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 lin, (V B) 768. For Congress, Hogan, (W) 1071; Reynolds, fV B) 770. 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.” I Virginia Special Election. I The special election in Noiihampton county, : fur a memhcr of the House of Delegates to till a : the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr * j Savage, resulted in the election of Dr. George ] T. Yerry, Whig 1 , by a majority of S 3 votes over his Administration Sub Treasury opponent, . From the Lexington ( Ky.) Intelligencer, August 10. 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 House ; and Morgan [Whig] is doubtless elected 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 ceived its quietus. We have heard of little vo. ting for it, and all who are not (or it are counted against it, whether they vote or not. 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. phorc,” , 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 > fore, Resolved, That Dr. James King, Hon. Wra. B. Reese, J. H. Crozier, Esq. Gen. S. D. Jacobs, Thomas W. Humes, Robert King, Coi. Matthew ' McClung, and James Park, Esq., be appointed Delegates to attend said Convention. D. A.

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. From the Charleston Mercury.

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.

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 North. Capt. E. thinks that they bad escaped from North Carolina, as the boat in which they were, appeared to be North Carolina built. Wii.MitroTojr Route. —The steam packet Governor Dudley, Capt. T. J.

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 tiful Similde mol him at the gale, with her daughter in her hand, while the little one al ways leaped mid cried, ‘Father, Father! belo 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.
