request from all who have not yet provided

TIIE CHEROKEES.
In another column, will be found the order
of Gen. Floyd, disbanding the Georgia troops,
and announcing the complete removal of all
the Cherokees beyond the bounds of Georgia.
We cannot but congratulate ourselves that
this question, which has so long agitated the
.State and the United States, is at last settled,
and no longer remains as a matter of exciting
discussion. We do not intend, at this late
period, to enter into the merits of a question,,
which has, for so many years attracted so much I
attention, and in relation to which there has
been, from interested motives, much more of!
false representation and misunderstanding, j
than could even be stated within the limits of
a newspaper. We do wish, however, to call
attention to the mere fact of this rapid remov- j
al within a single month of five thousand In- j
dians from this State. In various quarters of j
the Union, Georgia has been stigmatised as ■
removing the ancient possessors and aborigin
al inhabitants of the soil against their trill to
the far West. Now, is it possible that any J
community, numbering the force of the Cher- j
okees, could be violently removed in so short!
a space of time? It is plain that they coiildl
not, and the event at last speaks the truth, that j
they were not so removed.
The Indians, like all other societies, are \
much under the influence of their leaders, and j
as these found immense profit in remonstrating!
against the removal and presenting every pos
sible obstruction to it, petitions were shower
ed upon the tables, and delegations crowded !
the Hulls of Congress. In this, the compas- J
sionate and credulous could see only the evi- !
dence of the oppression of the General Gov-j
' eminent, ami of the cruelty of the State of j
* Georgia. But lo! the act of May last was
11 passed, giving to the chiefs of the Cherokees j
|£ one million one lpmdred thousand dollars in
to the six millions they had al- j
It ready received, as an indemnity, and imme-J
SfLdiately w.e find that the object of the remon-1
fpL-strances and delays is effected, and they move j
■ oft’ to the West ns peaceably and quietly as j
■ could be desired.
■ It is, then, most absurd to talk of cruelty and
■oppression in this matter. The Indians are (
to new homes in the West more
■ pleasant and fertile than those they leave be
■ hind them. They take their departure from
ittjeorgia, to rejoin the majority of their nation,
HWho have already gone before them. By this
they are made the wealthiest com
~v~jqpunity on the face of the earth, and they give
\up their title to the Boil, for a consideration
that would induce any society of whiles to j
emigrate in like manner.
INTERNAL IMPROVEMENTS.
If we may judge from the unanimous voice
‘jjf the press in Georgia, there is but one opin
ion throughout the State, on this all important
topic. Upon this ground the press of all par
ities unite, and no candidate for the next Leg
islature can hope for election, who does not
maintain the true policy and interest of the
State in improving the facilities of communi
cation between her different sections and w ith
the Great West, and thus providing for the in
crease of her commercial importance, and for
the maintenance of the dense population
which her resources are so well able to sup-
port.
We have already had the pleasure to lay be
fore our readers accounts of the successful
progress of the Brunswick and Florida Rail
Road Company. We are now gratified to be
aide, in confirmation of previous information (
to present to our readers the following intel-;
ligence from the Columbus Enipiirer ot the
movements of Mr. King,‘the President of the
Company. We are happy to observe the deep
sense, that is fclt in the Western part of the
State of their interest in this important project
COL. THOMAS BUTLER KING.
This untiring advocate of an enlarged and
■ enlightened system of Internal Improvements
- is now in our City, and brings the pleasing in
telligence that the completion of his favorite
measure, the Rail Road from Brunswick to
the junction of the Flint and Chattahoochee, is
I , 10 longer doubtful. Ho has just made a tour
I through the southern and south-western coun
ties, and obtained stock and pledges to the a
j mount of eleven hundred thousand dollars.
The length of the proposed road is 310 miles
—the estimated cost, $1,500,C00. The work,
it is expected, will be commenced early in the
ensuing autumn, and completed perhaps in
two years. Col. K. feels assured that the ad
ditional amount of stock can be obtained
w henever desired, and the spirit ot the people
is such as to enable those concerned to in
i crease it to almost any amount.
I The planters who have so nobly stood for
ward in aid of this undertaking, have given
, ample proof of their intelligence and foresight.
It is susceptible of mathematical demonstra
tion, that the completion of such a line of
| communication will increase the value of the
immensely fertile and productive lands of.
1 South-western GeoYgia, from 50 to 100 per
: cent But the influences of the enterprise
! "ill not terminate here. Our own City and
the surrounding country are vitally interested.
