FROM MIL LEDGE VFI,LE.
We learn from our correspondent at Milledge
ville, that the bill to abolih penitentiary confine
ment, was lost in the bouse of Representatives, 5G
in favor, and GO against it.
Ihe bill making very important improvements
in the institution, is still under consideration.— j
these improvements be carried into effect,
there can be no doubt that the penitentiary will be
rendered much more efficient as a place of pun- •
ishinent, and we think some hopes may be enter- ‘
tained that it may, in a partial degree, work a
reform in the convict. But w hat ever may be said
in regard to it, the plan will prove expensive in the
prosecution; and so long as the institution shall
be very expensive, there will be the constant
dread that some knight-errant, just set out in the
career of popularity, will run tilt against it, mere
ly for the purpose of showing his love of economy
and devotion to the interests of the people. Law
givers, who a*ct wisely, will not always prefer
those institutions which, in the abstract, may be
the very best; but they will favor the best which
the habits and the feelings of the people, will sub
mit to. Now what ever may be the benefits of the
penitentiary system, under the improvements
about to be adopted, still it must cease to be a very
heavy burden on the treasury, or else the people
of this state will not long sustain it.
The bill to extend the jurisdiction of justices of
the peace, $'C. has been rejected.
A bill to extend the lawsMof the slate over the
Cherokee Indians, and to secure to them the en
joyment of all civil rights, has been reported to
the house.
It is believed, by our correspondent, that the
bill making an appropria* ion for the Savannah and
Ogechee canal, will be carried.
The proceedings of the legislature for the past
week have been very uninteresting. Many local
bills, such, for instance, as those establishing or
| abolishing election districts, amendatory of road
* laws, fixing county sites, Ac. Ac. have been call
’ ed up and discussed at length, and duly considered
in all their important bearings.
A resolution has passed both branches, allowing
to the electors of electors of president and vice .
president, $G per day, and $0 for every 20 miles
travel, has passed botli branches.
The bill to compel the Attorney General and
Solicitor to give bond and security, was taken up
t and discussed at length in the House, on the sth.
; On motion of Mr. Hudson, the amount of the
the bond was fixed at $20,000. Mr. Myers sug
gested that there was a defect in the bill, and
offered an amendment —making the Governor the
iuii'TC of the sufficiency of the bond. Ihe bill
J 3 f *
! finally passed the house.
A bill to reduce the lees in lottery grants, in
the lottery of 18*27, from IS to 12 dollars, and to
* extend the time for taking out grants, to the 25th
1 n
! December, 182't, was also passed.
| The bill to reform the discipline of the peniten-
I tiary, and to make alterations in the building, has
t been rend the second time.
j A bill to exempt from the lien and operation of
! judgments, cotton and all other agricultural pro
! duels, sold and paid for in the regular course of
I trade, in cities Ac and to protect the pur-
I chasers thereof, has been reported by Mr. Carter,
and read the 2d time.
In most of the northern cities, the regular tra
ders have petitioned Congress to impose such
duties on Auctions as shall amount to a prohibi
tion, or considerably check the amount of these
sales.
Although this kind of business m this place is
i very trifling in amount, compared to that transact-
I ed in many northern cities, yet it is fully sufficient
to interfere w ith the business of the regular mer
chant, and to operate very injuriously on his in
terests. It presents the means to the speculator,
of palming off on the community damaged goods,
; or fabrics of inferior quality, and thus proves an
injurious to the planter as to the merchant.
Bui there are many objections to the Auction
System, as conducted here, which do not
elsewhere. A heavy duty is imposed on the licence
of the Auctioneer, and the number is limited to a
few individuals by law, —and thus is created a
monopoly, whiphis always injurious to free trade.
We aru surprised thdt the attention of this com
munity has never been directed to this subject.

FOR THE SAVANNAH MERCURY.
