A case for Northern Abolitionists. —
A recent trial in Mobile discloses some facts
which ought to make some impression upon
the minds of such of the Northern people as
are led by motives of sincere philanthropy,
however mistakenly, to aid indiscriminately in
the escape or liberation of Southern slaves.
A free negro, named Coleman, was indicted
under the State law which provides that every
tree negro who shall have come to Alabama
since the Ist of February, 1832. and shall have
been admonished by any sherifT, &c., that he
cannot remain in the State, and shall not with
in thirty days thereafter depart from the same,
shall on conviction, be punished by imprison
ment in the penitentiary for two years.
The negro had lived in Mobile, as a free
man, from 1829 to 1850, when he went to Ohio,
with his wife and children, to enjoy the priv
ileges of a free State. lie subsequently
returned to Mobile, and though repeatedly
warned under the statute, remained to abide
the consequences, lie stated that he found
hitnsell unable to get along in Ohio. lie was
treated no better than at home; he could
obtain no work to do; and be accordingly volun
teered to return to a slave State, and risk the
penalty of the peniteniary rather than to at
tempt to live among the Abolitionists. He
was warned to leave the State: he would not
doit. After he was indicted, the Solicitor ot
the State offered to withdraw the prosecution
if he would go away. His own counsel ad
vised him to accept the offer, and thus escape
the penalty. He was inflexible. He had tried
a free State, and would rather stand the hazard
of the penitentiary in Alabama than trust to the
tender mercies of Ohio Abolitionism. The
jury gave him the benefit of a legal doubt,
whether he had ever intended to leave the
State permanently, and found him not guilty on
the ground that he had not lost his legal
residetice. This man was in the best situation
to try the benefits of a residence in a free State.
He h;id been accustomed to act for himself,
and support himself, and he ascertained that
in a slave State his position was infinitely
better than it could be among those who set
up a title to “unco-righteous ness” as the
friends ot the negro. How infinitely less are
the chances for work, comfort, and considera
tion to the deluded slave, where the hypocrite
entices him from the spot where lie is cared
lor, to be abandoned to destitution and wretched
ness on a strange and uncongenial soil.
Another remark suggests itself upon the hu
mane verdict of this Southein jury, The care
with which it guards the rights of this negro is
an character with the whole course of’Southern
treatment of this class of men among them;
and the confidence with which the accused
ventured his liberty for two years upon this
verdict, is a tribute to that character which
will doubtless surprise many northern peopl*
who have been accustomed to believe that
there is no charity or consideration for blacks,
in the Southern States.—[N. O. Pic., 23d inst.

Starksville, before Saturday evening of each week.
The package is deposited in the Macon post office on
Friday evening u;:d leaves here by S. VV. .Railroad, on
Saturday morning.
Tlie same reply is given to subscribers in Buena Vis

