
employ the same, 'ogethcr with such surplus cap
ital as exists at home, in mercantile operations;
and that with this view men of influence and
character lie earnestly invited to afford the benefit
of their example, bv entering into Limited Part
nerships, under the laws lately passed by the
states of Virginia, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala
bama, Tennesse, and Florida.
5. That this Convention cannot but view with
deep regret, the neglect of all commercial pursuits
which lias hitherto prevailed among the youth of
our country, aa 1 w.licit has necessarily thrown its
most important interests into the hands ot those
who by feeling and habit are led into commercial
connexion elsewhere. This Convention, there
fore, cannot too earnestly recommend the speedy
adoption hv all their fellow citizens of measures
to introduce commercial education among our
youth; to train them up to habits of business, and
thereby to establish a body of merchants whose
every interest and feeling shall be centerred in the
country which has reared and sustained them.
5. Resolved, That this convention is of opinion
that the establishment by manufacturers in foreign
countries of agencies in the chief southern ports,
•or the sale of the various articles exported by
them to the United States, would conduce to the
restoration of the direct foreign trade of the
south. _
6. Resolved, That a committe of sbe appointed
to prepare an address to the people of the South
ern and South Western states, urging upon them
the expediency of giving their hearty co-opera
tion, the accomplishment of the great object of
•his convention.
7. Resolved, That when this Convention ad
journs, shall adjourn to meet at Augusta on the
third Monday in October next, and that a com
mittee of correspondence be appointed, whose
duty it shall be to take the proper measures to
enlist the feelings of the people and secure a cor
dial co-operation on the part of the States inter
ested in the objects of this Convention and to se
cure a full representation from every part of those
states.
8. Resolved, That it is recommended to the
members of this convention, to assemble the citi
zens of thejr counties or districts and place be
fore them their proceedings, and urge upon them
the expediency of promoting the measures re
commended by this convention, and particularly
°f forming Limited Partnerships, under the laws
lately passed by the -southern states, as afore
said.

tner James Adams, Captain Chase, from Black
Creek, and through the Attention of Captian C.
we have received from a, correspondent the fol
lowing intelligence confirming rumors heretofore
prevailing.
"To the Editor of Out Georgian:
Black Creek., (E. F.) April 4, 1838.
I forward you a copy of Brig. Gen. Nelson’s
official report. You may rely upou the follow
ing as tacts. Gen. Jesup had arranged with the
chiefs of the camp, near Jupiter, to meet him in
council on the 20tii ult. but they failed to attend,
and from the driving in of ponies and other indi
cations, he believed they were preparing to fly to
the swamps.
The general determined that they should
not escape, and ordered Col. D. E. Twiggs of
the 2d dragoons to secure them. The colonel
arranged matters so admirably, that he succeeded
in taking every individual on the morning of the
21st.
There were upwards of 500 men, women, and
children; and among them over one hundred and
fifty warriors. In addition to these there were ta
ken 159 negroes, about forty of whom are capable
of bearing arms. So you perceive that Gen. J's
operation in the vicinity of Jupiter Inlet have re
sulted in securing upwards of GOO prisoners, and
silencing near 200 rifles.
General Jesup was, up to the 28th of March,
busily employed in disposing of his prisoners, as
he was anxious to push south, in order to join
Col. Bankhead, who was in full pursuit of Sam
Jones, and with some prospect of ovortaking him.
The General has admirably managed the whole
business. The force of the enemy is broken and
dispirited, and all hands agree that he has done
all that man could do, under the same circum
stances,”
Extract of a letter, dated
“Fort Jupiter, March 27,1838.
“I dare say you have heard of our late grab of
five hundred Indians, which, including negroes,
make upwards of GOO prisoners that the General
has shipped for the west since the Toch-batchee
affair, llalleckha.ljo, and several other warriors
have gone out to bring in some more of their peo
ple, and as this sub-chief is a young man, 1 believe
lie will be useful to us.

Sir: In obedience to your orders, I took up
the liue of march from my camp, left bank of the
Suwannee river, opposite Fort Fanning, on the
morning of the 14th instant for Dedman’s Bay.
