Soon lifter the adjournment of the hist General Assembly, the necessary measures ■were adopted to carry Into effnet the lie solution of tho SCtlt December, 1848. re lative lb Ihe hind inp ssossionof the Oil#' rokccs, believed to'have been comprehend ed in tho contracts made with the Greeks by tho General Government. A Com missioner, (Ctrl. Wales, tf Habersham,), was appointed to 'collect Information in: relation to tho bmindaty lino between tire' • Creeks and Cherokecs. Ilia report, with tho evidence collected by him, httvihift sttf. ficivntly established in 'the opinion of the -Executive, that*the-proper lino between tho tribes In November, 1827, began at -Suwann, Old Town, end ran thence to the Hightower river, thence* to the month of Will'* creek on the Coosa, and thence, hy the old''Creek path to the Alabama line, Col.Wales Vas authorized to employ Sr competent Surveyor end assistants to run and mark.teeTihe. Copies of the in struction* to the 'Oortintlssroocr—of his Report of the evidence collected by him, and of tile Map of Ihe liue marked under -his direction, are herewith communicated. •Tho Territory in question is estimated to contain mat square r lies, or 1,187,880 ncres-Mhc soil is represented to be fertile.- As soon as the line was run by thoSui- teyoi, under tlte directiuhs of our Commis sion,-r (the evidence collected having been' previously Iranstnitud) b map of it Was sent to the President of the United States, with a request that ha would have the In dians residing upon the Territory Imnfedi- trtely removed. The answer of the 'Pre sident to this application, delayed'by the '-occidental miscarriage Of the map Slit pre pared for his use; lies Bceh recently thade through the Department of War, in two •communications. herewith presented to f . In the first, we kre told, “ the I’re- nt considers-it impro|rer fur hint to of any opioion on the question of tide,” bpt earnestly desires that Georgia will for bear ait'v course that may appear comput- aory. In the second, we are 'informed that tho President prefers to refer the nrutier, far the present, to a different tribunal.— To collect ovldence on the facts, upon Which tho claim of the Stare to the occu pallon of tire lands is founded, the princi ples upon which that claim tests, being eubsuniially admitted by the Secretary nf 'War, si gentleman of high character has been selected, Gen. Coffee, of AtabrfttYa, who trill proceed immediately to tho exe cution ol his ttust. The complaints oftlir Clierokecs of intrusions upon their lands, hare produced an order from the War De partment, for the femoral, after the loth, qf October, of those while persons wW hart) settled between the aucicnt and mo dern line separating the Creeks and Che- rokees. This order it a deration against its until further inquiry To what tribu nal allusion is made, is not explained— We cannot object to any investigation of the facts deemed necessary to justify Hie rpmt vs I af the Indians; hut the character of lire Slate would be cotnpromitted by any attempt to enter iota on investigation! as the adversaries of the Clierokecs, before any commissiooer, however recommended by his important services and spotless in tegrity. Whst 1s most to be regretted, is the determination of the FeJerai Govern ment to enfurce the law regulating trade and intercourse with ih* Indians. If the evidence collected by our Commissioner, proves that the land between the two lines is comprehended u the last Creek contract, the law of Congress dues not apply toil the Cherokecs arc nut the rightful occu pants. If they are rightful occupants, the law of Congress, the question of its con stitutionality bring waited, cannot ope rate after Julie, itido. If not already within the exception of the I Slit section of She act, in Juno next the Clierokecs in Georgia will bueome to, as they will he within the ordinary jurisdiction of tho State, ilopa it entertained that ciieum uancos may allow the Secretary of War to countermand thg order before tire time arrives for its execution, and that no be purrence will produce any excitement nr -collision between the Genera) and State Governments. The application to the President of tho United Stares to interfere, was inconsist ent with our aikdged right to determine pH such questions without the intervention nf the authority either nf the Executive or Legislature nf the Union; but having lieon made, in deference to past usage, end from a sincere desire to act ill concert with (he adimnistfxtion of the General Govern ment, a regard for consistency, not less than a due respect, for the authority t which we litvo appealed, uuile to compel us to wait tranquilly for the decision wo have invoked The only subject Pjr con sideration seems hr he, whetlie); irf antici pation of that decision, Ittf is favorahlo or adverse to the State, some- preparation is not proper for the survey and disposition of the land during the current year. Ity this course', if else Indians are removed, the country trill be earlier made useful to tho Slate, and no other hotter mode pro . cents itself for temperately assorting claim of the Slate, should' un.fortmisl tho Chief Magistrate of tlte United' St ultimately differ with u* in thonjocsiion right, .ihyour ilcliberations-on this subject, you will uni fail to bear in remembrance tfie grateful fact that (lie present Federal Administrator is duly sensible) of the long tried forbearance of the State, and our un feigned anxiety to have our claims adjust J _ _ -I .1 .Li.. .... .

