which he had been appointed under tho muni

toWe attacked Newport about one o'clock pm
Monday morning; but the extreme coldness of
the morning prevented many from attending
at tho appointed places of meeting aud It was
not till ton o’clock on Monday, that they entered
the town, in two divisions, one headed by Frost,
the other by his son. a lad of fourteen or fifteen.
—They were armed with guns, pistols, pikes,

The trade in cotton factories at llevwood is

_tof diom was stationed at ti e Westgate
Hotel, tho mob wore formed in front of it, the im
mediately commenced un attack by firing dirnugli
the windows into the house. The military* (about
thirty soldiers of die Forty fifth Regiment) un
der tb® direction of d:e ’Mayor, Mr. Thomns
Phillips, junior, promptly returned the fire; nnd
m a very short time several of tho rioters were
deprived of life, nnd lay weltering in blood—a
horrid spectacle for the survivors, who very soon
retreated in great disorder,and in every direction.
Great praise is due to the military for their cool
and determined conduct. Tho Mayor was wound
ed by a gnn shotin dm left arm, and by a severe
eut in the right side, which has quite disabled
hhu” A sergeant and a private, and two shop
keepers of Newport, Mr. Henry Williams and
Mr* Morgan, were seriously tv minded, and sever
al other special constables slightly.
Tbs Mayor, who behaved with much cooluess
and in trtpidily, read the riot act among showers
ofbullets, before ha ordered tho military to fire.
The number ofthe rioters was variously estimated
at from 7000 to 10,000; but a much larger num
ber was collected on dm hil Is.
At night Mr. Frost’s liouso was searched and
hit papers secured by Mr. Jones Phillips, a solici
tor. Mr. Phillips then proceeded to the residence
of Partridge, Frost’s printer; auddiere appre
hended Mr. Frost himself, who was quietly sup
ping on bread and cheese, aud apparently uncon
scious ofdan^cr,though a re ward of £ 100 had been
offered for his apprehension. Partridge was also
seemed. Botii tsjsbrothcrs hod pistols, percus
sion caps; powder and Imllcts. Many rioters
ware made prisoner*; and among them Charles
Waters, a ship-carpenter.
On Tuesday, Frost and Water* were brought
before the magistrates. Mr. Reginald Blewitt,
M. l\, took the lead in die examination. Oue of
the rioters, Matthew Williams, so badly wounded
thatheiould scarcely speak, was a principal wit
ness against the prisoners. From this man’s evi
olence It appeared, that the organization had been
tn progress for some time. He himself was one
of a company commanded by a captain, whose
name he ceud not or wonld not tell He pro-
S tO have been terrified into joining diem by
ofvh/l&ncc.^^Hc said that Frost acted os n.
ofthe rioters. Other witnesses confirmed
WiHiauH’ testimony; and added that Waters was
active in the r.ttack on Weatgate Holel. During
thP examination, Frost behaved with coolness,
und occasionally made some sneering remarks
upon tile questions ami answers. Both prisoner*
were committed to Monmouthgon), to be tried on
charges of sedition und high treason.
Too bodies of many rioters were found in the
streets end it) the fields. The number killed 1ms
not been ascertained, but is supposed to have
been between twenty aud thirty; die wounded are
much' more numerous. Numbers of tho dead
aud wnuuded arc said to have been carried over
die hills by their comrade*.
Several of the wounded declare that they were
deluded into tits dangerous eulerprizc by “ Ma
gistrate Frost.”

STATE OF TRADE;
THE STATE RIGHTS' PARTY OF TIIE
SOUTH.—THE GEORGIA JOURNAL
AND OURSELVES.
The Journal of the lQtii inst. honors our re
mark* of the 27th November, concerning the re
modeling* of our Party with a notice, in which he
soya that our article mortified him not a little.—
Now, we shall bo very plain with onr contempo
rary, and call things by their right name*, nnd
place parties and men in their true position, ac
cording to our ideas. Wc are very fur from wish
ing to give offence, or to produce unnecessary
dissentions by so doing *, bat, the time has arrived
for every man to speak out his sentiments, not
ouly Editors pretending?o lead public opiuion,but
even private individuals ore called upon to take
sides ou tho momentous questions now agitating
the country.
