How superior to all the embellishments ul art is the simple El iquence of Nature 1 Conu of it letter from Peggy nml Susannah A/cintosh, to Messrs.

Gentlemen : Wnen you see this letter stained wilu the blood of my husband,tne last drop of which is now spilt for the neii.l tiltip he has snown for your people, 1 knov yon will remember your pledge to us in be half of your nation, that in the worst of e vents you would assist and protect us—aim when ! tell you dial at .lay light on Satur day morning last, hundreds ol the Husules surrounded our house, and installLl v murder ed General Mclntosh and Tome I usiennng ffee by shooting near one lumdred balls into litem (C- illy and Moody Kennard making their escape through a window ;) they then commenced burning and j lumit-ruig in the most unprincipled way, so tout here I am, driven from the ashes of my smoking dwel ling left with nothing but my poor little naked hungry children, who need some im mediate aid from our wiutc friends ; and we lean upon you while you lean upon your go vernment. About the same time ol tilts morning that they committed the borrid act on the General, another party caught Col. Samuel Hawkins ami kept linn tied until b iut three o’clock, when the Chiefs returned from our house and gave orders for bis execu tion in the same way, nud refused to leave his implements to cover his body up witn, so that it was left exposed to the lowlsol .lie air and Ihe beasts ol Hie lorcst, and Jmney and her child are here in tne same condition as we are—tins party consisted principally of Oakluskies, I’alledegas and Mucktaws; thou ,r n there were others with them, ihe Chiefs that appeared to head the parly, were Inlocknuge of Mucklaw, 1 nine-co-cosco mico, of Arpachouchee, Munnauho, bat I know not where he was from, wno said dicy were ordered to do it b, the Little i iiuce, ami Hopoieth yoholo ; and that tney werej supported and encouraged in it by the Agent! ami die Chiefs that were leit alter the Big Warrior’s death, in a Council at Broken Arrow, where they decreed that they would murder all the Chiefs who had any hand in selling the land, and burn and destroy, and take away all they had, and then send on lo the President that he should not have the land. 1 have not heard of the murder of any others, but expect all are dead that could be catched. Bui by reason ot a great freshet in the Chattahoochee, they could not get Col. Miller nor Hogcy Mclntosh nor the I)arisaws, and they and Chilly are gone to the Governor. Our country is in a most ruined stale so lar as 1 have heard, ylmugn bv reason of the nigh waters word lias not circulated fast;) all have lied liom then homes iu our parts and taken refuge among their white friends, and ileai u there uit now at Gen.

Ware lias come in, and wilt io a lev minutes start with a few men and a lev friendly Indians, to try to get a little some thing for us to cat. I hope so soon as yoi read this, you will lay it before the tioveruo and the President, that they may know ou miserable condition and afford us relief a boon as possible. 1 followed them lo tuei camp about 1) miles, to try to beg ..I ttie.i something to cover the dead with, but it wa denied me.

