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.

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

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

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.

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

eleven miles from Jefferson. The murder
was committed about two hours before day

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 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.
