REPORT
Os tho Board of Visiters incited by the Secreta
ry of War to attend the General Exnmina.
tion of the Cadett of the United Statet Mili
tary Academy.
Hon. LswisCass, Secretary of War.
Sir:—The undersigned, hawing attended the
General Examination of the Cadets of the Uni
ted State* Military Academy as a Board of Vt
eitera, submit the following Report as the result
of their observations.
The Board directed their inquiries M the
course of instruction, both military and scientific,
to the internal police, discipline, and fiscal con.
cern* of the Institution. In making these inqui
ties, every facility was afforded by the Superin.
tendent and membera of the Academic Staff.
In order that these inquiries might be prosecu
ted with greater advantage. Committees were
appointed by the Board, with instructions to in.
quire especially into the portion of the foregoing
subjects referred to them respectively, and to re.
port the result of their observations.
The report* of those Committees, which are
herewith transmitted, will convey to you much
information in detail, which could not convenient
ly be itsbodted in this re,port.
As tbie in professedly a Military Institution,
the attention of the Board was first directed to
the course of military instruction. Although
this branch embraces a wide field, it is intended
to speak of it as limited to Engineering, Artille
ry. and Infantry Tactics.
Engineering is divided into two branches; Ci
vil and Military; and in connection with the lat
ter, is taught the Science of War. so far as it re
lates to the attack and defence of military posi
tiona, and the providing of defensive means tor
an army operating in the field.
In the comae of Civil Engineering, is taught
the properties, preparations, and use of materi
ala of construction; elementary part* of build. I
Inf*, and the art of construction generally, in.
eluding decorative architecture; the manner of
laying out and constructing roads, the construc
tion of the various kinds of bridges, the general
principles which regulate the removal of ob
structions that impede the navigation of rivers;
(he survey, location and construction of canal*
and rail roads; and the formation of artificial,
•nd the improvement of natural harbors. This
branch ia taught to the first, <t graduating class,
by lectures, and a series of drawings and notes,
prepared by the Professor from the best authori
ties, and lithographed at the press belonging to
the Institution, under the title of “Outlines of
the Course of Civil Engineering.”—Drawings,
illustrative of the prominent parts of the subject,
are executed by the Cadets; and these exhibit
great neatness of execution, as well as much
precision in detail.
Next in order is the course of Military Engi
neering.
This comprises Field snd Permanent Fortifi.
cation. In the first, are taught to the same class, |
the principles which regulate the construction of
field intronchmems; the different kinds of linos;
batteries for the various kinds of ordnance; the
armament of intrenchmcnts, with reference to
the attack and defence, enclosed and detached
works; defence of posts; and tha construction
of military bridges; permanent fortification, in.
eluding a complete description of the bastion
front; the attack and defence of the same ; a
critical examination ol the principal systems of
fortifications; the construction and armament of
a Inrf rgsE * tb* I.)-works used tit tile dc,
fence of military positions; mining; the princi
ples of defilement, and their application to wotks
constructed for inland and maritime defence.—
Military Engineering is taught from a text book,
and from notes prepared with judgment and skill,
by the Professor; the whole being amply illus.
(rated by drawings, executed by the stndeals, un
der th* immediate supervision of instructors.
To the professional ab lity of the Professor to
whom this department is confided, the verv able
and satisfactory manner in which his pupils ac
quitted themselves in the various parts of their
course at the black board, in presence of the Vi
siters, afforded the most pleasing and ample tes
timony.
No changes, either in the course of study or
organization, ore at present contemplated, nor
■re any deemed necessary. The Board, howev.
•r, would recommend the continuance ot small
appropriations of money by Congress, for the
purpose of providing the department with such
works and models as the Prolessor may from time
to lime require.
Instruction is given to the Cadets of the first
elan in Artillery Tactics, during the encamp
ment, which usually commences in June and ter
urinates on the first of September following.
During this time, they are required to recite up
on a system of Field Artillery, at the same time
that they are taught a course of Pyrotechnv,
Mortar exercise and Target practice, with guns
of various calibre, as well as mortars and how.
itzera. Cadets of the other classes are also
taught the drill of Field Artillery during the aus.
pension of the other academic studies.
It ia thought by the officer at the head of this
Department, that the time allowed for recitation
ia insufficient, and that much which ought to be
studied thoroughly is necessarily passed over ra.
fWIf.
In ottr country there is no establishment pro.
tided by law especially for instruction in Anil
l*ry. All the education our officers receive in
this branch of study is, with the exception of the
mere drill of an artillery garrison, obtained at
this place. This defficiency would seem to sng
gest the importance of placing this department
of the Academy upon a more enlarged and per
nanant basis.
It is the opinion of the Board, that it would be
greatly to th* advantage of this course of in-
Btructton. if a permanent assistance were attach
od to it, instead of the mode now in use of de. I
tailing Cadets from the graduating c’ass.
In connexion with this subject, the Board
would remark, that the moving of ordnance on
ths field, by the bodily exertions of the Cadets
■lone, is s rsquisttion upon them of great seven,
ty, and is at the same time obnoxious to the ob
jection, that it keeps the Cadets entirely unskil
led in tha only mode ot using the field piece em- |
ployed in actual service. The Board would,
therefore, suggest the propriety of procurng a
number of horses sufficient tor Artillery exercise,
and alao for instruction in Cavalry '1 actios.
