Rill. Ro*d MsrriNa.—On Tuesday lest the citi
zens of this county met at the Court House, in ‘his i
city, to take into consideration the propriety of con
structing a Rail Road from the Ocmulgee to the Flint
River. Dr James Troup was appointed President
The Committee appointed at a previous meeting
made a report, which was unanimously adopted, and
ordered to be published in pamphlet form. A high
ly interesting letter was read from Gen. Brisbane,
and a considerable quantity of stock taken. The
work wc understand will lie commenced about the
first of November next, and it is believed willbc com
pleted in two years.
Reduction —The public are in possession of the
labors of the Convention—they can appreciate those
labors only by considering tire difficulties that had
to be surmounted from the diversity of opinions en
tertained by many—t*e prejudices of some, and the
conflicting interests resulting from party organisa
tion, in all If the labors of the Convention should
be crowned with success, and the amendments of the
Constitution, thus formed, be ratified by the people,
it will derive its success to the implicit obedience of
the People’s Representatives, in adhering to the pro
visions of the law and carrying th-se provisions
into c’ff et. That law prescribed 111- modi by which
Reduction should take place ; and though the classi
fication of the different counties are exceptionable,
because influenced top much by party intrigue, for
party triumph, yet themed action being in conformi
ty to the act of the legislature calling a Convention ;
and that act sanctioned by the people, so far as the
appointment of delegates inrplies sanction, that
should the amendments be rejected the strange ano
m oly wouid be presented of the people disapproving
that which they had sanctioned, and rejecting that
which they had approved.
But we will not permit ourselves to believe that the
people will not ratify the proceedings of the Convert- |
tion. It is obviously too much their interest to do it. j
They will not permit such an > pportunily forredu
citig the expenses of government to pass by, for they
must be aware, if the present amendment of the Con
stitution is not carried out, years will elapse before
another Convention can be called, and in the interim
all the evils of the present system will increase with
the increase of representatio t, and the expense in
cident thereto. In our next we will endeavor to point
out the motives for Ratification.
The Lumber Burin ess.— lf our neighbour
of the Brunswick Advocate had stated that the j
schooner Dtusilla left here in consequence of
not being able to procure a cargo of lumber of .
a particular description, we should not have
penned the paragraph in our last. But he said
she came to Darien for a cargo oflumber. and
not being able to procure it, returned to Bruns- j
wick. Ai this we took exception.
Darien is so well known abroad as a lumber ■
mart, that we have heretofore said but jiltle j
upon the subject, knowing that those who want
to purchase good lumber will always come to j
this market for the article. There arc at pre- j
sent in the immediate vicinity of this city up-’
wards of two millions of feet of different di- j
inensiotis, and of a quality that lias never been ;
surpassed. The tieo>gia Lumber Company, j
at Lumber City,have also two millions of feet
oil hand, and such arc the facilities of those
mills for sawing logs, that cargoes can be fur- j
nished at very short notice. Near this city
are threeSlcam Mills: The Doboy Mills —The .
Lower Steam Mills, and the Upper Steam Mills.
Each of the above named Mills drive from 4 to
40 saws, and each mill pioduces from 10 to
20.000 feet per day. The Mills at Lumber city,
owned by the Georgia Lumber Company, have
eleven saw gates running, and cut 50.(100 feet
per day. Besides these Mdls, Mr. Brown is
at present engaged ia building another Mill on j
Doboy Island, which wi 1 be in full operation
early in the fall. The demand for lumber at
this port last winter was so great, that the Mills
although in constant operation, could not sup-’
ply the demand. This will however not be
the case this fall. Different arrangements have ,
been made, and we feel confindent that vessels
can be supplied hereafter without any delay.
The Lumber Business has given anew impulse
to the commerce of Darien. The hundreds of
sails which yearly arrive here for this article
give assurance, that Darien will in a few years
be the principal lumber mart in the southern
country. And when our Bail Road, which
will be commenced in November next, is com
pleted, she will be, what nature intended her,
the great emporium of the south.
