whelming them with the extravagance of thei
Caresses, and, at evening, entertained then
a serenade and salute front muskets, am
treated them during their stuy with a prnfuafoi

ir.Tsiere were reported to ho at Matamorai
three thousand Irno/ts. three hundred of whom
nfooMHimiesomed officers, and, four hundred
imisicinua, «uu lira thousand more, under the
tjominand of General IJr.ivo, were dady expec
ted ; and tliese, soon lo hy augmented to the
timber often tliunsaud, are destined for a
(iompa gn, in the spring, against Texas. A
cargo of Homing bridges to facilitate their
traosp rtaffun over the rivers on their route,
had recently arrived form Campeche. It is,
however, confidently believed that this army
will never rorcli their destination, on account
of intimidation at the fate oftheir predecessors:
tfcis nmch, atleast, is certain, that the officers
have declared their intention not to proceed
fiirthef til their arrears of pay are received
anj adequatesnpplieaof prorislons arc furnish
ei for the Campaign; and the govern
ment ts not in a Condition to comply with those
demaii(lj. unless, indeed, it resul tto its usual
expciTicnt fur raising fun Is, on important oc
casions, namely, forced loans, which, in the
practice nfthi? country, means, to require of
the wealthy and foreign merchants, especiuily,
to furnish a specific sum, within « limited pe
riod, upon the security of drafts, which are not
always redeemed, on some department us one
of ilia provincial governments.
. y.unetliiiig of the material diameter of tins
force may be gathered from what has already
hecit laid,hut what n contrast docs it present to !
the volnniccr chivalry of Texas, when it is re-,
fleeted that it was collected by impressment,
and glyaumg their prisons? And s > little good
will do the soldiers bring to the service, that a
considerable portion of them were brought !
here liaml-cuffed in couples; and nolw.tli-1
standing (his precaution, numbers deserted on ‘
their way. Desertions arc still very frequent.
A very common method of recruiting in
this country, is to surround the gambling
houses, at the boars when they are must, fre- j
quented, by a tile of soldiers, sciz.o, bind and ,
pass out the unhappy victims, one by one, lo j
be marched to the rendezvous, or theatre of
operation, in the manner above described.
Aaiother is fur a troop of horsemen to proceed
from the city, furnished with a noose, in the
same manner ns when hunting wild cattle,
and seize the simple native ami husbandman,
who is likewise on horseback, on his return
from market. Thus ho is unexpectedly torn
from every louder relation, and carried, por
liaps, into a long exde. without an opportuni
ty of giving them intelligence of his fate.
And these are the wretched slaves lo light
the battles of “God and Liberty.”
Here, sir, allow me to observe, I have seen
this people; have observed their object servility
11 a few political jugglers, who arc riolingjupon
ifie spoils of successful intrigue. I have con
leinplatpil their national, individual and mu
ral degradation, and it has banished whatever
of Sympathy ( may have entertained for them

djwn wilhsnpremo co ielm il upon others No
reverses can humble, no comparisons mortify
them ; they cun never ho converted to and
most therefore become the conquest of liberal
priatip'es. The lido of enterprise is setting
in upon them from every dir ctmn, and as
limy cannot appreciate and avail themselves
of it, they nm-st ho overwhelmed, by it, ami

; “ There many reports in circulation, abom
® ! the damage done by the Indians, their nnm
* , her, &c. i hut many arc false. What I relate
V | may be relied on as facts j having obtained
r! my information from Major Cooper, who is
■, just from near the scene of action.
i, <ien. Wclborn, on last Friday anil Saturday,
y ; bad engagements with the Indians i but was
t j DKFKtTKII BOTH TIMBS, with lllC ll)S« of OBC

g j wounded, lie had 40 under command- Since
1 then, Iwo whites and four negroes have been
,j killed, and another w hite lost, supposed lo he
. 1 killed. Three plantations have been visited,
that were burnt s and, it is believed, that se
( vend oilier? have shared the same fate The
j number of Indims arc not known hut Oen.
