Jackson. I SOUTHERN LITERARY MESSENGER. I Tho March No. of this beautiful and justly I popular work has been lying for some days on I our tabic, awaiting a liesuro moment for more ■ careful perusal, and a more extended notice than ■it is yet in our power to award to it. This No., ■ as far as wo may be permitted to judge from a I cursory glance through its neatly printed pages, I though not equal to some of its recent prcdcccs ■ sors, is yej highly interesting, and will be read I alike with pleasure and instruction. Indeed, we ■ know of no work of the kind which, generally, Iso happily intermingles the utile et duke —an ob ■ jeet which should be constantly aimed at by the I conductors of all such, but particularly those ■ which circulate in a country where literature is ■ in its infancy, and it is desirable, at once to culti ■ vato a taste for reading, and a sound and health- I ful literary judgment; and by his excellent efforts I in this way, Mr. White has manifested that gen- I erous and noble disposition to blend his own in ■ (crests with those of his country, which peculiar!- I ly distinguishes the patriot and the true Southron I and which have given his admirable works I peculiar claim upon the regard and patronage of I the Southern people. A TEnx Liberal Contribution. —The I Covington Herald of4th April says—“We learn, I from an undoubted source, that Josiah Flournoy, I Esq. of Putnam county, in this State, has pro- I sented to the Methodist Episcopal Church, os a I donation, tho handsome sum ofFORTY THOU ■ SAND DOLLARS, for the purpose of establish- I ing another Manual Labor School, to be located ■ in some one of tho counties south or south west ■- of this place. By this liberal gift to promote the 1 noble cause of literature and religion, Mr. Flour- I noy hast justly entitled himself to a distinguish r «d station among the philanthropists of the age; and millions yet unborn will hail him as their benefactor. It is such a noble deed as this that constitutes the true value of riches; and reflects more true lustre around the honor, than would 'the subjugation of a nation by the sword. It has heed truly said that “Education is a better safe guard for liberty than a standing army. If we retrench the wages of the schoolmaster, we must raise the wages of the recruiting sergeant.” The Kafeelebrated Edmund Burke once remarked that was tho cheap defence of Nations,” «nd he who thus liberally contributes to promote it, is not among the least of the benefactors of the tge. Who will follow his praiseworthy exam s ’ ' ■ The following communication was handed in for publication at tho Constitutionalists office, but at too late an hour for insertion. It was then given to us for publication in yesterday’s paper ( but could not be gotten in until to-day. Messes. Gcieu & Thompson. —lt is with some suiprise that I notice in your paper of yes terday an article relating to the contemplated Branch Bank of Millcdgcvillc. The author of f ilial communication appears to me to have taken a incorrect view of the commercial operations i of this city. Throughout all his remarks I sco | nothing but hostility to tho Branch without re ; gard to the interest of the city, (unless he is mis s taken in that interest) which he appears to wish Us believe is bis object in his assertion that there is sufficient Bank Capital in this city for the bu ' sincss done here. Ho will not bo sustained I think, by one business man in the city who knows tiny think about the subject. It is my opinion, ind I believe it can be sustained by facts that this : ;-ilace is from the very want of capital confined lo little more than half the business it could ad vantageously do but for the want of capital. The Writer of that communication makes large cal k. Jgulationa in figures which will do well enough on paper, but is good for nothing elswherc, as far as my knowledge goes, I fearlessly assert there is no • place within my knowledge where more capital is really wanted than in this, and where it could be f%|noro advantageously employed for the true inter est of the place. Let facts of which every bust : ness man in this city knows, and is fully acquaint ed with, speak for themselves.—Why is it that fciost of tho country merchants go to Charleston to lay in their supplies 1 Why is it that the •locks of this place cannot be kept up as good as •ny where in the Southern country 1 Why is it that wo cannot give as long credits as at any other ijlfjgdaec, but for tho want of Capital 1 The mcr- Ipehants who had twelve months paper to offer now -*f tho very best paper in Georgia, would find it JO go but a small way in paying his debts, (pro ■- lided ho should offer it for discount) and this has Jcncrally been the case since I have known it, . jhiclt is some years. Nay, how many Banks in iwe place discount such paper at all, which has Singer than three or four months to run, and what Broportion is done to what (he interests of the Blace really requires.