THE LETTER TO MIR. CALHOUN

any thing could excite surprise ane
spirit of indignant resentment, in this
day of strange and unheard of assump
tions, the attempt Of General Jackson tc
violate the settled and well known priv
lege of a member of Congress, as tc
any matter spoken by him in debate, by
the letter addressed to MIR. Calhoun, re-
ferred to in Thursdays proceedings,
would produce that effect. Such an at
tempt in England, or France, would be
visited with the severest reprehen nsion
Of Parliament, and do more to shake
the monarch on his throne, than any
other outrage he could offer TO his sub
jects. In this country, however, where
we arc nornnally free, and parade our
selves SO nightly upon our Republican
spirit, it will be received, we predict,
with all due meekness, and be consider
ed as another evidence of the sound
sense and discretion, as well as inhexi-
bic spirit Of our impeccable Chief Mag
istratc. Not word, it seems, was ut
tered ir the Senate, by the friends Of the
Administrations defence of its privileg
es, or in rebuke of this high-handed pro-
ceeding ALI was silent submission and
peaceful acquiescence. How indeed
could the noble fraternity Of Black
Knights, after what has recently trans
pired in the Senate, dare to open their
lips in opposition to the "greatest and
best'" Is it not settled point, that the
members Of that body, if they have an
opinion in reference to the President, ARE
to keep it to themselves and not to pre-
sumo to utter it!
We had hoped, that Gen. Jackson
would have Withdrawn from the Presi-
dency, with some reputation for ordinary
good sense and decent reverence for
the forms Of the Constitution. But il
seems that our hopes are not to be real
ized. He is determined "to play out the
play" and to leave posterity no chance
to doubt his real intentions and charac-
ter

MORE INDIAN DEPREDATIONS.

"Mr. Rossau who arrived in this place to-
day, informs us that on Tuesday, the Oath
inst, Lieut.. J. M. Smiley, of Capt. Reeds
company, stationed at the Mineral Springs,
was shot by party oflndians near the house
OF MIR. Sykes, his iathcr-in-law, with whom he
lived. Mr.. Sykes residence is five miles
from the Springs, on the road leading to Lev
ngton's ferry on the Suwannee river.
Lieut.. Smiley was about $50 yards from
the house engaged in cutting wood when he
was shot. Three balls took effect-one in
his body, one in the head, and one in the arm
He was killed instantly and scalped.
Mr.. Sykes was in his corn houso--hearing
the shouts and yel,s of the Indians, he ran for
his house, amid volley Of shots from the In-
dians. He closed the door, The Indians
made furious attack upon the house con-
tanning Mr.. and Mrs. Sykes and Mrs. Smiley
and child, aud two or three negro womcn.-'
MIR. Sykes defended the house by keeping up
Ia fire on the assalants, supposed to be from
25 to so in number. The attack was COM
menced at half past three o'clock, p. IN. and
continued TIL after dark. The house is liter
ally cut up with bullets.
After dark Mr.. Sykes raised plank from
the floor, SO as to get out negro woman,
whom he sent to the Springs to notify the
men there to como to his relief. She succeed
cd, and party Of nine men reached the
house by eleven o'clock. The Indians had
retired. None Of the inmates of the house
were wounded, although bullets passed
through the clothes Of some Of them. Mr.
Sykes is confident he wounded or killed four.

LATE FROM FLORIDA.

