Turoilar Morning, Krplrmbrr 3. We have emitted eeveral articles intended tor to dav’e paper in order to insert I lie communication signed “Dotii give up the Ship. ” Corrvspondinls must remember that th ir communications must he lmnded in ou or before Friday to insure publi alion. We havr received a well written article addresi ed to the rity authorities upon the subject of the est ton which at present lies on one of the wharves of our city, sad which if permitted to remain in the present sitnstion much longer, will injure the health of the citil’as. We hove, however, thought proper to omit it. believing the pro|ier authorities will sec the necessity of removing it immediately. The Rice Crop?.— Some planters on the River have begun harvesting their riee. Their hopes of an excellent crop are about to be ful filled, as the gathering in, coinmeticej in fa vou rable circu instances. For the Herald. Mb. Editor : Permit me to call the attention of the good people of Mclntosh County, to a subject which is exciting much interest, in every part of the State, and one in which no community is more deeply interested than our own, I need hardly say, Sir, that I allude to the determina tion of a number of persons, to incmorili ze the Legislature ai its next session to pass some law, which will effectually suppress the retail ing of ardent spirits. I indulged the hope, that someone Itetter qualified, would have brought the subject before the public, but as there remains but little lime for action, I take the liberty of soliciting a place in your paper. That the prevalence of ‘'grogshops” in any so ciety, is an evil to be deprecated, 1 presume none will deny. That they conduce neither to the morality, welfare, nor respectability of any j class of men is self evident. That they tend to the subversion of good order, to die grossest immorality, and to the coss of domestic happi ness is not less so. Why then is a system, not only destitute of all good, but froug'it with in calculable evil tolerated ? The only answer that occurs to me is because the “rightful rem edy ’’ has nol yet been devised. An evil may exist a long time after it is known to be such,! and generally in proportion to its magnitude is the difficulty of its removal. Now the Legislature has regarded the traffic in ardent spirits a public evil, and hence laws have been enacted to regulate and in a measure restrict it. These laws have proven ineffectual (I linos- uh the inefficiency, in a great measure of those whose, duty it is to enforce them) and the evil still exists. A remedy has been sought, and is now presented to the people. That rem edy is the total prohibition of the retailing sys- . lent whereby the sale of ardent spirits direct ly, or indirectly, shall be rendered penal. lam aware that a question may,arise as to the con-. stittitionalily of such a law. This I think is set tled by the fact that Legislation has been had already upon the subject. The Leg Mature sen sible of th/evil has from time to tihie pasatd laws partially prohibitory, as is the license law. I If it is constitutional to declare that the traffic shall tint be permitted but under certain res- ; triclions, is it not equally so to increase those .restrictions so a3 to amount to an absolute pro hibition ? If the Legislature has the right to affix a tax of twenty dollars upon every license, has it not the same right to make the Ux twen ty thousand I Whyis it that a heavy lax has been imposed upon this traffic but to prevent the accumulation of it ? But says one. you would deprive me of my liberty. Have I not a right, in this free country to do as I please ? Yes, so long as your doings affect no one, but yourself; but when you would do that which is an injury to a community, that right ceases, > or they who compose it are your slaves. We ! dont petition the Legislature to muzzle A. B. or C. let them driuk, if they will ; but we as respectfully, and most solemnly, memoralize : that body, to protect us from the injury which i D. is inflicting by retailing ardent spirits. We ask, and we will continue to ask, until the boon is granted, that the retailer be pro hibited from his work of dessolatton and death. Let it not be said that we would take away the ] means of a livelihood from those engaged in this business. The passage of such a law might cause them some temporary embarrasment ; it would cur- j tail thejr profits, but as an offset to this, let me ask how many a rich inheritance has been transfered from the bands of the rum-drinker to the rum-seller ? Where is the compassion of the retailer who receives the hard earnings of many a heart broken wife, for that which has made her husband a drunkard, and her children beggars? Who will compute the woe which the retailing system has caused within < the bounds ofour own country ? Known only to the Omniscient eye are the hearts that have been drained of their purest