TJWPSD.I Y MORXIXG, JVL Y 30,1 %*3,
W o have copied jot* our paper an article from
the Columbus Enquirer, from which it wouid ap
pear that the inhabitants oftlie south w c&tern fron
tier of Georgia, are under serious apprehensions
of an attack from the Creek nation of Indians
Several secret councils, it is stated, have been -
held in the Creek nation, at which the Indians]
had determined to remain and die on their soil,
instead of being removed to tho ’.vest, Tmd to w age
a war of extermination against the whites in their j
own neighborhood. There hi a y probably Le some
little foundation for the alarm which has been ex
cited on this subject; but we have no doubt tho
danger has been greatly exaggerated by the fears
of the frontier inhabitants, i hat is, many of the
Indians, perhaps, have resolved not to be remov
ed, but by force; but that the Creek nation should
have determined on an. offensive war, is, in our
opinion, a matter past belief The warriors of
that nation have been reduced .to a mere handful
of men, and they know and feel their ow y Weak’
ness, and the overw helming force of the whites;
and are not disposed to urge llieir fate, by effm
tsive operations. T hat an attempt on tho part of
the United States, to force them from their lauds,
* fea y be attended with difficulty and bloodshed, we
think highly piotable; but the Creeks have to*?
much sagacity to jeopardize their existence by
any unnecessary act of wanton national hostility-
We are aware that it has long beeji the policy of
a party in these states, to press the Indians into
a war, that a pretext might be afforded for the'n
extermination, or violent ejectment; ;' t j g possible
tl.at this object may now D5 accomplished.
It will be observed, also, that the Columbus
Enquirer censures, in strong terms, the conduct
ol Col. Crowell, in this business. There is a
doubt in our minds, if this is not, in a measure,
undeserved. The editor of the Enquire? is the
personal and political enemy of Col. C ROWELL,
and would be well pleased in being able to per
vert any fact t<* hismrejudice. Bui that Colonel
Cue well, his situation, has the best
opportunity of forming a correct opinion, does
not believe the danger urgent, we think may be
gathered from the fact, of his remaining with his
family and property, unguarded, in the midst of
’bo Indians. And if he does not fear for lihn
se:t, when lie is to be the first object of the attack,
I >vv is ne euipabie for not aiding in spreading an
alarm, which may be tiie means of dragging tho
militia from their homes at this inconvenient sea
son of the year, on a useless expedition.
As for Coi. Ulyses Lewis who, it is said, has for
c. irded an express to Governor Forsyth, he is one
oi those meddlesome sort of peuple, who would
hut iittic regard the evil entailed on others, if ho
-ouid by any means, figure for a short time as the’
hero of a newspaper paragraph. But we know
rma well enough to predict, that ho is not one of
tiiose who will be foremost i;i any expedition
wliere there is a prospect of tasting gun pow der, i

CASE OF T. WATKINS.
The argument in this was closed
this morning bv Mr. Key for the U. States
in a speech of about two hours length.—
The ca-ie vrnS llitu, at half past eleven
o’clock, committed to the Jury, and they
retired. In about two hours the Jury came
.into Court, and tiie Foreman read the fol
lowing as their verdict; “The Jurors in
the case of the U States against Tobias
Walk ins, find him guilty of obtaining 750
dollars in his official capacity, and of apply
ing the same to his own private use. *
Mr. Swann, to the veidict.—
■Such a verdict cannot be received—it
I would have no legal effect whatever-—it is
a mere nullity.
Mr. We demand that the verdict
be received and recorded—let its legal ef
fect be tried afterwards.
Mr. Jones. This is the only correct
course. The verdict must be received and
entered, and its.legal effect settled after
wards.
Mr. Key. The verdict amounts to no
thing; it is neither for tiie defendant nor w
gai-ist him. It is necessary to have a ver
dict 00 the indictment; and, as this is not
sueh an one, it cannot be received. ‘
Considerable discussion followed, and
authorities were cited by the counsel on
both sides, to sustain their respective views.
Judge Thruston inclined to the opinion
that the verdict should bo received, and its
effect settled what thai effect
should be, he cauld not, without considera
tion, undertake to say. Judge Morsell
dissented from this course; if the Jury do
not find a general verdict, and mean to find
a special one, they must find it in the com
mon form—tiie one they had brought in
of neither character; it said nothing in
relation iu .k*. fraud, and was not such an
one as judgment ccula u. g j vcn ont Cmcff
Judge C ranch (who had been a 0 W *.*s it O](J I
absent from tiie bench, having taken iiis
seat aud consulted with his inti
mated to the counsel the course which the
Court was willing to adopt, which was to
.inform thc Jury of the insufficient charac
ter of their finding, and to permit them to
Igo back to their room and revise their ver
dict if they chose to do so. After some
■conversation between the Court end the
! oar, in which Mr. Coxe objected to the
1 course* proposed, insisting that Ibe verdict
rendered was in effect a verdict of acquit
tal, and ought to be received—the Jury
was called up, and tho Chief Judge addres
sed it
“The Court informs the Jury that they
have doubts whether they can, upon the
verdict thc Jury have offered to return,,
give final judgment either for or against
the defendant; because tho Jury bus not
found whether the money was received by
lae defendant with a fraudulent intent, nor
whether the money received was the mon
ey of the United States; and that ifrhe Ju
ry chooscd to retire and re-co.isider their
verdict in these particulars, the .Court will
permit them to do so.”
Fite Jury then retired to their room, and
in about fifteen minutes returned into Court*
ami handed in the following verdict “The
Jurors in the case of the United States a- 4 -
gainst lohl as 1’ at kins find him guilty ol
obtaining 750 dollars, money of the United*
§ totes, in bis official capacity, ui:d of ap-,
plying the same to ids own private use;”
which verdict was received and recorded.
The Counsel for the defendant apprised*
the opposite Counsel that they should re
quire judgement of acquittal. No proceed
ing however, was now moved, and nothing
further in the case was done to-day.

