A Committee of the Ur Jen and State Bights party of the City of Cbarlesto;', lately forwarded an invitation to presi dent Jackson soliciting him to join them in the celebration of the anniversary of Independence. The president declined attendance, hut the frank manner in which he responded to the sentiments of the committee, and the severe rebuke he cast upon the dtsuniouists of that state, must serve we think ns a severe damper on the spirits of the nullillers. Jlany hairbrained politicians of that party have flattered themselves, that South. Carolina might break up the U nion, without interference on the part of the officers of the general government. That is. they contend that South Caro lina might hid defiance to the laws of Congress, and that the president would not interfere. From the following ex trad of his letter, wo infer that he does not thus construe his powers. •' livery enlightened citizen must know that that a separation, could it be effected, would be gin with civil discoid, and cud ia colonial de pendence on a foreign power, and obliteration from the list of nations. But he should also see, tin it high anil sacred duties which must and will at all hazards, Le performed, present an insur mountable barrier to ike success of any plan of disorganisation, by whatever patriotic name it may be decorated, or whatever high feelings may bo arrayed fur its support. We have received several numbers of the “Saturday Courier,” a w eekly jour nal commenced in Philadelphia about three months since, by Woouward and Spragg. It is devoted principally to mis cellaneous and literary intelligence, w hich cannot fail to give satisfucton to the rea der. It is neatly printed on a sheet of the largest class, with new type, at two doll its per annum, which is the cheapest journal in the United States. The adver tisement will be found in another column. Subscripting will be received for the Cou rier at this office. The Corporation of Columbus, desi rous oi’ obtaining precise information up on the subjc ct of the dissemination of the Small Fox among the Indians in our neighborhood, appointed a committee of Physicians to visit the infected places, and ascertain all the facts; and this com mittee having performed that duty with great zeal and intelligence, intike the fol lowing report; Columbus June 14. To The Intendant k Commissioners of Columbus. Gentlemen -In obedience to your ap pointment. we have visited the districts in the Creejt Nation infected with the small pox, anil have examined the lar ger number of eases now existing ill those districts. About five miles west of Fort liainbridge (near the residence of F. S. Cook) on the Federal lload, we found eight eases of small pox in the eruptive stage, one of which is of the covfncnt kind, mid two other subjects which had been exposed to the infection were labouring under fever. These ca ges were in a family of negroes belong ing to Fhenmteo, an Indian chief. Ti “e of the negroes hail escaped the contagion by vaccination, two daugh ters of the ehfi f who had been recently 1 vaccinated, b;.d j, a d 0 slight fever with n email eruption (probably varioloid.) At the Warrior’s Stand. we saw six rases of the disease, four of which were confluent and of r.n aggravated chnrac- j t. r, and two cases of fiver thnlhad the distinct eruption and all the diagnostic \ symptoms of small pox on the follow ing day. On the we«t side of Persimmon swamp j (nea. Fort. Hull) on the Federal lload, i there are eleven eases, nine of which are j confined in a house immediately on the ' road, and are of the confluent kind. We were informed hy Cnpt. Walker, that there are ten or more eases of the disease within two miles of Fort Hull, and that there had hecn four deaths in that district, and nine, including all the iufVeted families. We proceeded west ns far as the Pole cat Spring, where we learned from the proprietor that there arc now existing five raises of the disease at the Ticcabut cha to Tin bi-litntion ofthe Physick danrr got up . a few Indian Doctors, with the fallacious view of arresting a prop agation of the.smnll pox, will assist ve ry much in giving currency' to the in fection. Their Green Corn donees will al so widen the medium of communication among them, anil facilitate the progress of the disease. Nearly all the coses are now confined to negro families, which circumstance ; is owing to a late funeral attendance up- , on the first fata! case in a negro. But few Indians have hod the disease, and the infection might be extinguished at an early period, provided a general vac cination is adopted, and the infected hoa ses and clothing of the diseased ore con sumed hy lire. The mann.r anil structure ofthe In dian houses will very much facilitate a enatinnanee of the infection, unless there is an early destruction of every relict of tlie inf'cted places. Thus the violence of the disease has been very much moderated by entire abstinence from animal food. The dis eased subjects from necessity had been sustained lor a month previous to at tack upon vegetables alone, &, their laxative cliect hail fortunately prepared ilu ir systems for the reception of the disease. We were informed l y indisputable authority that every cast* proved fatal where animal food coaid be obtained. The Agent (Pol. C rowell) has infor med the Secretary of War of the cxis fence of small pox among the Creek In dians. and he expects in a short time to receive instructions with regard to a course to be pursued in the extinguish ment ofthe disease.

