Col. Quarles, of Mobile, was the purchaser of the first three named, and Mi. John Fordney, of this city, was the purcha ser of the last named. ^he above free negroes, constituting the crew of the brig Billow of Boston, lying in this port were severalty indicted by the rand Jury of this county for concealing a runaway negro, slave named Frank, the property ot Geo. H. Deieadernier with in tent ta prevent the return of said runaway slave to his o.wiier. The same four negroes were also indicted for receiving stolen goods taken by said slave Frank, from the store •of Messrs, Sternes <fr Xj nch. The trial was on the oth and 6th inst., able counsel was assigned them ; they were tried on the first indictment, and the Jury brought in a ver dict of guilty against them all. r ihe facts elicited on the trials were the following. M hile the slave Frank was standing on the wharf, the free negroes accused, induc ed him to go after whiskey for them; they enticed him on board to eat with them, and to remain several times over night with them, they told him they could take him to Boston, where they had an abolition friend who would protect him and pass him on to Canada, where he would he free and sale ; they told him he must pay his pass age to them, and also he must have gen teel clothes on his arrival in Boston 1 other wise he would be taken up as a runaway slave; they assured him there was no dan ger, as they had already taken some slaves from Louisana to Boston, where they had feeea protected and made free by their ab olition friend; they persuaded him it would be right for him to steal such clothes and things as he might need, as he had never been paid for his labor. Acting on their advice, the slave wentto the store of Messrs Sternes & Lynch, and, secreting himself ■behind some bales of merchandise, re mained there all night, when he took a quantity of goods and let hixnself out by the back door—the goods were carried on board the Billow, where they were hid by the free negroes, and the slave himself was also concealed by them in the run of the vessel, and there remained for several days, the vessel being unable to put to sea in con sequence of bad weather. After the vessel left the port, and while lying near the point of the island, the apprehensions of the free negroes were excited by seeing the ap proach of the pilot boat, whereupon the • slave was taken from his place of conceal ment, put on board a yawl, made to lie * close on the bottom to avoid being seen** and the attempt was made to land him ; they were overhauled by the pilot boat, taken on board and the plot discovered; on search being made, the stolen goods were found on the Billow, in possesion of the four negroes. Many of the above facts rest on the testi mony of the slave Frank, iu regard to whom a nolle prosequi was entered, to enable him to be a witness :—His testimony was sus tained by so many circumstances and so much colateral evidence that not a shadow of doubt has existed in regard to the guilt of the accused. Their crime was marked with a singular degree of forethought and preparation—a deliberateness of purpose running through several days of continuous acts; their crime was complete, for the ves sel had left the port and was lying off the point of the Island—there can be no mis take the accused were taken in the manner described. After a deliberate and impartial trial, in which the accused were defended by able and experienced counsel, a verdict of guilty was found against them all.' They were called up for sentence on Fri day morning, the 9th inst, which was pro nounced by Judge Buckley in conformity with the law of the land. It was that a fine equal in amount to the value of the slave Frank be imposed on the accused sev erally, and on their failure to pay the same within five days, that they be sold at the Court House after ten days notice, to the highest bidder, as slaves for life. As the .convicted parties declared their inability to pay the fine, the second part of the sen tence, adjuding them to be sold as slaves for life, was carried into execution on Tues day last.

