It was effected by the fol lowing stratagem, which ho said was suggested to him by a whig lady, whoso name it was al ways a subject of regret to him that he did not know.

Ho was one of C ew patriots and heroes, in the upper part fSouth Carolina, who fearlessly assumed the rtsnonsibility of Independence. Unlike, many bo cautiously awaited the progress of events, Ufflio enlisted in the cause of Independence ac when it was successful; he was one of . ji rst who espoused it, and throughout all J vicissitudes and reverses of the eventful latest that was waged for its maintenance, b never faultered or deserted the cause. . He irsi under all circumstances, the same con- isient patriot and intrepid hero. In prospert- , he rejoiced, and “ho was not faint in the Jur of adversity.” He was a man of excellent judgement, and L 0 ;e decision, energy, and origiomtL cast of liuracier fitted him well for the times in which t lived. Naturally brave and enterprising, b was found of the adventures of a newly set- ed country, and the more glorious hazards of wnurable war. Hence few had a higher cha ncier among his co.eniporaries as a partisan iccr. Few could oncounter danger with ire coolness, or bear the hardships of a catn- igu with more fortitude. A daring mtrepi- y was the strongest trait in his character, d perhaps, as an officer, an excess of it was (is greatest fault.

Capt. Ryan was soon called oil, after his Settlement in South Carolina, to take a part in fcwnrs against the Indians.. In 1768, he re- ceived a commission of Lioutenant, and served the Cherokee war in that capacity. He a distinguished in that war, for his gallantry, hood conduct anil personal prowess. lie al- pays volunteered in the most hazardous enter- pnscs, and was frequently engaged in perso- hi combats with the Indians. Sp distinguish ed was lie, for his athletic streugth and actlviTy, Cthat he migiit be called the Ajax of the oxpodi- on. When the war of the Revolution com* weed he did not hesitate tvhichsideto take. jHe repaired to the standard'of Independence, Rom which no temptation could seduce, or •ianjer drive him, in any of the revorsos_of the, Outlet. So distinguished tyas lie, for his for*' Her services, that ho was immediately nppoint- |c! Cap’ain, which commissiou lie boro dll tho ■close of tho war. In the' first part of the war- lie served under Col. Lo Roy llatnmoml; anil »is engaged in many small but bloody skirmish* ts,which are only, known in'tradition. In the b wr part of the year 1780, or the first of 1781, |*li«i South Carolina was, considered a con- Iqucrct] province, the British authorities pub- |ii>!icd a procluination, offering protection to I'l'isc wlio would accept it and become British | subjects. Capt. Ryan and some of the post Istaundi wliigs in 96. district, mistaking thq true Ic'nracter of the proclamation, went (as hd stat- H to the writer of this notice,) to what was |then called tho Congareos,'to demand their I paroles; but to thoir disappointment this was ■refused; and shortly afterwards tljdy werb'ar- I ai, d confined in 96 prison, then - within a | British garrison. From this place, Capt. Ry- Ip* Capr.

Iti this place their treatment'was disgraceful to the English character. An in- ci lont occurred during their confinement that !t r ongly illustrates tho spirit and character of S* Patriots of that day. Tho British officers, w the purposo of punishing delinquents and I ^ P n,s , were in tho habits of sending them to ■« provost and confining tiiera with the whig | P'Uonijrs. This made tno prison intolerable, ot only by crowding it, but by placing in cou- ’ cl 'mb gentlemen, tho meanest add most in- "°u« wretches of the royal tinny. ' O no day, k ' n 't' e numbors were nearly -equals it was r 0 posed by onoofthe American prisoners,that 'Hey wore not allowed to take a part in the ur m tho open field, that they sliould carry it ( j :IMlnst those in tho prison.

