Haksoh, Manager. Tnx Cleveland Fialndealei lets slip this great truth: “Through all thespeeehes at the Springfield convention ran one sad wa’.lct distress that the Republicans had loot the offices.” The Whipping Post Is growing in favor. This method of punishment has been agitated in sev eral Northern States, for wife-heaters. It showed considerable strength even In Massachusetts, and waa not without advocates in Pennsylvania. At the iate meeting of the convention on pris ons and charities, in Washington City, the report from Delaware, where the whipping post is a fixed lustitution, was favorable to it as a prevention of small crimes. Maryland has adopted this punish ment for wife-heaters, and very recent ly a wretch waa sentenced to this pun ishment. Wife-beating is very com mon among negroes,; as are petty crimes, and the cost to the State is very large and steadily, increases. Georgia might adopt, then, the whip ping post with advantage to the crimi nal class and the public treasury. As tite Legislature is about to meet, it may keep out of the mischief that hangs on idleness, by addressing itself to this subject. If the whipping-post is to be revived, and it should be for a certain class of offenders, the benefits of it should be extended to “special correspondents,” who slander and insult individuals and communities. The United States steamer Iroquois bt sailed for Ecuador, under instructions to help an American citizen out of jail io that country. It will take the entire American navy to get one citizen out of jaiL Gas. Grant, though held up by his ad mirers as o man of iron, does not face a cancer as Ben Hill did. The latter, thoogh fearfully punished by the surgeon’s knife, never for a moment lost his fortitude. Dr. McCosk, of Princeton, ssys "be lias found out that good foot bill players aro poor scholars, while good scholar! are poor foot bail players.” And bow abont the festive baaeballist and the fellows who pull oarsT Tax Boston Herald is congratulating it self upon the fact that Sam Jones is head ing that way. Boston is a good place for Sam. He can stand on the commons and speak to more slnnera at one time than at any place in the world. Tux Philadelphia Press had the follow- ng the mornlog after the bell got home: ■“To oor Southern guests: The town is yours, gentlemen, and if yon don’t see what yon want, please ask for It. Mean time, what is the color of your paint?” A division ot the Salvation Army has oome to grief in a singular way in Chicago. A drnnken woman called Bridget Scotty has knocked the Salvation army down with a Bible. It is not stated whether the volume was of the old or revised edition. Has. EuziBSTD Cady Btahtor does not think that the CbrltUan religion has done much for woman. This is sfatlog it very strong; still, when we come to consider Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, it must be admitted that the Christian religion baa left a great daal nndone. Justu s Field believes that tbs Supreme Court should be so organized that its dock et! will be cleared before the adjournment of each term ot the coart. A delay in ren dering justice, he thinks, is, in a sense, a denial of jnstice, and ht believes his plan would obviate the troubles now made mat ter of complaint. Ear. Thomas Hasbisox, tbs “boy preacher,” who bu gone from LotdtvUla to Denver, estimates that ha bu”eonvart- ed" between forty thousand and fifty thou sand son la sines tbs beginning of his evan gelistic career.