The session, we suppose, will con tinue until some time next week. We notice our new Attorney General J. T. Shewmake, Esq., in his seat. Mr. S. is an intelligent gentleman and a good lawyer, and will sustain himself well as State’s Attorney. 05" We are requested to say that Dr. J. R, Smith will deliver a Temperance Lec ture at Bay Spring Church, on Sunday next; that on the 4th Sabbath m April Col. Hook, will also address the people at same place on the same subject, and that they will both, by appointment, deliver Temperances addresses at the Ohoopie church, on the first Sabbath in May next. Lottery.—In another column will be seen the advertisement for the drawing of the Washington county Academy Lottery, to take place in Columbus, on Friday and Saturday next. Philq.—Our readers in this county are refered to the communication of Philo in reference to our’Sehools, &c. We will say to the writer that itlias frequently been a pleasure to us to speak of the Schools of this place, and we are happy to say that we have never had to draw on our imagina tion for any thing that we have ever said of them, while in their infancy they de served this at our hands, but now, they arc, like the old lady’s butter, old e- nough to speak for themselves, and ou r ad vertising columns are always open to the advancement of any laudable interest. Shooting Case.—We learn that a fra cas occurred at Hebron, in this county, on Saturday evening, between Col. W. W. Buck, and John Smith, alias Constantine Caravello, in which Col. Buck was shot in the neck with a small pocket pistol. We are glad to learn that the wound is not con sidered dangerous. Caravello sloped as soon as he committed the act, and has not been heard of since. The Uniqn Convention.—The 2?d day of next month has been designated by the Central Committee o,f the Union party of this State, as the day for the assembling of the Union Convention, to advise upon the propriety of sending delegates to. the Balti more Convention. Some of the counties have held meetings, appointed delegates and expressed their disapprobation of the project; others have given the question the go-by, and relied upon the wisdom of the Convention ; while none, we believe, have openly espoused the movement. We think there is but little doubt but that the Convention will disown the pur pose of the legislative caucus, with or with out the intervening causes that might have been anticipated, and join with Alabama Unionists in holding a Convention at Wash ington City. What effeot this Convention will have on the Baltimore and Philadel phia nominations, remains to be seen. If Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi, are alone in the matter, its influence will scarcely be felt. In this day parties are respectable and influential for their size, ability to help, and not a willingness in morals control the actions of party conventions. Gov. Cobb and Mr Chastain have both been making speeohes lately, and we imag ine from the tone of them, that they are de cidedly Baltimorean in their preferences.— Gov. Cobb, in his Tammany "Hall speech, demanded of the party the reassertion of the platforms of ’44 and ’48, from which we should take it, that the non intervention policy unexplained further than it was then, will suit him ; and Gen. Cass, who stands in loco parentis to the whole conoern, will be in a fit place for the present campaign; and weshall not be surprised if this isthe re sult of the labors of the Baltimore Conven tion. It 4 will give the Compromise a wide berth, and the Southern Rights interpreta tion of the Virginia and Kentucky resolu tions and Jaokson democracy, will be el bowed out of the Hall. Spiritual Roupings Scientifically Ex plained.—A correspondent of the Cincin, natti Commericial, furnishes the following lucid and scientific explanation of the hither to mysterious subject of spiritual Rappings. If any of our readers have been at all puz- led about the matter, they oan now read and understand the nature and cause of this wonderful medium of intercourse : “The only true and legitimate manner of accounting for the taps, is the physiologioal defects of the membraneous system. The obtuseness of the abdominal indicator causes the cartilaginous compressor to coagulate into the diaphragm, and depresses the duo denum into the fiandango. Now if the taps were caused by the vogation of the electricity from the extremities, the tympa num would also dissolve into spiritual sinc- tum, and the olfactory ossificator would fer ment and become indentical with pigmen- tura. Now this is not the case ; in order to produce the taps, the spiritual rotundum must be elevated down to the spiritual spero. But, as I said before, the inferior ligaments must not substend over the digitorum suf ficiently to disorganize the stericletum.” Yankee Statute of Ethan Allen.—A y@uo^ artist by the name of Kinney, has just completed a “historic statue of of Ethan Alien,” which is now on exhibition at Bur lington, Vermont. It is highly spoken of. The artist says, egotistically enough, in the Sentinel: “This is the first statue ever sculptured OJ Vermont and I believe the largest oueevpr sculptured in America; and I am certaiu there ha* never been a work of art of equal magnitude produced in this or any other country, under more unfavor able circumstances; but I bad r» solved to do justice to the memory of the first hero of the American Revolution, to the full extent .of noy abilities, which determination can be better expressed in the spirit of the words of the groat father of the Green Mountain State, addressed to Congress, demanding its admission into the Union with the other states. He said—-I am so much determin ed upou the Independence of Vermont, that rather than foil, I will retire with my little baud of hardy Green Mountain boys to the desolate cos tiers of Ike mountains, and wage war against h ivtxti nature at large.' 