Ces and disadvantages, without any benefits to
any other communities equally important.
The only recommendation (which your Committee
is advised of) offered in the change, is the
feet that the Northern mails via Raleigh, by the
proposed route, would reach Gadsden, twenty
miles South of Columbia, (a mere depot,) on the
Rail Road from Columbia to Charleston, about
two hours sooner than at present. But no adVantage
would result from this, as the Southern
mails, by the way of Wilmington, would sooner
have reached tlie same point; and the news by
that route would be in advance of it, from 12 to
24 hours. If it was proposed to divert the great
Southern mail from the present route through
Charleston, even a few hours saved in time,
would be an argument in favor of change?but
this is not contemplated, from any thing of which
your committee is informed?and even if it was,
there would be an insuperable objection to the
proposed route, arising from the difficulty of
crossing the Watcrcc river, opposite to Stateburg,
there being no bridge over the river at that
place, and also from the fact that at every considerable
rise in tire river, it cannot be approached,
owing to the existence of deep lakes in the
swamp, which are easily rendered impassable.
Your Committee are aware that, although Gadsden
has not been a stopping point as yet, for one
month, that citizens of the immediate neighborhood
of Stateburg, who had come up to Gadsden
from Charleston, have been unable to cross the
riveroppasite Stateburg, and have been compelled
tocorae up to the bridge at this place, to get
Jhome.
There is no bridge over the Pee Dee river except
at Clieraw, which place it is proposed to
avoid. The same objections, therefore, which
fcave been urged against crossing the Wateree
at Statebure' would apply to crossing the Pee
Dee at any ?tier place than Cheraw.
Your Committee are alsoof the opinion that it
is not the object of the government to transmit
the mail from one point to another in the shortest
possible time, but to adopt such mail routes as
will afford the general diffusion of intelligence
to the greatest number of persons in the shortest
time?and this certainly is best effected by the
mails passing through the principal towns, from
whencethe smaller mails may diverge in all diaections
over the country.
Your Committee would, therefore, recommend
the adoption of the following Resolutions:
Resolved, That it is inexpedient to change the
mail route, which passes through Cheraw, Camden
and Columbia.
Resolved, That a copy of these proceedings be
forwarded to the Postmaster General, our immediate
Representative in Congress, the Hon. T.
D. Sumter, and to both our Senators.
After reading, on motion of Dr. DeLeon, the
Report and Resolutions were unanimously adopted,
and ordered to be published in the Camden
Journal.
On motion of W. J. Gerald Esq. Ordered,
That a copy of the same be forwarded to the citizens
of Cheraw and Columbia, inviting their
co-one ration.
On ^motion the meeting then adjourned.
JOHN WORKMAN, Chairman.
R. L, Wilson, Secretary.
For the Camden Journal.
Mr. Editor: The late fire in Columbia, has
caused me to enquire what are our means for
contending with the devouring element] I find
there are belonging to the town, three Engines,
(all of which leak badly, or are otherwise out of
order,) several Fire Hooks, but no ropes. The
Fire company have a Suction Engine, in good
order, two Fire Hooks, one Rope, four Axes, a
number of Fire Buckets, and are now having a
pair of match Ladders made.
I would, with due deference, suggest to the
Town Council, the necessity of procuring at
least$wo Ropes for Fire Ilooks, havihg three or
four Caissons prepared and kept in the Magazine,
for blowing up houses if necessary, proC.urinir
a siinnlv nf lmrlrpfc. /Yirnf- lr>nct rroflinr.
o 1 I'-J ? J \? ?" b"~?'
ing up those that arc scattered over the town,)
and having the Engines examined and repaired.
I would also suggest that it might be advisable,
if on examination, either of their Engines is
very much out of order, for the Town Council
to purchase the Engine of the Fire Company,
(which I learn they have offered for sale, for the
purpose of procuring a larger one.) They would
of course, get another Suction Engine?we
should then have two Suction Engines, which,
with a good supply of IIosc, would be more efficient
than half a dozen of the old kind. They
could also, if necessary, supply two others, stationed
at the fire, with water, from any well
within the reach of their Hose.
In conclusion, I hope that the Council will examine
the Ordinance (if there is one,) relative
to fires, and make 6uch alterations or amendments,
as will ensure unanimity of action, and
prevent that disorder and confusion which generally
takes place on such occasions. One of
the provisions ot the Ordinance should be, that
any member of the Council be authorized to direct
the blowing up, or tearing down any build- j
ing, when it is necessary for arresting the pro-1
gress of the fire. PHOENIX.

