~~ HAMPTON COURSE!
The Races ovei this course, situated at the low
er end of l)road-st., commence on Tuesday, 6th
February next. A greater amount of money has
been expended upon this track, and the necessary
buildings, we presume, than any in the entire
South. Every accommodation and comfort which
can bo found at any course in the Union, can be
I found at the Hampton, by those who may visit
I* it during the approaching races. The purses of-
I sered are large, and as we understand there are
I many fine horses now hero and expected here,
I the lovers of the turf may expect fine sport.
I MOST CONTEMPTIOLE.
I We were this morning shown a U. S. Trea-
I sury note, payable 12 months after date, beating
I interest at one mill per cent per annum. Is it
I not disgusting to see a government making open
I war upon the banking institutions, which iu
I: own conduct has compelled to suspend specie
■ payments, denouncing their bills as ‘‘worthless
I at?*’” * n ICI> Bee l^lat sarno government turn
■ and issue its own “rags,” based upon its
■ own mere credit, payable at 12 month* to bear
I *he pitiful interest of one mill per cent. It is
I an attempt to create a dtcfilifibn Without any
H basis, and to enable the government to derive a
H benefit and a profit without investing a cent. It
■ is rank imposition.
■ We see it announced in rfevertl Os Iffit totfidft

The Bunkley Case—Copy Right!
\Ve publish below, the following article froth
the Federal Union, on the subject of its claim
to the copy right of the trial of the abdve case;
We have commenced in an abridged form the
publication of the report of that case in the Stan
dard of Union, and shall conclude it iM a few
day*. If the publici'tWh itt the Standard of Un
ion is a violation of the copy right secured by
the editors of the Federal Union, then we pre
cise our abridgement Os St is likewise a viola
tion. Since sur inquiry of the latter, whether
they considered the publication by the former, a
I violation of that right, some information as to
circumstances and some reflection clearly satis
fied our minds that it war net, and hence We
commenced to transfer it to our columns before
we received a reply to our enquiry.
Our understanding of the facts in relation to
this claim on the part of the editors of the Feder
al Union is this:—They employed some person;
adequate to the task, to attend the trial and make
out a full and accurate report of the testimony
and proceedings in the case, which they design
publishing in a book, the copy right of which
they have secured according to the lorhlS r)fl4W-.
This they had a perfect and undeniable tight to
do, and whosoever, without their consent, should
publish this book, or its contents, would be guil
ty of a violation o( their copy right. Thu* far
wo concede the ground to the Federal Union,
and it is all they cin claim—now for the other
side of the picture: It is made by law the duty
• of the Judges of the Superior coUtts oi this
State, upon the trial of any criminal case invol
ving the life of the prisoner, or subjecting him
to imprisonment In the Penitentiary, in Ihe
event of conviction, to cause the testimony to be
taken down in writing by some competent per
son. This is filed among ar.d becomes a part
of the records of the court, and a copy of it
I and the other proceedings in the ease, are for
warded to the keeper of the Penitentiary, and
g(e his authority for receiving and confining
Ihe convict. The report of the Bunkley case
published by the Standard of Union, we un.
Iderstand, is nothing more than the copy of the
exemplification from the records of the Supe.
rior Court’of Jones county. If so, we hold that
it is no violation of the copy right of the Federal
Union,for the records of our courts are public,and
no man has a right to appropriate them to his
own use, to the prevention of others, by claiming
an exclusive Copy Right. Every Editor in the ,
State might have made his own report of the
•ante trial, and each would be entitled to his Co
py Right, and yet neither of them would be any
violation of the right of any of the others. The
securing of a Copy Right to a book written upon
any subject whatever, does not debar other per
sons from writing and publishing a book upon
the same subject, although it would debar the re
