Another Robbery.—On Sunday night tliv atoro of Mr. Joseph Auze, waa eutorcd by forcing the lock of the outer door, the bolt of which waa broken short otf, and af terwarda forcing the door of the counting room. The thieves then, no doubt in search of plunder, broke the desks and boxes, scattering the books and papers round the floor, and unfortunately discovered a pock' et book containing one hundred and forty dollars, which they took, leaving the book behind. A quantity of Brandy was also taken from a cask and carried off in demi johns. A tumbler with brandy, from which they had drank, and a candle burning on the floor, were left behind. The correspondence between the citizens of Washington, and Com.

Seven male and seven female singers having ranged themselves in a cir cle in the centre of tht floor, singing to the top of their Jungs, the column marched in excellent ordor and accurate step around them, the elbows pressed into the side, the tore part of the arm elevated,and the hands swinging up and down on the wrist joint to t* o time of the step, and looking like the legs of a dead fowl with the feet on. In the course of their circuits, they would of ten simultaneously slap their hands violent ly together, the right on the left producing a noise like a volley of small arms. After marching thus about an hour or upwards, until, iu I'uct, something like color appear ed in the faces of some of the women, the meeting was declared dismissed, and we re tired to our respective abodes, wondering at the fanaticism and madness of those rank ing among civilized beings.

From Use fUllcdgevilth Recorder, 6th nut. GEN. CLARK. Ill this paper will lie found an address by General John Clark, “ To the People of Georgia.” upon the subject of “ many slnu- dors and misrepresentations which” (ho soys) *■ have been circulated to mislead the public mind.” Among the many charges in circulation against him, lie has made liis own selection ol those which he deems most difficult to be proved and easily defended, and says, “ The grounds at present taken against me are— 1 That I was opposed to the V' 11 n,,t be dlsr,t ?'> r,k ‘! 1 ?"

Such here faced attempts st misrepresentation, eon only recoil on the beads of those who make them. from one or the editors* After remaining in Albany a day and a half we took the road to Lebanon Springe, 26 miles, where we arrived on tlio evening of Friday, Sth August. There is an excellent house kept at the Springs, spacious enough to accommodate one hundred and fifty per. sons. On our arrival, we found ncurly that number there; but like moslutiiur places of resort, when we came away we Jelt less than a hundred- The waters ofllie springs are remarkable for nothing but their warm temperature, rendering them pleasant for bathing, which ia a great attraction. I think, however, that the object of the great est curiosity is the Shukiug Quakers,whose village is in the neighborhood. On Satur day a stage load of us rode over to see them, and were set down at ono of their stores. Here we were shown specimens of differ ent articles of their manufacture, all made with the greatest neatness and ingenuity, and offerod at very reasonable prices. YVe purchased several trifling articles, in return for which they produced some very fine cur rant wine. They also manufacture a li quor they call cider wins, which is very pleasant. It is, I believe, obtained by free zing cider, and the spirit remaining unfro zen is tyc wine. • After visiting the store, we were shown through several of their hou ses and manufactories, all of which were in the highest state of cleanliness and good order. They occupy large houses, and live in families of 40, 80, &c. the men occupy ing one side and the women the dther.— It ia well known that in this society the males and females are forever separated, there being among them no “ marriage or giving in marriage.” They are very communicative, and freely answer all quee ions asked, and seem very anxi ous to remove any impressions that may exist against them. This community, they told me,consisted of about six hundred;— but from the number which attended church theSunday following,I should think they but little exceed four hundred. Among them are four negroes, who are received into per fect fellowship and enjoy the same privile ges with the bust. The men are generally middle aged and old, and aa for the women society has sustained but a trifling loss of beauty by their seclusion. There was one young girl, however, who we thought very pretty, ami still think appeared unhappy in ao unnatural au association. Both ninlcs and females, but particularly the latter,have ve ry sallow cadaverous countenances, and np- pear far from healthy. Tho country peo ple in their neighborhood, particularly the woman, apeak very lightly of them, and told us some strange stories of their enti cing simple people to join them, and then detaining them against their wills. The day following, being Sunday, we again rode over to their villagu to attend the worship weekly performed by them. Tho church is very neat wooden building, covered with tin, and ia said to have C06t more than $20,- 000. It ia without pulpit, galleries, or pews, there being a seat extending all around &- gainst the wall, and .detached benches ran ged in rowa. The men and boys to the number of eighty, and the women and girls to the number of 100, entered in different squads, by doors at opposite ends of the church, and ranged themselves apart, sit ting or standing as they chose. About 11 o’clock, there being about 400 visiters col lected, after a brief exhortation to us from one of the men, to observe silence and a decent behavior and abstain from laughter, they all stood up, tho men and women fa cing each other. After remaining thus a short time, they commenced singing with all their might and main. This continued about 10 minutes, when each bowing their heads, sat down apart aa before. ..This was repeated twice, when the visiters being a gain cautioned against indecorum, an aged Shaker addressed usfsr an hour and e half, during which be explained the different tenets oftheir religion,the misconception by other sects of certain passages of the New Testament, the superiority of theirs over other communities, &c.

