After the adjournment of EMyert Court, Mr. T, will spend a lew days in Lincoln County.— We hope our friends will onsite an effort to pay us, when our agent calls on them. Be ye all ready! Mr. Richards will give his introductory Lec ture on Natural Science this evening, at the Masonic Hall. The Philadelphia North American ofSaturday says:—We are inclined to thirik the conserva tives have the majority in the Convention, and if so, the Governor will be sustained and the “im mediate resumption” when whipped in. Maryland Bank Bill.—-The Senate had the bank bill from the House unJer discussion on Wednesday, and, after having been amended by the adoption of a -substitute! offered by Mr. Stewart, it was passed by a vote- off II to 9. The Senate’s bill fixes the period of fes urnption of spe cie payments by the banks on the Isth January next, or within ten days after the hanks in Phila delphia or Virginia shall resume, if those banks resume before that day. The Virginia Stale Conver.tloi , which recent ly nominated President Van Bi reii for re-elec tion, and James K. Polk for the \ ice Presidency, resolved that it was inexpedient! tc send delegates to the National Convention, whi :h is to meet in Baltimore in May next. Explosion.—Beatty’s powder mill, situated seven miles from Baltimore, on. the Baltimore and Susquehanna Railroad, blew up on the morning of the 6th instant, about’half past nine o’clock; supposed to have been caijsed by a small vent from the oven. No one injured, it having occurred while the hands were ut breakfast. Flour at Cincinnati on the 23th, $3 50. The Philadelphia Inquirer-of the 6th inst. says :—We beard a rumour yesterday, that Le vis, the absconding Cashier, hail reached Ma tanzas—also that a letter had been received from him, in which he explains someijif the most im portant transactions in relation to| the Kentucky Bank Stock. We give this stoiry for what it is worth, without vouching for Usaiffhenticity, Money Market in Philadelphia. The U. S. Gazette of Friday haji the following paragraphs; r M triced Checks. — IT e difficulties to which we referred yesterday, relative to the frefusal of cer tain banks to receive the “ raarked| checks,” con tinued through the day, though *we believe it was not so extensive as on Wednesday. The operation of this mode of mariiilg the cheeks “ good” is particularly unpleasant Ito those who reside in New York, and wish eithlr to remit or demand ; and as a cons iquence, yesterday bank notes wore at a premium. We beleve that most of the banks received the marked l.hecks in pay ment, though many of them dt| lined taking them on deposit. ij Something New. —We noticeci i Asterday that there were ho sales of stocks at tb| First Board, and only saie of seven shares of Uhion Bank of Tennessee at the Second Board. I This is a re markable instance. I The Enquirer of Saturday the mild weather, and the navigable condition of our rivers, business has been sadly inaijive in Phila delphia throughout the week. Tiie chief diffi culties have grown out of the apprehended action of the Legislature, and the refusal If most of the banks to pay out their notes. Tht- drafts from a distance have in some instances Ifeen dishonor ed, liecause the gentlemen in this |‘ity to whom they were sent for acceptance, c Jtf J not obtain any description of currency in which to pay them. In one or two instances, premium as high as $ per cent, has been pad lj;r bank notes —the means of payment being cfccks marked “good.” The general result has oeljn to limit all money operations, as well as to decrease the sales ot stocks in an unprecedented manner. Flour has been very' active. As many as|So,ooo bids, have changed hands during the v,Uek, at prices varying from $1 87 h to $5.” > —5, From the Baltimore American of htatarday. Distressing event fire aiuHlDeath. About nine o clock last night a tire occurred in the lower part of a large four al ary house in South Liberty street, next to the corner of Ger man street, occupied by Mr. F. Schalinever, up. holslerer, who. we regret to say. was burnt to death, and his wife and child so mu! h injured by the fire and s itlocaficn as to leave Tut little hope that they can survive. I It is supposed that the unforturfate sufferers were asleep and when awakened |hy the fire, they retreated into the fourth story, from which they were afterwards taken by the firemen, who entered the apartment by a ladder. Mr. S. was found lifeless, but his wife and child were still alive when the firemen reached them and al though every effort was made to restore them they were so much burnt,—-the flesh o the face and body of both having partly fallen off, that there was believed to be no probability of their recovery. 