occasioned by the clash of .arms and Indian yell, it was

Mississippi, this side ol Cassvillo, have come in to-day,
•and intend to remain uniil the war is ended. It is
now viewed to be very unsafe to*go one mile from this
1’lice without :i lormidahle guard.
A gentleman who has just arrived, states that he left
an army of two lirigndes on the waterS of Apide r iver on
the night of the 29th. One*is.to report to (Jen. Dodge,
wlio will uninediately take command of them,
Gen. Atkinson, wo learn, has at length commenced his
line ol march with about 1301) mounted men, and 500
regulars, lie is moving on the cast side ol Kook river.
JULY 3.—Hull the horsemen left under command of
7 ***1; Cra,«* ,0< reconnoitering expeditions, have boon or
dered to range and scour the country from Itice’s farm, on
t ie mouth ol Small Pox creek to Howie’s Furnace, and
thence to Galena—and the other halt to march to the
mouth of the Cincinaway, thence ranging between it and
•the Menominee eastwardly, to Vinegar llill, and thence
■to Galena.
In crossing the*country from Bison’s to Galena,» -vcral
•urge and recent (rails of Indians were discovered proceed
•mg apparently from the Mississippi, near Plum river, and
going in tho direction of the Four lake*. From accounts
-givon, as wo understand, by sotno ciigageos who latelv
descended the Missouri, we are almost confirmed in the
■opinion, that these trails were made by parties ot Indians
’Coming from the different tribes on the Missouri
There are no rangers about Plum river to confirm this
opinion, hut a passenger in the Warrior slates, that the
banks are much cut up near that place. Gen. Atkinson
■has, after ordering the brigades under Generals Posey ami
Alexander, to cross Hock river, and operate on this side in
conjunction with Gen. Dodge, marched with the rceulni
droops and Gen Henry’s brigade, for the Indian camp: ai

ol volunteers, said to be very well equipped, have been
ordered on 4 m route to Galena, to report to Colonel
March or Colonel Holmes, and receive their instruction"
•until they gel orders from a higher source. Should the
Indian< stand l light, no matter if they are vanquished oi
Victorious, (tho latter wo do not believe they will be,) Ga
lena will, in our opinion, be in more danger than at any
funner period; as, it they do not proceed directly lor Cana
da, or Dm Chippewa country, they will undoubtedly sepa,
.rate tor the purpose of marauding and distressing tho coun
ty*. There has been great dlliiculty at head quarters in
obtaining correct intelligence from important points in the
country, as many expresses have been compelled to'rc
tmn without oxectttuig their orders in delivering their
letters. The campaign lias now commenced, and undei
very fair prospects for success, considering the front line ol

