(O.We give below a few extracts from (lam ent papers, respecting the course pursued by those traitorous sheets, the Harrisburgh "Intelligencer" and '.Democrat"—from which it will he perceived, that their conduct oxci s the severest condemna tion,,whilst hut littloiet is 'felb at their going over to the Lodge. HARRISBURGII INTELL : NCER. From the Lancaster Herold &Trainer. The editor of the liarrishordil gencer--hitherto a supporter orlittie pre• sent administration—takes Governor !timer severely to task for having dared to express his opinions, wjth the freedom b“comin ,, the Chief Magistrate of a flee people, neon the, subject of Slavery. Has the editor of 'the Intelligencer forgotten the numerous documents that were received froin . the Ex• cutive or other States inviting his attention to the subject during the hst winter? Does he not' recollect that one ifnot more of them lied the impudence to ask the Legislature of 'Vile State to pass a ldw making it penal for hei,oWtteitizens to write and print their thoughts fie all absorbing question? Does he n that: !gra Buchanan, one of the Sen from this State, voted in favor of the to establish a censorship over the Tress, and to take from the people the dearest of alrliuman rights—we mean the right of thinking and speaking ns they pleased upon this as upon all other subjects? And would the Intelligent:or have the Go vernor to smother - the honest indignation which must be excited in the bosom of every freeman, by this "base bowing of the knee to the dark spirit of Slavery," through the fear of wounding the sensitive ears of the slaveholders - of the 'S;ith? HaVe the citi zens of the South ever regarded our feelings upon the subject? Have they not, time af ter time, scattered a-nong the people of the north. documents maintaining their right to hold thousands of then fellow men in a state of worse than Egyptian bondage, and denouncing every man who dared to , rise hiti voice in opposition to "the dark spirit of Slavery?" If they expect us. to regard their feelings upon this subject, why are they so ready to outrage ours? The latelligencer fears that the language of Gov. Rimer may have a tendency to in jure Gen. Harrison in the Southern States. Suppose such should be the case, and what will it amount to? What has the South ever done for Gen. Harrison? What did the South do for Gen. Harrison at the last election? Did he receive a single electoral vote South of the Potomac? No, not one. And yet in a vain endeavor to conciliate the South, the Intelligencer is willing to drive from support of Gen. Harrison,the citi zens of the free States, the very States which have given him their electoral votes! We are not "abolitionists" in tfea present acceptation of the term, and we disapprove of the conduct of many of those who are of that class. .But we are opposed to Slavery. We believe it to be at war with the very principles upon which this . government was established—a palpable contradiction of t that portion of the Declaration of Independence, which declares all men to be born free and equal—and we are not willing to relinquish a right to speak of the "enormity of the Wrong," whenever and as often as we may deem necessary and proper. We shall maintain inviolate the liberty of the press and of speech, let the consequences be what they may. The 'Beim will scarcely be worth preserving, if thetie , our dearest and most valued rights are to be taken from us to "conciliate the South." Governer Rit• ner expressly disclaims all right to interfere with slavery in the South in any other than a lawful and peaceable and constitutional manner. l ife gives his opinions upon the subject of Slavery with the same freedom that. he uses upon other topics, and without any desire to do violence to the feelings of the ',South; and we cannot see how any man with Pennsylvania feelings can find fault With the course which ho has taken upon the subject. From the same paper Entertaining as we do, personally, to wards the editor of the liarrisburgh Intel. ligencer, feelings of the most kindly nature, we cannot but regret that he should pursue a course calculated to brio.; him into col hero with those who hive been and would yet like to be his friends. It does seem to us that his remarks in relation to Gov. Rit ner, have of late been unnecessarily and un justifiably severe—not warranted by any thing contained in the message of the Go. vernor.-----and calculated to distract and di vide the party at whose hands • Mr. Strong, has already received many favors, and whose welfare he professes to have so much at heart. We must say—and we do it more iti sorrow than in anger—that to us, at a dis • tame, his course seems to he the result more of personal pique than a desire to pro mote the public goad, and calculated to in jure him greatly in the estimation of the friends of the present State kdministrationi We cannot expect perfection in any execu tive, though we do think that Governor hit ner's public acts have approached as near the standard as could reasonably have been expected by the warmest of his friends. • INTELLIGENCEIt & DEMOCRAT. ..from the Harrisburgh Telegraph. The "spies" and "traitors" of the Intelli• genCer and Pirate,for the two are but branch es of the same concern, are now out in full opposition to the State Administration, van. Tying the maxim "that one renegade is worse than two Turks;" they are as . bitter pogrom but a short time ago they were sweet and s fawning. _The character oldie Intelli• • gencer w. well known. Its present editor hasnever pursued a strait forward course for two years at a tine, and an honest course he hag never found Since his fortunate escape From Masaachusetts,his intellect has beep watiderittg, though physically he has Sint +aided, ar.any rate, in ttto directiou of WS old home tut a short two yeartago, he was in fa- I vor of a National Convention to nominate candidates 14 President and Vice President, in view of the then approaching Baltimore Convention, and preparatory to a sornerset into the ranks of the party he has an often called "torics." But, that party finding that his services would not be worth the thirty piecrs of silver, and distrusting him as a traitor, refused any cohabitation with him; tliou;711 they did hire him to do the dirty work of applamling the measure; rif Goyer nor Wolf. tie did then come out in favor of the sehoel law, spoke of his dear New England, and the benefit she derived from learning her sons to read and write, and a bused, out raaeonsly, some of our best Ger man citizens, residing in the upper part of the county, because they opposed that law. Now, he is opposed to the school law,and abuses this administration beeriest: it will at tempt to perfect the system. This has been his course in relation to these two subjects. He is nlw opposed to free discuision,and is getting up mobs to put it down—but should it present a field for the work of his hypo critical demagogueism, he will immediately curse that cause with his support. Ile is Jimus.faced in polities and morals, and no administration can trust him. His sinister hand. is the Pirate, a paper got up by a few individuals of the same kidney, without means, manners or morals, to destroy the cause of Anti- llasonry. To do this more efiiictually,a tool was taken from the Chroni cle office; a dolt who can never he suspec. ted of perpetrating a line of prose or poetry, to stand sponger for the effusions of Strong and his clique. They put the word "ANTI :VIASON IC " to the title of his paper to deceive the unwary, and that is the only indication it has ever given of its principles. Those two papers, for a few months, pre tended friendship to our party, and to sup port the administration: but their designs are now seen in time,to destroy their treach erous efforts. They have left the party— good riddance—and the party and the peo ple may now regard them as opponents of the administration. Their catering fin the Keystone and Reporter will now be unavail ing. THE HARRISBURGH JUNTO. From the Wilkesriarre Advocate. Th. .lunto of malignants—llasons,Jacks, and recreant Anti• Masons, at Harrisburgh, who cluster around the "Pirate" fidsely called the Anti• Masonic State Democrat, men who are all bankrupts in character, and some of them of infamous reputation, have at length come out in violent opposition to Joseph Ritner, and shower their calum nious abuse upon him in no measured terms. We are glad to see this: their support would damn any public character with honest and honourable men. Their first object of abuse was Thaddeus Stevens —nom it is Joseph Ritner; could they not be persuaded to op pose Harrison? We know nothing which would tend more to his advantage than to be rid of their blasting support. We confess we ourselves feel seine reluctance to fight in the same ranks with such banditti and pirates; that the cause should be judged by its own merits, and not by those who advo cate it. In conclusion let us warn all true Anti-Masons to "beware of the pirates!" From the Pennsylvania Telegraph OUT Al' LAST. In Strong's last Pirate,in an article head ed "Abolition 111 Pennsylvania." the ground is at length broken against Governor Itit. ner's administration, though no earthquake marked the event. The lying flag of amity is pulled down' nd the black banner boldly run up to the mast. He impudently pro poses to the Democratic Anti-Mnsonic par ty!!! (i. e. Strong in the Pirate proposes,) the propriety "of changing the magistrates themselves (viz. Gov. Ritner!) the first op. portunity afforded by the constitution."— Jdst look there now? Strong who was a Clay man, then a Van Buren man, and now blasts General Harrison with his support.— Strong, who was always opposed to Gover nor-Ritner in heart—who offered himself to the Mulilenberg party, and who had the impudence to dictate to Governor Ritner in the appointment of his Cab;net—and who from the moment that he did not succeed in his dictation swore vengeance, Strong, through Clark, who fathers the filth of the Pirate, gravely tells the Anti-Masonic par ty that they must change their Governor!! And for what? Becau.e, forsooth, he has "departed from old land marks"—(Land marks! we always thought he knew more of the slang of the craft than could be at.. tamed by one not initiated.) But'lwhere ate the "Land marks" that have been de parted from? Why, the offence is no less than opening the statute book and journals of the Legislature, from 1780 down to the present day, and exhibiting to the people what were and nro the principles of this state on the subject of Slavery, and saying to them, "while we admit and scrupulously respect the constitutional rights of other states on this momentous subject, let us not, either by fear or interest, be driven from aught oftliat spirit of independence antlvene ration for freedom which has ever.cliarac terizod our beloved Commonwealth." This is gravely announced to Anti-Masonic, Democrat ic,free Pennsylvania,as a “preacli ipg of new doctrines and a departure from ancient land marks." Good—very good. We owed our readers some holyday sport, and here they have it. If it does not make them laugh, we know not what will. Strong of the Intelligencer, is out against a general system of education, and abuses the Governor for recommending an appro priation of• half a million of the surplus re venue—the peoples own money—=to build School houses. We are not astonished at the opposition of Strong to Education. He has 1;3It the evils alt. - If he had not receiv ed so much, he would not, have been obliged to leave the place of his . nativity in such a hurry. The evils of edui - ition must haunt himwhonever he looks towards the land he left, in his flight. • Before one year goes round Strong will be, as he was two years ago, the ',mint tool of Von Buren: and long after his Barrisoo • ' ism will be forgotten, or only remembered as the single approximation he ever made to honesty, the antimasons whom be- now abuses, and those whom he seeks to miss lead, will Ire the .only, adhering and true friends of the Ohio Farmer, in this state. From the Philadelphia Inquirer State Politics. The