liiDti nos Convention. —Wf perceive a no
~ lice iaiuo la.-t Brunswick Advocate, request
ing the citizens of Glynn county to assemble
in Brunswick on the 23d insl. to nominate can
didates to be hallotted for on the first day of
April next, to represent that county in the Con
vention to be held at Milledgeville on the first
Monday in May. \\t are glad to perceive that
the call is not a political one, but that the citi
zens without distinction of party are invited
to attend. Would that this had been the course
throughout the State—we should then have
derived more benefit from the Convention,
than we can at present anticipate. We hope
the eitizensof M’lntoeh will soon be called upon
for a similar purpose. It is time we should be
up and doing. Our county has much at stake
in that Convention.
Darien. —Up to the Ist inst. 58,825 bales of
cottoH have been exported from this city to dif
ferent port*. Notwithstanding the low state of
our river, a considerable quantity has arrived
during the past week ; and from information we
received from Macon we learn that large quan
tities daily arrive Iherc from the interior, all
of which must be sent to this place. Our city
u rapuily increasing, not only in a commercial
point of view, but in every respect that could
be desired. The scarcity of dwelling houses
is the heat evidence pf the increase of her po
pulation. Her lumber business brings hun
dreds of foreign sails to our port, jjjd gives
employment to the various mechanics required ;
to carry them on. Here vessels from foreign
ports fitra i ready market for the produce they
bring and in return ran at all times be supplied,
at very short notice, with the best of lumber,
sawed to any size, and not inferior to any in
the world.
Our hotels are well filled, and their attentive
landlords spare no effort to cater for their :
guests. At omx Cornucopia, kept by Mr. T. C.
Ciiick, the gentleman of leisure can while away
a pleasant hour, or enjoy himself at a game of
billiards. Upon the whole, wc cannot see why
Darien should not, as nature and art intended
her, become one of the principle commercial
ports of the South. Already has her lumber
business drawn attention to her from all parls
of the Union—and she is destined, beyond a
doubt, to become the greatest lumber mart in
the States. Success attend all the laudable
efTorts of those engaged in the prosperity of
our cily.
Wo have received The Hgoenot, anew no- !
vcl by James, and given it a slight perusal.—
Like most of its predecessors front the same : ,
author, it is illustrative of a peculiar portion of
history. The part selected is the last struggle
of the reformed Christians of France, under 1
the reign of Louis XIV. If the reader be : i
somewhat fatigued by the dullness of a portion *
of the first volume, his perseverance in its pc- 1 *
rusal will be amply repaid, by the rapid sue- I
cession of well-told incident that enlivens the I
balance of the work. Like the great chronicler
of the men and manners of the past, Mr. James (
has the faculty of rendering the present oblivi
ous, and becoming the interested spectator of
the scenes and actions, he so vividly describes.
The armour, the battle, and the shoutings of
men, are before him as lie writes, and he seems
to become but the faithful transcriber of bis
own visual impressions. It is not a paradox to
say, that this, his greatest merit, is also some
times his fault; it occasionally renders him
tediously minute in description, where the
subject is unimportant, and when llic reader is
anxious to arrive at the pith of his story. We
w ill not forestall the pleasure of the reader, by
giving him even the name of the hero, but
b court him to the perusal, by the assurance that
P we found the work sufficiently interesting to
seduce us fronilhe performance of grave duties.

An award of $5,800 damages was some time
ago rendered against the New Jersey Rail-
Road Company, for half an aero of land taken
for the location of the road. The Company,
however, appealed from the award, on account
of its excessive and extravagant character, and
the Supreme Court of New-Jersey sustained
the appeal and vacated the award.

Avery respectable jury was impannellcd,
and the Clerk read the indictment, charging
said Tom, with the capital offence.
A number of witnesses were examined, but
nothing was elicited proving the fact on the
prisoner. It seems he had been intoxicated
on the evening in question; and was found
near the premises where the fire was laid.
When arrested, he said he ran from the watch
man—and no combustibles or fire was found
on him. He received a very excellent char
acter from E. Reed, Esq.—and with the ex
ception of getting sometimes drunk, he was
said to be a very harmless fellow.

