REMOVAL OF THE CHEROKEES.
We regret to hear reports of difficulties
having arisen to interrupt the progress of the
Cherokee removal. It is stated that the great
majority of the nation, who are in favor of the
removal, and opposed to the views of Ross and
his faction, have become disgusted with the
reported negotiation, by which the removal was
committed, by the General Government, to the
charge of Ross.
The Western Georgian thus announces the
reports of the dissatisfaction of the Indians,
and the return of a portion of them:
“In a former number of our paper we notic
ed the excitement which existed among the
Gherokees in relation to their removal by
Ross; the greater number of whom had de
clared a decided preference to be removed by
the Government This excitement had not
abated, but rather increased, and will, it is
thought have a tendency greatly to embarrass
and retard their removal. Unless a reconcilia
tion is brought about between the two parties
and that speedily, another suspension will en
sue, as we presume the agents of the Govern
ment would not consent to their departure un
der existing circumstances, even if they were
willing to leave; which is not the case, there
being a goodly number of respectable men
amoug them, determined not to emigrate un
der present arrangements. Repeatedly dis
appointed in their expectations, the common
Indians have lost all confidence in Ross, and
will no longer tamely submit to his imposi
tions, or willingly trust their families to his pro
tection.”
“Since writing the above, we learn that some
six hundred had left the encampment, and
were making their way back to North Carolina,
determined not to emigrate under Ross’ agen
cy.”
The Cassville Pioneer afco publishes the
same report as follows:
“By a gentlemen just from the Agency, we
learn, that about 12C0 Cherokces have left
that place, and taken to the woods. These
Indians, we understand, are of the Ridge or
treaty party, and consequently, are not in favor
of being removed by Ross.”
There is great reason to suspect the cor
rectness of the above statements, and that
they may have been reported, or at least
much exaggerated, for the sake of political ef
fect. It is now four days since they were re
ceived, and no official accounts appear to con
firm them. It is hardly possible that Gen.
Scott would have completed the negotiation in
question with Ross, without being fully in
formed of its probable effect upon the disposi
tion of the Indians to emigrate, and that he
should, by making such arrangements, have
endangered the successful event of his mis
sion, at the the very moment at which all its
objects seemed to be successfully accomplish
ed. We anxiously await further intelligence
from the Tennessee river, and in the mean
time are inclined to discredit the above reports
as being founded upon insufficient authority.
MR. CALIIOUN.
The Greenville Mountaineer gives a long |
and eloquent account of a festival at tiie San- j
dy Spring, to this distinguished statesman, |
which was attended by about fifteen hundred j
of his friends. Os course Mr. C. was enabled j
to prove the perfect consistency of his present j
political opinions with all the var:et«»f doc-'
trines that he has formerly entertained. This
lie did to the utmost satisfaction of his audi
ence, who at his dictation, shouted “Sub Treas
ury,” with the same unanimity, with which, at
the call of himself and Mr. McDuffie, they
supported the U. S. Bank ten years since.
“The divorce of Bank and State,” is now, it j
seems, to be relied upon as the popular watch
word. Like all others that have been adopted
by the Van Buren party, it is assumed merely
to catch popularity, and to the initiated in
power, bears a meaning the reverse of that ob- j
vious upon its face. As “ Retrenchment ” has J
been from experience found to signify an in-1
crease in Government expenditure from thir-(
teen to forty millions, —as 'The Better Curren- ,
cy,’ and ‘Hard Money' have been, in the ful- j
ness of time, defined the stoppage of specie ,
payments, and the issue of treasury notes,—so |
this pretended “Divorce of Bank and State,”
jf permitted, will prove nothing more than the
establishment of the Government, as a Great
Banking Institution. Instead of a “Divorce,”
the Van Buren party contemplate a union
more intimate than that of marriage, and a
consolidation of the Banking Power in their
own hands, that will secure them the control
of the business and prosperity of the whole
country.
The U. S. Bank was denounced as a Mon
ger, and crushed because it was a Money
Power, and might by possibility corrupt and
interfere with the administration of the Gov
ernment. And this jealousy of a Money Pow
er was undoubtedly justifiable. What then
shall we think of the project of placing this
very influence of which we were formerly so
jealous,—this identical Money Power, at the
very head of the Government?
LIBERTY OF THE PRESS.
We received last week an invitation to give
I our views upon this subject,—a call with
, which we most readily comply, by referring
our readers to the whole of tJie very able and
j celebrated article upon the ‘Abuses of the
| Press,’ by Lord Brougham, which appeared in
i the Edinburgh Review for April last.