Fayette County, Jo May, 1825. Mi/ I tear Friends: —l send you tins pa per which wnl not tell you a lit-, but it it nad ten tongues it could not tell ail the truth. On the morning of the 3lHh of April, at break of day, my lather’s house was sur rounded by a party of Hostile Indians lo the number of several hundred, who instantly fired his dwelling and murdered him and Thomas Tustennuggee, by shooting moie than one hundred balls into them, and Im.k away the whole of lather’s money and pro perty which they could carry oft and des troyed the rest, leaving the family no clothes (some not a rag) am provision. Brother Chilly was at fatner’s ml made uis escape through a window, under cover of a Ha>el ling white man, who obtained leave for them to come out that way. ft being not yet light he was not discovered. While tm.se hostiles were murdering my beloved father, they were lying my husband (Col. Samuel Hawkins) with ends, to wait Hie arrival of Itockcliungii,Thloc-co-cos-cuin-ico & Mun iiawana, win. were tlie commanders ai fa Hi er’s, to give urdeisfor the Colonel’s execu tion also, which took place about 3 o’clock tne same day. And these barbarous men, not content with spilling the blood of botn my husband and father, to atone for their constant friendship to both your nation and our own, refused my hands the painful privil ege of covering his body up in the very ground which he lately defended again*, those hostile murderers, and drove me from my home stripped »l my two best friends in one day, stripped of all my property, my provision, and my clothing—with a more painful reflection than all these, that the body of my poor murdered iiusbaud should remain unbuiied, to be devoured by the birds and the beasts. Was ever poor wo man worse off than 1? 1 have tins moment arrived am mg our white friends, who al though they are very kind have but litile te bestow on me and my poor helpless Infant, who must suitei before any aid can reach u.- from you ; but I can live a great while on very little besides tlie confidence i have on you and your government, for 1 know by your promise you will aid and defend u: a- soon as you hear from our situation.— These murderers are the very same hostile: who treated the whites ten years ago as they have now treated my husband and father ; who say they are determined to kill ail win had any hand in settling the land, and whei • they have completed tlie work of murdering • burning, plundering, ami dsstruction, they : will send the President word that they Iliv. I saved their land and taken it back ; um . that he and the while people never shall hav. - it again, which is the order of Hie heads o 1 the nation, by the advice of the Agent.— ■ We expect that many of our best friends an ; already killed, but have nut heard, bv rea , sou of tlie waters being too high for word H ■ go quick, which is the only reason Colour Miller and others on his side of the nv i were not killed. We are in a dreadful con ditition, and 1 don’t think there will be on. ; ear of corn made in this part of the nation -for ihe whole of the friendly party have flei : to DeKalbaml Fayetle counties, too mud - alarmed to return to their houses to get i 1 little grain of what corn they left for them M selves and their families to subsist on, mud ,l more to stay at home and m ike more ; a< i •j we fear every day that wlut little pruvisioi l! we left will be destroyed, lam afraid yoi w ill think 1 make it worse, but how cun tin i be, for it is worse of itself than any pen cat I write.

't Personally appeared before me, Harr -‘f A-len, one of Hie Justices of the Inferit it 'com I for said county, Francis Flourno' W|who being duly sworn deposeth and said w that he was at Gen. William MMmosh’s i the Creek Nation, one of the Chiefs of sai m Nation, on the morning of tlie thirtieth < Ji April last, when about day-break a party i ii Indians, (with one white man among then w hom the Indians said was by the name i *' Hudman, as well as 1 recollect, and vvii m ,aid he was not sent by the Chiefs io mu dor, to burn, nor to plunder, but to act i to loterpreter, and preserve the traveller i- should there be any there) consisting i hi (mni two to ‘our humlri-d, who so soon i iu hey had closely surrounded tlie General i I welling house, and fixed a guard round tl u* nouse which I was in, set lire to the dwel :ig house, and i nine Intelv shot tlie Gei e. er,d, who instantly fell, and wis drawn oi lie of the house with considerable elfcct of H '• flames; and they continued firing at his corpse until I think they had sliot more than fifty balls into him.—They then set fire, also to the house in which this depon " ent and one other white man and three „ Chiefs had stayed all night; and finding* Ihomas Tustennuggee (a Coweta Chiel) within, (hey appeared much gratified, ami shot him almost as often as they had done the General; and this deponent drew him j out from the Haines, and afterwards assisted two other white men to bury them both. *i 1 his banditti were busily engaged from the {commencement of the horrid scene, until a date hour of the morning in plundering and e destroying every thing valuable, as well the: properly of ihe white men who were pre sent, at the property of tiie General, tearing! a frock oil’,if a young Indian female, and I leaving several childre i stark naked carry I ing ofl’a great many negroes and horses,(and j cattle as they themselves told me) ami said} ® they were ordered to destroy wiiateveri 1 they could not carry oil’, and 1 s.iw diem 1 shoot many hogs which they lefi an the ground.

