A'4®lß TfIURS IX9 Y MO RjYWG, OCT. 9.1893. * By the ship Chancellor, rapt. Bradley, 4 days •from New-York, we have received the papers of that city up to the 2d inst. inclusive. By these papers English dates are furnished to the Ist Sep tember. The following is the result of the election in this County: For representatives to the Stale legislature, <5. W. Owens, Senator —M. Myers, T. Barnard, and John Millen, representatives —elected with out opposition. For Member# of Congress, JAMES M. WAYNE, 344 GEORGE R. GILMER, 209 T. U. P- CHARLTON, 207 RICHARD H. WILDE, 206 DANIEL BRAILSFORD, 205 WILEY THOMPSON, 149 THOMAS F. FOSTER 145 JAMES MERRIWEATHER, 135 CHARLES E. HAYNES, 131 JOHN A. CUTHBERT, 103 WILLIAM TRIPLETT; 53 CHARLES WILLIAMSON, 35 WILSON LUMPKIN, 28 The annual election which has just closed in this state, has not for many reasons, been so ■warmly contested, as those which have for a long time preceded it. The unanimity which prevails in regard to the presidential question, has had a tendency to allay in a great the violence of party feeling on other subjects. The materials of the two great parties which ‘have so long agitated the state, still exist; proba bly in their former relative strength. But the singular circumstances of the times, which have arrayed them both under the same flag; and tho bitterly hostile to each other, yet obliged them to tight in the same ranks, side by side, for the same objects, has in some instances, so confused the ideas of the belligerents, as nearly to obliterate the ancient landmarks at many points, and to raise a doubt in the minds of some, as to the par ty to which they belong. Yet this state ofthing3 it cannot reasonably be expected, will much longer continue. As soon as the presidential question is decided, public opinion and public feeling, will resume their former channels. The party now in power, will endeavor to perpetuate that power, by efforts to fill every post under their patronage with their own partizans and friends- And to do this, many of the present faithful ser vants of the public must be removed from office. Our whole judiciary, jjudges, solicitors, &c. are to be elected this year. The present incumbents ■were elected in 1825, under the dominance of the other party; and as they are highly esteemed by the people, nothing could produce a greater ex- j citeinent, than the expulsion of them from office, 1 for the puposc of making room for some political dependaut. At the present moment it is uncertain which ‘'party will have the mastery in the next legisla ture. And whatever may be the state of feeling abroad among the people at large, there is no • doubt of the fact, that the dividing lines between • the two parties will become sufficiently obvious when the interests of party come to be contras ted with the interests of the people in the repre sentative halls at Milledgeville. Fire! —A fire broke out on Monday morning last, about 4 o’clock, in the large brick building on the corner of Jefferson st. and the Bay, known as the Washington Hall, and occupied by J. C. Fittzpa 4rick, as a public hotel; and notwithstanding the great activity of the firemen, the building was en tirely consumed before the flames could be got under. A negro man belonging to Mrs. Woolhopter, was killed by the falling of a portion of the wall, .and three others badly injured. Engine No. 5 was also crushed by the same accident. The fire is supposed to have commenced in one of the lower store rooms, in the Northeast corner ©f the building ; which was unoccupied. The property was owned by the State Bank of Georgia, and was insured at the Charleston Ma rine and Fire Insurance Company. The Hon. Martin Van Bueren has been nomi nated as Governor, and Judge Throop as Lieut. Governor, of the state of New-York, by a con vention of the friends of Gen, Jackson, held at Herkimer. Miched Esperance Hersant, eleve vice consul attached to the Consulate General of France, wffio has been appointed to take charge of the Consu late of France ft r the port of New-York and its dependencies, has been recognised in that capa city by the President of the Lnited States. Scarcity of four. —We are credibly informed that there were not for sale on Tuosday last in this ‘town, ten barrels of four. To what the scarcity is attributable we know not. Several cargoes ar rived yesterday. — Pror. Journal. Light House , St. Johns. —We are informed that the Government decline building the light house at St. Johns until a title to the land can bo obtain ed ; but the proposed site being on land the title to which is litigated, and which will take some time to determine, there can be no hopes of the light’s being established. The horrid and barbarous practice of punish ment on the wheel, has not yet been altogether abolished in Germany. The prison at Tilsit has lately been destroyed by fire. Many of the prisoners were destroyed also. Os the prisoners rescued, those under sen tence of death seemed the most devoutly thankful tG Proridonce for their escape. “Morgan Indictments.