Major ffordynslri—The Polish officer,
who arrived al Boston n few days "C”.
published the following address in the Boston
Transcript:
To the People of the United States.—The
deep admiration and affection, which every
!»ol« has always for your great nation, makes
it my duty to publish my reasons for comirjg
to this country. A Polo neither hns, nor cnn
have, any thing secret to withhold in a laud of
freedom.
Living in Warsaw at the commencement of
the revolution ns an officer in the Engineer
Corps, I was, from the first moment, on the
spot where my duty called me. On the for
mation of new regiments, I was placed os a
Captain in the Podlasin Krakuay (light caval
ry,) from which regiment I wa» selected aa an
Adjutant to the General Zatnskl of the lid di-
viMon. After the battle of Oatrolenka, Gene
ral Geilgod nil ordered to march into Lithua
nia, to assist the revolutionists there. Willi
him were sent two squadrons of the Lancers
„f Posen, to one of which I was then attached.
A short time after this 1 received the com
mand of a squadron of Lithuanian Lancers,
and in Kurszany was advanced to my present
rank of Major. AVith this regiment I made
that unfortunate Lithuanian Campaign,*the
nnd of which ia so well known to the Ameri
can public. Surrounded anil pressed on nil
sides by un enomy vastly superior in numbers
-—without ammunition—tho cavalry, nearly
destroyed, and thinking to find protection in
Prussia, and liberty to rclu.n onco moro to
Poland, the army croased the Pr issinn fron
tiers on the 15th July, in two divisions. In
consequence of tho Cholera, we wero obliged
in hold a quarantine of 21 days, in a very un
pleasant situation near Tilsit. At the expira
tion of that timo ohserving that no change was
made, or apparently contemplated, in our
treatment or situation, several of my comrades
as well os myarlf, concluded to make our os
capo ifriossible, and return to our country.
Freni (lie cnrnp at Packemooen, (near Til
sit,) I escaped on the night of the !9'!i Aug.
disguised as n peasant, but was ru-tnken on
. the frontiers two days after, and carried under
escort to Tilsit, and from thence sent to the
prison in Bagnitz, where 1 remained 11 days.
I was nncrwhrds sent to the Fortress of Pi!-
Iitu, from which placo 1 escaped in the vessel
which brought me here. In this manner have
l escaped tho fate which awaited mo, nnd have
happily arrived on the shores of there United
States, where I am fortunate enough to
broathe the open air in that nation, which eve
ry Pole so much esteems and admires. It is
not however, the wish of any Polu to lead un
useless or an idle life.
1 hove come to this country, not to live at
my caso while my country sutfurs, hut to find,
if possible, an opportunity of returning thither,
should she again cull upon me. Should (h«
Almighty ordtr it otherwise, then my only
Wish is to servo this, or some other land in the
-atuso of Freedom.

lrJ»Tlie fifteenth ruction of the I .and Bill psssrit by
the Legislature list year, which prohibited those who
dug gold in the Cherokee Nation from a draw in Ihe
intended Land Lottery, lias been repealed. This is
right, andThc manifestation of a returning senseofjm-
lice which it etiners, deserves commendation.
sufferings of a sister community, w ere passed by almost
unheeded. There wts not even a public meeting held,
or scarcely contemplated, f«r the purpose of imparting
relief. So it is with the world—our sympathies are
rniard at imaginary sufferings, and our hands often in
oorpocketf to pramof eohjeatsnf mistaken benevolence;
but when real distress appears, we are too tardy in our
effort* lo remove it.
Annexe! to the circular of llie Committee, was the
following statement of the amount of contributions re>
ceived, and ll,iM;usrtcri from which they were sent :
The Former.—Happiness teems to have
fixed her seat in rural scenes. The spacious
hall, the lighted assembly, tho splendid equi
page, nnd the pump of courts, do not soothe
and entertain the mind of man in any degree,
like tho vnrdnnt plain, tho ennmclled tnond,
the fragrant grove, the melodious birds, the
ep..rtivo beasts, the azure sky, uml the starry
■Heavens.
Jt is undoubtedly tl fact, that in proportion
lo our population, loo many leuvo Ihe occu
pation of the Agriculturist, fur other employ
ments. If this arise from its being consider-
eiklhat Ihe employment of the husbandman is
not respectable, it is a very great mistake.
Kvery thing is honorable, which is useful anil
virtuous. This is an employment instituted
by God himself, nnd by him peculiarly owned
and blest. It ia that on wLi.lt nvory thing
depends. True, it is laborious ; hut, then, la
bour brings health, anti health is the fountain
of enjoyment und happiness. The condition
of the farmer is the condition of independence.
His little dominion is his own, ids comforts
are his own, and lie is nut at the merry of the
public whim or caprice. It is not noeessnrily
the rase, in this happy country especially, that
the farmer must lie a stupid, ignorant man.-—
He is taught in Ids youth tho fust rudiments
«I education, und ho has many spare hours lo
read. In the heat ol summer's noon, nnd by
die long winter’s evoniug fire, he has much
time for his newspapers and his hooks, uml in
title country they ere placed witldn Ihe reach
of all.
Itrnnj Clay.—At the recent election for Senator to
Congress from Kentucky, Henry Clay waa the suc
cessful candidate, having received nine voles moro than
his opponent, Crd. Itichard M. Johnson.
Tiaehtrt' Convention.—The subject of a Convention
of thedifierent schonl Teachers in the Stato of Georgia,
for the purpose of promoting the advancement of edu
cation by establishing so efficient ond uniform system
am] about wblcltmuch has been written during tho past
season, appeals lo he on tha evo of accomplishment.
We perceive an advertisement in several newspapers,
signed hy Messrs, tlenian, Shirtr, Smith, and Rrown,
gentlemen of well known and respectable standing in
ticir profession, which invites a meeting of Teaehers,
both male and ruinate, lo convent.at the Court-house
in Milleilgrvillc ,nn Mondaythe 1 fitly icst. \Vt have tiers
tutors expressed our firvorslde opinion ofthis object,and
would now recennmend to all interested in this section
of the Slate, and who can conveniently leave their re
spective residences, lo lie prompt and general in their
attendance,

