' — -* True, as a people, we are far enough from being literary, or from any gene ral taste or wish to patronize litera ture. We wish this remark was true only of the western country. But we feel that we are not wanting in abund ant and strong, talent of every kind.— Whoever is extensively acquainted with our public speakers and writers, { icrceives a vigor, an energy, a reck- essness of manner and form, but a racy freshness of matter, which smacks strongly of bur peculiar character and position. We may have been carica tured, and misrepresented, by persons selected as samples of us, in the gene ral councils. They, who know liow r it is, that such persons stand the fair est chance to get to those places, will not consider a few lumps, sent to the great Museum, exactly as a fair index of all the mineral, we have to- show' among us. eswsie h-l** DenPi* RdG o<£•¥« OMWOJO- *V- **T.

Davidson and Gray, of this state, and General Cocke of Tennessee) to enter into ne gotiations with the Cherokee Indians; and that their indisposition to sell was ascribed to the influence which white men exercise in the Nation. Subse quent events have demonstrated that the affairs of the Cherokee Nation are wholly /managed by the whites and half breeds.” What are the subsequent events that has brought about this wonderful'discovery? Why, reader, simply because 36 out of 56 of our candidates for the Ganeral Coun- il happened to have English names. This, with the wise editor of the Carolinian, is a complete demonstration that “the affairs of the Cherokee Nation are wholly managed by the whites and half breeds.” Amongst the 56 were some half breeds, hut not a sin gle white man. them: they appear to hare sunk into a lower state of ignoianc.e and dark ness, than the dark, barbarous age of the Goths. They gre a gang of roving gypsiea: they have no homes, no coun try; they have no firesides; they have no monumental sepulchres, as describ ed by the advocates against their re moval, but are wandering in droves throughout every part of our State, subsisting by the humanity of the in habitants, or living by plundering them of their property.

CONSTITUTION Of the Methodist Tract Society of the Cherokee Nation.—Adopted by said society on their organization, June 14th 1828, at Oougillos'ce. Ahj. 1. This association shall be denominated the Methodist Tract So- cietyof the Cherokee Nation, auxil iary/to the tract society of the Meth- od^t Episcopal Church. Art. 2. The business of the socie ty shall be conducted by a President and Vice President, Corresponding Secretary, Treasurer and five mana gers, to be chosen at the annual meet ing. Art. 3. It shall be the duty of the President, or in case of his absence the Vice President, or if both be ab sent, of a member chosen for the oc casion, to take the chair, keep order, and cause the business of the society a portion of the troops on the morning of that day, notwithstanding the fire from the Turkish cannon on the oppo site side. This movement was great ly facilitated by the co-operation of a body of Zaporoc Cossacks^ who, with their Atttaman, had recently revolted to the Russians. The passage w r as made in boats, and other light water craft, the bridge not being then com pleted. About 11 o’clock, a. m. says the account, “the enemies’ batteries, although one of them was mined and killed, thirty men ’in the explosion, were in our hand?. Eight battalions and several pieces of cannon had been landed, and the Turks were in full re treat towards the fortress of Isaktsca, one of the suburbs of which they burnt. They lost 12 cannon, 2 mor tars and a howitzer. Our loss has not been great, considering the obsta cles we hadto surmount.; & that of the Turks we have not yet learnt.” A subsequent despatch, dated Camp of Satounowa, May 30, (June 11,) says, “After our troops had for T ced the passage of the Danube in the morning of the 27th, ( June 8th,) the river was covered, during all the rest of that remarkable day, wdth boats which transported the soldiers and our artillery to the positions which the enemy had just left. We found four more cannon, one mortar, and a considerable quantity of powder and ammunition, in one of the redoubts nearest to Tsaktscha. “May 28th (June 9th) in the morning the passage continued. The works necessary to establish the bridge were begun. At 11 a. m. the enemy burned the remainder of the suburb of Isaklscha. Afternoon the Emperor crossed to the Turkish territory. He crossed the Danube conducted by six Zaporoc Cossacks, who were a few azine behind the centra! gate. D|* erent parties of Turkish iufantry ma<J a sally on the Russian left at seve o’clock in the morning and forming 3 irregular mastf to the number of 8O0] proceeded in the direction of one of ty batteries. They were repulsed afy a gallant resistance, carrying off a|j their dead wounded except seven, left on the field. The Russians lost s| killed and 25 wounded. The forces of the Sultan are si at 80,000 men disciplined after th, European manner, and 65,000 trained according to the ancient system. 