As this will lie llio last opportunity wo slinll have of addressing through the, columns of on. Weekly paper, those ol our firtuds who reside in counties remote from this place, we cannot per mil it to escape without saying u few words of caution and admonition to them. We are on the eve of an election in which fo r many considerations, our success is of deep and lasting importance. It is important to the success of those great and paramount piineiplcs of State Rights which lit; at the foundation of our political ciccd; it is important to the charactar oflho Stale to have a reprcscnlntion in Congress capable of maintaining and defending the rights of their con stituents with dignity, energy and ability ; it is important to fix tlie condemnation of the people of Georgia upon the coirnpl and profligate practi. cos which have grown up under the late and pro- | sent administrations of the General Government; \ important in fuel for every reason that our organ j izaiion as a parly is important. Impelled by nil j these high considerations let us rally to the polls with alacrity, energy and confidence, in ilia 1 strength which carried us triumphantly through the hist election. All that is required to ensure success is unanimity in action, and utidiscoura. j ged perseverance. To the polls then, once more |wc say, Slate flights men of Georgia ! To the Tolls ! tlinllli nl Charleston. ' The phatleslon Mercury of yesterday say* : j “According to the report of the Hoard of Health, I published to-day, there have been ninety-two j deaths during the'week—of these (i 8 from Strati' j gers’ fever—a greater amount of mortality than j ever hefoie repotted in this City, from a similar cause, during the same peiiod of lime.

Mr KiiNDAi.t, positively denies the authorship, and Mr. Paoldino, though he declines to take any public notice of the paragraphs aitiihuling the libels to him. declares lo his friends--that he did not write them. Benton has often manifested the same spirit in the Senate with regaid • to" I lie Navy, and used almost the very same language. Mr. iii hum: has recently established an agency of the Bank of the I idled SlaU-sPof Pennsylva nia, in this city ; and the Treasury Department is daily drawing its drafts upon this agency, which are paid in notes signed hy Nicholas Biddle!