That our citizens are duly sensible of this
fact, has been proved by the reception given
to the projector of this scheme. Ilia arrival
was the signal for the commencement of fes
tivities: nor has the character of our commun
ity for hospitality and public spirit suffered bv
the occasion. These marks of respect to men i
laboring as public benefactors, are highly *
| commendable; they insure a high standard of;
| intellectual and moral worth, and prompt to
faithfulness and zeal on the part of all con
i cerned.
j In pursuance of an imitation by a joint j
i Committee from the City authorities and in
habitants, Col. King met a large concourse of
bis fellow-citizens, and communicated to them
his views and the prospects of his undertaking ;
—demonstrating in a plain, forcible, though
unpretending manner, the necessity of a di->
reel communication between this place and!
the Atlantic Coast Ilis reasoning went to j
; prove clearly that the work will not only be a 1
1 great public benefit, but likewise profitable to ■
the stockholders. Some of these details, with j
our own reflections, will be gives hereafter, l
when we become more accurately informed j
relative to certain statistical statements. There j
is no doubt, however, of the undertaking’s!
yielding a handsome profit; our desire is to be
as accurate as possible. We hope, in future, j
to give this subject a considerable share of our*
attention. It richly deserves this. It is of j
more importance than the making of I’rcsid-1
ents, and the dry details of politics. We hope 1
that it w ill claim the attention of our next !
Legislature in such a manner as to call forth ;
some decided action. Individual enterprise;
may, as in the present instance, accomplish j
wonders, but as we have heard it facetiously j
said, “there is but one Col. King, and innumer-1
able projects, the completion of which the ne- j
cessities and convenience of the people dc-!
niaml.” Surely the people’s representatives i
will do something worthy of themselves andj
!the State. Give ns the Rail Roads, ami we:
will not dispute about the petty, contemptible
| affairs of modern political aspirants.
FROM WASHINGTON.
“ The long agony,” that is to say, the long
session is at last over. On Monday, the 9th !
inst. both Houses of Congress adjourned. The 1
last week of their session was not marked by ;
the transaction of any business of remarkable
interest, unless we except the passage of the
bill security of passengers in steam
boats. The bills for the ordinary expenses of
Government, for the continued erection of for
tifications and for the improvement of harbors,
&c. occupied most of the week. Among a!
list of these bills that have passed both Hous
es, we observe one to purchase the papers of,
the late President Madison, for SSOOO, and a
nothcr appropriating $15,000 to the survey of
the harbor of Charleston. The House hag also 1
passed the bill from the Senate plohibiting the ;
; U. S. Bank of Pennsylvania longer to issue the 1
■ old notes of the U. S. Bank.
I
We do not yet learn the particulars of the ;
j Steamboat bill before alluded to, but shall lay ;
them before our readers ns soon as received.
We are however, gratified to perceive that by
this bill the mere fact of explosion is to be con
jsidered as prima facie evidence of negligence,
j and as of course, imposing all liability for loss
jes in consequence, upon the owners of the
■boats.
j Mr. Kendall has retired from the office of
; Postmaster General and Mr. Grundy reigns in
| his stead. Mr. Paulding of New York has ar
: rived in Washington and entered upon his du-
Ities as Secretary of the Navy.
I Thus has closed tbewnost eventful sessiqn
! of Congress that has occurred for ten years,—
j in which the Administration have been three
j times defeated in their most favorite measures,
i Though by their resistance to Sub-Treasury
, schemes and their opposition to the consolida
ition of the money power in the hands of the
I Executive, the House fairly represent the feel
j ing of the pcopfie still, so long is it since the e-
I lection of most of tho members, that they do j
not yet represent the strength and universality j
|of that feeling. Three sessions yet remain of i
the Administration of Martin Van Buren. It j
j must, from the doings of this Congress be ob- ]
viouA to him Lliat he is placed under tiie stern
! necessity of abandoning the narrow ai>i ob
scure path made by “the footsteps ofmy predc-j
cessor,” for the bread and beaten highway of
the public good.
The Harrisburg Telegraph confirms the
statements heretofore published, that the re- j
pairs of damages done to the* State Canal, by i
the recent flood in the Juniata, will not costj
less than $100,009 dollar-.
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
INDIANS IN THE OKEFINOKE.
