WaekER. They had taken boats at Tuscumbia, Alabama, in descending the Tennessee and Mississippi rivers to the Mouth bf White river, where embarked on board the 4teanl‘-boat Virginia, for tho purpose of being con veyed to their place of destinatibnup the Arkansas. The Viginia (as we stated in a former No.) was-only ahle tb ascond to within about 60 miles of this place, in consequence of the low <etage of the river; and a part of the Indians came up by water, and the remainder by land, from tiie point where they were landed. Those Indians composed part of a party of 1400 or 1500, who sat out from the Creek Nation in Georgia, in -June last. The remainder of the par ty crossed the Mississippi at Mem phis, some weeks si'.’.ce, and have no doubt, ere tb»3, reached the pfacc designated as the future resilience of their nation, beyond the western limits of this Territory. They were tinder the direction of Mr. Lutiier BhAiiE, who accompanied them until after they passed this place. He then left them, and came here, for the purpose of taking, charge of the party who arrived here last week. JCapt. Walker, who conducted them thus far on their.journey, left here on Saturday morning last, on bis returft to Alabama. ». Mr. Blake employed a number of wagons at thU place, for the purpose of t ransporting the baggage and provi sions of the Indians; and, on Saturday evening last, put liis party m motion oji their journey to the west. While they remained, in camp in 0.ur neighborhood, a considerable num ber of the party, of both sexes, Were constantly in town; and it gives us much satisfaction to bear testimony tp the orderly and correct deportment \vith wihich they demeaned themselves toward.Qur citizens, 60 far as we saw or have, heard. They are a fine look ing race .pf people;;-quite neat and cleanly in their dress (for Indians), and their appearance indicated good [health, which, wo are gratified to learn, r prevails among the whole par- tv, with perhaps fewer exceptions than could have been expected among so large a party, under similar circum stances.— Ark. Gas, • i WEDNESDAY.. SEPTEMBER 30,1820. ■ j.-—=•-— \Ve hayc beard that a letter lately ro- rcived at Creek Path, from the Cherokee Nation west of the Mississippi, gives an account of a skirmish between a party of the Cherokces and the Pawnees. *It is said that five or six of the Cherokces were killed, and 4 number wounded. The Pa- necs did not lose as many lives. It was supposed by our informant that the Chero kces wer? the aggressors, who no dpubt were oH a horsc.tfealing expedition when they fell in with these American Arabs.— If let alone, we understand they are quite peaceable. Such affairs ho doubt Would b« emhe common if the tribes east of the ♦Mississippi were removed, if they could be induced to remain at peace with each other, yet with the other wandering tribes they would be at perpetual variance.— Having a boundless out let west, the temp tations to mischicfwhich tW'inSiscreet and half civilized parties of the Cherokecs and others'would have to contend withy would be of ho ordinary kind. Let the advocates of Indian emigration reflect upon this.— Perhaps it will be said, the strong, arm of the Government will keep suclr persons within the bounds of good behavior. We apprehond not, the Indians are jealout of tbeir liberties, and they would view an arm- 1 ed force stationed near them to watch their movements, as an infringement on those liberties. Where they are they are at peace with each other, 8c with the whites, &. their locatiohs render it' iihprobable that they should be otherwise but friendly.