— The indictment which was found against Win. Hotchkiss, for a misde meanor, d^c.‘By the Grand Jury of this county, at the May term f the General Sessions of the Peace, has been quashed by the Court held here last week, for an error as to the date of the offence in the principal count of the indictment. A nolle prosequi was subsequently entered by the Dis trict Attorney as to the remaining counts. A'iagara Courier. : Torture at Lisbon. —A gmtleman wh© has just arrived from Lisbon, visited the prison previously to his departure, when one of the prisoners in formed him that he had not been able to get any sleep for three nights, on account of the dreadful screams heard at different periods of the nfoht, supposed to proceed from prisoners under torture, w order to induce them to ooufe*j- % Weio English Settlement.—A new colony is about to be established bv the British Govern ment, on Swan River, in the Island of New Hol land. In point of climate, soil, A.c the site ofthe new establishment is said to hold out great in ducements to European settlers. By the coasters from the east end of Long- Island, say 6 the New-York Commercial Adverti ser of Friday, we learn that the Buenos Ayr-ean j squadron, commanded by Com.'Fournier, having obtained provisions, water, 4*c- sailed from Fort Pond Bay, about ten days since, on a cruise.— Capt. Clarke, commander of the brig Gov. Dirago, and his surgeon, quitted the squadron previous to their sailing. Murder. —From a variety of circumstances, the public have strong reasons to believe that George Swearingen, Sheriff of Washington co. Mary land, murdered his wife, near Cresaptown, Alle gany co. on Monday the Bth inst. A coroner’s in quest was held over the body (it having been dis interred for that purpose) of the deceased, which was in session from Thursday the 11th inst until Wednesday night following, when a verdict was rendered which is as follows —•“ That after a care ful and full examination of witnesses, they the (jurymen) are of opinion, that Mary C. Swearin gen came to her death by the hands of her hus band, George Swearingen.” Swearingen has fled, and it is supposed has gone to Virginia. The sheriff of Allegany county, with some other gentlemen, has gone in pursuit of him.— Cumberland , Va. Advocate of Sept. 20. Greenfield, Sept. 23. Accident. —On Saturday last, as Mr. David Wait, 2d, of this town, was in the act of driving his team into the Ferry boat a few rods below where Connecticut river ’Bridge stood, between this place and Montague, the rope with which the boat was fastened broke, and the boat suddenly left the shore, whilst the horses only had entered, and they being attached to the load, the boat fill ed and sank about six rods from the shore. The horses, four in number, were all drowned. The wagon was freighted with 91 firkins of butter, 700 lbs. cheese, and 800 lbs. tallow. The butter and tallow were principally saved ; the cheese mostly lost. The horses were valuable for the purpose for which they were used, and it is a heavy loss to Mr. Wait, who is an enterprising and industiious young man. A fair estimate of the whole loss is about SSOO. We are happy to state that no lives were lost — Herald. St. Louis, (Missouri,) Sept. 9. JVeic Arrangement of the Army. —We undei ; stand that orders were received at Jefferson Bar racks, during the past week, from Head Quarters, for the immediate detachment of eight compa nies of the sth Regiment to occupy the following posts, viz : Two companies to be stationed at Fort Brady, Sault de St. Mary, four companies at Fort Howard, Green Bay, and two at Fort Dearborn, Chicago. We also understand, that two companies of tJ.e 2nd Regiment hv boon ordered to Fort Niagara ; i two companies to Fort Gratiot, Mac kin a; and that 8 other companies of the same Regiment arc to be distributed in Maine. Four companies of the Ist Regiment have been ordered to Fort Snelling ; Four to Fort Craw ford, Prairi-des-Chiens ; and lw T o to Fort Winne ! bago. i We have no means of ascertaining the causes 1 which have led to this new disposition of the Ar -1 my, and occupation of abandoned posts. We are inclined to the belief, which we have heard ex j pressed in other quarters, that it is intended to prevent the execution of any attempts to smug s gle English manufactured goods into the United S States, by way of Canada, after the provisions of : the Tariff law of the last session have taken ef fect. The opinion derives plausibility from the intelligence brought by the last arrival from Liv- : erpool. [By the Chancellor .] New-York, Oct. 2 The LT.

