pend the pamoperity And happincss of both 'o tins end iy elforts have been unceasing itnd it is to this alone, I am quite sure, that I aim indebted, not otly for thatshare which I have the happiness to believe I hold in the esteem and good opinion of your communi :y, but for nil the kinduess and hospitulity I have received during my residence among them.

A PROCLAMATION. We find the following in a late number of the Detroit Alvertiser. It is a curiosity in its way. Patriot Proclamation to the Indians! The Provisional. Government of Upper Canada take the earliest opportunity of cautioning the INDIANS agriust taking party with their swindling oppressors, the enemies. of Liberty, against ihe Patriots of Upper Canada and assuring them that if they do not take part with their oppressors, the loyalists, during the struggle of the Pa triots for their independence, they shall 'iave their lands secured to them, and their civil and religious rights respected: The Provisional Government of Upper Canada also promise all Indians who join their Standard, and nid them in obtaining their Independence, the same wages, ra tions, and bounty,as are given to white men, that is, 12 dollars a month, and rations, one hundred dollars bounty money in June next, and three hundred acres of land fee simple at the successful close of the war. By order of the rrovisional Government -of Upper Canada. CIIAS. DUNCOMBE, Upper Canada, Feb. 1838. Approved : R. Van Rensselaer, Gen. Coin, P. A. U C. A'true copy. D. M'Leod, Brig. Gen. EDGEFIELD C. II. TunsDAT, APRIL 5. 1838. MUSICAL Exiiumo.-We had the pleasure of attending the exhibition of Mr. Bacon's Mu sical Class on Friday evening last. The perfor niance of the young ladies, was, in the general, highly creditable to them, and to Mr. B. If we may be permitted, fora moment only, to play the critic, we will say, that as much as we love that retiring mode.-ty for which the truly virtuous and well-bred female is distinguished, there is such a thing, we think, as sometimes touching too gently the strings of the guitar, or the keys of the piano, and injuring :a good voice by not singing loud enough to be heard with anydistinctness. The guitar is an instrument well adapted forr the display-of the graces, and while we cordially deprecate those convulsive motions which may be called the jerks, we like to see a young lady show motion enough to distinguish her from a liteless statue. But let it not be thought that we are displeased. We repeat that they deserve praise, and the more so, as the period of instruction with most of them has been very short. W1ewish that occasions of this kind woutld oc cur more often nmong us; and the large cogpa ny which attended the recent exhibition, give an earnest of~a similar desire on the part of the om. munnity. We wish Mir. B. full success .in his * vocation, (for which we know he possesses high gualifications,) and the young ladies a rapid pro gress in that pleasing art, which, it has been said, often speaks to the soul a language richer in meaning than words, and which none can deny but he who has not heard its sub~limest strains, <,r has not the capacity to appreciate them. We are requlested to give public notice that the Upper Battallion of the 10th Regiment of South Curolina Militia, (Col. Husiet'.s) will pa rade at Clark's (formerly Christie's) on the last Saturday in April, the 28th; that the Lower - Battalion will parade at Mt. Willing on the 1st Saturday in May, the 5th. The comimissioned anid non-commnissioned officers will parade the day previous for drill and instruction. TEXAs AND ARKNsAs.-A difficulty has arisen between these States, in relation to their boundary. Texas claims Miller andi Fayette counties in Arkansas. and haes es tablished land offices there. The majority of the people are on the side of Texas, and have reno~unced the jurisdiction of Arkan bas. The Governor has submitted the matter to the Legislature. The new Hotel an Charleston being near ly completed, the proprietors, a few days since, gnve a splendid entertainment, at which Col. Small, the architect, and Mr. Page, the lesaee, received their full share of praise andI honor. -Feeling as we do a live. .ly interest for the growing success and pros. perity of Charleston, wre are pleased at every new evidence of the enterp'ize of her citizens. It was said on the occasion to which we are alluding, "that the first Page in the history of the Hontel promises a vt 'ttmc of good things." We trtust, at no dii. tant day, to come in for our portion of the volume. CoNonEss.-The Sub-Treasury Bill has passed the Senate by an amendment which changes its whol, character. We look uiponi the result as a defeat of the measure. - Thle 2ad section~ihe hardrnoneyaection, was stricken out on motion of Mr. Cuthhbert ol *Georgia. An amnendment from Mr, Web ster was adopted, thie effect of which w as to do away the specie circular, by making nc received for public lands and custom house dues. After the rejection uf amendments from Messrs. Benton, Tipton and others, the question was taken upon the third reading of the bill and decided as follows: Yeas-Messrs. Allen, Burton. Brown, Clay, of Ala., Cuthbert, Fulton, Hubbard, King, Lion, Lumpkin, Lyon, Morris, Mou ton, Niles, Norvell, Pierce, Roane, Robin son, Sevter, Smith of Ct. Strange, Trotter, Walker Wall, Williams, Waight & Young -27. Nays, Messrs. Bayard, Buchanan. Cal houn, Olay of Ky., Clayton, Crittenden, Davis, Grundy, Knight, M'Kean, Merrick. Nicholas, Prentiss, Preston. Rives, Rob bins, Ruggles, Smith, of Ind, Southard, Spence, Swift. Tallmage, Tipton, Webster and White-25. As soon as the Vice President declared the vote, the Senate adjourned. Mr. Calhoun, it will be observed, voted against the bill, it being, as he declared, with its amendment, as objectionable as the Pot Bank system. [coMMuNIcATED.] The Annual Meeting of the Central Temperance Board of Edgefield District was held in the Baptist Church on Tues day evening (luring the sitting of Court. The Meeting was opened with prayer by the Rev. Dr. Johnson, after which a very impressive and elegant address upon the evils of intemperance was protnounced by the Rev. Mr. Suares of Aiken S. C. A committee was appointed to wait upon Mr. S. and request a copy of the address for publication, which the committee have the pleasure to announce was granted.

