NfcW Stkimkks—On Friday last the new steamer
Sam Jones, Capt Philbrick, arrived at this port from
Charleilon via Savannah, and after remaining here
a short lime proceeded to Macon. She was heavily
freighted with merchandize, and her general appear
ance was prepossessing. Wc learn that it is the in
tention of her owners to run her regularly between
Darien,And Macon.
• On Sunday afternoon last the new steamer Iron
hoe, Capt. Gale, arrived from Savannah. She re
mained at our wharves hut a short period, and pro
ceeded to St Mary’s with the intention of touching at
Brunswick, am! Jeffcrsonton. Copt. G. informed us
that it was his intention to run the Ivanhoe, regularly
between Savannah and St. Mary’s, touching at our
port, Brunswick, and Jeffcrsonton.
It may not he out of tha way to remark that the
crack steamer Col. JeweU, Capt. John Bills, also ar
rived on Sunday, from Lumber City. She come
down the river gliding over the waters of the Alata
inalia. “like a thing of life.” She is decidedly one
of the prettiest steamers we have seen for many a
day, and under the command of her present worthy
and gentlemanly Captain, takes rank with the first
boats on this river.
The arrival of the numerous steamers from Charles
ton, Savutmah, Macon, &r. during the past week,
has been quite enlivening, and given anew impulse
to liie scene of life on our bluff. We bid them all a
hearty welcome, and have no doubt their enterprising
owners will reap a rich reward for their public spirit.
Ire House in Darien.— It is with mqch pleasure,
wc notice the fact, that our enterprising fellow citi.
zen, T. C. Chick, has constructed an ice house on a
large scale, which will be ahlc to contain a sufficient
quantity of that desirable and refreshing luxury, to
supply the riband surrounding country. We have
- -ntVThntbt he will lie patronised. e have been in
formed thal rn the course of a few days he. will be
prepared to supply the community. We will refer
to this subject again.
Sale or Property for Taxes in Brunswick.—
The Brunswick Advocate of the 2d inst. contains an
advertisement issued by the Mayor of that city, by
which we perceive that Fire Hundred and Forty Six
Lois , situated in the city of Brunswick, will be sold
at public sale, on the 11th day of June next, for
Taxes. VVe have always felt an interest in the pros
perity of our young sister city, and regret the neces.
sity which induced an advertisement like the one to
which we have alluded. It seems as if it was but
yesterday, that we heard of her rapid strides to
wealth and prosperity—but, the portentous cloud
which such an advertisement will throw over her, is
illy calculated to promote her welfare. A great re
volution must have come over the well-known enter
prise of her citizens, if they permit their city, with
her numerous advantages, to sink at this time. She
TIWTOic a meteor, and her name and prosperity were
wafted on the winds from Florida to Maine—but we
hope she will not. meteor like, sink to rest.
Tub Darg Robbery. —The mulatto known to fame
as Tom Hughes, who our readers will recollect was
induced by the abolitionists of New York, to rob his
master some months ago, was tried for the offence
before the Court of Sessions on the 21st ult. and found
guilty. The trials of tlarney Corse, Hopper. Rug
gels, and several others, concerned in the affair, and
charged w ith receiving stolen money, will take place
in the course of a few days, and wc hope, they will
all receive the punishment justly due their crimes.

will be found the Third Annual Report of the
M’fntosh County Bible Society, to which we
invite the attention of the reader.
r2r The Western Bank of Georgia has dosed its
doors. On the first of October last, - this Bank re
sumed specie payments after a suspension of some
months, with other Banks of the State, and had
continued to pay out specie for its bills until the 15th
ult. when its doors were closed for the present. It
is thought it will again resume business in a short
time.
North Eastern Bocndary. —From extracts
in another part of to-days paper it will be per
ceived that the authorities of the State of Maine
have caused an armed force to enter on the
territory in dispute between us and the British
Government, on our North Eastern Frontier,
Tt T the purpose of preventing depredations
■which have been committed on that territory.
