We were much pleased with our visit yester day to Mr. Robert Philip,s Brass and Iron Foun dry, now in successful operation in our city. The times have been so dull with us for some lime past, that we thought if we were idle, no one else could be at work, but we must acknowlogde our agreeable disappointment on entering his lot, for there \vc saw as it were, a little world to itself, and every one busily engaged at the drfferent branches of business carried on in his establish ment. First the Blacksmith shop, where the hands were hard at work in making the different tools used in the establishment; then the machine shops, in which the different agricultural imple ments commonly used, are manufactured by wholesale; then his little steam mill, which is the grand lover to his whole establishment; for in addition to the corn it grinds, is it intimately connected with his foundry, working the different lathes, by which are, turned the iron and wood works manufactured by him; it is also connected with his furnace and furnishes the blast that is required to melt the iron. The castings done at this foundry will bear a comparison with any wc have seen brought from the north, both as regards firmness and surface, and wc are glad to learn that his business in this lino is on the increase. Ho is engaged at present, on several heavy pieces, for steamboats, and the rail roads in our vicinity, and is now prepared to exe cute the heaviest pieces of casting—the one wc taw cast yesterday will weigh about one thousand pounds. Mr. Philips deserves much credit for his industry and enterprise, and wo hope to sec him liberally encouraged.— Constitutionalist of Saturday. The following is an extract of a letter received from C'apt. Sisson, of the schooner Exit, dated. “BALTIMORE, July 2, 1838. “To the Editor of the Georgian; “The day after leaving Charleston at 12 M. be ing about 10 miles leeward from the place where the ill fated Pulaski sunk, saw a number of pieces of her, but all small, and painted, a part of a table and a quantity of lightwood floating on the water. The fragments were all much rubbed, and doubt less went down with her, and have since been washed from the main wreck, as the prevailing winds had drifted all those on shore which float ed when her boiler burst. I did not pick up any of the fragments as the wind was blowing a mod erate gale from south, and the Exit sailing 18. E. by E. eleven knots per hour at the time. I saw fragments for about two hours on the coast, or about 22 miles sail from the time I saw the first to the last. Yours respectfully. N. B. SISSON.” The Weather. The Baltimore American of the 10th inst. says,—“Yesterday was decidedly the hottest day of ihe season.

A'into 1 with the following official report of the recen battle with the Indians near IMewtmnsvillc ; Fort Gillelanu, Newnansville, ? Juno 80th, Is:J8. 5 Colonel :—I left this post on the 17th inst with a command consisting of Ist Lieut. How 1 and thirty dragoons; intending to reconnoitre tin large prarios lying immediately south of this, am then to proceed towards the Wa ka-sa sa ponds where I had been informed, recent signs oflndi ans had been seen. Captain \V alker and Mr. E, Knight of New nansville, accompanied mo as guides, also an In dian negro, Sandy, was with me in the same ca pacil). Boon after entering on the Ke-nof-pa haw prai rie, Sandy, who had left me a few moments, re turned at full speed, and reported that he had dis covered a body of Indians encamped on the point of a largo hammock jutting into the prairie; I im mediately proceeded with him and the guides, and examined the situation of the camp, which 1 was enabled to do, without being discovered, from an insolatcd grove of timber, directly in front of their encampment, and a half mile distant. The guides told me that the position occupied by the Indians, could only be approached in two directions; one by a strip of land leading from where wc stood to the point—the other by a very circuitous route through a large hammock; upon this information I placed twelve men under Lieut, How, with instructions to conceal himself in front of the grove, and to make a dash at the encampment as soon ns he should hear the first lire. I caused the remaining eighteen men to dis mount and tie their horses in the rear of the grove. We then proceeded with Oapiain Walker as guide to gain the roar of the Indians, which we did after a fatiguing march of about two miles, not however, before they had taken the alarm and gained trees, from which they opened upon us a brisk fire; wc rushed forward immediately and gave them a spirited lire in return; drove them deep into the hammock—passed by fifteen or twenty horses; and the body of an Indian, (through which I made ono of the men pass his bayonet.) It was then reported to mo that Captain WaL kcr (who was foremost in the light) had been wounded. Upon reaching him, 1 found that his wound was mortal, and that he was 100 far gone to give me any instructions as to my position. The Indians were then firing upon us from right, left and centre, but with little effect, as my men stuck close to their trees. About this lime, Lieut. How made a rapid charge, and dislodged them from my right, three of his men were shot from their horses, his own horse shot from under him, receiving two wounds, and the horse of one ol the men was shot, also receiving two wounds. Lieutenant How then bore olf his wounded, and judging from the yell of the Indians, that they were making for our horses, he removed them to a more secure place. Having lost my guide, and being encumbered with the body of Captain Walker and three wounded men, I hardly knew which way to turn, still my men drove back the enemy the third time—took possession of the horses, which wc were obliged to abandon, having ted them into a marsh, not in our proper direction. The firing then ceased for an interval of twenty minutes, it having beep continued on both sides for one hour and three quarters. Before discovering the way out of the ham mock, which was by mete chance, my men boro along the body of Captain Walker until they dropped from (atiguc and exhaustion. As I left the hammock, the Indians rallied and gave us long shots, which wo were unable to return as our ammunition was expended. Wc conveyed our wounded (three ol C and thice of F company,) that night to Fort Clark, eight miles from the prairies, and returned early next morning and brought off the body of Capt. Walker. In rcconnoitcring the ground, wc found seve ral spots covered with dolled blood, and the body of an Indian concealed between two logs and covered with bushes. Our spoils were three ponies and two rifles.— From the number 1 saw running in the woods, and the sine of the encampment, 1 suppose there were about fifty Indians. I regret that the size of my command prevented me from cllbcting more. Os my own command I have nothing to complain—of my guides, their conduct was all that I could expect or wish. Owing to the skill and prompt attention of Dr. Ilynn, I am happy to report that my wounded are in a fairway of recovery. I have the honor to ho, sir, Your obedient servant, L. J. BEALL, Capt. 2d Drag. Colonel Haunet, 2d Dragoons. P. S.—Since writing the foregoing report I have been informed by Lieut. Hardin that the bodies of two Indians were found by a company of Dragoons from Micanopy, whilst scouring the hammock where the engagement took place. L. J. BEALL, Capt. 2d Dragoons. [From the N. Y.

A new go. neration of business men have sprung up within the last ten. or fifteen years—men who have ac quired propelty, and are known lor their fidelity, skill and integrity. It is high lime that those men should have the influence they dc -ctvo in the money affairs of the city. Domestic Exchanges are improving,—holders of Southern Hank certificates sell only on abso lu'e compulsion. Monied men are anxious to invest in this description of paper.
