LUKE ROSS. ROBERT COLEMAN. • We arc authorized to announce Colonel John iltos. °f Columbus, ns a candidate for Con- & at tbo next October election. The spring adjourned term of Bibb Superior . r t began on tbo 30tlt ultimo aud closed on the :l jniiaut. Great industry was used in trans- jIj. civil business. Tho crimiaul cases was it off until Augu»t next. On Tuesday morning last, the Monroe Muske- Ittrs catered our town, and, at noon, tho Geor- 1 Guards of Milledgevillo arrived, on their urch to the military encampment, consisting of ttuty-fivo tnarkees pitched about three quar- iH 0 f n mile bolotv Macon. Both companies re re met on the way, and escorted to the ground, jibe Macon Volunteers; and allthrco havo since imped aud practised together. Tho object is i acquire a kuowledgo of camp-duty and Celd- Tolulions; and to tho credit of officers and pri mes, their time, by day and night, has been di- v e ntly turned to tho best advantage. They tire a fine military appearance; and the iuter- nirse between tho different corps has been cha racterised not ouiy by politeness, but cordiality id friendship. The Guards and Musketeers itirted homewards yesterday, taking with them ie esteem and good wishes of our towu folks. Public Roads.—The following extract of a lct- irfrom Dr. .V. 11. Powell, is a satisfactory cxpla- itioa of the circumstances which iuduced him •remove the public hands fronwMouroo county: “Byaccident, Isaw a nuraberof the Mcsscu- ter tho other day, iu which my conduct, ns agent. iu severely censured. In relation to the course hich I adopted in removing the hands from Unroe couuty, I am well assured the measure iras a judicious one; for wo 1tad so many obsta- les thrown in our way and not being sustained j the authorities of the county, it was utterly mponible to effect any good by our labors; aud Miultaiieoudy with those difficulties, I was pre futed with a number of petitions signed by nnu- IreJs of tho most substantial citizens of lipsoti id Talbot, praying that the public hands might i placed on the road leading from Marshall's land, via. Thouiaston to Macon. Regarding tit as a very important road to Macon, and oue f very great utility to the citizens of Talbot, Isuweth jr, Upson aud a portion of Mouroo, 1 lisUid to these pressing solicitations, under a vaj conviction that tho best interest of the lamry would bo profited by it." ' Baftiil Theological Seminary.—From a drew rletter written by the Rev. Jesse Mercer, at Wiiugfon, Wilkes county, on the 2/th ult. and ubliihed in the IVashington Neios, it appears that ke stun of fifteen hundred dollars for tha cstab- ishment of a Baptist Theological School, has sen subscribed for, more than half the subscrip ts has been paid, and a contract has been aide for a farm, on which to locate tbo iustitu- ion, about eight miles north of Grocncshorough, Srecnc couuty.

It would, therefore, seem to your committee to be most jometous not to act u|>on the question of re- chartermg that institution, or of chartering any o- ther national bank, until the public debtsball have noen paid on, and the public revenue shall have boon adjusted to tho measure of oui federal ex penditures." ’Nullification.—K correspondent suggests, that, B3 war and pestilence go often hand iu hand, tlioy are produced by the same cause; and that as our country has already been visited by pleu- risy, pneumonia and cholerine, the precursors of spasmodic cholera, nullification is tho twin sister of tho Asiatic scourge; and, haring hor arm the momeut cholera appears, sho will join in tho slaughter. He refers both to the conilttiou of the atmosphere—to some subtile vapor combining the qualities ofcnrbutetted hydrogen and nitrous oxide ga t s r s—producing death when it affects the gun- ghotiic system, and rampant madness when the eucephalouic nerves. Should tbo conjecture be right, it might, ill our Legislature, he humanity to build bedlams as well us hopitals! The remnants of Indian tribes in Massachusetts ■are said, by the Taunton Sun, te intend applying to the Supremo Court for exemption from tho o- peration of the laws of that State. Should such application be made, that tribunal, bound by its precedent iu the case of Georgia, must decide in favor of the Massachusetts Indians, and a similar award ho rendered for every other tribe in the U- nited States on demanding judicial intervention: for, if the Federal Judiciary have the right to dis member Georgia,_ its power to divide any and e- very other State is beyond dispute. It would be novel to see, from ttyetity to thirty independent savage nations (some not more numerous or re- pectablo than a gang of gypsies, aud in alt not exceeding some hfty or sixty thousand souls) oc- cupying tracts surrounded by the territories of a