“ll’m. Harrison—On the night before Ellis was

liters it was the prisoner. In John Smith s con
fectionary Byrom seemed to bo in a passion
something wnj said about some Bank, I believe

Freeman's corner—it was between day light and
s -.:i rise. The direction in which ho was going
would carry him to Mr. Ellis’ house. IIo was

TESTIMONY FOR PRISONER. .
Torrence C. Conner, sworn, says, It was on
tho 3d of October, very oarly in the tnorniug, as
I was going to work, just after 1 passed die Insu
rance Bank, I saw two persons nearly opposite
in Mr. Ellis’ house, hut ruher bclo.w it, they were
not far from the row of trees on tho sido walk in
front of t%c house when I first saw them, 1 bear
a man say, "look b/aro gentlemen, here is a man
with a pistol drawn on me,” he again repeated it,
••1 lolt.ht re geutlcmoa, hero is a man with a pis
tol drawn on me," utter 4 looked at them, I saw
Mr. Ellis’ arm stretched out towards Mr. Byrom,
1 did no; see any. pistol in Mr. Ellis’hand at that
time, Mr. Byrom said it again, “look hero gen
tleman, hero is a man with a pistol drawn on
mo,” Mr. Ellis said something, i thought he said
ha'iu tended to use it, though I am not sure he
s lid th it, Mr. Ellis said, “you drawed a stick on
me," Mr. Byrdmsaid if it will be any satisfaction
do any good, J da uotrcebllccttho exact words
he would throw the stick away, and h«* did throw
the stick out of his baud. In a short timd after
that, 1 heard the report of a gtui—1 thought it a
l.ir;;- pistol, l saw Mr. Ellis fall and saw n sinokc
» .ili. Byrom as though he had shot. Just as
'Jr. Elds ’fell, his pistol which he had in his hand
stretched towards. Mr. Byrom fired, I saw that—
then Mr. Byrom. iveut and picked up bis stick
and struck Sir. Ellis over 'the head. I do not know
t whether lie hit him on the head, fcnt lie knocked
hi EntofT, I spoke to Mr. Byrom notto strike him
fier he had done enough.. J walked up ucnr them
li i u, mid Mr. Byrom with the small end of his
‘tick tried to push tho pistol out of Mr.- Ellis’
ii uid, and told him to give up his pistol, then the
other t;vo young Mr. Ellis’ cnnic out aud took
,t!r. Ellis np.jnd Iwcnt away. They came out
of a gate rather below Mr. Ellis’ dweiliug house,
due of them canto a little before the other, 1 hoard
< i : of them say “who did .this,” but i did uot
hour any nuswer at all. I was 40 or 50 yards
1 in them whoa I first saw them. When Mr.
Jiyroin called “look here gentlemen,” Byrom was
walking ac^cr backwards aud Ellis slowly fol-
1 living him. Mr. Ellis’ arm was lifted, up rath
er abovo tho level of his body, with his arm
extended towards Byrotn; Byrom gave back 18
or 29 steps as ucar as I < an judge. I did uot
turned round and went u.T. Byrom rave back after
Bolluog down his *tiuk, .Mr. Ellis advanced after him
about as he did before. I did not notice anjr gdlly be
hind Byrom. I had never seen .Mr Hvrom or .Mr.
Ellis before that, us I know of. They were about 18
or 12fcetapart when 1 first saw thorn, and they re
mained about the same distance apart all the time.
byroiD slept 3 or 4 steps back after he threw the stick
down :<eforehe fired. Mr. Ellis did dot advance any
faster alter the stick was thrown down. It was in the
open street. It was 7 or 8, perhaps 10 minutes alter
Byrom called before he fired. I sow a pistol in Ellis'
hand, both before ondafierhe fired. Byrom fired
within n quarter and half a minute after he dung
down his Stick, flay were about the same distance
apart w hen Byrom fired as they were before he flung
down h's stick. Byrom had on a cloak. Ellis’ pisto?
looked like a small one. The report of the first pis
tol was a good deal the largest. I did not notice the
size of Byram’s stick.

