r i'li-V hail gone out without the permission or Know l.:d :e of the commanding officer. Several -recent murdeifc have occurred, at various points „ t ] lC frontier, ami it is computed that about 30 irstins iiave fallen by the rifle, since Geueraf \ su ., relinquished the command of the army. *■' .t more than tiiree or font persons were killed f v Indians during the whole tune General Jesup v ;,, c ommand"of the army—a period of nearly *" iV" bans' have lately been seen about Tampa t’ t v 11 small parties Exertions were in vain rude to catch them. Capt. Fowler came in sight of them, and captured their ponies, clothes, &c. ta ,. v made out to escape with their rifles. General Taylor has returned to Tampa, from tv reconnoisance he made of the northern posts, and vicinity of the Okefenokec, and is now at tempt,to open uegociations with the I allahas sce Indians. And there is some prospect, as I ,m informid by the express who reached here j' st uiglit, ot making a tolerable grab, and of bringing the war to a close. In fact, the war must soon terminate of itself for “want of officers.” as General Taylor has lately reported to the Secre tary of War. It will scarcely be believed that iuiiior~d .Lieutenants have lately been in com mand of-two companies, and that a junior captain now commands the 6tli Infantry, and there is scare iV an officer per company. General Taylor can, with propriety complain of a want of sup i t-ft.rt at Washington ; and if the troops are idle it ~s owing to the absence of seven-eighths of the company, and the held officers, with the excep tion of one Lieutenant Colonel ilawes. This officer and Col. Gates, have been more active and performed more duty and meritorious services in the field, than all the other held officers united; vet we see certain persons Selected for “15revet Commissions” to a higher rank, who remained a boiit six mouths iu Florida, and performed but the ordinary duty expected from them. “Fair play is a jewel of inestimable value.” Ilad the officers been with their proper regi ments and companies in Florida, several hundred in,ui would have been sent to the Okefam kee a month ago, and given protection to the inhabi tants in tint quarter; and their presence would hive prevented the Indians from committing the recent murders near camp Pinckney. Col. Harvey has been actively engaged]for some weeks in preparing for ail expedition to the Su wannee, down the Wlthlgcooehee, the Ock-la-wa- Tia, dec. We are prepared hereto join him as he passes. On his return to Fort Hcileman, he will push an expedition South, up the St. Jylms to the Everglades. CTTEEOKEE INDIANS. The Western Georgian of July 31, on the au thority of the llaiqulfon Gazette, printed at Ross’ Landing, Tennessee, gives us the following infor mation respecting the emigration »f the Chero kee Indians. “The whole number of Indians in the nation mi the 23d of May, was estimated at 16,000 —out of this number about 2,600 were dispatched by the Superintendent by water to their new homes ■a the west, during the month of June. They are divided into tiiree parties; the first consisting of O.’O, winch started about the 15th of June, under tii. foliowing officers : Lt. Davis, U. S. Artillery, conductor ; Messrs. Reeves, Walker and Cox. assistants, Messrs. Cates and Folger, pliysidmus. The second party of aOO started about the 10th of June under the following officers, Lt- Whitely. U. S. Artillery, conductor ; Messrs. John Hooke, and P. Price, assistants. Messrs. llodsden and Morrow, phy siciaus. The third, party consisting of 1070 started about Idtji June, m wagons to Wa terloo, Ala. wive, ; they were to be embarked in boats. Tiie officers iu charge of the party are Henry Bateman conductor; Messrs Goody and Standif'er assistants; —Messrs. Hoyle and Will oughby, physicians. “We understand the first party mentioned, reached tire Western Nation in twenty days with out the loss of a life. The second party is pre sumed tube near the borders of the Western Na tion, and third party, has perhaps by this time reached the Mississippi river. “On account of the season, Gen. Scott on the 1 Stir June, suspended the emigration until the Ist September next, at which time vigorous opera tions will be commenced, in the mean time noth ing will be done except to subsist the dilfereat depots. “We are informed by Dr Young, the agent in charge of tire business at that place, that the In dians are in fine health and condition-” SavavAit. 6th August, 1838. At a meeting of the Delegates from the different I» inks in this city, to take into consideration the propriety of an early resumption of specie pay ments, the following measures were proposed, an 1 unanimously adopted : The Banks of Savannah will resume specie pav -111 ‘ :i *' on the first day of October next, and invite tne Banks of the interior to do so likewise. Fie Banks of Savannah will receive the bills of ah. the Country or Interior Banks in good credit, oti deposite, or in payment of debts, but not re issue them, provided such Banks, (except those of Augusta) agree to redeem their balances in this city, every lort-night, with city or Northern funds at p ir, or specie ; and that such agreement shall . consummated by such Bank? with the Banks "t f:i- city on or before the first day of Septem ber next. /, mired Tint a copy of tire foregoing resolu t «as l)e furnished to the several Banks in this State.