The same horses would be used (or both pur- |
poses, and the number required would not exceed
forty.
f Cavalry Tactic* have never been taught at this
Academy. Cavalry, as an arm of national da
fence, is confessedly of great importance. It is
submitted whether instruction* in that branch
might not be advantageously added to the course
of instruction at this Institution.
The Ordnance StoreSjfurniehed for the year,
■re good in quality and sufficient in quantity.
Some field pieces and guns of different cal fare
are wanted to render this department complete,
which ar* particularly detailed in the report of
the Committee on this subject.
On drill, and in firing in the field, the Cadets
exhibited a thorough knowledge of the manaeu.
vre* and evolutions in this important arm of
service, snd their drawings and mathematical de
monslrations at the black board, they evinced
high proficiency in th* theory and practice of
gunnery. Their target firing and accuracy of
throwing ebells, are very commendable, and as.
ford unequivocal evidence of great zeal and
ability on the part of the tnstructer, for which he
is entitled to much credit.
Th# Corps of Cadets, organized as a Battalion
of Infantry, exhibits on the field a perfect know,
ledge of Infantry Tacties, and performs all the
evolutions of the line and of the battalion, with
facility and accuracy. Their appearance in dress,
ia the condition of their arms and accoutrements,
■■ well Min eoldier-like bearing, is highly grati
fying, and deeerves much commendation, whilst
it rafiecte much credit on the experienced officer
1 -Waojimiand* them.
With regard to the course of study in the oth
er branches which are taught, agreeably to the
regulations of the Institution, the Board was
well satisfied with the abilities and zeal of the
professors and their assistants.
Besides the branches already mentioned, the
Cadets of the first, or graduating class, were ex
amined on Moral and Political Science, and on
Mineralogy and Geology, on ail of which they
exhibited attainments th it crtuld only he there,
situ ot it ueh a tentiou on the part of the Pro
fessors and their As-tst ant*.
In Moral and Political Science, (he class was
subjected to a satisfactory examination. Tl e
familiatity they evinced with the several systems
of ethics propounded by distinguished master
at different periods, showed that their minds hud
been effectually directed to the distinguishing
characteristics of those systems, nnd their re
lative merits closely compared by them and fami.
liarly understood. .The examination on the suh.
jeetol Governinentand Constitutional Law, were
highly gratiiying, with room, it is true, for slight
shades of difference in opinion; on the latter
topic, the discussions nnd replies of the class
were such as showed n just comprehension of
the nature and object* of civil government in
general, ot the peculiar and un'que and happy
system under which they live ; qualifying them
at once for n participation in the pursuits of civil
and political life, and teaching them duly to ap.
prcciate the blessings of those institutions, which
as soldiers, they may bo called upon to defend.
The second class was examined on Natural
and Experimental Philosophy, on Chemistry, and
Drawing. On these branches, the proficiency of
the Cadet* was quite creditable to themselves
and to their instructers. The knowledge which
the pupils seem to have acquired in the the itn
portanl branch of Chemistry, not only of its gen
eral principles, hut of their application in detail,
was gratify ng. The specimens of Drawing by
the Cadets, exhibited u the Board, showed a
practical acquaint tnee with this branch, which
demons!rated that they are fined at once to apply
their acquirements to purposes of prachcal uti
lity.
The third class was examined in Mathematics,
in the French Language, and Drawing.
The fourth class in Matnematics and the
French Lmguatre.
It has often been remarked, that in no school
is the mathematics more thoroughly taught than
at this Institution. The correctness of ibis re.
mark was quite manifest during ths present ex
amination, whenever mathematics or any other
branch dependent on that science was under
consideration.
The examinations on the French language
■ were very satis'adory. To those acquainted
with the language, there appeared, by the course
of instruction, to he imparted to the student a
thorough knowledde of the principles of the lan
guage.
Some of the members of the Board had an
opportunity ot witnessing th • proficiency ol the
Cadets under the instructions ofthe Sword Mas
ter. It was thought to be quite creditable.—
Whilst tltn instructions of the Sword Mas'er
secure io the officer and soldier the best means
ol personal defence, tlie exercise connected with
them is well fitted to improve the health and to
impart to the muscular system tone and vigor.
As connected with the course of study, the
Board lias thought proper to rein ark, that a good
Library, a Chemical and Philosophic I Appara.
tus, are essential aids in imparting re entific in
struction. Ir is believed an important benefit
would be conferred on the Institution, by adding
to tlte library some of the periodical works which
contain the earliest, and, at the same l ine, the
most learned dissertations upon the improvements
of the day.
1 The situation ofthe Professorship of Chemis
try, it is thought, might bn placed on a belter
footing. At present it is subsidiary in every re
spect. It is recommended that it be placed on
an equality with the independent prolessorthip,
and that there he two assistants, one of whom
should be the Professor of Mineralogy. The
whole course ofstudy.as conducted, ii is believed,
is well fitted to create a fund of information which
cannot tail to be of inestimable value to ottr coun
try in a civil as well ns military point of view.
The attention of the Board was directed to the
course of Religions Instruction. Tins course
is necessarily of vital importance. During the
present visitation, the Chaplain, to whom this
department is entrusted, has been under arrest.
