Ftont Richmond, the cars with the mail and passengers going
North, will continue to depart at 4 in'the morning, until it shall
be .ascertained that the passengers can leave at a later hour

Richmond on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday at 9 A. M. and
teaching Fredericksburg to dinner; and leaving Fredericks-
burg on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, so soon as the cars
arrive with the mall from Richmond, which will be about a quar-
ter before 9 A. M.
With a view of making this tri-weekly line a pleasant one,
the trade in wood and other heavy articles between Richmond
anri Chickahominy will be separated from it, and this descrip-
Stion of trade will be accommodated by running cars for it at
such hours as may suit the Company, and not interfere with the
travel.

It proves effectual when the affliction is caused by nervous
weakness, as the remedy gives health and strength to the whole
nervous system.
On the other hand, when the affliction is owing to other causes
-other means of help must be sought for-but-and it may be
repe'ated-that, in cases where deafness is caused bly nervous
weakness, the remedy will restore hearing, as hath been expe-'
rienced in the editor's own family-as well as in the families of
many o(his neighbors also.
Now-according to the Doctor's practice and principles, that
MUCH OF THE ART
OF PHYSIC
CONSISTS
IN KNOWING,WHEN
( NOT TO GIVE IT.
The restoration of hearing is brought about without giving any
physic I-without giving any medicine-as hath been ascertain-
ed in numbers and numbers of instances. Therefore, and in
part return for such grest benefits received, we make the above
known for the good of our fellow-citizens in similar distress.
Assistance is sent-free of postage, for as many as are afflict-
ed in 4 family, including the relatives of such family also, for a
fee of five dollars.
For a fee of ten dollars assistance is sent-free of postage al-
so-for 3 or 4 persons more-in addition-as at times neighbors
may be in want of some.
And in case other sickness besides deafness and loss of eye-
sight happening, help is sent for such sickness without any
charge.
The fee pays for all and every help sent to families from time
to time.
This is considered a praiseworthy plan. And in conclusion,
it will, no doubt, be very satisfactory for people to know that the
assistance is not to be applied to the ears-nor the eyes.
NOT AT ALL.
Consequently no danger whatever can happen to them-no-
none whatever.
And during the time that people are using his assistance at
home, and learning how to help themselves to restore and re-
cover their hearing, their eye-sight and their health again :
They can follow their customary business;
They can live as usual;
And they can also eat and drink what tastes best.

The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. Baker, to the
printer :
My friend-The method of using Dr. Green's remedy is in-
nocent, is easy, and performs the cure by strengthening the
nerves. My neighbor Jones's wife thought she would try it
too, being a long time troubled with weak and sore eyes, a long
time troubled with dimness and failing of sight, and over one
eye a film (a skin) was beginning to grow and spread itself.
This affliction, together with her deafness, caused by nervous
weakness, very much alarmed the family, insomuch that help
was sent for, and which arrived per mail free of postage; and
which help in little more than a week made them as good and
as strong as ever, doing needlework now without spectacles,
and now is restored to her eyesight as well as to her hearing.
C. F. BAKER.

N. B.-With the remedy the patient receives an instructive
and easy way how to preserve health in general, throughout
the whole year. This is of great value to families, (both to pa-
rents and children,) and'tis sent without any charge whatever.
It always accompanies the remedy for deafness tnd eyesight.

Tr'O PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.-The sub-
1 scriber respectfully inforimsthe Public' that he will open,
on the 1st day of October next, a Frenchand English Board-
ing School for Young Ladies, at Bordentown, N. J.
SThe advantages of Bordentown as a place fitted for the esta-
blishment of schools, if equalled, are certainly not surpassed by
any in the whole country. Situated on the Delaware, and eigh-
ty feet above its level, proverbial for health, at the head of
steamboat navigation, accessible .from Philadelphia and from
New York twice in every day, and at all seasons of the year,
furnishedd with excellent boarding-houses forthe accommodation
of parents and visitors, this beautiful village offers, indeed, all
that can be desired for the purpose.
The buildings occupied by this institution were recently
erected by the Count de Survilliers; they stand on a hill,
immediately opposite his mansion, and are, in fact, a portion ot
his splendid estate. In preparing them for the reception of
young ladies, nothing was omitted that could contribute to their
health and comfort. There is on this property a chalybeate
spring, whose water was analyzed, and found to be equal, in
every respect, to that of Schooley's Mountain.
The distinctive features of this institution will consist in its
being essentially a French School. It is generally admitted
that the French language has now become-an important, not to
say indispensable, branch of a polite education. Yet it is a truth
no less indisputable, that the attention it usually receives in
schools is comparatively small, and attended with little or no
success. Ten years' experience, and much reflection-upon
the subject, have led us to act according to the following propo-
sitions :
1st. The knowledge of a language is two-fold: it embraces
theory and practice.
2d. Theory may be learnt in less than ode-fourth of the time
needed to acquire practice. I
If this be true, we may draw from them the following con-
clusions :
In studying the English, the American youth have only theo-
ry to learn. In studying the French, both theory and practice
are to be acquired: from which it necessarily follows that the
attention given to the foreign idiom should be at least four times
as great as that given to the vernacular. We therefore use the
French language in our intercourse with our pupils, and, as far
as is practicable, French text books of History, Geography,
Mathematics, &c. are made"use of in the tuition of these
branches.

RUSTEE'S SALE.-By virtue of a decree of Saint
Mary's County Court, sitting as a Court of Equity, the un-
dersigned as trustee will expose at public sale at Leonardtown,
on Tuesday, thd 31st day of January next, between the hours
of one and five o'clock P. M. if fair, if not, the next fair day
thereafter, all that tract or parcel of land called "Part of Broad
Neck and Nun's Oak," containing one hundred and nine acres,
more or less, being part of the land of which the late Sympho
Rosa Millard died seized and possessed. This tract of land
is situated in Medley's Neck, immediately on the Potomac river,
and is one of the finest little farms in Saint Mary's county, being
highly improved, and capable of being still more so, from the
immense quantity of sea ore that is washed upon the shore, and,
independently of that, has the benefit of every convenience and
luxury which the river affords. The improvements are in tole-
rable repair. A further descriFtion is deemed unnecessary, as

previous to the day of sale. Terms of sale are, lhal one-fourth
of the purchase money shall be paid on the day of sale, or on the
ratification thereof, and the residue in two equal annual instal-
ments, with interest from the day of sale, exclusive of that part
which shall fall to the share of the two infant representatives,
which shall be paid them on their arriving at age, or on the day
of marriage, the interest to be paid'to their guardians annually;
the whole to be secured by bond with security, to be approved
by the trustee ; and, on the payment of the whole purchase
money, and not before, the trustee is authorized to convey to the
purchaser and his, her, or their heirs, the property to them sold,
free, clear, and discharged from all claim of the complainants or
of the defendants, or of those claiming by, from, or under them,
or either of them.

SIR: It affords me pleasure to testify to the very correct and
satisfactory manner in which the two young gentlemen from
your school have conducted themselves during the time they
have been in the service; and the ability manifested by the
prompt and skilfuJ discharge of their several duties is alike cre-
ditable to them and the character of the institution in which they
were instructed.
The books comprised in your course of studies are appropri-
ate and well selected. I am pleased to hear topographical and
architectural drawing is to form a part of your future course.
This is an elegant accomplishment to an engineer, and'-An the
early part ofhis career will frequently bring hinmt into notice,
and hasten his promotion to more responsible stations, where
his talents may be fully developed.-
Appreciating as I do your efforts to elevate the profession, I
trust they will be crowned with success, and I assure you it will
afford me very great pleasure to render any aid in my power to
second your views.

DEAR SIR: We are about to commence the loca.
tion of a canal 34 miles in length, to meet the Central caial,
which will take us till late in the fall. I am perfectly satisfied
with my situation, and shall never regret the money spent in
obtainingit. I consider the fact of my having attended your school
one session to have saved me at least three years' hard labor,
for it would have required that time (had I not joined your class)
to qualify me for the discharge of the duties I now have 6n hand.
I believe this is the opinion of each member of the class which
graduated last session.
Respectfully, yours, &c.

GENEVA, N. Y. OCT. 29, 1836.
Your intention of going to Georgetown, Kentucky, is, think,
an admirable one, and you would be very much to blate 'not to
go through with it; for, from all accounts, the school in George-
town is better adapted for preparing engineers than any other in
the United States. I have spoken to several engineers on the
snbhjert anl they ail gro in-l oowanonding it very strongly.

and rather a down look when spoken to. Lorenzo is about 5 feet
6 inches high, an active lad of about 18 years old, pleasant coun-
tenance, and a very bright mulatto. They are. brothers, and
will no doubt keep together. Their working clothes are homes-
made diab cloth pantaloons, new, their coats made last fall.
Rynaldo has a green close coat and fur hat. Lorenzo has a
brown frock coat and an old fur cap. The other clothing not

iATIONAL INTJLLIGENCER,

STATE OF OHIO.

It seems to be due to the-long and meritori-
ous seivicgs of General VAICE in the National
Councils, that we should spread before our read-
ers and iis'late associates the following exposi-
tion of his feelings and his opinions on taking
the Chair'Of Governor, to which he has been
called by the voice of his fellow-citizens of Ohio :
Inait Addrss of Joseph Vance, Governor of
Ohio, delivered before the General Assembly,
December 14, 1836.

GENTLEMEN OF THE SENATE
AND OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES:
In appearing before you to take the oath of office, custom
has made it necessary that I should make to our common
coiistirtehts, ri you presence, a declaration of what is to
be my course of policy in the discharge of the various duties
confided to my care by the Constitution and Laws of our
State.
3y oui Constitution, the duties of the Executive are
plainly set forth. Fortunately for the political tranquillity
of ourpeople, his.power is confined within narrow limits.
He has no patronage to draw around him a crowd of hun-
gry expectants, ministering to his vanity, and lauding his
patriotism. -T'Pfe framers of our Constitution have wisely
gurdedd against this, and those of them that have lived to wit-
uneA the beneficial effects of this restriction on Executive power,
and to compare our peaceable contests in the election of this
officer with the violent and bitter contests in some.of our sister
states, have reason to be proud of having had an agency in giv-
Singto'the State an instrument of such inestimable value. And
yet, Wvith ll the prudent and salutary restrictions contained in
'his nisriumeht,. it has still conferred upon the Executive a pow-
er of fearful responsibility--a power that authorizes him to step
betweenthe law and its victim, setting at defiance the verdicts
ofyour-juries and the decisions of your courts. Gentlemen,
the very thought of exercising this power causes me almost to
shrink back and- withdraw from the station I am about to as-
saume'. Iknow my own weakness, and fear that I shall lack
that nerve and energy that will enable me to resist the strong
supplications that will be made in favor -of the culprit. The
-!eourityof property and the peace of society rest upon the in-
'flexibilitygand sternness of your Executive officer, and in the
certainty that the:penalties of the law will be enforced and car-
'ri*intOr execution. It is alone in the certainty that punish-
ment will follow conviction that you can hope to restrain the
"vicious and arrest crime; and all interposition of Executive cle-
mercy"otit warranted by a stern regard to the principles of jus-
tioe loosens these restraints, and gives encouragement to the
evil passions and propensities of the profligate and the lawless.
Capital punishment is a subject of grave import; it co-nes in
convict with the opinions uF a large and meritorious class of our
fellow-cckizens, and it is not my purpose to call in question the
truth of these opinions.
It is sufficiefit for me to say, that the policy of the law is dif-
ferent, and that they, in common with other citizens of the State,
have a deep-interest'in its faithful execution. I will only add,
that, with all the reflection I have been able to bestow on this
subject, I have.come to the conclusion that the case must be
strong indeed that can justify the Executive in interposing his
clemency, and thus virtually take the-administration of justice,
into his own hands.
In my general course of administration, I will Uffow in the
path of my predecessors. All must-agree thit, let what may
have eenh'the difference in opinion owodgst them, in their indi-
.vidhal preferences f men, and general -politics, their State
policykas.been the same. ft will be my duty to follow their
lead, and-i will be my ambition not to fall short of them in my
exertionss togive stability and permanence to our institutions and
'State: policy, and peace, security, prosperity, and happiness to
-our people.
One prominent characteristic of our people is, their love of'
order and obedience to law ; and yet, by the thoughtless and
Sintemperate conduct-of a few restless individuals, the repose of
a portion of the citizens of our State has been seriously inter-
rupted. 'We, to be sure, have not had that fearful violence and
disregard of law stalking over our State, uprooting the very
foundations of civil ,government, setting at defiance all order
and restraint, that have been the fate of some of our sister States;
but enough has beer dine to show our citizens that it is alone
in the supremacy of- our laws that they can rest securely in
their persons and property.
Let us see, gentleinen, what ha been said upon this subject
:by one of the most enlightened statesmen and profound jurists
of the present age : It is a trite observation, but not on that ac-
count less correct, that the greatest of blessings become the
worse of curse when perverted andd abused. Without freedom
man is a poor, miserable, abject thing; the sport and-victim of
o ihistfellow man's rage, caprice, and cruelty, having neither vigor
of thought, motive for exertion, nor rational hope to grgtify. But
there can be no freedom without law.' Unrestrained liberty i*
anarchy; domination in the strong, slavery in the weak, outrage
and plunder in the combined oppressors, helpless misery in the
oppressed, insecurity, distru, and tfe.- et ,l-fyw, o" .... -
S rt a w t iro.wsts broad shield over-the rights
and interests of the humblest, the proudest, the poorest, and the
wealthiest in the land. It fences round what every individual
has.already gained; and it insures to him whatever his industry
may acquire. It saves the merchant against ruinous hazards;
provides security for the wages of the mechanic and the laborer,
and eiablea the husbandman to reap his harvest without fear of
plunder. The sanctity of the marriage tie, the purity of virgin
modesty, the leisure ofthe student, the repose of the aged, the
enterprise of the active, the support of indigence, and the de-
cencies of Divine worship, are all under its guardian care. It
makes.every man's house his castle, and keeps watch and ward
oveihis life, hid name, his family and his property. It travels
with him by land and bysea, and arrays, in defence of him and
his, the physical strength of the entire State."
HOw plainly does this eminent man show that the very foun-
dations of our social- compact are based upon our obedience to
i:the*;oonstittion and law. And here permit me to say, that that
man, be hixcharaoter or station in life what it may, that gives'
aiclandd:contenanoe to popular excitements, for the purpose of
putting down any grievance, pretended or real, is doing more to
sap the foundations of.our prosperity, shake the confidence of'
our people in our institutions than can the preaching of all the
misguided philanthropists, with all the combined aid and influ-
enee of the press attheir command throughout the United States.
If rd laws want etfciency, the corrective is in your hands; if
our judiciary want power, Jit rests with you to strengthen its
arm. But save, I entreat you-save this People from that vio-
-lence, anarchy, and confusion, which, if. not arrested, must end
(or al "alery'is ftlsified,) in sinking this Government into a
cruel and heartless despotism.
Gentlemen, die character of this State stands too high as a
member of the Confederacy not to call forth your whole ener-
gies to gfve peace and security to its citizens, permanency to
it* credit, and stability to its institutions. With States, as with
individuals, one false-step play indict a wound that years of ton-
trido_ and.repentance will beunable to heal. The.greatsources
'of our. present prouperity are to be traced to the stability of our
-lep1slation, the integrity of our judiciary, and the good faith
with whic.a.U our engagements have been kept, and our credit
sustained. Those diligent and intelligent servants of the State,
who haire bad charge of our-public improvements, have, by their
economy rmd judicious applcation.of our funds, placed our cre-
dit abroad ust oity upon elevated hbut enviable grounds; whilst
.the stern integrity and persevering industry of our judiciary
have been crowned with equally beneficial and salutary effects.
I havesagaHa ano again, whilst- oni business in the eastern cities,
heard'or judiciary spokenefin terms that made me proud that
.1 was a citizen of,0Ohio.

