Cherokee Indians.
The Western Georgian of July 31 on the
authority of the Hamilton Gazelle, printed at
Doss’ Landing, Tennessee, gives us the follow'
ing information respecting the emigration of the
Cherokee Indians.
“The whole number of Indians in the nation
on the 23d ol May, Ivas estimated at IC.OOO—
out of this number about 2,000 were despatched
by the Superintendent by water to their now
homes in the west, during the month of June.
They ate divided into three parlies; the lirst con
sisting of 950, which started about the 15th of
June, under the following officers: Lt. Davis, U.
S. Artillery, conductor; Messrs. Leaves, Walker
and Gox, assistants. Messrs, Cates and Foiger,
physicians. The second parly of 800 started
about the 10th ofjune under the Following offi
cers, Lt. Whitcly. U. S. Artillery, conductor;
Messrs, John Hooke, and F. Price, assistants.
Messrs. Hodsden and Morrow, physicians. The
third parly consisting of 1070 started about 10th
June, in wagons to Waterloo, Ala, where they
were to be cmbarkeJ in boats. The officers in
charge of the party are Henry Bateman conduct
or; Messrs Goody and Slantlifcr assistant.-; —
Messrs. Hoyle and Willoughby, physicians.
“We understand the first parly mentioned,
reached the Western Nation in twenty days,
without the loss of a life. The second parly is
presumed to be near the borders of the Western
Nation, and third parly, has perhaps by this lime
reached the Mississippi river.
“On account of the season, Gen Scott on the
13th June, suspended the emigration until the Ist
September next, at which lime vigorous opera
tions will be commenced, in the mean time noth
ing- will be done except to subsist the Indians at
lire different depots.

Prediction Fulfilled.
From a speech of Mr. McDuffie, delivered on
the 4th of April, 1834, on the removal of the pub
lic deposilos, the prophetic spirit of which must
excite wonder and admiration in the breast of ev
ery reader :
“sir, it has never been the intention of this Ad
ministration to return to a specie currency.
From the very first message of the present Chief
Magistrate, onlil tbo present moment, there lias
been a deliberate design on the part of those who
have written his messages to establish a Govern
ment bank in some form, to lie used as a machine
of political power. I could establish this before
any impartial jury in the country, by a chain ol
evidence strong and conclusive; but I have not
time to go into details. In the first messages be
recommended a bank, ‘founded upon the credit of
the Government and its revenues;’ and in a sub
sequent message ho says ; ‘ln the spiritDf im
provement and compromise which distinguishes
our country and its institutions, it becomes us to
inquire whether it be not possible to secure the
advantages atforded by the present bank, so mod
ified in Us principles and structure as to obviate
constitutional and other objections.
“In bis conversations with some of the commit
tees from our commercial cities, he informed them
that if his experiment should fail, as it had alrea
dy, he would have a bank ‘founded upon the
clic ks and balances of this Government;’a riddle
which I cannot interpret; but, which, like the re
sponses of tiro Delphic oracle, will doubtless be
interpreted to suit any emergency. We have al
so heard from a distinguished and confidential
friend of Mr, Van Huron, the second officer of I
the Government, that we must have a ‘political
bank.’ Now, sir, put this and that together, take
all those proofs, and connect them with the visi
ble portents which we see all ab rut u . and no
man can resist the conclusion that n political
bank', wielded by lire Executive Department, and j
converting the whole moneyed resources and ere, j
ult cf tlie country into rn element of political
power, is to Le the find consummation of i his !

The celebrated O. P. Q,. in bin last teller
from Paris, published in the Now York Ex

“l must say a word to day before I close

From the Sucketts llarhor UVicf
Wo have read a letter written at French Greek,
dated July 14lh, and published in (ho North
American of the 19th ult. which discloses one of
the most extraordinary transactions that has yet
occurred upon the line of this frontier. The edi
tor vouches fur the respectable character of his 1
correspondent, and also, says that the information
contained in that letter has hecn confirmed thro’
other credible sources. A transaction so extra
ordinary requires some explanation if K can bo 1
given.
It appears that permission has been granted by
| Marlin Van Boren, President of the U, States, to
the British authorities, to come within the terri-
I torial jurisdiction of the United Stales, and upon 1
i American ground, for the purpose of detecting
I those whom they may suppose were engaged in
| the destruction of the Bir Robert Peel. What 1
i might have been readily anticipated from such a 1
I permission has already taken place. I'hc British
authorities, availing themselves of no ex'raordi- I
nary a license, caminenced scouring the Blands |
sad shores ot the St. Lawrence with a large bode
of regular British soldiers.
The quiet end peaceable citizens of th.s stale, '
resid ng upon the American islands of the St. 1
i Lawrence, have been injured and outraged bv an
invading Uriiish soldiery—their houses broken
pillaged and robbed ; and linally American
citizens, quicily pursuing (heir own business upon
American waters, arc seized and forcibly dragged
from their occupations by llrittsh soldiers, and
tlnoalencd with imprisonment in the fort and jail
at Kingston. And these aggressions are permit
led under license of the President!

