for several days in a state ofiiiebriety, of the
most brutal and disgusting character. In the
“ unsuspecting moment of sleep,” without
cause or provocation, she seized a hatchet,
and struck him a severe blow upon the face,
and repeating it upon tlietemple, buried the
iristrnment iii his head. The unhappy _wo-

Mrs. Mansfield (according to her storylhad
conceived the idea that her litisliand had cori-
spired with Dr. Foot to poison her, and as
she expected to die soon, she wished him to
acoriipariy her. She states that after the first
blow, (and sometimes she says after the sec-
oiid,) he rose upon the lied, and said to her,.I
believe yoti have killed me; upon which she
struck him the second time. A little boy 7
or 8 years old, states that he entered the room
and met Mrs. M. coming from it with the
hatchet in her hand and perceiving Mr. M. in
distress, he asked him the matter, and Mr. M.
replied that an ox had gored him. This is
unlikely, as from the nature and extent of the
wound, it is judged tliatlie could not have
spoken after tliat.——Journal.

.7lTirrdcr.——OuSaturday night a murder was
coniuiitted on a free colored man named Jitii
Foreiiiaii, by riccripatioii a drayiiiaii, at the
lower end ofChurcli street, supposed by a
slave named Jacob. It appears that Jim was
knocked down liy a brick‘ .liat rvhicli struck
him on the hand, and afterwards stabbed in
the temple with a sharp pointed iiistitimeiit,
which put an end to his existence. It is stat-
ed that both oftlfese men claimed the same
woman as his wife; Jacob had warned Jim
that if he caught him" at her house again, he
would take his life; lint Jim, relying on his
right to visit her, disregarded the warning,and
met the fatal consequences mentioned above.
Jacob made his escape, liii_t was.yesterday ap-
prehended and lodged in jziil.—‘.Nbifolk pa.

Empire travelling‘ wcst .’-—Lewis A. '1‘:iras-
con, Esq. post-iiiaster of Sliippingport, Keri-
tuckv, has issued a circular, addressed to the
people of the United States, on the propriety
of establisliiiig a waggori road, front the navi-
gable writers of the Jlfissotrri, to those Q/' the
Coliriiibirz. This is a renewal of Dr. Floyd’s
sclieiiie for uniting the Atlantic and Pacific
Oce-.:ris,'opeiiing to the United States a direct
trade with China and with the western shor.es
of .-’tmeric:i, by a route across the Rocky
Mountains. Mr. Tarascoii presented to Con-
gress, at its last session, a memorial on this
snliject, which he annotiryces his intention to
revive next winter. In the mean time he be-
spealts the favorable opinion of the people of
the United States.

Ilis plan is to comnieiice a road on the Mis-
souri,‘ near the 43d (il(‘.,gl‘l't) of north lzititude,
extend it totlie Mexican frontier, in latitude
422, and thence to the navigable waters of the
Multnoniali, the most soutlierii branch of the
Columbia. Our north eastern frontier is to
be rzoverod with a litie offurts,t_o prevent Brit-
ish traders froiii trespassing ‘on our soil, to
hold otit to the Indians the Olive branch. and
to supply them with the necessaries oflife.—
Military and naval establisliinerits are to be
formed on the Bay oftlie Coltiuibia, and lines
of steam boats to ply front each end of the
road, the one on the Missouri, towards the At-
lantic, and the other on the Coluinbia,towards
the Pacific. No other disbursements frorii
the national treasury are asked, for complet-
irig this route, than shall be stifficient to ex-
tinguish the Indian titles to a belt ofland,suf—
fit.-icnt for cotistructiiig the road one hundred
iiiiles in cxterit.

The advaritages of cari'yii_ig this project in-
to execution are set forth under twenty dis-
tinct heads,‘ aniong which are the following :
~——Tliat it would secure the whole of the fur-
trade within the limits oftlie Utiited States-‘-
ripeii a niarkct for riiercliaiidise and rtiaiitifac-.
tures in the west—-extend’ our’ frontier settle-
niciits—extiiigiiisli the influence of f'0"<’-lg“
nations over the Indians, and prevent future
\\‘:t'rs—protect otir coriitiierce on the Pacific
ocean—-proliibitthe Europeans‘powers from
planting colonies on the western sliores of A-
nit--rica—lcad to another El Dorario in Spati-

ibli America, whence the United States iiiigli

rte-.-its silt-‘ct’ and gold in abtiiidaiice, for driv-
ing a lucrative trade to tlie_east, and for sup-
plying otir own country with Sp8CI,e—'-and I0
save the expenses and risks of voyages round
Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope-

