THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN. THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN SAMVbT CRAFTOJi COUNTY PRINTER. TERMS—For ti»& paper inaA„ a $1 50 $2 00 Murder °.4t Col. Craig. . The followin<r letter containing the par ticulars of th^ Jeath of a gallant officer, was inrnishe<3/ 0 y Senator Dawson, to the Wash- i'ngto^ t TJnion for publicatio n; SAN Diego, California, June 19, 1852. Dear Sir: It is with the deepest pain I announce to you the death of Lieut. Col. Craig, 3d Infantry who was murdered in the desert between this and camp Yuma, whilst in the discharge of his duty as an offi cer. The sad event occurred on the 6th of June, at 'J o’clock, A. M. That-lie bore you proudly in his heart, where none but hon orable memories could find a resting-place, justifies me in addressing you without apol ogy, though I have not the honor to be per sonally known to you. The circumstances of his death illustrate the character of the man, and are briefly these: Colonel Craig, on the morning of the 6th instant, when about one-third of the way across the desert from this side, met two deserters from Camp Yuma, trying to make their way into the settlements. They were on foot, and armed with percussion musk ets. The Colonel and his party were on mules. He pursued the deserters, taking with him two sergeants, who, like himself were armed with pistols and sabres. He followed them two or three miles, urging them to surrender, and stating to them that he did not intend to use force. At length the.deserters halted, and Colonel Craig, ta king off his sabre and pistol, and handing them to a sergeant in their presence, dis mounted, and unarmed approached them, addressing them at the same time. The Colonel’s male having strayed at that mo ment, one of the sergeants went to catch it. In the act of doing so, he heard two shots in rapid succession. Turning his head, he saw the Col. and Sergeant Beals fall. They then commenced firing on him, when he put spurs to his horse and fled to camp. A party was immediately sent out. The body of Colonel Craig was found, and near it the sergeant, who had been wounded in the leg, the same ball killing his mule. The wound ed sergeant stated that Col. Craig was fired upon when within a few feet of the deserters; received the shot in the front and lower part of his body; did not speak, and expired in about ten minutes. He was buried on the desert, at a place cailed the “Alamo Wells.” Thus terminated the career of this most gal lant officer and most honorable and estima ble man. I received the first intelligence of the a bove about 12 o’clock on the 10th instant and at 2, p. m., despatched native couriers to all the Indian tribes between this and the mountains near Los Angeles, a distance of some one hundred and thirty miles, or dering the chiefs to turn out their men and to use every effort to apprehend the mur derers. This was accomplished on the 13th by an Indian chief. The prisoners were de livered to me on the 16th, and are now se curely ironed in the cells of the mission. The pistol of Colonel Craig and the hunt- ing-knife of Sergeant Beals, were found on their persons. The sergeant will recover to supply any link in the chain of evidence which may be wanting; and we have the mournful satisfaction to know, at least, that if their victim cannot be recalled to life, his assassins cannot escape the punishment due to their infamous crime. This event has cast a gloom over us all which could not have been produced by the death, under any Circumstances, of an ordinary man. From the same part of the countrv, we (Craig and myself) have been friends'from boyhood, companions-in-arms through the wars of Florida, and Mexico, and for the last four months I have seen him almost daily here. After he left us, I visited him some twenty miles on his road, to spend a last night with him. I shared his tent, and left him in the morning filled with the brightes anticipations. The road,|’ though long, had charms for him, for it led to home and friends. Among these he ever reckon ed you one of the best, not only of himself but of his family. I leave the task to you, therefore, to communicate to Mrs. Craig this sad news; and with every sentiment of respect, subscribe myself very. sincerely yours, J. B. MAGRUDER, Brevet Lieut. Col. 1st Artillery U. S. A., Commanding at San Diego, California Hon. Mr. Dawson, U. S. Senate, Washington, D. C. P. S. I propose to send to you the pistol of Colonel Craig, to be disposed of as you may think proper, after it shall have given its silent testimony before the court by which the prisoners are to be tried.