joy, by thisun holly traffic. Shall we compare the loss of reputation, and affection, and hope, with the loss of a retailer’s stock of rum ? According to an old proverb “it is a poor rule that does not work both ways.” Now I think it is time, it should work the other way. But so far from desiring to take from him the means of living, we would see the retailer supporting himself in a more certain as well as in a more respecta ble way. But if you prohibit the sale of ar ent spirit, I cant buy it, and so you take away my liberty. Well, which is most in accordance with justice, and the spirit of our government, that a community should be injured rather than you be denied the privilcdgc of—what? Being happy, or uaeful or respected, or prosperous 1 No. Os tie giading youmfilf, of bringing your family to poverty, and wque&lhmg to your children a’ heritage of tame, or the reverse 1 ? This Is my business and you have no right to inter fere But it is the duty of the law to protect your wife ind children. They have claims ns sacred aaj’ours, to “life,liberty and the pursuit of happiicss,” und w hen you infringe upon thewe yoLdo that which neither the laws of God nor your country sanction. It is not the dostgnof the memorialists to interfere with the personal rights of any. If a man choose to drukt, and drink himsetfto death, of course he in/do it, just as he would commit suicide in acy other way. If he thinks it is one of the ui dutiable rights of man to disregard every fetation in life and reckless of consequences to do as he pleases, we can only pity his delusion. All that we desire is to be protected from a nuisance. The people cither have the right to require a redtess’of grievances at the hands of the legislature, or they have not. If they have, we regarding as we do the retailing of intoxicating drinks ns an evil, and are nol tran scending the liberty guaranteed to us by the Constitution, when we ask that body to put a final stop to the iniquitous system. If we have nol this right, then have we not a right to de mand a redress of grievances of any kind, and our boasted freedom is but a name. Our ser vants may be corrupted. Our children made drunkards, and we have not the right to tiller a word of remonstrance or complaint. We would protect ourst ives from the approach of an enemy more to tie dreaded than war, pes tilence or famine, and that we may be success ful we call upon the patriotic citizens of Mc- Intosh county to subscribe to the memorial, und tl a majority of the people sanction the measure w e shall expect the members of the leaislatute luobey the instructions of their con stituents. There is no fanaticism in this und staking. Men of ull parties in politics and religion are united in the effort, and although it may be ex pecting too much to calculate upon the decid ed action of the Legislature at its next session, we are confident the day is not far distant when the voice of the people shall be heard. Public opinion is the law of the land with us, and when once established on the side of virtue it is irresistable. You might us well talk of rolling back to their fountains the wuters-ofthe Alutamaha, as of arresting the discussion of this subject. To the friends of the measure we say loose no time in subscribing to the memorial. To those engaged in soliciting subscribers we say “Dont Give ep the Ship.” rOB THE DARIEN IIEHAI.iI. FEMALE EDUCATION. It is a common observation, and one derived from every day’s experience, that female edu cation has ever exercised great influence upon the happiness and respectability of society. It has claimed the attention of every age, and, indeed, can never fail to be an object of the first importance to every coixmiuuily—and wo trust it will not be presumptuous to any of our fair readers, if it should be urged, that there never was a period in which female education ought to be more carefully watched than the present. No doubt there are those who will ba ready to tell us, that our ideas upon this subject are rather hazarded, than maintained by established truth—perhaps so —but we must express the belief, that any one who is at all familiar with the systems now adopted, will find Ihry are not without foundation. In easting our eje over the literature of the present day, ive see much to admire, and much to condemn. It is at all times cheering to the voiitry of science, to witness the advancement and stteeess of intellectual exertion; nnd it is equally discouraging, on the other hand, to notice the profusion of spurious and disordered productions which arc fiom day today forced upon the public charity. It is evident, the more extensive the literature of the country, the more promiscuous and corruptible it becomes. Sur rounded by such an indiscriminate collection, females, from their extreme sensibility, their vivacity and readiness to pursue whatever has an attractive or fanciful