DEATH Ol' CRN. HERKIMER. After recounting the disaster which overtook the militia of Tryon County, by falling into an Indian ambuscade, as they were inarching to the relief of Fort Schuyler, the author pro ceeds : “ Few battles have been fought at a greater disadvantage than was Ijiut of < )riskany on the part of the Americans. After recovering from the confusion of the first attack, they found them selves without ammunition save that in their cnrtouch boxes. Their baggage wagons were in the possession of the enemy. The weather was warm —and, surrounded by the enemy, they could get no water. In tin's state they defended themselves against a far superior force for five or six hours. The severe remarks which have he*-ii made upon the militia engaged in this bat tie are certainly not warranted. They had been imprudent, but they were brave, and in this kind of fight, skilful. The Americans lost ?« killed nearly 200,and atmnit as many w<nnuled and prisoners; they car ried off between 10 and 50 of their wounded. They encamped the first night upon the ground where old Fort Schuyler was built. Among the wounded was (den. Herkimer. Karly in the action his leg was fractured by a nuiskct-ball. The leg was amputated a few days after, hut in consequence of the unfavoura ble state of the weather, and want of skill in his surgeons, mortification ensued, and occasioned his death. On receiving his wound, his horse having been killed, he directed his saddle to be placed upon a little hillock of earth, and rested himself upon it. Being advised to choose aplacc where ho would he less exposed, ho replied, ‘I Mill face the enemy.’ Surrounded by a few men, ho continued to issue his orders with firm ness. In this situation, and in the heat of the battle, he very deliberately took his tinder-box, and lit his pipe, which ho smoked with great composure. Ho was certainly to blame for not using greater caution on his march—but the C o coolness and intrepidity which ho exhibited when he found himself ambuscaded aided ma terially iu restoring order and inspiring his men w ith courage. His loss was deeply lamented by his friends and by the inhabitants of Tryon Conn tv. The Continental Congress, in October fol lowing, directed that a monument should be e rectecl to his memory, of the value of five bun dred dollars. * * We regret to state, however, that no monument has ever been erected to his memory in pursuance of that or any other re- I solve. FIRST SETTLERS OF CHERRY VALLEY. An extract will show their firm religious char acter : “ It has been mentioned in a preceding chap ter, that the inhabitants ofCherry Valley signed the Association early in the summer of 1775. Their Committee met with the Committee of the County, and were connected with the transac tions ofthal summer. It was stated in the ac count which has been given of the early settle ment of Cherry Valley, that its inhabitants were very strict in their observances. The following letter was written by the Committee, and is in confirmation of that statement; — ‘ Cherry 1 'alley, June Olh , 1775. Sirs,—Wc received yours of yesterday rela tive to the meeting of tiie Committee on Sunday, o which surprised us not a little, inasmuch as it seems not to lx? on any alarming circumstance — which, if it was, we should readily attend : but as that docs not appear to us to be the case, we Hunk it is very improper; for, unless the neces sity of the Committee sitting superexcced the du ties to he performed in attending the public wor •hip of God, wc think it ought to be put off till another day; and therefore we conclude not to give our attendance at this time, unless you ad journ the sitting of the Committee till Momlay morning—and in that case, we will give our at tendance ascaily as you please, but otherwise, we do not allow ourselves to be cut short ot at tending on the public worship —except the case bo so necessitous as to exceed sacrifice. M e conclude with wishing success to the common cause, and subscribe ourselves the free-born sons of Liberty. John* Moore, Samuel Clyde, Samuel Campbell. Ifyoa proceed to sit on the Sabbath, please to rend this letter to the Committee, which we think "ill sufficiently assign our reasons for not at tending.’—This letter was sent to the County Committee.” anecdotes or col. harper, of iiarpersuield. “ The following account is given by the Rev. Mr. Fcnn, the former clergyman of Harpers field, who received the information from Col. Harper :—■ ‘ In the year 1779, M‘Donald, a torv of some, enterprize and activity, had collected about 300 Indians and lories, and was committing great depreciations on the frontiers. He f!1 down up on the Dutch settlements of Schoharrie, with | all his barbarity and exterminating rage. Col. .j Vrooman commanded in the fort at Schoharrie -J at this time. They saw the enemy wantonly , 'j destroying every thing on which thev could lav f their hands. The garrisons were so weak, that they could spare no men from the fort to pro-: tect the inhabitants or secure the crops. 4 \\ hat *• shall be done ?’ says Col. Harper. 4 0, nothing f at all,’ says Col. Vrooman ; wc be so weak, we j e cannot do any thing.’ -1 Col. Harper ordered In’s horse, and laid his; ■ course for Albany—rode right down through; f | the enemy, who were scattered over all tho j r j country —at Fox’s Creek, he put up at a tory . tavern for the night ; he retired to bed after hav , ing locked his door. Soon there was a loud rap ping at the door. 4 What is wanted?’— 4 We ? want to see Col. Harper.’ The Colonel arose and unlocked the door, sealed himself on the bed, and laid his sword and pistols before him : • in st**pt four men. • Step one inch over that mark,’ said the Colonel, 4 and you are dead men.’ Alter talking a little time with him, they left the room ; he again secured the door, and sat on Ins bed until day-light appeared : he then or i tiered Ins horse, mounted, and rode for Albany, ; and the enemy were round the house. An In dian followed the Colonel almost into Albany ; and when the Colonel would wheel his horse and present his pistol, the Indian would turn and run I with all his might. When the Colonel arrived at Albany, bo called on Col. ' Jartsevoort, stated ; the distressed situation of Schoharrie, and prays led for help; a squadron of horse was immedi ately provided, and they rode all night, and ap peared in Schoharrie in the morning ; and the first knowledge that the people had that any re | lief was expected, they heard a tremendou jshrieking and yelling, and looked out and saw j Col. Harper with bis troop of horse welting up the enemy. The men in the fort rushed out, j , and joined in the attack, and the country was jsoon clearedof the enemy, and the inhabitants i bad peace and rest, and could collect their hur- I vest in safety,’ ” 44 The following account of a successful en- | terprizc of Col. Harper, was also furnished hyi the Rev. Mr. Fenn, who received the informa-j tion from him : 4 lie informed me that in the year 1777, lie had the command of the fort in Schoharrie, and of all the frontier stations in this region. left the fort in Schoharrie, and came out through the woods to Harpcrsficld in the time of making sugar, and from thence laid his course for Cher ry alley to investigate the state of things there ; and as he was pursuing a blind kind of Indian trail, and was ascending what are now called I Decatur I li]ls, lie cast his eye forward and saw a company of men coining directly towards him, who had the appearance of Indians. He knew that if he attempted to flee from them they would shoot him down ; he resolved to advance right up to them, and make the best shift for himself he could. As soon as he came near enough to discern the white of their eyes, he knew the head man and several others; the ; head man’s name was Peter, an Indian with! whom Col. Harper had often traded at Oquago before the revolution began. The Colonel had! his greatcoat on, so that his regimentals were: concealed, and lie was not recognised ; the first | word of address on Col. Harper’s part was, ‘How! do you do, brothers ?’ tlic reply was, 4 Well—! how do you do, brother? which way afe you! bound, brother?’ 4 On a secret expedition — and which way are you bound, brothers ?’| 4 Do Mil the Susquehanna to cut off the John stone settlement.’ (Parson Johnstone, and a! number of Scotch families, had settled down the! Susquehanna, at what is now called Sidney! Plains, and these were the people whom they!' were about to destroy.) Says the Colonel,!' 4 where do you lodge to-night ?’ * At the mouth of Schenevas creek,’ was the reply. Then shaking hands with them, ho bid them good speed, and proceeded on his journey. He had gone but a little way from them be fore he took a circuit through the woods, a dis tance of eight or ten miles, on to the head ofj i Charlotte river, where were a number of men 1 making sugar ; ordered them to take their arms, two days’ provisions, a canteen of rum, and a rope, and meet him down the Charlotte, at a small clearing called Evan’s place, at acer-! tain hour that afternoon ; then rode with all speed through the wood to Harpersfield ; coi- ; 1 lected all the men who M’ere there making su . gar, and being armed and victualled M’ith each! ■ man his rope, laid his course for Charlotte ; • when he arrived at Evans’s place, ho found the • Charlotte men there in good spirits ; and when! ■ he mustered his men, there were fifteen, includ-j ; ing himself, exactly the same number as there! : Mere of the eneniv; then the Colonel made his i men acquainted with lus enterprise. They marched doM'n the river a little distance, j and then bent their course across the hill to the , mouth of Jrfchenevas creek ; when they arrived at the brow ofthe hill where they could over look the valley where the Schenevas Homs, they . cast their eyes down upon the llatt, and discover-j ed the fire around which the enemy lay encamp-j . ed—‘There they are,’said Col. Harper. They . descended with great stillness, forded the creek, which was breast high to a man ; after advancing a few hundred yards, they took some refresh ment, and then prepared for the contest —day- i light was just beginning to appear in the east. When they came to the enemy, they lay in a f circle, with their feet toward the lire, in a deep sleep ; their arms, and all their implements of death, were all stacked up according to the In dian custom when they lay themselves down > for the night : these tlic Colonel secured by oar . rying them oft’ a distance, and laying them i down; then eacii man taking his rope in his i hand, placed himselt by his fellow ; the colonel I tapped his man softly, and said — 4 Come, it is time lor men of business to been their way ; and then each one sprung upon his man, and as ) ter a most severe struggle they secured the - whole number of the enemy. After they were all safely bound, and the r morning had so far advanced that they could discover objects distinctly, says the Indian Pe ( ; ter ‘Ha ? Col. Harper ? now I know thee— , I why did I not know thee yesterday ?’ Some po - ■ licy in war. Peter.’ 4 Ah. me find ’em so now.’; j! Tlie Colonel marched the men to Albany, deliv fered them up to the commanding ofti-'er there ■ iitrnr.~Tra—■ ■grTMirmii ■ ms* . wr~i —n - n i, and by this bold an 1 well executed feat of va!- i our, he saved the whole Scotch settlement from a wanton destruction.” PROSPECTUS.

The Political doctrine of tlie HERAT.!) will he ac •• cording to the policy and interest of Georgia, as regards \\Stale Rights, and tiie propriety ofthe removal o (all the i; Indians ot the South.—Tiie South-Car* >lina doctrine ol ■ indiscriminate Nullification v. ill nut be supported by the I Herald—but the reserved rights of the Stales will be ! pled as the best method of preserving the confederated 1 Union. The Herald, in all other cases, shall be a perfectly free and neutral paper—lts columns shall he open al j M-ays for the discussion of ail political questions that : may be agitated by cither ofthe political parties in Geor gia—not the least preference shall be given to either ot them.—The subscribers to the Herald shall enjoy the: full and uncommon privilege of reading in the same pa-! • per both sides of all political questions and movements of importance, not only in Georgia, but in every State of I tiie Union.

The locution ofthe Herald in the vicinity of the Che- [ rohee country and the Golden Alines, will enable us to j give all the Indian and Golden News from that region. ( But lew persons, it is hoped, in this and the adjoining counties, will refuse to patronize the Herald, as there hy much money may be retained in this section that now goes abroad for Newspapers and other prints. Most excellent facilities are now afforded by the fre quency of the mails to this place, of obtaining the ear liest news from Milledgeville, Augusta, Savannah, Charleston, New-York, and the other northern cities, and of disseminating tlic same by the Herald, to every section. No pains or expense Mil! be vrithheld from rendering I the Herald worthy of a liberal patronage and which jwe have reason to believe it will obtain.

July 3 - 1 I m/i 1 For publishing a weekly Paper in the city of Augusta, Geo. to be called the HOHTH-ASSSniCAN GAZETTE. , ’ R HIE subscriber proposes to publish a weekly papet 4*. in Augusta, to be called Tnr North-American , G vzettk ; and as it will be hie endeavor to make it use ful to the public, he will venture to hope for such a - ; share ot patronage as to insure to himself a reasonable - , remuneration tar his labors. While so many papers are published in Augusta, ?nd some of them so ably > > edited, it might be thought perhaps that an additional j paper Mas scarcely necessary. But it is believed, that i even with »!1 the papers now published here, and even with the daily papers which, from notices given, are j j coTt.emplated, that still a weekly paper mav be so con ,; ducted, as to become a very acceptable periodical, both |;to those who take, and to many who do not take the other publications. How far it may be in the power ot the publisher ot The North-Amkrican G.'zettk to make 1 1: it generally acceptable, can only be known after tlic d experiment has been made.—lie can however, in ad rijyance ol the experiment, venture to engage that no ef ;j j torts ot his shall be wanting to render his paper genc j | rally useful. It will contain an account ofthe general I j occurrences ol the day—will present lo its readers all *: such foreign and domestic intelligence as maybe sup- II posed to be of an interesting or important character— j i such moral and religious information as may be appro -11 prints to such a publication, and such miscellaneous or 11 political communications, as shall, in tlie Editor’s judir -11 ment, be calculated to benefit his fellow-men—and it j! will be his endeavor to have the pages of the Gazette j | diversified with such occasional selections; or original j | communications, as may be deemed worthy the atten j i tion of such female readers, as may bo willing to pat. | ronize the undertaking. | As to the political complexion of the paper, it will be j necessary to say but little, as it is not to be exclusively j ** political publication—but as far ns political subjects | hud place in it, that course only will be pursued, which • I in the honest judgment ofthe publisher will he best cal (I ciliated to promote the substantial good of hiß fellow- II men. In a country like ourS, the people all have the same rights ami the same interests : to advance those 11 interests and to sustain these rights, will be the endea ivor ot the publisher of The North-American Gazette, |! according to the best of his ability—and with them, that happy Union ot the United States, on which their pre servation must in his view inevitably depend.

