Tticstlay Morning, October 1.
Huron Convention
The citizens of Mclntosh County, are re
quested to assemble at the Court-House, in this
city, on Saturday next slh. inst. at 12 o’clock
to select Delegates to attend the Cotton Con
vention to l>e held at Macon on the 22d of Oc
tober mst.
The Election.—Monday next is the day
fixed by law for the election of Representatives
to the next Legislative Assembly of Georgia,
and for the election of a Governor, when, by
the nature of our republican institutions, it be
comes the duty of every ritizen to exercise
the high privilege of expressing through the
ballot box his choice of the men before them
for their suffrages. In the discharge of this
duty, which should be regarded among the
htghet privileges enjoyed by naan, we should
after calm and serious reflection, weighing
w ell the merits and qualifications of those from
among whom we have to select, discarding all
personal preferences and prejudices, east onr
vote* for those w hom we think best qualified,
and most likely to perform u:e duties of the of
fice, with an eye single to his dttiy, ‘‘Clawed
by influence and unbribed by gain.”
V e refer our readers with much pleasure
to the advertisement of Messrs. Anderson &
Cos. w hich appears in to day’s paper, and while
on the subject would suggest to the merchants
generally of that city, the probable advantage
which would accrue to their interests by ex
tending their advertising favors to the news
papers in the interior and tipper parts of the
State. We have watched with infinite sails
faction, the commercial prosperity of‘‘La belle j
Savannah,” and hail with peculiar gratifies- j
lion, each new evidence of the enterprise of
her citizens, opening as it does in this instance,
a channel, for foreign intercourse, between the
mother country and the Stateof Georgia. The |
relationship in which Savannah stands to the I
interior of our Stale as a commercial entrepot.
should not be lost sight of, and we feel assured
that the best medium through which it can be
made known, is the newspaper press of the in- I
terior.
The weather for the past week has been |
any thing but agreeable. The mornings are j
cold enough for fires—mid-day hot enough to
broil chickens in the sun. We have not had a
good shower of rain for nearly two months, !
and unless the clouds soon shed tears, and that
copiously too, the noble AJatamaha will
completely dryed up. The river opposite the
city is quite salt at high tide. Our citizens
ought to take the precaution to wear thick 1
clothes and flannels, for the rest of the season, !
live temperately and avoid the night air. By ;
following this advice they will cheat our Doc
tors wTiAhy the by, are a most worthy and j
deserving class of citizens, and regret to say
that we cannot wish them abundance of busi
ness.
OUR COUNTRY—-JJDUCAtTOjB
Having briefly, but we hope comprehensively, j
spread before our readers the immense advantages I
we enjoy.in this happy country, both in a political
and commercial point of view, it now becomes an im
portant objevi ofcnqniry to ascertain the best mode
of permanently securing our resources and free insti- j
unions, and handing them down through a long line I
of patriotic posterity. The answer to this enquiry is
plain and simple ; and next to invoking the blessing
of Divine Providence upon ourenrl. avors, we believe
that it nay be summed up in a single word —Ewer- j
tion I—public, national,moral and general education, j
The knowledge of the people in the one grand and
source, from which springs the capacity for self
government —from which arises a knowledge of our
own political rights, and a respect for the rigltts of
others The republics of Athens, Rome and Car
thage, have passed away—and why 1 because there I
people were ignorant. They lacked education ■, and ,
were chiefly skilled in the destructive science of war
and stimulated by a spirit of aggression, instead of I
cultivating the arts of peace and industry, and en
couraging a spirit of commerce. In the United States
v/e regard our political system in a different manner
to all the republican nations that have gone before!
us. Everyday that dawns increasesthe conviction’ i
that a diffusion of knowledge amongst our children
is the surest, most rational, and most virtuous mode
of Mndering them good citizens, Christians, husbands,
fathers and friends; and of civilizing and making)
happy every member of their respective families.— !
