Milledgeville (Geo.) Nov. 4
  A detailed account of the Florida expedition has been received at the Executive Office from Col. Newnan. As yet we have not been able to procure it for publication.
  From lieut. Fannin, of the Baldwin volunteers, who arrived in town a few days ago, we learn the following particulars: - That an action was fought on the 27th of September, near the Aulotcheeway towns, which, including the skirmishing of the flanks, lasted two hours and a half. We had one man killed and nine wounded. The loss of the enemy was supposed to have been considerable. Paine, their king, is believed to have been among the killed. A short interval ensued, when the Indians, having received a considerable reinforcement, renewed the attack, but were soon driven back. After fighting and fasting the whole day, or men were forced to work all night, for the purpose of throwing up a breast work to shield them from danger. In this situation the detachment remained seven or eight days, when they were reduced to the necessity of killing and eating one of their horses, for want of provisions. - Being unable longer to maintain their ground, a retreat was ordered. They had not advanced far before they were attacked by a small ambushing party, which was put to flight upon being charged. Thus ended the expedition.
  The loss of the Indians in all the engagements is estimated at about fifty. Ours is 8 killed and 14 wounded. Their names we subjoin.
  Killed - Thomas A. Eppes, Henry Franklin, (both of Milledgeville, ) and Arthur C. Greene, of capt. Fort's company; Henry Carter, of Lieut. Cone's company; __Harris, col. Newman's boy, a Spaniard, and a soldier whose name is not remembered.
  Wounded - Capt. Humphries, Walter J. Newton, John Pope, William Rhodes and James W. Runnels, of capt. Humphries' company; Ensign Reuben Mann, Robert Neil, Lancelot Davis, T. Lawson, Charles Lockhart, Edward Pilcher, T. Russan and Eli Sculock, of capt. Coleman's company; Elijah Betsel, of capt. Cone's company.
  Col. Newman, it is said, acted throughout with the greatest coolness and bravery, and is slightly wounded in the arm.

Fatal Accident
Milledgeville, Georgia, March 31
  On Sunday last three young men of this place were struck by lightning; two of them were killed on the spot and the third greatly injured.- The following statement of the circumstances attending this unfortunate catastrophe was furnished by a friend, whose situate afforded him every opportunity to give a correct relation of facts.
  On Sunday afternoon, three young men, two of them apprentices to a Mr. Holt, Messrs. Roach and Gray, and Mr. Buckannon, bar-keeper to Mr. Buffington, were  caught in a thunder storm at the fish trap below the mouth of Fishing Creek, and took shelter at the root of a large tree-while waiting in apparent security for the cloud to pass by, the tree was struck by lightning, and the electric fluid descending upon the unfortunate young me, killed Messrs. Gray and Buckannon, and did great violence to Mr. Roach; Gray's hat was torn to pieces, his eyebrows and hair greatly singed, and his coat much torn, -He and Buckannon were thrown off fully extended, several feet from the tree, with marks of considerable violence on their heads and bodies. Hit seems that the electric fluid only descended to the hips of the two who were killed and from thence was carried to Roach, for he was only affected in his lower extremities; His left thigh was a good deal injured, but not so much as his right thigh, leg and foot-His pantaloons were torn to pieces, in the fore part, and the marks of violence correspond to the rent of them, his right shoe was much torn and his foot wounded, probably from the violent effort of the fluid to escape and the re-action of the shoe upon the foot when torn.
  When assistance arrived there was no symptom of life in Messrs. Gray or Buckannon. Mr. Roach had  violent pains for many hours in his thighs and legs. In the pocket of Mr. Buckannon were three pieces of money, each of which was slightly fused. A number of buttons were knocked off from their clothes.

