TALLAHASSEE, April G.
Oa Wednesday evening last, tlw dwelling of

Bailey's Mill* in Jefferson county, was attacked hy
a party ofl Oor 15 Indians. At tha first fire, n
Mra-Parrine, residing in the family was killed, n
lad, nephew of Col. Bailey shot in the atm, and a
negro woman dangerously wounded. Captain Scott
and his overseer, Mr. Skipper, bravely defended
the house, drove *JS the Indians, killing two of their
number, and invited the remaindet hack by their
whoops t* renew tha attack. They did not however
return. A few such receptions ns the intruder* met
with at Capt. Scott's, would wa think render them
'somewhat cautious in thirir future attacks.

diant are enabled to elude their vigilance, and fill

vsshsot. "ThewarmustbecarricsMnloAfrica,"our

1 n-k again, why is not udvaiilngi* taken of this

nothing to invest in Bank Slock; many who held

who nre able lo ImltU I sii-jh-ci have enough, nnd
I should tint Ik» dilappidutcd, if wejar the L<*<ri*!n-

rerilicil, for unytliing like dm ninouut oocovsary for
our commerce; for I verily ilonht, whether Bank

Hut for several reasons, I consider Mr. Denring’s
proposition more acceptable than thnt contnincd in

pitnl here ulrendy suhu-rilM'd, nnd what I um pre
pared to *ny, would linve |m*n herein time for next
business Reason.' Their proposition U to.wait till
tlie business snnson hns ulrendy rommenced, to;>e/i-
lion, nnd if such petition i* fiivornldy received, w hit’ll
to my mind is doubtful, there nre n thousand tilings
connected with the Imotion* of Banking which must
Imutteuded to, and which would forbid our liopeiug
for its "relief nt nny rate during tho next business
*enson. Moreover, I firmly believe that n Branch of
this Bunk, line, would have Im-cii intended witli
peculiar advantage* to Savunimh. Those own
ing Stock in this Bank know that il is depen
dent upon conimerro for its profits, nud it would
have been their object nnd certninly their interest,
to liuvo used nil their influence in diverting trade
and travel to this point, nnd this they would have
done for "where their iieatnre is, there will, tln-ir
limi ts be also."

SWANNAII AND THE SOUTH WEST.
This subject, however loan wo may be. d»Hy

oely important in herself, hot of very great impnr»
lance to tlm prosperity, wealth, and influence of Sa*
varnish. Important nnt only for die richness of lier
productions, ond tha Urge amount of supplies which
»o rich a country will require, but in the comparative

rangements, Iht production* nnd supplies nmy be ex*
rhanged ut our *. up »rt ratlier than through the hay
of Apalachicola, und round tli.ulangi.-rou* Cape*
of Floridu.
In point of time nnd certainty the exchange down
the Flint river und round the cape lieing through nn
uncertain navigation nnd most dangerous sea voyage,
uduiits of no r-denialinn under thirty days; while
by wagons (until the Rail lload is built) the journey
the Ocamulgee would occujiy but three days, and
from the Ocnmulgeehy steamboats to Savannah three
lay* more, nnd that without full throughout the win

vided, she will only ussist tlm new tcltlcrt of a ncic
country to cut u mail ut farthest but sixty miles.
This roud from tho nuttire of tho country, being al
most itself a natural mail, can with groat oaso nud
very little expense bo cut. Of tho expense ami time
necessary for completing such a work, Snvunnah
can very well judge from her experience in cutting
tho now Dublin road; tho country through
which both road* pas*, uro pine barren nnd very
similar.
These suggestion* are thrown out to put the ques
tion to Suvunuuh, whether she will allow this rich
trade to pass from her, when she can so easily sc
ore it / At present this pine barren road of sixty
mile* will turn it towunls Savannah: " for it is late
in the season before tho Flint river will admit ofhoa-
ting—tlm navigation of it is dillictiit owing to it*
narrow channel creating u rapid current.” " Goods
bound up this river the present season after tho cir
cuitous, dangerous and expensive voyage round thu
Cape were lundud from steamboats at mount Ver.
non and Buinbridgc, and then wugoned GO tn 100

her enterprising neighbour soon will, and cnusc some

She is now struiuingevery nerve to complete her Rail
lloid to Mucoii, and awaking again to the impor
tance nnd necessity of her projected Canal to tlie
Alntnniahn. Theso should not deter hnt should ex*
cite her to this work. Cut out this road, and it w-il*
draw a trade which will give an impulse to thn ex-
ecution of tlie Canal and induce nnothrr, or a Ruil
Ilond to the Flint river, and another to tho Chatn-
hnochce which with proper financial facilities will
secure to Savannah the whole trade of Georgia.

