_ *l their *14 trick*.
The opposition Press are busy at their old tricks.
I hey see or hope they see in the difference of sen
timent among the Democracy of Georgia, touch
ing the re election of Senator Douglas to the
United States Senate, a chance to divide the De
mocracy and thus to conquer them. We believe
they will be disappointed. Many of the friends of
Mr. Buchanan in Georgia are unwilling to see
Mr. Douglas returned to the Senate, breathing
threatening and slaughter against his Adminis
tration. They would not clothe him with power,
believing as they honestly do, that he will use
the influence of his position to the detriment of
the party. They would prefer to see the election
in Illinois go by default rather than surrender np
the honor and integrity of the National Adminis
tration.
On the other hand, there are many of Mr. Buc
hanan's warmest friends, who contend that Mr.
Douglas, in consideration of past services to the
Democratic party, and in consideration of the
fact that he is mainly opposed by an out and out
Black Republican, should be leniently treated, and
not spurned from the rank of the Party as a traitor.
It is no doubt an honest difference of opinion ; and
while we are sternly and uncompromisingly op
posed to the election of Senator Douglas, we are
free to say, that we had rather see him elected
than Lincoln. We do not understand why a dif
ference of opinion, wide as it is, between the De
ni >eracy of Georgia, touching Douglas, should
breed a war in the party, and alienate men who are
and expect to be, co-workers in the great objeet
of achieving a triumph for the principles and
the policy of the National Democratic Party.
We do not believe that our oppouents busy as
they are in nursing our little quarrels, will be abl •
toproduce much of a tempest. And if it was quite
probable that a serious breach it: the Democratic
party would take place, we do not know of any
thing that wuuld be so apt to nip it in the bud. as
the manifest desire which our opponents express
to consummate it.
It will be an evil day for the Democracy, when
they cease to regard the great principles of their
Party as the paramount object and institute a guer
rilla war among themselves, for the ascendency of
this or that man. this or that clan. Wo have too
much confidence in the strength of our principles
to harbor the thought that personal and political
rivalries among leaders, can for any great while
■ etard the progress of the National Democratic
Party.

On the 28th September last, the Satannah Re
publican said: “The Administration—we say it
cheerfully—though an opponent to the party that
brought it into power, has stood firmly by the South
and adhered with hardly a solitary detlotion. to the

friend of the administration would ask for a more

action. It indicated that the Republican was

We regret to learn, that on Wednesday last,
His Honor Judge Hardeman, while holding Wil

usually been very good; he had, however, felt
somewhat unwell for several days previous to
Wednesday last, when, from the excessive heat of
a crowded room, or from some other cause, while
proceeding with the business of the Court, he
fainted in his chair. He was soon restored : but
thought it best to adjourn the Court, which
lie did until the 3rd Monday in November next.
The Judge, on the next day. returned home, and
his numerous friends hope, ere long, to hear that

