The forfeit of five thousand dollars aside, has been deposited by the owners of these two lions of the turf, which settles the matter that they must play or pay. Wrightsboro Celebration. An explanatian is dua to our friend' in Wrights bora, for the delay in publishing the account of their celebration. The manuscript had been mis laid, and we did not find it until yesterday. ‘‘Selling "White Men for Debt.” On this subject we hare already said sufficient to convince every reasonable man, that the con struction attempted to be placed upo > this law by the locofaco organs and partisans, was not founded in truth or justice. But as they have recently given publicity to a certain North Carolina Circu lar, which stated, among other things, that an hon est poor man might have been sold, we propose to shew our readers, and the people of Georgia, what class of offenders this law contemplated punishing, and of what crimes they had to be guilty before they could, by possibility, be subject to the penal ties of the ISth section, which is in the following words : Be it farther enacted. That when any person shall he imprisoned either upon execution or oth erwise, for the non-payment of a fine or cost, or both, it shall be lawful for the Sheriff of the coun ty to SELL OUT SUCH PERSON AS A SERVANT, to any person within this State, who will pay the whole amount due, for the shortest period of service, of which sale public notice shall be given at least ten days, and upon such sale being effected, the sheriff* shall give the pur chaser a certificate thereof, and deliver over the prisoner to him, from which time the relation be tween such purchaser and prisoner shall be that of MASTER AND SERVANT, until the time of service expires; and for injuries done by either remedy shall be had in the same manner, as is, or may be provided by law in the case of Master and apprentice, But nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent persons being dis charged from imprisonment according to the pro visions of the 37th section of the act to which this is supplementary, if it shall be considered expedi ent to grant such a discharge. PROVIDED THAT THE COURT, IN PRONOUNCING SENTENCE UPON ANY PERSON CON VICTED UNDER THIS ACT, OH THE ACT TO WHICH THIS IS SUPPLEMEN TARY, MAY DIRECT SUCH PERSONS TO BE DETAINED IN PRISON UNTIL THE FINE BE PAID, OR THE PERSON OR PERSONS OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF AGREEABLY TO THE PROVISIONS OF THIS ACT. This is the high handed outrage which has been committed upon the rights of the “ honest poor man!” at which the locofoco leaders have affected to be so much shocked. Nor is it at all astonish ing or wonderful that they should be shocked, since they have so generally endorsed the truth of Gov. Troup’s letter. For the intelligent reader will per ceive that the proviso, in the conclusion of the section, confines it-! operations exclusively to those who shall be sentenced to remain in jail until the fine is paid, consequently only those guilty of the higher offences, such as “ plundering and stealing ,” need have any fears of being sol 1 under this act. ]t was a bill for the punishment of certain offen ces therein named, and supplementary to an act passed 1814—15. The Act of 1814-15 provides for the punish ment of the following offences; House-breaking in the night— House-breaking in the day—Steal ing less than $ 10—Routs—Riots— Failing to as sist in arresting rioters—Continuing not after proclamation— Abusing Judges and other officers Assault and Battery—Judges and Justices re ceiving extra fees— Defrauding—Assumption of office or oppression by colorofoffice —Barratry— Oppression by Sheriff's and other officers—Remo ving land marks —Boxing at fisticuff Bieakmg tomb atones—Altering Murks or Brands—Sell- ing spirituous liquors to Indians —Refusing to assist civil officers —False prosecutors—Forgery —Adultery—Libel—Fornication—Cutting tim ber on public lands —Voluntary escape—Rescue —Marrying contrary to Law—Attempt to cor rupt a Juror—Corruption in a Juror—Refusing to give testimony. The Act of 1820-21 provides for the punish ment of the following offences — Slealing money or destroying paper under SSO —Bribery of Judge—Threatening by letter —res- cue—aiding prisoner to escape—bribery of officer to suffer escape—Burning Hay Stacks, &c.— Destroying toll-bridges—killing animals, See. — Destroying fruit trees —Selling lottery tickets. These are all the offences specified in those Acts, and upon all these offences the persons charged were entitled to a trial by a jury of their pe rs, and none of them were cases in which the court acted both as judge and jury. We ask the people of Georgia, if. under this law, there was much danger to fear that “an honest poor man ” would be sold? On the contrary, that none other than lawless villains would be subject to the penalties. But there is a saving clause in this bill, which conclusively shows that no man could have been sold, unless he preferred it, rather than to work out the amount of his fine o:i the highway. The fol lowing is the IGth section: “Sec. 16. That every person adjudged or sen tenced to pay a fine for any offence specified in this act, or the act to which this is supplementa ry, may discharge such fine by labor on the high ways of the township in which he resides; and every court of justice, upon pronouncing judg ment for the payment of a line, shall specify, and make an order setting out within lhat period of time, and at what rate of daily wages, the fine may be thus discharged, and upon what road or