Milligrams are likcxviso flowing in and
settling in the vicinity of the St. Johns. A
friend residing at Jacksonville, in a private
letter writes us as follows : “Our neigh
borhood is brisk with settlers. If the tide
of emigration, with the inducements exten
ded by government, and tho serenity of cli
mate and exuberance of our soil could be
turned hitherward, Florida in a few fleeting
yonrs, would eclipse the far West in popu
lation and commerce.”
Several Topographical Engineers of the
U. S. Army, have been diligently engaged
in surveying the country, in the neighbor
hood of Tampa, by order of Government,
with a view to establish a permanent mili
tary post in that vicinity. The site prefer
red is on the Western shore of Tampa Bay,
properly so called, and nearly opposito
Gadsden’s Point. It is a high and com
manding headland, with nn anchorage in
28 feet of water with a bold shore. Vessels
coming in from Egmont Island carry 15
feet of water over the bar. On this spot it
is proposed to erect a permanent post, with
substantial brick buildings. It is about 25
miles from Tampa, in a direction nearly
south-west by west.— Sav. Republican.

WASHINGTON, tiit.
THURSDAY, MAY 4, 184a.
FOR PRESIDENT,
miaais^r
GO“ To-morrow being the day appointed
by the Governor as a “ day of humiliation,
fasting and prayer,” there will be, as we
understand, religious services in most of
the churches in this place. We hope it
will be strictly observed as the Governor
recommends, and we are sure there is no
necessity in a religious community like
ours, for recommending that the usual oc
cupations of our citizens should be sus
pended at least during a portion of the day.
OiT’ Body Found The body of young
Elliott, drowned on the 31st of March last
in Upson's Creek, was found on Saturday

of the Democrats of this county at the
Court-House on Tuesday last,- Messrs.
Brown, Irvin, Wiley, and Thomas, were
appointed Delegates to the Democratic Con

in June next at Millcdgeville.
OiT* Marty of tiie citizens of Elbert are

Columbus Trials. —We learn, says the
Augusta Chronicle, that tho Governor has
appointed James Gardner, Jr., the Solicitor
General of this. Circuit, to prosecute the
persons implicated in the late robbery at
Columbus. Mr. G. lias accepted tho ap

Columbus to enter upon tiie duties at the
sitting of the Superior Court, which com

Virginia Elections.
The Richmond Whig, of Friday, con
tains few returns of the Elections. John
M. Botts, the Whig candidate for Congress
from the Richmond District, is probably
beaten by a small majority. The Augus
ta Chronicle of Monday says : “ We learn
from a passenger that old Albermarle has
returned two staunch Whigs to the Legis
lature in the place of two Locos who rep
resented her at the last session.”
OfT The singular phenomenon of a fiery
serpent in the Heavens, which afterwards
resolved itself into the letters G. O. D. a
description of which, copied throughout the
Union, appeared in some of the Western
papers, was seen in some parts of Kentucky.
The Kentucky observers, however, differ
in some respects from the description in the
papers, they contend that the letters instead
of being the august name of the Deity were
plainly PAY THE PRINTER, after
which the serpent commenced swallowing
his tail and finally disappeared down his
own throat. The account of thisprodigv,
.which first appeared in the Mills Point
Herald, a paper of established veracity,
has caused much alarm among delinquent
subscribers in that region, and essentially
benefited the pockets of various ill-used
Editors. We are hopefully expecting a
similar phenomenon in Georgia.
Editorial Apology. —The editor of a
uewspaper at Columbus, Ohio, apologizes
for the non-appearance ofhis paper at the
regular time of publication, by saying that
“he was engaged in cowhiding a fellow
who had slandered him, and didn’t get
through early enough to go on with his pa
per.”

