■tfotwithstaiuling tlie law of our last
■filature prohibiting, umler particular
Bpivisions, the introduction of slaves in-1
■oour State, the eyes of the just and!
■onest part of our community, continue I
■o be shamefully offended with bare-faced
Kolations of that equitable and humane {
Statute. Among the numerous infrac-i
lons of t)td kind, which Jiaye recently
■ccurred, we shall notice one of so fla
■rant a nature, accompanied with clr- \
fcmstancesof such daring and success-!
■ol impunity, that we humbly conceive
■t becomes the imperious duty of our
ftext Legislature, to correct, by mi es-
Kctual remedy, this monstrous abuse,
■uliether resulting from an inefficacy of 1
law itself, or a laxity iu its execu-1
■ion. 4 I
I Some time last week the attention of
■w citizens was attracted by a company
l)f slaves marching through our Ci y 1
■from the adjacent State,) with all ‘-the
Romp and circumstance” of illegal tri-
K mph. Arranged in raqk and tile, they
■were furnished with sticks which they
■shouldered as muskets, and preceded by
la kettle drum, they made their entre in-
Ito our State in defiance of law, and in
mockery of justice. After performinga I
interesting evolutions, they were I
■scattered through our city, and peimit
■ted to offer themselves for sale, which
■they did to several persons. There just I
■ana humane oWner was shortly after ac-
I coated by a respectable citizen—“ Are
I you not affraid, sir, thus to violate the
laws of our state ?” “ I have not viola- ]
ted the law of your state, (replied the I
equivocating adept)—the negroes are my
property, but they are not for sale.”—
Thus his unfortunate victims were made
the very agents of his security—and he, {
this dealer iu human (lesh, was suffered
to laugh remonstrance to scorn, while he
trampled qpon the dispensations of jus-1
lice and humanity,.

THE PENITENTIARY. \
This humane institution of our state, I
is now in the ** full tide of successful I
experiment!” Most ofthe convicts are
profitably employed in the manufacture
of shoes and cigars, which are-sold at a
very reduced price. Negroes shoes, of
good quality, can be had at a dollar—the
convicts, one of whom is an excellent
workman, will make on an average, near
ly two pair a day each. Other branches I
of manufacture will probably be com-j
menced, as soon as the necessary ar
rangements can be effected. The con
victs have a neat, heathful appearance; :
and the institution, which is yet in its
infancy, we trust will equal the hopes of
its friends, and answer public expecta
tion.
To satisfy the frequent enquiries that,
are made by persans at a distance, res
pecting the number of convicts, their pe
riods of imprisonment, and the offences
for which they are confined, we have pro
cured, from the Superintcndant of the
penitentiary, the following statement
for publication.

Latest from Amelia.
We haave just time to state, that we

from Amelia, who informs us that the

them to retreat nine miles. Several offi

was sustained whatever. Colonel Irwin

IMPORTANT.
W c have seen a letter from a gentle
man at Gibaraltar, date June 12, stating,
that he had conversed with an officer
belonging to the United States’ship Pea
cock, just arrived at the place of Al
giers ami Tunis.
From the latter place they had bro’t our
Consul, Mr. Anderson, who was induced
to leave there, owing to his having been
treated in a manner that would not just
ify lus remaining longer as the repre
sentative of the United States. The
Hey, for some time previous to his de
parture, would not permit him to come
i n his presence, in cttnsequcnce of his re
fusing to kiss his hignes's hand.
He has also detained there an Atner-|
ican citizen, for demanding payment for
property sold his Highness, to the am
ount of several thousand dollars.
The Peacock left them getting their ;
fortification in-order,-and it is the gene
ral opinion that there will be a brush
with them, soon after her joining the
squadron at Merseiltes.- She will saili
as soon as she can get in a supply-of pro
visions and water.— Gazette.,
Norfolk, (Vir.) Sept. 10.
Captain Cox informs that the United
States sloop of war Peacock, capt. Rod
gei’S, arrived nt Gibraltar some time in
Juno last, from Algiers, for the purpose
lof procuring provisions: as the Plague
was known to be raging at Algiers, the
Peacock .as compelled to ride Quaran
tine, and it so happened, that when she
| was permitted to have communication
with the shore, there was not an article
of salt provisions te be purchased in the
whole port of Gibraltar. Immediately,
however, at the request of the American
Consul, the Governor of that place, gen.
Don, supplied captain Rodgers, with
whatever he required, out of the public
stores, requiring only that the same
should be replaced by our Consul as soon
as convenient. The Peacock sailed
from Gibraltar up the Mediterranean, on
the 28fh of June.
The conduct of Gen. Don in this in
stance, accords with his usual deport
ment to our countrymen, which we have
frequently heard spoken of in the war-,
mest terms of recommendation.
AVc have met with an interesting ori-
I ginal work, just published, entitled, “Oh-
J servations on the Geology ofthe United
J States of America; with sonic remarks
J on the effect produced on the nature and
I fertility of soil, by the decomposition of
I the different classes of hocks, &c. By
William Maclure. ” The work is ac-
I companied with a beautiful Geological
I Map; and canrot fail of being highly in
teresting to the patriot and the man of
I science.
j The folowing extracts from the work
I refer to tire tract of country, part of
| which has been lately exposed to sale by
I our government, and will probably be ac
-1 ceptable to many of our readers.
« That part of this state (Georgia) which
I lies upon the declivity ofthe Allegany
] mountains sheltered to the south from
I the northerly winds, and open to the
j mild temperature of the south and south-
J west breezes, ought to be, and indeed
I is, one of the most moderate climates of
I the United States: in a groat measure
I free from the sudden and violent changes
Jof heat and cold produced by the free
j circulation of those two oposite currents
j of air from the north and south bringing
I along with them the temperature of the
J opposite climates from whence they
Jcame, It may likewise be considered
(as a climate more congenial to the growth
I ol plums from the south of Europe, such
las the vine and the olive, than any sit-
I nation north of it in the United States.”
Ip. 116.
I « That part of this district (Missis-
I sippi territory) which lies on the decliv-
Jity of the hills towards the south, pro-
Itected from the north winds, and open
j towards the south, will most probably
j enjoy an equal and moderate climate;
j and, like the part of Georgia in a similar
situation, it will be favorable to the pro
j duction of the vine and the olive.” p, 118.

