MOUE INDIAN NI URDEIN.-WC aro in debted to the editor of the Savannah Geor gian, for the following extra from that office, under date of the 27th ult. detailing the particulars of the following most daring and atrocious murder.; recently committed by bands of Indians on the borders of Georgia: JEFFER&ONTON, Camden co., Ga. August 24th, 1840. To the Editor of the Savannah Georgian: DEAR Sin: You will please publish such portions of the enclosed letters as relate to the hostility and movements of the savages, fur the information of the community at large. and oblige respectfully yours, GEO. LANG, P. M. Jeffersonton. CF:NTREVILLAGH, Aug. 19,1840 DEAR GEORGE: I am sorry to inform you thnt the Indians have done a good deal of mischiefon the Suwany, and it is thought that they have again come into the ()Ala noire; last Friday they killed Joseph How ard's wife and two children, and Daniel Green's wife, and shot his daughter through the shoulder. They have robbed and burnt out the inhabitants as they went, beginning at Green's.. They have burnt nearly all the dwellings up to Fort Gilmer. Joseph Howard and Geor g e Johns got in hero to day; they followed them up the Suwany several miles, and found eleven dwellings burnt. They are all forted in at old Bill Cone's and Capt. Sande' lain's. The Indi ans fired on Sanderlain's house all night on FridtjY night. The next morning they took tho road up the river, and only went five or six miles, (to old Sumara!l's place,) killed some hogs and cattle, and stayed al: night. This is the most bold and daring act they have committed since the com mencement of the war. The l eople above this are generally very much alarmed, and some of them arc already moving oftwheth er with sufficient cause. I cannot say. Ab salom Cow. ey's children (six in number) were killed last Wednesday on the south prong of the St. Mary's; some suppose by the same party. I have nothing more worth your attention at present. I remain yours, most truly, STEPHEN McCALL. GOOUGE LAND, Esq. P. S. Thomas Wright is burnt out amongst the'rest. CENTREVILLAGE, Aug. 23, 1840. DEAR GEORGE: All is excitement and alarm up this way. The Indians have kil led Thomas Davis and two of his children, and John Patrick's wife. They had all gathered together at Arch Hog an's, (Nlo nia,) and on Wednesday, just aout night fall, they attacked the place and killed the above persons, and burned every building on the place, except the onn that they de fended. They have burnt Davis's place and 51inoy's and one other in this county. It is about thirty miles from here. I do not think we aro in danger hero as yet, though others think differently. There is a part of two companies of dragoons from Black Creek already scouring about. the Okefanoke, and Tracy is trying to raise fifty men for thirty day, under an order from General C. Floyd. What will bo the final tssuo, time only will show. 111 think there is any danger hero, I shalt at once take my family away. Yours, in haste, STEPHEN McCALL. GEORGE LANG, Esq. 0.•••••• ANOTHER STONER.—John Spencer, re ceiver at Fort Wayne, Indiana, has recent. ly become a signer . of the loco-foco "declar ation" to the tune of $37,000 of the people's money. The Government can well exclaim "the work goes bravely on," and the num• bar of the signers will ere long reach an immense extent. We shall not be able to enumerate them much longer—they will have to be measured by the yard before the sub treasury gels into active operation yet, and after that by the bushel!—Old Guard. A COUPLE OF "OLD GRANNIES."—The following anecdote is related of "old Gran. ny Wayne:" The British in the days of the revolution were in the habit of calling General Wayne "Granny." At the storming ofStony Point, Old Mad Anthony was the third roan that entered the breach. Ho was mot by a Brit ish Grenadier, who inquired, "Who are you?" Old Mad Anthony levelled him With the ground, exclaiming—"l am Granny Wayne, and by G—d, sir, I intend to dollw or this fortress in about fivo minutes." The pupil of Mad Anthony, "Old Gran ny Harrison," has been stigmatised in the same way by the tories of our day. The Old Granny of 1840, intends to deliver our country from the bane of Loco•focoism on the 4th of March next, as old Granny Wayne did the foitress above alluded to of the red coats and India:lo-01d Guard. DESTRUCTIVE - AVALANCHE.—Tho New Orleans Bee of the 24th says:—A destruc- tive land slide occured on Saturday after noon at about 3 o'clock, between Conti and St. Louis streets. The whole of the alluvi al deposits in front of that part of the city, together with a part of the old levee, gave way, carrj ing with it the Bayou Sara wharf, which was completely destroyed, and the adjoining one was likeivise very much in jured.,-There was some sugar and other produce on the wharf at the time of the ac cident, which was naturally swept away.