There was, therefore, no opportunity of witness
ing the manner in which tlte dtt ies belonging to
this department are performed. The importance
of the duties to he performed by the Chaplain,
has induced the Board of Visiters to recommend
that the Secretary of War institute an inquiry
into the causes which have led to a suspension of
tlte performance of those duties.
With regard to the Internal Police it is enti
tied to high approbation. The condition of the
hospital is fully suited to the object of securing
to the Cadets all the comforts and medical aid
that they can require in ordinary cases ol indts
position. Clean, well ventilated, and properly
attended by nurses, nothing need he added on
these heads ; recent circumstances, however,
have suggested the propriety of enlarging the
nttmberof surgical instruments.
The South Barrack, which is theoldest build
ingof the kind at this post, is badly constructed.
The rooms are too small and they are injudi
ciously disposed. It is recommended tiiat they
be rebuilt.
Both barracks present an air of cleanliness
nnd order that rrfl cts credit on all concerned.
Tite Steward’s Hall, where the Cadets mess
in common, was visited. It was found that the
Cadets are supplied with good and wholesome
food.
A building for a Chapel has been commenced:
and it is thought will be comp eted this year.
The Store House is an old and very insecure
building, nnd altogether unfit for the use to which
it is applied; a new one is recommended for the
safe keeping of the stores deposited here.
The fiscal concerns of the Institution were
brought to the notice of tlte Bonrj. The die
bursements are found to he made in accordance
with the appropriations made, nnd a system of or.
d r and economy prevails. A building for mill
tary and other exercises, so requisite for the sue.
ccssful prosecution of military knowledge duri’-g
the inclement season of the year and to the
health of the Cadets, has been commenced, un
der the appropriation for that purpose.
An improvement Is recommended in ths np.
partments appropriated to the use of the Client
ical Laboratory, Library, and Philosophical
Apparatus. They are too smail and exposed to
danger in making chemical exprmients.
The teacher of Drawing is entirely destitute
of the convenience necessary to the practice,
study, and of cou r se improvement in his pro
fession. The building of an nppartment for
that purpose is recommended, the estimated
expense whereof will not exceed eight hundred
dollars.
lit the accounts of the Treasurer and Quar.
termaster the expenditure appears to he rigidly
confined within the appropriation. The whole
fiscal arrangement meets the en'ire approbation i
of the Board. The attention that is paid to I
economy in all the details of the Institution is \
very satisfactory. There remains in the Trea- i
snry an unexpended balance of the appropriation '
of last year of eight thousand dollars.
Upon the whole, the Board is of opinion that '!
the Institution is well conducted; that the object* j
to be attained by its continuance are of very j
great importance to the community. Knowledge !
is obtained by means ot this Institution which is
indispensable to the successful conduct of mili.
tary affairs. Not otdy is the knowledge impart,
ed to those educated nere, valuable in time of
war. but should a state of war be looked upon as
remote, the knowledge acquired is scarcely less
valuable in time ol peace, when applied to the
prosecution of the various improvements which
are so rapidly developing and enlarging the re
sources of our country. But the hope that
peace shall be perpetual should not be indulged
to our detriment. The means most essential to
the resistance of aggression should always be
within our reach. Tne humiliating disasters, the
waste ot life and treasure, that marked the com
mencement ofthe late war, (or want of a know
ledge ot what should bu deemed the elementary
principles in the science of war, are still fresh in
ths recollection of many. This Institution, it is
believed, ts well fitted to obviate the recurrence
of such calamities, from the same cause. At
an expense less titan is requisite to keep in com.
mission a frigate ofthe largest class, knowledge
of the science of war, in principle and inpracti
cal detail, ia imparted to a sufficient number ot
citizens of our own country, to enable us in any
k emergency, to conduct our military operations on
a footing of equality with the skilful enemy.
When it is considered that sucres* in war is
slightly dependent on either the number* or
courage of the parties, bm is most generally the
result of the scientific and skilful combination* of
causes, the effect of which is foreseen and cal
cul tied almost with the precision of a mathemati
cal problem, it would be a source of the most
painful reflection, that n country, justly proud of
its freedom and liberal institutions, should, for
want of appreciating the knowledge necessary
to the defence of that freedom and those institu
tion*. permit nsef to he the me'cy of
the enemi-** of ail liberty and liberal institutions.
It cannot be denied that those governments most
host'le to liberty at the present day, are most
ready to appreciate, and to appropriate all tha
aids that can be derived from science, and appli
ed to the art of war. How important that those
countries blessed with freedom should keep
themselves on a fooling of equality, not ia the
largeness of their armies, but in the knowledge
necessary to the formation of armies, and to di
rect them, when formed, with efficiency. The
knov ledge imparted at this institution to the
children of our own citizens, selected from eve
i ry part of the country,!* so indispensable to our
security, that to dissolve it without providing a
substitute possessed of advantages cqtt il or pre
ferable, would seem like retrograding from civil,
ization towards barbarism ; and well calculated
to endanger our national independence.

Anecdote* of General *»cotl.
Wc have had remarkable men in almost every
State, whose sayings and doings deserve to bu
remembered and transmitted to future times; but
which now only exist in tlte memory of their ac
quaintance*. On a former nccnsioti we gave our
renders some good Georgia anecdotes under the
head of Doolyana, consisting in the whittv ohser.
vations of that original genius Judge Dooly.
