the patrons of religion in the upper part of
our State, the establishment of a depository
for Sunday school books and tracts, to which
we can resort more readily for a supply of
them, and keep up the energies of our pn
pits, than we .can by sending to a considera

them as soon as they are needed. From
this circumstance several have dropped off,
whom, we fear, it will be difficult to per
suade back. Tbe inconvenience does not
rest altogether with us. We suppose there
are some other schools that might be ad

be an effectual method by which many more

MOUNT ZION, MONDAY, MAY 16,1325.
It vill be recollected that the Presbytery of
jjjHotpewell at its late sessions, recommended to
’.ttipir ministers to assemble in as large numbers as
would justify, particularly on Sac-
Snmental occasions, and that the ancient custom
Os Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, as prepara
tory to an approach to the Lord’s Table should
> ;be revived. The recommendation carries in its
livery face an humble acknowledgement that the
state of religion is by no means what it should be
j,.in this branch of the Christian Church. The sen
j Nment which it conveys is something like this ;
jsyShd we will imagine it to be the language of some
Ringed minister whose locks are blossoming for the
IRriVe—-who standing upon the very threshold of
’SSternitj, is inspired with the recollection of past
blessings, and who feels a tender solicitude for
the generation that is immediately to succeed
shim. “ Brethren,” we will imagine him to say,
Y “ I have seen more prosperous days than these ;
‘•days in which the candle of the Lord shone bright
: iflground his church—when a holy fervour of soul
yraßinimaled the people of God—when their conver
sation, and prayers, and life, afforded evidence to
* pKll around them, that they were only pilgrims
‘.here insearchof a better country —when great
■’ searchings of heart, and inquiry at the Throne of
’ Grace, were felt to be necessary preparations for
j|a comfortable approach to the Sacramental
board—and when the ministrations of the sanctu
’ , ary were blest to the conversion of souls, and to
5?; the edification of the church in the most holy
H faith. But these days hare long since past, and
the blessing has fled with them- The crown has
fallen from our head —The gold has become dim
Sjmhd the moit,fine gold changed. We have forsa
ken the fountain of iiving waters. We have let
&sflown the standard of Christian piety. We have
©p>eea literally weary of the service which God
jUmequires, and have hurried from his presence.—
|We have abandoned the means which God for-
Tmerly blessed, and he lias sent leanness to our
Spools. Ah ! 1 can but weep when I remember
mZion. But let us inquire for the good old way.
.jfLet us return unto the Lord and he will return
gs unto us. Let us manifest onr deep and unfeigned
iff repentance by fasting, humiliation and prayer,
fmand if the vision tarry, let us wait for it in the use
■■l of the appointed means.” Such ‘.ve conceive is a
ij feeble representation of those sentiments which
■ the recommendation conveys. It is humbling,
Jfi bltt before honour corneth humility. As it im
* c plies a confession before God of past unfaithful
r roes*, by the collected representatives of that
fchurcli, and as ft contemplates an immediate re
'-turn to those means which have proved a blessing
7W other times, it may not be presumptuous to
. Sopk for a thorough reformation. How the
hurchesof that communion will generally re
ceive it we have yet to learn.
The Presbyterian Church in this place endeav
jfoured, on their late sacramental occasion,to com
',,ply with tbe recommendation of the Presbytery ;
‘and some visiting friends from a distance requesi-
I ®ed us, as they felt it good to be here, to state such
* facts in relation to the meeting as might encour
age others to go and do likewise. We can only
< say that the occasion was unusually solemn and
} interesting, (though perhaps not more so than
5 sister churches usually witness) and a favourable
Jr impression is made, not only on the church, but
Kon the minds of a number that attended. Five
£ Ministers were present, and the exercises com
roehced on Thursday evening with a very appro
anate and solemn discourse from Heb. ii. 3
IsHow shall we escape if we neglect so great sal
r ‘RKd ?” We would here remark that we can on
| jMate the order of exercises ; for we have nei
’ dWtjlirne nor ability to give any thing like a just
of the discourses which were delivered,
were requested. Friday was observed by
W as ad y fasting. A sermon was de
in the morning from Eccl. ix. 18—“ One
■-IMV destroy eth much good,” and in the after-
i. Peter, iv. 17, 18—“ For the time is
that judgement must begin in the housed
- cB and if it begin at us what shall the end be
.& m d, a t obey not the Gospel of God ? And
righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the
sßdlj & the sinner appear.” Friday night three
Ministers took a part iD the exercise*, and
v Beared to be more than usually engaged for the
Ipv-atioii of souls. On Saturday morning a praye:
■Keeling was held in the Church.
IT After which the Education Society met, and
, jj* annual sermon was preached from Ezekiel xiv
■jHfjjL.fc My sheep wandered through all the moun
Kv* tains, and upon every high hill: yea, my flocl
was scattered upon all the face of the earth, anc
IB none did search or seek after them.” In she af
W terpoon a sermon was delivered from Luke x. 4!
® One thing is needful.” ‘ At night three of She
Ministers again spoke from John xxi. 17—“ Simon,
son of Jonas, Invest thou me.” Sabbath morning
there was a prayer meeting again in the Cburch;
at 8 o'clock there was a sermon from Isaiah iii.
M), 11—“ Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be
well with him; for they shall eat the fruit of their
doings. Woe unto the wicked ! it shall be ill
with him; for the reward of his hands shall be giv
en him.” The action sermon was preached from
Psalm xxiv. 10—“ Who is this King of glory?
The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.” The
table was very solemnly guarded, and the nature
and design of tbe institution were shown with
in. re than ordinary fidelity. A large number as
sembled around the Sacramental board, and Je
sus was made known in the breaking of bread.
Sabbath afternoon, a sermon was delivered from
i. Kings xviii. 21—“ How long halt ye between
two opinions.” All the Ministers on Sabbath
night spoke from Jeremiah viii. 20—“ The harvest
past, the summer is ended, and we are not sav
ed.” This meeting was very interesting. It was
remarked at the close of the afternoon exercises,
that the people had attended long enough, and
punctually enough, if it was only done out of
a compliment to their Ministers. Yet if a num
ber would express themselves with any degree of
anxiety for the continuance of the meeting at
night, the Ministers would be ready to meet them.
An expression of their feelings was given, and an
unusual number attended. Monday morning a
farewell discourse was delivered from Hebrews ii.
1—“ Therefore we ought to give the more earnest
heed to the things which we have heard, lest at
any time we should let them slip”—in which some
thing like a summary of all the exercises of the
meeting were taken and applied. Through the
whole meeting a very considerable interest was
manifested, and it deepened to the close. How
long the impression will last, or how many will be
savingly benefitted by it, God only knows. This,
we learn, is the ancient manlier in which the
Presbyterian Church observed Sacramental occa
sions ; and from the effects of this meeting we
are not at all surprised that those who remember
them are peculiarly anxious that they should be
revived.

