LETTERS FROM THE ARMY.

Mit.r.roosviLLE, FEB. 10.-" We haVe no further
information of any mischief baVing been done by
the Indians. It is the opinion of many intelligent
persons that the savages, front the nature of their
country, can elude a decisive engftgement, and
procrastinate the IVar almost at pleasure. We
think it unfortunate that the Militia had not been
called out, in the first instance, for the full term
authorised by Law.
Just as the above was in type, we learn, that
ihe Governor has received a letter from General
JACKSON, dated from Jackson County, in this
State. The General was proceeding to Fort
Uawkiu3 ; and there is but little doubt that he
arrived there yesterday, as the firing of the cannon,
in that direction, was distinctly heard.
NEW ORLEANS, JAN. 24.—New (Means at this
season of the year exhibits all the bustle of a
great fair. Here are crowded together multi-
tudes of sellers and buyers, from Alabama to Na-
{;itches, and North to Canada, Ohio, and the
extreme of Missouri ; all seem eager to grasp their
object, and may obtain it, for it is a country
richer in its productions than if it possessed the
Mines of Mexico. Cotton is abundant, and arrives
at this place as though itgrem in floating down:
the River. I have • seen the steam-boat arrive
with 800 bales of cotton on decii, and this re-
peated again and again. It is judged that there
will be more produce brought to this city during
the present than in any former season.. The wea-
ther has been colder here this season than has
everbeen known for many ye•ars. The. thermo-
meter has been as low as 27 degrees.; 1 have seen
ice two inches thick, and the ground has been
coveted with :now for several days. •

By the Leeward Island Mail, arrived this morn-
ing, lac have received Letters from St.Thomas's,
and horn Trinadad, to the 14th. The latter give
information from the Oronoko, which states, that
the Patriotic Army under General BOLIVAR had
been defeated by the Forces under Gen. Mo RILL 0,
before Calabazo, in conseqnence of ‘Thich the
Independent Forces were concentrating themselves
at Augustuta.

It is surprizing that the Conductor- of The
Worni►tg Chronicle, whoever he may be, should
have so little taste as always to be harping on the
same string. Mr. CANNING is the daily object of
its abutse, and while ii affects to condemn what it
stiles coarse language and allusions on the part of
that Gentleman, it falls into more coarse vulgarity
titan it imputes to him. It is proper to set the
matter right, which we do without any peculiar
partiality to Mr. CANNING, though .admiring his
abilities, his knowledge, and his wit, and fully
relying on the rectitude of his political principles.
Mr. CANNING did nor, as The Chronicle falsely
and malevolently asserts, throw ridicule upon
OGDEN and his disorder. OGDEN was not an ob-
ject for ridicule, hilt for severe reprobation ; yet
if ridicule can expose such -men to universal
contempt, ,it is properly. employed against
them. Nor did Mr. CANNING treat with ridi-
cule the bodily Mt mity of this man, he
only ridiculed the despicable attempts of the
Opposition Writers to make his disorder, in one
sense, a covering and excuse for his disorder in an-
other. When Mr. CANNING talked of -f•the do-
(pence of a rupture," he must have had too much
taste, too much judgment, and too much regard
to the common feelings of mankind to- intend
to treat bodily pain and a severe operation
with levity ; but his, humour was directed against
the, malignant whinings of the Scribblers without,
and the Partizans within doors, who, if OLIVER
had suffered in the same manner, would have
exerted all the wit which they could muster
against him, bat who wailed piteously over OG-
DEN, because he is a patriot of their own stamp.
These miserably dull Scribblers and Orators, hav-
ing no sense of humour, 'either take things liter-
ally, or chose to do so in order to vent their rancour.
The Chronicle this day mentions the manner in.
which " poor OGD►EN's towels were extracted, and
how they writhed round the knife," and such is
the mode in which it entertains its readets. It is.
impossible that-the Proprietor of The• Chronicle,:
who mixes with good society, and is too well'
acquainted_ with the public taste and feeling, can
