spent for its support in four years. Divide this
bv the number of years, and ihe average annual
expense to the Treasury has been §18.625.—
Now the first year Governor Crawford had the
control of the Penitentiary, he made a profit up
on the labor of the convicts amounting to S6,-
{ 744,52. See Financial Report of Committee in
! 1844, page 4. Instead of its being a source of
1 expense to the State of Georgia, he has made it
a source of profit, and that too when the first
quarter of the year had been entirely lost by the
| burning of theWildings. He has therefore sav-
• ed the annual loss of §13,625, and has made the
[ profit of §6,744 52; and these two added to-
I gether make the sum of S 25.369 52 saved to
I the people. Now io one year il there be saved
payment of the public debt, but not one dollar
was paid. In 1843 the Whigs again came into
power, and required that at least §50.000 should
be paid annually to the reduction of the debt.—
In 1844 the fiist payment of 50.000 was made;
and in 1845 the Governor has made the second
payment of §50,000. Before the middle of the
year nearly all the interest due for the whole of
it has been paid in advance, and the balance is
ready when called for. Whereas Gov. McDon
ald admitted in his message to the last Legisla
ture, that he had left §18,000 of interest due and
unpaid ; and that he did not have the means to
pay it, unless in the bills of tfie Central Bank.
Here is a striking difference. Let the people
say which they like the best.
These old debts weighed awfully heavy on
the present administration, which, however, bote
them without flinching. The following are the
i amounts stated in the Report of the Committee,
page 6 :

“ debts Penitentiary “ 32,000 00
“ Interest on public debt, 1843, 16,401 50
Making the sum of §64,607 66
This amount had to be taken out of the in
come for the year 1844, and but for these debts
would have been applied to the farther reduction
of the “ public debt.” This is about the first
lime in our history that we made one adminis
tration pay the heavy debts of another. This
bad management cost the people the imposition,
by the Democratic party, of the highest tax
they have ever paid ; then let them look out for
the future who manages their moneyed affairs.
There is anotner great reduction in our ex
penditures which is due to the last Whig Le-
lature, and shows that the same spirit of eeouo-

1 Let us next see what has been saved to the
people in the expenditure of the printing fund.
In the year 1843 the Democrats spent for print
ing §17,215 96. By reference to the Treasur

lowing items :

Doctors differ" is an old adage, intimating the
is.-v sequent variance of human judgment, on sub
lets presented for it* adjudication. The maxim 13
ierv practically illustrated by our neighbor, the Fed-
eal Union, and ourselves. On many points, it might
nalily enough be imagined, that we should differ.
Em there are some things so plain—so self-evident—
be' it might be quite as reasonably supposed there
c.t.d be no diversity of opinion between even us.—
Among these, «e had believed might surely be num
bered, the signal ability of Governor Crawford’s ad
ministration of the affairs of our State, and its benign
iuLenceson the public weal. These being hardly the
>n‘ »ct-mai!er of opinion at all—so prominent are the
jach which men the eye at the very doors and fire
sides of every citizen of Georgia, we might reasonably
have believed that even the perverted judgment of
ibeFederal Union could not resist the evidence of fact,
nor deny the testimony of its own senses. But it is
impossible, it seems, for the Federal Union and our-
I'ivei h think alike on any matter ; for it caps the cli-
na\ of its perversity by even attempting to belittle
»u: it knows to be one of the most efficient and salu
tary administrations that can be presented in the his
tory 0i Georgia.
'he must acknowledge our vast surprise, however,
c its leader uf last week. To acknowledge the merits
of the present administration, it seems, is puerile and
paling, silly and childish. Well, what is this that is
“puerile in the eyes of our contemporaiy ? Is it pu
era? to elevate ’.he character ot our State from dis-
K: "by paying her debts—a dishonor which had at
test'd to it, because the former administration had
permitted her. like the rotten Banks, to make a de
eding failure of it?
Wry silly indeed, in the eyes of the Federal Union,
v os, to redeem the credit of our State, so that her
pomissory notes, in the hands of the laboring man, in-
e'ead of bringing one-half or twe-thirds of their nomi-
caiVdlue. should bring to them their full value .' !
Truly a very puerile conceit, according to the same
sothority. must it seem, to administer the affairs of
J r Stale at a diminished cost to the people of tens of
itnutonds of dollars ! ! !
Exceedingly puling does it appear to our contempo
rary. that Governor Crawford should especially es-
" lcw the whole humbug system, the “relief’to the
" ‘.lie, by running them over head and ears in nation
al debt—and that greatest of humbugs, making the
people pay the enormous expense of collecting a tax to
it back to them again, less the percentage for col
lecting it!’. !
Because Gov. Crawford has eschewed, with utter
disgust, this whole h mibug system of cajoling the ig
norant, and has gone on straight sailing by the chart
snd compass of sound sense and real patriotism, for
sooth his administration and its acts appear, to the
eyes of the Federal Union, puling and puerile, and a
very silly affair altogether.
" ell, there is i:o disputing about tastes. Our neigh
bor is quite welcome to his own mode of appreciating
public utility. He is welcome, for us. to think that
supeib government and patriotism consist in squan
dering the public treasure, in destroying the public
eredii, and in tbe whole system of‘Reliefs’ and other
oimibuggery, which have heretofore brought our Slate
to «ucjj an humble standing in credit and confidence,
among our sisters of the Old Thirteen. It is for the
People ot Georgia, in the appointment of their Gov-
er 'i r, to sny « hat they think of the two modes of roan-
6 ?uig their affairs. They may probably think it not
oupe so puerile a matter to conduct their affairs with
Ptuaence, with efficiency, and with the most distin-
d and beneficial results. They may think, per-
that patiiotisrn, and manliness, nnd good govern-
• :en t, at least consists in something better than the
p o,nation of their interests, and the ruin of the State,

