REDCCT ION C<>NYENTION
The Act providing forn call of a Convent ion to j
reduce the number of the General Assembly, is a very
important one to :he interest of the State nt large.—
It seem* to have lioon drawn up by a careful and ob
serving hand w ithout favor or affection to any parti
•rular locality. It may bo seen in any of the papers i
■of the State, ami should be read by all. The last
sect ion provides the same per diem pay as is received
by members to the General Assembly, so that the ne
cessary time, taken up will be the only inconvenience
to those who may le chosen to attend. The smaller
counties, or as they have been railed in the I-o'gitda
iure, “rottenltoroughs” should lie particular in send
ing delegate*; tin* lute and cry has always been
against them If the senatorial district plan is adopt
ed, let us have some choice of partners, as this county
for instance, wc have Lil>erty on the north. Wayne,
and Glynn, on ihc south and w est. Now if Liberty
and Mclntosh, were hitched together, it would only
le reuniting old bonds, and being nearly equal, we ,
should hare an interesting match race for a Senator—
Wavne would have to send her compliments to the
•Government by our Senator, and if asstriaied with
Glynn, we should he taken under tk” especial serin- j
torial keeping of the memlier diet from the city of
r il roads and canals and naval d-pots, when they
are all finished.
Tire election day by the Act is the Ist Monday in
April, and the meeting of the Convention the Ist 1
Monday in May. Wb> will represent Mclntosh?
TUB TIMES.
“Why, to-day nint Sunday, is it saiil the
proprictor of an Appling cart, as lie dismount
ed from his creature and hitched her, “It looks
mighty still for week-day, now dont it f My
neighbours allowed there were n right smart
of trade agoing in Dariun. Just gitten to be
dull times agin, eh ?”
This appropriate salutation met our car a
few mornings since. Now if times were only
dull and no notes to meet, there would be some
comfort in comparison to the present state of
things. Before breakfast take a marketing
cruise—then breakfast and read the late pa
pers. In the forenoon drop a line or two to
delinquent customers, scribble a little, if the
pen is good, pull out the till and shut it again
in a hurry, take asquint at the sleeping goods
or idle boats, walk out to a neighboring suf
ferer and help him whittle a piece of white
pine. Talk about the Border troubles, or the
Indian murders, and after saying dull times,
and worse a coming, Haunter back again. In
the afternoon draw your chair out in front of
your door an?! lean back, and if you stay there
long enough, the sun will go down quietly,
and you may lock up and go home. Blit these
little papers in red i,ik make a brisk out door
business, and often to little avail, for this Kn.
Kinney war among the banks hasstopped all
discounts, and your only hope is to tip up the
front rim of your beaver, button your coat,
streak it up or down town and borrow (if you
can) fora few days. That respectable person
walkingslowly with his hands under his coat
tuil and his hat cocked up behind, is not to be
seen. The regular Peter and Paul system is
how in full operation, and unless the banks
■come to the rescue, these worthies themselves
must soon go without their pay.
To tliis city onr river is the source of most
of the bustle and circumstance of business, aiid
the unprecedented drought has made it so low
the past season as to cut short at least one half
the usual shipping and forwarding interest.
IU wever, our philosophy is that so much rain
lulls during tlie year and hope that June will
make amends for January. Onr friend and
neighbour of the Brunswick Advocate, lately
on a visit here, readily accounts for our inac
tivity in our river. It is low enough now in all
conscience, but w lull will lteceme of us when
the Alataiuaha turns off by Carr’s Island and
runs through the canal to Brunswick ? Here
we’ll be high and dry. and then a fig for all our
cotton and lumber! But sufficient for the day
is the evil thereof.
It is not an unusual tiling when the river is
first rate , as the patroons say, for six and
eight freight boats (two, to a wheel-barrow
Ktearner) to leave for the interior in one day,
to say nothing of ihe out-ward bound eraft,
perhaps in greater numbers. Although a
source of no profit to us. wc confess we like
to see these little stern wheel boats come Jum
bling down stream, head and tail up, puffing
and blowing and sntoaking as if the river was
on fire, whirling round and off in ait hour or
two, with their convoy. We like to hearthe
I>cathorn and the merry song of the crew, on
t our regular “ Oconee.’’ which often comes
plaintively at midnight into our chamber. M e
like to hear the alage horn, it brings Ihc IntcM
nows, and helps us to make the reading mat
ter of the HkkaU) interesting to our patrons.

