MATCH RACE.
Yesterday the match race between Argylc and
John Bascombe, was run over the Lafayette
coutse, in the presence of at least 6000 spectators.
Bascombe had the track and a few feet the start
of Argylc, but was soon passed by the latter, who
ran ahead until they turned the last corner—
Bascombe then came up and they both passed
ihc polls nearly at the same time. Bascombe
then took the lead, and before the second round
■was made, it was apparent that Argylc was fail
ing and could not overtake his competitor, and on
the fourth round entirely failed and was distan
ced.

THE LADIES’ COMPANION
For March, comes with its usual variety of in
letcsting matter, and a beautiful embellishment,
presenting a view of the N. Y. Lunatic Asylum.
It is filled with tales and poetical excerpts, origi
nal and selected. The “ Cherokee's Threat,'
a tale by N. P. Willis, is a highly interesting
paper, and embodies much that is truly bcauiti
fal in the thought of that young writer. The
“ Public Man,” is, also, a good talc—or would
be, were the picture true. “ All’s well, that ends
well;” and whatever obstacles lie in the path
that leads to the consumation of the young man’s
desires, —whatever cares and toils molest and
weary his early years, his, shares more blessings
than usually fall to the lot of age, who finds in
Ids declining years, that the fondest wishes and
& hopes ofliis youth were not spent in vain. “ The
Conflagration," is an isleresesting little story,
founded on the late disastrous fire in N. York,
and beautifully illustrates what female affection
I often, docs, and can do, when the shafts of mis
fortune fall in merciless destruction, on the objec
lof her devotion. The other articles are general);
= entertaining, but we would advise our readers t<
look to it, for the Companion’s worth, and to oui
I*- advertising columns for its contents.

