These certificates must come free of postage in every instance OUR NEW CHURCH. The new Presbyterian Church which has just been completed, is one of the most beautiful specimens of architecture we have ever seen. It is a small edifice, but in its model, and tho neatness and elegance of its finish, it is as near our idea of perfection as : a building could be made. The thanks of ‘the denomination, for whose especial use it lias been erected, as well as our whole com •tnunity, are due to the Trustees and those who have aided them in furnishing so taste fill and convenient a house of worship and so beautiful an ornament to our town. The size of the building, as we observed, is -Email, it being only forty feet wide from Front to rear. Front elevation forty-five ffeet exclusive of the cupola, which is of one story, well proportioned to the size of the and enclosed by green blinds.— The outer surface of the building is covered •with plaster of a yellowish color, which is to the eye, and we should suppose Very durable. The-side windows are large, reaching more than ‘half the distance from the base to the roOf, and these are furnished with elegant vetletian blinds. The end, fronting the street, has three smaller win dows immediately over the three front doors. These doors lead into a vestibule tfliut seven feet in width, and running the Width •of the building. On the right of the vesti bule is a flight of stairs leading into a small gallery. On the right and left is a door leading from the vestibule into the body of the Church. The pulpit is in the rear, ele vated about three feet from the floor, neatly painted and ornamented by a handsome cushion. On each side of the cushion is an astral lamp, and behind the pulpit is a re cess furnished with a sofa. The seats are .constructed for comfort, well painted, and dncluding those in the gallery, will seat three hundred people. On Sunday last the dedication services were held at this church, and the Rev. Francis Bowman delivered an excellent discourse to a very crowded house. We hope the Virtues of the Church who worship there may be as bright as the architecture of their building is beautiful. MYSTERIOUS. On last Thursday week, Mr. Pliny Bren ner, an overseer upon the plantation of Mr. T. Finnie, of this county, disappeared under mysterious and suspicious circumstances. — When it was ascertained that he was miss ing from the plantation, Mr. F. made inquiry •of the negroes who told him that Mr. B. on the morning before, took his horse and best suit of clothes, and after distributing his other clothing among them, left without tell ing them where he was going. Informa tion was given to the relatives of Mr. 8., who have since made diligent search and in quiry in every direction, to no purpose; and on Thursday last one of the negroes made a statement which implicates three other negroes in his murder. These have been arrested and lodged in jail. They deny the crime, and as the affair is yet in some doubt, we refrain from giving the particulars of the statement which led to their arrest. Mr. Brenner was a man of good character and considerable property, and no probable rea son can be assigned for his leaving the coun ty. We refer the reader to Mr. Finnic’s advertisment in another column. THE BACHELOR’S PARTY. The young Bachelors of Madison have shown a commendable hospitality and social good-will in preparing an entertainment for their friends at home, and their young ac quaintances of neighboring towns. It has been an occasion affording the highest grat ification and pleasure to us, and, we hope, also to our young friends from abroad. We think our citizens, without exception, must ihave enjoyed the life and charm given to •our town by the fine appearance, the cordial .interchange of kind feeling, the polished manners, and genteel deportment of our young guests. Greensboro’, Monticello and Eatonton were worthily and handsomely represented. The Party “ came off” at the American Hotel on Wednesday night, and was contin ued on Thursday night. Every thing, we believe, was conducted in a manner to pro duce harmony, and give satisfaction to all.— As far as we could judge, every thing pas sed in elegant style, and contributed to the enjoyment of the numerous and happy •throng. The principal amusement was the dance, which, in justice to the Managers of the entertainment, requires some explana tion, for fear that the representation which was made in town of the contemplated par ty might be considered a “ bite”- by those opposed to this species of exercise. We un derstand it was intended for a Conversation Party, while no objection was to be made to dancing, if any of the company should de sire it. But as the guests from abroad were almost unanimously in favor of a dance, and the previous disposition of the Managers, in respect to their own feelings, was not averse to the proposition, the fiddle was called for, and straightway our old friend “ Jesse” was forthcoming, took his position, and commenc ed tuning. His ‘barbiton’ in tune —“gen- tlemen, take partners for a cotillon,” in his loud, quick voice, rang through the hall, and in the ears and hearts of the eager company: and then followed the bowing and smiling, the tripping and twirling, the bobbing and whirling, and jirking and bounding, which give the ball-room its “great attraction.”