Itrpubllcau Virginia and Federal .Massa
chusetts.
Al a recent festival in New England’s sea of
learning—Cambridge—Mr. Rives, one of lie
most distinguished of the sons of “ Republican
Virginia,” responded to a complimentary toast
in the following eloquent and beautiful strain.
We quote the rein arks of the talented Virginian,
to show how “Federal Massachusetts’ is esti
mated by one ci the son’s ol the OKI Dominion:
Mr. Rives rose and said he had looked
around him with anxietv to see if there were
not present some son ol Virginia more worth}’
and belter able than himself to return her ac
knowledgements in a fitting manner lor the flat
tering notice ju>t taken of her. He was, in
some sense, “alone in his glory;” and it de
volved upon him, therefore, all unworthy ns he
was, to represent her on such an occasion—to
return, on her beh It, the acknowledgments due
for the cordial and distinguished tribute of honor
and respect just paid to her name. He must
be permitted at the same lime to acknowledge
the deep debt of gratitude he felt lor the kind
ness which had been shown to himself person
ally. He had been taken by the hand as a
brother and admitted to an intimate and unre
served communion with that noble fraternity of
letters, embracing scholars, jurists, statesmen,
and divines, in the commemoration of their
great family festival—introduced, as it were,
Mr. President, into the very penetralia of your
great Temple of Liberty and Learning. It was
a privilege he could not 100 highly esteem, and
he should ever recur to it with pleasute. Both
yesterday and to-dav he had seen, heard, and
felt many things which he should carry home
with him to cherish the remembrance of, to re
flect upon, and to endeavor, if he could, to imi
tate and to practice.
When I refldci, said Mr. R. that those of us
who live remote from you are indebted for so
precious an opportunity to the modern facilities
of locomotion, I cannot but honor what was
said by some of our friends yesterday anil to
day, the inventive and utilitarian genius of the
age, which has thus annihilated space by the
rail-road and the steamboat, and made your no
ble country, in a new and double sense, the land
of pilgrims. it is true, as was remarked by our
humorous young friend yesterday, that in’ this
whirlwind mode ol transportation the natural
landscape flies rapidly from before us; but then
how much more extensive and variegated is the
moral and political landscape it spreads beneath
our view, enabling us, in the language of the
poet, to "catch the living manners as they rise.”
It is this rich luxuriant landscape, in all its
phases of beauty and magnificence, that, for the
two or three weeks 1 have been in New En
gland, I have dwelt upon with mingled senti
ments of pleasure, admiration, sympathy, and
pride, on every hand. I have heheld the mira
clesol progress, development, and I may add
without irreverence, of creation, which have
been wrought out among you by the triumphant
energies of freedom, industry and intelligence.
These grand results are due, I am thoroughly
persuaded, to one fruitful cause, with which
this noble and venerable institution, so justly
consecrated to the public veneration and support
by the sacred provisions of your fundamental
law, stands in intimate and indissoluble connec
tion. I mean popular education—calling forth,
informing, and guiding the energies of the popu
lar arm—universal instruction going hand in
hand with universal industry. Hence it is that
it may he said of you with perfect truth, as it
was said ol you in your early colonial history,
that there are “no drones tn your Northern hives."
Every individual, man, woman and child, con
curs by an active and efficient co-operation in
the advancement ol the general good, and in
building up, sustaining and augmenting the
prosperity and riches of the Commonwealth.
This is the great and valuable lesson in political
economy which the prosperity of New England
proclaims to the world. It is one which we of
the South, 1 trust, shall lay to heart, and “go
and do likewise.”
“I hope,said Mr. R. it will be deemed a not
unnatural and unpardonable weakness when I .
frankly confess before yon that, while beholding
all this glorious spectacle of universal comfort, |
prosperity, intelligence and older, 1 have felt a j
secret and hardly repiessible pride in ih» reflec
tion that the land which yon have thus built up ,
and adorned by your enterprise and genius, once J
bore a common name with my own cherished ,
State, and was part and parcel of Virginia. t
Ours was the earliest colonial charter, and it ex- t
tended from the 31th to the 45th degree of n.rlh (
latitnde. New England was then, in popular as |
well as legal geography. Northern Virginia, and
derived its present distinctive baptismal nan e, ,
if 1 mistake not, from our chivalrous and gal- ,
lant Capt. Smith. Permit me, then'gentlemen, ,
to offer you the following sentiment:
New England. The Northern Virginia ol the .
earliest colonial charter: The “Old Dominion” j
stands upon her ancient rights, and claims her ,
share in the happiness, the renown, the civil ,
and social institutions ol her younger and more
prosperous sister.
Tiik Cotton Crop.—ln this vicinity, says ,
the Vicksburg Southern Intelligencer of the ,
11th inst., the crop is greatly injured by the I
incessant rains for two weeks past, and unless '
there is some change in the weather shortly i
there will not half a crop be made. A very in- <
telligent planter infqrnicd us the other day. itt; J
twenty-four years ot his planting experience, j
his cotton had never suffered so much from '.
rot. I
The Baton Rouge Gazette o r Saturday says: !
“The frequent showers during the week past ,
have proved highly detrimental to the cotton •
crops, which now present a very unfavorable
appearance.”
A Patriotic Donation.—The Pennsylvania
State Treasurer, J. B. Snowden, Esq., announ
ces the receipt of a donation of fifty dtdlais from
anon-resident, but a native of Pennsylvania, to
be approptialed towards the payment of the in
terest of the State Debt.
LoWEf.r, Carpet Manufactures.—One of
the editors ol the Richmond Whig, who has
been spending some lime at the East in the ex
amination of the various manufacturingestab- ;
lishrnents of that prosperous section of our coun
try, describes in One of his a visit
*'\}o the “Lowell Carpet Manufi ■ ' where lie
subtdenly found himself in the,*. jLt of more
than rSix looms, “ftoni which stC'nira to spring,”
he remark- u as if by magic, some of the most
beautiful in wool he had ever seen.” i
He adds:—
Until entering where we found a
large number ol the “B\w e ll Girls” weaving
carpets, I had no concepfhs.,, whatever of the
great perfection to which thislSio,| <,f work has
been brought in this country, \fhe carnets
then being made, by the only powerShmmsantl
first ever known or used, iu any counfNw n . ere
equal in richness ar.d beauty to any thing <>Xa ie
kind it is possible to produce. And I waS<
forcibly struck upon examining the style of car- ,
petiog manufactured at Lowell, to find that it
was the very article that many of our merchants
have to mark “German,” from the tact that
there are many people in this country who
imagine that carpeting cannot be made any
where else than across the waters. That such
an idea is not only prejudicial to American In
dustry, but also exhibits a want ot information, i
Ido not hesitate to say. Why should nut an i
article manufactured iu this country be as good
as that made elsewhere 1 And why should we
not foster our own enterprising artizans in pre
ference to those abroad? !

ing,” by an intelligent youth, who seemed to i
take pleasure in showing me-st——-ome things i

Mr. Meigs stated the efforts made many yeats
ago in France and England, to cause flax to be
spun by machinery wi'h the facility of cotton—
the high premiums offered lor such a discove
ry—that the French, bv very nice examination,
had learned that the flax is composed of fila
ments about three inches long, so lapped on
each other as to appear one fibie; but which,
by chemical agents, would be separated into
their short original staples ol three inches, with
out injuring their strength, and thus rendered
susceptible of all the advantages of the cot'on
staple for spinning by machinery. France
claimed the invention. Still we would invite
the ingenious men of our country to look at it.
