We shall then expose to sale in Macon, to tiie highest bidder, in conformity with a late act of the General Assetn -1)1r * * All the town* lots not heretofore disposed of; upwards of one hundred in number; on ihe western side of the river : among them are twelve adjoining the river, and a few otiier choice lots tor business. The residue are in more retired situa tions. and generally ufi'ord good building sites in a pleasant and growing part oi the town. Forty-two gardening lots of lu and 20 acres each; laid out from l to 1 1-2 miles distant from the town in two ranges around the V\ estern Com mon. Also, twenty eight lots on tne Eastern side: that is to say, 4 of twenty, 8 of ten acres, and In of one acre each. These last include ihe place some times known as Newtown; and will be sold, sub ject to certain leases from the United States, to expire next January. The residue of the lands in the two reserves, are lad out in tracts of 100 acres, and fractional parts or such tracts. Os these, the uplands will be next olfered; the last numbers first; beginning with those on the western side. On Wednesday th* 22d of October next, at 41 o'clock A. Nl. will be olfered at the place of the other sales, the BRIDGE AT MAC OX, Together with one acre of land on the eastern side of the Ocniulgee river, as one of the hutments ; and the privilege of using so much of Fitth or Brid-re street on the western bank as may be ne cessary for the other hutment of the Bridge. On i hursday the 2ud of October, we shall pro ceed to sell the swamp and bottom lands within the Reserves, those on the Western side first; and continue from day to dav until completed. The particular numbers that will be sold on each day cannot be specified ; but it is intended to put up the several kinds and descriptions in the order here mentioned. The Reserves are generally well watered and contain several good mill seats. The area of the whole cannot be exactly know i until the platting is completed ; but twenty-one thousand acres is the estimated quantity contained in both Reserves and the adjoining fractions, exclus.ve of the town surveys. Perhaps no body of land of the same extent can be 1- und that embraces a greater va riety in its surlaee, soil and timber. Situated just in that region where the pine of the lower country changes to the oak and hickory of the upper : it includes both these growths, and soils in most of their varieties; m some portions entire, in others interspersed or blended. 1 racts of very hilly land, or that winch is quite level, or gently undulating, may he hid of almost every quality ; either of oak aim hick iy. or pine, or river lands; and several of these kinds occasionally united ; in tracts of 100 acres and fractions of various sizes, adapted to most of the purposes for which land is wanted. From the pressure of the times ; and more es pecially from the quantity of lands and town lots, that w ill have been lately in the market, these must unavoidedly sell low. And, lying at the head of navigation, immediately around the third town of the State in population and trade, there is every reasonable prospect of their soon rising in value. Purchasers have now an opportunity, and appa parcntly the last tiiat will soon oiler, of obtaining on cheap and very indulgent terms of payment, ch- •ice situations for residence, for tiade or for farming. TERMS OF SALE. Purchasers of lands and lots are to pay the Com missioners on the day of the purchase, one fifth part of the purchase money in Cash or current bills of chartered banks of this State ; and the re sidue in tour equal annual instalments.

By accounts from dilferent sections of the state, it appears evident, that the attention of our citizens has at length been partially aroused to the neces sity of Domestic Manufactures. Bv a paragraph in the Milledgeville Patriot it appears that two enterprising individuals of that place, in connex ion with a distinguished citizen of Jefferson coun ty, have already made arrangements for the com mencement of the good work. Public toasts*giv en at different, places, also indicate an increasing interest in the subject. In Macon, among the set toasts, on the 4th July, was the following: — u Georgia Nature has given us a genial climate, fertile soil, and redundant streams: let our future contest be, who first and best shall use them for. our prosperity and happiness.” Among the vol unteers we notice the following :—By J. G. Sey mour—•“ Domestic industry: the only constitu tional bulwark against an oppressive tariff.” By Maj. M. Robertson—“ May all the cotton alluded to in the above toast [all that is floated from Ma con to Savannah] be packed in bagging made of cotton, and manufactured in this State.” The preface to the Resolutions adopted