PA RUIN’ HDBAtD. ’ 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 New Orleans, from Havre with about sixty . passengers—chiefly poor Swiss and Ger mans, on the 4th inst. The Times re marks: It makes the heart of the philan trnpist bleed to witness men in the full ruddiness and prime of health thus walking into a grave yard. That ten of the sixty will be living when frost comes, we do not be lieve, unless they- leave the city. llow are j they to do this? The Great Western, the largest boat but one of all that sail ou the inland Waters of the U. States, was discovered to be on j fire, on leaving Detroit, on the 4th inst. and all hut the hull and engine was destroyed, j This boat co’st over SIOO, 000.

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 ty are called on to assemble nt Brunswick, on the sth of October inst. to send delegates to the cotton Convention, to be held in Macon, on the 22d inst.

NEIIEMIAII. 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. Messenger. 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.

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. ’OfTTor Sale at (he DA IIIIIKHERALD office. Aug. 20. Georgia—Mclntosh County. WHEREAS, .Samuel M.
