. From tlif Giob. MR. WEBSTER AND THE WAR. Saturday s Intelligencer contains an impres sive editorial notice, introducing a long and detailed article, vindicating Mr. Webster’s course during the tvar. It is intended to set history right by false glosses. We shall reply to it hy the record. We proceed to give some of Mr. Webster’s war votes to the public for the information of the rising generation, and to refresh the mem ories of some who have forgotten the events of which they were the cotemporary. Pre mising that Mr. W. voted against his coun try, and spoke against it, during the whole of the late war with Great Britain, even while Ihe Brilish and the Indians were in possession of parts of our country, we select a part til , these votes—omitting many of the same char acter on smaller points —and herewith present ] them to the patriotic reader. On the 6th of July, 1813, Mr. Webster, in company with 49 Federalists, voted against the tax bill to raise money for carrying on the war, by laying a duty on distilled spirits.— See H. R. Journal, vol. 9, (reprint edition of 1826 hy Gales & Seaton,) p. 70. July Bth, same year, in company with all the Federalists present, lie voted against the hill to collect a direct tax in the United States during the war, being a war tax. Same vol. p. 82. July 9tli, same year, in company with 53 j Federalists, he voted against the war lax to lay a duty on sugars refined within the United | States, being a tax on luxury. Same vol. p. 84. Same day and year, in company with 51 I Federalists, he voted against the war tax on sales at auction of merchandise. Same vol. p. 84. On July 10th, same year, lie voted against the war tax on pleasure carriages, being a tax on a luxury, in company With the stand ing battallion of fifty-two Federalists. Same vol. p, 87. . This was at the extra session of the spring of 1813, provided for by a law of Congress, j and the first one that sat after Winchester’s deleat, the massacre of the river Raisin, Dud ley’s defeat, and other disasters in the West, nnd while the British and Tecnmseh were in possession of Michigan and the Northwestern part of Ohio. It was Mr. Webster’s first session: he was then a representative from New Ha mpshire; and voted against every hill to raise a dollar to carry on the war while tie attended. His attendance at that session avas very short, and he seemed to he there merely to vote against the tax bills; for on <he 9th day of July, he obtained leave of ab sence for the remainder of the session. (See same volume of the Journals, p. 32.) hut he remained until the 10th to vote against the bill laying a tax on pleasure carriages. JYota bene. —lt was the revenue measures of this extra session which enabled Ihe fall campaign to he made, which ended in the de feat of Proctor and Tecumseh on the river Thames, and to the destruction of the Brilish fleet on Fake Erie. I 1 ’ Mr. Webster and the fify-lwo other Federalists had sueceded in their votes at ihe spring session, there would have been bo money for this fall campaign, and its glorious results would have been lost. On tlie sth of January, 1814, bting the second session that Mr. Webster served, and when ihe Creek Indians had broke out in tiie South; when British officers were at Pensa cola and St. Marks; and when every thing indicated a winter attack upon the South and New Orleans, Mr. Webster voted with fifty seven Federalists lor p*>st;>m.ng tlie hill mak ing appropriations t<>r ihe service of the year 1 ! 8I4. Same vol page 1991 On the 7ih of the same month, in company ■Vitit fifty-two Federalists, lie voted against trie specific appropriation of one million- ol dollars lor the naval service of 131 4, ihe clause being in- these words: “ Towards defraying rfie expenses of the Navy of the United Slates tor the year 1 1-4 the sum of one million- of dollars;’ Same vol. page 2G4. We think it- right to iuvile special attention ! this-vote on account of Mr. Webster's de nial in (lie Senate of the United States, m a ! discussion-with Mr. Calhoun, that he had op- ; posed naval appropriations, and declaring; that lie was for prosecuting the war by waler j msteSSJ of land. The false pretext was also j the burden'of the elaborate attempt to mys tify ihis subject, which was published in the] hitelligencer of Saturday last. The untruth tiff this statement would he sufficiently appa- j rent from the fact of Mr. Webster’s voting] against all the means of raising money by j tax-esy loans-, or Treasuiy notes; for it was] eqmlly necessary to raise money by loans, taxes, or Treasury