Characteristic Trick.— Mr. Crockett, of Ten nessee, (the son of David Crockett) in his recent speech upon the memorial of Mr. Blair, the Edi tor of the Globe, stated, that when the President’s message to Congress-was first issued, he was com pelled by circumstances to order two or three hun dred from the Globe office, to send to his constit uents. They were sent to him \ nder an envel °Pe, ready for direction—and he sent away all but two or three of them before he opened one of them— and “Sir,” said Mr. Crockett, “what do .Ton imagine my astonishment was, when I discov ered a copy of the Globe smuggled in it! Thus y°u see, sir, by a gross fraud upon the Govern ment and a base imposition upon me, I was made t 0 frank to my constituents, for aught I know, Sotne two or three hundred prospectuses of the extra Globe! I spoke of it to several gentle- 1 men, who informed me that the same trick had been play ed off upon them- Now sir, (said Mr Crockett,) can any man believe that a wretch who is capable of such smuggling, fraud and treache ry as this, iu small matters, would not be capable of any crime, no matter how inftmious, if lie thought he could escape detection and punish ment ?” FLORENCE, GA.

The Election returns from this State come in slowly, but so far so good, and good enough. We have heard from but ten counties, which give for Dudley 4249 votes, aud Branch 2243. At the last Governors election in that State Dud ley received iti seyen of these counties 2975 votes, and Spaight the Van Ruren .candidate and then Governor received 3235. The returns augur as favorably for State Rights majority iu the Le gislature as it does for the election of Dudley. We are rejoiced to perceive that the excite ment which existed in the ranks of the State Rights party has blown over and all seem inclin ed to come to the the support of tire entire Con gressional Ticket, the Sub-Treasury to the con trary, notwithstanding. Tiii« is as it should be; for if the party will suffer little matters to distract ij, (little, when compared to the main principles which brought it into existence,) it need never expect to succeed over the heads of the designing anil corrupt. While on this subject wc would notice the course of the People’s Press to which we alluded a week or two ago. We stated at that time that the Editor of that paper had gone over to the Van Bureu party, or at least, judging from ap pearances, it so seemed—lie having become so entirely wrapped up in the Sub-Treasury affair. It appears, however, the editor cannot reconcile it to his conscience to forsake liis old (riends and go over entirely to the enemy, and has consequently hoisted again the State Rights banner unfurling the Congressional Ticket to the breeze. We are glad to notice this course of the editor, and hope lor the future, lie will be more cautious how he links himself with the Van Buren party, and more sparing of his attempts to stab the best interest of the party for which he professes so much at tachment, * FLORIDA, Still has this suffering Territory to endure the scourge of Indian warfare —still are her citizens massacred and butchered, .without the least gleam of hope as to when they will be relieved from their deplorable situation. The Government Iras become perfectly callous to the cries of distress which are to be heard from that quarter. True, it keeps up a semblance ot protection, but that is all. It will be seen by our extracts that Gen. Taylor has been most wretch edly treated by those in authority. Placed there for the purpose of protecting the Territory, with out officers to assist him, a9 though he could take the command of every Captain’s company in the country. And why this negligence ; why is Flo rida suffered to be overrun by a savage enemy; and why is not every possible aid sent to her res cue ? These questions may be, aye, they have been answered, because the Florida war has cost more than the whole Territory is worth! Indeed! Is it dollars and cents for which the Government is fighting, or is it for the purpose of saving human life, and giving to her citizens that protection which humanity demands and the Constitution enjoins? We have thought it was the