the nation to a. -esidence in the United
States. There is hardly any intermix-
ture of Cherokee and African blood
The presumption is, that the Cherokees
will at no distant day, cooperate with the
humane efforts OF those who are liberat-
ing and sending this prescribed race 10
the land of their fathers. National pride,
patriotism, and spirit of independence,
mark the Cherokee character.
The Christian religion is the religion
Of the nation. Presbyterians, Metho-
dists, Paptists, and Moravians, are the
most numerous sects. Some OF tho
most influential characters are members
OF the church, and live consistently with
their profession. The whole nation is
penetrated with gratitude for tho aid il
has received from the United States go
yernment, and from different religious
societies. Schools are increasing every
year; learning is encouraged and reward
ed. The younger class acquire the En-
glish, and those OF mature age the Cher
okec system of learning. The female
character is elevated and duly respect
ed. Incidence is discountenanced. Our
native language, in its philosophy, gen
ius and symphony, is inferior to few it
any in the world. Our relations with
all nations, savage or civilized, are of tho
most friendly character. We are out Of
debt, and our public revenue is in flour.
ishing condition. Beside the amount
arising from imports, perpetual annui-
ty is due from the United States, in con-
sideration OF lands coded in former peri
DDS. Our system Of government, found
ed on republican principles, by which
justice is equally distributed, secures the
respect Of the people. Newtown, pleas
antly situated in the centre OF the nation,
and a, the junction of Ganasagi and GU
suwali, two beautiful streams, is the seat
of government The legislative power
is vested in, what is denominated in the
native dialect, Tsalagi Tinilawigi, con-
sisling of national committee and coun.
Gil. Members OF both branches are chez
sen by and from the people for limited
period. In Newtown, printing press
is soon to be established, and National
Library, and a Museum. An immense
concourse of people frequent the seat Of
government, when I$alagi 7iniiaauigi
is in session, which takes place once
year.

ECONOMY,

The return to our nelghborhood Of
that industrious and perscvcrlng society
OF Germans, generally known as the
Harnsonites, under the direction OF Mr.
Rum, has excited considerable speCula-
tin. Their first settlement in Butler
county, poor bnt honest people--lbcir
extraordinary labor and improvement,
therc--their village-their subsequent
disposal OF all to MIR. Zeigler, and their
migration to Indiana-the location oi
Harmony there-iis increase Of prosperi
ty-its beauty--I.s Vineyards-,he sale
Of all these to Mr.. Owen, and the return
of the Society back almost from whence
they statted-and above all, their man
ners-their simple and transformations
demeanor-,heir peaceful aud unofend-
ing dispositions, blended with their USE
lul mechanical genius, and the apparent
beauty of their internal government, have
acquired for them place in the public
mind highly interesting as well as credi-
table.
Under the simple but expressive name
of Economy, these people, fourteen
months since, commenced their third es-
adjustment. The site Of their present
village is on the bank Of the OHIO, about
10 miles from Pittsburgh, and as to To-
cal advantages, it is probable better ST.
,uation in this neighborhood could not
have beenltound. The distance from
the city wilNpreveut too great an influx
of visitors, whose unceasing inquiries
and ungovernabIe curiosity are not alto
gether appositeto the dispositions Of the
inhabitants. Possessed of upwards OF
5000 acres Of the inest land in the coun-
try, nearly all arabic, they will be ena-
bled to raise an immense deal of pro-
duce, which, together with their manu-.
features, can at all times find their way
10 market on the Ohio. The Beaver
road, by making turn Of half mile,
will pass directly through the town.
This may be also of some advantage,
owing to the considerable business that
is carried on between Pittsburgh and
those parts Of Ohio adjacent to Pennsyl.

