A gnat ter was immediately despatched to proclaim I lira glad tidings in tlx city.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. i- h From the N. Y. Daily Express, Feb. 5. )- 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. 1 ~ AUGUSTA PRICES CURRENT.