!, y and efficiency.

From the Baltimore Patriot.
The letter of our correspondent, “Potomac,”
in the Patriot of Wednesday, has “waked up”
the editor of the Washington Union, who re
plies, in this wise, to certain intimations, infer
ences, and predictions of ‘Potomac.”
1. There is no idea ol associating Major Donelson
in the editorship of tbe ‘Union.’ 2. The organ is not
bound to grind out such music as the Piesident directs;
neither does the President desire, nor would * the or
gan’ submit to it. 3. The circulation of the ‘Union’
is advancing with great rapidity. The correspondent
of the Baltimore Patriot is welcome to see from our
books the cheering prgoiess we are making ; and he
mav see from the great mass of the Democratic papers
the warm acclamation with which the “ Union” has
been received—the interested complaints of lie seif-
vclept 'modern democracy’ to the contrary notwith
standing. 4. If Congress does not give us the public
printing, we shall not stoop to ask it. 5. The last
prediction caps tbe climax Mr. Polk, whose admin
istration is so popular, that the Whigs are puzzled for
something to go upon, and to say against it—except
fabricating squibs at the ‘organ’ or fables against him,
is to be compelled to resign the reins into the hands of
Mr. Dallas! such budgets of blunders defy all criti
cisms ; but they show the wiil, without the power, to
wound.
It is to be remarked upon this :
1st. That perhaps the Union would gain noth-
ing by having Major Donelson in its editorial
department ; but as Mr. Polk's will turned the
Globe into the Union, so may it prove powerful
enough to put the Major at the head of the of-
3.000 ; ficial paper. Tite poicer of the President has
been admitted and exercised in all that relates
to the official organ, and may not have been ex-

how much will he save in four years ? Answer,
§2.808 16.
But let us look a little farther. The last Le
gislature passed an act requiring the Treasury
to resume specie payments. It authorised the
Executive to borrow §150,000 to carry that mea
sure out. At that time the Treasury had, in
round uuinbers. §300,000 in Central Bank bills.
ietter. though due to the official history of the
times, is offensive to Mr. Polk, and therefore is
not published in the Union. Otherwise, it would
have been gladly given to the readers of the or-
Han, as among the last productions of the pen
of the founder of the party that brought Mr.
Polk into power. Oh no ! the organ must grind
out such music as the President desires, and the
organist, if need be, must dance the new figure
of ‘Polka’ whenever required.
3d. We are glad the circulation of the Uni
on is increasing. We are always gratified to hear
of the success of the press.
4. We like the independence of the Union
about tbe public printing ; but it may learn that
this is not to be got always by asking ; never
without. In fact, the rematk of the Union is an
indirect asking, aod an admission that it wants it.
5th. This is a very funny part of the Union’s
remarks. Mr. Polk’s administration so very
popular that tbe Whigs can find nothing to say
against it ! This does, indeed, ‘cap the climax.’
Here is a president who has not leeD in office
six months—who ba9 done nothing but deliver a
very mediocre and ill considered inaugural, and
been ever since employed ;u turning out petty
officers, and putting some of bis partizaos in
i their places, and in the doing ot which he has
brought U>8 own party about his ears, and set (he
! whole chaldron of oflfice-seekeis in a stew—this
President is so popular that no one can find any
(thing to say agamst him ! Well, the Union will
admit, that if Mr. Polk did not direct this tune
i to be played on the organ, his ears will be rav-
j tshed by its delightful sounds, though his heart
will tel! him that it is abject flattery. Popular.
! indeed ! A President popular who in six
! months has lost the confidence of nearly all those
; who elected him—who is openly denounced by
i the great Ajax of the party—who is is so fickle-
1 minded that he undoes one day what he had di
rected the day belore—who promises to keep
j this officer iu, and appoints another in his stead,
j in the same week—and who yet does neither,
but turns tbe officer out and puls a new man in !
This man popular! The Whigs sav nothing
against him, because his quondam friends sav
all that the occasion calls ior. A great section
; of the party refuse to take office under him, and
another require his abject submission to their
will, and be submits ! And yet this President,
so deserted, so denounced, so manacled by some
of his friends, that he can only do their will—
this is the popular President ! It is a rich joke,
and is quite in time to relieve the dullness of the
hot season.
A Seducer Shat.
The New Orleans Tropic of the 25th ult.,
says: “Considerable excitement was caused be
tween 10 and 11 o’clock yesterday morning, by
a report that a young woman had shot a man io

