From the New-Jersey Journal.
Mr. Kollock,
Observing, in your last, an article of intelligence respecting an outrage committed on the dwelling-house of the Rev. Mr. Elmer of Tarkey; left some improper impression should be made upon the minds of those ignorant of the circumstances of the case, you are requested to insert.
That, some time since, the Rev. Mr. Elmer was regularly dismissed, in answer to his own request, from his congregation; that there were two parties in the congregation, and two sets of trustees, or persons claiming right to possession of the parsonage: In this parsonage house the Rev. Mr. Elmer lived; each party had its views in possessing themselves of this parsonage. Whilst Mr. Elmer continued to possess the property, one party was satisfied, but the other party wishing to possess the parsonage, either for the purpose of strengthening their own interest, for the purpose of repairs, or otherwise to use it for the general interests of the congregation, presumed to dismantle the house by taking off the doors and shutters, expecting that the house becoming thus untenable, would be left, and thus become open to their own possession. All acquainted with the circumstances know, that the struggle is on the subject of property, and that no personal insult to Mr. Elmer, as a private gentleman, or as a minister, was designed.
Any Printer, having inserted the communication alluded to, is requested to notice this explanation.
UNITED STATES.
SOUTH-WESTERN TERRITORY.
KNOXVILLE, Oct. 11.
On the 3th ult. the Governor prorogued the session of the General Assembly to the first Monday in October 1795; then to commence at this place. Many valuable laws were passed, and the greatest unanimity and good understanding prevailed between the Governor and the other two branches of the Legislature.
On the 2th ult. arrived here Miss Alice Thompson and Mrs. Caffray; of Nashville, by way of Rock Landing, in Georgia, from a captivity of upwards of two years with the Creeks, who inform, that notwithstanding Mr. Seagrove's repeated assurances of the peaceful determinations of that nation, that they refused to deliver to him sundry citizens of the United States, prisoners among them, in particular, the child of Alexander, taken from near this place, in Sept. 1793, when the rest of the family were massacred, was killed by a Creek warrior, by the stroke of a tomahawk, three days after his arrival in the nation—Miss Thompson, soon after arriving in the nation, was purchased from her captors for 800 wt. of deer leather, equal to 166 dollars and 66 2-3 cents, by a white trader, who treated her with humanity; But Mrs. Caffray was treated as a slave, and frequently scratched and torn with Gar-Teeth, by way of punishment, and made to hoe corn, beat meal, and to perform other duties of slavery, and when released, obliged to leave her child behind.
Can Algerine Slavery be more horrid!
Report says, that Double Head, one of the Respectable Cherokee chiefs, who visited Philadelphia last Summer, on his return, boasted, "That he had shed as much "human blood as he could swim in."—He has killed only citizens of the United States.
Murders and depredations committed by Indians, in the district of Mero, continued; an account of which was this day received by an express from Gen. Robertson.
September 12.—Roberts, a girl, killed and scalped on Red-River, Tennessee county.
14. Thomas Réson and Wife, killed and scalped on Red on Red River, Tennessee County, and their House plundered.
The same day, a party of Cherokees fell in with John Henly, as he passed down the Ohio, near the mouth, and robbed him of one thousand dollars in cash, and many valuable articles of merchandise.
15.—Chambers, killed and scalped and Joseph Davis wounded, within 12 miles of Nashville.
October 1. Thomas Bledsoe, son of Col. Anthony Bledsoe, killed and scalped near the house of the late Col. Isaac Bledsoe, whose father, brother uncle &
cousin, have all suffered under the tomahawk and scalping knife.
Is it possible that Congress can longer remain blind and deaf to the sufferings and cries of the people of this Territory.
Extracts from the Journal of the House of Representatives.
Territory of the States of America south of the river Ohio.
THE MEMORIAL OF THE Legislative Council and House of Representatives.
To the Congress of the United States of America.
IT appearing from the proceedings of your late session, upon the memorial of the people of the Territory, that both the Senate and House of Representatives agreed in the propriety and necessity of extending effectual protection to the exposed frontiers of this country, though they differed in the mode, we are induced to hope the subject will again be taken up at an early day of the approaching session, and that unanimity, as to the mode will take place.
WE have now to inform you, that since the date of that Memorial (February 26th) the Creeks and Cherokees have not ceased to kill the citizens of the United States, resident in this Territory, nor pillage the country, but have continued to do both as usual, with an unremitting hand; in proof of which we refer you to the annexed list of murders and thefts committed since that period.
