Sandford, and brought before a Magistrate at Gwinnett, for refusing to comply with tc necessary oath. The latter was bound over for his appear ance at the next term of Gwinnett supe rior Court—-the former, for want of bail, was suffered to depart on giving Ids individual bond for his appearance at said Court. Athenian. <A>- Not long since we had the melancholy op portunity of witnessing the distress prevail ing among the Creek Indians, which we have heretofore noticed in our paper, on informa tion derived from others. A considerable part of that tribe is literally in a starving con dition. Government could now succeed in sending olfa large part of them, as they would • ioubtlesi consent to emigrate for the purpose of preserving life. Thus the policy of remov ing the Indians to the westward might be par tially effected, while at the same time the '■lust' of humanity would be served. This is the only way perhaps in which the Presi dent would be authorized to afford them re lief.—To see a whole people destitute of food —the incessant cry of the emaciated creatures being bread! bread! is beyond description distressing. The existence of many of the Indians is prolonged by eating roots and the bark of trees. 'The berries of the India or China tree of last year’s growth, were eat by them as long as they lasted—nothing that can afford nourishment is rejected, however offen sive it may be. Nor can there be, to the suffering of this wretched people, mitigation or limit short of death, or the humane inter vention of our Government. But few of them on the borders of this State has planted corn, because they had none to plant. The next year will therefore find most of those who un til then linger out a miserable existence, no better off tha/i they axe at present. In a coun try abounding in abundance, as ours in gene ral does humanity weeps at such scenes. Southern Recorder . ”***9 From the Tuscaloosa Litelligcnccr. By the Arkansas Gazette we learn that the long contemplated treaty between the Osage, t herokec and Creek tribe of Indians was happily concluded on the sth ult, at Canton ruciit Gibson, aided by Colonel Arbuckle, the commanding officer there; Maj. P. 1.. hoteau, Agent for the Osages, with Capt. ivor and A1 r. McNair, sub-agents to the s"une tribe. The parties continued in Conn ed for fourteen days, during which time two treaties were entered-into, the one between tne Osages and Cherokees, the other between the same tribe and the Creeks. But little trouble was experienced in ad justing the difficulties existing between the •reeks and Osages, which was principally for sfo.en property, and of recent date.

BANK OP MACONh For the purpose of quieting the feelings of ap prehension which have been excited in the public mind in relation to the solvency of this institu tion, we have authority for saying that a transfer of its chartered privileges has been made to a company of gentlemen residing in this neighbor hood and in Charleston, 8. C. who can command any amount of capital that the necessities of our market may require. As an evidence of the cred it which the Macon Bank had establish®.! for it self, and which it continued to enjoy up to the moment of its transfer, it wiji only be necessary to say, that a premium of $-.15,000 dollars has been paid in by the purchasers for the privileges of the charter. There will be a change in the officers of the Bank, and in the gentlemen composing the Di rection, of which we shall he enabled to, apprise the public in our next. To c Correspondent. “Cum Persecution — We don’t know what cum persecutio is—but Will try and find out. ’Twon’t do for him, or her, cr any correspondent whom soever, to be smarter than we bo. Now, the fact is, we arc persecuted—for to read the communication which is claimed by Cum Persecutio, would require a better decypherer of straight lints and pot hco/cs, —one better ac quainted with punctuation, and above all one more possessed with the “ dear divine gift,” than we are. What! who would think that we ean put blank verse and no rersc, prose, and jingle, so as to render it (even though all tne words be there) passable Poetry 1 Had it not better be sent to Lothario, with a quid pro quo of ‘ another six’ if he will put it into good rhyme, measure, and reason? We are pleased to see the various improvements which have been made and are still making, in the appearance of seme of the Newspapers in this State. Among them is the iast“ Federal Union ” which has assumed anew beautiful dress, which vies with any of tire approved fashions which have preceded it. In proportion to these good goodly appearances, should the Press be. rewarded. We have heretofore unintentionally omitted to mention the talented acquisition to that paper, in the services of John A. Cuthhert , Esq. of Forsyth, who with its former editor, now conducts the Fe deral Union, under the firm of J. G. Polhill & J. A. Cuthhert.” If writers and editors, who quote articles taken from the Advertiser, do not quit using improper credits, by making other papers say, what we have said, we will “ do as we have been done by” expose ’em. And we would some of our breth ren “ low down” to