It is also probable, that Vanderpool, (V. B.) and Ely, (Conservative) arc elected in the Bth District, and Messrs. Earl and Rogers, (V. B.) in the 23rd District. The slips express the opinion that the Whigs have elected at least half the members of Congres, in the State, if not a majority. The Legislature, it is said, will no doubt, have a Whig majority.

Important nu«l Interesting News. Our Express Mail slips received yesterday morn ing, bring us the news of the revival of the Cana da war! The rebellion seems to have broken out with great violence, and a bloody and pro tracted struggle will, no doubt, ensue. Wo ex. tract the following from the slips of the New York Express and Herald:— Canada War Renewed. From the Burlington Free Press, Nov. 5. We have to announce the important and thril ling intelligence that the Canadian population k again in arms. The news by last night’s boat is, that a general and simultaneous rising of the French population on this side of the St. Law rence, has taken place, and that several small posts had fallen into their hands t they had made prisoners of the soldiers stationed at Napierville, and secured a considerable amount of arms and ammunition. Bt. Johns, it was believed, would he attacked last night, by a strong force, estimated at seven or eight thousand. The utmost consternation pre vailed at St. John’s, yesterday, and every means ■was put in requisition for the emergency. Capt. Price’s sloop, the Daniel Webster, we understand, ■was not permitted to leave the port. Several o' our citizens went down last evening. This movement is said to lie headed by Robert Nelson, Cote, Gagnion, Hotchkiss, and several foreign military leaders. All accounts speak of arms, ammunition, and men in abundance. From the Montreal Herald — Extra. Monday morning, Nov. 5, 1838. The events we have so often predicted, are now matter of history—the Canadians have again risen in open rebellion, evidently under more effi cient organization, and Martial Law was yester day proclaimed in this province, for the second time in the short space of twelve months. Most alarming intelligence reached town yesterday forenoon, that the whole country was in a state of insurrection, and that many loyalists have been murdered in cold blood, in the county of Acadie. Further accounts but 100 painfully corroborated the previous rumor, and a considerable body of troops was despatched to that county. The steamer Princess Victoria, which took over a de tachment of the Royal Artillery, on Saturday afternoon, to Laparaire, was twice set on fire by the rebels while at the wharf, but fortunately es caped without much injury. The loyalists in Lapraire, had ton minutes no tice to leave the village, and getting on hoard the steamer Brittania, they iiave arrived in town in safety. Yesterday morning, about 3 o’clock, a party of 400 rebels attacked the house of Mr. L. Brown, at Bcauharnois, and, after about twenty minutes fighting, Mr. Brown, Mr. Ellice, jr.M.P. Mr. Norval, Mr. Ross, and the other Constitu tionalists surrendered themselves prisoners, and nothing more at present is known of their fate. Mrs. Ellice, Miss Balfour, and the other females in the house, at the time, took refuge iu the cel lar during the engagement. Mr. Brown and Mr. Ross, arc both wounded. Yesterday forenoon, an Indian woman at the village of Caughnawaga, who was seeking for a stray cow, discovered a large body of armed men in the woods, and gave information of the circum stance to the Indians, who were then assembled at church. They immediately seized what arms they could procure, such as muskets, tomahawks, and pitchforks, and giving the wharhoop, charged their foes, who scampered off as fast as they could, throwing down their arms as they fled. Seventy five were taken prisoners, and brought into town, handcuffed, by the Lachine cavalry. A conside rable number of arrests were made yesterday, among whom arc L. M. Vigor, the President of the People’s Bank; D. B. Vigor, an ex-Legisla tive Counccllor ; Charles Mondelet; John Done gam ; C. S. Cherrier, and a great many other leading rebels. The Volunteers were ordered out, and vied with each other in doing their duty with alacrity. They were appointed to search every suspected house in the city and su burbs fur arms, and they brought in a considera ble supply. It was remarked that in Canadian houses, there were very few men to l>c seen, and it is sup posed that th y arc not far off. The gates of the dif ferent barricades were closed, and strong picqucts placed to guard them. Reinforcements of troops were sent to various quarters of the district. At Bcauharnois the rebels took possession of the steamer Brougham, on her way to Lachine, with the mail on board. It is currently reported that during the engagement, Mr. John McDonald, while leading on a party of Dragoons against the rebels, was shot dead, live bullets having pierced his body. His Excellency Sir John Colhome, arrived yesterday morning in the John Bull, and issued the following Proclamation. PnOVINCE OF } . ~, Lowe,, Canada, By His