CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL. A UX> US T A » MONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER J4L ... Editor's Correspondence. Milledoeville, Thursday, November 12. When I closed my letter of Tuesday, the two ■ - houses were engaged in making Militia Generals which resulted ia the choice of Messrs. Blackshear of Thomas county, and Warthen of Washington county. Having accomplished this the House ad journed over till this day for the alltdged purpose of attending the commencement ceremonies of the Oglethorpe University, ueai this city, and" altho many were sincere in their professions of that ob ject. it is shrewdly suspected that other honorable gentlemen gave countenance to it for the purpose of attending the sports of the Turf which are al so going on near the city. The Senate however not being disposed to seek relaxation from their duties sat during the day, without however transacting any important busi ness. In the Senate yesterday an effort was made to bring up the resolutions of the Senator frdm Mus- : cogee, to bring on the election of Senator to Con gress, but there being a majority of the Adminis tration Senators present the Senate refused to take them up, and it is supposed and even feared that they are determined if possible to give the matter the go by for the present session of the Legislature under the hope that the succeeding Legislature will place in their hands the power, and enable them to place an Administration Senator in the va cancy of Wilson Lumpkin. Being desirous to witness the ceremonies of Oglethorpe University, I in common witn a large and highly respectable number of citizens and leg islators repaired to Midway, the seat of the insti tution, which bears the honored name of the illus trious founder of the colony of Georgia. The number of the graduating class was eight, all of whom delivered addresses, highly creditable to themselves and reflecting much honor upon their tutors and the faculty. When the degrees had been conferred by the President upon the graduates, the Hoa. Eugenius A. Nestrit, in obedi ence to a call of one of the literary societies of the College, delivered before the Phi Delta and Tha lianaocieties an oration, characteristic of his high reputation as a profound scholar and chaste and graceful orator. In the Senate this morning the Senator from Paulding, Mr. Jones, has called up the resolutions introduced some days since, to suspend the opera tion of the Western and Atlantic Railroad for 12 months. The resolutions are new undergoing a rather animated discussion on a motion to lay them on the table for the balance of the session, which motion it is quite probable will prevail. Since the foregoing was written the motion to lay on the table has been withdrawn, and the far ther consideration of the subject deferred. The two houses are now progressing in the elec tion of State Printer and another Militia General, i The first ballot fer Pricier has just concluded without a choice. The mail is about closing and I :annot keep open this communication to give you ;he result. In the House to-day nothing has transpired of my interest. Yours, " J.‘ Milledgfvxlle, Friday, Nov. 13. When I closed my letter yesterday the two hous es were engaged in endeavoring to elect a Printer, and after five ineffectual ballots, the Senate retired to their chamber, and adjourned till ten o’clock this day. Last night the advocates of Reform in Milledgc ville gave vent to their joy, with which the news Torn New York and the East inspired every bosom, sy a most beautiful and brilliant illumination, which went off admirably. After the illumination, i large portion of tho>e who had participated in the general joy assembled in front of the Hotel of Messrs. Beecher & Brown, and called for Judge Law, of Savannah, who promptly responded to the rail in a brief and eloquent speech, and was fol lowed by Messrs, Flournoy, of Muscogee, Jenkins, nf Augusta, Judge Berrien, and Judge E. Y, Hill, all of whom were called up and obeyed the sum mons, and enchained and delighted for a time the audience. This morning when the two houses were ergan ized the llou e sent a message to the Senate, in forming them th it they were then ready to proceed to the unfinishe i business of yesterd iy, to wit, the election of Printer, Ac., ami on motion of Mr. Gor don, of Chatham, the Semite determined to post pone the election, and forthwith introduced a bill to repeal the law electing a Printer, and to have the printing let to the lowest bidder. The Senate has since been engaged tip to the time of closing my communication, in receiving and reading the first time vaiious unimportant bills. In the House this morning, the only question of any importance that has engaged its attention was the proposition to June the instruciing resolutions of Mr. Flournoy, of Washi gton, which motion was lost, and they were then made the special or kr of the day for v\ edne>day next, 'i he House hen proceeded to the call of the counties, in which tis progressing when this communication closed.. Yours, J. Correspondence of the Chronicle Sentinel. Washington. Nov. 11th, 1840. The last lingering hope of having carried Penn lylvnia for Martin Van Buren is