DARIEN Tnrday noruini;, June IN, ISSO. Steamer Cou Jewett. —By an advertise-, inent in another column it will be perceived that this steamer will run regularly between this city and Charleston via Savannah, during the season. The weather has Ween remarkable warm during the past week, and our citizens have suffered considerable from the oppressive heat. Our city is,healthy, and it behooves the citizens to pay strict attention in keeping their yards, &r, clean during the season. The Board of Health has been organized, and will commence the duties assigned them this week. Those who do not wish to be reported w ill be govern ed accordingly. Wednesday last was the hottest day we have had this summer—at 2 o’clock, P. M , the Ther mometer, in our office stood at 90. At Do boy Island, same time, we are told, it stood at 97. In the office of the Advocate, at Brunswick, same time, it stood at 97. In the Courier office at Charleston, same time, it stood at 9-1. Our Market.— Provision, of all kinds, is very high in this city at present. During the past week there w'as not a barrel of flour to be had, and in fact, a whole barrel could not be found in the city. A small quantity arrived on Saturday in the sloop George Washington) but not sufficient to supply the demand. Meats of all kind are scarce and iir demand. Hams are 25 els. per lb. Shoulders IBJ. Corn 1.25, and but little in market. Money matters, wc are told, are so, so ; for ourself wc dont deal in the article, but often in our solitude, long for a return of the good old days of “Adam and Eve.” #___ ’ Bears. —Several young bears were taken Hear this place last week, by a negro boy, and brought to town. They are quite a good size, and one of our neighbors has two of them in his yard. They have been named after two distinguished worlhiesof the New York press. One is called Col. Webb, after him of the N. Y. j Courier, and the other after him of the N. York Herald, Gen. Bennett. The owner of those, animals intends to present them the ensuing winter to those gentlemen. In return for such a distinguished honor, we would suggest to Col Webb the propriety of sending to our ftiend C Iris “ntahog my stocked pistol,” for in all pro bability he will have no further use for it.

She is 71 ft. long and 10 ft. beam, and is intended as a canal boat. She did not use her engine on the voyage at all, but sails instead. For the Herald. Tlic Cotton Trade. No. V. Mr. Editor: It has been said, “there U a time for all things.” Wc have long regarded the work wc recommend, us one, that would be profitable to the persons immediately concerned in its con struction, ofutility to the Stale and great nation al importance, and have looked with anxiety for the proper time, when a move could be made with advantage toward its construction. We have seen the enterprise of our citizens, and the energies of our State, directed to various works of a similar nature; all of more or less importance, and although this road, had been projected several years ago, by one of our most intelligent citizens, and the public been con vinced of its great importance, we have not seen those distinctive indications, of a readi ’ j ness for action, that have recently exhibited themselves, in quarters from uhich we might expect the most efficient aid. A short extract from the report made by Mr. Williams, t > a meeting of the citizens of Columbus, on the subject of trade with the Atlantic, instead of the Gulf, will show the feeling of Columbus toward the road, between the Flint and Oc imilgcc rivers. After showing the great in convenience the merchants of Columbus, and the planters who look to her for a market, la bor under, they say : “The important inquiry, therefore, which should interest every person at all identified with Columbus, or desirous of retrieving its waning prosperity, is this : are tbi-re no means by which the difficulties now existing, may be obviated, and our City and its commercial facilities, placed upon a footing equal to those of the most favourable interior marts ? The committee flatter themselves, that there are two projects ; tile completion of either of which will accomplish the object de sired. The one by constructing a rail road from Columbus to the head of steam boat nav igation, on Flint river, at or near Findartown, and thence on what is known us Spalding’s route to the Big bend of the Ocmulgne, up to which point it is understood to be navigable for steamboats at all times. From Columbus to Findartown, the distance would not exceed 80 miles, thence to Jacksonville, on the Oc mulgcc, about 60 miles making in all about 140 miles to the Atlantic. A charter has already been obtained for a road on this latter route, which would, most probably be constructed, without the uid of capital from this section; provided wc construct a road to Findartown. In the event, however, that the road from Flint river to the Ocmulgce, should be abandoned, an advantageous connection might be made with the Brunswick road, by continuing the road from Findartown, till it intersects it in Thomas or Lowns county.” To this report the citizens of Montgomery, promptly reply ; thnt they will build a road to Columbus, ami assist to build front their to the Ocmulgce, if the Cities in the Atlantic, will interest themselves in the road from the Ocmulgce, to the Flint river. This is cncouragmcnt enough for us, to do something. We, who pride ourselves, in being located on the finest river in Georgia, posses) ing great natural advantages, for the most extensive internal and foreign trade; shall wc_ from supiueness, neglect the of fers made us by Montgomery, and Columbus. Are wc intimidated by the magnitude of the enterpise? It is for the weak, the effeminate, and ignorant, to withold their exertions, be cause they have not themselves, the full pow er to accomplish a great undertaking,by which a nation would be benefited. If we abandon the road from the Ocmulgce, to the Flint river, Columbus looks then, to a junction with the Brunswick road, in Thomas or Lowns County. Refer to your maps and see, where the track of the Brunswick road must be laid through those counties, and you will see, that the dis tance from Pindartown, to a junction with it, will be nearly, or quite, equal to the distance from Findartown to the Ocmulgce; and when she reaches the Brunswick road, she will he further from a navigable water course, limn when at Pindartown. From the West, then, we are offered aid to the utmost of their abili ty : and we shall be dull indeed, if we cannot point out, how their aid may be beneficially used, supposing their resources expended in completing the work that they will under take. Look to the East. We find that the con nection of the Flint river, with the Ocmulgce, by rail load, lias been attracting the attention of the people of Charleston: and they areaware of the great advantages that they may derive from it. when completed. And judging from tbir past conduct, we may fairly calculate upon their aid, if it becomes necessary for us to call upon them for it. We have seen is sta ted, by a writer in the Charleston Courier, and not denied, that the Georgia Rail Road Com pany, determined to build their road two inch es narrower than the Charleston and Hamburg road, and use all their efforts to prevent the construction of a bridge, across the Savannah river, foi connecting the two roads. Yet when it was decided, by the Georgia Rail Road Com pany, to extend their road from Crawfordsville to Decatur, the terminus of the .State road, they applied to Charleston foraid, add received what they needed. Now this whole road from Ross landing, to Augusta, was started, and has been prosecuted, in a spirit of hostility to Charleston, and with feelings, we fear, of envi ous rivalry, toward the Cincinnati and Charles ton rail road : a work, in which the State of South Carolina has a large stake, and in which all of her citizens are interested. These un kind fe lings towards the State of South Car olina and Charleston in particular, might have been reason enough, with a less intelligent, and magnanimous people, to have refused their aid when needed. Our road, does not come in collision with any of the projects of South Carolina; but will directly promote, one of the enterprises in which Charleston is now concerned. We have seen the last win ■ ter and MWWIg. goods shipped from Charleston directly to Macon. There is no finer rivers in the Southern States than the Alfamalia, and Ocmulgce. between Darien and Mobly’s Bluff; the eastern terminus of the read. The mind thjt moi.ntqs® that could conceive of a direct trade, between Charleston and Macon, would insure success, between Charleston and Mobly’s bluff: and the citizens of Charleston, could not invest their funds, in any work, where their capital would be better secured, and the trade of their City so much increased, in proportion to their cap ital Invested. Savannah, although directing her energies to her Central Rail Road, is not unmindful of the importance, of connecting the Ocmulgce, and Flint rivers. We have been ItiLnued, that a subscription has been raised there, for opening a common waggon road, very nonrtho route selected by Mr. Spalding, fora railroad. This act of Iter’s is stronger than professions would be. It shovves a determination, to secure a part of the valuable produce of that country and may also show, that their patience is exhausted, in waiting upon the movements ofa people, so slow and tardy as wc have been, in underta king an important work, by which we must be chiefly benefited. We know that our merchants and our bank, have in their difficulties, repeat edly applied to Savannah for aid, & always with success : and when we have used our best ef forts, to raise the means to construct our road; Savannah will not withold her aid, but join us as fellow lubourcs in accomplish ing the work, and like true Georgians, “act first and talk afterwards.” A.

