THE ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK, (Ga.V.7 „...NOV. 8, 1838.
Brunswick and Florida R. Road.— \V T e
noticed a few weeks since the arrival of Mr.
Perham, and we now have the pleasure to an
nounce the arrival of Mr. H. K. Curtis, ano
ther of the principal engineers on the Bruns
wick and Florida Rail Road. Mr. C. was
formerly an assistant of the late Col. Baldwin,
and is an engineer of some eminence. Mr.
Perham left a few weeks since for the Chatta
hooche, to mark the final termination of the
road, and Mr. Curtis has already commenced
running the line preparatory to laying out the
work at this end of the route.
We understand an election for Lieut. Col
onel and Major, was held on the Ist inst., at
the rendezvous near Trader’s Hill, in Camden
County, by the regiment under command of
General Charles Floyd, but our infonnant did
not recollect the names of the persons elected.
On the day of the election, an express arrived, i
stating that a house in Hamilton County, Fa.
adjoining the Okefinoke, was attacked by a!
party of about forty Indians, who demolished j
every thing' in the house; the inmates con-'
sisting of a man, his wife and child, seeing
the approach of the Indians, made their escape
by jumping out of a window, and were after
wards fired upon by the Indians, but we are
Imppy to learn received no injury. The ex
press further stated that a small party of the
neighboring citizens followed the Indians to
the Okefinoke, and after night came on dis
tinctly saw their fires. General Floyd imme
diately sent two companies in pursuit of them.
Our informant further stated that General
Floyd was to enter the Okefinoke with his re
giment on Monday last.
The U. S. Revenue Cutter Dexter, Captain
Day, arrived at this port last week, and is now
engaged in placing buoys on the bar and at
the of this harbor, an appropriation
for which was made at the last session of Con
gress.
The hurricane which swept along the Flor
ida Coast, and across the Bahamas on the
7th Sept, has proved dreadfully destructive to
several settlements of the latter cluster. In
one called the Bight, out of twenty-four in
habitants, twenty were destroyed. The de
vastation of crops, roads, improvements, and j
loss of stock and buildings, &c. has been im-1
mense. Hulls of vessels, some bottom up, are j
seen floating about the gulf in almost every !
direction on the Bahama side. In one house
at Nassau were boarding twenty-five sea cap
tains, all masters of vessels that had been I
wrecked.
The Editor of the Boston Transcript says
he has been shown a hoe, which was com
pletely embedded in a stick of live oak timber
of the growth of this State. The timber was
intended to be used in building a ship at
Wareham. It measured fifteen inches square,
and the hoe was discovered by one of the
shipbuilders cutting into it with an axe. It
was carefully extracted from its hiding-place
with a chisel, and the eye of the hoe was
found near the centre of the stick, where was
a knot indicating a branch, and the edge was
an inch below the surface. The probability
is, that the hoe was suspended on a branch of
the tree long since, and was forgotten, and
escaped notice until the wood grew over, and
buried it, past all remembrance.
Revolution in Mexico. —The Garrison
at Tampico rose in arms on the Bth Oct. last,
and declared in favor of the Constitution of
1824. —It is said the interior seconds these
movements, if so, the present Government of
Mexico must fall, and an arrangement with
France will be made.
A fracas occurred at the Tremont House,
in Boston, on the 23d ult. between Mr. J. B.
Delano of New York, and Mr. George P.
Timmons, of Charleston, S. C.—After a war
of words, the latter became so much exaspera
ted, that he discharged a pistol at the former,
the ball of which luckily missed its object,
and buried itself in the wall. The affair was
to be the subject of a police investigation.
A duel with broadswords was fought near
New Orleans, on the 25th ult. by two individ
uals whose names we do not find, one of whom
died of his wounds the following day. The
combat was quite terrific ; several wounds
having been received by both parties; the
survivor had his arm nearly severed from his
breast, and his head badly cut—the deceased
was run through the body; but, notwithstand
ing was able to walk to the hotel, from
whence he was taken to the steamboat and
conveyed to the city.
The new steam ship Liverpool, which has
been fitting out in the Trafalgar dock, was
advertised "to sail on her first voyage to New
York on the 20th of last month.—She is said
to be a splendid vessel, and is expected to sail
fast.
A regular steam navigation, consisting ot
four vessels of 1800 tons burthen each, is
about to be established between Havre and
New York.
A man by the name of House, has been
arrested in Macon on a charge of passing
,<Sj counterfeit bills on the Bank ot B>tatc ot
Georgia, payabir in Savannah.
The Exploring Expedition was seen on the
]sth Sept, by the brig Mexican of Salem, in
lat 35° long. 20° 30.
