! have been 50 constantly engaged in

that | have had no time 10 write TO nv
friends; and even now, steal a moment
from other business, 10 address you. The
delay Of the army, at this place, has given
dissatisfaction TO the people al a distance
from the scene, because they could not pro.
perly understand and appreciate the cause.
How was it possible for all army 10 be march.
ed into the enemy's country without arms,
ammunition or provisions, with any hope OF
beating tina, enemy And if the troops had
gone at any time before they did, what
would have been their condition. The De.
lay 10 the arrival Of the arms and other
munitions OF war, was unavoidable, and
gave Gen. Scott and myself as much pain,
| am sure, as any other individuals in this
State. Butthey at length arrived and the
army Immediately took the field These
movements were, no doubt communicated
to the enemy, and some three or four hun.
dred hostile warriors have surrendered to
the friendly Indians urder Cen Jesup, and
are now confined at For, Mitchell. Besides
these warriors, there are also al the fort some
six or eight hundred women and children
Of the hostile party. Among the prisoners
are Neah Mathla, Yellow Hadjoe, Dave
HardrIdge and many other chefs. Jun
Henry and his party, consisting of about
two hundred warriors, are all that now re.
main 10 be subdued and this will be soon
done.
Genls. Scott and Sanford, with the Geor.
gia troops are operating below, whilst Gen.
Jesup is doing the same with the Alabama
troops, and friendly Indians above and in
few days will, have no doubt, put close
to the war. In consequence of the force
placed on the line Of the Chattahoochie be-
low Columbus, the Indians could not escape
through Georgia to Florida many attempts
we're made without success, and when they
ascertalned that in this object they could
not succeed, and that large and oyerwhelm.
ing force, we'll armed, had taken the field
against them, they determined to surrender
at discretion, except, as stated, Jun Hen.
ry and his party, who are SO deep in guilt,
that they can have no hope Of pardon, and
may therefore have determined to sell their
lives as dear as possible. | am very aux.
lous TO be at home, but believing thai it is
my duty to remain here as long as can
render any service, have determined TO
do 50.

Webeartily congratulate the country that
the bill TO regulate the deposite Of the pub.
lie moneys, which originated with the Sen.
ate, has become a law. The Presidents
approval Of the ball made was known TO Con-
gress yesterday; and Il had already been
announced, earlier in the day, in the edl.
torial columns Of the Globe. Mr.. Clay re.
marked in his place upon this unusual fact
winch IS in keeping with other strange
things connected with the history Of this
important measure.
When the bill PASSED the Senate with a
vote Of 40 10 6, it was still confidently
ayerred that, If It also passed the House, II
would be vetoed by the President. But
the favor i, received in the House, from the
moment Of its introduction, added TO the
powerful vote by which II passed the Senate,
threw CONSERVATION and confusion into the
ranks Of those who would willingly have
contributed to defeat it, either in the House,
OF Representatives, or in the Palace, if not
there. Ii became necessary to find or make
some cause Of action, upon which the Pre-.
sident might change his course, and sign a
bill, which it had been inconsiderately gwen
out he would arrest by the exercise Of the
veto power.
As the bill went from the Senate 10 the
House, i, provided, in substance, tina, each
State, on receiving its ratable share Of the
surpIn. treasure, should give certificate,
pledging the faith Of the State for repay.
rnent, the certificate to be negotiable, and
subject to be sold IN the market, and to
bear interest on the refusal or neglect Of the
State to answer to call from the Secretary
OF the Treasury. Here was an efficient
means Of enforcing repayment, and Of doing
i, wlthou, bringing the Government of the
United States and that Of any one Of the
States into collision.
When the bill came up for consideration
in the House, II was amended, on motion OF

TEXAN Cbtkttf,
The General Assembly Of the Presbyic-

on the 10Th ult. On the 9TH, the Assem-.

report Of the committee appointed by The