Immense would be the advantage if all men
could command at the low’ price ol cotton goods,
the delightful linen sheet, shirt, towel, &e.
Mr. Wakeman bad endeavored, towards the
conclusion ofthe war eflßl‘2. '<> bring about
the machine’s; inning ot tlax. Verv many were
employed. Yet there was some difficulty in it.
The cloth made was tolerable, but some ends of
the broken tit res stuck out, the cloth wasZntcy.
But lhe peace which soon followed, utterly de
stoyed all linen makers. Even flax seed, which
seventy years ago was sent Irom lhe United
States to Ireland, went now no more.
Our cotton yarn, which sold tor one dollar a
pound, now brought but twemv cents, and the
British bounty on the export of linen overpow
ered our poor linen works,; mtccied by only (if.
" teen per cent. duly. Our cotton remained pro
tected by an hundred per eent. duty, ami it
thrived; although the price ot a yard ol cloth
fell Irom twenty-five cents to six or seven cents.
There was a fell ot price in lhe raw cotton
amounting to s<im« two cents a yard.
Chines- Flaw wa . mentioned by Mr. Chapin
as very important tor t.s to know. This grass,
• called flax, is nowsaid to haveeven more valu
able properties than flax, owing to length ol :la-
I fie ami strength of fibre. Goods made qj it
, much resemble French Cambric, and have a
silky appearance. He urged, very properly,
the importance of bringing it to our own coun
try. and adding ,t as a most valuable staple to
the farmers ol America.
A C, uktsuip.—Uncle Sam’s correspondent,
Solomon Piper, thus describes a “ Down East”
courtship:
It seems from that, that arter the old fokes
was gone he didn’t say nothin’, but jest sol a
syin’ and groanin’ as if he was in great distress;
enough to brake the hart of a stun; till Miss
Olelia took pity on hissufferius and axed him
woodent he take sum peperment drops, thinkin’
he had the kawlic, or may be sumthin’ wuss;
and then down he went on his marro’bones, and
told her it wassent the stumick ake but the hart
ake he had, and nobody but she could cure him.
And then he swore a dreadful oath that he’d do
sumthin’desperate if she woodent have him.
Well, what do you think lhe gal dun?—blushed
all manner of kullers, and sed she’d Consider
nn ’ t 7_ O r told him she’d no idee of changin’ her
silivation? No sicb thing. She looks him rite
in the face and axes him, sez she, “ Master
Grubb, docs your mother know you’re out?"
This is tub Doctrine —Elevate the masses.
Build up instead ot pulling down. Equality
means something else than bringing down every
thing that is exalted to the grovelling standard
of ignorance. Let us point ottrsons upward and
on wa rd.
“ Elevate the Masses.— The importance of ma
king every man ot our country a freeholder, can
not be in our judgment too highly appreciated.
It not only places him beyond the contingency
of poverty, but identities him with the interest
and well being of the country, and serves to
make him a better citizen, as well as a happier
man.
“ When education is placed within lhe reach
of the masses, and when they become the owners
of the soil, we need have no fear about the per
petuity ot our freedom, or ot our institutions;
the former will give him a just conception ol the
blessings to be derived Irom freedom, and the
latter the strongest interest that can be needed to
sacredly preserve the same.
The blessings enjoyed by the people with a
proper moral and religious restraint, form the
strongest safeguardagainst external and internal
foe«, that can in any event be made by a nation.
Standing armies, navies and fortifications are
as nothing in comparison; these in lhe hands
of a mercenary soldiery may spread for a time
through any country, destruction; but they are'
not the elements for the building up and pro
tecting permanently a country of treemen. Ele
vating the condition of the masses ought to be
the great desideratum ot our legislators; for in
the accomplishment of this almost every great
object of legislation is attained.”
Interesting Mutes.
In the Perkins Institution for the Blind, near
Boston, which is under the managementofthat
genuine philanthropist, Dr. Howe, there are
two of the in nates who are not only blind but
also deaf and dumb. One ol them, Laura
Brh'.geman, is extensively known from lhe
notices which have been published of her at
various times. The other is a boy named Oli
ver Caswell. A correspondent of the N. Y.
Commercial Advertiser, who visited the In
stitution, furnishes the following interesting
notes respecting them. He was accompanied
by a young lady you has the special charge of
Laura Bridgeman:
My own curiosity was limited in its range
to the doubly afflicted pair, Oliver Caswell and
Laura Bridgeman, whose seeming hard lot and
most wonderful faculty it is to make lhe one
sense of touch perform the duties of three be
sides itself—who talk, and see, and hear with
their fingers as well as feel; and though there
was much to excite emotions ol glad and grate
ful interest in lhe contemplation of so many
blind unfortunates, all cheerful and busy at their
work or study, and seemingly unconscious of
that which appears to us so terrible an inflic
tion, I shall confine myself to the pair whose
history and condition set them apart so comple
tely, notonly from us who have all the senses,
but Irom both lhe classes whose deprivation
calls so loudly upon our sympathy tor aid. We
feel that it must be hard and sad to have no en
joyment or use of sight—or to live unconscious
of the pleasant sounds that thrill along the
nerve ot hearing; but Laura and Oliver can
neither hear nor see.
Our first visit was to Oliver. We found him
alone in his workshop, busily employed in
braiding rope fi r mats. He i% about fourteen
years old, small tor his age, with a pale though
not unhealthy face and good features. Hisex
pressir ti is intelligent and grave. He is very
industrious, fond<_( making liimselfiiseful, and,
like most ofthe inmates of this institution,
seems habitually contented, it not absolutely
cheerlul. His temper is sweet, his disposition
grave. Os course his tange ot ijjeas and ot
subjects tor thought is limited, but his mind is
active though not rapid; he dwells long and
steadily on one subject and will refer to it in
conversation many times. For instance, when
the time approaches for his annual visit to his
tatrfet’Zhouse. Tie wfllTritfoduce the subject ol
his journey every day for two or three weeks
beforehand, taking note of lhe days as they
pass and reckoning up the number of those re
maining. 1 regretted that 1 could not talk with
him ; and the regret was accompanied by some
thing like shame, when I saw the rapidity and
apparent ease with which my companion and
he kept up their conversation—his hand lightly
pressed against hers as her fingers moved swift
ly, each change of their position conveying an
idea to his quick sense, though to m.v eyes they
all seemed to be almost identical with each
other. wf
From Olivei’s sbop”we went into several
others, were making mattresses,
some putting cane seats to chairs, some weaving
ruse a lift others variously employed ;'and it
be close observation that could detect in
their operations tLe wantol thatguiding faculty
which to us appears so indispensable. We
went also into the music room, where are four
■pianos and an organ, and where four young
girls were practicing. One of them sang for
me ; a good vo.ee and tolerable execution.
But 1 will pass over the rest and come at
once tc Lama, ot whom I had read so much
audit horn I had so long desired to see.
