NEWS AND GAZETTE. WASHINGTON, GA. THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 1844. FOR PRESIDENT, NOTICE. We are requested to give notice that there will be a meeting of’ the . Whigs of Wilkes county, on Tues day the 13th of February instant, at the Court-House in Washing ton, for the purpose of organizing a Clay Club. A full attendance is particularly desired. OCT We have received from lion. A. H. Stephens, a copy of his reply to Mark A. Cooper’s charges of untruth and misrepre sentation against him, contained in an ad dress made by the said Mark to the voters of Murray county. All these charges Mr. Stephens triumphantly refutes, and effect ually places the stigma of untruth where it ought to be, on his assailant. As Major Cooper is politically defunct, and nothing that he can say or do, or that can be said or done about him is of much importance, we have omitted the republi cation of Mr. Stephens’ address. Oir’ Mr. Calhoun’s expected manifesto has been published. We shall endeavor to re-publish it in our next. He declines any nomination from the Baltimore Demo cratic Convention, and leaves the field to be contested between Messrs. Clay and Van Buren. Os course the Democratic papers who have kept the flag of Mr. Calhoun fly ing rather languidly for some time, will now haul it down and hoist the Kinder hooker's. A letter from Mr. Clay, to the Clay Club of Montgomery, Ala., gives some in formation as to the time he will be in Geor gia. The Whigs of the different places on his route are already making preparations for his reception, and his welcome here will be from present indications, most en thusiastic—a most striking contrast to the progress made by Mr. Van Buren through this State some time since. New Ok leans, 6th Jan., 1844. Gentlemen. —I have received here your friendly letter, inquiring the time of my ar rival at Montgomery, in my route to the Southern Atlantic States ; and I take great pleasure in communicating the desired in formation, as far as practicable. I purpose leaving this city on the 25th of February for Mobile, where I shall remain a few days. I wish to take my departure from that city, the Ist, 2d or 3d of March, according to circumstances. You can judge better than I the requisite time to make the voyage to Montgomery. I shall be most happy to meet and exchange friendly sal utations, in that city, with any of my fellow citizens who may be desirous of seeing me. I am, with great respect, Your friend and ob’t. serv’t. H. CLAY. Messrs. R. D. Ware, and others, Committe. OfF The dissatisfaction at the present rates of postage has gone to such an extent at the North, that mails have been estab lished to run in opposition to the U. S. Mails. As the Government have by law the monopoly ®f the business of carrying mails, a suit will probably be soon institu ted to test the constitutionality of its exclu sive privilege. The following notice of the private mail establishment appears in the New York Journal ofCommerce. “ The American Mail Company have es tablished Post Offices in New York, Phila delphia, Baltimore and Boston. Mails will run daily between the several offices, and twice a day between this city and Philadel phia. The mails hence to Boston and Phi ladelphia will commence running to-mor row afternoon. Postage cents for each half ounce, irrespective of distance. The mail for Philadelphia closes at 8 A. M., and 4| P. M.; that for Boston at 3£ P. M. The Company convey letters only. Electors of President. —The next elec tion for President will be decided under the new apportionment ofthe electors; & for the convenience of politicians we give the following statement of the number to which each State will be entitled. Lnv it by, or cut it out and put it up, that you may be pre pared for calculation; Maine 9, New Hampshire 6, Massachu setts 12, Vermont 6, Rhode Island 4, Con necticut 6, New York 36, New Jersey 7, Pennsylvania 26, Delaware 3, Maryland 8, Virginia 17, North Carolina 11, South Carolina 1), Georgia 10, Alabama 9, Louisi ana 6, Mississippi 6, Tennessee 13, Ken tucky 12, Ohio 21, Indiana 11, Michigan 5, Illinois 9, Missouri 7, Arkansas 3. Total 275. Necessary for a choice 138. — Dem. Signal. The Election and the State of Dade. —We have at last heard from the State of Dade, and the returns from there state, that Gen era! Sanford is duly, fairly and “constitu tionally” elected over “ Colonel Clinch.” Behind the times are our ‘feller sittisens ” of Dade ! We must take the liberty of in formingthem that our candidate, General Clinch, was at least equal in point of mili tary dignity, to theirs, and that, despite what Dade has done, Clinch has been fair ly elected lo represent Georgia in the Con gress of the United States. But we will pardon our friends of Dade county for their Democratic propensities thus far, if they will only do a little better next time. We learn that there is a con siderable sprinkling of “Clay Bank Demo crats” in that mountain country ; if so, and they will only give a handsome majority for Henry Clay, over the “Kinderhook Juggler,” we shall he content. If other wise, we shall petition that Da<le be made a part ofthe new State, Frankland, which Tennessee is desirous of forming. Dade gave to Sanford 83 and Clincli 17 votes. This makes General Clinch’s ma jority, 4390, which is a gain since October of 1002 votes for the Whig Party of Geor gia. The full vote for Clinch is 33,506, and for Sanford 29,116. —Georgia Journal. The scenes that have been witnessed in the present House of Representatives, day after day, ami the language heard in that Hall have been such as would more befit a cock-pit than a legislative body. “False hood,” “ brand of untruth,” “go to your master,” Ac. are of the terms used by mem bers upon the floor, and in debate. “ Dam ned lie,” “ lies enough to damn a common wealth,” “ Murrel gang,” “ under the ta ble and he damned to it,” “ Clay or any of his dirty co-adjutors, or any of his damned dirty work,” and others of similar charac ter, are epithets and expressions freely u sed by members in their seats, not solto voce, hut in a tone loud enough to be heard by tile whole House, as well as the galleries. Washington Standard. New Stock. —The Baltimore Clipper says, a single share in a Diving Bell, built by subscription, shares originally SIOO, was sold the other (lav. for six hundred.