jAYtXEN HSR AW, TnrMluy Morning, May 91,15J0. State Rights Convention.—The proceed ings of the State Rights Party, assembled for the purpose of nominating a candidate for (Gov ernor, will be found in another column. Judge Dougharty having received over two thirds of the votes in Convention, was declared to be the candidate of the party. Several gen tlemen were ballotted for, who hud previously determined not to accept a nomination, and who had instructed their friends not to allow their names to be voted for in the Convention. Col. Lamar declined a nomination, and Col. Dawson, who was a member of the Convent ion, in accordance with a determination which he had previously expressed, publicly with drew his name from the consideration of the Convention be fort the balloting commenced. The delegates from several counties were in structed by their constituents to vote for par ticular individuals, which they accordingly did.—The vote was as follows: Ist ballot. sd. Hou.

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. fLy-Wehave been politely furnished with a copy of the Address delivered at the Unitarian Church, in the city of Savannah, on the Festi val of St. John, the Evangelist, bv Dr. R. 1). Arnold, and will notice it in a future number ofour paper. Il3”W'c will publish the proceedings of the Union Party, held at Millcdgeville on the 16th inst. in our next. They were handed to us too late for to-day’s paper. For the Herald. 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. vmm SGasmastt 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. Timet in Mittissippi. —According to a statement in the Gallatin Star, the sheriff of Copiah has executions to the amount of $250,- 000, lobe made at May Court. Death of Dr. Cooper. —This veteran of liter ature and science, has, at length, sunk under the infirmities of age. After lingering for two or three months, in daily expectation of breath ing his last, he died, at Columbia, early on the morning of the 1 ltlt inst.,-in the 80th year of his age.— Charleston Courier.

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. The Rev. Charles Pitman is stationed in this city for the next year. The next annual conference for this state will be held at Burlington, and commence on the 15th of April. 1844 J. New York, May 10. 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. PASSENGERS Per Steamer .I Stone, Capt AfrniUll, from Savan nah. Messrs. T.