Pirates in Atcluitaluyu Uay.
We learn from the Franklin (Atfakapns) pa
pers, that a gang of pirates have been arrested in
Atchafalaya Hay. The particulars are given at
full long 4 .!! both in the lianncr and the Republi
can; but, ns it was la'c yesterday evening when
I wo received those papers, we have merely room
for an abstract.
It may be remembered that a man named
Sharpe was murdered some lime since, about fifty
or sixty miles below ibis city. On the Hth nil.,
- three individuals, suspected ol being engaged in
i Uni murder, were anosled n few miles below
i Franklin, and gave in their names us Richard
Wiight, Jonathon Wright and George Camplin.
i \ On being questioned, Camplin confessed that
Bbarpe’sgleulb was the result of a quarrel between
| him and Richard Wright, lie staled that they
• subsisted by oyster fishing on the Mississippi, but
latterly bud removed to the Teelir. lie also sta
ted that two of their parly, a man and Woman,
were at their fishing gtound in Oyster Hay.
These Mr. Marlin, the constable of Franklin, do
1 termined upon arresting, and having procured a
boat and ctew, left that place on the lOlh. On
I the lOh he succeeded in finding them, but in al
most a starving condition, having had nothing
hut shell lish to subsist Upon for four or live
days. When leaving, he observed approaching,
at some distance, a boat singularly built, which lie
recognized as one ho had met and hailed ou his
passage down, a day er two previous. It was evi
dent that she had changed tier course and follow
ed him. This, with other circumstances, created
a suspicion that her object was plunder. Fortu
nately, (be U. 8. Culler Woodbury was cruising
at the time, some fifteen miles distant; this Mr.
M. knew, and therefore hoarded the schooner
Temperance, which he afterwards fell in with,
procured a light boat and having reached lire
Woodbury, Cnjit. Oiccnc at once manned and
armed a boat, which went in pursuit.
When the strangers were overhauled, they
could show no papers, or give any satisfactory an
swers, They were six in number—all desperate
looking characters, and had six loaded rifles on
dock—below were lound double barrelled guns,
pistols, &c., with a plentiful supply of provisions.
The vessel was skill built, and under the tonnage
required by law—and there is no doubt that she
was frttcd’out expressly to plunder the small coas
ting vessels Capt. Greene, of tho Woodbury,
had had information of pirates being on the coast,
and was therefore on the alert.
Tho Hanticr states that the crow of the boat
were taken on board the culler to he conveyed to
this city—hut the Republic.,n, of a later date,
adds that they were released by the cutler, the
commandant being "salislicd of the rectitude ol
their intentions.”
Tho other individuals mentioned above, ex
cepting J. Wriglit, uie alt in prison at Franklin—
and are to bo sent to this city.

J TUc Falca ul the board lo day have been
very oxiensive, but prices in some instances huv
t ing gone up very rapidly, aru now receding, al
- though on advance has been ellected on some
t stocks. United States Hank rose 1 per cent ;
i Delaware and Hudson £ per cent; Morris (/'anal
i ? j per cent; Commercial Hank Manchester, wfcht
up aj per cent; Kentucky i per cent; Vicksburg
1 i per cent; others have fallen oil from the rates
of yesterday. Phoenix Hank receded 1 percent'
Mohawk i per cent; Paterson 1 percent ; Har
hcni If percent; Siuningtou f per cent.
Some sales of Treasury Notes were made at a
premium. This falling off in the prices may he
attributed to (ho reaction consequent upon the
rapid rise ol prices for a few days previous.
The activity of Wall street docs not increase
much as yet. Iho new hanks are slowly assu
ming form and shape. Some of them are nearly
ready for opening business ; of these the new
branch of the United B.ales Hank of Pennsylva
nia seems decidedly (he favorite with financial
men, and a pood deal is expected from the known
skill and business capacities of the gentlemen who
are in charge of its management.
i here is no change in the rates ol domestic cx*
change lo he remarked to day. The season is
however, rapidly approaching when merchants
from a distance will commence their purchases,
which will more or loss affect inland exchange,—’
We perceive that southern merchants have already
appeared in Philadelphia bringing with them the
hills of their stales, which are at a groat discount.
A Philadelphia paper mentions that one house of
that city had offered lo take these hills, dollar (or
dollar, for their debts, tho exchange lo be settled
at the rate it may be in four months, provided it
is less at that time Ilian now. A Tennessee pa
per remarks, the Planters’ Hank refuses lo issue
Trcas. notes on Philadelphia for the present and i
continues to check for her own paper at 10 per
cent premium. Tho Union Hank issues post -
notes. Bhc also notifies her customers that Ala
hama money will continue to bo received after the
first of August without the aid of a new discount.
Thus, for example, il a man owes the bank $5,000 1
and instead of tho usual call of 10 or at) per cent, i
can make it convenient lo pay (ho whole amount '
j in Alabama money, ho has the privilege of do- i
ing so.
The Globe remarks that the Secretary of the t
Treasury has accepted the offer for the sale, at t
par, of the bonds of the Pennsylvania Hank for 1
two millions, which falls due in Sept. 1839. The 1
sale of the bond, payable in 1840, has been de- <
ferred for the present.
A Four. Mu kite it Si'scr.cTi.n.—Considerable
excitement has been occasioned in Haverhill and
vicinity, by the disappearance of a young lady, 1
by the name of Adeline Wallace, w ho, two years
since, was in ibo employ of Phineas Corliss, a ci
gar manufacturer of that place, since which time,
allhough diligent inquiry lias been made by her ;
distressed relattoiis, no intelligence lias been board
of her. Corliss, her employer, it is well known,
was a most abandoned and wicked character, mid ,|
it is now more than suspected, that to Ids other j
crimes that of murder is lo he added !
On the disappearance of the girl from Haver- j
hill, Corliss gave out word that she had gone to
work in one of Iho factories at Lowell; hut subsc- v
qiienl investigation has proved that such was not r
the fact, and all the efforts of her friends lo obtain „
information respecting her have as yet proved
unavailing. In the mean time Corliss has (led J
the Btate, and was seen not long since in Mis
souri, with an assumed name; in company with a ,
woman, whom he railed his wife. Numerous ro- (
ports are in circulation, many of which are either j,
unfounded or greatly exaggerated; hut that
foul play has taken place, and the giil disposed j
of in some way or other, is quite certain.
In c-nnection with this matter, it may be proper
lo state, that two females foimerly of this place,
and who worked for Corliss, shortly after the
disappearance of Mis.i Wallace, have stated, that ~