notes,- whether the pro ceeds were to he used tor the army or navy ;• hut this vote comes to the point itself, a spe cific appropriation for the navy of one million of dollars, and h Was voted against like all the others. JYT rte. —Mr. Webster gained some credit with the ignorant for his declarations in favor ol naval war in answer lo Mr. Calhnnn, hut the Note recited above kills up that little triumph, the ephemeral fruit of an untruth. — But, if true, it would have done him no honor, for what American— who but an Englishman or an Indian—could have refused men and money to protect our frontiers from Brilish nn I Indian invasion and aggression—our cities and towns from conflagration and devasta tion ? Be it remembered that this million of imiinrs for tlie naval service, was voted against bv Ihe Federalists when we were preparing to make the noble efforts on the lower lakes and on the high seas, which signally distinguished the year 1814, and which would have been lost to the country if the Federal vote had been successful. On the I Oth of January, 1 SI 4, Mr. Webster voted against extending tbe celebrated second section of the rules and articles of war lociti zens of the United States as well as foreign ers, who should act as spies. Same volume, p. 207. . On the 13th, 14th, and 15th of the same month, against all the clauses of the bill sepa rately, and then against the passage of the bill, “ to make further provision lor fi ling the ranks of the regular army, encouraging en list men ts, and authorizing re enlistments of men for longer periods, whose terms of ser vice were about to expire. 7 ’ In company with fifty-eight Federalists, Mr. Webster voted against this hill in all stages; and thus did all in his power to leave the country without troops in the eventful year of 1314—the year in which the enemy occupied the Chesapeake bav, took Washington city, plundered Alex andria, attacked New Orleans, and made their greatest exertions against the country, espe cially on the Northern frontier, where our regular troops gained the reputation which did them so much honor. Brown, Scott, Gaines, Macomb, Macdonough, Jesup, and many others, gained their iaurels that year, vet the Federalists would have left them without a man! Same vol. p. 24-8, 9, 50. Oo the 22J of the same month, Mr. Web ster, in company with seven other Federalists, voted against the same bill for filling the ranks of the army as amended in the Senate. This is a very remarkable vote. The body of the Federalists gave wav and let the bill go, but lltere were eight wiio would not let it pass without recording their names against it; and of these eight Mr. We lister was one. It was at this session, and in opposition to this army bill that Mr. Webster delivered bis famous speech of contempt, ridicule and sar casm upon the misfortunes of our arms, and of satisfaction and enjoyment at the successes of the British and Indians. The following are extracts from his speech : “It is certain that the real object of this proposition to increase the military force to an extraordinary means, is to act over again scenes of the two last campaigns. To that object I cannot lend my support. lam already satisfied with the exhibition. u Give me leave to say, sir, that the tone on the subject of the conquest of Canada seems to be not a little changed. Before the war, that conquest was represented to be quite an easy affair. The Valiant spirits who medita ted it, were only fearful lest it should be too easy to be glorious. They had no apprehen sion, except that resistance would not fie so powerful as to render ihe victory splendid.— ******* How happens it, sir, that this country, so easy of acquisition, and over which, according to the prophecies, we were to have been by this time legislating, div ding it into Slates and Territories, is not yet ours? Nay, sir, how happens it that we are not even free of invasion ourselves; that gentlemen here call on us by all the motives of patriotism, to assist in the defence of our own soii, and portray before us the state of the frontiers, by fiequent and animated allu sions to all those topics which the modes of Indian warfare usually suggest? “ This, sir, is not the entertainment to which vve were invited. This is no fulfilment of those predictions which it was deemed obsti nacy itself not to believe. This is not the harvest of greatness and glory, Ihe seed of which were supposed to be sown with the de claration of war. “ When we ask, sir, fur the causes of these disappointments, we are told they are owing to the