and tho difficulties attending the forwarding of provisions,

THE QUESTION.
I herc is a great struggle at hand between the two parties
im J*. C. Messrs. Calhoun, Hamilton. Haync, McDuf
ln\ Preston, rumbull, Hartiwell, Smitli, Harper, Desau.s
*ure» Coo|M»r, rum mutt is nliia, ol the Free Trade ui.l
State High Is Party—ami Win. Smith, PeUgru, Drayton
^mrett, linger, Illair, Mitchell, *c. &c. o( tllo (jIlioi;
ami State Rights Party, are to take the fiehl against each
other. Judge Smith has just returned to South Carolina,
and is about to publish the npuecli he delivered in the
State Senate at its last session. Since the final passage of
the 1 arill loll, wo have not heard ol its echo hum the Slate
—hut we are uppreh.. that the rejection ol all the
Senate s had amendments will have no effect to propiti*
ato the nulliiiers. Judging from all the signs ol the
times, we are assured that their leaders Mill cry onwards.
Mr. Calhoun in his reply to the cllizelis of Laurens Dis
trict, ol the lltli May.declared ns follows:
“I do most sincerely tmlieve Unit It,.. of Carolina is t!,o cause
rUllT’.<" l.*'b.nrtr lh0 Pninn. My oiiinion has not
l>< <11 hastily r.miKled. It h tlm result of much reflection itml tong oh
servano"; mm I mn prepared to tost its sincerity by sharing the fate of
the State, be it what it may.
“OnrUovernnieiit iscleurly tending towards consolidation; and on
Consolidation, corruption, oppression, and linally monarchy, most
I losely press. I here is hut one remedy, hut I I rust that is all .-utli
cicnt to avert such calamities—the revived rights of the Slates,
i uny arc the only solid toaiulatioii of American liberty. < >,, t|,j,
roch our father* placed it, ug.l there let us be prepared to maintuin
I he Speeches mul Toast* or the Ith July too indicate a
determined spirit ol N unification. Doth parlies arc noWbn
the alert. I he election ol' members of the Legislature i»
approaching. If the friends ol Nullification should ohtniu
a very derided majority in Imth branches, (Governor Ha
milton will probably call an Extra meeting of the Legis
lature—and they will proceed to nullify, before Congress
can meet.— What Is, the precise measure they will adopt, is
of c irse not ascertained—If they cannot command 2-3ds
ot the Legislature, they cannot call a Convention, and it
will remain with the Legislature themselves to take their
measures upon their own responsibility. Will they con
tent themselves with declaring tho Tariff law unconstitu
tional, and recommending to the Juries to set aside all the
merchant’s Bonds?—or will they pursue tho idea of Ly*
curgus ill the Charleston Evening Post, and pass, as he
presumes, a bill like the following ?

" e have even heard hints thrown out, that they would
declare any man, who should attempt to carry the Tariff
law in force, guilty ol Treason to the State !
But the friends of Nullification may not yet know what
form it may assume. The C. Mercury only, says, that as
the President has arrested the operation of the Bank hy
liis veto, “South t arolina wilptukc caro to arrest the
other (the 1 arid, by her veto, jve presume.)—Let it
come, however, when it may, or how it may, it will prove
a perilous experiment for the Union oi these States.
„ H cac*‘ °f the 2-4 States can veto, or nullify, any act of
Congress, ad libitum, how long can this Union last?—
Pennsylvania might nullify an Excise law,—Virginia, an
Alien and Sedition law,—Massachusetts, in tho midst ol
war, while the enemy was at our gate®, might nullify a
law for calling out the militia,—8. Carolina, a Tariff law.
How long could the Union stand these repeated shocks
from fonr-and-twenty different members?
But according to Mr. Calhoun’s doctrine, S. Carolina
will nullify only until a Convention of tho States shall
meet and three-fourths of the States decide against tier.
W here does Mr. C. lind this power ol railing a Convention
on the requisition of one ol the States? Surely not in the
Constitution. And suppose all the States will not agree
to go into Convention on the requisition of one of its co
States, what then?
•Again—S. Carolina says, we will not pay our dues to
the Federal Treasury, hut as we please. Will she claim
the services ot the Federal (lovcrnmcnt, while she refu
ses to contribute to its support? Will she send Represen
tatives ,0 Congress—and will they claim tlvrir wages,
while she puts nothing in’o the Treasury? Will she he
in the Union, and out of the Union, at the same.lime?
j Her nullifying politicians screen themselves under the
precedent ot Mr. Jefferson, and his Kentucky resolutions!
But do they parry his precedent through? Far from it.
In liis 7th Resolution lie proposes “that a Committee oj
Confvn nee and Correspondence he appointed, who shall
have in charge, to communicate the preceding resolutions
to Uie Legislatures of the several Stajes, to assure them
that this Common wealth continues in the same esteem for
their friendship and union which it has manifested from
j MM moment at which a common danger first suggested a
j common union”—(and then tlio resolution goes on to recite
the Message to the other States, among other passages,
tli.it “a uullification of the act is the rightful remedy”)—
and concluding hy expressing the hope, “that the co
t states recurring to their natural right, in cases not made
federal, will concur in declaring these acts void and of no
| force, and will each take measures of its own tor providing
that neither these acts, nor any others of the general go
| vernment, not plainly and intentionally authorized hy the
, constitution, shall l»c exercised within their respective ter*
1 i,itories.*’
In pursuance of Ihi*scheme, (he Dili Resolution de
clares, “ I lint the said Committee he authorised to commu
nicate, !>v writing or personal conferences, at any times or
places whatever, with any person or persons who may he
appointed by any one or more of the co-states to corres
pond or confer with them; and that they lay their pro
ceedings before the nest session of Assembly
Here we distinctly understand Mr. Jefferson to say, that
not until snrh a communication has been made with Iter co
states, should any state undci-luke to nullify the acts of the
fJeneral (»overnmcnf, And will 8. Carolina now under
fake, of her own motion, without any warning, and with
out any consultation on this delicate course with her sis
ter states; to rush into iitillificnlion ?—to rush too at a mo
ment, when the revenue has lieen reduced since 1828,
from 8 to II millions of dollars—when the icc has thus
been broken—when all the anti-tariff slates are determin
ed to unite their whole strength lor a further modification
—-not to rest, until the revenue is cut down to the neces
sary wants of the government—and when the cause has so
many able advocates, and so many chances of ultimate
success ? Is this the time for so novel, so perilous an ex
periment ? The citizens of Virginia will spare no efforts,
we sic confident, to reduce this abominable system.—
I h**y go for small expence, small revenue, small power
—but they warn their friends in South Carolina against
nullification.
Never was there a more certain defeat, titan what the I
friend*of M r. Clay are destined to witness in October next. I
—They have attempted an inroad upon Maine—but they ;
j are deceived. Instead of the solitary star in the Hast, ns
I It was in 1828, the whole of Maine and New Hampshire j
I will ko for Jack ton.—Our accounts from N. York are most
! satisfactory. The friends of Clay are calculating on the .
I effects of the flank Veto in Pennsylvania.—They arc most •
grossly deceived—Philadelphia herself will rally a strong ;
force for Jackson, as the meeting of last evening will pro
bably prove. And more than 50 of the most respectable
Citizens of Pittsburg have called a Jackson Republican
Meeting for the 17th, to “express their opinion in refer
ence to that institution called the Hank of the U. S.” And
what says the Harrisburg Reporter of the 20lh?
“We publish in today’s paper Prcxidont Jackson's reason* for re
fiHiv' to sign the hill re chnrl< ring the United Hlati s think. Many
with whom we have xenvi rsod, consider the objections ns tmnns
wcrnhle. while otlie" Imvit expressed n rontrary opinion. It has
rrcatod out little public excitement here, hccntiso our interests are