Leggett Monument. —The General Com mittee of Democratic Young Men of the City of New York, passed a resolution i;: favor of erecting a monument to ihc memory of William Leggett. They also appointed a committee to address a letter of condolence to his family. The Evening Post understands thnt a collect ing of Mr. L’s writings is about to be made for the benefit of bis family.

A high degree of interest was exhibited by the gentium n present, and the energy with which they have advanced thus far, argues favorably of their ultimate success.— Georgian. Yellow Eever in Charleston.—A communication appears in the Courier of Thursday last, signed by Dr. Thos. Y. Si mons, Port Physician, which states that some cases of Yellow Fever, had appeared in the Hospital there, which originated in the ship Bunnah, ftorn Havana, and which vessel W'as brought to town contrary to the port regulations. The cases (two sailors) were improving. Dr. Simons concludes hy saying— “l feel confident in asserting that no in jury to the health of Charleston will accrue from these cases, and that our city is free from epidemic disease, and every physician of intelligence and experience will concur with me, that yellow fever never prevails in Charleston before the, end of July. I may here stale that no public officer, nor the Board of Health, would conceal the ex istence of any disease calculated to create danger to the citizens, while at the same time, they have generally been opposed to exciting useless alarm.” Trial of Dr. Dyott. —The long trial is ended, and resulted in the conviction of the defendant. The punishment of which, ac cording to statute, is from one to seven years confinement in the penitentiary. Judge Conrad delivered his charge to the jury on Halurday morning, which occupied three hours in its delivery, and is spoken of as a inasterial effort ; eloquent, impres sive and clear, combining a close, connec ted and logical arrangement of the evidence, and the points for the consideration of the jury ; who retired and were absent about 30 minutes, when they returned with a ver dict of guilty on ail the counts in the in dictment.—Sent. The public may not be aware that Dr. Dyott is now imprisoned for life, unless released by his creditors. The Court may sentence hirn at discretion, from one to seven years to the Eastern Penitentiary, on the conviction of fraud, after which he may he rcconducted to the Moyamensing Prison hy his creditors, and confined in the debtors’ appartment until they consent to his release. The public will, consequently, sec that he is now entirely at the mercy of his creditors, who, if they feel so disposed, may keep him confined up to his dying hour. He cannot apply again for the benefit of the insolvent laws; the law says that the insolvent laws have been created to benefit honest misfortune. Died, On the 3d inst. in this county, Mr. G. J.

The very short period which has intervened since their purchase, added to a scarcity of materials, has rendered it dif ficult to improve as extensively as they desired; yet they know themselves willing to devote their undivi ded attention to promote tile comfort and convenience of visitors and travelers. The water combines high medicinal qualities, con taining strong impregnations of Saltpetre, Magnesia, &c., ascertained from a partial analysis. Wc deem it unnecessary to append to this natiee, a list of cer tificates relative to cureseffected by using the water, as the doubts of the sceptical would not be removed, and those who would believe, may credit the asser tion, as such can be proved at any time. Several cases of violent Rheumatism have been entirely re lieved; also Tetter, Scaldliend, running Ulcers, &c. Ind vidunls laboring under Dyspepsia, will expe rience great relief from the use of the water. It is known to be highly efficacious in relieving all cutane ous diseases.