publication of the same work.
In this matter we entertain no sort of hostility
tothe Editor* of the Federal Union, and if, con
trary to our opinion, we have violated any leg*, '
- • I L . -r-w-u
| 'ifhtof theirs, w« are willing to make any kind
,j,L 1 1 v j t " J
o. reparation that i« juat and proper, without a
reaoi t to a legal tribunal. Our publication of the Inal
may injure to some extent, the sale o( their book,
but if we have violated no right of theirs, they
cannot blame us for desiring to give interest to
oir paper, by laying the testimony before o’dr
. Vcadera ts early as possible.
' Trifi STANDARD OF UNION.
Alter notice, and after the publication of
the certificate of our Copy Right to publish
the proceedings, evidence, &c. of the Bunk
ley case, as it is called, that print (the Stan
dard of Union-) unreasonably ajt|d unexpected
ly commenced, and We -may add, maliciously
continues the publication ofthe testimony and
proceedings in the case. We notice m ar
tide in the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel,
ofthe 19th instant, in which the editor ex
presses a disposition to publish the same from
the Standard, but in a spirit more commend
able than is evidenced by tlie conduct of our
neighbor, intimates a deSife fd le informed 1
whether it will violate our rights, and respect
fully enquires “if the publication by that paper
(the Standard) is an infringement of our Copy
Right.” We respectfully refer the Chron. &
Sent., as well as all who design to publish
from the Standard of Union, the testimony in
this case, to the laws respecting copy rights.
The publication of the testimony in the
Bunkley case, by the Standard of Union, is
not done under any arrangement or consent
of ours; and the question whether it is an in
fringement of our copy right, will, in all pro
liability be submitted to the proper tribunal
to determine.
Ti.e Standard have, as they say, (?) in
curred considerable expense and much labor
to present their readers witli the testimony in
the Bunkley case!!! We have no doubt
but that they will be handsomely repaid tor
copying it from the exemplification furnish
ed the Keeper of the Penitentiary, by the
number of new subscribers which they hepe
to obtain, and for whose accommodation an
extra number have been printed. In addi
tion to tins, our neighbor will, by having thus
'irtjdred us, in the sale of our “BOOK” gratify
'their mdlicltus and vindictfve-feetintgs against
us for fire.'rtn'iirig td tffer to "do printing, or
publish a “BOOK” without their permission.
Upon the acquisition of this unenviable,
though, to them delicious dish for their appe
tite, they can feast, while they exult over the
injury 'Aorifc Vis, and their disregard tth the
course pursued by themselves, or the rights
and social feelings ot their neighbors. The
expense they incurred by displaying thfeir 6f
fice and occupying their whole sheet to hur
ry this evidence, nearly entire, before the
public, is but a trifle to them, when compar
ed with the joyful greeting and the bountiful
redrew! their inuliial cheering will afford rt re
counting the glorious achievrnents accomplish!
ed by their vindictive conduct and ungenerous
feelings.
The Wtrge Quantity of Book and athnt prin
ting they have on band for the &iate, which
should demand theiAnmediale attention, and
for which they are well paid, appears to be a
matter of little consequence to them, when
they dm), that the Federal Union have a
“BOOK” t 6 publish, which they can injure
the sale of, however ungenerous, or unprovok
ed may be the course pursued to effect it.
Our neighbor’s knowledge ot the law, and
Os our Copy Right, obtained Whderit-, hWtVes
them without any pretext 'tinder the plea of ig
norance; as to either; and they canitbt com
plain of us for resenting their conduct. Our
mild and persuasive requests of them, were
sufficient to have determined them to desist
their publication of ibis matter, if, in their
disposition-, it were poseiblfe fdi- them to sur*,
render th'eilr p'drSdiial 'enmity and ambitious
feelings.
We again insert the certificate of our Copy
Right, in order that it may not bo inlringed.
We trust there will not bo fonnd another
press, in Georgia, which will intimate the
Standard’s inimical and injurious course to
ward us''