We annex a proclamation of the Governor of
Maine growing out of this state of things. On
the whole it appears to us that Maine had bet
ter wait the action of the Federal Government
on this subject, and not thus continually force
* on the Union, a position, in which it may re
quire great discretion to prevent a serious col
lision growing out of it.
The Georgia Banks and Penitentiary In
dicted !—The Grand Jury of Baldwin County,
presented the State Prison as being a nuisance
in Milledgeville, and “the internal manage
ment of it as a most grievous evil,” inasmuch
as the convicts are suffered to make money for
themselves, a store-house being provided for
the sale of their over-work. They also repre
sent that the Augusta Banks are deranging the
currency, and that “their present system of
shaving each other and the Banks of the inte
rior. eaa only result in embarrassment and pe
cuniary distress to the citizens at large.”
The State Finances.— We are informed by
thelasvSouthern Recorder, that the Governor
has appointed Messrs. John M. Berrien, hm,
W. Holt, aw Absalom H. Chappell, Esq’rs.
Commissioners investigate our State Finan
ces. and to report. financial system for the
State, to be submitted w the next Legislature.
Extrnctof a letter to the Editor dated,
Wane County, l'eb. 24th, 1830.
A party of several individuals have beeu for
some days past in the Okelinokee swamp.—
‘Ve found no Indians, but plainly could per
ceive signs where they had been but a few
days before. We followed their trail for some
miles and then lost it. We came to a spot
where they had killed three heaves—and from
appearances could not have left any length of
time. It is presumed that there are several
small gangs of indlans in the neighborhood,
but the inhabitants feel but little uneasiness.—
The force at present near the swamp is very
small.
Pennsylvania. —The Supreme Court of this
State has decided that the appointments to
County Offices made by Gov. Porter super
sede those made by Gov. Ritncr on the Ist. of
Jauuary last. Os course, all the old officers
walk the plank. Colums of removals and ap- j
pointments appear in the Harrisburg papers—
not only of County Officers, but of Deputy Pro
seeming Attorneys, Supervisors, Ac. Ac.
This is all according to precedent. Next fall,
the County Officers are to be chosen by the
People, when new changes will be made.
A Committee of Conferrenee of the two
Houses of the Legislature has agreed on an
Internal Improvement bill for the current year.
It appropriates $230,000 for extending the
works up the Susquehanna, $250,000 on the
Main Line from Pittsburg to Erie, S3(XUKK)
for ordinary repairs, $380,000 to repay the
money borrowed to repair the extraordinary
injuries on the Juniata last year, and SIOO,OOO
for other purposes—total $1,260,000. The
Governor is authorized to borrow the money
at 5 per cent.
The expenses of the State railing out the
troops, by Gov*. Uitner, to assemble at Harris
burg, is $147,000, according to the Paymaster’s
returns. The Governor and his advisers failed
in their object—leaving the State, however, to
pay a heavy bill, for their ridiculous and un
warrantable war-cry. Gov. Ritner, it is high
ly probably, will never again be called from
the retirement to which the people have con
signed him.
New York. —The Senate of this State have
thus far uniformly rejected every nomination
of Gov. Seward to fill offices vacant by the ex
piration of the term of the incumbent. Among
the nominations thus rejected are those of Gen. [
Erasing Hoot of Delhi to be Supreme Court
Commissioner, in place, of Nelson K. Wheeler;
Gen. I’iefTe Van Cortlandt of Westchester to
be Inspector of the State Prison at Mount Ple
sant, in place of Richard R. Voris, and Alfred
Homes of Lockport to be Master in Chancery,
in place of Sullivan Caverno. We understand
the rule is made imperative that no such nom*
illations shall he confirmed while there is a
majority in the Senate politically adverse to
Gov. Seward und his nominees. Meantime,
the incumbents hold over until successors shall
fie confirmed.
