Transportation Of hdians.-The following
paragraph shows some of the difficulties with
which the project of transporting the Indians
to the Western Wilderness is attended. In
addition it may be easily imagined, that the
wretched eInigrants have much to snffer, on
their arrival in strange country, perhaps in
presence Of formidable enemies, and very i'm
perfectly supplied with tho means of subsist-
ence.
MONTGOMERY, Al, July I6.-About three
thousand Indians left our wharves on Thurs
day last, on boaad tho steamboats, Lewis
Cass and Meridian, for their destined home
across the Mississippi, under charge Of Lit.
Barry, of the u. s. Army.
From the inauspcious season Of the year,
and the crowded state Of the boats, it is but
reasonable 10 expect that the Indians will on
the route, suffer much from disease. We
look forward TO suca result, but hope for
different one.
Previous to the departure ofthc Indians
from this place, many serious disturbances
occurred. Upon tho requisition OF the Gov.
ernor Of Georgia, preparations were making
TO so chain and fetter some l2 or IS Of these
deluded wretches that there could be no es-
cape, when one, by sudden aud energetic
enort, succeeded in getting from the grasp
OF those IN whose possession he was--raised
hammer, and inflicted very severe blow
upon the head Of one Of the guards--gave the
war wboop and then took TO fight-he was
Immediately shot dead by a Mobile volunteer,
and another bayoneted and died in u few
hours.
On the same evening three succeeded in
escaping from the gunrd--one was on Thurs
day brought into town under arrest--and
while proceeding through the street in a
Wagon, took q large knife and cut bis throat.
and instantly expired. Such is the dcspera.
ton Of these beings rather than be given 10

Il Total abstinence .iian.--I.cwis Cass,
(Iate Secretary Of War,)a man respected by
oil parties for his talents and worth, who has
held muny responsible situation. in public
life, and has now received the appointment OF
Minister to France, furnishes the following
testimony in relation to the use Of arden
spirits:-
81 have never tasted any ardent spirits, nor
have !, at any time, during my life, been in
the habit Of drinking wine. 1t is of course
almost useless to add, that know nothing of
the effects Of stimulating liquors upon the
constitution, except by observing them in
others. ] have, perhaps, during portion of
my life, been as much exposed as most men.
Having lived since boyhood, in a new coun-
try; having served in the army during war,
and having been led by official duties to trav-
ersc almost all the western region north of
Ohio, and east Of the Mississippi; it is impossi-
bic to say what effects would have resulted
from the use of stimulating liquors, at periods
Of great exposure aud fatigue. ! can only
say, that have done well enough without
them"

or Massachusetts.

WAsmiNGroN's FAREWELL ADDRESS.
The reference to draught OF Wash
ington's Farewell Address, said to have
been found among Mr.. Madison's pa
pers, has called from MIR. J. SrARKs, Of
Boston, a communication to the Daily
Advertiser Of that city, which, with the
documents it covers, will be found on our
first page and read with no ordinary in
terest. The letter from Gen. Washing
ton to Mr.. Madison bears the stamp Of
his character. 1t is marked by all the
sound and discriminating good sense,
which was Washingtop's characteristic,
and points out with unerring judgment
every leading thought and topic, which
Mr.. Madison subsequently embodied in
his own condensed and eloquent diction.
This draught, however, comprises few
only Of the elements Of the great State
paper which was finally promuIg ated.-,
The lapse Of four years Of his second
Presidcncy-the crowd Of events, which
gave it an unexampled interest--the
change in the aspect Of our foreign rela-
tions-the principles Of international law,
which were then discussed and firmly
adhered to-and the ever varying fuc-l
tuations Of our political parties-afforded
to his last impressive benedictions SO
many new and pregnant illustrations, that
the Farewell Address, as we now have
it, both in matter and manner, is es-
variant from Mr.. Madison's
draught, and may be considered in effect
an original state paper. Mr. Sparks,
whose letter we publish, is well known
as an accomplished Editor and author, to
whom the Washington papers were COM
nitted by his family-and under whose
they are now in course

! A Wholesale Srindier. Charles Adams
alias John Browne, and dozen other names,
was examined before the Police Court in
Boston, on Monday, on charge Of over-draw-
ing at the Hancock Bank, and then abscon-
ding. II appears that he has carried on this
business very extensively. The amount Of
the entertainments already sscertained, are
as follows:--Hancock Bank, Boston, "a, ,41O;
Traders $4,000; Bunker Hill $3.50; Nshant,
Lynn, $3.50; Fairhaven $50; Portland 25O-
Ills uniform plan has been to open deposite
account with bank, and under pretence Of
going into business, make frequent dcposites,
and frequent drafts; ill he saw an opportunity
Of presenting his checks for much larger
amount than his balance in deposite amount
cd to. In the hurry Of business his checks
we're paid a. n matter Of course, and before
the amount that he bad overdrawn would be
discovered, Adams was among the missing.
The prisoner was held to bail in the sum
Of 5000 dollars and committed for the want
thereof
The above swindler attempted to defraud
the Banks, in this city, some weeks ago, but
failed entirely Of success.-fS1lem Observer.
