Glorious un i .werwhclming as w|s our victory

plete- The sons of old Richmond.j -rue to the
Constitution and laws, and true, to the in
terests of the South, have nob!? vindicated
their own and the fame of the Patr|u Farmer ot
North BenJ, as well as that of thaU sterling son
ot Old Virginia, John Tyler. They?were among
the first to unfurl the Danner to the-, breeze, and
to keep it floating they have maint|imed one of
the most animated and zealous earnests ever
waged in the country. It has been W contest in
which all have mingled, and all, all ? nave nobly
done their du*y.
We had intended to have signalized the ef
forts of the “ bloody 600 th district 'as well as
those of the citizens in the county, l int in a con
test where all have nobly united tbear whole en
ergies it is useless to distinguish. Lt conclusion
we have but a word to say to |>ur friends,
and it will apply as well to all Georgia as to
Richmond county. The first decided blow has
been struck, which has prostrated and scattered
the forces of the opposition—the gresf revolution
is hut just begun, much yet reraains’ro be done,
and we beseech you not to put off v >ur armor,
until the Augean stable is thoroughly cleansed,
—the spoilers dispersed.
We have not yet received the cct iplete offi
cial returns from the various precincts but enough
is ascertained to know that our majori.y in the
county is over 500.
In this city the vote stood for Ha risen 708,
for Van Buren 364.
Will the sub-editor of the Constitutionalist (we
believe the Corporal is absent from tl.: city) have
.the candor to give his readers this t, r nd sober
•opinion of the letter purporting to have been
written by Gen. Harrison, in the genuineness of
which, his faith was so strong yester !ay morn
ing. The Charleston Mercury denounces it, in
the following language:
On consideration, we feel bound to? pronounce
this Extra a forgery, and to inform th- man, who
ever he is, that took the trouble to di-vise, print
and send it to us, that we think him a; very great
scoundrel for his pains.
New Line of Stages from the L ast to the
West.
By an advertisement of A. Wilson &Co., in this
day’s paper, it will be seen that a line <kf four horse
post coaches are now running from Rein® to Gun -
ter’s Landing on the Tennessee River ■) Alabama.
The line connects w'th the stages from jt ic head of
the Georgia Rail Road, and the daily lu‘r of steam
boats from Gunter’s Landing to Decatur, intersect
ing at that point the great mail iout<; f rom Nash
ville, Tennessee, to Montgomery, Alabama; con
necting also with the Rail Road, to Tuscumbia,
and mail stages to Columbus, Mississippi, and
Memphis, Tenne->ee.
The time occup ecl to travel from Nsw York to
the head of the Georgia Rail Ro~d, i| about lour
days ; thence to Gunter’s Landing, 2ccJ miles, can
tie traversed in two days ; making sil: lays from
New York to Gunter’s Landing, on thq Tennessee
River. At this po;nt travellers can take steam
boats and be landed at the depot of the Tuscumbia
and Decatur Rail Road, in Decatur in jour houis ;
in the same time 'hey wo Id arrive in Huntsville,
N. Alabama —being hut little over s.i; days be
tween New York and Huntsville ;—p thence to
Nashville 117 miles in one day; making seven
days from New York.
From Decatur to Tuscumbia the di stance is 45
miles, and will be traversed by Rail Rqad in three
hours; making days trem New Yhrk to Tus
cumbia, thence to Columbus, Mississippi 117 miles,
making days from New York. From Tuscum
bia to La Grange, Tennessee, 1-0 miles in a;.out
20 hours: thence 50 miles by Rail Reg: to Mem
phis, in 4 hours, or in 1 day from Ttjscurabia to
Memphis, making 8) days from New York
It is believed that this is the most expeditious,
economical and pleasant fine of tiavek which can
be put in operation from the Northern c-ities to the
isoutli Western section of the Union. ;it will af
lord to merenants and business men of lut section
an opportunity of visiting the South Atlantic cities
■ without deviating; from the the best relute to the
North ; will tend to increase the business of those
cities, and add to the profits of the Railways upon
the line of road. It will enhance the v;jl le of real
f
estate along the route, an 1 more especially, will
bring into notice its peculiarly advantageous loca
tion for a grand fine of Rail Roads- from the
South Atlantic seacoast to the Great West.

