TIIE ADVOCATE. BRUNSWICK,. (Ga.) MARCH 1, 183a VVe commend to the particular attention of our readers, an extract from the New York Courier and Enquirer, which will be found on our second page. Many people are very cau tious and sceptical in these days of speculation, when they are told in advance, of the growth of Cities, and of the consequent rise and increas ed value of property. Caution and deliberation in all subjects is commendable,and particularly so in this. As any renihrks we may make upon such a subject will be considered as having a direct bearing upon the projected improvement and expected growth of our own City, we deem it proper to state once for all, that we are pre pared to take it up frankly ind fairly. VVe in vite examination and correction, whether of fact or argument If Brunswick cannot stand upon her own true and simple merits, she must fall, for it i3 not possible that any deception of the public, or any self-deception of the pro prietors, can maintain her. As is well known, the whole West is stud ded with projected Cities. Doubtless many of them will rise to the degree of importance anticipated. But it is hardly extrai agant to say that were the projected Cities of America completed as designed in number and popula tion, those of the old world would form but a small proportion to those of the new. The National Road, which in deed is fast becoming a National Street, is actually lined with them. So too are the banks of the Ohio and Missis sippi, and the shores of Lakes Michigan and Erie. 5 These facts, not being done in a corner, are well known to all the.world. That there has been connected with them much shameful speculation, is as well known. But it is yet possible to distinguish the wheat from the j chaff, and to decide between a laudable spirit of enterprise and the gross knavery of impo sition. This discrimination the public will make. Let iLg|e most rigorously applied to Brunswick. VVe have no fears of the result. : But to return to our subject, ‘The growth of New York. What an admirable picture it is! ‘Truth is stranger than fiction.’ Indeed it is. On the very spot where but fifteen years since, we stepped on shore in the heart of a city we now find ourselves upon its outskirts. Rip Van Winkle’s sleep of fifty years, admir able as it is, awakens images faint and cold, when compared to the emotions of one now returning to New York, after a fifteen years absence. What lie left the country is now the City. Up-town has become downtown. ‘Whc-re once hts careless childhood strayed’ in green pastures, he now finds almost end less miles of brick-built streets. The hand ful of importers, brokers and auctioneers, that were so easily catalogued—their name is now legion. Wall and Pearl, and a host of other business streets, are full of them. Their Counting Houses alone would make a city. And where were they thirty years since !! What a spectacle of wealth, enterprise and prosperity, do we sec here. Who shall say that the same causes and the same means shall not produce the same results. A mag nificent and capacious harbor, superior to all others on the northern coast,—a convenient and extended communication with a fertile and growing back country, —and a liberal pat ronage of Ixtf.rx.vl Improvements, lnve made New York City what she is. VVe too enjoy the same pre-eminent advantages as to our harbor. VVe too will soon be connected with a back country second to none other. The Alatamaha, the Oconee and Ocinulgee, and the tortillas, all come to our doors. The truly Georgian policy of Internal improve mexts will soon open the West and the .South west to qs. Extravagant, then, as such pre diction may seem, we will not in our well grounded anticipations of success, stop short of the wealth and prosperity of New York. FROM WASHINGTON. Our latest dates are to the 10th February. The news from there is uncommonly interest ing, and we much regret that the size of our ■ paper does not permit us to abstract more fully, j The Sub-Treasury Bill is still before the Sen- j ate, and the prospect of its being strangled in its cradle in spite of its dry nurse, Mr. Wright, is much improved. Tiie Tennessee Legislature have instructed Mr. Grundy to vote against the Bill. He has not been to Washington for forty years to be forced to re sign in his old age, by any amount of instruc tions. He has no idea of being dropped from political life at this late day, and of course obeys. Mr. Buchanan, too, knows as well the proverb, ‘Out of sight out of mind,’ and has announced his intention to obey similar instruc tions from the Pennsylvania Legislature. In the House, nothing very material has oc curred. Bills relating to the punishment of the malcontents on the Canada frontier—to