Tut: Cotton Chop.— The hopes of the
planter have thus fur been fully realised, and
the prospect of an abundant cropare ofthe most
flattering nature. During the last fortnight
the frequent showers of rain have greatelv im
proved the corn, hut some fears are entcrained
that the growth of the cotton will be too luxu
riant, and that it will in consequence cast its
fruit. Many planters in this neigborhood have
ulraudy commenced gathering their crops. W o
w ere presented last week w ith some grow n on
Bcllviile plantation, by our friend Col. C. Hop
kins, which is of a very superior quality, and
are informed Ins crop will lie very abundant.
Notwithstanding the fall in the price of this
great staple (and our country, the large quantity
grown this year will make ample amends.
The State Rights Party of Bibb county have
nominated Isaac G. Seymour for the Semite;
and A. 11. Chappell, Roland Bivins, and Ber
ry Rogers, for the Representative branch, in
the next I.legislature.
Docs.—lt isamaxin. in law “that it is better
that ninety-nine guilty persons should escape,
than that one innocent person should suffer.”
The very reverse we hold to he true with re
gard to daps. We think it better that ninety
nine innocent dogs should be assassinated,
than that one mad dog should escape. Our
streets are literally alive with snapping, growl
ing, yeipuvg curs. AH know the effects of
this season of the year on dogs and every per
son should guard against the most horrible of
all diseases.
We must call Upon the Marshal to do his
duly, and the sooner he commences the better-
The dogs in this city “claim too large a char
ter” to bark at whom they please, and a stop
should be put to it forthwith.
The Grand Lottery. —We have seen it sta
ted in several papers that there was no law to
authorize the Lottery for the diposition of that
most valuable properly in New Orleans. That
11 large number condemn Lotteries is very cer
tain ; but that they should resort to sue h sub
terfuges and misrepresentations to create dis
trust in,the public mind, is extraordinary.
We say nothing of the morality of Lotteries :
but it is clear that the managers have an un
doubted legal right as is shown in the opinion
of the Hon. Joseph M. White of Florida, which
we published in the last Herald.
They have made an arrangement to deposit
the whole sum paid for every ticket in one of
the best banksof New Orleans, subject to the
order of the Cashiers, and themselves jointly,
to be drawing when life money is paid for the
titles of the property. Under these ctrcuin
stances, those who have or maytpurehase, have
liotmia to Tear.
Individuals w ishing tojpifrchase tickets in
the above lottery had better do so immediate
ly. We should be p'etned lolrtVe the highest
prize com,; to this city. The tickets, wc learn
sell rapidly, in all parts of the country.
Tennessee.— The “Whigs are beaten in this
State. We had returns yesterday from 43
Counties, entbraceing nearly all of East and
Middle with some portions of West Tennes
see. The aggregate vote of these counties is
for Pm. k 36,256; for Cannon 28.922. leaving
Pole a majority of 7329. Nine members of
< tongress arc reported as elected, o f whom five
are Whigs and sot r Administration, two of
the latter a clear gain. Four Congressional
Districts to hear from. There is scarcely a
doubt qf Pole’s election by seveial thousand
majority—but we cannot yet tell what the
majority of the Congressional Delegation will
be.
Noam Carolina.— The election, jn four of
the N. Carolina Congressional districts, has re
sulted in th<\ following re elections: Edward
Stan!t4-W.) M. T. Hawkins, (V. L.) Charles
Shepterd, (Sub Treasury ) Jesse A. iiyntim.
(V.U.) Mr. Shepherd was elected to the last
Congress asa Whig, but in consequence of his
Sub Treasury views, he was opposed, this lime,
by a Whig. Five districts remain to be heard
. from Rayner, (W.) will, it issaid, beat Sawyer,
the late. Van lliircn member, who was also
elected to,the last Congress as a Whig.
The Crops. —Account.-; float every section
of our country announce the fact that the land
has not produced as abundantly for the last
twenty years as it has he present season. 80
that, notwithstanding all the fears and prophe
sies of evil, and what is more, notwithstanding
our ingratitude to the Author ofevery good and
perfect gift, we have a prospect of being adund
antly supplied with the necessaries of life.—
Compared with this great object, it is hut of lit
tle moment, should foreign articles of luxury
bear a high price. Our pride may suffer if we
are coin"c!ied to wear clothes of a course or
unfashionable texture, but we may still live,
and live very comfortably too. The only class
who muriner, because the tabors of the hus
bandman have been so largely blessed, is made
up of those who are in the habit of grinding the
faces of the poor by an iniquitous moßoply
of bread-stuffs. For the sorrows of monopo
lists, we frankly confess that we feel very little
sympathy. Their prosperity is so intimately
connected with the sufferings and ruin of the
1 adoring class of community, that we are quite
willing that it should experianee a very sensi
ble diminution. There arc inodes of procur
ing an horicst subsistence to which they may
j resort in rase of ta'lremity, to the great im
provement of their own morals and the relief
of their indigent neighbors.