Bancor, October 21, 1840.
Two of the young men who accompanied the
boundary commissioners, have arrived in this
citv. lam informed that the whole ground has
been carefully examined, and that llife commis
sioners are on their return. Their report will
probably come to us by the way of Washington ;
and until we get it, we must put up! with such
information as may casually tall from those con
nected with the expedition.
.( am informed that there is not a diiubt upon
the minds of the commissioners, tied the line
.claimed by the Americans is the trui s:ne; and
that no person who makes the effamir. i ions with

Gentlemen:—The newly elected Legislature
of New Jersey assembled at the State House yes
terday afternoon and organized by making the
following appoin'ments, (all of which are Whigs,)
viz:
The Hon. Joseph Porte”, of Gloucester coun
ty. was re-elected Vice President of the Coun
cil. (State Senate.)
Robert E, Hornor, of Princeton, was re-ap
pointed Secretary of the Council by a vote ot
twelve Whigs »o five Locos; one Wing being
absent. The state of parties being, in the Sen
ate, thirteen Whigs, to five Locos.
The Hon. John Emley, of Burlington county,
was appointed Speaker of the House of Assem
bly and Samuel Prior, clerk, by the large majori
ty of forty-one Whigs, to twelve Locos, that be
ing the state of pa-lies in that branch of the Le
gislature.
The Governor has just sent in a capital Mes
sage this morning to the Legislature, in which
he speaks out the plain hut firm language of a
freeman of the Jersey soil—he calls things by
their right names. I shall forward you a copy
by to-morrow’s mail
Correspondence of the Commercirl Advertiser.
Boston, Oct. 24.
We are at wor* hero—l have been admonish
ing the whigs of my ward, in the log cabin. There
is even hope ofNew Hampshire. Mr. Hill has
lately told a friend, that it would be hard work to
pevent the state going for Harrison. He has late
ly spent two weeks there—ami goes again next
week.—Who takes care ol the sub-Treasury. in
the mean time, Ido not know—but it must be his
sub. Mr. Webster is now here.
The editor of the New York American has
ken hold of the co /spiracy affair in the
manner, and is'carrying the war into the «■
of the conspirators with a vigor that has not . li
ly put them on the defensive, but absolutely j.
a portion of them to flight. With Mr. Bull
he deals with the plainness which the circum
stances demand, and lakes him by the oeard at
once, pointing out to him not merely the failure
of the accursed plot, out the gross shame, toe
scandalous disgrace, of a puolic officer treasuring
up a knowledge of fraud without attempting to
punish it, or seeking to hide the crime of false vo
ting by charging similar offence upon innocent
opponents. — U. S. Gaz.
Millington Bank.—The Kent (Md.)News
of Saturday states on Tuesday evening last, that
J.C. H. Ellis, the pr dent of this swindling
institution was committed to the jail of that town.
He is charged “with having been concerned w ith
Weed, Adams, and others in the management i f
the Commercial Bank of Millington, and for con
spiring with said Weed, Adams and others, to
cheat and defraud the public by issuing and cir
culating divers notes ot said hank, and receiving
for said notes a valuable consideration, when they,
the said J. C. H Ellis, Weed Adams,and others,
well knew the said notes to be of no value.’’
Such is the language oft :■ writ, and we now
hope to see the matter thoroughly sifted and
prosecuted, and the guilty offenders punished with
the severest rigour.
From the Soathein Christian Advocate.
Georgia Female College.
The exercises o! this Institution were resumed