\ By slip from the office of the Savannah
Georgian, (by the express mail,) dated the 20
inst we have intelligence from Jacksonville
to the 2Sth Of January,and from Gen. Jesup'.
army to the lSth both inclusive. The infor.
nation is at once painful and encouraging
inasmuch as from one quarter we hear of new
murders by the Indians, and from another OF
Frightening prospects Of a successful issue to
the. war.
From the Jacksonville Courier of the Goth
and 2Slh of January.
! Col. Warren who returned last Friday from
Fort Drane, has favored us with the following
information, given him by the Quarter Mas
ter at Fort Drane, and ut that time Just ar
riv, from the army
Gen. Jesup was on trail of Indians lead
ing toward the Wacasassa county-and in
tended TO pursue, if possible, the trial where
ever it led, till he overlook the Indians.
! The Indians dfe, it is supposed, scattered
in small parties through the country.
! On the 18th inst. the Alabamians under
General Jesup came upon an Indian on the
west side-efthe Withacoochee, while he was
in the act of skinning beef Seeing himself
surrounded he made no resistance, nor en-
deavored to escape, but gave himself up with
good grace, prisoner OF war.
! This Indian states that he belongs to a
town situated on the West side Of the With
lacoochce, at which are about one hundred
lndlans-warriors, women and childrcn-and
that they are willing, and wish to give them
selves up-and would have done so some
time ago had they not feared the whites would
kill them. The Indian offered to point out
The town to the army.
Maj. Graham, with about 200 men and the
Indian tor guide, proceeded on the 18th
inst for the town.
The Indian also states that the other tribes
are willing to come in to the WITHSTAND
that all his warriors, except fifty or sixty, ,have
left Oseola.
A party of about ITO men arrived at Fort
Drane OH the 18th inst. with orders to proceed
against Alligator's tribe on the Ochlawaha,
and to proceed thence around Orange Lake,
securing the country between the lake and
St. Johns river, to Black Creek.
The body of Mr.. S. Rocks was found on
Thursday last about five miles this side of
Santa Fe bridge, and near the place where
MIR. Dell's negroes were captured, two bullet
holes through it-scalp lped-and plundered Of
the pantaoons. The trails of five Indians
were discovered about the body. The horse
was found shot dead not far from the body

up.

On examination next morning, at the four
spots pointed out by Mr.. s. where he thought
the Indians were shot by him, blood was
found, indicating that some execution was
done-and one Indian was found shot through
the heart Mr.. S. had seven guns in his
house.
The inhabitants who had returned to their
homes in that section columbia county, are

/ The Mobile Mercantile Advertiser of Feb.
I'd, says:
/ The steamboat Champion, Capt. Murray,
brings the following good intelligence, deriv-
ed from passengers on board the cutter JEFF
ierson, at Pensacola, three days from Tampa
Bay. The intelligence is, that the celebra-
ted Indian, called Jumper, and the negro
Abraham have been captured; and that Ose-
ola himself barely made his escape, with only
five followers, in the direction Of the South
General Jesup was making every effort for
the capture Of the bold and persevering chief.
The sloop Of war Concord, with Commodore
Dallas on board, was expected at Pensacola
in about week. The Vandaia had taken

GEN. BRAVO AT METAMORAS.
The New Orleans Echo of Feb. ], says,by
an arrival Of yesterday evening, we learn that
General Bravo had arrived at Mctamoras on
the Oh utimo, in advance Of the troops under
his command. When the vessel sailed, which
was the 22d, several detachment of troops had
come in, and others to the number Of 3O00 are
expected. Quantities Of military stores had
also been brought in,among which were seen
portable bat,eaux for crossing rivers, &c. In
fact, the material preparations for invasion
seem far more complete than before, but
still the great material Of all is said to be
wanting as complaints are not suppressed of
no pay having for some time been received.
Thus the note Of preparation for the invasion
Of Texas is more than sounded.

FiRE.-A fire broke out on Saturday eve
ming !ast in the large two story wooden
building situated on William street, owned
and occupied by Mr.. Samuel Billings. The
upper story was improved as cigar manu.
factory and the lower for weaving cotton
webbing. The building was nearly destroy
ed. Some of the goods and a steam engine
lately erected were saved. Mr. Billings loss
is estimated at 81 500; there being no insur-
ance. The property had been insured, but
the policy was broken by the introduction of
the engine; and whilst preliminary arrange
ments were in train for effccting a new in
surance, the conhagration occurred. Mr. B.
is very Industrious and worthy citizen, and
he will receive the sympathy of the COM
munity for his heavy loss.
We are surprised to see how often it is re-
marked, that ''the fire took place just qfler the
expiration of the insurance." Ifpeople gen.
orally followed the course adopted by one Of
our wealthest houses, to have their policy
renewed twenty-fom hours before it has ex-
PRED we should seldom hear such statements