ex tend the session of the Choctaw Commission ers at Tuscaloosa, and a large number of inter esting private bills, have been before the House. Its time has also been occupied with an undig nified altercation with Matthew L. Davis, a correspondent of the N. York Courier and En quirer, who writes over the signature of “The Spy in Washington.” In the Senate again, Mr. Calhoun has given his views-jn favor of the Sub-Treasury Bill, Mr. Webster lias delivered a most powerful and argumentative speech against it. At the latest date, Mr. Clay had just closed upon the •ante side of \ji° question. a most brilliant speech—good natured and cheerful, yet sarcas tic, as full as himself of power, wit and good humor. ABOLITION. The following is a record of one of those deplorable,yet amusing scenes, which are from time to time, enacted on the floor of Congress. VVe cannot pretend—though it is our editorial privilege to be presumptuous—to enough knowledge of statesmanship and Congressional policy, to speak on this subject dictatorially. It does occur to 113, however, that the course adopted by the majority of Congress, in refus ing a hearing to the petitions of the Abolition ists, was unwise. It has had certainly a most unfortunate influence at the North. However ready we may be, as a supporters of State Rights, to‘calculate the value of the Union,” Heaven forbid that we should under-estimate it ! nor do we think that it can be charged up on our party, that they do set any light or tri fling value upon it. We say this policy has had a most unhappy influence at the North. It has given to the miserable fanatics of the Abolition party a plausible appeal to their neighbors on the ground that the right of petition is endanger ed, a suggestion which at once excites the most sensitive jealousy. The men, and the women too, who sacrificed their habit of drink ing tea rather than submit to the necessity of a paltry tax, are not of a temper to calculate whether their political interests at stake are material or not. They resist the least shadow of what they even imagine an invasion of lib erty. Disconnect the right of petition from £ he question of Abolition, and the monstrous spectacle of 20,000 petitioners for this right, as regards the Abolitionists, appearing on the floor of Congress in a single morning, would never more be seen. Can true lovers of their country hesitate upon such a question? As to the course of Mr. Adams, who in pub lic life does not know him? And yet, with the inass of the people, he passes for an abolition ist. Independent, wayward and obstinate,-*- persevering in acting upon first and ill-consid ered impressions,—eager and zealous in what ever he undertakes, —harsh and capricious in feeling, he acts steadily with no party and is a dangerous ally to any. The public well remember the story of the pompous ceremony of breaking ground for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. Drawn in splendid equipage, with u long suite of public officers, following in stately procession, Mr. Adams, then the President of these United States, led the way to the designated spot, then and there with his own 'august hands to make the first excavation upon this celebrated work. The ground, as it happened, had not been prop erly sounded and examined, and upon the first trial, tiie President struck a tough root or other similar obstacle. Undismayed by this most ‘untoward event,’ the Chief Magistrate of the Union stripped himself to his shirt sleeves, and amid the cheers of surrounding thousands, addressed himself to the task of forcing his spade into the refractory soil. With what success, no history, to which we have access, relates. Now, this is an apt illustration of Mr. Ad ams’s course upon the Abolition question. The ground when that question first arose, was not well sounded, examined and laid out. Hav ing met with serious obstacles, he is now forcing his spade into it by main strength, and in doing it, he somewhat indecorously exposes himself to the public. But he is no more an Abolitionist than the members from Georgia; and were he to-morrow to report, from a Com mittee to consider the prayer of the petitions pre sented by himself,he would condemn it most se verely. Mr. Adams and the seventy members, that lie sometimes induces to act with him, are influenced by what they consider to be the i duty of jealously guarding theright of petition. VVe long to see this question of Abolition put upon its true and simple ground in Con gress, —to see it acted upon w ithout reference to the right of petitioner any foreign question, —that th# North may show the South the true hearted and brotherly feeling that exists to j wards it. Brotherly! did we say? They are ! not brothers, —but one