SAVAsau, April0. Caplure of more than 500 Indians con firmed.--By the arrival yesterday after noon of the steamer James Adams, Capt. Chase, from Black Creek, and through tile attention of Captain C., we have received from a correspondent the following intelli gence confirming rumors heretofore prevail 0 ('o the Editor of the Georgian: BLACK CREEK. (E. F.) April 4. I forward you a copy of Brig. Gen. Nei -son's official report. You may rely upon the following as facts. . Gen. Jesup had ar ranged with the chiefs of tihe camp near Jupiter, to meet him in council on the 20th lilt. but they failed to attend, and from the driving in of ponies and other indications, lie believed they were preparing to fly from the swamps. The General determined that they should not escape, and ordered Col.D. E. Twiggs of the 2d dragoons to secure them. The Colonel arranged matters so admirably that he succeeded in taking every individ unIon the morning of the 41st. There were upwards-of500 men, women and children, and among them over one hundred and fifty warriors. In addition to these there were taken 150 negroes, about forty of whom are capable of hearing arms. So you perceive that Gen. J.'s operations in the vicinity of Jupiter Inlet have resulted in securing upwards of 600 prisoners, and silencing near 200 rifles, General Jesup was up to the 27th ult. busily employed in disposing of his prison ers, as he was anxious to ush south, in or der to join Col. Bankhead, who was in full P pursuit of Sam Jones, and with some pros pect of overtaking him. The General has - ndmirably manuged the whole business. T1he force of the enemy is broken and dis pirited, and all hands agree that he has done all that man could do, under tihe same cir cumstance." Extract of a letter, dated "FORT JUPITR, March 27. I dare say you have heard of our late grah of 500 Indians, which, including ne groes, make upwards of 600 prisoners that time General has shipped for the west since the Tocha-hatchie affair. IIaileck-hadjo, and several other warriors have gone out tn bring in some more of their people, and as this su chicf is a young nan, I believe lie will be bsefuml to us. HEAD QUAR. Ist nlRIGADE GA. VOL. Camp Salemas, near Charles' Ferrv, March 11th, 1838. Brig. Gen. ARMISTEAD: Sir-In obedience to orders, I took up the line of march from my camp, left bank of the Suwaunee 'river, opposite fort Fanl ning, on time morning of the 4th instant, for Deadman's Bay. On the morning of the 7th, after thoroughly scouring the intermne diate country, and encounterng much wa ter, produced by the recent heavy ruins, I reached the Steamhatchee river, within six miles of the bay, that stream inundating the country for a considerable extent. I deenied it improvident to pass without further apparent necessity. I turned down that streamn for some two miles, when the country became too soft and wet to pass further, when I directed my course up, and as near that stream as I could, by way o( its sources to this place, which I reached this morning, examining critically every point calculated to harbor the endmny, with out finding the least trace of one made for qponi ix, except thome six or eight who cross ed the Suwannee at Clay landing in Jann ary last, and committed those murders in Middle Florida which have caused so much excitement. I must here be permitted to say that I was not aivare of time apprehended dangei by tihe citizenms of that section, until I met you oti time Suwannee, 1st of March. It is true that I discovered itt a few days after thme murders were committed, where the indians had crossed amid re-crossod, and~ deemned pursutit except to their retreat frumit less, and I will add that I do not believe that anmy of the enemy have beeni west of the Suwanmnee this year, unless there be a - few now constanitly on mime coast. Howev er, whether I have or not discharged the duty assigned me by General Jesup, that oh p~rotecting the frontier, I feel conscious o1 - hving mnade faithful efforts, it is true th ai I mighmt have establishmea posts, garrisomned my troops, and waited the approach of thec enemy, but I preferred to meet him in his - fastnesses, and destroy or capture him whienm found. Although I hrave been unlucky imi profitable results,..yet the accotmpanyimng mnemoranidums, furnished by my qutarter. master, Major Rogers, will show time numn her of miles we have marched, and it nmust be borne in mind that lie furnishes tihe marches amid couniter marches of thme trainis with the commamid without anty regard to the detailed duity of the command whmen with the trains, after leaving a bare guard for the day and the command joininig at night. The variotus reports mad~e from time to time will sustain the memorandums his account being 1080 miles. If we add only one-fourth fur the scours, wvhichi is much too small, that part of my commandi immedliately with my presenc, since the 19th Decetmber, 82 days, have marched andi countermarched 1350, or 16 miles per day, including rest days; built two pickets, forti Baker amid Jennings, bridged Withilacoo cele, at fort Clinch, Wacassasa river, andi numerous other small streams, opened roads &c. all of which sh~ow. I hope, that I have not been idle. 1 have the honmor of being, wvithm ver' high consideration and respect, your obedi ent servanit. Signied, C. H. NE LSON, Brig. Gen. Coin. Volunteers.

