From lA* Soutkcrx Rmrjrr
TO THE CITIZENS OF PUTNAM
COUNTV.
A report has recently been circulate.! a
m«>ng you, charging ml with having «cilfuUy
misrepresented facts in reference to ttie ofti ■
ttal conduct of Gov. Schley, for the purpose
of injuring Ins character before the |ic«p!e. ]
.The truth of tins charge issoughtto be minis
out upon the statements of hta Excriicin y
rurttisheJ for that purpose. The facts !•■ which
It relstea are three I have frequently i-Uted
that while on my march to Florida, i.i the
spring of 1830, 1 area authorised and ina rutt
ed by Gov. Schley to purchase in M icon cer
tain clothing for the company under my com
mand. and that after 1 had made the purchases
in pursuance of his directions, he refused to
pay for the clothing, as he had promised me
and others he would ; whereby | have been
compelled to pay for the same out of my indi
tidualfunds, contrary to the plighted faith
of the Chief Magistrate of the State.
Gor. Schley demca the truth of my state,
toent, and ha» requested some of his friends to
aay to the people of Putnam county, that he
gave me no authority to make the purchases
referred to. When I first heard this report, I
passed it in silence ; treating it as one of the
many infamsua falsehoods, which aro annual
ly circulated in our county to injure and du
(eat my election. The untiring industry wiih
which it ba« been pressed upon public alien
tion, and the mighty importance which li is
been attached to the denial by some, as com
ing from the Governor of the Slate, constitute !
my reasons for deviatin'; from the course lj
had poi ited out to myself in passing unnoticed
Ihw pitiful slander.
I take this occasion again to slain what I
have before declared, that Guv. Schley upon
the occasion refered to, did give me the aulli
airily to purchase a portion of the clolhirg pro.
■cured in Macon, foraouic ot the members of
any company, whilst engaged in the Semi
hole campaign; that alter I had purchased he
refused to pay for them ; that after an act of
the Legislature had been paused, authorising
V.ie payment of ihnm, ho refused to make it,
«nd the whole debt has, in consequence, fa 11m
wpon mo.
When I first heard the report of tins denial
1 waa much disposed to question it Gov.
ticlilcy had not boon misunderstood in what
lie hud said, for I knew full well that he was ,
fcnniciousof ili*; truth oCmy hlMoinciil. to
ovoid the possibility of doing him wrong, be.
fore replying lo lli«! |*ravo accusation which
has been made sgainst me. 1 inquired of Gov. j
Uchley whether he had authorized it nr not,
and received fur answer that ho‘hind said in
imbalance that ha had not atUhuria id me to |
■make the purchaacs.”
The ’charge having thus linen avowed by (
Ida Excellency, self respect, and tho past of. ,
•ficial reUton which I have borno to you, re- |
.quire me to defend my nwu lepulatiou. ,
The tact*connected with ihia matter arc ,
hricOv these: Owing io the very short time ,
*llo vedi»y Company for prep iialien for tbo t
campaign in Florida, whdt is known to you |
nil,the miubcr lobe provided for, and the j
■limi'ed facilities afforded lor that preparation, |
si large portion of Us members were destitute i
•ofsuitable clothing. Loth (or the w-ason and (
tho service Upon niv arrival at Millcdgcvdle ,
■Gov. Schley imdru led mu to furnish all such ,
■of my men as weru wanting lliem, with over- |
coast, remarking, at the time ho oid not know ,
-whether he had tho power by law to furnish
llwm or not; bat he whuuld pay for them out ,
of the funds placed at Ina disposal either by ,
tho Secretary of War, or tbo Tresurcr ul the ,
Mute, and throw hunselt upon tin: people lor (
Justification. i
In consoq'ienco of these ins'ruction*, I pur- t
-chased in Mdledgeville leu ovor.cuats, winch
where all that could bu procured there, and
.fir these ll»C Gov. paid without the slightest
licsilaiion. 1 informed him >d thu deficiency
♦till existing, and asked leave to supply it in
Macon. This authority was readily granted,
•as 11lieu believed, with instruction* to pay for
them with drafts on the Executive, payable at
anglit, with an assurance that lire drafts would
be promptly met.