in the preceding case had retired, the At

Thoajas Swann, Attorney U. S.
Pile two first courts having been demur
red to on Tuesday last, by Mrs. R.oyall’s
Counsel, and the Court having yesterday
delivered its opinion sustaining the demur
rer, and quashing the two first counts, the
third and last count formed the indictment ;
on which the defendant was now to be tried, 1
and the trial proceeded.
On the part of the prosecution, the fol
lowing witnesses were examined, viz: Mes
srs. John Coyle, J. Coyle, Jr. Geo. Wat
teraton, J. O. Dunn, Christ’r Dunn, J. G.
Whit well, Charles M Cormick, John T.
Frost L. 11. Machen, aud Geo. W. Daw
son; for ilcTunduiit. ihe following
Witnesses were called and examined, viz:
Hon. John H. Eato*i, Sarah Slack, Mrs.
Greer, 11. Tims, W. Hickey, F. May, Jr.
J. Underwood, and J Holonan.
Tiie examination and cross-examination
of these numerous witnesses occupid near
ly five hours. Being at length finished,
Mrs. Royall rose and made a short but pa
thetic address to the Jury, urging them to
defend her agamst oppression, to prove
themselves the protectors of personal t ights
and liborty; warning them against sanction
i ing a system of clerical domination, and
persecution, which if not checked by the
freedom of speech and of the press, and
these defended by independent jurors,
would produce a state of things which
would endanger the Judge on the bench,
and even the President himself;—declaring
that this system, and this prosecution, were*
part of a general .scheme, of which the at
tempt to stop the mails on the Sabbath was
another feature, &c. &c.
The Counsel on both sides submitted
the case without argument, and the jury
having retired a ftw minu'es, returned
with a vereict of “guilty as indicted.' 1
r Mr. Coxe, for the defendant, moved an
arrest of judgement.
The defendant then gave security in
SIOO to appear to answer the judgment**
and tho Court adjourned at 5 o'clock.
Monday, July 21.
Dr. Watkins. —After Hie preliminary
business before the Court was yesterday
disposed of, Mr. Swann rose to express
his desire to. bring the matters connected
with Dr. Watkins to u close, as rapidly as
possible. He wished to know what could
be done in reference to the veridet of Sat
urday, and whether the Court hud carno to
a decision ns to their judge men!?
Judge Cruncli said the verdict had not
been considered by the Court as commit
ted to them, until the Counsel should have
decided what course to take relative to it.
He asked Mr. Swann, if bo intended to
move an arrest of judgment, or to ask for
judgment.
Mr. Swann said he was not in a situation
to take either course; but his only mode of
procedure was to move, as he now did, for
a venire facias dc nova , and take anew
trial.
Mr. Jones said ho was not prepared to go
into any argument on the subject now, nur
I did he see the utility of pressing the Court
with points of law, when there was anoth
er to be tried on the facts. He wish
ed to be absent for a few days.
Judge Thruston complained of the in
convenience of tho Court being siili kept
in session,
Mr. Jones said, that according to Mr.
Swann, the Court might be kept sitting un
til next term, as He had expressed his inten
tion to send new indictments to the Grand
Jury.
NJr. 3wane, replied that this most depend
upon circumstances. The verdict wftteh
hid been rendered was aonillity. But if
the Court should be of opinion that the ver
dict includes every thing, it would be unne
cessary to apply for a venire .
Judge Cranch quoted from L’Eslrange,
to show that a venire had never issued in a
criminal case.
Mr. Key said this applied to capital ca
ses only.
Mr. Swann suggested that if there was’
any doubt on the mind of the Court a& to
*He verdict, he; would wish that it should be
deliberated on and discussed. It wad u
case qf very gieat importance,
Mr. Key expressed his expectation that
the Court would have decided on the ver
dict without any further argument.
Judge Morsell said there was no doubt
that the verdict was insufficient, and the
onlv question was if a venire should issue.
Aftb a little further conversation, it was
agreed that the argument on the motion of
Mr. Swaun should be postponed until this
morning, when the Counsel on both sides
would be expected to he prepaied.
A jury was subsequently called to try the
other indictment. There was some discus
sion as to the jurors -of the U. States’ Coun
sel having opposed those who were on the
last pannel, and the Counsel for the accu
sed maintaining their eligibility. The
Court decided that the Counsel on both
sides might challenge any of the jurors
After 9ome time spent in challenging and
trying the jurors, four were sworn, and the
Marshal was ordered to summon eight
talesmen.

