ted by authority of those laws. This is.
the Capt Walker, who, under the nose
of the agent, of whom he was the depu-
ty, was active in thwarting the Commits
sioners of the United Statesin the exc
cution of their duties, and in opposing
the views OF the government in making
the treaty, for which misconduct, al
though no notice appears to have been
taken by the agent, the President had
Walker displaced. We were told a
month ago, by an intelligent resident
in the Nation, that this man Walker has
been engaged, since the ratification of
the treaty, in exciting TO mischief the
Indians bordering on Alabama; and
report says, with what truth we know
not, that he is the WHITE MAN who ac-
complained the Indians under the assn
med name aad character OF a Missiona-
ry, when they murdered M'Intosh. So
much for Captain Walker and 'Indlan
official account Recorder.
The Creek Treaty was made by the
Commissioners ofthe United States, APP
pointed by the President;-Mr. Mon
roe, by transmitting it TO the Senate,
gave it bis tacid approbation-ihe Sc
nate, after due deliberation, and after
giving, as We suppose, TO the Agents re-
monstrances againstthe Treaty were en-
titled advised & consented to its ratifica-
ton, &PresidentAdams, viewing it in the
same light did ratify it. Thus it had tie
Apr obation of two Presidents and ofthe
Senate of the United States. Yet, GER
tain persoDs|having declared that no
land should be obtaind from the Indians
while Troup was Governor, have done
what they could do to verify their pre-.
diotion- their efforts were unavailing,
and they now as might be expected,
condemn the Treaty, which is a good
one for the Indians and beneficial to this
state. The Indians disposed TO remove
were well provided for, aud those who
preferred to remain had valuable lands
Of sufficient extent allotted to them in
Alabama, But for the exercise Of an
extraneous influence, proceeding from
the intrigues of white men, the Indians
would doubtless have ceded their lands
eheerfully on terms more advantageous
to the United States than those contain
ed in the treaty.-B.

THE INDIANS.

By an article of news which we in.
serted in last paper, it will have
been seen that the Treaty lately con-
alluded by our government with the
Greeks, by which the latter exchan.
ged a large portion of their lands with
in the territory Of Georgia, for others
west OF Mississippi, has excited a
great deal of feelings among them, and
that several nf their most conspicuous
Chiefs who were active in negotiating
the treaty, have been murdered by
their infuriated countrymen, a large

fend their patcrnal inheritance. Use.
less effort! They will be swept away,
like chaff before the wind. Pursued
from the margin of the Atlantic to the
wild of the West, every year sees
them penetrating still deeper into un
trodden forests, and every years sees
the white man following at their heels.
The tribes who have remained among
the whites, have only become partial
ly civilized, catching at once all the
vices Of civilization, without being
susceptible of its re6ncments or APP
preciating its advantages. What then
aw ats them? If they follow the be-
nevolent plan, marked out by our go.
4vernment, and have coded to them in
perpetuity, beyond the Mississippi, the
former owners Of this mighty CONT
Dent may yet become civilized, and,
under the auspices of established Ego
vernment, be happy. But, if they
say where they are surrounded, by the
whites-the game upon which they
have mainly depended for subsistence,
destroyed, and averse as they are to
the arts of civilized life, no other fate
can await them but final extinction,
proceeded by a life of brutal indiffer-
encet to the nobler feelingso Of our nature.
The policy Of our government is the
only one which can save them, and
we regret their mistaken views lead
them to see in a different light.

SUNDAY ACCIDENTS.-From
a morning paper we have taken an ac-
count Of a disaster that happened yes.
terday in the Delaware. II is u n.el.
ancholy duty to record several others Of
like nature.
Mr.. Thomas Dykes, a young man a.
bout twenty nine years Of age, clerk 10
Messrs. Beck & Stewart was drowned
yesterday evening in the SchuyIkill. It
is thought that in diving from Spruce
street wharf, he struck his head against
some Of the logs.
About 8 o'clockon Sunday afternoon
two young men, about 10 years OF age,
one OF them, John III. Cook, son of Mr..
George III. Cook, the other Charles
Lee, cousin of the former, in attempting
to come into Racestreet wharf, in a
small boat unfortunately ran foul of a
brig lying there, which nearly capsized
the boat, and both were precipitated
into the water. every possible assistance
was rendered; the latter was immediate.
~ taken OUT of the water, but all efforts
to save the former proved ~unavailing.
In the afternoon, alad about SEVEN
teen years old, named Smith, was drown
ed, while bathing in the SchuylkiiI,
near Fair Mount. His friends reside
in Spring Garden.
In addition to this we learn that a
young man was thrown out of a gig, and
had his leg broken by the fall.
A woman is said to have drowned
herself yesterday at Kensington. Her
name, and the causes hat led to this
rash action, are to us unknown. This
makes tour deaths by drowning in one
day.
A mar who was employed as a watch
man on board of one Of Mr.. Girards
vessels, fell into the river this morning
about S O'Clock, from Stiles's wharf, in
the Northern Liberties and was drown
ed. With this we complete our chap
ter of accidents.

