Tho grain, though not so well donned, ho cstccmB to be of superior quality to that produced in Georgia and South Carolina. Those who call will judgo for them selves. According to tho statement made to tho Legislature by tho Ilauk of tho Stato of South Carolina, it appears that tho OfDco of Discount and Deposit in that city is debtor to it. FYom the statement of tho Committee, it appears, that on tho 1st of January, 182S, tho Rank of tho Stato was the debtor of tho office of Discount and Deposit, in tho largo sum of §12*1,000 On tho 1st of of the succeeding month, 10,000 On tho 1st of March, the debt is m ined, and the offico is debited in the amount of 32,000 On tho 1st of April, 43,000 Oft tho 1st of May, CO,GOO Tho rapidity with which tlm western parts of our country arc settled with a thriving population, is a phe nomenon in tho history of tho wotld. Tho mighty tide Mill rolls on to tho west, yet there is no perceptible di minution in tho population of tho cast. Tito condition of this part of our country indeed seems destined to show- how fust population and improvement may proceed where man is perfectly free, where property in the soil upd consequent independence is within the reach of eve ry individual, where that soil is fruitful and of boundless extent, and where none of tho checks exist, which im pede incrcaso of population and tho attainment of pro perty in tho mass of (lie people in other countries. As an example of this incrcaso of numbers and wealth, in addition to tho many wo havo from time to time re lated, we may cite the town of Columbus, Ohio, which strikes our eye on tho present lime. In 1812 the lots in that town were first exposed to sale, with the natu ral growth yet standing upon them} and seven years after, Columbus wns not only tho Scat of Government, tut contained about 200 houses and more than 1300 in habitants. But this is fur from a singular instance, or ono of tho must prominent. Yet wo question w hether even in tho liistory of tho west any instance can he ud- tluccd of emigration equal to that whieh is related in a lute Easton Register:— “Tho tide of emigration, through this place,” that pa per says, ,l this year, lias surpassed all previous years. During the mouth of October, alone, no less llmu three hundred and sixty-one way on*, loaded with moving fa milies and thoir goods, passed lirough one of our streets, fiut how many passed through other parts oftho town, wo cannot toll—perhaps tiro hundred. They are mostly destined (or the Wabash, but many arc turning their faces to tho North. Wo learn from travellers that the Territory of Michigan is speedily filling up w ith a po pulation of honest, intelligent, liberal nnd enterprising citizens—that where a few years ngo thoyi-j) oftho sa- vago and tho howl oftho wolf alouo saluted tho ear of tho traveller, the smooth voice oflho fanner is heard— tltul die rustling corn covers the linunl of tho deer—.vil lages havo been laid out, and are fust settling with rich merchants and enterprising mechanics.” With such a country, ufihrding so broad a field fur industry and enterprise, and w ith tho fact of its contin ual increase before our eyes, how ou^ht wo to prize thoso institutions tinder which wo live, uml which are tho foundation of the prosperity and happiness thus ex tensively diasemjjjatcd, Cosnarss,—Monday last was tho day fixed by law (or tho meeting of Congress, and from the number of mem bers arriving at tho soat of government bo early, at our last dates frum that place# it is presumed that tho house* were organized on that day.

