CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AUWUSTA.
Friday Morning:, .tune J.
We learn by the Milleilgcvillo papers that the
Governor of this Slate has been informed that
General Scott has received orders not to enforce
| the treaty with the Cherokees
Mississippi Election.
At length we have the official returns, complete
of the late election in this Slate. It appears from
the Secretary of Stale’s Proclamation, that S. S.
Prentiss had 12,722 votes; T, J. Word, 12,077?
J. F. H. Claiborne, 11,776; James Davis, ll.»
346.
Northeastern Boundary.
It appears by our Eastern papers, that further
\ trouble is apprehended on the Northern Irontier,
growing out of the jealous and irritable feeling
among individuals on both sides of the dividing
line between the United States and Canada.
The schr Eliza Ann at New Orleans on the
23d bom Mataraoras, had on board from $70,000
to $lOO,OOO in specie. She left the blockading
squadron off Matomoras on the 15th.
It is said that Gen. Tipton, United States Sen
ator from Indiana, declines being a candidate for
re-election.
The Tuscaloosa (Alabama) Monitor, says, that
Gen. George W. Crabb, at the tequest of a largo
number of citizens, has consented to become a
candidale to supply the vacancy in Congress
from that stale, created by the death of J udgo
Lawler.
The steam ship Cuba was sold in New Or
leans on the 24th inst. by auction, for $39,000
' cash, to a company for the Texas trade. This
boat cost the original share-holders over $lOO,OOO.
The Doard of Directors of the Bank of Ten'
ncssec met a Nashville on I he 19th, for the pur
pose of locating the branches. They wereenga.
ged all day in the examination of statistics, and,
On Tuesday morning located the two branches in
East Tennessee. Kogorsvillc, in Hawkins conn
ty, was fixed upon for the upper or extreme ens
tcrnbranch, ami Athens, in MeMinn, county, for
the lower branch.
The Crops.
The growing ctop of Wheat in different parts
of the State, wo learn, says the vFoderal I nion,
looks far better than they have for many years
past at this season. A much heavier and larger
crop will be reaped than has been made for many
years in Georgia. Oats arc small, and their
/ growth has been retarded by the cool dry weather
which wo have had pretty much all the season.
The corn crops, vve understand, me promising,
but cotton grows slowly, and it is probable the
crop will be much shorter (ban usual.
The late sudden changes of the weather from
heat to cold, arc not only injurious to the crop::,
but calculated to exercise an injurious cffccl upon
the health of our community. During the last
week we have had frost on several morning!. fire
lias hern quite comfortable in our room- ami an
over coat necessary to keep warm out of doers.
I A bill of indictment for murder ha* been found
j by the grand jury of Pulaski county, Arkansas,
j against John Wilson, the speaker of the house
of Assembly Os that slate, who left the chair, and
murdered Joseph J. Anthony, a member, on the
floor of the house.
CiT-ctiKT-KEusKts, a chief belonging to the
Creek tribe of Indians, committed suicide on
board the Steamboat Dolphin, lying at Cincinna
ti, on the 20th insl. by hanging himself. He
was about 70 years old. anil quite a distinguish
ed Chief. The Cincinnati Greys buried him the
next day with the honors of war.

