“The Vice Presidency. — lt has been said that
•Colonel Richard M. Johnson trill retire from the
*. .nivass. if i, should be the wish of his Republi

capable for such a generous effort: lor we have
s trong evidences to satisfy us of his disinterested

in America could have displayed higher feelings
than it has been our good fortune to witness in
the case of Col. Johnson. We have two letters
of his, w ritten three years ago, which we value a

OURSELVES
With the present No. closes the first volume of
the Georgia Mirror; and in our short editorial
career we feel that we have sustained, to the best
of our ability, tlu true Republican principles of
the country—principles, upon the perpetuity and
maintainancc of which, we believe, rests the future
happiness and welfare of that country. In our
support of these principles we have never faltered
or held back, through fear,favor or affection; but
when they have been attacked or placed in jeop
ardy, our feeble arm has always been stretched
out to do battle in their defence. Whence has
arisen our opposition to the present Administra
tion of the Federal Government, and the party
in this State that sustains that Administration and
its unprecedented corruptions. Believing, as we
do, that if the power attempted to be exercised
by it and sustained by its friends is not arrested,
our country will in a very short time, merge into
a despotism, the will of the President proclaimed
law, the Constitution torn to fragments and
thrown to the mercy of the winds, and he who
would dare to raise his voice in opposition to the
decrees of bis master would be pronounced a tra
itor, and undoubtedly, receive a traitor’s doom.
Against such a result we have conscienciouriv
contended, and shall continue so to do, as long as
we exist, a,d the freedom of speech and of the
press has an advocate beneath the sun. Conse
quently, the fundamental principles of what is
called the Union party can never receive any quar
ters at our hands, and as long as a standard is rais
ed around which the devotees of such principles
rally, our voice shall be heard calling the friends
of liberty and the Constitution to the rescue.
In relatioh to matters of this kind we can have
no middle ground, for, when it is openly proclaim
ed that the will o’* Uongiess and the President is
the paramount law ol the land, whether right or
wrong, constitutional or unconstitutional, every
patriot should present an open an undivided-front
in opposition to it. Indeed such a position is so
preposterous and outrageous, that its very con
templation is revolting in the extreme, and how
any man who claims to have any of the pure blood
of Republicanism coursing through his veins,
ean, conscientiously, hold doctrine like this, is
entirely beyond our conception.
For the rights of the States respectively, we
contend, and those who do not battle in our ranks
may expect to hear out bullets whistling through
their lines, and if any should prove fatal to them
or thei 4 cause, they must recollect that we are bat
tling for our conntTy’s rights and the liberties of
the people.
Holding these principles, wc presnine it hardly
necessary for us to make known our future course,
especially in relation to the next Presidency, but,
lest we have not been sufficiently plain to be un
derstood, we intend to make it so in a very few
words. Some are of opinion, that the State
Rightsparty of Georgia will support Henry Clay
for the Presidency---tliis we will not, cannot be
lieve, but be that as it may, we wish it distinctly
understood that he is no favorite of ours, and, as
we stated last summer, so we now repeat Hen
ry Clay cannot receive our support, not, at least
until he renounces the doctrines of the Procla
mation am! Force Bill, and fairly comes out in fa
vor of the rights and sovereignty of the States.
In our future course wc expect to move steadily
forward, swerving neither to the right nor left, and
it we should err in our course, our friends inav
rest assured, it will be of the head and not of tire
heart.
COL. HENRY G. LAMAR.
We regret to perceive, fiom the following note,
addressed to the Editor of the Georgia Journal,
that this distinguished and patriotic j*eutlemau is
desirous that his name should not be placed be
fore tiie Convention as one of the nominees for
Governor.
We regret it, because we believe he could unite
the entire strength of the whole party more suc
cessfully than any other man in the State ; and
because be has shewn, hithert©, so much disinter
ested patriotism, in not urging nor suffering his
friends to urge his claims before the people.—
Such a man, as Col. Lar ar has ever proved him
self, is well worthy the station to which his friends
desire to elevate him ; and we think, with due
defference to the Colonel, that he is doing vio
lence to the feelings of his friends, and an injury
to the State, in thus refusing to have his name
placed before the people.
From what we have heard, we think it is the ae
sire of a majority of the party in this section,
that he should be the candidate, and we be
lieve this feeling is prevalent throughout the
State. We hope, therefore, that he w ill reconsi
der this matter, and not suffer himself to do wrong
t*> gratify those “who are more solicitous to sac
rifice the repose of private life to the Requirement
of pu die honors,. ”
Macon, March 23d, 1839.
To the Editor of the Georgia Journal :
Dear Sir—Through the partiality of my friends
and the suggestions ofsome of the public Journals
(yours included,) my name has been presented as
one of the nominees to the Gubernatorial State
Right Convention to he held in May next. 1 have
given countenance to it, so far as to answer affirm
atively to some of my friends, wlien the enquiry
was made, whether or not 1 would accept thenoni
noation ifeonferred on me. A more mature con
sideration of the snbject, has effected a change of
feeling and determination. This communication
is made to apprise of the fact, those who may
have intended to bestow on me their support,
that their attention may be directed to others,
who are more solicitous to sacrifice the repose
of private life, to the acquirement of public hon
ors.
With high consideration and respect, your obe

From the Southern Recorder.
It will be seen with regret by our readers, that
the Darien Bank, at Savannah, has stopped pay
ment. And before we proceed another word, we
advise the holders of the hills, not to suffer them
selves to be shaved, on of this suspension
-—as we are hound to believe (the State being the
ownerjofmore than two thirdsofthe sti ck) that the
hills will be very shortly redeemed at the Bank.
We say this much without pretending to know
much about the management of the institution
simply on account of the interest of the State
in the Bank ; but we are likewise informed that its
assets are amply sufficient to insure against loss,
leaving the responsibility of the stockholders out
of view altogether. The bills are taken at the
Central Bank, and are we believe by law- received
hie for taxes. We therefore again advise the
holders to make no sacrifice on such as may be in
their hands.
The Georgian of the 25th ultimo, contains the
following notice;

Savannah, March 23,1839. £
The public are hereby informed, that circum
stances have compelled this institution to suspend
the payment in specie for the redemption of its
notes, and the earliest measures will be adopted
to enable it to resume, of which due notice will
be given. In the mean time holders of its notes
are advised not to make any sacrilic in dispos
ing of them. By order,

A letter from Savannah, dated 26fh uit., receive
in this city yesterday says—“Mr. Mitchell, the
President of the Mother Bank ir. Darien, is here

made to redeem the • ”
The Augusta Constitutionalist of the 28th tilt.,
says: “B'lls of the following Banks were not ta

posit or in payment— the Bank of Darien, and its
branches—-Bank of Hawkinsville—-Monroe Rail
road and Banking Company, and Bank of Romo.
The Notes of the Darien were selling at 25 per
cent., and the Bank of Rome at 50 per cent, dis
count.” In the same paper wc find the following
advertisement in relation to the Hawkinsville
Bank, by which it would seem that subsequently
arrangements had been made, to make tire bills
of that institution bankable in Augusta :
Hawkinsville Bank Notes.—The public
are hereby notified that the Notes of the Ranh of

in Augusta, both in payment and on deposit, and
will likewise be redeemed as usual at the counter