Indian Expedition
Milledgeville, August 23
     For the last 4 or 5 days, we have had a constant succession of military movements.
    On Friday last, 2 companies marched from this county for the Indians frontier. The quota of United States militia from Baldwin, under Capt. Cox; the Baldwin Artillery, under Capt. Thomas; and the Volunteer Infantry, under Capt. Howard, all in good health and spirit anxious to avenge savage wrongs upon their guilty authors. On Saturday, the Baldwin Troop of Horse under Capt. Steele, took up the line of march. On Sunday Capt. Hamilton's Troop from Hancock, passed through this place. We venture to say a finer Troop has not marched from the state on any expedition. On Monday, Capt. Varner's troop of Horse from Putnam, and Capt. Barton's Volunteer Infantry from Augusta, passed this place. On Tuesday, Capt. Irvin's Cavalry from Washington - making in all between 6 and 700 men.
     Gen. Stewart has, we understand, declined accepting the command of the expedition against the Indians; and an express has been sent to Gen. Floyd of Camden, the next senior brigadier, tendering him the command. It is expected & hoped that Gen. Floyd will accept, as he is every way calculated to do honor to the command.
    We are informed from respectable authority, that a detachment of the hostile Indians some days since, having determined to come in and kill Mr. Boothe of Jones county, set out in pursuance of their design; when they were overtaken by a party of the friendly Indians, who killed 4 and repulsed them.
    The express sent to the Governor of Tennessee, returned on Monday last, and brought letters to the Governor, dated the 13th inst. Gov. Blount does not consider the letter of the Secretary at War as a requisition on him to furnish men to go against the Creeks; but as evincive of a determination on the part of the government to punish the hostile Indians-and thinks 5000 instead of 1500 would be necessary to effect that object, and that number could as easily be obtained as 1500, but is disposed to wait for future orders. Governor Blount thinks if a junction is formed between the Georgia and Tennessee Troops, that the Falls of Coosa will be the proper place, and that a junction or grand rendezvous should be formed at or near the Hickory Ground.

 On Thursday last, Thaddeus Holt was shot through the body, (supposed with a rifle bull) which entered below the breast bone and came out just under the right shoulder blade. He received the wound in Oconee Swamp on the way to his lower plantation by John Jones, (Whiskey.) It is worthy of remark, that early in Col. Holt's life, he fought a man, both armed with knives, in which affair both were badly cut to pieces. In Kentucky, in a duel, he wounded through the leg; and directly after in many Indian skirmishes. Afterwards he was shot through the neck; and in the year '95 had his mouth shot to pieces in a duel-all of which he survived, and lives to agonize his present wound, from which it is probable he will recover, being the 4th day since it was received.

Interesting to Purchasers. Agreeable to the directions of the last will and testament of Col. Thadeus Holt, deceased, nine tracts of Land belonging to the estate of said dec'd will be offered for sale at the Market House in Milledgeville, on Wednesday the 16th of November next; to viz:
    2,000 acres of pine land, lying on town creek, eight miles from Milledgeville, on the public road leading from that place by Sandersville and Louisville to Savannah. On this large and abundantly timbered tract there is now in operation, at one of the most eligible mill seats in the state, a saw and grist mill, which with some repairs and proper attention would be equal in annual value to an mills on the waters of the Oconee. The stream affords at all seasons of the year an ample supply of water and the mills are within a short distance of the Oconee river, whence rafting to the sea coast is easy and cheap.
   Also, one tract of 200 acres second quality upland, lying in the county of Hancock.
  Also seven other tracts, consisting of squares of 202 1-2 acres each and fractions of a smaller size. These lands are considered by good judges to be of the first quality of Oconee bottoms, producing naturally a great quantity of the most valuable Oak timber and an abundance of the largest cane. Of these lands several tracts, are more or less cleared, the three upper fractions comprising about 200 acres, form the settlement called Fort Wilkinson, the late residence of Col. Holt. The mansion house is about two miles from Milledgeville is a handsome double story building and with the convenient out houses annexed to it is one of the most desirable situated one in the neighborhood.
  Also 12 Lots in the township of Montpelier, a high and beautiful mount, two miles east of Milledgeville.
  Terms of Sale - Payment to be made in equal annual installments, the purchaser giving notes with approved security and a mortgage on the premises bought. Possession will be immediately given and titles made good. Persons willing to examine the quality and situation of any of these lands may apply to the executors at Fort Wilkinson on the upper tractions.

Milledgeville, Georgia, July 12. The Season. For some weeks the atomsphere has been uncommonly humid - it has rained, more or less, almost every day. The water courses are much swollen; it is believed the Oconee river has notbeen so high for several years. Most of the planters below, we regret to learn, have suffered considerably from the freshet - some have lost their entire crops. For the high lands, the season in every part of the state of an abundant crop of corn and cotton, was perhaps never more flattering.

