A family. - in the pine woods of Wilkinson county, a couple (both natives of Burke county,) were, in 1801, married-the gentleman, a bachelor, forty years of age. Since that, time they have lived together in a state of uninterrupted happiness, which has been crowned by the birth of twenty one children, ten sons and eleven daughters; all alive and healthy at the present time. Some places boast of their increase of hogs, others of their horses, and others again of their cattle; but we challenge the world to beat Wilkinson in what is infinitely more valuable-the increase of fine healthy children. We would recommend a Summer's residence in Wilkinson, to the married portion of our wealthy friends of the seaboard.- Georgia Patriot

   Since the Penitentiary was burnt, several of the convicts, for whom there was no profitable work within the walls, have been employed under a guard, in quarrying rocks on the town common, to build the cells for their solitary confinement. One of this number name Hezekiah Williams, sent from Wilkinson county for manslaughter, having attempted to make his escape on Tuesday, and not stopping when required to do so by the guard, was fired on and killed. If the circumstances are correctly reported, the shooting of the convict was absolutely necessary to prevent his escape, and perfect justifiable.

TO THE PUBLIC.
  I discover an article, under the head of the Milledgeville Times, stating the circumstance of an outrage committed on the body of HENRY EADY, by his negro-man AARON, which is closed by observing, that the circumstance of the said Henry Eady's being shot at in his own house, on the 20th of January last, at night, was yet involved in mystery. The mystery has been cleared up by the confession of the aforesaid negro, Aaron. Henry Eady has charged this foul crime on Richard Lewis junior and myself, without any just cause and while he had evidence of our innocence. My father, Richard Lewis senior was one of the first settlers of Wilkinson county; myself and Richard Lewis junior were both born and raised in the county; and it is the first and only time that one of the family was ever accused of any thing ungentlemanly; and, in fact, Henry Eady is the only man that has ever said anything against our characters.- For our character and standing, we appeal to our neighbors, who have known us from childhood, in justification of ourselves, we feel duty bound to state to the public, that the above name negro, Aaron, died on the day he as hanged for shooting his master, Henry Eady, the last time, openly confess, that he died shoot at his master on the 20th January last, in Irwinton. I think that Henry Eady ought to have published the confession of his negro, Aaron, as no suspicion can be entertained against any one else by him or his friends; but he has not-which is our apology for troubling the public through the medium of the press. Aaron confessed, that the did walk from the Heydon Place, (a plantation of H. Eady) on the twentieth day of January last, at night, and shot at his master Henry Eady, and he stated that the Messrs. Lewis were accused, but that they were innocent, and that no white person had any hand in it, or knew any thing about his shooting at his master, for he did it himself; and he wished every body that stood around him to hear him. Robin (another of Henry Eady's Negroes) gave him a pair of moccasins to make his escape, so that the dogs would not track him. JAMES R. LEWIS. Wilkinson county, Ga. June 17, 1834.
