The editor of the New Orleans True Ameri can is most unfortunate in his office—all his workmen are sick or dead, and he is obliged to depend on the boys about the office to get out his paper. v 1 Tkxas.—We congratulate our Texas friends on the agreement of France to recognise the pendence of their prosperous republic. % ung more need be wanted to convince the worij how eminent have been her strides to wards power and greatness. France, the coun try of distinguished statesmen and warm phi lanthropists—-of men celebrated in science and arts—France, the great pioneer in the progress j of liberal principles in Europe and the friend of Americatoo — France has signified her in tention to embrace to her bosom the infant re public and watch it with the care of an old [sister. Were we a Texan wc should be ela j ted beyond measure—as it is we are in rap tures for our friends there, and are dazzled by the ten thousand brilliant images that the bare announcement of the fact calls up. We hope soon to the details of a treaty ofcominerce (which shall secure to both the “high contrac ting parties” infinite advantages. One of the Africans of the Armistad, named ‘Antonio Simon, died on Wednesday night in prison. He was brought to New Haven in a feeble state, and was one of the leaders in the : revolt. Sale or Morus Multicauus.—Thirteen bun dred and fifty Morus Multicaulis trees were sold in Wilmington, N. C. on Tuesday last, of all sizes, from one foot to eight, at forty-eight cents per tree —the purchaser paying for them on the spot, and taking all future risks of the season. Distress in Ireland. —The late English pa pers furnish further details of distress and starvation in various parts of Ireland. A letter from a clergy man was read in the House of Commons, which stated that the misery of the people of'Newport, in the county of Mayo, was frightful to think of. Mr. O’Conncl said that owing to the failure of the second potato crop, the people were on the verge of starva tion. He spoke with a knowledge of the state of things in Kerry, in which county the gen try had made every aacrificeand done all they could to alleviate the sufferings of their poor neighbors. The case was of that pressing na ture, that it was absolutely necessary that something should he done in the way of relief, without the least delay. Mr. Sergeant Jackson said that he had re ceived four letters on this subject from Dandon and its neighborhood, and, to mention one fact only, it appeared that, of a population of 7,000 persons, there were3,ooo in a state bordering on starvation, and 1,000 utterly destitute. A very small amount of relief from the Govern ment, promptly administration, would save great numbers of the population from perish ing. Macon, Rcpl. 20. We do not remember ever having had to record the prevalence of such a drought as the present. We have not had a drop of rain for several weeks—nor a good soaking shower for a number of months ! Ihe con sequence is, many of the wells & springs are dry. Streams nevei before known to fail, are now exhausted. The noble Oc mulgee is reduced to a narrow streamlet, fordable in almost any place opposite or near the city. The roads are ground up to ashes ; and the air is filled with an impalpa ble powder, almost suffocating. The crops have been materially injured. : Late corn is entirely cut off. The Cotton j crop throughout Georgia, will not be half | as great as the prospect promised on the first of August! Wc doubt whether it will be greater than last year’s. Gardens ars literally burnt up. Potatoes, Peas, Turnips, &c. are very short. COTTON arrives in small quantities. About 10 cents is considered the current; price. Tiie Florida War.— We hear reports that arrangements are making for arenewal of the Florida war.— It is said that Gen. Scott, or 1 Gen. Macomb will have the command, and that an army of twenty thousand men will be sentintothe Territory this winter. We ate happy tff perceive a disposition anddetermina- liou'on the part of our Government to clear the Seminoles at all hazards, from the Terri tory. We are happy to announce the arrival of Mr. Keadle. of Va., Agent of the Company about to establish the new line of communica tion between the North and New Orleans, via this city, an account of which we gave in our last week’s impression. Mr. K. is already ma king arrangements to build the necessary bridges, &c. between this place and Tallahas see, the most important of which is across the Satilla, some thirty miles above this point. Mr. K. informs us that teams are already pur chased and all the necessary arrangements made, and that the line will certainly go into operation next month .