civilized power with a population of twelve mil lions, and this anomaly perpetuated for the pur- poso of preserving tho "noble remains” of feroci ty, ignorance, sloth and treachery. INDIA*. By the latest advices from India, it appears that that country, from Thibet to Comorin, fs in a state of insurrection against the English autho rity—whether occasioned by the actual distress of tho natives, or iustigated by the Chiucse gov ernment through tho Hindoo princes anil its own subjects numerous in every part of tho East, (iu order to avert the invasion of the celestial empire threatened by the British) remains to be deter mined. In tho United States, we are so apt to associate the idea of liberty with that of independence, that we are almost involuntarily led to wish success to every people in their efforts to throw off a foreigu yoke. Yet, on reflection it may appear, that the expulsion of tlio English from Hiudoostau at the present time would ultimately ho a heavy calami ty to uiucteen-twcntieths of the natives. They are, as a people, incompetent to tho task of soll- f jovernmeut. When left to themselves, their po- ity is uo more than a succession of robbers as cending tho throne and iu turn thrust from it by violence. Indeed, nothing bettercan be expected iu a community, wedded to the doctrine of fatali ty, that think theinsolves allied to tho brutes in spirit and consider life a curse,—that worship deities of tho most profligate attributes, and arc themselves addicted, even in thoir devotions, to tlio most polluted practices,—that arc, from edu cation, destitute of truth aud humanity, and su perciliously haughty or abjectly servile as they happen to bo iu contact with a superior or infe rior—a people that believe themselves to be spe cially created slaves for their priests, and tho-most acceptable offering they can render heaven to consist of the donations, tho honors and the ser vices they coufcr on a body of men the vilest on earth. A government instituted by such a race, (if capable of forming ono), would partake of the vices of its members;—blit it is fortunate for them selves and perhaps for the credit of maukiud, that they have neither the inclination nor capacity to attempt such a labor. That business, when uot iu the chains of a conqueror, they leave to thoir liniidit who cau gather arouud him the largest host of robbers; nnd the government, both in jts legislation and administration, is marked, in all its ■ramifications, by tho fitfulness, rapine and cruelty of tbo sovereign, with the additional disadvantage that they aro excluded from forcigD knowledge by which they might reform their morals aud improve iu the arts of life. Heavy nnd harsh ns is the grasp in which they are held by Britain, it neither shuts them out from tbo light ofseieueo, nor donies them access to the pages of ronson; nud though it protects then, in the oxerciso of their superstitious, (which aro tho vory foundation of thoir slavery mid baseness,) yot it presents for their acceptance a religion holy in its origin, pure in iu principle*, aud uniformly tho harbinger of science and civil liberty. On the continuance of tho English power iu Hindoostau for years to come, depends the extension of Chris tianity iu thnt couutry. Tho overthrow of tho former would there be the extinction of the latter, We are therefore compelled to anticipate with re gret, so far os tho regeneration of the natjvcs is mvolved. utc present commotions iu that quarter, and desire their speedy suppression. Such is the progress of knowledge aud the power of Chris tianity, that, uudcf the auspices of England, thoy must, in nn ago or two, predominate, olid tho le gends of Brumba aud tho fetters of caste ho treat ed with ridicule. Then may tlio Hiudoo, rege nerate.!, iir , , •• With sits and nrms that triumphed once before, and, with safety to his future condition as n man, oxpel the English from the land of Gunga. To such as hope for tho speedy annihilation of English authority in Iudin, under the belief that it would reduce her to the condition of a second ary power, and givo to tho United States supre macy at sea. we answer that Britain's bccomiug a Hrninilarv nation does not - *s • consequence follow her loss of her Indian possessions; that while our StBtcs remain united, they ure fully adequate to protect our co.mmorco, whether Eng land ho n first or secondary power, and that should the Union ho dismembered, the humilia tion of England wonld ho to us a matter of no advantage; for split up into little uidcpcudeuUo- vereignties, tho maintenance 8f a navy would bo far above our menus,—as much ns a frigato on the ocean we would be unable to keep, and it vyould matter but littlo whether wo were plundered and insulted by the Briton or Spaniard.