Llflta Bridgeman is now fifteen years old ; a
' good figure, just beginning to assume tl.e com
plete and rounded forms of womanhood, and a
lace which though not positively handsome, has
good fetatiresarid charms by its frank, animated
and joyous expression—perhaps still more by the
rapidity .of its changes with every passing
thought and emotion. Her quenched eyes are
covered by a ereen band, and lhe fell disease ol
childhood which blinded her, has left a con
spicuous though not unseemly mark upon one
side ot her face and throat. Os all human
beings I ever saw, she appears to be most full
of nervous susceptibility: she is never still tor
a moment; and as hatexcitement is governed
if not caused by hffjFf sensations, the study
tSljier is not less agreeable than interesting.
. vkfer disposition seemsto overflow with affec-
LionfKhe stands or sits*.vith on’ arm around
the h Pr teaciter, and is perpetually
ki"ir.g iieriSqnd, or gently patting her face, or
lavishing iipor\h.'sflvxpressions of attachment by
r.ioid movements of Wwr loquacious fingers.—
When I saw her re than usually ex
cited, the day being one tor lhe re
ception ot visiters ; if I had hot been there" sne
would have been employed alone in her room,
whereas now she was with henteacber, in
whose companionship she seems tofeke a pas
sionate delight.
She was requested to go through sonic exer
cises on the map, &c. but she was so liJI of
play that she could not retrain Irom indulging
in a variety of little sportive tricks—giving
wrong answers on purpose, with a sly laugh,
and in sundry ways endeavoring, as it seemed,
to entice her teacher into a game of romps in
stead of attending to business. And by n.o way
I wasdelightcd with the kind and gentle gravity
with which her escapades were cheeked and
her mind recalled to the proprieties of the occa
sion.
Laura is to a considerable extent withdrawn
now from associating with lhe other pupils; she
eats at Dr. Howe’s table, and is exclusively
under the training of the young lady I mention
ed at the outset. Her activity of mind is ex
treme nnd her desire to know can scarcely be
satisfied. Shedelights in receiving and writing
letters, and is very lend of going to Boston,
where she is often seen walking rapidly, hand
in hann with her teacher, and conversing as
last as her fingers can move—or rather fly.
Allhough toladv mule and deaf she is capa
ble of tillering various sounds at will, and by
some arbitrary arrangement of her own has
connected these sounds with individuals belong
ing to the institution ; her teacher she calls by
a rapid iteration of the letter P. or rather of the
syllable as in philanthropy.
As she advances toward womanhood she ex
hibits a strong sense of maiden modesty—carry
ing it so tar that she can scarcely be prevailed
>n to shake hands wiih one of the ruder sex;
yet she is fond of being with Oliver, and I was
told that it is quite amusing to see how she en
deavors io overcome his habitual staidness and
gravity, while he is as much pul to it by her
vivacity and resllesness.
But enough of Laura for the present. She
presented so interesting and curious a subject
i t study for me that I am tempted to b -lieve
anv account of her must be agreeable u> your
readers; yet I am aware that many ot them
have probably seen her, an I lest all should find
me tedions 1 break ofl’ in reason.
The little fellow was still pacing along lhe
hall as 1 came cut, still singing cheerily ana
taking matters with most laudable contentment
an t good humor.
Goto Mine in the Town or Cosat.o, in
Mexico.—This is supposed to be the richest
gold mine in the world. It belongs to Signor
Yriarte, who refuses to work it to any great de
gree ot productiveness, because he could not
dispose vltlie immense revenue ii would yield,
ii i'oiiniing to several millions of dollars. He
has now far more than he wants, and says that
his motiev is safest under groiind. Is this wis
dom, or philosophy, or avarice?

Election Returns.—We shall feel obliged
to our friends in the several counties if they
will furnish us early returns ot the election in
their respective counties.
Correction.—ln the communication of
“Atlantic" in our paperot Friday morning,and
which is on the ontsidejof our Weekly of to-day,
an error occurred which we desire to correct.
In the 9th line of the third paragraph read,
“That it intersected the river" instead of “road"
below the most formidable obstructions.
New York Cotton Market.—The Herald
of Sunday morning says :—The news per Bri
tannia has had a very favorable effect upon the
Cotton market. Prices this morning advanced
J to ’ths of a cent, and the sales were to some
extent.
O’ It is officially announced in the govern
ment gazette of Saturday night that Eevi Wood
bury, now one ofthe Senators in Congressfrom
the State ot New Hampshire, has been ap
pointed by the President ofthe United States
to be one of the Associate Judges (Judge of the
Supreme Court) in the place of Joseph Story,
deceased.
The Cassville Pioneer.
In the last number ofthe Cassville Pioneer,
the editor says, “ it has been rumored, that Gov.
Crawford is so entirely under Hie influence ot
the Georgia Railroad Company, in which we
believe he is interested to the amount of eighty
shares, that he intends selling the State Road,
in the event ot Mr. McAllister election,” in or.
derto benefit the Georgia Railroad and the city
of Charleston. The editor also says—“lf this
rumor is true (aud we pen this article that il
maybe nfilled if false) we can call lhe intended
tret nothing but treason,” &c. His article then
winds up with an appeal to the people to fight
valiantly against this supposed treason, and
against the “grasping corporation” that is to be
benefitled by it. Now all tre have to say in re
ply to such a rumor is, that it is false. Governor
Crawford does not intend to sell lhe Railroad
if Mr. McAllister is'etecied—and when tie did
offer it for sale in 1844, he limited the line for
receiving proposals to the Ist March, 1845. The
conditions 100 upon which he would receive
bids were advcitised in the newspapers, and
among them was the following:
"The purchaser shall give equal privileges
and facilities io lhe Monroe Railroad and Geor
gia Railroad companies in lhe transfer of pas
sengers and properly, and any discrimination
whatsoever adopted or permitted in favor of ei
ther ot said branch roads, with respect, to the
place of unloading the cars, the granting of free
tickets to agents of either branch road, the selling
of what is called a through ticket to passengers,
or for property, or otherwise, shall subject the
purchaser to suit in every instance, by the in
jured party, anti on legal proof thereof, the
minimum amount of liquidated damages shall
be ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS.”
The above article we clip from the Georgia
Journal of Tuesday last. We never seethe
Cassville Pioneer, having long since erased it
Irom our exchange list, because ol its unworthi
ness, but we should suppc.se that it had by this
time acquired such a general notoriety for its
wilful fabrications and misrepresentations, that
any contradiction of its statements would scarce
ly be necessary. This is undoubtedly the case
where it is known, but as there may be those
who are not familiar with its character, we copy
the article tor their benefit.
It will not be denied by the candid and intel
ligent ol all parties, that if 'he grossest and most
malignant misrepresentations of Goy. Craw
ford’saels and sentiments can accomplish hisde
feat, it will be effected. We have, however, a
confidence in the good sense and honesty of the
mass of the people, which induces the conviction
that all such attacks upon him as the above, and
some others which we have recently had occasion
tonotice, will result to his advantage, and so far
from answering the objects designed by their
authors, will U iumphantly re-elect him. To a
man like Guv. Crawfcrd, of high and elevated
nbrtbns of jntqnriety, with a very delicate sense
of the obligations he owes ifexllv Stat?, who is
conscious of the rectitude of his purposes, anil'
lhe success of his administration, it would
doubtless be a source of pride to see his policy
discussed by men who would disdain a low or
dishonorable act. What then must be his feel
ings, and, indeed, what would be the feelings of
any man, under such circumstances, to see him
ustt Ulus u<nhnv-l rfEotl it, Uy -1 r- a « lx low
demagogues, whose highest aspirations are to
do the dirty work of their party.