Nocqellusuioor fraud, sir," says-an eminent merchant of
mne'ofoiurealtern cities, can stand before your judiciary."'
This is the character, gentlemen, that causes capital to seek em-
ploymemt here; this is the character that givessecurity to our
rights, and.alnde. i nnoa p tir e ,b d pa.nmeu
are to be attributed a large. -pition of that flowing prosperity
thatis felt throughout avery portion ofour commonwealth.
The pe' Wif o rbur State are strictly republican. In their
b habDue iodstrnous, economical. and enterprising; they make no
unreasonable exactions -t the hands of their .public servants ;
they ask nothing, and watt nothing: but a well-regulated Go-
vernment of Itas-,fithfuliy, economically, and impartially ad-
mimnisred-imposing equal burdens, and conferring equal be-
nefits. They have nobly borne themselves through a system
of improvement that has thrown upon the background some of
their more wealthy and powerful sister States. A few more
years of patience and perseverance will diffused the benefits of
thia system throughout eyery section of our State. It cannot
then be doubted that those in the receipt ofthe benefits of works
already constructed, are- too just to: askat the hands of their
neighbors that which they, will note Wiilling to repay; and too
patriotic to fold their arms'in the enjaymeint of unlimited pros-
perityj the fruits oFa combined 'effort of the whole body of our
people, whi t anyportion of them resaiaunprovided for--
GeBttenren, there is-one other subje-ct: feel itto'bemy duty
to bioig to your consideration:
Under law of Congress, thatportion f-the surplus revenue
of the country belonging to Ohio' is about to be placed at your
diannam.l wdar~n l.... i.... .. r .., e ced.. -a

should be applied'to their exclusive benefit, a to no other use
or purpose whatever.
This find has been commonly, but erroneously, called the
surplus revenue. It is in reality the avails of.our great land
capital converted into money, and not revenue, which is the or-
dinary income of a country from jiposts and taxes on her pro-
perty, her trade, and her business. Thirty-five millions of the
balance, now in the Treasury of the United States, has arisen
from the sales of the public lands, since the payment of the na-
tional debt, for which these lands were pledged. This sum, at
least, is the inheritance of the People, originally gained by the
toil and suffering, and blood of their revolutionary fathers.
It is a sacred gift to us, now freed from encumbrance, and be-
longs alike to the whole body of ouir People,-"the humblest and
the proudest, the wealthiest and the most destitute." That
which we have received by the uncompromising fidelity of those
in whom the guardianship and trust was reposed, it is our duty
to invest and preserve, for ourselves and for our posterity.
Then, gentlemen, it is your duty to make the computation,
and see what portion of it belongs to the poor and the destitute.
Remember that you are now about to become their trustees and
guardians, and that a heavy responsibility rests upon you, to
make such application of their means as will enable them to be-
come worthy members of society, and enlightened and useful
citizens of the State. This can only be done by building up our
common schools.; and when we reflect that the very foundations
of our political system rest upon the virtue and intelligence of
ourPeople, and that the interest at stake is no less than the per-
petuation ot our free institutions, you cannot falter in your exer-
tions to accomplish the great object in view.
Read our Constitution, and there learn what were the feel-
ings of our fathers upon this subject. The twenty-fifth section
of the eighth article reads thus : "No law shall be passed to pre-
vent the poor in the several counties'and townships in this State
from an equal participation in the schools, academies, colleges,
and universities of this State, endowed in whole or in part from
the revenues arising from donations made by the United States."
How has this injunction been regarded? We, to be sure,
have not passed a law to prohibit the poor from entering our col-
leges and universities; but from a want of that system and or-
ganization so necessary to give efficiency to our common schools,
they are as much excluded as if they were prohibited by positive
,statute. --
Our school system has had great difficulties to encounter-it
has been met by the combined force of avaricei.wealth, and ig-
norance ; but I now congratulate its early advocates that their
labors are about to be crowned with success. A fund is now
within their reach that avarice has no claim to, wealth cannot
control, and which will make ignorance itself acknowledge its
fatal error, and bow in perfect submission. Then let the grumb-
ler no more talk about his heavy contributions for the education
of the poor; if the poor and the destitute get their rights, they
will be no longer quartered upon his bounty; but rather let it
be our ambition to vie with each other in our exertions, to bring
into form a system of education, which will ensure a faithful and
impartial application of the means now at our command, with
those in prospect, so that the diffusion of the benefits and bless-
ings of a thorough common school education shall reach every
child throughout every section of our State.
No person can appreciate more sensibly than myself the want
of an early education; even in the place in which I now stand,
it is felt with a pungency and force more easily understood than
explained. This whole matter is now about to be committed to
your care; and I have a strong confidence that it will meet with
that favor that its high claims upon your consideration so loudly
call for.
Gentlemen, you-have been so fully advised of the condition
and wants of the State by my predecessor, that any thing further
froes me atp'resent will not be expected. In the course of the
session information coming into my possession, which the du-
'ty'ofmy station makes it necessary to lay before your body,
shall be done with that freedom and good faith that ought to
characterize the intercourse between the Legislative and Exe-
cutive branches of ourState Government. That your delibera-
tions may be conducted with harmony and mutual forbearance
towards each other, and your labors such as to build up the in-
terests and prosperity of our State, and diffuse the benefits of onr
free institutions equally arid impartially amongst all classes of
society, is the earnest wish of your friend and fellow-citizen.

HOUSE ,OF REPRESENTATIVES.

REMARKS OF MR. REYNOLDS, (or ILLINOIS:)
On his presentation.of the preamble and resolutions
on the subject of the National Road.-Dec. 22.

Mr. SPEAKER : I a sorry that I am compelled, by a sense
of duty, to address the House oh this s-ubject, which, I fear, is
not very interesting to my friends, the members of this House ;
and I cannot promise them in my remarks any thing like elo-
quence or oratory, that will be entertaining to them.
This is a subject of great interest and importance to the whole
State of Illinois, and particularly to the district which I have
the honor to represent on this floor. Its interest to the People
is the reason I now address you.
The preamble and resolution now under consideration were
adopted by the General Assembly of the State by a unanimous
vote.
The State has assumed the principles and doctrines of State
rights, which I consider are constitutional and correct, and such
as can be maintained and demonstrated on a proper exposition of
the Constitution of our Government.
Without further comment or preface, I will read the pream-
ble and resolutions which passed the Legislature of the State of
Illinois by a unanimous vote :
Whereas, it is the opinion of the Legislature of the State of
Illinois, now in session, that the route which the National road
should pursue, if extended so as to cross the Mississippi river at
the town of Alton, would be in entire accordance with its ulti-
mate destination, the capital of the State of Missouri; would be
more advantageous to the commercial and agricultural interests
of this State, and afford to her inhabitants, and tffbse of her sis-
ter States, a more direct and convenient chain of intercommuni-
cation than any other route: and whereas the passage of said
road across the Mississippi river at St. Louis would not only be
highly detrimental to the prosperity of this State, but in violation
of her just pretensions and of her rights of sovereignty, contra-
ry to the avowed policy of the General Governmentj and in
open defiance of those principles of even-handed justice and
impartiality which have characterized her dealings with other
States in relation to this matter :
Therefore, be it resolved by the General Assembly of the
State of Illinois, That the consent of the State of Illinois is
hereby given to the Federal Government, to extend the Na-
tional road through the territory of said State, so as to cross the
Mississippi river at the town of Alton, in said State, and at no
other point.
"Resolved, That our Sen.tors in Congress be instructed, and
our Representatives requested, to use their best exertions to
procure the passage of a law authorizing the survey of the route
from Vandalia to Jefferson city,.by the way of Alton, and for the
continuation of the National road upon said route."
It will be perceived by every member of this House, that this
resolution presents a subject of much importance, and one on
which various opinions have been entertained.
This subject being new, and of difficult solution, I have the
same pleasure in presenting it to this learned and intelligent
assembly as the celebrated personage of antiquity had in defind-
ing himself before King Agrippa. St. Paul said that he was
happy to have the privilege to address ajudge who was leirn-
ed in all the laws and customs of the Jews. So do I tlink
myselfhappy" to have the honor to present this subject before
an assembly that are intelligent and learned in the laws and
Constitution of their country.
It is a principle, acknowledged by all constitutional lawyers.
and constitutional writers, that the Congress of the United SRat es
possess no power of action further than is expressly giyen them
by the Constitution. And on an attentive and careful exaraina-
tion of that instrument, it will be found that there exists no
power in Congress to force on a State such improvements as are
contemplated by this National road.
I would ask any gentleman in this House if he would vote
for an improvement of the country, such as the National road
is, contrary to the express will and consent of the State in which
the road was to be located? I do not believe there can be a case
found in the history of this Government, where the General
Government has forced on a State, contrary to the will and con-
sent of the State, a road, or any such improvement.
The United States possesses the power to make all necessary
roads for her military operations. This power arises from her
exclusive and constitutional authority over the subject of war and
all its consequences. -
The National road which is new under consideration is not pre-
tended to be a military road, or in any manner connected with
the military operationsof the Government. The Constitution
of the United States expressly authorizes Congrss "to estab-
lish post offices and post roads." Congress having the constitu-
tional authority and jurisdiction over this subject, must, as a ne-
cessary consequence, have the power to establish" postroutes
or post roads. The Congress, at their last session, established
a great many post-roads all over the Union. This is the estab-
lishment which, in my opinion, is contemplated by the Consti-
tution, and not the making of a road such as tkie National road is.
It would not be seriously contended by a.ny one that, under
the provisions of the Constitution on this subject, Congress
would be bound, or would have the constitutional competency,
to make and cttout a road wherever they establish a post route.
The National road is, in fact, no more a post road than it is a
military road; and, consequently, the General Government,
under the provisions of the Constitution, have no power to force
it on. the States. .. -..... ..
If C'Ol~ I U ~-yii p-uwel, wIIIouILL mn consent of the
States through which th's road passes, to make and open.it in
the States, then it must follow as a matter of necessity that Con-
gress also possess the power to keep these roads in repair ; and
in order to do this, they must establish toll-gates and toll-collec-
tors on them. They must also possess the jurisdiction and oe'-
trol over them; and, consequently, must establish courts, and
appoint officers ..to enforce the acts of Congress, in the exercise
of their jurisdiction over them. If Congress have the power,
without the ,consent of the States, to make these roads, they
must exercise all the jurisdiction and power above enumerated,
in exclusion of the State authorities. This must be the neces-
sary consequence, if they have the power, in the first instance,
to make the roads. .
I believe that there is no American citizen who would be -wil-
ling to see the United States assume and exercise-the exclu: mive
jurisdiction and control over these national improvements, ;,ad
deprive the States of their constitutional sovereignty and rig its
within the limits of their own territory.
I have heard intelligent gentlemen contend that, if the Unit ed
States had the power to make the National road at all, th, y
would have it as well without as with the consent of the Stat e-
through which the road may pass. I consider this position to Ile
without foundation and untenable.
A State has the power and right to admit any individual, oIr
set of men, to expend their money in the State in such way or-
manner as the State may think proper and right. We see com-...
panies frequently incorporated by State authority to make roads,,
canals, and such improvements. They act under the authority
of the State. They may be considered the agents or servants of"
the State, as they act under the control and laws of the State, and

not by their own authority.
In the same.manner, when the State gives her consent to the
General Government to make a road within the. limits of the
State, the United States acts not by its own authority, but by the
power and authority delegated to it by the State Government.
The General Government act under the authority of the State,
and, like all other agents, cannot transcend the power given.
This view of the subject is demonstrated by an act of the Ge-
neral Assembly of the State of Maryland, passed in November,
1802, which is in the following words, to wit:
"That this State do hereby give and grant their full approba-
tion and consent that the Congress of the United States may ap-
propriate, towards repairing, and keeping in repair, the post
roads, or any one or more of them, within this State, such sum or
sums of money as they in their wisdom may deem right, and to
lay out*and apply the same to said purpose in any manner they

by law direct: Provided, That nothing herein contained shall
extend, ormay be construed to extend, to authorize Congress to
pass any law for the changing the direction of the roads, or any
of them, as now established, or to authorize them to pass a law
for the opening of a new road."
The above recited act gives a construction to the constitutional
power of Congress, and demonstrates the position that Congress
is governed in its action on this subject by the authority of the
State Government.
This view ofthe subject is also fortified by Congress trans-
ferring the National road to the States east of the Ohio, through
which the road passes. Congress, by this act, disclaims'the
jurisdiction and exclusive control over this road, and transfers
all her claim to it to the respective States in which it is located.
This is an 'acknowledgment that the General Government
had not the power or jurisdiction over this improvement, to the'
exclusion of the State Governments.
It isa principle acknowledged by all that the construction
and exposition given to a law, or to a constitution, at or near the
time the law or constitution was made, is of greater force and
validity than a construction given at any other time.
In eighteen hundred and six, which is not a great length of
time after the Constitution of the United States was adopted, an
act of Congress passed on this very subject, and gave a con-
struction to that instrument. Thisis the first act which was
passed on the subject, and it is the act that established the Cum-
berland or National road.
'I will readto-you, Mr. Speaker, a part of the act of Congress
which requires the President of the'United States to obtain the
consent of the States through which this road was to be located.
Commissioners were to be appointed by this act: and. on their

