Not long since we had the melancholy op
portunity of witnessing the distress prevail
ing among the Creek Indians, which we have
heretofore noticed in our paper, on informa
tion derived from others. A considerable
part of that tribe is literally in a starving con
dition. Government could now succeed in
sending olfa large part of them, as they would
• ioubtlesi consent to emigrate for the purpose
of preserving life. Thus the policy of remov
ing the Indians to the westward might be par
tially effected, while at the same time the
'■lust' of humanity would be served. This
is the only way perhaps in which the Presi
dent would be authorized to afford them re
lief.—To see a whole people destitute of food
—the incessant cry of the emaciated creatures
being bread! bread! is beyond description
distressing. The existence of many of the
Indians is prolonged by eating roots and the
bark of trees. 'The berries of the India or
China tree of last year’s growth, were eat by
them as long as they lasted—nothing that can
afford nourishment is rejected, however offen
sive it may be. Nor can there be, to the
suffering of this wretched people, mitigation
or limit short of death, or the humane inter
vention of our Government. But few of them
on the borders of this State has planted corn,
because they had none to plant. The next
year will therefore find most of those who un
til then linger out a miserable existence, no
better off tha/i they axe at present. In a coun
try abounding in abundance, as ours in gene
ral does humanity weeps at such scenes.

From the Tuscaloosa Litelligcnccr.
By the Arkansas Gazette we learn that the
long contemplated treaty between the Osage,
t herokec and Creek tribe of Indians was
happily concluded on the sth ult, at Canton
ruciit Gibson, aided by Colonel Arbuckle,
the commanding officer there; Maj. P. 1..
hoteau, Agent for the Osages, with Capt.
ivor and A1 r. McNair, sub-agents to the
s"une tribe. The parties continued in Conn
ed for fourteen days, during which time two
treaties were entered-into, the one between
tne Osages and Cherokees, the other between
the same tribe and the Creeks.
But little trouble was experienced in ad
justing the difficulties existing between the
•reeks and Osages, which was principally for
sfo.en property, and of recent date. Chilly
J Intoiilj, the War Chief of the former
ail( l Gen. Campbell, their agent arc
as hiving exerted themselves to
•ring about a reconciliation.
j in' old quarrel between the Cherokees
-id Osages consumed much time ; to recoil*
t< e which the commissioners met with much
more difficulty, and for some days, fears were
J tuertained that these tribes would come to
' i' V3, Both parties were ultimately prevail
'd on to relinquish their claims, and after
ue signing of the treaty, mingled together
j‘ n< ‘ shook each other most cordially by the
hand,and separated for their homes in appa
vnt friendship. The horses stolen by the
wages were given up to their several own
f| ol the Creek, Delaware, and Shawnee na
tions.

