MR CLAY’S VISIT TO MH.I.EOGEVIM.E,
Our citizens will soon have the pleasure of seeing
this distinguished statesman. By the ColmnhuB pa
»ors, wo learn that he will enter our State, at that point,
,n the lull of next month, and if so, it is more than
irobable, as he has accepted an invitation to visit Mil-
etlouville, that he will bo hero between the loth and
JOih. Every preparation to give him a warm and cn-
husiastic reception, is now making in Columbus, Ma-
on, and this place, and will be made, at every point ol
,ur Stato where Mr. Clay can conveniently stop to
mend a day or two, and receive the greetings of our
■itizens. A more cordial and a more hearty welcome,
io citizen of the United States has received or will ever
eccive, from Georgians, than will the Kentucky
Statesman, the hope and the pride of the Nation, Hen-
iy Clay. ,.
YVe will embrace then the present opportunity or in-
ritine our fellow-citizens generally, and particularly
those"of the surrounding counties, to be with us on the
occasion of his visit to the seat of government. All
who come, and we hope the different counties will be
presented by their hundreds, will be most welcome.
No point in the State will afford them a better opportu
nity than this to see one whose whole life has been de
voted to the service of his country, and whose fame has
reached everyquarter of thoGlobe. The particular day
of his arrival, as soon as we are notified of it, will be
promptly communicated by hand bills to the citizens of
the adjoining counties, and as it is expected that ho will
remain here at least two or tlirco days, a fine opportu-
nity will be offered all to see him who desire to do so.
Will not the Citizens of Jonee, Putnam, Morgan,
Newton, Jasper, Greene, Wilkinson, Laurens, Han
cock, Washington, and other counties, even further off
than these, be represented here, on the day of Mr. Clay s
reception at their Seat of Government, by large del
cgationsl We hope that they will. Again then, we
say, come one, come all! Let YVhigs and Democrats,
and all who would delight to honor him whose name is
identified with the history of the country for thirty
years past; who, as an orator, stands second to none in
either hemisphere; and whose ability as a statesman
has raised him from being an humble mill boy to a pin
nacle, elevated in the estimation of his countryman;—
let all such come, and greet the PATRIOT with the
welcome which his merit should everywhere com
mand.
The Ladies too, last, though not least, will they not
honor the Cafitol with their presence on the occasion
referred to? But we need not ask this question. We
know that they will, for, with them, Mr. Clay is too
great a favorite, for him to pass through our Stato with
out being greeted with the smiles of the Georgia Fair.
No!—they will not fail to do honor to him whose elo
quence during the last war supplied the American ar;
my with not only food and raiment to support them,
but with powder and lead to protect the liberties of our
country. Whatever men may forget, woman never wil
forget, that while Henry Clay urged war upon our for
eign oppressors, he has twice saved his dearly beloved
country from the horrors of a civil war—yes, he has
twice saved her from a war in which the hand of father
would have been raised against son, and that of the
son against the father. He, therefore, upon whose
brow such laurels are entwined, will ever be a favored
guest of the fair of our State.
The Baldwin County Clay Club*
The proceedings of the first meeting of the Baldwin
County Clay Club, we have the pleasure of inserting
to-day in our paper. We would call the attention of
our readers to it, and particularly to the response which
has been made by the Club to the Whigs of Baltimore,
whose addresB will also be found in our paper.
The next meeting of the Club will be held on Thurs
day night next. It is hoped that there will bo punctua 1
attendance, as arrangements have been made, which
will ensure instruction, bb well as pleasure to all who
do. Let no one therefore be absent! Business too of
importance, we are requested to say, will have to be
transacted.
(LTDcmptey Justice, charged with the murder of the
Penitentiary Guard, and for whoso apprehension the
Governor recently offered a reward of $1;>0, has been
arrested by some oi iho citizens of Randolph county,
and will be, or has been, conveyed to Twiggs county
Jail, from which ho made his escape.
Brown, who was ulso charged with the same murder,
and who made Ihh escape tho same time Justice did,
lias not been heard from.
