| A SKETCH XW THE LIFE OF GEN.
wm. McIntosh, tiie Indian
CHIEFTAIN.
From the Macon ( Ga.) Messenger,18th inst.
In recording the death of this truly
distinguished Indian Warrior, we have
ventured to place before our readers
brief sketch of his life and character.
His ancestors, on the paternal side, arc of
Scotland, many, of whom emigrated to
this state in its earliest settlements; some
oftheni rendered important services to
our country during the war of the .Revo*
lution. Mr.——McIntosh, the father of
of our present subject, for rensftns un
known to us, was induced to seek a habi
tation among the Creek Indians. A mat
rimonial connexion(if the expression be
■allowed) was formed by®him with an In
dian woman of Cherokee descent, on the
mother’s side, of whom was' born the dis
tinguished chieftain, whose tragic death
we linve before noticed. She was Said
to have been a woman of remarkable
beauty, native sagacity, and always the
hospitable friend of the white man. To
rear and fit her son for to life of useful
ness to her people, was a source of the
most anxious maternal solicitude. Whilst
the lessons taught him by his father ena
bled him to comprehend almost with the
ken of prophecy, the fbture destinies of
the Creek Indians, he was sedulously ur-
*ed by his mother, to engage in those in-
pocent sports and amusements peculiar
to the Aborigines of our country, which
were calculated to-fit them for the chose
and prepare them for the bottle field, the
only theatre of glory ampng the Indians.
Whether young McIntosh was ever
sent among the white people for improve
ment and advancement in civilization, is
unknown to us; certain it is, however,
i his attainments were so superficial, as on-
} ly to enable biin, With a pen, to make such
' characters, whereby his name could he
known. The importing services he has
rendered the Government of the United
States and his own countrymen have been
fhe dictates of his own almost intuitive sa-
jpicity, unaided by the benefits of a Chris
tian education.
The benevolent efforts of the govern
ment, in harmonizing the Indians, had so
fur been effectual, as to prevent all inter
nal wnr among the Creek Indians, and
the harder settlements had been compar
atively free from Indian invasion, siuce
the close of the wnr for our national Inde
pendence. The abilities of young McIn
tosh, ns a warrior, were consequently un
known, until awakened into action by
those commotions among the Creek In
dians Which proceeded and attended their
Invasion in 1813.
Unmoved by the machinations and pro
phecies of -his deluded countrymen, un-
‘awed by their threats of indiscriminate
destruction of all who resisted their sav
age designs, above the temptation of bri
bery offered him by a nation, with whom
We wgre at war, wisely comprehending
the isolated situation of his country, he
turned, as the only hope of refuge and ot
safety, to the Government of the .United
States, became the champion of tire Ame
rican cause, in the contest with Great
Britain and her savage allies, ardently
co-operating with our armies, {hey were
enabled to meet their insidious enemies
in successful conflict in their native war
fare,'and speedily to terminate a War,
which threatened with entire desolation
the frontier settlements. For these im
portant services, be received the pay and
emoluments of a Major of Infant^, and
the warriors who served under him were
recognised and paid as soldiers of the
United States Army. At the close of the
■war he was elevated by his own nation to
the rank of principal war Chief.
Desirous that the people over whom he
had been chosen to rule, should profit by
oar Government, be gave his consent and
approbation to the treaty of Fort Jack-
son, and admitted all his deluded Coun
trymen who sought it the foil enjoyment
of citizenship, notwithstanding they lmd
became unhoused by the war, outcasts
torn! outlaws by their hostility-
The> reputation Major McIntosh hod
acquired, as well for humanity,, as for
deedsrtos a warrior, readily gained him a
seat in the council for the civil govern
ment of the Creek Indians. In this new
capacity he sedulously engaged in the
amelioration of the condition of his coun
trymen. Dependents of the Government
of the United States, cut off from all
prospects of national aggrandizement,
•their only hope of future distinction and
quietude consisted in adopting, as speedi
ly as practicable, the habits and customs
of tbe white people, whereby they might,
on any future call, be enabled to render
them an efficient service.—To effect this
important desideratum, mechanics of eve
ry kind were invited to settle among them;
many of their children and young men
« ere sent among us to be educated, and
arrangements made for tbe establishment
of schools within their owp territory.—
Tranquility being restored, every thing
sor med fair for the new order of educa-
- to he wafted on tbe tide of successful ex
periment, when all their hopes and expec
tations were overthrown by the ^hideous
yell <;f wnr. A remnant of the nation
who had sought refuge and protection un
der the Spanish GovernmentinFlorida, im
pelled by an insatiate desire of revenge,
threatened with indiscriminate destruc
tion the friendly Indians and frontier set
tlements. To arrest their atrocious de-
figns, persuasion was ineffectual. They
wore admonished how impotent would
be their atiempts, how ruinous the conse
quences, but in vain. Their native feroci
ty jmsguidted by sordid emissaries excited
them to (lie Completion of their designs.
