Georgia and the United States--This CON
roversy seems 10 be invov ed in still further mys-
terry and obscurity. We devote large portion of
this days paper 10 the subject. 1t is one which
gives rise to several important and distinct quest-
ons. The rights of Georgia as an independent
state should be separated from the various personal
and political considerations, out of which have
grown most of the heat and violence we have wit
messed. They should be considered apart from the
conduct OF men IN office, and OF those seeking of
fce. /. What are the rights of Georgia 2.
What course has the United States government
pursued towards that State 8. What has
been the conduct of the public Agents, both of
Georgia and the General Government? f. What
are the rights OF the Indians, and how have thew
acted? We have for comment in this
days paper. The readers attention will be at
raced by Gen. Gaines letter, couched in more
guarded language, but containing some off the choeric
displayed BY the Governor.
The Raleigh Register and Fayetteville Observer
notice the passage OF Maj. Andrews through those
places on his return 10 Washington. The Editor OF
the latter paper SAYS he learnt from Mai. a. that.
Crowell, the Indian Agent; his good conduct, as
Agent, being made apparent by the testimony. TLis
result certain from the very terms of the let
ter suspendng Crowell, written before tie inpes-
tie alton of his conduct, and published by him in his
eagerness TO hold up 10 the public the assurances of
his ultimate triumph. That letter is calculated to
weaken, if not destroy, The public faith in the Re
port OF the Special Agent. The Fayetteville pa
ro- "-ys. Maj. a. will make bis report 10 the
president as soon As lie TeaoIss. Naelins.en. anil

ON this subject, dated on the 18th June, require
them TO attend the Councils 20 be held with the
Indians. He presumes that " any concert tender
ed on the part Of this government to assure full
development of the facts connected with the late
Disturbances in the Creek Nation, and also such as
may more particularly effect the guilt or innocence
of the Agent; under the charges exhibited against
him by the Governor oil this State, will be gratify-
ing to Maj Gen Gaines' The commissioners are
especially eDjoined TO avoid " any interference
whatever with the Council, disconnected with the
objects of their mission. The proprlety of taking
any of the friendly chiefs whose presence may be
necessary is suggested, on the ground that the
Agent, in vndicating himself against the charges
preferred by the Governor and the Legislature, has
had recourse TO the Missionaries and hostile Indians
Gov T. considers il right Of the state TO be
heard before the Council, that proper explanations
may be given and received, to arrive at truth and do
justice 10 all parties. IL this participation be den-
ed, formal protest is directed 10 be entered.

SiALCoME

Immense numbers Of these prey upon the abors
Of the Farmer, against the ravages OF which it is, II
many instances difficult 10 provide adequate RENE
dies.
Some vegetables are offensive to all insects such
as the elder, especially the dwarf kind, the onion
tansy, and tobacco, except to the worm that preys
on that plant. The Juice of these may therefore
be applied, with effect, in repelling insects and
sometimes the plants themselves while green, or
when reduced to powder, particularly the latter,
when made into snuff.
Set an onion in the centre OF hill Of cucumbers
squashes, melons, sc. and ii will effectually keep
oil the yellow striped bug, that preys upon those
plants while young.
No doubt plant Of tobacco set in the same way,
would answer similar purpose or, perhaps, to
sow few tobacco or onion seeds IN the hill, when
planting, would have the same effect and the
growing plants from these seeds could be taken
away when no longer wanted as protectors
Of other substances, sulphur is perhaps the most
ehectua as every kind Of insect has an utter aver
sion to it.
Powdered quick lime is deadly to many insects,
and perhaps offensive to all.
The same may be observed OF SCOT, wood ashes.
and other substances which are strongly alkaline ;
and also Of common salt finely powdered, brine, old
urine &c.
Caomel is also deadly to insects; and camphor,
and terebnthne substances, are offensive to them.
After promising thus much we shall now speak
Of insects separately.
Grubs: Large maggos produced from the
eggs Of species Of Butterfly, very injurious TO
Indian corn while young, by eating the roots
Frequent ploughngs, manuring the land with lime,
SCOT ashes, or salt, all tend much to keep them out
Of the soil.
Most Of the articles before mentioned, as being
offensive to insects, either boiled in, or diluted with
water, and that applied to the hills, especially just
before rain, will quickly drive the Grubs away.
Top, or SpindleWOrns; White worms, resem-
bling Grubs, found in the central hole, which is
formed by the leaves Of Indian Corn; and thev
there eat of the stem which forms the top Of the
plant. They are mostly to be found near barn
yards, and 10 rich spots. They are discovered by
their excrement appearing on the leaves Sptnk
ling the corn with weak lye of wood ashes will ex
tirpa,e them.
RtGckcOrms Ash colored worms, with black
stripes on their backs.-When full grown they are
of the thickness of goose quill and about an inch
and quarter long. They hide in The soil by day,
and commit their depredations by night. They eat
of young plants above ground, and frequently en-
deavor to draw them under. 1t is said that manu-
ring the ground with salt will drive them from It,
and that lime and ashes will also have similar ef.