Excellency, Sir John Colhome, Knight Grand Cross, of the Moat Honorable Military order of the Bath, Administrator of (ho Gov ernment of the Province of Lower Canada, Lieutenant General iu Chief of Her Majesty’s forces in the said Province, &c. A PKOCLAMATION. Whereas there exists in the District of Montre al a traitorous conspiracy, by a number of persons, falsely styling themselves Patriots, for the subver sion of the authority of Her Majesty, and the de struction of the established constitution and gov ernment of the said Province ; and whereas the said traitorous conspiracy hath broken out into acts of the most daring and open rebellion ; and whereas the said rebellion hath very considerably extended itself, insomuch that large Itodies of armed traitors have openly arrayed themselves, and have made, and do still make, attacks upon Her Majesty’s subjects, and have committed the most horrid excesses and cruelties. And whereas in the parts of the said District in which the said conspiracy hath not yet broken out in open relrcllion, large numbers of such per sons, so calling themselves Patriots, for the execu tion of such their wicked designs, have planned means of often violence, and formed arrangements for raising and arming an organized and discip -1 lined force, and in furtherance of their purposes havp frequently assembled in great and unusual numbers; and-whereas the exertions of The Civil Power are ineffectual for the suppression of the aforesaid traitorous and wieked Conspiracy and Rebellion, and for the protection of the lives and properties of Her Majesty’s loyal subjects. And whereas the Courts ol Justice in the said District of Montreal have virtually ceased to exist, from the impossibility of executing any legal pro cess ol arrest therein, and whereas ns the public safely requires that Law Martini should bo exer cised; NOW THEREFORE, I have thought fit, by and with the advice and consent of Her Majes ty s Executive Council of this Province to issue this Proclamation to the end that it may be made manifest, that I shall arr -st and punish, and cause to be arrested and punished, all persons who have hitherto, or who now or hereafter may be in any wise acting, aiding, and assisting in the said Con spiracy and Rebellion, and who hereafter may lie in any wise acting, aiding, or assisting in any other conspiracy and rebellion within the said District of Montreal, according to MARTIAL LAW, either by death or otherwise, as to me shall seem right and expedient, for the punishment of all rebels in the said District. GIVEN under my Hand and Seal of Arms, at the Government House in the city of Mon treal, in the Province of Lower Canada, the fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Thirty-Eight, and in the second year of Her Majesty’s Reign. By His Excellency's Command, Tiios. Lkigii Goidix, Acting Secretary of the Province. The Montreal Light Infantry, is ordered to meet this day, at 1 o’clock, precisely, at the Mon treal Bank, and it is essentially requisite that the muster be not only numerous, but punctual. Let not a single man absent himself, or be behind the hour. The Volunteers are all placed, from yes terday, on full and permanent pay, with allow ances, the same as the soldiers of the line. We understand that Sir John Colborne, has sent to the Lower Provinces, for additional aid. >-- - - - The Winchester Virginian says that a violent assault was made on W illiam Brent, a citir.cn of that place, on Friday last, by a negro man suppo sed to be a runaway, under the following circum. stances: Mr. Brent had been out on a hunting excur sion, and was returning home through a woods, but a short distance from town, accompanied by two little boys, when he came across the negro, who was lying asleep on the ground, covered with leaves. He awakened him, and after some conversation, the negro desired hint to show him the way to town, when Mr. B. told him to follow him, and unsuspectingly went on, the negro fol lowed, close behind. He had not proceeded far, however before his ride was suddenly wrenched from his shoulder by the villain, who knocked him down, and then indicted five or six severe stabs with a dirk upon his body. Before the alarm could be raised, the. negro made his escape and has since eluded all search. Mr. 1). was conveyed to a neighboring farm house, where he is still ly ing in a very critical situation. The condition of the Money market and trade of Philadelphia is thus referred to in Bickncll’s Reporter of last week. The favorable change in the Money Market noticed in our last, has not been permanently sus tained, although the fading generally is much bet ter than it was a fortnight nice. Hope and con fidence with regard to the future continue to strengthen. Business is still /cry animated, and ships continue, to arrive from England and France, laden with (lie rich and costly products of those countries. Our canals and reil-roads arc still characterised by all the signs of life and activity ; and will so continue until the gold weather has permanently set in. Philadelphia was