Mu. EniTott—“ Kudditnan” scorns to possess
| a greater degree of modesty than “ Murray but
! I beg to differ from him in his parsing. I have
[ no objection to these forms of expression, viz.:
j has become— has conic —has fallen — has gone,
j &c. instead of is come —is gone, &e. Mr. Mur
j ray, and other philologists to the contrary not
withstanding. “ Ruddiman” says “we cannot;
say is stood ” —admitted, lie says, “ for the |
same reason, we cannot say is become for
what reason 1 He says that “ E.” must cither
admit that become is either a haul 'r verb or an
adjective. I will admit neither. Jlecome is a
formal intransitive assortor; in other words, an
active intransitive verb; that action docs not affect
an object, it is confined to the agent or subject,
hence the per. part, derived from it is frequently
joined to the verb In be. “ Stood,” from the verb
stand, cannot bo coupled with the verb to be. —
Again, ho says, “ to become, has a neuter form,”
but “ passive in its signification.” ,Mr. Murray,
and other writers on philology, have it the other
way.
What. —Now, according to “ Ruddiman’s”
own analysis, “ drunkard” and “ he” mean pre
cisely the same; ho might then,just as well have
said, that -what refers to “ he,” or its subsequent,
as “ Murray” did in his analysis. What sense is
there in saying, “ a drunkard has become of him?’
Just as much, and no more, as there is in the
sentence, “he has become of him.” In parsing
the whut, then, “ Ruddiman” has come no nearer
the truth than “ Munay,”
I will parse tv hat myself. What is become of
i Osceola? He is dead and buried. What is an
interrogative, referring to the answer, and not to
he: “is dead and buried,” is properly the
subject of the verb. In “ lluddlraan’s” answer
to this question, -what refers to the idea contained
in the answer, viz : “has become a drunkard ;’
so in “ Murray’s, what refers, not to “ he,” nor to
New York, but to the idea, ‘'gone to New York,”

From our Correspondent.
Washington, May 28, 1838.
Immediately after the Senate Journal was read
to-day. the Clerk of the House appeared at the
bar with an immense pile of bills, between two
and three hundred in number, for the relief of in
dividuals applying for revolutionary and invalid
pensions, which had passed the House on Satur
day. They wore referred en masse to the Pen
sion Committee. As they had already been
subjected toa rigid and scrutinising examination
in the House Committee, it is probable they will
speedily receive the concurrence of the Senate.
They will carry consolation and relief to many a
war worn veteran, bis wife and children.
Tito Vico President laid before the Senate sev,
oral Executive communications, one Irom the
Treasury Department, enclosing tables ofratesjof
exchange, foreign and domestic, and the prices of
bank notes, &c &c. Another was from the
Secretary of War, informing tire Senate that as
no reply had been made by the Cherokee delega
tion to the propositions of the Secretary, in reform
enco to the removal and indemnity of the Cbero
kees; hut that John Koss, and another of the
' delegation, had expressed their acquiescence in
those measures. Referred to the Committee on
Indian Affairs. Another was from the Post
Master General, in answer toa call made on mo
tion of Mr. Clay, informing the Senate that having
no authority to require the receipt of bank notes,
be issued no orders to that effect, but that Post
Masters generally bad returned to the practice of
receiving the notes of specie paying banks, as
they did before the suspension of specie pay menu.
Mr. Buchanan presented a petition from
Stockton & Stokes, asking interest on the amount
awarded to them by the Solicitor of the Treasury.
The Senate then resumed the consideration of
the resolution on the subject of the currency, the
Specie Circular, &c. which was before the body
several days last week. When the subject was
last under debate, the resolution had been mate
rially altered from the form in which it was in
troduced by Mr. Clay. The clause containing
the injunction as to the receipt of bank notes in
payment of public dues, and the disbursement of
them to those public creditors who were willing
to receive them, were struck but, and all that was
left was the proposition of Mr. Weiisteu, adopt
ed as a substitute for the first clause of Mr. Clay’s.
This simply annuls the Specie Circular, and pro
hibits all similar orders hereafter.
The immediate question pending to-day, was
on the amendment offered by Mr. Mutters, of
Ohio, proposing that the Secretary of the Treas
ury shall receive only such notes as arc authorised
to bo paid out by law to the public creditor.; ;
i that such notes shall ho presented monthly at the
j respective banks for payment, and the specie
1 placed in special dcposilcs ; that the notes of the
1 hanks which shall i- suc hills of less denomination
1 than live dollars, nor any notes which arc not
current in the place "where received, shall be
taken by the receivers of public money.
Mr. Mounts took the floor and spoke at length
in defence of the Specie Circular, the exclusive
gold and silver policy, and generally in support
of the amendment.
He concluded by withdrawing the amendments
ho proposed on Saturday, and offering another,
simply to repeal the Joint Resolution of 18Ui.—
The question being taken on this, it was rejected,
■ ayes 8, nays 30.
The question next recurred on the engrns,
mentof the resolution, being merely Mr. Wcar,
tba’s proposition, and it was carried—ayes 31
■ nays 10.
The Senate speni the remainder of the day in
the consideration of private hill.;.
irousß or- iu:pni:scNTATivi;a.
This !>• ing a day act apart fer the reception of
■ resolutions a great many were presented and
most of them laid over. ;
Among the most important were the f,Towing
By Mr. Cushing a resolution calling (or itjfor