By education, they are snabled ut understand and ap
preciate the benefits they enjoy under the glorious
Constitution founded by their fathers in ‘76. By ed
ucation they learn to subdue their passions, to render
them subservient to reason, to distinguish virtue from
vice,and patriotism from faction. By education, they
are enabled to make the most triumphant progress in |
the arts and sciences, and to improve and elevate the ‘
literature of their nativeland. In a word, education
isatalisman which enriches the mind, improves the ’
understanding, refines the manners and reforms the
heart.
“Such being its value, as proved by the great mass
of mankind in all ages of the world—how much does
it behove the American citizen, to foster and encour.
age it to the utmost of his power! How proud ought
he to feel, when he looks around him and surveys the j
hundreds of public schools in almost every state of
the Union! How gratifying and ennobling the re
flection, that these are not derived from individual
benevolence, but that they are an emanation ofligL t
from the liberal Institutions of Republicanism! The
minds of children are not degraded by a recollection
that they are being educated as the recipients of char
ity—no! but they feel a deeper and tender affection i
for their country, when they reflect that they are en- J
titled tothe boon as a right, as children of citizens, —
and that their earliestthoughts are fixed upon aGov- j
emmentalsystem, under which they- can In’ instruc
ted in useful knowledge and brought up in indepen
dent principles. It is calculated that there are near
ly 4.000,0iXt of children in tho United States, who
| ought to be under the influence of schools , and we
| believe we are not going too far, in asserting that
the majority ofthem do so;—that is, they are either
enjoyingthe advantages ofpu blic or private tuition.
| If we take a retrospect of the last 50 years, when
schools were few, and* a majority of the rising gen
eration imperfectly educated —surely we shall see
abundant reason to admire and feel gratified with the
results of our Institutions, in enlightening and civili
zing mankind. In (hat short space of time, we have
done more as a nation, than any other people in the
lapse of many centimes ; and truly we have exceeding
great cause of rejoicing, in contemplating a glorious
and an intellectual harvest.
The mind ofmau may be compared to a mine, in
which the riches metals and gems lie buried in dark
ness or it may be likened to a field of fertile soil,
covered with thorns and weeds, for want of the ex
ertions of the husbandman. Education is the mi
ner, who brings the gems and pure gold out of the
earth, and circulates them amongst mankind ; or it is
the husbandman, who renders the field productive,
yielding corn and wine and oil; and who covers the
land with grain, and the wilderness with flowers and
delicious fruit.
A Royal Sacrifice.—Queen Victoria and
t her mother have made up a little family quar-
I re! by sacrificing a few friends. M e perceive
j by the English papers that the Queen has dis-
I missed Sir James Clark and discountenanced
j his family, nnd the Dutchess of Kent, not to
! be excelled in courtesy, has sacrificed Sir John
Conroy ami discountenanced his family. We
| believe Roman history affords ag< od prece
i dent for this proceeding—the Triumvirate who
succeeded Jnlius Caesar put to death a friend
a piece.
Mobile is desolated by the Yrilow f‘ver. Even with
its present population, which we imagine must
be at the most but some 300(1, in nine days from the
Ist, to 9tll September, inclusive, 149 of its
have been consigned to the tomb. By a letter com
municated tothe Columbus Enquirer, the symptoms
are thus described : “Its approach is as first recog
tli; and by a child, then follows a violent pain in tlte
I head ai?d the back particularly, accompanied, by
pains in all (he limbs. If(akrn in (hese first eviden
ces of its existence, it is controllable, say the phy
sicians. If allowed to make any progress, death en
sues, and the victim expires vomiting matter or blood
Charleston Augusta, Mobile and New-Orleans,
are at present the scenes of the most appalling, nnd
somew hat similnr, disease.—There is but faint hope
| that the ravages of the destroyer will be stayed, but
by the return of severe frost.— Mil. Recorder.