at the meeting at Milledgeville says —•“ Let us turn the shaft of oppression against the oppressor, by the investment of our capital and labor in manufac tures,” &.C. The intelligent editor of the Statesman & Pa triot urges the policy of domestic manufactures with great ability and perseverance ; the editors of the Journal are also decidedly in favor of do mestic manufactures as a means of evils of the Tariff. A writer in the Hancock Ad vertiser, makes the following remm ks al most every direction our independent and high minded citizens are, at last, to take tins subject [domestic manufactures] into serious con sideration. In support of the stand we should take, it may be urged that our northern brethren can well afford to pay in commission, transporta tion, &c. 30 per cent ou our raw material; man ufacture it, transport it back to Georgia, and re aze from their sales a handsome profit. By the time it reaches the consumer, he who is the grow er ofthe staple, for the same goods, pays in many instances 30, 40, and 50 cents a pound for the same cotton which he has previously sold for 7,8, and 0 cents. I have not leisure now to make nice arithmetical calculations, nor do I conceive it nc cessary. A single glance at the subject, by the most uninformed, will be sufficient for my pur pose.’’ “We may complain of the Tariff—hold public meetings—denounce the decisions of Con gress—threaten to secede from the Union ; but aij will not do. We have abetter remedy.” ‘‘Eel us at cnee make use of the means which we hav in abundance to manufacture our own goods raise our own horses, hogs. &c. dividing our labor between agriculture and manufactures, and Geor gia would soon become one of the most indepen dent states of the Union.” Several writers in the Charleston papers have also taken up the subject with great ability and zeal. And indeed through the whole of the southern States public opinion is begining to flow in the proper channel The editor ofthe Milledgeville Recorder states, that “ the district of country round Milledgeville, including a territory of forty or fifty miles square, is indebted to the banks to the amount of Tico Mil lions of Dollars !” And we do not suppose that other sections of country, where there have been banks with money to lend, are much behind those in the vicinity of Milledgeville. Now it is in such sections of country, where the people feel the pressure of the times, that the most noise is heard about the oppression of the Tariff. Individuals who are in debt beyond their ability to pay, who owe more money than they can raise, even on a sale of all their property —begin to find out that something is wrong somewhere —they become a lar-ned at the signs ofthe times —and are easily made to listen to the complaints against the Ta riff. They hear politicians “say that it is the Ta riff which has brought the country to this pass, and they join in execrations of it. without calmly considering whether they are right or wrong. — if these individuals would take time for reflection, they would perceive that the deplorable situation ofthe country has been brought about by the im prudent. practice of taking credit—of borrowing from banks, which has so generally prevailed through the country ; and that very little, if any, ofthe distress which prevails, can be traced to the operations of the Tariff. The time has now arrived when the people of the Southern States arc seriously called on “to calculate the cost of the union, and to enquire of what use is this most unequal alliance.” And there are many politicians among us who seem to have settled the matter among themselves, and to have arrived at the conclusion, that the value of the union is not equal to the burdens it imposes; ad are therefore clamorous in recommending a dissolution of “this most unequal alliance.” If however the people of the Southern states arc disposed to “calculate,” let them look at both sides of account, and at all the entries, for and against, and not strike their balance upon the re view merely of a single item. Let them it they choose, place on the one side the burdens impos ed by the TariiF, the duty on a yard of Broadcloth, and let them make the most of it. And on the other Jhand, let them count the cost of seceding from the union. Should Georgia or South-Carolina undertake to set up for themselves the first step would he to raise an army, ol suffi cicn* force to maintain their u state rights.” As a withdrawal from the tuiion would be tanta mount to a declaration of war against all the other states; and actual war would immediately ensue. The expense of supporting a vast army SA VANN AH SATURDAY MOUSING, JULY 19, 1828. would weigh very heavy against a yard of British Broadcloth. Our Commerce would be entirely cut