Mississippi Senator. —Mr. Henderson, whig,
has been elected United States Senator by the
Legislature of Mississippi, by a majority of five
votes, to (ill the vacancy occasioned by the re
signation of R. J. Walker.
Virginia Senator. —Several attempts were
made by the Legislature of Virginia, on Friday
and Saturday last, to elect a United States Sen
ator, but without success.
The Great Western arrived in New
York on the 10th, ult. The whole of the
French Ministry presented their resignations
to the King on the 22d January. No other
political news of immediate importance. The
Protector, East Indiaman, from London to Cal
cutta, was driven ashore in a gale at Sands
Head, and 170 lives lost. The Liverpool quo
tations of the 20th January, represent an im
provement in the cotton market—but without
reference to news on this side.
Lumber Business. By an advertisement
in this paper it will be seen that the great
Steam Saw Mill on the Alatarnaha is in most
successful operation. VVc cannot permit
this opportunity to pass being so well aware
of the great importance of the lumber busi
ness to this place, without expressing our
pleasure of the fact, as the facility of pro
curing lumber for the building of our city
is by this operation much increased.
We have conversed with several gentle
men who have seen the mill, on whose opin
ions we place much reliance, and they
speak of it as the most perfect establishment
of the kind in the Southern States and the
lumber as being most admirably sawed.
The importance of perfect mills must be
obvious when it is so generally admitted
that the timber ofthe Alatarnaln. -rid Satilla
Rivers is the bast in the world, and i f ar
the present generations concerned the sup
ply unlimited. J? >

Affairs in Mane,and on the North Eastern
Frontier look very squally. Main is inarms.
The Legislature has appropriated, it is sta
ted, 800,000 dollars and the Governor or
dered out 8000 tnen to meet the exigency.
Sir John Harver has called up the British
regulars from St. John’s ; sent an express
for more troops to Halifax ; ordered the
Provincial militia to the Armstook, and,
claming exclusive jurisdiction over the dis
puted territory, Is taking the means to ex
ercise it. He has sent an express to Augus
ta, the Capitol of Mane, in which Gov.
Fairfield is acquainted with his determina
tion ; whereupon Maine is put into the grea
test rage. Volunteers are druming up—
militia regiments arc called out —major-
generals issue general orders, and there is
hubbub enough'to bring Heaven and Earth
together, if hubbub and humbug pould do
such a thing.

[Correspondence of the Charleston Courier.]
Washington, Feb. 21.
This has been a day of unparalleled excite
ment in the House. As soon ns the journal of
yesterday was read, Mr. Prentiss, of Mississippi,
rose and called the attention of the House to
the abusive attacks upon Mr. Stanley and Mr.
Southgate, contained in the Globe, under the
signature of A. Duncan. He offered a resolu
tion for an inquiry, whether these publications
were authorized by Mr. Duncan, of Ohio, a
member of the House; and, if so, whether he
is worthy of holding a seut in this body, und
whether lie ought not to be forthwith expelled.
Mr. Prentiss followed tip the resolution in a
speech of more than hour, in which he dwelt
upon llte aggravated and unjustifiable charac
ter of the insult offered to the House by these
publications, and upon the obligation of the
House to protect its members from these out
rages. The insults hero offered were on ac
count of words spoken in debate, and they
were published during the session, and in the
official paper. Their evident object was to
provoke a conflict of some sort or other. The
publication was made after the law for the sup
pression of duelling had received the Presi
dent’s approbation, and a member could not
now send a challenge, without exposing hint
self to the penalties of that law. Under the
protection of that law ho had apprehended that
blackguardism would he sheltered. He now
called upon those who lmd passed that law,
either to protect members from these virtuper
ative attacks, or rescind the law and suffergen
tlemeu to protect themselves. Give us back
the arms of chivalry, or expel from this body
those who are guilty of gross and wanton vio
lations of decorum.