Tho liberality and good feeling of our fel-
Jow-ciliwno had lurrnslietl most ut ihu moil
svilli blankets, had prov ded tents, camp equip- j
jigc, c.mkiug utensils, tor all ot winch 1 s
■was ms'ructod to a>lt pay, ami to hold tho mo-1
nay when received as a fund tor the use ol the
■Company. I presented the account, and Gov. I
■Schley immediately paid every do lur doman
• ■ed.
When I reached Macon, the over coats
were purchased; being selected of the roars*
•esl and cheapest materials in the city. 1 hro
■the patriotic and high-minded liberality ottlir
.merchants ofihal place, they worn procured
«t an advance ol leu per cent, on the Now.
York cost; some few other articles of mWis.
I eatable clothing, aome additional canipequi.
page and couUmg utensils, were purchased,
and sumo trifling expense incurred tu fitting
■up the public arms mmy possession. 'I hoso
last articles 1 had no express authority tu pur
chase on Ihu credit ol the State, though thcro
was as much justice in the payment ot the one
at the other; and similar articles, in part had
been paid for by the Govendi; yet bad hn re
fused to pay for them, 1 should have had uo
grounds of complaint fur (he refusal. When
Tie reached Macon, 1 informed him ot my
•purchases; that I had exceeded my minority
end tho reasons why 1 bad done so G'j
expressed liunsott satisfied with what I o
alone, and staled that,had I applied, ha wOt'lu
(live given roe authority to make tho addi
tional purchases and desired mo to request an
surly presentation ot the drafts after his return
so Mdledgeville, and again promised to pay
them. I complied with his request: the holders
<jf.thejdrafls complied likewise; when, instead
of paying them, ho protested every one, and
for every article contained in them, —not be*
cause 1 had uo authority to buy them, ns he
now stales but because “lie did not feel tu
ibriniod” to pay tor them.
These, fellow citizens, sre substantially the
facta connected with the transaction. That
they are true, I do know; and (bat they are
known to his Excellency to be true, ■otwill*.
standing his denial, I likewise know. That
Jio gave me authority to purchase clothing in
Mifiedgev lie; that linade the purchases, and
that lie paid for all I did purchase there, the
records of tlie Executive Department will
prove. Can any one believe him guilty of
such gross partiality, that with a knowledge
of none, lie would tarnish with clothing one
needy man, a id refuse a similar act to anoth
er equally e«, because the cue happen® 1 to bo
fitted in Milledgeville, and the other could not
tie until ho reached Macon! I presume his
Excellency would thank no man tor such a
compliment as th.s to Ins sense ot justice or
impirtiali'y.
From the short lime allotted for prepara
tion, it seems that my company was not alone
in the waul of suitable preparation for the
campaign®; the three companies ordered to
rendezvous at Milledgeville were similarly sit
uated. In consequence ol which, the Cap
tains of each received from the Executive like
au'horitv'to purchase clothing, &.c. in Macon
In reference to that, Uapt. Brown, of the
Hancock Blues, says:
“Gov. Schley did authorize we to purchase
articles cf clothing, blankc s. mid cooking
utensils furmy men, when about to leave Mil
ledgovdle fur Florida last year. He directed
ine"to give drafts on Inin in payment, premia,
mg that these drafts should be cashed. J was
astonished on my return, to know that I key
bad been protested. Ido not recollecltu have
beard the Governor give you the same author
ity, but it was my opinion that like authority
bad been given to each command.ng officer
of a company.'’
Cspt. Foster, of the Morgan Guards, says:
“Gov. Schley did gwa nia auiliority while ]
in Mrllodgevilie, to pure lias* clothing, as wall
as cooking uienada, Sic , for my men, and aa
overcoats mold not t« procured in that place,
he stiii (hoy could bn had in Macon, and di
rected me to buy them there, and draw upon
Inin for the money. He directed me to buy
whatever waa necessary for the men, and over
coats was mcn'ioned ns oftbat character—
| Gov. Schley rein irked to me when i culled at
bis i ffi ,-c lor the express purpose of gelling
instructions an tothe purchases aforesaid, (not
wishing to get myself into a d (Acuity.) that
he had rCcogni r-d gome purchases you had
made, and hed given you aulherily to mahe
other i,though I *..l not e.-y to what extent.”
Here la not only authority tu Capl Foster
to supply A/t ni'-u m Macon with clo'hing,
cf - ', btu an admission that he had given me
■ authority to make aim !if purchases. 1 will
not ask winch Haleilior,l of hs Excellency’s
is etuiili-d in the m i»t r*!-|ieci; Hie one made
in January IKlfi, Idol he had given me the nu‘
tkority in qiie.-ii' n, or lltc one made in May,
ItWT, that l,c had g ifi.i me noanch authority.