New York is commonly supposed to be the centre of the oleomargarine trade, and much was expected from the State law forbidding tite manufacture or sale of it. It seems now as though the in fluence which knocked the life out of the canned goods bnsiness was strong enough to whip the State on a poor butter issue. Evidently the oleomar garine tub is able to stand on its own bottom. Says the World: The Court of Appeals yesterday rendered a decision declaring the law to prohibit toe manufacture and sale of oleomargarine In this State unconstitutional. The Judgment of the general term ol the Supreme Court main taining the constitutionality of the law was reversed. This decision does not Interfere with or In validate laws to prevent the fraudulent isle of oleomargarine as dairy butter. Neither doea It street legislation to prohibit and punish the manufacture and sale of n deleterious article under the name ol oleomargarine. The cue wu argued on the ground that oleomargarine manufactured by the French process patented by M. Mege. the French Inventor, hu been de cided by competent authority to be a genuine food product, not detrimental to health, and that m sneh Its manufacture and sale can no more be prohibited than the silo of dairy hot ter. On this point the Judgment of tho Court of Appeals la based. But while it Is unconstitutional to prohibit the manufacture and sale ot genuine oleomar garine u an Interference with legitimate trade, It la within the province of the Legisla ture to prohibit and punish Its sale as dairy batter, to require Its branding nod under sani tary regulations to prevent the manufacture of any ipurlooa, Impure and unwholcsomo ar tide. Turns is no end of the lying of the sptce writers, “special correspondents” and the vermin that bare attached themselves to the press. This, from the Baltimore Herald i« the latest end woret Instance. Referring to “Maryland, My Maryland,” itsaya: “The latter song," Mr. Sntro continued, “was written by James R. Randall, a native of Baltimore, and now editor ot tho Augusta (Ox) Chronicle, The music to which It was adapt ed by a young music teacher, named KUen- brook, In 1C6I, Is that of the old German Vo ks. sorg, '0, Tanuerbeum, O, Tsnncrbsum’— •0, Pine Tree, 0 Pine Tree, How Green Are Thy Leaves!’ It wu taken np at 'once end obtained t popularity which seems uudlmlnlshed to this day. Randall told me that he wrote It one night while In camp In Georgia, I think. The weath er wu close and the Insect life so active In his bed that he could not sle >p. Ills brain became correspondingly active, end the lines fiuhed through his mind— “The despot's heel Is on tbyshore I Maryland, my Maryland I His tonch Is at thy temple's door I Maryland, my Maryland I "He Immediately jumped up, he told me, and dashed oir the entire song u though It had some u an Inspiration. When he had finished he lay down once more npon his bed and went right off to sleep, despite the attacks of the parasites that Infested his couch. In the morning he read his lines to the ‘boys,’ who received them with enthusluttc approv al. It wu not long before they were known In every Confederate camp, and their rythm ofttlmes cheered the tired frame and weary heart of aome ‘boy In gray.' “ The poem wu written at a college in Louisiana, where Mr. Randall wai a pro fessor, in the early days of the war.

Thx Tribune's argument that n wrong perpetrated npon a negro is not an out rage nnlesa committed became of color. Is strikingly plctnretqne, but suppose we take the negro’e testimony npon this point. Maybe the colored brother regards the Freedman's Bnrean as an outrage; acd maybe the long list of unfulfilled promisee m ade to him by the Republican party ap pears to his benighted understanding as outrages. FROM ATLANTA. W. B. Corley Blows Out His Brains In a 8 torn—The Atlanta Colored Un^irelty Not Impartial. Noticing the Tribune’s attack on tho people ol Alabama because a negro was ejected from a car on which ho had no business, and the subsequent assault by the conductor npon an offi cious and meddlesome Yankee, the World says: But from the news columns of the seme es teemed Tribune of lut Sunday's Issue, wo clip the following interesting telegram; Tnroer Graham and hi* wife, negroee, were killed by a mob armed with shot-gune, after SMSttLtfJBHS'Z: ° ra fcS‘»“ aba tt?r- and he and hla wife were addicted to drink and were quarrelsome, although harmless to others.

