Mr. President, 1 have already trespassed too much on the lime of the Senate, but I entreat their indulgence a moment longer, that I mayro pel n charge which sounds harshly in my ear.— We havo been told by Hie prominent advocate for this, nill, that “its opponents, wiih golden chains, were binding Georgia to Carolina money and Carolina politics.” I really, sir, did not expert such a broad and sweepiug denunciation to he ut tered here, and in which I find myself not only included hut ernnioated. What, sir. the humble Senator from McIntosh to he charged, that bv opposing this bill, he was “binding Georgia to Carolina politics.” I thank my God. that all Geoigia. all parties, political opponents, ns well is uolilieal and personal friends, will hear testi mony Hut ili.s is an unfounded accusation; and T >ugb used, it will not strengthen the argument • favor of hauking privileges being coupled with Is, to endeavor lo roll inf of a character .»dirical consistency. Sir, though my sun he descending to the Western horizon, yet. .ii. me sod of the valley is laid on my breast, I .. i repel so foul a charge, and demand proof, i • g i I that tits records of this Senate will I.- to- >»ut in the refutation. It is well known -i i- I was the fir-t man in Georgia who raised ins voice in this Slats House against Nullification; win* firsi denounced n on this flo ir, ami expressly charged it oil an adjoining State, which is proved by the journal of the Senate for the year 1830. p ig- 110. Little known as I was to my fellow citizens at that period, a sense of duty to my country impelled me to assume the responsibility of taking u stand against that dangerous doctrine. And who. sir. at that oveutiiil period was found i ’tie front r i.’ik. fighting with ine. shoulder to b» Oder for the Union cause, in this chamber and in the other branch ? It was Schley, our pre sen! Governor, Echols, now in the Chair. Reuse and others now within the range of my eye.— We were then in the minority in the State; all Clark-meii—yes. Claik-meii. and from that mc- tnorable ora, the Clark party in Georgia, became, nearly one and all, the Union Party, and the re solutions I introduced, bearing my name which passed the Senate, were constricted ns embodying the iwiaciples of the Union Party.

Major General Scott has been called to Wash ingtou. and the commaud ofthis Army devolves from the publication of this Ordet, on Major General Jesup, to whom, iu future, all reports and applications will be made. The Creek war, though yet to be wound up may be cousidercd as virtually over. Two par ties’of the hostile Indians, which have escaped to this side of the Chattahoochee, are uow hotly pursued. The larger of those parties is shut up iu a swantp, aud from the streugth of Col. Beall s detachment, that uuder Captaiu Jeruigan, aud the re-iuforceiueiit sent hence, under Maj. iloxie, a capture of the whole body of the fugitives see- tps to be inevitable. The other hostile party will, probably, from the tnoasures in operation, share tile same fate. Iu the late Creek couutry the number of the enemy to bo captured or forced to surrender, is considered quite iu considerable.

They are very chival rous. and are considered the perpetual eustny of tho Mexican-Spaniard whom they treat with the utmost contempt. They have 30.000 warriors liviug in valleys, surrounded ‘-y inaccessible moun tains, with narrow passes. They long bid defi anre to the combined power hf Mexico, making frequent excursions, capturing many Mexicans, with their horses. Prisoners iliey make slaves of, and in return the Mexicans make slaves of them whenever taken captive. They arc very ingenious n-d careful servants, are very uncouth, the structure'- f their heads gives them a very homely appearance; they are but little, if]soy, lighter in complexiou than other Indians. 1 heir mmuitstiii fastuoisef were never penetrated by Inutile foot until a few year* past.

It is eminent ly deserved. Ofthe Georgia line, which has con- stantlv acted uuder the immediate observation of Maj. Gen. Scott, he will ever be happy to speak in terms of i he highest approbation.. That line, has, under its immediate and able commander, Maj. Gen. Sanford, brcughoui evinced the best dispositions—a readiuess to obey orders, to march against the enemy, aud to win honor for itself, for Georgia, and the Union.—The greater part of it. for a long time, was held iuactivef for the want of arms, which by a series of strauge acci dents, failed to arrive, whilst other portions of the same line, in positions on the river, had fre quent and severe combats with the enctii^* In these, if the Georgian detachment* were not al ways successful they at least were ready to op pose an obstinate resistance to superior numbers. Captains Garmauy. Jeruigan, Ball, and Fluelleu, with their companies, won for themselves much distinction, on those occasions, whilst Captains Dawson and Pearson, cruising with their com panies on board steamboats, reudered highly valuable services. Capt. Dawsou on several occasions, displayed the greatest judgmeut and intrepidity in marching to the reliel of the fixed posts, and landing in the presence of the enemy, in order to destroy his means of passing the river. Of the Alabama line, with the exception of Brigadier General Moore’s Brigade, Maj. Gen. Scott cannot speak either from his owu obser vatton or on a direct correspoudeuce. Major Gen. Jesup. himself an able commander and a competent judge, iu his reports, speaks highly of Maj. Gen. Patterson and his division, and it is directly known that Brigadier General Moore, placed on the theatre of operations, has, ac ting almost independently, made able dispositions of his Brigade and has captured more than two huudred prisoners. .... , „ _ To the Regular Troops, including the U. S Marines, the usual praise is due: they have ex hibrted steadiness, discipline and an eager dosire to come in contact with the enemy. Although disappointed in that favorite wish, they have, iu other respects, rendered themselves highly useful. It is known that the friendly Indians actiug as auxiliaries uuder Gen. Woodward^ and otb<w» have rendered valuable services.. To them a great number of the captures aud voluntary sur. renders are to he attributed. With histemnorary staff—Col.

