Defeat the Turks by Hie Egyptians^ —The
t allowing account of a great battle between the
armie -of the Grand Sultan and the Egyptians,
in which the former was defeated, with the cap
ture of the Grand Vizier, (the Prime Minister
of Turkey.) is the most important item by this
arrival. ’ It is as follows;-
CONST A M'INOPLE, Deo. 26.
The greatest gloom prevails here. The Sul
tan and his people appear to have fallen into a
state oi apathy, indicative of a total dissolution.
‘.Vi*- ton;s s gives up his case as desp; rate, and
does not venture to excite the people's minds
by artificial means, lest he should not be aide to
calm them agatn and keep them within bounds, i
Th unfortunate result of the battle of Kotunh,
and the captivity of the Grand \ icier, leaves
th’ <aj ital withont means ofdefence. There are ;
still,perhaps 30,000, Tuikishtroopsdisperscd in
Asia Minor, and 10,000 regulars in reserve, hut
their ■ pirit does not correspond with the threat
ening danger, nor is their any aide leader pos
sessing sufficient self-confidence, and who is
< onaidered as able to restore good fortune to
the standard of the Sultan. Uedschid I'acha
i was the on’-. . ..an possessed of these* qualiiica- ;
tions. 1 lis termer good fortune lias deserted
i him, and gone over to his younger adversary
lie fought valiantly, and when his defeat vras
decided, devoted himself to death, which how
i ever, ho did not find. Superior to his adversa
i v v in the number of his troops, he unhappily did
, not act with prudence, which an able General
should never lose sight of.—lie resolved, on
| the 21st, to light a battle which should decide
I the campaign at one blow. With this view he
| followed Ibrahim into the defiles of Ivaran.au
■to attack him there. His measures wore near
\ ly as follows : —the main body of the Sultan’s
| noops, 42,000 in number.chicfiy Albanians, and
,"00 oft.be Grand Vizier's household troops, un
der his own command, were to make the prin
tipal attack on the centre of the Egyptians,]
while the Turkish cavalry- divided into *\vo:
corps of 6,000 men each, was to engage the ]
wings of Ibrahim’s army, and attack when it
! should see an opportunity. Ibrahim, perhaps, j
I guessed this plan and favored by the defiles, j
had sent strong columns against the Grand i
Viziers wing; leaving in the centre onfy suffi- j
cient troops to cover his movements. He had i
scarcely reached the extremity of the wings of;
he Grand Vizier, when he impetuously attack
ed the Turkish cavalry and dispersed if, and
then attacked the Grand Vizier himself, on both j
! Hanks,
L nprcpareu for this attack, and engaged with j
the Egyptian centre, which had already broken, I
he hastily collected some of his best troops to f
oppose the Egyptians, but in vain. Nothing ]
remained but to make the enemy pay as dear as ! j
possible for the victory, which was unavoidable; j
this was done, and the Egyptians did purchase 1 1
their triumph by a sanguinary conflict of six j ]
hours duration. The loss on each side was ‘
nearly equal. When the Albanians w > dis-1 1
i parsed, the Grand Vizier, win • , <
I household Hoops, defended himsci’ • ~}_ -

en i bv. ,if the Turkish troops in Asia Miaoi !
--ould be assembled quickly enough, they might 1
I lie e impelled to make a most dangerous re- ‘
retreat. But they- need not fear this.
[, There is no genius or spirit in the Councils 1
|of the Sultan, meantime the Emperor Ni-ho sa •
■is acting with the greatest magnanimitiy. Count 1
f Murawiefi is gone to Alexandria to try to make
I peace, and is to to threated Mehemct All with

•luraria. —The Village of Auraria, is situated on the
| ridge dividing the waters of the Chcstatce and Etoah
Rivers, on lot number six hundred and sixty-four, in the
twi lit.- 1 district, and first section, of or.&iually Cherokee,
. now Lumpkin county; and supposed to be immediately in
j the most valuable part of the Gold Region. Its locality,
justly entitles it to the name which it bears; bring one
I as we conceive, of melodious sound, accompanied with
i classic taste, and appropriate derivation, and as we at all I
times take pleasure in awarding merit, to whom it is due,
wv give the name cf the late Vice President, John C.
Calhoun, as the author of this admirable selection, from
the catalogue of names, which he suggested for this place,
. when at his mines in this neighborhood last November.
I lie first Cabin was erected here about the firstof June
last, by'William Dean, Esq. who was shortly followed
by Nathaniel Nuckolls, Esq. who opened a house of cn
i tertainnunt for the accommodation of those disposed to
, make examinations for gold in the surrounding Country;
1 and the consequence was, that his house was immediate
ly crowded with the moat respectable, end ent *ising>
part of community from this, and .ether stites. The
suer ssful’ ffi ct of th fust ad\<*nturer's ajfeg ‘L

