Executive Department, ) November 20th 4830. J I transmit to both Houses of the General Assembly, copies of a communication received from the War Department, in-answer to a let ter requesting of tile President, the withdrawal ofthe United Slates 1 troops, from the territory of Ho State, occupied by the Cherokees.- Tne L gislature will perceive in the conduct ofthe President in this matter, as well as all others, the disposition to accord to Georgia el! her rights. The removal of the United Sides troops from the territory occupied by tho Cherokees, creates an immediate and pressing necessity for the passage of such laws as may effectually restrain all persons from en tenng into that territory for the pnrposssftalt- ing possession ofthe pablic lands, or taking, valuable minerals therefrom without licence from the State. GEOftGEJL GILMER The Honorable the Speaker and Members of the House of Representatives. tboritie,. and most if eontmoeJ. lead to **- cutties between the officers ot the unitee States and Slate Governments, which it ry desirable should be avoided. No doubt w entertained that the object ofthe President in ordering the United States Troops into the Cherokee territory, was the preservation o! the peace df the Union. The motive is duly appreciated. The Legislature ofthe State is now in ses sion. The special object of its meeting is the enforcement of the laws ot the State, wjthm ountry, and the punishment ot the Gherokee intrusion into it, by persons searching tor goto fin nowers are omplv sufficient for that pur* .

Tfc* tallowing Mb were read the second ishment ot tresspasser will go into operation within a few days, the President is therefore requested to withdraw the troops as soon as it can be conveniently done. The conduct ofMaj. Wager has been very severe to the gold diggers. In some in stances, unoffending citizens have been made the subjects of punishment, in violation af their rights and the authority of the State.-— Complaints have been made to this Depart ment and redress asked for. The removal of the troops is believed to be the most effectual means of preventing the repetition of such in .juries. Information has also been at this De partment that the digging for gold is still ear ned on in various part9 of the Cherokee terri tory, and that th^ extent of country containing mines is so great, that it is wholly impossible to prevent it by the use of military force alone. It is said that the Indians are even more extensively employed in taking gold than before the arrival of the troops. This proceeds from their residence within the coun try, intimate acquaintance with it. and other means of avoiding the operation ofthe troops.- The fear of the whites bad restrained them previously. The President is assured that whatever course may be adopted by the State of Georgia, rn relation to the Cherokees, the strongest de sire will be foil to make them accord with the policy which has been adopted by the present administration of the General G overnment. Very respectfully yours &c GEORGE R GILMER To the President ofthe United States. Executive Department, > Afi/ledgeville, 29th October, 1830. \ Sir;—By an act of the Legislature of Geor gia. passed'at its last session, all the Chero kee territory, and the persons occupying it, were subjected to the ordinary jurisdiction oi the State, after the 1st of June, then next en suing. This act has gene into operation. The acknowledgement by the President of the t'ght of the State, to p**a such an act, renders it unnecessary to say any thing in its just fica- tion. The object of tbts letter is to request the President, that the United States Troops may be withdrawn from the Indian territory within Georgia.

War Department, November 10 1830; Sir:—The President has referred to thi* De partment,-your letter ofthe 29th of last month, advising hitn that the act ofthe Legislature of Georgia, passed at its last session,.subjecting the Cherokee territory, ami the persons occu pying it, to the ordinary jurisdiction of the State has gone into operation, and in reply I have the honor to inform you that previous ly to the receipt of yoUr letter, an order was issued to Mnj. Wager, a copy of which, for your information and satisfaction is here en closed. By it, you will pcceive that he is in structed, as the winter is approaching, to rc tire with his troops into winter quarters. It is. expected that the emergency which induced the troops to enter the Indian Country has ceased Your Excellency entertains a ju*t view ©f the motives which lead to the ordering the troops into the Cherokee territory, as express ed in your communication. It is much to hi regretted that in the execution of his orders ibe commanding officer should have found himself constrained to resort to measures which may have operated hardly upon some todi vidua Is. The President is happy in the assurance which your Excellency is pleased to give, that the measures which the State of Georgia may adopt m relafon to the Chefokees, wdl accord with the policy ofthe General Government Very Respectfully, J. H EATON His Excellency George R. Gilmer. (COPY) Heap Quarters of the Army, > Washington Qth November, 1830. ) To Brevet Maj. P. Wager 4th Reg. of Infantry. Commanding the Troops in the Cherokee Nation. Sir*—The purpose, for which the troops were ordered into the Cherokee nation, having in a great measure been answered, the Secre tary of War deems it advisable upon the ap prosch of winter, that yon retire to some posi* silion where the troops can lie comfortably ac commodated and where they will be in sink ing distance to meet any contingency t hat may arise out of our Indian relations, which cannot at this time be perceived. It is hoped -how ever,that no circumstance will, occur, which will render it necesary again to employ the troops among the Cherokees, particularly a* jhe Legislature of Georgia now in session will doubtless take the proper and necessary steps to preserve tranquility along the Indian bor ders. Yon will therefore with the detachment ofthe 4vh Reg of Infantry retire upon Fori Mitchell; the Artillery with exception ofCapt. Barden's company, now at Fort Mitchell, will retire to their respective stations, viz: the men belonging to Lieut. Col. Fannin’s company to Augusta Arsenal, Capt. Legate's company to Charleston, and Capt. Taylor’s to Savannah, I have the honor to fieSir, vour obedient Servant, *ALEX McCOMB, Maj.