But we commend the following extract from j
j the same article, relating particularly to the
] newspaper press, to the especial attention of
| the individual, who was so anxious to draw
from us our views upon that subject,
j It is not true that we have rejoiced at his
. misfortunes, or have derived any advantage
from them. On the contrary, we pity and
compassionate the wilful and headstrong folly
by which he has brought these misfortunes upon |
his own head, and which have compelled his j
own party to turn against him and disown him: j
The most vile considerations of sordid inter
est are in a yet more hateful form mingled
with the conduct of the slanderous press. In
fact, that great engine of public instruction,
and powerful ally of freedom, is prostituted to
uses, of which the unreflecting part of the com
munity are little aware. The universal publi
city which is its grand achievement, the power
which the periodical portion of it possesses of
making whatever is once printed in a single |
newspaper read in every village and hamlet!
throughout the whole empire, provided it be
only of a nature to excite any interest of what
ever description—can hardly exist, and not be
liable to one very grievous abuse. If there
lives any person of 'weak nerves and who would |
rather pay a sum of money than have his in
firmities exposed to this universal gaze, from
which no seclusion, no modesty, no humility of
pretensions, can withdraw for an instant those
whom the press marks for its prey; and if there
be some other persous aware of his weakness,
and base enough to make it his gain; the vil
lain is the unhappy man’s master, and may
have as much of his money as the necessity of
providing for his own subsistence can spare to
the use of the unprincipled extortioner. The
folly is extreme, but the dishonesty is not'in
considerable, of those who endeavour to palli
ate what no man dares defend, by describing
the office thus performed by the press as a kind
of police, and its tendency as preventive of
misconduct in private life. It greatly augments !
the number of private immoralities, and it pre-;
vents none. The things which men are most!
unwilling to have made food for the diseased
appetite of the public, are far more frequently j
mere weaknesses, or personal peculiarities,than !
crimes; vice is far more bold and reckless, and
difficult to cow by threats, than folly or infirmi
ty. Nor is the disposition to yield and to pay j
always occasioned by a person’s own weakness;
those of his near connections, their faults, but 1
almost as much their mental and bodily afllic- \
tions, all furnish the hold over delicate minds,!
feelings of pure affection, and even of manly |
sensibility, and minister t*o the machinations of j
the wretches whose offences are rife,whose sue- i
cess is prodigious, and whose security is almost I
assured. They thus by driving their trade of i
threats, amass large sums of money, and the !
very nature of their victims and the article
they prostitute themselves to deal in, gives
the law no terrors for them. The enforcement
of the law implies publicity, and it is by threat
ening publicity that the offence is perpetrated.
Sometimes a sum is extorted, sometimes an an
i nuity—not seldom, the payment of a trades
-1 man’s exorbitant demand, to avoid ‘exposure
in a Court of Justice ’ Os all this detestable
1 commerce the press, but especially the news
paper press, is the mainspring, without which
! not one of its operations could bo preferred to
i any extent whatever. The late Tail’d Dudley
hud a custom of saying that it had reduced '
assassination to a mere question of pru
dence.
ECLIPSE OF THE SUN ON THE EIGH
TEENTH INSTANT.
We call the attention of our readers to the
remarkable Eclipse of the Sun, which will
take place on the afternoon of Tuesday next-
A particular account of its course and dura
tion will he found on our second page. How
wonderful and exact is the Science, which
thus enables us to predict with perfect certain
ty of precision, so remarkable a phenomenon,
and the moment at which it will take place!
As the last of a remarkable series of eclips
es, and as the last of any importance that will
occur for sixteen years, consequently the last
that most of us will survive to witness, it is
worthy of the more particular observation.
THE SOUTHERN NEWS.
We hail with great pleasure the re-appear
ance of this valuable paper, published at
Washington, (Wilkes Cos.) Under its new
Editor, D. G. Cotting, Esq., it will prove a most
able auxiliary to the State Rights’ cause, and
we trust it may meet with the support, to
which its merits, and the increasing majority
of the Party which it advocates, entitle it.
In its politics, the News, like most of the
State Rights’ papers, and in accordance with
the views of a large majority of the party, is
opposed to the Sub-Treasury policy, but is not
at this time disposed to make it a test question.
To use its own language upon this point, to
which we most heartily subscribe:
“The News” will support those who sup
port the State Rights doctrines. It will not
seek for their opinions in relation to the financ
es, it will be a more convenient season to make
that a question, when the Government has
done experimenting with the currency, and
wc can know whether any revenues are left to
make a question about.