We lay before the public the following let
ter from St. Marys, which, we regret to say,
came too late for our last. While we grieve
to learn, that our worst apprehensions, in re
i gard to the insecurity of the families near the
Sw amp, are realized, it is a relief to be inform
ed of the vigorous measures of Gen. Taylor
of w hich w e cannot doubt the success. Mean
! time, we anxiously await further intelligence,
for which we hope to be indebted to the same
authentic source, to wlqch we acknow ledge
our obligations for this.
St. Marys, July 7th, 1838.
The steamboats Charleston and Santee ar
rived here this' morning from Black Creek,
having on board 520,000 rations for General
Taylor’s detachment now moving towards the
Okefinoke, headed by the General. These
! steamers will leave here to-morrow for Camp
! Pinckney on the St. Mary’s river. Cnpt. Ilcb
; bard, of the Charleston, states, that reports
! reached Black Creek just before he left, of the
j murder of two white families by the Indians
in the neighborhood of Newnansville. One '
of these families from the windows of their
dwelling, killed two Indians before they [were
overpowered.
i A report reached here this morning] from
Ware County which is no doubt correct. It
says that Captain Knight’s company of mili
tia, w hilst marching through a defile, was fired
upon by Indians, and Mr. Knight (brother of j
Captain K.) was killed fin the spot, nnd five \
men were wounded. It seems that the Indians
received no injury.
THE GEORGIA TROOPS IN TIIE'
CHEROKEE COUNTRY.
We give below Gen. Floyd’s order disband
ing the Georgia troops in the Cherokee coun
try, who have thus promptly nnd peacefully
effected the duties assigned to them.
The publication of this order in the Savan
nah Georgian is, we regret to observe, accom- !
panied by the suggestion of its correspondent, !
that many of the Indians will probably return j
to the State, after the removal and disbanding
of the Georgia troops. We confess, we have
little apprehension upon this score, and are
still willing to rely upon the prudence and
discretion which have thus far marked the
conduct of the Executive, and the officers su- 1
perintending the removal. It cannot be, that j
with their means, of perfect information upon 1
all points relating to the removal, the troops 1
would he permitted to disband, while the least
probability remained of their further usefulness.

ORDERS, NO. 4.
The Georgia volunteers, having performed j
w ith promptitude, energy and humanity, the
duties assigned to them, in the Cherokee conn-'
try. will be honorably discharged from the
service of the United States, by the Major
Gen. Scott. If any Indians, have eluded their
vigilance, they are but a few stragglers, w hom
necessity will compel to follow their tribe to
the west, or surrender, or perish. To the high
praise bestowed by Major Gen. Scott on the*
Georgia troops, the Brigadier General Coin- j
manding them, has the pleasure to add his '
commendation, and in bidding them farewell,
they have his best wishes, for a safe and hap
py return to their respective bodies.

manding Middle Military District, G. M.
THOMAS BOUIIKH,
Capt. and Aid-uc-Camp.
HON. LOAM Ml BALDWIN.
We regret to he obliged to announce this
week the death of this distinguished Engineer,
who died at Charlestown, Mass, on the 550t!i
lilt, of paralysis. He may be considered as
the father of his profession on this side of the
Atlantic. lie graduated at Harvard Univer
sity in 1800, and in a few years proceeded to
Europe to accomplish himself as a Civil En
gineer—a profession al that time unknown in
this country. He has long been in the em
ploy of the Government, and the magnificent
Dry Docks of the Charlestown and Gosport
Navy Yards, will long remain enduring mon
uments of his professional ability. Among
. other works, to which he devoted the leisure
■ of his public employments, should be number
ed the Brunswick and Alatainaha Canal at this
place, which work lie recommended and lo
cated, and of the importance of which he en
tertained the most sanguine confidence. Ilis
able and luminous reports upon this, and upon
1 many other public works are well know n, and
i are held in deserved estimation. In private
life the cheerfulness and companionable qual
ities of* Mr. Bald win wore warmly approbated
by numerous friends, who are thus suddenly
I called upon to mourn his loss, while congratu
lating themselves upon his restoration from a
long illness to renewed health.
RESUMPTION OF SPECIE PAYMENTS.
