I The convenient arrangement of the
wuneroos marginal references, so as to
k ■ p them directly under the eye of the

the margins to the space occupied by the
■riiit, are exceedingly judicious and
[nsteful.
I In clearness, accuracy and other ex
cellencies of tyjiogrnphy, the specimen
before us has not been surpassed; not
[iften equalled by any work emanating
Bom the American press, or that ot Great
Britain.
ijl It would be egregiously underrating
Bie multitude of pictorial illustrations
lliat enrich the Harper Bible to view
Bern as mere embellishments. '1 hoy,
|i truth, constitute an importantly useful
Bommentary on the holy scriptures, and
Bud to impress on the memory lasting
■'•collections of the great events, the iiici-
Bents and characters commemorated in
■hem. They also shed some light on
■he antiquities and history those remote
lures, nations and races merged in the
■wilight of time and thence on the prog
ress of society and arts of life, to the close
||of the Apostolic epoch—and elucidate
pile idiomatic phrases met with in scrip
ture; the force and fitness of which de
pend on the usages, localities, 6cc. of the
Jews and the nations they had inter
course with.
The choice of the subjects for the en
gravings evinces much judgment and
biblical erudition. The style of excel
lence in which the illustrations are exe
cuted could not be overpraised—all are
singularly distinct, - :, hile over many are
spread a lightness, delicacy, and aerial
softness, that while looking at them, one
might fancy for a moment fairies were
the artists and had illuminated the de
signs with their favorite element, moon
light.
The most remarkable circumstance
connected with this extraordinary pub
lication has not yet been mentioned—its
marvellous cheapness. The work will
be completed in about 50 numbers at
25 cents each—will contain twelve hun
dred pages and at least sixteen hundred
engravings, and will cost in all but
twelve dollars and fifty cents. For this
trivial amount, to be paid 25 cents at a
time during the period of publication,
every family may be supplied with one
of the most beautiful and useful bibles in
the world.
We have dwelt on this subject from
its vast importance, believing that men
are attracted to and become familiar with
the revealed word of God, sin and mise
ry diminish, individuals and society be
come happier, free institutions safer, and
nations more permanently prosperous.
The numbers are kept for sale at both
our principal booksellers—Barnes’, Cot

Gcorgfn Historical Society.
First Monthly Meeting—January
1814.—The regular monthly meeting o
this Association, was held at the rooms
of jhe Society, on Monday evening, the
Bth instant. Notwithstanding the un
propitious forebodings of an inclement
night, we were happy to learn, that a
respectable mimberot members promptly
appeared at their post. The first fruits of
the labors of the Georgia Historical So
cietv, are now approaching the state of
maturity; and we confidently prediet,
that future generations will look back
upon her efforts, as truly worthy of the
attention of great minds, and as having
conferred a great national blessing on
posterity. We allude, more particularly
to the statements contained in a paper by
Mrr Robert Lemon, of the State Paper
Office, London ; which were elicited by
a letter which the Corresponding Secre
tary addressed to that gentleman. Mr.
Lemon announced the important fact,
that all the papers of the Board Trade
having been transferred to his office, he
vvaJ astonished and gratified to find, tha
they ei'traced seven volumes of docu
ments ‘relaCng to the colonization of
Georgia, extend"? lro ' n 1732-’3o,
which Mr. Howard, to procure.-
As Mr. Lemon assures us that Mr. How
ard had unrestricted access to the docu
ments of the Board of'Trade, the laiiui'C
to obtain them, can be ascrilied to noth
ing less than singular oversight or inef
ficent exertion. These papers will,
when procured, supply the hiatus in our
Colonial history, which has heretofore
prevented Dr. YVm. B. Stevens from pro
gressing in the great undertaking of pre
paring a complete History ot Georgia,
Mr Lemon has generously offered his
services in procuriugaccurate transcripts
of these documents for the Society. It
is proper to remark, that out ot the twen
ty-two volumes obtained by Mr. Howard
almost six of them, arc utterly useless,
being nothing more than duplicates of
the others. None of the records, procur
ed by him, are anterier to the L7th of
Aug. 1735. Had the History of Georgia
gone forth to the world, without the
Fight afforded by the colonial documents
embraced in the period from 1732 to 1735
inclusive, its incompleteness would hove
been a source of mortification to Dr.
Stevens, and of abiding disgrace to the
State of Georgia. It is for this reason
that Dr. Stevens has heretofore refused
to proceed with the history until these
necessary papers could he procured;
insisting most positively, that they must
be in existence somewhere—and very
justly observing, that an enterprise so im
portant as the colonization of George,
and which moved all Europe at that
time—could not have been carried on
without leaving some traces of its pro
gress in the records of the times. This
great desideratum will now be shojtly
supplied by the researches of Mr. Lemon
of London, under the instructions of the
Georgia Historical Society. Several
other important communications were
read by the Corresponding Secretary,
which we have not time to uotice in de
tail. Among them, were letters from
Prof. Wm. McKenzie of Edinburgh, and
YVm. B. Hodgson, Esq. of this city, pro
senting valuable Spanish documents re
lating to the siege of St. Augustine by
General Gglelhorpe. After the reading
of these papers, Dr- Wm. B. Stevens, em
braced the occasion to express his high
gratification at being able to meet the
members of the Society, under such sus
picious cjrcu instances. His remarks,
though brief, were characterized by his
usual appositeness of expression, and
justness and reasoning.— Sav. Ilep.

