He will call to his aid tal ent and tact, with the aim at once to instruct and amuse; and will engage correspondence abroad, in order that his readers may be enlightened upon every momentous topic which is agitated through out the Union, and in foreign countries. | 'T'he political character of the paper will be Re publican, in the most enlarged vense. The pub lisher is of the MApison school. He canuot conscientiously support the measures, much less the men, of the present administration of the Gen eral Government. An indiscriminate opposition, however, is not contemplated;—the right shall be sustained,—the wrong, wncompromisingly con demned. ! With respect to the exciting question of foster ing domestic manufactures and internal improve- | ments, it is well known, that the publisher has ev-| er been a warm advocate for the policy of protec- | tion: this, however, was a result, not of his c:-I | elusive attachment to those interests, but of al settled opinion, that a prosperous state of domustic ‘manufactures, and an improved gystem of land and water communications, would mightily subserve and extend the interests of Agriculture and Com merce. In this view of the subject, now so hap pily and abundantly fertified by the experience of the last fifteen years, protection to Manufactures and Internal Impravements will receive the steady .and cougistent support of the ChroNlCLE—while the great and diversified concerns of the Farmer, the Merehant, and the Mechanic,will be ardently, if not ably, sustained. | Advertisements will be inserted on the usual terms, and it is believed, that the circulation of the CuronicLe will repder it an advantageous me dium for advertisers. : Persons holding subscription papers are respect fully requested to return them to the residence of the undersigned, No. 97, Broad-street, near the new Brick market, or send themn to the Bookstore of Messrs. Hutchens and Shepard, No. 1, Market street, or to S. W. Wheeler, No, 1104 Westmin ster street, by the 16th September next. ; ‘ B. H. WHEELER. I Providence, sept. 1, 1831. I ECONOMY. OLD MADE NEW!!

From the Poston Recorder MISSIONARIES ARRESTI D, CHAINED, AND ABUSED The following letter, giving an account of some of the most unchristian outra ges that Christian missionaries, whether among the civilized or the barbarous, have in this age suflered, was received at so late an hour that we have not room to add a word of remark. Norisit nec essary that we should. Thesame thoughts must crowd on every honorable mind; the same feeling spring up in every human and generous bosom.—T'he letter is from the Rev. Samuel A. Worcester, to one of the Secretaries of the American Board of Foreign Missions, and is dated, Jail at Camp Gilmer,July 18, 1831, Early on Friday morning, July Bth, I with my guard joined sergeant Brooks, at the house of a near neighbor, and rode thence ten miles, to where Col. Nelson was, with a detachment of which that under Mr. Brooks, by which I was arrested, was only a part. There | found the Rev. Mr. Trott, a Methodist Missionary who has a Cherokee fawily, and a Cherokee by the name of Proctor. Proctor was chain’d tothe wallof'the house by the neck, and had another chain a round his ancle. He had been arrested, on Tuesday, on the charge of digging for gold; chained the first night by the an cle only, the second and_ third by the neck tothe wall and by the ancle to Mr, Trott. Mr. Trott was arrested on Wed- nesday, and taken on horseback about 10 miles to where Col. Nelson then was, He had been before arrested, and was under bonds to answer at court for the offence of residing in the nation without license, and now was tuken again, as having commiitted the second offence by returning to his family while the cause was peunding. On Thursday he and Proctor were marched on foot 22 miles, to the place where I found them, Proc tor being chained by the neck to the wagpron. This manner of treatment, [ supposed, was occasioned by his having offered resistance when arrested, and afterwards attempted to escape. ' When I was arrested gergeant Brooks inquired the state of my fawmily, and when told that Mrs. Worcester was still confined to her bed, remarked that he regretted that Col. Nelson was not him selt’ present, implying, as 1 understood him, that if he were, he probably would not arrest me under such circumstances, When we arrived where Col. Nelson was, I requested Mr. Brooks to mention to him the state in which he found us, which he very readily promised to do; but certainly had not fulfilled his prom ise when I heard him say that I was to go on to Head Quarters—i. e. to this place. Perceiving, therefore that the state of my family was not to be regard ed, I said no more, | We were then marched on foot 22 miles to the same place from which Mr. Trott and Mr, Proctor were taken the day be fore, Proctor being again chained to the waggon. We had proceeded about 3 miles when we met Messrs. Mcl.eod and Wells, two Methodist clergymen, not residing within the charter of Georgia.— With leave of Col. Nelson they turned and rode along some distance in our com pany. In conversation Mr, Mcleod asked Mr. Trott whether he had been chained the preceding night, and being answered in the affirmative, asked il it were according to law to chain a prison« er who manilested no disposition to es cape. Mr. Trott said he thought not, but that we ought not to blame those un der whose charge we were, asthey were obliged to act according to orders. NMr. Mcl.eod remarked, “It scems they pro ceed more by orders than by law.”