1 | Wellborn thought, that there were not less
than 70 or 80—some have it, that there arc
’ .1 or 4, or even sor 600.—Capt. Page thinks,
* j that many have coma up from Florida ; and
■ j other reports say,that the friendly Indians have
- left the Camp. I cannot say whether this be
t so or not. Captain Jcrntgan, from Stewart,
4 has gone over, by this time, with a Company ■,
j and exertions arc made to start a Company
i ‘ from this place, on to-morrow morning. The
citizens in the country have been taken, as it
; were, unprepared. Many of them, as could
J conveniently do so, have left, or are leaving;
I and others, not having the convenience to
leave, or through fear of attempting it, arc
lortiug themselves in different neighborhoods.
| Oen. Wellborn’s engagements took place
I about .lo or 40 miles from the river, near the
! line of Barbour and Macon counties. I have
just conversed with a friend, who has brought
} his family from below, (near Glenn’s.) lie
| says, that the whole country is in a high state
j of excitement i hut all cannot leave, because
I as I intimated above, they have not the convc-
I niencc for doing it, having sent their wag-
J gnus, carts, &.c., for provisions, and the like
articles.
The last Columbus Sentinel, contains letters
announcing Ihe murder of a Mr. Pugh, and
two of Ills negroes, by a party of Indians;
and states by this time, the Franklin Volun-
I leers, who were departed from Fort Mitchell,
have probably effected a union witli Gen.
Wellborn.
The Montgomery Advertiser, states, that
on the Hist nit , a company of Horsemen nn
derthe command of Capt. Whitman, left that
town for the scene of disturbances. We do
hope, that these devils incarnate, will speedily
be removed ; off' with them, though at the
point of the baumet.

GEORGIA RAIL ROAD.
In the late number of tho Georgian wo found a
letter of Governor Sohley, respecting tho choice
ol an Engineer lo survey a route from Georgia
j to the Tennessee line, uml a statement from the
Engineer of the Georgia Kail Road Company,
showing the progress of tho road. The letter
and statement originally appeared in the Athens
Whig. It seems that the Governor has suececd
cd in obtaining the services of Major McNeil, an
eminent engineer of New York, and that us soon
as the necessary arrangements can be made, lie
will commence tile survey from the Chattahoo
chee to the Tennessee line.
In the statement of Mr. J. Edgar Thompson,
we are informed that the gradation of the whole
of tho Union Rul Road, 76 miles in length, hurl
been placed under contract; also the branch line
to Oreenslmrougb, 0 miles, together with 4 miles
of the branch to Athens; making* total distance
of 86 miles, on which there is at present employ
ed between twelve and thirteen hundred men.
“Tho grading of the first 60 miles is, with a
few exceptions, completed. The unfinished sec
tions on this division, together with all those be
low Crawfordville, will lie prepared lor the recep
tion of tho superstructure on or before the first of
I Juno next.
I “The cross tie? for|tbc 50 miles adjacent lo An
j guild, have nearly all been obtained, Tho string
pices? fora considerable portion of the road have
I been deli vered. In obtaining the remainder, wo
| have now eitg-'Tod about 80 men ; also two steam
and five water inn, ! -
“Fifty miles ol the superstructure lias been con
tracted tin, about 4 miles or' which is already laid,
ami the balance in progress. Ten miles will bo pla
ced in operation, as soon as tho season will render
it prudent to open the work for transportation- Two
locomotives—s 4 sets ol wheels and axles and ioP
tons ol iron roils and spikes, have been received at
Augusta. There is also in Savannah, about 700
tons of iron tai's.
“ i’be above statement will show tire progress made
imvtrds lh" couplet ion of our Roads. From the
i activity which now pervades our work, 1 have full
confidence that we shall be able, unless prevented
by some unforseen circumstance, to complete the
road to Crawfordville, in lime lo convey the ensu
ing crop of cotton from thence to Augusta.

CIIUONI ’I.ESOF REFORM— CHAP. 1.
1. And it came to pass, in the seventh year of
(lie reign of Andrew the King, that a grevious
sickness was upon him, oven mi hemorrhage,
which brought him near unto the house of death.
2. lint Andrew repented him not of the evil
he bad done onto the sanctuary ami violence unto
the laws, whereby much mour ling and l.imenla.
lion were brought upon the land, from the pro
vince of Maine, even unto the father of Rivers,
towards the going down of the sun.
8. N ivv there lived upon Ibe mighty river of
the We-l, one Thomas, whose siriiaine was
Benton, n worshipper of strange Gods, and a
teacher of 1 ilse doctrine; lull was one of the Pri
vy Council of Andrew, and was seated in the
-Sanhedrim of the nation.
4 Albeit, Andrew and Thomas had aforetime
longht terribly with each other, even unto the
tearing and cutting of the flesh, and spilling much
blood.
