Here’s a Row !—The Calhoun men ol
New York say they will support the nom
inee of no Convention, whose delegates
are not elect ;d by the district system. To
which the evening Post, Van Buren's

To increase the horrors of their situation the
kitchen took fi»e, and the heat and smoke soon
rendered their position intolerable. They
were about to cast oif and contend as they
might with the tempest, when a good Providence
interposed. The schooner Caledonia broke
from her moorings and drove against the
kitchen, making a breach which enabled the
waves to extinguish the fire. The fugitives re
mained in this pitiable condition till day-light,
when they obtained more comfortable quarters.
The brig Statira lost two anchors and drove

able to haul off before the water receded. She
suffered no damage.
The rail-road bridge was found some distance

the high water had rendered the lower story of

You can correct this if you will, particularly so
far as the Xeie Light co-operation is concerned,
are hard, and they will probably bring a bet

Economy.—We are indebted to a lady of
this town lor the following valuable infor
mation; we recommend our friends to try
it; there-is nothing like “economy, retrench- j
ment and reform.”
Candles, that will produce a beautiful i
light, and answer the purpose of Sperro or ■
Tallow, may he made in the following man- ■
tier. Take one pound ot Beeswax and a
quarter of a pound of soft Turpentine, melt I
them in a clean vessel. Now prepare a
vvickot the length and size you wish ; draw
it tight, and dip it into the composition as \
often as (hree times; but, remember to keep j
the wick drawn light while the composition j
is being applied. The quan ity of compo
sition above mentioned, is sufficient to make
about ltco hundred and six candles, allow
ing each candle to be seven inches in leDgtlt;
and the eost of which, will notex:eed twen
ty nine cents.
“These candles,” our informant tells us,
“are as durable as the tallow ; and will not
run. or produce dirt of any kind.” We see,
Mr. O. clang to a post, and thus saved himself.
It may be asked, why did not these unfortu
nates repair to the light-house for safety ?—We
have been told that so sudden was the rise of the
water, and so high the breakers, that entrance
was impracticable. It may he added that none
of them considered the light-house safe in a vio
lent storm. The event has proved its strength,
it is now partially underininded, and <n a pre
carious slate.
From Jefferson County.—We learn that
Bailey’s Mills were entirely destroyed—and the
dam, across the Ocilla. swept away.—This will
tea source of serious inconvenience to the ci
tizens of that County. The steam mill, their
main dependence, was burnt, it will he recollect

mg. The railroad will not probably be relaid
further than St. Marks river. Cars will run as
far as that place regularly in a few days, and
goods must, probably, be dischaiged from ves
sels at the late site of the bridge. Most fortu
nate for our merchants it is, that the storm oc
curred so early in the season, when compara
tively few goods remained at Port Leon to be
damaged or destroyed. Some of our business
firms have, however, sufiered considerably.
Among these are—Wm. G. Burgess, Lloyd

arid B. C. Lewis. At Port Leon, every person
must he considered a sufferer, and no inconsid-

I>r. F. S. Bronson—Sir, I was in hopes that j W ouid have been done
the admonitions given to onr democratic friends
in the communication of Tekel, would have had
the effect desired by the writer, that of correcting
ihe baser feelings of nature, resuscitating the
heller, and inducing them to deal more honorably
with their opponents in the approaching contest,
than they have heretofore done. But alas! I
fear my hopes will not lie realized. They have
already, almost, become extinct in the bosom, and tilthv condition. The goods in store are
] every preparation for high water and a storm by
i storing their goods, as they thought, out of the
! reach of both. And had the water riseu no
higher than in ’37, it is probable little damage
would have been done. But they were almost
| submerged in a depth of seven to ten feel! The
surging waters and furious blasts combined
were irresistible. Every Warehouse is pros
trated (except a portion of that occupied by
Messrs. Hamlin & Snell), and the timbers and
fragments driven up to St. Marks and its vicini
ty.'' Of the dwelling houses and stores that re
main. every one is in a wretchedly shattered
clothing, bedding, and in fact every comfort and
necessary of life. Among those most considera
ble losses of properly are those sustained by the

Terrible Fire at Kingston, Jamaica.—
The New Orleans Tropic, of the 15th instant
says: “We are informed that a schooner from
Kingston, Jamaica, in the river, coming up un

occurred at Kingston a few days ago, by which
nearly one half the town was laid in ashes.
If the Loco-focos are to be believed, there is
no earthly doubt of the triumphant success of

GREAT ENLARGEMENT
OF THE

U PON the commencement of the thirteenth
volume, 6ie Proprietors of this Universal
Family Journal appeal wiihconfidence to (lie de
cision of those who are able to judge, whether the
Enlarged and Beautiful Saturday Courier
is not the best, the largest, and CHEAPEST
FAMILY NEWSPAPER IN THE WORLD.
The volume just commenced presents greater
claims upon the public, than any which has
preceded it. An extra outlay of between three
and four thousand dollars has been made, m
order to have it properly issued. The form is

Among oilier improvement* for the new

THE NATIONAL PORTRAIT GALLERY
Has been commenced. Under this head we
shall give Engravings of the Distinguished
Naval and Military Commanders, and other
eminent individuals of our country, accompanied
with interesting Biographies.
In addition to these, and alternating therewi’li,

all the circumstances, with a great deal of plausi-

water increased so fiiduculy in violence aud
depth as socn to render the house untenable,
while a retreat seemed utterly impossible. For

most of that portion of her cargo consigned to

their appeals to the pride and prejudice cf the
citizens of Georgia, by ridiculing tbe station of
Mr. Stephens, and asserting, wilhoutany regard
to truth, that his capacity and intellect corres
pond with his size. It has been said, by some of
their deeply laden boat. They now lay under
lee of an angle formed by the house and kitchen,
which measurably protected them from the vio

best chance was in remaining behind this
friendly shelter so long as it should stand.
Feeling about, they discovered a book in the

doors. They succeeded in forcing three
of them, when, much to their surprise, the
fort was retaken by the Governor’s troops,
who marched into the fort, and, after a
little sk finishing, took them all prisoners.
A few days since sixty-two of them were
shot and ioriy-e:ght strangled to death.
