great. If, then, it be mathematically true; that

Will elect a majority of members.
This is ii iHbpfe matter of fact, to be prbved,
not by •• argument,*’ but by figure*. And, that
tny demonstration pay be unanswerable, on the
principle* of 0 One of the People,” himself, I
shall predicate my statements on tho white basis
alone. I will remark, here, that 1 shall not at
tempt to exhibit .the Senate, and the House, res
pectively, iu their worst possible features. By
making one division of the State, i monstrous in
equality wilt bn discovered in the Senate; by an
other, one, about na bad, will be found in the
House. . But, in order to trbat.tlie matter fairly—
(we must give even the devil his due)—rnui to
show that l|ie same majority of the people aro in
the minority in both houses, I shall make the same
divisiqn fur both. I taka the Senatorial districts
proposed,‘ftotn the 14th to .the. 30tb • inclusive,
(sod she annexed Table 1.) omitting the 22nd,
which lies west of Flint river, and, if included,
, would make my division too irragu|sr,‘ in Its
form. This gives me a compact body of counties,
comprising the whole centre of the State, .and
Containing a free white population of 163,176 per
sons. All theotfier.C.ountieiof tip State contain
246,659 ftwe white persons. Of thesq two di
visions, the majority are to alert sixteen Sena
tors, and aixty seven Representative* ; the minor
ity, twenty .nine Senator* and seventy seven
Representative*. Ou this basis, then Couutics,
which are nearly 17,O0f) in the minority of the
wbole.pewpl*, wHI hfvw a majority of thirteen in
the Senate, of ten in the House, and of twenty
three on joint ballot, it is also to be remarked,
that this power of tho minority must nnd will in
crease;. For, by a gtaoco at tin. map, it will bo
seen, that all qpw Counties, hereafter to be form
ed, will unquestionably be laid out, in that region,
pot included in my division. It will be recollect
ed tha;, on .be plaq proposed by the Convention,
over.v Iioy County is to have one representative ;
nod Hat ‘one it to bo taken from the County,
lowest-lu population, of those electing three.
Now tlfif flyd lowest Counties, hiving three rep
resentatives, on the plan proposed, are Jasper.
Elbert, done*,• Washington, and Houston—all of
thorn Included in tho motority district. Without
allowing, therefore, for the probublo increase of
the Cherokee country, which, it isgeeerally sup
posed, will, in a/very lew'years, still farther cur
tail the consequence of (he centre of the State ;
qvery nety County forufbd eylll take oho member
of Ihe house 'from the majority, aod add one to
the minority ; thus increasing the relative power
of the latter, two votes. If five new Counties
are formed, tuen, the five last mentioned each
losing one yopresentiitive, the majority, in the
House, ofii minority of the poqpie, will be in

the whole 'power of aoptopristton vested in an

amount of taxes, ft in the miiwrity in both houses.
Fiom the statement, madd by the Comptroller

the same sixteen Senatorial districts, referred to
under the last objection, pay taxes, to the amount
of $76,974, and all tho rest of tbo'Staie pays hut

