Y0n have doubtless seen all that has passed ai Washington, eOncerning ilte late CabneI eSe. These events have witIdrawn many the warm supporters ot Gen.

LumpkiM as Governor of ,he State Of Georgia oyer Gov. Gilmer, is now reduced sO certainty. Returns from all but two or three cOuoiies give him majority of upwards of f20OO-aad the few remaining counties will probably swslI the majority little. The friends of each in the egisla- inre are pretty equally balanced, and u is uncertain which PredOmiaates, lfthe Lumpkin party should have the majority, the Judges ofthe Sn,,e twho are now Crawtorcates, and among them Mr. Crawford a'mselt'i ws probably be removed and others chosen 'n their sead The Judges in that state are chosen periodically, instead of holding t,eir offices during good behavior. The result of this election undOub,- edy indicates thatihe public feeling in Georgia is Op posed to the mad and iyrannical course of Governor Gilmer with regard the Indians, nd especially in respect to the Missionaries.
 Burg9ary.--Our readers probably noticed las, week an advertisement oi Joseph Bailel Esq. of Norfolk, offering reward of $lOO for the recovery of large of money which had been stolen from his store on the Sunday night previous. Suspicion, SO far as we know, rested upon until Mir. Beordsiev Trent. man who had hitherto sustained good character in Norfolk, "proposed to consult wilch or fortune tel Ter, residing in Burlington, whose fame had been wide. y extended az successful developer of secret mat iere, land who we learn is connection of his.) He volunteered his services, and paid the old woman vi- sit. The venerable Syb looked through the stone by the virtues of which she is enabled to play the esr, and sraghtway informed the visitor where the money could be found, in the place where it had been hid, short distance from the store. The man repair ed 10 the spot, and found every of the smoncys even as it had been predicted by the soothsayer.'- This account ofthe consultation and finding is given substantially in Hartford paper. Another messenger was despatched by Mir. Batlcll to the old woman to ascertain whether she had told Treat wha, he had al edged-ehe said he had been there, but denied hay. ing told him any thing about the money, or ha. he had even mentioned the subject to her. Treat was then taken up, an investigation had before mae.tr ate. and he bound take his trial be fore the mex, Court. He will probably obtain his re,Uard. Mr. B. has however obtained the whole of his money oxcep, few doll ars.

Suffice it to say, that aged named Amos Root was Saturday last horribly beaten by a club some other weapon, which must have caused his almost immediate death. A yonng man ol the name of Jeremiah Orton, about 25 years oi age, we understand. at gathering Ofa number of people to raise coal pit, in the southwest corner of Norfolk near the Canaan line, had had quarrel with son ol Mir. Root, which he interered and separated ,hem On the break ing up ofhe party Orion. who was arm- edasi,h heavy club, asked old Mir. Root to go of with him different path from the rest of the com. pany, to como up with them in a short time, which the former did, but without the latter. Root not re. turning home that night, nor Sunday, on Monday mor"i"g search was made, and his body found near the by-pa.h, with his Lend mangled as above stated aRd his neck 5rokcn-and marks of blood discovered upon the groundswhere tho body appeared to have been dragged a lkw rods.
