[communicated.]
Mr. Jon^s—A communication in your paper
01 (lie 4th inst. is calculated to excite feelings
of regret in the mind of every friend of the
city. The inferences to be drawn from it is
that but little Interest is taken in the Library.
| The writer says there are not three Books ta
ken from the Library daily; and infers from
that fact mismanagement in the selection of
Books. Wc believe this wrong. The pur.
chasing committee of the library has for seve
ral years directed the Librarian to keep a me
morandum, and whenever a hook is called for
which is not there, to insert il; and the book
seller to the Libfefy’lias been ordered lo pro
cure it, —which is generally done. II is not
for w ant of books that so few are taken, they
are there, but few are read, nothing but the
latest novels arc ever called for.
The number of stockholders is one hundred
and filly, ol that number only seventy six pay.
Many ol the original stockholders haw. removed
away, and some have died. The income of the
library is not more than $300; the expenses 150,
the fund for the purchase of books is one hun
dred and fifty. The question is how can an in
terest in the inslilution be created in the minds
of the people of Augusta. If “A paying stock
holder” will suggest something on this point ho
will deserve the thanks of the community. There
has been no meeting of the stockholders in mote
than two years. The constitution is defective;
the managers consist of nine, whereas it should
be three or live; for what is the business of many
is not the business ofatiy. It has been suggested
as a means to increase the funds of the library to
sell shares, but no power exist in any one to do
it. Another Paying Stockholder.

The following communication from the Phila
delphia National Gazette, we publish by request,
Messrs. Editors—As some inaccurate state
ments have appeared iu the papers in relation to
the number of Commissioners who seceded from
the General Assembly of tho Presbyterian Church
at its recent organization in this city, you ate
respectfully requested to publish the following
statistical statement, made up from the printed
rolls of the two bodies now in session. The roll
of the (Orthodox) Assembly, it should be stated,
embraces only the names of those delegates who
wore duly commissioned by Presbyteries connec
ted with the General Assembly, and who placed
their commissions in the hands ol tho clerks, in
tho usual way, at tho opening of the session.
The roll of the New School body must have been
copied, in the main, from tho above roll, since
the greater part of the commissions have never
been seen by the clerks of that body; and it em
braces also the names of tho delegates from the
exscinded Synods and the Third Presbytery of
Philadelphia.

The Legislature adjourned yesterday, having
attended to the special object of its call, in a man- i
nor much to its credit. We publish its journal j
complete, and the “Act for rebuilding the citv of
Charleston,” which sec for particulars.
We deeply regret that we have to record pro
ceedings on another mailer, of a character more
to be lamented for tho precedent they seem to
establish, than for any immediate effect they arc
likely to produce. We have at present barely
lime to slate the facts, leaving comment to the
next opportunity.
On Tuesday night, a Caucus was hold by the
parly in favor of tho suh-Treasury, with the hard
money clause. We have heard it said that this
• was occasioned by letters received that morning
from Washington) ,1V that asjt may, a mens'
urc was determined upon, tho effect of which is
to assail the independence of thoso members of
our delegation at Washington, who differ in opin
ion from their colleagues and tho majority of the
Legislature. Jiecaute, the Administration have'
resolved to make another effort to carry tire suh-
Treasury bill, and forces arc so nearly balanced
that tile question may perhaps be decided by the
voles of those very gentlemen.
Next morning, Mr. Davie introduced the fob
lowing Resolution.
“IF/icrea.i, we have lately mixed with our
constituents, and believe that they are decidedly
in favor of the suh-Treasury system, and approve
of the Kcsolutions past last session of the Legis
lature, which Kcsolutions declare it expedient to
separate lire Federal Revenues from Hanks and
hanking operations, and dangerous and unconsti
tutional to incorporate a National Hank;
"Resolved, That wo earnestly request our
Senators and Representatives in Congress, to
vole lor the bill lo establish the Independent
Treasury, with the specie provision.”
After some hours of very excited discussion,
Mr. Davie withdrew lids Resolution, and substi
tuted tho following, which, after some further de
bate wore adopted by the House, and afterwards
by the Senate.
