SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 4
What will be done with the Africans?
There are at this tim *. thre-3 .hundred Africans
at Castle Pinknny, S. C., who were taken captive
on the coast of Guinea to be sold in Guta. The
brig Echo containing the cargo, was pursued as a
suipii'ious looking vessel, and captured as a slaver
near the Island of Cuba, by the Dolphin. The
officers will be tried at Columbia, S. C. .and per
haps convicted of a breach of the iawe of the
United State?-?
The question then ari<es, which is a difficult
problem lor solution, what disposition is to be
made ol the negroes? Will they be sent back to
Guinea in a U. 3. veseel? Gen. Walker was ab
ducted from the shores of Nicaragua in violation
of ail international law, v and j his rights as a citi
zen of that territory, beyond .tho jurisdiction of
the United States, and yet he was not sent back !
It was alleged in extenuation ol this act and un
lawful interference on the part ol our government,
that Walker’s aims and purposes were those of a
wild enthusiast —a , reckless adventurer, whose
ambition for power would not be checked by the
innocent blood ot Nicaraguans, that flowed at
his feet? The government seized him, as an act
of charily and mercy to the Nicarguans, who
dreaded the name of Walker. These Aliicans
have been abducted from Guinea —they are iree
persons, having the liberty ot selection as to their
future homo. They desire to remain in the Uni
ted States, rather than return to Guinea, where
they live in constant dread and apprehension of
being barraeoonod and sent captives to the Island
of Cuba. Then is the government to force them
to return, against their own k will and ihoice?
Would it not be an act of charity to give them a
home among a free people, where their condition
would bu ameliorated, and where they would ad
vance in civilization? It would be in accordance
with our views and taste, were they placed on the
rice plantations in Carolina, under humane mas
ters, who would provide for their wants, clothe
and feed them well. To this proposition, howev
e ,the abolitionists would raise their hands in holy
horror,and wage against our institutions in the
future a more unrelenting, unceasing warfare. —
Therefore, wo do not propose. it. The aboli
tionists, however, profess „a greater devotion to
the sweets of freedom than we do—they profess a
greater love lor the poor negro, whom we abuse
and neglect> They desire the negroes to be
emancipated. In Missouri, they would set free,
had they sufficient power, the negroes of that
State, numbering ose hundred and ten thousand,
and worth fifty millions of dollars. They would
make them free persons of color to roam over the
adjoining States to eat out the substance of the
laboring class of white men and to associate
with them as brothers. Now we submit, in all
earnestness, that the Presidin'. of the United
States permit the .captured Africans t< remain
horein accordance with their wishes as free men,
who’ have a just right to select their future home.
That ihe Africans be sent to the good people of
Boston, aa a gracious gift irom the people
of the South. We believe this, is the best
disposition that can be made of them. They go
among their “equals” and ‘‘brothers” who will
take care of them. Then, herealter, they will be
prepared to appreciate the beauty of emancipation
and will have a practical test ol its workings.
The Africans and the Cargo.—The
Law.
From the following law passed in 1819, it will
be se°n that it is discretionary with the President,
whether he returns the captured Africans at Castlo
Pinckney to Alrieaor leaves them within the lim
its of the United States. The law simply gives
the power to the President to send the slaves out
of the Country without miking it obligatory upon
him to do so. It reads:
Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That the
President of the United States be, and he is here
by, authorized to make such regulations and ar
rangements as he may deem expedient for the safe
keeping, support,and removal beyond !h® limits
of the Uuited States of all such negroes, mulat
toes, or persons of color, as may bo so delivered
and brought within their jurisdiction. And to ap
point a proper person or persons, residing upon the
coast of Africa, as agent or agents for receiving
the negroes, mulattoei, or persons of color, deliv
ered from on board vessels sti.ced in the prosecu
tion of the slave trade by commanders of the Uni
ted States’ armed vessels.
