There were several other volunteer patriotic
toasts, given by gentlemen at the table, which are
not now remembered. The company separated
about 5 o’clock.—The harmony which pervaded
the board, gave a zest to the entertainment, and
excited all the finer feelings of the heart.
A gentleman who passed through the Creek
Nation since the general meeting of the Indians
at Fort Mitchell, on the 7th ult. informs us that
the Agent has succeeded in making amicable ar
rangements with them for the destruction of the
Chehaw village. We also learn, that during the
council, the Indians agreed to abolish some of
their savage customs and substituted others less
barbarous. It is said the Indians conducted
themselves with much propriety during the whole
meeting.
Remarking upon the Spanish Royal Order for
the liberation of Mr. Meade, the Franklin Ga
zette says :—“ We see in it, a proud sovereign,
confessing that his tribunals of justice have for
a long time, acted without reason, without law,
without decency ; and moreover, that he him
self has; during this time, known the fact, and
acquiesced in the conduct pursued. We see in it
the mere liberation of apersecuted and injured
individual, without an offer to indemnify or com
pensate* or in any way to make amends for suf
fering, avowedly unmerited, though sanctioned
by the royal authority.—We see in it, a glorious
manifestation of the effect which may be pro
duced upon foreign tyranny, by a general ex
pression of sentiments and indignation through
out our country. We see in it, an extraordina
ry recognition of the powers of a Free Press.
The haughty Ferdinand, mentions the language
and spirit of our Newspapers, as the sources of
his alarm and anxiety. We sec in it, also, a
proof of the Extreme humiliation of the Spanish
nation, whose sovereign condescends in a royal
edict, to crouch and humble himself beneath the
popular opinions of a distant country.”
The President of the United States reached
Washington City, on the morning of the 17th
ult. It is stated in some of the northern prints
that an “ unpleasant accident occurred to the
President at the Dismal Swamp Canal. In view
ing the situation and progress of that useful
work the President had occasion to cross over
the canal on a narrow bridge of loose logs, one
of which turned as he stepped on it anil threw
him into the canal, he was quickly extricated,
without suffering any other inconvenience than
the injury which his clothes sustained from the
sand.
Copy of a letter from a gentleman of unquestionable in
tegrity, in Carnesville, Franklin county, Georgia,-to the
editor of the Reflector, dated July’3, 1818-
Sir,—Amongst the many and curious novelties
of nature there has been witnessed in the county
of Franklin one of the most astonishing. The fact
probably would require occular demonstration
before we could be led to a belief of its truth, was
it not that so many persons of respectability had
actually seen the Astonishing phenomenon.—
The fact stands briefly thus—in the upper end of
this county, was found dead, an animal which
in part represented the human species, and in
part that of a brute. When it was found, there
was.a cow (which was the property of Hugh
Greenwood) standing over the dead body. The
cow had been expected to have calved, and in
searching for her she was found-, standing in the
above position, and from all appearances she had
been delivered of the dead body. Those parts
which represented the human body most striking
ly was its arms, which came out in a manner
nearly representing that of human, except the
part which should nave formed the hand* was
cloven, its bead was round, and the ears repre
sented nearly those of aVabit. The chin was pro
minent ; the nose was flat—representing nearly
that of a negro. Its teeth upon expamining
the mouth was found to be well set above and be
low, those of the former were about an inch in
length. The body was as nearly representing
the human as any other part, except that it was
covered over with red hair. The legs still more
striking except that of the hoofs—the dead body
had the appearanct of the male kind. The cow
still remaining in the presence of her lost young
and it appeared that all exertions to drive her
from the place was fruitless, and in fact the dead
body had to be drawn home before she would a-
bandon the place. Those who have seen it, have
been struck with silence with regard to the cause
—many persons were called upon to witness the
phenomenon, and as such the truth, (though asto
nishing) can be manifested by a number of affi
davits,
FOR THE REFLECTOR.
The absolute necessity of removing Frankin
College from Athens, is evident to every indivi
dual who has been acquainted with its situation
lor some years past. The first inducement which
presents itself for its removal is, that the most
central part of the state should be selected as the
site of a college, thereby affording each individu
al an’ opportunity of enjoying its advantages
without travelling from one extremity of the state
to the other, which the inhabitants of the lower
counties at present have to do. Villages as heal-
thy^and possessing double the advantages of so
ciety, may be found near the centre of the state,
whose inhabitants, instead of using their utmost
exertions to create disturbances and excite a dis
position in the students to be refractory, will con
tribute their united endeavors to render the insti
tution prosperous and respectable. It should be
near the centre of the state, that the legislature
might have an opportunity of extending its fos
tering hand to this ruinous and at present dis
graceful institution. To prevent the accomplish
ment of this desirable object, tne enemies of Mr.
Reman (to wltom the presidency has been tender
ed) and the euemies of the institution, have de
clared it his wish to have Franklin college “amal
gamated” with Mount Zion Academy—thus en
deavoring to destroy his useful exertions towards
its removal, by falsely asserting that interest and
not the public good is his ruling passion. Every
man who is acquainted with Mr. Beman must
be satisfied as to his morality aud integrity, and
convinced also of his capacity to conduct that
institution in such a manner as to reflect credit on
himself and the slate. But satisfied as he is
that it is impossible for the college to flourish at
Athens, that the causes which haVe hitherto pre
vented its successful operation at that place, still
exist—no wonder that its removal should be the
condition of his acceptance.
It is t.i be hoped that the legislature consulting
the interest of the institution, and of the rising
generation, will at the next session select such a
site, as combines the advantages of healthiness
and good society,—when there can be no doubt of
its successful operation under the care of a man
so well qualified as Mr. Beman.

• The latest intelligence from St. Helena, state*
that Bonaparte still confines himself to his house,
refusing to see company, his health impaired. It
is reported that the British have sent him a car
riage and horses. A dispute took place between
Count Moutholon, and General Gorgaun. The
General had called the Count out, but the for
mer had declined meeting him. The dispute is
not yet terminated.
Counterfeiters.—Yesterday two men were
committed to the common jail of this county for
issuing and passing counterfeit bank bills: the
amount found in their possession was about 83-
000 ; consisting of 41 or 42 bills of fifty dollars
each, on the bank of Potomac, in Alexandria,
District of Columbia—67 of ttn dollars each on
the State of New-York and seventeen of 2
dollars each, on the State Bank of N. Carolina.
Tiles? latter were so admirably executed, that
the most rigid observer could only detect the
imposture by a scrutinizing comparison with a
genuine one of the same denomination. The
others were clumsily executed ; and it is said no
such bank exists as the Slate of N. Y. in the city
of N. York. On the same day a Three Dollar
Bill of the State Bank of N. Carolina altered to
a fifty, was taken from a person who offered for
exchange, and deposited in the hands of a ma
gistrate.—Augusta Chronicle.
