The above Lands are in Twiggs county, 28th district Wilkinson, 4 or 5 miles below the Garrison, and immediately below the Old Fields, so justly celebrated for their extraordinary good and deep black soil, intermixed with isinglass; this land in point of fertility fully equals them; it is chiefly covered with thick Cane, intermixed with luxuriant Mulberry, Sassafras, Holly, Whiteoak, Elm, etc. all as large as nature can produce - no undergrowth prevents further easy clearings-along the bank are several elegant situations for fisheries, and the river affords fish of all kinds in abundance. It is less subject to overflowing or washing away than any low ground on the river, being secured by back waters. The navigation is equal, if not superior to the Oconee river, and Boats already carry down produce. The fragrant woods entirely without moss, invite residence on the river, as well as on the adjoining high land, and no case of bilious complexion have every appeared.
Persons desirous to provide for themselves and family a solid settlement, on LANDS, inexhaustible by cultivation, and yearly advancing in vale, will find it their interest to make early application to the subscribers, who will dispose of the half or whole, as it may suit purchasers, on reasonable terms.

We have heard a report which we suppose to be founded in truth, that an affray took place a few days past near Marion in Twiggs county, between some of our citizens and a parcel of Indians who had come in to trade, in which several of the latter were wounded, and perhaps some killed. Geo Journal
We have just now been informed by different gentlemen, of respectability, from Twiggs county, that the circumstances attending this wanton, cowardly and atrocious act, are as follows: Seven Indians, five men and two women came to Marion to trade, where they remained on that day, til near night, when they retired to a distance, and camped in the woods. A party of six or seven men from the village followed them, and immediately commenced a quarrel, when one of the whites stabbed an Indian; after which the whites retired to the village, prepared themselves with muskets, returned to the indian camp, and covering their cowardly assassin arm, by the darkness that surrounded them fired into the middle of the unsuspecting Indian circle, wounded three of the men and one of the women. So flagrant, base and atrocious an act we sincerely ho for the sake of Humanity, for the honor of our country; whose fame and character has been so wantonly prostituted, for the sake of these innocents and respectable families, who inhabit that frontier and whose lives are endangered by this vile act of cruelty, that means will be taken to prosecute to conviction, the authors of so grievous, so public and so unmanly a crime.

The Patriots of '76 are dropping off one at a time; we have now but few left; yet we have the consolation to know that true patriotism exists in the rising generation. -At the house of Archibald M'Intyre, Esquire, of Twiggs county, on the 12th inst. Col. JOHN LAWSON expired, after an illness of only two days. He had literally grown grey in the service of his country. It is well known that during the revolutionary struggle, he took an active part in behalf of Freedom. He lived many years after to enjoy the blessings his hard toils had wod. He has filled some of the most important statins in the civil as well as military departments of the state. In his death, society has lost a truly benevolent & patriotic citizen, and his friends and relations a humane and tender parent and virtuous friend. - a few days before his death, to wit, on the morning of the 7th instant, his youngest son, ANDREW LAWSON, Esquire, Sheriff of Twiggs county, departed this life at the house of David Delk in the county of Wilkinson, on his way home from Washington. His illness was short tho' severe, yet he bore it with that fortitude that becomes a rational and intelligent being, conscious of having done his duty-few young men would be more lamented.

THE Subscribers would dispose of from One Thousand to Twelve Hundred Acres of such LAND, of which about one hundred acres are already cleared and in cultivation, with houses for negroes and corn crib, The above Lands are in Twiggs county, 28th district Wilkinson, 4 or 5 miles below the Garrison, and immediately below the Old Fields, so justly celebrated for their extraordinary good and deep black soil, intermixed with isinglass; this land in point of fertility fully equals them; it is chiefly covered with thick Cane, intermixed with luxuriant Mulberry, Sassafras, Holly, Whiteoak, Elm, &c. all as large as nature can produce-no undergrowth prevents further easy clearings-along the bank are several elegant fisheries, and the river affords fish of all kinds in abundance. It is less subject to overflowing or washing away than any low grounds on that river, being secured by back waters. The navigation is equal, if not superior to the Oconee river, and Boats already carry down produce. The fragrant woods entirely without moss, invite residence on the river, as well as the adjoining high lands, and no cases of bilious complexion have ever appeared.
Persons desirous to provide for themselves and family a sound settlement, on LANDS, inexhaustible by cultivation, and yearly advancing in value, will find it their interest to make early application to the subscribers, who will dispose of the half or whole, as it may suit purchasers, on reassemble terms.
