June 25, ISJ9. ■->"""■’ ~~— i Quarantine Law. —lt will be seen, on ro jerenceto the Proceedings of Council, insert ed in this days’* paper, that the Quarantine Regulations for the port of Darien, goes into operation from the 31st iust. until Ist Novem ber next. 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, received in this city yesterday, I **ys the Augtttta Seminal of the 10th inst.) that Gov. Gilmer lies dan gerously ill. The Florida war is in fujl blast again. How i •could it be oth-rwise 1 General Macomb had no right to stop the system of making fortunes by cheat ing the government in contracts for beef, &c. The Board of Health of Charleston, report twelve hundred nuisances in that city. PROCEEDINGS OF COUNCIL Darjgn, June 23d. 1839. At an Extra meeting of Council;’ he’d this day at the Cort House. Present his Honor, Charles West, Mayor. Aldermen, Samuel Palmer,, ” 11 Isaac .Snow, ” ” Gegrge J Rogers, ” ’’ James Blue, ” ” Alexander McCarty. His Jfonor the Mayor, in a v*y appropriate man ner, stated the object of willing the BoJTrd together, J and laid before them the foliating communication: D rniEN,%une 28d. 1839. —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 form you of the fact, and request you to call a meet ing of Council as early as practicable, and lay be 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 cil the propriety of enforcing the Quarantine Laws Resp-ctfully, Your Obt. Servants, H. S. BELL. S M, STREET. 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 cil are folly convinced, that the disease is not a con 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 to this place, it shall be the duty of the Pilot to bring such vessels too, at three mile cut. Under the penal ty of the laws now in force. Council then proceeded to the election of a Health Officer, for the Port of Darien, and on counting out the votes Doctor E. H. Bond, was unanimosly elec ted, with the usual salary. CHARLES WEST, Mayor. J. E. TOWNSEND, Clerk. 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— balance in other offices—the amount not known.— Charleston Mercury, tilth inst. WWM wt.azw&Q&m 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. - tV 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.
