ARREST OF JOHN HOWARD PAYNE.
—Our readers will perceive will) pleasure, that
lire authorities of Georgia, without waiting for
a call from Tennessee, have done all that jus-
tice and friendship to a sister state required, in
relation to this outrage ; and Georgians will be
gratified at the striking contrast between tbe
letter of our governor, and that of his brother
of Tennessee; and will perhaps wonder, by
what means the latter has reached the high sta
tion which he occupies.

ExiKTTtvn Omc
Nashville, December o, 1835
To his Excellency Mr. Schley,
Governor of the Stale of Georgia.
Silt—It is not without deeply regretting the
circumstances, that I feci it my duty to address
\ou in relation to a very unpleasant occurrence
which is said *o have transpired recently, near
or about the lino dividing the States of Georgia
and Tennessee.
Complaint has been made tome by Mr. John
Howard Paine, that while iie was engaged in
liis pursuits of a literary character, in the
State of Tennessee, at the house of Mr. John
Ross the principal chief of the Cherokee nation,
lie together with Mr. Ross were taken into cus
tody as prisoners, by a company of men de
nominated or called the Georgia Guards, com
manded by captain Young, acting under the
authority of captain or colonel Bishop, who
represented themselves to be acting under the
authority of the State. That they were taken
by this force at the house of said John Ross in
the State of Tennessee and carried by them as
prisoners to a place called in the
Slate of Georgia, where they were retained in
eustoJy as prisoners a considerable length of
time, and that wlrilij in custody, ho the said
Paine, had his papers all taken from him, and a
’part of them lias not been returned to him, and
that he suffered much contumelious treatment
from the officers and men of said Guard, while
thus in their custody as a prisoner, and all with
out just cause to authorise his being taken in
one State in tins way, and carried into another:
or f/rsucli proceedings as the Georgia Guard
have exorcised towards him, while ho was thus
peaceably residing within the limits of Tennes
see, enjoying the hospitality of its citizens as
well as the common rights and privileges of a
citizen of the Union.
If such indeed has been the proceedings and
conduct of the Georgia Guard in this case, I
cannot for a mqpient believe that it has been
authorised, or is sanctioned by the constituted
authorities of the State of Georgia, whose de
votion to the cause of State rights and State
sovereignty, has long since been most fully
manifested. Whi-st I am disposed to respect
most scrupulously the rights and sovereignty of
all other sister States in the Union, and their
just and constitutional authority, I must at the
same time resist the encroachments that may be
made or attempted to be made by other States
on the sovereignty of my own - State, or the
ri glits of its citizens or other persons within its
limits. Should such aggressions be made, and
passed by unnoticed, and the boundary s be dis
carded amongst the different neighboring
‘-tates of our Union,*1 need not point you to the
consequences that must ensue by such a course.
• any of the citizens of Tennessee, residing
'viflnn the vicinity of this transaction, already
Manifest some excitement, which I hope will be
allayed when they find that the course pursued
- the Georgia Guard jn this instance was un
authorised. I need not point you to what must
“tost inevitably soon be the relations between
)*ur States, were the organization of j similar
0rce R»r the. pij^pction of the citizens of Tco-
against such wggreS'i'M'* aT.horisgJ, l
Executive Department, Ga.
?.li Hedged He, December 20, 1835.
To his excellency Newton Cannon,
Governor oj the State of Tennessee.
Dir—Your letter of the 5lh instant, upon the
subject o! the arrest and detention of tbe person
of John Howard Payne by the Georgia guards,
was received in due course of mail. Whatever
may have been the conduct of Mr. Pavnein re
gard to our Indian relations, yet the arrest of his
person by a portion of the guard, within the ju
rist! otional limits of the state of Tennessee, was
a violation of the lights and sovereignty of that
state, not authorized by the authorities of Geor-
gia^ and without their knowledge. The com-
rounder of (ho Guard, Col. Bishop, was in Mil-
ledgeviile at the limn; and the act was don** by
a subordinate officer, who, I presume, was not
aware of the possible consequences of such an
act. Be assured sir, that whilst Georgia is te
nacious of her own rights of sovereignty, and
will always maintain them with becoming dig
nity, she is also the last state in the union who
would knowingly and wilfully trespass on the
rights of a sister.
The act of which you very justly complain, is
not the act of Georgia, hut of a few men, who,
without proper knowledge or reflection have
committed a tiespass oil the person of Mr.
Payne. They had no warrant or authority from
any Department of the government of Georgia
for the act they have done. Their term of ser
vice expired within a few days after that act,
and they were disbanded.
Immediately on hearing that Mr. Payne had
been arrested within the territory of Tennessee,
I communicated the fact to the Legislature, who
as you will see by the accompanying preamble
and resolutions,* have promptly and decidedly
condemned the conduct of the Guard, and dis
claimed any agency in the matter, on the part
of Georgia. These resolutions, which were
parsed on the 22d instant, will, 1 hope, be satis
factory to your Excellency, and prove to the
authorities of Tennessee, that whilst Georgia
wi!i maintain her own rights, site is equally anx
ious t.<» respect those of her sister states.
Very respectfully, ! have the honor to be,
your obedient servant,
WILLIAM SCilLEY.

