The express IN all of last evening brings us the fol-
lowing Intelligence:
MOBILE, May 9.-On his return from Mobile Point
Gov Clay issued an order, authorizing Lit. Reynolds,
of the Marine Corps, to accept and muster into ser
vice for three months thirty volunteers TO be organ
lied under the requsition OF Majsr Wilson, with
thority to elect their own officers. The reason as
signed is the unsettled saeof the country the amount
of public property at Mobile Point and the great num-
Der of Indians encamped there.
We are informed that in general the Creeks at the
Point not dissatisfied with their condition, de-
srCus to escape The party that crossed the Perdldo
contained no warriors. The Governors letter con-
cludes thus: "The order Of the Secretary of War
qures the removal Of all the Creek tribe from the limits
of this State you therefore earnestly requested to
collect and bring TO Mobile Point all such Indians
whcresoever they may be found"
The election for delegate TO Congress, to succeed
Col. White, took place in Florida last week. The re-
turns very scattering, and the result will hardly be
ascertaned fer several weeks. The candidates were
Gen. Reid, and Coils. Wyatt and Downing. In the
counties of Leon Gadsdsn, Jefferson, Jackson Wash
candidate is, Reid 8S4; Wyatt 669; Downing 443
We have intelligence from the Mississippi Lessla-
ture-up to the 26t': ult.
The old question about the right of the members
from the Chckasaw counties TO take their seats in the
House Of Representatives, was revived and their right
re-aflirmed. Three members of the Senate and as
many in the House, Immediately resigned their seats.
One of the senator's, Mr. Winch ster of Natchez, has
published card in which he seems to consider every
act of the Legislature VOID unconstitutional.
The law prohibiting the introduction Of slaves, into
the State IS merchandise, has passed both Houses,
with little opposition.
Another and equally wise method of relief adopted
by this Legislature, the manufacture of more Banks.
They have some thirty millions of bank capital-so 10
call chan tered licenses TO make Eanks, and they
multiplying them without stint. Three Bank Bills
have already passed-Bank of vicksburg-Citzens'
Bank of Madison county, and the Northern Bank of
millions Of dollars-more are to follow Banks IRE
asked for in half dozen new places-almost every
Rail Road has come to the Legislature for Banking
privlcges-and they go through the two houses as a
matter OF course.
The principal relief measure so called is the Post
Note system. Bill has passed one branch authorl-
sing the Banks Of the State to issue Post Notes. pay
able twelve months after date, bearing an interest o.
five per cent. They made receivable at par, IN oil
payments for debts and taxes due the State and debts
i due the Banks.
The Bill further lakes off the damages on foreign
protested Bills of Exchange, and imposes five per CT
damages domestic Bills and promissory Notes. The
discount, to be taken on Notes for which these Pos
/ Notes are given is fixed at nine per cent.
A report was made in the House of Representative
in favor Of inviting into the State, branch Of the
| States Bank. similar proposition was introduces
lntothe Senate and voted down.
The Brandon paper of the 10Th ult in a short para
graph confirms the report that the goal in that pac
has been torn down, but makes no serious repar
upon the causes Of the violence-Com. RegisF.
