will defeat the grand object of
remedying the obftruclion to out
navigation at the falls, bv both
companies failing. These fears
do not arise from any knowledge
of the funds of the companies,
but from a knowledge of the
vast expence which attends luch
undertakings. One canal might
be cut, but it is prtfumable
that the expence of cutting two
will be more than the funds of
the companies will be adequate
to meet. It is all important to
us, that a canal should be cur,
and every peifon ought to di
vert himfell of prejudice and not
let local interest prevent the ac
complifhrnent of an objedt with
which our prosperity is lo close
ly connedled.

On Monday morning last Col.
Benjamin Hawkins , the Indian
Agent for the United States*
arrived here, with a deputation
of Chiefs from the Upper and
Lower Greek Nations, confid
ing of Alexander Cornells and
TujkenehaWy from the Upper
towns; and William MHntoJk ,
Tujkee nee hue Chapco—Enchau
I'hluccOj and Che copy chelco E
mantlaiiy from the Lower towns.
On Tuesday they left this place
in the stage on their way to the
City of Walhington. We un
derfUnd that their visit to the
feat of Government is ro treat
for an extention of the bounda
ry line of this date to the Oak
mulgee river* the Upper Creeks
we are told are in favor of cede
ing the lands as far as the Oak
mulgee, and the Lower Greeks
opposed to it—we believe how
ever ttiar the agent is of opinion,
the land ma be obtained.
It will afford pleasure to a
benevolent mind, to know that
the efforts of col. Hawkins, to
meliorate the condition of the
savage tribes c and to bring them
into something like asocial date
have been greatly fuccefsful, &
that they are altnod daily, tho’
fiowiy, making advances in ci
vilization. There were in the
Creek Nation when the agent
left it twelve Looms employed,
eight of them, if we recoiled:
right, were made by Indians,
and are worked by Indian wo
men, who alfb spin the cotton
which they weave.- The plough
and the hoe are now alfo’m very
general uft among them, and in
becoming attached to property,
and being acquainted with the
comforts and advantages of ag
ricultural improvements, they
are losing very considerably
that predeledion for the chafe
and the hunting life, which, ai
med univerlaily charaderik
savage nations. The agent has
introduced among them weights
and measures, and made many
of them acquainted with figures,
so that they are enabled to weigh
out their own articles for sale,
and to calculate the amount of
them with g**eat accuracy—and
the advantages they dhcover to
arise from these giimrnerings of
science, is gradually exciting a
desire to extend their knowledge
and will doubtleis prepare the
way Ur the eftabHfhtnent of
schools among them, and will
create an ardor for future im
provements. From the advan
ces alrea y made in the a of
civd life, there can be iitt e
doubt that a foundation is iai-d.
f r ah entire change in the dif
pHkion 8c habits of these tribes.
Augufa Herald of Oct. 10.
A late curious document of
rel’gious history has been given
to the world from doctor Alh
burv, bishop of the met hod iff:
church. Ic relates to the in
crease of that religious fed with
in 35 years. It announces, that
in the United States and Cana
da, 120,000 persons were in
their fellowfldp and that one
million did attend to their mi
niflry, ib as to include a 7th
part of the whole population of
the United States. We cannot
lay how accurate this general
statement may be, but we may
pronounce its fuccefsm Ameri
ca has been unexampled. It has
in America 400 travelling
preachers, and 2000 local prea
chers. It profeffes to have pro
fitted much since the conference
in May, 1802, and to have held
two or three hundred extraor
dinary meetings with great ef
fect.

Mammoth Tree. —This re
markable tree (lands in the town
of Jefferfon, Cayuga county, on
the land of John bwartwout mar
fhai ot the ditli fcl of New-York.
Ic measures 57 and a half feet in
circumference, ami contains a
hollow in which at lead 17 men
can march and stand in a circle.
This enormous production of
nature is laid to be but con-wood
and is supposed to have been
the habitation of Indians and
hunters a number of years ago.
Being at firff a natural hollow,
the inflJe is probabF improved
lbmewhat by art, having one
fide open as a door; the larg*-
nefs of the hollo v is affomlhing,
making quite a large and com
modious apartment. What ren
ders this tree the more lingular
is that it is iliil green and tnrif

larger for a number of years to
come.