This "episode," which U mildly heeded “A Quarrelsome Couple Killed by a Mob," as If that were quite conventional disposal of quarrelsome couples, happened oat In Ohio, In Osgood, Duke oounty, where of all places In the country n duky, oven If quarrelsome, ought to get off with e little lose than hla life, say for Instance n fine of KS, This same Duke county gave Mr. Blalno 4,ISO votes lut faU end Mr. Foraker 3,015 In the gubernatorial oon teat In which be was so badly beaten in last. Bat we have looked In vein In the esteemsd Tribune for any bugle cell or bloody shirt bowl summoning to jns tice, even for a fine of 425, one of the lawless Ohioans who so summarily disposed of the colored couple because they were "quarrel some," although tha dispatch says "harmless to others." Tax World says: Mr. J. D. Taylor, who presided temporarily over the Ohio Re publican convention, made a bold -<■!>» for the cheerful idiot crown now worn by Ksed Of Maine, “The State that gave 860,* 000 brave and true aoldlerf," said ha, “must ever be a Republican 8tate.” Ohio gave Mr. Lincoln (in 1800) 231,010 votes. After enlisting 350,000 troops, It gave Mr. Xlncoln (in lWt) 221,008. In other words, the enlistment ot’ “360,000 brave and true soldiers” cost the Republican party exact ly 7,008 votes. In the fall of 1805, when these 380,000 troops had been disbanded and bad returned to their hornet, there was an election in Ohio for Governor at which 2:3,633 Republican votes were poll- «d,or less by 365 then had been polled the previous faU whe-. these 380,000 troops were In the field. All the Republican voters among those 380.000 was 365 less than none, at least the statistics have that appearance. Joan Lotus does not ass correct itn gasg- < 11 ell occasions, bat no objections msy be found to this: “I hope every Ite- pabllcsn who nets to be retained ty ibis administration will be turned oat of offi-c. I have received letter after letter from Ur publicans in office urging me to exert my- atlf to have them retained. I shall not humiliate myself in that way. I would rather help to ett Republicans of that sort out. fn fact it is strange to me that a Republican would ask a Democratic ad- udoiatrotion to keep him In office. No Republican would aak Cleveland to ap point him, If be was onto! office. A pen 4ion for retention stands on the same prin ciple. Is U virtually aeking a Democrat for an appointment If a Republican St- . -I not ask for ait office bo should not ask to b* retained in oo*.

In that esse ha has a right to accept, but be to dearly wiotg in asking tobe re- Amerdment of the Civil Santo* Rules, Mr. Clevoland has already amended the civil lervice rulea, so that deputy collectors and naval officers are not subject to examination. They trill be further amended in a very important particular. When thccommluion established it was found that many States had far more than their quota of employes in the public service. The commission continued to fill requisi tions from the various departments without regard to tho discrepancy, This acted to the disadvantage of the Western and Southern States. The President’s attention wu called to it and ho will order a change, and here- alter StAtes will be selected in rotation as to their civil service candidates. If this is carried ont properly in letter and in spirit, many of the present in cumbents in the various departments will have to go. Ohio and the District of Columbia, ami others, have a great many more clerks than they are entitled to. The Southern States, on the con trary, have never hml their jnst quota, even as represented by men and women, who were never south of the Potomac river. The Southerners who have stood the civil service examination will probably have some show lor positions and em ployment. ( Atlanta, June 18.—At halt-past 10 o’clock this morning three pistol shots were fired in rapid succession in the store of H eifiz & Berkele, 15 Whitehall, dealers in gnns, pistols, etc. The commotion within made it apparent that something eerions had happened, and in an Incredibly short time the street in front was blockaded with an eager and cartons crowd. The front and rear doors of the building were closed to keep ont the crowd. Yonr cor respondent was admitted a few minutes after the firing. About half-way down the store, lying on the floor in a pool of blood was a dead man. He was stretched and at fall length. He was apparently 45 years of age, five feet eight inches In height, with brown moustache and chin beard, face fresh abaved, dressed in a neat black suit, shoes polished and a atraw bat lying near by. Around the head of the dead man were streams of blood, mixed with brains, and here and there •mall pieces of sknll. Through the head abort- ttie temple was a great wound from which the blood waa aliil oozing. A few feet off was a 38 calibre, seif-cocking Bmllh A Wesson pistol. The dead man was W. B. Corley, of Troy, Ala. At twenty minutes after 10 he stepped npon the doorway ot the store. Mr. John M. Heinz, of the firm, asked if he conld do anything for him. He answered no, but that he was looking for Heioz &, Berkele’a store. On being told that he waa then In their store, he expressed a desire to look at aome platola Mr. Heinz waited on bltn. Mr. Corley asked for a self-cocking pistol, 111J waa shown a .--caliber self-oocking Bmilli A Wesson. He decided to buy it with it a box of cartridges. At his re quest Mr. Heinz loaded the pistol. Mr. Cor ley gave him a 320 gold piece. The price of tho pistol was 113, and Mr. Heins went to the money drawer for the chaDge. While he wee gene the etranger fired two •hots very quickly et a packing box near “7, as though to test the pistol. When Mr. elnz turnid the stranger had the pistol pointing agalnat his right temple. Heinz cried to him, “8top I” bat in a second the e ltd was discharged, and within five or n minutes the man was a corpse. Doc tors Parka and Roach were called in, but it waa too late for their professional ser vices. On the person of the deal man was some 333, a large pocket knife and a piece of paper on which was written: “Troy, Ala., March 31,18fS. “ W. B. Co SLIT, Esq.—Plata* send state ment ot guano account.