each of these gentlemen, and are authorized by
tham to state unequivocally, that they bad no
knowledge or agency, either directly or indi
rectly in the capture of Mr. Ross and Mr.
Payne—mid that they consider it an unjustifia
ble act and regret that it took place.
Tbe first information tliat Mr. Schermcrhorn
had of the occurrence, was received, by him,
through the publie prints, while at Tuscaloosa,
Alabama, and immediately thereafter, he left for
the Cherokee country, to do what might be
conceived necessary for their release. He does
not believe that this act was authorized by any
agent or officer of the U-S.; but that it was
the unauthorized act of the Sergeant of the
Guard, in the absence of Col. Bishop.
We are also happy to state, on the authority
of the commissioners, that there is a prospect of
a very genera! attendance at the proposed coun
cil, at which it is thought a treaty will be effect
ed.—Cassville Pioneer, 18ill ult.

LATE FROM MEXICO.
It will be seen bv an extract from the New
Orleans Bee of the 22d instant, tliat the govern
ment of Mexico or its agents have declared a
non-intercourse between the
the Mexican ports, and that the
their harbors have been put
This is intended as a retaliatory
this government for its sanction
unleers of the United States, who are fighting
in Texas- The Mexican Minister is either ig
norant or fool-hardy. This government has not
interfered in the Texas question at all. The
Bee says:
! * The embargo laid on American vessels en
tering the ports of Mexico, is confirmed by in
telligence received yesterday by the schr. J. J.
Simpson, eight days from Metamoras, whose
captain (Mr. Wiley) states that he had been re
quested lo inform our^merchants that Metamo
ras, Tampico and Vera Uruz were closed against
all American vessels. Whether this order pro-
ceded from the government of Mexico, or from
the executive officers of the states of Vera Cruz
and Tamaulipas, we have not ascertained ; but
it is certainly worth the cognizance of our na
tional government.”
We understand that the Rev. S. K. Tal-
rnage has resigned his pastoral charge of the
1st Presbyterian Church in Augusta, and has
accepted an agency for the Oglethorpe Univer
sity.
End of the Fire.—We gave yesterday a
hurried sketch of the circumstances attending
the destructive fire that has visited this city.—
The ravages of the element have now 'ceased,
yet still, as may Ire well imagined, an immense
mass of smouldering materials cover he scene
of the conflagration, which should the wind
rise and change its course, may cause a further
loss of property.
Six hundred and seventy-four tenements burnt
down. By far thogreater part in the occupan
cy of our largest shipping and wholesale dry
goods merchants, and filled with the richest
products of every portion of tho globe. How
estimate the immense loss sustained, or the fatal
consequences to the general prosper ty?—N. Y.
