Editor Columbus Time*. j
Dawson’, Oa. Dec. 10.
I am about to do a thing which I have
bad in contemplation since 1848—viz: to rid
the world of me, and to rid myself of an exis
tence useless to mo aud derogatory to others.—
And, Mr. Editor, how dare you. or any of your
readers say, it is weak, or wrong, or unmanly
to perform the act I am about to perform ?
Life is a burden to me—has been for years. I
am driven on by a destiny, I have no power to
control. Don’t say to me “it is your fault—you
eould act differently.” It is untrue. I always
wished to act differently—l have prayed to act
differently—l have prayed God to help mo act
differently, in* knows my wish and purpose was
to boa good man. This I have prayed for from
boyhood; and yeti havo not been a good man.—
“There is a divinity that shapes our ends.” There
Is a powor that drives us on like a feather before
tho wind, and we have as little power to direct
our courso ns tlio feather in the galo.
Now, with all my sins, follies and’ vices cling
ing to my skirts, I am going unbidden, into the
presence of my God, to ask him if I havo not
been an honest man; to ask him if ever I wronged
a man intentionally; to csk him why I am not
the man I always desired to bo; to ask what pun
ishment I am to receive lor knowing mv duty,
desiring to perform it, and yet not having the
nerve to do it. Don’t say lam denuk either, for
it is not so. I tell you, Peyton Colquitt, that lam
doing this thing upon reflection. I lay all night
thinking of it. I have looked at all the reasons
for and against it. In some respects I have
been a successful man. As certain ns the world
stands I would beat tbo race lor Judge bv more
than tho Democratic majority. That is not tho
thing with me. I would not live to be President
of the United States, uuless I could be the man
I wish to bo. From a boy I wished to be a groat
and good man—a man exerting a great salutary
moral influence on mankind. But as it is, lam
shedding death-shade and mildew’from the high
places in tho land.
I would havo waited till I got home, but I know
it would not do. I would thou never havo dis
charged the duty, I owe to myself and mankind.
I could not part with my wife and little ones.
Several times in tho last few years I have pre
pared inysolffor this event at home,when my wife
knew nothing of it. But to look at tho children
and hear them say “Pa,” or to look at a smiling,
affectionate wife,that anticipated my wishes—that
forgave a thousand follies—that never spoke an
unkind word to me—that never did one unkind
act—l did not have the courage to proceed. But
believing, as I do, that my departure from this
life will benefit my family, as well as others, I
am going to die hero to day. I have plenty of
friends who will be sorry for this; but to one and
all of them I say, John A. Tucker never professed
friendship to any one, that he deserted in the
hour of trial. My wife and my little ones 1 com

Conference proceeded to the examination of the
character of Elders, all of which were passed. Du
ring tho examination, Dr. Jesse Boring made
known his intention to leave the Georgia Confer
ence Rio Grande J/ission Conference. It
being understood that Dr. B. is in embarrassed
condition, growing out of money paid for the
church in California, a resolution was passed de
claring the validity and oquity of Dr. Boring’s
claim, and appointing a committee to bring said
claim before the next annual meeting of tho Mis
sionary board. Col. James M. Chambers then
made’ a proposition to tho Conference by which
he offered to release Dr. Boring from all hi* em
barrassment provided he would remain in Geor
gia. The Bishop stated that this action would
embarrass him, as ho had put Dr Boring
down to an important work in the Rio Grande
Conference and that unless he went another strong
man from Georgia would have to go in his place.
Uuder these circumstances tho matter was laid
over for the present. Dr. Boring is one of tho
most popular men in tho Georgia Conference, and
he will be given up with great reluctance.

