CHRONICLE AM) SENTINEL. : A.i;« IJ&TA. Frldcry Morning, Jane 23. In the absence of tb» Editor his friend has fur nished the following remarks it; reference lu the loss of the steamer Pulaski. Wo have deferred making any remarks fix regard to the loss of the Pulaski, hoping, even against hope , that something might have occur red, and saved at least one friend from the num ber of those who hayc perished. Put alas, hope • is no longer (ho refuge of the bereaved and dis consolale ; tiro heart is called on to brook and 'bear up against this weight of grief, inflicted by such a mournful and soul stirring reality.— Who is there that feels himself prepared to meet, with indifference, such an awful calamity, such an overwhelming misfortune. Only a few months since, lamentations and sorrow were hoard, for kindred tics forever broken—sighing! and grief for departed worth, and genius and greatness wrung the heart of true friendship— a general anguish prevailed for the loss of worth respectability and usefulness. The sad fate of the Home, is still fresh on our minds—the wounded bosom has scarce been relieved of that shock and agony, when families arc again to assume the habiliments of mourning, and the country to wear tire gloomy aspect of dis tress. Who can tell the meaning of such sudden bereavements, the continued infliction of such 'trials 1 When the eye rests on the names of those who have been taken so suddenly from among us—those connected and endeared by every lie which can bind man to man, and which makes their memories beloved and respected—those who have sustained so many relations to the community, and then reflect that they have taken a last, long adieu, of many now mourning without hope, of a stale where honor awaited the reward of cntcrpiize and talent—we can> not fathom the depth of that wisdom, (hat Irff ' caused families to weep and lament, and llu^our^, try to mourn the loss of such valuable 'citizens, fan the mind picture, the scene of families engulphcd in one common ruin’ The father and mother struggling with the mighty element, and grappling with death, that perchance they might place one child on a small fragment of their ■haltered bark, ere they sank to rise no more. Can the horrors of that night bo imagined when till went down—when youth, with its g bright days and unbounded hope ; when dear " ones, highly gifted, with all the sweetness and loveliness of character, and beauty and intelli gence, and refinement, sank beneath of she roaring deep, in the prime of years, vwicn ; their pathway was showed with fresh flowers life; when manhood, full of virtue ami bencvo» lence, ami all the exalting beauties nf the soul, ripe with all the noble energies of mind and body, ready tor bold and vigorous action in ils country’s honor and improvernen', to be then the mature victim ot death; snatched from its carthlv caiccr' " cu| t contemplate such an awful deslruc' ' tion ol Heaven’s brightest gifts without tiro mind ' being almost paraliscd by sorrow, and the finer 1 feelings of our nature overcome by grief? 1 That community which has been spated to t mourn for parent and child, husband, sislen i brother and friend, Iras indeed been relieved of an affliction that knows no mi'igalion, and an an- 1 guish that feeds upon remembrance. Alas! it is ' not so with us. Ours is a bitter misfortune—all I the near and dear connections and relationships 1 of life have been cut asunder—the tear pours 1 from every eye—the only solace to broken hearts ; i 'one tribute of respect to departed friends. i There is often a sweet consolation in having i? i in our power to wander around, and muse over I the resting place of those whom we have loved and cherished, while on earth—but, alas ! wc cannot visit the graves of our beloved ; for, hark> s do you not hear above the roar of the ocean— ‘ the voice of lamentation—the wail of the 1 infant—tiro shriek of the woman—the half • smothered groan of the drowning man. Who t may break the bars of the deep. Amidst its i strong and tearful depths, who may sock for (lie I “loved—the wounded—the lost.” But memory, \ too, has its depths, and there, on a foundation, t strong and lasting as the mind itself, will be i erected a mausoleum, where shall be treasured t the virtues of those whom wc dcploro. And when I in years to come, our country shall stand in need t of like virtues, we will draw our treasures from i the deep, and bid our children imitate the exam-- i pie of Lamar, Twiggs, Tarkman, and Cummings, like them possess—energy, industry, enterprise and integrity. M.

