On motion of Mr hrvin. it was Hesolin'd, That the judiciary committee be instructed to inquire if any and what amendments are necessary in the “copy right laws," in relation to suits brought 111 Tie courts of the United States between •citizens of the same state. Mr VL Moore offered the following mo- Ti«n: Resolved. That the committee an milita ry affairs be instructed to inquire into the expediency of granting a bounty in land to tiie soldiers who enlisted twelve men tils previous to the late war, ami who served out tneperiods of their enlistments and pro, .ired ;heir honorable discharges; end if. the heirs and legal representatives of •th.is , having so enlisted, who were killed in U.ittlo or died iu the service of their •con .try Ami on tiie question of adopting the re- rsoluuon. it was decided in -the negative. The bouse toon resumed tiie -considera tion of the resolution, submitted by Mr. .Snukinw, on the 7*1. in-t. which was auien- tdnd loxeld as follows, and adopted: Jlesr*v:i, That the secretory of thr *cd, and. nut being able ta perceive that any good would grow oflt of this bill, if passed, he moved that the committee rise; private, ot land* northwest of the river Ohio, ami purchase money nf which lias not been 'aliy paid; the respective years in which such sales have taken place; the cre dits given nn such sales; the sums wiiich have been paid thereon: those which are now due, and ihe periods at which they be came so; whether any instalments are yet to fall due, and to what amount: Also what descriptions if paper have been recei red; and what is now receivable in p iy merit for said lands. The engrossed bill, concerning widow to recommit too bill, which was negatived ayes 67, noes 77, the bill was pa'sed and sent to the senate for concurrence. The house resolved itself into a cointr.it tee of the whole, Mr. Nelson in the i ln on tiie bill, reported at the iast »ess: “fur the admission of Cadets into tiie mil itary academy;” [directing that in ail a| plications for the admission of Cadets in 1 , the military academy at West Point, a pr liTrare shall be given to the sons of ofli cers anti soldiers who were killed in bat tie, or who died in the military service u the United State* in the late war; and that a lurther preference shall be given to tlio least able t« educate themselves, and best qualified for the military profession.] Mr. Smith, of Md‘ moved to amend the hill by striking wit the last clause, direct ing“a further ‘‘preferreticc to he given to those least able to “educate themselves and best qualified (or the “inillitary pro l-ssion,” remarking that he saw no reason fur the preference, and until he beaid something convincing in favor of the di crimination, he should remain of opinion tli.it it ought to he stricken Irom the bill Ac. Mr.Strothcr addressed the committee at considerable length, in opposition to me object of the bill, urging chiefly that it was sanctioning a preference of a particu lar profession, and thus creating a privi leged order in the community; that it was virtually declaring an unnecessary jeal ousy of the discretion now vested in the war department implying au opinion tha it was not exercised properly; and would moreover preclude it from selecting the most fit and most worthy; and was per- 0,l<: verting the true object of the institution which was established for the general ben efit, etc. Messrs. Harrison and Johnson of Ky. repli.d to the objections of Messrs Smith and Strother; stating that the bill had b*-en icpoited in pursuance of a resolutio adopted on the motion of a late distin guished member of tfii6 l.ousc (Mr. Robert son, of Louisiana); that the provisions ol the bill appeared to he required by the original purpose of the institution; that instead oi creating an aristocracy, it vvouid tend to counteract any such thing as tli objects to be selected were Irom that class of the community whose pecuniary cir cumstances repressed any tendency to werdsundue influence, Ac. ij‘c. The question on Mr. Smith’s motion was decided in the negative. Mr. Taylor observed, that, notwithstan ding what had been said in defence of tlii bill, its effect was certainly to create > privileged order in the country, that though the selection proposed might bi expedient and laudable to a certain extent, tiiere was no doubt that the department now vested with the selection vvou.d keep in view, as Isras was proper, the principle proposed: but it vvouid in his opinion be highly improper fur congress by a formal act to sanction sueii a distinct.on. In lieu therefore of the provisions at present proposed by the bill, ire moved the follow ing, as a substitute. “ That Cadets shall hereafter be admitted into the military icaderoyat