FOREIGN.
Since the arrival of the steamer Royal
| William, a number of packet ships have ar
rived at New York from Europe. The Hiber
| nian, brings dates from London and Liver
i pool eight days later than before received, and
i the Burgundy brings dates from France to
| Ist October, and from Ixmdon and Liverpool
one day later than the Hibernian.
J In England, the cotton market remained
| about the same as last advices,
j The most interesting topic relates to the
' grain market The duty on foreign wheat
j had risen in England to 10s. Bd. per quarter,
i The weather had continued fine for harvest
j ing, and the crop would be secured in excel-
I lent condition, yet notwithstanding this, prices
! had advanced.
j Throughout the whole of the corn produc
ing districts in Western Germany, the harvest
has proved most favorable both in quality and
quantity, and the farmers are well contented
with the returns of this year’s crops.
The news from Spain is unfavorable to the
Government party.
The Sultan, according to a letter from Con
stantinople, has sent to the Queen of England
a splendid necklace, formed of diamond, ru
bies and emeralds, valued at upwards of three
hundred thousand francs.
Messrs. Curling and Young, of Limehouse,
the builders of the British Queen steam-ves
sel, have begun building a steam-ship, which,
when Completed, is to be of 2000 tons bur
den; consequently', she will carry 400 tons
more than the British Queen; she is not to be ;
so long as that vessel, but much wider. Pre
vious to Messrs. Curling and Young common
cing the former immense sized vessel, they
were tinder the necessity of considerably |
lengthening their dock; upon this occasion,
they were compelled to widen it. We under
stand she is to trade between London and N. I
York.
Warning to Steam-boat Owners. —The steam- j
boat Pilot, at Mobile, has been fined $.500, and
the William Wallace seized, and process j
commenced against several on the western !
waters for breaches of the late law of Con
gress, relative to steam-boats. It appears
that the inspectors are determined to put the
law in force.
The citizens of St. Louis held a meeting on
the 10th inst., to consider the expediency of
establishing a line of steam ships from some
Atlantic port to St. Louis. The meeting was
well attended, and committees appointed to
make the necessary inquiries, and collect
facts and statistics in relation to the import
and export trade of St Louis, and the neces
sity of opening a direct trade with Eastern
ports.
At a military parade in Salem, (Mass.) a
short time since, there were present two of
Washington’s body guards, the only survivors
of that favored band, who partook of the hos
pitalities of the day, with much enthusiasm.
Their names are Nathan Pushee, at present a
resident of Nova Scotia, and Jesse Smith, a
native and resident of Salem. Both are hale,
hearty n'en, though seared with the frost of
eighty-winters. To a toast of Capt. Smith’s to
his fellow soldier, whom he had not seen for
58 years, “ Old Comrade may you live as long
as you wish to,” Pushee promptly replied,
“That will be a very old age.”—Mr. Pushee
had left his home to claim his pension,
amounting to 81000, which was readily paid
him at Boston, in British gold sovereigns.
Joseph Lancaster, the respected founder of
the system of school education called “ Lan
casterian,” met his death in New York a few
days since by being knocked down and run
over by a horse and carriage at full speed.
Mr. L. was in his 07th year, lie will long be
remembered as a zealous and useful laborer in
the cause of education.
The St. Josephs Times of the 24th ult.
says, the steamer Rodney arrived yesterday
at the depot, having on board 20!) of the In
dians from Conchatimico and Walker’s Towns,
on the Apalachicola. These Indians, since
the acquisition of Florida, have resided on the
Apalachicola River, entirely surrounded by
the whites. Their position was mutually in
convenient to both parties, and their removal
highly desired by the inhabitants and the go
vernment. They have been paid for their im
provements and personal propertwgnd on a
day fixed by treaty, they embarked in the
steamboat for their Western home. The
militia and a few regular troops, had been or
dered out to prevent the Indians from dis
persing, or committing any depredations. Too
much praise cannot be given to Mr. Daniel
Boyd, the emigrating agent, who controlled
the movement, for the humanity, energy and
despatch, with which this emigration has been
conducted. We believe that West Florida
now, is free from the presence-of an Indian.
The following list of aliments will show the
relative value and expense of different arti
cles of human subsistence.
One hundred pounds of wheat contains 85
lbs. nutritious matter. Rice 80. Beans 00.
Peas 92. Lentils 94. Meat (average) 35.
Potatoes 26. Cabbage 7. Greens 6. Tur
nips 4.
One pound of well cooked white beans will
go as far to support strength of body as three
lbs. of beef steak. The one will cost 6 cts.
the other 20 cts.