Mr. Dovoiibuv, from tlm Committco on tho Stato of tlm Republic, submitted the fol lowing REPORT: Tho Committee on tho Stato of tho Repub lic, to whom was referred that part of the Governor’s communication with the accom panying documonts, relating to the dividing lino between the Cherokee and Creek Indians, r °Thi-'firat fart to ho iisccrliiinril liy this on- qttiry, is (lit- into dividing lino between the Cherokee end Creek liution of Indians hut two lines uro.contended for, ono by the Chero- koes commencing ut tho Buzzard Roost oil tho Cluittuhoouliie, thence to tho mouth ot Wills Creek on tho Coosa, iho other claim ed by Georgia, being tho ono run by Gol. Wales her commissioner, beginning on the sumo river at Suwnnnc old towns. The evidence collected by Col. Wales on this subject, under the instructions of tho late Executive of this State, is certainly very strong ill fijivor oftho position,that the line run by him is the uneiont nnd legal lino, be tween those two tribes of Indians. It beyond nil doubts establishes this fact, that the Creeks up to the year 18*21, claimed tho land to the line thus marked by him. How that claim was finally oottlwl, uml how tho line from Bu/.zurd Roust, was agreed upon by the two tribes, is n mutter existing only in the com mon understanding oftho community; unless indeed, a paper lately published in tho Chero kee Phiviiix, purporting to be a treaty or con vention between the two tribes, can bo con sidered ns furnishing sufficient evidence oftho fact. This paper, published as is believed by tho authority of tho Chorokecs themselves, cun at all events with propriety, be received as evidence of this fact that up to tho date ol tlmt convention, they had not an undisturbed title or occupancy oftho land lying between the two lines—Up to this convention, the sumo portion of territory was claimed by thu Creeks, uud us much or more in their occu- pnpey, and their title us good ns that of the Chcrokees—If tlmt ho granted, it follows ns a consequence conclusive, that by such con vention, the Cherokccs obtuined no better ti tle than they before possessed. The Creeks, if possessed of ttnv title, to the lino run by Col. Wales, woro* invested with no power to sell or dispose oftho same, to tho Clicrokocs, or any other ponton. Tho sumo right of soiling to tho Chorokecs would have enabled the Creeks to sell to any other power or nation; and a sale to Alnbnma, Tennessee, or even to Spain, would have been ns binding on Georgia, as is this pretend- cd sale to the Cherokccs. The right oftho Indians, living within tho limits of any of t he old thirteen States of the Union, being merely permissive, it relates us a necessary consequence, that no sale of that right etui convey any beneficial titles to the purchaser, unless sanctioned by tlio State in wliich they live,according to tho cons’ituliuial authorities oftho country. Georgia having given no consent to this convention, and a portion of the land lying within her limits conveyed by it, she can iu no wise ho ulfocted by any of its provisions. This convention having no efleet upon tho rights of Georgia, the question occurs, whore was tho lino between tho two tribes anterior to its formation I it in not known to your 0 friendly to oui cnusOBlioul'd not bo dlsrc- arded on inconBidorablo groundH.

Louis, (Missouri) Nov. 11.—Accimnls i from thu West rupresont, that it detachment of Major Mlh't'V cnninmntl had arrived un tin* frontier, and reported that tho Fall Caravan wan on tlio return, having made a sujco^ftil ndventuro. They t*av that an epeort of two hundred mounted Moxictuts attended the ('aravau from Euta l’o to tho Arkansas river, ttttd was the means of saving it, having sus tained uud repulsed repeated attacks from the Camanches, in tho course of whieh soycn or eight Mexicans wc; 3 killed. From the Ar kansas, at which place Major Riley was wait ing, tho Mexican escort, xvltieh was a volun teer one mounted, returned to their own coun try. Major Riley, who it will he recollected, was detached by order of the President lust spring, with four companies of tho United Elates troops to protect the Spring Caravan going out, as far as our limits would permit him to go, and to wait for tlio returning or Fall Caravan, had spent the summer nt CTiou- tentfs Island. It is believed that without the aid oft he escort granted by President Jackson, and tho volunteer Mexicans, thu Caravan would have siitlered severely from robbery and murder, and that this inland branch of trade, so essential to tho west, from tho returns of gold nnd silver which it affords, must have been broken up. President Jackson bus saved it this year by doing all that ho could—grant ing nn escort of infantry; let Congress at the ensuing ness toil perform its part, by granting an appropriation for mounting uud properly equipping that escort. C'vbiovh Ctitru>:sTAxn:.