of shame will not mantle the cheeks of those wi-e phi

brothers, sons of the same Sire, to prevent the comple

Milledgeville, June 2d, 1838.
To his Excellency G. 11. Gilmer:
Sir :—flavin? just arrived from the scene
o ’ < p r tons in th Che.okee count; y, I avail
myself of the honor of communicating to
vour Excellency, the movements of my Chief
Gen. Scott, within tiie limits of Georgia. Up
on the 24th lilt., he placed the Georgia Yol
’intcers under the command of Gen. Floyd
in position; and on the 25th commenced ope
rations. Gen. Floyd, in person, commanded
tiie first detachment that operated. The
promptness and ability of his movement, gave
to the commanding General the highest satis
faction, while it presented to the balance of the
command, the most salutary example.
The number of prisoners on Tuesday last
was about three thousand ; and by this time.
1 do not think there is a wandering Indian in
the C icrokee country, within the limits < f
Georgia. The captures were made with the
utmost kindness and humanity, and free from
every stain of violence.
The deportment of our Georgia citizens
resident in the Cherokee Counties, has been
marked with a forbearance and kindness to
wards the Indians, that must win for them the
admiration of every philanthropist. Permit
me to conclude with the congratulation of our
rights being so promptly and peacefully se
cured.

SEMINOLE INDIANS.
The following is extracted from a letter re
ceived by us from a highly respectable gentle
man of Ware county, dated the 4th inst. The
bearer of it, we learn, brought an express from
the Colonel of the county to the Governor,
covering, in substance, the same information,
with a request for the necessary protection of
our Florida frontier:
“A considerable body of Indians have left
Florida, and have taken up their residence in
die swamps of ware. They are. supposed to
number about otto hundred warriors. We
have bad two battles with them—on the 27th
and 28th of May. Our citizens about the
Florida line gave them battle, but without sue
•ess. The whites had two wounded, and the
Indians still remain in the swamps. Our citi
zens arc leaving their homes daily, not know
ng at what moment they may lx: butchered by
he savages. When we lav down at night
ve don’t know that we shall see day. It is
ny opinion it will be almost impossible to drive
hem from these deep & impenetrable swamps.
We ait) aiming to give them a trial in a few
days.” Federal Union.
ANOTHER STEAM BOAT OUTRAGE!
The Steam Boat Telegraph, fired, into, ly a ho
tly o f armed men at Lrockville.
We fear that a crisis is approaching whicji
will throw our frontiers into tiie whirpool of'
trifo; Or it is impossible that outrages so
glaring as those continually being perpetrated
on the lakes, can long lie tamely borne by ei
ther nation. The destruction of the Caroline,
alone, was sufficient to have endangered the
trauquility of the two countries; and nothing
but mutual forbearance could have subdued
the fearful storm, which gathered beneath the
smoke of Sir Robert Fee!; but we know not
whether any thing but the interposition of Di
vine Providence, can keep tiie sword sheathed,
now that another outrage has been perpetra
ted by indiscreet—if not wilfully malicious
| men.
The facts of this last act, as we gather them
f.om the Captain of the Telegraph, are sub
stantiallv as follows:
Tne Telegraph left Oswego at 6 o’clock on
S iturday evening—touched at Prescott as usu
al—and reached Brockville about 9. lit re
she landed at the lower dock—took on board
and left a number of passengers—received the
visit and insults of an unarmed mob, who ran
sacked the cabins and otherwise evinced a tur
bulent disposition—and was moving passed
die upper wharf, when she was hailed, and
commanded to “come to.” 'The Captain sup
posing there were passengers in waiting, stop
ted the engine, and dropped down to within
20 feet of the dock, but, apprehensive that all
was not right, he told the passengers to come
or board in the small boat. But this would
not satisfy the crowd who insisted upon the
boat’s coming up to the dock.
After a few words had passed, the Captain
pre emptorily refused to land, set the engine
in motion, and moved off. Immediately upon
j this, and while the boat was within a few feet
!of the wharf, about 20 muskets were fired, and
!FOUR OF THE BALLS ENTERED
THE LADIES’ CABIN ! One passed with
in a tew inches of t .e cbamberniuid, and two
struck very near the Captain.
It is said that the men who fired the guns
were the guard called out by the public author
ities. If so, the outrage is ten fold more ag
gravated, and may lead to ten fold more seri
ous consequences. If the perpetrators are
demanded by our government, they will not
of course be delivered up. In that case, our
government cannot, consistently with it* dig
litv. give up the wretches who destroyed the
Sir Robert Peel, and thus a collision may be
made inevitable.
******
The fact, however, that she was fired into
the lives of those on board endangered, and an
nsult ofi’eied to the American Flag, is enougi
o alarm every one for the consequences.
Something efficient must be done to prevent r
repetition of these outrages, or (and it is folly
o disguise it) war will ensue*
IMPORTANT FROM CANADA.
Bv the Northern mail of last evening, we
have Montreal papers to the 6th, and Quebec
of the 4th. Tne greatest excitement prevails.
Sir Johon Colborne arrived in Montreal on
Tuesday, with several horses of the army, and
’eft immediately for Upper Canada. The
Herald says; “His Excellency will inspect
Fort Henry and give the necessary orders for
erecting fortifications aiong the frontier, in
ease of a general tear, now becoming more
probable every day."
The Earl of Durham has issued a proclama
tion offering a reward of a thousand pounds
for the apprehension of any individual con
nected with the recent outrage on the Sir Rob
ert Peel, and exhorts her majesty’s subjects.
“ notwithstanding the aggravated, provocation
they have received, carefully to abstain from
anv act of retaliation, which may expose them
to tiie imputation of a disregard ot their own
honor, by a violation of the internal rights of
adjoining powers.” Sir George Arthur has
also issued a proclamation of a similar char
acter, but containing less conciliatory language.
He charges the outrage upon citizens of the
United States, and insists that redress should
lie immediately demanded of our Govern
ment. The 85th regiment, and the three re
maining companies of the 54, together with
the detatchment just arrived to join that regi
ment, received orders for Upper Canada.—
The Coldstrem Guards were expected tg set
off immediately.
Troops are to be stationed at the points j
which are most exposed along the frontier,
and large re-inforceinents are ordered into the J
Upper Province from Quebec, to garrison the
fortifications.
