iienry clay. An example that few men will follow. —A near relative to Mr. Clay residing in his vi cinity, who lias been largely engaged in the purchase and manufacture of hemp for bagging and bale rope for the New Orleans market, by the fall in value and the etnbar assments of the times which have been le!t with prodigious force for a year past in the great southwestern Emporium, was lately tcompelledto make an assignment of his property to trustees for the benefit of all his creditors. The whole amount of his li abilities was near $50,000, about one half of which was due Mr. Clay for advances to enable the manufacturer to prosecute his business, so advantageous to the farming interests of Kentuck, with the hope of an improvement in the condition of things so that a suspension of the work and of pay ment might be avoided. The sale of the property took place ü bout a fortnight ago, and as usual in .such cases, attracted several hundred persons, and among them many of the creditors.— Mr. Clay then told them in substance, that the assignment was for the benefit of all the creditors, himself ‘included—that the a mountdue him was as large as all the oth er claimscokibined—that from the relation ship in wicli he stood to the debtor, it was probable some, and perhaps many of the creditors, had become such under the ex pectation that if any difficulty occurred, he /JSJr. Clay, would protect them—that al ’ though there was no ground whatever for asking him to do so, yet rather than that “any one should think ho had the slightest reason to complain of him, and, in order farther, that every debt due to others should he paid, he now released all interest under the assignment until every dollar due to others was paid, and then if any thing was left, lie would take it. The sale was made; the other creditors were all paid, and what little remained was all Mr, Clay got for his 825,000. How differed this from the ordinary course, when Mr. Clay being the confiden tial creditor, would have been first paid, and in this case the only one paid, and who but Henry Clay could be found, under such ; circumstances, to reject the whole or at a ny rate his share of the proceeds ? But this is a fair specimen of “Harry of the West,” both in public and private life. His country first, and himself last—the in terest of those men who without color of ’ right were suspected of having relied upon him, were to be preferred and his own post poned. Such specimens of high minded, honora ble conduct, occur so rani v, that for the honor of mankind they should he chronicled as set-offs, so far as they go, against the drawbacks upon it we every day see hap pening about us, and especially in these de generate days.— Cleveland (O.) Herald. NEWsl^^AZEffEr WASHINGTON, GA. THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1843. FOR PRESIDENT, wmi&x ___ The June Convention. It is desirable that a full representation from this portion of the State should be in attendance at the Whig Convention which is to meet on the 3d Monday in June at Milledgevilie ; our friends therefore would do well to make early preparation, by hold ing meetings in the course of next month, for the choice of Delegates. Several candidates for Governor have been suggested by the papers in various sections of the State—ail of whom are sound Whigs and of talents and, ability to do hon or to the office, and any one of whom, it is probable, the whole Whig party would zealously support. For ourselves, we should prefer CHARLES J. JENKINS, of Augusta, before any other whose name has been announced, and we think the people of this and the surrounding counties have tli,e same preference ; they will how ever cheerfully unite in support of'the candidate chosen by the Convention, hot doubting that that body will make such a selection as will most conduce to the har mony of the party, the honor of the State, and the ascendancy of Whig principles. In a fair fight and no humbug, any one of the Whigs proposed as candidates by the various papers can be elected, the only dif ficulty seems to be in selection among so many good men. That no contest may a risc in the Convention between different nominees ; that emulation may not degen erate into enmity,and thus divide the party, the opinions and preferences of the Dele gates should be known before they are en trusted to express the sentiments of their constituents in the Convention. There will of necessity be some difference of opinion in the Convention relative to the claims, character and abilities of the various nomi nees, but it is highly desirable that the candidate chosen should have a large ma jority of the votes —if chosen by a meagre plurality or majority, dissatisfaction is cer tain to ensue. Unanimity in the Conven tion will produce union and zeal among the phSty, and our friends in their choice of D/egates agreed as to men and measures, ca do much to produce unanimity. {O’The Charter Elections for Mayor and Conucil of the City of Augusta, took place on Monday. M. M. Dye, the Whig candidate for Mayor, was elected by a ma jority of 54 over Dr. Newton, his Democrat io opponent. The Connell is equally divi '|ed, six Whigs and six Democrats.

