TO READERS.
Want of room obliges us to defer again, to our
next, the continuation of our reply to the letter of
“J. H.” in our last, on the subject of slavery, to
gether with much other matter, original and se
lected.
THE FRENCH NEWS.
An extract from the Boston Atlas, in anothe r
column, contains news from France, via Liver
pool, and St. Andrews, N. 8., stating that the
French Chambers had adjourned without making
an appropriation for the payment of our claims.
Os which, the Boston Courier says : “As pur pre
vious accounts frem England were only to March
24, people were rather excited on change, and
speculations were for a moment suspended, but
as people began to look at the matter, it was all
considered a hoax, and every thing went on as
before.”
THE HAMBURG DINNER,Ac.
The excellent Volunteer Company of “ Rich
mond Blues” having requested of our enterpri
sing neighbor, Mr. Shultz, permission to shoot
for a Medal, in his beautiful grove at the foot of
the hill, on Monday last, the Anniversary of the
Corps, that gentleman, with his usual unparrnllel
cd hospitality and public spirit, took occasion to
Iwelcome them with a very elegant and sumptuous
entertainment, which was attended, also, by a
urge number of invited guests. The grove is one
of the most beautifully retired, rural, and romantic
spots that the imagination can well conceive—
undulating in every pleasing variety of form and
shape, thickly shaded by the rich and varied foli
age, and tastefully laid oft' in numerous gravel
walks, (lights of steps, terraces, &c. &c.; and en
closing a fine, cool, clear spring, covered over, and
expensively improved—the whole forming one ol
the most delightful summer retreats wo ever wit
nessed, scarcely excepting even the renowned
Hoboken and Elysian fields—and striking with
astonishment all who had not witnessed it be
fore—many declaring to us that they had no
idea there was so fascinating a place within so
short a distance of our city, and forming so de
sirable and gratifying a summer retreat to its in
habitant*.—And, high above, is the impressive
embankment, fosse, plain, Ac. of Fort Indepen
dence, extending along the brow of the hill for
nearly half a mile, ftom one road to the other,
with a fine gravel walk along the edge, afford
ing one of the very finest landscape views in the
country —extending over Hamburg, the broad and
beautiful Savannah, and its magnificent Bridge,
Wharves, Shifts, &c.—Augusta, with its regu
lar rows of buildings, interspersed throughout
with trees, and spires, and domes, looking like
garden city of a fairy tale—the wide, grassy plain,
beyond, with its encircling hills and groves—
thejdeep, undulating forests, (hr, far below—and
above, the beautiful mountain-like eminence of
Summerville, with its fine country seats and vil
i
lage houses peeping through the trees, and the
U. S. Arsenal on its very top, surmounted by the
star-spangled banner, fitfully sporting in the
breeze. Take it altogether, a lovelier or more
picturesque and enchanting scene the eye scarce
over rested on—spread out before you, and mostl
far below you, like a map, so that you take in
almost the whole of it at a single glance—and
wo wonder that it has never yet been transferred
to the canvass by some admiring artist. By the
bye, would it not suitable and most praisewor
thy &gratitying manifestation of public spirit, in
our citizens, to got up a subscription, for the em
ployment of a first rate artist, on a work so well
calculated to do honor to their taste, and at the
same time advance the improvement and pros
perity of the city, by thus spreading abroad a
mong strangers, a pictorial view of its peculiar
beauties and attractions.
The Richmond Blues —a company unsurpas
sed in beauty, respectability, or discipline, by any
one ever formed in our city—under their very able
and soldier-like commander, Capt. Robertson,
marched across the Bridge at 10 o’clock, and
were met on the other end of it by Mr. Shultz’s
fine Band of Music, and saluted, as they touched
the Carolina shore, by the roar of artillery, from
the ramparts above the spring. The number of
members present was about 35 or 00, and tho con
test for the Gold Medal was determined (each fir
ing three shots at the target,}in favor of Sergt. T. J
BnowN, who made the best average three shots
The second best three, were made by Private M. P.
