Esq. it resulted iu the election of Major Jno. A Dupree. The ticket is now FOR SENATOR, JAMES DEAN. Esq. ron house or representatives. • JAMES E. DUNCAN, JNO. A. DUPREE. JAMES M KELLY TAe Rev. John Howard, of the Methodist Episcopal Church, depnrted this life on Monday last. Mr. Howard had long boen engaged in the Gospel Minis_ istry, and stood high ns n man of talents and poweifiq preacher. His death will be an irreparable loss to the Church and to the cotuniniiity at large. Two Negro boys, 10 or 12 yonrs old, belonging to the estate of Mrs Denton, while bathing in the Ocmul- gco on Suuday last, got beyond their depth, and wero drowned. Alabama Election.—The last Montgomery Avertiser furnishes a complete return of the late election in that State for Members of the Legislature ; from which it appears, that the Opposition have been boasting of a victory never yet obtuiued !

Majo/Uy. on joint ballot, of lOfor Van Buren! Another Skirmish. By a gentlemen just arrived in town from the scene of action, wc learn that a smart skirmish took place on Thursday last, in the corner of Irwiu county, about 10 miles from the Lee line, between a small party o| Indians and some thirty or forty whites. It appears some men. who were fishing on the bank of the Flint river on Wednesday evening, came suddenly upon the cantp of the Indians. They gave the alarm, and in the course of the night, a company of between 30 and 40 men, well armed and mounted, was raised. Early in the morn ng they divided their force into two bands, one under Spencer Riley, the other under James Gay, and went in pursuit. They found in the Indians bad left their encampment; they pursued on their trail, and overtook them after going 10 or 12 miles, drawn up in battle array, in the open pine barren. The whites charged upon them; and when within abo two hundred yards of their line, the Iudians fired.— Our men, however rushed on; and before the enemy had time to reload, they were surrounded. The Indi- a ns fought desperately.’cluhbing their rifles, and fight- iug man to man. None of the whites were hurt. Ri joy had a rifle snapped at him within a yard of his breast, by an Indian who was behind a tree —the Indian had fired before, and in attempting to reload had drop ped in a ball without any powder, by which accident Riley's life was saved. The whole number of Indians waa 23—of whom Id were killed and 5 (women) made prisoners. Unfortunately, several females were a- mong the killed. A dozen go d rifles, a quantity of ammunition, some trinkets, Ac. were taken; their halls were all covered with buckskin, ready to use.— One of the squaws speaks English, and is well known in the settlement. She states that there ore many •moll parties of Creeks yet unsubdued, still stealing through the swamps, attempting to effect their escape to Florida; and that a uuniber have already arrived there. Every society, every profession has its hypocrites; and •f they arsfewe- among other denominations than a- mong Roman Catholics, so much the better for them. With regard to the erusade going on at the North a- gainst the Catholics and Nunneries of Canada, we consider it as all of a piece with that against slavery in the South—originating, firstly, in an inordinate desire to meddle in other people's business; and secondly, in tho idea of creating an excitement, for the purpose of turning it to their own advantage. The same pens and presses are engaged in both; and doubtless with the same object in both cases By the following article it would appear, that these “Awful Disclosures” are a tissue of awful falsehoods: From the Neto York Transcript. Maria Monk's Awful Disclosures —Wo per ceive by the Montreal papers, that the inspection of the Hotel Dieu Nunnery in that city proves that tbe Disclosures are a tissue of falsehoods, as far as regards the localities of that religious house, and that it is quite certaiu that this woman could oever have been an inmate of it. It is disclosed, moreover, that she had resided at ono time iu a sort of Magdalen Asylum iu itloutrcal for penitent prostitutes, and that the names of the pretended hups introduced hy her into her woik, were ac tually those of certaiu of the frail sisterhood who were in tho asvlnin at the very period she inha bited it. The “ Refutation” will appear forth with! and when it sees the light, we will givo an analysis of it to our readers. Siuce writing the above, we have been favored with an inspection of the manuscript copy of tbe " Refutation,” and tho pieces justificary append ed thereto iu the form of a number of affidavits, the most important of which are those of the gen tlemen who visited the iuterior of the Hotel Dieu nunnery, to compare it with tbe description giveu hy .Maria Monk. Among these, were the Rev. Mr. Curry, corresponding secretary of the Home Missionary Society; the Rev. G. W. Per kins. Pastorof the American Presbyterian Church; the Rev. lieury Esson, Pastor of the Scotch Presbyterian Church; the Rev. Benjamin Holmes, Esq Cashier of the Montreal Bank, and justice of the peace; John Ostell, Esq. Architect and Surveyor; and Johu Jones, editor of the Ami du People newspaper. All these gentlemen declare that there is not the slightest resemklauce between Maria Mouk’s description, and the butldiugs and vaults ; and that had nay alteration been made since the publication of the book, it would have been necessary to alter it from tho summit to the foundation. Nothing can be more complete than the sworn evidence of these gentlemen, who are among the most respectable in the British pro vinces. There are also affidavits of Jane Ray, so fie- quently mentioned in the “ Disclosures,” Maria Howard. MissRccd. Jane M*Coy, who were pe- uitent prostitutes in tho Mugdaleu Asylum at the time Maria Monk was there ; and also of various persons with whetti Maria Monk lived durum the period she states that she was an inmate of tbe mi littery. The work will be ready in a fortnight, and will be issued hy one of our respertahle publishers. We therefore, consider this most impudeut humbug as being roost satisfactorily exposed. A little time was necessary for this conclusion, anil that time has been so employed as to briug conviction to tbe miuds of the most bigoted and credulous. their visit jo Philadelphia, wes presented ;it the Miut with a five cent piece of tho present year, which was struck at the time of their being present. 200.000 silk worms are in operation at Cranston. ou the farm of the Valentino Silk Company.