The whole or one hail of the establishment of the
Brunswick Advocate is offered for sale. If only
one half is sold, a person competent to take charge of
its editorial columns would be preferred for a pur
chaser.
The above paragraph we copy from the Bruns
wick Advocate of the 27th inst. Wc regret to learn
thatour neighbor is disposed to retire from a station
which he bus filled for a longtime with credit to him
self and honor to the city which has given him sup
port. His pa’ier has a fine circulation, and the gen
tlemanly manner in which it always has been con
ducted has won for it a fame of which he may well
be proud. We hope he has been well rewarded for
his.toil —if not, Brunswick and its friends have done
him injustice.
Gen. Seward’s democratic speech at the Sunday
School Celebration in New York, is the true doctrine.
The National Gazette well remarks that he explains
in what manner the distinctions k social life are to be
lessened. Not by dragging down the high, or by
robbing the opulent; but by elevating the law and
enriching the poor, and this, by means of mental en
lightenment and the cultivation of industrious habits.
He explicitly declares that inequalities in the social
world are to be removed, if at all, by extending the
benefits of education to all. This is the only true mode
of levelling, for which the intel'igertt and the virt nous
have always contended.
For the Herald.
Mr. Editor:
Allow me through your useful paper to on*
qttier of the voters of Mclntosh County, why
there is so much apathy in getting up a ticket
forour next Legislature. We have intelligence,
and patriotism enough umong us, if we choose
to call them into requisition, and I think we
have not required them more for years pnst,
than wo do at the present time. Tills appears
to be rather an epoch with us. Our Bank will re
quite the strong aid of its friends, and our con
templated enterprise in uniting the Altamahaw
and Flint Rivers by Rail Road ; with other
matters important but more loeal in their char
acter, through interesting things tous. I would
as a citizen, that is interested in the prosperity
of our city and County, bug to suggest our
useful and intelligent citizen Dr. Troup, as
worthy in every way, and capable of repre
senting us respectfully in the Senate, and hope,
and believe, he would have no objectii n to re
ceive our votes, at the next election for that
office. It would at all events be worthy our
i efforts to obtain him.
Our present incumbent, Col. Hopkins, would
I hope, accept of a re-election to his present
seat. His promise of future usefulness is flat
tering, and his publick services, I believe have
given general satisfaction. A VOTER
The editor of the Little Genius has just returned
from an expedition into the country —lie has been try
ing to kiss the quakeresses or some such vegetable,
and on his return says among otherthings, “My fame
has gone abroad to the four winds of Heaven, like
the suspension of specie payments.” No doubt, and
we imagine his fame is based on the samcprinciple —
leant of capital.
A serious accident occurred on the New Jersey
Railroad on the 16th inst. It appears thut in the
morning two Irishmen, both intoxicated, were reel
ing along the track inquest of work, when they were
told to moveoffor they would be run over. They
did not mind what was said, and in attempting to
jump upon a dirt car, fell between the cars and directly
across the track. Hugh Murphy was run over,
which so mangled his leg that lie was obliged to
undergo immediate amputation. None of those
attached to the railroad or waterworks are to blame.
Gov. Seward, of New- York has declined giving
up a fugitive felon, on the demand of the Governorof
Upper Canada, on the ground that the right of sur
real t in such rases is among the rights ceded by
tile States of this Union to the General Government,
remarking that the aliowane.e of State jurisdiction in
such cases might be a fruitful source of difficulty
w-ith foreign nations, inasmuch asa refusal to comply
with ajust requisition would be h sufficient cause of
war.
The Sea Serpent.— The hotel at Nahnnt is now
ready for the reception of visiters. At least we infer
as much from the fart that a Boston paper announces
the reappearance of the sen serpent. “Two respect
able men” declare solemnly that they saw him on
the morning of the. 4th, between Chelsea and Nahnnt.