We propose now to furnish a few anecdotes of
General Seott. who some twenty odd years ago
was Governor of Kentucky.
Scott was a aoldier in the Revolution. And
it was in that service, we suppose, he learnt to
swear.—That was a blemish in his character ;
but lie always insisted upon it to nil hi* friends
'hat they must not mind hit swearing (or he
ment no earthly harm hv it.
General Washington reposed grea- confidence
i t Scott. When the fate of the American army
was supposed to depend on making a successful
retreat from the encampment at Trenton, he gave
Scott the most dangerous and important post,
and that was to defend the bridge against the
citrmv, until the main army should get off.
Washington having stationed him with a small
detachment at the post of danger, moved off as
if to join the army; but lie went but a tew paces
until lie turned and sat motionless on his horse.
His face was turned to Scott and his men; the
indications of gloomy forbearance seemed to
overshaddow his countenanc. He was probably
thinkmg how much depended on the prudence
and firmness < f Scott and his men ; for the Bri
tislt army were now in sight and advancing.
Scott, who had been perfectly silent while Wash
ington was present, when he thought he was
gone, turned to h s men and said: “Well boys,
you know the old hoss has put ns here to defend
this bridge; and by G it must he dons let
what will come. Now, I want to tell you one
tiling. You’re all in the habit of shoot ng too
high. You waste your powder and lead ; and I
have cursed you about it a hundred times. Now
I tell you what it is, nothing must be wasted ;
every crack must count. For that reason hoy*
whenever you see them fellows first begin to put
their feet upon litis bridge, do you shin’em." At
this. Washington did w hat he was seldom known
to do during the w ar; lie burst into n hearty laugh.
Scott looked round and to his surprize, saw the
Gotnmander in Chief, still sitting on his horse ;
they exchanged a pleasant glance, and Washing,
ton hastened to join the army. The bridge was
successfully defended, and the American army
preserved.
Scott had, we are constrained to ockowledge.
another fault beside the one we h ve just men
tioned. He was given to romancing; but we do
not know that in indulging this propensity, he
ever intended to deceive. He visited Kentucky
wh*-n it was a wilderness, and after he returned
to Virginia, he told some marvellous tales of the
country. Ho said you might every where in
that new country see she deer hundred; in a
drove, with horns that would measure seven feet
(mm tip to tip, rnnn'ng with the swiftness of
lightning over 'he plain, and from hill to hill. In
speaking soon afterwards of the fertility of the
soil, he said that tlte w hole country was covered
wi It cane, so that it was with difficulty a rabbit
could pass through it. “Why, how. under Heav
en,” said one of Ins auditors, “do those deer make
out to run through it then, at such a rate T”—
Scott looked like one caught, for a moment, and
then immediately replied; “Alt I my good sir,
that’s their look out: it is no concern of mine.”
When Scott was a candidate for Governor in
Kentucky, he was opposed by Col. Allen, a na.
live Kentuckian, a young man of fine promise,
who was afterwards killed at the River Raisin.
They were once both together at a General Mas
ter, where Allen mace a most splendid speech.
The trends of the old General, knowing that he
was no orator, felt distressed for him, thinking
that Allen’s eloquence must give him a great ad
vantage on this occasion over the old soldier.
When Allen had finished, however, Scott mount
ed the stump, and addressed the company nearly
as follows :
“Well boys, I am sure yon all must he pleaied
with the speech you have just heard. It docs
mv heart good to think we have so smart a man
raised up among us here. He is a native Ken
tuckian. I see a good many of yon here that I
brought out to this country when it was a wilder
ness. At that time we hardly expected that we
should live to see such smart men raised tip a
ntong ourselves. You who were with me in
those early times know we had no time for edit.
cation.no means of improving from book*. Wc
dared not then go about our most common affairs,
without arms in our hands to defend ourselves
against the Indians. But we guarded and pro.
tected the country, and now every one can go
where he pleases, and you see what smart young
fellows are now growing up to do their country
honor. But I think it would be a pity to make
this young man a Governor; I think it would be
I better to send him to Congress. I don’t think it
I requires a very smart man to make a Governor,
I it he has sense enough to gather smart men a
| bout him, who can help him on with the business
iof the State. It would suit an old worn :>utold-
I wife of a manlike myself. But ns to this young
- man I am very proud of him ; as much so as any
j of his kin, if any of them have been lie re to day,
; listening to hts speech.” Scott then»descendej
| from the slump, and the huzzas for the old sol
| dier made the welkin ring.
Those front whom we derive this anecdote
must excuse us for omitting the oaths of the hero,
and some other matt’ers which would give it point.
The age we live in though not better than thai
of Gen. Scott, makes greater pre.eulions to de.
licacy and refinement.
Scot- was elected Governor by a large majo
rity. He appointed Bledsoe, a man of fine genius,
hi* Secretary of State. Bledsoe had of course
to wrt'a his message. He bestowed great labor
upon it, and when he had completed it, he brought
it to the old General, for hts signature. Scott
took it and read it all over with great care ; and
when he had finished its perusal, fie looked up
at Bledsoe, with a very grave face and said :
“Well, Mr. Bledsoe, I know you think you are
a J J sight smarter man than I am, and so
you are in many respects; but this message, a* it
is now, won’t do at all; I’ll be d d if it will.”
