booh be need o? any more troops than are now enlisted. Internally Texas is in a flourishing condi tion, her planters are all busily engaged with their crops, which is said to be very promi sing, while in the towns, the inhabitants are actively employed in preparing houses for stores, offices, &c. The emigration tc the country is already very considerable and in creasing every day. What a contrast is now presnled between the two contending countries. Mexico pros trate, bankrupt and threatened with ail the horrors of another revolution, is incapable of * self-government and lacks the power to pre serve order even in her very capital. Riots, robberies and assassinations are the order of the day and individuals no longer feel any safe> ty under the protection of the government. In Texas on the contrary every thing is secure and prosperous. The citizen pursues his daily avocations with a full consciousness that no danger threatens him, and confidence, cheerfulness and industry every where prevails. The value of claims of ail kinds are advan cing considerably and much eagerness seems to prevail in the country for the purchase of titles to lands. This impetus is owing in some measure to the additional confidence in the success of their cause, which the acknow ledgement of our government has inspired. Among the passengers who camp up in one of the schooners, is Gen. Feiix Houston of the Army, and Chief Justice Collingsworth, of the Supreme Court^of the Republic. ^ yiarion^ Texas , March 27. ?

Knock, from Garey's Ferry via Jack sonville, we have received the Jacksonville Courier of Thussday last. Extracts from it wilt be found subjoined. In addition, we learn from passengers in the George Washington, that an express from Gen. Jessup, arrived at Jacksonville on Thurs day last with dates of the 7th, but nothing definite was gleaned from him. One of the indefinite reports was that neither Philip or Oseoia had come in, nor was Abraham in camp when the Express left. Geo. Jesup, it is said, advises the citizens not to return to their homes until he announces that it wouid be safe, and to prevent colli sions between the whites in the possession of the Indians, which would probably lead to renewed hostilities. Gen. J. it is reported wiH not permit any citizen to approach with in 15 miles sf bis Encampment. The intelligence- from Tomoka, is far from encouraging and we are, we confess at some loss to derive the cause of Gen. Hernandez's movement, unless it is in pursuance of orders ! received from Gen. Jesup, based on inform^ alien which has not been divulged to the pub lic.-. Perhaps the dilatory course of many with their failure to comply with the articles ; e? the capitulation, or thieir appearance in sane force, at Tomoka, has caused the move ? * Tuiie will inform us. Until then, we must ; ? be content to hope that Florida will soen be delivered of a race, who have hitherto retard- ! ? ed her prosperity, and destroyed the cherished lisppiness of her enterprising population. s Front ike Jacksonville Courier , 13 th inst . [ - From the best information received at this j place, we think the Indians are mostly retir- j tng from the Alachua section, where they liave hitherto so often sho*n themselves. LL Col. Mills, in a letter to the Editor, ; dated Fort Gilliland, April 5th, 1837, says that &e has been actively engaged ? that he has bet 2 ; tkwst constantly on horseback with strong i ?detachments scouring the country, and has ifound no Indians. He expresses the hope Chat all have retired to their limits south of Hillsborough. CoL Mills will probably remain active in the field during the time -our troops i "are continued in the service. From a tetter dat^d Fort Gilliland, April -3d, 1837, freoi the same gentleman, to Col. Warren, we extract the following : ? returned to this post to-day from the mistering in of the companies, inspecting, {4fcc*4tfMi shall have to devote several days Captain Webster, to complete the rolls, f liave scoured out the whole country north and west of the Santa Fe, and along the Su wanee to the mouth of the Santa Fe, and Itchatuckney, and do not believe there has been an Indian any where there in a month. A jieat many camps were found in the ham gaocks which they ha?l occupied and aban doned. I hope they have all gone in to Gen. Jesup. Maj. Fauntleroy, with two companies Dragoons and a train of wagons, has ar? gifted here, and goes in the morning to Suwa oefe Old: Tjpwn. No traces of Indians are to J be found south of this about the Prairie. Frow aaother letter, from the same to the jame, dated Fort GaHiland, April 7th, 1837 , ""we extract the following : " ^Nothing in ? ?ccujred since my last re port of any -c msequence. Scouts are now v out "below Waeahouta, and Suwanee Old Town." Inaddition to the abeve, we iearn that the army has marched with the Indians who have surrendered, upon Tampa Bay. By the arrival of gentlemen from St. Au gustine, we learn that Geo. Hernandez, with upwards of 200 men, is at Tomoka. He went there some days ago, and he had en camped near the ruins of Judge Dunham's buildings. Indians fires have been seen in that section, and a few Indians. Some were fired on by a sentinel. One of the soldiers wandering about three hundred yards from the encampment or pickets, was shot, scalped, ??d his head cut off. The steamer Florida wbicfe transported these troops from St. Au gusUse to that place, is still there and detained tor want of wood. Capt. Helme, of the sloop Splendid, being ajso employed in the trans portation, has been ordered back to St. Augus tine, and directed to take in wocd at the latter place for the Florida. Report