WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 6.
Macon’ Daily Aiivshtiskb. —Messrs. Pen
dleton and Hanlciter, editors and proprietors of
the Macon Post, have issued n prospectus for the
publication of a daily paper in that city. We
take pleasure in furthering their views by the
admission of the prospectus into our columns—
and in addition to extending to them our best
wishes for its success, shall be pleased to welcome
its reception. The honor, enterprise and public
spirit of the citizens of Macon, will we believe,
•*. extend to it, not that encouragement only,ncces
sary to its birth, but that efficient patroiragc and
support, essential to its subsequent existence and
sussess. The Prospectus may be found in our
News Room—where those who may wish to
subscribe, can place their names.
Florida.
It was but last week we published thn procla
mation of Gen. McComb, announcing the lermij
nation of the Florida War—and holding out at
the same lime the impression that danger was
no longer to be apprehended from the hostility of
the Seminole Indians. Scarcely a week has
passed, ere the tomahawk is again at work, and
the lives of others sacrificed to the undying enmity
of this small band of unconquerable savages.—
\Ve copy the following particulars of another
outrage and massacre from the Savannah Geor
gian, of the 3d inst.
On yesterday, we were favored with the peru
sal of a letter, flora a young lady in Florida to her
uncle in this city, which is dated the 29th ult.,
and came by the Florida, from Garey’s Ferry.—
The letter states that on the evening previous,
jjfct about sunset a body of Indians surrounded the
dwelling of a Mr. James Osteen, * at Alligator, and
shot him near his stable. He was instantly killed.
An uncle of the writer’s, Mr. Simeon Dell, who
was in the stable, made his escape to the house.
A sister of Mr. Osteen’s was shot through the left
side, and arm, but Mrs. O. and her children fled
to the nearest neighbor’s house.
Mr. Dell was now left in the house by himself,
and seeing the Indians approaching, he picked up
a stick, (as he had no gun,) and pulled open the
door—the Indians then fled. On searching the
house, however, he found a gun, when he returned
to the door and fired at the savages, who had come
up. They also fired, and hit him in the left side
above the breast. The shot entered the left shoul
der blade, and was taken out on the 20th. Mr.
Dell was doing well. One of the Indians had a
white feather in his head, and it was thought by
the settlers, that they were a party which they
had a fight with some time before at a place called
the Natural Bridge.
After the Indians left Mr. Osteen’s, they pro
ceeded to the plantation of Asa Roberts, about a
quarter of a mile from Mr. O’s—but that family
hearing the report of guns, had left for Mr. Zacha
riah Roberts’ place, where the Indians followed,
and destroyed all the poor people had, even ta
king their only horse.
It was thought that Mr. Dell had wounded one
of the savages, by their taking the horse.
It is truly melancholy to record these atrocities,
Jp —and that too after we had been led to expect
that the war was indeed over. We fear no treaty
can bind thesex,wretchcs —and that extermination
alone will stay their slaughtering—merciless arms.
* So written ; perhaps the name is Austin.
The New York Star stales that Mr. Leggett,
late editor of the Plain Dealer, is dead. He had
long been ill with the liver complaint, and final
ly sunk under it.—He was a vigorous writer,
possessing more talent than judgment, but as a
poet and a literary nun he held a distinguished
rank.
The State of Alabama is about to build a Peni
tentiary at Wetumpka, at a cost of $84,899.
The contract for its erection has been given to
Mr. Thomas, of Nashville.
The Richmond Compiler announces the death
of Joseph Tate, Esq’r., Mayor of that city, in his
44th year.
CoxxECTtct’T.—On the 28th ult., the Hon.
Thaddeus Betts, (Whig,) of Fairfield county,
was chosen U. S. Senator on the part of the Sen
ate, in concurrence with the House.
Still later from Europe.
By the arrival at New York, of the packet
ship Orpheus, from Liverpool, and the Burgundy,
from Havre we have advices from Liverpool to the
Bth, and Havre to the 9lh ult. We arc indebted
to the New York Star, for the following summary
by these arrivals.
It was reported the Great Western had arrived
at Bristol the 7lh.
Discern axcf.B nr Evglaxd. —The move
ments of the Chartists begin to excite serious ap
prehensions. Their private associations and
conventions have now changed to open assem
blages and military trainings with slicks, pikes,
&e. An appeal to arms is a common topic of
conversa'ion among these people. The Man
chester Operatives boast of each man having a
pike.