— It is designed for the Spanish Main, to search fora Spanish 74, which went down some years ago, with $3,000,000 in specie on board, 96 brass cannon, and a vast num ber ofgold and silver images, for the Ho man Catholic Churches. After the vessel was sunk, the pilot went down in a diving hell, and brought up $32,000 but was ar rested by the Spanish Government, for ac ting without authority in the premises. Os course, lie was made to disgorge. The present company is authorized by the Gov ernment ofSpain. Pensioners. —From tho report of the Commissioners on Pensions, we learn that there arc on the pension rolls 27, 728 pen sioners. Os this number, 14,886 are re ceiving pensions under the act of June 7, 1832. New York has the largest number of pensions under each of the 7 acts of Congress by which pensions are laid. During the last year 3819 pensioners were added to the rolls, and 2554 of this number under the act of March 1843. The deaths reported to the Department du ring the year were 1248, and it is presumed there were many deaths not known to the Department. — N. Y. Express. Rowan Gold Mines. —We have in this county the richest gold mine tiiat has ever yet been discovered in the United States. It is a small vein, from four to twelve inch es wide; many bushels of the materiel taken from it have overgone S2OO to the bushel and some as high as SSOO. VVe see it sta ted in the Mecklenberg Jeffersonian that 11, 876 dwt. of gold had been taken from it bv seven hands about a month since. As might bo expected in so small a vein, the water soon became unmanageable, and they began again at the surface, and struck a vein parallel to the first, and nearly as rich as that. These veins, as also ail those in that region, are believed to in crease in richness and size as they descend. There are six or eight other mines in the same region, of extraordinary richness, and different in many particulars from the oth er vein-mines in North Carolina.—Salis bury (N. C ) Watchman. RATES OF POSTAGE. The following are the rates of postage provided for in the bill lately introduced by Mr. Merrick in the United States Senate : Postage on all letters under 100 miles,s cts. do do over do 10 All newspapers free within the county where they are published. Do. out of the county and of the size say 0f1325 square inches un der 100 miles, £ do do over 100 miles 1 All pamphlets and other printed mat ter of every description, per ounce If the five cent rate of postage were made to cover a greater distance, say on all let ters carried 300 miles or under, and the postage on newspapers conveyed to any point within the State where printed put at half a cent, wc think the provisions of the bill would meet pretty general appropria tion. True, there would be some grum bling; indeed, we have already something in the line in the New York Express ; but the great mass of letter writers and letter receivers would for the present be satisfied. We hope, therefore, that some such amend ments as we have suggested, will be made in the bill. One thing, however is certain ly required, and it cannot be too often reit erated, to wit, that some reduction of the rates, and that a great one, must be made by the present Congress, whatever the Post- 1 muster General may urge to the contrary. Augusta Chronicle. From the Globe of January 24. CONGRESS. Tho Senate to-day was occupied upon the resolution reported from the Finance Committee to postpone indefinitely the hill introduced by Mr. McDuffie to reduce the rates of duties under tho present tarill’to the standurdofihecornpronii.se act. Mr. Wood bury, who was entitled to the floor, did not have an opportunity to address the Senate, as was expected, in reply to Mr. Evans.— He was prevented by an effort made to arrest the debate in the latitude which it had taken on the merits of the tariff’ bill of the last Congress, and to confine it to the constitutional power of the Senate to origi nate revenue laws. As there appeared, iu the then state of the question, to be no other mode to reach that object, Mr. Archer moved to lay the bill and resolution of the Finance Committee on the table ; hut waived the motion to afford Mr. McDuffie an opportunity lo reply to the arguments of the Senator from Maine, (Mr. Evans,) which occupied two days in tho delivery.