SECOND SESSION.
IN SENATE, Thursday, Fch. S.
BRITISH AUTHORS,
Mr. ULA\ presented the memorial of Brill
authors, prayin'; for a law to secure the copy rig
of works to British authors. It was signer) I
the most distinguished living writers, and stall
thal their works were re-printed and frequent
mutilated. Ho expressed ■ hope that a l.i
would be passed tendering to all authors the hci
efits of • reciprocal ropy eight. He moved its r
feience to the Committee on the Judiciary.
Mr. PRESTON maik a few observations o
Ike advantages which American authors woul
receive from (he ptuuwge of a law which woul
rente a fair competition, while the publishers Its
aw opposite interest, liecause they could now ol
tain these works without the expense of cop
rights. The works of foreign authors are noi
re-ptinted iu this country in a style disgraceful I
«« in the present advanced stale of the arts. H
had a communication from the Publishers array
ing that body against the prayer of this memorial
Us waa apprehensive that the consideration o
the subject would lead to a very complicated dis
cussion.
Mr. GRUNDY said the memorial was certain!'
entitled Id (he most respectful consideration, bu
(ha Judiciary Committee was so occupied will
imporlsnt business] that they would scarce!}
have time to consider it He was favoratdy dis
posed towards it, but hoped it would bo referral
to a select committee.
Mr. CLAY said he waa aware that tha pub
liahert had an opposite interest hut he hoped i
was not of sufficient weight to lead to the rejec
lion of the memorial. The wide field of liter*
(lira would still he I est open to the publishers ever
if these living authors were secured in tbcii
rights.
Mr. BUCHANAN considered the interests o
the reading community as tar more wotlhy o
consideration than that of the bookseller*. Non
these works are cheaply printed and in the band
of all. The fame of every author wotlhy of itn
mortality is dearer to him than a money coined
erst ion.
Me. CLAY withdrew his motion, and the me
morial was ordered to be referred to s select com
mittec of five to lie appointed by the Chair.
The CHAIR then appointed Mr. CLAY, Mr
PRESTON, Mr. BUCHANAN, Mr. WEB
BTER, and Mr. EWING, of Ohio, to boos sued
committee.
Mr. KENT presented the preamble and reso
lutions of the Maryland Legislature, complaining
of the depressed condition of the Tobacco Trade,
and praying the Government to endeavor by nego
tiation'toobtain from Foreign Powers u reduction
of the duties on tobacco, Ac.
Mr. TOMLINSON from the Committee on
Pensions reported a Bill fur the relief of Ann H.
, Heilcman which waa read and ordered to a second
leading.
On motion of Mr. WHITE the Bill from the
House for the relief of John B. Wool, waa taken
up and considered as in Committee of the Whole,
reported without amendment, and ordered to be
engrossed fur a third reading.
Senate, Friday, Feb. 3.
Petition* were presented by Meaara, (Southard,
and Ewing, of Illinois, and referred.
Reports were received from the Committees on
Naval Affairs—on Private Land Claims—on
Finance—on Commerce ; read and ordered la be
printed.
Bill* were reported for the appropriation of
certain sum* of money to improve Iho port of
Pensacola ; and to exempt from clay iron im
ported for rail roads under certain conditions; to
sanction sundry act* of the Legislative Council
of Wisconsin Territory ; incorporating certain
banks, uniter certain conditions ; to suspend the
navy hospital tax formic year, with amendments;
for the relief of the hairs of Henry Ecltford ; for
the relief of Andrew Forrest; for Iho relief of
Hannah Smith; wero severally read a first time
and ordered to a second reading.
Mr. Davis, from the Committee on Commerce,
reported a hill and resolution)* proposing to sub
stitute the navy hospital tax, by charging the
amount of lax, $150,000, tyroa tho Treasury of
the United 'Stales.
