Manufactures in the South.
The Monitor contains the following extract
of a letter from a gentleman to his friend in
Tuskaloosa, Alabama, dated July 4th, 1845.
What is true of Alabama, is true of Georgia,
and indeed of the entire Cotton growing States,
and we therefore commend this extract to the
careful consideration of the reader. No country
and no people have ever prospered without
manufactures—without making themselves in a
great degree independent of their neighbors for
their supplies—am! no reasonab e man can ex
’ ~ peel that the Southern States of this Union are
i f ‘ to lortp theonly exception to this rule. The
fluctuations in commerce may, it is true, give
them a temporary success, but there is wanting
evidences of a permanent prosperity which we
can never have nr.til out labor is more diversi
fied. Bnt to the extiact:
“You know 1 profeSssto love my country in
all its length and breadth’ from the * Aroostook
to the extremes! cape of Florida, and from the
Atlantic to the Rio del Norte. Consequently,
I rejoice in every movement calculated to pro
mote lite happiness of its people. I have look
ed with a pleasure which f could not suppress
upon the impulse given to agriculture within
the last half dozen years; and though (as you
know) opposed to a tarifl’for protection, no man
has felt more solicitous for the establishment of
manufactures upon a large scale, throughout
the country, than myself. Theiraired tenden
cy is to give increased activity t • business by
calling into employment the unproductive capi
tal, of which there is millions; to tiirnisli labor
for the industrious poor, ai d tempt the idle to
work; and by affording a steadier market for
provisions, to induce the farmer in every part of
the republic to grow a larger supply. This, by
means of all these causes combined, producing
wealth, coinfort and virtue far beyond what has
been seen or conceived of at the South.
"That the policy hitherto pursued by the
mass of southern planters is disastrous, I sup
pose may be considered as too satisfactorily set
tled to admit of disputation. The years of
1835 and '3O, were regarded as remarkable for
their prosperity, yet corn sold at SI to $1 50 the
bushel, pork trout $8 to $lO, and every thing
• necessary to supply a plantation in the same
proportion. True, the cotton crop at from 12
to 17 cents, sold for an immense sum, yet it is
an indisputable truth that these were years of
scarcity. The high price of cotton tempted
the planter to cultivate so extensively that he
did not devote a sufficiency of land and labor to
the growth of provisions, but he looks abroad
for supplies. The consequence of this un
natural and inflated state of things(independeut
of other causes) operated to produce the revul
sions of 1837. These times which were so des
tructive of private and public virtue, and in their
consequences productive of so much of individ
ual suffering, were fostered by a state of things
which probably will not soon, if ever, exist
again. May that kind Providence v hich has
heretofore watched over this great and glorious
sisterhood of States so govern the affairs of lhe
world as to make us a happy people. What
will more likely tend to such a consummation,
than by so varying at* multiplying the pursuits
of lite, that every one may contribute something
to lhe benefit of society 1
“You would be delighted could you witness
lheevidences of prosperity which are seen in
many of the northern towns, and upon inquir
ing, be told that they owe every thing to their
manufactures or the industry of their inhabi
tants. Take it you please New-Bedford, in
Massachusetts, with its 12,(100 population, its
neat and occasionally elegant mansions, and
tastefully decorate.! grounds—with scarce a
pauper or a drunkard, and a-k what has caused
all this beauty, comfort and elegance. The
answer is at hand, every body works, and works
profitably, either upon the land or the sea.—
There a common mechanic receives $1 50 to
s2jper ten hour’s labor.
“Go to Fall River, and inquire as you na
turally will, what has caused 10,000 people to
congregate here upon a little stream issuing
from two ponds or small lakes on the high
< 'round in its vicinity? The answer will be,
o enjoy the benefit of the water power. There
is a nail factory—a factory tor making machi
nery—establishments lor printing calico, &c.
&c. I mention these two places because my
knowledge in respect to them is more exact
than any other.
“The coarser cotton labncs used so exten
sively at the south, do not come in competition
with foreign goods oflhe same quality; if they
did they would nol require a tariff to protect
them. It is really astonishing that Alabama,
having in her own bosom the elements ol wealth
to a degree which few States in the Union
possess, should be so indifferent to her best in
terests. You have coal of a fine quality, and
in quantity exhaustless—your iron ore is" in the
east, west and north, unlimited in extent, and
far surpassing iu richness that of Juniata. To
these may be added lead and marble of a good
quality. 1 doubt if any State can compare
with yours tor water facilities— you have never
failing streams with ample fall in every part
of it.
“Tuskaloosa seems to have been intended
—for extensive ntannfemuring establishments. It
would nol cost you half lhe money and labor
which has been expended at Lowell, to more
more machinery than is there employed. The
idea ot using steam, unless the establishment
be small, I think should not be indulged where
the water power is so good. 1 see no reason
why your city should not contain a population
ot ten thousand, and even more, (it you would
but improve its natural advantages,) and the
adjacent country be populated willy neat and
thrifty tanners. Tuskaloosa is undoubtedly
healthy. Just let the southern people live as
abstemiously as the people at the north, and
you will doubtless enjoy quite as good health,
even during the summer months.
The price of white laborers is less per wuwZA
in Alabama than in Massachusetts, provisions
are cheaper, and at the present price of cotton,
you may purchase it lor twenty-five per cent,
less than it can be delivered at Lowell. With
all these advantages in your favor, what more
do you want to arouse you to action? Will
the company at Tuskaloosa certainly and speed
ily engage in the manufacture ol cotton? I
cannot doubt it.
“When! have leisure 1 may write some
thing upon the manufacture ot wool, saddlery,
shoes, carriages, &c. The Yankees will estab
lish themselves in North Alabama and Middle
Tennessee soonet or later—lands are rich and
cheap, and the country inviting. Urge your
people to begin al once ; send intelligent, prac
tical men to the north to acquire the necessary
information, that they may invest their money
judiciously, both in machinery and building.
You are more easily discouraged Gian the Yan
kees, and should therefore be certain to make
a successful beginning. The thing is no ex
periment-all it requires is industry, capital
and a prudent exercise ot judgment.
Coffee.—A correspondent of the Philadel
phia U. 8. Gazette, writing from Rio de Janiero
under date of lhe 7lh of June, says:
The prospects for the crop of coffee about
coming to market being interesting to the com
mercial community, particularly since the ad
vance ofprices in the United Stales, 1 take the
liberty of making some temarks thereon, and it
you think they will be interesting to your read
ers, you are at liberty to publish them.
The crop of 1841, the shipment ol which will
be finished 3lst ult. will be about 1,190,000 bags
ot 160 lbs., or about6s,ooo less than last year,
and about the same as the average ot the prece
ding three years, by which it seems that no
great increase is taking place in the production,
but rather the reverse. This is certain from
other facts that might be staled.
