Wo are requested to state that an error oc
curred in the Mirror of Saturday, in publishing
the May Celebration—and that the Epilogue
was written by u Lady of this city, but that the
prose part of the Queen’s address, attributed to
her by the Mirror, was not written by her.

The Augusta Mirror.
The first number of a new literary paper, pub
lished by Messrs Thompson & McCalferly in
this place, was issued on Saturday evening. It
resembles tbc New Yoik Mirror in appearance,
and contains a number of excellent original com
munications, and rejected articles in prose, ami
poetry. It has also a handsome piece of music,
the words by T. II Bayly, Esq.
This puplicalion in every way so creditable to
our city, wc do hope will not be permitted to
share Ike fate of many littcrary publications
which have gone Lcforc it, in the South, Wc
have the best assurances iliat its contributors
will be among tbc best wriiers in .the Slate, and
the handsome appearance of the first number is
evidence of the tneriiorious manner in which it
will bo executed. We bespeak for it a hand
some patronage!
At an adjourned meeting of the citizens of Au.
gusta, held at the City Hall, on Saturday,the Dili
of May, 1838—in pursuance of the cull of the
chairman.
Mr. Win. T. Gould, from tho Committee of
thirteen, presented the following report and ac
companying resolutions, which were taken up and
read-and upon motion were adopted by the
meeting—to wit:
The committee, appointed to lake into consid
eration the objects ot this meeting, beg leave to
Report,
That they have deliberately considered both
(be subjects referred lo them.
In regard to the escapes from justice, two cases
.only have been brought lo their notice.—As to
like first of these—that of the dea li of Arthur
Brown, —your committee consider it by no means
creditable to ibis community, that a stranger, far
from his fr-ends and homo, should have been
killed in our vicinity, and the act been followed
by no regular judicial investigation : for though
an inquest was held upon the body, their verdict
.simply slated that ho died, from a shut in the
I- left breast —whic h amounts to absolutely nothing.
S' Being advised, however, that further proceedings
iS.vti lbu had in this mailer, yout committee const.
ISLler it unnecessary, as well as unjust to those who
flpmay bo implicated in the investigation, and who
vc-are to bo presumed innocent, till proved guilty,
*fk for this meeting lo act at all upon the subject.
Sj»-. But the c.-cape of Charles Wooster requires
more pointed animadversion.
This man had been committed lo prison, on a
charge of murder. The Judge of the Superior
Court admitted him to bail.
Tho prisoner was placed in custody of Thomas
Tanll, a consiuble; who allowed him lo go at
large, and out ol his own sight; and finally gave
him permission lo go alone, to an adjoining coun- (
tv, for his security.—-Wooster went, returned on
The Rail Road, read to Tanll a Idler, putponing
to be a promise, from a responsible gentleman to
stand as his bail; and Mr. T anll, considering this
as settling the matter, looked alierhim no more.
Your committee believe, that il tbu officers of
the law are thus allowed to exercise, with impu
nity, a discretion, which docs away even with
theyorm* of justice, our criminal jurisprudence
becomes a con emptiblo farce.
They therefore submit the following resolu
tions :
Resolved, That the Attorney General be re
quested to cause a prosecution to be instituted,
at (he next term of the Superior Court of this
county, against Thomas Tantt, lor neglect ofdu
tv, in suffering th-- escape of Charles Wooster,
' And, to aid in bringing the said Charles Woos
ter to justice,
fe Resolved, That it be recommended lo the Ci
ty Council to offer a reward for his apprehension,
in addition to that offered by the Governor.
Upon tho other subject referred to them,—the
suppression of gambling—your committee believe
(bat a due administration of existing laws will be
found effectual. They deem it needless to dwell
on the ruinous effects of a vice, which has blight
ed the hopes of so many parents, destroyed the
prospects of so many promising youth, and
brought so many families to misery and dis
grace.
The actual extent of the evil, among us, msy
not, perhaps, be known Your committee have
credible information, that at least ten regular
gambling establishments are constantly kepi up,
in this city and its immediate vicinity: and that
j a * Ifcsst thirty individuals reside among us, whoso
i sole support is derived from the gaming table,
r I his number docs not include the servants, ban*
1 gers on,and dependants) of those persons, who
must amount to many more.