PRESIDENTIAL. ELECTORS.
Our friend of the Sentinel suggests that a Hu
miliation by the State Sights Parly of Elotton
id should be made with “an eye single to the prCsi
dential contest,” and insists upon a “ mixed tick
n et of White men, from the hitherto opposing
_ parlies in the State,” and this he denominates e
a, “State Rights Electorial Ticket.” For ourselves
,‘ l wa neither seethe propriety, or the consistency
1( j of such a choice. Judge Winn; is not a Stale
s, Rights man. He docs not advocate, he never has
y advocated the principles of that party. He sus
tained the Force Bill in its most odious and ob
,f jectionable features. This single act of his politic
- al life, if there were no other, is sufficient for his
fi utter condemnation. It is impossible for the State
J Rights Parly to respect their principles, and as a
n party to sustain Judge White as their Candi
date. We break down the moral strength and
energy of our party by such a choice. We arc
* contending for pnnciples, not men. We arc in
the minority. We know it—we feel it—we have
e nothing to rely upon but our moral and intellec
i, tual strength. Our minority is a large one—it is
f now firm, compact, united. It has every thing to
hope from its intelligence, reason, and energy.
By compromising our principles in sustaining
1 Judge White —by compromising them again ill
s presenting to the people a “ mixed ticket ” from
“ the hitherto opposing parties of the State,” we
introduae discord into our ranks, and dissention
B in our councils j we descend from our hitherto
proud and safe posiiion, and reduce our party to
the level of such others as are merely contend
ing for places and power In the country. Besides,
we see nothing in Judge White to excite any
strong desire for his success! He can boast of no
■ great public services; he is not a man of splen
did abilities. He could not, if he would, airest
; the downward tendency of events. We doubt if
he would have the will, —we are certain he would
’ not have the power to retrieve the shattered slate
. of the Republic, if he goes into the Presidential
Chair by means of political combinations, by the
votes of “ mixed tickets.” No : we say to ou r
opponents—with you rests the responsibility of
[ giving the electoral vote of the State of Georgia.
| We, as a party, interfere not in the matter. Give
it to Judge White, and should he be elevated,
while we shall feel no extravagant joy at the re,
suit, yet considering the principles you profess,
we shall acknowledge the propriety of your
i course, and give you all the credit for the pUrlty
, and patriotism of your motives. Give it to Van
Boron, and we will hold you now and hereafter,
' responsible to the people of Georgia for that act,
and woe to you in the hour of trial, when the
aroused and united south, rallies to the rescue of
her dearest interests and most sacred rights.
MISS BABNBS’S BENEFIT.
We have the gratification to remark that the
citizens of Augusta gave this worthy young lady
an overflowing house, on Monday evening. Nor
did she show herself insensible of their favors.
Her part, Mariana, in the tradgedy of the Wife,
was performed in a manner highly creditable to
her elavaled and meritorious character as an ac
tress, and met with unrestrained and universal
applause. Some of the other characters were not
sustained as well as they might have been, and
not altogether suitable to the occasion.
Owing to ihc confusion and noise, by some un
couth, vulgar, and, perhaps, Intoxicated persons,
many who were at a distance from the stage,were
deprived of hearing distinctly, much of the most
interesting parts of this tragedy. Why individ
uals of such a caste, are allowed to insult the feeb
ings of those who attend the theatre for benefi
cial purposes, —why those who have the right to
command order and decorum during the hours of
performance, do not do so, we arc at a loss to de
termine ; unless it be the fear of making the con
fusion still greater than before. Let the con
sequences he what they may, we believe it a duty
which managers of the theatre owe to the public,
the institution, their own private and bublic cha
racter, to check such proceedings; and in the
event that their voice is not listened to, or regar
ded, is there a gentleman who has any regard for
his character as such,or his feelings as an enlighten
ed high-minded man, who would refuse to lend his
voice, and his arm, too, if necessary, to support
the dignity and honor of an institution, which in
past times has been, and ever should be, most sa
credly dear to the intelligent and virtuous 1 We
believe there is none. And wc sincerely hope
that measures will be taken to preserve the quiet
and peace of the house; and especially, when so
well filled with the elite and beauty of the city,
as on Monday evening.
CONGRESSIONAL.
On Monday, 4lh inst. the bill for the admission
of the State of Arkansas, being read a third time
in the Senate, was passed, by a majority of 31 to
6.—The following are the Ist, 2d, and Bth sections:
A BILL for the admission of the Suite of Arkan
sas in the Union, and to provide fur the due
execution of the laws of the United States within
the same, and for other purposes.
Whereas the People of the Territory of Arkan
sas did, on the thirteenth day of January, in the
1 present year, by a convention of delegates called
i and assembled for that purpose, form for them
selves a Constitution and State Government,which
Constitution and Slate Government, so formed, is
' republican; and whereas the number of inhabi
-1 tance within the said Territory exceeds forty-sev
, en thousand seven hundred persons, computed
according to the rule prescribed by the Constitu
-1 tion of the United Slates; and the said convention
1 have, in their behalf, asked the Congress of the
■ United States to admit the said Territory into the
Union as a State, on an equal footing with the
’ original Stales;
> lie it enacted, iic. That the Stale of Arkansas
i shall lie one, and is hereby declared to be one of
is- the United Stales of America, and admited into
ct the Unioh on an equal fooling with the oiiginnl
States, in all respects whatever; and the State
y shall consist of all the territory included with the
to following boundaries, to wit: beginning in the
lr middle of the main Channel of the Mississippi ri
ver, on the parallel of the thirty-six degrees north
latitude, running from thence west, with the said
parallel of latitude, ft) the St. Francis river; thence
up the middle of the main channel of said river
> to the parallel of thirty-six degrees thirty minutes
>c north; from thence west, to the south west corner
* of the State of Missouri; and from thence, to he
bounded on the west, to the north bank of Red
river, by “the lines described in the first article of
g the treaty made between the United States and
a the Cherokee nation of Indians west of the Mis
sissippi, on the 26th of May, in the year of our
8 Lord one thousand eight hundred and twenly
y eight;’' and to be bounded on the south side of
lc Red riVcr by the Mexican boundary line, to the
lg ttorlhWost corner rtf the State of Louisiana; thence
east, with the Louisiana State line, to the middle
*■ of the main channel of the Mississippi river;
i- thence up the middle of Ihc main channel of the
said river, to the thirty-sixth degree of north lati
g tude, the point of beginning.
Sec. 2. And be it farther enacted. That until
* the next general census shall be taken, the said
a State shall lie entitled to on S vrosentative in
j. the House of Represcntativi 'of the United
j States. O'
Sec. 8. And be it further enacted, That the
c State of Arkansas Is admitted into the Union up
i on the express condition that the People of the
e said State shall never interfere with the primary
disposal of the public lands within the said State,
nor shall they levy a tax oil any of the lands of the
* United Stales withiil the said State; and nothing
0 in this act shall be construed as an assent by Con
gress to all or to any of the propositions contained
in the ordinance of the said convention of the
1 People of Arkansas, nor to deprive tho said State
i of Arkansas of the same grants, subject to the same
, restrictions which were made to the Slujc of Mis
souri by virtue of an act entitled “An act to au
thorize the people of the Missouri Territory to
1 form a State Government, and for the admission
> of such State into the Union on an equal footing
, with the original Stales, and to prohibit slavery
in certain Territories,” approved the sixth day of
March, one thousand eight hundred and twenty.

