CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AUGUSTA.
HuONDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 5.
UjT We are requested to state that the Hun.
John P. King has been appointed a Delegate from
this city to the Convention to be held at Millcdg
ville, on the second Monday in this month, in
place of Adam Johnson, Esq., who, in conse
quence of pressing business, declined serving.
At a time when the subject of Internal improve
ment is deservedly attracting so much attention,
■we need not apoligize for inserting in our columns
the charter of the Dluc Kidge Rail Road and Canal
Company, granted at our last Legislature session.
It will be seen that its provisions arc as liberal as
those of any similar incorporation in our Slate,
and each as should ensure the execution of the
designed connection of the head waters of the Sa
vannah and Tennessee by the Rabun Gap. Ibis
route across the mountains has been pointed out
at various periods for the last 10 or 15 years as
decidedly the most direct, easy and economical;
yet its advantages have never, until recently, been
fully appreciated. We hope soon to learn that
measures will be taken to secure the benefits
of this charter, and to add another monument to
the enterprizc of Georgia.
The Abolitionists of New York, through a
Committee have put the following interrogatories
to the candidates for Governor and Lieut. Gover
nor of that State at the approaching election.
«igt. Are. you in favor of a law granting to per
sons in this State, claimed as fugitive slaves, a trial
by jury 1
“ 2d. Arc you in favor of abolishing all distinc
tion in the constitutional rights ot the citizens of
this State, founded solely on complexion 1
“3d. Are you in favor of a repeal of the law,
which now authorises the importation of slaves in
to this State, and their detention here as such, for
the term of nine months 1”
Messrs. Seward and Marry, the opposing candi
dates for Governor, have given almost the same an
swers in substance, to the questions: each answer
ing in the atlirmative to the first interrogatory and
in the negative to the two last. Mr. Bradish the
Whig candidate for Lieut. Governor has answered
each question in the affirmative —Mr. ’1 racy the
administration candidate tor Lieutenant Governor
has not yet answered, but he is understood to
agree with Messrs. Seward and Many. Ihe
Abolitionists have accordingly denounced Messrs.
Seward, Many and Tracy, and resolved to sup
port Mr. Bradish. We shall now have an oppor
tunity of ascertaining the strength of the Aboli
tionists. Whatever majority Mr, Bradish, the
Whig candidate for Lieut. Governor, supported
by the Abolitionists, receives over Mr. Seward,
the Whig candidate for Governor, opposed by the
. Abolitionists, will indicate pretty correctly the
strength of these brawlers.
Cherokee Emigration.
The second detachment of the emigrating Che-
passed through Nashville on the 22d ult.,
westward bound. About fifty were on the sick
list, many had died, and there was great reason
to fear that there would he much suffering among
them in their slow progress towards their now
- homes.
We learn by the Cassville Pioneer of the 30th,
that two detachments, of Clicrokccs left the week
previous for their homes in the far west, leaving
but three or four detachments, which will take up
the line of march in the course of a week or two.
The sick and the aged, the blind and the lame,
will remain until the rise of the waters, they being
unable to go by land.
Health ol Augusta.
Our city continues remarkably healthy. During
the past month our city sexton reports but thirteen
deaths —four whites and nine blacks and colored.
Health of Savannah.
The Savannah Board of Health reports the
deaths of twenty persons in that city during the
Week ending 30th ult. —fourteen white and six
black —eight by Billions Fever.
Macon Races.
The first day’s purse, we understand, was taken
by G. Edmonson’s Charlotte Barnes, beating Lin
wood, Eliza Hunter, and Jane Colbert. Time,
first heat, Im. 55-Js; second Im. 56 Is.
. The second day’s purse was taken with ease by
Mr. Leverich’s Ijara Harrison.
We learn from the Philadelphia Gazette that
the steamer Charleston, lias been bought by an
association of gentlemen for Capt. James Pennoy
er, and that after the most thorough alterations
JBld repairs, she will be sent round to New Or
leans, to run between that port and Galveston,
Texas.