packages for these offices, should arrive at their desti
nations by the first mails wnich leave Oglethorpe and
Am rieus after Saturday of eacli week.
Subscribers on cross routes, who do no: get their pa
pers in season, will please notify us of the tl ys on which
their mails leave the main route, at a specified point,
and we will do all we can to expedite our packages to
their respective offices.
Our Paper to Day- -We give up. almost all
our space usually allotted to editorial matter, to the fa
vors of Correspondents, believing that our readers, gen
erally, will suffer no inconvenience fiorn the* arrange
ment. They will find something “rich and rac-y” in
the letter:, and documents furnished by our able corps
of “ready writers,” ill the present issue.
Omitted.- -Our column of Platforms, list of can
didates. &e. unavoidably crowded out (bis week. They
shall appear in our next.
Nomination Meeting, Tuesday.
Our Union friends in Bibb county will please bear in
mind the meeting appointed for next Tuesday, at 11
o’clock, A. M. for the purpose of nominating candidates
for the House of Representatives of the next Legisla
ture. The occasion is one which requires “ every man
to do liis dutv.” Let there be a full attendance and a
cordial co-operation in bringing out our ablest and most
popular men to represent us in that body. Rally, then
Union men and patriots, and give an hour to the calls of
patriotism and the public safety.
filuscogce County.— We congratulate our
friends of Muscogee on their happy selection of candi
dates to represent that county in the next Legislature.
With such men as Cobb, Johnson, Flournoy, MeDou
gald and Woolridge, suocess is as certain as the day of
•lection arrives and finds all the candidates in the field.
Bibb and Monroe. —Some of the Fire-Eaters
tre exulting at the prospect before their befogged eyes,
of the election of Harman over the b nion candidate
Hr. Burney, for Senator from this District. But they
will have to get up before day, before they will begin to
see the dawn of their hopes. After sunrise the mists
and fogs will be dispelled from their disunion schemes
and day-light so peep in upon their machinations as to
dissolve into thin air all the castles which they have
erected. Col. Harman is well known as an expert po
litical gymnastic , but all liis efforts to get upou the
Georgia Union Platform have so far only exposed him to
the ridicule of the bystanders. At every spring he makes,
our friend Bob trips up his heels and Dr. Burney ad
ministers a cataplasm ! The result will be that the
poor, limping, spavined courser will come out about
two hundred and fifty paces behind his competitor,
‘''lien the race is made. Mark how near our predic
tion is verified.
Third District. —Mr. Chappell has been labor
ing successfully in various western counties of the
District, and intends visiting the strong holds of disun
ion, in Twiggs, Jasper, Jones and Butts, before the elec
tion. From all quarters where he lias been, we hear
favorable news of the canvass, and we have no doubt of
h:s election, by a safe majority. As the Colonel is a
“head and shoulders’’taller, every way, than liis super
ficial, gassy competitor, and will do honor as he has done
before, to Georgia, in the ITalls of Congress, and with
aE i* a sound able and unflinching advocate of the
Inion cause, from the beginning of last year, he is en
titled to,and will receive, the support of every patriot in
the District. It would be a burning shame, if such a
political rus/t light as the gentleman from Butts, could
b} any possibility, be elected, over Chappell. It will be
a disgrace to the District and must not be permitted,
can it be possible, except through overweening con
fidence and supiness on the part of our friends. But
them remember that it is a safe maxim not to un
tr\a!ue the tactics of an opponent. Let Union meD,
f erefore, not rest till the ballot box lias beeD closed on
the day of the election.
A Short Catechism.
Question. \\ ho are the loudest in praise of South
Carolina, on account of her disorganizing secession
Doctrines ?
Answer. J.he Fire Eaters and Fillibusters.
Q. W ho are gentle as suckling doves, when Pennsyl
vania, Ohio and Illinois return runaway negroes under
the I< ugitive Slave Law ?
A. The Editors of the Georgia Disunion papers.
Q. For whom would the Freesoilers vote at the ap
proaching election for Governor, had they the right of
voting ?
A. C. J. McDonald.
Q. Why?
A. Because, the Syracuse abolitionists patted South
Carolina secessionists on the back, and Rhett says that
McDonald is blowing the same Bugle that they use—
and further, because the object of Freesoilers and
Secessionists is the same—the dissolution of the Union.
Q. llovv many Abolitionists would vote for Cobb?
A. Not one.
Q. Why?
A. Because, he crippled their power in thoappoint
ment of the Congressional Committees.
Q. How many would vote for McDonald ?
A. All of them.
Q. \\ by is McDonald so popular with the Freesoil
ers ?
A. Because he, as President of the Nashville Con
vention and Macon Mass meeting, is known to have plot
ted the destruction of the Union, which they pray may
soon come to pass.
Q. W hat will be the effect of Cobb's election on the
slavery question ?
A. It will dishearten the abolitionists and English
protectionists and discourage all further aggressions
against Southern Rights.
Q. What effect will McDonald’s election have?
A, It will convince the abolitionists, that the day
draweth nigh, when tho secessionists will split the
Union into fragments and that the South and slavery
will then be an easy prey to Northern fanaticism and
British jealousy—a consummation which they have
long devoutly wished!
Queer Doings.—The Cuban Fillibusters of
New Orleans and Savannah are running wild on the
subject of the Revolution in Cuba. In the latter city
they have had a meeting and laid down the “higher
law’’ to Mr. Fillmore as to what is his duty in the
premises, and it was reported here, that they had also
given orders to a United States naval officer there sta
tioned, that he must not disturb a steamer taking out
men and arms to aid the patriots. In New Orleans,
they have committed serious outrages against the per
sons and property of the Spanish Consul, and other
Spanish citizens, besides putting the authorities at de
ficince, in the matter of sending aid to the Cubaneros.
Now,all this is radically wrong. Although the Cu
bans have all our sympathy for the success of the cause
in which they are engaged, we cannot approve of such
outrages on propriety as have been committed in the
places named, say nothing of the attempt in Savannah
by the fire-rating prints, to make capital out of the oc
casion for their side of State politics. This last fact
should teach sober, conservative, Union men to stand
aioof from such movements for the present.

