Dahlonf.qa, Ga., May 30, 1842.
Messrs. Grieve & Or me :
Gentlemen:—lt affords me great pleas
sure to be able to inform you not only of the
continuation of the richness of the gold
mines generally, hut of a vast increase of
the product ot the mine owned by the lion.
John C. Calhoun, called the Oboeemiuc.
The amount dug by Messrs. Sisson &
Lawrence, in said mine, with sixteen hands,
in the two weeks ending the 21st instant,
was 432.) pennyweights of gold. The a
mount dug by them in said mine, with the
same number of hands, during the week
ending the 28th instant, was 2481 dwt. of
gold, making in the three weeks 7810 dwt.
of gold. This gold is coarse and ragged,
varying in the size of the particles, from
dust gold to pieces two and a half to three
inches long. The proportion of fine gold is
about one-tenth of its quantity.
On Saturday last, the richness of this
mine becoming more and more certain, it
was visited and examined by a number of
gentlemen; of which number was Doctor
John M. McAfee, Adolphus Rutherford,
Samuel Rutherford, Benjamin Milner, Jas.
I/. llarvi!l, and Willis Milner, and some
of them having descended about fifty feet
into the hill and examined the vein, Mr.
Lawrence dug out a quantity of the vein
ore, and it being pulverized in a spice mor
tar, one panful of the same not exceeding
five quarts, yielded two hundred and sixty
pennyweights ofgold. There was ajso ta
ken out of the vein by Lawrence, McAfee,
and Rutherford, another panful of the ore
of the same size, which bein'’ pul and
yielded the large amount of three hundred
and forty pennyweights of gold—the two
panfulls actually yielded six hundred pen
nyweights. The company continued mi
ning, and includingthc gold from the said
two panfuls, collected in one day the a
tnount of 1463 dwts. The whole of the a
bove amount ofgold is in the hands of Mr.
C. B. Sisson, at this place, and has been
examined by a great number of citizens and
travellers.
We certify that the above statement oi
the product of the said mine, owned by ;h
Hon. John C. Calhoun, istme, and that we
saw the gold in the possession ofMr.Chas.
B. Sisson.

E. H. Wingfield, A. G. Wimpy,
John M. McAfee, 11. Somerour.
May 30, 1842.
On last Friday Mr. Cochran and Mr.
Fletcher, pulverized nine pounds of the
best ore dug on the Battle Branch Mines,
which yielded sixty penny weights of gold.
The other gold mines in this region are
yielding a steady and fair profit to the own
ers ami minors. Paul Rossignol, Esq, the
director of the Branch Mint at tliis place,
has informed me that the amount issued in
last month, was nearly double the amount
issued in April, 1841, and that the deposite
for this month exceeded one thousand dol
lars per day. Ido hope anil trust that the
advocates of retrenchment in Congress of
all parties, will pause and reflect before
they abolish this Branch Mint, especially
when they perceive the expense of its con
tinuance will not annually exceed ten thou
sand dollars. This little item of expense
should be borne without a murmur. It is
not equal in amount to the expense of anv
ofour foreign missions. We are sending
ambassadors, and other public ministers to
foreign nations, not as large in point of ter
ritory and importance in the scale of nations
as the State of Georgia, and we do not object
to it: but, sirs, of what benefit is that to us,
when compared to the benefits resulting
to our State and nation from this coinage ?
I am clearly convinced beyond all doubt
that this gold region will be wrought with
great success for centuries to come ; and I
hope you will, as public journalists of the
day, aid in sustaining this Branch Mint, &
sustain this generation in all laudable ef
forts to improve the currency of these times.
I am, with great respect, your fellow cit
izen, S. DOULASS CRANE.
We certify that the foregoing statements
in relation to the mining operations on the
mine owned by the Hon John C. Calhoun,
on Saturday last, are true ; and that we
saw the vein ore dug out of the earth more
than fifty feet under ground ; and that ma
ny pieces ofgold fell out of the earth as it
detached from the vein, and some of the pie
ces of Fine gold would weigh four or five
pennyweights each, and the vein grows rich
as it descends. John M. McAfee,