Inquiries made of parties acquainted In The wedier Memorial, Mach of our space in tills issue la de voted to the Wadley memorial. Tite report will be found to be fall,'accurate aniliptereating,und ia accompanied Iby a striking cut of the monument.. Not the least interesting feature will be po liced in the speeches of the occasion, which were all appropriate and admira ble. The oration of Major Jo*. B. Com ming is a model of taste in spirit and language, doing honor both to the sub ject and speaker, and rejecting credit npon the selection of the committee. From the Cape of Florida to the farthest North—from the Atlantio to the Pacific— wherever the British flag baa floated, the management of the Indian tribes has been given to Scotchmen, and areally to Scotch Highlanders, One Is naturally led to ask the reason of this arrangement. Was the Seotchmsn more enterprising than his English neigh- oor for did the wilder life of the Highlander, the fends and forays of the c'ans, give him a better Insight into the working of the savage mind? There may be something n this, but I think I see a clearer reason fri'thadttlerent conditions of the two conn- rles. The several unsuccessful insurrections in favor of the Smarts, always followed by fines, forfeitures and executions, had dis- urbed the northern hire, and many ions of broken houses hid swarmed over to America. Bnt, when here, what were they do? Their previous habits made the narrow life of the towns distasteful to them—they were indifferent agriculturists, but they had bunted the red deer on tbelr hills, and speared the otter in their streams; they would strip the robe from the bnflslo, their ikies from the bear and the beaver, and the hide from the deer on which they fed; and by the sale of thete peltries, they would win a manly and lucrative living- re they left the settlements behind them, and plunged luto the forest. Their supe riority to firearms gave them au advantage over the Indians. By the gift of a few trinkets they attracted adheranti and the Indians hunted with them, and ander them. Boon trading hoosts sprang np, and ths British Government, finding thete ont- postsof civilization forming themselves, f ;ave them additional stability by intrnst- ng them with the distribution of some small presents. She dotted, here and tip-re, among them a few young officers, and her Indian system was established. These officers soon gained tha affections of the Indians (who called them long knivea be cause of the swords at thetr sides) and often led them to war with the French and Spaniards. A practice sprang up scarcely to be com mended. Many of these wanderers from th* paths of “qatotness sad peace” took to themselves Indian wives—polygamy pre vailed among all tha tribes, and the chiefs gladly gave their daughters to men who conld strengthen their arms Doth in the chase and in battle, while the dusky bride felt no shame, it she ever came to know that, far away among the pale faces, there was another wife and other children. A nong their many customs different from our own, was one that rank descended through the female; not the heir male of the chief, but the heir male of the eldest daughter of th* chief wu considered hit successor; a strange complication, but out of It, in course of time, it came to pass, that aome of the most distinguished chiefs among the Southern tribes bore the names of S.-n-i-’.iiiii n. t-.lher mi : nrv or civil, who had resided at these frontier posts. The colony of Georgia extended from tire ocean to the Mississippi, and embraced within il« liniiti many more lnl.es than nnv other col my. Among these the Creeks were much the strongest la numbers, and had subdued, and then -wr- 1-. had admitted as conlederates, several con quered tribes, but always with some badge to show to posterity that they had been conquered. Thus by a standing law of tho Creeva, the Uchee tribes who shared with them in all their privileges and possessions, were compelled always to encamp sepa rately, and on the left. This great tribe was itself divided into two bands, the upper and Hie lower < r.cx- ami over them ruled two of the most remarkable men who have held relations with their white conquerors. I am not writing a romance, but only trying to gather together some extant facts, still unburled under tho debris ol UmejnoramI writing history, but ooly, like Old Mortality, trying to renovate the graves of aome neglected dead.

