We received nothing by the Northern Express bis morning, and nothing of particular interest y the Southern. By the mail from Athens, however, we received ie Miner’s Recorder, of Saturday last, containing he-presentments of the Grand Juries of Lump in, Cherokee, and Union counties, all three de ouncing in the most unmeasured terms the ap ointmont of Bishop to the Tellership of the Cen tal Bank. The following are extracts from hem: ‘hesentments of the Grand Jury of Lump kin County, March Term.

Having gone through the ordinary business f the county, we beg leave to take into consid ration a matter in which the whole people of Jcorgia are particularly interested. We consid r the appointment of Col.

On the Bth lost, the house of Mr. William Clemmons, situated on the road from Alligator i t 0 Lcvingston’s Ferry, on the Suwannee, about twenty miles from the latter place, was attacked by Indians. The inmates, consisting of Mrs. I Clemmons and four children, and a little orphan lad living with Mr, Clemmons, were murdered 1 Mr. C. was from home at the time this awful vis itation was made upon his family. He returned on the 10th inst the second day after the horrid transaction, and the first intimation of the calam ity that had befallen his wife and little ones, was the desolate appearance of his home, and then the bodies of iris wife and children, fifty or more yards from the house. They had been shot while attempting to escape, as it would seem Irom the position in which the bodies lay. They were unsealped. The chil dren were shot in the head, and so near were the guns when discharged, that the heads of these unfortunate children were literally blown to pie ces ! And to the horror of the sight, and anguish oft bereaved husband and father, the body of child, a baho was al most devoured, and th» arm of the mother eaten off, by hogs ! What a scene was this] What a duly, a heart rending duty was there to be performed by the husband, tl;e father ! To collect the mutila ted bodies of his wife and five children, four of them his own, and place them in a corn-house till ho could go eight miles for assistance to bury the dead ! Breathes the man with heart so cold, as not to symphathise with the afflicted and suf fering of Bast Florida! We have not heard any thing of General Her nandez at Tomoka since our last.

(From the Albany Evening Journal. “ Wk ely or night.” —That “winged mes senger,” the steamboat Swallow, which left here at 5 P. M. on Monday, furnished the New York Daily Express with a copy of the Evening Journal in time for that paper to give a sketch of the legislative proceedings on Tuesday morning! Thus, by the agency of steam, the matter which wo serve out in Albany at tea, this evening; will be dished up for breakfast in New York, tomor row morning! This is truly an annihilation of time and space, The thing was done again. See the Post script in yesterday’* Express. On Thursday night, a very large portion of the Express was put in type after midnight, and the Editors did not quit work till other people began to get up in the morning, Oen. relations with Mexico. —The Na tional Intelligencer has the following paragraph. We do not understand precisely what it means It cannot be that the government of Mexico seri ously thinks of interrupting the peaceable rela tions of the two countries ; “What we stated last week merely as a rumor we now feel warranted in repeating as undoubt ed fact. We learn; from a source upon which we can rely, that the Mexican charged affaires has received orders from his government requiring him, immediately to suspend all intercourse with the cabinet at Washington. We do not learn that he is yet ordered to return home; but we suppose the diplomatic intercourse between the two governments is, at this moment entirely at an end. As our executive must be apprised of the fact above stated, it is strange that no official annuncation of it is made. The Bill to Prevent Uscnr. — Wo find the following in the Albany Evening Journal. The editor says it is written by an intelligent and enterprising capitalist of one of the Western countries. “Public sentiment has changed wonderfully within the last three months. No one now ad vocates shaving. —Every intelligent man I have conversed with, approves of the opinion you have expressed. The whole community have hither to been guilty ; for any man who could command a few hundred dollars has commenced shoving farmers as well as others. It has become epide mic—but, the feeling now is very hostile to it; and it will soon be considered honorable to re sist payments of usurious notes. —A’. T. Daily Express. Wheat, Rye, &c. —The holders of grain in the interior to continue to send it to this city, as they have been accustomed to do heretofore, not being aware that it bears a higher price at almost any given place this side the Allegany, than it does here. It is well for them to learn that we are not only amply supplied with grain from Eu rope, but that we are actually sending it to tlie in terior at a profit. A note from one of the largest wheat and (lour factors in this city to us, states that “most of the Pennsylvania nlicat sold lately, is sold to go up the Schuylkill in boats, or is hauled some distance into the interior by wagons. This caused no inconsiderable loss ami waste which fall upon the owners.” The same remark, the writers think, will apply to New York and Bal timore—wheat having been shipped from New York to Troy and Albany which on his way mot cargoes coming from those places to New York. We are informed by the house alluded to, that the late importations of wheat from Europe, have been of the ndw crop which is of the best quality —entirely different from the first cargoes received. —Philadelphia Commercial Herald, Distress among Manufacturers. Our enter prising manufactures, says the Haverhill Gazette are compelled to curtail business and dismiss their hands on account of scarcity of money and high interest. We hope they will begin to see who are their friends, and whose party plans are leading them on to starvation and ruin.