Paixhan Guns. —The Paixham gun dif
fers from a common 44, in having a very
wide chamber ; the metal is also very thick
at the chamber. The bore at the muzzle
is also larger than the bore of a 44 poun
der, but this depends of course upon the
size of the ball. The hollow shot range
from 65 to 120 pounds, to fire which latter
ball, 10 pounds of powder are necessary.—
A pound of powder is placed inside of the
ball—a fuse is attached which will burn
about ten seconds—the ball is then placed
in the gun with the fuse turned from the
powder. When it is fired, the flame envel
oping the ball sets fire to the fuse, which is
intended to explode the ball, after it is bu
ried in the object. Os the devastating effects
of these missiles every one has heard.
At a late Bible class examination, the
master having asked, ‘ what is said of John
the Baptist ?’ received the following an
swer :
‘ And this ere John came up out of the
wilderness, and he was clothed in cammo
miles hair, and he was girt about the neck
with a leather bridle, and bis meat was lo
cos and wild onions.’
Two thirds of the people of the U. S. be- i
long to the non producing class of popula- j
tion. In England the proportion is even j
larger. No wonder the times are hard. 1

Secret Correspondence. —A young lady,
newly married, being obliged to show her
husband, all the letters she wrote, sent the
following to an intimate friend.
“ I cannot he satisfied my dearest friend !
blessed as 1 am in the matrimonial state,
unless l pour into your friendly bosom,
which has ever been in unison with mine,
the various sensations which swells
with the liveliest emotions of pleasure,
my almost bursting heart. 1 tell you my dear
husband is one of the most amiable of men
I have been married seven weeks, and
have never yet found the least reason to
repent the day that joined us ; my husband is
in person and manners far from resembling
ugly, cross, old, disagreeable and jealous
monsters, who think by confining to secure ;
a wife, it is bis maxim, to treat ns a
bosom friend and confidant, and not as a
plaything or menial si, no, the woman
chosen to he his companion. Neither party
ho says, ought to obey implicitly ;
An ancient maiden aunt, near seventy,
a cheerful venerable and pleasant old lady,
lives in the bouse with us; she is the de
light of both young and old; she is ci
vil to all in the neighborhood around,
generous and charitable to the poor,
1 know my husband loves nothing more
than he does me ; he .flatters me more
than the ‘glass, and his intoxication,
(for so I must call the excess of his love)
often makes me blush for the unworthiness
of its object & wish [could be more deserving
of the man whose name I boar. To
say all in a word, my dear, , and to

