I ■ For the Chronicle $ Sentinel. Messrs. Ehxtors: —Having late f y passed ; through ti e Eastern section of the Carolinas, | 1 and in C - gia along the Savannah River, my at- 1 tenl.ion was directed to some of the great miner- ' al resources of this section of country, which ap pear to be entirely unappreciated by its inhabi tants. I refer particularly to a great depo-it of limestone which I first observed in Jones coun ty, N. C., near the Santee, and afterwards in the ; western part of Charleston Disirict, S. C., and again on the Edisto, and in Georgia at Jasksop boro, where there is now a small kiln, not at present, however, in use. Ihe puritv of this rock, which approaches that of chalk, renders it admirably adapted for the production of lime, and yet notwithstanding its abundance, the facility of procuring wood, it costing nothing, both the la bor of cutting and hauling, and the great ex pense of lime, Charleston and Savanah and all the Southern coasts continue to be supplied with Thomaston lime. Were men of capital and en terprise once aware of the means they have at hand, and of the relative costal which this arti cle may be produced in the two sections of coun i try, it seems hardly possible, that the South j should look much longer to the North for lime, j 1 any more than, as was once the case, they did to ! Germany for brick ! Lime is burned at Thomaston, Me., with wood» ! j which never costs less than $3 a cord. I ine Anthracite coal has lately been introduced, and partially used as fuel, which may reduce toe ex pense a little ; but from the lowest estimates, as given in Dr. Jackson’s Geological Reports ot the surveys of that State, it cannot be produced at a less expense than §77 the hundred casks, which include the price of the casks. These should hold by law, each five bu-hels, but they have been 1 found to contain less than a common flour barrel —three and a half bushels may be taken as their average capacity. The expense of transporation, I &c. make them worth at Charleston about §2 per cask, or more; ■ ad as it is carried into the inte rior, its value rapidly increases, till on the very spot, where the rock occurs in the greatest abun dance, it has long been sold for §3 per cask I In the Chester valley, Penn., lime is sold at the kilns for cents per bushel. It is burned in large kilns holding 1600 bushels, with only six teen cords of good hard wood, which costs §2,50 per cord. Fine Anthracite coal is there used al- j | so to some extent, but the lime is not afforded any cheaper than that made with wood. At Potts ville where coal is used altogether, lime costs ! twenty cents; the rock, however, has to be trans i ported some twenty-five and some eighty miles. From the slight opportunities I have had of | judging, I can see no reason why lime should not j be made as cheap and as abundantly in South | Carolina and Georgia, as in the Chester valley # ; Suitable stone for making kilns may not always ; i be found conveniently at hand, but if granite cun j be t ansported from Quincy to build churches and j houses, it, or a better material may also, to build j kilns, and substantial ones made, which should last many drawings. Pine wood can every I * . where be obtained for little or nothing. Os the 1 relative cost of labor to effect the same end, I j know nothing. But as to the quality of thelime ) | ■ the Southern ma}- well compete with the Northern in purity and strength, though prejudiced work j men may for a time refuse to adopt the change, | : as is invariably the rase with any alteration in | troduced in their business, which they, naturally | enough, think they understand better than any j j one else. As an instance of this, lime made from a particular rock in Rhode Island, a magnesian | carbonate of lime is prepared at double the price j i in New York of Thomaston lime, while a pre ■ cisely similar quality of lime, made from a rock, ! which is chemically the same at the latter place, ! but which happens to he an unusual variety there, meets with no sale in New York at a very low price. Some of those in South Carolina may not make so white a lime as tire Northern, but it will be equally strong and similar for mortar, mid far ther in tire quarry it may be found purer. Very little of it, however, will be liable even to this j objection. That from Jacksonhoro’, is remarka- | biy white. By opening the same bed on the Savannah ri- i ver, where it must occur, with a few kilns there, i and also on the navigable parts of the Santee and Edisto a company of enterprising men, or one man with a capital might, I believe, supply the lime required for Charleston, Beaufort, and the whole Southern coast, for half the present cost of the Thomaston lime, and afford it to the neighboring planters at a price, which would make it an object to them to use it for renewing worn out lands, and keeping up those under im mediate cultivation, without their being compelled continually to clear new land, and cultivate ex tensive tracts for crops, which, with the aid of lime, might be produced on half the number of acres. These observations, a traveller’s notes merely, arc at your service, Messrs. Editors, and if they may call attention to some of the neglected ad vantages of this country, it will afford me much pleasure, that I made them. J, T. H.

