Execution.—K man named Smith, was hung
at Jacksonville, Telfair county, Geo. on Fri
day last, for a murder committed by him some
months ago.
Fire at St. Mary*.— A correspondent wri
ting front St. Marys, 20th inst. informs us that
the roof of the store occupied by Mr. Bessont,
took fire a few evenings before, but was ex
tinguished before much damage was done.
The steamer Forester had just arrived at the
wharf, and it is presumed the fire was com
municated to the roof of the store by a spark
from her smoke stock. We believe the Fores
ter has no damper.
We regret to learn by a letter from Milledgcville,

—To His Honor,
The Mayor of Darien.
We, the und rSgmH, members of the Board of
Health, having heard that several individuals were
brought to the city last evening in a very sirkly state,
and the circumstance having created considerable ex
citeme.nl among the citizens; deem it our duty to in

fore that body the circumstances, in order that some
measures be adopted to allay the excitement, and in
quire into the disease : And also to suggest to Coun

Read, and laid on the table.
Whereupon, On motion, Resolved, That from a
statement of the Mayor, and Doct K//. Bond, the at
tending physicians, on the men brought to town from
the Schooner Roswell King, the members of coun

lageous one, ssd recommend that the citizens dis
miss their fears and unite in rendering the situation
of these three nick strangers as comfortible as possi
ble, by procuring nurses, and the necessary comforts.
On motion, further Resolved, That from this day
until the first of November next, no Pilot shall
bring any vessel to Darien, with any sick on board,
without being first boarderrd by the Health officer, &
incase of any sickness, on Board of Vessels bound

such vessels too, at three mile cut. Under the penal
ty of the laws now in force.

the votes Doctor E. H. Bond, was unanimosly elec
ted, with the usual salary.