I ohseived, I did not believe that : she re- 1 4 plied, they would not ell a lie on the A • gent, for they must know it would come to I his ears, and they would have to answer for it. Al> nit 11 o’clock, those murderers re turned again, and uftei ascermining that a plain countenanced old man could under y stand some English, f observed to him, “old gentleman, i this the w< y >oi people do ;| “ go to a man’s house and shoot Him and burn! “ibis house, and take even thing m- bus and. y carry it way ; or are Mies bad men, whinj ®| have they done?” He replied, he did not i “|l;ve to kill them, but ihe heads of the N .-I lion snid so. 1 asked il Inlockhu iga and e I'hiocco coscomico were i,be heads of th | Nation ; he answered no: toe Little Prince} d and Hop deth-yoholo were heir heads, now die Big Warrior was dead. 1 replal, these 0 were the very two men that sent word to l>;the Gov. that those Chiefs sh old mt bn a Hurt -lie answered, that t fi.st they did II send that word to the Gov rnor, an then it j 11 was so ; but since that, di- Age t had ai.er : y ed it, and told t!ie Council (hat the only wav |S to get their land back and keep it, was to kdi _ aM 'hat had to y Hand In selling it, a d hunt • and destroy all thev had, which they coanl, y not carry away ; and after that, other C > (s' » never would attempt to -eii tbeir I ml fori 0 fear of being treated in the same wav ; andj “ when they had completed t.h<‘ above as r-| ,• dered by the Council, they would send word y to the President that they had saved tneir 1 land, and (lone took it back ; and umr ln l( and the white people never sh mid have ii 'e again.

I never, in public nor In pri ll vite, heard so great a profanation of the *y word trial as such an application of it. Tiie • {judicial proceedings which we .ire accustom ss ed to call trial, 1 am professionally and ha hitnally taught to revere. The thing isgone “* by, hut with all the respect due to the ad *' ministration ofjustice, to which 1 owe rev r<j erence, the statement made from the chair obliges me to expose, before I proceed fur •V ther, the farce which he calls trial. Trial it us ;is none, where the accuser, who is inlerest e'jed, sits on the bench of justice, and pretends Jl | to administer it [hear, hear,]. None, where the defenceless victim is turned out, expos ed to every shaft which the malice of her enemies can invent or point, and when wis dom and power unite with the power of darkness—trial it was none where all the ris forms of justice, were violated by those who or had broken through them ere yet they could iy, produce themselves in court. Talk to me h, of the pachas, the deys and the beys of Afri in ca, and call them, as they call themselves, lid judges! Talk to me of them with their inin ol isters of vengeance, crouching under thcii ol frowns, and prepared obsequiously to di m, their master’s behests, against their own ofifeelings, in violation of their own oaths and ho principles, and all because their master com n-j mauds them !—lf you hold that a trial, ther as’c one and say that the Queen was tried.— rs, Six days have 1 stood in that place whicl ol they sacrilegiously called a court ofjustice. as I dared to tell them my mind, and 1 did il IN day by day. 1 dare not now tell them my he mind,because 1 yvould have occasion to set II them once more; hut were they to call in* n- before them for telling you what 1 havt mt thought of them to day, they yvould style tha lie too a judicial proceeding; they would stylt l it a trial ! —Were I to compare the place to s any tiling, 1 would say that den, where I t stood and saw their victim cast down, and ■ trodden upon by one of her judges,—one es s pecially who was bound by every honorable 1 tie to protect her, but whom I will not name, I for then they would fall upon me for thus 1 speaking to you, and you for hearing me ; i and therefore I do not say a word upon that i subject. • * * I want to add a few words to I mv young friends, who say that ambition , ought to he the first object of every public ; man. by which they mean place and power, i I conceive that place gives no power at all.— I If place can give power, I can only say that d 1 never saw it do so. Many men are led ■ 'estray by this false construction ol power. jlThe) ought not to suffer themselves to be [iso for the sake of mere office, by the notion j that they are makinga sacrifice to ambition. I How they deceive themselves! Ambition, jin rnv sense ofthe word, is the love of solid, substantial, and independent power. 