Correspondence of the National Intelligencer. New York, February 24, 1840. The packet ship Sampson , January 4th from London, came in last night. The dates are scarce ly any later, but there is an item of news re specting “ the Amistad.” Lord Palmerston, it is stated, has directed her Majesty’s Minister at Washington to interpose his good oliiccs m be half of the Africans, onboard of her, and also certain directions have been given to the British Representative at the Court of Madrid. The Emperor of Russia was said lo be sevetely indis posed. The losses of the Manhattan Bank are stated to be $700,000 —one third of its capital I The Van Buren Directions of the bank are sustaining the Cashier at all hazards, and he cannot be got rid of just now. There were no sales in the stock to-day. The government has, or had over half a million deposited in this institution, which it would be well to he looked alter. The venerable James Maury, aged 90, the first American Consul at Liverpool, appointed by Washington, died last evening. Stocks have risen to-day. Within a few days the North American Trust Company has gone up from 40 to 49. Some of these operations arc said to be the results of cornering —a Wall street phrase. New York, February 7 25. A packet ship in from Havre gives us dates from Paris to lan. 7th or Bth, with later news from Africa and the East. The French arc re covering the ground -hey have lost in Africa, and Arabs have been worsted in several conflicts, nlecember 81, a French column at Belida attack ed the Arabs, and completely put them to route. The French in Africa are quite elated over their victories. The subject of a reply to the address of the King has been for some time a matter of debate in the French Chambers, but one was about to be agreed upon flattering to the King, and coin ciding in hiscourse of policy. His foreign poli cy was approved, and the good feeling and unity of action between France and England was ex pressively dwelt upon, M. Villemain, in reply to the attacks of the Duke de Noaifles, said that the alliance of England was one of the basis of the safety of Europe, and of universaj liberty. This is a new tongue in France. There is no new feature in the Eastern ques tion. Russia has declared war against Khiva or Chiva, not China, as stated in some of the ac counts. This is supposed, by the English papers to be a movement towards checkmating the British in Afghanistan. it is stated now, positively, that the Queen was to have been married February 16. The cotton market at Havre had been rather un soiled, but holders were showing more firm ness. A decline, however; was anticipated on account of the abundance of the American crop. There is a story afloat, as having come to Eng land in a letter from Calcutta, that the Englsh and Portuguese residents at Macao had been ex pelled by the Chinese from the town. That the English were expelled, we have before heard, hut | the statement as to the Portuguese is doubtful. Our rivers are breaking up. The Connecticut ; is open, and navigable to Hartford, The Hudson i is known to be open as far as Poughkeepsie, and iis presumed to be open to Albany.

The Patric k Hen ry, to sail 7th Proximo, is the only Liverpool packet now in port. The packets from England are bringing in little or nothing. The Samson had scarcely any thing | but ballast; but the packets out are full, and over full. The freight of the Garrick out will be, it is i said, three thousand pounds sterling ! She takes tea, corn, flour, cotton, flax-seed, *fec. Tea j is now going to England constantly in our ships. The opening of our river, with the accounts from Europe, are quite unsettling our flour mar ket, and it may be some time before prices will be established. The opening of the river and ca nal will let loose the interior upon stores, and on ly an active foreign demand, such as we are not likely to have, can keep up prices. Stocks fell olf to-day.

One of thcTexian papers says the Courier,de nies that there was any thing more than mere skirmishing between the Federalists andthe Cen tialists in the vicinity of Monterey. The Fed eral leader Canales, having received word from his friends in Monterey, that the Centralists had received a reinforcement of 17(10 men, the order to retreat was given, and a complete disbanding of the Federalists followed without fighting, much to the disgust of their Anglo Saxon allies. —Large reinforcements were said to be on their | way to join the government troops in the State of | Chihuahua and reports swelled to 2(».(>00 men, the number of Mexican troops destined to invade Texas. “ Filisolaleft the city of Mexico on the 23d of December, at the head of 1500, infantry, to act against the Federalists in northern Mexico, and i with tue avowed purpose of invading Texas.