Cumberland, in the State of Maryland, t3 the State of Ohio,' I
appointed Ibomas Moore, of Maryland, Joseph Kerr, of Ohio,
and Eli Williams, of Maryland, commissioners to lay out the
said road, and to perform the other duties assigned to them by
the act. The progress which they made in the execution of the
work, during the last session, will appear in their report now
communicated to Congress. On the receipt of it, I took mea-
sures to obtain consent for making the road, of the States of
Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia, through which the com-
missioners proposed to lay it out. I have received acts of the
Legislatures of Maryland and Virginia, giving the consent, de-
sired ; that of Pennsylvania has the subject still under consider-
ation, as is supposed. Until I receive full consent to a free
choice of route through the whole distance, I have thought it
safest neither to accept nor reject, finally, the partial report of
the commissioners. Some matters suggested in the report be-
long exclusively to the Legislature.
"TH. JEFFERSON.
"January 31, 1807."
It is-almost useless to observe, that no person everstood higher
for splendid talents, and for a complete and perfect knowledge
of our Constitution, and the nature of ur Government, than Pre-
sident Jefferson did ; and he deemed it necessary to have the
"full consent" of the States to a free choice of the route,
through the whole distance," before he could cause the road to
be made.
S Mr. Speaker, I will trouble the House with only a few acts
of the State Governments in which this road was located.
The following is an act of the General Assembly of Mary-
land, which passed January 4, 1807, and fully recognises the
principle that'the General Government has na power to make
the improvement without the "consent" of the State :
"Whereas a law passed the Congress of the United States on
the 29th of March, 1806, directing the laying out of a road from
Cumberland, on the Potomac river, to the Ohio; and the con-
sent of this State being necessary to the opening of the same, so
far as it may run within her limits: therefore,
"Be it enacted by the' General Assembly of Maryland,
That it shall be lawful, and the full and entire consent of the
State of Maryland is hereby given to the opening and improv-
ing the same ; and-the President of the United States is hereby
authorized to cause the said road to be laid out, opened, and im-
proved, in such way and manner as by the before recited act 'of
Congress is required and directed."
An act passed the General Assembly of the State of Pennsyl-
vania on the 9th April, 1807, on this subject, and is as follows,
to wit:
That the President of the United States be, and he is here-
by, authorized to cause so much of the said road as will be in
this State to be opened, so far as it may be necessary the same
should pass through this State, and to cause the said road to be
made, regulated, and completed within the limits, and according
to the intent and meaning of the before recited act of Congress
in relation thereto."
Mr. Speaker, I will not trouble the House by reading any of
the acts or resolutions of the General Assemblies of the States
of Virginia, Ohio, or Indiana, through which this road passes.
It will be found, on examination, that the consent of all the States,
from one end of this road to the other, has been given to the
General Government to construct the road, before the United
States commenced it.
It seems to me there cannot exist a doubt in the mind of any
one that will examine the subject attentively, and see the course
of the General Government, and of the States also, on this sub-
ject, that Congress has not the constitutional power to force an
examination of this character on any State.
If Congress assume this power and exercise it, State rights
and State sovereignty might be prostrated. If Congress can
force a road on a State four rods wide, it can force into a State
one of forty miles wide, and must, of necessity, exercise exclu-
sive jurisdiction over it. This would be ufireasonable, and de-
structive to our system of Governments. It would have a ten-
dency to the formation of a consolidated Government, which
would destroy State rights and State Governments.
The President, in his late message, of December, 1836, re-
cognises this principle where he says that "the great struggle
was begun against that latitudinarian construction of the Consti-
tution which authorizes the unlimited appropriation of the re-
venue of the Union to internal improvement within the States;
tending to invest in the hands, and place under the control, of
the General Government, all the principal roads and canals of
the country, in violation of State rights, and in derogation of
State authority."
This principle being demonstrated, that Congress has no pow-
er to make these works without the "consent' of the State in
which they are located, the necessary consequence is-growing
out of the above resolution-that the National road must cross
the Mississippi river at Alton, in the State of Illinois. If the
road does not cross the river at Alton, the consent of the State is
given to locate it "at no other point."
It is proper ard right to mention that there is a contest be-
tween the States of Illinois and Missouri ab9ut the location of
this road. The State of Illinois, as I have before remarked, is
unanimous in her resolution to locate it at Alton ; and the rep-
resentativ's of the people of Missouri wish it located so as to
cross the Mississippi at St. Louis, in that State.
The people of Illinois entertain no unfriendly feelings to-
wards the State of Missouri or the city of St. Louis. We are
proud of the growth and prosperity of the State and of their city,
but we are not so friendly to them as to advance their interests
to the disparagement and destruction of our own rights and in-
terests. We do not love Caesar less, but Rome more."
We, the people of Illinoia,-consider it our-duty to advance our
own happin..c a d :mterest, when it is not to do an injury or
wrong to the State of Missouri or to the United States. We do
not wish to injure St. Louis, but we are anxious to advance our
own State and Alton.
At a recent election, under a statute law of the State of Illi-
nois, a vote was taken for the location of the seat of Government
of the State, and Alton received mome votes than any other place;
by which proceeding, it is almost certain that Alton will become
the seat of Government for the State; and as the policy of the
States through which the Natidrial road passes, and that also of
the General Government, is, to locate it so as to pass the seats
of the State Governments, this policy will, I hope, be extended
to Illinois, as well as to other States.
Alton is one of the most flourishing and commercial towns ini
the State of Illinois. I am informed that it and its environs con-
tain a population of four or five thousand souls; and I know it
is rapidly increasing in populatiori, business, and importance.
And although Alton may not contain as great a population as
St. Louis, yet there is in the State of Illinois an immense num-
ber of people more than in the State of Missouri, which ought
to be a strong argument in favor of the State of Illinois.
Mr. Speaker, it is almost unnecessary for me to state to this
House at this time, that the National road has been located no
farther west than to Vandalia, the seat of Government of the
State of Illinois; and the resolution before us gives the consent
of the State to continue it'in that State to Alton, towards its
ultimate destination, Jefferson City, in the State of Missouri;
and, judging from the best information I can obtain, the route by
Alton from Vandalia to Jefferson City will be found, on actual
survey, to be the best and shortest for the continuation of the

road*
If this resolution gave the consent of the State to cross the
Mississippi river at a point entirely out of the direction from
Vandalia to Jefferson City, then I would say it was unreason-
able, and ought not to be urged on the consideration of this
House. On such occasion, I should regret to find myself advo-
cating a course of policy so absurd and unjust. But when I am
clearly satisfied that the route by Alton is the nearest and best
from Vandalia to Jeffersen City, and that the General Govern-
ment will take into consideration the will, interest, and "con-
sent" of the State, in tke location of this road, I feel a conscious
rectitude in my course, and will pursue it uncaring of conse-
quences."
I consider it my duty to pursue this course at this session of
Congress, in conformty to the resolution of the General Assem-
bly, and in accordance to the voice of the People, expressed in
a meeting had on the occasion. The proceedings of this meet-
ing were printed and laid on the table of each member.
Having finished my remarks on this resolution, I move to re-
fer it to the Committee on Roads and Canals.

POLITICS OF THE DAY.

ON THE FUTURE SURPLUS.

S FROM THE SOUTHERN WHIG, (GEORGIA,) DEC. 24.
Mr. JONES : I perceive that many of the Slates,
and Georgia among the rest, protest against any
further accumulation and distribution of the sur-
plus revenue of the General Government. If
this disclaimer refer to the taxes which that Go-
vernment has a right to impose, it is just and
proper; but if the proceeds of the public lands
are included, the States are yielding a right
which is not justified by any consideration of
propriety or sound policy. I believe it a posi-
tion not difficult to establish, that the proceeds
of the public lands (at least that portion of them
northwest of the Ohio river, ceded by the State
of Virginia in the year '84, before the adoption
of the Federal Constitution, to the States, then
held together by the articles of confederation,)
belong to the respective States, and not in their
federal character. I believe, further, that the
General Government is a trustee of this fund for
the benefit of the several States, and if it were
suable in a Court of Equity, it could be made not only to
divide the present amount of money in hand, derived from
the sales in that territory, but to account for all sums ex-
pended in behalf of the Federal Government. To sustain
these views I offer the following evidence, and only request
that the case be considered as pending in a Court of Jus-
tice, the States being plaintiffs, and the General Govern-
ment the defendant.
1st. I submit the articles of confederation, adopted on the
9th day of July, 1778, and from them the following clau-
ses, to wit : Each State shall maintain its own delegates
in a meeting of the States [Congrees,] and while they actas
members of the committee of the States," [in the recess of
Congress.] Again, all charges of war, and all other ex-
penses that shall be incurred for the common defence or ge-
neral welfare, and allowed by the United States in Con-
gress assembled, shall be defrayed out of a common Trea-
sury, which shall be supplied by the several States, in pro-
portion to the value of all land within each State, granted
to or surveyed for any person, as such land and the build-
ings and improvements thereon shall be estimated, accord-
ing to such mode as the United States in Congress assem-
bled shall, from time to time, direct and appoint. The taxes
for paying that proportion shall be laid and levied by the
authority and direction of the Legislatures of the several
States within the time agreed upon by the United States in
Congress assembled." I quote these clauses for two pur-
poses: 1st. to show that, under the articles ot confedera-
tion, the States, in their individual capacity, supported the
Federal Government, and that it had no other resources or
means of support. 2d. (the use of which will be seen here-
after,) to show the rate or measure of the charges and ex-
penses of each State.
I next present the articles of cession executed on the 1st
of March, 1784, between the State of Virginia on the one
part, and the Congress of the United States, under the ar-
ticles of confederation, on the other.
1st. The State of Virginia authorized certain commis-
sioners (which was done under their hands and seals,) "to
convey, transfer, assign, and make over unto the United
States in Congress assembled, FOR THE BENEFIT
OF SAID STATES, VIRGINIA INCLUSIVE,. all
right, title, and claim, as well of soil as of jurisdiction,
which the said commonwealth hath to the territory or tract
of country within the limits of the Virginia charter, situate,
lying, and being to the northwest of the river OHIo, to and
for the USES and purposes, and on the conditions of the
said recited act."
Now, 2d. One of the uses and conditions of the said re-
cited act is in the following words, viz. That all the lands
within the territories so ceded to the United States, and
not reserved for, or appointed to, any of the beforemen-
tioned purposes, or disposed of in bounties to the officer--
and soldiers of the American Army, shall be c as
a COMMON FUND for the USE and' JE'3rriof such of
the United States as have bear-Me, or shall become, mem-
bers of the Conjed-f-aodn or Federal alliance of the said
States, VJRCoNIA INCLUSIVE, according to their usual respec-
tive proportions of the GENERAL CHARGE and EXPENDITURE,
and shall be faithfully and bona fide disposed of for that
purpose, andfor no other USE or PURPOSE whatsoever."
Can words be more explicit? I said the General Gov-
ernment was a TRUSTEE for the States. Here are the legal
and technical-words that not only imply but absolutely
create a trust. I grant to the United States in Congress
assembled for the use and benefit of said States, (myself in-
cluded,) so said Virginia. Now, if it was intended for the
United States in their confederated character, it was only
necessary to stop at the words United States," and the
rest followed as a matter of course; but when Virginia
takes the pains specially to include herself, and particular-
ly specifies the measure and manner of division, we can be
at no loss to arrive at her intention to distribute the com-
mon fund," (once all her own,) among her sister States,
especially if we bear rh mind, as already cited, that each
State had to furnish her quota of money to defray the
charges and expenses" ofthe Federal Government. The
then Federal Government could have no'funds, or, in the
language of the Articles, no Common Treasury," but in
the way provided by that instrument. It was to be sup-
plied by the several States," and it may be boldly affirmed
that no other method can be found in that compact.
But there is a view of this question which is perfectly
conclusive. Suppose the States had remained under the
articles of confederation, and had never adopted the pre-
sent Federal Constitution, what would have become of the
proceeds of the public lands thus ceded by Virginia ? What
would the old Congress, having no powers to raise revenue,
and no right to use or retain money but in a way specially
provided in the charter of their authority, have done with
the money arising from the sales ? How could it have
evaded this unequivocal clause in the contract made with
Virginia, to wit: "the lands thus ceded shall be consider-
ed as a common fund, for the s e and benefit of such of the
United States as have become, or shall become, members

of the confederation or federal alliance of the said States,
Virginia inclusive, according to their usual respective pro-
portions of the general charge and expenditure, and shall be
faithfully and bonafide disposed of for that purpose, and for
no other use or purpose whatsoever?" Does not every one
perceive that the Federal Government would have been
compelled, if it acted faithfully, to pay over to the States
their respective shares of the proceeds of the lands as they
were disposed of for the use and benefit of said States,
Virginia inclusive It is no good objection to say the
States would have had to pay it back to the Federal Gov-
ernment; that might or might not have been the case;
there might have been a surplus then as there is now. The
Federal Government was largely indebted to some of the
States, and that, at least, had to be exhausted in the way of
supplies from the creditor State, before her dividend of the
land proceeds could be touched. But apart from these con-
idatinons, it was the terms of the bond," and it was obli-
ged to be complied with.
This view of the subject is obliged to settle the case, un-
less the change of Government, or,in other words, the adop-
tion of the Federal Constitution,has conferred upon the pre-
.sent Government a title to these lands and their proceeds,
aramount to the one above shown to exist in the States.
f so, let it be shown. It is incumbent upon the defendant
to produce his grant. Let him show the instrument by
which the right has passed out of the States, and vested in
himself. We might safely conclude the cause here, under
the utmost confidence that no deed can be shown which
revokes the articles of cession made by Virginia, the title
under which the States rightfully claim, but plaintiffs can
show that they have been extremely mindful of this inte-
rest, for in the Constitution agreed to in September, '89,
nearly six years after the Virginia cession which changed
the Government, or rather abrogated the articles of con-
federation, they expressly provide these saving clauses, to
wit: All debts contracted, and engagements entered into
before the adoption of this Constitution, shall be as valid
against the United States, under this Constitution, as under
the Confederation."-6th Art. Again, in the 4th article,
it ; la 3 rlM.l .t ...... ._ 1 t. ... ... t -

the pledge given by Congress to the States, before a single
cession was made; that it abrogates the conditions upon
which some of the States come into the Uqion; and that it
sets at naught the terms of cession spread upon the face of
every grant under which the title to that portion of the
public lands is held by the Federal Government ?V Again,
he says, alluding to the deeds of cession: the Constitu-
tion of the United States did not delegate to Congress the
power to abrogate these compacts. On the contrary, by
declaring that nothing in it 'shall be construed to prejudice
any claims of the United States, or of any particular State,'
it virtually provides that those compacts shall remain-un-
touched by the legislative power, which shall only make
all' needful rules and regulations' for carrying them into
effect."
Now, however, things are changed, because he wants to
reduce the surplus revenue he recommends in his late mes-
sage to diminish the price of the public lands, and to dis-
pose of them only to actual settlers. This will be a fraud
upon the States, and ought to be resisted, as well as all at-
tempts to give any portion of the lands or their proceeds,
over and above their rightful share, to any of the new
States. Congress has already violated the Virginia com-
pact by the vast cessions of land for various purposes, made
to the new States, as well as a donation to them of large
sums of money arising from their sale. An immediate stop
should be put to such a.faithless disposition of that com-
mon fund," so generously reserved by Virginia for the
"use and benefit" of the whole of her sister States. I can-
didly admit that the States should lay no claims to any
other lands, or their proceeds, than those derived from the
sales northwest of the Ohio river; for, although oihel
States, and particularly Georgia, have made similar ces-
sions, and almost in exact terms, yet, as they were made
subsequent to the adoption of.the Federal Constitution, I
think the question, by reason thereof, is very materially
varied. If, however, we can get what justly belongs to us,
it will be enough for all useful purposes. The vast amounts
which have accrued for the last forty years, since the adop-
tion of the Federal Constitution, in which the Government
had ample power to raise means for its support, independent
of the land fund, will greatly lessen the qualms of con-
science which some seem to have about taking any part of
the surplus revenue, and protesting that such another dose
must not be put before them. Surely, since that timethere
can be no excuse either to use or withhold the land reve-
nue from the States. For my part, I believe we have not
obtained our own by many millions; and although, in the
distribution now about to be made, there is part of it that does
not rightfully belong to the States, because it is revenue
from other sources than that of land sales, yet there is
enough behind, which we ought to have, that will compen-
sate for the gratuity, if it be so considered, ten times over.
Let us come to a fair settlement, and we may and ought to
refund whatever is received over and above a fair division
of the proceeds of the public lands, under the solemn com-
pact of the State of Virginia. This is our right. In this
there is no degradation, no servile dependence on that Go-
vernment, and, poising ourselves upon our just rights, we
should exact their strict observance.

PTO THE EDITORS.

Messrs. GAIEs & SEATON: In your paper of
this morning you express a wish that the truth
may be-ascertained, of an intimation; to which
it seems a' Boston paper has -given countenance,
that the Hobn. CHARLES J, HOLMES, one of the
Massachusetts Electors, held an office under
the United States, at the time of giving lis
vote, as Elector, for President and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States. Mr. HLMES is a
gentleman of great intelligence and respectabi-
lity, and nobody who kndows him would sup-
pose for a moment that he could be guilty of so
gross an incorrectness. Will you now please
to state that, in point of fact, Mr. HOLMES, who
had held the office of postmaster for the town
of Rochester, in the county of Plymouth, an
being nominated as an Elector, immediately re-
signed his office of postmaster; that another
person was appointed postmaster in his place
on the llth day of October; that Mr. HOLMES
was chosen an Elector on the 13th day of No-
vember, and gave his vote for President and
Vice President on the first Monday in Decem-
ber, according to the provision of the Consti-
tution.

