WASHINGTON MARCH 23, 1830.
To CorrespondedTs. — “A Gtorglan” is on
file. He treats of facts, and recognizes certain
individuals, as having participated iu certain
matters, As we are unacquainted with those
facts, we cannot assume the .responsibility of au
thorship. Our columns are open to the injured
and oppressed, and no man or set of men, no
matter w hat may be their wealth, rank or influ
ence can induce us to close them against the just
and reasonable demands of the lowest individual
in community. In the present instance the real
name of the author is required, (as in all other in
stances where facts are related,) before we can
give him a hearing. We ireignornnt ot the mat
ter and if called on could make no defence.
Extract of a letter from the Superinfendant of
Roads and Rivers of the Eastern division, to
the Editor, dated Augusta, 20th March 1830.
“It may not be uninteresting to y'u and your
readers, to understand that a road has been de
signated by the City Council of this place, for the
operation of the public hands, destined for the
north western line from this point. This road is
the one leading hence to Columbia court house,
(Applingj—thence on by Cobhatn, to Washing
ton, crossing Little liver near Fish-dam Ford,
on condition that the counties of Wilkes and Co
lumbia will erect a safe, convenient and durable
bridge over the l iver at that place. This condi
tion ft is hoped will be promptly accepted and
complied with.”
Ih a preceding column we have inserted a few
sections of the general Ordinance of this town re
gulating fall’©}. We recommend all citizens
within the town and cprporyt limits to peruse
them, in order that a fair understanding upon
the subject may exist
In another column we have given the proceed
ings which took place in the Senate of ttye United
States upon the subject of our Indian Affairs.
Pur delegation in Congress are constantly on the
alert and no opportunity re suffered to pass with- :
d U i one or another, &in some jiista.icc* hc whole
of them raising their voice in defence ofjhe just
rights of the WMc. On the bill inst. Mr. Eop-
SYTifmoveiUp print for the use of Ihe Senate,
the rejnonstrance of the State of Georgia ofl 787,
against treaties previously formed by the United
States with the Indians in the jurisdiction of Geor-
and against the intercourse law of 179t>}
and ihc repoi i of the Jtioijse of Representatives
Ot Georgia, of tlpc 11th February, 1786. Ai a
ynendmeut was proposed by Mr. Frcimghuysev,
a:>d a discussion took place, after which the po
rtion taken by RJr. Forsyth w§ agreed to, as
will be seen by the proceedings iu qnother co
luran,

Troup, and our Representatives Messrs, Wayne,
Lumpkin, Willie, Lainqr, Haynes, h'ikyiapson,
{or several important documents, iic. and to
whom we return ou p thanks. Anions the doeu
ments we have the report retative“to Sunday
Mails, presented by ftfr Johnson, of Kentucky
from the Committee on fust Pfiices and fust
Roads, to whom the lutd been referred
The report is an able one, andporrectly sets forth
the unconstitutionally of Congress to interfere,
or legislate upon any matter tsuding to affect tl: :
conscience of a singl.e individual. Those favora
ble to the stoppage of the mail on the Sabbath,
allege among other reasons, that they being con
tcieuciously opposed thereto cannot participate
in the profits of the mail contracts. Profit seems
to be a part of their hearts desire, gmd necessa
rily leaves the impression that it is wholly gain,
and not virtue or religion that stimulates to ac.
tion. Upon the same principle,” those holding
that the seventh, and not the first day qf the
week, is the true and holy day, might with equal
propriety, and have demanded that the mail
should rest on that day, and equally just would
he their complaint, that they were prevented
from participating in the profits of mail contracts
in consequence of being competed by law, in the
event of their acceptance to violate their con
science. And yet these conscientious petitioners
who oppose the running of the mail on Sunday,
have no desire that it should also be stopped ou
Saturday. They care not for the rights of con
science in others, or how many profits others may
he debarred the privilege of participating in;
give them all they ask and they are content.
Praises to the Most High,our Government is no
resplwor of persons. ‘The high and the hv,
the rich and the poor ore alike in the eye of go
vernment, and the Jew and (.entile, Pagan Mu
home-duty, or ( bristian arealike privileged ,to pay
homage to the Great Creator of all, in the man
ner their conscience may dictate, without the
fear of the bayonet, or the dread of the rack.
This is the only,govcrnment upon earth free front
Religious bondage, and we should always be sen
gitivelv alive, to the first step that in the meet re
mote degree might tend to unite Church and
State, in this, our happy and only free coun
try in the world. No matter how innocent
the intention of those opposed to us may be, it
is our duty to contend with them at the very
threshold, if we believe the effect destructive.
Out government lias nothing to do with religious
enactments, audit is a blessing that our Constitu
tion has provided a barrier that cannot he remo
ved A wall of pat tition is raised from the earth
so the Heavens between politics and religion and
Congress cannot interfere witli the rights of con
science. The report will no doubt be received by
mu-lean overwhelming majority iu the House,
that it will put the matter at rest. In our next we
intend to lay it before our readers, iu order that j
tjt.-y nutv judge as wo would have tlieut lo do, j
for thmsclves.
The other documents received wjll lie attended j
(yi io a future number. I
From the Banner qf the Constitution.
An intelligent correspondent in Philadelphia,
who insists upon it, that if the sense of the inha
bitants of that city w ere fliirly taken, Unconnect
ed with party considerations, it majority would
be found opposed to the present high duties, has
taken occasion to put us upon our ghard, against
the admission: which lie thinks the Southern peo
ple have too much fallen into, that the party con
stitutes a majority of the Amiriean people. He
believes, that the fact is otherwise, and, upon re
flection, we are not sure that he is far wrong. At
ail events ..-VC think that a calculation would shew,
that the parties arc not so unequally divided, as
many people imagine, for it must be kept in mind,
that it, in the Middle and Northern States, there
is a majority in favor of the tariff policy, there is
in the Southern and South Western Stales,, a voice
almost unanimousagaius it.
Extract from a general Ordinance of the Town
of Washington as revised and amended by the
Board of Commissioners January‘lllh 1830.
Section 61.—The patrol shall have
power to cuter peaceably any privute
enclosure, and to search any negro
house, but shall commit no Violence

