Steamboat Wm. liurlbutt, Burnt. —This
boat, which left our wharves last evening 1
about sunset, with a large number of pas- |
sengers, and full cargo was burnt to the
waters edge, about ten miles above town, j
The fire originated in the hold, being first!
observed breaking out of the hatches, j
She was immediately run ashore, but noth
ing was saved except the lives of the pas
sengers and crew ; cargo entirely consu- :
med. We understand their was no insur
ance upon either boat or cargo. The fire
was seen from the town, and the steamboat
Logansport immediately proceeded up the
river ; she returned in the night with the
passengers and crew, who were taken from
the shore.
P. S.—Since writing the above we have
seen (he clerk of the boat, who informs us
.that the flames spread so rapidly after the
alarm was given, that it was- only by the
greatnest exertions he was able to save the
books of the boat and cash letters. The
particulars given above are correct, with
the addition, that before closing the hatch
es, the mate carefully examined the hold,
and that there was no light left; and he ob
served oolhing indicating the approaching
disaster. There is not the least apprehen
sion of their being any of the passengers or
crew missing.

REDUCTION.
Having adverted to the evils ntiendanlon Legisla
tion from a numerous body, we might reverse the sub
j jeet and by contrast shew the benefits which would
flow from a more limited association for all the pur
-1 poses connected with general Legislation ; but we
pass on to the consideration of a principal, which we
deem of vital importance to the people ofGeorgin, and
! particularly so to the Eastern district. We allude to
the federal basis, which if the amendment to the
j Constitution be ratified, may be considered as a settled
I question.
Under the Constitution of the United Stales, the
I right to l>e represented by our Slave population, was
established, on the principle, that taxation and repre
sentation go together; and Georgia wisely incorpo
rated the same principle into her system of Govertt
j ment, thereby consecrating it, as essential to the inter
est identified with her.
The Convention of 1835 desecrated this principle
for party purposes; and affords a further illustration
i of the evil resulting from a large, and what we con
\ sideran irresponsible body'. For wo do contend hud
the Convention been formed on the plan of reduction
when contended for, so vital a principle would never
have been yielded A small body of legislators
would never have dared to assume so highhanded a
measure—they would have shrunk from the respon
| sibtlity of so great an outrage, or wou'tl have sunk
| overwhelmed by the indignation of an incensed peo
ple. But confiding in their numbers, and party asto
’ ciation they did yield their principle, and would do
: it again, if the People were so unwise as not to ratify
the proceedings of the late Convention. We hao
said l hat the Federal basis was important to the State,
| and equally so to the Eastern district.—lmportant to
t lvStole because it increases the numberof her repre
sentatives, and enables her to assume a rank in the
confederacy, that she otherwise would not be able to
attuin—and because itreeoguir.es Slaves as property,
subject to taxation, and not therefore liable to the ac
tion of the Federal Government orto the schemes of the
Abolitionists —Important to the Eastern districts, be
i cause deprived of it, it would be reduced to a unit in
| the scale of representation, as must be evident to eve
ry oiij, who will examine the last census. Under no
modification therefore of the Constitution, with a
iew to reduction, could the interest of the small conn
'■ ties, and particularly those in the Eastern section be
lieltcr protected than under the proposed arrangement
—How important therefore is it, that they should he
united an favor of Ratification. By Ratification,
j they preserve their present influence in the Counsels
| of the State, reduce the expenses of the Government,
i and in all probability secure to posterity, more useful
| and efficient Legislation.
NEW YORK, Aug. 3.
Money Market.— A large business has been
i done at the- stock exchange to-day; prices have
fluctuated without material change. A further
i business was done in sterling bills this morning,
previous to the departure ofthe steamers. The
rate has receded a little from yesterday’s sales.
A large amount of specie lias gone out by the
packets sailing to-day. The Great Western
lias on board $230,090, the British Queens227,-
i 009, ami the packet ship Ontario $143,000.
The Ontario and Baltimoie about $200,000 o
! gather, making in all $000,090. Much pains
lias been taken by the shippers to conceal the
fact of the shipment. These mysterious move
-5 menls are calculated to excite distrust in the
public mind. The regular, above board move
ments of trade never create any panic. It is
the attempt at concealment, which alarms the
public mind. “Moonlight” shipments of spe
cie are always suspicious. This is part of the
j amount payable.in London by a certain firm to
which wc made reference lately, aud is not in
dicative of the regular current of trade. It
I caine on speculation, and is going back on
j speculation.
Cohn Thade.—Flour is said lobe, by the
; street papers, up tos6a $625 a barrel, but there
are no sales, for there is no demand w hatever
for the article. The prices arc only marked
up for the purpose of bringing forward fresh
supplies, as the old crop is nearly out of the
market. Five dollarsand three quarters is the
l correct rate. It is invariable the case on the
■ turn from the old to-the new crop thaf prices
; are advanced, grid it is for no other reason than
j what wc have slated. When flour is $0,25 in
the face of such abundant crops as we have
had, there is always something unnatural at
work to operate upon the market. Supplies
have not been backwark this season, but will
not begin to come forward in large quantili s
until some such movements as the above is
made, for commodities will invariable converge
to that point where prices range the highest,
There have been, in consequence of this, targe
shipments to Lake Champlain and also several
parcels to Canada, one from this city. But
these shipments have had no effect on prices
her.
The quantity oflfiecie which left Wall slreet
yerierday, may be estimated at near 1,100,000.
The amount which left in the packetson freight
was, as we stated, near $600,000; but the U. S.
Bank drew specie from the debtor banks, and
a large amount was taken privately. This
movement of specie, although anticipated,
created a great deal of gloom to day, and stocks
were universally depressed. Many stocks
were brought into the market by those in want
of money, causing prices to fall from 1-2 to 2
per cent.
There is a rumour that the Schuylkill Bank j
of Philadelphia lias been run for specie during !
the past two days. The bank has, so far, met
all demands.
The decline in slocks is incident upon the
pressure, caused by the departure of specie, j
There is, however, no cause for alarm. The
prices of cotton have fallen so low as to gene- j
rate a demand. A few weeks of time are.
however, necessary to show wether the power
of the holding speculators has Become - so far
broken as to disable them from continuing their
peinacious influence upon the markets.