We cannot omit to mention the public dinner given to Gen. Gaines, (the violent opposer of the Treaty and sponsor of Mar shall anti Edwards) by the followers of Clark. It was indeed pretended by the committees, that those dinners were given on account of his former services during the war, (not the Seminole war when Jackson was ordered to take the command over Gaines to bring it to a speedy termination \ But General Gaines in his acceptance of the invitations, was determined they should not be so understood. YVe are of his opin ion, and would ask—if they wsre, why did he not receive those attentions on his way through the State to the Nation, and why lid they wait till they snw the course he pursued on Jn.ti n Affairs? Hiss ocnonecr- rig for Gen. Clara had o wonderful effect in brightening their recollcrtion of bis lor liter services. But Gen. Clark says, “ al though I have called ou these gentlemen. (Crowell, Gaines and Andrews) when they have been in Milledgeville, I never heard either of them express un opinion that the Treaty ought or would be annulled.” Can Gen. Clark pretend to ignorance of their o- pinimi on this subject, when they havo in. dustrionsly circulated that opinion through nut the U. States ? This is an attempt to impose on vour understandings, too gross to succeed. Does General Clark suppose you have forgotten the protest against the trea ty mode by Crowell, and sent to the Pre sident ? That you have forgotten Crow ell's visit to Washington to oppose the Treaty and prevent its ratification ? That you have forgotten Gon. Gaines’s letter (3) to the Governor of Alabama, containing an extract of the speech of Ilopnitholeyoliolo, appealing to the President tint to drive them from their land, and his declaration in that letter, “ such appeals to the magnanimity of our civilized countrymen, I trust und behove will not be disregarded ?” Tlmt you have forgotten, tlmt upon tits representations to the President of the fraud, corruption and treachery used in obtaining it, he has writ ten to our Governor, that he will lay the Treaty, at an early day before Con years sinco, shot the effigy of General Wash- K res8 ’ ( for what, but its annulment ?) and in —Ruth— nF»t, nu « Li!-t—i 11 ! iIig mean time, lies quartered a “ body of armed troops among ue ?’’—And, that you have forgotten the insulting letters of the m : Clerk of the War Department, T.

Without the proof ofeither. we have been We refer our readers part inula: ,v to the daring presumption.But the’ public I expression used by Gen. Clark himself, tn.