For the Herald.
Silk.— There seems to bea wide, pervaded excite
ment on this subject. The great concern is to obtain
the mulberry. This is beginning right— sustenance
must be provided for the silk worms, before the work
can be begun—and there is no other leaf that affords
them healthy nutriment. It seems as if nature had
designed it exclusively for them. No other insects, it
is said, will feed on the mulberry leaves. Many who
commenced the growing of the morus multicaulus
three or four years ago, are now able to sell at enor
mous advances, as the demand is very great, and the
smallest slips or cuttings command handsome prices
and the demand appears every day to be increasing ;
and in all probability, it will goon increasing until
the whole country is filled with them. JVo occupa
tion promises such popularity. Silk worms may be
raised in every part of our country where the mul
berry will grow, and the mulberry flourishes wherever
it is planted. Not only will this valuable tree grow in
any ofour latitudes, when cultivated, but in many
parts it comes forth spontaneously. The silk culture
-may, therefore,’ be prosecuted in every state in the
Union, and not only in every state, but in every family
throughout our republic—and to a great extent, by
.hands whose labors contribute but little to production
-in other branches of industry. There can be no
jealousies, of course, in this occupation, as all can
participate. The true way to promote good morals,
competanee, and prosperity, is to find useful employ
meat, as far as practicable, for every member of the
community. The delicate, the weak, and the infirm
may all find employment adapted to their capacities
and their strength, in rearing this most precious in
sect. Wisdom and foresight have dictated to our
state legislatures to give a stimulus to the exertious
of our fellow citizens worthy of all praise. How is
it possible that our general government, at the very
time they ought to have lent a helping hand, should
have encouraged foreign competition, by a repeal of
duties on imported silks. The pernicious conse
quences are too palpable not to be seen and sorely
feh. The imports of silk have since increased nearly
1 threefold, which conspiring with other causes
I brought a balance against us sufficient to enable
the bank of England to stop certain American houses
locatrd in that country—-the factors of our principal
merchants, and thereby embarrass our merchants
The scene of bankruptcy and destruction that fol
lowed, is fresh in the memories of all. Thousands,
mangled and torn, are atill griling under the tortures
which that fatal measure on the part of the bank has
j produced. Let us learn wisdom by the past — learn
to rely on our own industry ami resources—adopt
the maxim of our great competitor, to buy nothing
that we can produce, until a settled course of things
has brought us to the consideration that we are in
command of means sufficient to pay for every thing
we buy of other nations, and then we shall have no
fears of the doings of the bank of England. Until
such an independence is acquired, we shall be con
tinually exposed to those fearful revolusions which
every few years pass over our land like the breath of
destruction.
The army and Navy Chronicle, in an article on
the subject of Cooper's recent Naval History of the
United States, says—“ Among the actions, of which
nomention is made, is one that occurred during the
Revolutionary war, on the eastern shore of Virginin
between a flotilla of barges, ets., filled out by the
Stale of Maryland, and a detachment of boats be
longing to the British squadron in the Chesapeake.
One of the most striking features in this action, and
such as probably never occurred in any ot her on land
or water, was that every person on both sides was
either killed or wounded—uot one escaped injury
or death.”
The editor states that helms endeavored, but as
yet without success, obtain an authentic narrative of
the action for publication.
A Railroad in Texas,— lncredible as it may seem,
a grand railroad to go from Galveston Bay to Hras
sos River, is now actually on the point of completion
ill this country, which is scarcely half a dozen years
in exiAtence, and still a wild uninhabited region.
But when we reflect tlmt fleets of steamers ami
square rigged vessels already move in Galveston
Bay and ply the rivers, we can believe any thing.
The stock of the road, we learn,is subscribed for,
and it is to run over a dead level close to flue
timber tracks, the whole distance.
WoNDEaptfL Emigration to Texas. —The porl of
Galveston tv here now a fleet of stemboats and square
rigged vessels is frequently seen, and which contains
4000 inhabitants, was a few years ago a wild, unin
terrupted prairie Lagrange, on the Colorado, laid out
six months since, has now- 300 houses. Between
Lagrange and Bass , are now thick settlements,
Six months ago, then were 8 or 10 families only.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has decided
l !mtlhe furniture of boarders placed in a tavern or
boarding-house, is not liable for the rent of the
house, when the tenant fails to p y it. The District
Court, to which the suit was lirit brought, decided
that the property washable—but the Supreme Court
reversed the decision.
‘Die oldest town in the United States, it is said?
is ,S't. Augustine, Florida, by more than forty years.
It was . founded forty fore Mirgitfia was
colonized. Some of the houses'are yet standing,
which are said tohovc been built more then three
centuries ago,.
Important Decission.- —The Circuit Court of
the United States for the Louisiana District has
decided that the late law otCengrcss concern;
ing steamboats is not applicable to boats nav
igating the Mississippi river. There arc ‘nearly
one handled and fif.j, suits to which this de
cision is applicable. The case before the Court
was that of the United States vs Captain Price,
on an information that the said Captain had
not complied with the act of Congress in pro
curing iron tiller ropes for the use of his boat.
NEW ORLEANS, June filh 1831).
Admiral Hamlin. —We understand that this
distinguished naval officer arrived at Havana
on the 90th ult, on board the frigate Nereide,
in company with the brig Curiasdier and a sloop
of war. The reception of the Admiral was,
we learn, quite enthusiastic. He landed amid
demonstrations of general rejoicing. This is
quite intelligible. The Spaniards bear the
Mexicans no love, and are delighted that the
latter have been humbled by the French for
ces.
At the last dates the steam ship Meteor was
at Havana.
In a letter of the 10th ult. from Vera Cruz,
Col. Bee speaks encouragingly as to the pros
pects of his mission to Mexico. Col. B. has
peculiar claims upon Santa Ana’s considera
tion, as it was principally owing to that gentle
man’s interference that the ex-president of
Mexico met with much indulgence, after his
capture at San Jacinto, but Santa Ana is not
the man to repay courtesies in kind. We ap
prehend that the Texian envoy will he disap
pointed in any hopes of opening a negociation
with Mexico, predicated upon Santa Ana’s
sense of obligations for favors received.
NEW ORLEANS June 9.— Latest from.
Mexico. —The schooner Creole arrived last
evening, bringing dates trom Mexico of the
35th May, Ver*t Cruz 30th, and Tampico to the
Ist instant.
Gen. Arista, at the head of (KX) infantry, ar
rived at the bar of Tampico on the 27th ult.
surprised and captured the fort at that place in
the possession of a small number of Federal
sts, and a schooner of war, formerly the Tex
ian schr. Independence. The action with the
ci (levant Independence lasted about 15 min
utes the majority of her crew having basely
deserted her. The wounded, left on board,
with two principal officers who behaved gal
lantly, fell into the hands of the Centralists,
who sustained no loss. Gen. Arista despatch
ed a brig to Vera Cruz to obtain 8 large pieces
of ordan :e and two mortars, with rmmitious of
war, &e. with which, as soon as they arrived
he intended to attack Tampico, in full confi
dence that he would be able to take it, without
losing a man. Gen. Urrea was in Tampico,
which he had fortified to the utmost of his
power. We expect interesting intelligence
by the next arrival.
Destructive Fire in Augusta. —We
learn, by a letter received by the Insurance
&. Trust Cos, of this city, that a fire broke
out at 2 o’clock yesterday morning in Au
gusta. It commenced in the kitchen of the
Planters Hotel. The Hotel, with all its
out buildings and several small buildings
adjoining, were consumed, when by great
exertions of the Fire Companies and cit
izens the progress of the flames was effec
tually checked. The Hotel was owned
and occupied by Mr. Hale, and was, we
understand, fully insured, s*Booo in the In
surance &. Trust Company ofCharleston—