.7 Good fate.— On a flag roomily painted fur the
Gcrgin Guarila in tins place, it was observed hy soma
person inspecting it, that hut twenty-three Stars ap
peared. He inquired of a bystander the reason fur the
mniiaion, and wtllulrl, that as il waa probable .South
Carolina would nullify ihe Lnirm, so f,ir nt least as lo
withdraw UerrelFCrnm it, which would then leavo but
ty-threo States, the painter tied determined tu
omit one of the stars to save future alterations.
Smalm -tcadimicus.—'The annual meeting of lids
body commenced its session nn tho 14tk Nov. at Mil-
ledgeville, and closed live following day—Gov. Lump
kin presiding. The expenditures of Franklin College
during the past year, aa reported by Mr. Speaker Hull,
Secretory of Ihe Board ofTrustees, were $2-1,172; leav
ing a balance on hand of $1,91.1. That section of the
University act of the lant Legislature was taken into
consideration, which dee lores that one poor young man
from each county ahall be educated at tho expense of
the College, without appropriating luffirient funds fur
that purpose, and referred to a coinmillee office, who
made a report which was adopted in substance as fol
lows :
11 That one or two indigent bnva be nominated bv
Ihe Justices ofcach district lo tlra'lnfcrior Court, from
which list it is proposed that they select hy lot nr oth-
ciwisc, one who is lo be prepared at Ihe grammar
school, tint subsequently entered al the Ihnvenily,
where his education is to bo completed. Ilis board,
clothing and tuition lo ho at the public expense.
AH vacancies in the scholarship from cacti county,
to tic nupplierl in tho same manner. So Hint them
rliall always he one beneficiary in the University* from
each county .**
To carry the abort- ohjrct into effect, il waa rrcnnv
inendcrllhat the aunt of $19,001) tie annually appropria
ted. A resolution was also offered and adopted, that

ihe President nfiho Senate, and Speaker of the House
if Representatives, u hese duty il shall be to attend the
examinations previous lo Commencement, and report
at tho following meeting of the Senatus Academicua.
We also understand that tho practice of diitribming
honors at Cominenremriila, was abolished; and that
inalead ofiho annual teleetinn of public speakers an
that occasion, they are to be appointed by lot. This
plan, ilia thought, wilt excite more general emulation
throughout Ihe respective classes, than lire former me
thod, when none but the brat scholars could hope for
l.'-ia distinction.

T/ie (it'fit Mints—Considering the richness and ox
tent of the mineral region of Georgia, it is matter of
some surprise that nogren'ter interest in manifested by
Speculators nnd men of capital, in the erection of suita
ble machinery for the purpose of carrying on mining
operations successfully, ond also to extend the facili
ties for trade and intercourse between that wealthy,
yet isolated region, and tho more commercial part of
on/ state. This negligence ami apathy among men of
business and enterprise, is we are convinced, the con
sequence of a want of information as to the real value
of the mines, and the surety that they will return a
handsome profit for the labor and capital invested in
working them. We arc pleased to perceive, however,
that some attention is beginning to bo drawn towards
this interesting part of tho country, and that there are
a few who are disposed to ascertain what it is capable
of producing, by taking the proper steps towardaita full
discovery. When a bank shall have been established
ita neighborhood, which will purchase tho gold, and
thus afford a ready cash exchange for the expense in
procuring it, besides the advantages of loans to thoic
individuals who could not otherwise raise sufficient
funds, mining operations will acquire a system and ex
tent which have hitherto unfortunately been unprece
dented. To thia object wo would beg leave to call the
attention of the people and tho Legislature.
An article appeared in a late Augusta Courior, of
which an extract is given bclaw, giving some informa
tion in relation to the New Potosi, formerly called Shu-
bert mine, in llall county, which i* represented as one
of Jlicrichcst yet discoveied. That paper states tho
tract to contain several vein#, 44 in one of which, rock
filled with gold hns been found in pltces from the sur
face to the water level.” The veins are said to consist
of quartz, of a crystaliue color, invested w-itli oxide of
iron, and containing numerous spots of Kaolin or de
composed Ffcilspar. One bushel of this rock has yield
ed COO dwtp. of fluxed gold. Although no regular gys-