Augusta, August 31, 1832. 22 i’HOPOSAsTs For publishing in the town of Milledgeville, Ga. (During the ensuing session of the Legislature.) The Journal | ! Os the Proceedings of the Legislature of Geo. •hid History of the Times, BY M. D. J. SLADE, OF MACON, Ga. | 11 Lege totum, sci vis scire tut urn.”-*-" Read all, if yoti would know all.” II , 1 rCflllE people of Georgia are much in want of a me a. tlium of intelligence which will promptly transmit to them the “ Proceedings” of their Legislature. \Ve | are not only generally, but individually concerned in all ads of legislation, because these acts involve personal as well as political rights, between which there ex ists a most intimate connexion. It is the interest then, of every man in tlic community to be timely acquainted with the action of our representatives upon these rights. This is a desideratum —to supply M’hich the Journal is intended. At the present we labor under much incon i venience for the want of it. For near, and sometimes . more than three months after the expiration of the Scs j sion, the Laws of the State, with a few exceptions, are as a “ sealed Book” to the great mass of the people; and ; frequently, such are the injurious clTects produced by i this delay, that men have been known, who, in obc ctionce to a preceding, have actually violated a subse quent law which had been reversed or modified—not knowing that a new had been submitted for an old laM’. In addition to the entire proceedings of the Legisla ture, the Journal and History, will contain the gener al intelligence of the day, and its interest will be in |i creased by faithful reports of the transactions of the |: important Redress Convention of Georgia, Mhich con templates sitting in Milledtreville, the ensuing session. ' I The Debates in the Convention, as well as those in the I! Legislature, will be regularly and correctly reported ; |; for which purpose arrangements are making vrilh a cu lpable and experienced Stenographer. The Journal and History of the Times, will he pub lished daily, and the Legislative and Conventional Pro ceedings of each day laid in extenso before the public on the subsequent morning, and immediately transmitted I to any part of the State to Mhich the paper may be or -1 dered. The large and interesting mass of information which I this Publication will contain, and the great expense j which must be incurred to carry it into operation will I require a liberal patronage, and such a patronage the ! editor flatters himself Mill be extended to him. It is unnecessary to enlarge on the convenience and ; important utility of such a publication to members of the Legislature, in enabling them to ascertain immediately ' the precise state of any measure in which they are in | teresled and to keep their constituents advised of the progress of public business, without the abstraction of time an;l attention from their special duties, expended ;in letter writing. Terms.— The Journal nnd History of the Times will be publised daily vith a new type, by machinery, to be expressly procured for the purpose and on good paper, and will be put to subscribers at the price of Five Dol lars per session, payable on the reception of the first number. if r' Those to whom subscription lists will he sent are respectfully asked to lend their exertions nnd influence to the undertaking, and to make a return of any subscri bers which may be obtained, by the 10/A day of Octo ber.

"S’ HAVE now in the hands ofthe Engraver, which will -S be Completed hy tlie first of November next, a gene ral nnd accurate Map of tlife Cherokee Country, drawn from the returns of the District Surveyors. Owing to the great number of Lots, into which the country has been divided, particularly the Gold Region, and the T ?rge di mension of the sheet it M'ill require, to have all those numbers distinctly and accurately laid down, I have tho’t it advisable to form the Map into separate and detached Sections; which I designate as Geld Map &. Land Map. All flic Land Districts in the Territory are laid down on one sheet, and constitute a diatinct and separate Map hy themselves. The districts reserved aiid surveyed as Gold Districts, arc divided into three sheets or Maps. Districts No. 1, 2,3, 4, 5,11, 12, 13, 14, and 15, ofthe first section, form the first Map. Districts No. 1,2, 3, 14, 15,1 G, 17, 18,19, 20, 2Land 22, of the second section, form the second Map.