The brig Orleans, Chase, at this port from Liverpool, sailed on the 22< 1 May. The editors of the American have the Liv erpool Advertiser of Saturday the ‘2lst May, from which they extract the follow ing items. London, evening, May 18. A serious affair has taken place at An twerp. it originated in some boys plan ting a flag on one the Dutch outworks. Two musket3 were fired among them, and a great tumult ensued fifteen people were killed and wounded. The greatest alarm prevails in town, and though tran quility was in some measure restored when the last accounts came away, a renewel of disturbances was expected.— Persons of any property were hastily quit ting the town. According to accounts from Warsaw the Russians have been forced *o evacu ate Ostrolenku, with coesiderabie loss of men. Nothing of importance had occur red. The Poles were deturmiued not to give a general battle to the Russians, but wished to draw them towards Warsaw, as the position of Praga, which has of lute been so strongly fortified, would prove most advantageous to the Poles in case of a general attack from the Rus sians. The German papers to the 14th of May contain no further news from Po land ; but we regret to think that our ac counts ofthe failure of the gallant Skrzy necki are too true. LATER FROM EUROPE. The ship Colossus, at New York from Londonderry, brings to the New York ed itors, Belfast papers to tire 2-ltli May inclusive. RESUMPTION OF HOSTILI TIES BETWEEN BELGIUM AND HOLLAND—CAP TU RE OP PORT LA WREN CP BY THE DUTCH. The armistice at Antwerp has been broken, and hostilities commenced be tween the Dwch and Belgians. Great preparations were making on both sides for war. Gen. Chasse had been given to understand that some fortifications were raising at the back of some houses near the citadel and lie accordingly gave or ders for a sortie to be made lor the pur pose of destroying the houses by fire.— This led to some skirmishing, and upon the following morning it was discovered that the Dutch had taken posession, and were fortifying Fort St. Lawrence, a fort which had been declared neutral when the armistice was first agreed upon. It was also observed by tlie Belgians that the Dutch were going to destroy a dyke, When a detachment of the Belgian army attacked the Dutch, and made between 200 and 300 prissners. STILL LATER FROM EUROPE. By the arrival at New York oil Satur day, ofthe fast sailing Ship James Crop per, Capt. Garey, from Bristol, whence she sailed the 31st May, the Editors of /he Mercantile Advertiser, are indebted to Capt. Garey, for London papers of 26th and Bristol of 31st May, (the latter con taining London dates to 30th.) By this arrival we find no news of a definite or important character, though they con tain voluminous versions of old affairs, documents uninteresting to us, and spec ulations of the English Editors. ENGLAND. All is quiet in this country and the greatest confidence entertained by the people in tlie success ofthe Reform Bill. Tlie Kmg has conferred the order of the Garter upon Earl Grey. The distress in Ireland continues to increase. The report of O’Gonnan Mahonc’s having been killed in a duel, is without foundation. It is said that the patent creating the Cord Mayor of the city of London a bar onet, is in progess, and will be announced in Friday’s Gazette. POLAND. London, Mav 30.—The latest news from Berlin is to tbe 2lst, and from \V ar | saw to the evening of tlie 17th ilist, at which time no news had arrived of the then hourly expected collision between Dicbitseh and Skrznyeckt Botli armies ! are mamjeuvring—the Russian to operate against Warsaw on the opposite side ofthe Vistula from the previous line ol action; ! and the Poles, to defeat this fresli assault !on their capital. The country upon the hue of inarch was desolate, and tlie chol era morbus, according to our private let— i ters, 1 rightfully extending its ravages: it j -‘-id spread into Austrian Gallieia In Li thuania, the Russians are pursuing a sav aize extermination. They are hanging and shooting even their wounded prison ers, and the peasants and scattered Po lish partizan corps are executing on the p P°t in their turn a tumble retaliation. The French papers of Friday, contain a long report [coined from a Warsaw pa per) ot the proceedings of the Lithuanian insurgents, presented to the National Gov ernment of, hy an Envoy from Lithuanian. The insurrection is said to have extended to Grodno and Minsk, and the Government of Wilna alone is said to have 63,000 insurgents under arms.— I hey have cstablised provisional govern ments, and have begun boundaries of gun powder. The peasants fight with the great est bravery against their Russian oppress ors, and ‘if Luthiauia falls, ’ suysthe report, “she will carry to her grave the consoling •dea that she preferred to sacrifice every tiling rather than supply arms and ircans to subjugate the Poles and their common country.” The Russians have sent back to War saw two doctors made prisoners at Minsk. The Russians at Lublin have become a prey to the fever; in the hospital at Op ol they have 6,000 sick. Commercial letters from St. Peters burg stale that the Russian officers ofthe Court, and other nobles of the land, are clothing, arming, and equipping, at their own expense, an army of lUU,OUU men to march against the Poles. From the London Times of the 27th. We publish with unfeigned Satisfaction, letters from Warsaw, bringing intelli gence from the Polish armies so late as to the 16th—only 11 days old. Those communicate a gallant and important ex ploit of the patriot General Chizanowski; w ho was despatched by tlie commander in-Ch:ef with a corps of 8,000 men to dis turb the left flank and rear of the Rus sian army, an expedition into Volhynia, which was conducted with marvellous in trepidity and succcs, that brave officer bursting through successive lines of Rus sians post, beating the enemy in several engagements, and though in the midst of 24,000 Russians, under Generals Kreutz and Witt, capturing 800 prisoners, with which he entered the fortress of Zamosc in triumph. The main object of this well-contrived and brilliant enterprize was to substitute anew force in Volhynia for that which, since the misfortunes of General Dwernicki, has been withdrawn from the patriot cause, by the more du bious unfriendliness of Austria towards the Polish libeities. The new chieftain has thus proved himself to the outset a worthy successor to the brave and skillful Dwernicki; though we trust he is not destined to experience the same vicissi tudes of war, or the same treachary from pretended neutrals. The Prussian government, it grieves though it does not surprise us to see, Ims begun the game of “cordon sanitaires” against the emancipation of Poland. If the English and French Cabinet once put themselves in motion, the old com rade of Russia in the crimes of the 18th century hud better behave with more cir cumspection in what belongs to the laws of neutrals. To the Citizens of Muscogee. I reluctantly consented to become a candidate to represent you in a Legisla tive capacity. I must decline—you will therefore no longer consider me before you for office. Numerous private and professional engagements require my con stant and undivided attention. Yours, J. T. CAMP. July 16, 1831. CAMP MEETINGS. FOB THE COLUMBUS DISTRICT, 1831.