Better jus tify him, as all men of any generosity of feeling do, as the avenger of a deep and foul injury for which the law “the perfection of human reason,” affords no remedy. If Mer cer is hung, while cold blooded and villain ous assassinations like that lately perpetra ted in Augusta, are suffered to go unpun ished, then is justice entirely fled from the land. llayti. This beautiful and fertile Island, is now convulsed with a civil war. The negroes, who some years since, murdered their mas ters, obtained exclusive possession of the Island and formed a sort of republic gov ernment, (republican however only in name, as their slavery to their negro rulers was much more oppressive and severe than to their former masters,) have risen against Boyer, whom they had chosen President for life, and arc about todrivo him from power and perhaps into exile. Ai the latest accounts, the Insurgents had met with great success. The Public Treasury, with the Documents of the Gov ernment, had fallen into their hands, and the forces of the President were shat up in one or two of the principal sea-ports. They amounted to only 4,000, while the army of the Insurgents numbered 20,000, and was daily increasing, and fully supplied with arms and provisions. Such is the state of a country which the Abolitionists are wont to point to, as an example of the capacity of negroes for self-government! It was, under white dominion, flourishing, rich and increasing in prosperity and importance; under negro domination, it has been visited by the vengeance of Heaven and devasta ted by civil wars. Its commerce has dwindled away ; its soil has been allowed to become a desert, through the indolence of its possessors, licentiousness, and anar. chy have prevailed, and now, those whom the late terrific earthquakes have spar !, instead of uniting themselves to build up their cities from their ruins, are depopula ting the Island by mutual murder. We notice by the City Physician’s repo: - ; that there has been one new case of Small Pox since his last, and that was im mediately removed to the Hospital, which is about one mile from the business part of the city, and remote from atiy public road. This and the negro mentioned, in his last report, are all the cases which are now in this city, and we would say to all persons interested, from present appearances there is not the slightest danger in their now vi siting our city.— Columbus Times Hth inst. Counterfeiter Arrested. —The Tallahas see Floridian of the Ist inst. says:—A few days since a person by the name of Green up Arnold, was arrested in this city, charged with passing counterfeit money, a consid erable amomitis 820 bills of the Central Bank of Georgia, were found concealed a bout his person. He was fully committed to stand his trial at the next term of the Su preme Court. Counterfeit S2O hills on the Central Bank of Georgia, dated 7th June, 1840, payable to'C C. Bryan. A. M. Nesbet, Cashier; J. Fort, President; are in circulation. Pa per dark, and may be easily detected. Chronicle tip Sentinel. . ..... ./ CENTRAL BANK. We have seen a counterfeit S2O bill on the Central Bank, which was well calcu lated to pass current from its rare similarity to the genuine bills of that institution- — We should have taken it ourselves with out question as to its genuiness; and indeed but for discrepancies known to exist, from the books of the Bairk, we imagine the sign ers of the bill themselves might readily have been made subject to the fraud. There is one mark by which the base char acter of the bill we examined, (and douot less there are plenty such in circulation) may be readily detected. It is dated the 7th of June 1840. There are no genuine bills of that date. The most striking mark which may arrest attention to these hills is that of their having been much robbed, in order no doubt, to give them the appear ance of having been much circulated, and to blur, in some good degree, the (ace of the hill, and to hide minute defeota. The impression is fainter and not so well execu ted as the genuine hills. But one must have all eyes open to prevent being im posed on by thisjiase forgery. Mil ledge ri lie Recorder.