And if any person of colour shall he!

tipned, they shall commit them to {he j
Guard House, or such other places
as the board may direct, and there j
to remain until their owners, or em
ployers take them out, upon paying j
all expenees, and fifty cents for their j
release to the marshal, And it shall’

lars.
Section 04.- —Thp papluin shall

<tfter each putro) pig hi to the Seere.-
tary, of all persons ill his section v. ho
may have ..failed U> servo; of which

Os thp amount of gold bullion, de
posited at the Mint, within the last
year, about §131,000 were received 1
from Mexico, youth America, and I
the West Indies; $22,000 from As-!
rica; about $12,1)00 from sources not
ascertained; and the residue, about!
$134,000 from North Carolina, and!
the adjacent States of SouthCarolipq
and Virginia. The proportion from
North Carolina may be stated at
$128,000; from South Carolina, at
$3,000, and that from Virginia, ut
$2,500.
The first notice of gold from North
Carolina, on the records of the ..lint,
occurs in the year 1804, within which
was received to the amount of sll,-
000. )t continued to be received
timing the succeeding years, untill
1824 inclusive, in varying amounts,
all inferior however to tiiat of th,e
year first mentioned, and on an av
erage not exceeding $2,400 yearly*
In 1824, the amount received was
$5,000; in 1825, it had increased
to $17,000 ; in 1826, it was $20,000,
in 1827, about $21,000; and in 1828,
nearly $46,000. In 1829, as above
stated, it was $128,000.
This remarkable increase in the
amount of goltl received fiom North
Carolina, during Hie ydars fallowing
1824, has been considered of suffi
cient interest to be rioted iu the au
ual reports of the Mint, since that
period.—The circumstance will at,
tract additional attention, from the
fact now ascertained, that the gold
region of thp fi. S. extends far be-j
jyond the locality to which it lias here-]
toforc appeared to he limited. Gold
bullion had not been received from
Virginia, or South-Carolina, until tlx]
last year ; or, if at all received it hat]
been in quantities too inconsiderably
to have been specially noticed. Th
gold from all thesq localities is found,
in its native State, to be, on an av
erage, nearly of the same fineness
us the standard ot our gold coin.—
! Raleigh Register.
J Fy the report of the Inspector of
the PenTeiitiary of this state for the
J fourth quarter of the past year, it
appears* that it has during the w hole
year been conducted without expanse
to the state, leaving at its dose a ba
lance of cash on hand of 2,313 dol -
lars 17 cents, or $246 54 morp than
at the same period of the preceeding
year. The number of convicts re
jceived during the year was 31—the
discharges on expiration of sentence
] 10, pardoned 9. and died 4.
I From the statement of die aeounts
jof the prison, it appears that “if the
Institution ran collect promptly ail
i the debts that are tint; it on the bnsi
j uess of (he year 1829, and a small
i sum of the debts duo to it on the old
business—-,k> the same business iu all
pespests for the year 1830, that it
has done foi 1829—that is, make the
same amount of cash saloe-rrthe same
j amount of sales on credit, and the
j same amount of collections from
these sales, it may, at tlioendof 1830,
i huye supported itself, have paid all
| the debts, within a small sum, due
i by it since the first of J 829, and have
I the tneans of goiiig ou in the year
j 1831, prosperously, and without ex
pense to the Btate.”

| Fish store but a tough oue. —Some
j twenty five years’ago a Mr. 8, .of
j tliis town. \yh<> was then at Sirtscon
sej, sent some codfish to his father in
town. On dressing one which had
j a poke unusually largo a younger

j had a rvffialtQ open the poke, when
to his and his father’s astonishment,
lie found pi it an open jack Ipuile,
handle and blade eight inches in
length which the fish had swallowed
point foremost. On examining the
knife, E. fi. were discovered .marked
on the handle, when the lad exch.iin
ptj ’tis uncle Eben fJardnpr’s? The
boy hastened to the supposed ownei,
to inquire if he had lost any thing.
Being answered in the negative, be
then questioned his uncle if lie had
lost a knife. His reply was, that
when fishing 8 or 10 days before he
lost a jack-luiife overboard, east of
Bassrip. When asked to describe
the knife, it soon appeared fully e
vident that the knife found in the
fish’s poke was the one lie lost. The
boy who found the knife is now one
of our most respectable citizens, from
whom we had, within a few davs
