Early closing ofthe N. York Co.
mails. We learn from the Albany
Journal of last evening, that without
decided mitigation of cold, the canals
are finally closed for the season. Yves,
Of Schenectady, the navigation has
been ebstructed since Tuesday. Last
year the Erie canal was navigable
some two or three weeks later.
O. A late article 10 SiIIimau's

GEORGIA AND THE CHRRoxEEs. in
the 'sFedersl Union,' published at Mil.
ledgeville, friendly to the Administers
tion Of the State as well aE the General
Government we find, under date of the
Goth instant. the suIoined information.
We do not know, at this distance, what
to make oft. The Union admits that
it is probable some great wrong has been
done in this case, under color Of authors
ty; whilst the southern Recorder, of OPP
posite politics, published at the same
place, on the same day, is wholly silent
on the subject. The most difficult thing
to understand in the whole matter, is,
what concern Mr.. PAYNE 1.-THE Dramat-
itt) can possibly have had in this CON-
fplRAcH with Ross, which conspiracy, if
we comprehend any thing about it, Is q
conspiracy to makes Treaty with the
General Government
sChsrokee Afairs.-There are four
Cherokee 10 Milledgeville, who state,
that in the absence of Col. BIsHoP,
the second officer OF the Cherokee
Guard, with a detachment, crossed the
boundary Of the State, proceeded to
the residence Of JOHN Ross, in Tenn
esses, seized him, and brought him q |
prisoner into Georgia. They state,
that this outrage was perpetrated at
the sue gesiion Of ScHERMERHoRN and
CusRIH, agents Of the United States 81
and that its motive was to keep Ross
from going 10 Washington, 10 repre-.
sent the Cherokees with the Federal |
Government. These four men are
said TO be as reputable as most Indi-
ans but they belong to the Ross par.
~ snd there is strong reason 10 be-
lieve, that, if there is any truth in the
|slatement, il is partial, and supresses
material facts. Ii it be true, an e.
,no,mous oulrage has been perpetra.ed,
which cannot be too severely con.
fdsnned I; and which we shall The more
deeply deplore, because j, may pro-
'duce an impression untavorable 10 the
Iconlinuance Of guard, which has
been found necessary TO the peace and
good order oflhe Cherokee country
An officer Of that guard may da wrong;
and SO may sheriff, and SO may
Judge, ana SO may The Governor OF
he State. Who, for the fault of one

|AboIishing our coni,ss or destroying |
bGr GoseTnmentl ii a gross Outrage
pas been perpetrated, the offenders
ought to bs punished /; but it ought

ghether il be proper 10 continue or to
Fbolish the Cherokee Guard.