Irby (ludson. Esq, voimuunicated to

From the Lynchburg Virginian.
A Murderfoul! most foul and horrid!
A Brother's hand imbrued in the blood of
a Brother!—'A friend in Pilisjlvania fur
nishes us with tho following narrative of t
murder recently perpetrated hi that eoun-
<y: ■
“ We hove read in shakspearn of a se
cond Daniel, but it was reserved for Ihe
present era of Murders to be presented
with a second Cain, In the person of An-
mistbad Craft, of the county of Pittsyl
vania. who, on the 10th instant,* commit
ted a most wanton and diabolical murder
on the person of his brother,. George
Craft jr. at the houve ol his father, Phil
ip Craft—and then inimediiitely fled. His
father, being sOs|iecled of aiding liis es
cape, contrary to the act of assembly, and
■ hereby becoming an accessary after the
(act, was arrested on the 13th instant
and oo the I5<h was brougtu before S. Cole
man. D. H, Clark, V. Dickenson, W.L;
I’annill, and L. Dillard, Esqrs. justices of
the Peace, who after a patient nnd impnr
tial examination of n number of witnesses,
pronounced that tho tfs'inioiiy would not
bear them out in pronouncing the prison
er guilty, and he wit* therefore discharged.
A synopsis of tho testimony may not
prove uniutefosting, viz: That, passing by
the house, hoard considerable noiso—'hud
curiosity to ascertain the cause—turned
in direction of tho house—saw Armistead
Craft running at full speed across the field
—reached Ihe house, and understood from
the father that Armistead had killed his
brother George.
The father seat : for his neighbors, a
number of. whom soon assembled—to
whonf he stated thatiou that morning Ar
mistead arose, rode out, returned to break
fast, and fed his horse again. The lomi-
ly, composed of the father and two sons,
sat down to breakfast—when George re
marked to Armistead that.it was unneces
sary to feed h*s horse so id'teo, when corn
was scarce; for which rebuke he received 1
a slap on the mouth—George, being a
mild orderly, well disposed member of tin?
Baptist Church, requested hit broiher not
to repeat it—which he did, by inflicting n
severe blow witlijfhis clenched hand, A
rencountor ensued, which resulted in
George's throwing Armistead on the bed.
The lather tuking him away, Armistead
look advantage of tins circumstance. sciz«
ed George, and threw him on the fluor—
when the father again interposed, and
sepomted them— ran Armistead (ihe el
dest of the two) into the corner—hearing
-omeihing (nil behind him. exclaimed. Sir,
you have .killed your brother-* inisecl him
up, when ih& fatal dirk lell from the bos
om of the expiring boy, .having -entered
between two ribs, and penetrated deeply
into the henrt. Armistead asked Ins fath
er's forcivness, who ordered him from his
presence. The neighbors sat up with the
corpse ilint night. Alter midnight, tire fa
ther came down stairs with his overcoat
on, and n bundle in his hand—went
tn the desk and took a bag therefrom,
containing something weighty—went out,
and remained several hours. Whether
the bundle contained clothes, and the bag
money, and whether the absent time was
spent with the refugee, the witnesses could
not toll. Mr. Jones, the Coroner, held
an inquest ever the body, when the jury
found that the deceased had been, feloni
ously, wilfully, and maliciously toturdered,
by Armisteud Cinft.”

