CO PA RTN E RSIIIP.
My brother, Wm. F.l’kmbebtox, having be
come associated with me in the general interest
and management of the Augusta Cinioxici.;;, it
will, from this dale, and No., which is the first of
the new volume, ho published by A. 11. & W. F.
Pemßkiiton, to whom all letters, on the future
business of the establishment, should be addressed.
The former business of the Augusta Chronicle
being wholly separate from the present, it is not
only desirable, but necessary, to collect the debts,
and close the books, of the last ten years, as early
as practicable. All persons indebted, to this date,
are, therefore, earnestly requested to make immedi
ate payment.
A. 11. PEMBERTON.
Augusta, Sept. 30, 1535.
gov. McDuffie’s message.
In this morning’s paper will he found so much
of this important document, as relates to the sub
ject of Taxation, and Southern Slavery ; which
is all our limits will admit of, and which will be
found well worthy of an attentive perusal. We
shall continue further extracts from it in onr
next.
MEASLES.
This disease prevails extensively among chil
dren in Boston. There were 14 deaths from it
the week before last, and 20 last week. Many of
the cases occur, however, among the foreign poor,
whoso children, if not altogether neglected, do
not receive proper attention and treatment.
FROM JAMAICA.
The editor of the Philadelphia U. S. Gazette,
has been favored with a Kingston, Jamaica, paper
of the 6th inst. which states that the government
of the island has boon pursuing the editor of a
papet for a libel. It seems that the question of
freeing the blacks, though settled with regaid to
them, is not so easily disposed of between the
whites : aud the editor of the Kingston, Jam-
Despatch, Mr. Bruce, admitted among other arti
cles of censure, a letter supposed to be grossly
libelous on the Governor, the Marquis of Sligo,
whose manners and person it appeared to ridicule.
The matter was brought before a grand jury, who
refused to find a hill against the editor. The
Attorney General then proceeded - against the
offender ex officio ; this unusual course seems
to have excited the feelings of the community iu
behalf of the editor, and he was acquitted by the
Jury after the pleadings of the most eloquent
lawyers of the island.
MICHIGAN.
The National Intelligencer of the 24th ult.
ss ys “ The annunciation of the election of two
persons of the Legislature of the State of Michi
gan to represent that State (when it shall become
a State) in the Senate of the United Slates, it
appears, was premature when made, but has liccn
verified by the subsequent action of the Legisla
ture. On the 10th instant Lucius Lyon and
John Norvell, were elected, by the Legislature
of Michigan, Senators in the Congress of the
United Stales. Mr. Lyon was nominated unani
mously by each branch of the Legislature. Mr.
Norvell was chosen in joint ballot, the two hous
es not agreeing in their nomination. The con
test was between Mr. Norvell and John Biddle,
Esq. In the Senate Mr. Biddle was nominated
on the third ballot, by a vole of 10 to 9. In the
House of Representatives Mr. Norvell received
27 to 20 for Mr. B. In joint ballot, the vote
stood for Mr. Norvell 32, for Mr. Biddle 28.
Both these gentlemen are said to be friends of the
present Administration of the Government.”
LATE FROM MEXICO.
The ship Montezuma, arrived at New York
on the 23d uIL from Vera Cruz, brings advicei
from Mexico to the Ist nit. inclusive.
The New York Commercial Advertiser says—
“ The tiding* of the recent mouements in Tcxai
had reached the capital, and as was to be cxpcct
* ed, had produced a great excitement. The most |
energetic measures wcic resorted to without a 1
‘ moment’s delay, and there is every appearance
that we shall soon hear of serious doings in the
revolted province. A strong feeling of ill will
L and suspicion against the Americans resident in
Mexico, were aroused, and apprehensions were
. entertained of injury to their persons aud prop
erty. A large number of commissions for pri
' vaioers—the accounts say five hundred—had been
’ received at Vera Cruz, to be given out as occasion
, might require. T lm archbishop of Mexico and
\ the bishop of Puebla hud undertaken to furnish
’ the government with a million of dollars to carry
. on the war. [This is the most important movc-
I ment of the whole, for the government is notori
, ously afflicted with extreme poverty.]
