WASHINGTON, GA.
THURSDAY, APRIL 14, 1842.
OO” Daniel Hook, Esq., was on Monday
last elected Mayor of Augusta.
The election for Governor of Con
necticut has resulted in favor of the Demo
crats. They have also a majority in the
Legislature, which secures to them the e
lection of a U. S. Senator.
The Ladies’ Companion, for April, is
as usual, an interesting number. It con
tains, a steel engraving of a country vil
lage, the Spring Fashions, and a piece of
Music. The ladies will always find this
an agreeable companion.
(Kr The President, so says his favorite
paper, the N. Y. Herald, threatens to re
sign unless Congress behaves better. We
do not believe he will do it; no such good
can be in store for the country. The Her
ald says that the majority in Congress have
entered into a conspiracy to transact no
business ; to delay all legislation, and to
leave the Treasury empty, so as to compel
Mr. Tyler to resign.
Texas.
It is impossible to discover from the va
rious contradictory and confused accounts
from Texas, how matters stand between
that Republic and Mexico. Three or four
weeks since, we announced that Texas was
invaded by 14,000 Mexicans ; then the in
vading army was diminished to 8,000;
then it was only a plundering expedition of
some 150 or 200 men, (reminding us forci
bly of Falstaff’s “sloven men in buck
ibm ;”) then the Mexicans had retreated ;
then they were driving the Texians before
them like a flock of frightened sheep ; and
here at last comes the news that there has
v been no invasion at all—but only one ex-
I peeted ! We have been so bothered in at
itempting to ascertain the truth of the mat
ter, that we have almost come to the con
elusion that the whole Texian invasion is a
gigantic humbug—a plot laid by the New
Orleans wags to make the United States u
nation of April fools !
Mol> Lax*’.
It must be a subject of regret to every
“Saver of peace and good order, to perceive
the growing disrespect for the laws that is
spreading throughout this and other States.
In some parts of Virginia, the people have
determined to resist the collection of debts,
and we learn that in the Western parts of
Georgia nearly the same state of things is
prevalent, officers violating their oaths
by neglecting and refusing to act, and the
people preventing the collection of debts by
the most unjustifiable and even violent
means.
The unprecedented pecuniary distress
now prevalent, may, in the opinion of some
be considered an excuse for these proceed
ings, but it can be esteemed no palliation,
by reflecting and right-judging men. No
pecuniary distress should be thought a jus
tification for tearing asunder the bond that
holds civilized society together, and break
ing down the safeguard of life and property.
Our laws are made by the common consent
for the protection of all, they are equal and
impartial,& though they may seem at times
I to bear hardly upon some, they can never
I work injustice to any. It is the duty there-
I fore of all to yield a willing and ready as
■ sent to them, to assist zealously in their ex-
I ecution, and to countenance no disobedi-
I dice or rebellion against them. He, who,
I may be ready to resist the law to-day, be-
Icauseit seems to bear hardly upon’ him,
■ may to-morrow require its assistance or
■protection, such an one will then be apt to
■think the most rigid monarchy preferable to
Bs.narchy, and will find no tyrant so cruel as
■a lawless mob.
■ It is the duty of the press, which arro
■gates to be the arbiter ofpublic opinion to
■labor earnestly and faithfully against this
■growing evil ; so far from doing so, we re
■sriiet that some portion of the press have been
Bworking to increase it. The most disorga-
Bnizing and agrarian doctrines have been
Riromulgated by it without rebuke, stay
Bus and relief schemes, the most unconsti-
Htutional and ruinous have been advocated
it; indeed we were tol l but a few davs
Hdnce by a loco foco paper advocating a
stop-law, that the Constitution was nothing
Hnore than “a rag of bleared, blotted, and
■obliterated parchment!” What should the
people think of the supreme law of the land
when they who pretend to guide their o
pinions hold such language in regard to it.
We rejoice that the contamination of
these doctrines has not spread to this por
tion of the State. Our citizens are reputed
law-abiding and orderly, and are deeply in
terested in preserving that reputation a
broad. No resistance to the duo course of
law will ever meet with countenance from
them, any attempt at such resistance will
excite among them no stronger emotion than
pity at its folly.
The Augusta Chronicle publishes the fol
lowing extract of a letter from Marietta,
Cobb Cos., Ga., to a firm in that city:
We seriously apprehend a general sus
pension of'the Law in the Western part of
Georgia. The Sheriff"sloped and preven
ted a court in Murray ; in Gilmer the Sher
ifl’failed to raise money and went off” to a
void a rule. We doubt whether there will
be a court in Walkeror Floyd. There is
a large majority of suspension men in the
Cherokee Country, and they will elect a
Sheriffwho will perjure himself for the pur
pose of disappointing the Courts.”
Last week at Talbot Superior Court,
Murdock, charged with the murder of a
man by the name of Thurmond, was tried
and convicted of the charge. The Judge
at a late hour on Saturday night, passed
sentence of death ; to be executed on Fri

