who had instructed their friends not to allow
their names to be voted for in the Convention.

he had previously expressed, publicly with

DARIEN—ITS HEALTH AND IMPROVE
MENT.
Wc perceive by our exchange papers that
the health of our neighbouring cities are being
puffed as usual at Ibis season of the year, all
desiring the summer travellers to prefer their
city in preference to others. This leaving
home to seek a healthier spot, is one of the
greatest humbugs of the present day—always
excepting Brandrcth’t or Peters’ pills.
Wc have heretofore not alluded to the health
tis our city, for it isonlv in seasons of sickness
that our thoughts recur to this subject. But it
isa fact well worthy of remark, that since the
first of January not a single death has occur
red, and no persons are sick within its limits.
This speaks volumes in favor of the health and
prosperity of our ti wn, and is an evidence, if
she past six months are a criterion to judge by,
that our citizens arc destined to live forever.
Our city, notwithstanding the scarcity of
money, presents a cheering aspect. In almost
■every quarter niarksof enterprise and improve
ment ate visible. In a ramble through our
streets we arc constantly attracted by new
buildings being erected, or old ones remodel
ed. Perhaps there is no building which has
undergone repair that looks better than the
Mansion House, kept by W. W. Churchill.—
The enlargement and improvements reflect
much credit on his enterprise and industry.
Its pleasant location and its spacious dimen
sions. makes it an object of pleasing admira
tion. Our citizens arc beginning to appreciate
the appearance of our town —and truly are wc
pleased to see it. for we have residing among
us several worthy ornamental painters, whose
industrious habits richly merit the employ
ment of their brush. Stores, too, have multi
plied within the past year—and the elegance
of fixtures and tasteful display of goods are
every where visible, and cannot fail to draw
the attention and patronage of customers. Our
wharves, at most times, assume n lively and
■cheerful appear rice. The steamer bells mer
ry peal ever an 1 anon falls pleasantly upon
the ear—and the frequent roar of steam tells
-of their arrival and departure. And then the
musical yo, heave, yo, of the hardy sailor, fills
the air with the sound of cheerful labor.
Our city is active and flourishing, and at no
period gave greater indications of enterprise
and improvement. The wealth, enterprise,
and industry of our citizens arc in mofon —the
result must be sweeesa and advancement.
Dielumo.—Duelling had it* origin in the
ancient mode otf deciding causes by ‘■battle?
wherein each party chose his champion who
Ifcught for their principals, and the event of
nhe cause depended on the result of the con
test. This form of trial, as w ell ns tb't by
“ordeal,” existed in the early ages the world,
and as progressed which enlighi
tncd < ilic minds of the people to discern the im
propriety of those modes of adjnsting contro
versies, gradually grew into disrepute and ul
timately was whoHy abolished. Lpon this
ancient fabric is founded the science of duel
ling as it now exists. The advocates of duel
ling profess to be actuated and governed by a
laic of honor, and the only redress provided
for the breach of that law, is, death by single
combat; wherein whilst he is seeking the
prescribed redress, he exposes his own person,
his own dear self to the shot of his adversary,
and it is this exposure which tests a man’s coui
age, without which he is supposed destitute of
honor.
Courage is a moral principal implanted
within the human breast which enables us to
encounter dangers, to overcome difficulties,
and to bear up against the misfortunes of life
without repining.
Is the mere act of exposing a man’s own
life for the gratification of deep rooted re
viage. an infallible test es courage 7 If so,
-- e very murderer is brave. The duellist will
say “if I refuse to fight I will be branded as a
coward,” and for lack of tree cocbaoe he
sinks under the reproach.
Wantonly shedding human blood is forbid
den by the lawsef God, and duelling is prohib
ited under severe penalties by the laws of
Georgia and most other States.
Doe? not honor dittate the observance of
those laws to which as members of a civilized
society we owe all our privileges 7 If a vio
lation of laws prescribed by a legislature duly
constituted, be inconsistent with the low of
honor, by what course of reasoning can any
individual possessed of the merest particle of
honor, justify the taking of human life for an
offence which those laws have deemed un
worthy of notice. There is infinitely more
courage required to stein the current of public
reproach, when by on net at variance with pop’
ularopinion an individual has become obnox
ious to it. Yet a man conscious of the recti
tude ofhis conduct, having a conscience at case
with itself, going forth into the world, encoun
tering the hisses of the populace, the contempt
of the high born, and the affected scorn of
thccoxcomb, may look within, and if he there
secs nothing to upbraid him, will disregard
their hisses, their contempt, and their scorn,
and pursue a straight forward undcviaiing
course.