A Di'Ki. came off at Comimmipaw, IN. A’,

Society in New-York city. A young lady
I was at the foundation of it. Peterson, a
few evenings previous, had escorted the la
dy to .the Society’s rooms—Blake being
there, took a fancy to her, and by fair promt
; scs and some coaxing, induced her to leave
the house and take a walk with him. For
this shabby trick Peterson, the next morn
ing, attempted to give him a cotvhiding,
! but was worsted ami his weapon taken
front him by Blake, lie then sent Blake n
challenge to mortal combat, which came
off on the day stated above. The weapons
were pistols. At the first fire young Pet
erson received hi* antagonist’s ball in the
thigh, when Blake instantly declared that
he aimed with the intention of hitting the
ground, and that he did not wish to harm
Peterson, as lie had no enmity against
him. The latter having expressed him
self perfectly satisfied with the result, the
hall was extricated on the spot, by a Doc
tor who went with the party. Both par
ties arc extremely young : one of them
not over 18 years of age. They both stood
up to the mark with good courage, and the
whole affair was conceived and carried out
in a most romantic, manner, and the result
will doubtless put the young heroine in cc>
stacics. — B. Times.

Funny Scene at the Bowery. —Wc tnav
talk as we please about the burlesque on
manners published by Marryalt and others;
but a scene occurred at the Bowery on
Saturday night, that if published in either

as the wildest fiction. A gentleman, with
two ladies, entered the dress circle of the
Bowery soon after the play began, and
finding the atmosphere very close, deliber
ately took off his coat, and luid it besides
kirn ; not being sufficiently cool, he took off
his vest also. Still feeling uncomfortably
warm, he rolled up Itis shirt sieves, and
in this state sat out the play.
Piracy.— Thomas Allaiti, an American,
was examined iri Liverpool on a charge of
having tried to murder Mr. Barney, first
officer of tire General Parkhill, off the coast

him as they had no jurisdiction in the case.
He was then arrested and put on board the
packet ship Oxford, to be sent to New-
York for trial.

President next time!” He was about
twelve years of age, had oil a straw hat,
and was otherwise plainly dressed in sum
mer clothes, with his pantaloons rolled up
to his knees, it raining violently at the time.
Well, thought we, that may be, for at your !
age, the citizen who now holds the proud
station of Chief Magistrate of this intel
ligent, powerful, arid free people, and who
is this day being honored, had no better
| prospect than yourself, to attain the high
i eminence. Industry, the cultivation of
J good morals, and application—untiring ap
plication, have raised him, and will also j
raise you to distinction. Well may every
boy in our land, to whom the path of dis
i tinction is alike open, fired with laudable
j ambition, swing his hat and cry out as did
| this little fellow, “Iltirra! I’ll be President
next time.” The incident was an interest

THE WAR RENEWED!
The following treacherous account of tlie
surprise of Col. Harney's command, reached
here this morning by express, Col. Gates, com
manding Hast of St. John’s, hits transmitted or
ders for immediate defence ofthe posts South.
Ass’t ADj'r General’s Office, ji
Army of the South. \
FORT BROOK, (E F.) July 29, 1839.
Sir—lt becomes my painful duly to inform
you of the assassination of the greater part of
Lt. Col. Harney’s detachment by ihe Indians,
on the morning of the 23d inst. on the Cole
osal.atchie river, where they had gone in ac
cordance with the Treaty it Fort King, to es
tablish a treading house. The party consisted
of about 28 men, armed with Colt’s Rifle; they
were encamped on the river but unprotected
by defence of any kind, and it is said without
sentinels. The Indians in large force made llie
attack before the dawn of day, aud, before re
veille, and it is supposed tiiai 13 of the men
were killed, among whom was Major Dallam,
and Mr. Morgan, settlers. The remainder
‘.vim Col. Harney escaped; several of them
severely wounded. It was u complete sur
prise.
The Commanding Ge tend therefore directs,
■ that you instantly lake measures to place the
| defence of Fort Mellon in the most complete
■ state of repair, and be ready at all times to re
pel and attack, should one be made. No portion
of yourcommand will, in future, be suffered to
leave the garrison, except under u strong escort.
The Detachment at Fort Maitland, will be im
mediately withdrawn.
Should Fort Mellon prove unhealthy, and the
Surgeon recommend its abandonment, you are
authorised to transfer ihe garrison, aud rein
force some of the neighboring posts.

