MELANCHOLY AFFAIR.
An occurrence of a most meUnchuly nature took
p'aceat St. Marya on Friday the 30ih ult., which
we are aorfy to learn, t emit >d in tho death of one of
its most active and enterprising cititsm. The par*
titulars, as we learn them from a gentleman reiid*
lag on the spot, are us follows.
Abiut 5 o’clock, P M. as Capt, Thomas E.
Harder, whohidju-t arrived in town from hi*
plunUtion,« a* leaving the port nthce, he was to*
costed by Mr. Churl** Roslgmd, bvtwren whom
and Capt. H. seme misunderstanding had pro* ion**
ly existed. Mr. R,.on stepping up to Capt. H,
said he wished to speak to him a moment, but on
the latter gentleman refusing to hold any conversa
tion with him, he imm-nliately struck Cupt. H. ui It
a stick which he held in his hand. Capt. II , who
also bnd a stick, returned the blow, hut on prrceiv*
ing hi* antagonist draw a p sto!, immediately retreat
od fur Mr. Dufour’u store, where he was followed
by Mr. II. and fired upon just at ho was in the net
of entering the door—the ball entered just eb .vc
tliu hip ami curne out near tlm middle of the abdo
men. Cupt. Hvntoe was immediately taken to
hi* dwelling, wh* re ha lingered till next illuming,
and th.*n expired.
Wlmi u*lils to render this melancholy affair more
heart-rending, is the fact that the deceased h is left
a wifi* and art interesting family of nine children,
together with on aged mother and nomcr-ms rela
tion*, tn mourn his sudden, and to them irrepara
ble loss. He was abuui 42 years of age.
Our informant also stated that a great degree a!
excitement prevailed at S.. M iry* wh-u he loft in
relation to this sail affiir. The citlti-ns had offered
h ivwmd of $500, and the relations of the dccois- d
$1500, for the app okensiun of Uosigrol. who left
St Mury* sh-.rt-y after the ocrurroiic*. Ths Sher.

FIRE AT ST. JOHNS, N. B.
We are recontly informed of a destructive confla
gration at St. Johns, and are reminded at th« tame
time, that the cititcn* of that place recently did
themselves the ho.ior of contributing One Thou*and
Dullurs to the relief of sufferers by the fire at East*
port, Mfine
This was tho true spirit of the " neighbor,” and
should not pass unnoticed or unreturned by tho citi*
rcu* of the United State*.
It wa* suggested in New York, that tho example of
St. Johns should lie followed by many places in the
Republic, that we should not be outdone in courte*
ous charity by our neighbours.
The interests of Savannah are strongly connected
w ith this enterprising place, now so deeply iqjured;
and though we would not tinge the streams of cha*
rity and kindness* by mom interest infusions, yet
would provoke emulation in such acts as grow out
of intercuur<*o and pleasant communication.
The ships of St. Johns crowd our river—they
transport largo quantities of timber, and are oiler*
ed for freight to Great Britain, to remove our Cot-
ton. Every merchant knuws their value in this de
partment.
It is suggested by us that Savannah furnish some
testimony of sympathy for the sufferers at St. John*
who are numerous—and of every class. The winter
will soon bo felt in that latitude, end we might
diffuse a gentle kindly warmth, cheering as the
beams of our sun would be, when they were bound
in ice.
Thera apjicals have seldom been in vain in Sa-
vantiuh. We cannot mike a splendid offering,
but if it were gilded by a “ neighbors " charity, it
would be rich indeed.
Wo hope to see this Brotherhood of Charity still
more extended, when all assisting, the burden would
bo light—when this telegraph would inform the dis
tant sufferer, that sympathy and aid would surely

I am now nearly don *. " Watch” speaks of a
man who has reason to «uppo*o ho may ” luse hit

totferenee with tho freedom of opinion as much at
he does, and regret that there is too littlo regard ter
that light in these our days. We need not go far
p> show instances of violence—but 1 deny That any
” editor” bss said that adopted ehltent have ever
made such threats. A paper published in Lafay*
ette, La., has mnde a statement similar luthe above,
but the editor distinctly stated that he has ever
been courteously ireateJ by adopted chitons—thus
" Watch” will sue that " tha boot is on tbo other
leg.”
It will bo remembered that I expresied doubts,
at the beginning of this controversy, concerning
•• Watch'*'' place of nativity. I did think it im*
probable that uny Native American, would huve
muiio such slnnderous imputation* against any por
lion of hi* adopted fellow chiton*, a* these which
gracviif tho effusiuns of Mr. ” Watch,''—hut I did
not think it impossible that a renegade might b«-
found topi rfoini what no Native would soil bis fin*
ger* with.—Therefore, I put these questions— |
1. Is *' Watch” a citizen of the U. State* T
2. If so—is he a native-born citizen T
Should he decline answering these questions, I
shall take il for granted that he is neither one or
the other, and shall decline a conflict of words, with
one who has no country—or who cunnot boldly avow
himself to be one thing or the other.