never in a sounder or more wholesome condition than at this moment. A bankruptcy of any serious extent has not occurred for months; wliile the transac tions which daily take place between business i men, are of a character to show that here at least , commercial credit is still of the most unblemished 1 kind. New buildings are springing up in the , outskirts, and real estate of every description with . in the immediate limits of the city and county, it , still advancing, or if not advancing commands fan . if not iilteral prices. Towards the north am , northwest in particular, these cheering indication s arc especially visible—indeed, we cherish the be lief that eight or ten days hence there will not Ik half a dozen lots vacant ground, on either of tin • streets between Race and -Spruce streets, runtime | from the Schuylkill to the Delaware. Philadel : phia is already a great and growing city ; hut un , less we greatly mistake, her palmiest days are ye! . to come. From the Mobile Commercial Advertiser. ’ AI.AII.MIVO STATIC OF AVFAIKS IN MISSOIIIU ■ —Slips from St. Louis of the Ist inst. were re ’ ccived yesterday, which were, filled with details statements of the Mormon difficulties on tin ’ Western frontier. The storm which has beei , for some time gathering has burst forth— civil ' war has commesckii, iilooi> spirits,and grea t consternation end excitement prevails throughon the. Slate. We publish below some extracts [ which will show what these fanatics arc doing j and the intense excitement which ticrvadcs tin State. I From the Missourian. Tub Mohmovs—Worse Tuorntr,.—An ex press to the Governor passed through this phici on Wednesday, hearing authentic intelligence o renewed aggressions on the part of this devilisi t or deluded people. We have not room for tin various depositions, (copies of which arc in oui ■ office) and must needs content ourselves with t - relation of their substance. They are, to the es i feet, that men, women and children are driver from their homes and their beds on Davies, inti the snow of the prairies—sometimes withou' , even the preparation of shoes for the young ones I Houses have been burned—the county town ’ (Gallatin) was burned, (including the Post Office and County Treasury)—the civil magistrates an defied, and the sword and the scymctar arc made to represent alike the law and the fact, —the right and the remedy ! We have done with counsel, because it might lie again unheeded, if not rebuked—and wc hence • conclude our notice with a copy of the letter of ti respectable subaltern, addressed to the Comman der.in-(Jhief. His name is withheld in consider ation, alone, of the Terror of the Times —but wc have his written authority to give it up to any one who may feel himself aggrieved. Even the liesl disposed people may leant, anon, that devils can only lie fought with fire. hxtracl of a letter to the Governor, from Davies Count//. Sir—l deem it my duly, made so not only from | the law, as an officer, hut also as an individual, | to report and make known to your Excellency, I the unheard <>l, unprecedented conduct, and high* I I handed proceedings of the Mormons of this and I c Caldwell county, lieing myself ona of the sull’orers. 1 On Monday, the 16th insl., wo learned that i 1 the Mormons were collecting in Far West, for , the purpose of driving what they termed the mob I from Davies; by which we understood the eiti- , , r.cns who are not mormons ; and accordingly they i have come and onr worst apprehensions have , c bean already fulfilled, j 1 hey have plundered, robbed, ami burned i ;, every' house m Gallatin, (our country seat,) among the. rest our post office. They have driven 1 e almost every individual into the country, who are c now (lying before them with tlieir families—many 1 e of whom have been forced out without their or- , c dinaiy clothing;—their wives and little children '■ f wading in many instances through the snow, even , - without their shoes. When the miserable fami e lies are thus forced from their homes, they plun y der and burn their houses. This, they are making ! ti universal throughout the country. They have ■ j burned lor me, two houses. Think this not an II exaggeration—for all is not told; and for the truth 'f of all and every statement hero made, I pledge the honor of an officer and a gentleman, t P. S. The amount of property of various kinds i- stolen or destroyed at this time, is not less titan c $20,000, and the whole is still going on. r r From the St. Augustine Herald, we publish the following extracts from the MS. of the late Ge0..1. F. Clarke, Esq. Mr. Q. was n native of Florida, ami enjoyed opportunities of studying the character and marking the course of the Indi ans of an age back, ol whom we have ever had but meagre accounts. • • • • • Mounds of sand, not very large, hut evidently e formed by the hands of man, arc frequently found aliout the country. If these have been incmcn ol the dead, from their great age and deficiency ol preserving qualities, no organics are to be found s •*' them. A solitary occurrence, however, pre- I