but that the pieces fell much more rapidly. I The shower fell about the middle of the j day, while the sun was shining, and a few i light clouds were in the atmosphere ; but | nothing visible, that could bo assigned as a i cause for the phenomenon. Various opinions and conjectures exist here about the matter. Some consider it a natural occurrence, while others view it as a sign from heaven. For my own part, I arn not a Millerite, or ’43 man, as they are sometimes called, and therefore cannot persuade myself to believe it is sent as a sign that the world will bo burned up this year ; and 1 have heard no natural cause assigned for it, that appears at all reasona ble. So, having stated the circumstances J as they exist, 1 leave each one to form his own conclusions. L. M. DAVIS. District, S. C., 30, 1843. NEWS AND GAZETTL WASHINGTON, GA. S THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 13, 1843. FOR PRESIDENT, We are in the habit oi receiving po i etical communications, the publication of which we must respectfully beg leave to de i cline. We never could comprehend what people call poetry, and never saw anything in verse (except Tippecanoe songs) that | could not be better said in plain prose. f f (Kjf* The Inaugural Address of Governor Crawford, is just what such Documents should be—concise and comprehensive— ! discussing no subjects foreign to the occa sion, using no unnecessary words in pre senting his views, and in this respect offer ing a pleasing contrast to the interminable I message of Gov. McDonald, who, as if his production were not sufficiently long, spins ’ it out by a useless argument against the Bank and the Tariff, topics upon which his ’ opinions are not worth a straw, and have Ino weight with any body Gov. Crawford, < in the Inaugural, delineates the course of t policy he will favor and which, by the help t of the Legislature, he will carry out. He i declares in favor of the District System, a | sound currency, equal and moderate taxa • tipn when necessary to maintain the credit I &uii honor of the State, opposes the sale of ! the State Rail Road, presses the necessity of uniformity in the administration of Jus tice, and the promotion of Education. The people are expecting much from the admin istration of Gov. Crawford, and the tenor of the Address promises that they will not be disappointed. Cfeorgia Legislature. The votes for Governor, as counted by the Legislature are for Crawford, 38,713. Cooper, 35,325. Crawford’s majority 3,388. Since the Inauguration, which tool; place on Wednesday of last week, the Legislature lias been chiefly engaged in the election of Judges and Solicitors General. Augustus R. Wright was elected Judge of the Chero kee circuit—Loo Warren, of the South Western —E. Y. Hill, of the Coweta cir cuit and W. D. Fleming, Judge of the court l ofOyer & Terminer of the city of Savan nah. The election for State House officers was in progress on Monday when our let ters left, there were we are sorry to say a great number of candidates for each office. M. Williams was elected Solicitor of the Chattahooehie circuit for the unexpired term of John L. Lewis, and John Campbell Solicitor of the same circuit after the expi ration of Mr. Williams’ term. Mr.R. Jones was elected Solicitor of the Cherokee cir cuit—J. J. Flournoy, Attorney General of the Middle circuit—A. S. Wingfield of Bibb, for the Flint circuit— Gabriel Nash of Madison, for the Northern circuit —Mr. White ofChatham for the Eastern circuit— Mr. Love of Pulaski, for the Southern cir cuit—Mr. Undeiwood for the Western cir cuit —Mr. Patterson, for the South Western circuit—Mr. Ashurst of Putnam, for the circuit. ‘ifhe House of Representatives passed a bill, on the 10th, to repeal the act of last session which changed the time of holding Justices’courts. The vote stood 160 yeas to 23 nays. By a proviso in this act, two days are allowed to the Justices’ courts in January next for their session ; a similar bill has passed the Senate. When this act has received the sanction of the Governor, Courts will be held monthly as A bill to district the State has been in troduced by Mr. Echols of Walton ; one to extend the time for taking out grants, and one to re-enact the law which prohibited the introduction of slaves for sale in this State. We are unable to give the result of the | Elections for State House officer as the Post I Masters on the route between this place and ] Milledgeville thought proper to stop our I supplies yesterday and sent us an empty rnail-bag. {Charles A. Hoppin, the Whig can didate for Mayor of Mobile, lias been elec ted by a majority of 751. The Whigs have also elected a majority of the Common Council and Board of Aldermen. OCt~ The