OUR GOVERNOR'S ELECTION.
The timn draws rapidly to n period, when this
grant contest is to be decided. We hope tho free
men of old Chatham, will Iks up and doing. The
uncounts whinli have reached us Intely from all
parts of tho Statu, are cheering to a degree seldom
surpassed. Indeed the popularity of our candidate
every where he is known, is enough almost to en

We trust ihut Georgia will follow in the wako of
T.-nnessee, on this occasion—and renounce her er
ror* at the Inst gubernatorial and presidential elec,

Indu 'd, from all we can see at present, there is
very littlo doubt that Georgia will return to tho old
principles—those of Jefferson, of Madison, ai d
of Jackson. And we think there will be great
unanimity of opinion at the next election.
Our prospects ere bright—the sun of freedom
shines brightly over our political horizon, and
a brilliant circlet of stars surround tho namo of our

A letter of conciliation has be<»o circulated to-day
among the Bank officers, from the U. S. Bank, full
of assurances of good feeling, and (hut no more
specio will bu drawn, and nil that.
We bul'ove our Banks feel pretty well anurd
that whether tho feeling be good or bnd, no mure
specie will be drawn: for the Post notes will tell
heavily, and the balance it now the other way.
Our banks, wu hope, after the axperienre of this

It was all money borrowed here, for in (he re

Much doubt was expressed as to the light in
which Gen. Taylor would view the recent capture
of tho Ill-linn* nt Fort MoIlon,hut I take pleasure
■fating il has hi* unqualified sanction. He never
pul any confidence in Gen. Macomb’s treaty, not

nation to go to war on their purl, was found be

since. Indians have again made their appearance
in the neighborhood of the settlements about Mica*

the crop, that wa* mado at so much risk on the part

from Fort Wacahola toMicanopy, were fired upon

Mr. Editor :—It would seem from the commu.
mention in the Savannah Republican of the 28 th ult.,
that Mr. “ Watch ” had taken my advice, and read
a little history, before he again hold himself up ••
a modern Sir Oracle.
Taylor's History of Tmland is a modern compi*
lation, on a very sinnll scaln, being only two vo
lumes of the duodecimo size. Did Mr. •• Watch ”
desire correct and eopione information, he should
have accepted my proffered loon of works that have
been long siuco admitted ns authentic, by the best
informed. As it is, however, and making allowance
fnr his apparent ignorance of the subject, I shall ad
mit hi* extracts from Taylor, to be correct—nay,
shall take them for what they are worth—and meet
him with his own weapons.
Tho satisfied nir of •' Watch " reminds me of the
frog in tho fable. Let os come to his "position)
and see whether he will not bunt even before ho
can go " Northward."
•• The controversy originated in my complaint that
native Americans, and other* who happened to en
tertain n diffurent opinion with those now in power,
should be branded as •• Traitore," " Abolitioniite,"
" Anti-Republican!," &c.
The ubovo quotation is from 11 Watch's” letter or
tho 26th ult.
His previous letters of the 24th and 29th July
lust, and 7th of August, when his friend* "the
Watchmen." took up the gauntlet, are before me.
I have carefully perused them, ond call on all inter
ested in this controversy, to do the same. No ouch
ivordi as those quoted by ‘'Watch,” are used
in any one of the communicationt! What am I to
say to an opponent, who asserts that ho used words
which he did not uao ? What sort of a cause must
that be, which requires such defences 7 Let the
public judge between us.
This is a false " position,” and must fall!
The complete failure of " Watch,” and his Aids,
is too plain to say much nbout them—nnd thoir con
tinued perversion cun be accounted for only on the
ground of bigotry; and hatred to the Irish name.
Indeed the word "Jesuitism” appears in the very
first of •* Watch's” attacks on the Irish character—
and surely in the 19th century—
This silly "position” must also fall
Speaking of the period of the " Irish Volunteers,"
"Watch" makes a quotation which shows hi*
carelessness. He a iys, "eighty piece* of artillery”
—Tailor says 80 pieces. In battle the low of
eight pieces of artillery would he very material—
nnd such pert writers as " Watch " should not make
such slips. Why did not" Watch" read on the next
page, and see this sentence, in Tailor's History—
(Ills o«»n author)—
"The surrender of Lord Cornwallis, st York*
town, In Virginia, lost America to Great Britain—
but preserved Ireland" (to her.)-—Taylor’s Hist,
p. 244.
This simple extract show* at once how Inevitably
the fate of Ireland nnd America were at thut day
wound up together. Had Lord Cornwallis been
successful—the British ministry would liava made
no concessions t<> Ireland—the " Irish Volunteers”
then an invincible body with urms in their hands
would huve renounced their allegiance lothe Bri-
■i-.li Crown,and declared their ci-ui.try • free nation,
in such un evoui, the defeat of the American arm*
would have been toe signal fur the iudependmee of
Ireland—for the F.nglish ministry would bu onboU-
ened to continue their oppression.
I thank Mr. " Watch” for tha allusion to " Tat•
LOR*S History.” Perhaps he regrets tho circutn
sinners that nude him a freeman I (ifheiian Ama*
riesn.) But "every man to his notion!”
True, Grattan denounced Flood—as every p«*
triot in America should denounce thoso who would
raise absurd und bigotted prejudices against any
portion of the people of this Republic, whom the
Coostitatiun recognizes as freemen—and I now use
to the leader of the party called the "Native Amsri.
can Party,” be he wheru,or who ho may, the words
of Grattan:—
"Tbemorehont may say toyou,the constitutional!*,
may say to juu, the Americans may say to you, snd
I now say to you, snd say to your bturd, sir,—you
are not an honest man 1”
•• Watch” seems to be preuliariy unfortunate,
whenever he approaches history. Ho is mure hap
py when he use* such phrase* as " bulderdath
or speaks of the transformation of a " potutoe” into
a " tomato*"— what an hoiliculturist "tha man"
must be!
The allusion to Edward Bruce's axplo te in
Ireland,is most gratuitous—and very unfairly stated,

