MURDER


In previous paper we gave an ar
count of what was then supposed to be
the accidental burning of the dwelling
house OF Mr.. Henry Lewis, Of Prince
George, in which that gentleman was
consumed. We have since been inform
ed, that, some suspicion having been ex-
cited, an investigation took place in the
early part OF last week which resulted in
the committal to prison of five of Mr..
LIS. slaves, on charge Of murder. 1t
appears, from the partial confessions of
the negroes. that they entered the house
fittfiutPe1r MIA If bad retired to rest
his money and some valuable articles,
and then set fire to the house to prevent
suspicion. The property was found in
the places designated by the culprits.
They are in the hands of Justice and
there, for the present, we leave them.

Snakes and Cab6dges.-One OF our
subscribers has sent to our office snake,
measuring fifteen inches. He was
discovered snugly coiled in q cabbage,
which his domestic was preparing for the
table. In dividing the cabbage with a
knife, she accidentally cut off his tail,
and he, to save his head, precipitately
quit his quarters, and took to the open
plain of the kitchen floor, where he was
soon despatched after the manner Of wo-
man folk, with broom.
He is formidable looking chap for
his size, but hardly fat enough to have
made a rich gravy, even if it had been
his fate to have boiled to death in the
cauldron. Drawn butter is considered,
we believe, much more delicate than adj
der sauce, although some Indian cpl
cures prefer the naturalization Trans
cript.

STATE ELECTIONS.

GsorgiG.-Returns from &C counties, give
Wilson Lumpkin a majority Of about 1900
votes over George r. Gilmer, for the office
Of Governor. This resuscitation of the Clark
party in that State, in the person of MIR
Lumpkin, who was recently bitterly de-
nounced by VIM. Fl. Crawford, is one ofthe
fsigns Of the times" which we cannot com
prehend. The complexion of the Legisla-
turo ofthat State is not yet ascertained.
Neto Jersey election in this state
has resulted, as far as heard from, decidedly
in favor Of the National Republican party.
There remains no doubt that the majority Of

determination never TO abate in his efforts.
until he had stripped it of its arbitrary au-
thoritty. The failure 10 repeal the 25th sec
ton, he imputed to Hemphill, and others of
that stamp; double-faced friends on whom
no dependence could be placed. Mr.. Ser
geant was then pleading in the Supreme
Court on the Georgia injunction case The
anxiety OF the President on this subject was
intense. He knew the sentiments of the
jackson Judges-but reprobated with great
severity the conduct of the Chief Justice for
admitting the case. He conceived it entirely
political movement to put him down, and
without regard 10 truth or respect for the dig
nifty of his office, he vented the most oppro-
orIous Invectives upon Congress, Mr.. Ser
geant, the Quakers and the Judges 1t was
evident, that he harbored decided hostility
against the powers and functions Of the SUI
Preme Court-which he seemed to think,
from the tenor ofhis observations, to hold too
much OF the authority Of Government from
his own grasp, and divide empire with him.

LATEST FROM EURoPE.-Thc packet

ofthe o3d ofAugust and London of21th.
They contain little intelligence Of mo-
ment The Emperor Of Russia, it APP

with the view of strengthening his prepa-

don Sun Of the 22d, has paragraph
which if the intimation it contains be au-

the loan unnecessary. "The Courier
Francais," says the Sun, "mentions, with
confidence that the great powers have
decided on recognizing the independence
ofPoland."
The news from Warsaw is to the 10Th
of August. Paskewitsch with the main
body OF the Russian forces, is still at
distance of about fifty miles from the Po-
lish capital. 1t is said by so:nc, that his
aim is TO cut of the supplies from War

Poles by destitu,ion and famine. He en-

Blight coral rocks arc round her,
Aud where she sleeps are pearls;
But her mother, if she found her,
Would not know her raven curls.

Who feared no tempest's frowu