The Two Youngs —The following may ho seen in Vol. I. of “ Parnell’s Catches,” on two persons of the name of Young, father and son, who lived in St. Paul’s Church-yard : the one was au excellent instrument maker, and the other an excellent performer on the fiddle. “You scrapers that want a good fiddle, well strung, You must go to lha man that is old while he’s Youny; But if the same fiddle you fain would play bold, You must go lo his son, who’ll bo Voting when lie’s old. There’s old Young and young Young, both men of renown, Old sells, and Young plays, the best fiddle in town; Young and old live together, and may they live long, Young, to play an old fiddle; old, to sell a now song !"—Dohourg on the Violin. An Ohatorical witness.—The following very amusing scene took place at the Police Cor reclionallc in Paris. Two men being placed at the bar the case against them was thus started: Witness—l was going down the street St. Ja ques, when I perceived a stranger leaning against the rails of the hospital, rather the worse for liquor. Two persons were supporting him, one on the right and the other on the left. When they saw me, they want away suddenly. Here is a lovely scene, said I to myself; here are too men perform ing the most sacred duties ofholy matrimony, in affording assistance to a man incapable of taking care of himself. This pure refleclion was, how ever, soon followed by the most sinister suspicion. In giving aid to the drunken individual, perhaps the two strangers were about to rob him —an ac tion, gentlemen of the injury, altogether bad, a cowardly crime, destitute of dignity, for, as it has been observed in ancient history— President, (interrupting)—Never mind ancient history, if you please. Witness—Very well, just as you please. To proceed. The notion often came across my mind that I was destined to play a great part, and that, if any crime was about to be committed, it was to me tnat the glorious task was assigned of punish ing the guilty, and saving the innocent, To con -1 coal myself behind a column was the action of a moment, for great men conceive great things at critical epochs. President—to the point—to the point, if you ! please. 1 Witness—Very well, just as you please. Pre ' scntly I beheld from the place of my concealment the two prisoners return, with villainous as pect, and approaching the victim of the rosy god ofwine, they commenced picking his pocket. Mr. ’ President, I was not alarmed, for I had two vigor ous sons, the very picture of myself, with me. We rushed to the spot; and animated by the most elevated thoughts for the protection of society and all overwhelmed with wine, we seized the 1 two robbers in the very act of mal-appropriation. ’ Every good citizen would have done the same, I imagine; for our beloved country and the public at large, are equally i..forested in the safety of the streets of a capital which is not only the cen ! tre of Europe, but the centre of civilization, and, as I thing, the capital of the entire world—ln the course, I pursued, I believe no blame cun ho ut -1 tachcd to me for having taken upon myself, in 1 conjunction with my two vigorous sons, the very j picture of myself, to repress crime ; and to be come the protector es an inoffensive drunkard. * At all events, conscience does not reproach me. 1 President—Why should it] On the contrary ; much praise is duo to you. " Witness—That is just what I said to my self; nothing in the world ought to hinder an 1 honest man from obeying the cry of conscience* President—Well, well! you have disclosed all ‘ you know—sit down. ; Witness—And to allow any personal motives to hinder me from acting would be to iucur gen ' eral disapprobation, fur, President—Enough, sir; sit down. Witness (continuing)—For the social wants ■ requires one to— President—sit down. i Witness—Afford mutual help, which— I President —will you sit do vn—down] ! Witness—Alone can be of real protection to s citizens — President—Officer, rhakc the witness resume his seat. Witness (speaking as he is led away by the - officer) —Against the spoliation of the nocturnal ; robbers. Officer (forcing the witness to his scat) —Come, come, we have had quite enough. Witness (rising a minute or two afterwards) — Who infest Paris. ’ The witness having thus completed his oration, Jjd not further interrupt the proceedings. > “Be-UELIGIOUS ! IS THE POT BOILED ]” e In the good old days ot the blue laws, when ■, it was a crime lo smoke a