I Ol all itio Ht‘ll cvulem nonsense (hat ever cn
j lorcil into ilit? heail ol a great man, wo have mot
j wiih none that exceeds that put forth by Mr. Cal
houn in a sentiment addressed to a Eoco Foco
gaihering in Ohio, li is this" Thomas JclTer
mu mnl 'UB, ami a final aiul complete separation
ofi lie political nail money power now and forever.”
To produce this ••final and complete reparation
ol the political and die money power,” Mr. Cul
liniin proposes die hhib.'J’reuMiry scheme, which
gives to the Executive, who is in fact the very
Inens nt the political power, entire control over the
revenues of the couniiy. And this Mr. Calhoun
culls separating the political from the money pow
er. Hy the name rule v.c suppose he would call
it unitin'' the political and money power, if Cuti
gtess were to take away from the Executive all
control whatever over the collection, safekeeping
and disbursement ofthc public moneys.
When Mr. Calhoun voted for a dis ribttlion nf
llie surplus itnontio among die seic al Hiates, as.
ter having made a brilliant speech uffuinot that
mode of disposing of il, )io excused the manifest
inconsistency ol his conduct, by f.e pica that hq
wished to get the immense accumulation fronl
under the control ol die Executive—that he (ought
to “separate the political from the money power ”
\\ hen ho utlerwards insisted upon the payment
of the withheld instalment, even if it had to be
made in * shin-plasters,” he avowed his object to
ha to depilvo tbe President of the smallest inllii.
cnee which the “money power” could give him.
This same Mr. Calhoun now lolls ns dial the best
way to bring about "a final and complete separa,
lion ol the political and money power,” is to have
the icvcnues collected in gold and silver, placed
in strong boxes with iron bars an 1 bolls, and de
livered into (ho custody of individuals .appointed
by the Executive, (who is in truth the political
power) and removable at his will. We ate told,
now that there is less danger of bribery, corrup
tion and fraud, in die Executive and hiseicaturoi
then there is in the Hanks and the People—that
the Executive and his paniv.an officeholders may
lie safely intrusted with the keeping of the whole
revenues of (lie country, hut (hat our liberties will
he certainly overthrown if we continue to pursue
a system with regard to the custody of the pub
lic moneys, which lily years’ experience bus
taught us was economical, beneficial, harmless
and safe.
W lien Genera! Jackson had resolved on moving
the public deposi es from the Hank nf the United
Stales, he employed language of the following,
character in Ins celebrated Cabinet paper of the
ISlh Sept. 1833 :
“In ridding the country of an irresponsible
power which has attempted to control the Govern
menl, care must be taken not to unite the same,
power with (he Executive branch. To give to
dm Executive the power over individuals now
possessed by the Hank of (lie United Slates even
with the material dilVercnco that he is icsponsi
bio to the people, would be as objectionable and
dangerous as to leave it as it is. Neither the mm
nor the other is necessary, and therefore ought
not to be resorted to.” —Alobile Mcr. Adv.

thirty odd dollars of the notes of dm Hank of

indemnify him. The reply was prompt, that if
he would make affidavit, lieforh a justice of the
Peace, that 1m had suffered dm loss so slated, they
nail a by law of the institution which authorized
ilmin to pay the amount. This is creditable to