New York Election for Legisla ture and county officers took place on the 7th. About one half of the State has been heard from and parties seem to remain pretty much as last year—when the Locos had a majority of 50 in the Legislature ; this year their majority will be about the same. The popular vote, however, shows a large gain for the Whigs. In the city of New York the Whigs elected their Sheri IT by a majority of 957, and lost a member of the Legislature ; the former large Locofo co majority of 5,800, is reduced to about 400 ! (Kr The arrival of the steamer Britan nia, at Boston, brings still more cheering news to the holders of Cotton. The sales of the week previous to the steamer’s sail ing, amounted to nearly 100,000 bales, at a small advance on former prices. It is said however, that prices will not advance much more, as there is sufficient on hand for four months consumption. Mr. O'Connell, the leader of the Repeal agitation, has been arrested by the English authorities and held to bail on a charge of “ conspiracy and other misdemeanors.”— The London correspondent of the New York Tribune, to which paper we are indebted j for an Extra containing the news, thinks this arrest will put an end to the repeal movements; the Editor of the Tribune, however, thinks it will add impetus to the cause. Several other prominent repealers were arrested upon similar charges. O’Connell has issued an address to the People of Ire land in which he conjures them to maintain the strictest and most perfect tranquility. Burning oi’ the Penitentiary All the buildings of the Georgia Peniten tiary were consumed bv fire about 8 o’cl’k. on the evening of the Bth inst., except the cell building and the book-keeper’s office. Not one of the prisoners escaped. The fire was communicated in five different pla ces at once by the convicts, (as was con fessed by one of them under punishment.) by means of slow-matches attached to a , rope dipped in spirits of turpentine and stretched under the roof. Six of the con victs, we learn, were in tiie conspiracy, of which one Stevens a “delegate” from Mus cogee and Wm. 11. Taylor from Lincoln , county, were the principals. It is to be hoped that in consequence of this occurrence, some plan will be adopted by the present Legislature, to reform the present Penitentiary System. At present it is yearly a great expense to the State, the prisoners not earning their own living ; one of the chief objects of the Institution, the reformation of the convicts, is entirely forgotten or neglected, and their labor comes into ruinous competition with many honest and industrious mechanics. If no better plan can be adopted, put the convicts to im proving the roads or working the iron mines, or any thing else by which some benefit will accrue from them in return tor the support which the tax-payers of Georgia now have to afford them, with no advan tage, but rather a great injury, resulting to the State. The removal of the Institution would only carry the seat of the evil to an other place, without curing it; there is no city or town in Georgia, that we know of, which would be willing to have its own val uable mechanics driven away or ruined by its neighborhood. “ The Washington (Ga.)News,says that Mr. Clay intends, on his visit to the Clay Club, in Virginia, to pass through New- Orleans, and when he returns to give South Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama a call.— This arrangement has been made for Mr. C., no doubt with a view of obtaining their support at the ensuing election for the Pres idency. We ‘ have an idea,’ that he will not meet with as cordial a reception in his electioneering tour through this State as his Georgia friends might wish.” Edgefield (S. C .) Advertiser. We “ have an idea,” that the Edgefield Advertiser does not fairly represent the peo pie of South Carolina ; and, despite the o pinion of the Editor, we doubt not that the people of Carolina, high-minded and hon orable, though eccentric and visionary in their political course, will give to Mr. Clay on his first visit to that State, the reception due to one who has for thirty years served his country honorably and faithfully. Mr. Clay is not so unwise as to visit Carolina with electioneering designs, for he knows that, will) the exception of a large minority of good and genuine Whigs, her people are irrevocably “joined to their idolhis vis it would gain for him no accession of strength, though it might cheer and encour age the many steadfast friends he has a mong them. The Whigs of GEORGIA would cheerfully unite witii their political opponents in doing honor to the “Great Nullifier,” should he visit their State, and we cannot think that Mr. Calhoun’s friends across the Savannah, would willingly see themselves surpassed in generosity by a people whom they are accustomed to regard as far inferior to themselves in the charac teristics of “Chivalry.” MAIL ROBBERIES. Since the 25th October, the Western mail to and front this city has been several times robbed, of amounts already ascer tained to be SIBOO to S2OOO. Suspicions having settled upon the Post Master at Ca mak, E. A Crandle, and a man by the name of William Butler, who hail charge of the mail on the Geo-gia Rail Road, they have been both arrested.