Janeiro revolted on the night Of the 18th July,
and in the confusion that ensued thirty of the in
habitants were killed. The citizens were Ayips
for protection to the interior and to the shipping in
the harbor; every English and American vessel
was full. The Sandman consul aud family took
refuge on board the brig Arctic Of Balt,n,ore.-
several of the shops were broken open by the
troops. who were still in a state of revolt on the
18th, and it was thought that this was but the com.
Of hostilities. Business was com.
at stand; no produce was coming to mar.

SHAMEFUL PERSECUTION.

In the letter signed d. C. MLeod, in our
paper ofto-day, will be found an account of
the further prosecutions which the mission
aries to the Cherokees have had to suffer
from the Christian people of Georgia on
territory over which the people of that State
have no more right of jurisdiction than they
have over the left limb of the moon. We
intend, next week, 10 give further detail
of the transaction, in a letter written to the
Editor of the Cherokee Phenix by S. A.
Worcester, one of the Missionaries, who is
personally well known to many of our read
ors. These outrages, let it be remember
ed, are sanctioned by the present ,cisc and
humane head of our National Government,
who dismissed Mr.. Worcester from the Of
fee of Post Master, for the express purpose
of atfording the authorities of Georgia an
opportunity of wreaking their vengeance
upon him. The Boston Courier says, ave
have indeed fallen upon evil times. We
could have no better evidence of an unright-
eous cause than the means adopted to main
tain it. This Cherokee land will be cutse
to Georgia. Its soil will prove barren; its
gold sand and pebbles: its people will new
er be happy upon it, for the blessing OF
Heaven never did light upon the head OF
one who oppressed the feeble for the IN
Just Judge and the avarcous servant there
is another reward"

COL. JOHNSON'S LETTER.

= We have published, in another place, the
reply of Col. r. NJ. Johnson to the state
r ment of ex-Secretary Ingham. 1t is Of but
little consequence, except, that it does con-
firm that statement, in every essential par
ticular, notwithstanding the great effort to
give contrary impression. The pretence
that the proposition was made to the heads
OF the Departments on his own responsible
" does not amount to any thing. He adj
mlts that he went with the assent of Gen.
Jackson, after conversing with him and get
ting his views on the subject, and he would
not have dared to make any proposition
which he did not first feel authorized by
the roaring lion" TO make. After all. we
have only Col. Johnson's authority for his
version of the story, while, on the other
side we have that of three gentlemen, the
word Of either of whom is, to say the least
of it, as worthy Of credit as that of Col. John
son.
FIRE. A two-story dwelling house with
the wood shed and barn attached 10 it, in
New Worcester, the property Of William
Stowell, was consumed by fire on the after
noon of the 18th inst. The fire probably
took by spark from furnace in the back
part Of the house, and had made such pro-
gress before the inmates, who were in the
front part, were apprised of it, that all the
furniture in the upper part of the house and
some in tie lover part was destroyed. The
house was occupied by two tenants, who
we understand, have lost about $500, each
and had no insurance. horse in the barr
was badly burned.