1 North Ea tern Boundary.
Bv Mr. I’i.tmiKLN a resolution in* l rue:ing

port a statement ol'thc condition of the hanks ol
the JJistrict which have applied for an extension
of their charters, also a statement of the names of
such members of Congress ns ere indebted to
them with the amount which they are indebted.
Mr. Russell, of N Y. again submitted his to,
solution (imposing a repeal of that portion of the
Deposite Act which prohibits the reception it
payment of Government dues of tides of banks
which issue bills of a less denomination than live
dollars. Lies over till to mortow.
Air. Summon Williams oil"..red a Joint K,cso
lution setting forth that in the opinion ol many, it
was the intention of the .Administration by tho
i-i.-mo of Tre entry Notes to establish a Govern
moot ILin!;, and that any such attempt to substi
tute Treasury Notes tor a silver and gold curren -
cy, ought to be condemned.
Objection 1 lining made to its consideration, Mr.
W. moved o suspension of the rules, which was
refused. AycaHl, Nays 84.
Mr. Adams adored a resolution, which was
| adopted, calling on the President for all further
information he may have received relative to tho
admission of Texas, and also whether Texas has
withdrawn her application for admission to the
Union.
Tho petitions and memorials, and resolutions
which have been presented hitherto and laid on
the table, were all referred to tho Committee on
j foreign Heim ions.
j Two resolutions on the subject of adjournment
were offered one to close the session on tho third
Monday in Juno, the other on tho first Monday
in July.
A memorial remonstrating against tho Execu
tion ot tho Cherokee Treaty was presented and
laid on the (able. Ayes 101, Nays 74.
Joint Resolutions of the Massachusetts Legis
lature were presented, asking the rescission I Mr.
Patton’s Resolutions, by which all anti Slavery
petitions are laid on tho table without being rend.
A motion was made to lay the Joint Resolutions
on the table, ami carried, Ayes 110, Nays 59.
Mr. flour,nin of Va. made an unsuccessful
effort to get the District Hank hill taken up. Ob
jection was made, and on tho motion of Mr.
■ Cambicling,
The House resolved itself into Committee of
i tho Whole and took up tho bill making appro
priations for suppressing h istililios.
Mr. Git aiiam of N. C. finished his rcraaiks in
- support of tho appropriations for the support of a
, Military Force in tho Cherokee Country. Mr.
Haynes followed with a Speech on the same side
J which was not concluded when the Committee
rose, andlhe House adjourned.

Attempt to set I'm;.
Am attempt was made to set lire to the premia
esatthfi North Westcorner of Church-street and
St. Michael’s alley, in the occupation of Messrs,
i 11. G. Street & Son. A place about a foot in di.
i ametcr was burnt in the floor, under a flight of
, stairs, in a passage way leading from the street.
The fire must have, been placed under the stairs,
r and when it was discovered, about six o’clock
1 this morning, the flame was about the size of that

j The slaves on the premises arc now undergoing
l; ! a close examination by Council. The vigilance
of our Police must render such attempts futile,
and lead to the certain if not prompt detection of
the incendiaries.
The great match race between the Leviathan