They passed the Duelling Bill to a third reading last evening, by a decisive majority. Tihe bill, as finally modified, provides that any person engaged in a duel, as principal, or second or friend, shall be imprisoned in the Penitentiary not more than ten, nor less than five years, at the discretion of the Court. The amendment offered by Mr. Clayton, to add to the penalty disqualifica tion to hold office under the Government, was rejected. In the House, to-day, after some unim portant morning business, Mr. lamer bro't to the view of the House, the following re solution, which was ordered to be printed: Considering that the business, commerce, circulation and exchanges of the country, are in a deranged and embarrassed con-li tion, and considering also that a part of the Banks of the United States have express ed a desire to resume payment at an early day, Resolved, by the Senate and House ol Representatives of the United Sit\tes ol America in Congress assembled, That il the Banks, or a portion of them do thus resume, it will be the duty of the General Governient, within the limits of its con stitutional authority, to aid such Banks (as the present Administration design to do,) it regaining public confidence, and to sustaic them in their laudable efirts to fulfil theii obligations to relieve the wants of the counn try, and to restore to the public a sounl circulating medium. Mr. tlamer gave notice that lie wofll call for the consideration of the Resolution or Mondav next. As Mr. flamer is a leading member ol the Administration party, and a member o the committee on Ways and Means, thit movement may be considered as having fh< sanction of the Administration. There i no doubt that it will Le fivorably receivemi by the House. The public, however, wouli be very glad to know by wimt course o measures the "present Administration'de. signs" to aid the Banks. It does not ap pear either, whetn or how, they came t< the "design," which is thus officially an. nounced. The Resolution to divorce the Govern ment from the public press, by prohibitin; any Government printing fron being givet to an editor of a newspaper, was, for a shor time, discussed. The House then went into Committee o the Whole ott tihe Bill to establish a Boar< of Commissioners, fot the adjustment an final settlement of certain claims against th Government. EDGEFIELD C. II. THURSDAY, APRIL 19. 1838. The news which we give this week frotm Florida is of the most painful interest. Tih niurder which we have recorded, is associatei in our mindis with all that is dark, and cruel am terrible in savage warfare. Mrs. Puirifoy wa born in this District, and removed but a few years ago, fromn this Village, with her highly et teeied father, to Florida. We knew her-well and we speak but the langunge of her nmunerou acquaintance when we say, that she displived ii her life a huab-like meekness, a purity aid ex cellence of character, which ire seldom seen. Who would have thought, said a respected Lad, to us on hearimg the ielimcholy occurrenctr that the mild and innocent, the amiable an youthitid Louisa was doomed to fall beneathi thm dleadnly rifle atid butchmer-kifet of time savage!

Whien we penned time above, we ha~d heari front antother source titan the newspaper ner count, that Mrs, Purifoy was duad.

