Mb. Editor : Iu the Charleston Mercury, of the 27th April, the editor notice* a map on the subject of the direct trade. The citizens of Mclntosh County, and to every other county bordering on the Aiatamaha and Oeamulgce rivers should take a decided and active interest in the work described in that map. By the junction of the Ocarnulgee with the Flint river, a highway would be opened over which near one half the cotton grown in the United States, might be brought to our wharves. The present state and condition of our town has been created, and is supported, by the 120,000 bales of cotton, that touch here on their way to other cities, possessing ro greater material advantages for tirade than exists here. If the enterprise of our merchants, is to be confined to the for warding and commission business, and the re tailing of merchandise, the successful execu tion ofKhe plan drawn on the map spoken of by the Mercury, would greatly increase their business: But should they aspire to be more extensively useful in their calling, to become the agents of a great and growing people in ex changing their products for the products of foreign countries, what a field for their talents and enterprise would be open to them. There arc works now completed and under construc tion that connects the St. Joseph’s with Albany on the Flint river. Other works are in a state of forwardness that will connect the Tennessee ;md Alabama rivers with Columbus. The pro duce of the countries to be affected by these improvements would seek the mouth of our river as the shortest and cheapest outlet to the Atlantic if we are t rue to ou rsel ves. The ch icf link iu connecting the Gulf of Mexico, and the Tennessee river with the Aiatamaha, not yet provided for, is a rail read from the big bend of the Ocarnulgee to the Flint river. A survey of a route for a rail road to connect those rivers, j lias bccu completed at the private expense of our worthy fellow citizen Thomas Sjiahliug, Ksft., show ing less difficulties to be overcome ‘ and greater facilities for building a road, than are usimlly met with. We perceive by the Mercury, that while we have been slumbering over our interests content with the wages of j hired servants, others have been aroused by the contemplation of tho wealth w hich should : be ours; and unless active and persevering es-! forts are made by ourselves, the very glean- : ings now left by the wav side, on which our fitly chiefly subsists, will be taken from us. — The “Sam Jones” is now demonstrating the ■ possibility of shipping goods direct from \ Charleston to Macon. If we suffer others to furnish the capital and perform the labour ‘ which should be ours, will they look with spe- j rial attention to our interests 1 This is not said with a desire to produce bos- j tile feelings toward Charleston. The disparity j of wealth and power between ns forbids tho itleaof rivalry. Charleston would much pro- , for to aid and assist us to build the road, than I build it herself. I believe, we have the means j fully in our power to construct the road. I would suggest, that our Hank, if properly con- j nected w ith tho work would alford efficient aid, and insure its success, if individual enter- ‘ prise should prove insufficient. We hope the j M crcury, will give ua further information con- j corning that map, and the interest taken in it > by the citizens of Charleston, and elsewhere. | Since writing the above, J have seen the Charleston Courier of the 29th April, and am glad to find that that valuable paper is ulso call ing public attention to the same subject. It has entered more into detail, and the facts it has stated, show the immense commercial wealth that could be brought to our wharves. We hope the editor of the Courier, will give more of his attention to that subject, and aid in arous ing us from our lethargy. A. 11. For the Herald. Mr. Editor: In the last number of the ü ßrunswick Ad vocate” I find an editorial in relation to the appointment of Capt. La whence*, as “Pilot for the liar and Harbour of Brunswick.” The Editor, it would seem, is deeply inte rested in the finances of our city, and would regret that the City Council should act so un wisely as to make an appointment, which in his estimation, is of so little importance at this season of the year, to the interest of the city. He seems to think that the majority erf Coun cil had no right,during the absence of the ac tive and intelligent mayor,to act at all, where by, he, like Capt. Lawrence, will have nothing to do, but to receive his neat little salary of two hundred per annum, as Council, and the worthy Mayor, while absent on other business, should