General Intelligence.
THE IMDIAjXS.
The Journal of last week furnishes the follow
ing statement relative to the murder of Gen. Mc-
Intosh :
“ The Coweta chief and Chilly Mclntosh were
both at the house of the General. The hostile
Indians surrounded it about two honrs before day,
set fire to it in several places, and waited the re
sult. Those within it were roused from their
sleep by the smoke, and Gen. Mclntosh came
out first. As soon as he made his appearance,
the enemy fired upon him, and he fell pierced by
about 40 bullets. Chilly seized the moment when
they were reloading, and fled. Etome Tustenng
gee next oame out and fell under the fire of the
enemy as Geu. Mclntosh had previously fallen.
They were both thrown back into the house and
burnt op with it. Chilly was pursied closely,
but reached the river, plunged into it, and dived
as far as he ConJd. As he rose to get breath the
enemy fired at him. He dived again, and finally
reached the opposite bank ur.hurt.
It was tbe determination of the hostile parly to
inurJer every one who signed the late treaty. H e
have not heard of their success in any other case
except that of Col. Hawkins. Tins chief has al
so fallen a victim to their cruelty. The others,
it is hoped have made their escape.”
The following additional particulars are from
the Macon Messenger of Wednesday last. They
are more in accordance with the information com
municated to us by a gentleman who has just pass
ed through the Nation, than any statement we
have seen, and are probably mainly correct :
We have endeavoured to collect a correct ac
count of the circumstances of ibis affair, from trav
ellers direct from Ft. Mitchell, ami gire the fol
lowing as the result of our enquiries ; part of Which
we obtained from Mr. Win. Bootwright, wlxi Was
present when the murder was committed : his
statement may be depended upon for its ascura
cy. On the 30th ult. at day break, a body of
about 200 Indians collected around the houses of
Gen. Mclntosh. He being in the second story
of his house, vras requested to come down, but
refused. The house was immediately set on fire,
and his family suffered to leave it. He snapped
his rifle at thtt Indians, which only flashed, when
he was instantly fired at by a large number, and
literally blown to pieces; fell down the itair
case, and was drawn out of the house. I Some
white men, who were travellers, lodged in moth
er building, and on taking the alarm, were iriform
ed by o white man, that no harm wap intended
them. Chilly Mclntosh, son of the and
a young Indian named Kennard, also occupied
the same room, but being dressed in citizens’
clothes, walked away without being recognized,
and escaped. They were, however, discovered
by a scouting party, and a number of balls firet at
them, one of which passed through the clothfsof
Mclntosh; but they escaped by swimming a cieek
and concealing tbemselve6 in the margin of the
Chattahoochy. Tomnie Tustenuggee, an old
Chief of the Coweta towns, who was also in the
same room, being in the Indian dress, Was iliot
witli a great number of balls, and killed. The
houses were plundered, set on fire, and the sfeves,
horses, cattle, &c. taken. The family wer4 also
nearly stripped of their clothing. The travelers
were suffered to depart without interruptioniwith
the loss of some articles taken with the plunder
Our informant supposes that there was upwartbof a
thousand Indians in the vicinity who were aiding
in (he murder. He remained at the place, and
assisted in burying Mclntosh and the other chief
after the Indians were gone. He supposes the
value of the plunder nearly forty thousand doltaie,
upwards of twenty thousand of which was inspe.

