brother James expressed bis sorrow that he could not come more speedily to bis relief, and stated that it was in consequence of having to take the prisoners the distance of a mile to give them up to Geo. Harrison, the commending officer. He however felt it his duty to ssy that, after he had received permission to charge the enemy, neither Gen. Harrison, Gov. Shelby, or any one else, except himself and other officer* of hts regiment, bad command of that regiment, or any part thereof. The fighting waa done by that regiment alone.

In the tetter of Gen. Habbwoh to Mr. Lyons, of Richmond Virginia, dated let June, 1640, is the following passage', fix; n In answer to the inquiry, why I used the word 'abolition/ in designating a society of which I was a.member in .Richmond,'!)] the year 1792, instead of the ward ‘humane,’ which ia known to be the one by which the society wti really distinguished, all ! can say upon the subject is, that if 1 did really term it an Abolition Society, a fact which I can atilt hardly believe, (for I have not been able to see the paper containing my address to the people of the diitrie in 1822,) it must have been from forgetfulness, which might easily happen after a lapse of 31 years. At any rare, the word abolition was not understood - to mean in 1822 what it now meant. Thera can be no doubt that the society of which Mr. Taflton Pleasants was a member, and which, in bis publication in the Richmond Whig, be calls the ‘Humane Society of Rich-1 mood/ (and by this title Judge Gatcb, who gave me the certificate to 1822, alao designated it.) was the same of which 1 waa a member. Mr. Pleasants was a member in 1797, I to 1791. Mr. Robert Pleasant* was the president at the former period, as he was when I was admitted.” , f It appears that the constitution of this identical society was sonic rime since, among the papers of the late Thomas Shipley, and has been furnlahed to the public, through an Abolition paper. It is as follows, via;

On the 9th ult. she struck the rocks on the coast of Newfoundland, and in lb re a hours went to pieces. /The crew with the exception of the 2d officer, and about thirty of the passengers were saved, the others sunk in attempting to reach the shore, many of them weighed down by the weight of their money, which they had fastened iround their bodies.

The effect which the nnvarnistied tale of the venerable hero produced on the vast assemblage of the democracy who surrounded him, the eager expression of each countenance denoting their anxiety not to lose one word which dropped from the lips of the most honest, upright, brave and patrioct statesman and soldier in the land, may be imagined, but cannot be described. An unbounded burn of applause as he took bis testified the warm feelings of affection and reaped which was felt by thousands of the Democracy who surrounded him. .

. It will be seen, that the “abolition of tlavery" was the lending object of that society, and those very words constituted apart of t/i name. No fanatic of the present day could, desire stronger language than the preamble contains. It comes up to the principle lately asserted by tne most ultra Abolitionists in our own country, and by the “World’s Convention” in London, who bad resolved that Christians ought not to hold church fellowship with slave holders or their advocates, Grn. Habhibom was right when he called this association an “Abolition Society;”in 1822. He was right when he called it an “Abolition Society” in his letter to the Hon. Geo. Evans, in January 1840, But when it became important to satisfy the people of the South, in June 1840, that be was not an Abolitionist, be not only FORGOT THE TRUTH, but REMEMBERED WHAT WAS NOT TRUE. He forgot (hat this wo*, or was called, an “Abolition Society,” or that he bad ever called it such, and be remembered that ila title was a “Humane'’ Society, which it was not!

By the arrival of the schooner Yew Tree, from Galveston, we have an extra of the Daily Courier of the 29th inst from which we glean the following intelligence. The news wit re* ceivetf at Galveston direct from Austin; and is contained in a communication from Maj. Gen. Felix Huston, of the Tezsa Militia, to the Hon. Branch T. Archer, Secretary of War. The communication is dated "On Plum Creek, 5 miles West of Good's, August, 12 1840.” “I arrived on yesterday evening, and found Capt. Caldwell encantpend on Plum Creek with aboal 100 men. This morning I was requested to take the command. Which I did, and organized them into companies. About six o'clock, AJ 31. the spies reported that the Indiana were approaching. I crossed above the trail about three miles, and passed down on the west side, on arriving near the trail I was joined by Co). Burleson with about 100 men. 1 immediately formed into two lines, the right commanded by Col. Burleston; and the led commanded by Maj. Caldwell, with a reserve commanded by Major Hardimao, with Captain Ward’s company. On advancing near the Indians they formed foraction with a front of woods on their right,(which they occupied) their lines extending near a quarter of a mile into the prairie. I dismounted my men, and a handsome fire wia opened—The Indian Chief curveting around in splendid style, on front and Hank, finely mounted, and dressed in all, the splendor of Camanche warfare; at this . time several Indians fell , from their horses, and wc had three or four men wounded.

On Wednesday morning, 19th ult., five hundred ofGen. Jackson’s friends rode out from Nashville to the Hermitage, to tender him their heartfelt homage of gratitude. The general apprised the day before of their intended visit, received his guests with a suitable entertainment. It was gratifying Ip all to find him in'unusual good health and spirits. He visited Nashville next day, and returned to the hermitage on Friday.

