MOV DAY, JUNE 11, 1827.
£/* The GEORGIA COURIER
will be regularly issued oa Mondays and
Thursdays, precisely at 2 o clock, P. M.
and it is hoped all Advertisements will be
handed in, at least, by 12 o’clock on those
lavs . » v • »*
Our Hamburg friends will hereafter
find their papers precisely at half past 2
o’clock, in the Post Office of Hamburg.
We are politely permitted to have ac-
css to the manuscript volume cf Judge
Schley’s Reports, which we commence
to-day transferring to the columns of the
Courier. The cases are clearly and in
telligently reported, and will, we hope,
be of advantage, not to the profession on-
iv, but to our intelligent readers of every
Ascription. We suppose, there is not a
printed volume of Georgia Law Reports,
because there is no common standard of
reference, whose authority in our legal
decisions would be acknowledged through
the State. There is but little commuuion
of opinion between the judges, and their
decisions are generally confined to their
respective Circuits, where they are too
often allowed to float in uncertainty in the
memory of the Bar, without even a manu
script brief to give them permanence..—
By publishing the decisions of an intelligent
fudge in one Circuit^ more uniformity of
opinion, mere consistency of decision, may
"bo effected through the State, and the
evil, in some small measure, remedied,
which wc have hi’herto suffered from the
want of a ConstitutionalUourt, or Court
of Appeals. But we xannoi* expect a
complete removal of this evil, arising from
the inconsistent decisions of the different
Circuits, and from those of a new Judge
being generally different from those of his
predecessor, until there isa radical change
in our Judiciary, a common tribunal to
correct the errors of inferior judicatories,
and our judges placed by the tenure of
their office, in a state of greater independ
ence. The Judge, who holds his office
during good behaviour, has increased in
ducement to qualify himself in proportion
to the permanency of the duties he has to
perform. This permanency in office, be
sides the increased intelligence it will
produce, will also give more uniformity
-^ih1 consistency to bis decisions ; and
continuance even in error is preferable
injudicial decisions,to that eternal vacil-
htion, which renders the citizen uncertain
ol his rights, and the measures necessary
to maintain them.

The Postmaster General, M’Lean, is

ability and energy, and this is the first
time be has intermitted his labors to visit

will readily unite in saying, is the sweetest
place on earth, however homely.

“ There is nothing like good heads to
newspaper paragraphs. Some of the
country papers have “ seductions,” “mur
ders,” “suicides,” “breaches of promise,”

per was not worth reading without a mur
der or two, or a seduction, by way of pep
per and salt.”
It h?s been a matter of much' regret to
^ 5 ) that there has alwavs been too much
truth in thb above quotation. People
generally loVe a strong excitement, with
out regard to the consequences^ and we
presuiiie, it arises from the same great
Law of Nature which governs both mind
add body. We have no accounts of bat
tles to agitate the hearts of our readers,
for the publication of which we might find
our excuse in the fact, that in these great
national struggles, mind more frequently
triumphs than physical strength. We
have attempted to awake into action a
more pleasurable excitement, than that
which is roused by accounts of blood and
carnage, either on the great scale of na
tional competition, or the more limited
round of private malignity. We have
presented such articles as were calculated
to instil, by precept and good example,
both intelligence and virtue. If we can
persuade those, who are all tending to the
same great catastrophe, to walk in the
paths of virtue, in the same manner, other
good men have done, our purpose is cer
tainly answered in much the most pleas
ant manner. It is not necessary for ships
to dash against the rock, to inform the
navigator where the danger lies. He has
the same chart by which to steer—the
same beacon light, by which to point his
compass, as hundreds, who have before
navigated the same channel, or weathered
the same cape. It is not necessary, that
his vessel and crew should be lost, in order
to inform him that there is danger in run-
ning against a rock. This he knows be
fore as well as after shipwreck. Why
then fill the papers with instances of hu
man depravity and make them the records
pf the shame and infamy of our nature 1
Instead of disgusting the reader with the
deformity of vice, and shocking him with
the appalling features qf murder, may not
many, from these recitals, more readily
learn the mysteries of iniquity; and are
not all rendered less susceptible of hu
mane and virtuous impressions ? The
propensity to dwell on these pictures of
depravity, show, a vicious state of moral
feeling, and not less evidently, than did the
enactment of laws to compel children to
suppo, t the old age of their parents, mark
the corruption of principle and the ap
proaching ruin of the' Roman empire.—
The conductors of public Journals would
more effectually subserve the inTerests of
virtue, if instead of dwelling on all the
minutioe of horrid crimes, they were to re
fuse them admission into their columns,
like the virtuous nation which declined to
enumerate the unnatural crime of para-
cide among those punishable by its laws

