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. The Bnrjisu'tCK Advocate.— -We nre pleased to hear of the respectable subscription list to the above dbsertins print, in our immediate ; uoigborbood, and the prompt respond to the payment thereof, (nothing selfish.)

Office of the Ukorc.ian, { Savannah, March IS, 1839. S FROM FLORIDA. Loss OF ANOTHER OAI.I.ANT OFFICER. We are pained to communicate lo our rea ders the. following intelligence received by the editor of the Georgian, from liis atten tive correspondent. When will our coun try be rid of a pest, which causes such dis tress lo the domestic circle, while it cuts off, one by one, of onr gallant officers ? And ; yet a Hu Indent House of Congress have permitted Mr. Menton’s hill for ihe armed occupation of this Southern Territory to slumber on its table. Hy the steamer Charleston, Cnpt. Hub bard, our correspondent writes : 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 wed them by the general banking 1 twunder ■,t liich that histitttiio.it was created. T,HJEI MQINTOSH 1 ‘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. PENN. V. S. BANK. For (lie first time for many months, a re port of the condition of this Bank is published, of its situation in Dec. last.

Its discounts and bills of exchange about 38.000,000; its Stock accounts more than 17,000.000. It has due from the State Banks, including their notes, about 9,000,000, while it owes them only about 3,000,000. It has also due from its State Bank agents about 7,099,- 004.

What next? —Mr. Black, a dentist, has invented artificial and incorruptible gums,ns well asteeth. We shall next hear of artificial stomachs, with powerful digestors. The whole structure of man is undergoing re forms. Artificial eyes, artificial teeth, gums and palate—artificial legs and arms—ar tificial hair; by and bv the whole animal will be artificial. Pathos. —The Philadelphia Gazette quotes the expression of a New York law yer who spoke of certain sins as not being pardonable “ either at the high court of heaven, or in the inferior courts of this country.” WELI.ERIS.MS. ‘Let tnc extend to you the right hand of fellow-ship,—ns the steel trap said to the beaver. ■Let me introduce you to the hospitable table of my friend,’as the fish-hook said to the trout. ‘We are apt to retain first impressions,’ as the newspaper said to the steam press. ‘We are suffering with drouth,’ us the loafer said to the corn-field, ‘We live foreach other,’ as the wolf said to the lamb. “Necessity is the mother of invention,” as the cook said, when she used her night rap fora pudding bag. “I don’t stand in need of your service,” us the nigger said to the curling tongs. “Does your anxious mother know you’re out, my dear ?” inquired an impudent fel low of a modest little damsel whom he met in the street. “To be sure she docs,” was the ready re ply,“ for she sent me to buy sortie pork— are yon for sale?” “Don’t put yourself out on my account,” as the engine said to the lire. “One good turn deserves another,” ns the goutiemnn on the tread-mill observed to bis neighbor. “Most haste ; worst speed,” us -th- ra nibus said to the express mail. John J. Me ( ‘ahen and William J. Jjider have been appointed his Aids by Gov. Porter of Pennsyl vania. The appointment excites remark from the fact that both were conspicuous actors in tit ’ scenes of violence at Harrisburg, and McCahen is now un der indictment for his participation in tliul business. This McCahen isllte same notorious individual, who during the excitement in Harrisburg, entered the hull of representatives, addressed the mob in a violent po litical harrang; making every effort in his power to excite the ruffians lo desperation, and disperse the re presentations of the people. He is hut a common bar-room politician—small in statue and totally des titute of mind. We know him “like a hook,” uml feel confident the appointment can reflect no cre dit on Gov, Porter—but on the contrary is an insult to tin; citizens of Pennsylvania.