The Richmond Compiler, of the 15lh inst., snys
that letters have been received there announcing the
death of Mr. Leiqii, son of Benj. Watkins Leioii,
of Virginia, on the 29th June. His death was caus
ed by a wound received in a duel fought in Missis
sippi, some time since.
Gene.ral Scott was at Chicago last Saturday. He
was on hi s way To Fort Winnebago to quell the trou

quieted them ere this.
The ship Mary [lowland, arrived at New York
from Liverpool, has brought ten Durham cows and
one bull, said to be the handsomest animals and
purest blood ever imported. They belong to the Hon.
llknby Cray.
A. S. Willinglon . Erq., senior Editor of the
Charleston Courier, we are happy to learn, on the
authority of that paper, has recovered from the seri
ous illness with which he was seized at Malta, and
had arrived at Rome, on his return to America, in
good health.
(treat Rale.- —We learn from the Baltimore Ame
rican, that a gentleman of that city who has a field of
fifteen acr is filled with a crop of flourishing mar us
muUicaulis, lias sold the crop during the present
w*'ek for thtf sum of thirty-two thousand', five hundred
dollars.
A Fact. —Last year an English barque, bound to
this port from Wales, says the Wilmington(N. C.)
Chronicle, laden with Rail road iron, went into the
Delaware, and anchored off’ Wilmington, (Del.) —the
captain having, in consulting his chart, had his eye
arr sled by that Wilmington, and not knowing of the
existance of any other. The mistake was not dis
covered until the captain inquired in the town for his
consignee.
Aiimiru, Bal'Din lius left Pensacola fur France with
his fleet The cause ofthis sudden and unexpected
movement issome trouble between the Admiral and
Commodore Shubrick, arising from the supposed
want of professional courtesy on the part of Admiral
Baudin. Commandant Mclntosh, ofthc Yard, ex
; changed civilities and a national salute with the
French squadron, on its departure.
Debasing. —lt is in agitation by the government to
debase the silver coin of the country, so as to make
the exportation of it an unprofitable business. The
Secretary of the Treasury is an ad vocale for adulterat
ing it to the extent of half its value, so as effectually
to secure the object sought. Like measures were ta
; ken in respect to the national gold coin, some years
! since.
Wonderful. —Edward Walpole, the keeper of a
* faro bank in Mobile, was prosecuted a short time
since, for violating the statute against gambling, and,
wonderful to relate, was fined SIOOO for the offence.
C. B. Churchill for murdering George Churchward,
in the aamcplace, wasonly convicted of manslaugh
ter and fined 8200! Verily, Justice in Alabama thou

Mr. Clay —The same paper says: Wc
expected to see Mr. Clay here on Monday,
as we heard that he was on his way from
Cincinnati to this city. He, however, di
rected his rout to Logan county, wheie he
has some business to transact. From there
: he will shortly proceed to Niagara Fulls
\ and Canida.
[Mr. Clay arrived at Buffalo on Saturday
morning, and at 9 o’clock proceeded to the

LATE FROM FLORIDA.
More Indian Murdkrh.—By the polite
ness of a friend, we have been favored with
the perusal of u letter received from a gen
tleman residing in Tallahassee, dated Sun
day morning, I till inst., which states that
groat excitement prevailed at that place in
consequence of the Indians having attuckod
and murdered several families in that vicin
ity the night previous, and fired their dwel
lings. The writer states that the conflagra
tion was seen from Tallahassee, and that
the city, although Sunday was in arms. A
draft, it was confidently expected, would
take place, in a few days—a large number
of the troops having been removed from
the territory in consequence of the treaty
recently entered into by (ten. Macomb,
This is ceasing hostilities with a vengeance.
Indeed there have been quite as many bloody
allroeities committed by the Indians since the
“talk” held with Gen. M. as was ever known
to have taken place during the same length of
time previously.
