S' -peat, that unless we are must ogre

stands upon a basis which cannot be shaken.
He possesses in the language of a great and
good man, “ a free and independent mind,
a habit of estimating men and things by
. another rule than the opinions of the day,
t of making truth the great object of his re
searches, and of respecting himself too
much to be dazzled by artificial splendor,
or awed by arrogant presumption.”

Governor leit to his discretion as to the
proper time for employing them. The
Committee on the state of the Republic

Remarkable Speed. —The pilot-boat Sa
vannah, Captain White, arrived yesterday
from Charleston, to which place she was
despatched with the intelligence reported
by the arrival of the General Brown at
Charleston. The boat arrived several days
in anticipation of the mail; but the operations
were not as extensive as were expected, in
consequence of the high rate at which Cot
ton was held at New-Orleana.
The Savannah has been absent twenty
nine days—and has beenunder weigh alto
gether twenty-four of that time. During
this period she has sailed four thousand
miles—and was three days and a h df lying
too in the Gulph of Mexico in the gale of the
5d instant. It was very severe, and no doubt
caused much damage. (
She sailed from this port on the 12th of
May last, for Charleston, where she remain
ed one day, and has since been to the Bo ,
lize, where she remained one day, from
thence to Mobile, where she remained two
days, back to Charleston, remained one day, ,
and arrived here yesterday,

We extract the following important arti
cle from the New-York Evening Post, of
the 28th ult. “We have been informed by
a gentleman of respectability, and on whose
statement we can rely, that a treaty has
been concluded between the French and
Spanish Governments, by which the Islands
of Cuba and Porto Rico are to be occupied
like Cadiz, with the troops of the former
|nation. Os 16,000 French soldiers'now in
the West Indies, 8000 are to he drafted for
Cuba, and 4000 fur Porto Rico ; and the
garrisons now occupying these places are to
be disbanded and sent to Spain, or to some
other station. A Frenchman has been ap
pointed to succeed General Vives in the
(government of Cuba, which, with Porto Rico,
is to be held by the French, until the alarm
(arising from revolutionary principles, and
from the fear of invasion, has completely
subsided. Whethe r Great-Britain will per-;
mitthis arrangement to be carried into ef
fect, remains to be seen. She has from
17,000 to 18,000 troops in her West-lndia
Islands ; and a powerful naval force, equal
at least to that of France and Spain. It is
scarcely possible that so great a European;
force can continue long on this station,]
without coming in contact with each other
and if the views of the different cabinets are
not in union, we may expect soon to hear of
some decided event arising out of the pre
sent uncertain state, of affairs in this quar
ter of the world.”
The Athens Centi = el, remarking on Gov.
Troup’s Message says—“ The message lias,
when speaking of previous decisions of the
Supreme Court, inducing Congress to act,
a reference to the Yazoo question—A fic
titious case, it is well known, was gotten
up before that judicatory, in case of Peck,
&c. and on the decision of the Court, the
in-famous compromise took place. Under
the sanction of that all-absorbing tribunal,
the act passed, by which five millions of
dollars were put, not into the pockets of the
innocent purchaser, but of the speculator,
who had joined in bribing the assembly by
whom the frudulent sale was made—and
who had in most cases been duubly paid for
his speculation -first, he had drawn, under
the act of Georgia, his portion of the sum
paid to the state for his share and secondly,
he had sold a large portion (if not the
whole) of his scrip—afterwards he was a
third time paid by the United States. If
the encroachments of the General Govern
ment, thus induced by the Supreme Court,
be not promptly met and repelled, our lib
erties, as states, will soon be engulphed, and
the advocates of a consolidated and splen
did government, will triumph. In arous
ing the south then, to a sense of its danger,
; let the plain unvarnished truth be told.
Let no gilded pills be used, but let the
medicine in its genuine and un ad uttered
state be administered.”

The loss of proper!/ sustained by the re

ot, in giving an account of the calamity, i
makes the following honorable mention of i
the assistance rendered by the ladies :
“ la this place, and on this occasion, it ■
becomes us to notice the exertions of the la
dies, who not only assisted in removing fur
niture from endangered houses, but were
frequently engaged in the most arduous du
ty of conveying water to the engines; and
some of them were seen on the margin of the
river passing the buckets, and bv their heroic
deportment, cheering and encouraging the
sterner sex, who, from intense ai d constant
labor, had become almost exhausted. Their
conduct during the whole scene, was such as
we may always expect from the fair, who are
the last to desert us in the hour of peril and
danger ; and in whatever situation in life we
arc placed, by their ardent attachment and
unvarying kindness, prove themselves to be
the *■ first best gift of Heaven.”
From the best information we can gather
(says the Georgetown Gazette) fiom over
seers, and other gentlemen who frequent
(the country, it appears that the late gale
did considerable damage to corn and cotton.
One held of 70 acres of corn, we understand,
was completely destroyed. We have not
heard of any damage being done to rice.

PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE.
The following particulars in relation to
the escape ot Mrs. Eberman,when the Sea
horse was suddenly upset in a squall, in
the Delaware Bay, we have from the most
authentic source, and can, therefore, vouch
| for their accuracy. When the vessel was
iupset, Mrs. Eberman, far advanced in a
slate of pregnancy, was lying, sea-sick on
i her bed. In an instant she was cast out of
her birth into the cabin, into which the sea
’ was pouring in torrents, through the win
. (lows and sky light. In a moment she was,
from she knew nut what cause, pitched from
p ( her birth, and, amidst midnight darkness,
, found herself floundering in the water, and
( assailed on all sides by the drifting furni
r tuie. She heard no sounds but those caus-
I ed by the rushing and dashing of the wa
ters—she laid hold of the side of a birth
. into which, buoyed as she was by the wa
iter, she scrambled. It was afterwards as
, certained that this was the Captain’s birth,
, and fortunately it was a few inches higher
L than any other in the ship,
f I n this birth Mrs. Eberman sat with her
. head against the deck, and up to her neck
,«n water. All was silent and dark ; her
. sensations were most painful and confused ;
I she supposed ,he vessel had sunk to the
bottom of the bays. In this horrible situa
tion, hurried ahve, she grasped ~p orange,
which was floating in the cabin; she ate it
’ and it greatly refreshed her. She now
; beard a noise over head, and, with a cane
I which she had caught in the water, she
struck perpendicular over her, against the
under side of the deck. She was answer
j ed by voices ; hope revived ; she breathed
. inore freely, ami her mind became more
, alive to her actual situation. She heard
i the sound of the axe ; it promised her de-
I liverance, but it created the most agonizing
. apprehensions. Hei head was touching, was
pressed against the under side of the deck,
and there it must remain or be submerged
i '•! the water ; every stroke of the axe,
. more certainly assured her that it fell di
. rectly over her head ;—these were among
her most agonized moments.
At length a chip, about the length of the
axe, was taken out from the lower side of
the deck, and the light of Heaven again
shed its blessed influence on the suffering
mortal beneath. With the eagerness ap
pertaining to so perilous a situation, Mrs.
Eberman pushed her hand, as far as it
would go, through the aperture. Her hus
band, with all an husband’s anxiousness
and love, was on the outside of the vessel;
who can tell his feelings when the appear
ance of her hand, assured him she was yet
sensibly alive—but his heart had scarcely
time to beat with joy, before it was collap
sed with horror. The axe of the workman
jwas uplifted and about to descend with its
(sharpest edge upon the hand of his wife—it
would se.er it from her body —it was hap
pily arrested before it gave the fatal blow.
Let us be brief—a saw was procured, a hole
sufficiently large was made, and Mrs.
Eberman was once again folded in the aims
ot her husband, and restored to the world.

From a Western Paper,
A slander case was tried at the District
Court of Otlachila, on the 19th of April—
Dr. Haulm, member of the Legislature,
versus General Hughes. The broadest range
ot defence was allowed the defendant, and
j many witnesses were examined. The tual
lasted 12 hours, and a verdict was given of
, §11)000 for the plaintiff.
Soon alter the judgement of Court for
811.000 was recorded, Dr. Hardin, the
I plaintiff, came into Court and voluntarily
recorded satisfaction for the amount, with
out having received any part thereof—ob
serving that lie did not sue because he
wanted Gen. Hughes’ money, but to pro
tect an injured reputation ; that object liav
i,.g been obtained by the verdict of Hie Jury,
be would receive uune of the money.
lathe Superior Court of IHchmond County,
May Tkum, 1825.
The Grand Jury on a review of the in
terests and concerns of the county coining
under their investigation, offer the following
presentments, on subjects which have claim
ed their attention during the present session.
The Jury agree in opinion with the Court,
that some change in the judiciary system
which will produce uniformity of decisions
in the courts ot the different circuits of the
state is necessary.
We present as a grievance the numerous
cases of petty crimes, with which the Supe
rior Court is burdened to the delay and ex
clusion of cases of great importance pending
in that court, and the ekpense to the county
of keeping in confinement for trial the of
fenders for so long a period as intervenes
between the sittings of that court. An ad
ditional objection, and one in the view of
the Grand Jury, of no small importance to
the present jurisdiction of the superior court
of these cases is the unhappy etfect in a mo
ral point of view, arising from the delay of
trial and punishment utter the commission
of crime—a prompt and speedy application
of the law in all criminal cases it is believed,
i lias a strung influence in preventing a repe
. tition of offences. As a remedy of tuis evil
, it is recommended to the consideration of the
Legislature, so far as regards the county of
Richmond, to give to the Mayor’s Court of
the City of Augusta, or some*other tribunal
■ to be constituted lor that purpose, jurisdic
tion of all crimes, the punishment of which
' by the penal code, does not extend beyond
tine and imprisonment in the county jail.—
And it is further recommended to the at
tention of the Legislature, the establishment
of a Work House within the limits of the
i city of Augusta, for the punishment of offen
ders in such cases,
i We present the remissness of officers in
; detecting and prosecuting oftenders under
i the Gambling act.
i It lias been represented to the Grand Jury,
i that several adjoining counties have recently
i improved old roads leading into this county
and towards this city, with a view to in
. creasing facilities of intercourse with us.—
lit aid of so desirable an object, we recom
mend to the justices of the Inferior Court to
appropriate a fair proportion of the surplus
funds of the County to the improvement of
roads in this county meeting such roads in
other counties—and another fair proportion
of said surplus to the improvement of roads
within three miles of the city of Augusta.
We present as a grievance of no ordinary
magnitude the rate of tax assessed upon real
Estate in the cities as excessive, when con
trasted with that which is paid upon lands in
the country —having searched in vain for
an argument to disprove its palpable injus
tice, we deem it only necessary to direct the
attention of the Legislature to the subject.
The Grand Jury avail themselves of this
opportunity to express their pleasure on a
gain meeting his honor Judge Rkid, on the
bench, and to bear testimony to his assidu
ous and faithful discharge of duty during
the present session of the Court. And ihey
respectfully request his honor to furnish a
copy of his charge tube published with these
presentments in the Gazettes of this city.