— There are now 'six fathoms of water on the spot where this occurrence took place. At this present moment, the wharves extend mg from Conti street to St. Peter street, are G. WA.OZINGTOII BOWEN, =TOP. & PROPRIETOR. "The liberty to know, to utter, and to argue, freely; to above all other liberties.”—Mazon. in a most miserable condition, some of them being entirely destroyed, and the others more or less in need of heavy repairs. To guard against the immense expense brought about by these annual occurrences, would it not be advisable to take into con sideration the practicability of es4ablishing floating wharves? TRH U. S. SENATE.-110 New York American gives a list of the U. S. Senators soon to be elected, and observes:— "Of the vacancies caused by the expira tion of terms, Harrison will, no doubt gain 1 in Virginia, vice Mr. Roane-1 in Lou isiana, vice Mr. Nicholas-1 in Michigan, vice Mr. Norvoll—end 1 in New Jersey. vice Mr. Wall—the Legislatures of these States being now Harrison. Making 4 gains, which would give Van Buren 24, and Harrison 28, in the Senate, if the Whigs whose terms expire should all be re-elected. We may luso 1. vice Mr. Ruggles in Maine; and we expect to gain 1. vice Mr. Lumpkin, in Georgia; and 1, vice Mr. Anderson in Tennessee, arid possibly 1 in Mississippi, vice Mr. Walker, which would give us a majority of 8, or 30 to 22, wherewith to be• gin the Administration of Gen. Harrison." TAXATION! TAXATION!--lIOW very quiet all tho friends of Gov. Porter are on the sub ject of the Tax Bill! Were it not for the Harrison papers, the people of Pennsylva nia, would not know that a TAX DILL WAS PASSED BY A LOCO FOCO Lgcrsrazunc last winter, although the Journals are-with-held, during the Presidential canvass! But it is so; and let but the 30th October pass, and we will find the assessor looking at the far mer's stock of cattle, and the mechanic's furniture—the family watch top will be tax cd—your farms, the little money you have acquired by industry and placed in security; must be annually sliced of to pay the office holders, and that too, in gold and silver, 'which will probably be worth 15 or 20 per cent. premium then! Look at these things, voters of the Keystone; and speak your con demnation at the ballot boxes!.—ilur. Tel. MURDEII OW THE DELAwAßE.—Yester day muining the following particulars rela- tive to a most horrid murder, supposed to have taken place on Tuesday night, on board the schooner Oread, of Eastpoit, Maine, Captain . Benjamin Reynolds, was made kuown to the Mayor. The schooner was at anchor in the Delaware, opposite Frankford Creek, about six miles from the city. On Tuesday night the captain and mate went to their berths, leaving ono hand, named Aaron Cross, a boy named Benjamin Primo and a black cook named James Mar ris, on deck. The supposition is that some time during the night tl a negro fell upon Cross, kited him, and threw him over board. Part of the side of the schooner, near the bows, and the deck forward was covered with blood. An axe was also found on deck, smeared with blood, with which it is supposed the unfortunate Cross met his death. The boy Prime stoles that during the night he heard a scuffle on deck; that going up the forecastle hatchway he re ceived a blow on the head with nn axe, which koncked him backwards and left him insensible. Some time eller, the nogrn came to him, found hewas not dead and told him that it he attempted to move or make a noise he would murder him.—Phaad. North Amer:can. • No CHANGES.—Richard Coulter, for. morly an able and eloquent representative in Congress, from Westinoreland county, Pa., and an original Jackson man, is Presi dent of the Tippecanoe Club, at Greens burg. Westmoreland county has hereto fore given very heavy Jackson Van Buren majorities. But the subjoined vote of a grand jury, as given in thelast Greensburg Intelligencer, is certainly indication of the progress of change in that county. The Intelligencer says—" The Grand Jury, n attendance at the present Term took a vote on the Presidential election. Including the constable, tho vote stood: Harrison 16.—Van Buren 8 AN OLD Ml.—ln the year 1792, Jona than Burns round a land terrapin, on which he marked the letters J. B. with the date. In 1821 the same terrapin was found by . Samuel Bailey on which he marked the name of Jos. S. Bailey. We understand that the same terrapin was again found a few days since by Samuel James, near Stan ton, and is now in the possession of Sam uel Bailey of that place. There was an older mark upon the terrapin, which had become almost defaced by time, and the probability is, that he is not less than one hundred years old, yet our informant states retains his beau ty as much as in his more youthful days.— Wilmington (Del) Gas. A LONG TIIREAD.-At the Polytechnic Institution, Regent street, London, there is exhibited one pound of glass, spun by steam into a thread four thousand miles long, and woven with silk into beautiful dresses and tapestry! , TOALATO TART. -The following was han ded to us by a respectable individual of this place, as a recipe for making tomato tart. Roll out your dough very thin, and place it on the elate in which you intend baking your tart, and slice your tomatoes very thin, spread them over the dough very thinly, then take about two table spoons full of brown sugar, end ono of ground cinnamon bark, spread the two over the to:natoes,bake it well, and you will have a delightful tart.