Ominous."—An article which appeared
in the last number of this paper headed
<■ Ominous,’’ created no email curiosity and
excitement, end induced hundreds, who are
not at all interested, to call upon us for an
explanation. To each end all, tve made the
name reply ; “ Hie article tells its own story
—-it spcakB lor itself, and at present we have
uu committals to make, no explanation to
oiler; we shall consult our own time and
convenience, and wlieD we are. ready, you
shall be enlightened."—It was our original
intention to have gooo into a full and an el
aborate expose, that the public mind might
be satisfied, and to carry that ihtnntion into
effect, we had collected a mass of facts and
documents to lay before the public ; and
when we wete on the eve of doing so, nod
had prepared ourselves for the press, we
were called upon by individuals of eminence
ond great respectibility, friends to both par
ties, who most earnestly bogged that we
would forego our intention, until the attair
bad had a fair and legal adjudication They
•tatod to us, that measures were in prepara
tion to *• bring darkness to light,” and that
it would he unfair in us to prejudice the pub
lic mind at a moment, when the whole trans
ection was under the process of legal investi
gation- Beyond all this, they said to us,
that one of the parties to tho affair, said to
he the most deeply involved in the transac
tion, was laboring under partial alienation ol
mind, and that humanity and respect for tbo
feelings of a large and an interesting circle
of friends,should for the moment nt least, de
ter us from an exposition, wbioh would most
assuredly involve men of reputed standing, in
ruin if not in disgrace.
Thus appealed to, fay gentlemen whom
.we are bound to respect, and on whoBo opin
ions we piece implicit reliance, we withhold
the exposition which was never promised by
.os, hut which-we understand has been very
rrenortlly expected.
Providence SulaiUrn
The Legislature of Ohio baa passed an
act providing for the removal of the coloured
population from, that state; From a notice
uf ltie fact, liy the” Richmond Compiler, we
learo.thatitdid noi, however, go into imme
diate operation, but it waa resisted on the
ground of its unconstitutionally; but the
question hns beer, tried and decided against
the coloured People. TboCinciqujtti Empo-
porium states, that thdouprenrt Court, at
their late sitting in that county decided, that
the law, regulating the settlement of colour
ed people among them, was constitutional—
and ‘ tbo Trustees of the Township bad no
tified them, that they must leave in 30 days,
or tbo law, whioh requires that they shall in
dividually give bonds to the amount of 600
dollars, would bo put in force against them.’
This measure had led to a meeting on their
part to the number of 2000 in Cincinnati
when they chose Dolegates to make arrange
ments for their final removal, and nsltcd for
three months to effect that object. The re
quest would probably be granted. The pro
visions of tho net are not precisely known,
hut tho migration uf so lsrgo a body of that
species of population, far from desirable la
any stato, must provo a lorious matter to
Kentucky, Virginia, &c. who may bo com
pelled to adopt equally harslt measures in
their own defence.
THURSDAY MORNING, JULY 30.
O" Miscellaneous articles may always bo
found on our first page.
The Indians.—The MiUedgoville papers
by yesterday’s mail afford nothing additional
to what we have already published, excep
ting indeed a probability that matters have
bcun somewhat exaggerated. Our informa
tion respecting the movement of the two
companies of U. 9. troops recently stationed
here, is confirmed. According to the Recor
der, they are on their march to Fort Mitch
ell, where the Statesman says, several hun
dred additional troops from Alabama and tho
Floridos have been ordered by Gon.M’Comb.
The same paper soys—“ Should tho reports
which are in circulation prove to bo true, this
force will require to be largely reinforced, by
volunteers, or drafts from the militia. In this
event, where will tho funds be found to equip
them for the field, since the Central Bank
may reasonably be supposed to have almost,
or quite, exhausted the amount placed in its
vaults? Wo trust, however, the whole af
fair will provo to bo a mere * flash in the
pan,’—and that the Indiana will see the ne
cessity of submitting in peace to their inevi
table destiny.”
Mr. W. C. Bryant, well known as a schol
ar, and poet, for several years past, the as
sistant of Air. Coleman, will hereafter dis
charge the editorial duties of the Evening
Post.
The following is an ext ract of a letter from
a gentleman of respectable standing in oncoi
the upper counties, published in tho Constitu
tionalist:—“ We are all high up lor Gilmer
for congress in his county. lie was hero the
other day, aod gave ua to understand that he
would accept if rc-elccted. The Frouklin
people of both parties go strong for him, and
I believe the adjoining counties to do this all
around.”
The Milledgoville Statesman mentions that
Isaac Vincent, who was committed to the jail
of Emanuel Co. in the month of April last, to
await his trial for the murder of Samuel Ho
gans, escaped from his confinement a short
time since. The editor bays the circumstan
ces connected with this escape, have caused
a violent presumption—that it was effected
through the connivance of the jailer, Edward
Rich who is reported to have since disappear
ed from the county. A statement of the fact
has been transmitted to the Executive Office.
The presentation of swords prepared by the
unanimous resolution of the Maryland Legis
lature, to Capt. Ballard and Lieut. Mayo, of
the U. States Navy, in testimony of the high
sense entertained of their services during the
last war took place on the 20th ioEt. at Anna
polis.
It is stated in the Philadelphia Press that
Rowland Stephenson has been foi some time
residing in Bristol (Pa.) It is rumored that
he has completed the purchase of Dr. Ship-
pen’s very handsome establishment and farm
in the vicinity of that borough.
Some of the newspapers have announced
“numerous and heavy failures in New Or
leans.” The New York Journal of Com
merce asserts that the facts having been as*
ccrtaioed, the result is that “only two houses
of any note have failed, and those not enti
tled to the eulogiums pronounced upon
them.”

