c Mter co iceive, than describe, the state
jtofhis feeli gs. But an hour—and an
,other past away, and with the direst
(presentiments of evil, he flew to the
i cottage of Samba.

j tarror. the despair of Zami when ap-
I preaching the cottage, he beheld torch
tes flickering confusedly about, and

from the dwelling? fie enters. He
sees Samba almost lifeless extended
upon a mat. He throws himself be
side her. She turns her closing eyes
ut>on him, and holdi >g out her hand,
dies, in pronouncing the name of Zami!
The heart-broken lover, over
whelmed by his emotions, sank lifeless
to the ground, lie was removed from
this scene of misery to a neighbor! ;g
cottage, a id it was not till the follow
ing morning, that he learned, after ma
ny inquiries, that a female hawker had ,
visited the cottage of Samb i on the
dav preceding, and had invited herself
to eat with S imba. He then discov
ered to the whites all he knew of the
wickedness of Mackandal, and produc
ed the powder, which being analyzed
by a chemist of Cape Francoi«e, wan
pronounced to be a most virulent poi
son.
The cause of a great number of sud
den deaths was now fully explained,
and the colonists trembled for the fate;
that menaced them. The whole po
lice force of the island were se.it out to
apprehend Mackandal, but without sue
cess, till Zami undertook to arrest him.
His otters were accepted, and armi ig
himself with a club of gu tva-wood, h ■
concealed himself in a defile of th
mountain, to which he knew the soi
disant prophet had retired. Here h
waited five days.—On the sixth, j ist
before day break, he saw him ap
proach with two m troo i negroes, a id
throwing himself upon them, laid them
both al his feet with a blow of his club.
Mackandal seeing himself beset, drew
his cutlass, and would h ive closed with
him, but that Zami by a dexterous blow
disarmed, and laid him at his feet. He
then tied his arms behind his back, and
conducted him to the cape. Subse
quently many of his accomplices were
arrested, and co ifessed th ■ facts of the
dreadful narrative we hive related.

by many of the confidents of Mack

thing—he preserved, eve i at the fatal
pile, an intrepidity and selt-composure
worthy- of a better cause. He an
non iced boldly with a loud voice from
the midst of the fl lines, that his holy

The interest which flowers have excited in
the breast of man from the earliest tig ’s to the ,
present dav, has never been confined to any !
particular class of society, or q larter of the ;
globe. Nature seems to h iv.i distributed th‘m i
over the whole woikl to serve as a inentciiio ;
to tiie mind—to give cheerfulness to the earth, i
and to furnish agreeable, sensations to its in- !
habita its. The savage of the for. st. in th:'joy i
of his h art, binds his brow with ihe mitivo I
flowers of his woods, whil ri a. taste th; th ir 1

portion as the blessings of civilization exte ;:L :
From the humblest cottage enclosure to the |
most extensive park and gr ititids, nothing more !
conspiesously bespeaks the good taste of the ;
possessor than a well cultivated flower garden:-i
aid it m y very generally b : rem irke I, th it ;
when ire behold a humble tenement surrounded ;
with or lamented pla rs, the possessor is a man ;
of correct habits, and possesses domestic com- ■
forts; whilst, on the contrary, a neglected weed ■
gr >wn garden, or its total absence, marks th •
indolence, and uah ippv state of those who have
been thus neglectful of Flora’s favors.
Ofall luxurious indulge ciesthat of* flowers
is the most innocent. It is productive not
wuly of rational gratification, bat ot many ad- ’
vantages of a permane :! ch tractt. Love
f’>r a garde.i has a pow -rf’il i -fluence in attach
ing men to their homes; ami on this account
ev.-rv encouragement given to increase a taste
for ornamental gardening is an additiomil se
curity f»r domestic comfort a id happiness.
It is likewise a recreation which conduces
materially to health, promotes civilization, and
softens the manners and tempers of men. It
creates a love for the study of nature, which
leads to a contemplation of the mysterious
wonders that are displayed in the vegetable

