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. Jacob bhe'irillsworn.

Counsel for defendant, Rockwell, Campbell, Beall. For prosecution, Poo, (solicitor gen.) Lamar, Bailey, lowed us for this day’s paper would permit, from such popular sources as are within our reach, a sketch of the prominent incidents in the life of 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'.

Ct/** Mr. Elisha W- Cnestcr, Counsel for the Cheiokees, has notified the Govenor, that sppli- ention would be made to the Supreme Court of tho U.

The Governor yesterday communicated the notice of the Legislature, expressing the same'unequiv ocal resistance to litis usurpation of sovereign ri"liis r as lie has heretofore recommended, and re pealing Ins same determination to resist it to the., wliotc extent of Ins authority. The communication of the Governor was refer red to t he joint committee on the Stat'c of the Re public.—Macon Advertiser.

I did u6t know Mr. Byrom previous to that day, I do not think I ever saw him rrtpre ban onco before, I had nevor spoke to him—- I had not scoti Byrom that day before that time. Cross Interrogatory.—A negro ciime out of Mr. Ellis’yard before tho young Mr. Ellis’, F-y- rctn told him to go back. It was 5 or 6 minutes after I first saw them, before Byrom fired. By- ro:n called soon after 1 saw them, I did not stop when he first called. I walked 5 orfi steps aud ihca stopped, Byrom was giving buck in a kind of a round about away, something with his side towards him, the prisouer save back vory slow. IIo h .d on a cloak—his sido was towards me goncrally. I was near the row of trees on the side of the Insuranco Bank. I did not see liis hands, ho might havo had a pistol in his- hands and 1 uot seen it, I did not see him havo a pis tol. I was within “0 steps I should think, when Byrom fired, after ho fired 1 walked up within 6 or 8feet of him. I should think it was within a half of a minute or a minute after Byrom flung down his stick besore ho fired. Byrom had tho slick iu his right hand. I did not see him havo the stick over his head though it was uot on the ground. 'AW John T.

ASBURY HULL, Sec'ry, LivEnroor,, Oct. 13. 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 our last. Brazils remain in limited demand, and 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 cluding 800 hales of American, taken on specula tion, amount to 10,580 hags. Import, 12,4-10 bags. Today there has been a fair demand for cotton wool, which Is held at full market prices. 3,000 bales are the estimated sales and comprise 200 Brazils and Egyptians, tho former in Pernams at 9jd. to 9$d.; Bahais at Sd.; and Maraukams at 9<1., and tho latter at Sgd.

"« 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 $37 31 cents, making together the sum of $133 bl cents, viz.