The fatal disease which has desolated Augusta, we
regret to say has not, from ull accounts abated a jot
in its malignity. There must be a mere Itundful of
inhabitants,comparatively, in thar'citv at present,to
be assailed by this dreed raveger ; and it is the only
alleviating circumstance which at all relieves the sad 1
picture. We trust that those who me in comparative
j safety by removal from their homes, and that those,
j whose business may seem to require their presence
in thestriken city will not tempt their fate by going
[thereuntil such accounts are received as may war
| rent them in doing so.— Mil. Recorder.
The lunt Brunswick Advocate nai/s :—Wc
arc requested to state that a match rare will
come off in our harbor on the 14th of next
month, between Gen. Charles Floyd’s race
j boat “Lightning,” and Mr. John Gignilfiat’s
■ “C. C. 8.” Distance to be rowed half a mile.
J The race w ill be closely contested, ami no
doubt will afford our aquatic friends much
pleasure.
The Governor of this State has issued his
proclamaton offering a reward of two hundred
I dollars for the apprehension of Clms. Rossig
nol. who killed Capt. Thomas E. Hardee at
St. Marys, on the 30th ult. This, in addition
to the sum offered by the friends ofthe decea
: sed, and the inhabitants of St. Marys, increa
! ses the reward to $2200.
Morns Multicaulis.— lt is staled in the Sa-
I vamiaH Republican, that forty thousand dol
lars has been offered and refused by argentle
m to of that city fur two millions of the Mortis
Multicaulis buds. “
Pennsylvania Loan.—The, Pennsylvania
Loan of two millions and fifty-four thousand
dollars, authorized by a law of last session, for
improvement purposes, has been taken by the
U. S. Bank, at an interest of five per cent.
The following motto on Queen Victoria’s
garters, (an article of the newest style, and
now all the rage,) shews in bold relief, tlte vir
gin Queen’s philanthropy—
“ England expects every man to do his duty.”
We rather think, as a generaf principle, wo
men have more philanthropy than men.
Darien Bank Bills.—The Darien Herald i
in copying the article from the Federal Union
j relative to the refusal ofthe Central Bank and
States Treasury to receive the Darien Bank
Bills, says:—
“In order to counteract the injurious influ
! ence of tlte paragraph, we beg to state, on the
authority of a friend, that the Bank of Darien
will resume specie payments in the course of a
I very short time, and in season to meet the
wants of the approaching fall business,”
We have seen letters Irorn Darien and New
York, by w hich we are induced to belive that
the Darien Bank will be able to resume specie
| payments within a short lime, say the latter
part of October, or the first of November, and
would therefore advise holders of bills not to
| part with them at a sacrifice.— Georgia Jour
nal.
The Augusta (Geo.) Daily News says
that at least two thirds of the deaths that
occurred in that city, between the 18th of
July and the sth of September have been
occasioned by fright. We have no doubt
but the editors are correct. Panic is a fruit
ful source of disease and death.
Food for the Fever. —A ship arrived at

be living when frost comes, we do not be
lieve, unless they- leave the city. llow are

NEW YORK, SEPT. 20.
Arrival or the British Queen.
The British Queen is just up. She passed
the foot of W all-street nt 10 minutes past
2o’clock with 200 passengers. The news is,
that Cotton is selling freely at Liverpool, but
at l 8 decline on American, and heavy at the
close. Sales of the week ending Aug. 28th,
33,840 bales. Thu weather was fine and bread
stuffs declining a good deal. Money matters
stand as before, though stocks have n strong
tendency downwards. The Pasha of Egypt
has positively refused to give up the Turkish
fleet in compliance with the demand of the
great powers. There is no later news from
Canton.
Here affairs are not altered from yesterday.
Cotton is quiet. Common brands of Genties
see flour have been sold at $5,18 and Ohio nt
S<’> a 6,12. Corn 75 cents. No change in
foreign bills. Sterling at 9] alO prem.
THE NEWS FROM ENGLAND.
