The Mlliedgevffle Journal of Tuesday, fi ys—*• We are gratified that we have it in our power to relieve the apprehensions of our friend* at a distance in relation ^to the health of Governor Troup, and at the same time to put to rest the innumerable stories that hove been already put into cir culation by Hi* adversaries. Gov. Troup has entirely recovered hi*, health, and is daily engaged in the discharge of his offici al duties." The last National Journal announces the receipt of a letter from Mr. Berrien, in cluding a correspondence between himself and Governor Troup, on the subject of thi charge against the Attorney Genoral. The Governor, it appears, says the Journal, ** misunderstood both the teuor and object” of Mr. Bts. observations, By the following letter copied from the Georgia Patriot, it appears that General Gaines has determined to suspend his pub lic communications until after tho election- The General tells us that this determina tion is made in consequence of the asser tion that he has attempted to meddle with the political affairy of the state, with a view to the coming election. This determina tion .Would hare been Wise before the pub- tion of his three last letters. It now comes too late. Whether the general has or has not co-operated with .the Clark party in this state, we. shall not enquire; but the feasts given to him by that party for his " public services ”—his constant associa tion with them; his transmission of his lot tery-through them to Goncral Clark’s own pren and no other; his personal attacks upon Governor Troup, in one of which he refers to the Yaaoo question, die. &c. have induced the majority of the people to be lieve him'so, and to continue in that belief. The Genoral says it is an untruth that he has co-operated to “ break the late treaty.” But what has been the direct tendency of his publications ( Why the repeated asser tions that forty-nine fiftieths of the Creek nation are opposed to it,'by which not only has the survey been ordered to be suspend ed, but the determination nas been adopted to refer the treary to Congress ? But above all, what arc we to understand by the letter of the General to tho Governor of Alabama, in which he asserts that “ there is too much reason for their (the opponents of the treaty) objections to the mnnner in which the trea ty was made that it was concluded by “ not much more than one fiftieth part of the Creek nation, headed by M'Intoeh. with no other but very ordinary chiefs and horse We aro gratified to find by tho Milledge-j thoy work, and as it progresses dosert them I whethor the people of Georgia with similar villo popers that-Messrs.

It is introduced by the following remarks: Gentlemen:—1 hove lately seen mid conversed with gentleman from almost, every county in the Elute and have made particu lar enquiry as to the probablo result of the election for Governor.—I. have taken the statements of both patrieB, and from them have made the following calculation, which I think may be considered ub generally cor rect. There is hot little doobt in my own mind, but that Governor Troop will be re elected, as the result of my enquiries gives him the majority at this time, and from all ports of the state there is news of his gain- ,n B ground.

We arrived at tho latter after dark, took supper, went to hod nnd very enrly next morning took a rumble through tho placo. There is more stir nod bustle and appear ance of business here, than in any place I hove been in since we loft New York— There are a great many mills of various kinds turned by tho Genessoc River, which flows through the town, and a number of manufactories. The canal enters tho town on a noble acqueduct of free stone, over tho Gonessee river, seven hundred und fifty feet long, of solid and elegant ninsonary.— tho place is but fifteen years old, and it now contains near 'live thousand inhabits ids. many handsome houses, stores, churches. the mnjorUwt only which it is supposed the | al)( | jt jg Boi( | u w j|| beenmo olio of the candidates willnbtaitiiiithnreapectiveconn-1 , ,, - . ties, have been put down.

They expect to have it completely finished by the 20th Sept, but in my opinion, if boats pas* this season, it will bo Very late. Altogether the workB at Lockport are such ss to astonish the ttaveller. Dr.C. of Savan nah, whom wc moj at Utica, remarked that in his opinion, thoy were of as much magni tude as the Pyramids of Egypt, On Friday, 19th, at 0 o’clk wo left Lock- port in a woggdn (the road being too rough for coaches) to cross 6 miles of portage and arrived at the Canal boat in an hour. Af ter embarking we proceeded 5 miles per hour towards Black Rock, where wo arriv ed about 3 P. M. During our sail wo pass- td through 12 miles of Tonawunta Creek mhich'is dammed op and made a part of tho Canal. Thera is an extensive harbor and basin attached to tho Cunnl at Black Rock, but until tho Canal is finished below, it is bill little used. Wo saw but little of this place merely passing through it. We took cuaclt here to Buffalo on the shores of Luke Erie, where wc arrived to a late dinner. There is a fine harbor here protected by an Island in front. There were however, but fow vessels in port.— The inhabitants aro sanguine in their, ex pectation of its ranking as the second city of the Stale in a fow years, and consequent ly property is very high. .

I have exerted niyselfto convince, the principal child's of the nation opposed to the treaty, nf the ex pediency of their acquiescing in it.

Here the few drops of wa ter of the Genessee that eeeape the mills on its banks, tumble over a precipice one hundred feot high, its bed of solid rock be ing suddenly broken off. After viewing tho town, at half-past eight, A. M. we took the canal boat for Lockport, sixty-four miles, whore, after a passage through an uncultivated and generally wild looking country, we arrived next morning, tilth inst. at six o’clock. Tho canal water wns very low for some distance, and our boat was continually robbing. From the injury done tlio banks bv washing, they intend facing them at the water’s edge with stone, the whole way through, which is already dotio in ninny places. At Lockport we were much surprised at tlio singular ap pearance of tho best public bouse, called i ihe cottage, which was recommended to us. | nor for some time could bo convinced wn had not made a mistake. It was the first house built in the place ant! is made oflogs, one story, with several log rooms of sundry shapes and sizes—a room having been add ed at different times, as business incrcasetl. all perfectly run. It. The other house is s good looking building enough, but far be low this ns regards comfort aud attendance. The most Herculean labor yet met with in digging the canal, is at Lockport, the length of time consumed in which, created the vil lage. Just at this placo there is a hill of solid rock, on which the town is built, near ninety feet high, up which the canal is car ried by five double locks, for boats to go up and down at the same time. For three miles from these locks tho canal is dug through a perfectly hard nutl solid rock of lime stone. We walked up thetowpntli to where tho labourers were still at work. The walls the greater port of the way, are as smooth as mason work, and generally about thirty feet high, and tho tow path is also cut out of the rock. I wondered at men having the courage to undertake so la borious a work, and when commenced, ul their patience and perseverance in carrying it through. The same time and labor used hero, bestowed on Georgia, would give her canals from one extreme to the other. Tho whole-of Hiib work is done by blasting, and when you see how slow this is done, you most wonder how they have ever -got so far. There was about one hundred aud sixty mop at work here, some cutting the holes with long iron bars sharp at tho end, others charging them with pow- der, some removing tbe loose piecee of rock, and others pumping out the water. Acci dents frequently occur in blasting, and I do not wonder, for the workmen merely retire a few steps and cooly watch the fragments as they fall.

Reports of a painful nnd mortifying char acter, have lately reached us from your countv—whethor true or not, I am unable to say—that there should have keen the most remote cause for such apprehensions, is humiliating indeed.
