But it is added that the Cherokees are in the
. chartered limits of Georgia; and it is trium-
phantly asked, Cannot Georgia govern her
own territory Is she not entitled to her own
property " But this statement of the case is
mere begging of the question. 1t is not admit
ted that the Cherokees are now, or ever were,
n the State of Georgia, in any such sense as is
implied by the confident tone of these questions.
They have never acknowledged themselves to
be in the State of Georgia. The laws of the
United States and the 14th article of the treaty
of Holston, declare, that Indian territory is not
within the jurisdiction of any State, nor within
the jurisdiction of any territorial district of the
United States It seems, however, that our ma
Aional statute book is of very light authority
when compared with the supposed conclusions
-'of philosophical writer, whose theories are
produced as the arbiters of peoples destiny.
Let me ask here, whence did the Secretary
of War derive the power of repeating an act of
Congress This is plain question and the
people of the United States would like to re-
ceive plain answer. Whence did he derive
the power to set aside existing treaties The
treaties, and the laws, are positive end peremp-
tory in declaring that the Cherokees are not un-
der the jurisdiction of Georgia, nor of any 9TH
er State nor of the United States that citizens
of the United States have no right to enter the
Indian country, except in accordance with trea-
ty stipulations; that it is high misdemeanor,
punishable by fine and Imprisonment, for any
such citizen to attempt to survey Indian lands,
or to mark trees upon them and that the In
dian title cannot be extinguished except by the
consent of the Indians, expressed by a regular
treaty. Yet the Secretary of War seems never
to have known that any such laws or treatie:
are in existence. Is he not aware of all this
or does he really think he has power to annul
treaties and repeal laws, according TO his sense
of convenience and propriety?
But this is a depression. Having shown. as
it seems to me, that Georgia can gain nothing
by an appeal to the law of nations, propose to
inquire briefly, what support she can derive
from the charter of the King of England.

CAPITULATIoN OF GEN. BARRADAs CON-
FlRMED. A passenger in the Louisiana,
who arrived at New Orleans on the 9TH
ult., from Vera Cruz, states that Gen. Barra-
das came to New Orleans in the same YES
sci with himself, together with several Of
his officers, for the purpose of chartering
transports to take his men from Tampico to
Havana. Gen. B. capitulated on the 18th
OF Sept, after five successive engagements,
having lost nearly half his men by the COM
blned operation of sickness and the Next
car arms.

CAUTION TO CoAcH PRopRIEroRs.-
Those whose business calls them to travel in
the public stages, know that it is often the
case that the lives of passengers are endan-
gered by " breaking bad horse in a stage
COACH" A case of this description recent
ly occurred in England, and an action was
tried before Mr.. Sergeant Taddy; when
it was proved that vicious horse, which
would not work in any single harness. was
put, with three others, before mail coach.
1t had proceeded but few yards, when
the coach was upset. and the passengers
were considerably injured. Among the
number was clerk to lawyer; he was
SO much injured that he was confined for
several weeks to his bed, thereby losing his
situation, and having probability before
him OF being cripple during his life. The
Jury brought in verdict of 9I75 damages.

and the other expenses incurred during his

Last year an oil-mill was found in one of
the houses of Pompeii. very far superior
to any now in use in Italy. 1t was formed
of lava, and consisted of concave and
convex hemisphere fitting into each other,
and having rototary motions in opposite d.
rections. BY a neat mechanical contriv-
ance, these two stones were prevented from
approaching each other in the first instance
so nearly as to break the stone, but merely
to crush the pulp of the olive, SO that this
fruit oil must have been Of singular purity.
When this has been pressed of, the CON
gex stone could be lowered into the concave.
and the whole fruit was broken up together.
AT Herculaneum, short time since, the
residence of barber was discovered. The
shop and its implements were in wonder
tul state of preservation; the seats on
which the customers were seated, the
basins, the stove, and even many pins de-
signed for the head-dresses of the Roman
ladies.-Foreign Journal.

ISLAND OF ANTIcosTI. Accounts have
been published of the finding of several
dead bodies on this Island, and they were
supposed to have been persons shipwrecked
there during the last season. Circumstan-
ces since made known, warrant the pre-
sumption, that they were massacred, and
that this Island is the resort of gang of
pirates. The keeper of one of the Govern
ment posts on this Island, while returning
home, from late visit TO Quebec, saw a
boat leaving the Island, and when he went
up to his house, he found all has family mas

GUIDE BoARDs. A gratuity of twenty dol
lars was awarded, at the Brighton Show, to a
Mr.. Stanley Cater, for contrivance intended
to obviate the perplexity travellers sometimes
experience, by the obiteration of the letters on
guide boards at the intersection of the roads.
The new contrivance consists, says the Boston
Patriot, "smply in branding upon sign board,
with iron letters, and then painting the outer
surface. These guides to the wayfaring man
may be afforded at cheap rate, and may be re-
newed at any time by three OF four strokes of a

CHESAPEAKE AND DELAWARE CANAL. This
short, but expensive and important canal, was
opened with great parade on the 18th ult. The
expense of this work exceeds 10000 dollars
per mile; for its extent, it is the most costly
canal in the world, with the exception of the
CALIFORNIAN in Scotland. The greatest Difficult.
ties in its construction lay in the treacherous
norasses through which II passed. Some Of
the marshy borders the canal gradually sunk
to the depth Of 100 feet, and were filled up with

