Vfe have received returns from the following counties, viz: Baldwin, Bibb, Bryan, Bulloch, Burke, Chdtham, Clark, Columbia, Effingham, F.lbert, Emanuol, Franklin, Glynn, Hancock, Lau rens, Lincoln, Liberty, M’lntosh, Richmond, Scri ven, Twiggs, Tattnall, Upson, Washington, War ren, and Wilkes—26 in all—and the following is the aggregate of votes for each candidate : BRAILSjFOIiD, 5117 CHARLTON, 3784 CUTHBERT, 4092 FOSTER, ‘ 5796 GILMER, 9690 HAYNES, 7194 LUMPKIN, 4098 MERRI WETHER, 4078 THOMPSON, 7312 TRIPLETT, 3253 5 WAYNE, 8254 WILDE, 9544 WILLIAMSON, • 4084 As this is onlj r about one-third of the counties of the State, it will of course be impossible to form any certain conclusion as to the entire ticket which will prevail. We look upon it as highly probable, however, that Messrs. Gilmer, Wilde, Haynes, and Thompson, are re-elected. l\lr Way no is also probably elected. It would be alto gether vain to put forth an opinion in regard to tho other eight candidates ; two of whom only can be elected. We have noticed the efforts v.-hich have late ly been made by the Editors in Milledgeville, to exalt the character of the Press in Georgia, from that state of degraded estimation into which, through the over-heated part)’ zeal of some wri ters, it has fallen, with feelings of cordial approba tion and respect. The veteran Editor of the Re corder whoso extensive experience, as well as general intelligence and integrity of justly entitle him to the confidence of the craft, brought the subject home to the reflection of the conductors of our public journals by some appro priate remarks published in June last. Subse quently the project of a convention of Printers at Milledgeville was proposed ; which, we learn through the Journal, failed. The Editors of tjbc Journal lately proposed, that the rules laid down I>y Mr. Noah (in his remarks on the Boston dinner) as the rules of Boston, be adopted by tho Editors j in this stale. Our friend, tlie Editor of the States- | man and Patriot, arranges sentiments partaking of the same spirit in the form of a Resolution, which he proposes that the Editors of Journals in this state should siirn. These sentiments have our entire approbation, and we have no hesitation in adopting ilmm in spirit and good faith, in our intercourse with onr brethren of the fraternity. We hope their influence will be general. FOR TII£ SAVANNAH MERCURY. Mr. Editor, lain net superstitious, neither do I put confi dence in dreams: but a few nights since I had so j peculiar a dream, that I cannot forego the desire of communicating it to you, with the request that you will interpret it for me if you can. Having received my newspapers by the mail, I found much to interest me, and continued reading til* j late at night; when J fell asleep in my chair and dreamed as follows : A spectre appeared to me> ■ which I shall not attempt to describe, farther than , to say, it was frightful beyond description. Per- 1 ceivincr me to be alarmed, lie said, “Fear not, thou impotent sp rit, I have come to befriend thee.” Encouraged by tins salutation, I asked with a trembling voice, who art thou? lie an swered, “I am the Genius of confusion, the true essence of the God Mars; I have the spirits of tho nether world at my command, and tho spirits of j intrigrue, corruption, detraction, falsehood and ! blood, are my most active, faithful, and favorite i ones; fall down and worship mo and it shall bo well with thee.” I replied, I invoke the spirit of Washington, and I have sealed my affiance to that snered behest handed down from the genius of Liberty, peace, good order and prosperity, by the hands of Jefferson and Adams, who were commanded to watch over it one Jubil year, and who having established the reign of this benign spirit over the land, departed together, to that city where the just only are allowed to enter. He smiled and said, the spirits of suavity and pleasure are also at my command. I replied that from age and experience I had become grave; and that I was melancholy because I feared some evil soirits were abroad in the land; as few now in voke the spirit of Washington or regard his part ing behest. The spectre frowned and said, de scendant of the spirit of Seventy-six, it is not yet too late to submit, and thy honor shall be to fol low in the train with those Bitch, Green, and? Mercurial spirits, whoso early bowed submission, and have so faithfully served me ever since; nei ther is it too late for thy kinsman Georgius Ame ricus, if he submits, I will avert the sentence of the cord and cowskin that is passed upon him, and which will be executed in due time, by my few devoted followers in that refractory city Da. rien. led on by my favored spirit from the barony that lieth east near the great, sea; 1 will also pre vent liis impeachment, and the conviction ot trea son, to be effected by my gallant followers on the islands of the south; but know thou, storn and stubborn spirit, that my master spirits have been at work these four days