MORE TROUPISM.

We learn from Milledscyille, by a letter
from one of the Editors of the Georgian, that
on the esd of November, the following resolu-
tons We're introduced in the Senate of Gcor-
gia, read, and adopted
"Resolved, That the committee on the
state of the Republic be instructed to enquire
into the expcdiency Of framing a complaint 10
the House Of Representatives of the United
States against the President, for not removing
Col John Croweii, the Agent Tor the Nation,
he having been so often solicited to do so by
the Legislature ofth State.
"And be 1t further Resolved, That the same
committee be instructed to enquire into the
expedency of framing complaint to- the
House ofRepresentatyes of the United States
against the Presidentfor not arresting and try
ing General Gains, for the repeated insults
offered to the authorities of Georgia, although
the President admitted the insult to have been
offered by General Gains"
Why do these gentlemen make halfway
business of their ultra legislation =? Why not
once, and appoint Governor Troup in his
place: Although the twenty three other states
have not this power, still, there is no doubt
that their High Mightiness of Georgia could
do it.
An atrocious and inexplicable assassina-
ton has recently been committed in Peters
burg, Virginia. Mr.. Scevia Thayre, rep
resented to be a, most respectable, useful
and worthy citizen, at peace with all the
world, was, on Tuesday evening the 2Sth
November, while returning from Presbyte-
rian church, and within a few yards of his
own house, struck down by an unknown
hand, and with sharp and heavy instru-.
ment, which penetrated his hat and several
folds Of paper, his skull and far into the
brain. In this condition, and senseless sop
the ground, he was found. He fingered
until Friday, and then expired. without be-
ing able to give any statement of the oc-
currence. No trace of the assassin, nor
clue to his motives, could be discovered.
Mr.. Thayer had in his pocket considera-
BILE sum Of money, which remained un-
touched. A reward of $3.50 is offered by
the mechanic association, for the detection
of the murderer.

Every one has heard Of the famous A.
merican Jas. Swan. This stranger, who
owns in Virginia and Kentucky, lands to
the amount Of 10, 900 acres, has undergone
lSsyears of confinement, which is said to
he some what voluntary, at St. Pelagie, and
solely 10 vex his creditors. The Tumor of
his wealth can alone give any probability
20 the tale, though it is certain, that after
anineffectuaI attempt to sell his lands, he
has been unable with all that wealth to pay
his debts, and has therefore been subject
to ourscommcrcial laws against foreigners.
1t was in vain that from four to FIVE years he
petitioned the courts for discharge, he
was always defeated. Finally, after hav>
ing compromised with the greater portion
of his creditors, and on the point ofquit-
ting the fatal walls he was suddenly recon-
mitted, after several hearings, at the suit of
one of his creditors more refractory than
the rest, and the whole cause it was suppo-
sed would be referred. Not so however !;
at the opening of the court yesterday, M.
Mermillio announced that the affair was set
tied, and that his cliant,w finally about to
be restored to liberty.
Those who have read The Hermits in
Prison." by Jouy and Others, may remem-
Der that the fact of Mr.. Swans imprison-
ment, his appearance and manner of life,
are therein detailed.

long, faithful, and afEectionate services of a
black slave. The whole inscription wgars q
delightful simplicity, and honoFs the master
that erected it, as much as TO the slave. In
the Protestant burial grounds, was affected
to read great numbers of names of men who
died IN the prime life, from Boston, Salem.
and vicinity. Multitudes Of the adventurous
and promising young men from New Eng
land have phere found rest, and it is generally
recorded that they died du fevre jaime,
of the yellow fever, or Of the prevailing cpl
demic.
Steam Boats.---The communications from
this CITY with the interior, are easy, pleasant,
and ran;d by the steam boats. More than d
hundred are now on these waters. Some OF
them, for size, accommodation, and SPLEEN
dour, exceed any that have seen the At
lar,tic waters. HAYS also found the passen-
gers obliging and friendly. Manners are not
SO distant or so stately as at the North; and
it is much easier to become acquainted with
your fellow passengers.
