Her object was according to the ctlston of the Chinooks, lo notify her friends that •he was ready to receive the addresses of any one who was in want uf a wife. The widow was of masculine make, and what we Would call a buxom dame.

Every half hour they would arrange themselves in a row, and tho widow ■t their head, affecting a modest downcast look, Would commence a cliaunt, informing the bvsland. ort that her period of mourning wns out, that v she had forgotten her deceased husband, given Iter grief lo the winds, and was new ready to espouse another. This cliaunt was accompanied by n small movement of the feet and body, which, with the guttural song and consequent excitement of such an exhibition, caused the fair ones to wax so warm that the perspiration rolled dowr. their painted Chee'.ta; litis, with the crimson flush, all tended to add brilliancy to their dark eyes, as they were now and then cast around upon the multitude »f Indi ans, who seemed nil admiration. tofore?

If 4hetv ever design lo abandon the clumsey old fash Ivaed round bale system, now is the time to be pro viding themselves with screws for the coining crop. Wa learn that the merchants of Savannah urede- 4armined, after the example of the merchants of Maw Orleaaa, Mobile, and Charleston, to drive the Mrlnd bales from their market; audio elfect this desirable result, they will make' such discrimination In price as will force the planter to the adoption of III* square bales. There is no mode of calculating the loss that has accrued to the planters p! Geor- fto, aud the city of Savannah in consequence of UM inveterate persistence in this very bad habit.— A very large trade with Havre and other French narkota is almost entirely cut ofl*—and hundreds •f foreign ships which would much prefer the safe and commodious port oi Savannah, could they re. eaive Cotton in square bags, for the reason alone, that round bale* abound there, give Savannah the go by, nud give the preference to Charleston or Mobile. This consideration alone diminishes com. petition, and as a necessary consequence, brings gowu prices,and if persisted in, the market of Su- vauuah must be a losing one for the sale of Cotton.

New Post Office.—Amid the numerous diffi culties wltich present themselves io the execution of the post office law, the want of ao adequate compensation to the deputy postmaster* i* not the least. The compensation allowed by the old Inw was a certain per centum (from 30 per cent, to as low as 8 jter cent.) ou the proceeds of each office, together with the franking privilege, waia very in adequate compensation for their laborious and im portant service*. Perhaps no class of officers in tlie government rendered so much service for so imali a compensation. The new law made no al. teraiion in their compensation, unless it was done in the clauses making .appropriation* for the ser vice of the department. Congress foresaw (lint there would be a great falling ofT in the revenues of the department, and u corresponding diminution in the compensation of the postmasters; and made general appropriations, so us to give the depart ment (hesumeuinount of money that had been ex pended during the last year. Tho question was soon presenled to the Postmaster General, whether any of the money thus appropriated could he ap plied to the payment of postmasters and their clerks, as o'ner revenues of the department ? and if ao, how much was lobe paid? 'The Postmaster Gen ernl very properly submitted the question to the Attorney General, and we are gratified to huve it ill our power to lay before (Ire public the clear and forcible exposition given by that officer of the law wltich we think will be satisfactory to the public The Postmaster General yesterday acted upon the opinion of the Attorney General, which he was satisfied was the true construction of the law; and ordered that the deputy postmasters be paid, live ensuing year, the same compensation which they bad received during the last year.

All the material points ou which the two politi co ) pnrties of the country huve diflered with regard lo the administration of President Jackson, and on wl licit they ever diifer, were elaborately discussed la tfore the audience; nnd as u matter uf course, g real credit was awarded to the wisdom, foresight, u nd patriotism uf tlie great actor in the drama—no milter by what means—wltut usurpations of au thority, or outrages against tlie known will of n majority uf the people, or violations oftlie Const i tution, his dictations were attained. A more de cided parly speech was never delivered in Mucon, than wus one half of tlnit inflicted on the audience, assembled without respect lo party, to listen to a In neral eulogy by D. C. Campbell.

No Volunteer in iiis Uniform, or Mason, or Odd Fellow in his Rrgaliu, went there for that. We have lienrd but one sentiment, botli from Wiiigs and Democrats, with regard to this most unjustifiable and uiicourlcous proceed, ings—and wliul lliut is, we trust he cun take the hint without further remark.

