At present wc wait to know with whom we arc at issue.
The following extract we have taken from n commu
nication to the Cherokee Phumix, giving an account of
the distressed situation of the Creek Indians. Wc have
noticed their destitute condition before, and deeply re*
gri lled that any change should have taken place in the
policy of the General Government, by which a portion
of tlio Indians have been deceived in their expectations
of being removed at the public expense. It is |jut the
pail of justice and humanity, that their situation should
lie attended to, and their wants supplied, until they
can he comfortably settled in their Western home; es

I ground a small parcel of each to a fine paste, and
submitted them separately, to a white heat in a fur-

from Habersham and Carioll counties, and also the

The valuable specimen from Columbia county, Geo.

road side, leading from Washington, Wi'kes county,
to Augusta via Baysville. Its deposit is said to be ve

only 18 or 20 miles N. W. from Augusta. I find pro

localities in the United States, besides the one in Geor

Dr. Ramsey, in a short biographical sketch given of
I)r. Alexander Garden of Charleston, in the 2 v«»l. «-f
his fiistory of Soutfi Carolina, has insettr d the following
statement: “ To extend his (Dr. Garden’s) knowledge
in Natural Ilistorv, he accompanied James Glenn, Go-
vernor of South Carolina in the year 1755, when 1»p
penetrated into (he Indian country, anti formed a trea
ty with the Cherokees in their mountains. In this ex
pedition. Doctor Garden disfotem! an earth which
upon a fair trial hv tlie Manufacturers at Worcester in
Great Britain, was deemed equal to the finest porce
lain that was ever imported from India. Unfortunate
ly no preciso knowledge can he liad of the spot where
this valuable earth w as found. Hitherto no advantage
has resulted from this discovery, though no doubt ex
ists of its reality and importance.”— llamscy's History
of South Carolina
Whether the Kaolin or porcelain clay discovered by
Dr. Garden during Gov.Glenn’s expedition, he theoame
with Prefessor Cleveland’s locality, or that on Green
Briar Creek, I am not able to determine ; though I
ennreive it quite possible, as Columbia county, in 1753
if not actually inhabited by the Cherokee Indians, munt
have bordered very closely on their territory, and we
are not informed what particular route Gov. Glenn pur
sued. Of one thing, however, I feel satisfied, that
whether the locality on Green Briar he the same that
Dr. Garden discovered or not.it will he found altogeth
er equal to the -epreimen he sent to Europe,
It hns for r long time hcen known that the beast
Chinese ware is manufactured from Kaolin, which is
mostly aluminous earth, united with Pttunze, a silice
ous earth. But the Kaolin tram Columbia rountv,
seems to be so finely united with silex in its composi
tion, as to render any addition of Fetiinzc for manufac
turing it into porcelain ware unnecessary.
Ware almost as good a“ that from China, is now ma
nufactured pretty extensively in France, and especially
a\. Sevres, where the ware made is more beautiful than
any in Europe.
It is not probable that the facts I have given, can he
of any immediate utility; but I concluded that it would
bo well for their existence to be generullv known, that
in the event any French porcelain manufacturer should
be disposed hereafter to conduct his trade in our coun
try, ho will readily know where to obtain the very best
materia! in the greatest abundance. Respectfully vours.

not como until January nfxt, wo arc not entitled to
any interest by tho custom of tho Department. I have
written him repeatedly concerning tin* line, suggesting
important alterations, and have not yet received the
scrape of a pen from him; when I am sure from expe
rience, his predecessor would have answered every let
ter promptly. It is only necessary for the most com
mon observer to look around him, and sco the total
want of connection in the different mail routes to con
demn him. Ask correspondents, and they will tell you
what a derangement there is in the Department. U hen
Mr. Barry went into office, he found every thing there
unto pertaining well, and advantagcoi****- ...-ranged.
I.ast December tho old contracts expired, ami the new
ones cominencedjon *!;»• first day of January last, for
the ensuing fi.'Jr years, and hy the way of getting a lit
tle newspaper eclat, innovations were made on the old
arrangem* nts, by expediting the iiiail a few hours
some instances, at a vast expense to the country,
without keeping up a proper connexion in others ad
joining. " hile some alterations have been made in
routes since the new contracts have pone into opera
tion, and not corresponding alterations in those imme
diately connected with them.
I have not yet been required to give bond for faith
fully conveying the mail, (which it is usual to do) and I
have recently heard other contractors say, that none
had been required of them; that they had received no
pay, neither could they get their letters answered from
the Department, no matter how important. If Mr.
Barry should withhold our pay much longer, I know
some contractors who are unable to keep the mail go
ing, and should they be compelled to stop, I suppose
they would bo chargee for each failure. Should such
a case present itself, I have no doubt but that Congress
would be appealed to with success.
Mr. Barry’s case furnishes new evidence of the truth of
an old aphorism, * 4 That he w ho does not mange his
prlvat# iffaira advantageously, i« unfit to manage the
tflairs ^others.” It is unpleasant for a friend of the
admit'"-' ation to be thus driven to complain of one of
n.v members. I am induced to believe that the Presi-
den does not know of the inattention of thn Post Mas-
■ *r General to the Department, and think it quite pro-
Ni l #thst Mr. Barry does not know himself how much

