copied from the Courier.
Tallahassee, Jan. II.
The prevailing opinion among the OH
GERS Of the Army, that the Seminole In
dians arc not a brave race of men, and are
to be subdued by small force, is entirely
erroneous. They are commanded by Powell
a half breed, as brave man rs ever lived,
and who, in the late battle, proved himself
to bc good General, to which Gen. Clinch
and his regulars can bear testimony.
He says he can hold his present position
against tho United St;ies, 5 years; and if
ever he is permitted TO get into the Southern
part of the Peninsula, it is 4 matter of
some doubt if the whole Of the L. s. Army
can get him out.
He told me that the distress which nc
saw among the inhabitants on the frontier,
was enough to make the heart sick; wo.
men and children begging the officers anu
men not to leave them to be shot and scalp,
ed BIZ theIndians; every house burnt and
Santatlons Destroyed, and every thing on
1t, even the. legs Of the fowls cut Gill; and
heir bodies stuck full of lightwood sphnters.

At this date itwas considered that the east

There are different indications tl.a. the

the authorities Of Georgia were sending to

Accounts from Mobile suggest that armcs

Major General Gaines reached Mobile on

The force Of the hostile Seminole Indians
is estimated at $500. Their leader Powell
is said to have been educated at Choctaw
school in Kentucky.
SAVANNAH, Jan. 20.-.Wc under
stand from u letter read to us from Il highly
respectable citizen of Camden County, that
500 Indians were within forty miles of St.
Mary's committing Depreciation. 'rh. let
ter does not mention whether they are OF
the Creek or Seminole Tribe, we should sup
nose the former, rs it is rumorcd that they
have joined the latter.
:. The Indian Chief PeaceU.-Thc char:
meter of this chief is but little known and
pst sufficiently appreciated. He is repre-
scented TO be q savage Of great tact, energy
ofcharae,er,& bold daring. The skill with
which he has for long time managed to
f,ustratc the measures Of our gouernmcni
for the removal Of the Indians beyond the
Mississippi. entillc him to be superior to
Black Hawk. Charley Omathla chief ol
the friendly party, interposcd difficulties to
the execution of his plans, and he at once
shot him. He bore an invctcrate hatred &c
Gen. Thompson, and yet he concealed his
antipathes so skillfuny as to deceive the q,
gent. and to induce him to consider Powell
as personally friendly. Gen: Thompson
fell by the hands Of Powell. This Warrior
Chief was present three days after at the
battle of the Withlacouchee.
tits proper to observe that he ought moi
to be called Powell, as that is only a nick
namc.-His Indian name is "Oscola," ane
by that he should be distinguished. 1t |:
apprehcnded that he will give the govern
ment much trouble, if they do not act witt
that decision and energy, that becomes tht
power and force ofthe country; the dcvas
fation and ruin that he has already causct
wihnot fall short Of million Of dollars.

OUR MAILS.

subscribers requires that we should say n word in
relation 10 the Mail arrangements of this place.
Three weeks have elapsed. since the Northern
Stage was taken from us. We saw the order of
the Post Master General 10 the Post Master OF this
place. He said that we should have a tri-~ceLly
Horse Mail, from this point 10 some point on The
new road. Amazing goodness! Too good to bs
true. He has either now come to the conclusion.
NAT lie was promising too much for his disaflccted
Province, or his Agent has violated his trust. In
either event, the consequences are the same to us.
a portion of our Subscribers on the S.k,da side
OF the District, have ever since been deprived of
their paper. Our only channel of mail connm,-
%nicntion, with them, is through Georgia, and we
nave repeatedly endeavoredto avail ourselves OF

PROFESSOR DEW.

- 49,
To The, kindness of Professor Dew, of William
and Mary College are indebted for copy of
hls Address, Son tile Influences of the Federative
Republican system cf Government upon Litera-
'ture and the Development of character" We
wish that we could publish il, but its gfca, length
ierbids us. TO shy that it is able, would be hut
ialnt praise: 1t is masterlySitis almost ullequalled;
certainly not surpassed by my Thing of the kind,
which we have read. The subject presents n
most interesting field o~f.eniiiry, and tile results
arc most gratifying to Americans; and especially
TO the citizens of the Slaveholding States, He has
rendered indeed Il most essential service to the
norid. He has demonstrated ttht tho Federu,iye
republican system, is the only system which can
develop the high aud noble qualities oftLe human
intellect. Carrying his reader from age to age
from nation to nation, lie has shcwnb by the records
Of history, that Republics lave always been the
nurseries "ofahe noble and more useful branches
OF kaawle'igc' nofal, mental, religious. and pnliti.
cal. while the patronage OF the throne has always
clipped the wings of philosophy, and arrested the
growth of scic:icc and the progress of tho arts.n
Nor IS this all. He has most trillmpham,v s,,s-
timed the peculiar Institutions of the South. and
proved that our state of society is better admitted
to ward of, the evils which are so destructive to
morals, to mind and to liberty, than any which has
ever existed. Let tho reader bear in mind. tina,
II Is indispensable TO our success, TO preserve our
government i'll its perfect purity. Ours is
al onIon OF separate, independent, Republican
States, each possessing tl.c attributes of Soye-
reignty perfect within itself. will, the excep,ion
OF the, small portion which was delegated, when
they formed the Federal Union. This is The true
nature OF our Government, and upon it alone de.
pend all onr bright anticipations of the future. I'm
the lhngtasc of-tl,e eloquent author, ..ifevor our
state Institutions be overtllrovn, and the concen-
'ratlon OF all TIC powers into one great central
Government shall ui"uld this system of Republics
INTO one grand consolidated Empire, then will the
last and greatest evil which can befal our country,
have arrived" Again we thank Professor Dew
for this powerful defence Of our Institutions. and
we most cordially recommend its attentive pen,sn,
to all who Gun command il.
