Ma7edgepiile, Ga. .May 30. THE CHEROKEES.

We learn, from source entitled to tho highest credit, that the attempts to prevent Il treaty with the Cherokees, under the pre- tence that they would be benefited by tho act for the collection of the revenue, have resulted in powerful reaction in favor of a treaty. The enemies of the President, at Washington, affirmed that this revenue law would prevent treaty: a portion of our re-. Presentatyes m Congress, on theirreturn to the State, gave currency to the same charge against the administration: and Ross, the principal Cherokee Chief, played a cores bonding part among his countrymen. But the President, with his characteristic frank ness, and decision of character, has shown to the Gherokees, their real situation: and a large majority of that hitherto deluded peo- pie, arc now convinced that if they remain within the chartered limits of Georgia, they must submit to her laws. At the solicita- ton of Ross and his partisans, the other Chiefs have consented to postpone making atreaty until the meeting of Congress: and to prevent unnecessary delay after that time, an exploring -party..ii is 10 visit the Ar kansas country during the present summer.

From A,e v. Y. Co,u.. nnd Ene,.,..o.-

When 1t was announced that the Presi- dent had landed, some of the military on the Battery made q movement, by which the citizens, who were assembled to witness his arrival, became completely wedged up
 -their escape was impossible, and for them to remain, intolerablc. A large num- ber, therefore, for relief, took shelter in front of the entrance of Castle Garden Bridge, which had previously been kept comparatively free, and there they remain- ed until orders were given to clear the en- trance by opening to the right and left, for the purpose of aflording an egress to the President and his suite. This was done in such q manner, that q number of persons, who had no other means of avoiding the cavalry to whom the duty was assigned, clambered up on top of the ticket office, which were slight erections covering the end of the Castle Garden Bridge contigu- ous to the Battery Upon the appearances of the President on inc Bridge leading from the Castle. attended by his suite and con- siderable number of citizens, the rush from without was such that with the accumulate ed weight of the whole, the string pieces extending ees from tic 5tii abntmcnt Of tho Bridge to the Battery wall gave way, pre-. cipitating those on the tops of these slight ly framed offices, upon the persons collect ed below. At this time the President had passed safe, though not more than his bor- se's length. Those in the rear were not so fortunate; the end of the string pieces of the Bridge slipping from the Battery wall, this entire part fell into the river, and with it number of individuals. The water not being deep in consequence of the filling up with stone to protect the wall from the eff fects of the current, none were in danger of being drowned, yet many were thrown into the water; and several, though not se- verely, were materially injured. Among them, we are sorry to say, were Gov. Cass, and MT. Donelson, the Presidents Secre- tary. On being extricated, they were ta- ken into the apartments of the proprietor of the Garden, where every attention was giyoIi ti that iiiIe occasion called for-and af- ter a temporary detention they were enabled to join the President before he arrived at the American Hotel.

 4 MANOUYRE.

A MANUEL RE.
 A letter from another part of the Dis trict was handed us on Sunday by q friend, from which we make this extract: "Gov- ernor Pope has been, for some days, in Shelby county; and can state, from actu- al knowledge, that it IS the wish of many of the mutual political friends, of r. H.. Pope and His Excellency, that the former should withdraw as a candidate for Con- gress and yield the track to the latter, who, 1t Is understood, is not only willing but anx- ious torun." This but is confirmation of what has been distinctly announced to us on various occasions. We feel authorized in saying, that a correspondence on the subject was opened with Gov. Pope previ- ously to his arrival in the State; and, that he evinced. even then, a decided lncllna- ton to resign his office in Arkansas and be- como a candidate for Congress i'll this Dis trict.
 What plan of operations will he finally adopted by our opponents, we pretend not to conjecture. It Is obvious, that they are in a state of uneasiness bordering on des- peratien. AIr. Patrick H. Pope himself IS getting discouraged, and every day hls friends are becoming more and more con yinced, that his election, under existing cir cumstances, is altogether out of the ques- ion: and hence they are anxious, that some stronger man should take his place. Their attention is directed particularly 10 the Hon.