ON AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA.

TALLAHASSEE, SEPT. 18, 1836.
Messrs. GALES & SEATON: Gentlemen: In your paper
of the 27th of August you did mte the favor to publish a
communication in relation to the ftate of the war in Flo-
rida. The reason which formed one of the considerations
with you for the admission of that article, viz. "the na-
tural sensibility felt by the writer for the honor of his
fellow-citizens of Florida, which he deems to have been
assailed," operates more cogently now with him to offer one
more piece for publication in your paper.
In the Intelligencer of the 31st of August there appeared
a well-written piece by a writer signing himself "Aris-
tides," which, besides reiterating the old charge against the
Florida volunteers for misconduct at the battle of the
Wythlacoochee, introduces a new matter of accusation
against the Territory, because of the failure of the contem-
plated summer camDaign. The sole design of this writer
seems to be to throw discredit and disgrace upon the popu-
lation of Florida. No other motive is discernible. Itap-
pears not to be designed to justify or vindicate any man or
party of men, except very remotely and by reaction, and so
far as the failure of a mere contemplated campaign can
furnish ex post facto" justification for the failure of a
former one actually undertaken.
But, let me ask, in the first place, who are the citizens of
Florida thus denounced-as recreant and degenerate from the
characteristic valor of their countrymen ? Very few of
them are native to the soil of Florida. In Middle Florida,
which contains more than half the population of the whole
Territory, there exists not one native citizen old enough to
bear arms. Whence are they derived From the States
of Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, prin-
cipally. They are emigrants from these and other States,
who, from a spirit of adventure, have encountered the hard-
ships and perils of a new country; and strange, indeed,
would it be, andcageinst all experience, if such men pos-
sessed less enterprise andi couwge than the other citizens of
their native States. In point offatq, the citizens of Flo-
rida are men of the-same physical, intellect..l, and moral
qualities with those of the States whose soil nurture their
bodies, and gave them their temperaments, and whose in-
stitutions fashioned and formed their minds. They claim
no greater share of patriotism or valor than belongs to their
fellow-citizens of the other States, and they will not tamely
submit to the imputation of possessing less. This general
consideration alone should, with reflecting men, vindicate
them from the imputations which have been so unjustly
cast upon them; but I will proceed to give a more specific
answer to the charges of this writer.
It is not my purpose to discuss the-expedienoy of a surm-
mer campaign now that the summer season has passed away,
and as I have in my former piece stated some reasons in its
favor. But is it a fair subject of censure and ridicule, that the
Governor of Florida, when the lives of his fellow-citizens
were daily exposed by the cruel inroads of the savages,
should have sought, at the earliest possible period, to rally
a force for their defence But, whatever may have been
the merits or demerits of the scheme, its failure is not to be
ascribed to the citizens of Florida, nor to their Executive.
The extract from the proclamation of the Governor of
Florida, furnished by "Aristides," shows that its citizens
were merely invited to act as auxiliary to a large volunteer
force expected from Tennessee. Thesummer passed with-
out the appearance of any such force. The Tennessee
volunteers, for reasons which reflect no discredit upon them,
are only now (20th September) near Tallahassee.
But this writer charges that, in answer to the proclama-
tion of their Governor, but one single man in Middle Florida
volunteered for the summer campaign." Now, the point
of this charge turns upon the artifice or error of this writer,
in confounding the term for which the citizens of Florida
were, in the proclamation of the 18th June, called on to
volunteer, with that of the summer campaign." And yet
the services were very different. By the proclamation, the
citizens of Florida were invited to volunteer, not for a
summer campaign," but for the term of twelve months, un-
der a law of Congress authorizing the levying of 10,000
men for the defence of the Western frontier. This was a

very different engagement from that of a summer cam-
paign" But why is it a charge against the citizens of
Florida that they have not enrolled themselves under this
law 1 Have the citizens of other States, who have been
also appealed to, been more eager for this service ? So far
as we are yet informed, there is not one corps, one compa-
ny, one man, that has volunteered for twelve months; and
if there was one single man in Middle Florida" who did
volunteer for that term, he stood alone in the United States,
and Florida may claim the honor of the exception. The
sneering quotations, then, of this writer, and of his corres-
pondent, from Governor Call's proclamation, and the
changes rung, or the ordinary terms of incitement used in
such a paper, and on their failure to produce the desired ef-
fect, become mere verbiage and declamation, without mean-
ing, but for the malice or levity they indicate in their au-
thors.
It is not true, however, that but a single man in all
Middle Florida volunteered for the summer campaign."
Since May, when the danger of the country became appa-
rent, there have been constantly in the field hundreds
of volunteers from Middle, as well as from East and West
Florida, ready for any service. They have sallied forth
from their comfortable domicils," (to use the sportive term
of this very jocose writer,) with the fixed purpose "of
seeking their enemy," though.the delay of assistance from
other quarters did prevent them from seeking him "in his
stronghold." And there is not the least doubt that, if the
expected auxiliary force had arrived in the dog days," even
under their malign influence, there would have been other
volunteers to the full extent of the ability of the country to
furnish them.
Can it be knownto the writers who so cruelly and un-
justly abuse this peop that more than one-third of all the
people capable of bear a arms in Middle Florida have
been constantly carrying oh a summer campaign, traver-
sing hammocks, swamps, an abyrinths," more intricate
and impenetrable in themselves n those of the dreaded
Wythlacoochee ? That, besides t services of these men
engaged for a term of from four to si months, other por-
tions have been, during the whole period, ed out on emer-
gencies, from 10, 15 or 20 days, to defend dheir comfort-
able domicils" against the Creeks, as well a against the
Seminoles ? Comfortable domicils," indeed! hhen not
a man, from Tallahassee to the furthest East, coul v his
head on his pillow, without the fear of being roused b e
yells of the savage, of the Seminoles from the South a
East, or of the equally savage Creeks from the North and
West! When men were shot down in their fields, and
.1 1 ,1 i i .

In what miserable taste then, are all these sneering,
ironical epithets of brave Floridians," &c. &c., as applied
to these men! and how unbecoming the tone of levity which
pervades this piece, and id genus omne I"
And what is the provocation we have given to this wri-
ter, and to the army to which he manifestly belongs ? None
whatever. The service of the Army in Florida has not
been a thankless service," as this writer btates-P for here
they are respected and admired, and their valuable services
are acknowledged with gratitude by all. As to the epithet
of" rascally regulars," which Aristides uses as a quotation;
no man with whom I have conversed ever before heard of
it. If ever used in Florida, it was the inconsiderate re-
mark of some light-minded vulgar man. Aristides himself
disparages the Army by supposing it obnoxious to such
low abuse, and in deeming them worthy of notice. I aver
that, since thefirst battle of the Wythacoochee, I have
not conversed with a single individual who has not spoken
in the highest terms of praise of the Army generally, ex-
cepting only a few of its highest officers, against whom
they do urge well-grounded cause of complaint. And every
"affair" in which detachments of the regular Army have
since been engaged, (and in each of which they have been
successful,) they have exhibited even more than their cha-
racteristic valoi, and have increased those favorable senti-
ments.
It only remains that I attempt to answer the charge last
in order, but "the primal eldest" one in date, made by
"Aristides" against the citizens of Florida-their conduct
at the battle of the Wythlacoochee, in December, 1835.
After referring to the statement in General Clinch's offi-
cial report, that only three officers and twenty-seven men
of the volunteers joined the "regulars" in combat with the
Indians, this writer adds, "but he (Gen. Clinch) does not
,explain why the residue of the Florida volunteers remained,
as it would seem, mere spectators of the fight." Not ha-
ving the means of referring to Gen. Clinch's report, I do
not undertake, from recollection, to say how he explains a
matter so simple and susceptible of explanation, or whe-
ther he attempts to explain it at al, But I do undertake
to say, that no part of that report gives the least color to
the imputation'conveyed in the last clause of the above ci-
tation from "Aristides," that "the volunteers were mere
spectators of the fight." This is the language of "Aris-
tides," and not of Gen. Clinch.
Not having been with that expedition to the Wythlacoo-
chee, it may be rash in the writer of this piece to attempt
to answer the questions which Aristides" propounds, but
he has heard the affair so often described by unexception-
able eye-witnesses,kthathe deems a satisfactory answer most
easy.
The questions put by this writer are : Why did any of
the volunteers remain on the opposite bank of the river
out of the action ?" and "why did the main body, which
is said to have crossed over, not advance to engage the ene-
my ?" A simple and summary answer to these questions
would be in the following terms, and would be justified by
the facts of the case :
The volunteers were on the opposite side of the river
when the action began, and they did not there remain one
moment after it was possible to cross, and after they re-
ceived orders or permission to cross; and
The main body which is said to have-crossed," (and
which did cross over,) did advance to engage the enemy so
soon as they had crossed.
These assertions can be proved beyond doubt, and I
venture to assert, that no one who witnessed the affair will
gainsay them, and they contain a full vindication of the
Florida volunteers. But a more detailed explanation of
this affair is proper, as much for the justification of the of-
ficers in command, as of the men.
When this army marched to the Wythlacoochee, the In-
dians had afforded to their troops no demonstration of a de-
termination to fight a battle. At that time, the fatal affair
of the lamented Dade was unknown, and the universal im-
pression was, that the resistance of the Indians would be
merely passive. No man expected an attack from them;
or even a pitched battle. This explanation is wanted to
account for the want of caution in the subsequent advance.
On arriving at the river, a deep and rapid stream, the only
means of transportation was a canoe, capable of conveying
eight men at a freight. The regulars (infantry) were pass-
ed over, and they, without waiting for the mounted volun-
teers to make good their passage, marched in advance from
300 to 400 yards, piled their arms, and reposed themselves
on the ground. In this state of fancied security they re-
mained until the attack was made.
In the mean time, the volunteers, most of them entirely
inexperienced in this species of service, had to swim their
horses over, or wait until a bridge could be built. The
day was cold, and it was found exceedingly difficult to
make the horses take to the water, and impossible for their
riders to swim them over without wetting their arms and
ammunition. Trees were being cut and floated to form a
foot bridge by which the men could take their arms over,
leading their horses; and the boat soon after the regulars
crossed was employed in towing the logs to their position.
In this state of things, after a few of the men had with
great difficulty and peril swam their horses over, but were
separated from their arms and clothes, while others were
engaged in constructing the bridge, and only the gallant
27," who had the good fortune to have the use of the boat
after the regulars, and before it was directed to the con-
struction of the bridge, were in condition to join'in the
fight, the attack was made.
And let it be borne in mind that the attack was simul-
taneously made, on the volunteers on this side, and on the
regulars on the opposite side of the river. The first, it is
true, was a feint, but it served the purpose of embarrassing
and delaying the passage of the river. The fight continued
just one hour, and in that time the main body of the vol-
unteers" repelled the attack on them, built the bridge, cross-
ed over at imminent peril, and joined the regulars at the
close of the fight. It is undeniable that the main body of
the volunteers were eager to cross, and did cross, as soon
as they possibly could, and would readily have advanced to
another fight, had the commanding General deemed it ad-
visable to order it.
This is believed to be a strictly true account of the first
affair of the Wythlacoochee, and it must serve to retrieve
the Florida volunteers, as a body, from any imputation of
misconduct or want of courage. It is not my purpose to
give any detail of this fight, when it is admitted that the

twenty-seven volunteers and the three officers fought brave-
ly. But it may be proper to remark that Colonel Warren,
and not Colonel Warner, is the officer meant by Aristi-
des," and that, besides the officers named, Colonel Park-
hill, M~ rr (now General) Read, and Majors Gamble and
Wellford, were also present; and that some of these last
attracted the special commendation of the regulars them-
selves on this occasion.
I shall now, Messrs. Editors, take leave of this subject,
to which I should have been invited by an abstract love of
truth, even if I had not felt impelled to do justice to a
much abused and suffering People.
DECEMBER 17, 1836.
The foregoing remarks were written at the time they
bear d ae, but,owing to engagements which called the wn-
ter suddenly from his home, they could not be transmitted
before this for publication. Permit him to indulge the
hope that you will not deem them yet out of season; that
at this time, most especially when the claims of his much
injured and suffering fellow-citizens to pecuniary redress
from their Government for their unmerited losses have been
so forcibly urged upon Congress by the Chief Magistrate
of the nation, an attempt to disabuse the Public,in relation
to the moral wrongs they have endured, may meet with
countenance and support. And, as illustrating and con-
firming the views he has advanced, he is now enabled to
refer to the events of the last campaign, to place the char-
acter of the Florida militia upon the same elevated ground
with those of their brave auxiliaries. He can appeal with con-
fidence to every officer and man of every corps engaged in
the late affairs of Florida, to bear witness that where all
behaved well, no troops in the Army exhibited more cour-
age, or endured with more patience the sufferings of the
service, than did the volunteers and militia of this Territo-
ry. The same recent events afford' a striking practical
commentary on the disputed question of a summer cam-
paign.
A force of about 1,200 volunteers march through the
country about the middle of September, the most sickly
and oppressive season of the year, and, except from the
measles, which accompanied them from their homes, they
suffer but little from disease. In fact, they enjoy a greater
degree of health than any similar army have ever experi-
enced in any country. Their advance at once relieves a
rich, extensive, and most exposed country from the pre-
sence and pressure of the savage foe, whose previous de-
vastations were spreading ruin and dismay throughout the
SJand. Thewhole armyengaged in active operations'suf-
ked less from disease than did one of the small detach-

THE PUBLIC LANDS.
The House resumed the consideration of the following
resolution, offered on yesterday by Mr. CHILTON ALLAN:
Beit resolved, That a select committee of one member from
each State be appointed, whose duty it shall be to inquire into the
justice and expediency of making to each of the thirteen origi-
nal American States, together with each of the States of Ver-
mont, Maine, Kentucky, and Tennessee, such grants of the pub-
lic lands, for the purposes of education, as will correspond in a
just proportion with those heretofore made in favor of the first-
named' States and Territories, and that said committee have leave
to report by bill or otherwise. But, to avoid the objrction of
one State holding land in another, the committee is directed to
insert a clause in the bill which they may report, providing
that the grants to be made thereby shall be subject to sale un-
der the laws of the General Government now in force, and that

By Mr. CLAIBORNE, of Mississippi, to amend. the
amendment by adding thereto the following:.
And provided that no such grant shall interfere with or be
located on the claim or improvement of any actual settler on' the
public lands.
Mr. HARRISON, of Mo., addressed' the House at
length in opposition to the resolution, and with a view to
show that the preamble was entirely erroneous in the as-
sumption which it contained, that the grants to the new
States were gratuities for which no consideration had been
received. He denied the position; and maintained that
the'States accepted the land, not as a gratuity, but under
a compact entered into under the ordinance of 1787, by
which compact the new States, in consideration of the
grants, had surrendered one of the greatest attributes of
sovereignty-the right to tax the public domain within
their limits.
Mr. HANNEGAN was of opinion no practical good
was to be obtained by the continuance of the discussion,
and moved to lay the whole subject on the table.
Mr. C. ALLAN called for the yeas and nays on that
motion, which were ordered; and, being taken, were-
Yeas 95, nays 99. So the motion to lay the subject on the
table was rejected.
On motion of Mr. GARLAND, of Virginia, the House
proceeded to the Orders of the Day.
EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION.
The House resumed the consideration of the resolution
heretofore offered by Mr. WISE, together with the pending
amendment of Mr. D. J. PEARCE, providing for the appoint-
ment of a select committee to inquire into the administra-
tion of the Executive Departments.
Mr. ROBERTSON concluded his remarks, and the
House was addressed by Messrs. HANNEGAN and HA-
MER.
Mr. H. had not concluded, when he gave way to a mo-
tion for adjournment; and, on motion of Mr. ANTHO-
NY, the House adjourned.