— Augusta Chron icle. Sudden Death. —Mr. William J. Vin cent, of Charleston, S. C. was yesterday morning found dead in his bed. It is sup posed that he died in an apoplectic fit, as lie was subject to them. The deceased was about, attending to his business, on the day and evening previous, and apparently per fectly well ; and nothing was known of his sickness and death, untill the servant cal led in his room in the morning.— Columbus Enquirer. , CRIMINAL TRIAL IN HANCOCK. Frank, a slave, the property of R. P. Sas nelt, Esq. of Hancock county, was put u pon his trial in Sparta, on Thursday, 2nd instant. He was charged with an assault with intent to murder, upon the person of Joseph R. Sasnett, on the 11th of October, 1843. The fellow is said to bn a notorious scoun drel, and attacked Mr. Sasnett under the most aggravated circumstance, in open day time. He bad armed himselfwith a club, and took a station on the road leading from Sparta to his master’s plantation, along which the latter passed every day. Ac cording to custom, Mr. Sasnett left the vil lage on the morning of the 11th of October, to visit bis farm. Just as he reached a large gate, near the house, and was stooping down to open it, the negro struck him a se vere blow, with a green hickory club, hav ing slipped along behind him for one or two hundred yards. The horse became a larmed—wheeled round, and dashed off. out of the negroe’s reach,and thus saved the life of his rider. The evidence fully sustained the indict ment, and he was sentenced to be executed on Tuesday, the 14th instant. Col. N. C. Sayer for the State,” and Russel Miller, Esq. for the Prisoner.— SaiulersviUe Tele- SCOJIC. STABBING. A most attrocious act was committed yesterday morning, on Cotton Avenue, in this city, by the keeper of a small grocery, by the name of George W. Thompson. It snems that a small amount of money had been lost bv a man named Winslow; Thom son’s.name was accidentally mentioned, when he immediately’ made a rush upon Winslow with an open knife. In the scuf fle, Thompson inflicted a wound on Wins low, on the left side, about two inches ü bove the hip bone. Winslow is yet alive, but his situation is considered very preca rious. Thompson escaped through a crowd, who we hear, made no attempt to arrest him. With the aid, however, of the Mar shal’s dogs, and through the active exer tions of McGregor, the Sheriff and other citizens, he was caught, and is now safe in custody— Macon Messenger, Otli inst. THE RHODE ISLAND REBELLION. Mike Walsh, in his speech at the Park on Wednesday evening, made a statement which throws some further light on the cha racter of tiie late attempt to overthrow the constitutional government of Rhode Island, —or rather which corroborates and fortifies the universal conviction that a more wick ed and atrocious rebellion never threatened the existence of any State. At about the time Walsh said he had organized a band of 300 men who intended to go to Texas to seek their fortune. They were on the very eve of starting, when they were applied to bv Levi D. Slamm, Jo Hopkins, and other prominent Locofocos, and asked to go to Rhode Island and aid Tom Dorr in over throwing tiie established constitution and making himself Governor. They consent ed, and left their employers to make all ne cessary arrangements. But Mike said they contented themselves with passing some windy resolutions, declaring their readiness to leave their bones bleaching in Rhode Isl and, &c., and in the end did nothing at all, —not a bone of them moving in that direc tion ! Now the cowardice and contemptible treachery of these men, base and infamous as they were in themselves, shine like gol den traits of character, besides the cold and inhuman ferocity by which the whole move ment in its origin was marked. Dorr and his associated villians knew perfectly well that they constituted only a small minority of the freemen of the state, and that his schemes could never be accomplished but by aid from other quarters. And so, with out the least compunctions, they came to this city and bought their supple tools Slamm & Cos., hired 300 bravos, every one of them without the remotest