1 vat wo acl an m< vi| hi m ai r( to be transacted wdth propriety and d a y s , before subjects of the Porte, and despatch Art. 4. It shall be the duty of the Secretary to keep the minutes of the Board of managers, and of the Society, conduct the correspondence and pre pare the annual report. Art. 5. It shall be the duty of the Treasurer to take charge of the funds of the Society, answer all orders on }he Treasury by the Board of Mana gers, and render an annual account to them of his receipts and expends tures. Art. 6<. The Managers shall meet at such time and place as they may appoint for the transaction of business; they shall have power to adjourn their meetings at pleasure; and of their number three shall be a quorum Art. 7. Every annual subscriber paying twenty-five cents in advance shall be a member, and one dollar had just received the cross of St. George. Their Attaman, but just before a Pacha with two tails, sat at the helm. “On the 29th (June 10th) a letter from the Pacha of Isaktscha announc ed his intention to give up the place; and it was made known to him that he should have until the next day at 10 o’clock to accept the terms offered him. On the 30th, the fortress of Isaktscha was surrounded by two di visions of our troops, and while the Emperror was passing along the chain of advanced posts, two messengers ar rived informing that the commandant accepted them, and was ready to yield. On-the 11th, Isaktscha was surrendcred.- “The garrison of Isaktscha and the two Pachas above mentioned have ob tained permission to retire; but 85 paid in advance, shall entitle them to pieces of cannon, 17 stands of colors, “At a called meeting of the citizens of Montgomery County, Ala. August 9th, 1828 to take into consideration measures for the more speedy acquiring for Alabama the Creek Indian Territory,” Mr. Moseley Baker, Editor of the Alabama Journal made a speech. The following short ex tract will afford a good specimen of his harangue. They [Indians} themselves know not how to act: the God of their na ture has not given them capacity to judge for themselves, save in chasing the wild buck of the forest. The In dian knows not the advantages that would attend a removal. Bound down by the iron mask of ignorance and sav ageness, he knows not how his state W'ould be meliorated, nor cares not.— Indeed, sir, but very few know a trea ty was ever made, or that one is de sired; or if they have heard,, they have no correct ideas concerning it«— No, sir, but very few should have the appellation of even Indian—they are something less; humanity will pardon me the expression: but, sir, their situ ation is more abject, more degraded, they are more ignorant, more debased, than the idea of Indian can convey. As members of the human family, the sun of reason and light appears never to have shed his softening rays over membership for life. Each subscri ber shall be entitled to Tracts to the value of one half their subscription. Ministers of the M. E. Church on the circuit or station, shall be considered ex officio members of the society, and all such preachers shall form or be considered a distributing committee for the purpose of distributing Tracts gratis, also to dispose of others to pur chasers. Art. 8. A place or places of de posit shall be fixed by the Managers, and a depositary appointed who shall deliver tracts according to the direc tion of the Board, he shall keep an ac curate account of the different Tracts received, their number and descrip tion, he shall be accountable to the board of Managers, and report to them wdien required, and pay over the mo ney received from the sale of tracts to the Treasurer. Art. 9. All moneys paid into the with the ammunition and provisions with which the fortress abounds have fallen into our power. The same day we received intelligence of an engage ment which had taken place on the morning of the 9th, between our flotil la and that of the Turks, near Braila. The former consisted of 17 vessels of different sizes, that of the Turks con sisted of 32. The engagement com menced early in the morning, and soon became brisk, but the ship of the Turkish Admiral shortly lowered her- flag, anil some hours after 25 more Turkish vessels were taken, sunk, burned or stranded. The six vessels remaining to the Ottomans took refuge under the cannon of the fort of Mal- chine. “The bridge over the Danube finished: a brigade of cavalry is at this moment crossing it, and the w'hole ar my is to follow.” Braila, or Brahilow, which had Treasury of this association after the been for some time invested by the necessary expenses are defrayed, shall Russians, still held out.

