Mr. Jh'mitirU. —The astonishing per
formances of this gentleman have been
witnessed by numbers of the citizens of
Salisbury, w ith equal wonder and de
light. W hether as a gentleman, or as
one of unsurpassed skill in his profession
lie is equally entitled to our respect and
admiration.
From the Norfolk II- raid.
The performances of Mr. Duniilieu
gave great satisfaction, and his feats of
tiextc fiv were executed in a style rarely
equal and. He exhibits again to morrow
evening, and frutrf hts etlmitatiou of bis
peculiar talents, evinced last evenin'.,
we may expect there will be no diminu

From the Leesburg Virginian.
“ Tite perloinvr.nco of Mr. Duniilieu

ilar we have ever witnessed. The Au

astonishing piece of mechanism : and If
we were at all disposed to admit the in

We have seen many other notices of

to show the opinions enter! fined ul them

CHARGE of Judge STRONG, to the
Brand Jury of Bil/b County.
Mr, Foreman,
And Btvtier,an of the Brand Jury :
The example iA tlie learned and
good, for centuries pa ft, as well as the
positive requirements of the laws of the
State, make it my province to address
you on this occasion, in relation to the
powers you are called upon to exercise,
and the important duties you aie equir
ed to perform. In addition to those du
ties which ate of-a more general and ex
tended character, and easily understood,
1 am admonished by high authority to
refer to your especial consideration all
subjects of a local nature, together with
such matters as are immediately con
nected with our domestic happiness and
security. The subjects that particular
ly demand your attt nti m, and seem to
fall most properly within the limits of
your jurisdiction, will be concisely slated
to you. A 7 on are solicited by yotlr earn
est endeavors to allay as far as practi
cable all private animosities—to discour
age tlie spirit of party discord, to dis
countenance every act of idleness and
vice’ and denounce every indulgence of
immorality and licentiousness. 1 rejoice,
gentlemen, that I am not acquainted
with any recent breach of good morals,
or tite laws in this community, that de
serve to be considered as flagrant in its
character; and notwithstanding tlie
temporary political thuds which some
times occur amongst us, such is the gen
eral virtue and good sense of our citi
zens, they pass off’ unmarked by those
disturbances and crimes, that frequently
characterise them in other countries.—
That gross vices are sometimes cohm.it
ted in this community will not tie deni
ed, and to claim for it an absolute ex
emption from ciime would lie to suppose
a state of perfection, to which human
society rarely or never attains. To pre
vent a Fiolatiotf of the laws, as far as
your power to do so extends and to a
ward to every offence against them its
just and appropriate punishment, are
oaieof our most important duties, and
in the execution of which you will meet
the cheerlui co-operation of the court.
In order to discharge more effectually
tite purposes and obligations of your
appointment, it will he your duty to pie
sent to the Court alt offences against
Ihe laws, that the perpetrators may be
subjected to such penalties as may be
commensurate with the degree ot the
transgression. You may be perhaps
l etter enabled gentlemen, to <xn-nd
yo n aid to tlie Court in the prevention
of wrong, and the punishment of vio
lations of the same, I y a more detailed
ex | osiiion of your powers and duties,
and when that i- accomplished, you will
be left to act upon your own respotisi
! bility and discretion. This discretion,
it is obvious must be regulated bv a just
; sense of duly to the laws of tite land, by
1 tiie authority of which yo have just
| sealed your solemn obligations upon the
Holy Gospel of God. You are now or
ganized as the grand inquest oi this
county, and befoie your semtiny must
come in their incipient stages, every
criminal accusation which maybe in
stituted during the present term of this
court. From your body w ill also be oc
casionally formed special juries, to de
termine in the last lesoit ail appeal and
equity causes, that may be ready for
final trial. Under such circumstances,
gentlemen you should he deeply impress-
Iv w’itli the weight of your responsibili
ties, and well informed as to the nature
and extent of vour duties.
Acting as the grand inquest of your
County, it is your duty to examine af!
witnesses and other evidence that may
Le :ent betore you 111 suppoit ol tlie
charges contained in tlie various bills
which may be pieferred, and so to sift
the testimony that if possible, you arrive
at tlie truth, that pute and impartial jus
tice may be done ; remembering that
the character, the honor, tlie ignominy,
the guilt or innocence of the accused,
will in a most responsible ‘degree be in
vour hands. That tlie interest and wel
fare at tlie people of the State require
the exercise f energy w here the accu
sation is sustained by satisfactory proof:
tiiat in such cases it is your bounden
and sworn duty to return tlie charges as
true, that the accused (nay have a fur
ther and more public trial before the
Court and another Jury, as your find
ing is intended only to put the accused
individuals upon such ultimate trial at
Bar. The more ancient authorities held
it to be your duty if there wefe mere
probable cause shewn against the per
son or persons charged, to return the bill
as true. But more modern writers have,
considering tlie ignominy, tlie anxiety
of delay, the misery of imprisonment
and probable loss of character, taken a
more merciful view of the subject, and
that as the testimony submitted to yoftr
consideration, is exclusively on the part
of the Btaie, as far as it goes, it should
satisfy you of the guilt of the accused,
or in other words, you should from the