THE CONVENTION AT MILLEDGE
VILLE.
It is our duly to advise our friends, and
every citizen of this Slate who is in favor
of law and order, who wishes to see the
State Government wrested from the hands
of hucksterors, demagogues and politicians
by profession, and confided to honest man
agement, that the third Monday in June
next is the day appointed for the assembling
of a Convention to nominate a Whig candi
date for Governor. It is time to look a
round, and make arrangements for County
meetings, so that suitable men may be selec
ted to represent our party in Convention.—
It is important’ for the people, and the whole
people, to bestir themselves in this matter,
ifthey wish to apply a corrective to the times
it is high time that they should step into the
arena, wrench the truncheon of power from
impotent hands, secure the repeal of obnox
ious laws and the passage of such as will
redound to the honor of the State, and reflect
credit on her legislation.
Tim people of Georgia owe it to them
selves, and to the sacred recollections of
their early history, to introduce an essential
reform into the legislation of this State, if
they would see the State prosper and pros
per themselves. No one can view the nar
row-minded, selfish, the o'aring legislation
of the last Legislature, without taking to
himself.some self-reproach, that hi.s every
eilbrt was not devoted to the prevention of
the gross and monstrous farces then enacted.
Enough that was objectionable was done;
but it is startling to reflect what scandalous
suggestions were on the very point of be
coming laws, but for some lucky God sends,
which unexpectedly turned up. The Legis
lature of last.winter no longer exists and
■ we have not much wish to'follow it. into its
’ dishonorable retirement. If was a day of
rejoicing when its members mingled again
with those from whom they were sent, when
their power to do evil ceased Heaven for
hid that we should ever forget tie ir selfish
ness, folly ami caprice then maw•••..led ,r
that wi sh Id see it repealed.
We sa v tlii-n that an early agitation is ne
cessary in-every county, in order that as
many counties as possible may be represen
ted in so important a Convention. AVe say
that if xve expect the recurrence of good
times, we must provide for them bv good
legislation. Th charlatans xvho lmve so
long shuffled th- cards at Miiledgeville, and
embittered the fountains of legislation at
their source must be ousted. We oxvo a
rebuke to that party, .which has attempted
to inflict disgrace on an honorable Senator,
with xvhose praises the whole country was
ringing while they were vilifying him in his
own State, and endeavoring by insulting
resolutions to disgust him xvitli public life,
and thus induce his resignation. We oive
a rebuke to that party, who have sustained
that pet of democracy which has almost ruin
ed the prosperity of the State, THE CEN
TRAL BANK, xvho, with a keen instinct
after success, have styled themselves the
Democracy, theespecial salvorsofthe rights
of the people, who contend for free suffrage
and freedom of opinion xvitliout conceding to
their rank and file, either the one or the oth
er—xvho boast that this Government is ad
ministered by the people, and xvho neverthe
less rest their hopes oftlie perpetuity of Re
publican institutions upon the Royal Exec
utive veto poxver of one man.
The selection of a candidate is a tiling
to he determined on at the Convention, and
all must accede to the decision oftlie major
ity. For our own part, we have no hesita
tion in saying that our own peculiar choice
is Jenkins of Augusta. We have good men
and true, enough. It is not easy to select
among so many, but Charles Jenkins, of
Augusta, is a noble fellow, and most deci
dedly our favorite. He has labored long in
political life for principle alone, neither ask
ing nor receiving office. He is personally
acquainted with all the leading political
men in the State, xvho admire his talents,
xvljilc they respect the man of integrity.—
He has experience, elevated viexvs, is a
good and true Democrat as there is in the
State of Georgia or in the U. Siates. It is
time to bring our younger class of politicians
forxvard, or rather it is time for such men as
Jenkins, Miller, Toombs, Stevens, Sav re