The Florida War.— What has become ofthe
twenty or thirty millions expended in the Flor
ida War? This question is often asked, but”
not as often as it should be. Did our people
see the money taken from their pockets, they
would ask tlie question to some purpose.. The
great body of our citizens, who are laboring
lo support their families, and nre groaning
uii9.iv ilia Itiglt pricee of the necessaries 01
life, do not reflect thufthey are paying a por
tion of their earnings to meet the reckless ex
penditures of government agents, and to fill
the pockets of greedy contractors. The rev
enue paid at the Custom House is supposed to
come in some mysterious way form the bottom
oflbcdeep, instead of being drawn duv by day
from the purse of the frugal consumer. It
goes as mysteriously us it comes; and if Con
gress appropriates a few millions, we notice it
as much as wc should notice the passage of an
empty resolution, or the appointment of u coni
j mittee.
What has become of the twenty millions?
! A shrewd Yunkee goes to Florida with a little
steamboat which lie has bought from one o
our rivers for seven thousand dollurs, and ihe
j U. S. Army pays him three hundred dollars
el day, for the. mere use of the boat , agreeing
to return the boat in as good condition ■
it was taken. The bout is employed at this
: rate from Octobei to June, and at the end of
that time the owner receives from the Trea
sury seventy-two thousand, dollars, the boat be
ing returned in good repair. During a part of
this time the boat lies at the wharf, while the
captain, who was sent to return it to itsowner,
is having a drunken frolic: and meanwhile tile
government is paying for it three hundred
dollarsaday! In addition to this three hun
dred dollars, the crew must be paid, fully pro
vided, &e. &c. The boat approaches a woud
| pile: wood must be had, and now is the time
; for a fine drought on the Treasury. Ten
j times the value of the. wood is a moderate
| charge; the money is paid, and the boat moves
on. At the same late are other puchases
made and labor employed; arid the patriotic
dealers who thus supply he government use
! greatly saddened thtt’ the honor of the Nation
should be wounded by anything like a relin
quishment of the Florida war. I
This is not fancy, it is history, and we have
it from the mouth of an intelligent gentleman
j in Florida, tvhose account merits the highest
confindence. From the same source welearn
(what might have been well enough conjectur
ed) that the movers of Ihe excitement respect
ing General Macomb’s treaty are chiefly men
who furnish, directly or i -directly, the sup
plies of the army, and the means of carrying
on the war.
We have slated these facts as throwing light
! on the subject. “What has become of the
twenty millions?” That peculiar circumstan
ces may sometimes render such expenditures
unavoidable, will not be doubted. But the
history ofthe Florida contracts and purchases
would probably do little credit to the financial
skill of the government agents, if such apology
were offered.
The Cost of the Canadas to Great Bri
tain.—John Bull loves Colonies dearly, or
else he would not pay so dearly for them.
The baily pay of 14,000 regular soldiers,
to say nothing of volunteers, who squan
der more money than the regulars, would
make, as Brother Jonathan would guess, a
good many rail roads. According to the
Budget of the Chancellor, we see, that the
cost of keeping the Canadas is running the
the Home Treasury ashore. If we had
their 14,000 soldiers on our public works,
with the officers as engineers, we would
soon finish up our New York and and Erie,
and Albany Rail Roads.—The armed body
in Canida is now estimated at 33,000 men.

ton factory, on one ofthe most eligible siittn
thms in the Houthern Htates, for health and
convenience, in the County of Mclntosh
(Georgia.) distance from Darien four miles,
on a bold salt Creek, landing direct from the
sound of Doboy bar, with n wide and open
view of the sea; forming a crescent, Haiti
Creek having a depth of water at a bluff lan
ding- (where the location of said factory shall
ho made,) of at least 14 feet water; —in the
rear also of which is nit excellent body of pine
timber furnishing the necessary fuel for asteam
Engine.
In (he vicinity are several saw mills, from
which can be got nil the necessary materials,
in Ihe progress ofthe buildings.—The situ

lumber. The advantages of such an establish
ment in the neighborhood is obvious. The lo
cation being a perfectly healthy summer re
treat ;—the vicinity immediate to Darien, where
the choice and selection of cotton can be unde,
or at Macon—with the advantages beside to
neighoring planters in giving employment to
