After he had been there about a week, the old German became heartily tired of him, and concluded, to try his hand upon him ; so. in the morning, alter the people had assembled, am d before the Mormon began his lecture, he rose up, and address ed the Mormon thus : " II 1 dush untershtant you right you dush vanl any of us to ask you arjy ques tionr bout vat you ses.

Then there was a party appointed to stay with the waggons and haggage, as guards, whilst the rest of us marched to our en emies towns. We continued our course to Streke, an Indian town, called Estatoe. When within about two miles of ihelsame, we parted in divisions as follows. Col.

Peter Clinton.s, in Xke province of South Carolina, and on or by the waters of Elisoii s creek, to engage the Indians, on an account of the insurrections they made on the white inhabitants, killing and plundering XII they come to. This express occasioned us to rise to stop them in their present undertaking. Being commanded by Cot. Neef, and under Capt. Clinton, we started, and marched lo Wj. liam Hall's, and encamped after a day's march of about 14 miles. Tuesday, the 9ih day of July, 1776, we marched over Broad Riyerj about two miles. and meeting a party of our men, it gave us fresh toititude in tbe pursuing of our heathen ene. mies. vve-encamped n ere alter a day march of about 18 miles. Wednesday, the lOih. we started, and march ed 25 miles to one Moor's, if We continued our march next day 15 miles to one Mr. Waford's fort, on Lawson's fork, bearing that, the Indi ans had persisted as far as Princess fort, on Tiga, and killing and plundering all before them, hurried us on in our march to the aforesaid fort, where we arrived Friday the 12th in$ant. We found no enemy there. We stayed itherefwo days : Then hearing our enemies were har bouredand encouraged at the house of one Per- res's, we started and marched within two miles, being joined with, or assisted by Col, Thomas's regiment, in all about 300 men. We encamp ed on a hill all night, in order to attack the house and inhabitants therein in the' morning. When daylight came, we surrounded the house, but, contrary to our expectations, we found no Indians there, for they, had left that Iplace, and naa emooaiea tnemseives togejner ana march ed to another fort called Lindly's fort, being assisted by or with a number of whitemen, in order to destroy the same but by the conduct and valour of the inhabitants of the fort, the designs of the heathen enemy were frustraled, being torced to retreat alter a smart firing from both sides. After a retreat of these heathens the battle ended with liitlel or nos)aughter on either side, save some few: wounded. We will next return to Perris's, and let 'ou know that we took his wife and daughters,! add, in sh-rt, all his family, as likewise Some tories that har boured there.; so ''taking all prisoners, and committing his houses to )he flames, we took his effects, as free plunder driving cows, steers and horses, and brought all to our camp at Princes's fort, distant 25 miles. When we ar rived, we saw a man that!, had gone that night to a mill, about 6 miles off, with a waggon for provisions, who intendedj to rejjurn that night, so as . e was returning, within two miles of the fort, and ridinga horse cross jihe creek, not thinking of danger, on a sudden there was an Indian within two roods off him,and to his sur prise fired at him, and shot hrn through the thick of the thigh, and the horse' scaring, threw him down, The Indian Immediately made to him, hut to save himself jumped into the creek ; then rushed forth another Indian with his gun ready to fire, which made the poor water.pri soner expect nothing but death;: But to be short, he fired at him, and the bullet look him below the shoulder and out by the left breast. ment, in the front or center. jWe marched ve ry carefully till coming within sight of the town, then rushed in with all speed possible, but, con trary to our expectation or desire, we got no Indians there, save one lhat escaped, with be irig shot in his thigh. After! this we set the houses on fire, and marched as quick as possi ble to another town, called Qualhatchee ; and our enemies having left lhat also, we commit ted it to the flames, and started with rather run ning than marching to another town called Toxaway : And the inhabitants thereof being deserted, we stayed there but a short time, and left it on fire to warm themselves by at their re turn. We well remember this also, that while we marched to the aforesaid (own. a few of our men detained in this Qualhatchee Town, and gathering peaches, and roasting ears, being tired with traveling, they laid themselves down to rest, and the enemy, who always watches such opportunities, coming close to two of our I aforesaid men, fired at tberri, and shot one of them through the thigh. This shot coming so unexpectedly, set the men in great surprize ; for no assistance being nigh!, they expected no thing but death : But making the beet speed they could up a neighbouring mountain, being tired with running, and the j wounded man al most ready to faint, they halted to rest them selves ; and casting their! eyes towards the ground that they left, they espied about sixteen Indians there, looking as earnestly for blood as a hunter after his game. After this discovery they started to our baggage guard, and got safe there : By this time we came up, wishing for such game, but finding none we made to our waggons, and arrived about sunset, being dis tant about 9 miles. Sunday, the 6th of August, we started wag. gons and- all. and marched to our aforesaid towns again, to help them off with some of their crops and vegetables, of which they were very, well stored, far beyond our conception. But to be short, we persisted in that Undertak ing as far as the furthermost of the aforesaid towns. After these performances, we were yet ordered to continue, and marched down Savana river to Shugartown, in order to meet General Williamson there, according to his own appointment. When we arrived, we found the town destroyed, and them gone. We set ot after them down the aforesaid water to an. other town called Keewee, where we met with parly ol the aloresaid Ueueral s regiment, Perkins and his 35 men saw two Indians, and fired at them. The Indians instantly set up the war hoop, and ran. The party followed, and was quickly met by a party of the enemy, supposed to be between' 2 and 300. who en gaged them very furiously, when Major Downs, j fortunately came up in the rear, and Anderson ! falling on the back of the enemy. To the right the. firing was heard at the town, when Williamson turned out with 150 men, who coming close on the back of the enemy, made them quickly give way. The furthermost of their party being almost surrounded, and were j entirely cut off, 16 were found dfad in the val- These our men scalped, but did not look any further, it being now near sunset, they were called off by beat of a drum. We had 2 killed and 16 wounded, 3 of the latter died next day, of whom was Capt. Neel and Capt. Lacy, a couple of brave officers and good men : So close was the engagement, From the Republic. A resolution, introduted by Mr. Yuleein the Senate, on Monday last, 4s iow pending before that body, requesting the Psesidext oT the U. States " to inform the Senate whether any and what information has been received by the Ex. ecutive Department respecting an alleged mil itary exedition against the Islarid of Cuba, and to communicate to the Senate copies of all cor. jespondenee and orders relative thereto." To this resolution, Mr. Walker, on Tuesday, offered an amendment 'requesting the Psesi. dext further " lo inform ihe Senate by what authority he has'sfnt air armed vessel or ves sels lo the Island, of Cuba, with a view to for cibly suppress such revolution, if such be the fact." We do not understand, nor has it been so an nounced, lhat the President has ordered any part of our naval force to Cuba forthejup. pression of an apprehended revolution in that Island. No such idea, it may safely be pre sumed, ever entered his mind. But,' having received satisfactory information, as heretofore announced, 44 rendering it most probable that a military organization had been set on foot, with. that a stout Indian engaged a sturdy young , in lhe United Slates, formidable boih in num whiieman, who was a good bruiser, and expert at gouging, after breaking their guns on each other, they laid hold of other, when the crack er had his thumbs instantly in the fellows eyes, who roared and cryed, canaly, enough in Eng lish ; damn you, says the whiteman, you can never have enough while you are alive He then threw him down, set his foot upon his head, and scalped him alive ; then took up one of the broken guns and knocked out his brains. It would have been fun if he had let the latter action alone, and sent him home without his ! nightcap to tell his country-men how he had ! been treated. I am next to inform you that our provision being out, we concluded to re- turn for a fresb supply of tbe same, and steered bers and from the character of ihoserengaged in it, for the purpose of attacking lhe Island of Cuba and revolutionizing the government," the President did immediately order a naval force ! to proceed fbrthwiih to lhat island, with a view i to ascertain whether any military force organ j ized in the United Slates Was proceeding thith er for such a purpose, with instructions, if that I were found to be true, 44 to prevent the landing j of any such force or the' carrying out of any such expedition or enterprise ; and with fur- ther instructions, in the event of a landing hav. ing been effected, to prevent the landing of re inforcement8, or of any arms or provisions un der the American flig, intended for such expe dition or enterprise." In this proceeding the Fresident has but faithfully obeyed the injunctions of the : law. The act of Congress of lhe 20th of April, 1818; makes it a highly penal offence for any person 44 within the territory or jurisdiction of the if. States. tO bepin. set on fiml. r nrovirla r nni. marched to Broad River; so continued our pare the means for anv military expedition or course home, and tbe number of miles that we ! enternrise to be nmH frm' ..:, I ... w.a w iiiviivi ua iijoi homewards iwith but one davs allowance.