— “Old Jesse” seemed to be the happiest of all. Every fibre of his old body appeared to vibrate with his fiddle, and no power was left unexerted for the exercise of his musi cal and oratorical genius. Jesse “acted well his part”—so well, that we think he deserves this passing notice. We were glad to see some of our older citizens mingling with the young in the amusement, and trip ping the “light fantastic toe;” it pleases their young friends and makes their own heart’s more cheerful, to resort occasionally to youthful sports. We have never learned to dance, but we intend to learn, and when ever another opportunity offers, try to make ourself more agreeable to the ladies.— Speaking of ladies—were we not married, someof those ladies who have just visited us, as well as some in our own town, would make us feel somewhat “ pecooliar;” but un der present circumstances we consider our heart invulnerable. The supper prepared for the occasion, was in superb style, and reflected great credit upon Colonel Evans and Lady, and other kind friends of the Bachelors, to whose taste and skill they are indebted for the ap peal ancc of their table. WISE AND STANLEY RECONCILED. The difficulty between these two gentle men has been adjusted. Through the inter position of friends they have each been in duced to make -the amende honorable for their conduct while riding from the race course. We are glad to hear of the recon ciliation, and hope, hereafter, for the sake of themselves and the country, they will ex’ hibit more of the man and less of the hyena. MORE GENTLEMANLY LANGUAGE. In reply to the Hon. Mr. Arnold, of Ten nessee, the Hon. Mr. Weller has published a card, in which he says: “ That the * goat from Tennessee is a swaggering bully, a low, vulgar blackguard, destitute of all honorable principles,’ that he is excluded from the ‘ society of gentle men,’ and can * excite no feelings but those of pity and contempt.’ ” HonorablegcniXemcn indeed ! The veriest vagabond in Georgia would feel himself dis graced by using such language in relation to another of his own stamp. The people must keep these “ bull dogs” at home, and send men to Congress who evince a desire to maintain the dignity of their own charac ter, and that of the country. Keep all “ swaggering bullies, and low, vulgar black guards” out of Congress, and, our woid for it, the business of the Nation will be trans acted in at least one-fourth the time it is now, and our Country will once more re gain her former spotless reputation. story which we published a week or two ago stating that Governor Dorr, in a conversation with his father on the state of affairs in Rhode Island, had said, “ I should not hesitate to march over your dead body, provided I could carry my point in no other way,” turns out to be a libel. “ This,” says the Providence Express, the organ of the Constitutional party, “ we are authorized to say, is absolutely false. The son has never given the father an unkind word, in reply or otherwise, during this whole controversy.” 05““ The Hon. Powhatar. Ellis, with Geo.

So much the more worthy. mas ©ieiml RIOT IN NEW-ORLEANS. New Orleans has been the scene of rather a serious riot. ~We give below a few of the particulars, condensed from the Bee, of the 21st instant: Yesterday momihgat an early hour, a large concourse of people assembled at the Place d’arirtes, under a high state of excite ment produced by the sudden depreciation of Municipality Notes. In consequence of the suddenness of resumption, the Munici palities had no opportunity of making pro vision for their outstanding circulation. The meeting at the Place d’Armes crowded to the Mayor’s office, where they were'inform ed that the Councils of the Municipalities would take measure to redeem their circu lation as soon as possible. Since the Sus pension of specie payments the city issues have supplied the principal local change cir culation, and the outstanding amount of the three Municipalities reach at this time be yond a Million of Dollars* The loss in the depreciation of their notes falls principally upon the poor, and it is not to be wondered at that there should have been some excite ment when they were refused to be taken as circulation. The meeting were apparently satisfied with the reply of the Mayor; but shortly afterwards some evil disposed persons ex cited them against Brokers, who were charg ed, with more or less reason, as being the cause of the sudden depreciation. The as semblage moved to anger by individual losses, and yet further irritated by inflama tory speeches, assumed the aspect and atti tude of a mob. At 10 o’clock, our atten tion was arrested by a clamor in the streets, which proved to have been made by the in censed mob, on their way to the Second Municipality to break up the Brokers. We could form no accurate estimate of the num ber of persons engaged in the riot, as a large portion of the crowd was attracted by curi osity. The mob proceeded across Canal street, and before there could be formed any organized resistance