Voters of Georgia, ot all parlies, this article
of the “Pioneer" affords a fit and proper theme
for your contemplation. It is in your power to
correct the abuses and licentiousness of the
press; and if you desire to have the offices filled
by competent and honorable men, you should
frown indignantly upon all such efforts to libel a
faithful public servant. For be assured, if by
your countenance and support, you foster and
sustain in your midst, such vile prints, you can
not expect any man who values his reputation,
to snbmit himself to the ordeal of permitting his
name to be before you for any office. See then
that you discharge your duties to yourselves,
and to the Stale, by Irowning indignantly upon
al? such efforts to traduce an honorable man,
and faithful officer. Teach lhe low and grovel
ling authors, that your sense of justice is too
s'rong to look, with any degree of allowance,
upon their base efforts to deceive and mislead
the people.
Monte Video.—The N. York Commercial
has a letter train Montevideo mentioning the
tyranny practiced by Gen. Rosan, and recapi
tulating the horrors ot war. The intervention
I ottjie English and French will, (he writer says,
testore peace in ninety days. The noble rivers
, which enter into the La Plate will then be open.
( These have been closed by Gen. Rosas, and we
, know nothing ot the people who, forthousands
ot miles, inhabit their banks; but 1 trust the
present generation will become acquainted with
; their history, and the flag ot the United States
t float along the shores of Paraguay, a nation
r which lias maintained its independence for
- forty years, and still is shut up from all inter
t course with the civilized world. It was report
, ed at Monte Video that Gen. Rosas has em
’ ployed Mr. Edwards, formerly United Slates
t Consul at Buenos Ayres, to proceed to lhe
- United States and getup a national sympathy
in his favor.
“ That Balance Sheet.”
The Federal Union has been lor a long time
vociferous in its calls for “that balance sheet,"
as made out by the committee, on whom devolv
ed the duly of examining into the affairs ot the
Central Bank, and we are pleased that the
Southern Recorder has furnished it for the in
spection ofthe worthy editor and lhe whole peo
ple of Georgia. Let them read it—here it is.
A Plain Statement for the People.—The
public know that the last Legislature adopted a
Resolution directing the Governor to appoint
three competent gentlemen, to investigate min
utely, and in detail, the condition ot the Central
Bank, and to report the same to hint, by him to
be laid before the ensuing Legislature. That
Committee was appointed by the Governor,
consisting of James Hunter, Esq., of Chatham,
John F. Lloyd, Esq., of Floyd, and Jeremiah
Beall, E‘q., of Baldwin—all experienced in the
details of Banking—all of them former officers
of banks, ol ripe experience and judgment
gentlemen of both the political parties ot Geor
gia, and every way, so far as is known or be
lieved, most fit, competent and disinterested in
regard to the duties which they assumed to per
forin.
These gentlemen accepted the appointment,
and devoted nearly the whole ofthe month of
June last to the examination of the affairs ofthe
Central Bank. They made up their report, ma
king up their own estimate of every thing;
among others, the assets of lhe bank in the hands
ot attorneys; but leaving their reported esti
mates to be corrected any time between then
and the meeting of the Legislature, so tar as re
garded what might turn out, tor the better or
worse, ol the assets in the hands of Attorneys
for collection, and adjourning for this purpose
until the Octoberfollowing. The results ofthis
inquiry and examination were made known to
us, and freely spoken ot even in ottr streets.
We looked over the balance sheet made up by
these gentlemen, and must acknowledge our
surprise to find that ly it the people
called-i.mj't meet an unexpected deficit of some
three hundred and fifty thousand dollars. We
communicated the result as shown us to our
readers and the people, and included it among
the debts witlt which ottr opponents had saddled
the Stale.
All this would seem very plain, and easily
understood. It was the plain and brief state
ment, that the examining committee reported an
estimated deficit of 8350,000 on the winning up
of the Central Bank, which ot course would
have to be paid by the people, if paid at all.
But great mystification, as usual, has been
sought to be thrown around this simple affair;
and the usual amount of imiendoes and sinister
surmises been freely disseminated. We have
been rather tauntingly asked, “ where is that
balance sheet?” even after direct reference, by
us, as to the place and the proper persons for an
inspection of the document, and, indeed, invi
tation after invitation lor the inquiries to apply
for and obtain it for themselves. This, it seems,
would not suit the purpose; as not the firet ap
plication to the proper source of information,
so far as we have been apprized, has yet been
made. Strange, that such seeming desire should
be manifested for that so easy of attainment, and
yet so entirely neglected !
But asthose who so greatly desire that which
they make no effort to obtain, and yet so loudly
repeat the inquiry, “ where is the balance sheet,”
will not seek for it themselves, we have done it
for them, and obtained what they might quite
as readily have obtained—a copy of this ba
lance sheet from one of lhe gentlemen making
the examination and the estimates.
And now, once more, in reference to this item
of debt on the people. All we have to say is,
that the people of Georgia must form their own
opinion, either to give credence to those whose
business it has been minutely to investigate and
to judge of the affairs ol this institution, upon a
personal inspection and review ol all its resour
ces andliabilities, ar to credit those who deny
the report of these gentlemen, and who have not
been appointed to make any such investigation
of lhe subject. We will state in conclusion,
that two ofthe three gentlemen believed the es
timated losses too small; thatthey W’ould turn
out much larger than the amount here put down ;
and one of those making a much larger amount
of probable loss, was himself a uniform and
thorough Democrat, proving the utter fallacy
ofgll attempts to fasten party motives on the
results now spread before the country.
Here is the balance sheet of the Committee:

Mr. Editor:—l have just finished reading
the letter of Mr. Meriwether, and the comments
of the editor of the “ Constitutionalisi” upon it.
I think the editor must be demented. What
did he ever publish that letter for? Did he not
have sense enough to know that lhe democratic
circular to which it was a reply, would be pub
lished, and that it would bring disgrace upon
his folks whenever it was done? The editor
talks like he never heard ot circulars before.—
Why str, up here in Jones,
there are enough democratic
gle a small shed. The party made it up al
Athens last August, and sent them all over the i
country. Wm. Turner, the democratic candi- 1
date for Senator in this district, brought them to '
Jones county, but they are so actually mean
should suppose that Mr. Meriwether must have
seen them before he wrote his—as they were
out some time before.
The Editor in his comments says that the <
democrats treated lhe whigs last year very pro
perly after the election. Now how'was that?
