Sal, of property belonging to the United j
States. —By reference to our advertising col
umns, It <¥ be aeen that a largg sale of horses,
&<* &c. belonging to the U. S, will com
mence at Garoy’s Ferry, on the Bth of July.
Thestcamer Forester, I’apt. Drake, isadver
tisel! toieave this city for Florida, in season to
reach lhat place previous to the commence* |
ment of the sale. Persons in this vicinity
wishing to attend will be enabled to do so by j
thi# arrangement, at a trifling cxpence, and
very little loss of time.
Tut. Heii.tii of tub City.— Some little alarm
was created in the city last week in consequence of!
three individuals having been brought to the city
lrom the schooner Roswell King, labouring under a
high stage of btlous lever. Two of the young men
died and the third has recovered, and was taken on
board the sehr. on Thursday last. These coses ol’
fever coming as they did from abroad, and the ves
sel having lately been at Charleston, where it isnd
> milled the yeHow fever is prevailing, induced many
individuals to believe that the crew of the schooner
were attacked with that fever, notwithstanding the
physicians who were in attendance, and.who ad
a Imit .re skilful and talented, assured the public
that there was no cause of alarm ; and even if they
werediselaed with that complaint, the purity of our
atmosphere and the precautions which were taken, ]
would be a prcvmtji-ivr against its spreading—still j
the alnrm went forth that the yellow f ver had broke
O'tt in Darien, anti it spread like w ild fire.
We are happy to state that confidence in me
htuhliuf the city is again restored, and that not a
case of fiver of any description at present exists
within its limits. During the past w,i, kwe have
been blessed with srverul refreshing showers. They
have puiified'attd refreshed the air. The shower on j
Thursday evening was very heavy, and a large
quantity of mitt fell. The thunder was the heaviest
vve ever heard, ami the lightning vivid and beautiful. \
These showers we hope will revive the drooping
crqps, which in all parts es Lite country have suffered
rr.u h from the drought.

Oi.'R Market. — Prices continue the same, and in
hime instances are higher than Inst weJtt Flour
sells at &9.50. fl f lOiiJil ‘d per lb. Hams 20a

51,25. At this moment prices nominally average
twenty per cent higher dsn those which woti’d in- 1
dirate a natural state of the market. The surest
index of a return to commercial health will be n gen
eral la?l in the prices W:f provision : and this we fear
v. ill not he the ease until our banks do something to
relieve the community. It is a crying shame, that ;
in a. country like ours, provision should be sohigln*
The cause is plain. The fanner has neglected sh
cultivate the soil, and caught the mania of (pecula
tion. The plough Btt the h Trow have been laid
ttsid", and the Jotuequenec is that we are upon the
eve of a failin' 1 . W ■ have too many gentlemen ltu- 1
firs in the country, who wish t > live wit bout work,
to be supported b V tlt-ir wit s or relatives, ors iriy
d-pend upon tli” accommodations of their friends.
These things must undergo a change., or time* ill
be worse before they tire better.
THE REDUCTION CONVENTION.
The amendments proposed to th; people of ottr
Suite by the lute Reduction Convention give to each
county on. Representative without regard to the
number of ns inhabitants—counties with 0(MK) in
habitants two Representatives, and countiei with
12.000 inhabitants three Representatives. Under
this arrangement there will be 53 counties with one’
Representative each—3o with two and four with
three Representatives, in all 137 Representatives.
Tito Senate is to be form’ and of one Senator for each
of 46 Districts, consisting oft wo counties each. We
believe the doings of the Convention have given gen
eral dissatisfaction throughout the State, and from
the sentiments expressed through the press, are in
clined to believe the amendments proposed will be
rejected by a large majority. In this county we
feel confident there will be a majority against any
alteration of the constitution, particularly such as
proposed by the convention. The Slate Rights’ par
ty complain lhat the Union party having a bare ma
jority in the convention, have so classified the coun
ties, that should the amendments be ratified by the
people, it would give to the Union party aperma- J
nerit majority in the legislature.
We have seen no good reasons advanced why the
number of representatives of the legislature should be
reduced. If economy is desired, why not reduce
the salary of the memlters 1 And would tt not be
far better for the state, if the members would attend
more to business—leave polities alone, cut short their
long speeches, and as soon as they have their busi
ness transacted, adjourn. There is at
all, for the legislature of this state to sit eight and
ten weeks. The whole of the business incumbent
upon the legislature could be done, in the hands of
business men, in a month. But then the people
must elect men of business habits, and permit our
political trimmers to remain at home, who to say the
least of Aem, are like the daughter ofthe horse leach,
and send forth a continual cry of “give, give.”
It is said that ,4/iss Ellen Tree has expend
ed at oue store in New York, for but three of
her stage dresses, between five and six thou
sandUftllars. Calling in at Adriance’s fashion
ably store one day; some fabricks were exhib
ited to her of surpassing richness and texture,
and so very costly, as to be very rare in this
country. With a liberality and rccklessnes of
expense for which she is distinguished, she
immediately drew a cheque for the amount
demanded, and a few evenings afterwards she
appeared in a magnificent attire that made her,
independant of her charms as an actress, the
‘•'observed of all observers.”
U is said that Mr. Calhoun has contributed
SSOOO, to establish an administration and anti
abolition paper in Netv York. It is to be cal
led the United Slates Sentinel and National
Union ;” the first number will appear early
nexf month, .f large amount has been sub
scribed.

