At a inerting hclil on the 9th ins! at the Court Houae in this city, for ill’ purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of constructing a Rail Road from the Ocmulgeo to the Flint River, the fol lowing resolution was passed : Resolved, That a committee of ten ho appointed to notify the citiz’ ns of this and tlte adjoining coun ties, that an adjourned meeting will be held at the Court House in this city, on Tuesday the 23d ittst. at 11 o’clock, and to request th ir attendance. JCJ” VVith this number, the Herald corn plt'tes the firsthalf year of its existence. Il is an epoch in out rditotial life, t id would be a favourable opportunity to review the past, and say very many pretty things relative to the prosperity of the paper and the increase of its patronage. But this we will de r for a future occasion, only remarking that we have encountered much difficulty, sev ere labor, and considerable expense, in the undertaking. The approbation and encourage inenlwithwhich our labours have been crowned, has cheered us on, amid the cares and perplexity of an edi torial life. Onrsnbscription li-t is respectable, and if the friends of the paper, would but make an effort, it could be doubled with little exer tion. In soliejting an enlargement of our sub scription list, we offer the community a paper which will bear comparison in typographical appearance with any sheet printed in the Southern country; leaving the community 10 judge of our merits and our untiring endeav ors to give them a sheet worthy of patronage. We hate lo din —and if there is any thing unpleasant and grading to our feelings, il is to be d inned! We will therefore take the liber ty to say lo our patrons, that we should be most happy, if those who have not paid their subscriptions, would do so. The atn'ount to each individual is small, but in tM aggre gate is considerable, and quite an object lo us. We will next week present bills to those who are indebted to the office for ad vertising and job work, and hope they will be promptly paid. wilt be foutii the a ) tress delivered by Mr. Hey wood, before the Temperance Stalely of this County, on the 4lh inst. It will be read, no doubt, with interest, and at a production reflects much credit upon its author. ‘Die Temperance Societies of our country have wrought a wonderful revolution in society, and the great cause in which they are engaged Kcems to flourish in ail sections of the Union.

Throwing Pennies n* the Prrsid n! —Th- New York Transcript says : We art sorry to barn thut while the procession.waspasaing up Chatham street, a number of idle boys—encouraged by some vaga bond “children of greater growth,” threw pennies and other missiles at the President, which,fortunately,did no other mischief than to cause his Excellency's char ger (which he managed with nil the tael of unaccom plished equestrian) to prance and rear, to the great disconfiture nnd inconvenience of some of his less sKilful and courageous comrad s. (Jen. JOHN FLOYD. This distinguished citizen of Georgia, died at his residence, ff .-llevi.ie, Camden County, on tin* 2oih ultimo. Gen Floyd was in his (SBth year; anJ his life is a portion of the his tory of his native State For iter, he had all the enthusiasm of the fondest attachment; and in the support of her principles and institutions, the"cbivairic devotion of a worthy son. Asa gcntlem in, his manners was marked by the mo-,t polished breeding, and exhibited a beauti ful model of sterling character, chastened by a refined knowledge of the courtesies of life. With the dignity of the most polished manner, he blended the suavity of heartfelt sociability, and his intercourse with his friends was as free from the frigid coldness of a false gentility ‘, as the patronising air and condescension of an equally erroneous estimate of true dignity. Asa Legislator, he was distinguished for the clearness of his comprehension, and the moral firmness of his conduct. It is, however, as the citizen soldier, that he stands in bold relief from the common herd of his fellow-men. Autassee will carry to the remembrance of the Indian a painful feeling; and the defence of Fort Defiance , when attacked by the enemy under cover of the night, will long live in the recollection of the participators of that event, as one of the most gallant firmness, and to them fatal results. His services are a portion of the history of his State, and wherever his fame is found upon her record, it is connected with dauntless energy and chivalric fidelity. He leaves a large family, distinguished as scholars and gentlemen, preserving all the heroic and zealous peculiarities of their parent; and up on whose memory they will look as a pure model and bright heritage. His indignation ; wast-enkindled at a knowledge of the barbar- I ities of this Seminole war. and had he not have ! been disabled by a wound received years ago j in the defence of hiscountry, we ’ ere inform- j ed by the General, that be would have deem- 1 ed it his duty to ‘ come to the rescue.” Geor- j gia is justly proud ofiicr Floyd3-— andamong ! the many distinguished living men of her Stale! ! she eau point to Gen. Charles Floyd as one upon whom the mantle ofthe father lias fallen, i and one equally characterised by a lofty patri- ! otisrn and chivalric bearing. For the lfcrakl. Mm.

And yet with all his knowledge, and indus try how few editors in the United States make more than a bare living—how many die poor, —anil how vmta number fail in business, after having devoted years to the laborious pur suit of editing papers. And why Is it tints? Reader, lot one who has had years of experi ence in the business tell you: It is Incause the, public do not properly appreciate the worth of newspapers. Because there are too many patrons who take papers, and never pay for them!

