The Races ovei this course, situated at the low er end of l)road-st., commence on Tuesday, 6th February next. A greater amount of money has been expended upon this track, and the necessary buildings, we presume, than any in the entire South. Every accommodation and comfort which can bo found at any course in the Union, can be I found at the Hampton, by those who may visit I* it during the approaching races. The purses of- I sered are large, and as we understand there are I many fine horses now hero and expected here, I the lovers of the turf may expect fine sport. I MOST CONTEMPTIOLE. I We were this morning shown a U. S. Trea- I sury note, payable 12 months after date, beating I interest at one mill per cent per annum. Is it I not disgusting to see a government making open I war upon the banking institutions, which iu I: own conduct has compelled to suspend specie ■ payments, denouncing their bills as ‘‘worthless I at?*’” * n ICI> Bee l^lat sarno government turn ■ and issue its own “rags,” based upon its ■ own mere credit, payable at 12 month* to bear I *he pitiful interest of one mill per cent. It is I an attempt to create a dtcfilifibn Without any H basis, and to enable the government to derive a H benefit and a profit without investing a cent. It ■ is rank imposition. ■ We see it announced in rfevertl Os Iffit totfidft ■ papers, that Messrs. CUtYctTck, Cleveland, ©*• ■ em, Grant land and Jaekeon, members of Cort ■ gross from this State, decline being candidates H felt 're-election. The loss es the vfchrable ServhtOS ■ of the latter named gentleman, will bo severely H felt, and sincerely regretted by the people of the State, for to whom shall we then look f 6 Vhtirtih us when Congress adjourns 1 “Lot the Heavens be hung in black”! The “nominee” of the “/am- ily circle” is about to be lost from the Congrest lional “ category ” —the political “ horoscope ” no longer illumined by the radiant "e/iminatioiii v ’ oV his translucent genius, will become intensely “obfuscated" ! Why, Oh ! Jabez, will you leave us in outer darkness I Why not put to,yeorsH f the “ utilitarian cui ioiii" ? Or it thd'u wilt de part, we beseech thee to inform us whither, from this “ punctum i a liens” thy “bellipotenl” foot atepa will f*j dheetfed-, Wilt We Wrt-y tthrottfcfo thee to earth’s remotest bounds! i> People of Georgia, if “ye have tears, prepare td ■food them now"! ! The Bunkley Case—Copy Right! \Ve publish below, the following article froth the Federal Union, on the subject of its claim to the copy right of the trial of the abdve case; We have commenced in an abridged form the publication of the report of that case in the Stan dard of Union, and shall conclude it iM a few day*. If the publici'tWh itt the Standard of Un ion is a violation of the copy right secured by the editors of the Federal Union, then we pre cise our abridgement Os St is likewise a viola tion. Since sur inquiry of the latter, whether they considered the publication by the former, a I violation of that right, some information as to circumstances and some reflection clearly satis fied our minds that it war net, and hence We commenced to transfer it to our columns before we received a reply to our enquiry. Our understanding of the facts in relation to this claim on the part of the editors of the Feder al Union is this:—They employed some person; adequate to the task, to attend the trial and make out a full and accurate report of the testimony and proceedings in the case, which they design publishing in a book, the copy right of which they have secured according to the lorhlS r)fl4W-. This they had a perfect and undeniable tight to do, and whosoever, without their consent, should publish this book, or its contents, would be guil ty of a violation o( their copy right. Thu* far wo concede the ground to the Federal Union, and it is all they cin claim—now for the other side of the picture: It is made by law the duty • of the Judges of the Superior coUtts oi this State, upon the trial of any criminal case invol ving the life of the prisoner, or subjecting him to imprisonment In the Penitentiary, in Ihe event of conviction, to cause the testimony to be taken down in writing by some competent per son. This is filed among ar.d becomes a part of the records of the court, and a copy of it I and the other proceedings in the ease, are for warded to the keeper of the Penitentiary, and g(e his authority for receiving and confining Ihe convict. The report of the Bunkley case published by the Standard of Union, we un. Iderstand, is nothing more than the copy of the exemplification from the records of the Supe. rior Court’of Jones county. If so, we hold that it is no violation of the copy right of the Federal Union,for the records of our courts are public,and no man has a right to appropriate them to his own use, to the prevention of others, by claiming an exclusive Copy Right. Every Editor in the , State might have made his own report of