Merchants’ Convention.
The Delegates from Augusia to the laic Mer
chants’ Convention, are requested to meet at the,
office of 3M. W. Cocke, at 10 o’clock on Saturday
morning next, the 25th inst.
The Banks in Macon have resolved to resume
specie payments on the Ist ot October.
The fi.st bale of New Cotton was received at
Macon on Saturday last, from the plantation of
J). W. Shine, Esq., of Twiggs county.
New Jersey Banks.
Governor Pennington, of New Jersey, has
issued his proclamation in pursuance of an act
passed at the last session of the Legislature,
requiring all the Banks in that State to resume
the payment of their debts in specie on or before
tire SfUji inst.
in the brig Lancet, from Matanzas'
at Charleston on Monday, stale that the
account of a revolt in Havana by the Government
troops, as published in the papers of the United
States, has been highly exaggerated. There was
some little disposition to mutiny in the soldiery,
but so promptly suppressed that it was confined
to the Moro Castle, and was scarcely mentioned
its prccincls.
The Now York correspondent of the National
Intelligencer states that largo negocialions have
been made in that city of Tennessee State stocks,
to a sufficient amount to place the banks in a
favorable position for an early resumption of
specie payments.
Illinois Election.
The St. Louis Bulletin of the Bth inst. gives
the following returns in full from Madison coun
ty, mi. For Governor, Edwards, (WJ 1273; Car

Missouri Election.
The St. Louis Republican thus sums up the
probable result of the election in that Slate which
closed on the Bth inst. “We may, we think,
without any impeachment of our intentions, just
ly claim fifteen members of the Senate; which,
added to the fifty five, at least, which wo may
claim in the House, will make a joint vote of
teventy. Sixty six will elect a Senator. It will
be observed that we have not claimed many of
those counties to which we might justly set up
pretensions, on account of the uncertainly of the
result.”

1 Kentucky Election.
' I The election has excited but little interest in
, I any part of the State, and our returns are confirm
, cd principally to the adjoining counties.
1 Scott county, we learn, has elected Gano
- [Whig] a)ul Johnson [V. 15.] Pratt the Van Bu
* ren candidate for senator from Scott and Harrison,
’ iselectcil over Patterson [Whig.] Bourbon conn
’ ly has elected Bledsoe and Bayso [Whigs] to the

i | to the Senate from Bourbon and Nicholas.
! i Mason has elected Waddell and McClung
* [Whigs.] to the House of Representatives.
! Fleming has elected Andrews and Blair, (lie
anti-convention Whig candidates to the House.
The city of Louisville has cleclfid Butler and
i Field, both Whigs.
Clarke has elected Combs and Haggard,] Whigs.
Woodward, has elected Thomas F. Marshall to
the House. Clark [Whig.] is no doubt elected
to the Senate from Woodward and Jassamine.
Frankford has elected Charles S. Morehead,
[Whig.]
Jassamine has elected Shankin (Whig.)
Garrard has re-clcclrd Messrs. Letcher and
Anderson, (Whigs.] without opposition.
Wc learn that Dr. C. J. Walker is probably
elected to the Senate from Madison and Rockcastle.
The Convention question has, no doubt, re

The Great Western,
This elegant steamer left New York on the
afternoon of the 16th, with eighty-six passen- 1
gers. The charges on the number of letters she
carried out amounted to two thousand dollars.
“ She took her departure,” says the Star, “ in fine
style, in spite of the stiff blow from south by cast,
much rain and dirty looking weather, all of
which detained the packets in port. She came
round from the Bast River with her British,
American and French colors at mast head, and
moved with great elegance, her quarter deck
covered with passengers, and her hull scarcely |
having the appearance of being sunk at all in the I
water. On the Battery there were thousands 1
collected to see her cleaving so swiftly through a
head wind directly in her teeth, and a heavy sea ,
that was splashing up its breakers on the Battery i
Terrace. As she went up the river past the
Battery she fired a gun, then rounded ihc two 1
French vessels, the Didon hoisting the British ,
ensign, when the Great Western fired again and
was answered by the frigalo. She now proceeded
onward with great beauty down the bay on her j
course to the sea, followed by the Passaic and one .
or two other steamers crowded with passengers. I
The Great Western, as she passed the Didon, i
gave an opportunity of comparing her length,
which is some ten or fifteen feet longer than that
largo sized frigate. Every one was struck
the steady movement and handsome appearance
of the steam ship, as she was seen to groat
advantage, by every object looming up stronger
and brighter from Ihc humid stale of the alrnos.