W est Point, from the respec tive sti.tes and territories, and from the district of Columbia in proportion to tiie militia returns thereof.” Mr. Harrison again protested against the assertion that this bill fostered a par ticular order of men." it might as well be said that the charitable appropriations for Sunday schools established a privileged order;—it was 110 such thing—the hill pro posed a benefit to he bestow ed chiefly on ilu* poor descendants of those vv ho had served their country, etc. Mr. Taylor replied, that if there were Sunday schools to he paid for out of tin- public treasury, as this academy was paid ioi, jie 'lioujd object, as lie did now, to its expenditure for a particular class: lie should wish, in such a case, the benefit to be general, as lie did in this. Mr Southard combatted the idea that this drill went to establish any aristocracy; it would have the contrary effort, by giv ing to the poor their portion of the benefits of an institution now confined chiefly to the rich,-who sent their *ons there to be educated tree of expcnce, etc. Mr. Harrison reiterated his objections to the amendment, and observed in ad- titii.n to what he had submitted already, hat the design of tiiis bill was really to get r.d of a practical aristocracy, instead >f creating one—for it was a fact, he be lieved, that no son of a soldier, (by tiie in lie meant not also to include officers,) had ever yet been educated at the militaij academy. Mr. U. then stat-. d, that it Mr. I'avlor-s amendment should prevail, he would move to add the Following: “And that in ail eases the preference be given to those whose parents arc least able to edu- ate them:" and intimated that he should beu move an additional section requiring cadets to remain ot toe academy until the e of Co years. Mr. Cla-v prefaced the motion he rose to make, by observing, 1a reply to the eppon- nts of the bill, that it was a new tiring to hear of an aristocracy ol the poor: lie boul.l not be sorry to see something like uth an aristocracy, but be did not think me bill would be pioductive ol that or anv doer valuable elf. rt. Believing that lilt election might be very well left with tin secretary of war, in whom it was now ves- repnrt progress, and then let the house get rid ill the whole subject. . This mnfion'prevailcd, and, the hill be ing reported to the house, the committee was refused leave to sit again; and the bill was laid on the table. The house adjourned. IN SENATE. Friday, December 11 Mr. Tail, from Georgia, appeared to day and took his seat. "Mr. Tait presented the memorial of tl legislature of the territory of Alabama, pe turning fur permission to form a constitu turn and state government, and to be ad milled into the union on an equal footing with the original states; which meraoria was referred to a select committee, coni posed of Messrs.Tait, Morrow. Williams ■ f Mississippi, Edwards, and \V illiams, ot Tennessee, with instructions to brio ;n a bill pursuant to the prayer ot the me .norial. Mr. Eppcs, from the committee on I nance, reported the bill from the house epresentatives,making a partial appropri 1 lion for the military service for 1819. and the hdl was then read the third tune, and passed by general consent The engrossed bill to settle the account nf James Wilde, was read the third tim passed and sent to the other house, and The senate adjourned to Monday. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. Mr. Williams made a favorable report on the petition of colonel Isaac Clark, ar coinpanied by a bill for the relief of coin nel Clark,and the officers and soldiers un der his cmnmind at the time of making an inroad into the country of the enemy dar ng the late war; which was twice read mil committed. Mr. Poinilexter made a report, recom mending the rejection of the prayer ot the petition of the general assembly nf tli 'tale of Illinois, respecting the settlers on certain public lands in tiie district ol •Shawneetown; which was concurred in. Mr. Poindexter also reported a bill ex planatory of the act “for the final adjust ment of land titles in the stale ol Lous> ana ami territory of Missouri;” which was twice read and committed. On motion of Mr. Williams, 0! Con necticut, the committee on pensions and revolutionary claims were instructed to enquire inio the expediency ot p’oviding by law for the pay ment ol pensions,w hen the pensioner, by reason ol ins.nity or other cause, is legally incapable of perlonniir the acts necessary to entitle him to receive the same. On motion of Mr. Robertson the proper committee were instructed to enquire into llie expediency of establishing a direct post road from Lexington, Eeutucky, by way of the Burnt Tavern, to Lancaster, Kentucky. On