The course of studied hostility pursued by the
bank of tiu? United States and its branches, in
regard to local institutions, is a subject of great
reprehension. The enormous power wielded by
that institution, enables it to check and control
the operations of other institutions, and convert
them into mere instruments for its own aggran
dizement. And it may be seriously feared, that
unless lome means can be adopted on the part of
the state institutions to resist the rapacity of this
monstrous engine of oppression, that they wih be
finally swallowed up by her overgrown power.
It has been the practice of the branch of the j
United States’ bank, in this place, for some time j
past, to call upon the local banks for weekly set
tlements, and to insist upon their redeeming all the
bills which the branch may hold ; to prevent the
specie from being carried out of the country, the 1
local banks have been in the habit of drawing
bills, payable at sight, on the northern cities, for
anv balances which may be due from tnem. fl he
U. S. bank have lately formed the determination,
although these bills command a premium, to de
mand ot the banks interest on them, from the time
they are drawn, until the moment they are paid
*ay in New-York.
: This is an exaction, to which the local banks
ought not to submif; and it is to be hoped that
the feelings of this community wffi uphold them
.in re-isting it. JUSIJCL. j
SAVANNAH, THURSDAY MORNING , DECEMBER 18, IS2B.
Virginia.*—' The result of the vote of the Elec
toral College of Virginia ha* been unanimous for-
Gen. Jackson and Jolm C. Calhoun, for president
and vice president of the United States.
The President , p ccf. — We learft (says-the New-
York Statesman) that General Jackson, to avoid
the fatigues and inconveniences of a journey to
Washington in mid-winter, has made arrange- !
merits for taking up his residence at Philadelphia
till the 4th of March, and that he is soon expected
in that city. It is not improbable, that in the
interim he may go to New-England, which he has 1
never visited, and whither it is understood he will
be invited by his political friends. A deternana- J
tion to exchange the seclusion of the Hermitage i
for the more busy and active scenes of life, whence
a w ider knowledge of the interests and feelings of
the country may be derived, previous to entering
upon the duries of the Chief Magistracy of the
United States, is highly commendable and will
doubtless meet public approbation. Peter the
Great for the hem it of his young empire, did not
disdain to enter workshops and labor in disguise in
order to familiarize himself with mechanical ope
rations and the” useful arts. If General Jackson
would so far imitate the noble example of the
Czar, as to visit our sea ports, our navy yards, our
extensive manufactories, and other departments
of industry, it might be the means, we do not say
of liberalizing his views, but of refreshing his
knowledge of the great interests of his country.
The Alexandria Gazette says, that “ Mr Clay’*
invaluable services will not be lost to the nation,
llis old constituents will send him again to the
scene of his former triumphs and glory —triumphs
of reason and eloquence, not of blood and carnage
—a glory bestowed by genius, not won from fields
of battle. He will live vet, we trust, to stand
as he was wont to do, among the Representatives
of the People, the fearless asserter of the Peo
ple’s rights, and the champion of their interests.
His enemies cannot put him down. A mind like
his, rises superior to and above every obstacle
which envy and malice may throw in its way.”
A correspondent of the Commercial, at Wash
ington, under date of the 26th ult. indulges in the
following speculations on Ihe probable operations
in the capital, during the present session of Con
gress :—JV. Y Gnz.
“ The chief business of the session “ ill, I take
it, be the organization of parties for another pre
sidential election. The only common object of
the Jackson party was the election of Jackson
That object effected the combination will dissolve
by common consent Clay, Calhoun, Van Bu
rf.n, and M’Lean, the Post Master General, are
the most prominent candidates. The last named
candidate will, in the opinion of many, stand a very
good chance of success. The patronage of his
office ‘ has increased, is increasing, and ought not
to be diminished.’ The contractors who, for two
or three years past, have visited this city, have I
spoken, in extravagant terms, of his popularity
and influence in every section of the Union, par
ticular! v in the western, eastern, and middle states.