“1. Resolved, That in the opinion of this Lcgis,
lature, the Resolutions adopted at the last session,
recommending the separation of tho Government
from tho Hanks, and the eventual collection anil
dUbursemcct of the public money of the United
States, in the constitutional currency, have re
ceived the approbation of the people of this Slate, i
“2. Resolved, That in tho opinion of Ibis Leg- j i
islaturc, the policy indicated by those Resolutions j
is essential to the best interests of the country; j
and that any public servant who refuses to pro
mote the same, pursues a course injurious to tho
welfare and prosperity of the Slate.
“3. Resolved, That tho presiding officers of
tho Legislature be requested to transmit copies of i
these Resolutions to the Senators and Represcn- j
tatives of this State in the Congress of the ,
United States.’ i
The proceeding was opp&sed throughout, with >
great ability and spirit, by a small minority, ! t
among whom Gen. Hamilton, in the Senate, and \ 1
Messrs. Peligru, Adams, A. W. Thomson, Mv , 1
crSjToomcr of Charleston, and Ley,of the House, I 1
were the chief speakers. A summary of their ,
reasons may lie seen in the protest vvhicli was on- j t
lered on the journals. t
Wo regard this act as a tiling vvhicli the calm j ;
judgement of the people of the Stale cannot fail \ 1
soon or late lo condemn. The whole proceeding | (
from its inception at Washington to its maturity j 1
at Columbia, shews a violation of constitutional I I
right, and a want of individual delicacy and of 1
public dignity, that certainly will not raise us in 1
the estimation of our neighbors. We will devote 1
a large space in our next and future papers lo 1
its discussion. 1
Form li ckv ami ujiluckt i.aiiies.— The 1
Hartford Courant gives an account of four 1
Yankee ladies, residing in the village of i
Bloomfield, who were dangerously poisoned t
on the Ist instant. That’s the unlucky part of I
the story. Prompt medical assistance, how- '•
ever, was called in, and the four ladies were t
restored to health again. Thai’s the lucky t
part ol it. The ladies had accidentally col- 1
lectcd some white hellebore, and cooked it i
with a lot of vegetables. After this was done, i <
they went at their poisonous meal with such t
rapidity that the hellebotc used the whole four t
up before they knew what hurt them. Ladies, I
you must hereafter eat with more moderation, t
if there be victuals “enough logo round”—it
not, you must do as we printers do—“jef to i
see who stands out.” If \ou don’t know
what we mean by “jef,” call on the biggest i
man in your village—the printer--and lie'll
tell you all about it.—. VO. Herald. I

A letter was received here this morning from
W ashington city, signed by Bdward lie*ler, sta
ling iliat Mr. Ross’ proposition to the War De.-
pertinent, to remove the Clicrokees himself to
their new hollies, had been allowed hv the .'■'acre
lory of War. li is generally known that Mr.
Ross’ proposition -.errs to remove the Cherokee
within two years from the 23d of May. The
letter goes on timber to stale, that the general ar
rangements and stipulations in the proposition,
had been agreed upon by both parties, and that
they would be ratified the next day in full.
The effect of such a communication upon the
Clierokccs is now easily perceivable. But one
feeling seems to exist, which is a general mur.,
tout ot honor and glory to John Ross. The in
telligence is generally doubled by the whiles; but
owing to the responsibility of the author, it in
held by the Clicrokees to be as true as revelation.
’1 o the politeness of our correspondent, wo are
indebted for (he following
ORDERS NO. 25.
lliiAit Quarteus, Eastern Division, £
Cherokee Agency, Tcnn., May 17, 1838. 3
Major General Scott, of the United States’ Ar
my, announces to the troops assembled and as.
; swnbling in ibis country, that, with them, he has
been charged by the President to cause the Cite,
rokce Indians yet remaining in North Carolina,
Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama, to remove to
the West, according to the Treaty of 1835. His
Stall w ill be as follows;
Lieutenant Colonel W. .1. Worth, acting Ad
jutant General, Chief of thy Stall'.
Major M. M. Payne, acting Inspector General.
Lieutenants R. Anderson, and B. D. Keyes,
regular Aid-de-camp:
Colonel A. 11. Kenan, and Lieutenant 11. I).
Shaw, volunteer Aids-de-camp.
Any order given orally, or in writing by either
ol those officers, in the name of the Major Gene,
nil, will he respected and obeyed as if given by
himself.
The Chiefs of Ordinance, of the Quarter Mas
ter’s Department ami of the Commissariat, as also
the Medical Director of this Army, will, as soon
as they can he ascertained, be, announced in or.
ders.