3 Successful Effort of the Uioo'Jhouuds. Within a few days, Major Loomis. U. S. A. has captured an Indian on the W;icassa<sa, by means of our excellent Cuban auxiliaries. ft was done in very handsome style, land so deli cately that the most sqearnish of tile Northern vympathizers. might have been defiiihted to wit ness it. When the “trail” was su ick and fol lowed for some time, the dogs hedilrie verv im patient of the leash, and by a sudden ilntnd, broke loose from their keepers and dasir 1 away in gallant style. The troops followed lon through the hushes, and in a short time carle up to the scene of action, where the noble dtlp (2.) had floored a gigantic savage, and held lim on the ground, without appearing disposed! to do him farther injury. I Tfie means are now certainly cf covered of ending the war in good earnest, Ind almost without hi tod shed, and is rincerehjlmped that the Government, will immediately pr l ure two or three hundred dogs for the purpose J producing such moral effect on the savages, as |vill induce 1 them at once to surrender. It is now made cert ain that 1000 men, with 100 dogs, will accom plish more than 10.000 without them. A much smaller force will be sufficient to end the war, and countless millions will he saved to the country, if a sufficient number of dogs can be procured. The Indian thus pul hors du com bat, was wretchedly frightened, and on coming to his usual equanimity, offered with the honesty of bis tribe, to conduct the “ gallant dogs” to where a parly of five more red skins were en camped. — St. Augustine News, B th ind. For the Chronicle 4- Sentinel. Mr. Editor: —You know, and I know, that an unceasing warfare, waged with unrelenting malignity, against tl-e credit, commerce and character of the country, has for many years been the business of our rulers. It is time men should rouse up and speak their wrongs, with the “ voice of men’s hearts,” in the ears of the faithless and heartless. From the President of the United States down, with some exceptions, their employ ment has been to humbug and deceive the peo ple. And what are the results 1 Behold your country ! A ruined currrcncy, a suffering peo ple ! The people, unwilling to be’ieve, have thus far sustained the spoilers. Take one case: for some time past, under this malign influence, s dp building has comparatively ceased—freights to Europe are now nearly 01 quite fifty per cent over remunerating rates. Who pays these exor bitant prices? (and to British and other foreign ships we indebted, or cotton would lie still lower ) The cotton grower pays—not a bale of cotton is sold without inference to the high freight. Be it remembered, that an unholy war upon any branch of the honest industry of the country, is a war upon all. The producer may te the last to feel it, but feel it he will and does. The t nder mercies of our ruling politicians are destruction. Their whole policy is destruction— destruction to every thing that is worth preserv ing—that the people, broken in heart and purse, may bow down to elevate them as the golden calf to worship. There is no hope but in a change. \Ve cannot change for worse—it will be for ..he better. hope. From the Pendleton Messenger. Calhoun, February 22d, 1840. Dr. F. W. Stmmes, — Sir: You will very much oblige me by pub lishing in the Messenger the following extract of a letter from the Hon. Waddy Thompson to myself dated at Washington, January 30/A 1840. I have the honor to remain, Yours &c., J. P. REED, “ The Sub-Treasury Bill requiring the whole revenue to be paid in specie has passed the Senate and will pass the House if the administration party are sincere. The clause authorizing the re ceipt of government paper has been stricken out. I said you know that the object at first was to destroy the Banks and reduce us to an exclusive gold and silver currency. It was not only denied but I was charged with insincerity for saying so —now the mask is thrown off and the advocacy of a sfiecie currency is open and undisguised, (see the speeches of Walker and Buchannan, and Benton.) The people are now suffering as no people have ever suffered before, and the half has not yet been realized. Why is it, but for these experi ments upon the currency ? The banks are soun der than they ever was, especially those in our own State, and yet they are forced to suspend. It is not their interest to do so for their currency is mluced and their profbs of course Are the Banks to be crushed ? If so must not the people he the sufferers ? They owe to the banks SUO millions; the banks owe the people less'than 150 millions. I also predicted at the beginning of this matter that the North would be kssa suf ferer than 1 13 South and West. W hat has been the result? New York and the whole North is comparatively at ease whilst throughout the whole South there is nothing but ruin, dismay and despair. Ido most sincerely believe that by no one act iff legislation was as much ruin and mis e-y inflicted on any people, and we ot the South are the chief sufferers. That such will he the undivided opinion in lime, I have never doubted, and doubt less every day of my life. It is a very poor satisfaction however that I should be proven a true prophet by the universal distress and suf fering of myself and friends. If any thing more than another is calculated to excite indignation it is that ti e authors of these things should at tempt to th ow the blame from their own shoul ders upon the banks. It is like the rvolt who quarrelled with the lamb who was drinking be low, for making the stream muddy. What were the banks to do hut to call in their hills ? There was no ban* whose bills in circulation did not exceed their specie—there has been no such bank in our country. If they were required to pay specie they must reduce their circulation. They have doubtless, curtailed their profits; and