1t appears from certain official docu-
ments which have been published by the
executive of Georgia, that General D.
B. Mitchell, late American agent with
the Greek tribe of Indians, was dismis-
sed from Office by the president for be-
ing concerned in the illicit introduction
of African slaves into that state, and fo,
aifording facilities to their transportation
into Alabama. The president has done
himself honor, and acted in accordance
with the sentiments of the American peo-
pie generally, in thus decisiveIy setting
the mark of his Reproduction upon pub
lie officer implicated in countenancing
and abetting the nefarious practice of in
Producing Africans as slaves into the
country in defiance of its laws, and OF
every other law human and divine.

FOR THE SPECTATOR.
TO Mr.. Precauton.
SIR--You directed something to me
in this paper, No. 90, in so polite man
ner, that it is duty to answer--more
particularly as there are no doubts, that
the rule hereby recommended, if strictly
adhered to, will be an infaliible remedy
against all such impositions as you com
plain of; many, too many of which are
In this state.
1t has been the common practice o!
the town making gentry (Which by the
by are not a few to carry their deep laid
schemes to success, by nominating as ii
were by chance, men as commits ioners,
that were likely to carry their point. In
the case you complain OF, justice could
hardly be expected, Notwithstanding the
gentlemen selected stand high i'll society
as it is hardly possible, that taking from
distant counties as they have been, that
their knowledge of the local situation,
centre ofpopulation, handsome sites, &c.
could be by them sufficiently and pro-
foundry ascertained, as necessary for such
a duty. &C little knowledge" as has
been said on much less momentous
occasion. {" is dangerous thing
Not unlikely that your suppositions
are facts, as you say" the act was obtain
ed appointing commissioners from adj
jacent counties, who were old friends, or
acquaintances, or fellow sectarians of the
persons principally interested in, and
about the town--the narrative puts me in
mind of sentence expressed in descrip-
ton of the commissioners who laid off
the seat of justice Of new neighboring
county, that they were a packed jury"
Amongst the recited descriptions, Sec
tarians are mentioned. 1t is probable
what is meant is of the same sect of re-
1igion-rather indelicate to NEEDLE with
the sacred subject in the public prints
the writer believes he discovered trans
actions from brother to brother, giving a
preference by the way of brotherly love,
that was manifestly injurious to the
worldian-and some time not insensible.
Let US take up the remedy. First, it
is unbecoming the honor Of freeman to
Quietly wear the yoke Of imposition
none are so apt to put up with such un-
manly submission as the quiet, hard
working farmers, who at the same
time arg the great victims of all those
who live by contrivance in its various i'm
positions-those of the county towns OF
the several stamps " to the contrary not
Ssithstanding." Let the people who
know themselves aggrieyed, petition the
next legislature to pass law allowing
them to vote in either three or FIVE pro-
per persons, to locate permanently the
seat of Justice Of their respective coun-
ties-and in all cases that ought to be
the method in new counties--which Will
set the new town, and all things that con-
Germ il, at rest-and Of course 1t will
thrive to an astonishing degree, TO the

DEAF AND DUMB YOUTH.

Gated at the establishment for deaf and dumb
children at Berlin. "a protestant minister
at Anspach. named Hoffman, had nine chill
,iren, six of whom were deaf and dumb.
but one whom nature had not treated with
so much injustice, was employed at Berlin
in tue department Of The mines. He waited
upon me one day, accompanied by one OF
his deaf and dumb brothers, described to
me the distressing situation of his family,
Showed me several pictures which his bro
ther bad painted, and beseecbed me to take
him under my protection. remarked in
the works OF this unfortunate young man
the germ of real talent, and Immediately
gave him commission TO make me some
copies; of which he acquitted himself admi-
rably, and for which payed him. His &C
curracy, zeal. aud good conduct, having
augmented the interest with which he had
hrsl inspired me, settled on him fixed sa-
AIRY, aad had shortly after the satisfaction
Of learning that he appropriated the greatest
portion of il in assisting his poor parents
! then determined on sending him to Dres-
den, that he might there copy the most rare
pictures in that celebrated collection; where
he spent nine months in fulfilling with the
greatest intelligence the commission intrust-
&c to him. He returned to Berlin, and lived
bonorably on the fruits of bis talents and in
dustry, | set off TOR Italy, and on my arri