Dear Sir—In the hurfy aud t-xcilenieut conse quent upon Mr. ltaihbuu’a failure, we wrote you a ha6ty note yesterday, informing you of that eveut. but the most astouudiug part of the trans action is, .'.hat immense forgeries variously estimat ed from $300,000 to $1,500,000 have heeu deve loped hy this explosion. This, as we had but a moment, aud had not time to give details, was omitted yesterday. Last evening about eleven o’clock, Lyman Rathbuu, the brother of Benja min, was arrested, on the charge of forgery, and this morning about 2 o’clock, Benjamin Rathbuu was arrested on the same charge, and both are uoiv fully committed for trial. A clerk who was suspected, has fled, but will be pursued aud taken if possible. The forged paper was (nostly held iu New York, aud by brokers in C. McKenzie, of Anson Couuty, N. C. who lias just returned from a trip to the South W est, that he received such information from a Mr. Quin. a Baptist Clergyman of Floyd County, Ga. as satisfied biin that Knox had been murdered iu the Cherokee territory about the dividing lino of Cass aud Floyd comities probably by a white tnau. The skeletou of a horse aud man were found at that place, in a wilderness aud with tbe skeletou, a collar buttou such as Kuox watt- know n to wear with the letters J. H.

We are then for old Tecutnseh.” “Theaufnl Disclosures of Maria Monk," have been a profitable speculation to the bookmakers; who are in terested in keeping up the excitement the book hns created. Somo of die editorial fraternity have lent their aid m fanning the flame and making the book sell; and the more bigoted have made it the founda tion of a crusade against the Roman Catholic Chutcli. Even the enlightened and tolerant editor of the Char- le-ton Observer gives credence to this narrative, and base* upon it severe censure against the whole sect.— That paper gravely ipges, that “the awful disclosures of Maria Monk have their counterparts iu other Roman Catholic countries”—and publishes as true, every slander it meets against that church. The N. Y. Jour nal of Commerce, with different ends, purs ies the same course. Many other papers follow in the Wake, Without having read the work, or expressing an o- pinion ns to its genuineness, we should be as unwil ling to take it aa a proof of the licentiousness of the en'ire Roman church, as we should the profligacy of any individual ol tbe corruption of a whole society .to whic he belonged.

Mr S. was a native of Halifax county. North Carolina, aud emigrated to Georgia at an early age. He was, in many respects, a very remarkable individual. For integrity of purpose, and firmness of resolve, and-ho nest plain dealing, society has seldom seen his equal. He despised flattery, abhorred deceit, and through a long life disdained to embark in any undertaking that did not bear the impress of honesty and virtue.— Wrought in the finest raonld, his mind never embraced petty notions or pursuits. Mr. S. was a patrjot, horn in the school of the Revolution; and amid the storms which for the last three years hav-> agitated the politi cal atmosphere of his beloved country, he stood nrm as the mountain rock. An ardent love of country was the predominant trait in his character, and those who knew him best will attest with pleasure his unrelenting opposition to innovations of any. kind, and his deep solicitude for the perpetuity -of our free institutions. But lie is gone ! the friend, the patriot is no more! Long, long, will his afflicted family and numerous friends deplore his loss. S.

This belief was founded on the supposition that the road would not be extended beyond the town of Forsvth, and that in pro portion to the increase of bnsiness there, would be, as matter of course, a decrease of bnsiness here — We are apprised of there being a great diversity of o- pinion on this subject, and time alone can determine which is correct. We understand that we have been particularly sin gled out by certain individuals os being most obnox ious to censure; that i itr names headed the petition, and that it was hy our influence that the meeting was held and the resolutions passed. This is really giving us a largercredit for influence than we ever presumed we possessed It is true that we have endeavored to deport ourselves in snch a manner as to conciliate the respect of our fellow townsmen, hut it never once en tered into our minds. that w’e had, bv this emme of conduct .acquired such an influence as to control a ma jority of the respectable inhabitants of Macon. Wc have also been informed that we and some few others are to be put down. We disregard such threats and shall treat them with the contempt thev mprit. We are willing that our conduct should stand the test of public scrutiny and will submit to its decision We expect to continue to devote the same attention to bu siness and h -ve an abiding confidence in the stability of the c ntinued patronage of our friends.