OIT Ex Gov. Gilmer of Ya. and tho lion. Win. Wil
kins, of Va., have resigned their scats in the House of
Representatives of Congress, The nomination ol the
first a« Secretary of the Navy, and tho latter, as Secre
tary of War, having been confirmed by ‘the Senate. Mr,
Wise has also resigned, and expects to leave for Brazil
about the first of May.
Groat Whig Victory in Maryland.
ManYLAND leads the way. Tho Whigs of that no
ble State have carried everything before them, having
elected their members to Congress in every District.—
Tho Whig gains in some of the districts havo been im
mense. In tho Third Dist., whero the Democrats had
a majority of about 1800 in 1811, tho Whigs have
elected their candidate by a handsome majority—gain,
ing 2300/ In tho Second Dist. the gain was nearly
800. Maryland may be put down to Clay by a large ma
jority. The Baltimore Patriot in reference to this grat
ifying result, has tho following:
“A morn brilliant, a more important, a more encouraging
victory it was not possible to win. and ita mllucnce on the
great contests which will signal the year 1044, can scarcely
beovorrated. It will act like an electric shock uoon the coun
try. It will arouse the glorious enthusiam of the Whigs ev\-
cry where, ami will kindle lip a tiro that will burn brighter
and brighter, ns the contest advances, and will lighten up the
whole hind when tho day for tho final struggle arrives.’’
1 he Chronicle Ac Sentinel.
The Chronicle &. Sentinel hath demolished us—wo
yield, and the Editors “may bear the palm alone !!” We
leel the more disposed thus to confess ourselves, when we
know it to be a/ac/, that, during the past week, speciefundi
have been in this place, in the hands of Agent s to dispose
of, for Central money, to invest in bonds, and that, with
great difficulty, could it be obtained at par. More, specie
funds have been sent from 'Savannah to this place to pro
cure the Central money, as it could not be had there.
Such bcing/ac/s, tho Editors of tho Chronicle &. Sentinel
may lake all the credit they think themselves entitled to,
without excitingenvy in us. We, still think, that Cen
tral money will yet command a premium, and that it ought
to bo atparevery where in Georgia, is beyond question*
The interests though of Brokers requiro its deprecia
tion, and as long as they can keep it down, they will.
A valuable auxiliary to their interests, such articles as
have appeared in the Chronicle & Sentinel,at this par
ticular crisis, will, to some extent at least, undoubtedly
prove. We regret the course of that paper but let it have
what we know we cannot prevent, its own way, and the
laurels it may thus accumulate, we shall not attempt to
snatch from them. For our own part, wc believe in the
efficacy of the action of the last Legislature to restore
Central Money, as a gentleman is just now at our elbow
offering to take Central money at par, in exchange for
specie funds. But this is an every day occurrence here'
and we shall not “multiply” any farther.
Another Rise in Cotton*
Below will be found the accounts from Liverpool, up
to the 3d inst, brought by the steam ship Hibernia,
which reached Boston on the 19th. From the accounts
received, it appears that the excitement about Cotton
in Liverpool was very great. Much had been purchas
ed upon speculation. The Manchester spinners had
become somewhat alarmed, and speak of working less,
rather than paying high prices for cotton—and such
was the state of feeling that a meeting had been called.
The staple continued to rise, however, and a larger
amount had been 6oUl within three weeks than had e-
ver been sold in the same length of time before.
The advance upon the last accounts is ; |d to jd per
pound—still wo doubt,1 if any rise takes place in the
markets in the United States. It will depend pretty
much upon the spirit, and ability of speculators; The
cotton heretofore bought, having been purchased upon
peculation, and indeed nearly at the same prices of the
Liverpool market, ever since the late accounts, it be 1
an to decline. Tho present advices thus far, ir
Charleston, have only reinstated the former hHiest
prices.
At the last accounts, cotton was selling in Savannah
at from 9 to 9j, principal sales 9 to 9^—-In Charleston
8£ to 10 ccnt6, principal sales 9£ — In Augusta 7J to
9J—principal sales 8£ to 9—In Macon, at 7J to 9-—In
Columbus 7J to 9}.
ary congratulation and praiso from the Whigs of tho
whole Union ; and this association, as a component part
ol the Wing party of Georgia, most freely and cordial
ly tender theirs.
