on the loth inst. The following gentlemen were

Mk. Wires'*. Speech. —ln another part of our pa
per to-day will be found one of the most remarka
ble speeches, we apprehend, that has ever been de
livered in a deliberative or legislative body. Its
appearance will not, of eourse, be taken as any indi
cation that it meets our approbation. We give it ns
a specimen of the reasoning, which a man of genius
can adopt, to juslitir a practice which he admits to
be an abomination to his conscience,and 5C the over
flowing of that feeling, which pushes the
‘'man of honor”toth- violation of law, morality, and
religion.
DANK OF DARIEN.
We regret to leant that th Dank of Darien
has been compelled to suafp-iMI specie
merits for the present. Wcjpre perfectly sa
tisfied, however, that this measure has been
only in consequence of difficulties elsewhere,
stnd the Board here have determined to sus
pend from a sense of justice to ull concerned.
Still as to the solvency of the institution there
can be uodoubt, and we Would therefore most
strongly reenmm ml to all bill holders to avoid
speculators and not to sacrifice what notes of
the BauV they may have on hand. The peo
ple generally, in this section of the country,
have the utmost confidence in the solvency
of the Dank, and its bills are freely received.
This is as it should be. The circumstances
which led to the suspension are too well
known to injure the credit of the Dank.
The B um it Bank or Darien, located in the city
of Savannah, tins suspended specie payments. The
holders of its notes will not lose a dollar by the sus
pension. Not only then ,s.-ts of the bunk and branches
may ultimately he sufficient to redeem its circulation,
but the property of the stockholders is bound inpro
]K>rtion to the amount of stock they own, for the re
demption of the notes ; and, besides, the state, being
the largest stoekhohler, is “pledged for the ultimate
redemption of (tie bills or notes of said bunk, in pro
portion to the amount of the value of shares that shall
sir may be suhseribed for and held by said state.”
According to the report of the hank, made on the
first of October last, the capital of the institution
amounted to #851,050. Os this amount of slock,
#*210,535 had been redeemed by the hank, leaving a
stock of #110,515, owned hy individuals and the
state; hy individuals #115,515, and hy the state
#315,000. The notes in circulation on that day
amounted to #010,050:
The Savannah Georgian of the 35th inst. contains
a notice from the Cashier of the Branch Bank of Da
rien, inviting the holders of notes of the Bank not to
make any sacrifice in disposing of them, ns the ear
liest measures will lie adopted to enable the Bank to
resume.
Bine of Hawmnsvii.lx —John Rawls, Esq. Pre
sident of this institution gives notice that its Notes
will he received hy all the Banks in Augusta, both
inpayment and on d r -posit, and will likewise be re
deemed as usual at the counter of the Bank. On the
27 th inst. the Augusta Banks refused to receive ih'm,
hut the following day the President of the Bank
made the necessary arrangements and they are now
taken as above stated. Our citizens must nil remem
ber the run that was made upon this hank about two
years ago. She then sustained herself with much
credit, and we have no doubt w ill he able to do so
aga'n.
THE ORATORIO.
Given on Thursday evening last in the Presbyte- j
rian Church, by the “Social Choir” of Darien, was
well attended, and went off with much eclat.
The following gentlemen have been nominated as
candidates by the citizens of Savannah, to represent
Chatham county in the Reduction Convention:
JAMES M. WAYNE,
JOHN M. BERRIEN,
ROBERT W. POOLER.
ROBERT M. CHARLTON,
JOSEPH W. JACKSON.
The Sa.sdessvii.le Advocate. —This little eight’
by ten, fired a squib at us last week. After compli
menting the Herald, the editor throws his hat in the
air, and exclaims that he has heretofore been unable
to ascertain our politics until be received the last
number—and then gratuitously gives us someadvice. 1
We are at a loss to conceive whether it is igno-jnee
or impudence which induced the editor to pen the lat
ter part of tht article alluded to. Like all little curs,
lwwever, it claims the priviledge to bark at every
stranger, conscious that its presumption will pa.s un
heeded. By the bye, we will send the Advocate, a
basket of champaigne if he will point out an article
of ours in which we hare advocated any particular
party. There is avast difference between patriotism,
and party spirit. Genuine patriotism is the offspring
of an enlightened and expanded benevolence. Party
spirit is the legitimate progeny of an ignoble and
contracted salfishnesi.