be pocketing one Hundred ft 1 month! Oh, Mr. Editor, this wont do, you must not torture us, or we will tels tales out of school. I truly appreciate the deep and abiding inte rest which the Editor of the Advocate, mani fests in the affairs of our city, but cannot dis cover the motive which could prompt him to object to an appointment, above all others the most important and essential to the interest of a sea port town. I doubt not, that the Editor is entirely sincere in this matter, and would de rive “more pleasure to see our City Council making arrangements to pay off the debts of the city already created, than to learn of their mak ing new ones, by appointing any individual to office, with a large salary, who can for the coming five months have no services to per form.” But, may I ask the Editor, who will earn his money? Capt. Lawrence, the Mayor, or the Clerk of the Council? The former buf fiting the billows night after night, subjected to all kinds,of weather and hardships, the others once in six or seven weeks, conversing around a table from ten to fifteen minutes? I feel truly pleased, Mr. Editorof the Heraid, that the appointment of Capt. Lawrence, as Pilot for the Bar and Harbor of Brunswick is made. This gentleman is a native Georgian, and better deserves the post than any other man, and sincerely believe that this appoint ment has given general satisfaction to theeiti zens of Brunswick and had they a voice would confirm the act by acclamation. A SOUTHERNER. BRYAN CO. SUPERIOR COURT—April Term. At this term, the only cas'i of importance was the State vs. John Burnside, and Jacob Lee. Indict ment—Murder.

A day or two previous of his sailing from Fort Dallas, a party of about 20 soldiers were gent out under command of a sergeant, to cut steam boat wood. After the sentinels were posted and the men commenced their work, one of them to alarm his companions, gave a mimic Indian yell, at the lop of his voice, when suddenly rose up in full view, almost W'ithin gun shot, a body of about 50 Indians. Thu sergeant promptly formed his men, and com menced a pursuit joined by Lieut Rdgclbs, who on hearing the alarm, left ordors, for the remainder of his company to follow. The In dians moved off leisurely, preserving their dis tance, running when the soldiers run, and walked. Finding pursuit unavailing, the de tachment returned. It is supposed the Indians contemplated surrounding the working party by surprise, when the accidental whoop of the soldier cau sed them to be discovered. There is no later news front the high con tracting parties Major Gen. Macomb and Ham Junes; but as their is strong presurrttive evi dence that the Indians are generally oat ®f ammunition. Sam will probably not exact too hard conditions. Man’s greatest blessing is an amiable and de voted wife; and woman’s greatest misery Is an ugly drunken husband. HJOK XI QQU N?TCJT HEKA6J), From the National Intelligencer. KomiBHY at thk Bank or tub Mktropolis. —Our attention was painfully attracted by reading in tho Globe of Wednesday afternoon, the folio win,: “We umlmtaud that Ah. Urine, a Teller in the Bank of the Metropolis, took $50,000 Trout the hank. The suspicions-of the Cashier being awakened by appearumes, he counted die money, and discovering the deficit, charged the Teller, who con tensed every thing, and pointed to the person who had it in pos session, Mi Got drich, u clerk in one of tho Deport ments. Mr. G. was arrested and the money recap tured The circumstances of this robbery, which was the general and almost exclusive subject of conveisation in this city during lust Wednesday, were, as far us we have been enabled to collect them from the most authentic sources to which we had access as follows : Mr. PeanisG. Ormc, n Ti ller in the Bank of tho Metropolis, very respectably connected, and inherit ing a handsome patrimony, having not been in at tendance at the hank at the usual hour last Tuesday morning, and from his conduct on the previous day in absenting himself for some time from the counter, and appearing during the morning to he slightly in ebriate u, suspicion was excited in the mind of Mr. George Thomas, the cashier, that all was not right, and his teller’s account being compared with the cash on hand, it was quickly discovered that there was a deficit of not less a sum than fifty thousand dollars. Immediately on this discovery being made, it was communicated by the i at shier to Gen. Van Ness, the President of the Bank and the Directors. The form tr, ‘.hough indisposed, went to the house of Mr. Urine (who was said !*.’ be sick in bed) and obtained an interview, in which, after stutlv* to Ah. Orme tho deficit in his cash, the President used every argument he could think of to induce Aft*. Orme to account for the deficit, ami to say what had become of the money. But all in vain, Mr. Orme persisted in denying what had becomeof.it. After this interview, Mr. Orme accompanied Gen. Van Ness to the Bank, and was again closely inter rogated by the President and gome of the Directors, when he still persisted in denying all knowledge of the deficit, and of the way in which the money had been disposed of; until the Marshal of the District of Columbia being introduced, and process having been served for the amount of the deficit, the defaulting clerk made a confession that he had taken the fifty thousand dollars and given it to .Mr. A. VV. Good rich, a clerk in the War Department. This confes sion was made rather late on Tuesday evening. It was then thought advisable to arrest Mr. Goodrich, and he was soon afterwards discovered by the Depu ty Marshal nt a Refectory, and conducted to the di rectors’ room, where in the presence of Mv. Urine, on being told by Gen. Van Ness that he had the $50,000 given to him by Air. Orme, and the latter having con firmed this statement, he (Goodrich) admitted that he hud the money, and taking a large roll of hank notes out of his rout pocket, gave them up, saying, ‘‘there is the money.” Having obtained the money, it was counted by the Cashier, who found that it amounted to the sum of forty nine thousand eight hundred dol lars—two hundred dollars only being deficient.— After some little conversation between the President of the Bank and Mr. Ormc and Mr. Goodrich, in or der to obtuiu the 2(H) dollars still deficient, the Presi dent agreed, at the request of Mr. Goodrich,that the Bank would dismiss all further proceedings for the recovery of the money, Mr. Orme and Mr. Good rich were allowed to depart. On M ednesday, however, about noon, nn affidavit having been made before Justice Thompson, war rants were issued in the name of the United States against Dennis G. Orme, and A. W. Goodrich charging the former with feloniously taking and car rying away the sum of $50,000, the property of the llank of the Metropolis, and the lutter with receiving that sum of money knowing it to have been stolen. Both warrants were placed in the hands of H. B. Robertson, who, in n slant time, arrested Goodrich • Dennis G. Orrno could not be found. After a long;omi patient investigation ofthe charge against A. YV. Goodrich, in tho presence of the Pre sident of I lie bank and th Cashier, who were wit- for the United Slates, (llilt District Attorney being also present, nnd .Mr. I. FI Bradley, being counsel for Me. A. \V. Goodrich,) llie magistrate re quired the accusi and to give bail in the sum of fip'J,<KK) Jor Ids appearance at tne next Criminal Court for the county of Washington | which bail having been given about ten o’clock at night, Me. Goodrich was iflicbargcd, after beingunder examination about five hours. It is only just to mid, that Mv. Goodrich, in the de f nos, dmied thnt & hud received or obtained the money .with any criminal intention; lliat, finding (Iran l in a frolic, and crazy, as he. could be proved to be, when under the influence of liquor, he Imd merely kept the money until Ormc gotout of Ins frolic ; and that he was prevented from returning the money to ilie bank (which lie sincerely regretted, ) through tle tear that he might do Orme some injury with Ills em ployers, and in hope that he would speedily get right again. Goodrich also said he had searched for Orme during the day in Ins usual haunts, but could noi find him. Two or three witnesses were called, who te.stified that Dennis G. Orme, when intoxicated, was “almost crazy,” and excited in a most unusual and extraordi nary manner. One of them swore he saw him on .Monday night, somewhat intoxicated, with a large roll of bank notes carelessly in his hut, and acting very strangely at the time. Since writing the preceding notice, (which we have detailed more than usual, as well to gratify intense public curiosity as to correct erroneous representa tions of the cose,) we understand from good authority that Mr. Dennis G. Orme intends to surrender to the civil power, nnd give bail for his appearance to answer the charge against him. Gubernatorial Convention.—John M. Horicn, Joseph W. Jackson. G. H. La mar, Win. ]’. White and R. W. Flournoy, Esqs. have hecn appointed by (he “ Htate Rights Party of Chatham County” Dele gates to the Con veution in May to nominate a Candidate for Governor. Texas.