Tliii* case lias come up at Iasi, for a linal set- tlemcnl. For a long time, a serious difficulty | lias been browing in that quarter from this sub-1 , . c t and it has been with surprise and astonish. ' moot, that we have seen tlie citizens of Marion, putting up with the imposition of these vaga- bond fndians foisted upon their society, without risinir in their strength, and driving them be- vonif the Chattahoochee. They have not, however, put up with this nuisance, without re peated retnonsiranee, and efforts, to rid them- selves, and county, of this their intolerable grievance. They have frequently and ea most ly requested the Williamses to send these Indians across tlie river, to their own people, where they properly belonged—they have alternately, threatened and remonstrated and that lor a Ion" time; yet their requests and threats, and remonstrances, have alike been in vain: tin* Indians have been kept in their very midst, obstinately, contrary to tlie well know^and ex pressed wishes of a largo majority of the peo ple of tlie county. A day of reckoning lias at * length dawned, and tlie people of that county ; ha\°e risen in their wrath, determined in sheer j justice to themselves and families, and in defence 1 of those moral and religious principles, which j it is the imperative duty of every good citizen to stand by and defend, to have these drunken and rojrueish, and wolfish, and dangerous pests, emigrated at once, at least beyond the confines of their own county. Now that there is a good chance to have them carried olF, we hope ami trust that tlie citizens who have associated to gether for this laudable purpose, will never cease in ilieir praiseworthy efforts, until their object is effected. Notwithstanding they have been recently frustrated by llie open resistance in arms of these Indians, headed (strange to say) by the Williamses in person, who have said they will defend them to the last extremity.— We hope with the aid of our energetic and watchful governor, and the well wishes of an outraged community, they will go on, and never turn back until these rascally gangs of Indians are broken up and finally driven out of their counly. VVe publish below a letter addressed by his Excellency to Mr. William Williams upon this subject, in which it will be seen, that Governor iScliley has done all that a man can th), to have lies difficulty settled, without the ap plication of a military force: a more polite and satisfactory course could not well be devised, lhan the one suggested by his Excellency.— But how was this received, and how were its re- qnests treated? VVe learn from a gentleman who btought back the result of the interview, that Mr. Wiley Williams said, ho commanded in tlie county of Marion, and should pay regard lo no such or dm, and finally'set the request of tlie governor and the company at open defiance, having armed the Indians and a number of white men under his control, lie is said to have expressed himself, on tiie part of iiis company, prepared to defend the persons of the Indians, be the consequences what they might. We are utterly astonished at such conduct, and when we reflect from whom it comes, we are still more astonished, why or how Wiley Williams should take up arms in defence of a gang of worthless Indians, and that, too, in defiance of the wishes of his fellow.citizens to get rid of an evil, we are at a loss to account. We do hope, for the re spect in whicli that gentleman has been hereto, fire held, and for tlie respect which should be paid to tlie wishes of an executive, and in obe dience to tlie wishes of his own fellow-citizens, that he will reconsider the course whicli Ik* has high as six hundred; but it is evident • V> i* from three hundred a, u fifty : . . no -d strong, exclusive of negroes; and that the ad vantages of position are so great, that i: will require more than an eaual fire;- to attack him in his town.