Shadows again—doubts—all things the din
gy’ mud color of confusion—sales of Colton
large enough but the price not very satisfact
ory—the grain crop in England good, nnd in
general secured, hut followed by little of the
relief that was so confidently predicted from
such an event—the Bank of England studying
out new pressures, and this time determined
to put the screws where they will be felt by
the country banks, the manufacturers and cot
ton—gold still a desideratum, as the logicians
say, and the Emperor of Russia much blamed
for his specie propensities—Mehemet Ali sel
ling Cotton largely to pay his tinny, so that
the “affairs of the East” arc something to us
this time—the Bank of England accused of
subscribing half a million sterling of Ejcchepuer
Bills which she had not, to the Chancellor’s
new debt, and then making it good somewhat
after the manner of the U. 8, Bank, by selling
the said half million at a discount to pay for it,
stuffing the market and making holders look
blue—preparations on a large scale for another
defeat by Turkey, the Viceroy of Egypt as
obstinate as a mule, and ffte representatives of
the “five powers” terribly puzzled at having
run foul of a fact once in their lives—rumors
of successes of the Anglo-Indian army, be
lieved by those who wish it so; defeats and
victories, advances nnd retreats, tnutders and
manifestoes as thick as ever in Spain—the
French sneering nt Queen Victoria’s pro-Gnl
lican courtesies across the Channel, nnd t ie
English looking grim in return —Such is the
substance of the news by the last arrival; ex
cellent food for speculation, but for matter of
all the light in it, little better than so much im
ported darkness.
Death OF Col. Blinding.—We regret to learn
from the Charleston papers that Col Bi.andino, Pres
ident ofthe Board ofDirCCtors oftlct South Western
Railroad Bank,died in Charleston on the 21st alt.
We perceive that the citizens of Glynn coun

Macon Sept. 21th.—A draught is now
prevailing, probably to a greater extreme
than has been known in this country since
its settlement. In the Cherokee counties
ns many as three fourths of the creeks and
branches, and many ofthe springs are dried
up. A great distress and inconvenience is
suffered by the stoppage of nearly all the
Mills, and the impracticability of obtaining
Meal and Flour. In some parts, corn and
wheat have been sent from fifty to seventy
five miles to be ground ; arid ull the Mills
now running are literally crowded with
hags. Vegetation is parched up, and the
leaves arc tailing from the Lees or wither
ing branches. The dust in the roads lies
like a bed of hot ashes and rises in clouds,
almost sufficient to suffocate the traveller.
Notwithstanding this long and severe
drought, the crops of corn is very fine, ow
ing to frequent showers at the proper sea
son, which moistened the surface of the
earth without penetrating it so as to raise
the streams. The wheat crop is also very
good.
In this vicinity the draught is also ex
treme, but fewer of the water courses are
dry. The Cotton crop is suffering materi
ally from it, and will be much short of the
anticipation formed a few weeks since.

More Trouble in the Canadas. —Wo
ure informed by many travellers recently
returned from the borders, that fresh trou
bles are brewing in Canadian affairs, and
that as soon as the winter fully sets in, it
will begin to show itselfin various shapes.
We are very reluctant to believe these
stories—but in case any fresh atttrnps
should he made, the American and Colonial
authorities ought to prepare betimes to put
a stop to every symptom. The President
has recently made a progress along the
New York border, but we have mote
hopes from the commanding presence of
i General Scott than from any of those iti
nerant politicanls, smelling out voters and
picking up popularity like reaper girls pick
ing up straws. A few days since, at Niaga

Cotton Establishment.
An Investment of $25,000
IS wanted from a company of five gentlemen
($5,0i1!) each,) for the establishment of a cot
ton factory, on one of the most eligible situa
tions in tlie Southern States, 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 bur, with a wide and open
view of the sea; forming a crescent. Said
Creek having a depth of water at a bluff lan
ding (where the location of said factory shall
be made,) of at least II feet water; —in the
rear also of which is an excellent body of pine
timber furnishing the necessary fuelforasteum
Engine.
