THE WESTERN SUN.

VINCENNES, April 9, 1825. Mr. Stout -- You will oblige many of your fellow citizens by giving general notice in your paper, that many voters of Knox connty, being satisfied that BENJ. V. BECKES, and JACOB CALL, will with pleasure, serve the county as Representatives in the next Legislature to the best of their ability, are determined to vote for them at the next election. MANY VOTERS. Louisville, April 2, 1825. GENERAL JACKSON arrived at this place on Thursday last, about 11 o'clock, a. m. His arrival was announced by an American salute of 24 guns; and he was met on the bank of the river and welcomed to our town, by ten or fifteen hundred of our fellow-citizens. On Thursday night, at the request of the manager, he visited the Circus, where his entrance was heartily cheered by an audience of about 700 persons. After remaining at the Circus for about two hours, visited Mr. Guibert's ball room which was crowded with the beauty and fashion of the town. Yesterday morning he attended divine service, at the Episcopal Church; at 3 o'clock, p. m. he partook of a sumptuous dinner, prepared by Capt. Jas. Edmondson, at the Union Hall, with about one hundred of our most respectable citizens; and at night he visited the Theatre, which was crowded to overflowing. The reception of the General at this place, was altogether, worthy of our fellow citizens & their distinguished guest.

The welcome was general and of the most feeling and cordial character; unal-

loyed with any thing like personal adu-

lation, or vain pomp or parade. We

saw nor heard nothing, which could be

viewed in any other light, than the ex-

pression of the most sincere esteem of

freemen, for one of the greatest benefac-

tors of his country, now living. A simi-

lar expression of good feeling, has never

before been witnessed in Kentucky.

Advertizer.. BALTIMORE, March 12. We had the pleasure of paying our respects to the hero of New-Orleans, yes-

terday, at his lodgings, at Barnum's; and

our pleasure was not a little enhanced, at beholding at the threshold, as we were entering the door, the venerable Charles Carrol, of Carrolton, one of the only three

survivors of the signers of the declaration of independence, who had anticipa-

ted us, in visiting him whom the people

delight to honor. The ball in honor of

the gallant old General, at Mr. Barnum's hall, in Charles street, was splendidly attended by the beauty and fashion of the

city.

On entering the room, we discovered

some new arrangements not calculated on, from the short period allowed for

preparation. On the floor was tastefully

chalked a temple; on the entabliture,

the word UNION, encircled by a belt,

bearing on its base the word LIBERTY;

on the top, AGRICULTURE, supported on

either side, by commerce and manufac-

ture. The remainder of the floor was en-

riched by Grecian ornaments.

The adorning drapery was of Ameri-

can manufacture, elegantly festooned and

supported by an eagle. The angles of the room were diversified -- three of them with medallions, emblematical of agriculture, commerce and manufactures; the other, descriptive of peace, with two swords crossed, and pointed downward, entwined with a wreath. For this particular occasion, the orchestra was extended; the front of which was decorated with the manufactures of the state. The supper room was elegantly arranged, with a profusion of every thing, which the delicate fancy of the ladles could require or embrace, or the more solid wishes of the gentlemen could command. In a word, Mr. Barnum is entitled to much praise for the splendid and satisfactory manner in which this extensive ball and supper were provided for, at so short a notice. One of the military bands of our city aided in the successful efforts from the orchestra to please on the occasion. -- [Morn. Chron. WASHINGTON, Feb. 28th, 1825. Presentation of the Medals. -- Agreeably to appointment, and in obedience to the resolutions of Congress, the President of the United State, on Saturday last, presented, to the General Officers named below, the gold Medals voted to them by Revolutions of Congress, passod in the years 1814 and 1818, for gallantry and good conduct, in the battles of Chippewa, Niagara, Erie, Plattsburg, and the Thames, in Upper Canada, during the late war with Great Britain. The

delivery of the Medals took place, at the Mansion of the President, in the presence of the Secretary of State, of War, and of the Navy, several Members of Congress, Military officers, and many citizens, who attended to witness the ceremony. The following are the officers to whom Medals were delivered; Major General Brown, Major General Scott,

iiajui vitucai iw acorn n. Major General Harrison, Major General Gaines, (through Hon. Mr Houston.) Major General P. B. Porter, (through Hon. Mr. Marvin.) Brig. General Miller, (through Hon.