5. Moreover Thomas greviously wounded the
King with a plummet of lead, which he slung
with great wrath and lodged in the arm of An
drew, which grievous'y afflicted him ’till the fifth
year of his reign.
6. But when Andrew was chosen King they
j |iorfuiiied their beards and embraced one another,
. and sat down at the wine table and oounciled to-
I gather how they might seize upon the gold and
silver of the people, which was deposited in the
i hands of Nicholas for safe keeping.
7. And Thomas, who was a man of many
! words, and learned in all tho knowledge of the
I Magi, spake in thiswise:
8. Knowest thou, mighty King, when I ad
dress thee, it is lo one who feareth nothing; for
i he lliat witlilioldetli his hand bringetli nothing lo
| pass.
#. The inhabitants of this mundane sphere are
made up of para,loses, as our present situation
I well wilnesaelh.
j 1(1. Nicholas hath turned pale at our success,
, and his fine gold hath igjeome dim.
11. I will be unto t!»rc thy watch 'nan, thy
lity armor hearer, and the defender of thy faith, both
ICI- with hands and with tongue, for I tin learned in
era all the languages of the East,
ler 13. Gentle means, oh King! often accomplish
iof what power fads to do. The sun and genial
OH . dews, eh,the the hills with flowers, whilst the
tempest lays the monarch of the tempest low.
~„j 13. We must lake men captive, as the dc
nj eendants of the pilgrims made captive the fcath
ered flocks, by sprinkling their rudder feather*
with salt.*
j ( , 14. And can wc have a better device than the
allum salt of Missouri, lo bring within our reach
, the whole feathered tribe, from the glittering
1 humming bird to the migrating goose t
c " 15. When salt has lost its savor, oh King, the
101 gold dust and glittering ingots of the South shall
he the “open Messame,” until the Ellsworths and
IS * Adams of the North arc drawn into the prison
Bn house for the faithful.
8° 16, Moreover, let thy spies in the Eastern
provine.es be as the frogs of Egypt in the
e- kneading troughs and ovens of the inhabitants,
»d and thy glory be sung from ilia br.r-room and
id the threshing floor, until the bowels of tby foi
,s- lowers gush out and their hair become grey
CB with singing thy praises.
17. And when the faithful have gathered
thy (jflory into garners, ready to be sown upon
the fields of the Eastern provinces for a mighty
harvest, let the light of thy countenance shine
upon them like tile sun in the blue expanse of
V’ heaven.
18. And the multitude shall wonder and
I shout as though seven thunders had uttered
'■ their voices.
'r 19. Ami him of Kinderhook, though he
. shout not nor put a hook within thy nose,
19 shall pronounce it glory enough to have
served under the great Leviathan of the
’> West.
19 20. And when thou art journeying in the
c East, whct’B the people fear God and honor
II tlie King, tlie device up'll) the armour of thy
e servants, shall he the entire swine.
n 21. And should the Magi and the wise men
i u of the Eait, call thee into their temples and
give unto thee a pearl, with L. L. I), engra
ven upon the face thereof, (which meaneth
e the law of the Lord,) thou shall turn and
• rend them, as a lion rent the false prouhet of
6 old.
e 22. And when Andrew understood the pttr
’ poses of Thomas, he arose and smote upon
1 Ids thigh, and shook himself, as a lion when
L " aroused from his lair, shaketh the dew from
e his mane.
' 23. Many men have spoken wisely, said the
’ King, but thou hast excelled them all.
24. Thy words are like the father of rivers
! when the floods of die North are let loose
• and hear the hill and tho forest in a mighty
1 torrent to tlie ocean.
i 25. We have met in battle aforetime, and |
’ our strife has been bloody and terrible, as
! the leaden witness in my arm bcareth the re
cord.
: 26. Hut wc shall meet henceforth upon the
: threshold of a glorious era, and thy reward
! shall he greater than the heart of man can
1 conceive.
! 27. And tlie rest of tlie doings of Thomas
: and the King, and tlie Sorceries of the Ma
: jician, are they not be found upon tlie re
' cords of tlie scribes in the twenty and four
' Provinces, tlie city of ten thousand tongues.

A UGUS T A:
Thursday BvealUß, February 0.