At Llanidloes, certain of their party having
been arrested, a general rising took place, and the
revolutionists armed with guns, pikes, &c. as
saulted the inn, rescued the prisi ners, and wound
ed many of the inhabitants severely.
VIUTVAL DKFIUr OF Mimstsis.— Resig
nation or Sfkakku A a k»ciiOMnr, —Ministers
virtually sustained a defeat on the Jamaica bill,
which they carried by only five majority in the
Commons, on Monday, 6th May : ayes 294. noes
289, which will prevent its going to the Lords.
The Speaker has resigned from ill health. It is,
however, surmised that he goes up to a peerage.
In this country, it would scarcely be credited
that a bill like that of the Jamaica lidl would be
hazarded by any Government profeesing common
feelings of humanity; but Great Britain having
committed the fatal error of a sudden emancipa
tion of her West India negroes, the cruelties to- 1
wards the planters must be continued to carry it
out. It was deemed that the imprisonment of
refractory apprentices by the Colonial Assembly
was carried too far, and neutralized the effects of
emancipation. The prison law was enacted,
therefore, by Parliament, t correct this abuse.
The Assembly, exasperated, refused to receive it,
and now Government propose to suspend that
body for live years, that a negro constituency may
grow up.
Spa iv.—By Madrid papers to April 27, we
learn that the provincial deputation on the 25th
presented an address to the Queen, praying the
dissolution of the t.'ortcs and dismissal of Minis- |
tors. It is thought neither measure will be
adopted by her Majesty.
Espartero, with an army of 27,000 men, had .
advanced as far as Nestosa on the 25th. His 1
right Hank was threatened by Maroto, with 9,000 i
men. All the disposable force of the Carlists had
been ordered to Biscay. Gen. Elio was at Es
tella, watching Diego Leon.
Tiif. Canadian Pbisonktis.— The Court of
Exchequer gave judgment May Gth, that the re
turn of the writ of habeas corpus was complete,
and that the men were in proper custody. They
will, therefore, be transported to a Penal Colony.
London May 8,1839. —1 n the House of Lords
last night. Lord Melbourne announced that he and
his colleagues had tendered their resignations to
Her Majesty's; that Her Majesty had accepted
their resignations; and that they held their offices
only until their successors were appointed.
In the House of Commons, Lord John Russel
announced the resignation of Ministers, and moved
that the House at its rising, do adjourn till Mon
day next.
Mr. Sergeant Talfourd moved the order of the
day for recommittal of the Copy Right Bill, but
at the suggestion of Sir R. Peel, the learned gen
tleman postponed the further consideration of the
measure till Tuesday next.
The House then adjourned at 5J o’clock, till
Monday next.
FRANCE.
The French journals are filled with conjectures
as to the course that will be pursued by the va
rious parties on the motion of M. Mauguin, for
an address to the King, and the probable result
of the discussion. The Constitutionncl says
that no one has yet been entrusted with the forma
tion of a Ministry, Marshal Soult having de
clared to several deputies that he had not been
invested with any such authority, and that there
fore he ought not to be charged with the delay of
which the Cnambcr of Deputies had complained.
According 10 the Courier Francais, of May 7th
Mr. Gaunerin had moved in the 9th Bureau of
the Chamber of Deputies, that all augmentations
proposed for the Budget of 1840, should be in
stanlly rejected on the ground that there was no
ministry with which they could be discussed.—
The bureau adopted the proposition unanimously
The departure of Count Mole for England,
where he expected to meet the hereditary Prince
of Russia, who had already arrived in London,
caused considerable suspicion in Pans. “The
Count,” says the Debats, “is generally known
to be a partisan of an alliance with Russia, and
is to some extent a creature of Count Pnzz.o de

the dissoluli j,\ of the Ministry. General Qurro

Great Hail Sen dm. — The sudden and ex
treme change in the temperature from heat to cold,
experienced on Tuesday night and Wednesday,
seems to have been caused by a hail storm of ex
traordinary violence. We learn that within a few
miles of this city the fall of hail caused limited
damage; but it will be seen by the following ex
tract of a letter, dated at Friendship, Anne Arun
del County, a small village about forty miles from
Baltimore and ten or twelve miles from the City
of Annapolis, that the icy shower was exceeding
ly violent in that vicinity :
“Fnir.Nnsiiip, (A. A. Co.) May 29,
“Yesterday we had one of the severest hail
storms ever experienced in this neighborhood,
which although not as violent in the immediate
vicinity of this village, was very destructive to
all the country southwest of us. Information has
reached us of several wheat fields having been
cut to pieces, tobacco beds ruined, barns, out
houses, and chimneys blown down, and all the
windows demolished. There never was such
destruction before; the hail laid in some places
six inches deep, and as large as the eggs of hens.
