guch a message to Mr. O’Connell, as
should leave no doubt of its import.—As
I was perfectly aware, if l.e placed him

as false to his friends, as he is mean and
treacherous to his enemies,) some unfair
advantage would b*» aud that it

tate a fresh cataract of Billingsgate from
the most copious fountain of low vitupe
ration any where to ho found in her Ma
jesty’s dominions —in this stage ot the
proceeding, I w as so fortunate as to have
the counsels of that gallant and intelli
gent officer of the Nav v, ( tpt. Matthew
C. Perry, and of Dr. M’Cauley, of
Maryland, a gentleman who is also so
highly esteemed and so advantageously
fcnown by us ail at home, who both hap
pened accidentally to be in London. —
These gentlemen suggested to me, from
a much better knowledge of Mr. O’Con
tiell’s character than I possessed myself,
that he ought to be approached in the
form of an enquiry, in the first instance,
w hether the report of his speech was cor
rect—and if he avowed it, that then 1
should wait upon him with an open let
ter, to ask whether he held himself re
sponsible, according to the sense in
which such responsibility, is acknowl
edged far an outrage unprovoked and
monstrous upon the ieelings of a grtitie
maii bearing so high and distinguished a
personal and official relation to his own
Government, as the Minister of the U
nited States. —If he did avow such a re
sponsibility, at once to tender him a
peremptory challenge, without an “i*
or “but” in the whole contest, in strict
conformity to the instructions ot my
principal.
“ Vs Mr.O’Connell,however, had pub
licly avowed, from the fact ot his once
having accidently killed his man, (tree
doubtless of even the crime of homicide,
as I question from his valor, wnether he
ever took sight at his opponent,) that he
will not fiqht whilst he claims immunity
and impuuitu to abuse every man, not
only in the United Kingdom, hut in the
whole world ; I was satisfied that no sat
isfaction co ild have been obtained even
by this course. I therefore consented to
a plan which enabled Mr. O’Connell to
lie himself out ofthe difficulty—which he
has successfully accomplished at an ex
pense, which considering the small a
moiiot of character which the Riot. Mas
ter of Ireland has left, In* could iti atiord.
“That Mr. O’Connell not only used
the language reported aud attributed to
him in the London Sun and Spectator,
but was more offensive, there can be no
doubt.
“I shall not leave England, without
going to Birmingham, investigating the
facts, and fixing the Lie upon his brass
in indelible characters.
“Indeed it is said that he made. Ii I*e
tack on the character of the great 1 fi.tio
of our country—a man, the purity of
whose memory is outraged by the very
approach of such a vulgar miscreant as
O’Connell unquestionably is.
“Many very worthy persons in our
own -country, who are ever very sensi
tive oti ail subjects connected with a del
icate sense of honor, may share with the
universal sentiment oi England, that a
man, who, like O’Connell, has been vo
ted by a large majority of the House of
Commons, a public calumniator, is be
neath the notice of a gentleman; and 1
assure you, this opinion is beginning to
obtain such general authority here, that
no member of Parliament would snv
more think of calling the Great Beggar
man out, than the shabby mendicant
who stands at. the door of St. Stephens,
ami begs “vour honor of a penny.”—
But, both Mr. Stevenson and .mvself,
know what Virginia asks and expects of
her sons. At least, that they should at
all times show a willingness to resent any
indignity offered abroad to their country
in their own person.
“Iftlie correspondence had taken a turn
■which would have rendered it necessary
for me in person to iiave borne a message
to Mr. O’Connell for Mr. Stevenson, I
had determined to ask Capt. Perry with
me as a witness; for O’Connell is, lam
told, always surrounded by a goodly
portion of his tail, in the shape of ruffi
ans, only inferior in brutality to their
prototype. Without provoking the slight
est aggressions on our feelings or persons,
■we should nevertheless have been prepa
red to have met it. AVe should have en
-Jl-iiUi'i'rd-Tii this contingency to have
made ourselves as ugly customers as pos
sible, to the immaculate patriot and his
disciples—to which we would have had
some claim, as* both Capt. Perry and
myself have in avoirdupois, about as
much Irish blood in our veins as the Au
gust Milean himself.
“If, however, in an Irish scrimmage,
I had accidentally stopped his wind, I feel
satisfied my escape would have been
connived at by the English people ; for,
I should have entitled inyself, by this act,
to their everlasting gratitude, for expell
ing, in self-defence, one of the greatest
pests with which, in His inscrutable wis
dom, the Almighty has been pleased to
inflict on the British Empire—a man,
~\vuo, having extorted riot money from
the poor deluded paupers of his own
country, is selling for a large sized lump
of Whig patronage in Inland—'lie inte
rests of a people he has dishonored and
betrayed.
“I feel I owe join an apology for using
such abuse against this man. But h not
our country ami countrymen the theme
of his perpetual, unceasing scandal, more
foul and audacious th in the civilized
world has ever yet witnessed ? If Ish
mael strikes, shall we not suite tool—
No; Christian chanty itself would par
don a retaliation so profoked and so jus
tifiable.
“I need not say that our friend has,
in this, under all the circumstances of
the case, acted in all respects in a man- ■
ner worthy of the old Commonwealth
from which lie came.”