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1837.

PROPOSED HOSPITAL AT WASHINGTON.

The measure proposed in the subjoined bill is
one which must commend itself as well to the
judgment as to the feelings of the gentlemen who
compose the two Houses of Congress. Sole Le-
gislator for this District, Congress is the only
authority competent to accomplish a purpose,
.the necessity of which must be admitted by all
who have examined, even ever so little, into the
subject. But the claim of Humanity is still
stronger upon Congress, in its federative cha-
racter as Governor of the whole country, than in
its local capacity. From every quarter of the
country; from the remotest bounds of civiliza-
tion, and from all the intermediate circles of so-
ciety of which Washington is the centre, indi.
viduals are drawn to this city, in pursuit of rights,
real or supposed, whose worldly means are too
often exhausted before they arrive here or before
they get away, and who become objects of cha-
rity, or victims to' want and suffering, which,
through ignorance of it, and the want of ~uch an
Institution as a public Hospital, charity itself is
not able to relieve. The relief of such objects,
besides, it needs no argument to show, ought
not to continue tq depend on individual benevo-
lence. The Government, which attracts such a
population to this city, ought to protect the
poor, the needy, and the unfortunate, as well
as reward the bold, the ingenious, the perse-
vering-ay, and the obtrusive applicants for
its favor. The worn-down projector, who finds,
after a travel of a thousand miles, that his che-
risbecd '&diSCO^b -h ae bon p* th -ar vu
ago as before he was born; the hapless mo-
ther or widow who seeks in, vain from Gov-
ernment a support which her son or husband, in
the public service, once afforded her; the revo-

lutionary veteran, whose

living evidences of

youthful service have descended to the grave be-
fore him; the less unhappy subject of some
mental delusion which impels him to seek fame
or fortune through strange eccentric paths-
these, and all the varieties of distress with which
a resident of the metropolis, in course of time,
becomes acquainted, are entitled to the regards
of Congress, and not the less so because it is
impossible that, either as a class or as individuals,
they can ever plead their own cause before that
tribunal. We rejoice that there have been found
those who are willing and able to do it for them.
We rejoice that there has been found a commit-
tee cf Congress, with one of the most experienc-
ed and faithful members at its head, that has
listened to the plea in behalf of the unfortunate,
and has sustained it, as far as it can, by report-
ing the bill to which we have now the pleasure
of directing the attention of our readers.

IN SENATE, JANUARY 4, 1837.
MR. KENT, from the Committee for the District
of Columbia, reported the following bill;
which was read, and passed to a second read-
ing:
A BILL to authorize the erection of an hospital in the
city of Washington, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted, Buildings be, and he is hereby, authorized and required,
under the direction of the Proeident of th.-Tnitod-States,
and upon a plan and site to be by him approved, to erect a
building in the city of Washington, suitable for an hospi-
tal, for the reception and accommodation of the insane of
the District of Columbia, and of such sick, disabled, and
infirm seamen, soldiers, and others, as may, by competent
authority, to be hereafter prescribed, be deemed proper to
be received therein.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That, on the comple-
tion of the said building, the President be authorized to
appoint three respectable persons, residents of the city of
Washington, to be a board of inspectors of the said insti-
tution, who shall hold their offices two years from the date
of their appointment; and whose duty it shall be to have
a general supervision of the concerns of the said hospital;
to appoint the necessary subordinate officers thereof; to
prescribe rules for the admission and due regulation of pa-
tients therein, and to make an annual report to Congress of
their proceedings, and of the condition of the said institu-
tion.

At this moment, when a surplus of money has
been declared to be in the Treasury, to an amount,
-singularly contrasting with the predictions of
the opponents of the Distribution Bill, and far
exceeding the most sanguine anticipations of its
friends, the Letter of Judge CLAYTON, of Geor-
gia, which we have copied into the preceding
page, will be found to be of considerable inter-
est. He is not only not opposed to further dis-
tribution, if there be further accumulation of
revenue beyond the amount required for the
necessary purposes of Goveinment, but he is of
opinion that the States have a legal title to all
the proceeds of the sales of public lands in the
territory Northwest of the Ohio, and could re-
cover them from the United States if there were
any Court in which such a case could be impar-
tially tried.

It is a subject of regret that, at this interest-
ing period of the session, Mr. Senator EWING,
of Ohio, should be obliged to absent himself (for
a week or two, at least,) from his seat in the
Senate. Afflictive intelligence from home hav-
ing reached him, he immediately left this city,
for his residence i.a Ohio, on Wednesday
evening.

THE MAILS.-No newspaper has been received in
this city from the city of New York of a later date than
Sunday last, except only the New York Courier and En-
quirer of Monday'morning. Where all the rest of the
papers of Monday, and where all the papers of Tues.
day, due at this office yesterday morning, are, we cannot
pretend to say. The Philadelphia papers are all up to time.

The Little Rock (Ark.)-Advocate of the 16th
ult. states that Col. Wi:. WHITsoN was killed on
the 5th in an affray, which took place in Craw-
ford county.
The same paper states that the U. S. troops
at Camp Sabine have been ordered by-Gen. AR-
BUCKLE to abandon that station and return to
our Western frontier.

0~(i We copy the following from the Balti-
more papers, as well in justice to Captain SUT-
TON, who has earned such testimony to his good
conduct, as because it establishes the where-
abouts of a number of distinguished and respect-
ed citizens of different parts of our common
country :
Meeting of the passengers on board of the steam-
boat Pocahontas, Jan. 3, 1837.
On motion, General EDMUND P. GAINES, of the United
States Army, was called to the chair, and, at the sugges-
tion of Captain ALDEN PARTRIDGE, of Vermont, General
GEORGE C. DROMOOOLE, of the House of Representatives,
and Mr. JOH-N H. WHEELER, of North Carolina, were ap-
pointed a committee to express the grateful acknowledg-
ments of the passengers to-Captain SUTTON, of the steam-
boat Pocahontas, for his gentlemanly and accommodating
conduct in her late perilous trig from Norfolk to Baltimore;
and although impeded by the ice from reaching Baltimore,
yet he left no effort untried to effect this object, and did
every thing that laid in his power to make us comfortable
at this inclement season.

The Maysville (Kentucky) Monitor of the 29th
December has the following paragraph :
REPORTED STEAMBOAT DISASTER.-It was reported here
last week by boats from above, that the entire cabin of the
steamboat Mariner, on her way up, was blown off during a
gale that prevailed on Monday or Tuesday night, and that
twenty or thirty passengers had been aroused from. their
quiel slumbers tofind their death-pillows beneath the ruthless
wave! The appearance, a few days after this report, of
large pieces of wreck floating down with the ice, was cal-
culated to confirm the most melancholy intelligence.
NEW ORLEANS, DEC. 29, 1836.
We have noticed with great pleasure the acts of courte-
sy and hospitality extended by our citizens to the officers
of the FRENCH brig GAZELLE, now lying in our port.
Her arrival among'us was received with marked demon-
strations of pleasure, and the interchange of civilities which
from time to time has taken place among her office's and
the citizens cannot fail of producing the most happy re-
sults.
A sumptuous dinner was given them on Tuesday last,
at Davis's Rooms, on Orleans street, attended by a large
and respectable portion of citizens, who, mingling in the
full flow of generous feeling excited by the occasion, gave
a most cordial greeting to their respected guests. Among
the number of invited guests we recognized the French
Consul, Commandant ROUSSEAU, Gen. PLAUCHE, the Sec-
retary of State, and others. The company retired from the
table at an early hour, after drinking many patriotic toasts,
and in the course of the evening visited the different thea-
tres, French and American, which were thrown open by
their courteous and liberal proprietors.-Bulletin.

A STRONG CLAIM.-At the last quarterly meeting of the
Exeter (Eng.) Humane Society a man claimed a reward
for saving the life of his wife from drowning!'
DICKINSON COLLEGE.-A paragraph is going the rounds
of the papers, stating that Dickinson College, at Carlisle,
Pa. has been reduced to ashes. This is altogether incor-
rect. The fire which occurred on the premises last week,
originated in, and was confined entirely to a detached build-
ing, occupied as a preparatory school No part of the Col-
lege proper was injured in the slightest degree, and no great
inconvenience will result from the conflagration, as immedi-
ate provision was made by the faculty for the accommoda-

VALUABLE POTOMAC LANDS & THREE
FISHER IES FOR SALE OR RENT.-With
a view to a further removal to Alabama, the subscribers will sell
their Deep Hole and Farm Plantations, adjacent, containing two
thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight acres, lying upon
Occoquan bay, from the junction of Occoquan river to Neabsco
creek with the Potomac, and bounded on the west by the old
mail stage road to Colchester, along which the contemplated
railroad from the South must be constructed. The farm and fishe-
ries are of easy access, by land and water, about 18 miles from
Alexandria, three from Occoquan, and one from Colchester.
These are unquestionably the most fertile lands in Prince
William county-adapted to the growth of wheat, corn, tobacco,
oats, timothy, &o. and highly susceptible of improvement by
clover and plaster. The Occoquan mills and factory are a conve-
nient market. The overseer's house, barns, quarters, wheat
machine, fencing, &c. are in corresponding condition.
The Deep Hole fishing shore is known to be among the best
upon the Potomac. The Farm Marsh (or Mud Haul) fishery has
been fished several years successfully; also the Plum Tree fish-
ery, betweenthe two. Houses are on each shore. There is
abundant sea-room for seines of the largest class.
Many hundred cords of wood might ,be cut and sold on the
land, immediately on Neabsco creek, for which there isa constant
demand; and there might still remain sufficient wood and timber
for the use of the estate.
The winter fisheries and ducking shores are also valuable.
Liberal terms are offered. The fisheries, well managed, will
more than pay the interest of cost. One-fourth cash; the bal-
ance in three equal annual instalments. Possession may be giv-
en at the ensuing Christmas.
Such an opportunity is rarely offered for judicious investment.

came very painful and alarming, m consequence of taking cold
repeatedly. A large gathering was formed in the cavity be-
tween the ears,discharging prodigiously; and from the renewed
accumulation at times, it seemed as if my head would burst,
when the running would increase at the ears, and would also
appear at the nose and eyes. I applied to the best physicians
but found no permanent relief; I also tried Swaim's Panacea,
but found it useless. By request of a friend I tried the Indian's
Panacea, which soon gave me relief; and after taking twelve
bottles, I was made as well as ever. The opinion of one so
much indebted to it may be of little weight; but the reputation
this Panacea has earned in this vicinity will give it the pre,
ferenc, over any other remedy for abscesses, sores, &c.
JOHN McMULLEN.
The proprietors of this article have received many proofs of
its'value on plantations. The negro who is subject to any dis-
eases peculiar to him, or peculiar to his exposing employment,
feels most readily its healing influence. Rheumatism, debi-
lity, swellings, loss of appetite, and the nameless evils he corn-
plains of, may all be removed by the use of a few bottles of the
Indian's Panacea. Many useful servant has been restored by
its effects; and it is confidently recommended tothe planter as
a safe and invaluable medicine.
Erysipelas is one of those severe cutaneous affections which
is removed by this Indian practicemiore effectually and speedily
than in, any other mode. There is strong evidence at hand to
show that no case can withstand its effect.
ST. AurseS'NE, (E P.) JULY, 1835.
D. G. HAVILAND & Co. Agents: am induced to write, to
inform you of the happy results I.have experienced from taking
the Indian's Panacea. For the last ten years I.have been severely
afflicted with the rheumatism in both legs, and sores covering
a large proportion of the body; and during this time I have tried
almost every thing that I heard recommended, but without re-
lief from any. In this state,, I had given up mnyselfas incurable
and made up my mind to drag out my life in excruciating pain
for .I can-safely say that I had not know a day, in that time,
during which I had been free from pain, and most of the time
I was in the greatest agorny.' I wasin this fix whenin your
city, at which time I bought a doven bottles of your Panacea.
which I took as directed in tbh, paper, and am now-happy to
state to you, and to the comiodnity, that I am a perfectly well
man. This' change I attribute to this invaluable Medicine tone,
Yoursi very respectfully,
T. H. POWERS.

CHABLESTON, JULY 12, 1881.
I was afflicted four years with an ulcer in the leg, occasion-
ally accompanied with erysipeletous inflammation and exces-
sive pai in the leg and ankle joint. Several eminent physi-
cianr exerted their skill upon it, but without permanent benefit
SIp this state, five bottles of the Indian's Panacea made perfect
cure. MARGARET A WEST