The Charleston Mercury of Wednesday slates * that although the naiflo of Gen. James Hamilton appeared in their list as a passenger in the Tu- £ laski, he did not go; he had engaged a passage i for himself and family, but was fortunately do- J tained, by the non completion of certain papers t connected with his agency for the Stale in Eng- i land. c , ' s From Florida. v The Savannah Georgian of the 20th first, says', 1 —By tho arrival yesterday of the steamer Charles- | ton, Capt.

The Natchez F'rcc Trader states that while the steamboat “North St. Louis” was on her way to i Shreveport on the sth lost., her steam pipe split and scalded three hands—a negro woman jumps cd overboard and was drowned, 't hree other person?, (a deck passenger and two deck hands) i were also drowned in attempting to take a line ashore. The yawl in which they wore going ashore was sucked under by the force of tho con dieting cui rents, and escape was impossible; Meeting ol Mechanics. At a large and respectable meeting of the Me chanics, held at the Lafayette Hall, on Wednes day' evening last, on motion of Mr. Flight, G. F\ PAtUHSti, Esq., was called to the Chair, and S. M. Thompson, appointed Secretary. The Chairman, on taking his scat, explained in a brief manner the objects of tho meeting. — After which, on motion, it was Resolved, That a ComraitlC'3 of six. he ap - pointed by tho Chair, to adopt measures for the celebration ol the approaching Anniversary of American Independence, and that they report the same to an adjourned meeting, tu be called by the Chairman. The Chair then appointed the following gen tlctnan Ic compose said Committee, viz : Messrs. S. W. Thompson, R. Philip, A. G. Bull, Hight, Riley, and McAllister. On motion, the Chairman of the meeting was added to the Committee. The meeting was then addressed by several gentlemen, after which the following resolutions were unanimously adopted ; Jiesolved, That as a body, wc feel a deep iu tetest in all that concerns Mechanics ; and with the view of keeping up a better feeling among durselves, we are anxious to form a Mechanics’ Society, tu be composed only of Mechanics. Jiesolved, That a Committee of five bo ap pointed by the Chair, to wait on the President of i the former Society, chartered by the Legislature, with a view of resuscitating the same, cither with 1 its old constitution, or a new one, to be formed by ourselves, with such of the old members as still wish to adhere to said Society ; and that said I Committee report to uu adjourned mooting. 1 The following gentlemen were the above resolution, to compose the CoinimHkc, viz : Messrs.

I’. Parish, Chairman. ( Samuel M. Thompson, Secretary. j ■ — , For the Chronicle and Sentinel. .City Arsenal. j I have noticed two or three communications jm relation to a City Arsenal. I think objections to any of the bJlfatioiis 1 ninncd. 1 agree with your correspondent, “Vi i gil,” in saying that “wc da not want an At-! \ scnal enclosed by private dwellings. The more j 1 open the belter ; so that all who approach it may see what dangers surround it, and when once possessed by the citizens, that they may rtp 1 all i < ; lawless approaches to it. It should l>o accessi ble on all sides—first to give a more ready en trance'to citizens from all quarters, and secondly to multiply the force necessary to repel the citi zens from it. Its fortifications should be designed, not accidental.” I differ, however, altogether with this wri ter, in the location that is to accomplish these objects. He recommends Mrs. Camliold’s lot, which is in the midst of piivatc buildings, is consequently the opposite of what ho himself recommends, and for all the purposes of an Arse nal, is every way objectionable. I presume there arc none of our citizens but will say that if we arc to subject omselves at all to the heavy expense of erecting such an establishment, it is indispensable that it should be of easy access to those for whose safety and protection it is de-< signed, and perfectly fortified against any assail ants. To accomplish this, let it be located away from piivale dwellings, close to tho city—say on the commons, and opposite to about the centre of the city ; lot it be surrounded by a strong and massy wall, and a ditch in front; the space inside the wall would make it commodious enough lot the protection of any number who might resort there. You will then have combined all the objects in view—being open in every direction, any danger approaching from any quartoi could be seen, and timely alarm given to the citizens, and those whoso safety it is intended to secure, would obtain easy access and protection. Such, at least, are the views of Another Citizen. From our Correspondent. Washington, June 18th, 1838. In the House to-day, as soon us the journal was read, Mr. McKay, of N. C., moved to reconsider the vote, by which a portion of a petition from Francis P. Blair, of the “Globe” referred to Uio