Nor wfil I ark wh.ii pr unpin of justice is it
which justified him in provi ing suilaUy and
amply for tl.o soldiers from Hancock and
ami Morgan Con.jticr,! and excluding th sc
from Putnam.
M John Rutlie.rlbrd,a reapedabld rnCrcinnl
of Macon, Ins informed me, that while C ipl.
Foster, end myself wore making our bills of
clothing with nun, in pursuance of the Execu
tive authority, ho c-adcd upon hi.i Excellency
and informed him what wo were doing, and
that he represented we had authority from
[ him to buy tho articles on the faith of the
J Stale, and to pay for them by drafts on him,
and wished tu know if our drafts would he
I accepted, to winch he replied, that/ie had giv
en us tho authority, that he would pay our
drafts when presented, and though ho was
doubtful of his auihoniy, to do so,yet he would
make the payment, and throw himself upon
the people (or justification.
Lieutenant Joint D. Harrison, attached to
my command, was present at one of the in
terviews between the Governor and myself,
and the slates to rnc, that who.i I “reported
to his Excellency tho purchases 1 had made
in A/illodgcville, and my ability to supply
llicro the necessary quan ity of clothing re
quired for the men. Gov. Schley instructed
mo to make the lunber purchases of over
coats, which were needed, in Macon, and to
draw upon him for il.e money, and he would
pay the drafts. ’
I possess Iho testimony of oilier persons
who wero present ami heuid Gsvi-rnar Schley
give me the authority qiiesiioned, and heard
him give lu the other officers rendezvoused at
Milledgeville a similar authority; but I for
bear to offer it, and will leave you with that
which is now before you In adjudicate tlie
question of veracity, which Ids Excellency has
thought proper to provoke, i have but one
request to add, that when those who feel hon
oured in the vocation, in seeking to blast my
character upon the statements of Gov. Schley,
arc engaged in thoir dirty work,they will do mu
the slioer justice to road to those with whom
they communicate, the evidence 1 have here
presented. Cun Ibe asking of an honorable
man 100 much, when I ask him in this matter
to tell the whole truth and nothing bat thu
truih 1 It they foci that tlie gentlemen upon
whoso evidence 1 have relied arc unworthy of
credit, they owe it to you and his Excellency,
to present along with their testimony the evi
dence of thoir discredit.
While upon this subject it is proper that I
should present to you its entire history, inas
much as’the subsequent events ware drawn
down thu vengeance of Ins Excellency upon
ui“,&. pnmiolcd|lilm to the mi wort by task ot de
atroymg my character as u gentleman,to shield,
my own conduct from reproach. During tbo
last session of the Legislature, the House of
Representatives passed the following resolu
tion in reference to the debts contracted by
myself and others upon tho auiliority of thu
I Governor;
"Whereas, in the recent Heminolo cam
paign, various articles of subsistence and cloth
mg were purchased hy the ulticcrs comm Hid
ing ihe companies, a portion of which has
been paid hy the Governor, and the ballance
remains unpaid for want of hinds and oilier
isiauses, lie solved, That a committee bo ap
j pointed to consider all stich accounts, ami to
report to this House such relief as may be just
and propar, and that they have leave to report
shy bill or otlierw.se.” Gee Journal 11. of 11.
: page 105.