1 Cold Weather.—We had several, days the past week that would compare favorably with much of our winter. On Friday and Sat urday mornings there was ice to be seen, and on Sunday morning a considerable frost. Corn which was up, was damaged somewhat. The fruit, so far as we have observed, has not been killed. Illness of Mr. Toombs.—The Constitu tionalist & Republic of the 17 th inst., says “We regret to learn that Mr. Toorab’s ill ness was so serious on the 6th inst., that it was thought necessary to telegraph for his family physician in this State, Dr. Andrews^ and also for his brother. At the last ac counts he was considered slightly better. £3T Since the above was put type, we are pleased to learn, through the Savannah Republican, that Mr. Toombs’ health was decidedly better on the 14th inst. Daring Robery in Atlanta—The At lanta Republican of Thursday says: “On Tuesday night last, the store of our Townsman, Mr. U. L. Wright, was entered, his safe forced, and twenty thousand dollars stolen. So far as we have been able to learn, Mr. Wright has no knowledge of any cir cumstance fixing suspicion on any one as the perpetrator of this outrage. Let the public be on the alert. It is of great impor tance, not only to Mr. Wright, but to the community generally that the villain be de tected. Death qf Thomas Moore.—The Asia which arrived at New York on the 12th, brought intelligence of the death of the distir guished and elegant poet, Thos. Moore. He died at Slope rton Cottage on the 26th ult. tn the 72d year of his age. For some time previous to his death, he had been in a state bordering on mental imbecility. E3T Some of the Passengers who recent ly left New York for California, have re turned to that city, after proceeding as far as Panama, on account of their inability to obtain passage from that place. They re port that there are at least five thousand persons on the Isthmus, awaiting an oppor tunity to embark for California. Mr, Patton, of Hartford has b<*en lecturing in New York on the “Natural His tory of the Loafer.” He has struck a large class who have been hitherto much in want of some information relative to their origin and ultimate destination. “Grace Greenwood is going abroad in June. It is whispered that she goes with Charlotte Cushman, and is about to become her pupil for the stage. Also that she will wear the .buskin first in England, in some provincial theatre, and then, if thoroughly successful, engage herself in the metropolis es^" Theodore Parker is'lecturingin Bos ton, on the”true and false ideas of a gentle men. • Is he not the Rev.

Willis who sailed for Bermuda some time since, sent a challenge to John Van Buren, to meet him at that place with Pistols for two John refused to go. He is sensible. Democratic Convention.—The Dem ocratic State Convention meets at Milledge ville, on the 3lst inst. ers throughout, all enjoying the confidence of our people and with ample accommoda tions for board, why should not our schools be greatly increased in the number of pu pils ! I hope if, in endavoring to give an answer to this question you find the editor of the Georgian to be somewhat at fault in not calling public attention to this matter as much as he ought, that you will take it upon your perrioual individuality, to score your editorial personification. You may hear from me farther on this sabject anon. Yours, <fec., PHILO. Washington county, March 19, 1852. Clerk’s Office, Supreme Court of Ga. ) Milledgeville, 10th March, 1852. j Gentlemen ;—For the information of the Supreme Court Bar of Georgia, will you be so kind as to publish the 2d and 7th sec tions of an Act of the last session of the Legislature.

The Engineer had his arm broken, and was badly scalded. Two negroes weie aiso injured. Three men, citizens of Marion county, have been arrest ed and charged with the offence. The proof was sufficient to commit them for trial. Georgia Bonds.—The New York Jour nal of Commerce says: “The Legislature of Georgia, at its last session, appropriated $725,000 to the re-construction and equip mentof the State Railway, extending from Atlanta, the terminous of tue Charleston and Savannah roads, to Chattanooga, in Tennessee. Of this amount, Gov. Cobb sold $200,000 in bonds, payable in Geor gia, redeemable in ten years, ai the option of the State, before he left home, at a pre mium of two per cent. He is now at the Irving House, in this city, and was on the point yesterday of concluding a negotiation for the remaining $525,000, for which bonds, drawing six per cent, interest, having twenty years to run, are to be made paya ble i n New York. The whole debt of Geor gia, including this loan, is only $3,100,000 Death of Col. Swain.—The Albany Patriot notices the death of Col. Stephen Swain, formerly of Emanuel, but more re cently of Decatur county. He had attained his eightieth year, twenty-six of which he was a member of our State Legislature.— He was widely kuown, and an eccentric man, about whom many queer anecdotes has been told. Snow Storm.—The Savannah Republi can of Saturday says : “Our city was visit ed yesterday morning by a regular snow storm, the third this season. Fortunately the snow melted as fast as it fell, in conse quence of the previous rain, or vegetation would have suffered great injury.” Franklin College.—We have received a catalogue of the officers and students of this Institution, for 1851-52, and are pleas ed to learn from it that it is still in a flour ishing and prosperous condition. There are 175 students in the several classes ; 151 in actual attendance. The ei^enses of the year, exclusive of tuition, Js.put down at 159 to 185 dollars. Death of -an Editor.—Col. "VV. S. King of the Charleston Courier died in that city on Friday, afternoon. The Moultrie House and furciture, on Sullivan’s Island, was sold in Charleston on the 16th inst. at auction, for $13,7(JO to W.

