But an hour—and an ,other past away, and with the direst (presentiments of evil, he flew to the i cottage of Samba. j But who can depict the grief, the j tarror. the despair of Zami when ap- I preaching the cottage, he beheld torch tes flickering confusedly about, and • heard the wail of lamentation issuing 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. Nay, they did more. They declared ii was the intention of the negro pro ?di: to destroy secretly the greater num- L ;r >f the white peoph ; or to ruin them b. p lisoni ig those slaves who appear ed RHtached to them; a id then to ex teiminate the Europeans by one in discriminate massacre, and make him seif lhe liberator a id sovereig i of th ; whole island. This wis corr >bor"l <1 by many of the confidents of Mack aodal; hut he himself would confess no thing—he preserved, eve i at the fatal pile, an intrepidity and selt-composure worthy- of a better cause.

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.

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.

W L GTi UX IYC V., DAA/VSOIY., The election takes place 01 next -Monday, amt it will then be in the power of Georgia to choose whom she will serve. The people cannot be ignorant ot the qualifications and pri :cip!es of the different candidates. Upon t e one hand is M irtin Van Buren the ack .owledged candidate ofthe abolition ists. and enemies of South am institutions, and Richard M. Johnson, the practical iimal'rarna tor; mid 0:1 tho other Hugh L.

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.” TtIAKYLA The best evidence of f q( feeling man . . ifest.ee in this State, to the late <j isgl . ape . > ful coiidui tof ul!

JOHN M. BUCHANAN. 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 1 I B 'll, Joshua Vansa.it, John Evans, Geo. A. Thomas, S.ind.
