NAUTICAL HOAX.

Among the passengers on board the packet
ship George Canning, on her late voyage from
New York, was gentleman, who had resided
for some years at New Orleans. in the capacity
of agent for the great leviatban Of the London
Stock Exchange. From some actions of this
gentleman, his fellow passengers conceived that
he would be good subject on whom to play off
hoax. They determined. therefore. to get one
up on the first favourable opportunity. A sus-
picious looking schooner having, one evening,
passed close to the packet, fear was feigned by
eome of them, that the schooner might be p-
rate. and that an attack might; perhaps, be made
by her crew, in the course of the night, on the
George Canning. Measures were accordingly
taken to give the pirates a warm reception, should
the feigned attack be actually made. Whilst
the passengers generally were to assist the crew
OF the packet, the gentleman in question was to
remain below in the cabin, to guard the ladies',
five in number, from the monsters of pirates
lhe conspirators having prepared the plot, and
several OF them having dressed themselves in sal
lors' clothes, the alarm of the ship being attacked
by the pirate was raised the parties flew TO their
posts, and the first act of the hoax commenced
Upon the deck the deception was carried on BY
the firing of pistols and clashing of cutlasses;
whilst two gentlemen. disguised as sailors, and
rendered demonstrating by bushy whiskers
and shaggy hair, rushed down into cabin, arm
ed with pistols and cutlasses. There they found
the hero of the hoax. who, ON seeing his Ssssil.

His Excellency Gro. R. GILMER,
Governor Of Georgia.
Governor Gilmer TO Mr.. Uirf.
EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENT, GEORGIA.
1I;UpdperjUe 10Th lime 1870


SIR-YOur communication addressed to the
Governor of Georgia has been received informing
him of your employment BY the Cherokee In
dams to defend them against the operation of
the laws of the State, and proposing reference
of what you have thought proper to call the Ills
pute between the Cherokee nation and the State
of Georgia. to the Supreme Court of the United
States. The Governor of Georgia knows of no
reason why he should be notified that profession
al duty required of you to take fees of all who
ask your advice. Georgia claims no jurisdic-
ton over the Lawyers of Maryland. Your JUS
tiicat,on will have become appropriate, when
that State nterferes with your professional bust
ness. Why it should he the misfortune of cit
izen of Mary land las YOU sayit is yours to diff
fer with the constituted authorities of Georgia,
is not very clearly understood. You are nei-
Their responsible for the legislation of the State,
nor subject to its control. There is no doubt
but that many of the Lawyers distinguished like
yourself las you say profess to believe that the
State has usurped authority and violated the faith
of treaties in passing laws for the protection of
the rights, and Furnishing the crimes of the lndi-
an people who reside within its limits. 1t is
known that the extent of the jurisdiction of Geor-
gia, and the policy of removing the Cherokees
and other Indians to the West Of the Mississippi
have become party questions. 1t is not. there
fore, surprising that those who engage in the
struggle for power, should find usurpation and
faithlcssness in the measures of the Government
accordingly as the loss of office. Or the hope of
its acquisition may enIighten their understand
i4s. What YOU say of the fallibility of the con-
stitued authorities of Georgia is tluism of uni
versa application, and can have no meaning but
by your intention to render the application partic-
ular.
You say that the Supreme Court of the United
States isa high, impartial and enlightened tri-
bunal. Why such Communications
The promise you make to use your profession
al influence to prevent your clients, the Indians,
from committing violence upon the people of
Georgia, is very kind. coming as it does from a
private citizen of another State, and will, with
out doubt. create an obligation upon the people for
whose safety is intended, commensurate with the
favorto be received.
There are no fears felt in Georgia Of Indian
violence, although it is highly probable that your
efforts will be productive of some mischief 1t
is believed that the Cherokees in Georgia had
determined to unite with that portion of their
tribe who had removed to the west of the Mis-
sissippi, if the policy of the President were sus-
tanned BY Congress. To prevent this result,
as soon as it became highly probable that the In
dian bill would pass, the Cherokees were per-
saaded that the right Of self government could

and stage Of the business has been profitable,

and stage Of the business has been profitable,
from the planter to the exporter.
For all this amount of produce, sold to foreign
ers, including commissions, freights and profits,
they have paid us cash-unless we have preferr-
ell to receive something else, which to be sure we
generally have. For, to have taken the whole in
money, rather than merchandise, would have
been to pursue the policy of the miser. who, that
he may enlarge his heap of useless gold, denies
clothes to his back. and food to his stomach. A
few individuals of this disposition NAV exist, but
a nation of such fools was never known.
Such a years business adds immensely to the
comforts which our citizens enjoy, increases the
national strength, and enlarges our capital and
spirit for future enterprises. 1t will be well, If
instead of becoming vicious and degenerate in
prosperity. as other nations have done. our insti-
buttons of science, our patriotism, and every in
dividual and national virtue, shall rise in proper
ton to our rising wealth and power.
Here we might with pleasure. and we think
with conclusive effect, illustrate the superior adj
vantages. euen to as, of a state of general peace.
We might show that the aggregate of our profits
has been greater than the average of any series
of years during the prevalence of war in Europe;
and if they had not been half so great, that the
feeling of quiet and secure success has been
worth more than any increase of profits: that the
gentle flow Of such a stream is better than a ca
taract of prosperity, which might deluge US to-
day, and perhaps be dried up tomorrow.

claims of Georgia, she rs yet disposed TO place her
enemies in the wrong by her moderation in urg-
ing them, and her determination to render not
justice alone, but indulgence to her Indian popu-
%lation, misled as they are by the designing, who
use this question and would use any other for po-
litical purposes. We know of no better guide in
this matter than the excellent message of the Go

At the late public exhibition of American man

are of genuine Nankin Cotton, grown by the Hon.

in Spain. The material possesses the desideratum
ofan immov cable color. Weanad noticed during
the past summer, that an acquaintance wore nan

now, that ii was a part of this first essay, and
had been washed at least twenty times, not only
without injury, but with a positive increase Of
brightness: MIR. Forsyth's crop this season, will

From the ". y. jour. Com. Of November 10.
Bus,xEss.-It j. at this season of the year
that business draws to a close upon the pr"duc,c
tions of one crop. and commences upon those OF
another. Seldom has a crop been so thoroughly
and so proftably disposed Of as the last. Our
Cotton crop of 1899. the largest we have ever
had. has furnished our own manufacturers WIN
one hundred and thirty thousand bales. and for
e;su nations with eight hundred and fifty thou
sand bales. for which the latter have paid us at
least thirty millions of dollars. Our Corn CROP
which was also a good one, has found ready buy
ers at good prices. The same is true OF lobao-
co. and all the other agricultural products. In
Coffee VIC have done a large business, having
taken great quantities from the growers, in pay
ment for our produce, but it has all been sold
with the exception of a very light stock, which
!. denosited to await the reduction o duty on the
first of January. Sugar. the only article IN winch
at the commencement of the year, there was any
apprehension of a deficiency, remains in a larger
suunpIy than any other. But the present prospect
is that the whole Of it will soon be wanted. The
following estimate is probably not far from the
value of the principal articles of domestic pro-
duce which have been exported:
Cotton ,.......... ............S0, 900, OOO