There is a striking analogy between the
changing seasons of the year, and the chan
ging events of hum in life, In no season ofthe
year are we more forcibly reminded oi these,
than in Autumn, when we behold lying thick

she views from her lofty throne the great and
mighty change in this her u .iversal empire.— '

of manhood, and bade us fix our hopes and af

It seems that the language and the acts of I
Mr. Van Buren are untike those of other men. ■
ills opinions cannot be ascertained from the i
otieor theother. His various letters upon th ■ I
■ sole ct of domestic slavery, a id th ■ powers of'
' Congress over the subject, are so p ■culi.irly
worded, th it no o.ie can safely say what he
means. Th.; consequences is, ihat Inc two
divisions of liis faction interpret his fitters to
suit the local interests mid feeliims ofthe sec
tions n here they exist. His uorthe.’’n friends
say oae thing, mid his southern lyiother. This
is uno of every s.ibj ;ct of general i iterest i:i
which Mr. Van Buren has borne a part. The
tariff, internal improvement, bank, Missouri
! restrictions, proclamation, protest, removal of
I thedeposites, and slavery in the District. Up
j o.i all these questions there is a difference.
I more or less, among his friends, as to his real
j opinions. 'l’his is. indeed, most ex tr.iordina
; ry. It exhibits a state of things very little to I
I the honor ofthe man, or his advocates.
But there was an act of his during the last
session, about which we It id hoped to see no
’ diversity of sentiment. We allude to his cast- |
| ing vote on Mr. Calhoun’s bill to prevent the ■
circulatio i of incendiary papers through th ' i
post office. We have seen this vote paraded
by the Richmond Enquirer, mid all the mldr. ss
esof the v irioue committees in the South, as
decisive of Mr. Van Buren’s views a id opi :.

party of Indians mid killed 4; he arrived all
Fort Drmie, late on the evening ofthe 2d Oct.
tile Indians broke up their camp at Fort Dra.ie !
an Il d during the night. Oa the 3d October.
Col. Cuthbert viththe Florida Volunteers, o 1
his march to Santa Fe bridge, attacked a small
party of India s, and killed live. On the eve
ui gos lhe 4:h ot October, .Maj. Pierce, receiv- |
ed orders from Gov. Call to join him at Fort '
Drane, with all his disposable torce, and wi’h
his wagon trai 1 and as much provisio is us he
could transport for the army,
Major Pierce marched on the slh in the mor
ning at 2 o’clock, and arrived at Fort Drane
on Saturday the 6;h, with ten days provision
I tor the 1 eimessee brigade. Gov, Call, mar
j diedo.l Monday, the Bih for the Withlacoochv,
■ taking a new direction with a view to surprise
1 tn<; I idia is; to do this, it was necessary to cut
j a new road for the Artillery and wm>oii train. I
! for more than 50 miles, which was performed i
1 bv' the battalion of 200 artillerv under Major
P. re ■, in 5 days, and although attended with
considerable fatigue, was crowned with suc
cess. mid on the mor.ii >g of the 12th, the ad
vanced git.l rd surprised and attacked a large
party ol I ndians, routing mid dispersing them,
J killing 13 warriors aad taking 12 feuiaie pri- '
sorters.
1 The next morning learni gfrom the Indian 1
prisoners, that there were-Indians on theoppo- >
-rite bank ofthe Withlncoochy, aid that there
were two places where the Indians were i :
the habit of crossing, the Governor resolved to
cross if practicable and capture them. On
mir arrival we fmnd the waters swollen over
its hanks, the approach to it covered with a
dense under growth., and flooded for a quarter nf
a mile with from one to three feet water. The
advanc : entered the hammock and approach
ed the river, art'! when near th-.: bisk, the In
dians opened a brisk it'id heavy t;i - ', from the
opposite side. It was returned with spirit 0.1
our Mill:-, but it was fmnd impracticable to op.
•’rate to advantage on horseback, and the men
j were ordered to dismount. Major Gordon
then with *21)3 dismounted men entered the
hammock, marched through it to the bank, and
there a smart engagement took place, which
lasted about 30 minutes, in which the gallant
Major Gordon, and some others were wounded.
'l'he river was deep and rapid, and sou id to b ■
impracticable for eitlmr horses or men. Th ■
troops were therefore recalled. At the fame
time a similar operation was going on at the
other crossing place, three miles distant, with
similar results, except that at the latter place
we lost three killed and five or six wou ided.
Our provisio 1 being nearly exhausted, and the
passage of the river being impracticable. <iw-
ing to the swollen stream, the Governor sou id
it necessary to march for the mouth of th ■
Withlacooche, where he hid ordered and ex
pected, to meet with a full supply of provisions;
but on our arrival at the month ofthe Within
coochee, on the 17th, to our disappointment,
we found no provisions, and we had no alterna
tive but to march to Garey’s ferry for a supply.
On this march our men experienced some suf
fering for want of provisions, but on the mor
ning of the 19i.h Maj. Pierce i i advance, arri- j
ved at Garey’s Ferry, and 0:1 the same day cau
sed ratio is forth- supply of th : while army
to be transported to meet the troops at Sa ita
Fe bridge about ‘25 miles. The Cr -ek Indians
have arrived nt Fort Drain. We shall soon be |
prepared to take the fi -Id with our brave Ten- )