opposition which the war encounters, in this House and among the people. All the evils which afflict the country are imputed to the opposition. This is Ihe fashionable doc trine, both here and elsewhere. It is said to he owing to opposition that the war became necessary; and owing to opposition also, that it has been prosecuted with no better suc cess. “This, sir, is no new strain. It has been sung a thousand times. It is the constant tune of every weaker wicked administration. What Minister ever yet acknowledged that the evils which fell on his country were the necessary consequences of his own incapacity, his own folly, or his own corruption? What possessor of fmlitical power ever yet failed to charge the mischief resulting from his own measures upon those who had uniformly opposed those measures? * * * * * * * “ You are, you say at war for maritime rights and tree trade. But (hey see you lock up your commerce and abandon ihe ocean.— They see you invade an interior province of the enemy. They see you involve yourselves in a bloody war with the native savages; and they ask you if you have in truth, a maritime controversy with the Western Indians, and are really contending for sailor’s rights with the tribes of the Prophet.” On the 25 of January, of the same year, Mr. W. voted, with fifty-six Federalists, against the bill lor enforcing the non importa tion laws. Same vol. p. 255. On the 2Slh of the same month lie voted with fifty-five Federalists against the bill fir raising additional rifle regiments. S>me vol. p. 265. On the 23th of March, of the same year, Mr. Webster voted in company with /ortv six Federalists for the indefinite postponement (rejection) of the bill to provide lor calling Ibrih the militia to execute the laws of the Union, suppress insurrections, and repeal in vasions. Same vol. p. 371. On the same day he voted with fifty-three Federalists against the passage of the same hill. Same vol. p. 373. On the 4th day ol April, same year, Mr. W. with all the Federalists, and a part of the Democrats, voted for the indefinite post pone mem of’ a resolution to inquire into the expe diency of establishing a National Bank.— Same vol. p. 333 So that Mr. If. would not even go for a National Hank , when it was thought by some lo be wanted during the I ate war. Such were Mr. Webster’s votes in favor of the enemies of his country at the eventful period of the session of 1813—14. Congress adjbttrned itself in October, but before that time,-the burning of Washington, nnd other calamities, induced Mr. Madison tocalKX3"7to£ an ex: ra session, involving special elections, and ruinous expense —hut an earlier meeting of Congress, to wit, a meeting in September, when one would run into the other, and save half the expense. Oil the 15th of October, 1314; Mr. W. voted against rebuilding the President’s II ouse, the Capitol, and ihe public offices, j which had been burnt down by the Brtish, and on the same day voted in favor of a hill lor the temporary removal of the seat of Government from Washington city. Same i vol. p. 473. ] On the 34th of the same month, Mr. W. voted against a resolution to continue the j direct taxes and to increase them fifty per cent, only thirty-seven Federalists voting with him. Same vol. p. 492. On the 27th of the same month, he voted with forty seven Federalists against increa sing the postages, so as to enable the Post Office Department to sustain itself. Same vol. p. 409. # On the same day he voted against I lie resolution of the Committee of Ways and Means to increase the internal taxes. Same vol. p. 500. On the 28:h of November Mr. VY. again vo'cd against the establishment of a National Bank. Same vol, p. 552. On the Ist of December, Mr. Webster, with thirty-five of the most determined Feder- Ia lists, voted against the bill to provide for raising additional revenues, defraying the ex penses of Government, and maintaining the I credit ol the Government. Same vol. p. 557. On ihe same day lie voted in company with j thirty-four Federalists against a second hHI for defraying the expenses of the (Government, -and maintaining public credit. Same vol. p. \ 558. Oh tiie sth of December lie voted with ihe ; usual phalanx of fifty-seven Federalists against I allowing bounty land to recruits in the army, i Same vol. p. 565. | On the same day he voted with fifty-five Federalists against die bill to fill the ranks of the regular army. Same vol. p. 565. On the 10th of December he voted with the “Spartan Hand.''’ fifty-five Federalist, for the j indefinite postponement of the bill to author ize the President to call out a detachment of the militia “for the defence of the frontiers of die United States’against invasion.’ 