on the first Monday of the present month.—The
term continues lor U n successive months. It is
important to the interests of the College and con
tributes no little to the advantage of the pupil,
for those who propose to come, to he present at
the beginning, or as soon thereafter as po ible.
In the competition to which a generous and well
directed ambition prompts the student, the chan
ces are decidedly in favor of those whoenter ear
ly. Delay imposes extra du’es and ofieutim
embarrasses the whole subsequent progress. We
are disposed to urge this point, because we know
that very trivial circumstances sometimes induce
parents to postpons the performance of what it is
iheir intention ultimately to do. At the proper
lime, it is perhaps mcuuver ent to start —The loss
of a week or even a month will not make much
difference. It is considered economy to stay
home as long as possible, and good policy too, if
money is to be saved by it, to cut off’a quarter
from the term—a thousand little domestic mat
ters are in the way— the daughter is reluctant to
leave, and so they talk and wait till days, and
weeks, and months steal away—time is lost—ed
ucation arrested, and difficulties and discour
merits are accumulating for the pupil. Besides,
some w'e learn are waiting for frost—apprehen
ding sickness if they come beforehand. This is
true of sonic, we know, who live in the sickliest
counties in the State. 'The philosophy ot this
procedure is beyond our comprehension. If an
experiment of two years duration can justify n
conclusion, then do we pronounce Macon
healthiest city in die Southern States. If ■
were not true of the city, still it might be said
without qualification or abatement that in the in
terior of Georgia, a healthier spot than the Col
lege Hill cannot be found. Let a stranger visit
it, look out upon the far stretching horizon—feel
the balmy winds that sweep over it—drink li.e
delightful water that gushes from its spring, or *
that is drawn from its unfailing well, and survey
ing all the premises, search in vain for any local
ratue of disease, and his firs/ and his last impres
sion will hi —This place is healthy.”—A>k of
the hundreds who have attendee our Examina
tions, if they ever saw a collection of healthier
looking youths ] The pupils have time and space
for exercise, and are required ny law to take it*
We say then to ah our triends, let no unnet
sary fears o! sickness make you detain vopr daugh
ters at home. Send send—send. We want
to see at least Two Hundred Pupils in the In
stitution by the first of January. There are inanv,
very many who have never subscribed a cent to
wards the erection of the College, who may vet
contribute^ to its prosper.ty, and pe petuity oy
sending their children.— W'e appeal to them to
• sustain an enlightened and liberal scheme ot ed
ucation. It is due to your families—to the church \
of God—to all the best interests of the country. ,
We know the limes are hard, but education is j
one of the last interests that should yield to the j
“pressure.'' —Retrench something else. Aban- j
don the luxuries or the table—adopt simplicity j
of dress—curtail the expenditures for which pride
and fashion and vanity call, and send your chil
dren to school—to College. Let education—
sound, practical, thorough, be the capital you lav
up for their future days, ami you make them the
heirs—the possessors of money that never fluc
tuates iu its value, and will always command
character and influence and specie —unless it
ai a time like this. Send to the College, Help
us, and we will hely you. G. F. Pierce,.
The Legislature of this State will convene cl