To avert the consummation of an incur
sion so replete with terror to Hie border
settlements and destructive to themselves,
the friendly Indians were required again
to act in concert with the United States
Troops, and transfer the wur into the tor-
- jaiory ofthe enemy. McIntosh forthwith
assembled his warriors was promoted to
the rank of Brigadier General by our gov
ernment, joined the command of Gens.
.Tjrtcksrtn and Gnines, under whope imme
diate inspection he served until the unfor
tunate tond misguided Seminoles were
'completely subjugated. The importance
of the services rendered by Gen. McIn
tosh and his warriors in this enmpnign,
can readily he conceived by all who ore
acquainted with tndian warfare.
The same Ini inanity and benevolence
which had distinguished the conduct of
Gen. M’lntosh nt the close of ihe Creek
war in 1814, were again manifested. As
many of the subjugated Indians ns desi
red it, were permitted to remove and set
tle in the upper part of the Creek territo
ry, and allowed to enjoy till their former
privileges.
The Seminole war having been brought
to a successful close, and tranquility again
restored to his countrymen, Gen. McIn
tosh again engaged in this fraternisation
of the Indinns, solicitious to soften their
destiny, to save the needless effusion of
blood nmong themselves, and also to in
sure peace and amity with the neighbor
ing white men.
The extensive territory over which the
Creek Indians have bounded and frolick
ed in spurtive heedless ness, when anima
ted by their associate huntsman, eager in
the pursuit of game, or in careless gaiety
pursued their daily sports mid amuse
ments, had been wrested from them by
the relentness hand of victory, the means
of sustenance (the reward of tlie chase)
which had heretofore been ahundnnt, had
now become precarious and uncertain ;
the joyous congratulations that lmd once
gladdened the return of the wearied hunts
man, were now received with mortified
disappointment, their sportive children
who had never before known the name of
w’nnt, seemed now doomed to inevitable
death by the slow and lingering hand of
famine.
As an antidote to their pregnant and re
morseful feelings, arising from reflections
by their harrassed country, menaced with
almost an entire extermination to their
unfortunate countrymen, they sought ob-
livinu in the intoxicating use of spiritu
ous liquors, alike averse to good order
und i nprovement, in savage as well as
civilized society.
It is a fact perhaps not insulated nmong
the Indians, 'that marriages take place,
and families raised in proportion to the
facilities of affording them sustenance.
The source of support, (the chase) which
had heretofore been deemed among the
Iml ins infallible, could no longer with
safety be relied on; the time consumed in
intoxicating potations prevented them
from attending to this uncertain depen
dence. When aroused from their torpor,
it was only again to seek relief from their
distresses by the same demoralizing anti
dote. Those who had families looked on
the visitation of death among them as
blessing.—The young men would not
marry believing each increase of num
hers but increase of the distresses cf the
country and that children would but be
born to feel the pangs of death by the
slow and lingering hand of hunger.
To awaken his countrymen to a sense
of their approaching extermination, to in
duce'them to abandon a life of such ini
morality and indolence and constrain
them to a life of agricultural industry, the
nonly hope of preservation, be determined
on another cession of territory, which
would forever cut off aH possible hope of
support, without a change of habit. With
this view, a treaty was held with the chief
men and warriors, through the agency of
McIntosh, at the Indian Springs, in 1820
when the land lying between the Ocmul-
gee and Flint Rivers, was ceded to the
(Senerai Government for the use of the
state of Georgia.
Thus limited in their territory the hope
was fondly indulged tli&i the assiduous ex
ertions of a benevolent Agent, assisted by
schools already established among them,
(many of their young men having attain
ed respectability by their literary ac
quirements) and their own wants could
aot fail to excite some latent feeling of
self-preservation, and invite them to a life
of husbandry, which worth! lead to their
future civilization and advancement in
society. These fond and flattering hopes
were, like all others, doomed to. a pain
ful disappointment.—Notwithstanding the
price for the ceded territory was paid, in
annunal instalments which would enable
them to obtain from year tt> year, the ne
cessaries of life, until they could bb more
systematically and regularly supplied by
their own industry, it was entirely fruit
less.—A few sordid frontier men eagerly
watching the time of each payment, were
always ready to gratify the Indians, ine
briating propensities, and then with a few
worthless trinkets and gewgaws, swindle
them out of the money intended for more
valuable purposes, and the poor wretches
were left to lament their too great credu
lity in unpitied distress.
