(?HRO>’I3LE AND SENTINEL. A i: GT T S T A. " FRIDAY MORNING. NOVEMBER 20. Virginia. As we expected the Old Dominion has Lowed ihe knee to baal; she has cast her vote for .Mar tin Vaa Buren by a small majority. That old s-in aer Tom Ritche, has vaunted considerably about it, and seems to think it a considerable honor l> stanu ■side by side with J. C. Calfioun, in this contest, and sfftim? that Virginia should he called the t lag State of the Southfllhat is too much friend Richie, do not rob South Carolina of the proud distinction of being the Flag Slate of the South fur Martin Van Buren. She is justly entitled to the appellation: she has abused him more than ail the rest put to gether, and therefore should be foremost in the tanks, with J. C. Calhoun and F. W. Pickens as her standard bearers —then let the Old Dominion come up with that prince of principle? and apos tle to all the true principles Tom Ritchie as as her standaid bearer, and then New Hampshire and Missouri follow in the wake, and the proces sion will be complete. No, no, friend Ritche, Vir ginia ca« never be the Flag State of the South, while she has the maatle of Martin Nan Buren thrown over her, a man that has beea repudiated and denounced as until to preside over these Uni ted States a? their chief magistrate by north, south, east and west. Llano and Boston. For the benefit of those of our readers who are fond of the sports of the Turf, we would say that these two champions of the Turtf, are at their re spective stables, in full and vigorous health, and there is every prospect that the match race be tween them, will come oft at the appointed time. Presidential Election. Illinois. The National Intelligencer of Monday says : la thirty-four counties heard from, Harrison's ma jority is 1,457 votes —being a g&in of 1,636 since the August election. There are eighty-seven coun ties in the State, and the total Van Buren majori ty was oalv 1,850 votes. We think thore is a strong probability that the State has gone lor Har rison-. Indiana. In forty-live out of the eighty-seven counties vs this State, the Harrison majority has reached 10,680. Like Oh is, this Slate seems to be all going wue way, and what the entire Whig tnajord} ws-l be n© ®ae can undertake to predict. .Hie hi {?an. Tkh majority ia this State lor the Republican «a*didates, Harrison and Tyler, is a little above 1,- *OO. [The election of 26 Whigs and 11 Van Buren die* to the Assembly (which comprises 02 mem bers) is ascertained. It is stated, also, that there will boa Whig majority in the Senate, North Carolina. The Charleston Courier of yesterday says : A •Up.from the office of the Fayetteville Observer, of •The 10th inst. gives returns from 25 counties, shew ing ft Whig gain in nearly every one. The Resumption. The New York Express of Saturday, 2, P. M. The Boston capitalists and barks have been calleu on by the local banks in the city es Philadelphia, for a loan of two and a half mil lions of dollars, in Post Notes, having twelve and eighteen months to run; and bearing an interest of b per cent. This loan they have accepted, and have invited the New Fork Hanks to participate in the loan, to the extent cf a million of dollars. The loan is to be made in Philadelphia Fundi, and the Post Notes to be made payable in New York. The Banks here hare readily agreed to take their part. The Bank of Commerce has taken more, viz, $230,000 —the Merchants’ and Mechanics’ *IOO.- «oe each,—the Phoenix, Slate, and City all unite, ae that the sum will be made up without the sligh test difficulty, and the amount will not give any iftconvenience, as the New \ork Banks have lull u million ot dollar* in balances lying dead in Phil adelphia, on which they have not for a longtime received any interest; and the Boston Banks have, ut doubt, quite as large a sum lying dead. The ar rangement i? most deniable lor all parties. Georgia illustrated. We are requested to say that tiro publication \>f the first part of this work has been, from un avoidable circumstances, delayed a few days beyond the time specified for its issue, but is now ready and will be distributed to (he subscribers in Georgia, during the ensuing week : Th« following notice of the work is copied • *rom the New Yorker: • Georgia Illustrated.’ —We alluded a few wests ago to the prospectus of a work to be pub lished under this title, and to contain a series of original views of Georgia Scenery, engraved on ateel, with letter-press descriptions. The first number is now before us, and we think it equal in the beauty of its mechanical execution to the beat imported works, and superior to any Ameri can production of its class. i’he first view in lh« number for Janaury, 18T0, is of the State Hemnat Milledgeville; the second, of the Rock Mountain in DeKalb county, and the third of the Oglethorpe University, with descriptions by the editor, Mr. William C. Richards, and Prof. S. K. Talmage. ‘Georgia Illustrated’ will bo con tinued in monthly parte, in quarto form similar to Mr. Willie’s‘American Scenery,’ with two en gravings from original drawing* in each number, at fifty cents for each part, or five dollars a year. Few cistricts possess more romantic or beautiful aconery than the Stale of Georgia, sad we hope this work which promises to make the topogra phy of the State familiar to the country, will be wall supported.