W ASHINGTON, GA.
THI RSDAY, JUNE 16, 1842.
Slale SSiglit*; am! Eiari'isoii
UoiiveHtioii.
We are indebted to the Georgia Journal,
received by yesterday’s mail,. for the fol
j lowing information of the proceedings of
! that body :
| THE STATE RIGHTS AND HARRI
SON CONVENTION,
j The members of this Body commenced
assembling in our town, on Saturday eve
ning. On Sunday, they came in crowds,
and on yesterday they’ assembled at the
State House in the Representative Cham
, her. Their number exceeded greatly what
J we had anticipated being, and thus far,
| there has appeared nothing hut the most
| friendly feeling prevailing,notwithstanding
the delegates from different sections of the
State have been industriously engaged, in
advocating the claims of different gentle
men to a nomination bv the Body. On mo
tion of Mr. Toombs, for the purpose of or
ganization Gen. Wimberly, of Twiggs
county, was called to the Chair, and on mo
j tion of Mr. Jenkins, of Richmond, Mr.
Thweatt, a delegate from the county of
Baldwin, was appointed Secretary. The
Secretary then proceeded to call the coun
ties, and to record the names of the dele
gates, a list of which wc shall give next
week ; after which, on motion of Mr. Jen
kins, the Hon. W. C. Dawson a delegate
from the county of Green, was nominated
President of the Convention.
Mr. Dawson, in taking the seat assigned
him, in a brief address, tendered his ac
knowledgements.
On motion of I. L. Harris, Esq. a dele
gate from the county of Baldwin, Messrs.
J. 11. Steele, and J. S. Wright, were ap
pointed Secretaries.
The Convention being thus fully organ
ized, Mr. Wilde, a delegate from the coun
ty of Richmond, offered the following :
Resolved, That the expression of opinion
which have reached us from a large num
ber the People of this State in their prima
ry assemblies, touching the Presidential E
lection ; the instructions given to many of
this Body by their constituents on that sub
ject, and the discretionary powers respec
ting it entrusted to others, be referred to a
committee of to consider and report
thereon.
On motion of Mr. Nesbit, a delegate from
the county of Bibb, the blank was filled
with twenty-one.
The Resolution was then unanimously
adopted.
The Committee appointed by the chair
are Messrs. Wild, Wimberly, Nesbit, Bil
lups, Wright, Watkins, Thomas, Caruthers,
While of Columbia, Grieve, McKinzi.e, Bcs
sant, Alden, Patterson, Brown, Stephens,
Sayre, Shaw, Smead, Guyton, and Harmon.
Mr. Thweatt offered the following, which
was unanimously adopted :
Resolved, That the rules governing the
House of Representatives of the Legisla
ture, be adopted for the government of this
Convention during its deliberations.
After which the Convention adjourned
until three o’clock, P. M.
In addition to the above, we have receiv
ed through a correspondent, the following
account of the after proceedings :
3 O'clock, F. M.
The Convention met pursuant to adjourn- j
ment.
The Commifteo of twenty.oftc, through
Mr. Wilde their chairman, made their Re
port. After offering a very eloquent and
lengthy address to the peoplo of Georgia,
(a copy of which I have been unable to ob
tain,) they presented the following resolu
tions :
Resolved, That HENRY CLAY, is the
choice of the Whig and State Rights party
of Georgia for the Presidency of the United
States.
Resolved, That in relation to the Vice-
Presidency, there is no pressing exigency
for immediate action, and that we will
frankly confer and heartily unite with our
brethren throughout the Union in the selec
tion of a fit and proper person for that of
fice, worthy of our votes and confidence,
without regard to the question whether he
he an available, but only whether ho is a
reliable candidate.
Some discussion ensued as to the adop
tion of the first resolution.
Mr. Billups, ofClark, opposing it on the