that we should first provide a market for

ject again when we have more time.
ilcvoEßSo.v, Kv. Aug. 23, 1838.
Sir— With the view that you may form
j with the least possible trouble, a more
j correct estimate of the extent of country
j in the North-west, which would be Mm
j oiauded by a continuation ofthe Atlan
j tic and Western Rail Road from its pre
sent teiminus on the Tennessee river, 1
i take the liberty of enclosing to vou a
small map, oil which I have laid down,
| in blue lines, the Ohio and Indiana
! "uls, and in red lines, the Illinois and
Indiana Rail Roads, together with ours,
and the proposed Charleston and Cin
cinnati Rail Roads. They are, of course,
not laid down on the map with precise
correctness, hut they are sufficiently ac
curate to answer ilie purpose for which
1 send the map.
I beg leave also, to suggest to you that
the distance from Evansville to Louis
ville, (ilie nearest terminus of the Charles
ton and Cincinnati Rond) is about 220
miles by water; aud to Cincinnati, a
hoin 373 miles ; and that the distance to
the month ot the Tennessee from Evans
ville, by water, is about 1.50 miles. I
will also mdi*, V—*-.--.-.. Olnt.UiH.iil
1: iid the month of the Tennessee, the inn -
ovation of the Ohio is greatly obstructed
hvbars; and that between Evansville and
Henderson, there is never less than a
bout eight to ten feet of water in the O
hin.
That the trade of the country in the
North-west, whose Rail Bonds and Ca
j oa!s terminate at Evansville, will never
Ihe commanded by any respectable ex
! tent, by either the Tennessee river or
j Charleston and Cincinnati Rail Road,
is evident to any man who has any prac
| tieu! acquaintance with the laws of West
ern commerce. That the construction
of tile road from Henderson by Nash
ville, will restore to Savannah and
Charleston the commercial superiority
which they possessed before the Revolu
tion, there can he no doubt. It is also
clear, that fixing the terminus of the At
lantic and Western road at Henderson,
is the host possible policy for all the sec
tion of country interested in the work,
because the route will be not only more
direct, but its terminus on the Ohio will
lie at the nearest practicable point to
Evansville, which, a glance at the map,
will show to he the Ohio terminus of a
larger amount of improved means of tra
vel or transportation, than any other
point on the Ohio river. The Northwes
: tern and .South-eastern systems of Inter
j nai Improvement are now located, and
| cannot be changed without great loss:
j each section has a deep interest in open-
I ing an easy intercourse with the other.
Let them connect by the Henderson Rail
! Road, Evansville &, Rossvillc, the near
jest and most important termini ofthe
! two systems. Fortunately, the country
> between them, is pgibably the most fa
i voruble that could have been selected fur
the construction of a road form the Ohio
j tothe Atlantic.
By entering immediately and energeti
cally upon the work, and pressing it for
j ward, it may be completed almost as
• soon as the great Southern and Western
systems, which it will unite; and there
by greatly facilitate the efforts of Savan
| nah, Augusta and Charleston, to com
| niand the Western trade or commerce.
For the completion of the Western im
provements, must to some extent, unset
tle the course of our commerce, by indu
cing the formation of new business con
nexions; am! while we are in that condi
tion, is the most favorable time for the
cities in the South-east to compete for it.
Do you approve tlie suggestion made
in mv former letter, of a Convention, to
meet at Nashville, fur the purpose of de
vising and arranging a plan of future
.operations, in relation to the road ?
Concert in the efforts ofthe various sec
tions of country, interested ir. its con
structiou, is indispensable to success in
the tmderkakiiig, and I know of no bet
ter method of producing it than such a
convention.
You will pease accept mv thanks for
the very valuable inf nutation which you
j have done me the honor to transmit, and
j if you desire to obtain any further infor
mation, in relation to the Western irn
urxrji sQwtraxß&sr szpt*