Stovall, and the third, hy Private D. Morrison.
The Medal was presented to Sergt. Brown by
Capt. Robertson, in presence ofthe spectators, & ,
the company under arras, accompanied by a neat
and appropriate address. And, at,3 o’clock, on
the firing of a cannon from the heights, the nu
merous company, consisting of several hundreds,
sat down to a splendid dinner, beautifully spread
out on three long table*, which were completely
covered with an endless variety of meats, pastry,
confectionary, fruits, wines, and indeed all the
choicest delicacies that the season or markets could
afford. The dinner passed with the greatest or
der and good feeling, and was attended hy ma
ny ladies, who sat down to a separate table pre
pared for them; and among the numerous toasts
drank on tho occasion, were the following, which
i are all we have bean able to obtain, as no regular
record of them was kept:
By Capt. Robertson, (in behalf ofthe corps.)
7'he enterprising and hospitable Founder of
Hamburg— May bis declining years be crown-*
cd with peace, prosperity, and happiness.—3
cheers.
By Lieut. Frazer. —The Governor of South
Carolina !
By Capt. Robertson, (in behalf of the corps.)
The Hon. John P. Kino —He has shewn that he
can ably talk for his country on the floor of tho
' Senate chamber, ami his fearless patriotism as
! surcs us that he will as promptly fight for her, if
occasion should require it, in the ranks of the
Richmond Blues.
After the onthuisastic cheering had subsided,
Judge King rose and returned his thanks in a
brief feeling address. [He is a member of the
corps, and one of the most prompt, attentive, and
best disciplined members it possesses; and if they
who say so much about the declining state of our
militia, &c. would imitate his excellent example,
and act, Instead of talk, they would soon find less
cause for complaint or regret.
By a Guest — The Citizen-soldier —His coun
try’s ornament in peace, and its best bulwark in
war.
■ Given in behalf of the entire company.— Henri
SnutTZ—the Founder of Hamburg, the Wharf,
and the Bridge, and the groat promoter of our
trade and commerce—His life is written in im
perishable characters on the improvement and
prosperity of our country, and is alike an honor to
its institutions, and a noble stimulant to the virtuei
enterprizo, and industry of its citizens.
The company retired in the utmost harmony
and good feeling; and tho Richmond Blues
marched back, through the town of Hamburg, and
up Broad-street, Augusta, in the finest order.
SAV. GEORGIAN-CORRECTION.
In our paper of Wednesday last, we con
trasted the remarks of the Columbus Sentinel,
inculcating the belief that the Baltimore Con
vention was not a mere Van Buren affair, gotten
up expressly to nominate him, with a sentence
we had seen attributed to the Savannah Geor
gian, and which will be found quoted in the fol
lowing reply of that paper:
“The Augusta Chronicle. —In unfolding the
Aagusta Chronicle of Wednesday last, we read
with some surprise, an article which wo extract
entire from that Paper. Our surprise was elici
ted by having the following query put upon us.
“ Why did Judge White accept the nomination,
when he knew perfectly well that Mr. Van Buren
. would be selected as the candidate ofthe Balti
more Convention I”—'We read this (though in a
hurry to take up other papers) more than once to
try and bring to our recollection, whether or not
we penned it. Our momentary uncertainty arose
fram a consciousness of the haste, with which
many a remark has to be penned for the Daily
p tcs3 —but that uncertainty was soon dispelled
! by a certainty on our mind, that we never made,
what the Chronicle calls “ the plain and palpa
ble admission of the “ Georgian.”—Before noli
' cing it, however, we wished to be satisfied, whose
language it was, and, on reference to our files, we
, find that on tho first of April last, “ A.Mechak
ic,” ono of our Correspondents, used language,
somewhat similar, though even his language is
(we suppose, accidentally ,) somewhat preverteo.