BANK OP MACONh
For the purpose of quieting the feelings of ap
prehension which have been excited in the public
mind in relation to the solvency of this institu
tion, we have authority for saying that a transfer
of its chartered privileges has been made to a
company of gentlemen residing in this neighbor
hood and in Charleston, 8. C. who can command
any amount of capital that the necessities of our
market may require. As an evidence of the cred
it which the Macon Bank had establish®.! for it
self, and which it continued to enjoy up to the
moment of its transfer, it wiji only be necessary
to say, that a premium of $-.15,000 dollars has been
paid in by the purchasers for the privileges of the
charter.
There will be a change in the officers of the
Bank, and in the gentlemen composing the Di
rection, of which we shall he enabled to, apprise
the public in our next.
To c Correspondent.
“Cum Persecution — We don’t know what cum
persecutio is—but Will try and find out. ’Twon’t
do for him, or her, cr any correspondent whom
soever, to be smarter than we bo.
Now, the fact is, we arc persecuted—for to read
the communication which is claimed by Cum
Persecutio, would require a better decypherer of
straight lints and pot hco/cs, —one better ac
quainted with punctuation, and above all one
more possessed with the “ dear divine gift,” than
we are. What! who would think that we ean put
blank verse and no rersc, prose, and jingle, so as
to render it (even though all tne words be there)
passable Poetry 1 Had it not better be sent to
Lothario, with a quid pro quo of ‘ another six’ if he
will put it into good rhyme, measure, and reason?
We are pleased to see the various improvements
which have been made and are still making, in the
appearance of seme of the Newspapers in this
State. Among them is the iast“ Federal Union ”
which has assumed anew beautiful dress, which
vies with any of tire approved fashions which have
preceded it. In proportion to these good goodly
appearances, should the Press be. rewarded.
We have heretofore unintentionally omitted to
mention the talented acquisition to that paper, in
the services of John A. Cuthhert , Esq. of Forsyth,
who with its former editor, now conducts the Fe
deral Union, under the firm of J. G. Polhill &
J. A. Cuthhert.”
If writers and editors, who quote articles taken
from the Advertiser, do not quit using improper
credits, by making other papers say, what we
have said, we will “ do as we have been done by”
expose ’em. And we would some of our breth
ren “ low down” to say Macon Adrcrtsier when
an article is taken from it—and not as is frequent
ly the case, extract our remarks with the super
scription, “Macon,— 1831.” V\e would not
be verv selfish about such things, if others were
not so—-but, if one steals with impunity, why, we
ought to be allowed to “do likewise.” \\ e have
no notion of being the only violator of established
laws and usages—of being caught, tried and con
demned alone. Misery, it is said, likes com
pany ! We half believe it; and for this self-same
reason, we will detect and execute the next vio
lation against the law—the first trespasser on our
premises, who takes our goods and chattels with
out saying wc allowed him to do so.
THE POLES.
We are waiting with painful anxiety for further
advices from these gallant and suffering people.
The accounts published in our last were of so
contradictory a nature that we almost fear the re
sult. But still we will not despond—for it ap
pears to us, that ifSkrzynceki holds Seidlec, and
that ff Dicbitsch has been forced to retreat across
the Bug, the Russians must inevitably be whip
ped _if this be true, there is no doubt of the
Poles retrieving their independence, unless Aus- (
triaand Prussia should interfere to help the over- ,
grown bully of the North. Why are France j
and England idle 1 They arc clamoring loudly for
Reform , Liberty, and Equal Rights, and yet al
though time, resources, and men, are at their bid-,
ding, they will not advance one step to protect
from the most cruel oppression, a people whose;
bravery and patriotism havo become proverbial, j
and who arc struggling against atyranny unequal
led in the annals of history'.
Sinco writing the above, we have received
by this morning’s mail, (see Postscript head,) ad
vices one day later from Liverpool, "hey are of
a cheering character, and convince ut that the
Russian accounts have been highly exaggerated.
That Dicbitsch has been out-oenerallkd by
Scryznccki; & that tlx former fens been compelled^
to make a precipitate retreat there, can now be no
doubt. From the revolutionary spirit which pre
vails in Russian Poland, we should not he surpris
ed if Dicbitsch’s retreat was cut off, and his army
annihilated.
The political adversaries of the South, for the
purpose of depreciating her consequence in a Na
tional point of view, resort to the grossest absur
dities, and the most infamous expedients. '1 hey
break ground a great way from the object they
have in view, for the purpose of masking their op
erations—because they are aware that an expo
sure of their designs would defeat tin ir views. It
is in this way that Tariffites, political Ecclesias
tics, and pseudo philanthropists, assail us. We
had to clock one of the latter kind of animals, who
made his appearance in the Macon Telegraph,
some six or seven weeks ago. After an elabo
rate study the “ mountain labored and brought
forth a mouse” on .Saturday' last. The object of the
writer as it will be recollected, is to deprive the
Southern States, of the representation which they en
joy from their slave population. This, of course,
wilt be looked upon as a ridiculous and impotent
attempt to lessen the influence of the South.
In the course of the writer’s obscene and
vulgar “ rigmarole,” he intimates that we
charged him with enjoying certain benefactions,
and with having black blood running In his viens;
We certainly made no such charges.
If Dr. Bartlett will adopt the opinions of his
correspondent as his own, we will answer him at
large.
ADVERTISING WAVE<3.
This is a custom which would he “more honor
ed in the breach than in the observance.” It is
too prevalent among our periodicals—and we
think it a disgrace to the American Press. Un
der this impression we propose to our cotempora
ries that they exclude from their papers all such
advertisements. We shall do-ssando —and for the
following reasons :
A man comes into a printing office, and gives
an exparte statement of his wife, and begs that she
be advertised. Now this simple fact alone, is,
of itself, amply sufficient, to convince us of the
injustice of acceding to his request. The wife
is not present to counteract by her testimony, the
testimony of her husband—and we have no right
to place any confidence in what he says, until he
makes good his charges by irrefragable proof.—
This is such a plain and common ride of justice,
that it must be admitted by every man who is not
destitute of reflection. There is also a palpable
violation of the common decencies of life, in lift
ing up the curtain of domestic privacy for the
gaze of vulgar observation, —and this no man
should do who values his own reputation, or pro
perly appreciates the feelings of society. Beside
all this, we really think that in ninety-nine cases
out ol a hundred, the violation of the matrimonial
vows are altogether attributable to the misnotner
ed “ Lords cf Creation." A good atid affectionate
husband, will make the partner of his bosom a
good and affectionate wife. This is a fact which
is well known to all, who are acquainted with
tlm devotedness of woman’s love,, and is another
and conclusive proof that those advertising gentry
are generally the authors of their own disgrace.

