papefs. We iearri from a passenger, that in- i telii^ence was received at Jacksonville just be fore she sailed, of the arrival of an express at St. Augustine from Gen. Jesup, who stated that Oseoia and Philip had expessed a deter mination not to surrender. We also learn from Capt. Willey, that the steamer Fiotida bad been dispatched from Biack Creek to St. Augustine, for the purpose of transporting troops to Musquito, for the establishment of a post at the latter place. PENSACOLA, MARCH 13. ? ' The mili tary force fitted out for the protection of the Frontier settlers of this County, as mentioned in our last, has returned. The most of the persons engaged in the expedition, got back on Wednesday last. They suffered much from wet weather and the difficulty of getting through the wilderness thev traversed, consis ting of swamps and marshes which had been i deemed entirely impassables. The party con sisted of thirty six mounted men. They pros ceeded at once to the crossing place at Mac- I dade's on Yeliow River ? went thence to the ! ferry on Shoal River and scoured the country to the Depot, at the head of East Bay. I They found no Indians, but the third day out they came upon the camp of some strange In dians, who seemed to have left it very recently, and to have gone eastward. The trail was pursued for some distance in that direction. The force sent from the Constellation, under Lieut. Ball, has also returned. It is evident that the fugitive Creeks, a num ber of whom have descended the Choctahat chie, are stili in the neighborhood of that Riv er. In time they will probably make their way in this direction, and the people here should be on their guard. Intelligence has been received fvom Mallet's landing, on La Fayette Bayou, that the Indians are roiming, in considerable numbers, in that neighborhood. Extract of a letter from an Officer of the United States Army, dated "Jacksonville, March 14. 44 We are in great hopes that the war is over, the chiefs, with the exception ofOcE ola, the renowned, have come in and agreed to be at Tampa Bay, with all their warriors and families, by the 10ih of April, and they have promised that Oceola shall be brought in by that time. "They have sent out runners in every direc tion to collect their scattered forces, and my , principal business out is to co-opera*e with these new allies, and collect the stragglers." eoluwtrta &elescoflt\ SATURDAY. APRIL 1. 1S3T We owe to the politeness of the Publisher a copy of a book lately published in Charles^ toil ? "The Natural History of the Negro race ? by J. H. Guenebauli." The work, from such slight glance as we have had leisure to give jt, appears to contain much iaformation, and some curious research. It may be had at Cunninghams. The Bank of Hamburg -is about to increase ? its capita}, according to the provisions of its ' cfharter. For the mode and terms, see advert tisemeot. The Secretary of the Treasury. ? M r . W ood - bury is remarkable for making wilder calcula tions than perhaps were ever produced by any financial minister who had any data from which to reason. His estimates are some - .times twenty or thirty millions wide of the "^ EarE^When he happens to make so small a mistake as only ten millions,itis regarded as a decided hit, and his friends applaud his accu* racy. It appears that the Secretary succeeds no abetter in calculating for himself than for the public. ft is said that he sent in an account to Mr Wise's committee for seven days at tendance, at two dollars per day, ?14, -when ?fee had attended only five days. This was a ?small mistake of four dollars iti fourteen : and .accordingly forty per cent was docked from ?-the account of the Secretary of the Treasury, auid the>baiance paid to him. ? 'The Charleston Courier accompanies the -publication of the letter of Santa Anna, (which appears in sur paper to-day) with an intima tion of ill faith on the part of Santa Anna. We do not think the letter obnoxious to the charge of violation of faith. We have never understood ihat Santa Anna entered into any engagements, eith ?r with our government or that of Texas, further than a very free expres sion of his opinion to the authorities of both, "that the conquest of Texas by Mexico was hope less, and further attempts to accomplish it impo!itic. We have heard that both in Texas and at Washington he continually avowed ?that in his then position he had no power to bind his country, and would not make the at tempt. It appears that he i3 about to put forth an -exposition of the campaign in which he was -overthrown; and we infer, from the following passage, that he will prospose to his govern ment the establishment of the Mexican line at the Rio del Norte. "In the interval, I shall devote my lime in compiling publishing a document detailing clearly the cir- j ?cumstances of the unfortunate campaign to Texas. IThis step is necessary to the public man, desirous ot ?preserving his reputation ; and he should be ever v^eady to sive the people an account or his conduct, ^and place it in a veritable point of view ; more espe cially, should he do this, when passion is enlisted gainst him. I shall also lay before Congress what I- conceive the most efficacious means to terminate the war, leaving them to adopt sifch measures as they may judge necessary ." The present authorities of Mexico no doubt contemplate a new invasion of Texas, and tor this purpose have a oonsiderabie force at Me tamoVas. To meet it, the. Texans have a re gular army of about 2000 men, and bOOO of the most efficient Militia in the world ? besides the habit of conquering. The result of a new | invasion, therefore, is not problematical. And as the Mexicans have proved by their conduct heretofore that they cannot be treated accord ing the to rales of civilized warfare, it will be a question of importance for the Texan govern ment, whether, when they have captured an. other army, the soldiers shall not be colonized within their own territories. The following diplomatic information