The following advertisement is copied verbatim et

ment of our readers:
FRILVDS Ann Ctrests—llaving served my country with pa-
, trbtic valor and feeling, yet actuated with the warmest wishes
for the prosperity and happiness of my fellow-citizens, I feel it
my duty to offer to them my services in the civil department.
" I have fought for liberty and my country ; I have arrested
the tomahawk when raised against the innocent; and therefore,
since it Is nn longer in my posvcr to direct our soldi.as to the
fight, accept my friends of the humble off r of my talents fur
the :dice of Assistant Judge.

" Who is cl-zserving of the civil office, if the soldi.-r bred to
the Art of irar, and accomplished in every thing lr.teresting to
miety, is not : who has toiled, with hunger, with cold and
danger, to protect the rights of the Republic?

This, we think, is one of the best things of the kind
we have ever seen. Who can resist such eloquence,
the claims of such patriotism, and, above all, such
unaffected modesty? The Indianians, we conceive,
must be the most cruel cold-hearted people in exis-
tence, if they do not reward him for his " accom-
plishments," his "toil,' the •, danger" he has en-
countered, and the " cold" and " hunger" he has
" endured." We hope the honest Indianians will
not be so particular about names, as to forsake our
friend Banc, and Ay to some other candidate as an
antidote.

The Raleig,l: Register dives a gratifying account of
the progress of civilization among the Cherokee In-
dians, making it probable that some other method
might be adopted with that race, than " cutting
them up in style." The Lanctsterian schools are
established among them, in which are tiught succes-
sively, the common branches of education, together
with the agricultural arts, to the boys, by systematic •
labour ; and needle-work, &c. to the girls, among',
whom are some genteel young women. This is the'
benevolent work of the Moravian, continued for
yc.ars cast.

It is calculated in the Washing,lon Cily Gazelle,
that '2,000 persons pass from the southern States to
the eastern, fir the benefit of the air, in the summer
season, and that each of these persons expends on the
jour:tey 500 dollars, making in the whole a million
of dollars in a single season.
The ship Adonis, Champlin, from I I vre-de-Grace,
arrived at this port, has 400,000 dollars in specie for
the United States Bank.

The Washington City Gazette says, the intimation
in some of the Western papers, that General Jack-
son intended to resign his commission in the army, is
without foundation.
COMMODORE TAYLOR.—This officer of the Govern-
ment of Buenos Ayres, who accidently happened to

GENERAL JACKSON'S CAMPAIGN, Scc.
FRONI TILE FRANK:IN G.SZI7Tr,

Extract from the Journal of a Gentleman travdling in the

Southern Section of the United States.

The Indians inhabiting the country lying between
Georgia and the Mississippi river could bring into the
field about 11,000 warriors :—The Choctaws, 4,000;
Creeks, 3,30; Cherokees, 1,400; Chickasaws, 1,800;
Seminoles, 1,000. This force, if embodied and hos-
tile, would be a serious enemy to the United States ;
fortunately, however, there exists among the different
tribes, jealousies and enmities that will prevent such
an association ever taking place, a•:d er able tlie
United States, in the event of host;.;ii.y with either,
to employ as active allies any of the :•a.tior.s. The
Creeks were formerly the most warlike, 1-_it tie se-
vere conflict in the year 1813, diminiblied their num-
bers and their spirit ; none of them are, however,
enemies to be despised; in personal courage they arc
seldom deficient, but, like all igegular troops, hay-