For flic Mneon Advertiser*
The produce of Georgia is now conveyed to
market and the returns brought back, generally in
wagons.
Four horsra, will carry 8 bales of cotton one
hundred miles in, say six days.
Let us now compare this with whatis done
on canals and rail roads.
On a canal, two horses pull a boat of 40 tons
burden; say, 40 wagon loads equal to 8 bales of
cotton each. They can travel from 3to 4 miles
an hour. We will allow them therefore three days
for their trip of 100 miles. Four horses there
fore will pull two boats, equal to 80 wagon loads
this hundred miles in three days. In six days,
they make two trips. So that the 4 horses, which
in a wagon can in six days convey to market but
8 bales of cotton can on a canal, convey the same
distance and in the same time 100 loadsof 8 bales
each, or 1280 bales. One horse on a canal per
forms the work of 100 houses on a road.
Burdens equally lieaYy arc now conveyed dai
ly on rail roads at the rate of 30 miles an hour.—
Suppose we allow that pine Wood (the best of fu
el for steam engines) is not as plenty in Georgia
as elsewhere; that steam is not as powerful; iron
not as strong; or for some other foolish reason
admit that we cannot propel loco motive Engines
on a rail road at a greater rate than 15 miles the
hour—so as to make but about three of these trips
in 21 hours. Even at this rate, of about half, not
of what may he accomplished, but of what is now
actually and constantly done, we have eighteen
trips in the six days on the rail road instead of two
on the canal*.
No part of this is speculation founded on con
jecture —it is fact verified by actual experience!'
Rail roads are as much superior to Canals as Ca- 1
nals are to turnpike roads.
Is it too much then to say that rail-roads inevi
tably must come more and more in use ! They j
will increase on the whole just as fast as the j
stock will pay a moderate profit: till finally they j
will become the medium of all or nearly all lieu-,
vy or rapid inland transportation.
But will they pay 1 Some will pay and some
will not. Of this, hereafter. TRANSIT. !