NeUspapersa are qcorth preserving.
Who does not like to look into D
file of old newspaper 81 The older
they are the greater interest is excited
by the il, perusal. A file OF newspa-
pers for half a century is of itselfa good
history ofthe period. II would be a
good library, and would sell for e.
noug h more than the original cost to
pay for all the trouble of binding and
preserving. Looking into a file of old
papers printed in this country, is won
derfully calculated to remind us of lis
rapid and unparalleled growth.
The above remarks were suggested
by looking into a file which we hap.
pened to have, printed in the year
1796. We found that at time the
tract of country now composing tie
counties Of Montgomery, Otsego, part
of Delaware, Herkimer, C~henango,
Madison, Oneida. Oswego, Jefferson,
Lewis, and st. Lawrence, only sent
one member to Congress. They now
send seven.
We found, too, The first advertise
ment for a stage from cold Fort
Schuyler. (now Utica,) to Geneva,
TO run through in three days 1t is
signed by the late 7, Powell, of Sche-
nectady. We found too, in it, the fol.
lowing appalling description oftbe suf.
feringofthe gallast General Lafayette,
in the Castle of Olmutz, taken from a
letter of I. I. nj. Gillett, his aid de-
camp, published in London, May 81,
1896.
"He was seized upon neutral
ground, and from the month of Au-
gust, 1892, buried alive in cold sub
t%erraneous, solitary dungeons, depri-
we'd of exercise, of air, of the light of
heaven, of all intercourse with human
beings. Stripped Of all his clothes,
before bis being plunged info his last
dungeon at Olmutz and clad, like q
galley sldre, IN bo1rSers and aUaisf-
coat of sail cloth, enduring in that
condition, the memorable winter Of
1894, destiiure o fevery thing, refused
evena knife and fork, and the scanty
comforts allowed TO felons; obliged to
lie on the straw and a miserable ma
tress, The relic of bis Russian prison.
Such is the description OF the suffer-
ings of this venerable man, now ira
versing our country, and receiving
the respectful congratulations of its
citizens, and every n Of us should,
if possible, have in U power to tell
our children that we have seen this
man, who has done more than any
now living for the cause Of civil liberty
and free principals.

Judicial Decision At a late SEES.
sion OF the superior court for Nelson
county, in the state of Virginia, 1t was
decided by Judge Stuart, Oh motion
made by a former high sheriff against
his deputy and securities, to recover
a sum o fmoney which the high sheriff
had been compelled to pay on account
of the defaults Of his deputy that a sale
ofthc Office of sheriff by the highsheriff
to the deputy, for a.gross amount,
was contrary to the statute OF buying
and selling offices, and that the indem-
nifying bond, executed by the deputy
and his securities in pursuance of such
sale. was null and void. An appeal
was taken from this decision. This
is a question in which the public are
deeply and extensively interested, and
it is important that the principal in
volved. in it shoald be settled. The
case in which this decision was made
by Judge Stuart. turned chiefly on the
fact that a gross sum Of money was
to be given by the deputy, as a price
for the office Of sherif, and not a por-
ton Of the profits arising flom The Of

A SANDER case was tried at the dis
trict court of Ouachita, Louisiana, on
the 10th of April; DIR. Hamlin, mem
Der of the Legislature, vsrsus General
Hughes. The broadcast range of de-
fence was allowed the ~defendant, and
many witnesses were examined. The
trial lasted 10 hours, and a verdict was
given of 1900 dollars for the plaintiff.
Soon after the judgement of court for
II,00e dollars was recorded, DIR. Ham
lin, the plaintiff, came into The count
and voluntarily recorded satifaction for
the whole amount. without having re-
ceived any part oft, observing that he
did not sue because he wanted Gen.
Hughes money but to protect an inju;-
ed reputation; that object having been
obtained by the verdict of the jury, he
would receive none ofthe money.