off; for the Champions of‘-state rights” no navy, no shipping. Let this item also be put down against the yard of broadcloth. Having no foreign com merce, no domestic manufactories our cotton would become a useless thing—we could neither sell abroad nor manufacture at home—it would rot in our fields. Let this also be set down against the yard of broadcloth. After the anni hilation of commerce, the expenses of government, of the immense military force necessary to repel invasion from without and keep down insurrection within, could only be defrayed by resorting to internal taxes. Let the amount of these taxes be “calculated” and set down against the yard of broadcloth. This is but a single leaf from the Ledger: but let it be “calculated” and summed up, and we will go on with the account. W e are glad to perceive by the moderate tone of the leading papers in South Carolina, that the iniflammatory spirit, which pervaded the meeting in Colleton district, and which bubbled over like a bottle of porter, at some ofthe 4th July dinners, has not extended far into the interior of that en lightened and patriotic State. The hearts of the people are on the right side, and they will abide by the Constitution of their country, and the union of the States. * The following toast, drank on the 4th of July in Augusta, may be considered as an official com munication. By W. 11. Terrance: “ George M - Intosh Troup, the late worthy and distinguished Governor of Georgia—may he soon fill a seat in the Senate of the United States.” This is what is called feeling the pulse. An Anti-Tariff meeting was held at Milledge ville on the 3d mst. But we are happy to observe that it did not partake of that intemperate charac ter which has distinguished similar meetings in our sister State. The resolutions adopted recom mend the use of homespun as a means of avoiding the evils ofthe TariiF. We learn from the Augusta Papers, that an Ad ministration meeting was held at Wrightsboro, in Columbia county, on the 4th inst. John Quincy Adams, and Richard Rush, were recommended for President and \ ice President; and Col. Thomas Murray, sen. of Lincoln county, and John Burch, Esq of Wilkes county, were nominated for candi dates for electors of President and Vice Presi dent. There is no evidence that either of these gentlemen had assented to become candidates ; we presume they will not. They must be too well acquainted with the real state of public opinion, to indulge the least hope of success. A magnificent spectacle was exhibited at Balti more on the 4th July, in the ceremony of laying ‘he corner stone ofthe Baltimore and Ohio Rail Road,which is intended to conruct the waters of he Ohio with the City ofßaltinnre. The Coin nbus Enquirer state? that the fields in that section of country, hold oit the prospect of a rich harvest, to reward the labors ofthe planter; and that should the weather coitinue favorable, that an ample sufficiency df con will be made in the late acquired territory, to supply all those who may wish to emigrate. Smuggling. — Major Clark, th* vigilant Collec tor of the Port of St. Mary’s, lias, we have been informed, lately defeated an attunpt to smuggle into t hat port a cargo of Coffee aid Cigars. The brig Lawrence, of Mobile, hac arrived at that place from Havana, and coinmoiccd transferring her cargo to a small sloop, and tom thence land ing it on the northern branch oi the St. Mary’s. The nature of the transaction was soon communi cated to Major Clark, who seizid upon both ves sels. Very little doubt existed of its being con demned. The Captain of the brig had absconded to Florida. The Knoxville (Tennessee, Enquirer, in notic ing the proposition of some ts our politicians to prohibit the introduction of hogp, horses, &c. from Western states, has the folio wing remarks : “ YVe will say to the people h the south, who seem to think us wholly dependant on them, that unless our horse drovers, our ea tie drovers, hog drovers, Ac. meet with better encouragement than they did last season, they neec not put them selves to the trouble of amending tkeir “ pedling ” laws. Our worthy and persevering citizens, who visited the southern markets last season, have ge nerally been much injured, and many of them ir retrievably ruined. You must leara to give our hog drovers, Ac. a better price, and pay them more punctually, before you undertake to violate the Constitution, by making them pay a tax upon their hogs, Ac. when driven to your market.” The Clairborne, (Alabama) Herald says:—“On looking over the Acts of Congress for the last ses. sion, we cannot but remark the spirit ofliberality displayed towards our own state. The grant of four hundred thousand acres of re linquished and unappropriated Lands, lying near the Tennessee river, to