—As good town paper has Been thrown out of all the Banks as can be offer- Bd, which had but sixty and ninety days to run, Bnd this for want of Capital. The writer fre quently mentions the Insurance and Trust Com , many, would he attempt to make any man in this ■community believe that this Company’s capital Be.’as any advantage to the mercantile interest of it 1 ■Why does he mention this Company 1 Let me him that their capital would be far better Bn the sea than where it is, as far as the morcan- Bde interest is concerned, and I dont know but B'ery other interest but the stockholders ; pray Bat mention their capital while you are writing B 'ho Bank Capital of this city,—as for the wri- B t; 'idea that the Branch will not add to the real I substantial active Banking Capital of the place he may dismiss his fears on this point, I can assure him they will not keep their capital locked up,— and the speculation of this Bank has not been greater, if as great as some of our own Banks let every citizen reflect well on his vote—let him remember lha. competition is the life of business. [from our correspondent.] WASHINGTON, April 1, 1536. The city has now become quite dull to stran gers. The parly-giving people have all retired within themselves or their own little circles. 1 here are no more balls or soirees to leap light wings to the hours of tho occasional visitors. But though the season of gaiety has fled with tho session of Congress,a residence here has many delights and attractions for him ’that will come tolerably provided with introductions. I assure you there are few places in this country that can boast of a bettor set of dinner-givers than Wash ington, and the man who in these hard times can leave rooms where “ Weit walked the rounds, And music filled the air." with a sufficient quantity of good wine under his belt, need not complain of the deprivation of the charms of tho waltz and the mazourka. Though the halls ol Congress are deserted, the National Library still presents its rich and va rious attractions to tho capitol. This is ono of the most delightful lounges lo be met with any where. In tho summer you will always find coolness and refreshment—in the winter always a genial and inspiring warmth. Besides an ex cellent selection of standard works in alt the departments of literature and science, the tables are covered with all the Reviews and Magazines, English and American, and now publications of different kinds. Here may ba seen day after day the venerable Ex-President Adams, who has cherished the nascent principle of curiosity, until ho now looks for a new publication on a favorite topic with as much eagerness and anxiety as that with which avarice watches the turn of tho lot tery-wheel, while the richest prizes yet remain in it. Gen. Gaines too, I have frequently found surrounded with numbers of books, in fine old bindings, and industriously making notes and extracts. Tho librarian Mr. Meehan, is an ex ceedingly civil person. The books one wants— excellent sofas—a quiet room, and obliging libra rian, what more can a literary lounger desiderate during the hours between breakfast and the time to dress for dinner. From the Savannah Georgian, April 5. FROM FLORIDA. By tho steamer Free Trade, Capt. Cresswell. from Black Creek, via Jacksonville, we received the following from our correspodent at Jackson ville. It confirms the intelligence heretofore pub lished. Extract of a letter received in this city, dated “Black Cheek, April 2. “No news of consequence from the Army.— Two companies of dragoons left this place to-day for tho Suwannee river.” Office of the Courier, 7 Jacksonville, March 30—10 p.m. $ [From a Correspondent.] Black Cheek, Match 30. Dear Sir —News lias just arrived, thui Captain Beal, with 150 men, surrounded on Sunday last, and took prisoners, twenty Indians, at Suwance Old Town. Three of them have since made their escape—among whom is the noted chief Hicks. This news you may roly upon as being correct. In haste, yours, &c. Jacksonville, March 30. It is reported that on Sunday last, just at sun down, a Mr. Pindarvis was, within three miles of Newnansville, fired on by the Indians. There were six Indians in the pally, and Mr. Pindarvis came close upon them before he observed them. They endeavored lo cut off his retreat, and seem ed more desirous lo take him and his horse, than to kill him. When they saw that ho was about to succeed in making his retreat, they fired two shots at him. The same party took off two horses belonging to Col. Rawles. These Indians are stragglers, it is supposed, and their acts no indication of the intention of the Indians generally. The Express from Black Creak to day brings news in addition to the above, that the son of Philip camei nto camp, at Fort Armstrong, on the 271 h inst., sent by his father lo obtain rations —and to ask Micanopy lo go and see Philip who has burned himself severely.