— ! The question was then posponed till Mon day next, when it will be disposed of. The morning hour in the House of Re presentatives was taken up with the discus sion of the report of the Select Committee on the Rules, Mr. Winthrop concluded his remarks in opposition to the twenty-first rule, and Mr. Payne of Alabama addres sed the House in favor of retaining it. Mr. Wright of Indiana then got the floor, but before he had spoken more than one or two minutes, the Speaker announced the expi i ration of the hour. The Speaker laid be fore the House several executive commu nications ; after which, on motion by Mr. Owen of Indiana, tho House resolved itself into a Committee of the Whole on the state ofthe Union, (Mr. Campbell of South Caro lina in the chair,) and took up the report of the Committee on Foreign Relations on the subject of the Oregon Territory. Mr. Owen having obtained the floor, moved to amend the report, by substituting the word “expedient” for “inexpedient,” so as to read that it is expedient for Congress to legislate on the subject. Messrs. Owen ami Went worth addressed the committee in opposi tion to the report, and Mr. Thomasson spoke in favor ofit. Mr. Hughes of Missouri then obtained the floor, when the subject was in formally laid aside, and the committee took up the lull reported by the Committee ou Naval Affairs, to authorize the President of the United States to make transfers of ’ naval appropriations in certain cases. A discussion upon this subject took place, which lasted till a late hour, when the com mittee rose, and the House adjourned. Van Buren in New England. —lsaac Hill, a pretty good guesser, says: “With Van Buren as an opposing candidate, Mr. Clay will carry every New England State except Now Hampshire.” This latter State has also a great alacrity for getting on the strong side, and it would not there fore be very surprising were it also to go against the New York Sage. Counterfeit Coins. —The Agent of the Branch Mint at New Orleans says there are counterfeits of the new half dollars of 1843. The external part is of tin foil, and the filling a soft solder. They are one-third lighter than the genuine ; the im pression, however, is perfect. The half ea gle counterfeit is of base metal easily de tected by the weight, There arc some dimes and quarters afloat which are detec ted by their weight. DEATH OF A U. S. SENATOR. It is with feelings of much and deep re gret, that we copy from the New Orleans Tropic of the 18th inst., the following brief notice of the death of Judge Porter, a Sena tor elect of tho United States, from the State of Louisiana. Death of Judge Porter. —The sad event which has been anticipated for some weeks past, has at length occurred. The Hon. ALEXANDER PORTER is no more. He died at his late residence in the Parish ofSt. Mary, on Saturday last, tho 13th inst. The deatli of Judge Porter is a calamity of no ordinary kind to Louisiana, and one which will long be seriously felt. Asa citizen and a man, as her Representative in the Senate of the United States, and as the chief of her highest judicial tribunal, the State of Louisiana regarded him as one of her brightest jewels. The light of his glorious intellect is quenched, and the pla ces he has honored shall know him no more. He has gone home full of years and full of honors, with the people of a free and sove reign State for his mourners. Peace to his memory. Gross Outrage. —lt appears, by a letter in the Norfolk Herald, tiiat the abolitionists of New York have had Captain Powell of the schooner Empire arrested, on account of returning to Virginia to deliver up two slaves, whom he found secreted on board, after he had got to sea on his passage to New York. Mr. Powell had been held to hail in the sum of SIOOO, to answer to the charge of false imprisonment of James D. Lane, the steward, who secreted the ne groes on board. Lane was arrested on the return to Norfolk, and after having been tried, was sentenced to serve out a term of years in the State Penitentiary, for the fel ony of decoying slaves from the State. He is still in prison.

A communication appeared in the Rich mond Enquirer a short time since, on the culture of Tea, from the China Seed, in Greenville county, N. C. It was supposed by many at the time to be a hoax, as the writer, a Mr. Newbell Puckett, was not generally known in the county ; but a cor respondent of the Raleigh Register thus ex plains the matter: “ Some business called me to that neigh borhood this week, where I met with Mr. Edward Lewis, who informed me that Mr. Puckett was his mother’s overseer; and that the letter to the Editor of the Enquirer was no hoax. The fact that Mr. P. came to this State last winter, and has occupied an humble, but respectable station in life, satisfactorily accounts for the limited ac quaintance which the neighborhood has with him. At the request of Mr. Lewis, Mr. Robert Eaton and myself visited his mother, the lady in whose service Mr. Puckett is now employed. He states that an acquaintance of his found some seed in a paper of tea, and planted them in a flow er box. They vegetated, and the seed of the plant matured in the fall; and were sow’n the following spring, and cultivated with success Mr. P. brought some of these seeds with him to this State, and divi ded them with his employer, Mrs. Lewis. ! From these, which they sowed last spring, they raised about half a gallon ot seed. Mrs. Lewis favored us with some ot the j tea, prepared ill the usual way, and, in fla- i vor, it very much resembles tho foreign j tea. By comparing the pods, leaves, and stalks, with cuts or plates of the Chinese ten plants, found in Eneyclopu'dias, and gazetteers, you may perceive a striking similarity. If this should prove to In- the I genuine article, and can he successfully cultivated in the United States, it may not only keep in circulation among us thou sands of dollars, which would otherwise he transported to a foreign land, but will place a pleasant and nutritive beverage in the hands of every cottager. Yours, most respectfully, L. K. WILLIE. Oxford, Jan. 10, 1844. The Lowell Girls have most ofthem con siderable sums of money laid up in Banks, or else well invested.
