Miscellaneous
INDIAN WAR.
Latest from Gen. J sun's Ar
my- The Savannah Republican
oi the J bin inst. says: We are in
debted to the politeness of Capt.
rleubard, of the steam packet
Florida, arrived this morning
from Florida, fur the following
. ' o
tuiormation:
Capt. Mebbard states that an
Express arrived at Black Creek
on Sunday last with news ihnt the
army under Gen. Jesup, caotmed
on the night of the 9th inst., 1G
Iegroes belonging to Omenta's
tones anil that bo more were ta
ken on the 1 1th, among them
the fellow Primus, sent out by
Gen. Clinch as a spjy in March
1836, and never returned. TJie
Negroes that were captured state,
ihat Oseola was in the Cove of the
Withlacoochee, sick. Gen. Jesup
had sent troops donn on each
side of the W'uhlacoochee, in or
der to take him, if possible.
Captain Hebbard further states
that it was reported that Primus
was to have been hunc on last
Saturday.
Jacksonville, January 12. In
dian signs are reported to be plen
ty between Black Creek and New
nansville. A body of men under
Col. Wnrreri, composed of de
tachments from the companies of
Militia of this and neighboring
counties, in the service of the Uni
ted Stales, have gone to scour
that section of country, and to
give the Indians battle if they can
be found. It is supposed there is
a body of Indians between Orange
Lake and the Ochlawaha.
We ha ve no late news from Gen.
Jesup. That the Indians in con
siderable force are between us and
the army, is ahnost certain from
reports received.
More Creek Hostilities. We
understand, says the Macoii Tele
graph of the 5ih inst. that a fresh
irruption of Creek Indians has
broke out. Two plantations
twenty miles below Columbus, on
the Hatchachttbby Creek, have
been ransacked and burnt, and
one or two negroes killed. A
great alarm prevails in and about
t'Ohimbus. A Company ol hlty
men started in pursuit of the In
dians, but with what success we
have yet to learn.
Cherokees. Gen. WTool has re
turned from Valley river, and we
understand will leave to-day for
the Cherokee Agency, on his way
to New Echota. He informs us
that the North Carolina Indians
are unanimously opposed to the
treaty, and there is, at least a
probability that they will have to
be forced from the country. One
of their Chiefs applied to the Gen
eral to have their arms returned
to them, but being informed that
their arms could otdy be returned
upon their agreeing to submit to
the treaty they refused to take
them upon that condition. The
discontented Indians inotherparts
of the nation are moving into
North Carolina, and it is doubted
whether they will leave there pea
ceably. They have always re
fused to receive rations from the
Government this portion ol them.
There is, however, no present dan
ger of hostilities, and perhaps no
actual resistance to the treaty will
be made, but nevertheless it is ve
ry probable the Indians of North
Carolina will have to be forced
off. Tennessee Journal.
Threatened Indian War in the
North West. Great excitement
prevails among the Sacs and Fox
es in consequence of the murder of
several of their tribe by the Sioux.
large body of the Indians have
cx turned to hunt, by written per
mission, on the land they lately
ceded to the United States. The
Iowa Gazette, in copying the a-
bove intelligence from the Galena
Advertiser, doubis its truth, as
Oen. Street, the Indian agent ai
Rock Island, ii an efficient offi
cer, and had not transmitted any
such information to Gov. Dodae.ib.
TEXAS.
From Texas.- The correspon
dent of the Courier at New Or

Velasco, from Velasco. All was
quiet in Texas. Emigrants and
settlers from the United Slates are
pouring in in large numbers.
Eight or nine vessels were pre
paring to sail from New Orleans,
Jan. 7, with goods and passengers
for the same destination also
300 emigrants from the Colorado

announces the arrival of Santa
Anna and his aid, Colonel Al

Santa Anna has had two inter
views with the President since his
arrival at Washington.
We have received the Texas
Chronicle of the lOlh November,
with a note on the margin intima
ting that it is the last of the Mohi
cans, the Editor having given it
upas a bad job. It states that
Gen Bravo is about to put him
self at the head of 20,000 men to
make a descent on Texas, and
that the Mexican government has
raised 800,000 to carry on the
war. Bustamenta is to be recall