Flic Constitutionalist of this morning, speak
ing of the depredations of the Creek Indians, says:
“ Applications have been made to the Governor
of our state for ■ farce sufficient to rspcl any ag
gression by tho Creeks on our own territory, and
to insure the lives ami properly of our own citi
zens.—Tlie Governor, who is at present in tills
city, lias already taken the proper measures de
manded hy the existing emergency, and within
tho reach of his command ; and he would imme
diately repair to the scene of action, and superin
tend himself, tho disposition of the troops called
for the defence of our citizens , and territory; but,
unfortunately, he is at present so indisposed by
a disease produced hy an inflammation of tho eyes,
that he finds himself unable to travel, however
ardent may his desire bo to fly to the assistance of
our frontier.”
COL. ALFORD.
By the following extract from tho Washington
Correspondence of the Charleston Mcrcury.it will
ho seen that our new member of Congress, Col.
Atvoim, has made his debut on the Indian ap
propriation bill. He is likely to become a great
favorite in Washington, especially with tho ladies.
We shall certainly have something from our own
, correspondent i i a day or two, who will probably
speak more fully of the effort than the Charleston
correspondent:
“ Mr. Alford, a itfw opposition member from
Georgia, who took ids seat a few days ago, made
i his maiden speach, to day, on the Indian Bill, in
i reply to some remarks from various quarters a
gainst the policy of removing the Indians beyond
the limits of the United States. I never heard
a more effective speech though it was entirely un
. proim’diated. He is a tall, fine-looking man, with
• a good voice, and speaks in a dashing, oll'-hand,
i frontier sort of style that was quite taking witli
i the House,and also with the ladies in the gallery.
Me is distinguished at home as tho “liar Horse
of 7', oii/i ai.’ l lie is likely to become as famous
here, as uJ was of! the frontier, —though Mr.
CuAlbeit said u«.' was (be most exceptionable man
the Nullificrs could i,."' o sent i'ere.
Since the above was in t_> ”>e, a l>as culled
our attention to the following extract fro” 1 the
correspondence of the Charleston Courier. We
arc more, than gratified that Col. Ar.roan lids
made such an impression at Washington. Could
Jimmy l.iddie. as Boh Short calls him, have
brought himself into such favorable notice, in the
American Congress t Has Cleveland, or Grant-
I uul, or even the immortal Jahez. himself,done as
much in two whole sessions as Alford did in three
days after he took his seat 1
Corresponden *o of the Cbarles'ou Courier.
Was ixrrrox, Fkb. 3, 1837.
Mr. Alford, the new Representative f rom Geor
gia, elected in the place of General Coffee, arriv
ed and look his scat on Tuesday. (I think.) and
yesterday ho made a speech, which is said to
have produced a greater sensation in tlie House,
than any speech has done for the last several
years, not that ho is oia> of your finished orators,
who brings into the contest of words polished
weapons, and uses them with the skill of a glad
iatoi; not that his logic, or his intonations, or
his gestures, were of the cast of the schools ; not
tliat his ’phrases were all euphonnus, and his
words the elite of tho language—but thorn was a
fresh ness of manner about him, a raeinesa of
style, a recklessness of oratorical arts, an absence
of metaphor, which infused a bewitching novelty
into his speech, and captivated those upon whom
the moio finished graces of oratory would have
been lavished in vain. Just from the field, with '
all his frontier peculiarities unworn, whatever ho 1
said, even although It might have been said he- 1
fore, was received as something which had boon 1
untold till then, and which was then told, w ith 1
an impressive force, which would prevent it from
ever being forgotten. Even tlie oaths, such a?
“By flic Eternal I” seemed to full from him, not 1
as profanations of the solemn epithet, but as the '
only vehicle hy which the energy of his thoughts 1
could escape from his bosom. “A letter (he said) I
has been received from some one in Arkansas, 1
who describes the emigrating Indians as suffering 1
the severest hardships, their feet bleeding, Ac.
1 donl believe it; and even if it were true, I should
feel no compassion for them. Sir, when they '
left the boundaries of Georgia, there is not a belle
who walk? your streets, dressed more gaily than
these Indian* were, from the plunder of your cit- 1
h ( izeas.” He adverted to the commission sent by
n tlie President, to examine into the frauds com
mitted on the Indians, and assorted, that tin* Inn
h cnu.c of lliu Seminole war. was the determination
il of the' lam! stealers" not to permit their trick?
10 to bo exposed. They therefore, urged the Indi
ans, to lake up arms against the (iovernment, in
5- order to destroy the only testimony which cotdd
i- lie brought against them. There has, on no oc
•s casion, this session, been silence in the House, un-
I id it was produced by the speech of Air. Alford.

