We must conclude; the poetry of America is
fast rising into eminence, and several of her bards
may take their place when they please among the
poets Of Britain. Their country abounds with
scenes of natural magniGcence and sublmty.
and with tribes of men who have yet been par.
TALLY pictured by the muse. We advise all
Transatlantic bards to forget the strains of their
ancestors III this little isle, and awaken their
souls to subjects all their own, trusting to IN
spiration to clothe their conception in the Ian
susge of truth and originality. We mean not
to say that any of them are imitators; but we
think that they allow their spirits to be rebuked
too much by the memory Of the divine poems oil
Milton, Spenser and others, and assuredly they
are too sensitive respecting criticism. When
thev write without remembering the one, or fear.
iuy the other, th1y will give US something OF a
loftier mood than they have done hitherto.

The James Rirer BM.-This important bill pass.
ed the House OF Delegates to day by large majo.
rity. Two material changes have been made, since
it was reported to the House,. The Kenawaa
Road. from Covington TO Charleston, is compre.
hended, and the Company's privileges vii, thus
embrace the whole line from Richmond to the
western termination of the improvement. 9. In
stead of appointing Commissioners to ascertain
the value of the works already constructed, to be
conceded to the new Company, the bill fixes
their value al one million of dolars-a liberal
price certainly, and which we hope may be sume-
what scaled. individuals are left at liberty to
take the whole remaining stock, the State not re-
to complete the two-fiiths,kas at first proposed.
Other changes have been made, which will be
noted if the bill become law.
The Council of Chiefs of the Creek Nation.
held near this town, has just terminated. This
Council, as we remarked in the last Enquirer.
was convened to deliberate on the terms Of
treaty recently proposed to the U. States, through
one of the Creek Delegation at Washington.
The result of the meeting has been, that The De-
legation now at the seat of Government has been
increased, which additional number, with the
United States Agent Col. Crowel, passed
through this town on the 1st inst. on their way
to Washington. The entire Delegation is vest
ed with full power to dispose of the Territory.
now in the occupancy of the Greeks in Alabama
We are unapprised of the particular terms. on
which the Delegation is authorized to conclude
Treaty. We understand that the Government
acquiesced in the proprety Of granting reserves
in fee simple of one mile square. to such heads
OF families as chose to remain and submit to the
laws of Alabama. 1t was stipulated too, we be-
lieve, by the Government, that these reserves
whenever the propretors desire to emigrate.
should be valued by four Indians, and white
man. a commissioner, to be designated by The
U States. The prevailing impression .is that
the Delegation is instructed to take reserves for
the use of such Indians as are averse to abandon
ing the Greek countFy.-Columbus Enquirer
