Information has been received from Col. Lind
say, that he is unable to make the necessary pre
parations for the defence of the people of t!:e Che
rokee country, without the aid of infantry compa
nies:—that a company of mounted men caunot be
supported at all in the county of Union, and w ith
great difficulty in the adjoining counties, which
are most exposed to Indian depredations on ac
count of the scarcity of provisions.
The Commander-in-Chief therefore, again ap
peals to the patriotic citizens of the State, to form
themselves into infantry companies, and to tender
their services for the protection of the people of
the Cherokee country.

By George R. Gilmer, Governor and Com
maiider-in Chief of the Army and -Vary of this
S.’i'e, and of the !\Tili f ia thereof:
JV j|7 i IERE AS information has been received at
'i v this Department, that frequent trespasses
are committing upon the rights of the Indians in
this State, and that many of them, after enrolling
for emigration, are prevented from removing to
the country provided for them iu the West, by
vexatious arrests:
And whereas such conduct is in violation of the
law s, the principles of justice and humanity;
highly injurious to the prosperity of the State, by
preventing the speedy depirture of the Indians
from its territory, an J may bring upon the people
of the Cherokee counties evils of the greatest mag
nitude---
I have therefore thought proper to issue this
my proclamation, requiring the agents for the pro
tection of thcChero! ces, and all civil and military
officers, to use their authority in securing to the
Indians the quiet enjoyment of their peaceable
and unobstructed removal from the .State, so far as
may be permitted by the laws, upon their enrol
ling for emigration ; and calling upon all good cit
izens of the Cherokee country, as they regard
their own security and the preservation of their
property, to aid in effecting these objects.
In testimony whereof, 1 have hereunto set my
Igii: ! and caused the great seal of the State to
be affixed at the Capitol, in Milledgoville,
this seventeenth day of March, eighteen hun
dred ati I thirty-eight, aud of the sixty corn!

bordering on the ( hattdiooi hce and Flint Rivers,
in this secti. nos Georgia, call loudly Hr a chron
icler of the times.
We do not deem it nercssary to go into a
h iigtliy detail of the doctrines th s paper will sup
port, or the principles it will inculcate, and the
grounds upon which they are predicated—but
vvih merely state that it is intended to diffu e gen
eral information throughout the country, of a Do
mestic, Foreign anti Political nature. A consid
erable portion of its columns will be devoted to
Literary and Miscellaneous matter, which depart
ment shall receive particular attention.
We deem it necessary, however, to state that the
political stand which the Mirror will assume, will
be a firm-and independent one; and in support oi
the Statu diems and Anti-Van Buri n party
of Georgia; but conducted with moderation anil
prudence, without descending to the low billings
gate which is o characteristic of the political
Newspapers of the day. Claiming the right to ex

at all times to admit that right in others—and when
ever occasion requires us to speak of the doctrines
or opinions of our political opponents, w e sl.vii do

TROSFECTI s.
of The
Wonllicrn Ulerary
KTMIIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly
-I- to Literature, but occasionally finding
room also for articles that fall within the* scope of
Science ; and not professing an entire disdain of
tasteful selections, though its matter lias been, as
it will continue to be, in the main, original .
Party Politics, and controversial Tlteoloo u, as
fir as possible, are jealously excluded. They arc
sometimes so blended with discussions in litera
ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjection
able, as to gain admittance for the sake of the
more valuable matter to which they adhere : but
whenever that happens they are incidental, only;
not primary. They are dross, tolerated only be
cause it cannot w ell be severed from tire sterling
ore wherewith it is incorporated.
Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy their
due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim
that they should have a threefold tendency—to
convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths
or interesting incidents as are embodied in the
works reviewed,—to direct the readers attention
to books that deserve to be read—and to warn
him against wasting time and money upon that
large number, which merit only to be burned. In
this age of publications that by their variety.and
multitude, distract and overwhelm!! every undis
criminating student, impartial criticism, gov
erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the
most inestimable and indispensable cf auxiliaries
to him who does icish to discriminate.
Essays and Rales, having in view utility or a
umseincnt, or both— Historical sketches —and
Remimsences of events too minute for History,
yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest
may be regarded as forming tli*» staple of the
work. And of indigenous Toetry, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to m an
ifest and to cultivate the growing "poetical taste
and talents of our country.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—-aud not one alone, but many.
The public mind is feverish and irritated stiil,
from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allay that
fever, and soothe that irritation. Vice and folly
are rioting abroad :—They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their
fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im
ueuse proportion of our peopl •: —Every sprint
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
ed, and to increase th**ir number; so that the
great enemy of popular government may no lon
ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the des
tinies of our country. Ynd to accomplish all
these ends, w hat more powerful agent can be em
ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes
senger ; if that plan be but carried out in prac
tice !
The South peculiarly requires such an agent.
In all the Union, south of Washington, there are
but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that
city, there are probably at least twenty-five or
thirty! Is this contrast justified by the wealth,
the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary
taste of the Southern people, compared with
those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal
ents aud taste, we may justly claim, at least, an
e yudi!y with our brethren md a domestic insti
tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for read
ing and writing which they enjey.
It was from a deep sense of this local w ant, that
the word Southern was engrafted on this peri
odical : and not with any design to nourish local
prejudices, or to advocate sifpposcd local inter
ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi
tor's fervent wish, to see the North and South
hound endearingly together, forever, in the silken
hands of mutual kindness and affection. Far
■Vom meditating hostility to the north, lie has al
ready drown, and lie hopes hereafter to uraw
much of his choicest matter thence; and happy
indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by
making each region know the other better contri
bute it: any essential degree to dispel the lowering
clouds that now threaten the peace of both, anil
to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra
ternal love.
'ilie Southern Literary Messenger has
now reached the 11 tlx No. ot its thud volume.—
lion far it has acted out the ideas here littered,
is not for the Editor to say. He believes, how
ver that it falls not further short of them, than
human weakness usually makes Practice full short
of Theory.

IN - commencing anew volume, the publisher
would take occasion to observe, that not only
