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 self in the hands of this patriot, (who is as false to his friends, as he is mean and treacherous to his enemies,) some unfair advantage would b*» aud that it Mi. rtßt “ 0n...... - to the police, o. Message woulii only nil 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.” I remain, dear sir, with sincere esteem, 1 very respectfully, your obedient servant, J. HAMILTON, of S. C. , rt.rt riir:, Ksq. “P. S. I have negotiated mv S. Caro lina Rail Road Loan for "2 millions with great despatch and on the most advan tageous terras, and have been treated with the utmost kindness bv all persons with whom 1 have had any thing to do, in this great and glorious country, from which we have every reason to be proud that we have sprung.” From the Augusta Chronicle anti Sentinel. The following letter from an intelli gent gentleman in Kentucky, to a gen tleman in this State, connected with the Georgia Rail Road, will he read with in terest by those who feel an anxiety in re lation to the success of the works of im provement now in progress in Georgia, for the purpose of connecting the West ern country with the markets of the South. In order to become au import ing people to any considerable extent in Georgia, it is of the highest importance that we should first provide a market for j the goods imported, and the means of j transporting them to that market. Un til the completion ofthe Western and At j lantie Rail Road and its junction with j the Georgia Rail Road, thereby opening j an inlet for the productions of the West j to find their wav to our markets it will j he follv to talk about importing to any ' thing like the extent of the value of our j cotton crop. We shall recur to this sub 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* provements, I will with pleasure transmit it.

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.

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 Mid wry lor the feeding of worms, having be sides* her advantages, that of a quicker gruv* and larger leaves: * 10 learn, by numerous letters i ptiSA’C received from \b>‘ South, that ot itie SiuTnsgrn States begin to 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.” noiiM ni i,Ti€tn,«M. “The Silk Culture is not attended with nore risque than ordinaty farming pursues, tnd prohnbly, not as much.

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. There arc a great many stories told of the prolific soilofthe great west; how that bread, ready buttered, grows upon high j trees; and pigs’ tails planted in the rich j alluvial bottom lands in the fall, fructify in such wise, that on some fine evening in early spring, a crop of juvenile pork ers may he seen marching into the sower’s farm yard from the “spot where they grew,” with short squeak, and in milita ry order; and that jack knives are “rais ed” by a kindred agricultural process. Howsoever this may be, we are credibly ! informed that the truth of a statement j equally surprising can he ensily estah- 1 fished.
