NE W OR LE A NS, February 5. Duel noth Bowie-Knives —A horrid transaction ofthisdescription took place at the town of Frank lin, in this State, some time last wetdi. We have received no papers, and give the following facts as they have been detailed to us. Mr. -S. Uel a toussaye, the gentleman killed, was clerk on board the steamboat Ualenean, engaged in the Aft aka pas trade. On stopping at Plaquemine, a gentleman hy the name of Saunders came on board, and requested a bed. lie was told bv the clerk, Mr. i)., that there were none vacant which he could have. Mr. S's reply was, "ifa French man were to ask one of you, you could find it very quick ” Upon this hard words arose, which ended in a scuffle, wherein Mr. D. was worsted, being struck severely with a cane or bludgeon. Consequent upon this, was a challenge from Mr. D-, which was accepted, and the parties fought teitk bowie-knives. Mr. D. was killed, having received about eight inches of his antagonist's weapon in tiie abdomen. Both were respectable men. Delahoussaye was much esteemed and generally known in this city. He was formerly cashier of the Branch Bank ol Hamilton, at Lay layette. He has left a beautiful wife, and we b lieve one child. On Tuesday evening last, at about 2 o’clock, an other daring attempt was made to 6et fire to the warehouses in this city. The ware-house of Mr. 'A m. P. Rowland was fivst discovered to be on fire- The fire was placed, by the incendiary, be tw’een the wall and ceiling of the counting room. The material used te communicate the fire was of an extremely combustible nature, and but for the timely discovery, must have ended in the entire destruction of the ware-house. This fire hail scarcely been put out, ere tue alarm was given ill another quarter of the town, in the ware-house of Messrs. Hardeman, Graybiil <A Cos, It was here communicated to the cotton, as in a former instance, but discovered in time to prevent any material loss. AVo learn also that there were marks discovered of an attempt to set on fire<7»- othcr ware-house, on the same evening, which seems to have been extinguished ofitself. Much excitement was the consequence of these attempts, mid the result will, n o doubt be, nn iperensed vig ilance, which seems indeed, now to have become neccssavy to our preservafion from the devouring h co t. - - -JYta con Stfuthcrn Tost.

And we regret, (as much as wc ate opposed to them,) that the bur then of this si,: m ist r •' . t use who sup port the present Chief Magistrate To prove this it will b ■ only ueccssa; instance but one case, to show how lost they were to every thing, s th own party aggrandizement, and the hi ding away ol the cloven foot of ishonestv which had so openly made its appearance iu their ranks. The case to which we allude, is, the appoint ment oi a Committee to examine into the Defal cation of that great Treasury Robber, Samuel Sivartwout, who had, almost under the eye of the past and present Administrations, pocketed up wards of one r illion of dollars of the Govern ment funds, and then absconded 'o England. It was desired, on the part of those who had witness ed the corrupt, vassallating and partial conduct of the Speaker of the House iti the appointment of Committees on former occasions, to have this Committee appointed by the House itself. No sooner was this proposition made than many of the true and faithful menials, who delight to how and kiss the footstool of power, and who seem to know no other duty than to obey their master's bidding, cried long and lond against tiie measure. They anxiously desired that the Committee should be appointed by the Speaker, because it w as absolutely necessary tint the majority of that Committee should be taken from their ranks, that the mismanagement, dishonesty and corruption of the Administration might be hid from the light, and the future popularity of their Chief, if possj sible secured. Yes, they wished such a commit tee tppointed—a committee, composed of men, who had no other object in view than the sustain ing of a political party, that has, ever since it has been in power, trampled our sacred Constitution underfoot, violated every princip of honesty, and by its corrupt management, bankrupt the Treasury, and almost, if not entirely, degraded and disgraced the country. And for this appoiut- Wmt they labored faithfully day and night, con- Tin: GEORGIA JUIIIftO-K. i suoiing their time, unnecessarily aud unprofitably, if not to them, at least to the people. NVe rejoice, however, that there was honesty and virtue enough in the House to defeat their desigus, and the appointment by the House was carried, and duly made. No sooucp was the de cision made, than au edict was issued from the throne of [lower, asserting that those of the Ad ministration who should be electe upou that Committee and consented to serve, would he de nounced as traitors to the party \ aud hgw well they obeyed the mandate, aud with what difficulty the House met with in tiie appointment of a Commit tee. we have heretofore taken occasion to notice. i he appointment of this Committee, then, is the only act of much importance, that they have done since the first .Monday iu December, and the result of their labors is the only benefit that is likely to accrue to the country from their deliber ations, if they have had sufficient time, after the delay which had been thrown in the way, oflook ing into the deu of corruption and robbery.— They have of course, ere this, made their report to Congress. We look for it with anxiety, aud hope it will not present such a revolting picture as our fears predict, and the conduct of the friends of the Administration w ould warrant us in sup posing. We do earnestly hope that our country lias not been disgraced by our ri. ulers ; but if it has, and the w orst must come, the sootier the bet ter, that the people may apply the corrective at once, before we become su degraded, that, in stead of being the boast aud pride of the world, we shall be ashamed of our owu reflection, be a laughing -tuck of other uatious, and a tit subject at which the finger of scorn and contempt may with propriety, he [minted. We do hope to seeiiie day when matters will be more advantageou ly conducted : when our Rulers -re virtuous, and oar Congress more hon orable aud honest —when there will he bo fears, on the part ot those who govern, to navp the bu reaus of every department of Govt fn nenr, thrown open for lawful investigation—then w ill the coun try be benefitted, and the people remunerated for the per diem allowance of those who represent them in the Congress of the United States.