Commercial Convention. v ’
The following, which wc copy from the Kno»* ,
ville Register, shows that the people of Tennessee ,
are up and doing, in regard to this subject:— i
“Wc have heretofore drawn Ihe attention of J
our readers to the importance of having a repre
sentation, from Tennessee, at an adjourned meet
ing of a Commercial Convention, to be held at
Augusta, on the third Monday of October next.
The main object of this Convention is to establish
a direct trade from (ho South directly to Europe. r
In effecting this object, Bast Tennessee is par
ticularly and vitally ; ntcrested. It is important c
to her because it throws our exports and imports 1
into (he same channel —because, after the cstab. t
lisbmonl of our South-western Bank, (he rale o( 1
exchange in currency will be reduced to almost 1
nothing, and because by a direct shipment of Ihc (
great southern staples, and :t direct re-shipment
of European fabrics, the factorage and commis- (
sions now paid at the north and ultimately by t
(he consumer, will be entirely taken off, and our
foreign fabrics made, by so much, intrinsically
cheaper. These are a few of the great advanta- 1
ges, occurring to us on a hasty relieclion, likely s
to arise out ol the establishment of a direct trade. s
Tennessee dioukl be there to give her aid and L
countenance to the project. It requires the I
simultaneous co-operation of the whole South L
successively to combat the long established line -I
ol trade by the way of the North ; and the great I
interests of Tennessee certainly demand that her '
co-operation should be given. The direct trade c
is but another branch of the great Southern ‘
system of which our great Rail Road and Bank I
are important parts. They are indispensable
auxiliaries to each other.
We are gratified in publishing below Ihe move- ,
tnentsof old Knox on this subject, and we hope '
our sister counties will go and do likewise.
, At a meeting of a number of the citizens of I
county, on the 7th ult., to take into con
t sidcralion the propriety of sending delegates to
the Commercial Convention to be held at Au
gusta, in October next, on motion,
D. A. Deaderick was called to the Chair, and
John H. Crozicr appointed Secretary.
On motion of Dr. J. G. M. Ramsey, the follow
ing resolutions were unanimously adopted :
p Resolved, That this meeting fully approves
of the objects of a Commercial Convention to
be held, by adjournment, at Augusta, Georgia, in
October next, and believing that the interests of
Tennessee should be therein represented—there

Resolved, That Dr. James King, Hon. Wra.

Daily Communication between Savannah
‘ and Charleston.
’ We are happy to learn that a very full meet
* ing of the subscribers to the Association to
i, establish a daily line of steamboats between this
„ place and Charleston, took place on Friday even
ing last. They organized themselves into a
company, and went to work in earnest, by choos
il ing the following five gentlemen as directors, viz.
d Robert Habersham, Elias Reed, Frederick A.
Topper, Norman Wallace and Joseph S, Fay.
” These were empowered “to carry into effect the
e objects of the association with all convenient
despatch,” and wc have no doubt will soon take
r«Mmaa• ...—— ■—» n -
effectual measures. The D.rectors at a subse
quent meeting elected Mr. Elias Rcod, President
of their hoard.
We wish the Company the success it deserves,
and which no doubt it will meet, for cettainly
there is no route that oilers as good an opening
for successful investment, and no measure that
can be adopted that in connection with our rail
road will bring 1 so many advantages to the trade
of Savannah, help her teal estate and developo
her resources, We have been idle long enough,
and now that the bright promise of prosperity
dawns upon us, let us he up and doing. If here
tofore we have had some apology for oursnpiness,
as now its causes have ceased to exist, let us
shake it off and put xiur hands to thu plough.
We do not mean to call upon the merchants
alone, for certainly it is not more their part than
that of the real csta'e owner, the mechanic and
professional man. Let all study their interests
and with united efforts urge forward the good
work. Wo understand that the subscription is
not yet quite sufficient to build two new and
good boats, such as would he required to keep up
a daily line.— Savannah Georgian.

.Messrs. Editors. —Amongst the most singu
lar and at the same time most heart rending cu«
families from lightning, that we recollect ever Ur
have noticed, was one that occurred in St. Peters
Parish on the evening of the 10th.
A small tree standing within a short distance
of a school house, was struck by the lightning
which communicated to the building’ and run in
a horizontal direction along one of the logs, un
til it reached one corner of the building where
two little hoys were silting, both «f whom were
■kilted instantly —one of the boys had his book in
his hand at the moment, and after his spirit had
taken iis flight to another world, the hands of the
corpse continued grasping the book, with all the
appearance of animated life.
Os 20 scholars, all, except four were cither
j badly shocked or burnt, or both. Tiro teacher
was, badly burnt. Os those who were badly
burnt was one boy who was sitiing in the mids
die of the room and between two hoys, both of
whom escaped entirely unhurt, while ho was
ptoslraled on (he floor.
Pm: Stuanoeii’s Fever.—No other conside
ration hut that ol the most severe indisposition
on the part of the editor of this paper, lor about
ten days past, which brought him to Death’s
door, would possibly have prevented him from
previously announcing that the Stranger’s Fever
is now prevailing in this city, to some extent, mid
from the great number of persons now icsidents
here who aie subject to its attacks, we conceive
it a duty the City Authorities owe to the people
whom they govern, to adopt such measures as
may preserve the health of such as have not been
attacked, and caution strangers not to visit us,
until informed that they can do so without peril.
We have held no consultation with any one on
this subject. We have no desire to become alar,

