The extinguishment of the Indian Claims to
lands within the chartered limits of this State,
having become a subject of deep interest to our
citizens, we have devoted a considerable portion
of this paper to the Message of the President to
Congress and the accompanying documents, rel-1
ative to these claims. We shall next week pub
lish the Address of the Cherokee Delegation to
the President, the reply of the Secretary of War
thereto, and the letter of Gov. Troup to the War
Department, when the views of the Cherokees,
and of the Executive of the United States and of
Georgia, on the point in controversy, will be
fully before our readers.
MILITARY COLONIES.
The gigantick power of Russia is likely to be
come more and more a source of jealousy and un
easiness to the continental states of Europe, and
the period may not be far distant,, when Austria,
Prussia & France will be compelled to form anew
league against the designs of this collosal empire,
whose .nonarch, notwithstanding his. ~aci(ick
declarations, seems disposed to adopt every plan
which can possibly tend to increase his mean
both for offensive and defensive operations. From
a recent work on Russia, by Dr. Lyall, the fol
lowing facts are collected relative to anew and
extensive scheme devised by Alexander to keep
on foot an immense army without bringing any
expense upon bis treasury.
The Emperour Alexander has conceived the
project of founding'military colonies, or rather
casts, in different parts of his empire. There ali
the male children will be born soldiers; they will
pass into the rolls at the age of fifteen, and there
remain until sixty. On becoming soldiers, accor
ding to the Muscovite law, they oease to be
slaves: and thus the military state, which is con
sidered amongst other people as a state of servi
tude, offers to them the double advantage of af
franchisement and glory.
The monarch takes from the domains of the
crown, such lands as are necessary for the estab
lishment and subsistence of the colonized regi
nienls, and in return, the warriours are requned
to keep themselves, as well a their horses, when
they are not ordered for expeditions out of their
own country. In this manner, whole armies wil!
be kept on foot in time of peace, without bringing
any expense upon the national treasury. Their
pay begins only when they are called out of their
respective colonies, and will be in proportion to
the habits of anew people, without wants or lux
ury. These military communities, where all,
without exception, bear arms, will be kept in
constant exercise, and will preserve their military
spirit, like those on the military stations of the
Roman empire, during the periods of their great
est conquests. [itcrae Encyc.
The military villages are laid out with regular
ity in farms of about forty English acres, and each
contains two bouses, one for the Master-Colonist,
and the other for the Reserve. The Master-Colo
nist is a peasant above (il'ijryenrs of oge, who re
ceives his land and house on condition of furnish
ing a soldier a horse, if it be a col my of cavalry,
arid the soldier’s family if he have one. The
soldier is to live with him, and while off duty,
(which usually calls him away at least three days
in the week) to assist him in cultivating his
ground. At the end of 25 years, or 20, if he be a
Pole, the soldier is released from service, or pla
ced on the invalid list for garrison duty, as he
shall choose. The Reserve is to be the succes
sor of the Master-Colonist, selected by him usual
ly from Lis family ; anil though he also is bred to
the use of arms and the customs of a camp, and
expected to till the land in case of necessity, is
usually employed in some handicraft. Matrimo
ny is encouraged ; but women within the military
pale are not allowed to marry out of it. The
children from eight to thirteen years of age, ar£
sent every other day to schools of mutual instruc
tion in their native villages. They learn also to
ride, to use the sabre, and to repeat a military
catechism ; and at thirteen are removed to the
village where the colonel of the regiment keeps
his head-quarters, to complete their education.
Here they are formed into corps, and the must
promising are made officers. The education
of the women has been neglected ; but Lanoas
terian schools for them also have begun to be es
tablished.
The total number of colonized forces, in 1822,
is stated at 43,000. Each military district is un
der the command of an officer, from whom Ihere
is no appeal except to the Emperour ; and all the
concerns of the colonies are managed on a mili
tary system. At the head quarters of each regi
ment is its chancery, where the code of laws is de
posited and a strict police is established, which
scmtinizes every individual. It i said that all
the army except the guards, are to be colonized ;
beside which, the crown peasanls may furnish a
colonized army of a million of men, always on
foot and ready for service, without the expense of
a single ruble to the government. The nursery,
thus formed of Master-Colonists, Reserves and
boys, is calculated to perpetuate this overwhelm
ing force.
The Tariff.— The votes which have been taken
nn the different items of the Tariff Bill make it
extremely doubtful whether it will pass the House
in any shape. At all events it will be divested of
some of its most odious features.
The Bill to abolish imprisonment for debt, has
passed to a third reading in the Senate, by a ma
jority of one vote. *
The Boat Red Bird passed up the Ocmnlgee a
few days since to Tompkins* Ferry, which is sev
eral miles above this place. ‘She there took in a
quantity of Cotton, and returned without experi
encing any accident or difficulty. The river at
that time was a little above its ordinary height.
It has generally been supposed that our river was
not navigable higher than this place, but we have
learned from people well acquainted with it, that
the shoals and obstructions can be easily removed,
by which boats of considerable burthen could go
much higher up than has yet been attempted. We
also believe that it might, without more labour and
expense than has been bestowed on other rivers
in the state, be made boatable, by means of a few
locks, to its junction with the Alcovahatchie.
That our citizens and those living in the vicinity
of the river above this place, will not be unmind
ful of the advantages of such improvements, we
have no doubt: We are more than ever confirm
ed in the opinion that the tow nos Macon will, in
a very few years answer every thing that has
been anticipated of it. — Oto. Mess. April 21.

