II CHRONICLE AND S uNTINEL. AUGUSTA. SATURDAY MORNING, vIARCH 7. (Zj’ See first page daily papei Our acknowledgments arc ue to the Hon. Mr. Pickens, of S. C.,for a copy >f his speech on the cent fund, &c. &c. and also to Mr. Dawson, for the speech of Mr. ; 'avis, of Massa chusetts, on the Sub-Treasury qi ;slion. Alarm of Fire Some little confusion was prr luced yesterday by the announcement of a fire n the Kill, said to be the beautiful mansion of C >l. Gumming.— On arriving at the spot, howev' r, it was ascer tained that the kitchen chirnne had taken fire and communicated a spark to b the roof of the mansion that ignited, and consu ned a few shin gles. No other damage was doi e, and t,»e party returned to the city, regarding it rather a plea sure excursion than otherwise. AVhig Conveutb n. The “Hartford Gouranl” says the Convention of Whig young men of Conn., vas so numer ously attended that no house i the city was spacious enough to contain tin members, they wore therefore compelled to hoi their delibera* tions in the state house yard. Ohio and Pennsylv .nia. One of the most striking evid> nces of the de generacy of the times, and the desperation to which the parlizans of the pro; mt administra tion are driven to prop a sinki g cause, is the passage of resolutions by the Lee slature of Ohio, and the introduction of simila ones into the Legislature of Pennsylvania, i viling General Jackson to visit those two State: at the expense of each, during the present yea . As evidence of sincere gratitude, (if such w re the feelings that prompted the movers, and the object was werfhy.) the introduction of s ich resolutions and their passage, would be co iplimentgry to the heads and hearts of their re pective movers and supporters. But when we reflect upon the ime of their in troduction, immediately preceedi* ; a Presidential election, from States overwhelmt 1 wi»h a public debt, it bespeaks a prostitution o the high office of legislation, which should cot r the actors in this hypocritical effusion of grat ude, with the scorn and derision of an insulted onsiituency. The amount of Trea airy l\o ;s outstanding on the Ist Inst, was $2,176,681 17. The Philadelphia Inquirer of the 2d instant says :—“We learn that on Salur ay las*, most of the Banks of Philadelphia won J not pay out thairown notes, or the notes of i ly other Bank. The cheques of depositors, as iresented, were marked good and returned. T e object, as we presume, is to decrease their imrr abate lithilities as much as possible, before the a prehendeJ pas sage of the Farce Bill. The Ba kof the United States paid out her notes, as usu: ; . Should this course be presisted in, every descr ption of paper, except U. S. Bank notes, would peedily disap* pear from circulation. A hope is still indulged, however, that the Legislature wil pause in their work of destruction.” Flour Trade. The Philadelphia U. S, Gazet e of Monday says that the sales o f Flour last week in tha* m arket, for shipment, amounted o 21,000 bar rels. Freights to England contin e high—a ves sel was loading, at 6 shillings per ihl., and 5 shil lings would be readily given. Oi Saturday sales were made in Philadelphia at $5 . $5,12^. The Baltimore American of ' ’uesday says: In the Baltimore market, the salt , of Flour for shipment have been extensive so some weeks past, and they are still going on. It will be seen that the store price in Howard s reel yesterday was s>4.B7£ a $5 at which conside ib'e sales were making. The Oiiio Kail-road the principal channel for the conveyance of floi r to this mar ket, and ihe facilities which it tun islies daily are very great. It is estimated at leas 50,000 bbls, have been brought on it to market vithiu the last tour weeks—at a dead loss of twe cents par ton per mile to the Kail-road Compai in its trans portation. The Philadelphia Inquirer of he 2J instant says :—-It will be seen on referei ce to our Har risburg correspondence, that in lb House a pro vision has been adopted to make t e stockholders ! ot Banks liable in proportion to the amount of stock held by each. A most iniqu ous provision, especially as ii will only affect A aerican stock holders. Foreign holders are bey md the reach of such a disgraceful enactment. The widows ami orphans who should happen t ■ hold stock in any insolvent bunk would be ruth essly plunder ed under this section. Our Legi.. ature seem to be mad upon the subject of Bank .” From the National IntellU encer. New Jersey Contested I lection. We regard the vote given by the House of Representatives Friday evening, n the case of the New Jersey contested election as'indicating on the part of .the Adrninistrat on members a more deliberate determination to disregard the law ul rights of the citizen under tl * Constitution than has ever before lieen witnesse in mat Hall. During all the paroxysms of partj violence with which our country has been affl.ct J, no party has ever before had the hardihood, in leciding upon a constitutional right, to declare , i advance that it would disregard the law by w uch that right was se uied. The Constitution i the great fun damental law of our poli icalcomj act, enacted by the sovereign People themselves, nd equally ob ligatory upon ihe highest officer a d ihe