Tuesday. March "a, 1918.
The bill for preserving inviolate the
neutral relations Of the United States, as
reported with amendments by a commit.
tee of the whole, was yesterday brought
under the consideration OF the house oil
representatives, aud underwent consi-
derable share of discussisn-not 50 much
on the bill itself as on various amend.
ments proposed to it, most of which were
negatived, and therefore are hot necessa-
~ to be MENTIONED Of those adopted,
the only one worth particularising in this
place was one proposed by Gen. Smith OF
Maryland. which contains proviso that
" nothing contained in the act shall be
construed to affect the rights Of citizens
of the United States, who may prosecute
in the courts OF the United States Tor
property taken from them on the high
seas" Mr.. Lowndes made an ineffectu-
al attempt to get rid Of the bill, by a mo-
ton for an indefinite postponemest ; the
question on which was taken BY yeas and
nays, and negatived by 70 nays to 70
yeas.
The bill was then ordered to be en-
crossed and read a third time-the ques-
ton on it being also taken by yeas and
nays and carried by e5 yeas to 81 nays.
Ipresune the bill as amended will pass
this morning.

From the Vat Intetligencer of yesterday,

THB INDIAN WAR.
Our accounts from Milledgeville, un.
de- date of the 18th inst. furnish US the
pleasing occasion Of contradicling the re-
post Of the disaster said to have occurred
to General Gaines; though it was not
without some foundation, an accident ha
wing occurred, of the particulars of which
we have no information, except that some
person was drowned. From the present
state OF our information, we incline to be-
lieve that Major Wright escaped as well
as General Gaines. The reports from
the interior are so vague as to lose all de-
finite shape before they reach even Mil
ledgevills.
A skirmish took place on the Ga inst.
between party OF militia Of Telfair
county, and fifty or sixty Indians, which
resulted in the rout of the militia. Seve-
raj are known to be killed, among whom
is Major CothOR, and the fate Of several
others is not ksown. A part Of the de-
ta:hment escaped, bringing off with
them one badly wounded. Several In
dams were killed in the skirmish, which,
it is believed, the Ind.ans brought On by
the stratagem of letting young man,
whom they scalped few days before, es
cape to the settlement.
In consequence of this skirmi.h, the
governor had ordered the Pulaski troop
OF cavalry to scour the frontier.

Extract Of letter from a respectable
merchant in Liverpool to a mercantile
house in Philadelphia, dated Jan. go.
SIR,-For the last three weeks our
market has been ON the decline for COT
ton, and prices have given way fully Id
per ID. on uplaBds and New-erleans At
present it is impossible to say whether
or not the present prices will be support.
ed. Most people are inclined to think
they will not, from the extensive supplies
we shall receive in the course of next
month from all parts of the United States,
as we'll as from the Brazils and the East
midas, which will naturally produce a
pressure on the market, as there are al.
,ays some importers necessitated to
make sales at the market prices, what
ever il NAV be; il is therefore quite pre-.
Posterous for the merchants in America
to give such extravagant prices for cot
ton, which must he attended with hea-
Wy loss, by making Investments in an ar
ticle a price so much above its real va
lue. There is no prospect Of cotton ever
rating so high again in this market as il
has done during the last year, as the sup
plies are Increasing from all quarters
every menth; it will therefore be much
better to abstain from shipping this arti-
Gle altogether, unless it can be laid in at
lower prices, which apprehend the plan
ter can afford to do at one half the pre-
sent rates, and be well paid for his ahor.
There has been a very good demand
fer pot and pearl ashes during this month,
which still continues. and the annexed
prices are very readily obtained Our
present stock OF this article is not heavy.
For the last two weeks, and durine
part OF this. our market ~as dull for
wheat and flour, but yesterday and to-
day has produced considerable demand
for both wheat and lour, with an advance