of thn town fee) themselves ilisa|ipninted: hill in the eoitnlry. few
rare mneh almnf the hank. As tor ourselves, we nttrsf confess, wo
air friendly to the re charteringoflhn institution, hut we do not feel
disposed to quarrel with the President, because ho thought proper to
exorcise n constitutional right, in a question which he conceives in
volves principles that are unconstitutional. We like an executive to
I entertain n constitutional opinion, and If ncccsxity requires, to express
it. 'Phis President Jackson has done, and we are satisfied,’*
Wo have no doubts at nil of Pennsylvania , (arwl if any
gentleman has the slightest doubts ol the sincerity t»f tlrta
declaration, he can lest them, if he pleases, by the old Vir
ginia motlc of wager.)
As to Virginia, not a single shadow flits over her broad
disc. A million of rtnolminnn, a volume of .^t/rbrs.scs,
and the strongest ticket that could l»c parked together,
could no* shake her for an inrt n *
Jackson will lie in elected hi lliumph Tliolu i* nol .i
Iiiiiinciit.il y don lit of it.
Tlie Augusta Constitutionalist declares, “that tin; vote
of Georgia 11 not doubtful. A* certain as Gon. Jackson
will receive the vote of Georgia, as certain w ill M artin Van
Huron lie on the same ticket lor the Vice Presidency.”
ITT Since penning the above, we have seen Letters, by
yesterday email, w hich give the most auspicious account'!
bom Ohio and Pennsylvania—since the reception ol the
Hank \ eto in those States. Prospects, arc most tlattoring
in those .pinners. It i« seld that Gen. Jackson would re
?o!,Vu° votes, which he did not obtain in
i i,.i . , oto was received with acclamation in Port
land, (Maine)—and a meeting was to be held, and strong
Resolutions passed. In Portsmouth (N. 11 ) the Veto was
received with a salute of 100 gun.—ami J* lie mm Hall
was Inilliautly lighted up, on the occasion.
IN i in PiuLDl
" « :"c gl»«> 'o see the friends ot Mr. Clay in Virginia
taking the field. The friends of Jackson Cun meet
them, if they please—cope with them, if necessary—and
heut them with case. The question at i*sue is, Clay_or
Jackson?— 1 he fathorof the American System; or the friend
ol its modification on Liberal Principles? The friend ol
a National Hank (after having been ils decided enemy on
constitutional grounds,) or the open Vetoist of ibis mam
moth Institution?—Die advocate of an unbounded, or the
hiond ol a limited, system ot Internal Improvement? The
man, who would extend the powers of the Federal <jo- !
yernment, or ho who would restrain, them? Choose ye !
between them. Hut the Citizens of Virginia will not, do
nol, hesitate one moment. The victory of 18:J2 will be
more brilliant than that of 1828.
LOUISIANA ELECTION.
Messrs. \\ bite and Thomas have been re-elected to
Congress—the former without opposition—the latter beat
mg G«n. Ripley by a very few votes—Mr. Bullard’s dis
tnct not filially heard from. Messrs. Canonge, Duplcssi*,
lloa, Mari guy, Daurnoy, and Grymcs, ar<« elected Repre
sentatives to the State Legislature from New Orleans—5
it not (i, staunch supporters of the present Administration.
THE DIFFERENCE!
T lie charter of the Hank of England expires next year
—but, notwithstanding j(s early dissolution, it has been
determined to stilnnit the question to a reformed Leaitla
ftoc. I lie Hank ol the United States does not expire till
March, 1330—hut, notwithstanding tliisdistant interval,the
l»iink has been indecent enough to press a renewal ol its
charter, although a new Congress under the Jatc census
is to come in, alter the -Itli of March next. Why (his con
trast ? In England, they have no new magistrate to elect
—hut in the United States, the election ol the President is
to be made during thin untuinn!

