EDGEFIELD C. H. THURSDAY, MARCH 18, 1841. .-The JHon. F. W. PICKENS, arrived home from Washington, on the 12th inst. The great length of the Inaugural Ad dress, which we publish to-day, must be -ur excuse for the exclusion of other valu able matter which, in consequence, has been crowded out. The Rains.-Since our last paper, a lar ger quantity of rain has fallen, than has been known for many years. Much dam age has been sustained by the loss of bridg es, and we have no doubt that low ground plantations, upon the rivers and creeks, have suffiered materially. The Rail Road soo, must have been much injured, as up :to the time we write, we have had no quails from Charleston or Columbia, since uTesday, the 9th inst. The mail due at -this place from Hamburg and Augusta, on Thursday morning last, did not arrive .until Saturday evening. Hamburg has again been overflowed, but the damage was comparatively small, as the rise in the Savannah was so gradual, as to give the merchants sufficient time to save the most valuable of all their goods. The injury to Cotton has been trifling. We publish an extract from the Hamburg Journal, giving a more definite description of the freshet, which will be found in another column. We learn, by report, that the Rail Road Bridge over the Edisto River, .has been swept away, and much damage .otherwise done to the Rail Road. We -hope, however, to have a Charles:on and Northern mail before our paper goes to press The observation of our readers, will have corroborated our own. that there is a gen eral tendency, at present, toward a reduc. iea of credits, and an increased circum spection in giving them.- Men warned by experience, are less eager to sell goods, property, or products, on credit; and less ready to consider a mere promise to pay, in future, however formal, the synonyma ofactual payment. Coincident with this, is their increased reluctance to run in debt not universal, by any means, nor perhaps 4o general as it should be, but far more prevalent, than a few years since. We trust that the events of the last few years, with the controversies now in progress, will work out a thorough reform, in the - matter ofcredits; we have no fear that "have greatfaith in the credit system, and dislike credit without system. We hope t o see more regularity-more security and more system in the manner of giving credit, than has hitherto prevailed in this country. We hope to see the day, when the man who needs to borrow a few hun - dred of dollars, to improve his farm, or in crease safely, and advantageously, his bu siness, will he almost certain of obtaining it on perfect security; while at the .same time, the whole business of petty indebted ness-of accounts running on with the Merchant, the Tailor, &c. &c., will be dispensed with altogether. Under such a state of things, there would, at any rate, be fewer foolish and improvident purchases *made, if payment were invariably requir ed, on the delivery of the article pur chased. The subject is worthy the atten tion of all business men. We have received the " Magnolia, or Southern Monthly," published by P. C. Pendleton, at Savannah, Ga. The terms are five dollars per annum, in advance. | The Contents of the number before us, -are entirely original. Among the contri butors to it, are W. Gilmore Simmis, Esq., of South Carolina, and the Hon. Richard a Henry Wilde, of Augusta, Ga. There is much matter in it, of an interesting and an - .perior character. The mechanical execu tion of the work is very neat. We hope, that this periodical w-ill not be suffered to languish, like too many of its predecessors, but that it will receive a generous patron mjge from the Southern public. The Paineaville (Ohio) Republican,hav ing died of, a short time since, the Editor . of the Conneaut Gazette, has caused to have hung up in hlhoffce, a blacking bot tie and a pair of shofrer., for sixty days, se evidence of his grief, at its sudden de -mise. * The Spirit of the Times," is the title - .ofi spirited lit'le paper, just started in * Charleston, under the stiperintendence of A. 3. Muir, Esq. We learn, says the Charleston Courier, "that. the Hon. Win. J. Grayson, late member of Congress. from Beaufort and Colleton District, will certainly be ap pointed Collector of the Port of Charles ton; and that this will probably be the only oficial change that will be made by the new administration, in that city." A Grand Rewoard.-The Legislature of Kentucky have passed a resolution offer ing a reward of 83,000 tor the discovery of the cause of the Milk Sickness in Cows, It is said that John Jacob Astor orNew York, has lost a million of dollars by the failure of the United States Bank. For the Advertiser. Ma. EDITOR-I was so much pleased with the moral of the following beautiful lines, which I read a short time since in a newspaper, that I must ask the favor of you to publish them in the Advertiser. The sentiment contained in these stanzas, should be impressed upon every human heart. If it were more generally felt, who could estimate the amount of good it would effect? R. "I HAVE NO INFLUENCE." What if the little rain should say, So small a drop as 1, Can ne'er refresh those thirsty fields, I'll tarry in the sky! What if a shining beam of noon, Should in its fountain stay, Because its feeble light alone, Cannot create a day ? Doth not each rain drop help to forin The cool, refreshing shower; And every ray of light to warm, And beautify the flower ? Another Freshet.