The Neptune brought as passengers G. H. Flood, Esq. the A-. muercan charge d'afaires and commodore M6ooe. Her cargo is unusually large. for Texas, consisting of 321 bales and 16 half bales of cotton.

SAVAiNAH. May 24. FROM FLORIDA. By the U. S. steamer Beaufort, Captain Peck, arrived this morning from Pilatka, the editor of the Savannah Georgian has received the following from his correspon dent: (Correspondence ofthe Savannah Georgian.) GOPHEa HILL, Fin. Fifth month 22d, 1841, Dear Sir-Since my last we have to re cord the painful intelligence that the In dians h'ave committed a number of mur ders in the*neighborhood of "Ocean Pond." Upwards of a hundred head of cattle have been driven ofT from Fort Walker. Their trails lead South. I presume we are indebted to Alluck-tus te-nugge for their last visit. Three days since, four. Indians made their appearance at Fort King, and asked for a wagon to bring their families in. This is favorable, and.if Col. Worth succeeds in finding Hos pitakee, the war must end the coming win ter. Very truly yours. [Correspondence of the Sav. Republican.] TAMPA BAY, 14th ay, 1841. Gentlemen-You will soon know wheth er th-e history of the season now passing away, is to be one of hope deferred or not. At the present moment. I have but little Indian news to give you. We are now waiting for Haleck Tusteenuggee. He has sent in his brother and some runners, to announco that he will surrender with his people. If so, he will bring 150 persons. We have, as you know,just made one ship ment of the enemy to the west. There are now in camp about 50 men, women and children. Wild Cat (Co-a-coo-chee) has not yet nor do I think he will come. He has fdoled all of us. Runners have been sent to Sam Jones for the last time. Eight days more will test Halleck's sincerity. If he deceives us, we have nothing to do but to make a descent, catch and hang all we can, and destroy their crops.. Then they will be glad to negotiate and probably not before. We have an abundance of good Indian guides who will take us direct to their fields. The Commanding General has announc ed to-the War Department that the war is about to terminate. His. belief is mainly rounded on Halleck's professions and con duct. It has been recommended that the 3d Artillery, lt and 6th Infantry be with drawnfrom the theatre of war. Very respectfully. California..-A movemment, not the least interesting of the events of the day, is announced in the St. Louis papers. An association of adventurersis organizing for the purpoie'of emigriting to the province :f California, and a town in Missouri is ad vertised as the place of rendezvous. There is a boldness, nay a grandeur in the enter prise,'captivating to the- American taste. It may be expected that: numbers of 'our adventurous opulation-will respond to the itttoa. Irrthemwstern country, many impatient and daring spirits are found, by whom a tramp across the Rocky Moun tains to the shorea of the Pacific, would be embraced as a romantic adventure, and the very acrne.of "glorious fun." Besides, there are crowds of unfortunate debtors, to whom the chance of escaping the impor tunities of troublesome creditors, and try ig their fortunes in the unexplored bound less west, will be a very welcome release rom the restrictions and privations of a sate of insolyency. It may be supposed, hen, that there will be no scarcity of vol inteers. The party of emigrants will be Iumerous, and well provided with all the neans and appliances of moving. The tat ure of the country through which the >ilgrimnage is to pass, requires that the ravellers should be well armed and equip >ed, as their road thro' a desert wilderness tnd over rugged mountains, inhabited by ierce and hostile tribes of savages. Once arrived however, at their place of lestination, there is little danger to be ap >rehended from any quarter. The spot is no remote from the populated parts of kexico to be reached by a military expe lition. Besides, the Government at home re too busy in putting down domestic iis lurrection, to pay attention to the intrusion pf Yankees on the extreme north-western erge of their territory. At any rate, thether molested or not, the young colony ill be strong enough in American rifles md Bowie knives, to drive off a larger ar ny than Mexico can send against them. As to the practicability of the enterprise mar anticipations are most sanguine. The rountry bordering on the Gulf of Califor uia, and the sea coast adjacent, is repre seted to be the paradise of North Ameri. :a. A t present the region is unoccupied tand now presents to the Yankee invader, 'ample room and verge enough" for a great )emocratmc Etnpire extensive as the twen ix States. We hail with delight the narch of emigration to the westwvard, and enture the prediction, that in a few years continuous line of flourishing American ettlements will extend along the shores of he Pacific, from the mouth of the Oregon o the extremity of the Californian penin ula.-N. 0.