and others of that class to come out. We
do not mean to leave out of view our well
tried friends, xvho have so often served us
in public life, but xve want a fresh and a
fairstart. Let every Georgian, xvho has
the interests ofhis State at heart, be up and
doing. The incapacity and gross selfish
ness ofour opponents have thrown the game
into our own hands.
Baltimohe, April 25.
The Cabinet Again. —A letter from
Washington, dated last evening, says :
“ It has been suddenly decided that no
change can be made in the Cabinet for tlie
present. Mr. Everett’s acceptance of the
China mission was confidently calculated
upon. His taking time for ‘a sober second
thought’ has caused a pause upon the po
litical chess-board here. That Mr. Ever
ett will ultimately take the mission, and
that Mr. Webster will then take hi.s place
at London, l verily believe.”
DEATH IN THE JURY BOX.
We copy the following from the St. Louis
Republican of the 12th ult.i
“ Yesterday afternoon, Mr. W. G. Whit
field, a member of the jury of the United
States Court, now holding session in this
city, died suddenly, while in the jury box,
in the midst of his associates He had
been complaining for some lime, of a pain
in the side, ajid the first intimation of any
thing serious being the matter with him xvas
his asking someone sitting beside him to
‘take hold of his head, for he believed he
was dying.’ These were the last words he
spoke. He leaned his head over npon the
gentleman who sat next to him, and to
” bom he had spoken, and expired immedi
ately. Physicians suppose that it xvas a
disease ui ’he heart he died of.”
From the Rome ( Ga .) Courier.
CHANGE OF THE STATE CONSTI
TUTION.
It should be borne in mind that the last
Legislature of this State passed an act al
tering the third and seventh article of the
Constitution, proposing a very great reduc
tion of the number of members both of the
Senate and House of Representatives.—
This alteration is now before the people for
their consideration and awaits but the ex
pressioh of their approbation through their
representatives in the next Legislature to
become apart of the instrument. There
can be no doubt that a large majority of the
people are convinced that the number of
members at present composing the General
Assembly is too great; but former propo
sitions lor reduction have been accompani
ed by provisions so unfair and impolitic
that they have been uniformly rejected.
No alternative which proposes to change
the Constitutional basis of representation
would be sanctioned by tiie people of Geor
gia, nor would any however fully it might
accomplish the end, which looked more to
the preservation of party ascendency than
to retrenchment in the public expenditures
& hencethe rejection ofthe alterations pro
posed by the Conventions which have met
to effect this object. The proposition now
before the people appears to be free from
both these objections. It provides that the
Senate shall consist of 47 members, one
from every two contiguous Counties, anil
h aves to a future Legislature to designate
by law the counties which shall compose a
Senatorial district. It further provides that
the House of Representatives shall be com
posed of one hundred and thirty members,
each county being entitled to one member
and the thirty-seven counties having the
greatest representative population to have
one additional member. This alteration if
adopted would greatly reduce the expenses
oftlie State, facilitate the business of legis
iation, increase the responsibility of the
members and leave at home the mob of un
fledged. half-pint Statesmen, (a disgrace to
‘themselves and the State) who congregate;
every winter at Miiledgeville. Our ob- !
ject is not now to present arguments in sup- ]
port of this proposition, we only wish to
call the attention of tax-payers to it suffi
ciently earl y for them to ascertain the opin
ions of rhe candidates for the next Legisla
ture in relation to it and we hope the people
ofthis portion of the state will not permit it
to escape their recollection. We bear our
full proportion of the evils of an unwieldy
legislative body and it cannot be denied that
we have furnished a fair amount at least of
the useless and disgraceful portion of it.