It appears'by the following article, copied from a New Orleans paper, that the yellow fever, the plague of that climate, is making appalling rava ges in that city. Nor does the paper prekent the worst side of the riielan- choly picture, if private letters from thence do not deceive us. In one of the morning papers we find a letter stating that the deaths range from sixty to seventy per day. At this rate, unless the inhabitants fly from the pestilence with one accord, New Orleans will soon become literally a city of the dead! Yelloio Fever.—From all the infor mation that we are able to procure, we learn that this usual and dangerous visitant of the city, prevails to an a- larniing extent. If the statements be true, for a few days past, from thirty to fifty have died each day, and those who it is reported constituted the greatest number of the subjects, were those Spaniards that adopted this city as a temporary asylum from the ex travagance of Mexican democracy.— To find multitudes of fellow beings falling before us into the grave, a few moments after they have shown the liveliest and healthiest aspect, and when we arc or hope to be secure, is astonisuing and lamentable. The youthful, the aged, the powerful, and the weak, yielding themselves a prey to its rapidly devastating force. Al though disposed to weep with the mourners, who may be spread oVer the world, and who will anxiously look towards New Orleans for tho cbuimu- nicafion of the news of life or death, we will, in opposition to the usual course prescribed, advise those \vho are unacclimated to remain in the city. That the disease prevails, there is no doubt; and that the method of treatment, the advantages of attend ance, and tire, necessaries of the patient are more abundantly procur ed here than elsewhere ore truths self evident. There is at least equal liability to the infection by the disease in leaving the city at this time, and double danger from the in experience of medical attendants!— Those who are untouched by (he searching operation of the yellow fe ver, have now to stain! and test their strength'with its desolating powers. Although eaph year announces (he multitudes of deaths here by the Yel- lepy Fover; and although each town ip tho Union may mourn for the loss of parent, child or relative, swept off by (lie rapid march of disease, yet thO news of the most extensive de struction wilj whet the ardor of com mercial speculation, and even in tiie remote parts of Europe, the healthy inhabitants will be calculating upon the prdfits of this city, and assum ing, ns A .basis, the disease of popula tion by The yellpw fever. So soon as the healthful season hiu». coihq, 8nc will hear the stranger newly nrrivbd, when examining tbp dimensions and capabilities of this .city, . ejaculate Ills astodislupent at the populousness of the inhabitants, arid the difference between tlic notion lie bad formed df the “city of the dead,” and the life aud number of star inhabitants. Thus it is, however, the ellect which the news of the destructive prevalence of the yellow fever has abroad, is the increasing determination on those who hear, to become hazardous vis itors. As manager* of a public print, it is a duty to announce the supposed facts of these' disease; to state our o- pinions, and to leave our crude notions to the examination and reflections of those who may read, or dread, or weep, at the fatal march of the ene my to sons of man—the yellow fe- ▼«f*' VV: "" U >Iy SUMMARY. The tVcst Chester Republican, of Tuesday last, says, we had the plea sure a few days ago of examining the production of a single grain of wheat, cultivated on the farm of Mr. Robert son Walker, of West Bradford town ship, Chester county. There were one hundred aud eleven stems, each bearing a head; containing in all 40- 83 grains, weighing five ouuces thirty •two grains. Mr. ^kinneb, the able editor of the American 'Firmer, has been compli mented by tiie agricultural feotiety of South Carolina, with an elegant piece cf Plate, as a mark of their res-, pect, and sense of the service he has rendered to the Agricultural and Planting interest; by bis valuable jour nal. Two Philadelphians meeting at an inn in Lancaster, one Iook np a news paper and complained of hireyes. “Try my spectacles”—said his friend. “Excellent! admirable! 141 not be a week longer without a pair!” “You artv, certainly right; but take care that they have glasses. Mine have none.” The number of counsel attending the Court of King’s Bench, at London, for the purpose of practising there, is about three hundred and forty; but the principal business is in the hands of about fifty. > Wheat is selling in Clcaveland, 0- hio, at 50 cents per bushel, and ui the back towns at 37 1 •% cents.