latter, but if we have labored under a mistake, and the for mer principles actuate those in authority, they should not have made the first effort. Had not mismanagement marked every step of the Government since the breaking out of hostil ities in Florida, that Territory would have been relieved long ago of the sufferings under which she is now writhing, and if our rulers will look at the costs of other matters which have been sad dled upon the country, and which have been of no earthly benefit, they will find that the amount is much larger than the whole cost of the Florida war; and had the money been judiciosly appro priated to the protection of that country instead of the corrupt purposes to which it has been applied, enough soldiers might eave been sent there to cat every Indian within her boundary. THE GEORGIA MIRROR. GOVER NME N T F. XT IIA VAC. AN CE. We would call the attention of our readers to the follow ing article from the Alexandria Gazette, that they may see the e-ourse pursued by those in autliorty with the people’s money. The Govern ment can furnish her military officers with 117 ne, Cider, Porter, Cologne Water, Cigars, tfc. <sj*r. while the people who have suffered and lost their all, in consequence of the faithlessness of the Go vernment, are refused, bluntly refused their just and equitable rights. Ilow long, we would ask, will the people submit to this injustice? Ilow long will they continue to kiss the foot that thus tramples their rights in the dust. No wonder then that the Florida War should have cost the Government §20,000 a day! No wonder the war is not ended, when, besides their regular pay, the officers'can live so luxuriously ou the money of the people. No wonder the Govern ment has become bankrupt, and the Treasury drained of its last dollar, with the exception of a few of its irredeemable shinplasters—when such extravagance is tolerated. When we look at such w asteful and unnecessa ry expenditures, we are struck with astonishment that so many of the intelligent men of the coun try can be found who will give their aid and sup port to a President or party that w ill countenance such extravagance. Here are citizens of our own State, yea, of our own county who, with all this corruption staring them in the face, will cling to Van Buren and his party with a death-like perti nacity, entirely unparalleled. Men, too, who have suffered severely by their mismanagement, who have “petitioned for a redress of grievances, and whose petitions have only been answered by repeated insults and injuries.” Gan then any rea sonable man support a party who will endeavor to cover the faults and misconduct of the Adminis tration ? This matter should be taken into con sideration by every man as he goes to the polls, and make this serious inquiry of himself, “am I supporting men for Congress or the Legislature who will stand out boldly in defence of my rights —my interest; whose affection is not so strong for the party in power as to prevent them from ex posing the mismanagement and corruption of our rulers ?” If not prudence, policy and common sense should teach every one the necessity of an opposite course. The fact is not to he denied, that our rulers are corrupt, and unless the people arise in the majesty of their strength, and put down the present dynasty in power, corruption, in all its hideous forms will continue to cover the land “as the waters cover the great deep.” and that liberty, independence and patriotism which is the boast of every American, will be swept from the nation by its almost, resistless to uts. More Light. —Some idea of the manner in which the public money has been wasted iu the prosecu tion of the Florida war, may be gathered from the statements furnished by the Quarter Master Gen eral, and referred to by Mr. Bronson, in his speech on the Army Bill, in the House of Representa tives. Mr. Bronson said:—“The outfit of one officer eugaged in the Indian warfare, for a short period, amounted to about four hundred dollars. The amount was made up by such items as these, viz: Wine, cider, porter, corkscrews, chewing to bacco, Spanish cigars, and last, but not least, six bottles of Cologne water!” The reading of this last article by the clerk caused the uiost extrava gant laughter. A report made by the Committee of Claims of the House of Representatives, also, shows how some of the money has been wasted. A regiment of mounted men, consisting of 417, were embarked at Ft. Louis for the Florida war. They weie transported by steamboats from that city, in October, 1837, to N Orleans, and thence by vessels to Tampa Bay, .where they arrived on the 26t!a Nov. 1837. The cost of transporta tion was §40.884 45. On their passage they lost nearly all their horses, and a portion of the few that arrived were unfit for service. To pay for these lun'se-s Congress has passed a bill appropria ting $35,000. When the regiment reached Tam pa Bay it was found o be too Urge, and in four days thereafter 183 of the men were discharged, and were paid $19,"259 16. wcne allowed $20,*17 for their horses lost, and hud previously received $17,941 00—making in all $58,019 25, expended without the least possible benefit to the country. In addition to this sum, was the expense of re fransporting them to St. Louis, of which no ac count has been received, and which will probably be $20,000 more.