now taken a way from the Federal Locofovos. The Official re turns of the election have been received: the fol lowing results are copied from the official report at Harrisburg. For Harrison, 143,756 Van Buren, 143,492 Harrison’s majority, 261 I have the high gratification to be able to add that the whole Electoral Ticket has succeeded ! The variation between the highest and lowest elec tors on the ticket does not exceed twenty votes. The thirty Electors are chosen ! I give nrom inence to this fact, becau'C many of the Locotocos hoped to vitiate their bets, by the failure of two m the Harrison electors, to be elected. This broken reed even has failed ihcm. New York. The Senate of New York will stand 21 Whigs to 11 Van Buren men. The Assembly Whigs 60, Locofocos 62, Whig majority on joint ballot—l'. rThe majority for Gen. Harrison will be about thir teen thousand. Os Michigan we have returns from seven coun- ] ties, inc.uding the city of Detroit, Harrison’s ma- j jority is 1227. In Buffalo both parties were claim ing the State, though the better informed Adminis tration men conceded that Michigan had gone for Harrison by a small majority. The vote is howe- • ver exceedingly close. From Richmond you will doubtlefSly receive ( J I j ; newi es Virginia one day later than I could send : you ' The result there, is regarded in this c ity as -yet ia some degree doubtful; though-,the chances are va saver of Martin Van Buren. Georgia has done nobly ; and a voice of congrat ulation and praise will break upon the cars of her patriotic citizens from every part of the Union. J _ j * D. For ths Chronicle Sf Sentinel'.' , ' *. To t 'fie Honorable, the Senate and House of Repre sentatives of (he State of Georgia in General A\%ranbly met: ~ ' gl’.ntlemen —Doubtless your attention has been directed to a Memorial addressed to you through the jicoSumns of the Chronicle & Sentinel of this city§ under date of the 10th inst., signed by a num ber ts the citizens of Augusta, stating the obliga tion* due by Banks to bill-holders —what condition .those institutions, “ prudently ” managed, should now* be in, and calling upon you to require a gene ral Ini? early resumption of specie payments, and enf©;rc3 the same by law. These gentlemen have,of course, examined well the question, and are actuated by the public good. The w riter of this will, from conviction, take the othf: nideof.the question. He addresses you over an i: acinyiiieas name —if his arguments convince, a nr. tie is not us moment —he will here observe is t\ tirely in favor of banks paying specie—tegrets a si ever took place, and is anxious for a saft sure, and permanent resumption. A a early resumption must be but for a day, and wh a every debtor to the Banks will have been solcfoiiu. then the Banks will follow in turn —sus- pend slgaui —and a long farewell to the poor and houfsi; man’s best aid. V\’h;it is the present state of affairs in Europe ? The great Powers about to draw the sword to di vide perhaps among themselves Turkey and Egypt —a blow struck, and what becomes of your Cotton, our o|i!y available means of paying our debts ? It wip be a useless drug. And to carry on this same war tlie gold and silver (now in the United States) would command a premium, and like all other ar ticles of trade, would fitd the highest market—to Europe it would go on the wings of the wind, des pite a U your legislation. Hoping peace instead of wai; (proving we live in an age of reason.) will prevail, and all things move on well in Europe, whj;t ),s our situation at home ? Tihci Government itself a borrower —the States * ■ all borrowers —their securities nearly all at a dis cou£t-;—a numoer of the Banks in other States bor row«rj. —the people all more or less in debt—pro perty,) if saleable, at a miserable price—the is suejof|l:he Central Bank now in the hands of the peobhs at 8 per cen* discount for current bank bills —Si|id| with a resumption, would scon cec.,;i- to cir culate!, bei ause the Bank cannot redeem them, and the holders could not dispense with their use un til shp realized her tong and do ibtful paper or Baij-k locks. By your own declaration, me crop of in the Atlantic States is very deficient —b.iti owing to the excessive crop last season, priest very low—under these circumstances, you arelcjdled upon to require a general and early res-jmjption. This is the state ot things in the cociitjy— this the rcquiiement. Now, can the pia|it ; ” pay the merchant? if not, (as I know «ev|n|eighths cannot,) how is the merchant to pay his-d<|bts to Banks? and if not, of what henefi? wilt a Bank resumption be ? A resumption at this tinfr cannot add to circulation, for I take it for granted that no one will contend, but that so long as thei indebtedness of the Slate is beyond the abil ity of the State to p y—so long, (as is now the cas4) must the exchanges bo against her. To re sume how, will not be to issue aid pay coin, but to cinjte issuing, simply because tuon.