Athens, July 36th, 1833.
Muir*. Editors—A* this-is the age of
improvement and all appear anxious to
husband the resources of the country and
to develope new ones, permit me, through
your paper, to'nttempt to torn the atten
tion ol the public to one, which the Sooth
possesses in an eminent degree, and which
has been suffered to romaiu. unimproved,
for tile want of but a very moderate share
of enterprise. I alluded lu the manufac
ture of cotton-seed oil. 1 propose to
shew, first, its entire practicability, and
then its extensive usefulness, from which
the inference will be readily drawn, of the
great sotirce'of profit necessarily resulting
to the cotton-planting State*. Tho diffi
culty heretofore, was the want of a
machine to seperata the kernels from tho
lint and'hulls which absorbed the oil and
prevented its eomplote extraction from the
former. Tilts has been entirely obviated
by a machine, invented by out' ingenious
fellow-cilizan, Lancelot Johnson, Esq. of
Madison, Morgan county. It is as per-
'ect for the purpose es it|is possible, and
it is altogether different from any thing of
tbe'kinrl heretofore invented. There is
oneln Virginia of another'description, bat
in point of expedition and faithful execu
tion, it is nothing to compare with Mr.
Johnson’s. That plan is. a rough heavy
stone cylinder turning wi;hin a semi-con-
have circle, brought so nenr together as to
crack the seed arid then they nre sifted
and the hulls blown away by a fan. This
plan is imperfect, because the hulls and
lint are mashed into the kernels, occasion
ally Mr. Johnson’s is altogether different
abd is upon-the plan of an inverted cob or
coffeemill. The hopper is circulate end
conical, and lined with steel-plate teeth,
chisel-edged, aod spirally arranged from
top to bottom* —Within the hopper, which
stands' upon a square frame, and conform
ing to its shape, there revolve* a vertical
block around which are alsb inserted sim
ilar and corresponding teeth to those men
tioned. The tows of teeth are .hen
brought, by means Of a regulator, just
near enough together to cut the hulls of
the send as they pais through, and are
then seperated by an inclined rocking rid
dle nnd fan, perhaps not unlike a wheat
fnn. The o; pflrntion is very perfect.
Not it fibre is mixed with tho kernel and
they drop ns elesV at cleaned tico and not
unlike it, liwing about as many kernels
cut in two,, ns the .broken grains usually
appearing in that article. It hulls twenty
bushels an hour with n one horse power,
and CRn be operated by a common rope
band attached to the gearing of a cotton
gin. (t will cost about as much as an or
dinary thrqsliirtp machine. The press for
expressing ihe oil, IS1l>e most expensive
part of this business, and will cost $750,
Now, with such nn establishment it is al
ready ascertained that theie is nothing
easier than making the oil, and this brings
me to the mention of its usefulness, prem
ising that ttfe fuels submitted,are suppor
ted by cither actual experiment or testi
mony of tho most unquestionable charac
ter.
One luislioi of seed will make half a
gallon of oil, and this.oil soils in thecilios
of Philadelphia and New York, for one
Hollar n gallon, when linseed oil is stilling
for ninety cents. The reason for this
difference is owing to the greater number
of uses Co which it can be applied. In
the first place, it is a decidedly better pain
ting oil, mid so pronounced by 1 all who
havo tried it, particularly thnl distinguish
ed piaciirn! citizen, Gen. David ft. Will
iams of Smith Carolina. It is a most ex
cellent lamp oil, and is in its use, free
from smoke or smell. It answers to the
manufacture of woollen's equal to any nil
ever tried, and for greasing machinery
nothing can exceed it. Thcrttaro sever
al minor uses to whicli it can he applied
with singular advantage. It has a re
markable property, combined with rotten
stone, in cleansing, with unrivalled bright
ness, all kinds of metals nnd also Tortoise
shell. When fresh, it can he used in
corn bread for the same purpose, and to
us good nn effect as lard, having nothing
offensive in smell or taste the latter resem
bling that of the hickrry not; The cake
as it is called, that part which is left nfter
expressing the oil, is' superior, as/ood for
entile and hogs, loth*linseed cake which
always commands a dollar a hundred, and
is known to fatten the finest beeves brought
to the New York market. A bushel
yields 1* 1-2 pounds and is consequently
worth 12 1-2 cents after tho oil is extract
ed.
It remains to shew the immense advan
tage which is in store for (his country,
from thi* nt present unimproved resource.
The cotton crop of Georgia, for instance,
is 250,000 bales, which, at (he usual price
obtained, is equal to aix millions of dollars.
In the seed, this crop weighs three hun
dred millions, and takes about 600,000 a-
cres to produce it.—The fibers when ta
ken off, being one fourth oflha weight,
leaves two hundred aod twertvfivc million*
of pounds of seed which at thirty weight
to the bushel, leaves in bushels,7,500,000.
From this quantity, subtract one million
and a half necessary to plant OlW.OOO a-
cres, and there will be a balance of six
millions, equal to three millions of gallons
of oil or three millihns of dollars, half the
value of tbe cotton crop—one which is
soeh a vast source of wealth to the people
ol Georgia.—This is exclusive too of the
cake, worth seven hundred and fifty thou
sand dollar* more. In making these
statements I am not unaware that I ran
tbe risk of being considered visionary, hot
I have the consolation of recoNectiog that,
soeh ao idea w»* escribed tn a certain
manufacturing establishment, not far Bern
this piece; but whe considers it now as a
wild project f There it not One plantar
in twenty, who bat any Mot of the quanti
ty of teedTie makes. Fur every sBousand
weight ef teed cotton, there are B hash-'
ehrefsoot, which are Sforth to hitp in oil
nod food, nt lout fifteen dollars, consider**
ably over hslf the vatne ol his cotton, and
really worth more than an equal quantity
of corn. The time still come when a man
trill just at soon think Of throwing away
his corn as his cotton seed.
It is contemplsted to establish sn oil
press at this plaee, in connection with the
company 'owing ‘-the Athens Factory. I
give it ns my opinion, no investment can
be more profitable-alt will be better than
cotton spinning, he'cause of the cheapness
and abiWdadc? of the raw material, the
purchasing and equipping vessels, to -pre
paring an expensive outfit -for a danger
ous and distant voyage of ion thousand
miles, whore they are cruising sofnetimns
for three*'years, and then are able to rea
lize an immense profit (making princely
fortunes) at from 70 to 90 coots a gallon
for their oil, what may’ not be expected
from the production of a more useful oil,
under facilities So obviously superior!
Whale oil will be diminished in value, and
we shall realize another great advantage
in the retrenchment'of onr -expenses for
that artiele, ahd 'keeping our money at
home. In conclusion, I ought not to for
get the immense benefit our Rail Road
will derive from this ni'w pursuit.