Resolved, therefore, unanimously, That this associa
tion tender their cordial congratulations to the gallant
Whigs of Maryland, on tho occasion of their recent sig
nal victory over Locofocoisin, in the election of Whig
Delegates to Congress from every D.strict of tho
State — and (bat lor their noble ellbrls it, the accom
plishment of this gratifying result, they havo entitled
themselves not less to tho admiration and gratitude of
tiio whole Whig Party of the Union.
Resolved, That this association pledge themselves,
(and they think they may with safety pledge tho whole
Whig parly of Georgia) that if zeal, energy and en
thusiasm in tho employment of every effort that free
men may honorably exert, can accomplish the end, they
will emulate tho noblo example of their brethren of
Maryland, and thoroughly redeem their tilato Irum tho
hands of the Destructives.
Resolved, That as the Whigs of Georgia, by tho elec
tion ol a gallant old Whig to the Congress of tho
United States, on the iirst day of the year, thus struck the
first blow of 1841, (a year which the Republicans of
the Union intend to render illustrious by the election
of Henry Clay,) so will they gloriously close the po
litical campaign of the same, on the 1st Monday of No
vember, by tho choice of 10 Whig electors, to cast the
vote of the Slate for him preferred of all men living —
the unrivaled orator, the patriot statesman, Henry Clay
of Kentucky.
Resohcd, That the Corresponding Secretary transmit
a copy of these resolutions to the Whig Ccirral Com
mittee of Maryland, at tho city of Baltimore.
On motion,
Resolved, That members of the Club and others
friendly to tho Association, bo requested to subscribe
such files of newspapers and other publications, ns they
can conveniently spare, to be deposited in the Club
Room, thereby rendering it a resort for the obtainincnt
of useful information upon the absorbing topics which
agitate the country.
Maj. Harris subscribed four files, Dr. Paine, one, Col.
Barnett, two, tin? Journal Office, six ; tho Recorder, six;
Mr. Charles H. Wright, two, Mr. Jeremiah Beall, two,
and Mr. Thomas Fleming, two.
On motion o r Iverson L. Harris, Esq,
Resolved, That our Democratic friends be invited to
attend our meetings at pleasure.
Resolved further, That tlie Club would most gladly
witness tho presence of the ladies of our city and adja
cent country, at our meetings, and we do hereby most
cordially invite them to honor us with their company.
On motion of Mr. Peterson Tliwealt,
Resohcd, That a Standing Committee, consisting of
two from each Company District in the county, be ap
pointed, to obtain the names of such persons as may he
desirous of becoming members of the Club and that
said Committee report at each regular meeting, or in
the recess, to the Recording Secretary.
The President appointed as that Committee, for tho
City District, Messrs. P. Tliweatl and D. M. McDon
ald— fortho Scottsboro’ District,Messrs. 1). R.Tuckor
and John S. Stephens—fortho Salem District, Messrs.

District, Messrs. Appleton Bivins and James Dixon—
for Smith’s District, Messrs, S. P. Myrick and L. J*
Smith—and for Hill’s District, Messrs. Jehu Elgc and
Leonidas L, Smith.
On motion of Col. Barnett,
Resolved, That the Treasurer he authorized and re
quested to purchase 200 copies of the life of the Hon.
Henry Clay, published by Horace Greely, of N. Y. for
the use of the Club, and for distribution.
Col. Grieve, Major Steele, and Walter II. Mitchell
were, on motion, appointed a committee to make ar
rangements for addresses, songs, &c. at the next meet
ing.
Resolved, That the ^proceedings of this meeting be
published in the Wbig papers ol the city.
And the Club adjourned, to meet again on Thursday
evening, the 29th inst. at 7 o’clock.
E. H. PIERCE, Recording Secretary.
It was in 1843, and not in 1842, ns u:,rcd by Mr. B.,
and which was not noticed in the report; and the ticket
nominated at the time of the adoption ol the resolution
was not defeated, as stated by Mr. IL, but elected by
a largo majority.
Again, as to the special elections, he did not say that
the vote was larger than at any foriuci^’election, but
larger than at the time of his co.league (Mr. B.*s) elec
tion.