REDUCTION.
We have endeavored toshow the importance
of preseviag the Fcdernl basis. It ought not,
however to be diguised, lli.it there is a strong
and growing party in the State opposed to it ;
and that if the present amendment Is not rati
fied, no future Con vention, in all probability,
will be able to retain it. The white basis is
decidedly preferred in those Counties in which
the hluek population does not preponderate,
and though in a minority now, the time is not
far distant u hen they w ill. become the majority.
This party, more from political viewsthan any
other, cooperated ill favorof Reduction on the
plan now submitted. Had they united with
the large counties, a very different system
would hate been imposed on the country. One
that would have divested the Eastern District
of all political power, and placed it under the
iron rule of a majority —a despotism more in
tolerable than that of the Schah's of Persia.
And yet. such is the force of party prejudice,
there are politicians among us, who would op
pose Ratification, merely because in the classi
fication of Counties, a little more political pow
er is imparted to the Union Party than of right
belongs to them—thereby immilating that
narrow minded policy, that they so pointedly
condemn in their opponents, and which is so
prejudicial to the public weal. Blit to return.
The great object of the large counties, or what
may be more properly termed the Central
Part y, is to increase their present power. They
constitute now by far the most numerous body
—and tiio’ 111 favour of Reduction they are
opposed to the plan submitted for Ratification
by the Convention. They contend llmt reduc
tion without equalization is subsersive oftheir
rights—that no Reduction can be equal that is
not formed on Population- thut to allow to
each County one Representative, nml to every
two Counties, one Senator, would lie Reduction
without equalization, and sooner Ilian submit
to such an unequal distribution of political pow
er, they will oppose Ratification, and leave to
posterity the correction of those evils which
they sensibly feel and acknowledge, but have
not the p itriotism to remedy. In other words,
tin y will only consent to that system of Re
duction, which will give them a controlling
influence in both branches of the Legislature
and forever place at the mercy of a majority
the 1 destinies of the St ate. But is it true that
the rights of the large Counties will be com
promised by the proposed amendment of the
Constitution? Will their power be less ? It is
110t.p1 ('tended that lliere will he any loss of in
fluence in the Senate. That body being formed
on the basis of territory, they will stand us
they now do, on a perfect equality with the
small bounties. It is only in the other branch,
therefore, that we must look for inequality.—
And how do the large Counties stand there?
Their present infltn nee in the liotish is derived
ffom their superiority in population, and will
it be less if the amendment is Ratified? Does
not population now form the basis of the pop
ular hra :eh and if numbers controlled in the
Old, will it not do so in the new system ?
The Union Party, who composed the ma
jority in the late Convention, alike insensible
to the claim i of posterity or the dictates of pa
triotism, tbo’ favorable to the proposed system
of Reduction, would risk the failour ol the
measure, sooner than submit to any classifiea
lion of the Counties which would net give to
their party a preponderating influence in the
Legislature. This influence, it*s admitted on
all hands will be of brief continuance, and yet
such is the love of political power, that rather
than part with it even for a limited lime, they
will forego present and future benefit to the
Country. But will the people take no interest
in the matter ? will they permit the foods of
party to interfere with the public good 1 will
they not rally to the Polls on the first .Monday
in October next, and uniting in favor of Ratifi
cation, secure to themselves and posterity the
benefits thus presented for their acceptance.

SERENADING PARTIE3.
Mr. Editor:
I am very fond of music, particularly when
it is good. T have no particular choice, vocal
or instrumental, either, give me greaydeasurc
and throw around me a spell of unspeakable
delight. Just as I had drawn on my night
cap and laid my weared head upon the pil
low, I heard a party of seicnaders near, and
throwing up tlie sash of my window, listen
ed to the enchanting music of the party. I
was’quite in extacy. Having travelled all day
and just arrived in the Macon stage, it was more
than I expected to be honored with a call from
the serenading party. Music seems to be
much cultivated in your city —it is an evidence
of refined feeling, and shows that the Morus
Multicauiis fever h- s not entirely absorbed
the attention of the citizens of this part of the
country. The party performed admirably,
upon the various instruments —many of which
I had never heard before. I regret that cir
cumstances compel me to depart so soon—it
certainly deprives ineof much pleasure, in not
being able again to hear the performance of
this promising association. Practice alone is
wanting to make them equal if not superior to
manyoi the crack bands of other cities. Wish
ing them much pleasure in their social enjoy
ments, I bid them adieu, for I am off, as the
fiy said, in the Savannah stage, to morrow
morning. A STRANGER.