The months ot January, February and March
this year proved excessively rainy, am! the
crops in the principal cotlee districts suffered so
severely that the general opinion is, that there
will be a deficiency ol f as, but as some old
coffee remains to come forward, 1 think there
may be one million ol !>ags, but not more, and
that lhe export from July to January Ist will
not average over 90,000 bags per month. The
exports to the UnitedScates in 1843 and 1814
averaged 548,000 bags per annum, or 45,666
bags per month, most of which was consumed
there. The supplies from every other quarter
being deficient, it is very certain that the United
States will require an equal quantity from Rio
Janiero this year and probably more.
From January Ist to July Ist lhe average
monthly export to the United States will be
about 33,000 bags per month, or 198,000; to
make lhe quantity required 340,000 bags must
be shipped from July tojanuary, or 58,233 bags
per month. The greatest monthly average that
can be expected from July to January 1, 1846,
is 90,000 bags. Europe took last year 60,000
bags per month, and has averaged the first five
months of this year 58,600, and will no doubt
require an equal quantity through the year,
particularly ot the first of the new crop, to sup
ply the deficiency of the West India green
qualities, and in order to arrive at the northern
potts before the winter sets in, the demand is
likely to beeven greater than usual from July
to October.
With these views of the prospects it is very
evident that all partsmust receive short supplies,
probably much shorter than their wants, and
consequently higher prices will be maintained
for coffee than for many years, as it is now al
most evident that the consumption is now great
er than the production, which it will be impos
sible to increase for several years to any great
extent, as it has ceased for some time to be a
profitable crop to the planters.
To form new estates is now almost out of the
question, as the importation of slaves is almost
yearly diminishing, and it is to be hoped will
soon entirely cease. The importation the past
4 or 5 years has Iteen but barely sufficient to
keep up the stocks on lhe estates where the loss
is from 5 a 8 per cent per annum.
The plan ot preparing coffee by pulping and
washing, like the Jamaica, for the English
market is increasing rapidly, as it is found to tie
much more profitable; the coffee so prepared
being worth 30 aSO per cent, more than in the
usual manner. This being introduced on lhe
best estates and the finer parts ot the crop se
lected, there will be a much smaller quantity ol
the superior qualities usually selected for the
United States, and it will be very difficult here-
after to ship fine cargoes its formerly. It ises
timated that lhe quantity of washed coffee this
year will be from 120 to 150,000 bags.
The Augusta Canal.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS.
7b Ike Honorable the City Council of Augusta:
The Augusta Canal Commissioner: respect
fully submit their fourth monthly report for the
mouth terminating this day, being the last Wed
nesday in July.
Since their last report, the public work with
the superintendance of which they are charged,
has proceeded satisfactorily on most of the sec
tions under contract. I’he work on the 11th
section is still carried on by lhe persons who
proposed for the 12th, no satisfactory arrange
ment having yet been made for otherwise dis
posing of it. The line lor the 12th section or
lowest level of the Canal, as authorized by the
late amendment ot the Canal Ordinance, has
not yet been finally located; no difficulty, how
ever, js apprehended in securing a favorable lo
cation. The right ol way lor the greater part
of the route has been already obtained, and
arrangements are in progress for the residue.
A contract has been made with an experienc
ed contractor tor lhe construction of the Dam at
Bull Sluice, and all proper means will be used
to expedite the first pan ot lhe work in lhe pre
sent low slate of lhe river, which is most favor
able for laying the foundations.
For more detailed information relative to the
progress ot the work, the Council is respectful
ly referred to the monthly report of the Chief
Engineer, a copy of which is herewith submit
ted. ""S'.
The receipts and expenditures ot lhe Com
missioners for the month closing this day, will
appear by the monthly report of the Commis
sioners'Committee on Finance, which is hereto
annexed as a part of this report.
At a called meeting of the Commissioners on
the 18th inst., the resignations ol Messrs. Mann
and Phinizy were laidfoefore lhe Board and ac
cepted. The remaining members of the Board
having understood that many ot their fellow
citizens of Ward No. 1, though originally op
posed to the late amendment of the Canal Or
dinance, would cheerfully acquiesce in the
change if they could be assured that the provi
sions of the amendment would be fairly carried
out, filled one of the vacancies produced by
these resignations, by electing, unanimously, a
highly respectable and influentialgentleman re
siding in that Ward, (Mr. Nicholas Delai
gle,) who had registered his vote against the
change of location of the third level of the Ca
nal. They left the othqr vacancy unfilled with
a view of acting upon tne opinion ot the mem
ber elect in the selection of his colleague.
In thus respectfully and unanimously elect
ing a highly esteemed citizen of Ward No. I,
to unite with them in carrying out lhe provi
sions of the Canal Ordinance, they intended to
do all they could do 10 assure their fellow-citi
zens of that part of the town that t hey were dis
posed and determined to respect their rights as
secured by the amended Ordinance. Having
acted with these feelings, it is with regret they
find themselves obliged to report that the gen
tleman so elected, after some lime taken tor
consideration, declined accepting, thus leaving
the vacancies in lhe Board as they stood before
his election. The Commissioners, not discou
raged by this refusal to accept, will proceed im
mediately to fill these vacancies upon the same
principles that led to I lie election of the gentle
man above referred to—that is to say, they will
tor the present restrict themselves in their se
lection to persons resident or having valuable
interests in the first Ward, who have publicly
expressed their opinions in opposition to the
late amendment of the ordinance under which
they act. Should they fail in this second at
tempt, they will not yet despair of procuring the
services of intelligent and public spirits ! citi
zens in that Ward, who arc willing to devote a
portion of their time to the promotion of an ob
ject deemed to be of vital importance to the
tcAefccily, without distinction of Wards or sec
tions.
All which is respectfully submitted.
H. H. CUMMING, Pres’t A. C. C.
P. S. The Board of Commissioners had a
meeting this morning and unanimously elected
Messrs. John M. Turner and John W. Hnngh
ton to fill the vacant places at the Board. They
have both declined serving.

ENGINEER’S REPORT.
To the Commissioners of the Augusta Canal.
Gentlemen: I am happy to inform you that
no unforeseen difficulty has arisen since my last
monthly report to impede the progress ot the
various works of the Augusta Canal.
The Contractors tor grading the sections, ge
nerally appear anxious to keep or engage suffi
cient forces to execute their several contracts
within the specified lime ;—they have broken
the grounded' about 10-33 ofthe length of lhe
whole line, or about 2J miles.
The extent of grading commenced or com
pleted by each Contractor is as follows:

The Contractor for the dam and guard wall
of section No. 1, informs me that he has made
arrangements for nearly all the timber required
for the dam, and has brought on several good
hands, including carpenters; and also states that
lie will have no difficulty in procuring any
number of men that may be necessary.