says that there are Indians in con siderable force in that neighborhood ? and Gen. Hernandez is prevented by them trom cutting wood for the Florida ? and that there fore he sent to Augustine Tor it, &c. We doubt if there are Indians in that section now. If our forces at their debarkation at Tomoka, bad spread to the breeze the white flag, th ? Indians; unless decidedly hostile, would in all probabilitv, have in a peaceable manner visi ted the General. So contradictory are the reports respecting this movement of Gen. Hernandez, that we can state very little, for the accuracy of which we can vouch. , Through the politeness of Cot. Warren, i ( and Maj. Hart, we are favored with an attest ed copy of the articles of peace lately enter I ed into by the Seminole chiefs and Gen. Jesup, and also a copy of a letter from Gen. Jesup to Col. Warren ? both of which are in our paper of to-day. We have nothing later from that quarter. The tenth of April is past. Whether the next intelligence we receive will be that the main body of Indians is at Tampay Bay pre ' paratory to removal is problematical. Stealing- parties acknowledging no author i ity of the chiefs, it is expected will still remain in the country to do mischief if possible, i These must be hunted out, or our settle** i ments will not be safe. A detachment of Capt. Dell's company re* turning' on Tuesday last from a scouting expedition, reported two hundred mules and four Indian poneys taken in Payne's Prairie. H a d Quarters, Army of the South, ) Fort Dade, March 29th 1837. $ Colonel ? I enclose you a copy of the ca pitulation entered into by the chiefs of the Seminole nation in behalf of themselves and the nation, which it would perhaps be well to have published in the papers of the Territory for the information of the people. By one of the articles you will observe that the Indians are to move to the south of the Hillsborough river by the 1st of April. The chiefs, 1 am sure, are anxious to fulfil their engagements, but there are no doubt many parties of Indians strolling over the country, regardless of the authority of the chiefs. They should be driven out, and I have to request that you keep your Territorial troops as actively employed as possible in se curing the country within the settlements confided to your protection. I will give similar instructions to Lt. Col. Crane. There is no disposition on the part of the great body of the Indians to renew hostilities ; and they will, I am sure, faithfully fulfil their engagements if the inhabitants of the Terri tory be prudent ; but any attempt to seize their negroes or other property, would be followed I by an instant resort to arms. I have some I hopes of mducingthe Indians and the Indian ! negroes to unite in bringing in the negroes ! taken from the citizens during the war. I am, I Colonel, most respectfully, your oh't. serv't: { THOS. S. JESUP, Maj. Gen. Com'ng. Col. J. Warren, Com'ng Florida Militia and Volunteers, Jacksonville, Florida. Tallahassee. April 5.

Statue of John C. Calhoun. ? The following subscription paper, we learn, has been generally cir culated in Washington during the past winter : "We agree to subscribe the annexed sums for the erection of a statue to JOHN C. CALHOUN, in to ken of the gratitude and admiration we feel towards him, for his able and gallant defence of the constitu tion during the ard?u>us struggle of South Carolina to maintain the rights of the South and < f the States; and especially for his able and conclusive vindication of those rights in the Senate of the Uni ted States during the session of 1832-33." This is but justice? it is due to the honor and intel ligence of every age, that monuments of its wisdom and virtue should be sent down to futurity, in pillars, over which the decaying hand of time passes with a slow and unseen effect ? that future generations, while they turn t le admiring gaze on the history of the past, may find for every bright shadow of their retrospective vision, a substantial and enduring im age. Than John C. Calhoun, the present generation may not, perhaps, have ever the pleasure 9f trans mitting to those wnt> W?! after them, a purer specimen of all that is highland worthy in the charac ter ot our race. We rejoice that his friends have taken this step. Subscriptions to the amount required will be readily raised, ai.d no pains should be neglected in the execution of the work, to procure artists every way capable of doing it full justice ? Mobile Chron The Chronicle is entirely mistaken in say ing that the subscription was generally circu lated at Washington. It was confined exclu sively to our own delegation ; except that a member from New York, Mr. Gillet, surrepti tiously and dishonorably obtained a copy, which he communicated to the Globe, and that paper, with its'iccustomed disregard of truth, asserted ' that it had been circulated, knowing the fact to be otherwise. Mr. Gillet received a repre mand trom a distinguished member of our delegation, in such poignant terms that he will long remember the affair. The project of making some suitable memo rial of the vigorous and commanding part sustained by Mr. Calhoun in the Nullification contest, was suggested by a gentleman of this State, to whom was shewn, during the last summer, a gorgeous silver vase, which the munificence of the citizens of Boston had pre sented to Mr. Webster, for the part he bore in opposition to the South Carolina doctrines in the Senate of the United States. This seem ed to be claiming the victory, and erecting a trophy in commemoration of it. It was, be sides, a magnificent memorial of the grat'tude and admiration