SMALL-POX.—It is this week our pleasant
duty to announce, that no new case of the
sin tll-pox has occurred in Milledfjeville; and we
believe, after strict inquiry, that there are no
symptoms of any new case.
The corporate authorities (jave directed the
publication of a part of their prockedmujs, tor
the satisfaction of the citizens; but they have
executed many precautionary and humane
measures, which do not appear in the publica
tion.
THE INDI AN QUESTION.—The South
ern Recorder lately hazarded a feeble state
ment, that the administration .>f Governor
Lumpkin lias not materially contributed to the
settlement of our Indian controversies. We are
persuaded that this opinion of our neighbours
has been formed under the bias of its wishes,
and not under the direction of its j aliment.
The Recorder betrays its uneasiness at the idea
that Governor Lumpkin will receive the grati
tude of the people for having zealously vindi.
cated their rights, and for his extraordinary
success in advancing the policy pf the Sate.
But the facts are too \v*II known, the evidence
is too clear, to permit him to be robbed of the
laurels which ihe people have awarded to him.
The abstract question, of the right of Geor
gia to extend her jurisdiction, and the authority
of her laws, over the whole territory w uch, by
her constitution, site solemnly declared to be
long to her, has long since been closed. It
bail long since become certain, that, in fact,
her free, while population would spread over
the whole country claimed hv the Indians with
in her limits. In the very nature of tilings, i;
was certain that a scattered, roving, ignorant,
savage tribe, must recede before the pressure of
a dense, agricultural growing, and energetic
free people. The.Iristorv <>f all the aboriginal
tribes of the Atlantic States, lias perfectly es
tablished this position. But the practical ques
tion, ‘*how snail this change 1><* accomplished?”
was still open, when Governor Lumpkin was
called to the exec i ive chair. The favorite
measure of his predecessor was the voluntary
enrolment of individual Indians. -Bur this plan
was utterly inefficient. During the time that
it was in operation, it produced no sensible di
minution in the number of the Cuerokees with-
m the limits of Georgia; and we doubt whether
the number of emigrants equalled the number
of children bo. 1 while tuis system was relit d
on. At the same time an expensive military
guard was maintained among the Cherokees,
whos » principal duty was. the protection of the
gold mines, s nnmary and violent military po
lice being substituted for the regular and peace
ful administration of the laws. But a few
weeks after Governor Lumpkin had entered
on the duties of the executive office, a majority
of a house of representatives unfriendly to him,
by resolution, (with what views we cannot sav,)
sought his counsel in determining the policy to
he pursued by the State. Ditfering in opinion
from his predecessor, and regarding voluntary
enrolment as entirely inadequate to effect the
removal of the Cherokee, he promptly advised
the survey, as soon as practicable, of the whole
country into lots for distribution among our ci
tizons, making a reasonable reservation fur the
use of every Indian. The legislature acted in
conformity w th the opinions of the governor,
and the policy of the State was completely al
tered. She no longer waited for the consent o!
the Indians to the extinguishment of their claims
by the federal government—a consent wiiicffi it
was probable they w\uld neve.-give. The do.
cisive blow was struck, and wo cou'd see clear
ly to the end of our Indian difficulties, la pui-
suance of the opinion of Governor Lumpkin,
the legislature clothed him with a discretionsrv
power to execute the lottery act, and to issue
grants to our citizens, fo>- the lands which they
might draw. This power was promptly exert
ed bv him; the lots were drawn, and grants,
were issued for them without delay. The tidt-
of an industrious, civilized, and-ordeilv popula
tion immediately penetrated, and spread over
the wilderness, cheering their new abodes wi ii
all the arts of civilized life, and spreading over
them the salutary guaru of the laws of tin*
State As the fruit of this policy, the territory
occupied by Indians at the commencement of
Governor Lumpkin’s administration, has been
perfectly organized into eleven counties, whict
have twenty-two representatives in the legisla
ture, and constitute in all resp cts an integral
part of the State.
The judge of the circuit
which they compose mat have failed to dis-
charge important duties; he may iiave counte-
nnnce.d tne attempt of the Indians to overthrow
the jurisdiction of the State; he may have en
couraged their Itotte of driving our citizens
back, by judicial process, from these counties;
but through the whole of that country, the en
tire population, of every different mixture of
bio >d, and of every various shade of complex
ion, is governed by the laws of the State.
T ie operation oftheenrollingsystem, the plan
winch was relied on by Governor Lumpkin’s
predecessor, has not contributed to this benefi
cial change. But a very small proportion of
the Cherokees have emigrated; and tne remo
val of those wit ) Iiave gone to the West, has
served but to increase the majority of those in
the state, who are hostile to out policy; and to
confirm their ascendancy in the tribe. Nor is
the change to be ascribed to a treaty; tor the
most liberal terms have been rejected by the
party opposed to emigration. It has been en
tirely accomplished by the measures recom
mended by Governor Lumpkin, and carried by
him into execution, with decisive promptitude,
and untiring vigilance, and pc.severing indus
try. Nor lias he quietly suffered any obstacles
to retard or obstruct their execution: but has
encountered such hostile efforts with boldness
and energy. His enemies Iiave accused him
of assailing the independence of the judiciary,
in the zeal with which he has pressed the exe
cution of his measures for the settlement of our
Indian difficulties. This charge is unjust; his
zeal has been guided by a due regard for the
-constitution and laws of his country. lie evinc
ed his respect for the judiciary, by employing
counsel to appear before the judge of the Cher.
okee circuit, in ore! -r to avert, bv argument
the establishment of priori I- s at enmity with
the peace, and digm v, and sovereignty of tin-
state. When that judge was believed to be un-
failhiul to the high trust committed to him by
the state, the governor, in plain, and manly,
but temperate language, rebuked his rriiscon
duct, and called on the representatives of the
people to apply a suitable remedy. Ac'ing on
his counsels, the legislature has deprived the
judge, whose conduct proves him either weak
or faithless, of a power conferred on him by
law, and which he had employed agmnstihe
honor and interests of his country. We trust
that this last measure will lead to an early con
summation of our Indian