past, and the work j is almost accomplished. My foremost spirit has finished his work, and I have commanded him to rest fora time on the elevated banks oi the great river in the north country; my second is still at work unseen; my spirits of detraction and false hood are flying to and fro through the land, in the of white sheets w’ith black marks, and these will continue to fly until the work is finish ed. I must be quick away to my flaming abode far in the south, and will send my spirit of blood. This shall be the sigu of the establishment of ray SA VANN All, THURSDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 16, 1828. kingdom; my star which suddenly arose in the south fifteen days since, and now declines in the % ost, when my spirit of blood doth como, shall arise and take possession of a city prepared for him, even the beloved and favored Athens, in the pleasant and fruitful land that lieth eastward of the great hills which separate it from the land polluted by cotton bagging and swine, as a re ward for her fidelity; and around this star will I appoint a galaxy of gods and shining host of lords; and around this city I will marshall a host of Troupers, and none shall enter there that dare eat of his own bread, drink the juice of his own vine, or wear the fabric of hi* own household, and all who enter there shall wear the badge Tariff anti, the interpretation of which is, consumer of foreign fabrics and products. This honor I inten ded for anqther city, but she was unwise and call ed for the spirit of blood before the time; where fore many of my loyal spirits became amazed, and denied the faith.” When the Spectre left off speaking, I cried out in great amazement, Spirits of Washington, War ren, Green, Montgomery! spirits of Hancock, Jefferson, Franklin! Constitution of my country! Here the Spectre interrupted, and with a counte nance dark as midnight, eyes flashing lightning, and a voice like thunder, said, invoke not the spirits of Seventy-six, nor name that band of , union called the constitution, for it shall be torn j in a thousand pieces, aud those names buried in oblivion; then if any shall dare call them up, their heads shal! become playthings, their blood shall nourish the plants of Aristocracy and Monarchy, ! I and their bodies shall be food for Kentucky hogs. ‘ At this moment streams of liquid fire gushed from * ; his nostrils, which nearly overwhelmed me; I | sprang from my chair and awoke. My wife was knitting by my side, and would know the reason of my fright. I related my dream; which caused much alarm; but as she was well versed in the history of witchcraft in Connecticut, she insisted on consulting tho almanac; when to our great joy we found that the plannet Mars was receding from the earth. Yours, Seventy sixjr. Darien, October 9. j Paying off the Puhhc Debt. —By an advertise mentfroin the Treasury in the paper of to-day, it will be seen that this prodigal Administration, is prodigal enough to pay;off over four millions more of the public debt. YV hat a prodigal Administra tion this is ! Only think of tlitir wasting near ten millions of dollars, in one year, in paying off tha debts of preceding Administrations ! After this, who can doubt, that the Administration ought to be put down, right or wrong ?— Nat. lut. The Secretary of State is expected in this city, j we understand, to-day or to-morrow, on his re turn from a visit to his domicil in Kentucky.— lb. Secretary of the Nary. —We regret to state says the Newark Eagle, that the Hon. Mr. South aid, on his return to Washington with his family, from a visit to the Springs, was taken ill last week in this town, and still continues so S9 not to be able to travel. He is at the residence of his friend, Thoodore Frelingliuyscn, esq. We understand he is convalescent, and expects to re sume his journey in a few days. The Portsmouth Journal sa) T s, the Directors of the Exeter Bank have recovered seventeen hun dred dollars in specie of the money lately stolen from the vault— it was found in the woods of Dan vois of Top.ffield. All the specie but S3OO has now been recovered, and the amount lost is redu . ced to about eight thousand dollars. The surplus i fund of tiie bank before the robbery was $23,000. \ The robbers are in Exeter jail. . I The United States schooner Shark left here on Friday evening on a cruize, passing through the | Sound. It is understood that she has gone to I order off the Buenos Ayrean squadron, which has, ; however, departed, as will be seen by a paragraph 1 in this day’s paper. The Shark will be joined by the Hudson and Erie of Black Rock ; but as there will be no occasion for t heir services, the Hudson will proceed on her voyage to the Brazils, and the other vesssels will no doubt return immediately to this port.