Tho other remarks of his colleague (Mr. C.) are also
tru-\
i'e was nominated subsequent to the Convention by
the committee as lie has stated. And it is true that
his colleague (Mr. C.) d:d oppose the resolution in com
mittee; and in this way his opinions were made known
to them.
Mr. STEPHENS said he did not intend to intimate
that his colleague (Mr.C.’s) opinions were not Known to
tho members of the committee who nominated him, hut
that he did not think they were generally known to the
country;
CONGRESS.
|CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CHARLESTON COURIER. I
Washington, Feb. 10.
In the House to-day, Mr. Gilmer, of Va., from the
Select Committee to whiah the Massachusetts resolu
tions were referred, and of which Mr. Adams is the
chairman, made a report, on his own behalf, against
the resolutions. It appears that t lie committee passed
a resolution that each member of it should make a re
port of his own views, if lie pleased. The other mem
bers of the committee will follow, with their seperate
reports, at leisure.
Tho interminable debate on the report from tho
Committee on Rules was continued, for one hour, to
Jay, by Mr. Severance.
The House took up the hill fortho relief of the wi
llows and orphans of the officers, seamen, and marines
af the U. S. schr. Grampus, and passed it ; but with an
amendment, confining the provision to orphans and wi
llows, whereas the original bill extended it to brothers
and sisters, in cases where there were no widows or or
phans.
In the Senate, tho bill to settle the title to the Pea-
Patch Island in the River Delaware, was ordered to a
:liird reading.
A petition was presented by Mr, Buchanan from the
widow of the late Commodore Porter, for a pension.
The report of the Committee on Finance, adverse to
tlie hill introduced by .Mr. McDuffie, was taken up, and
Mr. Phelps of Vermont spoke about two hours in sup
port of tho protective system. In reply to the declara
tion of Mr. McDuffie that the tariff of 1813 was a foul
’aid faithless violation of the compromise act, lie un
dertook to shew that the act of 1812 complied, in every
particular, with I he compromise act, except that pro
vision which prohibits the imposition of any higher
duty than twenty per cent, ad valorem, after the 30th
ot* June 1842 ; that tho proper construction of the act is
that no higher duties shall be imposed than twenty
per cent, unless needed for the wants of the govern-
ment; that if the act restricted the duties to twenty
per cent., and prohibited Congress from imposing any
higher duty, it was unconstitutional, null and void, for
it was not in the power of Congress thus to limit legis
lative discretion ; that the act exhausted its purposes
and discharged its functions, and was hence a dead let
ter on the 30th June, lb 12 ; that Congress could make
no law binding, in person or otherwise, on their succes.
sors ; that if they could, flic {Senators from Vermont
were not parties to it, and protested against it; that
the act was in io other sense a compromise than that
in which every act that passes here, on every subject,
is a compromise of opinion, without which the act
could not be passed ; and finally, that he for himself
utterly repudiates any attempt to bind him by the ac
tion of his predecessors, he having come here to act on
this and all subjects free from any restrictions. He
discussed the constitutionality of the protective system,
and contended that Congress had the power to make
tariffs lor protection only, without regard to revenue ;
hut ho was content with a system that, in providing for
the wants of the government, would afford immediate
protection. A Imrizonta I scale of ad valorem duties
was impracticable and absurd, even in relation to re
venue alone. Some articles would bear a much higher
rate of duty than others. The most intelligent free
trade men assented to this. The Senator from South-
Carolina had put the case in a broken light* when he
stated that a duty of forty per ct. would produce no
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

Mr* Chappell and the District System*
In another column will be found a portion of the pro
ceedings of the House of Representatives of Feb. 14th
in which Mr. Chappell attempts to place himself pro
perly before the people, in relation to his course upon
the Congressional district hill. Upon it, several of our
cotemporaries have dwelt with more severity than the
circumstances we think will warrant. Mr. Chappell’s
opinions upon this important subject, it is true, were
not generally known previous to his election, but that
is no fault of his, wo well know—for at the convention
held in the month of June, previous to his nomination, we
were informed of the opinions entertained by this gen
tleman, and with a full knowledge of them, ho was af
terwards nominated to fill a vacancy.