Licking Frost. The Salem
Chronicle slates that a boy who

Mr. Randolph put certain queries

Randolph denied the authorship:

Mr. Jones knocked Mr. Ran

fracture.
Mr. R. has sned Mr. J. for

(tTWe learn ihat Mr. Kinne
Morgan, of Cabarras county, was
stabbed on Friday last j by one of
his own negroes. The circum
stances as related to ns hy a friend
are these: There had been previ
ously a misunderstanding between
the boy and his master, and while
engaged on Friday in greasing a
waggon Mr. M. told a little boy
who lives with him to scotch the
wheel and to place it before the
wheel; the negro told him to place
it behind. Mr. M. shoved the
negro one side, we suppose, to do
it himself, the negro seized him,
drew his knife and stabbed him in
two places; one in the hip, the
other in the side; the wound in hi
side entered his liver and caused
his death. The negro fled and
had not been taken when our in
formant left home.. CharloUeJour.
A Coach made of the wood of
the Constitution. A beautiful
coach has been built entirely of
the old frigate Constitution, at
Amherst, Massachusetts. It is
intended as we are informed, for
New Year's present to Gen. Jack
son, and was paid for by the con
tributions of several gentlemen in
this city. It is now at Washing

Singular Delusion. A barn
iti New Haven was lately destroy
ed by fire, the torch having been
applied by a deaf and dumb boy
named Piatt, who indicated b
signs that had committed the act
under the belief that he would be
translated to heaven by it like
Elisha of old in a chariot of fire
but was soon convinced by the
severe scorching he received, that
there was no spiritual or allegori
cal allusion in the business, but a
matter of fact toke that obliged
him to escape from the chariot and
take to his legs.
fXThe sugar crops of Louis
iana do not remunerate the plan
ters many of whom shall conse
quently have to cultivate rice, in
digo and cotton; and some may
turn their attentioq to silk some
to preparing wood for fuel, con
sidering the present exhorbitant
price. Whatever can pay best
soonest must of course merit chief
attention. We have heard that
the sugar planters in the aggre
gate or on an average, nave not
realised more than 3 per tent per
annum any year since 1829.

have seen a reason given by a
poor fellow for marrying. It was
that the winter was coming on,
and he had but a single blanket,
his Dolly also had but one, and
they proposed to put the two to
gether, and round both of them.
The printers in this stale are find
ing this policy necessary in thtse
hard times. The Wiscaset and
Bath papers have united; the
Brunswick Regulator (fas stop
ped; the Caina Orb has struck in
to a new comet at Belfast; the
Working Men's Advocate' has
joined the Bangorean, and both
together have united with the
Mechanic and Farmer; the old
Hallowell Advocate, after swal
lowing up first the Workingham's
Advocate at Augusta; and then the
Free Press at Hallowell, has final
ly been merged iu the Kennebeck
Journal; the Christian Pilot and
Gospel Banner have united; and
now the Bangor Whig tells- us
that the People's Press and the
Commercial Advertiser at Bangor,
(Van Buren papers) are to be
united.
This reduction in the number of
presses is inevitable unless the pri
ces are raised.

Jill the Bonapartes coming to

called "La Presse" says, that ill
consequence of friendly intima

Bonaparte family will emigrate td

males whose age incapacitates
them from sustaining the fatigues
of the voyage. This will be a
wholesale accession of royalty to
our population, and 1fall of them
act with the circumspection and
benevolence Joseph did, they and
their money will be a valuable
acquisition. It Is asserted that
orders are already issued for the
sale of their large estates in Italy
and elsewhere. We strongly
doubt if they can forego the luxu
ries and distinction which they
haVe enjoyed in Europe, even
since they have been a fallen dy
