Te Baiuk of England a Borrower. The Pennsylvunian) states,on the authority of private letters, that the Bank of Eng land has borrow ed a large auount of spe cie romn the Bank ,of France. This mea sure is resorted to, in order to save herself From bankruptcy. [low humiliating must this be to the Great Regulator! In our own country, we have seen a United States Bank on the very verge of hank ruptcy, and powerless before the mighty convulsion which shook the commercial world. Still, we have politicians who wish to fix a mammoth institution of this character, upon ns forever; an institution, mighty for evil, bu: powerless for good! The New York Herald, of the 1st of August, says, that " a'large amount of specie has gone out by the packets sailing to-day. The Great Western has on board $230,000 ; the British Queen, 8227,000; and the packet ship Ontario, 8143,000. The Ontario and Baltimore about $200,000 together, making in all $800,000."

This is as eribed to the frequent showers of rain which havefallen, and the general mois ture of th6 amosphere.

Circumstances and events have placed the nctions of my life in a different and moore ardu tins aspect thtan many or my fellow beings. Feeling that man was intended to labor. not only fur his stubsistence and clothing, but should dltsclose those naturalgifts which are calculated to promote the happiness and wvelfare of man 1kind, by improving the works w~hichm nature has marked out for our hands, and not to impose om outr fellow beintg becausqe he happens to be gitied with less intellect and wtealthm than our selves. I feel content with the part I have act ed in this respect. To give a short history- of the past, and my intended course in future, ca harm no one, but may result itt benefittintg many.Thmat the course .of amy pursuits has tetnded nmore to the public good than may own aggranadizemnent. will r.ot bte denied. I do not intend to please thme read er with romantic ancdotes anmd novelties. I am a laboring man, and shall content mnyself by givmng the dictates of commmon sense My fatte in the intercourse with mankind hmas been rath er a hard one, butt I have borne it with tmnly fortitnde. I claim n sympaty, nor do I desire any thing which belongs to tmy fellow man, for may experience and industry wrill at all times in sure tme a full competency wherever I atn placed. I date my arrival at Autgusta, Gen., in 1800i, and continued there until 1821. I commenced my' career as a common boatman ott the Sa v'annahm river during which titne, my conduct and perseverance enabled me gradually to rise to wealth and fame, having been engaged in severaml nagniftent enterprizes-the bridge a cross the Sayannah river, the wvharf at A ugus ta,Geo., the Bridge Company's Banking house, besidez many other valuable buildings. It is to me that Auigusta, owes the main pub lhe enterprizes shte boasts ; monuments not less of my toil than of her injustice. By thme acts of those who speculate i'n false promises to pay ; by changers and hueksters of' money, my hon est atnd laborious gains were snateched from my hands, I was stripped not only of my hard earnings, but of my last and dearest possession; mny good name, tmy all; I was cast otut, stigtna tized and a broken man, to seek a refuge in another State, at the time when mnost zenmons ly engaged itn conducting the aflimirs of the steambhoat Company on thme Savanniah river, between the cities of Savannah and Augusta, Geo., a busitness of importance to both citiee, and I am htappy to say, resulted in a mhost sin gulair success. Did my oppressors stop here 1 No. I was putrsuotl into another State cast fran dtungeon to dungeon, and was finally compelled to say, rupt. Th'is odiun ought to be a severo stroke, even to him who could charge hiinself with some guilt of negligence or want of caution, but to him who stands guiltless in every respect. to him it is a wound which cannot he healed by repentance, it must be by payment in truth. If a man is unable to meet his engagements, there must be a cause. either by his own acts, or the dispensation of Providence. Let us ex amine the cause in quetiofn. Was I tempted into wild cotton speculations. or any thing else of a like nature; were my expectations overwhelmed by the waves of the ocean? I would answer no; neither was my all consumed by tie flames of the devouring element, nor did I place my earnings upon the wheel of fortune, or lose them at the gaming table, nor through any other specirs of dissi pation. Have nmy various great undertakings proved unsuccessful, and their failure involved my ruin ?-No. My wharf at Augusta, Geo., I sold in 1819, for $50,000, cash, and I am warranted in say ing, that it has paid a yearly dividend of 8 per cent. clear of all expenses ever since. My bridge was built in 1S13, and 1814. and cost $73,000, and according tojthe best proof I have, it has paid for itself, principle, interest, and expenses every six years since that time: My town, the real estate of which was valued in June, 1821, by the Court of Equity at $7,000. and a piece of land adjoining, over which it at present extends, was sold a short time previous for $1,500, making its value $8.500. at that time. According to the assessment made utn der the order of Council for the present year, its real estate is now valued at $35,000. The Bank, a charter for which was granted by the Legislature of South Carolina, in 183.5, at my instance, with others, and established under my superintendance in 1836, has been. in a most successful operation from that period to the present, which at the last semi-annual settle ment of its regular businiess, with the premium ott the increase of .$200,000 to its capital stock, paid to the stockholders a dividend of 21 per cent. In this investigation, we have as yet found nothing indicating insolvency, either by the hands of Providence,or by myself.We will pro ceed n- ith the cause in our next investigation. HENRY SHULTZ.

