I jr$st assured that the death or Col Dorrego is Me greatest sacrilice that ) could make in their cause. JUAN LAVALLE. NE W ECHOTAs WEDNESDAY, APRIL 22, 1820. A Cherokee correspondent, whose com munication is this day inserted; informs us; that a few days ago in Hickory Log Dis trict, a young man by the name of *Axp*y, Tsu-ne-qua-li-ski, was so se verely burnt, while in a state of intoxica tion that he survived but three days, and then died a victim to the worst of all evils, Intemperance. Here is another voice to those who indulge themselves in the use ®f ardent spirits, and to those who ardently desire to encourage, by personal exertions, the cause of temperance in this nation.— Our correspondent observes, very justly too, that, “Whiskey is a great evil, anu is the immediate cause of all our murders and accidents. What can be done to stop its progress? Our own citizens have distille ries, and those who will drink have the op portunity of gratifying their desire at their doors. Would it not better Our condition in this,respect, if this one means of procur ing whiskey was taken away? I do not thinie whiskey would he as plenty as it Is now-, if it could be obtained only among the ■whites. ’ There ate three things which go rery much against pur prosperity, and nyhich produce evil forebodings—viz: In temperance, .our difficulties with the state of Georgia, and the present system of emi gration.*’ We have full reason to believe that many individuals of this nation deplore the pres ent state of things, and would gladly con tribute a little, by their example, to the cause of temperance. We give it, as onr opinion therefore, that the establishment of Such a society as recommended by Philan thropist is highly practicable, and ought to be attempted. - Wc beg our readers, our Christian readere in particular to consider, -whether it is not high time Jor them to be stir themselves. The best interests of the citizens of this nation are at stake. What is to prevent our children from becoming sots, if we are indifferent on this all import ant subject, yea, lay the snare with our own bands. We recorded in our last a very worthy TU,t ofa neighbour of our»; that of dispens ing with whiskey at his log-rolling We did not know then that nny other person bad done the same though we were confi dent that the example would be follow'd ' by some. Wc have since understood from a correspondent, that Mr. George Hicks also did the same commendable act. This ,A is right—the Hydra must be subdued by degrees—he must lose one head after ano ther. Let others do what these two indi viduals have done, and very soort one use less and mischievous custom ’will be abol ished. We have received a letter, signed by three citizens of Hickory Log District, which assures us tljat emigration by enrol* . inent has but few advocates, if any. We baj e had, thus far, official accounts of the feelings of the people in regard to this sub ject, from Oougillogy, in the District of Coosewaytee; from Turkey Town, in the District of Chattooga; from Highwassee ’Town-house, in the District of Aquohee and from Hickory Log. Meetings have been held in other places, the results of which have been the same as those above— though we have not been favoured with offi cial accounts. 'The Emigrating Creeks.Thonutt- 't)er of Creek Indians who have alrea dy emigrated beyond the Mississippi, is about 1400: the number remaining ■behind, apout 15,000. The princi pal village at which the emigrants are 'located, is one on the Verdigris Rivei*. ,‘nt the head of steam navigation, and but four thilcs from Cantonment Gib- sdn, Col. Arbuclde is stationed with y«bbut 300 U. States trooos. Dis tance from the mouth of the Arkan- isaw, according to the windings of the fiver, 600 miles, bylandSOO.J Among the Crofeks there is evi dently a greater disposition to emi grate,., than among the Cherokees; and it is possible that the whole tribe will at length consent to removfe. • One important advantage whieh they will 4 gain hj-the measure, and oerhft- s this ■only one, is an eseane from the vexa-' tions occasioned by bad neighbors. B’it by going so far into the \vilderness n here their roving disposition willltave freer scope, and hunting be pursued instead of agriculture, it is almost in- evitable, that their progress towards <ivili?atioq will be greatly retarded. If Georgia -and Co. could be wilting io let them remain where limy are without molestation, it would be the happiest condition, on the whole, which they can ever expect to enjoy. So far as the scattered Indians of Neu - England &, New Y ork are concerned, there is good ^nse in what is said by the advocates of removal: because an Jndiuh po(>ulatVi intermixed-with whiles,- or so sk-.ill as to amount to the bahie thing, is sure to become ex tinct. But where they are collected in a large body, as in the case ol ol the Creeks and Cherokees, and provided With a sufficient extent of territory, it matters hot by whom they are sur rounded, if only they can be let alone, and their iuternl policy not be disturb ed, as has lately been done by the Georgians.