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 pense is represented as trifling compar ed to the actual value of the work.— The Artist adds, that he will consider his visit to his country most fortunate should lie be the means of preserving to the world, the Statue of our immor tal VVasliingteu and the work ol the greSt Canova. This letter has been communicated to Governor Stokes, who, will doubtless present it to the consideration of the Legislature, the only competent authori ty to make an appropriation for the pur* pose.— Raleigh Itepsttr. MACON, Saturday, . VVe are authorised to announce the following ticket, for State Legisla ture, from Bibb county : FOR SENATE AMBROSE BABER. 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 regular silting’. It is probuble there will be an adjourned Court on the iillh .Mon day in this month. 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 has recently been taken, under authority of the Constitution, lor taking a eensus of the Slate every ten years. The total number of inliabitants was two thousand six hundred and nine. Had il been taken in the Fall or Winter season, it is believed the number would have been considera bly larger. The number of families arc three hundred and three, averaging eight and a traction, to a family. 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. THOMAS HAYNES. 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 portant discovery had been made a few days previous, in that ciiy. The fol lowing is an extract :— * Four days ago, as some planters were digging under ground, they found a square room con taining eleven thousand stands of arms, and fifteen thousand cartridges—each of the cartridges contained a bullet.’— Tbs negroes, it is said, intended to rise as soon as the sickly season began, and obtain possession of the city by massa oreing the planters and white popula tion. Tlie same letter states that the Mayor had prohibited the opening of Sunday Schools for the instruction of the Blacks under a penalty of SSOO for the first offence, and lor the second, Death. Western Observer. [The above paragraph is going the rounds of a*i the Northern and Western papers. It is fine food for those who delight in tli e horrible ! We guess the publisher of this hoax never saw a grave dug in the neighbourhood ofNew-Oi leans, or he would have recollected that 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 doubt whether the Mayor of Nfcw-Or leans could pass penal laws, for the ex ecution of individuals for teaching Sun day Schools.] 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 Mission to England. The Washington correspondent of tlte New York Evening Journal, asseitsthat pri or to tlte appointment of Mr. M’Lane, both Mr. Tazewell and Mr. Berrien re fused pressing offers of the mission to England, being previously advised of the party-colored instructions which were in preparation for that mission. Sat. Intel. It is known to us tliut the Mission to England teas offered to Mr Berrien. — Uis reason for declining it we believe was not that stated in the above article, hut because the peculiar relations of his own state with the General Government seemed to require his continuance in the Cabinet. —Editors Recorder. Mr. Frost, the Attorney of the U. States for tlte district of South Carolina, who received his appointment from Pre sident Jackson, having declined to bring a suit on a merchant's bond, upon the ground that the Tariff act is unconsti tutional, has since resigned hi* commis sion. and Robert B. Gilchrist of Charles ton has been appointed in his place.- From the Sew- Englund Weekly Review. 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.
