The Prospects in Georgia.

The Savannah Republican thus alludes to the
coming election in Georgia:
Our accounts from all portions OF the State are
most cheering, and inspire us with confident hope
for the success Of the American party in the APP
preaching election The issues that divide the
two parties are beginning to be understood by the
people, as error and SANDER are made to vanish
b fore the light of truth and argument. For n
ing time our opponents have lodged and evadei
The true issues OF principle, preferring to misead
the people by inlammatory harangucs upon oaths
aud rituals and secret societies Driven from this
position, and forced 10 face the real questions at
issue they have rcsorted to every species Of unfair
ness and trickery to distort the doctrines OF our
platform, and to fasten upon US opinions and de-
signs which no member Of the American party
ever, for moment, entertained. Federalism, per-
secution, treason, alfilation, with Freesolisn,
have EACH in their turn, been laid to our charge
Their orators and presses have denounced the
principles of our party as the sure precursors
of intestine war; and for fear of losing their repu-
tations for prophecy, have set about by incendary
appeals to Catholics and foreigners, TO stir up Sc
dition and strife. Yituperaiion, hlsehood, every
scheme that human ingenuity could invent, have
been resorted to in order to galyanize an expiring
faction, and TO cast odium upon NOBLE and patri-
otto party whose only object is to restore the gov
ernment to the principles of Washington and
drive back the political harpies that are now prey
Jag upon its vitals For unsciupulousness intole-
rance and abuse, the contest has but few parallels
in the annals of party warfare.
These plans Of attack, industrously pursued,
have succeeded in most OF the Southern States

is about to dawn upon the friends Of the Ameri-
can party, and that the Empire State of the

HoRRIBLE OUTRAGE AND MURDER.-We have
just received Intelligence of the most revolving act
ever committed in this section of the country.
On the evening Of Wednesday the 10th ult,
Mrs. Loyal, who resided in White county, about
four miles west of Crossville, left home on horse
back 10 visit a neighbours house. Night coming
on, and she not having returned, her friends be-
came alarmed, and began search for her. The
woods were secured in vain during the night until
about six o'clock the next morning, when her life
less body was found about two hundred yards
from the main stage road and half a mile from
her residence. Her person was shamefully out
raged, and her skull crushed 10 pieces, evidently
by two stones lying near the body. The deceased
was a woman OF unimpcacbable character, about
thrty-hye years oil age, and the mother Of six
children, which are left dependent upon an invalid
father.
There is no positive proof Of the identity of the
murderer, but the circumstances all combine TO fix
the guilt upon a runaway negro, George, who is
now Ia custody. He was spprehended on the 8lst,
about five miles below Kingston. An examination
% the evidence before Esquire Duncan, of that
place, was satisfactory to all who heard t. that the
negro was guilty, and be was committed. to the
Jail Of White county. lie was taken back by a
number Of the citizens OF that county to the spot
where the act was committed, and was hanged by
the neck until full confession was extorted fion,
him. He confessed having taken her from the
road. violated her person, and pounding her 20
death with stones. lie was then taken on towards
Sparta. How he was disposed Of We have not
Earned but u is generally believed that he viii be
summary executed by those attending him.