The best wishes of the frontier inhabi tants of the State, will accompany them, for the alacrity with which thay repaired to the scene ol danger, and the soldier like spirit which mev manifested to avenge the blood of their murdered countrymen. If they have won hut few laurels, they have showu hearts brave, and arms siroug enough, to have torn tnauy a green branch trom tho g ! orious tree- They deserve we N t h° ,r country, and it is unnecessary for us to hope that they v ill he honorably and joyfully received by their immediate neighbors aud fellow-eitizens. The celebrated Jim Henry, who has acquired au infamous celebrity in the late outrages against the persons and property of the citizens of tins State and Alabama, was ott Monday last, lodged in the jail of Russell county. CoL Elliott, the Sheriff of that coiintv, escorted by ( apt. Carmo- tiv and six of his command, accompanied this same savage renegadt, from beyond l uskegee, where he was surrendered up by Geu. Jesup, to bis present place of abode. Henry was on 1 ues- dav, regularlv committed, upon charges prefer red against him for capital crimes agaiust the laws of Alabama. Col- E. informs us that he met beyond Tuskegee, five hundred, aud ou this side of them, six hundred Indians, iu charge of the Alabama forces, on their way tojutn the com pany of emigrants at Montgomery, which left Foil Mitchell sometime since. There are now, altogether, some twenty-five hunured or more, that have been started to Arkansas. We are informed that a small party of the Ala bama farces had an engagement a few day since on the Cowaggee creek, with a considerable body of Indians. Wo have not heard the particulars.

After their many suffering*and pri vations, there is stdl reason to congratulate them ou this event, as we most cordial(y do. Many we are told will make half a crop, or more, auo it is hoped that iu the aggregate the planters in that quarter-may make enough, or nearly so, to last them uutil the succeeding crop is gathered. There are a few straggling hostiles. it is supposed, still in the nation, hot that country is now so well filled with troops, marching and countermarching iu all directions, together with a large body o frieuoly Indians, that we are of opinion there is little or no danger to be apprehended * 101 ” few hostiles w ho yet remain out. They will pass themselves off for friendly Iudians, aud remain peaceable, wherever they have an opportunity The United States’ mail came through the na tion by the direct route, and arrived here without the least molestation. A stage also came thro aud arrived here on Saturday, bringing tieo la dies and a uumber of gentleineu. 1 his stage snot three corps of United States’ and Alabama directed General Jesup to post bodies of United States’ troops c.n the mail route as ac escort for the mail through the nation, which we consider will reuder the mail entirely secure. The infantry reginieuts of Georgia troops, uu der the comuiaud of Major General Sanford, have returned to Ooliunbus ; and two of them, the one under the command of Colonel William son, and the ether under the command of Colo nel Porter, have been discharged. The regiment tinder the command of Colonel Hardeman is still in this vicinity, and it is expected will be disehar ged in a few days. Captain Love, withhiscom pany is at Fort Twiggs, Major Alford at Roan oke. and Colonel Beall ou the Chickasahatchee swamp in Baker county. Major Iloxie is also somewhere below. The Columbus volunteers, under the command of Majoi Hoxie, went down to reinforce Colonel Beall. These, we believe, are all the Georgia troops udw iu service, if we include a few militia companies from Early, Stewart, Decatur aud Thomas couuttes, also un der the command of Col. Beall. The party of Iuaians, of which Colonel Beal! went in pursuit, is believed still to be in the went in pursuit, ts nettevea suit to ne m me Chicknsabalcbee swamp, aud Col.

'The swamp is Iroin 4 to 8 miles wide aud 15 miles long, and now and then a dry spot of earth, and infested with Al ligators, Bears, Wolves, &c. not a human being, save the savage, has ever explored it. It is im possible to say how many IndtaRs there are. Tom Carr's estimate is generally beltevecj to be correct He was iu the battle aud lought gallaut ly—he ntimbers them at 300. there were, at any rate. 36 cloth tents, Beall had 275. Ihe lndt- ans will now, withoot doubt, use every effort to escape, for their situation is, a . I have belore sta ted, desperate. Il is feated by some, that they have already gone, if they have not. their tune has well nigh drawn to a close, for the boy* are inul and determined to havo them. Bend has uow 300 men under his command, our battalion will -augment that number to 500. It is believed bat yet a greater nit inner of men will he ueces- i v to force tho Indians from the swamp, or to keep them in it.” . It is the opiuion of Col. B. that the Indians have dispersed, aud that lie will be unable to draw or drive them to another battle. It t* rather to be hoped that his fearless baud lett but few of them a live, and hence, hut few can DOW be found. The’ citizens of the counties below, would do well to keep a sharp look out. for recent circum stances have shown that there are small gangs ol savages yet prowling about in the large swamps m Randolph and Baker. This caution is howev er unnecessary. for wo discover that oUr fellow- citizens down the river are wide awake, and arp keeping the euetny ewake too. Messrs.