say Macon Adrcrtsier when an article is taken from it—and not as is frequent ly the case, extract our remarks with the super scription, “Macon,— 1831.” V\e would not be verv selfish about such things, if others were not so—-but, if one steals with impunity, why, we ought to be allowed to “do likewise.” \\ e have no notion of being the only violator of established laws and usages—of being caught, tried and con demned alone. Misery, it is said, likes com pany ! We half believe it; and for this self-same reason, we will detect and execute the next vio lation against the law—the first trespasser on our premises, who takes our goods and chattels with out saying wc allowed him to do so. THE POLES. We are waiting with painful anxiety for further advices from these gallant and suffering people. The accounts published in our last were of so contradictory a nature that we almost fear the re sult. But still we will not despond—for it ap pears to us, that ifSkrzynceki holds Seidlec, and that ff Dicbitsch has been forced to retreat across the Bug, the Russians must inevitably be whip ped _if this be true, there is no doubt of the Poles retrieving their independence, unless Aus- ( triaand Prussia should interfere to help the over- , grown bully of the North. Why are France j and England idle 1 They arc clamoring loudly for Reform , Liberty, and Equal Rights, and yet al though time, resources, and men, are at their bid-, ding, they will not advance one step to protect from the most cruel oppression, a people whose; bravery and patriotism havo become proverbial, j and who arc struggling against atyranny unequal led in the annals of history'. Sinco writing the above, we have received by this morning’s mail, (see Postscript head,) ad vices one day later from Liverpool, "hey are of a cheering character, and convince ut that the Russian accounts have been highly exaggerated. That Dicbitsch has been out-oenerallkd by Scryznccki; & that tlx former fens been compelled^ to make a precipitate retreat there, can now be no doubt. From the revolutionary spirit which pre vails in Russian Poland, we should not he surpris ed if Dicbitsch’s retreat was cut off, and his army annihilated. The political adversaries of the South, for the purpose of depreciating her consequence in a Na tional point of view, resort to the grossest absur dities, and the most infamous expedients. '1 hey break ground a great way from the object they have in view, for the purpose of masking their op erations—because they are aware that an expo sure of their designs would defeat tin ir views. It is in this way that Tariffites, political Ecclesias tics, and pseudo philanthropists, assail us. We had to clock one of the latter kind of animals, who made his appearance in the Macon Telegraph, some six or seven weeks ago. After an elabo rate study the “ mountain labored and brought forth a mouse” on .Saturday' last. The object of the writer as it will be recollected, is to deprive the Southern States, of the representation which they en joy from their slave population. This, of course, wilt be looked upon as a ridiculous and impotent attempt to lessen the influence of the South. In the course of the writer’s obscene and vulgar “ rigmarole,” he intimates that we charged him with enjoying certain benefactions, and with having black blood running In his viens; We certainly made no such charges. If Dr. Bartlett will adopt the opinions of his correspondent as his own, we will answer him at large. ADVERTISING WAVE<3. This is a custom which would he “more honor ed in the breach than in the observance.” It is too prevalent among our periodicals—and we think it a disgrace to the American Press. Un der this impression we propose to our cotempora ries that they exclude from their papers all such advertisements. We shall do-ssando —and for the following reasons : A man comes into a printing office, and gives an exparte statement of his wife, and begs that she be advertised. Now this simple fact alone, is, of itself, amply sufficient, to convince us of the injustice of acceding to his request. The wife is not present to counteract by her testimony, the testimony of her husband—and we have no right to place any confidence in what he says, until he makes good his charges by irrefragable proof.— This is such a plain and common ride of justice, that it must be admitted by every man who is not destitute of reflection. There is also a palpable violation of the common decencies of life, in lift ing up the curtain of domestic privacy for the gaze of vulgar observation, —and this no man should do who values his own reputation, or pro perly appreciates the feelings of society. Beside all this, we really think that in ninety-nine cases out ol a hundred, the violation of the matrimonial vows are altogether attributable to the misnotner ed “ Lords cf Creation." A good atid affectionate husband, will make the partner of his bosom a good and affectionate wife. This is a fact which is well known to all, who are acquainted with tlm devotedness of woman’s love,, and is another and conclusive proof that those advertising gentry are generally the authors of their own disgrace.

