clergyman Of the city of Savannah have sign
ed short address 10 The public, recommen-
that the custom Of giving scarfs, gloves, SC
to bearers, c'ergymen and others at funerals
bo abolished. The address is as follows: at
is more or less common, on funeral occasions,
to give officiating clergymen and pail bearers,
scaris, gloves, &c. as badges Of mourning
This, IS oteDtimes, an expense whici can i'll be
borne by the family Of Tho deceased aud not
unlrsquently falls heavily on tho widow and
orphan; contributing TO increase lhoir action
by entailing debt upon them. which they can
not, but with much difficulty, discharge. This
being a well known fact, the undersigned take
the liberty respectfully to state to their fellow
citizens, that they have long seriously thought
upon the subject,-haye frequently exchanged
sentiments upon il with their ministerial brcth-
rem in other places. and ere. more and more
convinced that in every point OF view ii is desr-
able that the item Of expense alluded 70 should
be abolishcd-thoy, therefore, propose tho en-
abolish it, in this city, from this period. They
do not say they will not accept such badges
of mourning, in lime to come, (lor they are
willing TO do every thing, in their power, on
such melancholy occasions. which may be
soothing to the feelings of tho beroaved) but
thoy do say it will be highly gratifying to them,
il charpes ne ,cssarIy incurred in burning tho
dead, should no. bo increased by the item above
mentioned. 1t is believed that in this city.
hundreds Of dollars are expended, and in some
others thousands per annum, on funeral occa-
sioas which might have boen well spared
to destitute and bereaved families, or, at any
rate might have been more advantagcously APP
propriated to other objects The undersigned
would, threfore, ser iousy invite the consdc-
ration of their fellow citizens TO the subject,
and would respectfully recommend that; (when
it can be alforded) the amount which would
have been expended in the purchase of the
usual badges of mourning for clorgymen and
pail bearers, be henceforih given to some Of
those charitable institutions which are so cred
liable TO this city. This will De no u.eless
cxpcnditure-It will do real good - it will give
relief to the suffering poor-it will bring
comfort TO the sons and daughters of af-
Fiction it will we really believe be
sacrifice, acceptable; well pleasing to HIM
who is the widows COP and the orphans

!. BALLOON ASCENT. Mr.. G. Green made
bis 99,h ascent in his new and splendid ballon,
from the bowlng-green Of the Esglo Tavern,
in the city road. yesterday afternoon. II was
what was called an Equestrian Efconauiic
Ascent The balloon was inflated at lIag9crs-
ton on Monday evening, and was brought by
tow ropes from thence to the ground, at an
early hour yestofday morning. The weather
for the greater part Of the day bore rather an
unfavorabie aspect Soon after O'Clock the
atmosphere cleared, and presented beautiful
blns sky, which continued for the evening,
without being obsaured by a single cloud
TIE extensive grounds belonging to the tav-
ern bectme crowded with most respectable
company by @ O'Clock, aud an excellent band
was in attendance. Tho weather having be-
como most favorable, Mr. CGreen had deter
mined to ascend soon as possible, and gave
lae necessary directions to make preparations
accordingly The novelty OF the occasion
vas the announ cement that Mr.. Green intend
cd 10 take a snail pony with him in the car.
IN his erial voyage. A beautiful little pony.
deco; ated with bLue ribbons, was led forth
about half past 6 o'clock. amidst the greet
ing, Of The company. Tho little animal was
about three feet high and was led over the
ground by one Of Mr.. Green's men. She ap-
psarod very doce. and WAS by no means
frightened by the clanorous reception which
cha met with. About o'clock, MIR. Green
made his appearance, and all hands were in
rs1isiton 10 facilitate his ascent The pony
was placed in a new car made for the occa-
sion, with her head turnod towards The oast.
AR. Green took tho rcins. There were no
strrup irons attached TO the saddle; but Mr.
Green placed his feet on an elevation ut each
aide Of the pony, and appeared to have full
command Of the liitle animal. At ten minutes
past seven MIR. reca gave tho word array,
and the ropes were cut, aud tho pohder"us
machine rose gradually amidst the shouts OF
thu company on the gr und, and the immense
crowds which were collected outside. The
pony became somewhat restive, and plunged
and threatened to relieve herself rom the nov
ell situation in which she was pla ccd the bal
loon was. howorer, lowered Instantly. Mr..
Green kept pa,,mg his fsvorite charge on the
neck, and again vontured 20 ascend. The lit
tls animal plunged again, ba, the areonaut
coniidsd in his own dexicrity, and fearlessly
brsved the regions o! the liquid air The bal
loon now rose slowly and majesticaiiy, and
proceeded in seu,h-easterly direction. and
remained within sight for several minutes, the
sky being clear and uncloudcd. Il was sup
poscd that the balloon would descend in the
neighboushood Of Blackheath. Much anxiety
was felt for Mr.. GREEN'S safety, les, The pony
shsuld become unmanageable.

