The own party ? -—Ruci^^^ | particulars of a horrid mutiny on board I the brigf Creole, and the liberation of a large nura- I ber of slaves by the authorities of New Providence, i one of the British West India Islands, has created ; great excitement throughout the Southern country. , The Crcolc was owned in Richmond, Va., andsail- ; ed from Hampton Roads on the 27th ultimo, with I a cargo of tobacco, and 135 slaves and 15 passen- ' gers. Of the mutiny, the New Orleans Picayune \ says: i At 8 oxlock on the evening of Sunday the 8ih j ultimo, the Ciiptaiii supposed hixnself to be in tiie j vicinity of Abaco, and hove the brig to.

He made for the cabin, and ! gave the alarm to the captain and passengers, who I had ‘turned in.’ The negroes came forward, ob structed the passage from the cabin, exclaiming, ‘ we’ve got’em, kill’em as they come out.’ Mr. God dard first rushed out, and, although bruised with clubs and stabbed in one or two places, reached the main riggiu", and took refuge in the maintop.— Capt.

Mere is a question demanding the prompt and vigorous action of our Minister at London. what can the South expect from one so strongly tinctured with Abolition as Mr. Everett? And the Southern Whig Senators in Congress who voted to ratify his nomination, can now feel the awful weight of responsibility resting" upon them in consequence of that vote. We feel well satisfied, that if redress is to be obtained at all for this renev.'ed outrage upon American rights by minions of the British crown, it must be through the action of Congress, and up on that body the South calls to redress the outrage and protect her rights. ^li^Jht oppoiiiioii to the rtptiil ot the Bankrupt i^aw, as the current of public opinion, except pro bably in the large cities at the North, has been so deep and overwhelming in its condemnation, that it would be worse than madness in the Whigs, (its authors) to continue this uniust law unon the statute the slaves had rilled the vessel, broken open all the ‘ . ■' , trunks, and decked themselves out in such clothmg book ol the nation. j they could find.” In regard to the Distribution Law, v.-rong as it j On landing at Nassau, the American Consul had s in nohcv, and uniust and unt.uuil as it is in its j the captain and two of tlie men imniediately taken * - . , , .1 1 j on shore and their wounds dressed, while every at- operations, strong etlorts will be made by the t ed-1 tention was paid to the wounded on board.^ The cralists, and successfullv, we fear, to resist its repeal, j Consul likewise requested the Governor ot New 'I'hev ’must have some excuse for their meditated U^rovidence to place a pard on board to prevent the 3' ^ j slaves from going ashore, as he well knew tliat it PKOTKVTIVK TxMUFF, or incieascd taxes upon the j were not done, it would be impossible lo secure neonle of the South for the benefit of the rich mo- j the guilty perpetrators of the murder.

We last week recorded the death by Drowning of two in teresting sons of Mr. Jonathan Reid; and in O } another paragraph in to-days paper will be found the particulars of a death by freezing. In addition to these painful dispensations of Providence, we are called upon to announce the death by Drow ning of Dr. William White, of the vicinity of Davidson (Jollege in this County. Dr. W. had been w’ith his wagons to Charleston, and returning home, on the evening of the 23d instant, was assist him, the othera had all been badly wounded [ drowned in Richardson’s Creek, about 27 inilos be- in the conflict. In the morning, the captain was ta- ; 1o^v Charlotte.

Two of the sailors were able to hundred thousand dollars, and the People are not such fools as to think themselves benefitted by re- C'Jving this amount from the General Government, "whilu tliey arc compelled to pay back in taxes about TEN Ti>u>' TUE AMOUNT. And it would cost almost the whole of the sum arising as above btaied fj otn to distribute it among tiie twenty led other revenue in its stead. A vast deal of expensive and useless legislation might bo avoided, and the peace, harmony, and prosperity of the country promoted, if Congress would repeal the Loan Law and borrow no more money, and repeal the Distribution Law, and leave the revenue from the lands to supply the deficiency in the current revenue, said by the President to amount to upwards of six hundred thousand dol lars.

