People having chances in the Gold Lottery
have been very uneasy concerning the fate of
the prizes ; and we have been asked we don’t
know how many times, whether the Lottery
wasn’t ups£t ? if the commissioners hadn’t ab-
squatterlatcd with all the gold mines ? if the
Legislature, ot the Convention was uot trying
to cheat the people out of their money 1 &c.
&c. They* have queer doings about Milledge-
x-ille, any how; and we have been able to
give very little satisfaction in the premises—
but we trust the editors of that metropolis will
let us have some light on the subject.

We are informed that, during the' investiga
tion of an important case heforo-'our Superior
Court tlie other night, a distinguished gentle
man of this bar (who has long been in tfyc peo
ple’s eye, and lias long had an eye upon the
people,)' took occasion, in the midst of tlic.most
thrilling speech evor heard, in a style of rhet
oric peculiarly his own, and with a delicacy of
manner inimitable, to speak of us and our la
bors, in terms of praise and commendation a-
nwunting almost to flattery!. It is said—(we
-xvero not present ourself, and hentfe our mod
esty was saved a severe trial)—that the ora tor
on this occasion was so profound,'so original,
and-withal so very complimentary, in his rem-
arlcs touching cur feeble labors in the cause of
truth and morality, that- the whole audience
were astonished ! the Court itself raised its im
maculate spectacles—-the members of tho bar
looked amazed at each other—and even seve
ral pe'ttit jurors suspended their snoring to list
en. What made this digression of the learned
counsellor the meta observable, and bis com
pliment the mohy grateful, -E.-J-.S, its being whol
ly uncalled for, and. entirely (inexpected ! Ev
ery one, who has ever heard the finished orator
in question in any of his happiest efforts, knows
the expressiveness ofhis manner, the graceful
ness of his gesticulation, the chastened vehein-.
cncc of his utterance, and the amiable fierce-,
ness of his eye. And it was thought during

had a stick in one hand and a pistol in the other
1 said, who did this, Byrom made no reply; 1
j thought brothei was dying, I helped carry hiu

j though 1 am not certain; 1 did not observe that
1 Byrom's pistokbad been discharged, when I ;.-k-
I cd, n ho did this, I looked at Byrom. It was a
foggy morning. 1 saw him diu— I saw him un
dressed, he had uo armour. I did not notice Bv-
1 rom when he went off.

Jefferson Gray'd'’.—On the fir.-t day of Octo
ber, the day pf election, 1 vvus present at a part
ofan altercation between Mr. Jacob tShoiwclland
,"ilr. Byrom—Mr. Byrom observed that Mr. Ellis
was a damned rascal, and he believed Mr. Shot-
well to be equally concerned with him. During
the course of the dispute, Byrom said that he had
understood that'.Mr. Ellis was a fighting charac
ter, and he would like to exchange si o’s with
him or any one else who would espouse the cause
or the Macon Bank.
Cross Interrogatory.—Mr, Shbtfvell and Bvront
were quarrelling when I first saw them, I was a
few yards from them, there was a large crowd t-
rouud them. • I did- not hear him say that 8hot-
well was a fighting character, I am positive that
lie said that he had heard tlvit .Mr. Ellis was—
Wm- Baldwin and Y\ nt. Rowland were present,
I do not know that they heard hint make use of
that expression. - . .
Frederick Leins.—I heark part of a conversa
tion between Shotwcll and Byrom—when 1 fifst
saw them Byrom was talking rapidly, lie s lid
that Ellis yvas a rascal r.ud believed Mr. r : hctwell
to be equally couceruetl with him, Sholwcii aid
that he was concerned with bhn in the store-but
not iu the Macoti-Bank, that I10 was uot evc-vd
director, that Byrom had been in it as often as
ho had, Byrom said that if ho had to wf>rk bard
for his money he would have blown the .establish
ment to atoms. Byrom said he understood that
Shotwell w as a fighting man, Shotw ell replied,
that he never fought, Byrom then asked where
was his partner,'that he had" heard that hfe-wa?a
fighting man and would like to exchange shots
with him, does uot know whether lie relerrcd to
Elllis or tjiiotvvell. /.
Cross' Interrogatory.—Byron . said when-Jte
threw the cane down, that ho did not wish to
Tigin vatty' man ^without giving him an equal
chance—did not sec Mr. GraybtU thetc—saw
Joint L. Jones standing behind Mi. Shplvve'.i.
Direct—Byrotn threw down his cane before he
made the observation that he did not wish tonight
on unequal terms.
Dr. Baber, saw Ellis a short time after hc^vas
shot, the hall by which he was" killed penetrated