evidence believe tlie charges to be trnr
before you should so muni them to the
court. If alter strict ami impartial ex
amination, and due deliberation, you
determine tlie defendant to be wholly
guiltless, it is then by the penal code
of the State made your duty to enquire
further, whether tlie prosecution be ma
licious or wholly unfounded; and when
it so appears, to endorse such fact upon
the Bill, tiiat such prosecutor may be
stopped nt the threshold, and compelled
to pay fhei costs, to teach him and all
others, in like cases offending, that while
our courts nre ever ready to punish the
guilty, they arc equally prompt and wil-
Kn* <6 shield wul protective indocert;
and therehy a moral empy and confi
dence is given to the law sqieriur to ex
trinsic force, or a tbousaril terrors. Our
remarks have thus tar Lem cliurty con
fined to cases originating \>y indictment,
where your investigation! arc aided by
the vigilance of u prosec utor.
Sworn, diosejj ijid ns you J
are from the most inie'filAe.s ch ss- tiie
community; the law entrusts you wiih
still higher pow ers, and more delicate
and important duties, such asoiieu-rest
exclusively with yourselves. 1 mean
the power and duty of presentment,
which is defined to be “ a denunciation
of Jurors, of an offence inquimble into
in the com* where it is presented; or*it
is an information made by the Grand Ju
ry in a Court before a Judge who hath
authority to punish an offence.’’ But
more strictly or properly speaking, “ It
is tlie notice Jaketi by a Grand Jury ot
any offence from ilteir knowledge or
observation of the facts w ithout any bill
of indictment, and isregarded as Instruc
tions for an indictment, which the So
licitor General is hound to make out
and the party to ansvvr r. You perceive
therefore, tiiat by presentment you may
officially prosecute, any violater jf the
laws of your country, provided the of
fence he indictable,and committed with
in the jurisdictional limits of your coun
ty. Pouie juries are of opinion that
the duty of Grand Jurors to exercise tlie
power of presentment aoes not com
mence unit! they arc sworn; li such h<
the fact, this salutary power ot prosecu
tion is limited only to those offences
which occur during the sating of the
Court; and men t.f- prone to adopt
those opinions which reliev* s them from
responsibility and labor. But 1 .take a
pleasure, gentlemen in stating to you,
that m this respect, J concur in senti
ment with my predecessor. The origin,
organization, and history of Gland Ju
ries, and tlie very name by winch von
are designated on the criminal side of
the court (Grand Inquest) as well as im
memorial usage in this rtspcct, all
p*ove to my mind, that it is to your
body tiiat the Court ought to look let
the regular, impartial and disinterested
enforcement of the p<*nal code Imm time
to time ; and we have legislative con
struction and authority for such opinion.
For the ninth division ol the Penal
code, embracing offences against morali
ty, health and police, passed in J “17,
anil tlie act to prevent staves from sell
ing certain Commodities therein men
tioned, •• without permits,” passed in
1818. requires tiie Judges of the Fupe
rior Courts, at the commencement of
each couit, to give in charge the sub
stance ol these acts. Vv by these two
successive legislative requisitions, unless
it were to bring in aid your ext;; ordina
ry powers by presentment, for tiie en
forcement of the wholesome provisions
of those statutes ?
These were indeed nselesl drafts up- i
on your patience and the time of ihe j
conns; if you have only amhoiity to pre
suit such violations of law as occur
during your actual session, when the
wary and the lawless are on their guard,
aud 111 secret perpetrate their crir cs, or
ccrse only uni;! the court adjourn*, then
with renewed depravity to commence
their career of sin and _ lilt.
But, rerdlemeu, tiiat all doubt rrmy f t
removed, a ltd that my skirts may he
cleared, 1 remind you that yon have
just sworn, diligently to enquire and true
piesentment make ol all Midi r< uiieis
and things as shall Le g.vt'ii you j;i
charge touching the po v-m sen ice ; and
t more especially charge you that, al
though our weight may be as a ti atl.ei |
compared to (lie totality cl'tori- now
making to reform society, that it ,s uui
duty to cari in our mite, humble .sit
may be, by the presentment on your j
pail and the punishment 01 coi. .'iction
on mine, of ail those offences, vioiinve
in any flagrant degice of those laws en
acted to suppress vice and imm* rality ;
to protect the Sabbath from profanrdjbn
and pit-serve the morals ol the rising
generation, and as well to prevent gam
ing and trading with states, ns all
breaches of the public peace and tran
quility since the last teim of this Couit,
tiiat have 01 may come to your knbw
ledg>. You also have the right, and it
is your dffty to scrutinize tiie situatfon
and management ol your county Imids.,
and in the event of mismanagement or
defalcation in any of tiie public agents,
to uiake presentment thereof, tiiat the
offenders may be punished and the evil
corrected.
No county in the State is more inter
ested in having good public roads than
this; lor the prosperity cl the interest
ing and still rapidly rising commercial
town b( Macon, forming a huge portion
of the wealth of the county, depends
much upon the good or bad suite ot your
maiket roads. J udv he you, therefore,
to lake this subject into your serious
consideration, and should there be any
neglect of duty, specially to present the
individual defaulters.
The parties on the criminal side of
the court aie entitled to relief from
their anxiety; and those on the civil
side oi the Couit from thefr attendance
here and tiieir consequent expenses as
soon as possible. Li t us, therefore, gen
tlemen, be constant, vigilant aud unre

