NEW PiBLICATSONS. JXTo-W Books. IT1ABEL VAUGHATV: AND NASHVILLE WHIG. B4IIT 58 TRI-WEEKLY, 85-. -WEEKLY cember, 1812, in the organization of Gen.

Andrew Jackson's army at Nashville; served a tour to Natchez and bock. This Flag was again hoisted between our citizens of Hnntsville, and the invading hostile Indians of the South, in' September, 1813,. (assisted by Capt John; Morgan, of Fay-etteville.) The Same company waded they. Coosa river to assist Gen. Coffee at Tallasha tehee; and on the 19th of November, 1813, this Flag waved tri-timphanton the battle-field of and when the flag of the enemy was captured and taken down, this, oiir American Eagle, was proudly perched at the same spot, looking on the slain, who where the remorseless savages that murdered the innocent and defenceless at Fort Minis.

This same Flag was in close pursuit and near the heels of the" British' cavalry and in hearing of the last cannon's roar at the battle of New Orleans on the 8th of January, 1815, the closing, successful, victorious battle of that GEN. SHIELD'S STATEMENT. "On or about the 17th of July, 1847, 1 received -an invitation to call in the evening at Gen. Scott's headquarters in Puebla. Invitations of this kind were at that time frequent, and were intended to bring-the principal officers of the army together for the' "sake of social intercourse.

Such at the time regarded this invitation. In the course of the evening Pillow, Quitman, Twiggs and Cadwallader joined us. Alter some dissultory conversation, Gen. Scott said that he intended to consult us on a matter of some moment not as a council of war, but as friends and brother officers. tbereupon read a letter from Trist to himself," in whicb as near as I can recollect, it was suggested that the Mexicau authorities were destitute of 'means," and: writer, Mr.

Tiist, had good reason to believe that, a judicious application of money would enable us to obtain a peace, and requesting Gen. Scott to use his efforts to raise a million or a million and a.half of. dollars for that purpose. Gen. Scott having- read this letter declared himself iu favor of the project as the only means of procuring a speedy and satisfactory peace.

He stated that he had means of raising the money, and that tfie circumstances, the course was justifiable in points of principle and expediency. CHe also stated. that he.liad already applied a-small sum, say ten or twenty thousand dollars; and that.he regarded it as bread thrown on the waters." Tucker, being about tn full into the hands of another rebellious set, she calleS to her husband to shoot her, at once. He did so, his child also, and then himself. A Major Bobe'rtson has also shot his wife and children and himself, under similar circumstances.

This is a new and melancholy feature in the tragedies. AH this having occurred within the last few days makes us the more anxious' about being left here unprotected. The officers of the 42d naturally uphold their own regiment, bnt as now there are scarcely ten remainiug of the. Bengal is very probable that the 52d will go It is most inscrutable. A regiment! ap: pears stanch up to the hour it mutinies, everything" going on as usual up to the very hour of the The Garrison of Futttghur Another Massacre btNena 6.

I fear there is little doubt that the garrison of Futtyghu'r have beeii murdered by that fiend Nena Sahib. I heard the deposition" of a servant that has arrived sfat1' ing" that' after ii-struggle of nine days the small band was overcome, that the Newab of Ferruckabad furnished them with-boats, and that they were all killed by Nena in cold blood, after passing Bithoor. Of 'the 10th Navy Infantry, this includes, I believe, Brigadier and Mrs. Smith, Munro, Philott, Philliv more, Fitzgerald and wife, Simpson, Henderson, Eckford, Dr. Heathcoteand family; then! there were the Ifev.

Mr. Fisher and wife, Mr. and, Mrs. and Mrs. Robertson, Tucker, the clothier, was shot through the head when looking through a loophole.

It appears that the fugitives moored their boat near Cawnpore, the boatmen ran away, the gentlemen gave the villagers money to induce them to get more men, of which they told who sent conveyances for them, con-j fined them in the Assembly Rooms, and when Brig-' adier-General Havelock beat his troops and took his guns, he had the whole party He is reported tobave said that he could now die happy," as he had killed "Feringhees," and I fancy hi; has completed about that number, including th'l Christians at Cawi-pore and the Futtyghur refugee i (in all about 160, including those who fled early hi June.) CRUELTIES AT DELHI. aAt Delhi, my dear grandfather, the diabolical cruelty of the Sepoys is horrible to relate They paraded all the European heads up and dowi the city in a cart; and at Allahabad the 6th Nativ -Infantry, who had received praise in the morniu; for their loyalty to Government, fell on their officei. i in the evening while they were at and kilh 17 of them. The adjutant of the regiment the; nailed to an arm-rack, and made a target of his body auother officer was pinioned to the ground wiu-, bayonets, and a fire lit on his body. At anothi -i station there was one officer and his wife he killen seven of the miscreantB with his own hand, am when he saw there was no chance for himself or hi wife he shot" her and then himself, before he woul, let her fall into the hands of the S.