of Mr. Webster's fellow citi zens. Have we less to be proud of than they? ? less cause for gratitude and admiration 1 ? of less liberality to invoke the powers of Art for the illustration and perpetuation, throughout all time, of the complacency with which South ! Carolina regards the conduct and services of ! her representative on the occasion which call j ed forth the expression of the people of Boston ' towards theirs ! Never was a State more no ! bly represented in its pride, its courage, and ' its intellect ? and, let us add, never was there a more glorious and triumphant vindication of j right? than in the victorious speeches of Mr. Calhoun on that occasion. The evetlts of that day have passed. They j are matters of history. The actors in them j have closed that portion of their lives, and it is beyond the reach of contingencies. Their fu ture destinies are subject to the casualties of mortality. Agamemnon and Ulysses were winderers and outcasts, but the Iliad had been performed. Sculpture is the grandest of the Arts, and its works are the most durable of human pro ductions. It is a reproach to the State that we have no specimen of this charming art among us. Whatpieee of history better de* serves to be eternally recorded, than the Nul Ji6caCi on contest? The statue which it Lb proposed to erect, while doing honor to an in dividual worthy of it, will at the same time always bring to remembrance the namu and the events or Nullification. Boston presents silver to her representative. ? South Carolina honours her's in marble History must decide who has the right to erect the trophy ? and the world will judge which is done in the best taste. VVe give the following as a specimen of the legislation of our ancestors. Most of the laws of the period at which this was enacted are not only now entirely unknown, but we believe have never before been in print. This is copied from the second volume of the Statutes at Large, now in the press, prepared by Dr. Cooper. We will give other curious extracts hereafter. Att a parliament held at Charlestowne, at the house of Mr. Anthony Lawson, the eighth day of December , 1691, Annoque Regni Regis et Regince *** tertio. AN ACT for the Better Observance of the Lord's Day, commonly called Sunday. FORASMUCH as there is nothing more accepta ble to Almighty God than the true sincere perform ance of and obedience to the most divine service and worship, which although at all times, yet chiefly upon the Lord's Day, commonly called Sunday, ought soe to be done, but instead thereof many idle, loose and disorderly people doe wilfully profane the same in tipling, shooteing, gameing, and many other vicious exercises, pastimes and meetings, whereby ignorance prevails and the just judgement of Almighty God may reasonably be expected to fall upon this land if the same by some good orders be not prevented : Be it therefore enacted by the Palfatine and the rest of the Lords and absolute Proprietors of this Province, by and with the consent of the Commons in this present Parliament assembled, and it is here by enacted by the authority of the same, that from and after the ratification hereof, all and every per son and persons whatsoever shall on every Lord's Day apply themselves to the observation of the same by exercising themselves **** of piety and true religion ; and that no tradesman, artificer, workman, labourer or any other person whatsoever shall use or exercise any woildly labour, businesse or worke of their ordinary calling on the Lord's day or any parte thereof, (workes of necessity or charity only excepted( ; and that every person being of sixteene yeares or upwards offending in the premises shall for every such offence forfeit the summe of five shil lings for each person every day. And that noe per son or persons whatsoever shall publickly cry, shew forth or expose to sale or sell any wares, merchan dises, fruits, herbes, goods or chattells whatsoever, upon the Lord's Day or any part thereof, upon paine every person so a offending shall forfeit the said goods soe cryed and showne forth or so exposed to sale or sold. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid, that noe planter, butcher or heigler or oflv of their servants or slaves, or any otner person fr persons whatsoever, shall use, employ, or lKvel upon the Sabbath day with any boate, w^wry, canoe or periaugaw, (except it be upon some case of necessi ty or publick worship), upon paine that every per son soe offending shall forfeit tho summe of five shillings for every such offence ; or if any taverne or publick house keeper shall sell any wine, beere, punch or other lioquor whats(>ever, (unless it be for necessary occasions, for lodgers or sojourners,) upon paine that every person every time soe offending shall forfeit the summe of five shillings. And be it further enacted by the authority aforesaid^ that if any master, mistresse or overseer shall cause or encourage any slave or slaves to worke on the Sabbath day, shall forfeit for every offence for every slave the summe of five shillings. And whereas the odious and loathsome sis of drunkenness hath of late growne into common use within this province, being the roote and foundation of many other enormous sins, Be it theref yre enacted by the authonty aforesaid, that all and every person and persons that shall after the ratification of this Act be drunke, shall forfeit the summe of five shil lings for every such oflencd. And forasmuch as profane sweareing and curseing is forbidden by the word of God, Be it further en - acted by the authority aforesaid, that noe person or persons shall after the ratification