At the last ses sion of the Senate a bill was presented by Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, which embodied the fea ture of this scheme. The first territory will be Cherokee, and w.ll include the Cherokees, Osa- • ges, Senecas, Shawnees and Quapaws; thekecond is to be Muscogee, and will include the Creek ■and Seminole tribes; and the third named Chah-ta -and will include the Choctaws and Chickasaws.

It is suspected they were aided from the outshle. Death of Dr. A. B. Brantley.—We learn (says the Savannah Georgian) by a letter from a friend, of the decease of Dr. A. B. Brantley, of the yellow fever,after an illness of five days, in the 28th year of his age. He died at the resi dence of Matthew Lufburrow, Esq., in Scriven county, at seven o’clock on Sunday evening last. Three weeks since Dr. Brantley came among us and offered his professional services to the af flicted our city. He arrived Iresh from the pure air of the country to grapple with the pestilence, at a time when it raged with the greatest violence and the work of death was progressing with frightful rapidity. Now he is numbered among the victims of the scourge. When the peril was I sorest and our extremity the bitterest, he rushed | to the field of danger, and did manful battie in j the cause of humanity. He fell in a contest with I an enemy mightier than any human foe, and de serves a monument prouder than that of the mili tary hero. Dr. B. was a son of the late Wm. Brantley, D. D., President of the Charleston College, and pas tor of the first Baptist Church in that city, and a brother of the Rev. W. T. Brantley, professor of Belles Letters in University of Georgia. He received his degree from the Charleston Medical College in 1845, and practised afterwards in Raleigh, North Carolina. In 1851 he came to Georgia, and settled in Scriven county. Here his professional ability, warm heart, and urbanity of manners, procured him the highest position and numbers of warm and devoted triends. He died universally regretted. But to Savannah I should his memory remain most dear, for he was amartyrtoa noble benevolence in her behalf, | and fell a self-appointed sacrifice. Let his : ame ! remain enshrined in the hearts of our people. | Our correspondent writes, that the family of I Mr. Lul’uurrow reeeivedDr. B. with the kindness ! of relatives, and all that medical skill, assiduous ■ attention and faithful nursing could effect, were I extended to him, but without avail. He was ' seized on the cars last Tuesday night, when I going to attend Mr. Lufburrow, whose family : physician he was, and whom he had just brought ' into convalescence from an attack of the fever. • Another Merchant Gone.—The same paper | says, we have learned, too late to do more than merely mention the fact, that Mr. Isaac P. Whitehead, of the firm qf Rabun & Whitehead —a gentleman highly esteemed for his worth— died last night. Printer’s Lot in Laurel Grove Cemetery. —The Savannah News says—lt is not so gen erally known as it deserves to be, that, at the very breaking out here of the yellow fever, last month, a lot was purchased in Laurel Grove Cemetery, to Me appropriated especially as a place of burial for Printers. The number of the lot is 6-5. This purchase was dne of the last acts in- the life ot the lamented Samuel T. Chapman, late editor of the Journal & Courier. In an inter view at his residence, only a few days before his death, he enjoined it upon a friend to bear the fact in mind, in case any thing should happen to him. It is now thus publicly mentioned, incom pliance with the spirit of that injunction. The act emphatically speaks his regard and consid erateness for a class of men with whom he was brought into intimate relations through all the most active portions of his life, and is only anoth er added to a thousand evidences of a kind and noble heart. The suggestion is respectfully’ submitted to Printers,and the friends of Printets (and who are not?) i and to the benevolent in general, to erect within the lot, a vault to be called the "Chapman Vault,” and dedicated to receive the remains of deceased members of the fraternity. The remai.xs of Mr. Chapman are deposited in the centre of the lot. Death of Capt. Samuel C. Wilson —lt is with sincere regret (says the Charleston Courier) that we record this morning the death, at about two o’clock yesterday afternoon, on Sullivan’s Island, of Capt. Samuel C. Wilsoj}. Captain Wilson was a native of Georgia, and gallantly served throughout the Florida War as Lieutenant of the Companies sent from that State. On his return he became a resident of Augusta, and was Teller of the Bank of Augusta until March last, when he removed to this city having been elected Teller of the People’s Bank. He was about 43 years of age, and leaves a widow and six children to mourn his loss. In his social relations he was widely known and esteemed for his frank, manly and generous qualities, and a large circle of friends in (Georgia and this State will be truly grieved to learn his early decease, and none more so, we are confi dent, than his old comrades of the Clinch Rifles of Augusta, which fine corps, it will be recollect ed, he commanded when they visited this city in 1853. His funeral will take place this morning on I 'ullivaii’s Island, at eleven o’clock, and will be I attended by the Washington Light Infantry, of j which Company he was an honorary member, to testify their regard and respect for his memory. During his sickness the members of this Com pany were most assiduous in their attentions to him, and his death has cast a gloom upon this noble hearted corps which will not soon be dis pelled. Appointments by the Governor.— o. A. Lochrane of Macon, Ga. Shirley Sledge of Troup County, B. R. Daniell of Atlanta, Ga., have been appointed Aid-de Camps to His Excellency, Gov. Johnson, with the rank of Colonel. Physicians and Nurses for our Sick.—Doc tors Redwood and Hamilton, Physicians deput ed by the authorities of Mobile, accompanied by five experienced nurses, to render assistance to the sick, arrived in' Savannah on Monday morning, and have been furnished rooms at the Stafford House. Should be Encouraged. Ot all of our Druggist Stores, we believe but two can be depended on as open these distressing times. Messrs N. J. Fogarty & Co. are open all day, and the senior partner is subject to calls at any hour ol the night, at tile Augusta Hotel. Mr. Wm. Haines is open through the day only, as he hes always resided in the country. If by the above announcement we have done any Druggist in the city injustice, we will cheerfully make the amende. To our Patrons. We got along as well as we could yesterday with one compositor and our pressman, and en deavored to give them all the current news of interest. This morning we are working two hands, and present a little better appearance. As long as we have one hand left, we will endeavor to issue a half sheet daily, and a half sheet week ly to our country subscribers. Those residing in the city who do not receive their papers regularly will please continue to send to the office for them, as one of our carriers is sick, and ar.other has left the city. Miss Logan.—Tipis lady is now playing at Nashville. She commenced an engagement there last Wednesday night, and was well received.