4 Same vol. p. 578. On the 19;hoi December, Mr. M. with 46 Federalists, voted against a bill providing ad ditional revenue for the support of public cred it. Same vol p. 603. On the 20ih of the same month he voted against a direct tax. Same vol p. 605. On the 22d of the same month he voted with the Spartan hand (53 present) against the final passage of the direct tax bill Same vol. p. 611. On the 2.1 of January, 1 SI 5, he voted final ly to reject the bill to establish a National Bank. Same vol. p. 633. February Sth, ISIS, Mr. Webster voted | twice with the phalanx, fifty-five present each time, against rebuilding the Capitol and other 1 public buildings in Washington destroyed by the British. Same vo>. pages 713 and 715. This waif the end of the tear votes of Mr. Webster, lo* about this time the double news arrived at Washington of the conclusion of peace wiih Great Britain, and the victory of General Jackson over the British at New Orleans. These two events put an end to the occupation, for that time, of the fifty-five Fed eralists, lo whose conduct Mr. Grundy applied j the celebrated epithet of “ moral treason which stuck to Mr. W. and his party like the poisoned shirt stuck to the back of Hercules, let this man has now become the second, il not the first, man in the Government- —the , under , if not the upper President ot the Unifed i Slates! and in his new positioned promulger of the will of the President, and issuer of Presidential edicts, and dispenser of Presi dential rewards and punishments, and ap pointee of officers, he has become the most powerlul individual that was ever in our country, making laws under the name of or ders, creating and filling offices, and fixing the salaries, dismissing and appointing, and weld ing the wtiole Executive power of the Gov ernment lor the support of federalism, and for the PERSECUTION OF DEMOCRACY. Steam Explosion— The steamer Duncan Mcßea, Capt. Pondt, left Savannah for Augus ta on Sunday last On Monday morning last, between three and four o’clock, while the steamer was under way, about three miles be low Johnson’s Landing, one of her boilers col lapeed, which caused the immediate death by scalding of two colored hands, and slightly scalded the Captain and several others. Capt. Powell, of the Alary Summers, met the wreck and offered assistance, which was declined, as their small boat was sufficient to convey them to the shore. The cargo is mostly lost. A small portion of it may be saved. The boat is under water, only part of the larboard bow being out of wa ter. She sunk in seven feet water. The Duncan Mcßea was owned by the Augusta Insurance and Banking Company, and filled between Augusta and Charleston via Savannah. From the Richmond Enquirer, June 4. Both Houses of Congress were organized on the Ist day—.Mr. White of Kentucky was selected by the Whig Caucus of Saturday night as Speaker, and was elected on the Ist vote. He is Mr. Clay’s protege, “the Lord of the Ascendant.” lie was his candidate ; and this was no doubt the principal recom mendation he possessed. His qualifications are thus set forth in the Washington Corres pondence of the New York Herald: “Mr. White has been pushed wiJi great zeal, earnestness and pertinacity by the Ken tucky delegation, and several members from New England. He woulJ seem to have been selected mainly on the ground of his devotion to Mr. Clay. Air. Whitehas been in Congress for six years, but although he has ever been esteemed a respectable and a useful member, he never attained that position in the House which would have caused him to be thought of for one moment, independently of other con siderations, in connection with the office of Speaker. lie has acquired no particular dis tinction on committees, and as a debater, he was not known in the House. He has no na tional reputation, and out of his own State, where he is said to he held in high estimation, it may well be doubted whether, excluding the city of Washington, and former members of Congress, there are a hundred persons in the country who know of his existence, lie has never manifested any aptitude for the du ties of the chair. On the contrary, in an ex perimental performance, just at the close of the last session, he presided so indifferently, that his most partial friends were led to doubt his fitness far the station.” Air. F. O. J. (Fog) Smith (Conservative of Maine) was the nominee of the Whig Caucus by a bare