France v khsus America.—The Commerce contains a long and violent attack upon the French Government for not protecting its agents against insult in foreign states. Having alluded to the “insults upon the French Hag by the En glish,” the Commerce enquires what has been done iu the affair of the French naval officer, ta ken away by an American vessel, which was cap tured during the blockade of Vera Cruz, and re specting the French vice-consul at Newport, in the I; idled States, who was dragged from his house, and put into prison. “ If,” adds this Jour nal, “the representatives of France are to be in sulted by the American authorities with impuni ty, what strength will they have, what respect can they inspire among the half barbarian govern ments of the new continent. The Ministry must give an account in the first discussions of the' Chambers of the steps which they have taken to demand tor this insult a satis action, rcquir p d alike by the security due to our trade and the honor of our flag.” Spain.—The head quarters of E.-partcro, are Slid at Mas de ias IMatas, and General Leon, with the first division, is in occupation of Aguaviva, whence lie has detached a brigade to Ginebrosa. fbe Temps hints at a plan having been form ed by the Spanish Carlists for getting Don Car los to abdicate in favor of his son, and then of procuring the escape of the young Prince from Bourges, and placing him with the* army of Ca brera. From the New Orleans Bulletin. Cession of the Califoruias. - * The rumor of a pending negotiation for the ac - quisition of the two Califoruias by England from | Mexico, is calculated to excite considerable inter est. As to the t ulli of the rumor, we have no 1 i authority, except the letter published in the Cou- j rier the day before .yesterday. There are, how ever, other circumstances, which render such a ; movement highly probable. The cession of the ! two provinces would give to Great Britain an ex- | tensive and valuable teiritory, in a part of the world where she has long been nxions to gain a 1 : foothold, besi .es securing an object >till more de- ; i sirable—a spacious range of sea const on the Pa cific. stretching more than a thousand miles .rom j the 42d degree of latitude, sou'll—sweeping the circuit of the peninsula of California, and em bracing the harbors of that Gulf—the finest in North America. The ambition of the British ca | binet would grasp it the prize, as a possession ad- j mi rably adapted to a banco the naval and com mercial aggrandizement of the nation. It would i be desirable, also, as offering a barrier to the en croachments of the Tcxiairs and Americans. — | For England well knows, that before another century the tide of emigration now moving to the ! base of the Cordileras, will pass across the moun- | tains, and overflow the regions bordering on the Pacific. The plan of a fir-sighted policy may be, to establish colonies there, that might prevent the acquisition of the territory by a kindred but a rival people. The fact is also well known, that Englan I pre fers some faint pretentions to the Oregon coun ! try, which the establishment of her authority to the adjacent province might tend greatly to strengthen. Indeed, the ta-k is not difficult to point out many reasons that make the measure de sirable and highly expedient and politic for Great Britain. How Mexico may be disposed to re- I ceive the proposition, is a subject concerning j which suggeslio is might he made of a similar import. The pseudo-republic it is well known, j possesses vastly more of tenitory than she occu pies or w ill ever make use of. Her boundary northwards encloses almost half a continent of | wild waste lands, which her indolent population ; have never had the enterprise to subdue or even i ;to explore. The broad patrimony cannot long ; i be kept safe from invasion ; and Mexico may be , i disposed to make a virtue of necessity, anil cede i | for an equivalent, provinces which she may no longer hold or protect from the aggression of the groat pioneers of liberty and civilization. What might add strength to the resolution, is the fact that Mexico is indebted to England in a vast sum. The sale of the California might be a con venient mode of cancelling an enormous debt; and perhaps the setlemcnt of other foreign claims due by Mexico might be included as part of the purchase money, in the bargain. The deep in terest which Groat Britain look in the controver sy between France and Mexico, is itself an evi dence that designs arc meditated as well for her own advantage as for that of , ier protegee. It is , not to be supposed that England would have lie- \ come security for the debtor in that instance, without some better guarantee than the faith of j Mexico. j 'Flic more the subject is pried into, the strong j er grows the probability that an arrangement of: 1 the kind is contemplated. How the convention j would be received by foreign powers, is another question, about which no doubt can be entertain ed. They would all with scarce an exception, express their disapprobation. But the distance of the region from Europe, might prevent any ac tive interference. The only country that has any great stake in the matter, is the United S. : Our honor and interest are concerned in prevent ing any European power from acquiring territory j on tiiis continent. We trust that our Cabinet ; will not remain inactive, amid movements soirn- j portant. Our position in this hemisphere justi fies the Government in taking a stand on ques j lions of this kind. The courts of Europe should be taught that without our consent they are not to plant their settlements on this side of the At lantic. They may invade an 1 plunder Asia or Africa, to the luil extent of their ambition, or ra pacity, but America should be covered from de predation, under the wing of the American Ea i gle. A Pennsylvania paper remarks that the Banks in that Mtatc owe the people thirty-two millions of dollars, and that the people owe the Banks j seventy millions. 1 : Died at Mansfield, Mass., on the 20lh Jan., Lieut.