hereof profanely sweare or curse, upon paine of forfeiting seaven pence halfpenny for every such oath or curse. And be it further enacted, that if any person or per sons offending in any of the premises shall be there of convicted before a Justice of the Peace of the county where the said offence shall be committed, in his view or confession of the party, or proofe of any one or more witnesses upon oath, which the said Justice is hereby empowered to give and administer, the said Justice shall give a warrant under his hand and seale to the Constable or Constables where such offence or offences shall be committed, to seize the said goods cryed, shewne or put to sale as aforesaid, and to sell the same, and to leavy the other forfeit ures or penalties by way of distresse or sale of the goods of every such offender distrained, rendering to the offender the overplus of the money raised f thereby. And in default of such distresse or in ense , of insufficiency or inability of the said offender to pay the -said forfeitures or penalties, that then the , party offending do sett publickly in the stocks for the space of two houres. And all and singular forfeit ures or penalties aforesaid shall be by the Justice delivered to the Treasurer for the use of this country; save only that it may be lawful to and for such Jus tice out of the said forfeitures and penalties to reward ? any person or persons that shall informe of any offence against this Act, soe that such rewafd ex* ceed not the third part of the forfeitures and penal ties; and that the said Treasurer be aecountuble to the Parliament for the same. Provided that nothing in this Act contained shall extend to the prohibition of dressing meate in fami lies, or dressing and selling meate in taverns or vic tualling houses for such as otherwise cannot be pro vided, nor the cryeing or selling of milke before nine in the morning or after foure in the afternoon on Sunday. Provided alsoe that noe person shall be, prosecuted or molested for any offence before men tioned in this Act, unlesse he be prosecuted for tho same within tenn day es after the offence committed. Read three times , past and ratified in open Parliament, this eleventh day of December , Anno Dom. 1691. SETH SOTHELL, G. MUSCHAMP, W. DUNSTON, HENRY SYMONDS: The Senate of Massachusetts has retracted the resolutions concern ng abolition, which they lately passed. This docs not alter the view of the matter that we took last Week* as the resolutions of the House have been adopted by both bodies. In a late city election in New York the Whig party have obtained the superiority) by a majority of several thousand votes. In Connecticut, the late representatives in Congress, all of whom are friendly to the administration, have been re-elected, by a small majority. The Whigs, however, have gained in the State Legislature; The Chief of the Expungers ia formally nbm/nated for the next Presidency, by the Missouri Argus. In New York the money difficulties are ; somewhat mitigated. In New Orleans they are still extreme. Cotton lias been sold there at 5 cents, so valuable is money. The Governor of Mississippi, has called an extra session of the Legislature of that State, to be held on the third Monday of April (17ih inst.) The purpose of the meeting, is to take into consideration the moneyed affairs of the State, and avert 4 as far as may be, by the suitable and speedy action of that body, the impending ruin that seems to threaten a large portion of (her) citizens.'' A new stage line has been established from Aiken to Greenville C. H. via Edgefield C. H. Cambridge, Neely's Ferry, &c, lime of pas sage one and a half days. We understand that the contract was made only on the 17th of March, and on the 1st of April was in full operation, with 40 horses, new coiches, &c. The known energy and enterprise of the own*, er of the line, Mr. Win. Goss, is a sufficient guaranty that it will be well managed and prove a great accommodation tu the public. For the Telescope. Mr. Editor: Perm. t me through your press to inform /he public of the great facilities that are now offered for travelling between this and Charles ton. The Steamer St. Matthews, left Charles ton on Wednesday 12th in3t. and arrived at Granby in (as I understand from one of the passengers) 44 hours, including stops, and returned to Charleston by 1 P. M, on Sunday the 16th, making only 4 days and 8 hours in performing the whole trip. The Steamer Jas. Adams, left Charleston on Sunday 16th and arrived at Granby Monday night, 5 min. after 1 A. M., making less than 40 hours, including all stops, and if the Captain would have allowed the Steain to have been put up to 20 or even 17 inches on an average, we might have been at Granby several .hours soon er. I watched the gage myself and found it to range from 8 to 20 inches, and once or twice (in the day) up as high as 25 for a short time, notwithstanding the trip up, is the shortest that has ever been made on this river by better than four hours. The Adams made but six stops, the whole but little more than 4 hours. If the Captains will hereafter re port the time they leave t he Whai fat Charles ton, and the time they arrive at Granby, we shall then be able to teil how smart they have been, as well as the speed of their boats when they are running.

Mr. Drayton, who was sent on to the North immediately after the organization of the Company to procure Instruments, has found much difficulty in pro curing them, and with every possible exertion on his part, as well as on the part of Major McNeill, it is not believed that an adequate supply can be procured before the 1st of May.