The Contractor for Culverts is at present pre
paring the foundation and delivering material
for the Culvert at Longstreet’s Branch.
The Contractors lor the masonry at Rae’s
Creek aqueduct are quarrying rock, and intend
sinking the pits lor obtaining foundations in a
few days.
I have ascertained that there are several con
tractors now engaged on the Rail Roads in this
Stale who are accustomed to bridge building,
and who will visit the Canalas soon as their
present contracts are finished. 1 therefore re
spectfully recommend that the bridges and other
small works of a like character be reserved for
the present, and if possible until the fall or win
ter, when timber can be procured in a better
stale for insuring durability.
Respectfully submitted,
C. O. SANFORD, Chief Engineer.

Correspondence of the North, American.
New York, August I—P. M.
There is nothing of interest to-day in the way
of local news worth relating.
In the Stock market there is an improve
ment, but no great increase of sales. Penn
sylvania s’s have sold at 77, which is within a
point ot the highest range tor some years.—
Government stocks sell at full prices, but the
market is not active.
Cotton is no higher, but holders are very firm
and the sales quite active. Holders of Sugars
are much firmer, and small sales are making
at prices that show a firm market. Molas
ses, 100, is a little more firmly held. Flour
,s a ,I’Rle belter—fresh Genesse $4,31 a 4,37:
Whiskey 22J cents, more asked.
Growth of Louisville.—A correspondent of
the Baltimore Patriot writing from Louisville,
Ky., under date of the 25th July, says:
“Louisville is fast improving. There are
now in the city about 45,000 persons, and still
on the increase. Never before have we wit
nessed the same ad vancement of the city—houses
are going upin all directions, and agreat many
contracts are already made for the next year.
During the present season more houses have
been erected than ever before in the same length
of time. We a r e unable to see the cause—the
wise men attribute it to the effect ot the tariff,
and unless it is that, we shall have to consider
it an effect known onlv to Him who rules the
destinies of all things.”
Horrible Fate of a Bridal Party.—The
Bellville (Ohio) Advocate ot the 17th ult. gives
a full account ol a melancholy loss of life at
tending a bridal party. It appears that the 11th
ot July was the day appointed tor the marriage
of Chas. 11. Kctller, Esq , of Prairie du Long,
Monroe county, to Miss Rosalie Huelberg, de
ceased, of Dutch Hill, about ten miles distant,
on the east side of the Kaskaskia river.—
Intervening about halfway is the river, which 1
then was very high, and had overflowed its
banks.
After awaiting the arrival of the bride and her
relatives at lhe place appointed tor the marriage,
until nearly' evening, a messenger arrived with
the dreadful tidings that all, except lhe father
and son, were drowned on their way to the wed
ding—five women—the toother, the bride, two
Sisters and a young female friend in their com
pany’, had met their deaths.
It seems that Mr. Huelberg, the father, had
risen early on the day before, and with his fami
ly started lor the place. One carriage contained
them, and as they approached the river, where
the ferry was awaiting them, and were crossing
the bottom on the road, which was covered with
water, the horses were turned off, oversetting
the carriage and its passengers into a deep slough
or ravine. The water was running rapidly.
The father clung to the’vehicle—the son to a
cluster of bushes, and were saved.
By lhe assistance of some hunters, the bodies
were recovered; each corpse was taken up and
placed on a bier, and the sad procession, by 7
o’clock in the evening, had reached the house
of feasting—thus suddenly changed to a house
of mourning. The feelings of this wedding
party—ol the aged father, whose grey hairs are
going down in sorrow to the grave, fora family
thus annihilated-of lhe brother, who mourns
tor his mother anti all his sisters, thus struck
down together in his presence—of a lover whose
heart is riven as a thunder bolt—the feelings
and emotions of these can neither be imagined
or described,
On the next day one grave was dug for five
persons—and side by side were laid the mother,
with herthree daughters, and their young friend
and companion, Miss Dressel.
The funeral was attended by a vast assem
blage of the neighboring country, and the fune
ral sermon was preached by the Rev. A. Deny,
Lutheran preacher, of Bellville, who had attend
ed for a very different service. Tears coursed
down the faces ol both preacher and auditory
during its delivery, and the hearts of all were
impressed by the affecting scene. “ What sha
dows we are, and what shadows we pursue!”
The Cambria.—The Boston Courier in no
ticing the passage of the Cambria says:
She arrived at her dock at East Boston at five
o’clock, making lhe shortest Western passage
across lhe Atlantic ever accomplished. She
left Liverpool at forty-five minutes after eleven
o’clock, on the J9th, and arrived at Halifax at
twenty minutes after four o’clock, A. M. on
the 29th; left Halifax at twenty-five minutes
after six o’clock, A. M., on the 29th, and being
detained half a day by fog on the passage, arri
ved at this port as above stated, in 11 days and
5j hours,’from port to port.
This is twenty hours shorter than lhe quick
passage of the Hibernia, which arrived Septem
ber 1,1844, and twenty-one and three-quarter
hours shorter than the last passage of this same
vessel, which was completed on the first ol
June.

United States and Mexico.—The Wash
ington Union, the official organ ot Mr. Polk’s
administration, quotes some speculations re
specting the probable course of Mexico from
the New Orleans Bulletin, and remarks—
We understand that our government has no
recent accounts from Mexico. It has no posi
tive means of knowing at this time what course
Mexico will pursue in this new crisis; and be
sides, all the general elements of calculation
are disturbed by its revolutionary condition,
and the instability of councils which such a
stale of affairs brings along with it We shall
probably hear something definite in a lew days;
and whether Mexico will offer us the olive
branch on the sword, no one can positively un
dertake to say. But we confess we lean, as tar
as advised, to the opinion of the Bulletin, and
have our doubts—in spite of all pronunciamen
tos, manifestos, (resolutions and menaces—
whether she will rush into a war with the Uni
ted States.
Seizure.—lt appears that the mystery is at
last cleared up, as to the object of the stay of
Mr. O. S. Deal born, one ot the inspectors of
the Boston Custom House, in this city for a
fewdays past. On thttrsday last, he seized two
lots of wool, which had been entered, one at
Boston and the other at New York, under false
invoices. One tot was in the possession of the
Lowell Carpet Company, and the other in that
ot the Hon. Royal Southwick, but nol imported
by them. The wool should have paid 30 per
cent, duty and 3 cents per pound, instead of
which it paid but 5 per cent. —How much there
is ot it we have not been able to ascertain.—
Lowell Advertiser.
Extensive Folly.—Rev. Mr. Dear, Baptist
missionary, states that the Chinese are sup
posed to spend $360,000,000 for incense to burn
before their idols. This is one dollar for every
inhabitant of the empire, old and young; and it
is only tor a single item in lhe support of ido
latry.