The people of Edgefleld District having witnessed with gratification the patriotic ef forts which were made by the enlightened convention of Merchants from the South and South West, held in the City of Au gusta in October last. for ihe purpose of en couraging a direct trade with Europe; and participating largely in the general anxiety. which now happily pervades the entire Southern community for the accomplish ment of the great enterprise and sensibly impressed with the obligation of performing their part in the laudable el'ort, now being made of Emancipatina the South from the present state of dependence on the North, and from the degrading tribute which is annually exacted in consequence of this dependence. Therefore Resolved, That under a deep sense of this obligation enforced by the mo lives of patriotism and interest they will co-operate with their fellow citizens by senditng suitable delegates to represent thetm in the Convention, wvhich is to be held in the City of Augtustaon the 1st Monday in A pril next.

Resolred, That the proceedings of this Meeting be published in the Edgefleld Ad vertiser. JOHN BAUSKETTr. Chair'nan. Wv. HI. Moss, Secretary. Miscellancons,. N,:w Yo'ts, March 19. From the Prontier.-We received on Sat urday, the British official account of their attack on the horde wvhich imnvaded Point Pelle Island, but hail no room then to place it i our columns. It appears that Coftbnel Mathland, time British officer commanding on the Canada shore, after ascertaining that the ice was sufficiently strong. p~assedl over it a detatchment of regtular troops amnd militia, two compaines of which he ordered to thme south side of the Island to intercept the retreat of the invaders to the American shore, whilst he himself lauded on the norih side and (drove them before him. Finding themselves hemmed in, they attempted to escape on the south side, and here encoun tered the two comipanmies posted there. An engagement ensued, in which the invaders were routed and left a Col. Bradled, a M ajor Handley, and Captains Van Reusslacr arrd Meceon, and seven others, dead on the field, several besides taken prisoners, many of whom were severely woutndod. The British loss is said to be two killed and twenty eight severely wounded A New ERA ta S-rEAM.--Extract of a letter to Messrs Wadsworth and Smith, from the Secretary of the British amid American Steam Navigation Company of London. LoN non, Feb. 22. I have the pleasure to inform yon that the Sirius. steanibont of 700 tons anid 32(0 hmorse power, has been chartened by several oif the Directors, of the British & Amxericani Steam Navigatiomn Company and some of the Proprietors, for a voyage to New York andt back. The "Sirius" is a new vessel, about six months at wvork, during which time she has proved herself superior to any Steam vessel upon outr waiters, in speed anti seaworthy qualities, and is a great fa voriite in the station she is at present." (Dr. Lardiner, anid many of our packet ship Captains any "the thing can't be navigation, there is no question, but that we are behind the British, as much as we are before them in river, lake, and all inte rior navigation. If the Sirius can come out here in March, and early in April, against the strong Westerly winds usually prevail ing, the thing can -be done. At any rate the attempt is to be nade.-&press. Mr. Clay, in his late speech says:--in the sense which the Senator (Mr. Calhoun) supposes Banks to conflict with the coining power, foreign commerce, and especially, our commerce with China, conflict with it much more extensively. That asehe great absorbentof the precious metals, it is there fore, much more unconstitutional than the State Banks. Foreign commerce sends them out of the country; BanA retain them toithin it." Mr. Clay's inference, that the Banks re tain the precious metals within the country, while foreign commerce is their great ab sorbent, is at war with facts. The Banks by over issues of paper drive the precious metals out of the country. They then be come merchandize and constitute a part of foreign commerce. The China trade has occasionally produced a demand for these metals; but that demand has ceased. Why will not those who occupy distinguished stations as Legislators, and who are looked to as guides of public opiniop, be more ac curate in their facts?-Charleston Patriot. Van Rensellaer in Limbo.-Gen. Vab Reusellera had his trial at Auburn, New York, on the 7th inst. when the various instances of his violationof the neutral laws of the United States were fully established. Declining to give bail he was sent to Albany to jail, to take his trial there in June. Gen. Sutherland was taken to Toronto on the 12th and his trial by court martial was to commence on the 13th; but was subse quently put off, until the arrival of the new Governor SirGeorge Arthur. Gen. Van Reusellaer is drawing up a full statement of "movements, doings and so on"-connected with his northern expedi tion, which is to be laid before the puDlic. Char. Cour. AWFUL DIsPENsArTION.-On Wednes. day last, while a cause was on trial in the Superior Court of this county, one of the Jurors, Richard Barber, fell forward in his seat and almost instantly died. He had not been in the least indisposed, that any of his acquaintances know, and but a few ruo meits before, on some question arising at the Bar, as to the testimony of a particular witness, had given his recollection of it. Mr. Barber was a most pure and excellent man in all his relations, and leaves a large number of devoted friends to deplore his loss.-Salisbury (N. C.) IVatchman. We learn with deep regret the death of Stephen D. Miller, Esq. formerly Governor of this State, Senator in Congress. &c. He died on the 8th Iinst. at Raymond, Missisippi. South Carolina remembers him withbgrati tude and affection, for his virtuous character and eminent public services.- Telescope, Commercial. From the Augusta Constitutionalist, MarcA 29. AUGUSTA AND HAMBURG MARKET. CoTTO.-During the past % eek there has been a better enquiry than has been experienced in the market for several weeks past, and the sales have been to a fair ex tent, without any material change in prices.