—lt seems from this that Philip had not come in, as staled in our paper of this morning. Ho is about 6 miles rom camp. From the New York Herald, THE CRISIS—A STATE REMEDY. The commercial rcvoluilon now sweeping over the country is such as to demand an immediate remedy. We have no faith in the effects that might be produced by the revolution of tho Trea sury order of last July. The panic, bankruptcy and ruin which are spreading, like the cholera, from ono end of the country lo the other, are be yond the reach of a few millions additional bank currency or specie from the west, or even the ex pansion of post notes by tho banks. We owe debts abroad and they must be paid by the use of capital, or by credit that will command capital. There is probably a deficiency of 150 millions throughout the country, in the foreign and do mestic trade. Wo have contracted engagements for that amount beyond our means to pay. Part i of these largo sums we owe to lorcign nations— , probably twenty four millions. The debts among ourselves may be postponed, or extended, or paid by composition from 5 cents lo 50 on the dollar 1 —but our foreign debts ought to be paid to the ■ uttermost cent. The whole commercial credit of the country is at stake and unless a financial measure equal to 1 the crisis be adopted at once, the business of the ! country will be more deranged in the next ten i months than ten years can retrieve. A derangc l ment of our foreign exchanges at this time would bo worse than a foreign war. The debts and f credits and individual paper issued on the high prices of cotton, of flour, of land, of lols, or of any i of those speculative articles which have been af t fectcd in value, may, and perhaps ought to be broken to pieces, and turned into bankruptcy. Not so with our foreign debts—not so with our 5 foreign creditors. The merchandise which have ;, formed the bulk of our imports, have never been i known beyond their natural prices. 1 hey were fairly sold to us at fair prices. The form a legi -8 timatc business. They ought to be paid, and un • les - they are paid a revulsion may be produced in i England similar to that of 1825, the effects of s which on us will destroy in five years one half the cotton trade of the south. There can he no mistake in this calculation. ’ It took place in 1826, 27 caused by the revulsion ■ of 1825, and it will be reproduced by the present - one if no remedy be soon applied. s Wo want capital, or credit in tho shape of ca- I pital, and must have it. The legislature of the country which, by iu laws, has caused the crisis in a great measure, ought to furnish the relief. ! We have loooked to Washington for some action r in the executive, but wo have seen or heard noth ing definite from that quarter but ridiculous con suitstions of the cabinet about a treasury order ‘ that cannot affect the matter, one way or the oth- I er, to the extent of two millions, while the coun - try is deficient 150 millions. Congress ought to be called together—but he gives no signs of the , moment. . , , .... In this dilemma what i» to fit don* whither : arc we to look for aid I who in authority will . make an effort to save the credit and honor of the country in its commercial securities! The stale legislature is now in session, and 1 from the state legislature we ought to expect im ■ mediate relief. In the distress of 1834, Governor i Marcy projected an issue of six millions of state bonds to save the stale alone from the supposed 1 impending crisis of that day. The crisis and alarm now is ten fold more terrible.—Will Governor Marcy now not move! Will he not come for ward with some plan ot relief to save tho com mercial relations of the whole country? What would be that best remedy? At this moment no measure can be useful that is not equivalent lo thirty or forty millions of cap ital, or credit equal to tliar amount. J.et ag'-eat Dunk, to deal in foreign and domestic exchange, capital fifty millions, be immediately created by the legislature, and established in I Fall street and its bonds guaranteed by the slate ofjVew York. A measure of this kind would at once save the commerce oTthe whole country from im pending ruin. The credit of this stale is higher in Europe than that of any of the oilier twenty six, or the United States Bank in the bargain. In London, Amsterdam, Paris, the stock, scrip, or bonds of such an institution would command ready purchasers. At once would the whole commercial foreign debt he provided for at once exchanges placed on a durable fooling—and ata once would the commercial action of the whole country from south to cast, be pul into harmony and in good condition. The speculator in lands, in lots, and other articles, who have advanced pri ces, may go to perdition, but the legitimate com . merco of the nation ought to be saved from de struction and ruin. Why will sot the legislature take this measure in- They arc, and have been delib erating all winter on banks, usury, icslraining laws, paper money, pilots, locofocos, loafers, eve ry thing. They have been only wasting time— let them take up such a measure as we have pro posed, and they would be giving some evidence