VJo are happy to learn, that uo very material injury was |us- toiued. • . In Talbot couuty, a new post office named Da- vision, has been established, under Mr. Samuel H. Davis as postmaster. The contractor for building a bridge across the Chattahoochee, at Columbus, was, together with his hands, hi that town on thefftb instant, and rea dy to commence operations. - ' The Marshal of the Southern District of Alaba ma directs all intruders on Creek tends, remova ble by the late treaty, to loavo the territory by tbo ISth of July next. Moseley Baker, recently editor qf tho Mont gomery Journal, Alabama, who on tlio 20th ult. was iu tho prison of New Orleans-on the chargo of having, by forgery, or rather using fictitious signatures, defrauded the State Bank of Alabama to the amount of about thirty thousand dollars, declares by a letter, published in the Mobile Pa triot of tbo 1st iustuut, Ills innocence; that ho was eutirciy ignorant of tbo existence of the fraud; that not a dollar of tho money over remained in his bauds; that he was not fleeing the country when apprehended; is as anxious as any ouo to havo tho matter investigated, auil until that be effected asks the suspension of public opiuioti.' •* The nomination of William P. Duval, as gov ernor of Florida, has beeu confirmed by the Ecu ate of tho United States. Subscriptions for the stock of the Union Bank, at NowOrleaus, amounted, in two dayi', the 26tli and "7 th ult., to five aud a half millions of dollars —upwards of two millions to be secured by pro perty in the country, and three and a lialf mil lions by property in tlio city. The whole capital is seven millions, all of which, says the Argus, will be taken. Counterfeit five dollar notes on the Baltimore Brauch Bauk of the Uuitcd States, have been do tected at Norfolk. , On the 27th ult. tbe project of the Secretary of the Treasury for reducing the duties on imports was laid before the House of Representatives. It is said lie proposes to fix the duty on tbo finer woollens about 23 or 30 per cent, on the actual cost—to bo paid in cash, by the importing mer chant, whenever the goods are drawn from the public warehouses, where thoy are deposited.— All woollens under 33J cents the square yard, are to come in dutyfree—Tbo credits on cotton are to be from four to six months. The Apportionment Bill, ns it passed to g, third reading in tho Senate, settles t|ie.whole number of Representatives at,251, in tlio following propor tion—Maine 8, New H'niiipshireB, Massachusetts 13, Rhode Islaml 2, Connecticut 6, Ver;uont C, New York 40, New Jersey. 7, Fcnusylvaiiia 23, Delaware 2, Maryland 9, Virginia 21, North Ca rolina 13, South Caroliua. 10, Georgia, 9, Ken tucky 13, Tennessee 13, Ohio 20,-Louisiana 4, Indiana 7, Alabama 6, Missouri 3, Mississippi 2, Illinois 3. By official documents, it appears that, since the year 1815, tho coinage, at the Mint of tbo United States, amounts to 323,873,709-90—on which Use wastage was $357,50-75: that pn gold was 3303,600—011 silver 831,835-13. The gain ou copper, $91,199-47. The new mint will cost a- bout 8109,000. , ^ The Legislature of New York closed its session on the 26th ult. having passed more than three hundred acts and resolutions, among other mat ters, incorporating six. bunks,eighteen rail road companies, and two cities. The Baptist General Convention was organized in Now York,on the morning of the 25th ult., by the election of tho Rev. S. H. Co’ho of Noiv York, President, and the Rev. Howard Malcolm, Se cretary. Delegates from fifteen States aud the district of Columbia were present. All their de liberations were iu public. New Mode of Punishment.—Thomas J.

Law of Copyright.—It may not bo giucratlv known, either to publishers or authors, that ac cording to the provision of the act liass'ed in Fcb- rnary, 1831, oxtoudiag the term of copyrights, a copy of tho work for which a copyright Jius been been taken, must be deposited in the office of tho clerk of tho proper district, within three months after tbo publication thereof, to be forwarded to Washington. Mina, who first seduced and- afterwards mar ried Mrs. Chapman, was, atl'oyloston, Poun. ou the 27th ult. convicted of th* murder of hor hus band. For participation iu the crime, ,she was tried last fall but acquttcd, sufficient ovidence uot appearing a gainst her. * « A letter to the editor of tho Philadelphia Inquir er contnius the following inlbnuntion: ‘•The cvidonco has clearly established jlto fact of an adulterous intercourse between Miua nnd Mrs. Chapman; that Mink purchased two ounces of arsenic in Philadelphia-on tho 16th June; that Sir.

Immediately after death, tito body possessed an UO usual rigidity; when it was opened three months afterwards, it firmly resisted the knife; tho stomach nud gullet were violently iuflamed, wltilo the intestiues were free from inflammation; and tho chotnic.il tests, although unsatisfactory, gavo good reason to be lieve that arsenic had been in that part of the sto mach to which thoy were applied.

