The loss of the whites was nine killed, among them the brave Creek chief, Moniac; and seventeen wounded, among whom were Capt. Ross, of the Marines, and Capt. Maitland, of the Army. Of the enemy ten were left dead on the field, and many supposed to be carried ofT. The army is now at Volusia, where it is receiving an ample supply of provisions, for the want of which it has suffered, and its operations have been greatly retarded.

We select that part which relates to the public revenue and the deposite bill, knowing it to be that which the public are most anxious to see. We shall copy the remainder next week. We now have time for only the following very brief outline. The message gives a succinct account of our foreign relations,which are pacific. It refers in proper temper to the late withdrawal ofthe Mexican minister, and expresses a hope that his government will take a more dispassionate and just view of the subject. The result of the confidential enquiries into tiie condition of Texas is promised during the Session. Then follows the part of the message contained in our columns. After which follows an argument in favor of specie currency, and against the United States Bank. The message next states that the object of the 'Treasury order' to receive only specie for public lands,was to check speculation in these lands, and that this object was measurably ac compnsneu; ana u rccoiumunus rc?ir?tiuijj mv sale of public lands to actual settlers The President 'maintains that the depositc banks have answered a better purpose than the U. S. Bank did, as fiscal agents of tiie government. A reduction of the duty on salt, provisions and fish is recommended. The old U. S. Bank is again introduced and complained of in strong terms for not paying dividends on the stock held in it. by the government,& for issuing the old notes under the new charter. It is contended that either the Government, as a part of the original corporation, is liable for these notes, or no one is, and in this case the issuing of them must be a fraud.

The Courier des Elats Unix, a French 1 | paper published in New-York, publishes j the final letter of M. Gorostiza, the late Mi- j | nister of Mexico to this country, to the Pre- j' ' sident. It complains in strong, though I courteous terms, of the U.S. Government. 1 i for invading the Mexican territory, and I : ; states that the Minister was satisfied, from [ : the explanations which had been given him i i on the part of tl>c U.

Mexico had little to expect from this conn- : I try?and that, on his own responsibility, he j I terminated his mission, and requested his : : passports to be sent to him to Philadelphia, ( i whither it was his purpose to go the next J j dav. The note of Mr. Dickens, acting Secrc- j tary of the Treasury, is also published in j j the same paper, in which the President 1 communicates his regret that an erroneous j j appreciation of the measures which lie felt > called upon to adopt for the defence of the j 1 frontier, caused M.

But the more intellect i a man has. if void of moral principle, the j more injury will he do. Sa'an has gigan- i tie intellect, but he is the Devil still. A community must not only be intelii-' ( gent, but it must be governed by the prin. j ciples of the Gospel, if it would he happy j ! arid free. The existence of our Republic ; depends upon the enlightened moral south 1, incuts of the people, and hence every friend of liberty?every enemy of the "Mail of I Sin," must deopiv rejrret that so many of the ! ilcar youth of our country are growing up,! without tlic means of even a common school education, or being taught while young the " lirst principles of the oracles of God." Kven many parents who profess to "fear God and keep his commandments," permit their children to stroll on the Sabbath, like ; the wild ass's colt upon the mountains," ' without any moral restraint. Only a few years past, and the friends of JtMis, and the , ' friends of youth, who mourned over these desolations of society, knew not how to re lieve the case, until Robert Raikcs resolved to t-r-y?to collect the children together from the lanes and alleys of the city, and ; the highways and hedges" of the country, ( into Sabbath Schools, and teach them to ( read and understand the Rible.

These books j ] are all published under the control of a , com mk tee of eight men. Two of them are ; Methodist, two of them Baptist, two of them ! ] Presbyterians, and two of tlicm Episcopalians, and no book, nor sentence of a book, i ! can be published, without the unanimous [ consent of the whole. I As a Society, however, it lias no connce- < : tion whatever with any denomination, nor : has any denomination, as such, ever had j i any connection whatever with it.

The 4th ar- j ticic of tlie constitution says, "Tiie officers ! and managers shall he laymen, and shall j be elected by ballot."

In the prosecution of this design, I have < visited most of the principal cities and towns in the Southern States, with a view j of engaging suitable men, who should go j from neighborhood to neighborhood 6c from I county to county, and wherever a sufficient number of children could be found, there to make an effort to form a Sunday School, j and if successful, to sec that it has a library \ worth not less than ten dollars; and also, j to solicit funds in aid of the object. In the latter, I have been encouragingly success- j ful; but in tlx? former, I have " labored in : vain"?I have not been able to secure the j services of any brethren in South Carolina ! or Georgia. This 1 deeply regret, believing as I do that it would he altogether besf, that the agents who may undertake this work, should be men brought up among : you?men whom the churches know, and i in whom the public have long reposed confidence ; but I have tried in vain, until vcars f ? have passed without much being done.