Mr. Calhoun, oiler hearing the resolutions
read, said that ho was decidedly opposed to the
whole subject. Its tendency was to increase the
prevailing disease of the Government, the accu
mulation of patronage and power in the bunds of
the Central Government. This was the com
mencement of a system which would lead, no
one knew to what exces* of patronage. Ho was
solemnly impressed wilh the necessity of cur
tailing patronage, to arrest the tendency of all
measures to increase the central power here. Re
form must be pressed to the utmost. This Go
vernment was already surcharged with patron
age, and it moat be diminished; and he now en
enlered his solemn protest against the system pro
posed by the bill. It is a proposition to change
the old system, aud tends directly to the increase
of the corrupting patronage and power of this
Government. Why should the Government pay
the expenses of one class of men rather than
another I Bhall commerce and navigation be
taken in favor, while other interests are left to their
own resources ? Why not pay the doctors hills
for the rice-growers, and cotton-planters, us well
the class engaged in navigation I Ho was op
posed to all such schemes. It was time to halt.
The patronage and corruptions of Iho Govern
ment wore rapidly undermining our liberties,
and it is lime to provide fur our security, by cut
ting off thj alul courses of corruption and des
potism.
After some remarks by Mr. Davis in reply,
the bill and resolutions wore ordered to ho printed.
A bill from the House making appropriations
for the expenses of the Indian department for the
current year, was read a first mid second
lime, and referred to Iho committee on Indian af
fair*. Also, a bill making appropriations tor the
support of the army of the year 1837, referred to,
the Committee on Finance. Also, a bill for the
relief of John E. Wool, waa read a third lime
and passed.
The Senate then proceeded to the considera
tion of the tpecial order of the day—lho amend
ment proposed by Mr. White, of Tennessee
being under consideration.
• OKS* Os KKP.ItSKVTITIVF.S.
Reports from several committees were received
and disposed of.
Some discussion look place on a resolution re
ported by the Committee on Commerce, for the
payment of clerk hire to John Harris, J. B.
George and others.
Mr. Williams denied the power of the House
to give, or cause to lie given, a construction of
the laws, aud moved that it lay on the table -
which motion was not ranie.l,
Mr. Pearce, of Rhode Island, moved that, the
Uominitlco Undischarged from the consideration
of the memorial of the petitioners, and thut, with
the report of the Committee, it be referred to the
Bccroiarv of the Treasury.
Mr, Hoar wished to know the purpart of this
motion. What was the Secretary to understand
by it? Was he to understand thal the House
approved of the report of the Committee ? It
so, then the House derides upon the measure,
Mr. Hoar moved to strike out the word “ rc-
P ort >" and thus send the memorial alone to tiro
Secretary.
Decided iu the affirmative.
I ho resolution was then modified so at to send
the memorial to the Secretary of the Treasury
Ijrr settlement.
This was opposed by Messrs. Cave Johnson
and U trdin. Mr. Hardin objected to the resolu
tion. It was a left-handed mode of giving those 1
men or qlerks extra pay, U was a bad piece-!
dent.
Mr. Hoed was in favor of it. It seemed plain
to him that these individuals had performed ex
tra service, and he was willing to pay them;
hut he wished that the committee had accoaipa
uied the report wilh a hill.
Mr. Jarvis waa oppised to the resolution—it
was itld rcctly, aud by piece-meals, repealing a
general law.
Mr. Pearce, of Rhode Island, denied that it
weps a claim for extra pay for extra services. It
not a cliii ujfur services belonging la their du I

n Marv , Chairman
Louisa , Lee rotary.
e In a single day the whole town was in motion.
Every one read, laughed and approved. “Itis a
if capital hit”—“litis Boarding Hchool system dc
if serves il”—“these fashionable establishments are
- fu.diioii(ildo humbugs”— I “the girl who wrote that
a deserves a king for a husband”—were some of the
I expressions that were heard used on the pretty
i litll ajeu </’ esprit.
i This was not all. One day a very respectable
; looking gentleman came into our office in a high
state of excitement.
“ I demand, ’ said he, “the anther of the article
i qn B.iardig (Schools, in your paper 1”
“You demand !" says I. “ I do not know
, what you mean, hut I demur to any demand of
• that kind. I deny your right.”
b “ 1 have a right,” said the gentlemanly mani
f ac.
1 You have no right," said I, "and least of all
■ when you ask it in that manner,"
s “My daughter,” said ho, “is charged wilh writ
-9 ing il, and is to be expelled from her Boarding
- School in consequence."
f I smiled at this. I could hardly believe it.—
- ‘ You may set yourself easy on that score—the
> writer is not your daughter.”
i “ I shall have you indicted,” said ho, going out
- with a low bow.