the business before us, and above ail,
let us be diligent, faithful and impartial,
taking special care tiiat all we do, as
one ot the main objects of the law. is to
preserve order, (hat it lie done upright

Mr. Made on' 4 Xntlt rs."-The*e pro
ductioiis have attracted a very large j
share of the public attention both on ac-
Cdttnt of interest, the public take just
now m ihe subject to which they relate,
and cn age omit of the importance tint
lias always keen conceded to the opin
ions of the w riter. The agency Mr. :
M. had in ihe formation of the federal
c .munition—the success with which bo
ac.mlbixtertd h for 8 years—tlie fame of
the celebrated V irginia Report on .Con

Idlers have Keen examined very freely

his a singular fact, that Mr. M. in
tliPrery commencement of his first let
ter, misquotes the Constitution,’ and
that many of his principal arguments
are founded on the supposition tiiat he
quotes it correctly. Mr. M. says that
by the Constitution, Congress has the
power “D regulate finite,”—Such is Mr.
IM’s quotation. Now the Constitution
containshosttchexpression. Tite words
of the Constitution are “Ihe Congress
shall have power to regulate commerce
with foreign nations, in and among the
several Stales,& wth tlie Inditin tribes.”
This grant of power is very different in
deed from that assumed by M. as being
contained in the Cdnstitulion, viz : to
regulate trade.” The word “trade” is
used by the Supreme Court, if our re
collection serves us, to designate the In
ternal traffic of any State—that business
which is carried on, within a State, be
tween citizens ot that State. Congress
has power to regulate, or interfere with
this. It is left to be regulated bv each
State. And the Supreme Court lias de
termined that this power belongs to the
States. How Mr. M. couid, in the very
outset of the discusstbn, have pontn it
ted such a blunder as this, is a matter of
astonishment. It heing evidently an
error of great importance, for it is a ra
dical one, vvliat becomes of the argu
ments that are founded on it?

arrived. They are all in ged health aud
spirits, and have not stifle red in any ic
icspeet since they left home. They arc
encamped on the west bank of the Ver
digrees wlicie they will remain unfii
the:; warriors explore the surrounding
country, to make selections of land to
make a permanent location. I t;tis|,
from the letters they will write back to
their old friends in tlie old nation, will
lie the me ins of inducing large numbers
to emigrate to this fine country. It cer
tainly is much better than the one they
left. Those -.ho wish to live in the
character of fanners, have the finest land
j to cultivate, and the beT ranges for
! sti'a ; arid tirose who wish to hunt,
! Lave iv.iv species of game that they
! might wish to procure. I can in three
. ite;. s. tir.d as many buffaloe as would
! ;up| !y all cur people—deer in abundance
|as well as all kinds of fowl. Why tl en
I do these whom we have left behind us
j sutler a few petty tyrants to trample
I| 4h them a sect, of staves. They
I say they at* he children of the forest,
and as free as air ; yet they dare not
I act in opositiou to those Indian despots.
But 1 hope tlie time is not far distant
when certain characters will be drawn
from,behind the curtain, who have insti
gated this line of conduct, and they will
receive tlie lust reward they are entitled
to for tiieir traitorous conduct towards
Government in opposing tjioir humane
views, and acting in opposition to tlie
true interests of the unfortunate Indian.
I urn happy tp hear of the kind lecep
tion my friend Col. Brearley received
lioin tlie citizens of Montgomery. He
certainly deserves every attention from
tlie citizens of Alabama as his zeal in
tiie cause of emigration is unbounded.”
On Friday the 16tli inst. three of our
citizens, Mr. Elisha Avery, Mr. Root,
Col. Ulysses la-wis, with eight negroes,
left Columbus for Appalachicola Bay
inaßatteau. They had descended the
river about 70 or 80 miles, when about
12 o’clock, 3t night the boat capsized,
by which unfortunate accident Mr. Ave
ry and four of the negroes were drown
ed. We understand that Mr. Avery
was a native of Conneticnt, and emi
grated to Augusta, a few years since,
where be resided until his removal to
Columbus, lie was engaged in the Mer
cantile business here, and was highly
respected by the citizens, who sincerely
lament bis uiißniely death.