Isjnot the prospect glori ous? My soul swtlls beyond her limits in contemplating ties change. It must —it will take place. The head repudiators— the old sinners—art coming over by scores.’ PENNSYLVANIA.—CURIOUS DEV* , elApments. The Harrisburg Keystone of Saturday, which has been up to this time the organ of Governor Portpr, has an editorial arti cle which contains some curious disclo sures. ft commences with a compliment upon the calmness and dignity of Pennsyl . vania, and then'proceeds to state that Mr. Tyler has attempted to corrupt the State Government and adds: We proclaim to the Democracy of Penn sylvania that a bargain lias been entered in to, and the power and the seductions of the government with all the hopes and fears which it can create, is being used to subsi dize the press, break down the elastic spirit of the Democratic party, and transfer its membew to the special keeping of Capt. .Tyler A; Cos.” The proof of this is the fact, that the Keystone being the organ of the present Executive of the State was plied with com munications in favor of Mr. Tyler. It re fused to publish them; and, as a conse quence, the friends of Mr. Tyler refused to vote for its publishers as State Printers. The Keystone then adds: “We have sacrificed much in the honest conviction that we were doing right in sus taining the present state administration, and as piof, that we have sustained it ar dently and zealously, we need but to refer to the columns of our paper during the last four years. We shall continue to support that administration in all its democratic measures, but will repel all efforts to make the columns of the Keystone teem wigtTY LERISM! Communications,glowing with the beauty, and power and Majesty and glory of John Tyler, have been presented to us in manuscript, directly from the hands ofDAViD Ritteniiouse Porter, which we felt called upon, by every considera tion or iluiy and of ruliiotism, to reject from our columns.” The paper then says, that another com munication has been handed to the Editor by Governor Porter himself, though not in his hand writing, which is not published. It says that Pennsylvania stands pledged to Buchanan, but if he is not iu the field, it will go for Tyler, and proceeds to give the reasons.— Baltimore American. ABSQUATULATION OF A LOCOFO CO REPUDIATOR. There has been rare doings among the “unsophisticated” in our sister Stateof Mis sissippi, the particulars of which will be ip and in the following article from the N. y ‘Tropic: i Swartwouting. —The repudiators of Mis sissippi have been thrown iritogreat tribu- Ut:on recently, by the absquatulation of Richard S. Graves, *be State Treasurer, li'.h some hundred av odd thousand dol -I;rs in good ft nds ! i: or two months past, yjs/su: mises ha ■■ been afloat in regard iij :. . . .0,. iuct, and last week Govern or Tuci.r made an affidavit upon which j Chief Justice Sharkey h'ulffiim arrested and brought before him. The oxaminaya*Lcon tiliued several days, and pending WrtWn, on Sbnday evening last, the aforesaid Graves escaped from his guard and made off to ‘ farts unknown.” The Governor lias is sued a proclamation offering SIOOO reward for his apprehension, and if our police are on the look out, mayhap they may nab the gAitleman. The funds in his possession cotnprise the “two per cent fund” appro prated to the State under the distribution act, and to special purposes ! This robbe ry df the State Treasury has so far as we fenoy, surprised uoone. The Whigs have alwiys believed that Graves would steal whe lever occasion offered, & they look up on is Swartwouting as a thing of course. Rejidiation and plain robbery they regard ass rnonymous terms, and the fact of a re puc ator robbing a Treasury or an individ ual is in their eyes no very wonderful oc curlence. The party, however, look upon it ina different light, and claim great cred it for having discovered Graves’ penchant forihat kind of thing. Altogether it is ve ry likely to make a “very pretty quarrel as it stands,” in the ranks of the harmoni ous democracy. The best of the joke is, thaltiie'narty, the Governor included, have known fVr two months, quite as much as is known ttfiw, and yet during the whole time, Graves h\s been permitted to consumate all his and finally is allowed to make his escape Viib all hisbooty well secured. The Vicksburg Whig of Tuesday morn ing, gives tie following additional particu lars : Itappcar that Graves obtained permis sion of his jsiard to visit his wife in her chamber, a out two o’clock yesterday, and the guard filing too much delicacy to in terrupt him, waited patiently for him to take his napput, until at last, becoming i weary, theyknocked at the door and de manded to s him. Mrs. Graves wliis . per--:1 and sai\ he was asleep* and begged [ he should not ae disturbed, and pointed to the bed where he was supposed to he repo sing soudly. At about 8 o’clock, however, the guard declared he Imd slept enough, & entered the room for the purpose of waking him, when, lo and behold 1 they found a la dy snugly occupying the bed, and Graves missing. He, as it appears, had dressed himself in female apparel, and walked out in presence of the guard. During the lime that Graves was supposed to be asleep, a large likely negro girl went in and out of the room several times, and as repudiators are never particular about colors, it is sup posed Choctaw took the negro’s clothes, blacked his face a shade or two, and walked out. Executive Appointment. —John A. Jones, Esq. we understand, has been appointed Judge of the Cherokee Circuit to fill the vacancy, occasioned by the death of the late Judge Anderson.