For the Herald.
Mn. Editor:
lit the May number of the Southern Agricultural
ist, is a communication on the “ Advantages to
Charleston, and South Cardfitta, to he derived from
the Direct Trade ; with reflections on the Rail Road
and Canal Comtnumemions of the South.” The
author -mines, that the “natural course of trade,
is. the shortest, and cheapest possible line of recipro
cal indebtedness and that however trade tnny be
forced into artificial, channels, it will return to its
natural course, when it shall be. distinctly marked,
and shown to the producer and consumer : That the
ni/mufaclurcra o£J3tirope, arc the chief consumers of
the produce of tl#Cotton grower j and that the cot
ton grower, is a consumer of the produce of
manufacturer. He then proceeds to the
present course of our cotton trnde ufJitroed and un
natural’ uud points out the direction it should take.
We have now prepared the reader for the
discussion which weprtflhised on the subject
of Direct Trade. U must be “premised, that
in Charleston it is boldly asserted that this
trade is now in an uimutural channel, passing
us it does through New York, and that the
South cun, with ease, divert it. The dispu
tants were n cotton merchant of eminence, and
an engineer, w hom it st ems is now engaged
on the construction of the rail-road from the
Ociiiulgce to the Flint River, a charter for
which was granted by lit,; State of Georgia to
Thomas Spalding, Esq., for a term of ninety
nine years.
The merchant after listening for sortie time
to an account of the character of the work—
the time it would requirer to build it, and the
objects to which it was to be applied, asked if
the engineer was certain the cotton item in the
business of the road was not exaggerated, for
it appears that the crops of middle Alabama,
of Florida, and of West Georgia, were all lo be
transported to the steam-boats of the Atlantic,
at the great bend ofthe Ocmulgee River, a
point sonic four days run from Charleston.
The engineer said no. The rules of trade
were fixed, and all based upon this simple
principle— the shortest and cheapest possible
line of reciprocal indebtedness. The grower
of cotton in the county of Montgomery, Ala
bama, sets his crop for the worker of cotton in
Europe—it must pass though the hands of the
manufacturer before he can dispose of it, even
to his nearest neighbour. It is reasonable then
to suppose that he knows the shortest and
cheapest route to Great Brittain ; he actually
employs me added the engineer, for the pur
pose of obtaining this information for him. If
you will take your map you will find that Mont
gomery is some 200 miles from the A tlantic; the
road from Montgomery terminating at the Oc
mulgee River. A cotton factor in Charesston
writes my planter in Montgomery county to
hold his crop .n store to his order ; of course,
aiding Ins necessities by a fair advance on his
years labor. The planter does this, and when
our factor has “cleared the store” of some
more importunate cotton grower, on goes the
order, arid in seven daysthe cropisin Charles
ton, and the whole transaction here ends.
The objection that this course would interfere
with the factors of the Gulf, is well answered by
allowing, that fro n Montgomery and Columbus, to
the Ocamulgce and thence to an atlantic seaport, is
the shortest, the cheapest, and most direct rout, by
which the grower cun send his cotton to the consu
sumer, or the merchant receive his goods; and that
the quantity of cotton, the capital and enterprise of j
Charleston, couid concentrate upon her wharves by j
this rout, would ire most efficient means, for drawing :
to tile same point, the manufactories of Europe ; to
be distributed from thence, among the citizens of the
South and South Western States.
We do not intend to arialize the communication,
and pass upon its merits. We have no hesitation in
saying, that the author, has not only shown himself j
an of high standing, but also well versed
in the principles of Political Economy, as applicable
to trade. Our object is to call the attention of our !
citizens, to the value sat by others, upon the work ;
airerdy recommended through the columns of the
Herald, and aiso to point out an article, well-worthy
their attention and study. BERNARD.