AO t»f which we coiiccivo to-ho a conipromit of the right, of the citiici|j, and a flu grant violation of the trust reposed hi thorn as the guardians of tlio. public property; inasmuch us the property transferred to tho said’ Cowles Was worth more than the Jail and lot ou which it now stands, and was by far (lie niord'desirable situation : thereby' ra the said Cowles an opportunity of making agreement it profit bf ono thousand dollars; and ai such we enter our solemn protest to their actings and doings in this behalf. Wo have also examined the County Jail and fiud it in a very uusafo condition; and would there fore recommend, nnd particularly enjoin it on tho Inferior Court, that they take tlio same under their especial care, nnd nave it so repaired and amended that the Jailor r.iay bo enabled to keep 11 tbo3o who may lib committed to his care- I’creeiviug the great evil which exists through/ out tho County in tlio neglect of Justices of tho different districts iu tiot appointing- sufficient p;i- tro!s, tborchy suffering the slave population to rove too mticli at largo nnd uncoutroled, particu larly ou Mabbath days, wo request and enjoin it ou the Justices' tliat they have the law rigidly enforced agreeable to law and tho obligation they havo taken. We recommend that tho Comptroller General allow and refund-to Samuel Stanford, late Tax Collector of this county, the sum of eighty-six doL tary and ninety cents, being rtaimed hy the said Samuel Stanford for his Insolvent list. Printer', bill and fees, which lie represent, to this body us not having been nllowcd him in his former settle-' incut with tiie State.; nnd also recommend that tho luferior Court of. this County allow said Sa muel Stanford sixty-nine dollars aud fifty-two cent, for a similar purpose: Feeling it o:*r duly as Woli ns privilcgo to ex press freely our opinions on mntters connected with the moral welfare of society nnd the crin-.’S Dial jurisprudence of tho country, tvo have delibe rately considered tho late change of the penal code of this State, with a desire to invito tlic nf- tention of tho couiniuiiily thereto. That there may have been fuults iu the Penitentiary system, wo will not deny, hut wc arc led to believe that innuy of tlio evils which havo been complained of 1 by the opponents of that system grew out bf tbo want of proper regulations in'the Institution, ra ther than belonging to the system itself, and whit It timo nnd experience might ultimately remedy . But with all its faults we believe .that it is ibbro consistent with the enlightened and liberal policy of a republican government to execute its laws in mercy, thus by giving the offeuder the opportuni ty of'reflecting on his crimes and returning to so ciety, after having expiated hy a scries of years of labor nnd solitary- confinement the commission of tin offence, than by introducing tho sanguinary practice of capital punishments for mister offences, nnd the barbarous and odious spectacle of tho whipping post, and maiming tho human body. Tho moral law, that pcrisblcss monument of a more tlmu human wisdom, denies tlm right i.> take life hut for life. In acouulry like this, which .oweaau ahcxarnplc-dpro-.pirity to the immediate protection of Heaven, Whore more properly ban oa expunged frdrit its moral code the barbarous punishment which mark the career of tyrannical aud despotic governments, where the vnluo cf human life is estimated by the dross of worldly wealth. We therefore j-ccommcud to ohr Sena tor and Representatives iu the next general'ns- sembly, to endeavour to I'ovive the late penal code, with such modification* and hotter regulations for the government of the Penitentiary as the wisdom of the Legislature tnay suggest. Wo also view the rnpid'jnlfodrction of slaves into our State ns nn evil of no ordinary magni tude, calling for legislative interference. ..Wo are fully aware that’tnany legislative enactment, havo heretofore been made with this view to little* a lose, either from tho fact of their dot bring riently penal, or from the want of theifproper enforcement. Dot recent cireumstnnccs must have awakened the ptblic mind to nn ovil, the baneful extent of which all must reflect upon with horror, and its future consequences none ran forewo; wo thoreTtro earnestly recommend tho next Le gislature to frame such enactments ns will effec tually suppress ibis bine to tho happiness and (u- tur.- I ity of the Slum. Wc havo examined the offices of tlio Clcrks'of the Superior and Inferior Courts mid find that tlio Records, Books and Accounts of these officcts m a neatly kept, nud fully entitle them to public ebu- fidence. Wo have also had before ns nn able report from tbo County Treasurer on tho subject of the Couhty funds, end arc happy to congratulate our fellow citizens ou tho fact that there seems to be no ne cessity' for imposing nn additional tax to meet tha current expenses of the County, which ha. hi therto been so burthciisomo to this community. Iu taking leave of his Honor Judge StrCng,-nt the close of the arduous nnd tedious duties of the present term, we lake pleasure in benriug testi- mony to tho zeal and promptitude with which'tin has discharged his official duty, and tender our thanks for the courtesy uud attention which ho has uniformly extended to this body. We cannot take leave of tho Solicitor Gcueral without tendering our acknowledgments for tho prutapt attention extended to us in the exercise of tho painful duties which havo devolved upon us a. Grand Jurors; and wo with heartfelt pleasure con gratulate our fellow citizuis of this circuit, ou tho selection of to able and vigilant a public officer to support tho dignity nnd supremacy of tho laws.