WE are truly sensible that the motives of government in forming treaties with those two nations, and in giving them large presents and annuities, were not the love of Indians, but with the hope that such proofs of friendship would produce a return of it, on their part towards the citizens of the United States, and that thereby a real peace and good understanding would be established between the parties. But, alas! we by dreadful, woeful experience, know it has had the contrary effect.—Instead of viewing such conduct on the part of the United States as an evidence of friendship towards them, they have considered it as an evidence of fear, or as a tribute paid to their superior prowess in war; and, thus viewing it, it has served only to encourage them to kill additional numbers of your exposed fellow-citizens. Fear, not love, is the only means by which Indians can be governed, and until they in turn are made to feel the horrors of war, they will not know the value of peace, nor observe the treaties they may form with the United States.
In discharge of the duty we owe our constituents, and ourselves, we have made to you this memorial, confiding, that you, in discharge of that which you owe to your's and yourselves, will take measures to punish those two faithless and blood-thirsty nations, the Creeks and Cherokees, according to the usage and custom of nations, and to secure the persons and property of the citizens of the United States, resident in this Territory.

Brickett, and inspected by Major Coffin, after which the officers of the Regiments invited the officers of other Regiments, then present, to retire with them to Lieut.

Elihu Phinney the ingenious Editor of the "Columbian Mercury"—a paper lately published in Canaan, State of New-York—having determined to remove his office to COOPERSTOWN, Otsego county, concludes a valedictory address on the occasion in the following words:—"Those who are governed more by impulse than reason, may perhaps blame the Editor for those strong features of federalism with which his paper has been marked, but the censures of such men will never intimidate him: he will ever cherish the true patriots whose principles tend to connect the Peace and Happiness, with the Honor and Dignity of our Country. Having spent his youth in the cause of Freedom, with such success that he can now participate with his fellow-citizens in the blessings of a free government—guarded by a constitution, which has excited the admiration and envy of surrounding Nations, he will hardly be persuaded to barter felicity and protection to dearly earned, and so well secured, for the guilty confusion and perilous jeopardy of Anarchical and temporizing Clubs."
Wishing health, happiness and Common Sense to every class of Americans, and hoping that Truth and Reason may take place of Obsinacy and Error, the Editor of the Columbian Mercury respectfully takes his leave, and for the present quits the Stage as an

GENERAL ORDERS.
THE army will resume its march on the morning of the 4th, at the hour of eight, when a signal gun will be fired. They will advance in two columns composed of the respective wings. The right column will take the route by Lodge's, to Budd's ferry, under the command of his Excellency Governor Mifflin, who will please to take the most convenient situation in the vicinity of that place for the accommodation of the troops, and wait further orders. The left column will proceed on the route to Peterfon's, on the east side of Parkinson's ferry, under the orders of major general Morgan: they will march by the left in the following manner:—Light corps; cavalry; artillery; Virginia brigade; Maryland brigade; and the baggage to follow each corps, and the public stores of every kind, in the rear

the Virginia brigade. On the first day, the light corps and artillery will march to Washington Bottom, fourteen miles; the Virginia brigade to Peter-son's farm, twelve miles; the cavalry under major Lewis, will move with the commander in chief—the bullocks to precede the army at day light. On the second day the column will proceed to the camp directed to be marked out between Parkinson's and Budd's ferries. Should brigadier general Smith find the second day's march rather too much, he will be pleased to divide the same into two days. The quarter master general will immediately take measures for the full supply of forage and straw, at the different stages. The commissary will place the necessary supply of provisions at particular intermediate stages, where it will be necessary. It must invariably be the duty of the officer of the day, to place guards over the straw as soon as the van reaches the ground, and to see the same fairly divided amongst the troops, which must be in the following ratio:—Forty five loads to the light troops; forty five loads to the Maryland brigade, and sixty loads to the Virginia brigade; to the cavalry six loads, and to the artillery four loads. The brigadiers and commandants of corps, will give the necessary orders that the regimental, field, staff and company pay rolls, for one month's pay, from their first commencement of service, be immediately made out; for which purpose the regimental pay-masters, will call on the Inspector and muster master general, for the proper forms; which pay rolls are to be examined with the muster rolls, and counter-signed by the inspector and muster master generals, before application is made to the pay master general. The inspector and muster master generals of the respective line, will also make pay rolls for the general staff, to be counter-signed by the commander in chief previous to payment.
SPEECH OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, TO BOTH HOUSES OF CONGRESS. NOVEMBER 19.
