The Milled geville Uecorder states that Neah-Mathla, (the great warrior of the Creeks, and at the head of the hostile party,) and his son, have been taken pris oners and brought to Fort Mitch ell, by Gen. Jessttp. Gen. Jessup marched from Tuskegee with sev en hundred white men, and five hundred friendly Indians. They passed near Neah-Mathla's camp, and sent several of their Jndians to him. They succeeded in de coying him a little from the camp, and took him and his son prison ers. 1 his niornincr ken. Srnti wns sent for from Fort Mitchell. and has gone there. The current rumor, that a body of 2000 Creeks had crossed the Chattahoochee on their way to Florida, is incorrect. The report originated, we understand, from the crossing of the party of Indians encountered by .Capt. Garmany, whose trail, we likewise learn, has been distinctly traced re-crossing the Chattahoochee. The Mobile ( hreniclc of the 1 1 th, contains a letter from two men near the bead waters of the Little Kiver, stating, that Powell and a young chief I io-p-to-pha, hail a personal fight in Bear Ham mock, in which Powell received a wound in the left side near the heart, with a hatchet, which in stantly caused, his death. The young chief had lied. The In dian, who was the bearer of this news to the writer of the letter, says, "those Indians will ever be unfriendly to the men who had ta ken their land." Much sickness like cholera, or a dysenteric affec tion prevailed among them. fXOur attention has been drawn to the following paragraph in a letter from the South. "It was stated that Col. Ilogan had made a publication in Ala bama, making some stariliu" dis closures of base frauds practised upott the Indians by rami specu lators, accompanied by letters from some of the leading specula tors, which had fallen into his pos session, and that the excitement against that class of men and against the town of Columbus, Georgia, w here some of them re side, is very strong. It is appre hended that these discussions would have an injurious effect up on the military. Of the "excitement" we have heard nothing but what is staled; but of base frauds and outrages practised on the Indians by land speculators, a recapitulation of which would disgrace even me Newgate Calender, we have re peatedly heard and if but the half be true, we have, we fear, the vengeance of a mightier power than that of a handful of untutored Indians to deprecate. To this class of evil doers, rather tban to the harrassed and plundered Creeks must we charge the inno cent blood which has been shed by the rifle and the tomahawk of the latter; and if the States of Georgia and Alabama permit their atrocities to go unpunished, not all the power of this nation, migh ty as it is, will be able to shield them from the calamitous visita tions which pursue nations as well as individuals when they set at defiance the immutable decrees of justice and benevolence. Soo ner or later the day of retribution will arrive. The first thing to be done is to protect the innocent who are suffering for the acts of the guilty. Let the Indians be subdued by any and every means, without delay; burwhen subdued, let them be treated with hu manity; and above all. let thot who have by their wrongs goaded them to take up arms and give a muse 10 meir savage nature, be brought to a severe account, and measures be adopted to protect the rignts, and property of the Indians from the rapacity of such harpies in future. Norfolk Herald. TEXAS. (tT'Gen. Hamilton has come out under his own proper signa ture, and indignantly denies the charge of nlottincr to take thP command in Texas, from Houston. Cotton seed oil. Messrs. Clark and Mead, of this City, have been for some time engaged in the con struction of an Oil M ill, on Neuse uiver, in this vicinity, to be nrn- pelled by water power. In a few weeks, the Machinery will be in operation. The Oil expressed from Cotton Seed, is said to be equal to the Sperm for lamps. It burns with a clear, brilliant light, without any unpleasant odour. and is less affected by c old weath er. As a Paint Oil, it is said to be a very superior article, and cold pressed and clarified, it is pronounced equal to the Olive Oil for Salads. This manufac ture is quite a desideratum to our F armers, also, as from each bale of Cotton comes about 30 bushels of Seed, and every 3 bushels of Seed yield, at least, two gallons of Oil. Katuig the Seed at 10 cents a bushel, therefore, each bale will produce to the grower 3 more than the selling price of the sta ple itself. Raleigh Reg. tt7The New Orleans Bee of the 10th says, Hubbard, the per son who set fire to U. S. Treasu ry Department at Washington, has been arrested in that city. He was traced by an officer, who supposing he would call at the Post Office for letters to a partic ular address, gave information to the Post Master, and in conse quence he was arrested on making inquiry for them. He made a full confession of his connexion with' the affair, and has promised to make known his accomplices. Another Tunnel. It has been proposed to build a tunnel under! the river Schuylkill, opposite Philadelphia. The project is re presented as very feasible. The late Mail Robbery. We learn from the Richmond Whig of Saturday that "Burdick and Huffman apprehended for robbing the mail between Richmond and! Petersburg, have been sentenced to the Penitentiary by the Federal District Court Burdick, as the actual robber, for three years Hoffman, as the receiver of the plunder, knowing it to be stolen, for one Burdick was found guil ty by a jury Hoffman confessed and threw himself on the mercy of the Court. Neither of them is a Virginian. Both are Northern men. We think that the mail will in future, be left undisturbed. We believe there is no instance of escape from detection and punish ment. Pet. Lit- f7The, mail stage between Danville and Doydton, Va. in crossing