fopwaj’s American Indian.
w e have received a few numbers of anew and |
handsomely printed Journal, of this title, recently com
menced in New York, under the editorial management
of Kah-gk-gaii-ga-bowh, or George Copway, an edu
cated and christianized chief of Ojibway Indians. This
Journal is not only a splendid specimen of typography,
but i3 exceedingly well edited. It is devoted to topics
connected with the past history and present condition
of the Indian race of America, and will embrace the
following particulars:
“The number and localities of the various tribes, both
• in North and South America; their condition in the par
ticulars of civilization or barbarism, education, letters,
printed books ; their skill in mechanical arts, building,
weaving, pottery, tanning ; modes of subsistence, agri
culture, hunting, fishing ; languages, a subject of high
importance to the Ethnologist: manners, customs, and
moral and intellectual traits; traditions, biographies,
illustrative anecdotes, with a comparison of well au
thenticated resemblances with the Asiatic and other
races of men.”
An undertaking so novel, attractive and useful, and
aided by such men as J. Fennimore Cooper, School
craft, Washington Irving. Bryant, Gilinore Sims, John
Neal, and others of like literary fame, should be well
sustained by a Christian and philanthropic people.—
Mr. Copway is himself altogether competent to the
task in which he is engaged, and we take pleasure in
calling public attention and patronage to his Journal.
The Late Storm.
Old Boreas got into a regular “blow out,” on Saturday
night last, and played many a rude gambol with trees,
fences, etcetera. As yet, we have heard of no damage
in this neighborhood, to life or limb, but presume that
there has been immense injury done to the crops and
to the shipping on the coast. The Telegraph posts
were prostrated in every direction, cutting us off, from
all intelligence through that channel. We learn, how
ever, that the line is now in good working order.
Georgia Marble —We have received from the
manufactory of Rankin, Atkinson & Cos., of Ilarnage
ville, Cherokee Cos., Georgia, two beautiful slabs of
Georgia Marble. With sueli specimens of Georgia
product abounding every where in the Northern part
of the State, it is like “ sending coals to Newcastle’’ for
our citizens to send abroad for monuments or any other
description of marble work. Our fellow-citizen, James
B. Artope, also, has marble works in the upper coun
try, and his yard iiere is amptly supplied with the
article of an excellent quality for all useful purposes.
Jane Young.—This woman, who tried to
kill the foreman of the Banner Office at Athens,
some weeks since, lias been found guilty of “an
assault with intent to murder” aud sentenced
to two years in the Penitentiary. Her insanity

ever saw, to come on in defence of South Carolina, aud
let Mr. 1 iilmore send on his troops. If it comes to