went into several of the Brokers’ offices at and near the corner of Canal and Camp-streets, which were completely rifled. The citizens, however, soon ascertained the object of the mob, and with commendable promptness put an end to their depredations. It 38 impossible to conceive how quickly the infuriated mass was put down. A few of our most resolute citizens were near the corner of Camp and Canal streets at the commencement of the outbreak, and without hesitation went into the crowd aud arrested several of the ring leaders. An immense multitude soon as sembled to sustain the laws, and in less than the time it has taken to write this paragraph the rioters were suppressed. Some six or eight persons were arrested and taken to the Municipal jail. Several persons were taking in the act of breaking the windows ‘of the Brokers’ offices, and grabbing the coin exhibited at the windows. Several of the robbers, we are sorry to say, escaped with their pillage. After the mob was suppressed, the city was filled with all sorts of rumors. Amongst others it was asserted, that the rioters bad met at the lower part of the city in great numbers, and were taking steps to rescue those that were arrested. The 2nd munici pality prison was soon surrounded by an armed body of citizens, under the com mand of Col. Manuel White, a veteran of ’ls. The militia was called out, and volun teers were armed to preserve order. Seve ral companies were at 2 o’clock P. M. un der arms. The cannons were loaded, and each soldier equipped with musket and sev eral rounds of ball cartridges. We learn that two of the drummers be longing to the Legion were taken up and rudely handled, as they were parading the streets beating up for volunteers. They were without their unifoims and mistaken for persons belonging to the mob. One in dividual has been slightly wounded in the hand with a pistol shot. Charter street looked like Sunday. The stores were all closed, and business every where was entirely at an end as though it were in truth the sabbath. There was a strong patrol out last night. The city guards were trebled, and the Le gion and Battalion had a heavy quota in arms till morning, as it was intimated that the attempt to rescue the prisoners was to be made after nighfall. FROM RHODE ISLAND. The evening edition of the New-York Herald states that at half past six o’clock on Tuesday evening, the Suffrage party had all their plans laid for taking forcible pos session of the State, that Mr. Anthony the Suffrage Sheriff, in whose house Gov. Dorr remains for the present, had upwards ofcone thousand men under arms in Providence, that they had already taken possession of the State artillery, and they had determined to make an attack on the Arsenal the next morning. From the Now York Courier & Enquirer. Rhode Island Rebellion in earnest. —Our accounts from Rhode Island this morning leave very little room to doubt that Provi dence is already the scene of open and un disguised rebellion and bloodshed. .

The Dorr troops are collect ing, and in less than forty-eight hours the question will be settled. Correspondence of the Baltimore Patriot. New York, Thursday, A. M. The intelligence from Rhode Island re ceived this morning has caused a good deal of excitement here; it is expected the boat to morrow will bring accounts of an attempt to storm fce arsenal. Should this be the case, I wil forward you the news by the ear ly morning train* &7*Sinte the above was ui type, we learii that tho erbis in this tempest-tost little State has passed, and all is quiet. The “ consti tuted authorities” have managed their diffi culties with great prudence and firmness, and by their success jn suppressing the suffrage rebellion without bloodshed, have added happy testimony to the strength of republi can institutions. Tie insurgents have dis persed, and Dorr, their leader, and pseudo governor has fled. All Hail! Rhode Island. MORE INDIAN MURDERS. WAP. NOT YET ENDED. By the steamer Newbcm, Capt. McNelty, the Editors of the Georgian have received the St. Augustine Herald of Friday last. We extract the following: From ills St. Agustinc Herald, 2<J||i instant. Indians. —The mail of Wednesday bro’t us tidings cf five more murders by the In dians in Columbia and Alachua Counties on the 14tli and 15th inst. We are indebted to the attention of a friend at Newnansville for the following melancholy particulars, un der date the 15th May. On the 14th, Messrs. William and Bryan Vansant, in company with Mr. A. Osteen, while hunting, were attacked by a party of thirty Indians, who shot Mr. W. Vansant dead from his horse. His brother dismount ed and was wounded in the thigh, and Mr. Osteen escaped. On the same day five citi zens went out to bring the dead. They found B. Vansant in the hammock shot and his kull broken with his own gun. On the 15th, the same party, it is believ ed, attacked the house of Moses Cason in Alachua county, killed his wife and infant child. Mr. Cason though severely wound ed escaped with two of his children. They then proceeded to the house of Mrs. Doug las, a widow, with a large family of chil dren, but they escaped on hearing the firing and yells at Cason’s. Her