BRUNSWICK ADVOCATE.
BRUNSWICK & ALATAMAHA CANAL.
Reports having been industriously cir
culated that the occurrence of quick-sands
on the route of the Brunswick and Alata
maha Canal will prevent its completion,
Thomas G. Cary, Esq. General Agent of
the Brunswick Companies, has thought
it advisable to publish for the information
of all concerned, the following deposi
tions :
(COPY.)
I, WILLIAM PARKER, formerly of Perth
i Amboy, in New Jersey, and now resident at
! Boston, in Massachusetts, being duly sworn, do
testify and say, that having been for ten years
past professionally engaged in directing the
work on Canals and Rail Roads in Pennsyl
vania and elsewhere, I did in December last,
in consequence of the ill health of the late
Col. L. Baldwin, Chief Engineer of the Bruns
wick Canal and Rail Road Cos., proceed to
Brunswick, in Georgia, by desire of said Com
-1 pany, as Consulting Engineer, to examine the
progress of the work, and to advise concerning
any change of route anfl the building of the
j locks ; and that I remained there in this capaei-
I ty until the middle of the month of May.
After having duly examined the route and
the nature of the ground, I was called upon
to aid in making a contract for the excavation
of the whole of the Canal that remained to be i
dug, in which contract provisions concern-!
ing quick-sands, if they should occur, made \
an important point. The allowance to be l
made for difficulties arising from them were, |
as is usual in such contracts, to be submitted
in some degree to the decision of the Engin-1
eer, and my attention was, therefore, particu- j
larly directed to this subject, that justice might j
be done to each party.
About five hundred hands were put to work
on the Canal by the Contractors, and so con
tinued till my departure. In the course of
the excavation in tlie Spring, the Contractors
opened upon a part of the ground for which
they claimed a large extra allowance as for
quick-sands. I considered them as such, and j
thought the Contractors ought to be paid ac
cordingly for that part of the work, unless by
draining, or otherwise, they could carry it for- j
■ward at the same expense as the other parts
where the excavation presented the usual ap
pearances. As the drains could not be made
in the existing state of the work conveniently,
I finally directed that this portion of the
ground should be left exposed to the sun in
the heat of summer, and that after sufficient
time had elapsed for the due effect of evspora- j
lion, the excavation should be recommenced.
Since my departure from Brunswick, 1 have |
examined the Reports of the Engineer who J
was left in charge of the work, under the di- ]
rections which I had given, and find them to j
be quite as favorable as I had hoped. As the j
statement of the details of the result will |
come most properly from him, I understand !
that his affidavit of facts will be given. From j
my- previous experience in excavation, I am
well acquainted with the appearances and dif
ficulties attending these sands: and the belief
which I have derived from my own observa- j
tion and the reports of the Assistant Engineer
is, that there is no reason to apprehend any
serious difficulty from quick-sands in complet
j ing the Canal from Brunswick to the Alatama
ha.

Comniomeealth of Massachusetts,)
Suffolk County, City of Boston, ss.
Be it known, that on the day of the date
hereof, before me, Thomas A. Df.xteu, a
Commissioner duly appointed by the authorities
of the State of Georgia, within and for the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, resident in
said Boston, and duly qualified to administer
oaths and take depositions to be used in said
State of Georgia, personally appeared Wil
liam Parkeh, Esquire, who is personally well
known to me, and did in my presence sub
scribe the foregoing affidavit, and make sol
emn oath according to law, that all the declara
tions therein contained and by him subscribed,
are wholly and strictly true.
In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set
my hand and affixed my seal, at said Boston,
this 3d day of October, 1838.
THOMAS A. DEXTER, Commissioner.
I, JOSEPH L. LOCKE, Civil Engineer,
being duly sworn do testify and say, that I
have been for some time past professionally
engaged as Principal Engineer in the direc
tion of the work on the Canal between
Brunswick and the Alatamaha ; that on the
recommendation of William Parkeil Esq.,
who spent some months at Brunswick, in the
examination of the work, during the illness of
the late Col. L. Baldwin, then Chief Engin
eer, a part of the line in which there were ap
pearances of quick-sand was left exposed to
the heat of the sun for about three months,
after which it was found that this part of the
ground could be worked through without dif
ficulty or any material increase in the ex
pense. Below this sand the ground was found
to be favorable for excavation, which is go
ing on there since without any serious obsta
cle.
I am well acquainted with the whole route
that has been marked out for said Canal, ipost
of the work upon it having been done under my
personal inspection. A considerable portion
of the excavation has been carried to the full
depth of the Canal. I believe that we have
now- dug through all the varieties of ground
that we are likely to meet with in the route.