the •ante trial, and each would be entitled to his Co py Right, and yet neither of them would be any violation of the right of any of the others. The securing of a Copy Right to a book written upon any subject whatever, does not debar other per sons from writing and publishing a book upon the same subject, although it would debar the re publication of the same work. In this matter we entertain no sort of hostility tothe Editor* of the Federal Union, and if, con trary to our opinion, we have violated any leg*, ' - • I L . -r-w-u | 'ifhtof theirs, w« are willing to make any kind ,j,L 1 1 v j t " J o. reparation that i« juat and proper, without a reaoi t to a legal tribunal. Our publication of the Inal may injure to some extent, the sale o( their book, but if we have violated no right of theirs, they cannot blame us for desiring to give interest to oir paper, by laying the testimony before o’dr . Vcadera ts early as possible. ' Trifi STANDARD OF UNION. Alter notice, and after the publication of the certificate of our Copy Right to publish the proceedings, evidence, &c. of the Bunk ley case, as it is called, that print (the Stan dard of Union-) unreasonably ajt|d unexpected ly commenced, and We -may add, maliciously continues the publication ofthe testimony and proceedings in the case. We notice m ar tide in the Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, ofthe 19th instant, in which the editor ex presses a disposition to publish the same from the Standard, but in a spirit more commend able than is evidenced by tlie conduct of our neighbor, intimates a deSife fd le informed 1 whether it will violate our rights, and respect fully enquires “if the publication by that paper (the Standard) is an infringement of our Copy Right.” We respectfully refer the Chron. & Sent., as well as all who design to publish from the Standard of Union, the testimony in this case, to the laws respecting copy rights. The publication of the testimony in the Bunkley case, by the Standard of Union, is not done under any arrangement or consent of ours; and the question whether it is an in fringement of our copy right, will, in all pro liability be submitted to the proper tribunal to determine. Ti.e Standard have, as they say, (?) in curred considerable expense and much labor to present their readers witli the testimony in the Bunkley case!!! We have no doubt but that they will be handsomely repaid tor copying it from the exemplification furnish ed the Keeper of the Penitentiary, by the number of new subscribers which they hepe to obtain, and for whose accommodation an extra number have been printed. In addi tion to tins, our neighbor will, by having thus 'irtjdred us, in the sale of our “BOOK” gratify 'their mdlicltus and vindictfve-feetintgs against us for fire.'rtn'iirig td tffer to "do printing, or publish a “BOOK” without their permission. Upon the acquisition of this unenviable, though, to them delicious dish for their appe tite, they can feast, while they exult over the injury 'Aorifc Vis, and their disregard tth the course pursued by themselves, or the rights and social feelings ot their neighbors. The expense they incurred by displaying thfeir 6f fice and occupying their whole sheet to hur ry this evidence, nearly entire, before the public, is but a trifle to them, when compar ed with the joyful greeting and the bountiful redrew! their inuliial cheering will afford rt re counting the glorious achievrnents accomplish! ed by their vindictive conduct and ungenerous feelings. The Wtrge Quantity of Book and athnt prin ting they have on band for the &iate, which should demand theiAnmediale attention, and for which they are well paid, appears to be a matter of little consequence to them, when they dm), that the Federal Union have a “BOOK” t 6 publish, which they can injure the sale of, however ungenerous, or unprovok ed may be the course pursued to effect it. Our neighbor’s knowledge ot the law, and Os our Copy Right, obtained Whderit-, hWtVes them without any pretext 'tinder the plea of ig norance; as to either; and they canitbt com plain of us for resenting their conduct. Our mild and persuasive requests of them, were sufficient to have determined them to desist their publication of ibis matter, if, in their disposition-, it were poseiblfe fdi- them to sur*, render th'eilr p'drSdiial 'enmity and ambitious feelings. We again insert the certificate of our Copy Right, in order that it may not bo inlringed. We trust there will not bo fonnd another press, in Georgia, which will intimate the Standard’s inimical and injurious course to ward us'' “District of Georgia, to-wit) “Be it rtmqmbered, that on the 9th day of January, A; D. 1838, Park & Rogers, have deposited in this office the title of a book, the title of which is in the words following, to wit: “Pleadings and Evidence in the trial of Elijah Barber, otherwise called Jesse L, B'unki.eV, for cheating and swindling, by personating one Jesse L.

