J THE HAUNTED WATCH TOWER, ' Or the Mysterious Murder. j Tie night and o’er Parana's tide the galliolets are seen to glide, | And round Guaira’s tufted shore, j Is heard the dash of the distant oar, Where from each lattice lightly wreathed, . The soft wavy Paraguy is sweetly breathed, And Migneonet and Accacia pale * Mingle their odour in the passing gale. ( Now hushed is the murmuring from afar, ( And still the tinkling of the light guitar, And all are wrapt in balmy sleep, Save one who wakes alone to weep, With requium prayer and roscry, She kneels ail sad and mournfully, For him who on the bridal morn Had went, ah! neVerto return, And from the cloiter’s turret steep I Tts she who that vigil lone doth keep, Sul there is a ruin’d dark watch tower. Where a death hell tolls at ;he midnight hour: Where the groans of a rest less troubled sprigfat , Comes on the ear at the dead of night— Vis said strange deeds have there been done, j And this most dark mysterious one. Which fierce of Heruiar well might tell Whence those sounds and whence that hell. ( Aye, he might remember that dreadful night, t Tne hour when the storm was at Its height, His struggling victim,that flush 01 gore , Which stdu’d lhatjfower on the lone sea shore, « When nis rapier’s point had made a grave Deep in the bosom of Parana’s wave. T.t 111* hour soon sped, the storm went by, .

And who murders, by the selfsame deed sliall die. Thine hour it come—the blow was sure, Thai dyad the steed of tho assassin in gore, Where that’lone black cross doth mark the spot, | And the murder and murderer w ill ne’er be forgot) Tba cross is placed on that spot to tell 1 The time and the hour when Don Garce fell, , But, ah! where sleeps Irar.oc’s bride!

We published not long since a ' short account of an occurrence in Georgia, between the Governor and , l,a(e Secretary of that state, which ( bad created a good deal of.excite ( fnent. We allude to the dismissal of Col. Hammond, and the appoint ment, by tho Governor of a secre tary in his place. The Georgia papers continue to publish long articles upon the subject, and those in the interest of Mr. Cnwford, appear determined to make use of this transaction as a means of break- jng down the governor and his ad ministration. Connected, as it is, 1 in some respects, with the presidon tial question, so far as it respects Ilr. Crawford, we have examined j j the subject with considerable atten tion ; and we are fully convinced of the cutrectoess of the course pur iued by Governor Clarke. Col. n Hammond, for health or pleasure, f or for both, had left his office; andj I. the state, without the permission of e the Executive, and had absented f himself for some time ; leaving the f business of the public to he trims- f acted by a deputy—an office not b recognized by any law of the state, c Col. Hammond left the office on the tl Hth of July, on the 12th of August, 0 1 the governor was informed that the ai business of the office could no long- w er proceed legally. This having B been ascertained to be the fact, after pi due biquiry, the governor made a ec new appointment, by authority of io the 9th section of the second article hi ofthe constitution ofthat state, which ar declares, that “ when any office— “ shall become Vacant by death, or “ resignation, or otherwise, the go- th “ vernor shall have power to (ill a 44 such vacancy,” &c. In taking sn this coarse, we conceive the Go- vernar did no more than his duty, cl far he is required to administer the SI Government, and the Constitution pe has invested him with powers so to dr do, by clothing him with authority in to appoint the necessary officers, ha whenever from any cause they shall gr become vacant. The office of Se- ris tretwy had been vacated, and such be m office was necessary for the due idministration of the Executive.