Savannah Georgian. (Sail I!o;t(L. For flic Mneon Advertiser* The produce of Georgia is now conveyed to market and the returns brought back, generally in wagons. Four horsra, will carry 8 bales of cotton one hundred miles in, say six days. Let us now compare this with whatis done on canals and rail roads. On a canal, two horses pull a boat of 40 tons burden; say, 40 wagon loads equal to 8 bales of cotton each. They can travel from 3to 4 miles an hour. We will allow them therefore three days for their trip of 100 miles. Four horses there fore will pull two boats, equal to 80 wagon loads this hundred miles in three days. In six days, they make two trips. So that the 4 horses, which in a wagon can in six days convey to market but 8 bales of cotton can on a canal, convey the same distance and in the same time 100 loadsof 8 bales each, or 1280 bales. One horse on a canal per forms the work of 100 houses on a road. Burdens equally lieaYy arc now conveyed dai ly on rail roads at the rate of 30 miles an hour.— Suppose we allow that pine Wood (the best of fu el for steam engines) is not as plenty in Georgia as elsewhere; that steam is not as powerful; iron not as strong; or for some other foolish reason admit that we cannot propel loco motive Engines on a rail road at a greater rate than 15 miles the hour—so as to make but about three of these trips in 21 hours. Even at this rate, of about half, not of what may he accomplished, but of what is now actually and constantly done, we have eighteen trips in the six days on the rail road instead of two on the canal*. No part of this is speculation founded on con jecture —it is fact verified by actual experience!' Rail roads are as much superior to Canals as Ca- 1 nals are to turnpike roads. Is it too much then to say that rail-roads inevi tably must come more and more in use ! They j will increase on the whole just as fast as the j stock will pay a moderate profit: till finally they j will become the medium of all or nearly all lieu-, vy or rapid inland transportation. But will they pay 1 Some will pay and some will not. Of this, hereafter. TRANSIT. !

COTTON. —?hc sales of Upland Cotton i.i the week were not extensive, amounting oply to a-j bout 2500 bales, and although we continue the quotations of the previous week, it appears to be generally admitted that a shade lower prices were suumitted to for middling qualities. We continue to quoie 7 ahi for inferior to common prime, and a I*l and to cts. for very choice lots, favorite marks. Tim principal sales were at a Bj, and the whole transactions of the week averaged about "8 cts. The demand was chiefly for good, very good and prime qualities. Inferior was rather neglected. Several very choice lotsweresohl at til,and two parcels broglit 10 cts, however, very fine. GROCERIES.— I The sales of Groceries from first hands were sniall, and the trade i:i the count ry is now over for the season. Sugars continues low and very dull. A lot of 53 hhds. inferior N. Orleans was sold at 54, and a small lot Cuba Mus covado, good quality at 8R A small lot very in ferior N. Orleans was sold at auction at 5R In Coffee the sales were rather smull, holders gen erally were asking higher prices in consequence of the advance in Cuba. The sales from first hands do not amount to more than 200 bags at It) a 114 for inferior to very good Cuba. Molasses is very scarce ; it is believed there is not a hhd. in first hands in the city. Domestic Liquors, of every description, are very scarce, and the prices we quote nominal, but at these a quantity could readily be sold. FREIGHTS. —Since our last, several freight ing ships have arrived, and they are all up for Liv erpool. There is no vessel up for any port in France. The rate of freight to New-York is sll per bale for square bales, and f ct. per pound for round bags Cotton. To Boston, 4 cent per pound for square, and j for round bags C jtlon, and $1 per tierce for Rice.. To Prvidence, j cent per lb. for square and £ for round bags Cotton, and $1 per tierce for Rico. —■*H 0 fie**** Corsespondence of the Journal of Commerce. Liverpool, May 14. Our Cotton market continues without any improvement since the 30th ult. indeed so moderate has been the nature of the demand, and met by so much willingness on the part of importers to realize, that wo can barely re sume our quotations, and even those are not fully obtained on the low and middling quali ties of American: the better descriptions maintain their previous position, not being by ant