GOOD NEWS.
Tlirrig” the politeness o. a mead, wq jj. t\*o

receive,! here by last l’uesday's mail. The
source from which it emulates entitles it to the tit
most couthlcucc}
u Miilrdg cillr, June 2, 18J3.
’"Presuming it will not be uninteresting to you, I
have the happiness to inform you, that information,
which rintiat be questioned, Ins just arrived in
town that ALL THE CHEROKEE INDIANS
WITHIN THE LIMITS OF GEORGIA.
11 WE BEEN CAPTUREP AND SAFELY
LODGED IN FORTS. Tin emigration must
proceed, notwithstanding tlic President's wish to
the contrary. h ours, &c.”
We wonder what the President and has Nor
thers fanatics will say and do, when this informa
tion reaches them ? Thor seal for'the cause of
tile Indians has readied to such a» unreasonable
J’-cight there is no telling where if may find a stop
ping place. When they find that although their
impertinent and uncalled lor interference in be
half of the Cherokees, has Lean successful in can
mii ' the President to turn traitor to the best inter
eUsof the South, that the people of Georg 1 a are
Georgians in leod, an i* that in spite of their med
dling and the Preside nt’s s\y so, they will defend
tln-.r rights, and remove the Indians forthwith,
they may, perhaps, petition Congress to send an
armed force against us iu order to prevent the exe
cution of the treaty ; out avho knows but another
1 (hful band of TEN T 1 IOCS AND “MINUTE
MEN ’ may !> ■ purad J who will tender their ser
vices to the little i rincc to carry out their design
and his wishes in relation to this matter, and so
lemnly promise to obey any com it in J issuing from
his imperial throne ? Is there a mail in the whole
.South who would be astonished at such a proce
dure? We think not. The Northern people ap
pear to be completely alienated from those of the
South, and should petition after petition crowd
upon Congress bearing the signatures of thous
ands, calling for an army ot nyeroiuarics to be sent
againsl Georgia, we would not be in the least sur
prised-—should information be brought us by the
next mail, that an edict had gone forth from the
great Metropolis, in the shape of a Proclamation,
commanding Georgia to yield an unconditional
sun mission to the will of its author and the wishes
of the Northern fanatics, backed by a train band
“Minute Men,” our astonishment would not, in
the least degree be heightened. And why, some
ct our readers may be ready to ask. Because
the fever of Northern fanatics raires against us—
the President has acted in bad faith, and we have
no assurance that he will not attempt to carry out
the designs of our opponents, and as he has pledg
ed himselt to “walk in the footsteps of his illus
trious predecessor,” whose example he has heforo
hun, he may keep his pledge, and attempt by
I roclanvitious and a grand display of military ar
ray, to make Georgia bow to his decrees.
But let them come sooner or later, there is not
one man in Georgia who would not stand by her
lignu and liberties until they were secure, or they
h- found weltering in their blood.. The people
ot Georgia are fully determined the Indians shall
be removed, and we can now tell them in the lan
guage of a Troup, that when the argument is cx
musted xcc will stand by o#r arms*
When the news first reached us that Mr. Van
'uren wished Georgia troubled with the Chcro
bei Indians two years longer, we were of the opin
ion there was not a press in the State so securely
omul to his will as to attempt to screen him from
die just indignation and contempt of an insulted
people, but in this we have been mistaken, there
" ac ' HQ d barely one, so far as we have seen, that
is disposed to shield Mr. Van Bureu ftflni the cen
sure so justly his own, and that press is the Macon
Georgia Telegraph.
hy the Telegraph should not speak out like
a man, and with the independence of a freeman,
' u are unable to say ; or why he should attempt
“prove that which every man of common sense
' s conv inced to the contrary, we are unable to ac
* ouut, unless it is that he has become alarmed for
b success ol his fgvoritc, and consequently the
defeat of th° party attached to him in this State.
\\ ith him, therefore, the “King can do no wrong.”
and every measure emanating from the Adminis
tration iia willing and ready advocate iu the
Editor ol the Telegraph, be it right or wrong,
good orbad.
But after all. we do not think we need be so
much surprised at the course pursued by the Tel
egraph, as we know of no man who is at all times
more willing to advocate any measure of the party
to which he i.s attached, and to do the bidding of
its rulers. As long as wej have been acquainted
with him, we have never known him to speak a
gair.st any measure of the party to which lie be
longs, no matter how dangerous in its operation
aud tendency. Docs Air- \an Buren recommend
that the Indians have two years longer to emi
grate, in the face of reason, justice and humanity,
lie /iudsan advocate and an apoligist iu the Tide
graph, and who, to drag the people of Georgia
into the support of his idol, endeavors to throw a
veil over the whole affair, as well as every other im
proper step of the Adiniiiistrtiiou, in order to hide
the liideousness arid enormity of his offences,
and pronounce every man we.a does not assist in
their hallelujahs, a h■i< . ahsts, Abolitionists or
nay enemy to him mie.tn in srmi: shape or other.
