example to the people of all the other States,
(the Floridians excepted,) in emancipating
themselves from the shackles and traditions
of the past, and squarely confronting the, re
mits of the war. Truth id indeed stranger
than fiction The Palmetto State, and Flor
ida (setlled chiefly by South Caraliniam.)
who in years gone l»y were always chafing un-
(ler theeonseiouaarre of haring to more in
the orbit of the Cnion, and who four years
wobld hare preferred annihilation, to a re
turn within the coih of the Federal compact
of Statea, are now the first to wheel into line,
and “accept the situation.” But, extremes
meet in polities as elsewhere. ■>'
However, Carolina in order to vindicate her
character for consistency (said Wbe a jewel,)
uwntfnitmi womeeoynema^ first. When Gov
ernor I'cnnr urged the Legislature to inter
polate in t(io State Constitution, the Federal
cuusCitution&l amendment, they pointed to
the section reading aa follows: “Congress
shall hare power to enforce this article (aboli
tion of alavcry,) by appropriate legislation,*’
and meekly expressed ‘-the apprehension tlmt
Congress might under this second section
cl.iim the right to legislate fortlie negro after
‘ ivery waa aboliahed."
A favorite maxim of the wily TiiAitTnAun
waa, that “oral language is given us to con
ceal our thoughts." As a postulate to this
ingenious proposition, we may conclude, that
a printed political text may hare two diame
trically opposite meanings, when submitted
to the apprehensions of two antagonistic in
tellect*. For, on Governor Perry communi
cating to the president the fears of the legis
lature, should they adopt this clanse, Mr.
Seward replies that it “is really restraining
in its effects, instead of enlarging the power
of congress.’’ §o that what appears to the
Carolina representatives as an atigury of evil,
is interpreted by Bfr. Seward as a positive
guarantee of security. The governor at all
events is convinced, for lie takes occasion to
say to the legislators, “I nm happy to find
that the secretary of 8tat4 ,v, tlocs not regard
those objections well founded, but considers
them qnerulous and unreasonable.”
We trust the example set by South’ Caroli
na and Florida will without delay be followed
by the other States. Manifesting even
passive spirit of opposition, or hesitation to
tlmt which is.unavoidable, is puerile and un
worthy of our people. TVe shall, under the cir-
,cnmstances,licst consult our self respect nnd
interests by conforming to tlic wishes of Air.
Joiixsox. A graceful yielding, or rather co
operation iu the drastic measures exacted, will
appear so much in oar famr nnd upon tliS

to il.imur ami finally subject himself to be
pinioned by the attendants, ajicl have a far

The Boston Murder.
From the Boston Post, of tlic 2<nb. we take
particulars of the brutal murder in that city,
the facts cf which were mentioned by tele
graph a day or two ago:
One of the most brutal murders that has
taken place in this city for many years, occurcd
on Sunday morning, tho particulars of which,
as near as can he ascertained, arc as follows:—
About 5 1-2 o’clock yesterday morning, as
officers Goodwin, F. F. Ham and E. Crocker
were passing down Hanover'street, their at
tention-Was attracted to a sailor boarding
house, numbered 300 of that street, kept by
Simon Jackson, by groans, as if procccdi: ‘
from some person in great distress. Tho o;
cera immediately entered the house and found
the proprietor, Mr. Jackson, lying on the
floor in a front room, apparently in a dying
condition, caused by a blow from an axe or
hatchet, which had penetrated the skull
aliout two inches above the left ear, from
which the man’s brain was protruding, and
£ resented a horrible appearance. Drj Mag-
ill was immediately called, and upon ar
riving did not consider any surgical opera
tion of avail, or accout of the nature of the
wound, Mr. Jackson was found to be in
sensible, but life was not extinct.
. Mr. Jackson received the fatal blow in his
own sleeping room, and probably was lyin_
on his right side, ns the location of the gash
Would indicate. The fact of Iris being found
in the .front, part of the house strongly indi
cates that, after the occurrence, he summoned
all his energies to give an alarm, and man
aged to crawl through the .entry into the
front room. As an evidence of this, portions
A- G. Magrath, cx-govcmor of South Caro
lina, the provost marshal of Savannah (Capt.
Retnick) received instructions on Saturday
last from headquarters to proceed forthwith
in the steamboat -itarhulit tu Fort l’ulaski,
where''both prisoners were detained, and
set them at liberty. At about two o’clock
in the afternoon Captain Remick, together
with a few officers, arrived at Fort Pulaski,
and at once proceeded to the cells of the
prisoners. Having announced to them their
release on condition of their taking the am
nesty oath, the news was received by both
] irisoners with joy, and the oath freely taken.
iVithout any further delay, the prisoners
got ready what baggage they had and came
at board the “Starlight.” - Got; MagraA
in excellent health and spirits. He
[conversed freely on general topics during the
trip to Savannah, and seemed heartily to en-
fjoy the fine weather. Mr. Scddons, though
not 1<\-- cheerful, seemed to have held out
with less force against the inroads which a
long confinement mnst necessarily makeup-
on the constitution of even the strongest man.
He was pale, haggard and careworn, which
gave a very gloomy and sad expression to his
regularly formed features. Tlic first moments
of excitement, in consequence of their hasty
release, having passed away, towards the end
of the trip, which was tedious in consequence
of the head tide and a defect in tho machinery
of the boat, both prisoners become silent and
pensive, and further efforts to draw them
back to lively conversation proved unavail-
wy.
certificates have been issued, and in tlic same
period the redemption only rent-lied $1,184,-

