WASHINGTON MARCH 23, 1830. To CorrespondedTs. — “A Gtorglan” is on file. He treats of facts, and recognizes certain individuals, as having participated iu certain matters, As we are unacquainted with those facts, we cannot assume the .responsibility of au thorship. Our columns are open to the injured and oppressed, and no man or set of men, no matter w hat may be their wealth, rank or influ ence can induce us to close them against the just and reasonable demands of the lowest individual in community. In the present instance the real name of the author is required, (as in all other in stances where facts are related,) before we can give him a hearing. We ireignornnt ot the mat ter and if called on could make no defence. Extract of a letter from the Superinfendant of Roads and Rivers of the Eastern division, to the Editor, dated Augusta, 20th March 1830. “It may not be uninteresting to y'u and your readers, to understand that a road has been de signated by the City Council of this place, for the operation of the public hands, destined for the north western line from this point. This road is the one leading hence to Columbia court house, (Applingj—thence on by Cobhatn, to Washing ton, crossing Little liver near Fish-dam Ford, on condition that the counties of Wilkes and Co lumbia will erect a safe, convenient and durable bridge over the l iver at that place. This condi tion ft is hoped will be promptly accepted and complied with.” Ih a preceding column we have inserted a few sections of the general Ordinance of this town re gulating fall’©}. We recommend all citizens within the town and cprporyt limits to peruse them, in order that a fair understanding upon the subject may exist In another column we have given the proceed ings which took place in the Senate of ttye United States upon the subject of our Indian Affairs. Pur delegation in Congress are constantly on the alert and no opportunity re suffered to pass with- : d U i one or another, &in some jiista.icc* hc whole of them raising their voice in defence ofjhe just rights of the WMc. On the bill inst.

Ai a ynendmeut was proposed by Mr. Frcimghuysev, a:>d a discussion took place, after which the po rtion taken by RJr. Forsyth w§ agreed to, as will be seen by the proceedings iu qnother co luran, VVc are Melded to <fcr Senator George A). Troup, and our Representatives Messrs, Wayne, Lumpkin, Willie, Lainqr, Haynes, h'ikyiapson, {or several important documents, iic. and to whom we return ou p thanks. Anions the doeu ments we have the report retative“to Sunday Mails, presented by ftfr Johnson, of Kentucky from the Committee on fust Pfiices and fust Roads, to whom the lutd been referred The report is an able one, andporrectly sets forth the unconstitutionally of Congress to interfere, or legislate upon any matter tsuding to affect tl: : conscience of a singl.e individual. Those favora ble to the stoppage of the mail on the Sabbath, allege among other reasons, that they being con tcieuciously opposed thereto cannot participate in the profits of the mail contracts. Profit seems to be a part of their hearts desire, gmd necessa rily leaves the impression that it is wholly gain, and not virtue or religion that stimulates to ac. tion. Upon the same principle,” those holding that the seventh, and not the first day qf the week, is the true and holy day, might with equal propriety, and have demanded that the mail should rest on that day, and equally just would he their complaint, that they were prevented from participating in the profits of mail contracts in consequence of being competed by law, in the event of their acceptance to violate their con science. And yet these conscientious petitioners who oppose the running of the mail on Sunday, have no desire that it should also be stopped ou Saturday. They care not for the rights of con science in others, or how many profits others may he debarred the privilege of participating in; give them all they ask and they are content. Praises to the Most High,our Government is no resplwor of persons. ‘The high and the hv, the rich and the poor ore alike in the eye of go vernment, and the Jew and (.entile, Pagan Mu home-duty, or ( bristian arealike privileged ,to pay homage to the Great Creator of all, in the man ner their conscience may dictate, without the fear of the bayonet, or the dread of the rack. This is the only,govcrnment upon earth free front Religious bondage, and we should always be sen gitivelv alive, to the first step that in the meet re mote degree might tend to unite