you know they will stand the noise of guns and smell
of powder as well as most of men.”
The President and the Cabans.- —Tosliow I
that Mr. h iilmore is only doing his sworn duty in trv
ing to prevent armed expeditions against Cuba, from
this country, read the following from the Law of 1818,
April 20th, on the subject. The 6th Section declares,
that if any person shall, within the territory or juris
diction of tlie United States, begin or set on foot , or
provide or prepare the means for any military expedition
or enterprize to be carried on from thence against the
territories or dominions of any foreign prince or State,
or any colony, district, or people, with whom the United
States are at peace, every person so offending shall be
guilty of a high misdemeanor , and shall be fined not
exceeding three thousand dollars and imprisonment ,
not more than three years.” What then are wo to
think of those who not only abuse the Government for
doing its duty, but are doing all they can to excite the
people to a violation of law ! In truth some editors w e
wot of, are not blameless of the horrid doom which some
of our young men have suffered in Cuba, as a conse
quence of their foolish crusade to that Island. The
blood of these victims and the wail of anguish from
stricken hearts are some of the results of the bad coun
sel given by the Filibuster prints.

has been consulted by that brazen Chech man of At

News From Cuba.
Per the steamer Cherokee arrived at New York,
on the 21st inst., from Havana, the following interest
ing items of news have been received :
The Spanish steamer Habanero, while cruising off’
Bahia Honda, 40 miles west of Havana, captured a
party of 48 patriots, who were in 4 boats and unarmed,
and were supposed to be steering for New Orleans.
They were brought to Havana by the Habanero on
Saturday, at 1, A. M., placed on board a Spanish frig
ate lying in port, and were executed at 15 minutes
past 11 in the morning. They were shot on the road
to Havana, in the presence, at tho least calculation, of
20,000 spectators. After they were shot they were
dragged by the feet by negroes, and then left to the
mob, who commenced .stripping thepi of their clothes,
and carrying on sticks through the streets, yelling like
demons just escaped from the bottomless pit, wreaking
their vengeance on they knew not what. Many pas
sengers of tlie Cherokee, who were on the spot and
witnessed the execution, were sneered and pointed at,
and threatened with the same fate. An American
cannot appear in tlie streets without being most shame
fully insulted, and it is dangerous for any of them to
walk out at night. The following is a list of the names
of tlie persons executed—Col VV S Crittenden, captain
F S Server, captain Victor Kerr, captain F B Veacy,
Lieutenant Thomas C James, Dr John Fisher, Dr R
A Toguynct, Sergeant Whitesides, Sergeant A M
Colchett, Adjutant R C Stamford, Privates VV A Howe,

tle, Robert Cautley, John Lanka, James Stanton,
Thomas Ilarnois, Alex Melllier. John Stufts, John El
lis, Wm Hogan, M S Hal!, and Charles K Robinson.
We learn from a gentleman who came passenger in
the Cherokee, that a repea t was circulating in Havana
a few hours before her sailing, to the effect that Lopez
had been attacked by bodies of Spanish troops, and af
ter a bloody and hard fought battle, had betn totally
routed. Lopez and a few followers had escaped to tlie
mountains; and it was supposed that the party executed
at Havana got separated from their companions, and
took refuge in boats. There is, however, no reliable
information of these facts, and they may be only reports
set on fool by the Spanish authorities to deceive.
From various passengers by the Cherokee, we learn
the following reports. One report in Havana was that
Gen. Lopez’s forces had swelled to eleven hundred men,
and that lie had fought a battle with the Spanish forces
in which nearly EIGHT IIUNERED of the latter were
killed aud wounded !
Another report reduces the number to from four to
six hundred.
SEVENTY-SEVEN wounded had been brought in.
This,and the fact that not a single prisoner of the Pa
triot forces had been taken,except these taken in boats,
conclusively prove a victory for Gen. Lopez.
Several passengers confirm the statement made above
that Gen. Lopez had, by a brilliant manoeuvre, cut off
communication between Havana and the troops sent
against him. The probabilities are that he has cut off
the troops too.
Mantua, the most important town in the Department,
is reported to be in possession of the revolutionists.