exterior, know not where to fix the attention, and arrest the won dering curiosity; they are led by specious and imposing prospects, to enter upon a much more extended field, and in this way, are brought to neglect the graver branches of literature, for the more seiuctive and pernicious. Gould there be any profitable end obtained, or even a resting place discovered, every objection would be removed, but after once indulging, there js no presuming what may be the consequence*; the texture of the female mind i.s too delicate to resist such strong temptations. We would not be understood, however, as condemning, without reserve, every fictitious work; on the contrary, we would urge the pro’ prtely of every one being conversant with the favourite authors of Uje age—nor would we advance the opinion, that females should de vote themselves exelu.ively to the higher branches ofseience; there as a medium in each, and how far to proceed in either should be the grand point of investigation. Our objections to the great majority of romances, are founded on the persuasion that they vitiate nnj corrupt the morals of society; their tendency over the female character, is to enfeeble that delicucy and purity of heart which is her fairest and brightest pearl; and the more intricate and la borious occupations of the closet must inevita bly cloud their cheerfulness and sprigh tli ness, anJ supply a calculating and phlegmatick spir it. The prevalent system of education (and it may be applied equally to both sexes) seems to grow out of the erroneous idea, that the mind, to reach its highest perfecting shouid gather its stores from the indiscriminate mass which the present age ex’ ibits—its researches must not be restricted, but cull here a flower & there a trope, until a confuse ‘ heap is collected without the least harmony or order. The fal lacy of such a sygfcm must appear obvious— mmm awsare©®® mm wherever the attention i directed to eo many collateral objects, it can no longer be vigorous or collected —"the stream diridod into go many channels ceases Inflow cither deep or strong.” The diffusion of opulence has also an unhappy effect over mental improvement. It generates luxury and indolence, and consults rather our ease than our profit. The fashions and gaieties of the world entice the votary of pleasure from the more peaceful and retired walks of domes tic life, ami the politer branches of literature occupy the attention of the vain and ostenta tious, to the. exclusion or neglect of the more substantial ami profitable. It is to the pursuit’ of these objects, thut the females of the present day give their almost undivided care; and it is in this way that a mind, nnliirnlly strong and vigorous, becomes enfeebled and shattered. It is impossible, where wo grasp at shadows, to realize any thing that is solid or material. Man ual labour is now thrown aside, as the calling of those to w hom nature has allotted a more humble sphere of action, and the beautiful sys tem <xf asconomicks is really becoming ex tinct. These are our views of a subject which has been so frequently and comprehensively treat ed, ami which we hope will soon lie more uni versally admitted. We have been induced to say thus much, from the high admiration we eitteitain for the female character; —as Swift says, bless them, we love them all—we believe they were destined for important and exalted purposes—beings, who by their very nature, are calculated to calm the little ripples of in dividual calamity, and for ever preserve and strengthen the laws of social life As some poet has beautifully expressed,—she seems to have been intended by her creator, as a connect ing link between mm and the angel—a mes senger employed to contribute to his necessi ties, and regulate, in un eminent degree, the moral world.. TIDES. White- Oak Pantalion. New- Fork, Aug. 23. Singular. —We hove information from below that on Wednesday lost the pilot boat Blossom, oil'the Woodlands, fell in with a Baltimore built schooner, on board which were some twenty-five or thirty men, all blacks, short of provisions and water, with which the Blossom supplied them. On Thursday the Blossom took the schoon er in tow, intending to bring her in, but some suspicious movements on the part of the black crew induced the pilots to cast her off There appeared to be no person on board who could speak English ; the blacks were well supplied with cutlasses and other wea pons, hut seemed to have no skill in navi gation, as the schooner was drifting about apparently’ without any guidance or object, having very little canvass set. When last seen she was about 30 miles 8. S. E. of Sandy Hook. A Spanish schooner sailed from Havana some six or eight weeks ago, with a num ber of slaves on hoard, and 20 white pas sengers, destined for St. Jago tie Cuba. Intelligence was soon after received that the blacks had risen upon the whites and put them