' A division of two thousand infantry had been
ordered to assemble at Metamoras, and three
f hundred cavalry under Gen. Montezuma had be
| gun their march to Monteury in Texas. It was
j said that Gen. Santa Anna himself would pro
. ceed thither to take the chief command,
i The new constitution had been adopted by con
gress and proclaimed. Some opposition was
made, but without effect.”
MISSISSIPPI ELECTIONS.
From the Mississippi papers we learn that the
Van Buren candidate for Governor of that Stale,
Mr. Runnels, has been beaten by his opponent,
Judge Chaui.es Lynch, the candidate of the op
position to the Baltimore Convention ; and that
David Dickson and F. 11. Claiborne, both
Anti-Van Buren men, are elected members of
Congress.—The Argus of the 20th states that it
has received information from Clinton, that near
two-thirds of the members of the Legislature are
in favor of White for the Presidency.—Mr.
Charles C. Mayson, (a State Rights man)
formerly of South Carolina, has been elected State
Treasurer. The Van Buren candidate for Audi
tor of Public Accounts, Mr. Malloky, is elected.
THE LATE ARRESTS, Ac.
The Cassville Pioneer of the 30th instant, con
tains the following information relative to the ar
rest of John Howaiiu Payne, Esq. and the In
dian Chief John Ross, in addition to that publish
■ ed in our paper of Wednesday last:—
“We stated in our last week’s paper, that John
Ross and a gentleman from the North had been
arrested by the Georgia Guard. We then ex
pressed some doubts of the correctness of the re
port, particularly in relation to the charges pre
ferred against them. Since our former communi
cation we have received correct information rela
tive to the matter. There was no positive evi
dence of their exciting the Indians and Negroes
to the commission of hostilities j from which cir
cumstance they released Ross ; but still continue
to bold in custody the Gentleman of the North,
whoso name we learn, is Payne. He is now pre
paring a work for publication, in which he tra
duces the President of the U. S. and the com
missioners of (ho government appointed to treat
with the Cherokccs. The Georgia Guard he terms
a hand or robbers, who are placed among the In
dians for the destruction of their liberties and
property.
We guess it will he a fortunate escape of Mr.
Payne if tie is dismissed without a passport from
Judge Lynch. Nothing hut his being the author
of “ Sweet homo” will shield him from the just
indignation of the Guard.”

[Tills bill having passed both Houses at two suc
cessive sessions, is now a part of the Constitu
tion ; and all that is further necessary, to carry tho
important and excellent object of it into effect, is
the passage of an ordinary act of the Legislature,
to carry out the details, end the election of three
Judges, Among those details, is tho important
duty of fixing the terra of office, laying out the
Judicial Districts, &c. &c.; and it is said that
tho Union majority design to put in their Judges
for life, and render it otherwise obnoxious to the
Stale Rights men ; but on this subject that party
is not united, as nearly all the opponents of tho
Court are Union men, and it is hoped that they
will not now unite with their party, on this matter,
for mete party purposes, aud that the details will
consequently, and most fortunately, be arranged
without reference to parly—except as to the elec
tion of Judges, when they will of course unite
on their own party candidate!. It is indeed much
to bo regretted, that stlch Judges can not he elected
with reference to their individual merits, rather
than their party preferences ; hut so it is. The
Union men in the minority are greatly enraged
at the unexpected passage of the bill, and some
of them threaten strange and unusual things.