The developements,thatbave been made by the committee appointed to investigate the affairs of this Instituion, -fill even the Whigs with dismay, and astonishment. -Wedded as they are to Banks, and to this Bank, the disclosures have been such as-to shake their faith, in a system whose abuses even, could beget such wholesale villainy, fraud and peculation. The report of the committee will be published soon; and we shall have an opportunity, lo.inspect the mass of corruption, which all admit is dis closed by the evidence, brought.before the committee. It appears from the report tha.t, 48 individuals owe .$960,000 42 " " 1.040,000 29 " " 1,250,000 6 " " -1,314,000 135 $5,564,000 It is by such heavy discounts,.that a few favored tndividuals, amass large estates while thousands are ground to the earth, by the operations of thesenionopolists. It is worthy of remark,. that none or-this amount consists of regular- mercantile dis counts. At the meeting-at which the.Com mittee made their reportriesolitions, were offered denouncing Biddle,4aid. liia.asso ciates by nam*e, as every thing that was vile, and when read were received with the most deafening. applause. .A few years since, "And this nan might Have stood against the world, Now none so poor to do him reverence." Cupidity, and the temptations of a Bank have brought him to disgraco and infamy. While the Bank'has sunk net ly all its ca pital, its shares selling for $19, and the whole institution insolvent, Mr. Biddle is in the possession of an estate, it is said of $800,000. What a commentary upon the System! Thousands have been reduced to beggary, and lost the labor of a life, and yet this man and his associates--the authors of the mischief-are rioting in wealth and luxury. The whole Banking system is giving way from its own rottenness: and corrup tion. It has deranged the currency-bro ken up public and private credit-corrupt ed the morals of the people -inpoverished thousands-enriched hundreds-:onverted the nation, into one vast army of specula tors, idlers and swindlers-and filled the country with crime and dishonesty of eve ry hue. To remed3 all these evils we are invited to increase the instruments and means of doing mischief. We are asked to create an Institution, that Iwill regulate and control the trade, business, politics and currency of the country, and infuse into it the "odor of nationality," and-all will be well. To those who can believe that the laws of Congress, will be more respected than those of a State-who can believe that the officers ofa National Bank can be more honest, than the same men -as officers of a State Bank-there may be tome virtue in this expedient. The evil isinherent in the system, and legislation is impotent to do it any good. For this we have~the high au thority of President TylQri.. J. Warming Pans toHavan.-A Speci men of the new Appoinlment.-We had a capital illustration, says the Philadelphia Spirit of the Times, of the capacity oft the oomers in at the Custom House on Satur day. One of the Deputy Inspectors was Bent down to the brig Elizabeth, loading at Lombard street wvharf, for H avana, to note the delivery of several packages of goods entitled to debenture. Not knowing ex actly what to do, he applied to Captain Gallagher, of the brig, for itnformat ion. The captain, being a wag, resolved to "try conclusions" on the new deputy, ac sordingly gave him a deal of the most in comprehensible intelligence. "Come this way, Mr. Inspector," said Capt. G., with great gravity and deference, "come this way I'll show you the boxes, and tell you what to do with 'em. "You're a jewel, captain," returned the nher. "I've only had my commission about twenty minutes, and i'd be thankful if you'll just tell me what to write down on this bit of paper." "You see these boxes, marked X X and a star. Well put them down shipped by H~anse Souorcroutzen--on speculation Kamichatka, by way of the Moro. at Cu ea, in the Island of Havana, on the Span ish Main. Be very particular." The Deputy, much excited by the nov slty of his situation, wrote out ibis precious rigmarole on the crown of his hat, without uspicion, and then enquired if they were ,ntitled to "preventure.". "Debenture, you mean," snid the cup Lain, observing that the green deputy didn't know the rope;-"Oh, yes! they're en Litled to two debentures and a half." Be sure you have that down and add unknown! N1ext take off the marks of these six pack ges-R. G. and a diamond. Say they sentain two dozen each of Smith's patent self heating wvarming pans, shipped by Mr. Smith himself,-consigned to the Governor's chief mandarin,-for the use af the State," and down went every word. "How many preven,-I mean deben tures-have they a right to Captain." "Oh ! excuse me, I- had forgot. Why as these things come under the head of public stores, you musi, say they are enti tled to four debentures and i drawback." Here the Captain could scarcely keep his eountenance, but, waking a strong effort at composure, gave his tobacco an extra tn, and looked at the brig.. "Is that all I'm to do, Captain ?" "Yes, I believe that's all,".-and you'll lind its enough, too, thought the wag of a tar! "No stop! here are three bales of double-milled Whitney blankets; two Ca mes of Scotch knit hose, and one box of gum elastic overshoes; but you need'nt be particular about them. Just note the number, and tell the Collector not to troub ble himself over them, at I ism not quite sure I can take them this time. Good morning, Mr. Inspector, I see I'ml wanted on board." The Cqptain -then made a very polite bow and went away. The Deputy returned the congee, and expressed his gratitude, but not 11king the roguish leer of' the Captain's eye as they parted, he wnen to [r. Ofil's conngn room to acer tain whether his certificate was rightly fil led . up. - The persual .of the document se nearly killed the clerk. As soon as he re- ol covered from the fit of fun it brough't'upon A him, he pacified the poor Deputy, who sf owas sorely galled by the hoax, gave him h proper directions, and cautioned him a- ci gainst sending warming pans and Whitney ti blankets to Havana in future. tt ci From te Old Dominion. cl PTIFUL-MEAN-CONTEMPTIBLE n Daniel Webster and "the government," o are filling up the measure of popular de- e testation, with unxeampled rapidity. Of A all the disgraceful acts which have been 1 committed by this 'Coonskin administra- si tion, the appointment of a. speceial agent g (without sanction of law) to examine the a affairs of some of the Master Mechan- a ics in the Navy Yard who happen to be- h long to the republican party; these have d received circulars from the special agent s aforesaid, stating that charges (by whom?) 11 have been preferred against them. Now m why all this hypocritical pretence? If these fi worthy gentlemen are to be removed for their political opinions, why this mockery of charges? why not oust them at once? si But - suppose there really is grounds for t< charges to be alledged-is there not a pro- a per officer now in command, who is fully si competent to investigate them ? And is s< not the appointment of a special minister 0 for this purpose a most audacious insult to a both the late and present Commande-s at e: this station ? ir We have never seen our community so y much (and so justly) excited, as they are ri in relation to this matter. We have had ai serious apprehensions, since yesterday fc evening, that something of a most unplea- 1 .sant character will grow out of this matter. It is certainly one of the most high-handed outrages upon public propriety, which the 1 federal Cabinet have yet, perpetrated up- d on the American people. g The following is one the notices sent to 0 the Master Mechanics in the Navy Yard. h U.

Important Disclcsureafor the Widow and Orphan.-We speak advisedly (says the h Pennsylvanian) and upon good authority, V when we say that the Bank of the United v States was not broken alone by its cotton speculations and dealings in fancy stocks.