-y would be lost by the business. = *1 I? :|ay be said Banks should never issue if they do hol| pay coin. I answer. Banks would always do ?o If the people paid them. Exchanges it may be saijl, should never be at a prem.um. 1 answer, the pjemium benefits the produce::—for it adds to the vijlue of the crop, and if the planter's d 'bis are the State, is so much gain. Pass a law that the Bjnks shall resume, and the result will be that buiiri|ss is to Li Is of exchange against taken at interest oil I —to this extent they will i|sue, and call in debts due them to the ex tent their present limited circulation—a few moriljj and the cotton crop is sold —their circula tion if retired—the debts hue out of the State set tle.! J t par —the cotton crop sold for a diminished price r-and things worse than now , as the circula tion will be less —who then will be benefitted— tin; planter ? No. 'i'iie Banks ? No—only the party; indebted abroad. Another view of the case—has Pennsylvania re sumed-—when will she? Is a proposed issue of Pust-riotes at twelve months, specie payments ? Gentlemen, 1 call upon you to act cautiously.—■ “Rome was not built in a nay’’—ycu cannot relieve the country and restore the currency by a simple resolve —Banks aie anything at present than mo ney making concerns—great and important in terest'; are involved—the currency question has put at fault the first and most experienced minds—the system has been built up with care, and by degrees —it can be exploded in a moment— what you do, be sure you have reflected well upon —ano her suspension, and the banking system (our great lever as a trading people,) is undone—a sure, safe, and permanent resumption, and we will have light where darkness now reigns. This jou can prepare for, but cannot with prudence enforce, for it can only take place to continue) when exchanges are in favor of the Slate—the result of good crops and fair prices—diminished indebtedness—econo my, and small foreign pun bases.

The town of Nakitchevan has been lo’ally destroyed : all the buildings oi Eivali more or less injured; and the whole of the village* in the two dislrictsof Scharour and Sourmata have perished. The cotton anu rice plantations are all laid waste; but the immediate neighborhood of the mountain itself has been the scene of the most awful calamity. A huge mass slid from the mountain, overwhelming every thing and person in its progress, tor a distance of seven werst« (about five English miles.)— Amongst others, the great village of Akbouli has had the fate of Her culaneum and .about one thousand inhabitants have been buried beneath the fallen rocks.

As current rumor goes, pigs could not course lire street there with the impunity they do here. In a vast kiln, the cooking ollhe pulse for theconsum lion of this town of Daniels daily goes on, and pork which unctuates the otheiwise dry mass, is driven in'alive and whole. AH this, be it understood, is the assertion of the hogs of Charlestown, the pumpkins of Rowley, the Marhle-heads of Marblehead, and otner ene mies of the ancient town which once formed a part or precinct of Salem. No Bcrvely man will confess the impeachment true in all its counts, I though many of them are ready to go their death on bears, as Gov. Hamilton was on bis sugar. - The vessels from Beverly take out an abundance of the article among their stores, and it is a mat ter of report that a Beverly vessel once signalized herself in distiess for provisions, on coming home. Assistance went down, and it was discovered that nothing was deficient in the harness cask, or meat barrel, there was water enough on board for a month longer, and bread and potatoes sufficient for the same length of time. The only article deficient was—beans! and without them the mariners would not and could not support the fatigue of working their vessel up the harbor. That, probably, however, may be mere fiction, and, as veracious chroniclers, we are bound to stick to facts. In the fall of 18—, a large number of American vessels were assembled as usual, at Constadt, in Russia; and wherever there is a large naml»er of American vessels in any port, you are pretty sure to find some of them cjmman ded by captains from Cape Cud, and,so along shore in Massachusetts; and very .likely to find among these Massachusetts boys, a small sprink ling of lads from “Beantown.” The youth there a r e amph bious, and f r om padding and living among the docks, are not unfrequen.ly seen with scales on their feet—particularly when they have been catching fish. Among these American captains at Constadt, there was one thorough blooded “ beaner ” Ask him the particular characteristic of America, and he would tell you it is the continent on which Beverly is situated. Enquire into father details, and he would mention New Fork, Pniludelphia, Boston, and some other villages, as also situated in the United Slates. But Beverly was always uppermost; it was his Jerusalem, to which, after all nis wandering, he “calculates” to return. So do many others; and surely it is no had place which clings thus to the hearts of its wandering children. That our captain was roasted like parched pulse among his countrymen, the reader will easily guess. He bore it all in very good part, without a word of complaint, hut looked unutterable things. He retorted upon his fnends with the soubriquets of their places of nativity ; nut beans stuck the best, and while all Jones on him told well none of his jokes told upon others. He was decidedly in a most hopeless minority. One morning the flag of our Yankee frrend’s vessel was discovered banging at hal mast.