THE ADYQjCATE.
ii 11 UNS VyiCK, (GA.I6, I m.
gentleman who has had the Editori
al charge of this paper, fprthe last nine months,
left us a few days aince on a visit to the North.
He will be absent some six or eight weeks,
during which tiipe he will correspond for the
paper. Meanwhile we must ask the indul
gence oTour feeders for any lack of the usual
quantity of original matter.
OUR STATE ELECTIONS.
We are enabled to give this week, returns
from 85 Counties for particulars of which we
refer our readers to the table. No doubt what
ever exists, of the election of the entire State
Rights Congressional Ticket a9 seven Counties
only remain to be heard from, which, if they
vote no better than in 1837, will give our candi
dates an average majority of 1000 votes. The
Union papers give us also a majority in both
branches of the Legislature. So, all is well.
We congratulate our friends, on the result,
and hope they will ever bear in mind, that vig
ilance is our watch-word.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
The Elections in this State for members to
Congress and the State Legislature took
place on Monday and Tuesday the Bth and
9th inst.
In Charleston District, I. E. Holmes, Esq. is
elected over the present incumbent, H. S. Le
gare, Esq., by £Bl votes.
In Edgefield District, F. W. Pickens is re
elected without opposition.
MARYLAND. I
In this State, the Van Buren Governor is
said to be elected by a small majority. In the
Legislarure, the Whigs have a majority.
SEA ISLAND COTTON.
From the statements of the Cotton Crop in
general of the two last seasons, published in
the Charleston Courier, we have extracted
that part which relates to the Ska Island i
Crop, which will be especially interesting to!
our friends in this neighborhood.
From this statement, it appears probable that 1
with the remainder of last'years crop, and
the whole of the short crop of the present I
year, the stock of the long staple for this sea
son will fall short of 20,000 bales; a fact which
must serve very much to enhance prices.

Darien Telegraph complains that
certain tickets, which had a remarkable good ;
run in Mclntosh, were printed at the Advocate
Office. To be sure they were! The people of
Mclntosh, who wish to have printing execut
ed more neatly than it can be done in their
own county, frequently send to ns. And we
are happy to say, that in a few weeks, the ar-'
rival of several new fonts of job type, will en
able us to execute their orders in a style even
much superior to those we have already done.
The Board of Health of Charleston report
the deaths of fifty-one persons in that city for
the week ending 7th inst., thirty-eight of
which were by Stranger’s fever. By the
Steamer Camden, which arrived at this port
on Monday from Charleston via Savannah, we
learn there had been frost in that city, and
that, the sickness was on the decline.
The city sexton of Savannah reports the
deaths of twenty-six persons in that city dur
ing the week ending on the 9th instant—l 9
whites and 7 blacks, twelve of the whites by
bilious fever.
American Common School Almanac.
We make the following valuable extracts fro si
the above excellent little annual, which are
well worthy the attention of all parents:
Cheap Teachers. Many fathers there
are who so love their money, and hate their
children, that they have teachers for their chil
dren of no worth, thereby beating down the
market, that they may purchase a cheap ignor
ance.
It was, therefore, a witty and handsome jeer
which Aristippus bestowed on a sottish father,
who had asked the philosopher “what he would
ask to teach his child?”
Aristippus answered, “.4 thousand drnchmes"
—w hereupon the father cried out, “O Hercules!
how much out of the way you ask! for 1 can
buy a slave at that rate.”
“Do it, then," said Aristippus, and thou slutlt,
instead of one, purchase two slaves: him that
thou buyest for one, and thy son for another.
[Plutarch’s Morals.
From the best sources of information we j
can obtain, we have collected the following
interesting facts:
No. of children in the U. States, be
tween 4 and 16, and who should
be in school, 3,500,000
No. not in school, and who do not
use the means of a common school
education, t 600,000
No. of common schools in the U.