about six weeks'old, of the sam family; Mr. Elias Lusk;
Mrs Lusk; a Mr. Hilt, and a negro. I’he storm began a-
boiti nine o'clock, P. M. and was over in a few minutes—
the severest injury I laving been sustained 111 the interim of
live minutes. Mrs D- graphenreid, though not dead, is
shockingly mutiiated, and will mull probability not recover.
A negro girl li.•longing to ihe tinnily, was blown into the
fire, and there confined by a beam until the storm was over,
» hen directed by her scr.-aius, assistance was atf'orded. In
this excruciating situatkin, she lay literally roasting alive,
tor nearly an hour.
W.-have since visited ihe scene, and hay never in our
life wiinessixi such desolation. Houses are lorn from their
foundations anil scattered belbrethe winds—ti nces are level
led—trees are uproot d and piled together—every tiling is
swept to the earth, fragments of furniture, buildings and
timber, and bodies oi dead animals, li" scattered promiscuous
ly over the ground. VVe noticed one of th< ground sills of
Mr. D graph nr ad’s house lying one hundred and fifty
yards trom when* the house stood—there is nothing remain
ing of the house but the oases of the chimneys, the chimneys
themselves having been blown away. Some of the dead
were found blown upwards of a hundred yards from the
house; and a pail of the roof, we understand, has been found
three miles distant. Some conception of the velocity of Un
wind may h - had frurn ih" fact, that in a green lynn tree,
near Mr. Lusk’s dwelling is to be seen sticking almut twen
ty feet from the ground, a broad piece of poplar plank, firm
ly driven in to the depth of, apparently four or five inches,
and at an angie of about forty-five degrees across the grain.
Scv -ral other houses were unroofed and blown down, but
we have heard of no additional loss of life.
We have since ascertained that the tree in which the
plank was driven has been felled—and that it is tbuud the
end ot the plank (perfectly square and blunt) penetrated io
the d 'pih of ihre" anti aquart-T inches.— Tennessee paper.
Important Decision—The supreme court of the United
Suites has determined the ease p nding Ibr many years be
tween Ooliti Mitch-*11 against the I mt -d Slates, in favor of
the claimants. By this decision the claim of Mitchell and