American Sentinel, is endeavouring to make the impression that the State ad ministration is becoming unpopular—that many of thot•o who supported Gov. Ritner with warmth and. energy, are abandoning hun. Nothing could be further from the fact. The State administration was never more popular than at this moment—hun• deeds, nay thousan Is of those who opposed the Governor at the last contest, approve of his measures and principles as developed in his off :ial acts, avowed in his message to the Legislature, and. are prepared to stand by him now. It is true, that one paper, the Harrisburg)) Intelligencer—whia supper. ted him at the last contest, has within the last fortnight pursued a course that has ex cited the surprise as well as the regret of those who wish well to its editor. Its move• merit against the state administration—if we arc so to consider its recent articles, has nut been responded to by a single Whig or Ami• Masonic journal in the State, nor is it likely to be. It would indeed be a suicidal as well as an ungrateful course on the part of the Whigs, to pursue towards the State administration, any other course than that of liberal and honorable support—for surely the - Governor has stood by them in all their important measures—has realized every j a g expectation that could have been enter tained—has proved himself fully and tho. roughly a Pennsylvanian, and a., much op posed to the abominations of the national administration as any man in the common wealth. We contend therefore, that those who supported him because they believed he would stand by the men and the measures, the interests and the institutions of the key stone of the arch, have every reason to be satisfied, or to say the lenst,no cause to turn about and assail him. It is therefore that we are surprised at the course of the Intel li!iencer. We allude to thematter more in regret Than anger, and with the object of healing rather than widening any trifling difficulty that may exist. We are aware that there ore a few in our ranks—traitors ir. feeling if not in action— who would rejoice at any course of conduct calculated to work injury to the present ad. ministration, and hence to strengthen Van Burenism. They were baffled at the lost contest, and will be baffled again, unless the wiser, more discreet, more patriotic of those who really wish well to Pennsylvania, play into their hands, by getting up a division on mere personal or unimportant grounds, not at all connected with the great interests and principles which should be dear to us all. The fact that the conduct of the Intelli• gencer has not been responded to by a single Whig journal in the State will,we trust,con• vince• its editor of the .impropriety of his course and induce him to change it. We have not met with a single individual in this community, known to be unequivocal and hottest in support of the State Administra. lion, who approves of that course, and we hove alluded to the matter in this formal manner, fearful that a longer silence upon the subject, together with the assertions of the enemy, might induce our friends inother parts of the State to believe that the intelli gencer's conduct in the matter adverted to met with the approval of the Whigs of Phila. delphia. They were never as a body more united in political sentiment and feeling— never entertained warmer sentiments to- wards Joseph Ritner. With thes^ remarks, we close the subject for the present, and trust that we shall not again have occasion to advert to it. Our desire is to promote union and harmony—to keep together all who acted with us at the last contest, as well as to bring over converts from the enemy. [Communicated. Meeting of the adapts County Society. SATURDAY, January 1,4, 1837 In accordance with the resolution passed at their last meeting, the Society convened in the Peters burgh Academy. The President (JAS. McAws- TER, Esq.) took the chair and called the house to order. The minutes of the lust meeting were then read. Agreeably to Art. X. of the constitution, Mr. War gave notice that he would, at the next meeting move to amend the Constitution by adding the following: Art. Xl. No money shall be paid out of the Treasury unless appropriated by a reso lution of Society. One or more resolutions for the appropriation of money may be adopted at any regular meeting of the Society by a majority of the members present." Notice was also given of an amendment to this effect, "The Executive Corn mitteo may expend money in accordance with general resolutions of Society." Resolved, That Messrs. BLANCHARD and Bun- LEIGH be received as advisory members of this So ciety. ! . The following preamble and resolution- were then adopted. Wirmitss, the intellectual and moral improve ment of the people of color is ono of the objects of this Society; and whereas, Intemperance is an eft•ctual hindrance to the improvement of the condition of any people; and whereas, intempc- - rate habits may be formed and confirmed by the use of am kind of alcoholic drink: Therefore Resolved, That the members of this Society do earnestly and affectionately entreat the colored people of Adams County to abstain entirely from every kind of drink containing alcohol. Several thrilling and pertinent addresses were• then delivered upon the relation which Pennsyl vtinia and the North generally bear to Slavery, and the propriety and constitutionality of our course defended. The large assembly of ladies and gen tlemen present appeared to listen to this with the deepest interest.. It was then Resolved, That it is our right and our duty as Pennsylvanians to exert all our influence, not only for the abolition of Slavery in the. District of . Co lumbia, hut also throughout the Union, as we are, under the present constitution of the U. States, boun•l to return the slaves when they escape from bondage and to prevent them frrint asserting what we have most solemnly declared to be their "natu ral and nnalienahle rights"—viz. "liberty 'and the pursuit of happiness." Resolved, That we regard as unfounded slanders upon our institutions