In Monroe they put live raccoons in the cannon
and shot them out. In Dooly they hung the
Hon. Wm. H. Crawford in effigy, then tarred,
feathered and burnt the effi?y. In several other
places they had torch-light celebrations, and
when the procession would reach the door of a
whig, they would whoop and yell like Indians—
they would take an old lame and poverty
stricken horse, break off one leg, and print Bank,
Tariff, &c., upon him, and hang red-pepper and
coon-skins upon him, and call him the whig par
ly—and m their processions, men on horse-back
would enter, hung around with coon skins, fol
lowed by hounds, all emblematic of lhe defeated
whig party. Now lhe editor says that this was all
right, 1 ean tell him that thousands of his own
party do not think so, and they are determined
not to trust a parly again, who become so drunk
with power that they cannot respect the feelings
and rights of their neighbors. Because they
succeed they forget every body’s feelings but
their own. These leaders have got above them
selves, .and the people know it, and intend to
take them a button-hole lower. JONES.

Cotton and Grain. — The Colton market had
improved, and the prices were partially Jd high
er than at lhe close ot last month.
Wilmer & Smith's European Times, says:—
Tt.e Colton market, lhaigtpat barometer of pub
lic feeling, has shown symptoms of improve
ment. The fine weather has had a material in
fluence in strengthening this feeling, and dis
pelling lhe melancholy forebodings about the
harvest that had taken jiofsession ot the public
mind. The sales up to tte end ol the weekrex
eeeded 48,000 bags—a daily average ot more
than 8000. In lhe four data since nearly 40,000
have been sold, and very evldr ntiy
.geju ing.. up. -
bought freely, but this is may a natural course,
to be expected now that the liarvest is considered
secure. The weather dtltfij the last lew daya
has been nearly all that can be desired. The
change seems miraculous. The warm weather
we rejoice to say, has set in with every pros
pect of continuance, and just in time to secure
a good harvest. During the last ten days the
mercury has become steady, the sun has shone
out gaily ; there has been considerable warmth,
and at the lime we write, these appearances
continue, with every prospect of permanency.
In many parts of the country —in the southern
districts especially—reaping is generar, and, in
the course of the present week, the sickle will
be more or less in operation over these islands.
That some damage has been done to the crops
from theeontinuous wet and the want ol warmth
all lhe accounts admit, but it isnot of a nature
to cause much anxiety. The fear a short time
back, was, that the injury would prove irrepara
ble—part praying it. The crops that have
been cut, although not so good as could be
wished, are better than was expected. The
Corn marketsgeaerally exhibit the absence' ot
that feverish excitement that has been more or
less manifest during the last month or six weeks.
In despite, however, of all this, a considerable
importation ot foreign grain will be necessary,
to mix with the soft and inferior qualities of the
present year; and those who have speculated
early will find a good account in their enter
prise. But so many fortunes have been lost
during the last three or tour years—so many ol
the “rogues in grain” have reen lured to ruin
by their boldness in anticipating the course of
nature and braving the jumps of the sliding
scale—that it is questionable whether, when the
danger was imminent, when the “wolf” really
did appear, they had the courage to act in a
manner becoming the emergency. That no
great amount of speculation has been going
forward in the corn trade, witboar ntoie imme
diate neighbors in the Baltic, is evident from the
unexcited state ol the money market, which
has hardly been ruffled of late. Whatever is
brought from the continent must be paid tor in
hard gold, as the demand is irregular; and con
fined to seasons of uncertainty like the present.
I he Bank returns the rate ot interest on the
best bills at 2} to 3 per cent., and the abundance
of money, even in the face ol the gigantic rail
way speculations and investments, show that
the corn factors have been looking further than
Germany for their supplies. This year the
utility of the law which admits Canadian
wheat and flour at a nominal duty, combined
with lire law of that province for the admission
of United States flour at a low fixed duty, will
be fairly tested; and as we before remarked,
those who were fairly in the field, and l ave an
ticipated lhe threatening appearances that re
cently alarmed Great Britain, will find them
selves favored by that most fickle and best
wooed ol the deities—Fortune.
From the Mark Law: Express us September 1.
"-'he c-tr-r SiaCT, beer, trfgtdy
auspicious for bringing the grain crops to ma
turity in lhe backward districts, and for secu
ring tbe corn where already ripe. Bright san
shine, with drying breezes, were precisely what
was wanted afler so great a quantity ot rain;
and these have been experienced in all parts of
the kingdom throughout the week; should
September prove equally favorable, the wheat
harvest would terminate much more satisfac
torily than at one time appeared likely; still we
much question whether any weather, however
propitious, can now makegood the ill effects of
the wet, cold summer. The most prevalent
complaint, and that from « hich the greatest de
ficiency in the produce is feared, has all along
been the blanks caused in the ear by blight.— '
The reports of the mischief done thereby may '
have been exaggerated, but from their almost '
universal character, it can scarcely be supposed
that the injury complained ot was wholly with- j
out foundation; indeed, from personal observa
tion, we are satisfied that, Irom the cold and '
wet during the time ot blossoming, the ear set 1
imperfectly. This defect it is plainly impassi
ble to remedy; and though we may hope that
the quality will be far belter than it could have
been if the rain had continued longer, we cannot ,
under all circumstances, divest ourselves of
the impression, that the yield per acre w ill be
found considerably short ot an average. VVe I
sincerely trust that we may be wrong in this
conclusion, and shall b: happy to hear from
such of our agricultural friends as have pot i
the matter to the test, by threshing a portion of
the crops, the opinions they entertain on the
subject.
Whilst the prospects in regard to the result '
of the wheat harvest have undergone so de
cided an improvement, the accounts of the
injury sustained by the potato crop have great
ly increased. It is now certain that in many
of the southern and western counties lhe disease
is extending, and should it unfortunately spread
to lhe east and north, the consequences would
be very serious. A material deficiency in the
produce of potatoes must sooner or later, have a
decided influence on the consumption of bread
stuffs; and the undoubted fact of at least a par
tial failure in this root, in conjunction with the
reasonable supposition that the yield of u heat
will also be short, is strong ground forc-onclud
ing that lhe value of the latter will rule higher
from this time till the harvest of 1846, than it
has done the past twelve months. For the pre
sent, however, the trade in wheat has, as might
have been expected, been influenced by the
change from rcmatkaldv wet and ungenial
weather to that of a completely opposite charac
»4fcr.
By t from Scotland,we learn that
though the tai'd' '.rkjd cca<ej, there, the weather
had not been nearly as that lately
experienced here. The Itutiing of oats and
barley bad, it seems been oPKtiy generally com
menced rnTtrfTuiti ;-Ju in the most for-
the wheat scarscfiLle
begun till about the tnidUWT>rSeptember.
From Ireland we continhe to receive satis- '
factory accounts of the weather and the crops. <
In the southern parts ot the Island a good deal 1
of corn has already been secured and farmers, •
we are told, express themselves satisfied with ‘
the result. The fine weather and flat reports
from this side ot the channel, combined, had '
caused prices ot West, as wall as those of Oats. {
to give way, more or less, atscveral of the prin
cipal markets, but not sufficiently to leave a .
margin for profit on shipments to England ,
The transactions in free Foreign Wheat have <
been on so restricted a scale as to render it diffi- (
cult to quote prices correctlv; in tbe absence of .
extensive sales the value of the article may be
considered as having remained nominally un- !
altered, but to have induced buyers to supply 1
themselves freely, it would have been necessary :
to have submitted to some abatement.