In a place of tho size of Augusta, the exist*
enco of such a mass of vice is perfectly appalling
Your Committee believe that it calls for reme
dies the most active, and measures the most ti
gorous. And they cannot hut notice, with re
gret and censure, the indirect encouragement,
which this evil receives, from men of standing
ami inlluonce in the community. The proses.
Monal Gambler may well complain of the une.
i qual administration of justice, when brought to
the bar for dealing at laro ; while others, who
win and lose, money, at mere genteel games, in
their own houses, are not even prosecuted.—
While the surest mode of ciaificating this vice
is to make its indulgence a degradation ; the I
surest way to perpetuate it, is to make it lash* I
ionablc. Where men of fortune and standing j
lead, others will follow. A son will not easily :
he persuaded to aeoid what h s father practices ; j
and many a patent owes, to the imprudence of
his own-example, tha ruin of his children.
Your committee would hope, that the conside- I
rations, suggested to their minds, hy the mere j
dilution to this subject, may induce those, who
indwlge in private gaming, to m V.u the sacrifice,
which they owe to the morals of tho community.
Then can they, with perfect propriety, unite in
those measures, which have become indispensa- j
tile, to deliver our city tnnn a corrupting pest—
a withering curse.
While your committee believe, as before sta*
led, that the due adminisliaiiun of existing laws
is all that is required to cure existing evil.-;
it is evident that, to secure such an administra
tion, there must be an union of those who wish
our moral atmospheie purified : and nothing is
more desirable, than a public expression of their
views, and wishes, and determinations. Bcliev.
ing that the principal object of this meeting is to
obtain such an expression, your commiUeu sub
mit tlie following resolutions.
1. Resolved, That this meeting will sustain
by its hearty co-operation and approval, all offi
cers of the law. whose duty it is, and who make
it their business, to suppress tho view of gaining,
in ibis city and county.
2. Resolved, That our Grand Juries bo, and
they hereby are, earnestly requested to m,.ke dili
gent and constant investigation into tho facts
connected with this subject: and to prosecute,
without disliction, all persons implicated.
3. Resolved, That his honor, the Judge of the
Superior Court, and thu Attorney General, be,
■ rid they hereby are, respectfully ami earnestly
requested, to lend their official aid to the oljccts
of this meeting, hy enforcing, to the utmost, the
penalties of the law against this class of offend
er*.
4. Resolved, That these proceedings be pub
lished, and that the Chairman of this meeting
furnish a copy thereof to his honorJudgc Schley,
with a request that he will lay it before the Grand
Jury.
5. Resolved, That tho Town Council and
citizens of Hamburgh he, and they hereby are,
respectfully requested to co-operate with this
meeting, in suppressing tho vice of gaming : and
that the Chairman communicate to Henry
Shultz, Esq Inti ndant of Hamburgh, so much
of the proceedings of this meeting, as relates to
this subject.
Mr. James Harper offered the following resolu
tion, which being seconded, was adopted, to wit:
Resolved, That this (neoting earnestly recom.
mend to every individual, and more especially to
every parent and every head of a family, to dis
countenance the practice of playing it such games
of chance as are usually resorty gamesters;
as m e of the surest mean-; :ng the
formation of habits of g buyout!;
of onr community.
Mr Janies Harper a)s. *.a. ... .ok:.ring re- .
solution, which, being seconded, was adopted,
to wit:
Itetolved, Tnat it be earnestly recommended
to those who control or patronize the amusement
of horse racing, to exert their influence to prevent
the race course,from being, in future, ns it has
been too often, in times past, the favorite resort
of gamblers and their deluded victims.
Dr I’aul F Eve offered the following resolu
tion, which, being seconded, was adopted, to -a:
Resolved, That in order to entry into effect
the objects of this meeting, wo respectfully sug
gest to the City Council, that it is now expedi
ent to establish a Police Office in Augusta, and
so to reform the municipal government of the
city, as to place tho mayor effectively at thu head
of the Police, vested with powers adequate to tho
duties and responsibilities to be imposed upon
him.
On motion, Resolved, That the three result),
lions last adopted bo published with the other
proceedings of the meeting.
On motion the meeting then adjourned.

