:!H rl I'll' 1 1 ' t ii : I II "i I 1 i i THE WEEKLY , CHRONICLE AND FARMERS' REGISTER inst. ; ; FLORIDA. ; : ; -; j The people of Florida are burning Gen. Scott 'in effigy, charging him with a prudent avoidance pi the enemy, &c. And he, in, return, has published a most undignified 4 General Order,', representing the people of Florida as being seized with a panio at the appearance of a party of just five Indiahsj," and that' the plaruersT in the recent case near Tallahassee fled without knowing whether they ran irom squaws or warriors," ccc.f l his has added prodigiously to the excitement. f Fay. Obs. r "- - - ' ' I Ilk-';'' The Augusta (Ga.) Courier, !6f the Oth says: "Rumors of tliie alarm about Tallahassee reach us from various quarters;! The Indians had attacked St. Marks, but we're repulsed. : Florida Sis represented as likely to be given up to the Semi;oUs entirely,; and requiring to be re-conquered. They think there, that the Seminoles fare moving up to" unite with the Creeks, and opening a communica tion with their hammocks and .everglades' in the southern part ofthe- Peninsula ; they will be able to give a safe retreat to their neighbors, when Ala bama has, for their misdeeds, iiidignently hurled hem from her borders." ill ! 1 1 A. gentleman arrived . in thisj city on Saturday evening last, from St. Augustine, informs us, that intelligence had been received, at that place from Fort King, 'stating that the Indians were putting Jo death. all their children under two years of age, meaning thereby to rid themselves of all incum brances for a future desperate struggle ; also that they were making corn in more than ordinary quan tities, which the negroes were! made to work very hard under a guard of seqlinehi. JL i v l ' This intelligence was received from a friendly Squaw taken prisoner, who had -escaped frpm the hostile Indians. Charleston Mercury' 1 BATURD1Y MORNING, JUNE 4, 1836. I, . (r The speech of the Hon! jA. H. Shepperd, occupies a considerable portion of our colupins to' day, . Let i not its length discourage our readers from attentively perusing this development c'f hid den facts, which never befoie have been disclosed. The Arsenal, The bill for the establishment of an Arsenal of Construction, in Fayetteville. in this State, has passed the House of Representatives, and doubtless will also pass the Senate. Aj complimentary dinner was given on the 7th ultimo, in Baltimore, to Ilenry S. Fox, Esq., the new Envoy from Great Britain. Mr. Madison. We regret to see it stated that this venerable and illustrious man is much indis- posed. Naval Apprentices.- A proposition is before Congress for introducing into the sea service of the United States, a system of naval apprenticeship. Where has the Northern Mail been ? The South ern stage arrived on Thursday iiight, bringing the northern hiail due on Saturday last, but ho papers further south than Cheraw. Look-out, Postmasters ! Ill umina'ion. Knoxv ille, Tenn., was illuminat. ed on the night of the 17th ultimo, in consequence of the glorious news from Texas.' The Register gays:- : t x f ; "The time for illuminating was announced bv the firing of cannon, when, in a moment, as if by magic, erery window gave a brilliant and tasteful display of the common joy. The military paraded the streets and were accompanied by a large portion of our citizens.) The ladies loo, who are slander ously said to look best by candle light, were to be seen in joyous groupes, promenading the streets, giving countenance to a cause so worthy of their approbation. V4 White, Meeting. On Monday! of the late Coun ty Court, held for the county of Rockingham a meeting was held in the Court-House at Wentworth. approving of the nomination of Hugh L. . White as President, a'nd John Tyler -as; Vice President of the United States, and also approving of the nom ination of Judge Settle as the! White EIec or this District. Capt. James Dilliard presiaea as Chairman, and Maj. A. 3 Holderby and John; L. Leseur, Esq., acted as Secretarjes. . The meeting ,was addressed by Mr. Leseur, and Robert Martin, Esqrs, Rawley Galloway White meetings have been. held in 44 counties. " frirThe proceedings of Congress are omitted, because they are not very interesting. I Death of Mr. Livingston. The New York pa pers announce the, death of the Hon. Edward Liv ingston, our late Minister to France. He died on the 21st ultimo, at his seat in New York, in the 72 year-of his age. Mr. Livingston1 had filled during his life, many important and conspicuous public sta tions. His codes .of Law and practice reflect honor. and respect onhis memory for ages to come.! ' His death was hastened by drinking cold! water while heated. Indian War. The hews from he Creek ari Florida War is distressing. We have made extract of the most interesting news, which1 ; will be foun in preceding columns. The scene at Columbus, G is represented as heart-rending beyond, description Thousands have fled to that place for protection- families have been separated in their flight, and it isj not uncommon to see huslands searching for their Public Execution.- John Calhoon; who was sen tended, at the recent term of the Superior Court for this county, (Guilford) to be hanged for the murder of his wife, was, executed at this place on Saturday last. -Notwithstanding the incessant rain on that day, there was a great concourse of 'people crowd ing around the cart and the gallows, to see the mur derer's last sad day of lire. GreensborougKPai. NEW YORK MARKET, May 18. ; The news from Europe has produced utter inac tion in cotton, and .extensive sales could not be ef fected without a considerable decline. Gen. Clinth;---Wc see it stated, that in conse quence of not conceiving himself properly treated in relation to his rank, Gen. Clinch, who is consid ered the best officer in Florida, and a first rate In dian fighter, a short time since resigned his com mission the acceptance of which however, has been declined by the President. It is most unfor tunate for the country that Gen. Clinch's sugges tions were not attended lb, and an adequate milita ry force placed at his disposal. Had kthis been done, the tranquility o th6 nation would never have been disturbed. Gen. C. is a brave mar. and a practical man, and we feel proud in acknowledging him as a North Carolinian. Ral. Reg. A bill has passed both Houses of Congress, and will doubtless be approved by the President, assu ming the debt now due by the three cities of the District of Columbia, amounting Jo a nillionand a half of dollars, receiving in trust, towards its even tual extinction, the stock belonging to those cities in the Chesapeake and Ohiocanal, which the mon ey was borrowed to pay for. ib. wives, husbands for their wives,' and both for thei chddren.

