This party General Gaines declares en-
braces forty-nine hfteths of the Greek ma
tion, all of whom strongly and unanimously
objected TO the late treaty, as the offspring
of Fraud entered into contrary to the known
law and will of the nation-and by persons
not authorised to treat.-They refused to
receive any part of the consideration mo-
ney due under the treaty, or to give any
other evidence Of their acquiesence in it.


With regard to the survey of the land, the
turning point of hostility, General Gaines
writes thus:


"The certificate. of which enclose here
with copy, marked A, added to the decla-
rations of the chiefs in council, of whom Jo-
seph Marshall was the principal, and in
trepreter, proves that your Excellency has
been greatly deceived, in supposing that
the NJ Intosh party ever consented to the
survey of the ceded Territory being COM
| menccd before the time set forth in the trea-
ty for their removal. This fact giving alto
gether a new aspect to the subject of the pro-
posed survey of the land, added to a strong
conviction on my mind, that the attempt to
| make the surveys would be 4 positive viola
| ton of the Treaty-and will, under existing
causes of excitement, be certain to produce
acts of violence upon the persons or proper
ty of unoffending Indians, whom we are
bound to protect, it becomes my duty to re-
monstrate against the surveys being com
menced until the Indians shall have remov-
ed agreeably to the Treaty. cannot doubt
that the facts disclosedby the accompanying
certificate, with the concurrent testimony OF
the Chiefs in Council, will induce your Ex-


cellency, without hesitation, to abandon the


project of surveying the land, Ecfore the


month of September, 1896.


''This will be particularly gratifying tt


me, as it will relieve me of the painful duty


of acting, not in concert avHh the venerateC


authorities Of an enlightened and patriot,
: member of the United States--to whom


stan, pledged by every principle of honour
and Under the soemnity Of an oath to serve


them honestly and faithfully"


So little danger does the General appre
: hend from any offensive measures OH thu
/, part of the Greeks opposed to M'lhtosh
that he has given Governor Troup official no


tice that there will be no occasion for call
ing into service any part Of the militia o