Mr. Jenifer supported the resolution, and
was very severe upon Mr. Duncan.
Mr. liuncan replied, and spoke at length in
justification of his conduct. He alluded to the
nature of the wrongs he had received from
the members concerned—to the publication of
a speech by Mr. Stanley, on the 4th of Febru
ary, which he had not heard on this floor, and
which was grossly abusive to him; to the in
sults which were daily heaped upon him and
the party to which ho belonged, in the House,
in the .Senate and in the federal newspapers.
To attacks made upon him in the newspapers,
lie had replied in the newspupers. He had
been forced to take this course, but ho did it in
self defence. He was unwilling to take back
one word of what he had said. He re-affirmed
now, all tliuthc hud said in those publications.
He had not thought of the duelling act. He
was willing the thing should stop here if gen
tlemen chose, or he would he responsible lo
them. The duelling net would not operate
upon him and the aggrieved parties ten days
hence, and out of the limits of the ten miles
square-
Mr. Grey, of New York, aftersomo remarks,
in which he alluded to another question of pri
vilege, (the Gilley and Graves concern) as still
on the calendar, and unsettled, and to the want
of time, at the close of the session, for attend
ing to questions of such moment, moved to lay
the whole subject on the table. Lost—63 to
111.
The debate was continued by Messrs. Meni
fee, Prentiss, Grey, of N Y. Wise, Thompson
of 8. C., and Glascock—Messrs. Grey and
Glascock opposing the resolution.
Mr. Menifee was severe and personal in his
speech. The point he made was, that Mr.
Duncan allowed that he was insulted by
Messrs. Stanly und Southgate, und that it was
his duty to call upon them for satisfaction. —
But, instead of that, he had recourse to an off
set, und after holding up his wrath for some
weeks, poured it out ill billingsgate abuse
through the Globe.
Mr. Duncan here begged leave to explain that
he had wrote the article a fortnight ago.
Yes, said Mr. Menifee, but irwasuot publish
ed till the day the duelling law took effect.
Here there was a shout from the members
and loud and clamorous applause from the gal
leries, which were crowded to suffocation, us
they always are, when a fight is expected,
The Speaker interposed, und said he would
clear the galleries.
Mr. L. Williams hoped, he said, they would
he cleared. But many members cried out “no,”
“no.”
Mr. Duncan replied, but half suffocated with
rage, that whoever intimated that he would
avail himself or had availed hitnsel of thcducl
ling law, was a foul calumniator and scoundrel.
Mr. Menifee said, in rejoinder, that the day
of recrimination and offset was past by. No
body minded that now. Abusive epithets
would not pass as an offset to insult.
Mr. Prentiss’ second speech was still more
abusive. It was evidently intended to drub
Duncan in retaliation—that is “offset”—for his
attack on Stanly and Southgate.
It was an humiliating spectacle for an Ame
rican—take it all and all. The House adjourn
ed without taking any question.
In the Senate, the bill to regulate the mode
of keeping the public money, was passed, 28
to 15.
BOSTON. Feb. 19.
The Border Troubles. —The following
is the Mcsage of the Governor of Maine,
communicating official information to the
Legislature of the arrest of the Land
Agent.
To the House, of Representatives:
In compliance with the repuest of the
II ouse of Representatives, I herewith com
municate such information as I have in re
lation to “the reported abduction of the
Land Agents.”
Under the Resolve of the 24th of January
last, entitled “ Resolve relating to trespass
ers upon the public lands,” the Land Agent
repaired with about two hundred chosen
men to the scene ofoperatiou on the Aroos
took River. Prior to his reaching there,
it is understood that the trespassers, amount
ing to nbout three hundred in number, all
1 aiwied, had combined and were deter
mined to.o S i s tevery effort to break them
■ up. Fmdtftg, that the Land Agent
1 had prepared hirrts,w „;iii a six-pounder,
they chose to retire from the ground,
passing down the river.