b’clock on Saturday afternoon. The thun-

Another slaver captured.—About
three weeks ago we gave an account of the
capturo on the lstinst. of the Spanish slave
brig Mulntte.by the English schr Pickle. The
brig Mary Jano, arrived at Now York on tho
19th inst. in eight days from Havana. The
day before the Mary Jane sailed his B.
M. schooner Monkey, Lieut. Cole, in corapa
ny with the Spanish brig P/ovidencia, arrived
with a cargo of 350 slaves which thcschoon
er had captured a few days previous, after an
engagement of 35 minutes. The schooner
mounts 1 gun, with a compliment of 2C men
and the brig is pierced for 18, and mounts 8
guns and 5G men. Many of the Slaves had
died with Small Pox which prevailed on
board, aod about 60 had jumped overboard
and drowned themselves in preference to
having their throats cut by the English, as
the Spaniards had told them would be the
case in the ovent of being captured.
Private accounts state, (fiat there had re
cently been numerous fuilures among the
shop-keepers in Havana, which had thrown
the place into much confusion, and it wns
expected these disasters would be severely
fell. Money was extremely 3carcc, and dis
counts 2 1-2 a 3 per cent, a month.
Further efforts would be made on the next
day, to complete the pannel.
The correspondent of the Baltimore Re
publican, mentions, that Mr. Southard had
gone to New-Jersey, but that his attendance
would of course bo wanledagaio, and says—
“ This case bids fair to last all the summer—
the vexatious objections raised to every step
of the proceedings by Watkins and hiscoun
sel are beyond the conception of any person
not actually present.”
The samo writer, in noticing the trial of
the $750 case, states that “ Mr. Southard,
when before the court as a witness, gave his
testimony unrosertedly : and was apparently
very much affected by the disclosure of all
tho acts of Dr. Watkins. Ho must have
come to a stand with an opinion entirely tot
tied,that Watkins had abused his confidence,
for he bad in his possession a letter written by
him, at Philadelphia, while in the custody of
the marshal, imploring his interposition and
support, by affirming the statements of which
ho had been guilty from time to time.”
Tho following is the letter mentioned, cv
ery material statement contained in which,
it is said, was proved to be utterly false.
Philadelphia, JUay 1, 1829.—On you and
perhaps on you alone, my worthy and hon
oured Sir .depends the future peace or lasting
misery of an innocent, excellent wife ami
ten children. Their husband and father
nppeals to your mercy to save, not himself,
but them from shame and contutnley. Driven
to desperation at times, by the embarra^-
ments in which bis long and ardent political
warfare involved him, every other Bource
exhausted, he resorted to his official authori
ty to rnise funds, which he most firmly be
lieved at ihn time would result in no loss ei
ther to the public or to individuals. Fat