Bledsoe was astonished and mortified. “Well,
Governor,” said he, “tell what is the matter
with it, that I may see if I can make it to suit
you.” "Why d- it to h , said Scott, why
didn't you P ut a g° o(k solemn prayer at the end
of it. and talk about Providence and the protec.
tion of Heaven and all that * Why General
Washington never wrote a massage or a pro
i dentation in his life but what he ended it with a
r prayer.” Bledsoe took back the message and
s concluded it with a prayer. When he returned
f it, the Governor was as extravagant in his praise,
as he had been severe in his censure. The
• message is yet to be seen in the Executive office
t at Frankfort, and is said to be a moat eloquent
f State paper.

r Stale Convention.
‘ It will be seen that the Convention hare deter
' mined, by a vote of 74 to 53, alter a dehate on
'• that subject of four or five days, to alter one word
1 in the 32d article—to strike out the word Pro
* teslant, and insert that of Christian.
* It has also been decided, 74 to 44, that the
■ Governor of the State shall be elected biennial.
3 ly, by the people thereof.
P It will be seen that the comirrttee on the sub
0 ject, have reported a plan for making future a
c mendments to the constitution; as also a mode
of submitting the present amendments to tne
B people forttheir ratification; the 2J Monday in
0 Novenibei being named as the day on which the
*• people arqtto vote on the subject.
r Nearly the whole of Monday, 6ih, was taken
8 up (morniiW and evening session, the latter not
terminally until near 6 o’clock) in determining
the mode of effecting fuiure amendments to the
“ constitution. A great deal of desultory Debate
took place; and the mode adopted, is,—
Amendments to be proposed, in the first instance,
by 2 3,is of any Legislature; such amendments
to be published" six months previous to the elec
tion of members of the next {legislature ; then to
• be passed by |da of the legislature thus elected;
and if a majority of the people then ratify them,
they are to be considered as a part of the const!
tution. Sundry amendments were offered; but
with the exception of some slight modifications
made or accepted by Mr. Mears, the gentleman
who reported the resolution, they were all nega
lived. Mr. Gaither's motion that a majority of
the legislature should be competent to propose
amendments, was negatived, ayes 21, noes 09.
The resolution, as above staled, was adopted by
a vote of 107 to 17 The question of the free
•• black vole, was again discussed, and, we believe,
finally settjed. Sundry amendments were offer,
ed, giving them the right ol suffrage on posses
y eion of a certain amount of property; which
j were severally negatived : Mr. L'ockery’s, 47 to
t 63; Mr. Fisher’s, 59 to 63 ; Mr. Gaston’s, 55 to
64: And the resolution was ordered to its third
r reading. The question on the viva voce vote,
e was carried, after a good deal of debate, 80 to
. 38.
■. On Tuesday, 7th, the article in relation to im
f penchnientc, was discussed, and amended by
0 striking out that part requiring the Chief Justice
to preside in the Senate while sitting ns a Court
1 of Impeachment. Some further verbal amend
n menis were made in the article, when it was or
; dered to lie engrossed for a third reading. The
s article in regard to the term of off! oof the At
b torney General, was freely discussed, and amen
ded : Aortprdmg to the final decision, he is to
e ho'd his office for four years, and is put on the
y footing of Solicitors. Although there was some
I diversity of opinion whether anv amendment
s c«uld affect the present incumbent, the impres
. sion of those members most learned in law, was
a clearly in favor of his right so hold the office tie
’ cording so the provisions of the old Constitute n
I —during apid behavior. The article in relation
s to the removal from office of Justices of the
■t Peace, wnsipo amended, that a criminal ennvic
, tion hy either the superior or County Court,
s makes his commission mill and void, and disqual*
i ifies him ever thereafter from holding the np

1 in tlie tnainiainance of a sinking cause, have as.
. sinned a position upon the Cherokee question,
» which, if continued, must result in consequences
j of the most serious nature to the citizens of the
Cherokee country. It has been asserted, doubt
, less for the purpose of creating a political ex
f citemenf, that this guard will be the means of
prostrating the judiciary of the Cherokee Circuit
at the fool stool of that military command. We
. must however in charity, believe that this oppo
, sit ion has been gotten up without that reflection,
. and knowledge of the true condition ofaffnrs in
, the Cherokee country, the subject demands.
1 For we are not vet willing to believe, desperate
, as is the living struggle of the Nullification party
, in Georgia, that there is any one of that party
, so rash, or so wicked, who w» nld knowingly
i and wilfully put in jeopardy the lives and pro
f perty of our ciniens for the purpose of proping
, up a declining party.
. These remarks have principals been elicited
[ from the circumstance, that the jealousies of the
t ignorant Indians, over whom Ropg exercises an
unbounded influence, have been excited to an
, alarming degree. So much so, that the Agents
of the Government find the utmost difficulty in
| the prosecution of the unties of their respective
offices. We learn from Col. Nelson, the agent
appointed hy the General Government to take
i the census of the Cherokee Indians, within the
limits of Georgia, that a few days since, while
in the prosecution of his duty, lie was suddenly
arrested by some five or six armed Indians,
under great excitement, who, from some cause
or other, had been induced to believe that the
agent was registering their names for the purpose
of forcing them to remove west of the Mississip
pi. But was, upon promise of making a satis,
factory explanation ol his mission among them,
released.