The General Government, viewing
with regret the profitless efforts that
had beenjnqde to better the condition
of the' unfortunate Aborigines of our
country, humanely determined to offer
them a territory on the west of the Mis
sissippi River, beyond the confines of the
white population, equal in extent to the
one now occupied by them, to be settled
by themselves, the title to which should
be fixed and unalienable. The accept
ance of this offer will place the Indians
beyond the demoralizing indulgences
which now degrade them. The assurance
of future protection and support in their
rights and privileges, would be an induce
ment to improve their condition; and lead
eventually, (at least we way indulge tbe
hope) to a complete civilization of these
long estranged people* This offeT is hu
mane and benevolent, and in the accept
ance^ can do no iujuy to the Indians;
but may he a means whereby they may
realize'the fondest wishes, as Christians,
which we are bouud to extend to them. It
therefore cannot bo a matter of surprize,
that Gon. McIntosh, sympathising with
Idb harrassed and distressed countrymen,
should have with cheerfulness accorded
with the government, in so pi nisewortliy
an object. Meetings of Indipns were
held in every town to meditate on the
proposed removal. Every feeling Which
ingenuity could awaken, was arrayed to
dissuade the Indians from exchange of
territory.—Passions the most violent and
ungovernable were aroused—they were
reminded of their duty to the remains
of their ancestors—every feeling of nation
al obligation was called into notion—the
disgrace of abandoning their homes, the
depository of every thing Valuable and
dear, was planned before them in its must
forbidding attitude. Notwithstanding Gen.
McIntosh was opposed by this array of
feeling, the most irresistablc and unreas
onable, he did not despair; with a patience
and perseverance which would have n-
d-irneu the most enlightened, he urged on
his countrymen the advantages of a re,?
moval to them both as individuals, and es
a nation.
The fixed and unalienable title to their
landed property, the free exercise of the
Government of their choice, the uncon
trolled management of their own national
affairs, the cnjoyinent of privileges,
which hud' long ceased., to exist in their
circumscribed und limited situation, were
held out ns inducements of the most satis
factory importance* Many of tire most
enlightened of his countrymen heartily
co-operated with him to the advantages of
the removal, while none seemed exclusive
ly opposed to it. Governed by the belief
that the exchange agreed on by the Gen
eral Government aud a treaty of cession
concluded all opposition as heretofore
Would cease and the removal be probably
effected, a removnl Which could not fail
to eventuate in the welfare of the nation;
with this feeling lie met the Commissioners
of the United States and concluded the
treaty of cession and exchnmrc.
From the opposition of a fixed and de
termined character which manifested it
self after the conclusion of the treaty
Gen. McIntosh deemed it unwise to re
turn immediately home; lie consequently
remained on the trenty ground and in the
vicinity until all opposition seemed to be
forgotten and he wng invited to return to
the government of his people. Believing
this invention as n suritv of the tranquil
acq iescence in the treaty, he forthwith
commenced the preparations for explor
ng the country they were shortly to inhab
it, in Unalienable and uncontrolled occu
pancy.;—Unhappy Hhd fatal delusion! the
quietude into which tlie Indians seemed
for a while to have fallen, was but a finesse
to secure their victim and render the ex
ecution of their murderous design certain
beyoud the possibility of a failure. On
the Kjorning of the day appointed for
the commencement of his journey
the westward, bis 'dwelling was sur-
rounded by to large number of warriors,
who summoned him before them. Not
waiting for an answer, or allowing" time
for compliance, they" entered his house,
permitting his family to escape, and shot
him lifeless to the floor. His body was
pierced by upwards of fifty balls.—Thus
has fallen this distinguished Indian, re
nowned alike for his abilities as a warrior,
and intuitive sagacity an a civilian. Un
happy wretched people ! you have mur-
dered your greatest benefactor and friend
and though your future destiny be beyond
the ken of human prophecy, long, very
long we fear it will be “ ere you look upon
his like again.”
• General McIntosh was about the ordi-
nary height of his countrymen. His coun
tcnance was grave, dignified, stern and
inflexible, yet often relieved by a smile of
pleasantry. Robust and patient of fa
tigue himself, he always led his warriors
to battle and shared with them equally the
toils of the conflict. He was never known
to refuse quarters to a suppliant foe or
indulge in the horrid aiid snvnge Indian
custom of scalping a fallen enetny.