While in. town, by permission from the prison ship, the Captain met some British soldiers in the street, whose insolence provoked him into an angry controversy with them* When the soldiers had passed, u lady, BY MYRON BARTLET. Jj^^fJd' inged, and others made thoir es ‘lie Captain was one of those who who had heard all that occurred, asked the Captain to come to her door. She soon learn ed his history; and being a true whig herself, she said, sho thought she could give him some advice, by which he could make his escape.— It was this: “Sho told him to go to a sentinel on tho lines, and when he asked who he was, to say that he was a rebel deserter, who had boon badly treated, and who being admitted within the linos, was in searcli of a British offi cer who would enlist .him in the king’s service; after a careless conversation, to go off, as tho* in search of an officer; to do so two or three times, and the sentinel’s suspicion would bo lulled.” Accordingly he went to the sentinel three times, always complaining of his ill treat ment in the rebel array, j At last, finding the sentinel perfectly satisfied, and in fact mani festing a disposition to. assist him, he observed that ho knew an officer from reputation, at Monk’s Corner, with whom he would like to enlist; and wishing him a good day, passod confidently oil. Tho Captain howevor, never stopped at Monk’s Corner, but immediately took Inscourso home. On-his way he cdlod on his friend and school mate CoL Thomas Taylor, to whom ho was much attached to the end of his life.— Tire Colonel with his characteristic kindness gave him a fine filly to assist him home, as (he Colonel lias often since said, when he had tint one for himself, having been plundered of near ly all his property. The couhtry then being much infested with Tories, he look his course through the woods. While.passing through a deep wood near North Edisto, he unexpectedly met three men armed, who hailed him, and brought him to. He hud no hesitation that they were lories; and when asked who he was, assumed the well known tory name (in th/u part of tho country) of Ruihbn. One of the men, a tory, by the name of Holly, asked bim, “Which Rumbo? was it Jim?” The Captajn said “no,” but perhaps from the awkwardness, and hesitation which a soldier and gentleman would always manifest in attempting disguise, Holly suspected him: and upon examining his commission, which was found in his boot, dis closed his true - numo. Holly immediately cocked his gunj and observed “you are a d d rebel, and I -will shoot you;” and about tho time be was drawing his aim, the captain with an energy and force which a brave man can a- lune feel in rhe hour of danger, oljseryed-“Stop; I have pever dooe yon any barm, apd ns suro as you kill me'tlie vengeance of God will over take you before yon leave.the .spot where you now stand.” Holly feeling 'ho forco of the ap peal-, ami yielding to the cuntroul which a man of courago will always exercise over a mean man and a coward, said “Well l can't kill you; hut I will carry you where I know ydti will be kill ed." Ho vyas conducted o a cainp of lories, where he found an old mm who seemed to be in comrannd of it. Tho old man examined him with an eye of great particularity and sits picion, and after many inquiries ho ordored Holly to let him go. Holly insisted however in having him shot, and was only prevented from doiiig so by .tho old man; who ordered peremptorily that lie should fie lei go. Holly, and lii.s companions insisted upon going and showing tho Captain the way. This ivas in vain declined. When they had taken Hirh out of sight of the camp, and tlm control of tho old man, they took the .Captuiu’s fillv and stript him of . his coat, and boots nnd dismissed him with great indignity* .^ , \ /•'. 'V: It was not long before the captain , with bis sruull - company, which ho soon recruited, re turned to lie cainp.- He found no one .there hut an old wouian, tho wife of the'old m in who lias boon mon’ionod. Sho w is in groat distress, and begged that tho Captain would not injure her; ho said “no, it'is not my design to-ihjure you or your husband,-*! came uot for plunder or innocent.blood,” And upon ascertaining that she wns without provisions, ho killed a heef nnd had it' cut up and salted and left her, in pursuit of tho tory party. During tho scout, ns ho called it, hy camp up with the party, and after a short couflict, succeeded in taking some of them prisoners; among oliters lie recognis ed Holly, on whom he infiicicd the summary punishment too common .widi ull parties in those times, * ' ;* About this time, while part of .Lord Raw don’s array was retreating froni,96, through tho fork of the Edistoes, Captain Ryan, with his company of - about 50 nten, formed tho bold dosigu of cuttttig off, aud capturiugilio baggage waggons. H iving communicated his design to his men, lie addressed them hr his own peculiar way, which never failed to in spire them with courage and confidence to uii- dortnko any enterprise; lie ordered all but.a- bnut three or lburto advnnco to the attack.