-The heavy fall of rain, which continued for some days have swollen our river to a fresher, coming tip to about four feet of last May's flood. The river commenced rising on Tuesday last, and did not get to its height until about 12 o'clock at night on Thursday. The lower port of the city was overflow ed, and the water rose into sone of the store-houses, from 3 inches to 3 feet. W-. are, however, gratified' to learn, that but little damage has been sustained, with the exception of a few thousand bushels of salt, that could not be raised in time. Pro fiting by the lesson received last spring, our merchants began. in time to move their goods up, and thereby have come off with a very trifling loss: the hand hire being the greatest item, if we except the salt, as before stated. Market street, on which the business formerly was done,- kept dry and comfortable. The water had to rise some three feet more to overflow it. We have been informed by one of our merchants, that he has not lost 124 cts. by the freshet, although the water was idf his store. The warehouses have escaped, not a bale lost, and the damage done to the cotton, by the water, will not exceed two hundred dollars, notwithstanding there are some thousand bales in store. The bridges are repaired, and every thing in pretty good order.-Hamburg Journal, 13th inst. The Freshet.-Our citizens, up to yes terday. when it was observed that the river was falling, had been laboring under the most intense anxiety for the previous two days, in fearful anticipation of su-h another freshet as that of last May. They the river did not rise within fve or six feet as high as on that occasion, consequently it did not get into the city. . The injury therefore, s confined exclusively to the wharves, the extentof which cannot be as certained as they are yet covered with wa ter. Hamburg has however suffered again considerably, as a great portion of the busi ness part of the town was inundated, and the water standing from six inches to three feet in most of the stores. The loss of property will however be small compared wtth last spring as the rise in the river was so-gradual as to give the citizens warning. The injury to plantations on the road is no doubt great, but we have had no intel ligence of the extent. The Rail Roads too, have probably come in for a consider able share of the damages, as we have had no mails since Wednesday from any quar ter.-Chron. Sj Sentinel, 13th inst. Commencement of the College of Charles gon.-Our community united yesterday, with unabated enthusiasm, and in undi minished numbers, in the celebration of the annual commencement of this valued and cherished institution, which imparts the blessings and advantages of a liberal education to its sons, without estranging them from "the sweet endearments" or hollowed influences of home. The pro. cession was formed at the College, and was the largest ever known on such on . occasion in this city-and forming a part' of it was his E xcellency the Governor ot the State, with his Aids, the Mayor and Aldermen of the city, the Reverend Cler gy, and the United States, State and City Judiciary. Ott entering the Church a beautiful and brillantspectacle wasexhib ited-its spacious area was thronged with the beauty and fashion of the city-presen ttng the appearanuce of a great flower gar den in the bloom of living lovliness. We regret much that a pressing and indispen sable professional engagemneut denied us the power of attendance until near the close of the exercises, Ithe last speaker but one having commenced before we arrived) and has consequently disabled us from giving a detailed comment on the several perfor mances. We have been assured, howev er, by competeur judges, that the whole performance was in the highest degree creditable to the institution and the class, and that the latter fully realized asSeniors; their brilliant promise as Jutniorq, at the previous annual commencement. They all evinced a manly, elevated anti inde pendenit straitn of thought, an easy, distinct elocution and graceful delivery,and a style of composition,. a t once chaste nd eloquent; and taking the last twvospeakers as a test. our own judgment confirms the report of others. It is worthy of note, as setting an examptle for imitation, that the addresses were of that judicious length, which broke none of their pleasing effet, by fatigning the attention of the audience.-Charles ton 'Courier. FROM FLORIDA. SMore Indian Murders-Further exrempli fication of the wchite flag policy,. The following intelligence from Florida, iS copiedl frotm the Savannah Georgian of he 7th instant, by which it will be aeon hat more lives .have been sacrificed in a By the U. S. Stoamcr- den. Taylor, Capt. Peck, we Irave received from our attentive correspondent the subljoined let ter. Lieut. Alburtis, with IS men, was at tracted by the report of rifles to the spot where the Corporal lay, and 70 or 80 In dians rejoicing over his body. Lieut. A. gave them a volley, which, he thinks, killed a number. The Indians then offered battle, and after sustaining himself for an hour against this AIrce, and having exhausted his ammunition, lie re tired to his post. Reinforced, he sallied out a second time, and another fight ensu ed, but the Indians forced him to retire to his post with two men of his force killed and six wounded. The Dragoons and Infantry are in pur suit. Nothing new from Tampa. The Indians have not gone west. Correepondence of the Savannah Georgian. FLORIDA, March 3d, 1841. Under (late of the 15th ultimo, I appriz ed you of the negociations gning on, and of the expectations of many in relation thereto, but warned you not to place any reliance upon the ud