IMPORTANT FROM FLORIDA. fy the Stephen and Francis, Captain Magee, arrived Jesterday morning fion St. Augustine, we have received the rol lhwing intelligenee front our correspon deut at that place: lIerald Offiee, St. Augustint, Augnst 3, 139. News has been received to-day fron TIamnpa Bay, that Colonel llarney was at tcked at his post at Coleosuhatchie early on the inorning of thmg3d lilt. Of h. command of 28 men. 13 and 2 settlers were killed, and the Colonel, with the re nainder, escaped. This i'm the most trea chprous act committlra b) fime ludians since the war. Col. 11. confiding in their good faith. and supposing himself a favor ite with them, vemured to go to a post nearly 200 miles from any other with only a guard of 28 men. The ,nhumau at tempt to massacre tirs little party by In dians who were daily coming in and Aoing out in a friendly manner. is definitive of~ their hostile dletermination, and proves that all we have said since Mlacomb's order was published, is correct. From the N. Y. Herald, of thec 3d instant. IMPJRtTANT FROM TH E WVEST. (OENERAL scOTT's RETURN FROMl THE IN DIAN BORDER. Last evening, imnportant despatches were received frotm General Scot;, by Mr. Poinsett, Secretary of War, now 'mojourn ing at the Waverly House, Broadway. These despatches convey to the Secretary tli news of the entire success of thie Ge neral's rniasihon to the Wisconsin Territory, on the Mlississippi, whlere he undertook to pacify certain hostile demonstrations made against the U. States. It seems that one of the tribes of these Indians, who evacuated a portion of that territory, by a late aeaty, and had gonme beyond the Mlississippi, had( retraced thmeir steps in snmall squads, and were taking inroads on the grounds beho. gingf to the citizens of the United States. This spirit of hostility on the Iudian. border had Iro ken out als in several skirmishes among the Sioux, Menonmies and other Indians; aind, on one occasion, about 100 fell a prey to these war-like incusionts. The miassion of General Scott was prinacipIally d ire'eted tothe seutlenment ofthte differences between our own ditizens and one of the tribes wvho had begun to violate a trea:y-amnd in- this mission thme General has been eminently successful. TROUBLE AMONG THE INDANS--A GREAT SLAUoHTER.-The St. Louis Re publican, states, on the atuthority of a let ter from Fort Snellinig, dated Juily ;0th. that a most unhappy state of affairs exists between the Sioux and Chippeways, and, thmat the latter have been slaughtered in gr'eat numbers. The folwing is an ex tract of the letter; *-The Sioux and Chippeways. have had a brusah at two different points on the Sr. Croix, and again about thirty miles above the Falls of St. Anthony. Thte Chippe wvaysjiust before leaving the Pillagers. Ihbelieve, had killed, at Lake Catlhoura, a Sioux Brave, an hour or two after stinrise. The news having spread like wild fire, the Siouxs, about t wo hundred strong, left the Falls. Hale in-he-lap, a Chippeway Chief, had pushed on wit h his party and was not overtaken. The Sioux who left the Falls. came across a party of the Rum River Band, attacked them about stun rise thte next morn'ing and killed one hundretd a .d thirty-three men, women, atnd children. This was above the Falls, Big Thunder, a Sioux Chief, crossed the coun try int pursuit of the Strong Ground Band of Chippen~nys amnd overaook and liaught themi at St. Croix. Big Thunder toldtj Sioux tnt to fire where the whitea were. (Messrs. Airkinas and McLoud's party) and as tshe Qltippewamys huddled round the wai~.s many of them thh~s esened Notwithstanding theSioux killed tbirty-si men of the Chippeway party, and son; women and children. .The country is i great excitement and will continue so li some time. There will, no doubt, be general engagement between the Siou and Chippeways before many monti more.