Two or three years ago, the Government In
spectors of Factories, published returns of the
number of Mills in the United Kingdom, and of
the hands employed in them during the year
1835. Similar returns for the year 1838 laid lie
fore Parliament in the past session, have been
recent y printed. These two volumes afford the
means of contrasting the condition of their manu
factories in 1835 and 1838:
Os cotton factories tnere were—
In 1835 - 1,202, employing 220.134 hands.
In 1838 - 1,315, employing 259,301 do.
Os woolen factories there were—
In 1835 - 1.313. employing 71,274 hands.
In 1838 - 1.738, employing 86,446 do.
Os flax factories there were—
In 1835 - 347, employing 33 288 hands.
In 1838 - 392. employing 43,487 do.
Os silk factories there were—
In 1835 - 228 employing 30,682 hands.
In 1838 - 268, employing 34.318 do.
It thus appears that, during the three years
referred to, nc irly one thousand new tactori
have been opened, and more than sixty-eight
thousand new hands gaged. As will be seen
trom the following ta m than one half ot
the new hands have been absorbed by the cotton

Traxsfkh of Louisiana. —The Baltimore
American publishes from the Crescent City, a
new paper established at INew Orleans, the fol
lowing description of the ceremonies in the trans
fer of possession of Louisiana from the Span
ish authorities to the French and from the French
to those of the United States, in pursuance of
the treaty of I 803.
As soon as the iaiificalions were exchanged, j
Mr. Pichon, the Charge d’Al in s of France at
Washington, sentordeis to Mr. Laussat at New
Orleans, to hold a conference with Messrs. De
Salcedo and Casa Calvo, the Commissioners of
the King of Spain, on the subject of the cession
of Louisiana to the United States. According
ly, on the morning of the 30th November, 1803,
the Spanish troops were drawn up in nt of the
C:ty Hall.
Tire French and Spani'h Commissioners came
there followed by a procession of Hie merchants
and inhabitants of their respective nations. Three
chairs were arranged in tin* C'oun il Chamber, I
and Sa-.ccdo o copying the middle one, Lpussai
presented to him the decree of the loth October
1802. by which the King of Spain oidc-od his
representative to deliver the Colony, to ‘he French
Plenipotentiary. Mr. Laussat produced at the
same time the authority of the First Consul to
take possession of the country in the name of
the French people. A er ’he public reading of
these acts, tne Spanish Governor, leaving his t
seat, delivered him the keys of the city, and the
Marquis do Casa Calvo announced ‘'that the j
Louisianians who should not declare that they
wished to retire under the Spanish authority,
were absolved from their oath of fidelity to the
Catholic King.” At a signal, given by the
firing of Cannon, the Spanish colors were lower
ed and the French hoisted.
The French sovereignly lasted from the 30th
November to the 20l h December, 1803. Gen.
Wilkinson advanced with the United States
ops to the left bank of the Mississippi, and es
tablished his camp on the 18tb I ccernber. 1803,
within a half league of New Orleans. As soon
as this took place the Spanish troops immediate
ly embarked and sot sail for Havana.
On the 20lh December, the day fixed for the
delivery of the province to the United Stales,
Laussat, accompanied by a numerous retinue,
went to the City Hall. At the same moment the
American troops were by his orders, introduced
into the City. Gov. Claiborne and Gen. Wilk
inson were received in form in the City Hall and
were placed on cither side of M. Laussat. The
treaty of cession, the respective powers of the
commissioners and the certificate of the ex
change of ra’ifleations were read.
Laussat then pronounced these words:—“ln
conl'or ity with the treaty. I pul the United States
in posocssion of Louisiana and its dependencies.
The citizens and inhabitants who wish to re
main here and obey the laws, are from this mo
ment exonerated from t e oath of fidelity to the
F'ench Republic.’* Mr. Claiborne, exercising
the powers of Governor-General and -Intendant
of the province of Louisiai a. delivered u congrat
ulatory discourse, addressed to the Louisianians.
“'1 he ces-ioa,” said be, se ures to you and
your descendants the i • ciitance of liberty. pi*r-
I p tual laws, and magistrates whom you will elect
i yourselves.” These formalities being fulfilled.
Mr. Claiborne then declared that the authority of
the United States was established, and the pub
lic officers were duly installed in the exercise of
eir several functions.
A Caution to stare Proprietors ami Dri
vers.—The Frankfort (Ky.) Commonwealth
states that in the tall of 1838, the mail stage line,
‘ owned try Messrs E. P. Johnson & Co and the
opposition line owned by Messrs. McNair &
Weaver, came in contact on the turnp ke road
nea* Shelbyville, by which the mail line was up
set and several passengers had their limbs fractur
ed. Among the persons injured was Mr. Isaac
Laugblin, the driver ot the mad line who had the
misfortune to have one foot and ankle crushed to
pieces, by which he has been made a cripple for
life. He sued McNair «Sc Weaver, the proprietors
of the opposition, for the ury, alleging the
wanton conduct of their driver as the cause. The
case was tried some lime • inr'e in the Shelby Ci
cuit Court, and a verdict was gi iin favor of
Laughlm for $1,900. A new trial was granted
upon application of the defendants; the case was
removed te the Henry Circuit Court, and there
tried the last week, when a verdict of $2,000 w as
given.

“It is a red satisfaction, and affords relief under
the disgust with which a well regulated mind
contemplates the ferocity of our party contests to
find an individual, situated like the author of this
Essay, devoting a por on of his time and his pen

interest is purely historical. There are certainly
but few individuals whose life from early youth,