Tlu* Cotton Trade. No. 111.
Mr. F.uitor:
We have seen, that when our road shall be com
pleted, wc will lie able to transport the produce of our
fellow citizens south and west of us, to a market, at
a saving of 32 14 per cent on the expenses of trans
portation by the present course oflradc; A asavingof
time, not less important to those engaged in business.
We w ilt next look to the advantage that the stockhold
ers will derive from the construction of the road. To do
this, wc will assume four hundred thousnnd bales, ns
the quantity to be transported, from the point of junc
tion with the road to Columbus, and one hundred
thousnnd, from its Southward termination on the
Flint river. Then 400,000 bales of cotton, at CO cts.
per bale, will be equal to $240,000, and 100,000, at 80
cts. will be equal to 980,000. equal to ft 3-20.000. The
return freight of merchandise, will be equal to the
freight of produce. Thus without the profits from
passengers, there would be a gross income of $640,
000, an income abundantly sufficient, to cover nil the
expenses the company would incur, ns public car
riers, to keep in perfect order their road, their cars,
and their engines ; to meet any other incidental ex
pense, aid pay a large dividend on their investment.
But there are other considerations of greater impor
tance to the citizens of this county, than the mere in
come, upon their investment, which should urge j
them, to become large stockholders in this road.
From October 1836, to April 1837, about 110,000 boles
of cotton were landed on our wharves. Within the
same time, $400,000 were paid in Darien ns freight,
the wages of labour, and other expenses immediately I
connected with the transportation of cotton to Darien;
and our merchants at the same time, sold more than
$300,000 worth of goods, chiefly to persons immedi
ately connected with the cotton business. Since that
time to the present, the amount of sales of our retail
merchants, have increased or diminished, with the
increase or deminution of the disbursements made in
Darien, on account of the cotton coming down our
river Hence it is evident, that the commerce of our
city, exists upon the cotton landed upon our wharves;
and her future prosperity and increase, will be in
proporlon to the number of bales that will be annual- 1
ly landed in our city. From here to the point on the
Ocmulgee, w here the road will terminate, there is a
fine hold river, and the obstructions that are occasion
ally met with, can readily be removed or easily over
come. There can no longer be a doubt in the minds
of any, who do not, “listen with credulity to the whis
pers of Fancy,” that with means properly direct
ed, an uninterrupted navigation may he had at all
limes, from Savannah and Charleston to the ter
minus of the road on the Ocmulgee. Let these things
be accomplished without onr efficient aid and assis
tance, and a single agent of the company will he
sufficient to transact all the business of Darien, and
the selfish, narrow minded policy,that would cause us
to withhold onr contributions to their accomplish
ment, will meet with a severe, but just punishment,
in the entire loss of that business, that engages all
our thoughts, energies, and resources.
Wc are located at the mouth of the finest river in
Georgia. Os the 304,000 bules of cotton grown in
this State in 1837, two thirds of it could reach the
Atlantic by the way of Darien, with lets expense
and labor to the grower, thnn by any other river.
And us the counties West of the Ocamulgce become
settled, there will be an increased quantity of cotton
grown in ihe State, thatmd*’ look to the Alatamaha
as its natural outlet. The Dobjy Par over which
its waters pass to the ocean, is distinctly marked,
easy of access, with sufficient depth of water for the
largest class of merchant ships ; and its harbor suf
ficient to accommodate any number of vessels that
tae commerce of the State might require. These are
the natural advantages our city possesses for com
merce—and it is a duty we owe to ourselves and the
State, fully to develope them ; which hitherto we
have wholly failed to perform ; and I fear tlvc best
apology that can be offered in our behalf, is apathy
and neglect. By some strange fatality, the very fu
vorsthat have been granted us by the State, Ims been
so managed, as to form the strongest arguments in
the mouths of ouf adversaries, against our future
growth and prosperity. The appropriations that
have been made, for improving the navigation of
our river, have been expended without producing
any material benefit. Our Bank, in whichthe State
became, and still continues a large stockholder, has
been so managed, that after reducing its original ca
pital nearly one third, it was thought advisable, be
sides the branches at Macon and MtlledgeviHe, to
send a portion of its capital to Savannah and Au
gusta, cities possessing large monied institutions,
well conducted, furnishing a medium of exchange
sufficient to supply the wants of their citizens, and
possessing a value they estimated higher than the
bills furnished by our bank. Wc have been asked,
and tauntingly asked, If your city is so favorably
situated for trade, why did your bank retain in Da
rien so small a portion of her capital, where she had
no rival? Had you no citizens of sufficient mind and
energy to deal profitably in the produce landed upon
your wharves 7 Or did your bank consider them
unworthy of her confidence?
The errors of the past, if rightly improved, may
be made land marks for our future guidance. The
time has come, when we must act with union and
energy, or yield forever the advantages we have so
often declared possessed by Darien for extensive
commerce, or submit to the humiliation of acknowl
edging our incapacity to profit by them.

