feathers, of tinsel and mock cutlasto, bus
romc around w ith the spring, and put hi re
quisition the tapping* ?? hist year, remind
ing ns of a thousand amusing incidents which
ot cut-red in times tint have pone, when we
u.cd to iau^h out* fill at i he cni-faun figure
which msiio of out citizen soldier* m.ule, in
die art and mystery ot war. U was ? laud
able zeal that buoycd them up. ami made
them feel that the doings ot a C.csar and u
Hannibal was mere boy's play to what might
have been achieved in those days or will lie
achieved in these. Hat, laudable as it was,
one could not f a- his soul avoid a hearty
laugh, a thrice hearty laugh, that shook ev
try bo?e, every n?u:;Jc, even' nerve, from
crown to heel.
We well recollect a brigade re view, 1'fdiT
nt Berkley last autumn, which was the
drollest of these droll exhibitions- Tliev
wei f. in a line which extend* d for mote than
a mile, the yeoman guard i f Bristol countt,
men who had worked and could figliA, with
locks that bent all way*, and untutored toes
thut stared each othei in the face ; now a
white cotton hat, surmounted with a red
plume, that looked as though it had been
dipped in "all thu blood of all i he Howard*."
And beside it a white one that had decked
as proud, although not so distinguished a
warrior, but yesterday, and th-.T to", in a
similar way, if wc tcvcrse ihc eial on Much
it was worn. Time were all manner ?f
head-dresses, of all descriptions, old a?d
new, gn.at ami tmall, from to felt, from
down to wool. Their coat* ton, had been
worn fr??n the tiiiih day of tune, to the eve
of the American revoluion, and from that
time to the present. One little " icrawiry"
dragoon in particular, drew our attention ?
an hundred pound weight would have made
itiin kick the beam in any honest scale, and
yet the itiukiloonshc wore would have loose
ly fitted a man of two bundled stone. When
he dismounted, the sent thereof approxi*
mated v? ry nearly to his heels, and when lie
got upon bis hrtrsc thvrc was nothing visible
bat tne ears ot that Aiiimul ; the whole com
pany could hute changed direction from
4ront to rear, within the garment, and known
ii" want of room ; and yet the little man felt
.is ;f his limbs strained each individual scam,
orul caused every stitch to groan ks in the
days of its original possessor. Nor was tins
p solitary instance. Hundicds of others,
not (pute so glaring, but almost as laughable,
occurred all along the line. Sometimes n
knapsack 'hat could hold u load of li-ay,
reared its huge form upon the shoulders ofi
ii youth barely eighteen, who hud girded
himself for tlu review out of pure patriot

The colonel of one regiment waa the pro

the brigade would permit him, he was with
In the Irooth, dealing out Yankee military
t/ilrU to hU men. A newly elected captain
who served under him, wished to give hit
men a proof of the obligation he waa under
to them in advancing him to the comrannd.
He struck a bargain with hi* colonel, and
advanced to the head of hin company :

a-manner that showed each of them to be I

colonel mcy went, and in about fivcmiuutcsl
were on their march bick, each with gin-1
gerbread enough in his list to (uruislt a whole I
platoon with rations f?t a month.
There too, on the extreme left of the bri- !
gade, was the Assouct Light Infantry, whoi
gave their commuiidcr an infinite deal *?t"}
tr< ul>le by their very cleverness. He would ?
stand with his men in line mayhap for the i
spare of a minute, quiet enough mid ordcrlv I
enough* when of n sudden they would anth

aMurnnrtii of the rcgiud which thev enter

the commnndcr. " Well captnin, when you
want us to fire, only let iih know, and we'll

to remain uitt:I the spirit again moved them
out.
Tiiv ('itKitoxv K.s.?We perceive by the
Philadelphia p.ipeis that John l{oss, Chief of
the Cherokee nation of Indinns, Cap!. Tay
lor, Mi. (iunthei and Mr. (toody, titnulor*
? ?f the nation, armed in that < itv on thr .Id
ins'.. This deputation it is stated, have been
for the last lour months, "endeavoring to en
list the feelings of the I'.xecutive to intercede
with the government of(ieorgiu, for the per
manent establishment of their legitimate
rights to the residue of property, left them
by the rapacity of the white men." We are
gratified to find by the annexed paragraphs
th it thr mission of these ambassadors has
probably eventuated, as we had reason to ex
pect from the character ?'f tin: present
l%xeruiive lor decision of character, and
a proper idea of Indian mid State llights:
I'runi the (ir'jr^ia Stale*num.
We stated in our last p iper upon the nu-1
thoritv of the Al ihama Journal, that the a
j gent of t!?e Creek Indians had been dircct
. id to remove Ins agency west of the Missis-'
I sippi. It k now understood here that simi- j
lav direction* have been given to the a
I gent of the Chcrokecs, ami that this tribe '
| :i^ ? w ill of consequence be compelled to fo|- (