THE MAIL CONTRACT.
We learn from tne Charleston Patriot and
from individuals just returned from Wash
ington city that the great Southern mail un
der the new contracts will he transported
by the old route via Wilmington, Charles
ton, this city, and Madison By the “new
schedule,” the Wilmington boats will be
allQwed three hours more time to perform
their trip than now, which it is thought will
give them ample time in ordinary weather
to deliver the mail regularly and in proper
time for the cars on the Charleston Rail
Road, which will wait till 9 o’clock A. M.
The mail will be due at Hamburg at 7 P.
M., rather an unfavorable hour for us, as
it will give us the mail two or three hours
later than we now receive it, a circumstance
| which will greatly increase the arduous
I character of our labors, in the issue of a
, morning paper. We will not however
complain if the new arrangement shall se
cure greater regularity in the reception of
the mail, a matter which we consider of
greater importance than speed, or the hour
of its arrival. The new arrangement will
go into operation the Ist of July next.—

GUBERNATORIAL RECONTRE.
The Southern mail of Saturday brought
a report of a recontre between Gov. McDo
well of Virginia, and Gov. Thomas of Ma
ryland, at Staunton, Va. There is a fami
ly difficulty between these persons, grow
ing out of the separation of Gov. Thomas
from his wife, who is the daughter of Gov.
McDowell. Tho rumor of the recontre at
Staunton is various reported. The Rich
mond Star furnishes the following account:
“We have the particulars from a corres
pondent, ofa fight that occurred at Staun
ton on Tuesday last, between Gov. McDo
well and Gov. Thomas of Maryland. Gov.
Thomas reached that place in the Valley
stage about 11 o’clock, and Gov. McDo
well in the Charlottesville stage, about an
hour afterwards. They put up at the same
.hotel, and met there, but did not speak—
both designing to take the Lexington stage.’
When the stage came up, Gov. McDowell
handed his lady into the stage, and he was
also in the act of entering when he observed
Thomas at his side, and demanded where
he was going, to which he replied “in the
stage.” This he was assured he should
not do, and from words they proceeded to
blows, Gov. McDowell employing his um
brella with marked effect upon his adversa
ry. The bystanders then interfered, and
the battle was stopped—Governor Thomas
declaring he had not received fair play.—
By the persuasion of friends, Gov. McDo- i
well with his lady, took a private convey
ance to Lexington, Gov. T. continuing in
the stage. It was anticipated that another
“scene” would occur at Lexington, from
which place news was anxiously expected.
The affair has caused great talk and ex
citement at Stanton.”
An action was recently brought in Bos
ton by a widow lady of that city against a
poor laboring man and his wife, for slan
derous expressions used by the wife in ref
erence to the former. Although the hus
band had not been a party to the slander,
he was held responsible in- law for his
wife’s attack on the reputation of her neigh
bor, and a verdict was accordingly given
for #lB4 damages in favor of the plaintiff.
Correspondence of the Georgia Journal.
Columbus, April 29th, 1843.
The excitement relative to the late Bank
Robbery has ceased, and given place to a
deep and steady determination on the part
of all, or nearly all, to give the accused a
fair and impartial trial, or as much so as
the nature of the case will admit, for not
withstanding the high standing of some of
the parties heretofore, the circumstances
connected with the transaction are such as
to have produced in the minds of all the
impression that they are guilty. McKoen
has confessed all that is necessary to con
vict himself. Messrs. Lewis and Bass,
however, deny all participation in the theft,
hut the concurrent testimony of McKeen
and Jackson taken separately, is of a very
strong and decided character against them.
Mr. Bass has resided here for the last ten or
twelve years, during which time he lias
been engaged as Clerk or Teller in some
oftlie Banks, and was always esteemed as
an honorable young man. The consequence
was, he had many friends, some of whom
are slow to give him up, and are yet un
willing to believe that lie was capable of
committing tho act charged upon him;—
But tiie Superior Court for this county, will
he held on the 2nd Monday in May, and it
will rest with a jury to say who is and who
is not guilty. lam pleased to learn that
Judge Cone will be invited by Judge Stur
gis to preside in this case, as well as other
cases, at that time. The energetic course
of Judge Cone in the administration of tho
criminal law, has placed him high in the
estimation of all ; and the fact that he has
been selected by Juilge Sturgis to preside
in these cases, cannot but satisfy aU, that,
whatever may have been Judge S.’s feel
ings towards the individuals implicated in
this daring robbery, he is determined they
shall have a fair and impartial trial, and if
guilty, to sutler the penalty oftlie the law.
It was thought that Col. Lewis would re
sign the office ofSolicitor General, but he
has not done so. his understood that the
Governor has written to Col. John 11. How
ard, to obtain his services in prosecuting
Col. Lewis and others. It is to bo hoped
that Col. 11. will consent to do so. The
State would be ably represented, by him,
as counsel, and his general character and
sterling integrity would, in such a case,
give him an influence before a jury that
few could command.
I am perfectly aware that Columbus has
a bad name abroad—that her citizens are
generally represented to be a set of sharp,
ers, swindlers, that it is thought difficult to
to convict a criminal, dec. 1 have been a
inong them much and know them well, and
1 hesitate not to sav, that thgre never has
been a community so badly slandered. It
is true, there have been several individuals,
among them, w ho have committed acts that
ought to blast any man or any set of men,
and they are properly appreciate here; but
the wholesale denunciations generally ut
tered towards the people of this place are
not only uncalled for, but a base libel, and
emanate generally from those, whose minds
are too much saturated with'prejudice to
‘judge correctly.
A Bank Riot. —lt was rumored in St.
Louis, ori the 12th inst., that a design was
on foot to mob the Bank of Illinois, at Shaxv
neetoxvn, Some 400 persons were con
cerned, and xvere to meet in Shaxvneetoxvn
on a certain evening. Only 50 of them ar
rived. The number being insufficient, they
thought it prudent to defer the undertaking
to a future day. Mr. P., one of the Bank’s
agents, considered the Bank in danger ; he
became alarmed, and drexv the specie for
the amount lie had (20 cents on the dollar)
and received certificates for the balance,