the State of Alabama, for the improvement of the navigation of the Black Warrior, Cahawba, Coosa and Tennessee rivers, together with the appropriations of twenty thou sand dollars for Mobile Point for the first quarter of 182°, eight thousand fire hundred dollars to the building a Custom House at Mobile, the er ection of a Lighthouse at Choctaw Point, and a Beacon on Sand Island, “speak a disposition to foster anew and rising community worthy of a national legislature.” SUMMARY". The Charleston Courier states as an evidence ofthe present state of moral quiet and individual indulgence in that community, that there are at this time but six white persons within the walls of the prison—four for minor offences against the peace, and two for debt. A public dinner was given by tho citizens of Lexington, (Ken.) on the 23d ult. to MatthewCa- rey, Esq. of Philadelphia, “ as a testimony of their grateful sense of his patriotic exertions in behalf of the ‘ American System,’ and those great Nation al Interests connected with the prosperity of the agricultural and laboring classes,” Eight hundred Ancient Coins, collected in Greece, Rome, Asia Minor,&c. Ac some of them 3000 years old, are offered for sale at Providence, by Mr. Stoddard. • The New Haven (Conn.) Herald says “As it has been publicly announced that the late President of the Eagle Bank was committed to j.ail at the suit ofthe agents of that institution, on a claim of something like $1,500,000, so it is equally proper to state that he has been discharged and set at li berty as we understand, on a full and satisfactory compromise with the said agents.” On Friday the 27th ult. George W. Youngs, Esq late of Albany, and formerly engineer and superin > tendent on the Erie and Northern Canals, was drowned in the Hudson, near his residence at Ban dy Hill, Washington County. It is supposed he must have slipped from the rocks while fishing. 1 His body was found on Sunday. lie had pure ia i sed a largu and valuable property, which he con templated improving. The Wallen Factory at Ridgefield, (Conn.) a bout 12 miles from Norwalk, was destroyed by fire on Sunday evening 23th ult. The basis ofthe mediation of England between Brazil and Buenos Ayres, is affirmed, in the Lon don papers, to be the erection of the Cisplatine pro vince, or Banda Oriental, into an independent state. ~ v AU for love. —A young woman of Doylestown Penn, about 25 years of age, Miss Sarah Singford committed suicide, on Friday week, by drowning herself in a mill pond. False promises of mar riage are said to have occasioned this catastro phe. The Count Pahlen, mentioned repeatedly of late, as the civil Governor destined for Moldavia and Wallachia, we believe is the same gentleman who was Minister to the United States a few years since. lie left here in 1822. He was impli cated in the conspiracy against the Emperor Paul, but is nevertheless, to all appearance, a man of great mildness of disposition ! Valuable Discovery —An ingenious tradesman at Falkirk, has discovered a method by which he can mould skins and leather to any shape, and make very elegant light summer hats of sheep skin, weighing 2 or 3 oz. varnished and rendered impervious to wet. lie likewise makes them of real skin with the hair on. Entire dresses, con sisting of a jacket and trowsers, have been furnish ed to various ships's companies, at so low a rate ;as 15s each. They are ol leather, dressed after a ! method which renders them impervious to rain, ’ and yet as pliant as a glove. 1 Fire in Xew- York. —We have received the fol lowing communication from our Correspondents, the editors of the Mercantile Advertiser, under date of July 4th. A fire broke out this morning about 2 o'clock, ’ and destroyed all the buildings on the South side of Deiancy street, between Essex and Norfolk i streets, and four or five on Norfolk street, in all, we understand, 22 houses, and an extensive lum ber yard, with a lare quantity of lumber. The houses were most of them two story brick front buildings, occupied as dwellings. We make a few extracts from a speech of Gen ; eral Taylor, the patriotic Governor of South Ca ’ roliea, made at the late celebration of oyr national anniversary at Columbia. They will, no doubt, be read with interest, and act as an extinguisher on the hot schemes of the Colleton politicians : I “ This is a national festival got up for no one : i the arrival of this anniversary of our National In ! dependence, cheers and opens the hearts of all true Americans: there should be no concealments when we meet to celebrate anevent that we hope, fondly hope, will affect with the most benign in -5 fluence, the destiny of our country for centuries to come, in the spirit of this frankness, I thank I you for the kind sentiments you have expressed concerning my public conduct, and as is much excitement on some of the measures of the General Government, 1 presume it is expected that 1 should have no concealments on this sub ject. “ It is true the late Tariff, and all the Tariffs of Congress, enacted to regulate the labour of the ci tizens, to control them in the choice of professions and pursuits, possess the very essence of tyranny. They are unjust in taking out of the pockets of one class of citizens to enrich another. They are not in consonance with either the Letter or the Spirit ol’ the Constitution of the United States.