I I could scarcely help laughing at this idea, till
• a lady called upon me to say thut I had injured
• her school, us il was said that “liver” was the
- only eatable on the table.
“ What was published, madam, waa not di
. reeled against any particular Boarding School,
i hut against the whole system.”
i This seemed to comfort her a little, and she
i went away contented,
But wo cannot enumerate the many cutious
and luugltuklo stones which this singular and
i original squib has produced. It reminds us of
one of the Boarding House articles published a
few weeks ago, which wits read at the table of
every boarding house in town, in the midst of pro
digious laughter, and one half the hoarding house
ladies look it to themselves. Perhaps there is
not a fashionable or unfashionable Boarding
School that has not been thrown into equal con
sternation at the idea of “liver.”
If dieting the sweet yomsg ladias on such deli
cacies wero tho only thing which can be found
fault with at these establishments, they might he
permitted to sleep out their present existence—
hut boarding schools—especially jtlui fashionable
boarding schools—arc destroying tho usefulness,
the taste, tho excellence of the rising female gen
eration. There is not a fashionable hoarding
school in this, or any other largo city, that ought
not to lie shut up and scaled up, as establishments
more calculated for mischief limn for use or ex
cellence. Instead of young ladies, just in the
hud of beauty, genius, taste, aud worth, being pre
pared to become affectionate wives, good mothers,
desirable companions, or discreet friends, they
are made up into line ladies—manufactured into
vaiullirts—laced and braced into mere pieces of
vanity, without a particle of sense, sagacity or
good feeling left iu their dear little hearts. If
they {have any good natural endowments, these
qualities arc eomipted and transmuted into affec
tation and folly, by tho bad taste and singular
perversity of fashionable teachers. “Those es
tablishments,” said John Randolph of Roanoke,
speaking once iu tho House of Representatives,
in our hearing—“these establishments,” said lie,
pointing with his long skinny linger, and looking
up to the gallery, which was ful’ of bcautv and i
fashion—“are called Boarding Schools, for fin-1
ishing the education of young ladies ; and they |
are truly so—for every young lady that enters
then four walla, never leaves it till she is finish-1
ed for all useful purposes in this woild,”
Git the present occasion, we have heard that a
very superior and a very beautiful young 1 idy I
has been expelled from one oi these fashionable j
establishments iu our city, in consequence of the(
sued ion that she was the authoress of the Jen i
(/■ esprit republished to-day. \Ve should like to I
know what establishment this was—we should
HU to know its history and its pretensions—we 1
shnul I like to know the intellectual, moral and j 1
philosophical character of its preceptors and pro- i 1
copln sscs, both French and English, If it lie aI I
fact that such an expulsion has taken place, in ,
consequence of the innocent squib in this paper,
we will venture to say that the young lady thus
treated is ono of the most talented and sensible
that over was sent out from that school, A
young girl capable of wiilingand conceiving those
few foregoing line*—nay, capable of being »u«-
(icelcd of atich a thing—gives evidence at once
of her superiority of intellect to those wall-flow
ers sticking up around her. We would walk a
thousand mdcs to see such a charming creature,
and cry “’tisall barren I” till wo ojamed our
eyes on her lovely and intellectual countenance.
But has any young lady been expelled Ironi a
Boarding School, because of suspicion that she
may lie the authoress of these versos? We do
not believe it—wo cannot believe it. Wo can
not imagine that any ol these solemn, empty,
ridiculous pretenders in the fashionable fashion
ing of the youthful female mind, would so expose
their own characters, and the principles of their'
establishment, as to j>er|ietrale such a ridiculous!
| —such a preposterous act. Such a piece of con
m' duct wauld, however, lie very natural in these
ig 1 pretended fashionable schools. If they dared to
1 have the moral courage to attempt an muiigr.ity
0- of that kind on a superior young lady. Good
m temper, sniiukle teclingf, the forgiveness of inju
i rics, tile pure spirit of true religion, arc not taught
| —arc entirely unknown in such schools. Pride,
V- vanity, selfishness, fashion, contempt, hale, are
rt- the sentiments daily cultivated, side by side with
a-1 meric, dancing, drawing, singing, dressing,
ri screeching, reading, painting, speaking, and talk
| ing scandal. Even wit, humor, and genius are
iie proscribed, unless it is corrupted and allied with
ic j empty protensions and ridiculous vanities.