We would much havo preferred that Mr. Ciiapffxl
had pursued a different course. In doing so, he would
have represented the wishes of the Whigs of Georgia,
and his congressional career would have passed away
without any other feeling on the part of them and him
than that of kindly regard. As it is, Mr. Chappell has
been severely reflected upon, and wc but do an act of
sheer justice when we say that it is the fault of the
press, that Mr. Chappell’s opinions were not known
the people, and not his own. Mr. Chappell refused to
place his name to the address of the committee to the
people of Georgia because of its advocacy of the dis
trict law, and, as beforo stated, at tho convention, in
committee, he freely made his views known. It is not
his fault then, that, being elected, he does not repre
sent a large majority of his constituents. To bo can-
did, with the opinions on'ertained by Mr. Chappell, if
they were really objectionable, he ought not to have
been nominated. It is there, that error first was com
mitted.
But, let it not be forgotten that, with this exception,
Mr. Chappell ni >st truly represents tho Whigs of tho
State. For years, has this gentleman been an active
and an able defender of the party to which lie has been
long attached. He was almost the first Whig in the
State to raiso that banner under which we now fight,
—“Clay and the Rank!” lie was foremost in rallying
the Whig Party to the standard of the lamented Harm
son; and on every occasion lie has been ahold and
fearless champion of our cause. If he has committed
ono error, or, if, to use tho language of our chief, the
rifle has snapped but once, it is our duty “to peck the
flint and try it again.**—Let us do an with Mr, Chap
pell, and we feel confident that the balance of his repre
sentative career will reflect honor upon himself and
hose who made him a representative in Congress.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE CLAY CLUB.
Thursday Evening, Fob. 22, 1844.
The Club met in their now Hall pursuant to adjourn
ment, Doctor Charles J. Paine, 1st Vico President,
in tiio Chair.
On motion of Major John II. Steele, Mr. John S.
Wright was unanimously appointed Treasurer of the
Club,
Maj. I. L. Harris being joudly called for, rose and
rosponJed in an address of considerable longth, expos
itory of the object, aim, and end of the association.
The effort was characterised by that lofty patriotism
intellectual vigor and deep and abiding devotion to the
elevated principles of tho great Whig party, for which
the author is so distinguished, and met the hearty ap*
proval of all present, a* was manifested by the repeated
applause and unanimous vote of thanks by the Club.
William B. Tinsley. Esq., having called the atten
tion of the club to the gratifying result of the late
congressional elections in Maryland,offered the follow
ing preamble and resolutions which were enthusiasti
cally received and adopted with not a dissenting voice.
This association has received with the highest
gratification, intelligence of the result of the late con
gressional elections in Maryland—a result ashonorable
to the Whigs of that gallant State, as it is cheering to
their republican brethren throughout the Union.
But two years ago Locofocoism was triumphant in
its misrule over the whole State ; a Democratic. Gover
nor was chosen to preside over her Executive Councils;
a Democratic majority was elected to her General As
sembly *, the city of Baltimore had been so long the
stronghold of Locofocoism, that it was deemed an im
pregnable citadel,and vauntingly styled the “Gibraltar of
Democracy.'’ But now, by the late gallant contest, the
crowning act her of regeneration, tho whole State stands
redeemed. Alter having carried the city at the last
municipal election, (lor the first time in a series of
years) having elected majorities in both branches
of the General Assembly at their last State elect
tho Whigs havo now swept the State of Locofocoism by
the choice of Whig Delegates to Congress in very Dis-
trict in tho State—on the issue boldly procalimed, of
“Henry Clay before nil living men f or tho next Presi
dent of the Republic.’* His proud banner now naves
in triumph over every section of tho State, and Locofo
coism finds no spot of rest on her soil
doubt was a miereport of some remarks made in de
bate by his colleague the day before yesterday—in.
which remarks his (Mr. C’s.) name was introduced.
Th^SPEAKER hero interposed by saying that tho
leave asked by Mr. Chappell required tho general con
sent of the House ; which having been granted,
Mr. CHAPPELL said that the report in the Madi
sonian, to which lie alluded, and to which Ijc called the
attention of the House and of his colleague, purported
to give the remarks made by his colleague (Mr. Black.)
