inv place, in the evening tl
l ime .lav, Colonel Johnson called
■ lIU | informed me that he hail
l'l “ with the President, who had
J d up a paper explanato.y of what
’ ...a intended and expected of us;
that sorlfe of hi. Tennessee Iriends had
JSt„ him fm several hours; hat
hi, p is,ion had subsided, and lie had
‘ntirelv changed his ground : He would
not insist on our families visiting Mrs.
Eaton • he only wished us to assist in
nullin'’ down the slandeis against her;
lut he believed her innocent, and lie
thought our families ought to do what
lliev could 10 sustain her, il they could
„ot visit her; and that he wished to see
mc the next day. Col. J. added that
t | le president had been exceedingly ex
ited lor several days, bm was now per-
L,|y calm and mild. The next day I
wailed on the President, and opened the
hjeetby staling that Col. Johnson had
informed me that lie wished to see me;
to which he assented, and went into a
l ol1 „ argument to show how innocent a
woman Mrs. Eaton was, and how mlicli
v |i C had been persecuted ; and mention
fd the names of a number of ladies who
l ad been active in this persecution, and
that the lady of a foreign minister was
# p o one of the conspirators; adding
that lie would send her and her husband
home, and teach him and his master
that the wife of a member of his cabl
et was not to be thus treated; that
Mrs. Eaton was as pure and chaste as
Mu- Donnelson’s infant daughter, but
there was a combination here among a
number of ladies, not those of the Heads
us Departments, to drive Iter out of so
ciety, and to drive Iter husband out of
office; but he lie cut into inch
pieces on the rack, before lie would suf
fer him or bis wife to be injured by their
vile calumnies; that be was resolved to
have hatmony in bis cabinet, and be
wished ns to join in putting down the
slanders against Mrs. Eaton. I observ
ed to the President, that I had never
considered it incumbent on me to in
vesti” ate the character of Mrs. Eaton;
melt a servicedid not, in my judgment,
mine within the scope of my duties to
lie government ; it belonged to society
to determine such matters. The
Mover of the Administration could lie
fer change the opinion of the cnnintu
litv, even if it could be properly used
o control the relations of domestic life
n any case. The society of Wushing-
Q n nut ,t he the best judges of whom it
light to receive. I regretted the iliffi
uhies which Major Eaton labored 111-
er, and felt it my duty not to aggravate
|,em. 1 had intended at an eaily day
i, have had a conversation with him on
lie subject, with a view to have our so
lid relation defined, hut no opportunity
ad offered, without volunteering with
ne, and it had not been done in tli.it
ray. The course I bad taken was,
lowever, adopted with “teat care, to
ave his feelings as much as possible,
onsi'tently with wliat was due to inv
amity, anil the community with which
re were associated. I considered the
barge of my family to be a sacred trust,
donning exclusively to myself, as a
number of society. The admirnstra
on had nothing to do w ith it, more than
liih that of any other individual, and
diiiical power could not be properly
xerted overtheir social intercourse, and
is impoitant to his reputation to
ne it understood that he did not inter
ne in sue.li matter*. That I was not
ware of any want of harmony in the
iliinet; 1 had not seen the. slightest
paptoih of such a feeling in its dclihc
mons, and I was perfectly certain that
it official conduct had never been in-
BiPiiccil in the slightest degree by a
Hr'in” of thjt nature. I saw no ground,
[ l! refore, for the leaM change on my
Hot in this respect. To which the Pres-
Beut replied, in a changer! tone, that
B had tiie most entire confidence in my
inegrit y and capacity in executing the
i *'i'"’ <d tin D’ fiaitment, and expressed
ffc perfect satisfaction, in that respect,
Bi’ mv whole conduct; he had never
Hpposed for a moment that mv official
B s had been influenced in the least de-
B'fi by any unkind feelings towards
■ ‘jar K iion; and he did not mean to
it ct on our families visiting Mrs. Ea
! ; lie had been much excited, for
Bine time past, by the combination a
js int her, and he wished us to aid him
<1 pitting down their slanders, adding
t* 1 site was excluded from most of the
in nations to parties ; and, when invit
#! she was insulted ; that the lady of a
i minister before referred to, had
H'li. I her at Baron Krndener’s party.
Hcniaiiitid, tit,it some injustice might
H'hac to that lady on that occasion;
she might not choose to asso
*i te with Mrs. Eaton, I did not think
intended to insult her, sin- might
supposed that there was some de
not altogether respectful to herself,
Hthe offer on the attendance to supper
| €dte Secretary of War, whose wife she
A not visit, instead of that of the Se
wury of State, which, according to the
[•'l'd practice she probably considered
entitled to. 1 was present, and
•t most of what tiad happened. JBl>c
■deiitly thought herself aggrieved at
■nething, but acted with much dignity
ol > the occasion. I saw no appearance
■nsult offered to Mrs. Eatnh. lie re-
Knil tliat he had been fully informed,
ai J knew all about it; and but for cer
t Ujn reasons which be mentioned, be
’’•uld have sent the foreign Minister be
referred to, and his wile, home ini-
BB'liatdy. After some further conver
••ton on this and other matters, in
**'wli I considered tlie President as huv
■%, entirely waived the demand made
•Wist visit Mrs. Eaton, as ilie condition
■ my remaining in office, and in which
■ expressed himself in terms of per
*®'l kindness towards me, I took my
hive. He did not show me, or read
t>V paper on the subject.
■ file Public will now, 1 think, be at
•i loss to determine upon tbu true state
lithe facts of this case. Mr. Ingham's
%y full statement is taken from notes