f Extract of n letter, dated
5 Washington, 1836.
“ The next man who struck and caught my at
[. tention in Washington, is well known; he is a
I man well known at the south, and over the Union,
and would attract the attention of any observer,
J * r
I be he a foreigner or a native and come from
where he may. For more than 25 years has that
man labored in the service of the Republic. He
p is now grey-haired, the autum of life is upon him, j
while the summer-heat of inspiration, animates ,
his soul in debate. Ho is a fearful antagonist in i
argument, and however mistrustful some may ho 1
’ of hisjmotivcs, none, no, not one, woman, man, or
■ child, who know any thing of the man, wifi deity
’ him the mead of great talents. There arc few in
the Senate chamber but would rather avoid than
covet to a contest with him. There he stahds,
1 dressed in a full suit of black, tall, and as stright
as an arrow. He is speaking, and every gesture,
with the solid earnestness of his features, proves ‘
him to be engaged in some important affair. The
surplus revenue is the object of his consideration, .
which he handldes in the most impressive man- (
ncr. 1
His features arc regular, but a little dark and
pallid—his eyes pretty large, round, blue, and ex- ;
pressive. His fore-haad wide, but not very high—
his nose between tho Grecian and Roman, full |
and well turned—his lips thin, but his mouth and
chin protty wide and square—he has a face that
can neither be described accurately nor painted; |
I have never seen a likeness of him. The prints i
sold for him, arc miserable caricatures. Such *
is John 0. Calhoun—such is the man who re- j
ported and sustained the declaration of war against *
Great Britian in 1812, in the House of Rcpresen- t
tatvea of the Unified states. Such is the man, who *
for so many years made an able Secretary of War, ,
and afterwards was Vice President of the United t
States. Mr. Calhoun, I discover, is very popular *
in the District of Columbia—here, as in Pendle- *
ton, his present home, he made a kind neighbor, t
and obliging friend, and gained the private es- I
teem and affection of all who knew him.
r
Ho has in his day rendered important assis- f
tance to young men struggling for an education i
mid advancement in life. An anecdote is related *
of McDuffie, which is strongly illustrative of this *
filet. Many years ago, before South Carolina f
was split into the two parties Us they now stand, '
Mr. McDuffie was a member df the legislatufo of
that state. During the session, a proposition was J
before the House to give an additional sum to the {
Columbia College. A memlicr from one of the r
upper districts Opposed the donation, Ort the J
ground that too much money hail already been j
wasted on that Institution without its ever hav- (
ing produced any good. On this Judge Daniel 1
Huger, rose and said, “if that College had never 1
fj
done any thing more than educate one man, and j
that man George McDuffie, (pointing his fin- 1
ger at him,) yet it had done enough to deserve
all the patronage the State had ever bestowed on !
it, or was ever likely to give it.” Mr. McDuffie
rose and observed that he begged leave to state, {
that if lie had met with any success in life which c
deserved any praise, or that claimed the gratitude t
of himself and friends, it was nothing more than
right to give it where it was due; that whatever
ho was now or might lie in after life, he Was in- *
debted for it all to Mr. Calhoun, and it was to
him and his patronage,'the honor and gratitude, in
the present ease, properly belonged.” r
Such praise of a man, so publicly expressed, '
was*of the highest character to Mr. Calhoun, and
was worth more than all his political renown, as (
great as it is. When he passes away, he will not
leave his equal behind,