COTTON. —?hc sales of Upland Cotton i.i the
week were not extensive, amounting oply to a-j
bout 2500 bales, and although we continue the
quotations of the previous week, it appears to be
generally admitted that a shade lower prices
were suumitted to for middling qualities. We
continue to quoie 7 ahi for inferior to common
prime, and a I*l and to cts. for very choice
lots, favorite marks. Tim principal sales were
at a Bj, and the whole transactions of the
week averaged about "8 cts. The demand was
chiefly for good, very good and prime qualities.
Inferior was rather neglected. Several very
choice lotsweresohl at til,and two parcels broglit
10 cts, however, very fine.
GROCERIES.— I The sales of Groceries from
first hands were sniall, and the trade i:i the count
ry is now over for the season. Sugars continues
low and very dull. A lot of 53 hhds. inferior N.
Orleans was sold at 54, and a small lot Cuba Mus
covado, good quality at 8R A small lot very in
ferior N. Orleans was sold at auction at 5R In
Coffee the sales were rather smull, holders gen
erally were asking higher prices in consequence
of the advance in Cuba. The sales from first
hands do not amount to more than 200 bags at
It) a 114 for inferior to very good Cuba. Molasses
is very scarce ; it is believed there is not a hhd.
in first hands in the city. Domestic Liquors, of
every description, are very scarce, and the prices
we quote nominal, but at these a quantity could
readily be sold.
FREIGHTS. —Since our last, several freight
ing ships have arrived, and they are all up for Liv
erpool. There is no vessel up for any port in
France. The rate of freight to New-York is sll
per bale for square bales, and f ct. per pound
for round bags Cotton. To Boston, 4 cent per
pound for square, and j for round bags C jtlon,
and $1 per tierce for Rice.. To Prvidence, j cent
per lb. for square and £ for round bags Cotton,
and $1 per tierce for Rico.

Liverpool, May 14.
Our Cotton market continues without any
improvement since the 30th ult. indeed so
moderate has been the nature of the demand,
and met by so much willingness on the part
of importers to realize, that wo can barely re
sume our quotations, and even those are not
fully obtained on the low and middling quali
ties of American: the better descriptions
maintain their previous position, not being by
ant means superabundant. The import of
all kinds since the 30th ult. amounts to about
54,000 hags, while the sales are only reckon-
eclat 28,000 bags, leaving an addition lo our
stock of about 26,000 bags upon the whole*
The state of the Manchester market is not en
couraging at this moment, as the export de
mand for Twist is yet on a narrow scale,
and the brisk state of the market, which we
noticed some weeks since, as existing for
Printing Cloth, has been succeeded hy a mod
erate extent of business at present in that
channel. Wc have, however, to notice a re
vival of inquiry for Cotton Wool for export;
the sales in the course of this week, on that
account, being altogether about 2,190 bags,
consisting of 300 American, 1,200 Brazil,
and 600 East India. On speculation noth
ing has been done of late. The public funds,
it will be observed, have advanced to an ex
tent rather considerable since our last, giv
ing a fair proof of increased confidence in the
maintenance of peace abroad and tranquili
ty at home; at the same time that those ap
prehensions, which were a short time since
not without foundation, as to the probable
contraction of the issues and discounts by the ■
Bank of England, have given place to the
general understanding, that commercial,
transactions will not at present have any diffi
culties of this kind to Contend against#
Extract from another' letter, Saturday Evening

The business done in the Cotton Market
this week has been on a more extensive scale
than for some weeks past, nevertheless, our
prices, particularly of the lower qualities of
Up! and; Orleans, Tennessee and Mobile, were

