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.

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.

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 Borga, the Russian Ambassador, SI*A IV. Madrid papers aiflT*Tett era of the 30lh April, state that the muniripalists of the Spanish capitals and the National Guards have presented long messages to the Queen Regent, demanding the dissolution of the Cortes ns not representing pub lic opinion. The National Guard also request the dissoluli j,\ of the Ministry. General Qurro ga, who has returned to Madrid, recalled, it is said, by the Ministry, is supposed to be at the bot tom of this.

BaLTiMunF., May 30 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.” Correspondence of the N. F. Star. Paris.

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 in the Kingdom of France, the real Governor is 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- I mired, to-morrow, they arc raving about Made j muiseile Rachel’s cap; next day they may becn i raptured with Lady Granville’s gown—and the ' day after, if nothing newer hit, their fancy, he I aping at the wrinkles of Madlle.

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.” From the New York Commercial Advertiser. 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 12s. 2d..

P„ the re port was unanimously adopted. The Rev. Dr. Patton, of New York, the Rev. Dr. Ucainan, of 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 dazzling brilliancy of the great object, which they 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 perceive these shadows filling across the panora ma which their vast exertions presented ; and the clouds that came across it, from the East and from the West, but left the glorious luminary in greater spendour and relulgence. Hr. V utten of N. V, seconded the resolution, which was carried. Several other rev. gentlemen having addressed the meeting, a vote of (hanks was given to the noble chairman, and the immense assemblage separated. Tne meeting lusted upwards of five hours. Eihk at Louisville.— W'c learn from the Louisville Journal that a fire broke out on the 24th May, in the warehouse of Messrs. Pope, Havis A (-0., near the corner of Brook and Main streets, win h proved quite destructive. All the merchandise, consisting in part of 300 hhds. su gar, in the warehouse, was consumed, valued at I $23,00(1 —insurance $15,000. The dwelling ! house of (ieo. W. Bruce, occupied by W.

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," Consignees p<-r Month Carolina Hail Hoad.