Robert Dale Owen, Esq., is announced as
the Adm. candidate for Congress in the Ist.
District in Indiana—formerly represented by
Ihe Hon Ratcliff Boone, in the place of James
Lockhart, Esq. who has been induced to with

change is, that Mr. Lockhart, although a pop

petitor upon the stump; Mr. Owen on the oth
er hand is regarded as one of the most able
men in the State, and has been for several
years a distinguished member of the Legisla
ture from Posey Cos.
There are strong indications of trouble in the
commercial world. A large flour House re
cently failed in New York City—one of the
great monopolizing Millers in the western part
of New York has jti.-t gone by the hoard—the
Herald says there is a prospect that flour will
soon he down to $4 01) to $4 50, which will
place the speculators in flour in a worse condi
tion, than the speculators in Cotton. We’ll
let them issue a Circular —the Bank of Eng
land has no doubt something to do with it.
This flour speculation, by the way, is a beau
tiful illustration of the benefits that would flow
from adopting Mr. Nourn’s recommendation
to the planters, to hold back the next crop of
Cotton. The flour speculators bought up all
the wheal at great prices, int nding to starve
the public into repaying them by still greater.
The speculators have now one crop on baud
and the people have another—Millers fail—
Banks are scorched—Merchants suspend—
Stocks fall—trouble and panic vibrates in wi
der and still wider circles, threatening a gene
ral revulsion in trade, and all for holding hack
a crop.
Singular Cihcu.mstance.—A gentleman just
returned from over the Lake, states that one of
his friends, whilehunting. had the misfortune
to catch a severe cold, which settled in his face,
and prevented his shaving for several days.
Asa remedy for the cold, some tea was pre
pared made from the leaves and seeds com
bined of the “Moms Multice. “’’—the gentle
man awoke next morning with a mulberry on
every hairof his beard—several worms among
liis whiskers, and silk night-cap which the lit
tle rascals hud made during the night. The
gentleman bad been offered $>3,000 to stand in
his neigbb t’s yard as a “mulberry grower.”
The offer has not been accepted; he says, he
intends sfaying at home to make give
mulberry parties to the young girls in the
summer. If he really does commence the
silk ’ usiness we’ll send him a gallon of Moit
onguhela to assist him in reeling.

in a sack-bag, at the bottom of a mill-pond in

murder against two individuals, (one of whom
is ihe mother of the boy) committed on or a-
Itout tho 19th ultimo. The parlies charged
with llu: deed are in prison. A correspondent
ofthe Herald gives n most frightful picture of
the neighborhood where this murder occurred.
He says:
“There, you will find brother living in inces
tuous concubinage with his sister ; the sister
with her brother ;-*-the avowed adulterer and

of Gent ■rjfl Sessions was opened at 3 o’clock
on Monday at Net*. York, for the special pur
posed passing sentence upon Septimus lltm
teflpbhe quack doctor, who was on Saturday
found guilty ofrnansluughterjji the 4th degree,
in having through liis ♦rimmal ignorance ot
liis assumed profession, l caused the death of
Mrs. Justine Cozzms.
, Mr. Merritt, couse] for the prisoner,
appeured and briefly addressed the Court in liis
behalf.
The prisoner, on being naked the usual
question previous to sentence being pronounc
ed hy the Court, replied:—“There is a duty
which I owe to the Court, to myself, and to
my God, which is to declare that lam whol
ly innocent of the heinous and murderous
charges on which I have been convicted.”
The Recoider in addressing liie prisoner,
remarked that a clearer case of gross and crim
inal ignorance had probably never been estab

ari unqualified viniiet of “guilty of rnanslaughr
ter in the 4th degree,” the Court would bavi
felt it their duty to inflict the f vilest permit;
of the law, which would be two years in the
State Prison and a fine of JjiltXX). The jury
having accompanied their verdict by a recom
mendation to mercy, must however operate in
mitigation of punishment, and the line would