FITHE INDIAN'S PANACEA-For the cure ofRhuo-
Smatism, Scrofula, or King's Evil, Gout, Sciatica or Hip
Gout, Incipient Cancers, Salt Rheum, Syphilitic and Mercurial
diseases, particularly Ulcers and painful affection of the bones,
ulcerated throat and nostrils; Ulcers of very description,
Fever Sores, and Internal Abscesses; Fist'dlas, Scald Head,
Scurvy, Biles, Chronic Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Blotches, and
every variety of Cutaneous Affection; Chronic Catarrh, Head-
ache from particular causes ; pain in the Stomach and Dyspep-
sia, proceeding from vitiation; Affections of the Liver, Chronic
Inflammation of the Kidneys, and general debility, caused by a
torpid action of the vessels of the skin. It is singularly efficacious
in renovating those constitutions which have been broken down
by injudicious treatments:or juvenile irregularities. In general
terms, it is recommended in all those diseases which arise from
impurities in the blood, or vitiation of the humors, of whatever
name or kind.
Some of the above complaints may require some trifling assist-
ant applications, which the circumstances of the case will dic-
tate; but, for a general remedy or purificator, to remove tho
cause, the Indian's Panacea will generally be found sufficient.
TO THE PUBLIC.
How true it is that modern physicians, in their ambition to
excel in their profession, explore the vast fields of science by
the aid of Chemistry, and seek out new remedial agents to ar-
rive at perfection in their practice by means of art alone, and
entirely overlook and neglect, as beneath their notice, the rich
and bounteous stores of medicine which the Almighty has caused
to spring out of the earth in every clime. Andhow much more
true it is that whilst the American physician looks to foreign
countries for many of his most common and necessary articles,
perpetually changing, as they are, at the dictate of fashion and
folly, he is surrounded in his own country with an endless pro-
fusion of medical plants sufficient to answer any indication in
disease, and yet he is ignorant of their virtues, and they are suf-
fered to waste their healing on the desert air."
The effects of vegetable medicines upon the system are tem
porary-those of minerals lasting. The former exert their ef-
fects and pass off-the latter, mercury in particular, act chemi-
cally upon the solids, decomposing the bones, and undermining
the constitution by a slow and sure destruction.
The greater congeniality, efficiency, and safety of vegetable
tremedies, compared with mineral, may be estimated by con-
trasting the ancient practice with the modern; or, to bring it
more immediately under our own observation, the Indian prac-
tice with that of the white man. Who, in America, has not
known or heard of repeated instances wherein some decrepit,
unpretending female Indian, by means of her simple remedies
alone, has effected the most rapid and astonishing cures, after
the whole Materia Medica of the common practice, directed in
the most skilful manner, has failed ? And who has not been
surprised at beholding the comparative ease and facility with
which the Indian frees himself from any disease, and at the al-
/most total absence of chronic diseases among them'? Who has
ever heard of an Indian with a constitution broken and ruined
by ill treatment And can a doubt exist that this happy exemp-
tion of the savage from most of the ills which the flesh of civil-
ized man is heir to is chiefly owing to the more genial and safe
remedies which he employs? This astonishing difference in
success is a fair exemplification of the infinite superiority of the
simple and safe means of cure which God has created for the
benefit of his children over those which the pride and the art of
man have invented.
From a long residence among a portion of the aboriginal in-
habitants of his country, and intimate acquaintance with the me-
thods of cure of some of their most successful practitioners, the
proprietor of The Indian's Panacea" acquired a knowledge of
some of their most powerful and favorite remedies. From.these
he selected such as were most efficacious and appropriate, and,
after various experiments to test their principles and strength,
he has combined them in the form here presented, as the most
perfect and beneficial for the purpose for which it is recom-
mended.
The proprietor offers this preparation to the Public with the
consciousness that.he is placing within its reach a remedy capa-
ble of relieving many of his afflicted fellow-beings who are suf-
fering under the various chronic and obstinate complaints to
which it is applicable. To such it will prove of incalculable
value, as the means, and, in many cases, the only means of re-
lieving their sufferings, and restoring them once more to health
and-happiness. This is not offered as a common remedy that
may, perchance, be equally good with many others now in use,
but as one which is capable of saving life in many extreme cases
when all the usual remedies fail. This it has done repeatedly
and this is the reputation it has obtained wherever it has been
introduced.
It is only a few years since this preparation wasofrstpresent-
ed to the Public, but in that time soq- thousands of persons
might be found.who would solemnily declare that they believed
their lives were saved- byt, and in many cases after they had
tried most d perhaps all the common remedies in vain.
Whlicvper it is known, it is rapidly coming into use, and this af-
fords the most substantial and convincing proof of its merits.
The value of this Panacea is most conspicuous in those long
standing and obstinate syphilitic and scrofulous affections which
have defied all other remedies, and particularly in those cases
-where mercury has been so lavishly used as to cause distressing
pains in the bones, nodes, mercurial ulcers, derangement of the
digestive organs, &c. These it completely removes, and in all
cases it entirely eradicates the disease and the effects of mer-
cury, renovates the constitution, and leaves the patient sound
and well. In rheumatisms and ulcerated sore throat, its happy
effects are not less apparent, giving almost immediate relief.
This medicine has been found highly useful in many ambigu-
ous diseases not here specified, and it has been used with wo
derful success as a spring and fall purifier, by those who are
subject to various complaints, and whose constitutions require in-
vigorating. Such persons will do well to use two or three bot-
tles in small doses. Whenever a diet drink is considered nes
cessary, this Panacea, taken in small doses, will answer all its
purposes, in much less time, at less expense, and in a far more
agreeable manner, than the common diet drink.
The following certificates, out of hundreds similar which
might be procured, are given to show the effects of the Indian's
Panacea, in the various complaints therein mentioned; and also
to exhibit, in the most satisfactory manner, its superiority over
the. syrups in common use :
BOSTON, APRIL, 1834.
SIa: When I was a young man, I followed the fishing trade,
and, from the peculiar exposure at that time, I have had pains
about me at intervals, which have since increased to a regular
and severe rheumatism. You know, I saw you in Charleston
very bad off, and told you I had heard of the 'surprising quali-
lies of the Indian's Panacea, when you told me where to get
it. Well, I got six bottles, which have oured me for seven or
eight months, and from being free from pain so long, although
exposed, I believe my case a cured one, and write this to say
so. AARON GILBERT.

in as practicable, after the arrival of the mail and passengers

Iroad, and arrive in.Richmond the same evening. This be-
r the main Southern mail line, is regularly connected by stages
Petersburg, where passengers can proceed on the railway to
akely, and thence continue in stages to the South, by way of

B EAFNESS.-A York paper sayeth, that a remedy for
the restoration of hearing is to be had of Doctor Green,
Reading and Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.
Enquiry has frequently been made as to the principles of
'cure, and the nature of the cases in which hearing has been re-
stored.
It proves effectual when the affliction is caused by nervous
weakness, as the remedy gives health and strength to the whole
nervous system.
Ont the other hand, when the affliction is owing to other causes
-other means of help must be sought for-but-and it may be
repetated-that, in cases where deafness is caused by nervous
weakness, the remedy will restore hearing, as hath been expe-'
rienced in the editor's own family-as well as in the families of
many of his neighbors also.

Now-according to the Doctor's practice and principles, that
MUCH OF THE ART
SOF PHYSic
S CONsIsTs
SIN TKNOWING,WHEN
L NOT TO GVE IT. J
The restoration of hearing is brought about without giving any
physic I-without giving any medicine-as hath been ascertain-
ed in numbers and numbers of instances. Therefore, and in
part return for such great benefits received, we make the above
known for the good of our fellow-citizens in similar distress.
Assistance is sent-free of postage, fior as many as are ahlict--
ed in ;t family, including the relatives of such family also, for a
fee of five dollars.
For a fee of ten dollars assistance is sent-free of postage al-
so-for 3 or 4 persons more-in addition-as at times neighbors
may be in want of some.
And in case other sickness besides deafness and loss of eye-
sight happening, help is sent for such sickness without any
charge.
The fee pays for all and every help sent to families from time
to time. ,
This is considered a praiseworthy plan. And in conclusion,
it will, no doubt, be very satisfactory for people to know that the
assistance is not to be applied to the ears-nor the eyes.
NOT AT ALL.
Consequently no danger whatever can happen to them-no-
none whatever.
And during the time that people are using his assistance at
home, and learning how to help themselves to restore and re-
cover their hearing, their eye-sight and their health again
They can follow their customary business ;
Thev can live as usual ;
And'they can also eat and drink what tastes best.

The following is an extract of a letter from Mr. Baker, to the
printer:
My friend-The method of using Dr. Green's remedy is in-
nocent, is easy, and performs the cure by strengthening the
nerves. My neighbor Jones's wife thought she would try it
too, being a long time troubled with weak and sore eyes, a long
lime troubled with dimness and failing of sight, and over one
eye a film (a skin) was beginning to grow and spread itself.
This affllliction, together with her deafness, caused by nervous
weakness, very much alarmed the family, insomuch that help
was sent for, and which arrived per mail free of postage ; and
which help in little more than a week made them as good and
as strong as ever, doing needlework now without spectacles,
and now is restored to her eyesight as well as to her hearing.
C.. BAKER.

N. B.-With the remedy the patient receives an instructive
and easy way how to preserve health in general, throughout
the whole year. This is of great value to families, (botl to pa-
rents and children,) and 'tis sent without any charge whatever.
It always accompanies .the remedy for deafitess and eyesight.
Until quite lately people had to go to the doctor to get help.
This was to them great trouble.
Absence from home, and business neglected.
Danger of travelling.
Running the risk of getting sick from home, which often hap-
peted.
Being obliged to stay with the doctor at times, from one to
three weeks, and sometimes longer.
Generally cost from 20 up to 30, 40, 50 dollars, sometimes
Now, by this tilW plan of sending help to people, at their
homes, all this is saved, and costs so little that 'tis not worth
mentioning. C. F. BAKER.
State of Pennsylvania, Sept. 10, 1835.

All printers who publish the above will receive the remedy
gratuitously, and free of postage also. It will be placed at their

T~O PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.-The sub-
. scriber respectfully informs the Public that he will open,
on the Ist day of October next, a French and English Board-
ing School for Young Ladies, at Bordentown, N. J.
The advantages of Bordentown as a place fitted for the esta-
blishment of schools, if equalled, are certainly not surpassed by
any in the whole country. Situated on the Delaware, and eigh-
ty feet above its level, proverbial for health, at the head of
steamboat navigation, accessible from Philadelphia and from
New York twice in every day, and at all seasons of the year,
furnished with excellent boarding-houses forthe accommodation
of parents and visitors, this beautiful village offers, indeed, all
that can be desired for the purpose.
The buildings occupied by this institution were recently
erected by the Count de Survilliers; they stand on a hill,
immediately opposite his mansion, and are, in fact, a portion ot
his splendid estate. In preparing them for the reception of
young ladies, nothing was omitted that could contribute to their
health and comfort. There is on this property a chalybeate
spring, whose water was analyzed, and found to be equal, in
every respect, to that ofSchoolcy's Mountain.
The distinctive features of this institution will consist in its
being essentially a French School. It is generally admitted
that the- French language has now become-an important, not to
say indispensable, branch of a polite education. Yet it is a truth
no less indisputable, that the attention it usually receives in
schools is comparatively small, and attended with little or no
success. Ten years' experience, and much reflection upon
the subject, have led us to act according to the following propo-
sitions :
1st. The knowledge of a language is two-fold: it embraces
theory and practice.
2d. Theory may be learnt in less than orte-fourth of the time
needed to acquire practice.
If this be true, we may draw from them the following con-
clusions : .
In studying the English, thle American youth have only theo-
ry to learn. In studying the French, both theory and practice

are to be acquired: from which it necessarily follows that the
attention given to the foreign idiom should be at least four times
as great as that given to the vernacular. We therefore use the
French language in our intercourse with our pupils, and, as far
as is practicable, French text books of Hti'...-, geography ,
Mathematics, &c. are made'"use of in t.-- s',--.o of these
branches.

SCHOOL FOR CIVIL ENGINEERS, George-
town, Kentucky.-This school was opened in May,
1835i in connexion with the Georgetown College, Kentucky.
It will hereafter be connected with the Bacon College, lately es-
tablished at the same place.
The great and increasing demand for Civil Engineers through-
out the United States affords to young gentlemen who embark
in this business a more lucrative salary than any other profes-
sion in our country.
Well-instructed assistant Engineers now receive from $1,000
to $3,000 per annum, while Principal Engineers readily obtain
from $4,000 to $10,000 a ydar.
Several young gentlemdri have finished their course at this
School and immediately obtained employment at.81,000 to
$2,000 per annum.
The favorable manner in which they have been received by
the most scientific Engineers in the Union, has induced the.sub-
scriber to extend the course of studies-to increase the facilities
for acquiring a thorough and correct practical and theoretical
knowledge of the science, and to adopt many valuable and im-
portant improvements, suggested by the most. eminent Engi-
neers in the United States. '
A Student who has completed a regular course of Mathema-
tics may graduate in this school in six months at an expense of
$120 or $150. Ottfers will require at least twelve months:-all
things being favorable.
COURSE OF STUDIES AND INSTRUCtIOe.
1st. The full course of Matliematics'studied at West Point
(Davies' Mathematics,) from Arithmetic to Fluxions inclusive. ,
2d. Chemistry, Natural Philosophy, Geology, and Mine-
ralogy.
3d. Drawing and the5principles of Construction.
4th. Civil Engineering, theoretical and practical.
The Text Books in Engineering are Sganzin, Long, and Ma-
han, (Professor of Engineering at West Point,) Wood on Rail-
roads, (American Edition) Inland Navigation," from. Brew-
ster's Encyclopedia, and various other standard works in the
different departments of Civ:l'Engincering, which will be used
for works of reference.
The -practical course will be attended to in the vacations,
(April and October.) During these months the subscriber will
be engaged with the class in a regular tour,-with the Theodolite,
Compass, and Level, making preliminary, definitive, and final
surveys for railroads, canals, and turnpikes-inspecting the pub-
lic works of the State, the railroads and canals, the curves, cul-
verts, bridges, embankments, excavations, inclined planes,
locis, dams, &c. to conclude with a report of the survey.
The students of this school have the privilege of attending
gratis, any other department ofthe Bacon College, which is .per-
haps the most fully organized institution in .te West. The Fa-
.r.ulty consists of a President and Professo: .:.f rHL.re.' L;ie r-
ture ; a Professor of Ancient Languages; a P,.:. .:,cr ..: 'M.:I.ltrn

Very respectfully, your ob'tserv't,
SYLVESTER WELCH,
Engineer in Chief for the State of Kentucky.
To T. F. JOHNSON, Esq.
Professor of Civil Engineering, Georgetown, Ky.
LOUISVILLE, JULY 29, 1836.
Sm : It affords me pleasure to testify to the very correct and
satisfactory manner in which the two young gentlemen from
your school have conducted themselves during the time they
have been in the service ; and the ability manifested by the
prompt and skilful discharge oftheir several duties is alike cre-
ditable to them and the character of the institution in which they
were instructed.
The books comprised in your course of studies are appropri-
ate and well selected. I am pleased to hear topographical and
architectural drawing is to form a part of your future course.
This is an elegant accomplishment to an engineer, and in the
early part ofhis career will frequently bring him into notice,
and hasten his promotion to more responsible stations, where
his talents may be fully developed.
Appreciating as I do your efforts to elevate the profession, I
trust they will be crowned with success, and I assure you it will
afford me very great please e to render any aid in my power to
second your views.
Your most obedient, THOS. P. PURCELL,
Engineer in Chief Lexington and Ohio Railroad.
To T. F. JoHNsoN, Esq.
Professor of Civil Engineering, Georgetown, Ky.
From a Graduate of the last session.
INDIANAPOLIS, OCT. 1836.
DEAR SIR : We are about to commence tle loca-
tion of a canal 34 miles in length, to meet the Central canal,
which will take us till late in the fall. I am perfectly satisfied
with my situation, and shall never regret the money spent in
ottainingit. I consider the factof my having attended your school
one session to have saved me at least three years' hard labor,
for it would have required that time (had I not joined your class)
to qualify me for the discharge of the duties I now have on hand.
I believe this is the opinion of each member of the class which
graduated last session.
Respectfully, yours, &c.

From a correspondent qf one of the students.
GENEVA, N. Y. OCT. 29, 1836.
Your intention of going to Georgetown, Kentucky, is, I think,
an admirable one, and you would be very much to blame not to
go through with it; for, from all accounts, the school in George-
town is better adapted for preparing engineers than any other in
the United States. I have spoken to several engineers on the
subject.anduthey allt.g-oo in .rmnmending it very strongly.

FOUR HUNDRED DOLLARS A~EW4RD.-
Ran away from the subscriber, living near Baruesvtille,
Montgomery county, Maryland, on the 17th instant, two bright
mulatto servants, RYNALDO and LORENZO. Rynaldo is
about 5 feet 10 inches high, a well-made fellow, about 22 years
ofage, has a number of freckles on his cheeks near his nose,
and rather a down look when spoken to. Lorenzo is about 5 feet
6 inches high, an active lad of about 18 years old, pleasant coun-
tenance, and a very bright mulatto. They are. brothers, and
will no doubt keep together. Their working clothes are home-
made diab cloth pantaloons, new, their coats made last fall.
Rynaldo has a green close coat and fur itat. Lorenzo has a
brown frock coat and an old fur cap. The other clothing not
recollected. The above reward will be given, and all reason-
able charges paid if taken out of the State, and one hundred
dollars each if taken in the State, or lodged in any jail, so that I
get them again. NATHAN S. WHITE,

COMMUNICATIONS.

TO THE EDITORS.