St, Mary’s Money Iu bills under $5 will be received in pay ment of demands due this office, The Agricultural Association meets this morning at half past nine o’clock, at the Court House. Members, friends and the public generally are invited to attend. Capt R. S. Hardwick, a scientific and practical Agriculturist will deliver the address. Female School.—The Female School at this place, as our readers will see by the advertisement, will open on Monday next, the Rev. Mr. Sheppardson has arrived at this place and will take charge of it as Prin cipal. From the short acquaintance which we have with Mr. S. we should take him to be a gentleman eminently calculated to fill th at post, and entirely worthy of the sup port of the numerous patrons of the Insti tution, combining as he does the excellent qualifications of the Teacher, with the ur banity of the gentleman, and devoutness" of a christain. &ZT The Third-party- men have a meet ing at this place to-day. They will send delegates to the Convention on the lYth inst. The Scott party will hardly be represent ed from the county. They will probably be swallowed up by the Tertium Quids. The Weather.—The past w r eek has giv en us some very warm days, the mercury generally ranging about 90. From Satur day, however, to yesterday, there was quite a change, the|sweltering heat of the pre vious days having given place to the chilly breezes of October. Fires were comforta ble for the mornings, and stout clothing de cidedly so. Sudden Death from Taking Chloro form.—The Worcester (Mass.) Spy of Mon day says that the wife of John Davis, of Holden, who was suffering from a severe tooth-ache, induced her physician to let he'’ inhale chloroform, for the purpose of having it extracted, when, upon the inhalation, she expired immediately. Rather Expensive.—Gernt Smith, the great abolitionist, who was foremost to re lieve the distresses of Chaplin, the-negro stealer about Washington, complains of his brother abolitionists in not coming to the rescue. He says that he paid $10,000 to in demnify the bail in the Maryland case, but is willing to go $2,00 of the $6,000 yet to be paid at Washington on same score. He says that he feels that he has been robbed of these $12,000. S3T The Boston Post thinks that it is a piece of ridiculous absurdity, and a blund- deriug falsehood for Southern papers to charge Gen. Pierce with being opposed to the Fugitive Slave Law, or having express ed any such sentiments. It has been dis proved by respectable persons who heard his New Boston speech. JggT The Fishery difficulties, it is appre hended, will bring about a little fuss be tween Brother Jonathan and John Bull.— Telegraphic reports says that the old codger has picked up two of our vessels on that ac count. Well, he had better take care what he is doing, or he will get bis fishing sculls turned <g T cr. President Fillmore and Gen. Scott.— The Philadelphia American says the fol lowing is an extract of a private letter, da ted the 19th ult., from President Fillmore to a warm personal friend : T was not disappointed, nor had I any thing to regret, in the result of the Balti more Convention. The approbation which that Convention expressed of the policy which I had pursued, in the resolutions 'tohich it adopted, was more gratifying to me than to have received the nomination. ****** “I cannot doubt that General Scott in tends to carry out the principles of the whig party in good faith, if elected, and R seems to me that he is justly entitled to the sup port of . every true whig. Iam, therefore, gratified to learn from your letter that you intend to give him a cordial-support.” Melancholy.—A. letter received by us, <iate<i 17th inst., gives the particulars of a •distressing accident which recently occur red in Jasper county. On the 15th inst., two men, one named Ward, and the other Garner, while working in a well of Mrs Chapman, became affected bv the gas con tained therein. They called for the basket to be lowered ; when Mrs Chapman and her daughter letdown the basket, Mr. Ward got in and was drawn to the top of the wei4 when he fainted and fell to the bot tom, a depth of about 60 feet. Mr. Garner then called for the basket to be lowered for him, when he got in and was drawn to the top; in making an attempt to get out, he also tell to the bottom. There were none hut females about the premises, so they sent for assistance, to Planter’s Factory, a- boufcone mile off, where the men lived. The men were hooked up. Ward was bad ly bruised, aud had some of his bones bro ken. It is thought be died shortly after he tell..