“ The cholera is now decidedly and apparently most

iNKoitMATiON \N anted.—For some time past the
counties of Kssex, King tk. Queen, Middlesex and (Jlou
cestcr, have been visited iij a stranger, who goes hour
house to house, mostly among widows of good family, or
among men of loWer talents. U here lie goes he takes nty
denial; but gels down, goes iii, and seems to make himself
easy—and generally buds some opportunity to get with
and talk With slaves. I his causes him to ho much sus
pected as a troublesome man among the blacks. We know
not whether we have ever learned his real name; for at
one place if is understood to he one ; at another place ano
ther. For example:—At one place Chizzh—the next
( hism - -the third ( Idles. I lie other day there was a
warrant to arrest him in King Si Queen : It was accord
ingly done. Here his name was understood to be Isham
Uaiulolph ( hcadlo, from Prince Mduurd county. lie wan
set at liberty again. I• 111 it has been aseerlaincd since,
that he told tilings not true while under examination
—that is. he said lie had certain acquaintances in the
city of Richmond, formerly of this county. These gentle
men inform us they have no knowledge of such a man.
As we are the subscribers for and readers o! your paper,
rye ask the kindness to have this notice inserted in the
Lnrjuirer, that we may lieaf something more about tile
man, and thereby he the better prepared to meet his wiles.
He appears to liabo been raised well, and of an intelligent
mind. He is-artful in his address, very caution* in Ifis an
swers, and rather evasive in his replies. S^hmild'rtiis no
tice meet the eye of any person who is acquainted with
j our v»s'tor, they will please give us information through
j the sauto medium. Is he deranged ? or what business is
| he engaged in ?
