this was the flag ship ofthe enemy, under

NEWPORT:
Thursday, July Ia, 1896.
WING NOMINATION,
FOR PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES,
DANIEL WEBSTER,
OF Massachusetts.
or Massachusetts.

The Republican of yesterday, in ii
coarse and vituperative article, under
takes to question the correctness Of the
statement in our last, as TO the object Of
Mr.. Calhoun's motion to recom'nit the
bill for Fortiications; and insists, that it
was his declared purpose to reduce, one
hall, e ach separate item Of the bill report.
eG to the House by the committee Of
Ways and Means, and among them the
100000 appropriation for Fort Adams.
We deny that any such purpose was a
vowed by Mr.. Calhoun. We affirm
that his object, as explicitly stated by
himself, was to reduce the ,cholt amount
of the bill to sixteen hundred thousand
dollars, which would then be just double
the amount of the ILL of the last year.
MIR. Calhoun, and many others, object
ed with the best reasons to the eXtrava-
giant items loisted in by Mr.. Cambre
Ieng, which carried the appropriations
for the present year to over three millions
of dollars-m many of them having no sort
Of pertinency to bill for Fortiic atoms.
Even Mr.. Wright of N. Y. admit
ted 'that there were included in that
bill items, which should have been in
the army bill, not pertaining to the for
tiications." And we again affirm, that
it was with view of reducing these cr-
ia expenditures, and these only, that
Mr.. Il. voted in favor of the reCommit-
ment.
Besides, what an absurdity it is to i'm
pute TO Mr.. ROBINS disposition to de-
feat and retard the very measures, which
he has most at heart, and which he has
repeatedly pressed upon the attention Of
Congress. We can refer to the speech,
we this day publish as. the best exponent
OF his sentiments on this head. We ask
no greater favor for Mr.. II. than to con-
trast his sentiments,on the importance Of
Narragansett Bay and the necessity of
lotilying it, with the avowed opinions of
the Soornons at Washington, as express
scd by Gov. Cass, aud ratified by Gen.
jackson.
AS to the abusive remarks upon Mr..
Poindexter's character, and his agency
in confirming MIR. Robbins election,-
they are too preposterous to require criti-
cism. MIR. P's great offence in the
eyes of this writer, would really seem to
be that he placed the cons,itutionality OF
the law Of 1889, aud the consequent
right Of MIR. Robbins to his seat in the
/, l.. S. Senate in such clear point OF
view, that he not only satisfied the Sen.
ate of its validity, but actually coaven-
ed the Jackson party Of Rhode Island
TO the same sentiments. Wo all
know, that a few months only had e.
lapsed after his report had been publish
ed, when the same party re. enacted the
very law, (Which they now denounce

required it.

INDIAN DEpREDATioSs AND Mum
'pERs IN GEoRGiA.-As we antici pate, a
large body of Indians have made their
escape from the net laid for them by
Generals Scott and Sanford, and are
now on their way to Florida, devastating
the country through which they pass,
and numbering our defenceless citizens,
with their helpless wives and children.
We are indebted to a friend for the fol-
lowing painfully interesting account:
A party of Indians, supposed to be
about 300, passed through Baker county
on Sunday morning last, numbering the
inhabitants that fell in their way, with
out regard to ago or sex. They were
closely pressed by small company Of
men OF that county, who were too few
in number to attack the Indians, or in
any way to arrest their work of butchery
upon the deiencless families that they
came upon.
They passed down the southwest side
Of the Chicesawhachee creek, and killed
MIR. William Jones, his wife and several
children. Mrs Jones was found by the
side of IA fence, with a small child by her
side; the child had its head broken, and
on the approach of the men opened its
eyes, but closed them in death nmedi-
ately. Joseph Hailowcll aud several of
his children were found doad-his wife
and one daughter were shot down while
cndcayoring TO make their escape to a
,hicket near the house, and were taken
up alive, though badly, if not mortaly
wounded.-Mr. Nix with all his family
were killed, except his wife, who at the
time was not with the family. John
Pagget his child, and Mrs Hayes, Ga
widow lady,) were among the slain
making l3 dead bodies that had been
found before Sunday night. The In
dians had with them about SO horses,
and passed on rapidly. None were
scalped, though the children were dread
fully mangled, appearing to have been
beaten to death with sticks aud lightwood
knots. From the repeated report of their
rifles, their is every reason TO apprchend
that many Of the citizens OF that county
have fallen prey to these monsters in
human shape. 1t was thought that they
would cross the Flint river at Newton,
and pass Immediately on to Florida
The inhabitants of Baker and Lee coun-
ties are quitting the country as fast as
they can get their families removed
some few are foriing, where they have
arms, (Which are very few, determined
10 live, or sell their lives as dearly as
possible upon their own lands.

has resigned his scat in the House OF Repre-

VIC presume, render it inconv venicnt for him to
continue in the Assembly. We cannot but
consider it q misfortune to the State, when a
man of Mr.. Tilighast's capacity for public
business, unsulied purity OF character, and
firm and consistent adherence to sound wing
principles, is induced from any cause, how
ever pressing, to withdraw from her public
councils. In this instance, we trust, that the
secession is but temporary, and that renova-
ted health. and more leisure, will speedily re-
store Mr. Il. to this sphere of his usefulness
and honor. Mr.. Tillnghast filled the Speak
er's chair for many sessions with uniform
credit to himself, and to the satisfaction. VIC