poys, because was well aware what her fate would be rape ai then murder. At a station called Fyzabad two naj tive regiment? of foot and one of horse, with a ba; i teryof guns, mutinied and killed some of the officer one colonel's lady saw her husband shot io front 1 her eyes, she then went raving mad through th jungle with her two infants. I bad this fromasur vivor, one that escaped in a boat with about 2') more Europeans, principally women and children! he saw the lady with her children on the bank ar, called her to him, but she lookod at them for a ni't ment and then ran screaming away, dragging i children after her. They. could not land to pui sue becaEse the Sepoys were coming down cij them at the time to murder them.

I have sine heard that the lady has been rescued, but is still 1 maniac. At another station they have murdered i Europeans the place is called Jhansi; one officii tilled no less than 26 of the iuffians before he wr.l killed himself. A sergeant and his. wife and children barricaded themselves in their house) the woman said she would shoot the first man tha i entered, and she was as good as her word. Shed it so, and was then shot herself.

Thehusbandescapef and the two children in attempting to follow hi it were caught and thrown into the flames, ti they had set fire to the house. I told you in my liuj i letter that the rebels made off to Delhi. They hai fortified it in every direction, and oneMauder Khn; has styled himself the Commander-in-Chief of all th" Mussulmans in India. E. C.

But the question is, what is to be the extent of the epidemic Will it go on in violence, until this whole country is prostrate hopelessly prostrate or will it soon spend its force and cease? It must be confessed that the direst evils have already resulted, and are still to result from it. Numerous banks and business houses have toppled and fallen, and the crash has been felt throughout the entire community. At the best, it will jequire a long time for the country to fully recover from the disease that has fastened itself upon its very vitals. Individuals have no doubt been hopelessly and irretrievably prostrated, and the whole trade and all the business transactions of the, country have been crippled and entangled to; a melancholy extent.

But are there no consolatory features in the present aspect of affairs no grounds of hope for a partial, if not an entire relief I In trying to answer this question, there is one consideration, that tends to inspire hope. It seems indeed very strange that in the midst of apparent health and strength, with a constitution strong and active, the whole country should be suddenly stricken down with an irrecoverable disease that in the midst of an apparent prosperity unparalleled in our history, we should suddenly come a to dead stop and be unable to move another sterj for ward we should suddenly wake up from our dream of wealth and happiness, and find ourselves poor and bankrupt Is it, can it be true, that our boasted property and advancement as a nation is all a dieam-r-a delu sion of the brain Can it be possible that the whole country is poor instead of rich, and that all the banks are empty and rotten. We think that this cannot be possible, and that fear and the want of confidence have done as much as any really existing cause to produce the panic. It is perfectly reasonable that a particular bank or business hoine that has been proceedingin an irregular or extravagant manner should fail, and be unable to meet its liabilities, but that all the banks in the country should be insolvent, is apreposter-ous idea. If, indeed, a few hundred millions of gold had been abstracted from the banks and thrown into the sea, this would constitute a cause for their absolute failur.e,but no such cause.

now exists. These considerations are certainly, calculated to insrire some hnns A r- and confidence in the public mind, that after the financial hurricane has blown its ravages will not be found to be so terrible as we now have so much apparent reason to apprehend. But in addition to this ground of hope, there are one or two others which we will "mention. The state of affairs in 1837 was wholly different from the present. The banks had then been dealing largely in race horse bills selling bills to land speculators or stock drovers upon places where they never intended to have any stock or lands or goods to meet the bills.

is 'not the case at present, at least, it is. hot so generally the case as it was then. Our banks have consequently made fewer bad debts, and are less likely to come out insolvent and broken. another, and the greatest ground of -IiUJL)B IS 1UUUU 1U LUt3 UtUU lUHi LUC CUUlHry IS at present so rich in the products of the soil. We have had a succession-of years of plenty.

Our granaries are all overflowing with the rich products of the earth. It cannot be denied that ve as a people, are rich and and the idea of the country becoming bankrupt with her hands full, is hardly to be entertained for one moment. We believe that the aggregate wealth cf the people of this nation is greater than their aggregate indebtedness, and consequently, that while individual sufferers by the panic will be too painfully numerous, and while the evil effects upon trade and commerce will be seriously tele for a long time to come, yet we believe that the nltimate results.will not be so dark, so gloomy and so disastrous as many now suppose. Let our banks be honest and judicious, not taking advantage of the necessities of the people to enrich themselves, and notrefusihg in the end 1 an1. much of the curse which they have it in their to inflict upon the country will be mitigated and relieved.

