affords a most flattering* picture fit’ the pro gress tve have made towards the summit ol national power, and wealth and gran deur. Upon this point our mind is lost in astonishment. The President has said all that it is necessary to say ; and we will con clude these hasty arid imperfect remarks, with the inquiries of the Edinburgh Re view—•t Where is this prodigious increase ot numbers, this vast extent of dominion, to end ? What bounds has nature set to the progress of this mighty nation ?” THE MISSIONARY. MOUN'I ZION, FRIDAY, MARCH 30, 1821. Considerable solicitude has been felt and expressed, for some time past, in relation to the fate of the treaty recently negotiated with the chiefs of the Creek Nation. This treaty has final ly received the ratification of the Senate of the U. States, and will soon put the State of Georgia in possession of a large, and, it is believed, a val uable territory over which the Indian claim has hitherto remained unextinguished. Inasmuch a9 1 rliis section of country acquired by the treaty lies within the geographical limits of our state, and as the natives are to receive a fair equivalent for their land, we can cordially unite in the general satis faction which is manifested on this occasion. It is pleasant to see the arts of civilization and the blessing- of social lile, making'their way into the recesses of the western wilderness, especially when their progress is not attended with the ex termination of the original and rightful owners of the soil. But a still more charming scene is pie sented to the eye when our red brethren are indu ced by the example and instruction of the whites, to abandon the implements of the chase and of savage warfare, and to devote themselves to the cultivation of the soil, and to the formation of in tellectual and virtuous habits It is certainly a question which addresses itself with power and pungency to the bosoms of freemen and of Chris tians, how far we are bound to impart the rich blessings of civilization and the richer blessings of Christianity to the heathen who live upon our borders, and whose empire is every year dimin ishing by the rapid extension of our own settle ments. Some of the Creeks are now in the habit of sending their children into the state of Georgia for education, and, no doubt, a little attention from our citizens might induce many more to im itate their example ; and the natural operation of this measure would be to prepare the way for the ulterior and decisive step for their redemption from the sins and degradation and wretchedness of savage life—the establishmtnf of schools and missions among them. To raise them to the en joyment of rational and enlightened freedom, and to plant within their wild domains the institutions of the Christian religion, would entwine around our brow a more verdant wreath than all our ac quisitions by treat y, and all our victories in war. The territory necessary for their settlement would be but small, and as a part of the great human family they a>e entitled to as much as may be requisite fer this purpose. The Christian who believes in the ultimate triumph of the Son of God over all the nations of the earth, however intellec tually or morally debased, will derive much comfort from (he anticipation of a speedy dawn of that day when the light of science and of piety will shine upon the dark regions of the West. The disposition of the land acquired by the late treaty, involves a question highly important to the State of Georgia. An extra session of the Legis lature has already been called far the purpose of settling this question. We are not in the habit of interfering with political affairs—and have never chained ourselves to the car of any leader, or linked our destiny with any party. To be honest and independent, and at the same time to sup port those schemes with which are entwined the intelligence, and prosperity, and honour of the “date, have ever beer, our aim. The great ques tion now to be settled by our representatives, is, /whether this land shall he disposed of, as several former purchases have been, by Lottery, or whether it shall be sold, say on moderate terms, and the avails appropriated to the benefit of the State. The Lottery will probably be the popular side of the question, though an effort will, no douht, be made in favour of a sale. It is our opin ion that the question deserves a full discussion.— It is vital!’ important, that so large an amount of property should receive a judicious direction.— Future, generations will reap the rewards either of our wisdom or folly in (his transaction. It is by no means our intention, as Editors of the Missionary, to enter largely into ttii discus sion. Believing that much may he said on both sides of the question, we are willing to open our paper for any we!! written and judicious pieces which may tend to diffuse light, and to bring the puhlick mind to a proper decision. Argument , \ and not passion, however, must form the basis of these productions. The party spleen and per sonal recriminations which arc, by too manv, deemed the prime ingredients of newspaper con troversy, are repugnant to our own feelings, and incompatible with the character of our paper. Bet ter that the pages of our weekly journals should he left blank, than that they should be filled with materials ijbich serve as additional fuel for that fire which is already too intense, and which not ■ infrequently consumes every principle of charity