to death, pusscngcis, crew and all. A vessel of Avar was sent from Havana in pursuit, but we have had no account of the schooner's capture. There is strong rea son to believe thut the schooner reported by the Blossom is that same Spaniard. Augusta. —The sickness in this city is prevailing to a very alarming extent, as ap pears hy the following extract of a letter, which we have been permitted to copy . “ Aucusta, Aug. 26. —Our city-, is in a great stale of excitement and alarm. There were 14 deaths last week ; mid there are now 120 Vases of fever—a good many of whom cannot live. 1 shall leave, this even ing, for the sand hills, to sleep at night— und hope that I shall escape. Some of our most respectable citizens have had it, — some have died. Every one that Can leave is preparing to do so.” . Another letter, dated 27th, referring to the disease, which the writer terms “ Yel low Fever,” says: “None have recovered who have been taken, and many die, in from 3 to 5 days. Some ofour oldest resi dents, even of 20 years standing, have fal len victims to the fell destroyer. Young and old, strangers or residents—all are subject to this devastating calamity. Sev eral arc now at the point of death, and two of our most eminent physicians arc at this moment in a very critical state. Several heads of families, male and female, have already fallen victims to the disease. You can form no conception as to the alarm and excitement existing among the community. Country people who have visited the city, unaware of the sickness, immediately flee from us in a panic. Our city is likely to be deserted, should the disease continue, as the inhabitant# arc leaving by hundreds. The medical men here do not acknowledge it to he the Yellow Fever—But one Physi cian, from New-Orleans, who, of course, has had considerable experience, unhesita tingiy pronounces that it is so. The sick nugs is chiefly confined to the lower por tion of the town.” —Charleston Courier. SAVANNAH, Aug. 2fith, 1839. Look Out.- About ten days since, the store of Messrs. Wreds and Morrell was broke open by the lane— their desks was opened and a small amount (all they could find) was car ried off. On Saturday night last, thestore of Mr. Wm. H. Lloyd, Market Square, was also broke open and robbed of what money could be got at, fortunately the amount was small. Depreda tions, such as these, occurring during these bright moon light nights, must reflect a little on the vigilence ofour watchmen, Unparalleled Trotting. —A horse called Dutchman, trotted three miles under the sad dle, (at Hoboken, on Thursday last.) in seven minutes thirty-two seconds and a half! He must have been the “flying Dutchman.” Caution.— Five or six persons died in Augusta Ga. one day last week from a sick ness resembling Yellow Fever, but which upon investigation was found to have been caused by a quantity of bacon that was stowed away in a ware house and had be come putrid, and a lot of damaged cotton seed thrown out in an open space, fjunch Law. —Three of the murderers ofthe Wright family in Washington county, Arkansas, have been taken by tin citiz .'is and hung without any fonnal tnU. Indian Kky, (Fla.) Atm. 17. lass of the ship Grand Turk of Heston. —The ship Grand 7V irk, of Boston, Oapt. Toots cron, ran aahore on Saturday morn ing, July fi, at 4 A. M. on Pay* Hock, 12 miles from Key Biscayne Florida, with a part cargo of Suit, from St. Übes, bound to New-Orleana. The U. 8. Steam ship Point • sett, being at Cape Florida, discovered her and ran to her assistance. The crew of the boat after some difficulty succeeded in hea ving her off the rocks, pumped het with about 100 men to keep her afloat. On Sun day morning July Oth, finding it impossi ble to keep her afloat, had to run her ashore to keep her from sinking. The ship Bril liant, Capt. Goodier, and Mount Vernon, Capt. Sanderson, with their crews, strip ped the ship clean anil arrived at this port on Wednesday morning at about 2 A. M., with the officers, materials and crew. The ease will he settled hy arbitration.

She brings intelligence of a rise in cotton from ajto J penny per pound. Sales at that, fair. The Bank of England has tried to negotiate a loan with the Hank of France and failed. Exchanges are better. The money,market displayed some firmness on the 30th tilt, and purchases of Consols, for time, were made to a considerable extent. The British Ministry appear firmly seated in their places, and the Queen is in excellent health. There is a report that she is, to marry Prince Albert of Saxe Cobourg. The next important items are the news of a fight between the Turks und Egyptians, in which Ibrahim Pasha was victorious. The Sultan is dead. Lady Hester Stanhope died in Syria July 23d. The Duke de Leuchtenberg has at last mar ried the Emporor’s daughter. There aviis a report that the British ship of war Vanguard, lias been sunk by the Turkish squadron.