THU MOINTOSH COUNTY HERALD.,
In the Vermont Mercury of the 2d inst. published
si Wood Slock, we find a teller published dated in
Savannah, Georgia: Feb: 10111 1839. Tbe editor
says, that the author of the letter was a Professor
in one of the New England colleges hill has been some
time at the south on account of hit health’ and to
facilitate some researches luris making on the subject
of Natural History. He expresses himself strongly.
He no Jmibt /erf.t strongly indignant when he eon
templates themornl and |aiUtienl ruin so ardently
•ought lobe e.onsumatad by the iueondiory efl'orts of
the abolitionists. Os the perfect integrity of his
character, of his love end real for the truth, and of his
talent for accurutaand discriminating observation
there is, and can he, hut one opinion with those who
know him We publish ‘the following nxtrncts :
“As respects the actual rendition of the negroes
held in bondage I cannot find language toexpress my
contempt and abhorrence of the “blackness ofdnrk
iiess” of the falsehoods habitually flowing from the
abolition pr-ssea and from the foul mouths ofthe
abolition lecturers ofthe north.
“The bugbear stories of negro suffering with which
they frighten children of every age and ‘lend captive
silly woman 1 are (909 per thousand of them) lies, most
infamous tics. 1 have not yet seen an unkind look or
heard an unkind word from a white man to a black
one. I have w atched the intcrcouvco of the two
races whenever 1 I'fhild see it in the streets, on the
wharves, in the stores, hotels, private houses and I
fully believe (strange ns may seem the opinion) that
so ferns happiness consists in the absence of suffering
the slave population oflliis country is happier than
the free population. It would not be the happiness j
for you and me, but it is sueh to them.
“But they are deprived of the menus of religious in
struction, say the abolitionists. As n comment on
this particular falsehood, I w ill say that ill this city
there arc two churches appropriated to the blacks: the
ministers themselves being black aln one of these
clmrehes there are over two thousand communicants,
m fiir ol her over twelve hundred. I have bepn to j
both and seen the congregations as well dressed as
(and considerable more finely than) the white ones.
They havelheir Sunday school taughtl>y white.men ‘
and woman. And their instruction is ns good and
as orthodox ns that given at uiiy Sunday school in
New England.
“It is true that their instruction is oral. Thunks
to the abolitionists, they are not now as formerly
‘taught to read. But yel I know of many who d ’ ,
read, and when the servants of my hoarding house
appear with a book, oil one takes it aw ay. nml I un j
demand that generally there is no interference in
such coses. I must ardently desire that the condition
of men, black or white, nil over the, globe .should be
improved.—but until I can see my way more clearly j
than I now do, I would still say with St. Paul, ‘Slaves j
(ilmilui) be obedient to your masters. 1
The Charlatan Mercury denounces in strong terms
the system of borrowing money from abroad, which
has been indulged in lo so great an extent by tbe va
rious Slates of tin- Union. Tlioedi tor observes :
“ The firm and direct effect of tbe sudden intro
duction into any Slate of n large amount of circulat
ing capital from abroad is ofnzcossity A “sudden and
dangerous enlargement ofthe currency of such Slate.
The money borrowing is deposited in the banks, and
becomes the basis of paper issue to un amount gener
ally far beyond the loan. Imagine a young Suita
like Illinois or Mississippi suddenly smitten with the
frenzy of development her resources,’and pouring in
upon her infant population millions of foreign money.
Ifilcost nothing, ifit did not bind the State in long
years of servitude to her distant creditor, il would
st ill be n curse, and tend more to poverty than riches.
A whole State is made drunk, u spirit of gambling
pervades ail business, wholesome industry is deserted
for wholesale venture, the discretion, and moral feel
ing of the community are lost, extravigance of hope
and of living prevails every where, prices •. to an
enormous tieigth, and the end of all is a genera! crash
In another sense, and scarcely less directly, the Slate

two dollars eight cents per head greater than
the present debt of Florida.