- fourteen hundred thousand acres of land were involved in
this suit, and in which ar*; included the townships of Apa
lachicola, Magnolia, and some other \atuuble districts of
country. Upon this subject the Charleston Courier re

The Pirates.—The interesting circumstances in relation to
tb : r pri >ve laHy gr imed to the pirates under sentence of
death in Boston, arc generally known Mrs. Child, wife of
David M. Child. Esq. of Boston, who was of counsel for
the pirates at their laic trial—a lady well known to the liter
ary wotid, having ihe strongest conviction of the innocence
of the accused, went to Washington fur the noble purpose
ol laying the matter before the president, and to ark lbra re
prieve, on the ground that the circumstances of the rase
plainly indicated th" exiwenre, in a foreign port, of evidence
that would have an impartial bearing on the cac . She had
an interview with the president and retired, leaving him ful
ly possessed of all the in"rils of the petition. The president
sent for the attorney general, who reviewed the whole mat
ter, and decided that there was not sufficient ground tor
granting a reprieve. VV lien ihe president nmiunueed this
decision to Mrs. ( hild, th>* whole interview, is said to have
been inexpressibly affecting. Tha lady fell on her knees
and entreated him to reconsider the subject; Ihe persons pre
sent, including the president himself, were dissolved in tears;
but he remained firm to his decision, and the lady left
Washington tlte next morning w ith a heavy heart. She had
scarcely reached home, when the marshal received a warrant
reprieving ihe persons condemned for three months. '
ow, whether the pirates be innocent or guilty, no one
can sutfici. ntly admire the courage atul self-devotion ofa la
dy who could undertake such a journey alone, at this inclem
ent season, and go through tlie immense and formidable task
of urging such a petition. The president, doubtless, was
moved by the extraordinary enthusiasm of Mrs. Cliildc* to re
consider the matter, after she had left the city, and as, in
such cases, where there is the least uncertainty, that mercy
which should always temper the justice which resides in the
breast of a chief magistrate, will always prompt him to err
on the safe sule, lie resolved- to grant the reprieve, that the
suppos'd evidence'might he obtained, if it really existed. .
if Ihe men are m met guilty, it will appear: if innocent.

“An honorable arid learned centleman, however, told
them that the Cmndian partv would never be satisfied unless
th^v had an effertive legislative council. That might or
might not he a proper thing to introduce into the colonies;
but such an experiment would be a complete departure from
nil the principles of British legislation, by which llie colo
nies bad hitbprto been governed. It was said they Would
rebel if the whole of their demands were not conceded, be

“Maintained that the feeling and disposition of the people
in Canadn was now perfo P f| v analogous to those of the Ame
ricans in 1771: and lie contended that the man who came
honomhlv forward and stated the facts, was the person who
was rendering better service to the country than one who
would disguise the danger, who would misrepresent the cir-
cnrnsianecs of the case, and lull the government into a fatal
reenrifv ”
Si- Robert Peel said—
“Th* honorable gentleman lnd told the house that, unless
rwrv one of the ^ tnnnds of thp petitioners vvpre acceded to,
thn* would rebel and he followed up that by enlarging upon
the friendly feelings entertained towards this country hy
the thirteen millions of inhabitants of the United Stales,
felling them that all the old jealousies nf the American peo
ple hid disappeared—that between them and us nothing hnt
reciprocal good feeling prevailed—that, in a word, thrse two
greet countries were upon the best possible terms; but that,
nevertheless, if there should he a breach between this conn-
trv and the Canadas, the United States would interfere in a
manner hostile to England. Now, he would gladly learn
whether the great country to which nllusion was made had
authorized the honorable gentleman to state in his place in
parliament, that, in the event of a resort to arms, the Unit
ed States would join the rebel inhabitants of onr colonial
possessions? He believed that no such statement had been
authorized. If the Canadian people, or any part of them,
nut forth any menaces, or made any rebellious declara'ions,
lie made no counter-declarations; the government of this
country would still do justice, and the indiscreet menaces of
others would onlv have the effect of raising up public opinion
more strongly on their side; and that every fresh act of ip-
insfire. every fresh ebullition of intemperance, would recoil
nnon their authors, and give new strength to the govern
ment which disregarded those menaces, despite of which
thev were resolved to proceed. (Hear.)”