No difficulty whatever has yet been encoun
tered in the excavation of this Canal which
was not easily overcome; and from the ex
perience that we have had, I do not believe
that there is any serious difficulty to be ap
prehended therefrom quick-sands or any simi
lar cause. J. L. LOCKE.
Sworn to before me, this 30th October, 18-'lB.
HENRY DUBIGNON, J. I. C. G. C.
I, FREDERICK S. SMITH, Civil Engin
eer, being duly sworn, do testify and say,'that
I have been for the past year professionally
engaged in superintending the work on the
Brunswick Canal, in Georgia, as Assistant
Engineer; that appearances of quick-sands
having been met with in the excavation in May
last, it was recommended that that part of the
work should be left exposed to the sun during
the heat of summer, without any further at
tempt at digging until it should be dry.
In the month of August, by direction of J.
L. Locke, Esq. Engineer of the work, I hired
from the Contractors twenty hands and set
them at work on that part of the Canal which
had thus been exposed to evaporation, keeping
an accurate account of the time and the quan
tity of earth excavated.
! The sand which had caused the difficulty
| yielded readily. The hands carried their cut
| ting through the quick-sands ” and struck a
j stratum of blue clay, mixed with sand, which
is favorable for excavation. The Contractors
j took their hands again, after they had been so
: employed for three days, taking payment at the
| usual rate |>er cubic yard in ordinary digging
for the quantity of earth excavated by them, as
i compensailon for the. time they had been with
j nie. They then put sixty- hands upon the
same place and continued the excavation there j
! without any allowance of pay for their w ork |
! beyond the rate per cubic yard fixed in the !
j contract for common excavation,
j I have necessarily become familiar with all
parts of the route of the Canal from Brunswick
jto the Alatamaha. I believe that we have had |
a fair trial of such quick-sands as is to be
! found there, and there is no reason to fear any
serious obstacle to the completion of the work
from this cause. F. S. SMITH.

JOHN FRANKLIN, Jr. J. P.
[For the Brunswick Advocate.]
Mr. Editor,
If you remember the feelings you experi
enced in the days of your childhood, when,
with cars all attention, you listened to some
wonderful and thrilling^tale like that of “the
giant in seven leagued boots,” or the bean
vine which grew so fast as to reach the sky
in one night. If you remember the admiration
and wonder with which you followed the giant
in his tremendous strides, or the bean vine in
its rapid growth, then you can form some idea
of my feelings, while reading the communica
tion of “ A Navy Island Patriot,” in the Darien
Telegraph of the 23d ult.
I had never seen one of these wonderful
men who had fought in every country under
the sun—whose blood had enriched the soil
ot every nation—whose deeds were blazoned
forth in the annals of glory—whose very names
make men tremble. I had never seen such a
paragon as this—my family foible (curiosity)
was revived, and thinking such an opportunity
might not ever offer again, I determined to
see him.
True, I had seen some of (he heroes of
America; I had seen a Jackson, a Harrison,
a Coffee, a Bainbridge, and a Hull, but these
were mere novices in blood and gun powder,
mere babes in glory, when compared with this
“ Navy Island Patriot.” Here was one, who
had from his youth “ played the soldier,” one
who had fought in every clime who had
measured swords with “ the son-in-law of the
Viceroy of Egypt”—fought side by side with
“ Don Pedro and after all this fame, glory,
and blood, shed in the old world, had come
over to the new, and “ from the purest mo
tives which could actuate the human heart,”
rushed to the aid of the patriots of Canada.
I My curiosity was now at its height, and I
j started forth to get a sight of this wonder ot
j the world —this immaculate patriot, this “pure
democrat" —this “ hero of five wars and innu
merable conflicts”—this ‘‘copier of Falstaff,”
this “dread of Orangemen”—this “.Vary Is
land Patriot .”
No one knew him, no one had seen him, but
'all were as curious and as anxious as myself.
There were many rumors afloat in regard to
his visit to our City, and two of them gained
much credit with the people. The. first was,
that he had come to support the editor of the
Telegraph in what he terms the freedom of
the press. The second, and most generally
believed, was, that he was here for the pur
pose ol holding a private examination of evi
dence in regard to the contested election, and
was actually going to Milledgeville to make a
j speech for a certain would-be-Senator, who
can make none for himself.
j These conflicting reports and opinions did
not allay the excitement, but rather increased
; the curiosity of the people to see one who had
done, (and was to do) so much. All but my-
Iself, however, were doomed to disappointment;
• their curiosity was baffled, and they returned
to their homes as much in the dark as ever.