SORCERESS OF MONTILLO:

(CONTINUED.)
“ Barnardo was then heard of no more
at the castle, and I was appointed to his
place ; and received an order to fit up the
apartments of Lady Juliana, for the re
ception of my lady, the late Count’s wife,
who was immediately after married in the
castle to the Don. A splendid entertain
ment was given on the nuptials, and many
of the nobility were invited. At twelve
o’clock, the dances being finished, the
company assembled in the large Gothic
Hall to supper.—In the midst of the enter
tainments, which were truly brilliant, and
just as the castle clock tolled one, a fear
ful cry was heard : the lights became in
stantaneously extinguished—the company
rose Jn dismay, while I hid myself behind
the tapestry, and no one remained but the
new married lady and her husband.—In a
moment the tapers were re-lighted, and
presented the figure of the murdered Al
varez at the head of the table, clothed in
the dress of a soldier. “ Behold me !”
said the spectre to Algonah ; “ know me!
and tremble for tby fate thereafter !” The
spectre then raised his # hand iu a menac
ing posture ; the lights were extinguished,
and suddenly burnt again—but the spectre
was gone. In the general horror which
ensued, I came in for my share. The
Don discovered me, and, drawing his
poniard, seized me by the throat. “ Vil
lain,’* said he, “ for a less crime than this
Barnardo was put away:—If thou pryest
into my secrets, again thou shah not es
cape !—-Go, carry thy mistress to the bri
dal chamber : not alt the ghosts of all the
Counts that ever lived shall deprive me of
enjoying her: -Go !” I bore her in
animate Body away ; but from that hour
she has never recovered her spirits.
“ Don Algonah, after the birth of Lady
Amaranta, became disgusted at her re
serve, and hated her. “ The daughter of
the late Count Alvarez the Don placed
out at Grenada; snd, till my lady’s death,
it was thought she was well provided for.
There has been a report of the death
since, but how that happened we must ask
Don Algonah!” “For this thou shaft
not escape me !” said a hollow voice be
hind us: We knew by this we namUr he
discovered,-but all our efforts could trace
no person in the avenues leading to our
apartment. After we had. spent some
time in discoursing upon this mysterious
admonition, Vestola retired, and we pass
ed the night without interruption. On
the following day the ruffian Perez was
buried on the spot where I had laBed
him.
“On the fifth day of my residence at
the castle of Montillo, I found myself so
nearly recovered, that I took a walk in
the garden with Marano, where we met
the amiable ladies Amaranta and Clemen-
tia.-A genera) conversation ensued, which
ended in the latter accepting my profes
sion of immutable affection, and equal re
grets that We were compelled so soon to
leave them. They appeared to be igno
rant of the general history of the castle,
nor could we fix upon any mode of safely
corresponding wjth them.
“At supper I received a letter from
my mother, requiring niy- presence at Ma^
drid, and detailing the particulars of my
father’s death. I was ruminating on this
event at my chamber window^ when by
the light of the moon I saw a man with a
dead body .on his shoulders, whom I took
for the assassin Pedro, bearing away the
corps of his comrade.—I felt some alarm
for myself, if this man knew I was an in
habitant of the castle.—The castle clock
had reverberated twelve, and the tale of
old Vestola had absorbed me in reflection,
when the feeble light of the moon shone
on a large picture.—It was a tournament;
and, as I sat at the table with my eyes
fixed on it, I thought I saw the canvass
mnve, and the two contending knights
draw back from each other, leaving a va
cancy, which was immediately occupied
by the figure of a man,^ who advanced
with a bloody poniard in one hand and a
red lamp in the other.—Finding every
thing still and in darkness, he quitted the
aperture in the canvass, and advanced
slowly to my bed.—Supposing I was there,
he raised his arm to strike, just at the
moment I had recovered from my terror
sufficiently to rush to the place where ray
sword lay: alarmed by the sound of my
footsteps, in a moment theriight was ex
tinguished, and he escaped through the
private entrance at the instant my sword
divided the belt of his girdle.—I pursued
him by the sound of his tread, till I heard
no more of him ; from the winding which
I had made, I conjectured I was on the
east of the castle ; the moon occasionally
lighted me through a passage leading to a
suite of apartments on the ground floor,
all of which were fastened, except one;
this I entered, and continued through
three chambers, groping my way with my
sword drawn.
“ The moon beams set full through the
window into the fourth chamber, which I
now opened, and recoiled with horror,
drawing the door too again instinctively.—
