There has been considerable excite
ment at Parkesburg, in this county, in
consequence ofthe shooting of Hiram
Magianess, of that place, on the night
Of the nth uit =, by some persons con-
cea!cd in car standing on sidcing of
the railroad, supposed TO be blacks
who had heard MIR M. charge a colorcd
lnan of the place with being a fugitive
slave.
It is hoped that the perpetrators of
this outrage will be detected and pun
iShed.
Ifthis was done by negroes, it is not
improbable that they have been prompt
ed to it, by the encouragement of their
abolition friends, who in their public
addresses have encouraged them 10 re-.
sort to violence and bloodshed rather
than submit to the Fugitive Slave Law.

GLoRGIA ONCE FREE STATE.---A
Mr.. Bryan, of South Carolina, in pam
phlet, styled THE Rightful Remedy
mentions the curious fact, probably new
to most of our readers, that Georgia was
for twenty years not only free but a
white colony. About the year 1882,
the trustees for establishing the colony
prohibited slavery, under which policy
it languished until 1852, when they re.
signed their charter to the King, In
thirty years after the introduction OF
slave labor, there were 10000 slaves in
the province.