It will be recollected that this vessel is intended to be employed by government on a voyage of discovery. —A*. Y.

From St. Bartholomews. —By the schooner Leonora, Parrish, at Baltimore, from St. Bar tholomewss, the editors of the Commercial Chronicle have received from their attentive Correspondent, a Price Current, Shipping List, and other items of intelligence, to the 6th inst. and a St. Kitts paper of the 23th ult.— lb: Their correspondent informs, that they have advices of the probability of Sweden’s opening the Island of St. Barts to such privateers as may have legal commissions, to enter, for the purpose of repairing, fyc. a privilege which at present is not permitted them. The markets were on the rise, and ranged as per quotation. “ A most attrocious act of piracy, says a letter from their correspondent of the 3d inst. has been lately committed on a brig from Liverpool, which was captured, and the crew and passenger, (among whom was a lady and some children) all supposed to have been murdered. The brig, I understand, is at St. Eustatia, and has commen ced discharging her cargo.” i From the New York Courier of •he Ist October. LATEST FROM EUROPE. By (he arrival yesterday of the packet ship Florida, capt. Tinkham, from Liver pool, whence she sailed Ist September, we have received our regular files of London ! papers from 25th to 31st August; Liverpool from 26th August to Ist Sept and Glasgow j and Greenock from 22d to 30th August— ! with Lloyd’s and Shipping Lists to 30h, all inclusive.

The Russians have been repulsed from Chumla, alter nine days hard fightings with a loss ol 40,0 )0 men in killed ami wounded. The London Standard, (a Ministerial pa per) says that this account has received gen eral credit, and that it is confidently assert ed, that the English -government has re ceived advices of the event The Turks had 10,000 cavalry in the field Chumla, then, is not yet taken, and Varna is still ic the hands of the Turk. It seems that the Sultan has neither been playing the fool nor the braggart for the last three months; for, instead of 60,000 infantry, he has 200,000, and instead of 10,000 cavalry, he has 30,000. Fhe Turkish accounts state that in thecamp of Chumla alone there are 500 pieces of cannon, well served. The foundry ofKophana has not been idle Information has reached Paris that the Russians have also been twice repulsed from Varna. The Russian bulletins say nothing of these events— they are onlv framed fur the purpose of celebrating the triumphs of she Czar, not of recording his defeats, if we believe the Russian, there reason why we should disbelieve the I urk. The character of the latter for rcrautij is Hilty equal to that of the former With these remarks we introduce the TURKISH BULLETIN. Constantinople , July 26—The hopes which the Porte had conceived that its po sition on the northern side of the Balkan would form a bulwark against the Russian armies, has been nearly justified by a series of successful engagements fought since the beginning of .July. It appeared' that the Russian commanders had not collected im posing forces upon any particular point, but lust much time in partial attacks, which having been frequently repelled by the Turks, inspired the latter with great addi tional courage, and confirmed the Porte in the system of operations w hich it had adopt ed. The first Bulletin, from the Turkish head-quarters arrived here on the 12th. It announced an attack made by the Turks on the position of Hadschid Oglou Razard chik, between Chuumla and Varnai and their defeat, after a loss of 1,500 men The day after, says the bulletin, the attack was renewed, and repulsed as before, chiefly through the courageous defence of the regu lar troops The Russians lost, in this se cond action many men, and six pieces of cannon. The same day a very sharp encounter took place between a Russian corps of a hout 15,000 men with, 20 pieces of can non, and the Turks stationed at Moldavia, opposite VV iddin on the left bank of the Danube. The Russians, after an obsti nate at; ion of of five hours, were repulsed; and lost on that occasion 2,600 men in kill ed, wounded, and a great number taken prisoners. They were even pursued to a considerable distance in the VVallachia ter ritory by a column which debouched from Kialifat. On the 10th, a Russian corps of 4,000 cavalry, and from 4 to 5,000 infantry was defeated by Alisch Pacha at Taschilopet and lost about 600 horsemen, who were killed and seme prisoners, among whom was a staff officer From the 10th to the l6fh, there were several conflicts less favorable to the Turk’. Here there is a chasm in the communica tion made by the Porto, Which leads at once to some skirmishes which occurred in the environs