ocrats of (he South, are on the eve of be
ing placed in a most. disagreeable and
embarrassing situation. They have been
driven from one position to (mother*- con
tinually getting nearer tmd nearer the prtn
ciplcs of the old Federal purty, yet ding-
ing to the Virginia and Kentucky Resolu
tions of *98—calling themselves Repuhll
cans of the true Jeffersonian stamp, and
reviling the nullificrs 'for perverting and
misrepresenting his opinions. . Even this
artifice will avail thorn no longer. From
the bottom of our souls wo pity them.—
What will Ritchie—what will Rives, of
Virginia—what Will Clay, of -Alabama—
what will sonio meu of our own couuty
do nonfl Jefferson lias hitherto beeii their
idol. They professed to adopt his opin
ions. They even attempted to reconcile
them with those proclaimed by Jackson.
Poor fellows! they did not look far enough
ahead. They ceuld not foreseo that
Jackson and Vnn Bureo would travel
“down east"—tho first to bo made a Doc
tor, the last to be made President. Nor
could they anticipate Webscr’s western
tour. They could .not have expected that
Webster and his party would enter into a
coalation with ihoir immaculate Jackson,
aitd their“sweet little fellow,” Van. All
this, however has taken place. They
have been cruelly treated, it is true; hut
their troubles are not yet at an etid. They
must go one stepfurtner, or join the nulii-
6ers. There is no other alternative. They
most let go the Virginiu litid Kentucky
Resolutions of ’98—thiy must denounce
Jefferson as a traitor, a dilorganiz.tr.
Their master has comma'led, and they
must obey. It is a bittern pill; but they
have become so accustomed to swallow
such, that we trust It will cause no wry
faces. The proclamation, force bill, and
Webster's speech, were bad enough, in all
conscience'; and ns this is Ihe last, we ad
vise them to take It peaceably, so as to
make gagging unnecessary.
We have already informed oor readers,
that the Jackson parly, in the Tariff States
had commenced an attack on Jefferson
and ihe Resolutions of’93. A newspaper
has recontly been establishedlin Tennessee
for that express purpose; and as an evit
dl-nceof thelruth ofwhaf we have said, that

wicked administration, apd its prostituted
supporters, wo give some of the toasts