From the Maeon Messenger,
We have been favoured with the following
copy of a letter from Col. Crowell to his brother,
Capt. Henry Crowell, dated 6th May, 1&25.
“Str—Since the intelligence of tbt death of
Mfijptosh, the whole nation is in contusion—his
pWy has threatened the death of the Little
Prince and myself. So soon as the news got out,
the warriours poured in, in great numbers to pro
tect us, and seemed intent to pursae them and
put them to death, —but I have restrained them.
They will, however, guard my house every night
I cannot yet ascertain whether there is any dan
ger or not. JOHN CROWELL.”
The Messenger states that the Agency has been
removed from the Flint River, and that the resi
dence of the Agent is now at the Chatahoochie.
To the Editors of tht Recorder.
Gentlemen—l have this morning received a
letter from Col. John Crowell, Agent of the Creek
Nation, of which the following is an extract,
which you will please publish in your paper.
“ I wish you would be good fcnough to request
the editors of the Milledgeville papers to state in
their Bext papers, that 1 have been requested by
them (the chiefs) to say for the information of
travellers, that there is no earthly danger. The

Stale of Europe. —The writer of anew work
published in Europe, entitled “ Revue Politique
de L’Europe en 1825,” thus sums up his remarks:
France, without any fixed position, placed be
tween her ancient and her new regime, and yield
ing to her old prejudices; Italy wafting impatient
ly for the moment of throwing off hers ; the civil
ized portion of Spain reduced to silence and de
spair by that portion which remains in barbarism ;
Austria preserving the model of a happy state of
servitude ; Prussia ignorant how to reconcile her
political existence with her civil state; the Pola
nese spirit surviving Poland; Germany forever
busy with the rights of the people and the rights
of kings, discussing every thing, and determining
nothing; Russia instructing Europe in an Asiatic
obedience; Turkey crouching at length to the
acclamations of a civilized people; Greece rising
from her ruins, and resuming her rank among the
noblest nations; Sweden inarching with a wise
and steady rtep towards her new destinies ; Den
mark unmoved amidst the general turmoil and
confusion ; Belgium within a single step of being
the happiest State in Europe; Switzerland some
what disturbed in her liberties by her Catholick
population ; Ireland still more fanatick than she
is unhappy ; Portugal escaping from the yoke of
sovereigns; Rome persecuting philosophy where
ever she finds it, and enveloping Europe with her
secret armies; in fine, proud England, leaning
upon America, whose destiny she sanctions, glanc
ing from her ocean home at the agitations of Eu
rope, contemplating in safely the storms which
rage around her, and bolding in her hand the
power to give, at will, a direction to these agita
tions which must be fatal to tyranny. Such is
Europe at the beginning of the year 1825; she
will be no longer the same when the year shall
have revolved.

SMALL POX.
The alarm excited by the appearance of the
Small Pox in Monticello, appears to have given
rise to numerous ieports of its existence in other
places. Eatonton, Milledgeville and Saunders
ville, have been suddenly visited, according to
report, by this terrible disease, though the good
people of those places knew nothing of their dan
ger until informed of it from abroad ! I have just
received a letter from a gentleman in Poweltob,
only ten miles distant, communicating the alarm
ing information (hat the small pox existed here,
and recommending the most prompt and effectual
measures to circumscribe the contagion. The
name of the unfortunate subject of the disease
was even mentioned, as well as tbe time and place
of his contracting the infection. Now all this is
news here ; for, so far from having a case of small
pox among us, little or no apprehension has been
entertained respecting it. If any alarm were ex
cited when the fact of its existence in Monticello
was first ascertained, it has now entirely subsided.
It is proper, however, to guard against a dis
ease so contagions and formidable, especially
when near us. And as Vaccination has proved
an effectual agent in checking the ravages of the
Small Pox, I would earnestly recommend to all
who have not availed themselves of this safeguard,
to do so immediately. Having procured some of
the genuine matter, I will vaccinate any person
who may call on me, without charge.