A PA RTY PREFERRING MEN TO PR N- ClPi.ES IS ALWAYS DANGEROUS TO LIBER ric.—It has often been made a question, whether the existence of parties in a republic is beneficial, or injurious; and ingenious arguments have been urged in support of each of the oppo sing opinions. This question is materially mudifi. ed by the character of the parties in each case, and tiie principle of attraction and cohesion, whicli draws and binds together tiie elements of whicli they arc composed. Parties may be founded on an attachment, either to principles, or to men. Under most free governments there are diffiirent systems, each of which lias its ad vocates. Sometimes the democratic principle contends against the aristocratic principle; and sometimes one of these contends against the monarchical principle. Tlie respective parti sans ol each of these principles may honestly believe time their own system will best advance the happiness of their country; and being them selves influenced by the spirit of patriotism, tin y will check the abuses of power in their leaders. The rivalry of parties of this character is bene ficial to a republic. The success of any one of them only increases to some limited extent, tiie influence of its favorite principle; while the watchful rivalry of its opponent, and the danger of losing its reputation and superiority by a buses of its power, will guard it against excess es. Dissentions between tlie patricians and the plebeians, the aristocratic, and the democratic parties long disturbed tiie peace of Rome; but amid these tumults, liberty was not destroyed When the aristocratic party prevailed, tlie free- A small portion of the old Clarke party, ap parently unconscious of tiie obliquity of their course, have fallen into the error which we have been exposing. They felt a natural and just affection for Judge White, while he was co-operating with them in maintaining principles which they believed to be essen'ial to the pros, po'-ity of their country. Judge White has since associated himself with the vvhigs and nullifiers, o are enemies to those principles; his success •-oita! defeat those principh s. Should lie be elected to the presidency; lie will owe his eleva tion to Clay, and Webster, and Calhoun, with their friends. He will *be obliged to lean on these men; they will organize Iiis cabinet, and direct bis measures. Should he endeavor to make himself independent of these, his suppoit- ers, he will have no resource left; for the de mocratic parly tias long since ceased to confide ui him. There is now an inflamed and angry opposition between him and tlie democratic party, which has produced mutual dislike and resentment. They regard him as the ally of ieir enemies, and the enemy of their princi ples. Why should a Union man any longer support iiitn? Is it to maintain his consistency? How can a man be consistent, when he acts in opposition to his principles? Ah! but some men prove their consistency, by their uniform sup port of Judge White! This is the very fault which we charge on them. Consistency in supporting Judge White they deem more im portant, lhan consistency' in maintaining tiie principles of the Union party. They are more attached to men than to principles. They arc cherishing that kind of spirit, and attempting to form that kind of party, which in every ag<J have furnished usurpers with instruments for destroying tiie liberty of their country'. Their consistency is misplaced. It should he evinced in endeavors to secure the success uf their prin ciples. We do not question the lionesiy of their intentions; but they are at best shallow politi cians, who prefer men to principles. They are prepared to be the pliant tools of any man who can win their confidence. Thev are the ma terials which a usurper would select to under mine the principles of the party' which had raised him, and to overthrow the liberties of his country. They are not devoid of integri ty or patriotism; but their attachment to their leader supersedes their attachment to their principles. Let those upright and patriotic old Clarke men, who still cling with fond partiality to Judge White, examine this subject with calm ness and candor; and they will find, that they preserve consistency, where it is a foible, and abandon it, where it is a virtue. lorn of the people was abridged; blit more rigid thought proper to take, and prevent anv further j orc i° r was established in the government; and difficulty on this subject, by sending these litdi-1 ,icr diciplined armies of freemen were led forth ans oil* at once.

St. Augustine, Florida, June 4. TOP-KO-LI-KY.—This is an Indian town, the residence of a well known chief of the name of Philip, and of liistrih.**. The distance from °L Augustine to it is over one hundred miles, in nearly a south direction, bearing a little west, but by the accessible route near one hundred and fifty miles. From the Spring Garden it is near eighty miles, and to Palaklikaha, which lies west, it is about the same distance. Philip formerly resided at the Wakahowta town, which lies about four miles west ot the St. Johns, where tlie Indians trail to Topkoliky crossed it, hut for some years lie lias resided at the latter place. Wc are told that at Topkoliky there is a large lake, in whicli are several islands, upon the largest of which Phillip has established his town, and that this island is surrounded by wa ter, so deep that it cannot be forded, except in °ae place, and that it cannot be approached from any point without a discovery. Here, it is said hilip is now residing with his women, children, o’d men and negroes, attending to the cultiva tion of their crops, whilst his wttrriors arc ma- rauding about the country. The lake shore is surrounded by small hammocks and Indian set tlements. " Philip’s band is here, it is desirable that it should be dislodged and punished. He has done more mjurv to the property of the inhabt- der. This heterogeneous