pared and in daily waiting to Arkansas i'm
consequence OF a communication received by Col.
Srowel from tho President through the Secretary Of
war; dated at franklin in Tennessee which place the
PRESIDENT was, few weeks since. We have learned
from some intelligent Indians whom the purport OF
this communication from the Secretary Of War; has been
made known by the Agent, that the President directs
emigration at the expense OF the government be stop
pea; wlthdraws his protection from the Indians; and
VIII not expend one dollar TO assist them i'm emigrang
unless the whole nation consent to co. The President
farther says that though this determination on hi. part
may operate harshly upon those Indians, who have
planted no corn and who have of support if
they remain another year. still he has formed the posi-
tive resolution TO hold further intercourse with them
except they apPrise him Of their wish sell out their
lands, and remove in body west Of the Mississippi.
This is the substance OF the communication of the
President, received by the Agent day since at
the Creek Agency near this place. The above state

lied on substantially correct
We learn also, that Major Wager, commanding at the

Another extract is all we have room for.
''Nature, too, is as truly manifestation
from Heaven as the scriptures. ''Tis elder
Scripture writ by Gods own hand.' The know
ledge of it could scarcely fail to be most power
full means of devotion. 1t is worthy of remark,
that those philosophers, in general, who have been
students of nature, have been distinguished by a
pious reverence for the author of nature. How
without that 'madness which the poet charges
upon the undevout astronomer could they es-
cape it? 1t follows as inference from premises,
as cause from effect. A man who reads
work of genius, if he comprehends it, unavoida-
bly, admires its author. How could similar.
but loftier sentiment fail to arise from study of
the volume of nature!
But this volume has an advantage, in one re-
spect over all other volumes. 1t is as we have
already intimated sever open before us, and we
may read it at our leisure Nay, we must read
it. if We understand its language, almost in spite
of ourselves. Its line is gone out through all
the earth, and its words to the end of the world'
Now of this various, unceasing omnipresent COM
munication, knowledge, knowledge we repeat, is
the great interpreter. 1t would make the world
a new sphere to us, sphere of new and nobler
influences. Nothing that we remember, besides
the direct effect of religious emotion ever so efec
tually and entirely plaCedus in "a new world,'
as the simple philosophical history of vegetation.
