^hilatlelphia, to poy a fine of400 dollar* each, and severally to be imprisoned for six calendar months, for Bribery in the election ofthecounty Treasurer.—Press. RECORDER MILLEDGEVILLE, TUESDAY, MAY 8. Sir A report to I lie Executive from Mr Lump' kin, U. S Commissioner for running tbe line from the hesd of Flint to fhatahoochee river, was laid before the Legislature on Saturday last. The line has been run and marked, Iho' the Indians objected to the branch of Flint ri ver taken by the Commissioner aj the one de signated in the treaty. To the Editors of the Southern Ttreoriier. EXTRAORDINARY HAIL-STORM' On Saturday last, about 6 o'clock I’. M. came on one of the most extraordinary instances of this kind ever witnessed in the Southern coun try. It commenced with severe thunder and lightning from a cloud of very threatning as pect, which advanced from the westward.— Rain in large drops, intermixed with hail of the size of swan shot, first fell for a quarter of an hour; when the latter gradually increased in size and quantity, until the earth was cover ed with hall or rather globules of ice of tbe size of a walnut. Many were much larger, but broke in falling. One which remained entire, saeasured seven and a half inches in circumfer ence, and hundreds of bushels from that to the walnut size might have been gathered This account is communicated by oue of u party of gentlemen who were overtaken by the storm, four miles from this place on their way from Augusta to the Federal Court. Their horses were so much agitated by the blows of the hail, til to make it necessary to take llirm from the carriages. Fortunately there was no wind blow ing, or it is impossible to tell what would have been the event. A cubbin on the road tide af forded shelter, end their hats protected their heads in reaching it, but the blowa were sensi bly felt oo their shoulders. Limbs of trees Soar the size of the little huger were seen brok en off by the force of the bail in its descent,for several miles along the road. A great proportion of the hail-stones which first fell, were flattened on one side. Those a- boot the size of an ounce ball were generally smooth and uniform in their rotundity. The form of the large stones varied more from spherical exactness, and tbe large masses were rather ir regular in theirshape.kutall of them imperfect ly spherical. The one measured, was some what oblate, but perfectly circular el its great ffst alls where it was measured. (Jy- On the first page of our paper are published Documents accompanying the On vemor’e Communication to the Legislature, among which is an extract from the Instruc tioni of the Department of bar to the U. S. Commissioner for adjusting the claims of ci tizens <f Georgia under the Creek Treaty.— Bo much caution ap|iears to have been used In guarding against the admission o(fraudu lent claims, that to us it seems almost im- practicable, under these Instructions, U establish just ones. The proof required is, let, Evidence of ownership of the property for which remuneration is claimed ; *d, of the lose ot absconding ; Sd, of being found in poseeseion of an Indian of the Creek Nation; 41b, of tho usual demand in such caeca; 5th, of the refusal to eurreuder; Oth, of epplica lion to the Nation through the Go\ eminent or Agent, and refusal or neglect of the Nati on to cause the surrender or make satisf.ic tion. All these circumstances must be pro ven by the ualli of the claimant, and support cd by the testimony of at least one disinter' cstt-d witness—the credibility of the claim ant and witness to be attested by the Court lefore whom their r\idence is taken. Evi dunce heretofore taken to establish claims, nnd which has been deposited in the ar chives of the state, will not be admitted to establish them, hut may he used to fts< the proof adduced. 05* The Land Bill is published in to day ’« paper as it tvus reported by tbe joint Committee, with the addition only ol the{ names of counties, with which the blanks svere filled. The House of Representatives have since gone through the bill in commit tee of the whole, and made amendments.— In its present shape it ia very much like the last lottery act—ell the land disposed of by lottery except the fraction*, the Reserve at Fort Hawkiua and a tract of equal size on the opposite aide of the river—tho same de scription of persons as were allowed draws in the last lottery to be entitled in this, with the exception of revolutionary soldiers, who as such have no additional draw*. But the bill may yet undergo material alterations in the House; and it is not possible to say how much its feature* may bo clwnged by the Senate. Other matters of Legislation h»V« been introduced in each branch of the General As sembly. Tbe House of Representative* by a large majority have refused to appoint a -committee to report a bill for reducing the salaries of the public officers. 