carried out with regard to Cherokee, would not
that country now be in a safer condition? —
We answer unhesitatingly, and without the
fear of contradiction, yes—and we put it to
all our brother editors who warred against the
3 predecessor of Gov. Gilmer, to say in candor,
whether they did not injustice to that officer in
view of this question. There can be no doubt
but that a necessity docs really exist for guar
ding the frontier, and what we contend for is,
that the same necessity has existed for the last
two years. The Constitutionalist speaks our
sentiments:
“Two companies are ordered out bv the
Governor, according to the requisition cf Col,
Lindsay, for the defence of coun
try. We would be pleased to hear from those
editors in Georgia, who were so clamorous a
. gainst Gov Schley, for the organization of a
* military force in the Cherokee country, what
they have now to say about the Cherokee In
dians in May next? Will this removal be ef
efficted without trouble and coercion? Is not
resistance apprehended? An I ifi last year, a
military force had been so organized as to take
the field at a moment’s warning, would resist
ance have been apprehended?
TEXAS.
By the arrival yesterday of the Steam Ship
Constitution, Says the New Orleans Bee, of the
’ 11th inst., we have received our files of the
Houston Telegraph, up to the 30th ult. An
extra number of that journal published on
Christmas day, gives a rumored account of a
battle said to have been fought at San Antonio
ile Bexar (Behar) between a considerable bo
dy of invading Mexicans, and a part of the
Texian army under Colonels Karnes & Wells
—on the 20th ult. from 9a. m. till 4 p. rn.,
with doubtful results. But rumor generally
exaggerates. —The same paper of the 30th ult.
givesan abstract of the account transmitted to
the Secretary at war by Col. Karnes. He:
states that about 50 Mexicans had made an
attack on the guard protecting the horses about'
8 miles below that city—killing one and ta
king the other prisoner; and that they had
been pursued unavoidably for 10 miles, ns the
trial had given out. This is however consid-j
cred an art ol retaliation against Texas. The .
Telegraph adds—possib'y, this engagement
has marked Tekel on the walls of Mexico.
The Texian government has purchased a
brig, carrying 11 guns and 200 men. It is
anchored in Galveston Bay, and will soon be
ready for action.
The organization of the militia is gradually
r progressing. '1 hos. J. Rusk has been nppoi,,’.
ted major general; E. Burleson, M. Baker,.l.
11. Dyer, and K. 11. Douglas, gencials of hri
gadc; and 11. B. McLeod, adjutant general.
A general order was issued on Christmas day
by General Rusk, ordering lhe officers of ilie 1
militia to have their troops in readiness to
march against lhe enemy at a monn nt’s warn
ing; lor it is apprehended that the Mexican ar
my will now shortly invade Te.m. in full
Ill\ Mill Hl»nuu I 111 lUii
force. The Texians appear confident of their
own strength and success. Volunteers and
subscriptions have already been raised to as.
sist the movements of the government and ar
my; und it is enthusiast icnlly anticipated that
the Texians will now invade Mexico before ter-'
minating the present campaign. This is of’
course a mere chimera at present at least.
, ’Pho correspondence between the British
Minister and the Secretary of State is calcttla- 1
ted, by its entire friendly and becoming tone,
on both sides, to dissipate all apprehension that
might be occasioned by the allusions to the
possibility of war, which even grave Senators t
have indulged in, on occasion of the outrage at
Schlosser.
Our surprise at the familiarity with which a
resort to war is talked of, ns though it were
almost as much a blessing ns a curse, and as
though it involved no deep moral responsibility
—no misery— nor crim.*—is, we confess, tin.
utterablc. Upon the slightest pretext men of
all parties seem to vie with each other in urg.
ing on the madness that looks upon an appeal
to brute force us the fitting arbitrament of a
casual misunderstanding between reasoning
and immortal beings—and in the base race for
popularity, the happiness and peace of the
country, the reflection; of calmer reason, mid
the suggestions of religion, all appear to be
overlooked or disregarded.
Let the press, then, inculcate this truth, that
Pence is the first want and the first duty of vv.
cry nation; nnd that no occurrence, or series
of occurrences, susceptible of explanation—
and so long us explanation is not absolutely
denied—should force any people to forego its
blessings.—.V. F. American.

WILLIAM BROOKLYN,
Or the victim of circvmstantial testi
mony.