and brotherhood in its progress. In favour of a Lottery it will piohably he urged, that the treasury of the state is rich, and that there can he no pressing demand for an augmentation of its funds ; that this disposition of the land is liberal, especially to the pjor, who hy the ope rations of chance or the direction of Providence, may obtain a comfortable establishment which the condition of their finances would not enable I hern to purchase ; and that repeated precedents lender the measure necessary as an act of justice. Its advocates will lay their principal stress upon this last consideration. The appeal is certainly a natural and forcible one. The argument drawn from this source is plausible, if nol solid. A vast number of adventurers have been successful in former lotteries j ami to discontinue the opera- jtionof this while there is lurid yet to be j | disposed of,would appear to bear hard upon those J i citizens who have been unsuccessful in all their former draws. But we shall not urge or illustfate these points at large. We shall barely glance at the opposite side of the question. Those who stand forth as the ad vocates of a sale of this lan if, may urge that this measure is a species of legislative gambling which ought not to receive the sanction of an enlighten ed and virtuous state ; that the poor may find a remedy for their indigence atid a spur to their en terprise in the moderate price and the liberal terms on which they may be permitted to pur chase;—that one inexpedient measure cannot justify another though it comes clothed in all the authority of precedent; and that however the state treasury be filled even to overllowing, that our internal improvements have large demands which still remain uncancelled. They will point us W> publick roads which lead directly to the great marts of our slate, and which are at certain seasons of the year almost impassable;—to toll bridges which endanger the neck of that mortal who has the temerity to cross them ; —to deep ! and wide water-courses which have no bridges at all, and upon the banks of which the way-faring man who shall happen to arrive after a recent shower,may pause and let his “ patience have her perfect work,” till the swollen current has the! goodness to pass by ; —to causeways which not un frequently swallow horses alive, and leave the rider or driver to extricate himself in the best way lie can from that gulf which would soon be come bis muddy grave ; —to large and majestick rivers which might be rendered navigable for the transportation of most of the produce of our state, if the efforts of art Were f npt-radded to the work of nature; —and to a multitude of academies’ which are abandoned hy teachers and pupils, or to others whose materials are crumbling to their foundations for the want of publick patronage. They will tell us that more than half of the coun ties in the state, have no institutions of learning worthy the name ; —ami with a tone which these men are capable of feeling and expressing, they will ask us whether this be the time to set up for a publick Raffle a tract of land containing five millions of acres, and worth at least, fire mil lions of dollars, til! we have discharged the debt which we We to our honour and happiness as a state. ‘1 hey will call upon our legislators in the firm tones of justice, and in the softer tones of en treaty, not to put it in the power of the most cen ! sorious to assert that they are governed in this j great transaction hy a regard to popularity—or | that it is easier to make any amount of money by becoming a “ hewer of wood, or a drawer of wa : ter,” than to obtain an appropriation of a similar J amount in our wealthy state for internal and pub ’ lick improvements. Those who are on this side of the question will not be able to discern any injustice in the dis ! continuance of the lottery system at the present ! moment. Those who have not been successful in i the former draws have stood on equal ground . with others ; and it is not the fault of the Legisla ! tnre that they are not now in possession of a tract jof land. After all jthe lands which may be ac quired from the natives shall be distributed by lot tery, there will be many who have not drawn a tract—and hoiv are their claims to be quieted ? On the principles of a lottery, a man who has drawn a blank is no more entltied to a second chance than one who has drawn a prize. But we shall put an end to these speculations on both sides of the great question ; and invite the publick to express their opinion. Liberal inquiry is most likely to conduct to the best results. Few persons alive in the state of Georgia, have ever known as cold and backward a spring as the present. On the morning of the 9th of the pre sent month in some parts of the low country where snow i not common during any- part of the winter, it fell so as to cover the gr®und, and in some places it is said to have been two inches deep. The orange trees were then in full bloom. On the morning of the 27th in this place, ice was seen more than half an inch thick ; it continued to freeze in the shade till Bor 9 o’clock. Earlv wheat in some places has bepn cut down—the peaches are, no doubt, all killed, and probably most of the fruit except it may be a few late apples. It is rather remarkable, that this is the second year which has proved fatal to fruit ‘ throughout the greater part of this state. 1 Jar.*. laMBM IIT Will ■■ Foreign and Domestiek Intelligence.