quotations accordingly.'
The sales of Cotton this daV about 1500

Fourth retreat of the Russians —Dox
Miguel iiumuled nv a British fleet.
The Packet ship Pacific, Capt. Crocker,
was boarded about sunset on Monday evening
50 or HU miles from the city, by the news
schooner Journal of Commerce,bringing Lon
don papers to May ICth and Liverpool to the
iTth, both inclusive.
Fourth Retreat of the Russians.
At length we have received authentic in
telligence from Poland, and, we rejoice tosay
of the most cheering kind. The Russian
commander in-chief, who, sonic months ago,
in the plenitude of presumption,pledged him
self to his master, that, hy a certain day, he
would display the Russian eagle in Warsaw,
has again been foiled, his plan again derang
ed, and, with the hulk of liis troops, he has
been obliged to fallback, in discomfiture and
disgrace,before the army of the patriots. This
is the fourth time that this doughty conqueror,
whose high pretensions have now become a
laughing-stock even to his own thick-head
ed followers, has seen his claims to immortal
ity vanish. Of the details of this last advance
of the Russians upon Warsaw,and the retreat
of the Poles before them, we have the ac
counts of both sides, and they differ but little
from each other. As soon ns the first move
ment from Scidlec, which was Dicbitsch’s
head quarters for some time, denoted an in
tention on the part of the enemy to advance,
Skvrznecki despatched couriers to Warsaw
to prepare them for the army, & to desire that
the place might be put in a condition to sus
tain a siege, in case the fortune of war should
be against the cause in a general engagement.
Nothing could exceed the enthusiasm with
which this news was received. The citizens
renewed their devotion to their country;
and wc arc told that, in an incredibly short
space of time, anew tete-du-pont was construc
ted at Praga, and a second wall of protection
was thrown up by 15,000 men, which was
sufficient to shelter the whole of the patriot
army. The most influential senators and cit
izens went out to join the camp, and every
one reconciled himself to the worst. The re
treat, in the mean time,continued, the Poles
every where carrying with them the inhabi
tants of the country, and every description of
provision which could serve as subsistence
to the enemy—Upon the 27th Skrzynecki
had reached the capital, and fixed his head
quarters there; the bulk of his army was at
Miiosna, a dozen miles distant. In their re
treat they appear to have been greatly liar
rassed by the Russians, and at Minsk an ac
tion of some consequence took place, in
which the Russians say the Poles lost a con
siderable number of men; but this is denied
by the accounts upon the other side. Arriv
ed at Dembe-Weilki, the Russians found that
they could not procure “even a little straw
for their .horses,” and the Field Marshall had
therefore, no alternative, but again to sound a
retreat, in which he has been pursued by the
Poles ; and the last account of him is from
Mordy, which is beyond Scidlec, the point
from which he set out. On the 29th April the
Polish army had again advanced, and resu
med its former positions at lvostraya, and be
yond Sicnnica. On the 30th the Polish army
advanced, and the vanguard was in the morn,
ing at Kaluszyn* The effect of this retro
grade movement must be highly favorable to
the patriot cause, for, besides its influence
upon the still wavering provinces of Russian
Poland, it proves thatlhe subsistence of the
Russian army is entirely dependant upon their
supplies m the rear, and these may be inter
cepted by the insurgents.
The only drawback to this cxhilirating
news is the statement (of which the accuracy
is no longer questionable) cf cholera morbus
prevailing amongst the Polish troops. It is
said, however, to be abating of its virulence
and mortality.
Wassaw, May 2. An Englishman from
Odessa has entered our ranks. Six English
surgeons have also arrived to assist the
wounded- During the few days fighting, the
young Narisehkin, the natural son of the late
Emperor Alexander, was made prisoner.—
The Commondt r-in-chief of the Polish army,
upon the requisition of Field-Marshal Die
bitch, Las consented to exchange him, but
solely upon the condition of receiving hack
the martyr of out good cause, Col. Severin
Krzyanowski, whom the Russians still retain
in prison, contrary to the law of nations, and
of ull our constitutional guarantees.
iiONnov, May 10.
We received last night Hamburg Papers
to the 19th 6f May inclusive. 'J’hey bring
us the gratifying intelligence that the Rus
sians were retrefung in all directions.—
Diebitch is said to have -left 10,000 sick in
Siedlcc. He is retreating with his whole
army to the Bug, over which river he has
thrown bridges. A number of details are
given of partial engagements, in which the
Poles have had the advantage. An army
obliged to leave behind materiel and prison
ers, mus suffer much from a vigorous enemy
at their heels.
Private letters, received on Friday night
by the mail, from Lisbon, state that the Brit
ish squadron, consisting of a 74 gun ship,
two frigates, four corvettes, and three brigs,
had arrived in the T.-gua, and demanded a
categorical answer to the demands of the
British government, all r.ogociation on the
subjects in dispute being expressly prohibi

being given, the British Consul, I Ir. Cprrce,
was ordered ;umiedia!. ly to embark, and the