means superabundant. The import of all kinds since the 30th ult. amounts to about 54,000 hags, while the sales are only reckon- eclat 28,000 bags, leaving an addition lo our stock of about 26,000 bags upon the whole* The state of the Manchester market is not en couraging at this moment, as the export de mand for Twist is yet on a narrow scale, and the brisk state of the market, which we noticed some weeks since, as existing for Printing Cloth, has been succeeded hy a mod erate extent of business at present in that channel. Wc have, however, to notice a re vival of inquiry for Cotton Wool for export; the sales in the course of this week, on that account, being altogether about 2,190 bags, consisting of 300 American, 1,200 Brazil, and 600 East India. On speculation noth ing has been done of late. The public funds, it will be observed, have advanced to an ex tent rather considerable since our last, giv ing a fair proof of increased confidence in the maintenance of peace abroad and tranquili ty at home; at the same time that those ap prehensions, which were a short time since not without foundation, as to the probable contraction of the issues and discounts by the ■ Bank of England, have given place to the general understanding, that commercial, transactions will not at present have any diffi culties of this kind to Contend against# Extract from another' letter, Saturday Evening May 11. The business done in the Cotton Market this week has been on a more extensive scale than for some weeks past, nevertheless, our prices, particularly of the lower qualities of Up! and; Orleans, Tennessee and Mobile, were barely maintained. We therefore reduce our quotations accordingly.' The sales of Cotton this daV about 1500 bales. The market very flat.

Fourth retreat of the Russians —Dox Miguel iiumuled nv a British fleet. The Packet ship Pacific, Capt. Crocker, was boarded about sunset on Monday evening 50 or HU miles from the city, by the news schooner Journal of Commerce,bringing Lon don papers to May ICth and Liverpool to the iTth, both inclusive. Fourth Retreat of the Russians. At length we have received authentic in telligence from Poland, and, we rejoice tosay of the most cheering kind. The Russian commander in-chief, who, sonic months ago, in the plenitude of presumption,pledged him self to his master, that, hy a certain day, he would display the Russian eagle in Warsaw, has again been foiled, his plan again derang ed, and, with the hulk of liis troops, he has been obliged to fallback, in discomfiture and disgrace,before the army of the patriots. This is the fourth time that this doughty conqueror, whose high pretensions have now become a laughing-stock even to his own thick-head ed followers, has seen his claims to immortal ity vanish. Of the details of this last advance of the Russians upon Warsaw,and the retreat of the Poles before them, we have the ac counts of both sides, and they differ but little from each other. As soon ns the first move ment from Scidlec, which was Dicbitsch’s head quarters for some time, denoted an in tention on the part of the enemy to advance, Skvrznecki despatched couriers to Warsaw to prepare them for the army, & to desire that the place might be put in a condition to sus tain a siege, in case the fortune of war should be against the cause in a general engagement. Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with which this news was received. The citizens renewed their devotion to their country; and wc arc told that, in an incredibly short space of time, anew tete-du-pont was construc ted at Praga, and a second wall of protection was thrown up by 15,000 men, which was sufficient to shelter the whole of the patriot army. The most influential senators and cit izens went out to join the camp, and every one reconciled himself to the worst. The re treat, in the mean time,continued, the Poles every where carrying with them the inhabi tants of the country, and every description of provision which could serve as subsistence to the enemy—Upon the 27th Skrzynecki had reached the capital, and fixed his head quarters there; the bulk of his army was at Miiosna, a dozen miles distant. In their re treat they appear to have been greatly liar rassed by the Russians, and at Minsk an ac tion of some consequence took place, in which the Russians say the Poles lost a con siderable number of men; but this is denied by the accounts upon the other side. Arriv ed at Dembe-Weilki, the Russians found that they could not procure “even