Marriage Extraordinary. —There are
fexv of our readers in this city or in any of
the principal towns in the country, who
have not seen the famous united brothers,
the Siamese twins. They have been resi
ding for several years past in North Caro
lina, where they purchased a plantation.
We had not heard of them for a long time,
when xve received a letter yesterday from
a correspondent in North Carolina, inform
ing ns that they had entered into a state of
double blessedness. Our correspondent
says :
“On Thursday, April 13th, were marri
ed at Wilkes county, N. C. by Elder Colby
Sparks, of the Baptist Church, Messrs.
Chang and Eng, the Siamese twin brothers,
to Misses Sarah and Adelaide, daughters of
Mr. David Ycates, of Wilkes co, N. C.”
Whether the happy quadruple started on a
journey to pass the Honeymoon, or remain
ed at home, xve are not informed.
Seriously however, the women or crea
tures calling themselves such, who perpe
trated this marriage, and Elder Colby
Sparks, who consented to perpetrate this
piece o f Beastiality, should have been duck
ed in the nearest Horse-pond and then
drummed out of the country. If our Lynch
. laxv could be defended, it would have been
in this case, if the infamous xvomen and c
qu.ally infamous Elder Sparks, had been
hung up to the sign-posts of the town in
which tiiis outrage upon the decencies of
life xvas permitted to be perpetrated under
cloak of the marriage voxvs.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS AND MBS
MERISM.
Avery interesting nnd satisfactory dem
onstration of the value of the magnetic in
fluence in SurgeVy was shown on Friday
lust.
A young lady who has been distressed for
a long time with a polypus in her nose, had
it removed while in the magnetic sleep.
She was put into that state by Dr. Gibbes,
and the operation performed bv Dr. S. Fair,
in presenoe of Dr. T. Wells and several
other persons.
During the operation, which is a very
painful one ordinarily, she evinced no
symptoms of consciousness. The tumor
was removed by lacerating it with the for
ceps and taken away by pieces, and Dr. F
informs us that he intentionally used more
force than usual, to test the extent of the
insensibility. Immediately after, a curved
metallic probe was passed into her throat
through the nostril without her flinching at
all. When the last portion was removed,
her organ of mirthfulness was excited and
she laughed heartily, and tune was excited
and she sung.
After tho bleeding was over, her arms
were both paralyzed by Dr. Gibbes, and left
so. She was then a waked, and they reinai
ed so until their rigidity and insensibility
had been satisfactorily tested, when they
were relieved by the operator. All pre
sent were convinced of the success of the
experiment, and we have the authority of
three physicians for the trutii of the above
report.— Columbia Chronicle.

rnnners as a sleigh, it would carry at least
sixteen persons.
A Local Paper. —Who ever quitted a
city, to\ n, or village where lie was well
•> . juainted, and where a newspaper was
, ished, that did not find said paper more
interesting to him in his absence, than the
first political, literary, or scientific journal
in the country. The communications of
dear friends, are indentified, the editorials
of his old acquaintance the publisher and
proprietor, are read with the deepest inter
est—the local news possesses an indescri
bable charm on the wanderer, he rejoices
over the listof marriages and mourns over
the notices oftlie dead, or sympathises with
the survivors ; even the advertisements are
conned with care, as making the hopes,
wishes, changes, and intentions of those
once well known, and such in fact in a less
intense degree, is the effect of a local jour