Lust Night us tlic 25th Congress
WashingTON, March 4,1839.
Last night or rather this morning, at two o’-
clock, both Houses of Congress adjourned
sine die, thus closing the first half century,
during which this body has acted under the
present constitution. The occasion has been
very appropriately seized by a number of the
members of Congress, and other citizens, to
celebrate by a splendid dinner at the Indian
Queen Hotel Ibis evening. .1/r. Webster is to
be present and will give one of his best speech
es. I shall attend and give an account of it
hereafter. Also 1 shall go to the splendid
soiree of the Russian minister.
Congress has closed, after transacting a great
deal of private business, that lias been pending
for years—and yet much remains unacted
upon. Some of the scenes, during the last
three nights, have been both interesting and
amusing. No sitting or session has been ad
journed till 12, or 3, or 4 o’clock in the morn
ing. \ esterday they sal all day, and I pre
sume a great outcry will be raised against this
act, as a desecration of the Sabbath. The war
contingent bill passed yesterday morning, and
was signed on that duy—“the better day, the
jetter deed.”
’ The capitol last night, and I may say, nil
yesterday, presented a strange and amusing
sight. The evening session was, however,
the most amusing. About nine o’clock I
walked tip to the Otpitol, and remained there
till the adjournment at 2 o’clock this morning.
The evening was clear and extremely cold.
As 1 proceeded up the Avenue to the Capitol
Hill, the moon was just rising behind the im
mense black dome of the Capitol itself. Above
its outline, in the clear dark heaven, a brilliant
star stood as a signal light in the great field of
eternity. On each end of the dome, the na
tional banner was floating, and flapping in the
whistling night wind for it blew a strong breeze
The splendor of the moon, hid behind the dome,
radiated around its black outline, and gave a
singular and extraordinary appearance to the
building. It seemed like raysof glory, spread
ing from the Capitol to the farthest verge of
the deep blue heavens. From all the windows
the lights were flashing—and along the aven
ues, leading to the western entrance, they
were equally vivid. To the right the Potomac
shone in the beams at a distance—and to the
left the dark hills that surrounded the city,
threw up their breasts to the sky.
Altogether it was a beautiful, a magnificent,
a sublime seem —embracing the physical und
the moral in the highest degree. Within, the
Executive and representatives of a great na
tion where busy deliberating and deciding on
resolutions that would affect the history of
empires. Coupling all these appearances with
the recent effervescence of national feeling in
both houses on the Maine question, I was in
sensibly led to the time when the Roman lle-
public and the Roman senators were in a simi
lar position, sowing the seeds of great events
and laying the ground work of that proud and
haughty spirit which afterwards conquer*! und
controlled the world. *
The house presented during the whole night
a succession of amusing scenes. On one occa
sion, Dr. Petrikin, of Pennsylvania, u!)8 dem
ocrat, who wears a cue and speaks old English,
got up to make a few remarks on a certain ques
tion. Thehouse was in no temper to hear him.
They coughed, scraped and made noises. The
Doctor stood like a rock, determined to have
his speech. At last he had a chance —“Mr.
Speaker,” said he, “when iny constituents
sent me here, I had an expectation that I was
to associate with gentlemen. It is a mistake,
Mr. Speaker for I find nothing but blackguards
“Order, order,” from fifty voices.
The Doctor was directed to take his scat.
He did do so, but was again soon on his legs.
“Order,” —“order,” —“order,” was shouted
again. Every body was now attentive, from
the loafers in the galery, down to the privileg
ed on the floor. A member demanded to know
the words used which were out of order.
“Gentleman,” said the Speaker “the
words were that when the member from Penn
sylvania came here, he expected to associate
with gentlemen, but only found blackguards.”
Shouts of laughter followed this statement.
Dr. Petrikin rose. “It is true,” said the
Doctor, “I did use the word blackguard, but
I meant it as a generality, not as a personal
ity.”
More laughter followed this explanation.
“Order,” said one. “He is apologizing,” said
another.
The Doctor spoke again. “I deny it sir,”
said he. “I have not apologized, I only have
explained. I have been treated very badly,
and the conduct of the gentlemen In trying to
cough me down was certainly not gentleman
ly—it was blackguard; “order,” “order,” “or
der,” with shouts of laughter.
As the hour became late, the poor errand
hoys or mercuries, lay down at the foot of the
marble pillars, any where almost, and fell into
a profound sleep.—Many of the members ap
peared to be worn out, and where found re
clining on the. sofas. Nothing was heard but
the mallet of the Speaker, constantly infor
cing order, and his rapid voice despatching
the business. Several members of the cabinet,
and the private secretary of the President,
were moving about in the House and Senate,
during the whole evening. The President re
mained in a private room in the Capitol, up to
an early hour, signing the hills as they came
from both Houses. A t length the adjournment
came, and, after pronouncing a very feeling
speech, Mr Polk took his leave of the speaker’s
chair ; the rest of the members quietiy wending
their way down the Avenue, some half asleep,
some tired to death, and some thinking of wife
and home.
The Boundary Business. —We have no
farther news from Maine. At the last accounts,
the Respective generals of two divisions of
the A/aine Volunteers were busy in cutting a
road they hoped would bring them in direct
collision—in fact it does appear that the people
of Maine have taken every possible pains to
have a skirmish, and if there is no fighting af
ter all, it will not be their fault.
It is generally understood that the suppor
ters of the Defence Bill intended that Maine
should take the responsibility of provoking a
fight; this is not the case ; for in the debate
upon it, involving the expediency of the late
procedure of A/aine in this matter, Mr. Legare,
one of the most violent supporters of the Bill,
took occasion to say that ho wished it distinct
ly understood everywhere that those who had
reported this bill, and, so far us he knew, those
who were its advocates and friends, did not
,-ean ‘hat the State of Maine should go beyond
her just powers. They never would consent
that one should usurp the functions of
Congress, in whose hands are the issues of
peace and war.
The Senate has confirmed the nomination,
made by the President of the united States, of
Com. Porter, as resident Minister to Constan
tinople, with a salary of $6,000 per annum.
Absence of Mind.— The very last case oc
curred yesterday. One of our city worthies,
says Flam, went into one of the principal bar
rooms, as usual, called for a brandy toddy,
throwed down a bit in payment, and then
went off, absolutely forgetting to drink it !
Flam says that those who know the individual
uuiity of this forgetfulness best, think the stran
gest of it. • N. O. Picayune.
What a noble contemplation to every lover
of his country is the recent chivalrous course
of the leading Southern men in Congress in re
gard to the Maine troubles. Look at them;
they vie with the representatives of the East
in their determination to stand firm and sup
port the rights of that East. Clay, Calhoun,
Preston, Walker, Linn, and others in the Se
nate —Thompson, Pickens, and others in the
House—all spoke of Maine and her rights with
the determination to support her as freely as
Ihey would the fields of their own sunny
South, whenever necessary. They forgot that
the East had sustained abolition—they did not
look to themselves or llieir local interests or
sectional position in this matter —it was enough
for the South to know that the territorial rights
of a sister and a sovereign State were invaded
by a foreign power, and they rushed to her aid.