TROUBLE AMONG Till; INIM VN’H.
•I (treat Slaughter. —The Si. Louis Re
publican states, on the iiitthority of a letter
from Fort Nuelling, dated July 10111 iliat a
most unhappy state of tifluirs exists between
the Souix and Chippewnys, and, that the
latter have been slaughtered in great num
bers. The following is an extract of the
letter:—“The Uottix niu 1 Chippoway* have
line] a brush at two dillerenl points on the
St. Croix and again about thirty miles above
the Falls oi'Ht. Anthony. The Chippeways,
just before leaving the Pillagers, I believe,
had killed, at Lake Calhoun, a Souix Brave,
no hour or two after sunrise. The news
having spread like wild fire, the Souix
about two hundred strong, left the Falls.
Ilale-in-thc-duy, a Cltippewat Chief, had
pushed on with his party and was not over
taken. The Souix who left the falls came
across a party of the Rum River Band, at
tacked them about sunrise the next morn
ing and killed one hundred and thirty-three
men, woman and children. This was
above the Falls. Big Thunder, a Souix
Chief, crossed the country in pursuit ofthe
Strong Ground Band of Chippeways and
overtook and fought them at St. Croix.
Big Tlufnder told the Sioux not to fire
where the whites were, (Messrs. Atkins
and McLoud’s party) and as the Chippe
ways huddled round the whiles many of
them thus escaped. Notwithstanding tile
Sioux killed thirty-six men of die Cliippc
wiiv party, and some women and children.
There will, no doubt, he 4 general, engage,
moot between the Sioux and Cliippi ways
before nuiiy months more. Halo-in-the

SEMINOLES CAPTI ! RED— LATE FROM
FLORIDA.
Garey’h Firry, Aug. 9lh, 1830.
The Stemnbout Charleston leaves Garey’
Ferry to-day, with 46 Heminole.s, prisoners of
war, til chutge of Lieut, W. K. Hanson, 7th
Infantry. These, Indiana were ruptured by
that ollicer at Fort Mellon, a few days since, j
under the following circumstances:—The in- i
telliganceof the Coloosahatchee murder was
brought to Fort Mellon on thy 31st ult. hy a
detachment of Dragoons. The Indians who
were encamped considerable nttniMr at Fort
Mellon, receiving rations &e., fled precipi
tately at the sight of a mounted force, and
would not return to the Foil until the Dra
goons hud started back for Tumpa, a few of
them then came in, and announced that the
Fhief would visit the Fort on the 3d day, with
some of his people to p ocure provisions. Ac
cordingly, on the afternoon of the 3d’ forty
live of them, men, woman, and children came,
into the Fort. At a preconcerted signal, the
troops ran t() their arms,dosed the galea, and
surrounded the Seininoles. They made some
efforts to escape, and two men broke through
the line of soldiers. A volley of musquelry
was poured upon them, and thby both dropped
dead. The remainder then quietly surrend
ered. The Klcamhoat Charleston reached the
FortUvo days after the capture, and the Indi
ans were at once transferred on hoard. On,
the Silt, another Seminole with his wife und
child were captured, making the whole amount
of prisoners 48, of whom fourteen were inch.
They reached Oarey’s Feriy yesterday.
•The most singular circumstance. attending
thfc afkir, is, that thcTndiaWs intellig
ence in’ a runner of the Coloosahatchee tnas
sacreTefore their capture. They were ignor
atfl,.however, that the same news luni tiseu
received at Fort thoughtthertfforo,
that they might safely return to the Fort 4<r

They maintained an appearance of friendship,
throu limit the whole time, which w!fi met tiy
appearance equally sincere on the part of the
garrison, ufttil the proper mornent c.ljne forUu-i
deceiving them. The intelligence ofthe Col
oosaltiilcniPr uTmTr had been brought If* them
on the 2nd August by an Indian named ■'hpanP
ixh John , residing on the Gulf coast, lie was
one of the two who attempted to escape when
surrounded by the troops at Fort Mellon, and
was shut dead as above staled, lie had w ith
him a largo amoun of money, and a number
of percussion caps, such as are used by the
Dragoons. It is not. impossible that he was
present at, if not an actor in the Coloosahut
hec tragedy.
A Toast. —During the passage of the Great
Western, on the occasion of the anniversary of

named Delard, came behind her husband while
he was kneeling at prayers, and struck him

Health of the City.—VAC have made care
ful enquiry at the sources where accurate in
formation is most likely to be obtained, and
we arc justified in concluding that Yellow Fe
ver does exist in our city. In the charity hos
pital seven fatal cases have occurred, and there
are now several patients seriously ill with the
disease. Some cases have broken out in the
city. We know of two young men, merchants
clerks, who arc now down with (he fever. As
yet. however, the epidemic prevails to no very
alarming extent; but with the intense heats
which have succeeded the long continued and
copious rains, it is altogether probable, that iri
a few days, we sh ill have to record numerous
cases.— Bee.

these institutions at a time u lien they have lo

must be extended to the many instead of the

ductive labor, which is in fact the true secret

price, coin would have been in abundance in
that country, and cotton would have sustained

To sustain the. Credit System, the true found