A Mechanic wrote us follows:
i “Why does not Judge White follow theexam-
I pie of T. H. Benton in not receiving a nomina
tion 1 Why accept of the nomination, whon he
1 knew perfectly well that Mr. Van Buren would
■ be selected as the Democratic candidate by the
t Baltimore Convention Now the Chronicle
. will readily perceive that our Correspondent
meant by his language that Van Buren
’ would be selected as the People’s candidate (“ the
■ Democratic candidate) “ by the Baltimore Con
l vention,” a delegation from ' that People,—not
f simply “ as the candidate of the Baltimore con
vention,” —which the readers of tho Chronicle
might understand, for aught we know, to be, an
c irresponsible cabal, —or, as some of tho opponent
0 to that convention have chosen to designate it
(we write from memory) “ a packed jury of of
e lice holders.” Such will not, in our opinion, hr
e the fact. The people already see the necessity
e of uniting on one candidate, &c. Ac.
Wo will conclude by stating that, although thi
article from the Chronicle surprised us, we can
1 not believe, that a paper we have some time ad
1 mired for its candour and fair dealing, would hav<
I intentionally put upon ui, as our Editorial lan
3 ffttage. what was so palpably the language of I
Correspondent.—For fear of being considered, ai
a volunteer in the con troversy between the Sen
i tinel and the Chronicle, we will therefor* elm ten
. ourselves with showing that the Chronicle has
[ this time, been mistaken.”
j We have read this reply with groat mortifica
lion, since it shews that we have been made
the instrument of great injustice to the Georgian!
f such as wc trust we shall never be capable of do
ing intentionally, to anyone. Tho remark at
. tributed to it, was found by us in the following
, abide*, extracted from the U. S. Telegraph and
. Charleston Mercury; and, not doubling their cor
rectness, wo did not hesitate to quote it. It now
I remains for those papers to explain how they
, came thus to lead us into tilts mortifying error ;
and wo trust they will be more careful in future,
, | or we must be more careful how we quote from
[■ them:
From the U. S. Telegraph, of April 30.
“ New York Convention. —The late Van Bu
ron Convention, assembled at Albany to appoint
delegates to the Baltimore Convention, aftor a
vowing their decided preference, declare* with
an innocent simplicity that they are ready to
support any other candidate that may be nomi
i nated by tho Convention, c uch a declaration is
a mere mockery and insult to the people. That
|it is such, the following extracts horn two Van
Buren papers will show :
From the Savannah Georgian.
“ Why did Judge White accept the nomina
tion, when he knew perfectly well that Mr. Van
Buren would be selected as the candidate of the
Baltimore Convention.”
The Georgian is struck with apparent surprise.
It knows that it was all arranged at tho White
House,and in the Kitchen Cabinet, I 1 at Mr. Van
IJurcn should be the candidate; and he thus in
dignantly puts the question to the Judge,” &c.
The Democratic Herald of Philadelphia, an
open avowed friend of Van Buren says:
“It cannot be disguised that Mr. Van Buren
is already virtually nominated, and wants no
thing hut the forms of the Convention to place
him bes re the people— not as the Democratic
Candidate, but the Candidate of his own friends 1”
From the Charleston Mercury, April 25.
“ The Humbug Convention Exposed. —The
Savannah Georgian, a Van Buren paper asks,
r “why did Judge White accept the nomination
a when he knew perfectly well, that Mr. Van Bn
ren would bo selected as the candidate of the
Baltimore Convention.”
Alter this admission, We hope no decent Van
; Burcnilo will pretend that tho delegates to tho
Baltimore Convention are uncommitted 1”
We humbly beg pardon of the Georgian for
the great injustice we have unintentionally done
to it, and feel much indebted to it fur tho liberali
ty and forbearance it has maniitsted toward us'
JUDGE WHITE, &c.
The following letter from a respected friend,
and prominent member ofthe State Rights party,
who was one of the foremost and moat distinguish
ed advocates of Gov. Troup and his measures in
1825, 6, and 7, is richly deserving of the attention
of the State Rights party, and we earnestly recom
mend it to their consideration :
May Ist, 1835.
