We appeal now to every intelligent reader whether there is any thing in the conduct of the Chero- l kees, which may be construed as offering contempt to the United States. The let _ter from the Council, which closes the cor respondence, is dignified, yet respectful, and affords a specimen of the feelings of our Citizens at large as regards their coun 4ry. It will be seen that the propositions of the honorable Commissioners were unan imously rejected, and this is what they might have expected, We are rather ata loss to know why ‘these Gentlemen in their circulars, thought proper to address themselvesto ‘Warriors,’ when they might have known that we have no more such characters amongst us, and if there are a few such men who may consid er such an appellation applicable to them, they have no voice in our Councils, and are therefore not the proper persons to treat with. We hope the Savage appellation which we have determined to cast behind us, will no more be thrown upon us, We mentioned some time since that Bear’s Paw, who committed murder at Sumach, was permitted to run at large.— ‘We understand that he has lately given humself up to the Marshal of Chickamauga District and was to be tried on last Satur day. The pernicious effects of intemper ance, which prevails te an alarming extent in this Country and elsewhere, stand in #heifaked order, divested of all palliating circumstances, when instances similar to the case of the above person, are consider - ed. We announced not long sinee, the execution of one, who publicly declared that intemperance was his rain. Ere this probably, another has been condemned to suffer the demands of justice. Can the people of this country look at the prevalence of such an evil with indifference? Will the Patriots of the Cherokee Nation see one victim after another falling before that per nicious vice and not exert themselves to a vert its progress? It is high time that eve ry individual well wisher to his country should employ his influence to discounte nancethe use of intoxicating liquors, Let the intemperate beware, & the dealerin spirits reflect and see whether they have not been fostering an evil of no ordinary magnitude. From the New-York Advertiser. LATEST FROM LONDON. Yesterday the ship Columbia, Cap tain Delano, arrived from London, bringing the papers to the Ist of April, inclusive. We have availed our selves of extracts made for the even ing papers, and are indebted to the editor of the Courier for the use of London papers to the latest dates. The intelligence from London by the Columbia, which is to the Ist of April, leaves the great subjects of peace and war, between Russia and Turkey, still in uncertainty. Prepa rations appear to be vigorusly prose cuted on both sides. Whether this indicates a determination on the part of either, or both, to push things to the last extremity, or is only intended by either, or both, to secure a peaceful términation, time alone can deter mine. If it were an abstract question with Russia, we have very little doubt that hostilities would almost certainly take place. But there are undoubtedly considerations of great, if not of paramount importance, which must be regarded before the last blow is struck, and war kindled which may deeply effect all the powers of Europe. There is no safe reasoning upon ordinary principles, in relation to the probable conduct of a Turk. The Sublime Porte have never been gov erned by the rules which influence and controul the conduct of other na tions. If a war takes place, we have no doubt it will prove a sanguinary one. An army made up of a Mahom etan rabble, commanded by officers of yery little skill or experience,— an army without discipline, infuriated by religious animosity, and contending for their very existence against the enemies of their faith, and the foes of their country, will be likely to rush to the combat burning with rage, and thirsting for revenge. That the shock will be terrible, we are prepared to expect. That the Ottomans will sink under the conflict, we entertain very little doubt. That there will be a war may be probable; but according to present appearances, it is in our ap prehension not absolutely certain.— Time will disclose the result. The London Globe of the evening of March 28th, says—We have this morning received the St. Petersbuigh Journal of March 11th (old style,) which contains what may be cons:der ed the Russian declaration of separate hostilities. The following is an ex tract from this document—the whole is not published in the (lobe; and as the London papers of a later date, down to Ist April, do not ap pear to consider it as a formal declara tion of war, nor was it, as far as we have seen, considered as such by the British Government, we presume the question remains as it did at the last advices. “Such acts, provocations so seri ous, and the measuces which they ren der necessary, give rise to the most lively regret; but the causes of com plaint which the Porte seems to have studied to furnish us with, require, on the other hand, a complete and speedy reparation; and Russia, while it pros ecutes with its allies the negotiations which the accomplishment of the trea ty of London requires—while it con forms to the letter and spirit of that act in every thing that concerns its spirit and execution, will find means, with the aid