ground that the fit time for making a nomi
nation for the Presidency had not yet arriv
ed, but at the same time declaring himself
a warm friend of Mr. Clay.
Mr. Thweatt, of Baldwin, also made some
remarks in opposition.
Messrs. Nesbit and Totnnbs replied, and
the question being put, was carried for its
adoption, with only eight or ten dissenting
voices.
The second Resolution was unanimously
adopted.
The Convention then adjourned until to
morrow morning 8 o'clock.
Fifty-five Counties are represent
ed in the Convention by about 160 mem
bers. I have heard it frequently remarked
that a more unanimous, numerous and res
pectable Convention has never convened in
this place. The cry is universal from eve
ry section of Georgia for “ CLAY and a
BANK.”
Tuesday Morning, 8 o'clock.
After the Journal was read, a resolution
was offered by Mr. Ashurst, of Putnam, and
agreed to, that 5,000 copies of the Address
reported by the Committee of twenty-one,
be printed, and the expense be defrayed by
the Convention.
A motion was then made to proceed to
the nomination of eight Candidates to repre
sent Georgia in the 28th Congress, and it
was determined that the nomination be
made by ballot, each county not represent
ed fully to be entitled to its full number of
votes.
Communications from Hon. Thomas F.
Foster and James M. Meriwether, declining
a nomination were read, and lion. Lott
Warren, through a friend, also declined be
ing considered a candidate.
The Convention then proceeded to nomi
nate a Congressional Ticket, and the fol
lowing gentlemen, upon counting the votes,
were declared nominated :
It. W. HABERSHAM, of Habersham.
It. L. GAMBLE, of Jefferson.
T. B. KING, of Glynn.
RICHARD 11. WILDE, ofßhhmond.
A. 11. KENNAN, of Baldwin.
A. 11. CHAPPELL, of Bibb.
A. R. WRIGHT, of Cass.
P. 11. SMEAD, of Talbot.
Mr. Wilde, in a short speech, presented
some reasons why he should be excused
from serving as a candidate, and offered a
resolution to that effect, but not bein'; able
to find a second, the resolution was lost.
A Committee of eleven was appointed to
fill any vacancies which might occur in the
Ticket, and having passed a resolution of
thanks to the President, Mr. Dawson, and
to the Secretaries Messrs. Wright and Steele
for the efficient manner in which they per
formed the duties of their offices the Con
vention then adjourned sine die.
Central Blank.
Below we give a paragraph from the Au
gusta Chronicle and Sentinel of Tuesday
last, from which our readers may gather
some intimation of the present condition of
the issues of that greatest of all humbugs,
the Central Bank. This is the Institution
which, pregnant with bounty and munifi
cence, was in the hands of that skillful and
patriotic accoucheur Governor McDonald,
to bring forth its mighty resources and scat
ter blessings and plenty throughout the
land. It is time the people of Georgia had
ceased to be duped and deluded by the
treacherous schemes of aspiring dema
gogues :
“ We deem it due to our readers, many
of whom rely upon our quotations for their
negotiations, to state that since our report
on Wednesday last, ofthe value of Central
Bank Notes, the tendency has been con
stantly downward, until they have reached
•JO to 22 per cent discount, with every indi
cation ofa still further depreciation, and we
should not be surprised to see them at 25
per cent discount in less than a week.—
Hurra for tiro “ PEOPLE’S BANK !” say
we.” _
Off” Nathan Appleton, Esq. has been e
locted member of Congress from Massachu
setts, in place of R. C. Winthrop, resigned,
by a majority of 1,394 votes over all other
candidates.
Qir The apportionment Bill has passed the
Senate, retaining the District System. The
only amendment is as to the ratio, which is
altered to 70,680. In this the House will
probably concur
Governor Barbour died at his residence
in Virginia, on the Bth instant.