Eror.-The editor of the American is in
error, in stating that Mr.. O'BRIEN, Of Maine,
a member Of the House OF Representatives is
a Jacksonian. Mr.. O'Brien is one Of the most
de cidcd friends of the Administration, Of the
New England delegation. The Jackson men,
bcrs from Maine, are JOHN ANDERSON and
JAMES W. RIPLEY. MIR. ANDERsoN's re-
election was moi opposed-his exertions in op-
posing tho additional duty on Molasses at the
last session. created him many now friends
among the Administration party. We perceive
however, he did not receive but a small portion
of the votes of his District. The result of the
election in Mr.. Ripley's District is not known.

JACKSON AND DURR.-More than once
wo have had occasion to introduce this subject.
On this occasion we should not have noticed
it. had not the Richmond Enquirer and some
other vera cious periodicals, taken up the bus-
ness of attempting to screen General Jackson,
under The plea Of ignorance, from the charge
Of being concerned in the Burr conspiracy, and
at the same time abused those who have be-
como testimony against him. Tie defence
now is, that General Jackson was truly
engaged in the agency of supplying Burr with
boats aud provisions, 10 carry on his treasona.
BILE operations against his country, bu, that he
did not kno,o that this was the object Of Burr,
and that consequently he was hoaxed into the
scheme without his knowledge; yet so soon al
he discovered The plot, he gave Mr.. Jefferson
and General Clairbonc, immediate notice in
writing.'
This is the sole apology that is now made by
the Jacksonites, for tho Generals conduct in
carrying Oh a war against the United States,
at a time when all remained quiet and undis-
infamous rebellion. Let US now look at the
foundation Of this defence, which is alono re-
lied on TO acquil General Jackson of the charge
preferred. The letter to General Claiborne,
which was his first on the subject, was dated
November l2th 1906, long after Burr had be-
come an objec, Of general suspicion, as fully
appeared by the dates Of the documents. Yet
look at this! Nearly one month after the said
l2th Of November. General Jackson is proved
to have been engaged in building boats for
Burr's use, and received him as a visitor in his
h ouse, from December / 4lh 10 December 22d,
and at his departure permitted his own neph-
ew to 60 with him on his expedition. So much
is estab 'ished by evidence that has not yet been
denied.
But we will here mention one other circum.
stance. The letter to Claiborne about which
so mucI, has b cen said, did not so much as i'm
picate Aaron Burr in the conspiracy, but was
charge on General Wilkinson. Where ti'er
| is the boasied fidelity of the General in ne di
| v,lgnc the secret? We leave our reaCers tt
form their own conclusions. .

INDIANA.-Ne have not received, (says the
Intelligencer,) all tho returns of the election,
but have received sufficient to ascertain tha,
Governor Ray is re elected Governor, by a
majority of from fifteen hundred to three thou
sand votes. II VII be recollccted that Gov.
Ray and III. II. Moore, Esq. were both Ad-
minisration men, and that DR. Candy was the
only candidate on the Jackson side of the
question and that he has received only about
one third Of tho votes in the State. We do
not believe that The vote DR.. Canby has re-
ceyed is owing TO any dislike 10 him as a
man: for he is, as far as he is personally
known, VIC believe, as much respected as any
nan in the State. Then, wo would ask, what
is the cause We answer, that it must be for
the want OF more Jackson voters in the State
OF Indiana.
We learn by the las: Indianapolis papers,
that" Mr. Blake is re elected 10 Congress from
the 1t Congressional district in this State, over
his Jackson opponent, by small majority
Mr.. Jennings is reelected in the 2i Congress
i onal district and Mr. Test in the 81, both by
large majorities. Both our Senators, and all
of our Representatives in Congress, are in fa-
vor of the present Administration. All of our
Senators in the Stale Legislature, we believe,
except two, and also a majority of the Repre-
senlaiives, are in favor of tho ro-eleotion Of
Mr.. Adams"
Comment OH these circumstances would be
useless. They speak for themselves they
speak u lurguage that cannot be msunder
stood Who viii hereafter say that Indiana
VIII give ner electoral vote 10 Gen. Jackson?
