Highwassee consisting of eighty privates, and
all the military stores &c. were on the
way to this garrison. and was expected to
arrive about the 5,h September. and that
the latter place would be entirely evacuat
ed. The object of government in removing
troops to this remote situation, appears. to
be, by being immediately in the neighbcr
hood, TO prevent any intrusions on the lndi-
ans, and also to prevent any depredations
being committed by them. Lieut. Ramsey
says he was himself sent through the settle
ment to give notice to those who had settled
on Indian lands, to remove by the 18th Dec.
The government is con6den, that resort to
arms will not be necessary, but is determin
ed, if the country is not completely evacra-
ted by that time, by every white within the
Indian boundary, force will inevitably be
used to compel their compliance. RE

DEAR SIR,
About the 1st Of June last. Jacob

son, and state of New York, living at the fourth
gate, on the Seneca turnpike road. began to dig a
well. and after descending SIX feet, struck bed
of GYPSUM or Pa'ster Of Paris He continued to
Gig about ming feet deeper, and the same appears
IN plenty. We Immediately applied TO Tr. Pat
rick, and obtained six bushels had it g:ound, and
applied it in small quantities to our garden vines,
and IN about six days they grew fres and green
we also put it on about Ave acres of corn one.
tea-spooniu TO each hill except f. rows left to
try the exrsriment--the corn pla stered in about
twelve days grew fresh and dark colored, & the
rows not plaiarered remain very small and yellow
We put one b"shel to the acre on dry pasture
land, the grass Immediately changed its color,
grew fresh and dark, and mas been good pasture
although fed every day since. Our land is of
sandy. loomY soil and very dry; The ex-
trenney dry at that time. We finally believe that
our crops viii be dousle 10 what they would have
been, had not the plaster been applied and from
our experience we believe IT to he equally AS good
or better than the imported gypsum. Tie great
est proportion of this valuable article is of grey
color, but there are veins OF transparent kind =
We however find the grey kind To be the beet for
vegetation

finds the quantity neshsustible.---You would
doubtless confer favor on your fellow. citizens
generally, by giving this account publicity thro'
the medium OF your paper, and request other E.