of God, to obtain the in dispensable reparation; it will find means to secure to the commerce of the Black Sea, the inviolable liberty which is the first condition of its exis tence, to the treaties with the Porte the respect and the stability which they require, and to its injured sub jects all the compensation which they have a right to claim.” AUSTRIAN DESPOTISM. The Austrian youth, having finished his Academical course, whether he be a lawyer or a divine, is entirely in the hands of the government. His past life and conduct serve his superi ors as a guide. Has he given the least cause of suspicion, shown the least penchant towards liberal ideas? then he may be sure that the higher his talents, the less is his capacity to serve his Emperor, or to obtaina li cense as an attorney. Should he ap ply to the government, for a non-com missioned office, his immediate supe riors become his watchmen. An unguarded word is sufficient not only to preclude his advancement, but to de prive him even of his station. He cannot expect indulgence or forbear ance on the part of his superiors; it would be looked upon as a comnivance, and, if repeated, deprive them of their places. Francis may be said to have trained his subjects, during the thirty-four years of his reign, to a blind obedience, which has absorbed principle, honor, and all noble senti ments. One is really horror-struck at the sight of the moral havoc caus ed by the short-sighted simplicity of a prince, who in order to bear down all dispute of his right and supremacy, has, in fact, overturned honour, mor ality. religion and principle. Right is in Austria what pleases the emperor— his will; wrong, what displeases.— Austria as it is. ‘ KING OF PRUSSIA. “We cannot help doing honor to the King of Prussia and his ministry, as well as to the Royal Academy at Ber lin, forthe generous support which they have given to a scientific expe dition. Nor is this the only noble transaction in which the King of Prus sia has been deeply concerned. Within a few years, he has made freemen of a large portion of his subjects, by ma- } king them lords of the soil which they cultivate, possessors by mere fee-sim ple. He has raised up the second, if not the first University “of learning, now in existence. We refer to that of Berlin, which is not yét 20 years old. He has greatly improved other Universities in his territory, particu larly that of Halle. He supports, at his own expense, as we are credibly informed, 25 theological students at Wittenburg, on the very spot where Luther taught, and where three pro fessors of theology still remain, one of whom is the well known Schleusner. He has made provision, that all the children of his realm shall be taught to read, and be in possession of a Bi ble. He every year bestows some distinguished honour or privilege on litzrary men, who contribute to the honour of his kingdom, and the in struction of his subjects. All this, too, with very moderate pecuniary sources, Prussia having scarcely any commerce with fereign countries.— ¢ N. A. Review. A sign of War in Georgia.—lf the present executive of Georgia, is out stripped in gasconade ana turbulence by his predecessor, he will not be sur passed by him inactivity and prepara tions for mortal strife, The names of twenty-three gentlemen are published, whom he has selected to serve as his Aids-de-camp. An European Empe ror seldom has but three; but his ex cellency probably anticipates more extensive and varied military opera tions than any in which they are ever engaged.— Farmer’s Register, ( Troy.) RocuestEß, (N. Y.) April 22. Straw Paper.—We have, in our pos session, a specimen of paper manufac tured at Magaw’s Paper Mill, near Meadyville, Pa. from Oat straw. Its texture is finer than common wrap ping paper, for which, we counceive, it will answer as an excellent substi tute. Itis, like many other excelient improvements in domestic manufac tures, the result' of accident, the discoverer taking the hint from the circumstance of observing the oats straw at the bottom of the leach tub, after the ashes had been removed, in a glutinous and adhesive state. We should not be surprised if this circum stance should eventuate in the manu facture of good writing paper from the same material. The inventor has obtained letters patent, which we have but little doubt will warrant him a fortune. : Public Lands.—For the informa tion of those who never see the doc uments piled on the tables of the mem bers of Congress, I have made a sy nopsis of the report of the Commis sioner of the General Land Office, and which accompanied the Presid ent’s Message at the opening of the present session. The quantity of land purchased by the United States is 258,37%,60" acres. The quantity yet to be purchased, lying within the pros ent limits of our States and Territc ries, is 55,947,453 acres. The & mount of land surveyed to Ist January 1326, is 138,988,224 acres. Amoun’ of land sold to Ist January 1826, i 19,239,412 acres. Amount of cash received to st Jan. 1826, is $31,- 345,968. Amount of land debt is 47,955.831. . Total of sales of lanc is 540,351,880 19: The amount paid for tne public domain, including the purchase of Louisiana, $15,000,000 and of Florida, 5,000,000. The a mount paid to Georgia and Yazoc claim, Indian cessions, and for survey ing 139,000,000 acres, and for expeu ses sale of 19.229,412 acres, is s32,6ll,Bl3.