Great Loss or Lite. — V e have received
I per the Lonntino, a file of German newspaper?,
1 and translated from the Bremen Gazette of
1 the Glh of Aprd last, an account of a most awn
> fbl inundation in the chins of I’cslh and Ofen
in Hungary; oceas onnd hy the overflowing
of the wnini's of the Danube. The occur
rence took place about the middle of the
1 month ct March, and was attended with as
great a destruction of life and properly ns any
similar event known to history. In the city
of Peslh, tiro thousand two hundred and eight i/
one houses were entirely demolished, mid
eight hundred and twenty seven, more or le-s
injured; us far ns wun ascertained at the list
dales upwards of twenty hundred y ■ o;>Io were
missing. The loss of property is estimated at
abmit twenty millions of florins, or about ten
millions of dollars. Great churls were made
to alleviate the distresses of the sufferers ; the
National Bank at Vienna had offered to aid
the merchants with a loan ot a million of dol
lars ;■•! an interest oft! per cent. The private
Bankers had also offered to lend them several
inilftm-.- at the lowest rate of interest, Baron
Rothschild offered 400,000 llorins at 4 per
cent., redeemable at pleasure, which however,
was declined. Large donations were sent by
the Imperial family, and other person", from
every part, of Germany. The Huron Sinn
gave 40,000 florins; the Baron Rothschild
15,009; the chy of I'reesburg three cargoes
of provisions, and Ketskcmeth forty wagon
loads of broad, meat, &c. The distress occa -
sioned hy this melancholy catastrophe, is rep
resented as very great, out the meal praisewor
thy exertions are being made in all quarters
to lessen it.— Ball. Sun.
Roque Caught.— An Englishman resid
ing at Cambrige, some months since had his
desk broken open, and about $2OOO in gold
stolen therefrom. Suspicion falling upon a
son in law, who was employed as under keep
cr nt the J louse of Correction at East Cam
bridge, and it being observed that a sort of
intimacy existed between him and one of the
convicts, a notoriously bad fellow, they were
both carefully watched. Abmit a week since
the convict applied to Mr. Watson, the mas
ter of the house, for leave to transplant a tree
from one part of the prison yard to another
and better location, which was granted. Sur
prised, however, at the singularity of the re
quest, Mr, Watson determined unseen to
Witness the proceedings. When the hole
had been dug, and the tree placed in it, but
before tiro filling up had commenced, the un
der keeper came from one of the out buildings
and af.er examining tho tree attentively, and
looking cautiously about, slid something Irorn
between his legs into the hole, and after throw
ing in a quantity of dirt, which he carefully
' trod down, he allowed the convict to fill it
up, which he waited to superinleiid. After
• it was completed, the master came forward,
and sending the convict to his cell, remarked,
that ho did not like the location ol the tree,
and directed tho under-keeper to take the
i shovel and dig it up again. This he did very
1 carefully, leaving a quantity of loose earth in
tho hole, which ho was it Iso told to shovel
out, —he did no, and with it also a lilllo bag,
winch was found to contain a quantity of as
, lino gold sovereigns as ever was coined, and
I whicli have since been sworn to as the stolen
. properly. Os course it is unnecessary to add.
that the dutiful son in law is no longer the
keener hut the kept.—Bouton Evening Jour
nal.
Tho Ql.vbo clique are greatly discomfited
and thrown all aback hy Mr. Clay’s decJurn,
tion, that he had no idea of re-chartering Mr.
Biddit’s “Monster” but was in favor of a new
bank. The Globe and Enquirer have for
months been laboring to create tho impression
that Mr. Biddle’s bunk and tiie Whig party are
one and llio same thing. Mr. C’s course has
proven to those worthies that their labours
have been in vain. They will now have to
lake the back track; and we should not bo
surprised, if they should, “ere these shoes arc

Tho follow!rg resolutions were adopted by
a late Abolition Convention in New York.
They wire published in the Philadelphia pa -
pers last week, as the rule lor tho conduct
of the abolitionists. The attempt to act up
to thorn, in contempt of decency and public
opinion, excited the popular indignation and
led to the destruction of the abolition Hall.
“Resolved, That wo, os aboliflonists, will
use ail our influence in having mir colored
friends seated promiscuously in all our con.
giegations: and that as long as our churches
are disgraced with aide seats and corners, set
apart fur them, wo will, as much as possible,
take our seats with i hem.
Resolved, That this convention do firmly
believe that tho existence of an unnatural
prejudice against our colored population, is
one of Ihe chief pillars of American slavery
—therefore, that the more we mingle with
our oppressed brethren and sisters, the more
deeply are wo convinced of tho s nfulncss of
that ant (Christian prejudice which is crushing j
them to tho earth in our nominally free .States I
—scaling up the fountain of knowledge from
their panting spirits, and driving them into
infidelity—and that we deem it a solemn duly
for every woman to pray to he delivered from
such an unholy feeling, and to act out tho prin