[communicated.] Mr. Editor:—It must be a subject of gratulation to every citizen of Washington county, to notice the improvement which has been recently going on in our little vil lage, in the way of Schools, and other en terprises calculated for the better advance ment and education of the youth of the couuty. Within the last few years, there have been erected iu Saudersyille two large and commodious school-houses—a male and Female Academy. Excellent teachers now have charge of each, and both are in a flourishing condition. This fact has in vited men of capital and enterprising char acter, to our midst, who have put up fine and extensive buildings, and who are will ing, I am informed, as a matter of accom modation, to board the children of all those who, living at a distance from the village, cannot otherwise have the advantage of the schools. I am pleased to learn that other buildings, of commodious dimensions, are in contemplation, their proprietors having in view the same generous and praiseworthy object. It is to be hoped that the citizen* of the county will feel sufficient county-prid<, to sustain an effort so generously made, to aid in furthering the intellectual, moral and so cial advancement of the young people of our commun'ty. It is needless to say anything of the mer its of the teachers. Their qualifications are generally known. The Female Academy has, in the persons of Mr. Slack, principal, and Misses Raymond and Edson, assistant teachers, highly qualified for their various departments. And the Male Academy has in the person of Mr, Rudisill, an urbane gentleman and ripe scholar, whose long ex perience as a teacher, Tenders him every way qualified for his station.

The new Ministry cautious express ion of opinion on the subject. Snow Storm at the North.—A tre. mendous snow and rain sto^m is raging in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore. The remains ofa human body found on Turtle Island, by one of the officers of the U. S. Surveying schooner Gallatin, on the 5th inst. were identified as those of Mr. Robert H. Angel, of this place, who left Savannah on the. 11th of February, 1849, on board of the steamer Matamora, Capt. Barden—Mr. Angel being the* Chief Mate of that boat. The watch found with his remains proved this to be so beyond a doubt RaSmn Gap Railroad. Our readers are aware that the Charles, tonians have threatened to build a road through the Rabun Gap, in the North-Eaa- tern corner of this State, and thus connect their city by a continuous line of Railway with the Tennessee improvements. Their professed object is to avoid the obstruction of the bridge at Augusta. By holding the Rabun Gap project tn terrorem over the people of Auguste, they flatter themselves that they will be able to frighten them into a compliance with their wishes to connect the Hamburg and Georgia Railroads. Having failed thus far to effect a connec tion at Augusta, the Charlestonians have turned their attention to the Rabun Gap route, as much from a feeling of spite to wards A ugusta as from a desire to p- ,rfect their Railway connections with the West. We observe that a few of the papers in this State have kindly assumed the task of warning Augusta against the folly of her course. They tell her to beware of the ven geance of Charleston. Now, we under take to say, that the contemplated Railroad through the Rabnn Gap will never be built —and for two reasons. First: No Rail road, so far as our knowledge extends, was. ever projected and carried through from a feeling of vegeance or disappointment. It was but two yean ago that all Georgia and •South Carolina, “and the rest of mankind” assembled at Macon, in this State, to pro vide for the construction of a road from that point, via Silver Bluff, to Charleston ; but as the movement had its origin in a temporary feeling of vexation and opposi tioa it turned out as great a failure as a certain other Convention which met at Ma con about a year later. It requires some thing more substantial and current than local ill feeling to sustain great public en terprise. Money and labor, and not rage and prejudice are the means, and the only means, witli which to coastiuct and equip Railroads. Our second reason for believing the road will not be built is, that it would ruin the Charleston aud Hamburg road, or eo seri ously injure it as to. ren er the further w orking of it a losing business. The bulk of the stock in that load is,held in Charles ton, and it is not too much to> say, the holders of it will to a man oppose the new project, the