tains an interesting account of the grand
council with the indians, and Gov. Cass,
and Gen. Clark, commissioners Of the
United States, accompanied by several
others, on the 4th of August last, at Prai-
rte des Chiens. The number of Indians
assembled was about 3O0O:-
"They all arrived at the council
ground, clothed in their war dress, and
armed with bows and arrows, war clubs,
and other Indian implements of warfare,
very few having fire arms, and encamp-
ed separately under their respective
chiefs. The Sacks and Foxes were the
lasl 10 arrive, and are represented as ma
king a very warlike aud imposing ap-
pearance. They came up the Missls-
sippi in feet OF canoes, and as they
approached the prairie, they dashed their
canoes together, and passed and repass-
ed the town in connected squadron,
stsndlng erect, singing their war songs
apd dancing after their custom. On
landing they drew up 10 martial order,
as if in warike defiance Of their enemies,
the Sioux, who were encamped on the
opposite side Of the town, and who shot
back the fierce look OF defiance upon
their ancient foes. The elder chiefs oil
he opposing tribes were prudent enough,
however, to restrain the kiodllng passions
OF their young men; and their friends,
the Chippewas, who were already on the
ground, passed along their lines, and re.
ceived friendly salutalions.
The council was held under spa
cious booth, covered with green bouehs,
erected for the purpose. After hearing
he pretensions oil each parry, which oc
cupied from ten to twelve days, treaty
was concluded, by which the boundaries
Of the respe ctive tribes were settled, and
peace and aml,y established among them.
This is the first time for century, that

Anecdote Of the Revolution.

General Marion, whose stature was
light, rode, when in service, one Of the
nee,esi and most powerful chargers the
south could produce. When in fair pur-
suit, nothing could escape him, and when
retreating, nothing could overtake him.
Being once nearly surrounded by party
OF British ragoons, he was compelledfor
safety to pass in to a cornfeld by lesping
the fence. This field marked with con-
siderable descent Of surface, had been in
part marsh. Marion entered it, at the
upper side. The dragons in chase, leap.
ing the fence also, were but short dis
lance behind him. SO completely was
he now within their power, that his only
mode of escape was to pass over the
fence at The lowest side.-But here lay
difficulty which to all but him appeared
insurmountabie. To drain the ground
of its supcrfluous waters, a trench had
been cut around this part Of the field, four
feet wide and Of the same depth OF
the mud and clay removed in cutting il,
bank had been formed on its inner side,
and on top of this was erected the fence.
The elevation Of the whole, amounted
10 more than seven feet perpendicular
height, ditch four feet in width running
parallel with it on the outside, and foot
or more Of space intervening between
the fence and the ditch. The dragons,
acquainted with the nature and extent Of
this obstacle, and considering it impossi-
Bile for their enemy to pass it, pressed
towards him with loud shouts OF excla-
nation and insult, and summoned him to
surrender, or perish by the sword. Re-
CARELESS Of their rudeness, and empty
clamor, and inAexlbly determined not 10
become their prisoner, Marion spurred
his horse to the charge. The noble ami.
mel, as if conscious that bis masters
life was in danger, and that on his excr.
ton depended his safety, approached tho
barrier in his finest style, and with
bound that was almost supernatural,
cleared completely the fence and ditch,
and recovered himself without injury on
the opposite side. Marion now facing
his pursuers, who had halted at the fence,
unable to pass il, discharged his pistols
at them without, effect, and then wheel.
ing his horse and bidding them good
morning with an air of triumph, dashed
into an adjoining .hicket, and disappeared
in an instant. Astonished at what they
had Witnessed, and scarcely believing
their foe to be mortal, the dragons i'm.
mcdia,ely abandoned the pursuit.

two stories high, and for the sake of va
riety some are painted white, some red,
others blue, and yellow.--They will con-
tinue erecting, and it is probable as ma
ny more houses may be put up. 1t is
calculated, however, l believe, 10 sup
plant the present buildings at some lu-
ture period. The society consists, at
this time, Of about seven hundred. They
have their own physicians and teachers,
all live pretty much upon the same diet,
which they draw from their store house.
They have an immense number of live
stock, particularly Of the COW kind, of
fine appearance, and large flock of
merino sheep--all under the care of a
cow-hcrd and shepherd. Owing to their
late settlement, the society have been
unable TO raise much produce conse-
quently they are obliged to purchase
They are supplied with bread stutfs, sc.

OF Harmony, their old residence. 1t is
probable the society is now worth half

Wool.--English merchants have bought
up all the wool in the principal towns of
the Prussian States, and in parts of Sax
ony and Russia. The Prussian manu-
facturers are even unable to supply
themselves. The cause of the pur-
chases is the great enterprises under
taken in England for the South Ameri-
can markets.
The Grand Seignior is irritated a.
gainst the Viceroy of Egypt, whom he
accuses of having excited an insurrec-
ton in Syria, in order to have an excuse
for not engaging in the next campaign
against the Greeks; and the conduct of
lbrahim Pacha is said to Justify such IA
suspicion. Colocotroni and Delaiani are
to be tried at Napoli. We observe no
confirmation of the capture of Patras.