House for the month of July, amount to 31,888,-
794.31, against 32,184,418.88, during the corres
ponding month last year, showing a decline of
3315,624.57.
Importing States.—lt appears from a docu
ment prepared at the Treasury Department dur
ing the late session of Congress, of which an
abstract is given in the Boston Daily Adverti
ser, that the amount of duties on imports into
the State ot New York, from the year 1791 to
1843, inclusive, was 414,586,002, and the duties
on tonnage $1,512,563. The aggregate of ex
penses of collection was $10,906,071.
The amount of import duties paid in Mas
sachusetts in the same period, was $200,250,958,
and ot tonnage duties $1,288,837; expenses of
collection, at a much larger number of ports
than in New York, $6,324,916.
The amount of duties paid in the same pe
riod on imports into the State of Pennsylvania,
was 864,880,079; tonnage duties $584,658|; ex
penses of collection $3,613,591.
The value of goods imported into the State
ol New York in the year ending June 30, 1844,
was $65,079,516, or about three-fifths of the
«' ole amount of imports into the United States.
e value imported into Massachusetts, in the
ue year, was $20,296,007, making nearly
half the residue. The imports into Pennsylva

“ Will you muzzle the ox that treadeth out

It has been so long since we made our paper
lhe medium through which toaddress an appeal
to our friends and patrons, to loose their purse
strings, we feel confident they will believe that
an urgent necessity now impels us to a course
so repugnant to our feelings.
As money is the great moving power to all
enterprises, so it is essential to the press—there
fore, to render a press efficient in any cause, this
important ingredient to its success should not be
wanting. For ourselves we only ask that
which is due us, and if our friends who are in
debted to us, will but adjust their accounts
promptly, our mind will be easy on that score,
and we shall be prepared to render our paper as
acceptable to those whose principles it advocates,
as our humble abilities will permit. We be
lieve we may say with truth, that we have
never been wanting in zeal, however our facul
ties may have been cramped lor the want of
means. To our Whig friends then we say, as
you love and cherish your principles, and de
sire to see them sustained, withhold not from
■us that thou owesl. For it is the hope ot re-
labor.
jJßßflpas it that your papers primed on
go to the offices abr ve this the same
night, while they do not come to the
Double Wells until Friday night?”
In reply to the above inquiry from one of our
subscribers at " Double Wells,” we state that
we have called at lhe Post Office in this city,
and have been informed that the mail forthat of
fice is made up only three times a week, Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays. Hence lhe de
lay in receiving our papers.
The Mails.—Complaints have also reached
ed us of the non-reception of our papers on the
route via. Appling and Washington to Lexing
ton, and also via. Darby’s, Lincolnton, &c., to
Carnesville, which we learn has been caused
by lhe failure of lhe contractorto take the mails
from the office in this city.
In reference to the latter route, the recent
change in the departure of which from th is city
has caused such a general complaint along the
entire line, we would suggest to each and all
the Postmasters on the route, to petition the
department to order the departure of the mail
from this city on Friday instead of Thursday
morning. This will secure the transportation
of our weekly paper the day after its publica
tion, whereas, it now remains in the office in
this city seven days under the present mail ar
rangement.
We drew up a petition to this effect some
days ago and dropped it in the office, and we
presume (be Postmasters on the route will re
ceive it whenever the mail service is resumed.
We hope, therefore, that they will use all pos
sible despatch in signing it and forwarding it to
the departmental Washington.
The Prospect Before Us,
Is one which no intelligence, that has yet
reached us from any section ol the Slate, has
served in the slightest degree to dim. From all
quarters that we have heard, the people have
an abiding confidence in lhe triumphantsuccess
of Gov. Crawford. And why should it be
otherwise ? His administration has been mark
ed as well for its mildness and moderation, as
for the distinguished ability with which he has
directed lhe helm of Slate. A plain, unpretend
ing republican himself, believing that govern
ments are instituted for the benefit of the people,
he has, in the exercise of that homely virtue,
economy, sought to distinguish his administra
tion of the affairs of the State tor its faithful
guardianship over the people’s treasure. In
this he has been as successful as his efforts to
restore her tarnished faith and honor have been
triumphant. He succeeded to the office which
he has filled with so much ability, without any
other pledges to the people, than those which a
long public career of usefulness had guarantied.
How those pledges and the just expectations of
a confiding constituency have been redeemed,
let the present condition of the State’s finances,
honor, public faith and cred it, as compared with
the period when he assumed the responsibility
ot his office, answer. And to this answer we
beg you, People of Georgia! in sober earnest
ness, to give heed.
That he has been faithful, honest, and true to
the Constitution, guarding carefully all the great
interests of the State, with an eye to her glory
and the prosperity ol lhe people, no rational man
who values his reputation for veracity will gain
say. Is it prudent, then, People of Georgia, is
it the part of wisdom, to turn out such a man,
to elevate to the station one who is untried, and
in whose administration you cannot possibly
confide so implicitly as in that ol Gov. Crawford?
And for what, let us ask, would you turn him
out, if indeed a majority ot you be so disposed,
which we do not believe ? Is it because, say
you, he wields his patronage for the benefit of a
part}', and nut for the State ? He has no pa
tronage, which could exercise a prejudicial in
fluence upon the politics of individuals. Is it
because he is a Whig, and entertains notions
different from a portion of his fellow-citizens,
in reference to a Tariff, a Bank, the Distribu
tion of the Proceeds of the Public Lands among
lhe States, and some other questions of purely
national concernment?
In all sincerity we ask, what has the Gover
nor of Georgia to do with these questions? He
can have no influence in the adjustment ol these
questions in the Congress of the United States.
Why then introduce them into this canvass?
Why mingle state with national politics in a con
test involving only the local affairs ofthe State?
These are questions upon which every voter
should deliberate—they are questions which
come home to every man in Georgia, who has
any interest at stake in the management of her
affairs, and it behooves every man who desires
to secure a good, wise, mild and economical
government, to reflect upon them maturely.
What, then, it all these things be true- —and
we do not apprehend their denial, much less
their refutation—can be the inducements to turn
out of office a faithful and vigilant public ser
vant, to place in his stead another of whom you
know but little ? Can it be the mere fiat of par
ty, that controls your action? if so, then, in
deed, are you driven to an extreme of folly that
we did not suppose you capable ot attaining.
But a truce for the present, we shall renew
the subject frequently during the and
we expect to speak to you in the language of
soberness and truth, in reference to all matters
of public concernment, and we shall continue
to indulge the hope, that our warnings may not
pass unheeded by an intelligent and reflecting
people, who should desire a wise, and economi
cal administration ot the affairs of the State.
