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. The following communication should have ap pealed before, but was accidentally mislaid: COM XV NI CAT ED. 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,” E. 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.

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.

Whi'J • 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.

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.

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 ciples of Christian i quality, hy associating | I with them, as though tho color of the skin j was of no morn consequence than that of ihe hair ui:d the eyes.” V>i:« is Hie Geiitieinuu.

Ho . is a man who can box the compass; knot, splice , hand, reef, and steer; who can run aloft with ’ the nitnbleness of a cat; and keep his fooling on a rope, ns fearless us 11 spider on his web. Who rocks little whether he sleeps in Ins hum mock, on the round top, or at the bottom of the ocean ; who tears neither storms, nor a hostile sail; who cares not a great deal fur money ; whose hand is ever open at the cry cf distress; who loves Ins wile next to Ins ship ; cannot abide a fellow who comes in at a cabin window ; bales meanness and despises a land lubber, Clmrcoul Sketches, Tliose contributions of Neal to the rending public are full otlmmor, amjl.be beiA nnlidoiu for hypochrondriu that wo have met With since the days of Pickwick. 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.

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.

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 hiiandaid of Lmion. , George .Stapleton, Foreman—Samuel Clark Ivy VV.
