We publish to day, the closing part of the correspondence with the late United States* Commissioners. We appeal now to every intedligeht reader whether, there is any thing in the conduct of the Chero- bees, which may be construed as offering contempt to the United States. The let ter from the Conncil, which closes the cor respondence, is dignified, yet respectful, ^jttnd affords a specimen of the feelings of bur Citizens at large as regards their coun try. It will be seen that the propositions of the honorable Commissioners were unan-. imously rejected, and this is what they might have expected '■ 1^* / . We are rather at a loss to know why these Gentlemen in their circulars, thought proper to address themselves to ‘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 Savagfe 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 himself up to the Marshal of Chickamauga District and was to he fried on last Satur day. The pernicious effects of intemper ance, which prevails to an alarming exten t in this Country and elsewhere, stand in their naked order, divested of all palliating circumstances, when instances similar to the case of the above person, are Consider ed. We announced not long since* the execution of one, who publicly declared that intemperance was his ruin. 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 ev-il with indifference? Will the Patriots of the Cherokee Nation see one victim after another failing 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 dlsbbuiile- riancethe use ofintoxicating liquors. Let the intemperate..beware, & thp (fr&lerin spirits reflect and see whether they have not been fostering anevilof.no ordinary magnitude. pf iser. From the New-York Adv< LATEST FROM LONDON. V Yesterday the ship Columbia, Cap tain, Delano, - arrived from London, bringing the papers to. the 1st 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 lit of April, leaves the great subjects of peace and war, between Russia and Turkey, still in uncertainty. Prepa rations appear to be vigomsly prose cuted on both sides. Whether this indicates a determination bn the part o>f either, or both, to push things to the last extremity, or is only intended by either, or both, to secure a peaceful termination, 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 dbubt it will prove a sanguinary one. An army made up of a Mahom etan rabble, commanded by officers of very ,little skill or experience,— an array without discipline, infuriated by religious animosity, and contending for their vfery existence against the enemies of their faith, and the foes of their country, will be likely to rush to the cotnbat 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 n6t absolutely certain.-— Time will disclose the result. The London Glob^ of the evening of March 28th, S3ys—-We have this morning received the St. Petersburgh Journal of March 11th (old style,) which contains what may be consider ed the Russian declaration of separate hostilities. The fdllowing is an ex tract from this document—the whole is. not published in the Globe; and as the London papers of a later date, down to 1st April, do not ap pear to consider it as a formal declara tion of war, nor was it, as far a9 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 measures 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 arid 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 Seay the inviolable liberty which is the first condition of its exis tence, to the treaties with the Porte tlib respect and the stability Which They require, and to its injured sub jects all the compensation which they have a right to claim*” AUSTRIAN 1 DESPOTISM. The Austrian youth, having finished iiis Academical course, whether he be a lawyer or a divine, is entirely in the hands of the government. Uis past life and bonduct serve hi$ superi ors as a gu\dc. Hris.Jie -given (he least cause of suspicion,, shown the least penchant towards liberal ideas? then be may be sure 'that (lie higher his talents, the less is his capacity to serve his Emperor, or to obtain a li cense as an attorney. Should lie 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 advancehlefit, hut 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 upoti as a connivance, and, jf 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, nud all noble senti ments. . One is reaOy horror-struck at.the sight of the m ral 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 please*,the emperor— his will; wrong, What'displeases.— Jhis'tria 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, for the 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, lie 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 <o that of Berlin, which is not yet 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 Schlpusuer. He has made provision, that all the children of bis realm shall be taught to read, and be in possession bf a Bi ble. He every year bestows some distinguished honour or privilege on litJrary 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 foreign countries.— JV*. Jl. Review. A sign of War in Georgia.—If the present executive of Georgia, is out stripped in gasconade auu turbulence by his predecessor, he will not be sur passed by him in activity 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*—rFarmers Register' h (Troy.) Rochester, (N. Y.) April 22. Straio Paper.