all those representations whether made in the North or the South; by which our free l9borers, farmers, and mechanics, are do chord tobe in a condition no better than that of southern slaves. The following gentlemen were then appointed Delegate,s to, the State Anti-Slavery Convention: Joel Wiehitan, Jesse Russel, Adam 'Wert, Chaa. Marlin, Robert W. Middleton, Josiah Benner, Allen Robinette, W. M. Reynolds., and William Wright. Besotted, That the Society meet in the Court- Borate, at Geyysburgli, on the Second Saturday of Mandl next, at one o'clock P. M., and that the Executive Committee procure a suitable p .rson to deliver au address upon the occasion. • Resolved, That these proceedings be published in the different papers of the Borough. An itivitAtion having been given, sundry per sons joined the Society by signing the Constitu tion. MILITARY COURT 01? INQUIRY. Curresi»iolence of the Baltimore chroa . ±. FREDERICK, Jan. 11, 1937. As was surmised, the result of the recent secret session of this court is its assent to the remonstrances °Men!. Gaines: In them he insists, in a series of arguments, n;►nn his right to blend his accountability in the Flori• da failures with that of Genl. Scutt, and be come a party to the issue. This was man ifested th:s morning by the suspension of the business of Scott and the taking up of documentary testimony in elucidation of Gaines' participation in the much talked of Campaigns. The latter Gerd. is in excel lent health and as vivacious as any of his juniors. tie is unquestionably n 9 fair a specimen of the easy gentility of the olden time ns one could desire to see; his -deport ment during the whole- of the sitting was that of ono who knows himself seriously wrong ed, but, conscious of innocence, prefers the gradual development of his merits to vain menace and windy declamation. Ins ad dress to the Court was characterised by rea• son, pertinency and very commendable fi►r bearance. lie is somewhat circumlocutory and occasionally erratic in his similes, but hislienignity and dignified preciseness atone for a thousand faults. "Whatever nrrors to his rams mny Look at lho man and you'll target thorn all." Of the two aides of Genl. Gaines Capt. Hitchcock is the most familiar to our coun• hymen. He it was who gave the Quarter master, Genl. Jessup, such a concise lesson on Military etiquette in the commencement of that worthy's interference with his bet• ters. The captain was the bearer of the Stars and Stripes to the camp of Santa An ea, arid intimated to that personage the im portance of non intervention, T.Czc. His satisfiletory performance ofevery duty hith• erto assigned him attracted the attention of the American Colonization Society and the Governorship of Liberia was oflhred him, but long familiarity with military lire, and and the high value placed upon his services by his brethren-in-arms have induced him to forego the honorable trust—Capt. Mc. Call, another aide of Genl. Gaines, bears the impress of a soldier and man of business, and is known to your readers ns the author of a paper in the New Orleans Bulletin, the tenor of which so offended Gent. Scott, and drew from him on a termer occasion the expression of language which in his cooler moments lam sure he deprecated. "If the Court" said the Genl. "conceives the Capt. so green as to need instruction they are at liberty to bestow it." The Captain's un equivocal reply to the question 'obviated the necessity of a discussion on the sub ject. • On the opening of the Court Major Gen. Gaines addressed it in nearly the following words: "Mr. President and gentlemen of the Court, I propose to show that the order, giving me the command of the Western Department of the army, was sufficient to justify my movements in Florida. It was as much incumbent on me to relieve that frontier as it was for me to fly to Sackett's Harbour in 1814; to the shores of Niagara, and take command of the force there, dur ing the invalided condition of the gallant Brown. Sir, I thought it my duty to check the Seminole and to afford the Floridians that security to which, as citizens, they were entitled and which the Constitution of the United• States guarantees to all who live within its influence, and I did afford them that protection, Sir. By these remarks 1 desire to show the similarity of the circum stances which governed me in both cases (here the Court suggested to the General the expediency of deferring further remarks until the Judge Advocate had concluded the reading of the documentary testimony giv en in his case.) General Gaines. "It is far from my purpose, Sir, to retard the business of the Court, but I think that the remarks I was about to oiler would at this time be appro priate." "Yes General, said the President, "we had better begin with the documentary testimony on the part of the government.'" "Perhaps so" said Gen. Gaines. "The in- 1 qyiry- will then be confined to its proper limits; it will curtail explanations and nar row clown the subject." Orders No's. 65 and 68 from the Wur Department were then read by the Judge Advocate. They refer, as your renders know, to the causes of the failure of the Florida Campaigns and the unauthorised appearance in print certain orders addressed to Gen. Gaines. (The General here resumed his address.) "It so happened, may it please the Court, that the orders to join the gallant Brown did not direct me in terms to fire upon an enemy, but to go forthwith to my .post and assume command. I did so. This alone, Sir, was sufficient in the estimation of a soldier to justify him in doing every thing to check the enemy and avail himself of all the re sources-of the frontier to effect the subject of the campaign. The great and good President of that period commended my conduct; Congress awarded me its vote of approbation,' the approval of my country was bestowed upon me, hut I do not think, because I did my duty then and there, that I should,be excused in all sun Sequent dere lections." "I proceed, now, Sir, to a review of Florida alliiirs; the Jude Advocate will please read the