lowest citi/.en, restraining the one and protecting the outer. It is this great fundarae tal law o. the National Government, and the iws i a-sed in pursuance thereof in the States, t at define and regut .te the sacred right of suffrag t, which lies at the foundation of all representative Governments If this lawful rigiit of the elector s impaired by being compelled to share it with t .hers to whom jt d.»es not belong, or abridged b 3 withholding i t from those to whom it does Mon ;, then indeed are the days of the Republic numl sred. Then let u* glance at the proceedings of the House on Friday evening. While this case was pending before the Committee of Elections, and the commissioned members had gone home un der an order of the committee to finish taking ev idence to prove the frauds committed and the unlawful votes alleged to have been given, a mo tion was suddenly made in the House requiring the committee “forthwith” to report which five of the claimants of the contested seats received the greatest number of votes. This motion was evidently made with the design of at once voting the Administration gentlemen into the vacant seats, whether they had or had not the greatest number of lawful votes, and was earnestlv advo cated for that avowed purpose. As nothing but the greatest number of lawiul votes can constitute an election, a motion was made by Mr. b illtnore to amend the resolution by inserting the word “lawful” before the word “votes,” and the vole on this motion was taken by yeas and nays; and to the surprise, we should think, ot almost every body but themselves, ninety-six members were found ready to record their names against a report to be based upon the number ot lawjul votes. Thereby manifesting a willingness to exclude those claimants who had received the greatest number of lawful votes, and admit those who had received the greatest num ber of votes, lawful or unlawful, without regard to the frauds that had been practised in obtaining them, or the dangerous precedent thus establish ed, that those who can, by fraud or conspiracy, obtain the greatest number of votes, whether ol aliens, minors, free negroes, or others, shall, in stead of being held up for reprobation and dis grace, be rewarded with official honors and high trusts. We confess we were not prepared lot this. It is more alarming than any thing wc have before witnessed, ami it ca Is loudly upon the freemen of the country to look to their rights, and enter their solemn protests against such a dangeious and unconstitutional proceeding. From the Austin City (Gazette , February the Isf M. De Saliguy. M. de Saligny and suite reached our city on Tuesday last, and was, on the succeeding day, presented to both Houses of Congress and duly recognised by his Excellency the President, as Charge d’Aflaires from the Court of France,— On his approach, he was met, in the wild and beautiful valley of the Colorado, some few miles from the city, and escorted to his lodgings by the mayor and civil authorities, Gen. Henderson, oui late minister to Franee and England, the Hon, Secretary of W ar. most of the heads of depart ments and bureaus, and a considerable concourse of citizens and strangers. We congratulate oui fellow-citizens on tbecon summation of an event so much desired by every patriot as that of the ratification of a “ treaty oj peace, amity and commerce” between France and Texas; and devoutly hope, as it is the first, that it may prove to he a strong and perpetual link in the chain of mutual friendship and fideli ty which shall, in future, bind together the two nations. During his visit among us last year, M Salig ny secured the esteem, confidence and high re gard of all with whom he was associated. His abilities, acquirements ami principles are no less appreciated than the liberality of his sentiments, the correctness of his judgment and the urbanity of his deportment; it is, therefore, with much pleasure, that we welcome him to our city, and we feel assured that all Texas will hath with great satisfaction, his return to the republic in his present diplomatic capacity, as the representa tive of one of the most liberal, chivalrous, en lightened and truly powerful governments in Europe. From the A ew Orleans Bulletin of the 21th ult. Important from Campeacht. —By the schr. Callao, private letters, dated the 11th instant, have been received by a commercial house in this city. They state that a division of one thousand men has left 'he city of Campeachy, with a view to give battle to the Federalists in the vicinity of Merida, the capital of that State. The moment the division came in sight of the soldiers of the Central army, they abandoned their officers and went over to the Federal party. The comman dant of the Centralists with his staff, returned to Campeachy without a single solider in their company. Campeachy is now left without any garrison, save the picket guard that was left when the army went out. In the whole place there were only fifty soldiers, exclusive of the officers who had been deserted by their troops. The ci ty was in a had state of defence. Artillery was scarce and in bad order. The town, it was thought, would soon be taken possession of by the Liberal party. The greater part of the inhabitants were in favor of Federalist opinions, and there is little cause to doubt the speedy triumph of the cause of libei ty in the Slate of Yucatan. Banks axp Chkdit.