GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
F.xtrtit^fif ahttir from MiUtiigetHh ,tfatc.iM,ry'2Mh.
" A committee has been appointed by the Ni n
th- consisting of Messrs. Stocks, Davies, Craw-
jbrd, Burney, Shnvr, Prince and Grows. to join
' the committee (rnn the House of Representatives,
composed of .Messrs. Murray, Adams, Meriwether.
Fee'her*tone, Ilardin, Kolb end f.nmpkin, to
whom was referred that pert of the Governor’s
Message relative to the disposal of the l.vely ac
quired territory. The committee,it is expected,
will make their report In two or *hree days. The
I.oltery system will'! believe be recommended—
-"und there is no doubt a bill authorising a Lottery-
will puss both branches by a large majority. You
might »s w ell attempt to move the sun from Ids
centre ns to resist a passage of such a laxv, though
it may not in the end be so obnoxious to the
Vnti-Lottery men as the last Lottery bills were—
there being a disposition evinced on the purt of the
Legislature to make large reservations,—say, eve.
rv tenth lot and the fractions. A notice has been
laid on the table of the H. of R, for the np|*oint-
m'e.ut of a committee, to report on the expedien
cy of removing the Mother Bunk of Darien to
Millcdguville- There is a strong feeling here a-
gnin.st the Bank ; and I should not be surprised if
the committee recommend its removal. The late
outrages committed by the Creek Indians, will
not Ip- touched before the Governor hears from
the President of the United States, on this subject
—advices are daily expected. Developements it
is said will be made that will implicate two or
three white individuals, in the murder of Mctn»
tosh. The Senate formed itself into a court yes
terday, for the purpose of trying the Commission
ers for the 3ales of Fractions, who were impeach
ed ut the lust session. The Commissioners are all
hero, and are very anxious to have their trial dis
posed of at this time. The Legislature will prob
ably adjourn on the 11th of June.

The National Journal denies that President
Adams had any Agency in the execution of the In
dian Treaty which Is said to have led to the mar-

ceived by Mr. Monroe on thelld of March ,al tho
not acted on by the Senate until the 4th. The.
‘Journal acquits Mr. Monroe of any intention to
oppress die Indians. We believe that be ha* gen

too much their friend. At least his messages fo
Congress in relation to them, and the angry let

seem to Imply any thing rather than a disposition
upon his part to entrap or inveigle them. Where
then does the allcdged deception, if any, lie ?

To the Chiefs and Headmen
ofthefricdly Creeks.
At a general meeting of thelndiaiis
friendly to Gen. McIntosh, nnd who feel
themselves aggrieved by the injuries done
by the Indians inimical to the late treaty
held at the Indian Springs, the following
address was nuanimously agreed to, and
for the same to be published in the Geor
gia Messenger and one of the Milledge-
papers.
Pike county, Flint river 17th May, 1826,
We have discovered in the Georgia Mes-
wisro not pt Hseift, and particularly ntn
place.where the imtiotm! Council should
not have convened. When this meeting
was ordered, thereisnodmibt in our minds
tlm* it was not intended fur Gen,McIntosh
or uny of us to have known it, mid it
was ordered in consequence of the Choi*
nkuos sending the. Brig Warrior nnd his
friends word, that they must be mindful
of Gen. McIntosh, or he would sell all
their hinds from them. The Little Prince
who stoot^as fair ns any other chief in the
nation could not have had any knowledge
of this Inw, or at least he had no idea
that such a law would he enforced ; for
the appointment which he then nnd now
holds, requires more honor and truth than
to have written the following letter to one
of ottr Chiefs nnd otto who signed the
treaty, Col. Chilly McIntosh, in conse
quence of the severe threats which had
been made against all whe signed the
treaty at tho Mineral Spring.
March the 4th, 1825.
My Friend—I nm very sorry to hear so
much fuss amongst my people; I Wish t-
have pence nmongsthnth my white aud red

certainly have heard it; there is 6ome that

tnlk I would let you know <t. I wish you.
aud all of you to come o -e and live ns

signed by onr Agent, Capt. Crowell,
that the party of Indians friendly to Gen
McIntosh had threatened his life, nnd al
so the life of the Little Prince, who is our
principal chief at this time s we ncknowl
edge « urselves Gen. Mclntoshes friends
and party, and if any threats of this kind
has been made, it has not come within our
knowledge—therefore we believe it to be a
lie; we also see in the same paper, iufor
mntiun derived from the Agency, that the
killing of McIntosh, Tonic Ttistcmmggec
und the two Huwkins’s was not intended
as hostilities against the Whites, that it
was only a fulfilment of their own laws
nnd n law which Gen. McIntosh himself
hud signed, and declured in the Rquarent
Broken Arrow during the late treaty at
that place, (this law Was) that if any In
diun Chief should sign a treaty of unv
lunds to the whites, that he should certain
ly suffer death : this statement is positive
ly false—nud it is ably mode use of as u
protext for the cruel murders which huv
been committed.
For the correctness of ottr denial
tlmt statement, we will appeal to the li
nked States Commissioners, Col/ Onmp-
.bell aud Capt. Meriwether, and many
other of our white friends who were pre
sent duringtlietrenty—and we further up
peal to our Agent, who we believe, will jo
us tlmt justice, as to give the lie to any
such reports: it certainly would hnVe
been very inconsistent for Gen. Mein
tosh or uny of us to have signed the trea
ty at the Mineral Springs, hnd such a Inw
us that come within our knowledge. And
it is very droll too, that such a Inw ns that
should exist, and that the National Clerk
and none of us should have knowledge of
it ; we have been in the habit of meeting
ail councils thnt concern the nation, ns
lunch so as any other Chiefs of the nntinn
and if snclt a law had been -made, we
should have known it. Wc. understand
that there was a decree of that kind pas
sed by the Brig Warrior and his friends
Late accounts from India, recti veil in England