“The most diabolical tragedy ever perpetra
ted was committed in this neighborhood about
5 o’clock, Friday-evening. Two little girls, '
children of Mr. May, were murdered, their j
throats were cut, and their bodies laid across
the road by which their father was expected
to return lliat evening. (Suspicion rests on a
negro man, a negro woman and girl, the prop- 1
erty of Mr. May, and they have been arrested.
Their clothes were bloody, and the girl lias *
confessed that the man and woman committed
the murder.” —Richmond Whig. i

The Collector of the port of New York has ,
published the late Act of Congress for the better
security of the lives of passengers in steam ves
sels, and given notice that, so far as the execution
of it devolves on him, it will be rigidly enforced. '
One of the most impoitant steps in the execution
of the law is the appointment by the District
Judge of each district, of suitable persons com- t
potent to examine the boats and machinery, on 1
whose certilicale the public may rely for the safely ,
of the boats. The law requires that the cerlifu ]
cate shall be exacted by the Collectors on or before

that he was hailed by them and requested to throw \
them a rope, which he declined doing. They
were asked what they wanted and replied some
thing to eat, and were told that if such were their 1
wants they had better go ou shore, being only
six miles from land. On being questioned where
they were from, they answered that they were
horn Texas. They were then very threatning
and abusive. They finally made sail towards the

from North Carolina, as the boat in which they
were, appeared to be North Carolina built.

The Vow—A Northern Talc,
From the German of Frederick Baron, dc Ja ~
Motle Fouquc.
In ancient heathen limes of tho Saxons, n
there happened once a great war with the
Dance. Adallrero, Duke of Saxony who had tl
counselled it, now, in the hour of earnest con- t
Hid, stood at the head of Ins people. There
Hew the arrows and tho javelins; there glanced r
mmy valiant blades on both sides; and there t
shone many bright gold shields through the t
dark fight. But tho Saxons, at every attack,
were repulsed, and were already to far driven !
back, that the storming of a steep height could |
deliver the army and the country, disperse the <
enemy, and change a ruinous and destructive i
flight into a decisive victory.
Adalhero conducted the attack. But in
vain lie forced his fiery charger before the
I squadron; in vain he shouted through the field,
the sacred words, “Freedom and Fatherland!”
in vain strcamedjns warm blood, and the blood
of the foe, over his resplendent armour. The
ponderous mass gave way; and the enemy,
secure on the height, rejoiced in their decided
victory. Again rushed Adalhero on with a
few gallant warriors; again the faint hearted
fell behind; and again the enemy rejoiced.
“It is yet lime, said Adalhero; and again he
shouted, “Forward! and if we conquer, 1 vow
: to the gads, to set fire to the four corners of
1 my castle, and it shall blaze forth on a bright
' funeral pile, in honor of our victory and of our
deliverance.”
I Again was the attack renewed, but again
3 the Saxons fled —and the enemy sent forth
shouts of joy.
■' Then cried Adalhero aloud before the whole
y army. ‘lf we return victorious from this
II charge, yc gods, I devote myself to you as s
~ solemn sacrifice!
, r Shuddering, the warriors hastened afte
. r him, —but fortune was still against them; tin
it boldest fell—the bravest fled. Then Adalbert!
in deep affliction, rallied the scattered banc
and all that remained of the great nobles col
lecled round him, and spoke thus;—
in ‘Thou art our ruin, for thou hast counselle
ic this war.’
r . j Adalhero replied ‘My castle and myself
B 1 havedevoted to t” goTls for victory, and what
B can I more!’
’, . j Jlc ; s ; 1(i multitude ca'lcd only (lie more to
° ■ ~ T llou nn our ruin > for thou hast conn
* soiled tins war.’
Bhen Adalbero tore open his bosom, and
'"iplorod the Mighty Cod of Thunder to pierce
* ” ,nl with a thunderbolt, onto give the victory
to his army. But there came no bolt from
r Heaven, and the squadron stood timid, and
t followed not the call.
In boundless desnair, Adalbero at last said
‘There icmains only that which is most dear
. tome. Wife and child [ odor to thee, thou
Cod of armies, for victory. My bcantilul
, blooming wife,—my only heart loved child,—
. they belong to the Great Ruler iu Asgard,
t with my own hand will [ sacrifice them lo
, thee, but I implore thee, give me the victory!’
I Scarcely were these words uttered, when
. fearful thundering rolled over the field of bat
> tie and clouds gathered round the combatants;
and the Saxohs, with fearful cries, shouted,
* with one voice,‘The gods arc with us!’ With
. invincible courage forward rushed the hosts, —
1 the height was carried by storm and Aduibero,
1 with a sudden shudder, saw the enemy flying
■ through the field.
1 The conqueror returned home in triumph;
and in all parts of delivered Saxony, came
wives and children forth, and, with outstretch
ed arms greeted their husbands and fathers.
But Adalbero knew what awaited him, and
every smile of an aflcctionalc wife, pierced,
ns with a poisoned dart, bis anguished heart.
At last they' came before Jiis magnificent ens
ile. JIo was not able to look up, us the beau