The Magnolia. —This interesting and a
blv conducted monthly has been removed
J to Charleston, S. C., and will be published

ical appearance and to secure the more im
mediate supervision of its new and highly
gifted editor William Gilmore Simms —the

tractive productions, and embellished with
a beautiful engraving of the City of Wash

Rhode Ixland.
Our late papers give little information of

iat that State. Below we give a paragraph
from the Providence Journal of the 3d inst.
j indicating that these rebels against the laws
j and good order of society’ are reaping a rc

Arrest for Treason. — William 11. Smith,
| claiming to act as Secretary of State under
| the pretended “People’s Constitution,” was
i arrested last Thursday evening on a charge
!of Treason against the State. He was
j brought before .fustic Drown and pleaded
j not guilty, admitting, howev'° r , that lie had
| acted Secretary of State, but affi."'ning that
I ho had a right to do so, and that the? law
! under which he was arrested had been iT
j pealed. He was committed for trial. We
do not learn that he has applied to the Jus
j tieesof the Supreme Court to be admitted
jto hail. Mr. Smith was at the late meeting
; at Woonsocket, and it is said that he then
issued military commissions, in the name
| of the State, to several of the men who had
I assembled there.
FOR Til” news and planters’ gazette.
i Mr. Editor. —Dear Sir: Feeling dispo
! sed to have the interest of this section of the
State of Georgia represented in the 23th
Congress of the United States, I do respect
fully ask of you the singular favor, (we not
having a public Gazette in Washington,)
of publishing this communication. Allho’
opposed to you in politics, we feel person
ally your friend, and believe you will not
withhold your friendly aid toothers when,
it will not disadvantage you or the cause
you advocate, and we expecting not to be
represented in the Democratic Convention,
to be holden in Milledgeville on Monday
next, would politely recommend through
the medium of your paper for the considera
tion ofthat body, the name of MICAJAH
HENLEY, Esq. a suitable person as a can
didate, on the Democratic Ticket for the
next Congressional election. We know that
p
i no sacrifice whatever on his part, will be
: too dear to make him carryout the great
principles of the party to which he belongs.
He has always defended them in the dark
j est hours to the utmost of his abilities to the
great detriment of his private affairs, and we
think such a nomination would meet the
views of a large majority’ of the Democrats
in die vicinity of LINCOLN.
[by request.]
“ These are hardly the times when we
should relax in the execution of the law.
Vice now seems almost contagious, and the
crime of to-day, extraordinary and aggra
vated as it appears, is eclipsed by and for
gotten in the crime of to-morrow. Vil
lainy, which, according to vulgar belief,
has hitherto been confined .'o the poor and
the ignorant, has in our day no chosen fa
vorites ; or if she has, she caresses only
j those whose wealth, education, and associa
| dons in life, one would suppose, would have
placed them beyond the motive or the temp
tation to commit a base or dishonorable ac
tion. To stay tins career of crime, I see no
j remedy but in pure, prompt and fearless
execution of the law. Liberty and law are
the same. And though we may boast of
government, unless life and property and
reputation are protected and upheld by ad
ministering the law to all alike, we have,
in fact, no Virtue, no Liberty, and no Inde
pendence.”—Judge Doran.
MORE MURDERS IN FLORIDA.
From the Florida Star of the 9th install!,
we extract the following :
“On Wednesday 7th inst., about 2 o’,
clock in the afternoon, a party of about for
ty Indians, came upon the plantation of
Capt. Robinson, near the Sandy Ford, on
the Suwannee River. Capt. Robinson’s
three sons and a hired man, were plough
ing in a field ; they were all simultaneous
ly fired upon by Indians : three of the
young men were shot dead, the other mor
tally wounded. Capt. Robinson who was
at some distance from the young men, when
he first saw the Indians and heard the re
port of their rifles, fled towards his house ;
when lie approached it, he found another
party of Indians already in the yard, he saw
iiis wife and daughter, break from the house
and endeavor to escape. Mrs. R. was shot,
and fell wounded ; the daughter was pur
sued by an Indian who caught her by her
hair as she fled, and cutting her throat with
his knife, dragged her back to the house,
and with her wounded mother she was
thrust within doors and the house fired.— ;