Committee on Post Offices and Post Hoads, hud been referred to a select Committee. Mr. Thomas, of Md., thought as serious char- ' ges had been made against tho petitioner which had been sanctioned by two members on that ' floor, that a select Committee should bo instituted 1 to examine into that portion of the petition which refers to those charges. Tho memorial was then read and proved to be a long argumentative paper embracing three al most distinct matters. It first prays Congress to 1 relievo the petitioner from the payment of a bond for a defaulting Postmaster. It then states that the Postmaster General had kept back ’.be sum of SISOO for printing done for that Department, on the grounds of tho illegality, of the job and aL 1 so as in part payment of the sum for which lir.un was responsible as security for tho defaulting Postmaster. The paper concludes with praying Congress to examine into these claims and also, into the way in which the printing in that office had been conducted—evidently alluding to tho charges in Crockett’s letter. The memorial being read, after some remarks from Messrs. Brings and Hopkins on llie propri ety of referring the entire memorial to lho Com mittee on Post Offices and Post Hoads, tho previous questriTi was demanded, hut withdrawn for tiro purpose of allowing Mr. Crockett, of Tenn., to myke some remarks. That member then expressed bis indifference as lo which Committee the paper was sent. In his opinion,the petitioner never intended, when he first presented it, of ever having it thus di-posed of. He believed it to Ire a mere manoeuvre ti> white wash the iniquities of his paper. Mr. Crockett, I after saying that he was no doubt alluded to, by ' Mr. Thomas in the remark that two members ! had sanctioned tho certain charges against tiro petition, proceeded to comment upon the publi cation in the “Globe" of u letter written by him lo one of his constituents, in which he stales that numerous copies ot tire “Extra-Globe'’ are franked in Congress and printed at the ex pense of the Public Treasury. The letter, ho said, was a private one and sent in repiy to an impertinent one from a blind follower of party, who, being a member of a State Legislature, he could not suppose, would be guilty of publishing it. But it was sent to a Nashville paper, then by showing that every thing was considered consis tent wilh-duty, which might prop the sinking fortunes of the administration. There was noth, ing in that letter which he did not believe and which bad not been repeated before in that House. He hail simply expressed an opinion, which he did not dream would be published. If a commit tee properly regulated were appointed to inquire ! into these charges, ho would glory in such an in vestigation, but such an idea would be absurd, under the present organization of the House, when he could get nothing but a packed Jury. Mr. C. concludes with saying that his constitu ents would demand no higher evidence that ho bad done his duty, than lo see him thus abused by the filthy organ of tho administration. ' The call for the previous question was then renewed, and tho vote was finally reconsidered ' by a vote of 105 ayes to 93 noes, Mr Hopkins moved to refer that portion of the memorial respecting the claims of the peti j ' tioners to the Committee on Host Offices and ' Post Hoads, which, after a desultory debate, was adopted, and that portion praying for an inquiry 1 respecting the charges in Crocket’s Idler, was ' referred lo a select Committee by a vote of 101 ; yeas lo 100 noes, with instructions for institu ting art Inquiry into the printing of all tho Public ' Departments. The House then devoted tho rest of tire silting . till the recess, lo tho reception of petitions, &c. After the recess the. House went into Committee 'on the bill fur the establishment of Post Routes. J In the Senate, Mr Buchanan presented six | raemdrtals from the citizens of tho city and coun ty of Philadelphia, praying for the passage of tho Sub Treasuty Hill and remonstrating against the { establishment of a National Hank. Also, a re' | | monstrance from certain citizens of Philddolphia against the establishment of a National 'Copyright ( Law. The former were laid on the table, and j the latter referred to the Committee on Patents Also, a memorial from citizens of the District of j Columbia, recommending Congress to send a Diplomatic Agent lo Hayli. Laid on the table;. Mr. Tallmadok, on leave, introduced a bill for the abolishment of imprisonment for debt, which was read twice and referred. On motion of Mr. Buchanan, the Senate took • up the bill tor running the North Eastern Bourn dary Line Mr, Buchanan spoke at some length , in opposition to the bill, he granted that its ini , evitable tendency was to produce war. Mr. Davis supported the bill, and Mr. Wil. liams, of Maine, here spoke on the same ide. , The Senate went into Executive business. M ’ 1 Tin; Pulaski. A very