The Grand Jury of Richmond county, in
Georgia, have wisely presented as great and
growing evil, the fraudulent packing Of Cotton,
which has long existed, to the injury of that
state. To obvia,e so shameful practice, they
suggest the passage of an act by the Legisla-
ture, compelling every person owning gin, to
record the same in the county court, and 10
give security for the faithful packing OF all
Cotton at said gin; and that the owner thereof
be further obliged to brand the bales with his
name and that of the county; previously to their
being sent to the market.

his arms.
At length, embodened by the long and patient
watchtulness OF his enemies, the Huron attempted
a more fatal aim. The quick eyes of the Mohicans
caught the dark line of his lower limbs incautousy
exposed through the thin foliage, few inches from
the trunk of the tree Their rifles made common
report, when, sinking on his wounded limb, part OF
the body of the savage came into view Swift as
thought, Hawk-eye seized the advantage, and dis
charged his fatal weapon into the top of the oak.
The leaves were unusually agitated the dangerous
rifle fell from its commanding elevation, and attert
few moments of vain struggling, the form of the
wage was seen swinging in the wind, while he grasp
ed ragged and naked branch of the tree with hi,
hands clenched in desperation.
" Give him, in pity give him, the contents of ano-
ther rifle - cried Duncan, turning away his eyes
in horror from the spectacle of fellow creature in
such awful jeopardy
"Not karnel! !" exclaimed the obdurate Hawk
eye; his death is certain, and we have no powder
to spare, for Indian fights, sometimes last for DAYS
It's their scaps, or ours-and God who made US
has put into our natures the craving after life !"
Against this stern and unfolding morality sup
ported, as it was, by such visible policy, there
no appeal. From that moment the yes in the TO
rest once more ceased the fire was suffered to de-
cline, and all eyes, those of friends as we'll as enc
mics, became fixed on the hopeless condition of the
wretch, who was dangling between heaven and
earth. The body yielded to the currents of air,
and though no mulmur groan escaped the vic
tim, there were instants when he grimly faced his
foes, and the anguish of cold despair might be trac-
ed, through the intervening distance, in possession
OF hs swarthy Hncaments. Three several times the
scout raised his piece in mercy, and often prudence
getting the better Of his intention, it was again ST.
lently lowered. At length, one hand of the Huron

YOU annSunce to me the dehnitive decision OF
the President with regard to the Convention
for the more effectual suppression OF the slave
Trade, which had the honor to submit LOT the
acceptance of this Government, on the 9th OF

benevolent efforts which have been employed IN
a cause SO dear to humanity, may venture 10
assure you that, however deeply Ills Ma)est!

fortunate issue Of this business as IN no wise

nervousness Of this impression, by showing that

alluded to, in the form Of an appeal, not OF a

The denunciation of the Slave Trade as Pl-
racy, by the British statute, was made, by thls
Government a sine qua non 10 the signature OF
the Convention. AS far as Great Britain was
concerned, that proceeding, although perfectly
conformable to the views Of Parliament, quo
ad morality, was one of pure supererogallon,
and conferred no power towards the suppress
sion of the Slave Trade, not possessed before.
Had the Government Of the United States not
expressly desired the enactment OF that statute,
it would never have been passed, its revocation,
although certainly within the competence OF
Parliament, is now, by the interposition OF sub
