John Q. Adams.— On our Rewind page will
‘lie found jn account of the potion assumed
:i,y this eccentric statesman in Telation to abo
lition in the District of Columbia, to which our
readers are referred. Me confess we are sur
prised at his declaration of hostility to this
.exciting subject. Th< Washingtoncorrespon
idcnt of the Charleston Courier, is of opinion
that Mr. Adams ‘ wishes to have the. subject |
referred to a Committee, of which he shall be
the Chairman, and referred without limitation;
mnd he then wishes to present his views a
tgainst the objects of the memorialists. There j
is no doubt in the world, that he would make
m report of great ability on the subject, and
.that it would tend to quiet agitation ; but then, ;
.-again, it must be considered that, if Congress
.permit the subject to be discussed on the floor,
j. must engross, their whole time, to the ex
clusion of all other duties, and produce an ir
ritation tlmfwouhl perhaps break up the whole .
‘body in confusion.”
Yesterday. 4th inst., was fixed upon for the j

WASHINGTON’S BIRTH DAY.
We are requested to slate that the proprietor
of the Mansion House contemplates furnish

in honor of the birth day of Washington.
Ymtimonials or Gratitude. — Our readers
W iTI re-collect the melancholy loss of the steam
boat Pulaski, one of the Charleston packets, in
which so many found a watery grave; and
they w ill also recollect that a portion of the
passengers were rescued from death by Cnpt.
Eli Davis, of the schooner Caminerdon, who
took them from a portion of the wreck.—
Among .these wore Mr. Lamar. Mr. Hutchinson,
CoL George Tw iggs, and another whose name ,
Captain Davis regrets that he cannot recollect, j
all of Georgia, and the two first of Savannah, j
They have lately made donations to Captain i
Davis/or the following sums; Mr. Lamar has j
sent (SIM*I, Mr. Hutchinson $400; Col. Twiggs j
SIOO, and the other passenger SSO ; in all 1100. j
With a.porli<>n of this. Captain Davis has pur
chased a house .and lot, and the balance he
has invested tt a sittidl schooner, in which he
sails. It gives us pleasure to record both the
active benevolence of Capt. Davis, and the
gratitude of those passengers.
■Shao. —Large numbers of these delicious
creatures are daily taken in the Alatamaha riv
er, and the tender wanderers command prices
in ourtmarket front SOcents to “seven-coppers.” ,
WV -were thinking the other day, as we beheld j
an inffcvidual with a basket full wending his
way temarket, What foolish things they must ;
be to allow themselves, day after day, anil ;
year after year, to be caught in this way.— j
These piscatory nations, at the near approach
of spring, .enter in innumerable shoals front
the sea, ami every year their fatal course is
interrupted by the. nets which tlieir hardy hu
man enemies set in their way. They sweep,
by generations, by nations, into the snare.—-
“Among all-tire myriads and myriads of those
bright-looking and graceful fellows, is there |
never one thinker—one observer —one philan
thropist—one reformer? Have they no con
versation; no interchange of thought; of im
pressions ;of fears and hopes ? Do they go on
trooping in measureless crowds through those
sweet floods, without even so much as a “how
do ye do,” or “my respects t’ye !” Ah, if they
had one orator, one newspaper, one spark of
reflection 1 Poor, simple things! How little
do they reflect when fhey first dart leaping
and flashing through their transparent and
gorgeous realms of water, that their swift,
sporting career only brings them nearer to a
net —nearer to a gridiron. Ah, could they but
be informed of it! Had they a language!—
Had we a knowledge of That language, verily
we would almost, out of good nature, organize
“A society for the Instruction of Shad;”- wc
would teach them to read,to Bsten to discour
ses. VYr would educate shad ashore, and send
them forth Heralds of light, and pioneers of
better times.
Titus far bad we written in this article, when
we turned a pitying look upon one of these
fish, which a lishetanan had left at our office,
as a curiosity, for its size and beauty. It hung
against the wall, suspended fey a nail; and, in
deploring the fate of its people, we looked at it
compassionately. To oursnrprise, it turned
slowly around, in such a way as to look us in
the face ; and, with a grave and somewhat dig
nified and declamatory manner, addressed to
us the following words:
“I have read your article, sir. over your
.boulder, with great attention, and made many
aeflections upon it. Y'ou wrong us greatly, in
Linking us such fools. We have as much
ifriital intercourse as you curious inhabitants
olthis thin air. I, sir, atn a preacher. I have,
foiyears, planted myself by those very nets
yCi spoke of. I have prayed, shouted, begged,
inflated, and threatened. Shown them the
..so-held up the corded snare—pointed out
their sruejrlißg companions floundering in
their p|ison. aad dragged off by the captors—
yet toby 1 purpose. The heedless things would
never listed—never believe—neverbe advised.
On they go; no matter where. Ruin itself
cannot make them pause.”
“Astonishing obtusity 1” we exclaimed.
| ‘•Not so fast, my friend,” cried our compa
nion. “You creatures of earth, who have legs
instead of fins—who walk, not swim—are very :
muck talked of by us for obtusity, as blind in
relation to your own affairs.”
“Indeed!”
“Ay ; you go to ruin, also, with your eyes j
| wide open. You have newspapers, reformers,
1 philanthropists, orators, and all that. But what
good have they done ? Do they prevent theft
j —intemperance—malice —murder —nvuriee
all sorts of wickedness —all kinds of folly ?
<jt> not you to your graves just as precipitate