Suicide in Prison. —Two of the Bragonza
pirate* committed suicide in the City Prison
New York. One Joseph Ver Ilniggcn, who
i was convicted with, and awaiting sentence for
the murder of Capt. A. F. Turley, was found
dead in his cell, having hung himself with a
part of his blanket, which he had torn up and
twisted into the form of a rope for that pur
pose.
The other, James Davy*, an English hoy,
about 10 years of age, who was arrested on
charge of the piracy, but who had been per
mitted to testify outlie trial of the others, was
found lying in his cell with his throat cut, and
the arteries of both his arms severed. He
survived but about 15 minutes.
The Coroner held an inquest on the bodies,
and the jury rendered in both eases a verdict
of “Death by Suicide.”
An Accomplished Swindler. —The Governor
of Virginia has offered a reward for Alexander
Bogart, who has committed sundry forgeries in
Richmond to a considerable amount lie is
supposed to be an adept in the forgery line,
and to be the same individual, who under the
name of McLeod, defrauded his employers in
New York of some $90,000 0r540,000, and
under the same name forged notes to a large
amount.
Union Bank or Florida.— The Mobile Com
mercial Register of the 24th instant, says:—
“ We are gratified to he able to state that this
institution is redeeming its issues by sight
checks on New York, at 2 per cent. The in
formation may be relied upon, for we have
been shown this morning a check for n large,
amount remitted to a house in this city, for the
redemption of the notes of the Bank in their
hands. Wc understand that the paper of this
Bank has been sold at great sacrificos. It need
not be done any longer. The Bank has com
pleted the negotiation of a loan for a million
and a half of dollars in Europe, which enables
il to redeem its paper on these favorable terms
to its creditors.”
Appointment by the President.
John C. Nieoll to bo Judge of the United
Stales for the District of Georpire in place of
Jeremiah Cttyler, deceased.
The appointtnent of the lion. John C. Nieoll,
ns Judge of the Supreme Uourt oftheU. Slates,
for the District of Georgia, has given much
satisfaction. Asa jurist he has no superior in
this State, and his attainments are of the very
first order. In accepting the appointment,
Judge Nieoll undoubtedly makes a great
pecuniary sacrifice, as his professional income
far exceeded the emoluments of that office.
We have ever thought our high legal func
tionaries received too small an equivalent for
their services; and that the Judges of our own
Superior Courts, arc not sufficiently compen
sated.

Methodist Conference in New Jersey.
This body closed its session day before yes
terday, having been logclhersince Wednesday
of lasi week. The subject of Manning Force’s
running for Congress, last year, was brought
up. The Rev. gentleman frankly declared,
with expressions ofhis sincere regret, that he
should not have accepted the nomination, had
he been aware, at the time, that a rule existed
discountenancing such conduct.
A resolution passed, the last morning, declar
ing that any clergyman who should hereafter
become a candidate for the legislature or Con
gress, would receive the. general disapprobation
of the conference. Mr. Force voted for this
resolution. We take pleasure in saying that
Mr. F’s deportment throughout these procee
dings was worthy of a Christian.

be held at Burlington, and commence on the

The Victory of the Chilian army confirmed.
We havebeen politely (nrrf” {) y a "highly
respectable Commercial House with the follow
ing late and important letter, which has been
received via Jamaica. It will be seen that the
recent . jportof the Victory of the Chilian army
over that of the Protector, is confirmed. Lima
has, before this, fallen.
Lima, January 22, 1839.
The army of the Confederation, commanded
by the Protector in person, was entirely des
troyed by the Chili Peruvian army at Tungay
on the 20th inst. The Protector and several
of the Provincial officers arrived at Limaon the
241 h inst., and have since gone to the South.
We expect the Chilians daily, their advance
guard having been for two days within fifteen
leagues of the city. No opposition will be
made to their entrance.
The castles of Cailao have a garrison of
about 1000 men, and are being hastily provis -
ioned for a siege. Most of the foreign merch
ants (ourselves amongst the number) are em
barking as many of their goods now at Callao
as they can before the castles are invested.
We consider the destruction of the Federal
army at Tungay (for it is complete) asa death
blow to the confederation, and hope it tray
lead to a general pacification of the States,
comprising it and a peace with Chili. Its im
mediate effects will be to remove the Seat of
War from North Peru. For the castles of
Callao are the only fort which can be held by
the Protector, and they will probably be reduc
ed in a few weeks. In a few days we shall
probably be able to judge of the probable re
sult of this decisive and unexpected defeat of
the Protectorial army.
It is a curious fact, that in the address of Sir
Francis Head to the people of England, on his
mission to Canada, a paragraph directed
against W. L. Mackenzie, the Canadian refu
gee, is stolen, from Mr. Prentice of the
Louisville Journal, and was intended by him
for a political adversary who had awakened its
wrath ! It is not enrious, however, that the
paragraph stolen is the most piquant and point
cd in the whole address.— Balt. Pat.