documents having a par ticular relation to the stihject under con— Judge Advocate. "The first letter I have to offer 19 from Major Gen. Gaines to Attit/- tent Genl. Jones, at Washington. In this letter, a succinct statement of the number, character and resources of the Seminoles is given to the Genl. "Ten thousand well equipped men" he writes "would find dif ficulty in conquering these tawny Brigands without the co-operation of a competent naval force." The next paper rend was a requisition OD the Governor of Louisiana, for eight companies denizen soldiers. In speaking of them and their leading Gilimel,r, Twiggs and Laws the General took oc, casion to bestow well merited compliments on Lieut. Col. Lawson, the present very accomplished Surgeon General of tine U. States artny, whose services in the line, in every duty assigned him, were invaluable to his country. "I assure the gallant Louisianians" said the General, "and they assured me, that nothing should separate u in the day and the hour of daneer. The pledge was religiously observed, until orders to turn over my command to another reach ed roe." Other papers were ,read by the Judge Advocate, but their tenor is unim portant in this place—nevertheless they re ceived from Gen Gaines, in the order of their presentation, the proper elucidation. "I was, sir, at the commencement of actual hostilities in Florida, on a tour of inspection of all the posts under any supervision. At Mobile, the intelhgence.of the breve Clinch's rencontre at Withlacnoche first reached roe. I ordered the 4th Infantry and the Louisia• na Volunteers to proceed forthwith to Tam pa Bay, and report to Genl. Clinch or the officer commandir g against the Indians. My desire, sir, was to put an end to the war at once. I assured Clinch of my read iness to co-operation with him. I did not want the dazzling honors of Commander•in chief. "Ilad the President of the United States directed a Corporal to lead tho forces, I trust my patriotism would not have quibbled about rank. I nth accused of a morbid de• site to reap all the laurels acquired by the campaigns in that country,--Laurelsgained in wars with that people, in that country, are not to be prized." . . Several letters addressed by General Gaines to distinguished public men, explana tory of his military pursuits in Florida, were read by the Judge Advocate, and furnished undoubted evidence of the General's fitness for the efficient discharge of the duties al lotted him. So fitr the testimony clearly exhibits the innocence of•both Generals in• volved in the inquiry, and traces the failure of our campaigns to the want of energy and politirril tiirreast in the late head of the War Department. FR EDER ICE, Jan. 1887. The Count met at 11 o'clock—all present. Capt ETHAN ALLEN HITCH&OCK was examined. Quell —..Wore you with Gent. Gaines in the late Indian Campaigns, and in what capacity? Ans.—"On the 'Bth January, 1836, General Gaines appointed me acting Assistant Adjutant General. He subsequently superceded the order conferring on me that rank, by issuing another, appointing me Inspector General. I continued with General Gaines through his campaigns in Florida, and for some time alter.— QuPs. 2nd.—" Please to state the principal events which occurred in the campaigns of Genl. Gaines, in Florida?" Ans.—" The army under Gent. Gaines march. ed from Fort Brook, on the 13th Feb. 1836. Nothing of importance occurred until the 17th— when we discovered the ruins of some Indian vil lages: they appeared to have been burnt some time. At this,time, I believe there was n gene ral expectation throtighout the Army that Gent. Scott Would be soon in that vicinity in considora• hie force. I was in person about a mile (loin the main force, when a loud report was heard, Simi• lar to that.of a cannon. On joining the Army. 1 found this report had been the subject of general conversation, and the opinion seemed to bo al most unanimous, that it was the report of a piece of ordinance, with the force of General Scott. On the 19th Febrnary, the nrmy onnamped a bout 90 miles from the mouth on the North bank of the Wythlachoochee, burning ono other Indian town before occupying the camp, which appeared to have been abandoned several days. We found nt this camp, the romainos of Major Dade and his lamented associates. The bodies of the doad were honorably hurled, and the army continued its march, arriving on the 22nd of the month nt Fort King. On the 24th a detachment of the 4th United States Infantry. under Lt. Col. Foster, was despatched to Fort Drano for supplies and information. The supplies at that post however were discovered to be insufficient for ono corn. I pany. Col. Foster returned next evening by a forced march, bringing with him seven day's rations for Gen. Gaines' command. The colonel was accompanied by Gent. Clinch from` Fort Drone. Oil the 26th Fob. Major General Gaines resumed his match in ditectiir: ofn point on the Wythlacoochee where it was understood that Gerd. Clinch had fought the !fictions on the 21st December. Tho army reached this point on the 27th. While the General was reconnoitering the crossing, the contra and left cotumus were fired upon by the Seminoles from the opposite side of the river,—the baggage train was halted end n proper place for an encampment selected; as it was not the purpose of Gent. Gaines to cross the river that night. The firing of the enemy was briskly returned, and after keeping it up for a bout an half hour, the General directed Lt. Col. Twiggs, and his second in command (who had been appointed to load the 2nd Brigade as a light brigade) to withdraw from the river atter the men had become familiar with the now scenes presented to thorn; or words to that effect. The army withdrew and encamped accordingly, hay. ing sustained the loss of ono killed mid seven wounded. The crossing at this point of the river was retarded by the swampy character of the shore in its vicinity. This army on the 28111 moved down the river n few miles, perhaps two miles, from the place last mentioned. The ad vance guard was commanded by Brigade Major Izard. The advance was fired upon, end its lead er mortally wounded. His force was sustained by two companies of the 4111 United States loran- . try, and a portion .ofvolunteors. The firing con tinued across illo river, until between 12 tind 1 o'clock. The Indian yell was continuous all this time. At one time it appeared to be very greatly increased, as if by the accession of now furces.