FELLOW-CITIZENS of the SENATE, and of the House of REPRESENTATIVES,
WHEN we call to mind the gracious indulgence of Heaven, by which the American people became a nation; when we survey the general prosperity of our country, and look forward to the riches, power and happiness, to which it seems destined; with the deepest regret do I announce to you that during your recess, some of the citizens of the United States, have been found capable of an insurrection. It is due, however, to the character of our government, and to its stability, which cannot be shaken by the enemies of order, freely to unfold the course of this event.
But the impression, which this moderation made on the discontented, did not correspond, with what it deserved. The arts of delusion were no longer confined to the efforts of designing individuals. The very forbearance to press prosecutions was misinterpreted into a fear of urging the execution of the laws; and associations of men began to denounce threats against the officers employed. From a belief, that, by a more formal concert their operation might be defeated; certain self-created societies assumed the tone of condemnation. Hence, while the greater part of Pennsylvania itself were conforming themselves to the acts of excise; a few counties were resolved to frustrate them.
It was now perceived, that every expectation from the tenderness which had been hitherto pursued, was unavailing, and that further delay could only create an opinion of impotency or irresolution in the government. Legal process was therefore delivered to the Marshal, against the rioters and delinquent distillers.
No sooner was he understood to be engaged in this duty, than the vengeance of armed men was aimed at his person, and the person and property of the inspector of the revenue. They fired upon the marshal, arrested him—and detained him, for some time, as a prisoner. He was obliged by the jeopardy of his life, to renounce the service of other process, on the west side of the Allegheny mountain; and a deputation was afterwards sent to him to demand a surrender of that which he had served. A numerous body repeatedly attacked the house of the inspector, seized his papers of office, and finally destroyed by fire, his building and whatsoever they contained. Both of these officers, from a just regard to their safety, fled to the seat of government; it being avowed, that the motives to such outrages were to compel the resignation of the Inspector—to withstand by force of arms the authority of the United States, and thereby to extort a repeal of the laws of excise, and an alteration in the conduct of Government.
Upon the testimony of these facts, an associate justice of the supreme court of the United States, notified to me, that "in the counties of Washington and Allegheny in Pennsylvania, laws of the United States were opposed, and the execution thereof obstructed by combinations, too powerful to be suppressed by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, or by the powers vested in the Marshal of that district." On this call, momentous in the extreme, I sought and weighed, what might best subdue the crisis. On the one hand, the Judiciary was pronounced to be stripped of its capacity to enforce the laws:—Crimes, which reached the very existence of social order, were perpetrated without controul;—The friends of Government were insulted, abused and overawed into silence, or an apparent acquiescence; and to yield to the treasonable fury of so small a portion of the United States, would be to violate the fundamental principle of our Constitution, which enjoins that the will of the majority shall prevail.—On the other, to array citizen against citizen—to publish the dishonor of such excesses—to encounter the experience, and other embarrassments of so distant an expedition; were steps too delicate; too closely interwoven with many affecting considerations to be lightly adopted. I postponed, therefore, the summoning of the militia immediately into the field; but I required them to be held in readiness, that if my anxious endeavors to reclaim the deluded, and to convince the malignant of their danger, should be fruitless; military force might be prepared to act, before the scoundrels should be too far advanced.
My proclamation of the 7th of August last was accordingly issued, and accompanied by the appointment of commissioners, who were charged to repair to the scene of insurrection. They were authorized to confer with any bodies of men or individuals. They were instructed to be candid and explicit, in stating the sensations, which had been excited in the Executive, and his earnest wish to avoid a resort to co-ercion; to represent, however, that without submission, co-ercion must be the resort; but to invite them, at the same time, to return to the demeanor of faithful citizens, by such accommodations as lay within the sphere of executive power—pardon too, was tendered to them by the government of the United States, and that of Pennsylvania, upon no other condition, than a satisfactory assurance of obedience to the laws.
Although the report of the Commissioners marks their firmness and abilities, and must unite all virtuous men, by showing that the means of conciliation have been exhausted; all of those who committed or abetted the tumults, did not subscribe the mild form, which was proposed as the atonement; and the indications of a peaceable temper were neither sufficiently general, nor conclusive, to recommend or warrant, the farther suspension of the march of the militia.
Thus the painful alternative could not be discarded. I ordered the militia to march, after once more admonishing the Insurgents in my Proclamation of the 25th September last.
It was a task too difficult to ascertain with precision the lowest degree of force, competent to the quelling of the Insurrection. From a respect, indeed, to economy, and the ease of my fellow citizens, belonging to the militia, it would have gratified me to accomplish such an estimate.