interest in the matter, to cut the throats of their fellow citizens, and thus carve a path for Dorr to the Governor’s chair. The whole scheme was the wicked desire of a small knot of unprincipled demagogues,who sought whol ly their own elevation and scrupled not to employ paid assassins to effect their purpo ses. Dorr the ring-leader in this base busi ness, thanks to his own fool-hardiness and the vigilance of the Rhode-Island authori ties, is in the hands of the Law ; and we trust that the law will be firmly, fairly and fully enforced. He will undoubtedly be brought to trial immediately. N. Y. Courier and Enquirer OUR LITTLE NAVY. We have just beet) presented with a copy of the Navy Register of the United States. A slight inspection merely of this pamphlet has furnished us with much information new to us, and which we trust will prove interesting to our readers, when presented to them in a condensed form. 1. Our Navy can boast at present of e leven ships of the line ; of which four are on the stocks, and two must be rebuilt or razeed before they can bo brought into ser vice. 2. One razee. 3. Fifteen frigates, of which three are on the stocks, and one is, we believe, about to be broken up. 4. Seventeen sloops of war, of different classes, besides the six lately ordered to be built. 5. Eight brigs of different sizes. 6. Eight schooners. . 7. Five steamers, now, since the destruc tion of the Missouri. 8. Three store siiips. This constitutes our whole effective force in ships, viz: 68, large and small. Os of ficers we find 68 captains, 96 commanders, 332 lieutenants, 136 surgeons of the differ ent grades, 21 chaplains, 23 engineers, 31 masters, 123 passed midshipmen, 409 mid shipmen, 9 muster’s mates, 35 boatswains, 40 gunners, 35 carpenters, and 35 sailrna kers, making a total of 1493 persons who receive liberal salaries, whether idle or on duty. There are- besides, 1 General of Marines, 1 Lieutenant Colonel, 4 Majors, 13 Captains, and 40 Lieutenants. The officers of the Navy, receive three different grades of pay, according as they are doing duty at sea, doing duty on shore, or doing nothing, besides being paid their travelling expenses when under orders, and receiving the pay of a higher rank when performing the duty of that rank. A captain at sea receives $4,000 per an. otherwise employed, 3,500 doing nothing, 2,500 o tv A commander at sea receives 2,500 otherwise employed, 2,100 doing nothing, 1,800 A lieutenant at sea receives 1,800 otherwise employed, 1,500 doing nothing, 1,200 A passed midshipman at sea or other duty, 750 doing nothing, 600 Washington Capitol. Mr Brooks, the Tyler Collector of the port of Detroit, in accordance probably with the conditions of his appointment, is in the habit of addressing letters to the Michigan Post Masterscommandingthem to subscribe to John Jones’ Madisonian, on pain of dis missal, and the displeasure of John Tyler, senior and junior, Ahasuerus and all the rest of the Royal family. A Detriot paper says he lately sent a copy of the Madisoni an to a Post Master in the interior contain ing a slip with the following note : “Dear Sir—Are you a subscriber to the Madisonian? If not, you must be. Your friend, E. BROOKS.” The Post Master wrote the following an swer on the back of Mr. Brooks’note, and returned it to him: “Dear Sir—l am not a subscriber to the Madisonian, and never shall be. Your friend, E. P. C.” The faithful official has, we dare say, sent this most irreverent epistle to Washing ton, and before this time the Post Master made a case for the Coroner’s jury—died by an accident.— Cour. §■ Enq. The New York Plebian affirms that most of the 9000 votes cast in that city at the late election in favor of twenty-one years resi dence of immigrants preparatory to their admission to the right of suffrage, and ex cluding them from office entirely, were east by what it calls ‘Democrats.’ Re member this, adopted citizens ! when you you are told that W higs seek to deprive you of political rights while the Locos are your disinterested champions.— N. Y. Tribune. The Raffle jur the Presidency. —A writer in the New York Evening Post, proposes that Messrs. Calhoun and Van Burcn draw lots in the National Convention, the winner to be President, the loser to be Vice Presi dent. Nothing can be done against Clay, the writer thinks without a union of the two chiefs. The consumption of Coffee in the United States in 1841, was 189,200,2107 lbs. for a population of 17,000,000 ; in the United Kingdom the consumption was 28,421,499, lbs for a population of 200,000,000 being an average consumption ofone pound per head in England, and six pounds per head in the United States. At the late Democratic State Convention of Vermont, a resolution expressing a pref erence for Mr. Van Buren over all other candidates for President was passed. The vote was taker, by rising—three members only rose in the negative, and one of these during the evening session took occasion to say that his preference was decidedly for Mr. Van Burcn, but in consequence of pre judices engendered against him in the can vass of 1840, he did not think him the most available candidate.