1 know , of nme who have so little power us the min isters of this country. Something was said by my worthy friend of my being a party j Allan. I know of no way, at least 1 have} ■never been able to discover any way, in} iwhich an honest man cao effectually serve di is country, but by cordially and strenuous ly uniting himseT to some great party. I am not now speaking as a party man. The life of a minister of this country is not one of power, but of base truckling, and paltry, {compromise. He must do so much for one man to secure his cu operation, twice as ! much for another, ari l to a third he must pro nise every thing. I’o one individual he must promise all he asks. If this man holds up Ins little finger he will get any thi ig His language is, go! a Huh rny way to-day, I will go one hundred. | :i 11 d iifu miles with >ou to-morrow ; only! go a little of the wiy with me, and I will go' all the rest will you ; only once, and lorj this day lei me go on diis highway of myj iown, and all the other days of the year I will 'g - wiih you into all your dirty tracks. This is wont they call power, and having liie jroinmand of other me' . The Minister is {like the poor deluded nun who embraced a| c! md, and took it for a goddess ; Uui thei Mi ister had not even the excuse of a cloud 'for his folly, he embraced a mere suggestion, -aying to ir, “be thou my god —power.be 'tie u my god—an i compromise, be diou my ,gl ” I theres re deny that he should he called an ambitious man who seeks place a d calls it power, but that he is the ambi tious man who boldly places hunself in a situation which enables him to buck his country in her need. 1 will nots iy that the place min se-ks power for money, though {Some certainly do—they are not many, hovv |e'cr.

On Wednesday, thrashed seven hours and r twenty-five minutes : quantity not precisely ascertained, on account of the mistake ol j- (hose employed in measuring, hut supposed e to be some short of two hundred bushels. 0 I also thrashed about sixty bushels of rye 1 of two kinds, about seventy bushels wheat, hut owing to the interruption and necessary _ delay of clearing away the grain, to keep the different kinds separate, I am unable Ui ’ be particular as to exact time, witli the ex ■j, caption of forty-four bushels wheat, whicli 0 was thrashed in two hours and forty minutes All the aforesaid labor was performed in sis j days.

AUGUSTA: • \ FRIDAY, JUNE 10. 1825. i .... ■■■- ■ ~ == - ; We publish the Message of his Excel -1 lency of the 3d of the present month, and • shall give the accompanying documents in . «ur next. It will be seen that the Presi . dent expects that the newly acquired Ter ■ ritory will not be for the present surveyed ; • but as Georgia has a clear right to proceed 1 with the surveys, under the consent of the . Indians and the provisions of the treaty, it ij is not probable that the expectation of the • President—somewhat dictatorially express -I:ed by the Secretary of War—will be realiz | ed. We shall at all times regret any state of , | things which may bring the Government of Georgia into dispute or collision with that of jthe U. S. but where we have rights to main- ! j tain and duties to perform, the onward way (must be pursued, although we should tram ple upon (he unreasonable expectations of the highest potentate upon earth. “To keep strictly on the side of right, and with in the pale of the Constitution” will ever, we are sure, be the pride and pleasure of Georgia ; and we trust that we shall not be interrupted in our peaceable and well-go verned cmnse. The outrages of the Indians are about to i be investigated, and with them the charges i preferred by the Governor against the A gent, which are first j A settled determina tion, founded upon unworthy and unjustifi (able motives, to prevent any cession of land in favor of Georgia, and secondly, The instigation of the death of M'lntosh. These are grave accusations, and Major T. P. Andrews, has been deputed by the President to consider the proofs and is now at Milledgcville. We look for yet further lights upon this subject, from the report of .Committee of the Legislature, to whom it has been given in charge. We are informed that the Commissioners fir the sale of fractions, lately on their tri al under an