My very great reluctance to ascribe too much importance to the opposition, had its extent been accurately seen, would have been a decided inducement to the smallest efficient numbers. In this uncertainty, therefore, I put into
motion fifteen thousand men, as being an army, which, according to all human calculation, would be prompt, and adequate in every view; and might perhaps, rendering resistance desperate, prevent the effusion of blood. Quotas had been assigned to the States of New-Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia; the governor of Pennsylvania having declared on this occasion, an opinion which justified a requisition to the other states.
As commander in chief of the militia, when called into the actual service of the United States, I have visited the places of general rendezvous; to obtain more exact information, and to direct a plan for ulterior movements. Had there been room for a persuasion, that the laws were secure from obstruction; that the civil magistrate was able to bring to justice such of the most culpable, as have not embraced the proffered terms of amnesty, and may be deemed fit objects of example; that the friends to peace and good government were not in need of that aid and countenance, which they ought always to receive, and, I trust, ever will receive, against the vicious and turbulent; I should have caught with avidity the opportunity of restoring the militia to their families and home. But succeeding intelligence has tended to manifest the necessity of what has been done; it being now confessed by those, who were not inclined to exaggerate the ill conduct of the Insurgents, that their malevolence was not pointed merely to a particular law; but that a spirit inimical to all order, has actuated many of the offenders. If the state of things had afforded reason for the continuance of my presence with the army, it would not have been withheld. But every appearance affixing such an issue, as will redound to the reputation and strength of the United States, I have judged it most proper, to resume my duties at the seat of government; leaving the chief command with the Governor of Virginia.
Still, however, as it is probable, that in a commotion like the present, whatever may be the pretence, the purposes of mischief and revenge may not be laid aside; the stationing of a small force for a certain period, in the four western counties of Pennsylvania, will be indispensable, whether we contemplate the situation of those who are connected with the execution of the laws; or of others, who may have exposed themselves by an honorable attachment to them. Thirty days from the commencement of this session, being the legal limitation of the employment of the Militia, Congress cannot be too early occupied with this subject.
Among the discussions, which may arise from this aspect of our affairs, and from the documents which will be submitted to Congress, it will not escape their observation, that not only the Inspector of the Revenue, but other officers of the United States in Pennsylvania, have, from their fidelity in the discharge of their functions, sustained material injuries to their property. The obligation and policy of indemnifying them, are strong and obvious.
It may also merit attention, whether policy will not enlarge this provision to the retribution of other citizens, who, tho' not under the ties of office, may have suffered damage by their generous exertions for upholding the constitution and the laws. The amount, even if all the injured were included, would not be great; and on future emergencies, the Government would be amply repaid by the influence of an example, that he, who incurs a loss in its defence, shall find a recompence in its liberality.
While there is cause to lament, that occurrences of this nature should have disgraced the name, or interrupted the tranquility, of any part of our community, or should have diverted to a new application any portion of the public resources, there are not wanting real and substantial consolations for the misfortune. It has demonstrated, that our prosperity rests on solid foundations; by furnishing an additional proof, that my fellow-citizens understand the true principles of government & liberty. That they feel their inseparable union.—That notwithstanding all the devices which have been used to sway them from their interest and duty, they are now as ready to maintain the authority of the laws against licentious invasions, as they were to defend their rights against usurpation.
It has been a spectacle, displaying to the highest advantage, the value of republican government to behold the most and the least wealthy of our citizens standing in the same ranks, as private soldiers;—pre-eminently distinguished by being the army of the constitution; undeterred by a march of three hundred miles over rugged mountains, by the approach of an inclement season, or by any other discouragement. Nor ought I to omit to acknowledge the efficacious and patriotic co-operation, which I have experienced from the chief magistrates of the States, to which my requisitions have been addressed.
To every description indeed of citizens let praise be given. But let them persevere in their affectionate vigilance
over that precious depository of American happiness, the Constitution of the United States.
Let them cherish it too, for the sake of those, who from every clime are daily seeking a dwelling in our land. And when in the calm moments of reflection, they shall have retraced the origin and progress of the insurrection; let them determine, whether it has not been fomented by combinations of men, who, careless of consequences, and disregarding the unerring truth that those, who raise, cannot always appease a civil convulsion, have disseminated, from an ignorance or perversion of facts, suspicions, jealousies, and accusations of the whole government.
Having thus fulfilled the engagement, which I took, when I entered into office, "to the best of my ability to preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," on you Gentlemen, and the people by whom you are deputed, I rely for support.
In the arrangements, to which the possibility of a similar contingency will naturally draw your attention, it ought not to be forgotten, that the militia laws have exhibited such striking defects, as could not have been supplied but by the zeal of our Citizens. Besides the extraordinary expense and waste, which are not the least of the defects, every appeal to those laws is attended with a doubt on its full success.