OUR RESUMPTION.
We rise, to-day, Phoenix-like, from the
ashes of the late conflagration, after a suspension
of one week only; and though not
in all the breadth and strength of our former
proportions, yet such as we trust will
be acceptable to our readers, till we can
procure a larger Press, and other materials,
from thg North.^411 onrfour Presses
were destroyed, inc&ding tbe large machine
power Press; atftf none, of the size
formerly used for the paper, was to be
procured, either in this place or Charles,
ton. The smaller one now used,and only
one of any kind to be obtained, was fortunately
found, with various other articles
of immediate necessity, in the possessionofDr.
Landrurn, about four miles from
this place, (forming the principal remains
of the former office ofthe Columbia Hirp.t
and the purchase of it, and other important
articles, has enabled lis to resume publication
much earlier than we expected. Happily,
enough of our type was saved,
through the great exertions of many
friends (to whom we can never be too
grateful,) to enable us to resume without
much difficulty, after restoring it from the
chaos in which it was involved; and in this
and some other respects, our loss has not
been so great as was at first supposed?
the gentlemen who had charge of our business,
having been occupied, first, on the
roof of the buildings, in vain attempts to
protect them from the fire, and a forwards
in endeuvoring to preserve bis own privute
property; so that he had no time to aliend
to the Printing Office, Counting Room, and
Library, and was under the impression, as
staled in the last paper, published while all
was confusion, and before anything certain
could be known,) that nearly the entire
contents of them were destroyed. Our
kind friends, however, to whom we tender
our most grateful acknowledgments,
were most prcseveing and determined, as
well as judicious and untiring in their exertions,
from first to last, and carried out
every thing that could be possibly removed
in as short a time, including mostof the
type, library, accuonl books, and most important
papers. The heavy articles, such
as Presses; office furniture, imposing stones,
stands, library book cases, and a large
| stock ofprintiog paper, &c., in a loft over
I the office, were unavoidably destroyed; and
many tilings removed, where afterwards
lost or destroyed. The Presses and buildings
alone were partially insured?the
whole insurance covering something less
than half the loss.
Interesting Law Report ?In a few days
will be published "a Report of the case of
Edward Prigg, against the Commonwellh
of Pennsylvania, argued and adjudged in
the Supreme Court of the United Slates,
at January term, 1842, in which it was
decided that all the laws of the several
States relative tc fugitive slaves arc unconstitutional
and void; and that Congress
hare the exclusive power of legislation on
the subject of fugitive slaves escaping into
other States, by Richard Peters, Reporter
of the Decisions of the Supreme Court ol
the United Stales."
The importance and interrsi of this publication
to the whole community is well
f etatn/l : n lt?/? riroAi^o I., il.o
"The general and deep interest of all
'cltTzcris o-f ilie l/iiited .-States in the case
now published, has induced the Ileportei
to present it to the public in its present
j form, before the regular reports of the case
decided at the late term of the Supreme
Court of the United Stales can be completed.
The principles of constitutional law
which have been applied in this ca-?e tc
the legislation of the several slates rela
live to fugitive >Iaves, have established
the invalidity of all the slate laws on this
subject. Hereafter, under the Conslitu
lion of the United States, Congress wil
have, exclusively, the protection and main
tcnance of the rights of the master over his
absconded slave, and can alone supply the
means of executing the Constitution of the
United States for the arrest of such fugi
; lives, and for their being carried back to
the stale from which they may have escaped.
No state judicial officer, tinder the
authority of state laws, can act in the mat
; tcr; no such ofliccr is bound to act; ant
Congress have no right to call upon such
j officers to carry into effect the laws enacted
by the government oflhe United States,

FROM FLORIDA.

By the steamer Newbern, Capt McNelty,
I the Editors of the Georgian have received from

Correspondence of the Savannah Georgian.
Florida, April 22, 1812.
My dear sir:?The troops in the field, commanded
by Col. Worth in person, after some
efforts, succeeded on the 19th in bringing the
enciny under Ilalleck-tus-te-nug-gee to action
in the hammocks near the sand-hills. Alter a
severe and well contested fight the enemy precipitately
fled; their route was complete; ail their
baggage and food were taken; the enemy's loss
was one killed, and two wounded, and one prisoner;
our loss, one private killed, and three
wounded. It is said that the Indians fought
with the most determined courage, and only gave
ground at the point of the bayonet. Lt. A-nold.
2nd Dragoons, charged the enemy's line with orif
ly four men, one of them was killed and two
wounded. Col. Worth was within twenty feet
of the soldier killed.
In haste, y./jrs.
NEW-ORLEANS, APRIL 25.
Latent from Texas.?The steam ship Neptune,
arrived on Saturday morning in 20 hours from
Ga!\eston. The papers contain a long letter
from President Houston, in which tiie necessity
for an invasion of Mexico is urged: but his Ex
i
I cellency is in favor of procrastinating thatmeasj
ure until the meeting of Congress, and the troops
J are thoroughly diesciplined. An enrollment of
i tiie militia is recommended by the President. (
O unmArn nf mnvomonto nnnn fVia
OUJIiU gUIieiai JlllllW.W Vl U.V.VUIVUIO w?v,
Mexican frontier are mentioned in the paper.
VVc infer from what we gather from the news,
as well through the press as from private sources
that Mr. Houston (as Santa Anna designates
his Excellency) is not in high favor with the people
of Texas, and that the brandy bottle has well
nigh used up the faculties, locomotive and reflective,
of the hero of San Jacinto?so much the
worse for Texas. The volunteers under Gen.
Burleson refused to obey the orders of Gen.
Somervillc, who had been ordered by the Presi- j
dent to take command of the forces. They had
no confidence in the Chief Magistrate nor in any 1
one appointed by him. The President seems to
cherish a mortal enmity to the most prominent
men in Texas?hence the confusion and failure
of the expedition, which it was expected would '
cross the Rio Grande.
President Houston has issued an address to r
the people, in which he sets forth the causes j
which compel Texas to make war. He says it j
will not be a war of agression, "but one which
the civilized world will justify?one that is due .
to ourselves?one to which Mexico has provoked
our exertions?one to be conducted upon the
most exalted principles, not directed against the
nationality of Mexico?not opposed to its reli- |
gion?but a war upon its despots and oppressors. t
In its prosecution, the husbandman will not be j
disturbed in the cultivation of his farm. The (
resources of Texas will be developing, whilst her
arms will be employed in avenging the wrongs
which she has sustained."
All citizens and emigrants are earnestly called
upon to immediately .oun themselves into volunteer
companies, and hold themselves in readiness
to march at a moment's warning.
MARRIED?On the 21st ult by the Rev. Mr. '
Hanckel, Mr. Benjamin Warren, formerly of
this place, to Miss Mart Elizabeth, daughter
of the late John A. Warren, of Colleton District.
