INDIAN TROUBLES IN GEORGIA—1825. From the earliest periods of the colonial retileménts it purchages of their territory, to remove the Indians fur- ther and further to the West. Under this policy in the Northern and Middle States they bad be- come nearly extinct; in the South and West they still remained numerous and formidable, and owned vast bodies of land—in Georgia, nines half million of acres; in Alabama, soven anda half milion; in Missia- eippi, fifteen and three quarter millions; in the Territory of Florids, four millions; in the Territory of Arkansas, fifteen and a half millions; in the State of Missouri, two millions and three-quarters; in Indiana and Mlinois, fif- teen millions, and in Michigan, east of the lake, seven millions, All these States were naturally anxious to get possession of there lands and be relieved of the unwel- come red men within their limits. Georgia held the United States bound by a compact to relieve her, by which the general ‘oment agreed, in consideration of Georgia reli her claim to the Mississippi Territory, to extinguish at the national expense the Indian title to the Jands ‘+ whenever it could be peaceably and upon reasonable terms.” Since making that agreemen: the government had extinguished the title to about fifteen fom acres, and conveyed the same tothe State of ‘gia. There still remained 9 537 000 acres in the pos- ‘@ersion of the Indians, of which 5,292,000 acres belonged to the Cherokees and the remainder to the Creck ration, Shortly before the termination of Mr. Monroe's adminie- ‘tration, the State government became very urgent for ‘he entire removal of the Jnaians, and at the solicitation of the Governor two Commisgio"ens were appointed to wake a treaty with the Creeks for the purchase of their lands. This was a treaty negotiated on the 12th of February, 1825, the famons Chiet, General William Mclo- ‘tosh, signing it'in the presence of Mr. Crowell,‘the United ‘States Indian Agent, by which all the Croek country aud @evera) million of acres in Alabama were ceded to the United States. Compiaints followed it to Washtogtoa as baving been concluded by McIntosh without the autho. rity of the nation. The ratification of the treaty wag Opposed, but was finally carried by the strong wote of thirty-four to four. This sanction on reaching the ears of the digcoutentei Creeks produced great excitement, and a secret council of the mation being called, th'y resolved not to accept the treaty. The death of Mcintosh wos determined on, and | on the 30th of April his house was surrounted by a party | who shot him and another chief, and burned his pre- miser. This presented a new question, ani Georgia, deter- mining te execute the treaty at all hazards, by taking = of the ceded terrivory, a controversy resulted | yween that State and the general government.

Moswhile, the President treated further, and essembling the head men of the Creeks at Washington, in January, |, concluded j anew treaty, which was substituted for tho old one, | whereby all the lands in Georgis were ceded, but none | im Alabama. Notwithstanding the opposition of the | Georgia delegation in Cuagress, the new treaty wasra- | tiled by the Senate at the ensuing session by a vote of thirty to seven, and the appropriations were made by ‘the Houre of Representatives by a vote of one hundred and sixty seven to ten. Thus was carried into effect, after a delay of a quarter | ofacentury, and after great and just complaint on tho | rt of Georgia, the compact between that State and the ited States of 1402. This disturbance was ina measure renewed in 1830, when th» Indians claimei to be an independent pe pie | under the treaty, but by the cnergetic action of the Georgia Legislature it was speedily quelled and order | restored. done it THE NULLIFICATION TROUBLES OF 1832. Few events of a logislative character more disturbed | tho general government than did those growing ont of ‘the celebrated Tariff question, and finally resulting in the passage by South Carolina of what haye since been known as the Nullification resolutions of 1632. ‘The agitation of this question commenced in tho year 1828, the bill introduced in Congress that year being ohiofly the work of manufacturers and politicians, and designed for the benefit of the woollen tnterost; but it was eventually made to include a sufficient variety of manu- facturing to give it the strength necessary to its success. | Introduced in the politics of the day it became an | | party claimed Fhe Legiehsture of Virginaalto de. its assent to te 8 an same priaciplo ‘of nulhfeation by a vote of wear bos Yi be dimsotveds a pa nny spirit by the Stato of Nopsh Caroline, whieh, thoogh het seals ail vekent weak argent ‘Slama, ‘at viel measures ated, bke her sister States of Virginia, South Oso.