pipe within a mile -of the church, or do any kind of cooking on i- Sunday, there lived in Connecticut, old Mister Dowii-on-your-knnes Smith, with Ins excel lent wife Mistress Rcpent-of-yonr-sins Sini h. 0 [lt may be proper here to remark, in brackets, '» that names ot this kind were given to keep J the owners thereof in constant remembrance! ' of their religious duties. We deem it a wise 1 regulation, and the next adopted child we 0 iiave—all our little responsibilities are adopt r e d, reader—shall be! called “Don’t-forgct-to attend-cliurch-regularly,” &c.] This venera - hie couple undertook one Sunday to receive e the elders of the church, and have a good hot e dinner, the law to the contrary notwithstand !* Jn-r. We are sorry to record the fact, but so 8 it was, and as fa.thfdl historians, we aro com -11 pel led to pen it down. So they called “Be religions,” their son, into their council, and 1 told him their plans. “Be-religious, now d’ye y be sure to boil the pot ’zactly at ’levcn.” q Be-religious did’nt like this way of being as religious. He thought it was’nt fair to push so largo a portion of the sin upon bis should ers ; the rogue had enough to crush him al n ready, for he had allowed the beer to work, ! ° and the cat to catch mice, on Sundays. How ever, he could no! help himself. 1 3 The Smiths went to meeting, and, with w about two dozen cl her Smiths, listened to a highly edifying discourse upon the “wheel within a wheel," which meant the great sms and little sins of the people. As one of the wheels, cooking on Sundays, was named; and we presume one of the lilllo wheels was to eat it alter it was cooked. The preacher’s name we cannot give. We nave searched every history of Connecticut, from tho time of queen Anne, but can get no clue to it. Al tera psalm, upon the ancient delightful noso logical principles of music, was snug, the con gregation pcacably retired “A line sannunt from the elder, today said one grey headed dame to another. “lluxulent,” replied the other—who always beautified her English in the true over-the wafer style—“Werry huxulent! ’E made the veol vithin ■ha vecl happear worry rational. Who would ’a thought that the groat vecl meant heating on Sundays 1” “Humph!” said Mr. Smith, who overheard the last remark. “Humph 1” echoed his wife. They arrived at the house—bolted the door —and went straight lo the kitchen. “Be-religious, is the pot boiled !” “Believe its bilin.” The old lady looked, and found that it was’nt his fault if it did’nt “bile;” for he had partly filled the great washing kettle with water, and, with the empty dinner pot in it, had hung it over a rousing fire. Upon exam ination, however, it was no] sufficiently boiled for dinner. Mr. Smith ffjnv lo the birch stick over the maiillc-shelfi but his better half suggested to him that God must have im pelled "Be-religious” to lip act, so that the “pot within a pot” might illustrate more clear ly “the wheel within it wlipel.” The above veritable fuel vve received from a groat, great, great grandson, on tho father's side, of Mr. Smith. It may he, therefore, re lied on as correct* We believe the name now is nearly extinct. “All men, it is said, are h*ru free; this is so far from being true,that llio first infringement of this liberty is being born ut all, which is imposed Upon them without their consent, given hy themsolvs or their representatives; and it mfy be easiy shown that man by tho constitution ofnis nature never Subsists a free and independent yeing from the first to tho last moment of his residence upon this terrestrial globe; where during tho first nine monhts of his existence, he is confined in a dark and sultry prison, debarred from light and air; till by a habeas corpus brought hy some kind deliverer he is set at liberty / hut what kind of liberty duos he then enjoy] He is bound hand & foot, fed up on bread & water for as long a period; no sooner is he unbound that ho makes so bad a use of his liberty, that it becomes necessary ho should ho placed in a stale of severest discipline ; first under a nurse, and then under a schoolmaster, both equally tyrants in their several departments, by whom he is again confined without law, con demned without a jury,and whipped without mer cy. In this state of slavery he continues many years, and at tho expiration of it, he is obliged to commence an involuntary subject to some civil government, to whose authority he must submit, however ingeniously he