V e arc sorry th e in re.orcnce to the recom
mendation n( tji“ I’r -i lent everv press Hi the state
has not independence enough sp , iu
voice of just mUi-:a;i., t a\j rebuke. This hide
bound party spirit, with which our friend of the
1 1 .ograph seems to he poscgssod, may some* day
piuve d.’OjCrQua to our liberties, For v.hcn a
I pt'Css becomes so firmly bound to a party that it
can view w ith pidiftereucc its ravages and continue
to lend that party its support, the consequence.;
must be extremely fatal.
The Macon Telegraph says, in relation to the
delay recommended by the I’resident in the remov
'd °t *he C herokevs, “Had Schley been elected
insteod of Gilmer, we venture to assert we should
have heard nothing of a two year*' delay!'* Alto
gether likely, friend Telegraph, bat we are some
what surprised that you should be so indiscreet as
to make the declaration, tor yon must be aware
that it presents you idol in no very enviable light.
Had Schley been elected we have but little doubt,
Van I?uren would instantly become reconciled to
Georgia, and forgiven her past offences against
him and “received her Ire dyß’ for then he would
have conceived she was securely within his grasp,
ami bc’n perfectly satis,'ie 1. E-vibes, it would
not have been his wish, in tlic least <,egvee, tt)
cramp Air. Scliley, or put his patriotism to A’ic
test, because they are both of the same faction
and well may you venture to predict, Air. Tele>
graph, that “had Schley bean elected instead of
Gilmer, we should have hear l nothing of a two
yi etrC delay
But Georgia, for refusing to acknowledge the
Prince of Kindeihjok as m,a fitting to rule over
her, when she rejected 1:> Electoral Ticket, and
for reiterating her determination to keep her skirts
clear, in driving Air. S -hley into retirement, must
idler the Indians to remain w ithin her limits two
years longer, ns » ptMfrhuHmt for what the Presi
dent would consider her r a t off tiers, or throw
liersclf upon her resen ed rights, and fight, it may
be for her soil.
Van Huron ought to have known Georgia bet
ter tiiati to have attempted such an underhand.a!
game, and the min iu Georgia, who shall attempt
to screen him from merited odium, will receive ghr
people's indignation—and the blow which has
thus been insidiously raised by Yah Bureu to crush
Air- Gilmer, will f. coil with a tea fold vengeance
on his own head, while his intended victim will
receive the benedictions of a grateful people for
his devotion to their rights and liberties.
THE NORTH ns. THE SOUTH.
In order that our readers may have some idea
of the opposition which is raging against the
South, we publish the following account of peti
tions received in the House of Representatives,
21st May, on the Cherokee treaty alone.
We would not unnecessarily alarm tlic South,
but when we see so muc h zeal, energy and opposi
tion arrayed against her, we feel we should be guil
ty of neglect of duty were we not to raise a.warn
ing voice. Day after day some project is. on foot
calculated in its operation to crush us to the dust,
and cause us to obey the beck and call of the Nor
thern fanatics. Abolitionism is tlmir first song
in tlic morning and the la tat night. The Chcro
kees have excited their sympathies, and in order
that they remain within our limits, they would be
perfectly willing that our cities, towns and v illages
should be deluged'with blood, and wretchedness,
misery and want be swept o’er the land.
They have also, become alarmed tor tear the
the .South might gain some aid by the annexation
of Texas to the Union,'and that is made a subject
by these busy bodies to crowd the Ifill of Con
gress with petitions against the object. Arid in
fact every measure t lint is calculated to advance
the interest of the South hoc; is, with a determin
ed and infatuated resistance from these w orst- than
deluded people. But read tilts "black lettered

lIur.VUT.MKNT OF W.\R, )
May 2fi, 1833. S
Sirs 1 have thehoitor to transmit herewith to
your Excellency, a copy of a proposed arrange
ment with John Ross and other chiefs, and head
men of the Cherokee nation, now in this city.
Your Excellency v.-ill perceive in these proposals
that the Government, while it seeks to procure tip:
co-operation of the delegation in the peaceable
removal of the Cherokees, has carefully abstained
from compromitting the rights and interests of the
States concerned in the execution of the treaty.
It is not supposed that, it will require so long a
period as tw o years to remove the remaining Cher
okees to their new homes west of the Mississippi,
But whatever term of time may bo necessary t >
their comfortable emigration, tho Department
relies upon tho generosity of tho Slates interested
not to pre*s their claims so long as they arc satis
lied that due dilligenee is used by the agrents of
The nation, to effect this desirable object as speed
ily as practicable.