man of prepossessing appearance and respectable
character, named Henrietta Blanchard, went to
the mart and called on a negro broker named
Pettiway who was there, to come out, as she
wished to speak to him. He did not do so, but
walked down to the mart with Mr. Kendig, and
asked him to go and see what the young woman
wanted, evidently desiring to avoid a meeting.—
' She, in the mean time, entered the Mart, and
i following the two men, drew a pistol, and when
! close to them, shot Pettiway, the ball entering
his Jeff side, just above the hip, passing through
his body, and coming out in front. He instant
ly exclaimed, “lam shot by the mother of my
child.” The young woman did not attempt to
escape, but instantly throwing the pistol on the
floor, called upon a gentleman who was there,
to lake her belore Recorder Baldwin. On being
asked why she shot Pettiway, she replied, that
ii would be time enough to slate her reasons for
, what she had done when brought before the Re
corder. Capt. Winter and Lieutenant Biehnan
arrived soon after, took her into custody, and
lodged iter in the Second Municipality Police
Jail, she being perfectly collected, betraying no
| excitement, but evideutly appearing to have ac
ted with cool determination. Thus she remain-
I ed throughout the day. Pettiway was couvevey-
| ed on a litter to his residence, and it is said, is
likely to recover. Sucli is the account of the
' affair as we heard it, mainly from an eye-witDess.
We do not vouch for its entire correctness, but
j believe it is pretty nigh the truth.
“Of the causes which led to this affair, it is
: painful to write. The story is soon told. It is
l a tale of seduction and desertion. We are in
formed that the young woman came to this city
I about four years ago from New Tork. and that
j she has since resided in the family of her broth
er-in-law in Pbillippe-street. Pettiway resided
next door; the families visited, and an intima-
) cy sprung up between him and the young wo-
i man. It ripened, on her part at least, into an
attachment. Pettiway promised to marry her,
j and on the faith of that promise he seduced her;
the fruit of their intercourse was a child, which
is since dead. Previous to the birth of her
child he abandoned her; she has repeatedly de
manded the fulfilment of his promise ; he refus
ed, endeavored to blast her reputation, and of
fered her a large sum of money to release hitn
from his engagement and to leave the city, but
she scorned bis offer as she defied his slander,
demanded for the sake of her honor the fulfil
ment of his promise, and finding all means of ob
taining repartition unavailing, she, under (he in
fluence ol wounded feelings, resolved to sacrifice
' the man who bad trifled with her affections,
blasted her fair lame, and cruelly deserted her.
How far she succeeded in iier object, our readers
already know. In this community, where cases
of seduction are so vety rare, we hardly need say
that the sympathies of the people are with the
unlortuuate victim of seduction—none care for
the fate ot tbe seducer—the universal opinion
seems to be, that he deserves no pity. The
foregoing are the leading features in the pain
ful history of this affair, as it has been to Id to us,
and if it be true, as there is little doubt, we can
not but express the opinion, that if there is a case
; where justification may be alleged for a deed of
violence, this is such a one, and so it is consider
ed here by all we have heard speak of it. The
young woman is confined iu the second munici
pality police prison, but is not locked up in a
cell; Captain Winter, with a consideration
: which does him infinite credit, having given or-
; ders to allow her all the liberty she can enjoy
within the enclosure of the prison walls.
( The Picavurie of the morning following, adds,
: “Henrietta Blanchard was yesterday brought
before Recorder Baldwin upon an application to
be admitted to bail. The certificate of Dr.
Stone was produced iu Court, stating that Peiii-
way’s wound was not mortal. On motion of C.
K. Johnson, Esq-, her counsel, Recordtr Bald-
| Baldwin admitted her to bail in the sum of
1 §2500, returnable on Monday, the 7th of July.
1 Messrs. James H. Caldwell and Joseph R.Beard
: entered into recognizances for Iter appearant e.
j These gentlemen deserve credit for volunteering
f their security for this poor girl, whom it would
! be useless cruelty to keep in prison. There is
: slight ground to tear that a woman who could
• go through such a scene as she did, day before
yesterday, has any desire to escape from the pen
ally of her acts. No punishment that the law
* metes out to the most hardened offenders can
(equal the tenues she has already suffered—and
' in her case Justice might throw away her sword
and pronounce sentence as a woman.”

