: ARREST THE MURDERER! j
It becomes our duty for the first |
time to record a murder of an ag- j
jjjravated nature. On Monday the
12tli inst. a dispute ai ;se between
Charles Wilson* of this town, and John
Morris, living in l’ittsylnania county!
Ya. After some abusive language had j
passed between them, Morris retreat
ed to a neighboring house, whither
Wilson pursued him, and on his way
picked up a stone weighing i'rom 4 to 6
pounds, and on coming up with Morris j
sitting in a chair leaning against. the!
house, hurled the stone at him, which
struck Morris on the head, of which
wound he lingered until Thursday
morning last, and died. Every med
ical assistance was in vain. Wilson
has made his escape; and though
exertions have been made to arrest
him, he still eludes the oflLers of jus
tice. lie is about five feet eight
inches high, thick set, dark hair and
rather dark complexion. He is very
reinaißuble for having had his back
broken, when young, and its forming
projection so large that no dress can
concea 1 it. He is intelligent, speaks!
with some fluency and appears to be
about 40 years of age. —Milton Gnz.
ROBBERY AND ABDUCTION.
It wijl ba recollected by our readers,
{says the new England Palladium,'] that
in December last we publisned a notice
requesting information of Mr. Isaac Wv
man. a respectable drover of Vermont,
who had mysteriously disappeared from
Boston, and as supposed to have been
murdered and robbed of his rnonney, of
Which he wa3 known to have had a con
siderabie sum. Nothing was ever heard
respecting him till Friday last, when he
appeared in Chelsea, Vermont, being on
his way to his residence, in that neighbor
hood. The editor of the Chelsea Advo
cate gathered from him the following
facts, relative to his sudden disappear
ance;
Tie 9ays, that having disposed of his
drove, he went from (Jharlestowm to Bos
ton. with intention of taking the stage
to Concord the iVrowing morning: that j
in the evening he went i i4 to a victualling
cellar, and bi-lore he left, two m®** j
and enquired if he was going to Vermont.
Upon ins answering in the affirmative,
they said f hey were also from Vermont,
and proposed that they should return in
company, to which he assented. One of
them then asked him if he hail seen a
large fish upon the wharf; and upon his
replying that he had not,added that it was
a curiosity, and proposed that he, should
go with them and view it, Accordingly
they starlid {or the wharf. On their ar
rival at the wharf, he was kno ked down,
gagged, placed in a boat, and rowed oft".
How long he remained insensible, he can
not say; but upon his recovery, he found
they iiad landed upon a small island.—
Here he in disenging one of
his hands, and upon searching for his mo
ney found it was gone. One of them
then presented a pistol to his breast, and
threatened him with death if he attempt
ed any resistance. lie was again placed
in the boat and rowed oft; but how far.
or in what direction, he was unable to
state and was put on board a brig, hav
ing acrew of ten persons, four of whom
were negroes, l'hey soon after set sail
In consequence of the treatment he had
received, he was for some time confined
to his *.rth, and could not ascertain the
course they were pursuing. Towards the
last of January, he was in the night land
ed near New-Orleans, to which place he
immediately proceeded. Here, friendless
and destitute, he went to work and earn
ed money enough, with the assistance
he received upon the way, to get as
far as Troy, New-York and to this
place.

PROPOSALS
For publishing in Millcdgeville*',Georgia.}
A Iteligioiu I } aper y
TO DG ENTITLED
THE CHRISTIAN PIONEER.
f H'MIE paper for which public patronage
JL now solicited, is mainly designed
to advocate the principles and doctrines of
the Christian Church.
To those who have experienced the
difficulty of promulgating a defence of
unpopular tenets through the generality of
political and miscellaneous Journals, the
necessity for such publication is sufficient
ly obvious.
How shall prejudices, accumulating, in
consequence of denunciations issuid from
the pulpits of opposing denominations ever
be removed, which the Press is closed
against us? We lament that such is the
fact, but we have bitterly felt, that the
boasted liberty of the Press exists in name
alone, and are, in consequence, reluct
antly driven to a separate establishment,
tup the purpose ol defending our opinions
and ourselves from obloquy, and disemin
ating those bright and consoling truths,
which after careful examination appear to
us, dictated by the sacred scriptures.
Vre indulge no unfriendly feelings a
gainst our fellowmen ot other denomina
tions; neither shall we ever assail the
opinions of others, except so far as it may
become necessary, in defending our ovrn.
We assume not to be ‘Lords over God*s
heritage,’nor do we desire to ‘ have do
minion over the faith’ of any.
On the contrary, a fundamental princi
ple! of our denomination,* and that lor
which we prize it most dearly, is, that no
restraint shall ever be imposed upon the
right of private judgement,* that every
man shall be at full liberty to interpret tne
scriptures for himself, ameanable to no
other tribunal for the correctness of .his
faith, than to Ood and his own conscience.
We claim but ‘one master, and that is
Christ.’ We admit no human, authority
in matters of faith. Conceiving religion
to be beyond his jurisdiction, we shall op
pose with our utmost efforts, all attempt*,
however specious, to induce the interfer
ence of the civil magistrate. We are not
unaware, that Satan often assumes agaib
of an angel of light-
We bow to the decision of no synod,
council or conference. Regarding them
ii>v /Li cite fruuioc of discord in the pres
ent, and of those cruel atrocities winch
have disgraced the church, in past ages,
we spurn, with indignation, ill creed :f
human invention. ‘J he Bible \ the Bible
only’ shall be our rule of fa th la t, we
think are clearly slated the doctrines of
the simple unity of god and the unrival
led sutwemacy of the fati(er — Jhe
benignity and paternal diameter of Led,
his impartial love, and unpurchased mer
cy, strangely overlooked in much popular
preaching, will be streuuoudy supported;
To our view, the face of Chnstiauily
has been deformed, by a multitude of
human additions. We would exert the
little strength which God has given us
to restore its primitive form.
In fine, it will bq our object to urge. the
importance of that religion, which is not
dissipated in piofession, but manifests its
influence over every thought, and woid,
and action; which consists in reverqnce
for God, benevolence for man, and a
faithful discharge of every known duty.
We would exert ourselves to restore
the standard proposed by our Saviour, of
judging by the fruit, and would prefer’that
his disciples should manifest their attach
ment to him, by keeping his commands,
rather than by pertinacious adherence to
a creed. With St. James we desire to
see faith exhibited by works.
A portion not exceeding twp columns,
will be devoted to the use ol any who may
choose to assail our opinions, or enter on
any other theological discussion, provid-.
ed it be done in a becoming mpnner.
Conditions. —The Christian : Pio
neer will be published semi monthly a
a midium sheet, under the editorial direc
tion of Elder Willis B. Nall, aided by
an association of gentlemen at $1 50 in
advance or &2 paid at the end ol the year.

will be given.