March of the Second Dragoons.—We
learn from the N. O. Picayune ofthe Ist inst.,
that lhe 2d regiment ol U. S. Dragoons, under
Col. Twiggs, took up the line of march for
Texas from Nachitoches on lhe 25th ult.—
The Chronicle says that they are to be station
ed at San Antonio de Bexar, and we would
remark that a more healthy or beautiful loca
tion coukl hardly be found. We would give
a tolerable good horse to see lhe dragoons, with
Cioffi’s band in advance, ride past Flores’s
Rancho on the Gaudalupe, and afterwards enter
the old and romantic town ot San Antonio.—
Will there not be excitement among the Mexi
can portion of the population of a place that has
stood some half dozen sieges within the last ten
years, and which has been alternately in the
possession of the Texans and their own people?
We shall look tor an account of their entry with
interest.
Hain in Savannah.—The Savannah Repub
lican of Tuesday morning says:
“ Since Saturday we have had the most tre
mendous outpouring of lhe clouds that has ta
ken place in a twelve month or more. If lhe
rain extended into the interior, as we have no
doubt it did, lhe rivers and creeks will be full
to overflowing. The wind was quite high yes-1
terday, which makes us tear tor the cotton wop.
-J.iIMW.SWM_..., ..
Such a tremendous rail), followed by a blow,
at this season of the-year, cannot bill to have
an injurious effect upon life cotton plant.”
The True Issues.
It is amusing to watch the efforts of the demo
cracy to sink all local questions in lhe approach
ing elections, in Georgia-to divert lhe public
ind from lhe present legitimate issues to na
tional politics. They rave, they fret and taunt
the Whigs with a disposition to shrink from the
avowal and discussion of their principles. It
is no go. The national principles of the
Whig party are well known to the whole
people of Georgia, and firmly and honestly
maintained by, we believe, a majority of
the legal voters of the Slate; and when
the people shall be called upon to elect
agents to carry out their will in the national
councils, the Whigs will be found, as they
have been ever heretofore, ready, willing and
able to defend and maintain them. Even Texas
is made again to stalk the stage—after having
bagged the fox and skinned him, they desire a
new chase after the “brush” (excuse us if you
please.) The position ot the Whig party is well
known to lhe country, upon this question.—
Texas is annexed ; she is a part of our country;
she will now be maintained in all ol her rights
and privileges as firmly by the Whig party of
Georgia and the Union,as any one ot the old
thirteen Slates. The time, the terms and the
mode of annexation are questions which have
tor ever passed from the control or action of the
legislative department of the government. As
truly and eloquently expressed by the Whig re
presentative from the city of Boston, (Mr.
Winthrop) “Our country, whether bounded by
the Sabine or the Del Norte, it is still onr coun
try, and will be cherished in our hearts and de
fended by our hands."—These are (he opinions
of the Whig party upon the subject ot Texas.
Upon the questions to -abjiSauk, Tariff’ and
Distribution of the proceeds of the Public
Lands, the Whigs stand where they did last
year,* and expect their representatives in Con
gress to carry out their principles. But we are
told that the Tariff is to be “modified" and the
sub-treasury settled upon the country. This
election in Georgia will not affect these re
sults in any way, no matter how it goes. But
the publie will do well to remember, that when
the Tariff act of 1842 was passed, one long,
loud howl was raised by the democratic press
throughout lhe South, and they called upon the
people to put them into power and they would
repeal it I Yes, Repeal! Repeal! was the battle
cry I
They succeeded to power and left the Tariff
where they found it! Now the Democratic or
gans, from lhe “ Union” down, begin to mince
about “ modifying"—yen, "modifying" the Ta
riff'. We no longer hear the bold words “ re
peal," “repeal" but “modify’’ is the word. Ev
ery honest, intelligent man in Georgia knows,
that the only object ol this change ol terms by
lhe Democratic party, isto enable them to skulk
from their pledges without performing them.
Protective duties will be maintained, mark the
prediction. They may reduce here, and alter
there, and “modify" somewhere else, but “a
protective Tariff" will still stand upon the
statute book I
The people will also do well to remember,
that although some of the Democracy now talk
of the Sub-Treasury, they dared not doit before
the last election. Mr. McDuffie and Mr. Co
hen, last fall in this city, both announced them
selves in favor ol the "present slate of things."
They dared not avow their preference before
the election for the odious and exploded Sub-
Treasury scheme. “Oh no! they never men
tioned it.” They were willing to “ take any
form but that.” They remembered 1840. Let
their friends profit by their example.
The Democracy are likely enough to have a
plenty of national politics before the next Con
gress adjourns. They will doubtless become as
sick of Federal as they are now in Georgia of
State politics, before the ctoseof the next Con
gress. “But sufficient unto the day is the evil
thereof.”
Come, gentlemen,square upto lhe direct issues
now before the people. if you should succeed,
tell us bow you ezpeclKi carryout our Stale
government—what are your objections to the
policy and executive conuu.* of Gov. Crawford
—how will you alterfor the better, the action of
the Whig Legislature of 1843. Show your
hands, that the people may judge and act un
dcrstandingly upon questions so vital to their
interests, their prosperity and their honor.

Thk Laurel Factory.—ln the American
Farmer, published by Samuel Sands, Esq., of
Baltimore, we find an interes ing history of the
establishment of Laurel factory, from which we
make the following extract, which willdoubth -s
be read with general interest:
In 1836, a period ot only nine years, Col. Ca
pron came into possession ot the farm on which
the Laurel factory is established: it is situated
about midway between Baltimore and Wash
ington, about a quarter ot a mile to the right of
the Washington railroad. Like many other
Maryland farms, when it came into Col. C’s.
possession it was worn out—its fields having
peen robbed of their fertility by successive crops
ot corn and tobacco, unaided by manure. To
speak iu the sober language of truth, the farm
was then only valuable for its fine water power.
Since then, however, by dint of perseverance,
by the liberal use of various fertilizers, and ju
dicious culture, he has covered those so recent
sterile acres with verdure so rich as to give as
surance that the soil, in gratitude tor the kindly
interest of its present owner, is about to return
to those wonted capacities which marked its
virgin powers.
Though the culture of the earth was a second
ary consideration with Col. Capron, lhe atten
tion he has thus far bestowed upon it has nota
bly served to improve the general aspect of the
beautiful village, which he has, in so short a
period brought into existence, and we have no
doubt, that the good example which he has set—
the evidence he has afforded, of the facility, by
good culture, with which the earth may be re
stored to fruitfulness—will exert a most benefi
eent influence upon his neighbors—for such suc
cess as has attended his efforts cannot fail to
exeile a spirit of laudable ambition among them.
Beside the mansion house in which Col. Ca
orour esides, which is situated upoaaneminence,
surrounded by a fine lawn and garden, tilled
with ornamental trees, shrubbery and flowers,
he has erected 50 blocks of two story stone
houses, each competent for tour families. To
each of these is attached a vegetable garden in the
tear, with a beautiful yard in front, tastefully
laid out in parterres ot choice flowers. These
houses accommodate a population of 2000 souls,
all of whom derive support from Colonel Ca
pron’s factory, where from 700 to 800 find con
stant and lucrative employment, a large portion
ol whom are females. That those who labor
for him may not be without the means of intel
lectual, mora’, and religious instruction, Col.