majority of the members present— but it was no go in the House. Alatthew St. Clair Clarke ran him out. The Madisonian rather lugubriously says : “On the first trial, Mr. Smith received 90 votes, being about two thirds of the entire Whig strength in the House, and Air. Clarke 38 votes. A majority of the Whig party continued voting for Mr. Smith, but were overpowered at last by an unexpec ted junction of a part of the Opposition with that portion of the Whigs who were opposed to the regular nomination. The Pioneers- —A little group of veterans —five in number, one of whom was Gen. Jack son, and all of whom were companions in the early settlement of the Mississippi Valley— happened together at the Post Office in this place a few days ago, when in the course of their conversation about events of olden time, they mentioned their several ages, which ad ded together made an aggregate of 388 years. Os the five, Gen. Jackson, who was 74 in March, is the youngest. These brave and persevering pioners of this region, who were among the first to penetrate the dense forest—who subsisted on the game they could take as they passed along, clad themselves in the skins of beasts, and fought their way westward over the corpse of many a red man—made notches on the trees beside their pathways as guides for their return or I r the direction ot those who might come after them, and felled the green canebrake.s that flourished on the sight of our own beautiful city—seemed to enjoy a vivid recollection of the retrospect. The contrast of this country with-its now flourishing cities, its steam navi gation, its AlcAdamised turnpikes, its cultiva ted fields, and its immense population, with its wild aspect in earlier days, was of the deepest interest to the young who witnessed their in terview. Each has more than numbered his threescore years and ten—and one of them, who is now r more sprightly than half the young men at twenty, has entered on his fifth score. We wish them many a delightful hour in the evening of their well spent lives. They must soon pass away—but the freshness of their memories shall co-endure with their country’s history.—Nashville Union, May 13. Man walketh in a vain show and disquictelh himself in vain.—Bible. We grasp at substance and find it shadow ; life itself is only a vapor, that appearetii for a little time, and then vanisheth away; we are here to-day, but to-morrow the places that have known us will know us no more; The riowers will bloom as freshly as before, but it will not be around our steps; the sun beam as brightly, but his ray will not reach our nar row home ; the stream by whose margin we have strayed, will still rush between its green banks, but it will not be beneath the glance of our eyes; t lie stirred forest, where we have so often wandereu at the twilight hour, will still breathe its music, but it will not be our ear that shall be turned to its melodies. But there is a spirit-land of which these relinquished beauties are only the faint type; there the flowers never fade, and no withered leaf mars the beauty of the eternal spring.—-North American. Mr. Webster. —lt would seem from the following extract from the Washington cor respondence of the N. V. Evening Post, that the Premier is ill at ease in his new birth.— Undoes not find the Virginian quite so tracta te ble as- the old gentleman wtth whom he commenced his reign. It is whispered here that Webster and Ty ler are not exactly Castor and Pollnx. They do not draw together with so much unanimity as the universal whig party could hope.— Webster is one of tbe most improvident and impracticable beings in the world, and Tyler, since he has a few grains- more of practical sense, is oft£n obliged to snub Ills plans.— Now and then the big man becomes a little irritable and gives a tart reply but he soon draws in his horns, and in a few minutes is just as* obsequious as a spaniel. Webster evidently feels that he holds his place by a very frail tenure. With the Vice President not the best friend in the world, with the Clayites looking askance upon him, with the conservatives directly plotting against him, mitting, lie feels as though he were standing on the verge of an abyss down which he may in a moment be precipitated.’’ The reverend Bishop Elliot of the D ocese of Georgia, preached to a lorge audience, at the Presbyterian Church in this town, on Mon day night last. The expectations formed lrom the high reputation of this learned and excellent divine, were, we, believe, fully real ized. The Bishop visited this place, in the prosecution of a tour through the upper cour - tics of the State-—Washington News. From the New Orleans Picayune, June 4. CAPTURE OF A PIRATE. Through the politeness ot our worthy and efficient collector, Air. Prieur, we have been furnished with the particulars of the seizure of a piratical vessel and her entire crew, con tained in a letter written by the energetic of ficer to whose vigilance we are so deeply in debted for the important capture, W. B. G. Taylor, boarding officer at the Balize. The full details are contained in the letter “Balize, June 1, 1841. “ Sir—After capturing the sloop off the Samphire Keys, which 1 had the honor to re port to you from Pass Christian. 1 sailed for this place in the U. S. boat Izard, with the prize in tow. We anchored off Old Harbor Key, the 29th of Alay, when a fisherman in formed me that 1 would find a pirate a smuggler—he did not know which—if 1 would go back to the north end of the Chan delier. I immediately started the prize sloop for this place with two of the revenue boat men in her ; and got underway with the Izard and run back to North Point, where 1 found a small black schooner lying at anchor, which I at once boarded, examined and searched, but found nothing to confirm the fisherman’s information but a number of sweeps or large oars. The Captain was absent but a Air. Ellis Abbot, whom I found on board the schooner, with six others, told me they were out for the purpose of passing the summer on a fishing party, and that the captain had the license with him. I returned on board the Izard and anchored about a mile above them to the northward. Not perfectly satisfied or free from suspicion, the next morning, being the 30th of May, we got underway again with the Izard, blowing a fresh breeze from N. N. W. On approaching the black schooner, and going very fast through the water, I saw a man jump overboard from her and swim to wards us ; as we passed him rapidly, he shouted ‘Captain Taylor, protect me !’ On hearing which, I clapped the helm hard down, tacked instantly, and reached the man just as two other men in a skiff from the schooner overtook him. We hauled him on the Izard’s deck. He said his name was Thompson ; that he had been kidnapped in Mobile, that the schooner was a piratical ves sel ; and, to prove what lie said, if I would pro tect him, &go again back with him, he would show me where their arms were concealed. I anchored the Izard close to her, & accompan ied by Thompson, searched Bgain—found the arms stowed away under the board lockers, and the ammunition, consisting of balls and powder, in abundance. Being at once satis fied in my own mind of her piratical charac ter—(Mr. Wadsworth of our Legislature and Dr. Harrison, who were with me, being both convinced also, and agreeing with me in my opinion)—l seized her, took her at once in tow, deprived her of the arms and ammunition, and made all sail for this place ; where I arrived with all seven of my prisoners, in a few hours and the prize schooner. The prisoners 1 have in irons and in prison, besides strongly guar ded, subject to your order. “On further examination, we found seven more of high-priced pistols, a back and breast piece of heavy iron armor and skull-cap to suit, dirk and bowie knives in plenty, a paper of declaration of war and no quarter—a copy of which with two of his I send you—and last though not least, the pirate’s flag; a blue field, with death’s head aud marrow bones, in white in the centre. “My cruise and arrival here has created much excitement among our citizens : and my prisoners are consequently, well guarded.— You need be under no apprehension—not one of them shall escape. “With sincere respect, Your obedient serv’t, WM. B. G. TAYLOR. Boarding Officer, Balize. ‘ Dennis Prieur, Esq., ‘ Collector of the Tort, N. Orleans.” Accompanying this letter was the flag of the pirate and a copy of a paper found in the captain’s chest, being the articles of agree ment entered into by tiie pirates. A copy of this document is annexed. ARTICLES OF AGREEMENT. We, the undersigned, being the children of nature, have lawfully and wholly as much right to enjoy here, in all her stores, as any other who is of woman born ; but being de prived of all those blessings by the artful de signs of those who possess in more than su perabundance the stores that were intended lor all, we are compelled to come forward, protest against the world, and thus obtain our rights. From this day we declare war against the world, and with the same treatment as her children would use now were we in their possession, we