THE TORY LEAVEN.
This evil principlo is yot nt work; it is over ac
tive, though sometimes apparently quiescent. The
High Church Party of Great Britain—tho Holy
Aliinnco clique of tho countries on the Rhine—the
vassals who support tho throno of tho Czar of Mus
covy—nnd tho modern Whigs nnd Conservatives of
our freo country, arc, in truth, one and the name.
Docs any ono require proof of this bold, hut true
assertion ? Let him look to thu journals of foreign

one above tho rest. To bo virtuous, a mini must bo

us in thu common affairs of life, "honesty is the best. \ ^

Wo nro in duly bniind to announce to nur frimda

Gu , is no longer nn opposition print. Tho editor
lias declared for Mr. Van llnrcn, and thus placed it
entirely out of nur power lo net in concert with him
in the upproacliing Fresidcntinl contest.
Wo respect the ability of the editor, und ostimalo

sides against us, and we haon no nllernutiva bill lr»
1-riK'loim the separation.— Georgia Journal, 1G/A
inti.
We feel "in duty hound" to unto tin* course of tits*
manly nnd independent editor of tho Argut, on
worthy of all praise, and ns a most excellent model
fur the editor uf thu Georgia Journal to maka hie
study.
Tho editor of tho Journal complain* thnt we, "aa
tho mouth-piecn of tho Admini'itrntion jmrty, hold
forth llie olive branch of peace,—and yet, mukonot
the slighost concession of principle, nur aliatidon any
of the objectionable ground which we liuvo hereto
fore occupied."
Wo uuswer, that we-nevor before knew it was ne
cessary to " ahundon principle" to obtain public con
fidence. Indeed, wo considered always, and do so
yot, tlmt an honest man can never “• abandon princi
ple," if hit principle! are wlmt they should !>c. Wo
confess, however, tlmt wo do not think it is wrong
fora mnn to admit that he is in error; and cannot
conceive that it Is a change of principle, fora man
to say he was mistaken in certain viows ho may have
hitherto entertained. Far from it, wo respect such
a mnn,and tlie very act itself would bespeak our confi
dence. As tu ourselves wo nro too woli satisfied
witli our " principles" to "nbundun” them; nml tho
editor of the Journal must bo more cogent in liis rea
soning than ho has yet been, before he can convince
as that wo uro culpable for holding forth tho "Olivo
brunch of pcaco"—nnd nre hold enough, to think
that bleeding Georgin, would soon fed bolter, if all
politicians (lliccdilnr of t|in Journal among the rest)
would “ go und do likewiso." Timo presses,or wo
would say more.
Tho article we extract, for instance, from the Tory . -- .

despotism nml constitutional abuse in
cognize the minority—id etl. thu modern Wliigi
of America, us their brethren in feeling —and what
can the South exfwrt from men who are linked with
those who speak in such u strain.
Hero thu democracy are denounced as "ignorant
rabble," and if the tonbiiqnel l.oco Foco, was ud-
ih-d il would be d-llii-uit to leii ou which side of the
Atlantic, the abuse of the English Tory Siundarl
was penned. It could he written hy no inuh, wh *
wa* not either a Hartford Convention!*!,—u modern
Whig, or u British Tory. Il is cquully worthy of
their fraternity. Tin* modern Whigs claim lo have
“ nil tin* decency uml all tho talent "on their side—
mid th*‘h friemls in England cull.tlie majority, who
an* opposed to tho same Whigs, tin ’* ignorant rub
ble!" Thus they aid each other.
The writer in tin* Standard, is greatly mistaken,'
however, in hi.-* conclusions. His statements con
cerning tlie negroes nre sheer bombast. Had ho
said tli.it tin* Abolitionist* might prove traitors to
their country, In* would he nearer the murk. Their
miserable minority, and tha Whigs, to hoot, would
not dare to raise tln-ir heads in case of a war; uml
wo know dial in tlie South, lit least, if tlie tnesin
wus sounded, all would fly to the tfandnrd of their
country, without dutiurlion of party.
A war would lie a "luck pointy," to tho Tories of
Grout Britain. They flourish and fnllen during
war, famine, ami pestilence. The long continental
war, which drained the coffers of the furniors—
paralyzed trade and commerce, and- prostrated
manufactures—was to tho Tories n period of glory
TIioii they had full sway—nnd a* much patronage
us they required, to satisfy their adherents. The
Army und the Navy wus open for tho scions of the
aristocracy, nnd the people were kept quiet by illu
minations, rejoicings, nnd vain shows, to commemo
rate victories seldom obtained. Tho poor were
ground to the dust, and the rich Imd to give up their
wealth to prosecute the war. Now, tho Tories,
would ho anxious to renew* these times—their gold
en age. Hence, tho bittonioss of tho Tory Stan
dard.
Now let our readers sec the corrollnry attempted
in tho last paragraph, concerning the " Whig and
Kadient plot." It is precisely tho snmo chnrge
which tho Conservatives und Whigs mado ugainst
Gov. Fairfield. They charged the l.ceo Focot,
as they called them, with originating tho war!
In sober earnest, however, wo believo that there
is no more likelihood of a war with England now,
than there wus at nny previous period of tho contro
versy. The present English Ministry are too en
lightened to plunge the people into a wnr, when it
can bo avoided; and our own government will not
ask anything but fuir dealing.
" PARTIES IN GEORGIA."
We notice in tlie last Georgia Journal, an nrticle
nuimndverting on an editorial which appeared a
short time since in this pnper, witli the above
caption. Our nrticlo was written in that spirit of
candor nml sincerity that wo have been guided by
during our whole political career. Wo meant all
that wc said, and nothing more. The editor of the
Journal, is, therefore, unacquainted with tho charac
ter of the Georgian—he hns sat too short a time in
the editorial chair of the Journal,—to know nr lo ap
predate the honest motives by which we have ever
been actuated, or he could never nccuscus of taking
cue" from other journalists, as ho does, in tlie
following extract from his piece.
" We have raid their plant were systematically
arranged, and the facts war runt llie conclusion.
Fir*t, we hear cneof their organs at the teat of
Government, in u very consequential tone, reading
io ilia multitude, a most pompous essay on the old