Some of the contractors have declared the opinion
that, if the present Postmaster Geneial had been
friendlv to the administration, and had used his
patronage and influence with a view to the promo
tion of its interests, he would have supported it
against nil the f roes of ’he combination. It is
also believed by many that, Mr. Clay being out of
the question, Mr. M’* ean would beat Messrs.
Calhoun and Van Buren. But all four of these
gentlemen will probably be run, it is thought that
the election will again devolve on the House of
Representatives. It is, however, too soon by a
month or two, to speculate on this topic.”
Among the on dits of the day, is one, says the
American, that the president, elect, with his wife,
is about to leave Tennessee, to take up his abode
for the winter in Philadelphia, to be in readiness
thence to proceed on the 4ih of March, without
inconvenience or fatigue, to the scat of govern
ment. Another is, that Mr. Adams has taken a
house at Washington for his permanent, residence,
after the expiration of his term of service as pre
sident. We know not what faith is to be placed
in either-of these important rumours ; though from
the circmstance that Mrs. Adams’ health, which
for many years lias been delicate, is always better
at Washington, of which the climate is peculiarly
congenial to her, than elsewhere, we should think
the latter one not improbable.—■JV*. Y Gaz.
From the Commercial Advertiser we learn that
in the city of New-York, Governor elect Van Bu
reo, has held several preparatory caucusses with
members of congress, at which an informal dele
gation from Pennsylvania assisted. At these de
liberations, “ the Presidential question for 1833
•lias already been agitated.”
We learn (says a Portsmouth, N. H. paper of
Nov. 27) t hat actions for damages have been insti
tuted by Col. John P. Decatur, naval store keeper
of this station, against the editors of the Kenne
bunk Gazette, and Dover Inquirer, for alledged
libels. Damages laid at SIO,OOO in each suit.
Disinterment. —The Mayor and Aldermen of
the city of Boston have offered a reward of SIOO,
for the discovery and conviction of some persons
who between the 10th Sept, and 17th Nov. took
1 from one of the city tombs, belonging to the house
of industry, several bodies there interred.
Tea Case —We understand (says the Philadel
phia Gazette) that the District Attorney made an
application, on the last day of the court for anew
trial of Francis Nicoll, vs. the Marshall of Penn
sylvania. The application was promptly rejected
bv Judge Washington. The tea cases have, we
understand, been the most profitable for the law
officers of government that ever occurred. We
cannot, therefore wonder at their importance to
let them drop. In Mr. Nicolls’ case alone, there
were upwards of GOO bilk of indictment, on each
of which the District Attorney claims fees.
Awkward Mistake. —A white man (says the
Charleston Courier) was discovered in the cabin
of the British brig Retrench, at Kiddell’s wharf,
yesterday afternoon. It appears, that in the ab
sence of the oificers of the brig, the stranger en
tered the cabin and closed the door after him.
The Captain’s writing desk was on the table, and
curiosity getting the better of discretion, its con
tents were examined ; but as tnere was nothing
valuable in the desk, the gentleman was illy re
quited for his trouble. Upon being questioned
why he came there, said, “ he wanted to read the
newspapers ,” and coolly walked off under some
suspicion.
Dismal Swamp Canal— The Newhern Specta
tor, states that ** the Dismal Swamp Canal will
shortly be completed, so as to afford a navigation
between A1 berm aide Sound and Norfolk harbor.”
Asa proof of the warm interest taken by the emi
grants from Ireland, in New-York; in the affairs of
their brethren over the water, the Editors of the
New-York Evening Post say, that s;lk handker
chiefs of American manufacture, are for sale in
that city, on which is printed a likeness ot Daniel
O’Connell. The silk is said to be fine and even,
and tire face beais a resemblance to me Irish
Orator.