Speech of Col. Johnson at Chillicotbe*

When the veteran hero once more presented hi in self to the people, an intense interest was visible on the countenances of those who were present, and the quiet stillness which prevailed, enabled them all to heir and understand what he aaid to them. He commenced by elating that he .had been a public servant for the people for thirty-three years —two years under Jefferson's administration, eight under Madison, eight under .Monore, four under J. Q. Adams, eight under Jackson, and three years he has been associated m the administration of Mania Van Bureo. He then said that he had been acquainted with MARTIN VAN BUREN for twentyeight years; that for the last twenty years he has been on terms of the greatest intimacy—and it gave him pleasure testate that in the whole of fats political connections he never knew one more upright in principle or pure morals, and very few possessing talent of higher order than Martin Van Boren. No stronger advocate of the war policy was to be found in 1609, and no abler defender of 1813, than Martin Van Boren. He spoke of what he knew and felt to be true, and of which he entertained not the least doubt.

For affecting these purposes, the following Constitution la adopted: Article I. The officers of the Society shall consist of a President, Vice PrcsidenLSecretafy, Treasurer, nine acting committee men, and two corresponding members, in the limits of each district court, all of whom, except the acting committee, shall be annually chosen by ballot.

Finding tliaMbe Indians were disposed to keep at a distance, and that a large body were assembled in the woods, I .ordered Co). Burleston, with the tight wing, to move around 4he point of woods,' and Capt. Cadtdweli,. with the left wing, to charge-into the woods, which movements were executed in gallant style. The Indians did not stand the charge, and fled at all points; from that time there was a warm and spirited pursuit for fifteen miles; the Indians scattered, mostly abandoning their horses and taking the thickets. Nothing could exceed the animation of the men, and the cool and steady manner in which they would dismount and deliver their fire. Upwards of 40 Indians were kilted—two prisoners (a squaw .and a child! taken; we bsvo taken upwards of 200 horses ana mules, many of them heavily packed with plunder of Linville and the lower country.—Wo have lost one killed and seven wounded—one mortally. 1 cannot apeak too highly of the Colorado, Guaudalpe and Lavacca militia, assembled so hastily together, and without organization, I was assisted by Maj. Izod. Cot. Bell, Csplain Howard and Captain Neill, as volunteer aids, all of whom rendered essential service. I believe we have given the Cumaocbes a lesson which they will long remember; near 400 of their bravest warriors have been defeated by half their number, and I hope and trust this will be the las»of their depredations on our frontier. On to-morrow 1 contemplate embodying ta many men as I can, and if we have a sufficient number of good horses, pursue the Indians, in the hopes that we may overtake them before they reach the mountains."—Picayue,

Having been urged by the Whig* to speak of tho battle of tho Thames, he reluctantly felt compelled iirduty to state some of the leading facts which came within his knowledge. Ho commenced by stating, that he did not wish to claim any glory for himself on that occasion—nor did he wish in any way to detract from the* tame of any companions in arms, far less from hts commander. At the battle of the Thames, he said bis (Col. J's) regiment did pursue the enemy, marching considerably in front ef the infantry. He was in tho van at the head of three companies of mounted men, which were brought up in solid column. He came up in line of battle. Tho force of Tccumseh was about 1,200 or 1,400 strong—the Brilish'700, It was first intended he observed, by General Harrison, that the infantry under hla command should be brought up, and the eoemy fought by our troopa in line. But Col J, having practised his regiment on horseback —having frequently dismounted onehalf of them and lougbt sham battles for that purpose, and beltving that he could successfully overthrow the enemy by a change of his mounted men, requested permission to make such charge; which having obtained, he left General Harrison and proceeded to the front where bia regiment awaited him. He never saw General Harrison aflerwards, unlit after the battle was over, when the General came to where he (Col. J.) was lying at the place to which bia soldiers bad carried him back after he was wounded. When ho left General Harrison be said he thought the swamp, which separated the Indians from the British army, could not be crossed. He aflerwards ascertained it could; and then determined that his brother, Lieutenant Colonel James Jonluon, should attack tho British at the same time that he attacked the Indians. His motto to charge rapidly on the enemy in colomns In a few minutes after his brother made the attack on the British, they surrendered. The British force consisted of700 men, and bia brother Jame’s division consisted of five hundred men. He related an anecdote of on Irishman of the captured army who asked his brother James if be waa the Commander, tod what they should do with their arras. Why replied Jamea I bad not thought about that. The Irishman then proposed to stack them, which was immediately ordered by his brother; Jamea then look the 700 British and delivered them up to Gen. Harrison—who, as James afterwards informed him, was about a mile from the lecne of notion. James Johnson then received permission of Gen. Harrison to reinforce hie brother, R. Bl. who was yet engaged with the Indians, From ths commencement of the action until be waa carried off the ground, he (Richard M.) did not see Gen, Harrison; be did not know where he waa—whether he waa a half mile, one mile,, or a mile fit a half in the rear, eicept/rom report.

' CAUTION.

THE publlo are cautioned against buying or trading for a note of hand, that John Dumont holds against Stephen G. Peabody, for the sum of three hundred dollars, drawn payable Twelve Months after date, as he did not obtain it lawfully. I caution Peabody against paying said note.

Morehead’s majority appears to be 6325; 11 counties to be beard from, which gave, for the Whig Governor in 1830, a majority of 457, which added to the above, and supposing no change, will swell Morehead's majority to 7282. The following remarks from the Globe will show that the democrats have no cause to despair of tho Stats in November; but let it speak for Itself:
