“I have had the honor to receive your letter

This act of courtesy was thus acknowloug

“ 1 should do injustice to my own feelings,
but still greater injustice to the very frank

You have saved the ship. The act, itself, but
especially the manner in which it was confer

Governor Don replied as follows :
“I feel extremely happy to find that the an

A MERICA N GOVERNMENT. The Ed

Government: “It is a beautiful trait fin the
history of the American Government, that it

banished a single individual for State crimes !
No renegade minister grows immortal there
by “saving the Constitution” and crushing
the “hydra of jacobinism,” at the expense of
human blood and human happiness. lam

NEW PROCESS OF DISTILLATION.—
The London Literary Gazette of March,
gives a curious discovery made by Mr. Rob
but Hicks. It proceeds upon the principle,
that all vegetable substances susceptible of
the vinous fermentation [substances contain
jug saccharine matter ,] give a certain volatile
aroma, which contains alcohol in the state of
gas. Condense it and the gass becomes spir
it. Now, it has been long known that
grain (wheat, com, .barley, etc.] when
treated in a particular way and tnade to un
dergo the vinous fermentation, yields spi
rit I upon distillation. And if grain can do it,
vhv not this grain reduce to flour and fermen
ted? Mr. Hicks’discovery consists in catch
ing the vapour of dough, [fermented paste,]
when it is baking in the oven, and passing it
thro’ the worm [like other stills.] It comes
out a clear spirit. Mr. 11. proposes to estab
lish a distillery in the bakeries—so that you
may be making your spirit and your bread at
the same time. Instead of being made of
brick work, Ins ovens arc made of iron—on
their top, is a cap which catches the vapour
lrom the dough, etc. It is said, that the
sponge necessary to form the peck loaf is ca-
P 'lde of yielding three ounces of proof spirit
during the Operations of baking, etc. etc.

GOVERNOR GILMER.
It is cur purpose to render the Advertiser a
communicative medium of intelligence, rather
thaii a bickering, turbulent, and political sheet.
‘We came to this determination before our late
renewal of editorial labors, and the warm manifes
tations of friendship, and evidences of patronage
which immediately succeeded our “new-born
effort,” greatly conspired to mature and rivet,
what wc had but designed to do. And yet,k can
not be supposed, that we have so far forgotten* a
duty to the public, at large,and a proper estimate
of personal independence, to have denied ourself
the privilege ol preserving a sensitive regard for
our own views of men and measures, and a para
mount obligation to prdtect them whenever impro
perly assailed. To this end, we are brought to
i onsider an editorial stricture which appeared last
week in our neighboring print, the Macon Tele
graph. 11 is as follows :
“His excellency Governor Gilmer has, by
proclamation, offered two hundred dollars to
any person or persons who shall apprehend,
identify and deliver to the authorities ofM’ln
tosh county, tho persons guilty of breaking
open the jail of Darien on the night of the
6th and Ttn aft. and liberating therefrom Jo
seph Bell of Montgomery charged with the
murder of Mathew Sapp. He unquestiona
bly believes the offenders to be poor, obscure,
an<l uninfluential; for were he of opinion
that they have the means, by connexions and
property, to effect his re-election, they might
reside in the neighborhood of Darien 'settiim
the civil authority at defiance until doomsdav,
without his daring to allude to their offence
in a newspaper or to offer one cent for their
capture, though a true bill had by a grand ju
ry been found against them, and their names
together with the circumstances of their case
were known throughout the State. It is a
gainsf only those whom he deems poor and
uninfluential that he dare enforce the law
As often as the word Darien meets his eye or
ear, his conscience, we should suppose, tells
him, that he has neither the impartiality nor
firmness requisite to a faithful discharge of
executive duty. A pretty “governor of the
people .”
We do not presume that a sympathy for Mr.
Bell, or that a desire to screen him from a judicial
investigation, influenced the editor of the Tele
graph in penning the paragraph we have above
quoted. W hat then could have been the actuat
ing motive? It is evident that to make his re
niarKS bear upon Gov. Gilmer, the editor intend
ed to say, that he, the Governor, had purposely
omitted to take official cognizance of some case or
other, similar to that of Bell’s, which had come
within the Executive purview. If we are right in
this inference, we are sorry that the Telegraph
did not make out its charges and specifications,
clearly and distinctly, for then it would have gi
ven U3 an opportunity to have rebutted them, end
to have convinced him, which we feel confident
we ean do,) of the errur into w hich he has fallen.
Wc hope he w ill present us with this opportunity
in his next.
Before we leave the sut jeet, for the present, we
cannot refrain from expressing our surprise, at
the bitter remarks of the Telegraph; because of
the cordial advocacy which it had given Mr. Gil
mer in the last gubernatorial contest, in which he
was zealously supported, for all those com i. .and
qualifications which pictured him as the “ .test
and best” to guide the helm of state. A uniform
approbation of the Governor’s admir.;:ion has
also been echoed thro’ the Telegraph, until lately,
when the necessary preparation for another but
tle to be fought and wen,” has caused a change of
opinion, and a settled opposition, w hich has been
thus early manifested on a very improper subject—
a subject altogether uncalled for, and w hich st ems
to be dragged in by a tortured invention, which
has strove in vain to find cause for legitimate op
position. W e fear it is a forerunner of that dead
ly inveteracy of feeling, and of that untiring hos
tility of sentiment, with which the warfare is to
be conducted—and that it is a certain revival ol'
that party spirit which espouses men in preference
to principles—a spirit which has always been
hostile to the peace, and obnoxious to the virtues
of society.
We did not expect, and had not prepared oor
shlf forso early an occasion to break a lance with
the Telegraph, or any other of the fraternal corps:
and the less were we disposed to do so just
now, from the kind and cordial manifestations of
welcome which brother Bartlett had shown us;
as also, from a sincere desire to delay any attack
until the champions should have entered the arena,
and the trumpet sounded to battle. Then, and
not till then was it our wish to run a tilt in the ani
mated tourney.
MB. IXMrKIS.
The delicate and dangerous predicament in
which this gentleman has been placed, cither by
himself, or the misjudging partialities of his
friends, is noticed in a proper manner by the edi
tor of the Columbus Democrat. lie correctly
views the attitude which Mr. Lumpkin lias as
sumed, and like a high-minded partizan, refuses
to give credence to statements which go to impugn
his previous declarations. Wc like to sre such
exhibitions of political independence. The De
mocrat says:
“Some of our papers still insist that Mr.
Lumpkin is a candidate for Governor. Now
if a man’s own word cannot be taken in mat
ters of this kind, we know not whose can. —
Besides, running him as a candidate at this
time would prevent “the people of Georgia
from being united [in Mr. Gilmer wc sup
pose-,] which it is Mr. Lumpkin’s anxious de
sire to see,” and it would moreover “tend to
embitter party animosities, and engender
new strifes and above all that Mr. Lumpkin
considers his services much more important in
Congress than elsewhere; and it would in his
view be a derelection of duty to desert his
post. Wc shall not believe that be is a candi
date until we see it announced under his own
hand. Ilia letter to tho Editor of the Chroni
cle is the best evidence w e have seen on the
subject,and must be conclusive till rebutted
by higher.
OUK DOMESTICS.
The following remark is in a communication
which appeared in the last Macon Telegraph, on
the subject of 44 Reduction: n
* Fhc calculation of representative inhabi
tants, allowing five blacks to he equal to throe
whites, seems another departure from strict
justice, as it gives an undue influence to a vo
ter living in a county with a large slave-pop
ulation. It cannot be successfully defended,
by assuming that the tax paid for the slave
iirinshes the right; for, if admitted as legitim-
J 1 ‘ io * ax P ;l on stallions would •entitle
Horses to be likewise represented.”
'I he article, in the main, is a sensible and well
w iit.cn < no. But the comparison which it draws
between our ’domestic population and the brute
creation, is a stale joke, which has been repeated
by more wise and wicked heads than the one
which the communicant of the Telegraph wears
upon Ins shoulders. It is a’strange anomaly
which the ultra philanthropists present, when
thr j contend for the cquul.ly of the slave, and at
the same time endcavoi to degrade him to the lc
vcl ol the brute. Like the whites, they have their
\ irtues as well as their vices : and numerous are
the instances in which they have devoted them
selves to the public good, in the defence of pro
perty, in the protection of their masters, and even
in tlie exercise of private benefactions. A good
black man is better than a bad white man—und
there is a moral, if there were no other cousidcra
tion existing, which entitles him to a portion of
representation.
IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
The following Circular has been addressed by
Governor Gihncrto the different Sheriffs through
out the State:
Lxecttivj: Department, i
MiUcdgetille, 30 th April, 1831. \
“Sill—You are requested to inform me, at
as early a time as may be convenient, what
number of persons were confined for debt by
Ca. Sa. in the county for which you are Shcr
itl, during the year 1830, the amount of debt,
and length ot time for which each person was
imprisoned, and the manner in which each
debtor was discharged, whether by paying the
debt, by his creditors, by complying with the
insolvent law, or otherwise.”
This Circular is issued no doubt, with tlie view
of collecting such data as will enable the Cover,
nor to form a definite opinion upon the subject of
imprisonment for debt; & at the same time to pre
sent such facts for tlie consideration of the next le
gislature as will induce that body so to reform tho
system, that the honest debtor may be shielded
from many of the persecutions to which he is now
too much exposed. This subject has, of late
years, attra eted a more than usual degree of inter
est, not only in Congress, but in almost every
state ol the Union; in many of which salutary
modifications have taken place. Such is the spi
rit of the times, that wc should not be surprised ; f
the state were to tear this “ relic of Gothic barba
rism” from the statute books of tlie country, be
fore the Congress cf the United States ceases to
make it a dgbtrteable subject.
TIJK PEN ITL'VTiARY.
All the newspapers in tlie state have announced
the destruction of this institution; and they have
all, we believe, withheld any remark of commit
tal Not one cf them has suggested its opinion
in regard to tho continuance of the system, or the
entire abandonment of it:—all have shrunk from
it with a temerity', which seems to us, to be gra
dually making an earnest inroad on the candor
and lrcedom ot the Press—an awful unwilling
ness to meet an unexpressed public opinion: this
is not as it should be—\Y hy T halt w T e from a free,
frank, and bold expression of our sentiments?—
Newspapers and editors are expected to do their
duty. They should, at least, endeavor to inform,
communicate and enlighten the community; anj
whilst wc are supine and inert on a subject which
comes so directly- home to us, we can only be con
sidered as common purveyors of public casualities
—or, as mere negations in political society. Wc
therefore ask the co-operation of the Typographi
cal and Editorial Corps, throughout the state, to
be up and a-doing—\Y e have slumbered long and
carelessly, and it behooves us as men, as editors,
to perform a duty which we all owe to the
public- It matters not with us, that there arc dif
ferences of opinion on this subject—indeed, it is
so much the better—boaause we shall thereby' be
enabled to canvass the merits and demerits of a
system to which the best philanthropists—the wi
sest sages—and the ablest legislators, have devot
ed all the talent and influence they could putin re
quisition.
The question will now likely arise—“ Penite
ntiary, or, No Penitentiary?” Its solution is soon
to be made. It will devolve on the next Legisla
ture to determine, whether it will be re-built, and
the system continued, or, whether it shall be a
bolished. Which ought to be done, belpngs to
a higher tribunal than our humble self to decidCk
But, an expression of opinion may lead to investi
gation—that to truth, and thereby the great desi
deratum may be accomplished.
There are in the United States, about seven or
eight Penitentiaries—Not one of these institutions
afford an available revenue of any impor
tance. Their receipts, in many instances, are in
sufficient to meet their disbursements, (as has
been, wc believe, fully realized in Georgia)
and, where this is not the case, the balance on
hand is not much more than w ould be necessary
to furnish the convicts with a fourth of July din
ner. But even admitting that a Penitentiary con
taining 100 convicts, should by their manual la
bor, after defraying the multifarious expenses cf
the institution, throw annually into tho Treasury
of tlie state, $50,000, we contend, that this, instead
of enriching, the state, or benefiting the people,
which wc consider to be one and the same thing, '•
w ould have a tendency diametrically opposite.— |
This assertion will appear paradoxical to those,
who have not viewed the subject closely and prac
tically. To prove it, however, we need only say,
that the work which is executed in a Penitentia
ry, may be generally rated at about twenty-five j
1 1 r OWlt. lowi r than the same work can be 'don; 1
by honest and industrious mechanics andartifi-l
curs: and Hits, the institution is enabled todo,by !
the labciicui? taslre which are imposed upon the ■
operatives, and the comparative insignificant ex
penses which are incurred in their cheap clothing
and coarse diet. Owing to these advantages, en
terprising tradeHtien and laborers, equalling the
convicts in number, are driven to seek subsistence
and employment in some other place, whc're they
can ply their skill and industry without fearing
the shackles of a Penitentiary Monopoly, and
where their lumestcxniions will not be paralized
by the legalised opposition of public malefactors.
The - wealth the improvement—and the
embellishments which one hundred moral,
hard-working, and ingenious mechanics, can
bring into a state, adds more to its resources, mo
rals, and character, than could the productive la
bor of on% —aye, of ten thousand culprits. In a
civil point of view, it is in this light, we look up
on the Penitentiary as a nuisance, and as a real
drawback upon tlie resources of the state.
To us, its moral features are equally revolting.
The mc3t favorable estimate would say, that
there is barely ono in fifty, who undergo the pun
ishment of the Penitentiary, that come out of it re-
formed. And even that one, from a sense of-the
situation to which he has been degraded, must
possess a greater share of moral courage than ge
nerally falls to the lot of poor humanity, if he can
be aroused to any thing like honorable and use
ful action. W hen he comes back into the world,
il lie does not meet the sneers and taunts of the
unfeeling, there is a silent monitor within, which
tells him, that the eye of public observation is fix
ed upon him, and seems to say, “ There goes a
Penitentiary convict!” If such is the effects pro
duced upon minds disposed to reformation, what
must it be upon these of a more depraved and in
corrigible nature.
The deleterious influence of the Penitentiary
upon the morals of society, is also illustrated in
the fact, that it has increased, and continues to
increase the quantity of crime. We believe there
is not a judicial Circuit in the state, if its dock
ets be consulted, but what will bear us out in the
assertion, that cases of petty larceny have, at
east been doubled, since the establishment of the
Penitentiary system—and that, on the other hand,
capital offences have not diminished, but are as
frequent, if not more frequent than formerly
The causes which lead to the former, are found in
the certain support and comparative comfort
Which the Penitentiary furnishes to tlie idle and
vicious, and which they could not find within the
four walls of a jail, nor in the contingent and er
ratic courses of a vagabond life. In the latter,
capital offences, which deserve to be punished as
such, sometimes Ipse their character in the esti
mation of Jurors, in consequence of what they
conceive mitigating circumstances; but which in
reality; cannot be either legally or equitably re
cognised in that light. This changes the feature
of the crime; and tlie jurors, by an not of mental
reservation, inducts the offender iuto a costly edi
fice, instead of exalting him to the gallows. For
i ourself, we would rather see a Botany Bay estab
lishment, than a continuance of tho Penitentiary
System. The one keeps crime in the country—
the other drives it out.
In tiie event oi the abolition of the Penitentiary
tfie greater difficulty weald he a proper
riddance of the convicts. For the present, we
will,only allude to it: but, instead of a wholesale
delivery, a suggestion of the continuance of the
present representative of a Penitentiary, until the
convicts’ sentence expires, would seem appropri
ate. Anon.
SERENADES.
“Music has charms, to soothe tho savage car,
To soften rocks and bend the gnarled oak.”
Why do not our amateurs indulge more fre
quently in this “ food of love?” YY'u heard a lit
tle of it last night. There are many among us,
with whom the “ ventiges” of the Italian flute is
not unfamiliar—Many who can touch the Cremo
na strings with scientific hands—many who can
control the “stops” of the life-inspiring Cla
rionet, and make the Kent Bugle speak in all the
melody of undulating sounds—and why then, we
repeat do they not “ discourse to us their sweet
sounds?”
Our soft and balmy atmosphere—our “ span
gled skies”—as beautiful as those of boasted
Italia—spread out their charms, and invite us to
their celebration. But away with Romance—and
yet this is not romance. For who, after the fa
tiguing labors of the day, and the sultry heat of
our opening summer, is not prepared to inhale the
cool and fragrant breezes of our balmy and brilli
ant evenings, and listen with pleasure, even rap
ture, to the pensive or exhilerating sounds of mu
sic. It is an innocent and delightful amusement,
which is well calculated to preserve anequinimi
ty of mind, encourage the good affections, and im
prove, by its salubrious influence, the health of the
body.
THE MARCH OF PRINCIPLE.
The glow of satisfaction which we felt in notic
ing the conversion of our brother cf the Georgia
Courier, had scarcely subsided, when another
penitent presented himself at the Confessional of
the People, and gave an accumulated impulse to
the delightful sensation which was still lingering
at our fingsrs end. On opening the last Lynch
burg Y’irginian, the following manly and magnani
mous recantation saluted us. It is another evi
dence, if evidence were wanting, that “ truth is
mighty nnd willprevail."
From the Lynchburg Virginian, of May 9.
. TIIE OOBHESPONDENCE.
“As an act of justice to William 11. Craw
ford, and incompliance with the wish of some
ol his friends, ive commence in this morning’s
paper, and shall conclude in our next, the
publication of a “Review of the Correspond
ence” between the President and Vice Presi
dent, w hich we find in a late No. of the Geor
gia Journal. The most prejudiced partisan
of Mr. Calhoun will find it difficult to rise
from its perusal, without confessing that he
lms new views on tho subject of that corres
pondence. In our opinion, William H.
Crawford is acquitted, by a powerful nnd in
genious array of facts, of the falsehood, which
has been heretofore, almost by common con
sent, imputed to him, either as growing out of
a malicious desire to injure Mr. Calhoun, or
■w tho effect of a decayed and lapsed memory.
This opinion, we are aware, may expose us
to the charge of inconsistency. If it docs,
we cannot help it. In confessing an error,
it is only saying that we are wiser to-day than
we were yesterday. We have materially
changed our opinion, and this change has
been in a great measure, wrought by the
“Review,” which wc this day publish.—When
wc first read the Correspondence', and the va
rious publications which grow out of it, it was
necessarily done in a confused and hasty man
ner ; and tho opinion then expressed was the
result of not very deliberate investigation and
reflection. Indeed, in such a voluminous
correspondence, it is almost impossible, with
out a careful comparison of dates, and a crit
ical analysis of the conflicting statements of
parties, tocometoanv correct conclusion.—
I lint comparison and analysis we did not
make; for, in truth, wc did not then seethe
necessity of it. And besides, our feelings were
enlisted in Mr. Calhoun’s favor. We fancied
\vc saw in him, what lie and his friend Duff
Green, so artfully endeavored to represent
him, a hunted deer, stricken by the archer,
and pursued by tho whole hack of blood
hounds, who, living on government patronage
hold themselves at at all times in readiness to
do tlie bidding of their paymasters. We fan
cied we saw in him tho victim of a deep-laid
plot, of which Martin Van Huron was the pro
jector and the intended beneficiary, and Gen.
Jackson the instrument. And so believing,
ue run ofl, with many others, on a false scent,
and gave a decided expression of opinion in
favorofMr. Calhoun. Since that time, we
have not recurred to tlie Correspondence, and
have rested content with our opinions, as form
ed from the first perusal. Tlie “Review” has
opened our eves—and wc confess that wc now
look on the subject in a very different point
of view.”
GOVERNOR BRANCH.
W e regret that it becomes our duty to publish
the letter ot this gentleman. He seems to display
not only too much solicitude for himself, but even
to shut his eyes upon the patriotic motives which
actuated the President in the re-organization of
bis Cabinet. President Jackson has not charged
Mr. Branch with any attempt to promote discord
in his late (_ abinet—neither has lie accused him
ol any derilection of duty—or, of a want, of capa--
city in the discharge of the functions which be
longed to his Department. On the contrary in
his correspondence with him, the President makes
“honorable mention” of his able and faithful dis
charge of all official duties.
Mr. Van Buren’s letter, and the President’s re
ply to it, should, we think, have convinced Mr.
Branch, that the policy of anew Cabinet was
forced upon the President by a sense of duly
which he owed his country, and that he could
not possibly have pursued any other course,
that would' have enabled him to defeat, as suc
cessfully as he has already defeated, the disgrace
ful and treacherous machinations of the Vice
President of the UNITED STATUS,

