j' 1 Mormon War.
I An extra has been issued from the office of the
Missouri Watchman containing the evidence
Upon which the governor has ordered out the
troops. It contains letters from various respecta
ble sources, all tending to substantiate the ac.
eognts published in to-day’s paper. The, latest
and most authentic rumor is, that a skirmish has
WLtmtfP between the Mormons and citizens,
near the line of Ray county, in which ten of the
eitisens were killed and a number taken prisoners*
The Republican adds, that there arc so many re
ports that it is almost impossible to know what
tkbelieve or what to reject.

I A letter from an officer of the army, dated
Athens, Tenn., Nov. 5, states that a small party
of mountain Creeks rose on the guard which was
conducting them to head quarters for emigration,
killed two soldiers wounded a third, and made their
escape. A general movement of the whole dispo
sable millitary force was begun against the moun
tain districts under the gallant Col. Foster. The
revolted Indians are not formidable; and the cir
cumstance is to be regretted only as staining with
bloodshed an emigration that has been so skilful,
ly and ably conducted until now, with none but
happy consequences.
Lake Erie—Great Loss of Property.
On Monday night of last week, says the N. Y.
Express of .he 12th, there was a severe gale on
Lake Erie, which, according to a postscript in
the Buffalo Star, sent 13 schooners, one steamboat,
and one brig, upon the Ohio shore, between Dun
kirk and Grand River.
The loss is probably greater than any which
has ever occurred upon the Lake in any one gale.
The Hamilton (Tenn.) Gazette relates the pro
ceedings connected with the condemnation and
pardon of a regular soldier of General Scott’s
in the Cherokee country. He was a private in the
3d Artillery, and had been found guilty by a Court
Martial, of a violation of the ninth article of the
.rules of war: the sentence, death, by’ shooting.
The President, however, granted a reprieve, but
th|| commanding officer of the regiment bad him led
out, at the Agency’, at the hour first appointed by
the Court Martial. Before] a large concourse of
people, he was solemnly’ conducted to an open
grave, beside which was placed a coffin. The ex
pected victim was made to kneel dowm and submit
to a white cap over his eyes. Twelve aimed men
in a file were drawn up in within a few paces, and
the usual signal of the sword given by the officer
to Fire ! But lo ! the victim remained unscathed,
to the great mistification of all present except three
acting officers of the day. The scene closed with
the reading of the President's reprive, and an order
to the subject of his mercy to quit the army.
Canadian Exiles.
I ’
The schr. Perseverance, from Bermuda,having
on board a number of those who w ere exiled by
Lord Durham from the Candas, arrived in Hamp
ton Roads on Thursday, the Bth inst. Among
’ the exiles arc Dr. Nelson, the most prominent of
the insurgents, and Dr. Bouchet, editor of the
Quotidine, published in Montreal, and eight oth
ers of lesser note. They have gone on to the
North.
These were the persons, to prevent the arrival
‘of whom in this country, and their return to Ca
nada, Col. Clive, of the British Army, was rccenf
; ly despatched, express, from Canada for Bcrmu
; da. The movement is of course too late.

Massachusetts Election.
Local excitement appears to hav6 augmented
the Loco Foco vote somewhat in this State ; but
the result is better than was anticipated. In 170
towns the vote for the Gubernatorial ticket stands
as follows
Everett, (Whig) 37,756
Morton, (Loco Foco) 30,949
The Whigs have succeeded undoubtedly in
> elqfcting ten of their candidates to Congress, viz •
I Messrs. Fletcher, Adams, Saltonstall, Hastings
t 1 ’
> Cushing, Lincoln, Calhoun, Alvord, Reed and
Briggs. Henry Williams, V. B. is elected in
1 Bristol District, and in Middlesex District there
is probably no choice. Saltonstall’s (Whig) ma-.
, jority in the Ninth district is about one hundred] 1
In Essex County the Whig Senatorial ticket
is elected. In Norfolk County there is no choice.
In Suffolk all the regularly nominated Whig
Senators are elected.
In the towns heard from, exclusive of Boston
lOd Whig and 45 Loco Foco representatives

regular i ory Custom-House and Tost Office
ticket, containing among others the names of eight

