HORRID MUX I)ER !

.London, elq. was lliot off of his horlea*
he was returning homejlrorn a neighbor's
•within shout a quarter of a mil eof his
own houle. It was immediately dif
covcr.d by one ot his negroes who wat
a ftr.all dirtance behind him, and who
alarmed the neighbors. It appeared on
examining his wound* and bom every
r.cediary evidence that lie had been
twice (hot ; the contents of one gun
lodged in his bowels, the other in the
brealf, the whole amounting to 51 (hot.
.Yninquelt was held over the body and
?fcer taking many affidavits on the fub
j.ct, the jury gave it a, their decided o
p.uion, that ne tv3 wilfully rourdertd
by one Lewis Magahagan, with an ac

been two theatirocious act. J
Megatltagaii had already concealed
tiimlelf or gone away so as not to be
found; a party ot men went immediate

linn on Friday. He was a near neighbor
to Mr* London, and the C.lpute, which
1. appears ..as been the oeatu ot Mr. L.
is (aid to hove anlen from nothing more
coulequential than the (hooting of a
dog mat rud'heen somewhat truubltfome
to Mr- London and belonged to Maga
liagan. Mr. London was about 48
years of age—He had for many years
iupported the belt of characters and fil
led lome ot the molt relptdtable and
i.lponiible poifß that couio tie conferred
on lain by the citizens of Effingham
County. He had Uncharged Lis official

Connecticut federaliim is like a manu
facturing town in a great country; it
makes every thing witnin itleif, has a
great deal to export and nothing to im
port ; hence has hitherto k. pt the ba
lance in it* favor. Whenever a ltory is
necessary for proxies, it is at once made,
not from auy raw tnaierial, but trom no
thing ; iu this the feceralilt differ from
other manutadtures, who mult always
have something to make lomcttnng of.
At one time a French fleet has come
to demand 6 millions of dollars ; at an
other tile Spaniards are upon us, and our
vessels are alt in .he dry docks—or l'o
pery is about to be eitab i(h;a 111 Louis

fcten mi.ffacrtd, or Bonaparte is dead and
all hi* army surrendered—or ih. faiarits
of public eific-rs are raffed, or lome
democrat has ulurpcd the place of Luci
fer, or lome federal lawyer has become a
real chrfftian.
There is a great deal of reeling, cross
twitting, and throwing of the Ihuttle by
theft federal manufactures jutt before
proxies ; but as the whole is made of no
thing. it comes to nothing soon after
proxies, so that it cannot be said of these
manufactures, this work lies a great while
in their hands.
If the question in this country now
were, ‘whether to revive fedetalifm and

would honeitly own that, he

When he talked about energetic gov

We learn that the counterfeiters have
adopted anew method of effecting their
nefarious defigna. Finding themfeSves
incompetent to imitate the filling and
liguing of bank notes, so as to referable
the writing and denatures to the true
notes, they now engrave on their plates
the name in the- bony of the note and the
iignatures, in imitation of writing. Our
informant has seen two fpecitnens of
these counterfeit notes. One of them
was a Newark bank note cj One Dollar

was wholly engraved except the number.
The paper was whiter than the genuine
note, and the engraving much inferior,

which was faintly and very badly done.