of Varna, and a short distance ! from Choumla. | On the ]sth, 16th,and 17th,the Russians tiir.dfe cvrr*i HYtaeka on the Turkish posi tions near Varna. They had succeeded iin approaching that town, hut the arrival ofthe Captain Pacha with considerable reinforcements,compelled them to fall back. On this occasion they are said to have bad a Colonel taken prisoner, on whom impor tant papers were found. Yesterday several couriers arrived from the head-quarters of Houssein Pacha at Choumla, and from the Captatn Pacha at Varna. These despatches announce vic tories. The following is their substance ; “ The R issians had approached within a league and a half of Varna, and had at tacked the Captain Pacha on tha 20th,with [ considerable forces ; but were repulsed, after an obstinate conflict of twelve hour3,, after experiencing severe losses Meha ; mad P acha was even preparing to attack them the next day in their positions, but i they had quitted during the night, and fal len back a whole league. During this event the division of the Russian fleet had attempted to effect a lan ding at Varna, hut had been repulsed by the Turkish batieries, the fire of which had damaged several transports. An attack made the same day by the Russians on the position of Chou nla, had not a more fa vourable result. . They were beaten off aftei losing 2,000 killed and many prison ers. Such is the substance ofthe Turkish Bulletins. On tlie Danube the Russians have been more successful General Roth having in vested Silis-riaon the 21st July. Letteis from Vienna, received in Paris, announce ihat the Russian troops were preparing to blockade Chumla As that blockade must last at least two months, we may consider the campaign as terminated the/Russians will not get to Constantinople this year.— Gaz. de l'raacc.

The following extract of a letter from an intelligent American nowat Rio de Janeiro will be read with interest It is dated * Rio de Jan; iro Ang 6. —The packet from Buenos Ayres arrived yesterday, and brings the Commissioners. Their orders are to make peace if Brazil will consent to abandon all pretensions to the Banda Ori ental, and not otherwise—There is no ‘fmxfr Ability of the government’s assenting to these terms, until some heavy disaster may occur to it. The general opinion is that there will not be a peace for several months. 1 he Buenos Ayrean Government have again a large naval force— report savs 21 vessels of ail kinds—and Admiral Brown has promised to raise the blockade in six weeks. As yet, Mr. Tudor has not done ‘any thing. Instead of the fulfilment of Mr Rebellows assurances he gets nothing butfair promises aud courteous evasions. Mr. Gor don, the British Minister, sailed lor England yesterday, in the Heron sloooofwar. He is appointed to Madrid, and Lord Ponson is expected from B. Ayres, to take his offi ciai station near this Government. He ex pressed himself ns much relieved by dosing his functions, and that he was not able to settle any question at issue with this Gov I ernmeut. The French Government have a large naval torce here sent out with great flourishing, in order to settle the question of captures by the blockading squadron. So loud were the threats, and so determin; ed was (hat Government said to be to use force, if reason failed, to obtain justice for the subjects ofFrance, that it was believed at first by all here I Government and peo plej : and under that impression the basis of *n arrangement on the subject was agreed to. After a few conferences with the French diplomatists, this Government, with a tact peculiar to these people, ascertained ihat the French Admiral had no authority to use force in any event They began first to shuffle, and finally have involved the mat ter in such difficulty as to annul the ar ranged basis There is no way to treat with effect with this Government but that resorted to in questions with the Dey of Algiers.” -Extract of a letter received at the Norfolk Beacon News Room, dated Lagu:ra, 24th Aug 1828 “ Since I handed you the act of the dif ferent Cabildos of Bogota, Valencia, and Caraccas, proclaiming Gen. Bolivar Su preme Chief of Columbia, the same act has j been followed up, by the various smaller ! cities and towns as lar as any information | has reached this place. This act therefore : may be considered as emanatiug generally from all parts ot Colombia. But a few weeks had el.ipsed alter this ! movement, when Gen. Bolivar issued a • proclamation ordering the army of the south i to march to the confines of Peru ; that he t should follow soon after, and that his arri val would be “ the signal lor combat.”