— VVhilo tho iqain party woro engaged, the ih.ee or four that remained bellied wore to indicate, by blowing tho bugle and making other mar tial signs, tho approach of a larger de aclunciu. In this way, ho succoodod in taking the w*g< gons, and supplying himself witli valuablo stores and ammunition, before a superior force trom the enemy came against his little party;* and it was rv«t until after a severe contest that he a- bundoned tho waggins. In tho latter part of tho year 1781, while advancing with his usual inipctuosi y, and per- h ips too much temerity, upon a par y of lories, that lay encamped near Orangeburg, ho wns dangerously wounded in his sliouldor by a mus ket ball, which he carried fo the grave. Not at all discouraged or discomfittcd, though una ble to proceed, he ordored, with groat presence of mind, his first Lieutenant, William Butler, to lead on the attack, and continue the pursuit. His wound becoming very painful, he request ed to be carried home, whore ho remained till the close of tho war. ' - While in this situation, however, ho was hot indifferent to his country; but continued to is sue orders and plan operations against the lo ries, with which the country was then infested. Tho control, which ho then and subsequently exercised, was rather yielded to him by tacit consent, than conferred by regular authority. At the close of the war, Captain Ryan retir ed to his plantation oil Horne’s Creek, whore, by industry, good management a ini'good econo my, he accumulated a large and valuable es tate, which he distributed by will among his collateral relations, having never had any chil dren. Captain Ryan sooms to have had very little ambition.'For office. In fact, being a man of. iroud spirit, and great sternness of character, action where he could assert his superiority, that he was most distinguished. He was an Open and fearless enemy, and a warm and con stant friend, ft may be truly said of him that he never deserted a friend, or refused to face an enemy. , GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. MESSAGE OP IHS EXCELLENCY GOVERNOR TROOP. DELIVER ED TO BOTH BRANCHES OF THE LEGISLATURE, Executirt Department, Georgia, , + . Mitlcdgtriuc, November G, 1827. Fellow-Citizens—In making known to you the events of tho passing^ voar, it is equal ly my duty to communicate those which give pain as those which afford pleasure, so that without concealment or suppression all may be embodied in the history of the times—our suc cessors will u>ko cuun»—l f«om them, amlahc experience of the past wifi be equally profita ble, whether it furnish examples of good to bp imitatod, or Of evil to be avoided. Before the close of the last session of the Legislature, hope was indulged that the controversy between tho Government of this State and that of the United States vyas happi ly tdrmiftkting; and so indeed to all appear ances it av.is—The surveys of the recently ac quired territory, so long resisted, had proceed ed with little or no interruption—the last of them were about to be completed—the - Indian irritation bad exhausted itself in a few demon strations of hostility and when calmness and tial, <haractep-iBut other.rights and interests than those of. Georgia were concerned. The doctrino assumed in justification of the menace involved the rights ot all tlm States—It asserts the broad power of the Executive of tho Gen- oral Government in any controversy between a State and the United States to decide the right apd wrong of that controversy promptly, absolutely and finally, without, appeal, and to enforce such decision by tho sword—a powr most awful, tremendous and unnatural, and not given' by the Constitution even to the Con gress.* In such a contest, Georgia could raako no sacrifices too dear, because she contended in a just and rlghteons cause, not for herself a- lono, but for all the States, whose honor, digni ty and indopeudenco.vwero alike at stake.