' j “Picolata, Florida, April 6lh, 1836.
s * “I did intend to write you at some length b
i ' the Florida, but she r.omcs, and is oil', giving «
• no time to write. Wo have no news wliatevt
i from the army since it left Fort Drane, and ai
I therefore apprehensive that our troops have gon
! to Tampa without finding the enemy. One thin
r is certain, the passage of the Withlacoochce ha
i not been disputed, nor has any battle lieen fougli
in that vicinity, or we would have been apprise
■ of it.
I The centre of the army marched from For
Drane in two columns, with the provisions, Aci
betweenthem —the right column, under the coin
mand of Gen. Smith, of Louisiana, and the led
commanded by Col. Bankhead. Every preeaulioi
was taken to guard against surprise. Gcil. Eustie’
column marched for Volusia, and Col. Lindsay'
from Tampa, about the same time that the arm;
loft Fort Drane.
Florida is the worst country in the World ti
make war in. No supplies—rto means Os tram
pdrtation.
If I can get any thing authentic, I will writ
write you by the next boat."
From the Jacksonville Courier, April 7.
THE WAR.
Nothing definite has been heard from Ocneja
Scott sittee the report of his cannon announced hi
arrival at the Withlacoochee on the 29th ult
Shortly after the troops left Fort Drane, the Imh
ana burnt the place of Mr. Brooks, about 4 milei
from the Fort. From the latest accounts, it wouli
appear that the Indians are scattering. Trail:
have been discovered leading in diflerent direc
lions from the nation. They recently stole fern
or five horses from Col. G. Humphreys, near Mi.
canopy, and have driven off several cattle. ShOUlc
the Indians separate in straggling parties, it Will
be impossible to remove them this spring, and we
shall be the prey of a roving enemy, driven to dcs.
peration by the prospects before them, by hungci
and starvation, or death. Total ruin must await
the citizens of Alachua, unless Government come
to their relief,
Mr. Lowe, who arrived from Alachua last eve
ning, brings the news that Col. Lindsay met the
Indians a few miles the other side of the Wilhla
coochec, before he had joined Gen. Scott, Col.
Lindsay fired upon the Indians, who, after return
ing the lire, fled to the hammock. Thirty Indians
were found dead. Only one white man was killed.
Further particulars, and the consequences of this
engagement, we arc unable to learn.
The steamer Santee reached this place last
night; it left Volusia Sunday morning. Nothing
had been heard from Gen. Eustia since the day
after he left Volusia.
The three divisions of the army must have met
ere this. The consequences we are anxious to
learn.
Some invalids, who arrived a few days since
from Volusia, report that of seven hundred men
belonging to Col. Brisbane’s Regiment, 3 hundred
were unable to proceed on the march, through
sickness, occasioned by the hardships to which
the men were unaccustomed, & the prevalence of
the measles among them. Poor fellows, they
doubtless find that fighting the Indians is not
“what it was cracked up to be.”
Brigadier Gen. Pope has lieen honorably dis
charged from the service of the United States by
Major General Macomb, there being no need of so
large a force from Georgia ns a Brigade.
We learn, moreover, that Col. Crane i'h instruc
ted to discharge likewise the battalion of mounted
infantry under Major Ross, which reached New
nansvillc on Tuesday evening, mid is daily ex
pected at Picoiata, from the same State, as soon
as it shall arrive. Its services in the estimation
of the commanding officers in Florida not being
required.
Gen. Pope, with those of his stalf, who have
not already left, will leave this evening, in the
Florida, for Savannah.
By the arrival of the Dolphin, from St. Augus
tine, we learn that Gen. Macomb left for Tampa
Bay yesterday.
Jteminisceniie of a soldier. —At the memora
ble battle fought by Gen. St. Clair with the In
dians, arid in which the American army was de
feated atid cut to pieces, so that there were few
who escaped to toll the tale, there was a Quar 1
termaster of the Ist Regiment, who had been
“ detached,” says Gen. St. Clair, “ with his corps
to the rear, in charge of the luggage. When the
slaughter began, finding himself without cone
mand or employ, ho made his way to that [mint
where the battle raged fiercest, and perceiving at
the front battery, commanded by Major Fergu
son, no officer but the Major, the others having
fallen, ho took command of a couple of six poun
ders, with which he continued until the Major
and every man attached to the battery but one,
had fallen—that man he detained a short time
by threatening to cut him down ifhs run. Stan
ding on the slain, he loaded and fired a cannon
five times by himself, and under cover of his
intrepidity the remnant Os the army Had retreat
ed—of which he was hoi aware until some mitt l
utes after. Pursuing a route which his sagacity
directed, he overtook Den. St, Clair eight miles
from the battle groutfd. He Was the last mail,
who quit the bloody field.”
In the battle of Wayne, there was an Aid-db-
Camp, of Whom Oco. Wilkinson says, “ I had
occasion to send him to the right, and in His
cotlrse he met a crpiad of Irldians, charged thciri
sword in hand, received their fire, turned thelt
rear, and fotccd otic of them on of them on the
bayonets of a party of light iufantry, commanded
by Capt. Claiborne, and under the eye of that
officer, and executed the duty entrusted to him.
He has risen from the ranks In our service, has
passed through every grade of the line and the
stalf with applause and has served twenty-three
years without a day's respite from duly—he is
brave, intelligent and honorable.”
That Quartermaster and Aid-de-Camp was the
late venerable veteran Col. B. IShainburgh, of
New Orleans,
GovEniron Tazewell, of Virginia, has resign
ed his office. This is said to lie the first instance
of the resignation of a governor of that .Stale since
the Revolution.— Jßaltimore American.