Mr. C. said he happened not to be in his seat during
the discussion between his two colleagues, and conse
quently did not hear what was said. Tho discussion
appeared however, from the report, to have had refer
ence to the proceedings of the Whig Convention in
Georgia, and to the nominating and running of candi
dates by the Whig party, as evidence of what were the
sentiments of the Whig party in Georgia on the con
stitutionality of the districting clause of the appor
tionment law.
[Mr. Chappell here read from the Madisonian tho
report in question, and called the attention of his col
league (Mr.Stephens) to the following part of it :
“Mr. Black said ho would ask his colleague (Mr.
Stephens) if the Whig State Convention had not
nominated tiieir ticket under the general ticket system
and were defeated, although they had acknowledged
the constitutionality of that law. They had succeed
ed, however, in one or two instances, at special elec
tions, in electing two or three representatives.
Mr. Stephens said that the sentiments ho had ex
pressed on this subject tho other day, ho expressed m
that Convention, and they were circulated throughout
the State.
Mr. Black said his other honorable colleague (Mr.
Chappell) was also in that Convention, who was
known to be opposed to the constitutionality of that
law.
Mr. Stephens said Mr. Chappell was in that Con
vention, and he believed that, lie was opposed to the
constitutionally of the law of Congress, but it was not
generally known in tho convention. However, he
would inform his colleague that the vote at the special
election to which he alluded was much greater by
several thousand than at any former election.]
Now, said Mr. C., both my colleague and myself
were members of the Whig Convention of Juno last,
and also members of the committee of twenty-one, rais
ed by that Convention, which committee reported to
the Convention a resolution which was adopted by that
Convention, declaring the constitutionality of the dis-
tricting clause, and denouncing elections under the
general ticket system as unconstitutional and invalid.
It was known to his colleague that he, (Mr. C.) in that
committee strenuously opposed this resolution, and
maintained the unconstitutionality of the districting
clause, and that an election by general ticket would be
valid, notwithstanding that clause.
’i’llis same committee was clothed, bv the Conven
tion, with the authority of nominating'candidates to
fill any vacancies that might occur after the adjournment
of the Convention, in the representation in Congress.—
A vacancy did atterwards occur, by resignation, and
the committee, three weeks before the election, no
minated him, (Mr. C.,) to fill that vacancy, with a fu'l
knowledge of his (Mr. C.*s) sentiments.
His colleague had been previously nominated with
out opposition, by tho Convention itself, to fill another
vacancy which had not then occurred, hut which Boon
afterwards actually occurred.
Thus it will he seen that the nominating bodies, by
which his colleague and himself w orn brought forward
as candidates were different, being the Convention in
the one case and a permanent committee of that Con
dition in tho other case* And it is mainly because
his colleague's remarks, as reported, are liable to tho
uference that Ins (Mr. C.'s) opinions were unknown
to the body by which he (Mr. C.) was nominated, that
he now called his attention to the subject. He is sure
his colleague did not intend to nuthorizo any such in
terface, and that it his remarks had been fully and ac
curately reported, no room would have existed lor such
an inference.
Mr. CHAPPELL made some further remarks ex
pressive of his belief that this question was not con
sidered by tho people of Georgia as involved in the la to
elections, for Congress, viewed by the Whigs of that
State ns a test question of party.
Mr. STEPHENS, in reply, said that there was one
or two slight mistakes in the report to which his col
league had alluded. In reply to his colleague, (Mr.
Black.) ho had saul that his colleague (Mr. C.) was on
tho Committee that reported the resolution mentioned
by Mr. B. And though it was known to that committee
from his opposition to the report of the majority
oil this question, yot he did not believe his sen
timents upon the subject were generally known,
not in the Contention, but in the Stale, before his
election. Another mistake in the report was that
A state of things so gloriously changed, and present
ing an aspect so cheering in every respect for the com-1 he (Mr. S.) corrected his colleague (Mr. B.) as to the
moil cause, demands an expression of inure than ordui-1 Convention in which this resolution had been adopted.
lower rates, because it would promote our commerce.
Here then the Senator abandoned the ground of re
venue, and undertook to protect commerce. The prin
ciple was right, lie would only ask him to extend it a
little further and protect a greater and more important
interest—manufactures — more important because they
would give vigor and cxtentioti to commerce.