By the steamer Charleston, Capt. Hubbard,
our correspondent writes:—
Garey's Ferry, March 13, 1839.
My Dear Sir: —By advices received from the
South we have the mclancholly intelligence of
tiie death of Capt. Samuel L. Russell, of the 2d
Infantry; a gallant officer, God’s noblest work, an
honest man, and a sincere Christian : he deserved
aud enjoyed the esteem ami love of all who knew
him. lie was descending the Miami River on
the 28th ultimo, on his way to Fort Dallas, with
a part of his company in open boats—the savages,
in ambush on the river bank, waited until he ar
rived within gunshot, wheu the boats received a
volley from the Indians, who being oil an eminence
fired over them, and r>o one was injured. Capt.
R. immediately struck for the opposite shore, aud
on reaching it, leaped out on the ground, and run
ning round to address a few words to his men, w is
instantly fired at by several rifles, three of which
took effect, two in his body aud one just above
the temple, producing instantaneous death.—
Lieut Woodruff, Capt. R’s subaltern who was
some distance behind, heard the firing, and has
tening to the succor of his captain, engaged the
Indiana for nearly an hour, when he forced them
to retreat. He then collected his boats, aud hav
ing obtained possession of his captain’s body,
proceeded to Fort Dallas. The Indians were pur
sued. but as usual, their perfect knowledge ol the
country enabled them to escape. Capt Russell
was clad in the uudress uniform of the infantry
and it was to tins that vve probably attribute his
deatli as but one man of the company besides
himself was touched—The loss ©f the Indians
was not known, their number was much greater
tban has fought us together lor a lung while.
The remains of Capt. R. were interred with mil
itary honors on the Ist inst. By intelligence re
ceived from the interior, we learn that Maj. Nole’s
wound has proved nurtal, and tints are we com
pelled at the same time to mourn the loss of two
brave, aud efficient officers, and acknowledge that
”in the midst of life we are in death.
Yours truly.
Mere Indian Murders.---'We learn from Mon
tieello that uu Friday evening last the dwelling
of Edmond Gray, Esq. of Jefferson county, with
in nine miles of Monticeilo, was attacked by a
party of Indians, and that he, together with two
of his children were murdered, another child
severely wounded, his house burned to the gronnd
and his plantation plundered They made the
attack about an hour after dark, shot Mr- Gray
and one of his smallest children, while in the
house ; another was shot about thirty paces from
it while endeavoring to escape. A third .child
was knocked down with the butt end of u rifle, and
stabbed in several places very badly, and left by
the savages senseless as for dead in the yard. A
fourth child, comprising all his white family, be
ing about 12 years old; fortunately escaped by
flight in the dark, although pursued some dis
tance, and shot at several times. She was the
eldest of the children.
This horrible outrage has been committed 10
miles within the station of the frontier troops of
militia and regulars, and in the heart of a thick
settlement. The little girl who escaped, says
the yard and house were t'uil of Indians, and
they fired ofteu. The number ofthe party is sup
posed to have been about thirty. Several volun
teers on tiie receipt of the information were raised
in Monticeilo and its vicinity, and with Capt. Rov
ell’s company of Florida militia, went immedi
ately in pursuit of the savages, who fled to the O
cilla hammocks.— Floridian.
Col; Davenport in command West of the Su
wannee. has assigned the district West ofthe St.
Marks to Col. Green, who will fix his head quar
ters for the p-esent at St. Andrews Bay. The
Indians in that quarter have signified a wish to
come in if permitttted to emigrate by land. This
request has been granted. The last'accounts
from that quarter state that the runners last sent
out have been unable to find them. Three sev
eral trails were discovered, otic leading to wards
Lake Wimico—another to the Choctawhntchie
Bav, and the third in tho direction ofthe Apalach
icola river. The district West of the Suwannee
to the St. Marks is in command of Major Hoff
man, who is expected with the reinforcements re
cently jarrived to keep the settlements free from
further deprepations.
Col. Dnveti port has s'alioned a company of
command at the W-nculla, another at the natu
ral briilgo oti too St. Marks river, and the remain
derare employed m scouting the country.
We have heard nothing further frem Capt.
Hut ter and the Creeks. We presume they will
holdout till the leaves furnish them moiesecurity
in traversing the swatnps and hammochs when,
we fear we slnll hear of more depredations in the
west as well as the middle.