Mi Dear Sir :— I have meddled but little in
politics of late, and shall less in future, unless our
friends can be aroused to a proper sense of their
rights and duties. It seems to me that the State
Bights party ate operating to their own destruc
tion, in tho advocacy of White's pretensions to
he presidential chair. They are leaving them
selves no strong ground to stand upon; and gi
ving their opponents room to doubt the sincerity
of their professions, and the purity of their in
tentions. With what propriety can we recom
mend Mr. White to those who believe in the so
vereignty and independence of the States ? Is
he not a Proclamation man 1 Is he not a Force
Bill man If he is, then ho cannot be a State
Rights man —and therefore is not entitled to the
support of State Bights men. The conclusion
is inevitable,’and cannot be avoided.
It is not enough to say, that wo take Mr.
White as a choice of evils. A party, sound and
sincere in their principles, ought not bo driven to
the necessity of supporting and sustaining an
evil. The very object of our principles, is to a.
void tho evil, of having the government admin
istered by men who do not acknowledge and act
\fon, the great and substantial fundamental
truth, that the government of the United Stales
is Federal and not National, deriving all its
just powers from the sovereignty of the States,
and liable, at all times, to be stopped in a course
of palpable usurpation and misrule, and the exer
cise of powers not granted to it under the Con
titntion, by which it lives and breathes, through
and by the interposition of even a jingle Stale.
When a majority differ among themselves, and
arc running their own men against each other,
then indeed it is fair game, for the minority to
choose between the evils that are presented to,
and forced upon them. It is then purchasing
for their principles all the advantages, which thoit
support can gain from their opponents, by the ef
fectual force, which, being brought to the side
of the weaker, may secure his success. In
that case the minority make a friend of one,
where both would otherwise have been inimical.
But it is not so where the minority seize upon
one of their opponents’ champions, and make
• him <A«'r own. Under such circumrtances they
' must ask and expect him to be a traitor to his
| own principles, and party—or, they must seU
• their principles, to a certain extent, barely for the
s gate of disappointing their opponents in the suc
-1 cess of their favorite candidate.
' A patriotic party, secure in the rectitude of
■ their own principles, should not attempt to gain
1 partial and temporary success, by such manage
‘ rnont— by such policy, through vindictive mo
“ ti ves- They should take higher ground; and
■■ini mmmmmmwm
ts acting upon the broad basis of the principles
‘J.’ which they have proclaimed to the world, rise or
w fall, in an entire devotion to them, unadulterated
ly by any admixture of the leaven of their oppo
nents’ prejudices, either as to men or things.
16 If wo are not strong enough to make a bresi
n» , c 1
dent ot our own, let us not sacrifice every thing
it to the object of president-making. Let us raili
n' or wait until tho virtue ol tho people (if any yet
8 remains tp them) shall recognize and admit that
v which reason and right, cannot always refuse—
at that the State Rights people srs in foot advoca
s, ting and sustaining the only true principles upon
which our government wa* instituted, and ought
u to be administered.
Ie In regard to the people of our own State, we
li have much to complain of. I would not be
thought presumptuous, but, as a citizen of the
■' State, I have a right to apeak, end it is my habit
8 to speak out, having nothing to ask or expect,
from any party ; and therefore having no interest
or desire to dissemble or cloak my feelings and
v opinions, for fear that it may be injurious to
? future prospects, I will always speak out, and
• plainly state my sentiments and opinions upon
this or any other subject.