CCF" We have on hand a communication from Lawrenceville, and as it is a local affair,and we have but little room to spare in our paper at the present time, we must declining publishing. Worthy of the Man. Col. Turner Clanton called at our office yes terday, and requested us to publish the following notice. Such acts should be remembered—will go far to alleviate the present distress, and we hope some of cur citizens, who have the means, will establish a depot in the city, for the purpose ot furnishing the poor with Meal and Bacon, both scarce articles, and very dear at the present time. To our knowledge there is much suffering in our city, among those who have not the means of getting away, nor of supplying themselves with food. Notice.—All persons who have left the city in consequence of the epidemic, will be furnish ed with Meal, free of charge, by applying to Mr. George Hall, at his mill. It is hoped none will fail to call, who need it. Turner Clanton. Gen. G. W. Evans has requested us to say, that he has two comfortable dwellings, with all the necessary outbuildings, at Mount Enon, a place distinguished for its salubrity, which are at the service of any persons who wilt occupy them. ttamarial.

Cotton— This article was very mach neglected in the osrly part of the previous week, but subsequently, a certain degree of activity prevailed, which to some extent was stimulated by the favorable terms offered by sellers, and during the two days preceding the date of our last publication, about 2,100 bales changed h’.nds at a reduction of j a |c.; the heaviest decline falling on the lower grades. The present week opened I with a fair demand, and during Friday, the first I day, 800 bales were sold ac prices corresponding | with the quotations of that morning. Saturday was I a quiet day, the sales having been limit cd to 97 bales, i The demand, revived on Monday, and during j that and the two succeding days upwards of 2,000 bales were taken by purchasers; and tho.Xranac tions would, doubtless, have been larger but ?or the inclement state of the weather, which has to some extent prevented the sampling of Cotton, con sequently depriving buyers of the assortment so necessary to aid them in the execution of their or ders, and to this state of things is to be attributed the partial stagnation that preva led yesterday, the transactions having been limited to*3oo bales. Prices have gradually strengtened daring the I week, particularly on the middling and lower ■ qualities, which, at the close of business, had im proved about ?c.

Courier.} LIVERPOOL, Sept. B—Messrs. Editors:—We hive ro new feature to report in our Cotton mar ket, excepting that the tone has been somewhat quieter, and holders more willing sellers; other wise there is little change, for although buyers obtain a g od selection it is with difficulty and*on ly in casual instances that a concession of 1-16 per lb. in the most current qualities of American can be obtained ; other kinds are without change, but holders find it difficult to effer-t large sales. The sales to day are 8,000 bales; 2,000 on specula tion and export; the market closing rather tamc , ly. The total sales this week are 43.320 bales, of I which speculators have taken 4,190 American, 30 1 Macceiro, 60 Surat, 7 0 Madras, and exporters 3,470 I American, 200 Pernam, 10 Egyptian, 870 Surat, I 380 Madras: thus leaving 34,040 bales, all kinds, to the trade. i The authorized quotations were as follows : Fair i —Bowed fid ; Mobile 6d ; Orleans fijd.