My blood curdled in my veins : the terri
ble and detestable reality I had seen, fixed
me for some minutes motionless to the
spot. It was no illusion, for a loud cry
immediately followed, and the door was
shut too beyond my efforts to open it a-
gain.—I had been bewildered in following
the assassin, whom I doubted not was
Pedro; and I experienced the same
dreadful embarrassment in returning.—
Having seated myself in the middle of a
large staircase tiil the morning light re
turned, I insensibly fell asleep, from fa
tigue ; and continued in that state till I
was awakened by my friend, who inform
ed me that he had been to my chamber to
invite me to take a morning walk, but,
perceiving the aperture in the canvass,
and suspecting some extraordinary disco
very had detained me, he took his pistols,
determined to succour and follow me if in
danger. Like me he had wandered in the
mixtures of light and shade, till he entered
a large antique hall on the eastern side of
the castle ; in the middle of which stood
the vestiges of an unfinishe, banquet, con-
firming the account which Vestola had
delivered ofthe Count Alvarez interrupt
ing the nuptial entertainment given by
Algonah.—We afterwards returned to
our chambers, and I secured the aperture
from being again opened.
“ In the afternoon being somewhat re
covered from my fright, I joined Marano
and the ladies, who entertained us with
their instrumental and vocal performan
ces.—My friend was playing with the
miniature which bung at his breast, when
it attracted the eye of Amaranta. “ Good
Senor!” she exclaimed, “ how came you
by the picture of my mother ?—Though
neither my sister nor I ever knew the
blessings of maternal affection, and the
deaths of our mothers are hidden in myste
ry to us, yet we pay our.respects to the
canvass which bears their resemblance.—
But, Senors, you shall go with us, and
view the picture gallery, if Vestola will
give us the keys: there can be uo danger
now my father is so far distant!”
“ When the old steward was called, he
opposed entering the forbidden gallery,
and dementia expressed her fears of a
discovery; but Amaranta, Marano, and I
laughed them out of their apprehensions ;
and, except Vertola, who again repeated
to them their imprudence, we all went to
the gallery.—Amaranta had scarcely
withdrawn the curtains, and exposed the
pictures, when Vestola entered in the
greatest perturbation, announcing that
Don Algonah had returned, and bidding
us.descend the back stairs into the dining
room. Before, however, we could reach
the door, Don Algonah had entered. The
terror of Amaranta and dementia was
depicted in their cpunteuances.-He ft own
ed as we entered. “ Don Algonah,” said
I, “ we are not here from any trivial mo
tive ;—the hospitality I have experienced
has counteracted the assassin’s intention,
who left me for dead near your castle; and
I should wish that a better acquaintance—”
“ Who are you ?—and who is this fellow,
your comrade ?” said Algonah, survej'ing
us contemptuously.” Marano, advancing
indignantly to him, replied, “ Don Algo
nab, it is for murderers and assassins who
have comrades!—You shall know soon
that J know you /” Don Algonah at these
weirds drew his sword, & made a push at
Marano, which was arrested by the arm of
Amaranta, white I ran to separate the
cqmbdtants. : r-‘ f Don Algonah,” said I,
“ this is a Scandalous outrage upon persons
of our rank; and it is equally reprehensi
ble in-you, Marano de Piuata, not to gov-
tern your resentment.—I as the Marquis
d’Antares, the son of your first wife’s sis
ter ; and my friend, who is your nephew,
the son of your sister Leonora, might have
expected a better reception from their
relation.”
“ Don Algonah showed evident marks
of chagrin at the knowledge of who were
his guests; but endeavoring to conceal
his vexation in a tone of complaceucy, he
enquired the accident which had brought
me to the castle. I rebounted the parti
culars to him, not forgetting to lay a
strong etephasis on the determination of
the assassin to dispatch him!—He turned
pale at this circumstance, and when I had
done* muttered an ungracious welcome ;
and added, “ If you had slain them both,
you would have made me eternally your
friend!»’
The intelligence I had conveyed to the
Don naturally drew this remark from him,
as he, till this moment, had no doubt but
the bravoes he had hired were slaves
Turkey.—A pause cf half an hour ensu
ed, during which time Lady dementia
had recovered from a fit into which she
had fallen, and with her sister was ordered
out of the room. “ As you seem so well
recovered,” said the Dou, “and the troops
arc under marching orders from Tolosa
I suppose you will immediately join your
corps 1” I understood the hint, and re
plied that my father’s death required my
attendance at Madrid ; and, being his
heir, I should remove from the army and
the castle of Montillo veiy soon.

