Another Citizen” will perceive that we
have omitted the concluding paragraph of his
communication. However much truth I here
may be in the rcnmrlts contained in it, yet it is
not always proper that every truth should be
made public. A re-perusal of Ihe article would
\se think, convince the author that our decision
i!| perfectly correct.
THE BRAVE JERNIGAN.
VVe publish the official report of this indefati
gable Indian hunter and Indian fighter, in to
day’s paper, and recommend it to the perusal
of every body. He deserves the thanks of his
country and we doubt not his services will be
remembered with gratitude by the whole popu
lation of South Western Georgia. He is just
the very boy to go wherever an Indian can, and
fight him any way he desires.
The Georgia and Carolina Almanac,
for 1837, has been laid on our table by Messrs.
Guieu & Thompson, of the Constitutionalist
office; a table of its contents will be found in
our paper to day. We think it rather more
neatly printed than usual, and from the hasty
glance we have given its pages, find that it con
tains many matters of useful information not
hitherto contained in Almanacks.
DREADFUL WRECK.
In to-day’s paper, our readers will find a spir
ited account of a dreadful wreck which lately
happened off the coast of North Carolina. It
js from the Salisbury (N. C.) Watchman, one
of the wreck masters, and will prove very in-|
teresting to friends and others concerned tor j
the loss of the gallant new vessel.

A writer in the Standard of Union, over the
signature of Henry,” says that the Sentinel
lias, among other papers, come out against, the
Central Rank. This is a. mistake. We se
conded the recommendation of the Federal
Union to appropriate Georgia’s share of the j
surplus revenue to the construction of Railroads \
and tin purposes of internal improvement gen
erally ; but we have never urged the propriety
of breaking up the Central Bank.
The Southern Banner announces the name
of Pitt Milner, Esq. of Monroe county, as the
candidate selected by the Van Burenites recent
ly at Athens, to till the vacancy in their ticket
for Electors, occasioned by the withdrawal of
Gen. Watson.
A writer in the Georgia Journal, as well as
the Editor of that paper, call upon the Federal
Union and Standard of Union for a copy of
Gen. Watson’s letter declining to run as a
candidate for electior on the Van Buren ticket.
It appears to us the letter is due to the public ;
at least to the immediate friends of Gen. Wat
son. We should like to see it ourselves—may
we be permitted to add our request for its pub
lication/, as we presume it cannot be private or
confidential.
At a recent election for two members of the
Legislature to fill two vacancies in Hinds
county, Mississippi, the White candidates were
elected by overwhelming majorities. Hinds is
the most populous county in the State, and the
scat of Government is at Jackson, in that coun
ty. We notice tli s among other signs, of the de
clension of Van Burenism.
The Southern Whig of the 27th says, “ We
understand that the Directors of the Georgia
Rail Road and Banking Company, are making
arrangements for the putting under contract,
v the balance of the Union Road to Greensboro’
and to Alliens in the month of October next.—
All persons, therefore, who may feel interested,
would do well to make arrangements for the
contracts.”
MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
The ferry boat winch plies between the Navy
Yard at Brooklyn and the foot of Walnut street
New York, on the morning of the 23d inst.
came in contact with the steamboat Boston and
was immediately sunk. Six persons and four
teen horses were drowned.
THE NOBLE SACRIFICE.
The letter of Col. John H. Howard in to
day’s Sentinel, exhibits one of the most magnan.
imous acts of self devotion to the public good,
of which the present eye of political degenera
cy can boast. Had the friends who placed the
name of Col. Howard in nomination for Con
gress, have requested his declension for the
purpose of enabling them to pay a tribute of
respect to a political opponent who had sus
tained with independence and ability their views
and feelings on the floor of Congress, alone and
unaided by those from whom whom he had a
right to expect co-operation, upon the most vi
tally important subject of the day, it would
even then have been a degree of noble self sa
crifice worthy of the highest praise and admira
tion. But when he comes forward of his own
accord, in the abundance of Ins patriotism, un-
asked, unsolicited, and relieves his friends of
llieir obligations to support him, for the two
fold purpose of heaping honor upon a political
opponent who has done his duty to his country,
and of making the way fair for the people to
elect others who will “go and do likewise,” it
becomes an act of disinterested magnanimity,
honorable to the head that conceived it and
supremely honorable to the heart that had the
moral courage to make the sacrifice which it re
quired. High as he has hitherto stood in the
estimation of his political friends, how infinitely
higher will he now rise by this one single act!