Philadelphia, Nov. 1 6.—The shock of an Earthquake in Philadelphia.— W o were visited oa Saturday night between 9 and 10 o clock, with »u extraordinary storm, accompanied by heavy vivid lightning. Shortly al ter 9, the buildings in various parte ot our city, (rembled and shook for several seconds, as it through the agency of au earthquake. Many ol oar citizens were alarmed, and the pause which immediately succeeded the shock, especially to (hose who were in situations of quiet and repose, calculated fully to experience the terrible sensa tion—was marked by a feeling of awe and solem nity. We have since been informed that the water* of the Delaware were agitated by a heavy etui unusual swell at the same time.

Milcldgevilie, Wednesday, Ibth Nov. When the two houses adjourned their morning session of yesterday, they did so to meet at 3 P. M. to arrange the funeral ceremonies of the lit n. Se nator from Walker, who expired in the morning. , That being dona b< lh houses adjourned till this ; morning. i ° In the House yesterday after my letter was closed ! the time was pretty much occupied in reading ; Bills a second and third time. As I anticipated yesterday the vote in the senate jon the Court Bill was decisive of its fate—on a | motion to reconsider the question this morning, I the Motion after some discu>>ion was decided by | 52 nay to 30 yeas. j In the House this morning, after the call of the counties during which many unimportant and local bills were introduced, tire special order of the day, being the Resolutions of Mr- Flournoy, of Wash ington, on the Sub-Treasury,&c.,came up for con sideration, and the lion, mover has, while 1 write, i the floor, and is making a bold and able defence or r his reso’u ions, and in opposition to the Sub-Treas- I ury. Where or when iho discussion will end, will depend entirely ©n the feeling of the House. ; It is not improbable that they may go oft' on mo ! tion to lay them on the table for the remainder of (lie session, simply because a majority of the Rep resentatives are unwfiing to consume tire time of the country in the discussion of the resolutions un j der consideration. Every days’s observation confirms the itnpres j sun which I entertained at an eaily day of the se?- | sten, that litt’e will bo done of general impoitancc . by the present Legislature, and 1 confess that this , opinion has be, n gieatiy strengthened v the ac ' tion of the Senate on the Court Bill. On the subject of the resumption of specie pay j ments, the indications at present are that the basks | will not be required to resume before the first of ■ February next, if then. And strange as may seem, it i? not improbable that the self-styled Democratic party will make an effort to slave it off even to a j more distant day, in order to protect their party and : its bantling,(the Central Bank) from the indignation of the people. But on this question a few days will show what position they will take, upon thU important and engrossing subject. J. For the Chronicle <y Sentinel. Ilanison, TyicrJancl Keform—l>. K.

