The deceased died from the effects Of u

with him in this affction. G..
Lancaster, >. T..
Died, at the Warm Springs, Merriweth,r
county, Georgia, on the 9th inst, Mrs.
Eliza lane Jones, rclict of DR. Bartlett Jones
OF lancaster District, So. e..
Mrs. Jones was commun eating mem.
bcr ofihc Presbyterian Church for about
tweniy-siX years, having been admitted Ia
The Lords Supper at the Wnxhaws in 1882
abont one year after the death of hcr hu..
band. ; he was born in lancaster District.
Nov. 9th, l79l.--bred in the highest female
culture OF the times, and was distinguished
alike for the rare beauty Of her person and
the winning sweetness Other manners. No
one more happily blended dignity with
grace. Nature had done much for her; but
when 10 the charms Of nature were super.
added the attractions of grace, she presented
character which even cnSy was forced TO
admire, and malice could not venture to
impugn.
In her 18Th your she was married to DR..
Bartlett Jones n physician from Virginia,
who had recently settled in Lancaster, and
who had ntt1Incd an cmincDce in his profess
sion shared by few of his contemporaries
His reputation was wnrrcntcd by his re-
rnarkable su ccess. Such was The repute in
which he was held, that his patients have
been often heard TO remark, that the sound
OF his crutch on the steps or stairs, (for he
was lameD was enough To make them bet
ter. In 1881 she was left widow. with
family of five children. and soon after pro-
fessed to have found the friendship rnd
protection of the widows God and the or
phans gnide.
When her sons grew mp they were dis
posed TO seek their fortunes in n new coun.
try, and in l8i1 she removed with them to
Montgomery, Alabama, where she was re-
siding ut the time of her death. She had
enjoyed unusually good health until the
commencement tf the present year. when
she began TO decline. During the summer
she visited, without benefit, tho Montvalo
Springs in Tennessee; and then the Warm
Springs in Georgia, where she died soon
after hei arrival. She was prepared for her
end. She knew In whom she believed, and
IL was among the last exercises OF her de-.
parting spirit TO exhort son. who had
:::,.a . profession. &C .eii.ioa, :n hold fact
to the faith, as the greatestof earthly treas
ures. We knew her wei, and san truly
say that, take her for all In all, we have
seen few pefsons who combined more wo-
manly accomplishment. Beautiful to the
lnst-for she had slded little from age
her outward attractions were rendered moro
striking, as apt expressions Of tho amiabie
temper. the hum bic faith the delicate mod
esiy, the meek spirit of patience and the
virgin purity which reigns within. Her
memory will not soon die among those
whose privilege II was TO know her worth.

Great Excitement-Dispute between
Two States-Expected Collision of
Armed Citizens.

LOUISVILLE, October 26.-Great excite
meut has been produced by the ares, and
capture Of a fugitive from Justice. who was
found i'll Indiana. Horace Bell effected
he release Of his fthcr and brother, who
were in the Jail at Bradenhurs, Ky., in
July, for aiding runaway servants.
On Saturday. Horace Bell was taken
by party of Kentuckians, (ofliccrs from
LouisviIle,) without formal warrant, at
the Fair Grounds in New Albany, undi
ana, and brought to Kentucky. The
citizens of New Albany were rarious;y in.
dignant and excited on hearing of :be ar
rest. The alarm bells were rung. and
large meeting Of citizens assembled. A
steamboat was chartered by a company
OF one hundred persons ioi the ayoweh
purpose Of rescuing Bell.
An express has been sent from Louis
vile to l5randenburg TO put the author.
tiles and citizens on guard. Governor
Willard, of Indiada,has promised requi
siiion to the Governor Of Kentucky for
the arrest of tie persons charged in ,he
affair.
The latest reports here are that the In
diana detachment has started for Bran
denburg, heavily armed, and that the
kentuckisns, within reach Of the news,
are preparing to meet and oppose them.

Abolitlonists among the Cherokees.

agitators arc at their Cd trade out there,
busy brewing mischief, and actively ell
gagged in sowing dissension among that
people, AID arraying one portion against

purpose Of preaching peace on earth and
good will among ne

Indian against his slave holding brethren

ises. We hope that he will be able to
avert the evils that threaten the Cherokee

Gen. Jackson's Birthplace.

