The Appeal., No. vi, is necesaarily omit- ted this day, to make room for the energetic letters of Gov. Troup, to the President. Of these letters we will sny but a word— they contain many facts highly interest ing to the people—thoir caustic severity is such as Genaral Gaines, or any other man (nay well writhe under. In our report of the proceedings of Coun cil on Saturday, in refercnco to tho exis tence of varioloid in Charleston, we were sot perhaps sufficiently explicit. The attention of Council was called to it by a resolution of the Board of Health, re commending the Mayor and Aldermen to adopt efficient measures to prevent the in troduction of that disease into this city. Tim extract of a letter purporting to be from Charleston,was submitted to Council among other testimony, after the resnultiun of the Board of Health had been received, and discussed. Governor Troup hns issued his procla mation offering a reward of one hundred and fifty dollars for the apprehension of Isaiah Thompson, accused of a wanton vio lence on the body of a negro man named Ben, which caused his death. The Election.—We learn from the Georgia Journal that since the President has determined to refer the late Creek trea ty back to Congress, the people of Laurens county have determined to lay aside all their old contentions, and give a nearly un animous vole for “ Troup ami the Treaty." We have a letter before ua which saya. V Taoup will get a majority of one- hundred and fitly in Seriven.” This county lias been set down in a statement recently pub lished (giving a majority throughout the atate of two thousand for Ttoup) at fifty fir Clark. The Mobile Commercial Register, of the 2d inst. says, ." we have delayed our paper aeveral hours waiting for the report of the Board ofllralth. The board has handed Id tho following for publication ” "The Board of Health together with the |ty of the Faculty of Mobile, conscious that there are existing in this city several Cases of malignant fever take the first op. pnrrunity to warn the inhabitants thereof, and advise all who can to move from the city ’’ The Register of the 9th instant, states, that l he ci'.y is a'most deserted. The deal hs during the week, by the fever, were from' twenty-five to thirty. j Several cases of the fever had occurred (n New-Orleans.

Gen. Gaines immediately comes to tlie conclusion that his assent was never given. The admission, of free communication with the lndiuns to every other description of persona, and the denial of it to the Geor- § ia Commissioners, was a further ftrong one to Georgia.

Pray, sir. suffer me to askv if Major Gen. Gninos received special instructions at your bunds, so to deport himself?—to pry into tho state of parties, to find out the relative strength of them ; to place himself on the side of the strongest, giving to it aid. coun tenance und cn operation, und from this strong hold, to issue insolent anathemas against the other through the Governor of tile slate? thus directly intermoddling in our local, politics, and availing himself of our unhappy divisions to make the exaspe rations of party yet more bitter. General Guinea will not permit us to mistake him. He proceeds to call the particular party io which he is opposed,the "one side s enlight ening c)<ien|"in another placo he calls them “the email class."—The opportunities of Gnu. Gaines to inform himself of the Btate of parties in Georgia have been, no doubt, much better than mine, which have, indeed, been very limited 1 but. I have more gener ally beard from men bolter informed, that tho relative strength of parties was some what different from tho General’s estimate of it: he stems to have adopted the same rule of enumeration, under lie same optical delusion as in measuring the strength ol the Indian parties, and to have arrived at the very gratifying conclusion, that the numer ical strength was in the proportion of fifty to one—undoubtedly a very incorrect con clusion. This officer took umbrage at my request to permit, the Commissioners on the part of the State, to act in friendly concert with him. in making his investigations for tlip discovery of troth ; why lie did so, I cannot conjecture. This, however, was passed by without notice, as was iiis subsequent refit snl to admit them to a participation of the Councils, in matters involving tho interests of Georgia.

In the several conferences held with Gen. Goines on his first arrival, I received repea ted assurances from him of friendly disposi tions, of upright intentions, of freedom from all kind of bins nr prejudice which could mislead his judgment or influence his de cision on any oftlie topics which, in the ex edition of his twist, might present them selves for discussion; relying implicitly on tho sincerity of those declarations. I began with regarding Gotiornl Gaines as an hon orable and disinterested arbiter between the U.

The day before yesterday I received your' letter, in which yoj sav General Gaines having informed you that the treaty having t been obtained by intrigue and treachery, it will be refeved to Congress for reconsidor- linit. Gen. Gaines tells the Indinnsthat no treaty has ever yet been annulled—yon say this treaty shall be made an exception to all others, and upon the information received from Gen Gaines. heads or ears of citizens of Georgia, wlio , b > w riling'and publishing them ii-a*,llia*Jb f ? happened toofl'ond him, rb if you had given —’•* 1 — ts-.i him his sword for this special service.