Tho nccoimia contracted by myself and
oilier officers, were presented before this com
mittee, and after a duo examination ot them,
a ropcrl was made by the committee, contain
ing a resolution for their payment. In tho
meantime, a bill was progressing in the same
House tor the payment of Volunteers in the
Creek campaign; this was referred to a select
committee for revision. Tins committee, for
the purpose ol economising time and labor,
consolidated tbo objects utlhu bill and resolu
tion, into one bill, and it passed through butt)
branches of the Legislature, encountering
more opposition from the Executive than any
where else.—The bill prolcssed to bo "an net
to provide (or the payment of volunteers in
th : s State, in certain cases, far services, loss,
and expenditures during tlie late Creek and
Gominolo campaigns, and to point out the
manner of doing the same.” That act con
tained tho following provision; Gee acts 18H0,
p. 22, sec. 5. "That his Excellency the Go
vernor be and ho is hereby required to pay all
accounts for subsistence, forage, annmiintiuii,
CLotbi.no, touts, camp equipage, cooking
n'cnsils, and medicine and hospital stores,
transportation, and all necessary expense in
curred in filling up the public arms, which
may have bcc I contracted by tbo command
ing o(h'.' er of any company battalion,regiment,
brigade e' r division, or by tbo Quarter Mas
ter” of oithe,‘ of them thereof; for the use of
the same, cilh.'r of the Creek or Geminole
campaigns, or it' the Cherokee counties ol
this Stale, cither before or after they had
been mustered into In* service of the United
States; Provided such payment lias not been
made by the United Matt ft Provided his Ex
cellency shall be satislied4l, *t they had been
purchased in good faith." ,Another section
provides, "That all accounts u.'dcr the act
shall bo audited by ihe Complrollb. 1 ’ General,
who, upon cviJenco of their roasona.'lcness,
under « liberal construction ot the net, shall
recommend the same to bo paid, to the Q«.’v
ernor, who shall thereupon draw his warran,
upon the Treasury for tho same.”
Under thu provisions of this act, 1 expected
lobe relieved from a liability forced upon me
by his Excellency, and accordingly presented
my debts to the Comptroller General for set
tlement. In that olfice 1 tound every just dis
position to enforce the provisions of the law.
Ho was satisfied of the reasonableness of my
expenditures*, and was willing to audit my
accounts; but as the Governor had concurrent
action with him, tn reference to the 'oywl
faith " in which the puichas s were to be made,
in respect tor the opinion* wh ch tu ght be
entertained by the Executive, as to tlie char
suer of c.atms to be pitd, th* settlement was
tor the. present deferred. Gome short tune
after; I again called upon the Comptroller
Geoerul. Isi ill lound that Hie interference ot
the Governor prevented a settlement. 1 then
called upon Ins Excellency, who 1 found un
willing lo do any thing whatever; I e was not
satisfied to judge es the "good faith," but
must judge of Ihr "reasonableness” of the
(■un bares likewise." Hu in that seemed to
have but one view about the whole mailer,and
that w as, io make those who had purchased
iqion las au’liunty clothing,&c. for thetioops,
(ray the debts, out of their own fund*. He
promised me, however,to withdraw all farther
opposition, mid to permit the Comp'fuller
General to determine upon the rh-trader of
be accounts.
Tbi* promise was made to me, but it wax
never kept. Fur in a short lime after, still
prrsutmgjin hi* opposition, the Comptroller
General declined auditing any o(the account*, j
in re*peel for his opinions, and published a 1
•otics of his determination, promising « re-
Icrenc of the subject to the next Legislature-}
In consequence of the intcrfcrrcnce of Gov j
Sr.hley, by tho assumption of powers nol (us
own, by hi*di obedience of liie law in the
second (dace, and Ins unredeemed premises (
in the first p'see, the amount of pill-chases ot
clothing and oilier necessaries (or my compa
ny, in most part authorized ay hint, and all ap
proved by him, have fallen upon me as an m
dividualt tnd I hart! already paid near 5100

have Im-c<ii purchased hy me, but for the au- I
IhoritV given by him, clothing which he pro-1
tnioed to payi for which the lgtgisl.ilurn, by it.-1
atr-g, with Ins approval, subsequently required
him to pay, for but which, in {violation of all
g-iod faithi and m lire very face of (lie law,
ho persists in refusing to pay one dollir for.
And now wlich I complain ot this injus
tice, the c complaints ore sotlglil to bb stiff-d
by degrading nly character through tho influ
e ice of liisli gli offijial avion. And this is
done to shield his riwd Unjust and illegal con
duel Irom fcproacli. His own act made me
the purchaser of the clotliin /; Ins own act,
by tbo mode of payment pointed out by him,
placed me in a situation tu become pcmonal y
liable therefor; his own act, in leCusing to
pay the diafts, mads me most unjustly nsvuino
that liability ; bis own act, in approval ot that
of the Legislature required him to relieve me
from that liability ; ami yet Ins own act refu
ses that relief, and lias forced from my individ
ual fundi the means of payment fur these ar
my supplies.
Fo low-citizens 1 have no tears to shed fur
the loss of ihe money. If my country deman
ded the sacrifice, it tin boon freely made.