But, . One of the most prominent of them
told us that the Stale Rights parly would deeply
rue their support of the bill before tho session is
over—meaning as to the manner in which the
details will lie carried out. We replied, no, hav
ing acted on principle, alone, and done their duty,
they can never regret such a course as that; and
now it remains to be seen whether tho Union
men will do their duty ; at any rale, do what
they may, they must necessarily hear die respon
sibilitics of their conduct, and take the conse
quences of it.—The State Rights men have acted
nobly in this matter. Tho project originated
with them ; they have struggled for it boldly and
determinately for many years, against tho deep
prejudices, and persevering hostilities of their
party opponents; and now, when success first ,
cams within their power, they did not selfishly
cast it aside for the present, because those party
opponents must reap all the triumphs and re
wards of the victory. No—without knowing a
single tittle of what their opponents may do in
the details, and disregarding all their taunts and
insinuations, they have nobly clung to their ptin- j
ciples, and voted for the measure to the last, i
which roust otherwise have been lost. Their i
opponents have sometimes talked of giving them
one of the Judges; but this has not influenced
them in the least. They have had no hopes of
such a result, and have not now. They knew
well the object of such intimations, and treated ]
them as they deserved. They know, too, that if ;
one was given to them, he would be such a one
as they would not select themselves; for it is
scarcely to be expected, that their opponents
would allow them to select one who would over
shadow their two i and they certainly will not
desire to select such a one as would he over'
shadowed by them, and render themselves and
their party responsible in part for tho conduct of
the whole. No—let them keep aloof from all
such responsibility, and, since the Judges must be
selected with reference to parly, not choose be
tween tho candidates of their opponents, but put
up able and well-qualified candidates of their own
such as they can put no, and as would do hon
or to themselves, the Court, and the State—and,
if they arc defeated by less capable and able men,
the fault will not bo theirs.
It is but just, too., to a large portion of those
who voted against the bill, to say that they, also,
however mistaken in opinion, have acted honestly
and consistently in this matter—adhering to their
: old and doubtless honest views, oven against their
, own parly, and refusing to yield the opinions they
held when in the minority, to any considerations
of office, or party triumph, now they belong to
, the majority. We cannot but respect their dis
, interested honesty and consistency, however dc*
, cidedly and totally we must differ from them in
. opinion.
, The bill to amend the constitution, so as to «e*
i lablish Biennial Sessions of the Legislature, &e.
j was taken up, and, after some debate, on the part
. of Messrs. Bates and Gordon of Chatham, in
- favor of it, and Messrs. Black of Scrivcn, Iln.L
i Jasper, and Mi. run wether against it, r-Jcct
. ( ed, for want of a constitutional majority of two :
• i thirds—yeas 84, nays 56.
A message was rcccivoJ from the Governor,
transmitting a letter from Col. Burks of Stewart
county, and a petition from numerous citizens of
that county, setting forth that the Creek Indians
of Alabama had invaded their section, killed one
man, and compelled olhcrs to fly, and were still
committing depredations; and that Col, BurkS
hnd collected one hundred Volunteers for imme
diate relief; and calling for additional aid on tho
Governor; who recommends the matter to the
immediate consideration of the Legislature, and
says that if it should not be disposed to use any
other force than the Militia, he shall proceed to
toko such measures for their protection, as the
law may justify. Tho message and documents
were referred to the select committee on tho sub
ject of the former Indian depredations in tho same
quarter.
Since tho adjournment of the House, an Ex
press has arrived from Stewart county; with the
intelligence, that a battle was fought between tho
whites and the Indians three days ago, in which
several were killed, and a number wounded on
both sides, aud tho latter wore defeated, but ex
pected to return in greater numbers; and en
treating aid from the Government. We trust
that instant aid will be afforded. Tho condition
of the people in that section is said to have been
most deplorable, for a long time past, ami to have
been treated by the former Governor with tho
most unjustifiable and unaccountable negligence.
THE RIVER,
Contrary to general expectation; lias fallen very
considerably within tho last three or four days,
and is now barely high enough for Steam Boat
navigation. It was still falling, very slowly, last
evening, and, unless wo have rain very soon, of
which there is at present no probability, in a day
or two Stcamboata will not bo able to reach our
wharves.