The devising and establishing of a well regulated militia, would be a genuine source of legislative honor and a perfect title to public gratitude—I therefore entertain a hope, that the present session will not pass, without carrying to its full energy the power of organizing, arming, and disciplining the militia; and thus providing, in the language of the constitution for calling them forth to execute the laws of the union, suppress insurrections, and repel invasions.
As auxiliary to the state of our defence, to which Congress can never too frequently recur, they will not omit to enquire, whether the fortifications, which have been already licensed by law be commensurate with our exigencies.
The intelligence from the army under the command of Gen. Wayne, is a happy preface to our military operations against the hostile Indians north of the Ohio. From the advices which have been forwarded, the advance which he has made, must have damped the ardor of the savages, and weakened their obstinacy in waging war against the United States.
And yet, even at this late hour, when our power to punish them cannot be questioned, we shall not be unwilling to cement a lasting peace, upon terms of candour, equity, and good neighbourhood.
Towards none of the Indian tribes have overtures of friendship been spared. The Creeks in particular are covered from encroachment by the interposition of the General Government, and that of Georgia. From a desire also to remove the discontents of the Six Nations, a settlement, mediated at Presquille, on lake Erie, has been suspended, and an Agent is now endeavoring to rectify any misconception into which they may have fallen. But I cannot refrain from again pressing upon your deliberations the plan which I recommended at the last session, for the improvement of harmony with all the Indians within our limits; by the fixing and conducting of trading houses, upon the principles then expressed.
Gentlemen of the House of Representatives.
The time which has elapsed, since the commencement of our fiscal measures, has developed our pecuniary resources; so as to open the way for a definitive plan for the redemption of the Public Debt. It is believed, that the result is such, as to encourage Congress to consummate this work without delay. Nothing could more promote the permanent welfare of the nation, and nothing would be more grateful to our constituents.
Indeed, whatsoever is unfinished of our system of Public Credit, cannot be benefited by Procrastination, and as far as may be practicable, we ought to place that credit, on grounds, which cannot be distrusted, and to prevent that progressive accumulation of debt which must ultimately endanger all governments. An estimate of the necessary appropriations, including the expenditures, into which we have been driven by the insurrection, will be submitted to Congress.
Gentlemen of the Senate and of the House of Representatives.
The Mint of the United States has entered upon the coinage of the precious metals; and considerable sums of defective coins and bullion have been lodged with the Director by individuals. There is a pleasing prospect that the institution will, at no remote day, realize the expectation, which was originally formed of its utility.
In subsequent communications, certain circumstances of our intercourse with foreign nations, will be transmitted to Congress. However, it may not be unseasonable to announce, that my policy
in our foreign transactions has been, to cultivate peace with all the world—to observe Treaties with pure & absolute faith; to check every deviation from the line of impartiality—to explain what may have been misapprehended—and correct, what may have been injurious to any nation—and having thus acquired the right, to lose no time in acquiring the ability, to insist upon justice being done to ourselves.
Let us unite therefore, in imploring the Supreme Ruler of Nations to spread his holy protection over these United States:—to turn the machinations of the wicked to the confirming of our Constitution—to enable us at all times to root out internal sedition, and put invasion to flight—to perpetuate to our country that prosperity which his goodness has already conferred, and to verify the anticipations of this government being a safe guard to human rights.

A SUBSCRIPTION
Is opened for Printing the Theological Writings OF
Emanuel Swedenborg,
At Francis Bailey's Book Store, No. 116, Market Street, Philadelphia.
WHEN a sufficient number of persons take place, a meeting will be advertised to consider the most eligible mode for conducting the printing of such of the Works as shall be thought to be of the greatest utility in the first instance.
The following Treatises may be now had at Mr. Bailey's:
The Doctrine of Life, or the Spiritual Sense of the Ten Commandments. The Universal Theology of the New Church; which was foretold by the Lord in Daniel, chap. 7, v. 5, 13, 14, and in the Apocalypse, chap. 21, v. 1, 2, &c.
A Summary View of the Heavenly Doctrine of the New Jerusalem Church.
As various opinions have been entertained respecting these invaluable writings and yet no person by rational argument has been able to refute them, but instead the contrary has been incontestably demonstrated to discredit the honourable and enlightened Author, as well as his Works, we doubt not the candid and sincere enquirers after Truths of the highest importance, will seriously examine those Works for themselves, in which it is to be hoped, they being in the pursuit and love of the Truth for the sake of its native excellence and use, they will regard them as they justly deserve, and in the end receive both profit and delight.