• | It is now high and full time for fathers, moth-
I era and guardians of the young female generation,
'■ Jto bethink themselves of what they are about. A
a system of education has been introduced by for
t* cign adventurers and charlatane with monetachee
that, in a few years, will change the sterling good
sense, sound feelings and amiable hearts of the
American female into the pride, vanity, folly, and
t something worse, thut distinguish the higli and
*' corrupt fashionable society of Europe. Fathers
your daughters—your lovely daughter*—are on
,m the brink of deal ruction. Mothers, you are per
mitting your sweet pledges of aflection to Ire si-
LH lently led to misery and ruin.

EXPUNGING.
Tho following is the best article which wc have
seen on tho subject of Expunging. Il is from
the New-Voik Commercial Advertiser.
9 “ What's thn milter wilh your eye ?” said a
gentleman, the other day, te an honest emigrant,
who looked as if ho had been playing at fisty
cuffs.
• “ Och, il has been put out, knocked out, anni
' (dialed, expunged."
“ How can that be I” replied thn other, “ Can’t
! you see wilh it ?”
“Oh yea, I can sea with it; hut for all that it is
: expunged. Don’t you see the black tinea around
it?”
DEMOCRACY <fc DEMOCRATIC DOCTRINES
Wc aro among the num!>erof those who be
lieve, that although tho outward form of our Go
vernment may tie preserved, there is nevertheless
a rapid and fearful change undermining the sub
stance, and threatening finally to overthrow all
that is valuable in it, far the protection of life,
properly and liberty. In tho good old days of
our ancestors, when the patriotism of political
men had been Icated and purified in tho crucible
. of flic revolution, a democrat waa one who favor
ed the establishment of a government, in which
the ultimate sovereignty waa lodged in the peo
ple, in opposition to the scheme of some who be
lieving such a system incapable of sustaining it
self, favored the establishment of a limited mo
narchy or some otlior government wilh a strong
and powerful executive. Butin our degenerate
dsys, democrat is ono who believes in the in
fallibility of General Jackson, —this ia the first
article in his creed, and as tho Turk believes
• there is hut ono God, and Mahomet is his proph
et,” so tho genuine Democrat of 1837, believes
that there is hut one “ Hero,” and Van Buren is
his prophet. The next article iu his creed is that
tho offices of the csuutry were made for the
benefit of those who, per fas aul per nefas can
gel them, and not for the benefit of the people ;
and hence the motto under which ho fights—“ to
tho victors belong tho spoils.”
Another article in his faith is, that government
is a mere bubble, a (day tiling; thut tho will of
the democracy, whether expressed through the
columns of tho Globe, or through tho resolutions
of some midnight caucus, arc, under the sanction
of the “Hero,” tho supremo law of the land—that
every one opposed to them ia an aristocrat—that
the records of Congress ought to bo expunged
whenever they fail to express the wishes of the
“hero,” his will being paramount to the Consti
tution—and finally, that all contracts entered into
by Stales, in the granting of Dank Charters, or
other acts vesting rights in individuals, aro valid
only so far as they are consistent with the will of
tho Democracy—and that the aforesaid Democ
racy have tho power and the right to annul, re
peal, rescind,abrogate, “expunge" or “draw black
lines” round any and all of these contracts or
charters whenever they please, or aro “set on” to
do so by patty demagogues, who have nothing in
the way of character to Jose, and every thing in
way of money to gain.
Such are some of tho characteristics of a mod
ern Democrat! There is one other item of his
faith, however, which should not ho omitted on
the present occasion, and it is, that—the Senate
of the United States is a useless body, and the
“Hero” ought to abolish it forthwith, as the only
way to get rid of such troublesome fellows as
Webster, Clay, and Calhoun.
[FROM Olnt CORRESPONDENT.]
Wasuinotos, Feb. Ist, 1837.