iit a place called the Pole-Cat Springs
which is about fifty miles .west of Broken
Arrow. Broken Arrow is the capital of
the nation, c hore all business of a public
nature is transacted—-therefore as that
meeting was one which Was not ordered
at the capital nrid not a general one, it
could only sobject those who were present
It is right for us to state that our friend
Tome Tustennoggee was present and
signed the decree—but we have often
heard him say that he did not know the
contents when lie made his mark, or he
should not have done so.—And as for
Gen. McIntosh ever signing or sanction
tug any such a law, we declare it to
false ; for when he was told of it, he rc
monstrated severely against it, and he de
clared that they were unauthorized to pass
any suck a law, and that such a thing
coujd not be n law; for it was imposihle
for Taekeha'ehee und otic or twp other
towns to meet and pass a law for the dcs
other Chiefs who
e,d it, ntul tie would now acknowledge it, 1
for it was perfectly right. If wo are to
he governed by this talk wo tiro iit.a dread
ful situation, without Imnles or friends or
even without means of subsistence, driven
from our farms nnd robbed rtl our proper
ty, and also the monies arising from mtr
lands taken and given to our enemies.
We huve too much confidence in our Fa
ther the Prefeidcnt, to believe any such
talks. He hris never deceived us yet ; we
have his promise in nnd through tlm S.
Commissioners, and shall hold it sacred
until we find out to the contrary; our little
'uthor the Governor ofGeorgin. has giv-
n us a tnlk, which wc shall strictly obey
until he mity talk again. \VU cunnot help
mentioning that we are fed by several
white friends, who we hope will bo remu
nerated nt the Mineral Springs, when
monies shall be received for our land. No-
hing hut justice is demanded, nud noth
ng else will he expected, and we hope
that oilt Great-Father who is above us all,
will cause us to obtain it; we are now stn-
ioned at Newnan in IPtke county, and
hall remain Until our rulers shall order
dtherwiset
Wo hope this o'ir Communication will

satisfaction of the world.

wc wore awakened from our sleep with
the cries of mttrder—McIntosh if-killed,
end how many more we don’t know; get
up nnd clear yourselves, for death is your
portion, the woods are full of Indians, ull
will he killed Who signed the treaty!
This was very unexpected news to us;
and we had ft risrht not to expect it. Par
ticulftrly from talks hadut Broken Arrow
to tlw Governor’s Aid, liv Little Prince
und the Big Warrior Chie.fs, declaring
that we were in no danger, and all state
ments to the contrary were lies; that they
wanted penco and nothing else wns inten-
ded-*-of course wc expected nothing else,
Imt we had to fly for refuge to our white
neighbors where wc have been kindly re
ceived, and treated as onr situation re
quires. Every pledge has been forfeited
by our father and the Little Prince nnd
his friends, therefore it is impossible for
us to have any confidence in what lie
of
be
any of his friends may hereafter talk.
Wc have lately received a tuik from tho
Deputy Agent, Capt. Triplett. We are
sorry that his talk is so one-sided—decla
res in the first plnce that <ve must po
homo nnd tend our farms; that we shall
not he hurt. This talk wns made in the
presence of white men, to Ben. Marshall
who is one of our Chiefs ; murdering
should cease; that McIntosh, Tome Tus
tennuggee and the two Hawkins’s Was
killed in compliance with the laws of the
Nation. If there wns a low for them to
be murdered, that law yet exists; and ad
mining wc should take this talk nnd go
home, we should receive the same fate
for we arc guilty of the snrne breach, and
shook! of course receive the same
punishment. He further declnres, that
the Indians were cheated oat of their lands:
that wc were ull fooled by the IJ. S. Com
missioners, for they had no lands west of
the Mississippi, without they would here
after buy it from the Indians who now
reside ihere; that they, meaning ihe U. S
Commissioners, had got our lands, and
they dkl not care what became of ns, and
we would not get any assistance from the
whites. Our Chief, Benj. Marshall 1 ; ask
ed the Captain, if this murder w-as a ful
filrncnt of the laws of the Nation, why did
the council ut Brokeft Arrow, dcclnre
the Governor’s aid Col. Lamar, that there
was no hostilities intended; ami that they
would protect McIntosh, for they had
fought liy his side, and liked him. His
reply wns, that the Governor’s aid had
made that talk himself, and had went,
home with a lie in his mouth to the Gov
ernor. .We must bojieve from the talk
we received ourselves that the Governor
aid has spoke nothing hut the truth. Af
ter the Captain found that We were not
satisfied, lie observed to a white man that
the tree was topped, and if we were not
satisfied with it, the limbs wonld he taken
off. It is impossible for us to he satisfied
when the Captain himself has declared
in his talk to us, that the Littfe Prince
had never denied since the death of Mcr
I'iblesli, and others but whut he had order

The cutting a canal across the point of

been perfected—Look nt tho Map !—A
canal of sixty miles will connect the
Suwanuey river of the Gulf with the St

Atlantic. The annual loss of property by
shipwrecks in navigating the intricate
and dangerous passage around Florida
point, to say nothing of the los9 of lives
and of time, should hasten the execution
of this grand work. By completing it
speedily the National Treasury we veril
believe would gain more in the increased

number of rivers, swamps qnd impassable