Go-Betweens. —There is perhaps not a
more odious character in the world than
that of a go-between—by which I mean that
creature who carries to the ears of a neigh
bor every injurious observation that hap
pens to drop from the mouth of another.
Such a person is a slanderer’s herald, and
is altogether more odious than the black
venom’d slanderer himself.
Something New. —A fellow has been in
dicted by the grand jury of Baltimore, for
a libel, for publishing in the papers an ac
count of a marriage between parties that
had not occurred. This is the first time We
ever heard that charging people with get
ting married was slanderous.
Encke's Comet. —A correspondent of the
United States Gazette, has furnished some
calculations of the motions of Encke’s Com
et, according to which it is now approach
ing the earth at the rate of two millions of
miles a day. and its distance from us will
be reduced one-half in less than a month.
It is possible that it may be seen this week
or next, with a good telescope.
It appears that there are upwards of 600

The National lutefligencpr -avs. “The
office of First Comptroller of the Treasury,
the vacancy in which for a w eek or two
past has been the source of groat inconve
nience to public creditors, by preventing a

to that office of James W. McCnlloh, of Ma

the Senate.”
Two hundred and fifty emigrants from

Colton. —Of this article, there were over
one thousand millions of pounds picked in
the year 1840. The cotton growing States
rank in the following order: Mississippi
289 millions of pounds ; Alabama 240 mil
lions; South Carolina 148 millions ; Geor
gia 134 millions ; Tennessee 128 millions.
Debts of the States. —The total amount
of the debts of the several States and Terri
tories, including the District of Columbia,
is $186,928,730. New-Hampshire, Ver
mont, Rhode-Island, Connecticut, New-
Jersey, North Carolina, and Delaware, not
included, these States being out of debt.
It is stated that there is now due from the
Government to Indian Agents, near three
millions of dollars. A large part of this
money is due from the Agents to Merchants
inNew-York. This is one fact illustrating
the internal connexion which exists between
the integrity of the nation and that of its
citizens.— Journal of Commerce.

A Queer Error. —An Editor, speaking
of Mr. RobcrtTyler, wished to say that he
“ successfully courted the muses.” The

Perhaps their creditors will be less fastidi
ous.—N. Y. Tribune.
MR. CLAY AND MR. CALHOI N.
An interesting anecdote is told of the
meeting of Mr. Clay and Mr. Calhoun after
the former retired fi om the Senate, which
shows that polilioul strife, though it may for
awhile deaden the finer feelings of the
heart, cannot destroy them especially in
those hearts that beat with generous and
manly sensibilities. As Mr. Clay was
passing towards the door to leave the Senate
Chamber, Mr. Calhoun met him—they had
not spoken to each other for five years ; but
they now simultaneously extended their
hands, and rushed to each other’s arms ;
neither spoke, but both wept. At length
Mr. Clay said, on parting, “give my best
regards to Mrs. Calhoun.” How much
more noble was this reconciliation and part
ing, than if they had separated looking de
fiance at each other ! They had almost
spent their lives together in Congress, and
at various times stood shoulder to shoulder,
animated by patriotism and emulous only
of serving the country. Time had passed
over both, and the young had become old.
One was about to retire, and both must ere
long “ sleep the sleep that hath no wak
ing.” The retirement of the one would
leave the other with no companion or rival
of his younger days, and it told him em
phatically that he too must soon follow.—
Thoughts like these soften the heart not
wholly indurated, and cause the fountain of
generous feeling to gush forth ; it came,
and the two distinguished rivals and antag
onists under the influence of these sympa
thies were drawn together. Would that
they had never been separated.
You will be surprised when I tell you
that Mr. Clay drew tears from Col. Benton
during his farewell address ; yet I believe
there is no doubt of it.— Washington corres
pondent of the Phi/a. U. S. Gazette.
Washington, April 7.
THE UNITED STATES STEAM FRI
GATE AGROUND—LOSS OF
LIEUT. BORDEN AND
FIFTEEN MEN !
We understand that information was yes
terday received at the Navy Department,
that the U. S. steam frigate Missouri, Cant.
J. T. Newton, in ascending the Potomac
river, on her way to Washington, with a
pilot on board, ran aground on Monday, op
posite the harbor of Port Tobacco. Every
effort was immediately made to get her off,
by backing her engines and taking the guns
and other weighty articles aft. Lieut,
John F. Borden was sent out in charge of a
boat’s crew, with an anchor, for the pur
pose of heaving the vessel off; when, by
some means, the boat was most unfortun
ately swamped, and this meritorious officer
and fifteen men perished, while in the faith
ful performance of their duty.
So far as the facts of the case have come
to the knowledge of the Department, every
precaution usual in such cases seems to
have been taken by the officers, and there is
no reason to attach blame to them for this
deplorable accident. Os course, however,
the subject will be fully investigated in the
proper manner.
Immediately on receipt of the intelli
gence, the Mississippi, which had arrived
on Monday, was despatched to render aid,
if necessary. It was expected that the Mis
souri would be got off at the next high tide.
Madisonian.
Meeting in favor of Texas. —One of yes
terdays’s morning papers having announced
that a meeting would be held last evening
in the Park in favor of the Texians, about
two hundred persons assembled in front of
the City Hall at the hour named. But as
no platform had been erected for the speak,
ers, nor any other preparations made for a
meeting, those who assembled inferred, as
was the fact, that the announcement of the
meeting was a hoax. One loafer-loob
genius, hO'Wever, got upon the top of the
steps leading to the Hall, and harrangued
the meeting, for some ten minutes, during
which he loudly called on them to march
“against Mexico.” His harrangue, seemed
to have but little effect on the audience.—
When he had cohcluded, a ragged urchin
about 12 years old took his place, and with
a most humorous tone and attitude, said.—
“Friends ofTexas, I propose myselffor the
office of brigadier General.” The urchin’s
address excited no little laughter, and the
meeting immediately adjourned.— N. Y.
Jour. Com.
Rhode Island. — The Result. —The peo
ple of Rhode Island have rejected the prof
fered new constitution. The factionists
will attempt now to force upon the people
the ultra jacobinical constitution framed last
autumn by the illegal convention got up by
Dutee J. Pearce & Cos. Meantime, says
the Providence Journal, “ we fall back up
on the old charter which has carried the
state safely through worse trials than those
which now threaten it. The General As
sembly will meet in this cityjnext Monday,
and will take such measures for the securi
ty of the state as the present exigency may
require: and whatever measures may be
found necessary the General Assembly will
find themselves fully sustained by the peo
ple. We are satisfied that there wilL be no
shrinking on the part of the General Assem
bly ; no desertion of the government on the
pari of the people.— N. Y. Com.
Rochester, N. Y., March 31.—John She- I
ridan Hogan, the man who was lately ar
rested at Lock port charged with participa
tion in the Caroline outrage and murder of
Amos Durfee, was last evening arrested at
this city upon the same charge, and com
mitted to jail at his own request till to-mor
row afternoon.
He was arrested just as he was getting j
into a stage coach, for the purpose of going !
down to tho landing to e.'nbark on the steam
boat Toronto. He asks no fa\"9 rs > alß l talks j
largely of wooden walls and the protection
ol his Government. The Police Justice, _
his request, postponed his examination till j
to-morrow afternoon. Ho sent over to Can I
ada notice of his arrest, by the steamboat
Gore, which will be at Toronto to-morrow !
morning, and in the meantime he lies in- I
glorious in Monroe county jail, in the cell j
formerly occupied by William Lyon Mac- :