, ship-heard not cleared, on the 7th inst. 31,736

. has lieen a moderate demand for Uplands since
i our last rejiort, without any change in prices ex l

I 21. The returns of the sales this week arc im
t perfect, in Consequence of several sellers refusing
to furnish Bn account of their sales, arising from
’ an exception taken by them to a remark in our
last statement that the rise of the week was attri
[ hulahlc to purchases for the Charleston market.
In Sea Islands the sales amounts to 391 hales
white at the following prices; 11 at 36, sat 37,

7 Cotton. —The very limited demand for cotton
83 I noticed in our Inst report continued up to Toe
39 | day evening of the present wbek. On WeJnci
64 day morning dates from Liverpool to the 131
February woie received representing that marki
04 hi n healthy condition with some alight ihiprovi
mont in prices: These accounts created i bctu
37 feeling, and in (hat and the succeeding day, aver
*4(l fair business Was done at the full currency of la:
84 week, but without any decided advance. Yei
00 torday the demand flagged a little, and but ver
02 few sales were effected. The transactions of th
1)4 week extend to about six thousand bales, whic
48 considering the stock on sale, is hut a modcrat
00 business.
50 It is now evident that local speculation has bee
8| checked, probably by the continued scarcity c
42 mdney.—As these (operations have heretofore ex
07 ertasod no little influence in supporting prices, i
jg is scarcely reasonable to expect any advanc
1(0 while they are suspended, unless advices fron
DO abroad should bo even more favorable than thosi
DO ilready received. Holders continue firm, whib
purchasers nlitnifest but little inebriation to ente
tile market at current rales, and the week close
rather heavily. We make, no charigo in quota
59 tions. Received this Wtck 8,634 bales. Expor
55 ted 10,875, leaving tint stock on hand, all inelu

H) in stock of 6377 bales and leaving oil hand, in
19 elusive of all on ship-board not cleared On 31 «l
ultimo, a stock of 103,013 bales. The opera
tions in Colton since our Inst have been very ex
_ tensive, without any alteration in prices inord
9 than the difference that arises between a dull and
_ n brisk mutkel; the sides in the first of the week,
when the inquiry was rather languid, being per
haps a fraction lower than towards its termina
tion, where the demand became more animated,
and fuller prices, wcie given, particularly after the
® Liverpool accounts of the 19lh of February were
received. The inquiry has not, as heretofore, hccii
” confined exclusively to the finer grades, although
” they still have the preference, hut has extended
® pretty generally throughout the whole range.
“ The total amount of sales exceeds 20, I 'loo bales.
J* Sugar. —New-Orlcans—As fur as our informn
® tion extends there is very little doing in the aril
' cle on plantation, some disposition having already
been made of most of it. In the city, for the rea
sons stated in our lust, the market is very heavy,
and in consequence, a larger quantity than usual
“ (this season) has accumulated on the Levee,
’ Sales continue to ho made at rates corresponding
to those quoted, and a majority of holders are vo
" ry firm; though we believe, if it was necessary to
make forced sales, a slight reduction would be the
r result. Havaha Sugars fully maintain former
° rates, but they participate in some degree, in the
’ dullness incident to the times. Cleared this week,
y for Now York 1 hhd. 3 bbU., Charleston 71 hhrls.,
c ' Mobile 160 hhds. 8 bids.
JU'olaties continues to sell as it arrives at the
Levee, at tiro rates previously qiiotod, 41 a 42
• cents per gallon. We hear nothing mentioned
about sales on plantation. Cleared sinrn our Inst,
■ for Charleston 47 bids., Mobile 143 bbls. Apala
chicola 46 bids.
t Flour. —A further improvement has taken place
in the pride of Flour, the sales of the week having
, generally been at $1 50 per bid. This is in eon
‘ sequence of there being latterly it lieltor demand