BALTIMORE JUNE 1.
The Chess Player discovered.—This
ingenious contrivance of M. Kempelen
which has occasioned so much curious
conjecture and excited so much interest
in the principal cities of Europe, and in
various part of the U. States, after a pe
riod of nearly sixty years of donbt as to
the mode of its operation, has at length
been discovered by accident to be merely
the case in which a human agent hasf al
ways been concealed, when exhibited to
an audience. This discovery, as we learn
was made by a person who had not form
ed hny plan or design for that purpose
an accidental circumstance exposed to his
view the concealed agent^ as he emerged
from the case, just after the conclusion of
an exhibition of the Automaton.—Fede

The Richmond Whig thus announces a
threat hanging over its editor, and his no
tion of vengeance in the case :—
The Ladies.—When the fair sex med
die with politics, Hume says, it denotes a
high state of public excitement. When
ever they take a hand, they are for pro
ceeding at once to extremities—the ultima
ratio of men is theprima ratio of women.
Blows with them precede the use of mild
er arguments. We are induced to make
these observations, in consequence of be
ing informed by a Prince Edward corres
pondent, that a lady of that county, when
our strictures on the Prince Edward meet
ing in favour of Mr. Randolph appeared,
expressed a wish to horse-whip the editor
of our paper and her determination to at
tempt it. We regret exceedingly, that we
had not been apprised of the lady’s wishes
and the lady’s name a few days earlier—
for having, within a few days, passed
through Prince Edward, we should have
taken infinite pleasure iu submitting to the
chastisement of our fair enemy. Sure we
are, that blows inflicted by a hand so fair,
must have been delightful. Like the faith
ful spaniel, we would have kissed the hand
that .chastised us—nay, for that matter,
we rtould willingly have extended our
courtesy to the rosy lips that pronounced
the threat.