—Oth er American captains immediately answered the signal, out of respect to their friend, and all the American shipping then in port displayed the same token of rnouming. E»ery body was asking the news, and the occasion of this testimonial; hut as nothing disastrous pertaining to the gener al weal of America was heard of, the conclusion was very naturally reached, that some one on board the Beverly vessel was dead. Several Englishmen, out of general respect to their dis tant connexion, the Americans, out of courtesy to our friend in particular, hoisted their ensigns at half mast too. and some of the French ve»sels followed suit, so that the Constadt mole was pret ty generally clad in mouning. Enquiry soon possessed the captains of the fact that no one on board the Elizabeth was dead, and the last and certain conclusion to which th»y arrived, was that Capt. L. had got the news of the dtalh of his w*fe. The fact that he had not made his appearance on shor**, strengthened this opinion. Capt L. was a universal favoiite. and it is justice to other shipmasters to say that his misfortunes cast a real gloom over ah their faces. They pitied him. and thought of their own wives, children, and friends, and each as he thought of the possibility that the next melancholy intelli gence Tom home might be far him, repaired at his earl cst convenience, on board Capt. L’s ves esl to offer condolence- Sailors may not he always capable of the fin ish and accuracy of speech which concent insin cerity ; hut they jare honest in their assertions, and pretend to no sympathy when they do not | feel it. Capt L. sat on the locker in his cabin; I his elbow rested on a table, and his head un bis : hand. His grief had as yet found no utterance in words, and the cabin was filling up with visitors. I Silence would not iiave answered so they began | to throw consolation in by random shots. I “It is hard to lose a man’s wife,” said one, “hut i we must all die.” i That did not seem to hit the Captain’s grief; and another tried. “ I felt the loss of my child three years ago, but Heaven has been kmd, and sent me another.” The wound was not yet probed. “When a man’s mother dies, who has lived on ly for him, as a boy may say, it is natural and pro per to feet bad; and a man must have as little feeling as an anchor-stock who don’t.” The bird did not fall from the bush at this, nor at any other of the saillies of the visiters. At : length it was time to go and one of them stepped ; forward with his hand, and feeling as awkward as any body would, who was about to make a speech and knew that every body is looking at him. “ Well Capt. L.. we know it is not decent nor ship-shape, to perplex and annoy a man with questions, who is in trouble, but we should like, before we go, to have you put it in our power to know, and for what to feel lor you.” Capt. L. slowly arouse, with ail the narks of orep grief on his crunteuance. “ Gentlemen,*-’ he.commenced, and did not have to call their attention twice, “ I iiave indeed met with an afflicting dispensation. That 1 shah be able to support it I have no doubt, especia.ly as I have the condolence and commiseration of go many frunds. Great as is my grief, I will briefly state it. My steward, gentlemen, neglec ted. until it was too late to provide them for this day’s dinner, to inform me that there are on board this vessel —wo hkans!” The lisun rs ’odeJ from the speaker to each other in astonishment. The first stared vacantly, tnen smiled; then laughed; then shouted; and three times three as uproarious cheers, as were ever uttered, rung in the little cabin. It is unnecessary to say that alter this Capt. L. heard no more taunts about the pabulum of the infants and aciules of his native town. From Flo'rida.—The Pensacola Gazette of the 7th inst. says: “By the Scbr. Rio Grande, Cap tain Jenkins, arrived this morning from Tam pa Bay, we learn that the Indians have again broken laith and left the whites to wonder ul their trea hery; On breaking loose at Tampa, they killed one man. firing seven halls into his body scalping him. within a few hundred yards of 2500 troops. On the day the Rio Grande left, Gen. Armstead started with a regiment ot men for Fort King. 1 hus ends this last attempt to form a treaty with the Seminoles.” A new invention has been made public in Eng !°nd, having for its object a greater security on railroads. It is rendered halt impossible for the cars to run off the tiack ; for by elevating the line of rail sufficiently high above the ground, a large portion of the carriage body will go oel<>w the .wheels on w .jch they rql».;—These wheels are to L-e on each ot the carrriage, making the centre es gravity much nearer the rail than at present. *»* - COitniEßClAir^ 885 * Latest dates from Liverpool.. .. 7^7"" — Latest dates from Havre , ” “ \ Uc [ ob * 2 0 ctober 29 , SavAHNAH, Noreinhi ( Colt on.— Arrived since the 6th l4 ‘ bales L pland and 44 bales S, I Cotton 3,25 at the same time 2573 bales Upland and Off : S I, Cotton; leaving a stock on hand.SZ- bt,e> all on shipboard not cleared on the 1- . e «f I 4263 bales I pland and 107 bales S.
