s CONSTITUTIONALIST, i -- . I AUGUSTA : FRIDAY, JUNE 3. 1825. j We learn by private letters from Mil- ‘ ledgeville that the Legislature will proba- 1 bly continue in session for a fortnight yet ( to come. The Territory lately acquired will no doubt be distributed by Lottery, and a Bill, very little differing from other Land Lottery Bills, has passed to its third j reading in the House of Representatives an attempt will however, be made to alter i its features, by providing for considerable > reservations, and proportioning the price of' the Grant to the value of the Land. The;, trial of the Fraction-Selling Commissioners \ is proceeding. The case of Loving is un-l| dec investigation and the evidence is said to be strongly against him. The Commit tee on the state of the Republic is busily engaged in tracing the causes of the mas-! sacre of MTntosh and his friends, and itj is thought that this dreadful affair will be; proved to have arisen from the instigation! of white men. Chilly M'lntosh with ai number of chiefs are at Milledgeville, and! waiting, it is said, that communication from! the President which will determine thei course they shall pursue They are calm, resolute and patient. If the government ' interfere, as it should, the ends of justice may be attained, and they will be satisfied ; but if, as some humane editors suggest, the Indians are to be left to themselves and suffered to adjust their own disputes—we may look for the strife of contending Chief tains and the horrors of savage warfare up on our borders. We do believe that the President will obey the dictates of pru dence and wisdom, and (hat the expectations of the friends of the murdered M'lntosh, L as well as those of the freemen of Georgia will be fully realized. We are happy to say that our letters also inform us that Governor Troup’s official conduct is greatly approved in every quar ter, and that his re-election in the fall may be confidently expected. — 9o© We are glad to see that the President ♦ manifests a disposition to investigate char ges against officers, without being govern ed in his opinions by the decision of others. In the case of midshipman Van Dyke, Mr. Adams has promptly reversed the judgment of a Court Martial and restored the officer to the service from which he had been expelled. We hope the practice will con tinue, and that the President will decide for himself—at least in all cases where the reputation of public servants may be concerned. Indeed no man can per form the duties of chief magistrate with honor or propriety, whose opinions are moulded by any secret adviser or member of his Cabinet. We have adverted to the case of midshipman Van Dyke, merely for the purpose of expressing a hope that a cane decided by Mr. Adam’s predecessor may be brought up and reviewed. It is the case of a Georgian, whose public services and jbility arc generally known—and if, as has been asserted, Mr. Monroe adopted the opinion of the Attorney General without reading the evidence upon which it wan founded, it will but bo an act of justice on the part of the President, uow to consider the evidence of both sides, and the more so because tire opinion of .the Attorney Gene ral is represented as mistaking that evi dence in several essential .particulars. It is certain that the decision was made at a time of great excitement—when the Secre taries of Mr. Monroe were almost quarrel ing for the succession in his very presence arid when their feelings must have been communicated in some degree to him. The present calm presents a favorable opportu nity to correct the errors—if errors there were, of that period. Let the present Administration be judged by its measures." This sentiment of Mr. Crawford uttered at a dinner given him in Lexington, js every where admired for its patriotism and mag nanimity. It contains in truth, the princi ple by which the Republicans who suppur ted Mr. Crawford are governed. They en ter into no coalitions with the friends of Gen. Jackson or any body else in opposition to the administration which, so long as its mea sures deserve it, will meet their support. When however the President and hi» Ca binet shall vary their course from the cli sections of the Republican chart—they will ?*ot fail to point out such deviations and condemn them as errors; and this have been their conduct had Mr. Crawlord 1 himself been the President. J Major Andrews, of the War Department, j (says the Charleston Patriot) passed through ] Fayetteville on his way to Georgia, on the 24th inst. It is expected that he has been deputed to visit the Indian territory, to as- ! certain the causes and extent of the late dis turbances there, FLORIDA LAW) SALES. ' We leant by a gentleman from Talahas- ] see, who attended the government sale of j land on the 16th instant, that the number of bidders wassmall. The purchasers were j mostly from the neighboring states, whose intention it was to become actual settlers. —i* The lands disposed of, although only the!] best were taken, were at little above the*, government price. Thejr are represented | to be excellent. The inferior lands were , put up, but no offer was made. ( Sav. Georgian. | The illustrious Humboldt, says a Liver- pool paper, is the president of an associa- j ■tion for opening a communication between ( jthe Atlantic and Pacific. There are two 1 (associations, totally unconnected with each ] (other for opening communications between jthe two Oceans, The association of which 1 Humboldt is president, proposes to cut a .ship canal by the Isthmus of Tchuantepe, jin the state of Mexico ; the other intends to iperform a similar work by the Luke Nicar agua in the state of Guatimala. HORRID°MURDER!! On Saturday the 22tl ultimo a man bvthe i name of Gunnels, of this District, was inur-j , dered by his step brother, Aaron Carter,' while asleep, in the most shocking and bru tal manner. It appears from a brief ac ' count given of the transaction by a friend, they had, had some previous dispute, and . heated by the intoxicating draft the former , fell asleep. The latter seizing this advan tage, deliberately knocked out his brains with a chib. We arc further told that upon • questioning Carter he had the effrontery not| , only to acknowledge himself the perpetra-i l tor, but added he would do it again, was it! to do over.