On the morning of the 7th, after throughly scour
ing the intermediate country, and encountering
much water produced by tlie recent rains, 1 reach
ed the Steamuatcliee river, within six miles of the
bay, that stream inundating the country for a con
siderable extent. 1 deemed it improvident to pass
without further apparent necessity. J turned
down that stream for some two miles, when the
country became too soft and wet to pass further,
when I directed my course up, and as near that
stream as I could, by way of its sources to this
place, which 1 reached this morning, examining
critically every point calculate J to harbor the ene
my, without finding the least trace of one ma le
for months, except those six or eight who crossed
the Suwannee at Clay* landing in January last, and
committed those murders in Middle Florida which
have caused so much excitement.
I must here be permitted to say that I was not
aware ot the apprehended danger by the citizens
of that section, until 1 met you outlie Suwannee,
Ist of March, it is true that I discoveied in a
few days after the murders were committed, vh re
the Indians had crossed and re-crossed, and deem
ed pursuits except to their retreat, fruitless, and
1 will add that 1 do not believe that any of the
enemy have been west of the Suwannee this year,
unless there be a few now constantly on die coast.
However, whether 1 have or not discharged the
duty assigned me by Gen. Jesup, that of protec
ting the frontier, 1 feel conscious of having made
faithful efforts. It ir true that I might have es
tablished posts, garrisoned my iroops, and waited
the approach of the enemy, but I preferred to
meet him in Lis fastness, and destroy or capture
him when found. Although I have been unlucky
in profitable results, yet the accompanying mem
orandum. furnished’by my quarter-master, Maj
Rogers, will show the number of miles we have
marched, and it must be borne in mind that he
furnishes the marches and counter-marches of the
trains with the command, without Any regard to
the entailed duty of the command when with
trains, after leaving a bare guard for the day and
the command joining at night. Ihe various re
ports made from time to time will sustain the
memorandums, his account being lObO miles. If
wc add onlv one-fourth tor the scouts, which is
much too small, that part of my command im
mediately with my presence, since the 19tli De
cember, eighty-two days, have marched and coun
ter-marched 1350, or 16 miles per day, including
rest days; built two pickets, forts Baker and Jen
nings ; bridged Withlacooche, at tort ( lincli,
Wacassa river, and numerous other small streams,
opened roads, &c. all ol which show, I hope,
I have not been idle.
I have the honor of being, with very high con
sideration and respect, your oh t serv t,

CHARLESTON, April 9.
Bv the sclir. Empire, Capt. Southwick, arrived
yesterday from St. Augustine,-we received the
following information from the Office of the Iler-
Office of the Herald, £
St. Auuustine, April 6, y
Recent arrivals, from Jupiter l’iver intoiin us
that the 500 Indians encamped there, ‘ awaiting
the decision of die President,” have been captured,
by order of Gen. Jesup. A part ol them have
been sent to Key 6iscayna, (Cape Florida)—the
remainder have gone over land, to Tampa Bay.—
They are in all, 520 in number, men, women, and
children; among them 150 to 260 w-arriors.
A more recent arrival brings information that
Colonel Bankhead, with his command, after tra
versing some “ terrible ” swamps, came up with a
body of Indians, number not known, but supposed
to be Sam Jones’ gang, to whom a flag was sent;
but the Indians fired upon the flag. An attempt
was then made to surround the Indians but with
out success—they escaped. .
An express arrived here, a few days since, from
Micanopv, by which we learn that two men have
been killed and scalped in that vicinity. Ihe
name of one we understand, was Hogans we
have not learned the name of the other.

THE MIRROR
Will hereafter be published every FRIDAY

teration to suit the convenience of our patrons as
well as ourselves.
TIIE WEATHER.
Old Winter yields his dominion very reluctant
ly, although it is now past the middle of April,
the tr es are scarcely clothed, and we have had
repeated frosts which greatly retarded vegetation
and done considerable injury to the crops—the
small grain we fear lias suffered greatly from the
long drought we have had, as well as the back
wardness of the spring.
