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. For the Herald. •St. Marys, March 20th, IKI9. 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. For the Herald. 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. S. S. N. Ceylon, Camden Cos. For the Herald. 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. LIBERTY COUNTY. The Army and Navy Chronicle of the 21st tilt, says:—“Major General.Macombe will leave Washington this day to take the chief direction of affairs in Florida. His stay there will depend upon circumstances which cannot he known until after his arrival in the Tcrrito- ry. Gen. Taylor will remain on duty in Flori da. ’ * 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 20 feat and is still lull, though falling.— Tel. Tallahassee, March 20. 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. From the N. 0. Bulletin, March 20. 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.