We ltope our Government will profit by
past experience, and lose no time in having
these merciless savages exterminated, as it is
evident they will not be bound by any treaty;
unapcaceble relations can never exist in Flor
ida while a remnant of them arc allowed to
remain in the territory.
By the same letter wc are happy to learn
that two of the Stages intended to form a
line between Brunswick and the Chuttaho
ache, till the rail road is completed, had ar
rived at Tallahassee, and that two or three
more were daily expected. The writer
adds they are built in magnificent style.
Another. —Capt. Bailey ofihe steamer
Ivanhoe, arrived at this port from Black
Creek yesterday morning, informs us that
just before he left, a report reached there
that a white man had been murdered by the
Indians near Fort Mellon. Particulars not
known.
YVc also learned from Capt. Bailey, that he
had on hoard his boat, a young man by tile
name of Charles Hartman, seaman on board
the U. S. Cutler Crawford, who accidently fell
from the maintop of that vessel in St. Marys,
on the 25th inst. by which accident he Undone
of his legs broken above the knee, and recei
ved oilier bodily injury, from which he was
not expected to survive. He was on his way
to Savannah, to he placed in the hospital there.
Hartman was a native of Bremen

fCJ-The following most surprising intelli
gence will astonish ourrenders:—
[ Correspondence of the Charleston Courier, j
Washington, July 18. 1839.
After a protracted silence —post longo inter
ratio—l resume my pen logtve you the sub
stance of a report which lias for some days ag
itated our usually stoical community. A deep
mys'.ery’has hitherto involved the lute of the
Hornet , which was supposed to huve foun
dered, years ago, in a gale; and every circum
stance, however improbable, which related 10
her position, when last seen, has been ferreted
out and narrated, witii a degree of minuteness
which evinced tire deep feeling which, to this
day, exists in relation to her fate. Anew and
startling light lias been suddenly cast upon (lie
mystery, by art offer of an individual to exhib
it proofs that litis ill-fated vessel outlived the
gale, in which it was believed t hut site perish
ed, and met hcrdesti uetiim from enemies more
cruel than the elements. The nume of the in
dividual it would be obviously improper to
ptiblis i until his story shall huve assumed a
and authentic form, and tiie tes
timony, by which it is to be established, shall
have been obtained. The amount of the dis
closure here made is that, after pussing thro’
the gale, in safety her magazine was fired by
conspirators, bribed to'effect this diabolical
purpose by the head of a foreign government,!
and th at 4JO brave men were thus instantane- j
ously hurried into eternity, in a moment of en-1
tire self-security, and while the interchange of
congratulations for their preservation from the
prey of wind und wave wus ycl unfinished.
He who voluntarily comes forward to make
this disclosure states that he was not himself
present at the catastrophe; but that a friend
w<ts there; und for ibis friend lie requires
pardon in the establishment of the truth of his
statement. He also asks for a pecuniary re
ward for himself. The evidence on which he
proposes to establish the facts is the production
of the ship’s log-book up to the moment of the
catastrophe, and also of the private letters of
tiie officers, with other testimony of a corrobo
rative character. The subject is now before
the Navy Board, and has led to frequent and
long deliberation. But they will not be able
to come to any conclusion as to the conditions
required by the informent. Indeed they have
no authority vested in them to make stipula
tions of a pecuniary nature. It is said that
the President has been written to on the sub
ject, and that the ulterior proceedings in the
case will depend on his reply. The members
ofthc are inclined to attach importance
to the statement of this man, in consequence
of some private communication which he has
made concerning the motive to tiie instigation
of this awful outrage, which motive they deem
satisfactory and sufficient. For the sake of
humanity, and for the sake of our country, it
is to be hoped that no effort will he spared to
elucidate the whole of this affair ; and, be the
consequences what they may, to work retribu
tion in those by whom this scheme was plan
ned, and by whose influence it was carried
into effect. Fiat juslitia , pereat mundus.