And why would behave that course pursued towards the Indians—enforce thetreuty so far ut Cast as Georgia is concerned, and destroy it so far as Alabama is interested ? Tocontinue an Agency situated between the two Slates, and tints secure a money making, speculat ing resting place for his friend Crowell— The General may say. he has never said any thing ngnint the Treaty. Perhaps lie has been cautious not to make any expres sion that might he brought in evidence a- gainst him. But we think, actions speak stronger than words, and Holy writ has said, “the tree shall be judged by its fruit.” 2d. The second question, which presents itself, for our consideration, is the interest which Gen. Clark had in t lie Yazoo busi ness, commonly and emphatically styled tho Yazoo fraud. Tis true the General in the outset, makes, apparently a sweeping denial of all the charg-s which he has selec ted for controversy, und intends you shall believe, he has denied any interest and concern in the Yazoo purchase. This how ever is not the fact—Even he dare not deny that fact, notorious tn every man of reflec tion and recollection, iu the State of Geor gia. lie makes the charge in his own words—“ That I cm one uf Cose who cor rupted the Legislature to procure the pas sage of the act, commonly called the Yazoo act,” to suit the denial, he intends to make. But, this shall not avail hint—we have the documents in our power to prove his direct interest in the purchase, and his concern and participation in the fraud, and the fruits, of the successful corruption ; and, we cannot refrain the expression of our as tonishment 'at his pretended denial of it, when he knows those documents, have been perpetuated by the Congress of the United States and the Legislature of Georgia. In the laws of the U. States. Vol. 1. from page 512 to 541 inclusive, will be found recorded the whole of the documents and evidence whicb have come to light in relation to that most iniquitous, disgraceful and infamous transaction.* In page 535, John Clark ia put down for 28,000 acrea, being one half of a sub-share (which waa 50,000 acres) in the Georgia company and on the same page ges. As to the shooting at Gen. Washington's effigy, we know nothing, and about it have never said any thing—nor can we conceive it of any importance, as wo havo no doubt, if proved on him, a drunken frolic (of which lie had many in those days) would he e Hedg ed as an excuse for this insult upon the Fa ther of this Country. 1st. Then, as regards his opposition to the, late Treaty we shall refer the public to the n,ust “ e to * ad .y Sl,t aside editorial articles of his own newspaper, I honestlv obtained. nuH (*• The Georgia Patriot,” published in this j place) ut the time the Commissioners were! holding the Treaties ut Broken Arrow and the Indian Springs—At the tone of exulta tion for the anticipated rejection oftheTrea- ty by the President end iSennte of the Uni ted States, when the Agent Crowell, wrote ! and went to Washington City to prevent its ratiticalion, and ofllie constant praises and support which Crowell, Gaines and Andrews have received from that paper, up to this time. But wo have been told, that paper does not belong to Gen Clark, and that lie has no interest in that establishment. To dis prove this, we subjoin an extract from the records of tho Superior court of Baldwin county, containing a copy of Gen. Clark’s affidavit in wnicii lie swears thitt the press and types Sec. are his property; and on which a claim is now pending in said Court. I) YY'hatever may be our opinion with re gard to the truth of that affidavit, we pre sume his friends will not dispute it ; and lie and they are placed ill the unpleasant di lemma, of admitting that the printing esta blishment docs belong to h.m, or that ite has Bworn to a falsehood. Again, it has been urged, that although he is the rightful owner of.he estoblishmcnt yet, he has no control over the editorial de partment which is exclusively managed by his hirelings. This ia just as true, aa that the plantation of a cotton planter is exclu sively managed by Ilia overseer, and that the owner can exercise no control over him. Which we all know is not the fact—and that the reverse is certainly true That the n- verseer manages the plantation under the control and direction of his employer, and when he ceasea to do so, is discharged. We cannot distinguish between an oppo sition to the treaty and the support of Crow ell, Gaines and Andrews, who have indus triously andseduously employed themselves, not in attending to their distinct sod offi cial duties, but in collecting testimooy to defeat and annul the treaty. We again call the attention of our readers to the Editorial articles of Gen. Clark’s paper, to prove that he has warmly supported those men- J[or do we think It unfair to men- was on the 7th of Jan. 1796, when it became a law. In the next page, (533) you will find an other instrument, executed by the same parties, on the Ittlt of Jan 1795, referring to the preceding one in which they say “we “ do hereby ratify by those presents every “ matter and tiling contained in said agree- “ ment, and do hereunto annex a schedule “ or list if the persons tvhn are. entitled