Sandy Creek, was car ried away by the force of the stream, which w as swollen by the late freshet. Three horses were drowned, the stage much injured, and the passengers narrowly es caped. ib. Tailors in New York. Twen tv Journeymen Tailors have been recently tried before the Court of Oyer & Terminer, in city of New York, and convicted of a conspir acy in forming themselves with others into an unlawful club or combination to injure trade, by making arbitrary by-laws, and to prevent journeymen tailors from working for any tailor who would not assent to said by-laws; in other words for a "strike" or "turn out for wages." Henry Faulkner, who was President of the Society, was fined one hundred and fifty dollars; another, who made hirn self particularly conspicuous, one hundred dollars; and all others fifty dollars each,, and stand com mitted till the fine's-are paid. High Prices. Complaints are rife around us of the immense pri ces which are demanded for everv necessary of life, and appearances are very much in favor of their continuance. Everybody is ris- ing in price, or striking for wages. but we poor Printers and Editors. We have a previous contract to fulfil; and "come high, come low," it must be abided by. But we shall make no complaints and therefore recommend our friends to do as we intend to do, when ba con and green? become too severe for our pockets live on philoso phy and corn bread! 'twill be better than all the Anti-dyspeptic-pills ever patented. Pet. Con. fXA peck of green peas was sold in Boston on Monday, June 13, for ten dollars. The Editor of the Petersburg Constellation remarks, that it would be hard to say whether the peas or the pur chaser were the greenest. Hard Times. An old lady was complaining a few days ago in the market of the excessive high price of provisions. "It is not meat only that is so enormously dear," said she, "but I cannot obtain flour for a pudding for less than double the usual price, and they do not make the eggs half so large as they used to be!" Boston Mercantile. Gold Coinage. Last week, bv the Treasury returns, it appears; that $28G,G25 in gold was coined j at the mini, an amount nearly! equal to the whole average annual coinage before 1834. Globe. Ohio. The legislature of Ohio has rejected 43 applications for new Banks; prohibited the issuing and circulating within the State, small bank notes, and also the establishment of any agency wiih-j in ihe Stale of the U. S. Bank at Philadelphia. Methodical Duelling. The Fiedricksburg Herald gives an account of a duel recently fought near Tallahassee by George Ward, Esq. brother of (he Lieu tenant Ward who was shot some time ago by Colonel Parish, and Colonel Allston, brother-in-law of Colonel Parish. They met with four pistols each, and being sta tioned at fifty paces distance, had the privilege of advancing as they fired. Each fired four times, the last at twenty-five paces: Ward was wounded in the right shoul der, and Allston severely in some portion of his body not mentioned. Introduction of Liquor into the Sandwich Islands. i is humilia ting to watch the gradual progress of events as they have successively developed themselves in the pre tended humane attempt to civilize and christianize the "poor delud ed heathen" of the Sandwich Is lands, as they have been very charitably denominated by our overweaning and exclusive phil anthropists. It now appears what was long ago predicted as an inev itable result, has actually come to pass. The same steps in times past in New England, led to the same fatal goal. After having at great labor and much indiscreet expenditure of the funds of chari table associations to transplant missionaries and school masters yea, and school mistresses into Owyhee and others of the groupe atier naymg induced the chiefs to assume in part our costume and customs, like monkeys in soldiers clothes after in short perverting them from the innocent purity of savage life, and infecting the is land with the sordid love of traffic, maugre the prayer . meetings and bible societies, the cluster has become a place of great resort for whale ships and consequently of sailors, who carouse as much in the grog-shops of Honolulu and other towns of Oahu, as they do at the present moment at the Five Points of this city. The truth is notwithstanding the out cry a- gainst intemperance and the send ing out ot " J emperance whale nps," as they are called from ueu:uru anu otner places, these ships are found to be the re- IV.. r at i i -i i cipients of cheap New England Rum, exported in very consider - able quantities to all the Sandwich' the banks of (he Mohawk: per Islands, as poor human nature is haps worse yet! he is a nvtriied too weak with all its preaching to j man, and finds Mrs. Reflector to resist the temptation of the great j be a whew! no matter what; profits to be obtained.

The ex tension of our commerce in those seas requires an analysing search ing inquiry on the part of our gov ernment, which duty it is san guinely hoped will be entrusted in a special manner to the Exploring Expedition authorized to be filled out for those seas.

Pet. Con. Economy in Linen-washing. A correspondent of the Dundee paper writes as follov. s: After mg ot one-fourth of soap. The .method adopted was to dissolve a rsUe of the pipe-clay among the water in the washing tt b,or to rub . a bttie of it together w ttii the soap on the articles to be washed. Tl is process was repeated as ofei as required, until the articles to be i washed were made thoroughly j clean. All who have mnde the experiment, have agreed that 'lie savingof soap and labor are great, and that the clothes are improved in color equally as if tht-y wrre 1 bleached. The peculiar advau- I tage of employing this article with i the soap is, that it gives the hard- est water almost the softness of rainwater. A n etc mode of draining Swamps , 4c.