Mr. Webster.; The President accompanied the deliv

ery of each Medal with an appropriate

auuress, wnicu, witn tne respective replies, we expect to be enabled to publish in our next paper. The cerernonv was full of interest, as it was associated with the recollection of some of the most brilliant events of the late war. Itis a mat er of regret that General Gaines, who is in this city, was prevented by indisposition from attending and receiving his Medal in person. PUBLIC LANDS. The public lands ol the United States arc surveyed before they are c. fie red lor sale, and divided into townships six miles square, which arc subd Ued into 36 sections, one mile square The lands ae sold in whole, half, quarter, and eighth sections, that is, in parcels of 640, 320, I 60, and 80 acres. Ail sales are to be made in cash, and the lowest price is fixed at one dollar and twentyfive cents per acre, below which they cannot be disposed of Due notice is

M

The Creel Cession If the land lately reded by Cieeks extend to the Etowah

[or Hightower] Georgia, we estimate (says the Macon Messenger,) the area to be 8096 square miles, making 5,181,440 acres -- a territory not quite as large as

the state of New-Hampshire or Massachusetts, larger than New-Jersey, and larger than Rhode-Island, Connecticut, and Delaware, united. If, however, the cession extends only to the Chattahoochy, the length is about 140 miles, and the average width about 47 miles; making 6580 square miles, or 4,211,200 acres -- more than twice as large as the state of Rhode-Island and

Delaware together, and about equal to 16 or 17 counties of the size of Jasper. Georgian. Gen. Wm. Marks has been elected a Senator from Pennsylvania, to succeed Mr. Lowrie, after something less than one hundred ballotings! The S. B. Pioneer, Vail, master, arrived at Shawneetown, in eight days from N. Orleans -- average 155 miles per day. -- This is the quickest trip ever known. Ohio against the World.

The Delegation of Indians, led by Co. loncl Mf.nahd, who visited Washington for the purpose of making arrangements for the removal of their friends from the East to the West of the Mississippi, left here on Monday last, after having secured the acquiescence of the Government in their plan, and the adoption of measures to carry it into c licet. An assemblage of Indians on the East of Mississippi and who reside in Ohio, Indiana, Illitiois, Ike is authorized to take place at Yapahkennctta, in Ohio, where they arc to be met by Governor Cass, of Detroit, as Commissioner. In connexion with this general plan of removal and union, the Shawancsc, formerly of Cape Gerardcait, have made arrangements to have lands assigned them West of the boundary of Missouri, in exchange for those once owned by them at Cape Gctatdeau; and this trust has been assigned to Gen Ct,uKf,, of St Louis. The just claims of those Indians, for improvements abandoned by them at Cape Geratdeau, and for injuries committed by the whites, are also directed to be settled. We learn that if the meeting, which is to take p'aec at WapahUcnnctta, results as the Indians themselves wish it may, that the removal of liom twelve to fifteen tribes, and remnants of ti ihes, will be effected by it.

To these subjects the attention of the

people cannot be too soon tinned they deserve a co'd ard sciious examination, and they will lcquirc, and most usefully employ all that the state can affoid of p dilical knowledge, genius, talent, and industry. It is highly necessary, indeed it is the bounden duty of the citizens of Knox county to select such Representatives at the approaching election, as poises information and talents to investigate, and independence Ik firmness to decide these great questions. Without honcit and impartial, intelligent and independent repicsentatives in the Legislature, wc aie worse than not represented and at the ensuing session, any other than such men will only serve to sanction the saciihcc of your dearest ifghts and inteies's. If such men can be found, 1 lepeat, it is our duty to bring them forwai d, to suppott, and to elect them. It was i.ot my intention to point out any pailicular individualsbut merely to call my fellow citizens to a little sciious it flection on the matter. However, I have heard two gentlemen suggested as proper persons lor the icptcsei.tativcs of our ccunty, and most watmly apph.ud ti e selection. One of them was a representative in the last lcgislatuie, the other represented our disttict iti the last session of congtess. Each of these gentlemen possess, and hate merited by their past conduct, the esteem and the confidence of the people. They are well known to possess independence, intelligence, and honesty have faithfully dischatged every public dutyand if elected to the lcgislatuie will be enabled by their experience in the mode of Hansacting business in public assemblies, to act for the hem fit of their consii;uents with case and iflicaty. This, with their character at home, and their standing throughout the state, will give them a weight and influence in the Legislature w hich no new member can hopr to possess. EK AN KLIN.