There are few persons conversant with the
administration of criminal law, in the courts of
justice, that cannot, call to mind some tragic
tale, cither derived from the books of“lhe pro
-1 session,” or from personal observation of cas-
I es, in which the sternest sanctions of the law
have been unsparingly executed upon innocent
I victims. While a few such cases may be tra
i ced to deliberate and wilful perjury, by
far the greatest majority of them, have ori
' ginated in u blind confidence of courts and
juries, in their inferences from circumstan
ces, in the absence of positive testimony.
Though it is true that many of the reported
cases are not sufficiently authenticated to es
tablish the facts they disclose beyond contra
diction, yet many of those which are rejected
as historical, contain in themselves intrinsic
evidence, at least su fiiciently strong to render
j I lair occurrence probable And even though
■ it be conceded that a majority ofsuch reports
be actually untrue, yet most of them show from
■ an examination of thv circumstances offered in
1 testimony,—the honest conviction and subse-
I quent verdict of the jury,—the execution of
1 the victim, —and the final refutation of the
1 charge against him showing his innocence—
I that courts and juries should be extremely vig
ilant and cautious in admitting convictions as
to the guilt of a prisoner, where the charge is
supported only by circumstances. If uniform
■ inferences were always drawn from the same
I facts; —if the human mind was so far infalli
ble as always to deduce lhe same conclusions
fioin the same premises, then indeed con vic
lions founded on presumptive testimony, would
not be so objectionable. The merciful maxim
iof the law, that “It is better that ninety-iiine
i guilty persons should escape punishment, than
for one innocent one to sutler,” would not be so
often violated. But unfortunately this is not
! the case.
When a prisoner is arraigned before lhe
1 court, and circumstance after circumstance is
unfolded to.show his guilt.a thousand hidden in
fluences are operating on the minds of the jury,
differing in their nature according to the cast
of mind on which they act, while one becomes
I excited and leaps to a sudden conclusion, ano
| ther is calm, and deliberately weighs each sub
mitted fait. But enough of this.— Wc oiler
the following sketch, as illustrative of the po
sition we have assumed.
Ina flourishing village of the West, resided
a widow lady by the name of Brooklyn. She
had an only son who was not only the pride
of her own heart, but the subject of pleasing
expectation by his numerous friends. Mild and
I amiable in his manners —correct and steady
in his deportment, with a high cast of intellect,
even ia the dawn of manhood, he secured
the respect and esteem of his acquaintance.
At the lime of the commencement of our
sketch, he had just been admitted to the bar.
liis hopes were high, and visions of future
prosperity, danced in bright perspective be
fore him. Added to this, an early and mutual
affection between himself and Etneline Carr,
a sweet girl of his native village, every way
his equal, created for William Brooklyn in
creased charms to existence. Ours is not a
talc of love; it is therefore irrelevant to depict
the scenes of private endearment, in which
mutual confidence was 101 l and vows of con
stancy exchanged between them. It is enough
that they truly loved. About the same time
William was apprized by his mother of her in
ten ion once more to take upon herself the du
ties of a wedded life. He wa s astonished ev
en at this vague announcement, but when he
was informed that the future husband of his
mother was an individual in the neighborhood,
who, though wealthy, was in every respect ob
noxious to him; he could not express his disap
probation in terms peritaps too harsh for a
mother's car. The habits of Mr. Wells were
indeed objectionable to most persons possessing
correct moral feelings. lie was quite dissipa
ted, and was generally considered as one who
acknowledge no moral responsibility.
William did every thing in his power to pre
vent the inauspicious union. His opposition
was perhaps too violent to insure success,
where success was possible. His moth
er, though in other respects amiable, was
rather imperious in her manner and decided in
her di terminations; and no beseeching entrea
ties—no harsh epithets applied by her son to
the object of her choice, could for a moment
swerve her from her purpose. She was mar
. ned to \\ ells—left the village lor bis residence
a lew miles distant, and—her sun of happiness
nas st. Ihe bitter opposition of William to
the union hail awakened in the mini! of W ells
, the hottest animosity against him, and he scru
pied not a short tune after his marriage, to;
1 treat him with public indignity. Insult was
: followed by recrimination, and to all appear-'
’ ance, settled hostility was the consequence. ;
j,; William’s feelings under what he regarded
p a misfortune, were however greatly soothed
by the tender demonstrations of affection on
* the part of his Etneline, who was in a short
f. time to become his bride. She pursuaded him
r ' to do all in his power to overcome his dislike to
’! his step-father—arguing from the old adage,
| that, “What cannot be cured must be endu
'. red.” Tenderness finally effected that which
i probably nothing else could have done# and
J William wrote a conciliatory letter to his rno
t ther, which resulted in a joint invitation from
Wells and herself, to spend a lew days at their
residence, which he accepted.