“ Moflchotoa are said to bo usually numer

prevalent among them last summer, they

Respecting me fracas ut Sparta, an ac*
count of which from the Augusta Courier,
wc published in our Inst, the Constitutional
ist, of Tuesday agreeably to its promise, gives
it some further notice, as follows
We regret that the affair nt Sparta should
have found its way iulo the newspapers since
the parties have been bound over to Court
and Justice always decides most correctly
when she has listened at the trial, for the first
time to the Law and Ihe Testimony.
With llie assailant or assnilod, the cause
and conclusion of tue quarrel, we have noth
ing to do, our object is to correct a misre
presentation which if left to itself might work
an injury to tho character of tho State at
large, and to Governor Forsyth individually
We state then that some time after the
Governor arrived with his family in Sparta,
nnd while he was in the street, his attention
was attracted by a noise nt bis boarding bouse,
whither he immediately went to ascertain the
cause. He passpd through the house into
the yard where ‘bore were several persons,
one of whom was striking another with a pis
tol which had before been discharged- Mr.
For.-yth commanded the peace and called
upon the bystanders to obey the order. One
pe*. m, perhaps there were others, advanced
towards him lor the purpose of preventing
inttrf. lence, but as soon as it was perceived
that the Governor was present, every dispo
sition was manifest to obey the proper au
thority. The report asserting that the Go
vernor was collared and a dirk lifted against
him is wholly incorrect The parlies were
subsequently bound over by a Justice of the
Peace.
In behalf of Sparta, we would only soy,
there is no spot in Georgia more strongly
marked by .hospitality and intelligence, and
if, as in other places, disturbances sometimes
occur, while wo regret them we cannot ad
mit that they should give a character cither
to the country or town- Hancock is prover
bial for its firmness, correctness and liberali
ty, and Sparta merits all we have said of it
and much more.
The Cherokee Phceuix appears to be very
sensitive respecting tbe report lately abroad
that the Indians were making extensive pre
parations to remove and requests all who
have given it circulation to publish the fol

The Cherokees are not making any pre
parations to remove, but on the contrary, that
they continue to make improvements as here
tofore. We see houses erecting wherever
we go—they are enlarging their farms—the
progress of education is eocouragiog, and the
improvement in morals has never been so
flattering. These are facts on which tbe
public may depend, until we shall inform
them otherwise. We know, not what course