A man by the name of House, was arrested in
Macon a few days ago, on a charge of pass ng
counterfeit money, and bound over to the next
Court. The bills were on the State Bank of
Georgia, of $5, payable in Savannah. He said
be lived near Quincy, Florida.
Tobacco Crop.
Tlio Nashville Whig of the 10th ult. says:—
The Tobacco crop of Tennessee and South Ken
tucky will fall far short of an average yield, say
lull 50 per cent, south of Howling Green, Ky.—
In the counties of Robertson anil Montgomery,
(1 enn.) and Logan, Todd, snd Christian, (Ky.)
10 more than half a crop, we understand will be
realized, while in the Tobacco district above Nash
ville, the result will, it is said, prove still more un
favorable. The price for the article, however,
keeps up to a high figure, and the chances arc that
half a crop this year will pay within one third as
a full crop last season—particularly to those who
sold early last season.
The Cleveland Herald of Monday last has the
following paragraph :
“Breadstuffs ron the East.— From the
17th to 22d of October inclusive, sixty eight
thousand eight hundred and nine bushels of
Wheat, and four thousand one hundred and fifty
eight barrels of flour, were shipped cast from this
port by vessels. No account of the flour shipped
by steamboat, which has been considerable.”
From the Savannah Georgian.
Latest from Europe.
Three days later from Liverpool, direct.
The ship Senator, Capt. Stacy, arrived at this
port last Wednesday evening, and from the polite
attention of the consignees, we received by her
Liverpool papers to the Ist Oct. inclusive. This
is the second time, within three days, that we have,
by direct arrivals at this port, anticipated the mails
from the north. The contents of the papers re
ceived by the Senator, have, in a great measure,
been anticipated by the Hibernia and Burgundy,
but we make some extracts, not before published.
Steam to Halifax, Nova Scotia.—Govern
ment has decided on establishing a line of Steam
packets between this country and Halifax, Nova
Scotia, and the contract will be thrown open for
public competition. Wo need not point out the ad
vantage to commercial communications which will
result.— f Globe.J The steamers to and from
New York will, in all probability, take the contract.
The deviation would not cause a delay of more
than thirty hours.— Ed. Albion.
Still later.
Since the above was in type, we have received
the New York slips of the 31st ult. containing
still later dates, brought by the packet ship Vir
ginia. The following items arc from the Herald’s
slips.
The principal news relates to the cotton market.
The newspaper controversy on this subject still
continues in Liverpool. Mr. Biddle is the topic
of eulogy and defence there, as much ns he is
here. One writer asserts that at Christmas there
will not be “ten weeks” stock on hand to begin the
year with. The contest between the holders and
spinners is still severe. The “Liverpool” steamer
will probably bring us the issue.
Sir John Herschcl, declined the office of Presi
dent ot the Royal Society, recently made vacant
by the resignation of the Duke of Sussex.
The duty on foreign corn imported into Great
Britain had advanced to 10s. Bd. per quarter.
It was positively asserted that the celebrated
Buck’s Comet, had made its appearance, and was
visible from Kensington on the 26th ult. Sir.
itar ad cstra.
The steamer Liverpool was nearly ready for
sea when the Virginia left. She was to have taken
an experimental trip to Dublin about the 10th
inst.
Iron Steam Vessels. —The following is an ex
tract of a letter from a naval officer, who has made
passage, in the iron steam-ship Rainbow, to and
from Antwerp, and in whose opinion we place the
greatest confidence, from his having commanded
large steamers for ten or twelve years.
“Losnox, 20th Sept. 1838.
“We arrived alongside Brunswick Pier, Black
wall, at thirteen minutes past five, this morning,
making the passage, upwards of two hundred miles
(including stoppages,) in sixteen hours fifty min
utes. I don’t know a finer vessel: she is perfectly
easy, and has the least tremulous motion of any
steamer I ever was in ; and it is a curious fact,
that, both in going and returning, there was not
one case of sea-sickness on board, although there
was sufficient motion to have caused it in any
other vessel, but there is not the slightest smell
from bilge water or the engines.