Gf preventing lhe carrying on of any such ex. destroy all opposing enemies, and to pursue the i pP(i, ion or enterprise from the territories or whilst the other party was! a hunting for towns, camps, or any other place of harbouring for or of our enemies. Thursday, the 8th, we started in our turn, scouting to the Cane Brakes that was confin'd by the aforesaid Savana river, and continued to Taxaway, where we routed a camp of Indians in the said town. In discovering us they all fled, save one sturdy fellow, who allowing him self to fight some ; but being prevented of his design, was forced to surriender up his camp, and worse for him, his life also, with doing no other execution than wounding one of our men through the side of his belly. Then we had to leave two companies of our men with the wounded man, and the rest of us continued hunting for more of such game, and came a long the said Savana river to a (own called Chittitogo, where we started some more of our foresters, and killed one Squa, and captivated Indians as far as mountains and roads admit ted of. So, - Friday, the 23d day of August, 1776, we started from Capt. Peter Clinton's, on Ellison's Creek, and continued our march to John Smith's, meeting nothing material, being a day's march , of about 10 miles. i Saturday, the 24ih, we started from camp, and marched to Mr. Smith's, at Broad River, distant about 19 miles. This night we receiv ed an account lhat Major Robinson had made j his escape, being soma time ago confined on account of his misbehaviour ; after thit account, ! Col. Neel ordered ofYXJapt. Andrew Neel ta lhe aforesaid Robinson's habitation, where, they found none but his wife, whom they mislisled not; ; but committed his effects lo lhe flames. After j this they returned to our camps. Sunday, the 25th, we started, to march by i order, to Sinacha fort, where we were to meet I General Williamson, our head commander;! which orders we obeyed, and marched to Mr. Goudilock's meeting, nothing material happen- j ing, distant 20 miles : So we continued from thence to Waford's fort, on Lawson's fork, find- i ing nothing worthy our relating, distant 21 j miles. From thence we steered our course to , Tiga River, and made the bet of our way to Princess. fort, on the aforesaid waters. From , thence to one Vernar's, a days march of about ; 23 miles. So, Wedneday, the 28ih instant, we next steered our course to Highi'sold place, next to Perris's j place, on Reedy River, a days march of 33 i miles.