Every hour brings us fresh intelligence of dama
ges done to fences and trees, and of our neighbors
having lost hogs, calves, &c.”

Os the four Vice Presidents of the Chamber
of Deputies, three are of the opposition. Presi
dent Passy is of the Court party, and has beaten
Odillon Barrot. Passy has ratted. Dupin had
only nine votes—but he will be sent into the
Chamber of Peers,
The new cabinet has not been formed yet. In
the meanwhile the odinterim Ministers are the
Executive.—The King wid find it difficult to go
without Thiers, but I think he will try. Perhaps 1
the Ministry will include Soult as Minister of!
War and Premier; Due de Broglie Foreign As- !
fairs; Duchatel, Finance ; Teste, Justice;—Du
perre, Marine; Sauzet, Public Instruction; Cunin ,
Gridaine, Commerce; and Dufaure, the Interior
or Home Office. Such, at least, is a copy of a
list now in circulation.
The return of the Quarter's Revenue looks
well. Ihe amount is 152,493,000 francs, an in
crease over the April quarter of 1838, of nearly
five million francs.
I believe n great political change has taken
place in the Russian Cabinet. Count Nessel
rode, so long the foreign minister, is displaced.
All his adherents in diplomatic situations abroad
are to be removed. Count de Pahlen, the am
bassador here, is recalled. So is Count de Tatis
-1 fbeflT Irom Vienna. The new premier, vice Nes
selrode, will probably be Count Orlofif, Governor
to N icholas s heir, who has been peremptorily de
sired not to visit England. The ministers of
! Justice and the interior, at tSt. Petersburg!) have
been displaced. Nicholas thus taking the anti-
English and war power into favor, shows that he
disapproves of Nesselrode’s anti-war policy.
W hoever may make laws, and wear the crown

I Fashion. So has it been since the days of
Charles Martel—so will it be to the end of the
chapter.
One thing is requisite here—a female leader of
the Am. Under Napoleon the Emptess of the
drawing room was the excellent Josephine. In
der Charles X. the Duchess of Hcrri tilled that
station. Under Louis Philippe, there is scarcely
any one—certainly none recognized, ns they
were. The Orleans family arc not people of
fashion, the Duchess of Orleans is so only at
times. Josephine and the Duchess de Bern were
at all times. The toilette with its graces, were
their empires—fashion was their hobby, and they
i rode it well. At present, there is no one to lead,
—to day the Duchess of Orleans’ mantle is ad-

Thk Chops.— Accounts from all parts of the
State represent the crops generally to be in a
most promising condition. Should the season
continue favorable, the yield of cotton, tobacco
and corn will unquestionably much exceed that
of any preceding y ar. In portions of the State
complaints arc made of the ravages of the “Army
VVorm,” Their depredations have fallen hea
viest on the meadows, some of which they have
left bare. The rye and wheat crops have also
suffered from their attacks, hut not we apprehend,
to any very serious extent.— Nashville Banner.
From the Franklin Weekly Record.
The Army Woiim.—la this world there is
nothing like happiness unalloyed. Every plea
sure has its drawback ofpain, as every rose has
its thorn. The very promising condition of the
crops in this county, produced by one of the most
favorable seasons in the “recollection of the eldest
inhabitants,” has lately met a reverse as unexpec
ted ns it is annoying. The Eden which rejoiceth
the heart of the farmer, and of which we attempt
ed a faint description in a late number, has, like
the Eden of old, been invaded by an enemy; not
by a serpent as in the olden time, but by the ar
my worm, whose other “name is legion.” They
have attacked the stalks of wheat, which they
have not only stripped of their leaves, but in
some instances, have consumed the head also.