The laws provide the penalty of death of those
who are connected in the violation of the Uuited
States laws prohibiting the trade. The Mercury
says that “their trials will take place at Columbia,
before His Honor Judge Wayne, Circuit Judge,
James Conner, United States District Attorney,
prosecuting officer. The Court begins to sit the
4th Monday in November.”
Speaking of the crew, the Mercury says :
•‘One is a Greek, one an Italian ; some of them
are Portugese, some Spaniards, and some Eng
lish. Someof them talk about New York, but
none of them now admit that they are Americans,
or have a whereabouts in this Country. These
smugglers area desperate looking set of fellows.”
The officers and crow of the Dolphin, under the
laws ol 1819, will receive a bounty of twenty
five dollars for each African, who has been de
livered to the United States Marshal.
The new Consul to Havana.
We are gratified to learn, says the Mobile Regr
tster, that the appointment of Consul General to
Havana ha? been given to Major Chas. J. Helm,
of Kentucky. A better appointment could rot
have been made. Major Helm, besides being an
accomplished and worthy gentleman, has had an
experience that well fits him for his new post. Ho
Ifeld the position of U. S- Consul at St. Thomas
for some five years dutiug the late and present ad
ministranons, and was particularly distinguished
for the ability and efficiency with which ho acquit
ted himself in it. Asa testimony ol his zeal and
popularity as a public officer, he was the recipient,
on retiring from his post, of the present of a mas
sive service of plate from the merchants ol New
York and S t. Thomas, as a tribute of their res
pect and regard. The practice of removing our
public agents abroad who have given tho highest
satisfaction and exhibited the greatest efficiency in
their offices, and of replacing them with new, in
experienced and unsuitable persons, is an abuse and
evil in our government very much to be deplored;
and we are glad to observe this one instance, at
least, in which the present administrat on, has
ehown a proper and just appreciation of the im
portance of retaining in the public service such ol
our agents abroad as have proved their capacity,
gained experience, and deserved well of their coun
try by their efficient service. In this way only
can our public interest abroad be properly snb
•erved.
Yellow Fever in New Orleans.
The yellow fever is still progressing in New’
Orleans The mortality during the week ending
August 29th, was 401. This is a greater number
than during any week since 1853. It has not yet
reached the maximum of 1847, which was 571.
It is a question of deubt, whether the disease has
yet reached its climax.
There is a great fluctuation in the mortality from
day to day. Hence the difficulty in determining
when the period of culmination has been reached.
There has been 1,279 death? since the commence
ment of the Epidemic.
Independent South.
This is the title of a well-edited sheet in Griffin.
It ttears a captivating name and it? province is to
defend the institutions of the South against ene
mies abroad and false friends at home. Query.
Why does our friend, the Editor, devote nearly
all his space in the last impression of his Journal
to the troubles of the democracy and theapostacy
of Douglas, and not allude to that ‘‘incorruptible
patriot and statesman,” Mr. Crittenden, who
stands upon the same platform with Douglas ?
We fear he still thirsts after the flesh-pots of
Know-Nothingism. The name of the latter is
not mentioned, and yet he is more acceptable to
the Black Repnblicans than Mr. Douglas.
We have beforo us an Illinois newspaper—Re
publieanm politics—with the following inscription
at its mast-head—J. J. Crittenden for President—
Abram Lincoln, Senator. Is not this a commen
tary upon such eulogists of Mr. Crittenden, as tho
Savannah Republican, Macon Journal fij Mes
senger, Atlanta American, Augusta Chronicle N

A Rich Estate. —The estate of John Law
rence, of Watertown, England, is of immense
value, consisting of millions of dollars, in tho
keeping of tho English government. Notice has
been given to the heirs to eorne forward and prove
their identity, and we learn that the claimants, as
heirs at law, are John B. Highton, Thomas Brane
Highton, Mehitable Edwards, and Mary Cone,
all of this State. We are also informed that our
indomitable and energetic citizen, Levi S. Rus
sel, Esq., has already gone on, with evidence pro
ving the heirship of the above parties, to this vast
estate. The evidence was taken before the Ordi
nary of Bulloch county, in conformity to tho
Amendatory Statute of England, and an original
record connected with, the case was made in the
year 1804. We learn that the profits in possession
of Mr. Russell, together with tho record evidence,
are positive, in lavor of the heirehip of these par
ties. We most heartily wish Mr. Russell success
in his undertaking.— Savannah Morning News.

