business and duty pf the "writer to travel ainou^
those r.J the Cnerokees residing within the char
tered limits ol file Slate of Georgia during the
present year. Tiic gcncrol government has been
endeavoring, through enrolling agents, to induce
those residing within ihtr limits of Georgia to
emigrate west oi the .Mississippi under the plan
of enrollment. Under the inducements offered
by this arrangement, tho agents were enabled to
move between seven hundred and a thousand
during last fall and winter, aud fjttyc now some
thing upwards of a thousand enrolled lor the en

government to induce the whole remaining pr.i-t
yf.tbo (-herokfee tribe to remove in mass and join
tlioir brethren already west of the Mississippi—to
do'this it was necessary to negoeiate a treaty to
effect tins desirable object; aud to accomplish it
the government offered them such terms 'as .are
unpreccdeiitcd iu any former negotiation ever of
fered to any tribe in North America. A-copy of
these propositions were given the principal chief
Mr. Ross; by the special agent, who called a
council of the \t hole nation to be held at Red
Hill on that part of the nation within the charter
ed limps of Tennessee, which took plaee cu the
2Lkl of July last. Before and ;u,the time of the
meeting, every favorable prospect existed that
the cooutii would result iu giving a favorable an

itaheral treaty would •shortly follow, whereby they
might be relived fiom their embarrassed situation.

is to l.*e regretted that the causo may be traced to
ir^riguiuK w hile'men distinguished iu their op

"The ca.uutil was attended by the well known
CM. John Williams of Knoxville, Tenn., who
wvos bonteu by (ir.n. Jackson -before the Legisla-
ttti'o of that. State in 1822 or 3, for the Senate of
the United States, aud who has distinguished
himself ever siuco by oppoUtioujo General Jack-
son and his friends in that State; and jam inform
ed by an intelligent half breed Cherokee who
has Jttid high offices among them, that Col. "Wil
li :ims offered to rent the gold mines for a term of
ysa.’S tic if. fho Coucil, which lies within the limits
of Georgia; and remarked that he would show
tUc State .of Georgia, or the Administration, who
ther he could not carry a case successfully through
the Supreme Court or not. liow much further
lib Avent to dofeat the objects of the government
is left to cominou conjecture; but it wa3 generally
believed at the meeting of the Council that a ma
jority of the chiefs were in favor of a treaty on the
ft? IS28; nod that
JamC3 M. Wayne,
reseutatives in Ci
j thanks and highest
j Uwy thought proper to pursue in relation to the
j I-‘ ‘Ssagp ot ' the same,-and that we fully approve
I the vote they-gave cu that occasion,
j Rcsoitfd, That we will use ail proper means,
j consistent with the peace, kappiness, safety and
j prosperity of our holy Union, in relieving our-
j selves from the “anticipated evils of the prospec-
j rive tariff, but avc believe they have been greatly
r exaggerated, and that some of the remedies pro
posed would be far more deleterious than theta-
riff itself.”
Resolved, That vve wholly disapprove die pre
amble and resolutions of the Athens- meeting;
that we deem a Convention uncalled for and un
authorised by the causes referred to, and that we,
the citizens of Upson county, friendly to the Union,
do hereby, decline and refuse to elect or- appoint
delegates to attend the same; “and that vve leav T c
the subject of the tariff" to the .State Legislature,
which can deliberately recommend some prudent
and definite mqde of expressing the ’ public will,
should such a measure be deemed expedient,”
Resolved, That tve fully concur Avith mir fel-
loAV-citizcus of Richmond county, in considering
the doctrine of Nullification “false in theory, ant’
believing that in practice it Avould prove most dis
istrious to our country, aud that we Avill- not give
our votes to any candidates either for Congress
or State Legislature who are advocates for that
doctrine.”
Resolved, That we highly approve of the
course taken by our distinguished feliow-cittzen
Col. Win. Gumming, and of those Avho co opera
ted Avith him at the late Union meeting in Rich
mond count)’.
Resolved, That our hopes of redress from any
oppressive act of Federal legislation, as well as
for the preservation of the Union of these States,
depend essentially on the re-election of our vener
able, Joug-tried aud patriotic President, Andkeav
Jackson, and that wo pledge ourselvosto use eur

Resolved, That the preamble and resolutions
purporting to have been adopted by the meeting