— Our loss up to this period was Lt. Izard mortally wounded on the 28th, died on the fifth of March, one Sergeant of Artillery and two vnlunteers kil led, and thi - ty or forty wounded. On the fifth of March at 10 o'clock A. M. a loud voice was hoard from the woods, hauling our camp, and some one cried out "the Indians have had fighting enough, they went to come and ,havo u &lonely talk and make peace." He was answered by order of the General, that if "one of their Chiefs .came with a white flag next morning. they should not be fired upon," the man ill the woods shouted "very well! wo will be in after breakfast" and hada us good night. On the morn ing following, 1 think about 10 o'clock, Indians worn seen filing of at the east and west sides of our camp, passing from the river awl .uniting in the rear of us, perhaps six bombed surds distant nod 3(10 in monitor. FlOlll this body, a few lo nians came with a white flag They were first met from our camp by Adjutant Barren, of thu ,of volunteers, whim reported to Gen. G. that the Indians stated that they did not want any inure fighting I was directod by the General to go and hear whni the Indiana l ie d to say i cl retuested two gentlemen to go will. me, Surgeon Harold. of the volunteers, and Ad jutant Barron. I told these gentlemen that I Tiad instructions from Gen. Games for my govern. ment to the approaching conference, that I would attend to them. and requested my com panions to observe what paned. We accordingly mot at about one hundred and fifty yards from our camp, several Indian chiefs, with their interpreter—among the chiefs was JUMPER, (understood to be the principal adviser of . Mins story) and Oni:m.s, who was conridered a princ.pal• war chief. There was another called Alligatof, present—the nu nine of tha where have oscaped my memory .liturca conducted the council on the Dart of the Indians, through their intorpreter. I )14t1 employed and brought with roe an interpreter from nor camp, who was (thee. Ind not to make .himself known hot to listen to what 'nicht tat said among the Indians. leNtrErt at 'first enquired of inc "what I had to any," I an. awernd,"nothing b, him, hut that I had come to hear what they had to say." They then repeated the purport of what they sant in the woods, on the night before; i. e. t"finit they hurl loot many warriors; that they did not wish to lose any more, hot wanted to make. pence." I cemmunicated . this to the General, (I will remark In the Court, that my instructions from Geol. Gnines were gen. ernl, not Freific.) I had many conversati on . with Geol. Guinea, on the stihject of the pre. per manner of treating with Indians: In these con- . versations, lie had invariably declared, that ho would not deal with thorn on any other terms than the known and ncicnowledged principles, which should govern the intercourse et' enlightened no. thins, frequently declaring that the ignorance and dependence of the Indians made it matter of obli• gat ion on UP, to deal with them - humanely end jostle. It was in reference to these views, as I understood thorn, that the General had directed me to confer with the Indians, observing at the tome time, "yon know my principles" or Rome. thing to that effect. In accordance with this, I stated in all inter. views with the Indiana, that Geol. Gaines was commanding officer to our camp. The Indians said, they know General Gaines; had a high opin ion elide,. and appeared pleased to find that lie was the commanding officer in our camp: I stated to them that General Gaines was but ono of' several chiefs, sent by the President of the United States among them to compel them to a pence. I desired to show thorn, that they would, if necessa ry, be compelled to submit—and for this porpose. I midenyored to show them the extent of territory' oceti;ded by the Whites, their dense population; their resources, &c. using the simile often reser. ted to in council with Indians "the - whites cover the country, like the trees of the forest"—After talking to them in language like this—assuring them over and over field') that they would be corn. pelted to submit. they answered that they would take council among themselves, would ossemblo again in the afternoon and have another talk. In the afternoon they accordingly came, in the same order as in the morning. " I bad, In the mean time Leen advised by the General, that he did not feel authorized in making any terms with them—that if they persisted in asking for peace, I must give it to them conditionally and require them to pledge ottoman nee oft heir agreement. Those conditions worn, that they should cease entirely from all acts of hostility against the whites, cross to the tooth side of the Wythlaconchee and promise.tp attend a council whenever and talierever Ahoy • . would he sent for. (I would state to the court,thnt at this lime, Major General Scott was not 30 miles distant from us). The chiefs answered "that Miconopy was not with them, end had not been for several days," they "wanted time to con sult him, that they would make no permanent arrangement without dointrso;" bufthat for them selves, they engaged to comply with the terms dictated to them by Major General Gaines. To prevent any misunderstanding of' those terms I repeated them distinctly twice over. Towards the close of the lust intervieW, there were indica7 lions of an approaching force somewhere in our Vicinity, apparently from, tho Mirth: The Indians at a distance called to those couircili and made signs to them to fly—l Immediately supposed this to arise from the approach of tronpa from Fort Drone and told the chief, to hasten 'their .moo away; and put them in-security.