Insignificant ns they both arc, my person and
my purse arc ever subject to its demand. But
my character, which is dearer than both, shall
never be sported with by any man, however
sacred the ermine of his office. It is undeni
ably truoilint Gov. Schley did give me llieou
tlionly to make the purchases of clothing in
Macon which 1 did, and no denial of Ills can
change the facts. Your ft llow-citizen.

FOR GOVERNOR.
CEOKfiIK R. GILTIEH.
The Van llureu presses* have essayed to claim
great credit fur Gov. Schley on account of his
conduct in the Creek campaign. Wo can see
nothing in it entitling him to our admiration as a
great General or a skilful pnanager j but wo can
point out a number of hi* acts in the highest de
gree reprehensible not only in that, but also in
relation to the Florida Campaign. The reader’s
attention is directed to the address of Capt. Jjs.
A. Meriwether to tho people ot Putnam county,
ill to day’s paper, and hs will then tied tho evi
deuce of Gov. Schley’s bad faith to lbs officers
commanding the companies that went to Florida
—indeed we might apply with ail truth, a harsher
epithet than a more want of good faith. Ho au
thorised those officers to purchase a number of
necessities for the use of the volunteers under
their command, and directed them to draw upon
him for tho amount. They did so, but guess
their astonishment at finding on their return from
Florida that theii drafts had been dishonored hy
his Excellency, and the payment for tho articles
furnished thrown upon the olficcrs themselves !
This is one instance of his bad treatment of
volunteers—there aro a number of others. The
Buiko Hussars, a cavalry corps, formed for the
purpose of entering the Seminole campaign, ten
dered themselves to Gov. Schley, but received no
reply. They wrote to him again, but still no re
ply! To their third letter he deigned to reply, but
it was then too late, us tbo requisite number of
men had been obtained, tlie services es others be
ing accepted who tendered them subsequent to the
Hussars. Upon the breaking out ol Ihe Creek
war, the company marched immediately to the
scene of action, under the general call for volun
leer*. I'pon arriving in Columbus, the captain
called un Gov, Schley, and informed him that his
company was ready to fro mustered into service.
Ho was received with a formal coldness and indif
ference, totally unworthy of the Governor of a
State, who had called uponjher sons to rally »-
round her standard. Astonished and mortified at
auch a reception, the Captain retired, and called
again ihe next day in company with aome of his
officers. They mol with a similar reception to
i but ol tho day before, and tho Governor resorted
to every expedient which his imagination could
conceive, added to a cold and disdainful treatment,
to endeavor to drive the company homo in dis
grace! But the gallant spirits of old Burke were
not thus to ha driven from the field by tho refusal
of the Governor, who had drawn them out, and
they resolved to enter tho war upon their own
expenses. After several days of parleying and
palavering on the part of the Governor, finding
. that ho excited tho universal hatred and opposi
tion es the whole campany, including his own po
litical friends, and fearing tho consequences to his
popularity, among tho friends of the brave men,
wham he was unable to drive from their country’s
service, ho graciously, but moat unwillingly, al
lowed them to bo mustered into service in Maj.
Alford's battallion. Tho bravery which ihcy dis
played, their patience and endurance of the toils
of a summer's campaign among the swamps arid
ponds of Baker, Lee, Randolph and Stewart
counties, is the best evidence of ho-v little they
deserved the treatment they received, and how
much their country may rely upon them in the
day and hour ol f.-'al.
For (ho benefit of the people of Richmond coun
y, wo publish ihe following loiter, written to the
Editor of the (Standard of Union— fur the benefit
of our friends at a distance we will say that it is a
mere electioneering trick! Tho object of the
writer and publisher was to have effect upon dis
tant parts of the Stale. That our candidate for
the senate will bo distanced is utterly untrue—we
do not believe that ho will lie beaten at all, not
wiihsltndiiig tho swaggering of the boasting,
braggadocio correspondent of tho Standard of Un
ion. The writer we presume is the same at whose
“axriPasT,” the ticket w«* announced in the
Constitutionalist. Ho is excessively fond of tho
phrase "Richmond is herself again,” but if wo are
not greatly mistaken, when he compares the polls
of this election with those of Oct. and Nov. last,ho
will find, that "Rhubarb is Rhubarb still.” We
know that the "old gable end of Virginia” is good
at a joke,great at a frolick, &. possesses a heart full
of hospitality and kindness, hut at a time liko this
when all the great interests of the country are
afloat upon th* ocean of experiment, without rud
der or compass, thf people of Richmond feci that
they need the scrrices of man made of “sterner
! Huff” than th. «. Nut that they dislike him, or i (
desire unfeelingly to cut him off. hot looking to i •

To .Marlin Van Daren;
Sir—l happened just now to pick up a paper
some fouror five weeks old, and judge what was
my astonishment to find it therein announced,
that you had authorized Mr. Livingston to propose
yourself to the Princess Victoria in marriage.