I with them, as though tho color of the skin j
was of no morn consequence than that of ihe

murder,to the contrary, notwithstanding.

to promote her w.sites; who gallants her to

An Uniiai'l'y Married Man.— The sub
joined outpourings of a married man, are from
the “Charcoal Sketches” of Neal. Courting
has been aptly termed a paradise, and matri
mony the way from that happy region to
earth again. The following, if true, is a prot
i ty good illustration ;
“What made ycu get, married if you dont
like it 1”
“Why I was deluded into it—fairly delud
ed. I hid nothing to do of evenings, so I
went courting. .Vow, conning's fun enough:
I liav'ntgot a word to say again courting. It’s
. about ns good away of killing an evening os
: 1 know of. Wash your face, put on a clean
dicky, and go am! talk ns sweet as mi, gey ol
raolu . :e.i candy for an hour or two—to siy
nothing of a tew kisses behind the door, as
your sweet-heart goes to the step with yon."
“Wnen 1 was a single man, the world
, wagged along well enough. It was just like
an oimiibn •; 1 v.as a passenger, paid my levy
am! hid’nt nothing more to do with it but sit
down and not care a button for any thing.
K'posing the omnibus got npaot —well I walks
off', and leav- the nun to pick up the pieces,
lint then 1 must take wife and be bunged to
me. It’s all very well for a while, but after
while, gs plaguy like owning an npsot omni
| bus.”
“Man queried M ii.'a zuma- what’s all
I hat about omnibiHsesl”
“What did 1 get by it V’ continued Carnal •
j id. regardless of the interruption. “How
j much fun 1 why 11 jawing old woman and
1 three - qnallcrs. Mighty different from cour
ting that is. What’s the fun of buying tilings
Ito eat and tilin'.; to wear fir them, and vvas
-1 ling good spreemg money on mich nonsense
1 for other pimple 1 And then, is for ism g
i what you like, there’s no sn-.-h thing. Von ;