She subscriber is flattered with the expectation,
that the conveniences and improvements which
have been added to ibis Establishment, in all
those matters which essentially concern the
health, comfort, and amusement of its visitors,
will render it the ensuing season, more attractive
than ever. Tlie private apartments will afford
ample retirement to invalids, families, and others
who prefer it. They are so arranged, as to com
bine every convenience and accommodation, suit
ed to the largest or smallest assembly, male and
female. Arrangements are also made, with the
particular design of accomodating large families,
by affording them large, spacious cabins, near to
or remote as they may select from the centre build
ing, with double and single rooms, where they
can be at all times, perfectly secure in the enjoy
ment of quiet retirement.
The Subscriber pledges herself to devote her
•cliicl exertions to the accommodation of private
families, & w ill spare no means to render visitors
happy and agreeable, by providing every thin*
that may contribute to their health, by carefully
guarding against annoyances of every description.
The Public Halls are abundantly spacious to
receive all who may desire company.
No Public Balls will be given at Shocco during
the season, but those who delight in Music and
Dancing can partake of them without its disturb
ing or annoying, in the slightest degree, the rest
of the Boarders.
” Few Watering Places present more rational
objects of attraction than Shocco. Located in the
most healthy, rich and populous part of ths coun

in its Springs and climate many advantages, and

To the Public.
MR. BARTLETT, in his last Telegraph has
thought proper to advertise me as a ran*
way apprentice. To satisfy the public that this
is a libellous publication, (of which I may proba
bly hereafter convince Mr. B) l will give their
a plain statement of the case as it actually stands,
In tiic first place, I was never indented to Mr,
Bartlett, and consequently cannot be viewed ir
the character of an apprentice. I entered into hi)
service about 11 months since, under verbal con
ditions, the spirit of which he has nevc.r ccmpliec
with. After I had determined to leave the office
I called upon Mr. B. and told him that my situ
ation was a disagreeable one—that his treatment
of me was in violation of his verbal promises, and|
that I was determinad to quit him. I low this opeifl
and frank avowal can be tortured into lL runninfM
awuy," is more than I can imagine. The trutlß
is, Mr. B. has had no just cause of complaint.—l
He has, just upon my entrance into active life, infl
dulgedin a malignant atte/npt to wound my feel-1
ingsand hurt my character without my ever liavfl
ing injured him or given him any, just cause ol
complaint. But the blow which ho intended fol
me w ill certainly recoil upon his own head.