The opposition have gained one "mcmbcrT
(the Senator.) and they shout victory!—
Y\ hen taking into consideration the means
employed to effect this end, the more honest
portion should cry shame, shame, rather
than exult at a triumph so ignobly obtained.
During the whole canvass, the tongue of ca
lumny was busy; but it was reserved for the
eve ol the election, too late as it was con
ceived, to give it in all quarters a contradic
tion, to institute aud industriously circulate
a slanderous report, well calculated to im
pair the standing of Major Irvin. After all,
however, he was beaten by the meagre ma
jority ol fifteen votes; —let those claim this as
a glorious triumph, who are not scrupulous
about the means employed to secure their
end.
iwo members for the Lower House. There
were too many candidates professing to be
Union men—we knew there would be a
clashing, and raised the warning voice, bill
in vain. Two of the opposition candidates,
in conscqunce received a considerable num
ber of Union voles, electing one, and giving
ihe other an honorable poll.
Our friends instead of being disheartened,
should endeavor to profit by t lie lesson juxt
taught them. Let us hear of no mote dis
union in our ranks, but when the time again
arrives, rally our forces, march in solid pha
lanx to the polls, aud the day will again be
ours.
!Vrw Mail Arrangement.
An alteration it) t lie mode of conveyanoe>
and time of arrival of the mails between
\\ ashington and Augusta, I as rtrernly ta
ken (dace, much to the injury of the citizens
c>f this county especially, and we believe it
would be difficult to show to the benefit of
any party properly concerned. By the nav
arrangement, the mail is to be carried on
horse-buck twice a week, instead of being con
veyed in coaches three times a week, accor
ding to the old plan. We had before, under
the old regime, irregularities and failures c
noughto complain of; what maybe expected
as the result of this extraordinary change?
It is not believed that one horse, even if he
were as large as a Peensylvania dray-herse,
would be able at all seasons to bring or carry
the mail ; and now to have it arrive even if
it should regularly, twice instead of thrice a
week, is more than onr citizens should be
willing to tolerate, wiihoutsomn rsutnn w; ng
assigned for the alteration. We are of the
opinion that the Post Master Genera! most
have received some incorrect information with
regard to our necessities here, or he would
not have been so ready to diminish our facili
ties. W e are decidedly of opinion, that a
doily mail from Augusta to this place, would
materially benefit the citizens of each place,
without subjecting the Department to needless
expence. If this cannot be obtained, howev
er. let us at least be restored to our ancient
privileges.
For the present we forbear further remaik«,
while expressing a hope that the citizens of
this county, will not neglect the call for a
meeting in this place on Tuesday next. It is
important, they should attend.
We have received the lir-t and second num
b -**s of the “American Silk Grower, Sc Far
mer's Manual,” a cheap and valuable peri
; odical. the prospectus of which will be found
on our first page. For the present, we must
be content with the following extracts, which
are made chiefly for the purpose of awaken
ing the attention of the peonle of the South,
to the important subject ot Silk Culture, de
signino hereafter at onr leisure and conveni
ence, to furui-h our readers with more infor
mation on this subject.
By reference to our advertising columns,
it will be seen that Mr. Gideon, of Athens,
has a considerable quan'i'y of the Morus Mul-
ticaiHr for sale. This is the best species of

feelfeirt itgerest in the silk cuTttite. There is
fWowk'd-dy in the world a region where the
Morns Molticatilis will grow more luxuriant
ly, or a climate better adapted to the nature
of the silk worm, thunthat portion ofthe U.
States. To the planter of the South, this
employment offers all the pccimi.ity induce
ments that can ho expected of any pursuit
whatever; we have not a doubt that, at no
distant day, silk will become one of the sta
ples of Southern exportation, and add milli
ms to the wealth of that section of ihe Union.”

