D A JR IEIV HERALD. Tuesday Morning, March li>, 1839. JCj*Wearc authorized to say that Mr. H. A. Gran* will serve as Major of the Oth Bataßlon 2d Regiment, G. M.. if elected. 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. j .z •‘fir t TV FrtnckfShip Alexandre. — The predic •of Dr. iioliraud, French Consul of New p,i.t, ‘R. I. that piracy and murder had been on, unitted on board the Alexandre, has it s< effl.Sj'bcen verified beyond all question, by the confession of the boy Bailly, before the Go vernment officer at Brest. We regret to learn, says the Baltimore Chron icle, that a rumor was current in Washington Tcsterday, and was generally believed, that the Hon. Mr. Southgate, of Kentucky, had chalenged Mr. Duncan. We trust, for many i reasons, that this may turn out to be an error. | The Cherokees.— The last of the emigra- V ting Cherokees arrived at Little Roek on llic A 24th, ult. Amongthem is the celebrated chief, ■ John_ Ross, who buried his wife at that place B tht day after their arrival. Nine deaths occur ved silica the commencement of the journey. Avery intelligent writer in the National In f jßveuc.-r has written upon the subject of the increase of population in the U. States, “and in his remarks he comes, and fairly we L •hiak to the conclusion, that in 1840 we shall have a population of at least 17,153,333, —in s 1854 a population of 30,494,880. —in 1870, a population of 40,659.840, and 1880. a popula- K* t'ton of 54,213,420.

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. The salary of the British Anihassutlor at Paris is $60,0U0 per annum, besides perquisites. Yet such is the vice regal dignity maintained at his splendid hotel that he is obliged to spend in addition the income of a large private fortune.

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. R. M. Charlton, Esq. ably conducted the defence, and the case went to the Jury after a few remarks from the Court. The Jury having retired for a short time, returned with a verdict |of Not Guilty. — Georgian.

T&M VftMTTiTO&m VQWWW i From the New York Herald. 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. .■l/ex Gax. 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 the rebels, who may fall into the hands of my 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; The Petersburg (Va.) Intelligencer says the railroad thence to the Roanoke, has made more money and killed more people than any in the United States, Arms Prepared During 1838. It ap pears by the report of Col. Boml'ord chief of the Ordnance Department, that during the year 1838, the United States govern ment, have caused to he made, 143 cannons for field artillery, 71 cannon for gurrison 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. married, On Wednesday evening laid, in Savannah, by the Rev. Mr. Sewell, Mr. TIIOMASG.