1£T The celebrated Tragedian, Mr Coortn has arrived here on Ids return from New-Or- leans, and will recite la our Theatre this even ing And oe Thursday evening, Mr. Fos T».e, e Lecturer on National Subjects, who h highly spoken of, purpose*fevering*»>> course. ron tnt souther* records*. Messrs. Editors; In your paper of the loth ult. in a com- miimcation signed •• A Tax Payer,” I per- oene a few economical suggestions, with o- tner otnervaj’ons—a part of which appear* ing to ran no less impolitic than unjust, 1 have a wish to see lliem canvassed in your paper. That “ considerations of economy are an object which the present situation of our country commands us never for a mo ment to lose sight or," will not, I presume, be doubted hy any—but as that meaaure Which appears at present to save the ipost money, is not in every instance the most c- conomical, it may be necessary for the Le gislature previously to their making any con siderable retrenchment in the compensations of their public officers, to weigh well its cou- sequences. His first suggestion relates to the manage ment of the Land Lottery—that is, he pro poses that all blanks should be entirely om't- ted. lam but little acquainted with Lotte ries;'! shall therefore leave that as I find it— only observing that I can see no improprie ty in conducting it in that way, as hy it there would he a considerable saving in both time and expense, llis second respects the sur veying of the lately acquired territory. As I pi ofost to be tolerably well acquainted xvilh surveying, I shall hazard n few remarks in opposition to those referred to. He suppos es that instead of the compensation former ly allowed to surveyors, they should ill fu ture receive hut two dollars |ier mile. In the present appreciation of money, I readi ly grant that lour dnllar.s a mile is too much —but I humbly conceive that two is not suf ficient. Should there he, as he “doubts not, numerous applicants even at that price,” / doubt very much the propriety of the Ia'gis- lalure’s setting up their offices to the lowest bidder. “ Tiler* is no principle better established than that every citizen liable to do duty and pay taxes is cq»*||y entitled to public pa tronage.” Granted, conditionally. If I am known to be as well qualified In fill the Pre sidential chair as Mr. Monro,', i am as much entitled to the patronage of the public in procuring that appointment as he is—otber- ise 1 am not. " As it is known and acknowledged on all hands.” says he, “ that almost every person who can perform militia service, or is (it for service on a jury, is, or in a very short time (say a week) may be fully competent to the surveying of a district, it is proposed that the Legislature should enter into a resolution, that no person shall be considered eligible as a surveyor, who may have at any former period surveyed a district, unless there should not he applicants enough without.” 1 have before said that I know something of sur veying—I have likewise taught it; I can therefore say without the fear of being con tradicted by any person acquainted with the science, that a man who knows nothing efit caumvt “ in a week be fully competent to the surveying ol a district, particularly if it be a fractional one, as mo9t of those now to be. sur veyed will be. Though one who lias a good know ledge of arithmetic, may by three or four weeks constant application become pretty well acquainted with the theory of surveying. Admit that every person who is elected a surveyor will, before his district is laid out for him, have made himself fully ac- piaintcd w ith the principles of surveying, is it to be expected tnat he would do his work with as much accuracy as an experienced surveyor would ? II “ A Tax Payer” were buying or soiling land nt ten dollars an acre would he have it surveyed hy a man who had never thought of surveying until the previous week, or by an experienced and skilful surveyor ? Saving and economical as he seems to he, lie w ould w isely prefer giving the latter ten dollars a day, to baviiig the services of the former for nothing. Yet for the public service be would prefer the In experienced. And why ? Why not IIS soon employ them for his own service as for the public's''' Perhaps as good a rea-on as I know for the difference is this—lie and the public are different parts of speech—he is a pronoun, whilst the public is simply a noun— conse quently, on account of bis superior grade, he is entitled to the services of the most skilful, but the public may be served hy any body. But it seems that the old surveyors (“a set of sturdy beggars”) must he discarded.— For what reason ? For not having hereto fore discharged their dudes with fidelity • No—there is not a word said against them oolhat score. Whatthcn? \V hy proscribe them ? It is because they have had one a| (mint meat! Why, verily, l should have tho’t a proper discharge of one appointment, the surest method of getting another. Is not this the case ? If not, it is a great pity that the President lud not been apprised of it a little sooner. li ke had understood his bu siness, it is not impossible that either “ A Tax Payer or 1 might ’ere this have been Governor of Florida !! General Jackson lias had many appointments of honor and profit—he has acquired wealth, ami the “ laurels of victory are entwined around his brow f yet he has received another appoint ment with a handsome salary, whilst we, poor fellows, notwithstanding we “have done duly and paid taxes,” are not thought of. But ss that appointment and several o- thers to which good salaries are attached, have been lately filled by persons more de serving, but perhaps not more needy than we, “it is proposed that the" people “ should enter into u resolution that no person shall be considered eligible” to an olfiee “ who may have at any former period” fillud that or oue of a similar nature.

