CHEIIAW EXPEDITION.

MILLEDG EvILLE, Nov. i7.-After AL
The obioquy attempted 10 he cast on tiie
character OF the governor, and OF the
STATE, IN consequence Of the attack on
Chehaw town, what are the facts proved
by an Impartial! investigation of ii,s sub
lect before the General Assembly g.
Why, that Cop. Wright acted CONTRARY
TO ORDERS, and kdt NO BLAME CAN
PROPERLY ATTACH TO THE EXECU-
TIVE, for ne unfortunate issue cffke cape
d'tion. A resolution expressing these
sentiments has passed both branches OF
ilie Legislature, wiibou; a dissenting
voice! Let those who, in an evil mo-
ment. wantonly misrepreseuied every
circumstances connected aiiii this affair,
look back nron their conduct none, we
are sure, will envy their teell.gs.
Among tie documents accompanying
lie Governors Communication al the o.
pening ofihc session, are tie letters that
passed beincen G"n. Jackson and Gcv
kabun respecting the Chehaw business,
now published III our iapcr. There is
close emitting on both sides, and we can
MOI but regret, that expressions SO intern
peratr, as will be found in ma-y parts OF
The correspondence, should have escap. d
either. Every one, however, must admir-,
the Governor, who MAS assaiied i'm a
manner that could not fail 10 produce
IRRITATION. Things have really arrived az
"a pretty pass, When a military officer of
The General Government shall, in his
oftcial capacity, feel authorized to use
towards The ct!lei magistrate OF an indie
pendent stale, language so haugity and
'ndeeorons. Had such been the tone OF
d Russian Field Marshal othe Governor
OF distant and inconsiderable province
ofllta despoiic Empire, tie arrogance
OF The H,ilIiary che'tain would have crea-
tea less aStonishmPni. [Jomndl.
