rtucs an
CHEEK AFFAIRS,
the present difficulties with the Creek Indi-
a , we understand, originated in the subject of
in Us in property sustained by the M‘In-
slies, at the time their Hoad Man was exe
rted by sentence of the Nation. At the re-
est of the Chiefs, Colonel Tutt, as special
„t was sent into tho Nation to estimate the
ss . which was to be liquidated out of the un
ity. This he appraised at about ten thou-
J dollars, and the Creek authorities ap-
ared satisfied with the decision. Through
.e intrigues of their Cherokee Scribes, Ridge
nd Vann, a law was however conjured up and
agreement signed, by which they made them
Ives liable to tho M‘Intosbes for twenty-six
twenty-seven thousand dollars; which the lat
r now claim. Having discovered the impo-
, the Chieftians reject its admission and
fuse to pay the amount: consequently the
loncy continues in tho .hands of Colonel
iowcU, tho Creek Agent.
To Washington City, they have written
aliing heavy charges against the General
overument, against Georgia, and against tho
gent. The finger of tho Cherokees may be
eea in this business. That crafty people,
onvinccd from the tone of the Georgia pa
ins, that as soon as tho the difficulties with
ic Creeks are settled, their own Nation will
B the next object, are anxious to keep alive
ic excitement among the Creeks to tho lat
st hour.
The Family of the M'lutoshcs, who have
lis claim upon the Creeks, consist of Roily,
rather of the lato General) Chilly, (a son)
id the General's two wives and three daugh-
rs.
The Creeks positively refuse any further
Iroj.ositions for tho balance of their land in
Georgia. These facts may be relied upon as
jubstautially correct.
Colonel Crowell is said to have set out for
^ugusta, and may, it is surmised, extend his
jarney to Washington City, before ho return.
The Council House of the Creek Nation

mkah, “falling water," a beautiful water-
fell of twenty feet, on Little Uchie, fourteen

fewest objections could bo raised:—More par
ticularly as it was understood ho had rendered
himself obnoxious to many of the Troupers,
and they were levelling their artillery against
him. The Clarkitcs wero not disppsod to see
an individual whom they considered honest and
upright, persecuted merely for his independence
and liberality—mnd they supported and elected
Mr. Cumming accdrdiugly, though they knew
he did not hold to all their tenets. Tho sup
porters of this gentleman havo not been deceiv
ed. They knew, that if he was in favor of
State rights, ho was also in favor of tho union of
tho States;, and that if ho had supported Troup,
he was one of those who did it conscientiously,
and not with a view of stirring up dissentions
in the land. We havo never denied, that tlier,e
are many honest men among tho Troupers,
whose patriotism and uprightness of intention
are creditable to them. Of this sort we bc-
li'-ved Mr. Cumming. Wo ropcat, therefore,
what we before said, that ho was tho anti-
Troup candidate: was supported os such by one
party; and opposed as such by the other. And
the victory, if it is worth “triumphing” about
at ail can only be claimed by those who achiev
ed it.
COMMUNICATED.
To 'the Intendant and Committioncrt of Macon;
Gentlemen—Though but little courtesy
was to be expected from some of you individu
ally, yet that assumption of dignity, which ap
pears to bo a concoraitanco With bodies corpo
rate, was considered a guarantee that, as civil
dignitaries, you would collectively refrain from
scurrilous expressions, and promptly meet and
publicly explain any of your acts which might
seem to imply imprudence or mystery. Your
wisdom however having dictated differently, I
shall not contest the indefeisibility of your ti
tle to that respect which belongs virtually to
the elegance of die.ion which sometime] graces
the cook of a keel-boat; but shall direct my
attention to your refusal to do in public what
you profess a readiness to grant in private.
On personal application, you will, if your
language is to bo literally understood, conde
scend to make such as desiro it “acquainted
with tho erection of a magazine” and “the ex'
pease thereby incurred." Wero the citizens
inclined, in this respect, to extend fruition to
your hopos, thoy must either choose the time
at which you sit in the despatch of public bust-
vor.” It is for you, gcutlcmen, to remove the
impression.
In-conclusion, I must sincerely express the
hope that, for tho public benefit, “turbulent
spirits” may bo less esteemed, and that in as
semblies modesty may at times bo spared n
blush by tho restriction of "vulgar imagina
tions" to congenial circles.
OLD RIFLE.
Among the scandalous reports circulated by
tho enemies of Col Campbell, to subserve their
party purposes, is one,that ho has applied to gov
ernor Troup, for the appointmeut of Judge, to
fill tho vacancy ocasioned by the death of Judge
Dooly. Such conduct needs no comment, and
if taken in consideration with the justice and
respectability of tho cause it is intended to su-
port, cannot fail to do it moro injury than all
the arguments or opposition of his opponents.
—Augusta Chronicle.
The Cherokees.—We have been informed,
on the authority of a gentlemen recently from
St. Clair county, that on the 19th of May a
general election was held in tho Cherokee na
tion, for delegates to a convention to, assem
ble at Newtown on the 4th day of July next,
for the purpose of forming a written CoDstiUi-
tion. The election was conducted viva voce.
The rapid, march to civilization among that
popple surpasses the tales of fiction. For years,
they were emphatically barbarians, without
kowledgeor improvement: now, they havo writ
ten laws, a representative government,ajudiciary
executive officers, artisans, agriculturists, mer
chants, schools aud churches. So much for the
iiolicy recommended by Hcnty and approved
ay Crawford.
Query—If they were to proceed one step fur
ther, and divide their lands into individual pro
perty, what would be the prospect of extinguish
ing their title! Could they be incorporated into
the government with tho rights of citizenship!
—Montgomery (Alabama) Journal.
Extract to the editors of the Pittsburgh Gazette, dated
Long Reach, Ohio River, May 15, 1827.
“The government of New Harmony, on tho
Wabash, has changed from tho social system of
Mr. Owen, to one more congenial with tho in
stitutions of our country. He has sold a part,
say one half, to Mr. M'Clare, of Philadelphia;
the other part, consisting of his mills, shops,
tavern stand, &c. is leased to individuals, on
terms in some cases approaching to the old sys
tem, but generally leaving tho lessegs to pursue
whatever course they may think proper, as to
the management of themselves and families.—
Numbers have left the place in disgust. A body
of them now reside at NevillevilfO on the Ohio,