We copy the following particulars of
the assassination from the Chronicle
Sentinel of yesterday:
Our citizens were thrown into a high
state of excitement yesterday morning on
learning that ('apt. Edwafd W. Colier,
proprietor of the Richmond Hotel, imd
been assassinateed in the street, about
four o’clock in the morning, by Robert
Burns. The facts, as we have been able
to gather them, arc substantialy these.
Capt. ('oilier had gone to the Georgia
Rail Road Depot, to await the arrival of
the cars. When the cars arrived, among
other passengers, he met with two gen
tlemen, one an old acquaintance, whom
he invited to his hotel—they accepted the
invitation remarking, at the same time,
that they designed taking the cars for
Charleston--when the three sat off to
gether. Soon after leaving the depot
they were overtaken by Burns, who u'as
a runner for the United States Hotel, and
who endeavored to persuade the passen
gers not to go to Collier's the Richmond
Hotel, to which one of them replied that
they did not require a guide through the
city. Qapt. Colier then told Bums he
was impertinently meddling with matters
that did not concern him—some other
words perhaps passed, when Burns rush
ed upon Colier, a short scuffle ensued,
during which, Burns stabbed him three
times, with a dirk or bowie knife, two of
which entered tha region of the heart, of
which he immediately died—scarcely
speaking after receiving the wounds.
Burns fled instantly, crossed over into
South Cerolina, and has thus far elluded
the vigilance of the officers and citizens.
The following reward has been offered
by the city authorities, and we hope he
may yet he arrested —and pass ( at least,
the mockery of a trial—for recent expe
rience has taught ns to hope for little else.
Capt. Golier was a man much esteemed
in thd community for his many excel
lent traits of character, and has thus been
cut off in the prime of life, leaving n wor
thy family to deplore his untimely fate.
ANOTHER BLOtDV MURDER.
SI,OOO Reward.
The Providence (R. I.) papers of Mon
day morning have the following particu
lars of another atrocious murder, perpe
trated on the day before.
Our citizens were horror stricken yes
terday afternoon, by the news of the
murder efone well known among the
business men of this city, although a
resident of Cranston, the adjoining town
—Mr Amasa Sprague. It seems that he
left his house übout 3 o’clock in the af
ternoon, for the purpose of going to a barn
about a mile distant, lying in the town of
Johnston, in order, as he stated to his
family on leaviug, to shelter his stock.—
He took a foot-path very generally fre
qunted, and in which, at almost any ten
minutes in the day, and especially on
Sunday, there were persons passing,—
About an hour after he left home, he was
found about one mile from his house, ly
ing on the foot-path, perfectly dead, with
such marks upon his body as left no
doubt but he was most brutally murder
ed.
An inquest was held on the body in
Johnston, after which it was taken up
and brought to the residence of the de
ceased, and the whole neighborhood was
of course, thrown into the most intense
excitement. Another Coroner’s Jury
was summoned as soon as possible, and
physicians sent fnr. On examination
the body and the place, it would seem
that Mr. Sprague was first shot in the
right arm, just near the wrist, and the
blood found sprinkled in a zigzag course
on the ground, showing that lie had run
a short distance after receiving this
wound. The Sheriff passed last night
at Mr. Sprague’s, butlio arrests have as
yet been made. The perpetrator, or per
petrators of this act connot escape—they
must be detected, sooner or later. A re
ward of one thousand dollars has been
offered by the friends of the deceased, for
the detection of the murderer.—& (Jour
Aitpsi of the Supposed MBrJcrCfs.
The Providence Journal of Tuesday
morning, says :—‘We learn that Nicholas
S. Gordon, and his brother, John Gordon,
Irishmen, were arrested yesterday after
noon on suspicion of having been con
cerned in the murder. They were
brought before Henry L. Bowen, Esq.,
Justice of the Peace, and committed for
examination at a future day. The
grounds of suspicion are as follows:
Nicholas S. Gordon has frequently
petitioned the town council of Cranston
for a license for the sale of ardent spirits,
but, through the opposition of Mr. S.
his petitions have been refused. At the
last time his application was rejected, he
threatened Mr. Sprague, and said he
‘would settle it with him
He has been repeatedlv, within the last
week, with a gun in his hand, near where
Mr. S. was found.”— lbid.
Hints on Conversation.
Many men of talent forget that the ob
ject of conversation is to entertain and
amuse, and that society, to be agreeable,
must never be made the arena of dispute.
Some persons spoil every party they join
by making it their only object to prove
that every one present is in the wrong
but themselves.
An old Husband and a yonng Wife.
In England, Mr. J. Gould, aged 80,
was mar.ied to Miss Erskine, aged 18.
After the wedding, the juvenile bride
groom addressed to his friend, Dr. G—-,
the following couplet to inform him of
the happy event:
“ So you see, my dear sir, tho’ eighty years old,
A girl of eighteen falls in love with old Gould."
To which the Doctor replied :
“ A girl of eighteen may love Gould , it is true,
But, believe me, dear sir, it is Gold without u.”