That curse will fall heavily enough at best, and it is the duty of all of banks as well as of individuals to make it as light as possible. We have written this not in the belief or hope that the panic is going to' be briefor light. It is already too violent and too de-: structive, and is destined to become stiU more fearfully so; but we yet contend that. there is no reason for absolute despair, and that there is a ray of light breaking through the dark clouds, which, if we all act properly, will yet dispel that cloud, or at least diminish the force of the storm that is bursting upon us. STATE HISTORICAL SOCIETY THE WAR OF 1812 Tho press of other, matter prevented us from laying the following interesting episode before our readers yesterday, but we are hot willing that our readers at a distance should lose- the benefit of it.

On the exact spot where he received it forty-five years ago, the veteran Gen. Wm. Moobe, of Lincoln, ptesented to the Tennessee Historical Society, a war-worn banner, originally presented by the ladies to him as Captain of the First Company of the Second Regiment of Tennessee lnfantry, on the 10th of Gen. Mooke, in making, this invaluable addition to the archives of the Society, addressed its representative, Prof. J.

B. End-siey, of the University of Nashville, as follows: This company was the firft that marched to Nashville after the declaration of war with Britain and the iThis Flag was hoisted ahd.rthet pooipany mastered into service on the 10th of De war. And the wreck ot time, ana tne scars or war, it is the richest ottering that I can bring in the declivity of my life to be" deposited in the archives of the State by Historical Society. And could I have the pleasure of passing it through the hands of those patriotic matrons, the donors of 1812, would proudly hand: it over to them, and say, 'Tour hopes have not been disappointed, your gift has never been dishonored. Under this, the innocent and defenceless blood of our common, country has been avenged, and the honor of our glorious Union maintained.

And now, our National Bird, with her IS stars, and without the loss of a single feather, returns for rest, when the sword ofvjustice is returned to its shedth, where Justice and Mercy says let it remain; and whilst the remains of our much venerated victorious chieftain rest at the Hermitage, as sleep elsewhere most of his gallant officers and soldiers, let this Bird have a resting place in the Capitol of our On the part of the -Historical Society, Pi of. J. B. Lindsley, replied as follows In receiving from your tands as a gift for the Tennessee Historical Society, this invaluable relic of a past age, permit me in their behalf to congratulate you on this auspicious occasion. To few men has it been allotted by a favoring Providence to behold what you-this day behold.

years ago under vastly different circumstances, you received as the gift of your fair country women, who ever encourage the brave; this flag, since bourne so gallantly and so successfully, through many a hard conflict-over many a glorious field. Then this our noble Tennessee contained but a quarter million of inhabitants. Then this goodly city was but "an ins gnificant village. Along our borders lurked the wily and blood-thirsty Bavage, loth to give up this splendid but unimproved heritage. Whilst a pow erful and well organized foreign foe was preparing to invade our sea-board throughout its defenceless extent.

Alarm, anxiety and almost dismay everywhere and naturally prevailed. Along with hundreds and thousands of your noble compeers, you volunteered and hastened to the scene of conflict and right speedily did you give assurance of victory and peace and safety. To-day you behold the spendid results of those patriotic self-sacrifices. Our State has quadrupled its old population, and sent thousands of brave pioneers to subdue the Southwestern wilderness, and all the time it has been steadily growing in the elements of a high civilization, participating fully in the advancement of an active period in man's history. Slay you long be spared to witness its onward progress.

The Historical Society in accepting this gift pledges itself to preserve it carefully, and to place it where its presence will serve to recall to 'thousands the vivid recollection of a most glorious period in the history of Tennessee, and to provoke them to emulate the gallant deeds of. the early inhabitants ot this State. Tennessee has much to be proud of the favorite of God in natural gifts, distinguished in its confederacy by its confederacy by its hib position in statesmanship, yet its chief and cowning glory has ever been the valor of its sons, and through all coming time may this be its glorious destination. After the presentation the soldiers of 1812, who were present were invited to the stand. Terrible Condition of Affairs in India.

INFAMOUS CRUELTIES. TheNiagara's Mails bring volumnious details of the inhuman barbarities of the Sepoys, the perusal of which strikes terror to- the reader. We might fill our paper for a week with the frightful details. We give below some extracts which will give an idea of the' dreadful state of things existing INFAMOUS CRUELTIES OP NENA SAHIB. From a Staff Officer, recently at Dinapore.

