the Journal of the 23th inst. (under the head ot
editorial remarks,) among the vaiious aspersions
of the honorable character of major general Jack-
son, a charge, totally unfounded in matter of
fact, viz : that “ general Jackson himself order
ed the arrest and trial of colonel Brearley.”—
Major-general Jackson was neither instrumental
or accessary to the arrest of that valuable officer :
he was arrested by major general Gaines, and
tried upon charges and specifications exhibited
by him at the adjutant general’s office of division,
headquarters. It is true, that the court for the
trial of colonel Brearley was ordered by major
general Jackson ; this became necessary, inas
much as he was then in command of the army.
Major general Gaines had no mote authority to
order a general court martial, than any other of
ficer of the army ; the law is imperative.
The authority upon which the editors of the
Journal have promulgated this mistatement to the
world, is entiled to equal credit with tl -. on which
they avow, “ that the members of the cabinet at
Washington were equally divided, as to the pro
priety of arresting general Jackson for disobedi
ence of orders in his Florida expedition. Had
the source from which they received this infor
mation, been as prompt in the discharge of im
perious duty required by the. president, (Mr.
Madison) through the chief clerk of the war
department, (Mr. George Graham) in the fall of

Jones county, August 29, 1818.
ron TUB HBFLECTOR-
TO THE PEOPLE OF PUTNAM COUNTY.
Some of my friends having generously inform
ed me that a whisper has gone abroad, that I am
the author of a piece which appeared in the Re
flector a few weeks ngo, subscribed “ Civis,” or
that it was written by some near friend of mine,
within my knowledge and at my request} it
therefore becomes necessary for me in this way
to answer this most ungenerous and false insin
uation. 1 do declare most positively and express
ly that I am not the author of “ Givis,” that it
was not written within my knowledge, or by my
consent} nor do I yet know who is the author
of this piece. 1 am also unable to say whether
" Givis’’ is a stock-holder iti some “ chartered
bank.” or a “ retainer of some candidate who
understands and perhaps practises the law,” as
Arator suggests, and to lie plain I do not care.
Upon this subject, however, I would remark, that
1 am very sorry to find any tiling connected with
our approaching election handled in this way.—
It has hitherto been, anil yet is my wish for you
to think and act. for yourselves. You arc, no
doubt, fullv qualified to judge of the pretensions
of each respective candidate ; you are also, no
doubt, every way qualified to say who out of the
whole number of candidates, are the best quali
fied to guard and protect your interests in the
state legislature. Believing this, 1 have not the
least inclination on my part to dictate to you.