Will he gowith me into ' Ha very bowels of this forest land, and stopping at McIntosh Blnil, on the Tombigby river, look in upon its Inhabitants? Here he will find Capt. John McIntosh, a Scotch gentleman of high extraction, who, we are told, bad fought for the fituan claimant in the insurrection of 1716, and having tost bis all In that cause, had emi grated to America; had been generously treated by tb*Hanuvrri»ii dynasty, a ml bad been employed in military service sometime on tlie Carolina frontier, and afterward poshed still deeper into the wil derness, uutil he rested at McIntosh Bluff, on the Tombigby. But this Scotch gentleman had not fol lowed the practice to which I have already alluded. He had brought with him (ram ids native land hid own winsome wife, and her bonny brood, and those who, like my self, have bad the pleasure ot knowing any ot the descendants ot this high bred couple, can well understand bow transmitted re finement may cling to a family when all tha adventitious gilts ot fortune have been taken away.

Catherine Moln- Itosb, had settled at Bellerille, on Bapelo river, also. Pickett, In his history of Ala bama. says that thla gentleman, father of Col. Troup, was re officer tn the British army. Major Wm. J. McIntosh, a near neighbor and connection, saye ol him that he nad been extensively engaged in com mercial pursuits, and was a person of mneb Polish and literary acquirement. Governor Troup himself, in a letter to the Alabama historian, ssys that he actually knows nothing of his father’s early history, and has no record of him except an Oxford Bible which contaiDa tho usual family rec ord. The children were born at Mobile, at McIntosh Bloff, In London, in Charleston and in Savannah, and the dates given would warrant either conclusion. Lst ns return to Alexander McGillivray. Gen. Knox, secretary of war, charged with Indian affairs, writes President Washing ton, on July 0,1789: “Besides the cbiels of the respective towns, the Creeks appesr to be very much under tho direction of Alexander 3IcUillivray. The father of this person was an inhabitant of Grorvia, and adhering to Great Britain daring the late war, his property was confiscated by that State. His mother was a principal woman of the Upper Creeks. He had an English education; hia abilities and ambition ap pear to be great; his resentments are prob ably unbounded against the Stateof Ueor gia for coniiscxtlng hia father’s estate and the estates of his other friends, refugees from Georgia, several of whom reside witli him among the Creeks. “Ho is said to be a partner in a trading honse which has a monopoly of the trade ot the Creeks. Tho communications to the Indian country are through the Flori- das, under protection of the Spanish au thorities. The profits of the commerce centre io Great Britain, and one of the Ba hama Islands is the Intermediate place of deposit. The Stateof Georgia is engaged In a serious war with the Creeks, and as the seme msy bs so extended and combin ed as to reqalra the Interference of the United Stales, tt will be highly proper that the censes thereof should he stated and ex amined.” Gen. Knox is a prolix writer, with a strong bias against the claim of Georgia to gorarn the Indians within her limits, bnt his statements of (sets msy be implicitly relied on, and I will not enenmber these few pages with long transcripts from docu ments which are accessible to ail. At tho treaty of Augusta, November 19, 1783, the Creeks admitted themselves sub- ject to the Stateof Georgia, and at tihotti- derbone, November 3, 1780, the Creeks Again acknowledged the enpremacy of Ueorgia, made farther cessions of land, and gave hostages for good behavior. The McGilllvrays, crushed for a time, red dispirited by the loss of the royal sup port, were unable to offer any serfons op position to the treaty ot Augusta; but by the period of the treaty of Galphiuston, matters wore a very diQeront aspect. Alexsnder 5(cGilllvray had become the chief ot theUpperaml Lower Creeks. He bad persuaded the Creek Nation to declare themselves a dependency of Spain; he had acquire unlimited ascendancy over tho In dians; he addressed the government of the United States, as one independent poten tate addresses another; but to the anthorl ties of Georgia he breathed nothing but un dying hatred.