On the 27th tilt an inquest was held over the
body ol a man, found murdered near Edward
mill on the road leading from Tallahassee to Mod
ticello. The body had been slightly buried.—
The jury report the deceased to have been about
30 years of age, light complexion and sandy hair
was dressed in a frock coat and pantaloons ofgood
blue cloth, white flannel shirt, boots an I fur hat.
Two shirt?, a white vest, and a pair of black cor
ded pantaloons, were found buried with tho body.
One of the shifts was marked with a needle with
the initials of W. M. D.—A-breastpin and silver
pencil; and some bar tickets were likewise found.
The murder appeared to have been committed by
a severe blow on the temple, fracturing the. skull
and is supposed to have taken placejsoine four or
five weeks since.
On the 25th February, 350 Indians and negroes
left Tampa, in thetransj orts Aloliasche, and Mont

Wc stop the press to tell another tale of Indi
an fighting, blood and murder. We shall be
brief, for we aro sick at heart upon even an ap
proach to this snbject.
On Monday while Capt. Itowell’s company
were scouting, they fell in with an old negro
man, who told them he had just seen Indians, and
directed (ho soMicrrn here thßy might fitid them.
The scoutters charged on, aud soon came in
sight ol two Indians, who were quietly seated up
on the fence, and who beckoned the whites in a
trieudly manner to approach, which the latter did
tearlessly, and upon nearing the fence were fired
on by a large party ol Indians who were conceal
ed in the hammock, supposed to number from
sixty to seventy.
Two of Capt. R’s company were killed on the
spot, i.nd two badly wounded. One dead ludiau
was afterwards found on the ground.
The affair happened m Patterson Hammock, a
few miles cast ot the Ocilla.
Capt. Rowell and his men are said to have
fought bravely; but had Dot sufficient force to
couteud successfully with the foe. Star.
Correspondence of the Natchez Courier.
HOUSTON, TEXAS, Feb. 12, 1839.
Editor Courier.— Dear Sir—Congress adjourn
ed on the 23th January, after having been in ses
sion since the sth November. Many acts, which
ivili have a beneficial tendency upon the nation,
were passed during the session, among the more
important of which were the bill for the protec
tion of the Northern and Western Fron
tier, the provisions of which are ample f**r the
effecting of the protection of the frontier set
tlers fiom the depredations of Indians and Mexi
cans. Persons may now settle on the the, fron
tier witbsomc hope ofprotection and safety, and
we may soon expert to see our settlements ex
tending to Red River and Santa Fe on the North
and the Rio Del Norte on the West. Five
commissioners have been appointed with plenary
powers to locate permanently the seat of govern
ment, and the nextsession of congress is to con
vene on the second Monday in November next,
at the new capitol, which, it is supposed, will be
located on or near the Colorado; anil must be,
according to the act, above tiie old San Antonio
road. The City of Austin is in cognomen given
the new capitol. The point, although it is at
present unknown, is all the rage about Houston
and throughout the Republic at present. It will,
doubtless, be sellected as the residence of many
private families, who will be attracted thither by
the advantages ofhealth, society and schools.—
The commissioners are intelligent, enterprising
men, some of them are old citizens, and all are
well acquainted with the comparative merits of
different points and various sections ofthe repub
lic. It is my intention, in a short time to start
for the new seat of government, with a view of
procuring lots and making locations of laud in
its vicinity, and it would afford me much pleasure
to be the means of advancing youi interest in any
way in my power while in that part of the repub
lic, and engaged in that enterprise. I think lands
situated any where within 20 miles of tho new
seat of government will he very valuable in a short
time, as it will probably be located in a * art of
the country in which there will be a good deal of
vacant land. I think it behooves those who wish
to make a wise husbandry of their means and lay
out their capital to advantage to be on the alert
and not let this golden opportunity pass by. Un
important lots in the city will doubtless rise much
in value during the first three mouths, especially ‘
those on which small improvements are erected.
Farming on a smnll scale and gardening in the
interior will also be very profitable.

HORRIBLE ATROCITY.
An American Consul murdered under the sanc
tioroqf Mexican authorities. A letter addressed to
one of our most respectable commercial houses
states that Mr. Larigdon, the American Consul
for Laguna de Temiinos, died a few days previous
from blows received from a negro at Languua,
(under sanction of one of their justices.) He
had been most cruelly treated, and sent to a dun
geon where lie remained three nights with con
demned criminals, from whence he succeeded in
escaping with his lady to a small village between
that and Campeachy, where he died of his
wounds. His lady had gone up to Campeachy,
and an order from the old Judge had followed
her to bring her back to Laguna, to answer the
charges against her husband.
The above is copied from the Courier of ves
terday. To the following remarks of the Editor
we heartily respond.
The statement is well calculated to eradicate
every particle of sympathy which the Mexicans,
as Ainercans were entitled to receive from the
citizens of the United States. It cauuot he doubt
ed that in many parts of Mexico, all hlea9 of law
and justices are unknown to most ofthe individ
uals invested with authority. The towns and
villages on the sea cost, if not in the interior, may
be likeened to the piratical communities on the
Cost of Sumatra, with this ditference only, that
their inhabitants lack the courage of the Malays.
If it would be a folly to enter into a serious
war, for the purpose ol punishing such miscre
ants, still our citizens have a right to expect pro
tection from their country. The commanders of
our national vessels in the Gulf should receive in
structions to inflict such chastisement on the vil
lages where our people suffer, as Commodore
Downs gave to the pirate of Sumatra. It is
plain the argument of hard knocks is the only
one that can have any weight with such men as
the Judge of Laguna.— N. O. Bulletin.
Shocking Murder. —The details of a murder
that has few parallels in the annals of crime, are
thus given in the Morgan, Alabama, Observer:
We are informed from privite sources, that on
last Saturday, a poor man who was moving west
ward with his witeand three little children, and
driving a small drove ofsheep and perhaps a cow
or two which was driven by his family, on arriving
in Florence, and while passing through met with
a citizen of that place who rode into his flock and
caused him some trouble to keep it together,
when the nu> v er informed the individual that he
must not do so again or he would throw a rock at
him, upon which some words ensued and tho in
dividual again disturbed the fl«ck. When the
mover, as near as we can learn, threw at him; up
on this the troublesome mau got off his„ horse,
went into a grocery, got n gun and name out and
deliberately shot the poor stranger in the presence
of his wife and little children. The wounded
man then made an effort to get into some house,
when his murderous assailant overtook and stab
bed him to the heart with a bowie knife,. This
revolting scene, we arc informed, occurred in the
presence of many citizens, who repo-f says, never
even lifted their voices in defence of the murder
ed man. The blood of a stranger rests upon them
and the, cries ofa widow and three poor little or
phans, among strangers, who suffered a father’s
blood to be spilt for so trival a cause, must cer
tainly piorce their very hearts, and send the ven
geance of remorse to the guilty soul of such a di
aboTir'’* nvnrd'Ter.
The severest rain storm we ever recollect, oc
curred here on Friday night last. The water
fell iu torrents and the whole country was com
pletely deluged for several hours. Great damage
was dune to the roads and ploughed fields, bythe
washing of guillies, tearing up bridges, fences,
Ac. A severe shower of hail fell about 8 o’clock
P. M. which was accompanied with vivid light
ning, which seemed but one incessant flash, with
a continued peal of thunder for a considerable
time. The thunder and lightning was almost
unremitted for about fifteen Louis : w hich is a rare
occurrence at this season. Our river rose iaptd
ly about 20 feet, but did not go as high as we have
before seen it ; from which we infer that the rain
was hearier here than above us.
Some damage was dune to the Monroe Rail
Road, by the washing in ofa portion of the bank
at Singer’s hill, which caused a suspension ofthe
running of the Cars till yesterday, lor the pur
fiose of removing the lot.se earth. This has been
accomplished, and all is again in regular opera
tion*— Macon Messenger.
SALE OF THE MORUS MULTICAULIS.
Another extraordinary sale of this wonderful
tree took place at Franklin’s auction room in New
York on the 18th inst. Competition, says the
Commercial Advertiser, seemed to be awakened
by the great diminution iu the stock uow remain
ing for sale, and by the near approach ofthe plant

advance of 25percent, overall the previous tales.
The large specimen tiecs sold at $9 each, and
some bundles afless size commanded 83 50 to 54
per tree, and the smaller ones at 51 20 down to
about 40 lo 60 cents for thejsmallest. Ruot3 sold
at 15 to 1C cents each, in parcels of two to four
