Colson, it will be recollected, was confined for the murder of Flake, as related by ub some time ago. Colson’s two brothers, and one Lancaster, were im prisoned for aiding the escape.

From the M illodgeville Journal, TO THE PUBLIC. Governor Troup and some of his suppor ters have of hue thought proper to arraign my conduct at the bur of public opinion.— Happily for my country and for me, I live where none are so high as to disregard the summons. I rejoice, however, that I am not accountable to Gov. Troup, but to a government which will do ine justice in spite of his aspersions, and to a people who will nut be governed by his malice or enmity. As it regards my own security, I should think it unnecessary to address the people at this time, but I think something due to memvy, OTTO go to life settlement for chnnge. At the time the an nuity was paid to the Nation in 182-2, the Agent, John Crowell, again paid affthe Na tion ill fifty & hundred dollar bills, and when the Chiefs asked him for change, he said his brother was provided with change or small hills, and at the same time cautioned the Chiefs against counterfeits, and said there were a great many counterfeit hills and many suspicious persons tib-uit, but that the change his brother hud was genuine— The Chiefs after receiving their respective amounts allowed their town, went to Air. Thomas Crowell, the Agent’s brother, mid asked him to change their money ; lie told them, the Chiefs, (myself acting as interpre ter) that he would give the Chiefs of tlio town each five dollars in cash, but that the balance of the money must bo Inid out in goods. Some of tile Chiefs agreed to do so, but others refused, and went off to those who bought his goods in order to make a division to his town, ho charged 31 j centa per yard. Gen. M’Intosh had goods there, and sold homespun at 31J cents per. yard. 1 can further state, that I wus I he interpre ter when J.Crowell told the Chiefs that his brother Henry Crowell who lives nt the Agency, wanted to muke fields on the West side of Flint River, and said the land on the Al’Iut.osli’s feasting, on all the cattle they j the state of Georgia, in which I have resi- ean find, hogs, &c. belonging to the friend- j ded many years, u»d more still to the many ly party.

'Id l 'rty, 1825, Sir—Yesterday Chilly McIntosh, son of the General, and bearer of this, c.-inie witii other chiefs to announce the death of his father. On tiie night of the 29th till- whilst reposing in his bed the savages hosti e to the treaty in great numbers, beset and tired the house, and this chieftain whose virtues would have 5,j D ... .11 , . i aim mis cult 1 uii'i wiiubu vinuifl \xjiiki iiid i - e ns wore out, and he could not (honored any country perished by the flames rna ko a pupport on it; but Ins brother said t or the tomahawk The old chief* of Coweta to nun that lie did not want to clear a field for the Georgians, and he, the Agent, ask ed the Chiets if they intended shortly to part with the lands—The Big Warrior re plied, (at the some time laughing) that he, the Agent need not be afruid that the Na tion would shortly sell their lands to Geor gia- I have since understood from the Head Chiefs, that no direct permission was gran ted to the Agent or his brothers to clear a field on the West side of the River, but the the Agent’s brother has a large field on the West side oi the River, and has rented out all tho fields on the reserve. I remain your humble servant, SAMUEL HAWKINS, Of the Creek Nation, Sinco the late Treaty, I have been told by a number ofthe Chiefs of this Nation that Hainley, the Agent’s Interpeter, (dur ing the time tho United Statos Commission ers were endeavoring to effect a treaty at Fort Mitchell) came to the square and told the Chiefs early in the morning, that the Agent had sent him to tell them what the Commissioners would have to say to them, and it was the Agent’s wish thut they all should be of one mind, and answer the Commissioners as they had promised him (the Agent) by saying " we have no more land for sale.” 1 had omitted to state to you a fact which heretofore haH been unusual in our transac tions with the United States. In the year 1022, when the Agent was about paying who was pursued with the same venge nce and for the samf objects perished with him. The crime of McIntosh and Tustun ggee is to he sought in the wise and magnanimous conduct which at the Indian Springs pro duced the treaty of the j2th of February' and which in making a concession of their whole country, satisfied the just' claims of Georgian, reconci ed the state to the Fed eral Government and made happy at least in prospect ihe condition of the Creeks. When by the last of his generous actions he had given his consent m union with his council to the survey and appropriation of the country, only to gratify the wishes of the Georgians, and was on the eve of depar ture to explore the new home where the future fortunes of a 1 were to abide, he met the stroke ofthe assassin, and the bravest of his race fel by the hands of the most trea cherous and cowardly. The guilty authors of this massacre, it will be for you to detect and punish- 1 have done my duty. You wil. soon re d in my official corres pondence with your government the Indi ans and the commissioners, the beginning, the progress and he end of this frightful tragedy, in which the catastrophe was fore seen, of which ever and anon the Govern ment of the Uni ed States was distinctly forewarned, which y the breath of its nos trils might have been averted, but which was not averted.

An Agent from the government of the United Slates is now here, ' omniissione.il with full powers to examine into all tho circumstances con nected with it nnd report to his government. This is the correct course, and I do not fear the result. I do not imitate Governor Treup nnd some of Ins violent partisans in their man ia of accusation. They seem determined that the responsibility of M’Intosh’s dentil, shall full on the shoulders of white men— Let them beware, the people know the agi tation produced by a guilty conscience They will not mistake Governor Troup’s contortions for the movements of innocence —His rage cannot prevent them from en- [Uiring into his own proceedings in this matter,they will bring him to a tearful reck oning. and his cmisnrics, among the Indi ana, will not be able to conceal live excite ment, caused bv his improper interference in the affairs of the Creek Natipn. With regard to the death of M’Intosh. I am unwilling for the people to be without the menus of judging of its cause. I therefore offer at this time, the following papers—they are sufficient to satisfy all un prejudiced minds, and are I think as little as my friends could be expected to justify mein offering. They at least will be sat isfied that I do not rest quietly under the imputation of so foul a deed. JOHN CUtoWELL. June 3d, 1825.

YVe determined to put him to deathfor a vi lotion of a law first proposed by him and sanctioned by the Big Warrior and Little Prince—and then the different towns were called up and lawyers, who hail been previ ously made, by M’Intosh, Big Warrior and Littln Prince, were directed to put into ex ecution this law against any Chiof or other person who broke it however groat he might be even, Big YVarrier, Little Prince or M’- IntoflQ.