general impression has gone abroad , that this ill-fated boot was running against lime, | for the purpose of deciding a bet of a consider a- , ble. amount of money. In conversing with Air. Hlbl ert, bo pledges himself that ho was unaware of any such bet, nor was the boat going at any , more than her regular epee:!, that of about Uj / uuur- lie expresses atmselt ilffeuterlly oi opinion that the cause of the disaster was a want ot water in the boiler, which was entirely owing lo the negligence of lire Assistant Engi neer, who was in charge ot the Engine at the time. Mr. Hibbcrt, is himself an experienced engi neer, having lieen employed in that capacity on the \ irginia, SouthCarolina, and Pulaski, and had the entire confidence of all the officers of tho res pective boats. He would, therefore, have been informed if any extra speed had boon put on tho boat, and his assistance and advice would have boiln required. From our own know ledge ol him, ye are sure that he would not con - ceal the. fact nfiw, if he was aware of it. The steam Jacket Neptune, left hero yesterday lor and Capt. Peunoycr intended lo pass over the qpot where the Pulaski sunk, in or der lo ascertain if there was any part of bet yet afloat, to which a human being might be clinging ol which, hcfvover, there can be hardly any prospect. Tho Revenue Cutter will also I avo here this day, oit the rjaino errand.— Charleston Courier From the N. 1. lit raid, June 18. Cleat \\ csteru Arrived. N cry early yesterday morning tho Great Wes tern dune up our harbor in lino style, having been only fourteen days and a half from dock to dock. She left Bristol on the evening of the 2d of dune. By the politeness of Captain Hoskin, out news collector was allowed to board her in the lay about four o’clock in the morning, and before six all our copious English files were on our table, including several valuable loiters from Mr. Bennett, written between the day of his landing in England, the 19th of May, and the 2d of June the day tho Great Western left. That excellent slcam ship, tho Sirius us wo learn from one of Mr. Bennett’s letters, made the passage out in nineteen days to the time of land ing her passengers at Falmouth, or only seven, teen days front land to laird. Two days out from New York she encountered most violent head winds which holed for live days, great fault was found with the coal which was shipped in New York. The Sirius left London on Iter return voyage to New York at ten o’clock on the nigh of Saturday, the 26th of May;—she reachedt Cork in forty eight hours, being the shortest run on record for that distance. Tho Cork lle/wr ler, ol Tuesday, tho 29 of Alay, said that she was to leave Cork for New Yoik on Thursday, tho 31st of May. Consequently wo may expect her every .hour. The day after she left Sandy Hook she passed the Siddons, but we do not see any account of the arrival of the Siddons in Eng land. Tin; SI. James, which sailed with the Sirius and Siddons, reached Deal on tho 31st ol May. The Great Western made the passage out in fifteen days and nine hours. The very latest by the Great Western. London, Ist June, 1838, ) Seven o’clock, P. M. A I write this from the North and South Amctio can Coffee House, the groat centre of all the mo netary and commercial intelligence in London. No event of tiny magnitude has taken place, beyond what I have already given in my other let ters. American securities drag very heavily along, even in -spite of the great plenliuess of mo ney. In I lio evening papers of this day, which 1 semi yon, will bo found the quotations. From several quarters, great efforts ate making against the character of out securities. 1 have further learned that only two of the Ame rican suspended houses have yet declared divi dends. I have already mentioned Wiggins, ds. per pound—and I now add Grant and Go., who have declared 10s. Vet the Bank of England gives out that the houses which they took hold of, aro proceeding very well in the process of re alization. In spile ol this assurance, it is general ly believed that the old houses, that suffered in 1837, will recover slowly. The greatest anlieipa lions arc formed of the new trade, constructed on new principles. 