They likewise informed us, that there were 300 warriors started to Keewee, jurisdiction of the United Smjs," This section of lhe act of 1318, although al most identical wiih the seventh section of the act of June 5tli, 1794, differs with it in one ve ry material point. In lhe latter, tbe Presi. dent was authorized to use the land and naval ' forces of lhe United Slutee to prevent the car rying on of such expeditions 44 from the territo ries of-the United Slates." l3ut in the act of 1818, the language employed is, 44 from ibe ler tories or jurisdiction of tbe United States" the terms 44 territories" and 44 jurisdiction" be. ing manifestly used in Contradiction to each other. Now, the 44 jurisdiction" of the United Slates, as everybody knows, is not limited to our 44 territories. " It extends to lhe hih seas, wherever our flag is found. All lhat sail ut. der that flag are within the jurisdiction of the -United Stales, I hough at sea and far distant from our shores. Consequently, an expedition against Cuba,carriedon in American vessels, under the American flag, is carried on from 44 the jurisdiction" of the United States, (though such vessels may be found at sea.) and as such should be prevented by the President, who is authorized by the act of 1818 to use such portion of the land or naval forces of the United States as he may deem necessary for lhat pur pose. Upon this point there can be no higher authority than Mr. Webster, from whose re marks on the subject m the Senary on Tpej day, we make the following exlracl : 44 But now let us come lothe direct question. What is it lhat is complained of? It is said the President of the United Slates has directed a portion of the naval armament of the country to the coast of Cuba lor a certain specific pur4 ; pose ; and, it tbe tacts are as they are general- and were determined to fake that (own and waggons ; and likewise that ihere was a body of them yet guarding the camps This in- i (Thow indebted to u for the year .favor by calling and settling tVeir accounts , JKSSlv .

The Indian seeing to. and started with a small body of men ; for HI this, drew his tomahawk and made lo him, thinking to have sunk it into his brains; but contrary to his expectations the wounded man snatch'd it out of his hand, and made lo the Indian, who retreated wiih the halloo of hoboy, hoboy. When the white mart saw this, he made his best way back! to the mill, knowing thai tbe Indians was between im and the fort, and got some jmen at the! mill to conduct him back to the fort.

So, we continued in the pursuit of revenge, and marched on to Perris's place ; .beholding wiih Col Thomas's was ordered by him to go back to camp.

Now, I suppose ' that whatever action the President has taken on this subject, is founded uon information that this is a military exped'uionprepared and set ! on foot in l be United Slates, in whole or in part. ' Well, then, if lhat be so, the law makes it his express duty, wherever he can exeit the mili tary and naval power, within the limits aqd ju s - - o i after hunting for his horses some time, he find ing them by a thicket, distant from camp about 1 mile. and when mounting on one ol mem, there was a shot fired from the thickets, and he casting his eyes about, perceived a sturdy In dian rushing out (herefrom and making to him, who, when be perceived, trusting to his horse for safety, set off with all speed possible, and distance pretly well lor about 100 i kept bis i yards : but. on a sudden, ihe horse fell dead, " - i r -ti. i-l t tain within 3 miles of lhe camp, being to our ! occasioned ny me aioresaui snm ; wn.cn, w, view unclimbable we assended partly to the ! he Indian perceived, increased his pace, think top of the same, and making our best speed j i"g had a negro to wait on him.