It. is the second case pf the kind that has recent. ly occurred, and proves how long the deliter ous virus will . linger and rankle, in the sys tona,before it terminate in death. We tin. dcrstand that a number of the butchers. who witnessed the dreadful agonies of Mr. Ten broeck, went home and killed their dogs, to prevent their becoming instruments of extending the frightful mischief. The case is as follows:—Mr. Lorenzo 0. Tenbroeck, 'butcher by profession, residing in Delan cey, near Essex at., died on Monday after noon, with all the symptoms of hydropho. bill, in their most appalling character. In the month of August last, he frequently a mused himself with a little puppy dog, be hanging to the house, which was n plaything -fir his children, and it bit him slightly in the thOmb. The puppy was immediatel killed, and nothing more was thought of the matter until Saturday morning lust when n slight pain in the thumb attracted his notice, with a red streak which grad. unity ascended up to the armpit. He was in n good deal of pain with it until Saturday evening, when on offering to him a tumbler, of water he fell into spasms, which continued to increase violently up to Monday morn• ing. It was only the dread produced in his mind on the tumbler of water being presu. ted to him that alarmed him and the lame ly, and brought to their recollection the in cident oflast August. The spasms violent ly increased. During the intervals he con. versed (reel• with his friends, and told some ofthem on Monday morning that ho had lived four hours longer than he find anticipated. Ile begged them to tie him, which was done upon the accession of another spasm, in which he frothed and foamed dreadfully at the mouth, and thus continued in the most horrid agonies,nt intervals lucid, until death closed the mournfiil scene. We do not know who were his medical attendants, and have derived these particulars from one of hi s f r i en d s .

Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot ANNAPOLIS, Jun. 16,1817 I have joist returned from n meeting of the Committee appointed to inquire what reforms are necessary in the constitution.-- A projet of reform was submitted, which, it is generally believed, will he acquiesced in 'by the committee. As near as I could gather, it is as follows: House of Delegales.-5 members from Baltimore city and 5 from Frederick county —4 members from the several counties of Anne A rundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Charles, Cecil, Dorchester, Hayford, Montgomery, Prince George t .,Somerset, Washington and Worcester —3 members from the several counties of Allegany, Calvert, Caroline, Kent, Queen Anns, St. Mary's, Talbot— and 1 from the city of Annapolis—a new apportionment in 1F.'50, and every twenty years thereafter, upon the federal principle of popular representation—but no city shall be entitled to more than 6 members, nor to a greater number than the largest county, nor any county to have less than 3 members. Senate--To be elected for five years one Senator from each county and one from the cities of Baltimore and Annapolis, to be elected immediately by the people. Governor elected by the people, alter nately from the Western and Eastern Shore —the Senate to be the constitutional advisers of the Governor in rill' executive appoint• . ments to office. The Council abolished—the cffice defer!: o Council abolished. Secretary of State lobe appointed. These are the main features of reform submitted by the committee. What will be their fitte when they come before the House, time alone will determine. A lend mine is said to have been discov ered near Cresap-town, in Allegheny Coun ty, Md. RICHMOND M.

Considering that the winds at this season are generally adverse, it may be quoted as one of the shortest passages that has been 'made of late years under similar circumstances, being only twenty. four days! We learn that on the 29th of November the southern coast of England and nothern shores of France were visited by one of the most terrific hurricanes in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. The list of s - hip• wrecks is frightful. The barque Isabella, Ciptain Kurtz, from thiscitv to Amsterdam, had been wrecked on the English coast.— The hurricane swept through the midland and southern counties, producing dreadful havoc. Coaches were upset, trees and houses blown down, and the stocks of farm yards scattered to the winds. Many lives were lost in difihrent parts of the Kingdom, and much property destroyed by the sud- den inundations which succeeded the tor• rents of rain. London did not escape the fury of the storm, but suffered great da. maee. Don Miguel, tired of inaction, is about to commence a rebellion in Portugal, on the plan of Carlos in Spain. There was a meeting in the Royal Guard at Madrid on the 27th of November. Two hundred and sixty soldiers revolted; but they were subdued, and condemned to be quinternated—(every fifty men to be shot.) As soon as three had suffered, hdweyor, Her Majesty, the Queen Regent, sent and pardoned the remainder. It is clear that muchdisaffection prevails against the Christino cause.