roads the labor shall be performed, and execution may be staid, upon security or otherwise, to give lime for the performance of such labor. The certificate of the supervisor of the proper district shall be evidence that the ovhole or any part of the labor has been performed; and, if the whole labor is not performed within the lime prescribed, the party shall nevertheless have credit for the amount of labor actually performed; and if such labor shall not be performed within the time lim ited, it shall be the duty of the clerk to issue an ex ecution (without a precipe filed) for the fine and costs.” But again,by section 19, it is provided “nothing herein contained shall be construed to prevent per sons being discharged from imprisonment according to the provisions of the 27th section of the act to which this is supplementary, if it shall be consid ered expedient to grant such discharge.” The 37th section referred to is as fellows : “Sec. 37. That when any person shall be con fined in jail for the payment of any fine and costs J that may be inflict J agreeably to the provisions of this act, the county commissioners may, if it be made to appear to their satisfaction that the person so confined cannot pay such fine and costs, order the sheriff or jailor of such county to discharge such person from imprisonment: and the sheriff or jailor, upon receivingsuch order in writing, shall i discharge such person accordingly: Provided , That the commissioners may at any time thereaf ter order and cause to be issued an execution a gainsl the body, lands, goods, or chattels of the per son so discharged from imprisonment, for the a mount of such fines and costs.” This latter section then fully secures aged and infirm persons from the penalties of the law, and so far from its being unjust or oppressive, was, un der the circumstances, founded in the soundest principles of humanity and philanthropy. Because they had first to be tried Dy a jury of their fellow men before they could be sentenced, and then, if they were unable to pay their fines and cost,and were able to perform daily labor on the roads, they were allowed to discharge the amount by that kind of work, at a fair price; the price to be {regulated by asworn officer of the county; and in the event that they were unable to labor on the roads, from disease, infirmity or age, they could be discharged fiom jail by the proper authorities. It is certainly a more humane law than the penal laws of Geor gia, which confines a man in the penitentiary or the common jail of the county, for years, for sim liar offences. From the yew York Com. AJv. of July 23. Fires, and loss of Life. About seven o’clock last evening, a fire broke out in a wooden building, in the rear of the large j four story house, No. 21 Canal-street, which soon communicated to a quantity of mahogany, belong ing to E. & C. W. Houghton. The large build- I ings in Canal-street, No. 19 and 21, occupied as a ■ porter and boarding house, by Messrs. Crumpton and Brennan, and also as a piano forte manufacto ry, by Mr. Fisk, were entirely destroyed. Mr. Houghton lo t absut S3OOO. The two story brick building. No. 83 Walker-st., directly in the rear of the above building, occupied by T. W. Field, as a patent hoist wlieel manufac tory, and J. Lewis, as a Carpenter’s shop, was de stroyed. This morning, about half-past 4 o’clock, a fire broke out in D’c extensive planing null of Messrs. Smith it Mclntyre in Bank-street, between Wash ington and West streets, which, together with a large quantity of lumber, was destroyed. Loss about $5,000 —upon which there was a small in surance. The plaster of paris factory adjoining, and a number of stables and wooden buildings, were also destroyed. The rear of Uuee dwellings on Wash ington street and four on Bethune street, were 1 slightly injured. We regret to add that, one person perished in the j flames. From the evidence taken before the coro ner, we learn that the deceased was a single man, 1 aged 34, and resided with his brother, W. H. Coop- ' er, in the rear of 31 Bethune street. His name was Dennis James Cooper. Ho had been insane for seven years, and confined to his tied for five I months past, by illness. The deceased slept in the first, and his brother , in the second story of the house. The latter came down stairs, and was told that the deceased and ! his mother had been carried out, he therefore did not look into the room where they slept, but made his escape as soon as possible, he himself being badly burned. After reaching the street, he was informed that > his brother and mother were yet missing. He then attempted to re-enter the house, but was driven back by the force of the Acmes. His mother how ever, made her escape by jumping fi’om one of the windows. Which is the max for the South'?—“l would not,” said Mr. Van Buren in 1836, “from the lights now before me, feel myself safe in pro nouncing that Congress does not possess the pow er of interfering with or abolish slavery in the District of Columbia.” “ I do not believe,” said Gen, Harrison in 1836, “that Congress can abolish slavery in the Dis trict of Columbia, without the consent of the States of Maryland and Virginia, and the people of the District.” A Laughable Touch of the Descriptive. The following, from the notes of a recent tour ist, is exquisite. It may he termed the knee plus ultra of critical descrip ive writing : “ Rose at seven. Walked out to take a survey of the town. Calais has a very strange pervading smell: mixture of salt marsh, burning turf, boil ed onions and stinking fish.