U. S. S. Brig Washington, J
Nkw London, Aug. 26th, 1839. (
Whilst this vessel was sounding this day be
tween Gardener’s and Mnntnuk Points, a schooner
was seen lying in shore off Cnllodrn Point, undur
•lrcumntancBs so suspicious as to outhoriro Lieut
Coin. Gcduey to stand in to see whit wu* hur char
acter—see'.ig n number of people on the beach with
rartt and horses and a boat passing to and fto, a
boat was armed and disputchud with an officer to
board her. On coming along sidu a number nf no.
groes were discovered oil hor deck nnd 20 or 30
more were on the beach—two white men cumn for
ward und claimed the protection of the i.fficor.—
The anhnuner proved to Iks tho "Amisuid," Captain
Krmnnflue* from Huvaxn bound to Guannjo, I* *
Principe, with 54 blacks nnd two puttrngurs
boaid; tha funner after th'-y were 4 nights out ro a
and murdered he Captain and 3 of the crew, they
then took possession of the vessel with tha iiiioinion
of returning to the const of Africa. Pedro Montes,
passenger, snd Jose Rues owner of the slaves nnd
part of the cargo, were only saved to navigate tlm
vessel. After boxing about 4 days in tha Bahama
Cnannol the vessel was steered tor the Island of St.
Andrews, near New Providence, from thencu she
went to Green Key, where the Mucks laid in a sup
ply of water.
After leaving this place tho vessel was steered by
Pedro Montes for Providence, the negroes being
under the impression that »ho was steering fur the
cast of Africa—they would not howover permit her
to enter t e port but anchored every night off tho
coast. The situation of the two whites was all this
timo truly deplorable, being treated with tho great
est severity, and Pedro Montes, who hod charge of
the navigation, was nufforing from two wounds, ono
in the bond and one in the arm, iheir lives tlernlen-
ed every instant. Hu was ordered to change
course again for the cou-t of Africa, the nogt
themselves steering by tho sun in tho day time,
whilst at night ho would alter tho r course so as to
bring thorn back to tlit-ir original plare of dostinn*
lion They remained three days off Long Island to
tho eastward of Providence, after which timn they
wore two month* on thn ocean, sometime* steering
to tho eastward and wh never an occasion would
permit, tbo whites would niter thn course to the
northward and westward, always in hopes of falling
in with some vessel of war, or being enab'ed to run
into some port when they would bo reliovod from
their horrid situation. Several times they wore
boarded by vessels; once by nn American schooner
from King-ton: on these occasions the whites were
ordered below whiln tho negroes communicated and
traded with the vessel; the schooner from Kingston
supplied thorn with n demijohn of water for tho mo
derate sum "f one doubloon—this schooner, whoso
namo was not ascertained, finding that the negroes
hsd plenty of nrnnoy, remained lashed alongside
tho " Armistad" f-»r twenty-four hours, though they
must havo been aware that all was not tight nn
board, and probably suspected tho character nf the
vessel. This wn«un ’h* 18th nfthn present month:
the vessel wns steering to the northward and west
ward ; and on the 20rh instant, distant from New
York, 25 miles, the Pilot boat No 3, came along
side nnd gave tho negroes some unples. Sho wns
also hailed by No. 4. When tho latter boat catnn
near, the negroes armed thomselves and would not
permit them to board them; thev were so exaspe
rated with the two whites for bringing them so
much otK.of th®ir wa y. ‘hat thoy expected every
moment to be murdered. On tha 24th they made
Montauk Light, and steered for it in the hope of
running tho vessel on shore, but the tide drifted
thAm up the bay, and they anchored where thoy
were found by the brig Washington off Colluden
point, Tbo negroes were found in communication
with tha shore, where thoy laid in a fresh supply of
water, and were on tha point nf sailing aga in for
the coast of Africa. They had a good supply of
money with them, some of which, it islikrly, was
taken by the people on the beech. After they were
disarmed ana sent on bo ird from the beach, the
ringleader jumped overboard with throe hundred
doubloons about him, the property of the Captain
•II of which be succeeded in loosing from his per
son and then permitted himself to be captured.—
The schooner was taken in tow by the brig snd car
ried into New London ”
Tuciday, 12 o'clock, A. M.
Wa bava just returned from a visit to the Wash-
ington and bar prize, which are riding at anchor in
tha bay near tha fort. On board tha former wu
saw and conversed with the two Spanish gentle
men who were pasrengrrs on board the schooner,
as wall as owners of the negroes snd most of tho
cargo. Ono of them. Josa Rues, U a very gemle-
minly and int -lligent young man, and speaks Kn-
gli-h fluently. He was the owner of most of the
staves and cargo, which he wss conveying to his
estato on the Island cf Cuba. The other, Pedro
Montes, is about fifty years qf ago, and is the own^r
or three of the slaves.
H* was formerly a ship-master, snd has navigated
thn vessel since her seizure by the blacks. Both of
them, as may ba naturally supposed, are most un-
feigned!/ thankful for thoir deliverance. Jose
Pedro is the most striking instance of eomplarency
and unalloyed delight, we evi-r liava witnessed, and
it is not strange, since only yostarduy, his Muten'f
wss pronounced by tho chief of the buccsnnlers, and
his death song ehauntad by tha grim crow, who
geth rail with uplifted sahros around Ms d«-v .tad
head, which, ss well a* hi* arm*, hear tlsss scar* of
sav-'ral wound* inflicted at the lima of the murder,
of the ill-fated captain and crew. H* ut smoking
Mill seme on tha deck, and to judge from this
msnyr-like serenity of his eoun'enaoee, his emo
tions are such as rarely stir up ib* heart of man-
When Mr. Porter, the prize master, assured him
•f hieeitoty, be threw his arm* around Ms reek,
while gushUf tears coursing inwa hie furrowed