—He is safely lodged in jail at Edgefield, to await the justice due so dis • graceful and fiend-like transaction. I - - Hamburg Gazette. r A letter from Paris, published in the Lon don Literary Gazette of the sl|) git. con tains the following paragraph. •• The edition of a Selection of tne H arks of English classic Authors, printed by Didot, published by Galignam, n.id edited . by Mr. tVashinglun Irving, promises to be a good speculation, 1 he habit ot reading, and even speaking English is quite the or der of the day ; and the work is what you call, in London, well got up, and much cheaper than the English editions. But eve , ry body is surprised that Mr. Irving should put himself at the bead of such an enterprise. An American it; Paris,.editing Bril , ish Works, is a sort of anomaly amounting here to a positive scandal. Such a life, it is said, is neither dignified nor patriotic. , Que Sir Walter Scott/mhlle lu Ouvragis its Auteurs Anglais ceta sc conceit. via is —that an American should pass his time in increasing British fame and enriching French commerce, ctla ne concoit pas.’* The case may, however, be easily, un i derstood. Mr. Irving passes his time where . he is most amused, and where he can pro-' i cure the largest income. i 1 New-York, May 20. r We learn by the brig Margaret-Wright, . captain Chamberlain, arrived at this port , yesterday from Campeachy, that great re juicing took place in that city for three suc cessive days, all the troops were out, and ’ firing 100 gun? each day, in consequence of ; Great Britain having acknowledged their in . dependence. Capt. C. informs that he took , a part of the troops from Alvarado to Cam peachy, who were received with all possible politeness from the government of Yucatan; i the general and officers gave up their com | missions quietly. Gen. Santander and the , principal officers were given high offices un der government. All was quiet and the people-atisfied.

May 21. 1 Alkany Theatre.— The new theatre at t Albany was opened, for the first time on . Wednesday evening last, under the man agement of Mr. Giltert. The Albany Daily Advertiser, gives a long description of tlie house, and ot its internal constiuction and i ornaments, which appear to reflect great • credit on the architect and builder. It is . lib teet deep, 60 feet wide, and 40 feet , high. The prize address, written by Thomas VV ells, Esq. of Boston, was delivered by Mr. Bairett; after which, the two pieces, “ Laugh when you Can,” and “ liaising the Wind,” were performed before a full and 1 fashionable audience. With the exception of , Mr. and Mrs. Barrett, and Mr. and Mrs. Stone, we do not observe any names in the company of much celebrity; but it is said that Mr. Booth, and, (as Major Noah calls her,) tire “ beaulitu] Mrs. Henry,” are en gaged and several vocalists of decided tal ents. The orchestra is spoken of as not in terior to any in the United Slates; and it is nut doubted, that the establishment, un der Us present management, will have a sen sible effect in improving the taste of the citizens of Albany. [Post. GENERAL UA&HINGTON. i As out all cHurts tor this distinguished man have rather been suspended for some! time past, ami our national devotions run ning warmly in another channel, I do not I know whether an anecdote of him would 'I just at this time, be attended to ; but, sup posing the national feeling will soon be re turning back toils sober senses, I will ven ture to relate it. It was given to the writer by an old and very respectable citizen, now no more—one who was intimately acquain ted with the General, and the fact: Many years ago, and sometime before the revolution, Colonel Washington and his la- „ dy was in the habit of visiting 4 watering place in Virginia, and at which place there ' was a great resort of company, among wliom there always were poor, sick, and lame peo- i pie, who came to seek the benefit of the wa- ' ters, with very slender means. An ac quaintance with the situation of these peo ple, was the constant but secret care of col onel Washington. It was observed by the relater of this anecdote, that they drew fresh bread every day, without money. Curiosi ty led him lo enquire of the baker how he expected to get paid ; he hesitated, and said he was enjoined not to tell; that the very people that eat the bread did not know who paid for it. This but increased his curios ity ; when with strong injunctions of secre cy, he whispered in hi» ear, he received his | pay from colonel Washington; that it had always been his practice when at Bath, and that the bill was a pretty considerable one. Ji proof that a man can be his own grandfather. —There was a widow and her ,daughter in-law, and a man and his son. The widow married the son, and the daugh ter the old man; the widow was therefore, , mother to her husband’s father, conse- ■ ■ quently grandmother to her own husband. They had a son to whom she was great grandmother; now as the son of a great grandmother must be either a grandfather or great uncle ; this boy was therefore his own grandfather. N.B. This was actually the case of a boy at school in Norwich. [*S«/. Magazine.