1 have every reason to believe that tho opera, lions hero in American Slate Secuiitics will, in a year or two, begin to rival those of any other kind. Heretofore, we, in the United States, have taken too little pains to describe and make public the nature and character of our public resources. With a correct daily report and exposition of our stale resources, tiro capitalists of Europe would soon bo convinced of I lie superior character of our slocks, and 1 have no doubt in the natural progress of events, somelhirtg of the kind will, spring up in a short time. Some tears are beginning lo be entertained here of the next crops. If such fears should be warranted by coining facts, the money market and exchanges will be affected more than any one would believe. In the present stale of the ele ments of industry on this side, I would advise all llie energies of the United States to bo directed to the dovelopcmcnt of their agricultural and mine ral wealth. Without more attention to the culti vation of our soil, the money • xpended on canals and rail roads will be rendered inefficient. Wo expect for some weeks here a season of quiet in lire American trade, until the effect of tho recent exportation of specie is seen on tho currency of the other side. Every day I hear complaints against Mr. Bid dle for engaging in the cotton trade. I have en deavored lo explain his position as well as possi ble, by reminding them that his connection with tin' cotton trade was a contingency growing out of his disposition of the branch banks south and south west, on the expiration of the old charter. The banks to which ho sold his branches, were compelled to go into tho market in 1837, in order lo bring tiro crops lo Europe.—and tiro United S' Bank had to receive these consignments through their agents at Liverpool, in order to realize their assets. It is very evident, however, that the mer cantile body here will not brook lung the opera tions of any banking institution in the cotton mar kol, and every one expects Mr. Biddle to with draw alter the present season. My next letters will be written up to tho Hth iti-st., and sent by the Liverpool packet. I shall have collected a large mass of monetary and com mercial information by that time—lo say nothing of fashionable. My opportunities and facilities increase every day. Indeed, lam astonished my self at the success I hive met with ill finding out the exact and true stale of affairs. ■BBfVMtfw m K^di'/wnn'iM**r^ r /v/MW<ira}UMDsirniMragg|| THE CHEKOiiEE-S. Executive Department, J AMleilgeville, sth Alurch, 1838. $ To the Hun. Jew H. Poinsett: Sir; — l learn, from information received from every part of the Cherokee country in (his State, that the Indians are still building and preparing for another crop; and that they are not yet con vinced that the treaty will bo modified, or that the Government will enforce it. If force is applied lo remove them, with their present feelings and opinions, difficulty an J blood shed may be apprehended. Now that Hess and tin; Cherokee Delegation must have lost all hope of preventing the execu tion ol the treaty, is it not possible to induce them to return borne, convince their people that their interest and safety require them to join their friend , in lire West, and themselves undertake to effect their voluntary removal in ilieir own way 1 The I informed -persons redding among the Cherokees, express the opinion, that Boss can, if 1 lie will, remove hi- people at once. To avoid the great expense to the Government, and ‘pro sofve the lives and properly of our citizens and ; the Indians, which may lie sacrificed if the treaty is executed by force, tire Government can well afford to pay a very liberal price for the voluntary | and immediate removal of the Indians. To ena ble Ross and the chiefs to effect this abject, I be lieve it to be necessary for them to return home, 1 see their people, and let them be satisfied that their 1 efforts to change tho treaty have been honest, 1 though unavailing: the Cherokees aro so suspi cious ot their Chiefs, that even Ross, as entirely as he has their confidence, might loose all power to serve them, if he attempted to make a contract with lire Government for their emigration before 1 they were consulted, and their approval of the measure obtained. If the Government should 1 ascertain upon Boss’s return home, that ho has the I power, and will undertake the removal of his peo. pie, the terms of tho contract could be agreed upon without difficulty oi delay. It the pertiua ’ city of Ross should cranio any difficulty, it might be obviated by making no reference in Iris con tract lo tiro treaty. The very greal interest which n portion of the people ol Ibis Stale have in this subject, must be my justification to you for these suggestions. Very respectfully, yours, &c. GEORGE R. GILMER. KAEOUTIVE DEPARTMENT, j Atilledgcvillc, 9lh March, 1838. y To Mr. John Ross: Sir;—The President having declined receiving any further propositions of tho Cherokee delega tion for setting aside or alluring the treaty, and your memorial lo Congress having been rejected by the House of Representatives, all hope of suc cess in your efforts to effect that object must be at au end. The policy which you may adopt under lltesc circumstances, is of groat importance, not only to your own people, but tiro numerous white population residing among them. The law of necessity, or if you please, tho harsh and unyielding will of superior power, has determined that the portion of the Cherokees re maining in the Slates, must remove lo lire coun try provided for them in the West. How will you meet this necessity, against which