GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
Many important subjects are now be-
fore the legislature Of this state. The
bill to prevent the circulation Of unchar-
tered notes, passed the senate on the 18th
inst. after very animated discussion. IL
was before TIE house OF representatives
on Wednesday last, and will 10 doubt
receive the concurrence of that body. A
bill TO tax the Branch Banks Of the Uni
ted States in this state has been reported
in the lower house, but will meet with
violent opposition.

Ertract Of a letter from gen Gaines.1
dated Ii. q. Fort Games, Gou. 9.
SIH-l had the honor 70 receive at Fert
Montgomery, on the eve Of mr. movement
hitter, your excellency's communication
of the 18th September. Ny disposable
force, consisting Of the 4th and 9TH in,
fantry, marched on the Goth ultimo, by
the CoReka, on our new route, and arri.
we'd at this place last night.
l had entertained hope that the Sc.
minoIe Indians, apprized of this move
ment, would yield to my demand, and
thereby obviate the necessity of march
ing TO the frontier the auxiliary force
which you were pleased to put in readi-
ness Tor the purpose. This hope has not
been realised. On the contrary, it ap-
pears from the best Inflammation ! can Oh.
tain, that the Scminoes have made ar
rangements to collect their Icrcc, amount
Ing to upwards of 1000 warriors, and at
tack Us as soon as We cross Flint river.
Although put little lai'h in their threats,
and believe their numbers to be oyer-ra-
ted--yet, under all the circumstances Of
the case..I feel it to be my duty TO re-
quest Of your excelency the regiment Of
infantry and squadron Of cavalry desig-
mated Tor this service: and that they may
be ordered 10 assemble a, Fort Hawkin,
Oh the S5th INST. or as Soon after that day
as may be pIacticable-where The infant
ny will be armed and equipped, and the
whole mastered and inspected by Major
Nix, Of the army Of the United sra,es.
appreheId it will not he practicable TO
arm the cavalry, but in part Iii IS there
tore very desirable that this part Of the
force should bring with them their own
arms and equipments--otherwise shall
be under the necessity Of putting. mus
kets into the bands OF such as 1 may be
unable otherwise to arm.