FIRE!
We regret to learn that a fire broke opt in the
town of Americas, IS muter county, on Thursday
morning, the 12th inst. which done considerable
injury, and but for the calmness of the morning,
and the favorable direction of t’*; breeze, the
principal part of the town must have been con
sumed. We understand the fire is supposed to
have been the work of an incendiary, and that
suspicion rests upon an individual who had threat
ened a day or two previous, to set fire to the hous
es which were destroyed.
MR. GR VNTLAND.
From the language t lield by the letter writers
from Washington and “the party” presses in rela
tion to this gentlemeu, we are inclined to think
they intend to make him "walk the plank," well be
it so. Seaton ought to have known, before he laid
himself under obligations to the jrirty "fir the
high office he fils," that a man of indep&rtdence
was, in consequence of that very tra'-in his char
acter, disqualijud to represent the views of those
to whom he had allied himself. He is but anew
recruit any how, and not so well accustomed to
the manoeuverings and evolutions necessary to
make a good Representative as liis colleague Col.
Towns, of the old Clark party, who can right a
houtfucc, withaii tlicease arid grace of afi old sol
dier on parade.
Wc opine however, that the “party” need put
themselves to but very lit le trouble in this mat
ter, as they will be relieved, we think from the un
pleasant task imposed on them for some years past
of keeping tlieir men to the track. The State
Rights party have some men in their eye to fdl that
place who have “houesty” enough not to eoinpro
mit the nation’s honor if they do not “yield” to eve
ry whim and caprice of a party. •• - . .. ,
For our single selves w e do not believe in send
ing Representatives to Congress in manacles and
holding them in fetters whilst they are there.
It is enough that they have not deceived their con
stituents in regard to their principles, and that
they adhere firmly to those leading doctrines which
unite the party, otherwise automatons would suit
us much better; someone could be employed for
a trifle to pull the string that would niake them
say aye or no, and a vast amount of money would
be saved the country.
“YELLOW BOYS.”
The Charlotte N. C. Journal, speakjiig of the
Brandi Mint established in that Slate, holds the
following language:
“We have the pleasure of announcing this week
that our Mint has commenced coining—there is
no mistake, for we have seen and handled "tho yel
low boys. The appearand- of very
neat, and much resembles the com issued hi 1834,
with the exception of a letter C under the head to
distinguish the coin ot the different branches.—
Wc hope all grumblers w ill be satisfied now.”
Your grumbling may be satisfied,.Mr. Journal,
because you have not only seen but. handled the
•‘yellow boys.” “Seeing is believing but feeling
is the naked truth.” Those ol us who have not
so much as seen the visage ot your “boys, nor
felt the exliilerating, satisfying influence of tueir
touch, have great cause, in these parts, w o assure
you, to "rumble. Our purses, from previous eon
sumption, have collapsed to the last stage ot the
disease, and unless we have relief from some of
your North Carolina "yellow bogs" or some other
boys, it will be a case—no mistake about tout.
DUELLING.
Oar readers will perceive, by reading the cor
respondence from Washington City \yhich will be
found in today’s paper, that Congress is aroitocd
to action on this subject. It appears they have
been awakened from tlieir slumbers by the recent
death of one of their body, Mr. Cilley, of Maine,
in a duel. Penalties are proposed, severe m tlieir
nature, amendments are offered and eloquent
speeches delivered, for the purpose of putting a
stop to this dangerous and destroying practice.
If, by its legislation, Congress can change the
feelings and opinions of the people, so that instead
of pointing the finger of scorn at a man and de
nouncing him as a coward and dastardly poltroon,
for refusing to accept a challenge or fight a duel,
they should laud liis manly virtues and noble ex
ample, and hurl the anathemas of dishonor ard
disgrace upon the head o' - him who should send
a challenge, they would have showered upon them
the prayers and benedictions of the present gen
eration, and the blessings of countfossmilhons yet
unborn. But, judging from their Resent course,
we do not think they will effect this desirable end.