11 SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER.
® The January No. of this excellent and evci
a welcome work, (being the first of the third vol-
I! j nmc,) has been on our table several days It b
d improved in appearance, and much enlarged, con
1 tabling 96 pages of its usual small and bcautifu
i lyp«, in double columns, and on exceedingly fint
e paper. The contents are generally able and of
. ten highly interesting. •“ A visit to my nativt
village , after an absence of thirteen years," by
r ‘lie author of "Letters from the South," “ Dutch
man s fireside, ’ Ac., is rendered quite interestinc
and amusing, as well as instructive, by its strik
f ’ n ? picture of village life, and that neat, quiet
: apt and humorous satire, so characteristic of iti
f excellent author, and the practical good sens*
j which distinguishes and renders valuable all hh
i writings. “A Literary Alan'' and its compan
ion, “ Glimpses into the biography of a namelest
■ traveller, Chapt. 1.” arc singular and entertain
[ ing trifles. “The Learned Languages, N'o. 2,’ !
, by M. Can er , is replete with sound sense, and
some good suggestions on this perplexing and dif
ficult subject. “Arthur Gordon Pym, jVo. I,"
a sea story, by Emivn A. Poe, is characterized by
the usual case and elegance of style, of its accom
plished author, and gives fair promise of much
interest in its future progress, “Indian Cap
tive," quite so so. “Study of the Law," is aide,
interesting, often eloquent, and tidily deserving
the attention of the student. “Mss of Thos.
Jefferson," though brief, will afford interest to
the reader, particularly in their opinions of Napo
leon, Alexander of Russia, Ac. There are also
several other valuable and interesting papers. A
Letter from Paris, by Robert Walsh, Jr.: “ Pho ■
losophy of Antiquity, J\'o. 2 “Verbal Criti
cism-" “Johann Peter Uz, by Mrs. E. F. El-
Lett; “flights of Authors," Ac. Ac,, which
wo have not time to speak of. The poetry is
j generally very good—the “Critical Notices” ex
cellent, at least if we may judge of the deep inter
est with which we read them. Those on Dry
an* s Poems, “George Dalcomhe,'* a novel,
(which is ascribed to Judge Bevehly Tucker,)
Irving’s "Astoria," J. N. Reynolds’ Address on
the South Sea Expedition, and “Aulhon’s Ci
cero,” arc markedly the usual correct taste and
judgment ot Mr. Poe, and closes, we regret to
learn, his editorial connection with the Messen
ger, inconsequence of his “attention being called
in another direction;” but he •• will continue,”
says Mr. White, (who now assumes the editori
al chair, anil we feel assured, from our knowledge
of hUJtalents, and theevidcnce before us, will make
ample amends for the loss) “to furnish its col
umns, from time to time, with the effusions of his
vigorous and popular pen.” Os the other two
Reviews, one, of “The Partisan Lender, a Tale
of the Future,” (and a very extraordinary po
litical novel of great power and interest,) is com
municated, and, as remarked by the editor, tho’
equally evident in tho article itself, “from the pen
of one ot tho most accomplished scholars in Vir
ginia”—we unhesitatingly add, in the whole
country. It is of much length, and stamped
w ilh the plain, unquestionable impress of a great
mind—ofone*wc cannot mistake, and from which,
every thing, like the admirable production before
us, is frought with inestimable value, and read
with the deepest interest. The other, of Mr.
Bulwku’s new Play, “The Duchess de la Val
uers," is highly creditable, alike to the head and
heart of the new Editor, and argues well, exceed
ing well of the future management of tho work.
It is not only well written, but strongly marked
by correct taste, and sound judgment, firmness
and independence, and a degree of critical acu
men seldom surpassed. But what we admire
most, arc its just and excellent strictures on the
immoral subject, character, and influence of this
Play; and wc feel assured, that they cannot but
render the beautiful work which contains them
a more welcome, as well as valuable “.Messenger"
to the bosom of every virtuous family.
B Y TIIE EXPISESS IttAl3s.
TWENTY-FOURTH CONGRESS,
SECOND SESSION.
In Senate, Saturday, February 4.
The Senate did not commence busidess until a
quarter before one o’clock.
Mr. Clay presented a petition of native authors
praying for an amendment of the copy-right law.
