They are likewise said to declare, that they

would be pursued by the Indians; nnJ to

act as circumstances might require. At
present wn believe there is no probability
that uny troops will be called out. The
Indians, if they have the disposition, are
too well aware of their weakness, to at
tempt any other hostilities than the killing

The Celtic Society held their annual

received directions from Col. Crowell, to

Li tile Prince took in theaflsir,the accouuts

The informant of the Messenger, goes
on to state, that at the suinc time a parly ;

u chief, whom tiiey found about twenty-five
miles fr. in lien. M’Intosh. lie was taken
nnd earned to the Muckfsw town and shot.
It is reported that his brother, Benjamin
Hawkins, has also been killed.
The family of Gen. M’Intosh, nnd wife of
Col. Hawkins, assisted by Mr. Bootwright
uud a .Mr. Flournoy, have come over the
Indian boundary, and are now at the place
of Gun. Ware, iu Fayette County. Near-
. ly three hundred other Indians have also
come in for protection, and arc at the same
pluce. About fifty Indians, and two hun
dred whites headed by Gen* Ware, have
gone out to bring iu their cattle aud other
properly.
Ofthe leading cause of tho murder of
Gen. M Intosli there can be no doubt; a
circumstance probably hastened it, which
we give as it lias been related to iim. A
talk was held in presence ofthe Agent, just
before thn murder, at which he informed
4he Indians of the ratification of the Treaty
dy the President of the U.« States, which
they had not before believed. This pro
duced considerable excitement, and Mr.
Crowell was severely blamed by them for
signing the Treaty, at a wilneu. A son
of the Big Warrior proceeding to some

state, that it has been removed from the

follies, and some their incurable imbecility ;
for impotence is radical. Rarely we find u
critic whose extensive piwers are familiar
witli what has been done, and what is doing:
whose sagacity not only discovers the real
abilities of uu author, but, with a prescient
discernment, can judge to what his future
powers may be competent; and by his vig
our ot conception, and delicacy of taste,
exhibit beauties kindred to the fine origin
al he reviews.
Literary journals conducted by an intel
ligent editor, abound with the pleasures
and the utilities of letters; but certainly
with such an editor every Review is not
provided. The personal irritation of men
of genius has depreciated those records of
literature; and such errors have been
strangely propagated, with the additional
<»xtrnvugniicioH of persons not conversant
with literary aflitirs. Borne believe a Re
view to be composed by a junto, who. in
black coats, and with grave faces, assemble
round a hoard of g reen cloth. The interior
of a Review has nothing of its apparent
complexity, the entire machine is revolved
by a solitary hand, sometimes with experi
enced dexterity, nnd sometimes with casual
imbecility.
It is certain that the pleasure of running
over fifty books in an hour, is a voluptu
ous indulgence for every literary idler;
and authors feci a groat curiosity in taking
in at a glance, what is performing by their
contemporaries. To students remote I’roni
cities, it is only by the intermediate aid of
these periodical pages, that they can form
m ncquainlunce wuh the public taste. A
Review is n literary arena, where young
writers, learn to wrestle with their rivals.—
When such is the interest and the sagacity
of a conductor, that some of the literary
characters of this country are invited to
take a share in these works, they receive
an additional imports lice, and form a valu-. ,
able accession to the treasuries of literature. To
Two interests stimulate the writers of Re
views ; the pleasure of examining new pub
lications ; or tlie petty stipend ofliterary pay
too often necessary lor some men of genius