Duelling, it is true is very unpopular, and ..a great
riiany contend agaiust it because it is so, and be
■czusc it lays open a Jiue field for a display of tal
ents, and oratorical pathos. But what >flbch will
this have, if, after its advocatesslu\ll have portray
ed in-its most glaring light and damning aspect,
the evil effects of this murderous practice, they.
turn ridit about aud say to the world that they
vould 'resent an insult, or accept a challenge for
tke purpose of giving satisfaction for one offered,
in spite of all law ? And at the same time use
menacin'' language, asserting that they needed no
law to protect them against .“pistols and dirks.”—
Wolook upon such conduct and language as, not
onlya disgrace to the actors, hut a mockery of -the
subject, and an insuit to our National Legislature.
They might stay there and pass, laws, and make
fine speeches from now till doomsday, without'’
doing-any good whatever, if they cherish such
feelings and use such language! •
If however, they are in earnest about tlie virat
• ter, and actually desire a reformation, let them,
pass such laws as will accomplish the object, and
be ihe first to show a willing obedience, and we
have but little doubt the honor of the country
will be promoted, and the whole race of mankind
infinitely better off.
It is high time the people should be up and do
ing in relation to this matter; their opinions and.
feelings need a radical change, let them reflect up
on the evils which arise from the practice, and
the consequences which flow from tlie encourage
ment that practice receives from their hands, and
devise a remedy. ’ ,

OUTRAGE ON THE AMERICAN FLAG;
0;i board the steam ship Columbia. >
Ne>v Orleans, March 2G, 1838. $
Leaving Gqlveston on the morning of the 24th
inst. fur Velasco, we soon discovered two Mexi
can usse’s of war, one a brig under a press of
canvass making for us, the other a large, ship ly
ing at anchor. The latter soon cot under way and
joined the chase ; but after following us three
hours they both gave it up. Landing our passen
gers r.i Velasco, and taking on several others, we
stood on our course for N. O. and when about ten
miles from Velasco we again discovered the same
vessels that gave us chase in the morning.
The brig shot across our starboard bow effectual
ly to intercept our flight if attempted. We kept
the national colors flying from the moment we
raised our anchor in the morning, also the private
signal of the Columbia at the main. On dividing,
in order to prevent our flight, at a little more than
musket shot distance, the brig hoisted the Mexi
can colors aud fired a gun loaded with grape and
ball, which passed within a short distance of us,
shortly after, another eun with grape and cannister,
which passed"close under our bow; the ship at the
same time hoisted her colors and being a very short
distance from us fired a ball which fell on our star
board side ; the brig again fired at us with grape
and cannister, evidently aiming at our colors,as one,
ofthe shrouds connecting them with the mast was
cut throU'di and the flag at the same time perfora
ted bv the bull. Although we were lying perfect
ly still, the engine being stopped, and within
forty or fifty yards ot the brig, these acts of vio
lence were'manifested. Captain Wright reeling
justlv indignant at such a greets outrage io his
country’s flag, demanded what they wanted of
him and why tbev continued to fire at hiin as lie
was entirely defenceless ? They replied,. We
want vour papers. Captain \V. rejoined, Come
and get them, and U-r-d d—n you, it you fire an
other shot at me. I'llblow.you to li- I. Inmiedi
atelv three muskets with buck and slug were fired
at him as he stood alone by the wheel house on
the forward deck. At that instant, the engineer
lot tli- steam partially escape, which from its
strange and extraordinary noise to these brave
Mexicans, a-msed one and all with a solitary ex
ception to fall upon their faces, apprehending (as
wemmposed) that Capt. W. intended to putin
execution the threat he uttered a few moments
previously . ..
Thus ended this encounter. Captain W riglu
proceeded on his way triumphantly without being*
searched. And we caunot let this opportunity
pass without awarding him that praise which is pe
culiarly his due, for the firm and manly stand he
took in sustaining the honor of his country, leav
ing him the proud and grateful reflection that he
would not. at the imminent hazard of his life suffer
a stain to be inflicted upon her star spangled ban
ner.