—We have not seen, in any of his fugitive writings, the practical charac ter and line philosophical turn of mind of the Hon. Henuy VI. Biiackenuiiioe mure striking ly exemplified than in the annexed passage which we extract from a late letter of his to a friend, which we find ii) the Western papers; “ According to the specie standard, which seems to oe the lavorite measure of the pseudo chainelion democracy of the present day, the price of labor is to be reduced to onc-fiUh of its present amount, so as to l>e on a level with the cheap slave labor of Cuba; and, as other things j are regulated by it, the value of its products, and j of real and personal property, must fall in the | same proportion ; while debts, taxes, ground rent; j articles of foreign production, and salaries of offi cers shall remain stationary, And this idle chi j mera is honored with the name of democracy ! j The banks, it is said, stand in the way, and bar ; the entrance to Ihe golden city. But’ these are j now prostrate; th y cun hardly help themselves i —they areforp d. tike those animats which pass j the winter in sleep. We cannot blame !hem ; the community does not suffer from what they do, hut because they do comparatively nothing; and a large propor tion of that community is for doing without them altogehcr. And since, they have been par tially suppressed, have we had better times, bet ter markets mure regular employment tor our workshops, a more steady improvement for our country, or any new impulse to our internal trade 1 No; on the contrary every thing is pros trate. It this be the case now, what will it he when they sh ill he entirely destroyed, and ren dered incapable of affording any relief? But things will come right after a while; in the mean time we must suffer nod live in hope. So said the man who attempted to teach his horse to five without eating. The experiment of the snecie standard, which I most sincerely hope may be the last in the series, has actually commenced; we are now suffering under it. “ When the vast amount of active capital cir culated by the banks, at a moderate interest, shadl be withdrawn from business and enterprise, a very large portion of it will remain idle and unemployed, be permanently invested on mort gages, orient out ou usurious interest; out much the larger portion of it. founded on the credit sys tem, must be entirely annihilated. The whole amount of that arttfi -ial capital, the great inven lion of modern times, which produces all the substantial effects, of reality, and is in tact based on reality, will cease to exist. In one of the tales of the genii, we read of a person who re ceived a most precious favrtr as a reward for some good action —it was a spigot inserted in one oi the pillars which supported the roof of the house from which he could draw as much wine as ht pleased. Being actuated by a foolish curiosity s/he cut into the pillar to the bottom of the peg, s when he found a single grape ! But , from that 1 time, his invaluable gife was no mure / “The Federal Ailmm.stration are now labor - ingto establish a National Hank, under a feigned e name, of which the President of the United - States and the new phalanx of office holders, I the treasury keepers, are to be directors, and the e army of office-hold rs to be the beneflc : aries.

S. sloop of war Erie, Wm. t V. Taylor. Esq. commander arrived at Pensacola . last week from Vera Cruz. The Pensacola states J that Santa Anna was about leaving Mexico, and t j had already demanded his passports. , A love Spell.—Two men have recently been f condemned, by the Court of Assize at Rouen, * France, one to five years and the other to three * years confinement at the hulk, for having extor -4 ted 2000 francs from an old man who was in love r with a young girl under the pretence that a rah e j hit’s tail which they sold to him for the money in i question, would, with their cabalistic aid. compel i. I the damsel to love him in spite of herself!—Bus a 1 ton Trans. Boston in the Olden Time.—The flow ing paragraph is from the ‘Huston Gazette and the County Journal,’ of Sept. 19, 1757. The person icferred to is the same, the celebrity of 1 whose feats drew from that notable punster, Ma ’ thcr Hyles, the famous remark, so clten quoted \ in former times. Dr. Byles was asked by a s friend if he had seen-the man fly. No, sir—re- T plied the Reverend wit: I have seen a horsefly. Tuesday afternoon, John Childs, who had giv s en public notice in our last ot his intention to fly e from the steeple of Dr. Culler’s ehu-ch, perform* r 1 ed it, to the satisfaction of a great number of '• spectators; and Wednesday, in the afternoon, he again performed it twice; the last time he set off e with two uistols loaded, one of which he dischar ged in his descent, the other missing fire, hecock * ed and snapped again before he reached the place * prepared to receive him. It is supposed from the ' steeple to the place where the rope was fixed, was about seven hundred eet upon a slope, and that 'J he was about 16 or 18 seconds performing it each time. As these performances led many people from their b isiness he is forbid flying } any more in the town. The said Childs says he has flown from the highest steeples in Eng land. and from the Monument by the Duke of Cumberland’s desire. s s , Bor leva tins.