MELANCHOLY ACCIDENT.
The steamboat Rhode-Islind, bound
from Providence to New-York, and the
sloop Eliza Nichols, bound from New-Y ork
to New-Bedford, unfortunately came in
collission on the evening ot the 7th inst.,
when the latter upset and filled.
The following statement of the circum
stances is made by a number ot gentlemen
who were passengers in the Rhode-Island.
About half past six o'clock P. M. the
steamboat being off Watch Hill, steering to
the westward, the pilot discovered a sloop
nearly ahead, running eastward before the
wind; he immediately put the boat’s helm
hard to port, and stopped the engine. Capt.
Thayer, who was in the cabin at supper
with the passengers, sprang on deck, hail
ed the sloop, and requested that the helm
should be put “ hard down.” This was
done, but two late to prevent the vessels
from coming together. The sloop struck
the boat forward of the wheel-house, ran
her bowsprit into the kitchen, swung round
with violence, drove her main boom thro
the steamer’s quarter, where it broke off
and remained.
The vesselsthen separated, and the sloop
filled, fell over on her side, and sunk nearly
to the water’s edge. Capt. 1 hayer in
stantly lowered his boats and proceeded to
render all possible assistance to those on
board the sloop, consisting of the crew and
five passengers, three of them ladies. Ihe
sloop was found with only a small part of
her larboard quarter above water from
which the crew and male passengers were
taken. The females were unfortunately
below, two of them in the larboard mid
one in the starboard state room. Ihe
companion uav being under water, no ac
cess could be had to the cabin but by cut
ting through the larboard quarter, which
was done with all possible expedition, and
two of the females were taken out alive;
the other being in the starboard state room,
was undoubtedly drowned at the moment
the sloop upset,'as all that part of the ves
sel was immersed.

GEORGIA!!
Wears not in the hubit of triumphing over
< defeated foe, nor as a general principle, do
v.-e hold it as correct; but in the late election
which has just taken place in this State, and
which has terminated with so much honor to
he land of our nativity, we feel that it will be
excusable ip us for giving vent to our feelings.
We rejoice not, that our political opponei ts
have fallen, but that Georgia has thrown off’
me shackles of party, and as in days gone by
letermined to thi k and act for herself. And
our exultation is rendered more intense from
the circumstances attending thecontest- Wh.it
are they? In the first place, our opponents
have used every means that art could devise,
or policy invent, to make the honest, indepen
dent farmers of the country support the man
who is alike opposed to them in feeling and
interest. They have circulated hand bills,
franked printed tickets, and that too in viola
tion of every principle of duty and honor, sent
far and near printed circulars, and even beg.
ged the people to support Mr. Van Buren.—
i But all in vain, the people have risen in their
; might, and have nobly lushed to the burning
temple of liberty and extinguished the flames.
And if our rejoicing could be made still more
acute, the fact that his honor, the Secretary of
State, Mr. Forsyth, was sent here post-haste,
and through the lamp-lighters at Milledgeville,
who are ever ready to do their Master’s will,
(and who at the same timedeseive some cred
it for their obedience,) endeavour to deliver
over the State to the Hero of Kinderhook, and
his more than suitable colleague of the Black
Crossings. But the whole has not yet been
told, to rhe moral and religious man it must
be a source of the proudest satisfaction, to
think that the people are ready and willing to
put down the man who is depraved tn morals
and lost to every feeling of virtue. We have
not yet received a full return from all the
counties, but from what has been received,
the majority for the White ticket and Col.
Dawson will be between 2500 and 3000.-
And before we conclude, we would modestly
ask our Union brethren of the corps, if they
cannot hatch up something, to make Col. Daw.
son resign. In conclusion, we rejoice th it
the political character of Georgia stands re
deemed, her moral character regenerated, and
she herself disenthralled from the irresistible
geni.is of power and its minions.
We publish from the State Rights Sentinel,
all ihe news received concerning the Presi
dential election. It will be perceived that
Martin Van Buren will be the President for
the next four years; and more mortifying still,
R. M. Johnson the Vice-President. We
should like to know how the Cabinet will like
to see their families associate with Mrs. Julin-

