Mr.. J. w. JONES
Sir:-I am sorry to inform you that l
have some cause to change my opinion
with regard to the Cherokee Indians, since
l wrote you last. Dick Taylor and Son
reached here on Tuesday night last,
from Washinton City, much dissatisfied
with tho ratification of the Treaty, and
Young Taylor repeatedly said there would
be blood shed. 1 am Of the opinion that
nothing but the interference of John Ross,
will prevent war between the parties ::
viz: Ridges and Ross. The people are
becoming alarmed in many places, and
particularly about Dahlohnega. Allen
Matthews arrived here yesterday evening
with his family, and says several other
families speak of coming in. Yet l can

A gentleman of our acquaintance, and
one in whom entire confidence may be
placed, arrived III our city yesterday even-
ing, from IIawkinsvile, which place he
lett on Tuesday last. He states that on
the evening before he left, an express ar
rived at that place, from Gen. Irwin, to
Gen. Wilcox, stating that body OF about
1000 Indians had crossed the Chattahoo-
chez, near Roanoke. had killed some OF
the inhabitants of Stewart County, and
were making their way, as it was suPPos-
ed, for Florida, in the direction of Lown-

informant, took a copy ofthe express; but
we have not been able to see him. The

munity, in augmented supplies Of southern
products. In short, every new field Of
commerce and enterprise, contributes es-
sentially to the prosperity of the active
population of New England. Taking
comprehensive survey Of the subject,
therefore, the Texian revolution bids fair
to become source of greater benefit to
the northern than to the Southern States.

Consequence of.he honorable and energetic

who had resolved to turn the cannon IL

LAND BILL.
The bill from the Senate providing for
the distribution amongst the several States
for limited time, of the proceeds ofthe
sale Of the public lands, and the motions
:nending on the reference Of the same, were
taken up.
The question was first taken on the mo-

commit the bill to the Committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union; when
there appeared yeas 81, nays 96.
The SPEAKER said that, under the
ninth rule ofthe House, he was entitled to
vote in the case; and he accordingly voted
in the negative.
So the motion was lost.
Some debate then arose but no quesron
was taken on the bill.

Mr.. Grace, a citizen of this interesting
country, brings further news from the bel
ligeren,s. The Texian army, lsOu strong'
under the command Of Brlgad,er General
Rusk, was on the east side ofthe Colora-
do river on the 18th of May, preparing to
cross and follow the Mexican invaders on
sheir retreat, and prevent them from talk
sag off any property. The Mexican army
under FilasoIa, above 1000, were on the
west side of the Colorado, in the most de-
yaorable condition, having 1000 sick and
wounded and the balance in state OF star
vation. By this geutleman's account 1t
also appears that General Filasola sent a
reaues, TO General Rusk, begging to be
permitted to keep the 800 or 400 beeves.
then in possession of the Mexlcans) and
stating that, if allowed to do so, he would
not only pay for them, but consider the
granting of. his application as debt OF
gratitude. General Rusk with the hu-
manity that ever characteristics the brave,
and which is so little known in the Mexi-
can army consented to the request. The
MEXICAN army had taken the lower route,
by the way Of Copano and Ma.amosas,, to
avoid the Indians, who they feared would
interrupt them on the other track. The
Mexicans appeared to wish themselves at
home again, never more to meddle with
the brave Texans.

