DAll IB TV f ’ a- — T -” Tuesday Marnlng, July . 1N:|0. 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 25. Shoulders 18 3*4 a 20. Pork 11 n 1 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.

Fair Hope, June, 1839. ■ 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. D. J. McCord, Esq., has been appointed by the Governor to compile and digest the Stat utes of St nth Carolina, in plate of Dr. Coop- j er, deceased.

ACA RD.—The undersigned, passengers on board the brig Now Hanover,Captain Charles Carty,from .Vavannnlt to this city, cannot reconcile it to tlirir feelings to bill hint farewell, without expressing in the most public manner, their very great satisfaction as to the nautical skill, the great prudence and dis cretion exhibited by him duringth *ir whole passage, and especially hia promptness of action in the hour of sudden and unexpected danger—and at the same lime to return to hint their unqualified acknowledg ements for his kind and unrein it ted attention, nndgeti ! ilemanly deportment, extended to each ofthem to the last moment of their remaining on board with him.

Thatldeus Stevena, Whig, whose scat in the Legislature of Pennsylvania tvns .lately decided to be vacant, in consequence of his resignation last winter, (which he after wards wished to recall.) has been re-elected by a majority of 450. lie hails from Adams County. Hon. St aton Grantland, late of the Georgia Delegation in congress, was robbed a few days since, on the Camden and Amboy Railtoad, of It is pocket-book, containing S4OO in cash, nod some $15,000 or $20,000 in notes and accep | lances. There is but one voice in Florida, relative j to the lute treaty ofGencruj Macomb, and that is one of unequivocal disapprobation. The Texians are subscribing rapidly for stock in a Railroad from Galveston Bay to the j Bravos. There is to be a celebration of the 4th of July, at New Worcester, Mass. It is expec- I led that five venerable Patriots of the revolu tion will be present on the occasion, bearing arms and wearing the same, equipments they wore in -70, one of whose venerable heads lias stood the frosts one hundred winters. Col. W. 11. Johnson,of Virgrtiin, well kiffnvn as the Napoleon of the Turf,’ had SI6OO taken from his pantaloons pocket while in the of paying his fare for Philadelphia at the Agent’s Office in New-York on Saturday last. , In the other pocket he had upward of S6OOO which escaped the notice of the pick-pocket. Gen. Houston, Ex-President of Tcyas, lias been received with markedaltentionmfd warin’ hospitality in those towns of Mississippi and’ Tennessee which lie has visited. Major A. McNeill, who was recently elec ted President of the Commercial and Railroad Bank of Viekburg, is dead. Col. John Ely, a veteran of tfttr Revolution, who fought at Lexington in 1775, lias been put qt the head of a Committee of 100 to celebrate llte Fourth, in Pli ill,del! >hia. William Lyon McKenzie, the celebrated ‘Canadian Patriot,’ was to have been tried nt Canandaigua on Thursday last, upon a charge of setting on fool nn expedition against the do minies of Queen Victoria. Thirty one gen tlemen of Rochester have sent to help defray tli£ expedites of the trial. James Watson .Webb, Editor of the Couri cr and Enquirer, sailed for England in the Great Western on hcPlast trip. * Charles Spencer, the absconding cashier of the Phtcnix Bank of Litchfield, Conn., for whose apprehension a reward of S3OOO wasof fered by the hank, was arrested on the sth iust. on board of a steamboat about six miles below St. Louis on his passage from that city to New Orleans. 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 draw. The avowed object in making this change is, that Mr. Lockhart, although a pop ular man, was not a match for his Opp. com 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. N. O. Times. The Queen of England goes to Scotland but not to the Continent of Europe this summer.

On Monday, about two o’clock we Imd the, hcavist rain that came this 3osson, whiclt lusted long, nnd was ac companied by very loud thunder. On Tuesday, Wednerdny and Thursday, the same. It rained very hard also on Thursday night. Yesterday the day was fine, with a cool refreshing breeze. 7\>- xvards evening it blew very fresh from the South- West. and threatened rain at 6 p. m. Horrid Mchdkk.—We learn from the Fred icksburg Herald that an inquest was held on the 10th ins ant, on thebodyol William Rich erson, alad about 14 years old, which was found, hearing marks of violenenee, enclosed in a sack-bag, at the bottom of a mill-pond in this county. The jury returned a verdict of 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 adultereSs; —there; the thief and.the receiver otstolen goods;—there, the unblushing viola tor of tin: tippling law; exchanging with our slave population the poising and corrupting brought for the purloined hard earnings ofthe farmer; —there, the infant daughter imbibing the corrupting examples oi lier depraved moth er, or the profligate sou giving bright prom ise of a sure promotion to the gallows.” Rail. Cron. Stabbing.— Lfrst week wo recorded another murder in thl'S i utility. To day we have to announce.with shame that Mr. Hamilton Duke, a respectable and peaceable citizen o f Talbot county, was on Monday last dangerously stSb bed in Girrard, Alabama, by a man named Munroe Lynch* Mr. Duke was sitting quietly upon his horse, and molesting no one, when Ihe unprovoked and shameful attack was made upon him. He is, we are happy to say, rcceP ving every attention and kindness at the hands of our citizens. * * f Columbus EiwuHirer. \ Thaobdy.—A youug actor of some •prom ise named Lowe, formerly of Schenectady In this State, was almost instantly killed on the stage of the theatre at Loui viile, on the even ing ofthe 3th itist.

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 lished before ajur; . Had the jury rendered 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 in consideration thereof he wholly remitted, and the judgment of the Court stand recorded, “Imprisonment in the Penitentiary for one year.” The prisoner was then remanded, and ihe Court adjourned.— Courier.