LOSS OF THE UNITES STATES MAIL. The Steamer Vanderbilt , Capt. Smith, arrived here yesterday, from Wilmington, with two of the four mails due from New York, a considerable of the other two (due on Friday and Saturday last) having been lost at sea, caused by the Gov ernor Dudley, which left here on Saturday nf ternoon, coming in collision with the North Car olina, bound here, about one o’clock on Sunday morning, the result of which was the sinking ot the latter within ten minutes after the occurrence there being barely time to save the lives of the passengers. We have been kindly favoured with the fol lowing particulars, furnished by one of the pas sengers of the North Carolina. The steam boat North Carolina , comman ded by Capt. Davis left Wilmington (N. C.) on Saturday afternoon, at 6 o’clock, with the U. S. Mails for the South, and the following passen gers. viz :—Hon. Mr. Hubbard, of Ala., lady and child, Hon. Dixon H. Lewis, of do., Hon. Mr. Chinn, of Louisiana, the Hon. Messrs. Dawson, Warren, and Nesbit of Georgia, Hon. Mr. Dellet of Alabama, Messrs. J. Hannock, D. J. Dowling and J. Harrison, of do., Jno. R. Horne, of Flori da, J. Ewart, Columbia S. C., and W. W. Starke, of Hamburg, S. C. The passage was very pleasant until we reach ed within about 25 or 30 miles of Georgetown, S. C., about 10 o’clock, on Sunday morning, when Mr. Hancock, informed us that the steam boat Gov. Dudley, was in sight, from 3 to 5 miles distant. Both boats appeared to our informant, (who was on deck) to be steering towards each other. When the Guv. Dudley , when within about 150 yards, a’cry was raised by a passenger to “ look out! The boats of the North-Carulina were almost instantly rung in about a half minute before the boats struck, but the Dudley run afoul of the Norih- Carolinn, abreast of the saloon, and agait si the quarter boards on the larboard side of the for mer. She bilged immediately, (bay in about 10 minutes) and the passengers got onboard of the yawl boats. In the interim, the Gov. Dud ley was undergoing an examination, after which all her boats were sent to the N. C. The passengers and crew were soon placed on board|the Gov. Dudley, and every effort was used to save their property. Some of the trunks and baggage was saved, but all of them in a demaged condition. Singular to relate, out of some thirty or forty persons, not a life was lost. One of the passengers,' (Mr. Dowling of Ala bama,) leaped overboard in his night clothes, but was instantly picked up by one of the boats, in charge of Captain Davis, who displayed consid erable presence of mind during this awful dis aster. The accident is attributed, by Capt. Davis, to the negligence of the mates, who were in charge of both boats, and who did not obey the regula tions of the Company for their government.— The regular mode laid down for the boats is. to keep to the right; but on this occasion, the steam boat Gov. Dudley kept to the left, which, of course, caused the concussion. Capt. Smith, of the Dudley, on coming aboard the North Caro lina, inquired if all the lives were saved; and be ing answered in the affirmative, expressed his determination to continue, but after reflection, concluded to lay by the wreck until morning, which was done in order to save the property of the passengers. At half past six o’clock the wreck was left by the Dudley, and the crew and passengers were landed in Wilmington at three o’clock P. M. The amount of property lost by the passengers is C"nsidereab!e, and may be estimated at from $15,000, to $20,000. But a few saved their clothes, and those whose trunks were picked up, found their contents so completely saturated, that they were of no service. The writer of this article, with several others, had no clothing on landing in the Gov. Dudley, but they were supplied, with much liberality, by Mr. Delbanco, ot Mobile, and other passengers. We are informed that seven leather, and two canvass bags, containing the mails, were saved. Mr. Chinn of La., and Mr. Dawson, of Ga. were both much injured, the former by the con cussion, and the latter, by leaping from one boat to the other. The shock was so sudden, that before halfof the passengers could get out of their berths, the cab ins were filled with water, and most of those on board were compelled to leap from the hurricane deck. On returning in the Vanderbilt yesterday, no thing was was seen of the wreck of the North Carolina, except a few pieces of timber. Capt. Smith, of the Vanderbilt, sailed around the vi cinity of the wreck several times at the request of the passengers, but nothing could be found. , Up to this time, several of the passengers do wilhsut the ordinary comforts