Arrival of the Prometheus.
New-York, August J3—IP. M.—The Pro
metheus has arrived, with San Juan dates to the
4th and San Francisco dates of July 15th- She
, brings 360 passengers, and $200,000 in gold on
. Height and $400,000 in the hands of passengers.
Tiie Pacific left San Francisco on the 15th, and
arrived at San Juan on the 29th. The passengers
traveled fifteen miles by land, and then proceeded
in a steamer across Nicaragua Lake and down
1 the San Juan river. Her passengers expressed
great satisfaction with tlie new’ route.
The only event of interest at San Francisco had
oeen the conviction and execution by tlie vigilance
committee ot a desperate character named James
Stuart. He was hung at two o’clock on the 11th,
at the low er end of market street wharf, in the
presence of 5,000 people.
At Sacramento, Marysville, Stockton and
other places, the citizens have been compelled to
act in their own behalf, the laws being inadequate,
and their execution inefficient. The hanging of
Stuart had created much excitement, and the con
duct of the committee had been severely reprehen
ded by the court and city authorities. The people
generaly sustain the acts oi the committee.
The vicinity of Rogue’s River and the Klamath
region were infested by hostile Indians, who are
well armed and commit numerous murders. They
are troublesome in Sacramento valley and refuse
to meet the Commissioners who are destitute of
money.

1 claim to be somewhat conversant with the affairs
of Bibb county, particularly as regards the BiLb
county Academy Trustees, and tlie unprecedented
bad management of county affairs generally, but espe
cially as applies to the subject of education. “A Poor
School Commissioner,” says a good many true things,
but seems, (because he has so lately become either a
“Commissioner” or “ Trustee”) to have so superficial
a knowledge ol the misuse that has been made, of up
wards of $24000, paid over by the city authority for
educational purposes, under an act of the Legislature
(which by the way was but a more fraction of what
their claims were, under that act,) that I would be glad
to put him in possession of “s jine things” not dreamt
of in his philosophy. “ fustic*,” too, makes out a good
story, but teils only a part of tse facts, and tries to color
it, to suit his own views.
Tlie subject requires investigation, I propose to open
it, to be “bone”—cut where it may—strike whom it
may. It is a large part of my religion, to look after the
condition of the poor, and I hold all men culpable who
fail to apply the amount put into their hands, as Trus
tees, for the public good, to the purposes and for tlie ob
jects designed.
Education is important tons, as a people—as a com
munity— in everyway.
‘Know thvself’ says the Greek—“teach your people,”
say all wise Law-givers; be just and deal righteously,
is likewise inculcated.
I will renew the subject at my convenience.

TO THE MECHANICS OF GEORGIA.
In obedience to duty devolving upon the under
signed, as Chairman of the Executive Oommitte ap
pointed by the late Mechanics’ Convention of the State,
to draft a Constitution and set of By-Laws for the or
ganization of a STATE MECHANICAL INSTI
TUTE, and to call together the Mechanics of the
Slate to receive and consider the Report of the Com
mittee, and carry into effect the objests contemplated,
by the election of officers, &c. I hereby invite the Ex
cutive Committee and the Mechanics, generally, of the
State, to assemble in this city on the 29th day of Octo
ber next, for tho purposes here mentioned.
As many of tlie Mechanics will doubtless be in Ma
con at that period, in attendance upon the State Agri
cultural Fair, and it will, otherwise, be the most con
venient tiitio and place for assembling, it is hoped, that
there will be a full attendance of all tlie Artists, Mechan
ics and Manufacturers of tho State on the occasion.
Measures of importance, connected with holding a Me
chanical Fair in the spring of 1852, at some convenient
point in the State, will come up for consideration. The
sessions of tin- Mechanics will be held in the evenings
so as not to interfere with attendance on the Agricultu
ral Exhibition, through the day. Per order.