The following letter was yesterday received at
the General Post Office, from the Postmaster at
Nashville:
Nashville, March 22.
Sir —The Georgia Mai), due to-day, I am sorry
to inform you, is lost. The rider arrived in due
time, and states, that, in crossing Connesauga
river, in the Cherokee Nation, the ferry-boat was
beat down by the current, and the horse and mail
knocked overboard by the tree limbs. The straps
being broken by the limbs, the mail sunk before it
| could be recovered. The river, he says, was re
markably high, and he thinks the mail may be
! found when the water falls.
He imputes this accident entirely to the igno
rance of the Indians who keep the ferry, who
had no oars to their boat, and attempted to bring
it over with poles, as at low water ; the conse
quence was, that when they got into the current,
their poles would not reach bottom, and the boat
was precipitated down the stream.
I have the honour to be, sir, respectfully, your
most obedient servant,

Extract of a Letter from a highly respectable gen
tleman, dated ‘inowhill, Mi. March 22, 1824.
A most shocking circumstance occurred near
this place, last week. An attempt was made by
three ruffian slaves to kidnap one of their own
colour • which slaves, it appears, were concerned
with oneJacob Purnell, a coloured man of most
inlamous character, notorious for every vice
which mail can be guilty of, and who had been
engaged a iong time in the nefarious business of
kidnapping. By some means, the object of their
pursuit, aware of the intentions of his pursuers,
was attempting his escape, when he was inhuman
ly murdered by repeated blows while running.
I he villains were immediately arrested, and have
made a confession of the whole circumstance.
Purnell being then pursued by the inhabitants to
a place from whence he could not retreat, cut his
throat from ear to ear, and instantly expired
Thus terminated the life of Jacob Purnell, a black
man, known only for his innumerable atrocious
crimes He was concerned in kidnapping, a
number of years, with the celebrated Johnson,
who resided near the line of Delaware, and, no
doubt, has been instrumental in stealing hundreds
of negroes, many of them free, who were then
doomed to perpetual slavery.
The total of the black and mulatto population
in all the West India islands, is one million six
hundred thousand—The total of the whites, in
tlie same, is four hundred and fifty thousand.
A white man who has resided among the Indi
ans for about forty years, lia recently repaired to
Detroit to endeavour to ascertain his friends, and
be restored to them. He was so young when ta
ken prisoner by the Indians, iliat he has no dis
tinct recollection of the place where his family
dwelt; but from the description he gives, it is be
lieved to have been somewhere on the Kentucky
River. Ilis name, also, is a matter of doubt, but
he thinks it is John Johnson. He wasplaying
with a bow and arrows at no great distance from
his father’s house, when he was surrounded by six
Pottowatomies, led by a chief, who had planned
the expedition with a view of making prisoner of
some child, to supply the place of a son he had
recently’ lost. He lived with the Indians forty
years, ami now hopes by the aid of his indistinct
reminiscences to discover his family.

Excellent. —Mr. Tod, the author and champion
of the Tariff Bill, lately declared in the apparent
ly never-to-be-conclnded discussion of that bill,
that he considered himself in the situation of the
man in the front of the Almanack—attacked on
all sides. As Mr. T. has appropriated to himself
this honourable position, the ingenious editor of
the Charleston Courier confirms his title to it, by
the following reference to the various parts of the
picture—“ Mr. Tod will be found to have a ram
over his head, threatening him for his hostility to
the golden tleece of the country ; under his feet
are the fslies, showing Ids enmity to commerce;
on his right shoulder are the twins, commerce and
agriculture, deprecating his success; the crab is
in the direction of his heart, advising him to re
cede ; the lion on the other side, daring him to
advance; justice with her scales, shewing that he
has been weighed and found wanting ; the virgin
with lifted arms, protesting against the vices of
manufacturers; the archer pointing at him the
arrow of TF.hr.; the scorpion essaying his remorse
less stings; the tcalennan looking with distress at
his war on commerce ; and John Bull laughing in
his sleeve at the naked manufacturer, to whom
the goal appears in the attitude of obeisance. As
Mr. Tod has so happily hit himself off, we cannot
but circulate the portrait.”