We are pained to communicate lo our rea

HARRY’S FERRY, March LI, 139.
My Dear Sir. —By advices received
from the South, we have the melancholy in
telligence of the death o! (’apt. Samuel L.
Russell, of the‘2d, Infantry ; a gallant offi
cer, God’s noblest work, an honest man.
and a siuccro Christian ; he deserved mul
enjoyed the esteem and love ol all who
knew him. He was dceending the Miatni
-1 river on the ‘Jnili ultimo, on his way to Fort
Dallas with a part of his company in open
boats—the savages, in ambush on the river
j bank, waited until he arrived within gun
shot, when the boats received a volley from
the Indians, who being on an eminence,
lircd over them, and no one was injured.
Captain R. immediately struck for the op
posite shore, am] on reaching it, leaped out
on the ground, mol turning round to ad
dress a few words lo his men, was instant
ly liiod at by several rifles, those of which
took effect two jo his body, and one just
above the temple, producing instantaneous
death. Lieutenant Woodruff', Cap. It’s,
subaltern, who was some distance behind,
heard the firing, and hastening to the suc
cor of his captain, engaged the Indians for
nearly tin bout, w hen he forced them to re
treat. lie then collected bis boats and hav
ing obtained possession of bis captain’s
body, proceeded to Fort Dallas. The In
dians were pursued, hut us usttul, their per
fect knowledge of the country enabled
them to escape, (’apt. Russel was clad in
the undress uniform of the infantry, and it
was to ibis that wc may merely attribute
his death—ns Gut one man of the company
besides himself was touched.—The loss of
the Indians was not known, their number
was rntirh greater than lias fought us to
gether for a long vv liilc. The remains of
Captain R. were interred with military
honors on the Ist instant. By intelligence
received from the interior, we learn that
Major Noel’s wound has proved mortal,
and thus we are compelled at the same time
to mourn the loss of two brave and efficient
officers, and to acknowedge that “in the
midst of life we are in death.”
Yours, Truly.
OmcK of thkNkws.” J
ST. AUGUSTINE, March 13lh, 1839 (
From Tniupji Bay.
About the Ist. inst., Gen. Taylor shipped
250 Indians, consisting of 65 warriors, women,
children and negroes, westward. The women
were ycry reluctant to go. and upbraided the
men with cowardice, in refusing to die upon
their native soil. The vessel departed amid
their lamentations and taunts, and reproaches
upon the conduct of their warriors.
Among the negroes, is Abraham, well known
as an interpreter, and a w ily and treacherous
rascal.
By the steamer Gantcl. Oapt. Poinsotto. from
the Southern ports, wc b arn that the troops
are all well. No demonstrations of the enemy
since the affair at Miami—l.icnt. Mackall is
rapidly recovering.
Gen. Tuylor has secured the above amount
of Indians with but little noise—and their
shipment is the first intelligence received by us,
of even theircapture.
Suspension of Specie Payments—
The Detroit Advertiser of the 25tli tilt,
contains an official announcement by the
officers of the Detriot city Bank, announ
cing that the Bank has suspended specia
payments for 60 days.—The Detroit Ad
vertiser says that the suspension was cau
sed by a continued run on the Bank for spe
cie, and adds—-“ From the high character
of the gentleman engaged in that institu
tion, we have every reason to believe that
its obligations to bill holders and depos
itors, will be redeemed at the expiration
of that period Wc thank we may safely
caution the holders of the bills against
making any sacrifice upon them. The a
mount in circulation is only $15,423,
being onlv one tenth of the circulation allo

‘l’m: Canadas. —All is quiet here. No more
hanging—all the prisoners under sentence of
death arelo be transported. In Lower Canada
troops lire moving otfto New Brunswick. In
Fppof Canada, Col. Prince has shot two men
in two duels, and Governor Arthur Ims opened
the provincial parliament in n speech of four
columns in length. Ho congratulates tho
Legislature, upon the present tranquillity of
the province, and security of the frontier, but
declares his belief that Ihe dangers nre far from
being entirely at an end. He ninintnins that
the motives which caused those dangers are
still existing with unabated force; and that
henceforth the province must chiefly rely upon
its own ability to repel and punish hostile
aggression. He therefore recommends early
attention to such amendments of Ihe militia
laws as shall place that force on the host pos
sible footing. The agitating question of the
clergy reserves isenrnestly commended to the
early action of the legislature.