— Mil. Recorder. DUELLING.—Some days since the hill introduced into the House to repeal the present laws against duelling and estab lish a Board of Honor, was referred to a Special Committee. The majority of the Committee yesterday reported a bill which struck us as peculiarly adapted to the state of public opinion in Louisiania, and well calculated to suppress those promptings of false honor which have occasioned so much misery, and wrought such irreparable mis chief. The present bill repeals the stat utes against duelling and substitutes a number of penal enactments, as well for the act of sending or accepting a chal lenge, as for fighting in single combat. The punishments are graduated on a scale proportioned to the offence, none of them being of a severity sufficient to defeat the law, all tending to place salutary restric tions upon the propensities. We trust the hill may become a law. A carrier pigeon recently alighted on the deck of the ship Strabane, on the voyage from Calcutta to Britain, having a regi mental button attached to his leg by a piece of brass wire. From a reference to the log of the Mary transport, on her voyage to Bombay, it has been discovered that from the time the bird was liberated from that vessel, to the time it alighted on the Stra bane, it had flown no less than two thou sand miles in ten days. The following paragraph we copy from the Baltimore Clipper. Mesmerism—its Utility. —We heard yes terday of a case in which the utility of mes merism was practically demonstrated. A gentleman of this city having had cause to suspect that a colored boy was in the habit of stealing wood, got him in his store and mesmerized him. Whilst in this state on being questioned, he confessed to sundry thefts, slating at the same time who were his companions. This is an unforeseen ef fect of animal magnetism, and will be like ly to bring the science into disrepute, not withstanding its being so admirably an aid to thief taking, as no one will like to have his secrets thus pumped out of him whilst asleep. The Mesmerisers are making great cap ital out of the fact, which they stale, that a man was Mesmerised, and in that state had his leg sawed off without feeling any pain from the operation. One of the newspapers in some measure diminishes the wonder ment of this “ triumph of science” by men tioning the rather material circumstance that the leg was a wooden one. The. National Intelligencer announces as follows the death of Gen. Armstrong, a distinguished officer of the Revolutionary War. It will be recollected that the cele brated Newburg Letters were ascribed to him. The Eastern mail brings us news of the death, at his residence, in Lower Red Hook, Dutchess county, N. Y. on the Ist instant, of General John Armstrong, in the 85th year of his age. Gen. Armstrong, as our readers general ly know, was a soldier of the Revolution, Minister of France during the reign of Na poleon, Secretary of War during an impor tant period of the war of 1812, of which he wrote a history, and was distinguished as well by his ability as a public writer as by his professional acquirements. His Biography will doubtless be produ ced by some friend able and authorized to write it, unless, indeed, as seems to us very probable, lie has left an autobiography, which would be more acceptable, and, considering particular incidents in his life, could not fail to be deeply interesting. MELANCHOLLY OCCURRENCE. Passed Assistant Surgeon, Richard W. Leacock, of the U. S. brig Somers, commit ted suicide on the ev( ig of the 31st ult. by shooting himself over the right eye with a pistol on board the Somers. The Express says “he has been attached to her ever since she has been in commission, was an estima ble officer, and stood high in his profession and was much beloved by his fellow offi cers. He was 29 years of age, and a na tive of Norfolk, Virginia. Mr. Leacock’s health has been impaired for a long time, and from having contracted the coast fever while in the Grampus, on her last cruise to the coast of Africa.” The Evening Post observes, “it is a re markable coincidence that John Carroli committed suicide in a similar manner, on board the Boxer, while lying nearly in the same spot that the Somers now is, on the 31st March, 1842, exactly one year previ ously.” Murder. —Mr. William Foster, of Frank lin co. N. C., was killed on the night of the 4th inst. on the Lawrenceville road, about eleven miles from Jefferson. The murder was committed about two hours before day at the camp-ground, By a negro boy, be longing to Foster. He has been taken and lodged in jail, having confessed that he struck his master three times upon the head with an axe. We have not learned further particulars but presume that Mr. F. was on his way to N. C. Athene Whig. FOR THE NEWS & LANTF.RS’ GAZETTE. [By Request.