— f Fhe Governor therefore, had no « ;onrse left but to appoint one. He i lid so ; and fSr this he is now to be I sacrificed -if it can be done, ' That our readers may have an opportunity to judge what sort of a man this Col. Hammond is, in re spect of civility, if nothing (nore, we make the following extracts from an Augusta paper, containing a can did statement of the whole affair. “On Monday,the 19th August, Col, Hammond, with a cane in his hand, accompanied by a large traid of.persons, went into the office of the Secretary of the State. As he entered the door, Mr. Whitaker rose and said, ‘How do you do, Col. Hammond ?” The. Colonel propped his cane down on the floor, and asked by what authority Whitaker was in the office? Whitaker replied by saying, “under an Executive ap pointment.” The Colonel then said, “ God damn the Executive ! who gave him the authority 1 1 order you out of this office. Mr. Whitaker said, be should not go out. The Colonel having called on witnesses, turned to Whitaker and said, “you damn’d insignificant rascal, I order you out of this office instantaneous ly.” Whitaker answered again that be should not go, and resumed his seat.—The persons present were called by Col. Hammond to bear witness of Whitaker's violence, ns he termed it: He then went imme ■ dia’tely to the Executive Office, ac j companied by Thomas H Crawford and several others; .(and here a scene was displayed which may perhaps be considered as unparel lelled forbearance on the one part, and for insolent audacity on ’the other.) The Governor, being seat ed in the Executive chair, spoke to ; Col. Hammond and asked him to, take a seat, pointing to a chair. — He, Col. H. however did not com ply ; hut advanced near to the Go vernor, and (in an angry and threat ning tone) addressed him in the following manner.” “By what authority, sir, havej you taken my office from me and j given it to another ?” “ The Governor, —By the author!-! ty which 1 possess as Executive of the State.” “Co/. Hammond. —You have no such authority.” “ The Governor. —That is not for you to decide.” Col. Hammond. —l could go and take it as you have done ; but I am not disposed to follow your fevil ex ample, you damn’d rascal. " The Governor. Leave the room, sir I will not be abused in my office ; and (rising from his seat, turned round t<> a tabic behind him, picked up his cane said, go out of the room; leave the office this in stant.” “Co/, Hammond- (rotiring)—l will let you know you darn'd rascal, you arc too insignificant.” Here was certainly insolence on parellelled on one side, and very great forbearance on the other ; and whatever may lie the result, we trust that Gco.-gra will never again h ive su.ch a Secretary of State as Col. Abner Hammond. FROM GEORGETOWN. Mr. JONES, the Mail Contrac tor arrived in town last evening, with a Letter Mail from George town.—Nothing had reached there from the North since the late gale, the roads being chunked up with fallen trees. The following cx tracts of private letters fjrnish the distressing particulars of the losses of lives and property at North In let, Georgetown, Lc. “ GEORGETOW N, SEPT. 29- j My feelings, at this moment, will not admit of a full detail of our suf- j feiiugs here on the night before the last. I can only say, that 1 never experienced any thing like it be fore.— However. 1 have the satis fiction to say no member of our family has been injured. Mr. Ro bert Heriot's house was almost crushed to atoms before they left it ; he roof and the whole of the piazza >n the east side, was carried away, md was before morning a perfect vreck. Others suffered equally.— But, great God, what is that in com larison to (he fate of others!—As oon as the day dawned, on my look og around just in our neistbhor lood. 1 saw three houses prostrate, I nd four completely carried away ’ - not a board left to mark the spot - m which they stood. Three of I he houses were inhabited, and not i sonl left to tell the tale of their • ad fate, except poor Mr. Withers f -every branch of his family, in- I biding his nephew, 31r. Wilbers » hackelford, and Mr. Wish, a car- r enter, have perished. Every in- S ividual, black or white, making 15 s i number, of Dr. Myers’ family, v ave been consigned to a watery d rave. Thirty souls must have pe- I shed in these two large families, a asides at least ten or a dozen more, li —Old Mrs. Botsford was drowned - at Mr. Fort’s house, in her bed, to gether with maid, who slept under her bed, and a girl of Mrs. : Sarzedas, culled Bella, with her child —all in Mrs. B’a. room, where ; the hitler had gone for security.