—Brunswick Adv. Valley op Willows, Sept. 18. j To the Editor of the Herald. Sir: In perusing your paper of lha 10th, Inst. I find our rights assailed by “Fides,” lli- I asmuch, we are charged in giving our signs | tures in aid (I trust with many virtuous ones) to put down the retail law, and supporting the Temperance cause. However novel this may appear, or singular for females to support their j rights, and plead their justification in the pub j lie prints, 1 trust sir, you will pardon one (for the first time) having come forth in this way. Claiming your indulgence in its publication, assuring you I know trot the author who aasail ledus: nor would I be personal thus being assailed by “Fides,” in regretting to see the fairer portion of our community having caught the “Temperance mania,” and as he beholds j them in his extensive charity, “precious and | delicate lilies,” signing pledges to abstain from j the use of ardent spirits , and with much sur prise and astonishment says: “whoever thought | they were in the habit of indulgence in the ! use of brandy and gin /” and believes it an | “ H gc of wonders,” concluding with his recom mendations, &o. and as a further remark “na ture never intended them to mingle with the affairs of State,” but when he touches the care and attention they should have to their ‘Fa thers, Husbands and Brothers ,” (and I \t’!H add their sons too) I am exercised as one who i feels deeply in all those relations. Should it j not awaken the most abdurate heart, in witnes sing those brutalized, from the effects of ar- ! dent spirits —and is it to be supposed that any government, having the power to ameliorate aud establish luws, useful for peace, harmony and good order; would sanction one in rcciv- ] ing taxes paid for the indulgence, the dire j effect of which, calls forth a loud protest to all! j Let the following queries be responded, Mr. , | Editor, not indeed as applying to Darien, and this community only, but the country at large, and what a sorrowful array ! ! 1. What number ofdistilleries, taverns, grog shops and stores, were ardent spirits have been sold, are there now, or have there been, within ten years, in your immediate vicinity, I or within your personal knowledge ? 2. What have been the effects upon the char- j acter, habits and health, of those persons gen-! erally, who have been employed in the sever- ■ al branches of business and traffic, specified in the first question and upon the condition and circumstances of their families 7 3. \\ hat, in your opinion, is the proportion in vonr neigborhood, between the number of those who have died victims to strong drink, within ten years, and the number of moderate drinkers who have become confirmed drunk ards, during the same period 7 4. What has been the result of your obser vation, in reference to the habits of the sons of drunkards, of moderate drinkers, and of dealers in intoxicating liquors 7 5. How many tulcnled and promising young men, of your personal acquaintance, have been utterterly ruined in fortune, prospects, charac ter and health, and have gone down to the drunkard’s grave, within ten years 7 6. How many families in the circle of your acquaintance have been wrecked, desolated and reduced to poverty, within ten years, by intemperance 7 7. How many beautiful and excellent young ladies have you known, who have had all their bright prospects shrouded in dispair and have been subjected to want, neglect and barberous abuse, by marrying temperate drinkers, who speedily became abandoned drunkards 7 8. What is a probable estimate of the num ber of broken hearted wives and mothers, and of agonised sisters and daughters, within your knowledge, whose crushing calamities have, been caused by the drunken degradation oft’ husbands or sons, of brothers or fathers 7 0. How many distressed widows and desti tute orphans, has drunkenness made in your vi cinity, within the last ten years 7 10. How many professional men, Clergy men, Lawyersor Physicians, have you known as the victims of strong drink ; having lost character, standing, business, health or life, by the habit of inebriation 7 11. How many drunken School Masters have you known within ten years 7 12. How many intemperate Ladies have you known, and in how great a portion of in stances was their degradation caused by the example and conduct of their husbands 7 13. What length of time is usually requisite, according to your opinion and observation, to conduct a moderate drinker into the territory of confirmed drunkenness, and an habitual drunkard to his grave ? 14. We would respectfully inquire of Min isters and Church Officers, in what proportion : the cases of apostacy and excommunication, I in their several churches, may justly be traced I to this destructive vice. * 15. We also respectfully solicit from Judges, Sheriffs and prosecuting Attorneys, written statements in reply to the inquiry—what is the j proportion in which deeds of violence and blood in this State, result from the madness of | intoxication. 16. What effects have been produced upon j the blacks, in your vicinity, by the use of ar j dent spirits, and by their access to grog-shops, j in destroying value, health and life ? 17. How many ruined estates, desolate and abandoned habitations, families reduced to beggary and scattered through the western wilds ; and how many scenes of domestic sor row and anguish, of remorse and despair, which no language can portray, can you now call to mind, as the the fruits of intemperance, within your personal knowledge ? 