— Yorkville Republican. • --..e 0 e 5.....— EXCEMIVE TIIIRBT•—The man spoken of in the subjoined article, (which we find in the Boston Medical and Surgical Journal of this week,) is, most decidedly the "drtiest customer" we ever before read or heard of: A passenger on board the steamer Gen eral Lincoln, last week, by the name of James Webb, who resides, ut Fairhaven, spoke very freely upon the subject of his excessive thirst—which has in no way di minished since his earliest recollection.— le mentioned, incidentally, that he was 46 years of age, and from childhood to the pre sent day he has swallowed at the average rate of six gallons of water exery 24 hours! Capt. Beals, the commander of the boat, be sides several other persons on board who had formerly known him •ns a resident of Hingham, very distinctly recollected the talk that this enormous consumption of cold water used to make in the neighborhood; and they all, moreover, agreed in saying that Mr. Webb was a man of strict veraci ty. This anti hydrophobist is a 'Short, rath er muscular man, with a yellowish skin, has uniformly enjoyed excelletit health, and believes that he always shall, so long as he can obtain water. A physician, now reti red fiocn practice, who was also a passen ger, remembered how marvellous this case was considered, in his early professional life. On being questioned, particularly with regard to some physiological points, the subject of these remarks said that ho rarely perspired, but it seemed to him that all the water he drank passed off rapidly by the bladder Ile invariably 'tae several gallons of water by the side of his bed to quench this raging thirst through the night —and if, by any means, the usual quantity were withheld, it would be impossible for him to sleep. By abstaining from copious draughts beyond the accustomed period, the tongue : becomes dry and shrivelled, the mouth parched, and words cannot be artic ulated. There is also a sensation of extreme heat in the stomach and head. Will some of our learned correspondents explain to us the probable necessity for such an immense volume of water in this man's stomach? CONTAGION CONVEYED n A LETTER. — The Au i tast No. of the American Journal of the Medical Sciences relates a singnlar instance of small pox contagion. Mr. Rob. ert Atkinson of Lancaster, Pa. was seized with the small pox in December last, and af ter pkssinfr through a severe sickness with the di:Tase, •recovered. After his recovery he wrote a loiter to his brother,Richard At kinson of Wellsville, Ohio, giving an account of his sickness. The letter was written on glazed paper and sealed with a wafer in the usual manner. Being detained on the road by the great snows which fell about that ti m e, it did not reach Wellsville until two or three weeks after it was written. After receiving the letter, Mr Richard Atkinson opened it, and carried it in his vest pocket for several days. About one month afterwards he was taken sick with the small pox and died. There had been no cases at Wells ville or near that place for two years, and no other cause of its introduction could be as signed than the letter from Lancaster. TAPPING.—An old toper, in the last sta ges ofthe dropsy, was told by his physician that nothing would save him but 'being tap ped. His son (a witty little shaver) objec ted to this operation, saying, 'Daddy, daddy, don't submit to it; fur you know there was never any thing tapped in our house that las ted more than a week." CURE FOR CORNS.--Corns may be cured by binding on them at night a piece of sponge moistened in a weak solution of pearlash. The skin may be brushed of in the morning, having been dissolved by the action of the caustic. latsu Wm—A genuine "son of the sod" came into our office the other day, and ask. ed the price of advertising for a situation. The price we told him would be one dollar for three insertions and one dollar and sev enty five cents for sir. "A dollar," said he, scratching his pato, "for the first thrae times, and thrae quarters for the last thrae; well, thin my darling, faith an we'll have it in the last thrae."—Sun. ..arbe 0 SSW.. ASHES Fos FRUIT TREES.--A sprightly gentleman, of more than "three score and ten," with alert step and quick eye from observation told us last Saturday, that he had known a man make and preserve in a flourishing productive condition, an orchard ofapple trees,on originally very poor ground, by every year sprinkling around each tree, to the circumference of the extent. of its branches, half a bushel of ashes. Our friend, Dr. Palmer. administers strong doses in his Whig Republican.— Some of his prescriptions are equal to those of tho Ailas.—Boston Post.