Rebellion. —We copy the following from
an article in the Morgantown (Va.) Repub
lican. It shows a bad state of things :
“We are told that in the adjoining county
of Harrison, the Deputy Sheriffs have
thrown up and gave notice to the high Sher
iff that they will no longer act, and that in
the lower end of the same count}', the peo
ple nut to the number of four hundred or
more, and passed resolutions that during the
present state of affairs, they would resist the
collection of debts by the officers of the law.
r I bey entered into an agreement to chastise
and ride upon a rail, any man who would
attend a sale of executed property for the
purpose of bidding for it, and a number of
other resolutions of the same import and
bearing.”
Manufactures in the South. —A letter to
the Editors of the Nat. Intel, from a res.
pectable gentleman in the State ofN. Car
olina, under date of March 25th, 1842,
says: “We have now in this State twenty
cotton factories, worked by, 1 presume, more
than 1,800 white operatives ; and, although
North Carolina will not obtrude herself
upon the time ofCongress with petitions for
a discriminating tariff, yet She is to be vi
tally affected by it, in the success of those
large factories recently established. lam
now shipping a i<:t of goods directly to New
Bedford, and expect to supply that market
with a proportion of what they require for
shipment around Cape Horn. Southern
goods stand high in New-York, Philadel
phia, and other markets into which they
have been introduced.”
A Ludicrous Loss. —During the disas
trous retreat of Sir John Moore to Corrun- j
na, an officer of Highland infantry was sent j
in command of a detachment, to clear away |
any obstacle that the then existing bad j
weather might have thrown in the front of;
the Army. As they were busily employ- j
ed in clearing away some trees, they were \
suddenly interrupted by hearing a sharp fi- 1
ring close to them, and on their proceeding
to the place where the sound came from, \
they found themselves in the midst of a
sharp skirmish, occasioned bv the French
having attacked the escort of a carriage
containing tho person of a noble Spanish la
dy. By the arrival of the British, the skir- j
mish was brought to a speedy conclusion ; j
and, when the lady, on inquiring of the com I
mander if he was unhurt, cast her eyes on [
his bare legs, she said : “ The Virgin and :
all the Saints be praised ! ho has escaped j
with only the loss of his breeches!”
From the Chronicle <s• Sentinel, 6th inst.
