The bill asking an appropriation for the purpose of

burg, lias been indefinitely po-qiuncd in tho Senate ol
South Carolina, after passing tho House of Represent
atives. A resolution will lie introduced to uuthorizc the
subscription to the Stock of the Company, of 250,000
dollars, on the part of tho State, and n danse would he
proposed in the appropriation bill to that died. It is
Relieved, however, that the rejection of the application
iii Senate, is decisive of its fate, ami tho correspondent
uftfio Courier says, the only alternative is application to
the General Government.
A resolution passed both branches of the Legislature
ot South Carolina, on the loth in.t., to adjourn on the

The Synod of South Carolina and Georgia, at its late
K'.o>i*.n in Savannah, determined on tho establishment
of a Theological Seminary for the South. It is to bo

It is stated ill tho Washington Telegraph, that des
patches have been received from Mr. Moore, our Minis
ter to Colmhin j they mention .that his reception wus
highly gratifying. It also stated that he bus entered up-
on his ofticiul duties, and has succeeded iu procuring the
admission of the justice and vulidity of most ofthc claims
of our citizens upon the Colombian government. Their
final settlement only awaits the usual official furmtditii s.
The despatches contain intelligence of the treaty be

Gen. Harrison, our Into Minister at Colombia, and
Mr. Taylor, Secretary of Legation, arrived ot Cardin-

unless that alt ip should shortly appear, to take passage

A letter from J. G. A. Williamson, our Consul nt
T.iguira, received in this country, dated on tho 15th No.
veinher, says—** I utn expecting every moment to hear
from Valencia, that Gen. Pacx has declared Venezue

Nows from Valencia today, says, that an order bus ar
rived there to prevent any of the member* of Congress
from going to Bogota-it is believed,”
It appears from this, and our previous intelligence,
that the unhappy republics of Smith America, are still
destined to experience the evils of anarchy and civil war.

ft is estimated that 15.000 copied of tlio President 1 *
Mossago were delivered to tho citizens ol New-York,:

Tho loto fall of thn U. 8. Hank Stock, in consequence
of the receipt of tho President's Message, was about
six per cent, winch upon thirty-five million (tho capital
of the Bank) is 2,100,000. Tho Now-York Herald is
of opinion that the fall is only temporary.
Tho recommendation of the President concerning the
merging the Marina Corps into tho Artillery or Infan
try, it is said, will be generally acceptable to tho Navy,
and will perhaps early engagq tho attention and delibe
rations of Congress.
A trial took plaCo at Zanesville, Ohio, on the 20th
ultimo, between certain members of the Methodist E-
piscopal Church and tho Methodist Reformers. Tho
contest was about tho right of using a church iu Spring-
field township, in that county, which was formerly oc
cupied hy the old Methodist S wfioty. Tho reformers
claimed the right of using and did use it, when tlio ac
tion of trespass was brought against thorn. After much
debate the jury retired, and romuinnd out all night,
when they brought in a verdict for the plaintitTs (the
old society), damages one cent. This decision would
debar tho reformer* from tlio right uf using tlio old
churches.
COMMUNICATED FOB THE GEORGIAN,
•THE CHEROKEES.
The Head Chief of tho twenty-four Council-fires,
President Jackson, has delivered Id* annual talk. Iu
it ho paints in true colors, ow. trcatrn'eui'Jjy the uliita-
meu—but all his talk results In this, that Wo must either
abandon our country, or bo subject to tho tyranny if tho

n most powerful appeal to-oiir sympathies. . Our ances

to retire, from river to river, ahd from mountain to moun
tain, until sotnu of the tribes have become extinct, and
others have left but remnants to preserve, for a while,
■their once terrible names.” This is so much liko the
expression of humane sentiments and generous feelings,
that wo tire naturally prepared to expeof, that at overr
hazard tlio faith uf treaties in our favor will bo upheld,
that our rights will bo protected and our beloved country,
never cqded, never conquered, in our possession time
immemorial, that it will bo secured tout. But mark tho
end— U J& fs ton late to inquire.” continues tho talk,
"whether it wus just iu tlio United Sutos to include
them and their territory within tho hounds of new State*
whose limits they could confront. That stop cannot bo
retraced—a Slate cannot bo dismombered by Congress
or restricted in tho exercise of its Constitutional power.”
Therefore as a Slate cannot bo dismembered, she has a
right to take our lands and tyrannize over us that never
a formed nny part ofher members. Oh ! generous

uml indignation filled his heart at such a suggestion?
President Jackson having, by a constitutional objec