Henry Baldwin, Esq. one of the Justices or
the Supreme Court of the United Slatee, and
to lm citations to the State of Georgia, to ap
pear in the Supreme Court, on the second
Mondny in January next, to show cause before
that tribunal,why two several judgments should
not be act aside, which have been lately ren
dered in the Superior Court of the county of
Gwinnett, against Samuel A. Worcester and
Elizur Butler, fora violation of an existing law
of the Slate, committed within its jurisdictional
limits. Alsoja copy of a notice purporting lobe
signed by William W;rt and John Serpen nt, as
counsel for Samuel A. Worcester and Elizur
Butler, informing mo of an intended applica
tion to (ho Supreme Court, fur a hearing on
writs of error filed by those persons.
Tho obvious object of the proceedings to
which this notice and theso citations relate, is
to call in question, and attempt to overthrow,
that essential jurisdiction of the State, in crim
inal cases, which has been vested by our con
stitution, in tho Superior Courts of tho several
counties of the State.
My respect for the Supremo Court of the
United States, as a fundamental department of
tho Federal Government, induces mo to in
dulge the earnest hope, that no mandate will
ever proceed from that court, attempting ot
intending to control one of Ihe sovereign Stales
of this Union, in the froe exercise of its con
stitutional, criminal or civil jurisdiction. “The
powers not delegated by tho Constitution to
the United States, nor prohibited by it to the
States, are reserved to the Slates respective
ly.” Such a control over our criminal juris
diction, as these proceedings indicato, it is
believed, has not been delegated to tho United
States, and consequently cannot be acquiesced
in or submitted to.
Any attempt to infrtngo the evident right of
a Stale lo govern the entire population within
its territorial limits, mid to punish nil offences
committed against its laws, within those limits,
(due regard being had to llio cases expressly
excepted by the Constitution of the United
Slate*,) would bo the usurpation of a power
never granted by the States. Such an attempt,
whenever made, will challenge the most dn
termined resistance ; and if persevered in, will
inevitably eventuate in tho annihilation of our
beloved Union.
In exorcising the duties of that department
of government, which devolve on me, l will
disregard all unconstitutional requisitions, of
whatever character or origin they may lie; und
to tho best of my nbilitics, will protect and
defend the rights of tho State, and use the
means afforded me, to maintain its laws and
Constitution.

To the Senate and House of Representatives:
I submit to the General Assembly, for its
consideration, copies of two communications
received yetterday, purport m3 to be signed fiv
usurpation of a power never granted by the
States. Such un attempt, whenever made, will
challenge Ihe most determined resistance ; and
if persevered in, will inevitably cventunlo in
tho annihilation of our boloved Union.” Upon
ibis subject, the above extract embrace* the
policy of tho Governor. It is said tliut Judge
Schley should be elected to Congress, in order
Ihut Mr. Lompkm’a policy should be fimhfully
represented at YVnshington—Judge Schley,
upon this subject, ia nt direct vnrianeo with
Mr. Lumpkin—for in the Tnssols case, not so
strong a one us tbrs by any means, he voted
against all the resolutions disapproving the
course of the Supreme Court.
Can Judgo Schley, therefore, represent the
policy of Mr. Lumpkin at Washington? He
cannot. Anil will the people of Georgia elect
a man to the Congress of the United Slates,
whose vole* upon the Journnl of tho House of
Reprcseiiiatives, prove him to hold the ruinous
doctrine, that the Supreme Court may interfere
and reverse the decision of our own Courts’”
From tha Macon Advertiser.
Governor Lumpkin, in communicating the
citation to the Legislature, has, we arc truly
^lad to any, confirmed the course pursued in
the aae of Tassels, by bis ablo nnd patriotic
predecessor. He has mot the judicial mum
mery of Judge Baldwin, in a manner becom
ing il.e character und interest* of Georgia.—
In doing *0, however, he places between him
self, his party, nnd Judge Schley, an impassa-
blo barrier—for it will be recollected that tho
latter gentleman was willing to prostrate us at
the footstool of the Supreme court, by clamor
ously advocating for it a supremacy which even
that high-toned and arbitrary tribunal dared
uol, even itself, contend for. And for (hit
shall we send Judge Schley tn Congress ?—
