will confer ah obligation on a majority of the
Georgia voters :
JOEL CRAWFORD, ESC*.
John forsytii, esq.
IIICUARI) II. WILDE, ESQ,.#
JOHN A. CUTHIIERT, Esq.
DR. JOEL ABBOTT,
THOMAS W. COBB, ESq.
* It is not positively known whether this gen

probity and the ability with which lie has repre
scntetl his state, have inspired his fellow citizens
with the highest confidence in him, and if called
he will certainly not disobey. J.
A company Of counterfeiters have lately been
detected in Franklin county, Alabama territory,
and two of the men committed to prison. It ap
pears that they had counterfeited upwards of
5560,000, on the state bank of North Carolina, the
bank of New-York, amt 'the Potomitck bank.—
These notes are said to be well executed, and re
quire a minute examination to detect the imposi
tion. The celebrated Alien Twitty, was con
cerned in this manufactory.
The Augusta Chronicle of the 16th inst. says
“ All, except one, of the convicts who escaped
from tliejpeniteiitiary, we are informed, have been
taken.”—Burton was arrested in Buncombe
county, Nurth-Carolina.
At the late Sales of lots in Florence, Alabam-
a, 284 were disposed of for 226,411 dollars.—
The highest went at 83,500. The average price
was nearly 8800 for half an acre of woods.
The mail between Georgetown, S. C and Fay
etteville, N. C. has been opened three times with
in a few weeks past, by the use of false keys.
We felicitate our fellow-citizens (says the St
Stephens Halcyon) on the flattering prospects
which are generally observed, throughout our
territory ot abundant crops.
Nathaniel Hazard and Samuel Eddy, esq’rs.
are elected representatives to congress from the
state of Rhode-Island.
William Hendricks is re-elected a representa
tive in congress from the state of Indiana.
Rapid settlement.—The town of Franklin,
more than 200 miles up *te Missouri, the centre
of which was a cornfield in August, 1817, con
tained nearly 200 houses, it is said in a letter
from there, in June last!—The country around it
is said to be excellent.
Ranlcs.—Our astonishment at the extraordinary
order recently promulgated by the United States
bank, in. relation to the notes of its branches, had
not subsided, when the branpli bank at New-York
preo'nted us with one still more extraordinary,
emanating, however, from the mother bank, in
which it is ordered, that no note of the bank of
the United States, or its branches, except those
which are specially made payable at that office,
would, after the 31st ult. be received at the New-
York branch, unless the same be tendered in pay
ment of debts ciue the United States. These ex
traordinary orders have produced a sensation in
tlie public mind, which cannot be allayed, without
a full and satisfactory developement of the caus
es that produced them.—Petersburg Republican.
It is stated in an Ohio paper, that the notes on
•me half of the Banks, sixteen in number, lately
established in that state, are refused to be re
ceived in payment of the state taxes.
COMMV.VICaTION.
GREAT SHOOTING MATCH.
On Thursday the 10th inst. the great shooting
match commenced near the boundary line be
tween Baldwin and Jones counties, for a bet of
81500, which continued three days. The chal
lenge was given by Mr. Ueeil of Milledgeville,
that he with' two others would shoot against any
three in Jones county, the rub in 61, one hun
dred yards. The words were no sooner said
than he was in a spirited manner, taken up by
James K. T. Walton of Clinton. After depo
siting the money, they fixed on the day above-
mentioned. The three from Baldwin, were
Messrs. Reed, Patten and Wooton ; and those
from Jones, were Messrs. Mitchell, Weathers
and Feagin, all respectable citizens, trho, toge
ther with a vast coucourse of friends on both
sides, met punctually at the time and place ap
pointed. They accordingly commenced ; Wea
thers against Patton, Mitchell against Wooton,
and Fe&gin against Reed : for the first two days
they all performed wonderH, they having struck
the cross almost every shot; the third day the
Clintonians seemed to be gaining ground, which
was supposed to be a finesse of the Baldwin par
ty, in order to divert the Clintonians—but it
proved quite the reverse, for the Clintonians
continued battering the cross every shot, until
the number were fired. On counting the shot,
it was given up by the managers in lavnr of the
Clintonians—Mitchell having 16 shot a head of
Wooton, Weathers 10 a head of Patton, and
Feagin 3 ahead of Reed.— The Clintonians af
ter getting the better of the Baldwin party, (who
have been considered and justly merited the
name of first rate rifle shooters! challenge the
world.'.'