From the New Orleans lice, Nov. 12.
, Important Irom Texas.
Texas is involved in hostile commotions with
the bands of fierce and intractable Indians, that
hover on her frontiers. The Houston Telegraph
of Nov. 3d, states that 10 Americans have lately
been killed within three miles of Bexar, and six
Mexicans captured almost in the precincts of that
, city, by a large body of Commanches. ’These
Indians made their appearance near Bexar on the
20th ult. Being discovered at a distance, and
immediate notice being given, a party of thirteen
went out to reconnoitre. Having proceeded a
. few miles, several Commanches were discovered.
General Dunlap proposed to retire to the tindicr
and fight under cover, but Col. Cage, who had
been wounded by the Indians a few weeks previ
ous, was anxious to engage there at whatever dis
advantage. The party was soon attacked in the
open prairie, by more than a hundred Indians.
An attempt was made to charge through the sava
ges—this succeeded, the Indians making way for
them; but as soon as they had passed, the enemy
closed in behind them, and killed eight out of the
thirteen with a volley of arrows and spears. Four
out of the remaining five were wounded, and
reached Bexar with great difficulty. The next
day, the bodies of the eight Americans, us well
as those of two survivors who had been killed out
of a party of five, attacked by the Indians the day
before, were discovered, brought into Bexar and
decently interred.
The Commanches W'crc still in the vicinity of
Bexar—they had expressed their determination
to exterminate the white citizens, but to spare all
the Mexicans unless they resisted them. The
Telegraph calls loudly on the government for
prompt, decisive and energetic efforts, to crush
these merciless savages. He says:
“ The present is a most opportune season to
carry on an expedition into the Comnranche coun
try—the buffalo arc returning from the north—
the air is mild and bracing, and the Musquit grass
offers an inexhaustable supply of pasturage. The
Mexicans, who have undoubtedly instigated them
to this measure, can afford no aid, as they arc
compelled to concentrate all their disposable force
on Vera Cruz and the sea coast, to prevent the
expected attack of the French. A small force of
mounted men could, therefore, at this time, easily
penetrate into the very heart of the Commanche
country, and extort from them a peace that would
be proof even against Indian treachery.”
The Commanches are nearly the only tribe of
any magnitude which exhibit such a direct hos
tility to the Tcxians. The Lepaus, Cronkewas,
and Tonkcwas, arc nevertheless enemies of the
Mexicans, whom they attack and massacre on all
occasions. They arc friendly to the Americans.
Castro, the chief of the Lepaus, is now at St.
Marks, with the main body of his tribe, and has
recently made several visits to Bexar, to obtain a
small force of our citizens to accompany him in
an expedition against the Commanches.
A letter from Gen. Rusk, dated San Augustine,
October 23d, 1838, addressed to Mr. Parker gives
a detail of a recent engagement with the Indians,
near Fort Houston. We subjoin the following
extract :
“ On the 14th, I arrived at Fort Houston, hav
ing been joined by Major Mabbitt and several
men having fallen in on the way and at Fort
Houston, my force amounted to about two hun
dred men. I immediately took up the line of
march for the enemy’s camp, by the way ot the
Abudacha village ; and about sundown on the
15th, arrived at the Kickapoo town. I here en
camped for the night. About 10 o’clock the ene
my attempted to lire the woods around us,but fail
ed. During the night, two of their spies were
fired upon by the, sentinels, and one horse taken
from them ; and at break of day the next morning
(the 16th,) a spirited attack was made upon three
sides of our camp. The enemy’s cavalry were
stationed on a hill, out of gun shot, evidently
with an intention to full upon us, if we attempted
to retreat.
A very brisk fire was kept up on both sides for
about fifteen minutes, when I ordered a portion of
the force to remain and protect the camp, and with
the remainder charged the enemy, who precipi
tately fled, leaving eleven dead on the. ground.
They had, I have iio doubt, during the action,
carried off a number of their dead (which is their
custom,) and all their wounded. From the blood
upon the ground,they musthavc suffered severely.
The charge was continued for about three quar
ters of a mile, when I formed the force, and
marched them hark to camp. The force of the
enemy I hud no means of ascertaining, but it must
have been very considerable, as the ground occu
pied by them was near half a mile in length.
We had eleven men severely wounded—none
killed, and about twenty-five or thirty horses so
badly shot as to be unfit for use. Amongst the
enemy’s dead w’ere found Caddos, Cooshalties,
Boloxies, one Cherokee and two Mexicans. They
dropped on their flight, guns, blankets, cloaks,
&c. It would he difficult to find language to do
justice to the officers and men; all fought with a
spirit and determination seldom equalled. The
officers in the action were Adj. Gen. McLeod ;
Maj. Kaufman, Maj. Rcilcy, and Maj. Burton,
volunteer aids-de-camp, Major Walters and Mab
bitt; Captains Box, Bradshaw, Snivcly, Smith,
Williams. Durst, Saddler, Brookfield and Brown.
Very respectfully, yours,
THOMAS J. RUSK,
Maj, Clen. Cum.
Since this engagement, the alarm in Houston
has neaily subsided. The Indians are retiring
northwardly. Gen. Rusk, says the Telegraph,
has just raised a new corps of mounted men at
San Augustine, and will proceed immediately to
rejoin the troops at Fort Houston. We under-i
stand he intends pursuing the retreating savages I
to their villages. Gen. Felix Houston passed
through San Augustine, some days since, on his
way to join the army under the command of Maj.
Gen. Rusk.