Ve ”Before Ixloae my remark, upon :h»
portant subject, I beg leave to call th i atten-
tioq of your honorabfo hody, W the g eat 0h-
jeot I have thee long: boon, labourmi o pro-
dooo for tho highest agriouiluralaitl oom-
mercial interests of.the State.
Within Ihe last two years, ond street od-
tained tho charter for tho Brtinswic : Canal,
about siaty thousand boles of cotton pel‘an
num have descended the Oconee, Oomutgue
and Alabama rivers to Darion, (not obalo sold
there) which have been Irons-ehipredtn sloopa
and schooners, at great expense ond damage
on tho cotton, round to Savannah and Char
leston—which cotton, of right, belongs to
Brunswick. „ , , , ,
Now, if the Brunswick Canal had been
cut, this cotton could liavo boon shipped di
rect to Brunswick without unloading, at the
name datunco and freight that it can bo ®hip-
p.-d to Darien: in w h icbcano the prod ucisoLj
all the Western parts of the State would diM/j
tr*and as much money to the planicr. at
ltrrtgoville and Macon, as at Augusta. [| ■[/ ]
is the great object I am laboring to prodaj
and I will ultimately do it.]
Tho difference of those two markets anL
that of Augus|p, have n ways been and will
continue, till Brunswick is opened 10 ihe in
terior, from one and a half |,0 two cents per
pound on cotton against the joint interest of
these Western counties—tbo physical strength
and wealth of the State.
Calculating the bales lo avcrogo300 pounds
each, at a dift*erence ogai at the; common in
terest ofthesa counties, of one and a half ota.
per pound, (the lowest calculation) or 4 dol
lars and 50 cents per bale on 120,000 bales
shipped to Savannah and Chorlcston. by way
of Darien within the two past years, would
have amounted, within bounds, to o clear
suviiig a”d m« rcoac of weultb to these coun
ties ond the Stale, of 540.000 dohars—ovt*r
holt’a million of money, besides tho increase
of cotton and other trade which would, by
this time have been turned in ’hat direction
for nn export market ot Brunswick, in addi-
dition to an equal amount of saving in the
return -iipplics for internal consumption ;
v' hirb together, would have amounted to an
«. til ni saving and increase of weultb from
•In- same industry and labour of the people
for ihe two past years, of one and a quarter,
10 one nnd a half million of dollars ; besides
• he increase of reul estate in Milledgcvillc,
Maro- Him lord, Dublin, and the vicinity of
the Oconee, Ocinulgoe, the Alatamaha and
Brunnwick.
If my contemplated twelve mile Steam
Boat Caunl below, will produce such nn ef
fect for the better, of which there can be no
reasonable and honest contradiction, can your
honorable b dy d< ubt for a moment, that tho
(•lock wi I not bo valuable ? and that the
highest interest of the Stnto would be promc-
• ed by hit becoming a subi-criber for 60,OOfif
dollars of s-nid stock, to start the enterprise
and harmonise its advocates ?
Wbqp the Charleston rail road tn Hm
”«rg and Augiisa is completed, in the coin
of two or three years, of which there can b?
no reasonable doubt, where is Georgia to
look for a commercial sea port adequate to
her destined grcndiesn, as the most proper
field and asylum for her hnults and c't zens nf
commercial ami mechanical enterprise, hue.

It will he found that about 80,000 haler of
cotton have descended the same route tu Da

Charleston tho present year 1829.
Extract from a memorial of the principal
Commissioners for the eslablihmerit of the
Brunswick Canal Company, dated 25th Nov.
1823, and presented to the Legislature.
“An ob|cct so great nnd desirable for the
general wclfnto cannot be abandoned bv
your mcmorailists, while they feel influenced
by such n lively hope, that the great inter
est of tho people, will insure tho n|*fjrobation v
and encouragement of the Legislature to an *
enterprise so laudablo aud important to tbe
State.
Although it is at present headed by imli
viduals, your memorialists cannot perceive
why that circumstance should render their
object less important ! Ou the other hand
they feel this to be n double inducement lo
ttbk for encouragementThey, therefore,
pray your honorable body to pass an act or a
joint resolution, authorising his Excellency
tbe Governor to subscribe m the name of the
State, for fifty thousand dollars of the Bruiif-
wick Canal Stock ; the State to be entitled
to appoint two Directors; with a view of en
abling your momorinlifts tn surn onnt the pre-
m nt fiiculln s which hargovei the • "triiug
ol the r enterprise and to place the tame in
ibat routine of harmony and unison of pul-
lie spirit, which it verily seems lo them eo
great nn obj ct, requiring so sma I an amount
nf money, in proportion to ite great useful
ness. should bo crowned with.
Your memorialists ask your honorable hr
d> for this eneourogoment, upon grounds
whereby tho State can loso'nothing—That is
10 sniy. if tho State will obligate herself to
take $50,000 of thcttock, and by so doing it
should turn out to harmonize the exertions
oi tho present nominal Commissioners am
the voice of public sentiment, in the procv r
moot of subacriptions for the balance rca.,
red to cut the aforesaid Steam Boat Canal.— 1
Bny 150,000 dollars, then, in that case, tho
State will commence the payment of her ra
tio of the instalments, as may be necessary,
from time time to time, to carry the work in
to effect, but not otherwise.
Believing jour honorable body will clear
ly perceive Iho views andjuolico of tho ob-
iect of your memorialists, they would now
ask leave to state the ground which actuates
them lo pray for the above encouragement.
