Lover Creek Nations.• It will afford pleasure to a
benevolent mind to knob that.the efforts 'of Colonel
HAWKINS to ameliorate the condition of the savage
tribes, and to bring them into something like' a -)oLial
:state, haVe been greatly successful, and that they are
almost daily, though slowly, making advances in
viliza:ion.
