This gentleman has formerly been em- poyed by the Government in the transaction of pub lie business with the Indians on our western from tior; and, from his long experience, and his high reputation for capacity and integrity, we anticipate that the interests of his clients will be ably repre- sented and full and ample justice done them.

 And, though last not least, we ought not to omit to mention that Gen Mason is accompanied by his two accomplished and interesting daughters, who appear to have borne their long journey extremely well.

 The Commissioners and party left, for Fort Glib son, in the Cherokee Nation on yesterday morning, in special Post Coach and our-the water being too low for seamboats to run above this place al the present tune.