We understand, says the National Advocate,

Kenan was arrested, was the author of an anon

Anew Custom-House Officer. —Asa fellow
living near Louisville was returning from Canada,
one day last week, with a keg of smuggled rum
in a bag thrown over bis hack, it was seized by i
a Panther, while passing through a small piece |
of woods, and had it not been that a dog was in ‘
company with the smuggler, it is supposed that a
mere seizure of goods and chattels, would not
have satisfied his Panthership , but that the body
would have been taken also, and conveyed, Ice. ,
The fellow, however, although prodigiously
frightened, escaped with a whole skin, sustaining
no other damage than having his bag torn.

[The above note we give to our readers just as i
it came to us, it being apparently intended for the !
use of those whom the cap fits. The reflection !
on the unpleasantness of hanging seems to come j
from the bottom of the heart; and we are as well i
persuaded, as the writer seems to be, that he who ;
has been enre hung, will have no desire to be j
hung again. Seriously, however, those Post mas- i
ters who perform the good office of drying and re- j

for conduct very different, we fear, from that
which is practised at too many of our post offices.

Riot at Yale College, —We understand that
symptoms of “ oppugnation” have lately appear
ed among the students of this institution. Ail at
tempt it is said was made to blow up a college,which
luckily for all parties failed, The selection of a
tutor from a class which had just graduated and
placing him over his former fellows, is stated to
have been one of the causes leading to the distur
bance. Insuborcination in our colleges end uni
versities is frequently mentioned by foreign trav
ellers as a discreditable national characteristic!:,
but nothing will more surely lead to it than
placing a very young man in the responsible situ
ation of guardian and instructor. The personal
character of the present head of this college
would, we should imagine, secure implicit obedi
ence and respect from every student.

A singular circumstance occurred a few days
since, at the Masonick Hall, Chesnnt Street, which
has been related to us, as follows:—A French la
dy, in company with a number of other persons,
was viewing with intense interest, the counte
nance of Cain, painted by the celebrated David ,
when suddenly she gave a piercing shriek and
fell senseless in the arms of her companions. Ou
her recovery, she explained the cause of her agi
tation, by stating that the terrifick and appalling
feeling displayed in the countenance of Cain,
brought so forcibly to her recollection a similar
display by a member of the revolutionary com
mittee before whom herself and parents were
brought during a period of the French revolution,
that nature could not support the recollection so
powerfully renewed.
A man in England wishing to know if an old
gun was loaded, asked his friend to hold a lighted
candle to the touch-hole, while he blew down the
muzzle. He did so, and while he was blowing
down, the load was discharged, and blew out his
brains—[of which he must have possessed a “ plen
tiful lack.”]
From the N. York Advocate.
Some time ago the house of a captain of a ves
sel who resides in the Bowery, was robbed, and a
note left on the mantelpiece, running thus :
“ I’he Devil’s compliments to the captain ;
and he has only taken at this time, a jug of bran
dy, a pair of candlesticks, &c. but at his next vis
it he will take the captain himself.”
It seems from the complaint of a lady yester
day to the Police, that the house has again been
robbed. The Devil alluded tu had called ac
cording to promise, but as the captain was at sea,
he consoled himself by carrying away a trunk,
containing about seventy dollars in money, seve
ral valuable dresses, silver spoons, Sic. The of
ficers of the police have gone in search of his Sa
tanick Majesty, and as we think they are a match
for him, he will soon change his quarters to a more
cool situation on the borders of the North River.
We expect he will return all the articles except
the jug of brandy.

The Fleydell of Guy Mannering was a Mr.
Crosbie, a lawyer, who flourished for many years
at the head of the Scottish bas, and was well
known for his integrity and abilities as a counsel,
about the period referred to in the Novel. The
celebrated Lord Gardenstone once performed on
Mr. Crosbie a practical joke of a very humourous
nature. This gentleman in the course of a walk
from Morganside, where he resided, met a rustick
going to Edinburgh, in order to hear his cause
plead that forenoon, in which Mr. Crosbie had
been retained as counsel The facetious senator
directed the man to procure a dozen or two of
farthings, wrap them up separately in a white pa
per under the disguise 4f guineas, and to present
them as occasion served, in the capacity of fees.
Mr. C’s. heart not happening to be particularly in
the case, he frequently flagged in his eloquence,
to the imminent danger of being non-suited. Hie
treacherous client, however, kept close behind
his back, and ever and anon, as he perceived him
bringing his voice to a cadence for the purpose of
closing the argument, slipped a disguised farthing
into his hand. The repeated application of this
silent encouragement, so far stimulated Mr. C.
in his exertions, that he strained every nerve bis
soul possessed, in grateful zeal for the interest of
his client, and at the fourteenth farthing he gain
ed the cause. The denouement of the conspiracy
which took place immediately after in John’s cof
fee house, overa bottle qf wine, with which Mr.
Crosbie had treated Lord Gardenstone with the
profits of bis pleading, can only be imagined.