Now, sir, I ask you, whether the following is
not literally the conversation that passed between
us at our last interview]
Tho subject of matrimony coming upon the
tapis, I asked you, whether, in case of the demise
of William IV, leaving the Princess unmarried,
you would seek to unite tho dynasties of Kinder
hook and Great Britain. Your reply was, that
you would not. That there were somethings, I
think you said of a pecuniary nature,which would
make such a union desirable; but that policy de
manded that you should offer your hand to the
elder Miss Johnson, daughter of the Vico Presi
dent. You alluded to your intimacy with Mr.
Johnson, yeur contcmporanoons elevation with
him, by (ho same means and by the same friends,
and tho very high regard which you had for his
wife and children. I asked you if I might con
sider your mind as definitively made up in this
manner, and you assured me that I might. I thou
told you frankly, that as soon after the death of
Xing Williaroas decency would permit, I shoul 1 '
address the Princess Victoria myself. You high
ly approved of rny determination, and told mo, if
General Jackson had no objections, you would,in
furtherance of ray views, give me letters to the
Court of St. James. I thanked you for your kind
ness, and here we parted.
Now, sir, have I not reported what passed be
tween us correctly] If I have, I have but one
more question to ask, and that is, whether the ru
, tnor of your instructions to Mr. Livingston bo
true] Tho bearer of (hit, General Long, has full
powers from mo to make any arrangements for
. the settlement of this unpleasant misunderstand
, ing between us, which lie may think proper.
Yours, &c. 808 SHORT.
P. B.—No communication will bo received
through any member of tho Cabinet.

TEMPERANCE MEETING.
1 Mr. Editor; Allow me through the columns of
1 your paper, to remind tho public of tho Meeting
1 of tho Total Abstinence|Tcmperance Society, to
bo held This Turning, tho 31st inst. in tho Bap
-1 list Church.
It is to bo feared that the mouthers of the old
I Society will never hold another Meeting. If so,
1 ought not that fact to increase the interest felt on
' the subject of Temperance in Augusta] ft is high
• ly important that there should boa Temperance
' Society in our mids!; and if tho Total Abstinence
doctiine he tho correct one, let us adopt it. I
1 agree with tho writer that signed himself “A Cili
• ecu" in the Constitutionalist, that the subject ia
at least woithy of serious consideration, and that
’ it is highly proper that tho citizens should turn out
! generally and hear what can he said in advocacy
of that pledged. Tho Temperance cause is one
which addresses itself to every man that loves
' order and peace in Society, it is no foreign enter
prise, but one whiclt concerns us at horns, —aims
at tho security of our sons, and tho tranquility of
our firesides. In it mothers and wives are deeply
interested. Then let there boa general atten
dance, both of males and females, at this evening’s
I meeting. Those few who compose this Society
are our fellow-citizens, we know them personal
ly, an I cannot suppose for a moment but they
j are actuated by high and benevolent motives in

GOVERNOR SCHLEY.
Some lime since when we charged his Exccl
, loncy with having made an electioneering tour,
the whole trained band throughout the State let
’ out upon us, and denied in round terms the truth
5 of our assertion. From the manner in which
• wo were assailed, it was evident that the press
j. which supportsjthe Governor’s re-election deemed
it highly improper; hence their efforts to make a
different impression on the minds of the people,
8 and to set down his visit to tho account ut tire
1 Rail Road!
t A subsequent event has contributed much to
- confirm our opinion, and we should think ought
justly to overwhelm the chocks of his supporters
v of the press with shame—if the blush of modesty
p has not wholly forsaken them. Some days since
a dinner was got up in Hall county, uniler the
pretence of affording a repast to Major Charles
" H. Nelson’s Batlallion now stationed in Hall, but
e evidently for the express purpose of giving the
I Governor an opportunity of making an clection
coring dinner speech. He was there—and did
make a speech to the people who bad assembled.