We observe that the tide of the resumption
is gradually rolling Southward. Since the
resumption in May last of the Banks in tho
New England States, and in New York, the
exchanges have a much more healthy charac
ter, and business, though not much extended,
has somewhat revived, and confidence begins
to be restored. We may now anticipate the
like good effects in Pennsylvania, from tjie ap
proaching resumption in that State. On the
evening- of tjie sth insf., aa we observe from
the correspondence of the Baltimore Ameri
can, tho General Committee of the Banks of
Philadelphia City and County, recommended
the Ist ot August, as the dale for a general
| resumption for the Banks of that section, —a
recommendation which will doubtless bq com
plied with.
PENNSYLVANIA CANAL,
V\ e regret to observe that the first accounts
of the injury, occasioned by a sudden freshet,
to thirty miles of the Juniata Canal, were not
much exaggerated. It is now stated, that
with the utmost efforts, it cannot be restored in
i less than three months, at an expense of about
$400,000.
The immense importance of this communi
cation between the East and the West, and
the derangement of business which will be,
caused by its interruption, may be understood
from the fact the transportation over it amounts
to two thousand tons, or is equivalent to two <
large ship loads each day, and that its receipts i
for the past season, rival those of the Erie 1
Canal. Such examples of the immense de- i
niarid for transportation between the Atlantic
and the West should excite us to
lines of Railroad communication to the West,
which would be beyond the reach either of
floods or frosts.
DOHOY CELEBRATION.
We have just received an account of a most
spirited fourth of July celebration at Doboy
Mills. We regret that the late hour at which
it is received and its length forbids its inser- 1
tion. \\ e can only respond to the sentiment
of one of the toasts, —“ The Doboy Establish
ment. 3lay it always prosper.”
ACADEMY AT ST. MARYS.
We have not, from any section of the coun
try, received intelligence of any celebration
of the 4thof July so gratifying, as that con-!
tained in the following letter from St. Marys.
It is indeed a worthy commemoration of the ,
Independence of our country,* to celebrate its ‘
birth-day by such energetic measures for se
curing the education and intelligence, and by
consequent, the liberty and Independence,
of our children. If all the communities in
our country had been on this glorious anniver
sary thus worthily occupied, what blessed con
sequences to the prosperity of the country
might we ret expect!
In the doings of the late Convention at Au
gusta, beside the recommendation of the es
tablishment and continuation of great public
works, ar,;l of providing for the commercial ed-!
ucation of our youth, the importance of the :
establishment of well endowed schools and
academies might well have been suggested, j
We are g/ad to observe that they are alive to i
the importance of multiplying such institu- j
tions in the pleasant and healthy City of St. 1
Marys. It may bo regarded as a public bene-;
tit that another classical Academy should be
established at that place, where parents can ;
entrust their children with so little anxiety ;
for their health. .
(From the Savannah Georgian ]
St. Marys, 7th July, 1858. j
Mr. Editor:— On the 4th inst, the citizens
of St. Marys convened at 11 o’clock, A. M.
in the Presbyterian Church, tor the purpose j
of devidng mentis to erect a suitable Acade
my in said town.
Gen. Clinch was called to the Chair, and ex
plained the object of the meeting, in a hand
some and impressive address; after which, the
citizens present, stepped forward, and sub
scribed about $4,000, This is not enough, as ,
it will inquire about SIO,OOO to erect a proper j
building and furnish the necessary apparatus.;
However, it is well know n that other proini-!
lie lit citizens of Camden county will subscribe !
liberally to such an institution; besides, it is ■
understood that the corporation of St. Marys
will not only present the institution with an
eligible site but subscribe 500 dollars.
The meeting have sent on subscription lists
to Mr. Robert Stafford of Cumberland Island,
Mr. Alexander Atkinson of Little Satilla Neck,
Mr. Jno. Bailey of Jefferson, Mr. Geo. W. I
Thomas of Sitilla River, Col. B. Hopkins ofj
ditto, Mr. Edmund Atkinson of the northern
section of Camden, Dr. Barnard of the west
ern section of Camden, and Mr. Robert Har
rison of Amelia Island, East Florida —nnd it
is hoped, these intelligent gentlemen will ex
ert themselves in such'a laudable undertakin ',!
and that at the next meeting which is to take ,
place in the town of Jefferson on the
next, that the requisite means will
he obtained to carry their project into effect.
As respects health and pjeasantness, St.