— N. Y. Gaz. The Apple crops at, the North are said to be unu sually grea . The Hampshire Gazette says, that they will be so great in that region, that the Far mers are at a loss what to do with the fruit, as it I will not bring enough to pay for gathering it in— and that cider is so cheap, that it is but a loss of time and money to make it The amount of Duties paid by twelve Auc tioneers, in Philadelphia, for the quarter ending in September, was $29,873 89. The Young Napoleon. —lt would appear from the following account in a German paper, that the young Napoleon promises to prove a “ chip of the old bfock.” 4< The young Duke of Reichstadt, the son of Napoleon, went through his last exa mination in every branch of his studies, to the perfect .satisfaction of their Imperial Majesties, and of his mother, who were present on the occa sion. His grandfather told him, after the examina tion had been concluded, that within a year he should enter the army ; upon which the young Prince is said to have exclaimed—Thank God! then my fate is fixed !” There is a rumour more current that Austria means to procure for him the throne of Portugal, by negociating a marriage between him and the young queen Maria de Glo ria, all title to whose hand her hopeful uncle Miguel has forfeited. We do not know what truth there is in the rumour. Avery serious robbery w r as committed at the Tremont theatre on Thursday night. A gentle man from Ohio, Mr. P. Judson, had his pocket book, containing $2,300, cut from his coat pocket by some desperate villain, who escaped with the booty. The money was principally insoand SIOO bills, of the banks of the Western and Southern states. Mr. Judson has offered a reward of SIOO for the detection of the thief and recovery of the property. “He was a stranger and they took him ia,” but he was very unwise to carry so much mone)’ with him to the theatre.-— Boston Com. i Gaz. 27 th ult. Capt. Morgan.—The Boston Palladium of the 2Gth says, vve should not mention the name of this individual had we not been informed, yesterday, bv a gentleman entitled to the most entire con fidence, that capt. Waterman of Duxbury, a gen tleman of undoubted respectability and veracity, j who commanded the brig Herald in her last voy- j age from Boston to Smyrna, is fully convinced, in j his own mind, that he carried Win. Morgan as a ] passenger. The gentleman -who has given us Capt. Waterman’s opinion on this subject, is Mr. Job W. Tyler, of this city, who sailed with Capt. Waterman on hifi next voyage, as first officer of the Herald. Capt.. YV. at that time, often men- j tinned the subject to Mr. T. and has since express- | ed his sincere conviction that Morgan was hie passenger. | ! Piracy in anew quarter. —The ship Shenan • doa, Rqse, at Alexandria, from Bremen, was boarded, (according to the account published in the Phoenix Gazette,) on the 13th Sept, in lat. 36, and lon. ; >, by a piratical schooner, and robbed of ’ sfores, nearly all their clothes, watches, qu. , nts, spy-gdasK*s, SSO in money, some boxes of wane, and almost every valuable article that could be found. The vessel was a long black ; schooner with a white streak, pierced for 14 guns —but it appeared after wards, she had onlv one mounted, a long 12 or 18 pounder, but an abun dance of all kinds of small arms. Bhe was com manded and manned by Spaniards.— Baltimore Chronicle. By our Treaty with Britain, cargoes in our vessels are to be admitted into England, on the same duties on cargoes as in English vessels. But they have lately made a law that if their ’vessels ; from the U. States will touch at Nova Scotia or Newfoundland, on their way, they shall pay , 75 per ct, less than our vessels ! Is, oris not, this ! a violation or evasion of the Treaty ? The Lon don vessels boast that it will throw our vessels out of freights. This effect will be evidence against it, in reference to the Treaty. A British vessel from England can come to the U. S. on the same terms as one of our oui’s.— But our vessels cannot go to England on the same terms as the British ; because they can touch at a Br-'ish colony with little loss of time, and alter ! th o/*e entirely. ( Suppose we had an island on the coast of France, , and had commenced such proceeeding.— Boston Palladium. Extract of a letter from Montreal, dated Sept. 22. ”lou will seo by our Quebec papers that we hive English dates to the 10th of Aug. Inconse quence of the advance of Grain in England, flour ; is now selling at $9 per barrel at this place. British Reciprocity. —Shortly after the c|o*e of the last war, two cargoes of hops were sent as an j experiment from this country to England, and > were sold at a profit, after paying the duty then imposed on hops, of 30s. sterling, ($6 60 cents) ‘ per cvvt. Before the third cargo arrived, a duty j was imposed by the British government of £8 1 sterling, ($35 52 cents) per cvvt. and a total stop put. to this commencing trade. YVe recommend j this policy to the consideration of those who are ; inclined to the application of the principles of free \ trade, to the intercourse between the United Steles and Great Britain. “ Let each o#ie take care of himself,” as the jackass said when he danced among the chickens. [JY. V. American. Lorenzo Doic. —This celebrated minister of the Gospel, we learn from a western paper, is now travelling through the state of Tennessee. It is announced that ho will preach in Nashville on the 30th inst. Fires. —The grocery store of Mr A. B Hatha way, coiner of Orchard and Dplancy-streets, received some damage by fire on Monday eve ning.