18. Finally, we earnestly request Physicians and Clergymen, to furnish their candid testi mony in answer to tl*e concluding question, i viz : in what proportion have the fatal disea ! ses, of all the young and middle aged men, whose death beds and funerals you have of- ! , ficially attended, been produced, directly or i remotely by intemperate habits ? And when I speak as feeling deeply indeed, ; let it not be understood as arising from selfish jor persona! interest. No sir, in that respect, I wmm county j am happy ; assuring you, I have not a charge of that nature against any one. to whom I ntn united, in any of the relations mentioned. Feel ings of philanthropy alone, has prompted us, I trust: and sympathy for such us are unhap pily connected, with which “Fides” should be ! similarly aroused. The following letter from a drunkard’s wife I is all in keeping with the subject before us : (fVem the Hampshire Ornette ] LETTER FROM a DRUNKARD’S WIFE. Mr. Editor. — The following letter discloses the feelings of*n affectionate wife, in making her lust effort to reclaim an intemperate husband. Despair ing of his reform, she had once left him ; and after a seperation of five years (during which time he had abandoned his cups,) she consented, though contrary to the wishes of her friends, again to live with him. For two years he adhered to Ins solemn engagements, and abstained from the use of intoxicating drinks. At the expiration of this period he again yielded to temptation, and returned to his former habits. At this lime the heart-stricken wife penned the following letter and left it upon his table. The effect of it was to produce a thorough and lasting reformation. The insertion of it in your paper, may give it still further influence. It is ns follows; Dear Husband. —With a heart oppressed by dis appointed hope, lam compelled to address you. In reviewing the past year, and calling to mind God’s distinguished goodness to us, in giving us health, and all the blessings of this life, and especially, do mestic pence and endearing friendship, 1 find that I have placed my fond heart with too much confidence on you. Permit me to revert for a moment, to the time when wc renewed our covenant vows. After a seperation i of five years, we were permitted to meet again in this world. (4od hud seen fit in his unbounded goodness, to carry us tn.'ougb scenes of trial and danger, and again to permit us l? behold our little family once more seated at our own ha, n ”V fireside. You will re member the struggle I hud aboul the lime I consented to leave my father’s house for you.” sake. Every friend I hail, I forsook for you, and threw myself en- , tirely on your mercy and protection. You hail iH 6 111 j vour power to treat me as you pleased—to make me happy or miserable. For two years my dear friend, you have shown tome and tothe surrounding world that it was your privilege to make your family as happy as you had it in your power to do. You de nied yourself every unreasonable gratification, and passed through every temptation, and had gained as l fondly hoped, a complete victory over yourself. To your children you have been a kind, tender, and affectionate father, and to your utmost, have endea vored to promote the comfort and happiness of your family. Surely, my dear husband, you have given the world reason to call us ‘the happy family.’ By your kind treatment to me, you have bound up the heart, the sorrowing heart you had previously well migh broken. Whenever business called you from home, (as it did almost daily,) I was waiting calmly for your return, happy to meet pou with a cheerful heart and smiling countenance. I too fondly believed that you would prove faithful to me to the end of life. I believe your family was deared to you far dearer to you than all the vain pleasures you could find on earth. I had 100 fondly hoped that our home was the centre of our enjoyments ns well as mine. Our evenings were spent in cheerfulness—our nights in quietness. The hours of midnight did not wit ness as formerly the trembling heart, the departed rest of your companion, waiting in fearful suspense for the return of him who is so dear to us all. And now, my dear companion, permit me serious ly to inquire, whether those days are gone never to return! Do yon intend to make me wretched, when it is in your power to make me happy 1 Old if you have no regurd for me, shall I plead in vain for those innocent babes of whom you are the father! Must it be sadly felt and awfully realized, that these chil dren are lo behold their dear father, their earthly pro tector forsaking them, and joining the company of drunkards! <3, my heart sickens at the thought of beholding you one oftheir number! The sun which so recently shone with such brightness on our path, ami cheered our hearts, and inspired our bosoms with hope, is veiled in sadness; and the clouds seem ready lo burst upon us. O, my God, if I have ever known thee in sincerity, in mercy remember me now, in this hour of conflict and deep sorrow. Give me, O, my God, wisdom from on high, to discharge my duty aright to my dear family. But is this stern enemy unconquerable! Has lie entered our peaceful, happy dwelling, and robbed us of all we held dear on eurth—and must lie reign here never lo depart! If it must be so, then, O my God, reconcile me to my unhappy fate, and prepare me to exchange worlds. I feel like n criminal, condemned to die, and for the. last time pleading for life. It is in your power to preserve l hat life or to destroy it. Yes, it is on you, my dear huslmnd, that my future destiny for this world depends. And whatis your decision!