The act of Congress declaring the enlistment of minors unlawful, relates only to the array The English Common law governs the en listmentsin the naval service, and it has been held in England that a minor may contract an obligation to serve the State which cannot be set aside by the power of the parent.—-In such cases the parental au tboritv is suspended during the period of service, although not destroyed. The Whig Reveile.-—This is the name of a Scott paper, recently started at Atlan ta, by Messrs Renan, Hauleiter & Mills. It ably advocates the claims of Gen Scott, and is published for the campaign at Queer Amalgamation.—We notice a meeting held in Warrenton the 24th ult., in which the cotemporaneous record states that “quite a number of citizens of the county, without distinction of former par ties came in and participated, the meeting being organized, Mr. Gibson whom we be lieve is a Democrat of the State’s Right stamp, offered the following resolutions; Whereas, the Democracy of the Union, in Convention assembled, have proven themselves truly conservative and national on the slavery question by unanimously selecting a true man to the constitutional rights of all sections, and by adopting res olutions confirming those rights aud those principles— Be it Resolved, That as Gen. Pieroe and Col. King, the nominees of said Convention have placed themselves fully and satisfacto rily upon said platform, and ak Gen. Scott, by his former associations, and by his letter of acceptance, has failed to place himself upon conservative grounds, and as we look upon him as being unfit unsound on the slavery question, and unfit for the Presi dency, we therefore, without distinction of parties, unanimously affirm the nomination of Gen. Pierce and Col. King, and will use all honorable means to secure their election. Upon the unanimous adoption of the fore going all hands turn in and make strong Pierce and King speeches, friend Pottle a- mong them, who always keeps one eye up on the condition of the C. U. party, and he lugs in the following which was likewise unanimously adopted. ■Whereas, the Union Convention, re cently held in Mi Hedge ville, did present an Electoral Ticket to the State composed of men favorable to the election of Pierce and King; and whereas, those of us who are Union men, feel bound to support and main tain the action of said Convention ; There fore Be it Resolved, That the members of either party, advocating the claims of Pierce and King, are free to support which ticket may best suit their judgment, and that we will all hail the election of Gen. Pierce of New Hampshire, and Col. King of Ala bama, as a triumph of those great princi ples which belt.; secure the constitutional rights of the South, and the preservation of the South, and the preservation of the Un ion. Well might Gen. Pierce exclaim, save me from my friends, he has more friends in some localities than any man alive, but then such friends, they are pulling and hauling him in all directions, and would beat him if no body ojrposed him, You had better hold seperate meetings gentle men, and fight as enemies, as you are at heart, and if in the scramble Pierce is floor ed it will be a much greater consolation for him to know that it was done by his ene mies than by his innumerable friends, and without distinction of parties. The tally sheets of November will very clearly show who are his friends. An Indiana Husband on the Death of his Wife.—“I’ve lost sheep, and I’ve lost calves, and I’ve lost cows, and I’ve lost ‘shoats,’ but I never had anything to cut me up like this !” Such was the affection ate burst of grief of au Indiana farmer, standing by the grave into which the dead body of his wife was being lowered elicited by some attempt at consolation on the part of a neighbor and a “by-stander.” There was something in this tribute to the depar ted, like that paid by the renowned Mrs. Partington : “I married my second hus band because he could wear my first hus band’s old clothes. Most of ’em was good as new, and they fitted him as well as if he was made for ’em. He was always keerful of his clothes, my first husband was —very keerful—always !” And the old lady took out her knitting-needle, and be gan to “narrow” towards the toe of a speck led yarn stocking. MSP A Western New-York paper, in a paragraph commenting on the comparative liberality of the different Railroad Com panies, with special reference to the convey ing of Henry Clay’s remains gratis over their lines, saVs, very gravely, that the New York and Erie Company were “months ago desirous of that honor.” An Empty Treasury.—The New Or leans Delta says that the treasury of the State Louisiana, is in a deplorable condition of emptiness, containing only sixty dollars. Well that is about as dry as a sovereign State ought to get. They ought to have our Gov. there to raise the wind for them. He’s the best trader in these parts. Steamer Henry Clay Burnt.—The Steamer Henry Clay was burnt on the 28th ult, near Palisades while racing with the America. She had one hundred and fifty passengers on board, fifteen or twenty per sons perished. Among the list of the passengers inju red by the burning of this steamer, we no tice the name of Miss Tucker, of Milled Se ville, Ga. Hon. A. H. Stephens.—The Macou Journal & Messenger of 28th says: “We have heard from a source which makes the information certain and reliable, that this The Southern Cultivator.—We have on our table the August number of this valuable Jourual.