This morning a great explosion, shaking the
house almost like an earthquake, announced the
destruction of part of Dupont’s Powder Mills,—
The first shock Avas succeeded by tAvo slighter
ones. Many persons were soon seen gailopping
out to the scene of destruction, J. G. Avill no
doubt learn the particulars w hile he is out, aud
will give them.
P. S. It Avas one of the buildings of the lower
Avorks that was destroyed. Two men Avere kill
ed, and one o»Jier hurt.
Avas not realized, and the Cherokees stiff, remain
the victims of political intrigue. J. am gratified
hi being able to say, ihnt the enrolling policy is
rapidly gaining ground since the meeting of the
Couucii—there is u disposition among the com-
inon Cherokees now to look out for themselves,
and seek a permanent home Ave3t of the Mississip
pi, by joining tho plan of enrolmcntr thus making
their own treaty, &c. It was not particularly es
sential on the part of the State whether the trea
ty Was concluded or not, so far as tire State's in-
, . _ _ . .. j terest is concerned; from tho vigilance of the en-.
opposed the. protective ro ;ii rts ,-» 5 eu;s they have received relinquishments
for the Tariff, thinking it the the government tor all the improvements and
rhht of occupancy east of tho Hightower, Avith
the exception of between seven or ten thousand
dollars ivortiw and Ave can safely say that lully
half Avcst of that river has bean extinguished; and
from the spirit of enrolment doav existing, I doubt
not that during the approaching fall and winter,
thq right of occupancy Avill be almost entirely ex-
lingujahed so far as the rii-ht of .Georgia is con
cerned. There are a feAv fruiiilies who Avill wish
to remain and become citizens of the Stale on e -
qual terms, and these few are generally.prepared
to do so bv the benefits of civilization, education
aid religion—these individuals may be the objects
of future legislation.

TOWN MEETING AT IIAWKINSVILtE.
At a meeting of the Merchants and Citizens of
liawkinsviHe, held agreeable to previous notice,
Mr. Jamks Bkight Avas called to the Chair, and
Mr. John Bozeman appointed Secretary.
A Committee being appointed to prepare reso
lutions expressive of the views of the meeting, the
folloAving preamble aud resolutions Avere reported
and unanimously adopted:
Whereas at a late ineetiug of the Citizens of
Savannah it Avas resolved “that they would not
receive in their respective business transactions,
the notes of any Bank but such as Avill be receiv
ed -on deposit by the Banks of that city, or at such
a discount as will be fixed upon by the brokers of
that place;"—-And Avhereas some of the bills of
tho Bank established iu this toivn, and others of
the Banks of the interior of this State, were cried
aud sold at auction, aud bid as Ave believe under
previous arrangement, at a large discount.
And whereas the merchants of this town, and
this whole section of country, ha\'o ever contribu
ted all in their power* even in many cases at a
sacrifice of their own interests, to promote the
commercial prosperity of Savauuah and to prop
its decaying and falling fortunes;
Therefore be it resolved, That Avhile we erfniiot
but look upon the above resolution of the citizens
of Savannah with astonishment, after repeated
warnings of the injury’ it Avould be to them and
ours cites, avo are constrained to view it not only
as unkind, ungrateful and ungenerous, but illibe
ral in spirit and hostile to our own interests, the-
prosperity of this town and section ofthe country’,
and the bc3t interests of our State, by placing the
Banks of the interior Avithin the merciless cupidi
ty of her avaricious brqkersl
Resolved, That avc vieiv tho sale of the bills of
the Bauk of this toAvn, and other banks ofthe in
terior, as an artful arrangement aud attack by
which they might speculate upon the credit of
those institutions, and as an insult to the Bank iu
this place,, and through it to ourselves, carrying
with it a meanness Of spirit unbecoming the free
citizens of any commercial city.
Resolved, That having the utmost confidence iu
the solvency, resources and management of the
Banks of Macon now in operation, ol Columbus,
and of this place, Ave will most heartily co-oper
ate (and request the co-operatiou of the. mer
chants of the neighboring towns) with the citizens
of Macon iu their resolutions respecting those
Batiks, and avc pledge ourselvc3 to repel this en
croachment upon our interests and our rights by
all .fair and honorable means, aud never to aban
don this determination until the citizens of Savan
nah shall recede from their resolutions and do re
paration for the insult offered us.
Resolved, That these proceedings be signed by
| the Chairman and Secretary, and be published
in the Macon and JUiUedgeville papers.

through every part-of this State, and as far a-
loved brother, and pastor of this church, ti
YVili.iAM Henderson, deceased, was known, ’
in his last illness, and upon his death bed, rein
as an heresy’ the doctrine he had maintained \
much zeal and ardour through the whole co>:
his public ministry, viz: the •foctrinc of Par.:
Unconditional and Eternal EU ction, and the
Perseverance of the Saints through Grace: m
he died in dispair, und without the hope ofthe ;

We have no knowledge of the source from v.
