AUGUSTA. )NDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER, 19. have been requested to state that circuna- ■ induce the belief that a murder, upon the hody of some unknown person, has been com ire. knitted, about seven miles from I.awrenceville, JJ 1 ' Gwinnett county, on the road leading to ni. tlllc. A fine large, spotted horse, has been found * near the road, killed and shockingly mangled, ■ and a fine saddle cut to pieces so as to prevent re- cognition. It is supposed that some traveller has \ been murdered for his money. r ! The papers in Georgia and Carolina are ro ll j quested to copy the above as it may lead to some d discovery. 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 have been elected. In Boston some half dozen representative tick ets were run—the Regular Whig ticket; the Lqual Lights ticket ; the Independent ticket. he Liberal Ticket; the Amory Hall ticket; the regular i ory Custom-House and Tost Office ticket, containing among others the names of eight colored persons. It is impossible to say, there fore, which ticket has been elected, but it is sup posed the regularly nominated Whig ticket. The Nashville ( Whig says,*‘A Bowie knife slaugh ter took place a few days since in ilolmesville, Miss Mr. Hobbs was the victim—Strother, the butcher. 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. A gentleman recently from Nacogdoches, brings information that Col. Potter was killed a few weeks since near the boundary of Arkansas. / - / From Vie N. 0. Courier, Nov. 14. 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, From the New Or jeans lire, Nor. 13. 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. From the X. Y. Courier If Enquirer, Nor. 11. t una da 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. m ———— t Captain Sherman brought over 400 regulars train St. John’s yestcrjUy, and lamb'd them at the Isle mix Non, whence they were to march in to the dmoftccted district this morning.

Warrenton, (la., November 17, IS3S. w it M adison male and female acade 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.

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.