A Great .Vlislukc.
In an editorial of the Albany Patriot of the 7th
inst,the writer asks this question: “Where, we
ask, is the solitary Executive appointment to any
office of profit from South-Western Georgia,” and
then answers himself, “not one.’’ We can point
this as it may, the public was hardly prepared for
so sudden a change of feeling and opinion on the
part of the Republican as has taken place. In the
same paper, only three days after the above pub
lication, on the 1st of this mouth we find the fol
lowing :
“The Fast Tennessean has nominated HoweU
Cobb for President and David S. Reid for Vice
the Editor to three in a moment, and probably president, in 186:). We are inclined totheopin-
there are more. Col. May of Stewart has the 2nd I ion that this friendly suggestion in behalf of the
best office in the gift of the Governor. Capt. Jones | distinguished Georgian is a year or two too late
of Columbus has the important office of Assistant
Principal Keeper of the Penitentiary, and Mr.
Campbell of Houston is one of the Governor's
Secretaries. All three are from what was formerly
the 2nd district. This is rather more than an av
crag**, for we believe the Governor has not as many
as a dozen offices of profit in his gift, at least
we cannot remember so many at present. The
w riter further says “South-Western Georgia ought
to command any political influence she may de
sire.’’ That depends upon how much she may
desire: she ought to have her full share in propor
tion to her population, and we think she does
command that already.
The Columbus Times copies the article ot the
Patriot and endorses, by saying that “We hope
the next Convention will take this matter into
consideration, and nominate no man for Governor
who is disposed to make such a reckless discrim
ination.” We are sorry to see the Times set so
low an estimate upon the character of the Demo
cracy of South Western Georgia, as to suppose
that they are only to be kept in the party by pay
ing them office. If the Democracy of Georgia
are expected to go into a political traffic for votes,
it is time to disband. South Western Georgia
has not been overlooked in the appointments of
Gov. Urown. If there is no stronger reason offer
ed, than the one given by the Patriot and endors
ed by the Times, why Gov. Brown’s Administra
tion should be condemned, we are satisfied. The
people will not be willing to exchange a good
Governor for the reasons assigned by the Times.
I* tlieic naa Opposition Party?
We have been interesting ourselves for some
weeks, in the agreeable pastime of bunting for a
satisfactory solution to the above question. As
there is no safer criterion to judge a Party by than
its Press, we have taken the sentiments of what
arc termed the leading “American” papers in
Georgia, and after a close comparison of their res
pective opinions, we are forced to the conclusion,
that there is no organized opposition to the Dem
ocratic Party in this State. We do not mean to
say that there are no papers, or politici
State, who dft not hate the Democ
desire to witness its overthrow ; by no means.—
We mean to say, that there is no concerted or
united effort against the poliey or principles of the
Democratic Party. One newspaper rakes up
Forney’s stories, and another prates of Douglas and
“Squatter sovereignty”: The Savannah Republican \
praises Mr. Buchanan's Administration, while.
He teas a fast nag, but has, unfortunately, we fear
let down by getting into the wrong stable. Buch
anan’s cabinet is a mangy affair, and if all the
tenants do not come out unfit for the turf, we
shall be willing to surrender our pretensions to
prophecy.”
We think even the astute editor of the Repub
lican, w ill find it difficult to reconcile the declara
tion of the 28th September, that the administra
tion bad adhered so firmly to the true principles,
with the declaration of the 1st of October that
the Cabinet of Mr. Buchanan is “a mangy affair”
from which “all the tenants will come out unfit
for the turf.” Is it not a remarkable fact that
Mr.Buchanan’s administration should have been
so true and so successful when he was surrounded
by such a “mangy affair” of a Cabinet? If thus
situated he lias accomplished so much, what might
he not have done if he had been fortunate enough
to have secured in his Cabinet, men acceptable to
the censorious taste of the Republican? But a
more troublesome point for explanation is the fact
stated by the Republican that Mr. Cobb teas a fast
man, and w ould have been a strong candidate it
ite bad not lost Ins popularity by being a member
of au administration, that bad been true to the
South tend adhered firmly to its principles. We
have heard of a great many men being sacrificed
by their political association, but according to the
reading of the Republican, this case stands with
out a precedent.
We confess this is a hard case to solve, and we
should be at a loss how to account for it, if the ed
itor had not furnished in bis article of the 28th
September, a cue to the difficulty. lie forewarned
the country in that article, that "Jur mere party
ends," the administration is to be opposed, and
“rather than prove a false” prophet be furnishes
ill his own conduct the truth of the prophecy. He
cannot complain-that the judgment which lie pro
nounced in that article upon other men, should
be visit* d upon himself. He there said that such
conduct was '•a refection upon the Southern charac
ter for high political virtue, integrity anil good faith.’'