Freesoil Meeting in the South.—A Freesoil meeting was held at Baltimore a short while since to appoint delegates to Pittsburgh Freesoil Convention on 11th of August. It was but thinly attended, but it is something new to hold such an estab lishment in a slave holding community. Mgr The Government of France now restrict newspapers from publishing poetry which is contrary to common sense. If the rule was in force in this country, how the poetical department of the newspapers and magazines would suffer. QZr The Washington Republic of the 26th contains the letter of resignation of Mr. Graham, Secritary of the Navy, with Mr. Fillmore’s reply thereto, they part with each other with mutual regret and respeot. j£3T A telegraphic notioe states that the Hon. Humphrey Marshal, has been ap pointed Commissioner to China. [FOR THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.] Mr. Editor;—I see Philo-Union, over the signature of “Pathfinder,” has com menced writing again, and has marked out C. J. Jenkins as the subject upon whom he intends to operate. The Lord help Mr. Jenkins and your subscribers! and enable us to bear, with becoming humility, this in fliction ; and through much tribulation, aid us to survive these repeated visitations!! In a political point of view, however, it is true policy, iu this family quarrel among Whigs, that Democrats should not interfere Still, our sympathies are involuntarily ex cited in hehalf of oue who seems to have drawn down upon his single head, a weight of criticisms so overpowering. DEMOCRAT. distinguished Whig has openly declared himself opposed to the Union Electoral [CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CENTRAL GEOR.] New York, July 28, 385 Mr. Editor : There is some discussion, in the papers and in private circles, about the probability of a war with England, in connexion with the difficulties which have sprung up, in relation to the Tieaty of 1818, regulating the Fisheries. Most intelligent men think, however, that the matter will be amicably settled by negotiation, feeling assured the diplomatic skill of Daniel Webster will con trive to amend the blunder committed by our treaty-making power, in 1818. But, there are some men who consider war in evitable ; and merchants are making ar rangements to keep their vessels out of the reach of British cruisers; while many dar ing spirits are looking forward to fitting out privateers to plunder British commerce; and our gallant Navy is all agog for ac tion. There are no words so sweet to a sailor’s ear as “prize-money !” The State Department at Washington has authorized the surrender of Thomas lvaine, the fugitive claimed by Great Brit ain, under the Extradition Clause of the Ashburtan Treaty; but the clause will not be finally settled until Monday next. Our Irish citizens, of course, take a deep inter est in the fate of their countrymen; and a very wide-spread opinion prevails that he will be rescued from the Authorities. The America brings us three days’ later intelli gence from Europe. It appears that the parliamentary elections, which have just taken place in England, have resultedin the defeat of the Government. The July number of Blackwood contains a political “leader,”' supposed to be from the pen of Ailison, the historian. It refers to the danger in which England stands of a French invasion, which, the writer thinks, must come, sooner or later. The article contains a paragraph, strikingly illustrative of a remarkable feature in the character of Louis Napoleon. “Prince Louis Napoleon, like his uncle, is very superstitious, and always carries on his person an amulet taken from the body of Charlemagne, while in the tomb. He is known to have said in this country, long before he left it to accept the Presidency of the French Republic: “It may appear pre sumptuous in me to wear that amulet; but I have an inborn conviction that I am to be, oue day, the ruler of France. When I am so, I shall first extinguish the license cf the Press, and then attack England. I shall do so with regret, for I have been kindly re cei ved there, and it contains many of my best friends; but I must fulfil my mission t and carryout that which I know my uncle had most at heart—I owe that to his memory." In pursuance of these views, he has just de creed 80,000 men more-to the regular army.” Allison then goes on to expose, with a 99 d 9? ability, the circumstances would favor such an attempt by Louis Na poleon. He lays special stress upon the disposition of the Irish to avail themselves of the first opportunity that may offer to achieve their independence; and he quotes from various leading journals, to show