ly as we 1 What is intemperance, but a huge
net ? What are your diseases, produced by
high living and late hours? What your bat
tle-grounds—your law-suits—your specula
tions ? Nets, my friend ; ail nets; and all man
kind, at this instant, lie floundering in them,
like so many shad.”
“But, if you, my dear sir, knew all this dan
ger, and strove so hard to save your compa
nions, how happens it that you did not save
yourself? How came you to run into the net ?”
We east a scrutinizing and rather severe
glance upon the scaly satirist; but he had turn
ed himself back upon his nail, and hung, life
lessly, by the cord that pierced his gills. His
bright eye was glassy in death, his fins no more
illustrated his periods with appropriate ges
tures, his tail was motionless, and altogether
it was evident that he had determined to break
off the conversation.
The Florida Watchman of the 19th nit.
says—“ The Constitutional Convention closed
its session on Friday evening last, after framing
and adopting a Constitution for the government
of the state of Florida. It received the sanction
and signatures of all the members present, with
but one exception ; a circumstance which could
but hardly have been expected, where so much
diversity of sentiment, on some leading and
exciting questions existed.”
The Milledgeville Recorder says thataletter
from Mr. Howard, the agent cHliis State in Eng
land, for the purpose of examining documents
relative to the early history, settlement &e. of
Georgia, gives information, that he has found
eleven folio voltimns in the office of the Board
of trade,’pertaining to the object of his visit.
They are records from 17411 to 1780, which
afford valuable materials for completing otlr
hitherto unwritten history.
W. L. Yancey, Esq. who was convicted of
man-slaughter at the last fall term of our Court,
and sentenced to a fine of SISOO, and an im
prisonment, of 12 months, says the Green
ville Mountaineer of the 25th instant, has had
his sentence commuted by the Governor of
this State to SSOO fine and 3 months imprison
ment, which time expired on the 22d tilt,
and Mr. Y. was released. The petitions for
warded to his Excellency, were signed by
upwards of 1000 respectable persons, and a
large portion of them citizens of this district.
('harleston Courier.
By the following articles from the Bruns
wick Advocate of the 2d inst. it will be per
ceived that Joseph Lyman, Esq. has retired
from the editorial department of that paper.
We regret to learn that the patronage of the
Advocate is scarcely sufficient for its support;
it merits a better fate, for few papers arc more
interesting, and none more worthy of un ex
tensive circulation.
From the Brunswick Advocate, 2 d inst.
TO OUR READERS.
The suWrilicr having determined his editorial
connexion with llic ttrunnwiek Advocate, takes this
opportunity to announce the fact and to turn his best
thanks for the attention and patronage it has receiv
ed during the time that this press has been in his
| charge.
Os the courtesy and kindness too of his editorial
bretheren, he. is not unmindful, and especially to
those who have exchanged their more valuable pu
pers for tie- Advocate, lie would make acknowledg
ments for the important aid they have thus render
ed.
To all he would hid it grateful and respectful fare
well. JOSEPH LYMAN, Jr.
In consequence of the above retirement, the Advo
: cate will for the present tie conducted by the subscri
ber. We hope, however, it will not belong before
the services of some gentleman will be secured in the,
editorial department oftalent commensurate with the
growing importance and the eminent advantages of
our young and rising city.—lt is nearly two years
since we established the Advocate at this place, dur
ing which time we have had numerous obstacles to
encounter to keep the paper alive, among which have
been the entire neglect of two out of three individu
als, to fulfil a contract solemnly entered into.—But
after getting the press established here to enhance
their own private interests, we were abandoned to
struggle against poverty and a limeted patronage,
with a family to support, as Itest we might. We yet
hope, however, to have justice done us on this point.
Always expecting to earn our bread by the sweat
of the brow, we shall continue every exertion tomake
the Advocate us respectable and useful a journal as
our abilities wilt permit. All information respecting
works of Internal Improvement in the StutcwiH con
tinue to occupy a space in its columns. In the po
i litieal character of the paper there will lie no change,
and to our friends and the States Rights party we
look with confidence to an increased support.

A Hark Cotton Stalk. — The San Au
gustine, (Texas) Herald of the 29th Nov.
says, they have in their office a Cotton
Stalk, raised on an upland farm, by Wm.
Todd, Esq. of Shelby county, which is
thirteen feet 6 inches in height and yielded
100 bolls.
The celebrated Steam Dr. Frost, and one of
his associates, have been sentenced to be hung
in New York, for steaming a patient to death.
—This proves that we do not live so much in
an age of Steam as some have supposeed—as
it appears, that to attain some etuis, hemp is also
brought in requisition.
Sam Jones, anew steamboat, named af
ter the bold “Florida Chief,” was launched
yesterday front the ship yard of Messrs.
Anderson & Kirwood of this city. She
was built expressly for the Macon trade,
direct. She is of extraordinary light draft
of water ; was rnoddeled and her building
superintende.d in person by the “Pioneer”
of steam navigation to that place, (Macon.
Ga.) and we trust that the boat may prove
as profitable to him as his former efforts
have been advantageous to the public.