— At day light the next morning, the scene was truly awful ; scarcely a dwelling house but what has been injured. The houses of the Rev. Mr. Lance, that of M rs, Myers and Mr. Porter are not tenantahl« ; ma ny that are not entirely carried a way, are not worth repairing. Mr. Robert Taylor’s house, strongly built, was thrown some distance from (he blocks, and the greater part swept. —Not a shingle of the church to be found, and the whole face of the ground so completely changed, that there is no trace where it stood. Mr. Thomas He riot’s house, near the church, shar ed the same fate —he was fort Quote ly in town, or he must have suffer ed, as he was on a range with those who did. Mr Joseph had a nor» row escape with bis family—they had just left their house, and re treated to !lie kitchen, when it fell, j There is scarcely a boat left upon the Island, nearly all having been washed away. “ Georgetown, .Monday, Sept. 30 At the Inlet, Mr. Hubert F. Wi thers’ house was entirely swept a way, and not an individual but bun self saved. Mr Withers Sbackel ford and Mr. Wish (a carpenter) | were w ill) him at the lime, and are 'lnst. Dr. Myerd family and him self are all lost—his house was swept away —not a vestage of it remains. Mr. Fort’s house was blown from the blocks, and in the fall of the sheds, Mrs. Bntswnrlh, a daughter of David Scott, a servant girl of Mrs. Sarzedas’ and her child, , and a servant girl of Mrs. Bolsfnrd, were crushed and killed. “ 1 have never witnessed any thing so dreadful ; it would occupy a volume to give you a foil account of our calamity. There is scarce ly a house in Georgetown until jnred.” GEORGETOWN , SEPT. 30. | Our town looks desolate indeed ; ! the wind seems to have spent its greatest fury here,—The Bank i nearly unroofed, part gone, and scarce any house in town «ithout much damage. The neighboring Plantations have all lost their ctops, barns, and many negroes. Hoggins has lost 34 negroes, Fords, Pinck ney. Alstons, almost every planter Ins lost negroes. But North Inlet lias been mo-t grieviously visited.— Mr. Withers’ family, Dr. Myers’ fa mily, old Mrs. Botsford, and many that you do not know all swept away. Mr. W,tilers was picked up alive on DubourJies shore, and is able to tell the melancholy tale of his suffer ings—He states that his house I crumbled to pieces Ijjie an egg shell, and he knew nothing more un til be found himself floating and hold ing on upon a piece of lumber—he , saw a negro at the other end of it, and spoke to him, when his little boy MacQaeeii, hearing Ids voice, cried out, Father, 1 am here—bold on Father, and trust in God ; he w ill take us to shore. Mr. W. asked him if lie could bold on; be replied oh yes, I am strong as ever. At that instant, a raft of timber was dashed against them, and the child was seen no more.— Immediately after, the negro said, thank God I touch bottom.— Lieut. Lew, of the navy was on the shore and heard their cries ; lie plunged in and man fully rescued them. Mr. W. does j not know whether his family were j i rushed to death, or drowned—he i thinks, from the length of time lie was upon the water, he must have gone out to sea, and been brought j hack by the Hood tide.—The body I of Mrs Myers was found on Wac camaw beach.— Poor Withers Shackleford has gone with her. At the South end of the island, seve ral houses and out houses were cither blown down, or much injured —but no lives were lost.” From Dubovrdieus. —l arn re quested to apprise you of the ra larnitious visitation that has be/idlen Dr. Myers’ family. It has pleased God in his inscrntihle decrees to sweep from a numerous remnant of afflicted relatives, the entire family of Dr. Levi Myt rs. The house in which they liveil was wrecked, floated away and himself and fourteen others became the victims of the irresistable storm one only saved, his fellow March. No better man ever lived, and I need not speak to you how amiable were the members of his fimily. The loss of lives at North Inlet has been distressingly awful— ■ whole families crushed in the ge- , neral ntin. The family of Mr. Solomon Cohen, are, thank God, i spared, all bough his house was le- ! veiled to tfc) g ground. They are in- ' debted to the exertions of Lieut, i Levy, who fortunately was there on , i visit, for ithe.preservation of their | lives. i s| ~ U SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1822. b Election Returns. ti STATE LEGISLATURE.