That is an office of high re sponsibility, and of arduous duties. Man thieves and smugglers have usually found means to con vey (heir cargoes into the United States, by means of the Floridas. We have no doubt that this de testable traffick will now be broken up. Gen. Jackson is one of those high and decided char acters, that will not suffer his authority with im punity to he contemned and disregarded. He holds an o/fice not for the purpose of show, of os tentation, or of salary : he has been familiar with publick business, and he has adorned every sta tion to which he has been appointed. We-shall behold in his administration, an energy that will grapple with and subdue every confronting diffi culty-living or dying he will still he Jackson. He has in times of great danger impressed his own character upon that of his country. [Balt. Mom. Ch ron.

Fie passed through | this place some time last winter, and then said i that he was a Methodist preacher; from this place he directed his course to Darien, and that por-! j tion of country included in the Ohoopie Circuit. ’ He passed himself there as a Methodist preacher. ! He has recently returned to this city and preach ; ed, and it is understood that he wished a collec tion to be made in his favour. Said Williams is i destitute of credentials,*and it is believed does not I belong to any Church, and we trust that the j friends of religion will have sufficient regard for ! she honour and discipline of the Church of Christ to discountenance him. It appears on enquiry, that the report of the ! United States’ Frigate Congress being left at one j of the West India ports, to sail in two days for ‘ the United States, is a mistake, arising, as it is | said, from a merchant ship of that name being : mistaken for the frigate. The Congress, howev- \ er, has been absent on a cruize in the Southern 1 Ocean and Chinese Seas nearly two years, and the report was therefore not without probability to sustain it. We believe it is six months since ally direct information has been received from the Congress.— Nat. Ini.

Louisville, Feb. 14. On Thursday, the Bth inst. a riot took place between a party of about 30 Kentuckians and the citizen? of New Albany, Indiana. The form er were endeavouring to bring off a negro fellow who was defended by the t latter. Several per sons were wounded in the affray, but none mor- , tally. We regret to hear of such occurrences hetween the citizens of two states so closely allied by interest, and whose political and national feelings should be the same. On the one hand, the rights of the people of this state should be respected; on the other the civil authority of our sister state should not be violated, or her jndicia- j ry and her laws, as well as the feelings of the re- j | spectable part of her citizens disregarded. We ! , have not heard the facts connected with this rep rehensible occurrence, and are therefore unable to : say which of the parties is the most blameable. i At all events it is an individual and not a state affair.

The first occupants of the territory were the Spaniards ; ‘ hut they were frequently expelled hy French and other adventurers. In 1763 it was ceded to Eng- ‘ land, in exchange for Cuba, which, with Yankee ‘ aid, she captured in the preceding war. During ( the American wjr the Spaniards repossessed them selves of a part of the Country, and at the peace ( of 1783, it was ceded to Spain.

In noticing the unerring skill of the gra zier, [or Keboor] colonist with his inu-ket, the I writer of the article relates the following little i narrative ; the hero of which was a person of the i name o! Van Wyk ; and the story of his 11 peri ; lous and fearful shot” is given in his own words : i “It is now [said he] more than two years, in I the very place where we stand, I ventured to j take one of the most daring shots that ever was | hazarded. My wife was sitting within tiie house, | near the door ; the children were playing about I her ; and I was without, near the house, busied ] ’ in doing something to a wagon, when suddenly, i though it was mid-day, an enormous lion appear j ed, came up, and laid himself quietly down in j the shade, upon the the threshold of the door. ‘ My wife, cither frozen with fear, or aware of the danger attending any attempt to fly, remained j motionless in her place, while the children took , refuge in her lap. The cry they uttered attrac i ted my attention, and I hasteued towards the i door ; but my astonishment may well be conceiv- j j ed, when I found the entrance to it barred in such J ! a way. Although the animal had not seen me, j ! unarmed as I was, escape seemed impossible ; j yet I glided gently, scarcely knowing what 11 meant to do, to the side of the house, up to the | window of my chamber, where I knew my loaded gun was standing. By a most happy chance I i had set it in a corner close by the window, so that I could reach it with my hand ; the opening being too small to admit of my having got in, and still j more fortunately, the door of the room was open j so that I could see the whole danger of the scene. I ‘Fhe lion was beginning to move, perhaps with | the intention of making a spring. There was no j l longer any time to think : I called softly to the j j mother not to be alarmed, and invoking the name j l of the Lord, fired my piece.

The Provinces of 1 j Florida having now become a part of the territory , | of the LTiited States, it is believed that the tide of . j emigration will set rapidly towards hershores, jn . j creasing her wealth, and filling her ports with our 1 i enterprising and industrious fellow citizens of the | old states, and offering a home and a refuge to the ! exile and the fugitive from the oppression of Eu { ropean thraldom. Favoured by nature with a j fruitful soil—abounding iq articles of luxury and j commerce, and blessed wi'h a climate more con genial to the constitution of the stranger and so- Ijourner than the southern states, this section cf ■ our country must become great and powerful, and in time rival its neighbours in Agriculture, Com i merce and in Arts. With these impressions, and I under the belief that a well conducted Press is one of the most powerful auxiliaries, not only to morality and leligion, blit in promoting the wel fare of any particular section of country, the sub scribers propose to publish in the city of St, Au -1 gnstine, a Newspaper, under the above title, j The Editors of the G uzetfe do not wish to make ’ promises, or to raise expectations which may never be realized.