— It is our bounden duty to ourselves, and to poste rity, to strive by all fair means, to cause them to be repealed, and by our industry, economy, and self-denial, to render them, as much as possible, inoperative upon ourselves. To those who would go farther, and 1 believe there are none such pre sent, 1 would say, “ look to the improvements of our neighboring States, aggrieved as well as we are by these laws.” Has North Carolina, Geor gia or V irginia, advocated the measure of conven tions among the injured States ; of withdrawals of Senators and Representatives from the floor of Congress ? Shall South Carolina, propelled by rashness, start alone for the goal, in the expecta tion that other states will follow ? No, Gentle men, our own citizens would not follow their lea ders, if their leaders should commit this folly. The Legislature of the St ate of Pennsylvania once, (in Oimstead’s case) undeitook to resist the authority of the General Government; Governor Snyder was directed, by resolution, to resist with all the power of the State- He ordered out a brigade of militia to prevent the serving of a pro cess, emanating from the authority of the General Government. The streets of Philadelphia were filled with armed men. the brigade of militia on one side, and tiie Marshall and his posse comitatus on the other. The sober thinking part of the com munity were in agonizing expectation of the re sult. The women hugged closer to their bosomy their infants, in fear of the horrors of the civil strife, about to be commenced ; when 10, and be hold, a back door was opened, the Marshall admit ted to the dwelling of the defendant; the pro cess served ; the tront door opened ; this event announced, and the brigade and the posse comi tatus simultaneously dismissed. Not to bear hard upon our respectable sister state, it is but fair to acknowledge, that if Pennsyl* ania was conquer ed, she was conquered by her own citizens—it was the good sense ofthe community, correcting the rashness of themselves, after they had had time to reflect. This severing of a member from an established confederation, is not so easy a matter as some seem to think. The project I meet with in some of our newspapers of forming conventions; of withdrawing our Senators and Representatives, will repeal no law or treaty now binding upon the whole. Those who act. under the authority df the General Government, if they do their duty, must on its performance, bring the two authorities into collision. There is no eluding the question ; it would arise the first hour after the dissolution is attempted, and then . But I will not go on. The picture or rather the reality ought to be veiled, forever veiled from our eyes. 1 do not yet despair of the republic, I cannot believe that the strongest motive which actuated the state in forming this confederation, can long be lost sight of, l mean our foreign commercial relations ; 1 believe that when this regulating of commerce, so much relied on, shall be lound to have destroyed it ; that our General Government will retrace her steps. I well remember when Mr. Jefferson and a majority of the wise men of the nation maintained, that by commercial restric tions and embargoes, he could bring Great Bri tain to terms, in other words that it was a substi tution for war. At this day. how many advocates could you find for this mode of making war ? The opinion is gone out as completely as the opinion of that Pope and Conclave, who condemned Gal lileo to the inquisition for saying that this world of ours was round. Our representatives in Congress demonstrate with too much success, that with the present mi nority, they can afford us no relief, and still 1 rely on the ballot box : when the nostrums of our po litical einpiricks shall have failed to bring down the showers ot gold into the laps of all the north, east and west, when our own energies and self-de nials shall have left them to bear tiie brunt, in pay ing the bounties they expect to wrest from us, when they see that we can and will raise our own horses, mules, cattle and hogs, and spin weave and wear our own homespun, and make our own iron, when they shall perceive