J The oppnsers of the early chris- i tiuns, vainly imagined that they i would sooner renounce their faith, than submit to tiie inflictions which the genius of persecution could de- , vise. All the instruments of vin dictive cruelty were, therefore, as sembled, and the w hole apparatus of a bloody oideal was exhibited for the dismay of those who should become i the followers of Christ. Prisons, scourges, racks, and tortures, in , dreadful accumulation were planted in all (lie paths of piety to shew the pilgrim what reception he was to 1 expect at the hands ofthe world.— ' Tiie wilds of Africa were traversed in quest of wild beasts, noted for their ferocity, and the helpless dis ciple of Jesus was exposed to the 1 relen less fury of their appetites and the laceration of their fangs.— But all this did not for a moment im- I pede the march of the Saviors reli ”ion. His followers ran to prisons, ( flames, and tortures with more ea- ( gerness than we should have in pro- ( secuting the course of some pleasant ( d-ity. The discipline by which they , had been formed to noble and dis- \ interested deeds bad anticipated all j the purposes and baffled the rage ( of their adversaries. j In proof of this, we have only to < consult the records of early times, j and how must we he affected by the | noble, eloquent, and pious address > of Turtullian to the Martyrs ! Says ( he, to those in prison, “ Let not this confound you, that you are se- < parated from tjte world. For if you I can reflect, you will perceive that ( the world itself is the prison, and 1 that you have rather come out than I entered into confinement. Th« , world possesses a more intense ( darkness which binds the hearts of [ men. The world binds on (hose t more grievous fetters which de- t prive of liberty even the souls of t men. It breathes a more baneful im- ( purity, the lusts of men. Finally, t the world contains a much greater a number of criminals—even the t whole human race of men, who are 3 the guilty expectants of a judgment, ( not of the Pro-consul, but of God. e Wherefore, you are the objects of v a special benediction, if you can on ly think yourselves transferred from n a prison to a refuge. It has dark- 11 ness, but you are light; it has 11 chains, hut you are free to God.— * There is a loathesome stench, but t you are an odor of sweetness.”*— v '■— r *Nec hoc to? consternct, quod segregati estit a mundo.

And such bad ieen the spirit oftht pious from the jarlicst times. Tjiey had been :aught to regard the world as a phantom, and life as an exploding meteor —to account afflictions a joy and privations a privilege. Among those conspicuous for this exalted spirit, Moses holds a distinguished rank. The events of his life, to gether with the Apostolic commen tary upon the character of bis piety, are beautifully touched by Dr. Kol lock. ‘ All the circumstances in which Mo ses was placed, when he formed this reso lution, display the greatness and generosi ty of his soul. Nothing but his own con sent was wanting to elevate him to the highest offices of the empire. Already adopted by the daughter of I'haroah, his right to them was undisputed, lie was not, then, one of those ambitious men, who despairing to obtain those honor* for which they secretly sigh, effect to speak with contempt, and pretend to des pise them. He was not unacquainted with the objects which he renounced. It was not a blind and ignorant resolution; or ho had been surrounded by grandeur, opulence and pleasure. And how diffi cult is it to renounce these after having partaken of thorn ! How few, who like Moses, can preserve themselves from be ing seduced by them ! i low few can like him are willing at the call of duly coolly to reject them ! Mpsea was forty years old when he formed this resolution. He was not an old mas disgusted with the world because he could no longer retain it, and rejecting pleasures because he could no longer enjoy them. He was not an impetuous, and inconsistent young man, drawn away by caprice, by inex perience, by the fire of imagination ; and renouncing those things, of the value . f which he was ignorant. Hut he was in the full vigor of body and mind ; of an age when tlie judgment is formed, and we act with coolness and deliberation; at a period oflife when ambition and the lose of the sjjorhl, have the greatest influence upon the heart.”—Vol. Ser, 18th. The following hurst us unaffected piety and elevation of thought may afford a specimen of Dr. Kollock’s best and happiest manner ; “ Moses chose the worst condition of the pious before the happiest situation of the worldling. Os the propriety of his choice he was con voiced while he lived ; bnt how much mors plainly does he now see its wisdom—now that from his throne in the Heavens he has seen that of Egypt crumbled into dust—now that drinking of the river of pleasure which flows at God’s right hand, he tees the source of earthly joys dried up—now that he en joys durable riches in (hat world when the coffers of I‘haroah are regarded as dross.”