Messrs. GALES & SEATON: In your paper of
is morning you express a wish that the truth
ay be ascertained, of an intimation; to which
seems a Boston paper has-given countenance,
,at the Hon. CHARLES J. HOLMES, one of the
fassachusetts Electors, held an office under
ie United States, at the time of giving l.is
>te, as Elector, for President and Vice Presi-
mnt of the United States. Mr. HOLMES is a
sntleman of great intelligence and respectabi-
'y, and nobody who knows him would sup-
ase for a moment that he could be guilty of so
-oss an incorrectness. Will you now please
state that; in point of fact, Mr. HOLMES, who
id held the office of postmaster for' the town
7 Rochester, in the county of Plymouth, on
ming nominated as an Elector, immediately re-
gned his office of postmaster; that another
-rson was appointed postmaster in his place
a the l1th day of October; that Mr. HOLMES
as chosen an Elector on the 13th day of No-
tmber, and gave his vote for President and
ice President on the first Monday in Decem-
tr, according to the provision of the Consfi-
ition.

ON AFFAIRS IN FLORIDA.
TALLAHASSEE, SEPT. 18, 1836.
Messrs. GALES & SEATON: Gentlemen: In your paper.
"the 27th of August you did' me the favor to publish a
>mmunication in relation to the state of the war in Flo--
da. The reason which formed one of the considerations"
ith you for the admission of that article, viz. the na-
iral sensibility felt by the writer for the honor of his
Ilow-citizens of Florida, which he deems to have been
,sailed," operates more cogently now with him to offer one
lore piece for publication in your paper.
In the Intelligencer of the 31st of August there appeared
well-written piece by a writer signing himself "Aris-
des," which, besides reiterating the old charge against the
'lorida volunteers for misconduct at the battle of the
Vythlacoochee, introduces a new matter- of accusation
against the Territory, because of the failure of the contem-
lated summer campaign. The sole design of this writer
,ems to be to thror discredit and disgrace upon the popu-.
>tion of Florida. No other motive is discernible. It ap-
ears not to be designed to justify or vindicate any man or
arty of men, except very remotely and by reaction, and so
Lr as the failure of a mere contemplated campaign can
irnish ex post facto" justification for the failure of a
)rmer one actually undertaken.
But, let me ask, in the first place, who are the citizens of
'lorida thus denouncedwas recreant and degenerate from the
characteristic valor of their countrymen.1 Very few of
iem are native to the soil of Florida. In Middle Florida,
rhich contains more than half the population of the whole
territory there exists not on venative citizen old enough to
ear arms.- Whence are they derived! From the States
f Virginia, Georgia, Tennessee, and the Carolinas, prin-
ipally. Tsh., ,.' emigrants from these and other States,
ho, frm a spirit of adventure, have encountered the hard-
hips and-perils of a new country; and strange, indeed,
vould it be, and-against all experience, if such men -pos-
ssed less enterprise anri courage than the other citizens of
ieir native States. In point ofifa tt.the citizens of Flo-
'da are men of the-same physical, intelltct-,st.and moral
qualities with those of the States whose soil nurtufrea-their
odies, and gave them their temperaments, -and whose in-
titutions fashioned and formed their minds. They claim
o greater share of patriotism or valor than belongs to their
llow-citizens of the other States, and they will not tamely
ubmit to the imputation of possessing less. This general
consideration alone should, with reflecting men, vindicate
em from the imputations which have been so unjustly
ast upon them; but I will proceed to give a more specific
answer to the charges of this writer.
It is not my purpose to di,-usii the axprdieri ev ot'a Eum-
aer campaign now that the summer 'e:ioni s h asi..l ay,
,nd as' I have in my former piece stated some reasons in its
-vor. But is it a fair subject of censure and ridicule, that the
governor of Florida, when the lives of his fellow-citizens
ere daily exposed by the cruel inroads of the savages,
should have sought, at the earliest possible period, to rally
force for their defence ? But, whatever may have been
e merits or demerits of the scheme, its failure is not to be.
scribed to the citizens of Florida, nor to their Executive.
he extract from the proclamation of the Governor of
lorida, furnished by "Aristides," shows that its citizens
.ere merely invited to act as auxiliary to a large volunteer
rce expected from Tennessee. The summer passed with-
ut the appearance of any such force. The Tennessee
volunteers, for reasons which reflect no discredit upon them,
re only now (20th September) near Tallahassee.
But this writer charges that, in answer to the proclama-
on of their Governor, but one single man in Middle Florida
volunteered for the summer campaign" Now, the point
f this charge turns upon the artifice or error, of this writer,
I confounding the term for which the citizens of Florida
ere, in the proclamation of the 18th June, called on to
volunteer, with that of the summer campaign." And yet
ie services were very different. By the proclamation, the
tizens of Florida were invited to volunteer, not for a
mmer campaign," but for the term of twelve months, un-
er a law of Congress authorizing the levying of 10,000
en for the defence of the Western frontier. This was a
ery different engagement from that of a summer cam-
aign." But why is it a charge against the citizens of
lorida that they have not enrolled themselves under this
w 1 Have the citizens of other States, who have been
Iso appealed to, been more eager for this service So far
s we are yet informed, there is not one corps, one compa-
y, one man, that has volunteered for twelve months; and
'there was "one single man in Middle Florida" who did
volunteer for that term, he stood alone in the United States,
nd Florida may claim the honor of the exception. The
nearing quotations, then, of this writer, and of his corres-
ondent, from Governor Gall's proclamation, and the
changes rung, or the ordinary terms of incitement used in
uch a paper, and on their failure to produce the desired ef-
ct, become mere verbiage and declamation, without mean-
g, but for the malice or levity they indicate in their au-
It is not true, however, that but a single man in all
middle Florida volunteered for the summer campaign."
since May, when the danger of the country became appa-
ent, there have been constantly in the field hundreds
f volunteers from Middle, as well as from East and West
. lorida, ready for any service. They have "sallied forth
rom their comfortable domicils," (to use the sportive term
f this very jocose writer,) with the fixed purpose "of
seekingg their enemy," though.the delay of assistance from
other quarters did prevent them from seeking him "in his
'tronghold." And there is not the least doubt that, if the
expectedd auxiliary force had arrived "in the dog days," even
under their malign influence, there would have been other
volunteers to the full extent of the ability of the country to
urnish them.
Can it be known to the writers who so cruelly and un-
ustly abuse this people that more than one-third of all the
people capable of bearing arms in Middle Florida have
aeen constantly carrying on a summer campaign, traver-
in hammocks, swamps, and labyrinths," more intricate
n impenetrable in themselves than those of the dreaded
Vythlaeoochee. That, besides the services of these men
engaged for a term of from four to six months, other por-
ions have been, during the whole period, called out on emer-
vencies, from 10, 15 or 20 days, to defend "their comfort-
. ble domicils" against the Creeks, as well as against the
'emninoles Comfortable domicile," indeed Vhen not
a man, from Tallahassee to the furthest East, could lay his

ead on his pillow, without the fear of being roused by the
ellss of the savage, of the Seminoles from the South and'
Sast, or of the equally savage Creeks from the North and
West! When men were shot down in their fields, and
he planters had to hire men to guard their people at their
vork! When every man's rifle was wedded to his side,
nd he dare not visit his nearest neighbor without watch-

ng for a lurking savage in every bush! Such, to this day,
*las been the condition of Middle Florida, while in East
SIlorida scarcely a man can claim a domicil" of any sort
I)eyond the lines of St. Augustine and Jacksonville. In
hat district, throughout this whole summer, there has been
virtually, and of necessity, a levy en masse ;" for the in-
habitants, being driven by the foe from their homes, have
been obliged to collect together, with arms in their hands,
for self-preservation.

In what miserable taste, then, are all these sneering,
ironical epithets of" brave Floridians," &c. &c., as applied
to these men! and how unbecoming the tone of levity which
pervades this piece,-and "id genus omnne "
And what is the provocation we have given to this wri-
ter, and to the army to which he manifestly belongs? None
whatever. The service of the Army in Florida has not
been a "thankless service," as this writer states" for here
they are respected and admired, and their valuable service's
are acknowledged with gratitude by all. As to the epithet
of rascally regulars," which Aristides uses as a quotation.
no man with whom I have conversed ever before heard of-
it. If ever used in Florida, it was the inconsiderate re-
mark of some light-minded vulgar man. Aristides himself
disparages the Army by supposing it obnoxious to such
low abuse, and in deeming them worthy of notice. I aver
that, since the first battle of the Wythlacoochee, I have
not conversed with a single individual who has not spoken
in tie highest terms of praise of the Army generally, ex-
cepting only a few of its highest officers, against whom
they do urge well-grounded cause of complaint. And every
"affair" in which detachments of the regular Army have
since been engaged, (afid in each of which they have been
successful,) they have exhibited even more than their cha-
racteristic valor, and have increased those favorable senti-
ments.
It only remains that I attempt to answer the charge last
in order, but the primal eldest" one in date, made by
Aristides" against the citizens of Florida-their conduct
at the battle of the Wythlacoochee, in December, 1835.
After referring to the statement in General Clinch's offi-
cial report, that only three officers and twenty-seven men
of the volunteers joined the "regulars" in combat with the
Indians, this writer adds, "but he (Gen. Clinch) does not
'explain why the residueof the Florida volunteers remained,
as it would seem, mere spectators of the fight." Not ha'
ving the means of referring to Gen. Clinch's report, I do
not undertake, from recollection, to say how he explains a
matter so simple and susceptible of explanation, or whe-'
ther he attempts to explain it at all. But I do undertake
to say, thatno part of that report gives the least color to
the imputation'conveyed in the last clause of the above ci-
tation from "Aristides," that "the volunteers were mere
spectators of the fight." This is the language of "Aris-
tides," and not of Gen. Clinch.
Not having been with that expedition to the 'Wythlacoo-
chee, it maybe rash in the writer of this piece to attempt
to answer the questions which Aristides" propounds, but
he has heard the affair so often described by unexception-
able eye-witnesses,(thathe deems a satisfactory answer most
easy. .
The questions put by thm;. n writer are : "Why did any of
the volunteers ,ri.sr 1r, .r i' opposite bank of the river
out of the action ." and r, hy did the main body, which
is said to have crossed over, not advance to engage the ene-
my 1" A simple and summary answer to these questions
would be in the following terms, and would be justified by
the facts of the case:
The volunteers were on the opposite side of the river
when the action began, and they did not there remain one
moment after it was possible to cross, and after they re-
ceived orders or permission to cross; and
The main body which is said to have'crossed," (and
which did cross over,) did advance to engage the enemy so
soon as they had crossed.
These assertions can be proved beyond doubt, and I
venture to assert, that no one who witnessed the affair will
gainsay them, and they contain a full vindication of the
Florida volunteers. But a more detailed explanation of
this affair is proper, as much for the justification of the of-
ficers in command, as of the men.
When this army marched to the Wythlacoochee, the In-
dians had afforded to their troops no demonstration of a de-
termination to fight a battle. At that time, the fatal affair
of the lamented Dade was unknown, and the universal im-
pression was, that the- resistance of the Indians would be
merely passive. No'man expected an attack,from them;
or even a pitched battle. This explanation is wanted to
account for the want of caution in the subsequent advahce..
On-arriving at the river, a deep and rapid stream, the onlyh
means of transportation was a canoe, capable of conveying
eight men at a freight. The regulars (infantry) were'pass-
ed over, and they, without waiting for the mounted volun-
teers to make g g.x,3 h. ir passage, marched in advance from
300 to 400 yard:, pil.:. their arms, and reposed themselves
on the ground. In this state of fancied security they re-
mained until the attack- was made.
In the mean time, the volunteers, most of them entirely
inexperienced in this species of service, had to swim' their
horses over, or wait until a bridge could be built. The
day was cold, and it was found exceedingly difficult to
make the horses take to the water, and impossible for their
riders to swim them over without wetting their arms and
ammunition. Trees were being cut and floated to form a
foot bridge by which the men could take their arms over,
leading their horses ; and the boat soon after the regulars
crossed was employed in towing the logs to their position.
In this state of things, after a few of the men had with
great difficulty and peril swam their horses over, but were
separated from their arms and clothes, while others were
engaged in constructing the bridge, and only the gallant
27," who had the good fortune to have the use of the boat
after the regulars, and before it was directed to the con-
struction of the bridge, were in condition to join in the
fight, the attack was made.
And let it be borne in mind that the attack was simul-
taneously made, on the volunteers on this side, and on the
regulars on the opposite side of the river. The first, it is
true, was a feint, but it served the purpose of embarrassing
and delaying the passage of the river. The fight continued
just one hour, and in that time" the main body of the vol-
unteers" repelled the attack on them, built the bridge, cross-
ed over at imminent peril, and joined the regulars at the
close of the fight. It is undeniable that the main body of
the volunteers were eager to cross, and did cross, as soon
as they possibly could, and would readily have advanced to
another fight, had the commanding General deemed it ad-
visable to order it.
This is believed to be a strictly true account of the first
affair of the Wythlacoochee, and it must serve to retrieve
the Florida volunteers, as a body; from any imputation of
misconduct or want of courage. It is not my purpose to
give any detail of this fight, when it is admitted that the
twenty-seven volunteers and the three olfficers-fought brave-
ly. But it may be proper to remark that Colonel Warren,
and not Colonel Warner, is the officer meant by "Aristi-
des," anid that, besides the officers named, Colonel Park-
hill, MaM r (now General) Read, and Majors Gamble and,
Wellford, were also present; and that some of these last
attracted the special commendation of the regulars them-,
selves on this occasion.
I shall now, Messrs. Editors, take leave of this subject,
to which I should have been invited by an abstract love of
truth, even if I had not felt impelled to do justice to a
much abused and suffering People.
DECEMBER 17, 1836.
The foregoing remarks were written at the time they
bear dtle, but,owing to engagements which called the wri-
ter suddenly from his home, they could not be transmitted
before this for publication. Permit him to indulge the
hope that you will not deem them yet out of season ; that
at this time, most especially when the claims of his much
injured and suffering fellow-citizens to pecuniary redress
from their Government for their unmerited losses have been
so forcibly urged upon Congress by the Chief Magistrate
of the nation, an attempt to disabuse the Publicin relation
to the moral wrongs they have endured, may meet with
countenance and support. And, as illustrating and con--
firming the views he has advanced, he is now enabled to
refer to the events of the Jast-eanipaign, to place the char-
acter of the Florida militia upon the same elevated ground
with those of their brave auxiliaries. He can appeal with con-
fidence to every officer and man of every corps engaged in
the late affairs of Florida, to bear witness that where all
behaved well, no troops in the Army exhibited more cour-
age, or endured with more patience the sufferings of the
service, than did the volunteers and militia of this Territo-
ry. The same recent events afford' a striking practical
commentary on the disputed question of a summer cam-
paign.
A force of about 1,200 volunteers march through the
country about the middle of Septeminber, the most sickly
and oppressive season of the year, and, except from the
measles, which accompanied them from their homes, they
suffer but little from disease. In fact, they enjoy a greater
degree of health than any similar army have ever experi-
enced in any country. Their advance at once relieves a
rich, extensive, ad most ev exposed' country from the pre-
sence and pressure of the savage foe, whose previous de-
vastations were spreading ruin and dismay throughout the
land. The whole army engaged in active operations'suf-
fered less from disease that did' one of the small detach-
ments of regular troops cooped'up in a frontier post. Not
an individual of the Florida troops in this armn.v but felt

that his labors and fatigues were lessened, the dangerto his
health and life diminished, and the safety of his home and
family were secured every step he advanced towards the
enemy. These results alone, if no serious injury and loss
had been inflicted on the enemy, would alone fully justify
this hasty advance into the Indian nation.
But these remarks have already been too far extended,
and will now be closed, with many acknowledgments for
your former indulgence.