I Afe/C* race uchcccn Ca/g. T. B. lUnUt't Rhone
korx Piter the Ureal — an4 Major Joseph Cray's
j bay Cel Holden — for one lh mi sand dollars aside.
As it is but seldom in this part of the country
I" r ,lavo fin opportunity of enjoying the plen
j ‘■ore, or piluessing the sport arising from it
I race, between the celebrated-Mood horses, I
take the liberty of offering to the columns of
your useful paper, an account of one which
took place a few days since on the lliurk Point
Course in the County. This was certainly
one of the most amusing and interesting races
that ever 1 w itnessed. The track was hard
and level, and the air of the cloudless morning
was fanned by the gentle morning breeze
which flowed in from the ocean.
On the appointed day, large crowds asgem*
] bled to witness the race, and bmvtug appeared
ito be the order -c the (lav. At nine o’clock in
t„ morning, the horses wore led on the track,
| and so anxious were they to test their speed,
j that they broke loose from their riders and
| darted off at full speed, Holden leading Peter
| about one neck and head, and bad proceeded
in this way half around the course, when the
owner of Peter being “ileet-a-fool” crossed the
track and intercepted them.
Finally they were brought hack to the start
ing place, thrir riders thrown upon them, and
at the lap of the drum they darted off with the
rapidity of lighlhing, Holden again leading
the way, which he kept until the last quarter,
when Court ay, the rider of Peter, gave him rein
and whip which soon brought him out ahead,
amidst the loud cheers of his hackers. Though
I could plainly behold disappointment depict-1
ed in the faces of those who had stood tip for
the beaten Holden, yet nothing daunted, the
horses being rubbed down were again brought
on the track. N6w betting ran high. Two to
one was offered on Peter, and quickly were
they accepted by the Holden party. In this
heat H inds, the rider of Holden, was ordered to
hold up, depending entirely on the well known
bottom which lie inherited from his ancestor
Bertrand. Again the drum rolled the. signal |
for starting, and again like the arrows flight
moved away the noble chargers, Peter again 1
leading the way by a few feet. In this way i
they ran two thirds of the away around tile
course. When Hinds, mindful of the order
given him slacked the rein, and touching Hol
den with the whip, he soon passed his antago
nist and came out triumphantly ahead, landing
by three lengths. Then the air resounded
with the shouts of victory which arose from
a hundred joyful voices, who but a moment
previous held their heads in disappointment.
Thus terminated one of the most unpam lled
races that ever occurred in this section of
country.
I tun told that the Captain has bantered the
Major for another race of one mile. So soon
as it takes place, I will give you n correct
statement of it. Time of the first heat, 5
minutes 10 seconds. Second, 10 minutes 15
seconds. VALENTINE.

Mii. Editor :
Observing by your last nttmber of the Herald,
that “End” gratuitously, and unprovoked, has
summoned from its grave a story long since for
gotten by me, and dissected it that the public
might decide upon its structure, it becomes me
as the subject of his learned and profound
criticism to yield him u passing uolicc. Be
fore proceeding further, however, allow me to
add, that all future emanations from so highly
a disciplined mind will find an oblivion in nty
apathy, and be passed hy ns the “idle wind
which I regard not.” As End’s reply neither
calls for, nor admits of a direct rejoinder, vve
shall dwell for a few moments upon modern
criticism, and modern critirs. Among the
means necessary to promote the proper culti
vation of letters, criticism undoubtedly holds
a conspicuous place. A master of the art by
candidly examining the production of an
author can render essential service, not only to
the young, whose taste and judgment are yet
unformed, but to all, who delight in tracing
the operations of the mind.
Hence, a writer who takes upon.himself the
high responsibility of sitting in judgment upon
the character of any production should not
correspond to Pope’s definition of a critic, as
lacking spirit, taste, and sense, but should on
the contrary possess all these qualities. 11l
fine he should neglect no means, and slight no
precaution which might conduce to render use
ful to the cause whose champion he professed
ly is.
With a criticism founded upon such princi
ples, who could doubt of its importance and
usefulness 1 Who could condemn its decisions,
though himself were a subject of its censure ?
It is only when it departs from these princi
ples, that its deformity appears, and its evil in
fluences are felt. It is only then too, that it be
comes an object of disregard and contempt,
and a disgrace to the land in which it exists.—
Let the hireling, or petty scribbler of every
little journal, arrogate to himself the right of
giving a criticism upon every production that
is published; or let motives of envy, or jealousy
imluence its tone ;
“Let fools rush in where angels fear to rush.”
and who will answer for thesacrilege commit
ted ? And if there be any thing “under hea
ven’s wide hallowness,” which is deserving the
appellations of ridiculous and detestable, it is
the puny efforts of some pigmy writer, endeav
ouring to wield the weapons which were made
solely for the nerve of a giant arm.
It has not been our intention at this time to
at all disparage the name, or office of an en
lightened and judicious critic. But of that
numerous band of protended critics, nothing
is to be boded beyond the certainty of render
ing them ridiculous, and a dishonor to the
cause they have so foolishly espoused. In
conclusion, we will add, that wc could not but
smile at the frank and self-complimenting con
fession of “End,” while holding forth with the
J heedless w armth of an enthusiast, lie “classed
thit iviointosh
: himself with the genera Esquimaux.” “End’s”
reply might be critisod with the case, and the
! contempt and venom of its bitterness, with
which It teems he made to flow hack into the
1 channel whence they issued.