or teiy drew together a population composed of all clas
s’s and conditions cf the human family, from the most
indigent beggar, to the wealthy nabob.
The Lot on which Aunuia stands, having been drawn
by orphans sometime in January la?t, and they having at
that time no Guardian to ac t for them, the growth of the
place was greatly retarded fiom that period, until a few
days since. The Guardian of the Orphans has just left
here,after making satisfactory arrangements with the citi
zens for the present year,and the state of improvement is
now going on in a manner wo will venture to say, un
precedented in any back country village in the southern
£ tales.
There is now on tins Forty Acre Lot of Land, one
Hundred Family dwellings; eighteen or twenty stores;
twelve or fifteen law offices, and four or five Taverns, &c.
The town population is estimated atone thousand, and
that of the county, at ten thousand, and constantly in
cn asing, w ith a rapidity almost too incredible to relate.
The Indian population is small; their right of occupan
cy to the soil, having in most cases, been cx tin gushed
j previous to the survey and distribution of the country.
I The mines already drawn in this vicinity, (not involved
in litigation) are yielding to the proprietors in rich abun
’ dance, the anticipated fruits of the most sanguine specu
lator.

! was launched in the Chcstatce river on Friday evening

the question of title to the Georgia Gold Mines, before

after tire passage of this bill, this Cbcrokers in due form,
gave notice to Governor Cass, Secretary of V> ar, of their
determination not to progress in the treaty which they
had made, in a great measure by compulsion. It is now
suiJ, and believed, thev will carry the ir case before the
Supu me Court of the tinted States, and it is the opinion
generally, of sound lawyers, tiiat a decision will be made

among her citizens, or to resist the decision of uic cui
preme Court by force arid arms. All this difficulty has
arisen out of the passage of a bill, vvliieu if. a blot upon
our statute book, and which 1 think was pressed upon
Congress, for the sole purpose us gratit ving the passions
of weak ami wicked men. Aeu shall receive lurtber

dence could dictate. To those who had improvements,
n right to enjoy their possessions, until that right should be
peaceably and amicably extinguished on their part, by a
treaty with the United States; and such lands as were
j vacant, and such as had ’ ecn abandoned by the emigra
ting party of Indians, has been granted to the drawers
on application to the Ftalc authorities, and too coun
try is settling with a zeal and rapidity, unprecedented in
any former acquisition of territory. Are we now to be
dispossessed of our premises ? Are vve to he interrupted i

in onr pockets, to be thrown out of doors, and ordered to dc- j
part fiom our own houses ? Are there any so dastardly as
submit to such indignities ? If so, he had better flee from
the wrath to come—for be will not find refuge in a South
ern climate. No, the slightest touch of this sort, will be
considered, an assault, which under our laws, will justify
a battery. And when the blow is stricken, a case ensues
which no Court, known to the laws of this country can
determine, (no not even the Supreme Court of the United
States.)