To carry out the general object with the great.,
csl promptitude and certainly, and with the least
possible distress to the Indians, the country they
are to evacuate is divided into three principal Mi
litary Districts, under as many officers of high
rank, to command the troops serving therein,
subject to the instruction of the Major General.
Eastern J lira si on, to bo commanded by Briga
dier General Bt)slis, of the United Slates’ Army,
or the highest officer in rank, serving therein: —
North Carolina, the part of Tennessee lying north
of Odmor county, Georgia, and the counties ot
Gilmer, Union,and Lumpkin, in Georgia. , Head
Quarters, in the first instance, say, at Fort Duller,
Western District , to he commanded by Colot
ncl Lindsay, of the United Stales’ Army, or llu
highest officer in rank, serving therein:—Aluba
nra, the residue of Tennessee, and Dade county,
in Georgia. Head .Quarters, in the first instance
say, at Ross’ Landing.
.Middle District, to ho commanded by Driga
diet General Armislcad, of the United Slates’Ar
my, or the highest officer in rank, serving there
in:—All that part of the Cherokee country, lyitif
within the .Slate ol Georgia, and which is no
comprised in (he two other districts. Hern
Quarters, in the first instance, say, at New Echuta
It is not intended that the foregoing boundariei
between tiro principal commanders, shall Ik
strictly observed. . Either, when carried near the
district of another, will not hesitate to extend Iris
operations, according to the necessities of the case,
hut with all practicable harmony, into the adjoin
ing dis riot. And, among Ins principal objects,
in case of actual or apprehended hostilities, will
he that of affording adequate pioteclion to our
while people in and around the Chciukeo country.
The senior officer actually present in each dis
trict, will receive instructions from tiro Major Ge
neral as to the time of commencing Ihe removal,
and every thing that pray occur interesting to the
service, in the district, will ;be promptly reported
to the same source.’ The Major General will en
deavor to visit in a short time all parts of the Che
rokee country occupied by the troops.
I ho dutf-pe devolved on the army, through the
orders of the Major General and those of the
commanders of districts, under him, arc of a high
ly important and critical nature.
ihe Cherokccs, by the advances which they
have made in Christianity and civilization, arc by
fur the most interesting tribe of Indians in the
territorial limits of the United Stales. Os the
15,000 of those people who arc now to he remo
ved—(and the time within which a voluntary
emigration was stipulated, will expire on the 23d
inst.) —it is understood that about four fifths are
opposed, or have become averse to a distant emi
gration; and allho’ none are in actual hostilities
with the United Stales, or threaten a resistance by
arms, yet the troops will probably bo obliged to
cover the whole country they inhabit, in order to
make prisoners and In march or to transport the
prisoners, by families,either to this place, to Ross’
Lauding or Gunter’s Landing, where they are
finally delivered over to the Superintendent of
Cherokee Emigration.
Considering the number and temper of the
mass to be removed, together with the extent and
fastnesses of the country occupied, it willreadily
occur that simple indiscretions—-acts of harshness
and cruelly, on the part ol the troops, may lead,
step by step, to delays, to impatience and exaspes
rilion, and in the end, to a general war and ear.
uage—a result, in the case of those particular In
dians, utterly abhorrent to the generous sympa
thies of the whole American people. Every pos
sihle kindness, compatible with the necessity of
removal, must, therefore, bo shown by the troops,
and, if, in the ranks, a despicable individual
should he found, capable of indicting a wanton
injury or insult on any Cherokee man, woman
or child, it is hereby made the special duly of the
nearest good officer or man, instantly to inter
pose, and seize aid consign the godly wretch to
the severest penalty of the laws. Tko Major Ge
neral is fully persuaded that this injunction will
not he neglected by the brave men under Ids com
mand, who cannot he otherwise than jealous of
their own honor and that of lluir country.
By early and persevering acts of kindness and
humanity, it is impossible to doubt that the Indians 1
may soon he induced to confide in the army, and )
instead of /feeing to mountains and forests, (lock
to us for food and clothing. If, however, through !
false apprehensions, individuals, or a party here |
and there, should seek to hide thbmselvcs, they
must ho pursued and invited to surrender, hut
not fired up All unless they should make a stand
to resist, liven in such eases, mild remedies may
sometimes succeed belter than viol ncc ; and it
cannot be doubted that if we got possession of
the women and children first, or first capture the
men, that, in cither case, the outstanding mem
bers of the same family will readily come in on
the assurance of forgiveness and kind treatment.
