The Grand Jury of the county of
Greene, at Man It t erm, 1830, on re
turning their presentment*, into Court,
takes notice of the bereavement, not only
of their county but the country, has sus
tained, m the demise of the lamented
Judge Cobh, in the following chaste and
impressive manner:—
“ We cannot permit the present
v< rj lit occasion to pass without ex
pressing our deep sense of the loss the
conn y tics sustained in the death of
f l ir mas VV. C’ liu, late Judge of the
{snp rior court of the Ocmulgee Cir
cuit. We have known him honorable
and distinguished as a lawyer whilst
at the Bar; as the Representative of
the People in the National Legislu
tore, eloquent, incorruptible and un
compromising; as Judge of the Supe
rior courts patient, able and ini par
ti I The re< ords of the county hoar
ample testimony to his real talent in
the public service, and the hearts of
those who knew him, will ever retain
the most lively impression of his pri
vate worth, lie is gone the way of all
fish—and it becomes us in humility
and sadness, to yield to the de
crees of an all*wise end overruling
Providence.*
This is not the language of adulation—
it is a just tribute to ‘he integrity, talent*
an I public character of the man. Yes,
“ ve ‘Hive kin wn him as the Representa
tive of die People in the National Legis
lature, eloquent, incorruptible and un
compromising ’ —the dauntless advocate
of doctrines and principles—tho’ then
biandedwilh the epithet of Radicalism,
a*, a by word and term of reproach—have
recently, in the Senate of the IT. States,
been f arlessly asserted and triumphantly
vindicated. Yes, in the darkest day of
coalition ascendency, when our Governor
was denounced as a Traitor and Georgia
Hus to b” humbled to dust ami shes, his
uiauly ;md determined spiiit cowered not
—he sto"il so th the champion of what it
■is becoming quite fashionable to call the
“ S utii Caiohna doctrines. ’’ We too,
intend no fulsome panegyric—can flat
tery sooth the dull cold car of death?’’—
bu> white our hopes, for the triumph of
correct principles are elated, and our
feelings for the honor of the South are
giatili and t< the fullest exenf. hy the ge
neial course of the debate in tho Senate
on Mr. Foot’s resolution, our fervent
orisons are that llavne and his able coad
jutors may terminate their career of pub

proach, for inconsistency, intrigue arid
ambition, as did the lamented Cobb.

that we understand the medal adverted to,
is the first ofa series, to include all the
Presidents. We are also informed that
they will all be of like size; with the por
trait on the obverse, and a snort biography
on the reverse. Should sufficient patron
age be afforded, it is the intention of .Mr.
VV. to commence another series beginning
at the revolution, and bringing tliem down
to the present day. The materials will be
silver, copper brorze and white metal, at
various prices, according to the materials
of which they are composed. We hope
the artist will succeed, both because we
desire to see talent in any profession re
waided, and beoauie he will be employed
in perpetuating in a beautiful and classic
al form, the men and events of which we
have reasons as Americans to be proud.—
As presents and decorations, we know of
nothing more elegant and appropriate.

The New Court House.
We have been favored with the fol
lowing extract of a letter from our
Senator George M. Troup, upon this
subject, from which it will be seen that
5000 dollars will be devoted by the
General Government to that necessa
ry work:
Washington, 17th March.—The
Judiciary Committee having reported
against the appropriation. Judge
Johnson and myself waited on the
Secretary and obtained an allowance
from the contingent fuiid of 5000 dol
lars, to he applied in aid of your own
for the accommodation of the U. S.
District Court. Five thousand dol
lars is the most which can be obtained,
one half of which only can be spared
for the present year, of which the
Judge will have the direction. —lb
sailing on land.
A sail was set on a car on our Rail Road
yesterday afternoon, in the presence of a|
large concourse of spectators. Fifteen
gfintlemen got on board, and flew offatthe
rate of 12 to 14 miles an hour. Thirteen
persons, and three tons of iron, were car
ried about 10 miles an hour. The pre
paration? lor sailing were very hastily got
up, and of course were not of the best
kmd, but owing to this circumstance, the
experiment afforded high sport. The
wind blew very fresh from about North
Ea t, w hicli, as a sailor would say ‘abeam’
1 and would drive the car either way, with
equal ?peed—When going at the rate of
about 12 miles an hour, and loaded with
fifteen pasaengprs. the mast went by the
beatd, with the sail and rigging attached,
carrying with them several of the crew!
The wreck was descried by several
friendly ship masters, who kindly render
ed assistance in riggieg a jurymast, and
1 the car was snoo again put under way.
| During the afternoon, the xvind changed so
; as to bring it nearly ahead, when going in
; one direction but this did not stop the
| sport, as it was ascertained the car would
sail within four points of the wind.
We understand it is intended bv some
0 our seamen to rig a car properly, and
shortly to exhibit thei skill in m anaging

MR. CHILTON.
An early acquaintance with, and a
high respect tor, tho aged and piou*
parents ot Mr. Chilton have ‘heretofore*
prevented us from noticing in any
manner, the tetters which this g*|.
ilcinati has addressed, to the public
through the National Intelligencer*
! We have seen, with bur little surprise,
we admit, thus*- Editors wh-. have
heretofore used his name as a bye
word and a reproach, lauding him s
a “disinterested patriot,” ! highly
respectable minister of the Gnsp 1, ? *
and among the rest, the Editor of die
National Gazette bedaubing him witß
praise, because be has had the firm
\ncss to declare himself the advo , > of
Mr. Clay.
Our object is not now to pursue Mr;.
Chilton through his inconsistencies-..
It is to state the fact wJiich illucolate
his past and present condition. Her
is the son of one of the most eloquent
preachers in Kentucky, a,.d, pos
sessing ardent and enthusiastic feel
ing, he entered the pulpit at an early
age. He afterwards left the pulpit
tor the bar. During the lab political
excitement he threw himself upon the
Jackson party, and although opposed
by some of its most influential mem
bers, was returned to Congress Here
lie soon fell into vices which reduced
him to the necessity of applying to the
Bank ot the United states for relief*
That institution, feeling a deep (#_,
pathy tor the misfortune of ofi
Congress , and ever upon the aipri to ,
prepare them for a coming, event*,
could not resist his entreaties. Mr.
Chilton was accommodated. Making-,
pi “fission of repentance and
reform, he returned to K otm ky a,
ntw mao—was reelected to Congress