•fade at the time, and which were shown
*ime shortly after they were made. In
conversations with Mr. Itrancli,
jP r “'collections were found to concur,
•pte transaction was of a nature calcu
e'l <o awaken all my attention, and
■ impress itself indelibly upon my
1 claim no beoelit, therefore,
” any supposed imperfection of this
Hculty, and expect to be believed, be-
I speak the tiuili.
lln relation to the statement that the
•pet drawn up in the hand-writing of
the President was shown to me, the de
nial of which I most explicity repeat, if
charity is to perform her holy office in
reconciling these conflicting assertions,
it is much more easy to believe that the
memory r.f the President may have fail
ed on this occasion. He saw and con
versed with various persons on this sub
ject. and has to rely upon his memory
for the fact of having shown this paper
to different individuals. Each of those
individuals U required only to speak for
himself The nature of the transaction
was such that it could not have escaped
the recollection of either ofthem.
It was impossible if such a paper had
been shewn, not to have demanded, and
to have persevered in the demand to
have the names of the persons, on whose
information the requisition was made.
No one would have consented to have
the conditions on which lie should con
tinue in office prescribed to him, on the
ground of a combination, the evidence
of which rested on mere rumor. An
inquiry must have been the conse
quence, and the transaction could not
only not have been forgotten by the
parties, but would thus have become
known toothers. I would not myself
have retained my office for a moment
after such a paper was exhibited to me.
I will not question the intention of the
President to have shewn this paper to
me, nor bis belief that he did so; but
that he did not do so, is certain. Those
who know me will not doubt the sinceri
ty of this declaration, and an impartial
community will, I trust, perceive no
sufficient motive to be deduced, either
front my character, or the circumstan
ces of this transaction, for the belief of
intentional misrepresentation on my
part.
At any rate, I have discharged my
duty, by nearing ibis testimony to the
truth. I know to what it subjects me;
hut I rely upon the discernment and the
integrity of my country men, and w ill a
bide the result.
JOHN M. BERRIEN,
Washington, July 22, 1831.
In introducing the above communica
tion into the United States Telegraph,
of the 26th ult. Mr. Berrien says—•
I have now to state that, by the mail
of this morning, 1 received a letter from
Mr. Branch, dated the 20th instant, in
which he says,
‘ You can very well imagine my sur
prise, on reading the Colonel’s [John
son’s] letter, from wbat you yourself
experienced. My recollections of the
interview w ill most abundantly corrobo
rate all that you have said.’
’The London Gazette, of the 24th of
May, contains a notification that the
King has been pleased to grant to Fred
erick Filzclarence, Esq. a colonel in
the army 1 to Adolphus Filzclarence,
Esq. a captain in the navy ; and to the
Rev. Augustus Filzclarence, respective
ly the title and precedence of the young
er son of a marquis of the United king
dom of Great Britain and Ireland; and
also has been pleased to grant to Sophia,
wife of Sir Phillip Sidney ; to Mary,
wileofChas. Richard Fox, a lieuten
ant-colonel in the army; and to Augus
ta, widow of the Hon. John Kennedy
Erskine, respectively, the title and pre
cedence of tiie daughter of a marquis ol
j the said United Kingdom.
These are all illegitimate children of
the King by Mrs Jordan. The eldest
son was created Eill of Munster. This
measure of the King is said to have
caused much excitement among the le
gitimate noblesse of England.
A Fairy Land, or new El Dorado. —
The streams in the Huron country, says
the Rochester Advertiser, glide over
pebbles of'cornelian, topaz, jasper, a
gatc, opal and (ptnrkg and are as pure
.is crystal. They are cool enough for
drinking in the hottest day in August.
The great lead-mines are in the south
ern part of this district. They have
been wrought but three years, by com
paratively few persons, and tinder every
possible disadvantage ; yet nearly thirty
million pounds of lead have been made
there. Only about a mile siptare of
surface has yet been opened, and from
tnis thirty million pounds more might
be extracted without opening anew
mine. The whole of the lead district
occupies a surface one hundred miles
square, including, however, a dittrict of
copper ore about twenty miles long,and
four or live broad. The climate is fine
and pure, and the soil of the prairies is
adm;table for grain. Among the curi
osities is a sort of vegetable compass,
the ‘ roin weed,’ from the position of
whose leaves it it said that tl a north
and south points can be ascertained.
Sentence of Smith ts Murray.—Ed
ward Smith and William J. Murray,
convicted of Grand Larceny in stealing
about two hundred and forty -eight thou
sand dollars from the vault of the City
Bank, on or about the 20th o( March
last, were this morning adjudged by the
Kecorder to be imprisoned in tlte State
Prison at Sine-Sing at hard labour, for
the term of five yeart. This is the ut
most extent'of the penalty for Grand
Larcenv, under the Revised Statutes of
this State. It must be apparent to eve
ry observer, that the degree of punish
ment is not all proportioned to the mag
nitude and enormity of tlte offence.
Statue of Washington. —A foreign
Artist, now in N. York, named Hughes,
has addressed a letter to one of our citi
zens, in which, lie offers his services to
the State for the purpose of repairing
the injury sustained by the Statue in the
recent fire. Mr. Hughes says, whatever
may be the condition of it. it can be re
stored, as those parts entirely destroyed
can be carved and united so as to ren
der the joints imperceptible. The ex

