INDIAN OUTRAGE. From the Alabama Journal. Montgomery, Feb. 12. On the Bth iust, a few miles beyond Line Creek Tuskina , one of the prin cipal Chiefs of the Creek Nation, ar rested the United Stales’ Mail, and delayed it, as the passengers state, about three, hours. YVc appre hend that the General Government Will take such measures as will teach “this savage that he. shall respect her sovereignty, at least • Wc expect that this case will create a good deal of ex citement, and will furnish another apt occasion for addressing quite a num ber of Memorials’ to Congress, by those gentlemen who have evinced such a lively sensibility in behalf of the Southern Indians, who are but little removed from civilization and Chris tianity. But we apprehend the hypo critical condolence of sm h disorgani. x'ers will be destined to be thrown un- Ider the table. The passengers were The celebrated performer, llorr Cline, and associates Andre Cline and Geo, A, Minns, on their way to New Or leans. | Upon the affidavit of the passen gers, process was is-tied against Tus j kina, and placed in the hands of the ! Sheriff Tje Sheriff foAiiid him in the nation, at TriplctOs accompaui- Warrenjton, February 27, 1830. ed by several other Indians, and ser v?d the process on him. He refused, however, to consider himself the Slier itT*s prisoner, and could not be pre vailed upon to accompany him. The Sheriff deeming it unsafe to attempt compulsion, returned w ithout him and has summoned to his aid the troops of cavjilry under the command of Cap. iaiiß Henry and Abercrombie, who shut this morning for the Nation. We appiphenu nothing serious from the !matin’, as the Indians will scarcely slant out in Tuskania‘s defence. Tuslania is the head man of the Na tionJand the son of the late Big YVar rior. Tlie particulars of the transaction will be fully understood by reference to tiic affidavit of the gentlemen pas sengers, who politely permitted us to take the following copy; “As the United States* Mail was pursuing its route from Fort Hull to Line Creek, an Indian, whom we af terwards understood was Ttiskina, met (he stage and desir and the driver to stop, which we of course, did not comply with; on which Tuskina turn ed his horse and followed the stage, accompanied by another person who appeared to be an interpreter, but who shortly afterwards left him.—Tuskina kept up with the carriage for nearly two miles, and then made a short cut towards another part of the road, in Which time he drew a large pocket knife, and when the stage came to where he was, he endeavoured to turn the horses, but not succeeding, ho rode to tin* Jr.it side of tli© driver, and made an attempt to stab him, in which lie would have, doubtless, succedcd, had not the driver, very promptly, jumped from his box. Ho immediately told the passengers he dared not drive on, as Tuskina would stab him. The horses were stopped by the sudden jerk of the reins, and the Indian sat on his horse near the wheeler, and telling the driver in a very authoritive tone, ♦stop,*.swearing, 'God dam your soul , stop. He asked the driver It’ he knew who he was, and also asked the dri verß name. After a delay of about 10 | minutes, a gentlemen came up, who, we afterwards learnt, was Col. Young of Alabama, who endeavoured to act as interpreter, but could not do so but very indistinctly, as he was not suffi ciently acquainted with the language, lie told us that Tuskina said, ‘that the whites were injuring him; that they | sought his life they wanted him to go iout of the country; that he had suffer** cred long enough, and the man should | not proceed;’ii was his country, his ground, and his property, and there it should stay, and not pass through ! any more.’ During this time he made Iscveral tlircatning attempts at the dri iverwith his knife, and likewise at tempted to run at one of the passen gers, of the name of Herr Cline, but was prevented by Col. Young; who said, on Herr Cline‘B asking if such was likely, that probably a present would have some influence on him, and ; Herr Cline took from his neck a very handsome silk handkerchief and gave him. This, in some measure pacified Tuskina, who afterwards said that he had nothing against the passongers, but it was Walker, and that neither mail nor driver should proceed. Col. Young proposed to go for an interpre ter, and Tuskina said he would wait the return; during which time the pas sengers were left iri a state of dread -10l anxiety and not daring to offer re sistance, from the various groups who were constantly, in different pla res, around us. In the mean time a number of persons came along with waggonfl, whom the passengers entra ted to stop, but Tuskina commanded them to go.--The passengers at length took sotno crackers and cheese from out of the carriage and presented some to him, of which he partook, and on their explaining to him they had no drink, he sent a boy who was with him away, au tUy thought for some. Af ter a short time the boy returned with two other Indians, with whom Tuski ua had some conversation in his own tongue, and they appeared to be argu ing the, propriety of his conduct; after which, Tuskiua desired the passen gers to go on, shaking hands with them, and desired the driver to get on his box and go, which was immediate* ly done—the Indian watching us until we were out of sight. The detention was three hours. This occurrence took place on Saturday, February 6th 1830, about five miles from Line creek, between the hours of noon and three, P. M. It is the general opinion of the passengers that Tuskina must have been sober, from the circum stance of his refusing some gin that Col, Young offered him. The only passengers in the stage were Herr Cline, Andre dine, and George A; Minns.” CONGRESS. THE DEBATE IN THE S A e 7 From the Correspondent ol the Philadelphia Gazette. Washington Ci ry, F* b. 6, 1830. •. “The debate in the Senate upon Vtf. Foote’s resolution continues vith unabated Spirits. 4 fortnight has already been corsumed in the discussion, and it is now to all appearance, no nearer termination than it was a week ago—on the contrary, every new speaker seems to add some new element of excitement of his own, or revives the agitations of fo r mer con flicts, and thus, instead of narrowing, toe field of controversy becomes daily wider and more discursive. The orininal points in dispute appear to have been wholly lost sight of, in the conflicts and collisions which have arisen upon other collateral issues. These have multiplied in number and increased in interegt*until the Senate themselves and their numerous auditors appear to have actually forgotten the pre cise question to which these speeches are. by parliamentary courtesy supposed to apply. No man ignorant of the nature of that question, on entering the Senate chamber, and hearing such frequent and vehement appeals to some of the strong est feelings of public men—State pride, party fidelity, and patriotic resentment, charged and recrimination, assault and de* fence, accusation and eulogy, listening to profound discussions from the most dis tinguished men of the country upnn the most abstruse and complicated questions of State policy and constitutional law in which our whole political and diplomatic history and the history of all patties and party conflicts from the days of the con* federation down to the present hour,t could possibly have supposed that so ma ny momentous and exciting subjects could have arisen upon so simple a proposition. The powers of the government; the origin and history of the Constitution, the rights of the Btates, the purchase of Louisana, the free navigation ot the Mississippi, sla very and colonization, the tariff, Fed era* lism, the war and the Hartford Conven tion, subjects with the very names of which the idea of intense excitement ia always connected, were severally brought up and discussed under the forms of a motion to postpone a resolution of inquiry into the survey of the public lands. You will of course understand that the adoption or rejection of that resolution is the least important object of the debate. It is the indications of the future policy of the government on the engrossing subject* of the public lands, and the movements and views of parties in Telation to that subject, connected with ulterior views qf partizans, which make the discussion so interesting and important The party in opposition to the adisini^ No. 3.1.
