the spot where the mail was attacked on Monday the Uith insr. that if they would come in the'y would be protected. By them I sent a note to a white man, who is with the friendly party, informing himthnt ifhe would bring in all the mails, with the assistance of the Iriendly Indian, I would give him two hundred dol1 us. The two Indians have n it yet returned. As ihe mails left, arc valuable, I would offer :i much larg:r sum to h ive them brought in, but it is unnecessary; as thing are now situa
ted, they can only be brought in by the aid of
friendly Indians, who will be satisfied with a little. No body of whites can be obtained at any price to go" to the spot, and endeavor to rescue the mails so great is thepa"ie now per-
vading the couitry. Yesterday, farm houses, five miles from Columbus were burned down.
and tins morning some negroes were attacked not more than a half a mile from gmrd, a town situated directly opposite this, on the western bank of the Chattahoochee river. A horse was wounded. :ind one of the negroes h.t throu;ih the arm. 1 shall continue my
exertions lo rescue the mails, or so much of
them as may not have been destroyed or carried away. It seems now, that there were fifteen persons along with the mail whenit was attacked. Eleven of them have reached Columbus in safety, after having wandered about in the fwamps until last night and this morning. The remaining four are known to have been
killed, as they were seen to fall by some of
tba.-e who have escaped. One of the killed was a mr. Hallett of New York, represented to be a merchant of wealth and respectability. Roanoke, a small village on the Georgia side of the Chattahoochee river, forty miles below this, has been burned by the Indians, and 15 white persons killed.

Y fancis Grang- r having been called, rose, and snid he declined voting, because the se
cond resolution did not conform ;o the instruc
tions of the house, and he claimed his right
to state his reasons. IVJr. Granger had no
sooner opened his mouth? than he was assailed by the loudest and most Tehemcnt shouts to order, the speaker joining in them rapping with his lranrer v.' all his might. But Granger went on, and made himself heard too. The house concurred in the resolution by a Urge majority. The question was then about to be put on the third proposition, which, you will remember, was recommended by the committee, without infractions from the house. The purport of it is that all papers of whatever description, relating to slavery, or abolition, shall without being printed or referred, be f aid on the table, and that no further action whatever shall be had thereon. Mr. Phillips, rose to order. He demanded whether a committee which had been specially instructed to report two resolutions, could report a third, the effect of which is to change the forms and rules of business, and to deprive citizens of the right ol petition? The chair decided that it was in the competency of the house alone, and not of (he speaker to determine this point. Mr. Phillips then moved to lay the preamble and resolution on the table. This was negatived: The ayes and noes were then taken on the adoption of the resolution, mr. Adams being railed upon, rose, and in defence of all the clamour and confusion that were got up to drown his voice, cried out in tones which were heard distinctly "I consider the resolution a direct violation of the constitution of the U. S. the rules of this house, and the rights of my constituents." The resolution was concurred in by a large majority. Mr. Whittlesey then rose and asked whether a majority of the house could, by merely adopting a resolution, changethe standing rules of the house, for such he maintained was the effect of the last proposition. The chair replied that he would decide the question whenever it should be properly brought up. The business of excuse making then commenced. General Glascock began to give his reasons for not voting, but was soon called to order. Then ensued a scene of confusion and commotion such as no eye hath seen, no imagination can conceive, and no tongue can adequately tell! It is utterly impossible to trace the course of proceedings. More thanan hour was spent in entertaining questions of order, discussions upon them, and disputes as to what and who had precedence. The gallant gen. from Georgia endeavored in vain to be heard. Wise was more successful. He spoke with
out the slightest interruption Irom any quar
ter; and with extraordinary energy, lie maintained tint the time for giving excuses had
gone by. There was no question before the
house from voting upon which a man could ask to be excused. The question had been
taken and settled. He denied the power of
the house to compel him to vote at this stage;
and dehed the majority to exert such a power, they might bring in their standing army
but he would not acknowledge the power. The spirit of disorder still maintained a su
premacy the proceedings became so tumultuous, and at half past twelve a motion was
made to adnurn; but was negatived. 1 he or
ders of the day were called for; and the speak
er, who was completely nonplussed, eagerly
caught at the means of escape pushed the questi t to a division, and it was decided in the
affirmative.
Mr. Wise then attempted to suspend the
special order and have his resolution relative In lhf net banks and the rnrencv of K. M.
----- - j- rj m Whttnev. taken up: but he failed. This mat
ter will ero alone with the general wreck of
