A population Of the Mcnominco tribe Of Indians
passed through this city yesterday on their way to
Washington The company consist of nine men,
Oshkosh, the principal chief Of the tribe, being at
their head. Mr.. Bruce, one Of the sub gents and
a clergyman labOrng With the Indians, sccompa-
MED them. The object Of their visit TO the seat of
Government is to procure new grant of land.
Their present location is represented to be wholly
insufficient for their wants, aud they are good
deal troubled by their near neighbors, the Winnie
bagocs.
Since writing the above, we have learned some
additional particulars in regard TO the condition
and purposes Of these Indians, which imparts in
creasing interest to their case. They are poor,
and have been compelled TO borrow money with
which TO visit Washington. Captain Bullus, OF the
U. ). steamer Michigan, finding them at Green
Bay awaiting passenger boat, kindly took them
on board the Michigan and brought them to Mack
mac, to enable them to prosecute their journey at
as little expense az possible. These Indians have
been induced TO sell their lands on the Wisconsin TO
the Government, and to migrate in the fall 10 lands
assigned them in Minnesota. The character Of
this country, they say, was Represented as being
very desirable for their comfort and welfare such
az good fishing and hunting-as well as good land
for agricultural purposes.
Trusting on the representations made them as To
the eligibility of the lands in Minnesota "A treaty
was concluded which provides for their removal
this fall. IL seems, however, that, subsequent to
the rauhcation OF this treaty, they sent an cxplor
ing party to visit the lands in question, and they
are highly dissatisfied with the result. They report
that they were unable to discover game Of any de-
scripuon and the country nothing but poplar
swamp, situated between two other powerful tribes
OF hostile Indians, the Sioux and Winnebagocs.
They say If they arc forced to move, their small
tribe, numbering in the whole but about $500
souls, will he cxterminsted, either by the over
whclming numbers of their enemies or by the want
of food. These Indians have but little idea Of cul.
tivating the soil, and live principally by hunting
and fishing. Indeed they appear the most help
less creatures that can be imagined, and if their
statements TO be relied upon, they have been
hardly used. They hope TO avail themselves by
this mission Of tract OF country somewhere on the
borders Of Lake Superior, where they believe they
will be undisturbed by the white man.

The Macon Meeting.

Below will be found an account Of the mass
meeting recently held at Macon, Georgia. A
correspondent Of the Savannah Republican,
who was present, writes as follows concern

cuses for this failure. The hot weather will be

You may Judge Of the size of the meeting, when
! tell you that less than five hundred names have
been registered at the hotels. No delegations
campcd out all were at the public houses, except
few from the neighboring country. The audi
ence to-day numbered about two thousand, one
half Of whom were citizens Of this county, includ
ing ladies and gentlemen.
But what was lacking in numbers was made up
in sound and fury. Mr.. Rhet was the big gun,
and let of in formidable style. He advised a
temporary secession by Georgia from the Union.
With commendablc modesty he waived the post Of
honor for his beloved Carolina, but pledged her as
eager and ready to follow the lead Of Georgia.
Hanccy, OF Alabama, Colquiu, Howard, and n
number Of smaller orators, RECALLED their hearers
with good deal of blood and thunder, and almost
enyeloped the town in a sulphurous odor. Mr..
Stiles differed from Mr. Rhett, and raised HE voice
for the Union. One Of the speakers from Carolina
assured the crowd that the South Carolinians were

Nodlspositlon was manifested yesterday in the
House to proceed to prompt action on the Texas
Boundary bill and the pending amendments,
the proceedings in relation to them being linn
tied 10 couple of speeches, brief sketches of
which will be found under our congressional
head. The prospect Of a speedy adjustment OF
the distracting questions of the day, we regret
to say, is far from being bright one. We
trust, in day or two, however, to have it in
our power TO announce some decisive indication
of determination on the part of the House to
set resoutely to work, and, cost what it may in
the way of a sacrifice of mere individual opin-
ion, adopt the necessary measures for perna-
nently restoring peace and harmony to the
country.

tention of the audience for some time in his usual

made.

bled in Macon large number Of the beauty and

The republic. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1849-1853, 1850-08-31

The southern mails have been detained sew
eral days, in consequence of a severe gale last
Saturday night. The Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle
of the 9th ultimo says:
The storm Saturday, we fear has had a
most disastrous effect upon the cotton crop. Gen
tlemcn who have reached the city from different
counties represent it very destructive having
blown out large portion Of the open cotton, and
blown of a great quantity Of small bolls, forms,
and blooms.
1.-The destruction to the corn crops on the Sa.
vannah river, we fear, has been almost total on
many plantations, as the river is known to have
attained height which has inundated thousands
of acres. And the wind had blown down the
corn, large portion of it has certainly been COW
cred.
The river attained its greatest height, over
twenty feet, yesterday about noon and commenced
TO rcccde before night"
The CORstittioHaiist of the same date saws:
"From what can learn, this gale has extend
ed some distance west. passenger arrived yes
terday morning, from Montgomery, states that he
Travelled through most of it, and that il was very
severe, and did much damage this side Of Griffin.
The damage it has done 70 the growing corn and
cotton crops must be immense"
1t also says:
"The recent heavy rains have caused quite a swell
in our river, and il has risen since Friday last
some t~cnty-thrce twenty -four feet, running
over the bank below Dustin and Walkers ware
house, and over the upper wharves. This freshet
will do considerable damage to the corn crops be-
low, as nearly all of Beach island must be under
water. IL has also done considerable damag &c to the
cotton crop in bottom lands"