you cun no longer contend! Will you bond lo tho blast to rice with renewed energies when it passes away, or by resisting it sink beneath its force! If those were questions which concerned yourself alone, the dictates of pride, or determined self, will might disregard consequences, Uutlhe peace and happiness of thousands may be involved in your course. Your unwearied and unwavering exertions in behalf of your people, have been unavailing, except lo secure to you their highest confidence. Tho lime has arrived when that confidence enables you lo render IJiVin the most important toivico. You must bo aware that the Cherokees are not preparing to emigrate; that they are yet hoping that yon and their other chiefs will obtain a modification of the treaty ken as to . permit them lo remain where they are; that when the time, arrives for removing them, force mast be applied —and that greal suffering, the loss of many lives, and the destruction el much proper. , ty, will probably be the consequence, unless in „ the meantime they can be convinced thatall ex- I pcclalions of retaining their present possessions , are delusory, and do voluntarily what must oilier - wise be effected by compulsion. It requires no strong invention to imagine the suffering and distress which must be inflicted upon your people, if hunted up by an undisciplined soldiery, and forced from their homos.—Yon, at least, stand in no need of (lie discrjplion. Voui . people aro looking to you to direct them in this their greatest difficulty. You can save them from the evils that threaten thorn, by persuading them lo unites with their friends in the West, before the time arrives when, by the terms of the treaty, force can be used. I know how easily the motives of the best ac tions may bo misrepresented. Tho Cherokees have been rendered so suspicious of all contracts with the Government, that I believe it lo be im portant even lo your success in removing litem, to return home and convince litem dial all hopes of retaining their present possessions aro vain; that your efforts for that purpose have proved fruitless, and that a proper regard Jot their inter est ami safely require that lliey should no longer' resist tho views of the Government. If, upon do ing so, you find an acquiescence (as I am i-ali lied , you will) upon the part of your people, the Go vernment will unquestionably furnish ample means to remove them, and a liberal compensa tion in addition, if they go without tho aid ol contractors and agents. Sir, 1 could not write to you, upon this subject, but with tbo fullest consciousness that what 1 say is in good lailh, and my motives such as your own people would approve. It is my anxious desire that the Cherokees should be treated with humanity. lam using every exertion to prevent all violations of their rights of possession and pro pei ty. Lis true that 1 have long been through ly convinced that their present situation is not the best suited for their continued improvement and preservation as a distinct people, but I be lieve I have at all times adopted tiro kindest poli cy towards them which rny official station would permit. 1 once saved the lives of two of our Indian peo ple. It has ever remained a green sunny spot on the lield of my life. What a deep and abiding source of happiness it will bo to you, if you shall save many lives, by leading your people peaceful, ly to ilieir homes in tho Wesl! Very respectfully, yours, &c. GEORGE R.

Gilmeii; Sir—Your Excellency, I hope, will long ere now have been aware ot the reasons why I have not sooner, personally acknowledged lire receipt of your loiter of the 9th of March. To the Honorable Mr. Dawson, who called upon mo to sjy he had received a copy by the same post, I explained myself fully. 1 presume ho has men- Boned my conversation. 1 need therefore only repeal in general terms, that I can see no neces sity whatever for any collision between your citizens and the Cherokees, as I run making every effort in my power lo accomplish such ar rangements as may relieve (ieurgi-i, in obtaining lire utmost extent of her do-ire among us, from the remolest pretext id employing force. It i - , my wilt to settle all dillieullii s by amicable trea ty, and on perfect tea.unable tcmis I sincere. »j ly hope that my earnest efforts for that end may ultimately prosper, ns one word of the Executive is now enough to save the expense and inevita ble danger which must result from the employ, ment ol un uncalled-fir army. Should blood ho spill, therefore, which 1 nu.sl can never be thi* case, the blame can never rest on ih. U ith regard to my immediate n mm into tho Chetokco nation, 1 differ with your Excellency, and am sustained in my dissent by many who have better opportunities than cither of us, to understand any thing which hears upon thu case It 1 were to desert a post assigned me by the Uhe rokees, and a lino of duly prescribed hy their understood expectations, they