Madison, Oct. 1. Oulmgcovs. An attempt was made on Saturday night last, to burn" the new Presbyterian church, which is now nearly isiuslied. A quantity cf lighted matches were thrown in at one of the windows, r.n.ong a quantity of chips and shavings. I'oi -Innately, the lire

The inhabitants have been called upon to take up arms, in order to exterminate the Carlists, and second the popular movement. The inhabitants of Saragos sa, governed by the junta, are awaiting peace fully on answer to the demands addressed by them to the Government.

places below the fort, and nearly all tilled up with families, who were seeking for passages to Maranham, Portugal, &c. We further learn by the packet Choctaw, Captain Sattle, who sailed 7 days after the Mercator, that on the 21th August, the Indians having complete possession of the town, having put to death all the remaing white inhabitants, Com. Ta)lor with 4 Frigates dropped down to the Bay and had declared the town under a rigid blockade. Com. T. had engaged the Indians 10 Jays, but w ithout success, and had about 3000 persons on board who had fled to the fleet for safety, the women and children he had lauded on the Island of Merajo under a guard.

From the Army Navy Chronicle. MILITIA SYSTEM. Every one, who has witnessed the opera

tion of our militia system, must be sensible of i tj

its glaring defects, of its total inadequacy to subserve the purpose of which it was originally designed and of the necessity for such a change as will place it upon a basis of respectability and efficiency. To abandon the system entirely would be to make us dependent for defence against foreign or domestic foes upon a standing army, which has always been looked upon as of dangerous tendency in republics, is contrary to the spirt of our institutions and the wishes of the people, besides being justly regarded with jealousy. We should therefore never lose sight of our mainstay for defence, but cherish it with care

From the Detroit Journal of Sept. 10th. The Ohio War.

From the recent war-like movements of gov.

Lucas, we were prepared to hear that the

Ohio Warrior, at the head of his brave troops,

had marched into loledo with Hying colours,

and triumphantly possf ssed himself ot that de

voted city. The loud note ol preparation

had been sounded from one brigade to anoth

er throughout Ohio, leading us to expect an

overwhelming army of buck-eyes to protect the court intended to have been organized by gov. Lucas at Toledo. Wc were prepared to hear that not less than "fifteen thousand mounted volunteers'' were on the spot ready to engage in sanguinary conflict. We understand that Lucas was at Toledo on Sunday 1 it in company with the Judge; that in the

dead hour of the night an effort was made to

organize a court, but as the daylight dawned, and the fearful sound of the Wolverines wa heard at a distance, it was deemed expedient

forthwith to adjourn the court. hereupon

judges and jurors started on a rnce with the

gallant governor towards the black swamp, where it was understood a charge was to be delivered to the grand jury, and the docket to lie called. The attempt of gov. Lucas to exercise jurisdiction over the disputed Territory, has proved a total failure. The men of Michigan were on the ground, prompt to defend their rights, and prepared "to do or die." We rejoice that no blood has been shed, and that

IMPORTANT FROM PARA The Brig Mercatou, from Para, arrived yesterday, Capt. Tow ne, reports that the City of Para had been entered on the 14th August, and taken possession of, by the Indians after a protracted conflict of 8 days. Capt. Town has had the goodness to hand

us the following report:

I lie 1 resident having taken no precaution

ary measures against this attack, which was

daily expected to take place, and of which he had been repeatedly advised both by deserters and by letters from the chief of the rebels

(Antonio inagre,) who had threatened to

fall upon the City, unless he, the President, should immediately release his brother (Pedro

inagre,) who was then prisoner on board

the frigate Imferatriz. The foreigners, and native residents had confided so much in the

strength and wisdom of the Provincial Government, and In the efficiency of the marine

department, that they posponed embarking until absolutely surrounded by their enemies, not allowing themselves time to save their

valuable effects, or even a change of their

clothing. Our countrymen, Mr. Upton, had barely

;jtimc to flee on board, leaving his books in his

counting room, which were aftewards known

to be thrown into the streets and destroyed

to render it as perfect as possible, so that it may cease to be, what it now is in fact, a byword and a reproach. The militia musters which usually take place, and are attended only by those who are unable to pay their fines, are worse than

useless; they improve not the knowledge of

men in drill or the otticers in tactics; but on the contrary, tend to demoralize the habits and are an actual reot nf time, especially to those who rely upon manual labor iw ui,sisi ence. It is incumbent upon" statesmen, 39 t matter of policy upon philanthropists, as a mea

sure to lessen if not to prevent human misery and upon patriots, who desire to set their country in the best posture for defence to devise some system which shall equalize the

burthens, and be acceptable to the people. Voluntary associations offer the most feasible plan for effecting the object, but these cannot be general, in consequence of the expense attendant upon them. If the expense could be lessened by furnishingall the necessary accoutrements at the public charge, the ranks would soon be filled up. Appointments by the President. Jeisc L.

For Louis Phiippe to abridge the freedom of the press, in order to secure himself from the secret dagger, is about as wise as it would be

to forbid his subjects to eat frogs or soup maigre, for the one has evidently as much connection with any attempt on his life ns the other. Much the better way would be to allow his subjects to say what they plearfr. They area talkative people, and if you forbid them to speak, write, or publish, you take away one of the greatest pleasures they have in life, and they are exasperated accordingly. The wisest course would evidently be, to allow them to express their opinion! freely on all subjects. Perhaps their opposition to the ruling powers might thus expend themselves without doing mischief; and if the king and his advisers wer not destitute of good sense, reason, and political tact, they might at once

perceive that it was much safer thus to let off

the steam, than, by strenuously confining it, to risk the almost certain explosion of the ves