— Happily for tho country, tho enforcement of tin’s measure has not been as yet attempted; whether, on consideration, it has boen yiolded to more deliberate suggestions and more pru dent counsels, or decided as wholly indofensi- bie, and therefore impracticablo, or reserved for some other and future occasion; is' not known-to mo, and can only be conjectured—It is reasonable, at least charitable, to conclude, that what in this respect ought to bo done, has been dnno, and that wisdom and moderation can find no amends for the calamities of a civil war, in tlie transfer from Georgia to the Indi ans of a comparatively worthless fraction of territory, which, but for tho principle involved, this Government would not deign to make a suliject of angry contention with that orthe United-Stales. ; - "*. /The .tountry of the Creek? falling within the chartered limits of -Georgia being acquired, it remains for yon to consider of tho measures / most expedient for the acquisition of that of the Cherokces within the same limits—On this subject my opinions have been freely and frankly, and repeatedly communicated—There is no reason to change them—you hold the tor- ritoty by the same tenure as you hold that on which yourselves and your ancestors liavo long fixed your hearths-and firesides—tho original charter of t)ie State. This tenure remains un changed by tho .Articles of Confederation, or by. the present Constitution; and without tho consent of the'people, is unchangeable but by tlie act of Gol—the tight of occupancy following the, right of soil and jurisdiction, you claim tho s uite right of occupancy now ns ever unlimit ed and unrestrained by tho confederation or the present constiQition; and, therefore, tiro free in times future as in times past, to enter upon that occupancy, consulting your rights, your convenience, and the dictates of humani ty only. -Your rights are undoubted—your convenient# is resolve ! by the various circutn* •Inncco in •yrhicK yovrumj at any 111110 fluU juur population and territory, and tlie wants.of youi* people, as resulting from tho relativo condition of both; and the obligations ^f humanity, al ways paramount to the claims of interest, are to ha sought in tlie consideration of what is due from a civilized to a savage community, nnd of tlie sum of human 'happiness, present and fu- ture, jvhich is involved in the estimate—What ever may be the controhng motives resulting from.other considerations, those of humanity oppose no . obstacle to the immediate occupa tion outlie country. The Cherokces are only asked to surrender now, and voluntarily, the country which bv thn force of moral circum- dian f«r his imaginary wrongs but a trilling con sideration in money, the Executive Govern ment at Washington seized the occasion as a fit one to denounce tho Executive of Georgia ns tho violator of tho faith of Treaties, anil the lawless Invader of Indian rights—o forbid tho prosecution of tho surveys, and 'o threaten the employment of military force to coerco obedi- ienco to its commands—a menace which, with out being unprecedented on tho part of that Government, was'yet so ill-timed and unex pected, that but ono reception and otto treat ment could bb given to it—The Documents herewith tiansmitted will disclo/o the maimer of that reception and treatment—'The Mes sage of tho President to Congress, coinmuni- cating this measure, left no doubt ns tp its mo tives nndiits objects. Tho couucils and peo ple of Goorgia were to bo subdued at all oVentS. in-o a recognition of the vnlidity of the. Instru ment called the New Treaty—by civil process, if civil process would answer—by' - military force, if_ it would net—indeed by all means ci vil or military as enjoined by a sttperadded o- bligation (to uso the language of the President,) oven higher than that of hum in authority—Ii could not bo seen why umfot* a government of laws tho civil remedy might not suffico, being, if not so prompt, at loast amplo and appropri- ate or why if lesorted to at all it should no: ho exclusively depended on? Tho alternative of a resort'to tho military un failure of,the ci vil remedy, .or tho resort to both concurrently for the redress of the same wrong is not tho theory; and-has not been liitheflo, the practice of this' government—whettover it-shall be be- como so, tbe.ro will ho no longor any. differ ence between. our own constitution of govern ratmt and that of the most arbitrary .and des potic." It war.imponjble to doubt therefore, from, the unconstitutional character of tho me nace, from itii unseasonablenoss and from tho ojipalhng consequences which must inevitably follow i-s execution that the temper which dictated it was hostile ,to Georgia, and bent on Iter humiliation or 'destruction. Tho councils of Georgia could pever recede, without the