Cor. oj the Southern Recorder. 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. J- H. Smith, .1 ’ J. Singleton, F. J. Sullivan, Win. Woods, F. W. Lucas, E. W. Cole, 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.

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 FEMALE IN GE N UIT Y. 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 cri wn the wlnifee, my gallant lover is now my dulgem husband, my fond:;’ is returned, and I might have had a Prince, with the felicity I find with him. Adieu ! may you he as blessed asl am happy.

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. Periodicals* The Magnolia. —This interesting and a blv conducted monthly has been removed J to Charleston, S. C., and will be published j hereafter by’ Messrs. Burges & James of j that city. The principal objects of the re. | movnl being an improvement in its mechan ical appearance and to secure the more im mediate supervision of its new and highly gifted editor William Gilmore Simms —the public may expect a work which will do honor to the South, and in every way prove I worthy of their patronage and support. The Ladies’ Companion. —The June No. of this valuable periodical has come to hand, with its usual variety of rich and at tractive productions, and embellished with a beautiful engraving of the City of Wash ington. Rhode Ixland. Our late papers give little information of | the progress ol insurrectionary movements 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 | ward which they justly merit. 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.— ; The living and the dead were consumed to- O iT° s hc r From the Columbia Chronicle. 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.” M A R R IED) At Athens, Ga. on the 7th instant, by the Rev.