—N. F. Daily Adz. ‘3d inst. r • Daring Robbery. — At about 8 o’clock on Sa turday evening, one of the most daring and suc cessful robberies was perpetrated in YVashington Market that we ever recollect to have heard of.— It will be recollected that on Saturday evenings the market is kept open to a late hour, fbr the purpose of supplying the wants of the citizens on Sunday. YVinle a lady was purchasing vegeta bfosfc and fruit in the country market, with her brother at her elbow, and surrounded by a crowd uinalSrly occupied, she felt her shawl jerked from her shoulders, and in the next moment the thief was seen rushing through the market, with the elegant Cashmere in his hand f The cry of stop thief! issued from an hundred mouths, and some twenty joined in the pursuit as far as the corner of Fulton and Church-streets, but the light finger ed gentleman was light heeled also, for lie com pletely distanced his pursuers and made off with the Cashmere ! Where was the watch ?— N. F. Courier. COMMERCIAL. Extract from a letter dated Malaga, July 18. “ Our last was per brig Malaga—since which, we have not had any direct conveyance, or we should at an earlier date have said something of our approaching vintage. “ The present opportunity wall allow us to men tion that for the raisins, the weather has been tolerably favourable ; and if we have no raisins at the latter end of August, or beginning of Septem ber, we shall have a sufficiency for the expected demand; but there will not be the superabundance of the last two seasons. We shall have some bunch raisins in town by the 25th August. “ Early lemons are to be had at $2 1-2 per chest, by the 15th Sept, they will not cost more j than $2, and perhaps less. “ No change to advise in wines. Good qualities 1 from $9 alO per cask. We trust that the new 1 duties on wines, to take etfect in the United • States will relieve your markot of the inferior qualities, which have been sent hence in such abundance and give inducement for shipments of better kinds. Olive oil remains as last quoted— say 45 a 45j per gallon on board.” From the Baltimore Commercial Chronicle of October 2, 1823. ’ The Editors of the Commercial Chronicle are indebted to a friend for the following extract of a letter, dated Bremen, 7th Aug. 1828. j 41 Arrivals of Tobacco within last month, amounting to SOCK) Hlids have been more exten sive than for a length of time, and our sales during said period, consisting merely of 2000 hhds. stocks have consequently become increased to 10,200 hhds. of Maryland, Virginia and Kentucky.- Quite ordinary Maryland is in disrepute, as V ir ginia and Kentucky are daily advertised for sale, and sacrificed at 3 1-2 gr. per lb.; good and light brown Maryland is, on the other hand, very salea ble, and we have latterly realised about 200 hlids. thereof at a handsome profit on first cost. Scrubs will continue a favorite and advantageous sort, as long as supplies thereof do not drop in too largely. For colored and yellow descriptions we have no particular inquiry, although the season for ship ping the latter to different ports in the Baltic, draws to a close within a month hence. u Private sales of last week were, 160 hhds. of all kinds.—Public do 121 do Maryland at 5a 6gr.; 43 do Virginia 3 3-8 a 5 7-8 ; and 106 do. ; Ken tucky, 315-16 a 4 2-16.

The result as under will give an idea of the probability of profits attending future speculations, viz : Amount of sale - $l4O 00 Charges 99 50 Nett proceeds, ♦ $49 00 Less, three and a half per cent export duties— two and a half per cent shipping commission and 80 much per centage insurance on balance and freight, &c Camden, Oct. 4 Cotton, 8 1-2 a9; wheat, 70 a 75; flour $4 1-2, out of the wagona; Camden , 6 1-2 ; corn, 37 I*2 j Salt 70 cents, Colombia, Oct 3.—Bacon, lb. i a 8; corn, per bushel, 40 a 43 ; cotton, lb 8 a 9| ; flour, north ern, 6 50 a 7. ; country, new 5a 6. Tlie business in cotion has been heavy durincr the last week ; the arrivals by vagons have been large, and sales iiave been effected roadd . A general disposition appears topre- dl amongst the planters to otFeet sales. The principal sales du ring the week have effected at a decline of 1-4 to -1-2 a cent on last week's quotation, which may be attributed principally to the languid state of European markets and the advanced price and scarcity ot freights to Charleston. YV e have, in consequence of the late rains, a fine fiavigdbie river, which will give more spirit to our market.— YVe took with intense anxiety to the opening of the market, in t harleston, which of course must be regulated by foreign markets. —State Gazette.