is from the Richmond Enquirer . i;We understand that the Texan Miaisters would have eeen duly accredited and received by Mr. Van Buren, but for some defect in their credentials. was their intention to leave Washington on W ed nesday. Mr. Wharton will return to Texas, and Cen. Hunt will visit Vicksburg, whese he expects to receive his proper credentials, and will then ret urn to "the seat of Government. The best spirit prevails between the United States and Texas.' fieri. Jackson and the U. S. Bank. It is said that Gen. Jackson on leaving Washing- , ton for the Hermitage, took with him eighty thousand dollars, saved out of the Presidential salary, in notes of the U. IS. Bank. On the other hand, the Globe declares that he has saved nothing out of his salary, that he lived verv expensively, and barely had money enough to pay his expenses home. The statement of the Globj is not to be credited, for it is certain that Gen. Jackson has lived : much cheaper than any other President. At i his last and largest entertainment the chief j dish was a huge Yankee cheese, and he got j it for nothing. Generals Scott and Gaines. The Court of I enquirv has made a report, which has been approved by the President. In regard to their military conduct, both officers are acquitted of blame. As to other matters, the following censure is passed upon both. "The publication of Major General Gaines official report of July 4th, 1S36, with the sanction of that officer, is regarded 3s prejudicial to the pilblic ser vice and injurious to the discipline of the army. The expressions made use of by this officer in his sum mary evidence touching the operations of the Semi nole campaign, are pronunced "assertions, without facts or circumstances to sustain them, and unbe coming his, Major General Gaines's, high rank and station; rem irks and assertions which the Court condemns in the most decided terms of reprehen sion." '?The Court, in continuation, feels irself compelled to notice the censure in the letters of Major General Scott (spread upon the record of these proceedings) cast upon Major General Gaines in reference to his operations in Horida, and in atone of language that could not be otherwise than offensive to the latter General ; and in terms, the Court is of opinion, not called for under the circumstances of the case, and ought not to have been indulged in:" MR. VAN BUREN'SADMINST RATION. Our correspondent, "A Nullifier," and the Charleston Mercury, are somewhat at issue. The difference between them, however, is rather in terms than in substance. It is time that we should give our own views of the pre sent Administration. The new President avows his adherence to the old policy. His friends say that his is not a new administration, but a continuance of the old one. He has been elected by the Jackson Party, as a Jackson man; and is am ply pledged, in every variety of form in which pledges can be given, from the commence ment of the canvass to the inaugural speech, to persist in the policy and carry out the prin ciples of the Jackson administration. He comes into power pledged to the Proclamation, and its doctrines ? to the removal of the Depositee and its consequences ? to the Expunging ? to the Treasury order ? to the Spoils system. ? But for his approval of all the measures of Gen. Jackson, he could not have been Presi dent ; and he and his friends are bound, by the most solemn promises, to carry them out. It is plain, therefore, that a conscientious and honorable opposition to Gen. Jackson, is of necessity an opposition to Mr. Van Buren. It can be otherwise, only on one of two grounds; 1st, that his promises pre not entitled to faith ? and it is an awkward proposition that a President is to be sustained because he is not to be believed: ? or - 2d, thai what deserved reprobation in Gen. Jackson is praiseworthy or of doubtful import in Mr. Van Buren ? a sentiment obviously dishonest and factious. South Carolina, therefore, is by the new President himself placed in opposition to him. He comes into office in avowed hostility to her, her principles, and her wishes. He and South Carolina cannot be found together, un less one or the other change position. Mr. Van Buren declares in his inaugural that he has not changed by coming into office. Does his coming into offiee change us 1 We are not left, therefore, to consider of our attitude. It is prescribed to us by political necessity. As the case stands, it is the same as if Gen. Jackson had been elected for a third term. If the personal character of Mr. Van Buren, ? or his political necessities ? or his wisdom and patriotism? shall hereafter modify or change his policy, making it other or less exceptionable than that of his predecessor ? it will then be time to consider of such change or modifica tion, in the spirit which characterizes patriot ism as distinguished from faction ? in the spir it of caution, but of candor. South Carolina does not hold her principles so light, as to sur render thejTi because the President may adopt them ; nor can she be lured from them by ev ery hollow device that may be planned to win her. She will not throw down her waiTs for every Trojan horse that may be presented 5 while at the same time it would not consist ei ther with her honor or her safety, to reject with petulance any overture which may be made in good faith. The professions, in the inaugural, of States Rights principles and adherence to the Con stitution, we regard as utterly illusory and vain ? words of course ? chaff. On the other hand, the distinct avowal, in that speech, of a course of action upon the abolition question, wo feel bound in candor to say has meaning, and an important meaning. While we take the President's declaration, on this subject, in good part, it might seem ungracious to canvass his motive, and we therefore forbear to do so. For whatever the motive may be, the act is a laudable one, a id gains a point for us in the fearful game we are engaged in with the abo litionists. Ma. Editor, ?

