The natives, some OF whom were arm
ed with long sticks, were very hume
rous, sitting or running along shore as
the vessel sailed along. An armed boat
was despatched towards the shore.-Thc
island appeared iron.bound; for boats
length from shore the depth was six ia
,homs, and rough coral ground a ships
length from shore there were fifteen ia
ihoms depth. y t .,
Al the N. w. point they found CO.
raj reef projecting far in the sea, and on
which there was heavy surf. 1t was
supposed that these were the breakers
heard previous to the discovery OF the
island. The land had pleasing aspect
and appeared fertile. The number oil
natives assembled on shore was estimat-
ed at about 900. They were OF dark
copper hue, all, and well made. Few
were less than six feet, Rhinland mea-
sure, or 6,l66 English. The women
were also very stout. Sons OF The peo-
pie were tatooed, but no, so much as a
Nukahiwa. They were naked, except
some covering made of leaves. A few
others bad some cloth OF cocoa bark
wrapped around the waist. The heads
oil some were adorned with feathers.
Their conduct appeared very fierce and
wild, and they contriyed TO steal what
ever they thought within their reach.
The boatbooks soon disappeared, and
they even attempted to tear the oars from
the hands OF the boats crew. An old
man with white beard, and OF respec-
table appearance, carrying green bongh
IN his hands was al their head.--He con-
tlnuaIy kept singing some mono'onous
song in melancholy tone. They bar
tered some cocoa nuts and some Of their
tools, against some old handkcrchleis
and empty bottles; and it appeared that
their language had some resemblance TO
tina, spoken at Nukahiwa. When the
boat again put to sea, they tried The et-
feet oil firing few musket shots in the
air, bat The native did moi show any symp-
toms OF lear, and thus appeared uncon-
scious of the effect OF European arms.-
No canoes were seen in the possession
Of these people, nor did they attempt to
approach the ship, although the weather
was excelsn, and the sea very calm.
The commanders OF The two vessels re-
GREETED very much that their large com
plement, and the small quantity OF water,
obliged them to make every possible
despatch. They accordingly pursued
their journey to Sourabaya in Java,
where they found other work in hand
than the discovery of new couniries.--l

General Government is bound By tfea-
ties 10 prolec, them from intrusion from
the whites, and acknowledges the pos
session OF no right to take their lands
from them without their consent to
fair and equitable purchase. Surveying
a route for canal through their territo-
ry, therefore, was an intrusion-an inva-
sion of rights guaranteed 10 them by tho
General Government, and they had
right TO forbid it, and to stop il too be-
cause it gave pretty strong indications OF
an Intention on the part OF Georgia TO
take possession OF their lands, to which
she had DO right, and for which she dis
dained even to ask the consent oil the
owners. What right, let us ask, has
Georgia 10 construct canal through
the lands of the Cherokees, unless she
obtain their consent and pay them for
the lands occupied! 1t will not do TO
tell US that the canal will benefit the
Cherokees, and therefore it will be do
ing them no injustice; they must them
selves be the judges OF their own inte-
rest, and may deem beneficial or other
wise any measure attempted to be forced
upon them. Ii Georgia does send her
troops into the Cherokee country, and
by these means force the survey and
bring on a war with them--which She
will most certainly do if she persists
she will act without even the shadow of
justice, and, as we conceive, II direct
con,ravention OF the laws of the land
solemn treaties, The constitution and
laws Of the United States. Will the
General Government permit this inlus.
tice to the, at best, much injured Ado.
regimes We hope not.

