INDIAN AGENCY


WAsHrNGroN, Geo. Nov. S-we have learned from
undouotcd authority that the late council held by the
creek indins mad IN view memorial, which they
nave lormarded TO Washington City, earnestly request;
ing the President TO remove their present Agent Col
Crowe lin whom appears they have lost that confidence
which il il necessary should exist between parties thus
connected. The Chiefs Of the nation have named our
esumable fellow townsman,Col. WIN. Trple,t in whom
hey Justly contde, as the person they desire TO
succeed their present Agent In justice TO Col Trip
lett we state that his name has been brought forward
oy the Chiefs OF the nation, without his knowledge or
interference in any way whatever, which certainly must
be TO him gratifying.
IL gives us great pleasure to find their confidence
placed IN man so well deserving it, and we have no
uouot their peiion will be promptly attended to by
our Chi-i Mag srate. disappointment would be hail

angry feeling, or TO arouse justly due to Col
Crowe Tor his conduct towards our STATE, ,uting the
unpleasant difficulty that Formerly existed our

knowledge oil the advantages that would arise to the
States Interested and the Indians themselves, that
Georgia and Alabama would be relieved from their
Greek population in short time. We have been ac-
qudlnted with him for several years; believe him TO be
possessed of sterling integrity AMI ASSERT without
oil contradiction that he known to sacrifice
or even attempt to sacrifice public benefit tor private
interest.
The time has Ssen when assertions of hi. kind in "a