—We baveytn Our pos session, a specimen of pnp/r nianulac- 'tured at Magaw’’s Pape/ Mill, neat Meadville, Pa. from 0/t straw. Its texture is finer than eft rnmoii wrap ping paper, for which, ve conceive, it will answer as an excellent substi tute. It is, like many ( her excellent improvements in dome tic manufac tures, the result of iccident, the discoverer taking the liqt from the circumstance of obser ing the oats straw at the bottom of4ie leach tub, after the ashes had been remoyed, in a glutinous and adhesivoi state. We should not be surprised if this-.nrrcum- stance should eventuate in the manu facture of good writing paper from the same material. The investor has obtained letters patent', which we have but little doph* will warrant him a fortune. Public Lands.—Tor the informa tion of those who never see the qpe- 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 ^ 258,37If,667 acres. The quantity yet to be purchased, lying within the pres ent limits of our States and Territo ries, is 55,947,453 acres, The a- mount of land surveyed to 1st January 1826, is 138,988,224 acres. Amouir . of land sold to 1st January 1826, is 19,239,412 acres. Amount of cash received to 1st Jan. 1836, is $31,- 345.968. Amount of land debt is $7,955,831. Total of sales of Ian,: is $40,351,880 19- 1 The amount paid lor tne public domain, including the purchase of Louisiana, $15,000,000 and of Florida, 5,000,000. The a- mopnt paid to Georgia and Yazo< claim, Indian cessions, and for survey ing 139.000,000 dcres, and for expen ses sale of 19,229,412 acres, is $32,911,813.—Corresp. of the Com mercial. From the SackePs Harbor Gazette. Horrid Murder.—It becomes our pain ful duty to record one of the most shocking and appalling murders that ever blackened the catalogue of human crime, which occur red at Brownville, in this county, on the 15th inst, A misunderstanding bad long subsisted between four individuals of that place by the names of Joseph and Heb< r Rodgers, Henry Dimon and Henry Evans, neighbors, all of whom were concerned in this bloody tragedy. E vans was living up on a piece ofland which he held by contract, and had often stated thathe should quit it this spring, upon learning which, one of the Rodgers went to the owner of the land and obtained a new contract for it and in formed Evans what he bad done. Evans then swore he would not leave the premises till he got ready. This fanned the embers of the old feud existing between them 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 par 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 H'bcr and Dimon were determined to do, and remained with him in the house during the consummation of the horrid and bloody act which en sued. He says Evans haired 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 hoifse. Sometime in iheevening, Joseph Rodgers went to the house, his brother Heher 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 *xp, and soon expired. Shortly alter Dimon and Heber came up to the house; and Dimon went in and was,met by Evans w‘(h a blow upon the head with the axe vv : th which he was armed, which brought him to the floor, but which has not as yet proved mortak Heber then entered the house, 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 theground, from which, how ever hopes are entertained that he will re cover. Evans then went to a distillery near by and informed the owner, a Miv 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 Evans had wreaked his premeditated vengeance, was dead, he said he was sorry, and regretted that he had not despatched all three of them. He has been lodged in jail at Watertown to to await his trial; and to receive the inflic tions oftlie law due to his crimes. We. are informed that since in Jail he boasts with stoic, hardihood of the bloody and depraved deeds bis 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’ fine 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 which immense sums have been ex pended, are well cultivated. In all public improvements he contribute* liberally—something like four thous and dollars, I ain told, he paid on one road. He is iDuch 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, irf the season of agriculture, in the field* 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 become a citizen of our happy repub lic. .Veto system of Punctuation.—At a dinner table a short time since, one of those non-descripts called a Dandy, was .seated at the top, and an honest, nlaln dealing farmer at the fcotfonff^*- during dinner time, a great many afi* ectediy polite speeches were made y the beau, and a great mr-.ny coarse /nes by the farmer. When cheCsef u as introduced, the fop, in an affect edly mincing tone, asked the coifipa^ ny whether they prefered the pure of impure? On asking the farmer this question, the old man replied'*— 1 Hang vour pure or impure give me some of the musty.” Sir” says the dandy, “! must beg leave to tell you, that you have mad4 very many insolent speeches during dinner; and, sir, ■ if I have any repeti tion of your insolence, I shall place my thumb and finger on each side of your nose and make a parenthesis of it.” “A parenthesis! shall you?” says •I’® cld man——“then I shall put my* fist in your face, and make a full slop.” The following are Candidates for the General Council of theCherokee Nation uJ represent the District of Coosewatee/ For the Committee.