Not so with me, I pushed in to every corner;
! inquired of all I met—popped in to every hotel
and bar-room examined every stranger’s
face—in fact, did a thousand things which no
! one but myself would have thought of, and
Iliad almost given up the pursuit, when fortu
nately I thought of my umbrella, which 1 had
left in a private box attached to C ’s long
j rooms. Thither I proceeded, and stepping
j softly, (a habit I have contracted,) I heard
| someone talking. I listened, and to my great
joy, it was actually the object of my curiosity,
I in conversation with the editor of the Humbug
i Gazette. I looked in (for my umbrella) and
j lo! there stood, with a glass of toddy in his
! hand,' 11 A Navy Island Patriot,” alias the boot
! cleaner, floor scubbcr, printer’s devil, and
' dooer of all (dirty) work of the office of the
Humbug Gazette, —and thus ended the ad-
I miration wonder and curiosity of
Your obedient servant,
Pall Prv.
P. S. “ A Navy Island Patriot” says that
“flight alone saved him from the gallows,”
and I think no one who has seen him will
doubt it, or dispute his entire right to be hung
at any moment. P. P.
A destructive fire occurred in the City of
Harrisburg, Pa. on the 21st ult. Among the
buildings destroyed, was the Lutheran Church,
| the finest church in the city, which cost $15,-
000. The organ and all the interior, except
the chandeliers, was consumed.
I On the 20th ult. the Legislature of New
J Jersey re-elected Gov. Pennington to that of
j fice for the ensuing year. The vote stood 40
; Whig to 21 Van Burcn.
PUBLIC MEETING.
j At a meeting of the citizens of Glynn,
County, held at the Oglethorpe House in
Brunswick, Oct. 31, 1838, for the purpose of
! choosing delegates to attend the State Con
, veDtion to be held at Milledgeville on the se-
I cond Monday of Nov. inst, on motion of Jo
seph Bancroft Esq. Col. Henry Dubignon was
called to the chair, and Mr. George Harring
ton appointed Secretary.
After a few remarks from the Chair, stating
the objects of the meeting, on motion of
Charles Davis, Esq. a Committee of three was
appointed by the Chair to nominate five dele
gates, to attend said Convention, who reported
the names of T. B. King, U. Dart, F. M. Scar
lett, Henry Dubignon, and William A. Howard,
and the report was unanimously accepted.
On motion, Resolved, That the proceed
ings of this meeting, signed by the Chairman
and Secretary, he published in the “ Bruns

G. Harrington-, Secretan/.
Paris, Sept. 2t>. Considerable sensation
has been excited in Madrid by a murder coni
i mitted by M. Rodriguez, the deputy-, on the
1 person of his wife, a young and beautiful wo
j man, to w hom he was married about two years
’ ago at Seville. M. Rodriguez, who is ex
j tremely jealous, accompanied his lady to a
masked ball given by M. Vinadores. His
wife’s brother was among the guests incog
-1 niio, and wishing to cure his brother-in-law of
his failing, imprudently accosted him with an
inquiry if he was still as jealous as ever.
“ I am, at all events, not jealous of you, beau
masque ,” was the reply. “ There you are
wrong,” said the mask, “ for you have a very
handsome w ife, with whose charms I am deep
ly smitten.” “ So. much the worse for you,”
retorted M. Rodriguez. “By no means,” said
the brother, “ for your wife returns my affec
tion, and, ns a proof of it, I can inform you that
she has a violent mark under her right bosom.”
At these words M. Rodriguez seized the stran
ger with the utmost violence by the hand, ex
claiming, “ Your life or mine ! Meet me in a
quarter of an hour at my house.” lie then
; tore his wife from the quadrille which she was
; dancing, and, without saying a word to her,
| hurried her home. On reaching his hotel, he
j ascended the staircase with his wife still on
• his arm, dragged her into his cabinet without
I procuring a light, opened his secretary, and,
taking from it a loaded pistol, placed the muz
zle close to his wife’s bosom, and shot her
through the heart. At the report, a number
of domestics, accompanied by the ill-fated
lady’s brother, who had been the involuntary
cause of this frightful catastrophe, rushed into
the room with lights. On witnessing the dread
| ful sight which -met his eyes, the brother tore
' off his mask and proclaimed his near rela
tionship to the victim. The disclosure de
prived the wretched husband of his senses,
and he was hurried from the spot in a state of
raving madness, which the Madrid correspon
dent, whom we quote, fears, but we might,
1 perhaps more charitably, hope he will not sur
• ; vive.