parly was not mark- od by attachment to any set of political princi ples; hut it was devoted to Caesar, as its victori ous leader. ' Its own desires were fulfilled, in acquiring supreme power for the dictator. It was a proper tool for a usurper; and under its blows liberty perished. After his death, the satne party, actuated by no political principles, attached itself to Octavius, tiie nephew of Julius Caesar; and succeeded in erecting a lasting ties- potism over their country. Here was a party, on whose banner the motto might justly be in scribed, “Men, not Principles.” History is replete with instructive examples of tlie pernicious tendency of parties held to- get her by affection for particular leaders. We will briefly refer to one instance, selected from the age which has just passed by. When Buon- aparte commenced his career, he connected liimseif with the republican party of France.— Bui at heart lie was no republican. Ho soon began to form a party, consisting of men devot ed m his personal aggrandizement, and looking for their happiness, not in the prosperity of their country, but in tiie wealth and lionots which their successful leader might be able to shower THE DEPOSITES.—Congress has passed i law to regulate the deposites, of which tlie following are the principal features. The money of the United Slates is to be de- posited in banks chartered by the States, by the territories, and by the district of Columbia, at or near where the revenue is collected; at least one bank to bo employed in each State or terri tory, if there be one willing and qualified to be such depository; an amount shall not re main in deposite in any bank, exceeding three fourths of the amount of its capital paid in; no bank lo be selected, until it shall have informed the secretary of tlie treasury, of its condition, and furnished him with a copy of its charter: the banks to make regular returns to the secre tary, of their condition; to pay all checks, warrants, or drafts on the deposites, in specie, if required by tlie holder; to transfer tiie public funds to places where they are wanted, without charge on tlie government; to render to the government of the United States all the duties and services required by law ol the late United States’ Bank; no bank to be selected or con tinued, which does nol redeem its notes and bills on demand, in specie; or which shall issue bills of a less denomination than five dollars; the secretary to be authorized to require from the banks, collateral or additional security; no bank, after being selected, to be discontinued by tlie secretary, unless for failure to fulfil tlie condi tions specified; the secretary to make annual reports to congress, of the condition of the batiks employed; when tlie amount of tlie deposites in any bank, for the whole of a quarter of a year, shall exceed one fourtli of its capaitai paid in, such bank to pay interest at the rate of two per cent, per annum, on the excess over one fourth of its capital; no transfers to be made by the secretary, from one bank to another, (or the accommodation of such other banks; tlie money in the treasury', on the 1st of Jaunarv 1337, after reserving five millions of dollars, to be de posited with the Slates, in proportion lo thei? representation in the seriate and house of repre. sentatives; the States to give certificates of such deposite, setting forth the usual and legal obligations, and pledging the faith of the State for the safe keeping and repayment thereof; the said money, when wanted to meet appropriations made by 7 law, to be call' d for in rateable pro portions, in sums not toexceed ten thousand dol lars, from any one State, in any month, without previous notice of thirty days, for every addi tional sum of twenty thousand dollars; the said sums tube deposited with the States, in the follow ing manner, one fourth on the 1st of January 1837, one fourth on the 1st of April, one fourth on the 1st of July, and one fourth on the 1st of October of that vear. Letter lo the editor, from a distinguished of ficer in the army. Fort Mitchell, Alabama, July 2, 1330. Dear Sir—The war is at an end, without the army’s firing a gun. General Scott has just readied this place; after a thorough traverse of tiie Creek nation far the last ten days.— The Indians finding themselves most complete- lv surrounded by overwhelming numbers, have from day to day surrendered and been captured without giving us the first appearance of a fight. On yesterday', the noted Jim llenry and his band, were taken by a part of the army. Tlie Chiefs and murderers, who can be identified, of this unfortunate race, will be put to death, the { others will be forthwith sent to the West. A small party of tiie Hitchilees have attempted their escape to Florida, but we Irust have been overtaken by three horse companies, who loft Roanoke eight days since in hot pursuit. * Letter to tlie editor, from an intelligent friend, attached to the army’. Fort Mitchell, Alabama. June 20, 1830. Dear Col.—For several day's, having fruit lessly attempted to join tlie Georgia troops from this point, I have been occupied in gathering up HI the scraps of intelligence, rumors, gossip, &c. with which a garrison abounds: but i have only gleaned. General Jessup is here, anti has been here for several days. The Alabama troops, under his command, left this two days since to take post twenty.one miles west of this. Tlie fifteen hundred friendly' Indians, operating heretofore with those troops, have dispersed, and gone hone; several causes are assigned for this, one the refusal of general J. to cause them to be Fed, their own impatience at the inaction, or tar diness of the movements of the whites, and finally tlie fact that some of the Alabama troops wantonly murdered a few friendly Indians, with a full knowledge that they were so, and whilst actively employed in ferreting out the liostilcs. No censure should attach to the people of'Aia- bama for this violation of good faith, and cow ardly conduct; for I believe every intelligent man of them condemns tiie act, and is anxious for the punishment of the assassins. It strikes me the commanding general (general Jessup) should have made them suffer by the summary- process of a court martial: one thing is certain, the honor of Alabama requires the application of the lex talionis. About three hundred warriors are confined here as prisoners, many in irons, few are cap tives, and all I am informed have been brought in by the friendly Indians, whose invaluable aid in this sort of warfare has not been appreciated. I detest the principle of employing one portion of a people in tlie subjugation of the oilier.