[From the Daily Globe.]
Speech of Hon. M. J. Cran ford of Da.
On the claims of the citizens of Georgia and Al
abama for losses sustained by tho depredations of
tho Creek Indians—
Delivered in the House of Representatives Dec.,
18th 1258.
Mr. Crawford. Mr. Chairman, it is with very
deep regret that I have just witnessed what has
transpired between my friend from Alabama [Mr.
Shorter] and tho gentleman from Wisconsin,
[Mr. Washburn;] for I know how easy it is to
excite in this body prejudices against a bill be
cause of a misunderstanding between gentlemen
representing different portions of the country.—
But, sir, I beg of the committee to hear me with
out reference to anything of an unpleasant char
acter which may havo occurred, and give to the
persons claiming under this bill tho full benefit
of all the merits which it may possess.
It is, as its title purports, a bill to provide for
an examination and payment of the claims of cer
tain citizens of Georgia and Alabama who bad
property destroyed by the Creek Indians iu
1836.
These claimants for twenty years have asked of
Congress tho settlement cf their just demands
against the Government. From time to time they
have been deferred, sometimes from one cause,
sometimes for another, and yet at no time has
payment been refused upon the ground that there
was nothing due. Committees of the respective
Houses have repeatedly reported iu their favor,
and still the various bills have fallen between the
two Houses, or for want of time. Wo therefore
come now, Mr. Chairman, at the first of the ses
sion, with this bill, unanimously reported from
your Committee on Indian Affairs, and ask its
consideration and passage to day. I will not
ask tho indulgence of the eommitteo long, for the
facts nro few, aud the principles upon which the
parties rest their claims aro clear. In 1532, all
the lands upon which the Creek nation held any
claim, east of the Mississippi river, were ceded to
the United States, and the ouly limit to that ces
sion was that chief and heads of families should
have certain reservation when tbo land was sur
veyed. These were made aud secured to them,
and the treaty upon the part of tho Government
carried out in good faith.
In 1834 laud offices wero opened, and tho peo
ple invited to enter, and there settle upon these
lands ; this was done, and, in fact, not only were
the public lands generally taken tip, but nearly all
those reserved likewise, so that, in the year 1835,
the settlement of the whites upon these purchases
was large, though very much scattered. The In
dians had set apart for them, west of the Mississ
ippi, an equal quantity of the public domain to
that which they had ceded to us. The opening ,
of these lands to entry by the Government was
but an invitation to the people to purchase aud ‘
occupy them; and they did so, relying upon the j
good faith of the United States to protect them in j
their possession, and to allow no depredations to j
be committed upon their property. But, sir, tho j
consequence was that after the Indians had sold \
their lands, received and squandered their pay, I
a large number of them, being destitute of the ‘
means of support, begau to rob and plunder the !
settlers ; this at first was secretly done, but soon ;
iu armed bands they openly traversed the country !
and a’ will appropriated to their own use whatso- j
ever they desired. The United States, instead of i
giving protection to these peoplo, had removed the ;
only body of troops which they bad previously
stationed iu that country; and, by petition, they ;
appealed to the Governors of Georgia and Ala
bama to preservo their lives and property. The
Indian agent, who might possibly havo rendered
the whites important service in this matter, bad
been dispensod with ; and their only hope of safe
ty was in flight from the country, and leaving be
hind them their corn, moat, cattle, and growing
crops at tho mercy of these lawless savages. Very
many were killed in their attempted flight, whilst
all had their stores of provisions robbed, and their !
houses burned. Long after it was too late to rem
edy the evil, Government troops reached the na- j
tion, aud succeeded iu driving the Indians from j
their swamps and hiding places, and at tho same ;
time feeding the soldiery aud friendly Creeks upon
whatsoever of provisions had not fallen into the
hands of the hostiles.
The result of these operations in the nation,
only forced the Indians to seek anew field upon
which to destroy the property and spill tho blood
of tbo wbiteman. Tho open war then existing
betweoa the Seminoles of Florida and the United j
States, offered them the opportunity desired, and
the only hinderance in the way of thoir accom
plishing their object was a small body of Govern
ment troops which hod taken possession of the
town of Roanoke, situated on tke Ob*rt*boe#h*e
river, for the purpose of intercepting their inarch