LOCO FOCO MENDACITY.
The impudence of the Loco Foco Press
j in charging the Whig party wiib having
created a National Debt, in order that they
might lay a protective Tariff, certainly ex
j ceeds anything in the history of mendacity.
M e doubt if Old Nick himself, the great
I Dagon oi Locofoeoism, could make such an
j assertion without blushing blue from the
end of his horns to the tip of his tail.—
j D hat! is it possible that the Whigs in the
j short space of one year have run the coun
j try in debt 17,000,000 of dollars !! In that
j brief period, too that has been signalized by
j a powerful faction, composed of both par
j ties in Congress, striving to embarrass the
| Executive by withholding the necessary
supplies for carrying on the government!
We wish they would be kind enough toad
! duco one single appropriation that has been
i made since the W higs came into power
j that was not absolutely required by the
j government. They cannot do it. “ The
I stigma of having created a national debt
j belongs to Democracy and Martin Van
! Buren. It was, however, industriously
concealed from the people until
they went out of power, when the Whigs,
revealed it in figures that could not lie.—
Their own reports, moreover, fasten the
falsehood upon them. Mr. Woodbury, Sec
retary of the Treasury under Mr. Van Bu
ren, in his reports shows, that for the last
four years of Mr. Van Burens Administra
tion the expenses exceeded the income of
the government over thirty millions of dol
lars, and that without the issue of Treasu
ry Notes the Government would have been
compelled to suspend its operations!—
Where was their great anxiety for reform
then, when they had the power in their own
hands ? Did they retrench in their extrav
agance when they knew the government
was in debt ? No : in the spring of 1811
they made extravagant appropriations when
they knew that the income of the gov
ernment could not half meet them. It was
done tn.'V the Whigs might fail in carrying
on the Government. To make up this de
ciency the extra session had to be called,
and the extra expensf- incurred for that pur
pose, is therefore justly .chargeable to the
! Loco foco Party. ‘ And yet tiV-se sanctified
i hypocrites are harping upon “ Whig ex
travagance,” and lustily callingout fb’. v ‘'re
form.” Their zeal for reform, now, w.'R
not avail them : their acts, when they had
the power, give the lie to their professions.
“ Sam Houston.” —General Houston, it
is said, by the Cincinnati Messenger, has
within the last few years, become entirely
changed in his character. He used to
swear terribly, and with the most music
al voice and the sweetest manner in the
world. Now he never even says “ d—n it.”
Ho used to drink in a manner awful to tee
totallers—now he does not even taste a
mild tumbler of beer. More than all, he
has married a young and beautiful wife ;
and this, perhaps has been the secret of his
reform. He is a gentleman in his man
ners, the handsomest man in Texas, and is
bent upon conquest and immortality'.
Marriage Licences. —A ludicrous mistake
in procuring marriage license occurred in
Sandersville not long since. A love sick
swain came to town in a hurry and enquired
for the Clerk’s office, and was directed to
the Court House, hut instead ofgoing to the
Clerk of the Court of ordinal - }', he went to
the Clerk of'tho inferior Court. That dig
nitary proceeded to fill out a retail license,
and a bond for the young man to sign, with
security. The Clerk asked the stranger
whoso name he should insert as security to
his bond. The young man said that he
would go out and look up some person, that
he did not know before, that he had to give
security. He said iiis brother had got mar
ried lately, and he did’nt give security.—
This explained the affair, and the young
man was referred to the proper officer.—
Sandersville Telescope.
“Pray can you tell me the way to the
penitentiary ?” asked a stranger. “Yes
sir—-pick the first man’s pocket you meet.”

lie ware or a Rascal .
rpiHE public are hereby cautioned to beware
j JL of a man calling himself WILLIAM 11.
| TAYLOR, who recently made an attempt to
murder his wife in Oglethorpe county, and has
departed to parts unknown, where he had better
remain, to avoid a merited situation in the Peni
tentiary of this State for his rascality. This fel
low came to reside in this county about eight,
years ago, and by his artful and hypoe ritical man
ners, being a line looking man, so Jn ingratiated
; lmnself into good society. F. e iinfortunateK
married my daughter, and they have four chil
dren. lay lor told’his wife, just before be runa
way, that he left a wife and, four children in North
Carolina, and when he lived there went by the
name of JAMES I IF, NR Y HILL, but when he
came to this coni',y he called himself WIL
LIAM H. TAYLOR, and passed himself oft'as
a young man P/ithout a family. To prevent this
fellow’s further deception, 1 wifi now give his
description: Taylor is a spare built man, of good
appearance, about live feet six inches high, black
eyes and hair, dark complexion, and is very fond
of liquor, and when drinking-cannot talk plain ;
lie is a good fiddler, and a first-rate boot and shoe
maker by trade ; he is generally very lively and
lull ol talk, and well calculated to deceive any
one. lam thus particular, that the rascal may
be known, and prevented tr;:_ practising similar
rascality elsewhere.
ICr* The papers in North and Fouth CarotiiM
will, perhaps, bo gendering a kindness, by pub
lishing the.above, that the public in ly be on their
guard against this accomplished rascal.