Fire. — About 2 o’clock yesterday morning, a
fire broke out at the corner of Garrison and Saint 1
Claude street', in thotir t municipality. From trie 1
inertness of by-slanders, and by the force of the
t» ind, the flames soon extended, and in about two
hours, ten front buildings and four tenements in
the rear wore destroyed, and about twenty families
deprived of a home. We do not know how the fire
caught. The loss may be set down as between fif
teen and twenty thousand dollars,

The Mormons—Alarming.
The difficulties with these fanatics appear to he on
the increase. The St. Louis Republican observes,
‘dt e have lately conversed with several Intelligent
individuals from the vicinity of the Mormon distur
bances,and whilst wc have found it difficult to arrive
with any certainty at the truth concerning many
things, we are well assured that the hostility is more
deeply roused than is generally supposed, and wc
feel assured that bloodshed and devastation only will
terminate the struggle, unless the Mormons remove
from the country. It seems that this sect have be
come so thoroughly obnoxious, that many respecta
ble individuals are engaged in the attempt to expel
them. On the other hand, the Mormons appear de
termined to retain possession of the counties they
inhabit, and to resist all attempts at their expulsion.
Under those circumstances a sanguinary struggle
may he anticipated.'’ The following letter, publish
ed in the Republican, throws some additional light
upon the subject
(’n hoard of the steamer Astoria, >
below Jefferson city, Oct. 2b. \
Dear Major—l hasten tocommunieate intelligence
which 1 received a few minutes since (from an un
questionable source) at Jefferson city, viz. Colonel
Reese, of Richmond, Ray county, had arrived with
an express to the Governor, to call out the militia to
march in defence of Ray and Richmond. The Mor
mons had devastated Davies county, burning the
county seat, and most of the houses in the county
and were then marching on Richmond to burn and’
destroy it. Colonel Reese, bad, but a few hours be
fore wc landed, returned, anil orders wore promptly
issued by Governor Hoggs, for 3000 mounted men to
repair to the scene of war. The troops below arc to
rendezvous at Fayette, and march immediately.
The Mormons have been for many days hauling in
com and other supplies to their great depot Far
West. They have been reinforced by many hun
dreds lately from Ohio and the Canadas—refugees
and Mormons. Do not believe that these disturban
ces arc “humbugs.” There are serious and danger
ous difficulties now pending. The writer of this
has every opportunity to know these facts, as he was
an eye witness in Caldwell,having been out witli the
troops. Mormonism, emancipation and abolitionism
must be driven from our State.
Wc, the exposed frontier men, have enough to
contend with to protect our shamefully exposed fron
tier, without having to combat with the safe of the
eastern degraded and fanatical rabble thrown with
the “poor Indians,’' on our border. Forbearance
no longer can be exercised. If the Government will
not I protect us we will do it ourselves.
The “Missourian” of the 27th Oct. has a letter
dated the 25th, which mentions that the Mormons
had attacked and cut to pieces Captain Regard’s
company of fifty men. Their force was estimated
at 3or 4(10. The amnexed letter confirms this ap
palling intelligence.
Carrolton, Oct. 25,1838.
Gentlemen:—News of an appalling nature has
just reached us. Capt. Regard, who was ordered
with his company to guard the frontier of Ray coun
ty, was attacked and cut to pieces by immense num
bers. They were overpowered by 3 or 400 Mer
mans, while they were guarding their own frontier.
But five minutes ago, three reports of a cannon were
heard in the direction of Richmond. Firing has
been heard in various directions, and there is no
doubt but that these infatuated villains have attack