Benares, July the women were killed by the Nena Sahib in patches, so many a day. He violated all he could first, and sent the rest naked into his camp for the men; at Jbansi they tied the husbands to trees" while the. same atrocities were in process, and tore the children limb from limb. They have made mothers kill their own children, and that sort of thing. Poor old (a civilian) was daintily stabbed oh six bayonets, and carried around kicking, and then killed.

It is as well to tell these things, which don't half come up to the untel-lable atrocities; of the way in which ladies were tortured and exposed, because the more you all know in England the better, as, for want of cavalry these wretches get very little cut up now, and they must, be punished afterwards in cold blood. "We shall have' it all our own way now it Bombay keeps quiet, as the Eth Fusiliers and 37th are on the river, and will make Havelock strong enough for anything. He drives them like sheep as it is, but the punishment of these fiends is the-thing that will ake time: the Government is too mild, the authorities in Calcutta still potter and humbug. Aiigust 2. You'll see by the papers that the Din-.

apore brigade have mutinied; they are on the road at Sasseram. The whole thing was disgracefully mismanaged, and'- ought to be huug. Havelock carries all before him, and has taken sixty-four guns already. Having only 1500 with him, there will be a narrow thing of it to reinforce him in time. Humanly speaking, if he gets reinforced by the 5th and 3'jth soon, all will go well enough till you comfortable people at home send some 000; but if things go wrong in these parts, and delay his reinforcements, Agra will go We disarmed the remnant of the 1 2th Irregulars here last and the wing of the 25th Native Infautry, just arrived, is to be Angdst 3.

We have just heard very bad news. Havelock is obliged to suspend his advance. He says he has only 700 effective menleft." At-it is im-" possible that he can be reinforced from this side for, a fortnight it is a regular fix. Both his force and Lucknow, look very It is the worst news we have had yet. The detachment from Dinapore came on the rebels- They our fellows had no advance guard or flankers.

They suddenly came on a wall; up jumped the Sepoys and blazed into them. Out of 300 two-thirds were hors de coinbat. By this sudden volley 80 were and three officers, and the remaining 100 barely got away with their wounded to a steamer. Somehow, nobody knows how, the brutes had got 8 guns; in Arrah, probably, hid there beforehand. They have murdered all the Europeans in Arrah, and the worst of it is that the detachment from Buxar will fall into the trap too, for there is no way of warning them.

Havelock will get no reinforcements, and will be driven back. It is my private opinion that this place and Allahabad stand a chance of being the only two places in our occupation between Calcutta and the Punjaub, unless that Delhi force does something quick. I have no fear of the ultimate result, of course, for I believe God does not mean us to lose the country, rmtisfi arfi raMr'ahiilcsr jnat Tmw, HORRIBLE REVELATIONS LETTER FROM GEN. The Ayr Observer publishes the following extract of a letter from Gen. Neill, dated Cawnpore, Aug.

1. Nena Saliib, heard of the success of our troops, aud of their having forced the bridge, about twenty miles from Cawnpore. he ordered the wholesale butchery of the poor women and children. I find the officers' servants behaved shamefully, and were in a plot, all but the caste ones. Thev deserted their masters and plundered them.

When-, evera 'rebel is caught' he is immediately tried, and unless he can prove a defence, bo is sentenced to be hanged at once; but the chief rebels or ringleaders I make first clean up a portion of the pool of blood, still two inches deep, in the shed where the fearful, murder and mutilation of women and children took place. To touch blood is most to the high-caste natives; they think by doing so they doom their souls to perdition. Let them think so. My object is to inflict a fearful punishment for a revolting, cowardly, barbarous deed, and tostiike tenor into these rebels. The first I caught was a subahdar, or native officer, a high-caste Brahmin, who tried to order to clean up the very blood he bad helped to shed; but I made the provost-marshal do his duty, and a few lashes soon made the miscreant accomplish his task.

When done, was taken ont and immediately hanged. No one who has witnessed the scene of murder, mutilation aud massacre, can ever listen to the word mercy, as applied to these fiends. The well of mutir lated bodies alas! containing upwards of 200 women and children, I have had decently covered in, and built up as pne large grave.

He complains that he has "felt keenly and deeply the neglect and injustice" of previous administrations in this respect. Other States have had a superabundance of spoils, while the ever, faithful State of Illinois has been put oh short allowance.

THE MEXICAN WAR CORRESPONDENCE. Gen. Pillow furnishes the anxious public throu'i the Union and American, with another chapter the Mexican war correspondence, which we copj below: GEN. PILLOW'S REPLY TO GEN. SCOTT' CARD.