— The movements of Peru for some months, have been such as to indicate a spirit of hos tility to the Bolivian Code left there by Gen. Bolivar, and to those men left there I in command in civil and military capacities. General Sucre ilie hero of Ayacbuco) left Supreme Chief of Bolivia, in a review of troops, was fired on and wounded, and it is said it has caused him to lose one of his arms ; he made a capitulation, and has re quested Colombia to send him a vessel of war to return to Guayaquil, on his way to Bogota. It is these disturbances that have occasioned the movements of the Southern troops of this Government and the procla mation of Gen. Bolivar. Ido not think this measure meets with the views of the best informed of this part of Colombia, be- lieving the internal dissensions of this coun try require all the time, talents and money that it has to right its own situation. This department is so far removed from the scene that its effects do not reach it, and the fact of declaring General Bolivar Supreme Chief publi* ‘y is the only circumstance that has produced any particular sensation, resulting I think satisfactorily, i The Ocana Convention is absolutely dis solved. Two members from the city of Caraccas are ordered out of the country, Mr. Iribaren and Mr. Martin Tovar.— The first may be expected here to-day from Caiaccas to embark, the latter has not ar rived at home, and report says he has al ready left the country without returning home from tha Convention. This peremp tory measure has been adopted by Gen. Bolivar, it is said for the free *om efspee h with which they indulged in at Ocana.— The first of these men is a discontented in dividual. The latter an old man with a large family, of the most respectabie con nexions in Caraccas, and wealthy. By a request of Bolivar to Gen. Paez, a hunt a or meeting ofthe citizens of Carac cas of the best informed has been called and assembled to take -into consideration tho statu of Venezuela, and to suggest such improvements or measures as may, in their opinion, tend to the benefit of the public, and relieve the various interests of this de partment Our markets are pretty good for Ameri can provisions in small cargoes and well as sorted.

Duty free for all kinds of grain till the 6th October. We have already published a Circular from the Secretary of the Treasury, and in our columns of to-day will be found another adressed, in August, to the Collectors on the Canada Line. The late avowals in the British House of Commons, by speakers high in name, (if the newspapers have cor rectly reported what they said ) that British merchandize would inevitably find its way to the U. States, our Tariff notwithstand ing, are somewhat remarkable. We can not suppose that these speakers wish what they so confidently predict. To do so, would be to arraign their characters as mo ral agents, heretofore free as far as we know from such reproach. Y r et, their benignant denunciations ot our Tariff half force upon us the suspicion that their regrets would not be very keen, if such a state of things shou and, perad venture, come to pass. From the Circular now published, we may infer that the Administration is not likely to fall asleep under these predictions of our friends across the Atlantic, who seem so so anxious that we should be saved, one | other, from the enemies of the Tar iff. For ourselves, w hatever our specula tive opinions of the policy of this law, we can hardly wish to see it prostrated by smuggling from abroad, any more than by i throwing open our ports at home.— [Nat \ ltd. [Circular 1© all the Collectors of the Inland Fron tier on the Cttnads Line] Treasury Department , Aug. 27th 1828. ktr: The great extent of the Inland and water frontier along the Canada line, and the facilities thereby afforded for the illicit inttoduction of foreign merchandise, make it necessary that the greatest attention should be paid to the due execution of the revenue laws in that quarter. This letter is therefore, by direction of the President, addressed to you with a view to excite your most active vigilance upon this subject ; which is the more especially required since the passage of the act of the 19th ot May last, increasing in several im portant particulars, the former rate of duties on imported merchandise. A further object of it is to say, that should one oi more additional Inspectors be, in your opinion, necessary within your district, in order to ensure a faithful execu tion of the act above mentioned you will make report to me accordingly, stating the points at which you may deem tlicu at* cei> . sary to he stationed. * This intimation is not given to oncon age, in any degree, an increase of S ul, ( , r ’ ainate officers where it can be avoided, ; , n ,j | above all, where it can he avoided f increased activity and vigilance on the n, /!