1 The patriotic citizens of a sister State, by a
manly, decided, and righteous line of conduct,
. marching on steadily to tho object most intorost
l ingfo no, as well as ts themselves, have saved uss
■ from the all-devouring influence of the Tarill
J system of protection to northern capital and in
, dustry, at the expense of southern interests and
g affections; whilst wc faltered, hesitated, and even
t tually deserted the same principles and opinions
1 which we had long before proclaimed as those
which he had determined to sustain, at all risks
. and hazards—meanly shrinking from the contor t
i when it became serious and necessary. Whilst our
• brethren of Carolina, who breasted the storm, and
succeeded in the effort, are stigmatized and con
, teraned as traitors and disunionisls, we, although
i glorying in their conduct, have been afraid of the
• name of nullification, whilst advocating its prin
j ciples. For it is certain, that there are many a
mong us, who talk as nullilicrs, and yet deny that
i they are nullifters, a name sanctioned and sancti
■ lied by the authority of Jefferson, and which is a
J proud demomination for all who are not afraid to
> think and act for themselves. Vet many of these
arc in fact State Bights men, good and true—
j well, let it ha so—but let not th"se men support
, as their candidate, a in in who is neither a State
Bights man or a nut I.for. Such anomalous
B proceedings can ncvei succeed—they cast a doubt
upon the sincerity of our own professions,
r Ofthe old Clark party, we lihve nothing to aay
3 —they were federalists of thcold school—and they
continue to bo federalists of the new school
r They are true to their principles, and true to
' their practices. They go for the loaves and fish
es, and have been only outstripped in their course
hy tho Union Troup men, improperly so callcd >
by an intolerable misnomer. Tho Clark men
have been made subservient to all the hopes and
> wishes of tho Union Troup men; and if they arc
• satisfied, it is not for.us to complain, or object.
• They have ministered, it is true, to the aggran
-1 dizement of our deserters ; but this is their own
1 look out, and not ours—let it be so.
- Os tho Union Troup men, we have good
right to complain—we have reason for it but, in
the name of common sense, lot us not, for the
1 mere love of office, go and do likewise. Wo
r ought not to imitate their example, and support
r Mr. White, in order that wc may share somo
’ what in in the patronage of the government, in
' the general distribution of its offices and ho
nors.
What are the wo now to make of this mongrel
■ parly, formed by a strange conjunction of the
r most discordant elements—of the Clark men, and
■ discontented Troup men I—They arc nullifiers
■ too, of tho very worst and most violent stamp,
whenever it suits them to he so. Whenever In
dian rights are brought in question, they are rea
! dy to nullify—anxious to nullify—determined to
' nullify; but when their dearest interests are at
! stake, then it ia that they abhor nullification—de
test it—call it disunion—anarchy—anti-Jackson-
ism—any thing and every thing but what it rc
• ally is—the great conservative principle by which
i States and minorities are enabled to protect them
-1 selves, under the safeguards of their rights and
liberties provided by the Constitution, to that i
■ end, and for that purpose ; and not to sanction or
' permit all and eveiy abuse which may be perpetra
• ted by majorities, under its name, and by its au-
I thority.
i There arc sonic men, claiming to belong to us,
i whom wc have manfully supported and sustain
, ed, through good report and through bad report,
i who yet have not treated us well or kindly. In
■ deed Urey have done us much and manifest
• harm. I mean those Slate Bights men, who
i have yet decried our name and principles, nulli
fiors and nullification. They have thrown cold
water upon us, and have had the greater power
, to injure us, because they were in our camp—by
i our firesides—of the same family—claimed and
, looked upon by us as frisnds and companions.
• The old proverb of “ save us from our friends,
! and we will take care of our enemies,” is en
■ tircly applicable to our situation in regard to this
i class of politicians.
i We ought not, if I may be permitted to judge
, and advise, to interfere at all in the buaiueas of
. President-making. Lot those who have the power,
assume the responsibility. The people cannot^
1 always be misled and deceived and abused; and
r if they can—why then it must be so. We ought
i not to attempt to mend tilings, by making them
I worse—by lending our aid to fny thing like po
s litical management, or policy, as it is called.
■ Lot us nail our colors to the mast, and sink ot
swim in the political bark of State Bights and
f State Interposition.
i But, if wc must enter the arena of Presiden 1
■ making, why should we prefer Mr. White to
- Mr, Van Buren 1 Has the latter changed his
character and spots, since our members in
s Congress so lately hastened to the Baltimore
r | Convention to make luna Vice President, because
1 tho Senate of the United States had dared
- to reject his nomination as minister plenipo
tentiary to the Court of 81. James I—What e
• gregious and outrageous inconsistency! How can
j such conduct be justified 1
-1 No party, without principles, can succeed a
t: gainst bad principles. Wo must have soma rule
t of action that will sustain us, or we cannot sus
• tain ourselves long against tho power snd pa
- tronage of a corrupt and corrupting government,
i Lot us then adhere to principles, and not to man
t —and if we must fall, it will bo With tho conso
ling reflection, that we have done our duty, faith

THE FRENCH NEWS.