At the close of his argument Air. Phelps noticed the
the topics of the tariff and fanatical aggressions on the
south as causes of dissension. As to the doctrine of
protection, he would never abandon it, for without it
we should be reduced to beggary and dependence —
As to the other cause ho deeply regretted it, and spoke
of 6onio “imprudoncies” of his own State, but did not
attach to them any serious importance, lie intimated
that it would bo a very long time, at least, before any
serious difficulty could arise from the opinions held on
that subject.
A fatal duel was fought tiil3 morning at the Chain
Bridge, near this city, between two young gentlemen of
this city, Air. Cochran and Mr. Alay. They fought with
rifles at fifty paces. At the first fire Mr, Cochran was
shot in the top ol tho head, and was not expected to
live through the night.
[CORRESrENDENCE OF THE CHARLESTON COURIER.]
Washington, Feb. 17.
This morning the President, heads of Departments
and Bureaus, and officers of the army and navy visited
the U. S. Steam ship Princeton, by appointment. An
elegant collation was served in the spacious saloon, in*
to which, without loss of room the apartments of tho
officers are thrown. The crew was exercised in all
tiieir evolutions, particularly in the management of the
heavy batteries. One of the officers of tlie General
Post office, was, it is said, stunned by tbc noise of the
Paixhans, and lias lost his hearing in consequence of it.
The ship also display’d! her superiority in sailing, and
proceeded down ns far as Mount Vernon, and returned.
She will make something like eleven miles an hour
with ►team. Everyone professed to he satisfied that
the Princeton is no humbug,
Mr. Giliner resigned his scat in the House, to-day,
by a communication through the Speaker, lie will cu
ter upon the discharge of the duties ol his office on
Monday.
Mr. Cochran, the young man who was shot in a duel
on Friday, is dead. The affair will Afford an opportun
ity for testing the efficiency of tlm ouel law, which
was passed by Congress a few years ago for tins Dis*
trict.
The Senate did not sit to-day.
The House was employed almost exclusively in the
Consideration of private bills.
The morning hour was occupied by Mr. Campbell,
of S. C., in a very able speech on the subject of the
rules of the IIous^. 4 , He showed that the 21st rule ex
cluding abolition potions had been productive of very
favorable results, and had greatly diminished the num
ber of abolition petitions. There were hut very few
petitions of this sort presented now except by tho gen
tleman from Massachusetts and the gentleman from
Ohio—Mr. Adams aniMSIr. Ghidings. He also argued
that it was unconstitutional, illegal, and inexpedient to
abolish slavery in this District.
Air. Burt, of S. C. obtained tho floor, and will speak
on Tuesday next in continuation of the debate.
Wc lonrn from various sources that there is an im
mense amount of smuggling going on tins winter
through Canada into the United States. It is not re
markable that there should be smuggling there, where
it can be done with comparative impunity, when it is j
undertaken by tho regular packet ships in tho harbor
of New York in the face and eyes of the custom house I
officers. This will diminish the revenue, and bring i
down prices very rapidJv.
[from the n. o. ref, 14th inst.]
FROM TEXAS.
By the arrival of the steam packet Neptune, Captain
Rollins, wo have received our files of Texas papers.—
Wc are indebted to Air. Wade, the Clerk for an abund
ant supply of journals.
We copy the following item from the Galveston Ga
zette, of the 10th inst.
Nothing has yet transpired ns to the character of the
despatches recently received from our Curnmisa toners
to Mexico.
Tbc Houston Democrat says : a report has reached
that place, via. Bexar, that all tho Mexican villages
along tho Rio Grande have been illuminated, on ac
count, as is slated, ol an armistice' for ten years hav
ing been agreed upon by the Commissioners of the two
countries. We are not prepared to credit, without bet
ter authority, the reports of the establishment of so long
a truce ; but from the various reports which reach us
all concurring in stating that tho suspension of hostili
ties for some certain period ha* been agreed upon; we
aro led to believe that something of the kind has taken
place.
It 13 bcl eved, that Congress adjourned on Monday
last.