We also learn from an authentic source,
that the Indians in that part of the nation attach
ed to North Carolina, refused to admit the
agents of the Government to take the census of
their peijple, until they had received the fat of
John Ross; and that he, having instructed them
not to permit the census to be taken, many of
the Indians fled to the mountains for the purpose
of eluding the Government Agent.
Can any party reasonab’y hope, under these
circumstances, to excite the sympathies of the
people ol Georgia in favor ol Ross and his par.
lisans, for mere party purposes? Such temerity
betrays a rashness heretofore unprecedented in
the annals of any party in Georgia. And we
now ask of them to view-, with an impartial eye
the exposed situation of our country, and ask
themselves from whence, and by what party was
‘‘the policy ol the State," in extending her laws
over the Cherokees, originated, and the conse.
quences of “giving aid and comfort to the ene.
mies of the State.”
From the Norfolk Herald.
Mr. Broughton—As the fatal and desperate
affair, which look place at Chuckatuck on Tues.
day evening last, may be misrepresented abroad,
as I understand has been the case, I deem it not
amiss, in tact, rny duty, to give you a true and
correct account, as detailed before me as Coro,
ner of NansemondCounty, and the Jurors that
sat upon the several cases. The (acts are these ;
There had existed tor some time a violent enmi.
ly between Sam. Wlmfield and William P. Cow.
per, both of Isle of Wight, the cause ot which
it is not material orproper here to relate, and on
Tuesday last the said Whitfield and Cowper and
Josiah C. Parker met at Chuckatuck village.
After being there some considerable time with,
out passing any words, as is known, Whitfield
was in the act of getting into the carriage of
Wills Cowper, Esq. ard had hold of a lady's
hand, then in the carriage, when Cowper, 10 or
15 feet off, fired a pistol at Whitfield, but with
out effect; Whitfield immediately turned, drew
a pistol, and fired at Cowper, with fatal effect,
the ball or load entering the lower part of the
left aids ; he drew a second pistol, and again shot
at Cowper, but missed him, and the ball passed
on and killed an old negro man (David of Rix.)
Cowper, at the same time, apparently retreating,
throw his hand around and fired another pistol 1
at Whitfield, but without effect. At the same i
time, for it was all done in a moment, Whitfield t
pursued and engaged with Cowper, and struck
him several blows ; and at the same time, Josiah
C. Parker, (own brother to Cowper) stepped up •
and blowed the load of another pistol into Whit, t
field’d back, and lodged (ha aame in his body :
he then proceeded to beat, with the butt end of
a horse-whip, the head of Whitfield, ■ and there
by fractured hi* scull, either of which wounds
would have killed him. Whitfield lived 5 or 6
minutes; and Cowper lived till next morning;
the eld man lived but a short time. This, 1 think,
is the truth as nenr as can be told. It is not my
province so say where tho fault lay, or who was
to blame, but must say that Whitfield, though o.
verpnwered, fought with genuine bravery and di
ed like a hero. Thus, air, ended the most bru
’ tal and savage scene of butchery that, perhaps,
j ever happened in this connfry, snd the awful dis
tress which this inhuman tragedy has created,
is beyond description ; humanity shudders at the
idea of it. Besides many other relatives, two
a£ed mothers, an affectionate wife and sisters,
now exist to bemoan the awful catastrophe; and
shall we not pity the old negro man? Ue ap.
peared unconscious of the extent of his wound
and innocently observed to a physician standing
bv, “ Master Doctor, can’t you do something for
' me? I believe they have killed me too in the
' scrape,’’and then sunk and died. The old man
was not ncgloctud, but was decently buried by
t James Milbv, Esq.
t The verdicts of the Jurors were, th?t Parker
killed Whitefield feloniously and of malice afore
| thought; that Whitefield killed Cowper in self
, defence, and killed the free negro hy accident.
If you think proper to pitbfisn this statement,
you will perhaps, do a service to the community,
J as it is very desirable that the truth should be
. known.
, In haste, your ohd’t. ser’t.

Ml-.I Mil I ——————
i Tnesday Morning-, July 14, 1835.
I Dentil of Chief Justice Marshall.
, The Philadelphia, U. S. Gazette, of the 7th
inst. contains the following melancholy intelli
’ gence—
? “ We have this morning the painful duty to
discharge, of announcing the death of the ven.
erable John Marshall, Chief Justice of the
1 Supreme Court of the United States, The pa
’ triot, the statesman, the jurist, the historian, the
)
[ sage, the friend and biographer of the immortal
Washington, died yesterday afternoon, at the
1 boarding house of Mrs. Crim, in Walnut street,
where lie had been confined to his bed for seve
ral weeks.
“No man now living commands the respect
and possesses the confidence, that did Judge
Marshall.—Ho was beloved hy all. No political
disseniiotys reached him, though ho concealed
no opinion; he was
“While in, above the world.’’