North Carolina has, in ail human probability,
gone tha same way. The Whigs in that State j
have voted only about half th ir strength lu i
their strong counties, while in the strong V. n \
Bureu counties their whole strength has been :
polled.
Louisiana and Alabama, judging from the j
returns before us, have also gone for Van Bu- ,
ren; which swells his vote to 147. He will
also receive certainly Missouri, Arkansas, a id
Illinois, ami probably N w Jersey, and Rhode
Island making his v« te 171.
Hurriso has carried Ohio, Maryland, Del
e.ware and Vermont.
We have no returns from Mississippi or :
Kentucky. Van Buren’s majorities will bi j
about as follows—New York 151)00; Pennsvl- i
vamti 4000; Virginia 6000; .If due 7000;
N<-w-Hampshire 6000; Connecticut 800.
Harrison’s majorities, in Maryland 3500; :
Delaware 500; Vermont 7000; Ohio 10,000.
We shall hereafter give the popular vote in j

ren will be elected by the Colleges, he will j
hardly get a majority of the People’s votes.

Advertising;.
We ask the attention of the Merchants and
business men of Salisbury, to the following,
which we copy from the Raleigh Register.—
We entirely agree with “A Wake Farmer,”
that it is to the interest of the merchant to ad
vertise his goods, and a convenience to his
customers —and it is decidedly a duty the mer
chant owes to the community in which he
lives and prospers. And there is nothing that
more surely indicates the prosperity of a town,
than to seethe newspapers filled with adver- .
tisements.
Messrs. Editors: I should like to know why
the merchants of Raleigh do not advertise
their goods. They keep the country people
ironin' into every Store to find some article
that is wanting—winch labor might be spared,
if the merchants would advertise their slock.
It makes lhe city look more business-like too,
to see the papets filled with advertisements;!
and besides, it would be a means for the bet- j
ter establishment of Newspapers, as the ad- 1
vertisements are the "bone and sinew
publications. I hope the .city, mere#