flesh. Here follows the correspondence alluded to above of the Baltimore Transcript: | His desk this mprning was more than usual- I ]y piled up with these literary productions of j his female constituents, and on the approach of his turn to present, he rose and was about |to state his reasons why he intended to offer i them en masse, and not as formerly in detail j when the speaker, who had evidently made up j his mind for a trial of patience, told him that | it was out of order to debate while presenting i petitions, but lie was simply to accompany them with a brief notice of their contents, i i “Then,” said Mr. Adams, “1 will be under the 1 necessity of reading separately;” and here he | :?ave a glance at the ominous piles before him i as if suralhut the alternative would make the ! chair yield to him. The speaker merely said | that he was not to direct the course of any member, that he might read them or riot. “Well, sir,” said Mr. Adams, “the chair puts me in this predicament, and so I must pro ceed to read them;” and so he did, amid the deep groans of all around, at the tedious pros pect before them—and with a cordon of frown ing "Southern members, narrowly watching ev ery movement of his palsied hand%as if sus picious that some of the abolition papers ( might escape their motion to lie on the table i with which they were ready to pounce down j upon them. The first petition was from a town in Mass, praying that the aborigines might be consider ed as descended from the ten tribes of Israel! As soon as the laughter at this prayer had sub sided, Mr. Adams gravely asked if the peti tion came under the resolution of the 31st Deceiul*“rV>at 1 BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE. &.C., on the table. Mr. Polk could scarcely j refrain from joining in with the renewed j laughter, annoyed as he looked a moment be j fore. He replied it did not Mr. Adams mov -led to refer it to the committee on Indian af fairs. Next came a memorial begging Con gress to consider the danger threatening the American armies from their proximity to the ludians. (Another roar.) Mr. Adams moved to refer this to the committee on military af fairs. (More laughter.) After two more, pray ing for liberty of speech, and for the relief of Mrs. Lovejoy, were laid on the table, came a t petition begging that Congress might: build a will! Here every one looked at his'ncighborjis if to be enlightened as to what the last petition meant. Mr. Adams looked grave and myste rious, the Speaker appeared mystified, till a member asked the Chair what the petition pray ed Congress for. ‘‘To build a wall,” said Mr. Polk with solemnity, whereupon the House went off into another cacchinatory fit, in spite of the sharp rays from the nettled Speaker, i Mr. Adams having been told this petition did f not come under the December resolution, mov- j ed to refer it to a select Committeee. Then j followed in succession some of the following j description, which I give merely to show how j this good man’s conscientiousness is imposed upon; to make colored persons competent wit nesses in cases where kidnapping is charged against whites; to cede the District of Colum bia, and buy another. These were laid on the table, though they only had a squinting towards abolition. Mr. j Adams then presented 150 petitions from 20,- 000 persons praying for the resolution of De- j cemer to be rescinded. He said he had no | i doubt the House would not grant the prayer of j these petitions, but he would say in relerence * to their refusal, as some office-seeker replied I once to Cardinal Fleury when the latter said, i “you will have nothing as long as I live!” I “Monseigneur!” answered the applicant, “moi j’attendrai!” “and,” added Mr. Adams, “so do I say, / will wait .” Here ended the only entertaining part of j ; the day’s work. It must be confessed, howev : er, that Mr. Adams, through his obstinacy, of ten places himself in an attitude unworthy of, ! himself, and troublesome to the House. Tiie j rest of the sitting, to the close, was umntcr- i ! esting. j [Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.] VVashixgtox, Feb. 14, 1808. Mr. Benton, this'morning, brought before j I the Senate a resolution calling for a copy of j ; Col. J, Taylor’s official report of his battle , with the Sciniuoles. M-. B.’s object was as ; he stated, to vindicate the Missouri volunteers ; from the charge of misconduct made against < them by Col. Taylor—a charge that the brave j troops of that state never deserved. He went | into a detail of the circumstances of the ac- ■ tion, and insisted that Col. Taylor bad placed j the volunteers in his van, to cover the regulars ; and that one sixth of the volunteers including | their commander, were