COTTON MARKET.
MACON Jan. 17tk, 1844.
The Market for the past week has
been very animated and prices have ad
vanced 1-4 to 3-Bpferlb. on most descrip
tions—this feeling in the absence of any
•advices of an improvement of prices a
broad, has doubtless been produced, in
consequence of the heavy operations in
cotton in the Atlantic Cities ns well as
those of the Gulf. By the Arrival of the
Packet Ship England, at New York,
Advices five days later have been receiv
ed from Europe, the Cotton Market had
undergone no change there, since the
sailing of the steamer, by which previous
nccounts were received. We quote to
day as Extremes 7 1-2 a 9 ; the receipts
of week have been unusually small, and
the continued Rains with the almost im
passable condition in which they have
left the roads in every direction, will
prevent any considerable receipts of cot
ton for several days, in our market.

Fellow-Citizens of Bibb County:
PERMIT me (o inform you, that I am a candidate
before you, and solicit vonr support for the officn
ot Tax Collector of Bibb County. 1 am known at
most of you, and you know my capacity for fulfilling
the office, and Hatter myself that I shall be able to give
good security lor my performance.
I was the first Tax Collector of the county, and"
have served in that office one y ear since, which is
k nown to the old citizens of the county; and also, l
hare served in other responsible offices, which ihey
have bestowed on me, and which were discharged to
the best of my ability-, and 1 trust to their satisfaction.
It isknown to nintiy of you, that 1 have had many
hardships and difficulties to encounter in bringing of
fenders to justice, in the enrlv settlement of the coun
tv, when it was infested by that lawless class which
flees before a civilized and law-abiding people. I have
never been a defaulter, or caused a security to suffer,
or applied to the Legislature for re.ief. I have grown
up on this soil, anti intend to live and die a citizen of
this county, whether I receive office er not. But if
you will confer on mo the office of Tax Collector at
the next el. ction, I shall be under many obligations to
you. SPENCER RILEY.