S THE PUBLIC LANDS.
The House resumed the consideration of the following
resolution, offered on yesterday by Mr. CHLT/oN ALLAN :
Beit resolved, That a select committee of one member from
" each-State be appointed, whose duty it shallbe to inquire into the
justice and expediency of making to each of the thirteen origi-
nal American States, together with each of the States of Ver-
mont, Maine, Kentucky, and Tennessee, such grants of thie pub-
lic lands, for the purposes of education, as will correspond in a
just proportion with those heretofore made in favor of the first-
iamed' States and Territories, and that said committee have leave
to report by bill or othermvise. But, to avold the objoc'ion of
one State holding land in another, the committee is directed to
insert a clause in time bill whicb, they may report, providing
that the grants to be made thereby shall be subject to sale un-
der the laws of the General Government now in force, and that
the proceeds arising therefrom shall be paid over to the States
entitled to the same.
To which the following amendments were pending:
By Mr. VINTON:

Resolved, That the said inquiry extend to all the States, and
that the said committee be further instructed to inquire into the
expediency of inserting a clause in "said bill to pay said new
. Statos-the" value of tlhe improvements made by them on the pub-
lioelands, or tr pay to .them the amount the public lands would.
have been assessed fir taxes, if they had been private property
By Mr. JOHNSON, of La. to amend the resolution,
by extending its provisions to all the States of the Union.

By Mr. CLAIBORNE, of Mississippi, to amend, the
amendment by adding thereto the following:
And provided that no such grant shall interfere worth1 or be
located on the claim or improvement of any actual settler on, the
public lands.
Mr. HARRISON, of Mo., addressed' the House at
length in opposition to the resolution, and with a view to
show that the preamble was entirely erroneous in the as-
* sumption which it contained, that the grants to the new
States were gratuities for which no consideration had been
received. He denied the position; and maintained that
the.States accepted the land, not as a gratuity, but under
a compact entered into under the ordinance of 1787, by
which compact the new States, in consideration of the
grants, had surrendered one of the greatest attributes of
sovereignty-the right to tax the public domain within
their limits.
Mr. HANNEGAN was of opinion no practical good
was to le obtained by the continuance of the discussion,
and moved to lay the whole subject on the table.
Mr. C. ALLAN called for the yeas and nays on that
motion, which were ordered; and, being taken, were-
Yeas 95, nays 99. So the motion to lay tie subject on the
table was rejected.
On motion of Mr. GARLAND, of Virginia, the House
proceeds to the Orders of the Day.
EXECUTIVE ADMINISTRATION.
The House resumed the consideration of the resolution
heretofore offered by Mr. WISE, together with the pending
amendment of Mr. D. J. PEARCE, providing for the appoint-
ment of a select committee to inquire into the administra-
tion of the Executive Departments.
Mr. ROBERTSON concluded his remarks, and the
House was addressed by Messrs. HANNEGAN and HA-
MER.
Mr. H. had not concluded, when he gave way to a mo-
tion for adjournment; and, on motion of Mr. ANTHO-
NY, the House adjourned.

WASHINGTON.
Liberty and Union, now. and forever, one and

FRIDAY, JANUARY 6, 1837.

PROPOSED HOSPITAL AT WASHINGTON.

The measure proposed in the subjoined bill is
one which must commend itself as well to the
judgment as to the feelings of the gentlemen who
compose the two Houses of Congress. Sole Le-
gislator for this District, Congress is the only
authority competent to accomplish a purpose,
the necessity of which must be admitted by all
who have examined, even ever so little, into the
subject. But the claim of Humanity is still
stronger upon Congress, in its federative cha-
racter as Governor of the whole country, than in
its local capacity. From every quarter of the
country; from the remotest bounds of civiliza-
tion, and from all the intermediate circles of so-
ciety of which Washington is the centre, indi-
viduals are drawn to this city, in pursuit of rights,
real or supposed, whose worldly means are too
often exhausted before they arrive here or before
they get away, and' who become objects of cha-
rity, or victims tio want and suffering, which,
through ignorance of'it, and the want of such an
Institution as a public Hospital, charity itself is
not able to relieve. The relief of such objects,
besides, it needs no argument to show, ought
not to continue to depend on individual benevo-
lence. The Government, which attracts such a
population to this city, ought to protect the
poor, the needy, and the unfortunate, as well
as reward the bold, the ingenious, the perse-
vering-ay, and the obtrusive applicants for
its favor. The worn-down projector, who finds,
after a travel of a thousand miles, that his che-

ago as before he was born; the hapless mo-
ther or widow who seeks in, vain. from Gov-
ernment a support which her son or husband, in
the public service, once afforded her; the revo-
lutionary veteran, whose living evidences of
youthful service have descended to the grave be-
fore him; the less unhappy subject of some
mental delusion which impels him to seek fame
or fortune through strange eccentric paths-
these, and all the varieties of distress with which
a resident of the metropolis, in course of time,
becomes acquainted, are entitled to the regards
of Congress, and not the less so because it is
impossible that, either as a class or as individuals,
they can ever plead their own cause before that
tribunal. We rejoice that there have been found
those who are willing and able to do it for them.
We rejoice that there has been found a commit-
tee of Congress, with one of the most experienc-
ed and faithful members at its head, that has
listened to the plea in behalf of the unfortunate,
and has sustained it, as far as it can, by report-
ing the bill to which we have now the pleasure
of directing the attention of our readers,

IN SENATE, JANUARY 4, 1837 .
MR. KENT, from the Committee for the District
of Columbia, reported the following bill ;
which was read, and passed to a second read-
ing:
A BILL to authorize the erection of an hospital in the.
city of Washington, and for other purposes.
Be it enacted, 4-c. That the Commissioner of the Public
Buildings be, and he is hereby, authorized and required,
under the direction of the Preuidnt of tho-jnited-State,
and upon a plan and site to be by him approved, to erect a
building in the city of Washington, suitable for an hospi-
tal, for the reception and accommodation of the insane of
the District of Columbia, and of such sick, disabled, and
infirm seamen, soldiers, and others, as may, by competent
authority, to be hereafter prescribed, be deemed proper to
be received therein.
SEc. 2. And be it further enacted, That, on the comple-
tiori of the said building, the President be authorized to
appoint three respectable persons, residents of the city of
Washington, to be a board of inspectors of the said insti-
tution, who shall hold their offices two years from the date
of their appointment; and whose duty it shall be to have
a general supervision of the concerns of the said hospital;
to appoint the necessary subordinate officers thereof; to
prescribe rules for the admission and due regulation of pa-
tients therein, and' to make an annual report to Congress of
their proceedings, and of the condition of the said institu-
tion.
SEc. 3. And be it further enacted, That there be, and

there is hereby,, appropriated the sum of-- dollars for
the erection of the said building, to bo paid out of any mo-
ney not otherwise appropriated.
Sentence of death was pronounced on the 27th ult. by
Judge CawronRD, upon PHILANDER R. BRO-AD, who was d.
short time since- convicted before the United States Circuit
Court, sitting at Mobile, of an attack upon the mail stage,
in the Creek nation, last spring. He is to be hung on the
first Friday in:March next.

At this moment, when a surplus of money has *
been declared to be in the Treasury, to an amount.
singularly contrasting with the predictions of
the opponents of the Distribution Bill, and far
exceeding the most sanguine anticipations of its
friends, the Letter of Judge CL&AYTON, of Geor-
gia, which we have copied into the preceding
page, will be found to be of considerable inter-
est. He is not only not opposed to further dis-
tribution, if there be further accumulation of
revenue beyond the amount required for the
necessary purpose's of Government, but lie is of
opinion that the States have a legal title to all
the proceeds of the sale of public lands in the
territory Northwest of the Ohio, and could re-
cover them from the United States if there were
any Court in which such a case could be impar-
tially tried.

It is a subject of regret that, at this interest-
ing period of the session,. Mr. Senator EwING,
of Ohio, should be obliged to absent himself (for
a week or two, at least,) from his seat in the
Senate. Afflictive intelligence from home hav-
ing reached him', he immediately left this city,
for his residence ii.n Ohio, on Wednesday
evening.

T EE MAILS.-No newspaper has been received in
this city from the.city of New York of a letter date than
Sunday last, except only the New York Courier and En-
quirer of Monday'morning. Where all, the rest of the
papers of Monday, and where all the papers of Tues-
"day, due at this office yesterday morning, are,. we cannot
pretend to say. The Philadelphia papers are' all up to time.

The Little Rock (Ark.)-Advocate. of the 16th
ult. states that Col. Wi. WHrTsoN was killed on
the 5th in an affray,. which took place in Craw-
ford county.
The same paper states that the U. S. troops
at Camp Sabine have been ordered by Gen. AR-
BUCKiE to abandon that station and return to
our Western frontier.

Wgeg We copy the following from the Balti-
more papers, as well in justice to Captain SUT-
TON, who has earned such testimony to his good
conduct, as because it establishes the where-
abouts of a number of distinguished and respect-
ed citizens of different parts of our common
country :
Meeting of the passengers on board of the steam..
boat Pocahontas, Jan. 3, 1837.
On motion, General EDMUND P. GAINES, of the United
States Army,.was called to the chair, and, at the sugges-'
tion of Captain ALDEN PARTRIDGE, of Vermont, General
GEORGE C. DROMGOOLE, of the House of Representatives,
and Mr. Jon-N H. WHEELER, of North Carolina, were ap-
pointed a committee to express the grateful acknowledg-
ments of the passengers to-Captain SUTTON, of the steam-
boat Pocahontas, for his gentlemanly and accommodating
conduct in her late perilous trial from Norfolk to Baltimore;
and although impeded by the ice from reaching Baltimore,
yet he left no effort untried to effect this object, and did
every thing that laid in his power to make us comfortable
at this inclement season.

The Maysville (Kentucky) Monitor of the 29th
December has the following paragraph-:.
REPORTED STEAMBOAT DIsASTER.-It was reported here
last week by boats from above, that the entire cabin of the
steamboat Mariner, on her way up, was blown off during a
gale that prevailed on Monday or Tuesday night, and that
twenty or thirty passengers had been aroused from- their
quiet slumbers to find their death-pillows beneath the ruthless
wave! 'he appearance, a few days after this report, of
large pieces of wreck floating down with the ice, was cal-
culated to confirm the most melancholy intelligence.
NEW ORLEANs, DEC. 29, 1836.
We have noticed with great pleasure the acts of courte-
sy and hospitality extended by our citizens to the officers
of the FRENCH brig GAZELLE, now lying in our port.
Her arrival among'us was received with marked demon-
strations of pleasure, and the interchange of ivilities which
from time to time has taken place among her officers and
the citizens cannot fail of producing the most happy re-
sults.
A sumptuous dinner was given them on Tuesday last,
at Davis's Rooms, on Orleans street, attended by a large
and respectable portion of citizens, who, mingling in the
full flow of generous feeling excited by the occasion, gave
a most cordial greeting to their respected guests. Among
the number of invited guests we recognized the French
Consul, Commandant RoussEAu, Gen. PLAoCHE, the Sec-
retary of State, and others. The company retired from the
table at an early hour, after drinking many patriotic toasts,
and in the course of the evening visited the different thea-
tres, French and American, which were thrown open by
their courteous and liberal proprietors.-Bulletin.

for saving the life of his wife from drowning!'
DiciuNSoN COLLEGE.-A paragraph is going the rounds
of the papers, stating that Dickinson College, at Carlisle,
Pa. has been reduced to ashes. This is altogether incor-
rect. The fire which occurred on the premises last week,
originated in, and was confined entirely to a detached build-
ing, occupied as a preparatory school. No part of the Col-
lege proper was injured in the slightestdegree, and no great
incofivenience will result from the conflagration, as immedi-
ate provision was made by the faculty for the accommoda-
tion of the grammar pupils. The building destroyed was
insured.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.

ANNAPOLIS, JAN. 3, 1837.
At 12 o'clock to-day, the Legislature, by joint
ballot, elected the Executive Council. All the

the sense of the People of Baltimore county on
the propriety of separating the county from the
city, was read a second time, and ordered to be
engrossed for a third reading.
The bills to increase the delegation from Bal-
timore city, and to require the consent of two-
thirds of Atch branch of the Legislature to an-
nul a marriage contract, were severally passed
and sent to the House,
FREDERICKSBURG, JANUARY 4.
A very destructive fire occurred in Charlestown, Kana-
wha county, (Va.) on Friday morning, the 23d ult. Six
of the finest houses in the centre of the town, including
Wilson's extensive tavern establishment,, and nearly all
their furniture, &c. were consumed, besides two other
houses blown up to arrest the progress of the flames. The
loss is estimated at about $22,000-only $1,000 of which'
was.insured. At one period the whole town was in great
danger, and several other houses were repeatedly on fire.
This is said to be the most destructive fire' that has ever
occurred in Charlestown. *
A Phenomenon at Fort Wayne.-The citizens of Fort
Wayne (Ia.) were considerably gratified the other day by
the arrival of the steamer Phenomenon, from the head of
the Maumee rapids, Ohio. This is the first arrival of a
steamboat at the above place, and the first experiment ah
to the practicability of navigating this stream to this point.
As it has proved successful, it is supposed a new era in the
prosperity of Fort Wayne may be dated from this period.,

RAtILROAD ACCTDE.T.-A boy by the name of Miar-
well, says the Wilmington Delawarean, was crushed to
death by a railroad car, on Saturday last, in the lower
part of that city. He, with other boys, had ascended its
sides for the purpose of riding, when he slipped his hold,
and was almost instantly killed by the wheels passing over
his body; This is the cause of many of the fatal acci-
dents which take place at the stopping and starting places
on railroads. The boards at the.sides of railroad cars
should, in every case, be dispensed with, and- the great
source of danger would be removed.

VALUABLE POTOMAC LANDS & THREE
FISHER IES FOR SALE OR RENT.-With
a view to a further removal to Alabama, the subscribers will sell
their Deep Hole and Farm Plantations, adjacent, containing two
thousand seven hundred and twenty-eight acres, lying upon
Occoquan bay, from the junction of Occoquan river to Neabsco
creek with the Potomac, and bounded on the west by the old
mail stage road to Colchester, along which the contemplated
railroad from the South mustbe constructed. The farm and fishe-
ries are of easy access, by land and water, about 18 miles from
Alexandria, three from Occoquan, and one from Colchester.
These are unquestionably the most fertile lands in Prince
William county-adapted to the growth of wheat, corn, tobacco,
oats, timothy, &c. and highly susceptible of improvement by
clover and plaster. Tile Occoquan mills and factoryare a conve-
nient market. The overseer's house, barns, quStaters, wheat
machine, fencing, &c. are in corresponding condition.
The Deep Hole fishing shore is known to be among the best
upon the Potomac. The Farm Marsh (or Mud Haul) fishery has
been fished several years successfully ; also the Plum Tree fish-
ery, betweenlthe two. Houses are on each shore. There is
abundant sea-room for seines of the largest class.
Many hundred cords of wood might ibe cut and sold on the
land, immediately on Neabsco creek, for which there is a constant
demand ; and there mightstill remain sufficient wood and timber
for the use of the estate.
The winter fisheries and ducking shores are also valuable.
Liberal terms are offered. The fisheries, well managed, will
mort than pay the interest of cost. One-fourth cash; the bal-

ance in three equal annual instalments. Possession may be giv-
en at the ensuing Christmas.
Such an opportunity is rarely offered for judicious investment.
For terms, (if by letter, post paid,) apply to William Hindman,
Esq. Baltimore, or to the subscribers.
