The circumstances, as correctly as wc could obtain them, arc these:—A Mr- Smith, who was hauling Cotton to market, white walking behind his wagon, (hi* negro driving,) was suddcnlv kn-cked down and beaten by same of these men; the boy bearing the noise jumped from his horse to see what was the matter, when several commenced beating him, he however made his escape without much injury By this time, a Mr. IIuckabv, from Pike, came up and enquired the cause of their beating Smith, when he was instantly knocked from hi* horse, and most barbarously beaten, hi* scull was fractured, and he was otherwise badly injured. He died the next day, although every assistance was' rendered him Some one else, whose name wc have not learned, was also seriously iijured. Not content with murdering Iluckaby, they knocked out the fore teeth of a horse belonging to one of the company, broke nim down iu the loins and left him in that situation. So soon as the pirion .ra were made known iu the city, the Colonel ordered out a number of men, on horseback and on foot, aud went in pursuit of the murderers. On the same day diey returned, with about 45 Irishmen pri soners. They were kept under guard daring Monday night, and on Tuesday, alter examination by the civil authority, they were all discharged, the witnesses hot being able to identify the perpetrators of the crime, There is but little doubt, that some actually concerned in the murder, were among them. ’.intsvoadcaee of Che Rollinorc Chronicle. * COURT OF iNviUKV. Frkimiricx, Dec 10,1326. i was introduced, without the observance of any for- .aUit.’’.. toihe presence of tin: Court, now sitting in luattext ui*ou lien. Scott iu his Florida campaign.— •jin, Alucomb, Atkinson and Brady, wiih CaplCoop- rr a, Judee Advocate, comprise the tribunal. Col. Lukhay, (consiucreU the most accomplished man in the army)of the 'Jd Artillery, Major Graham, Lieutenant A!, iaiiJrr and Capt Green are here as witnesses.— (•.■ii Clinch, C«L Bankhead, and several others are hourly looked fur. The investigation is conducted in U>‘ home lately occupied l«y Caspar SV. Wcvcr, Tsq. This morning at i 1 o'clock, ^the proceedings ot yo.v t?Mav having been read,) Capt. 'i'hrttston was called an for testimony, and certainly more lucid explanations md (kmcrtpiions of plans, marches, countermarches, •targes, assaults, mumpits, defeats and vicissitudes, mridcru to duucs in tne held, could not well he con- e ’ived. 1IL evidence went clearly to exculpa.c Gen. •','ott in every particula., and to show that, instead ofbLunc, ht merits tim strongest encomium, “lam jwrjcukwlv anxious. Mr. President," said Gen. ticoit a (it-ii. Macomb, “lint, the witness should be ques tioned closely m ihe matter now pending; he was con picuous iu the < siupaign, tiioroughly lumiiar with my plan*—is a man of general intelligence, and, in the ibsenco of Gen. Clinch, superior to all others in hi* knowledge of nil t c circumstances connected the tr-r to question. I propose to witness the following qaesuon through ihe propet olficer." The Judgo Advocate then read something like the xnnevtd to witness: From dtlilledgciiHe. The bill to'organize the Court of Errors passed the House of itepresentatives, on Friday last, by a majori ty of 5, with several amendments from the form in which it passed the Senate. Among them, one redu cing tiie salary from 29 to 5500 dollars; and another, aulhorizii g the Court to asses* damages of from 10 to 55 per Aent. for frivolous appeals. It is doubtful whe ther these amendments will be concurred in by the Se nate. If they should not, and the bill has to come again before the House, ii will in all probability be lost. Should the bill finally pass, and receive the signature of the Governor, the election for Judges will come on some time this week—perhaps to-morrow. Who will be selocted to occupy the bench, it is impossible now to say. M'Donald, Warner, Baxter, Cuthbert, Berri en, dec. &c. nre spoken of. It is thought a selection will be made (as it ought) of those best qualified, no matter to which party they may belong. Besides the three Judges, there will be a Reporter also to elect, with a salary of $1500—which, with the privilege of the copy-nglit of all the Reports, will make the office one of consequence. A number of candidates are spoken of. The Hill to construct the great Western Rail Road, from the Tennessee line to the Chattahoorhy river, at the expense of the State, has passed both branches of the legislature. The bill provides, that the money be taken from the Treasury, without any allusion to the Surplus lie venue—which fund is to be placed at in terest in the banks. Wc look uj*on this act as the most important one of the present Legislature. It will re deem the char icter of the Legislature from the re proach of supineness and indifference to the prosperi ty of this State. The bill to incorporate the Ocmulgee Bank of Ma con, is still suspended before the House. We trust this branch of the Legislature will so far overcome its scruples as to pas* this bill, so important to the pros perity of Macon. Several other bank charters are ah •so before one or the other House. The bill to create the office of Adjutant General; with many other important measures, are still unacted upon;'and if the Legi*lature adjourns on i.turday night, as it is expected it wil], many of these bills must be laid over. A good many members of both Houses ha\ e already obtained leave of absence for the bal a nee of the session. The bill to consolidate and amend the several acts relating to tiie City of Macon has passed the House. The bill to erect the office of Public Printer, lias passed the House, and obtained a first and second read ing in the Senate. liiUtdgttiUe, Dee. 13, 1836.