Todd a teller in the Bank of Liverpool, has been arrested for stealing £SOOO. The Chartists. —A few meetings have been held of these men, and a few more fights and arrests. Troubles in Turkey and Egypt.— The Sul tan Mahmoud is dead, supposed to have been poisoned. The “Monitenr,” of July 27th, contained the following telegraphic despatch from Marseilles of the events of the 25th: — “Thedeath of the Sultan was known at Al exandria on the Bth; and on the following day a Turkish schooner readied Alexandria with Negib Bey. kiaya of the Captain Paeha on board, charged to announce to the Viceroy of Egypt the presence of the Captain Pacha of Shutkio, on his way to Rhodes, and to propose to place Ihe Turkish fleet under to Viceroy’s protection, in order to guard .-igainsl the trou bias likely to follow the Sultan’* death in Tur key. A reply was dispatched hy Mehemet Ali in the steamboat called the Black Sea, to Ihe Pacha, but its tenor is unknown. On the 10th, Askiff Effendi. sent hy the Sultan to announce the. death of his father, reached Alexandria.” This corroboration of the defection of the Turkish Admiral with the fleet is bad enough. But worse and still more startling tiding* have, we fear, to lie added to it. These are, that the members of the new Divtin, or Government, at Constantinople, have taken a step similar to that of the Capital) Paeha, and have written to Mehemet Ali to put themselves and the Sultan under his protection, offering him the heredit ary government of Syria and Egypt, and in viting Mehemet Ali to Constantinople to re organize ihe Government, All this is said to have been done, by Russia; and that England. France, and Austria will stop those measures, and preserve the independence of Turkey. Constantinople, July Bth. —We areherein tiie greatest consternation, and fear the worst. Hafiz Pacha has lost a battle against Ibrahim Pacha between Aleppo and the Euphrates. Ibraham Pacha, who was more and more ap prehensive that the presence of the ‘Ottoman army would cause an jnsurrenction in Syria, has attacked the army of Hafiz Pacha, and overthrown it after a short action. The Turks behaved in a most shameful manner; they betook themselves Ae-ffight after the first can nonade, and it improbable that Hafiz Pacha has scarcely been/hie to save or rally a third part ofhisa’rmy. This'blow is decisive,and places the throne of the Young Sultan in extreme dan ger, who is but just pioclamcd. On the 25th ult., between Airitab and Bir, Ibraham Pacha ordered a general attack of the whole army. His force was arrayed in three divisions, of which the centre was comman ded by Soliman Pacha (formerly Colonel Sol ves, a Frenchman,) while he lea the right wing in person. The attack war commenced at daylight, and before ten o’clock the whole Turkish panic-struck force had literally “ thrown down their arms” and fled; 140 pieces of cannon, a field of battle covered with mus kets, through away in their flight, their camp enquipage and tb< military chest abandoned, form a rich sp.nl, which will go far towards indemnifying Metheraet Ali for tiie expenses of his defence. On this news reaching Captain Pacha, the Admiral of the Murkish fleet, he immediately sailed for Canida to give the fleet up to Me hemet Ali. The French Admiral Lalande, who lies off the Dardanelles with some ship of the line, has not hindered the Captain Pacha from sailing in consequence of this declara tion. The Prince de Joinviile had reached Constantinople. Lord Ponsonby had written to Admiral Walker, ordering him to leave the command of the Turkish fleet, if the Captain Pacha did not return to Turkey immediately, Married, In Bns’on, onthe Ulh inst. by the Rev.

HAVING acquired an envied celebrity ns an An ti Dyspeptic and Anti Billinusremedy, und thin reputation being fully sustained by the high charac ter of its testimonials, and the constantly increasing dernund for the medicine, it is only necessary for the proprietor to continue the camion to thepublicaguinst mistaking other preparations which are introduced as Tomato Medicines, for the true Tomato Pills. As ungenerous and invideous allusions to this med icine have been published by the proprietor of a very different preparation, called Miles’ Extract of Toma to,’ evidently intended to impair the confidence so long reposed ill Phelps’ Tomato Pills, it is proper for the proprietor to request the public to investigate the. source of tl)e,se publications before lirey are indu ced to credit their truth and honesty. An inquiry, for this purpose, n tide at Brunswick, Ohio, where the proprietor of‘Miles’ Extract’ resided for a long time and commenced his‘pill career,’ will be sufficient to render harmless these aspersive insin uations. Having no desire to injure ‘Miles’ Extract I would suggest no further inquiry, and am satisfied to risk the Compound Tomato Pills upon their mer its in competition to any preparation purporting to be Tomato.