ians. Have my pre. t'ictions been verified ? Listen. Yester day, Lt. Alburtis, Comt'g. company K., 2d Infantry, was attacked at his post (Fort Brooks, on the Oclawaha) by 100 Indians, supposed to be Alleck-tuste-nugee's band; the circumstances, (so far as they have been ascertained from a soldier just from the scene of action.) are these: A Corporal, out hunting, was killed; some of his comrades who escaped, report ed to Lt. Alburtis that the Indians, in force were near him. Taking with him 18 men, he sallied out, leaving the rest of his com pany in the block house, with orders in case they were attacked not to yield. Lt. Al burtis, in a few moments, fell in with the Indians, and an action commenced which lasted upwards of an hour. Our brave men were forced to retreat, but lid so in good order, keeping up a continued fire un til their ammunition was exhausted. Be ing cut off from their own post, they retir edI to Fort Russell. Capt. Barnum, with a large force, immediately started in pur suit. A command of fifty men from Fort Hoimes were also out together with 100 dragoons from Pilatka. . The soldier from whom the above islderived, says he believes but one man was killed unai five or six wounded. A number of Indians were seen to fallduring the action. We shall have the full particulars to-morrow; perhaps this afternoon's express may tell us some thing. If.the Way Bill contains an endorse ment, I will endeavor to obtain permission of the Quarter Master to copy it. Yours truly. FURTHER AND LATER FROM FLORIDA. The schr. Empire, Capt. Southwick, arrived here last evening, from St. Augus tine, by which vessel we received the fol lowing extra, from our attentive correspon dent at that place: Office of the News, ST. AUGUsTINE, March 7. Information reached here last evening, that an express arrived at Pilatka, from Fort Russell, on the night of the 4th, bring :...... .....as,. omr. D., lws, -with *one hundred men, (including nine mount ed,) came up with the Indians, (whom Lt. Alburtis had been compelled to retreat from, on account of the smallntess of his force,) at the - head of Orange Lake, and commenced an attack upon mthem. Capt. B. had placed the nine mounted men in ambush, as a reserve, and led on the ethers; but finding theindians in such a body, he made a signal for the mounted men to come up. No sooner was the signal made, when the Indians, having cut off these men from the main body, fired upon them, killing six, !and the other three retreated to the Fort, being wounded. The express was immediately sent ofi'to Pilsika, without knowing any thing further. The wounded men state that Capt. B. was still fighting. Capt. Cat r, 2d dragoomns, with one hun dred men, was sentout from Pilstka a few days previous, and returned shortly after the express had arrived from Fort flussell. He immediately supplied his men with provisions, and started for Capt. B's. bat tle ground. It is impossible to give the particulars, under such a circumstance. There is no knowinig the loss, as yet, that Capt. B. has met with. Lieut. Albertus had lost six or seven men the day before, in his skirmish with the Indians, and wvas forced to retreat on account of their numn ber. This looks very much like "peace." P. S.-T. S. Brown, the Canada Gen eral, who wvas appointed to treatiwith the idians, after going to Tampa Bay, was not countenanced by Gen. Armistead, and was very wisely given permission to return. The Indians have not beetn shipped from Tampa Bay. They are, no doubt, to be let loose again ! . Aucus-rA, March 10. Couen-Onr market to-day has been very languidl, the late accounits from Liverpool to 9th nIt.; showing a slight decline in that market, has caused putrchtasarsto hold back, whilst hold era appear desirous, to sell at some reduction.

Money Market.-Thte unsettled state of things which wec have been compelled to note for some time back continues to exist, andI was somewhat increased to-day, rendering confusion itself con fused, by the receip of the intelligence that all the Columbns Ga. B1an ks had suspended specie payments on Monday last.

The perfectly safe, unerring, and success ful treatment of almost every species ofdiseast bythe useofMOFFAT'S LIFEMEDICINES is no longer a matter or doubt, as a reference to the experience of many thousand patients wid satisfactorily prove. During the present monti alone, nearly one hundred cases have come ti the knowledge ofMr. Moffat, where the paien has, to all appearance, effected a permanen cure by the exclusive and judicious use of th, Life Medicines-some eight or ten of thee had been considered beyond all hope by thela medical attendants. Strch happy results are source of great pleasure to Mr. M. and inspiri him with new confidence to recommend the use of his medicines to his fellowy-citizens. - The LIFE MEDICINES are a purely VE GETABLE preparation. They are mild ant pleasant in their operation, and at the sami time thorough-acting rapidly u ion the .'ecre tions of the system-carrying op all acrimelli ous -humors, and assimilating with and purify ing the blood. For this reaqon, in agravate< cases of Dyspepsia, the Life Mcdicmes wil give relief in a shorter space of time than an) other prescription. In Fever-and-Ague, In flammatorv Rheumatism, Fevers ofevery des cription, Sick Headache, Hearthurn, Dizzinesf in the Head, Pains inl the Chest, Flatulency impaired appetite, and in every disease arising from an impurity of the blood, or a disorderci state of the stomach, the use of these Medicinej has -dways proved to he beyond doubt grealy superior to any other mode of treatment.