Rhode Island tlie* Flag .State. A Whig majority is kvekv County.— I’he Election has resulted most gloriously. The Whig majority (2 towns to be heard from,) is I 1976 in a vote of 8380. If any other Slate can ’do belter than this, sho is welcome to, hut wc | should like to see the vote; if not, we claim the Flaw which is to reward the State giving I lie j largest majority in proportion to its vote. Wc I give returns from all the towns in the state cx j ccpt Charlestown and New Shoreharn, which | will not materially vary the result. Rhode Is land has dune her duty, and has performed the pledge she made when the Old Hero was nomi nated. When our express arrived with the glorious intelligence, a Wing procession was formed at the Town House and inarched through the city : to the inspiring music of the Brass Band, and the far louder vocal strains in honor of Old Tip | pecanoe. Bonfires were made upon Jefferson's Plains 1 and other conspicuous places, lighting up the city with ihe most brilliant illumination. Joy was upon every face, and congratulations ex : changed on all sides by the men whose exertions had been crowned with such triumphant success. Smelling a Rat. —The Cincinnati Public Hedger relates tire case of a lazy fellow in the market who was busily engaged in selling “fine, fat, dressed squirrels,” as he called them. Sud | denly the tail of one of the little animals, which the fellow bad neglected to cur-tail when skining i it, was observed to sticking‘out a feet.’ A bystan j der remarked, that * that was a curious looking ! tail for a squirrel lo have," and upon a * close ex , arnininV as Paddy would say, ‘ the squirrels all ■ turned out to be rats' It sccrns that they have j been in the habit of trapping these filthy animals ; and selling them to lire citizens «s squirrels, for I some time past. —Look out how you buy squir | rcls, friends; this description of the varmint is plentiful in Now Orleans —New Orleans Pit-ay. t une. To Monuow. —This would be a happy world enough were men more content with to-day, and less anxious about to-moirow. One half ot (be ! misery in the world is not real, but anticipated | misery- A concern for this bug-bear “to-morrow” is at lire bottom of a majority of our troubles. And yet if a man will but glance over hisyester ! dav?. he will at once sec how foolish it is to l et i oneself about the time to come; for lie will find ;in everv yesterday a miniature grave as it were, dug by a too fearful imagination, in which is bar i iedait his little store of daily happiness. A pru- I dent thoughtfulness for the future, every man should entertain; but it is worse than folly toper* ! mil the breath of a to-morrow, like a mildew, ;o blight flower© that bloom around our pathway. Ltt us ©ujoy tka suit ©kill© white it is about us; and if baueath the horizon clouds arc concealed ; • why anticipate the gloom in which they will en sh.oud us; Truly has the poet asked : What avails it that indulgent heaven From mortal eyes has wrapt the woes to come, It we, ingenious to torment ourselves, Grow pale at hideous pictures ot our own ' Fnjoy the present: nor with heedless caies Os what may spring from blind misfortune's womb. Appai the shortest hour that rife bestows. Serene and master of yourselves, prepare For what may come; and leave thereat to heave! This is the only true philosophy. It is often the case that an imaginary evil is productive oi more mischief than the real calamity. It ha ; frequently been observed in times of great mortal ity, that where disease carried oti tis one thousand fear dislroyeti its ten thousands. 80 olthe minor j evds of life ; where tire happiness of one is affect - | ed by real misfortune, that of ten is destroyed without any just cause. The truth is, men are not content with their every day happiness. | They slight the good to come. They waste their j daily supply of oil in fruit!e.ss attempts to procure ! a supply tor the morrow, forgetting that he who j replenishes the cruise is inexhaustible. Every i man has <~i' enough in his own lamp to light nun | to contentment, (tha* better name for happiness.) jif he will but use it. aright. But he will not use j it aright, and that is the mischief of it. | Some men seem to act as though there are not ! evils enough already in lire world, besetting us on i every hand, and so they go to work piling up men of straw, converting them at once into so many giants, and then waste their strength and | spirits in battling them. There is not barmy a ; man who has not a lion in his path, roaring like j all possessed.—And yet the growl is al! that is I known of the lurking danger. While to some tins same “ to-morrow »>t j which we ate writing, is pregnant with nothing j but direful evils, toothers it is the great store i house cf hopes and enjoyments. The past is ! nothing; the present is nothing; the future is every thing. Neglecting all the means ol enjoy ment scattered profusely around them, they press on to the attainment of some unattainable good. To them, happiness, tike the bird, Huma. is ever on the wing, fluttering tantalizing!)' before them, but never perching so that they can lay nold of it. And so they wear away their lives, in one j vain, endless chase. Ax Oarmc Saving.—The good humordd ©id ler ot the Boston Post thus darkly intimates to his anxious friends the result of his experiments in hotting on the election : j We had two Whigs washed yesterday, and i put a new suit of clothes on each of them, and i hope the rascals will go to meeting next Sunday I and a-k forgiveness for having bet.

