W. W. HOLT, Mayor.
Macon, June 28.
The agricultural prospects of this section
bf country, so far as regards the promise of
abundant crops, may be considered truly
flattering. During the month of May, and
a part of the present month, showers were
partial and in some places tain was con
siderably needed ; but we believe that veg
etation did not to any considerable
extent. For a few days past, rain has been
general, and abundant, and very timely for
the making of crops. Com anti Cotton
have seldom been more forward, or looked
better. ' [Messenger.
Jubilee . —Preparations are making to cel
ebrate with splendour the a ppo raching jubi
lee in the different towns and cities of the
Union. The religious are invited from the
following text :—“ And ye shall hallow the
fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty through
out all the land : unto all the inhabitants
thereof it shall be a jubilee unto you.”—Le
viticus xxx 10.
Hay. —The recent drought has been pro
ductive in few portions of the country, of
more serious injury than within our imme
diate vicinity. We are deprived not only
of the usual vegetables of the season, but the
crops of hay, particularly on Long Island,
are almost wholly cut off. The plentiful
rain of the last three days, it is thought, will
be only adequate to revive the fields suffici
ently for pasturage, without any mowing,
and most of the farmers, will be obliged to
rely on corn and straw, or other substitute
for hay, very few of them having been able to
cut a single blade. The crop of salt grass
is said to be plentiful, but this of course will
only afford a limited relief.

New Invented Pen. —The New-York pa
pers state that a Mr. Lewis, an ingenious
artist of that city, has invented a pen, which
may be used for years without the least in
jury from wear, or any other cause, save
violence, and which will never require
mending. This gentleman is also the in
ventor of the self-sharpening pencil, which
is combined, if required, with the pen—so
that when the ink fails the pencil may be
used. We look upon this as one of the
greatest improvements in the art of Chiro
graphy, and of great use and Importance.

STEAM TOW BOATS
The following is the decision of Judge
Cuyler, on the prayer of the Steam-Boat
Company, for an injunction to prevent the
steam-boats of South-Carolina from navi
gating the waters of Georgia, with Tow
Boats :
John L. Sullivan and the President Direc
tors and Company of the Steam-Boat
Company of Georgia, vs. James VV. Black
and others -In Equity.
This is a bill filed in the sixth Circuit
Court of the United States for the District
of Georgia. The bill states that the com
plainant, John L. Sullivan in the years 1814
and 1816, obtained two patent rights, grant
ing to him the exclusive privilege of using
steam Tow Boats on the waters of the Uni
ted States. That in the year 1817, lie as
signed to one Samuel Howard the right he
possessed under the patents aforesaid, so far
as respects the waters of the State of Geor
gia. That Samuel Howard associated with
him certain other persons styling themselves.
the Steam Boat Company of Georgia, and|
agreed to assign his rights under the patents i
aforesaid to the Steaoi Boat Company of
Georgia. Tliat the Steam Boat Company
of Georgia have used and possessed the said
patent rights ever since, and have constant
ly been using and running the said Steam
Tow Boats for years past, on the waters ofi
the Savannah River, until some short time;
past, when the defendant, James W. Black,!
in violation of the said patent rights, has
actually been using the Steam Tow Boats in
]the river Savannah. The bill prays for an
' account and injunction—the complainants
■ now apply to me for the injunction. Coun
. eel as well for the complainants as fur the
r {defendants have been heard, and I feel it
’idueto them to remark, that I have been
r| greatly assisted by their argument in ma
- king up this opinion, which is at least satis
factory to myself, and will, I think, on ex
, animation, be found agreeable to the usual
[ course of Courts of Equity in such cases.
" This is an application that I know has ex-|
i cited much interest, and I have therefore)
s taken time to consider it with attention. 1,
, shall not undertake to go into a lengthy in-'
. vestigation of the right of the government of:
the U. States to grant exclusive privileges byj
patent—this has been done by others, and
so recently as to make it quite unnecessary.
Nor need I shew how Courts ofEquity have)
obtained the authority to grant injunctions]
J, to prevent infraction of patent rights—they
■ have exercised the power so long and so con
-7 stantly, that it will hardly be doubted at the
1 present day. I shall content myself with
3 determining what I conceive to be the usual
■ course of Courts of Equity in granting writs
•of injunction in cases of patent rights—and I
- take it, that Courts of Equity will grant in*
) junctions to restrain violations of patent
r rijjhls granted by tho government of lOC U.
i States, on filing a bill and before answer, un-
I less it is apparent, that the patents are void
or clearly voidable, or at least sufficient on
the face of them to create a very strong
. doubt of their legality ; and it is not to be
. doubted, that even in doubtful cases, the
. writ of injunction will often be granted. If,
t then, it be the course and practice of a Court
.ofEquity to grant injunctions to restrain
. violations of patent rights, is there any thing
5 before me to warrant my withholding an
. injunction in this case ?
I have carefully examined the patents,
specifications and assignment, and although
I must confess, that there are defects in the
j- patents, and doubts as to the specifications,
_ and very serious doubts as to the assignment
of S. Howard to the Steam-Boat Company
B of Georgia, yet I am not prepared to say,
that these go to the destruction of the rights
J vested by the United States in the com-
I plainant, John L. Sullivan; and as to the
assignment, there are facts stated in the
bill, which, if not satisfactorily proven, will
’ certaiqly operate to destroy its effect.
These, however must all be left to be de
# termined at law, or at the final hearing of
B the bill.—Being satisfied, then, that there is
I not sufficient before me on the face of the
bill or in the exhibits—being the patents,
specifications and assignment—to satisfy
me that they are not good and effectual, nor
to create such a doubt as to their sufficiency
- as will warrant me in withholding an injunc
s tion, and taking into view that the compfain
h ants have long been in the actual use and
- enjoyment of their patented rights, 1 shall
e grant the injunction. Injunction granted
e accordingly.