And should the day of our supremacy as a par
ty ever arrive, and we think it close at hand,
how great and resistless will be his claims upon
our future consideration.
By this important movement, Gen. Glascock
will be returned to Congress with the most tri
umphant ever given to any man in Georgia. It
adds 20,000 votes to his poll, and even if his
present treacherous colleagues should be again
returned With him, it will tell the enemies of
Southern rights that although the power of
party discipline may sustain them, yet the peo
ple of the State have sustained him. It will
falsify the predictions of those who in their
hearts would be glad to see him down, that he
could not and would not be sustained in the
stand which he had taken on the floor of Con
gress on Mr. Pinkney’s resolutions.
W e say to the people do your duty to your
selves and to your dearest interests. There
are now two tickets before you—one is the
Georgia ticket and the other is the ticket of
Mr. Van Boren—one will subserve the interests
of the State; the other, the interests of that
wily political weathercock. We are under
stood; we mean there are nine candidates now,
and only nine upon whom the State can de
pend to vindicate her rights, and there are
8 others who, if re-elected, will desert
those rights, as they have hitherto deserted
them recently on the floor of Congress.
The Federal Union exhibits great uneasiness
about tiie result of the approaching elections.—
Sometime since it denounced the Republican
Herald of Columbus on its first appearance, in
the most unqualified terms, and along with it
the whole class of Union men supporting Judge
White. Now it perceives as every body else
does, that the Union friends of tho judge when
added to the State Rights’ strength, constitute
u majority of the State; and that it is impossi
ble to give the vote of Georgia to Van Buren,
the Federal Union changes its denunciations
into the most affectionate and parental kind
ness, and begs them, ifthpy will vote for White,
not to abandon the party on other elections.
At first, the Federal Union supposed itself able
to whip these independent men back again into
the ranks of Van Buren, but finding itself mis
taken, it now resorts to a d'ffbrcnt process.
But notwithstanding all its present apparent
kindness and affection for them, if the party
felt able to do without them, they would be in
stantly and unceremoniously kicked out of it.
It is certainly an act of great clemency in
the Federal Union, to allow the Union friends
of White to vote for him when it finds they are
determined to do bo, and it exhibits no little
pliancy in the creed ofthat paper, to hear it tell
‘ these nullijiers in disguise,” as it once denoun
ced them, that they may vote for White with
out any violation of their principles.
But the Union friends of White wc doubt not
have discernment enough to sec that if the pre
sent delegation in Congress are all re-eecied,
even with their help, it will be proclaimed and
shouted forth to the world as a triumph of Van
Buren in Georgia, and that too by the Federal
Union itself. If every Union Anti-Van Buren
man in the State votes the Van Buren ticket
for Congress, will they be allowed any credit
for it! no! Every Van Buren paper in Geor
gia will proclaim tiiat lie has triumphed over
combinations and coalitions of Nullifiers and
“ White whigs,” and every effort will be made
to create the impression that lie is stronger in
Georgia than every description ufjopposition to
him. We say then to the opponents of Van
Buren, sec that you give no vote which can bo
made use of to aid in his election.
THE LATE ELECTIONS.
Kentucky, North Carolina and Indiana, have
gone in the most decisive manner against Van
Buren ; Illinois and Missouri have gone for
him, and Alabama is claimed by both parties in
the State; but our opinion, from all the infor
mation taken together, is, that she has decided
for White in her legislative elections and will
decide more strongly for him in the electoral
election. Every one of these States, except
Kentucky, voted for Gen. Jackson in 1832, and
it is now doubtful if Van Buren gets any of
them but Illinois. Every where, Van Buren is
weaker than the friends who run under his flag
and hence many men running for offices in the
different States as Van Buren men, are to a
great extent sustained by a popularity of their
own, acquired as Jackson men, which they can
never transfer to a man who, like Van Buren,
has no positive popularity or claims upon the
people of his own.