— Alex . Gaz. FOR THE GEORGIA MIRROR. Messrs Editors —l am glad to see your little town wear the appearance of so much activity and business. 1 see several new store houses have been built and that two or three others are being erected. lam told also, that more applica tions have been made by merchants living in dif ferent parts of the State, than there 3re houses to accommodate them. There is no kind of doubt but next winter will find your flourishing town amply supplied with well assorted stocks of dry goods and groceries. I have been informed, like wise, that sufficient fnnds wilt be placed in the market to purchase all the cotton that may be brought to it. The farmer need not look any where else for a market, unless he should wish to make a pleasure trip of the matter. Surrounded, as you are, by the very best kind of population, situated in a countiy destined to be the most densely populated of any in the State, your place is obliged to be one of considerable commercial importance. If you can sustain your selves so well now, when other places are driven to the verv verge of ruin, and many compelled to close their doors, you may confidently expect that when a reaction does take place, which I think will be at the opening of next fall’s business, you will be able to do your full share of a profitable bu siness. Perhaps there are no farmers in the State who pride themselves more on their punctuality, and who sustain that character better than the planters of Stewart county. There is some com fort in doing business among such a people, for when pay day comes they make a business of mee ting their engagements. , AN OBSERVER. FOR THE GEORGIA MIRROR. Messrs Editors —l presume it will be denied by no one that when a man wishes to employ the ser vices of another for (he accomplishment of some object or to perform certain duties for him, be should look well to his qualifications for such ser vice, and not, by a head long course, make choice of one who knows nothing about the business, nor is iu any way fitting for the discharge of the duties which will be required of him. This will apply as well in political as domestic concerns, and if any thing with more power and effect. Because, when a man is chosen to the dis charge of political duties, he is entirely from un der the eye of those he represents and conse quently must act without the direction of his con stituents, and has entirely to depend upon his own judgement in those matters which so deeply con cern them—hence the necessity of selecting a man in every respect qualified to judge discritni natelv of what will promote the interest and hap piness of those who have chosen him for so im portant and responsible station. Besides these there are other requisites necessary, which the people cannot examine into too minutely, (and at which I shall briefly allude,) iu order to make a good Legislator. A man should be honest in his political opin ions and not so strongly bound to any man or set of men gsto suffer corruption to stalk abroad in open day light, and not stand out openly against it oi endeavor to hide it from the-gaze of his con stituents. He should also be a friend to his coun try, and when danger threatens, and the merciless Indiaus are in the land, murdering the helpless and innocent, and destroying the property of our citizens, lie should be ready to go, at least, upon a let) day's tour, and if he will not go himself, he should by no means endeavor to prevent others from going ; neither should he, if lie fails in his attempts to stay them, sneeringly tell them to go that he would “STAY AT HOME AND MAKE CORN TO SELL TO THEM AT A DOLLAR AND A HALF A BUSHEL. Neither should he be puffed up with vanity, so much so as to be lieve that upon his advancement depended the success of any party, nor should he, for the purpose of scarring people into his support who would not countenance him, declare that “IF THEY PUT HIM DOWN THEY PUT DOWN THE PARTY!”