Marvs is almost unrivalled ou the southern
sea coast, and the Academy will be built on
airy, high, dry, sandy and gravelly soil, where
the atmosphere will be as pure as the deserts
of Arabia. Such an institution has been long, i
wanting in this community, and that excellent
gentleman, the Rev. Mr. Baird, of Waynes-,
ville, Wayne county, has furnished a beauti
; lul diagram of a building, “where the male
and female departments are to be entirely dis
tinct, and where eacli Preceptor is to have his
! separate room, with his own class and his own
j entire management; all to be under the super
( vision of the Principal, who will occupy tiie
j largest room, where the pupils will all first en
i ter, and hang up their hats, cloaks, umbrellas,
! &c., and where examinations will be held,
i morning prayers attended to, clasacs called
j out and heard by the Principal, scientific lec
tures delivered, and experiments made, with
| out interfering with any other teacher or reci
| tation.” The building to be plain but neat.
| Will an)' person attempt to deny the great util
ity of such an institution? Will intelligent
men attempt to £ count up a few dollars and
cents, and make it an offset against such a
valuable enterprise; if he will, he ought to
'live in a country where such is the tasluon
and where nature has done every thing and
art nothing; for example, Mexico, w hich is
naturally the finest country on the face ot the
Globe; but, where men are so indolent anil ig
: norant, that at no distant day, a few liberal and
! enterprising men, will make a conquest of that
stirs region and reduce the natives to servility.
When the people of the South shall shake
off fheir lethargy, and connect important sec
tions of country by Had Roads and Canals —
when jho merchants-of the South will make
our direct importations from all parts of the
world equal our exportations—when every cit
i tizen or the South will look at his personal af
fairs, and encourage domestic enterprise —
when lie will uao all his available means to
enlighten his offspring, and thereby place him
in a proud attitude beside the iutellig r n f men
iof the world; then, and not till then, will we
become independent of the world and be a
prosperous and happy people.
j [From the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel.]
I I feel it to be a duty which I owe to my fel
low citizens of Augusta, to lay before them
j the circumstances of the buee attempt which
was made to take my life on Saturday tnorn
! ing last, at the Depot of the South Carolina
Rail Road, in Hamburg. On my going into
the door of the Ticket office, I was met in a
very calm and peaceable* manner by Robert
Glover, whose desperate character is well
known in Augusta, and asked if my name was
Jones—to which I replied in tiie affirmative.
He then said ho wished lo say a word or two
to me, and pulling out a number of the Chron
icle and Sentinel of Friday morning' last, and
pointing to the editorial article in which his
conduct in assaulting nnd biting off the nose
ot one of the city officers, was spoken of in
pretty strong terms, asked me if I was the au
thor of it. I told him 1 was. He then hand
ed me a written paper, which lie requested me
to read. It purported to be a retraction, to be
signed by me, of all, or pretty much all of!
" hat was contained in the article in the Chron
icle. I did not read it all, but enough to see j
that it was such a paper ns I could not sign,
most especially ns it was evident from all the
circumstances, that it was attempted to be ex-1
torted from me. Without saying a word, I
turned and walked up to the ticket box, with
the paper still in my hand, and remarked to
Mr. Bishop of Augusta, that a difficulty was |
about to ensue between Glover and myself,
aii J 1 wished him to observe what passed. I
then folded up the paper, and turned to Glover
who had followed me up to the ticket box, and
said, shall not sign it.' ‘Then by Cod, Sir,'
replied he, yon or me, one falls," and commenc
ed to get out his pistols.
1 instantly drew out a small pocket pistol, and
was in the act of cocking it which he perceiv
ed, and seeing that I should bo ready to fire
first, he turned quickly round one or two of the
bystanders so a3 to place them between him
and myself, and ran off twenty or thirty feet I
towards the other end of the room, drew cut!
a couple of large bosom pistols, turned and
loavellcd one of them ia the direction of
my position. At this distance, lie was beyond
the reach of my small pistol, with the least
degree of certainty fro.'.i an unpracticed hand, I
and yet suilicienly near to make an almost j
certain shot with his own. I resolved not to j
fire at. the distance, and when the crowd parted |
to either side of the narrow room, I stepped I
also to one side, which lofVnie in such a posi-1
tion that ho could not fire without as great
danger of killing someone else as mvsolf.!
At this moment, as lie was hesitating to fire, a J
gentleman connected with the Hail ltoad step- j
ped up and caught hold of him; several others j
immediately inteil'ered, to prevent any firing, ■
and my; friends pressed me into the"car, the
door of uhich opened at the door of the ticket j
room, so as to step from one to the other.— j
Glover then left the Depot and went off' to j
Hamburg, Iris hiding place from the reach ofj
the Georgia 1 iws.