— This gave offence. A few woids had pussed between Mr., Mcl.eod and some ol the guard, when Col. Nelson rode up, and being told of the remark, asked Mr, McLeod where he resided. He re plied “In Tennessee.” Col. Nelson, with a curse, ordered him to “‘flank off.” Mr. McLeod, turning his horse, said, “I willy Siry if it is your command,” but added, hastily as he afterwards said, “You will hear from me again.” He was then riding away, when the Col. or dered him to halt, and then to dismount and lead his horse along in the regr.— He then inquired of Mr. Trott whether this was “one of their circuit nidors,” e Mie. Trott answercd “Yes.” Mr. M lLeod’s horse was then takes from hun and dehivered to Mr, Wells, and he was declared a prisoner, and ordered to walk on with the rest. For a shoit distance Brooks compeiled him to keep the cen tre of the road, through mire and water, threatenmng to thrast him throngh with the bayonet if he turned aside. In the mean time he was heaping upon all onr heads a load ol tremendous curses and reviling missienaries and all nnmsters ol the gos- THE TIMES. pel in language which, for profanences and obscenity, could not be exceeded. The words of our Saviour he turned in to ridicule—*Fear not”’—suid he taunt ingly—“Fecar not, little flock, for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kKingdom!” The manner in which these words were uttered did not prevent me, at least, from rejoicing in the con solation they afford.—-Brooks was the chief speaker, and exceeded all; though some others joined him in his revilings. Another circumstance ufterwards oc curred, which was related to me by Mr, Thompson, who was eye witness. Mr. Wells, alter Mr. Mcl eod’s arrest, pur sued his journey in the opposite direction, till he met Mr. Thompson, riding in the some direction with the guard., He then turned, and rode in company with Me.T'. intending to see what should become of Mr. Mcl.eod, and to render him any as sistance in his power. After some time they came up with the guard. When Col. Nelzon cut a stick, and making up to Mr. Wdlls, gave huna severe blow on the head, M. Wells then said that he had a right to travel the public road, and should doat. He persevered according ly, and rode on till he came to a house where Mr. Mel ecd had requested him to stop. I know not what offence Mr, Wells had given, unless that, in conver sation with me, he had expressed strong disapprobation of the policy of the Stute ol Georgia, and the course pursued by the Executive ofthe United States. To wards the end of our days’ journey, Mr. McLeod was afflicted with a severe pain in the hips and koees, to which he had been subject, and requested the privi lege of nding. Col. Nelson sent him answer, that Proctor at first thought he could not walk, but afterwards got along very well. ' At night the four prisoners were chain ed together by the ancle in pairs. Some time after we lay down, a small detachment arrived with Doctor Butler. He had been arrested at Haweis on the preceding day. After crossing a river, three or tour miles from home, a chain was fastened by a padlock around his neck, and at the other end to the neck of a horse, by the side of which he walked. Night soon came on, The horse was kept walking at a quick pace, and Dr. Butler unable to see any obstruction which a rough wilderness road might present, and liable at any moment to fall, and so to be dragged by the neck till the horse should stop. After walking some distance in the dark, on representing the danger of his situation, he was taken up behind the saddle, his chains being fast ened to the horse’s neck and short e nough to keep his neck close to the shoulder of the guard. In this situation the horse fell. Both his riders fell un der him, and neitherthe horse 10- either of the men could rise, till others could come, and, after ascertaining their situa tion by the sense ot feeling, roll the horse over. Dr. Butler was considerably hurt,’ but the soldier more, having two ribs hroken. After this, till they came to their lodgings, Dr. Butler was permitted to ride, whtle a soldier walked. In the mean time they lost their way in the woods. However, they found a pine knot, of which they mode a torch by striking fire; and by this means recover-! ed thew way, Their lodging place was only 14 miles from Dr. Butler’s, but it wis midnight when they arrived, well drenched with rain, When they laid down, the prisoner was chained to his bedstead by the ancle, the officer how ever, putting a handkerchief around un der the chain. The next day they had 35 miles or more to travel. Dr. Butler wore the chain on his neck, but no lon ger fastened to a horse, e was oc casionally permitted to ride, one or anoth er of the soldiers walked in his stead. At night he was chained to My, Me l.eod and me. On Friday morning we had to eross the Hightower viver in a boat, Asthe pris oners, with a part of'the gnard were cros sing, Mr. Thompson was ohserved on the opposite side waiting to speak with us.