D ARI E N HERAt J>, Tuesday Horning, February 5.1N39. TO PORRKSPONDENTS. I ‘■Frank,” and “T. s. H.” will appear In our : UICXt. 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 third trial to elect a Representative from the Congressional District in Massachusetts, now , represented by the Hon. M. Paemcnter. WASHINGTON’S BIRTH DAY. We are requested to slate that the proprietor of the Mansion House contemplates furnish ing a*ttpper on the evening of the 22d. inst. 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. CHARLES DAVIS. 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. Charleston Courier, 31*!, nit. COMMERCIAL. SAVANNAH,—Feb.