After the arrival of.the slaves at Nassau, it is said that they acknowleged that a Baptist preacher named Bourne, ot Norfolk, (one paper says Rich mond ; but thereis no such man here, says the Rich mond Compiler) had advised them with regard to their course and given directions how to proceed. The mate, Mr. Goddard, learned at Nassau that * » tho cnlp! nAlif l.inds Bourne had formerly resided there and had abscond- the procctJi of the sales ol tht .into Enslishnian and it amoniT the twenty-six states and col- forty years of age. The tjlaves were the joint property of Messrs. Thos. McCargo, Johnson &- Eperson and Dumpkm of Richmond. Mr. Hewell was the agent of Mr. Mc- Caifro, and ia said to have been much esteenied and resp'ected. Three of the slaves were killed m the atfray, and another died of his wounds alter his ar rival at Nassau.—Five more, four femalea and a boy, came to New Orleans, having r?iused to accept their freedom. It is said that a youthj a nephew ot Mr. McCargo, was on board and that hirf barely saved by the interposition of two of Mr. Me. s slaves, whose attachment to the youth prompted them to save his life. A touching incident worthy of remark is, that a i’aithful and valuable dog belong ing to the Captain fought furiously agamst the ne groes and bit several of them seriously. He was fi nally killed. The Picayune says: “That the entire scheme was resolved upon before the brig left Richmond is evident from the fact, that the negroes boasted at Nassau that they expected to encounter the brigs Long Island and Orleans, which sailed from Rich mond in company with the Creole, with cargoes of slaves. Both of those vessels, however, are safe in port. A full investigation of this case, we doubt not, will present some very strange developments.” We have always regarded this matter ot the lib eration of slave-s of our citizen by the British author ities of the West Indies as involving the most deli cate question between this country and Great Brit ain. They are (questions that must be settled one way or another. On this head the New Orleans Bulletin says: “ The circumstances of the mutiny and massacre are of themselves sulticientto harrow up the feelings to the highest pitch. But when in addition to the causes of excitement, the inhuman proceedings of the British authorities are brought into view, there is no telling where will be the limit oi the public ex asperation. It cannot be that our government will longer submit with tame acquiescence to such gross and olt repeated invasions of our national rights. Remonstrance and expostulation have been tried long enough. If Great Britain will not listen to the voice of reason, resort mvist be had to some other mode ot bringing her to her senses, and a just per ception of the law of nations. It is high time the question was settled definitely, whether British authorities can strip American citi zens of their property without their consent—and it is, perhaps, fortunate that recent events liave tran spired on tlie eve ot the meeting of Congress, when the subject may be urged upon the representativ^es of the nation. We shall await with deep interest the movements at Washington. The Administra tion has now an opportunity to evince its ability and energy upon a question that deeply concerns the honor and welfare of the nation. But to Cougress con- i especially, will the country look for demontrations I of a decisive and elfective character. The views of stitucnts. And thus the matter stood at our latest!

In consequence of tlie death of Senator Ghvndv, she had but one Senator in the last Session of Congress, and he was the appointee of the Governor, and the term of his appointment has expired. And the Legislature now in Session seems in a fair way to leave the State unrepresented in the Senate of the Union. In the Senate, the Democrats have a majority of one, and the II .use is composed of a Federal majority of three—giving the I''cderalists tico majoiit\ on joint ballot^ The Democratic majority in the Sen ate refuse to meet the House in Convintion to go into an election, on two grounds fifst, they den), that a joint vote of the two Houses in Convention is the Constitutional mode of electing Senators, but that each House is bound to act m its separate ca pacity, and if they cannot agree upon the same in dividual for Senator, there can be no election. Se- condlf/. a Committee of the Democratic members having addressed to tlie candidates of both parties ccrtain inquiries soliciting their views on the lead ing political topics of the day. which inquiries were promptly answered by the Democratic candidates, and answers refused in a very insulting manner by the candidates of the Federalists, they are unwilling to trust the sovereign rights of their State in the hands of men who thus seek to hide their princi ples “ from the public eye,^’ and refuse to say that they will obey the future instructions of their | decisive and elfective character. The views ol Death by Freezing.—We understand tho dead body of Mr. James Ray, of Providence Settle ment in this County, (a man aged about 50 years) v.'as found near his rcsidencc on Wednesday last, the 22d instant. The circumstances of the afiair, if we have been correctly informed, are these: A son of the deceased started to market with his wa gon on the Mth instant, and Wds accompanied by his father to the house of a neighbor about half a mile distant;—from this neighbor’s, the df-ceased started on his return home after night a while, and was never more seen till found as above stated.— The night, as our readers will recollect, was very stormy and cold, and the deceased being addicted to intemperate habits, and travelling a good deal through the neighborhood, going and coming at his pleasure, no uneasiness was felt for his safety by his family till a day or two before his bo'.ly was fbiuid. The verdict of tho Jury of Inquest—that he was frozen to death in a state of intoxication. Paper money has robbed more men, and pros trated tlie hopes of more politicitH^s, than all the other inventions of man.'’ So sayw an exchange paper, and so say we. In the annual message of Gov. RicnARDsoN’, of S. Carolina, he terms a United States Bank “an irre sponsible, soulless, cent per cent, calculating corpo ration.” Could an expression be coined more des criptive of the thing! Terrible Cafa^/rop/te.—The New-York Sun says, a letter from Central America states that the whole town of Cartago, C. A., of about 30,000 inhabitants, was, A^ith the exception of two houses, destroyed by an earthquake, about the middle of September. FROM FLORIDA.