B Mitchell, or any other person, apply lor or ohuin a sUtcrarnt to writing from you at »• n J ttmc which expressed yt>ur knowledge and belief that the s tiff Agtnl Has not know- i’*o to, »r concerned in the introduction of African n*#roe» into the United Steles or nt th«* Agency in the year 1817—18 > Tiie said Bowen answers—I did once give General Mitchell a certificate that he was not concerned in the purchase or intro duction of said negroes into the U. States. id Inter.—Do you not know that sotnc part of the African* that was brought to the Agency was claimed hy said Agent; and have not some of them been held and retained hy the Agent, or by some other person for him, and within his knowledge ? Ant.—1 do not know that he claims any in his own right—1 believe that of the parcel I took, three were left;when McIntosh ar- rsted the others, but do not know why. 3d Inter.—Do you not know that the A- gent expressed himself in a way, hy which you inferred his permission to convey the se cond gang of Africans to the Agency? Ant.—He never expressed «j»y approbati on to me. 4th Inter.—Do you not know that the in troduction of the Africans was spoken of hy the Agent a sa profitable speculation, and did he not give Ilia approbation to it ? Am.—We had no conversation on the subject previous to my taking them to the Agency ? bth Inter.—And did not Dr. Long carry away some of tbe said negroes, and was this not within the knowledge of the Agent? and were they not a part of said negroes which was carried to the Agency by your self and said Long ? Ins.—Dr. Ixpng, I believe, did carry away those i allotted to him, and they were a part of those I brought to the Agency—though Gen. Mitchell might have been apprised of Long’s going off for all I know. Long and m) self separated immediately after he got the negroes, and i set out to bring those I left behind. 6fA Inter.—Did you not see Jared E. Groce in MilledgcvilUt on the day or night of the Oth of March 1818, and did he not shew you a certificate signed with the name of William Davies, then the U. States Attorney lor the District of Georgia, which certificate went to hliew or state that there was no Jibe) or complaint lodged against Jared K. Groce for, or on account of the illegal introduction of Africans w ithin the United States ? /In#.—l do not recollect the precise day I saw Jared E. Groce, and if I did, 1 do not think this question relative, to the enquiry be fore me as regards Gen. Mitchell,as it relates only to Mr. Groce and my private affairs— therefore give no answer which relates to us only. 1th Inter.—Did you not write the letter or one similar to it, dated 7th March, I Cl8, to the Agent, Gen. D. B. Mitchell, that was published in the Journal some time siucc, which Win. Moore states he copied ? IU did you not promise said JmttiK. Groce that you j given Bow would recommend »w| urge Gen. MitcL. !l to give him a certificate that he had no concern or interest iu the Africaui, except that of be ing a bond-man. A ns.—J have already denied the authen ticity ot that letter, and consider Moore a forger. 8. Int. Did you not write the letter dated the 2;Jd March, 1C 18, or one similar to it to Genera) D. B. Mitchell, a cony of w hich was published some time since? Ans.—1 have already denied the authenti city of that letter, and answ er as nboxc. IK Int. Did you not introduce or cause to be introduced some of said Africans into Camden county, in the foil or whiter of 1C17 ? Answer— This question relates to my in terest, only, und 1 conceive it an improper question. loth. Inter.—Did not Gen. Mitchell know that you intended to carry to the Agency the second gang of Africans in the winter of 1817 or 18? Ant.—He did not know it from me. ! HA Inter.—Did you not propose in De cember, 1817, to employ or hire Lud wick Ashley to assist in carrying the second gang of Africans to the Agency : Were not those propositions made by you at Drummond’s in East Florida and 'id you not offer Ash ley one of liie Africans to render you the as sistance ? Ans.—I did propose to give Ashley a ne gro to give the assistance he spoke of in lih examination at Savannah L it winter, and 1 believe hit narrative tln re to be a correct statement of what passed between us, as for is l recollect. 1 Ah Intei.—bid you not pay John Oli vant for agisting or carrying said negroes to the Agency from the Province of Fast Florida ? /Ins.—This question relates to my inter est only, and is, 1 deem, uu improper ques tion. \Mh Inter,—Wo* not houses built in the lower part of the agent's field after a part of live Africans arrived there, and before live second gang arrived, and did you not know that General Mitchell paid John Olivant for assisting and t iking rare of said negroes, *f not, dnl you pay him ? Ans.—When I left the first gang at the A- gency,there w ere no houses built that I know; but when I arrived with the second parcel, 1 found them in small hut# near the agent’s quarter in hi* field. I do not know of Gen. Mitchell’s paying Oliphant ; the other re lates to my own Interest. 14/A Int.—Did not the agent of tome other person for him purchase,or come to an under standing with you for part of said Africans? Am.—The agent did not purcliam: any of me, I had many offers hy sundry persons to tell, hut not for the express u-e or im plied use, as | could understand, of General Mitchell *, I invariably dudmed selling any of them to any one.