With Capt. G. dney, the surgeon of ibe pmt, and
others, nt \idled the srlmmioi-. which is anchored
within musket shut of the Wnshirglnn, and there
wo saw such n sight as w- n- vor saw hi-liue nnd no-
vrr wish to see again. 1 ho bottom and sidos of
this vessel are covered with harnuelrt and sea grass,

worthy nf the Flying Dutchman, after her fshled
cruise. She is a Bull moiebiiiltvess.-Iofmatcliis.it

six years old. On her deck were grouped amid va
rious goods and arm* the remnant of t >* Etliiup
crew, some locked in the most fimtustio manner n
the silk* und finery pilfered from tho cnrjo, while
other*, in a state nf nudity,«muciau-d to mere skel
etons, lay coiied upon tile decks. Here rould lie
seen a negro with white pantaloons nndihos.ble
shirt which nature gave h'm, and u planter's broad
brimmed hnt upon his head, with n string of go*,
gsws nround his neck; and another with n Ilian
cninhric shirt, whose bosom whs worked by the
hand of soma dark-eyed d.nizhtet nf Spain, while
his nether proportions were enveloped in n shawl n!
gniixe or Canton crape. Around the w|,dints were
gat hared 3 little girls from 8 to 13 year* of age, ths
-••ry im ires of health snd gladucs -.
Over the deck were so- tiered in the most wanton
•ml disorderly profusion, raisins, verm ci-lll, brand,
rice, silk nnd notion goods. In the cabin nml hold
the marks of tha same wasteful destruction.
I To* cargo appear* to consist or silks, crap, s, c.nli-