Silk Culture. This culture is attracting
great attention throughout the country. But
in no part of it can it be worthy of such seri
ous attention as at the South, —the natural re
gion of the Mulberry,—and the genial climate
of which is so conducive to the production
and health of the worm.
The Editors of the Columbus Sentinel
Herald, Messrs. B. A. Iverson and J.
B. Webb, have sold out that establishment
to J. P. 11. Campbell and John Lewis,
Esqrs. The politics of the paper remain
the same.

REMARKABLE GROWTH OF COTT< )N.
We have received the following authentic
ated statement of the growth of the Cotton
Plant, which we have been told by old Plant
ers is so wonderful, that they would not have
believed it, but from a personal knowledge of
the subscribers to the statement given below.
And yet we are informed that the field, from
which the stalk in question was taken, was of
such remarkable fertility, that many other
specimens of equal productiveness might have
been selected.
The undersigned certify that a stalk of Cot
ton was taken by them from the Swamp Field
at Waverley Plantation, on the evening of the j
4tli inst, and the forms and bolls from the said i
stalk being carefully cut off, were counted, |
when it appeared that there were eisrld hundred
andfifty-four forms and bolls. The runners !
and branches were then carefully examined, j
and it appeared that the said stalk had shed or j
dropped one hundred and eighty-seven forms I
and bolls previous to its being cut, making in
all one thousand and forty-one forms and bolls
that the same stalk of Cotton had borne.

SPRING TIDES IN 1838.
According to the American Almanac, there
are yet to be two periods of high tides tiie
present year—October 4th and November 2d ;
that of October is calculated as the highest of
the whole year.
It well for our friends exposed to
such influences, to be upon their guard.
The Fever in Charleston, still contin
ues. The papers do not agree upon the point
of its having übated. it is probably true, that
the number of cases and of deaths have some
what diminished, from the removal from the
city of all the unacclirnnted, who could obtain
the means of departure.
GENI HARRISON’S OPINIONS ON DU
ELLING.
We have Jong desired to present our rcad
e.*j with the opinions which Gen. Harrison lias
recently published in relation to the practice
of Duelling. But our columns have been so
much occupied with the news of the day, as
to have excluded this valuable paper, from
which wc now extract the following interest
ing passages. The sentiments of an officer
of the known bravery and gallantry of Gen.
Harrison, will, we trust, have due weight in
producing a healthy public opinion upon this
subject:
A short experience in the army convinced
me, also, that lighting a duel was not an un
doubted test of true courage. I had known j
of tluola, «n<l iloojMirttio Itoing |
fought by men who would not have been se- j
lected by officers who knew them, to dead a j
forlorn hope. On the contrary, I possessed i
the most positive testimony to prove that some j
of the bravest of men would not be engaged ,
in an affair of that kind under any circum- i
stances.
Conformably to my plan, as stated in the i
commencement of my letter, to give yon facts
rather than arguments, I present you with an- \
other reminiscence of my early military life.'
I introduce it not only to sustain my position, \
but from the respect I entertain for t! jo memo- j
ry of a gallant brother officer, long since called
to receive, in another world his reward for
having preferred “the praise of God to the
praise of men.” In the summer of the year
17! >3, Lieut. Drake, of the infantry of the 2d j
sub-legion, received a marked insult from an
other brother officer. Manifesting no disposi
tion to call him to an account, some of those
who wished him well, amongst whom I was
one, spoke to him on the subject, expressing!
our fears that his reputation as an officer would
greatly suffer, if he permitted such an insult \
to pass unnoticed. The answer ho gave me :
was that he cared not what opinion the offic
ers might form of him: he was determined to ;
pursue his own course. That course was so \
novel in tiie army, that it lost for him, as I had
supposed it would, the respect of nearly all
the officers. The ensuing summer gave Air.
Drake an opportunity of vindicating most tri
umphantly, his conduct and principles. He
| had been stationed in a small fortress which
had been erected by Gen. Wayne, during the
| winter, up an the spot which had been render
; ed remarkable, by the defeat, of St. Clair’s ar- i
; mv, three years before. The garrison con-!
