An unfortunato and truly melancholy occurrence
took pinco at Col. Hamok’s plantation nt half
2 o'clock, Thursday morning. Tho sentinel*
ving dtreovered in two places, persons approach
ing, retreulcd to thu House, within which the
small fores on the plantation were, nnd gave tho
alnrin. Immediately Lieut. Bnowa, with hi, men,
proceeded to reconn-dtre, ns well at the four nr
five friend» who had offered to remain an the place{
and having been on llio watch for upward, of 30
minute., they discovered persons moving quickly
up, tho Serjeant fired, wounding Lieut. Graham,
of tho Dragoon., in the arm, ami killing Serjeant
Wolcott, of his company. Lieut. Giuham, it
seem*, w-n, npprouching with great caution, fhe
having, at J’icolnla, received an express, informing
him tlmt Indiana hod been at the plantation,) and
thefiicl of the olurm having taken place some time
C reviuus, brought him iu collision with the troop.
i charge, wlot were anticipating tlie approach of
thu enemy. At the moment preceding the fire they
were heard to spring their hnyaneta, which aoumlvd
much like thn rlick of cocking a gun; and it was
under these circumstances ilia accident occurred.
Fnriunntely Dr. Barnum was onu of the gentlemen
who hud remained for tho protection of tlio place,
in connexion with Lieut. Brown and eleven men
of his compuny, and hi* services were very prompt
ly nnd beneficially rendered Lieut. Graham. Ser
jennt Wolcott was brought into rite home immo
diately. but lie was dead. Licui. G's wound, though
severe, is by no means of a dangerous character,
nml ho will, in a very shoit time, rejoin his com
pony.

. THE MESSAGE
Of Governor McDonald isun interesting docu
mem, and we liave perused it with high gratifica
tion, as embodying tho.o view* which It i« the duly
of the Executive periodically to lay Irafore tlie Re
presentative* of tlie people, nnd through those
agents of the people before the hitter tbemrelve*.
The Governor liu*, with brevity, but with much
perspicuity, expressed those views. Wo era plea*,
ed to find a recommendation that thn entire amount
of Slato taxes be heronfier paid into the State Trea
sury, a measure absolutely necessary to recruit
exhausted Treniury, nnd aid in advanci g thnt
groat work of Internal Improvement which wt
commenced ond lias been forwutdod by past Legis
latures with a spirit commendable to their Stato
pride.
Such a work,begun under bnppy ouspicc*,should
not bo suffered to bo arrested for light or transient
causes, and the more speedily to cn»ur© its useful
ness we cordially approve of tlio recommendation
the Governor that in th« present low sluio of
our finance* but one track bo constructed.
We trust that the Legislature will devote it" ear
ly attention to a subject, in which is involved not
only tlio protperily of the present generation, but
the welfare ofunbought millions, fi-r Georgia i» not
a Statu to stnnJ etill when tho works now in pro
gress are completed. For year* Iter energie*

ting influence ofslumber.
She wa* content to »it stilt and hear of tho im
prevemcnU oftho day, and the energy wn* wanting
to toko hold and to prove what power exiitcd in
her midst.
In 1836 w* .aw near our city tho piney forest
felled, and tho surface oftho soil exhibit the visit if
the spade. Thon we bod hope* that Georginn*
were beginning to feel their strength. That *trongtb
has since been renlued by the facility with which
her various work* have sprung into activity. Let
the Legislature fecond these exet lion* of many
Georgia’s enterprising Citium. Let the State
Road bo speedily put into njraration, and the bene,
fits which will flow through this main artery, will
bo diffused through eveiy portion of the system.
We are pleased in glancing at tbe progress of this
State enterprise to observe it officially eommuniex*
led that Jambs 8. Williams, Ksq.,« native of our
city, baa succeeded to tbe responsible and distin
gulihed office of Chief Engineer.
The iuletference nf foreigner* with our domestic
concerns, aided by Gates, a member pf our own

Pilatxs, Nov. 1, 1840,
By last night's express, I am enabled to give you
(ho toattlt of tlie conference of the Indians with
Gen. Armistcnd at Tampa Bay.
Ilnllrck Tustenngga, Tiger-Tail, and sig others,
enmo in at the appointed time, and among other
things, agreed to meet tlie General with 300 of
their people at Fort King on the 7ib inst, for tb#
purpose of further negotiations. It is expected that
4 he two Chiofs named, will proceed to Washington,
nnd visit tho President in propria per,ona.
If they should deem it tlteir interest to come in
good fuiih, it may ond the war, as they probably
bnvo it in tlteir power lo dictate tertjt* of peace {
but I opine that if the war is ended only upon tho
good foitli nf tlio Indians, it will tost, forever and #
day. They are like England on tha boundary ques
tion ; they will oppoint commissioner and negotiate
until doomsday—nml until doomsday bold oa to the .
country.