dwelling burned and plundered of every thing she possessed. There being a collection of people at Sul phur Springs on Santaffee, where the news was soon conveyed, five gentlemen hasten ed to the place of bloodshed; they had not gone more than a mile, When they were fired on, and Mr. Stafford was wounded in the right arm and side. A diligent search was made during the afternoon and evening but without success. A party of fifty men were to start early on the 16th on a scout. The writer joes on to say “ These are facts and how much more remains to tell I am unable to say. This is called peace! God help us! for the Government won’t.” An endorsement on the letter dated 11 o’clock at night, states that an express had arrived for assistance to go to the relief of Mr. W. H. Ward. Many gun3 and ytlls were heard. We are indebted to the politeness of a gentleman who arrived from I’alatka yester day evening for the following: A few days since, a party of Indians, sup posed to be about twenty-five in number, made an attack on the Alligator and adjoin ing settlements, killing about sixteen per sons, burning houses, &c. This band is led by the Creek war chief Octa-ha-chee. Leaving the above section of the country, they crossed the county of Alachua, a short distance from Waka-hoo-ta, from which post Lieut. Baker, 7th Infantry, was despatched with sik mounted men, to the trail. When a short distance from the post, he was sur ,rounded by the enemy who were concealed. They killed two of his men at the first fire, and wounded another. Lieut. B. made a gallant resistance to recover the wounded soldier, but was overpowered by numbers, and obliged to retreat. All the disposable force of the 7th Infantry are now in hot pur suit of the enemy. Halleck Tustennuggee and his band are safely lodged on Sea-horse Key. Two of his warriors are to go out to the I’ilaklaka ha for five wounded warriors whose families are with them. This is a remnant of the party who fought the 2d Infantry on the 19th ult., in which engagement Capt. J. Casey, of the 2d Infantry, and his officers and men behaved with great gallantry. LATEST FROM ENGLAND. ARRIVAL OF TIIB ACADIA. Highly important.—Fifteen days later. The Steamship Acadia arrived in Boston early on Saturday morning, bringing files of London and Liverpool papers to the 4th of May inclusive. The news by the overland mail from In dia reached Liverpool before she left. The dates are given below. The news is important—the British have taken several more towns in China—have struck tenor into the “Brother of the Sun anJ Moon,” and it is ill- l- Island war, all the difficulties there will soon be fixed. From England the most important news is the passage of the Corn Importation Bill in the House of Lords by over 100 majori ty on each principal division. In the House of Commons the Tories have given in their adhesion of the Income Tat Bill at last, in order to prevent the rcsigration of Sir Ro bert Pcol and a prospective revolution. Money is very plenty in England, and although the unsettled stdo of foreign affairs occasionally caused funis to fluctuate, yet they have rallied and arc quoted higher than last advices. # The Cotton Market was rather dull; but at the latest momet* former pi ices were fully maintained. The British hoH their own in India; and from all appearaices would soon make terri ble havoqamotg the Affghanistans. Sir Charles Bell is dead.

The Coreo National mentions, but as a mere rumor, that France, displeased at the coolness manifested towards her by the Spanish government, hod demanded the re imbursement of the debt contracted by Spain at the period of the invasion of 1823. Accounts from the Philippine Islands, published by the Corresponsal under date 15th January last announced that the tnili tary authorities had adopted the most vio lent measures to repress the revolt at Ta bayas, and that 1400 persons had already fallen victims to the sanguinary decrees of Captain-general Oran. India and China. —The French govern ment received an express from Malta, an nouncing the arrival there of the Great Liverpool, with important intelligence from India and China. Her dates are to the Ist of March from Bombay, the 18th of Febru ary from Bandahar, the 21st of the same month from Jellallabad, and the 11th of Fe bruary, from China. “The British in China, have captured three other towns, Yapoo, Tsikce, and Tunghova, which are situate within a cir cle, extending from 20 to 40 miles round Ningpo. “Sir Henry Pottinger, who arrived at Hong Kong* on the Ist February, had aban doned the intention of attacking Canton. He was then concentrating all his forces with the view of directing them on Pekin,and had refused to negotiate with the commission ers sent to him by the Emperor, being de termined not to treat but with the sovereign directly. “In Afghanistan, General Pollock seems to have given up all idea of forcing the Ky ber Pass until ho should have received the reinforcements he expected, or unles Gen. Sale, whose position was unchanged, desired his assistance. “At Ghuznee and Khelat-i-Ghilzee the British still hold the same position. “The Afghans surrounded Candahar with numerous forces, and Major-Gen.