was also blood, showing how determinedly
he had endeavored to arouse some person in
the house to come to his assistance.
The cause which led to this murderous act
is supposed to have originated in some trouble
which Mr. Jackson had on Saturday night
with a boarder in relation to some money
matters. At a late hour the difficulty was
not amicably settled, and with murderous re
venge in his heart, the demon silently stole
into the chamber of 3Ir. Jackson, and there
deliberately buried an axe or hatchet in the
head of his victim, who was unconsciously
sleeping his last sleep. That the murder was
not committed for money is quite probable,
as Mr. Jackson had in his room between five
and six thousand.dollars in money, mostly in
U. S. bonds. After the murderer escaped,
the money was found safe and untouched.

A correspondent of the Clilchgo Times,
writing from Davenport, Iowa, gives an ac
count of a visit to Camp McClellan, some two
miles from Davenport, in which he says:
Within are confined what is left of one
thousand Indians, who were removed hither
from Minnesota after the massacre of 1802.
They are Sioux, and were sent here original
ly to be hung, but as tlie Federal Govern
ment does a good deal more hanging in theo-
E than in practice, they have been allowed
remain here until of tlie original number
there is left only about two hundred. Of
these, perhaps, one-third are men, and tlie
rest squaws and papooses. The remainder
have died, with the exception of a few
who have been sent to a reservation in Mis

and interesting correspondence,iu the Savannah
Sepubliean, during the late war, was so univer

Style of the Paper,
We Georgian is designed to meet a general,
rather than a local want, and the Proprietors
intend that it shall be, in all respects, a news
paper of the First Class. It will be founded on
ample cash capital, and neither labor nor ex
pense will be withheld to give it a front rank
among the News and Literary Journals of the
South- '
Political Character.
In Polities, The Georgian will maintain a man
ly and honafiSe acquiescence in all the legitimate
consequences of the war, with the right, howev
er—one never denied even to criminals—to pro-
former position in the Union, as of vital import
ance to all her interests, it will promptly sup
port all constitutional requirements, on the part
of.tho Administration at.'Washington,- looking to
thaf end; and when perfect pC ar o‘fv res to red, its
best efforts will be given fora revival of the bet
ter days of the Republic,
lidding that protection and loyalty—kind
S aardianship and filial love—are reciprocal du
es in national affairs; and that there can be no
real existence of the latter without the former,
our support and effcollan for the Federal Gov
ernment shall keen even pace with iu regard for
the Rights of thd People.
Leading Feature.
The leading feature in The Georgian will be its
devotion to the rights, interests and feelings of
Georgia and hor stricken sister States: we would
lift thorn up from tho valley of humiliation, ex
hort them to a forgetfulness of the Fast, except
, its glories, and nerve their arms for the arduous
struggles of the future.
Commercial Department
Tho Commercial Department of The Georgian
will receive special attention. Daily reports will
be given of all tho leading markets of the Union,
together with a full weekly review of the local
market; while, on the arrival of every steamer,
European political and commercial accounts will
be given. In this respect we hope to offer such
advantages as will make The Georgian an indis
pensable visitorto_the counting room of every
merchant and tradesman. , ,,
Education, Agriculture and the Mechanic Arts
will be fostered as the true sources of ell Nation
al and individual prosperity..jd*

—The Chattanooga Gazette tolls the fol
lowing : '
A day or two since Mr. Bell visited tlie
Capitol. He was warmly welcomed by his
old friends, both radical and conservative,
All were pleased to meet him.
In the door of the senate the feeble patri
arch (for he is fast declining) met Maynard,
as all others of Hke politics had met him,
cordially. Col, Bell had a right to suppose
that the wanderer from the Narrngansctt
tribe would do likewise, and hence extended
bis hand to him. How was he received?
With the frigidity characteristic of the Abo
rigines; Jlaynard peered insolently in his face
and inquired; “Mr. Bell, I suppose ?” Ob,
we wish tlie State could have seen Mr. Bell
recallt he heroic spirit of his youth, and heard
him exclaim scornfully, “No sir it is not Mr.
Bell.” W'e thank thee, John Bell, for rebuk
ing this man. .. v»i>-8ld»AT