I', ia a ified in a postscript to these letters,
tint the Portuguese Government, terrified by
the appearance of the squadron, had promptly
a '■f dud to every demand ; and that the whbli
affair, including the payment of the compen
sation; was tc be settled cn Tuesdy next
(the 3d.)
The announcement of this result excited
great .disappointment on Saturday among the
Portuguese Refugees, who naturally expect
cd (hat Miguel would persist in his obstinacy,
and thafosoine contest might take place which
would prove fatal to his Government. They
•may, however, indulge some hopes of such an
occurrence in a very short time,- fertile
French fleet has probably arrived tret
with orders to bombard Lisbon if tin ir de
mands are not complied with; and three -
ineriean frigates are on iheir way to th. s. ■
; destination with the same object. Theda:. . j
| of the Americans were still more serious t.i .1
those of the French or English. Suva r;.l
! American citizens had been sent from
I Michael’s and the adjacent islands in ir us,
and were afterwards treated with the great, A
cruelty and indignity.
Extract of a letter dated Warsaw, May 2.
Wc have had the Polish army at Milos; a
again, two miles distant from Warsaw. T 4?
following is a despatch from General Skrs -
necki:
“General Diebitsch had concentrated all
his forces, and in person, at the head of Ids
advanced guard, attacked 00 the 25th our rt i.r
guard near Kuflcw. Colonel Dembinski com
manded flic Polish troops in a battle of m •
oral hours, against the enemy’s overwhelm);
force, who had 18 pieces of cannon whilst
Poles had only 4 pieces. The Russian T.
Marshall endeavored to surround the Pol:. •
right wing with his main army.- Accor Ji, •.
to the plan formed by Skrzynccki in the com
mencement of the campaign, he did hot in
tend giving battle to the overwhelming fori
of the Russians in that part of the countr .
Which, it appears, is not advantageous: ro>
sequent!}’ he pave orders to the troops to r -
treat which was effected. Gen. Gidlffd an <\
part of General Skrzynecki’s corps formed
reverse guard at Minsk, which was attacked
the following morning at 11 o’clock. Th j
enemy presented a great mass of infantry and
cavalry as well as a numerous artillery, hi:*
.all Ins attacks were repulsed, after a battle: of
several hours, which did all honor to Gei ■
Giclud, who afterwards retired to his forrot r
position. I can assure the National Govcn
incut tliat the enemy has not made one -r
onet, unless it is the sick of the cholera wln~.
wore left in the forests.—Yesterday Gere
Uminski, in marching from Okqinew to Stains- ,
lawow, at the head of two squadrons of Lub- j
lin cavalry (quite new troops,) met Gen. N u
sakin’s cavalry brigade : the squadrons t- 1
tacked them hj-avely, and dispersed then;.—
The enemy lost upwards of 50 men and one
■officer killed, and a captain with 72 is
horses wore made prisoners. We had
ccrs and 5 soldiers wounded, but not, ,e
killed. The detachments sent into the for. :
continually bringan prisoners of the dis.
cd brigade.

SKZYNECKL
100 may depend upon this information, an
Skrzynecki never exaggerates, hut keeps.!
his plans secret. It issajd that he has made
a feigned retreat, and wished to bring the
Russians to Warsaw again, being a good po
sition for a battle; but Dfobitsch thought it
better to follow him, and has now retreated
faster than 110 advanced. Disbelieved tine
he wishes to get over the Bug again; but if ho
does the Poles will attend-him; they are now
following him up.