— At the same time Col. Nelson and ser geant Brooks were observed in conver sation. Brooks then called to those who were with us, charging themthat ne per son should be allowed to speak with a prisoner privately, and no letter to be delivered nnexananed, Proctor was now o unted on his own hoise, (which had voon taken as a pnze when he wiug arcesied) wearing a chain as De. Butier had worn it the day before He had a bag of elothes for a saddle; and a rope halter mstead of a bndle,. No other one was chamed, When we had travelled a considerable distance, tour of the soldiers were so kind as to walk tour or tive miles, and allow the prisoners to nde, tor which we were told they were alterwards abused by Brooks, who now had the command of the detachment, Colo Nelson aviog parted from them Afterwards: Mr. Trott, being likely to twil, was mounted on Proctor’s hoise in WHOLE NO. 76. his stead. Still later M, Meleod, have ing hecome so lame that he could scarce« iy walk, solicited the privilege of riding. Brooks, with much cursing, compelled him to walk on. Afterwards, however, he ordered Mr, Trott to dismount, and placed Mr. McLeod in his stead. Our day’s journey was 35 miles, At night only Proctor was chained, Brooks having retired without giving any orders on the subject, and the officer who had charge of us not being dispused to chain us. T'he Sabbath came, and we had 22 miles to travel, Remoustrance would only have mnitated. We were under the command of armed men, and must travel on. Mr. Mcl eod, being utterly unable to walk, was mounted on Proctor’s horse. Mr. Trott was allowed to ride a part of the way in the waggon, and Dr. Butler and myself two or three miles on hoise back. Arrived here, we were, as a matter of course, marched into camp under sound ol fife and drum.—We were then intro duced to the juil; Brooks saying as we entered, “There is where all the enemies o' Georgia have to land,—there and in hell.” Tlappily man has not the keys of the everlasting prison.—At night a white man who has a Cherokee family was added to our number. | On Monday Mr. Thompson and Mr, ‘\\'o-Ils came and requested an intervicw 'with us. Mr. Thompson was admitted, ‘under the restriction that no one should have any private conversation with us, Inr receive any papers from us without their being inspected by Col. Nelsor, 'who has the present command,Col. Sand ford being absent. Mr. Wells was re fused adnnttance. | Mr. McLeod sent a note to Col. Ne!- 'son on Monday, requesting a personc! anterview, On Tuesday morning Col. 'Nelson sent for him, and dismissed him. He was not permitted to return and bi lus farewell, I On Saturday evening, July 16, po ‘ceiving that we should probably spernd the Sabtbath here, we sent to Col, ‘;\el son the following request, | Col. Th. H. Nulson, Sir,—lf it be consistent with neces sary regulations, it would be a high gratificati n to some of your prisoners, ii M+, Trott and Mr. Worcester might be permitted to hold a meeting to-morrov evening at some place where such of tho guard and of the neighbors as are dis posed might attend. 1f the favor can be granted, be so kind as to give us an answer as soon as convenient. We wish to be understood that we should ali greatly desire the privilege of attending (Signed) S. A WorcestEß, J. J. Trorr, ‘ Evrzur BurLEer, ' SamuerL Maves. - This note was presently returned with the following written on the outside, We view the within request as an im pertinent one. If your conduct be evi dence of your churacter and the doc trines you wish to promulgate, we are sufliciently enlightened as to both. Our object is to restrain, not to facilitate their promulgation. If your object be true piety you can enjoy it where you are. Were we hearers we would not be bene fitted, devoid as we are of confidence i your honesty, ‘ (Signed) From most of the individuals of the guard we have received noill treatment; from some of them, kindness. As was, however, perhaps to be expected in our circumstances, we have received soma insults, which it is trying for the spirit to bear. But we regard it as a testimony in our favor, that when the desire is to torture us, it is taken for granted that this can be best effected by uttering profane and obscene expressions in our ears, I July 19 —Yesterday Mr. Thompson ‘and Mr. William Rogers, a Cherokee, (who acts as agent for the nation, arrived ‘and presented to Col. Nelson, a writ of’ Ilmhms corpus, which they had procured to remove us from this place. This would rhuvc been sooner done, but Dr. Butler and I thought it best for Mr. Thompson first to consult Mr. Underwood, our counsel, who lives at considerable dis« tance, whether that was the bLest coursq to pursue in reference to the final result, When the writ arrived we supposed wg should be immedintely taken Leloro g court, but we stull remein here, Nw Echota, July 28.—After | had written the above, we still remained in jail till Thursday morning, July 21—y The renson atterwards assigned by Col. | Nelson i court for our dotention was, that Col. Santord, who returned oy | Wednesdav evening from a journey tg Milledgesille;, had important testimony [in his possegsion, Cn 'l‘hul.dlly mofis ‘ming, we were furpished with horses, ang set out for Lawrenceville, On the wag (we were taken before a justice of 1 peace and committed to jail, althoog ‘the writ of habeus corpus required C.
