Mr.. MISUNDERSTANDING that, at
the present juncture Of our national af-
fairs, nothing within the pale Of politics
lies nearer your heart than the election
of Gen. Harrison to the presidency Of
the U. States, embrace the present op.
portunity Of congratulating you on his
bright, and continually Frightening
prospects Of success in November next.
Yes, sir, in every nook of our extern
ded republic is the voice of the sturdy
yeomanry to be heard, crying, like the
whipporwilI in the evening, Harrison,
Harrison, Harrison forever. And
this is as it should be. 1t is the result
of comparative view of the transcen-
dent merits of the Hero of Tippeca-l
noe and the no merits at all of the
knight Of Undertook. 1t is true, how.
ever, that, in the midst of these patri-
otto EXPLANATIONS for Harrison we
sometimes hear the croakngs of the
friends of the former gentleman who
still cling to his fallen fortunes. But
their voices, like their cause, are be-
coming SO weak and tremulous that
they very little disturb that melli flu
Gus music with which the political well
kin is made to ring by the yeomanry
above mentioned. You, MIR. Editor,
and all the rest of Harrison's numer.
Gus friends in this section of country,
may, therefore, now lift up your heads
for your political redemption is mani
testify drawing nigh. But few more
months will mingle with the ocean Of
eternity, ere the thunder of the ballot
boxes will shake off those ponderous
letters of despotism with which you
have been nanacled for the last few
years. Yes, gentlemen, the signs now
visible in the political zodiack album
dainty justify the belief that the war
worn soldier, the enlightened states
man, Harrison, will be elected, to the
presidency of the U. States, over Mar
tin Van Buren,, by an overwhelming
majority. Huzza, Huzza, then, for

Indian Affairs.
r,om ,he CoIumbus Sentinel, July 2.


An express came in to the Governor
last night; bringing intelligence Of the
escape Of the hostile Indians, probably
under Jim Henry, and that on their way
through, they have murdered fourteen
whites. General Scott, it's said, started
off company of mounted men after them,
bu, the Indians were two days ahead; but
little prospect is entertained OF oSerta-
king them. The express states, that the
supposed number Of the Indians were
near 800, and they were well mounted'
&c. The Indians crossed the Chattahoo-
chic only three miles below Roanoke. and
thus with an army opposed to them Of
nearly 5000 effective men, aud in their
very midst, have these desperadocs cs-
eaped, carrying death and destruction in
their train. In justice to Governor Schley.
we are happy to state, that some time
since, anticipating that the Indians would
escape whenever they got hard pressed,
he took The prcrau,ion TO order Gen. Viii
coz, Of Telfair county, to have suffi-
cicnt armed force stationed in Baker coun.
II, 10 in,crcep, them, and that The men
who were thus ordered for this purpose,
absolutely refused TO be commanded by
Gen. Wilcox, and have thought proper TO
siispcrse, in defiance Of every effort Of
Gen. w. to the contrary. If necessary,
IRE will publish the order Of his Excellcn-
CIV TO Gen. Wilcox, and the correspon.
denee between the parties, which will en-
tircly excuipaic Gov. Sehley from blame.
We have just had an Interview with
Maj. John j. Slater, direct from Fort
Jones, who gave Us intelligence that in-
formation had reached that place ycs,er-
day, prcviou, to his leaving, that Col.
Thomas Holmes, Of Baker county. with
his command Of i25 men. had ovcsiakcn
the Indians near tho Florida line, and
was giving them battle. In consequence
of the Indians having superior force, he
Was lighting. retrcatsng and advancing. in.
scnding thereby TO hold them al bay until
ha could be reinforced. The bearer Of
the information further stated, that he had
met Col. Bell with two hundred and Fifty
men, in twenty miles Of him, pressing with
all speed 10 his assistance. The proba-
biiiiy is, therefore, that The seounilrels
will yc, be brought TO justiec.-Lord