The Artist adds, that he will consider
his visit to his country most fortunate

to the world, the Statue of our immor

MACON,

VVe are authorised to announce
the following ticket, for State Legisla
ture, from Bibb county :
FOR SENATE

FOR REPRESENTATIVE
TARPLEY HOLT.
Tire Superior Court for thin county, in
now in session. As there is much busi
ness on the docket, it will be impossible
to dispose of it in the time allotted for the

be an adjourned Court on the iillh .Mon

We ofler no npology to our readers for
filling the larger portion of our paper with
the address of Air. Berrien to the public,
nnil its accompanying documents. To
those who have not read them, we could
ofler nothing more interesting; and to
those who have, we can only say that the
majority of our renders have not been so
fortunate. There is still some mystery
in this business, which requires clearing
up, and we shall anxiously wail for a
further developement from the President
or Col. Johnson. That the facts are, or
rather were as Mr. Berrien represents
them, we can have no question; his
character is a sufficient warranty tor the
truth of bis statements. The testimony
of the virulent, disappointed Ex-Secreta
ry of the Treasury, was not required to
confirm the statements of the Ex-Attor
ney General, But granting’ it all, the
euse is not made out—these domestic
broils and infringements of etiquette, took
place, it seems, eighteen months since.
We cannot suppose that the gentlemen
composing the former cabinet, be they
ever so tenacious of office, would have
submitted to such servility for that length
of lime. According to Mr. Berrien's
statement, there, was a feeling of hostili
ty towards one of the Cabinet (Maj. Ea
ton) from its inception. In the counter
statements that arc given, there is a mis
take in the gender. The President and
Col. Johnson saying there was a conspi
racy against Maj. Eaton, while the other
side say, that their hostilities were direct
ed to Airs. Eaton.
The Census of the Town of Macon