As it has been expected that a Convention would be hoiden iri the autumn of this year composed of Delegates from the several States, I have hitherto thought proper not to anticipate, in any way, the result of that Convention. But I am now out of the country, not to return, probably, much ear lier than the period fixed for the meeting ol the Convention, and do not know ivhat events may occur in the mean time, which, if I were at home, might demand immediate attention front me. I desire, moreover, to act no part which may tend to prevent a cordial and effective union among those whose object, is to maintain unimpaired: the Constitution of the Country, and to up hold all its great interests, by a wise, pru dent and patriotic administration of the Government. These consideration have induced me to withdraw my name cs a candidate for the office of President at the next elec tion. DANIEL WEBSTER. London, June 12, 1839. Reception of the President at New York. —The sight of onr immense turn out Tuesday, was one upon which a tyrant might look, and stir up his wrath. There were the rich and the poor coaches, carts, horses and footmen, arranged heller skelter on each side of Broadway fora long dist aucca*’ntl all in friendliness and good na ture. No police men were on the ground; every citizen tcok care of his own conduct. So well behaved were “the mob,” that they were careful not to press forward so as to close up the avenue, although there were no soldiers employed to defend the lines. The Chief Magistrate of thp nation was pressed upon by his fcliow citizens when the procession halted, without the least! feur ‘.Fat he would be -Assassinated or dir honored. In tbe crowd were his political fi idols am) enemies, both alike respectful to ihe Chief Magistrate whom the maj irity listl chosen. The whole scene was calcu lated ;o excite the highest hopes for a gov ernment of the people, and lo make one feel that however bad the people or some of them may lie, th?v arc, after all, im measurably more worthy und respectable than the 1., ui ui'E'"iis and Popes who Inve tilled und ruined the w old.

Melancholy Accidents.—ln addition to the usual minor accidents usually attend ant upon tile celebration of the anniversary of American Independence, there were two of more than ordinary extent yesterday, the particulars of which, as far as wo have been able to ascertain them, will be found below. Loss ok Life on II A.KLEM Rail Road.— About 10 o’clock, yesterday morning, one of the jgttfOmotivcg ofthe Harlem Rail Road CompiWK which had been brought into the dty as far street, ran off the track, opposite Union Park. As the superintendent ofthe road and several others were endeav oring to replace. it, the boiler hurst, and two persons were killed, and several wound ed. The names of the persons killed were William Spencer, an Engineer ofthe com pany arid George Johnson, a passenger. A person named RobertMathcrson was al so severely injured by the explosion. The coroner held an inquest upon the bodies, and the jury returned a verdict that the deceased were accidentally killed by the bursting of the boiler ofthe locomotive. We have been furnished with the follow ing official statement of the a/lom* by the rail road company. In relation to the accident on the Harlem rail road, the following arc authentic par ticulars : Ist The locomotive engine was in charge of Mr. Spencer, one the oldest and most experienced engineers in the country, who has been employed on the Long Island and other rail roads, as engineer, many years, and is thorughly ac piainted with the use of the locomotive engine. 2. The locomotive had brought up a train of cars from Harlem for the city, which train was taken by the horses to the City Hall and Walker-street: and, after they had gone forward, the locomotive was cros sing the switch to prepare to receive the return line of cars, so that it was quite alone, and wholly disconnected with the cars at the time they ran off the track. 3d. As soon as the locomotive was off the track, Mr. Whigham, the superintendant of the company, set immediately at work to replace it upon the track. During this time, the engineer was upon the engine, and constantly blowing off the steam. It had been stationary for about twenty minutes, while the men were at work to replace it, the superintendant giving repeated instruc tions to the engineer to take care of his steam, and he was answered bv Mr. Spen cer that he was doing so ; and he was con stantly blowing of the steam. At this time the train of cars was approaching the spot from the city, as also the train from Harlem, and when the engine blew up, both trains were in sight; hut fortunately so far distant as to escape any injury. 4th. At the instant it blew up, Mr, Whig ham arid one of the collectors of the com- ; panv were stooping down to place a stone 1 under the frame, so as to get a lever by j which to raise the engine about an inch higher, to get the wheels upon the track, | and they both escaped with very slight in-! jury, as the whole blew over their heads,‘ while it killed Mr. Spencer, the engineer, and his *.on-in-!.nv—-the only two persons who were killed on the spot. Eire others were scveielv wounded by the fragments, and one of the collectors of the company scalped from head to foot. The ficriit by the corporation for the )o eemntive to come into the city, is at 14th i street It is only on the gala day of the Fourth July, that the engine comes below 32d street, the horses of the company on that day being insufficient to accommodate the public, and it whs solely to grant the j greatest facility to the public, that the lo coiuotivc was brought to IC-iF street. {ooMMVtrtcvm>.| At RidgfviUu, nMir this citv, on tbs IHhinftt.of consumption, AIH 4F\VISS.