The Editors of the Journal concede our first di
vision of the State Rights’ Party—namely, “ the
Kinall fragment who sink or swiin with Mr. Cal-
iiol’x, Van Boren, Sub-Treasury nnd all;” and
for Ilia concession thus far, we aro willing to sup-
pone ourselves mistnkeu in the matter of influonce
which the fifteen gallon memorial exercised in die
late elections. It is a matter very littie relevant
to the present matter in baud, whcdier the people
of Georgia were stupid enough to be humbugged
with that silly affair, or not. Our business is
more with the future, ami Uua brings ua to the
second division ofthe .State Rights' Parly; name
ly—“ Tho friends of the Sub-Treasury, who can
not bring tiienwelvci to go for Mr. Van Boren.”
Wo stated in our firmer article, tiiut these were
the men who hung back at die lute election.-
This seems to have given mortal offence to our
friends ofthe Journal, and they take some pains to
show u 5 that this branch of tho pUrty, did even,
■belter than mmol, on that occasio/L We might
even graut this too, and yet, tho evils wo com
plain of exist to paralyze us for die future; and
icc ic ill grant it, if the Journal insist* upon it—pre
mising, tiiat it is by no means certain that all the
State Rights’men of Burke, Merriwcthcr, Mus
cogee, McIntosh, dec., &c. f &c., who gave our
ticket the majority—arc of this fragment—or
branch.
Now then, having made a clean breast of it con
cerning that article, let us come right np to the
mattersin issue between tho Journaland ourselves,
aud between his party nnd ours; for, it will be
Keen in Un sequel, tiiat we belong to as opposite
parties as ever divided politicians. The Journal,
if we understand its position, has nailed it* flag
to die mast, nnd on that flig float* the name of
George M. Troup for President of die United
States. Nor is till* all—it is generally understood,
that Gov. Troup win fivor of the Hub-Treasury.
Here tiien is the real m iltor in issue between us—
andhv.ico the offence nt onr second classification.
It may he well for us to state in tiic communce-
lnent, that we con tides' the Governor a sound
nnd honest politician, up to the time of his es
pousing the Hub-Treasury—ami honest, even
after thst uufart:mato avowal (if such ho has
made); but further than this in the wild crusade,
we cannot follow him. We conMuotgo for Gov.
Troup now, as .our contemporaries will admit,
even if there was,a chance for his success; for,
we avow uncompromising hostility to that anti.
Republican—auti*Slate Rights' measure of Mr.
•Van Boren's, called tho Independent Treasury.
Nay, more—wc avow onr determination to wage
war against uH'politicinn.i -whatsoever, who sup
port it. Not a personal or malignant warfare,
nor one imputing motives to our opponents, but
a fair, hpen and honorable contention. Wo threw
fittvo no ftidi ttrthis pjan oPtlmiwuig <nv«y tho Con
vote of*r sovereign State; liy pinuiug htr faith to
the skirt* of any oue politician whatever, and
ranch lea to one la favor of the Sub-Trcasuiy.—
Look at the spt'ctaclo tiiat Sontli-Carollna now
exhibit* before tha nation, as pinlictl to the coat-
tail of Mr. CAiuouN! Whore now are all her
gaUatit soldier*, who fought hi die Nullification
Worf Where is HaynkT Where Hamilton t
Where McDorru? Where Preston I Where
Pinckney ?
IIiv.nk, alas! has passed “the homo from
wbcnco no traveller returns ’’—but was Un tiot
ostracised before dial sad event—at least had be
not retired from the field iu disgust! Has not
Hamilton renounced this one man political sys
tem ? Has not McDvrriK retired radierthoii fight
his patron? Has not Preston been drummed
out of die camp, because ho would not keep closo
enough watch upon Mr. Calhoun’s political evo
lutions? IIss pot PuccKXsr, too, been banish
ed ? And this old one man system—this drown
State doctrine—is Georgia to bo indoctrinated
into it ? Is she to have Troup, or no body ? Is
sho to put on Soulh-Carolina’s cast-off clothing ?
