The store of Hall & Hoyt was broken
open on Tliursdaynight, and three bags of
coffee taken therefrom, marked P. B. Si Co.
with the AgOre-2 over the letters. A negro
fellow belonging to Robert Habersham.
Esq. has been lodged in jgil, iu whose pos
session was found one bag of the coffee. * A
shop keeper in Yamacraw, named Ton
MAnct M’Gran, was yesterday brought
before Justice Vallead. charged with hav
ing a quantity of coffee in his possession,
which was identified asthe coffee stolen. He
Is held to btrl to await his trial at January
term next. It will be recollected that this
store was broken open just one month since
and one bag of coffee stolen. The villians
entered each time at the same wintjpw, fak
ing off the hinges with a chisel.
We .are informed upon good authority,
that the vote of Camden County, which has
been considered doubtful, will be in favor
of Governor Tnoor, and that bis msjorty is
daily increasing.
In the extract Which we publish this day
from the Richmond Enquirer, there is an
assertion deserving ofspecial notice to the
people of Georgii. “ We are persuaded,
lavs the Enquirer, that there are political
considerations at the bottom fif this affair

which the great body of the people have no

We copy an article on the subject of sla-
tery, from ihe Columbia Telescope. It is
Hot without reason, that there is an over
whelming excitement in the public mind, oil 1
(his subject. Remarks, such as those com
luonted upon, are not confined to the Gov
ernment Journal—the poison is spread wide
ly by must of the Journals in that part of
the country, in which slavery does not ex
ist. The Ncw-Yurk Nations^ Advocate,
referring to some recent remarks on the
subject, which have appeared iu the Amer
ican, soya— .
“ From the commencement of the civil
revnlutiou of I860 until the “ north obtain
ed tire ascendant,” in the election of Mr.
Adams, the country progressed lioppily and
prosperously, without irritating our fellow-
citizens of the south respnoting their entail
ed evils of slavery. Our politics! condition 1
is nowehanged; the south, according to rhe
new school, are colonies possessing too ma
ny votes ill Csngress, and their power must
be'abridged. l)o not the “signs of Ihe
times,"'adinomsh the south lo be united—to
act trfffdUiWTW to preserve their weight
and influence in tbe union from 'these co
vert \qd mitchievous designs’”
We have only to'remark, that the courie
pursued,-does out. admit of a difference of
opinion hers—its effects must be devt'ructive
to our property and peace. The south ii uai-
ted^aqdshould the doctinci now .advanced
b« established by authority, wiU be uutni-
buhis i* the meaBure^lhcy may adopt.
Under all the circumstances of this con
tract, we have 0ly one thing to say—If
you tl* not like it return us our lands—
Would the government, consent to roncel
this agreement ? Ifso, the state of Georgia
would be the richest and most extensive in
the Union—her whole soil might be cut op
into roads and canals, and posterity, for a
hundred years, freed from taxation by
the proceeds of it, judiciously applied. It
is therefore useless to talk of the money cx
pended in the attainment of lands for the
Slate of Georgia—the amount expended is
a mere drop iu thy ocean—and equally so,
to speak of the land obtained. As
long as one acre remains in possession
of the Indians the contract is not ful
filled—but there are yet ten millions of a-
cres in possession of the Indians, pnd it is
time enough tell ns of the quantity ob,alli
ed or the expense, when they are removed.
To Bhew the correct understanding of the
ptfairs of this state elsewhere, and ihe por
ted knowledge of its politics, we copy the
following paragraph, which is going the
rounds uncoiilmulcted:—" It is in agitation
in Georgia, to withdraw Governor Tilour