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23d, 1838.
On Friday (the date of my last letter) the Se
nate adjourned till to da;. The Housa sat on
Saturday. The Mississippi Election case Was
the principal business.
Mr. FOSTER of N. Y, continued his long,
prosy, and pointless speech in behalf of the sitting
members. The calibre of this person is abou t
that of a fourth rate village attorney. He bad
the bad taste to affect a sneer at the highly
wrought and admirable eloquence of Mr. Prentiss.
He would not indulge in tropes and metaphors
&c. Ac not be! He looked Upon it as unbe
coming. He regarded himself as a Judge; and
to on, he stilted in this high style, thinking him
self a marvellous proper man, and Mr. Prentiss a
mere dwarf in oratory beside him!
Mr. BRONSON of N. Y. is to follow his col
league sod also do battle for the sitting members.
Both of these edvocales came here as conserva
tives at the extra session; and ever since they
have been laboring as volunteers in work of tbs
kind they are now engaged in, to conciliate the
favor of “the party,” end get back again into the
ranks. Their cantervation extends only to ccr.
tain banks, against which the Administration is
waring. As to all other parly measures, they
are as unscrupulous as jariy Os the trainbands.
The conservative constituency of New York, are
not Italy represented by these gentlemen of “ifs”
and “huts;” and so the latter will find.
Ilia not at all probable that the efforts of Mr*
Foster & bis coadjutors, aided byjall the discipline
of the party, will prevail against Messis Prentiss
and Word. There have been several change* in
1 ,beir f» v or. The speech of Mr. Pren»isa mad* an
J impression that will not soon be forgotten. Should
1 he be admitted, he his gained for himself a repu
-1 tation as one ol the most able and eloquent men
> in Congress.

’ to Tuesday next; and Mr. Calhoun's agitating

Mr. BLACK of Mississippi resigned his seat
in the Senate to-day. He stated no reason for
the step. It is understood that he is compelled
to take it by imperative edghgerAents it hotAe.

Mr. SWIFT of Vermont offered a memorial
from the Governor of that State, praying that the
Franking privilege be extended to the Governors
ofStaWs. Referred to the Committee on Post
dlmces artd Post Roads.
A number of petitions were presented praying
for abolition in the District of Columbia. The
question of reception was demanded, and, on mo
lion of Mr. Strange, laid on the table.
Mr. MORRIS of Ohio presented an enormout
pile; and said they had all reached him since the
debate on Mr. Calhoun’s resolutions. Ohio, ho
said, was determined to present an unbioken front
in favour of the Right of Petition.
Mr. LUMPKIN of Georgia moved that the
communication from the War Department, rela
tive to the execution of the Cherokee Treaty, bo
oidered to be printed. 5000 copies were ordered.
Mr. LUMPKIN then referred to the memorial
from John Roes and others, which had been or
dered lobe printed by the other House; and spoke
in terms of great severity against the conduct of
Russ; and moved that a reply, published by Mr.
Boudinot, Editor of the Cherokee Phoenix, be al
so printed fur the use of the Senate. 1500 co
pies of the reply were ordered.
The Senate then proceeded to the considera
tion of the bill reported by the committee on
Judiciary for the protection of the lives of pas
sengers in vessels propelled by steam; which
was ordered finally to the third reading.
In the Houve, Mr. EVERETT, of Vermont,
called up the petition es -John Ross and others,
. VcHWhs'tlkfiVifc ffcilnst the execution of the Cher
okee treaty of December 1835; and praying
Congress for relief; which was presented by
him on Monday last. Mr Owens, of Ga. ob
jected, and called the ayes and nays on granting

solution ayes 96 nays 83.
Mr. HAYNES thenkaidlMXimWe was to

as at any other time; and moved to postpone
indefinitely the motion to commit it- to the ,
Committee on Indian Affairs, which had t

men then took the floor and commenced an ad- 1
dress in favor of the petitioners, but the hour for (

House took up the Mississippi E\ectVcd case', and (
Mr Foster again rose and continued his speech t

