Major Acnutrong, tho agent for re-

here from the nation, and informs us
(bat about 2,300 Choctaws pie now

tbeir immediate transportation across

enppesed that between seven and
eight thousand * will remove (bis

The following poetry we admit to our

lefpreiation. The transactions to which
it has reference, is that of the United
States troaps, who have been stationed
since the early , art of this year, at the
goid mines in the NatioB, within the lim
its of Tennessee, who were ordered to tbe
Nation by tbe President at the instance o|
the Governor of North Carolina, to re
move the gold diggers I'roai the limits of
oftbeiatler State; and it would appear
by off poetical genius, that they have
commenced building on Cherokee land, &.
as we understand him, from which it was
thought intruders would fly it. A similar
circumstance is known to have occurred
in the Nation in the Georgia limits. The
President stationed six companies of troops
in 1830, at the gold mines, to remove in

so sensible was (he House of tbe in

justly jealous of permitting any thing
like dependence ou the executive
branch of the geverument to exist ou

At present, therefore, the allow
