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. . —A r . Y. Courier <V Enquirer. > • 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. . | SALE.—The tract of land 2,200 acres, and I jp Saw Mills, known as the Boggy (tut Mills, 20 j miles from Augusta, and 4 j miles South of Berzelia, 3 situated in Richmond county.