We have heard different statejneiats of the cir
cumstances connected wile (hie affair; that howev
er which seerae to be entitled to meet credit, Is
that the Depity Marshall went tntue house' ac
companied by a compsny of Seldiere for the pnrj
pose of removing him oat ef pie Nation, after
some arrangements had been made as to the time
of hi: leaving, the Soldiers having gone on, some
difficulty arose between Owens nnd the Marshall
upon which the lattci rode on and overtook tha
Soldiers and ordered tnem back with orders to ar
rest Owens. When they Arrived nt bis house he
was going from hit house to a field some distance
off; they pnrsned, overtook and shot him. As there
was no person'prosont bat the Soldiers and per
haps the wife of the deceased, It it of course diffi
cult if notimpoesible to get en entimjv oorreot ac
count ofthe aflnrr at tin j stage of it. It is Said by
some that he was shot down while aUetnptieg to
make his escape from, them, bat the most gener
ally rereived statement is that upon their ap
proaching liimhia drewjojpistol end mapped,se»er-
al times at the Soldiers, one^f them observed to
bira that be had no cap on his pistol, he drew out
ofhis pocket a cep end fixed it on and raised his
pistol, upon which one of the Soldiers fired and
shot him ibroogh the bead—this we .pretamc is
tiie statement of tlie Soldtors. It is proper to res
mark that Owens nhtl the Mtrshill had had sev
ere! difficulties duringtbe dey, during which they
hud exchanged shots.
We are not prepared 1 to ssy how Ihr the da-
eeased-msy have been culpable in this affair, that
he was refractory wo have little doubt, but under
any circumstances we think it aa act wholly un
justifiable; the Soldiers were sent with tbe Mar
shall not t» make war upon the citizens hot to re
move them—they were sent that the foree might
be such as to render the work of death unnecessa
ry—but it seems that these riokfiure instead of ar
resting him when they had it in their power sod
when they Anew that his pistol was not to a shuns
lien to do them injury chose rather to provoke him
by informing him that his pistol bad no cap on it,
to put him in such an altitude as would give to
-them some show of justification lojr this high han
ded act. -

TftE CORRESPONDENCE.
We proved, last week, satisfactorily we think
that those patriotic gentlcraon from Now-York,
whoso letters Ids Excellency has published as 11,0
exculpation for his release of rite Missionaries
were actuated in writing those letters only by n
desire that Georgia should bwgptten "out of dtp
way Of General Jacksons attdclt upon Sooth Cas-
olina;we*oW propose to show that bis Excelled-
cy was governed by the same motives.
In order to give this "superintendsnt oft migh
ty workshop” who did notintend “to ape Ttoup.b
affair hearing it will bo neceesary to use a few of
his Excellencys expressed determinations upon this
subject.
In s commonicution addressed to the Legisla.
lure on the 25th November 1831 accompnnied by
acopy ofthe citation in tho casuf tho Missions:
ties, in speaking of lire attempt of the Strpremei
.‘Cdnrti ‘to infringe the evident fight of a State to
govero tha ontire population within its territorial
limits” he says "such an attempt, whenever.made
will challenge tire most determined resistance; and
;f persevered in, vvjfi, inevitably eventuate in tho
annihilation of onr beloved Union.’ ’ *
"In exetaising theduties of that deportment of
Government, which devolve un me.-1 will disre-
gnrd all unconstitutional requisitions of Whatever
character or origin they may bo; and to the best
of my abilities, will protect and defend the rights
ofthe Stato,” (nol her dignity and honor) and nan
the means afforded me, to maintain its laws and
constitution.” In his proclamation to the keep-
er of die Penitentiary he speaks ofthe high sta
lion which Georgia occupies in the contest with
the anpremu court, sustained as she was by
the American people by the triumphant election of
General Jackson. This much we have deemed
it necessary toaay in order to shew that hie Ex-
eelleney wus not frightened into this measure bv
the fear of “danger ofconflict between the anthor-
ties of Georgia nnd any ofthe authorities of the
General Government;” indeed from tbemannerin
which he nnd the Now York gentlemen bent this
matter, one might be led to suppose that the whole
American people, indignant at.the coarse of ike
Supreme coart had elected General JackiOR
merely because he bad adopted a oourae opposed
to that decision.
Having thus Cleared his Excellency from lb.
imputation of having proatitnted die honor and die
nity of the State through fear, there ia left him on*
;y one ground ofjosdficatioo it left him which ia
that they had complied with thoee terms npon
which he say. they might have been atony lima
aeleused; not that we conceive he would have been
at all j notified in relesamg them from fear,' hut that