impeachment, before the Sen -1 ate, have been acquitted. The Land Lottery Bill passed the House of Representatives vith only ten votes a ; gainst it, and will doubtless puss the Senate. I The Legislature, it is expected, will com ! plete a laboiious session on Saturday next. GOVERNOR'S MESSAGE. I EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, ? j Milledgcville, Sd June, 1825.3 Tim papers now communicated would have been I,.id before von .is soon a, received, but the measures to be taken m carry , ing into effect the. wishes of Hie President, depending on the i.r - rival of May General Gaines, then daily expected, it was deem* ( ed best to withhold I hem until that arrival, when both the view, of the vrenvral Government, and the measures consequent upon - them could lie fully disclosed It being understood, i.owe.ver, that much public anxiety is manifested for their publication, they are transmitted to you, Von will perceive by those views,' that if the General Government, assuming the exclusive right to ex pound and carry into effect the Treaty of the Indian Springs, shall persist in giving to it the construction which is to be founu "in the letter of the Secretary of U ar, and elsewhere, it would have J" Uetn heller for all parlies that the Treaty had never been con cluded ; for it is quite übvious lo you, that admitting the power f and the construction, the execution of it may be indefinitely postponed at the will of the United States. According to that 9 will, we are not to survey the country because the hostile In. dians who opposed the Treaty have also opposed the survey; they continued to oppose both treaty and survey, and lo conduct themselves in the most hostile and offensive manner. Ibe hos tile Indians would prohibit us from passing lo and fro through Ilia £ country, apd the prohibition would be equally reasonable'; ihe . a< lof survey, so tar as regards Ihe security and peace of the In dians under the Treaty, is as innocent as the act of passing to and r fro. vV kill at therefore by the Treaty, we have the absolute ti(M 3 to the soil, and the absolute jurisdiction, w ith the reservation merely of temporary occupation by the Indians, and of power in J the United States to protect them in their persons and effects, the right of survey even when the consent of those whoceded tlio I’ country is denied to us . and this denial founded on an assertion r utterly destitute of troth, tic—that the troubles in the nation have been caused by the act of this Government, which pro i cured the consent lo survey Ihe country. In the absence of all ■ other testimony, to shew that these troubles had their origin in • others, and very different causes, it is sufficient to enquire what assignable connection exists between Ihe survey of the country _ and the hostility of the Indians/ Ttu survey eonld ueillierext edit* I or retard the removal of the Indians t the Indians were not eer , tain that even wtih their consent the survey would be attempted. ■" Surely therefore if tins bad been the cause of excitement, the" I Indians would have waited ihe event. It is conceivable that the .c. tsiuii of the lands might have produced hostilities—but failin • to do so. it is inconceivable how the consent to survey tber/w which had no relation lo their eventual surrender and aliandon menl ould produce that effect. —The object of the Government I of Georgia in procuring ihe consent, was not to settle the eoun try one day sooner than the provisions of the Treaty would an s 1 thorise.; but in surveying the country to save the time consumed in it mat operation to extend ns laws over it and to settle it iinmcdi | aiely on the departure of the Indians ; and this was of the more • j importance, because the Government was to expect in a short j I time me arrival of their Civil Engineer, and as that was to ba the field of Ins first and most interesting operations, it was neces sary to place him there under the guardianship and safety ol Stir . own la ws. But SO it happens that mis act of survey in winch J no nody before ever saw harm nr cause of offence, is slidden- V ly magnified into an evil prolific of ail other evils, and vhii V merely because the Government of the United -.tiles it is so informed by its Agent—tout Agent who stands coo- I spicuously I barged as the prime mover and instigator ol them all -,vh. opposed the Treaty from ihe beginning—protested it „ in.