J Fenimore Cooper, Esy. is out in the Phila
delphia World, in reply to the severe strictur
es upon his Naval History which have appear
ed in the Commercial Advertiser of this city.
He says that part of the articles which he con
siders personally libelous will be attended to
elsewhere. The Editor of the latter print may
consider this a sure intimation of a libel suit.
Saratoga Springs are now filling up. It is
expected that Mr. Clay will be there about the
close of next week. Possibly the President
will be there about the same time. In August
General Scott will visit the .Springs.
Destructive Fire in Maine.—Nearly one
halfof Eastport, Maine, was destroyed by fire
on the 6th inst. It broke out in No. 9 Water
street, made a clear sweep through the street
on both sides. The buildings on Hayden, Cen
tral, Union, Steamboat and Hobbs’ wharves
were consumed. Two vessels, the Martha
and Abigail, were totally destroyed. Theloss
is estimated to be $24J,090, of which about
SIOO,OOO is insured.
Richmond Flour Inspection. —The
Whig of Tuesday says:~-“We learn from
the Inspector, that the extraordinary num
ber of 239,119 barrels and half barrels of
all qualities were inspected during the year
ending the 30th of June last. This is the
largest number inspected for many years,
and we believe has only been once exceed
ed.”
More Humbug-—The Attorney General
of the State of Louisiana bays, that the
Declaration of Independence is a humbug.
We presume he considers ita libel on the
British King and hence a humbug.
Flour. —The Wheat harvest ns far North us
Maryland inclusive, isalu'iuly in; ami notwith
standing some local exceptions, particularly in
lower Virginia, it Is oil the whole one of the
richest that ever was gathered. There is every
prospect of a similar result in Pennsylvania,
New York, Ohio, Michigan, und oilier grain
growing Suites ; so linn we limy safely calcu
late upon u large surplus fur exportation, and
that the price ol flour will be regulated by what
it is worth for that purpose. This will depend,
ill part upon the scantnessor plentifulness of
the crops in oilier countries. By tiie last ac
counts, the wheal prospects were good in Eng
land, and we have seen, as yet, no iniimn
ntion of short crops any where except in Chili
liut at all events, wc shall find a demand for
flour in the West Indies and South America;
which we can supply if wc will doit cheap
enough ; and with reference to the effect oil ex
changes, it is not material where the flour goes
to, if only it goes at all. Notwithstanding tiie
short crops so 1837and 1838, weexported in tlie
twelvemonth ending 30th September last flour
to the value of $3 003,209. During the year to
come we see not why we cannot export to tiie
value of $10,000,000, unless some unlooked for
disasters should befal the crop in the Middle and
Northern States. The effect of this upon our ex
changes will be sensibly fell. Added to 1,600,-
000 dales of cotton (which the next crop will
probably realise) it will turn exchanges deci
dedly in out favor, unless we go to importing
too freely, which we arc apt to do whenever we
degin to feel strong, When exchanges become
favorable, the pressure upon the money market
will cease, ns there will then be no motive for
the exportation of specie, and consequently the
Banks will be more free with their discounts.

Melancholy iit at any time to see a fellow creature
snatched from oursii*;htby the icy hand of (bath, and
hurried into the realities of an eternal world, no more
to return ! Hut peculiarly m lancholy is it when
manhood in all its vigor is cut down, xml bright pros

Such was Ine case with our esteemed brother. He
graduated but a few years since in this Institution,
nnd retired from our w alls bearing off the highest
honors of his class Having studied divinity at the
Theologicul Seminary in a neighboring Slate during
the summer, he entered upon his duties ns n min
ister of the Gospel. The tulents he possethe
devotion of his life, and the faithfulness with which
he discharged his ministerial duties, rendered him an
efficient advocate in the cause ofChrist. By his death
the Church has lost a zealous paster —his family an

talented member. But with ull these virtues he is
gone! Naught could stay the hand of the Destroyer!
No more will he warn the impenitent. No more will