Editorial Carre*paa4eac«.
Saratoga Springs, August 25th, 1858.
W e closed our last communication with a de
scription of New Lebanon and the Shakers, aud a
promise that in our next we would say something
of Saratoga, and the regions round about. From
the Shakers with their broad-brims, and yea,yea,and
nay, nay to the beaux, and bullies and blacklegs
of Saratoga, the transition is sufficiently marked
and peculiar to give it all the spice aud charm
which contrast is capable of producing, and the
imagination can scarcely conceive of a more stri
king contrast in all the varieties of women, than
there is between the pale ghost-like Shakeress,
w ith her snow white dress, her slim figure, her nar
row skirts, and her down-east look; and the
flaunting Saratoga Belle, with her flashing eyes,
her broad skirts, her dashing air, and captivating
glances. From Albany to Saratoga Springs, is
but little more than au hour’s ride on the rail road.
Iu that time the traveler passes through West
Troy, Waterford, Cahoes and Ballston; the latter
is itself a watering place of considerable celebrity,
and has a large and c unmodious hotel. A small
city has grow n up around Saratoga Springs, which,
in addition to o-lier attractions, gives to visitors
att opportunity of attending churches of almost
every variety known in our country, of purchas
ing almost any article necessary to travellers, and
above all. of using the books of a respectable li
brary. Saratoga Kwell supplied with every va
riety of hotels from the best to tlie most indiffer
ent. Among tlie best. Congress Hall, Union Hall
and tlie United States, stand preeminent. We
lmve always prefered Congress Hall. There are
tw elve medicinal springs in the immediate vicinity
of Saratoga, the most noted among them are tlie
Congress, Iodine and High Rock Springs. Con
gress Spring lies at the south end of the village a
little south of Congress Hall. It contains among
other substances a very large quantity of carbonic
acid gas, which gives it a sparkling appearance
and an acidulous taste, very agreeable to those
w ho have drank it for any length of time. Per
sons of all classes and conditions of life assemble
at Saratoga. The aged, tlie poor, the weak, and
infiim, congregate around the healing waters, aud
mix with, and jostle the gay and fashionable;
whilst the young and healthy are whirling in the
giddy mazes of the dance, or losing their health,
and character, and money, at the gambling tables,
the sick and unfortunate are near by gtoauing over
their sorrows. Itt tlie vicinity of Saratoga are
many places of interest to the American Patriot
and Historian. About ten or twelve miles from
the Spriugs, on the banks of the Hudson are
Bemus’ Heights and Saratoga Meadows, the
places where were fought the great battles between
Gen. Gates and Burgoyne, and where on the 17th
of Oct, 1777, Burgoyne surrendered his whole
army to the Americans. About 14 miles from the
Springs, higher up the Hudson was Fort Edward,
famous for many interesting events in the old
French war, some of which are narrated iu
Cooper’s last of the Moliiccans. Near Fort Ed
ward w as enacted one of those horrid tragedies i
which characterize Indian warfare. When Gen.
Burgoyne’s Army approached. Fort Edwaid most J
of the inhabitants fled before them. A few faini-1
lies however who were friendly to the British I
cause remained behind. Among those who re-1
inaineil behind was a Mrs. McNeil who was a
cousitt of Gen. Eraser of the British army. With]
Mrs. McNeil was a very beautiful young lady I
named Jane McRea who was engaged to be mar
ried to an officer iu the British army by the name
of Junes. The brother of Miss McRea was au j
ardent Whig and very much opposed to his sis
ter’s alliance with Lieut. Jones. He lived a few
miles below Fort Edward on the west bank of the ]
Hudson. Jane McRea was on a visit to Mrs. Mc
Neil with w hose daughter she was very intimate.
When the news of the retreat of the American
army from Ticonderoga, and the disastrous battle
of Hubbardton reached Fort Edward, those who
were friendly to the American cause were panic
stricken, and prepared to Ik e from the advancing
columns of Gen. Burgoyne, towards Albany.
Among others, the brother of Miss McRea bad
prepared, with all his family to flee to Albany, and
only waited the return of liis sister from Fort Ed
ward to put this determination in execution. He
dispatched messenger after messenger to hasten
her return, and at last when lie thought the roads
might be beset with Indians, sent a boat to bring
her to his house by the River. She, poor girl !
was distracted by various and contending emo
tions. ller lover by means of a Tory by the name
of Alexander Freel, had corresponded with her
nearly or quite every day since Burgoyne’s army
had been in that vicinity. In his letters he urged
her by every argument in his power, to remain
behind with Mrs. McNeil until lie could send for
her, and have her conveyed to a house occupied
by a Tory by the name of William Griffin, near the
British army, where lie would meet her with a
chapiin from the British army, and they would be
married. Miss McRea was well acquainted with
tlie Gritlin family, had been there frequently; it
was only about two miles from Fort Edward, and
Jenny thought there could be no possible danger
in going there, whenever her lover should send
the token and escort for her. When her brother's
boat reached Fort Edward to convey her home,
a message by the hand of Alexander Freel bad
just arrived from Jones uigitig her to come to
Griffin’s immediately; her lover dare not approach
so near the American Fort, but had provided a
band of Indians the leader of which, whose name
was Duluth, was much attached to him. These
Indians were to keep in the woods in sight of
Jenny, aud act as her escort. The confiding girl
yielded to the voice of love. She left the escort
sent by her brother, aud trusted herself with Freel
and the Indians sent by her lover. About half a
mile from Fort Edward in the direction of the
British Army, a beautiful spring of pure water
gushes out of the side of the hill, and was at this
time, and long afterwards, overshadowed by a
very tall pine tree. At dawn of day on the 27th
ot July 1777, a small party of Americans com
manded 1-3' Lieut. Van Vechten issued from Fort
Edward, and stationed themselves on the brow of
the bill north of the great pine to look out for tho