WASHINGTON, May Ist, 1838.
The Speaker laid before the House of Kepro • 1
scuta ives to day a communication from the Se- ]
cretary of State enclosing (be credentials of John '
P. Kennedy, the now member elect from Haiti- |
more. A law of Maryland requires that the Go- 1
vernor shall transmit the credentials of thcßuprc- j
sentalives in-Congress to the State Department:
They were ordered to be placed on the files of j
tho House in the customary manner.
Mr. CAMBUELING presented a statement j
ftom the Secreiary of the Treasury showing the
condition of the Treasury. It is in a worse state
Ilian last week by six hundred thousand dollars.
The unfinished business ot yesterday was then
taken up—the report of the Duel Committee, j
Mr. ADAMS bad moved, it will he remembered, j
that the papet purporting to be the Jlcjiort of |
the majority, and ail the otlnr papers, and the
motion to print he recommitted, with instruc- i
lions to strikeout all the argumentative pan and the
resolutions, and report only the facts anil tho evi
dence; and also that the Committee he discharged
from tho further consideration of the petitions i
referred to it, and from any inquiry into an alle
ged breach of privilege. The question pending 1
whtn tho House adjourned, whs on a motion of
Mr* Dr.can to strike out the words “ purpor
ting to ij tbe,” which he considered as redacting
on thy'iSkmmitteo.
Mr. AD.‘»MS (who had moved the instructions)
after some explanations justifying the use of those i
words io withdraw them and modified j
his modon accmJSjigly. | I
Mr. KEED coin(j a incd of misrepresentation in !
tho papers as though ho had opposed the inquiry t
at the outset, though he had voted sot it, ami da- i
precating a similar misrvprescntaiion of his vole
in the present case as evincing a desire to sup- i
press the testimony which he disclaimed, and on i
the contrary avowed his desito tha: it should all
appear, but at the proper time
Mr. THOMAS expressed his hops that (he
House would clearly indicate its wish as to what !
1 the Committee should do before it sent the re-* j
i port back, anj is » 'co- of the opinion of (be
* I
House on this head, moved to strike out tiio lattoi
, part of the instructions which propono to dis
t charge the Committee from the question of a
5 breach of privilege &c.
‘ ELMORE expressed groat satisfaction at
. this motion as tending to relievo bis mind from
> embarrassment.
Mr. PETRIKEN demanded the yeas and nays
on the motion and they were ordered.
Mr. ADAMS opposed the motion as tending
rather to perplex the Committee than to relieve
it from embarrassment.
I he question was then token on motion of Mr.
, 1 HO.M AS to strike out the latter part of the in-
I B,r uclions and decided by yens and nays as fob
lows yeas 9ti, nays fiS. So the I louse refused in
eliect to dischaige the committee front further
proceedings on the question of privilege.
I Mr. RARIDEN now moved an amendment by
| way of substitute for Mr. ADAMS’ proposi ion
j ot amendment that the committee re-arrange their
Journal so as to show in a connected series the
questions | u', the answers given, and what ques.
lions were rejected. On this motion Mr. TOLL
j CL V demanded the yeas and nays,
; .Mr, RARIDEN consented to withdraw this
| amendment for the present, in order to offer it at
, it subsequent stage after the question of rrcom*
I mit neni should have been settled.
Mr. MEhEEIi suggested to Mr. Rariden to
I b met id Itiv motion when made by adding to the
| .instructions that the Committee report a b'tfl to
I present duelling in the District ol Columbia.
Mr. ELMORE stated that the Semite bill on
j that subject had been considered in the Commit-
I tec and amendments proposed to it; and was rea
dy to be reported.
Mr. 1 OLCL V said be bad the bill on his table
for the purpose of reporting it when in order.
Mr, ADAMS commented with severity on the
irregularity ot the Committee’s proceedings in not
noticing ibis hill on their journal, which was the
principal thing prayed for in the greater port of
the memorial referred to them. Mr A then ac
cepted Mr. Rariden’s motion instructing the Com
mittee to re arrange their j urnal &e. with the
addition proposed by Mr. Mercer to instruct the
Committee to report a bill against duelling as a‘
modification of his own motion. The question
now therefore was on adopting this instruction.
Air J OUC LV defended the Committee.—
1 heir journal applied only to the investigation
of the causes and circumstances of the duel.
This bill was a separate matter, and there was
no propriety in mentioning it upon their journal
Mr ELMORE explained what the Committee
had done in regard to die Senate fill.
Mr LEGARE expressed his tegiel that Mr
Adams should have accepted the sngge.s ion us
Mr Mercer, it only went to complicate thequen
tion, anil to propose a measure which must be
practically uwflfuMnl m •u]Y]ii«anns Uvt (.vil b
aimed at.
Mr THOMAS opposed the instruction* a*
modified. •*
Mr DELL then addressed lire House, and was
desirous of entering on the general subject of the
regularity of lha proceedings of the Committee
anil the power ot the House on the premises, but
alter many explanations touching the question
of order, die Chair persisted in the opinion
that it was not in order in debate on the motion
tor instruction to go into those questions, and
Mr H reserved bis remarks for a fuluto stage of
debate.
Mr CHAMBERS spoke at length in support
of the instruction, and in the course of hi» rc„
marks glanced with no little severity at tho upin
ner in which the evidence had been taken in the
Committee, ihe House, however, being nearly
empty (owing us was understood to the horse
races on the neighboring course) he moved an
adjournment. He withdrew the motion, how*
over, at the request of Mr Sherrod Williams who
moved a reconsideration of tint vole by which the i
House had rejected the latter branch of Mr
Adams’ instructions, discharging 'he Committee
from the consideration of the question of breach
of privilege, and from the remarks on the sub
ject of the duel.
Mr BOON suggesting that there was no quo
rum present. Alter some confusion the Chair
counted the House and reported that 105 mem
bers only were within the bar. There being,
therefore, no quorum. Mr Adams moved a call
of the House. He observed that ns the religious
servicea of t lie day were probably nearly over,
the House might expect those who attending upon
them soon to return to the public business.
Mr, CHAMBERS moved an adjournment,
which was carried, M.
WASHINGTON. May 2, 18.18.
In the Senate to day, a bill for granting a
right of way for roads and canals through the ,