l'rum t-'.r .V. ut.'n l it JfrCtviIvr.
We are gratified to leant from tin most
unquestionable authoiit\, that there is a
good prospect of soon obtaining pos<cs.?ion of
the Cherokee lauds. In a conversation
with one (1 our members of Congress, the
President recngnmed, in its full extent, the
doctrine contended for bv (ieorjria, that the
Clicrokees cannot be suffered to erect a gov
ernment for themselves within the bound*
of a sovereign State?that (Jeorgi i has a
pcifeci right to extend her mnimipal laws
over them?--and that there remains for
tin in, lni. the alternative of removing
West of the Mississippi, or submitting to
tin* laws of (icorgia.
This is the ground we exper ted the Presi
dent to take. Let him persevere in it?
and one great cause of dissatisfaction in the
<iencrnl Clnvei omcnt will be icmovcd, as fai
as r.onoerns (icorgin.
Wis learn further from a gentleman of
this State who has tciciitly been among the
".herckces, that the snitit of emigration s
beromiug popular with that tribe. A con
siderable numlwr have sold .heir Improve
iicut* to the United States, for whit li ttlcs
tic p.ild liberally, and have enrolled them

them beyond the Mississippi. It is Mippos

A mcmlwrr o? Congress from Alabama,
win m we met with a day or two ok" on hi*
way home from Washington, informs us
tlmt the statement published by u* last week
from the Montgomery paper* of the Creek
Agent'* having been directed to remove In*
Agency to the country appropriated to tiie
emigrating Indians, webt of the Misslssppi
is not entirely correct. The Agency l? not
to be removed immediately"?but the Agent
hint induction* from thu President to uw
all his exertions to procure the rcmovid of
the Indian* an m?ch ??, possible, and to let
them uiulerttund d UtUictly ,t luit Mich .us
choose to remain must bo subject to tin- l.'.ws
of Alabama. Our informant conversed with
both thu President nnd Creek Agent on the
subject- We have no doubt similar instrnr
tions have, or will he, given* to thtiiAcciit of
trie Cherokee*.

that he h;id willed h-s hudy for dissection to

that no impediment might bo tin-own in the

1*1. I believe that the indisMihiblc union *

which faction should never tamper, which

solemnly iin|/rcsscd upon t!??? minds of th?
rising genciatioii, and whiih should be he'd
universally and everlastingly wared.
I helieve however. Hint when union cea
ses to lie (ho creature of tne constitution, it
ceancs to lie precious?that losing its ven
ei.ihlc character as a fundamental scheme of
!;ovirnniciil, deliberately framed bv the
Amei ii an people, it becomes nothing hettci
ih.in a wretched i'lstnnneiit for gieedy mo
nopolists--. an active promoter of noisy and
diksoci.il (actions, and a plausible covering
for the vili* put pases of tyranny?that all at
tempt > either directly or imMrcCtly to per

constitutional union is suend, should be
viewed with the deepest abbotrenc.c, n* tm
unholy c-ll'ort la e.invert what our fathers
conceived, and w hat we believe, the hav
nionizmy: m.d invigorating ccment of our
country, into a dreadful i ursc, fraught with
deadliest mischief to our |?enplc.
1 believe, that instead of t/liunhn by Atcfr
usurpation, experience has warned its, and
warn* u* now, that consolidation under the
gradual encroachments of federal ambition.
Ih the growing danger that most ;iccply
threatens the welfare and liberties of the
i United States?that mic.Ii is and has been tli'*
I fr.iiltr <>1* human n iture in all age* of the
I world, that men already in power, are prone
(to abuse it for the unwarrantable ac<piisltinn

I federal administration more allurements and

extended sphere for its pernicious ? xercisr.
than i an exist in (lift more confined limits < f
I st;?tc policy?that the former is an elemen'
| where great talents can in Keticrul only
, liie, and where restless and dangerous Am
! bition must in the nutui? of tilings grow up.
?that this i* a qu irte* therefore, to which
jour people sh-aild extend a determine"! ami
junwavering watchfulness?that whenevet
: wc see heiea spifit of usurpation manifest
,ed in theerv, or flowing forth into praetice,
it is our du'v with all the powcis of u well
regulated freedom to x>nnd forth a jnightv
alarm, mid that ut'iiti'.? litv under such cir
cuinstaucts is nothing better than tacitly
sanctioning the tiansgrcssion, and indolently
' slumhcrtiiK before a Hatne which threatens
to consume us.
I hclieveth.it that disposition which ?eek'>
j for a iticiiiifntr in ihe construction which it
{cannot find in the rr/imtHiotit of a clear nml

(a dnngeroim spirit of perversion, nml
in ftohticy, an ambitious temper, striving to