Mexico. —No important movements have
been made in Mexican affairs since the Great
\V*stern left. The blockade isstil continued
by the French, and no prospect of a peace.
The natives are fighting against each other
fiercely, and both sides claim the victory, but
without any decisive results. It is believed
that the province of Yuctan has been ceded to
England, and that the Califoriiius nre also to
be ceded to that country.
LONGEVITY OF OUR FORFATHERS,
No less than thirteen of the fifty-six signers
of American Independence reached the age of
eighty years and upwards, viz:;
Charles (’arroll, of Maryland, 95
William Ellery of Rhode Island, 93
John Adams of Massachusetts, 91
Samuel Adams, do 81
Robert Treat Paine, do 93
Benjamin Franklin, do 84
William Williams, of Connecticut, 91
W illitvm Floyd, of New York, 87
Thomas McKean, of Pennsylvania, 83
Thomas Jefferson, of Virginia, 83
George Wythe, do 89
Matthew Thornton, of Ireland, 89
Francis Lewis, of Wales, 90
Being an average of 8(5 years and two
months each ; and the aggregate excess of the
“time-honored thirteen” over four score is just
eighty years. No deliberate Assembly of equal
magnitude was ever more remarkable for the
virtue, temperance, and longevity of its mem
bers, than the one which declared the Ameri
can colonies free and independent.
Tram the Macon Telegraph,
Wc were present at the Central Hotel on
Friday, at the Collation given by the citi
zens of Macon in honor of their enterpri
zing fellow- citizen James It, Butts, pro
prietor of the new Steamboat Sam Jones,
which had just arrived. No one individual,
perhaps, has contributed more to advance
tilt prosperity of this city limn Mr. B. He
may utmost be said to be the father of
Steamboat Navigation on the Ocmitlgee.
The class of Boats, with stearn wheel,
were invented and first put into success
ful opperation on our River by him. A
number of highly appropliate and patriotic
sentiments were drank on the occasion,
which we regret being unable to collect.
The two following are all wc remember.
Mr. Janies K. Butts—He has long been
identified with the interests of our city—
may his genius and enterprise be highly
rewarded.
The Sam Jones.—May she never want
freight or water—and never get in the
cinches of “Davy Jones.”
The rase of The People of the State of
New York vs. Barney Corse, was finished
on Saturday morning, at 4 8 o’clock, having
lasted nearly a weak. The jury after being
out fifteen hours, not being able to agree,
were discharged by the (!ourt. The ex
citement (luring the trial was great. The de
fendant was a highly respectable man, and
of one of the most wealthy and respectable
families in New York. The District At
torney, Mr. Whiting, and Mr. Jordon,
from Hudson, conducted the prosecution:
Messrs Whctmorc and David Paul Brown
were concerned for the defence.
On the 15th inst. the N. Y. Court of
Common Pleas lined Win. Russel S2OOO,
for biting off part of E. Norris’ nose.
The witnesses testified that he bit off one
third of it. We suppose therefore, that it is
a settled law in New York thill a man’s en
tire nose is worth 8(1,000. — Lou. Jour.
Ingenious Reports. — John Wesley,
having to travel some distance in a stage
coach, fell in with a pleasant tempered,-
cheerful, well informed officer. His con
versation, was sprightly and entertaining,
but frequently mingled with oaths. When
they were about to take the next stage,
Mr. Wesley took the officer apart, and af
ter expressing the pleasure he had enjoyed
in his company, told him he was thereby
encouraged to ask of him a very great fa
vor. I would lake a pleasure in obliging
you, said the officer, and I am sure you
will not make an unreasonable request.
Then, said Mr. Wesley,as we have to tra
vel together for sometime, I beg that if I
should so far forget myself as to swear in
your company, you will kindly reprove me.
The officer immediately saw the motive,
and felt the force of the request, and smil
ing said none but Mr. Wesley could have
conveyed a reproof in such a manner.
The last case of absence of mind that we
have keen is that of a woman in Kentucky,
who put herself on the fire instead of the
tea-kettle, and did not discover her mistake
till she began to sing.