of clothing, &c., and will probably be detained in town for a short time. Great presence of mind was displayed by all concerned during the accident. The night was as pleasant as could he desired. The sea was perfectly calm, and every thing promised a speedy and successful termination of the voyage, wnen the vessels were carelessly run into each other. Celebration of the Fonrth of July at Wrightsboro, Columbia County. According to previous arrangement, the citizens of this place,joined by a laige number of perrons from this and the adjoining counties, met before the store of Messrs. Thomas H. White & Co., at half past 10 o’clock, A. M., where a procession was formed oy Maj, Stephen Drane, and marched in order to a beautiful grove, in front of the Acade my. After tho company had seated themselves with the most perfect order, Henry P. Hampton, Esq., arose and after making a few pertinent, and patiiotic remarks, in a clear and manly tone of voice, read the Declaration of Independence. The Orator of the day, Mr. John A. Tucker,then arose and delivered a most chaste, eloquent and patriotic oration. The company were then invited to pass through the grove, (the ladies loading the van,) accompani ed by a band of music, to the rear of the Academy where they found awaiting their reception, three tables prepared to accommodate near four hundred persons, all handsomely arranged and profusely covered with viands and fruits provided for the occasion. The President of the day, our respected citizen Archer Avary, Esq., assisted by live Vice Presi dents, viz., S. Roberts, Albert Wolliman, Dr. E. W. Jones, H. W. Massengale, and Dr. Janies S. Ham ilton, presided with his usual dignity. When these tables had been each three times filled, and all a had been refreshed, the furniture from the ta bles removed, and the glasses replaced, the Pres ident of the day took his seat with his assistants, and called for the regular toasts. The first of which was read by himself, viz. Ist.

The Navy of the United Statfs—ln seven ty-six, it taught the proud Briton to respect it, and in thiiteen, with Rodgers, Bainbridge, Perry and Decatur at its head, convinced him that he was not invincible upon the high sees. 9th. The Old Thiiteen —Shoulder to shoulder they breasted the storm in the darkest days of the republic, and by their unanimity, bravery and firm ness, forced the British Lion to crouch beneath the American Eagle. 10th.

The American Fair —We honor them for their virtue, esteem them for their intelligence, and love them for their beauty. After the regular toasts had been drank amidst the most cheering applause, the Ist Vice President, Mr. S. Roberts, was called upon for a toast, and gave the following: Charles J. Jenkins, Esq., of Augusta—The scholar and statesman ; amongst the Jirst in the State to engage in putting down usurpation, he will not relax bis efforts till the government re turns to its original honesty. As soon as the loud and cheering applause had subsided, Mr. Jenkins arose in his usual dignified manner, and responded in an address of an hour’s length, in which he took a rapid, but eloquent re view of the general government in its most pros perous days, its present embarrassed condition,and the causes of that embarrassment, and pointed to the remedy in the change of men and measures, in a way' that told with effect upon his numerous hearers, as evinced by their deafening cheers while speaking,and the loud and long applause given at the close, he gave in conclusion an appropriate sen timent, which we regret that we were not able to hear distinctly' enough to give it. The second Vice President, Dr. E. W. Jones, was then called for to give a sentiment, who gave the following : The Slate Rights Party of Putnam County'—Ev er in front in baltleiug for principle, may they not now sacrifice it for interest. Major James A. Meriwether (one of the invited guests) was loudly' called for, when he arose a midst shouts of cheering, and addressed the compa ny in his most felicitous and happy style, setting forth ably and fully, the corruptions of the present administration, its manifest departure from the principles of Jefferson and Madison, and called upon his fellow citizens of Georgia, to tome to the rescue, by voting at the ensuing election for Harrison and Reform. The third Vice President, Mr. A. Holliman, was called, who gave the sentiment as sent in by the Hon. Mark A. Cooper, one of the invited guests, viz: The union of all those who will contend for a strict construction of our compact of Union, as the only rule to preserve State Rights, to keep down the Protective Tariff and the Bank, and to protect and defend Southern Institutions. Which was applauded by loud cheering. The fourth Vice President was called, and gave the sentiment as sent in by' the Hon. George Mc- Duffie, (one of the invited guests,) viz : The political piinciplos and declines of the South —Let us rally under no banner, on which these are not distinctly inscribed.