Rv order of the Executive Committee,
ALBERT PICKET, sen, President

GEN JEssUrs CAMPAIGN's.-Gon. Jessnp has
communicated to the Secretary Of tho War de-
oartment an official report of his doings in Flor
ida with their results. He acquits himself OF the
Charge Of bad faith to Osccola, and the \. i.
Commercial In commenting upon the report, re-
marks that he is in possession OF fcts which con
firm the statements of Gen. Jesup, and show sut-
ficientlv that in the capture of that willy Savage
there was no violation of faith or honor. 1t APP
pcars from the report that since Gen. Jesup as
sumed the command in Florida, the whole num-
Der of Indians and negroes killed and taken, is
about 2i00. The expenses computed (not
in the report, however,) at about S2o,000,ooo;
whereby it seems, on ejaculation, that the cos,
of killing and capturing these Indians and negroes
has been about $3.50 for each man, woman and
child.

Meek twilight draws her shadowy gray
From tufted woods, and valleys low,
Lights magic colours steal away.
Yet still, amid the spreading gloom,
Resplendent glow the western waves
That roll DER Ncptune's coral caves
A zone of light on evenings dome.
On this lone summit lc: me rest,
And view the forms to fancy dear,
Till on the oceans darkcn'd breast,
II. 'tars of evening tremble clear;
Or the moons pale orb appear,
Throwing her light of radiance wide
Far DER the lightly curling tide.
No sounds DER silence now prevail.
Save of the murm'ring brook below,
Or sailors song borne on the gale,
Or oar at distance striking slow.
So sweet, SO tranquil may my evening ray
Set to this world-and rise in future day.

GEORGE BANCROFT, the author Of the
History of the U. States, has been appointed
Collector of the Customs for the City of
Boston. The Madisonian thus notices his
appointment;
George Bancroft has been appointed
Collector Of the Customs for the ports Of
Boston and Charlcstown, in the place of
David Henshaw. resigned. Mr.. Bancroft,
is one Of the finest scholars of the country.
and perhaps the ablest historian of the age.
His history Of America, the second volume
OF which has just been published, has been
considered equal to Gibbons History of the
Roman Empire, in point of profound his
torlcal research and philosophical acumen.
We know not how he may fancy an exchange
of his delightful literary retirement for the
turmoil Of large commercial Custom
House."

He has refused to set upon his table 70

little bull beef and sour-crout, which ar.
not wholesome and necessary for the public
good,
He has refused to lei his only servan
blink-eyed Joe put more than six grains o
coffee to one gallon of water.
He has turned loose multitude Of flea.
and swarms ofbed bugs, to assail us in the
peaceful hours of the night and eat our sub
stance.
He has kept up in our beds and bed-stead'
standing armies of these merciless savage:
with their scalping knives aud tomahawks
whose rule Of warfare is undistinguished
destruction.
He has excited domestic insurrectior
amongst US. by getting drunk before break
fast aud making his wife and servant so be.
fore dinner, whereby there is often the devi
to pay.
He has waged cruel war against nature
herself by feeding our horses with broom
straw; and carrying them of to drink where
swine refused to wallow.
He has protected one-eye Joe in his vii
lainy, in the robbery of our jugs, by pretend
ing to give him mock trial. after sharing
with him the spoil.
He has cut off our trade with foreign ports
and brough, in his ball-faced wI,iskey, when
we sent him to buy better liquor abroad and
with a perfidy scarcely parallcled in the
most barbarous ages, he has been known to
drink our foreign spirits and fill our bottles
with the mos; dire portions.
He has imposed taxes upon us, to an
enormous amount, against our consent, and
without any rule bui his own arbitrary will
and pleasure.
A Landlord whose character is thus marked
by every act which may define tyrant and
miser, is unfit to keep boarding house
for Cherokee Indians.
Nor have we been wanting in our atten-
ton to Mrs. s.. or Miss Sally. We
have appealed to their native justice and
magnanimity we have conjured them to al
ter state of things which would inevitably
interrupt our connection and correspon-
dcnce. They, too, have been deaf TO the
voice of justice. We are therefore, con-
strained to hold all three Of these parties
alike inimical to our well being and regard-
less of our comfort.
We therefore, make this solemn declara-
ton of our final separation from our former
landlord, and cast our deGnancc at his teeth.

ENCOURAGEMENT OF LITERA-
TURE BY GOVERNMENT.
The legitimate mode of encouraging lit
erature by Government is the advancement
to civil stations of those individuals who
have distinguished themselves in intellcctu-
al pursuits. This should be the reward of
literary or scientific merit in republic
In the absence of system Of pensions, by
thus uniting civil with literary honors, &C.
MUS is hattered and patronizcd, while the
! republic is served and elevated. General
Jackson gave his administration the crown
ing grace that embelished great name,
when he placed Mr.. Wheaton as Minister
near the Court Of Denmark, and Messrs.
Irving and Lcgare in Diplomotic situations
i'll London and Brussels, Mr.. Van Buren,
seems no less anxious to pursue this liberal
this sagacious path, He has constantly
promoted to office those whose literary &C.
MUS and requirements render their advance
rnent an act flowing from the justice which
should mark the Chief Magistrate of a re-
public, instead of the mere grace and be-
niiicc which characterize such promotions
in Monarchy. The late appointment of
Mr.. Bancroft to the collectorship of Boston
is an acknowledgment Of this principle
which even political enemies applaud, while
iris theme for exultation to political friends
Mr.'Bancroft by his history of the United
States has earned the chaplet of history
With Mr. Wheaton's History of the North
men. and MIR. Prescott's History of the
Reign Of Ferdinand and isabella of Spain
it will elevate the literary character of the
U. States"
This is the system Of literary reward in
France, but not in Great Britain. The for
mer recompenses her men Of genius by Civ
ing them oifices-the last by giving them
pensions. The first not only confers ciril
distinctions on her citizens made llustrious
by science, but decorates them with orders.
1t is but short step from she Institute to
the Councl-from the Lccturcship to the
Maeistracy-from simple Citizenship to the
Pecrago. In this manner all the talent
which is available by enlarged study and
high intellectual cultivation is enticed into
the service Of the State. 1t is founded in
narrow prejudice that literary or scientific
pursuits disqualify for civil station. All