c While on this subject, tve would enquire of
- some of those who profess to lie the eoandants of
r hi* Excellency, what object is to bo effected by
, stationing a corpse of armed soldiery inllio p’ea
ceablo county of Hall !—Are the citizens
of that county becoming refactory] Has the
’ State no other means of expending her money
- than the paying an armed soldiery, which is sta
e lioned in a country where no object is to bo attain
ed]—or has the Governor some friends whom he
deems it prudent to keep stationed at the expense
of tho Government, lb isting and rioting on the
e people’s money, without their rendering any ser
j vice] We have before heard it remarked, that
, they were in summer quarters for their health,
alter having endured the fatigues of a laborious
campaign in Florida. What] The citizens at
' the mountainous and healthy rogian of the Cher
-1 okee country stationed in Hall country to recover
■ heir health! The idea is absurd and preposterous.
Ifthey were so much in uced of recreation and
rest to recruit their worn down energies—why
Inot disband them ut once and let them return to
the bosom ofthen families and friends in the Che
rokee country 1
lul u. th. ipeeth; Wg am «fcrm*<! tJalU* j
Oo.enor design, (and so express. hi.n«-lf,)«nd- re
ing an additional armed force into tba Cherokee thi
counties, to avert . war in that section of the Mi
State with the Cherekees ■' , . f*'
There are ascertained to be in 'he Cherokee (cl
Circuit, eight thousand mm capable ot bearing va
arms; there are also two companies of Georgia no
militia, two of Tennessee, and one ot United sp.
Siasea. soldiery; and there are about six thousand he
Indians —moll, woman, and children ! And yet lot
tho Govcnor is determined to augment the sol- oil
dieiy lhrte, and to determined,he has said in Bit* ne<
dinner speech—that if the Department of Wor tin
would not authorize an increase of the force*, he lot
■would do it at the expense of the state— Or the in
cost what It would! Can any candid mmd re- .I.i
fleet on these facts without arming at the con
clusion, that the object to lx! attained is to afford
buxines; to a set of men at the expense of the ■
Slate, who cannot possibly effect tiny good or j •
tint iris Excellency, fearing the result of the pen- n ‘
ding elceliofl in the Slate, designs to send an arm-, P«
cd farce into the country to act over again the ' ‘ -
scenes in Murray county.
Let the pcoj»lo ponder well on these subjects, J l '
and no reflecting candid mind will do otherwise
than lend his aid to put down a man who, to make
places for hi* partizans, would send at an cnor
mous expense to the Slate, an armed soldiery
into a quiet section of the Slate —which can
effect no olher purpose than spend the people’s 1
money. .
The Governor has discovered an overweening
anxiety lor the protection ot this dear section oj ■
the State. How long has hi. Excellency .egorted _
it with such special interest! Did he do so in
1830, —when as a member of the Legislature,
knowing that thousands of individuals from all
quar or. ol tho country, were daily committing
trespasses upon the public domain & gold mines, f
ho opposed and voted against the bill to authorize J
and establish a guard, for the protcclion'of the
people’s rights, and securing 10 the citizens of the
Stale the rich mines which they have since ac- l
quired! Far from it. His Excellency then en
tertained very different notions with regard to *'
the rights of the Indians, from those which his
love for office has since induced him to sub
scribe to, ’]
From the Southern Recorder.
Messrs. Editors:—l called a few days since 1
at the Executive office, and enqti red for Ins
excellency; 1 received for answer, that he had i
gone up the country. Will you tell me wheth
er this is so or not. Some of the Union pa j
pers noticed his (saving the city, as they did, i
when you charged bun with electioneering
instead of engineering, and hence, i suppose ,
that my informant was wrong. I likewise
called at the Surveyor General’s office, and
inquired for the officer. I received for-att- I
swer, that he had not got back yet. I called (
it the Central Bank, and asked for the Teller. ,
Mr. Bishop, and was informed that he had
gone to Murray county. I saw a goodly num
ber of men lounging about the Bank, and
curiosity led me to inquire what they were
doing there, my informant stated that the bu
sincss had so increased, that the Bank found
it necessary to employ two or three more
clerks. i
Now, Mr. Editor, please tell me if these I
men gel any pay for their services, and how 1
much they deduct when they are gone up the j
country, amt got back, and have gone up to
Murray. I thought perhaps that the Govare- .
merit was sickly and travelling for its health.