Tlio President in his couckuivo argument on the sub
ject of tlio indupendeneb of the Indian tribes within tlio
limits of tlio Statos, says—” Tho Constitution declares,
that “no new State shall ho formed or erected within
tho jurisdiction of any State without the consent of its
Legislature. If (lie adds) tho General Government
is not permitted to tolerate tho erection of a confederate
State within the territory of ono of tlio members of this
Union, against her consent, much less could it allow a
foreign ind independent government to establish itself
tliero.” This tho writer abovo calls ** suggesting a
lurking articte in tlio Constitution.”
If the Uonoral Government possess no power to place
tlio Indians on lands of tho Union, who does ?—No in
dividual State—Not th! Indians themselves. The land
in question' was bought by the General Government,
with tho funds of tho nation, and it would be singular if
they could not dispose of it in thik way Theirs is tho
control of it and theirs nlono. No intention ever existed
to cede ‘soil and sovereignly’ to tho Indians when remov
ed. They aro not to ho independent, but to occupy tho
lands under tho special protection and guardianship of
iho United States.
Tito writer alludes to the right of Georgia as being
derived from a royal charter in terms which indicate
a reproach—the rights of all tho States aro foun
ded upon similar documents, and the old States at least
are recognized and guaranteed in their territory, with-
out reference to the " poor Indians," by a royal treaty—
so that there is nothing very singular or vurydograd-
ing in tlio admission of that fact.
Tlio choice of removal or submission to our laws may,
in the opinions of some, for aught wo know, bo consci-
cntiously considered one of " shivery or death.” Yet
wo much doubt if tliero are many living under our
laws, who would not prefer thoir operation to those by
which they are oxposed to l< so thoir lives or their oars,
to bo knocked in the head with a stone, or suffor under
the infliction of tlio hickory stick, hy order of an Indian
Council, bocause they may desire to disposa of their
property, and remove to another and better country.

Sir l’nltency Malcolm arrived at. Constan

and was to rejoin his squadron in the Darda

Dardanelles was fruo to all merchant vessels
and tho duties on transit were withdrawn.—
The business of the port hud assumed great
briskness, from tho facility the merchant ves
sels received in passing to the Black Sea.
On tlio departure of tho Russian fleet, the
Admiral hoisted the Russian flag by the side
of those of France and England, ahd fired a

flouts did the same on their departure. Six
English vessels of war remained in the Dar

the magistrates was not given to tlio Gover
nor, by and with tho advice ofthc Senate, on
the nomination of tho county courts.—The
resolution declaring that tlio commission of
the present Judges should cease after tho

their halites—our treaty guarantees with them—who
could have imagined, that nt this day, when tho mon

people— 1 when tho monarchy of Franco has just acknow
ledged the freedom of a revolted colony—at this day,
when thoso who havo been held as untiircl enemies nro

Although wo arc not disposed to enter into thn dis
cussion of a subject, hcrotoforo so fully investigated, wo
must bo permitted to offer " a few more last words,”
hy way of a running commentary ou tho preceding com-
mtinicatoin.
Tho rights of Georgia to sovereignty over all tho lands
within her chartered limits, aro as unqijostionaldo as tho
received Inws of nations can make them—and nro
supported hy the laws and usages of this country, by
decisions of its Supremo Judicial tribunal, as well as by
tho opinions ofominonl jurists. Valle), and other wri
ters on inter-national law, nro among tlio first; tho do-
cisions in tho eases of Fletcher t*s. Peek, and Johnston
vs. M'Intosh, in tlio .Supremo Court, are of tho aocond
■class; tho condition of nil tho tribes within tho bounds
ofthc States, is proof of the usages of this country • and
John Quincy Adams, among others, in a plea before tho
.Supremo Court, defined Iho Indian tilio to Lo ono of
nmro occupancy, without title to iho soil.
The right of Georgia being founded upon Iter charter,
and no portion of her right of soil having been surrun-
dined hy tho Conslitulion, any guarantee of General
Washington, hy treaty or otherwise, could only mttond
to tho Indinn right, that of mcro occupancy. Any other
would lutvo been nugatory.

of Georgia and South Carolina and tho Chorokaes,

dependent people, so long ago as 1777.

Augusta, Dee. 19.—Cotton.—For the last
few days Cotton lms arrived freely, and has
boon sold generally from tho wagons, at prices
ranging from 7$ a8f} cents—selections will, if
very choice, command in Ware Houses, 8,^
cents, but prime is generally considered worth
8g ami-83 cents. Lots, ns they aro made up
by purchasers from wagons, embracing all
the qualities produced from the last crop,
will command 8} a 8.} cents.
The River had risen and has every indica
tion of remaining in good boating order.—
Freight to Snvuunuh lms consequently de
clined to 75 cents per bale.

Charleston, Dee. 19.—Cottons.—There
lms boon a fair demand for Cotton throughout
tho nast wtjuk—prices havo ranged 9 a 9.1 for
good fair, and 9j for selections of store lots.
Tho quantity coming forward has been con
siderable.
New York, Dee. 12.—Cotton.—Tiie. sales
for the last eight days amount to about 1200
bales, consisting of (Jphinds at to 10} cts;
Virginia and North Carolina, new crop, 9 to
9jj cts. and South Carolina and Georgia, 10,
Kty wid 10.}; manufacturers only havo paid
the highest rates for fino parcels, mostly on
time. About 50 bnles superior Now Orleans
were taken by them at 13 cts. 4 months.—
Throughout tho wook thoro has been no ani
mation in the market, and sellers generally
ha ve been quite willing to accept lower pricos.
We have adjusted our quotations accordingly.
Ji/cc.—Early in tho weok about 200 tierces
were sold, from 82 62} a 82 87}c.; since
which about 150 tierces have been disposed
of, at similar rates, on 4 months credit. Tlio
stock of old Rico is largo, and of rather infe
rior quality. Tho now and fresh beaten
comes iu rather slowly. Ride, 2 50 a 3.
Remarks.—Advices woro received yester
day from Liverpool and Havre, to the 11th
November. Tho season is fast drawing to &
close—the canal has probably closed, and tho
navigation of tlio Hudson will not continue
open but two or tlirco weeks longer. Tho
President’s Message nppears not to have lmd
any effect on tho market, if wo except the