The Tariff.—Our Congressional Analysis exhibits the discussion on the Tariff under lull blast in the House of Representatives. We hope our readers will observe aUentively the course of the two parties on this vital question. In all the dis cussion yet had on it, Mr. Kaynat of this State, and Messrs. Poster and UubcrshaTii of Georgia, are the only Whigs who have resisted the protective; doc- 'rincs advanced by the northern Tarillite?. L,. , , . ities to deliver the v/retclies implicated in this atrocious transaction to the jurisdiction ot the coun try in which they are held as slaves, adds another item to the dark catalogue of outrages upon Ameri can rights committed by the Enghsh Gov'ernment. It will, we trust, form an important feature m the de liberations of Congress on the subject ot the griev ances which Americam property and American citi zens have suffered through the arrogance and des potism of the minions of the British crown. Ihe trite adatrc that there is a point beyond which lor- bearance° ceases to become a virture, was never more applicable than to the tame and «pu-illcss manner in which our diplomatic intercourse with Great Britain in regard to her haughty assumptions of power over the Hag and pr(^erty ol this conlede- racy, has been conducted.

LEKOY SPRINGS. December 28, 1S41. 42...r Obituary. A MOST DISTRESSING CALAMITY. Died, in thi.s county, by drowning, on Friday, the 17th iosra'it, John iMcD. Jieid, in the ISth year of his aj'f'; and his youngest brother. If’???. W. Reid, 111 the IGth year of his age, sons of Mr. Jonathan Reid of Steel Creek. This ver\ aiflictive calamity took placc under the following circuroj: inces. Johi! lias pursuing a course oi‘education at New i’rovilencc un1er the direction of the Rev. Cyrus' .fohr3i'>a fur the last two years. His brother Wil- iia.Mi caifie tlovvn to Providence on Thursday the iOrh iii.'tani. with a horse for Jolin to return home during till re-»,s.s at (’liristmas. But tho incessant rains on that evening, anti other circumstances, pre vented their return on that day. On the morning of ihe 17th, they set out from Providence for home, “ their sweet home,” and contrary to their uniform practice of going by the bridges when the creaks were Hush, and contrary to express determination made that morni»ig, of going by the way of the bridges, they attempted crossing M’Alpin’a creek at Mrs. Boyce’s forii. But the attempt proved fatal to both. The parllculars connected with their distressing and untimely end, cannot be stated ; as no human being was then in view. The presumption is, that John had crossed in safety, but seeing his younger broth er, in the attempt to cross, becoming endangered, John, ,vho coultl swim well, rushed in again to his a.^^sistance; and thus both were lost. Some hours had p.Ts-fied away, when an alarm was excited in the neignborhood by a discovery of the horses on which tJiey rode. Diligent search was made for their bodies—and on the 18th, about 24 hours after tiic fatal catastrophe, that of John was raised from the channel of the creek, some 300 or 400 yards be low the ford. Most diligent searcli was kept up, but the body of William was not found until the 20th. Thus, by a myt:terious providence, the hearts of parents arc made to bleed at every po.’’e; and socie ty at one dash becomes deprived of two most inte resting youflis. John was prepared for College, which he was ex pected by his fond parents to enter next Spring.— During his stay at Providence Academy of two years, his teacher Ibund him uniformly respectful, studious and attentive—and in point of morals he stood so high that he was above suspicion. His brotiicr, equally upright in his deportment, and thought to be even more talented, expected to become a Member of the Academy on the 1st of January next. But they are both gone. How the hearts of tlieir parents w'ould wring with anguish and grief on hearing the sad tidings! How solemn the warning given by their departure! Through this provi dence as well as by his word, God is saying to all the youths of the land, “Be ye also ready, for in such an hour as ve think not, the Son of Man com- eth.” “ The v'oice of this alarming scene, Let every heart obey ; Nor be the heavenly warning vain, Which calls to watch and pray.” Communicated.