These are but a few of the reasons urged
by Mr. Tarascoii_ for enlisting immediately in
the undertaking. The circular may be seen
at this office. It is proper to add, that in the
opiiiioii of able and judicious men, his plan is
hv no means visionary. Dr. Floyd and other
piominent members of Congress have been its
strenuous advocates, and urged its practicabil-

.7V'orlh. flbout.’—Scveral‘gentlemeii have ar-
rived in towti this week front New-Orleaiis,
Mobile, and Blakely,by the ‘way of Pittsburgh
and Lake Erie. Tliose fiotii the first iiicn-
tioned place ascended the Mississippi ;_ and
those from Alabama travelled by land tolV ash-
ville, Tennessee; thence descended the Cum-
berland river, and proceeded tip the Ohio, to
Pittsburgh by steam boats. Frotn the latter
place, tlfcy passed in stages to Detroit, where
they embarked in the Steam Boat Superior,
for -Buffalo; thence by the Erie canal to Al-
bany. and down the I-ludson to this city. They
nieritioii the interesting fact that one-third of
the passengers in the steanilicat Superior
were from the Gtilpli of Mexico, preferring
this new route from the South to the North,
as being the cheapest, the most comfortable,
and by far the tiiost pleasant. It must indeed
be a delightful tour in the warm season, af-
rnrdiiig a fine view of some of the grandest
scenery in the United States, comprising the
rivers Mississippi, Ohio, and the Hudson, the
great western Lakes, the Falls of Niagara, as
well as the tiiost stnpeiidous artificial work of
modern times. The day is not distant when
this will becoriie the fashionable route between
the north and the south, the canal forming an
important link in the golden chain of coin-
nierce and intercourse, to bind togetlier rc-
iiiote parts oftlie Unioti.——.N'. Y. Slalcsniaii.

,Ei.ri1.Y 'Gt:ici:i1.——At the time Gen. Green
retreated before Lord Rawdoii frotii Ninety-
Six, when he had passed Broad River he was
very desirous to send an order to Gen. Sutiiter
who was on the Wateree, to join him, that
they might attack Rawdon, who had now di-
vided his force : bttt the General could find
no man in that part oftlie State who wasl.-old
enough to undertake so dangerous a mission.
The country to be passed tlirotigli for many
miles was full of blood thirsty tories, who on
every occasion that offered itnbrued their
handsin the blood oftlie wliigs. At length
Emily Geiger presented lierselfto Gen.Green,
and proposed to act as his messenger: and the
General both surprised and delighted, closed
with her proposal. He accordingly wrote a
letter and delivered it, and at the same time
coriinitiiiicated the contents of it verbally, to
be told to Sr.iiiiteriii case ofaccidents. Emily
was young, but as to her person or adventures
on the way, we have no further iiiforiiiation
except tliatslie was mounted on horse-back
upon a side—saddle, and on the secotid day of
lierjourney she was intercepted by Lord Raw-
don’s scouts. Coming from the direction of
Greene’s army, and not being able to tell an
tintrtitli without blushing,Euiily was suspected
and confined to a roo_rii; and as the officer in
command hadthe modesty not to search her
at the tiuie, he sent for an old tory iiiatron as
riiore fitting for that ptirpose. Emily was not
wantiiig in expedient, and as soon as the door
was closed,._aiid the bristle a little subsitled,slie
ate up the teller piece by piece. After a while
the iiiatrori arrived, and upon searching noth-
ing was. to be found of a suspicious nature a-
bout the prisoner, and she would disclose noth-
ing. Suspicion being thus alliiyed, the officer
commanding the scouts suffered Emily to de-
part for where she said she was bound-but
she. took a route somewhat circuitous to avoid
further detention, and soon after struck into
the road to Siitiiter’s catiip, where she arrived
in safety. Emily told her adventure and de-
liver-ed Greene’s verbal message to Sumter,
who in conscqtieiice soon afterjoiiied the main
army at Orangeliurg. Emily Geiger after-
wards married Mr. Threrwits, a rich planter
on the Corigarec. She has been dead thirty-
five years; but it is trusted her name will de-
sceud to posterity among those oftbe patriot-
ic feiiialcs oftlie Revolutioii.

