obscuring all objects around me. The sea, dashed In
to fury by the winds, and fell like mountains IN
an earthquake, its angry waters heayng up from its
very depths monsters and leviuthans that sought shell

of thunder rolled along the sky like the discharge Of

day, was boarda swift sailing ship, bound for
port, in the northern part Of South America For
two or three days. the fear dread of being pursued
and apprehended, was the absorbing emotion Of my
distracted soul and though the ship was skimming
DER the oceans blue waves with almost the swift
ness of the tempesuous Winds yet such was my ter
ror Of being taken and carried back that the speed of
the vessel, seemed to me no greater, than the slow
pace of a snail. In the course however, of few
days, as we had now made some distance from land,
this all absorbing feeling subsidized, in great measure,
and sense of the enormity of my crime with all its
consequent remorse, began to have the ascendency.
Ny mind seemed unable to embrace or to admit with
in its field of operation, any other thoughts or IDEAS

THE TREASURY. Our Legislature, having
rejected the tax bill, are now looking out for
some means to prevent the further accumula-
ton oc the State debt, and the consequent
bankruptcy of the Treasury. Asyet they have
not been very successful. The Bills laying a
tax on probate business and on insurance stock
have both been rejected. We see no good rea-
son why it should be attempted to pay the achOIe
expenses of the State by indirect taxation No
other mode, certainly, can be so equal as that
of State tax on the polls and estates of the
inhabitants, and the proportion of the expenses
of government which it would now be necessary
to raise in that way, is so small that we cannot
imagine what objection there can be to it. The
whole amount which it was proposed TO raise
would buy but one glass of mixed liquor for
each inhabitant of the State once in six months!
Yet to save this petty burthen, and to lay that
upon portion, only, of the people which the
whole ought to bear, is n sufficient object with
many of our sage legislators to induce them
to protract the session of the legislature at
great expense, and to neglect other business
which requires their attention.

"SINEws BOUGHT AND SOLD" We had the
curiosity, day or two since, to look over the
Milledgeville (Geo.) Journal of JAN 2G, and to
count the number of negroes advertised in that
paper. The result was, three hundred and sir
ty-ntne persons, advertised for sale in single
paper. Most of them were by sheriffs' sales.
They were advertised promiscuously with hors-
es, swine, mules, asses, geese, sheep, &c.
There were also several advertisements of me-
groes to let at auction, and some, of other prop
erty offered in exchange for negroes.