This admits of no alleviation. They have also
fallen upon the meadows, which, to use the lan
guage of an old friend upon whose green things
they have been pirating and fattening, they have
swept as clean us if the scythe had passed over
them. This is not without remedy, for the grass
will grow again, and no doubt (the year being
early) yield a good late crop of bay. We have
not heard of their depredating upon the corn to
any extent, and their assaults upon tne former ar
ticles, without being general throughout the
country, have had the effect to create much alarm
among our farmers, and fearful misgivings of
short crops—shorter at least than was anticipated
a week since,
Rkhvction (if letter pobtagk.— Wo ad
verted some time since to the propriety of redu
cing the rates of postage on letters, as a measure
likely to increase revenue whilst it would pro
mote to a great extent public convenience. That
a reduction of price would be followed by enhan
ced product cannot, we believe, he doubted, but
leaving this part of the question undecided, wi
de not regard the postage of letters as a legitimate
source of revenue, further than may he indispen
sable to defray the expenses of transporting and
distributing the mails. The design of the post
office department was originally, as we believe,
to circulate information and thus promote social
comfort and public convenience, and, regarding it
solely in lids point of view, wc can see no sulli
cient reason why the receivers of communiuHlions
through tins channel should bo taxed over and
above what they pay in a regular way for the ex
penses of the government. We hold lhatifsueh
a thing were practicable, without gross imposi
tion, it would he a part of the duly of lire govern
ment to provide for the transportation of intelli
gence free of cost. As such a thing however is
out of the question, i. is our opinion that the more
nearly we can approximate to it the hotter, ami i
that in reducing the rates of postage on o ch lot- '
ter a greater aggregate product would he afforded |
than under the present system. Added to this !
there would be the additional advantage that all j
classes in society would enjoy tile benefits of tho [
mails, whereas many are now debarred of friendly
intercourse by letter, through the high rates le
vied for postage, —Baltimore American.
Commodore PtiEiiLK.—ln Cooper’s Naval I
History of the United States is the following an
ecdote of Commodore Preble, illustrative of some
points in the character of that distinguished naval
officer:
“ Commodore Preble was a man of high tem
per and a rigid disciplinarian. At first he was I
disliked in his own ship—the young officers in j
particular, feeling the effects of his discipline,
without having yet learned to respect the high
professional qualities for which he afterwards he
came so distinguished. Onenightwhen the Con
stitution was in the Straits of Gthrahcr, she sud
denly found herself alongside of a large ship.— !
Some hailing passed withouteithei party’s giving j
any answer. Commodore Preble, who had taken j
the trumpet himself, now told the name and coun
try of his ship, and his own rank. 11c then de
manded the name of the stranger, adding that he
would fire a shot unless answered. If you fire a
shot I’ll return a broadside,” was the reply. Pre
ble sprang into his mizon rigging, applied the
trumpet, and said, —“this is the United Stalls
ship Constitution, a 44, Commodore Preble; I i
am about to hail you for the last time; if not an
swered, I shall fire into you. What ship is that!” |
This is his Britannic Majesty’s ship Donegal, a
razee of 00 guns.” Preble told the stranger ho
doubted his statement, and should lie by him till |
morning in order to ascertain his real character. •
He was as good as his word, and in a short time j
a boat came (rein the other vessel to explain. It |
•—■ - ■
was nn English frigate, ami the Constitution hud
got so suddenly and unexpectedly alongside of
her, that the hesitation about answering, uml the
fictitious name, had proceeded from a desire to
gain time in order to clear the decks and get to
quarters.
“ The spirit of Commodore Prehle on this oc
casion, says Cooper, “ produced a very favorable
impression in his own ship. The young men
pithily remarked that if he was wrong in his tem
per he was right in his heart.”

Religions Anniversaries in Knglnml.
The anniversaries were going on at the date of
our last advices. Wo have only room to-day for
0 a sketch of two prominent ones.
Weseeyax Missioxaiit Society.—The an
nual meeting of the Wesleyan Missionary Socie
ty was held on the 29th of April, in the great
room at Exeter flail. Mr. Plnmtreo took the
chair at 11 o’clock, when the hall was filled in
every part. On the platform were a number of
members of Parliament, and friends of the society
from all parts of the world.—From the report
read, it appeared that the society is still In » !
flourishing condition. The amount of the sub- j
scriptions received during the past year is £73,-
637, and the total amount of receipts JLHI 818 i

Troy, and many other gentlemen also addressed
the meeting.
