aiACOW, OEOB.QIA,
SATURDAY, NOV. 12, 1831.
NAI HAN C. MUNROE was, on Saturday
last, unanimously elected President of the Marine
and Fire Insurance Bank of this place, vice Har
rison Smith, Esq. resigned.
We are authorized to announce Hon. Charles
E. Haynes of Hancock Couuty a candidate to
fill the vacancy jn Congress, caused by the elec
tion of Hon. Wilson Lumpkin to the Executive
Chair of Georgia.
On the 7th instant, Governor Gilmer issued
his-writ, directing the election to be held on Mon
day, the 13th day of December next.
FROM MILLEDGEVILLE.
Sunday, 6th October, 1831.
Dear :
Every avenue to this place is thronged
with travellers;, all having their faces turned to
wards tho capitol, and their eyes fixed on the
vaults of the treasury—whose safety it appears
was their groat object and highest ambition to
protect! Indeed, it evinces a notable' love of
country to see so many voluntarily leaving their
homes and sacrificing their domestic enjoyments,
all to watch over the public weal! Tho number
of candidates here, aud hourly arriving, for door
keepers, messengers, secretaries, solicitors, &c.
&c. is almost incredible—they must amount to
several hundred. Such au influx of company,
into this small town, at this unusually dry time,
you may depend upon it, raises a terrible dust—
and a good many strange surmises. Already ev
ery public house is crowded—many of them to
overflowing. Probably never before was Mil-
ledge ville so thronged with visitors.
Long before the traveller reaches the “Eagle”
or “Lafayette” hotel, he “knows by the smoke”
that something unusual is going on. The fresh
painted houses and White washed walls, the ring
ing of tavern bells, the calling of servants, the run
ning of ostlers, the squalling of chickens, the
squealing of pigs, at once convince him that
“mischief is brooding,” or that the Legislature is
sitting. Nor iudeed does his apprehensions van
ish, when ho alights at the inn; after passing group
after group, of anxous phizzes, he sees foreboding
shakes of the head, and hears the half suppressed
and suspicious whisper.
Thore is a wonderful degree of excitement here.
The situation of the two great contending parties;
their relative strength, in the Legislature, aud in
tlie State; their hopes, and their fears, have rais
ed aud tend to keep it alive. Some surmises too,
of au intended attempt to set aside the Govern
or’s election, has also added to the excitement,
until it has almost become feverish.
The Governor elect, Mr. Lumpkin, arrived iu
town yesterday evening; and the members of each
house are nearly all in.
Monday, October 7th.
At ton o’clock this Morning, the members elect
of each branch of the Legislature convened at the
State House, aud banded in their credentials
to their respective secretaries. Thore was a very
full attendauco, only one or two members being
absent.
In the Senate, Mr. Aliderson of Franklin was
called to the Chair. The bath of office was ad
ministered by Judge Clayton. The members be
ing all qualified, they proceeded to tho election of
a President. On counting out the ballots, tho
vote stood: for Thomas Stocks of Green, 38; for
Thomas Wootteu of Wilkes, 37. So Major
Stucks the former President was re-elected.—
On bnllotting for Secretary, tho voto was: for
John A. Cutbbcrt, tho former secretary, 38; for
Iverson L. Harris, 33—(and one Trouper absent.)
So it appears the Troupers have a majority of
about 2 iu the Senate. Henry Darnell is re-elect
ed messenger: and Ruoben E. Brown door keep
er of the Senate.
In the IIouso of Representatives, the oath was
administered by Judge W. VV. llolt; aud the
IIouso was organized by re-electing Asbury Hull
of Clark, Speaker; W. C. Dawson Clerk; Sta
pleton, messenger; and Holtzclaw, doorkeeper.
The Troup majority iu tho IIouso is about 16.
The Clark party run Capt. Bates of Hall, in op
position to Hull for Speaker; aud somo of them
voted for N. B. Julian in opposition to Dawson
for Clerk.
A little sparring took place in the Senate this
morning, iu consequence of the seat of the mem
ber returned from Decatur being protested. A
motion was made that tho seat remain vacant urn
til tho Senate wero organized, and tho right of
the claimants to it could bo investigated. A
good ileal of discussion ensued, and tho debate
was growing sort o’angry, when it was suddenly
slopped by die opposing candidate withdrawing
his protest, and allowing the member returned to
be qualified.
Another iucident also occurred in tho Senate
todav, which made a tittle amusement, and for
a while interrupted tho proceedings: The learn
ed Judge. I am told, after making somo progress
in tlie qualification of tho members, discovered
that the oath ho was administering was obsolcto
— it being the form presented under the old con
stitution, instead of tho amended ono!
Tuesday, October 8.
It is said that William H. Crawford is here,
aud has advised tho setting aside of tho election
of Governor, on account of informality in the re
turns—bnt that Governor Troup says it will not
do.—It is believed also that Gilmer would ho a-
fraid to adopt so hold a measure. Tho Clark
men are resolved to stand by their arms, and do
what shall seem fitting aud proper, should such
a thing bo attempted.—they are much oxcitedotr
the subject. Lumpkiu appears entirely compos-

Caucus—the principal object being to put down
opposition to tV. H. Crawford aud start a candid

—at which time I expect they will announce their
Congress man.—Sayre says he’s determined to
run against Crawford—our friends are very san
guine he will succeed. It is conjectured they will
not let Crawford bo beaten—that if they find he
cannot he elected, they will withdraw his name.