  Departed this life on Thursday last, the ult. at 11 o'clock in the evening, Simon Holt., sen. of this county, aged 79 years. He was a native of Virginia, from whence he migrated to this state in the year 1798. He was one of the patriots of the revolution. His devotion to the principles which produced our independence as a nation, was warm, decided, useful and animated-he was for many years a member of the Baptist Church; he had no sectarian asperities - He thought as a Christian-he spoke as a Christian-he acted as a Christian-his piety was exemplery-his conduct just-it was upright. - He viewed with placid serenity his approaching exit, from time into eternity; :knowing that when this earthly house of his tabernacle was dissolved, he had a building of God, an house not made with hands eternal in the Heavens." On Friday the 30th ult. at 4 o'clock P.M. his remains were deposited in the Family Cemetery at Bellmore Farm, the seat of his sons Hines Holt, Esq. He has left an aged wife to mourn (to her) his erreparable loss, and a numerous offspring to mix with her's, the sympathetic tear, and we hope to emulate his virtues.

DIED, at Bonavista, on the 13th inst. after four days severe illness, Master Farish Carter, the only child of Col. Farish Carter, in the seventh year of his age. Even at this early age this child had frequent and forcible impressions of a future state. His inquiries on important subjects evidenced a degree of reflection that could have been expected but from mature minds. This preciosity of intellect, combined with the native suavity of his disposition, riveted his parents' affections upon him. But nether is too strong for the relentless arm of death. It has severed the child from his parents, and left them in a state of almost inconsolable grief.

For some time past, the thermometer has stood within a degree or two of summer heat, at mid-day. We have a damp heavy atmosphere. The bats are abroad of evenings, and the musquetoes, yet, occasionally, like Virgil's bees, invite to sleep by their gentle buzzing. We had a slight shock of an Earthquake the other day' and Encke's comet, the coming of which has been predicted by the star gazers, is said to be visible now through an ordinary telescope.

The Scottsboro' Female
ACADEMY
Will open again on the FIRST MONDAY in January, 1830. Young Ladies can be accommodated with Board in respectable families on moderate terms.
   The Principal would make no extraordinary pretensions in relation to conducting this Seminary. He desires that his past efforts may be taken as pledges of his capability and anxiety to be faithful.
    It would be well, however, to state, that the situation is well calculated to promote the health and facilitate the improvement of pupils. No greater testimony of the health of the place can be desired, than that a considerable number of young ladies have resided here for nearly two years without one attack of fever, or any indisposition in the smallest degree alarming. Further, the nature of the soil is so absorbent, that after the heaviest rain the earth is dry enough in a short time to admit of walking without wetting the shoes. The region being favored with a peculiarly dry atmosphere, children may walk to the Academy and pursue their studies before sun rise, without endangering health or comfort.
     The Borough is well supplied with water, which being slightly impregnated wit iron, aids much as a stomachic and general tonic, and ensures those most desirable handmaids of health, appetite and cheerfulness.
    While the society is respectable and intelligent, there are no stores to tempt youth to extravagance, nor parties of luxury and fashion given, to break in upon the even tenor of mind so necessary to mental improvement. In fine, here, in health and retirement, (without which no studies can be pursed to advantage,) the industrious pupil may find delights mingled with labor, and gather the rich rewards of application, in well regulated  habits and a cultivated understanding.
  Payment required in advance.

  On Saturday last,Ann Elizabeth, daughter of Dr. T. Fort, aged 19 months. The cause of this infant's death was as singular as the circumstances were distressing. Some time on Friday, it is now known at what hour, having by some means got hold of a box of percussion caps, she swallowed an unknown number of them, 25 of which were afterwards brought up by an emetic. That event furnished the first evidence of what was on her stomach, and it was then too late for remedy. Her subsequent agonies were the dreadful consequences of so deadly a poison as antimony and the other ingredients of the fulminating power contained in the caps.

IMPRISONMENT FOR LIFE
  At the term of Baldwin superior court, which has just closed, JACKSON MAHON, a youth about eighteen years of age, resident in Milledgeville was convicted of the murder of MARTIN SMITH, a citizen of this county. The testimony against the prisoner was only circumstantial, and if he is the perpetrator of the fatal act, his guilt was mitigated by the fact that his feelings were exasperated by a combat at the moment pending between his brother and the deceased, who was much the stonger man. Under the human provisions of the penal code of 1833, and influenced in part, we believer, by this mitigating circumstance, Judge John G. Polhill, who presided, commuted the punishment of death for perpetual imprisonment and hard labor in the Penitentiary. This is the first example of the operation of this part of our penal system.

He was for many years a citizen of Baldwin county, which county he twice represented in the Senate of the State, and subsequently was placed by the Legislature at the head of the Treasury Department, which office he filled with ability, and fidelity. Endowed by nature with a vigorous intellect, and uniting thereto industry and frugality, he amassed a large estate. - Mr. Williams was distinguished for generosity and hospitality, and a friendship once formed, was never dissolved, with just cause.