the number would have been considera

Fortune’s Favors. —At the frenl drawing
of the Milledgeville Masonic Hall Lotte
ry, on Saturday last, it was our fortune to
ascertain that one half the Capital Prize
of 30,000 Dollars, was disposed of at the
Lottery Office attached to this establish
ment.* It was purchased by Mr. Antho
ny Cozart, a p'auiter of Monroe county,
about seven months since, for two young
females by the name of Sultana and
Cynthia Brewer. The fortunate holders
are the daughters of u widow, in indi
gent circumstances, who has three other
children, all dependent, principally on
their personal industry for a support.—
By this, they procured the means lor the
purchase that has made them such an
ample return. They are relatives of Mr.
C. and reside on his plantation. He has
been a truly lucky purchaser of Tickets.
A tew years since, a Prize of Ten thou
sand Dollars fell to his lot in the Augusta
Lottery.
The other half of the Capital Prize was
unsold, and drawn by the Lottery.
* Mr. Slade says in his paper of Tues
day last, that he “thinks” he disposed ol
this Ticket. The Ag ent would inform
him, that if he will refer to the Lottery
book, he Will [be led to think different —
and more Correctly.
In the Athenian of the 2d inst. vve have
met with the following circular to the
people ol'Georgia, from Mr. T/tos. Haynes.
Were it not tor the remark of the editors
of that paper, we should at once question
its authenticity—knowing, that as one
Dromio exists, possibly lliej-e may be two.
A strange incongruity nppeurs to exist
with regard to Circulars. One or two
others have been before the people on au
thority of’the same signature, that have not
before been contradicted or discredited—
yet the present writer says “ lie lias ne
ver belore addressed a circular to the peo
ple of Georgia.” We couple this letter
with the other inerplieahles relative to
that now ex-candidate tor Governor.—
His f.luvatiom and ntci.ut have been
equally mysterious. The former exhi
biting an over-burthen of impudence and
assurance—tlte latter, a rare degree ol
j irmtenre nnd even humility, seldom cou
pled in the same character with the other
qualities tliut have been exhibited.—
Should this prove a counter-part of Thos.
Haynes of Hancock, he may safely cal
culate niter the election, on losing bis
ears, tor Ibrgery committed upon that
candidate tor the honorable office of Go
vernor. That gentleman having decreed
the destruction of the Penitentiary, Jind
Penitentiary punishment, (sure as his
name is Huyncs) ears must go next of
course. Again, if there are two Thomas
Haynes’, we certainly most admire the
foresiirht and prudence of Haynes ol Hall
county.
From the Athenian.
Should any of om readers be disposed
I to question the authenticity of this Ci
r cular— we can assure them, from our
personal knowledge and acquaintance
with Mr. Haynes, of his sincerity. We
cannot therefore withhold from him the
right of correcting any wrong impression
which may prevail in relation to himself.
TO TIIK PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.
Whereas information lias reached tne
through an undoubted channel, that ma
ny of the good people of this State, and
particularly in the Northern pait where
my acquaintance is most extensive, be
lieve that lam now a candidate for
(Jovernor, at the ensiling election, and
test many careless observers should here
after inquire my reasons for the immedi
ate survey and occupancy ol the Chero
kee lands.—And lest they should also
seek to know my reasons for wishing to
abolish the Penitentiary system ; I have
thought proper in order to stifle, and
completely silence all idle inquiries so
far as regards myself, in this public
manner, to declare most positively and
unequivocally, that I am no candidate
1 for the Executive Chair of Georgia
1 nor did my vanity in its most towering
flights, ever suggest such an idea. As
’ regards the policy of surveying, and im
mediately occupying the Cherokes
lands, I most unreservedly state, that 1
have formed no specific or satisfactory
opinion. In relation to the Penitentia
ry system, I am equally undecided,
whether its continuance or abolition,
would most piomole the public good. I
will further add, except this, I never
have addressed a circular to the people
of Georgia ; and being fond of retire
ment, never may again, unless as in the
present instance hv way of self-defence.

Gainesville, July 29, 1831.
We were favored bv yesterday's mail
with a letter from New-Orleans of the
Ist inst. in which we find that an im

a 1 square room under ground’ would be
a bad place to keep cartridges; and that
his eleven thousand stand of fire arms
would be in bad older for use. He
might also, upon reflect,on, been led to

