From the SavdaadA Museum Of Aprl 81.
The citizens Of Savannah were thrown
into a serious state Of agitation and
alarm the past week, from the very re.
prehensible nature of some sentiments
contained Ia a charge to the grand jury Of
this county, delivered on Monday last
by Jabez Bowen, jun. Esq. judge Of the
superior court Of the eastern district of
this state and which was increased by,
knowledge Of certain observations that
had fallen from the Judge antecedent and
subsequent 10 the delivery Of the charge,
still more inAamatory. - - =

court until "Wednesday morning, when
they delivered TO the jndge,she follow

InAamed at this temperate yet digni-
fed conduct of the grand jury, the judge
instantly ordered the sheriff 10 take
them to Jail. They were proceeding,
when there arose partial cry Of I" No,
no-they shall not gon-which ives inn
mediately silenced, by the determined de-
portment Of the grand jury. At tins,
the judge pulled from his pocket brace
of pistols, impassionately exclaiming,
"Where is the dam'd rascal who dares
say, no S-shew him to me, and III
blow his brains out !" The grand Jury,
however, proceeded to jail, accomPani.
ed by most of the bar, who rose in a boz
dy and left the COURTHOUSE directly on
their departure. The bar had meeting
: immediately, and resolved that they
would at their own expense, entertain
and dine with the grand jury in the jail /;
!, that they viewed Judge Bowen's prosti-
tuition of Judicial dignity with abhor-
renee and that during the present term
they would not take their seats at the bar,
nor answer to their names, bat would at
tend the bar at all times when the grand
jury should be brought up before the
court, for the purpose Of affording such
counsel as their circumstances may re-
quire. ..-s-,s r. J. E~x =.
The citizens also held meeting at
the exchange; and in their resolutions
applauded the 6rn, digni6ed and patri,
otto demeanor Of the grand jury and
appointed committee of seven, to pro-
cure a Legislative; enquiry into the con-
duct ofjudge Bowen. m" ---, %@j
! Thus situated, and taking into view
the heinously aag;tious language of the
judge, q warrant was issued against him
for an = attempt to excite domestic in
surrection," and he was apprehended in
the ey ening between 9 and 10 O'Clock !;
but before he was taken, he attempted
TO make his escape, and flashed a loaded
pistol at the sheriff, r ~ Z.
The next morning Thursday the
grand jury, through their counsel, peti.
toned the justices of the inferior court
for writ Of Habeas corpus, which was
granted, and they were accordingly re-
leased from confinement.