Mr. Lester, American Consul at Genoa,.has
brought with him to New York a quantity of
Grape vines of the choicest kinds, with a view
to their propagation in the United States. The
Courier says—
We have every reason to believe they will
succeed in our climate—for they were taken
from the coldest parts of Piedmont and Savoy
last winter, while the ground was covered with
several feet of snow ; and they are as fresh as
though they were just taken from the ground.—
A sample of a kind of Champagne wine, made
from the same grape, has been brought by Mr.
Lester, and it is delicious. These vines have
never been brought to our country belore, or
anything similar to them. We trust none of
our readers, who feel any interest in such mat
ters will fad to get some of these vines. For
fruit or for wine, they are regarded in Italy as
among the best in the world.
HINTS FOR BACHELORS.—Attentions
to a ladv whose society is sought by a gentle
man, are justly understood to leud to matrimony.
If the meeiings are brought about by means not
originating with him. if they are unavoidable, or
sought and occasioned by tbe lady herself, the
kind attention of a gentleman may be ascribed
to mere curiosity. But when he takes an active
and eager part in the matter, when he visits,
writes, courts, and, above all, wheo he adores
aod dies, (here is no mistake; he ought either
to pop the question, ot “get away.”

The Committee consisted of Dr. E. C. William
son, Dr. Jas. R. Smith, and Silas Floyd.
Esqrs. of tbe county of Washington; and Dr.
P S. Lernle, Geo. Stapleton and Hamilton
Raiford, Esqrs., of the county of Jefferson.—
Tbe committee retired for a few minutes, aud

In order to prevent future collisions in the
Whig ranks of the 21st Senaiorial District, and
secure the harmony of its future action, it is
Resolved, That we pledge ourselves to aid in
establishing the regulation, that each county
composing the aforesaid Senatorial District,
shall exercise the privilege alternately of selec

It is further Resolved, That a Convention
shall assemble biennially, composed of thirty
delegates from each county, to determine upon
the nomination, according to the rule establish
ed in the first resolution; and that said Conven
tion assemble at this place on the second Wed
nesday in July biennially.
The above resolutions being read, were unan
imously passed bv the Convention.
On motion of Dr. Smith, of Washington, se
conded by Dr. Letnle, of Jefferson, it was
agreed that the first selection of a candidate for
Senator be made from the county of Washing
ton. Whereupon, Mr. Stapleton rose, aud al
ter making a few remarks, proposed the name of
Col. David Curry, and that he be nominated
by acclamation, which was done unanimously,
to ihe apparent satisfaction of all present.
The following gemlemen were appointed a
Committee to inform Col. Curry of his nomina
tion, viz: Dr. E. C. Williamson, Col. John J.
Long, Maj. Harris Brantly, Russel Miller, and
E. S. Langmade, Esqrs.