that even among ourselves, these tariffs are calculated to make the rich still more rich, and the poor still more poor. Then the suffrages of the people and not of the great capitalists would tell. Then the cries of the /i/mMocked vankee sailor will be heard—“ I have not despaired, 1 see nothing yet to make me willing to give up the ship,” “ if I have any firmness, it will be exerted to preserve the union ; “ To preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of this State and of the United States.” “ If it were an easy matter to dissolve this Uni on, I would not for one, forego a participstion # of the glory which our fellow citizens of the Union have achieved; your uniforms ; your militar ar ray, remind me that you are brother militia men with those who fought on the plains of New Or leans; many of you the sons and grand sons of those who stood to army, when the birth of a na tion was to be sustained.” Litile Rock, (A. TANARUS.) June 4. An Execuli n. —On Saturday ev ning last, tiie awful sentence of death was car ried into effect, in the vicinity of this town, ’ on Jacob Strickland, a soldier of the 7ih regiment United States’ Infantry, who was convicted, at the last term of the su perior Court, of the Murder, at Canton ment Gibson, of his comrade Ueorge De con. Fa al Rencontre. —The mortifying and painful duty again devolves upon us, of re cording the fact, tiiat our unlucky and ill fated little town (already too notorious at home and abroad for such occurrences) lias unfortunately been the scene of another homicide. It took place on Saturday evening last, soon alter the execution of tlie wietched Strickland, in the store of Messrs. V* ilson Stewart, between Gen eral Edmund Hogan and Andrew Scott, Esq. late a Judge oi the Superior Court of tins Territory and resulted in the almost instant death of the former Having felt it a duty which we owe to the public to ; notice then suit of this unfortunate and melancholy occurrence justice to the liv ing perhaps demands that we should relate some of the circumstances under which it happened. T hey are hr it these. General Hogan and Judge Scott met at the above store, in company with a number of other persons, ail apparently in good humor. They had been competitors for a seat in the Legislative Council, at the last August election, and the conversation turned on some of the events of that can vass, which produced a few warm words between them General Hogan asserted something, which was denied by Judge Scott, on which 11. repeated the asset tion, and remarked that he could prove it.—t Judge S. replied’ in substance, tiiat the as certain was u.itiue, that it could not be proved, and that any person who made it was a liar! This reply was followed by a blow from Hogan which felled Scott to the floor, who, in rising, drew the spear from his cane, and gave Hogan four st. bs in the breast and sides, three of w hich w r ere mortal Hogan walked to the door com menced vomiting blood, and was a corpse in less than ten minutes! It may not, perhaps, be amiss to re mark, that General Hogan was a very large man, weighing considerably upwards of 200 pounds, with strength in propoition to It is size, and accustomed to athletic exercises ; while Judge Set U is a small man, rather below the middling stature, and unaccustomed to hardy employments or exercises. General Hogan w’ns a native of Georgia, and was a member of the Leg slarure of that State for several years in succession. He removed to Arkansas several years ago, while it formed a part ofthe Territory of Missouri, and was repeatedly honored with a seat in the Legislature of that Territory; and, since the organization ofthe Govern ment of this Territory, has been twice elected to a seat in its General Assembly, and was a member at the time of his death. He likewise held the office of Brigadier Ge* ii eral of the Militia ofthe Territory of Ar kansas for several years, under a commis sion from the President of she United States; and has repeatedly held the office of Justice of the Peace, and other civil ap pointments A few years ago he was in tJerald) easy circumstances, but of late years has been considerably embnri assed, and by his sudden death, has left a large and helpless family in a very destitute situation. The following is the report of the Cor ner’s Inquest which was held ou the body jf Gen. Hogan: Coroner s Report. —The Corner reports the rase of General Edmund Hog.n, who was killed, on Saturday evening last, in an affray with Andrew Scott, E-q Verdict of the Inquest: “That Edmund Hogan came to his death by means of four wounds, inflicted on his breast and sides, with a sword-cane, in the hands of Andrew Scott, after he [Scott] had been knocked or pushed down with the fiist or hand of the M.