Tihe exceptionable article to which I allude is to be found in your 8th No. of thisyear. "The deep interest which he feels in the welfare of the younger part of your male readers will, he doubts not, be a sufficient excuse for his presuming to di rect them in the procurement of their bet ter halves." Now, sir, I rejoiced when "Unique" took the text which I have given you in his own words, for I expected that a writer of his proved ability, and seeming ingenuousness, would have made something out of it Sorry am I to say that I have been disappointed. I make no war upon his motive, and would be indeed mortified, should he receive the impression, that in the strictures which I propose making upon his essay, I aml actuated by any other de sire than that of vindicating my own sex from what (in all deference) I consider the nanny caltmnics which he has uttered. ile pays no very high complement to his own sex when lie says, "never pay your devotions to a lady in the neighborhood or village of your nativity or residence, for rest assured that she will know too much a bout you to find you at agreeable lover. Now according to this, to love a gentleman you must not know him; and theconverse, I suppose is true, that to hate all gentlemen, it is but necessary to be acquainted with them. But ny business is not to defend the stronger sex; "the blood of Douglass can defend itself." lIe does but justice when he dissents from the opinion entertained by some, that a lady is to be won by afew scraps of poetry. Though not apprormng altogether, it would have given me pleasure to have heard "U nique" speak im terms of strong and un qualified reprehension of Byron, whose character as a poet is only surpiassed by his character as a rake, and who, whatever may ie the sublimity of his genius, by the ver dict of the world should never be mention ed in connection with any thing that is vir tuous and excellent. Better would I be pleased if his opinions were never even in troduced on such subjects. ly the acknow ledged and notorions turpitude of his life, lie has forfeited all claims to notice, and, to sny the least, it is bad taste to speak of him as respectable authority. r The next writer introduced by "Unique" is the Duke Rochefoucauld. 7t seems to have been the Duke's notion, that one had nothiug to do but to fill a woman to over flowing with jlattery, to winl her. Our zeal will not lead us amto the denunciation of an eminent man, whose life was consecrated to the noble purpose of benevolence, and of promoting the useful arts, but we must be permitted to regard his notions as the idle vagary of one who knew nothing of whiat he was writing about. "Unique" clearly insinuates that the )uke has given the true philosophy of woman. and lie pro ceeds in his article to inform his readera how to carry it out. The difficulty here tofore has been in its practical application I "The poet, the philosopher, the moralist i have all attempted to furnish a chart anid colpass, but they have all failed." All these mighty difficulties have now vanished, and this greater than poet, philosopher or moralisthas discovered tihe truesecret. "Strike the cymbal, rolltihimbrel, a Let the trumip of triumph sound." Arid pray what is this brilliant discovery? - Credit with his tailor, and six uninterrupt - ed interviews with his mistress." "Never talk to a woman about any thing but her self." It is at age of patents, and I would suggest to "Unique" to secure the right for thus gettmg a wde. Bunt itolae serious. What a low estimate hie places uiponi the intelligence of the sex -H is plait, like every other nostrum, has the -imerit of alweays stucceeding, and. hence he Salways laughs in a tian's face whio tells L'- haim that a womamn hans refuased to marry hmimn!! Need I say that hec has vastly unider rattedl thec good sense of womnan-that shte is Inot the fool which lie hans represenated her.

If nteces .sary, 1 could metntiona tihe names of femal~e r worthies to whom time world has renderedl time spornteotis homnage duie to lofty genti uts. Andu yet, according to "Unique," this is time lbeing whose power alwarp~ cowers before the magic inifluence of "credit with tailors atid six unmerrupted visits" A fter time matrimontial enagagemient, says Uiiu~e, "give nio time fur retlection, or like time weathercock, she will chaige wvitha time .slightest breeze." iAnd hecre site is chargedh as regardless of "moral obaligattionm;" as hav ing no certainty of putrpose, no fixedntess aof aflfection. I wvill nmot retoit time charge, bitt actinig entirely on the defenasive, wvill chtallenage for any sex a comparisoni wvath h other. It is seldom thaat wvonmn ever vio .lates lher solemn enigagemnent. Thecre are I circuimstanaces wichei many nmake it her im itperaltive duity, and I know that it nmay be asstuned as a genieral truth, that she never disnppfomats her ''lover'' withmout good and stiheicenat reason.

Iler htomne, her little family circle constitite her world. Thec gay and giddmy honors, thte at tractive objects of earthly amibition, obtruade not for a shanre of her affections.

CoTTos.--Ve have another dull week to re port ill the Cotton market, and the business trans acted has beeni limited, at the prices of last week. The demliald, however, has been fair; there are several purchasers in the market who are anxious to operate, bit they find it difficult to buy Cotton at present rates; holders thinkin the article canuot go much lower, refuse to seli at present rates, while purchasers do not seen disposed to give higher prices. We quote as extremes 64 a 94 cents, renarking, however, that it must he a strictly prime article that will bring the latter quotation, and that there is little or none of that deseriptiun offerinmg. BALTEMoRF, A Pnir. 6. Flour.-The first quiarter of the year 1838 having recently expired, we have referred to the returns imade tiny the Inspector Uceral to tihe City Registerland find that during the three moniths endiiig 31st March just past, there were inlspiecnted 80,889 barrels and 300 half barrels Wheat Flour. Compared with tihe inspectiollns of tihe correspoiding <puarter of 18:t7, those of' die quarter just fiimshed show a falling oil' of 14,139 bbhs. Wheat Flour. Te falling off in tie supplies of Foreign Vheat. daring tle quarter just fiunished, when coipared with tihe samie quarter of last year, is materially greater. In the month of Jan. 18;7, there were inported 12:,320 bushels of' wheat; in Februaryfd,*279 hushels; and in March,226, 609 hushel's-nmaking an ageregate ilrort ,r the firstquarter of'1837, of425A,2118bushels. The imports during the sane itonths of 1838 form an aggregate of about 215,000 bushels, nead conse queitly show a falling ol of 213,208 bushels. E'mtimating the wheat at the rate of 5 bumshels to tihe barrel of flour, the fhlling off inl the wheat inimport of the last three nonths is equivalent to 42,641 barrels of flour; and if to this we add the falling off ill tie inspections. n1 shown above, we find that the aggregate fidling off, in flour and wheat, is equivalent to 55.780m bhis. of flour. From present appearances there is little doubt, we think, that the imports of Ijoretn wheat during the present quarter will be imo larger than those of that just finished. Thel Stocks of Flour in the laltimlore market at this time, from the best information we have been able to obtain. we think may be set down at 30,000 to 35,000 barrels of all descriptions. The quarter's inspections of Flour at Rich mond endinr 31st March, 1838, were 41,056 barrels. 1)uritmg th! qiarterending a1st March, 1837, tijere were 37,870 barrels. Showing an increase 3186 barrels. At Alexandrin. the quarter's inspection ending 31st Iiiclh, 1838. were 4307 barrels. F'or tie qua.rer ending 31st March -1837, there were 9,895 bbl. showing a falling off of 5,588 bbls.