14th Witness. Wm C Slatler— The first I
time I ever saw J L B was the last of 1824 t
and first of 825; it was the man that lived
here in Clinton, and said that was his name; f
he made himself known as a relative; j[ was I
very intimate with liim.JHe spent four or five I
months at my father’s, off and on; he was s
very irregular—sometimes he would go off, it t
made no difference which way, and stay away r
a week at a time, and then return; ho was a v
very obstreperous lad. Prisoner is the same
man; Since he returned the last time, I came
to Jones county, and came here to see him, v
thinking I should know him; Slatter told me f
to go into crowds and listen, and he would c
he pointed out; I went to Mrs. Bennett’s to I
see him, and would not tell her my name; f
prisoner came in to dinner, in a company,and 1
I knew him. I consider him to be Jesso L c
Bunkleyf pHsiftterhad toothache in Knoxville, t
and in attempting to ifraw itjtfie Doctor broke
it off. I have since examined,and it satisfied j
me it was the same—the back teeth, I think, ti
on the right side. There was a mark or scar t
on * * * * I have exam- c
ined the scar, and it is the same Bear, i Itnew I
him as he cattle into the lidlise, and I knew 1

con; iltfas not more than four or five months {
that he was alltiiit rfiy father’s House; I can't 1
be certain as to the time; I was with him 5
whenever he was about the county of Craw. "
ford—he was part of the tim* off—frequently ‘
away, and then back again; Dr. Lockhart c
drew his tooth, or tried, and broke offa piece.
Ha was not grown to full size; he said he was \
17 or 18; had no beard—had rather a round ,
face—nose inclined to be Roman—eyes blue, t

FOR THE STATE. '
65th Witness. Michael M. Healy— Knew I
J L B; cama here in 1818. and lived here 1
when he went away, and lived altogether *
' among the connexion; do not think prisunc
-isJ L B. //.ive a perfect remembrance o
, his features; recollect his finger being bit
and was at the camp meeting where it occur
- {ed. He had lignt hair, round face, nost
I short, and inclined to be bloiint at the end
l when well pleased, and smoking a aegar, hit
lip was thrown out. with a peculiar leer o
the headchad pp, resemblance of Hull Slotter
. face rounu,and eyes full; had a dimple in hii
chin.
60th Witness. IVt/aou Pope —KnewJ I
B from 1821 till he left here; 1 lived in Clin
ton, and he was frequently about me; cannol
S cognize in prisoner any of (ns features. ■ Ir
ay or June, 1824, I think I left for New
Vork; was requested, if 1 saw J L B, to gel
him to come home; saw J L B about the
Exchange, in Savannah; he asked me to walk
into the Exchange, and said he was out of
money, and asked me to let him have some;
promised him to do so, it he would come
home 1 , said V.e thought he would; then gave
him some money, and engaged my passage
on board the sloop Gold Huntress; saw Jesse
once or twice after that, and he said he was
going home. He afterwards said he would
go to New York with me; we went to sea,
and therts wtis a comfdAirtt that PupVtcy, )pjd
'i'rtSttltedSAifte la'Aies', and it was determined
the cortVpany that he should not go below
except at meals. After we got to New York,
saw no more of him. He was excluded from
the cabin and kept on deck, except at mpAls.
Have conversed with prisoner l , Alia asked
him if he knew me; said he thought he knew
me) asked if 1 was not Mr. I’ope, and if I did
nut once lend him some money in Savannah
Said he went to Charleston from there; told
me he had been to N. York two or throe
times; thought he sailed fVcrti SaVAnnah
could not tell mu any of the circumstances
that I enquired of about the passage. He
was inclined to be full faced, hair light, face
rather full and round, more so than prisoner’s.
Cannot see any likeness in prisoner to J L B.
Cross-examined —The passengers on board
prevented his going below, except at meals—
said he would call again and converse with me
—told the truth about the year wo sailed; did
let him have the money in Savannah; his re
collection corroborated me in regard to the
amount of money I let him have; was a wild
rude youth; think I have seen a youth’s face
become less round and full from IB to 30 or
’2. Have had no conversation with him since
on that subject.
G7th Witness. Jno. IV. Gordon —Went to
Macon; prisoner was at Wood’s tavern; went
up stairs and walked round; he spoke and
called me by name; asked him how often he
had been to New Vork: six or seven times,
and before he left Georgia, once or twice.
Said he sadd from Charleston; asked him if
some p'ersnn from Jones did not advance him
money and pay his passage; could not recol
lect who it was, nor wh'd went onto'Ard with
him from this county —recollected nothing on
the passage that made an impression on his
mind; I informed him that somebody in Jones
lent him money—was proffered a carnage,
and to be conveyed to his mother’s, and that
if he cotlld salls'fy fi'er and Captain Parrish,
he should have liis money in twenty days,
He to fused, to come, Wqsas well acquain
ted with j L IS as with most young men of the
sains age; do not believe prisoner to be the
man; wan present witli Mr. Marlin, when pri
soner was examined; showed his knee—-there