—An individual of intemperate habits, engaged in unloading a shallot) of wood nt one of our wlmrvevs felt something pass up hin sleeve to which lie paid 110 attention until a sensation of violent burning induced him to examine his arm.— On stripping up his sleeve he discovered an animal resembling a lizard, which# from the existence of throe small pimples near tho shoulder, ho concluded had bitten him. The arm immediately swelled up to tin onomium* size—became of a bright rod colour nnd in tensely painful. No medical attendance was procured for live days. The arm from tho Kliouhlcr to the elbow was then fully us thick as tho thigh of an ordinary sized man- painful to tho touch—tin evident lluctnation of*matter was detected throughout, the whole circumference oflhe arm, nnd upon nu incis ion being made t hrotigh tho skin and cellular membrane nearly half agallon of well condi tioned matter wns evacuated—after this tho swelling, pain nnd inflamation rapidly declin ed and with the exception of a slight attuck of mania a pntu, tho health oflhe patient was completely reinstated. There is 110 doubt tlmt in this case the vio lent intlnmation from so slight a cuuse is to ho attributed solely to tho irritable state of the patent's constitution arising from his tjuhits of intemperance. There is no reason for believing that any poison wus cominun- tiicutcd by the annual found 011 the arm nr if it really was a lizard, that even a bite was inflicted. ^ The above facts were communicated to tho Editor by the physicinff who had charge of the at sc.—Urg. of Penn. an he no valid objection to avail ourselves of tho testimony of creditable witnesses, in the ascertainment of any proposed fact. So far then as that kind* of testimony has been .sub mitted to your committee, they feel little hesitancy in pronouncing nn opinion in favor of the line run by Col. Wales. Taking this then to he the true line, there can be but little doubt, that a legal exposition of the different treaties made by tlio United States with the Crooks, will give all the land below tho sumo to Georgia. This fact agreed on, tho ques tion is presented to tho Legislature, does policy require Georgia to take unmediate pos session oftho disputed territory J If the in terest. of the State in the lands occupied by the Indians, extended alone to this territory, the question would be divested of much of its difficulty of answer. This however# is not thu- fact. ]Jnr interest in this small portion of territo ry is certainly inconsiderable, when compared with her interest in the other lands occupied by the Cherokee nation. Tho greater should never lie sacrified to tho smaller interest; and a policy inducing such a residt would be equally fullacions when adopted by a State us by an individual. If a hasty and abrupt possession by us of this disputed territory would probably en danger the speedy acquisition of the whole territory in the occupacy of tlio Cherokeos, prudence and interest both dictute a forbear ance ut present—Judging from the known character of the Indian, and the effects which certain causes are likely to produce on their actions, it is certainly not without the rutigo of probability, that a rigid cxcctmcnt of our rights ini tlfis occlusion, might produce a more unbending obstinacy on the part of the Clicr- okces, not to remove beyond the Mississippi. Your committee is supported in this opinion by that oftho President oftho United States. The situation iu which Georgia finds herself in connection with the General Government, and tho extinguishment for her use of the In dian title to the lands within her char tered limits, is ditforont now from that under former administrations. It in painful, yet your committee feels const ruined to express the be lief that former Administrations of tho Gener al G overnment, if not opposed to the interests of Georgia,have at least been insomc mensem iudilfereut to those interests. But Georgia may now congratulate hcrsolftlmt tho present Executive oftho Union is not only willing to do her justice, but has entered into tho sup port other cause with a cheerful ness uud zeal equal to his power, nnd which can alone be defeated of-success, by un unfortunate and fatal obstinacy on tho part of tho deluded In dians. This friuml and able coadjutor in the procurement tor us oftho whole Chero kee lauds, requests earnestly, that wo should for tho present forbear taking compulsory measures with regard to this disputed terri tory. This request is made not for his, but our benefit, lie cherishes the expectation, that a little more delay and moderation on our part, will enable him to nrocure an early ex tinguishment of the Cherokee title to the whole of their country.