killed by the first fire j lof the enemy, while only one regular soldier was killed in the whole action. Mr. Critten- ■ ! den warmly eulogized the character of Col ' Taylor, as an officer and a great man, and ex- | ! pressed his conviction that Col. Taylor had i ! stated nothing that was unfair or incorrect.! | The resolution was agreed to. i The resolutions against tiie sub-treasury! bill, have finally passed the lower House of the Pennsylvania Legislature, in the form of j instructions. The Senate being whig, w ill, it is said, resign in preference to yielding oDedi-; once to the instructions. | The nominal secretary of the navy is about | to go to the south for his health. Mr. Poin-! ! sett, in the meantime, is to discharge all the j duties of the office. I have, to-day, heard Mr. j | Cambreleng mentioned as Mr. Dickerson’s j : successor; but I presume that he will be re- j ! tained in his present situation until the fate of: j the sub-treasury bill is decided. | j THE BOWERY THEATRE BURNT. The third theatre erected upon the same i site in the Bowery, New York City, has been ! I destroyed- It seems as if there was a fiery j i fate connected with it. All of them have been ! large and splendid theatres, though rather a- j 1 dapted to the exhibition of spectacles than of; 1 the legitimate drama. The first theatre was burnt about seven years since. The second was erected, com- j I pleted and opened to the public in the aston- : ishly short space of seventy days from the i i conflagration of the first. It was destroyed by fire about two years since. The rapidity ; ! and energy with which that just destroyed was built, was hardly lessVemarkablc—being open-, ‘ed to the public in somewhat less than one 1 ! hundred days from the second fire. Whether the state of the times will encourage corres ponding enterprise on the present occasion, remains to be seen. On would think that even should not the Bowery be restored, with the twelve theatres, great and small, which rc i main, New York would be amply supplied. Destructive Fire—Bowery Tiiea-| tre Burned. Or Sunday morning, a-j bout 2 o’clock, a fire broke out in tho! Bowery Theatre, which entirely consum ed the whole interior of the builtlinu, to gether with the machinery, dresses, &,e. j ] leaving nothing but part of the walls standing. The building adjoining, known as the old Bull’s Head Tavern, was also 1 burned. We understand the Theatre ! was insured for 80,000 dollars. The loss is said to be about 70,000 dollars. 'The fire broke out in the paint rootwover the ! gallery, in front. A stable belonging to Mr. Hamblin, was Burned at the same time, corner of Christie and Walker rts., and a colored man was burned to death. [N. Y. Mer. Adv. Feb. IS. COTTON MARKET. Savannah, Feb. 23.

Near ly one hundred of our neighbors assembled at the Oglethorpe House, presenting a galaxy of brilliancy and beauty, the like of which is seldom witnessed. Did the customs of our country permit us to emulate the Ixmdon Court Journal, or the more fashionable .Morn ing Chronicle, in individual description— what glowing scenes and characters could we not paint. But were such license permitted, ah! who could tell what hearts were won or lost! what bosoms fired! Mirth and gayety, good will and good wine, all conspired to enhance the enjoyment of the glorious anniversary. To ocr Correspondent. We have re ceived a communication from a most respect ed correspondent, full of good and original thought. We much regret to decline insert ing it, but it contains too strong personal al lusions to be admitted without alteration—-i liberty which in consideration of its source, wo could not think of taking. Our acknowledgments are due to Gen. Glascock for his kind attentions in forward ing to us Congressional Documents. We cut the below from the Constitutionalist. It is rather oracular, but as the soil of New Or leans is to an unknown depth alluvial, we pre sume it must be the form, adopted by the Pic ayune, to announce the attack of the police upon a Hell or gambling house: Vai.cable Discovery. The New Or leans Picayune of the 13th instant says— “A silver mine of the richest description was yesterday discovered on the ground formerly covered bv Diamond’s Hotel, op posite St. Mary’s market. The men em ployed in working this mine succeeded in digging up something like $*20,000, all of the best .Mexican silver.’’ ‘ Very like a Whale,’ or at least like an essential part of one. The Baltimore Trans- ■ cript has the following notice of the “ celebrat ed Finn.” His comedietta, “Removing the De posits,” went off with great spirit. There was one imitation of the “immortal Shaks peare” ju it, which was worthy of the genius of the “illustrious Finn.” Asa parallel to the passage in Othello, “I’d rather be a toad, And feed upon the vapours of a dungeon, Than keep a corm r in the thing 1 love For other s uses." lie gave the following : “I’d ra.thcr.be a frog, And feed upon the vapours of a demi-Joiin, I Than keep a corner shop for such a use." As Billy Black in the “Hundred pound j note,” lie out-finned Finn. Out of the! great number of “good mis” which he! brought forward, we can give only the | following. 1. “Why is the Holliday st. Theatre 1 like a barrel ol good potatoes? Because there are not many speck’d ’la- j tors (spectors) in it. 2. Why is ’s head like the Ken-I tncky giant’s knee ? Because there is a gnat calf under it. j 3. Why has the visit of the Kentucky j giant raised the price of ah? Because Porter is higher than it ever. was before. 4. Why is the manager of the Holli-! day st. Theatre like a good hotel keeper ? j Because he is ready liberally to reward ] I the Cook. 5. Why is your foot going into a boot, : like a canal boat ? Because it follows the tom (tor.) path! ! 0. Why is the President of the United I States like the hind foot of a horse? Because lie follows in the footsteps of his predecessor !’ ” There was a multitude of others equally good and some much better than those we have given, but we have no room for then:. His “Maw-worm” in the Hypocrite was a most striking delineation of an ignorant fanatic. After the performances, there; was a loud call (or “Finn,” which he an swered “in character,” with the following j address. Ladies and Gentlemen—l feel persuad ed more than ever that I hare had “o calf ,” and as you have done me the hon or to call me out, it must be considered, I suppose, an of air of honor. According to the modern laws of honor, a man is railed (rut for the purpose of giving satis faction; but why should you call me out, j when I trust I have already given you sal j isfaction ? Ladies and gentlemen : accept my siucere thanks for your attention and the compliment which your calling pays to my calling; and allow me to say that although circumstances have compelled me to-night to bawl to few, I hope it may 1 not be long before I shall return to bawl m .R Ji Tmsf-riut, AMUSING. Rarely if ever baa democracy had a greater triumph than in Mr. Webster’s speech against the independent treasury—-not in the weak ness of his arguments alone, or in bis almost confessed inability to contend with Mr. Wright’s advocacy of that measure—but in his democratic eulogiums. Madison,liowndes, Crawford, praised by Webster!—Mr. Webster, who, while they lived, opposed and abused all they said or did, which he now extols!—Mr. Webster, who denounced them then, just as he now does Mr. Van Buren, and for the same rea son. This adds another to the long list of instan ces in which tardy justice has been done by the opponents of democracy to democratic men and democratic measures, and in future time the same acknowledgments will be paid m reference to Jackson and Van Buren by those who are now loudest ill denouncing them. [Pennsylvanian. Extract of a letter from an officer of the United States Army, at Fort Brooke, Florida, under date of Jan. 13, IS3S : “I have just returned from a tour of duty oil the Suwanee and Withlacoochee, and have just heard of the fatal affair on the 25th of Dec. at Okecchubbee Lake. “Col. Thompson was wounded in three places before he fell, either of which would have proved fatal. The first ball passed through the abdomen to the left; the second, in the right breast; and the last, through the chin and neck; evident ly shot from a tree. He fell in a sitting posture, and died instantly. “Van Swearingen was shot in advance of his company, in the lower part of his neck, retired to the rear, raised both hands above his head, and fell flat on his face, gave one groan, and was in more. “Brooke was shot through the heart, and died with a smile on his face. “Center was shot through the head, from a tree, and died instantly. “Col. Gentry, of Missouri, was shot through the body; the same ball passed through him and through his son's arm, and then'into a tree. It was a musket ball. “All these officers showed the greatest gallantry in the fight. Andrews was se verely wounded, and Walker, of the (ith, was literally shot to pieces ; four halls passed through him, and several others grazed him. He is fast recovering, how ever, and is as manly under his severe wounds as he was brave in receiving them. He is a promising officer. “I have thus been particular in naming all these facts, as I know they will be in teresting to you. It seems hard that so many brave spirits should fall in such an inglorious warfare. “The lives of all the Indians would not he sufficient to revenge one of these offi cers.”’ WASHINGTON RACE COURSE.