The New Courier and Enquirer, of 27th ult, in
speaking of the arrival of tho French Nows in that
city, say s :
“About the same time different letters were re
ceived in town from Halifax, dated the Uth and
12th instant, stating that the British brig of war
Munghad arrived therein 19 days, and brought
intelligence that tho French Chamber had Un
solved without making the appropriation, and
that Mr. Livingston had been ordered to quit
Paris. It is very evident that the arrival at St,
Andrews, and the arrival at Halifax arc tho same.
There cannot he two vessels ol tho extraordinary
name of‘Mung.’ It is probable, therefore that the
first news was received at Halifax, travelled from
thence to St. Andrews, and ftom St. Andrews to
Calais.”

PHRENOLOGY. ]
After Dr. Barber had concluded his last lec- j
turc on the •object of Phrenology, cm the even
ing of the 30th ult. the members of the Class were r
requested to remain ; and, on motion, Dr. Robert- s
son was called to the chair. c
The following resolution was then submitted by s
T. G. Casey, and unanimously adopted, viz :j t
Besolved, That a committee of nine be appoin* p
ted by the Chairman, (who shall be one,) to con- "
vcy to Dr. Barber the thanks of the Class for his f
able, eloquent, and interesting lectures on Phre- c
nology. “
In compliance with the above resolution, the t !
fo'lowing gentlemen were appointed on that Com- n
I mittce: T. G. Casey, Wm. C. Micou, 11. 11. t
Gumming, tho Hon. John P, King, Jamc* P. t:

The following card was presented hy the Com- p
miltee, through tho Chair, to Dr. Barber, bis re- v
ply to which ia subjoined. c
, To Dr. Jonathan Barber: s
Dear Sir— At the termination of your course t
■of lectures, on the subject of Phrenology, the un- o
' dersigned were appointed a Committee for the o
i purpose of expressing to you, the fording* of the h
Class on parting with you as a Teacher. p
The very able and scientific manner in which 'I
you have treated the subject, and tha clear apd n
striking illustrations with which tho varioua points g
of difficulty were elucidated, could not have foiled o
to oall’forth the admiration ofevery one who enjoy- «
ed the privilege of being a member of the class. ti
They must have been convinced of the impor- ,
tant bearing of the science, on the subjects of
mental and moral philosophy, and education, and
the cheering prospect which it holds forth in the f
treatment of the im-anc.—a class of individuals L- >
' j boring under disease*), too often neglected, simply
, ( because they are not steadily conteaiplateJ as at-
I foctiona of the brain.
\on must, also, permit us, sir, to express our
• J approbation of tne able manner in which you de
fended the science against the unfounded charge
of leading to the doctrines of Materialism and
Fatalism,—charges which have been used to
frighten mlmy from giving the subject oven a
moment’s reflection. To those who would con
demn Phrenology, without investigotingita claims
to their attention, wc can only say, in the lan
guage of a master spirit of the science, “ aeif-tx
' aminntion can alone produce lelf-convittiln.”
In conclusion, air, we cannot but congratulala
i the friends of the science that so able an advocate
has enrolled himself among the followers of Gall
and Spurzhcim,—one, whoso powers of illustra
■ tion and delivery cannot fail to give effect to a
, subject which appeals to the vast field of nature
for farts In support of the priuciples upon wliich
it is founded.
In these sentiments, we feel assured, that every
member of the Class participates.
Wo have the honor to remain, sir, with high
respect, your obedient servants,

Gentlemen :
I most respectfully acknowledge the re
ceipt of your kind communication, in bciialfof the
class, expressive of your approbation of the man
ner in which the subject of Phrenology has been
treated, in the course of lectures recently deli
vered in your city.