I ■ " erc about. No strictly Clark man hay
case, the objects of your official deliberation
would present an effectual hindrance to a satis-
factoty explication; and, in iho latter instance,
the uncertainty of meeting you at times conve
nient to tho inquirer would' often produce dis
appointment and delay, while tho peculiar
terms in which each member of the Board would
expound the transaction, must give rise to mis
conception, aud consequently to conflicting re
ports, . _/.*>.*
You yourselves knew, gentlemen, the futili
ty of such an exposition; and your motive in
propounding it, bears the single and solitary
feature of a desiro to disguiso an act without
precedent and without justice. You know—
and I invitcyou to deny—that, at the time tit
which your publication appeared, the minutes
of tho Corporation contained no succinct de
tail of tho erection, and that, even ns late as
the 15th iustant, t|ic “oxpenses incurred" wore
not to bo found entered on yotir books. And
yet you call upon tho community to wait upon
you, at an indefinite time and uncertain place,
to recoive your own word, unsupported by col-
relative evidence, as a corapletB vindication of
your own conduct! Are not such appearances
strongly fraught with distrust!—and do they not
derivo additional forco from another circum
stance—which you are again invited to contra
dict—that a member of your Board has une
quivocally and unconditionally declared his
entire ignorance of tho business!
No virtual excusofor a mode of communica
tion so vague and unusual,as that which you pro
pose, can exist. If from causes oither habitu
al or accidental you are disqualified from writ
ing, your Clerk, gentlemen, combines the will
with the ability to act your proxy; and tho o-
peration of printing would draw but a few cents
in addition from the Town Treasury. " Besides
perspicuity and convenience, tho common mode
of public communication, ovincing a readiness
to encounter scrutiny, would at least imply pu
rity qf intention; and, wero an error discover
ed in Iho process, thopeoplo, your master, gen
tlemen, would bo apt .to take the intention for
the deed, nnd pardon tho oversight.
But no equivoque, no method of conveyance,
can fritter away the gross negligence—to givo
it tho mildest name—of not publishing propo
sals and giving- tho contract to the lowest bid
der. ' The- usage of every State in tho Union
requires such a publication, the interest of the
country ronders it imperious, and it is demand
ed by justice to the mechanics, who, with tho
farmers, constitute tho nerves, blued, muclcs
sinews, and bones of the body politic, our sup
port in pcaco and defence in war; Why then
was it dispensed with on the present occasion!
You havo neither the candor nor spirit to an
swer. Does either the skill or fidelity, tho
antiquity or poverty, of tho Architect entitle
him to the exclusive patronage of the Corpora
tion! You daro not, it is imagined, venture to
assort that your choice was determined by per
sonal friendship.—Still nothing of a political
naturo mingles rvith vour municipal delibera
tion!—most impartial ministers of tho public
trust!—and to unity, I am cortain, it would
afford unfeigned pleasure to find tho profession
verified by the deed. But tho tout ensemble
of the business seems to have a mcaniQg very
different from that which you would be willin
to acknowledge: people view it as equival
to an admonition io every independently spi
rited mechanic whether Trouper or Clarkite—