The bill belore the Senate on Monday for the |

grants west of tho Mississippi was also linally
passed. 39 to G. ,
Mr CLAY then asked the Senate to take [up,
his resolution touching the Government, the
Banks, and the resumption of Specie payments.
Mr WRIGHT moved its reference to the
Committee on Finance.
Mr CLAY wished for some reason for this i
moli n.
Mr WRIGHT would answer no further than .
to say that he thought it unnecessary.
Mr OLAY pressed the, consideration of the j
resolution rpon tho attention of the Senate as a
wise measure of government policy. •
Mr CALHOUN spoke at, some length in fa- ,
vor of the sub-treasury bill, and against a Na
linnal Dank. Ho wished these questions all to
be brought again before the Senate.
Mr BENTON spoke with great vehemence
against the resolution.
Mr NILE'S also opposed if. '
Mr KING of Ala. was in favor of reference. '
Mr TIPTON opposed, and had no notion of
refering a matter to a Committee which was no- t
furiously..hostile to the measure.
Mi PRESTON spoke mainly in defence of j
the resolution. ,
Mr DAVIS replied to Mr Calhoun, and an- t
swered his defence of the substritasury hill. The |
debate continued at length; Messrs. Calhoun,
Clay ami Wright discussing the propositions to
refer, which was canted 27 to 20, —when the
Senate adjourned.
After some private business the House resu
med the consideration of tho report of the Coni- (
mitlee on the Duel —the question being on the
motion ol Mr. Williams of Ky-, to reconsider the
vote by which the House struck out Use second
branch of Mr. Adams’ motion to recommit. ‘
There being not a quotum present, o csli of
the'House was ordered end proceeded in till 175 1
members answered to their names.
‘Mr WISE protested against a suspension of the
call, until tho attendance of the absentees was en
forced.
The doors were closed anil the names of absen- ;
tee* entered on the journal. The doors were open- j
ed and the cull suspended when Mr. WIL* 1