' sisted of a single rifle company, and thirty lu
j fantry, and of the latter Drake was the imrnc
-1 diate commander. In the beginning of July,
i 17!>1, a detachment of the army, consisting of
J several hundred men, under the command of
Major McMahon, being encamped near the
fort, in which they had the previous day de
j |H>sited a quantity of provisions which they
i had escorted from the cantonment of the army
I at Greenville, were attacked, early in the morn
i ing, by upwards of three thousand Indians.
| Tiie troops made a gallant resistance; but bc
j ing turned on both flanks, and in danger of be
ing surrounded, they retreated to the open
1 ground around the fort. From this, too, they
j were soon dislodged by the overpowering
j force of the enemy; in the retreat manypvound
ed men were in danger of being left, which,
j being observed from the Fort, Capt. Gibson
: directed his own Lieutenant to take the iufati
| try (Drake’s particular command) and a por
j tion of the riflemen, and sally out to their re-
I lief To this Drake objected, and claimed tfie
right to command his own men, and, as senior
to the other lieutenant, his right to the whole
command. “O, very well, sir,” said the cap
tain, “if such is your wish, take it.” “It is my
wish, sir, to do my duty, and I will endeavor
to do it, now and all times,” was the modest
reply of Drake. He accordingly sallied out,
skilfully interposed his detachment between
the retreating troops and the enemy, opened
upon them a hot fire, arrested their advance,
and gave an opportunity to the wounded to ef
fect their escape; and to the broken and re
j treating companies of our troops to re-form
i a,, d again to face the enemy. Throughout the
I whole affair, Drake’s activity, skill, and ex
' extraordinary self-possession, were mo3t con
spicuous. The enemy of course observed it
las well as his friends. The numerous shots
directed at him, however, like the arrows of
. Teucer, aimed at the heart of Hector, were
! turned aside by providential interference, until
lie had accomplished all that he had been sent
to perform. He then received a ball through
his body and fell, a faithful corporal came to
his assistance, and w ith his aid he reached
I the fort; and those two were the last of the
retreating party that entered it, Drake making
it a point of honor that it should he so. Mr.
Drake was rendered unfit for duty for a long
time by his wound. He had not, indeed, re
covered from it in the summer of 171 M!, when
he was my guest, when in command at Fort
Washington, (Cincinnati,) on his w’ay, on fur
lough, to visit his native State, Connecticut
His friends, however, enjoyed his presence but
a short time. Having, as I understood, taken
the yellow fever in passing through Philadel
phia, he died a few days after he reached his
home.
I have yet another reminiscence, the relation
lof which may serve the cause you have so
| much at heart
j An officer of the army had so often and so
| unnecessarily wounded the feelings of anoth
j er of the same corps, the duties of which made
j their association indispensable, that ho con
j sidered himself bound to demand satisfaction
in the usual way. They met, and the injured
man fell, receiving a mortal wound, as it was
anticipated he would, from the superior skill of
his antagonist in the use of the weapon w hich
they used. Being possessed of a high grade
of talents and amiable character, he had the
sympathy of all the officers. With others, I
visited him after he had been removed to bis
quarters. He expressed a desire to see the
officer with whom he had fought, and I was
present at the interview, I wish I could de
scribe, as it merits, this interesting scene.
The circumstances attending it were so deeply
impressed on my mind that they can never be
effaced, as long as my memory holds its seat.
In the tent were soijie half dozen officers,
the friends of the dying man, (for, as I have
said, he had from his amiable qualities many
and warm ones,) exhibiting unequivocal evi
dences of their sorrow, Conspicuous above
the rest, and near the head of the rude couch,
was the manly form of the commandant of the
corps to which both of the duellists belonged,
(the beau ideal of chivalrous valor, and the
Chevalier do Bayard of the army,) endeavor
ing to stifle as best he could, the feeling which
agitated his bosom. At a little distance, in j
full view of the victim of his passions, sat the
insensible —: but I must restrain the in
dignation which I still feel. Ho was my bro
ther officer—we shared together the perils of
a difficult war—and in battle, I know lie done
his duty—and whatever might have been iiis
conduct to others, I never had personally any
reason to complain of hi:n. But there ho sat,
apparently at least, unaffected by the mischief
he had done, by burying in an untimely grave,
a man who had never injured him, whose arm
might be needed in the pending decisive bat
tle with the hitherto triumphant enemies of
his country, and whose intellect might at
some future time have been usefully employed
in its councils. The severe bodily pain which
the dying officer had for some time suffered,
had ceased, and that calm and case had sue-,
eroded, w hich is the unequivocal harbinger of j
approaching (loath, and which a Gracious
Providence lias provided for the mortally
wounded soldier, to enable him to uffiiu last
prayer for bis distant family, if bn ha3 one, o.
for the pardon of his own sins. Turning his
intelligent eye upon his late antagonist, he
j mildly said that “he had desired to see him,
! for the purpose of assuring him of his sincere
forgiveness—that lie wished him happiness in
this world—and that, as the means of secur
j ing it, lie recommended to him, with the sin
i cerity of a dying man, to endeavor to restrain
i tiie violence of his passions, the indulgence of
j which had deprived one of life, who had nev
! or injured him, in thought or deed.”