I have tho satisfaction to communicate an other correspondence with tho Department of War, on tho suhjeot of tho Indians—the' Creeks and Cherokecs. The opinions up on which the act extending tho Stale .laws over theinillans within our Territory 1s founded, accord with those of the present administration of the Federal Government. In tlte exercise irfuur sovereign power, li mited ns it it,-only by tho 'Constitution of the Unitod Slates there is little danger of our again meeting'With formidable obsta cle* from tile imposing authority of Ihe.

I Tlte last Session of Gohgriin Having, closed without any decislbn on the question of the Florida line, serious doubts Were entertained whether 'tho General Assembly of the last year, did not Intend that the line should be run underthe direction of the State Government. 'On a careful examina tion of the Resolution of the General As sembly, and of (lie proceedings of the two branches df Congress, and a correspon dence With the Delegation from this State, it w*i Considered that (he failure of Con gress at the last session,'to net finally upon the question, could n it he 'fairly regarded as a refusal to piuke provision Tor running the line. In conjunction with the uuthori- tifs df Georgia.—Copies ofibo answers of those of our ilclegatio'n who replied to the Rxecntivo enquiry, and of the circular let ter addressed to all, ate laid before you. The appropriation of Hie last year for til# support hf the Penitentiary remains 'undisturbed in the Treasury. When it Is recollected that On appropriation of the same hmount,* SWdO. made for lltepreced- ing yeXV W*1 exhausted by the end of the third quarter—that the institution was pres sed for debts and \m,it/lo 10 meet its en gagements, when delivered into the hands of Ihe officers appointed under tlte amenda tory act of 1848, it will be admitted that tlte institution, has been managed with skill and economy, It may lie safely taken for granted that henceforward appropria tions lor it^sopport will not be wanted — The comparatively rigid discipline of tlte year has not been without in moral effect Upon tiro babilsund character of tire con- victs. Great improvement in llrese respects cannot be expected until -well chnngesarc made in the building a* v ill enable tire of- Heart to keep tlte prisoners separated during (benight.. Tire association of some six nr more persons of ail ages, And convicted of crimes differing in degrees of atrocity, in the same room without restraint ripon their conversation And actions, fs 'ruinous in Its consequences to theyi,tirtj> arid to the old. The old nre hardened in lhcir guilt, and (he yoftng thoroughly corrupted,leave the institution when the term of their Im prisonment is ended, adepts in ill their .1 rts of villany.td practise on the community tho lessons lea>ned from their Veteran instruc tors. In my own opinion, it would be »isc to construct a new building on same navi gable water cOune. -where stone is almn dent, on the model ol tire Penitentiaries of Neiv York—outplaying the convicts in (lie work—Believing, hdweVer.llut At present the people would nut approve tho requisite expenditure, as they are not sufficiently confluent of the wisdom or the system, I would earnestly recbrmnbnd that permit oil Inferior tribunals. In ihe kxorcise of this power some of tho judges isv(*o writs to correct'tho errors of the courts created fur Ihe tri ll of free persons of colur and slavas. Ollier judges,belle ring that these courts kre not recognised by tho constitu tion, os no appelate or supervisory juris-' diction is given by the law oraaling them in the superior'eourts, reject all application Tor writs of error to correct their proceed ings. At the first glance This difference of opinion seems to be extraordinary, and the constitutional .potver of the superior courts sufficiently clear. A little rciteo tiolt on ihe dll regulating tho trial of slaves and free poisons of color, shows that the decision against tlte power, is at least sustained by " legislative sanction. The act considers slaves and free persons of. cdtor without tho pale nf the consllthm. Tho propriety nr reconciling the •practice 6f the judges, inn-question affecting both property anil life, by art amendatory art, need ndt be pressed upon tire attention xtf; the General Assembly.