in that direction. Too well, however, did the In
dians know our strength at that point; for, with a
force sufficient to overpower our men, they entere-l
and tired the town, murdering, indiscriminately,
all who could no; escape tbeir vengeance, boldier
and citizen sought safety by flight to the neigh
boring farms ; but hero they wore pursued and
driven away, and the homes of these planters laid
waste. They destroyed every thing which would
uucumber them in their march, and then, through
sparsely populated districts, they took their way
to tbo everglades of Florida.
Having presented the facts, how stands the ob
ligation of the Government to these citizens for
the payment of the losses sustained?
Mr. Giddiu/rs. I desire to vote for bill ii I
cau do so consistently, and I therefore wish to
hear the explanation of tho gentleman from Geor
gia upon a point to which lie was just now alluu
ing. It is, whether the history of the depreda
tions which ho hasjust related, is not that which
has characterized the proceedings prior to the
breaking out of every Indian war in New York,
in Ohio, and in every part of the country ?
Mr. Leiter. lam prepared to show that there
is a marked difference, whenever I shall have the
opportunity.
Mr. Crawford, Wo hold that one of the fir3t du
ties of the Government is to protect the citizen in
the enjoyment of his property, and more particu
larly that property which he holds directly from
the Government itself. This is a principle of law
so generally acknowledged that it is useless to
argue it. The claimants referred to by this bill
are citizens; were occupying lands which the
United States Government had sold them ; they
were living where they had the unquestioned right
to live; they wero violating no law, either of this
Government or of the Cecek nation ; as a necessary
consequence, they were entitled to protection for
their persons and their property. The Creek In
-1 dians bad parted with their general and their in
i dividual titles to all this territory; as a nation
! they had obligated themselves to go west, and the
whites, under such circumstances, had procured
titles and occupiod the country.
It must bo remembered that tho United States
troops which had formerly been stationed in the
Indian country had been removed by order of tbo
War Department, i hereby depriving the settlers
of tho only sur*- uurantee which they had against
Indian porfid; ,nd atrocity. The consequences of
the removal > avo already been spoken of; and
whilst the < jvernmont cannot restore to life its
murdered citizens, it can at least compensate for
tho actual looses sustained by thorn. Not only un
der the general right which the citizen lias, that
his property shall be protected, but a.so under
the act of 1034, these claimants aro entitled to
compensation for their losses; not, I grant, under
its letter, but under its spirit.
Mr. Giddings. Tho gentleman is laying down
a very correct rule; but 1 desire that he shall
turn his attention to the application of it. It is
unquestionably the duty of the Government, iu tho
ordinary exercise of its functions, to protect its
citizens. Now I ask the gentleman if the rule was
ever adopted in any Department of the Govern
ment, by compensating for losses of property in
this way, and before the Government bad*all prop
er and reasonable time to bring its forces there
for tho protection of citizens and property ?
Mr, Crawford. I ask tho gentleman from Ohio,
if be approves of the principles laid down in the
act of 1834, in regard to tho intercourse between
the whites and Indians ?
Mr. Giddings. If the gentleman will specify
any particular part of it, I will give a definite
answer.
Mr. Crawford. It is this :
“That if any Indians belonging to a tribe in
amity with tho United States, shall, within tho
‘lndian country,’ on passing from the ‘lndian
country’ into any State or Territory inhabited by
citizens of tho United States, tako and destroy
thoir property, the owners of said property shall
make claim to the superintendent or Indian agent,
who, upon due proof of the loss, shall, under the
direction of the President, apply to tho tribe for
satisfaction ; and if such satisfaction be not made
within twelve months, the same shall bo reported to
the Commissioner cf Indian Affairs, that such
steps shall be taken as shall be proper to obtain
satisfaction : and, in the mean time, in respect to
the property so taken, stolen or destroyed, the
United States guaranty to tho party so injured an
eventual indemnification.”
After describing what shall bo Indian country,
it then provides that if any Indians belonging to
a friendly tribe shall destroy property, either in
tho Indian country or in passing from it into any
Stato or Territory inhabited by citizens of tho
United States, the owners of such property shall,
upon proof of the loss, under tho direction of the
President, apply to the tribe for satisfaction, and,