GEORGIA AND THE INDIANS

Ii is but week or two since we con-
gra,ulsted the friends Of good order up
on the prospects of on amicabie termi-
nation to the controversy between Geor-
gia and the Creek Indians. We thought
then that the pugnacious spirit OF the
Georgians had been satisfied, and that,
for time at least, they would be will
ling to live in peace.--Scarcely, bowev-
err, had this peaceful spirit time TO show
itself, before another controversy is be-
gun with another nation of Indians; the
origin Of which is still more discredila-
bic 10 Georgia than that OF the former.
Georgia had Tor some time contemplate
ed connecting the Tennessee river with
her own Atlantic waters by means of
Canals, and employed engineers and
surveyors TO examine the best route.
In executing this design, the surveyors
had to pass through and survey a route
through tho territory Of the Cherokee
Indians.-On being informed Of their
intention, the head Chief OF the Nation
laid tho subject before The Council, who
instructed him to forbid the survey, and,
it persisted in, 10 stop it by force. The
head chief accordingly forbade the pro-
ceedings Of the surveyors, in, as the
Chief Engineer, Mr.. Fulton, says him
self, respectful ,erms.-The surveyors
slept their proceedings and Informed
Gov. Trovp Of the same, who imme-
diately ordered out the military, (the
Baldwin county troop,) to carry on the
survey by force! The Cherokees arc
tho most civilized Of all the North Anne
rican Indians; have republican form
Of government, and are acknowledged
by the United States-so far as the en-
tering into trpaties with them is an ac-
knowledgmeut--to possess national and
sovereign rights. Furthermore, the

Of his provisions were consumed. He
then marched for Carlisle, and surprised

to retire into the citadel. The Greeks
were in their turn surprised By body

ACCOUNT OF THE DISCOVERY OF AN INHA-
BITED ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC.
By CAPTAIN EEG Of the PoHuc siooh Of
war. in the service Of His Majesty the
King Of the Netherlands in a letter
to DR.. Brezvster. from G. MoW Pro-
lessor of Natural Ph,iosohhy, IN the
University of Utrecht.
My DEAR SIR Two vessels in the
service OF his majesty the king OF the
Netherlands have lately crossed the Pa
cifc. After leaving Washington's ISL
and, it was deemed expedienl to keep in
the seventh parallel OF south latitude,
sailing to the westward, being the track
IN which Capt. EGG, commanding the
Pollux sloop Of war, thought some ISL
ands nigh, probably be discovered.
The coral islands IN those seas beng &C.
morally small and low, i, was rendered
prudent to proceed at night under easy
sail, and thus to leave Dc Peyster's and
Sherson's island 10 the north and south.
On the l4,h July, 1925, al five O'Clock,
A. NJ. after very hazy and rainy night,
it was presumed that land was to be seen
ahead, bu, very indlstlnctly; and shortly
after the breakers were distinctly heard.
The vessel was brought 10, and the sig
nal made tor the Maria Reygersberch
frigate TO do the same. Alter sunrise
they discovered very low ISLAND, bear
ing west by south, two miles distant,
(milcs OF so to degree.) The land
appeared we'll stocked with cocoa aud
other trees. About noon they had the
north part Of the island S. 60 deg. E.
The longitude Of this island and its
latitude being ascertained with as much
accuracy as circumstances would allow,
and no other island being fount. IN the
same position in any Of the charts on
board, this was deemed new discovery.
The nearest land was De Peysters group,
but it was fifty minutes different in lati-
tude. Though the sky was very clear,
no other islands were seen at the same
time. The name Of Nederlandich island
was given to this new land. Its north
point is in latitude 7 deg. 10 min. S.
and the GENRE Of it in longitude ~ deg.
80 min. l6 sec. F from Greenwich
the variation Of the magnetic needle be.
ing deg. to the east. The longitude
was discovered by three chronome,ers:
one OF these made by Thomson, was reck-
ened the mos, accurate; its rate had
been ascertained seventeen days before,
1t Nukahiws, and its differences from
the other Two were very regular. A
few days before coming in sight with the
island, the longitude was ascsrtained by
observations, agreeing remarkably we'll
with tho thermometers. This island has
form resembling horse shoe: its OK.
tent is abou, eight miles: in the west
side an indents,jon. closed BY low reefs,
and terminating 10 . lagoon.