The advance of a halfpenny on Cotton, with some account of sales in Manchester, received by private let ters, together with a more favorable appear ance of the British money market, was good news indeed, when for days past, every ac>. count from every quarter seemed to be teeming with bad tidings. All this will not be without its favorable effect upon our Banks, and our Merchants, who were yesterday so fearful that when the next packets went out large quantities of specie must go in thern.

If made d uble, they reduce labor, and gin just double the quantity of cotton over the Single ^lin dcrGin, no other kind having been in use previous to this patent ; and whether single or double, they are found to improve the quality of the cotton by , more perfectly cleaning it. They -can be made tc contain from 20 to 100 saws in a stand, and whether small or large, one hand will be sufficient to attend them The Gins have mechanical feeders and hop ners attached to them, which free the cotton from Fcaves trash, dirt, &c. before it can reach the saws, and by the thorough hackling operation it receives from the feeders, which make two revolutions to one of the saws, it is almost m a half gined state, be. or it descends to the saws. By a very simple arrange ment. of a screw to each set of grates, on the hoppers rest, and through which the teeth oi the feeders pass, they can he made to feed slow or fast to suit the condition of the cotton at the time When made double, the saws are placed on two sets of cylinders an 1 turn upon each other in opposite directions, and are cleansed by two sets that have 4 revolutions to one of the saws 1 he two cylinders can be detached so as to enable the plant er to run one or both at pleasure, although embraced with feeders, &c. in one stand. The whole is pjt in operation with a drum and band, as in the ordinary Gin, and may be propelled by iron running gear. The force required to work it, is about the same as that necessary to move an equal number ot saws in the common Gin. This Gin has been put in opera tion in New Orleans for two or three weeks, and its success tested in the presence of a arge number ot planters, merchants and others, and received their ceneral approbation. , . , Several gentlemen have 1 een so kind as to give the Patentee their written opinion respecting the merits of the Gin. A iMmbcrof others could be add ed but the following are deemed sufficient : I From His Excellency Gov. White of Louisiana. New Orlcaus, February 27, 1837. Dr. A. Jones: Sir -In reply to your inquiry, what I think of your improved ^ttonGin, I have to say, that I saw it work on Saturday ?the ^5th inst and was very much pleased with its perform ance. The mere fact of its self-feediag, seems to me to be a very valuable improvement ^ and besides, the quality of the cotton, as it comes ont of the process, appeared to me to be better and cleaner than from the common Gins in use, and that it saves conndeca bly in labor. Respectfully, &c. R D WHITE From Mr. J. Compton, a wealthy planter, resident in the P arish of Rajnde , Louisiana. , Dr Jonks: Dear Sir ? 1 have examined your Patent Cotton Gin, with feeders, &c And have seen it in operation,and approve of itso highly, that I have taken the liberty of ordering one for my plan tation in time for the next crop. Yours respectfully, y COMpTO?_ New Orleans, Feb. 26, 1837. From A. Longer, an experienced and eminent Cotton Broker ot New Orleans i New Orleans, February 28, 1837. Dr. Jones : Dear Sir? In answer to your note of this morning, I will state, that I have carefully exara ined your new Patent Cotton Gin, and have found it far superior to those generally used in this State ; it cleans the cotton much better, and gives it a much better appearance. 1 hope, for the good of the coun try it may become duly appreciated. Yours sincerely, A. LONGER. From Messrs. Forestall High Co. Commission i Merchants. Dr A Jones : Dear Sir?

One set of feeders, it is considered however, will wear oat two or three sets of saws. Extra saws supplied at 80 cents each. The gins ordered will be delivered to the agents of planters in any of the sea port towns of the cot ton planting States, at the above prices, the agents paying the freight on l^e same from New York, and becoming rcs]>on8i! le for the amount of the Gin. It is desirable, when planters give orders for gins, they should accompany them with their views in regard to the arrangement of saws, breasts, brushes, &c. It is found they differ in opinion. Some desire saws of larger diameter than otherp. The roost common size is 9 or 10 inches ; but some wish them 12 inches. Some wish 5 or 6 rows of brushes on an axle, while others do not want more than 4 at moat. Some wish saws with 8 or 9 teeth to the iijch, while others want 10 or 11. With s ? much discrepancy, w e prefer they should, at tho time of giving orders, furnish a statement of their wishes, and the manu facturers can fulfil them in every particular. Where it is left to our discretion, we shall make them on tho most modern and approved plan. An~order can bo executed, fiom the time it is received, in the *pace of eight or nine weeks, and the Gin in that timo placed in the hands of the factor. To bo in time for the next crop, all orders ought to be in the hands of the manufaeturers by the first or middle of May ; except for plantations where they are late in com mencing to pick or gin cotton. , , I/fr-:*-* ' > ' N.
