TO TI1E EDITORS OF THE OEOnOIAN.
MUedgerUh, 25IA May, 10i25.
Both branches of the Legislature were
yesterday-organized, ami proceeded to bu
siness. The Governor’s Messsgo was soon
after received, and little else has been done
than reading the message and the volumin
ous documents accompanying it. In the
House of Representatives, the matter of
tho Lands was referred to a committee, to
which a committee has been added by the
Senate. I understand alBO, that the sub
ject of General M'Inlosli’s death has been
referred to n Committee. In relation to
the disuosition of the Lands, it appears to
me, that if thpre had before been any doubt,
it has been removed ; the old system will
be adopted. I think, however, that larger
reservations will be made than formerly—
various plans aro proposed for reserving
something for the stnte ; that which will
probably succeed is the reservation of every
tenth lot and the fractions.
TO TUB TDITOHI OF THE OEOnOIAN.
MilMgcville, ioth May, 1825.
Having arrived here much indisposed, I
can avail mvseif of a moment on'y to say.
that tho Governor’s Message received by
the Assembly, approves the distribution of
our Land hy the lottery Bystem, and that
there i? not the smallest hope of avoiding
•itch a result. A motion has been mnde in
the house for the appointment of a commit
tee, to report on the exnediency of remo
ving the Darien Bank from the city of Da
rien to this place; which committee will
probably ho appointed to-day. The Com-
the Governor of Alabama are submitted.
Our claims to the lauds occupied hy the
Chcrokces within our limits, as well as those
on account of Indian depredations, provided
for by tho first treaty at the Indian Springs,
are adverted to only to inform you nftlie ac
ton! state of those interests, and for this pur
pose the various papers connected with them
are laid beiiire you. ,
Since you were Inst in session mnch of
anxiety and concern have been manifested
for ail the interests connected with the Bank
of Darien. The origin of the excitement
and consequent depreciation ofthe paper of
that Institution may he considered iit sub
jects of investigation—'The report of a com
mittee appointed to examine the slate of its
affairs having been revieweil and adopted
by you, left at the cIosb of the session the
solvency of the Bank indisputable. Wh in
on a subsequent occasion it became neces
sary forthe F.xecutive to pasB an order con
nected with this depreciation, and the ad
ministration of tho finances, I did not hes
itate so to act, as to conform the order both
to your expressed opinion slid tho practice
of the Trensury. As no chnngo had been
made in tho condition of the institution, I
would suffer none to bn mnde in the pay
ments and receipts of its bills at the Trea
sury until you should order otherwise, and
whilst I would not permit any measure to
be taken which would be construed into
depreciation at the Treasury, I would suffer
none that would have the least offqct to
embarrass tho operations of the other in
stitutions, and this was the more proper be
cause the difficitltie of the one institution
might be ascribable in some degree to re
missness or indiscretion in the management
for which it was certainly not entitled to fa
vor. whilst the operation at the Treasury
srill continued favorable to it, inasmuch as
the receipts and payments being confined to
Darien bills, and the receipts exceeding tile
payments there would be a constant accu
mulation of such hills and consequently a
subst raction to that amount from tho cir
culation of the country
In every other stnte of the Union where
bank credit lias been sustained, these insti
tutiuns mutually aid and assist each other,
and by harmonious co-operation maintain

Although it is seen plainly that the Lit
tle Prince has and did pledge himself as our
father that no hostilities were intended,
and all property, taken bhnuld be restored,
he has (although so pledging himself) from
good authority, ordered and decreed that
our principal Chiefs amongst ns should be
murdered (and that in a cruel manner) and
our property all destroyed ; such treatment
as this is not usual from the farther to his
children ; at least it authorises us not to ac-
acknowlodge him as our father, and shall
receive no more of bi- J talks—we have re
ceived many other talks from him to the
same amount; and that, we were alarmed
lor nothing, and all the fuss which hod her n

had taken place with a few drunken Indl
ane which acted foolish ; that we should

he wanted, and nothing but harmony should
exist; for u.s to come to our families and
plant our corn. Now like hogs and sheep

“ Both houses are occupied with the

would be ot a loss to say what is the mu9t
general subject of conversation here—unless
it were cotton.
“ You may, I think, consider thn newly
Required territory as already distributed by

are not ten men in cither house, who would
have independence enough to vote against

And it is very droll too, that such a law as
that should exist, and that tho National
Clerk and none of us should should have a-
ny knowledge of it; we have been in the
habit of meeting all councils that concern
the nation, as much so ns any other Chiefs
of tho nal ion, and if such a Inw had been
made, we should have known it. Wo un
derstand that there was a decree of that
kind passed by the Big Warrior and ms
friends at a place called the Pole-Cat-
Springs, which is about fifty miles west of
Broken Arrow. Broken Arrow is the cap
ital of the nation, where all business of n
public nature is transacted—therefore as
that meeting was one which was not order
ed at the capital, and not a general one, il
could only subject those who were present
It is right for us to Btato that our friend
Tome TuBtunnuggee was present nnd sign
ed the decree—hut we have often heard him
■ay that lie did know tho contents when he
made his mark, or he should not have done
so—And as tjjr Gen. M’Intosh ever signing
or sanctioning any such a law, we declare
it to bo false; for when he was told of it.