ed Richmond.
The news of their burning and pillage has already
reached you. They have indubitably eaptured the
cannon, and taken many prisoners—probably killed
many. Daviess county is a scene of desolation.
Ray is probably so ere this time; and their next
movement will be at this place, it is already threat
ened.
Re up and doing. Bring ail the men you can, and
let us chock them in their course of destruction and
devastation. They arc moving on with giant strides
to the climax of anarchy, civil war, and desolation.
Wolf and Raker, will explain all. I have just re
ceived orders, by express, from (fen. Brig. Parks, to
raise 150 mounted men. Fifty have volunteered,
and the remainder I will obtain in a day or two.
Stir the people up in Howard and Chariton. Rend
all the braves you can with Wolf, and wc can meet
and check them in their mad career.
Yours in haste,
WM. CLAUDE JONES.
ToCongravc Jackson and others.
If the 3000 mounted men alluded to in one of the
preceding letters, repair immediately to the scene of
these outbreaks, and art with decision and energy,
we sec no reason to doubt but that they will be
quelled. It appears, from wbatcan gather, that the
entire Mormon force amounts to no more than a
thousand armed men, if as many. We are surpris
ed that they should been suffered already to accom
plish so much misclnef, without check or interrup
tion.

Wc have no Inter papers from Lower Canada,
but Kingston, Upper Canada, papers have readi
ed us of the 7th inst., at which time all was quiet
in that province, though the Government was ta
king measures to meet any emergency which
might arise, amongst which may be cited the in
crease of its naval force on the Lakes. It will he
seen by tire order which we copy below that all
British naval officers resident in Canada and de
sirous of serving in the provincial marine, have
been called upon by the Commodore, to acquaint
him with their intention.
Wc are happy to see that the United Stales’
officers and troops arc also on the alert to preserve
our neutrality.
The letter from our correspondent, at White
hall, gives the details of another skirmish which
lias taken place near Odlclown. It is remarkable
as shewing that the people themselves are opposed
to the views of the invaders, the latter having
been twice attacked by the militia of the district,
acting without any regular troops. These, how
ever, are now on the scene of action, and will it
is probable at once put an end to the inroads
made on our neighbors.
[Correspondence of the Courier & Enquirer.]
Whitehall, November 10, 1838.
Sir— ln my last I gave you the news of a skir
mish which took' place on Wednesday last. I
have now to communicate some particulars of a
conflict of a more serious nature on the following
day.
It would appear that Wednesday’s affair gave
the insurgents in Odletown and L’Ecole the alarm,
and they accordingly mustered in great numbers.
The loyalists of the same districts, who were also
on the qui vivc and somewhat elated, immediately
put themselves in readiness. The collision took
place near the main road, 10 miles northwest of
Champlain (lake) village, and within six miles
of Napicrville. A fire of small arms was com
j mcnced and supported for the space of an hour
| and a half when the powder becoming wet from
the incessant rain, a short and desultory conflict
at close quarters ensued, which resulted in the
royalists being driven from the field. The low
est estimate is thirty killed and wounded on both
sides, and from what I have been able to asc £
tain, there were something under two hundred
[ loyalists, (all volunteers and principally inhabit
j ants of the district,) and from three to four hun
j dred of the Patriots engaged. The latter were
! continually joined by numbers during the fight,
so that they hud many more men at the dose
1 than at the beginning of the conti^t.