COMMUNICATED.
Messrs. Editors —It was hoped that
such was the high character of the
Troup or republican candidates for ta
lents, virtue and patriotism, and such the
respectable private character of the
Clark candidates, that the Coming can
vass of Bibb, would have been conduct
ed with that decency and regard for
truth, which the importance of the oc
casion, and a due respect for the people
of the county requires. But it is whis
pered that one of the candidates and a
Certain file-leader, are making private
appeals to the individual citizens of
Bibb, begging them to vote for such
candidates only, as will be willing in
struments to promote them to certain
offices. And to effect their purpose,
they insinuate that the opposing can
didates are millitiers, knowing such im
putations to be Jalse. It is believed,
yea, it is known, that not one of the
candidates in the county are nullifiers.
Doctor Baber is a. notoriously opposed
to that doctrine as any man in the Uni
ted States. We wish no strife; but if
truth and justice should require an ex
posure of the low machinations alluded
to, names will be mentioned, facts stated,
the falsehood will lie exposed, and the
actors in these pitiful tricks upon the
people, wi'l be placed upon their indi
vidual responsibilities. VVe want peace
and fairness—if it cannot be had, the
responsibility must, and the people are
determined it shall fall upon the exci
ters. When the Union was in peril du
ring the last wai, our patriotic Troup
candidates were in the army, in defence
of their country. If the insinuations
mentioned, are pressed farther, w e shall
put a few, plain, direct questions to
these disturbers of the public tranquili
ty, which will be as unpleasant as they
will be necessary. Hands off—let the
people alone, and they will elect those
whom they know have and will serve
them ably and faithfully. VOTER.

THE GEORGIA GOLD MINES.
Extract of a Utter from a Gentleman
who has recently visited the Gold Mines
of Georgia, to liis friend in Connecti
cut.
* The Gold Mines rs Georgia, as well
the veins as the stream deposits, far ex
ceed in value what I had anticipated. —
It is not much more than a year since
any gold was first discovered in Geor
gia, und only u lew mouths since veins
have been brought to light in that re
gion. In Habersham a vein was open
ed some few months ago, the one sixth
part of which hassince sold for $15,000,
which of course would rate the whole
mine at the enormous sum of |90,000.
This mine is now owned by four gen
tlemen, two of Philadelphia ami two ol
Georgia. It is certainly a very fine vein
und notwithstanding the high price, it
well managed, will pay good profits
The only fear is, that the owners being
unacquainted with the business, may
(ail of success for want of the necessary
skill andjrnanagenient. This ha* been
the cause of several failure* in North
Carolina and we may look for the Mint
in Georgia. To manage a mine well,
something more is necessary beside* *
little smattering of knowledge picked
up from books or from * few days ob
servation- experience and practice in
the business are necessary. It often
j happens, that the ores of different mints
require a very dissimilar management.
Several new veins have, within a few
weeks, been opened in Habersham, but
Hall County rather lower down, seems
to he a better district for rein mines than
Habersham, while Habersham is the
best for deposits or washing. Some fine
veins have been opened in Hall. You
may recollect to have seen during last
winter, in the papers, some accounts of
• Elrod’s Mine,’ then represented as a
surface mine. The old man who owns
it, and his family, in about two days
time, washed out of the surface earth,
something like 3000 dwts. of gold.—
They had no idea of a vein, and never
dreamed of looking for one, while, all
the rime, they were washing the gravel
that had been formed by the falling to
pieces of the top of the vein. The vein
is a grand one—it shows out for a half
mile on the top of a ridge, and appar
ently ricli’aloug the whole extent. I
am decidedly of opinion, it is the best
vein yet discovered m North America.
I have seen and closely examined all
the best veins in North Carolina, and
give this the preference over any of them.
A few days before I was at this mine,
Mr. E.'rod was offered $30,000 cash for
it, and can get a much larger sum, but
will not sell at any price. He had de
termined to put it on lease to some re
sponsible persons, and he has finally
done so to a gentleman in North Caro
lina who has had much experience in
the business. As yet not much has
been done in South Carolina in the
business. I suppose they are too much
taken up with cotton aud nullification.
Georgia and North Carolina seem to
pursue a different course, Instead of
wishing to dissolve the Union on account
of the low price of. Cotton, they are
looking out for new employments, and
fortunately the Gold Mines are opening
a rich field for their enterprize. South
Carolina probably, has as many mines
as either of her sisters, and her rich plan
ters would do well to turn their attention
a little to this source of weatllt.
There was shewn usyesterday by Mr.
William B. Shelton of Habersham, a
piece of Gold found a few days since on
Lot No. S3, in the 11th District of Ha
bersham, owned by himsell, which
weighed seven hundred &. twenty dwts.
The gold is thickly embedded in a rock,
and the loss on the whole, it is estimat
ed, may be about ten dwts. On the
same day and the day following, eight
hands found eleven hundred and seven
teen dwts. This proves to be the most
productive of any mine which has yet
been discovered in llabsrsham
Athenian.