Clerk of said District. [riioji OUR CORRF.»foi*iiEXT.] WASHINGTON, Jan. 23d, 1838. On Friday (the date of my last letter) the Se nate adjourned till to da;. The Housa sat on Saturday. The Mississippi Election case Was the principal business. Mr. FOSTER of N. Y, continued his long, prosy, and pointless speech in behalf of the sitting members. The calibre of this person is abou t that of a fourth rate village attorney. He bad the bad taste to affect a sneer at the highly wrought and admirable eloquence of Mr. Prentiss. He would not indulge in tropes and metaphors &c. Ac not be! He looked Upon it as unbe coming. He regarded himself as a Judge; and to on, he stilted in this high style, thinking him self a marvellous proper man, and Mr. Prentiss a mere dwarf in oratory beside him! Mr. BRONSON of N. Y. is to follow his col league sod also do battle for the sitting members. Both of these edvocales came here as conserva tives at the extra session; and ever since they have been laboring as volunteers in work of tbs kind they are now engaged in, to conciliate the favor of “the party,” end get back again into the ranks. Their cantervation extends only to ccr. tain banks, against which the Administration is waring. As to all other parly measures, they are as unscrupulous as jariy Os the trainbands. The conservative constituency of New York, are not Italy represented by these gentlemen of “ifs” and “huts;” and so the latter will find. Ilia not at all probable that the efforts of Mr* Foster & bis coadjutors, aided byjall the discipline of the party, will prevail against Messis Prentiss and Word. There have been several change* in 1 ,beir f» v or. The speech of Mr. Pren»isa mad* an J impression that will not soon be forgotten. Should 1 he be admitted, he his gained for himself a repu -1 tation as one ol the most able and eloquent men > in Congress. r , - "The Sub-Treasury Bill having been postponed ’ to Tuesday next; and Mr. Calhoun's agitating r resolutions having been disposed of, all is now' comparatively quiet. There is excitement enough in prospect, however, when the Sub-Treasury f Bill comes up to-morrow week, then will come 1 the tag of war./Mr. Senator Grundy will be in structed by 'Tennessee; and with what front will Messrs. Mo,ris and Allen of Ohio have the front to oppose the expressed will of their Legislature, | after all tfieltcliirtb'iltT ibdit to instruc tions. Mr. BLACK of Mississippi resigned his seat in the Senate to-day. He stated no reason for the step. It is understood that he is compelled to take it by imperative edghgerAents it hotAe. fee 'Ulfty re-aWel C Mr. SWIFT of Vermont offered a memorial from the Governor of that State, praying that the Franking privilege be extended to the Governors ofStaWs. Referred to the Committee on Post dlmces artd Post Roads. A number of petitions were presented praying for abolition in the District of Columbia. The question of reception was demanded, and, on mo lion of Mr. Strange, laid on the table. Mr. MORRIS of Ohio presented an enormout pile; and said they had all reached him since the debate on Mr. Calhoun’s resolutions. Ohio, ho said, was determined to present an unbioken front in favour of the Right of Petition. Mr. LUMPKIN of Georgia moved that the communication from the War Department, rela tive to the execution of the Cherokee Treaty, bo oidered to be printed. 5000 copies were ordered. Mr. LUMPKIN then referred to the memorial from John Roes and others, which had been or dered lobe printed by the other House; and spoke in terms of great severity against the conduct of Russ; and moved that a reply, published by Mr. Boudinot, Editor of the Cherokee Phoenix, be al so printed fur the use of the Senate. 1500 co pies of the reply were ordered. The Senate then proceeded to the considera tion of the bill reported by the committee on Judiciary for the protection of the lives of pas sengers in vessels propelled by steam; which was ordered finally to the third reading. In the Houve, Mr. EVERETT, of Vermont, called up the petition es -John Ross and others, . VcHWhs'tlkfiVifc ffcilnst the execution of the Cher okee treaty of December 1835; and praying Congress for relief; which was presented by him on Monday last. Mr Owens, of Ga. ob jected, and called the ayes and nays on granting leave. The House resolved to take up the re solution ayes 96 nays 83. Mr. HAYNES thenkaidlMXimWe was to be a theVAkee tVa'r, ft ntiglU li Well 'cAftto now as at any other time; and moved to postpone indefinitely the motion to commit it- to the , Committee on Indian Affairs, which had t li'e'eii made by Mr EVer’ett. The latter gentle'- ' men then took the floor and commenced an ad- 1 dress in favor of the petitioners, but the hour for ( going to the special order having arrived, the j House took up the Mississippi E\ectVcd case', and ( Mr Foster again rose and continued his speech t v Su favor of life sittlbg members.