\ llcaili by Drpwiling. A truly distressing circumstance occur red on Friday the 31st March last. Dur ing play-hours, Mr. Randle, Rector of the Rock Mount Academy, together with a number of his pupils, mostly small boys, walked down to view the Creek, running, but it few yards from tho Academy, which had been swollen to quite a fearful height by the heavy fall of rain during the morn ing ; while duwn there, several of the little boys walked across the stroam on a log, prepared for that purpose; after viewing the raging waters for s.ome time, it seems that Mr. R. went to the hot'se and loft the children there, several of them on the op posite side, playing about as little boys are wont to do ; when, vciy soon the alarm was given by some of the larger boys, that two of the smaller ones, Jabez, 7 years of age, son of Mr. J. R. Elliott, and Leslie, 8 years old, son of Thomas Halliday, Esq., had fallen off’ the log, supposed in attempt ing to cross, and were in a drowning condi tion. It appears that Mr. Elliott’s son had fallen in first; Mr. Halliday’s older son seeing the perilous condition of his little brother, jumped into the water to assist him, but to no purpose, and it was with some difficulty that he got out again himself. Mr. R. ran down immediately, hut not in time to render any assistance. The intel ligence was very soon communicated to the families around, and several hands were soon at the place. Search being made, Mr. H’s. son was found some forty or fifty vards below where he had fallen in, drift ed up against a sapling ; he was taken to the house immediately, and considerable effort made to resuscitate him, but all to no purpose; life was extinct. Search was continued during the evening for Mr. E’s. son, but without being able to find him ; night came on and they were obliged to de sist. Search was resumed early next morn ing by quite a number of persons, and con tinued diligently during the day ; but sffll without effect. Sabbath : the morning opened beautiful ly, and from 1 to 200 persons collected on the Creek at different points, and tho day was spent in tearing up rafts, digging up sand-drifts, &c., but still the child could not be found. Search has been continued from day to day up to Friday last, but the little sufferer is still the victim of a watery grave. Sad and melancholy re flection. We truly sympathize with the bereaved parents. Death in its mildest forms is distressing enough; when it comes so suddenly and unexpectedly, it must be much more heart-rending. The expectations of the parents who w-ere so careful about the culture of the young and tender minds of their offspring, and who were no doubt anxiously looking forward to that day when they should ripen into maturity and become the solace of their de clining years, are now forever blighted. Death has spread its ravages abroad in the land, and Leslie and Jabez are no more! But parents, to you we would say, comfort yourselves in view of the fact that they are in the hands of that God who said “ sutler little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven.” P. A Narrow Escape. —The Richmond Compiler of Friday say—Some of the offi cers of the Navy are now in our city for the purpose of inspecting and proving the new cannon cast for government at the Trede gar Foundry. The process of proving has been going on for two or three days past. — Wednesday a bail from one of the Cannon glanced across the upper part of the Belle Isle and passed through the Cotton Factory on the opposite side of the river. It passed over the head of one of the factory girls, who was sitting at her work. Had she been standing it would have taken off he head. Quite a narrow escape. Precautions will be taken to prevent the intrusion of these halls into people’s houses again. [From the N. O. Bce.\ FROM TEXAS. By the arrival of the steam packet New York, we have received Galveston papers to the 29th ult. From former advices it appeared that Judge Robinson, one oftiic Texian prisoners captured by Gen. Wall, at San Antonio, had been entrusted with official propositions for an accommodation between tho two countries. By this arri val, the terms of the proposed arrange ment have transpired. They are as fol lows: Ist. It is proposed that Texas should ac knowledge the sovereignity of Mexico. 2d. A general act of amnesty to be pass ed for past acts in Texas. 3d. Texas to form an inijependent de partment of Mexico, 4th- Texas to be represented in the Gen eral Ctrugrcss. sth, Texas to institute, or originate all local laws, rules and regulations. Gtli. No Mexican troops under any pre text whatever to be stationed in Texas. The Civilian which publishes the fore going propositions, speaks of them in a de cidedly favorable manner, and demands for them a serious and respectful consider ation. It is understood that Santa Arina is willing to concede every thing to Texas, except the name of Sovereignity. He is convinced of the utter impossibility of reconquering the country, and is anx ious to make terms while he can do so with honor. A Galveston paper slates tliat it learns from undoubted authority that the siege of Campeachy is to be raised by the Mexicans about the Ist April. They dread the sick ly season, and have already lost one-fifth of their army. Specimens of Texas sugar, said to be e qual to that of Louisiana, hate been recei ved by the editor of the Galveston Times.