—Who is to gain the victory! Must your reigning thirst be obeyed at the expense of wretchedness and misery to yourself and family! If you say it must, then (are well to ul! hope and hgppmess on earth. But as long as God sees fit to spare my life, 1 will prove myself faithful and true to you. All that I can do to minis ter to your comfort, these hands shall cheerfully per form. No thing shall be done, on my heart to hinder your enjoyment, in the path you desire to pursue. My sorrowing heart, I will strive to veil with appar ent cheerfulness, and my duties to my family endeav our sacredly lo discharge. And when I am called to surrender life, and to appear before my Maker, God grant that my dear family may all find a man sion in heaven—a happy home, where sin will never more disturb our quin. This is the desire of her whose happiness you once promised in the presence of God sue redly to regard. May you peruse these lines with kindness, and weigh well their import. Your affectionate, but heart stricken wife. This letter then, cites one of the numberless cases arising from a spexial evil against which, I would raise my voice and subscribe my name to suppress, and which “Fides” must be well aware of, if not estranged to his sex. Too often indeed has it proven a curse to domestic hap piness, and how many other evils and vices to state, would fill volumns, if brought to view. Suffice it, that of domestic happiness alone would call forth all the aid which kind provi denc has instamped in our nature, to wit: sympathy, regard, filial and domestic love, we should bear to those, who are “bone, of our bone, and flesh, of our flesh,” and as you term us those “ precious and dedicate lilies ” we must be truly susceptable of those miseries which from being trained under them many a fam ily is brought to experience : yes, entailed up on their wretchedness and woe, (and Mcln tosh County, is not exempt) with a knowledge of this reality. Should not such a picture awaken the kindly feelings of “Fides” towards “those delicate lilies” in reference to whom, he seems lo exercise so little charity. I can not believe he is so destitute of the fond feel ings of our nature towards an affectionate wife, a devoted sister, and fond sons and daughters, ms to eonsider us merely automatons. Let me ask him, what must be the feelings of those so repeatedly beholding a father devoted to the tippling bar, and when returned to the do micil, so inebriated, his passions excited, fear and dread, depicted upon every countenance —and deathly silence is exercised by all under the influence of fear. And can such a house be esteemed as containing the “settled family, secured and happy V I trust not. If “Fides” is one of a family and moves in that domestic circle, hemust know the responsibility of such a relation. Example and precept, will be his motto, knowing verily the care, fatigue and af fection of a fond mother and wife, in watching over those pledges of their love—these will prompt him to the fulfilment erf duties becom ing his plqce. Should not their hearts be as one, hi the nurture and admonition of those • dear pledges 7 Such will render early itnpres i sihns upon their youthful and tender minds, . | whose salutary offsets will assuredly fit them 1 fora respectable stand in society, and a belter . | life when time closes with them. This will be . hoped for: from the prayers and watchful cares of interesting parents, particularly that of the , mother whose unwearied attention and soli . citude strove to impart to their minds those in structions. Can this be the’ case when not re ciprocated 7 i On the contrary the haunts and pleasure spots of the father can only be found where rice and dissipation delights. Oh, shame! shame ! ! And should we not say, sinful Fa ther 1 Aud is it for this, “Fides” charges the affectionate females In acting out of their ! sphere,—mul recommends them to the atten tion of their wardrobes. He may be assured that the husband, who acts from precept and example, may have a good hope, lie will find in the companion of his bosom, her fond and interesting smiles, his garments kept whole and clean, and their children (the pride of their hearts) interesting and cheering, and culling forth their smiles and grutitude. But it is feared “Fides” is one who has never ex perienced those conjugal relations, as to enjoy that happiness which a well ordered house ‘ must and will experience; ns no happiness on earth, he may be assured, is like unto it. Pray ing he may engage and participate in the same, under such feelings, 1 will venture to say, he I will feel more charity for those “precious and delicate lilies.” One word more, Mr. Editi r, I & I shall rlose. As I said before, this is my first i essay in defence of our rights, it may be con sidered as tho last; assuring Fides, whatever reply he nmv make, it will not be answered; thus should he do sd, I shall have to compare him to the one who challenged his enemy to combat in the field, knowing he was a coward. RACHEL. The Sickness at Augusta.