to an “ interest in said company." Mark reader?, the words “ art entitled," are in the present tense—and the names of John Clark and the othera named, are on that list. This was the Georgia company—and yon will observe the whole was in ten large shares, and they were divided into sub-shares (of 56,000 acres each,) and that Gon. John Clark ia put down as a sharer and not as a purchaser. Again you will find(tn page 536) an in- slrmn nt in writing, signed by Zachariah Cox and M. Maher, (the Tennessee Com pany) to which they subjoin the form of a certificate, and the names of the persons to whom certijvatee of shares are issued. In this list, ns we have hefhrn mentioned, von will find John Clark and his Father for two shares each. Referring particularly to that list, you will see some certificates are dnted the Dili of Jan. some the 10th, lltli, 12th. 13th, and 14th Jan. null some the 25lh Feb. 1795. Those for John Chirk nnd his father were dated the 10th, and he and his friends may urge, that, proves they were not ori gitially interested, as the act passed the 7th of Jan. Tlmt proves untiling for them— for, upon examination, you will find no cer tifies te issued to Zticliariah Cox till the I lilt or 12th, nor to M. Maher till the 13th and I4lh, and both these persons had certificate- issued to them on the 25th Feb. Now. if the date of the loth prove that Clark was not an original purchaser, tho dates of the 11tli, 12th. &c. proves that Cox,and Muller are not original purchasers, and, of eon ra th at there were no original purchasers, wli ch is an absurdity. But. the instrument of writing, and the list which forms part of it, tnken together, prove that those persons na med in the list wiro originally interested, nnd as they applied, the certificates were issued and bore date accordingly, which you see was done immediately on the puss ng of the law. That they were the usso kites of Zaclmriuli Cox and Mathias Ma her, to whom and their associates, (called t h ■ Tennessee Company,j the lund was granted —(See YValker’s Dig. Laws of Geo. p. 564 nr they hud no associates at all. An attentive perusal of these documents cannot leave a doubt upon tho mind of any rensonnblo inn n that John Clark was one of the associates of the two Contpunics. iGeorgia and Ten nessee,) to whom the land was granted. If, however, there should, that dmiht must lie removed, when lie reads the testimony of Capt. Robert Flournoy. [I.uivs U.S. Vol. I- p. 521,] who swears—“Gon. Gunn told this deponent during tho sitting of the Legisla ture that no member of the Legislature should, or could expect to have a share, if he did not vote for the bill.”—und the tes timony of Andrew Baxter, who swears “ that Roberts Thomas replied, tlmt. he did not know he was interested, hut that those who voted in favor of the hill were provided for in the articles of the different compa nies." Observe that members who voted for the bill were particularly provided for, end those wlui would sot *vote for it are pre cluded from any share. Cnn you believe so much anxiety and care have been taken for the members, nnd others, not members, Would be permitted to take shares, unless they were able and willing to exerciso an infiuence in procuring the passage of the ad? John Clark was then a Brig. General, and his Father a Muj. General, and both, and particularly the lust, had a considerable in fluence iu the “old and respectable county of Wilkes,” and throughout the Sts‘<j. But if doubt still remains, David Glenn’s testi mony, (page 519) puts tile question at rest. He swears “that lie went down to Yugusta during the last session of the Legislature, whilst the art for the sale of the tVesiern hmds was under deliberation of the General Assembly; “that he put up with Mr. Wil kinson and Mr Sheppard, two members of the General Assembly, at Mr. Tees’s in Augusta—that he frequently talked with Mr. YVilkinson on that subject, and advis ed hint not to agree to sell it, for it would hurt his popularity—that the said WilKin- son said it would not, for ho though it was best. That after deponent found the land would be sold, lie was desirous to get part of it; he applied to Mr. Cox, one of the Trustees in one Company to know if he could get part—that Cox told the deponent he could not, for that all the shares were taken up,” Now, Mr. Cox (Zachariah Cox of Yazoo memory) was a Trustee, not only in one Company, but in two—We Georgia and Ten nessee Companies,[nee Laws U. 8. Vol. l. p. 531, 532, and Watkins's Digest, page 564) the very Companies in which Clark held shares, and Cox declares before the passage of the act, to a gentleman who wished to take a share, that he could not have one, for all the eharee were taken up. How did Clark get his, unless he had previously tak en them? for all bad been taken up before the act was passed. But he aaya, “he was not one of these who corrupted the Legisla ture”—“that he was not a manlier”—“that ho was not there tampering with the mem bers.* &c. For these we must have somc- the Legislature was corrupted h, tho*er om panics, lias been proved conclusively, at,s none but t member of the Yazoo (Vim, Dies can now deny that he was one „f £ who eorrvpteil the Legislature.