CARROLL He was bora on the 20:h of Sep
tember, 1737, at Annapolis, in this State; and
consequently ivas, et the time ofhij death, in the
Diuety-sixth year of his age-. He descended from
a highly respectable Irish' family, who had emigra
ted to this country iu tlie reign of William and Ma
ry. At a very early age he was sent to St. Omers,
to be educated; thence,’ after a short time, he was
removed to Rlieitns, to the college of Louis Le
Grand; and ihcuCeto one of the best institutions
in France 1 or the study of civil law. After finish
ing his studies and his travels, lie returned to his
native land at the ripe age of twenty-seven. At
tins period the discussions between* the mother
couutry and the colonics commenced, and were
soon aftei carried on with great ivarnnh. 3Ir.
Carroll did not hesitate, but took sides with the
lovers of liberty.
He wielded a ready pen, and was soon known
as one of the most powerful political writers in
Maryland. lie foresaw early that an appeal to
arms must be made, and boldly recommended pre
parations.
Early in 1776, he was sent as one of a commis
sion to Cannd , to iiidueo the people of that prov
nice to join us in opposing the mother country.
The disasters which had previously befallen our
arms in that quarter rendered the-mrsston ineffec
tual. He returned in June, 1776, and instantly re
paired to the convention of Maryland, of which he
wasn member; and there, urgiug them to Withdraw
ihe instructions they h id given their delegates 'in
congress, not to vote for independence, at length
succeeded. He was appointed a delegate to con
gross. On the eighteenth of July, he presented
his credentials to the continental congress at Phil
delphia, andon the second day of August-follow
iug subscribed his name to tho immortal instru
.ment. He was considered at the time, as one of
the most fearless men of the age; for he had more
to risk, in point of property, than any other man in
the whole community, Hancock not exceptetl. On
the first day he entered congress he was appointed
to the board of war, of which he was an efficient
member. During the whole of the war he bore liis
part with unabated ardor, often being at the same
•time a member of the convention of bis native state
and a member of congress; a double duly, which
required great energy anil industry to 'perform
but, so ably did he discharge his duties; tiial both
bodies were satisfied with his. attentions; to..each
In 1778, he left congress, and devoted-himself to-
the councils of hjs native state. When the con
stitution of the United States went into operation
Mr. Carroll was elected a senator from Maryland
and took his scat in the city of New York, at the
organization of the government, on the thirtieth pf
April, 1783. lie was elected ,a second time to
this situation.
In the year 1801, he quitted public life at the
age of sixty-four—and (or thirty years and up
wards, has passed a life of serenity, tranquil liappi
ness and prosperity, till in the fullness of years
and honors, the Patriarch has been gathered to his
fathers—and die last of the signers is dead'.

Cotton.—Tho demand for all descriptions of
Cotton has again been upon a limited scale, hay
ing been confined chiefly to the immediate wants
ot the trade. Prices have, however, been fully
supported ; indeed, the low qualities of American
Cotton have regained the slight decliiio noticed iu

is more freely met by the holders. We make no
change in our quotations. There was rather
more business done yesterday and ihe market
closed very firmly. The sales of the week, in

tion, amount to 10,580 hags. Import, 12,4-10 bags.