The Carolina Beacon, a family jriewspaper, published ' at Greensborough, in this Rtathv Messrs. Zevelu Sr' West, has iust made its appearance.'

The article of any quality, yet b ars a s pi ice which renders it profitable to the planter. Fine tobacco is in demand, aud will bring extravagant prices. Danville Obs. Cherokee Treaty. It is stated in the Globe of yesterday, that the Senate have ratified this treaty whichtipulates, "we believe,! some six or seven millions of dollars to the Chcrokees-as an induce Vnent to the reliiiquishinent of their lands in Georgia, and to their removal west of the'Missis sippi. . We are authorised to state that the departure of several detachments of the Marine Corps for the South is in consequence of a voluntary offer f the commandant of that corps to the president of the U. S., to lead his corps to the scene of action in Ala hama. It is one of the valuable J qualities of thi corps, that it is equally effective for sea and land service. iSat. Int. I; Some idea mav be formed of the rapidly increas ing importance of the commerce of our inland seas , bv the tact, announced in the Buna b papers, of the launch pf an elegant ship of 3U0 tons, from Grand Island, on Tuesday last.

B her the edi tors are put in possession of the jfifes of Liverpool papers to the lathi ,j j 0 rhe most important intelligence is, lha the Brit ish ministry was about taking rkcideti stanW in favor of the Quee of Spain. Lord, Melbourne, iii the House of Lores, had distinctly! stated that the letters of Loid J. Ha?, .to. Grn. Cordova, announ cing the interferon: of the British in i the affairs of bjam, were authentic. At Portsmouth the most active measures were in ppgressao give succor to A Better Currency.

We are told also, bv a genueman just frm iNew Orrerins, that he paid in the city of New Oneans-G per cent. premium for notes of the bank of thaU. States, and that he understood they bore i like premium Ihroughout the whole Valley of thfe Mississippi, and we have seen a lettejr from Nashvllp, in whichjihc writer says, any quantity of United Stales bank notes could be sold at a premiums of five per centV These are truly appa ling facts. Knoville, (TeLn.) Mav 25. Singular Casually, -k correso)ndent at Taze- well, cornmunicatesjo us the following extra ordinary and distressing intelltgence. While Mr. William V alker, at Speedvell,CIaibqurrie county, an elderly gentleman,; was making a lence, he discovered a large spider, which he killed wjth a stone. In alter wards prosecuting hisvork, he had occasion to ifadle the same stone.. A mortification shortly afterwards commenced in his hand and increased until it produced his death in 8 or lOe days. At the time he. handled the tone, lie had a slight sore on his hand in which the mortification afterwards commenced, whlcli vyas supposed to have come in contact with some poisonous matter from the spider left on!tl(e stone. Dr. VVjIliam lloirers, whoattended) Mr. Walker, and who also had a sore finder, died with a mortification, in four days-aftef it was first dis covered that hisf finger was affected. Our correspondent further informs jus that a num ber of those who assisted in paying out Mr. Walker have beerr seriously afflictedsome are now very low, but on It the two deaths above mentioned had taken place. -Register.
