Say, we have for these 46 years treat ed with you, in our treaty making capacity, as granted us by the United States Constitution, not as a nation, but as subjects of Georgia. Sir, you have not allowed Georgia in your con stitutional am addressing the U. S.) to declare war against the Cherokee Nation. How then do you support the doctrine she has a right to subject us to her laws? By pomr. Is that your answer while your obligations by oith arc recorded on your statutes & known in heaven? 1 am still here, I have not yet heard.the sound of drums, and trumpets, and cannon, to demolish and lay waste my house or the lives of my kindred; when I discover the exercise of those powers, then it will be the lime to hide my dear charge, from the effects of that force, they had been *aught to respect as their protection. I am, Sir, respectfully, WILLIAM HICKS, Sen. TERRIBLE EXPLOSION. Seldom indeed has it become our duty to record so distressing a calam ity as that which has befallen the U- hited States Steam Ship Robert Ful ton, and used as a Receiving Vessel, tinder the command of Captain J. T. Newton. About a quarter past two o’clock on Thursday aftirnoon, her magazine took fire, containing 4000lbs. of powder,* and she blew up with a tremendous explosion, having been made a complete wreck, with the loss of 22 persons killed, and 19 wounded, three of whom have since died, and among tAe number, we la ment to state, is that promising and meritorious young officer, Lieut. S. M. BnF.CKENBltlDGE. The particulars of this afflicting disaster, as we have them frum sev eral officers bejonging to the ship, some of whom were on board when the accident occurred and as corrob orated (iii part) by the testimony giv en before the Coroner’s Inquest, are as follows:—A short time before the explosion, Mr. Williams, the Gunner, who had been appointed to that office only a day or two previous, asked permission of Lieut. Platt to go into the Magazine. Lieut. P. ordered a sentry to stand at the Magazine-scut tle, and directed that no light be car ried into the powder-room. This was separated from the “light-room” by a double partition, and it was in the latter only that a light was permitted to be carried. It is stated by a mid shipman that immediately before the Explosion, he perceived a smoke ris ing from the gang-way leading to the magazine, and bad just time to spook of it to a shipmate, when the acci dent occurred. From this it is in ferred that there must have been loose powder on the lloor of the light- room, and that in some way, unknown to any person now living, the fire was communicated. At the moment of the explosion, the higher officers were at dinner, and Mrs. Breckenbridge, the lady of Lieut. B. was with them. Lieut. Mull, who was of the number, and who has strangely escaped almost un hurt, states that he was thrown u- bout ten feet. A midshipman who Was sitting on the gun-deck, tells us that a mizen mast was taken from Its step and tossed quite into the air, af ter which it fell upon whatever re mained upon the poop-cabin and stern- works. Not a mast remains standing; not a foot of rigging; many of the guns are overboard; and the main part of the stern is entirely demolished.— The interior, (for it is completely laid open,) presents a picture of con fusion which it is impossible to de scribe. In short, the whole struct ure is a complete wreck, and will friever he worth repairing. Were it at sea, instead of resting, ns it does, lipon the ground, we doubt if it would "keen afloat for five minutes.—Journal Commerce. From the N. Y. Evening Post. Webster's Dictionary.—At a meet ing of teachers and other literary gen tlemen on the 18th inst. a committee was appointed to examine Webster’s Dictionary, and report their opinions on the merits of the work. At a sub sequent meeting their report was rpad and accepted. In this report the committee say, that the prefactory and introductory remarks of the author command their most unqualified ap probation—that the etymological char acter of this work gives it a claim of preference, as in this particular all former lexicographers aro very de fective, and a knowledge of radical ,language is essential (op thorough ac- •fc.: qnnintance with the derivative #ords —that the accuracy of definitions in this work also gives it a superiority over others, as we here lind not only the original meaning of words, hut the group of ideas which cluster around it, a^d are delighted in tracing the affinities and likeness between the pa rent and the offspring—that a knowl edge of etymology is essential to the correct orthography of a derivative language, and that, for want of this knowledge, the orthography of words is sometimes mistaken, and the words made to express ideas different from the true ones, and in some eases is even absurd or ridiculous.—That in accentuation the author has followed the general principle, euphony, and for the discrepancies from Walker, reasons are assigned which iu general are satisfactory to the committee— that to reduce this fugitive attribute ot our language to uniformity is a very difficult task, hut that a general rule ot classification, laid down by Dr. Webster, as far as the information of the committee extends, is judicious &. analogous. The committee consider the ex cellence and value of this work to be much enhanced by the addition of more than 12 thousand words to the largest list in any other work of the kind, and among these are the technical terms of modern sceience. The committee remark that the difficulties of which foreigners com plain in acquiring a knowledge of the English language, arising from the varied sound of the vowels and some of the consonants, call loudly for a remedy; and they think one is found in the use of the points introduced by Dr. Webster, which are easily under stood and applied, and that if, by these means, all or even a part of these dif ficulties shall