On their Northern ! frontier, the Indians are hostile, and wo all know j how harassing and distressing their inode ot ligh ! ling is. The Camanches, ISeminolea, Creeks and t Oherokecs ran fnr.dsh nearly as many warriors j jas there are lighting men in Texas; and there is evidently a disposition, on the part of the MexT | j cans, to pay those tribes to light their battles. From all we know of the character of General j ] Lamar, we think he is not likely to remain a pa- j lient spectator of procrastinating, predatory indi- | an warfare. One of his first measures, we think, 1 | will he to rinse a considerable army, with which j j he may hope to compel the Mexican Government | to abandon their Indian allies, and acknowledge I the independence of Texas. This, however, cannot he done without means; one of which may lie the passage of a law, offering large bounties of land to volunteers. For a year or two, at least, to come, Texas can hardly he eon -dered as holding out those inducements, which heads of families and quiet people look for, when seeking a home. I'vum the anil Ti'tim Register, Snpl ]. The Camnianchies must soon become tired of ; hostilities, as they have been unsuccessful and ! 1 driven like timid deer in every skirinnh that lias ; teeontly taken place with our citizens, Ou the loth nit., a party of about two hundred warriois made an attack near the Armijo Seco, upon a company of twenty one men, commanded by Col. Karnes. Hut diey were completely defeated anil driven from the field with the logs of several of their best warriors and a number of horses. ! it is believed that Isamani, a distinguished chief, j was killed in this engagement, and another chief; named Casemirn was dangerously wounded He was borne oil’ by several attendants who were obliged to ride on each side of his horse and hold him up in his saddle. Not one ot the men under Col. Karnes was injured: ho, however received n slight wound from a nlle bullet which grazed his temple. A few days after this engage ( merit, a small party of Indians stole about (bit tv horses from a settlement on the La llacca. They were instantly pursued by the citizens of the neighborhood and overtaken. A trifling skir itrsh ensued, in which two Indians were killed and left upon the field ; the remainder effected their escape. All the hor.es were retaken, and! thirty or f rly oilier horses were captured with ■ 'hem. About the same time a small party of! j Indians were discovered near Haslrop; l ot they i I had hardly made their appealancc, when a com ' 1 1' "tv of .citizens were . tab. died and m full p,i r . | ( -uil, They however el fee led j Hili-'y l>y dispersing In a thicket near the inoun. j lams. These. Indians appear to he now held by I the citizens.of the frontier in complete contempt. They have hitherto been dreaded tamely because j credit has been given to the ridiculous stories j which the Mexicans have originated respecting ; their prowess and formidable numbers. The ! citizens of Bastrop county alone, could easily | repel an attack from the whole tribe ; and parties 1 from that place have frequently penetrated into j the “very heart” cf the (Jammanehic country. State Debt ok Pi. .s ss v t.v a via. —On the ■ 18lh of August the Shale debt of Pennsylvania, as officially ascertained, was #-4,330,003,32 vc. ry nearly the whole of which has been expended 1 by the (State in the construction ol works of In i rind Improvement—Turnpike Hoads, Canals ami Kill roads, —and when the works which the 1 White is now prosecuting tire finished, her debt will rise to full #d0,00(1,000. This at (he first I blush would appear to be an enormous huilltcn for any Stale to sustain, and yet it is the result ol ' the voluntary action of the people, who by tbeir I representatives in the Legislature have willed that the debt should be contracted on their behalf, j The sound wisdom of the policy which has with 1 so liberal a hand expanded million aher million j in the establishment dfvirtificial channels of trade : that penetrate every part of hur vast territory, is j rxemplifie’il hy the comparison of Pennsylvania j as she was before that policy was commenced, 1 and what she lias since become under its magic j working influences. ’The increased value of pro j pony of every description has altoady indirectly I paid the debt many limits.over. In lact, no true estimate can bo rnadu*yijc|bc amount, of benefits which has resulted to lilts .people of Pennsylvania from their Internal Improvement system, audit will he recollected, each successive year, increases in a rapidly progressive ratio the vast aggregate of prospetilyL-Jjjowing from this source, lint it is not only TnSfrcclly that the works of Pennsylvania are productive. The direct re venue derived from bills thus far in the fiscal year is nearly $BOO,OOO, and by the period of Its termination it will probably reach $l,OOO 000. Had not the freshet taken, place which in June last destroyed thirty miles of the Canal on the Juniata, and has proved a-seiious drawb.icls.to the business and reveriucs < of -the' Line,* there Is but little doubt that Ihp .tolls of the year would have reached $1,300,000, or innio—ma king a gross return of five percent, on the whole amount of the Stale’s debt. The principal por tion of the revenue from lolls is derived from that part of the public works known as the* Main Line —extending from Philadelphia to Pittsburg. The Canals above the Juniata, including those on both Branches, costing about $5.py0,000, have produced but little revenue to’ the Stale for want of an appropriate outlet from Columbia directly down to the Chesapeake. That outletJs now in the course of const ruction, and its completion will at once bring such an amount of new trade into action that the Stale’s revenue from tolls in 1810 will be but little if any short of $3,000,000. — Hall. Am. q| Cheat Excitement at Galena. — A gen I,’;,,man colled at our office, who was just from (Jale.’ta, and informed us that, on Wednesday last, all business was suspended there, and a gen eral excileiii>mt pervaded the community, in con sequence-of u,no of rhe contractors by the name if Dougherty having left the works with the full irnouru of bis esimv;.'le in bis pocket. The fa vorers were much in need of funds in consequence >f a general prevalence ol a sickness fatal in most ascs along the whole road, particularly to chil- Iton. Their condition was deplorable enough with their wages; hut, when deprived of them, it is belter imagined than described.—Upon hearing Unit Itieir employer bait absconded, they rushed ■ into Galena, and, at lasl dales, the inhabitants I were all in arms to protect the bank and oilier 1 monied buildings from depredation. When he | left. Wednesday evening, the excitement had not at nil subsided and troops worn enrolled and being stationed for the night. A letter from Hock liiver confirms the above. Chicago Democrat. Dkciikctation of the (ioi.it Coinage.— The subject of the gold coinage is beginning to attract the serious attention of the private bankers in the city, its depreciation in weight now causing an immense quantity of sovereigns to be rejected by tire Bunk of England, to the extent, some persons assert, of one half of all the daily payments which arc offered at. that establishment. In this course tin.' Bank of England is justified undoubtedly, the object of the regulation being to prevent the prac tice of “sweating” the gold coinage, as that nefa rious practice is termed, by which a number of sovereigns are shaken in a bag, which is after, wards burned, and the gold dust collected from the remains. Owing principally to ibis practice the depreciation in the weight of the gold coinage is so rapid that by experiments made at the Mint in the year 1833. ii was found that the sovereigns of 1817 had lost 8s lUd. in each hundred pounds ; ; those of 1831, !)-. Idjpcr hundred jhhuse of 1835 i 6s. 8 1.; and those of 1829, (is. 2d. per hundred ; whilst on the half-sovereigns coinage in 1817, the ! loss according to the same experiments, was as ! great as 16s. 4d. per two hundred ; of 1831, Kls. I Oil ; of 1835. 13s. 6,(d. ; and those of 1829, 6s. 3d. per two hundred half-sovereigns. At this lime the quantity of gold rejected hy ifio Bank of England, and by the Customs, Excise, and Slainp office, is so seriously complained of by the mercantile interest, that some remedy for these ‘ inconveniences and losses must bo found, it is I thought, before a very longtime.— London .Morn ings Chronicle.

The Providence (If. I.) Journal conlains some marvellous particulars of the pranks of die fate 1 whirlwind near that place. In passing through Cranston, it drew all the water and fish from i Tongue pond, and likewise from a pond of sever al acres in extent, on the farm of Mr. John Burr. A powder house, containing ten ca-ks of powder, was carried oil', and no traces of either the build- ! log or the powder have since been discovered. The same paper also says that an old woman in Cranston, a professed fortune (oiler who sloid in her door, broom in hand, when the tornado pass ed. was borne alolt in tire whirlwind, amidst trees lorn up hy their roots, the ruins of houses, and whatever else bad l ain in the path of the tempest; hut true to her character, she rode out the storm, and descended uninjured. The suspi cion long entertained'hat the old woman holds converse with spirits of another world, has thus become ce tainty. Had this old woman lived in the days of Salem witchcraft, she would certainly have been burnt for a witch, or drowned. Printer's Proverbs. —l.