then conquer the enemy and close the war.— 1

IP fiN A'S V!,¥A N 3 A.
Two weeks ago we expressed our opinion,
that the “Key Stone” State would go against the
Magician and Amalgamator. The late election
has not changed that opinion. There were local
causes operating on the State, say the Whig
press, that cannot be brought to bear on the
Presidential election. The Southern Banner
in noticing our remark, is pleased to term it an
“error”—Not so fast Mr. Editor—we were speak
ing relative to the Presidential canvass; a fact
which we thought was sufficiently clear to have
been comprehended by one even of vour per
ception. A our eh irge that it was dune for ef
fect upon th<‘ Georgia election, is equally false
as it is slanderous upon the voters of the State.
We entertain no such opinions even ofthe par
' ty to which you belong, (ignorant and credu
lous as we know a large portion of them to be,)
as to. believe them capable of being operated
on by such means—nor would we insult, the
I good sense ot the other portion by such an at
. tempt. That you think them sufficiently degra
| ded to ca-t their voles tor the strong party, mid
, to become the dupes of such a trick, is apparent
! from your effort to ward it off. But perhaps
I you judge them by yourself—by which stand
| ard some may be unwilling to be judged.
i It is peculiarly unfortunate for that p'mlt of
| veracity that while correcting what he was
. pleased to term “errors” that he should have
lallen into so gross a one as to assert the proba-
■ bility that only nine Whigs were returned to
; Congress—What was your object!
YA e pretend not to be versed in Ethics but we
' have deemed a few plain principles of the sifiJ
encc as settled, one of wh ch we opine the i
ofthe Banner will not controvert—that he««’
publishes a falsehood knowing it to
he may have received it from another*' ’•
' guilty of lying as he who first publisliX j y
the editor apply this principle lu himself
form his readers how he stands in account witiij
Truth, for its violation in republishing the slan
der against Judge AA’hite of carrying a free ue- '
gro to the polls!
The Franking Privilege.
In reply to the authorized article in the i
Banner of last week, de.iyi.ig tic; charge mad I
by us “that. Jab. z Jackson had frankcl tick: ts !
previous 10 the late election from this office 1 ” 1
we remark that our i iformatioii was received '
from a ge-itleman of high respectability—And
we are now in possession of positive proofthat j
tickets bearing his frack have been received !
through die mail, but we have not yet learned !
al wh it office they were mailed.
Will the editor ofthe Banner a id fhc Pest- ’
1 master say through their paper that the tickets
i sent to Madison cou itv, and which bore the
frank of Jabez Jackson were not printed at
tAez’r office ?
T'm Snmlv-rn Rfiner.
Tiie Editor of this print very falsely imagines
that we have been troubled by his “hand bills”
—we have never read their contents even in his
paper, and have only heard them spoken of as
worthy the source whence they came. The in
sinuation that, the hand bills from this office
were circulated privately, is untrue; and comes
with bad grace from the member of a party
whose secret circulars have found their way to
every part of the State—“For the special infor
mation of the Editor” we will inform him that
we sought no privacy for them or our person.
X'au HliircH Stemocracy
The Grand Jury of Twiggs county have dis
covered a new duty in the exercise of their offi
cial functions—and with only three dissentients
have suggested the name of Col. 11. H Tarver,
as a proper candidate for Congress. The Col.
will certainly send to each a lock of his hair, for
tliis manifestation of their respect and confi
dence for his talents and worth. We give the ex
tract.
“We deeply lament the loss of our late pa- ;
tri otic repree mt itive to Congress, General
Joh i Coffee. In this deprivation, by Divine ;
Providence, the community in which he lived
have been deprived of a commo 1 benefactor <
ami philanthropist, and the State has lost, a citi
zen who io private and public life was an orna
ment to both; and as the imperative duty of
nominating to fill his vacancy’presents itself,
we believe it. would give general and entire sat. -
isfaclion to the people of this section of t'
; country, to see Col. Hartwell IL Tarver nom .
mated to fill that high, dignified ai’.d
ble public station.”