—p. 227, Ist vol. Tiie figure of Rhetoric turned A postrophe is often introduced with great effect and managed with much boldness by our excellent author. We select one example of this from the 20th Sermon, where the preach er alludes to Pharoah’s ignorance of God. “ Ves Pharaoh ! thou knowest him not, or thou wouldst shudder to treat him with scorn and insolent disregard. Hadst thou proper conceptions of (hat greatness and majesty which shall so soon be manifested to thee and thy peo ple, thou wouldst tremble. Yes sinners, who imitate Pharaoh, the language of whose conducts is “ who is the Lord that we. should obey him”? Ye know him not, for if ye were acquainted either with his awful terrors, or amazing love, ye could no longer contend with him, and with impious folly defy him, but would humbly bend and adore,” P. 214. In the life which now is, we oc cupy an important relation to two classes of mankind—friends and en emies. To the former we look for. all those satisfactions which nature seeks for her relief amid troubles, and for her encouragement amid im pending disasters. Their kind assi duities impart a lenitive to affliction, and the smile oftheir welcome sheds over life an exhilirating charm.— But how often is it that we forget that they are mortal, and that the grave claims its revenue out of the treasures of the dearest friendship. We are apt to imagine that the mu sic of (heir voice will never be hushed, and that the radiance of their eye will never he quenched. When therefore, like birds released from the cage, they spread their wings for flight, and idl the beauties of their plumage which we had not previously discovered, are suddenly unfolded to our view, we follow them with impassioned regrets and unavailing lamentations. Our ene mies too, are often thought imtnor tal. We conceive that a deathless animosity will govern their conduct towards us, and that their vindictive spirit must drink up all onr bliss.— On this subject Dr. Dollock has evinced his usual felicity in obser vation and expression. “ Lei the consideration that our friends must die cause us to sanctify the bonds of blood and affection, and form our attach ments so that they may be renewed be yond the grave. Let the recollection that oar enemies must die save us from those revilings, censures, hatreds of which we shall repent when they are no more.” P. 335. Vol. 1. FIDES.

I Since Mr. George M’Duffie* his impertinence, has provoked I* expression of my opinion concert! ing hims he shall have it in til roundest terms— I consider him il every respect a paltry fellow. Thl statements contained in his last put! licatiou would be of little coast! quence if admitted to be correct | bnt so far as my knowledge extend! they are either entirely untrue, ol coloured into folsehood. It is le! necessary to notice them farther! as latterly his reputation for veral city causes a reasonable presumpl tion against whatever he says. I will advert only to his account ol drawing for station and word, whicH 1 believe contains more truth tha! the rest. Not being present nhel the change of tickets was proposed! Col. Gumming related the occur! . rence to me soon after we left tin ground. His report coincided wilt! that of Mr. M’Duffie in the princil pel circumstance ; but he adde! that the surgeon as well as the sel condos the opposite party declarl ed a change superfluous; and tha! he himself indignant at the vilenesJ of bis antagonist, insisted on the! alteration. Concede that Mr. M'-I Duffie’s story is precisely true—c:m| he expect that it will serve as J proof of spirit ? Surely he roust! have wanted not only honorable! feeling, but common sense, wheal he .boasted of a little knave-lika suspicion worthy of the habitual craft of an electioneering lawyer, and acknowledged a solicitude for his own safety, which even his friend considered unnecessary. Having at length been compelled to do justice to himself, in spite of his natural modesty, the reluctant confession is torn from him ; that his great disadvantage in fighting was his excessive bravery ! Cer tainly a novel inconvenience for a combatant to complain of, and the very last under ivhitjh I shoulde ver have suspected that gentleman to labour. While he indulged “ a speculative curiosily'*to learn whe ther he wag frightened or not, I who stood near him, had solved my doubts on the subject in it less me taphysical mode, by a survey of hi? person.