At such a crisis the President felt there was no room for hesitation. The ordmanco, signed by more than one hundred citizens of the greatest reepectability, was officially communicated to Jackson in the first days of Deecmber, and on the 10h of that month he issued Bis famous’ proclamation, in which was forcibly and plainly stated the nature ef the American government; the provended right of sovereiguty was denied; the su: pms. of tbe federal goverament declared, and an ex- tation made to the citigens of South Carolina not to persiat in « course which must bring apon their State the force of the covfederacy, and expose the Union to the bazardof diesolution, At the same time all the dispoea- ‘vie military force was ordered to assemble at Charleston, and a sloop of war was rent to that port to protect the federal officers, if necessary, im the discharge of their duty. Meanwhile General Jackson bad been clected to a sepond term of the Presidency, and on the opening of the Cougrees immediately following this event bo communt cated a message to that body vetting forth the foregoing facts. The several Stites of Massachnsotts, Connecticu’, New York, Delaware, Tepnersee, Indiena aad Missouri disclaimed the doctrine of nullification, and the State of Virginia, while reweertirg the principles of the Vir- ginm resolutions of 1793, stated that they did Lot consider them as eanctioning the proceed of either South Carolina or ths President's proclamation, and earnestly recommended that State not to proceed further under the ordinance of their Convention.

Thovgh an insignificant affair in its natural aspecte, as regards either extent or influence, Dorr’s rebeiljon in Rhode Island may be ranked among the “shocks” which have been experienced by the body politic since its orgauzation, andas such a brief history of the same is here inserted. The circamstances were briefly these:—The government of Rhode Island, in 1853, was based upon a charter granted by Charies 1I., in 1668, and the apportionment of representation in the Legislature was greatly at variance w.th the distribution of population. ‘The elective franchise was limited to the holders of a certain amoun of real estate and to their eldest sops. About one-third only of the citizens were voters. About this time ‘Thomas W. Dorr, a lawyer, born in Providence, ap peared upon the stags, and, being elected a mem ber of the Assembly, exerted himself for a num. ber of years to procure the substitution of a Liberal constitution in place of the old ebarter; but his movement for reform obtained in the ‘egisiature only seven out of seventy votes. He then resorted to popa lar rgitation, and organized a suffrage party in opposition to the charter party. Afver holding several large mass conventions in 1841, this suilrage party callod a delegate State Convention to frame a new constitution, which was submitted for ratification to the popalar yote. It-re- ceived fourteen thousand yotes—a clear majority of the citizens of the State. The charter party, however, con- tended that the whole ing was seditious, and tnat & large proportion of ‘votes were fraudulent. Mr. Dorr, t differently, however, and assuming | that the constitution was tbe fuodamental law of the State, proceeded in accordance with it to hold au election for State ofticers. Mr. Dorr was chosen Governor, and a Legislature compared exclasively of his supporters was elected, to meet at Providence on the first Monday of May, 1842. The charter party also held an clection for State offieers, polling 6,700 votes, while the suffrage to have polled 7,360. ‘On the 34 of May Dorr’s government attempted to organ- ize at Provigence and seize the reins of power. They were resisted by the legal State government, which assembled fat Newport on the same day, and at tue head of which ‘was Gov. Samuel W King. Both sides appealed to arms. The excitement was intense, and the poopie flocked to the respective standards in large numbers from various ‘New Fngland States. Gov. Kfog proclaimed the State under martial law, call- ed oot the militia and asked and obtained the ait of the United States to suppresa the treason. On the 18th of Mey a portion of the suffrage party assembled at Provi- denee under arms and attempted to setze the arsenal, but were dispersed Ly Gov. King and a military force. They assembled again, to the number o! several hundred, May 26, 1842, at 'Chepachet Hill, ton miles from Providence, but ‘again disperred on the approach of the State forces. Three days afterwa-ds the affuir was over. Dorr fied from the State, end took refuge first in Con. necticut, and then in New Hampshire.