roust detruding humiliation, from the positions taken in support of tho Treaty of tho Indian Springs—it wns the professed object of tho menace to produce tint recession; anil it was obviously better for Georgia to run the hazard of beiag stricken from the rolls of the States, than by a passive submission to surrender, with important interests and essential rights, wltat was infinitely more important aud more essen- tranquility had succeeded, to excitement and stances they must very soon surrender, even u- clamor, and nothing remained to satisfy tno-In- gsjnst their will, not without consideration or mnst (ptivqlent, but in exchange for another, and in lill respects a better country, with a titlo in fee in the place of a precarious occupancy— ivilh generous soil and salubrious climate, pre senting a choico to* agriculture or the chase— insulated from tho whiles and protected by the power of the United States—All who opposo themselves to this movomcm are enemios of the Cherokces, .ignorant of their true interests, or indifferent to thoir.present and future welfare. It is pr.oper to inform you that the memori al »of the last Legislature on this subject, ad dressed to the v President, was forwarded in duo time, jvith an arcoropanying letter, to which no satisfactbry’a’nsivor has been given. Connected .with othor subjects of disagree ment with tho Government of tho United States, is th'qt^f tho dividing lino betwoou Flo rida. and this State, directed to be run and marked by soveral resolutions of the Logisla ‘ lure.. The concurrence of thn general govern ment being necessary to the perfection of this measure, it;was repeatedly invited, and event ually obtained. A highly respectable gentle man, and Laio Governor of Virginia, Thomas M. Randolph, having been appointed the Com missioner on tho part of the United States, and Thomas Spalding, tho Commissioner on tho part of Georgia, they proceeded in a spirit of harmony arid concert to the execution of thoir trust, nnd I am happy to inform you that, with out bringing their labors to'a termination nm.st desirable, they closed (hem with no interrup tion of that spirit. On tho contrary, with an improvement of it corresponding to tho intclli- gcnce,' patriotism and liberal sentiments which distinguished them. Tho (Jharter of Goorgia, tho Treaty of Peace of 1783, tho Confederation of 1778, the present Constitution, the Treaty of Spain Of 1795, tho Constitution of Georgia, all re cognise or guarantee tho head or source ef the St. Mary’s River ns tho true point of tho south ern' boundary of the State. Tho Commis sioner of tho U. States and the Commissioner of Spain appointed under tho Treaty of ’95 to run and mark the lino in terras of tho Articles of thaT Treaty, instead of discovering the head or source of the St. Mary’s, as thoy wero in structed to do, and for which they searched, es tablished a point different from, and discon nected’with that river: viz. apoint in tho Okn- finoka Swamp-one mile or two miles north of the mound cf Ellicott. It had been ascertain ed by rese i relies authorised to he.mado by eommissieueis appointed under the authority of this State iri the year 1818, that tho U, States and Spanish Commissioners* its agree ing to that point, wore wide of the true point —• that the head of tho stream pursued by Elli cott was not to he found as ho supposed, in tho Okafanoka Swamp two milos north of the mound of Ellicott, nnd it has been since ascertained that the head of that branch of the river is to be found to tho southward of both tho swamp animound. It was justifiable to take the mound as the true point, because so in substance, our own commissioners, believing that Ellicott in pursuing the north, did pursue the ra-iin branch of the St. Marys, had reported; and so tho Governor of this State, in tho year 1819, re lying on tlie correctness of thut report had in- firmed the Legislature. Our commissioner was accordingly instructed to agree with iho United States Commissioner in running tho lino from the mound of Ellicott to the junction of the Flint and Chattuhoochie riverj. It happened that tho U. States commissioner was not authorised to concur. On the contrary, an act of Congress which, departing from the* ordinary course, gave his instructions, in tho same section in which it authorised his appoint ment, virtually forbade it. Those instructions directed tho commissiuncr to run from tho' point established by Ellicott, two miles north of the mound, and wore of course directly op posed to tho Treaty of 1795, which prescribed tho head or sourco of tho St. Marys as the* true