a little straw for their .horses,” and the Field Marshall had therefore, no alternative, but again to sound a retreat, in which he has been pursued by the Poles ; and the last account of him is from Mordy, which is beyond Scidlec, the point from which he set out. On the 29th April the Polish army had again advanced, and resu med its former positions at lvostraya, and be yond Sicnnica. On the 30th the Polish army advanced, and the vanguard was in the morn, ing at Kaluszyn* The effect of this retro grade movement must be highly favorable to the patriot cause, for, besides its influence upon the still wavering provinces of Russian Poland, it proves thatlhe subsistence of the Russian army is entirely dependant upon their supplies m the rear, and these may be inter cepted by the insurgents. The only drawback to this cxhilirating news is the statement (of which the accuracy is no longer questionable) cf cholera morbus prevailing amongst the Polish troops. It is said, however, to be abating of its virulence and mortality. Wassaw, May 2. An Englishman from Odessa has entered our ranks. Six English surgeons have also arrived to assist the wounded- During the few days fighting, the young Narisehkin, the natural son of the late Emperor Alexander, was made prisoner.— The Commondt r-in-chief of the Polish army, upon the requisition of Field-Marshal Die bitch, Las consented to exchange him, but solely upon the condition of receiving hack the martyr of out good cause, Col. Severin Krzyanowski, whom the Russians still retain in prison, contrary to the law of nations, and of ull our constitutional guarantees. iiONnov, May 10. We received last night Hamburg Papers to the 19th 6f May inclusive. 'J’hey bring us the gratifying intelligence that the Rus sians were retrefung in all directions.— Diebitch is said to have -left 10,000 sick in Siedlcc. He is retreating with his whole army to the Bug, over which river he has thrown bridges. A number of details are given of partial engagements, in which the Poles have had the advantage. An army obliged to leave behind materiel and prison ers, mus suffer much from a vigorous enemy at their heels. Private letters, received on Friday night by the mail, from Lisbon, state that the Brit ish squadron, consisting of a 74 gun ship, two frigates, four corvettes, and three brigs, had arrived in the T.-gua, and demanded a categorical answer to the demands of the British government, all r.ogociation on the subjects in dispute being expressly prohibi ted. In the event of an unfavorable answer being given, the British Consul, I Ir. Cprrce, was ordered ;umiedia!. ly to embark, and the commander cf the squadron lnd ordtrr tot make reprisals in any manner J;c thought fit, j I', ia a ified in a postscript to these letters, tint the Portuguese Government, terrified by the appearance of the squadron, had promptly a '■f dud to every demand ; and that the whbli affair, including the payment of the compen sation; was tc be settled cn Tuesdy next (the 3d.) The announcement of this result excited great .disappointment on Saturday among the Portuguese Refugees, who naturally expect cd (hat Miguel would persist in his obstinacy, and thafosoine contest might take place which would prove fatal to his Government. They •may, however, indulge some hopes of such an occurrence in a very short time,- fertile French fleet has probably arrived tret with orders to bombard Lisbon if tin ir de mands are not complied with; and three - ineriean frigates are on iheir way to th. s. ■ ; destination with the same object. Theda:. . j | of the Americans were still more serious t.i .1 those of the French or English. Suva r;.l ! American citizens had been sent from I Michael’s and the adjacent islands in ir us, and were afterwards treated with the great, A cruelty and indignity. Extract of a letter dated Warsaw, May 2. Wc have had the Polish army at Milos; a again, two miles distant from Warsaw. T 4? following is a despatch from General Skrs - necki: “General Diebitsch had concentrated all his forces, and in person, at the head of Ids advanced guard, attacked 00 the 25th our rt i.r guard near Kuflcw.

Miiosna, April 28 Signed, SKZYNECKL 100 may depend upon this information, an Skrzynecki never exaggerates, hut keeps.! his plans secret. It issajd that he has made a feigned retreat, and wished to bring the Russians to Warsaw again, being a good po sition for a battle; but Dfobitsch thought it better to follow him, and has now retreated faster than 110 advanced.