After a siege of forty days, (say !( Gibbon in his history of the decline and fall of the Roman Empire,) the fate of Constantinople no longer could' be averted. The diminutive garrl son was exhausted by a double attack the fortifications which had stood fop ages against hostile violence, were dismantled by the Ottoman cannon- many breaches w-ere opened; and near the gate of St, Romanus, four towers had been levelled with the ground. Several days were employed by the sultan in the preparation for the as sault, and a respite was granted by his favorite science of astrology, which had fixed on the 29th of May, as the fortunate and fatal hour. On the evening of the 27th he issued his fatal orders, assembled in the presence of his military chiefs, and dispersed his heralds through the camp, to proclaim the duty and motives of the perilous enterprize. In this holy warfare the Moslems were exhorted to purify their minds with prayer, their bodied with several ablutions and to abstain from food till the close of the ensuing day. A crowd of dervises visited the tents, to instil the desire of martyrdom, and the assurance of spending an im mortal youth in the! midst of gardens and rivers of Paradise, and in the em braces of dark-eyed virgins. Yet Ma homet principally trusted to the effi cacy of temporal arid visible rewards. A double pay was promised to victo rious troops-. ‘The eity and build ings,’ said Mahomet, ‘are mine; but I resign to your valor the captives and the spoil, the treasures of gold and beauty; be rich and happy. Many are the provinces of my empire; the intrepid soldier who first ascended the walls of Constantinople, shall be re warded with the fairest and most wealthy; and my gratitude shall aceu* mutate his honors and fortune above! his most sanguine hopes.’ Such vari ous and potent motives diffused among the Turks a general ardor, regardless! of life and impatient for action; the Moslem camp re-echoed with the 1 ] shouts ‘God is God, there is but one God, and Mahomet is the apostle of God!’ and the sea and land from Gal- latia to the Seven Towers, were illu minated by their nocttfrnal fires. In the confusion of darkness, an as sailant may sometimes succeed; but in this attack, the military judgment and astrological knowledge of Mahom et advised him to expect the morning, the memorable - 29th of May, in 1458, The preceding night had been strenu ously employed; the cannon, the troops and fascines w r ere advanced to the edge of the ditch,which in many parts presented a smooth and level passage to the breach; and his fourscore gal leys almost touched with their prows and scaling ladders the less defensible wall of the harbor. At day-break, with the customary signal of the mor ning gun, the Turks assaulted the city by sea & by land; & the similitude of i twined or twisted thread has been ap plied to the closeness and continuity 0 their line of attack. The foreriios rank consisted of the host, a voluntary crowd, who fought without order 01 command; of the feebleness of age, or childhood, of peasants and vagrants, and of all who had joined the camp h 1 the blind hope of plunder and martyr' dom. The common - impulse drove them onwards to the wall; the most audacious to climb were instantly pre cipitated; and not a dart, not’a bullet of the Christians was idly wasted on. the accumulated throng. But theirri.i strength and ammunition were ex hausted in this laborious defence; the ditch was filled with the bodies of the killed and wounded; they supported the footsteys of their companions; and of this devoted vanguard, death was aa useful as life. Under their respec tive bashaws and aanjaka, the troop* of Anatolia and Romania were suc> ceasfully led to their charge; their progress was various and doubtful I but after a cqpfiict of about two hours, 1 the Greeks still maintained their ed'