of providing a remedy for the terrible evils that we must yet face. New York ought lo be the centre of the great commercial machine of Eu rope and Amerca, This emporium can bo made so, and by the creation of an institution such as we have described, New York would save the whole country from commercial ruin, and lay the foundation of a power to prevent similar scenes hereafter. New Orleans, Mobile, Boston, every great capital—every leading merchant, every commanding section of the country, look to the Empire State for safety and salvation in the hur ricane now sweeping over the commerce of the country. Let this great state move at once, and it is done. If not, we have not seen the worst. Since the above was written, the following took place in the Common Council: Resolution by Mr. Bruen— That it be referred to a Joint Committee on Finance to inquire into, and report without de lay, upon the expediency of obtaining authority from tho Legislature at its present session to loan the credit of the city, to the amount of five millions of dollars, upon bonds and mortgages upon unincumbered real estate in the said city, to be valued by commissioners to be appointed by the Common Council at not less than fifty per cent upon the amount to be loaned thereon. Said credit to bu issued in stock on bands of the city bearing interest not exceeding six per cent per annum, and for a term no exceeding twen ty-five years. The honorab'c gentleman supported his views by an able speech, and the resolution was carried ' nem. con. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. Washington, March 25,1837. The extraordinary character of the docu -1 ment lately ushered lo the world as the opin ion of the Military Court of Inquiry has ex ! cited universal disapprobation here. What ’ creates halt the astonishment s, that Mr. Van Huron should have endorsed the opinions.— Some believe, and with good reason, that Gen. Jackson would have rejected the Seminole cases, ns ho did the Creek case of Gen. Scott. ■ Whether this argues that Mr. Van Burcn takes less pride in that branch of our national de fence than did General Jackson, it is difficult to decide. Certain it is, however, that he formally acknowledged the opinion of the court, upon their responsibility, presuming they had faithfully executed the trust confided to them. But how lamentable will he the re flection when he discovers the injustice which is inflicted upon the veteran Gains 1 Will he not reprove himself for thus trusting the fate of a gallant officer to the prejudices of a de clared personal enemy ? But alas, ‘ repent enco cometli too late.’ It puzzles some of the knowing ones amaz ingly to discover the meaning of General Macomb upon the sortie subject; first, he says, no sally (or sortie) was made to test the result of such a movement, which it is possi ble might have issued in the defeat and sub jection of the enemy, and have brought the war to a close. Then, he says, “ but the court is of opinion that had a sortie been made by Major Gen. Gaines, though lie might have been able to beat and drive the enemy into the surrounding hammocks and swamps, they would have eluded pursuit and retired lo Ihcir mure remote fastnesses." And lie closes by saying, “still the court, without impugning the motives that influenced Major Genera! Gaines, is of opinion that a sortie, under all the circumstances of the case, should have been made.” Here’s logic for you! What may wo not now expect from the prolific pen j[of the distinguished author of Pontiac? “ Dread liogo, although returned not full ol glory, Yet I’ve a new play writ from Indian story: I’ve some new regulations also introduced, By which the army’s whiskers are reduced.” From the Globe of Friday. “THERE LS NO PRESSURE WHICH ANY HONEST MAN SHOULD RE GRET." ******* “This cry of pressure for money, when it is in greater abundance than ever before, is like a cry offamine in the midst of the most plon liful harvest.

The despot who, for the happi ’ -ness of millions, is now in the obscurity from whence he never should have emerged, said r that they who traded on borrowed capital ’ ought to break—and his favorite man Friday has the impudence to declare that there is no pressure in the money market (hat “any hon est man should regret,” and those who have t nothing to eat ought lo starve 1 It is not alone sufficient that the usurping and despot - ic power of the public servants at Washing s ton has overturned the safe and ordinary mode i, of managing the fiscal affairs of the country ; F. ft i s not alone enough to know that they have i brought ruin and bankruptcy on nearly every • section of the Union—it is not alone enough - to know that men have been wantonly made r beei'ars who have labored with zeal to secure - belter prospects, but tho authors of the pre l" sent misery, wallowing in their own ill-gotten »’ trains, turn scornfully on the innocent suffer -6 era, and cry out "starve, and bo d dto voo " And this is a republic ! this is a free ' ‘ i country !