V’ e are perfectly content that the Courier
and its correspondents shall have to themselves
the whole field of angry discussion on the com
promise, which seems so much to have discom
posed their equanimity of temper. The Couri
er continues to charge intrigue upon our party,
but after so many repeated calls for proof and
so many repeated failures to produce it, we
suspect that a sensible and discerning commu
nity will neither give much credit to the charge,
nor partake much of the morbid sensibility and
unnecessary violence which that paper has
exhibited of late.
Perfectly content too, shall we bo with any
arrangement which our political friends see
proper to make, satisfied that they will submit
to nothing incompatible with the honor of our
party, nor make any requisitions upon our ad
versaries derogatory to theirs. What dishonor
or what injury can attach to either party by
agreeing for a season to lay aside the violence
and acrimony of political contention and bend
ing their united energies to the accomplishment
of objects of vital importance to the citizens of
both, we cannot possibly discern. But we are
neither the advocate nor opponent of the pro
posed arrangement; unentitled as we are for
want of residence, to vote at all for members
of the Legislature in Richmond, we shall yield
a willing acquiescence to whatever may be
done by those whose constitutional privileges
place them upon a different ground.
We had thought however upon reading
“Richmond” in the Courier, and “Baldwin” in
the Constitutionalist, to have said something to
both; but inasmuch as Gen. Glascock has not
made a response to the thrilling and heart ren
ding appeal of the former, vve presume that the
dying agonies under which he seemed to have
druAed his production have reached their final
consummation, and that he is now beyond the
reach of consolation ; and inasmuch as Col.
Howard has withdrawn and the State Rights’
party will all support Gen. Glascock, the argu
ment which the latter writer thought he had
found against the compromise, in his allitera
tion of our remarks to our party on the propri
ety of voting their entire ticket, has fallen to
the ground, any reply to him becomes unneces
sary. We could easily demonstrate that the
cases were not analogous; and that they are not
now, needs no demonstration.
From tiie Southern Recorder.
Bunker Hill, August 29, 1836.
To iilic I’eoyle of Georgia,
And especially to the Stale Rights Party.
Unalterably fixed in the opinion, that the
best interests of the people of the whole Union
depend upon the triumph and general recogni- I
tion of State Rights principles, I conceive it
my duty to do every thing in my power to pro
mote, at all times, the success of the State
Rights Ticket.
In these times, as in all others, it is safer to
rely rather upon the action than the professions
of public men. Gen. Glascock’s conduct
during the last session of Congress, upon the
Abolition question, was so perfectly satisfacto
ry to the State Rights party, that many of our
friends, influenced by the integrity of their
principles, manifest an ardent desire to give
him iheir support. This is nothing less than
would be expected from those whose devotion
is more to principles than to men ; and although
it is improper for any State Rights man to in
dulge these generous feelings while he has a
full ticket of hio own pauy oeiore mm, tor the
substantial reason, that it would be an act of
great neglect, and indeed injustice, to his politi
cal friends, as their action upon that sobject,
as well as upon all others, would have been
equally satisfactory, had an opportunity been
afforded them; yet many, nevertheless will
make room upon our ticket for the man who
has burst the shackles of pariy interest, and
coine out upon his country’s side. Therefore,
that the general ticket may not be affected by
the vote given to Gen. Glascock, I withdraw
my name : for if a vacancy should not be cre
ated upon ourttekef, the whole would have to
divide the loss. Candor requires us to ac
knowledge that we have do votes to spare, and
the t.uth can never do injury to a virtuous
cause. I should have done this act earlier, had
I been in a situation to learn more of public
opinion.
Influenced alone by what I believe to be best
calculated to advance iny country’s interest, I
do hope my motives will not be harshly con
sidered or hastily condemned by my political
friends, and that they will examine the subject
well before they censure the act: but to the
good sense of the party, I yield with perfect
submission. It is, I repeat, to give the most
effectual and undivided vote to our party, and
secure the election of the balance of its repre
sentatives, that I withdraw. It is to advance
the force and power of our everlasting truths,
that I withdraw ; and it is, lastly, to call upon
the people to look at who tney arc supporting,
and lor what they are supporting them, that I
have withdrawn.