—Jour, of Com. The Rev. Wm. Case, superinten. dent of the Methodist missions i i Up per Canada, arrived in this city on the loth inst. He has brought with him several manuscripts for publication Among them are translations, for a se cond and enlarged edition of the In dian hymn books—one in the Mohawk, & another in the Mississaugah tongue, and a spelling boook designed for the use of the numerous schools among the Six Natiou. The gospel of St. ; Mark, also, in the Mohawk language, is in readiness for the press. For the purpose of correcting the proofs of these several works Mr. Peter Jones, of the Mississaugah, and Mr. Hess of the -Mohawk nation, accompanied Mr. Case. Three of the children froiii the Indian schools are also in company; and their appearance is very interest ing. Peter Jones is a licensed preach er in the Canada Conference, and is very useful among his native brethren Since his arrival in this city he has preached several times to large and attentive congregations.-Mo. 4” Jour. New Orleans, March 11. , The following letter has been for warded by the Mayor of this city, to the Great Child of the Choctaws:— Creal-Chief,—This is to inform you, that in this city of New Orleans, has been transacted, bfiore me, Mayor of said city, a compromise between two red men ol your village, to wit, Lana- be and roreshpabe; the brother of Toreshpabe having been killed by L«- nabe, the said Toreshpabe lias agreed to make peace with Lai.abe, for the consideration of two hundred dollars, which sum the said Toreshpabe has re ceived from my hands, on the Condi tion that he as well as his relations and iriends will heuceforwards, keep the peace, with Lanabc. Now I thought of giving you this no tice, that you may use your authority amongst your tribe, to maintain the laithlul execution of said transaction. So may the Great Spirit he always With you.— Bee. Augusta, Aprij 4, 1829. Terrible and awful conflagration.— Yesterday evening betweeen the hours of two and three o clock, our citizens were aroused by the alarming cry of lire. It was soon discovered to have originated in a house ocupied by a Mr Galloway, on Ellis street, about mid way below its intersection by Wash ington street. It almost simultane ously communicated to Broatl and Green streets oil the north and south, and extended to Broad street as high up as the fire proof store of Mr. Big- non, and down Ellis st. (destroying in its course the new Theatre) as far as Mr. Hullinshead’s, situated on the corner of Houston st. It extended up Green street, above Mr. Warren’s dwelling house, and below as far as Dr. Anthony’s—thence taking the direction of Centre st. it communica ted to our beautiful market, which it destroyed, as well as both sides of Centre street until it readied the bridge, and also all those buildings down Bay street to the corner where the old Theatre formerly stood. On the north side of Broad street it ex tended as high up as the brick build ing occupied by Mr. Grannin, a little below the Bridge Bank—it then rush ed below with appallir^ fury, destroy ing in its course every building with the exception of those on the first and a part of those on the second square below Market souaro, until it reached the suburbs of the city, in the imme diate neighborhood of Mr. Course’s plantation. When the fire reached the Market no human exertion could arrest it the wind was S. E. and lashed into fu ry by the flames, they rushcd # and roared through the Igniled atmos phere like Me troubled 6,can—all was confusion ami dismay. The spectators t>f the awful scene Were only aroused from the apalhetio con sternation into which they were thrown, by the occasional & startling' explosions - of buildings, which were blown up by some of the lire compa nies, itli the hope of arresting the'de vouring element. Never has Augusta-been visited with so dreadful a calamity. The number of houses'destroyed are esti mated at from 800 to 8o0—and the loss of property cannot fall short ol half a million of dollars, not a third ol which, it is supposed, was insured. The fire raged about five hours. Va rious reports are in circulation in re lation to it» origin—but' as every thing, at preshnt; is confusion and conjecture, we refrain from noticing them. The hurried details too, which we have made, must necessarily be imperfect. Providentially, no lives have been lost—indeed, wc have not heard of a single personal accident of a serious nature. The private distress consequent upon this terrible conflagration must be great. To alleviate it as far as lies in our power, and as promptly as possible, is an imperative duty impos ed upon every indevidua! in'our com munity, who can spare a sixpence from his pocket. STEPHENSON, THE FUGITIVE * DEFAULTER. ! 1 Much excitement has prevailed in New i ork, respecting this noted in dividual. The prominent facts of the case we understand to be these:— Stephenson Wc.s a wealthy and ex tensive uauker in Eugland. A course ot dissipation, debauchery, and gam ing ruined him. lie embezzled im mense sums'. 