AYtr Orleans, June 13, — From Mala
more*. —The arrival of the schooner Km-
Idem, from Matmnorus, whence she sailed
on the oth instant, brought up our corres
pondence from that place as late as due.
On tlie 2th May, it appears a severe battle
was fought at Monterey, between the Fed
eralists under Gen. Lemos, and the Gov
ernment troops under Cnvaliro. Accord
ing to rumor, spread by parlies inir rested in
the success of the latter, the Federalists
are stated to have been repulsed, but ol
the loss on either side no mention is made.
We have great pleasure in translating the
following extract of a letter from an officer of
high standing in the Centralist army, dated
M alainoras, June 1.
“The Tampico affair will soon be closed,
notwithstanding the steamboat. Gen.
Bustau'ente came near us, and an interview
took place at San Fernando. It is said
that both generals marched on Sunday last,
Hustnincntc for Tampico, and Cavaliro for
Monterey Mr.—arrived from the latter
place in four days, and states that on his
’paving Saltillo, Gen. Lemos made an at
tack, and, according to report, had been
repulsed, and his brother and son taken
prisoners. We have no official account,
and cannot vouch for any thing. I will
forward you some papers as sooll as I can
make a collection. Adieu”
Threatened Blockade of Mexico. —From
a gentleman recently from Houston, we
learn (hat in a few weeks the Texian
government will take measures to estab
lish a blockade along the whole Mexican
cost. M cxico is now without a single ves
sel of war,she therefore can oppose no re
sistance to the Texian squadron, which will
consist of three sloops of war and an armed
steamer. With this force an effectual
blockade can be inantained before three
ports at least—vix : Vera Cruz, Matamor
as and Tampico, which are the great doors
of commerce to that country. The general
impression is lhat a coercion of this kind
will in all probability bring the Mexicans
to their senses, and to see the expediency,
if not the absolute necessity of acknowl
edging the independence of the young Re
public. The argument when used by France
was followed by conviction. The Texians
would do well to make the* experiment—
their armament is sufficiently powerful, and
the present opportunity for humbling their
brag ‘adocia enemies should not be let
slip. °Il WOU’ld he the best retort that could
be made to their e.Tipty boast, of attempting
another invasion ofTexas.
FroU Texas—The War Hequn.—jThd In
dians are becoming troubefesome in Texas,
and daily commit murders and robberies
They are instigated by tlie Mexicans, who
have promised them largo rewards in case of
success. Exertions of this nature will be made
by hanta Ana und Bustamante to subjugate
the new Republic. The comings year will be
brought with many disasters,and the lexians
must be ready. The single slur will most as
suredly float over the castle of Matamoras,
Vera Cruzz und the city ofAloxico, in twelve
jnonlh.Froin the time the Mexicans commence
warfare against Texas.

To the Editor of the Louisianian.
Giiand (Jui.e, Miss June 1.
Dear Sir.—l hasten to inform you that yes
terday the greater portion ofthe beautiful lit
tle town of PortjGibson, about nine miles from
Grand Gulf, was destroyed by fire, which orig-’
inated by accident, about 11 o’clock A. M. The
loss property is estimated at not lesg ihuri
seven hundred thousand dollars--by some per
sons at otfe million. Most of the principal
merchants arc utterly ruined.
The courthouse was totally destroyed, and
the whole of the principal business streets is
nothing beta heap of rtniis. The houses were
principally of brick. I have just returned from
the scene. Never in my life have I been more
moved by the sight of calamity than by this.
The citizens und the strangers in (own were
in tlie greatest agilation; some of the unfortu
nate inhabitants were frantic with loss. —The
Circuit Court of Claiborne county was in ses
sion last week, but this terrible calamity lias
caused tire judge to adjourn the court, the
records and papers rescued from the burn
ing court house ocing in too much confusion
to he arranged easily for several days.
It is to be hoped the sympathies ofthe whole
country will be for the poor unhappy people
of Port Gibson.
Romance in Death. —The last Natchez
Free Trader tells the following story: —•
‘•On the 7th of the present month, Miss
Mary Ann L. Barber, aged 17, and L. B.
Young, aged 23, both of Tuscaloosa, Ala
bama, were buried in one grave, after hav
ing departed this life under the following
circumstances: Mr. Young was ardently
attached to Miss Barber, between whom and
himself those promises hud been interchang
ed which pledged them to the marriage
union at no distant day. One irr every
sentiment as well as in sympathy, they
! both, a few months since, made a profes
sion of religion at the same altar, and at the
same time. On the day of their death, they
had gone on a water excursion, with uncom
mon buoyancy and animation of spirits,
along with four others, in a skiff, which
suddenly overset and plunged them all in
the water. The lover seized the one whom,
of all others, he would save, and they both
perished!
They were found at the bottom, locked
fast in each other’s arms. With a solemn
propriety, that embrace was never broken,
and their bodies thus rest in one grave to
gether.

THE proprietors oftliis natural curiosity, respect
fully inform their friends and the travelling public
generally, that they are prepared to accommodate, all
who may favor them with a call. 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 the comfort and convenience
of visitors and travelers.
The water combines high medicinal qualities, con
taining strong impregnations of Saltpetre, Magnesia,

it unnecessary to append to this notice, a list of cer- i
tificates relative to cures effected by using the witter, j
as the doubts ofthe sceptical would not be removed, |
and those who would believe, may credit the asser

cases of violent Rheumatism have been entirely re

Individuals laboring under Dyspepsia, will expe