} Received with cheering. The fifth Vice President, Jas. S. Hamilton, was then called, who gave the following: Ai drew J. Miller, Esq., the able advocate, honest and efficient politician.—Long may he live, to assert and maintain the liberty of his country Loud and long cheers were made, when Mr. Miller arose and responded in his usual and characteristic style of close reasoning and apt illus tration, proving conclusively that the course now pursued by' the dominant party', was at direct war with the principles and interests of the South, and that their only' safety was in the election of Har rison and Tyler. He closed his remarks amidst hearty and long cheering. Major Stephen Drane was then repeatedly called for, arose, and after premising that he was unused to public debating, made some pertinent and ap propriate remarks in reference to the gentlemen who had preceded him, with whom he differed in opinion in relation to the abuse of the present ad ministration, and in a clear, distinct manner, read and commented upon Walker’s (of Miss.) speech in the U. S. Senate, in answer to Mr. Webster, on the sub-treasury. He also gave some reasons why he thought tiie South should give its support to the present administration, and gave the following sen timent in conclusion; May Martin Van Buren be re-elected to the Pre sidency of the United States. Which was cheered loudly by the friends of the administration. The sentiment sent oy the Hon. Waddy Thomp son, an Invited guest, was then read, viz: A Southern man with American principles, and a Northern man who has uniformly voted for the highest tariffs; to reluse admission of any new State without the prohibition cf slavery; to confer lon free negroes the right of suffrage; who recog nizes the right of negroes to testify in a Court Maitial in a slave State against an American officer; who arrogates to the federal executive the exclu sive control of the public money, and the federal government the exclusive power of making paper money; a bankrupt law with power to crush State corporations; and a militia law which takes the control of the militia from the States, and gives it to the federal executive! Choose ye between them. Which was long and loudly cheered. The sentiment sent by his Honor Garnett An drews, an invited guest. The Hard Times —To be softened by hard work, plain living, plain dress ing and plain dealing. Sent by the Hon. Wm. C.

May they ever continue thus honesty and evince their patriotism, by meeting as brothers of the same great family, on] each return of tli; ~ hallowed day, around its festive board. By Pierson Pettit, Esq. Martin Van Buren, the “Northern man with Southern principles”—Mani fested in his seeing nothing for Iris disapproval in the conviction of an American naval oflker, con demned, in a Southern slaveholding territory, upon the evidence, in part, of two negro fellows!

The late Hon. Hugh L. White, of Tennessee—“An honest man the no blest work of God.” May his name and his memo ry thrill and throb upon the hearts of his country men forever. Opinion of Mr. Calhoun.— In 1835, Air. Calhoun used the following language respecting Cen. Jackson and his successor : “No one can look with greater alarm than I do on the attempt of the Chief Magistrate to ap point his successor. Should it succeed, open and undisguised as it is, and resting, as It al most exclusively does, on the avowed subservi ency of the nominee to the will of the President without tho ' high qualifications and services on his pirt, calculated to command the regard of the people or to fit him for the duties of the high office to which he aspires, it would afford conclu sive proof of consummation of Executive usur pation over the other departments of the Gov ernment, and the Constitution and liberty / of the Peopled .fluiAL.—Many now look upon the plan sug gested by Mr. Davidson, of transporting the mads through the air, as feasible. W hat will the elder Mr. Weller say to it 1 We think we see him take a long puK from his pipe, take a deep drink from his quart of porter and in accents of resigna tion address his son Samivel thus : “Another in owalion on the pikes. Yen the railroads and the locormotive v.< introduced, your father, Samivel, very naterally received a sewere shock ; but this new inwention is 100 much for von who is most broke down, he can’t long surwive it.