Very respectfully,
JOHN H. HOWARD.
FOR TIIE SENTINEL.
To Mr. Boh Short :
In looking over your paper?, if you ever see
any thing that Gen. Coffee ever done in Con
gress, please inform me, as I want his friends to
be able to give a reason for the hope they have
tor him. LO WNDES.
FOR THE SENTINEL.
Mr. Edi tor —I second the motion of “ A
C.tizen,” whose rcmaiks are to be toundin jour
paper of the 19th inst. headed “Our Homes.”
I have myself, both spoken and written on llie
same subject, repeatedly, and have met with no
one to second me, (till now,) that fully enters
into my views. The citizens of Augusta will
not, I fear, open their eyes to the alarming ten
dencies of tlie matters adverted to by “ A Cit
izen.” The evils pointed out, certainly exist to
an alarming extent—and the picture he draws
is true to life, and might be made much strong
er, without resort to fiction.
I have myself witnessed many acts of impu
dence and presumption, on the part of our
slaves. 1 have seen negroes leap up behind
carriages, (particularly when the hind curtain
was down,) and have had occasion to whip
them from my own. I have seen well dressed
negroes, riding their masters carriage horses,
on Sunday afternoons, all in a foam of sweat,
prancing and fretting under the spur and whip
of a more than half drunk rider. I have seen
these rascals drive the families of their masters
to church, and so soon as they were set down,
withdraw to a little distance and take up a half
dozen of negro men and wenches, and dash
them about the town, until towards the eve of
the service, and then take their station before
the door of the church, with much pretended
gravity and decorum. I have known some of
them, after driving the carriage home, to run
the horses more than half speed to the carriage
house, where (as is often the case) the carriage
house is on the back street. I have seen our
streets, (particularly the streets of our Summer
ville establishments,) so .crowded with fine
dressed negro men and women—some on foot,
some on fine horses, some in gigs, some in ba
rouches, and some in coaches, on an airing
from the town to the country, on Sunday after
noons, that our white ladies were afraid to put
their teet out of their enclosures, even to visit a
sick neighbor, &c.
These things should not be tolerated. If
there is not a check put to them, the time is
not remote when the horrors of St. Domingo
will be acted over again, without the aid of tiie
Northern fanatics.
I join “A Citizen,” in calling upon the citi
zens of Augusta, and the authorities of the
place, to look to this matter before it is too late.
No slave should be allowed to dress as fine as
his master--to “ strut as high, and stamp as loud
as lie." The ladies should not suffer their
maids in waiting to vie with them, in finery and
fashion—for be assured, that in the same pro
portion that you raise your servants up, you let
yourselves down to their level.

~ PROSPECTUS.
AT the late meeting of the Alumni of Franklin
College, it was unanimously resolved to be ex
pedient to make arrangements to issue a monthly Lit
erary magazine, to be called
The Athenian.
The undersigned were appointed by the Society a
committee of publicaiion and joint Editors ol the
work, until the next meeting of the Society. We
have no interest in the work, except that which vve
take in the welfare of the country and the honor of the
State. We, of the South, have too long depended
upon foreign parts for our Literature, ami neglected
our own talents. We shall be weak so long as we
think we are weak ; and dependant until vve make
efforts to be independent. We hope all the frirnds of
Literature in the State, and especially the Alumni of
Franklin college, will patronize the enterprise both
by word and deed. State pride, the love of Litera
ture, our interest in the cause of general education,
all call upon us to sustain an enterpriza so necessary
to our improvement, and the honor of tlie State.

contain sixty-four pages royal octavo. Nothing de
rogatory to religion, offensive to any denomination of
Christians, or of any political party, shall appear in
the Athenian. Its pages .hall be honestly devoted to
general Literature, the cause of Education, the Re
view of new works, and notices of improvements m