will use them ; as no quarters are offered us, none can be expected. We do, and have formed a constitution this day for the better regulation of ourselves, knowing it to be for our mutual benefit, and as order aud : safety may be concerned, we are bound to ourselves and to one another. Our tie is ce mented with blood, and nothing less than blood will propitiate and atone for any of us who act contrary to our laws. Death being the warrant knell of all those who in time of action shall, through cowardice, negligence or disaffection yield, cause others to yield, or cry for quarters. Article Ist. It is the captain’s absolute right of determining in all questions; concerning fighting, chasing, or being chased, what course to pursue. Article 2d. It is the captain’s duty at all time. to preserve peace and order, and in case of mutiny, or the appearance ot one, to take what course lie should think best; the captain having the entire command during the voyage. Article 4th. It is the duty of ail on board to obey the commands of the captain relating to the navigation of the vessel, her corning to action and the preservation of good order; such authority is necessary to the safety of the whole. Tiiere is other important information con tained in the letters and papers forwarded which we are not now at liberty to use. Fur ther and more extraordinary developments will be made in the course of a day or two.— Enough has been discovered, however, to show that a most infamous scheme has been nipped in the bud. Villainous Transaction. —On Saturday night, as the cars and locomotive, on the Monroe Rail Road, were coming down about 11 o’clock, they encountered a pile of logs, that some miscreants had placed across the track ! As might have been expected the lo comotive was stove in atoms, the tender upset, and the cars (which were full of passengers,) came near being precipitated off the track! Providentially no lives were lost —the passen gers received no injury, except in delay: and’ one man (one of the engineeis) was injured. The public can judge from this, the charac ter of the opposition this Rail Road Company has to encounter. This is not the first time logs and timbers have been laid across the Road, for the purpose of upsetting the cars, and perhaps killing the passengers. Villains that would do such deeds, would stop at no act, even murder or house burning, that prom ised an accomplishment of their designs.- It such scoundrel can be concealed and protect ed in any community, then indeed has public morals sunk to a low ebb. —-Macon Telegraph. Great Walking- Feat. —'-On Saturday evening, about 6 o’clock, Mr. Anson Living ston finished the task of walking fifty-four miles in twelve hours and three minutes ! Two wages rested upon this performance: to walk fifty miles in twelve hours, and walk, fifty-four miles in fourteen hours, without’ taking nourishment—N. Y. Herald.

AVERY desii able plantation, containing fifteen hundred and fifty acres—lying on the Chatta hoochee River, in the county of Stewart, 13- miles f otn Lumpkin, 13 from Florence, and 21 from Co lumbus, is offered for sale. On it, are 500 acres of cleared land, well fenced, and in a high state of culti vation. The greater part of the uncleared land is oak and hickory, the remainder pine. The Hitcha chee Creek, a never failing stream—passes through the plantation, and on it, has been recently erected a substantial Grist and Saw Mill, now in successful operatio ‘. There is on the place an excellent gin house, with screw and running ge.ir complete. The landing belonging to the plantation is one of the best on the river, and a wood yard established at it to sup ply s. earn boats, can be rendered extremely profitable. On a high pine ridge, one mile and a half from the river, are a small, but comfortable dwelling house and •uhins sufficient to accommodate sixty negroes.— This plantation has been settled eight years, and it is said by those who have resided on the place, that not a single case of fever has originated on it during that period. The Chattahoochee River Plantations are highly valued, and justly considered among the best in the South. A bargain is now offered—and any one de sirous of purchasing, will do well to examine thisplace, as a like opportunity nray not again soon offer—and as in the event ofjts suiting., the terms cannot fail to be satisfactory. Richard M. Pitts resides on the plan tation, and will-furnish all the information desired, respecting it. DANIEL McDOUGALD. Columbus, June 17 19 ts T W O P LAN T A T I O N FOR SALE.