States, 80,000
No. of teachers in these schools, 95,000
Annual sum expended on these
schools, * $15,000,000
The Rice Crop in the East Indies, is said to
be certaiidy deficient; and in consequence
Croat Britain will be obliged to become a large
importer of American rice.

Mr. Editor:— lf “A merry cuss” (Qu.
Americas?) asserts that the article which ap
peared in the Advocate of the 4th October,
signed “Glynn,” is a plagiarism from the En
cyclopedia Americana, he is a silly fellow.
That the facts in relation to the Liberty
Tree and Liberty Cap, are taken from the his
tory of ihe times, I stated distinctly in the ar
ticle alluded to; that “in these dull times, Mr.
Editor, the casual reader may find a moment’s
; entertainment in a "lance at the times that hair
passed; the time when we were a united Peo
' pie,” See., evidently referring the reader to the
History of tltose times, from which I was
about to make an extract. But that the whole
article is a plagiarism from any work extant, is
1 utterly false, and the author of such an asser
tion must be fretted with a peevish, little mind,
and you may hand him the real name of
GLYNN.

BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
compilation from ancient writers, yet Authors
attach their names to their remarks, and it will
puzzle the tittering Americas to find Glynn’s 1
remarks on the Liberty Pole, yet it is from
the history of the times the fact is derived.
[For the Advocate.]
To the Senate and House of Representatives
of the State of Georgia, to convene at Mil
ledgeville on the Ist Monday in next month:
We, the subscribers, (citizens and planters
of Decatur County,) respectfully petition your
honorable body to take into serious considera
tion the uncertain, partial, and generally de
fective system previously adopted by our Leg
islative bodies in granting Bank Charters, and
earnestly request you to makathe subject of
Banking of paramount importance to all .oth
ers that may come before you; and consequent
ly, give it that attention which it claims. We
regard our State as being in infancy in those
i improvements that have Adorned and enriched
| others of lesg intrinsic value than ourotvn, and
believe that watchfulness and enterprize are
i necessary to dcvelope the numberless advan
i tages this State possesses over most others of
j the Union, and to give it that ascendancy and
j importance it may, by such means, soon be
! made to obtain.
! We, therefore, recommend, that you grant
extensive banking privileges upon sound prin
ciples; and, we believe. this can only be done
j bv having real estate the principal basis upon
I which such institutions be founded. We re
commend, that you allow free banking, with
such conditions as your wisdom will direct, so
i that each county have the privilege to estab
i lish a bank, to be located at its county site, on
j condition that such institutions satisfactorily
| secure by mortgage their entire circulation; 1
i requiring a sufficient amount of specie to be
, kept by them, to prevent any inconvenience to
those who may receive their issues. We be-'
lieve the amount of gold and silver necessary*
to effect this object, will not be large, since,
experience proves that the necessity of banks
holding a large amount of specie, compared
with their circulation, grows out of a wnnt of
confidence in their solvency. The precaution
mentioned will obviate that distrust. We do
not recommend any hostility to the hanks now
chartered, but that every thing may be done
that will tend to secure the confidence thev
■ merit and promote the general good; yet we
'earnestly hope it will not be necessary to
| grunt any new charter upon the same priuci
; pies, since it will be opening a door for fraud,
,by which every portion of the State may be
i made to sillier, and cause many to be directly
and largely injured. Besides, these results
may produce prejudices against a proper svs-'
tem of banking: a system that would, doubt-1
lessly of itself, by its very influence, in a
short time double the present value of the!
lands of our State, and bring large portions,
into cultivation that arc now lying dormant,,
producing a very sir, II revenue to the State,!
and income to the owner. It would virtually j
enable each planter to become his own banker, I
and by doing so increase the productions of
his plantation, the value of his property, to- 1
gether with the commerce of the State, a ;d
all by his own resources. Our object is to;
call a prbper attention to the subject, without
entering into details; and we especially re-!
