but also withdrew his nomination.
Mr. Mallory stated that in voting for
Mr. Rives, he must not be considered as
there by sanctioning the expungDg resoiu-
lions. Reflection had confirmed him as
to the propriety Of his opposition to those
resolutions. He believed majority of
bis constituents preferred Mr. X. and that

He should therefore, vote for MIR. Rives

his duty 10 make.

Rives under belief that bis constituents
desired the re election of an Adminlsira.

From the Nashville Banner.
.. trs TVfNC


Notwithstanding the inclemency Of the
weather, the citizens of Nashville, of both
sexes, assembled in great numbers, to
hear addressed from the Texas Commits
sioners, g. take such other steps as might
be deemed proper with view TO lend
their aid and countenance TO their fellow
countrymen in Texas.
The proceedings having been opened
with prayer by the Rev. Mr.. Hammer, DR..
John Shelby was called TO the Chair, and
the meeting was addressed in succession
by MIR. Wharton, General Austin and DIR.
Archer II would be impossible TO des
cribe the enthusiasm which prevailed on
this occasion, The Speakers were ire
quently interrupted with the loudest bursts
of applause, and throughout the most nu'
merous and respectable assemblage, there
seemed but one sentiment. "God speed
our gallant fellow countrymen in Texas"
hung on every lip.
After the addresses had been delivered.
II. r. w. Hill, Esq, read an extract
from letter that evening received, ex-
pressing a wish on the part Of a portion OF
the young men in Nashville to proceed
forthwith to Texas, and there organize
themselves into company to be called the
NASHVILLE Guards" Mr. Hill also re-
naked, that he had been authorized by
the Ladies, TO say, that all necessary E.
equipments and means of transportation
which the company or any portion OF
them, should want. would be forthcomiR 9
as soon as the fact were made known.
Mr. Hill then offered the following reso
lu,ions, which were unanimously adopte d:
Resolved. That we hail the people oil
Texas as struggling for the same princi-
piles for which Henry Numbered, Wash
ington conquered, aud Warren died.
Resolved, Moreover, that their cause
is sacred one, nasmuch as they are con-
tending for the privilege Of worshippln 6
Almighty God accoring to the dictates of
their own consciences
Resolved, That we will extend to them
now and at all times, any and every coun
tenance and assistance consistent with orr
paramount duties to our own government.
Resolved, That we deeply depiore the
glorious bat untImely fate OF the hero iii.
lam-the dauntlc.s leader in storming San
Antonio.

The WAR IN FLoRIDA.-We learn that
information has been received in Wash
ington city, that Gen. Gaines, with about
twelve hundred men, took up his line OF
march from Tampa bay on the 18th ult.
and encamped the first night about six
miles from the fort, on his way TO Fort
King. lie will pursue the route taken by
Major Dade, and thus pass through the
country occupied by the hostile indians.
We observe in the Key West Inquirer
Of the 18th ult. contradiction from the
collector, Of the story which has been run
ming through the newspapers, that the In
dams had been supplied with arms by the
Spanish fishermen, "Ihus." says the ed
itor, "do mountains grow Out Of mole
hills"
The same paper contains letter from
lieutenant Avord, dated Tampa bay, in
which he states that the commanding Of
ficer had burnt the quarters at i. Brooke
and that scarce vestage Is left olthe can
tonement. He adds, Little did we think
that Our first succ0ur would be from the
navy. Glory ever rest upon the act -
Really 1t seems TO us that the panic must
have been great indeed, when officers OF
the army could act and write in this man
ner. We wero brought up in the west.
and have heard many tales Of iadian cru
city aud bravery but that the Seminoes
intended 10 attack a fortified position.
maintained by regular troops, friendly In
dams. and some volunteer force, probably
to the amount OF upwards of three hun
dred, and deleHded by cannon. is some
thing new. Ia the west, the women would
have repulsed them, as they aided in do
ing, at Wheeling and other places.
II seems that every place in Florida ex
pec;ed Powell and his force at the same
time. He was. as reports said at Tampa
hay, and at Fort King, preparing 10 attack
81 augustine in boats, and looked for at
Tallahassee. And yet for more than six
weeks the Indians have struck no stroke,
Tor appeared any where in much force. -
They have done great injury. destroyed
large amount Of property, and occasioned
much waste Of life and the situation of
that part OF the territory where all this has
occurred, is greatly TO be deplored. We
trust that in short time this lamentable
state Of things will be over bot in the
meantime the strength of the Indians
should not be magnitied, nor unreasonable
approximations be entertained, and the ex
ertlons Of our forces thus paralyZed.