contrary to all humun expectation, nml no doubt, to
his own nstoni»hmcnt,l>y a violation of every rule
of logic, il is clearly proven to mean nothing more
or less, than, that every body should unite in the
support of Mr. Van Boren! Thecoe is immediate

COL. YOUNG OF NEW YORK.—
/ This distipguislied geutlcmnii, nml true American
qjtizen, is not generally known in the South, to lmvii
been dm individual who took such nil active purt in
tho New York Convention, of 1821, when llie Consti
tution of that State wns amended. He, it was, who
proposed Bie resolution which received I'to support
of Mr. Van Boren, concerning n property qualifica
tion for negro voters. This ronuhitioo wa* the re
sult of compromise. Both Col. Yocno, and Mr.
Van Boren, would have deprived the negroes utter
ly of tlie rigid to vote, if they bail the power—but
Ehis* thcyconld not do, nod the consequence was
restriction of the franchise, which they (the ne
groes) previously enjoyed. It wns very generally
thought hy those who opposed tlie election of Mr.
Van Borf.n, to his present high und towering sta
tion, tlmt negroes were not entitled to vote in Now
York previous to thnt Convention. Nothing is more
untrue. Tho negroes in Now York before 1821,
voted on the principle of general suffrage. Col.
Young’s resolution, supported by Mr. Van Buren,
restricted that suffrage j and hn9 had tlie effect of
thinning tlm negro vote to a more nothing. This is
tho truth, nnd the proceedings of that Convention,
easily obtained, will prove the facts as they are
stated. s
Col. Young is one of the* first men of his day,
and was tbo bosom friend und compatriot of tho
Livingstons, the Van Renset.aers, and the Clin
tons. He is n mnn nf vast information, ns his ro
port to tho Senate of Now York on tho Abolition
Question shows. His geuonil erudition is scarcoly
surpassed by any man in tho Union, and ns a proof
of it, wo may remark that some years ngo, ho deli
vered an address before tho Phi Kappa Society of
Schenectady College, Now York, which was sup
posed by many to have eclipsed the address of Dc
Witt Clinton, before tho same learned body. Wo-
are grateful to that gentleman for his able defence
of Southern Institutions, and for his bold recognir
'tion of the truo doctrine of Stato Iijghts. 1

NEW PUBLIC BUILDING*'
We aro much gratified to find that tho hints wo-
threw out n slmrt time sinca, concerning the necessity
tlmt existed for the erection of a spacious building
for public accommodation, arc about being acted on^
Tho odifico might he ono of great utility. A range
of fine stores could be made in tlie basement which
would rent high. A largo room for hn Excliange,.
for public meetings, for exhibitions, for balls, and for
tho use of our various charitable societies—ns welt
ns smaller ones, for the Snvannah Library, Lyceum*
&c. See. could not fail to prescut to the eye of th*
stranger in our city, a singular combination of use
fulness witli magnificence—of economy with liberali
ty. A City Hall, so much required, would thus, bo
erected at thu public expense.
We are enabled to state that several gentlemen of
•nterprise and industry have given tbo matter much
favourable consideration—nnd a gcntlemnn of much
scientific ability i« now engaged in preparing oiplan
of the contemplated building. This ho docs gratu
itously for the public benefit; and it is not too much
to expect, when such a noblo end sacrificing spirit
is abroad, that we may yet soe an Athcnamm, aPan
thcon, nr whatever other classic appellation it may
receive, rising up majestically, and transmitting to
posterity, in loiters of hewn stone, the names nfita
founders, os great and good public bonefeatocs, who
were well entitled to the civic wreath.
The funds, to carry into effect this laudable ob
ject, will most probably, bo raised by lottery.'