would ho lost in wonder and distrust. They expect me to super intend their interests hero'til the seat -of the Uni ted (slates Government, ns the source from which tin ir won I er Woe must emanate, and as tho only source to which they can look for protection, lU ease of need, „ They would ho sorry to see mo among them while our affairs remain thus un settled. Indeed my appearance among them, on the mission you suggest, would at this moment produce inextricable confusion, of which the con sequences might be awful. ExnetlTlVli DeI’AHTMENT, Milledgcvillo, Mlh April, IStIH. $ To the Hon. Jot-.r. U, Poinsett : bun:—l hope that your severe, illness, about which every one having business to tiausnct with the War Ihqmrlmcnt, must like myself feel great concern, will have parsed away hefme this Ulus. 1 send you an extract of a letter just received from boss, in unswor to a cmnmnmculion which I addressed him at the same time 1 wrote to you 1 am convinced that I was mistaken in my endea vor to make him an instrument for doing good. The loss of all hope of attaining the co opera tion of Koss, in removing the t'heiakees, has added to my anxiety that the most ample means should ho used to secure our citizens from Iho effects ol his machinations. The troops which are ordered ir.lo the Cherokee county, horn this and the adjoining States, being taw and undis' ciplined, and scattered over the country in small detachments, will stand very much in need of a regular force, to give confidence and success lo their movements. Permit me lo urge the importance of concen trating in the Cherokee country, in ns short time us possible, the whole of the United Stales army which can with propriety bo drawn Item any other service. The Indiana are as yet entirely quiet, but they are not enrolling for emigration. Those who have enrolled are refusing to leave the country, and they are generally continuing their prepara tions for another crop. Koss’ refusal to return home after the conclusive action of both Houses ol Congress upon his merit trial, renders it certain that force must he used in removing his people. 1 hi more controlling that force may he, (ho less will Ito the mischievous effects of the opposition of Koss and his ft lends. Very respectfully, yours, &c. GEORGE R. GILMER. I run Ihc Wenlern Georgian, JunnVi, Tin; (Jhcrokcu Indians. The troops in litis country for the collection ol the Cherolcccs, arc doing well; already have they collected nearly the entire nation, especi ally in Georgia. Front what wo can learn, wctlo not suppose that there are live hundred Indians at this time in Georgia, out of Ihc control of the troops; so far as this county is concerned, we are stisfied that (liere arc not ten Cherokces in it, running at large; so far as information has reached us, mid ao tut-an ourknow/edge extends all has been quiet, peace and harmony. Some of the Indians .appear to some extent, discom fited, hut the great mass appear cheerful and' satisfied. We most gladly congratulate the citizens of this country, with the bright pros pect of a speedy relief from the heavy clogs and trammels, which they have borne with patience for the last six years. We now see the day in full view, when the entire Chero kee Nation East, will strike its line of march to the selling sun, far beyond tlie great Mis sissippi. We give them a hearty shake by the band, in the spirit of peace and frendship'; hid them a pleasant journey; a welcome and joyous reception by thcir'brelliren west; a happy home, and a quiet wigwam, so long “as water runs,lor grass glows,’’ The agents appointed for this county hy the superinten dent of Ihe Cherokee emigration, to sell and dispose of the Indian's properly, have nearly completed the duties assigned to them, and will soon be enabled lo make their report lo the superintendent. We learn that the properly has generally sold at a fair price. While every thing connected with Cherokee emigration, is in the happy tide of prosperity, wc regret, very much, lo say the least of it, to see the very imprudentand improper course ol the executive of the United .Stales, towards John Koss, and los delegation, The time nev er was when such a course would he proper, hut of all other limes, this is the most auspici ous, 'Jus policy lo Koss may bej fraught with consequences, both lo the white and red man, which the Executive may hereafter have much cause to regret Wc’ knoW there is no prospect of the success ol any policy, yet it is unpleasant lo witness it. Georgians have too much at slake in securing the quiet of their newly acquired territory, to listen to Execu tive councils, or the “proposed arrangements,’ by tile Secretary of War with Koss and his delegation, or yield to Indian exactions. Hut we have done for the present, and refer to our first page. Cor further information in regard to this “ proposed arrangement” between the Secretary of War and the Koss delegation. CO.IIMUR «AI,.