KATE.
FOR THE SOUTHERN WHIG.
Mr. Jones.— ln my last I submitted the fol.
lowing facts, viz: that there were eleven*
counties in the Cherokee country, and Territo
j ry enough, when the Indians are removed
I and the lands settled, to make at least six
i more—that adjoining these, on the East and
. South of the Chattahoochee, were fourteen
! others, comprising in the whole twenty.five in
1 number, and containing a population of 150 .
' 000 inhabitants—that this, from its salubrity
' of climate, fertility of soil, purity and abund-
I ance of water, and ampleness of water power,
| is one of the freshest and finest portions of the
! State; indeed, it may be well called the East
: Tennessee of Georgia—that the people of this
! region are almost destitute of a market, or ra
; ther the facilities of transportation to and from
'j market, and in consequence thereof, have to
i expend more than half the profits of their la
hour in freights. I exhibited this table, foun.
; ded upon the fact that tne average price of
I freights was three cents a pound, which shews
J the ruinous condition of their agricultural pur-
■ suits, to wit.
i Cost of their salt, sugar and iron, $215,000
Freight of the same. 375,000
I Leaving a balance over the actu-
al cost, of 160,000
I then showed that the same articles, trans
. ported on Rail Roads, would only cost in
freight, 65,000
375,000
W Inch would be a saving of the —■ ■ -
enormous sum, to be applied to
the purchase of necessaries, of $310,000
I Now this sum, with the downward freights,
, and freights to be saved in like proportion up
, on the other articles of consumptions, which I
I have not taken into the estimate, and which
1 every one must know is very considerable,
j would in two years actually pay for the con-
I struction of the main trunk of the rail road, re
• commended by the Macon Convention. When
! I say pay for it, 1 mean it would be saved to
i the people, contributing greatly to their wealth
: and happiness, and every wise government is
i bound to supply such legislation to every com
: mimity as will secure to their labour the grea
; test possible profit and advantage, especially
j when they have the means to do so.
; If a farmer or planter, in any of the coun
ties I have enumerated, should be told, while
lie is utti-ndiog his crop through a burning
ummer’s sub, subject, as it is, to storms.'
- droughts, rust, rot and various other disasters,
i that at the close of a year’s hard work, he is
obliged, to give the waggoner more than half
! what he makes, to take the rest tn market, and
bring back his supplies, he would not believe
it, and yet it is demonstrably true. Take for
; example the article of cotton, and it is the
most profitable we make, bearing a greater
I disproportion between its value and freight
( than any other article, and suppose its aver
a<»e price in Augusta, for good and bad to be
15 cts. per pound, 1I
fifth bale, at
when lays ouldAL.;
which
or indeed any other articles, where these con
stitute, as they certainly do, a due proportion
of his purchases, it will be found that more
than half of his sales finds its way into the
pocket of the carrier. If you take flower or
tobacco, and no country is better suited for
both than the Cherokee purchase, the freights
would exhaust three-fifths of the latter, and
six-eighths of the former. In passing, it will
be well to remark, that the middle and 'ower
counties of Georgia are suffering in a rate of
expenditure for freights, precisely proportion
al to that above mentioned, and that a system
of rail roads would afford them a similar cor
respdding advantage, and this, any one will
perceive, who will choose to make tho calcu
lation.
Having shewn the ruinous exactions to
which the products and consumptions of the
up-country tire subjected, permit tne to suggest
a few reflections as to the immense saving of
time and expense in travelling, by the recom
mended improvement. I hold, that in all pur
suits, but more especially'm those ot agricul
ture and commerce, Zzme is mo/tey, and nothing
affords a greater draw back upon their pros
perity, than tin unnecessary waste of it. In
the travel required for the transaction of the
planter’s or merchant’s business, the rail road
enables him to accomplish his object in a pe
riod four times shorter than by the ordinary
method, that is, the journey of four days is
performed in one, because the difference of
tno asportation is as four miles to sixteen, in the
wsKfie Ft one hour. So much for time, a vast
Meed. Now, as to . xpense. Bv com-
ili t sli,£ ' e * are ’the saving is exactly
i; 1 percent.; but by reason ofa much
conveyance, there is considerable
difference in the number of lodgings and megls
on the road, and consequently, fully as great a
saving in that particular. So as to private tra
velling, when the frequency of meals and lod
i ging is taken into the account, by reason of
| slow journeyings and protracted time, together
, with horse expense, which has lately become
grievous, there is in favor of fail road travelling
a most decided advantage. All this is saved
to the producer and consumer, upon the latter,
I every expense of commerce is certain to fall,
i lor the merchant keeps an account of all his
j expenses, and makes the consumer reimburse
' * Instead of ten as published.
Sb o u t ft r r ti ft t £ ♦
him. This is not all, he is not content with
putting his per cent, on the cost of his articles,
but he adds io them all the charges, and then
puts on his per cent, upon the whole. So that
the people of the counties, whose condition I '
have been describing, have not only to bear .
the enormous expense of, ravelling and freight,
but to bear it increased by a large per cent,
laid on by the merchant.
While on this part of the subject, I will
mention ano'her great saving, and which would
be most propitiously and extensively felt by
the whole community. There is no country
which has more seriously declined in provi
sions than Georgia, particularly in bread stuffs.
The use of horse power to convey the im
mense productions of the cou .try to*. and its
equally great consumptions from market, cre
ates a demand for grain, which in no small de
gree interferes with the supplies absolutely
due to human subsistence; and which, whatev
er may he the advantage to the seller, ought
not to be placed out of the reach of an easy ac
cess to the poorer classes of the laboring com
munity.
To substitute machinery for horse power in
the business jf transportation, is to substitute
fuel for grain, and consequently, results in a
most favorable change of the consumption of
the latter article. It is no objection to say,
that horses would have to be fed at home, tor
laboring less, they would need less food and
of a less useful and expensivg nature. There
would be a less waste ofhorse life, in the over
powering labor of the mud and mire of the
roads, they would last longer and be the better
invigorated in the Spring for the more useful
toils of the crop.
As it is my intentention to offer some fur
ther remarks on this subject, I will conclude
for the present, by stating that the Legislature
owes it by every obligation ot equal and im
partial legislation to provide some system ot
internal improvement for the Cherokee coun
ties: Ist. because, from the peculiar nature ol
the country, consisting, by reason of the ter
mination of the mountains, oi a very uneaven
surface, it will be extremely difficult and la
borious to the inhabitants to construct any
thing like even tolerable market roads; and
2nd. there has been appropriated in the other
parts of the State, towards internal improve
ment, in roads, rivers and canals, by money and
labour, upwards of a million of dollars. Bu’
in my next. I will shew other considerations
u hich ought to induce the Legislature not to
desert this people.