Lewis Cass. — Secretary of the war Depart
ment. —Among the few distinguished individuals
of the nation who have escaped the missils of
I party during the recent political conflict, the
present Secretary of t\ ar stands conspicuous.
I His brilliant and commanding talents—his un
spotted integrit v and eminent national services,
all combined, seem to have raised for him a
shield ol defence, aiikfi potent against the bitter
ness of party hate, and the reckless spirit oi ri
valry and ambition. Indeed, a very respectable
portion of the party opposed to the administra
tion, of which he is an ornament have been forc
ed to concede publicly that their opposition ex
tends not to him. This high tribute to talents
and public virtue, is in tile present instance am
ply deserved ; as a hasty and brief recurrence
to some distinguishing event in his past life may
serve to illustrate.
<iov. Cass is emphatically a self made man.
He was born we believe in the state of’Ncw-
Hampshire, but emigrated soon after complet
ing his education, to the then mart of youthful
enterprise and ambition, the new state oi’ Ohio.
Here, for several years, ho pursued with emi
nent success and marked ability, the profession
of the law, and gave early presage of those
powers of mind which eventually raised him to
his present elevated position in the public view,
and as a profound jurist and accomplished
statesman, the same genius and industry evinc
ed in the humbler but intricate controversies of
individuals, readily enabled him to extend his
intellectual grasp to those great topics of gene
ral interest, involving the principles, the policy
and the rights of nations.— Sttsquehannah Re
gister.
Matthew Carey has “ quit the drive,” in des- ’
pair of the cause of protection. In his vaiedic-j
tory, speaking of the late conciliation ati, lie 1
says, “ The dignity of the Government is inde
libly tarnished and effaced; it has experienced
not a temporary oenuCßrijn ILT;. iy, but we.
would hope, an everlasting annihilation, we 1
mean, of course, that part of the gov
ernments dignity, which consisted in regulating
and controlling the pursuits of private industry.
Well! cade in pace is our respectful adieu ; for we
respect the man. We never doubted the purity
of his motives, and we have much to remember
of his services to his country. We have not
forgotten among other things, his Olive Branch
which came with healing efficacy in the last
war, to make peace between angry parties, and
unite them against the common enemy. Such
men when they take a wrong bias are capable
of doing, as Mr, C. certainly has, much public
injury He and Mr. Niles, have done more
than perhaps arty other two persons to dissemi
nate a delusion that many think came near pros
trating our whole fabrick. Their mistake was
in taking “ American Industry” to mean “ man
ufacturing industry,” and they kept up the pres
sure till they started the rivets of the Constitu
tion. But thanks to a kind Providence, opera
ting through the intelligence and patriotism of
an educated people,the weight is thrown off; and
the great regulating principle will work it steadi
ly hereafter, at least for a time. Mr. Niles
from the “ hopelessness” of rendering further
desired service to the cause, is deliberating, he
says, whether he will not follow Mr, Carey’s
lead. — Georgia Journal.
The Cherokee Case. —The National Gazelle
speaks ofthe Cherokee case, said to be in con
templation, as an “extremely doubtful story,”
which some apocryphal writer at Washington
(the “Spy in Washington,”) has put in circula
tion.” It also gives place to a communication
from a correspondent shewing that the fourth
and fifth sections of the enforcing bill, do not
“open the Cherokee case so as to enable the
question of title to thg Georgia Gold Minas to
be brought before the Supreme Court of the U.
S.” as alledged by the Washington letter wri
ter. The 4th section enables the Federal
Courts to proceed on affidavit, where copies of
the records of State Courts cannot he obtained
The sth section authorizes the President to em
ploy the means provided by the acts of 1795 and
1807, to suppress unlawful or forcible opposi
tion to the laws of the U. States. Neither of
these provisions touch the Cherokee case. The
Supreme Court refused to take cognizance of
the case, because the Cherokees wore not a
“foreign state,” within the meaning of the Con
stitution, and therefore could not be a parly in
Court; and it is almost needless to remark, that
the Judiciary Bill neither has changed, nor could
change this aspect of the case.
New Carmel. —Rumors of a change in the
Cab/uct have been rife for some time past.
, vVe confidently look for anew organization in
a few days, and we should not be surprised to
see the following, or something like it, as the
result;
Mr. Cns3 to retire—Mr. Dallas to take the
Navy Department—Mr. Woodbury the Treas
ury Department—Mr. M’Lane tha State De
partment —Mr. Barry to remain as at present —
Mr. Livingston to go* to France—Mr. Ste
venson to England—and Mr. Forsyth to as
sume the direction of tha Department of War.—

It is stated in an English paper, that ar. in; -
nious plan to alter the whole system of the?
gar trade, had been submitted to his majest <
ministers, and to the principal powers conn ■
ted with the Colonial trade in London; it
produced a great sensation. It is contcmpi; ;
that only one process should take place in
West Indies; that after the boiling of the ■-1
gar cane, the proceeds in a fluid state shr ll|
be shipped for England, to be manufactured j
there. By a patent taken out, the fluid, by >n; ]
process, is to be m nufactured into refined su-
I gars. The process of making muscovado su -
’ crar and distilling rum, would all be in England
I The person who has submitted this plan, hn
! taken a patent nff the refining by one pro. ess,,
! the fluid into lump Sugar, in I” ost oi 1 uro
; pean countries, and, we believe, tn America.
The plan, says the London New Price (. urrent,
w ill create a complete revolution in the suga
I trade. It is entertained by the ministers, nnc i
approved by the first houses in the West Indti-
Trade. — Augusta Constitutionalist