Treasury Department, Comptrollers Office ) September 2Sth, lb2B ( Gentlemen —The rule by which the dy. liable charges in the case of woollen go o( j s liable to duty on a minimum value, and i n the case of cotton cloths in determining whether they cost less than 35 cents square yard, having been prescribed i D a letter of yesterday, to the Collector 0 f Charleston, I enclose a copy of it as an ar. swer to your’s of the 20tli inst. I will merely add, with a view of answering your letter more fully, that wheu the dutiable charges aro added!! in the ce<e of cotton cloths, to determine whether such cost, with the usual 19 or 20 per cent, (as the case may) be less than 35 eents the square yard, and the cost with the du. tiable charges, are not also to he added to the minimum of 35 cents the square yard as would seem to be contended for by the Custom House, and the duty he computed on the aggregrate amount thus produced, but the duty is to to be exacted on the 35 cents simply.—Respectfully, ROBERT ANDERSON, Comptroller. Sir ;—ln reply to the question sub mitted in your letter of the fifteenth ult. I have to s‘ate that, in all case* in which the duties on woollen books are to be enac ted, on a minimum value, the dutia ble charges as in other cases, are to be added to the invoice value, and this aggre gate amount must determine the minimum on which the duty is to the computed. The same principle is to govern in de terminig whether cotton cloths 35 rents, per square yard, but in the latter case the usual 10 o; 20 per cent, (as the case may be) is also to he added to the invoice value and if this aggregate amount be less than 35 cents the square yard, the duty is to be estimated as if the goods had cost 35 the square yard ; but if such aggregate amount be more than that sum per square yard then the duty as estimated on that amount what rver it may be.—Rpspectfully, • JOS. ANDERSON, Comptroller. Capture of Fugitive Convicts.—Wo published, a few days ago the escape of two abandoned villains from Sing Sing; we have now the satisfaction of stating that they ate both taken, and were yesterday sufelv lodg ed in their old quarters, with the comforta ble appendages of double irons. It ap pears that Hays, on Sunday, received some intelligence concerning them, and accom panied by his son and Mr. Homans, lie proceeded to a house in Anthony-street, and in the garret discovered W illiams, arm ed with a large butcher’s knife, which was sharp and very pointed The villain pat himself in an attitudue of defence, but flays took advantage of a false position, rushed upon his victim and in an instant succeeded in disarming him, receiving in the scuffle oulv a slight cut upon his right hand thumb. The other was arrested un der rather novel circumstances. A re spectably attired and rather genteel looking person went to the store of Mr. Brown, jeweller and watchmaker, in Franklin square, and purchased a watch and some articles of jewelry, to the amount of $175 ordering the bill to be made out in the name of Mr Armstrong, and with the goods to be sent immediately to the boa-ding house, Mrs. Buckley’s Pearl-st. would pay for the same. Mr. Bra;.‘l |) | stead of sending one, took the preu of giving the purchased articles in\ care of two of his young men, ants ‘iiey forthwith departed on their embassy in the course of which they perceived they were followed by Mr Armstrong. As soon as they reached Mrs. Buckley’s an enquiry was made but no such person resided there. “Yes he does” said one of the young men pointing to Armstrong, “ and that’s the gentleman on the other side of the street.” Hearing this, he came over, made some excuses about his inten* tion of residing there, and promised to go for the money. But the young men very properly refused to let him go, and collared him, threatening if the money was not paid down, they would instantly take him totbo Police. Our readers will by this time perceive that Mr. Armstrong intention w s to have the goods sent by ODe person, arid at a fitting opportunity to have knock'd him down and obtained possession. T- he young men not being able to procure their money marched Mr. A to the police, where he was recognized as the notorious Clapp , who had escaped from Sing Sing* He was immediately taken care of and af terwards dealt with as we have above sta ted.- N.