Hall McAllister—John Quincy Adams’ District Attorney.—Nothing cun exceed the reck lessttess of the su cnlled Democratic leaders. It is tlie every day practice to hear them indulge in speeches highly derogatory to the intelligence and independence of the people. For iuslunce, we hear it often snid, “the people have, not been told who to vote for yet,” ns though the people were a bund of serfs nnd hirelings, und these would-be leaders were their masters, it lias come to that, t .hat tnese overseers think the people must and shall obey them. It mailers not, tiiey vainly conclude, what thc_/!/nes* of the candidate is—the people will . aupport him if they arc told to do it. Now this contompt of public opinion is manifest t id in tho nomination of M. Halt McAllister. Not t hat there is any moral or personal objection to i lint: but by his acceptance of the office of Dis t riel Attorney from John Q. Adams, and thereby p lacing ‘himself in nn altitude hostile to Georgia a nd Iter citizens—lending himself us art instrument tt i convict and punish them only becuuse they do st red lo occupy their own territory, renders him tt nfit to be entrusted with rbe first office in the 8 late. Mr. Habersham received the same office from H Ir. Monroe—he continued to hold it under Mr. A .dams until tlie contest arose concerning our ln- d inn territory, lie then promptly resigned it. 1 And what true souled Georgian would not? Did I Jubt-rshum do right ? Thai is the question. If I le did—then M. Hail McAllister did wrong in ac- i :epiing it. Mr. M. H.tll McAllister, in ft is letter of acceptance of iiis iioininution for Governor, talks about -recommitting the flag of Georgia unstained by dishonor."—Weli, all this may he true—we : can’t say. But one tiling wo do know. When [ Georgia unfolded tins same banner und planted it ' on her own territory, and defied the millions of fed eral authority, its folds did not flutter above his head. His Hands were not then found uphold ing it. Notwithstanding this dereliction—notwithstand ing this faithlessness, the dictators recklessly put hint forth as a candidate for an office of high re sponsibility and madly defy tlie torrent of public opinion. These leaders seek to reverse tho rule of the gospel which declares “well done faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over n few things. 1 will make tliee ruler over many things." Mr. McAllister having been unfaithful over a few, he is now considered worthy of being made ruler over many.—Marietta Helicon. A London correspondent of the Boston Atlas, writing under date oTtlie 18th ultimo, says :— A somewhat singular scene took place in the House ot Commons, on Monday evening, between Mr. Roebuck and Mr. Somers, which grew out of a challenge sent hy the latter member to Mr. Roe buck, lo fight a duel, for offensive language he had used in a speech on a previous occasion. Mr. Roe buck read a letter lo the House, from Mr. Sumers, in which that gentleman asked Mr. Roebuck if lie uckuowlegcd the words attributed to him by tlie jourttuls, viz : “that those tv ho follow such a lead er as Mr. O’Connell, deserve little respect, either for their position or their intellect;” and if lie did acknowledge these words, ‘was lie prepared toju*- tify them according to the Itttvs of chivalry V Mr. Roebuck informed the House that he had replied to the letter, declining lo abide hy “ the laws of chivalry,” and he moved that Mr. Somers having sent u challenge to a member of that House, for wotdsspoken by that member in his place in Par liament, had been guilty of a contempt and breach of the privileges of the House. Lord Ashley seconded the motion, remarking that Mr. Roebuck was entitled to the thanks of a large proportion of Iiis fellow subjects, who louk with horror and disgust to tlie prevalence of this misculled law of honor. In the name of the mem bers of the House, and the gentlemen of England, Lord Ashley tendered lo Mr. Roebuck sincere thanks for the manly course, and the constitutional course, which in this instance he had pursued. Mr. Somers then rose to withdraw tlie offensive letter, aud make a full apology to Mr. Roebuck. 8ir Robert Peel then complimented Mr. Roebuck on the course wltich he hud taken, and said it tvns one of true courage, und one which every gentleman ought to take. Several members spuke on the subject; after which Mr. Roebuck withdrew his motion, nnd the subject dropped. It is to be hoped that tlie turn litis uffair has taken, in so higit a quarter as the Britislt Parliament, and sanctioned too, hy tlie Premier of Great Britain, will have the tffeet to render duelling unpopular and utifasliionu- hle, nnd utterly derogatory lo the character of a gentleman.

A Quaker Marriage.—A correspondent of tho Zion’s Herald gives the following description of a wedding nl the Friends' nieeting.house in New Bedford. The parties were Dr. Benjamin F. Hur. dy and Miss SurultCoggleslmll. The hour appointed was eleven in the forenoon. At lliut hour a lurge ussembly convened within the walls of a pluiu, but somewhat ancient edifice. Af ter the lapse of a few minutes, tho bride nod bride groom, attended by their friends and the elders of church, made llteir appeurance and settled them, solves, according to tlie usages oftlie society, Tlte bride aud^iridegroom, with the elders of the church, sat on a platform facing ttic audience, while the friends of the parties sat immediately before them. The dress nf tlie young couple, though rich, wns plain ; and their deportment and manner grave, as became the followers of Penn and Fox. I wns never so struck with the marriage ceremony in my life before ; nor did I see a smile of levity in tlie whale assembly. After sitting in ailence fifteen or twenty minutes, au uged muu, probably the luudcr uf the meeting— arose and made a few sensible remarks un the gen eral importance of covenant keeping ; after which tlie bride and bridegroom joined bands and each in an audible voice premised to be faithful to each other till death should tepuriite them. They then severally signed a printed covenant, on parchment. I believe; Hfter which (lie covenant wns read in tlie hearing uf the meeting. It was read by the veiierulilo Mr. Sherman, tlte oldest printer of a newspaper in New Bedford. The audience were now invited to repair to a central part uf the house, where a table being placed, the covenant was laid on it, and those whu were willing to do so, appended llteir names to ilas witnesses. Tlte ceremony of w itnessing the cove nant was long and somewhat tedious, but neverthe less interesting. The company began lo leave the house in silence before half the name* were insert ed. THE SAVANNAH GEORGIAN. We will, in answering the Georgian’s article of the 11 tli inst., pasa by those passages of it which refer Is ourself, as unworthy of farther notice than wohavtil- ready given it, and show to our reader! upon wliili slender thread it hangs its defence of Mr. McAJliittr. We will do so as briefly as we can, but musfcask tbe read er’s patience, if, in placing the eubject mailer of de pute fairly before hint, we occupy too much ofhlitioe, and too much of our columns. Our apology for it trill be found iti the Georgian’s lengthy article, writln.il, does seem, to mystify, where, to defeud, was failure. 1 The Georgian admits that “wherever Mr. McAllio*., ter is politically vulnerable, the people ought le Ins* it.” We are glad of Ibis, for, i» it* previous article, one would have supposed from it* teas, that Ur. fit Alltster was immaculate,and that to assail his politial life, or any part of it, tvas to-trespass upon hie, or ike Georgian’s claim, to invulnerability.