Every captured man, as well a.) all who surren
der themselves, must be disarmed, with the ai.nu
ranee that their weapon:, will be carefully ptc
tcivcd and restored to them at, or beyond the
Mi 1 if’pi; in cither case, the men will be
goaidtJ and escorted, exuipt it may be, where
their women ami children aio as safely secured
as hostages, hut, in general, families in our jins'*
cession will not be separated, unless it be to semi
1 men, as runners, to invito others to come in.
It may happen that Indians will bo found 100
1 sick, in the opinion of the nearest surgeon, to be
1 removed to one of the depots indicated above ,in
every such case, one or more of the family or the
friends of the sick person, will ho li ft in attend*
ance, with ample subsistence and remedies, and
the remainder of the family removed by the troojis.
Infants, superannuated persons, lunatics and wo
■ men in a helpless condition, will all, in removal,
• require peculiar attention which the brave and
human will seek to adapt to the necessities of
1 the several cases.
1 All strong men, women, hoys and girls, will be
• made to march under proper escorts. For the
feeble, Indian horses and ponies will furnish a
speedy resource, as well as for bedding and light
1 cooking utensils—all of jvhich, as intimated in
Treaty, will bo necessary to give the emigrants
both in going to, and after arrival at, their now
! homes. Such, and all other light articles of pro-*
perty, the Indians will ho allowed to collect -end
to lake with them, os also their slaves, who will
he treated in like manner with the Indians them
selves.
• If the horses and ponies bo not adequate to the
• above (impose, wagons must be supplied.
> Corn, oats, fodder, and other forage, also beef
■ cattle, belonging to tbo Indians to bo removed,
i will be taken possession of by the proper depot t

of money in their hands. The action of such a
body of men, supposing them to bo animated by
1 one spirit, must be lremondc.us in an election ;

Indian Muuniov—liver since the discovery
ol out continent the remains of antiquity found
in various portions of it, and particularly in tho
Western regions, have continued to excite the
curiosity and engage tho attention of the antiqu
ary and the scholar. In tho lust number of Billt
man's Journal of Science and Art, wo liud an
elaborate article Ironr the pen es It (J Taylor Ksq.
treating of tho “Indian Mounds and earth works
hr the form of animal effigies, cliielly in the Wis
consin Territory.” The mounds, it appears, ge
nerally found in tho prairies of this interesting
section of country, are usually about fifty feel in
diameter, and not more than ten or fifteen feet in
ole ration, hut frequently are not more than half
dint extent. These accumulations of earth were
originally burial places,may bo inferred from the
fact that at the present, day, in Missouri and oth
er places, they are found to contain graves of de
ceased Indians, who have died at a late date, thus
rendering it probable that in the selection of their
depositories lor tho dead, savages followed tho
example of a people that existed in lime un
known.
It is stated that in the “American Jlcltom” no
less than two hundred of these tumuli arc visible
from a single spol, the largest of which is ninety
feet high and 2100 feet in circumference. In
lowa and particularly in the neighborhood of tho
“Four Lakes, ’ earth works in the form of anim
als are very nnmcrotis. In a group of these
mounds, about eighteen miles west of the “Four
Lukes,” there are seen the clligi s of at least six
quadrupeds, six parallelograms, a circular tumu
lus, one human figure, and ono circle or ring,
probably the scene of festive or warlike dances,
or Ihi! place in which captives were tortured nr
put to death. The great Indian war path lead
ing from Lake Michigan near Milwaukio to the
Mississippi ohovo J’rairic du Gliicn, passes along
■ by these earth works.
Much speculation exists as to the precise kind
1 of quadruped inlmded to lie pourtrayed, some
persons supposing it to lie llie horse, and the huf
lalo,lo. lhe latter of which two opinions the writer
in llic Journal seems to incline, although ho ad
mils that the hump, a most striking characteris
tic ot that annual', is got delineated: The repre
-1 actuations of animals vary from P 0 to 120 feet in
r length. In the centre of the group referred to
s above is the figure of a human being, lying in an
' Last and West direction, the head being towards
. the West and the legs arid arms extended. Ils
t length is one hundred and twenty fivo feel, and
j so clearly defined as not to admit of any mistake
I as to the intention of those who formed it. The
