perfections which may be discovered in to

o
Stkimboit Accmr.s'T.—The Steamer J Stone i
Capt. Mendall, fr* m Savannah to tliia port, and the
Steamer Oeamulgee, Capt. Blankenship hence to Sa
vannah, came in contact on the roerhtng of Wednes
day last, in Wilmington Sound, near Rondy Marsh,
a little before daylight,by whirl, the wheels and guides
were torn off the J. Stone; with considerable other
damage. The Oeamulgee experienced but little
damage. The J. Stone was towed to Savannah by
the Oeamulgee.
Since the above was in type, Capt. Blankenship,
lias handed us the following:
On Wednesday morning, Feb. 13th at 5 o'clock,
the Steamer Ocamutgee, bound to Savannah, heavily
laden with cotton, the fog being very dense, heard
tlie bell of II steam boat—the Pilot instantly rung
his bell to slow the t-ngine. Immediately after saw
the light of the J. Stone close to us—rung the bell to
atop and back the engine, which was instantly done
When the boats came in contact, the engine of tlic
Oeamulgee was working back.
The .Stbamer Anson.— The Steamer Anson,
Capt. Baden, in the employ of the Govern
ment, broke her shaft and sustained some other
damage on Tuesday last, near St. Catharine’s
Island, while on her way from Savannah to
Black Creek, with a cargo of government
stores. The Anson has been towed to Savan
nah by the. steamer Oeamulgee, to be repaired.
TO TIIE PATRIOTIC YOUNG MEN OF
tuk second regiment.
Front the following letter, received by Col.
CnAßt.es 11. Hopkins, from Gov. Gilmer, it
will be perceived that the commander in chief,
requires of this Regiment, a company of sixty
4Hfttinted men, to operate in conjunction with
troops from other sections of the State against
the hostile Indians in the Okefenokee Swamp.
It is his wish to make up the number with vo
lunteer*, but he is ordered, if none willro/vn
t, er to fill his requisition by draft. It is only
in this emergency, that he has been constrain
ed again, in the discharge of his official duties,
to call oil you for aid to repel the midnight in
cursions of the most daring foe that has ever
invaded our State. For three years a war of
i pillage and slaughter, has raged in an adjoin
ling Territory, with sanguinary vengeance
hitherto unequalled by barbarians of any age
dr country. Companies from every section of
the State —armiesof the Lukin, have inarched
against them—millions of dollars have been
expended by the government tnfclrive them
from their hammocks, and still the shrill war
‘whoop is heard on our own frontier, eluding,
openly defying a flag, which has twice
stood alone against the haughtiest power of
Europe, and which now c ommands the worlds
admiration. We are aware, that there is hut little
inducement to stimulate men unaccustomed
to the privations and hardships of an Indian
campaign, to volunteer to encounter the ene
my—hut when we reflect on the misery, which
a continuation of their depredations may bring
on our citizens, and perhaps on those who are
near to us, wc should wave all selfish conside
rations, and respond without a muriner, to the
call of our country. Where is there a young
man in the Second Regiment, who would not
endure the keenest pangs of hunger and fa
tigue, to defend the spot where his mother bore
him, and gain the applause and admiration of
his State ? Not one.
A list for subscribers, will be in readiness at
this office. All who feel inclined to volunteer
are invited to call.

Shocking Suicide and pbob able MunDEß.
A horrible scene occurred at nine o’clock yes
terday morning in the porter house kept by
Mr. Bernard. 221 Fulton street, New York.
A young Greek named Pietro Paoloquai
itteuse who boarded at the house had fallen in
Jove with a German girl, named Josephine
Jarmann. living at the same place as a servant,
“'and not mei ting with a reciprocal affection,
had it is said, sometime since threatened to
ti take her life, but afterwards promised not to
carry the threat into execution. At the time
mentioned, however, lie found the unforiunate
g*rl in her chamber, fired a pistol ball into her
sfde, and upon some of the inmates of the
house rushing into the room he discharged the
contents of another pistol into his own head
and died immediately. The ball entered the
right side of his victim and lodged in the low
er part of the body, where it is found impossi
ble to extract it. She is of course in most ex
cruciating paiti with very slight prospect of re
covery.
France and Mexico, —From the annexed par