aents itself in favor of that belief. In searching one of them, 1 found a crucifix of six inches in length, on a cross of ten inches, both of brass, t and well wrought; and in the same place anuin ,f her of large jet lieads, which, no doubt, had formed a Catholic rosary, attached to the cross; hut no bones, or other vestige of man was there. Those - had certainly belonged to a Catholic missionary, hut might have got there by accident. lam more .. inclined to believe that those, sand-mounds were land marks, dividing the territorial claims of y tribes or clans, for they are generally found bear t< ing at cardinal points from each other, remote from ,j good natural land marks, and raised in eonspicu p vus situations. n Their mode, [the Indian] of preparing the dead v for burial is very remarkable. The chin of the [. corpse is bro’t down to the breast, the knees up to t the cars, the heels to the seat, and the arms across ,1 over the shins, forming ns round a hulk as possi n hie, and the whole well lashed with cords, to pro „ serve their situation and in this manner they ii were buried in a sitting posture. d * * * * j The intrepid bravery and tender affections of r , one of those Indians, are Mrikiisgly "VBTtfled in tbu, following anecdote, rawing toksn refuge for some time in the City of Bt. Augustine, and got the name of Peter, he removed his residence to ** Anastotia’s Island, which makes the harbor of s the city, employed as a hunter by Mr, Fish, an English gentleman, who owned that island, and who gave it celebrity h> llie culture of the sweet orange. Peter being absent, a party of his ene mies crossed the rive., surprised his habitation, and murdered his wits and two children. On his return he did not hesitate a moment on the course ! to pursue; he fastened up his house containing ‘ the dead, repaired to Hr. Fish's dwelling neat by, *’ to borrow a gun he knew that Mr. Fish had had ‘j made with a large, bore, expressly fur shooting ' ducks in large (locks. In tills Peter put an uu ’ common load of buck shot, and getting into his B canoe, proceeded up the river, all alone, about sis ‘ l miles to a creek on the main, os though instinct B had pointed out to him the way they went, lie | had not ascended tha creek fa*' when a distant smoke, curling above the forest, apprised him of ,s an Indian camp. He landed, and taking his j course through the woods of a hostile country, 1 discovered four Indian men sitting on a log side lC by side, and a fifth nearly, employed in cooking: !” he circled round so as to bring the fourin a range, ls crept up close, fired, threw down his gun, and 1 j rushed up with his tomaliawk. The report, the I fall of four Indians, and Peter’s presence, armed ,s with such a weapon and not very pleasant conn tenanee, were so sudden and impressive, that the * one who was cooking neither attempted defence II or fliglit, and became an easy prey to vengeance. ? 13y this time he found that one of the fallen was but wounded, and was endeavoring to reach his arms, but Peter had the advantage in being al ready armed.—On searching, he found the sculps of his wife and children stretched and hung out to dry, which he brought off, with several articles of his property they hud stolen, some of their arms, and the scalp of the five Indians ho had B . killed, the greatest of atrophies, in the conception ij of the Indians; returned home and buried his u . wife and children, thesame evening; and literally pined to death over their grave. This anecdote [L I had from Mr. Fish, who pointed out to me poor •it Peter’s grave. About the your 1750, a chief appeared among Ji) the Weminoles, named Beacoflue, who pitched his g, head quarters at Alachua, about seventy miles i ( , south west of Cit. Augustine. Noted lor his vio lent passions, active and vindictive mind, and that subtle cunning which constitutes, in savage conceptions, an essential part of the hero; and , c combining with the fears of ferocity, the sedue ,,p lions of oratory, he held supreme influence over u his people, and directed the whole to the point he 1C pleased. Jr This Indian hero, who was the king, and rnsy a he styled the founder of the Ueminole nation, had p. sworn prqietual enmity to the Spaniards; and n certainly gave them more uneasiness in Florida () than all other Indians; nor did he relax his ani lt mosity while the Spaniards continued in Florida , —until 1703. lint to the English, during their _ occupancy, until 1784, tie was a valuable ally. , e Nor did twenty odd years absence of the Spanish • e Government modify the virulence of his feelings l c towards them, for on hearing that those provinces lt were receded to Spain, he repaired to St. Augus tine for certain information ; and on being con vin lt ccd of the reality, he returned home meditating e vengeance. He had embodied a largo force, and ;l disposed for its march in a few days, when he j. was overtaken by a fever, that eventually saved much bloodshed. His violent exertions, in the c middle of summer, had been more than his advan „ ccd age of seventy could licar. Finding himself ;t fast approaching to the land of spirits he called „ for his two sons, Payne and Bowlegs, and having, in a long and pathetic speech, unfolded his plans to the former, who was to succeed him as king, * charged him to continue the expedition he had on foot; and closed with requiring of him to kill o for him fourteen Spaniards, saying that himself I, and kindred had, with their own hands, killed ', eighty six, and that without the completion of | i !