Church and State, in this, our happy and only free coun try in the world. No matter how innocent the intention of those opposed to us may be, it is our duty to contend with them at the very threshold, if we believe the effect destructive. Out government lias nothing to do with religious enactments, audit is a blessing that our Constitu tion has provided a barrier that cannot he remo ved A wall of pat tition is raised from the earth so the Heavens between politics and religion and Congress cannot interfere witli the rights of con science. The report will no doubt be received by mu-lean overwhelming majority iu the House, that it will put the matter at rest. In our next we intend to lay it before our readers, iu order that j tjt.-y nutv judge as wo would have tlieut lo do, j for thmsclves. The other documents received wjll lie attended j (yi io a future number. I From the Banner qf the Constitution. An intelligent correspondent in Philadelphia, who insists upon it, that if the sense of the inha bitants of that city w ere fliirly taken, Unconnect ed with party considerations, it majority would be found opposed to the present high duties, has taken occasion to put us upon our ghard, against the admission: which lie thinks the Southern peo ple have too much fallen into, that the party con stitutes a majority of the Amiriean people. He believes, that the fact is otherwise, and, upon re flection, we are not sure that he is far wrong. At ail events ..-VC think that a calculation would shew, that the parties arc not so unequally divided, as many people imagine, for it must be kept in mind, that it, in the Middle and Northern States, there is a majority in favor of the tariff policy, there is in the Southern and South Western Stales,, a voice almost unanimousagaius it. Extract from a general Ordinance of the Town of Washington as revised and amended by the Board of Commissioners January‘lllh 1830. Section 61.—The patrol shall have power to cuter peaceably any privute enclosure, and to search any negro house, but shall commit no Violence except iu the moderate punishment of persons of color. Iftheir entrance on enclosures or into negro houses is opposed by dogs or by fastened doors or otherwise, they shall apply to the white person having charge of the lot to order the removal of such ob stacles, who shall accordingly remove them, under the penalty of live dol lars, Section f>2.—lt -shall he the duty of the captain to patrol within the town anil corporate limits from nine o’clock at night, Until day light, He shall examine all and every person of colour found front home after nine o’clock at night, and if any such person of color shall so, bq found without a pass from their owner or j employer, specifying the place to j which he is to go, &, the day when ] he is to go; in such case it shall he \ the duty of such patpol, to arrest ! said person of colour and commit hint 1 or them to the Guard House, or such ! other place as the board may direct.! And if any person of colour shall he! drunk, or gambling, or behaving in ! adisorderly manner, or shall be found I any where under circumstances in ducing a reasonable suspicion of their being runaways, or criminals; in all such cases, and the cases before men- i tipned, they shall commit them to {he j Guard House, or such other places as the board may direct, and there j to remain until their owners, or em ployers take them out, upon paying j all expenees, and fifty cents for their j release to the marshal, And it shall’ bp thp duty cf each captain be fore f.e commences patfoliug, to call upon the marshal for the key of the Guard House, and shall .the next morning return said key to the mar shal, together with a list of persons so committed. . It shall bo Lhe Jati, oi’iite marshal to ting the bell at nine oYlofck i\t. night, at which time the patrol sfa)l commence their duties. Section 63.—Any person who shall he intoxicated while ou patrol duty, of who shall behave with wanton viol ence or disorder, or who sjtalj either enter any private enclosure or heat j or strike any coloured person under the false pictencc qf being on patrol, shall bes not pxceedjug leu dol lars. Section 04.- —Thp papluin shall make return in writing, the next day <tfter each putro) pig hi to the Seere.