S.ptemberi.— The arrivals of all corn are ‘
moderate. The English wheat remaining over <
from Monday is held firmly at that day’s pri- ,
ces, and which have been realized when sales ,
were made. There is some demand for low
qualities of foreign for exportation.
I'here is still a good business doing in the
several Woollen markets throughout England, i
At Leeds they are busily engaged, whilst they 1
obtain remumerating prices for their labour. 1
The same remark applies to Huddersfield and 1
Rochdale. In Worsteds there is an active j
trade; d’signs for the ensuing winter season
meet a good demand; in. feed, the weather has
exercised a considerable influence upon these i
and lhe Colton traders. The late change to dry, ,
warm,autumnal weather has proved favourable
to both manufacturers and merchants. At
Manchester both Goods an? Yarn are now in
better request, and prices very firm.
The state of trade is iu most respects satisfac
tory. The demand for ail the leading staples
whether Sugar, Coffee, Wool or Cotton is so
steady as to indicate a healthy consumption, and
the supplies ate sufficient to cheek any exorbi
tant advance. The Iron trade was brisk and
prices have improved.
There is a complete famine in Poland, so jfiat
no supplies of wheat can be expected Irom that
quarter.
The news taken out by the Cambria, of the
warlike altitude ot Mexico towards the United
States caused quite a sensation, and the London
and Paris journals were discussing the merits
ot the question, with considerable warmth, in
tlie absence ol less interesting and important
matters. The news had an immediate effect
upon Government securities, njt lhe Landon
Stock Exchange, and they experienced a decline
“t about I percent —while Mexican securities
Relined 1} per cent.
There are some reports of changes in lhe
British Ministry. Lord Lyndhurst, it is said,
is desirous of retiring, and tlie question was who
would succeed him? The European Times
says:
Brougham would be glad, but he has lost
caste, and the premier is too shrewd not to see
that lhe gravity of the office would be compro
mised by a legal Scaramouch. A gifted man,
even a great man, as times go, Loid Brougham
has snuffed out his own reputation, and become
a target, by which tlie caricaturist lives. The
bar talk ol Mr. Pemberton Leigh, an adept in
Chancery practice—great as a lawyer, but small
as a statesman, an orator, ora politician.
The terms of a treaty ol amity and commerce
have been definitively agreed upon by the British
and Brazilian negotiators. '1 he rough draft ol
this treaty had arrived for the approval ol the
British Cabinet.
The papers contain full accounts of tbe jour
neyings of the Queen and Royal party in Ger
many. On the 27th of August, Her Majesty
proceeded from Coburg to Gotha, accompanied
by Prince Albert, the King and Queen ot the
Belgians, and the Reigning Duke, where they
would remain till the 3J or 4lh inst., when they
would return homeward.
The steamship Cambria, hence, I6th ult. ar
rived at Liverpool on the 28th, making the pas
sage in eleven days and a half, including her
stay in Halifax.
The Acadia arrived out in 11} days Irom
Boston—one of the shortest voyages ever made.
The overland mail from China arrived in
London on the Ist inst. The dates from China
aretothe2sih May—not so late as those re
ceived direclat New York a few days ago.
The boats ofthe British ship-of-war Panta
loon, on the coast ol Africa, after a most gal
lant action, captured a large slaver—eleven of
the pirates were killed and eight severely wound
ed.
A serious affray had taken place al Mada
gascar, between the natives and the British and
French, in which the former lost 4 men killed
and 12 vrounded. The latter had 17 killed and
43 wounded.
Scotland, which usually absorbs but little of
tbe politician’s attention, has been disturbed,
-''t’dreito* last few- days, by one or two emeulcs,
not but it. in
of more stirring events, to fix Thd"public gaze
upon that part ofthe island. The scene of the
principal outrage was Dumfermline, Where the
house of an employer was attacked and iris family
maltreated, by his operatives, arising out ot a
dispute about wages. Troops were despatched
from Edinburgh, and the newspapers gave im
portance to the circumstance by displaying, in
imposing capitals, the “Riots in Scotland.”
The Frenclt Commission, ol which the Prince
de Joinville was President, to examins the state
ofthe Steam Marine, have made a report con
cerning the statements and deductions of the
Prince's pamphlet,and declaringthat the nation
“does not possess a steam fleet on which confi
dence can be placed, nor any thing like one.”
The French have met with some reverses in
Algiers—the Arabs at Orleansville having a
gain revolted.
The treaty between France and Morocco lias
al length been ratified by the Moorish Empe
ror, and published in the Bulletin des Lois. It
fixes the limits of the territory between Algiers
and Morocco, and is remarkable for containing
an express acknowledgment on the part ot the
Emperor ol Morocco, that Algiers is “ a French
possession.”
Ratifications of a treaty of commerce be
tween France and New Grenada will be ex
changed in a few months. There is already a
provisional treaty between the two countries,
dating from 1840, and the treaty now about to
be ratified is for making the provisional treaty
definitive. France, it appears, has every rea
son to believe that she will do an extensive
trade with New Grenada; for, previous to 1840,
her exports were only to the amount of about
700,000 francs, whereas since that time, they
have averaged 4,000,000 francs per annum.
From Germany we learn that lhe religious
disturbances at Leipzic have not been renewed,
and that the popular irritation was allayed by
the King’s prompt compliance with the request
of the citizens in regard to a commission ot in
quiry.
An outbreak has taken place at Madrid, oc
casioned by the oppressive operation of the new
plan ol taxation. Petitions having been pre
sented in vain fora suspension ot the measure,
several thousand tradesmen closed their shops
on the 19. h August, and the streets were filled
with those who were opposed to the measure.
The troops were called out and charged the
populace—several lives were lost before the
mob were dispersed.
The Voss Gazette says that ’Mr. Wheaton,
the United States minister at Berlin, has again
opened negotiations with the Zollverein tor a
treaty of Commerce. “Mr. Wheaton,” the
above journal states, “ has already acted on this
direction from his government, and it is not un
likely that this proposition may be laid before
the German Customs’ Conference, at present
held at Carlsruhe.
It is said that the Prussian government has
yielded to the wishes ot the Southern Statzs,
and has given instructions to its delegates o)
the Congress of the Zollverein to agree to the
increased duties on manufactures.
The last letters from Carlsruhe bring no in
formation that can be depended upon with res
pect to the discussions in lhe Congress ofthe
Zollverein, which is still sitting. It appears,
however, that the majority of the Congress is in
favor of an increase of import duties on foreign
products, so as to protect domestic manufac
tures; but the precise manner in which this is
to be accomplished is not yet settled. A dimin
ution will probably be made in favor of colonial
produce.
There lias been a terrific whirlwind on the
continent. Its effects in Holland were almost
as severely felt as in France. At Rouen how
ever, it seems to have expended its greatest vio
lence. In that cily three extensive manufacto
ries were destroyed by the whirlwind, while all
hands were at work; not less than 60 persons
of all ages perished in tlie ruins, and 120 were
thereby wounded.
Liverpool Markets.
Liverpool, August 29.
Cotton— The Cotton market had a steady ap
pearance during the early part of lhe week, when
the weather was still dull and gloomy, and pre
viously to the arrival es the steamer. But the
bright and apparently settled weather ot the last
three days, together with tlie accounts by the
last packet, which are generally considered to be
in favor of holders, have given us a strong and
somewhat advancing market.