T HE undersigned propose to publish a work unuet the above title, which wuibe principally devetedto the interpre tation ot the Bible. They do not piean by this, that the pie'ccs which the work shad contain, w ill all be merely cxcgctical.— Whatever may contribute nilcctiy to lur- nish the Biblical student with the means of exegesis, it will be a leading ucsign ol the proposed work lb exhibit. It is well known to every one who has any considerable acquaintance with Sa cred Literature, that there is extant a grpat nnrnber of essay s, entreat, philologi cal, hermeneutical, geographical, chroiio logical, historical, etc. m respect to the Scriptures, w inch lie dispersed ui numer ous volumes and tracts, published at dd'- lci ent perrons, and by many different au thors. CoUtxtious of these essays, more or lea* extensive, have not unfrequoutly becu made anu published bn tne contiqeut of Europe. Hui most of these comprise a great deal which is now superfluous, inas much as it has been superseded by the la- boursuf recoin enues, wiiohavc be At more ihoroughiy versed iu bacred Literature, ihc repuhheatron, therclore, ol any«ol- lection of essays such as are noyv spoken of, which was made some time since, pro bably would not meet with sulitcieut cu- courageuient, at the present time, to re munerate the expense. Nor wduld it ei- tcct all the goon w hich u> desirable. There are, howevef, in most ofthe fcri- tical collections to which a reference lias now been made; some pieces that well merit a rcpubkcaticn, and which would be very useful to every student ot the Bi ble! li these could he selected, and em bodied in a convenient work of a moderate price, they would Itartiisbai) important ap paratus tor sacred ttudy, tk s*vq the trou- . ; r • ble and expense of procurrflg a great nutn* ber of volumes, not a lew of which are noT orily costly, but exceedingly difficult tgi be obtained. < .. . t One object of the B&lidhl Inquirer, is, the publicafion of such a selection. Buff, this is not the only one. It is designed that every number shall contain one or more original pieces; and these will, usual ly be on topics eonnected with the inter pretation of the Scriptures, cr else consist of direct explanations of the Scripture* themselves. Experiment has often eiiown, that the mere repubheation of pieces, how-, ever striking or useful they may in them selves be, will not create sufficient interest, id the public mind, to sustain such an un dertaking. Original . matter, therefore, will be a prominent object, in respect tc everv-nurober of the proposed work. The ficld.^of Biblical investigation is boundless; aluf thcrO never can be a want, of interesting matter for publication.—4 Whether the editors of the present work will he able to supply, in any way, that! which will interest and satisfy the Biblical students of our country, remains to he, proved by experiment. They can only- promise to spare no efforts in. .their power; in order to accomplish tl.js cibject. •Where selections are republished, if lh? originals arc German, French, Greek,He brew, Syriac, or Arabic, they will lie uni-V fornvi^ translated. Such pieces also.as art, written in Latin, which is full of modern idiom, and is dilticult to be read,-Unless bji the more experienced philologist, will bo translated, , But where the Latin is easy;, tiie original itself will occasionally be pub-, lislicd; unless it should appear from c.xpc* periment that tiie Biblical students of ouij country would prefer another method cf publication. But where the editors select any piec^ whatever, it is not their intention merely to republish it, whether translated or not.—- Most pieces published abroad, need some adaptation toxliirown country and the pres.' cut times. Some pieces, very valuable ip most rejects, contain sentiments, now 4n«f (lien, which need correction, or e'Splana. lion-j or itddRional Support. It is intendb'h that they shall be always adapted to Ameri can readers, by additions of such a natttrfr as sfiril be needed; which, lioyee-wev, be carefully distinguished frou/dhe originJ ala.'- ’ ‘ « • - •••.!* It may Re proper to a id, Ihdt 2Hlicugtj the work is designed principally for tns use.of such as devote Home portion of their studies to the critical investigation Mth® Scriptures, it. is nat intended should be exclusively devoted to this pur# pose. Occasional csfcays of a Doctrinal, nature, and also,on subjects pertaining tft Ecclesiastical History arid Sacred jtheto- ric, will be inserted, in order to give va riety and interest to the whole. The work is not designed to be of an' ephemeral character. The editors aim at comprising in it, what will be useful at aiiy future period as well as the present. . Of course, they do not wish the public, to un derstand, that the "Biblical Inquirer is to take the form of a Review.

Every essay will- have the name t>f the writer or translator affixed to it-. • In this tv ay, tile p'iblic will l:ix)\v cn whom to fix. the responsibility of any erroneous senti ments or adventurous opinions.

It willbe impossible therefore, with any rational prospect of ev en a very mod .rate remuneration! to make the work as cheap a? a mere English dork of the same extent might be afforded. The sale of of the work, even if it should suc ceed well, cannot be expected, at the most, to be more than very limited, It is not proposed ns a matter of gain, but as a help to the student of the Bible, which may be of some utility in promoting the important ob’iecis widen he has in view.