There is a r« port that the hill providing for the pay
ment in part of: be officers and men lately, belonging
to the navy parsed both houses and was veto' d by the
President. Wc should regret very much to find .he re
port true,
At tlie last accounts Congress had literally <ione no
thing, which is perhaps better than to have undone nil
the Work of their predecessors, and substituted nothing
better in its place—which has some resemblance to
•he general course of legislation.
Gen. Murphy, the U. »S. Charge d f Affaires, who has
been in this city for somo months past, left on Thursday
on board the Dayton, for Houston. We understand
•hat liis health is bad, and he hopes to bo hettefilted by a
change of location. He may extend lus visit<o Wash
ington,
Houston, Feb. 7.
Bexar.—Tho latest i ews received from Bexar via
Washington, is to the 24th nit. At that time, I, n at
and a party of umurnuders, held full sway in that sec
There were so few Americans in the city, that
stance was offered to tin in, and they oltcn came
openly into the streets of Bexar. A f w wot ks since, a
party of robbers tame directly into the suburbs ot Bex
ar, and w antonly killed thirty or forty milch cows. Tl» *
trade with the Rio Grande has been completely cutnfl
by these bandits Only one trader ventured into the
city during the last month, and he was robbed of all h.s
property, amounting to about 8”>.900. Many horses
have also boon stolen from the ranches around Bexar —
It is believed that the Mexican i fficers on the Rio
Grande connive at these robberies, and secretly en
courage Leal and his party to commit depredations upon
the citizens of Bexar. Several notorious traitors who
joined tbc Mexican forces during the revolution, arc
s’.il! at Bexar, and openly defy the Texiatt authorities.
The Texas papers aro filled with rumors in relation
to annexation. One of them states that a letter lias
been received from an eminent lawyer in Pli l idelpliia,
dated January 9th, in which it is stated that forty mem
bers o! the United States Senate are in favor o.‘ annexa
tion, and that it was generaMy believed that the mea
sure would be effected in a few weeks either by a trea
ty or by. a joint resolution of both houses. Another
mentions the reception ot information by a respectable
bouse in this city to the oflect that General Thompson
had concluded a triple treaty with Santa Anna, one ol
tho articles of which stipulated that I ho President ot
Mexico should consent to the annexation ol Texas to
the United States, &c.
A joint committee in Congress have reported fa-
vorably upon the conduct of Commodore Moore in the
late controversy between that gentleman and the Pa-
sident.
Seizure of Tfxtan Cotton. — Tho Civilian men-
lions that an American vessel has born seized at the
Sabine with a cargo ol three hundred ball’s Texian cot
ton, and retained tor adjudication for an attempt to
evade the revenue laws by smuggling this cotton into
New Oilcans ns the product of Louisiana. Auo’ber
vessel left tlie J’urt of Sabine a few days since with a
cargo of cotton, without having a clearance at the cus
tom house of the Port of Sabine. Information has
been forwarded to New Orleans which will lead to the
seizure ot tiio vessel and cargo, and if proper proof is
obtained both the vessel and cargo will bo forfeited for an
attempt to violate the revenue laws of the United States.
\\ e entertain no doubt that most of tho cotton was
raised in Texas; hut wu think it will he very difficult
lor the revenue officers of the United States’ to obtain
positive proof of this fact.
!*• E.—Since writing the above, wo have been put
n possession of an extra of tho Houston Telegraph, da-
ted February 0th, from which we extract the pdiowing.
As to the truth of the statement wo can say nothing,
except that tho people of Texas seem to bo hotter in
formed m regard to tbc proceedings of the U. S Senate
than the press in this country : —
“Glorious Aeirs.—Annexation.—We have received
intelligence from sources of unquestionable authority,
that the Senate of the United States Ins almost unan
imously ratified a treaty for the annexation of Texas to
the United States, Tho despatches relating to this
subject havo been forwarded to Washington with all
possible haste in order that if necessary the Senate
may bo convened to ratify the Treaty on t he pari of Tex
as. This will not bo necessary, for our Congress in
secret session, has fully authorized tho President torn-
lily a treaty for this object immediately. This nows
•nay seem too good to be true, but wc have derived it
from lelteis written by intelligent gentlemen in the
capitol of tiio United Stales, and we place full reliance
in its authenticity.”