The actual change in the quotations is hut
slight, but there is a decided increase of confi
dence and firmness with which the article is held,
and there can hardly be any doubt that, with a
good harvest time, our market will do more than
support its ground. 9,300 American 'and 4.400
Egyptians have been taken on speculation ; 1,61'0
American, laOPernam, 50 Surat, and 100 Egyp
tian for for exporu The total number of sales
amount to 46,930ba1e5.
Another Report.
Cotton—The market continued heavy up to
Wednesday, when a decided improvement in the
weather took place, which restored confidence,
and a considerable, demand has since been expe
rienced from the trade, as well as from specula
tors and exporters, and very full prices has been
obtained for most descriptions. A good deal has
been done in Egyptian, speculators having been
tempted by some concession male to them in
prices. .Speculators have taken 9,300 American,
and 4,400 Egyptian ; and exporters 1,600 Ame
rican, 150 Pernambuco, 100 Egyptian, and 50
Surat. Total number of sales, 48,930 bales.
September 3— Cotton— The sales of Cotton in
the last four days have been nearly 40,000 bags.
The market, under the influence of a good de
man *, is looking up in price. The fair qualities
and upwards nt American are not materially
changed, but in the middling sorts, which the
speculators chiefly direct their attention to, are
more nearly fd than }d higher than they stood
this day week, and all other descriptions are
more or less affected. The firm and steady mar—
Jrnt. may’ be attributed entirely .to 'he good
harvest weatneCmiKri vve~Si}re now enjoying.
The following are the daily last Fri
day : Saturday 8 000. 3,000 on ;
Mondav 10,000, 4,000 oil speculation; TuNgJay
9,000, 4,000 on speculation ; Wednesday 12,00T?n.
5,000 on speculation.
September 3 —The demand for Cotton has im
proved, and a good business done both to consu
mers and speculators, with an advance of }d
lb., chiefly in the low and middling qualities.
The sales for the weekended the 29th ult. were
48,900 bales, of which 13,000 were taken on spe
culation, and American descriptions consisting
of 8,600 Upland at 3} a 4{; 21.940 Orleans at 3} a
6}: 8,090 Alabama and Mobile at 3f a 5} ; and
370 Sea Island at 11J a 16}d lb.
For the four business days since to this eve
ning the transactions are estimated at 43,000
bales, of which about 18,000 have been taken by
speculators. We quote Upland 3} a s}; fair 4J ;
MobileS} a6; fair 4}; Orleans 3} a 6}; fair 5;
and Alabama and Tennessee 3J a 4|d pel lb.
Tlie stock in this port is now estimated at 993-,
000 bales against 938,000 at same period last sea
son ; the stock of American is 776,000, or 65,000
more than at that period.
HAVRE MARKET.
Havre, August 31 — Cottons— Although the
state ot tlie weather, wh'ch had for some time
past been the chief obstacle to extensive opera
tions, has during this week been uninterruptedly
favorable, our market which, there was good
grounds for anticipating, would become more ani
mated, has remained in lhe same quiet situation,
as noticed in our preceding circular. In some
instances, however, slight symptoms of a revival
have manifested themselves.and the sales have
occasionally been to a fair amount. Speculators
seem inclined to keep aloof, until after the receipt
of the advices from the United States by the
Cambria steamer of 16th inst. which may be ex
pected to convey some intelligence as to lhe
comirrgcrop. Tl.e transactions have therefore
been upon the whole extremely limited, and pri
ces of ordinary and inferior American descrip
tions, which are those principally required for
transit, and which have for a length of time been
neglected, have experienced a decline of if. a 2,
making a total depreciation, since the commence
ment of the month, of if. on middling, and 3f. a
4on ordinary and inferior grades.—P. S. We are
just put in possession of the despatches by lhe
above inenrioned steamer, which seems likely to
give an impulse to the buying.
sales of the week are 6336 bales, including
2226 bales New Orleans al 1.53 50 a 82 . 1305 Mo

Disastrous Steamboat Explosion—lmportant

The steamship Alabama arrived at an early
hour yesterday, having sailed from Aransas on
the Jsth inst. She brought us lire news of a de
plorable steamboat catastrophe, which we laid
before our readers in a secondt dition yesterday,
as fullv as the time would allow. We now
proceed to add thereto such other particulars as
have come to our knowledge.
On the 12th inst., the steamer Dayton burst
her boilers when about half way between Cor
pus Christi and St. Joseph’s Island. There
were between thirty and forty persons on board,
including U. S. soldiersand the hands attached
to the boat. Ten individuals were killed on
the spot, including among them Lieuts. Higgins
and Berry of the 4th regiment of infantry.—
Seventeen were wounded, some of whom were
not expected to survive their injuries. Capt.
Crossman, lhe Quaiter Master, was on board
together with two other officers. They were
blown to the distance of one hundred yards,
but were not severely injured. Capt. C. had
one ol his legs somewhat bruised, but the next
day was able to walk and attend to his busi
ness.
Since writing the above, we tegret to learn
that eleven in all were killed, namely : Lieuts.
Higgins and Berry, one sergeant, one corporal,
two discharged soldiers, one deck hand, and
the rest not stated. Lieut. Win. Gordon, of
lhe 3d Infantry, was one of the officers standing
with Capt. Crossman. His irjuries are slight.
Lieut. Graham,of the4th Infantry, was slight
ly scalded. Dr. Crittenden, of lhe 7th Infantry,
was thrown down and much bruised by lim
bers which fell upon him, but he was again
about.
Capt. West, the clerk of tl.e boat, was badly
scalded. The cook, a lad, was so severely burnt
and scalded that it was thought on the 15th he
could not possibly survive. The pilot of the
boat had an arm broken. Capt. Nicholls, of
the Texan sloop Cutter, who was on board the
boat, had one ol his legs broken. A Mr. Graves
was also badly burnt and scalded. The
remains r.f’lm—;vho nerfeh«d had been decent-
The Dayton was an old boat, which ran on
the Ohio in 1834. She is represented as having
been a mere shell prior to this dreadful calam
ity. She has been for some time in the pay of
tlie Government, transporting stores and troops
from St. Joseph’s to Corpus Christi.
There is no important news from the army
under Gen. Taylor. They receive almost all
their news from this city. The U. S. sloop of
war St. Mary’s arrived at lhe Bay of Aransas
on the 15lh inst., with a b’arer ot despatches
for Gen. Taylor from Washington. On the
evening of the same day, the U. S. brig Por
poise hove to off the bar and communicated
with the St. Mary’s. In half an hour thereafter
she sailed towards Vera Cruz. Nothing as to
their purposes or intelligence transpired.
On the morningot the 14th instant a compa
ny of traders arrived at Gen. Taylor’s camp.—
Thev report that they had seen, within two
days’ march of the camp, about two hundred
Lipans and as many Camanches on their way
to Metamoros (by invitation from .Mexico) to
join the forces to be directed against Gen. Tay
lor. The report of the traders was but half
credited.
Gen. Taylor sent out Lieut. Scarrit with an
escort ot forty dragoons to reconnoitre tor 30 or
40 miles about, to ascertain everything possible,
and he no doubt has spies pushed further
ahead.
