Hitherto Macon has been wonderfully favored; she has been considered (and justly, too) one the healthiest towns of Georgia. But new have bloomy apprehensions for the health of the present season, owing to the causes above named. Already we hear of many severe bilious attacks-bowel complaints, and intermittent fevers. In removing these causes of disease much will depend on the City Council and Board of Health. But we ought not to rely on their doing every thing. They may do all they can, but will they do all that is necessary? We fear not-- Every man therefore should constitute himself a Health officer, and proceed at once to visit every nook and corner of his own premises, kitchen, stables, cellar, privy, hogpen, ect. and wherever Dirt holds her dominion, wage at once an exterminating war against her. Some alarm exists in the Cherokee circuit, we understand, in consequence of recent outrages committed by the Cherokees upon the white settlers. However dissatisfied the Indians may be, we apprehend no hostilities from the Nation at large. That miserable remment, deluded as they are, must be too sensible of their own weakness, and of the certain and fatal consequences of making war upon their white neighbors. These outrages must be looked upon as the effect of individual malice, for which the nation is not responsible. Georgia Telegraph June 5th, 1834 Here is a complaint presented by the Chief of the Cherokee nation. If they came to us as subjects of the United States, they would have a right to be heard. But they had no right to present themselves here as a sovereign power. MR. SPRAGUE thought if we could not do these Indians justice, we ought to at least hear their petition. The laws of the State of Georgia had been extended over them, and their annuities had been refused payment. It was a subject properly within the cognizance of Congress MR. CLAY contended that these people were not to be considered as a sovereign power, and that that the only ground on which we could refuse to receive their petition was, that the Executive had the control of the subject, independent of Congress. MR. FORSYTH replied, that the gentleman from Maine (Mr. Sprague,) was mistaken in point of fact: the laws of Georgia had not been extended over the tribe. As to the fact that They were not presenting themselves as a Foreign Government, they came here as the Cherokee nation; and what was a Foreign Government, he would inquire? This was an independent Government, or they represented themselves to be so, appealing against the Executive-they were appealing to one branch of the Government against another. This very subject had been in discussion here for two years-there was no refusal to do them justice, and honorable gentlemen could posses themselves of ever thing which could give them information in relation to this subject by the ususal proceeding of resolution, calling of the Department of War. He objected to taking an independent member of the Union, which he had the honor of representing in part thus arraigned before the Congress of the United States by an insolent Cherokee. Attempts like this had been made twice before. One of which he (Mr. F) recollected in the House of Representatives, when he was a member of that body. The House refused to receive the complaint; and afterwards, when the political character which the complainants had assumed was dropped, their representations were heard, and justice was done to them, as the nature of their case seemed to require. This could be done here. He moved that the paper not be received. Some further remarks were made by Mssrs.

Serious insurrections have broken out in Paris, Lyon, and other large cities. Fears were entertained that some of the terrible scenes of “93 were about to be repeated. Happily, however, the insurrection was quelled and public order restored. How long it may continue so, in that land of revolution is uncertain. Mr. Beverly G.G.A. Lucas was murdered by the Creek Indians in Alabama, on the 22d. ult. About 17,000 bags of cotton were received at Columbus, GA.