—such a man would never look to the advancement of any interest save his own political aggrandizement. He, also should be somewhat informed upon the political affairs of the nation, enough so, at least, as not to be compelled to pin ills faith to another man’s sleeve; and bv all means, it not capable of draw ing up a bill himself, he should be of read ing it after it was drawn up, particularly after it was printed. And unless a man has these qualifi cations spoken of above, he would be a complete cipher in the Legislature, and be subject to the contempt and ridicule of all around him. PAN HANDLE. From the Macon Messenger. POLITICAL PROSPECTS. We are happy to learn that the late Commence ment at Athens, passed off without any political movements calculated to interrupt the harmony oftl e State Rights Party. Our opponents anxi ously looked to. and prayed for such a result; but this, their forloin hope, has boon dissipated, and blown to the winds. It is settled then, that we shall have no new is sues pending the present election, and no new par ty organizations. The good old banner of State Rights is yet the proud and only standard to which we rally. In spite of tire prayers aud h opes of our opponents, the integrity, the unity, the harmony of the State Rights party are preserved. We are one and indivisible —although evanescent or ex traneous topics of the day, may cause differences in opinion amongst us. Yet let our adversaries know that these differences of opinion as to how the Government shall Lest collect and keep its corrupting revenues, or in what currency it shall pay and be paid, will not divide the State Rights party. There is too much common ground of great constitutional principles for us to stand up on, to consent to be torn and rent by these Consid erations. It is true, our party differ, as they have ever differed, on subjects connected, with the cur rency, because they enjoy the proud prerogative oj thinking for themselves, and not like our opponents, to have a creed prescribed for them by a party caucus, to which they must give full consent, item by item. Some are Bank men —some Sub-Trea sury men—others opposed toboth—-yet are we all State Rights men. Our Political fathers have differed on these subjects. Jefferson, and Madi son, and Crawford, and Lowndes, and Troup, arid Berrien—luminous light*, have differed. We, as State Rights men and republicans of the school of 98, h ive never thought of proscribing our elo quent and accomplished Wilde, who is now gatli er?hg laurels in a foreign clime, because he was a United States Bank man : nor have we the hss delighted to honor our Berrien, our Crawford, or Channel, and many others, because they thought with him. We have not and we shall not pro scribe any who have been our friends, for opin ions sake, on the subject of the currency, so long as we find them not following in the train of the •ambitious Judas, who would have made our prin ciples and our attachment for him, his merchan dize. The State Rights party of Georgia are made of sterner materials, than thus to he brought to the shambles so accommodate a political aspir ant. With shame we have witnessed this in those we are constrained to recognize as our fellow-citi zens. They have bowed to the beck of political leaders, without daring to say, why and where fore is this ? with all the blind zeal of a religious devotee to his teacher. But-proud wc are, that with us it is not so. We are even proud of our dissentions. because jt argues a freedom ofthought and opinion among our party. ‘But we must re gret that some of our wise men, of whom we are proud, have gone into the support olthe sub-Trea surv system. We could wish that it was other wise. We could wish that against this tinkering scheme of the administration, the whole undivi ded moral power of the State Rights party was arrayed. But aahonest differences of opinion, on these questions, have ever been tolerated, so we still declare for free toleration. While we cannot agree in this currency question with that portion of our State Rights ticket for Congress, who are Sub-Treasury men, yet there are many things in which we do agree with them. Certain we are, that with the other ticket we agree in nothing. We shall therefore not oppose our old friends, ex cept they give tn their adherence to Mr. Van Buren. Wc have no reason to expect such re creancy from any one ot them, as yet. BRUNSWICK & FLORIDA RAIL ROAD- We are happy to annouce the return of the Hon. Thpmas Butler King, the President of the Bruns wick and Florida Rail-road Company, to his res idcace at the Sand HUE, after a tour of ;,vo moaths through the Southern and Western counties of this State. We may now regard the immediate commencement and rapid completion of this im portant work as certain. Subscriptions to the amount of a million and a half of dollars have al ready been obtained, and throughout the South ern and Western parts ol the State and Western Florida, the importance of an immediate and rapid communication with the Atlantic is appreciated to such a degree, that in