MISS PITTS’" ADDRESS, On presenting the Georgia Guards, with a s'epnd of Colors. Gentlemen and Soileiers: The time lias just parsed when the hostile sav age, with a cruelty peculiar to their mode of war fare, marked their path through our country with blood. In that hour which tried men’s souls, un accustomed as you were to the battle strife, your patriotism and valor, pursued the enemy laden with spoil, into the fastnesses of his retreat, and his loud and deepening yell but nerved your ami for a deadler blow, determined “to do or die.” Many of your brave comrades fell hy your side, yet your courage and self command did not forsake vou— the enetny has beet) driven to the far west and we are permitted to return to our homes in peace and safety. The maxim, “in peace prepare for war,” has always been considered a good one, and believing the formation of Volunteer Com panies calculated to stimulate to rhe knowledge and exercise of military discipline, so necessary to the soldier in the hour of battle, I am glad to see your company make sach a promising ap pearance, and favor our infant city with a visit. Our sex, tho’ feeble, are not ungrateful sos the protection they receive ; they have often wove the garland that decked rhe triumphant warriors brow and prepared the flag that waved proudly over his lofty plume. Accept from a feeble hand tho Standard of your Country, and believe me when I say that I iiave no fear of it? being disgraced or tarnished by your possession. Should you ever he called to carry it into rhe field of battle, may yoti always be able to bring it out waving in triumph over your heads. “Ts e star spangled han»er, oh. long may it wave, O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave." CAPT. GAULDINff’S REPLY, Respected Mis 9: With the most delightful and glowing emotions have we received from your fair hand, this beau tiful banner; and your elegant and inspiring ad dress, alluding to the services we may have ren dered in the late Creek war. has excited within ns, feelings too deep for utterance, True, it is, that the savage contest has but late ly ended and the ashes of the ruins of a neigh boring village have yet scarcely grown cold, or the smoke of its ruins ceased to ascend, or the footsteps of the Indian hut recently erased from our soil—and if we pursued them to their fast nesses and drove them from our botders, it was but a bare performance of our duty, and if any peculiar meed of praise is due to any one, it is to our mutual friend, Maj. Jernigan, and his com panions, the Stewart Rangers, many of whom I ain proud to acknowledge as members of the Georgia Guards. The maxim, to which yon have so beautifully alluded, “ in peace prepare for war,” has been a dopted by our company, and we discipline our selves in the aits of war, that we may be efficient and effective, should the country need our servi ces. True soldiers can never be insensible to female influence, and if there is any one thing which can, above the love of country, influence them to deeds of chivalry and self-sacrifice, for the pub lic weal, it is the prospect of receiviug garlands ; woven by a lady’s hand. Iu tiie donation of this tasty aud elegaut fla to our Volunteer Corps, we trace the spirit wliieli pervaded tile bosom of our revolutionary matrons, inthe hour of the most imminent danger and peril. ner\mg the arm aud inspiring the courage ot their soldiers, by the eloquence ot their sang air.l all the persuasiveness of their natures. We feel that you have conferred upon us the highest pos sible euconiitim, by presenting us with our coun try’s banner—to none would you have presented it but those you believed would protect it or per ish by its side, aud we pledge ourselves never to prove vtiworthy the estimation in which you have been pleased to regard us. . -Should the gentle zjphvrs of peace aud pros [>erity stiK contiue to regale our happy laud, these colors shall be our pride aud oroameut; and should the storm of war arise, they shall be unfurled in Iront of the enemy's rauks, uever to be inglorious -5y struck or deserted, while a Georgia Guard sur vives to weild a sword iu their defence. Accept, fair lady, fruit) myself aud my compa ny, our best wishes for your pv.ice aud prosperity.

