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.

Banditti in Georgia.—If any man will beaten by Mr. Stephens, turns it to account against his opponent in Campbell Mr. Watts, the Colquitt candidate for Senate, by boasting that be mustered up sufficient courage to attack Mr. Stephens, when he knew he should he de feated; no other democrat in that sect.on of the country, having the hardihood to do so. Lastly comes the testimony of Judge Colquitt. 1 use this testimony, because the Judge seems to have been convinced, by bis discussion with him, on Wednesday last, at Newnan, that he is a man of ability, differing somewhat from the conclusion he came to last winter at Milledgeville, in rela tion to his order of intellect.

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 ont of the river, but was fortunate in being able to haul off before the water receded. She suffered no damage. The rail-road bridge was found some distance tip the river, an entire bridge yet, but injudicious ly placed. Wo lives were lost at St. Marks. The dreadful catastrophe at the Light-House.— Those saved, at the Light-House are Capt. Hun gerford, his tvife and two children, Dr. Trade welPs youngest child, Messrs. Oglesbee, Blelhen and Kennedy, pilots, and five negroes. After the high water had rendered the lower story of Capt. Hungeford’s house untenable, he retreat ed, with his family, to the attic. In a few mo ments the roof wss torn off and the attic floor, or part of it, buoyed them up, a poor raft to withstand so pitiless a storm. Capt.

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.

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 & Rogers, Starr & Co., Betton &. Megtnuis, arid B. C. Lewis.

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 Railroad Company, Messrs. G. K. Walker. Mc- Daught iV Ormond. Brodie & Rowles, Daniel Ladd, Jenkins &. Pettes, J. &. M.

If the Loco-focos are to be believed, there is no earthly doubt of the triumphant success of Mr. Clay.

Stark with being afraid to engage in discussion of this character with Mr. Stephens, nor do I charge him with inability to do so successfully, though I might do it, under all the circumstances, with a great deal of plausi- ty to the house of Mr. llolt. But the wind and water increased so fiiduculy in violence aud depth as socn to render the house untenable, while a retreat seemed utterly impossible. For tunately, the brig Statira, having discharged most of that portion of her cargo consigned to Port Leon, had the day previons sailed up the river and dropped anchor a short distance from an me circumstances, the house.

And the seamen feared to put hack for the brig in here, again, appears another of their insignifi cant manoeuvres, exemplifying the old adage “that drowning men will catch at straws”—I mean 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 lence of the storm, and they concluded thetr best chance was in remaining behind this friendly shelter so long as it should stand. Feeling about, they discovered a book in the eaves of the house, to which they made fast, &m , that he was weak and effeminate; that his : and in anxious suspense awaited the issue of friends bsiieved him intelligent from sympathy; ] tbe hazardous conflict between the raging ele to Manilla, and during the night scaled the walls of one of the largest forts, secured all that were in it, and then blew up one end of it. After that they proceeded to the magazine, which had but one en trance, and that was secured by seven iron 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. “Last Saturday there was a tremendous fire at this place, which consumed about two thousand buildings, and came near destroying the whole city. It is painful to go on shore and see the people—some have !o»t their children and some their parents by the flames.