Important I'roni lUexico.
We learn from a gentleman, passenger in
theschr. Lady Hope, Capt. Williams, from
Tampico, arrived yesterday, that three express,
es, in succession, had entered that place the
day previous to the sailing of the schooner.—
Our informant (who states that his information
was obtained from the town major) says ths
first express brought intelligence of a Ti xian
army (conjectured to amount to near 3,000
men) being within fifty leagues of Matamoras;
the second co..firmed the statement of the first
as to the supposed number, but stated them to
be in half the distance first represented, and
on a rapid, march-, the news brought by the
third was not per mlted to transpire; and. con.
sequei.tly was believed to be the most impor
tant; —the hasty assembling of the troops m
garrison, by the commandant, (Gen. Pedros)
furnishing good grounds for it. As many per
sons as could be induced to volunteer, or com
pelled to serve, joined them, and an expeditious
march was made for Matamoras, where other
troops were expected already to have arrived
from different sections of the interior, (accord
ing to the despatches furnished by the second
express). Gen. I’rrea had also proceeded to
the city of Mexico, in breathless hade, to re
ceive, it was surmised, ms.ructions from the
Government, at a inotne t of such vital emer
gency. The Texiau advancing at my was sup.
by Gem Rusk, and no

ico up to the 15th ult. left that city about the
15th, for the invasion of Texas. A large num
ber of sappers, minors, pioneers, &c, it appears
were attached to the division, and will in all
probability effect much, until coming in con
tact with the forces of Texas, who will impa
tiently await their arrival, and it may be, limit
the operations of their invaders to the districts
west of the Colorado. 11 was feared that some
calamitous occurrences might e .sue in the ci
ty of Mexico on the departure of the troops
alluded to, in consequence of some exaspera
tion of feeling existing against the American
portion of residents in the citv. Nothing of
the kind however had transpired up to the latest
dates.
From the Advertiser of yesterday, we learn
that several expresses had arrived at Tampico,
previous to the sailing of the schoo< er Ladv
Hope, announcing the approach of the T.-xiaii
army at Matamoras, probably under the com
mand ot General Rusk. 1 f this rumor be true.
Matamoras will doubtless fail in the hands of
the Texiatis, and a more important place for
their safety they could not take possession of.

SHOOTING STARS.
Most persons will remember to have sec
or heard of the splendid phenomenon ot thos
brilliant meteors on the morning of the 13:1.
of November, 1833. Various and discorda i
themes have been formed and published, (<■
account for these shooting stars, as they an
commo.dy denominated. —One of these the
ori« 6 make them Asteroids and contends so
their annual return. In New Orleans pap- i,
“The Times,” public attention is culled to th
heavens on the night ot the 12th and 13th
this month.
A look into the heavens on a clear night is
always rewarded, even if nothing else appears
hut. ' “The Eternal Lamps,” the steady mem
ber of the upper regions; therefore we add our
recommendation to that of the New Orleans
writer, though we differ in toto from the
opinion which gives a planetary charactei to
those sciutilating sparks. We may however
remark,that their non-.ippearance at any given
place, affords no conclusive proof of their
non-existence, as they may pass over in day
light. Those of 1833 were seen on so wide
an angle of the sphere, as to render their pas
sage uecessarilly visible from some part of
the earth. Time and more accurate observa
tiou, will change hypothesis to science, on this
as on all other subjects, adequately examined.
The phenomenon of the morning of Noveni
berl3,lß33, was visible along the eastern coast
of N. A. from the Gulf of Mexico to Halifax,
from 9 in the evening of the 12th, to sun rising
of the 13th and it is said that in some places
was visible after sun rising to 8 in the morn
ing.
I.i 1799, a similar phenomenon was seen
in America by M. de Humboldt; in Green
land by the Moravian Brethren; and in Ger
many by di.ers persons; and also in the night
between the 11th and 12ihofNovember. The
evidences of such appearances in the heavens
between 10th and 15th of November of each
year are so numerous as to demand attentive
observation from all who are so situated as to
give attention to the “M onderfvl Works of
GOD.”