FREE TRADE.
I have always entertained, and do now feel,
all the partiality for Savannah, which I ought
; to have towards the chief sea [tort city of my
native State. It is front this feeling that lam
pained to see tiny course of policy pursued
which tnay have a tendency to direct to other
cities the trade of the interiorofour state, much
less of the imi“dlote neighborhood of the ci
ty ilsolf. The course of the Savannah Banks,
in refusing to take the hills of the Interior
Banks of our State who will pay specie on <le
mand, is awakening a strong feeling against
her—and wc here, attribute the present mone
j tary pressure, to that suicidal policy. Ido not
pretend to divine the motive,lftiay have been
j intended to sustain a sound currency in the
State, or it maybe from motive less pure ; but,
the immediate results of that measure is so
plain, that all must see it, and certainly all
willfeel it. It is to cause a scarcity of money,
and as we think unnecessarily to disturb the
confidence in hank raper generally. The lib
eral course of the Charleston Bunks—who not
only take their own up country bills, hut those
of our State also—is a remarkable contrast.
Her trade will receive the benefit of it. The
great difference in the facility as to money bo
tween Savannah and Charleston, is becoming
the general subject of remark ; and if things
continue in their present slate much longer, I
would not be at all surprised that Savannah
should lose the trado of Liberty County, enti
rely. This at first might seem a small matter,
hut can it he a small matter to her to have
all Ihe Cotton raised in this Country (general
ly about 3000 bales Sea-Island) sent to Chfiles
ton and the proceeds of that Cotton (say S3OO
000) laid out in trade in that city ? Nothing
can be easier than for this county to institute
a regular steamboat communication between
Rieehorough and Charleston ; and our citizens
feel sanguine that banking facilities may be ob
tained through that city by a branch of one of
their Banks in our midst. Our Planters would
then soon find that they were then in trade
with a city sufficiently large, to prevent the
possibility of Merchants colluding to keep up
the prices of Negro Cloths, &e.

Macon, Mo roll 20. — Storm. —The hardest
rain we ever knew, fell on Friday night last.
It poured down like the bursting of a water
spout. All above, around and delow, was wa
ter, water. Not a foot of dry land was to be
seen. The thunder, und lightening, and wind
and hail, at the same time was awful. Many
gardens and farms are totally ruined. The
seed and growing crops arc washed out of the
earth—fences destroyed—beautiful fields torn
into gullies, the soil washed away, leaving
nothing but the primitive rock, or a desert
waste. The roads are also much cut tip, and
we expect to hear of many mills and br''2g cS
washed away. The Ocmulgec roo suddenly

THE INDIANS.—We stop the press to tell
another talc of Indian fighting, blood and mur
der. We shall he brief, lor we are sick at heart
upon even an approach to this subject.
On Monday while Capt. Dowell’s company
were scouting, they fell in with an old negro
man, who told them he hail just seen Indians
and directed the soldiers where they might
find them. The scouts charged on, and soon
came in sight of two Indians, who were quiet
ly seated upon a fence, and who beckoned the
whites in a friendly manner to approach,
which Ihe latter did fearlessly, and upon near
ing the fence, were fired on hy a large party
of Indians who were concealed in the Ham
mock, supposed to number from (10 to 70.
Two of Capt. K’s company were killed on
the spot, and two badly wounded. One dead
Indian was afterwards found on the ground.
The affair happened in Patterson’s Ham
mock, a few miles cast of the Oeillin. Capt.
Rowell and his men are said to have fought
bravely;but had not sufficient force to contend
sucefully with the foe.