In consequence of the rise of grain in
reported in the accounts received by the Roman
at New-York, all ihe flour that could be bought in
Baltimore 01 the Ist inst. at. or under $7 50, was
taken up. An offer of 27 1-2 cents per gallon for
100 bbls. whiskey, was refused the same day
Captain Cartwright, of the brig Eliza David
son, arrived at New York on the Ist inst. from St.
Croix, reports that accounts are daily received at
tnat place, and at St. Thomas, of vessels taken
and plundered by Pirates. There is scarcely a
packet or coasting vessel among the Islands that
escapes. One of our small national vessels is
much wanted in the Sailrocks and Sanibrero pas
sages, to protect American commerce.
Warehousing System. —By the Boston papers,
we perceive that a meeiing of merchants was to
have been held the 2d inst. at the Exchange Cof
fee House, to consider the expediency of memo
rialising Congress on the subject of a VVarehousing
System, and an extension of : he time allotted for
exporting goods with benefit of drawback.
Execution of Padilla, fyc. —Captain Rugan, of
the brig Colombian, at Philadelphia, from Laguira
whence he sailed on the evening of the 16th Nov.
states that official accounts had been received at
Caracca-*, from Bogota of the 2d Oct. which an- j
nouneed the trial and execution of Gen Padilla, !
Col Guerra, and most of the other conspirators of
the 25th September.
Naval. —The medical Board of Examination
appointed by the Hon. the Secretary of the Navy
for the United States, for the examination of ap
plicants for admission into the Medical Depart
ment of the Navy has been in session at No. 158
Chesnut-street, Philadelphia, since the 18tli ult.
The Board consists of Doctors Barton, Harris, j
Bay, and Washington, and they convene at 10
o'clock, A. M. daily.
The Jury impannelled in the case of Michael
M’Garvey, indicted for the murder of his wife,
returned a verdict yesterday afternoon, convicting
him of murder in the second degree.. The prison
er was accordingly sentenced to eighteen years
imprisonment—nine of solitary confinement, and
nine at hard-labour. He was then conducted to
the penitentiary, surrounded by a numerous con
course of people.— Phil. Chron.
Lake Navigation. —The season of navigation
may be considered as over The steamboats which
ply between this port and Detroit, are laid up, and
the schooners are following their example. Se
veral of the latter; however, left this for ports up
the lake, last week, and we believe the steamboat
Pioneer still makes hei daily trips to Dunkirk.—
Present appearances indicate that the navigation
will be entirely closed in a short time.— Buffalo
Journal
Unfortunate Stage Accident. —As the snathern
stage was returning to this town from Concord,
(says the Western Carolinian of December 2,)
the horses were frightened by the breaking of the
double tree, and ran away. Mr John L. Grahann
of this town, in leaping from the stage, broke his
legy By the presence of mind of the driver (Mr
Mitchell) and one of the passengers, the horses
were soon stopped and furt her accidents prevented
There were several passengers in the stage at the
time, none of whom, except Mr. Graham, re
ceived any injury. This is one of the many in
stances proving that it is much safer to remain in.
the stage, than to attempt an escape. We are
happy to learn that Mr. Graham is doing well.
To Quench Thirst. — Mix a spoonful of hone\
with the same quantity of spirits, and add a quart
of water by little at a time, so that they may mix
intimately. This drink is a stimulant, nourishim
and effective, in quenching thirst.— Edinburg Ob
server. — We beg to follow this admirable recipe
with another :— To allay hunger. —Take a pound
of beef, and broil it carefully over a prosier fire.
When ready, sit down and eat it with salt, mus
tard, pepper if you choose, and bread. This food
is savoury, nourishing and effective, in allaying
hunger.— Edinburg Weekly Review.
Port-au-Prince. —By the brig Confiance, at N.
‘York, the editors of the Baltimore American, have
received from the editor of the Feuille du Com
merce, at Port-au-Prince, a file of that paper to
the 2d of Nov inclusive. In the number of that
date, they find a law of the Republic of Hayti,
imposing an export duty of twelve dollars per
thousind, feet on Mahogany, [bois d’acajou et
d’espinille ] This regulation is to go into effect,
on the first of January, 1829. There is no other
news of importance.