ces of immense yields in particular localities t
Wo understand front undoubted authority that
tbreo of tlio neighbors nf Mr. W. C. Young of Jessa

on an acre uf Ids furm, a few days since, and found
the yield to bo thirty nine barrel, and eng half

from mraturemont to have been produced .upon on#

LOSS OF THE STEAMBOAT LE ROY-
SIX LIVES LOST,
The steamboat Siren, Cnpt. Fields, brings Intel-
ligenco uf the loss oftho Le Roy, Washington Smith
master, nnd reports tlie melancholy newt that 6 par.
sons were killed, nnd several dangerously scalded,
buint, or otherwise wounded.—The accident occur
red uti Sunday Inst, about 2 o'clock I*. M. opposite
Blunt's Town, on this river.
Thn I.oRpy was cm ployed on tbe Brunswick line,
in tbo ci/hveymice oftho mnil ond passengers, be
tween Chntuhoocheu and loin, nnd in her Ihsi trip
was coming front tlie first named place. She is re
presented to hnvo bueii nnold bout, but wns not con
sblered unsuf *. It appears that first Iter boilers rx
pioded. and nfterwr.rds site cuught fire and burnrtl
down lu{tlio water's edge. Tbe wrack now Ijcsoppo
site Blunt’s Town,to which place tlio wounded were
conveyed.
Among tlio pns-engers wn* M-. Willi* AI«ton,and.
we believe he was tlm only one who escaped unhuit.
He is reported to huve stated, thut before leaving
Cliaitnhoucliep, lie observed something about the
bunt which created n fueling of insecurity. Thus im
tolled he knpt as near the stern uf tlm boat us possl
de, that being the safest place. On hearing ihcrx
plosion, tie immediately jumped into the yawl boat,
and thus made his cscupe while the vessel was uit
fire.
Thn killed nro repnited lobe
Daniel Rowlett, passenger.
Washington Smith, master?
John Ashton, engineer.
l'ressly Hicks, fireman.
John Waller, do.
Henry Carter, a free mulatto, sleivunt
The uamesofthe wounded we hav^not learned.
Fortunately, (here were not many passengers on
board, otherwise ihu disaster would have bvea still
more melancholy. Thu Le Roy was owned by the
mail contractors on the grfcot Southern Route,
Mes«rs. Hopkins and Stockton.
Further Particular,.—Since the above (was in
typo, through the politeness of Cnpt. James Y.
Smith, of the steumbont Louisa, we have received
a more circumstantial account of tbe melancholy
cninstrnpbe above minted.
Thn Le Roy left Chattahoochee on Sunday, at half
past 10, A. M. conveying thn mail to Iowa. Tire
accident occurred iwomih-s above Blunts a t*wh, at
the hour before stated.
Tlio names of tho wounded aro
— Holloman, Pilot,
Sam Smothers, n free mulotlo, cook,
A black woman belonging to the boat, and a ne
gro boy, belonging to Judgo Spang.
There were three persons who escaped unhurt,
making in all thirteen persons who were on board
nt the time of the arcident.
The wounded were conveyed to the plantation of
Mr. Satton, where they huve received every ntteu
lion, nnd in a fair wny of recovery. The pilot is
much bruised, hnving been blown several feelintb
tho nir, and fallen on tbo wreck with tbe wheel in
his hand.
Nothing wns saved hut the mail which was blown
on to tlie forecastle. The river, Capt Smith says,
is literally strewed with fragments, and since the
accident tlie lmut has entirely disappeared, leaving
nothing but the stern pole to indicate where it lays.
After tho explosion, Hnd before the fire, a Mr.
Tapper went on board tho wreck alone, to ren
der assistance to the wounded and recover llw
bodies. While thus engaged tire wounded were
tnken away in the yawl boat, leaving him with
out a living companion. In it* nbsence tho
flames spread with fearful rapidity, but whh un
daunted, and truu bravery, he still persevered to tbe
imminent danger ofltis life, nnd had the return of
tlie yawl been delayed n few minutes, ha would un
doubtedly hove fallen n sacrifice lo Ids heroic bene-
vnlenco. Wo ore happy to state that he escaped,
but such noble conduct should net go entirely unno
ticed.
Copt. Smith, master of tha Le Roy, waa only in
tempuruiy command, the regular master having en
gaged him during his absence at a Camp Meeting.
The mail was rescuorl by Mr. Sutton, anil conveyed
toils destination by tbe Louisa.