advance of the British army, now constantly ex
pected. A few hours later in the day a concerted
signal was given from a spot betweeu the big
spring and the river where it could be seen from
Mrs. McNeils house. Jenny’s eyes had been
turned in that direction for some time. She bad
arrayed herself in her best attire. The extraor
dinary length and beauty of her hair has been de
scribed by those who knew her. as very remark
able. Having recognised the signal agreed upon,
she silently left the house of her frieud, and trip
ped along the path that led to William Griffin's
house. As she ascended the first rise of ground,
to her astonishment, aud to the astonishment of
Duluth aud his party who were watching her from
their place of concealment, the discharge cf mus
ketry. followed by the terrible war wlioop resound
ed through the air. Presently the survivors of
Lieut. Van Vechten's patty were seen rushing
down the bill directly towards her, followed by a
large party of painted and yelling Indians.
Jenny immediately turned and ran back to
wards Mrs. McNeil’s house as fast as possible.
But she had been seen by the Indians, and some
six or eight of them pursued her to Mrs. McNeil's
house. The old lady, Jenny, a servant girl and
two children went down into the cellar. Jane
and the old lady were discovered and dragged
out, and with them and what plunder they could
hastily collect they hurried away for fear they
should be attacked from the Fort, from which they
were distant only about eighty rods. This sud
den attack upon Van Vechten’s party,and the eon-
sequent capture of Mrs. McNeil and Miss McRea
was entirely unexpected by all parties. A sav
age Chieftain called Ee Loup, or the Wolf had the
night previous murdered the family of a Mr. Al
len, some five or six miles east of Fort Edward,
aud returning towards their camp flushed with
victory, and exhibiting the scalps of the murder
ed family in triumph, they suddenly discovered
Van Vechten’s party at the very moment Miss
McRea started to meet her lover. Lieut. Van
Vechten and several of his men were killed, and
Mrs. McNeil and Jane McRea as we have stated
were tak* u prisoners. Near the spring, under
the great pine, the road divided, the right hand
patli leading past William Giifliu’s, aud the left
nearer tl.c cast bank of the river. At this point
the Indians halted, and endeavored to place the
two ladies on two horses they had stolen. But
finding it impossible to make Mrs. McNeil sit on
the horse, on account of her age and size, two ot
them seized her aud hurried her off to the British
camp, where she was rescued by her cousin Geu’l
Eraser. M iss McRea was placed upon one of the
horses, and ju»t as Mrs. McNeil was forced away
by the Indians, Duluth and the party of Indians
that were sent to guard Miss McRea came up and
demanded Miss McRea of Le Loup and his party
A terrible sceno now ensued. Le Loup and
his party refused to give her up. Their covetous
eyes Lad been attracted by the rich dress in
which the maiden was arrayed, and they refused
to yield her to the just demands of Duluth. The
latter faithful to his promise to Lieut. Jones,
would not leave her in the hands of her captors,
hut insisted that she should be surrendered to
him. Whilst they were contending, it was report
ed that a party of Americans from the Fort were
in pursuit of them. This was sooti vemfied by
the report of fire arms, the whistling of bullets,
and the sheuts of the advancing Americans.
There was no time for further delay; Le Loup
urged forward the horse upon which Jenny was
placed, Duluth clutched at the bridle reins, deter
mined she should not go with him. The fierce
Le Loup in a boiling passion sprang like a tiger
upon the innocent object cf their contention, and
whirling his tomahawk buried its glittering blade
in her side. As she fell to the ground he wound
her beautiful hair around his accursed fingers, and
in au instant was holding the bloody scalp aloft
and gazing at it with infernal triumph. A party
of Americans from Fort Edward found her body
stark and mangled in a horrible manner. They
bore that and the body of Van Vechten with them
to the Fort—the brother of Jenny had arrived
there to convey his sister down the river. His
feelings on seeing her mangled corpse can be
better imagined than described. The Americans
were obliged to abandon Fort Edward immediate
ly, but in advance of the retreating column, a
small party bore the body of the unfortunate
maiden. Upon the banks of a small stream that
ran into the Hudson they laid poor Jenny down
to her last sleep. Strong men wept aloud as they
consigned her to her humble sepulchre. Fifty
years the bones of Jenny rested in this bumble
grave, at the end of that period they were taken
up aud followed by a long procession of young
men and maidens, and a vast multitude of peo
ple and were placed in the cemetery n* ar Fort Ed
ward by the side of her old friend Mrs. McNeil.
On :liis occasion a funeral discourse was deliver
ed by the Rev. Hooper Cummings of Albany,
and all this vast multitude wept.
Every circumstance of this sad story is as well
authenticated as any chapter in American history
The writer many years ago stood beside the
big spring, under the shade of the tall pine and
heard many of the facts related above, from the
lips of those who were eye-witnesses and actors
in the mournful drama. It is believed by many
persons that the tragical fate of Miss McRea had
an important effect upon the American Revolu
tion. The news of her death with ali of its roman
tic and dramatic accompaniments flew like elec
tricity through the colonies, aud stirred the blood
of every American in whom there was a particle
of manhood, to revenge. Up to this time the af
fairs of the colonies had been disastrous. But
from this moment disasters came rolling in upon
Burgoyne. Old and young men, and even boys seiz
ed their rifles, and determined to offer Ins army and
all its hellish crew of Indian allies, a sacrifice for the
murder of the innocent maiden. This they soon
effected and on the victorious fields of Benning
ton and Saratoga the death of poor Jenny was fully
avenged. About 14 miles from Fort Edward is
lake George the Horicou of the Indians, whose
romantic shores as well as those of the Hudson
have been made classic ground by the history’ of
our Indian wars and the Revolution, and by the
writings of Eeuuimore Cooper and Washington
Irving. B.