JOHNS. HINES,
Submits to the Citizens of Georgia and
the American people, generally, fho
following Prospectus of a New Paper, •
to be published in the town of Mil
ledgevillc, under the title of
The Reflector.
WHATEVER is necessary to bo
said of a paper that will soon
speak for itsell may he comprised in a
few words. The editor is in feelingand
principle, decidedly a republican, attach
ed to our political institutions, and
friendly to the late and present adminis
trations of flie general government.-
These sentiments will stamp the politi
cal character of his paper; but he does
not think himself infallible, or believe all
meu to be ignorant or corrupt, who dif
fer from him in opinion. His feelings
are tolerant, and his conduct will be li
beral. He will duly respect the opini
ons of those who entertain sentiments
different from his own, and allow them
to be heard if their language and manner
jrive them a just claim to the courtesy.
He will endeavor to avoid party strife
and personal altercation, and labor assi
duously to soften party aspcrityjto con
vince (hat every difference of opinion is
not a difference of principle, and to unite,
as I sir as possible, the whole American
family in devotion to the happiness and
glory of the republic.
But while our country, Europe and the
whole world, except Spanish America,
are at peace, and while there are so fc\y
subjects upon which public sentiment
among ourselves is divided, the political
department of the paper must necessari
ly bo circumscribed within narrow lim
ns. The editor rejoices at this, as it will
give ample mom and opportunity to ad
vance objects of vital importance to the
country, such as river and canal naviga
tion, agriculture, and the useful and do
mestic arts—for promoting the diffusion
ol scientific knowledge—inculcating a
taste for elegant literature, and for giv- ,
ing ardor to virtuous principles ami c«u
ilifrnce to religious truths—-an employ
ment better suited to the editor’s feel
ings, and which his judgment assures him
will be more beneficial to his country
than any other.
The paper slmll contain sketches of
the proceedings of the National Geor
gia state legislature; Most of the iteviews,
Magazines and reports and transaction*
of learned bodies in America, will be re
gularly examined, and their quintessence
radiated from the “Reflector.” Inline,
it will be the editor’s object “to hold
the mirror up to nature, to shew Virtue
her feature,, anil Vice her image,and the
very age and body of the Time his form
and pressure.
CONDITIONS.
The “ Reflector” will be published,
weekly, in the town of Millcdgeville,
with a good type, on paper of super-royal
size, and committed to the mad, or de
livered to subscribers in town, at three
dollars a year, payable in advance.
Advertisements that are not improper
for every eye, will be inserted on tlio
usual terms.
Each year will comprise a volume, at
the end of which an extra sheet will be
puolised containing a title page and a
copious table of reference. It is there
fore hoped the subscribers will preserve
and bind their volumes. The eilitor flat
ters himself that tliey will be worth pre
serving, and that in future years tliey
will be .advantageously consulted as a
correct history of passing events, and an
a repository ol tnuch agricultural, scien
tific ami literary matter of permanent
interest and value.