V.TTNESSES FOR THE STATE.
John £ijis sworn. On tlio 3d day of October
last I heard the report of pistols and came out—
saw nay .brother lying down, Byront standing by
him with a club or cane itiJus hand. My brother
was nearly opposite his own gale—the gate is 6
or 8 feet from tho house, possibly ten feet. My
bro. appeared resting on one elbow, Byrom was
standing a very feu- feet from him. Two or S, of
whom my younger brother was one, commenced
lifting tip deceased, who was lying down—I ask
ed li if he h:u! done this deed—ho turned off and
[ said something about witnesses. My brother as
| soon as he was raised upturned his head to where
B was standing and said. “Draw a pistol on mo
wiRyou ?” 1 saw nothi jg in B's band except a
stick. My bro lived about3 hours and then died.
It was in this county, on Wednesday after the e-
Icction this year. It wai rattier before sunrise—
very early in the morning—a foggy morning.
My brother lay near the middle of the street, op
posite tho gate. Brother was wounded near tlie
naval, on the right sid-*, apparently with a ball.
Cross Interrogatory.—Bro was resting on his
elbow. I heard pistols fire, lie did not die af
ter 12 o’clock. He conversed with his wife; I
heard him converse intelligibly—never heard
him make threats against Byrom—never heard
him mention the difficulty between Byrom and
Shotwell—lived about o hours after he was shot:
I think lie was iu his senses Brother lived on
Walunt street—not very public street. By rom’s
club appeared to he larger than a common walk
ing cane. Brother had a pistol in his h *nd—the
nt any one.
Croes'Interrogalcry.—Mr. EHts.Iived about .in
hour and three-quarters, the ball must have met
tvitli uo obstruction uujil it. had penetrated, the
back bone. It’ took its direction froth having
been fired, ns I suppose, by a person taller than,
himself.. . •
Direct.—lip could'not.have had pp'nrmonr,
or I could not-have passed my hand over, hint so
often without feeling it. Tie wr.s not.undressed
when f saw him.
Owen Dillard.—I know nothing respecting
:h‘e killing until he was shot down, I walked near
hiirt,_when the pistol fired I u as within a gate, a-
bont'40 or45feet from the place where the acci
dent happened, 1 turned my head and saw Mr.
Ellis lying down on his r^iit ilbow, jjbout the
tithe I got out of the gate, 1 saw Byrom pick up
his stick and make as if he would strike Elbe,
one of Byrosh’s witnesses said, “don’t strike him,
you have hurt- him bqd enough already,” I did
not hear Ellis say any thing.- 1 saw him when
fie went to market and*when he returned. I did
V not hear Byrom say any thing n hen he was told
>v'notto strike, ,he knocked of Mj. liili-. h..t. it
was only a few minute after ! saw EHi ri turn
that the pistols fired. I saw a pistol fr-re. tjrc ,
lock out. in By rain’s hand, the cloak covered the
pistol—it was a large pistol. Mrt Byrom passed
around tho corner took his tw‘o witnesses with
him around the corner towards the tavern; By
rom had on a cloak thrown around him. The
pistol was a large one—carry a hall of | of an
ounce. Ellis had his pistol cm oped tinder him
—thought his pistol fired when hew;- on tbo
groond-vhe saw the smoko rise from the ground.
Ellis’ pistol must have been n sinai! one—they
fired very near together. Ellis’ was a small
pocket pistol. After Byrom picked up h - -'.i.k
atfd had knocked off Ellis' hat, I10 pushi d out
Ellis’ pistol from his hand, either with his foot
or his stick, and called the attention of the other
men to see that he had a pistol.
Crest Interngaiory.—Mr. Byroads witnesses,
Bryan and C onner, walked off towards rhe in
surance Bank, Byrom cailc 1 them back aud took
them off with him. It was between daylight
and run rise I fir.-t saw Ellis come tctn:.l my cor
ner—came this way. Byrom said to witr.c-
“comeback you cowards,” spoke to them pretty
keen- Mr. Ellis had about time to eo to market
and return—he had nothing on. Got to Elks 1 ■-
fore tho Ellises did. One said, “who did this ?"
don't know which asked tho question, Byr. tn
said “Oh! who did?” Did not touch Mr. Ellis
—did not go in the house. .Mr. Ellis w as in tho
habit of going to market about that time in Me
morning—has seen him there.
E. Brown. -On the 1st October Ifeard part of
a controversy between Mr. Shotwell aud Mr-
Byroin. Byrom told Shotwcl- 1 h.- heard ho was
t fighting man, Shotwell said vou allude to Mr-
Ellis, replied he had never tought in h:s life Mr-
Bvrom then said, he hod heard that Ellis was
and ho shpuld like to see Mr. Lllis, Shotwcll re
plied, “If you hive any thing against Ellis."go to