Drier Discourse* Tr.vr—“ There is away ihaf secrnelh right ion man. but ike mj thereof” <V'- | Wc hope it will not be deemed sacrilegious to quote here this sublime precaution from the Ora cles of divine Truth, as a text to discourse from in the manner which follows, although in aid of -objects of somewhat a secular nature, appertain ing however to morality. It may seen right to a man—to neglect paying his debts lor the sake of lending or speculating up on his money, but the end the eof is—a bad pay master. ‘ It may com right to a man—to iivc beyond j his income, bat the end thereof is—wretchedness | and poverty. it may seem right lo a man—to attempt to live up to the fashion of the times ; hut the end there of is,—disgusting to all sensible folks, and ruin ; ous to health, reputation and property. It may seem light to a man—lo attempt to ob tain a livelihood without industry and economy, but the end thereof is—hunger and rags. It may semi right to a man—to keep constant ly borrowing of his neighbors, and never willing jto lend ; but the end thereof is—very cross neigh } hors. It may seem right to a man-—to be always trum peting his own fame; but the end thereof is—his | lame don’t extend very for. It may seem right to a man—to trouble him self very much about his neighbor’s business but the end (hereof is—great negligence of his own. It may seem right to a man—to be constantly slandering his neighbors, but the end thereof is —nobody believes anything he soys. It may seem right to a man—to indulge his children in everything; bet the end thereof is— his children will indulge themselves in dishonor- I ing him. It may seem right to a man—to put off every thing which ought to be done to-day until to-mor ! row, but the end thereof is—such things are not j done at all. In may seem right to a man—lo attempt ploas j ing every body, but the end thereof is—he p!eas | es nobody. j It may seem right lo ;i man—to excel his i neighbors in extravagance and luxury, but the I end thereof is—he excels them in folly. It may seem right to a man—to take no news i paper; but (be end thereof is—that man and his family are totally ignorant of the ordinary occurrences cf the day. It may seem right lo a man—to obtain his news by borrowing and stealing of his neighbors, and fraud uprn the printer.

It may seem right to a man—to be incessantly occupied in hoarding up treasures of this world ; but the end thereof is—ho has none in the world to come. It may seem right to u« —to further extend this discourse, at the expense of the patiease of the reaJer, but the eud thereof is—here. ! I'rem the Canton Pier*. The Chinese Array. The ayns and accoutrements of this formida -1 ble host are of (he most simple nature. A sol • ffirr wears an ri'dinmy j.u:;et, with a border round ; if. the color of which determines the division ito whi h 1,0 belongs, whilst the name ot the ) division i 6 written in front and on his back. ■ If he can afford it ho buys gaiters and a pair of shoes and stockings, but these are no indispensa ble articles •. f wear. instead ol a knapsack, he i only encumbers himself with a canvass bag, into ; which he puts all his valuables and provisions; j and the cartridge box, a small cotton pouch, he 1 wears in front, so that during tiling lie is in great, j danger of explosion, a misfortune which has hap ; penal very frequently. His cap if he has any at all, is of a longitudinal shape, with a srnail | red tassel. The jackets arc of all possible colors —blue, rod, yellow and white ; nor arc they so vciy nice in these distinctions as the European Barbarians. The ancient Chinese were very fond of wearing armor, and in modern times a few of the elite have retained the custom ; it is only, however, on occasions of great state that they appear fully dressed. The uniform of the caval ry does not differ from that of the infantry ; they ride on very clumsy saddles, and use immense stirrups, without spurs. As lor the officers they ! wear long robes either of silk or fur, and their dress is distinguished from that ol the civilians solely by the embroidery in front and behind oi some fierce animal like a tiger, lion or griflin.— All have a ring on tlie thumb to assist them in drawing the bow, and this may be considered as the generic badge of the profession. Every one of them, on occasions of state, slings a bow round his neck and girds on a sword, the former being the natural companion of every warrior.—They J delight in the grotesque, and are fond of paint- I ing tiger heads on the gates of forts, their side boards, vessels, and, in fact, where a plate is found which can be garnished with a head.