The Western Indians.--it appears
that the Cherokees, West OF the Misslp-
pi, and the Ossages, are bent upon var
is destroying one another, as If desti-
ny was not already hurrying them fast
enough to the gulf Of annihilation.--'
Whatever can be done to prevent IT by
Mr. DUAL, the worthy Agent OF the
United States among the Cherokees, or
by the authority and influence of the
Executive of the U. States, we have
no doubt will be done. If the war be
not pre- vented, there is little hazard in
predicting that the Osages will be sore =
iy beaten. The Cherokees. have great
ly the advantage Of them in Physical as
we'll as moral qualities.
The story of the murder If unoffen-
ding white persons by Pawnee Indians,
which forms part of to-day's intelligence,
must be received with some grains of
allowance. These White People are
continually invading the territory of the
Indians, and violating their rights. The
wild horses on the territory of the latter
are as much their property as if they
were tame; and the Indian, no more
than the civilized man, will permit his
horses to be stolen with impunity, We
do not assert thatt the Indians are justifi-
able in these murders; but we think it
highly probable they have been commit
ted in the resistance of fragrant wrongs
on the part Of the Whites. Nat. Int
A numerous and respectable meeting
of the citizens of Fredericksburg, Fall
mouth. and their vicinities, was held at
the Town Hall in Fredericksburg, on
Saturday last, with view of concerning
measure for the relief of the venerable
Jefferson. Judge BROOKE was called
to the Chair, and JOHN 7. LoMAx, Esq.
submitted chaste preamble and appro-
pirate resolutions, declarative of the
great esteem entertained for his illustri.
Gus character, and the tender sympa-
thies excited for his enbarrassments.
A Committee OF twenty-four gentlemen
were appointed to receive subscriptions
from their fellow citizens, and to appro-
pirate the menry arising theI efrom, in
such manner as in their discretion shall
appear best calculated TO promote the
object of the meeting.
Eerly H1rvest.-Captain Samuel
HolIingsworth of this place, commen--
ced cutting wheat on Tuesday last, the
] sth inst. On Thursday we observed
two of his fields (forty-five or fifty
acres) in shock, and the cleaning
rakes at work on the stubble.
We believe this is the earliest wheat
harvest ever seen in this part of the
county, ElktOts Press, June IL
tits worthy oil remark, that the Tele-
graph paper, which started with an a
vowal of its intention to advocate the
claims of General jackson to the presi-
dency, almost exclusively devotes its
columns to the Vice President. If the
Editor be sincere in his desires to push
Gen. jackson forward, he manages the
matter with very little adroitness. If
not, the friends of General JAG kson will
hardly suffer him to throw dust in their
eyes much longer
The Carlisle (Pennsylvania) Gazette
asserts that the late meeting in Phlla'
delphia was not called by the friends Of
Gen. Jackson, nor intended to promote
L / -. l. r
the General was merely used, or abused,
to cover the design of the friends q
Dir. Calhoun, which point to other end
than the further elevation OF the Vice
President. The Carlisle paper, in
which these assertions are made, is
Jackson paper to the back bone, and
seems to dislike SKIN, deep impressions