The bill came up today to incorporate the Ocmulgee ..lauk—the stockholder* offering to give a bonus of $'25,000 to assist in building a female Col lege iu tire city of Macon. The fate of the bill de coded upon this day’s legislation, for the bill was up on its final passage to day before the Senate. I listen ed with intense inter* *1 at lire arguments of gentle men who had arrayed themselves, as advocates and op ponents of u.e bill. My station you know win* in toe lobby-1 was determined to give my undivided atten tion to the debate, and watch the speakers in all then- meanderm®, and follow them if |*o*sihle through aU their ramifications, in order to trac out their consis tency or incon-istcucy in their present icgislauve ca- r T’am frank however to acknowledge my friendship for the bill, from two considerations—the first is that it wa» demonstrated to my entire satisfacUou toat ‘here was uot banking capital enough in the city o‘ Alacon to give that protection to the commercial and agricul tural interest that the city and the circumjacent coun try so imperiously demand. The secoiid consideration which, in my Jiumbie conception, is no less important than the first, is the bonus of &io,0M offered by the stocklioldew to assistiu building a icinalo CoUc£e m the cuv of Macon. This consideration with me was Ell paranmunt to all others. The day wathi.ud when I sincerely beUeve the good people ot Georgia <** »*• -•»•%*“"“ SSSF.SES tbo preriding officer of the Senate pronounced in a distinct and audible voice, "shall this bill now pass;” whereupon Mr. Hudson of Putnam, in his usual uaso- gultural style, gave utterance to a few incoherent re marks, which were neither intelligible or sensible, ac companied at the ?.-ime instant With an extraordinary convulsive jerk of his head and arms. Iam sure that (kat gentleman has not a sincere 'and devoted friend, who does not lament the occasion that calls forth that senators parliamentary powers. ’ The next gentleman who mounted the wool sack was the young Senator from Nevvton,.Mr. Floyd: this gentleman is one of the Alumini of the University of Georgia, audlikemost of the graduates of that insti tution, has a wonderful knack at speech making.— That gentleman opposed the bill to my vety great as tonishment, because, from my acquaintance with him, which is limited indeed, I thought him a firm advooate of all literary institutions, and would give them his hearty supiiort but in all this I was disappointed. Air. McAllister the veritable Senator from Chatham, came forth with all his prowess aud self-confidence, and flushed with the recent victories he had so gal lantly won, to give direction aud tone to the debate— torally the Union Senators, and bring them up to the charge, and make a furious attack upon the ft lends of the bill—which are tiie friends of commerce, agricul ture aud of literature. 1 well recollect that, the name of McAllister last year was always placed in’juxtapo sition with every tiling that was high minded and use ful. It utrue he i-aroainto the Senate a professed U* nionman.a party tactician, and his courso as a Sena- ter was marked even by his jmlifical opponents, eveiy way worthy the patriot, the statesman and the sage.— He it waa that gave the first greatimpetus to the ball of internal improvement, his arguments in favor of the Central Bail Road with Banking privileges, was re plete wtth good sense. Upon that occasion he painted to the life tne dilapidated, the consumptive, nay, the hectic condition uf the ancient .city of Savannah, he contrasted in glowing terms her present fallen state with her ancient glory. Ho asked m the name of Sa vannah for help, and it waa instantly and generously awarded to him. The name of .McAllister, my dear sir, was eo-evnl and coextensive with internal im provement in his native land. Tire good citizens of Savannah met him and gave him a hasty greeting and E renounced the benediction “well done thou good ar.d lilhfid servant, yon have won for yourself imperisha ble glory." The citizens of Macon, punctiliously gen erous and noble to a fault, were determined not to be outdone by the generosity of Savannah, though much her junior, was ready and willing to join in the holy chant, and offer him the freedom oi their city. His motto too my dear sir, ‘fat justitia mat cadnm,” was his political and moral dial-plate, aud no man seemed to square himself more completely to all if* points.— This ccntlemen, w-ith all his popularity, honor and die- linctn.n. which were to deservedly acquired duri ng the last session, of the Legislature, and which was, by com mon consent of all parties most willingly yielded to him, has fallen never. I tear, to rise again" Sir, his course has been marked by vassallaiion ami doubt he has veered all about for the last ten or fifteen days, un til the Ocronlgee Bank bill came ap, and it was "impos sible for me to doubt any longer the complexion of that gentleman’s course. Yes, he debated the bill with great warmth ami zeal in its opposition, and being hard pressed he wound up his declamatory harangue by fervently ejaculating to heaven, “That from this time henceforward and forever more he would he the uncompromising opponent of nil banks and banking as sociations.’’ Just at this time, when every thing seem ed to be lost, and gloom and dismay pressed heavily upon the advocates of the bill, the honorable Senator from Talbo^ stepped forth with all that pith-force and talent for wbicii he is so justly admired, and gave a turn to the debate, a> d saved the bill in the very throes of d.-ath. Yes. ray dear sir, the liberal, high-minded, dignified cud honest course of legislation pursued by Mr. Powell of Talbot, has won for himsclt the admira tion of his political opponent*, and he stands doubly endeared to his political friends. Citizens of Colum bus, inhabitants of Macon, the honorable senator from Talbot has stood by you in evil as well as good report, and defended you nobly from the foul aspersions that have been so repeatedly and wantonly thrown upon their citizens.