1 “The loss which is sustained by the death of
Judge Marshall, is not that of any division or
party—liis talents were the nation’s—his fame
was hers—his loss is hers—and though many
who claimed particular affinity from opinions or
kindred with the deceased, may have a private
grief, the natioy mourns the going out of almost
the last star of that brilliant constellation which
shed so much ustre upon our country in the
days ol her menial greatness. Another occa.
sioo will be used to give a biographical sketch
of the eminent man whose death we thus an.
nounced.”
We understand, says the National Intelligen.
■ Iffier, that the President of tho United States
left this city yesterday, in the Sicamboat Colum.
bia, for the Rip. Raps, (Fort Calhoun,] where he
proposes to recreate and recruit his health foi a
weekaM*vo.
Schley is charged with having been, ami
still being, a federalist. Why fie should be ac 1
cured of still being a federalist, is more than w#
c.m conjecture. If eight years ago he was, it
is our opinion that political acts of his since that
time, clearly show that he is not now, obnoxious
to the charge. His votes in Congress on many
questions of importance, in which general and
vital principles were involved, were given as be.
came a democratic republican. But it may s
said, it at this time Judge Schley cannot be ac
cused of federalism, he certainly could eight
years ago. We will grant, for the sake of argu
ment, the position just laid down; hut we must
ask his accusers at the same time, of what k,nd
of federalism was he guilty? Was he a federal,
ist ol the school from which the Hartford Con
vention emanated? Was he a federalist of the
school which taught consolidation, and recom
mended the choice of a President and Senate of
the United States lor life? Was he a federalist
of the school which endeavoured to produce n
disunion of the American confederacy, and on
alliance of a portion ol it, offensive and defensive,
with Great Brittain? Was he a fed ralist of the
school which wanted to give more strength and
powers to the federal government, to establish
an aristocratic and privileged class of the citizens,
and to curtail the rights and privileges enjoyed
by the American people? Judge Schley has al.
ways denied that he was a federalist of this
description; and he has more than once appealed
to his enemies for the proof of the charge alleg
ed against him. In vain was the appeal made ;
in vain did he call for proofs; and yet the charge
vas repeated, and re echoed, and continues to
be vociferated even hy presses which not eight
year* ago were the warm admirers and suppor
ter of Judge Schley.
The Judge never denied that he was a federal,
ist; f*it a federalist according to the acceptation
given to the term by Mr, Jefferson. According
to Mr. Jefferson, we are all federalists, all re
publicans; that is, friends of the federal union
and constitution, and friends of the democratic
principles upon which the public institutions of
this country are based. Judge Schley acknow
ledges himself to be a federalist ol this descrip,
tion, and of none other. It he be not the fed
eralist that he describes himself to be, his
enemies can certainly produce some proof
against his assertionj and if they produce the
proof, there is no doubt that the true federalists
and republicans of Mr. Jefferson’s school, will
abandon Judge Schley to his fate, and choose
some other citizen as their candidate for the of-*
fice of Governor.
The charge of federalism has assumed such
a questionable shape, and is made so general in
its meaning, that it is impossible id answer it in
such a manner as to embrace specifications.
Whenever the charge will be of a nature moie
specific, the friends of Judge Schley wi 1 then |
be able to enter more minutely into the exr.min- ' i
ation of the various aspects under the
term federalist can be viewed. We hope, there- ]
fore, that the accusers of the Judge will come .
forward with their specifications. Until then i
we are obliged, like (hem, to confine ourselves .*
to general observation* and assumptions.
That Judge Schley should be opposed by ,
those who, for many years past, were in opposi. i
tion to the party to which he belonged, is not 1
surprising; but that he should be opposed now,
and accused of having been a federalist, by r
those who a few years ago belonged to rite same
parly, or who supported him for the pro. 0
minent offices in the country, is very strange so U
us. In our city of Augusta, two remarkable n
instances of the change alluded to, can be cited
as illustrations of the mutability of political o.
pinions, and of the frailties of poor human na- 5
ture. Judge Schley and the sditorof the Cbro.
nicle, before the existence es the doctrine es
nullification, belonged to the eane patty ; and
i lke ted not a more zealous supports? for
i Congress or any other high office than this same
; editor of the Chronicle. When Judge Schley
; wa * eupported by that editor, was* ho a federal,
i ** l • The editor of the Chronicle can easily
answer this question, and much bettor than we
• could, because he ices the friend and supporter
of Judge Schley, while toe were decided and
! uncompromising opponents. In 1831, Judge
. Schley opposed Judge Holt before the legisia
s ture for a seat on the bench of the Superior
’ Court. Judge Holt was elected by a majority
j o's a few votes. By wham was Judge Scltle*
. zealously, warmly, and persevoringly uupport
l ed 7 By whom w*a the opponent of Judge
’ Schley abused, and represented as a corrupt
, Judge, a prevaricator iritis official dutiea, and
i undeserving public confidence and the high sia.
’ tion he then held 1 The present editor of the
Augusta Sentinel can answer the ques ion bet
ter than any body else. And yet, strange as it
seems, the two editors alluded to, are the most
clamorous against Judge Schley,and none appear
• more obstinately desirous to find true the charge
. federalism, and mors willing to countenance
all the accusations which have been, and will
be, alleged against the Judge. In 1831. not
four j’cars ago, these two Augusta editors would
I have been gratified, nay, they would have ex
ulted, it Judge Schley had been elected Judge,
, They were then willing that a federalist of the
Hartford Convention school, a man who had
been the supporter of John Adams’ administra
tion, and an admirer of tho principles of Alex
ander Hamilton, an aristocrat and advocate for
the establishment of a privileged order, should
i have been placed on the bench of the Superior
Court. Did the two editors entertain then the
same opinion of Judge Schley that they now
do? It they did not, why ? It is pardonable
for thrfSe who have always been opposed to the
political advancement of Judge Schley, to ob.