■ ~ , tlu>. huiulml, he ami they had vowed to the (ireat Spirit, their spirits could never rest in peace. Payne, who succeeded hint, was of another character, mild, hut deeided, and noted for wis dom and veracity, ho pursued other measures. His care was the happiness of his people; and his examples and councils soon relaxed, in a great measure, the savage ferocity of his warriors the conduct and precepts of his father had so greatly increased. The hatchet tilled against the return ing Spaniards was laid by ; and with his prineipal men, Payne repaired to St. Augustine, on a friend ly 'isil, at the first invitation from that govern ment, where ho was received with great cordiality. Talks were exchanged, presents made, and a general meeting at Pensacola to form a treaty of incorporation, arranged; and which treaty was concluded on the first of June, 1784. The history from that period would afford hut little of interest to the present object. A few jKirtinl’liniili with live Spaniards; some scenes of rapine ami bloodshed with southern frontier in-" habitants of Georgia; and two invasions from tlie United States. They are now reduced to a handful of scattered, dejected, and extremely im poverished beings, more sinned against than sin ning.” J he following instances of Seminole heroism, however,,ore worth mentioning. In a skirmish between a party of Spanish troops and Indians, Tohopahnny, a chief, was severely wounded hy n load of buck shot. Ho got over it for some years, but becoming disordered from the effects of Ins wounds, ami it being the opinion of his friends that it would at. length occasion his death, he ex claimed, “It shall not be said that I was killed hy a Spaniard!”—and deliberately hung himself. Penhajo, a young man of respectable standing, had for years sought retaliation of another Indian who had killed one of his near relations—a for feit invariably claimed in such eases, whether death had been accidentally inflicted or hv design, and the non-obtainance of which entails disgrace on the family of the deceased, while it disturbs the spirit in the distant country to which it has gone. Penhajo had made several long travels in vain; he could procure no tidings of his enemy. His mother became impatient, and upbraided him in public with want of energy in seeking the . tribute due tire departed spirit, and her feelings. She railed him an old woman: the most indignant epithet of the Indian language that can Ire applied to a warrior; (the harangues of old women com mand great respect, and have much influence on youth. Penhajo, having coolly heard her through, brought out Iris rifle, and replied that there was nothing now left, for him, hut to prove, hy sending his spirit to keep company with the deceased, that he hail done all ho could"; and Ural lie was not an old woman, hula warrior; he should therefore leave to some one of his younger, hut more fortu nate relatives, to seek the[rovengo fate hud denied to him. And immediately putting his toe on the trigger, launched himself into eternity. During the invasion of East Florida, in 1812, while the City of St. Augustine was besieged, the enemy marched to tire reduction of the Indian I settlements of Alachua, and had entrenched him self m that section of the province. King Payne called a council of his principal warriors, but finding that dismay at their hopeless situation jK'rvadsd the whole, he thus addressed them: It In true, rrr, hare 1,0 assistance V> CXpeCt from the Spaniards, nor quarters from tlur enemy, who is too powerful for us to withstand; such, then as wish f„ move off and abandon their nil may do so, and ought to do so quickly. But it shall not he said that the son of Heeoffee deserted his lathers grave. To-morrow I will attack their cnlrem Inncnl with such as may follow me. I may full, hut not with disgrace.” About one hundred followed him to the field; they assailed the enemy three times, mid were as often beaten baek; and finding that he could not bring on his men the fourth time, he rode up and down within the lire cl the enemy, courting support from the one side; or death from the oilier; and in this act was shot from his horse. His men then rushed on to the recovery of the body, which they ef fected, and fled precipitately. Hueli men, under other circumstances, would fire the magazine, rather than give up the ship. ITrt itti n States Sunatoii.—The result of the special elections in this Htate for members of the Legislature nettles the question as to a United Htales Senator, hikl if the Whig members are united, Mississippi will he represented by a Whig iii the 17.