Lest some may conclude from the silence
with which wo have regarded certain efforts
which had their origin above here, going TO
show that Gen. jackson was born in North
Carolina, that We have waived the right Of
this District TO the honor Of being his birth
place, VIC take thIs occasion TO correct any
such impression.
When the question was raised some
months ago rs to the place of Gen. jack
sons birth, the fact of his having been
born in the Waxhaws, 5. G.. was so well es-
tablished through our paper, that nothing
which we have seen in support of the North
Carolina claim, has in our opinion, come
sufficiently near it TO require refutation.- -
Gen. Walknp has published certificates
from responsible men of this District to
establish that common tradition fixes the
place in North Carolina. These certificates
are from persons of the highest respectable
ity, but they are not direct testimony, and
80 far from their expressing the prevailing
notion in the section from whence they
hail, we are assured that many other per-
soss in the same section, equally response
tic and equally familiar with the circum-
stances, could and would give certificates
bearing directly the other way; 80 that one
Interested MS much rs Gen. WHlkup, and
will take the same trouble upon himself,
could procure and publish as formidable an
array of traditional testimony as he has
We will not go so far rs TO say that hc
might even go orcr The line, and find some
whose zeal to decide questionable point
and establish the truth of history would
rise superior to their sectional pride and
prcjudices.
Our position is this : that in the absence
of any direct testimony, Gen. Jackson's
own declarations should be taken. lie
learned the fact, doubtless, from his own
mother and whose of his relatives tcstimo-
ny should be taken in preference to hers
Our readers will remember that we, some
time since, published n certificate from Gen
Jackson hinsclf upon this point, furnished
us by gentleman from Washington City.

Movements of Gen. Walker

A despatch in orr Charleston exchanges,
dated Washington, October Goth, states
that the late movements and reported pre-
parations of Gen. VIM. Walker for an ex.
pediion to Nicaragua are exciting attention,
especially in the diplomatic circles Il is
known that he is and will be amply sup.
piled with men and money, and il is also
known that the cruisers of the British
West India Squadron have received positive
orders to intercept all expeditions against
Central America II is therefore apprehen
ded by some that the rcpulse or arrest Of
Walker BY British cruiser would lead to
n serious question between the United
States and Great Britain.

The State Fair,

Tho Guardian says of the approaching
State Fair in Columbia:
We hope that the people of our State will
put forth their best efforts 10 make our an.
proaching exhibition the best we have vet
had. From all the information we receive
from the different sections of the State, we
believe this will be the case. The citizens
OF Columbia are deeply interested in the
success Of these Fairs, and il is their duty
by contributing of their wares, works of
art manufactures, &c, to aid largely in Sc.
curing that success. A word to the wise
is sufficient.

The Militia System.

We are convinced from the demonstra.
tons lately made here, that this District is
largely in favor of the abolition Of the pres
cnt militia system, or an important modfica
ton of il. The sentiment is more potent
than we had supp ossd, and we learn that
large petitions are being prepared for pre-
sentation to the next Legislature, praying
that the present useless and expensive Mill.
tia lava may be repealed. These petitions
were in circulation on the day of general
review, and we understand that some Of the
companies, including the officers, were a.,
most unanimous in putting their names TO
them.
These petitions originated from the most
intelligent quarters and are entitled to all
the respec, due from Legislature to the
popular viii. The people have right to
speak upon this or any other subject of gen.
eral interest, and pe;itioning is the simplest
and most eflectuai mode of making their
sentiments and wishes known te the Legs
lature, and The latter, in its character of
representatives Of the people. is bound TO
respect such demonstrations.

Bribery in Elections.

The Darlington Flag makes some very
strong remarks on this subject, from which
We ma l:o the following extract:
Sand what satisfaction can it be to any
honorable man 20 feel that he occupies
the false position of one who has the
sawe of representing people, when he
represents nothing save the pcrversions to
waclr he himself is father! 1t is right
enough-nav, it is courtesy which is
due the peoplc-that one who seeks to
represent them should make himself and
his opinions known to them, and, if lie,
chooses TO manifest the genuine kindness
and generosity of his nature, in proper
ways, none can complain. But when one,
through pretended generosity, seeks 70
avoid being known, by destroying the un.
derstanding Of intelligent beings, and
overturning the principles of truth, pre-
tending TO be a friend to the people,
which the very act contradicts, he deser.
v to be called an enemy to his country
and blur upon his race.
."Virtue and intelligence are the bases
of all good republican governments.-
How, then, shall we expect our Govern
ment to stand, while its foundations are
being corrCdcd 10y corruption and torn up
by Violence and misdirected Judgment
These evils and vices e which we have
spoken, are the source Of sincere sulicitude
to al who uuly love the genius of liberty
and the happiness of the reop|c."

New York BANKs.--To show the differ
cnce between the present condition of the
New York banks, with their condition one
year since, marking the rapid transition, to
which monetary affairs in that great iinanc.
al centre are subject, the following compar-
ison has been made:
Last year the specie in the hanks at the
close Of the second week in October WAS
$7,Sl3.2So: this year it is S2S,506 ,5OS; and
this against decrease in paper circulation
of more than half n million Of dollars. The
actual deposits year ago were torty-three
millions; now they are just double that n
mount, and the increase in bank apiia is
three ana a half millions.