This is a more obsti tate and dangerous disease than intermittent or tgue and fever, there are generally three or four lays indisposition previous to the onset of thid lisease, and frequently chilly sensations for a day r two after. When this disease-is properly ormed it rarely yields to any treatment under 8 or 0 days, and sometimes much longer. 3dly, Of Typhus or Nervous fever. This is Itill a much -more obstinate and dangeroucdieaso han bilious fever, and apparently more mild in I lie connnoncement. It often continues fifneen )r twenty days with scarcely any remission or in ermission, with great prostration of body and lepression of mind. It may be well to observe hat Typhus fever is most common in time winter mdspring, and Billious fever in the summer and all. In the first stage of all fevers, it is common For the tongue to be covered with a whitish coat, and if the fever is not broken and rum into the ;econd stage, it is apt to assume a yellowish brown color, and in the third and last stage of revers, (and articularly if they are of a high grade and malignant character) the tongue is apt to assume a dark brown color, of different degrees f moisture; sometimes it is exceedingly dry; inl Ni stage of the disease the patient is often sen 4ible ora hot or burning sensation in the stomach. rhe symptomis of there two diseases are'so much ilike in their first stage dint plysicians often dif rer as to their real character, nor does it matter materially, because the treatment of both should be pretty much the sine, with this exception, that typhuss fever does not require nor will it bear as much strong sickening imedicine as bil ious fever. Treamnent In the first stage of tho two last diseases, I give a puke or one or two small doses of culomel or sone other anedicine that will ope rate upon tie stomach and howels. Under any circumstances I object to giving more stroig medicite, and man decidedly of opinion that re peated doses of such operating medicines do more harm than good. After thus operating oin the stomach and howels (und even without it) if several days have elapsed and my patient be come weak, I commence with the pills aid drops, and give t (lose every three hours, that is eight doses in each twenty four hours, with a regular use of Virginia snake-root, orsone other sweat ing tea. sich ashysi p, sage or bahn. S hmulg tihe patient suffer niuc i with pain in the head. back or elsewhere, give twenty or twenty-five drops of laudanm at night, if itle a grown per son (children should take less corresponding With theirages) and should lie become imuch debilita ted from a continuation of the disease, and par ticilarly if the hands and feet become cold, give a draught of toddy or wine every three or four hours unitil lie recovers; continue all tihe time to use the pills or drops as reconunended. The diet should be light, and taken only a little at a time nnd often. Bleeding is so seldom required in these disea ses that it is scarcely necessary to mtiention it; if it ever is resorted to it should be in die early stage of them. Blistering is sometimes useful and rarely if ev er injurious; hut it should be chiefly resorted to in the last stage,when there is delirium or lasting coldiness in the extremities. In die trentnmcnt of either of these diseases, I would prefer die bow ei6 to be in rather a costive than laxative cnndi tion. But should the howels be too inative, give broken doses oh salts or oil, or ope hein Witlh injections, and if they should be two laxa tive, give six or eight drops of laudanumn two, three or four times a day, until the loosiess is restrained. ify experience in the treatment of yellow fever has not been very extensive, bit it Is neither anore nor less dan tihe highest grade of bilious fever, and should be treated pretty much mi the samie wvay.

Having travelled imuch over the states, both vest an south, and having heard unich said in favor of Dr. Sappingtovn's fever pills, I do here Imy certify, that I believe there has neveryet been anyv mnedicine offered to tihe publlic so eflicacious im the cure of fevers as that which lie has pie parted. I have kniowinimany labiouring nnder fe ver tind agume, cured ini thme course of frm 24 to 48 hours; andi all cases (if fever in whlich I have knmownt it used, it has never tailed to effect a cure, so fori as kniown to nie, in a shorter timie thani any miedicime I have ever knowvn used.