Capron has erected a school house, which he
has provided at his own expense with a compe
tent teacher—here the children receive their
education gratuitously, while their parents and
other relations are liberally paid for their work
in his factory. A Catholic chapel, and a Me
ffiodist meeting house, have been erectedby him,
which are well attended on the Sabbath.
Ol the hands employed in his factory and ma
chine shop, about 150 of them are males, who
average sl} per day; the foremen of rooms re
ceive $2 per day. The females, according to
their age and employment, receive from sl2 to
820 per month, being an average of sl6 a month.
The board of the men is $lO per month, that of
the females from $5 to $6. From lhe data here
furnished, it wi'U be seen that the pay of the es
tablishment is upon the most liberal tooting, it
being the policy of its worthy and enlightened
proprietor to place it within the power ot his
hands to lay something by for a rainy day. We
were pleased to learn that many of the girls had
each already saved from their earnings many
hundred dollars, which was safely invested.—
The factory consumes 3000 lbs. of cotton daily
which as one pound ofthe raw material will
make 3j yards, the manufacture is equal to 10,-
000 yards a day, 60,000 a week. As Col. Ca
pron pays well, he can always command the
best workmen, and it is not saying aught too
much in his praise, when we state that the fa
brics of the Laurel enjoy a very high reputa
tion. The monthly pay-roll of the establish
ment amounts to between 8 and $9,000.
From the Southern Recorder.
‘ Schoolmaster’in Reply to ‘ Piney Woods.’
no. a.
Messrs. Editors:— Resuming my reply to
"Piney Woods,” it is proper to notice the sig
nificance ot his remarks, that the next Legisla
ture will be called upon to appropriate “$32,000
more to pay all the debts of that institution." It
is impossible to ascertain correctly the amount
of indebtedness ot that institution. A commit
tee of the last Legislature reported, that the
officers then in charge had stated lhe debts at
$35,000; since that time, debts, it is said, have
been ascertained, amounting to upwards of
320,000 more. The “Finance Committee,”
in their report, page 3, say, “ the whole amount
($32,000) has been applied to that object, (pay
ment ot debts,) and yet a very large debt is left
outstanding and unpaid, and which was due at
lhe time ot the appropriation, besides the entire
interest due on the debt unpaid.” The com
mittee here speak of a very large debt due at the
time of making this appropriation; rumor
speaks of $20,000 as that debt, and “ Piney
Woods,” who no doubt has correct information
from his party, says it is 'likely' that $32,000
more may be required to pay all the debts which
the Penitentiary owes. I shall not question
lhe truth of what he says, because the Finance
Committee have told us, that there is a ‘very
large debt' left unpaid, and the Penitentiary has
paid out ot its own funds already $9,000 more
than was reported to the Committee of the Le
gislature as being due. This is a most as
tounding fact; tie people cannot understand
why the whole of lhe debts were not reported to
the Committee. Perhaps it was from ignorance
of their true amount, inasmuch as no record
was required to be kept of them. Be these facts
as they may, one thing is established; that the
waste and extravagance of the Democrats in
managing the Penitentiary, is greater than
what “Schooltoaster” at first slatedit to be.—
He showed from the laws, that in four years
there had been appropriated for the support and
debt of the Penitentiary, $74,500
“ Piney Woods” admits an additional
debt ot 20,000
Which makes $94,500
spent in touryears, over and above the ordinary
income.
Here is an annual loss of $23,650. Now
contrast this with Gov. Crawford’s administra
tion for nine months, making a clear profit of
$6,744 52! Can it be possible that “Piney
Woods,” with any love for his country, with
one spark of patriotism burning in his bosom,
can wish the people to turn Goy. Crawford out
of office, and restore to power a party which
fleeces them of their hard earnings' in this
wasteful manner? lean tell him the people
do not agree with him in his wishes. He has
high ambition to serve. He wishes no doubt
to occupy Gov. Crawford’s place himself; but
let me say to him, wait, the people who pay
the taxes desire first to take care of themselves,
and then, should a convenient season arrive,
they may call for you.
But l am informed that no farther appropria
tions will likely be called for. A gentleman
who holds one ol lhe debts not provided for, in
formed me that Col. Redding was paying up lhe
old debts as fast as he could; that be applied all
the income beyond payment for necessary sup
plies, to the extinguishment of these old debts ;
and he likewise informed me that there was
one debt of SIO,OOO due by the Penitentiary,
which was not reported to the Legislature at
all. This fact is corroborative of the insinua
tion of “Piney Woods,” that likely $32,000
more would have to be appropriated to pay all
its debts.
“ Piney Woods” has made so many errors
of fact, that it would swell my communication
to an inordinate length, were I to attempt to cor
rect all. Some few I must notice to show the
general character of his articles. The one
which I shall now notice is that where he says
the amount of " stock and materials on hand,
$44,452,” was turned over to Gov. Crawford.
Whoever will read tor himself, will see that
“Piney Woods,” knew when he made the
statement, that it was nol true. In House Jour
nal of 1843, page 299, from which he drew his
statement, the Committee on the Penitentiary,
in their report say, “ By exhibits furnished the
Committee by the officers in charge of the in
stitution, it appeals that there is now due to
individuals, $35,(100. Due the institution in
paper, considered collectable, $3,000
Finished work on hand, at marked price, 14,000
Stock on hand, 17,000
Making $34,000
Here the committee expressly declare the
value to be but $34,000. But lhe minority of
the committee, at page 302, say: “They (the
stock and manufactured articles on hand) are
reported at $44,452. These, if the experience
of former years be taken as a criterion, must
be sold at a heavy sacrifice, perhaps al half
their estimated value. Now, “Piney Woods”
had both these statements before him—both told
him that $44,452 was not the value of the stock,
&c. He personally knew that lhe amount was
not correct. He personally knew that in that
sum were included debts to a very large amount,
which were utterly worthless—debtors broke
and dead, and others runaway. He personally
knew that ol the article of'“ stock” there was a
large amount valueless. It consisted in part
ol the accumulation of refuse lumber which
had been accumulating tor years, and was fit
forfirewood only—of other materials which had
been on hand years, and consequently much
deteriorated; and he personally knew that much
of the manufactured articles were not worth one
half oi what they were marked at. These are
facts which all men who visit the Penitentiary
at Milledgeville, either Whig or Democrat,
know. And yet, knowing these facts himself,
he solemnly declares to the public that Gov.