— Whosoever can procure a tiger skin sleeps and sits upon it; they grind the bones, which are imported from the southern Asia in great quan tities, and make jelly of them, which is a most delicious repast, whilst, the greatest tit-bit a great officer can partake of, is the gall, anti ail this is for the sake of inspiring him with liger-like i out age. They even dress the privates in imitation of the terrible animal, but in this case they do not use real skins but only doited cloth. Such a corps really look formidable, and would perhaps inspire terror to whizzing grap»shot, it ti.c latter could be stopped in its flight. The arms are the pike, lance, spear, halfmoon with hooks and various other implements, double swords, the bow and matchlock. Ol the former there exists a great variety, and they become dan gerous i;i a close engagement. The swords arc badly tempered and next to useless, vet the sons of Ham have an advantage over all barbarians, for they fight with two. Not satisfied with car rying on the work of slaughter with one hand, (hev draw both and go on fencing till their anta gonist is out of breath. They aie very great adepts in the use of the bow, and opposed to any archers of the nomadic tribes, they have invariably in a drawn battle gained the advantage. The matchlocks are of the worst description, the barrel being ca-t and the touch hole very large, so that no reliance can he placed upon their hitting qualities. The sol diers arc averse to their use on account of the many accidents that continually occur, and a brave man looks behind him whenever he takes aim, to preserve his eyesight for a future occa sion. Notwithstanding the reiterated orders of introducing firearms generally, the bow is still retained as principal implement of war. Shields, made of rattan wicker-work, aie universally in use. and afford excellent protection against ar rows. Soldiers cl» not encumber themselves j with a variety of arms ; their an pikemen, swords men, archers, and matchlock men, each of whom has only one weapon, and no other. When drawn up in full array they look the most motley group upon which the eye can beset. We have heard them compared with the military of the middle ages; bnl if the knights and their retain ers make as sorry an appearance as the warriors of the celestial empire, all tiie glowing descrip tions of helmet, breastplate, and late •*, with which ihc chronicles of chivalnc lore abound, teem sadly misapplied. The cannons are of the most varied calibre.— Some arc su small that they are carried on men's shoulders, and placed on a stand whenever ihev are to be used. This is the flying a tiilcry of (in celestial» mpire. The Chinese have, managed to ■ cast immense pieces, which would match with cur forty-eight pounder-, and have in fact manifold variations ct this instrument of destruction. They do not understand how lo bore them, hut the hod , is ready cast of iron, with many pores and c-tten honey-combed, so that they frequently burst, 'f he (oucholc in moreover too large, and the whole without mathematical proportion, and of toarse not able to maintain a well directed lire. Instead of halls they often use stones or pieces of iron of every possible shape. They also avail themselves of grape shot, rockets, and grenades, which, on ac- j count of their clumsy make, prove almost harm- i less. ’ j The gong and a small drum a c the ptineip.il i instruments for encouraging the soldiers to make I on attack. The latter emitting a deafening noise,! is well calculated to rouse martial ardor. They have also horns which sound like concha, but are { not frequently blown. The army is divided into 5, 10 and 100, and ! these again in battalions, camps, brigades, and divisions, rather different from what we are ac customed to. They do not march in those ranks, j nor wheel round and draw up like our soldiers, nor can they be said properly to march. In fact, they walk as they best can, without putting themselves lo any inconvenience, and in lime of need they run in a trot, and whoever is the fore- j most is the bravest. Tho Chinese have a great variety of works 1 upon tactics, and they have advantage of contain ing the experiments made during the space oi two thousand years, and if the officers by study ing them do not become first rate tactltians, there will never another be formed anywhere. The great art consists in drawing up) from ten to one hundred men in a circle, and making them move about in all possible directions, so as to annoy 1 the enemy in front and rear. The whole army I is divided in van. centre, and rear, and each part consists of a number of these subdivisions. At each of those circles stand several standard bear- | ers, who indicate the movements by their flags.; They fall down, rise again, jump forward, yell, strike the gong, form again, then holla out, and thus proceed to terrify the enemy. It is also . customary that the bra>e t ride before the ranks,, and after having soundly abused their antago nists, they challenge the strongest Jo single com bat. This offer decides the whole battle ; and j the party whose champion is beaten thinks it on ly proper to retreat in disorder, or be cut up piece-meal. Engagements where masses fight are unknown, and the whole art of extermirvalion is reduced to mere skirmishing. _ j he army is raised from lire offspring of the soldiers, who are almost all married. It is rather an opprobrium to he a soldier, and the very name of laon-tseang is enough to fill people with aver sion, so that no honest man would enlist. As the army is very badly paid, the privates are ob liged to shift fur themselves as well as they can. 1 hey generally understand some craft or other, j and are frequently engaged ia husbandry. Every I province has some lands which are either culti vated by tne military, or let for their own advan tage. Ihe most propitious time, however, for these heroes ie, when they are on actual ssrvice. 1 hen they find seme opportunity for squeezing and robbing, and their number* insure to them always impunity.