A friend of mine has suggested that the Gov
ernor was holding one end of the rail road on 1
the Chattahoochee, while Mr. Bishop had gone
to fasten down the olher end somewhere in (
Murray.
1 should liketo know another thing before 1
I end, and it is, whether the Slate pay 1
Haynes the Treasurer, and Park, the Comp
troller General, while they are writing lor
their papers in lavor of their own re-election! 1
A BACKWOODSMAN.
P. S. A friend of mine looking over my
shoulder says that the Governor has quit en
gineering, and turned into reviewing and in
specting tho United States Troops up in Hall
comity,and that ho is thought to be pretty cute
at it. That last week he did the tiling as well
as the best of them, and that it went off migh
ty 'veil; but after the military part of the cere
mony was over, the Governor tried his hand
at speaking,and,at first dash went off as well as
the best blooded nag in the country, but his
mind soon gave oui.and he was compelled to
take his speech from his pocket and find out
fils track; that this little spell helped him
mightily, and all thought he wuuid do well at
last, but in a minute’s time, he tripped again,
and was compelled to haul out the uld speech
and read it through. His friends concluded
that ho was nut as smart a man as tney
thought ho was before they saw and heard
him; but notwithstanding that, it was given up
on all bauds, from tiie little they saw that
day, they belivved he would make ns good an
Adjutant us any one who had been about there
many a day.
Some said that the speech lie mads, was
the old one he read to tho Georgia Volunteers
■ going to Florida last year, ut Macon; hut
others said it was not the same one, that he
wrote this one at Athena last commencement,
and that since he had gone higher up the
1 country among his strong friends, he had
found out that there was no chance for his
election, and his mind was so much dislurd
ed about it, that he could not learn it by heart
ACCIDENT ON THE BALTIMORE AND
WASHINGTON RAIL ROAD.
The train of passenger cars which left Balti
more at nine o’clock on Saturday morning pro
ceeded within three miles and a half of Washing
-1 ton, when the flange of one of the wheels of the
locomotive engine struck the end of a rail projec
ting about half an inch out of its projrer place, and
got oil’the track. The locomotive ran about thir
ty yards in the sand, when the axle-tree broke
ami it fell over in a gulley three or four feet deep
the baggage car running on the lender, and in
stantly crushing it to atoms. The two largo cars
containing the passengers were driven against
tho baggage car, but very fortunately no person
, in them was injured.—The only one bun was a
fireman named Harman, who was thrown from the
i engine where H fell, and was burnt by the coals
which flew ovet him. Tho engineers and con
i doctors had lime to leap from the cars before the
i locomotive turned ov. r.
Theta were about fifiy passengers in the train,
among them the Hon. J. A. Pearce, of Maryland,
1 and the Hon. W. Tierney, of Tennessee, mem
bers of congress ; R.S. (Joxe, Esq. and family of
Washington, and Col. W. O. Niles and family,
of Baltimore. The accident fortunately occurred
on a part of the road which passes over a plain,
or the consequences might have been more sori
ous. As it was, the shock was so slightly fell
1 that most of the passengers were totally ignorant
of the danger they had escaped until the sudden
stoppage of tho cars caused them to look out upon
tho overturned engine emitting steam and smoke
at their side. The passengers were subsequently
conveyed to Washington in hacks.— Ealt..inter.
Loss of English Biuo Rosebud. —Tho pack
et brig Gen. Sumter, Capl. Bennett, which ariv
cd here on Saturday evening from Charleston, fell
in, off the coast, in lat. 34 18; long. 76 18, with
the English brig Rosebud, capsized and dismast
ed. The R. was from Havana hound to Louden,
with a cargo of coffee, logwood, segars, Sic. She
took tho gale on the 17th, and was overpowered
by it on the following day. Two of her crew
were lost overboard, all the rest have reached here
in the Sumter. Captain B. attempted to tow the
Rosebud into the Chesapeake, but found it im
possible to effect the object. A few boxes of se
gars and some of the sails were only saved.— lb.
Steamboat Accident. —The Cincinnati pa
pers contain a report that a boiler of tho steam
boat Ducuque collapsed, on tho morning of the
15th, on the Upper Mississippi, eight miles Mow
Bloomington, and occasioned the death of 22 deck
passengers, two cooks, and two firemen, and pro
bably others. No officer of the boat, nor cabin
pssengers, injured. The S.. Louis Republican,
of lire 16th and 17th, is silent as to this accident