—Corresp. of the Coni merciel. From the Sacket’s Harbor Gazette, Horrrp MurpEß.—lt becomes our pain ful duty to record one of the most shocking and appalling murders that ever blackene: the catalogue of human crime, which occur red at Brownville, in this county, on the 15th inst. A misunderstanding had long subsisted between four individuals of that Elace by the names of Joseph and Heb:r ‘Rodgers, Henry Dimon and Henry Evans, neighbors, all of whom were concerned in this bloody tragedy. Evans was living up ona Fiece ofland which he held by contract, and had often stated that he should quit it this spring, upon learning which, one of the Rodgers went to the owner of the land and obtained a new contiact for it and in formed Evans what he had done., FEvans then swore he would not leave the premises till he got ready. 'This fanned the embers of the old feud existing between l%hem to a flame, and a consultation was held between the two Rodgers and Dimon to devise how they should dispossess Evans of the place, A brother of the Rodgers, who was the pai ticular friend of Evans, overhearing the conversation respecting putting Evans out of the house on the promises in question, went to him on the evening of the 15th inst. and told him what his brother Joseph and Heber and Dimon were determined to do, and remained with him in the house during the consummation of the horrid and bloody act which enued. He says Evans barred the door to keep his brothers and Dimon out, but Heber Rodgers and Dimon, who still survive, say the door was not barred when they entered the house. Sometime in the evening, Joseph Rodgers went to the house, his brother Heber and Dimon follow ing after at some distance. Joseph entered the door and was instantly struck to the floor by Evans, by a blow on the head with an axe, and soon expired. Shortly aiter Dimon and Heber came up to the house; and Dimon went in and was met by Evans with a hlow upon the head with the axe with which he was armed, which brought him tothe floor, but which has not as yet Eroved mortal. Heber then entered the ouse, ignorant, (as it would seem) of the the fate of his brother Joseph and Dimon, but on discovering their shocking condition he attempted to retreat, and was pursued by Evans, who gave him a violent blow up on the back with the edge of the axe which felled him to the ground, from which, how ever hopes are entertained that he will re cover. KEvans then went to a distillery near by and informed the owner, a Mr. Peck, that he had killed the Rogers, and he was glad of it, He said he had long desir< ed to kill them, and requested Peck to go with him to his house. On arriving at the house, & ascertaining that only one of the unfortunate men upon whom Kvans had wreaked his premetfiitated vengeance, was dead, he said he was sorry, and regretted that he had not despatched all three of them. He hasbeen lodgeg in jail at Watertown to to await his trial, and to receive the inflic tions of the law due to hiscrimes. We are informed that since in Jail he boasts with stoic hardihcod of the bloody and depraved deeds his hands have done, and says he is not sorry for it, and regrets only that he did not kill the other two, - Joseph Bonaparte.—The citizens’ line of coaches through New-Jersey, pass the residence of the late King of Spain, at Bordentown, on the Dela ware. His estate occupies a large territory. His house is in the French style, but not splendid. His lands, on whichimmense sums have been ex pended, are well cultivated. In all public improvements he contributes liberally—something like four thous and dollars, I am told, he paid on one road. He is much beloved, and his memory will be ever dear to the vil lagers. There is scarcely now a poor family in the village, so many does he employ on his lands. He pays liber ally, punctually fulfilling all his con tracts—no law suits—no disputes, and the intemperate and immoral are at once discharged. He is constantly, in the season of agriculture; in the fields with his men, and is constantly with an elegant pruning hatchet in his hand. Strangers who are introduced partake liberally of his hospitality. He has thus exchanged a coronet of thorns for that of a peaceful agriculturalist, and hecome a citizen of our happy repub lic. New system of Punctuation.—At a dinner table a short time since, one of those non-descripts called a Dandy, was seated at the top, gnd an honest, nlain dealing farmer at the bottom,— Juring diuner time, a great many afs cctedly polite speeches were made y the beau, and a great many coarse nes by the farmer. When cheese -as introduced, the fop, in an affect dly mincing tone, asked the compa< ny whether they prefered the pure or impure? On asking the farmer this question, the old man replied—: Hang your pure or impure give me some of ‘he musty.” ‘Sir” says the dandy, “I must beg leave to tell you, that you have made very many insolent speeches during dinner; and, sir, if Ihave any repetis tion of your insolence, T shall place my thumb and finger on each side of your nose and make a parenthesis of it.” A parenthesis! shall you?” says the old man—*‘then I shall put my fist in your face, and make a full stop.’’ The following are Candidates for the General Council of the Cherokee Nation t& represent the District of Coosewatee.