moment they understand the effect it will inevitably have upoan their present road. Can the Rabun Road be carii d through without theircp-operation l and, if it can, is it probable that CharLea- will be blind enough to alienate from her the sympathies, ami drive away the busi- uess of Augusta and the interior counties of Georgia, which no# carry thither their producel When the people of Charleston shall have waxed so strong and prosperous as to be able to" dispense with all further connec tions with this State, and shall have dis covered a way by w hich revenge and dis appointment cau be made available substi tutes for money and labor, in the construc tion of Railroads, then their Rabun or North-Western project will be successful. Until these things occur, we must be ex cused for believing that the whole move ment will e-ud iu—smoke.— Sav. Republi can. “Young America” as. "Old Fogies.”— X, the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, says : “The eloquent ami brilliant speech of Mr. Marshall,jof California, iu behalf of his State, and the favorite of that State, Judge- Douglass of Uliuois, though electric in its. effect upon tlie House, has produced a per fect calm—a universal truce among the pol iticians of the House.

Enormous Expense of the Municipal Government of New York City.—On the ubject of the expenses of the city of New York, the Times says: “It would draw very hard on a man’s rep utation for good sense to be overheard say ing that this was one of the best governed cities in the world. Yet it cost something more than three million of dollars last year to govern it. It costs about ten thousand dollars a day, exclusive of Sundays, toad- minister such government as it had. It costs over three times as much to govern this city, as it did to govern the whole State, inclu ding the city, and three times as mjch as it did to govern the six New England States. It cost the city more to get governed for a fortnight than it cost any one out of sixteen States for a year. And it cost New York city half as much to get itself governed tor a year as it cost all our thirty-one States for the same time.” foundation of a git-.-si national party, full of vigor, enterpise, and progress, such as will make a distinct epoch in American history.

Q. Adams, now pub lishing by his son, will make twenty or twenty-five volumes. The works of the late Levi Woodbury will soon be issued, in four volumes. Mr. Baucroft’a History of the Revolution, in three volumes, will be furnished at an early day. Hon. Thos. H. Benton is engaged in writing the memoirs of his life and times, in several volumes. Hon. Edward Everett will shortly publish a work on international law, and two volum es of memoirs. John C. Hamilton, Esq., has lately completed an edition of nine vol umes of the works, of Alexander Hamilton, and two volumes of his fife. Sheridan scholar, wit, and spendthrift, being dunned by a tailor to pay at least the interest on his bill, answered, that it was not his interest to pay the principal, nor his principle to pay the interest. The Public Lands and Colonization.— Mr. Stanly, Member of Congress from North Carolina, is preparing a bill, as the public journals state, to restore to the States the fourth and last instalment due to them from the General Government by virtue of the distribution act of Congress in 1836. The last instalment, it will be - remembered, was retained in the Treasury to meet the urgent and immediate wants of the Government. Mr. Stanly’s bilf proposes that certificates of United States five per eent stock to the amount of this fourt instalment—-some nine million of dollars.—shall be issned to the several States, as they shall be respectively entitled, upon the express condition that each State shall appropriate the interest thereof, amounting in the aggregate to over four hundred and fifty thousand dollars an nually , to the transportation of free negroes within the State to Liberia, or to the edu cation and improvement of the Liberian col onists. . The principal is never to be touch ed without further Congressional legislation, and the certificates are not to be issued to any State until the legislative authorities thereof consent to receive the same, upon the conditions above specified. If there should be, in any State, no free negroes for transportation to Liberia, then the interest money is to be appropriated in establishing schools and colleges, and in improving the moral, social and religions condition of the citizens of the Liberian Republic.*—-Balti more American.