that the moment England should become in volved in any European war, Ireland would at once take steps to gain her freedom. A. T. Stewart, better known as “Mar ble Palace Stewart,” is now making the tour of Europe, for the purpose of purchasing furniture from the most celebrated manu facturers, for the use of the immense Me tropolitan Hotel of this city, which will be opened early next mouth, and will be the largest and most magnificient Hotel in the world. By the way, it is interesting to know that, twenty years ago, A. T. Stew art, who is now one of the richest men in America, was once a poor school master in an obscure village. Truly, we know what we are, but we do not know what we shall be! I see that several European journals are commenting, with astonishment and admi ration, upon the enormous value of most of Mr. Stewart’s purchases. For instance, the London Morning Chronicle, in a recent ably-written article on “the Hotel System in the United States,” says :— “Our readers have doubtless perused, with interest, the full description of that re markable edifice, (the New York Metropo- their past political tenets, or again unite id opposition to Democratic misrule. The nomination of Gen. Scott should be peculiarly gratifying to the Union Whigs. As early as November, 1850, at the celebra ted Union mass meeting held at Castle Garden, New York, Gen. Scott advocated the “finality of the compromise,” declaring his decided and open hostility to any furth er agitation «f the slavery question, thereby placing himself, in advance, upon the Geor gia Platform—the “vade mecurri” of the Union Whigs. Gen. Scott, in his letter of acceptance, de clares. that, in the administration of the government, he shall know no North, no. South, no East, or no West, but the welfare of the whole country shall be oue of the prominent characteristics of his administra tion, in case of his election. In this the Union Whigs certainly agree with him. What more, then, can Union Whigs re quire of Gen. Scott ? Is he not as good a Union man as Gov. Cobb, whom the Union Whigs supported last fall, with so much zeal and enthusiasm, even with the declara tion, no where contained in the Georgia Platform, that the “adjustment measures” are “fair, liberal and just.” The objection raised against Gen. Scott, that he is sup ported by Mr. Seward, of New York, is un reasonable and senseless. Is it for General Scott to say who shall, or who shall not sup port him ? Would he not exhibit a want litan Hotel,) which we published in our last if m ,,, We have since heard that Mr. A. T. ° f t0 P reve " t <’ f he ™“ ld > issue.

Our transatlantic cousins appear determin ed to make the New York Metropolitan Hotel, a perfect palace, capable of accom modating all the Sovereigns of Europe, with their brilliant courts.” The speculation in unproductive city lots has been very great, here, for the last two years. Real Estate commands high pri ces, in all parts of the city ; but, as a general thing, holders are not anxious to realize* Money is said by business men, to be a- bundant^ but somehow or other, I have as yet no experimental knowledge of the truth of the statement. The advance in the value of Real Estate is said to arise from the rapid increase of population. I think, however, that the prices are fictitious, and that their advance is dangerously larger than the increase of population. We shall have a general smash, soon ; or I am no prophet. “Every dog has his day.” The excessive heat of the weather is causing the truth of- tbis proverb to be proved by h undreds of owners of unfortunate dons which bein^r allowed to sally forth unmuzzled, are in stantly suspected of insanity, and are vin dictively pursued by troops of persecuting men and boys, who, after much chasing capture and deposit their victims in the “Police Pound.” For each dog delivered up, a check for 50 cents, payable at the of fice of our Chief of Police, is diawn out by the Pound-Keeper, and handed over to the clamorous captors of the “caged canine.” Within an enclosed space, only accessable through a little office, the unfortunate ani mals are kept tied up in rows by short bits of rope. No one is permitted to enter the sanctuary, except the assistant-keeper, or such persons as come to redeem their prop erty. Dogs of every species—the pretty pet poodle, the gentle spaniel, the active terrier, the ferocious bull dog, and manv others—are indiscriminately associated in “durance vile;” and as, now and then, the owner of some dog appear and redeems him, the remaining dogs tug violently at their bonds, and cast imploring looks at the inexorable keeper ; but of course they sigh