11 Hie English accounts are eoireot, Ins conduct was of the most liagiuut and aggravated charac ter. He lied to America. Mr. Peel, Me Bntisa Minister, declared he whjtd scud the whole British Navy alter him, u necessary. Mr. Park ins, Lx-bnerilf ol' London, who had lost l5,uuu sterling 'by him, sailed in puisuit. Orders ueie issued to the British Consuls in America for Ins ap prehension, and high' rewards v\;ere oli'ered. Stephenson arrived in {Sa vannah, was recognized, arrested', and | sent by water to Ne\V York. Here j he was met by ,wr. Parkins. A great i’sensation took place in New York on the suppose ion of Ids arrest and de tention without due process of civil law. The llecordei issued a writ of’ Habeas Corpus in his behalf. A vast crowd assembled to witness the result. I he excitement was very great ag ainst Me persons who held Stephen son in custody. Alternate cheers and hisses interrupted the counsel for and against the prisoner. Mr. Emmett addressed the multitude, to allay the Me excitement, hut with lit tic success. In the midst of this clamor, the Re corder pronounced Sthcpho:ison u free” so. lar as the Habeas Corpus could benefit him.’ —“But,” said the Re corder, as lie held the capias in his hand--‘'l cannot discharge him from this. ' He therefore remained in cus tody of Mr. Shaw, on a civil soil. He complained ot having been treated inn ruffian like manner. A similar excitement on the sub ject prevailed in Savannah. Tree or tour individuals concerned in his ar rest have been taken into custody,& nn appliea.ion has been made to Gov. b orsyth, (or the purpose of procuring Ids return to the civil authorities of that State. Philanthropist. • Unfortunate Adventure.—On Friday evening last, as a gentleman tyas pass ing the Bowery Theatre, he was at tracted by the crowd assembled round the doors, t gaze upon the grotesque figure? that were admitted to tlio Mas querade. IIis curiosity became ex cited, and. notwithstanding several compunctions of conscience, he at last determined to become a spectator - of this “very popular amusement.”— Having paid two dollars for his admis sion, lie entered the saloon, looked on each motley group with wonder, and became fascinated with the scene.— I hut entering into i<s allurements, he partook of the convivinlites. afforded by a set of choice Bacchanalians, till overcome with their wit or their wine, he w’a.s by some good natured being packed up in a carriage and ordered to his lodging*. Unfortunately for the votary of pleasure, his delights are very frequently the mere harbinger of sorrow, and so it proved in this in • \ stance. For ia addition to o severe head-ache Him a thousand othei ins the unfortunate peisou found himsei minus one pocket book, and several Mils and diet ks to the amount ol'hbou £3,0tK). 'The aliair has been inves tigated by the Police, but as the -per sons in whose society the loser spent ! liis merry moments, were masked, ol course it is impossible to discover the thief.—Jour, of Cam. Monthe.-.l, (L. C.) Feb. 14. Briital Atrocity.— We some time inserted a notice of the death, from burning, ot a woman auu four children, in Perth, U. C.—biuce then, strong suspicions have been entertained of the family having been murdered, and the suspected criminal—the husband of the woinanaud tat lie r of the chidren— lias been taken into custody. The suspicion, if no! first excited, was greatly strengthened by the talk of (he surviving child, a boy ol about four years old: who frequently spoke of liis father having struck his mother with a spade, and having thrown burn ing coals among the children, in consequence, Mr. Matlhicson, the Coroner, proceeded with two Magis trates, to examine the house; and from some circumstances that aceur- red, they thought proper to commit T)asby, the supposed criminal, to prison. They n :xl proceeded to have the bodies disinterred, and examinee by medical gentlemen. It was then found that the woman s skull was broken in five places, and the hinder pail of it smashed to pieces. The heads and bodies of the children ail bore such marks of violence as to shew that they iiad been murdered. A paper published in the neighborhood says, Lasby has since confessed the murder. 'The following particulars are re lated by a sou to Mr. Tullis. a decent ana industrious farmer who lives close by Easily s shanty. This young man hearing a noise, and observing a great blaze in Easby’s dwelling ran towards it. On approaching the door he was hailed by Easby’s crying “who comes there?” On making himself known, and offering his service to assist in extinguishing the lire,&, also to leuiaiu in. case of further danger—Easby told to go home, that he had mastered life fire himself, and that no danger could poisibly arise, as lie meant to sif uji till morning. Towards morn iiig he saw a light in the shanty a- gam, and running to it, found Easby sitting by the lire, who told him that all his family were bnrned to death, except tlie youngest child. Tullis then heard a groan in the cellar, and observing to Easby that they were not all dead yet, he was answered that they had been all dead some hours. sqragMARY.