I»R ESEATUIEUfTS
Of the Grand Jury of Coweta County, Georgia, March
Term, 1835
T HE Grand Jury of the caunty aforesaid, in. discharge
of the obligations which ihey owe to ihe community,
also as public conservators of the peace of said county, beg
leave to present, as follows:
We preser t, as a grievance, the existing system (if expen
diture of the Poor School Fund. That it has proved whol
ly inefficient, as herelofore appropriated, there can be no
doubt. We, therefore, request onr senators amt representa
tives in the next legislature to use their exertions lo have an
act passed adding the academic fund of this county to the
poor school fund, and placing tho sn,m e in the care of the in
ferior court for the establishment of free schools through
out the county.
The committer, appointed to examine the account and
vouchers of William A. Spear, county treasurer, report, that
there is a balance m his liamis of fifty dollars ninety-five
and a fourth cents, iqi to the 2d instant. The exhibit made
by him, as county-treasurer, presents a specimen of neat
ness and accuracy highly creditable to him, and claims the*
express approbation of this body.
From tlie late period at which the tax-collector brought
in his insolvent list, we refer it to the next grand jnry; and
that he proceed to scllle off his account subject to his claim.
The several committees, appointed to examine the books
of record of our county, report them to be kept in that way
which reflects the highest credit ou the Several officers
who have them in charge.
From the number of bills of indictment before this body
in w hich Joseph F. Stokes was concerned, we have been
enabled to inquire into the general conduct of the said Jo
seph F. Stokes, and we find him to he a general disturber of
the peace. We therelbre recommend to the citizens of this
county, and all friends lo peace and morality, not to raise
such characters to a level with themselves by noticing their
insults, but to consider them in such conduct beneath the
dignity of men, much less a moral community.
We present Silas Reynolds for permitting his negroes to
keep a public house on a lot separated from his own, in the
town of Newnan. Witnesses Charles Eiulin and Norman
Bradley.
We cannot close our presentments without adverting to
our incongruous judiciary system—defective, we say, for the
want of a court of appeals ibr the correction of errors. Our
judiciary at present represents a*Hydra with ten heads all
inclined to move in opposite directions, and our citizens are
daily hearing decisions as opposite as the antipodes by the
different jiidg<*s without being able to redress their griev
ances!!!
It is in vain for us to say that we are a free people, and
point to llie constitution and laws us the citadel of our liber
ty, when there is no certainty in the administration ofjustice.
We therefore most earnestiy'request our Senator and repre
sentatives at the next session of the general assembly to vote
for the proposed amendment ofthe constitution, constituting a
supreme tribunal to render tlie adinitiisiraiioii of justice uni
form throughout the Slate.
In taking leave of his honor judge Warner, we respectfully
tender him our sincere respects for tlie ability and prompti
tude with which lie has despatched tlie Justness of the
court during Ihe term.
We also present our thanks to the solicitor general, Young
J. Long Esq. for his courteous attention lo our bodj' and oiler

for the follow ing reasons, to w it: That where the matter was

was purchased out of the common fuudsofthe citizens of
this place, each hearing their proportionate part in propor
tion lo their property. 2d, 'Hull a dreadful and distressing
calamity has cummencrd its havoc among us, ond the uni

that »fne half of the adult eitizen* of tl«* place, could per