“The Silk Culture is not attended with

This tree is not liable to be injured by the

We bad the pleasure and the honor of
! meeting Commodore Porter in Delaware
county, on Saturday last, aud w t,hiug him
1 welcome to his native land, after a sojourn
abroad as Charge d’Affiiirs ofthe American !
Government at the Court of the Sublime j
Butte for several years. The Commodore j
will s<x>n again return to Constantinople, and I
resume his functions. It is impossible to de- j
i.scribe the emotions that thrilled within us as i
vve gazed upon this extraordinary mjn—w ho j
perhaps, more than any other American sai- !
lor, canicd further the terror of his name and j
•lie renown of his flag—spreading alarm aud
dismay among the enemy along the South
American coast, and inflicting severe aud ;
devastating ruin on their itnpottant com
merce in the Southern seas. YYe will brief
ly tcciir to a few of the prominent incidents
in his naval career. On ihe 3d of July. 1812. ;
Captain Porter sailed from New York in
command of the Essex, and, alier sonic mi- j
nor captures, felt in with the Biitish sloop '
ol war Alert, on the 13th of August, and. af- j
ter a hot action of eight minutes, the stand- I
aid ofSt. George was loweicd to the stripes j
ami stars. In October of the same year, j
Captain Porter again put toxcu in his favor- j
ite vessel, the Essex, and repaired, agreea- l
lily to his instructions from Commodore Bam- j
bridge, to the coast o! Brazil. On this coast
he captured bis Britannic Majesty's ship
Xocton, but hearing ofthe victorious action
between the Constitution and Java, which
would oblige the former to return to port, and
informed that the coast swarmed with British
cruisers, he abandoned so dangerous a vicin
ity, after limning down as far as the Rio do !
la Plata, stretched away for the shores ofthe j
Southern Pacific.
During his cruise in this sea, lie inflicted
the most irreparable injury upon the com
merce ol Great Britain, and was particularly
destructive totheir shipping employed in the !
Sperm Whale Fishery. His numerous pri
zes supplied him iu abundance with provi
sions, clothing, medicines, and naval stores
of every desci iptiori, and he was consequent
ly enabled for n long time to keep the sea
without sickness or iueouvcnieuee to his
crew; living entirely on the enemy, and en
abled to make considerable advances of pay
to officers and men, without a single draft on
Government. His name became a terror a
lottg the whole Cua.-t, and among the islands
of the Pacific, anil at length reached the
ears of the British Admiralty, whodespateh
td vessel alier vessel in pursuit ofthe daring
American, who scorn the boasted
supremacy ofthe Biitish navy. For u long
time Porter effectually bullied all pursuit—
keeping the open sea, or lurking among the
numerous aml desolate islands that Ibtin the
Gallipngos group, he left tin traces by which
he could be followed.
At t riglh in the harbor of Valparaiso, the
Essex became a picy to superior force, and
.ifn i ..tie „f dm most sanguinary defences on
nnval record surrendered to the Phoebe and
Cherub. On his return home, Commodore
Porter was received with that grateful etuliii
iiasni by bis admiring countrymen, so well
accordant w ith the high merit of his career
-iuco the war. The unfortunate affair at
I oxardo, which resulted in depriving the
American navy of one of its brightest orna
ments, it is painful to speak of. Since then
ilie gallant Commodore, in the civil station
lo which ho was appointed by the late
President, has equally, ns in his naval
'phere, represented the dignity and honor of
his country. May a gracious I’rovidenceoi
dain that his declining years he cheered Uy
health and happiness. —Philadelphia Focus.