iticVi m mark on any other person.
Cross examined—llavejbeen away ten or
tw’AVve years from a place that I lived at. and

think prisoner is the same person.
Cross-examined —Saw prisoner when he
first arrived here—lie mentioned Captain
Parrish’s nArtVe, and sAid he would not call
Mr. Lowther Captain Parrish. There were

Afterwiftils three or four years—no intimate ac
quaintance; saw him at Jasper camp meeting a
day or two; fought there with Morris, and had
his finger hit—saw the finger aflcr the fight, and
think it was the left fore finger—think the nail
was hit, but the bone not injured; thought the
nail was nearly all off. Never saw him but once
or twice—saw him after the finger wa» well, but
did ;iot examine il; first saw prisoner, afterwards,
yeslbfday; Mr uibaon pointed him out to me,

j oner went into a room ; prisoner did not ask mt
into the room ; I think Macarthy asked him; In
j answered our questions ; v bul not correctly to alt
and did not ask us to stay,longer; he lodged n't i
l different room, as I understood.
He examined hy Stal^; —Have seen rny father
1 run dcaso out his shop a great many times with
(ire ; one of mv brothers was tried sallies—he
- was the AtiJ 1 'was lesse’s Associate 1 , I had
sisters (fiat went to school with Jesse.
* 70th Witness. Jtiichael Sullivan —Knew J.
’ L. 1). four years; 1 lived in Jlinton; J. 1,. It.
‘ was frequently at rny establishment—wo were
• very iViVmVflu * pristVtWr *s rtosiljvefy Vi6t J . I',. U
■ J. L. U.’s linger was bit olf, and perfectly blunt
I above the nail. It was, to the best of my mom
' ory.lhc middle finger of the left hand, and as
' blunt as a cane or any thing else ;J. L. U.’s
I hair was light, his face round well built—very
• much like Augustus Uillingslea; his nose short,
! and a little inclined to turn up. i Wet hirrt once
I in Spans, on rny way to Augusta, and ho said
he was glad to see me, and look a glaaa of toddy
r with me; the tavern keeper made out his bill*
and I paid it fur him ; I brought him M(Hedge
ville, and had inure hard work with him than any
> man in the world; we took turns to ride and
walk. I left him at Milledgevile, as I could not
| find him; prisoner spoke to me, several times.
, Cross-examined—Prisoner asked me if I tec
ollected being with him at Cane’s I did not rec
’ oiled it; he asked me if i recollected his stealing
j a pencil from a pedlar; I replied “No"—Jesse
( never did such a thing as that; he asked me if I
recollected, his giving me a book ; 1 told him I
did, and had mentioned it to every body.
1 lie-examined by Slate—l was present at the
1 interview with hia mother; he said the D. in his
* name stood lor Leu/io —Mr. Palmer was in the
1 yard, and Captain Parish was present —Palmer
i had been in the house also.
71st Witness - liichurd Jttow —Knew J. 1,,
i B.; had not much acquaintance with him; don't
i reco'lTccl hi* features.
73d Witness. H'/iolhnt Blount —l recollect
that J. J>. U.’s father moved to this place when
J. L. U. was about six or seven years of age, as I
judge, and he lived here till he went away ; I do
not know the prisoner and he lias no resemblance
to J. L. B.; I ffvtift during (his lime about two
miles from Clinton ; prisoner AAFc'd if { recollect
ed his going a gunning about my house, and my
driving him olf—told him I did not; recollected
\i KavetoWeretd Asa Cook off from shooting about
my notice. ~