We intended noticing in our last issue, the pay

month of September.
The like amount, we are assured, will be paid
into tlie Treasury at the end of the present month.
Making the sum of $200,000 paid iu since March
last.
This is a most gratifying result. It shows what

believe, will oppose every proposition to sell it.

Karp out of Debt.
The remunerative price which the Planter is
now getting for his Cotton, we fear will lead ma
ny planters to purchase more negroes than they
can pay for. and thus run themselves largely in
d*-bt. If any man has got money by hint to pay
all his creditors by the first of January, aud a sur
plus over, then let him buy negroes for the Cash.
It matters but little whether he gives a large or
small price, so he buys for Cash. Negro proper
ty’ will, very generally, be up wliea Cotton is up,
and vice versa: so that the cash buyer is seldom
injured by liis purchases. Then, there are hogs to
buy. few of our pUnters raise their own meat—
keep enough money to fill the smoke-house, so
that you can buy your pork if hogs are cheap, and
not be dependent on the Bacon market in the
Spring. Do these things, and be sure to remem
ber the Printer; then you will keep out of much
trouble, and have au easy conscience.

The Proprietors of the Federal Union will issue a
Daily paper during the approaching session of the
Legislature, if they receive sufficient encouragement,
from the public. A Daily paper at the Seat of Gov
ernment, especially during the sittings of the Legisla
ture, is a public 'want, which we are determined to
supply, if we are not to suffer too much in pocket, by
tlie experiment. Such an enterprise cannot be carried
on without money. To the public, then we appeal for
support. The Daily Federal Union will be in size
and type, and in all other respects save the amount
of reading matter similar to the Weekly Federal Union.
It will contain abstracts of the proceedings of the Leg
islature each day, and of such debates as may be of
general importance. It will also contain late Telegraph
ic Intelligence, the state of the Markets, See. The
price ofthe paper for the Session will be ONE DOL
LAR, to be paid in advance.
We want all those who feel interested and are will
ing to assist us in this enterprise, to inform us, at once
what number of copies they will subscribe for, so that
we can at an early u day as possible, determine whether
we will publish a DAILY. No money will be required
until we receive names, and determine whether we
can be sustained in its publication.
Our Terms art so low, every man who cares to know
what his publie servants are doing, may keep himself
thoroughly posted.
Send in your names by the twenty-fifth day of October.
Tin- time is short; will our friends in the several counties
aid us in this matter?

manner, we will be necessitated to keep good Re

Legislature, to give matters as they come up.
This and other things will be attended with no
little expense, but if a sufficient number of subscri

of the first No. the subscription, one DOLLAR; will

citizens as equals, and by legislation should make
no difference or distinction, by fostering the col
leges on the one hand, and allowing but a pittance
for the education of the poor on the other We
think Georgia should occupy a more lofty position,
and while we would not wish to see any of our
colleges go down for want of assistance, we, nev
ertheless, think she should adopt some means by
which a system of general education should be
established to give all her sons and daughters a
libera! eleineuiary education, upon terms of equal
ity; she possesses property to the amount of six
or seven million uf dollars at least, and what high
er ends we ask, can it be appropriated to, than
those of educating the youth of our country; wo
would, therefore, most respectfully and earnestly
ask our sister counties, and fellow Grand Jurors
of the State, to take this matter into consideration,
and if in their sound discretion they concur with
us in recommending a general system of educa
tion that they are respectfully requested tojoin ns
iu requesting or instructing our Senators and Rep
resentatives to use their best influence to accom
plish the desired end.
We respectfully request tho C’erk of our Su
perior Court to have published in the Federal Un
ion that part of these Presentments which relates
to the subject of education.