But there was another more important person than any to whom we here all-id..1 who often found his way to McIntosh Blutl. This wu Lachlan McGilUvray, Indian agent of the British gorernment.

Pinckney on this very sub ject, he says that on tne return of tna ne gotiators the chiefs ol more than 40 towns refo**i to be bound by the treaty of Au gusta. McGiUivray sums now to have settled npon bis Una of policy; It was aimply thla: To aflect friendly feelings toward Congr.es and tbs people of all tbeStatea. except the Georgians, to claim that the Creeks were independent of American rale, and to ad here to Spain nnlesa ha conld obtain foi himself vary material advantages, at tha price cf bia reoogoltion of American au- ttiorltin. To this fed bs broke np several proposed me tings between tha oommla- slnnera from Congress and ths Creak chiefs. After repeatedly breaking bis appoint manta, McGilUvriv (lastly met the com missioners of ths United States at tha Bock landing on the Oconee, acompanied by tba largest deputation that had aver at tended any treaty. Soon after tha arrival of the commlnloatra McGiUivray address ed a note to them, concluding thus: “I beg tpsuggaat to you that a private conversa tion between ua will be necessary previous to ths opauing of tha treaty, and this camp I think tba moat convenient for tha par- pons." The commissioners thought prop- •vtixiMn^TWith this request, and waited upon MeOUUvray red arranged with him tba1 Items of a treaty which they thought aatiafactory. Ha had gained 00a gnat point by th* moral rapport which ha de rived among the Indians, from th* defer eqoeshown him by tha commissioners; whether ha waa equally satisfied in other raaptets la doubtful, but ba suddenly broke no tb* oonfer nce, and wrote tbs commle- atonars that tba Indiana wan notaUagatb- •r satisfied with Uw terms, that thebant- &~JKH?i 1 as’S3isi eu * 1 mai cose, making ” • the declaration “Clare Constat, 1 ’ Leit I reoover. may bo suspected of writing in on unknown tongue let me explain that tne“registrar ot sasioa means the connty record, and the declaration ot “dare conatat" means that the superior or lord of tha manor, admits the validity of the claimant's title! Alexander McUilhrray had been edu cated in Scotlaud and had mixed much in good eodety, but he was a very Indian at neart and held with antique intensity the devouring passion oi revenge. McIntosh who took largely the place ol McQUltvray at a later period with the Creek*, waa not sent to Scotland to be tamed, bnt he was as I have been told, kindly noticed and cared lor by his father, C'apttin McIntosh who bad him sometimes at 31 allow to stav with his whiter acd more legitimate breth ren. And hero I might as well discharge myaelt ol an anecdote which, unless given by me now, wffi never be given at all, lot I am perhaps the only person now living who has heard It from the lips of persons cognizant of the fact. When Captain 31c- Iutoah died, (about 1795,) the young war rior, not then a chief, came down with a ■rusty band of followers to the coast of Georgia and possessed himself of a certain number of negroes, which he considered bia fair proportion, and took them with him to tho Indian nation, and I have understood that thla Highland or Indian way of pleading his causa did not produce any Berlous or continued breach between the white and Indian halt brethren. Alter 3IcIntosh became head chief of theCoweta towns be kept them friendly to the people of Georgia and maintained all treaty stln- illations. When a dangerous coalition occurred of all tbo other tribes, McIntosh held back, and when Geo. Anarcw Jack- eon harried with a brigade of Tennessee vulnnteers to meet this threatened danger, McIntosh joined him. They found ihe enemy at a