There was another Abolition breeze in tho
House ou Monday last, puffed up of course by
the bellows of John Quincy Adams! He pre
sented a petition from the Young Men’s Anti-
Slavery Society of Philadelphia, remonstrating !
against tho recognition of tho Independence of :
Texas, on the ground that it would estahlishlslavcry
iu that country, and give over to bondage men
who arc free under the Mexican laws. lie called
for the reading of the petition. The Speaker de
cided that the motion w as out of order, as tho pe
tition clearly fell within the rules adopted under i
flic resolution of Mr. Hawes. Mr. A Jams appeal
ed ; and the decision of the Speaker was sustain- '
cd by tho House. Ho afterwards* presented a
number of petitions for tho Abolition of Slavery
which were also disposed of as the rule directs—
that is, they wero laid on the table as soon as
offered without being printed or referred.
On Tuesday, Mr. Bell succeeded in bringing
I up again the bill to secure the freedom of elce
| lions, and finished bis remarks in support of this
important measure. You will have seen that the
Government Official has been engaged for * few
1 i day* pist, in a course of systematic tnwrepresen
’ ! tatton of Mr. Hell’s motives and conduct. The
. | parly think it indispensable to their success in
I j Tennessee, that Ibis gentleman should be pros
■ \ trated, and they are using effort to accomplish
' I that object He is now charged with wasting the
, time of'the House, in the discussion of a raea.
■ sure that can not be matured for final action at
! the present session. And -why cannot it be
panted into a lain? Let any one examine the
provisions of the bill, and then say if such a mca
, sure is not of the highest importance to the coun
i try. The abuse that lies at the foundation of all
the mischiefs in the practical operation of the Go
[ vernraent is the immense amount and power of
, Executive patronage, that may be brought into
I direct interference with the purity and freedom of
I the elective franchise. This is the ahute of
j abuses which Mr. Bell proposes to eradicate and
. prevent in all lime to come. The party may rc
■ tard his progress—they may embarrass the bill by
amendments—they may postpone it—they may
prevent any action on it by the present Congress,
—But let them rest assured such a bill must be
passed at an early day. The ’sun of Liberty,
which is even now under an eclipse, will cease to
•’line upon this country, and perhaps set for
ever,
> Mr. Bell’s speech was a powerful effort of ar
gument, illustration, and eloquence, and produced
’ a strong impression on the House. The party’s
1 trainbands made several attempts to interrupt
him; but they were promptly and decisively put
I down by the general sense of the House. Jarvis
I of Maine, exhibited his spleen by going about the
House, and attempting to excite disapprobation
of Mr. Bell’s course of animadversion on the
powers that bo. He said to John Quincy Adams
“ what stuff! whata waste of lime!” “Not at
all,” retorted the Ex-President with warmth.
“It is no waste of time, Sir— you cannot he bet
ter employed. The House cannot bo bet
ter employed than in listening to such a speech
as Mr. Bell is making. The subject, Sir, is of the
greatest moment to the liberty of this country !”
The Van Burenitc felt the rebuke and slunk
away to bis scat.
The Indian Appropriation Bills are now in
full sewing in the House. The Indian Appro
priation Bill having been discussed fully on Com
mittee of the Whole, was taken up to-day in the
House, and read a third time. An animated de
bate arose on tliw subject of the general policy of
the Government towards the Indian tribes. Mr.
Cushing of Mass, addressed the House in a speech
of great length, which though like every produc
tion from the same source, it was classical and
finished. It was better adapted to fill a place in
the North American Review than to the great
scones of public business. He condemned the
policy of removing the Indians as unjust and in
expedient; but since that was to he the settled
policy of the country, he wished Congress would
take some measures for the protection of the
Indians who had removed to tho West, and for
the fulfilment in good faith of our treaties with
them. Mr. 11. Everett took similar grounds to
those assumed by Mr. Cushing, and censured in
strong terms the conduct of the Government
Agent*, who, ho said, had provoked the hostili
ties of the Indian*. Mr. Halsey of Geo., vindi
cated the course of the Government. Col. Daw
son spoke with great animation and force on the
general subject. His manner is at once captiva
ting and energetic, and on every occasion of his
addressing the House, he lias succeeded in ar
resting complete attention, and retaining it to the
last. His remarks on (ho causes of the hostili
ties of the Indians made a strong impression
Ho made a gallant defence of the citizens ofGeoj-_
gia and Alabama, upon whose conduct some se
vere reflections had been cast by speakers who
preceded him. Ho demonstrated that the hos
tilities of the Indians had been caused, not by (he
acts of the citizens of those States, but by the
conduct of agents and officers of the General
Government. He referred to the Indians reser
vations made in the treaties—tho object of which,
he declared, was to enable individuals connected
with the Government, and others, to make their
fortunes by cheating the Indians out of those re
servations. Ho gave illustration i and proofs,
and among them mentioned one ease in which
an Indian was cheated out of his head-right of
640 acres, by the Indian Agents appointed by the
Government to carry a treaty into effect.