Crawlord received during his administration,
stock &c. worth $44,452; and that lhe people
have been taxed during that administration
that sum, on account of the Penitentiary. Com
ment is unnecessary with such facts. I leave
ta an impartial public to decide what confi
dence is to be reposed in the statement of a
writer who thus wilfully deceives those who
confide in him. To makeup this sum of which
“Piney Woods”speaks, there was included an
item of “old notes, accounts, &c., 817,594 07;”
of this sum only $1,500 have ever been collec
ted! He says that the profits ot the Peniten
tiary consist in the sale of the “ manufactured
articles” turned over! This, 1 must say to
him again, he knew was not so. A portion
has been sold, and the amonnt, with that col
lected on notes &c., amounting to $12,000, has
been applied to the payment of debts contracted
by his party, and not provided tor in the appro
priation of $32,000. During the last four years
of Democratic rule at the Penitentiary, there
were, upon an average, annually 155 convicts.
It cost the people, besides their labor, $23,650
in the shape of taxes; and in the first nine
months ot Gov. Crawford’s administration he
made them pay a profit upon their labor of
$6,744 52; and if “Piney Woods” will apply
at (be “ right source,” he will learn that for the
first nine months of the present vear they have
again made large profits to the State. This is
a frightful contrast, upon which “Piney
Woods” must look; and well does he know
that it will prove ruinous to his party if the
people are permitted to believe the truth. But
I can tell him that the people do know the gene
ral fact that a great reform has been effected by
Gov. Crawford; and knowing this, they do
believe that the facts which I have staled must
be true, or else reform could not exist—and
manv a fervent prayer ascends that the party
which has wasted and squandered lhe public
money may never again be placed in power to
repeat their evil deeds.
“Piney Woods” declares that he asserts,
'■ fearless of contradiction," that the Penitentiary
is now as much an expense to the Slate as ever.
This assertion provokes no surprise; for the
public have already concluded, that he who
can make such statements as have emanated
trom his pen, is fearless of contradiction, and in
sensible to the shame of exposure; and with the
facts which have been presented, I will ask
every honest man if he thinks that “Piney
Woods” would swear to the truth of even one
statement that he has made? The Bible en
joins upon us not to “bear false witness against
onr neighbor;” Piney Woods” has broken that
sacred commandment—and he has been the in
strument of deceiving his own friends upon lhe
subject. He has induced the editors of his
parly to adopt bis statements as true, and to en
dorse them, relying upon his character as a
gentleman for their ti'tith. He has deceived
them ; they have deceived others—bill yet rctii
bution will overtake him.
I will leave “Piney Woods” to bis reflec
tions for the present. He stands under an aw
ful condemnation for his misiepresentanon;
and if he can rest under them, he must be insen
sible to conscience and to shame. The issue
which is between us is, whether the Peniten
tiary has been a source of profit to the State
under Gov. Crawford’s administration—the
Schoolmaster asserted and proved that it had—
“Piney Woods” has failed to meet the proof.
He can have access to the “ right source,” to
disprove it if he can. I challenge him to attempt
its denial. I dare him to call at the “right
source," and I now tell him it he will, that he
will learn that the Penitentiary last year, made
a profit to the State of several thousand dollars
—that it has done lhe same this year. And he
will further learn, that the annual appropria
tion of $9,000 tor this year will not be re
quired—that it will be in the Treasury to
meet the expenses of the next year—that
the keeper has borrowed from it $l,lOO
for lhe purpose of purchasing sole-lea
ther for shoes, their stock not being ready,
on account of the recent establishment of the
lan yard, and a large qnantity of upper leather
being ready for making shoes—that he has $4,-
000 worth ot negro shoes to meet it—that as
soon as the shoe season commences he will re
turn it, and that on the first day ol Decem
ber the whole $9,000 will be in the Treasury,
and not one cent needed for the support of
the Penitentiary—that after returning this tem
porary loan, and supporting itself, the Peniten
tiary will have several thousand dollars of clear
profits “subject to the order of the State,” with
which either to reduce the public debt, or to pay
the debts of the institution which your party
contracted. Now, sir, I dare you to make the
call; and if you do not, the public will know
that you fear to meet the facts.
PHILO SCHOOLMASTER.
From the N. O. Picayune ofj.be Ist inst,
N ews from Mexico.
By the arrival yesterday of the schr. Equity,
Capt. Smith, from Matamoros, we have dates
from that city to lhe 2lstofJuly. Among her
passengers was Theodore A. Maltby, one of
the Texan Mier* prisoners. He was badly
wounded in the head at that desperate and san
guinary fight, and after lying many months in
Mexican hospitals has finally reached his na
tive land in safety.
A letter received by a commercial house in
this city dated or. the 20th ult., states that a new
tariff will shortly go into operation much lower
than the old one.
By this arrival we received no papers, but
verbally we learn that there are but 5 or 600
badly fed troops in the neighborhood ot Mata
moros—discontented fellows, who would run
away at once if they knew where to go. Their
commander, Gen. Garcia, received an order a
short time since to build a fort in the neighbor
hood which would afford protection to the city.
He picked out a soft spot, where the digging
was easy, and set his men at work; but it is
stated that a vessel can approach within three
hundred yards without being seen, and throw
bombs into lhe fortification until doomsday with
out the least risk. This thing of selecting a
site for a fortress because it happens to be easy
digging, we believe to be a new wrinkle in mil
itary science.
One gentleman, who has recently travelled by
land from the city of Mexico to Matamoros, in
forms us that the inhabitants in many parts, as
well as the public journals, talk openly, and
with the usual bombast and fanfaronade, of in
vading Texas and the United States at once.
The undertaking is looked upon as one ofthe
easiest and simplest things imaginable—to ad
vance and vanquish, clean as they go, even as
far as Washington City, is deemed mere holi
day work. It would be advisable to bring able
engineers along with them, as many of the
rivers between the Rio Grande and the Poto
mac are difficult to cross, to say nothing ol other
obstacles. The facts are, that the Mexicans
took lor great assistance from Great Britain in
a war with the United States, and perhaps with
some show of reason; but even without this
expectation, they would still indulge in their va
poring gasconade.
Our informant states that Gen. Paredes was
at San Luis Potosi when he came through, and
had in the neighborhood of 5000 troops with
him. These were tolerably well unitormed,
and the horses of the cavalry were in fair con
dition. After arriving at Monterey, our infor
mant heard that Paredes was on his march to
wards that place. He has always been intem
perate, though a brave officer, and is said to be
now more addicted to liquor than ever.