do notliinj». Instead of ‘yes, my duck,’ and
‘no my door’—''as yon please, honey,’ and
when yon like, lovely,’ like it was courting
times, its n riglar row at all hours Hour
looks and cold potatoes; children and lahlo
cloths had oft' for soap--always darning and
mending, and nothing ever darned and men
ded. 1 fit was’nt. that I’m parth Knlnrly sober,
! I’d bo inclined to drink—it’s excuse enough.
It’s heart-breaking, and it’s all owing to that
I’ve such a pain in my gizzard of mornings.
I I’m so miserable I must sloe and sit upon the
I steps.”
I ‘What’s the matter now , ’
‘l'm gelling aggravated. My wile’s n sav-’
ing eritior—a sword of sharpness—she cuts
the throat of my felicity, stabs my happiness,
chops up my comforts, and snips up all my
Sunday go-10-mcelings to make jackets for
the hoys—oho gives all the whittels to the
children, to make me spry and jump oboiit;
like a lamplighter, I can’t stand it—my trou
bles is overpowering when 1 come to add ’em
Hi’-’.
‘Oh, nonsense ! behave nice—don’t make
j a noiso in the street —he a man.’
‘How can Ihe a man, when I belong to
somebody else I My hours a’n’t my own—
my money a’n’t my own—l belong to four
people besides myself—the old woman and
them three children. I'm a partnership con
cern, and so many has got there fingers in the
till that 1 must burst up. I’ll break mid sign
over llio slock in trade to you.”
VnnsATiurv of I’mxti'.iis.—Printers are
proveibinl for versatility. Edwin Forrest was or
iginally a typo, ami 101 l the composing slick for
the buskin and truncheon. Ilul our next instant,
is oven more remarkable.
Judge I c-.vis, of Lycoming Pennsylvania, oik
of out most distinguished jurists, so late as 1817,
was a journeyman printer on tho New York Dai
ly Advertiser, ho afterwards returned to Lycom
ing—establishing a village paper, which he edit
ed with spirit and talent—studied during Ins
hours of leisure —came to the bar—grappled suc
cessfully with every obstacle, arid fought ids Why
te distinction. Ho was elected to the Legislatur-,
became Attorney of Pennsylvania, and Irum that
oIRco he was appointed President Judge ol the
Court of Common Pleas. His talents are of an
unusual order, it is true, hut his career is suffi
cient example to stimulate others to follow it.
I’IIKSENTJIENTS
Os the Grand Jury of Jefferton County,
Max Tumt, 1838.
Wo the (.Irani! Jury, sworn, chosen and select
ed for tho May Term, 1838, of llio Superior Courl,
have examined llio records of the dift'erent'Courla
of the couuly, and find them kept in a very hand
some slide, and all die records up the present
lime; from a statement of the Clerk of the Inferior
Court it appears that there has pissed through
Ids hands die following sums of money: received
jH.Oiib ail. 1 }; paid oul {j)l,Cl3, for the yt-ar from
' iho IGlh May 1837 to (ho 31st of May 1838,
: leaving a balance in tho hands of the Cle.-k of
* j $72 11 ;}■; and upon comparing tho statement
with the hooks, v e lind it correct.
We would cull the attention of Ihc Inferior
Court to our Koads and Bridges, ami causeways
t generally, ami particularly tho Bridge known as
i Cowart's Bridge, on the Ogeecho, now under
; contract —the Bridge on Big Creek on tho
1 Waynesboro’ road—also Ihc Bridge on William
s son’s swamp, known as Low’s Bridge; and also
the Pine-log Bridge on Williamson’s swamp.
Wu also recommend to the Justices of (lie
Inferior Court to levy an extra Tax for die pur
poseful' keeping in repair our public Bridges and
for other county purposes, us contemplated Iy
an act of tho last Legislature.
Wo also recommend to our Senator and Re
preseiilativos to obtain die passage of nn act on.
diorising the Justices of die Inferior Court to
levy an extra Tax whenever they may deem it
necessary for courtly purposes,
Wu as it Cram! Jury, forming a portion of dm
people of Jefferson county, conceive it to he u
duly wc owe to onr fellow citizens, to tiring
before their notice the contemplated organization
of a Supreme Court, or u Court for the Correc
tion of Errors, so called ; and it is for them to
give such instructions to their Senator and Re-
I presentutives to the next Legislature as may ho
in accordance with their views. For ourselves
we arc willing to admit that iho organization of
o tribunal for the purpose of establishing a uni
formity of practice throughout the Sluie, would
ho important ami nothing further; and wc believe
this could he us fully eli'ccted by a convention at
Judges ut Millcdgcvillo, when all doubt fid legal
cases could bo decided on by a majority of the
Judges of tho d.lt rent Circuits, as con'd possibly
ho done by the coiilcm; 1 ited Courl, Therefore
viewing so many conflicting opinions with regard
to the adaptation of sound general rule to remedy
the evil so much complaint d of, that wc bare our
doubts, whether policy, or tho interests of tho
people require such a court. We are not willing
to admit, nor do we believe that ii majority ol
(lie community wish or over contempla'cd such
a tribunal as has been proposed try Ihc two last
Legislatures and by them rejected. Wc would
therefore respectfully recommend to our fellow
ci'izcns to lake Iho matter into their serious con
sider a; ion that they may he enabled to act advi
sedly on the subject, and in conclusion wo would
rcc imiuend to our Senator and Representatives
in the ensuing Legislature to use their inllucnco
to prevent the crcaiien of such a courl,
In taking leave of his Honor Judge Sidy wo
tedder him our thunks for Ids courtesy and po
liteness to their hoily, and for his prompt!) tide and
dispatch of businu.-o; also we lender onr thanks
to the Attorney Ccueral for his attention to this
body, and request that »o much of these present
meins as arc of a public nature be published in
tho Augu ! i Chronicle and Sentinel and in tho