In the vicinity are several saw mills, from
which can be got all the necessary materials,
in the progress of the buildings.—The site
also being land locked, offers a safe deposit for
lumber. The advantages of such an establish
ment in ihe neighborhood is obvious. Thclo
cation being a perfectly healthy summer re
treat; the vicinity immediate to Darien, where
the choice and selection of cotton can bo made,
or at Macon—with the advantages beside to
neigboriug planters in giving employment to
young female servants who can be profitably
•employed in preparing the raw material, and
yarn for market. Investments of this nature,
have uniformly resulted profitably and safe in
the upper part of this State. The establish
ment in view will be the only one known on the
whole southern sea hoard. The sum of $11,500
being taken up, any number of gentlemen wish
ing toeinbark here will signify Hie same,Pro Mr.
Isaac Snow, of Darien, (P. M.) with their

It is presumed that 20 per cent on the stock
will be all that will be called lor to commence

Mclntosh County Academy,
in Darien.
THIS school will be re opened od the first of No
vember, next—and every attention will be paid to
the thqruugh instruction nnd rapid improvement of
the children and youth of both sexes, who may be
entrusted to it.
The buildings arc pleasant nnd commodious, and
the school is well supplied with the best maps ami
globes : and all that is necessary for the proper illus
trationof the different subjects of study.
Mn. C. S. DOD, who has been induced o re
sign the Professorship of Mathematics, at Jefferson
College (Pa. )V nd assume the duties ofPrincipleofthe
Institution, graduated at Princeton, (N. J.)and receiv
ed the second degree in the arts m the same institution.
He was one year an instructor in thcEdgehill Semi
nary nt Princeton— part of the time in the Greek lan
guage and part of the time in Mathematics. lie
was also one year classical tutor at Franklin College,
Athens (Ga.) whence he was called tothe Professor
ship of Mathematics nt Canonsburg, Pa.
The course of study nnd the mode of instruction
at these institutions being perfectly familiar to the
Principal, the patronage of tltoseparents who wish to
have their sons prepared to enter Franklin College the
Colleges of New-Jersey, Jefferson College, or any
similar institution, is respectfully solicited for this
Academy. Tlte Mathematical treaties used in tjie
School will he those prepared by Professor Davis of
West Point, which are now’ used not only at the
Military Academy, lml also in almost every respec
table College in the country.
Young men preparing; for West-Point, or for the
Profession of Civil Engineering, or for any profes
sion requiring considerable Mathematical attain
ments, can be thoroughly trained and enrried through
any Mathematical course that may be desired, how
ever extensive, atthis school.
It is worthy of remark that it is a common subject
of complaint with regard to most of our academies
that the young men whom they send to enter College
higher than the Freshman class are almost invaria
bly deficient in Mathematics.
Mn, Don, hns taught French fur the last two years
to the students of Jefferson College, and will give
instructions in that language to all the pupils ofthe
Academy, whose parents may desire it.
A competent instructress willbe procured from the

DR. PHELPS’ COMPOUND
TOMATO PILLS
HAVING acquired an envied celebrity as nri An
ti Dyspeptic and Anti-Billiousremedy, and lids
reputation being fully sustained by the high charac
ter of its testimonials, and the constantly increasing
demand for the medicine, it is only necessary for the
proprietor to continue the caution to the public against
mistaking other preperations which are introduced
,us Tomuio 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 tlie confidence so
long reposed in Phelps’ Tomato Pills, it is proper
for the proprietor to request the public to investigate
the source of these publications before they arc indu
ced to credit their truth and honesty.
An inquiry, for this purpose, made at Brunswick,
Ohio,where the proprietor of‘Miles’ Extract’ resided
for a long fTHiC and commenced his ‘pm career/ will
be sufficient to render harmless these aspersive insm
uations. Having no desire to injure ‘Miles’ Extract
I would suggest no further iwjuiry, and am satisfied
to risWhe Compound Tomato Pills upon their mer
its in competition to any preparation purporting to
be Tomato. While the effort to blend other prepa
rations to the true Tomato Pills are continued, per
sons wishing the genuine medicine should be partic
ular to notice that they bear the signature of the pro
prietor, G. R. PHELPS, M. D. but not an engrav
ed portrait.