ordinary times, double a mount of the necessary subscript ion could read* , ily be obtaiuedi We cannot sufficiently rejo'ce at the flourishing condition of this great national work, of such in - inense importance as it is, to the whole country, and more particularly to Georgia and to this city. At present, we will only say that the present state of the subscription warrants the expectation, that the construction of the Kail Road will be com menced the next fall, and continued with the ut most practicable rapidity. In our next we intend to present a more partic ular account of the sections of this State through which the road has been surveyed and located, and of the part icular advantages, which decide this rail road to be the most direct and desirable con nexion between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlan tic.—Brunswick Advocate. From the New York Herald, EXTR ACT FROM BENNETT’S LETTERS Liverpool, 20th July. 1838, 10 o’clock. This is Friday, and the very last moment I can write you by the Great Western, which sails to morrow from Bristol. I have been busy in the cotton market, seeking and getting information. After London, this is the great centre of American commerce in Eu rope—and lam not sure but the spirit that con trols all our trade on this side ot the Atlantic, moves principally here. The various circulars which you will receive, will convey an accurate idea of the prices, quotation, slocks, <!tc. in tnis part There is other information which is e qually important, but which is seldom touched upon here. What are the prospects of the future ? what are the elements of the present trade in cotton ? The great dependence, of the American cotton, tobacco and other staple articles, rests on the in ternal trade of this country. Its foreign trade, even to America or to Europe, is merely a frac tion of immense and overwhelming internal trade. Now the internal trade depending entirely on the crops, it follows that the state of the crops in En gland have a very important bearing on the epttou trade of New York, Charleston aud New Or leans. 1 have not time to calculate this by facts and fi gures, although I have abundance—l can only e nunciate the proposition. This being the case, the question becomes very interesting—what is the state stnl prospect of the crops in Great Britain? I have been all over England and Scotland, I have been inquiring in every quarter as to this question, and from the wildest and best information I can find, the crops will generally bean average, and in many places over an average. If this turns out to be the (act, as I think it will, it will be seen that the manufac tures will find good markets, and consequently be come keen purchasers oi our 3taple. Ihe stock on hand here is greater by 150,000 bales than it was at this period last year, but the imports up to the same time are still greater, being 1)00,000 be yond those of last year. The prices are better by 10 or 15 per cent than they were at this time lust year. During the last few months, since the cotton has been arriving in great quantities from the U. States, there has been a great struggle here be tween the buyers and sellers about the prices. The lar„e holders here have been straining every nerve to hold the cotton in order to keep up the prices—the spinners and manufacturers have been pursuing the opposite policy of taking as little as possible. 1 think the contest will be governed by the srops in this country, and the abihvy of the banks in the United States—that is to say, it will terminate in a compromise, leaving the prices and demand nearly as they are at present. For two years to come, the cotton market will not vaiy much. It will take that time to start in a fresh ca reerunder the new impulses now in action. But for the United States Bank, and the other banks of our country that came into the market, inclu ding also their policy of a suspension of specie pavments, the value of our present cotton crop would have been 10,000,000 less than it will fetch. The agents ol the United States Lank here, Hum phries'’and Biddle, have an immense stock on hand, and are daily receiving more. Only con sider that at this moment there are 120 American ships in this port —in London, only a half adozen. The policy of delaying the resumption of specie payments in the South, whatever be the morals of it, has undoubtedly realized $10,000,000 to the United States that would have been thrown away here. Recollect, Ido not approve of any Banks going into commercial operations—but our hanks were forced into that position by an overruling e menre.ncy—and the doctrines held forth and vio lently persisted iu by the Barings and the.r agents in New York, were narrow, selfish, suicidal and destructive to southern interests and southern property.