mies.—The Trustees of this Institution,
have the pleasure to announce to the public, that
their Academies arc in’the most flourishing condition
and present to the public the most inviting induce
ments for the education of youth.
The male department is under the charge of Au
gustin 1 Aldcn. A. M.,the present Rector, who will
have an aide assistant for the English department.
Mr. Alden is known as one of the most successful
teachers in this state; his time during the ensuing
year will be devoted to the higher branches of the
classics, Mathematics, and Oratory.
Our female school has succeeded beyond our most
sanguine expectations. We consider our institution
inferior to none in the Southern country. Professor
Pierce, assisted by Miss White and others, have
charge of the Literary department. Their success
during the present year, we consider a sufficient
guarantee for an opportunity of obtaining in the
Madison Female Academy a finished education in
all the higher and substantial brandies of literary
knowledge. Mr. Daniel Chan, Professor of Vocal
ami Instrumental Music, having secured a competent
assistant, will be enabled to give the utmost satis
faction in his department. Such lias been the num
ber of pupils during the present year wishing musi
cal instruction, that hecould not accommodate them
all; this will be now obviated, and bis entire atten
tion to this department will be given. Disreputa
tion is firmly established.
Our village is quite healthy. Board can be ob
tained in the most respectable families at moderate
rates.
The tuition fees are placed upon fair grounds.—
We believe they are lower than at several institu
tions in our State, where opportunities for education
are not as good.
The Male school will open on the Ist, anil the
female on the fourth Monday in January next.

GEORGIA LIME WORKS,
THE subscribers respectfully inform the public
that they have commenced the manufactory of
LIME near Jacksonborougli,in Scrivcn county,(la.
They have extensive quames of Limestone, which
is considered by professor J. R. Lotting, State Geol
ogist, to whom the proprietors are indebted for the
information which induced them to embark in the
undertaking, to be of the very purest kind. They
have consequently erected large and substantial
Kilns in the most approved manner, and procured
men from the North who are perfectly acquainted
with the business. A portion of the Lime is now in
market and has been pronounced by Hie principal
builders in the neighborhood of Augusta,and others,
to be of excellent quality. The subscribers take
pleasure in inviting those who take an interest in
tlie developement of the internal resources of Geor
gia, to examine it, being convinced that the whole
United Slates cannot produce a more beautiful arti
cle.
They have now a quantity on hand, which they
will deliver at the mouth of Brier Creek on the Sa
vannah river, or at Augusta. Having extensive
preparations in progress, they expect to be able du
ring the next winter and spring to supply orders to a
very large amount ; and they have every reason to
believe that they will entitle themselves to the favor
and patronage of the public by producing a cliea(>er
and better article at home than can be found
abroad.
Orders will be received by D. Kirkpatrick & Co.
oriby Tbos. L. Smith at Augusta, or Jacksonboro’.
