To the Editor Of the National Journal.
SIR Your paper Of this morning con-
tains notice Of CIV. Troup's recent
Message to the Legislature Of Georgia
enclosing a letter Of Col. Montgomery,
U. S. Agent for the Cherokee Nation,
purporting to say that Ridge and
Vann, Cherokee Chiefs, have been de-
nounced, and their seats in the Nation
al Council vacated, for their unaptho-
rized interference in Greek affairs -
AS this may make a wrong impression
on the minds of some ignorant OF In
dian affairs, we take this method, by
way Of explanation, to state that "e
are not denounced, and Maf zoe are anf,'o-
ri-ed by the Creek Nation to act as Sc
cretaries to their Delegation, now in
this city. The consent OF our Nation
was not necessary for us to receive; as
we are citizens Of free and republican
people, we had a right to accept OF ar
appoiatment under the Greek Nation.
That our seats in the National Com
mittee were vacated, we do not deny,
and this act four Government only re-
fleets credit on their prudence, and dis
position never TO give Georgia the
least cause of complaint TO ,he General
Government. The members ct the
National Committee are chosen for
two years, and attend two regular ses-
sions Of the Council, one OF which we
had served, and part OF the last,
which we left in session, to attend the
present mission.
We will state that, in the year 1919.
Colonel Lowry and Colonel Gideon
Morgan, ir,-both of Tennessee'-were
employed by the Cherokees to attend
them at this place; and now the Mcln-
tosh party, who are.on their way hi,her,
have under their employ white man
by the name OF Denney, as their secre-
tary.
OF our characters and standing, we
refer those who wish to know them,to
gentlemen who are best acquainted
with us in this city.
We are, sir, your most obedlent SER
wants. JOHN RIDGE,

CEN. LA FAYETTE,

We find the following account OF
Breakfast given by Mr.. Beasley, the
American Consul at Havre, to General
LA FAYE1-rE, on the morning after the
landing of the veteran 1t will be pc
rused with much interest by our rea-
ders generally: Nat. Journal.
Haure, Oct. 6-General La Fayette
has this morning left US for Paris. The
Brandywine, American irigate, with
the General, his son, & suite on board,
arrived here yesterday, after passage
oil twenty-five days from Hampton
Roads. He'was received with every
demonstration of attachment and res
pect, but without confusion or riot Of
any kind. Madame George Lafayette
and her amiable family have been in
Havre for some days awaiting his arri-
val, and as soon as the frigate was al
anchor, they went on board in steam
vessel TO receive him. They immedi-
ately returned together, and the party
were elegantly entertained at the house
Of NJ. de la Roche. Here the veteran
received the congratulations Of his
friends, and appeared in the highest
health and spirits. This morning a
most sumptuous breakfast was given
by MIR. Beasley, the American Consul,
at which the Gen and family and suite,
Commodore Morris, commander the
Brandywine, s about so other persons,
were present. Nothing could exceed
the elegant arrangement Of this enter
tainment The residence Of the Anne.
rican Consul is nearly on the top of
the coast, with a garden commanding
view Of the town, the mouth of the
Seine, its opposite bank, and the sea
in the distance. In this garden, tent,
ornamented with the flags Of France
and America, was pitched in such a
manner as to indu &c the whole COM
pany with this magniGcen, view. The
banquet was most splendid, and the
animated and graceful cheerfulness Of
the amiable veteran, who was the OBJ
ject Of it, communicated an air of gale
ty and enjoyment 10 the whole party.
As soon as the entertainment condnd-
ed, the General and his party set off to
Paris. A guard of honor consisting OF
many gentlemen Of the town, mounted

A NEW INVENTION.

An Improvement has recently been
made in Columbia County, in this state,
by Jacob D. Mskely, in applying the
power of wind to mills or machines in
different way from any that has yet
come TO our knowledge. THAI is, in
having the wind wheel or wheels, plac-
ed at any convenient distance from the
building that contains the machine on
which they are TO act or operate, and
convey their power by chain, strap,
rope, or shaft; and in placing the no.
rizontal wheel in frame or otherwise.
to have both ends OF the shaft support
ed. Also, in applying two or more
wind wheels TO the same machine, or
in linking wheel to wheel, by Cam
strap. or rope, and thereby increase the
power. The upright wheel is placed
from the building that contains the
machine, and has both ends ofthe shaft
supported by its being placed on a
frame, which frame is placed on plat
form. and freely swings round per-
pendicular Shaft in its centre. he
wheel is always carried fully in the ne,
wind by its own operation, and Will
consequently receive the maximum
mower of the wind according to the
angle of the vanes. The power OF the
wind wheel is conveyed to the perpen-
dicular shaft, and by the perpendicular
shaft under the platform, and there re-
ce,ved by the chain, strap, or rope
thence conveyed to the machine

instances, and several articles were
found there, bearing the appearance OF

which they were first noticed, great

excitedisome considerable curiosity in
CRANKY and the adjacent towns; more
particularly as it was discovered with

neighborhood; and that it should have
remained to this time without being
known. Hampden Register.

On SATURDAY. the body Of the late
gallant commodore MAcDoNoUGH, was
taken from the brig Edwin, and con-

THE NAVY.

A writer in the "Eoston Patriot"
speaks well on the propriety Of having
a higher rank in the Navy than that Of
Captain. To the want Of it, he attri-
butes MANY of the feuds that have ex-
listed in this arm of the national de-
fence; and says, that "Captains can
seldom be efficiently commanded by
Captains" There is, no doubt, much
Justice in this remark; and we beg
leave 10 think that the Navy would be
better regulated il the grade Of Admit
raj and Commodore were created and
established by law. One Admiral and
three or four Commodores might be
all at present required, and the addi-
tionaI expense would be very triling,
indeed. There is now one ship of the.
line, two frigates, and two sloops Of
war, with somewhat more than two
thousand men, under the command of
Captain Rodgers, and it is unpleasant
and improbable that he should be Out
ranked in the ports he may visit, BY
much younger officers in the service OF
other powers, and with a much lnieri-
or command. Niles Register.

Look at Autumn-see the day
Glooms obscure its newborn glory;
Summer having died away,
Hear its dirge repeat the story
Man and Nature must decay.

VeIPd in blackness-tempests bowling
Now and then the moon in sight,
Looking down, and on you scowling;
Cold and cherries is her light
Look at Autumn-vales and groves,
Vocal late with JOY and gladness;
Mournful now with turtle doves,
Pouring forth their notes of sadness
Broken vows and blighted loves.
Look at Autumn-hlls and plains,
All their flowers and verdure faded
Not one honored leaf remains
All is withered-all degraded:
SO when vice the fair one stains.
Look at Autumn-hear the winds
Natures destiny bemoaning;
Every blast of death reminds
Autumn too, in death lies groaning-
Every thing destruction finds.
Look at Autumn-every where
Desolation stalks before you;
Ruin dark, and wild despair,
Like two cormorants hang DER YOU
For the frost Of death prepare.
Look at Autumn-whte with frost,
Like old age with snowy tressesi
When our path of life is cross'd
By bandit of distresses,
In moment all is lost.
Look at Autumn-see the trees;
Mortal look, and cease complaining;
And the blossoms, look on these,
All have buds of life remaining

And with Spring again returning,

In mans breast, forever burning,