They state that while booksellers can publish fo
reign works without the aid of copy right, they
will not purchase the copy-rights of native authors.
By means of agents abroad they obtain the first
copy of a new work, and if the ship is detained at
the Narrows, the book is sometimes obtained and
published by tho lime the ship reaches the
wharves. These reprints are frequently produc
ed in a discreditable manner, maps and diagrams
omitted, Ac. The memorial was referred to the
select committee raised on the subject, to which
he also moved to refer some additional signatures
l 0 'he foreign memorials presented a few days ago.
Mr. sill’s hoped the subject would he fairly
and tu'ly dis' *>ut expressed himself as
much agaii.rt this .monopoly of authors beyond
the ordinary protection *‘" v ; . ,
Mr. Preston said iu?*•»» disposition was not
against the protection of liti-i.hure called for, and
not against it as lie had been reppe-sented. lie
did not believe that there was any consi,'.' lltlon! >l
objection to such a measure. He said it had wcigu"
cd on his conscience that we were in the practice
of appaoprialing the literary property of those
who speak the same language on tho other side
of the water without making some compensation.
He particularly instanced the case of Sir Wal
ler Scott, who while improving our intellects and
warming our hearts by his valuable works, was
laboring night and day, through pain and despon
dency, 10 pay ofl'his debts, to w hich wo had con
tributed nothing.
Mr. Clay moved to add another member to the
committee, which was ordered, and Mr. Ruggles
was appointed.
Counting of votes —Mr. Grundy, from tho
Select Committee appointed to devise a mode of
examining the votes for President and Vico Pres
ident, made a report in which it was stated that
persons in Now Hampshire, North Carolina, Ac.
held offices when they were elected Electors, but
as the striking out of these voles would not
change the result, the Committee only report that
the Senate shall attend in the House onJWednos
day next, to witness the counting of the votes,
recommending that a permanent provision be
made concerning improper votes.
Tho question being on the adoption.
Mr. Clay said the Committee were of opinion
that the resignation of an elector of his office un
der the United States after his election,would not
qualify him. But as the result could not be chan
ged at this time, the Committee had come to no
final result. The Committee would report here
after as to some provision to prevent officers from
voting hereafter.
Mr. Webster asked if there was any disqualifi
ed elector in Massachusetts.
Mr. Clay replied in tnc negative.
Mr. Grundy slated that there was no evidence
of any. He confirmed what had bee a said by
\ Mr. Clay that no otfi’cr of tne v. *». oaa.a rc
j- ceivc the appointment of elector. Such was the
ie pinion of tho Committee.
n Mr Norvell asked the question to be taken *ep
;s aralely on the resolution devising the mode of
i- coun'ing the votes of Michigan, against the mode
ii devised, in which he, on the part of the people of
d Michigan, entered his solemn pretest. He asked
o the yeas and nays on the second resolution, in or
der that the Senators from Mishigan might record
, their names.
The first resolution was adopted, and the yeas
and nays were ordered on the second resolution.
Mr; Grundy asked the Senate to reflect on the
r danger which mi.'ht accrue from a difference be
-- tween the two Houses during the counting of the
is votes. The Senate would have to retire, and if
j,. the House should not again send for the Senate,
who would be the Presicent and Vice President
11 Heaven could tell.
re Mr. Norvell and Mr. Clay made a few remarks
f. in addition, and Mr. Calhoun then asserted the
:e right of the Michigan Electors to he as perfect to
vote, as was the right of her Senators to a seat on
this floor.
\- Mr. Lyon expressed his desire to enter his
name as protesting against the right of Congress
to put the vote of Michigan in a doubtful posi
tion, and asked what the chairman of the commit
tee would do if the vole of Michigan should
ts change the result.
it Mr. Grundy said it was a case which the cau
jg lion of our ancesrors had not provided for. The
wisdom of the day must provide for the case of a
*' difference when it should occur.
ts Mr. Preston made a few remarks according
j. with the views of Mr. Calhoun.
„ The question was then taken on the second
.resolution which was agreed to, ; Yeas 34 Nays
d 9. Messrs. Calhoun, Fulton, Lynn, Morris,
f- Niles, Norvell, Preston, Walker, Wall.
” The report was ordered to be printed, and, on
motion of Mr. Grundy, the Chair was instructed
y to appoint a teller on the part of the Senate.

)- FROM MEXICO.