plainants shew cause on Saturdaj' next in

Copy of a hitter from Mr. Fulton to Oov.
Troup—dated
Rossvili.*, (Tenn.) June 12, 1826.
His Excellency O. M Troup.
Dear Sir —Since my arrival in the Che
rokee country, I have, accompanied by Mr.
Lumpkin, examined two pusses in the divi
ding ridge between the waters of Tennes
see and those of Georgia. One of these
| passes is situated between the sources of the I
Chattugetta and Creeks ; the 1
first of these creeks empties into the Ostena
lah, and the other into the Teiinessce rjver,
near the Missionary Establishment at Rrai
nerd. The second pass is situated between
one of the branches of the (lighwassie, and
the other is the main stream of the Conny
sauga ; both of these are apparently very ,
favorable,'but until I have taken the levels
I cannot decide which of them will be en- |
titled to a preference , if they are nearly a
equal in expense, I shall give the prefer- <1
ence to the one by Clilccairiauga, as it
will embrace a great deal more of the des
cending traffic of the Tennessee country.
jSo soon as 1 have executed the levels I shall
'embrace the earliest opportunity of inform
ing you of the result. On our way through
!the Cherokee country, Mr. Lumpkin tho’t
it adviseable to call on Mr. Hicks, the prin
jcipal Chief, to explain to him the object in
jvieW; he seemed not much inclined to
jsanction the survey, but mentioned that he
I would in a day or two have an opportunity
| of consulting with the Council on the sub
ject, since which he addressed a letter,
through Col. Montgomery, the Argent, to
Mr. Lumpkin and myself, stating that the
Council had refused permission to make the
survey; notwithstanding this formal noti
fication I am determined to prosecute the
survey until they stop me by force, which
1 have no idea they will dare to do.
I have made alt the enquiry I could res- i
pecting the line between Georgia and Ala
bama, and feel satisfied Nickajack will be
found considerably to the Westward of what |
it is represented to be in many of the Maps,
■ but not so far West as shewn in Sturges
| Map ; the situation of Nickajack [ under
stand is well defined. It has been mention
led by some people that it will probably be
better for the Commissioners to commence
| running the random line from Nickajack to
wards Uchee creek, as by this they will be
able to run a great part of it through com
, paratively level ground, whereas, if they
commence their random line fit Uchee creek
and run it on straight towards the Tennes
see river that they will get into some very
mountainous country. Should you have oc
casion to write to me please address to me
Lawrencevilie, Giwnnett county.
I have the honor to remain, your Excel
lency’s most obedient servant.

Washington, June 23.
The Western Indians. —lt appears that the
Cherokees, West of (he Mississippi, and the
Osages, are bent upon war—on destroying
one another, as if destiny was not already
hurrying them fast enough to the gulf of an
nihilation. Whatever can be done to pre
vent it by Mr. Du Val, the worthy Agent of
the United States, among the Cherokees, or
by the authority and influence of the Execu
tive of the United States, we have no doubt
will be done. If the war be not prevented,
there is little hazard in predicting that the
Osages will be sorely beaten. The Chero
kees have greatly the advantage of them in
physical as well as moral qualities.
The story of the murder of unoffending
white persons by Pawnee Indians, which
forms part of to-day’s intelligence, must be
received with some grains of allowance.
These White People are continually invad
ing the Territory of the Indians, and viola
ting the rights. The wild horses on the 1
territory of the latter are as much their
property as if they were tame ; and the In- ’
. dian, no more than the civilized man, wilt i
permit his horses to be stolen with impuni
-1 ty. We do assert that the Indians are justi
fiable in these murders; but we think it
highly probable they have been committed
in the resistance of flagrant wrongs on the
' part of the Whites.— lntelligencer.

I Insurrection in Brazil. —Letters from
[ Paris to the Bth of May were receivedyes-
I terday, via Barbadoes and Hartford. They
state that an insurrection had broken out at
Cameta a place about 150 miles from Para
up the Arnason, where upwards of 500 men
had embodied and committed some excesses.
. A letter to (he Bth, says 11 the expedition
’ sent to quell the insurgents at Cameta, has
been entirely defeated, with the loss of its
artillery, and more, than 40 wounded. The
latter have arrived here. This business,
which was at first thought unimportant, be
gins to assume a serious aspect- An em
bargo has - been laid here, and the Presi
dent is fitting out a brig of 16 guns, with
;several smaller vessels, including a New-
York schooner, and declares his intention
i of destroying the town in the case of further
resistence. [filer, Adv.
Another instance of the bad consequences
of slight building, has occurred at New-

of the wall, fell to the ground. The house
was nearly finished. ,