Denouncing The Supreme Court.— We
learn from the subjoined paragraph, which we find
in the Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer iof the 14th inst.
that the Supreme Court of Georgia has been so un
fortunate in one of its decisions as not to concur
with the wishes of a portion of the people of that
State, who propose in consequence to adopt a very
summary mode for the removal of the evil under
wh ch they complain. We suppose that ac
cording to the theory of the Georgia Constitution
the Supreme Court is the highest tribunal known
to the State judicature,but it would seem that some
of the people have discovered a right of appeal trorn
its decisions to the arbitrament of the Legislature,
which is called to pronounce sentence of outlawry
ou'the f aid court because its dcisions do not square
with the popular judgment.— N. O, Bulletin,
From the Columbus Enquirer,
Supreme Court,—Col. Holt,
Messrs. Editors : A correspondent who
appropriates to his own use the attractive
name of “Truth,” in pretended reply to
another who uses the name of “Justice,”
has thought proper to introduce into his
Communication my name and to make such
aliusicn thereto as, in my judgment, de
mands a “passing notice.”
Newspaper controversies are not to my
taste, and I would that I could feel at lib
erty, even upon the advice and solicitation
of valued friends, to avoid this. Few who
have been so actively', yet humbly engaged
in the exciting scenes and strifes of profes
sional life, have more anxiously and more
successfully avoided them. lifthe contests
in which it has been my fortune to partici
pate—-usually lor others, rarely for myself-
I have sought the ear and judgment of the
Courts, rather than the prejudices and
passions of the populace ; and when de
feated before the one, have not felt at liber
ty to appeal to the other.
“Truth,” I suppose, incited thereto by
the allusion of “Justice,” to the large per
sonal interest of Mr. Dougherty in certain
Bank cases, comes forward to set off that
charge by pleading that I, too, had a per
sonal interest in the same litigation, and to
define that interest. If this writer intended
to throw himself upon the principles of the
law of set-off, he should have remembered
that they do not apply unless demands are
mutual. If the one exists legitimately, and
the other by purchase, the pita will not pie
vail. And so of interests in law suits, if
one interest, for the purpose of effecting re
sults or character, is to be set off against
another. The nature and origin of rny sup
posed interest will be presently shown ;
and if it be true, as has been urged before
the Courts, that Mr. Dougherty’s interest
has been purchased by ala rue investment
of professional labor and the hazard of the
costs of a most extensive li'igation, then
there is an absence of that mutuality which
will aliow the one to be set off against the
other. “Truth,” in allusion to a cer
tain discussion before the Supreme Court
and to myself, says that “lie (I) had a
personal interest —having held at onetime
four hundred and eighty-eight .shares, and
his father-in-law, M. YV. Perry, over thir
teen hundred shares of the stock of this
broken Bank, and liable for its biils to that
extent.
It is true, that the number of shares, as
stated, were at one time transfeired to my
name, and for a brief period remained thus
transferred. It is untrue, that while they
were so held, they were the “shares of a
brjken Bank.” On the contrary, it is true,
and by the sworn and uncontrud'cted evi
dence of the best informed and most credi
ble witnesses, that while these shares were
in ray name as a stockholder, the Bank was
abundantly solvent, and so remained for
three years after my connection with it ceas
ed, and was made known as having ceased
by the semi-annual publication of its list ol
stockholders.