The London Watchman of the 34th slates
that the contributions to the centenary fund ex
ceeded £200,000.
British axii Foueiox Biiile Society.—
The annual meeting of the above society was
held May 1, at Exeter Hall. Lord Bexley, pre
sided, supported by the Earl of Chichester, Lord
Harrowhy, Lord Mountsnndford, Lord Teign
mouth, the Bishop ot Winchester, the Bishop of
Chichester, the Bishop of (.'Hester, the Bishop of
Norwich, the Bishop of Ripon, the Bishop of
Vermont (U. 8.) The hall was crowded.
The noble Chairman, in opening the business
of the day, said when he looked round on the
crowded assemblage he felt great satisfaction at
perceiving that no diminution had taken place in
the attachment of the public to the British and
Foreign Bible Society—(cheers.) With respect
to their elforts for the past year, circumstances
had occurred which might lead to apprehensions
upon matters not immediately connected with
the operations of the society, but which might in
fluence its prosperity.
He was happy, however, to find that the im
portant objects which the society had to accom
plish had so far reconciled all hearts, that neither
j were its funds affected nor the extent of its oper
ations in any degree diminished. He believed
they would find from the report that in no year
had the operations of the society been more ex
tensive or more important—(cheers.) One in
stance of this they would allow him to mention;
it was a demand which had been made by the
Calcutta Auxiliary Bible Society for 10,000 co
pies of the Scriptures for the use of the natives—
(cheers.) This was one of those instances in
('which the operation of Providence was proved in
> turning events of tliis world, seemingly uncon
nected with religion, to the triumph of the Clos
; pel. The establishment of the English power in
' | the East was connected with political and niilitn
-1 ry causes apart from religious purposes, hut they
’ | had reason to hope, from the instance he hadjust
I | given, and from similar instances, that the seeds
■ | sown in Ihe early years of this society were hc
-1 ginning to spread abroad, and that they would
yield an abundant harvest—(cheers;) and they
had reason to hope and labor for the coming of
that time when the Redeemer’s kingdom would
he established in this earth—(cheers.)
The Secretary then read the report. It stated
that the receipts of the past year were £105,255
3s. 1 Id..being nn increase of £9,018 Is. over
those of tlie former year; and the expenditure
£106,509 sis sd, being an increase of £15,329
1 Is. fid, over that of last year. The number of
Bibles and Testaments issued was 658,068, be
ing an inercass of 63,670 over the number distri
buted during the preceding year. The report re
plied at great length to certain charges which
have been made against the society’s translations
of the Holy Scriptures into foreign languages.
The reading of the report called forth repeate d
cheers from the meeting.
The Bishop of Winchester moved thatllic re
port he received and printed, under the direction
of the committee. After adverting to the harmo
ny with which the proceedings of the society
had been carried on, he tendered, as an individual
deeply interested in the, welfare of the society,
his humble thanks to the committee, and he
thought lie would be joined by the meeting, for
their having taken the curliest possible notice,
and that in a straight-forward open manner, of
the charges which had been made against the
translations ofthe Holy Scriptureclfncted through
the society—(Cheers.)
When he thanked them for this, he felt he
wes hound also to (hank them for the tenderness
I with which they had touched so delicate a snb
j ject, and for the Christian spirit, the moderation,
the truly Christian love which characterized it.
(Cheers.) They did not pretend to vindicate
the verbal accuracy of the translations, but they
did say, and they were prepared to prove, that the
variations did not materially affect the integrity
of the word of God. (Cheers.) They might,
in the hands of u “cunning disputant,” as the
report expressed it, furnish matter for debate; they
| might .afford inferences in some cases for the ex
ercise of scholastic ingenuity, or the infidelity of
the philosopher; hut the babe in Christ might
still learn from these disputed versions to look up
to his God and Saviour; to learn to look to the
source of Divine, love for that comfort which the
Bible, granted by the British and Foreign Bible
Society, had brought to his heart; that comfort
which no other gift could bestow. (Cheers.)