be removed, incalcula ble benelits will he the result. Prov idence has permitted us to live in a most eventful period of the world. They observe that the moral and re ligious enterprise of the present day— the improvements in arts and sciencics —the discovery of new inodes of ap plying moral and physical force, pre sent an aspect of no common interest, and appear to designate the present as the most suitable time for the adop tion of some such w ork as the one under consideration, as a standard of the English language—a language copious and scientific, and destined to he a medium ot the greatest blessings to the world. thousand, a small part of which has been satisfied by a levy upon real 'estate, the title of which is disputed. The bank owes seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars; and their means for discharing it, consisting of 'real estate, Sic. amount only to* fifty thousand dollars. The debts due the baidc from Messrs, Hinsdale Dexter and Ilolly, are about twelve hundred thousand dollars. Connecticut.—It appears from the message of Gov. Tomlinson, that the receipts of the state of Connecticut, during the last fiscal year, have a- moiinted to $62, 714 25. Expendi tures $b7,OGO 75; besides $2,202 98 advanced to the w ardeh of the state- prison, and $9,201 paid to the com mittee for building a state-house at New-Haven. The dividends declar ed upon the school fund during the year ending 31st March, for the sup port of schools, amounted to $72,104 15; being 85 cents for every person in the slate, between the ages of four and sixteen years, as ascertained by the last annual enumeration. The state-prison (at Wetherfieldl lias rea lised a nett gain, during the year end ing 31st March, above all expenses, of $3,229 41. Another Steamboat lost.—The Steam boat Montgomery, belonging as we understand to t Mr. Benj. F. West of New Orleans, ran upon a snag in the Cumberland river a few miles above the mouth, on Wednesday 10th inst. and sunk intsantly. Her cargo des-* tined for this place, and the boat her self, are said to be both totally lost. The boat was insured to the full a- mount of her estimated value. Nashville Banner. SUMMARY. Philadelphia Vaccine Institution.— We observe by th« public prints, that Doct. Win. C. Brewster and D. C. Skerret, Vaccine Physicians of the city, have established an Institu tion for the distribution of Vaccine matter. City practitioners are sup plied gratuitously, agreeably to ait ordinance of the Select and Common Councils; to all others the charge is three dollars. By arrangement, per sons making npplicati n for virus,' from any part of the United States, will receive the same by return of mail, a perfectly safe conveyance in this case. Such an establishment possesses obvious advantages, for those residing in sections of country infested with Small Pox, and other places w'herb Vaccination is desired as a preventive, as it should he every where. The project lias been ap proved of by Dr. Physjck, and the most eminent of the medical faculty, and the known character of the gen tlemen connected with it, will secure for it public confidence. As the ex istence of this Institution may not be known where its benefits are needed, editors of the country papers would confer a favor on the commu nity by diffusing the intelligence. Test of perfect Vaccination.—All persons should insist on the family sur geon’s using the test discovered by Dr. Bryce, of Edinburgh. It consists in vaccinating on the other arm, from the first one vaccinated. If the first has been perfect, both pustules will ripen precisely at the same time; if this does not take place, the consti f lU . tion has not been properly afl> c f Q( | and vaccination must he repeated — This simple and easy security ought never to be neglected. Eagle Ba'ik in Connecticut.—It ap pears Ir'om the report of the Eaglo Bank, recently submitted to the Con necticut Legislature, that the claims of the bank against Normand Dexter exceed in amount three hundred thou sand dollars, for which the hank arc without security.

A hill has been passed in the legis lature of Connecticut for repealing the eighth section of the SabUatli law of tli^t state, prohibiting labor and re creation on days of public fasting and thanksgiving, on penally of line. Contradictions are no arguments, nor ought such expressions as the fol lowing ever he made use of, viz:— “That 1 deny—there you are mista ken— that is impossible.” Such blunt assertions may promote irritation, but they cannot tend to elucidate. A correspondent of the Troy Budg et, states, that Mr. Erastus Toby, of Dutchess county, has taken one hun dred and fifty rattle snakes alive, near Westhrookville, in Sullivan county, within a short period past. Mr. Toby intends to take his snakes and set out for Liverpool, England, and Irelcmd, about the 10th of June.

A Dilemma.—A inun the other day, speaking of the backwardness of the spring, said—“We shall never have warm weather as long as the snow continues on the mountains—and 1’in certain the snow will never get.off the mountains until it is warm weather.” —Journal of the Times. The Bunker llill Aurora states, that Messis. Crassons and Boyd, of one of the Havre packet lines, in New York, have requested permission to convey the hogshead of earth, taken from the battleground, to Gen. Lay- fayettee. It is expected that the Massachusetts Mechanic Institution will make the eask of oak grown in Lexington and Concord. There is a story passing tho rounds of the newspapers, copied from the Bunker Hill Aurora, staling that Gen. Lafayette lias requested ilie Select men of Charlestown to send him a hogshead of earth from Bunker Hill to cover his body after his decease. We have good reasons for believing that the General has made no such request, and that if the earth is to he sent, it will he the act of some indivi dual without any authority from La fayette himself.—N.