LATEST FROM TEXAS. The steamship New York, Capt. Wright, arrived at this port last evening, in 34 hours from Galveston. She brought us papers and letters from Houston to the 16tli inst., and from Galveston to the 17th. We give the principal news which we find after a careful review of our files and correspon dence. The people of Austin and Gen. Houston are still at issue on the propriety of remov ing the national archives from the present seat of government. He contends that their removal is a prudent measure: they assert that they are willing and able to protect them. Gen. Houston and the principal members of his cabinet are still in Galveston. The when or how they propose to carry on the war against Mexico is, to all but themselves, a secret; but although it is, firm reliance is placed by the great body of the people oh the prudence and patriotism of the Presi deet. A public dinner was given at- Houston on the sth inst., to Lieut. Lubbuck, of the San ta Fe Expedition, who escaped from the Mexican prison. Among the distinguished persons present were his Excellency the President, Gens. Somerville, Baker, Davis, Morehouse, Judge Terrell and others. The Houstonian of the Gth inst. says, a fatal rencontre occurred at the race course at Harrisburg on Saturday, between Flour noy Hunt and two young men of the name of Black, which resulted in the immediate death of the former by a pistol shot. The Secretary of the Treasury has re turned to Galveston with the newly engrav ed Exchequer notes. The agricultural prospects of the country are highly promising. Extensive arrangements are being made fora iarge French, English and German emigration in the fall. Extract of a letter dated Galveston the 17th instant: We have suffered a severe loss recently in the sudden death of the Hon. C. Van Ness, of San Antonia. He was the son of your former minister to Spain, and has been a citizen of Texas about five years, during which time he has distinguished himself in our legislative councils, and in various other situations, as a commissioner to Arista and the Indians. A few days since he was rid ing on horseback with a friend, near San Antonia, when the horse of his friend mak ing a sudden start, the rifle he carried was discharged, and its contents lodged in tho body of Mr. Van Ness, who expired soon afterwards. In him the country has sus tained a severe loss. I*. S. 12, M. The Steamer Ed. Burleson, nas just arrived trom Houston. The Tre'si dent came down a passenger, very unex pectedly. Rumor says a large body of emigrants are expected from your city, and that he has come to meet them. No news from the country. (tT’The Macon Telegraph of Tuesday last says: A great pait of last week was oc cupied in the trial of the ballot-box rioters, which on Thursday resulted in a verdict of aggravated riot, against Thomas O, Atha, Patrick Cunningham and Alexander Rey nolds. On Friday, Atha was brought iuto Court as a witness in some other case, and on returning to the jail, he managed to give the officers the slip, and has not since been heard from. Rewards to the amount of SI2OO, we understand, has been offered for his apprehension. William Yeaman, the nogro stealer, has been tried, found guilty, and sentenced to five years hard labor in the penitentiary. Cunningham and Reynolds applied yes terday for anew trial—on the ground, that the jury did not understand the strict techni cality of their verdict, which was refused, and they were sentenced to the Penitentiary for two years. 05 s * Nearly all the Tobacco factories in tho region of Richmond, Virginia, havo, it is stated, concluded to stop work for the pre sent. ftT* The days of Ex-President Jacksod have drawn nearly to a close* So says tbfl New Orleans Picayune.

PLINY BRONNER, whom 1 had engaged Id oversee my hands on my plantation, near Kingston, in this County, for the present year, disappeared on Thursday of last week, and I have not been able, as yet, to hear any trace of him, except what my negroM tell me. They say, he left on that morning, a little be fore day, giving them the keys, and stating he should not return to attend to business any more upon the plantation. The circumstances have naturally produc ed considerable excitement amongst our citizens; and many suspect that my nefrroes have murdered him.- Under this state of things, I have surrendered those of my negroes who are suspected of the crime, to be con fined until further developments can be made. lam strongly inclined to the opinion, from all the circum stances, and the strictest examination I can make, that he is not murdered j but has left, either in a fit of de rangement, or from some cause of dissatisfaction which he did not care to communicate. Any information in relation to Mr. Bronner will be greatfully received by the undersigned, as well as the whole community. Mr. Bronner is a man about S fret 10 or 11 inches high, rather stout built, blue eyes, rather dark hair, prom inent mouth, with a notable mark on, I think, his left cheek, being a scarlet splotch, extending from the cor ner of his mouth nearly back to his ear, called a wine mark JAMES T.