No. 3, on the 31st ultimo, to the great gratifica
tion of many present. From this we may date
the commencement of canal navigation in the
State of Georgia.
The committee ussuro the Stockholders that
a very small portion of tho revenue of the O-
gecchio Canal will be requisite to keep the
banks in perfect repairs; because the quantity
of Ahtmine in tho , soil is so great and the clay
so stiff and compact, that almost through the
whole line, pick axes have been found nocessa-
ry to loosen tho earth as tho excavation pro*
is not adapted to this country. From all that I
can gather he has beeu well plucked on every
hand."

That on Thursday, tho 31st ultimo, they pro
ceeded upon the task allotted to them mid from
memoranda taken >:t tho time and information
dcrived'froni the Engineer, they present tho fol
lowing as the result of their iuvesiigations.
The - Savannah Tide Lock is in a stato of
great forwardness, and will be completed about
the 20ih inst.
" Tne Savannah Tido Level contains in ex
tent 80- chains 74 of which are excavated.—
This distance embraces two Bridges, both of
which.aro completed.
Lock No. 2, has part of its foundation laid,
and timber framed: and it is said will be co m
pleted in all July.
From the Savannah Tide Level, to Camp
Gill tho distance is 530 chains; and hero there
are 20 chains excavated; of tho 7 bridges and
6 culverts included in this section, three of tho
former and two. of tho latter nre completed,
und the' timber ready for most of the others.
Tho Timber and Pit are prepared for Lock
No. 3.
The section embraced botweon Camp Gill
and the Little Ogocchio, contains an extent of
300 chains; 15G of which are excavated. Of
tho 3 culverts which aro to bo framed in this
portion of the Canal one is completed^, aud tho
timber prepared for the other two. 1 The dam
to be thrown acros the Littlo Ogcechio will bo
26 chains in length, 24 of which aro already
finished. Tho sluice to be erected for tho pur
pose of letting off any superabundance of wa
ter is in a state of great for wardness.
From tho Littlo Ogeechio tothe Lock No. 3
on tho other sido of the Ojjoechie the distance
embraces 15$ chains—and the amount of ex
cavation 122 chains.
Lock No. 3 is completed.
In the section between Locks No. 3 and 2,
30 out of 74 chains have been excavated—and
the whole grubbing nearly done-
- Lock No. 2 has mdst of its timber hewn and
prepared for immediate use.
The Ogeechio Tide Lovcl embraces 27
chains, well grubbed ahd ready for excavation.
Tho forco dt prosent employed amounts to
230 men; hut 50 of whom ere whites.
It thus appears that, by actual inoamroment
ono half of tho canal is completed. The whole
lino embracing 1290 chains, 644. of which e-
qual to eight miles und four chains are hand
somely excavated.
But -if wo take into consideration' tut tho
heaviest obstacles have been ovcrcomo, und the
labor to bo bestowed upon the unfinished moi-
The committee cannot leavo this interesting
subject without referring to tho advantages to he
derived from the carlv completion of tho work.
Thoy believe that site opinion prevalent tlu-t
the stock would not yield a handsome interest
upon tho principal invested, has been propugat-
ted by individuals who arc unacquainted with
(he population and the uaturc of the soil of our
middle counties, as ;vdl ns tho quantity of pro
duce which, (if we are warranted in the asser
tion that self interest is the ruling,passion) must
and will pass through tho Ogeechie Cauul.—
They confidently expect that thirty odd thou
sand bales of cotton will bo brought through
this channel. Of the. quantity of lumber and
the value of the return cargoes they will not
venture to make an estimate. Independent
of theso and other commodities, they think,
that the period is not distant, when'flour will
becomo an article of exportation. It is a prin
ciple of agricultural science that lime is essen
tial to the production of wheat, and-there being
a large extent of Lime Stone Country border
ing upon the waters connected with the Canal,
and which is at present comparatively neglect
ed, the planter will naturally turn his attentiou
to the cultivation of that articlo which will yield
him' the largest income; without considering
the balkiness of bis crop, a barrier to his send
ing it to market,
In conclusion it is almost impossible to de
signate tho many benefits which will folloAV in
the train of this first step towards tho internal
improvement of our State..
