The following information, from the Georgia Messenger, derived from Col. B. as he passed through Georgia, is confirmed to us by Col. B. himself: "We learn from Col. B. that he has commenced collecting another party of Indians for the purpose of emigrating beyond the Mississippi, and expects, by the time of his return from Washington, at least one thousand will be ready for the journey. A much larger party, (perhaps a majority of the nation) might be found willing to emigrate immediately, but for some secret and unaccountable influence which appears to be exercised over them. We do not, however, despair but that the whole nation may be removed in a reasonable time, by the exertion of proper means, and by ascertaining and counteracting the undue influence of interested persons." Nat. Int. June 12.
