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.

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.

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.

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.

son’s) election will be a curse to the coun

a man without money is poor, a man with j
nothing hut money is still poorer.

NORTH CAROLINA TEA.
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.