Down to this period never was our country more dis. turbed by excitement or threatened with division than during the legisiation which followed the Mexican war in 1848, 1749 and 1550, with reference to the organization of the territory acquired by that contest. Utah, then under a spiritoal despotism, and New Mexico, under a military rule, voth waited the application of the great prircjple which was to determine their future govern- ment and destiny. California, already occupied by a large and cxterprising population, who bad imbibed their ideas of progress in every section of the Union, tircd of the delay of Congress, had had gove forward, formed a State cmsetitution of their own, and wore knocking at the doors of Congress for ad- mission into the confederacy.

A Territorial govermment was eetablishe: for Utah by not of Congress September 9,1850 Brigham Young was ap pointed iaefirst Governor op the 20:) of the same month, and held the ofliee until 1868. He was atthe same time the heed of the Morn:on Church ciilled the Latter Day Saints. Hence his power was absolute over both church and State. Without detailing ine occurrences, it is safficient to remark that his rule proved so arbitrary that ali the officers of the United States, judicial and executive, found it neccesary for their own personal safety to with- draw from the Territory, 60 that there was left no other government than the despotisin of Brigham Young. In this aspect of affairs the President, in 1857, appoint- ed a new Governor and other federal officers, and sent them 9 military force for their protectiou end aid, in case of need, in the execution of the laws. Against this pro- ceeding Governor Yourg strongly protested, and in a prociamation ¢eclared hie determ. vation to maintain, at apy and alt hazards, his power in the Ierriiory. He pro- vided hit poopie with the arms und wimitions of war; Fecured the alliance of sowe of the neighboricg Tudians, and laid in a store of provisions for three years, which, in cape of necessity, he ixiormed one of the otlicers of the army, he would conceal, and then ‘‘take to the mountains and bid deflanee vo all the powers of the gove:nmeut.’’ Subseqmently a stroage: force was sent into the Terri- tory, but this only served to cxasperate the Mormons more than ever, and they retaliated by murders, depre- dations, and the destruction of wagon trains with army supplies, whenever the opportunity presosted. Finally, through the futerposition of Colonel thomas P. Kane, a brother of the Arctic navigator, who had been among the Mormens for severat yeare, Covorner Young and Gover- nor Cumming were brought together in Salt Lake City. The army were reanwiile encamped with- out, ond at this confereuce, on the assurance by the latter that tho object of the United States government im sending a military force iato the country was merely for the protection of United States officers od the exccntion of Territorial laws, and not to interfere with any of the local, domestic or rell- gious institutions of the Territory, Governor Young made 4 nominal withdrawal ot his opposition to the ge- peral goverrment, and recogn'zéed his successor. fact, however, he is still as much a: the head of Stato and church as ever, aud a single word from him is sutilcient to raise the whole people in open rebellion. On this determination cf the difficulty the troops were par- tally withdra®a, and the Mormon people are progres*ing peacefully in their siogular career, THE DISSOLUTION OF THE UNION. Our narrative is now brought down to the present mo- ment—-an era, the details of which are too fresh to re- quire recapitulation. Within two months six States have seceded from the Union and formed a confederate govern- ‘ment of their own, which has gone into active operation. Others are wavering. A new administration is about coming into power, and all eyes are anxiously turned to the individual whom is expected to emanate the rentiments that to determine the weal or woe of our country. ‘The inaugural has already been given to the country, ‘but while it is claimed to be firm and conciliatory on the one hand, on the other, in the minds of the of the South, it breathes naught but coercion, and bas driven them to measures of preparation for defence. The present is dark and lowering. The future has not yet revealed a single ray of sunshine. Yet, amid all this moral turmoil and preparation for civil war, in spite of the dangerous aspect of national affairs, the cry from thore who have the power to still the tempest is “No compromise.” The few patriots who have urged mea- eures of adjustment upon the country haye been cast. in the shade, and instead of the rainbow of peace, all that looms before the saddened vision of the true lover of his country is the “‘magniticently stern array” of batle—tho clash of resounding arms and the red glare of an intestine war, - AcapENyY or Music —The final evening performance o the present season, which has been, considering the cir cumstances under which it was commenced, wonderfully successful, was given last night.