PRESENTMENT of the eighteen recu
sanc Electors, by th . Grand Jury of
Alleghany County.
The Grand Inquest for the body of Allega
ny county being about to return to their homes,
I deem it their duty, before they separate, to take
I some notice ofthe causes which have led to
j the present momentous and alarming crisis in
: the public affairs of our State. Certain indi
) viduals, entrusted by the people wiih lhe duty
I of appointing a Senate for the State, have re-
I fused to execute their trust, and have left the
i State without a Senate.—The conduct of those
! men is without excuse or palliation—they in
| tended to secure the triumph of a party, and
j failing in that, to subvert the Government, and
j endanger the public tranquillity. The Grand
i Jurors do. therefore, present
! Charles Mcgill, Robert Wason, Casper
; Quyim, John Fisher, GecrgeEllicott, Ephraim

“In answer to a correspondent ‘H. W.,’
who complains of the occasional solid or sci
entific articles which appear in our pages, we
can only reply—in the words of a work which
has attained a just pre-eminence, not only in
Europe but in this country —that ‘to be gener
ally useful and entertaining, we mean to suit
our periodical to readers of every denomina
tion. It is not solely our intention to paint the
manners and fashions of the times; to interest
the passions, and wander in the regions of
fancy. We propose to blend instruction with,
amusement; to pass from light and gay effu
sions to stern disquisition; to mingle erudition!
with wit; to allure and please the studious and
the grave, the dissipated and the idle. To th
former we may suggest matter
and remark; into the latter we mav (n f W e the
love ol knowledge; and to xve afford
a not inelegant relaxal an( i amusement.’
AH this, with the ejj of numerous contributors,,
of whose var'.ed powerg our readers are not
ignorant, i b be our aim as nearly as possi
ble to pr r f orm> Meanwhile, as an evidence
( ' lat four labors, to these ends have not hitherto
’’ Ten considered altogether unsuccessful, we.
I may mention the gratifying fact, that since this
Magazine passed into the hands of its present
proprietors, the number of monthly impressions,
has increased fiQin less than one thousand, to>
four thous-.nfi CO pies; and at no period has-t-bfi
acqui-it;on of names to its subscription fist
beer, so great as between each successive num-
I her. This is a substantial proof of public ap
probation. which we shall relax no effort ap
propriately and effectually to acknowledge.”