Gen. Glascock also spoke on the subject. He
said it would not be contradicted that the grossest
frauds had been committed on the Creeks. They
had been cheated out of their lands by specula
tors of both political parties.
This Bill will probably be further debated to
morrow, when it comes up for final action. I
trust Col. Alford will give us his sentiments be
fore it is passed.
After what I told you of the blow up in the
Senate, between Walker and Benton, on the Bill
relating to the Currency, you have doubtless ex
pected to hear that Kives prosecuted the war
which his lieutenant commenced. But I under
stand that General Jackson was highly indignant
at this split in the camp, end counselled in pri
vate each of tho trio, to suppress their feelings of
hostilities. He would have no quarrelling, by the
Eternal! Accordingly, .Rives was more than
usually courteous to Benton on Monday, in point
of manner, though he very effectively demolished
all his specie schemes. Tho Chief Expungcr had
his swelling sufficiently rebuked hack into humili
ty, and even bandied terms of deferential respect
with tho genteel Virginian. Mr. Webster gave
the Bill a few hard knocks, and Mr. Calhoun also
pummelled it a little. The majority were not
prepared to net definitely upon it; and a motion
of Mr. Benton, to lay it on the table prevailed,
much to the chagrin and mortification of “ Cat
tleman Hives.”
Tho Land Bill occupied the attention of the
Senate yesterday and to-day. Mr. King of your
St etc, made a powerful speech yesterday against
it. It is hut just to this estimable gentleman to .
say, that hois not tied to the car of the parly so :
strongly, as to forget all his independence and
sense of propriety and right.
I hope to be able in my next to give you an
intelligible account of the provisions of this Bill i
—but at present it is so overloaded with amend

Black Hawk nut iieati. —There seems tube ,
a kind of national propensity with us to kill off (
all tho lions of the day. Two months since we ;
disposed of Senate I*uirulextor, heard his funeral
sermon, saw him dead and buried. But I’oin- j
dexter after all is alive, nud fast upon the recove
ry. So with Black Hawk, over whose corpse the
Indians have wept, and some of his wtiite breth- |
ren sighed in remembrance of past associations. ,
We have read some dozen or two eulogies of both
Senator and Chief. It seems however, that Black '
Hawk and his party had encamped near Buling
lon, where they hud a feast ami rejoicing; after
which, being intoxicated, ho fell into a slough in
an attempt to cross it.—at which time he lust his
hat. The hat was found when the Indians had
gone. As none of the parly hut Black Hawk
wore a hat, it was rightly conjectured to be his,
which led to the belief that lie was downed.—JV.

THE HOSTILE CREEKS.
Since our last, daily occurences have taken
place, fully confirming all that wo have previ
ously anticipated ond suit!* in relation to the
Indian disturbances in the Creel: Nation.
The war has actually begun with a vigor and
desperation not surpassed at any period of the
last campaign. Fifty warriors have gone out |
of the camp, under charge of Lieut Sloan—in
all about two hundred, men, women and chil
dren—the women have killed their children,
and prepared to take care of themselves—
• this is the strongest demonstration of hostili
ties. A camp has been discovered on Pee
. River, in Barbour county, numbering some
(too hundred, who, it is ascertained have nev
er struck their flag, but have been hostile from
the very commencement. To this camp be
. longed those Indians who murdered Mr. Pugh
amfhis negroes, a confirmation of which we
have in a slip, received from the office of the
Montgomery Advertiser. Reports leave no
. room for doubt that a number of Indians have
i returned from Florida, and that they are daily
, returning —all these circumstances, and
, facts, when taken together, furnish just
ground for alarm. True, there are a few
brave fellows in the field—they are fighting
they have fought, and fought bravely—but
their force is too weak to encounter the Jene
-1 rny with success. Capt. VVellburn, with twen
, ty men marched from Trwinton, and commenc
ed scouring the Cowagee Swamp, “unaided
and alone,” on Sunday last, they were attack
• ed by a party of Indians from one hundred to
i one hundred and twenty in number, and were
of course overpowered, and obliged to make
their retreat, though not until Liculcnant Pat
terson —a brave and worthy young man,
whose untimely death is deeply deplored by
ail his (Lends—had been literally shot to pie
ces, and/re of the company severely wounded.