> We now introduce another individual upon
[ our little stage. Not very fur from the resid
ence of Wells, there lived an abandoned char
acter by the name of Harris, who had several
limes been arraigned at the bar of justice for
the commission ofcrimes, but had uniformly
succeeded in escaping punishment until it fell
to the lot of William Brooklyn to assist in a
prosecution for theft against him. His untir
ing and persevering vigilance, in ferretting out
lhe testimony, and his ability in the manage
ment of the case were crowned with success,
and Harris was found guilty. His back was
submitted to the lash and his cheek to the
brand, and he went forth with the mark of in
famy on his cheek, and lhe revengeful pas
sions of a demon burning in his heart, and
William Brooklyn was the object of his re
venge.
Against Wells too, he entertained the bit
terest hostility, for having in several instances
endeavored to bring him to justice.
A few days after William’s arrival at his
step-fathers, the latter, early one mornirg pro
posed to him a short excursion in the woods
with their guns. lie acquiesced, but at the
same time intimated the necessity of his return
,to the village that day. They accordingly
i started, and were soon lost in the thick shades
of the surrounding forest. Their course how
ever, was not unobserved. Harris having as
certained that Biooklyn was at Well’s, the
idea was at once suggested to his mind, that
now he had an opportunity of wreaking his
long sought vengeance. Difficulties were,
however, in the way, and he set himself about
contriving with the subtlety of a practical vil
han, to gratify his malice, and at the same
time to escape suspicion. As yet no plan by
which he could achieve this, had suggested it
self to his mind. lie had watched the house
closely, lhe few preceding days, but hitherto
he had been disappointed. Now when he saw
them going together in the woods, he gloated
in lhe prospect cf a horrid satisfaction fur what
he tried to consider his wrongs.
He followed stealthily along, seeing but un
seen, waiting like the wily tiger in his jungle,
to pounce upon his prey. On a sudden his at
tention was arrested by a sight of something
that glittered on the ground before him. He
approached and picked it up. It was a small
and exquisitely made dagger, without a sheath.
He examined it narrowly, and on one side dis
covered the name of “Edward Brooklyn,” and
on the other the motto, “Sic semper tyrannis.”
The demoniac smile of exulta'ion which pas
sed over his features at this discovery it is im
possible to describe. The name of Brooklyn,
convinced him that it was the property of Wfl.
lium, though, probably he knew not at the
time, that it had formerly belonged to his fath
er, and which he had worn after his death.
“I have it,” exclaimed Hanis to himself, af
ter examining the instrument closely a lew se
conds, “I have it, and by the powers of hell
Brooklyn shall pay the penalty of his olfici
ousness by a death as ignominious as has been
my punishment.”
As is usual with sportsmen in quest of game,
Wells and Brooklyn soon separated, to “beat
the woods.” The one took tlie right the other
the left, with an understanding as to where
they should meet. Harris observed it and
pursued the direction which Wells had taken.
He refrained from coming up to him until he
was satisfied that Brooklyn was sufficiently far
off not to hear any struggle or noise that
might occur: and then rushing upon his unsus
peeling victim, he drove the dagger into his
bosom and repeated his blows until the unfor
tunate Wells was a lifeless corpse at his feet.
He then partially wiped the blood from it, and
dropped it a few yards from the body, and with
hasty strides left the scene of his crime. So
sudden had been the assault and so deadly the
blows inflicted, that the unfortunate Wells had
not time to raise his voice cither in a call for
assistance, or in a prayer to his maker.—
Meanwhile, Brooklyn having traversed the
woods in the direction indicated by Wells, had
at length arrived at the appointed place of
meeting, which happened to be on the public
road leading from the village to a neighboring
county town, lie had waited some minutes
for his fellow huntsman, when he was interrup
ted by the appearance of a horseman travel
ling from towards the village. When lie ap
preached Brooklyn soon recognised an old
acquaintance by the name of Wilson.
The usual salutations passed between the
friends, and upon the enquiry of Brooklyn, as
to the news from A ■ , Wilson replied,
that though nothing of a public nature posses
sing any interest had occurred, yet be suppo
sed that it would be proper for him to inform
his friend that Miss Carr was dangerously ill.
Brooklyn could scarcely restrain his impa
tience during the lew moments that the con- ,
versation was prolonged by his friend; and as
soon as it was over, without waiting for the
arrival of Wells, he immediately retraced his
steps to the house, and huniedly informed his
mother of the news he had received, and his
: intention of immediately setting otf for the
luge. {Concluded next week.)