motion of Mr. Barber, the commit tee on public lands were instructed to en quire into the expediency of procuring the field notes and plats of "the reserved sec- iions within the Ohio company’s purchase, On motion of Mr. Walker, of North Carolina, the committee on post offices were instructed to enquire iuto the expe- liency of establishing a post road from Haywood c»urt house, by Waynesville, North Carolina, to Houstonville, South Carolina. On motion of Mr. Simkins, the commit tee on tiie subject of revolutionary p n ions were instructed to enquire how lar it nay he expedient to amend the law, pass ed during the first session of the fifteenth emigre;*, granting pensions to revulutiona- •y officers and soldiers, so as to prevent muds in the reception of pensions by pre tended agents, of, and in the names of, tensioners, who shall have died, alter hav ng, once, or oftener, received their pen nons. REDUCTION OF TIIF. ARMY. Mr. Williams, of North Carolina, after ecalling the recollection of the house to the fact, that, at the session before the hist, lie had proposed a resolution for the re luctiou of the army, announced his inten tion to renew that proposition. He yet thought tiie measure necessary. In all tree countries that standing armies are danger ous to liberty, was a truth generally 3(1- tted, and in this country particularly, solemnly recognize d. In this belief, lie hail grown up; in tins belief he bad lived, iis opinion as to the expediency of ie- icing our presenlmilitarj force, remained .•altered by the tlieevents which had elap sed since he before suggested it—lie might y, lie added, it had been confirmed.— He had not thought proper at the last ses- on to introduce this resolution. He had waited in the hiqie that some gentleman better qualified to sustain it should make be motion: in that hope, he had so far wai ted at the present session. No one having mlertaken what he now conceived his duty, he moved, “That the committee on military af fairs he instructed to enquire into the cx- pediency of renucing the army ol the Uni ted Stales.” Mr. W. not wishing to hurry the motion, it was at his request, ordered to lie on the table. The bill for authorizing thesetlement of the accounts ol James \\ ilde, and the re solve tor a survey of the coast oi North Carolina, etc. were received from the sen- W.vsfiiVGTOv City, Dee. 12. TIIF. M1UTU. In puruuance of a resolution of the sen ate, at its’fast session, requiring lr*>m the department of war statements of the strength and organization n r the militia ot- the U. States, end of the militia laws <>! the several states, a report has been trans mitted t’ tliat body by Mr. Secretary Cal hnun, from the adjutant general nf the U States. We are sorry to find, from the re port, that the returns are generally very defective, where returns are received, but tliat in some cases no returns at all hav* been received at the war department; al though letters were, addressed, -peciallv requesting returns to be made, and the re quest was made a second time to those who had failed to attend to it in the first in stance. From Vermont, from Delaware, from Georgia, from Tennessee, from Indi ana, from Mississippi, and from Michigan and Alabama territories, no returns have been received. From Maryland and S. Car olina, returns have been received of the militia laws, fiut not of the 'trengtli of the militia; from Virginia, the strength of the 11 ilitia has been returned, hut not the militia laws. From Louisiana, Illinois and Missouri, the effective strength, Lu nut the organization of tiie iniiiiia. is re turned. “Letters have been received, says the adjutant and inspector general “from the adjutants general nl'S. Caio'in “Maryland, Mississippi amt Delaware, st “ting that it is not in their power to repm “the organization and strength of the mill “tm of thcii states,comforinahly to there “olution. The adjutant general of Vi “ginia reports, that their militia Uws 11 “so distributed through the several acts «t “assembly, that a digest cannot readily “made.” From sucli defective materials, it is ob vious that much valuable information can not be gleaned. We have official evidence indeed, that the militia system is wretch ediy defective; but that we knew too well before. The returns made to the department o war, loose as they are, exhibit the follow ing result: Massachusetts, 70.736 New-Hampshire, 25,794 Khnde-I.riand, 8,550 Connecticut, 20.575 Vermont, No return New-York, 112,586 New-Jersey, 35,169 Pennsylvania, 118,018 Delaware, No return Miry land, Noietum Virginia, 85.7.>8 Nin th Carolina, 50,587 South Carolina.