place called tbe Horse Shoe, or Horse Shoe Bsnd, on account of tbe curve which the river made there. The combined tribes paled themselves in this bend, widi some idled trees in their front, an. behind this abattis they held the Americans in check. At tills juncture McIntosh detached himself from onr forces and crossing the river, made a wide circuit with bis Indians and tell unexpectedly upon tbe ream! the hostlies. The enemy were completely de feated and aned for peace. For this well executed maneuver, McIntosh received the honorary rank of brigadier general in the army ol the United States. In one of the (reqnent treaties for tbe ccr.-non ol more land to Georgia, McIntosh reserved to himsell a place within tae ceded limits at what Is now known as the Indian Spring in Batts county. There he spent much of bis time, and while there he lived more like a Georgia planter than an Indian chief. He sent his son CblUy to Georgetown College, and locally believe thonght he could bring hla people within the pale of civilization. Tbe government of the United States, growiog rich and popnloos, conceived a scheme for tho removal ol all the aborigi- nes to the territory which she had lately acquired west of tae Mississippi. She IteM oat a promise of perpetual possession, without disturbance, of large annuities to all tbo tribes, and of missionaries to guide, cchool masters to instruct, and Dlack- smiths to keep their implements in order at government expense. McIntosh (ell Into the snare. He signed a treaty contain ing nil these conditions, bnt be signed his death warrant. The Indians were furious and a large number swore that they would never leave tbe graves of thetr fathers. McIntosh was then on one of his visitations to ills tribe, and it la said he was advised to leave the Indian nation by the then United States afant, with whom he was not on good terms, bat ha thought that this auvlce was given to put him to shame before his pejpie, and be would not go. A council ol those opposed to him was called, and hia death waa decreed, and, with secrecy and dispatch, they surrounded him in hia sleep and killed him. Onr people in Geor gia called this a murder; the Indians call- • 'll i' H 1,1* f . . - 1 * ’ -»■ I. But McIntosh had still a very strong ,’urlv. I'll- y il-w In arm -. an-1 u civil Wur broke out which was only suppressed by tbe army of the United State'. The feathers of the Black Eagle formed the standard of tho Creeks, (tee Bertram's travels in Georgia and Florida Id 1773 and after,) and in conclndmg this brief sketch of two remarkable men, I venture to use the figurative language of their tribe, when I aay these two wur eagles came out of the tame neat, for they were kfoamen, and a vary near relativn of thla Georgia McGillivray commanded the clan Mc Intosh at Callouen, and fall ia that Uut fight between Celt and Baxon. I have heard it said that there is no romance io American history. I confront tblsatatement with the unvarnished tale I have been telling. Hera we have three yonng men nearly allied in blood, end not iar separated In the period ot their birth, who played very Impjrunt parti In the national drama. McGilUvray exercised an imptrium in Imptrlo within the juris diction ot the United titate* and made war openly or covertly for many years sgainat the titate of Georgia. Molntoah succeeded to the influence of tbe former chief but changed tha policy of the Creek Nation, nod brought them into cordial and affectionate relations with tha people of Georgia, and George M. Troop, their cuusln, then Governor of Cteoriu, sheltered McIntosh's adherents, called oat the Georgia militia lot their K rotec'.lon and finally succeeded in extend- ig th* Jurisdiction of the titate over all the disputed territory.