—The epidem ic at Augusta, we are sorry to perceive, has not yet abated. The deaths up to Friday, Sept. 13th, as near ns we can comeat them by the Reports of the Hoard of Health, amount to ninety-seven whiles, and thirteen blacks. If the sparceness of the population betaken into account, the number of deaths occurring daily now, will not fall fur short of what they have been at any time during the prevalence of the disease. Love.— Love in France is a comedy ; in England u tragedy; in Italy an opera seria;in Germany a inelouraine. It is stated at St. Augustine, beyond report, says the Savannah Republican, that Gun. Tay olh has ordered the return to Florida of the 46 Indians captured hy Lieut. Hanson, and 7 oth ers taken by Lieut. Rodney. These Indians will he confined in Fort Marion, St. Augustine, we presume, until further orders. For our selves nothing surprises us —and the bare cir cumstance of these savages being wafted about, as it were for their health between Carolina and Florida, convinces us the moreofthe very unstable position of the Government in that section. Gen. Taylor appears to stick close * to his quarters at Tampa, but no doubt on this 1 occasion he will visit his friends; this must ap- 1 pear strange too, when approving of the con- ’ duct of Lieut. llanson. * ____ i Non-Committal. —Who sthruck Jim Father- ■ son 7 “demanded u wee voter from tho land of ‘ turf and glory, elbowing himself through the crowd assembled at the poll, and intimating a j bloody nose and black eyes to any one who dured use the first person singular in his reply 1 —“ouniyshow me the man who knocked down ‘ Jim Paliierson”—and bis little red hands re- ‘ solved themselves into fists, and his little voice strunggled up from his belly in an attempt to ’ be deep—“onnly show me the man that knock- 1 cd down Jim Putherson.” “I knocked him 1 down,” said a voter, stepping from the crowd, ‘ “and what have you to say about it 7” “By 1 my sowl, and ye did it like a man,” replied our ‘ Mars, bowing very corteously. Tomato Pills.—Feeling it our duty at all 1 times to make known to the world at large, [ whatever may tend to advance their comfort ■ and happiness, and as at this season, silkness ‘ stalks abroad in all its. varied complexions, we j think we cannot confer a greater blessing on mankind, than by calling attention to an ad- 1 vertisernent in another column, of Dr.Phelps’ justly celebrated Tomato Ph.i.s. From the ‘ accounts we have received of their effects in various complaints, such as sick head-ache, ‘ dyspepsia, we feel no hesitation in recommen ding them to the world as a safe family med ciue.—Times. The Wilmington (N. C.) Advertiser of 1 Friday, says that rice birds arc unusually rare for the season. The rice harvest has commenced, but the easterly storm we had last week, extended to that region, and, it was feared, would do some injury lo the crop, which otherwise was very promising.

HAVING acquired on envied celebrity as nti An ti Dyspeptic and Anti-Billiousremedy, and this reputation being fully sustained by the high charac ter of it3 testimonials, and the constantly increasing demand for the medicine, it is only necessary for the proprietor to continue the caution lo thepublic against mistaking other preperations which arc introduced as Tomato Medicines, for the true Tomato Pills. As ungenerous nnd invideous allusions to litis med icine have been published by the proprietor of a very different preparation,called ‘Miles'Extract ofToma to,’ evidently intended lo impair (lie confidence so long reposed in Phelps’ Tomato Pills, it is proper for the proprietor to request ihe public lo investigate the source ofthese publicatioinoJicfore they are indu ced to credit their truth nnd honesty. An inquiry, for this purpose, ntude nt Brunswick, Ohio,where the proprietor of‘Miles’ Extract’ resided for a long time and commenced his ‘pill career,[ Ayitt be sufficient to render harmless these aspersive insm uations. Having no desire to injure ‘Miles’ Extract I would suggest no further inquiry, nnd tun satisfied to risk the Compound Tomato Pills upon their mer its in competition to an'y preparation purporting to be Tomato. While the effort lo blend other prepa rations lo ihe true Tomato Pills are coWifftuil, per sons w ishing tire genuine medicine should be partic ular to notice that they bear the signature of the pro prietor, G. It. PHELPS, M. D. but not an cngirtT ed portrait. -fCrFor Sale at the DARIEN IIERALD office, Aug. 2IJ. Georgia—Mclntosh County. WHEREAS, Samuel M.