RESULT OF TIE INDEPENDENCE OF TEXAS.
From the Boston Gazette.
Viewing Texas as Independent, what
will be its effect upon this country, and IN
particular upon New England! Most as
suredly it will tend to rapid settlement
of Texas, and open its ports to valuable
commercial intercourse with our own At
-antic cities. The people ofthe Southern
and Western States have manifested great
enthusiasm in favor of the Texan cause.
But we apprehend that the relative effects
of the revolution will operate more bene-
ficiaIIy on the North, than on the South.
The inducements held out to settlers, in
the shape of lands Of the most fertile cha
racter, and adapted to the cultivation ofall
the great southern staples, will attract
more powerfully Southern planters, and
the consequence will be, that the main por-
ton of Migrants will 60 from the South
ern States. Marylanders, Firginians, Ca
rolinas, and Georgians, will be anxious to
leave their own worn out lands, for the sa-
lubrious climate and more fertile soil OF
Texas. The remote tendency will be, to
transform Maryland and Virginia into nom
slayeholding States. Be this as it may,
the Southern and Western States will
mainly contribute to the peopling OF the
new Republic.
But without losing so large proportion
of population, our northern cities Will par
ticipate in more extended and acaVe
commerce; our carrying trade will be aug
men,ed: the crops of cotton rice' anu sul =
gar, will be increased, and the Proouc@s .,
Texas, cultivated by natives OF the oni'eo
States, will be poured into our great marts
of commerce, with an abundance hitherto
unknown.
Viewed in this light, the victory of Ge-
neral Houston will operate benefciaity
upon the manufactures of New England
BY afFording more extended markets for
their fvbrics: it will be favorable to our

There arc 700 friendly Indians in the
camps of O-poth-le Yo-ho-lo and E-cha
Had.io; 800 in Chambers county; 80 at
this place, and 20 at Fort Mitchclk making
in ali 1000 friendly warriors:
The Indians have all been repeatedly IN
vitcdto come in; their hostility has been put
upon this issue, and every ndacement' OIL
ftred to bring them under our protection:
Ne-ah Mic-co has 700 warriors at wa
loo-ta.ha-ka and is by some thought to be
friendly; but such is not the case. Gene:
raj Woodward expressed to US no doubts OF
bis hostility and we Pcrused a letter a lew
days since written at Ne-ah Mic:co's camp,
which detailed nothing but long series OF
the most wal.on and blood-thirsty actions.
There can be no doubt, but that tho MUIR
dcrous attack on the stages was made by

q aHore Indids. War; The Cheroaecs are
up,-We have two letters before. MS, one
from Col. Parr, commanding in .CaEoll,
10 Gen. Wood, stating that the inhabitants
on the frontiers fthat county are IN, great
CONSERVATION on account of.tho hostile
movements of the Cherokees. He has
raised volunteer mounted company to

Gordon upon tie line of Carroll and the
Cherokee country. They march to their
stations on Tie 24th, under the command of
Lieut.. Col: .Wagnon. Another from ".

that: there is a large party Of Cherokecs liz
and about Ccdar-town, the present. colin-
ty site ofpaulding, whose movements are
evidently hostile-that the white inhabi-
tants are under alarm-that they are With

to furnish suppl Y as soon as practical

families butchered by the Cherokees. we

Sos to return on account of the hostile ap-

moment been informed by Judge Springer,
who has Just arrived from Carroll, that
number of families have already come
over into Carroll from Paulding, that the
Indian force now collected is computed
from 3 to 500, that they demand provI-
sions from the whites, and are robbing
them of their castle. One Indian has been
killed in the act of driving of, cattle. AS
blood has been shed, the inhabitants are
fearful that, as the troops from this section
leave for the Creek nation, the Chcrokees
will rise and commence a general massa-
Gre. Therefore we anticipate that our
volunteers, on their arrival at head quar-
tcrs. will receive orders to counter march
to protect their own homes, as the present

1t is stated that the Mexican forces are
again concentrating on San Antonio dc
Bexar, preparatory to making another at
tempt to overcome the Texans. This Is
certainly more probable than the previous
accounts of their rctreatins in confusion
from the country. Their forces already
in Texas arc stated at five thousand.
We are told that Santa Anna has hard
" recovered from the surprise which he
felt at not having been instantly executed,
in revenge for the barbarities which he
had committed upon the unfortunate Prls-
oncrs that had fallen into his hands. In
this the TEXANS have done noblv. Their
forbearancc in this instance, is the most
glorious victory of the two. 1t will teach
to their enemy the broad distinction be.
tween savage and civilized warfare, and
will confer on themselves lasting honor,
which could net have been earned by
oceans of bloodshcd.