Whig Nfomiumioii.
According to previous notice, a large and re
spectable portion of the Whig Party of Wash
ington county, convened in the Court House,
in Sandersville, on Tuesday, the 1st inst., for
the purpose of nominating two candidates for
the Representative branch of the Legislature.
On motion of Maj. Harris Brantly, John Mc-
Cullers, Esq., was called to the Chair, and
Messrs. James U. Floyd, and Wiley Harris,
requested to act as Secretaries. The meeting
being thus organized, Dr. J. R. Smith offered
the foljowing Preamble and Resolutions, which
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, It is of the highest consequence to
the Whig party of this county, at this time, to
preserve the utmost unanimity and harmony of
feeling among its members, and
Whereas, Rivalry and conflicting claims lor
office seem likely to induce discontent and dis
satisfaction, if not evils of greater magnitude
among ourselves.
Therefore Resolved, That we who have as
sembled to nominate candidates for the Legisla
ture. do pledge ourselves to support the nomi
nees of the Convention.
Resolved, That the nomination shall be by
ballot, and that it shall require a majority of the
whole number to nominate.
Resolved, That it shall be the duly of the
Secretaries to keep a list of the names ol all who
vote iri the nomination.
The above resolutions having been adopted,
the Convention proceeded to ballot for two can
didates; and upon counting out the votes it ap
peared that Lewis Bullard and A. G. Ware,
Esqrs., had received a majority of the whole
number cast. These gentlemen both being pre
sent, were called upon, and signified their ac
ceptance of the nomination. The Convention
then adjourned, after passing the following res
olution:
Resolved, That the proceeding of this meet
ing be published in the Sandersville Telescope,
Savannah Republican, and Southern Recorder.

MEXICAN AND TEXAN TREATY.—
The terms nr conditions of the negotiations
which have been conducted between Mex
ico and Texas, under the auspices of the Eng
lish and French Governments, were not laid be
fore the public with the President's Proclama
tion. They were probably presented to Con
gress on Monday last. We have reason to
believe, that the articles are few in number,
and relate only—
1st. To the recognition ol Independence.
2d. The refusal of Texas to be annexed to
the United States, or any other Power.
3d. The establishment of boundaries.
4th. The providing of an arbitration, in case
the parties should not agree upon a boundary.
None of tbe inducements which led to the
negotiation, as a matter of course, are mention
ed in the document. The private history ot the
transaction is also withheld. The indemnity
spoken of by the Mexican letter writers, as gath
ered from the Havana press, Joes not appear,
as we learn, in the treaty ; nor does the guaran
ty of England and France. That there are oth
er stipulations and understandings tlif.n those
written for the public eve, we have little doubt.
The Proclamation of an armistice by President
Jones was one of these. It is more thaii proba
ble. that the failure of the plot to prevent An
nexation, will make it the policy of those con
cerned to suppress all proceedings that iave not
already seen the light. Owing to this fact, the
darker phases ol the conspiracy will not be seen
by this generation.

I grove which surrounds the church, and seats provided
I ’ for the audience, which numbered about five hundred.
After prayer by tbe Rev. Joshua Knowles, an oiatioo
was delivered by Mr. Charles Lane, of Oglethorpe

I fington, Jr. and John W. Gray bill, Marshals of the day;
j and proceeded to a pleasant grove, where, near a cool
( and refreshing spring, a most sumptuous entertain-
■ ment was prepared, and to which the Company did
I ample justice. The repast consisted of the choicest
meats, viands, cakes, fruits, See. tastefully arranged by
! the fair and liberal bands of the worthy Ladies of the
j neighborhood.
! After tbe coropauv had dined, tbe following regu-
I lar and volunteer sentiments were drank wiih great
| applause (lemonade and cold water being substituted

I otic and temperance songs.

10. Our Federal Union: “What God has joined
together’ let no parricidal hand cut asunder.

The utmost harmony and good feeling pervaded the
large and decorous company ; all seemed delighted
with themselves and with every body else, and the
writer of this can but express the hope, that similar
i celebrations will become more general throughout the
country; exerting, as they must, a most happy influ-
i ence upon the rising hopes of the Republic. The cit
izens of Montpelier are entitled to great praise, for
their patriotic exertions on this occasion.
The Athens Banner, one ot the leading Le
mocratic papers, makes the subjoined remarks
and proposition to its party friends. We adopt
them, merely altering the name of the Banner
to the Recorder, and make the same proposition
to our Whig friends ; feeling equal interest in
the success of our cause—the triumph of a
sound State policy.
We will take this occasion to add for the in
formation ofonr ol<] friends and regular readers,
that we design to publish the Recorder twice a
week during -the session of the Legislature, and
give a synopsis of all impoitaot debates in that
body.
A New PrspMiiin.
The approaching canvas* lor Governor will doubt
less be of an animated character, and attract a inora
than usual degree of pub.ic attention. Intending to
devote a considerable portion of our paper to the dis
cussion of the vactons questions involved in the elec
tion, and desirous lodisseminate as widely as possible
tbe principles we shall advoca*.e, we are induced to
make the following proposition : We will furnish the
Recorder, until after the October election.
1 copy for cewla.