“With respect to the local attraction of the iron
on the compass, I have no hesitation in saying,
that Professor Airoy, has perfectly mastered it,
and that I should have no objection to take a ship
of any dimensions, built in the same way, to any
part of the world.”
Burial of Black Hawk.
A few days ago, we announced the death of this
celebrated chief. The lowa Gazcttcc gives the
following account of his burial:
“His body, we understand, was not interred,
but was placed on the earth in a sitting posture,
with his cane clenched in his hands, enclosed with
slabs or rails. This is the manner in which the
chiefs of the Sac nation are usually buried, and
was done at his own special request. A conside
rable number of whites, we understand, were pre
sent at this disposition of his remains.”
Rail Road Bank — arrival ofSpkcie. —The
Osceola, which arrived on Thursday last from Lon
don, brings us nearly half a million of hollars
in gold AND silver, imported by the Directors of
the Louisville, Cincinnati and Charleston Rail
Road Company, for the use of the Soutii-Wes
tkr.v Rail Roar Bank. The subscription to
this Bank will be finally closed on Thursday next.
The Stockholders will meet in Charleston in per
son or by their proxies, on the 20th inst. to elect
Directors—their Hills arc already engraved, a tem
porary Banking House will he provided, and now
that an abundant supply of specie has been procu
red, the Bank will go immediately into operation
under the most favourable auspices. The wise
foresight and liberal policy displayed in this impor
tation of specie is highly creditable to the Compa
ny. They might have looked to the Charleston
Banks, or those ol New-Yorkand Philadelphia for
the supplies necessary for the new Bank ; but this
would have created a pressure in the money market,
and created an apprehension of the increase of the
Banking Capital of the Country, without a corres
ponding enlargement of the specie basis. The
course that has been pursued, will greatly strength
en the Rank, and gain for it public confidence at
home and abroad. To Charleston in particular,
this measure is calculated to do essential service,
1 he million loan so happily elfccted by Gen. Ham
ilton in Europe, being added at this lime to the
capital of Charleston, will give stability to all our
commercial and financial operations. One halfthe
amount being transferred by Bills of Exchange,
Hist Ip Now-\ oi'k and then to Charli’sion, will
. furnish u« the iucuiik of keeping down tlie Exchan
ges and thus prevent a drain upon our Hanks for
Specie. It willin' seen from the aliove statement,
how entirely unfounded are the reports prevalent
in certain quarters, of large drafts having been
made through the agency ofGcn. Hamilton, from
the Northern Banks, to supply our Rail Road
Bank with Specie. Not a dollar has been drawn
! f°r any such purpose. Wo have been at the ex
pense and trouble of providing ourselves with the
requisite amount of specie from Europe.—Charles
ton Courier.
From the I V. O. Jlcc, Oct. 29.
The Gunpowder Afliiir.
The Courier of yesterday imparts the unn. 'xed
additional information respecting this atrocious
hand. We cordially concur in the indignant lan
guage employed towards the individual who could
cooly jeopard the existence of every soul on hoard
the Superior, for the sordid motive of saving a
few hundred dollars.
The two.thousand one hundred pounds of guu
• powder, lately landed on our levee, were shipped
by Win. H. Thompson, of New York, and finally
destined for Messrs. Thompson & Breed, at Nat
chez. As the hogsheads containing the gunpowder
were marked ‘crockery ware,’ the freight thereon
was set down at $46 68 cts. Had the captain of
of the ship they came in been aware that the hogs
heads contained gunpowder, he would have taken
many precautions when stowing them away in the
hold of his vessel, and would have probably de
manded live times the above amount of freight.
Afier reaching this port, other expenses were una
, voidable, which would have swelled the cost of
transportation.
It appears that, to economize a sum of money,
I which may be set down at §4OO, William 11.