commend to the Senators and Representatives j
from those fertile and long neglected counties, I
situated on llio south-western part of the State, |
(among which we number Decatur,) to use ev- j
erv means in their power to have the privileg-!
os before mentioned extended to every portion
of the State. Should this not be practicable, I
that they be untiring in obtaining these priv- j
ileges for such portions of the State as n;c |
suffering daily loss, and the greatest inconve- j

one calculated for this State, should differ

I The Great Western loft her mooring to the
dock at the foot of Pike street, precisely' at
half past three o’clock yesterday afternoon,
and proceeded to sea. She has on hoard one
hundred and twenty-live passengers, being all :
she could with any convenience accommodate.
For some days past her agents have been com
pelled to refuse to receive any more passen
gers, though numerous'applications wore made !
to them, and a premium offered on the estab- j
lished price of the pa.sage. She has also all ,
the merchandise on freight she can carry, and j
we are informed a larger number of letters,
than she ever carried before. Besides the i
freight and passengers, she takes out 50,000
sovereigns, remitted, no doubt, on- account of;
the advanced rate of exchange.
We may certainly expect the Royal Wil-1
liam steam ship from Liverpool hero soon. j
Foreign exchanges. There'was a great
er amount of business done yesterday, in ex
change for the Great Western than has been j
transacted for the past three or four years. You
remember in my letter of September 20, you
were informed that an undue exportation of,
specie would not be permitted, and that ar
rangements were made for drawing bills on
credit, when exchanges became so high as to
warm:.; forwarding the precious metals. Yes
ford., y a large amount was drawn by the Plan- j
nix Bank at 110 1-4 and 110 1-2, and by the
banking house of Holford, Bancker &. Cos. at
110 1-4, which put it complete stop to the ex
portation of specie, only about 47 to 48,000
| sovereigns having been previously taken,
which went out in the Great Western.
Many of the bills taken yesterday were for
; the purpose of paying for goods already arriv
■ed, and for which stocks which were unmar
ketable had been remitted as securities, with
the understanding that they should be subso
! qnently redeemed.
' Hail Storm in September. Gentlemen:
' Perhaps it may subserve some good purpose
| for the public to hear through your columns,
; an account of the most destructive ITail Storm
ever heard of by the writer, or perhaps, any
other man of modern date.
! It rose in the South-East and fell on the
jevening of the 18th September, in Macon
County. Alabama, in Township eighteen,
Range twenty-six, and more particularly on
| the farm of Judge Harper, (formerly of Geo.)
i Ilis Cotton crop of two hundred acres, which
i would have averaged from eight to ten hundred
j pounds, was in ton minutes destroyed, the
1 field having the appearance of Cotton fields in
: January, after being picked out and run over
by r (tie, (now the crops h ive had time to die.)
His Corn was at least two-thirds prostrated
! and peas entirely destroyed. Add to this
' scene from one to two hundred trees prostrated
i in the farm of five hundred acres, and you see
I something of the case. However, out of the
scores who have heard of, and come to visit
the scer.e of devastation, all agree that this is
one of the rare cases that outstrips exaggera
tion.
j Tiie facts of a Hail Storm in the month of
September, and that of its coming from- the
j southeast,are anomalies not heretofore known to
i our oldest men. In a word the whole scene ia
j explicable only by Ilim who does ‘‘wonders o:i
our earth.” Yours respectfully,
OBADIAIf ECIIOLS.

LORD DURHAM’S RESIGNATIONS.
-We have heretofore announced the resigna
tion of his office of Goveror General of the
British Provinces. We now give the conclu- i
j sion of Ills speech to the delegates of liowcr
■ Canada informing them of his resignation.
1 Lord Durham alluded to the Canadas—
said they were very imperfectly known by
'those at home. lie knew very little about
while in England. He came out,
he said, not to gratify liis own personal
feelings, but obey the command of bis
sovereign. His view of this country had |
greatly changed since he had become ac-i
quainted with her resources, and with aj
portion of her inhabitants; and Wherever j
be might be called, and however employ- j
ed, be should always cherish an ardent j
wish lor the prosperity of this vast conn-'
lr v : ...