Steam-Boat Accidents— We learn tbnt
on Thursday morning about 2 o’clock,
three miles this side of Ponghkeepsie, the
Jumes Kent and Fanny ran foul of each
other. The former had her figure head
cui-water, and bowsprit shrouds carried
away. The bowsprit of the Kent struck
the Fanny abuft the Waterwheel, and
carried away her upper deck, guard, and
swept the captain’s office and state room
captain and all over-hoard. By some
unaccountable means, however, the capK
saved himself from drowning, and no per
sonal injury was sustained by any of the
passengers* Tlie alarm, however, was
great, and both ladies and gentlemen we re
running wildly about in conflision, without
paying much attention to their respectiv
toilets which would be neccessary for i
drawing room. Both boats proceeded on
their way, witbitt an hour.

THE QOTTON CROPS ■
The Alabama and Tombeckbe rivers
by the last accounts are very high. The
Tombeckbe has overflowed its banks, and
many plantations of cotton are under wa
ter. In the upper part of the state the
early plantings of cotton, we understand,
have been very seriously injured by cold
Weatlfer, and in the middle counties they
have suffered considerable injury. A second
p’anting has very generally beeh found
necessary, and it is (eared there will be
deficiency of seed, which has risen' in
many sections of the state to one and two
dollars a bushel. -The prospect of the
crops are at present very unpromising.

numerous plans sent to the association by
different artists, there are about .sixteen
elevations of colUms, an obelisk but no
pyramids. The objection to acolum with
a figure upon it, is that at the elevation of
220 feet, the design of the artist cannot
be ascertained, since either the feature
nor the form of a statue at that height
can be distinguished. An obelisk er a
pyramid it ts thought will finally be agreed
upon-.
NEW-ORLEANS : April 30.
We do remember the time when the in
habitants of Louisiana were eager to com
memorate this day by repeated salutes
from the artillery, military parades, ring
ing of bells, etc* etc. And why notice
particularly the 30tli of April, may, ho
doubt, be asked by many of otor readers ?
for such are the mutations in our popula
tion that wo even forget the anniversary
of that day which first freed a portion-of
Spanish America, and gave Louisiana u
republican form of government. Yes,
two and twenty years ago on this day,
was lopped off tho first branch ofthat huge
tree of despotism, which' the undaunted
valor of Cortez, and Piznrro, and other
soldiers of Ferdinand, and Charles, and
Philip had erected over the finest ,regions
of the new world. The cession was
peaceably obtained on our pnrt, but no
thing except the fears of Spain could have
ever induced her to consent to it. Little
did the Court of Madrid think-, on signing
the treuty, that in less than a quarter of n
century Old Spain; Would cease to hold a
foot of ground on our continent.
To Louisianians the convention of this
day, Was most fortunate—by it they have
been saved form all the horrors and war
which desolated the foireat regions of the
South during many u -long year—by it,
they entered utonce into the enjoyment of
nil the liberty which man should aspire
to in civil society—by it they have be
come most important members Of one of
the first nations in the world, artd Whose
fulure prospects are yet more brilliant.
Nor, is the possession of Louisiana of
small importance to the remotost sections
of the Union. As of old, Jason pierced
the Helespptit fortlie goldenfleccc,^ Solo
tnon sent his ships to Opjtir for Wealth—
in like manner, nt the present day, do our
fellow-citizens from North and South,
East and West, flock Id New-Orleans to
make their fortunes—Louisiana isof more
importance to her sister states than the
most valuable colony cotold prove—Our
rich products land a thousand ships—our
carrying trade employs many thouand
seamen. The Northern manufacturer
and artisan firtds here the best reward for
his industry—the Westerh farmer here
alone procures his rendy money.
Great indeed as are the results of this
day’s treaty, yet far greater would be the
tnsk to calculate all the remote con
sequences still in the womb of time*
WASHINGTON, May 17.

THE AMERICAN BIBLE

Tho Ninth Anniversary of the Insti
tution, was celebrated yesterday morning
at the Assembly Room City Hotel. We
made a vain attempt to get into the Hall
—it Was crowded to suffocation; and of
the crowd, one half were ladies. During
a session of four hours, we learn that un
divided attention and interest were mani
fested by those present, rind that the ad
dresses delivered abounded With elo
quence and zeal. Governor Clinton, as
one of the Vice Presidents, presided, and
was supftorted by Mr. Justice Thompson,
Mr. Kent, Col. Troup,and the Judges of
the Supreme Court, now in session
this city. A very forcible address from
the President of the Society, the venera
ble John Jay, was read, and will doubt
less with the report and other prceedings
be published. Several of the speakers
took occasion to testify in glowing
language the respect and their regrets
for the late Generto 1 Clarkson, who has
heretofore officiated ns presiding officer af
this institution—N. Y. American

by the inroads of tbe sea appears almost
equally destructive.
