In the first pac of to days' paper, will
be found an outline of the transactions between the general government, the state of Georgia, and the Creek Indians, for the
last thirty years. The subject is impor
tant, and the piece merits an attentive
reading. A eold medal of Washington, present-
ed to him by his country at the close of
the Revolution, and piously preserved in
Ins family, l till another vv ashington has
arisen for the deliverance ot his country,

chief, (painted 59 years ago,) were preacnted on the 2d inst. at the city of Wash

I have, by virtue of the authority vested

to compose my staff and military family xiz :

On the morning of the 25th August,
white Mr. Joseph Sweet, was at work in
bis corn field about five miles above this place, he was shot through the thigh by
some person concealed for that purpose. He is yet living, and probably will recov
er. Two persons have been tried before
a magistrate, on suspicion, and committed, to await their trial at the nest Cir

LITER ANY PRIZES Genius is a delicate plant, that too olten droops in the wilderness, when it might become the
pride of the garden. In Europe it is im
mediately noticed by rank, and conse
quently fostered by wealth. Due of the
few blessings of a monarchial govern
ment, is the patronage which literature
and the fine arts always receive from the. nobility, and often even from royalty itself. Not, perhaps, because the higher
ranks arc best judges of the works of
taste, or the most benevolent ol heart; but
simply, because such acts secure them
thr ivnut.ilinn nf hotli. Hut let the HUT
tivc be what it may, the end is the same
literature and the arts are encouraged
In this country a very different state of
things exists; and therefore a very du
fcrcnt mode should be adopted for producing similar desirable effects. Erom recent experience there is no doubt in our minds, that the offering of prizes, such as medals, cups, rings and cash, is the best posmMc method of draw ing forth native talent. Societies ought to be instituted for this very purpose; and we venture to say, that if half the money which ha been squandered on trifling subjects, had been appvoptiatod, in this way, oir counu v would be lulf a century in advance ol what she actually U. As an humble mite towards the creation of such an intellectual treasury, we offer the sum of one hvnurk dollars for articles adapted to the character and objects of our paper. 1st.