SAVAjXAEr; Sept. 25.—ArrireJ Brig Joseph Albion, Roberts. Boston. OBITUARY. Died at Richmond Bath, on the Bth inst., of Yel low Fever, the Rev. Benjamin Burroughs, aged 45 years. Mr. B. was a native, and at the time of his death, a resident of Savannah, where he contract ed the disease which terminated his life. For some years a Minister of the Presbyterian Church, his daily life yielded the peaceable fruits of righteous ness, and his death presented a beautiful eyampin of the triumph of the faith he professed over earth ly affections and hopes and over the ter .ors of the last enemy. He leaves several children, whose Mother went before him to the world of spirits. Also, at the same place, on the 9th inst, of the same fearful epidemic, his elder Brother, Joseph N. Burroughs, aged 51 years: likewise a native and resident of Savannah, whence became a few days previously, after having consigned to the grave his eldest son. • The deceased, when a very young man, entered into the commission and factorage business, in his native city, and has borne a prominent part in her commercial operations, alike distinguished for in telligence, enterprise and probity. His place among his compeers is vacant, but they will cherish the memory of Jiis worth, and hold him up as an exam ple to the young But there was a narrower circle in which he faithfully and beautifully sustained the near<£t and dearest relations of life, wherein we may not enter. There the sorrow of the mourn ers is too sacred for aught but profound and gently breathed condolence. To the son, Berrien B. M. Burroughs, an abler pen has paid a well merited public .tribute, but there is a fitness in chronicling together ;heir lamented deaths. Father and Son— the one in the meridian of life, the other in the prime and gloiy of its full morning—partners they were in busin ss, and friends. The Son emulated the virtues of his lamented sire, and if spared, most worthily would he have filled the position left vacant by the latter, in the commercial, social and domestic circles. Respected by all who knew them, loved by many, and idolised by the few who leaned upon them, both have fallen. Man had nought to forgive them, and God is plenteous in mercy. “It is the Lord, let Him do as see met h Him good:' DIED. At Acworth. Ga. on the 15th inst., Mrs. S. A. Lemojk wife of Smith Lem<JF, aged 24 years and 4 months; Also, on the 23d inst.. at Andersonville, at the residence of Mrs M. B. Lemon, James Smith, in fant son oi Sarah Amanda, and Smith Lemon, aged 17 days died" At his residence in Burke county, on the 11th inst., Mr. B. L Perkins, aged 48 years, after lin gering with the typhoid fever for some time. He left a wife, children, and many devoted friends to deplore their loss. He was a kind hus band, indulgent father, and a good citizen. Alas, death has claimed a noble victim. Surely, if aught could have softened that rentless heart, his many virtues,, his steady adherence to the cause of duty and humanity, his untiring devotion to (he wants of the poor and needy, should have caused him immunity from his untimely fate. In the duties of his profession, arduous as they were, he never paused even for a moment, when the cry of the sufferer reached his pitying car. Ah ’ why could he not have been spared to us, whose kind and loving disposition endeared him to every heart, while his talents, which were ol a rare and high order, promised fair, in a few years, to rank him as one of the heads of our citizens. While we deep ly deplore we bow in resignation to the Divine will. O, Lord, thy will be done. In Covington, Ga., Sept. 16, Wm. M. Davis, aged 26 years. Tht> vhades of death were falling slow, Within a chamber, where A meek one lay. and, sinking, gazed Into a world more fair. “ Father!’’ he breathed, '• Thy will be done!” And closed his eyes in death ; “Father!” re-echoed through the sky, Thj will be done on earth !” < # # * * * “Fall many an hour has passed, and he, The best beloved of all, Sleeps from his cares and sorrows free, Beside the old Church wall. The bee, at noontide, murmurs there, The Cedar boughs among: And in the evening's silent air, How sweet the red breast’s song.” A Friend. Serini Ibte.

A Warning.—Delay not: harbor not in your mind that sentence of fool’s philosophy, that a disease will get well of itself,or that you can cure it with certain medicines fora few dollars. Beware how you tamper with your general welfare. Ye wild and vicious youths, why will ye persist in dosing with the filthy, nauseating compounds daily proffered, thereby impairing your appetite and digestion, and destroying you mentally as well as physically, when you can be cured with a few doses of pleasant medicines? Ye rakes of every age and condition, why will ye suffer and repine and drag out a miserable ex istence, unfitted for the enjoyment and even ordi nary pursuits of life ? You who are thus annoyed, and wish to be restored to health and vigor by a treatment at once pleasant and effectual, should consult Dr. Morris. His success in chronic dis eases has been greater than that of any other phy sician of his day. Many who havd been for years afflicted with disease or consequences resulting from excess have been restored to health and vigor under his really scientific treatment. Should a personal interview be objectionable, state your disease in writing—enclose five dollars —address Dr. W. H. Morris, through the Posts Office, Nashville, Tenn., and a package of Medi cines, securely put up, will be sent privately, and with dispatch, full directions therewith, and no questions asked. , Persons living at a distance, and afflicted with Scrofula, Old Ulcers, Tetter Cancers, Piles, Fistula In Ano, Gravel, Strictures, Gleets, or any disease iwhatever of an aggravated or malignant character, can be cured at home by consulting Dr. Morris, by letter, post paid, enclosing a fee. These Medi cines. pleasant and safe, can be sent per mail to any part of the United States. % Particular attention given to the treatment of female complaints.