I am trulv pleased to find that the South, so
far as I h ive proceeded, lias welcomed tho ex
planation of my fi orita principles. That cu
rio is and active spirit of e-i juiry, abroad in your
country, together with (ho literal views insepar
able from fieo institutions, will ha gen the p •
riod when sound philosophy will he practically
applied in removing many mils under which so
iaty yet 1 ihs s, an I in establishing and perpe
•ti lting, by the universal duration of the moral
faculties, the reign of justice an 1 kindness a
mong men.
The encouraging and (lit'e-ing eipresrion of
you - approbation will ehaer me, in fu'urc efforts
to diffuse Phrenology, de fined, in my opinion,
to he-ome the huir of all moral and medial
science. I am. gentlemen, with great esteem,
Vour obliged a id oho limit s ervant,

H'iiiriblk Mvmiiek.—Wo have been Inform
ed by some gen'lemyn of tho first respectability,
1 1 reel from Texas, I hit Mr. El in of Ilia state of
Georgia, was murdered by Ins companion, a Mr.
dames Jenkins, on the (lolerado river in Austin’s
colony, on the 27th of March last, under circum
stances of the most shocking and aggravated na
ture. The deceased and hie- murderer, Jenkins, had
during tho last winter left Georgia in company,
with the view of visiting the province of Texas.
They had explored much of the country in com
pany. had made some selections and purchases of
land for their future residence. Ellin, the deems
cd, wishing to remain in Texas, gave to Jenkins
s power of attorney to go on to Georgia and
bring his negroes to Texas. A day or two before
his (Jenkins’s) departure, while alone with Ellin
in the woods, Jenkins murdered Ellin, took from
his peraon between Sisl)o and S2OOO, and has
in all probability forwarded forthwith to Georgia,
to lake possession of tho said negroes under the
form of the attorney, with the view of converting
them into caeh, and making his escape before any
intelligence of his horrible crime shall reach the
section or country in wliich the deceased reside 1.
Said murderer, James Jenkins, is about six feet
high, dark eyes and hair, and between 25 and 30
years of age. Tha civil authorities of Texas
havo used every exertion for his arrest without
avail. Editors throughout tho stale, friends hu
manity, are requested to give publicity to the
foregoing. Refer to Jas. Barnett, Jas. Collona

results of the fourth Monday, have settled the
question, as it relates to the character of the next
Legislature of Virginia. Enough is nlresdy
known to establish the fact, that in that body there
will be a strong Administration, and according to
present appearances, a decided Fan Muren ma
jority.—Hichmond Whig.
In consequence of the murders that have been
recently perpetrated in tho Creek Nation, and the
spirit of disaffection which seems to pervade that
community, our citizens havo felt some apprehen
sion as to the safety of our Town, and have adop
ted means, by organizing a nightly guard, for its
protection. A body of ten men, selected from the
“ Columbus Guards,” a volunteer company lately
formed in this place, alternately acts in this capa
city- This act of self-devotion on tho part of the
“ Guards” is highly commendable and praise wor
thy. Indeed, in any event, we consider a mu
nicipal arrangement, tending to organize and cus- ,
tain a Town Guard, well worthy the serious atten
tion of our corporate authorities.— Columbia Sen

Novel Rail Road, —It is stated in tho English .
papers that one part of tho London and Green
wich Rail Road will go ever three thoueand ur
chee i and it is intended to moke these arches to .
serve the purposes of cottages, and that they shall
be inhabited. This is censinly a novelty, and
one of an agreeable character, that carriages full
of passengers and goods will go over the tope of
human habitationi at great speed, with the most
perfect security and convenience to all parties.
To get clear of oil smoke arising out of these
residences of men and women, which will be a .
great anrfoyance on the fail road, tho apartments 1
or arches will be warmed by gaa stoves, which
will yield light and heat, and without impregna- ,
ling the atmuapbere with any noxious impurity.