reputation by voting for one man as President,
and lor his bitter enemy as Vico President.
U e must do now, tvltat were the usages of
the Democratic party in former times ; when
it used to be Jefferson nnd Clinton, Madison
nntl Gerry, Monroo and Tompkins. Those
who aro candidates for the first and second
offices in the Republic, most be understood to
think politically alike, oral least, not altogeth
or unlike—and besides, to lie on friendly
terms. The position in which tlio Vice Presi
dent is constitutionally placed in the event of
the death of the President, requires that he
■ ho nitty succeed him hy God's providence,
should not he one who would undo, suddenly,
Iho course of his predecessor’s policy, nnd
who might use the patronage ol his place, to
displace the incumbents of the Departments,
ns well as the subordinates of office, to secure
his election to the Presidency, hy the people.
Those, therefore, who will think upon this
subject will come to tho conclusion, that to
have persons for tho Presidency, and Vico
Presidency, who, upon great questions of pub
lie policy and constitutional powers, think
alike, is not n mere arrangement of party but a
constitutional expectation. Ilistorv teems
with examples, of tho injury which nations
have sustained, hy having in tho executive
offices of government, thoso who are not in
amity with each other. But we repeat, no
thing less limn the most unequivocal declara

is not an advocate of iho re-election of Mr.
Calhoun to the Vice Presidency, will satisfy
tho people of Georgia ; for io Jackson’s Ad

marks, speaking of Mr. Gilmer,
“ His greatest error was in his recommen
dation of a law to take from fortunate drawers
tho precious property found in tho bowels of
the land, which may be drawn in the coming
land lottery.’’
Now, when urging theso objections against
the Troup party, and ngr.inst Mr. Gilmer, nrc
they aware of tho fact that they ore support
ing a man just ns liable to objection on these
grounds ? Do they know what Mr. Lump
kin’s sentiments are on these points I If they
do not, they can he informed what his senti
ments once were. Read the following letter
and note its contents. Mr. L. was, in 1821,
in favor of reserves, or higher prices on the
grants of the drawers of good lunds. And the
lands proposed, by Mr. L. to be reserved,
were to be sold, we presame ; as they were to
raise u fund for certain purposes specified in
Ins letter, and therefore, stood as good a
chance to gel into the iintids nf monied specu
lators, ns those which the Clark party, now
charge that the Troup parly will reserve and
sell.
Besides, what difference is therein princi
ple between " taking from the fortunate draw
ers, the preciens property found in the bowels
of the land,” as the Clark people say Mr.
Gilmer wished to do ; and raising “ funds
therefrom, by laying a higher price on the
grants nf the fortunate drawers of good land,”
as Mr. I.ompkin wished to do in 1S21. In
their essence, so far its we are able to pene
trate into the two measures, they amount to
just about the same thing.

the eastern division of labour, about 198 miles
of market road have been cleared of roots,
stumps and other obstructions to a width of
30 feet, causewayed, ditched, and thrown ap,
so ns to make travelling safe at least. Thu
proportions of this work, are as follows, fie-
'tween Augusta nnd Athens 52 miles—between
Augusta and Milledgeville 67 miles—between
Augusta and Petersburg 2 miles, (on which
work is just begun with a small company of
hands,)—between Savnnnah nnd Dublin 56
miles—between Milledgeville nnd Eatonton
11 miles, and between Milledgeville and
Monticello 10 miles. The work on the Sa
vannah and Dublin road, has been suspended
for some months because of the desertion of
the public hands, nnd some unpleasant cirrom-
stancos connected with this defection. No-
thing has been dono on Ihc rivers this year,
for want of suitable seasons, and competent
overseers to direct efficient labours on them.
It is proper tn remark, that thn authorities of
the several counties in which the public la
borers have been e.mployed, hnve hcen entire
ly neglectful of their duly, in preserving tho
condition of those roads tirnt have been put in
repair. The amount expended in the work up
to the 1st of July (instant) has been 18,013
dollars.—Georgia Journal.
Wo were shown, a day or two ago, Ihe mv
del of a Machine for washing gold, construct
ed hy our ingenious fellow townsman, Mr. A.
I). Brown. To us, though as ignorant of the
art of gold-finding as of that of money-ma
king, the machine appears admirably well cal
culated to effect Ihe purpose intended ; and
on a far moro economical plan than any we
Imve seen in operation at tho gold mines.
True, it is somewhat more complicated in its
construction ; but the saving nf manual lalmr
is proportionality augmented—tho same wntk
being dono hy onn hand with this machine that
in Iho ordinary way requires threo or four.
Another advantage would result from the use
of this machine : besides being more expedi
tiously separated, fewer of the particles of
gold would he lost. We understand Mr-
Brnwn intends taking out n patent for his in
vention. May he reap as rich a harverst of
gold in the erection of machines, ns will those
who use them.—j\Iacon Telegraph.
Tho Legislature of Massachusetts have
passed a bill appropriating $7,000, for flic
erection of a sale and suitable building for a
Small Pox Hospital on tho State’s Lnzaretln
Island in Boston harbour, and it is proposed
now to erect n plain, but convenient two story
building, of rough stone—with a sufficient
number of neat and well-ventilated apartments,
to accommodate an increased number of pa
tients, with a proper discrimination ns to the
stage of disease, nnd its mildness nr virulence,
nnd distinct locations as far ns practicable.
The Legislature of Georgia was applied to
nt its last session for about half that sum, for
Iho erection of n Small Pox Hospital in litis
harbor, to protect the state against the intro
duction of that horrid disease, and its humani
ty nppealed to in behalf ofils victims, hut the
bill was rejected. We arc now without any
receptacle for persons with contagious disea
ses.ns the miserable building hitherto used ns r.