point. The President of tho U. States would have been quite justifiable, disregarding the act of Congress in this respect, in direct ing his coinmissiditer to run from the line de signated by the Treaty, instoad of tho point designated by the act, tlie Treaty being tho supreme law. It was not, howevei, deemed expediont, on this account, to arrest the com missioner of Georgia at the outsot. .If tho point established by Ellicot had, by the com missioners of tfie.U. States nnd Georgia, boon found to coiticido with the head or sourco of tho St. Marys, tho- commissioner of Georgia would have been instructed to proceed. It wa* ascertained that they did not coincide, and his progress was accordingly arrested. You will observe that the first question presenting itself for settlement between tho two governments is, whethor the point arbitrarily agreed on by Ellicott and tlm Spanish Commissioner as tlt« head of the St, Mary’s, now ascertained not to bo the hoad o von of the stream pursued by El- * licott, shall be considered ns the true head un der the treaty of 1795. The other, and only remaining qunstion will bo, which is the tru» source of tho St. Mary’s. To enable you to, act understanding^ on thoso qestioDs, its well as to afford somo satisfaction to tho Govern- nsviH mC UnitvU *trU’*vli ;mWJt uu« doubtedly reviso its proceeding, I had instruct ed a competent agent, tho same who acted as the survoyor and artist under the commissioners^ and who approved himself worthy of thoir highest confidence, to proceed to an examina tion of tho soveral branchosof tho St. Mary’s, for tho purposo of ascertaining, by actual admea surement, tho true head or sourco of that river* The correspondence and documents on this subjoct, together with his report, are submitt ed. It will bo seen that of the throo branches forming tho St. Mary’**, viz: the Northorn, Wes tern and Southern branch, the Southern is not only tho longest by two or three miles, nnd having a direction corresponding most natu rally with the general courso anil disembogue- ment of tho river, but discharges oight times more wator than eithor of tho other branches* and ono third more than both of them unitod, including various other tributary streams;—that of the three, tho north branch, viz: that pur sued by Ellicott, is tho most inconsiderable* discharging, in proportion oven to tho western: branch, as two to throo, and in proportion tiv the southorn brau:h as fivo to forty-throe; and indoed that it is oven more inconsiderable than anothor stream, ('tho Alligator,) south of it* and running between it and tho westorn branch, If these facts are confirmed to the satisfaction*, of thp Government of tho United States, tho conclusion will bo irresistible, even by itself, that wo must follow, not the error or mistake of Mr,. Ellicott, but the language of the Trea ty; not tho point arbilrariy determined as tliD ltoad of the St. Many’s, but the true hoadj and that tho true head or sourco of the St. Mary’s is to be found, not at Hie extemity of tho northern, but at tlie extremity of the sou thern branch; and that from this point tho line must be run according to the letter of lira charter of Gcorgin, of the Treaty of’83, of tho Treaty of ’95, nnd of tho Constitution of Georgia. This detail, so inconsistent with the generalizing character of a Message, will find an apology in the extremo reluctance which I feel to opon a now controversy with tho Go. vernraent of *ho United States—tho great de licacy of-the question, (boing one of bottnda- ry)—the extent of territory, (more th in two thousand miles) whicirroay bo involved in it, and the obvious propriety, therefore, in stating the question for the first time, to stato it fairly and fully. It gives mo great pleasure to inform you, that recent acts of the General Government, and of its different departments, bespeak a re turn to good feeling, and give on earnest ot'lu. ture good understanding which it Iris been iho sincere desire, os it is tho duty, of litis govern ment, to cultivate. Our militia claims, so con- stantly nnd sedulously, but tinavtilingly urged before that government for 20or 30 years, have been recognized, and, under circumstances w ir- raming the belief that some grains of prejudice had mingled with the former repeated conside rations of them, and that nothing was wanting to a_ prompt acknowledgment of their ju.tica at all times, but calm, dispassionate and impartial investigation—They ate in a course of liquida tion and settlement. The expenses of tho military expedition ordered fitr tho defence of tho seuthera fresh Ml. taS m