ved father!’
Adalbero looked round on bis people, in or.
dor to strengthen himself, even there he met
niiiili/li, ni, ,1 l.ln . j . . _ i*
quivering eyelids ami bit tor tears, for among
Ills warriors, many had heard his horrible
vow. IJe dismissed them to their families,
feeling what, happy men, he, the most iinhap.
py, was sending to their homes, then rode iaio
the castle, mid sending the domestics away un
der various pretences, sprung from ins horse,
closed (lie gates with thundering sound, secu
ring them carefully, and pressed his beloved
wife and child to his heart, shedding over them
a torrent of tears:
‘What is the matter, husband!’ said aston
ished aimildc.
‘Why do you weep, father?’stammered the
little one.
‘We will first prepare nn offering to the
Gods replied Adalbcru, ‘and then I shall relate
every thing to you. Come to me soon to the
hearth.
‘I will kindle the llainc, and fetch, in the
meantime, the implements lor sacrifice,’ said
sweet Similde, and the little one cried out
clapping her hands.
‘1 also will help, I also will be there,’ and
skipped away with her mother.
These words ‘I also will help ; I also will ho
there,’ the hero repeated, as dissolved in grief,
lie stood by the flaming pile, with his drawn
sword in his trembling hand. lie lamented
aloud over the joyful innocent child, and the
graceful obedient wife, who brought the bowl
and pitcher, perfuming pan and taper used in
sacrifices. Then it passed through ins mind
that Ills vow oo»W not be valid, for micU nor.
row could not linda place in the heart of man.
Hut the answer was given in dreadful peals of
thunder down from the heavens.
•1 know,’ said ho, sighing heavily, ‘your
thunder has assisted us and now your thunder
calls on your devoted believer for the perform
ance of his vow.’
Similde begun to tremble as the frightful
truth burst, upon her, and with soli tears, she
said—Ah '! hast thou made a vow? Ah! hus
band, 1 see no victim, shall human blood
Adalboro covered his eyes with his hands,
and sobbed so terribly that it echoed through
tho hall, and the little one, terrified, shrunk
together.
Similde knew well such vows in ancient
times. She looked ontreaiingly to her lord,
and said Remove the child.’
‘Both, both ? 1 must’ then murmured Adal
bero, and Similde, with a violent effort, forcing
back her tears, said to the little one, ‘Quick,
child, and bind this handkerchief on thine
eyes; thy father has brought a present for thee
and will now give it thee.’
‘My father looks not us if ho would give mo
a present,’ sighed tho child.’
‘Thou shall see : thou shall see presently,’
said Similde hurriedly ; and an she placed the
bandage over the eyes of the child, she could
no longer restrain her tears, but they fell so
softly that the little one knew it not.
The affectionate mother now tore the dra
pery from her snow white bosom, and kneel
ing before her sacriliccr, beckoned that she
might be the first victim.
•Quick, only quick, whispered she softly to
the lingerer, else will the poor child be so
terrified!
Adalhero raised tho dreadful steel—then
roared the thunder and flashed the lightning
through tho building. Speechless sank the
three to the earth.
As the evening breeze rushed throbgh the
broken windows, the little one raised her head,
from which the bandage had fallen and said—
‘Mother, what present has my father brought
to me?’ The sweet voice awakened both pa
rents. All lived, and nothing was destroyed
but Adalburo’s sword which was melted by
the avenging Hash of Heaven.
‘The Gods have spoken cried the pardon
ed father, end with a gush of unutterable love,
the three delivered ones wept in each other’s
arms.
Far distant, over the southern mountains,
roared the tempest, where many years after
wards at. lloniface converted unbelievers to
the true faith.