I n .Urocinu.l Order. —The following atro
cious notification was recently issued as a
general order, by a wretch named Palillos,
acting in the province of La Mancha ns one
of the. generals of Don Carlos. “Every father,
mother’ brother, and relative to the fourth
degree, ofthosc now serving in the ranks of

troops, shall be immediately put to death This
article comprises all individuals whose rela
tive shall serve us pecetcros or what is called
“national volunteers,”and finally every man
armed against our legitimate Sovereign, Ddli
Carlos, and his iinprescripitable rights.”
Dreadful Accident. —A young man who
attempted on Tuesday to got on a burthen
train passing the Oakland Hotel, Delaware
county, Pa., was caught by the railing of
the bridge and thrown down and run over
by eight of the ears, mangling and frac
turing his limbs in a shocking manner, and
causing death in three hours;

service, 1520 percussion cannon locks,
52,700 small arms, 317 gun carriages—and
for the militia, 80 cannon for field artillery
and 10,800 small fire-arms.
Steamboat Accidents. —The steamer
Aler from New Orleans for Tuscumbia,
hurst her steam pipe near Princeton, on
the Mississippi, by which three men were
scalded, one of whom afterwards died.
The steamboat Pawnee, Captain Carlisle,
from St. Louis for New Orleans, got
aground about a fortnight ago near the
Grand Tower. The boat will he a total
loss, hut much of the cargo has been saved.
The steamer Coquette was entirely de
stroyed by fire on the 14th,. a few miles
above the mouth of the Kenawa fiver. She
was crushed by the ice, and was burnt to
the water’s edge. Even the yawl was
consumed:
About the same time, the steamboat
Victory was sunk by the ice, some forty or
fifty miles below Wheeling.
Canadian Insolence. —A commander
of some British troops, at Mtanstead,
Lower Canada, marched his company un
der arms, into the town of Derby, Vermont,
on Tuesday the 19th inst. The Vermonters
warned them against such an intrusion
while they were underarms, but told them
they should he happy to see them it they
would leave their military equipments at
home. The Britisli commander said, that
with 3000 men he could march through
New Ijnglnnd Unmolested. —Hoston Conr.