— It has been done nevertheless, and all the good so far achieved has been through their instru mentality. It is the impression of the officers here and more especially of geueral Jessup, that the campaign is nearly ended, that not more lhan a hundred or two of hostiles are vet in arms. J think, from the investigation which I have made into this matter, his conclusion is er roneous, perhaps widely erroneous. The war if ended, will arise from the fact solely, that the hostiles have now no leader ot a fierce, bold, and military genius, to plan, to execute, and to control them. It is a strange calculation that nearly all the liostilcs arc prisoners and disarm- ed. (I wish it were so-) Indian countrymen, and whites intimately acquainted wit. -\U the tribes and individuals thereof, say ihcie c live thou sand Creek warriors in all at tcu^r. two thou sand only are known to be friendly; three hundred of three thousand are alone accounted for; where are the remaining two thousand se ven hundred? Most likely many of this num ber are in their huts, neutral from fear, many, more indeed scattered in small parties over the whole of the Creek territory. A portion have escaped to Florida: so an express states, say two hundred in one body; some few are with tlie Cherokees. I cannot think that there are less than twelve to eighteen hundred yet in this country doing mischief in small parties; they will not and cannot concentrate and fight us.— I ‘liink the key to tlie enigma of all these di minutions of number, &c. is to wound tbe mili tary reputation of General Scott; he has a host of enemies, and mark it, in order to stab the deeper, all, all of good accomplished, will be set down as performed by general Jessup; all of bad, or misfortune, or accident ascribed to the unskilfulness, and tardiness of general Scott.— No impartial and honest man, who knows all that has been done by ihe latter, but will say, unless deterred from doing justice by the extent ol an unaccountable prejudice, that he has done every thing which a good general and patriot should have done, could have done with tiie em barrassments attending the arming of the Geor gia troops: It I know myself, I would not rob general Jessup’s brow of a leaf, to place upon general Scott: the latter does nol need it; history is al- readly full of Ins fame, and I have much mista ken the character of general Jessup, if he either desires such honor as some are ready to ascribe im, or efficient officer, captain Pago. What disposi tion to make of some five or six chiefs and lead ers of the hostiles, is tlie fruitful topic of debate. Hang them, say tiie whites; kill them, say tlie friendly Indians. Dut it will all end in the courts, where no evidence (technical I mean) can bo had, and tiie murderer escapes. Go- vernor Schley has just got over to this place, and will probably demand some of the scoun drels who burnt Roanoke, &c.

Aaron Kitoh- ell, and says lie is from the State of New Jersey, it appeared highly probable that he was carrying on a communication with our black population highly injurious lo Southern inn*, j rest and safety. It was deemed prudent to assemble the ci tizens of ibis place and vicinity, to adopt measures which might tend to put a stop to so dangerous an outrage. The citizens having assembh-d, Guthbert Reese Ksq. was called to lire Chair, and Dr. Robert A. T. Ridley requested to act as Secretary. On motion of William Phillips Esq. a committee consist ing of three were appointed, viz: Colonel F. M. White. John G. Morris and William Mpbley, to invite Dr. B. R. Thomas to lie 1 nevting, who, it was understood, was in po.-session of tads confirmatory of tiie statements made in the letters above alluded to. He was accordingly intro duced and fully confirmed the fads as set forth in the Id lers. UnJpr these eirenmetanres, the said Ivitchell was taken up, and his papers examined; amongst them were found va rious certificates, one .of which ii * aekno .vl alged was forg ed by 7 hirnsel', and from the great similarity of hand writing there "was hardly a doubl b :t that ha had made the most of them. Whereupon, on motion of Colonel F. M. While, n com mittee of twelve persons were appointed by the Chair to advise arid report what course should be pursued with the said A. \V. Kiteheli.

Tlie Committee, to whom was referret! the ease of the Rev. A. \Y Ivitchell, rej art, that, upon examination, thpy find sundry certificates :r - oilier papers of a suspicious cha racter, and have thought proper to retain the same in the hands of the becrelary until further information is obtained concerning them. The Committee would advise that the said Kiteheli should he rede around the village on a rail with a hand of all kinds of music playing the Hogue's March—that his head should then be tnrr . 1 and feathered, and again rode around the village as before—that he should al.-o leave the .State within ten days from tills time, under the penalty of Lynch's Law. Upon motion, it was resolved, That the proceedings of this meeting be published in the public gazettes of Milledge- ville, with a request that limy be republished in all papers opposed to the flendliko purposes of Northern Abolitionists.