Cross-examined—Did not see anjr tibdy else
with Cook; Win D Uunkloy the father was up
wards of six feet high; light hair and fair com
plexion; a very likely man well made; he lived
here several years; think he came here in 1811
rtr ’ 12; am not positive; don’t recollect the num
ber of years ho livfs'd here; hs lived at Mrs. Gib
sun’s house, where ha died and kept a store; Asa
Cook and J h It were both hoys who lived here;
don’t recollect the time I drove Cook away from
shooting; don't recollect the time between pri
soner’s asking me the question about shouting
and time 1 drove Cook off.
73d Witness. Peyton 7' Pitti~ Knew J L
U and went to school with him ut Osborn’s, to
Daniel Dulfir; should say, according to the best
of rny recollection, prisoner is nol J 1, U; knew
J D U after we left that school; we went together
to school, in 1818 or ’l9.
74th Witness. Green Gray —Knew J J, U
for different limes, perhaps four or five years—
perhaps more; was here when he went away; all
that I can say is, that if prisoner is J h U he has
lost all favor as far as I can see,
Cfoss eiiini'.ned —ft is eleven or twelve yea s
since I saw J I, U.
75th Witness. John Permenter —Knew JI,
B from 1818 10 1P24; have been frequently in
his company in different (daces; this prisoner is
nol the man; talked witli prisoner on Dslurday:
he said he knew Wright I'etnienler from 1823
or ’3, till he, prisoner, wont off. Wright Per
menter went off to -South Carolina in 1830 or
1831—Wright Permenter returned in 1838.
Cmsa-erumitled —f,‘. wad on Saiurillly evening
I talked wiiji jirisioitef; raw J Lfi in 1834, in
Montgomery, Ala.; talked with prisoner after
Court adjourned for dinner.
70lh Witness. Charlet // JJrookt —KrcwJ
L B from 1813 to’l4, (ill he wont away; his
uncle and rnysclf used to go about racing, and
Jesse with us—knew him well. Prisoner is nol
the man; (he first time I. ever saw prilolier was
at Wood’s tavern, in Macon.
77th Witness. John J Uentley —Knew J L
B; was ofien with him; knew him from a small
hoy till he went away; came to Clinton in 1809
ond he about two or three years afterwards; he
was a well educated boy—and to.be apt at school;
should say prisoner is not the same man; have
seen piisrfher attempt to signals name to a bond
—he was bungling|at it'ftif ,t;thef )>e wrplea
bad hand, and his first attempt could not lie made
out; didn’t think from the way he holds and usee
the pen that ho ever could write.
Cross-examined—The clerk’a hoi was crowded
When he attempted to sign—the people crowded
about ao that I gave way; the people crowded
around from every part of the house.
78lh Witness. William (I, Smith —Had some
conversation wilh prisoner in Macon, on his way
to this place; asked him ten or twelve queatfpns,
such]' as bnnkley should have fttiown; he answbr.
ed none of them correctly; he said hia step-falher
had a black smilh’s shop in Clinton—it was pub
lic, and ho had a good run of work; do not
know that his step,father had a shop—have not
a distinct recollection ofj L B.'s features.
CfbSs-examirted— Did n'o£ know old Mr. B;
first believed prisoner was Buckley, but in about
two day* changed my opinion, and have never
since believed prisoner to be Uunklay; these were
questions respecting facts known to myself that
I propounded to prisoner. ,
79th Witness. Ahner fll p'leweUen —Was
acquainted with J L D well from 1817 till bo
won*, iwsy, sm unable to recognize prisoner sor 1