"« E. tne Grand Jury, -ween <J aud sworn for the |
Si v county ofiiibi), make the followin' Prt^c.it-
ments:
H c are almost daily made to witness the violation
of our laws prohibiting the introduction ol slaves into
tiiis, irom other States, for sale. We view this mode
of increasing our ilitve population ns n grew evil, and
earnestly recommend a rigid enforcement of tin- laws
of the State forits prevention. U’e recommend th se
la vs to the attention of cur 'Representatives i.-i the
present Legislature; and should they deem them in
efficient, that they use their endeavors to have them
so amended as to render them effective.
According to the present arrangement of holding
our Superior,Court, but one Week can be had at the
regular sitting, which is fuliy ascertained, is altogeth
er too short a limit to dispose of the quantity of busi
ness on our dockets, end that an adjourned t*-rm if ill
always. Wc therefore recommend tli.at the time of sit
ting oe so altered, or such arrangement be made to
give sufficient time for. the disposal of its business.
A committee of this body have eiamincd the court
house and jail, and report, that they find the jail gen
erally in n good and safe condition. But from the
number of negroes and other persons that are fre
quently Confined, they recommend, that should the
county funds admit ot the expense, that anoihcrrnom
be added to the jail apartments. Tlie room now oc
cupied by tliejniior could be fitted up at u small ex
peusc by adding gratings to the windows, new doors,
&c. For the accommodation of the jailor, a cheap
iramc building of two rooms, which would be much
more airy aud comtortable than his presentapartnreiits,
should be erected.
The Jury find that the court house has suffered
much injury trom the leaky r condition ot the cupulo
aud roof, aud is likely iu sufier to i much greater
oxtent in the plnistering, &c. They recommend it
to the immediate attention of the Interior Court, and
that it receive repairs forthwith in tlie root, spouts,
windows, and wherever it may need it.
A committee of this body who have taken into
•consideration the situation of the roads and bridges,
reported, that with.lew excxptions, tile roads .and
bridges are not in such a coudition as they would
►wish, or as the importance of Macon as a marketjown
would require. We cannot, however point out any
particular section oi road that requires special notice.
We-recommend to the Inferior Cuart a rigid en
forcement of the road laws.
We have ban b’efore us the Tar Collector’s Books,
and recommend that he be allowed on the ritate Tax
the sum ot $103 8.J cents, and on the county tax

Cairoll is removed fiom the love, gratitude, and
veneration of |hq living', to an association with the
kiudrcd spirits of Washington and his associates
the departed patriarchs of liberty. Henceforth the
Declaration ot Independence is sacred to history—
pay of the mighty Fast. The last of the Signers
is dead! -
. ’Those tidings, though iu the course of nature
not unexpected in some degree, will bo received
with solemn feelmgs by the American nation One
whose name has been familiar iu every mouth for
reverence and affect on, is departed ; oue who was
the sole relic qI’iIic days of our fathers—their suf-
ferings, their constancy, their heroism, their vir
tues, ihcir triumphs, and all the glories which
h ive succeeded, making us and «« country the
pride and the hope of the world, has been taken
awfiv from our eyes, and every American heart
feels as though it had been bereaved of some near
and cherished personal friend. A "whole people
claimed the interest of children in li is fame and
well-being in his li!c time, and they will join, at
Ins death, with ono common impulse, in the ten
der and reverential feelings of children for a lost
bcncfaoitoi and parent. . heir regrets, though pro
found, will he temperate and resigned, as of those
who mourn over a dispensation ol Providence
which was inevitable, and has been mercifully de
layed fiir btyond the ordinary lifeofman ; of those,
who, for iheir own sake and that of mankind, la
ment that in lhi» world, goodness and greatnes
should share the universal doom ol decay-—im
mortal qualities, clothed in per shnble bodies.-
- Deep, sincere, and universal. wHl be these sen

dead was eminently fortunate. 1 ho large estate
which ii _• inherited, and risKcd in our revolutionary
straggle, while it furnished liis youth and rann-
hood with every rational pleasure, enjoyment, and
accomplishment, conformable to his enlightened
and liberal taste, made his old age one ot case and
affluence, of generous hospitality and liberal
benevolence. A numerous and honorable family
grew op around him, srveetning the evening of his
life with the purest of earthly enjoyments, the
communion of the domestic hearth- And at the
close of n career, which extended twenty-five years
neyond the allotment of the Psalmist; blessed in
all personal relations, he saw himself the object of
r.-vere.ice 11 twelve millions of freemen ; a mighty