Washinuto.n, Feb. 10, 183 G. I understand that Mr. Van Bureu purposes, during the ensuing spring and summer, to make agracd tour through the Southern and South western States, the ostensible object cf which is, to visit hi« son’s wife’s father in South Carolina, and his illusrrious predecessor at the Hermitage. He will set out iu April, and travel slowly through Virginia, North-Carolina, to Augusta thence up through Tennessee, &c. home. It is expected that his Georgia friends here, w ill so arrange the President’s journey, that lie will accidentally hop pen. to reach Milleilgeville, about the time of the great Convention, which is to meet at tiiat place in May. There is another little airangement that mnv be promoted by this tour. It is now perfectly un derstood, that the lion. E. M. Johnson is to ite banded out of the V ice President's chair a s ceremenie, and although the nomination of Iri successor, by the Loco Focos. will be th-Might but an empty compliment, as defei tis inevitah'e, yet in certain quarters there is an anxiety that Mr. Forsyth should be designated. Something therefore may, and probably will he done, “in the course of events,” on this subject. Fu !i aro the hints that my Asmodeus gives me, and he is i-eldom wrong Recipe to make a Tattler. —Take, of the vine called Ran-about, and the root called Nimhle tongue, each six handsful, fifteen ounces of Am bition, and ihe same quantity of Nonsense, bruise them well together in tho mortar of Misapore hension, then boil them over the fire of Evil Sur mises till you perceive the. scum of Falsehood rising on the top ; strain it through the cloth of Misconstruction, put it inthe bottle of Malignity, and stop it with the cork of Entfy; suck it thro’ the quill of Malevolence, and you will be qualified to speak evil without respect to persons or char acter.

Upon an ox axiiii.iliou of tne books we find a balance remain ing iu las bands of that has nut been paid o\er to the county i teasuier. lr relation to this l -»t mentioned officer, tne coi.u.y Treasuiei, ue regret to say, that we can .ot speak of him in so ti utei iug a manner. The boos? are iu ban order. \V'e find that officer charged with lruvii g received the sum of 2366 6'4-lOu from t ebrnaiy ’ieiui, 1838, up to the present Term, and h .ving dis bursed the sum of 32130 37-IUO, ieiui g a bal ance ou hand, due by the Treasurer, oi &236, 27-100. There is also small notes iu tl; -Lands ol this officer, belonging to tiie county, lor tiie amount of ->72 principal, whuli lrave been due and unpaid for nearly seveu years. We bug leave to call the attention of our Inferior Court to thissubject, aud recommend that some steps be by them taken to enforce tiie collection. Having disposed of the foregoing subjects, the condition of our public highways we consider a matter of serious complain. Lu sp, aking of those engaged in the improvement of the same, all are subjects worthy of censure. We are led to believe tiiat tiie Court, whose duty it is to ap point coinnussioucrs, and to see they discharge the duties incident to their appointment, the com missioners ol the several district and the seers, haVfe all failed iff the discharge the ob ligation they owe the public'in tue various station* -hat liave been assigned, and for the truth of what we here take occasion to sny ou this subject, we refer to the almost impassible state of our roads and bridges iu every section ol our county. We regret that the laws regulating this subject, are wholly inefficient, ami fail to subserve tire pur poses for which ihey were intended. We think that it will be wholly impossible to ket p good roads until there is some legislation on this sub ject. We are, however, in hopes that lor the future public spirit will actuate eaclt officer, to whom this subject is comm, ted, to discharge t e:r duties iu betterfuitli rhun th ;y have hereto!! lore. Our public buildings we consider a subject wof thv ol our most serious consideration. Ourcouu ly .In i is now in such a condition that it is nolon g-r considered safe for the purposes lor which it was intended, and that we are now compelled cil'r'r to keep our prisoners at a emit expense, oc apply to ourmust provident neighbors, to lend us t.;e use of theirs, so as to keep them, and bring the violators of the law to justice. This is not ns i: should be. We therefore take the liberty of calling the attention of our Inferior Court to that subject, und although we learn lhat our means are limited, we would recommend that taxation, •1 necessary, should be resorted to, to accomplish this purpose. The condition of our Court House has forced itsel! upon us, a building that has just been completed, that we h ve not been iu the occupancy of for the space of two years, from neglect and other causes, is now iu a state of dil apidation, - and will soon, if there is not some change in relations to the same, go into ruin.— l'his, from tlie best information tli 4we li ,ve been enabled to get, may be attributable to the unwiso ami imprudent policy of the Inferior Court in preventing the purpose in a degree for which it was built. That instead of appropriating tho rooms to the several officers for whose use thev were alone constructed, and for whose purpose they alone could have been intended, they have been rented out to persons not known as [luldio officers, and by them appropriated to such uses and purposes as the occupant may deetn fit ►Such a course as this we deem is not sanctioned by law or public policy, arid whislt those who aro advocates of this course justify it by the pitifn sum that it may throw in our county Treasury, they, it seems to us, are unmindful of the injury that the edifice sustains, and (lie manifest injustice dene to our public officers to whom tiie u?e of those rooms properly and legitimately belongs. We therefore respectfully recommend to the ln terior Court to have all the necessary repairs made to place the building in the hands of the publio officers, aud hold them severally responsible for its future condition. Tbe spring Term of our Superior Court being held at this season of ttu> year, when the effects of w inter are so scriottsty felt, for the convenience and comfort of Coutv that its business may be facilitated, we would re commend our Inferior Court to procure two suita ble stoves, and have them so constructed as tl.dfc they may be used in winter and removed in sonj»- meu- In taking leave of his Honor, Judce Wellhorft* we take great pleasure in tendering hirer our high est respects for his able and faithful discharge elf his arduous duty that has been imposed upon btot during the present Term of this Court.