Immense magazines are preparing at Adrl-
anople for the Russians.
ConStantinople, Sept. 5. Notwithstand-
ing the proximity of the Russians, whose
advance posts are at Curly, about fifteen
miles from Constantinople, the most perfect
tranquility prevails in the capital. The
only to the Porte, and it conceals them from
the foreign ambassadors. In short, since
late events, the Porte evinces much distrust
of the other powers, while it manifests less
reluctance towards Russia. "Russia," say
the Turks, "treats US with rigor-but at
least with loyalty"
The amount to be paid by way of indem-
nifty, by the Porte, is to be settled at st.
Petersburgh, and Turkey is to furnish guar
antees for the faithful performance Of the
conditions of the treaty of peace. OF the
conclusion of such a treaty, no one who
witnesses the extreme depression of the
Ottoman ministers can doubt-and when
they are heard to express in the most en-
phatlc language, their veneration and de-
votion for the Emperor of Russia.
HoStilities will, we are assured, be sus-
pended until the ratification of the treaty.
Meanwhile they are working actively upon
the Notifications of Eyoub under the direc-
ton of an English Engineer The Sultan
does not leave his camp at Ramis-Tschft-
lick. The faithful Mussulmans are exhort-
ed not to lay aside their arms, in order, as
well to repress disorder, as, in the last ex-
tremity, to defend the capital. This pre-
caution, and the appearance of the Russian
troops at Karabruroun on the Black Sea.
and at Czurly on the Adrianople road
that is, at ten leagues from Constantnople
at the first point. and twenty leagues at the
other-seem to indicate, distinctly, the pur-
pose of Gen. Diebitsch to push his opera
tons, until peace is actually concluded.
Pera, (near ConStantinople, ] Sept 6. The
state of the Capital is very alarming. Peace
can alone prevent the frightful catastro-
phe which hurries the fall of the Ottoman
Empire. A conspiracy, conducted by AS
trologers, and the object of which was, the
assassination ofthe Sultan, has happily been
timely discovered, and efficient measures
taken, but the same spirit remains The
approach of the enemy menaces us with a
general overthrow. The English Admiral
has judged it prudent to cause the English
vessels of war to enter, to receive the Sultan
1t necessary, and protect mis- own country
men. Moreover, in concert with Gen. Gu
illeminot, he has represented the situation
of the Capital to Gen. Diebitsch, and de-
nanded the suspension of military opera
tons. The General has not granted this,
but has purposely retarded the march of his
troops, to afford the Sultan the means of
signing the peace on the 18th, the time per-
emptorily fixed for its ratification. We
therefore believe in the success of the ne
gotiations, the more as the conditions Of
Russia are not increased, and that France
and England use all their efforts to put an
end to this war.

VoRAcITY OF SHARK. When Sir Henry
Heathcote commanded the Galetea frigate on
the West India station, he happened to have on
board, as his own cook, black man, who had
in the same capacity served Lord Nelson Poor
Sambo sickened and died, and was, with the
usual honors of sculpture, committed to the
bosom of the deep, encased in his hammock
In day or two, the Galetea sailed on cruise
and after an absence of three months, returned
to Jamaica, and let go her anchor about the
same spot she had before occupied. Soon after,
large shark was taken by some Of the ships
company, who, on ripping up the monster, dis
covered the remains Of poor Sambo, the cook,
enclosed in his nav, whose identity was proved
beyond a doubt by the number Of his hammock,
and pair Of Stt1er shirt buttons which he was
known to have worn.-Engtish paper.
ADRIAEoPLE. This city was taken by the
Turks in 1861. II is situated on the river Ma.
rizza, navigable to its mouth in the HeIlespont.
II is a walled city, and is also place of impor.
tant trade in wine and fruit, raised in the cir
cumjacent country. The principal merchants
are Greeks, Jews and Armenians A large part
Of the population is of the Christian faith. In
its early history, Adrianople was the scene of
several bloody conflicts In 1893, Constantine
defeated there Licinius. In 1913, the Goths the
Alains, and the Huns, defeated Valens, who was
burnt alive in cottage. In 1905, Joannice

AN ADOPTED FAMILY. A correspondent
of the Albany Daily Advertiser, states thar
an acquaintance Of his, fclled tree, which
contained four young red squirrels; thew
we're taken to the house, and put upon the
floor, before the cat she Immediately
seized one of them, carried it into an adj
joining room, and ate it +: she returned to
the others but instead of deyouring them.
she began to pur and fawn over them,
and soon carefully took the remaining three,
one at time, in her mouth, and carried
them into the other room where she contin-
ued to caress them, until the SQUIRRELS
began to suck her, although she had not
any kittens at the time and this she con-
tinued to do, (being fed during the time
by the person who had them,) until the cat
began to give milk sufficient for their SUM-
port. The writer says he frequently saw
them, until they were full grown, and was
often amused with the parental care that
the cat manifested towards her unnaturollv
adopted family, and the agility and famii.
iarity with which they would skip from
shoulder to shoulder of the persons of the
family, and sport on the fence and trees
in the yard.

PRODUCE OF ONE POTATO. Mr.. John Tink-
er of Worthiugton, raised the past season from
one potato, weighing nine ounces, three bush
els and half of potatoes, which weighed two
hundred and two pounds. Tho whole number
of potatoes was about seven hundred, and one
hundred of the largest weighed ninety-four
pounds. Mr.. T. cut his potato into small
pieces, and planted them in about thirty hills.
He divided most of the eyes or buds into four
parts, giving to each piece one fourth of an eye,
and thus obtained four sprouts from almost ev-
cry eye; only few pieces failed. 1t seems by
Mr.. rs. experiment, that seed potatoes subdi-
vided in this manner, will grow and be prolific.