, Capt. Brisco, of the bark Ann-Eliza, from
"’ Vera Cruz, Jan. 10th, reports that Rumora
" were prevalent when he left, that the Govern
s. merit of Mexico would declare war against the
0 United States, and that the Mexican Congress
was then debating the question. Nonewsfrom
the Army. News of the departure cf Presi
o dent Santa Anna for lire city of Washington,
had arrived at Vera Cruz—but the effects of
, which upon the Govrenment of Mexico, was
unknown at Vera Cruz. There was no rejoic
ing in the city of Mexico, on the arrival of Gen.
- Hustamente.
Fiiom Matanzas.—Capt. Clifford at Provi
s deuce from Matanzas, 19th ult. stales that there
:- were no steamboats running between Matanzas
•- ami Havana, those whirh formerly run not hav
ing returned from the expedition to St. Jago. He
understood a new one had arrived at Havana a
’ tew days previous, from New York ; also, that
) the boats at St. Jago had received considerable
n damage in a gale.
j From the New Orleans True American.
Mr. Kidd of the Merchant’s Exchange has po
-0 litely furnished us with the following information
- from his correspondent at Jainacia. The letter is
j dated Kingston, Jan. 12th.—“ We beg now to
i, advise the blockade by a British squadron, of the
coast of Now Grenada, and the Consul for the
U. States has received a communication that no
0 American or other vessel, would bo sanctioned in
B leaving this port, ostensibly wilh a view to trade
with New Grenada, even to bring away British
‘ property.”
> By the Lodi arrived yesterday we received re
• gular files of the Noticiosoly Lucero from the
19th to 23d Jan. inclusive.
They contain nothing of moment. In the Tra
veller’s Guide, a work lately published under the
direction of the Government, it is stated that the
, marriages in the city of Havana for 1836 were
400, the births 4007, and the deaths 4778. Since
1804 there have been vacinated 317,567 persons
1 in the whole Island. The work is highly spoken
I of as containing some valuable statistical infor
[ ination.
' From the Savannah Georgian.
SAVANNAH—AS A PORT.
1 We have, more than once, had occasion to
. smile at remarks, which were intended to
. threw Savannah into/he shade, as a Port, pos
sessed of all the necessary facilities for the
Commercial demands of our fertile and grow
ing State. We have, as we remark, smiled,
, for time has tested the capacities of her river,
and her annual Exports have exhibited not
only the enterprise of her merchants, but
r proved how baseless these assertions, made by
. such as are alike ignorant of her resources, as
3 of the fact, whether the spires of her publis
’ edifices glitter in the sun beam, North or South
' of the Savannah. It is a fact well known
i to the mercantile world, that her merchants
i are not only enterprising in their vocation, but
) are extensive ship-owners, as well as large
purchasers of that staple of Georgia which
constitutes, for the most part, the rich return
freight of the vessels which visits our port.
, We publish some months since a list of the
shipping owned by the merchants of Savan
nah, and wish we’ had it stereotyped to be
always ready as a fact (as the Lawyers say,
patent on the face of record,) to state misre
presentation out of countenance. But the
j character of our merchants, no more, than the
capacity of our port, needs comment.
The John Camming, mentioned by our es
s teemed correspondent, had a full cargo of
2155 balcsof Cotton, and yet was towed from
the wharf with the greatest ease.
1 Wc hope those ofourcontemporarles whose
■ columns have teemed wilh the advantages of
, other ports in Georgia, will allow a little space
to the commercial advantages of their old and
tried Sea-Port, the city of Oglethorpe. We
' are of that class of men, who rejoice in the en
‘ terprise of all, but, at the same time, wi h to
3 see credit bestowed where credit is due. How-|
J ever, when the Kail Raid to the interior is com- i
1 pleted, we ahall expect all our iii'Ctliren of the
3 type to quaff with a glass of champagne
on that bluff, \i hence they can view for them
selves the crowded port, now the mart of na
tions ; which, but a little more than a century
ago, was the sporting ground of Tomichichi
and bis tawny race.

REMARKS.
COTTON. —There is evidently a Hilling off in the
price of this article, and although the sale* made
since our last report have been very small, a decline
has been evidently shewn of at least 1 a cent on the
finer qualities, and of one cent on the lower. We 1
now quote 13 a 16 cents per lb. os the extreme prices.
As wo have received no later accounts, from Europe, '
we ran only attribute the decline here to the dull j
slate of the tnarkcli in Savannah and Charleston.