From the 6amo print, we copy Mr. Lumpkin’s
INAUGURAL ADDRESS:
Fellow-Citizen*—Called by the voice of tho
people of Georgia, to tho first office within their
gift, I approach the responsibilities of tho station
with unaffected humility and diffidence. But for
a firm reliance on that wisdom which comes from
above, and an unshaken confidenco in tho virtuo
and intelligence of my constituents, I should shrink
from the magnitude of the arduous and compli
cated duties of the office confided.
The basts of my political creed is, confidence
in the unofficial, sovereign people. They are the
only legitimate source of all governmental power,
and I believe them to be not only capable of self
S government, but of wise self government. Therc-
bre, my onlv hope of retaining their confidence,
will bo m a faithfui uiecharge of my public duty.
To this station I bring no spirit of party ani
mosity, or political strife. I have no pledges to
redeem, nor vindictive feelings to gratify. I am
now (he servant of all.
I avail myself of this occasion to reaffirm what
I stated to the public in February last—that “it
is my most ardent desire to see the whole people
of Georgia united on the great subjects of politi
cal interest and principle, which are inseparably
connected with liberty and th8 perpetuation of
our Federal Union. “2he Federal Union must
be preserved;" aud it can only be done by the
General and State Governments confining themr
selves within their rcspcctivo constitutional
spheres."
_ Pure patriotism demands of every public func
tionary, a voluntary sacrifice of all political pre
judices, which may stand opposed to the public
interest. Thus far 1 make a free will offering of
my own, on tlie altar of the public good.
_ In the presence of that portion of my fellow-ci
tizens here assembled, and in that of-Heaven, I
now proceed to bind myself by the solemnities of
the most sacred obligation, to discharge, xvith
zeal and fidelity, tho duties of the high trust to
which 1 havo been called.
Capture of Nat Turner.—It is with much gra
tification, wo inform the public, that the sole con
triver and leader of tho late insurrection in South
ern. Ho was then proclaimed by the Prcsidentof -ampton—concerning whom suchahuo aud cry

of the army and navy of the State of Georgia and
of tho militia thereof. The gloat seal was then
placed in his hands by the Ex-Govemor, and by
the Governor transferred to the hands of the Sec
retary of State. Tho procession then retired, and
the completion of tho ceremony was hailed from
without by the discharge of cannon.

It appears' that on Sunday morning last, Mr.
Phipps, having his gun, aud going over the lauds
of Mr. Francis, (one of tho first victims of the hell
ish erew) came to a place where a uumber of
pines had been cut down, and perceiving a slight
motion among them, cautiously approached, and
when withiu a few yardfj discovered the villain
xvho had so long eluded pursuit, endeavoring to
encesne himself in a kind of cave, the month of
which was concoaled with brush. Mr. P. raised
his guu to fire; but Nat. hailed him and offered to
surrender. Air. P. ordered him to give up his
arms; Nat then threw away an old sword, which
it seems was the only weapon he had. Tho pri
soner, as his captor came up, submissively laid
himself on the ground, and was thus securely ti
ed—not making the least resistance!
Mr. P. took Nat to his own residence, whero
he kept him until Mondav morning—and having
apprised his neighbors of Ins success, a considera
ble party accompanied him and his prisonef to
Jerusalem, where after a brief examination, the
culprit was committed to jail..
Our informant (one of our own citizens who
happened to be in the county at the time,) awards
milch praise to the people of Southampton for
their foreboaranco on this occasion. He says that
not tho least personal violence was offered to Nat
—who seemed, indeed, ono of tho most miserable
objects he ever beheld—dejected, emaciated and
ragged.. The poor wretch, we learn, admits all
that has been alleged against him—says that tie
has at no time beeu five miles from the scene ef
his atrocities; and that be ha*.frequently wished
to give himself up, but could never summon saf-
cient resolution!—Petersburg Intelligencer, 4th

The English Refohu Bill passed tho IIouso, of

of 100, forty inembors being absent. The Bill
was sent on the evening of the same day to the
House of Lords, read the first time, and ordered
to a second reading oil the ,26th. Somo appre
hensions seem to be entertained that the Bill will
not pass tills body; but the Alinistry must be as

tho termination of tho struggles of tho Poles. It is

friends, but ’trua (we cannot venture vow to say
otherwise) as to tho results:
“Tho Field Marshal Count Paskeivitseh bad

tlie firing was renewed with great violence, aud
many buildings CD that side, with all the wind

Russian were masters of all tlie entrenchments,
whereupon, aftor another summons, a capitulation
was concluded. The Imperial troops performed,

counts estimate their loss at 5000 meu; but wo
suspect from tho nature of the contest, and the
extent of this admission, that not less tkun 10,000