It had been his aim and the dearest ob
ject ol bis wishes, to be able to inform her
Majesty that her fine possessions in Brit
ish America might be considered one of
the richest gems of her dominions—that
the entire population were in a perfect
state of harmony and friendship, and that,
each party was striving which could mo t !
promote the good of the whole. He had ,
not yet brought into action those measures
which lie intended for the good of the j
country, but several of them were nearly I
completed and would almost immediately:
have been made public.
At a moment when he was about to
complete those plans which had been ma
turing, party spirit interposed her wither
ing hand, and blasted nil his hopes for the
welfare of the Cauadns. He could not,
lie did not wish to conceal from the gen
tlemen present, that the recent intelligence
from England, altho’ not official to him,
had made a very deep impression on his
mind.
Opposition from Lord Brougham, and
others acting with him, was no more than
ho might expect, hut he was compelled to ;
say that he had been put down—sacrificed i
by his friends!—those whose duty it was
to stand forth in his defence, at a period
when his political enemies were using
their utmost energies to destroy him. lie
continued:—lt was, he said the duty of
her Majesty’s ministers to support him in
the hour of persecution, and not to join
with his bitter foes in striking at his head.
[H ere his Lordship was ro overcome that
lu: had to retire to a distant part of the
room.] Returning, he offered an apolo
gy, but none was needed, for every one
present had partaken of the same feeling
that had come over his lordship.
A Suit Treasurer Caught. The Do
troit Daily Advertiser gives the following
! story of a loco fuco Sub Treasurer, who
undertook to improve upon the vault and
safe system, by appropriating the depos
ites to his own use, and giving his note as
security. The scheme would be wonder
; fully economical, and a great expense for
vaults and safes rendered unnecessary if
this Michigan Sub Treasurer's ideas were
1 adopted.
We learn that S. Foster, Postmaster at
i Otsego, on the Kalamazoo River, and his
i son, S. I). Foster, assistant sub, have
quite recently been somewhat troubled
on account of the amount of the public de
posites. It appears that a letter contain
ing one hundred dollars, had to pass
through tliis inland sub treasury to its
place of destination. On (lit, that fearful
it might not lie altogether safe in the mail*
the “paltry sum” as certain functionaries
would sav, was transfrrrd from its abiding
place within the letter, to the vaults and
safes of one of those light fingered snb
treasnrers. But some doubts existing as
to the constitutionality of so summary a
removal of the deposites, an agent was des
patched from bead quarters with instruc
tions to put things right. This agent, af
ter arguing the question with the youngs
ter, superndded to a threatened castiga
tion, induced him to confess liis error of
judgment, and promise to restore the de
posites. But,
Convince a sub against bis will,
lie’s of the same opinion still.
This we fear will be the case with the pre
cocious receiver of the Otsego Office.—
And it is to be presumed that be will have
abundant opportunity as vve are advised
that, in consideration of the fact that his
was an error of judgment, and simply a
misconstruction of the law as he under
stood it, lie is suffered to go at large with
out prosecution.
We understand that the Otsego sub
treasurer, gave bis note for the repayment
of the transferred deposite.
The above transaction was probably in an
ticipation and illustration of the system recorn
. mended by Amos for transmitting small re
; mittanccs safely by means of the machinery
of liis department.
Munrof. Rail Road. The Macon Mes
-1 senger of the J Ith instant says: “The first bar
of Iron was laid on this road on Tuesday last.
' The laying of the wood work is nearly com-!
j pleted, and that of the iron will go on with ra- :
, pidity. It is contemplated that »t will be laid j
the entire length of the road in three weeks,
|or at all events, it will very little exceed that
! time. A locomotive and cars are near at hand,
land will be ready to place on the road when
i ever it is ready to receive them.”
