LAWRENCBBUEGE

FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1825.

From ii New Orleans paper of the 22d ult. we learn that the small pox still exits in that place ; and although great exertions had Leon made to arrest the progress of this malady it still continues to spread. Dr. Davidson, of that; city, gives it as his opinion, that unless effectual measures he taken to destroy it hefore cold weather, it may be expected to spread generally over the city. Should this be the case, we think it would

have a tendency to enhance the value of

produce taken to that market; as there are "but few of our traders from the upper country, who would risk their health in a city, infested by so frightful a disease. The prices current of the latest date are the same as published in our last, with but very few alterations. The citizens of this place have, at length, finished the market house. It is enclosed and paved very neatly, and will no doubt be found to be a great convenience not only to the inhabitants of the town, but also io those of the country w ho have marketing to dispose of.

A man of colour was committed to jail in this place, on yesterday, charged with passing counterfeit money. When apprehended, several spurious dollars were found in his possession, bearing date 1821. From the appearauce of the dollars, they must be of more recent make; very likely they are from the mint in Butler county, Ohio, which we noticed not long since. On his examination, before justice Hagerman, he was questioned where he got the dollars, but gave no satisfactory answer. The inhabitants had better be cautious, as there is probably a considerable amount of this money in circuJation in this part of the country. It has a good appearance and might be palmed on the unsuspecting quite nicely.

As the dissemination of enlightened public opinion may produce an auspicious result in the present state of the Georgia controversy, we make it known that in this city there is scarcely one intelligent citizen who thinks that the Governor of Georgia is correct in persevering in the survey at this time of the ceded territorv of the Creeks. On the other hand, in relation to the security of our peculiar property, and the denial of any right to interfere with the South-

rence. The carriage driver of a lady from Alabama, was, together with one of the horses, struck lifeless to the ground by lightning. The boy was standing a few feet from a tree, bridling the horse, and both fell apparently dead. The boy did not exhibit any signs of life the horse was seen to wink a few times, but did not move. Happily, some

of the ladies in company had presence of,

mind sufficient to order some one to blow into the boy's mouth, and as soon as his lungs were inflated, he breathed. This, though a trifling thing, was certainly the means, together with friction, of restoring the boy to life. He was struck on the side of the head, his hat was torn to pieces, and his neck, side, and leg blistered, and the toe of his shoe completely burst out. No doubt had the ;ior es lungs been also inflated, that both might have lived, for the horse certainly evinced more signs of life immediately after :he accident, than the boy. As occurrences of this kind frequently happen, people will do well to remember the remedy, as it affords the only chance of restoring life. The air should be thrown in by a small pair of bellows instead of the mouth, as it is then pure, and has never undergone any change in the respiratory organs to unfit it for the purposes of life. Missionary. James Burnett, who served ten years as a Sailing-Master in the British Navy, states

in a letter to the Editor of the Cape Fear

Kecorder, that the North Carolina, without her gangway guns, heaves a heavier broadside, by 304lbs. than any other ship in the zvorld. The largest ship in the world was the Spanish Admiral's ship St. Astealla Tr inidad. She did not heave a heavier broadside than the North Carolina. A first rate British ship, mounting guns on 3 decks, carries 126 guns from which the wekght of shot in one discharge is 3284 pounds. Lit. Gaz,

It is in agitation in Georgia, to withdraw Gov. Troup, and substitute Mr. Cr iwford as

a candidate against Mr. Clark, at the next election. Should this step be taken, and attended with success, Georgia will ensuv the

temperate exertion of great talent and experience, combined with discretion, in the conduct of her affairs; and her just claims will bo asserted in the true spirit of our republican institutions, and no longer rendered the subject of sport and ridicule i. ther states, by the violence and imprudence of her present firebrand governor. lb.

Should this report prove true, and Mr. Crawford succeed, all further disturbance with the Indians will cease, as the lands, no doubt, can be had o-n very peaceable terms, by adopting a system of intermarriage, between the parties. Curious Speculation. Charles Stewart, (a black,) cook of the ship Tamerlane, of Wiscasser, purchased at Charleston, South Carolina, as an adventure, a Rattlesnake and 8 Alligators, for 15, and on his arrival at Liverpool, in July last, sold them for 42 10s.

COMMUNICATED. Messrs. Gregg V Culley Please insert the following, and oblige a subscriber. To the gentlemen to whom is given the power to exercise a legal control over intestates' estates, in the county of Dearborn, and state of Indiana as also to expound and decide questions of law. Permit an obscure individual to remind you, that provision has been made by law that the property of persons dying intestate, without heirs, should be applied to the support of free schools in the county where such property lies; the common law principle is, if I am right, that it shall escheat to the crown, which when applied to our government would go to the state. Now ye guardians of the people's rights and expounders of the law, 1 ask if no person applies to claim, as heir, the property belonging to an intestate's estate, it would not be implied in Jaw that there were none? The above is an important question, as there is in the town of Lawrenceburgh an estate, probably worth fifteen hundred dollars, now in the. hands of individuals, that has not been claimed by any person as heir of Mr. Cormack, to whom it formerly belonged, although he deceased some fifteen or twenty years past. J ustice OT Mr. Monfort, of the Presbyterian denomination of Christians, will preach at Lawrenceburgh at 10 o'clock on Sunday the second day of October next. TAKEN UP,

From a Georgia Troup paper. Now is the time, for all true Georgians to stand by the interest of their state. President Adams says he will refer the treaty again to Congress, and he speaks of the possibility of its being cancelled. The people of Georgia have it completely in their power to say whether it shall be annulled or not. Turn Gov. Troup out of office, who has used liis best exertions to procure the land, and the Congress will immediately say, the people of Georgia do not want the land, for they have turned out of office the very man who has labored so assiduously to obtain it. Depend on it this will be seized on as a pre

text for the annulment of the treaty, and difficulties with respect to their resolution

GEX. IVILKLYSOX TEXAS. We have seen a letter from Gen. Wilkinson, dated at the City of Mexico, just received by a gentleman of this place, in which he states that he has procured a grant for a large tract of land in the Province of Texas, and wishes to ?ettle it with a body of well disposed Americans. The inducements which he holds out to emigrants are very liberal and advantageous. The General contemplates establishing a Colony, either at the Bay of Trinity, 40

miles from Galvestown, or at Croze's Ferry, on the Sabine river, 45 miles from Natchi

toches, and expects to commence his opera

tions in September next.

Gen. Wilkinson has devoted the greatest

part of his life to the service of his native country, and is now reluctantly obliged in his old age, to change his allegiance, by emigrating to a foreign land, in order ta make provision for his numerous family. We sincerely wish him prosperity and

happiness in his declining years and, although we have always been opposed to the