a Mr. ADAMS took the floor ami spoke is sup.
■ port ot the motion for some hours. He stared
,l that liu main object in arguing this course was
it to bring the discussion and proceedings of the
House on tho subject to a conclusion, by n shorter
s process than that which the report indicated.
Mr. WILLIAMS of Kentucky renewed his
j motion Hi reconsider'the vale, striking out that
i) part ot Air, Adams’motion to recommit, which
discharged the committee from all further consi
. deration of the question whether there has hern
any breach ol the privilege of the House commit'

i Mr.'l HOMAS of Md. spoke in ieplv to the

.Mr BOON followed also nr reply to the gen-
I Usman from Mississippi.
i Mr MURRAY moved to lay the report and the
r whole subject on the table.

Mr FLETCH ER of Vermont, wished, he said,
the whole subject to go hack'to the Committee.
He moved to add to tho motion the reference of
the petition on the subject of tile duel to the
Committee with instructions to report upon the
same,
Mr MERCER said, the Commiilco had reports
ed upon the petition.
Mr ELETCHER said they, hail reported, it
was trua, but that part of the report was not sent

Mr LOOMIS moved to arnaotl by adding the

From the Richmond Enquirer.
The Elections in Virginia.
It is idle to despond ; but we are beaten in Vir
ginia. Wo have lost ilie House of Delegates.
We still retain the Senate. After making every
allowance for the exaggerated accounts which ru
mor has wafted in our ears ; and after the mosr
favorable cstinmles of all the remaining counties,
we admit at once that the Whigs have carried the
House by at least it) or 13 majority—perhaps
from 13 to IC. They may even have as great a
majority in tho next House of Delegates, ns we
hail in the last. They can already count up 48,
nndyqmu.ling Franklin, CO Delegates, which they,
have won, to 20 ofourown.
Allowing the counties which arc to come in,
to ho the same ns they were lust year, and we
should got about 37 Delegates to their 31.—This
estimate would give them in the House 71—anil '
the Republican parly 03. But as some of the
same causes may be fairly expected to operate
up fl tl tire residuary counties, as have shed their
malign ulluencc upon the others, though not in '
the same proponion, we ought to allow a heavier |
majority to the Whigs than the above e-tirnatc •
asciihes to them. We would nnwchcrfully com ;
promise fur a majoriry ot 10 or 12.
There will in all probability ho no changes in
the Senate against lire Administration. We shall
make one gain. Wo dare not calculate upon any
more. We scarcely apprehend any losses. The
parlies, when they arc arrayed on their old par. i
ly grounds will probably stand as twenty one to
eleven. Though wo may not have strength I
enough, on joint ballot, to prevent the election of
a Whig Senator to the Congress of the (J. S., j
yet the Senate is strong enough to checkmate the .
political mo linen vres of the Whigs in lire House, I
No resolution can pass, to instruct Mr. Roane 1
oiil of his seal —none eon he carried in favor of a
Bank of the United Stales. From Ibis galling
shame,at least, the Old Dominion will he safe.
We mean not to disguise the truth—We wish
to conceal no fact, however unpleasant to us ; or
to break nfflhc force of the shock, by any sophis,
lical glosses or puling complaints. i
We, therefore, declare the following to ho the I
stale of the game.—Wo have lost 3 Delegates in I
Albemarle.—l most probably in Alleghany—l in j
Amelia—l in Amherst—l in Brunswick—kin
Buckingham—3 in Campbell—l in Charles ,
City and New Kent—l in Culpeper—l in Fair- i
fix—3 in Franklin —1 in Frederick—l in u
Greensville—l in Jefferson—l in Meiklenhurif
—1 in Powhatan—l in Rockbridge—l in South- !l
amnion—23.
And we have gained only Mlaffird—and iioon ,
in King George—making 21 nett loss against us j
—equal to 4G voles in the tale of rhe House.— i
This is had enough; anil wo should he satisfied d
o rein tin fir rue -utce in the residuary counties, ‘j
But we can scarcely dare to flatter ourselves with (
Mich a result. „