Thompson was willing, and did in fact, put in jeop
ardy titc lives of hundreds of his fellow creatures,
lie may, and no doubt will, find apologists in those
vile wretches, who are incapable of any other feel
ing than that of self-interest. Still we think it the
duty of a free press to hold up to universal execra
ting any one in the shape of man capable of contri
ving danger lor people wdio never injured him.
From the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette.
Governor.
The official returns for Governor, are as follows:
Porter, 131,521
Kitner, 121,(308
9,853
We have taken the totals of the tabular state
ment—but we remark, that the Harrisburg Intelli
gencer makes the total 10,853. Whether the er
ror is in adding up of the columns, or in deducting,
we did not find time to ascertain.
But we should add, that the Whig majority of
1200 in the Northern Liberties, ought to come out
ofthc above stated majority.
Raleigh and Columbia Rail Road.— We
learn from a paragraph in the Raleigh Register,
that sufficient stock has been taken to secure the
charter granted by the Legislature of North Caro- I
Una, for the construction of this road to the South '
Carolina lino. The Register in relation to it says:
We confidently rely upon the justice and liber
ality of the Legislature, at its approaching session,
lor aid in this undertaking—aid which has been
extended to other Roads, and aid which the State
cannot withhold, without an evidence of illihcrali
ty and partiality unworthy of its character. We
believe that the State would have interested itself
in the Gaston Road, two years ago, but for the
strange apathy or opposition of those members
whose constituents were most vitally interested in
its successful prosecution.
There can he no doubt that when completed to
Columbia, and connected, ns it then will he, with
Augusta, by the South-Western, and Charleston
and Hamburg roads, it will he the main travelling
route between the South-Western and Northern
States. The competition ofthc route by Wilming
ton, if it can he maintained at all, will only tend to
improve both routes, and to render the companies
more accommodating, as well as to keep the expen
ses within proper hounds. —Chcraw Gazelle.
Tn k Bound ah v Link.—We have already treat
ed of the correspondence which passed between Sir
John Harvey, Lieut. Governor of New Brunswick,
and the Governor of Maine, relative to tills ques
tion. We now learn that this survey has been
commenced under the direction of Mr. Dean.
The persons employed were accompanied by a
party of Indians and American citizens and were
seen at Madawaskain the beginning of the month
'Thence they proceeded up Grand River, crossed
the portage to the Ristigouche River, and descend
ing thence, they proceeded to the imaginary high
-1 lands, near the river St. Lawrence, where their op
-1 orations commenced.
The Frcdcrickton Gazette expresses satisfaction
at finding the object of this commission of survey
to he nothing more than to ascertain, by actual ex
amination, the practicability of running the Boun
< dary 1 /me according to the construction of the trea
-3 ty of Ghent; and adds, that it were to he wished
that such an exploration had long ago been made
a measure which might have divested the question
> of its present difficulties,—A r . Y. Herald,
3 A late Paris paper contains an account of the
I arrest and examination of four sailors, at Einhden
. in Hanover, on a charge of being eoncerncd in the
. reecnt mutiny and murder on board the brig Bra
ganza, of Philadelphia, the particulars of which
was published at length a short time since. It ap
pears that the seamen arrested at Etnhdcn have all
. confessed their guilt; one of them, a Belgian, named
. Verbrugge, persisted for some time in denying all
i participation in it, hut ultimately confessed the
f whole. They arc all confined in irons, and will lie
1 sent to this country by the first opportunity offering.

• The Ascension Herald of the 27th inst. says:
■ “The planters unite generally in saying that the
t prospect of the present crop (of sugar) is flatter
ing.
' The Baton Rouge Gazette of the same day,
• states that the editor has been informed by aplant
i er that the recent heavy rains have been very in
’ jurious to the cotton. In a short time, the sugar
plantations generally will commence operations,
- j and from the appearance of the cane about Baton
i j Rouge, the editor judges that an abundant crop of
r I excellent sugar will he made.