The Capitol on Inauoration Day.—l was at the Capitol half an hour before tho pro cession arrived, & had leisure io study a scene for which 1 was not at all prepared. The no ble stair-cusc of the east front of tho building leaps over three arctics, under one of which carriages pass to the basement door, and, as you approach from the gale, the eye cuts the ascent at right angles, and the sky, broken by a small spire at a short distance, is visible be neath. Broad stairs occur at equal dis'ances, with corresponding projections, snd from the upper platform rise the outer columns of the portico, with ranges of columns threo deep, extending back lo the pilasters. I had often admired this front, with its many graceful columns and its superb flight of stairs, as one of the finest things I had seen in the world. Like the effect of the assembled population of Rome waiting to receive tho blessing before the front of St. Peter’s, however, the assem bled crowd on the steps and at the base of the Capital heightened inconceivably the grandeur ot the design. They were piled up like the people on the temples of Babylon, in one of Martin’s sublime pictures—every projection 1 covered, and an jnfxprossib's soul and ch»r --i e aefergiven by their presence to the architect '. lure. Boys climbed about the basis ot the - columns, single figures stood on the posts ot the surrounding railings m the boldest relief against the sky, and tho whole thing was exactly what Paul Veronese would have .delighted lo draw.

BUSINESS. We never saw Pearl and other business streets in New York, look so gloomy os they did last week. No business seemed to bo doing, nor was there any disposition manifested on the part of the merchants to sell. In this they probably act the part of wisdom ; for in times like the present, men can scarcely be too cautious. Philadelphia has probably done more of the choice Western business this season than any other city, and yet, our merchants, so fur from seeking business, have declined much that was offered. They have not been disposed to extend or run risks; notwith standing this caution, however, largo amounts of goods have been purchased here, and long trains of cars daily leave Broad street, filled with them hound west. By tho way, Broad street has be come ono of the most business-like streets in our city, and it is worth a walk from the Ex change to see the trains of cars as they leave for Columbia, and the large and well filled store houses of our various forwarding merchants. There is a very great pressure in that particular part of our city, as also along tho Schuylkill front but it is such a press as merchants like—that of business. From the New York limit!. ; WALL STREET, April 4. Wc are almost as bad as ever. I n spite of tho misrepresentations of the Walt street press, the pressure and difficulty in tho money market go onward with unabated fury. Tho accounts from all quarters are so gloomy, and Monday opened so heavily, that stocks foil what they had advanced at the close of lust week. Delaware & Hudson tumbled three per cent, and the other fancy stocks in proportion. The difficulty of pro curing money on good paper is as great as ever. The financial measures of last week appear to have been swallowed up, and the cry for more > continues as fierce as ever. Tho time sterling bonds of the United States Bank were down to par, and at length rose to 3or 4 per cent, for what had cost 7 percent at tho bank counter. The Morris Canal bondi arc selling in the street at 3) per cent per month, in spite of the iudorsc menty of the Bank of Amciica. It is also an nounced that the Manhattan Company intends to issue twenty-live jear bonds, payable at the Bank of England, for the amount of “ Forty two thousand pounds sterling.” Why aro they not brought out ? They would be as good, if not bettor securities to negociute in London, than those of tho United Sratcs Bank. The Marquis Oaermarthcn, one of the principal stockholders, is well known across tho water. The Joseph’s paper is selling fur 10 cents on the dollar. Rumors of more failures were thick yesterday —particularly in consequence of the accounts from New Orleans. To-day, tho 4th of April, will bea heavy day to make payments. We anticipate much difficulty to get through. Never tho less, brace up and brush through. One can but suspend—fail, smash, or go down at the worst. If ho does so, there ere so many foxes with their tails equally as short, that none will look queer. The pressure is now beginning to reach the mechanics and working classes. A largo man ufacturing establishment was reported in difficul ty yesterday,and many workmen were dismissed from employment. The