cuvrEa's ACCOUNT OF THE WORLD.
Mr.. Culver states one very remarkable
Tact, viz. that no human remains have
been hitherto discovered among the s1-
traneous fossils from which he infers
that the population Of the world is but OF
recent date, and that its present surface
is not of very ancient formation. lie
affords many proofs from traditions of a
great catastrophe, and q subsequent re-
uewal Of human society. Finally, he is
of opinion, that if there is any circum.
stance we'll established in geology, it is,
that the crust Of our globe has been sub.
jrctcd TO a great and sudden revolution,
the epoch of which cannot be dated much
farther back than FIVE or six thousand
years ago; that this revolution had bu-
ried all the countries which we're before
inhabited BY men and by other animals
that are now best known.
We republish from the Augusta Chro'
nicle, the following extract of letter
from major general Jackson, to brlgadier
general GIascock. 1t evinces in plain
and unequivocal terms, the opinion OF &C.
neral Jackson on the outrage against the
Chehaw village and its friendly and de-
fenceless inhabitants. The trial which
the general has ordered will, We presume,
develcpe the circumstances, and unfold
all the facts connected with an affair
which seems greatly and properly to have
excited the sensibility Of our citizens
Justice we hope will be done on the &C.
casion nothing less ought to be expect
ed and nothing more ought to be requir-
ed, bv those who have ielt and expressed
the most indignation on the occasion.
As the general expects to occupy Pen
sacola as an American garrison. this may
perhaps be prelude to the establishment
of his head quarters at Augustine.

Il cannot adequately express my feel

tack Of captain Wright and party, on the
appropriated men and women OF the
friendly Chehaw village, which YOU re-
cite. 1t ill be stigma TN the Ameri-

perpetI ators to justice. have ordered
Wright 10 be arrested, and he shall be
tried by a military court. have written
the governor OF Georgia on the subject,
expressing my astonishment at his un.

Il congratulate you on the safe march
of your brigade to fort Early, with hope
that the brave Georgians under your

speedily restored in health, to their IA
milies and homes.