Correspondence of tho Pennsylvania Telegraph WASHINGTON, Jan. 12, 1837. The Van Buren screws have been put to work against Pennsylvania as a reward for her votes. Not content with striking at her credit in foreign countries, and interfering with her legislation at home. in a manner intended to embarrass her finances, a dead. ly blow must now be given to her mechanics, manufacturers and miners. Mr. Cambreling, a well known leader of the Van Buren party, in Congress, has pre sented a bill, which from the indications of to-day, has a majority in its favor and may become a law, by which the very foundation of the prosperity of Pennsylvania will be rent asunder, and her industrious mechan ics and tradesmen sacrificed in an unequal competition with British pauper labor, invi• ted into our market. Are the mechanics and workingmen of Pennsylvania Willing to be thus degraded and ruined? If not,let them speak out with a voice that becomes the freemen of the Key Stone--let them speak promptly and firmly. This destructive bill proposed by Mr. V. Buren's friend and leader, goes further in its attack on Pennsylvania interest and pros perity—it aims at the prostration of her coal trade. The coal trade which now gives employment to thsusands of her citi zens, in which millions of her capital are invested, and which is to render her canals and rail-roads productive, is to be destroyed, and BRITISH COAL iS to be admitted into this country free of duty. This is the Van Buren policy—Penrisvl vania coal is to be proscribed, and the No va Scotia coal is to be brought in free, that Mining Association of London, which owns the whole of the Mines in Nova Scotia and Cape Breton, as lessees of the Crown, and the late Duke of York, may be enrich— ed. It gives me pleasure to say that Mr. Mull lenburg, who was forcibly impressed with the ruinous tendency of Mr. Cambreling's bill, moved that it bo laid on tho table.— The motion failed—yens 94, nays 119.

It is ns follows: Give the child so attacked, half a tea. spoonfill of finely powdered Alum, by lay ing it on its bock and throwing the alum down its throat, and keeping it in that posi• lion until the powder, dissolves and the Child is obliged to swallow it. Should the first dose not vomit the child m fifteen minutes, repeat it every fifteen minutes until it does. At the same time, mix a plaster of Rimpee or Scotch Snuff; (and ifsnuff cannot be had, take the common Tohneco,dry it and pound it fine,) with hag's lard, spread it on a cloth, and he it" nround the neck and down the breast. Renew the plaster until the patient is better. When the patient begins to vom it up bile, stop it with strong coffee or a few drops of laudanum.

I have just returned from the Capifol,after witnessing the disgraceful and humiliating speci acleo he contemptible farce, as Mr. WEnsTnit said every man of sense would regard it, were it .not also a ruthless violation of the Constitution. 1 have seen those who were sent here to be the guardians of the Constitution and a country which has more to preserve than any other country tinder Heaven, borne down by a power which has swept every thing before it, until our very existence as a nation under our laws and constitution' is rendered a matter of great doubt and apprehension. At this Into hour, exhausted as I am, by a protract. ed and most exciting session, and filled with' the most painful emotions by all I have jus t . seen and heard—=the exultation of the wick ed and desperate—the compliance of the servile—the dejection of the virtuous and patriotie--the ineffective, though wonder' fill labors of great statesmen to rescue the Constitution, and preserve the dignity and independence of the Senate. I can only briefly notice the incidents of this most dis graceful sitting. Mr. EWING spoke with extraordinary earnestness and power. He maintained the justness•of the opinion conveyed in the ob noxious resolution, and went at great length into the consideration of the proposition to Expunge. Some of his' passages were full of noble and impassioned eloquence--others .were of the most sarcastic and withering character. When he sat down, "Question! Question!" was cried by BEN - TON, and echo. ed by the Expungers. The ayes and noes were ordered, and just as they were about to be taken Mr. W MISTER rose. Instantly the-most perfect silence reigned over the whole chturiberyou might hear the sup. pressed breathing of those around you, so profound was the stillness. His appearance was most solemn and imposing. Ho was manifestly struggling with deep emotions. He began to read a manuscript which he raised from his_ desk. The circumstance Wail singular that so skilful and practised an orator should read the remarks he thought fit to offer. But ft was not a speech—it was a SOLEMN PROTEST, in behalf of himself and his colleague, as Senators of Massachusetts, against the proceeding in which the Senate was about to engage. It was a paper of immense power—the argument clear, and irresistible as a mathematical proposition, and conveyed in the most terse and vigorous language—the remarks on the act to be per formed, and the protestation against it such as might be expected from the mind of a statesman and a patriot. The closing sen tences wore eloquent beyond description, and his voice, in giving utterance to them rang through the chamber like a clarion. Never have I heard more energetic and ef fective elocution than was exemplified in the reading of the whole paper. . As soon as Mr. Wkinarmi finished, "Ques tion! Question!" again rebounded through the room. .The question was then put on the adoption of the Expunging Resolution— and CARRIED. Twenty-four in the affirma tive. Nineteen to the negative. Mr. KING of Georgia, left the Chamber before the vote was taken. The man to whose pride the majority of the Senateyielded their independence and dignity—Mr. BEwroN-- then arose and proposed that the work should be consummated immediately. The goes. tion was put--the proposition agreed to.— The President pro tem. Mr. KING of Ala bama, then directed the Secretary to eXe• cute the order of the Senate—and instantly Mr. WEBSTER, Mr. CLAY, Mr. CALHOUN, and all the Whig Senators with the excep tion of two or three, left . the chamber in dis. gust. They Could not witness the degrad ing spectacle. I . _ .. c-The following are the names and resi dence of those BLACK KNIGHTS who vo ted to deface the Journals: JOHN RUGGLES, Maine. JUDAH DANA, Do.
