After turning from the main road, up an irrow lane, so thickly shaded by f. ♦rest trees, as to give it a complete air f seclusion, we came in sight of the cottage. It was bumble enough in appearance for the most pastoral poet; arid yet it had a pleasing rural I<> k. A wild vine had overrun one e*.d with a profusion of foliage; a few trees threw their branches gracefully over it; and I observed several pots of tt >wers tastefully disposed about the door, arid on the grass plot in front. A small w icket gate opened upon a f iitpath that wound through some shrubbery to the door. Just as we Approached, we heard I he sound of music—Leslie grasped my arm; we plus <1 and listened.

UEORGI V LEG I SLA POBK. ’"house OF KEPKE KNTATIVKB. Friday, Dec. 12. Mr. Iverson laid on the utile thelol-J lowing report and ievolutions: The Committee to whom was refer-j red ilie res. lutnoi directing them to ; rnnuire whether the Cherokees are now in possession of any laud former ly the properly **f the Creeks, and e- Ued by ih> in to the United Slates for the use of (isirgi, have had the e.nne under <unsidi ration, and beg leave to REPORT; ‘That by an examination of the treaty held and concluded on tlie 22d March, 1818, between the United States and Uie Creek tribe of Indians it is herehv ascertained, that said tribe cited to the whites certain b Miudeiics designatedHiy said treaty, the northern part of which was a line I'iinning from duvvanua old town, on the chatlaiioo bee, to the head of the Appalarhee River. Ily ref n nee to the treaty of the Bth of July, 1817, be tween the Clurnk*eH and Ihe (i< ncral Government* it is also ascertained, that said tribe ceded* by said treaty a portion of their lands lying north of said line and Last of the Chattahoo chee. From which it would clearly appear, that as late as 1818 the Su wanna old town on the Chattahoochee was the point on said River to wliii It the boundaries of the Creeks and CherckeoH extended. The one hav ing reded lands north, and the other south of that point By reference to the other treaties with said tribe entered into by the United States, it appears that the mouth of Willis Creek on the Coosa River, was the established point of boundary be tween said tribes on that River. The most rational conclusion, from these facts is, that the boundery be tween said tribes west of tue Chat tahoochee was a line connecting tiie two punts above designated, viz; tho Su wanna old town, on the Chat tahoochee, and the the mouth of Wil lis Creek, on the Coosa River. In confirmation of this conclusion, your committee have received information Iroui Gen. L). B. Mitchell, former Creek Agent, that a boundary had been established between sard tribes running from Su wanna old town as a loresaid, immediately across to the Hightower liiver at a place called fcixas old town—thence down said river to ihe mouth of Wills Creek, that su-’.h boundary was agreed upon and establish ed between said tribes, by a convention or tieuty held many years ago, to which the Ulined States was a party and which was ratified and recognized’ hy the General Government as the permanent boundary hue between said tribes. Yoor commit tee are couhdent, from all the information win. h they have received, that the fact is f Uocepuble ot prool, not only from the re poit made to the General Government by Col. Hawkins, lormerly Indian Agent, but by Uie testimony of living witnesses, lhat such was the established boundary of >anl tribes between said rivers, Coosa and Cliititahoochee, and the only one ever re cognised and ratified by the Government ot the United States. Your committee are aware of the fact that b) a subsequent agreement or con vention between said tribes, in 1821, an other, and a ditterent boundary was at tempted to be established, running from the Buzzard roost on the Chatiahoochee in a straight line to the mouth of Wills Creek. But this line was agreed upon and run by the Indians themselves without the assent or auihorifv of the General Government. The United States was no party to *>u< h agreement, nor have your committee understood that it has been re cognised or lalilicd by the General govern ment. It is therefore void. The Creek tribe h id no right, according to the constitution >1 the United Stales, and laws of Con gee**, to cede any portion of it* territory to the Cherokees, by any arrangement, treaty or negotiation to which the U. Sta.es was not a party. • he convention oetwe*'n said tribes be mg thus clearly and unquestionably mil and voi the whole ol the territory Iving south of the line established, amt perma neni boundary, between trib., fi;t above described, east of the Alabama line, is now the rightful property of Geo gia, for by the treaty of 15th Nov 1827 made by the Creeks with the United States all the lands owned or claim- and bv the Creek nation of Indians, not heretofore ceded, and which on actual surveys sh >uld be found to be within tho limits of Georgia, were ced ’d to ihe Uni’ed States for the use of Georgia. It is the tart ad mitted on all hands, and we l ascertained, that the territory thus describ and does lie within the chartered limits of Geoigia. Under these considerations, and with these views, your committee beg leave to otter the following resolutions. Resolved. That his Excellency the Governor be authorized and requested to ad >pt the most ellicient means to pro cure all the information, and evidence in Ins power in relation to the true boutnla iy line between the said tribes of Indians Resolved , That should the fact be suf ficiently established in his opinion, that the proper line between said tribes, at the time of cession bv the treaty with the Greeks of Nov 1827, was the one first a bo\e describ and, hcfUnn ng fit the Suwanna old town as aforesaid, running to the Hightower River, and thence to the mouth of Willis creek on the Coosa that he be instructed to take immediate and ellicient measures to have said line dis tinctly run and marked, in such a manner as he may deem most advisable. Resolved , l hat as soon as said line shall be iun and marked, that lis Excel lency the Governor be instructed to re quest the President of the United States to have removed immediately all and ev ery Indian whether Creek or Cherokee, who tnay be found residing within the ter ritory aforesaid. On Tuesday the bill to establish a Cen tral Bank, passed the Senate by 8 votes majority. There were some amendments made; it will have to be returned to the House for concurrence. “ TKMWtiE ’ WJHltt /f.\T7 V, DEC. 20. 1828. From our correspondent at Jlilledgeville.