Eire !—Last night a little before 7 o’clock, fire
was discovered issuing from the upper part of a ,
building in tho rear of a dwelling, recently occu
pied by Air. Bern, at tho corner of South and
West Broad-streets, which was quickly enveloped
in flames. From the exertions of the citizens re
siding in the vicinity, the fire was prevented from
extending, until the Engines could arrive—on
which, the fire was speedily extinguished without
further injury. Tho building destroyed had boon
used us a stable; but atrlhe time of the occurrence,
was unoccupied. From this fact, no doubt exists,
but that it was the act of an incendiary.—Savan

Cotton. —Our accounts last week, closed wilh

Indian Vegetable Elixir.
A Sure and Safe Remedy for Rheuma
t hem, acute and chronic , Gout, and all
, Chronic pains of Bones, Joints, Muscles,
\ arising from a too free use of Mercury,
. or other causes.
THE VOICE OF EXPERIENCE
' ffJTAS SPOKEN! and the afflicted are otica
' .HX more called upon to listen to facts which
cannot be controverted; for a few years past tho
INDIAN VEGETABLE ELIXIR has effected
nlorc cures in the cases it is recommended for,
than any other medicine that has ever been as
> commended to the public. It is confidently re
r scried that in 90 cases out of 100, it has had the
b desired effect in removing Rheumatism, Gout,
Pains in the Bones, Joints and Muscles. A few
( dl a great many proofs are herewith submitted.
] So important is it always to have it at hand, that
) every family would do well to keep it by them in
, case of need. So effectual has the Vegetable Xn
i dian Elixir proved in all those cases in which it is
recommended, that the proprietor feels authorised
. to stato, it will effect a cure in ninety cases out of
a hu aired, when taken according to the printed
directions accompanying each Bottle.—The Elixir
is composed entirely of Vegetable in gredienta;
and may tie taken Without the least risk or injury
to tho constitution. It is unnecessary to say more
in favor o this invaluable Remedy ; too many lit
, this community have already been cured by it, for
I its virtues long to remain unknown, and it must,
and will become tho universal resort of the afllic
-1 ted here, as it has done in other places. For tho
i urthcr satisfaction of those who may feel dispos
i cd to doubt the efficacy of this medicine, the fol
. owing Certificates arc submitted : Its reputation;
. however, is now cs abUsbcd in every neighbor
hood in South Carolina, and hundreds of our mos
rcspectablc citizens can testily to its truly admiral
bio qualities.
Who can doubt the efficacy oflhe Indian
Vegetable Elixir.
This is to csrtily, that I, tho subscriber, have
■ for several j,ears past, at stated periods, been
grievously afflicted with rheumatism, and have at
intervals been confined to my house unable to at
tend my ordinary avocations. 1 hud resorted W
the common remedies, without obtaining relief
■ Hearing of tho value of Dr. Fitch’s medicine, I
applied to him fur the same, and have, as I trust,
by tho efficacy of his Indian Vegetable Elixir, been
. perfectly cured. On one occasion I was for mora
than a month in such a situation, that I could no
move my limbs without assistance, and by making
use of one bottle, was restored. At another time
I was for the space of three weeks unable to leave
my house, and by the use of one bottle was again
relieved. I therefore recommend cordially, and
with great confidence, this invaluable specific tor
those who are afflicted with Rheumatic com
plaints. WM. BARCLAY.

Dr. Jt. Fitch; —Sir—l toko this opportunity,

raculous cure effected by your Indian Vegetable
Elixir on my daughter since I last, saw you. I
purchased two hollies of the Elixir and admin
istered them to my daughter; after having used
one huttls she was greatly relieved, and tho se
cond restored her health altogether. She is in
the enjoyment of better .health than she has had
for several years. I deem it my duty to make
this communication to you with a desire that
you may make whatever use you think proper of
it; and I earnestly recommend the use of the
Elixir to all those who aro suffering in a similar