The Committee had, in prosecuting these
translations, remembered that time is short, and
eternity is at hand ; that millions are, year after
year, passing into enternity ; perishing for lack
of knowledge—(cheers.) It was in these consid- j
orations that they found their justification for I
circulating versions which were not the best that |
might possibly he made What would have been
the consequences of waiting for such a verson of j
the holy writings? Had this feeling animated j
the fondness of the society, when they found hut !
5(1 copies of the Scriptures among a population j
ol 50,000 in Ireland—hail some one objected. j
“True it is, there are only 50 copies, hut we have . (
I not yet the best possible version”—what, he
would ask, would have been the present state of |
that country ?—(cheers.) To take a large field I
—Asia, with its 400,000,000 or 500,000,000 of j
inhabitants—(el eers.)
Sup; osem the vast fields of Asia, when, lie- j
fore tl c existence of the Bible Society, very few I .
i opics existed, such an objection had been valid ; j
-h n Id we then have had. as we now had. the i ■
i
n militants asking us to send them the waters of
0 o, that they might drink of salvation freely !
(cheers.) Ho asked the meeting to join with
hi ii. notin taking up the language of direourage
mont, hut iu looking forward with encourage
njent, and hope, and with prayer that the word of
frod might have its course and be glorified, spite
01 all the desires of Satan and the marjiiimtions
ol the wise of this world, and above all, in thank
ing (tod, through Jesus Christ, for the inestima
ble gift ol his word (ehcers.)
I he liov. Mark I’hillips seconded the resolu
■l >n which was carried unanimously.
Hishop Hopkins of Vermont (I . S.), moved
the next resolution, w hich, in substance, devout
ly acknowledged the goodness of Almighty (toil
in the operations of the society. The rev. gen
th'iu.m was frequently cheered during his addiess,
a very eloquent one, to the vast assemblage.
Lord (llenelg rose amidst loud cheers to sec
ond the resolution. However, he said, he might
hel in addressing an assembly of this nature, it
was yet with (uvuliar satisfaction that befell he ;
was railed <m to second the resolution proposed
by the rev. genlennui who had just addressed
them.
| That gentleman had told them he could scarce-
I ly venture to call himself the representative of
| t le episcopal church of the United Slates, hut he
; (Lord (llenelg), as a member of the elmrch ol
j England, was willing to hail him in that rapaci
|ty i hut, w ith reverence he would speak it, he
I h tiled that rev. gentleman in a still higher ca
p icily,—not as the representative of one demmi
i lation of Christians only in the United Slates,
hut as the representative of the large and mag
nificent constituency which, in every part of the
world conspired in the glorious confederacy which
they that day met to celebrate.
He asked not what their opinions we.e respcc
t ng this subject or that subject, not because they
f irgot their distinctions hut because they merged
t ion in one common cause —(cheers) ; not be
cause they renounced those diflerences, hut he
c iusc they fell they were lost in one great pervad
ing principle, that principle which rallied them i
heart and hand around the eross of Christ—j
(cheers.) He had listened to the icport which
had been read, with great interest; he had lis
tened to those able and admirable speeches they
hud heard, with great interest, hut he confessed,
he regretted that in those speeches the meeting
hod scarcely had their attention sufficiently called
to the really magnificent success of the great
cause—(cheojs). Tell him of distractions in
their internal economy—he it so. Tell him of
those who had separated from their banners—he
it so. fell him of those who assailed their doc
trines—he it so. All he asked was, what were
the resolutions of the society 20 years ago, and
what was the sphere of its operations now !
(ehcers).
Let them look hack to their resolutions from
year to year; they told one tale; they were
monotonous in their language of success mid
triumph—(cheers,) and the shadows to which
the report had alluded did hut serve to setoff the

could not obscure. They would he apt to forget
that such a thing ns disappointment was incident
to human nature, if they did not now and then

The Buffalonian says a booby “will talk of
what runs in his head.” This calls to mind the
reply of a celebrated English wit and poet, who,
being invited to dine with a lady in company of
others, indulged his waggish humor so far as to
offend her, and draw forth from her a curl of the
lip, and a positive declaration that she did not
regard him three skips of a louse I the reply
was—
“ A Indy once told me, ami in her own lions*,
Sbe did not regard me three skips of a louse ;
f forgave the dear creature whatever she said,
for woman will talk of what runs in her head,"