Our well known fellow citizen, Signor Gajani, delivered a very interesting lecture on this supject at eight o'clock Thursday evening before the Geographical and Statistical Society, in Clinton Hall, Astor place. There was a very re- spectable attendance of the intellectuality of the city. Mr. Gejani began by say ing that the political greatness of Italy had always depended upon her geographical po- sition. Italy was independent of all other nations, baving in herself the clements of national prosperi- ty. The time was near at hand when this land would take the lead in once more opening” up the ancient road of commerce to the Fast. Italy bad never been united except under the Romans, and it was nearly fourteen centuries ago since she had lost her dis- Cnet nationality. But the Italians had always felt that hey should be an independent nation. For this idea a. bave lived and struggled, and fought and diod. And to the joy of the liberal worl4, the day of Italian freedom had come at last. The lecturer went on to consider the state of parties ia Europe at the present time. He considered that, within afow years, the army of Italy would equal that of Francs, and she would ‘a8 A DAVY inferior to that of Englaud. such @ case Italy wou! be the umpire betwoun the two great Western nations, for neither England nor France would make war upon each other without first knowing the views of the united Tower of lity. As for Austria, eho was no longer re- garded a8 anation. She was only a Power comp eedjof a nun. ber of oppressed nationalities ready to revolt against ber at any momen’. The power of Austria was no longer formidable to the cavee of liberty and tiaman righ's; aad all she could do would be to & terpose her vo'ce, which the strength of Italy never could fear. (Applaye,) Mr. Gajani then spoke of Proposed opening of the Isthmus of Bvez, and contended that commerce bad once more to en- ter npon ite ancient rou. He very eloquently and clesrly showed from bistorical mony the efforts of Serostris, Alexander the Great ani Ptolomeve and his euccesrors to establish this great route, and the at- temp's failed to be sucecestol Cleopatra did every thing in her power to complete the work, but her empire fell into roi, md the project was interrnpted. ‘The Romans followed én the antns way, and Trajav ond Adrian exerted all thetr iaflusnce in be- hali of this great work of civiliza:ion.

It is pretty well settled that their mission will prove a failure. Mr. Lincoln has de- cided upon the policy he intends to pursue, and it will be fully carried out by Gen. Scott, through the War and Navy departments. . General Scott, Secretary Holt, General Came- ron and the Secretary of the Navy were in confe- rence for several hours to-day. They were ar- ranging matters looking to the reinforcement of forts Sumter and Pickens, and it will be carried out very elaborately. General Scott has been studying this matter fully for some time, and it is understood, has arranged it to his entire satisfaction. He is of the opinion that reinforcements can be thrown into Fort Sumter easily and with but little loss of life. Ma- jor Anderson, however, is of a different opinion. He believes it would be useless to send less than fifteen or twenty thousand men to Charleston har- bor. This number would be able to silence their batteries dnd other means of defence, and suc- cessfully reinforce Sumter with men and supplies. Both arms, the Army and Navy, of the govern- ment will be actively employed for some time to come in earrying out the policy of the new ad- ministration. Orders to this effect have, it is be- lieved, already been issued; and it was for this reason that Colonel Cooper, Adjutant General, through whose department all orders have to be issued, resigned his position in the army. There will be other resignations of distinguished officers when this matter is fully known. The events of the next two wecks South will be exceedingly interesting and highly imp8$rtant.

Wasuserow, March 8, 1861, All the naval shipe now on the Pacific and in the Medi- terranean have been ordered homo to enter No:thera ports. This looks a little squally. ‘The troope that were under Twiggs’ command in Texas, twenty-five hundred in number, have been ordered to take up their line oT march for tho North forthwith. Some of them will come to this city. Others have been ordered to other pos's. All the troops now in New Mexico have been recalled. THE CONFEDERATE STATES ERS.

The difficultion nggested by tho Bena: in regard to the collection of the federal revenues in the receded Stater will probably be disevesed in the Cabinet to-mor row, and the administration may be driven to call an ox- tra ression of Congress for relief, including a special in- vitation to the seceded States, From all appeatances, nothing but a eal! of Congrees will save us from war. INTERESTING FACTS AND RUMORS. Wasnrvetow, March 8, 1861, The republican organization of the Senate, with such chairmen of chief committees as Sumner, Hale, Wi'ro: Trumbull ond Wade, indicates a radical abolition en premacy in that body, which, if necessary, will dregoon the acminiatration into extrome meseures.