— National Intel. Natural Curiosity. —A piece of honey comb, weighing about a half a pound, and completely petrified, was left at this office some days since, for the purpose of being presented to the Illinois Historical Society. It was found a few years ago in lowa, by the Rev. John Gillham, formerly of this county, and is in a state of great perfection; the honey cells being mostly filled with pet rified bee-bread and retaining their usual form. It is one of the greatest curiosities of the kind which has ever fallen under our notice. Alton Telegraph. A Wonder. —A western paper says, in an obituary notice, that “ he had beeti also for several years a director in a Bank, not withstanding which, he died a Christian u niversally respected.” Augusta, Nov. 13 —p. m. Cotton. —The market to day ho> been in I rather an unsettled state, and few transac j lions have taken place. Holders demand 1 an advance upon the rates of last week, to which buyers have not yielded, and we are, therefore, unable to give quotations, though we note a decided better feeling in the mar ket. Exchange. —On Charleston and Savan nah, pur; on New-York and Boston { per cent prem. Central Bank bills sto 7 per cent discount. We hear of no transactions in State Stocks, which are very firm. Chronicle and Sentinel. Willis says—“l have had a moderate laugh at the effect of a typographical error in Dr. Julius’s German edition of his trav. els in this country. The doctor is giving an account of an abolition procession in Cincinnati, and he records in English the inscriptions on the banners. One, he says, had the reproachful and pathetic senti ment: ‘Altho’our shins are black our souls are white.’ For ‘shins’ read skins.” Appleton, the Digamist. —A Trenton cor respondent of the Newark (N. J.) Adverti ser says “a bill has passed the House to di vorce Mrs Appleton from her husband, Dr. Charles W. Appleton, late the agent of the N. J. State Temperance Society, and who figured in the papers some time since as a polygamist. His last wife is an estimable iady of New Brunswick, whom he married some time since, lie had at least two for mer wives still living, and children by both. While the application was under conside ration, several letters were read from Ap pleton to two of his wives, together with a defence of himself, which appeared in a Philadelphia paper. They exhibit some cunning, and quite a facility in the use of the pen, but afford no apology for the base ness of the man who has been, by turns, a doctor, a Methodist preacher, a temperance j lecturer, and last and least a professor of | the profound science of Animal Magnetism, j If he has the gift of clairvoyance, lie must have seen to-day that the bill of divorce passed by a unanimous vote.” Distressing Occurrence. —Among our obituary notices to-day we record the death of Miss Isabel It. Keats. The circumstan ces of the death of this lovely and interes ting young lady were extremely melan choly and distressing. On Saturday night, she sat with the other members of the high ly respectable family, of which she was an ornament, until about 10 o’clock, conver sing with her accustomed gaiety. At that hour the family retired, but she, after go ing to her room, returned to the parlor to procure something to allay a toothache.— Shortly afterwards, a loud report and a scream was heard, and the family on rush ing into the room, found her weltering in her blood upon the floor, and a gun, which had stood in the room lying near her. The discharge had lacerated her breast and neck dreadfully. The first impression was, that the poor girl had committed suicide, and her half-frantic mother exclaimed : “Oh, Isabel! what made you do it ?” She re plied : “I did not mean to kill myself!”— The best medical skill was instantly called in, but she died at an early hour in the morning. She was able to converse for several hours, and seemed calm, though much distressed at the thought of parting from the members of her family whom she dearly loved. Her repeated and earnest asseverations can leave no doubt that the fatal occurrence was entirely accidental. All who knew Miss Keats, intimately, will long and deeply deplore her early death. She was a niece of John Keats, the young English poet, who was the friend and the peer of Coleridge and Shelley, and in her features she was a girl of genius, and her heart was the home of all the high and pure and beautiful affections.