Very respectfully,
Your most obedient servant,
J. R. POINSETT.
To the Governors of Georgia, Tennessee, Alaba
ma, and North Carolina.
EXECTJTIVK Df.I'ARTHKNT, ?
Milledgeville, May 28, 18.38. £
To the Hot). .Toni. R. Poinsett :
Sir:—l lutvc the honor of recojv i-*g from you
the proposals of the Government to John lioss, 1
aud instructions to General Scott.
The surjuise and regret excited in myself at
these proceedings of the Government, I am sure
will be felt by every citizen of the State. I can
give to them uo sanction whatever. The propo
sals to iloss could not be carried into execution
but in violation of the rights of the State. The
vo.y making of rh-in must prove exceedingly in
jurious to the interests of its people.
The lands which are iuthe occupancy of the
Indians, are the private property of its citizens,
and the owners are now entitled by the Jaw to pos
session. For the purpose of preventing all un
n 'cessary suffering and hardships on the part of
the Cherokees, the proprietors have been earnest
ly entreated not to enforce their rights at once, but
t" wait until the Indians should be removed by
tiie army. They have been assured that this
would be doue by the President as soon as possi
ble. and in perfect good faith. Sincere regret is
b-!t that file success of these efforts in tin* cause
of humanity lias Iwe 11 defeated by the Govern
ment. As soon ns the proposals to Ross and the
instructions to General Scott ar@ known to the
proprietors, th y will no longer be restrained from
taking posses-ion of their property. It become .
neee-.sary. therefore, that 1 should know whether
the President intends, iuthe instructions to Gen.
Scott, to require that the Indians shall be main
tained in their occupancy by an armed lore*, in
opposition to ihe rights of Uu n-, vuer 0 f fi u sol j.
I: such is the of tho President, a direct
colb- ju bet-.vg.rg Ihe authorities of the State and
the General Government must ensue. My duty
will require that I shall prevent any interference*
whatever by tiie troops with the rights of the State
gild its oitirtoiut. { slrall not fad to perform ii To
avoid misunderstanding, permit me to request that
you will communicate to me, and ns early a 1 you
can conveniently, the President's views upon this
subject.
I li >\e no doubt !n\t the Indiana can be removed
from the State, in tho execution of the treaty and
by tire troops now organized and stationed in the
country with that avowed purpose, with more
ease and cxpedilmn, aval a readier acquiescence
on the part of the Indians, than by any means in
the power of this State. If, however, the Gov
ernment consents that Ross and his friends shall
remain two years longer, the Siare will be obliged
to get rid of th" evil; which must mccwiarily arise
from such policy, by exercising its own right of
jurisdiction, and remove them by the most effi
cient means which it can command.
Very respeetfuilv, Yours, Arc.

TRIM, AND ACQUIT A L OF VIRGIL V
STUART —Cotjumr of John .1. Mu ml.
-V ssrs Clancy A- Fran’ l :—lt is with’ great plea
's mv that 1, ns one of your patrons, communicate
to you the Trial a::! Acipntul of that patriotic
young man Virgil A. Smart. He was charged
with the crime of larceny (as you no doubt have
heard) bv the notorious Matthew Clanton, who
exerted every nerve to effect the everlasting dc
strir tiou of our Southern Benefactor. Yes, he
even proved that ho (Stuart) was guilty of tho
charge, but by no oilier persons than by thesu
w'hq were his fnithfh! adherents, and consequently
equally base with himself. But thanks to heaven!
this testimony was destroyed aud set aside by nmu
who were notorious for good rliarartpr, and
declared that they would not believe the per ; &
who had given in tho tnstimouy on oath, iu
court us justices w here they wove interested
More fording remarks I never heard from any
tornev than those made bv flu: attonfi.os ot tim de
fendant ; they were in truth, extraordinary or: the
occasion. After the arguments had closed, tho
jury was ordered to retire, and in a very P w min
utes brought iu a verdict which declared that the
defendant was not guilty of the charge alledg'-d
ag;. ; ;.*t him. .
Mr. Stuart was almost universally' congratul >-
ted. The occasion was so extraordinary that it
merits a place iu the history of our beloved coun
try. Tho arbitration of this case was consign*-1
i to a jury- of tills county, (Choctaw,) which has
dniiu hun or to the county which it reside* in.—
Thus terminated the trial ot \ irgil A. -Stuart.—
W(*imn behold J litlkiw Clanton placed beneath
the notice of a man of honor, by his false charge,
while Virgil A. Stuart is di aitignished and ;.p
ptamled in a manner almost v. i'brut a pnnl!el.
The trial occurred on Thursday and Friday