W E prcsentAbner Abercrombie,planter, an<
John Rhymes, alias Rvmes,overseer, hot 1 '
late, ufthccounty of Jasper,and state aforesaid, fin
the crime of murder. For that they the said Ab
ner and John, on the twenty-first day of May.,
in the year of oUr Lord one thousand eight hun
dred and eighteen, between the hours of 9 and
12 o’clock in the morning of the day aforesaid,
with force and arms, at the plantation of the said
Abner, in the county aforesaid, upon the body
and person of a female negro slave by name Mil—
call, the property of the said Abner, tlien and
there being, in the peace of God, and of the said
state, feloniously, violently, and of their malice
aforethought, an assault did make } and that they,
the aforesaid Abner Abercrombie ami John
Rhymes alias Rvmes, then and there as aforesaid,
with a certain whip of great size, called a cow
hide and a wooden instrument called a paddle,
which they, the said Abner and John, and each
of them at divers times on the day aforesaid held
in their right hands, the said slave Milrali did
most grievously beat, wound and ill treat, and
upon the head, back ami shoulders, body and legs
of the said slave Milcah, did inflict divers mor
tal wounds and bruises, of which said wounds
and bruises aforesaid, and from the sickness arid
distemper thereby occasioned, from the twenty-
first day of May aforesaid, in the year aforesaid,
until the twenty-third day of May, in the year
aforesaid, being Imth in the same year, at the
house and plantation of the said Abner Aber
crombie, in the county and state aforesaid, she
the said slave Milcah did languish, ami languish
ing did live, on which said twenty-third day of
May, in the year aforesaid, at the house of the
said Abner Abercrombie, within the county and
state aforesaid, she, the said slave Milcah, of the
wounds and bruises as aforesaid, and of the ill
ness, sickness and distemper thereby occasioned
did die} and so the said Grand Jurors aforesaid,
upon their oaths do present the said Abner Aber
crombie and John Rhymes alias Rymes, for fel -
niously killing and murdering the said slave
Milcah, against the peace of the said state, the
government, and the dignity of the same. Wit
ness, Beverly Daniel and others.
We present Thomas Sludnian, of the county
of Jasper, fertile offence of keeping and main
taining a common ill governed and disorderly
house. For that the said Thomas Studmau, on
the nineteenth day of August, one thousaniGughl
hundred and eighteen, in the town of Monttcel
lo ami county aforesaid, and at divers other times
and days belorc that day, did keep and maintain
a common ill governed and disorderly house, to
the encouragement of idleness, gaming and drink
ing, to the common disturbance of tire neighbor-
ood. Witness,Theopliilus Freeman, John Free
man, James Freeman, Martin Gochran, D. S. and
many others.
We preseut Andrew M. Hamilton, for blas
phemous black guarding, and using the most in
decent language possible, in the public streets of
Monticello, in Jasper county, on the night of the
tenth and eleventh of July, one thousand eight
hundred and eighteen, to the very great distur
bance of the neighborhood. "W itness, Charles
Cargill, Thomas Martin, R. G. Shorter.
We present Greene M’Michaet, for an assault
and battery, on the body of John T. Howard, in
the town of Monticello, Jasper county, on the
thirteenth day of August, one thousand eight
hundred and eighteen. Test,William A. Moore.
We present as a grievance the custom of ma
ny merchants in the town of Monticello, in the
county Of Jasper, of admitting negroes ami other
persons into their stores on the Sabbath, doubt
less for the purpose of selling their goods, still e-
vailing the effect of the law by closing the doors.
This is a very common custom, and tends almost
as much to demoralize as if the breach of law
were so public as to found an indictment.
We look on the Banking System,except so far
as relates to the National Bank and its branches,
as the root of an evil which threatens great mis
chief, inconvenience and injustice, ill the state of
Georgia as well as in the United States. View
ing it (as we earnestly do) as a grievance and ve
ry great evil, we have earnestly to recommend
to our next legislature, to not only avoid with'the
greatest care favoring an increase of the banks
and branch banks of this state, and renewing
charters to banks at present established, but fur
ther to use their best exertions to prevent the same.
\Ye present as a grievance the present and late
desperate state of the public roads in this coun
ty. They have been shamefully neglected, and
we are sensible that there is such a neglect of du
ty on the part of some individual or individuals
as would well support an indictment, but from
our not being able to ascertain on what person
or persons the blame should be fixed, we have
in the Court, ind such a laudable and wholesome
display of energy in the administration of the
law, as to produce unusual order without.
\Ye request the ubove presentments, &c. to b’e
published once in the Reflector.

We present as a serious grievance the use and
abuse of the court house of this county, (except
for public purposes.) The practice of the lnfe-
riorCourtof this county of renting out the a-
partments of the court house, so as to keep the
doors and windows continually open for the in
gress and egress of all persons disposed to abuse
and convert said house to their use, for evil pur
poses in. many respects, particularly that of a
common privy house, to the great damage of the
county and annoyance of the Juries when con
fined to their rooms.
We cannot drop the subject without recom
mending to the Inferior Court, to secure the house
in such a manner, and give the Sheriff such or
ders as will secure the house from such abuses,
by keeping the doors and windows constantly
closed except on public occasions.
We have further to remark, that the present
session has been unusually laborious, and to re
turn our thanks to Ids honor Judge Strong, for
the great punctuality which has governed him, as
well as t)te very unusual decorum preserved with-