From Cadiz and Gibraltar —By the ship Flo
rida, which ariived on Sunday from Cadiz, we have
received from our correspondent., the “ Diario
j Mercantil” to the I9th Oct. inclusive. We do
not find any political news, but the papers give
melancholy and alarming accounts of the rapid pro
gress of the yellow fever in Gibraltar, from which
place the accounts reach to the 18th of October,
being a week later than our direct advices. The
Diaro of the 17th, gives the daily returns, of the I
i cases of fever at Gibraltar from the 10th to the
! 13th inclusive. On the first, mentioned day, there j
\ remained in the civil and military hospitals, &c. \
j 725 patients, of whom 3G4 were dangerously sick,
j 149 slightly im’i posed, and 122 convalescent. On
; the last mentioned day, the number of patients
1 had increased to 907, of whom 465 were danger
’ ously ill, 216 slightly indisposed, and 226 conva
lescent. The deaths in the four days, amounted
to 95.
Our latest paper (the 10th,) states that for the
three days preceding the 17th, there were 300 new
cases of fever, and 86 deaths. This increases the
; whole number of cases to 1209, and, deducting
i the deaths (86) makes the number in the hospitals,
&c. on the 17th, 1121.
In the Chillicothe (Ohio) Chillicothian, of Nov
15th we find the foliowing—which for excess in

Certainly, great praise is due the poor husband,
for his kind forbearance.

Edgeworth s Works, P r k’s ectrimn, page
15J [Harry & Luscy,] may be found the
following description *d tin mode of mak
ing marbles.— Boston Courier .
I its; they cut a c* rtaui sort of s one into
bits of any irregular sh ’pes, n<- in liter whatr
nearly the >iz° of a common marb e. These
they throw into an iron mill, in which (here
are a. number of partitions, and to ea<!
partition strong rasps are fixed, in a slauting;
direction ; the mill is worked by water and
is turned with great swiftness; the rubbing
of the stones against the rough rasps and
against each other rounds them, and by de
grees smooths and polishes them, in the
same manner as the gravel becomes round
ed iu the bed of a river. When they are
formed to the proper shape, they fall
through circular holes, made in the nttom
of the mill of the rightsize to let then*
through. From Nurembmg, he town where
they are made, they are brought down die
River Rhine t Rotterdam, and thenc&
sent all over Europe, to all countries’ and
places where boys play at marbles.
Singular circumstance. —called fn at
the office of Dr. J. F. Vaughan, of this bo
rough, on Thursd *y last, when he related
the following wonderful occurrence, whicll
we have no doubt is destined to make a
great noise in the world, and to be a sub
ject of much discussion among the faculty.
A child about i4 months old, in th®
neighborhood of this borough, had been
suffering from some singular disease for up
wards of six months, and for the last three
■ months experienced the most excrutiating
vain. Its parents supposing its illness to
emceed from worms, administered ihe re~
o.d'es usual in such c ses, but with little
fleet On Sunday fist, thi y consulted
)r. V luglian, wh<*, after hearing their nar
ration. agreed with the n in opinion, and
-linking that a more powerful dose was all
hat was necessary accordingly gave it.—
I he next day a full grown mouse , dead,
ml one worm, were expelled tioni ihe
luld. The skin of the mouse was enfrre
y destitute of hair, and so transparent that
die animal could be seen through. Tne
child had become very much emaciated*
and its piercing cries, at times, were in
supportably distressing The parents-state
that their children had several times disco
vered nests of mice and brought the young
ones into the house, and they suppose that
on one of these occasions the infant has put
one in its mouth, and that it entered ihe
stomach, where it had lived until destroyed
by the medicine which produced its remov
al. Wilmington (Del ) Register.