IMPORTANT FROM TAMPICO.
A letter has been received in this city by
the Cora, from Tampico, containing advice
of interest respecting late political move
ments and events in Mexico. The gen
tleman to whom it was written, has been
so obliging as to furnish us with a sum
mary of the leading items. The date of the
letter was the27th of Fcbuary, atTampico,
General Mexia was at Tuspan, with one
thousand good troops full of enthuiiam.
General Cos was Papatlan, marching a
gainst General Mexia wilhflOOincn, mostly
raw recruits, ofwhomc many were deser
ting to the side of the Federalist. In an
engagement with the Centralists, Gcncial
Urcr had received a trifling check, caused
hy the imprudenceofonc of his lieutenants.
But an express had arrived at Tampico
bringing tidings that Gen. Urrca had next
day fought a pitched battle with the army
of the Government in which the latter were
defeated with heavy loss. Their comman
der, in chief, General Romero, was carried
from the field mortally wounded. The
broken regiments retreated in disorder
upon San Louis Dc Fontosi.
Colonel Parrara, with a strong rein
forcement was to leave Tampico imme
diately to join Gen. Urrca, who was waiting
the arrival of the former,before marching
on San Louis, where the remnants of the
defeated force had fled for shelter. Santa
Anna was expected in Mexico the 17th Feb.
Ob his arrival Biistamente was to take
command of the troops and march on Tam
pico. A rumor prevailed a? Tampico that a
proposition for a settlement of disputes,
had been offered by the Mexican Go vet u
ment to Admirable Hamlin, but the report
was discredited.
The following is the letter ulluded to in
tlie above, which wo coppv from the Loui
sianian. It is written by a superior officer
in the Liberating Army.
Tampico, Feb. 27, 1339.
Mexis is as yet at Tuspun, not having
up to this moment affected his march on
I’ueble, ns lie formerly desired in conse
quence of the proximity of Cos’ forces,
which have approached and already occupy
Pnpontla. Mexia writes me under date es
the 19th instant, and tells me that he calcu
lated on 1,000 men more, well accoutered
and filled with enthusiasm—that desponden
cy has seized upon the army of Cos, pari
of which hud deserted to Tuspan. These
deserters have declared that the enemy’s
forces are composed of 700 or NOO recruits’
consequently wc may every moment ex
pect to hear that Mexia has obtained a
victory.
Gen. Urrea has been a little unfortunate
in the valley of Del Maiz ; for in conseque
nce of the bad measures which (Jen. Marti
nez had taken, his infantry was attacked
and routed to this place on the 12th inst.
This event was however of no importance,
as on the day after the engagement the
enemy retired, bringing with them their
chief Colonel, ltomcro, who was severely
wounded.
“The operations of the compaing should
be directed on San Luis, which is at pre
sent by far the most important point.
“A courier extraordinary sent by Urrea
and who arrived yesterday or to-day, brings
us intelligence that the enemy has abandon
ed Rio Verde and tied back to San Luis,
against which place the general will pro
ceed as soon as the reinforcement which he
expected will have arrived.
•‘Santa Anna must have entered Mexico
on tlic 17th inst, for the purpose of taking
charge of the presidency, which Bustamcntc
had yielded with the design of going to fight
the French at Tampico. Formerly we were
Texians, new wc are French. Perhaps
before long we will be Turks without our
knowledge.
“It isyctsaid here that an arrangement
will be made with France, but I believe
nothing of it—as it will appear that the
admiral Bumliu docs not wish to treat with
the actual administration which is devoid
of good faith and offers no guarantee for
the fulfilment,
“ The resul tof all this is that wc nre in
volved in numerous and complicated ques
tions. But if as I believe the federalist
cause gainst ground, it is to he supposed
that when once re-established every thing
will be arranged without difficulty.
Dreadful Accident. —On Monday morn
ing, about 7 o’clock,a woman named Hcyscl,
tenanting a room in a yellow frame house,
corner of Willow street, anil St. John, went
out to pay a visit and left three small chil
bren in the room, locked the door and left
the key sticking outside in the keyhole.
She had not been gone a great while, ere
a small boy in an adjoining apartment,
heard loud shriek and cries issue from her
room, and, frightened, ran to see what was
the matter; on entering the room, he dis
covered the habiliments of one of the chil
dren, a little girl about three years of age,
in a sheet of flame, and with a presence of
mind rarely met with among hoys of Ins
age, immediately endeavored to extinguish
it, which object he finally accomplished,
not until, however, his arm was seriously
burnt and the child lying as if dead, qt, tile
floor. Medical aid was immediately sum
moned, but the serious injuries that she
sustained, rentier her recovery extremely
doutful, Her limbs and a large portion of
her body and head are burnt to a hard black
crisp, and wc are informed, that should Iter
life even be saved, she will lose the sight
of both eyes—The mother of the child, in
Iter vindication of this affair, states that
when she left the room, there was no fire or
light of any kind in it. This is a most im
pi obable statement.— Ledger.
Order for $50,000 worth of Rain—The
committee of the Pennsylvania Legislature,
to whom Mr. Epscy’s application was
referred, have reported in favor of grant
ing him $25,000 should lie cause it to rain
in time of draught over a territory 0f5,000
miles, or $50,000 should he cause it to rain
in sufficient quantities to keep the Ohio
river navigable during the summer season
from Pittsburg to the Mississippi.

on the 28th, February, his negro man THOMAS,
he is ttbo”; ZH years of age, five feet 10 inches high,
“tf.'ii complected, and pleasant countenance. He is
a blacksmith by trade, and has doubtless procured
free pnpers from some person, and has gone to work
at that business either in South Cnrolinaor Georgia.
He is in all probability lurking about Savannah, as
I understand he engnged in the steamboat “Thorite.*

sattinet pantaloons, and new broadcloth coat and new
beaver hat. Any person delivering said negro to
me, or will lodge him in any safe jail so that I can