may dispute her right, or be justly hanged for disobedience to her laws.” From the New York Journal of Commerce. Mr. Editor—ln tho course of conversation with a prominent member of this community, who sides with the Administration, he gave ut terance to tho fallowing dogmas; ■Specie, said he, neither can nor need be sent to England! far these reasons; •1. A largo house failed on Saturday, which is i indebted to England nearly one million of dollars, [ and that amount against us is cancelled. ‘2. All other houses indebted to England who , fail, if any should, will, cancel in the same way other largo amounts. ’3. If American stocks should bo returned to us, they will sell at a, loss of fifty per cent, to the English holders, and so much less specie will be wanted for remittance. ’4. Our importations next fall will be fifty mil lions less than those of the spring, and remittan ces wilt not be wanted, ’5. Wo shall send on our cotton and require . payment for it, and in specie only, and then the Bank of England may curtail us much as it pleases, but it will not make us call on Mr. Bid . die to help us any mote.’ Such, Mr. Editor, were the words, as nearly as I could pen them from memory, arid I want to know if this is tho general mode of argument , adopted by the Executive officers at Washington] If it be, wo may account for the Continuance of the Treasury order, and similar ebullitions of change in our fiscal matters that show themselves ■ ‘ and anon.’ Yours respoctfully, 808 SHORT. We know not exactly lo what extent the mo rality oi tha New York Jackson men pervades the Executive administration here, hut if we aro to judge from the columns of his official, we should say that the same feeling exists in the two places. The Globe of a few days past devotes to the “ execration ” of tho public, tho unfortu nate merchant whoso honesty should so fur over come his acquisitiveness as to induce him to sell specie abroad to pay his foreign debts. The morality of the country would seem lo have been improved hy flic Jackson rule, in somewhat the same manner that it improved tho currency. We feel hound lo take tho official organ of the Government as a strong indication of the deleni oratiun of morals. Unless there was this deter ioration, it is impossible that such sentiments as that journal advances could ho sustained by any parly, or by any bo’dy of men who did not openly proclaim their release from every obligation of honesty and virtue.— Washington Reformer . A duel which was to have taken place a few days since at Brussels, was terminated in rather a curious hut not unsaiisfactory manner. Previously to tho appearance of the combatants on the field every attempt to effect an amicable arrangement was made by the seconds, but in vain. The heligeronts, however, having taken up their respective petitions, accident put an end to tho affray.— The rain had rendered the ground extremely slippery, and the two coinha ants' in advanc ing each a stop, according to agreement, lost their footing stmulianeously, and fell sprawling inkhe mire. One of the seconds immediatc exclaimed, —“There, you are both on our beam ends, a/id there let the matter end.” His hint was taken, and the quarrel terminated in the adjournment, both of principals and seconds, to a reslorateur's in the neighbour hood of the bloodless field of battle. Jackasses for Sale. — The following list of Jackasses are advertised in the Lexington (Ky.) Observer and Reporter—“ Achilles, Blue Jirn, Magnum Buiium, Mammoth Warrior, General Jackson, General Gaines, Ulysses, General Scott, Colonel Johnson, Jim Crow, &c.”—By and by, we shall see the following added to the list of these great names—Martin Vim Burcn, Amos Kendall, James Watson Webb, M. M. Noah, James Gordon Bennett, &c. The latter breed will fetch a high price.— Bennett. A gentleman who arrived on board one ofthe hundreds of steamboats that come to our city, yesterday asked a negro whom he saw upon the Levee, if he knew where Bishop’s Hotel was. "Lord, rnassa,” said the nig, “I wish I had as many dollars as 1 knows whar dal is.” | “ Then take my trunk, ’’ said tho stranger, “and I’ll follow you.” A Thundering Name. —One of the cheifg i ot the Winnebago Indians must be pretty • much of a screamer, to judge from his name • which is nothing more nor less than" Little , Blue Whirl, ig Thunder.” ■ A Distinction.— “ Sir, do you mean to say I lie,” said a person to a French gentleman.— i “No ear*.