INDIAN AFFAIRS.
Much alarm has been excited in this place
by some recent movements of a hostile char
acter among the Indians. Several secret
Councils have been held in the Creek Na
tion, with a view, it is believed, of excit
ing warlike operations against the frontier
settlements. In consequence of the gener
eral apprehension of danger, some of our
citizens on Wednesday last visited the Creek
4gent at Fort Mitchell, for the purpose of
obtaining whatever information he might
possess in relation to tiie anticipated dif
ficulties. The following is the information
which he afforded. The statement is fur
nished u* by one of the gentlemen who field
the conversation with him,
41 The agent slated that there had been
several secret councils h.eld by the chiefs ;
that he had beer) informed by several In
dians, that they the Indians, in these coun -
cils, had resolved to stay and die upon their
soil; that they had also resolved to kill him
the agent and wage a war of extermination
upon the frontiers, and assassinate every
white west o-f the Flint river j and when
troops sliould be sent to fight them they
would retire to the swamps and die to a
man fighting for the soil of their fathers.—
The agent, not putting suffieisnt confidence
io these reports, felt no alarm, until a i old
respectable chief, in whom he had always
put the utmost confidence, and who had al
ways manifested for him the greatest friend
ship, came to him aud told him in confidence
that the report was true, and that he him
self was a member of tiie secret council
which passed the aforesaid resolution, and
that he voted for if, but that he had so great
friendship for him the agent, that he could
not reconcile it to big conscience so far to
violate his faith as to see him sacrificed
without apprising him of bis danger. Thus
much having heretofore become public, no
injury can accrue from the repetition of it;
hut some other communication which the
chief made to the agetd, for prudential rea
sons, perhaps b-id best not be made too
public, as they appertain to the safety of
the agent. The chief also stated that de
putations had been sent to the Cherokees,
the Choctaws, aud Simiuoles, to solicit their
concurrence in sentiment and action with
them, the Creeks, but that none but the
Cherokees had been heard from, and that
they concurred ; that Ross, the President,
was preparing a talk for his nation, advising
them never to give up their land, hut to kill
every white nun who crossed the line. *
From the same gentleman who furnished
the above we also learn, that Col. Crowell
has written to the War Department con
cerning the affair, and that he would also
have apprised the Governor of Georgia of
the same, but that lie (the Agent) does not
apprehend any immediate danger to the
citizens of Georgia ; by which we rhay in
fer that no information will be communica
ted to the authorities of this Slate, by this
humane officer, until immediate danger,
comus upon the people. But whether near j

and rain, accompanied by tremendous flash*
; es of forked lightning, seldom equalled here;
about hall-past tno storm in
creased to an appalling dogreo of alarm; its
; duration was happily short, but we arc con
■ cerned to state shut its effect proved fatal
to Mr. Frederick A. Robinson. The
house in winch this unfortunate young man
resided, situate in Devonshire parish, near
tho Duck was struck with lightning;the
electric fluid went down the chimney,
through a room in which the mother aud
sisters of the deceasd were, and into a pas
sage adjoining where Mr. R. whom it
struck, was, and instantly deprivetj him of
life. The chitn ney was much shattered,
and some trifling damage done in the room.
Mr. R was quite a young man, and lib
death is a source of deep regret to his nu
merous relatives and friends.
During the storm the Merchant Ship
■Speke, Morris, master, lying in the harbor
of St. .George, about 400 yards from the
Town, and about the same distance from
the Ordinance Powder Magazine, forming
an angle, was struck by lightning; the elec
tro fluid caught the main-top-mast head,
split it to pieces, passed down and entered
one of the pumps, ripped up its chamber,
and exploded ou the deck: several of her
crew with the pilot were severely hurt,
but we are happy to say not dangerously.