My connection with this Bank as a stock*
holder, was simply and briefly this: Early
in its history, Gen. S. Armstrong Bailey
esteemed by all who knew him as a high
minded, honorable and chivalric gentleman
—asked my leave to have transferred to
my name one hundred and eighty-eight
shares; and I gave it, without asking his
motives, satisfied then and now that neith
er wrong to myself, fraud upon others, nor
any concealed or sinister purpose, influen
ced the request.
Of the shares hold by Ma i. Perry, he had
previously transferred to himself, as Trus
tee for his daughter—whom it was my for
tune to marry in 1838—three hundred, and
these he subsequently transferred to me.
As early as October J 1839, these shares
were transferred by me, and thus com
menced, continued and ended my connec
tion with them, and in any form with this
Bank—which, I repeat, was made known
to all concerned by a semi-annual publi
cation during the years 1840—-’4l—’42
Over this stock I do not now remembet
ever to have exercised any control. I may
have done so. The transaction has grown
very old, and memory may be at fault.
Sure I am, that I paid nothing for it, and
derived from it no manner of benefit.—
“Truth” says that I am liable to its extent
for the redemption of the bills of tho Bank.
This may be so. It is a question of law,
and this 1 have no purpose now to dis
cuss.
But l presume, as “Truth” comes before
the public to censure and condemn the
conduct of Judges, to assert the liability
of parties, to contrast the respective person
al interests of Mr. Dougherty and myself,
and to complain of the persecutions of Mr.
D., that be too is not without a personal in
terest in this litigation.
Acting upon this presumption, and pre
ferring to “agree with mine adversary by
the wayside,” I propose, him a compro
mise whi> n may save him the delay of lit
igation, the hazard of costs, or the sacrifice
of half hi-; claim for its collection.
If he or any honorable man will present
me the bills of this Bank held bv him while
my name appeared as one o r hs stockhol
ders, or while the Bank had a legal exis
tence—and held upon the faith of its hav
ing once so appeared, or upon any belief
on his pari that I was liable for their pay
ment uittil after such liability was discov
ered and announced by a construction of
the law which, however just and right it
may be, is without a precedent to sustain
it —then to the extent of the moderate earn
ings of a laborious life 1 will promptly re
deem all such bills.
Is “Truth” willing to have payment upon
any other terms ? Is he willing to make
tho measure of his acquisitions what he
can happen to get? I submit, that the
great principles of truth itself, and the ob
ligations of the members of society to each
other, demand only fthat jjie should pay
the damages who has committed the
wrong—that he should answer the pen
alty who has violated the contract.—
“Truth,” for the purpose of making more
extensive nrty persona! interest, has been
pleased to allude to the fact that Major
Perry, too, was a stockholder. I will only
I add, in answer to this, that he too, about
| the same time with myself, (having previ
| ously removed from the State,) transferred
his stock and ceased all manner of con
nection with the bank—leaving it abun
dantly able to pay all its debts, and it so
continued for years thereafter.
| But, Mr. Editor, “Truth,” having, I sup
'■ pose accomplished one ol the great ends
i ofbis appearance—contrasted the personal
interests of Mr. Dougherty and myself, and
thereby lessened the force of our efforts for
our clients—-goes a step be\ond, and after
parading my name and tho e connected
: with me as stockholders, reiterates the cry
of fraud! fraudulent practices and purpo
ses, on ihe part of the stockholders of this
broken Bank! He but repeats the lesson
as it has been taught him speaks the speech
as it has been pronounced to him. He
must, however, remember that it is one
thing to deal with men’s purses—another
to deal with their reputations. When he
seeks to prostrate judicial character and in
tegrity, to assail indiscriminately any por
i tion of his fellow-citizens, he presents issues
) that Courts cannot decide.
My position as a stockholder has beendis
| closed, and I further define it by stating
I that I am, and have been for ten years,
! counsel for most of those who, at the in
! stance of seventeen plaintiffs as bill-holders,
! have pending against them some hundred
i and fifty suits for the recovery of the bills
| of th is Bank.