— Major John M. Alien, has been e leetcd Mayor of Galveston. The New York Gazette states that this gentleman is some what distinguished ; he was formerly a mid siiipmai’. in the United States Navy,and when the war broke out in Greece, be left the ser vice and repaired to London, and in company with Lord Byron and other individuals, em barked for Greece and entered their marine as a Captain was in the battle of Navarino and at the fall of Missolonglii. After the war he travelled over Europe, and returned to this country in 1833. In 1835 he raised a compa ny of men in New Orleans and accompanied them to Texas, and was engaged in the battle of .S'ari Jacmeo as Aid to General Houston.— Shortly after the battle he visited New Orleans purchased a small schooner, called her the Terrible, and with a crew of 10 men he cruis ed in the Gulf of Mexico and laid under contri bution all the small towns on the coast, und captured a number of valuable prizes. The following is copied from a silp of the Norfolk Herald, dated “Saturday—4 I*. M.” Fatal Duel —A meeting took piace on Friday last, in Norfolk county, near the North Carolina line,, between J. Seaweli Jones, Esq. of New York, to settle by the barbarous appeal to the duel, a point of honor, which had origi nated between them a short time before, at Pe tersburg. They fought; with pistols, at six paces. At the first fire, Mr. Wilson was shot through the body and died on the spot. His bail grazed his adversary’s temple. This fatal event is the more to be lamented from the cir cumstance that the parties had iong known and esteemed each other, and up to the mo irient of their duel had reciprocated the most friendly and respectful sentiments.—This is evidence by the survivor, in the hitter agony of his feelings and the avowal of his high appreci ation of the worth and character of the decea sed. Both, however, were under the infatua tion which chains the votaries of false honor to its bloody code, and deemed their quarrel irreeoncileable by any other course than that which involves a violation of the laws of God and man! How long will reasoningmac per mit himself to be the victim of this accursed Moloch. The Easton Times says, a chorister lately pitch ed a tuna so high that the choir had to adjourn to the beifry to reach it. Hi markable Suicide. —Henry S.

There are no better prevension.s of suicide than industrious steady employment, moderation of conduct, moral and temperate life. Intelligence from the interior of Mexico states that Santa Anna received s2oo,ooofront the merchants of Mexico for signing the trea ty.—This sum, joined with the threats of Ad miral Hamlin to act with ugor, and the decla ration of the inhabitants of Vera Cruz to pluee themselves under the protection of France and of the federalists of Mexico, in ease the treaty should not he ratified, induced Mr. Santa Anna to sign. Female Intrepidity.— -During the fire on Saturday night last, the occupants of one of the buildings in llose Alley, in tho city of Al bany, in the hustle and confusion of saving their little children from the devouring element, and after being driven out by the flames, dis covered, that one of (heir children, a hoy about 1 years oh!, remained yet asleep in the upper part of the house—(lie mother, after hearing of the situation of her child, rushed through the flames and seized her sleeping boy—and no sooner had she gained the object for which she was ;v!*ling to risk her life, than It was discov ered that mi mcflvs of escape Were cut off, save that of leaping from ill” second story window with her child, which without a !!'- incut’s hesitation was done, without any mate rial injury to herself or child.

Chittenden’s dwelling— “can you inform me whether his honor the Governor of Vermont resided here ?” “lie does,” was the response ofthe man, still wending his way to the pig sty. “Is his honor at home?” continued the man of the spurs. “Most certainly,” replied the man of the frock. “Take my horse by the bit then, ” said the officer ; “J have business to transact with your master.” Without a second bidding, the man done as requested, and the officer alighted and made his way up to the door ami gave the pannel several hearty taps with the butt of Ilia whip—for licit known, in those days of Republican simplicity, knockers and bells like servants, were in but little use. The good dame of the house answered tRe summons in person ; and having seated the officer and ascertained his desire to see the Governor, departed to inform her husband of the guest’s arrival, but on ascertaining that the officer had made a Inching post of husband, she immediately returned and informed him that the Governor was enga ged in the yard, and could not well wait upon his honor and his horse at tho same time.