The Land Agent with his company also
passed down tiie Aroostook to near it*
inouth, finding the several places of opera
tion abandoned by the trespassers. On
j Monday last, they captured a gang of about
twenty who had been operating further up
the river and sent several who were con
sidered the ring-leaders to Bangor, where
it is supposed they are now in jail. On
Monday the Land Agent sent a letter to
Mr. Laughlin, the Land Agent of the Prov
ince of New Brunswick, inviting a meeting
with him at the house of a Mr. Fitzherbert,
about four tniles from where the company
where then stationed, and on the same
evening with four others, Mr. Melntire
repaired to the house of Mr. Fitzherbert,
; intending to pass the night there. The tres
passers however in some way become pos
, sesseh of the facts, and detached a company
of about fifty, who seized the Agent and
those accompaiying him; and transported
them, it is believed, beyond the bounds of
’ the State.
• i One compaty is now at No. 10, on the
Aroostook, ffrtificd and anticipating an
attack, in case any attempt should be made
on our part to execute the Resolve of tho
24tli of January by destroying the timber
which has already been cut
1 have advised the sending of a reinforce
ment of three hundred men, as it is proba
ble the number of the trespassers will be
constantly augnienting-and if a resolve to
that effort be passed, snail appoint an Agent
to supply temporarily the place of Mr.
Mclntire; and lead on the expedition. I
have also despatched a special Messenger
to Sir John Harvey, Lieutenant Governor
of New Brunswick, for the purpose, among
other things, of ascertaining whether these
highhanded proceeding of the trespassers
ure authorized or in any way countc minced
by tlie Provincial Government; and to pro
cure the release of the Agent and those
taken with hint. The Agent was also
charged with other matter pertaining to
this most extraordinry and outrageous pro
ceeding.
The facts above related, except in rela
tion to my own doings, have been commu
nicated to me verbally by the Sheriff’ of
Penobscot, who formed one of the Compa
ny of the Land Agent.
This is the only communication from the
Land Agent or his company, which I have
had verbally or otherwise, that could be re
lied upon.
JOAN FAIRFIELD.
Council Chamber, Feb, 15, 1830.
From the office of the Bangor AVhig wc
have received the following news :
BANGOR, Feb. 15th.
More News by Express Eleazer
Packurd, Esq. has just passed through this
city, on his way to Augusta, having left
lioulton by Express at 10 o’clock last eve
ning, with a letter from Mr. Me Inlire, the
Land Agent, to the Governor. The letter
was received by mail at lioulton from
Woodstock, when Mr. Packard took it
lust night.
It seems that about one o’clock Tuesday
night, the house where Me Intire slept, was
surrounded by about forty men in arms.
Me Intire and others were called up and
ordered to bo ready to march to Fredorick
ton. Me Intire demanded by what author
ity they arrested him.—“ This is our au
thority,” said the commander, presenting
the point of a bayonet ;
They took them to Woodstock, had them
up before a magistrate who issued a war
rant against Me Intire, Gustavus G. Cush
man and Thomas Bartlett, and marched
them forthwith to Frederiekton.
Col. Webster came to lioulton last night
and informed Mr. Packard that a body of
one hundred and seventy-five volunteers
under arms, bus proceeded up the river to
capture or disperse the force on the Aroos
took, and that they had employed twenty
five Indians who had joined them on their
march.
The force which Sheriff’ Strickland had
under his command, had fallen back upon
No. 10, where they aro secure against any
encroachments, their position rendering it
impossible to dislodge them without a strong
force. They ha%p a brass field piece under
their control, in addition to small arms, it
is said that Capt. Hines has been chosen to
the command.
Mr. Packard lias no,.knowledge of the
(fhrffents of the letter, and has had no com
inuhifatioti from Mr. Me Intire, neither was
it known at lioulton when he left that Sher
ili’ Snicklnnd had proceeded him.