- tary, of all persons ill his section v. ho may have ..failed U> servo; of which failure such return shall be sufficient evidence. And he shall also make return as aforesaid of til! poisons who may in any way have misbehaved while on patrol, of which such re turn shall bo presumptive evidence. The Secretary shall report speh re turn to the next monthly meeting of the board ; at which meeting it shall he the duty of such persons in default iu not serving to attend upon having oue day’s notice, and of all persons reporting for misbehaviour to attend, 1 having one day’s notice thereof, | Os thp amount of gold bullion, de posited at the Mint, within the last year, about §131,000 were received 1 from Mexico, youth America, and I the West Indies; $22,000 from As-! rica; about $12,1)00 from sources not ascertained; and the residue, about! $134,000 from North Carolina, and! the adjacent States of SouthCarolipq and Virginia. The proportion from North Carolina may be stated at $128,000; from South Carolina, at $3,000, and that from Virginia, ut $2,500. The first notice of gold from North Carolina, on the records of the ..lint, occurs in the year 1804, within which was received to the amount of sll,- 000. )t continued to be received timing the succeeding years, untill 1824 inclusive, in varying amounts, all inferior however to tiiat of th,e year first mentioned, and on an av erage not exceeding $2,400 yearly* In 1824, the amount received was $5,000; in 1825, it had increased to $17,000 ; in 1826, it was $20,000, in 1827, about $21,000; and in 1828, nearly $46,000. In 1829, as above stated, it was $128,000. This remarkable increase in the amount of goltl received fiom North Carolina, during Hie ydars fallowing 1824, has been considered of suffi cient interest to be rioted iu the au ual reports of the Mint, since that period.—The circumstance will at, tract additional attention, from the fact now ascertained, that the gold region of thp fi. S. extends far be-j jyond the locality to which it lias here-] toforc appeared to he limited. Gold bullion had not been received from Virginia, or South-Carolina, until tlx] last year ; or, if at all received it hat] been in quantities too inconsiderably to have been specially noticed. Th gold from all thesq localities is found, in its native State, to be, on an av erage, nearly of the same fineness us the standard ot our gold coin.— ! Raleigh Register. J Fy the report of the Inspector of the PenTeiitiary of this state for the J fourth quarter of the past year, it appears* that it has during the w hole year been conducted without expanse to the state, leaving at its dose a ba lance of cash on hand of 2,313 dol - lars 17 cents, or $246 54 morp than at the same period of the preceeding year. The number of convicts re jceived during the year was 31—the discharges on expiration of sentence ] 10, pardoned 9. and died 4. I From the statement of die aeounts jof the prison, it appears that “if the Institution ran collect promptly ail i the debts that are tint; it on the bnsi j uess of (he year 1829, and a small i sum of the debts duo to it on the old business—-,k> the same business iu all pespests for the year 1830, that it has done foi 1829—that is, make the same amount of cash saloe-rrthe same j amount of sales on credit, and the j same amount of collections from these sales, it may, at tlioendof 1830, i huye supported itself, have paid all | the debts, within a small sum, due i by it since the first of J 829, and have I the tneans of goiiig ou in the year j 1831, prosperously, and without ex pense to the Btate.” Sue.

On dressing one which had j a poke unusually largo a younger j brother of him wlio hud sent, the iisli j had a rvffialtQ open the poke, when to his and his father’s astonishment, lie found pi it an open jack Ipuile, handle and blade eight inches in length which the fish had swallowed point foremost. On examining the knife, E. fi. were discovered .marked on the handle, when the lad exch.iin ptj ’tis uncle Eben fJardnpr’s? The boy hastened to the supposed ownei, to inquire if he had lost any thing. Being answered in the negative, be then questioned his uncle if lie had lost a knife. His reply was, that when fishing 8 or 10 days before he lost a jack-luiife overboard, east of Bassrip. When asked to describe the knife, it soon appeared fully e vident that the knife found in the fish’s poke was the one lie lost. The boy who found the knife is now one of our most respectable citizens, from whom we had, within a few davs these curious facts Enq. .“All the Worlds’ a Lottery?’ ‘ “From the fall ’of a Sparrow to the conquest of Constantinople, hu man events are regulated by an un seen destiny which presides ns well over the LUCKY NUMBERS of a LOTTERY TICKET, as over the | lute of Eippircs.