As soon as this news reached Irwinton, anoth
er band ot volunteers, numbering forty four,
started to join their comrades ond friends ;
besides these troops, a mounted company of
volunteers, from Franklin county, (Geo.) are
in the Nation, some eighty in number, mak
ing in all, only one. hundred and thirty—fee
or forty while men to contend against per
haps three times that number of savages !
Thus it will be seen we are again cursed
with an unequal, a harrassing, a destructive
Indian war ! A war that should have been
ended long ago for the peace of tho country—
injustice to the citizens—and for the honor of
the nation. Tho war-whoop was sounded ear
ly last summer—property was. destroyed—
blood was spilled—thousands of soldiers were
marched to the scene of action—there was a
wholsale display of military pomp and an im
mense expenditure of money to sustain the
war. The whole Summer was consumed with
this affair—the fall approached and the Indi.
ans were ordered to be emigrated—the con
tract was taken, and a portion of them were
removed, but unfortunately and criminally, a
party was left behind and most ridiculously six
hundred Creek warriors were taken to Flori
da, to whip the Seminolea as though six
thousand United Slates troops were not a fair
match for f.fteen hundred half slarvedlndians!!
Hero was the grand error—and to this circum
stance is attributable the disturbances which
at preeentsurround us. When the emigration
commenced, it should have continued ; until
not an Indian, from old Noah Micco, down
to the youngest child could have been found
on this side the Mississippi. Want of room
compels us to defel further remarks on this
subject, till next week.
The Creeks.—lt appears from the follow
ing extract of a letter, dated Irwinton, Janua
ry 28lh, that a horde of hostile Indians is
now lurking about the Cowagee Creek, and
that they continue to commit disgraceful out
rages on the whites.
“Intelligence has reached us of a depreda
tionbeing recently committed on Mr. Pugh’s
plantation, in which two of our citizens were
murdered and five negroes. We also learn
this evening, that a fight took place this day,
between 1 Land 12 o’clock, between the citizen
forces, under the command of G n. Welbom,
end a large party of Indians, in which one of
our gallant little band of patriot soldiers was
killed and seven wounded.”
Flour in Troy, N. Y.—The last Troy
Budget says that there ie less flour now in
Troy, and Jess wheat, than has been found
hern, at the same season of tho year, for many
years past. Lot a few facts and comparisons
illustrate our position. Last year at this
time thers were in the city nearly 30,000 bar
rels of flour. At this time the whole quali
ty does not exceed 4000 barrels. Then flour
sold at, 7 dollars, now at 12 dollars per bar
rel. One house had at this time last year,
wheat on hand sufficient for 2000 bids, of
flour. At this time there are not 200 bush
els of wheat here. Such is the difference
found by the contrast between tho winters of
1830 and 1837. It is bel eved by experien
ced men that the supply of flour in the city
now is not more than sufficient for 3 or 4
weeks ordinary demand.— N. Y. Express,
A Fair Hit. —An industrious son of the
land of steady habits, was endeavoring to
sell a clock a few evenings ago, to a person
who is by no means the handsomest man in
town. As fair as [*iint, varnish, and a look
ing glass front go, the clock was passable but
us a whole, it was rattier an ugly place of
furniture. The owner praised It to the skies ;
the other decried it, and jocularly remarked,
that a look at it almost frightened lum. “Then
mister,” replied the vendor of notions, I guess
you had better buy one that has ho looking
glass in front. —Newbury Spectator.

the comedian found a warm advocate in a
well-known dramatist. “ I have heard,”
said tho latter, “that he is the kindest of men;

Mrs. F., a parcel of flummery about the agony