—Louis ville Journal. Malaga Grapes. —The Frederick (Md.) Examiner says: A bunch of Malaga Grapes has been left at our office, the fruit of a vine which was raised in the garden of Mrs. Brengle, in Second-street, from the ! seed of imported grapes, and it would net j be amiss for others to act on this Lint and . add this delicious variety of grapes to their j collection. Non Committal. —An old woman was asked what she thought of her neighbor bv I tbefiame of Jones, and with a knowing look replied, “why, I don’t like to sav any thing j about my neighbors ; but as to Mr. Jones, j sometimes I think, and then again, I don’t] know—but a’ter all, I rather guess, he’ll j turn out to be a good deal such a sort of a man as I take him to b” Was not this old woman a wet nurse to Mr. Van Buren ? Complimentary. —A fellow wrote home to his father as follows: “ You had better come out to Sangamon co. (111.) for almighty mean men get office here,” The three great Parks in London, St. James’s, Hyde and Regent’s, are described as forming a vast, nearly uninterrupted expanse of pleasure ground—sward, water, thicket, grove, arbor—rural advantages without end. Hyde Park embraces three hundred and ninety-five acres—woodland, river, shubbery, avenue, serpentine walk, circuit for carriages, rocky mound, garden, with noble mansions in view on every side. Regent’s Park is nearly as large, compri sing three hundred and sixty acres, with a charming variety of rural scenery. The gardens of the Zoological Society are in eluded in this Park, and had cost from 1825 to 1840, one hundred and eighty thousand pounds sterling. Savannah Rep. There is a man travelling over the Wes tern States, preaching and exhorting, who calls himself an Indian, and says he is a brother to Osceola, the famous Seminole.— He pretends to have been converted to Christianity by a revelation from heaven, similar to that which appeared to St. Paul, and this happened when he was a child. — He says the light was visible to him for ten ! hours of a dark night, during which he . heard a voice calling him, which hi- after wards ascertained to have come from hea ven—but w hether it spoke in English or i Seminole language, he has not disclosed, j He boasts of having in bis possession the l dentical rifle with which he shot down se veral ofour follow citizens, and this, after the heavenly revelation. The Americans’ are the most tolerant and best natmed peo pie on the face of the earth, or the most credulous and gullable. The story of the supernatural light ought to set down this fellow as an impostor or a madman, and in either case, as unworthy of attention. — N. O. Courier. An Upright Judge. —“ I do not think,” says a late English writer on law, “that there is in nature a more glorious, heaven ly sight than an upright, patient, knowing judge sitting in judgment. If God ever made man after his own image, I think he must have made him in that character.” astronomical. EXTRACTS FROM A STAR-GAZER'S DIARY. Dear Punch, Crul-cum-guzzle, Oct. 10. Mv worthy friends, Sir John Ilerschell and South, have been sorely puzzled, this week and more, by the spots they discover ed on the face of Jupiter. Now, I main tain, with all due submission to the astro nomical knights, that the case is as plain as a pikestaff. I think, however, that the best way will be to give you an extract from my Diary on the subject: “Oct. 2. Thought I’d have a squint at Jupiter—observed him through one of Dol land’s telescopes (190 power)—discovered a large spot in his centre. “ Oct. 3. Observed Jupiter again—dis covered three fresh spots of a reddish colour on his disc. “Oct. 4. Jupiter is covered with spots, and his face is red as a turkey’s-snout. I begin to have a suspicion of the truth. “Oct. 5. It is as I suspected—there can be no doubt of it—l’ll pledge my diploma to the accuracy of my observations—Jupi ter has got the— Measles !” 1 remain, my dear Punch, yours till death, John Stump, M. D. Extraordinary Longevity. —There is a negro woman now living in the parish of West Feliciana, w ho (tiie Bayou Sara Led ger says) has attained the age of about a century and a half. Incredible as this may appear, it can be established by the best of evidence. She belongs to a gentle man whose ancestors were remarkable for long life ; his father and mother both reach ing the age of ninety ; they recollected her in their infancy as a middle aged woman, and is twenty years since they died. Shu is an African by birth, left two children there, and was owned by the family before the father of her present owner was born.