Not if our humble voifco can bo heard in the din
of tho conAict.
We believe that the genions of onr Govern
ment, requires the peoplo to be divided into two
groat political partios, (nt least until education is
tnoic generally diflused) and that aspirants for the
Presidency, should seek political elevation thro’
them—otherwise, the direct voice of a majority of
the people can never be beard, bcariug directly
against,, or for, any great political measure. Iu
fact, these one man parties may *Q distract pub
lic attention, dial die country may be ruled by
minorities.
Is tills die state of tilings, which the Journal
wishes to bring about ? Does it wish the State of
Georgia to throw away her voto upon Governor
Troup, and thus, for all practical purposes, to bo
os if no Stats of Georgia existed ? If so, hero
again wo differ with our ancicut ally.
But die Journal intimates, tiiat if diese be our
nciitimeuts, we hail better withdraw peaceably
from the party. Softly, softly, geutiouion! That
party generally wididraws, when there is a divis
ion in the camp, which is in tho minority; and we
have yet to learn, tiiat a majority of the State
Rights' Party of Georgia, has ever espoused the
odious and detested Sub-Treasury. Wo said be
fore, that there must l>« a split in our ranks, and
tiiat the sooner that split took place, die better;
but, die Journal rated us rouudly for an avowal
which can no longer bo concealed. The fact is,
tiiat if the old State Rights’ Party is to be victori
ous under the banners of the Sub-Treasury, we
do uot waut to «ce her victorious at all. Such a
triumph, we would consider as disastcrous to all
the high views of a patriotic party, aud even to the
pemnucncy of our iusdtutious themselves. We
would consider it nothing more nor less than n
triumph of Martin Van Buren and his Treasury
cohorts, and by no possibility could it ever re
dound to the interests pf Gov. Troup-die Jour-
nal, or ourselves, unless indeed die Governor and
his party, with die Journal, were to follow in the
footsteps of the littie Magician, which thing we
have not insulted them by supposing possible.—
And whilst we are upon this branch of the subject,
will die Journal bo good enough to inform us bow,
even in an expedient point of view, they ore to
prosper with so many Sub-Treasury candidates
in the field. Hero are no less than tiiree already—
Mr. Van Buna.*—Mr. Calhoun—and Gov.
Troup. If die first is ro-elcctod, tho most tiiat die
second can hope for is, to fall iuto the regular line
of safe precedents—and in that case, is die Journal
willing for it* favorite to come in third in succes-.
si on on tho Sub-Trcasniy hobby ? .
Holding then these views of public men nnd
measures, and knowing that a largo majority of
our political friends Imre entertain similar ones,is
it strange dint we demanded a new organization
of parties! Is it not just and right tint every par
ty should battle uuder its own flag 1 Most cor-
taiuly it i*;. and by the same process of reasoning,
it is equally unjust for a branch of our party to
fight under the Sub-Treasury burner. This con
fusion of allies and enemies, paralyzes the ener
gies of a party. If \re strike a blow at Mr. Van
Bjren’s paid troop3, our friends beiugdressed like
tiiom, wc areas apt to hit ono as the oilier. Sep
arate then tresay, or unite. Let ul) be open aud
above board.
It requires no seer to fiud out that \v« differ
most materially on unoUier point with the Journal,
when it intimates (as we understand it) that this
financial question is one of mere temporary expe
diency. Wo consider it ilie most vital question
which ha* ever been presented to the consideration
ofthe American people, since the adoption of tho
Federal Constitution. In fact, we consider the
question to be revolution or no revolution—or in
other words, the preservation of the existing order
of things, or no preservation. IiCt tho parties
then rally uitder their proper heads of Sub-Treas
ury, or no Sub-Treasury.
