GCNERAL WiNTOSII TO GOVERNOR TROUP.

Creek Nation, April 12, 1826.
To Governor Troup.
I have taken the liberty of sending to you a memorial of oar
Chiefs to the Legislature of your state, and request the favoar of
you to Cause it to be laid before them with such marks of your ap•
probation as you may, in friendship towards us, think proper to
bestow.
In giving voluntarily our consent for the survey of the land to
the hoe treaty, we were actuated by motives of friendship purely
toward you, and toward your people. No consideration of a met.
cenary mule could be permitted to enter our breasts when a fame
was wired of us. particularly by your Excellency, and in behalf of
your people. We knew the great int portance it was to your people
to be ready to occupy the country immediately after our removal
from it, and have with true hearts of friendship acceded to your
request. We would have thought it disgraceful in us to attempt to
make a condition founded on your wants or desires, a price for oor
acquiescence. The opportunity presented itself, and we hope the
circumstance will have only the efleet to render ourselves worthy of
your esteem and friendship.
I remain your brother and (lend,

Dear General—ln one of your late letters you say somethirg
about the consent of the United States, or if the agent and the hoe.
tiles do not make opposition. Pray explain to me your meaning.
We have nothing to do with the United States, or the agent, or the
hostiles in this matter; all we want is the content of the friendly
Indians who made the treaty. It we wanted the content of the
United States we could ask it.

Sir Benjamin Wrench was a celebrated physician about
a century ago, in Norfolk. His fee at that period was two
guineas, a proof of the estitnation in which he was held.
On one occasion, haring received but a single guinea, he
' asked for a candle, though it was noon-day, and began to
search the room ; being asked what he was looking for. he
said, he " believed he had a choppped a guinea. The
patient took the hint, and aompleted the ususl sum. IV.
Monaey, who was a pupil to Dr. Wrench, pronounced him
the best physician that he had ever •known. He was ro
mild in his manner, and so gentle in his tone, that he mnt
by the name of " Silver Tongued Sir Benjamin." lie
was, we believe, the great grandfather of the present po-
pular actor.
A negro, named William, the ty of Mr. Coker'
gee, inGeorgia, is stated, in a Soutnpaerrolina paper, to have
been &mat alive near Greenville (S.C.) for the mural' of a
white man named Peter Garrison!