The report as to the health of the troops, both
volunteers and regulars, is entirely favorable.
Not a word has been heard, save via. New Or
leans, of Gen. Arista, nor was there any expec
tation of hearing of hint in the shape of an at
tack. Gen. Taylor, however, was ever on the
alert.
The Government has in itsemploy the steam
boats White Wing and Neva, the sloops Sarah
Foyle and Tom Jack, and the schooners Den
mark and Carolina, all plying between Corpus
Christi and Sr. Josephs. The old steamer
Monmouth continues in difficulty. She leaks
so badly that it is feared she cannot be got
round to New Orleans for repairs. The schrs.
E. S. Landin and Mary Wilkes have both
sailed for this port.
Our papers by this arrival come down to the
6th inst. only from Galveston. They are prin
cipally occupied with the labors ofthe Conven
tion for forming a State Constitution. That
body terminated its sittings on the 28lh ult, and
the President of Texas immediately issued his
proclamation, in pursuance of its provisions for
submitting the same to the people.
We have received an entire copy of the State
Constitution of Texas as adopted by the Con
vention. Attached to it is an ordinance of vast
importance in regard to grants of Texas lands.
It will be submitted to the people at the same
lime as (he Constitu'ion, We copy it entire :
AN ORDINANCE.
Whereas, various contracts have been entered
into by the President ol the Republic of Texas
with divers individuals, with the expressed
intention of Colonizing an enormous amount
ol the public domain of Texas; and whereas,
it i» believed that said contracts are uncon ■
stflutional, and, therefore, void from thebe
ginning, and it carried out would operate as a
monopoly of upwards of seven millions ot
acres of the public domain ol Texas, in the
hands ot a few individuals—when, in truth,
lhe citizen-soldiers and creditorsof the Repub
lic of Texas had, by lhe laws and constitu
tion of said Republic, a clear and indisputa
ble previously subsisting right to locate upon
the public domain thus attempted to be assigned
to said contractors:
Sr.c. 1. Thercfoie, it is hereby ordained and
declared, That it shall be the duty of lhe Attor
ney General of this State, or the District Attor
ney of the District in which any portion ol lhe
colonies may be situate, as soon as the organi
z tlion of the State shall be completed, to insti
tute legal proceedings against all colony con
tractors who have entered into contracts with
the President of Texas; and if, upon investiga
tion, it shall be found that any such contract
was unconstitutional, illegal or iradulent.or that
the conditions ofthe same have not been com
plied with according to its terms, such contract
shall be adjudged and decreed null and void:
Provided, however, that all actual settlers, un
der such contract, shall be entitled to their quan
tity of land as colonies—not to exceed six hun
dred and forty acres to the head of a family,
and three hundred and twenty acres to a single
man. And in all suits brought by, or against
any contractors, or any person claiming under,
by or through them, or either of them, it shall
be lawful for lhe adverse claimant to set forth
any plea that it would have been competent for
lhe State to plead ; and the party may introduce
testimony to prove the claim or title to have
been forfeited, as well for frauds, or illegality,
or unconstitutionality,as on account of a failure
to comply with the conditions ol the original
grant or contract ; and any such picas shall be
deemed good and valid in law, in ail such suit
or suits in this State.
Sec. 2. Be it further ordained, Tjiat the Le
gislature is hereby restrained irom extending
any contract for settling a Colony, and Irom re
lieving a contract from lhe failure of the condi
tions, or the forfeiture accruing from non-com
pliance with the contract.
Sec. 3. And be it further ordained, That this
Ordinance shall be presented to lhe people for
their adoption < r rejection, at lhe same lime this
Constitution shall be presented to them, and lhe
returns of the votes taken on this Or finance,
shall be made to lhe office of Secretary rd Stare
of the Republic of Texas, at the same lime the
votes for the Constitution may be returned.
Adopted in Convention, this twenty-seventh
day ot August, one thousand eight hundred and
forty-five.

,Attest:—Jas. H. Raymond, Sec’y ot Con.
The Constitution which has been agreed
upon it js thought will be accepted by the peo
ple without hesitation. President Jones’s pro
clamation directs the justices of the several
..counties to cause the polls to be opened on the
iSilNut October next, lor the purpose of taking
the the people ol Texas in regard to
the adoptirWfcjpr rejection of the Constitution;
also, for the of taking the expression,
of their opinion foFs-and against Annexation’
and also, for their opiirtlfoc upon the adoption or
rejection of the ordinanctv«ffitch we have
copied above. The election isuKiigconducted

The Hon. G. W. Tellell, late Texas
ter to France and England, arrivrdat Galves-|
ton on the 2d inst., in the Hope Howes.
Gen. James Pinckney Henderson, at the ur- I
gent solicitation of his friends, has consented I
to allow his name to be used as a candidate I
for the office of first Governor ot the State ol I
Texas. The Civilian thinks he will certainly I
be elected.
Ashbel Smith’s long-winded letter has atl
last been issued to the public in Texas, whither]
it was directed in the outset.
The Convention, without entering into an]
investigation of the merits of Com. Moore’s]
case, passed a resolution recommending that]
he l>e reinstated in his rank in the navy ol]
tlie United States.
The city of Austin was thrown into great]
contusion on the 22d ult., bv news that General]
Taylor was about to be attacked by “8000]
Mexicans”and all that. The Houston Tele-]
graph represents that it was very doubtful if any]
aid would be furnished Geri.T.i
If the authority of tire letter-writer of lire]
Telegraph is to be credited, an express arrived]
at Austin on the 23d, from Capt. Hays, at ean]
Antonio. V. e copy Irom the Telegraph’s let-]
ler, dated Austin, the 23d :
Jim Shaw, the Delaware chief, and Sloat, the|
Indian agent, arrived yesterday from the Ca-|
manehes, by the way ol San Antonio. They]
went up after the scoundrel who killed Hornbv,]
Mrs. Simpson and others. He is dead! He|
became very outrageous, and swere he would]
comedown and kill some more whites; and an|
old chief, in remonstrating with him, told him]
that he should not leave, when the fellow shot]
hrs chief through the heart. In an instant a
dozen arrows were shot through him,
blood-thirsty villiatt is certainly dead. T|fe ex
press that arrived this morning was concerning
these watriots. They are perfectly peaceable
with tlie people of San Antonio; but upon
leaving town tor their enmp, they met a patty
ot six Mexican traders, and a chief ran towards
them, when the commander ol lhe trading party
fled, the chief alter him. The Camanche told
the Mexican to stop and he would not be hurt,
and the Mexican shot at him for answer, and
then the chiel killed him with an arrow. The
other five they took prisoners, together with
their mules and horsesand 41600 in specie.—
Hays went out with his company, and succeed
ed in getting lhe prisoners and a portion of the
horses, but they would not give up the money.
Hays sent in to known Irom lhe Secretary of
War what he must do, and 1 have not heard
any rumors as to the orders that will be given.
These Camanches are going to rake the whole
valley of the Rio Grande, in consequence o
lhe defeat ol lhe parly under “Buffalo Hunt," a
war chief, injuneiast. The Mexicans killed
a great number of them, and now they say they
are tor revenge.