in vain. Altogether, the scene at the “Pound” is exceedingly amusing. Yours Truly, PULASKI. [for THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.] The Wliigs aud the Presidency. The division which exists in the ranks of the Union party, afford an opportunity to those who have heretofore battled in the cause of the Constitution and the country under the time-honored name of Whig, to unite in supporting General Scott, the Whig candidate for the Presidency, and save the. country from the evils which may result from Democratic rule. It is now useless to recount over the scenes of the past two years, or repine for the er lors of the past. It is needless, now, to charge certain leaders, high in the confi dence of the Whig party, with an abandon ment of the principles which they once professed to entertain, by the erection of a “masked battery,” from behind which, the Whig party of Georgia lias been almost strangled. The issues which divided the people of our State for the last two years, no longer exists. The Southern Rights Democrats and* the Union Democrats, have abandoned their late Whig allies, and leaves the him ? Mr. Seward supported Mr. Clay in 1844, and Geu. Taylor in 1848 ; that sup port certainly did not make either Mr. Clay or Gen. Taylor abolitionists ; nor can it now make Gen. Scott one. If Gen. Scott can obtain votes sufficient to elect him without compromising his dignity, the honor of the Whig party, or its principles as laid down in its platform, he will accomplish exactly what the Whig nominating convention de signed at the time it made him its nominee. Brother Whigs, this objection to General Scott originates with the Democrats. Re gard it not. They are only working at their old game of deeeit and slander. The in troduction of abolition petitions- into the Senate by Geu. Pierce, stands out in bold relief against any charge of infidelity to the the South which may be made by Genera^ Scott’s enemies against him. However, it is not my design to review the p»Wre life of Gen. Pierce. My object is to show- that this is an auspicious time for a re-u*iion of the Whigs, when they can meet around their old “camp fires'' as a band of broth ers should, andljury former past differences. The dissension of the Soatkera Rights Whigs and the Union Whigs, by their late Democratic allies, and the return of the latter to their ancient faith, should be an example to the Whigs to unite in the; sup port of Gen. Scott, the choice of the Whig party of the country. It is perfect folly to endeavor to keep up with Mr. Toombs, in the various evolutions which he makes ; Ira wishes to keep on the strong side, if Ira knows which it is; and if he will vote for Pierce and King, let him do so. Cohsis- tent Whigs will support Scott aud Graham The plan of running a third candidate can do no good. If that plan is put into excution, the last chance for, a re-union of the Whigs of Georgia, will be gone. We can never rally as a parly again, and from thence we will be at the inuroy of the De mocrats. Gen Scott is more reliable, aye, he is sounder on the Southern question than Millard Fillmore or Daniel Webster ever were ; and the. idea of running Daniel Webster, should be stifled by every true hearted Whig. He allowed his name to go before the convention—his friends stuck to him throughout—they never struck their colors and he was defeated. He has been thrown over amongst the rubbish, and all the skill of every political handicraftsman in Christendom can’t remodel him, so as to make a decent cap-stone for the head of the corner in the temple of Whiggery. Besides he is too deeply and effectually corrupted with the leper of anti-slavery ever-to be come clean. No longer than last year, dur ing his political peregrinations through the State of New York, he expressed his con tinued hostility to the institutions of the South. It is of no use to put the Union gloss upon him—he “can't shine." Und r the present state of things, it will be suicidal, if the Whigs split off into two or three factions, and allow the Democracy to sweep all before it, carrying, as it does, in its long train of evils, its wild specula tions of “intervention.” For one, my posi tion is taken. The Whig bugle is sounding; its dulcet strains have reached nrain the. '•'■wire-grass,” calling up the recollections of 1844: and 1848 ; and patriotism directs me- to “face the enemies’ music” again,.and de-' vote my humble abilities in assisting to^ plant the glorious old Whig banner upon the citadel of Democracy. Whigs, awake!- arise LL -Shake off the dew-drops which glitter upon your garments, and once more,. march to battle and to vict