At these rates, no accounts will be opened; but the
cash must accompany all order*.and the papers will
be stopped whenever the time expires for which pay
ment has been made.
It will require but little exertion to procure a large
number of subscribers upon the above terms; and we
would respectfully urge upon our friends the propriety
of immediate attention to the subject. Whatever may
be gained by political meetings and public discussion/,
the surest and best way to operate upon the minds of
intelligent and reflecting men, is to present our princi
ples and policy before them in such a manner, that they
can examine them at their homes, with calmness and
with candor. Opinions farmed upon careful reading
and investigation, are generally decided and perma
nent ; and those who do most for the circulation of our
newspapers and political tracts, w ill render most effi
cient service to t:.e Whig cause.
A HORNED SNAKE.—Tbe Macon (Ala.)
Republican states that a homed snake was re
cently killed on tbe plantation of Mr. W. W.
Moore, about 16 miles from Tuskegee. It is
described as being between six and seven feet
long, colored mucb like tbe rattlesnake, having
at tbe end of the tail a horny spur, capable of
being opened, from which protruded a sharp in
strument supposed to be a sting. This serpent
is believed to be identical with whnt is some
times called the HoopScake, from the fact that
it occasionally assumes the form ol a hoop, and
propels itself forward in that shape.

DIED,
At his residence in Laurens county on the eighth of
June last, Capt. Lewis Maddox, in the 69th year of
lis age. after a painful and protracted illness which
he bore with Christian fortitude. He was among the
earliest settlers in that county. He always sus
tained the character of an upright man and a good
citizen. In his melancholy removal from this transi
tory world, ties of no ordinary strength and te.ider-
np«s have been painfully rent asunder. He was lorg
j and favorably known and highly esteemed bv all who
knew him. His whole life affords a commendable ex-
; ample of industry, of kind and friendly habits of inter-
| course with his fellow man, and nf an undeviating re
gard to the strictest moral rectitude in the faithful dis-
I charge of his various duties in life. In this dispensation
! of Divine Providence, a w ide breech has been made
| in the endc-ated relations of ihe domestic circle. Tbe
i loss of such a man must long be left and deplored. I
' have never known a man of more humane ar.d benev
olent feelings. Long will surviving friends*cherish his
memory and mourn bis irreversable loss.

SHAMEFUL OUTRAGES IN COURT,
j A shameful outrage, it is said* occurred at Point
: Coupee, La., on the trial of A. Blemis, for the
j murder of Frauk Coombs:
i ‘Most of the citizens of the parish, who had
I been attending the tri.il for three days, had gone
| home in the evening, supposing the case
I would not be closed till next day ; but the Judge
determined to get through that night, and cao-
j dies were accordingly brought iD at dark.
•Soon afterwards the steam ferryboat arrived at
- Bayou Sara, 3nd several strangers were observ-
i ed in the Court house, and some were heard
I to swear that the accused should not be carried
I to jail il the jury condemned him. A few indi-
I viduals prepared to resist a violent rescue, and
(the judge was interrupted in bis charge to the
I jury by one ot his counsel.
•Some stamped and applauded the attorney,
and some groaned upon the judge, and a gener
al row seemed inevitable. The venerable
Judge, wholly taken by surprise at this unex
pected attempt to browbeat him and overawe
the jury, was not able to restore order for
several minutes. He finally succeeded, how
ever, in closing his charge, which was very
strong against the accused, on the law and the
facts.
‘The Jury then retired, and after a while sent
word that they wished time till next day to de
liberate on their verdict, which was granted, and
the Court adjourned.
At 9 o'clock next morning, when the court
met, the judge sent for the jury, and was inform
ed they could not agree. They were conse
quently dismissed, and the prisoner removed to
jail- jSoon afterwards the District Attorney
moved the Court to send the accused to New-
Orleans for sale keeping till next term, inas
much as the jail at Point Coupee was entirely
insecute.
•This was resisted with great violence by one
of the counsel, who made some inflainatory
remarks, implicating the judge. He was otder-

FOURTH OF JULY AT ZOAR.
The citizens in the vicinity of Zoar Camp Ground,
met at that place on the fourth in/L, to the number
of about five hundred. At half pan nine o’clock the
| Sunday School met, to whom an address was delivered
i by ltev. J. P. Leverett. The congregation after-

Rev. Mr. Leverett. The Declaration being distinctly
read by Alex’r. E. Lawson. Esq., a beautiful and a;>-