—When Paris ceased to be a y fortified city, the walls and towers which had fall -1 en to decay, were taken down and removed, and j the moats filled up. The wide space remaining, 1 after this had been done, suggested to the mind 8 ‘>l Louis XIV, the idea of converting it into a . road and planting it with liees. Four rows of . trees were set out; between the middle rows was the carriage path, and between the middle and outer rows, on hoih sides, were the walks. A few years only were necessary, by the growth of the trees, tor the Parisians to see the beauty, and * experience the benefit of this street or road. ■. Since that time, streets or avenues, straight, ~ round, circuitous and every other imaginable 3 form, planted in the same manner, with four rows ] of trees, generally elm on linden, have been laid , out in and ab »ut Paris—and for a walk or ride, f by day or night, by sun or moon, nothing of their kind can exceed their beauty and interest. Bou-c . levards are now not common to Paris only, but [ are found, of more or less beauty, all over France . Germany and Helgiurn, and indeed all over the [ continent of Europe. .In some places they cun ■ stitute a part of the great highway, and are from twenty to thirty miles in extent.’ V:u rollon, hour after hour, over the hard, smooth and shady ■ roads, with as much interest and pleasure as you would ride through the Boston Mall. A Warm Corpse.—The New York Sjn - day Mo ning News tells a story of a couple of resurrectionists, who stalled for a subject one cold night, in a small covered wagon, and suc ; ceeded in finding one. When they had disinter : red the body, they dressed it up in a frockcoat, hat, &c.. placed it between them in their wagon, and started Jor heme. The weather being very cold, aod coming in sight of a tav «rn. they conclu ded to stop and ‘-fake a drink,” which they did, leaving their inanimate companion sitting erect upon his >eat, with the horse’s reins lying in his ' lap. The ostler observing three individuals in the wagon when it was driven up, and noticing 1 that but two went ;nto the house, thought he would inquire of tin third why he did not follow bis companions. So he walked up to the wagon | and asked the reason of Ins remaining behind. No answer was returned. After questioning tire ’ dumb gentleman some lime, he look hold of him, and found that his hand was upon a head man ! j Although terrified at first, his mind soon solved , Hie mystery, he recollected that one of the indi viduals who was sipping toddy at the bar was a ’ medical -tudent. “So,” savs the ostler. “PH ’ have some fun with these I nks.

M j , If there ts any thing disagreeable in the social j circle, really loathsome in any kind of society it ; j is to hear a poverty stricken aristocrat, too lazy to } work, and ashamed to beg, talk of what he once - ; was of rich uncles, aunts, and cousins— of the 1 j splendor of his father’s mansion, and his mother's ! » j “ tirst society.” He had better date his origin in 1 j a hog-sty, and the public, now bored to death * !

A Sion.—There was a gathering of the peo- i ' pie in Brookville, Indiana, on the 19th inst. to 1 : consider the evils under which the whole country is laboring, through misgovernment, and to de» vise a remedy for those evils. In a remark up on the subject, tne Brookville Ameiican of the j 21st says: The meeting was large and enthusi- | astic, and evinced more determination to “do ’ their own voting.” than we ever saw manifested at any former public meeting. It is stated as a singular fact, that of the four female sovereigns who have occupied the throne of England, not one ever was a mother. Three out of tbe four were married : the first Mary, married to Philip of Spain; the second Mary, join ed in her sovereignty with the ever to be remern- 1 bered husband, the hero of Boyne—and Anne, j married to Prince Geo. of Denmark—Elizabeth | never was married. None of the three, however, left a child to inherit her crown.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS^ DR W. EVANS’ CELEBRATED SOOTHING SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth..— This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chi.- dren, when thought past recovery, from convu 1 - sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the gums, the child will recover. The preparation is so innocent, so efficacious and so pleasant, that no child will refuse to let its gums be rubl ed with it. \\ hen infants are at the age of four months, though there is no appearance of teeth, one boll e of the Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup in the nursery wheic there are young ciuid.i-n ; for if a child wakes in the night with pain in U e gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the pores Mid healing the gums; thereby preventing convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Wm. Evans’ Medical (Jjjice, 100 Chatham street, New York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all diseases of children.