REPORT Of the State Commissioners to the Executive, re lative to the Boundary between ibis State and the Creek Indians. iniliam Iiabun, Governor, £$c. of the State of Georgia. Sin—The honorable Wilson Lumpkin, United States commissioner Tor deter mining the lines of the Creek lands, treat ed for by genera! Mitchell, in January u the present year, having notified us, that he should leave Milledgeville on the 20th ult‘ for the purpose of visiting the south- ru tract, and designating the boundary between that part of the state and the In dians, we accompanied him to Furt-IIaw- kins. The route by Fort-Hawkius was adopted, that be inigirt obtain necessary explanation from tiie agent, arrange tne attendance of tne Indian commissioners, an in'erpreterand a military escort. These dispositions being effected, we left F’oi t- Hawkins for Hartford, which place we reached nn Monday 23d lilt, ami were there letained until Friday, the Indian deputa tion not presenting themselves to accom pany us before that time. Receiving no intelligence from our escort, it was resolv ed to jiursue our course down the Ocniul- gee.without them, leaving directions fur them to follow us. We crossed the river about 27 mites below Hartford, piloted by major Cothran, a gentleman minutely ac quainted with the country we were about investigating. Progressing about 8 miles further down, brought us to a creek, which the Indians bad been accustomed to cJi the Al-ca-sak-a-li-kie, and on which t .e whites, who explored the country some years back.appeared to have bestowed the name of Biguouse creek. This stream, from its position, bearings, length and di- rection'ot its piongs, and indeed in mo t I it* localities and natural circui istanres, presents a striking correspondence with the signification of it* Indian name,* the • Al-ca sa-ka h*ie, signifies, *»e are informed, -a ketlie bo.In.g in a creek"—and theercek call- • d b) Ilu whiles, Higiiurax, has several spring?, 1 is.n;: lr n. timesione cavities, ntarly circular, ub cl. nr.bating torrents of gas, present a striking le.iu.blaiice to a large kettle in a sU'.e of ebub- IU.ll. imp forir arded from the war (lcjTMlment, anil with the ageiit's description, “the first considerable creek, abore Black shear’s read.” given in conversation with the United States commissioner, anil still more particularly in his communication to the executive nfiGeorgin, nnder date Fe bruary 3d, 1818. Though these enjnei- dvnees, and an accumulation ol evidence derived from the most respectable sources, tint this creek, had been commonly men tioned by the Indian* os the Al-ca-sak-a- li-Lie, left no doubt in our own minds of this being tiie identical crcrk contemplated in the treaty, yet it was judged eligible to arrnnipai!y the Indian commissioners to the one, which tliev were instructed to designate, on the present occasion. They at length conducted us to a sma'l water course, about 5 miVs belmv Blackslicar’t road, presenting more the jip|ioarencc of a gully, or branch-, Ilian a considerable erre L. and bearing so imicli down the riv er, that a line passing by its head must in tersect the Ocmulgce from 10 to 12 milet below the before mentioned road, and in formed us that this was the Al-va-sak-a- li-kie. A* a line passing by any point ol this creek would completely defeat the ob jects ot the purchase, and its position flat ly contravened the agent's criterion of ‘•the first considerable creek above BlackJ* shear's load,” and had nothing to vustaijs it, but the assertion ot two Indians, it was necessarily rejected, and alter a careful examination and research concerning the intermediate water-courses, wc return to the real Al-ca-sak-ll li-kie. The morn ing on vvhi' h we prepared to ascend this creek, the Indians took a friendly leave, alledging they should subject themselves to severe punishment, if they countenanc ed our proceilings by their presence. We traced the windings of the cicek to its head, distant from the mouth, measuring along the course about 20, and in a direct line, probably about 1-1 or 15 mile*. Af ter the neres-aiy preparations were made,*! the line was run and effectually marked from the .head of Al-ca-sak-a-li-kie to the Ocmulgce—the course north 33 east, the Hist nice nine & a fourth miles, striking the river about 18 miles below Hartford— ut this point, cons deiing the remarkable circumstance that the Indian guard, which was pcomised lor on: piotcetiun, had not made their appearance, that our provi sions were nearly exhausted, and that in 30 or 40 miles of our toute, there was no reasonable |iros|iect of meeting with wa- 1 1, the United Slates’ commissioner, with our concurrence, determined to postpone alien-.;,ting the residue ol the line for a -tltn t period. urlil. he cenlil make «r- r nigements, which must ensure its com pletion.