Gen. Atista, who is in bad health, is still at
Monterey, and has about 3000 half-starved sol
diers with him. They are mostly cavalry, but
their horses are represented as mere skeletons,
not having had any other food than grass for
some time, and that being indifferent in the
neighborhood. Arista can hardly obtain money
enough from the Government to purchase pro
visions even for himself and officers, to such
straits is he driven, while the poor soldiers are
obliged to pick up a scanty subsistence as best
they can. Two anecdotes have been told us,
which show the wretched condition ot lhe Mex
ican treasury and the extreme poverty ofthe
officers of the army. One of lhe latter lately
sold his only blanket to an American for half its
value, the purchaser not wanting it but giving
him the money as he stated he was absolutely
in want ofthe necessaries of life. Another offi
cer asked a gentleman for the loan of ten dol
lars, and on being questioned as to what securi
ty be could give, offered his wife, a young and
pretty woman of some sixteen years! He had
nothing else to offer, and positively told the
gentleman she mieht remain with him until the
debt was paid! Difficult as it would appear to
be, we fully believe these stories; and these are
the people who talk ot overrunning the United
Stales. Sixty thousand such troops, with sixty
thousand Banks of England to back them, could
neverreach the Mississippi, andyet with half the
number they talk ol taking possession ot Wash
ington.
Arista is in constant receipt of intelligence
Irotn Texas, having an agent who is continual
ly passing backwards and forwards. We have
long known it to be a darling scheme with this
general to effect a union between Texas and
the Mexican States of Coahuila, Tamaulipas
and New Leon—intact with all the Rio Grande
territory lying east or thisside the Sierra Madre.
He has been anxious to separate this section at
least of Mexico from the Central Government;
hut in order to carry out his plans successfully
he knew that he must draw Texas into the
scheme, and that he has corresponded with in
flueniirl men in the latter upon the subject, as
we have intimated above, we know to be true.
The annexation oi Texas to the United States
lias destryed his hopes in that quarter, and what
his future plans are we are unable to say. The
independence scheme he warmly favored, as
this would not materially interfere with his pro
jects. Another thing; we are more than half
inclined to believe that Arista has been deeply
engaged in the smuggling business between
Texas and Mexico, notwithstanding all his pro
clamations against the contrabandists, and that
a large parly of tbe latter have had his secret
protection on both sides the Rio Grande, and
all for a consideration. The appearance of U.
S. troops in the south-west of 'lexas will in a
measure break up this traffic, and this undoubt
edly chafes him. He is a tall, raw-boned man,
red-headed and with sandy whiskers, and looks
like a Scotchman. We know nothing of his
parentage, but he would certainly never be ta
ken for a Mexican.
The traitor Seguin was at Monterey a short
time since on his way to Camargo. He styles
himself captain of the Bexar company, and
probably has a number of San Antonio Mexi
cans under him. Seguin was on the Texan
side at the battle ol San Jacinto, and for a tong
time was hand and glove with the Americans;
but in an evil hour he deserted them, and it is
said that he now bitterly repents him of his
treachery.
The above are all lhe items ofthe least im
portance we have been enabled to glean from
our informants. Ifwecan believe the Mexican
stories, 30,000 men are to advance upon the Rio
Grande, but these stories must be taken not
with grains but pounds of allowance. We
know full well that many of the more influen
tial men in Mexico would not hesitate a mo
ment about plunging the conntry in a war, with
or without foreign assistance, for the sake of the
opportunity it would afford to slip some of the
money raised for its support into their own
pockets; but whether these political gamblers
are to prevail is a question. A few weeks or
months will tell the story.
Rather Marvellous.— The Wonders of Elec
tricity.—The Hartford Courant says, that on
the 26th ultimo, Mr. Fowler of Mansfield, took
a bed at Nottingham, and in the morning was
found apparently dead from poison. The usual
remedies were applied without effect, when
electricity was resorted to. At the first applica
tion ot the conducting wire to the chest of the
patient, he rose up, but gradually fell back again.
At the second shock he rose up, crying out
“Oh,” and then fell back again; but at the
third shock he started up, cryingout “Oh God!”
and sat upright with ease. In a short time
afterwards, he asked for something to drink, and
tea and coffee were administered to him; in
three quarters of an hour he dressed himself,
and appeared almost entirely recovered. He
had purchased two ounces of laudanum, and
had taken the whole of it in two doses. Some
disagreement with his wife is said to have been
the inciting cause.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette,
writing from Indianapolis, says: “The census
just taken of the State ot Indiana shows a re
markable increase ot polls over last year, being
about one hundred and sixty thousand, the re
turns of the last year only numbering one hun
dred and eighteen thousand. The taxable
properly will not be less than one hundred
and twenty-five millions of dollars! And yet
we are told that one people are unable to pay
any portion of the interest on our public debt.”
FOUR Months alter date, appliaation
will be made to the honorable inferior court
of Greene county, when sitting as a court of or
dinary, for leave to sell the lands or apart there
of, Iving in said county, belonging to the estate
of Thomas P. VVagnon, deceased. Sold for the
benefit of the heirs of said estate.

It is bylaw made the duty of all civil officers to demand the pedler’s license, and if he refuses to
showit, to take him up, and deal with him as the law directs. A bare receipt for the payment of
SSO into the Treasury is not a sufficient license. The license contains the oath, the authority, to
peddle, a description of the person of the pedler,and an extract from the penal code in relation to
trading with'slaves. _________
M ARRI ED-
In Harris county, Geo., June 26th, by lhe
Rev. R. T. Marks, Mr.T. W. Rhodes, former
ly of Richmond county, to Miss Margaret M.
Jones, formerly of Virginia.
DIED-
At the residence of his mother, in Warren
county, Georgia, Alexander Adison Lewis,
May 27th, 1845. He was born April Ist, 1822,
embraced religion and joined the Methodist Epis
copal Church tn 1840. Mr. L., some time in the
spring of 1845, was attacked with a disease of
the mouth highly inflammatory in its character.
He had the advice of his medical attendant as to
the best treatment necessary in his case. There
being but little improvement in his health, ano
ther medical friend was called, and under the
joint prescription of the two, there appeared to
be some disposition on the part of the disease to
yield to medical treatment. At this stage of the
disease, there were some symptoms of neu
ralgia, and but few days had passed away before
all doubt was removed as to the nature of the
second attack. A few more days of excruciating
pain, then entered Death with all the paleness of
the tomb, and proclaimed, Mother! thy son is
dead I “ Man is of the dust, and to the dust he
must return.” As a church member, Mr. L. was
consistent. His kind physician informed me
that there was not a murmur heard when he in
formed him of the probability of the near ap
proach of death.
Death has in this act deprived the Church of a
young man who bid fair to be useful to his fellow
men. As a citizen, he stood far above reproach.
While memory endures will the writer of these
lines delight to think upon the many amiable
qualities exhibited in the life of him who is the
subject of this obituary notice. The deceased
has left many relatives and friends who mourn
his death; but they do not mourn as those who
have no hope.
‘■Oh we should cling toe close to earth, and love
Too well its pleasures and delights,
Were there no shadows on its sun of hope,
No sorrows mingled in its cup of joy.
A Friend.