in tho meantime, the United States guaranty tho
parties an eventual indemnification,
i Mr. Giddings. I yield that a most hearty as
sent.
Mr. Crawford. The gentleman from Ohio
says ho approves tho principles laid dow’n in that
law. I now say to him, and to the House, that
although the letter of the law does not cover the
claims we bring to the House, yet iu priuciple it
does. It is true that most of these losses were
sustained in Georgia and Alabama; but the In
dians were occupying the country*, and it was no
part of the duty of these States to remove them
from it. Had these depredations been committed
by Idnians West of the Mississippi, the claimants
would have been paid long ‘years ago; but pay
ment is withheld because they did not occur in
what is known tecnichally as “Indian country.”
The friends of this bill admit that under the act
of 1834, thi3 was not Indian country; but they
do say, that if the presence of the whole tribe,and
their occupancy of the lands ever makes Indian
country, then this wus verily so, indeed. If the
payments made be just underl the act of 1834,
t'u*n they are just under this bill; and if Congress
did right in passing that law, than Congress
ought to pass this.
It was under this view, no doubt, that General
Jackson, iu December of this same year, says to
Congress that provision should bo made for in
demnifying tho owners of property which had
been taken for public use, aud suggests thut relief
should also be rendered for depredations
ted by these Indians. Congress, whether concur
ring iu that view or not, aijrrjpriated a sum of
So,ooo to cover the expense of a suitable commis
sion to examine into the depredations committed
and report the same to Congress. Tho commis
sioners discharged that duty, and ascertained that
$1,272,000 was the amount claimed to be due; but
the amount allowed was only $349,000 ; reducing
in every instance the sum claimed one third, and
in some cases ono half. The Government, after
sending out this commission, has only paid one of
the sufferers, and his claim had been transferred
to the Stato of Geurgia, or that would never, per
haps, have been paid. It may be insisted that
the Government cannot undertake to pay for los
ses sustained by the citizen when a state of war
exists; but let it be remembered that no war wag
ever declared by tbo Creek nation against tho
whites. These depredations were committed by
comparatively small hands of dissatisfied Creeks,
who were also hostiio to a majority of their tribe,
aud determined never to emigrate to tho country
assigned them.
And it is just at this point in the history of
these troubles that a misunderstanding arises as
to the hostilities, whether it was a war or not. It
was not known definitely, at first, how far this
hostile state of feeling existed; but was in the
end well known that at no timo was a majority |
engaged in it. It was undoubtedly a war the
very moment these hostile Creeks agreed to join
Osceola in his rebellion.
The question then made is, will the Govern
ment, after having treated for these lands and the
removal of the Indians, after having sold the same
to its citizens, permit a portion of the tribe to dis
regard the treaty, violate its obligations, murder
the settlers, destroy their property, aud then re
fuse to allow compensation or give redress ?
When these claimants ask the Government to
withhold annuities due tho Creeks, they are met
with the response that that can only be done when
war has existed or the depredations have been
committed in the Indian country proper. Thus
it is, in the first place, they are denied payment
because the whole tribe did not engage in the
hostilities ; and in tho second, because of a legal
technicality.
In no event, however, can a portion of these
claims be denied payment; because the records
of the War Office show that Buch destruction of
property ay owurrad in Georgia, way induced by
the occupation of it by your troops; and that,
too, after the hostiio Creeks had accepted tho in
vitation of tho Seminoles to unite with them ii
their open war against tho United States. SucL
were tbe losses at Roanoke, and iu the adjaeem
countrv ; all of which this Government is in good
faith bound to refund.

Among all preparations for tbe hair that have

Prof. Wood’s Hair Restorative now has. His
Restorative has passed ihe ordeal of innumerable

power of the roots on the denuded places, and
causes the fibres to shoot forth atiew—ihat it dis
solves and removes dandruff, prevents grayness,
restores the hair to its original color when grav

their performances were the theme of universal
admiration for months, at the Broadway lheatro

perfection of their training, make them the most
interesting specimens of tho animal creation that
tho world has ever aeon. All their faculties have

their kind. They stand upon their heads, play
upon musical instruments, ascend inclined planes