Against all who ever held stock in this
| Bank this charge of fraud has been made
I for ten years, and it has rested upon the
: naked assertion of those who have made
i and repeated it. And this I maintain by a
brief statement of stubborn facts.

The Duel between Messrs Calhoun
and Brevoort
YVe venture to publish the following ex—
; tract from a letter recently received, dated
Paris, August sth, and written to a friend
jin this City. The writer is, of course, weii
j known in Columbia, and the names men
tioned in the letter are too farniiiary known
over the State, socially and otherwise, for
I us to be charged with indelicacy in giving
them in full:
“The statements in the American papers
; in relation to the duel between Ransom
Calhoun and young Brevoort, were so vague
and unsatisfactory, that I have been induced,
since my arrival in Paris, to make some
particular inquiries concerning the whole
affair. To my entire satisfaction, I have
found that the conduct of our young coun
tryman throughou was up to every requisite
of his friends and State-brave, honorable
and judicous, Mr. Alan Izard, Mr. Robert
Pringle and Judge Mason, speak in the
highest terms of Calhoun’s conduct and
bearing. 1 have also spoken with Col Pick
ens Gov, Aiken and others, who seem great
ly gratified, that in a case of extreme delica
cy and difficulty, Mr. Calhoun has borne
himseif with the manliness becoming his
namejand State, and the discretion demand
ed by his position. The immediate case was
this: for harsh words spoken, Brevoort
struck Calhoun. Calhoun challenged. Bre
| voort fired after time. Calhoun's second,
|of course, instantly and peremptorily de
! dined further proceedings. Subsequently,
however, the seconds chosa to submit the
matter to a board of honor. This board de.
Cl’GCll that, Mr. Brevoort fired after the
expiration of the time agreed on, and there
fore, the duel was properly stopped. 1
“The force and effect of such a decree is
fully understood in our latitude. The
second who would permit another meeting,
under these circumstances, would, with us,
be deemed ‘particeps criminis ’ to an as
sassination, &c.” —Columbus Carolinian.

we cannot refrain from expressing our
opinion of the ample qualifications in every J
way, of Col. Clark to discharge the duties
of that office. As an earnest of the manner i
in which we may expect him to fill the
place if elected, we nave only to recur to
his official conduct in the different public j

BARBOUR COUNTY LANDS.
FOR SALE
HAVING purchased land in thß West, I now
offer for sale both my plantations, lying on
| the North Cowikee Cietk. The place on which
I now reside, known as the Barna Ivey plantation,
contains 2,475 acres, with a large proportion fresh
and Hammock land. There are on the plantation
1,400 acres cleared, and in a fine state of cultiva
lion, thoroughly drained, with a large number of ;
well located ditches. The dwelling is com modi- ;
ou3, having 6 large rooms, neatly finished, and is j
situated within tho corporate limits of Glenuviile,
convenient to the Colleges and Churches. The
i out-houses are in good repair and suflirie.it for the !
I accommodation of 100 negroes. On this place, j
i are two new gin houses, one of which is propelled ;
by water pew’er, to which is attached a grist mill, I
i all in good order.
j Lying broadside t v is place is my other planta- I
■ tion, recentl* owned by Col. W. H. Owens,con- ‘
! taining 901 acres. The dwelling, out houses, gin
house and screw are all new and well finished, ;
| and equally convenient to Glennville. Being de- j
i termined to sell, I would not object to dividing I
jmy lands to suit purchasers. To those acquainted
j with these lands I need not say more —to those at
i a distance, 1 would say that they cannot be ex- j
! ceiled in point of talili or productiveness in east
Alabama.
Glennville is noted for the morality, intelligence j
j and refinement of it? citizens. It is situated 12
: miles from the Mobile and Girard Railroad, 6
miles from Jernigan, a steamboat landing on the
Chattahoochee river, and 16 miles from Eufania,
to which point the South-Western Railroad of
Georgia will soon be completed. For furiher par-
I ticulars, address aie at Glennv ille, Alabama.