Nashville, Oct. 16, 1857. To the Editors of the Union American: The card of Gen. Scott, recently published in tl. National Intelligencer, was evidently intended 1 produce the impression, that the statement in i address to the people of Tennessee, to the effe, that he had caused to be paid to Santa Anna $10,011 under the Puebla negotiations, was untrue.

It will be remembered that I did not say that Gei Scott had paid this miney to Santa Anna. My stat, -ment was, that Mr. Trist said, at the conference at h' quarters, that Geri. Scott had advanced him tb and that he had paid it over. I know the money was not paid into the hands Santa Anna for he was in the city of Mexico an we were in the city of Puebla about 80 mil apart.

The money was, no doubt, placed in tli -t of a certain British official the. medium the correspondence between Mr. Trist and Saul i Anna. Gen. Scott says in his card: "I certify on boot that I never, at any time, paid to Santa Anna, caused to be paid to him, or to another for his u.

i or in any manner whatever." "This blunder ot Gen. Pillow grows, no doub out of some hint he confidentially picked up abo 'I head quarters" that I had paid that precise sum and for important information received-. and to be continned from the enemies camp an armies." Gen. Scott here admits that he paid that precnf 3um to for but he denies that he paid tit i money to Santa Anna, or to any person for him. Though this denial is evasive, and is a mere quit hie, yet, inasmuch as it may be uuderstoon as a di -nial of the truth of my statements, I have procun from the record of the War Department at Wa(r ington, copies of the sworn statements of Geu.S Quitman and Shields, extracts from which are hen -with submitted to the public, from which it will r.

seen "how far my statement was" authorized by tk i I did not suppose Gen. Scott would have ed upon the denial, of facts, known.tobeso iulf proven by officers of the highest respectability tbe'army, aud gentlemen of the most unqueatiouabl character. these proofs I submit the points in contr? versy to an intelligent publie, not deeming a of. coaiment necessary. All.the other statements in that address remaii ing uncontradicted, the conclusion is inevitable thi tiiey not admitting of denial.

The records from Washington being too volun nous Tor publication with this card, 1 only publi ij such portions as relate to the point in issue betwei myself and Gen. Scott, but any gentleman desirii to exainiue the whole record can do so by appliti 1 tion to me. -Respectfully, GID. J. PILLOW.

GEN. QUITMAN'S STATEMENT. About the middle of July las(1847,) I was sun B.UUC11TA) UHCIU mooting officers at GeN- Scot quarters in Puebla, Mexico. I there met the Gent i-al-in-cbief, Generals Pillow, Twiggs, Shields an Cadw'u'laaVr, and I think Col. Hitchcock, Aciin Insptctor General.

Woith was not presei and Gen. Smith's absence was accounted for by Gel Scott, who said that he, Smith, had been consults, upon on the driiceur. The General-ii. -Chief first dwelt upon the gruC-impot tance of peace-to our countr and the anxio; i desire of our Government to bring it about. 11; said that influenced chu-fiy by these important considerations, and his belief that a movement upi! the capital would cut off all prospects of an aiuicut- r.

adjustment of onr difficulties, he had halted thus lui; at Puebla. Gen. Pierce, with a conside'rabl j-body of troops under his co mmand, was shorM; expected to arrive that our numbers were too i. for the euterprize before us, and that he -expect reinforcements would be important to us. therefore requested the opinionsof the officers present upon the propriety of awaiting the arrival irf Ger.

Pierce. He also stated that he desired to consult them up im another.subject of great delicacy and much impr j-tance that the prospects of peace were now sligl but that he was informed by some foreign residei v-in Mexico that the desirable object could certain! be obtained by the secret application of a considi. able sum of money. That the Mexican leaders i pected the negotiations to be attended with douceur. That they were not in the habit of movi.j without it that the useof money for such purposj ji.

was justified by the practice of other nations, a jjl that considering the great good it would in this if f-stance bring to our country he regarded the mecjlf as moral and proper, and did not perceive how a sensible man could think otherwise. He- added that Mr. Trist had no power or instructions ji use the three millions voted by Congress, or 'v part of it, to such a purpose that the same must I accounted for on the face of the Treaty that, hot j-ever, if it should be considered advisable, he (G. i. Scoft) had credit in Mexico, and upon the assent! request of Mr.

Trist, he would raise a million or a million and a half of dollars, to apply to the purpof, a sum suCBcient to insure the success ol the negot. tions that he had already thus applied ten or tweii thousand dollars; a sum which he regarded as 'bre (1 thrown upon the waters."