Government Deposits. —We understand tha
much talked of measure of withdrawing the go
’ ment deposits from the United States Bank
has at length been accomplished. What is
more remarkable, this has been done, not b>
the order of the President or Secretary of th<
Treasury, but by an order of Congress adop
ted by a very large majority of both Houses.
And this, notwithstanding the House of Repre
sentatives voted at just about the same time by
an equally large majority, that the deposits
might safely remain in the Bank. If any thing
can add to the remarkable character of this re
markable transaction, it is that no other place
| of deposit has been fixed upon, or is likely to
: he, and that in fact the very balances have dis
appeared altogether, having been paid to tho

•S'erwe Earthquake. —Captain L*-, of tin
schooner Cygnet, from St. Kitts, informs us
that an Earthquake occurred at that place on
’ the evening oi the oth nob. between which and
the 15th, about 50 violent shocks had taken
place. During its progress a great number ol
walls and stone buildings were demolished, and
deep excavations were left in various parts r •
the town. The grave-yards were torn up, and
a field of cane consisting of several acres, wa
sunk to the depth of five feet. The inhabi
tants, in their consternation, took refuge or.
board the shipping, all of which escarped unin
jured. No lives were lost, the dwellings having
been vacated upon the occurrence of the first
shock, which was too slight to occasion injury.
At Nevis, where the Earthquake was partially
felt, but little injury was done.

TO JOSEPH STHXCKLAND ESQ..
Dear levin Joe ,
VV ith pen in hand, though out of season*
lis rhyme I write, for want ol reason ;
For since I've been in this hero town,
Fse hardly time to turn around.
I spose you’se often times been told,
That tins here country’s made o’ gold :
And think that when you do come here,
To make your fortune mity clear :
But tak care, or you rnay be fool’d.
And get the yearth without ihcgould.
For when them Injuns was driv out,
They scattered all the gold about;
And buried it in the yearth so low,
You cannot grabble it out dear Joe*
But may be you would like to know.
What every"body does here Jos ;
As to this place, w’y what that be,
You cannot guess by jimminy,
If I says city, will that.go ?
For town nor borough wiil not do.
For this bangs nil the borough race,
And is indeed “all sorts a’ piece.”
Os given names it has its fill,
Once being Dean’s, now NuckoUsville?’
But some Folks they began to trown,
And called our city Scume-town;
W hen scholars corned with much array,
And christen’d it Auraria.
So I propose to end the ditty,
A purticr name for’t Ckuekluck Citif t
You’se been a trav’lin much I know,
And to Camp Meetin’s oft you go ;
Y ou see tne folks, you hear the spouting.
You sing the hymns, and join the shouting*
W ell, for the folks, the noise and eatin,
This hangs the great?*! of Camp’Meetin.
And its mere like it Joe by fur,
Than that me Camp iVlcctin arc.
But arc rot pestered with th - praying.
Ar,.j as for people, theytre so *: ick,
That you might stir them with a stick ;
I And every house you see wili p ■<■*.
To show you what may be within.
If people, we’ve of every hue,
►Some white, red, yalier, hack and bine :
Others w ith dirt, so covered well,
What color they, I could not tel!.
But when I see’d the jnne knot face,
i guess’d them was, the Steam-Boat race *
One on ’em swore, this was bia natur^
A real snapping Alligatur.
But then agin, we’ve clever fellows,
As Doctors, Lawyers, and Gold sellers;
The Doctors scace, the Lawyers plenty,
1 reckon we have nearly twenty.
And Merchants too to save each penny,
1 could not taunt them, they’re so many.
And last, not least, among the evils,
Here comes a posse of the devils ;
They say they bri rifl’d a press alony*
To typify aisJ retail song.
But must, sure we have enough.
Though i’ll admit’tis sorry stufl ;
And tho a truv’ler long i’ve been,
A place like this, I ne’er have seen,
Higglcty, pigglety, liarani, ncntoui 3
They keep up an eternal latum.
And fiddle it from momito niphtj
V. illi rustics, rxr- -s ndtet
And nxcs,hn.rtiftore, billiard balls;