The Journal hopes that wo may reconsider our
rash design, arid go on under the old order of
thing*. Now, that paper considers this great ques
tion aa one of more temporary expediency, nnd
can, without any sacrifice of principle, give up its
advocacy and follow the majority of die party,
who, we think, do consider it one of vital and
paramount interest, and involving most important
principle*. If this be a true *tato of things, and
wc think itis, which should succumb ! Wc would
most gladly sec our old victorious banners again
floating over tho people, and wc would mod
cheerfully extend die right hand of fellowship to
the Journal, and all others, in such no event; but,
wc cannot sacrifice all that wo hold putriotic aud
just, for the purpose of adhering together uncon
genial masse* of a great and once powerful party.
Wo believe that truth and justice will always tri
umph, ultimately—and to that caiuc will wo give
our aid, which has them ou its sido. We believe
tho Sub-Treasury no such cauxc, but that it is a
measure, seized upon by a ruined und defeated
party, for the express purpose of dragging into its
Miipport a portion of our old party who were al
ready and hastily committed in its favor. But be
cause one fox has his lailcut'off, we don’t cut oil'
oiys!

THE THEATRE.
At one time, iu tho enviable reign of tho
“ Round Heads,” in flic days ofOliverCrora.vcll,
than whom a more profound and.paiuted hypo*
critc never lived, die stuge was entirely suppres
sed ; aud if any oue would efijay a theatrical piece,
lie had to do it at his private house, nt hi* own
expeuse, or that of his friend*. Stage actors were
a* good as proscribed anil banished England.—
The labors of eminent men, and even die works
of die immortal BHAKSPEARB were suffered
to lie among tho rubbish of musty libraries; while
titf efforts of drivelling sennenlzer* nnd poeta
sters were read, rehoarsed nud listened to with
avidity. To the credit of Christian suporatition,
ghosts, dreams and witches, were never in more
veritable demand; nnd civil and domestic wars
never decked their color* nor dyed their weapons
in blood of purer fraternal vermilion red. Uni
versal rdugliness of manner* became polite; aud
the Judge could, in' Billftigsgato language, re vita
a prisoner before a single accusation wus proven
against him.
We arc not to write an eulogy upon tho Stage,
but we reprobate that miserable, contracted spi
rit, which intends to drive people into, ail ubsurd
superstition, by excluding them from every spe
cies of amusement aud innocent past-timo, and by
confining diem eternally to thu noise, confusion,
runt and nonsense of u conventicle.
This much, however* we will say in behalf of
the Stage, and we challcnlio any one of intelli-
f fonce and truth to deny its verity; Tho Stage
tas ever preceded aud accompanied refinement iu
inamiers, purity of taste and revival of literature
and of the nrts and sciences. Its most splendid
triumphs have been in the presence of tho most
enlightened and froe governments. Tyrants cf
all hinds lmve been the firstto fear nml denounce
dm Stage, unless indeed they could prostitute it
tn their interest. Home ofthe moat distinguish
ed men—men of tho greatest variety aud most
masterly talents, nnd mm of sterling principle too,
have written for it; and considered their success,
n*it truly was, tho pledgo of their immortal fame.
Munkind requires amusements, relaxation, and
easy excitement of mind and feeling, and in snmo
way or other, they will have it—the Theatre in all
lar£e chics nnd towns, presents it ou a large nnd
rational scale, and cheaper than can bo obtained in
any otiior way. THALIA.

Calling Out.—A leader of die orchestra of a
provincial theatrical company iu England, object
ed very much to going into n certain town. How-
over, the company wont there, and on tho first
night he had senreely taken his seat, when aonio-
body in tho gallery cried, “ Who tawed the man’s
leg off." Next night, and every night after, an
other and unothnr cull came, und tho last call no
louder than din former. At length tho leader
sent in his resignation. “ I can hear it no longer,
*uid he to the manager. “ I was once u small tin-
dertukor ill diis twon, aud having inismousurad a
coffin for dio workhouse, 1 was obligoii to cut oil'
the legs of the corpse to put them iu it. Th a gi t
air, and hy tiiis cry tiicy hooted me out of town.”