(ject to his advancement now ; but when we find
his former friends array themselves against him,
and conduct to the former principles
of the Judge, we must bs permitted to observe,
that the motives for such wonderful changes
cannot be so varv pare, nor emanate from a
true spirit of pamotism. For many years we
were opposed to Judge Schley, and to the par.
ly to which he belonged ; and we must say, that
we assisted ; n preventing the Judge from obtain
ing those high offices for which at various times
he was j®-candidate ; but we will candidly con
less, (Tint there is one act in Judge Schley’s po.
litical life, which materially contributed in re
moving tho prejudices we entertained against
him. Judge Schley supported William 11.
Crawford for the presidency, as his first, and
General Jackson as his second choice. lie de
clared at the time that he was a Georgian, and
as such would support a Georgian for the pre
sidenry, a southern man, as well qualified to
fill the office ns any citizen in the country ; and
that the local politics of the slate could not
influence him when the great interacts of the
country, and of the southern section of the U
nion in particular, were involved in the question.
Judge Schley thus acted at the time, with Judge
Dooly, and other distinguished members of the
Clark party. For this act of Judge Schley, we
[■raised him ; and this act made us doubt at the
time the correctness of the charge of federalism
alleged against him by the party to which we
then belonged; because if he had been the fede
relist ho was represented to be, would he have
preferred Mr. Crawford or General Jackson to
Mr. Adams 7 Certainly not. Mr. Crawford
was then the radical chief, and ns much the ob
ject of the rancorous invectives of federalist*
and laiitudinarians, as Mr. Jefferson ever was
1 his days.
[COMMUNICATED.]
Mr. Editor, —Please publish tho following
proceedings in yousijßper.
At Bash Camp, Burke County.
In -accordance with previous arrangements,
the 4th \yj«Ccrfehrated with good order
and much httHno ny ofTfjeling, at Bark Camp,
Burke County. A large If fid respectable collec
tion of of the county, with a number
of guests from other counties, assembled at the
Meeting House, for the purpose of celebrating
the Anniversary of American Independence.
At 13 o’clock, the company came together in
the Church, and after an impressive and appro,
priate prayer, by the Rev. Joseph Pollhill, the
Declaration of Independence and Washington’s
Farewell Address, were read by Mr. Samuel
Fit hi and Dr. Andrew L. Paul, with a spirit of
atvmation which reflected credit on the readers.
After which an address was expected from M.
Hall McAllister, Esq. of Savannah, but was
prevented by the interference of professional
duties that were unavoidable, which will be seen
by the following communication addressed to
the Committee.
Savannah, June 18, 1835.
Gentlemen,— Your favor of the 13 h inst. is
before me, and would have received an immedi
ate acknowledgment, but for the hope that
some arrangement might enable me to respond
in the affirmative to your very flattering invita
tion. I deplore that this hope proves illusive,
and that professional engagements, long since
formed, and not to ,be postponed, will prevent
my so doing. I beg, gentlemen, vou will accept
my warmest thanks for the very flattering terms (
.in which you have conveyed to me, the wishes
of the Union Party of Burke. In the contest to
which you have alluded, there is engrossed a
"gainst us a combination powerful for its talent, j
wedth and enterprising spirit, and the very
smallness of whose numbers (although detract
ing from its strength in actual combat) adfls to (
the efficiency of its manoeuvres, and the celerity
of its movements in preparation for conflict.— r
But what have the people to apprehend if they
remain (as I doubt not they will; true to them
selves? A wholesome jealousy on the part of ,
the states, —an ardent attachment by the people
to the Union, are the two great conservative ?
principles of our institutions.
“ If the powers of Congress are too great,
they may be abridged by an amendment of the 1
Constitution, If they are abused, they may be r
corrected by a change of representation. It they 1
are exceeded, they may be controlled by the Ju. ,
dietary.”
Tima, while other governments carry within
themselves the seeds of their own d.aa ilution. our 8
sires fondly hoped they had transmitted us one 8
which in itself contained the principle of self- •
preservation. That principle is founded in the
means provided for tur remedyol defects which
’ime, circumstance, or the abuse of power (
might engender. Shall we disappoint the hopes .
of our Patriot Fathers ? Gratitude, Patriotism,
alike forbid it ! L u t not the people be deluded, e
Nullification or State interposition, (as it is **
termed on the south side of the Savannah river)
only sit epe—its advocates when able will arouse !l
it from its slumbers. Above all let us not rely w
on that false security, wh'ch is founded on nmn. "
hers—for this inevitably leads to disunion a ,r
mong ourselves.
This is the rock on which the many have too fc
often split in their contes's with the Jew, Let h
us be true to ourselves—to our cause, and our
glorious standard will ever float above us, with *1
no bright star stricken from its azure field. ill
I have the honor to be, gentlemen, w
very respectfully, yours, &c. w