wages of labor cannot sustain its high rales, when (lour, and every thing is falling around. Flour has receded already 15 per cent —cotton the same—real estate 20 to 25. Wages of labor will also recede. The opening of the North River will fetch some money lo market —and flour, too —but in the money part, it cannot altogether save us from the consequences of speculation. The position ofafliirs is very had. The action of the government—the state of parties—the mis representations of the Wall street press, all tend to hide the evils, and to prevent men from pre paring .ol ?he difficulties. Wc must step in, uniavel the matter, and let in a little light upon the mysteries of trade and political economy. The evils of the present times arise, not so much from an expansion of hank credits, as an expansion of individual credits. There is not hank money enough in the country to pay every man’s personal notes or debts. The evil is, a disparity between the bank credits and the com mctcial credits. So far as icgards the solvency ofthc banks, and stability of our circulating me dium, the country was never in a sounder state. It is true that individual banks may have over ' traded —but' taken as a whole, the hanking sys tem of the United States is much stronger than ' that of England. The aggregate circulation, in ' eluding depositee, is only about four to one of the specie. In 1825, the last crisis, tho relations of ■ depositee and circulation to specie, were proba bly 20 to 1. At this time in England it is Bto 1. The hanking system, therefore, was never in a better condition, yet some banks may break, and some are breaking out west—tho honk of Mon roe, Michigan, for one. The great cause ofdifficulty is the large amount of commercial paper, based on transactions with out reality, and on articles beymd their value. . We can bolter explain our views by the follow ing statement: Commercial paper, bills of exchange and notes corning to maturity, 9750,000,000 Bank capital, 8430,000,000 Circulation. 120,000,000-8530,000,000 Deficiency, 8200,000,000 This shows a deficiency of 200 millions in the capital credit of the banks to liquidate all the com mercial paper now afloat. We have omitted the 40 millions of specie in the banks, as that must be retained to sustain the bank papor, and also tho 40 millions ia circulation, as that must sup ply the daily want* of life. The deficiency is an alysed as follows: Public lands hold by merchentaon spec ulation, $30,000,000 Lola in and near cities, . 30,000,000 1 Due to England and France, for excess ' of imports, 30,000,000 i Diminution in va ue of colloo, 13,000,000 Surplus revenue locked up, 30,000,000 i Flour end grain imported, 5,000,000 , Suppression of small oot-<B, 30,000,000 8190,000,100 ! All these values affect the general action of the [ great commercial machine. They are tho perlur ! bations which have caused all the difficulties we now ese. Some of them may neutralise or be 1 synonymous with each other, m the public lands and surplus revenue, the latter being caused by e the sale ofthc former—but after deducting every ,t item of such a mixed nature, wo conic to the con >f elusion that the mercantile interests have issued 9 one hundred millions at least of that paper be e yond their means to pay. or beyond the capr.ei . ty of the banks lo aid them through it. Wo r( must therefore, have failures—but as failures pro j ducc panic, and may at length affect legitimate g and honest trade, tho whole community must start up, us one man, and demand of the legisla ture of tho stole of New York, to interpose its power lo srvo those who ought to ha saved. If they do net, wo say it unhesitatingly, that both Senate and Assemldy would doservo to le hurled , into the waves of tho Hudson, ns you would so • many mad dogs, or other animals that ought not f to live. Yesterday’s operations are as follow:—Dry ’ Goods—Messrs Austin, Wilmording & Co. had a sale of about 100 cases French goods, and Messrs, Corlics, Haydock & Co. sold 150 packa ges foreign and domestic dry goods, Both sales were well attended, hut tho goods were sold at low prices. Private sales ware dull. We may now expect agoud business from ihu north, as thu river is open. Sugar,&c.—Wo have no change lo notice either in Sugar, Molasses, Rice, or Tohuco, since our last. Nothing of importance has been done in any of (ho above articles. Flour remains without any change from Satur day’s quotations. It is now very unsteady. No sales of consequence have taken place. Other operations were in the like manner very dull. All wc have to notice is a sale of 19 hags damaged Hazel Nutsat“j;qr, boxes Havana Sugars at 2j. kegs Raisins, at #2, cash.