[CONTINUED.) Among the "official vouchers" before me, find one which testifies that Mr. Van Bu. ren, during the administration of General Jackson, was sometimes disposed to gratify his love for rich candlesticks, by acting as caterer for palace furniture: Voucher No. 0. "Bought at auction for the use of the President's house, May 30, 1831: "To chintz covered sofa, $6O 00 "2 plated candlesticks, 20 00 • 880 00 "Received payment, Juno 7, 1831. VAN BUREN. But I must present you, Mr. Chairman, with some other articles ofdomocratic fur. niture within the palace. What do you opine of the following specimens—they wore all purchased ..by the plain, republican re formers, from Messrs. Lewis Veron &Cm 2 sets of green tea trays, real gold leaves, 5 in each sat, $7O 00 Ornamental rays over the door, 25 00 7 dozen gilt stars, 17 50 4 pier tables v. ith Italian slabs, 700 00 I round table, blue and gold slab large, - 135 00 2 do. dn. do. 100 00 4 bronzed and steel fenders, ' , new style," 120 00 24 arm chairs and 4 sofas, stuffed and covered, mahogany work, entirely refinished, and cotton covers, 600 00 Can you tell me, sir, in what age of the world it was that real genuine, plain hard handed locofocos first placed Golden Rays over their doors, and bedecked their sa loons with golden stars? I think it was about the time of that great exemplar of lo cofoco democracy, Nebuchadnezzar. What do you think, sir, of the democratic rose. wood Piano Forte (octaves) at the palace, got in exchange for a mahogany one, by payinff two hundred dollars of the People's cash for boot money? I will now direct the attention of the committee to another department of the President's revenues,which I consider high ly objectionable. I refer, sir, to the linens, towels, tablecloths &c. bought with the People's cash for the use of the palace. in this department there appears to have been no bounds to extravagance. What will the head of any household in America think of expending for such articles, at one store, within the short period of ten months, the sum of twentrfour hundred and sixty dol lars and twenty-nine cents? The bills for this expenditure on my desk are entirely too long to take up the time of the committee in reading them; but 1 have prepared and will submit the following abstract: Huckaback towels, Irish linens, Ticklen berg, Damask diapers, table cloths, Irish sheeting, Mars Quilts, flushing, green gauze, slip thread, spools, cotton, tapes, and other dry goods, purchased for the use of the Pres. ident's house, at the store of Darius Clagett, Washington, from the 17th of March, 1837, to the 19th January, 1838, $2,460 29 Contained in three several bills, viz. 1. Dated 15th March, 1827, and paid 27th May, 1837, $7l 33 2. From the 17th April, 1837, till 2d June, 1837, $1,064 80 To this account is appended the following order and receipt: , "Juno 23, 1837. Ma or Smith bill please to pay the above account for artic les purchased for the President's house. A. VAN BUREN." "Received'of Thomas L. Smith the with in bill in full.' June 24, 1837. R. B.

CLAGETT." Endorsed: MAJOR VAN BUREN, at President's house. Will it not, sir, amaze the frugal house. keepers of the United States to learn that the President should have considered it no. cessary to replace or repair the stock of linens on band and than in use at the pal. ace, by adding thereto the purchase of $2,- 480 29 in ten months? Why, sir, a plain, republican locofoco may almost be induced to believe that Mr. Van Buren, at that pe riod, had some half dozen daughters, who had been made happy by good husbands, and that they were all about being furnished wih splendid outfits from the paternal man• sion. This subject is so well understood by the country that I shall not longer dwell up- , on it. I will, however, remark, that it ap pears from the vouchers last presented, ag well as from others now before me, that Mr. Abraham Van Buren, one of the sons of the President, was frequently engaged in purchasing supplies of "furniture" for tho palace. Some articles of palace furniture have been procured through Mr. Noland and others; but the principal agent, appoin• ted by the President to take charge over this branch of the public service was T. L. Smith, Esq• as the following "official vouch er" will abundantly manifest. Voucher No. 32, in abstract No. 1.