Touch ofthe Suhslime.—“ It was a dork nnd dis
mal night, die wiud howled mournfully, die light
ning shook it* fiery tresses through tho air, loud
psals of thunder followed in. quick succession,
ruin ami hail full from the clouds like gems from
un overburdened* casket, aud un awful sublimity
pervaded all nature, when Eugene Sommers,
with his horrid purpose at heart, and the weapon
of destruction firmly grasped in his hund, stole
forth, like an assassin, to kill—bed bugs!"
A Sneeze.—The following free translation from
tho Itnliun would, we think, he a capital subject
for soma of our musical composers to exorcise
their talents upon:
What a moment! what a doubt!
All my nose is inside out,
All my thrilling, tickling,caustic,
Pyramid Klunocerostic,
Wants to sneeze, and cannot do ill
Now it yearns mo, thrills mo, stings me,
Now with rapturous torment wrings mo,
Now,says, ‘Sneeze, you fool; get through it.’
Shee—Shee—oh’tis most doI-isA /
/*/«—irhi—most del-ia/ii,
(Hang it I shall snooze till spring,)
Snuff's a most delicious thing.

tho following, from the Paris correspondent of
that journal under dute of the 12th. Wo give
place to it with much pleasure, as the young
lady mentioned is a Philadelphian hy birth, und
ono whoso precocious nud remarkable talents
oxcitcd hero strong admiration long before they
received tho polish of European instruction.—
PhUadtJphia National Gazette,
Brother Jonathan is ahold man, it is not three
years *inco n citizen of tho United States—to wit,
a Philadelphian—advertised himself a* arrived in
Paris to—do what, think you!—dress hair, shave,
aud make false toupees! and this in the terrr.
cUmujut of harbors, coiffeurs,and cnifftise*'. This
was passed over because oj'tlie ancient frendsliip
of the two countries. Mark the consequence.
Last nighfnpnearcd on the hoards of tho Acade
mic ftoyufc do Musiqnc candidate for the crown
of Tagjioni in the person of a young American
lady of the iiaino of Augusta Maywood. Never
was there a more successful debut.
Tho vouug lady in question i*, it is said, only
in her 15th year, yet possesses so muck vigor
and daring as to attempt all that wc havo boon ac
customed to see done by Paul, Albert, and Perrot.
Do not believe, however, that in this masculine dis
play was comprised all merit of the youthful
debutante, for she contributed to unite to it ail tho
grace, and agility of tho Tuglinni. Sho is unuoim-
cod for a second appearance to-morrow night,
when, should «Iiq again, enchant, ns sho did l ist
night, intoxicate tho aitdieuco it may fairly ho
concluded that her claim to the unbounded ap
plause she received is fairly lior due, for ill criticism
on diis species of performances tho French
ore rarely, porlmp* nover, influenced by extrinsic
X inhties und consideration*. That she will conic
rough this second ordeal successfully 1 myself
have noboubt, for she is a most surprising child.
Tho only misgiving that need be cntertainnilro-
pects the expediency of producing olio so von tig
m accruer requiring m rivicU^iby-uad ulvengih,
LullingAVrigUting.—A French wifo wrote this
affectionate nud laconic letter to her husband :
“ Jevous eeris parccrjnrjc n'ai rien af lire: Jcfinis,
pareequeje n’ai rim a dire."—I write to you, be
cause I have nothing to do: I end my letter, be
cause I have nothing to soy.
Cheap Enough.—“ What did you give for that n djpl
horse?” inquired a friend ofthe fiicutiuu* Mr. B.,
us he was riding hy. “ My note,” was the signi
ficant reply; “ wasn’t that cheap enough!",
Atu wedding up town, a few evenings since,
after the clergyman had united the happy pair, au
awful silence ensued, which becoming rather irk
some to a young mail; ho cxcluimed.you. need uo
he so un.yculiably happy."
A great lie, says Cr.thbo,is like abig fish on dry
land. It may fret nnd fling nml make a frightful
pother, hut it can’t bite you. Yon have only to
let it lie still, und it will dio quietly of itself
What an exquisitely delicate precept is that of
die Hindoo law which says, “ .Strike not, even
with n blossom, a wife, tiiough she ho guilty of an
hundred faults.”