Washington, Feb. 0.
Important ami Acceptable News.—Ooqitno
dore Bechamel, of tin French armed steamer
Veloce, arrived in this city on Thursday eve
ning front Baltimore, accompanied by Captain
De Challie, his first officer. The Veloce arri
ved at Baltimore on Thursday in Ji re days
from llavomm. The Commodore, when lie
entered the Chesapeake, intended to proceed
up the Potomac direct to Washington, hut on
ascending the river some thirty or forty miles,
found his progress arrested by the ice, when
lie put about and proceeded to Baltimore. But
for this impediment we should have found a
foreign steam-frigate probably anchored oil’
our navy yard, two hundred and fifty miles
inland, before any one was aw are that such a
ship was on our cost. We stale this fact in
conncx ion with the rapid passage of the I ‘dace
from llavanna, to mark the important revo
lution which has been, suddenly ns it were
created in naval operations by the all power
ful agency of steam —a revolution which, by
placing Europe, and America, particirallv,
within less tliun half the distance which
formerly separated them from each other
more deeply affects our own country and its
position in regard to foreign states than
anv other. By obliterating so much of
the vast distance which separated us from
the Eastern continent, it almost iqcorpoT
rates us in the family of European nations.
It certainly imparts to us new relations, apd
imposes fresh duties; and it .would argue
more of madness than of thoughtlessness to
disregard the lesson which il teaches ns.
M e are happy to learn from it gentleman
who accoinpanind the French ollicgrs from
Baltimore, that hostilities have been termin
ated between France and Mexico. Through
the intervention anti meditation of Admiral
Douglas, commanding the British licet on
the Mexican coast, terms of accommodation
have heeq niptrnlly agreed oil by the bclig
erents, and hostilities had ceased. The
particulars will doubtless reach us before
long.
Correspondence of the. New York Gazette.
Washington, Febuary 7th, 1831).
Mr. Clay made a very interesting speech to
day, on the subject of abolition. Many pro
nounce it one of the best oratorical of his life.
Certainly no speech has been delivered at this
session, that has been the theme of such gene
ral and unqualified admiration. lam aware,
however when it comes lobe reduced to words
mere words without the voice urn] action of
the orator, it will be quite a different thing,
though still very good. I hope this speech
will be generally circulated, not only for the
benefit of the Whig cause which is becoming a
little too much blended with abolition, but for
the sake of tljc abolitionists themselves, many
ofwhom may not be utterly irreclaimable. Mr.
Clay shows them the danger and mischief of
their course and appeals to their patriotism and
humanity to forbear. His appeals to the clerr
gy, as the messenger of pease mid good will,
and lo the fair sex where warm and impressive.
His argument against the power of Congress to
interfere with sluyvery in the district was
strong and convincing.
Hundreds of people were disappointed in
heal ing Mr. Clay on this subject—the galleries
having been filled at an early hour, in expec
tation that lie would speak. It is a pity that
lie could not have spoken from the Eastern
Portico. I doubt much wether he will speak
from that position, but, if lie should may I be
theirto hear him. The occasion of this speech
which occupied two hours, was the presenta
tion by Mr. Clay of ihe remonstrance from
citizens of this district against the reception by
Congress of petitions for abolishing slavery in
the district of Columbia. Mr. Calhoun said
a few words cornplimenlory to Mr. Clay's ef
fort. He rejoiced, he said, tosee him standing
oil such ground, and now he might truly say
that he considered Abolitionism at an end in
this country. But I reckon Garrison will tell
a different story. Fanaticism and treason are
not to he put down by the authority of great
names.
In the House, to-day, the .Select Committee
of twenty-six on the subject of the disposition
of the public domain, made a report, asking to
be discharged from the further consideration
of the subject and recommending that no ac
tion take place thereon at this session. Mr.
Robertson, of Va. moved to recommit the re
port witii instructions to the committee to re r
pert an act for the distribution of the proceeds
of the sales of the public lands among the sev
eral states, according to their representation in
Congress—the said distribution to commence
after the next census, and to he suspended in
time of war with any foreign nation, or in case
the revenue should, in any year, fall below a
certain sum. No decision was made ou this
question.
Mr. Johnson, of La. presented to-day a very
strong remonstrance from thousands of citizens
of Louisiana against the encouragement held
out by our laws to the emigration of foreign
ers. The memoralistg think them a curse to
the country—a blight upon its prosperity and
morals.
The army appropriation bill finally passed
the House.
General Banking in Georgia. —We have
been informed from Milledgeville, that the
banking business under the late Jaw, seem
ed to be iij quite a flourishing, or rather in
creasing condition. Not less than ten or
twelve companies are forming, arid rapidly
progressing in their preparations to com
mence operations. A company had been
formed in surnter, one in Early, one in
Troup, one Stewart, one Elbert, another in
Deeatur, and an individual of our city pro
posed going into the business. In Jasper,
Coweta, Cherokee, Cass, and DeKalb coun
ties, meeting)! have been called to tnakc ar
rangements for organizing ascociations.
THE SHREVEPORT PREACHER AGAIN,.
A Perfect Caleb Quotem. —Our readers may
recollect that, some time since, vve published
an account of a preacher in the neighborhood
of .S’hreveport, who, while “holding forth” un
der a tree of a hot Nunday, got so warm that he
could not stand it any longer, and finished a
short discourse with “Boys it’s too hot to
preach, let's all go and liquor.”
We understood, yesterday, that he is now
regularly ordained, and is a good-hearted, gen
erally liked joker, —preaches a good sermon,
plays a good game of poker, is an excellent
judge of a horse race, has the best fighting
chickens of any man in those parts, and lays a
Bowie knife across his Bible to keep it spread
open. On a recent occasion, between the
morning and afternoon service,toe read the fol
lowing announcement:
“I am requested to state that immediately
after service this evening, there will be a race,
just back of the church, two mile heats, for a
purse of S3O0 —two nags already entered, and
I some hopesof another. I trust you will all be
there.
“N. B. I'm one of the judges.”—.V. O. Pica

Popping the Question. —What a strange
thing is acquaintance, said a beautiful girl
the other clay to a friend of ours—“a year
ago wc had not seen each other—totally a
season had rolled its course, bringing hope,
happiness, and perchance sorrow to each,
without the cognizance of the other; and
now we arc so intimate !” Qur friend says
she looked so lovely hp could not help
pressing her delicate cheek—he asked her
if he had aught to do with the happiness of
her future. “You are in my dreams of the
coming days,” replied she. They are to
be married at Christmas, We consider
this one of the neatest “poppings of the
question” ever heard of, though by the
way we think it ought to have happeud in
leap year.