For the last six months, (ending 15th nlt.)

ver. The white population of Savannah is
about 4000. The Statesman says that since

Yellow Fever.-—Died at quarantine,N.York,
on the 226th inst. Mr. N. L. Cuuitnings, 1st
Lieutenant of the U. S. brig Spark. The N.
Y. Eve. Post says; ‘ his death was no doubt
occasioned by Yellow Fever, which he bro’t
with him from ‘Havana. Other deaths, we
strongly stispect, are traceable to the same
source. There must be no ‘concealment.

..6l novclt_1/.--A Providence paper says that
on the 19th tilt. the lion. \Vheeler Martin,
candidate for Elector of President, ascended
thesteeple of a nieetiiig-liouse in that town,
and at the height of15O feet from the ground,
proclaimed John Quincy Jldunis as the next
President ofthe United States. Mr. M. now
declares that no one has ever spoken Iitghcr of
his candidate than he did on that occasion.

It is rumored that it is the intention of the
Navy Department very speedily to call Cotii.
Barron into active service.

' Gen. Jackson and Gcn.flrmstrang.—Tlie
N. Y. Statesman says that a correspondence
has recently taketi place between Gen. Arni-
strong and General Jackson, in relation to
some supposed strictures made by the latter
oti the coiidttct oftlie former while Secretary
of “far, in a private letter to Mr. Monroe of
the 6t|i ofJanuary, I817. The result is——a
prompt and frank disrrvowal, on the part of
Gen. Jackson, of any intention, in what he
did say,‘ to cast a reproach upon any individ-
ual ;’ and also, :1 denial oftlie genuirietiess of
a part oftlte said letter, as published in seve-
ral of the Jourtials. On this last point, the
General’s words are—-‘ Permit me here, how-
ever, to observe, that the words, ‘ by the wick-
edness or weakness of our War Minister,’
which you have quoted from my letter to Mr.
Monroe, are not to be fotind in the copy now
in my possession, printcdfroin the oi'ig'nal,antl
furnished the editors of the Nat.Intelligeiiccr.’

Capt. Ililcy in Oliio.—Capt. Riley, whose
travels in Africa, over the Great Desert of Sa-
liara, have given liirii CCl(3l‘ll‘ll_\’, in a recent
letter to a friend, states that he settled, with
his family, in 1821, on the banks of St. Ma-
ry’s river, near its junction with the Miami of
Lake Erie. Here he built his lint, 9.5 miles
from any inliabitant, and five from any road
or path. His object was to establish mills,
and -to btiild tip a town, to be called after his
benefactor If'i‘ltsli.irc, and where his cliildreti
might rise with the country. This he has in
a measure accomplished; a settleinentof 224
families constitute the town of \Villsliire,thro’
which iioiv rrins a state and a post road zit has
ii post office, and a county cotirt liotise.

It affords us much pleasure to state, that

acquitted tlieiriselves in a manner highly cred-
itable to the professors and the iiistitutioii.—
The trustees have unanimously resolved, that
it is expedient to erect a building for the ac-
commodation oftlie students, and we cannot
doubt. they will be seconded in their pious tiri-
d.ertakirig by the wealthy and liberal of otir

The Branch School at Geneva has been abol-

against liim,. viz :' “. Mr. Adamslias volunta-
rily resided for seven years in a slave holding
state, and at this riiomerit is a slave holder.-”
The fact ofliis residence in the District of
Columbia, since he has filled the ofiice which
be now holds with so niticli credit to the court-
try, is iindeniable.- That slavery exists’ in
that districtis unfortunately true‘; btit it is not
true, that Mr. Adams now does, or ever did,
own a human being as property,or was ever a
slave-holder in any sense of the term. As
this subject, however, has been forced tipoii
the public attention by the indiscretioii’ of Mr.
Adams’ opponents, it is due to the people of
this state,and to the‘ high -lllll)(le(I people oftbe
south, who regard slavery as an evil, to state‘,
that during the last session ofCongress,a slave
belonging to Mr. Crawford,was"soliciting stib-
scriptions frotii inhabitants and strangers, for
the purpose ofpnrchasirig from the master the
right ‘to go otit of bondage.’. The owner was
willing to euiancipate his-slave‘, not because
the slave was fitted for freedom; but because
strangers were willing to pay the price of his
freedom. We hope, that if Mr. Crawford has
any more slaves, whom he intends to emanci-
pate, by subscription, that he will carry his
benevolent intentions into effect, before the
4th of next March ;. for iflie sliould-ever be
elected President (which is not very probable)
we should be mortified to see or- to hear of
the slaves of the President of this nation of
freenien,solicitiug from members of Congress
and foreign Ministers the price of their free-
dom. ONE wno KNOWS.