A just Retribution. 'We have received
the following slip, the same probably having
been sent to other editors:
Office of the OHrien (Geo.) Telegraph, 1
August 4, 1838. )
It is with mortified feelings that we have to
announce to our readers that we will discon
tinue the publication of the Darien Telegraph
for tbo present.
Our friends may be assured that it is no
slight cause that leads us to this course.
When we say, if we do not do so, our house
will be burned—our helpless, innocent chil
dren and beloved wife, murdered— and the
few gallant friends we have, sacrificed—and
that property would he destroyed in the city,
that titty years would not replace—we say the
truth. But enough, at present.
Those who are indebted to us will piease
make immediate payment to the persecuted ed
itor. C. MacArdeli..
The Public Ledger heads his notice of the j
above,‘Mysterious,’ we have headed it ‘Just j
retribution.’ We know something of this
MacArilcll, and although we arc heartily op
posed to Lynch Law, yet we think lie would
not receive more than his deserts should he
be kicked out of Darien. We know him to
be a low-lived follow—unworthy the station j
from which he has been ejected. It has been
the fellow’s practice to traduce the characters
of individuals in the most shameful manner,
without provocation, or any regard to the de
cencies of life. Blackguardism is his forte,
and he is now reaping the reward of his labors.
From Missouri. The St. Louis Bulletin
of the ‘i'id, states, that the Van Buren majority j
in the Legislature of Missouri, will be about i
20—that Harrison and Miller have been re-!
elected to Congress—but that some doubt
whether Benton will be re-elected to the Sen-1
ate of the United States. Gov. Boggs and
Mr. Atcheson are both spoken of.
[j'j’The Editor of tlm Darien Telegraph well
knows, that it was our intention to have taken
no part in his controversies, and that the pub
lication of an advertisement of the meeting of
the citizens of Darien, reflecting severely up
on the conduct of his press, and signed by the
most respectable names, as w ell of his own
party, as of those politically opposed to him,
was no such publication against him, as should
entitle him to a reply except in the same man
ner. But, being thus repeatedly urged to pub
lish that Editor's own statements and Mr. Spal
ding's Speech, we will say that \vc refuse to
make the publications requested, because,
whatever may be their merits as pieces of de
clamation, we do not consider them in any re
spect to be answers to the charges brought
against him,— fljecause they do not contain the
sentiments of any large number of his fellow
citizens, even of his own party,—and finally,
because we are not in fact, disposed to upheld
‘■the liberty of the press, as tiie Editor of the
Telegraph understands it Li Anv
I Ttt* Murder at thf. White Sulphur.
| It is our melancholy duty to record another
most horrible murder—perpetrated in this case
on one of our own citizens. Mr. Frederick
M. Pitman, of this town, was shot through the
body, while sitting at the dinner table, at the
house of Mr. Surber, near the White Sulphur
Springs, on Monday the 20th inst by a inan
named Richard C. Gwatkins. Mr. Pitman,
we understand, lingered until the following
i day, when he died. G watkins was immediate
ly taken into custody, and committed to the
Greenbrier Jail. From all we can learn of the
circumstances, thc.murder seems to have been
entirely unprovoked and causeless. It appears
that Gwatkins had taken offence at somethiug
which Mr. Pitman had said to him, and most
inopportunely sought an explanation at the
dinner table. As to what Mr. Pitman’s an
swer was, there may be some room for doubt.
It was understood by a gentleman present to
be pacific, but it must certainly have been tak
en otherwi.? by Gwatkins; for he discharged
his pistol instantly. We learn, however, that
Mr. Pitman stated on his death bed that he had
designed no insult to Gwatkins, and he was not j
aware of his being offended until he made the
demand for satisfaction at the table.
Mr. Pitman was a widower, and has left an |
infant daughter to mourn the loss of a kind j
and devoted father. llis parents, a sister,
and several brothers also reside here, whom
the event has plunged in the deepest distress.
The Lewisburg Enquirer states that Gwat
kins was formerly of Lynchburg. The exam
ining Court was to sit on his case this day.

it very doubtful whether we have not the num