now they are abused for making money scarce. The loss to the South alone from this cause, (the scarcity of money) is beyond calcu lation. There has not been money enough to pay tor our crops, and cotton has no lime during the past fall, commanded the price in our mar kets which the price in Liverpool justified. Determined as you know I am. to quit public life, it is my wish to get through the remainder of my term as quietly as I can. But I fine, it dif ficult to restrain myself in speaking of mens ures and their authors, which have caused, and are causing so much suffering to the great mass of the people and are only benefiting salaried officers ami shavers and usurers. It is a golden harvest to tiiose classes. The leading topics in the speeches of two of the leading men of the administration party (Buchanan and Walker) is that the destruction of paper money will reduce wages, and :hus secure the American market to the American manufacturer. Ido not doubt that such will be the result and have always said so. Is this a recommendation to us of the South? Is it desirable to us to exclude foreign goods, and give the market exclusively to the American manufacturer? if so. adopt this policy for it will be a protective Tarff to the extent of prohibition. To reduce the wages of labor may be desirable to office holders whose salaries are fixed by law. and to men who have money already accumula ted and hoarded. But Ido not think that it is desired by the laboring classes. Most truly, your friend, W. THOMPSON, Jr. Capt. J. P. Reed.” Supreme Court. —Our correspondent at W ashington writes to us under date of the sth inst, as follows ; Pue court have decided to hear no new cases, alter to-dav, and separate on Monday next In regard to the case of Holmes, of Vermont, which I alluded to yesterday, the court did not reverse the decision of the Supreme Court of Vermont Four of the Judges were of opinion that this court had no jurisdiction of the matter, and the point at issue was whether the Governor of Ver mont had a light to deliver Holmes up to Can ada.—Balt. Am. 6th inst. Cask of Holmes, the MuaDEHEB.^-Our Washington correspondent writes, under date of the 6th. s The t hies Justice of the Supreme Court has ! made a decision to-day in reference to Holmes, of Vermont, the man whom the Executive of Ver mont icfused to deliver to the Canadian govern ; ment. The Chief Justice decides that the Su preme Court havejurisdiction over the matter in ► question ; and denies that the Executive of Ver mont had the power to do what he did in regard to Holmes. A raajo ity of the Associate J ustices agree to the former conclusions, but not the lat ter. — Balt. Amer. Life of Gen. Harrison. —We have the pleasure to announce the re-publication of the Life of Harrison, written by John M. Files. Esq. of Connecticut, in 1821. We hope the fact of Senator Niles’ preferring Mr. Van Buren will not prevent people from reading all the good things he has said of Gen. Harrison. It is curious aid true that the highest compliments paid to the He ro of Tippecanoe are from Richard M. Johnson and John M. Niles! !— N. Y. Star. Proscription. — We learn from the Raleigh Register that Gen. Beverlt Daniel, who has served as a United States Marshal «ince Mr. Jefferson’s administration, and who is one of the most respectable citizens of the State, has been re moved from office. The cause of Mr. D’s remo val may be traced to the fact that, in appointing persons to take the Census, he did not appoint all Van Buren men, but selected some Whigs. Here we have the fruits of Mr. Wall’s Report, and here we see the United States deprived of the services of an excellent officer, because he would not become the tool and parasite of pow er. Mr. D’s removal has excited great indigna tion throughout the State, and will go far to open the eyes of the people to the misdeeds of the Ad ministration. — Petersburg Intell. From the Madisonian. Striking Developcinent. Our vigilant correspondent “Q,” has placed in an effective point of view the economical preten sions of this administration. The people may look at this table, which is compiled from the public documents, and then at the President’s message, and judge of the sincerity and honesty ■ otour rub rs on this important subject of expen diture. This table should be everywhere pub lished. A Looking Glass. — Expenses of tue Government. 1825 $11,490,459 1826 13.062 316 1827 12.653,095 1828 13,296.041 Mr. Adams’ administration $50,3u 1,911 ■ Average for each year $12,575,477 1829 $12,660,460 1830 13.229.533 1831 13.864,067 1832 " 16,516,388 1833 22.713.756 1834 18.425.417 1835 17.514.950 1836 30.868.164 Gen Jackson’s administration $145,792,735 Average for each year $18,224,092 1837 $39,164,745 1838 40,427,218 1839 31,815.000 Mr. Van Buren’s 3 first years, $111,406,955 Average for each year $37,135,651. Look at the above table, and recollect that the administrations of Adams and Jackson, paid off the public debt, distributed a large surplus among the States, and left the nation free from debt to Mr. Van Buren. Then look at the facts that the i present administration has expended the immense sums shown in the table—made noap| ropriation for ffarbors or the Cumberland road last year— and now demands $5,000,000 of Treasury notes to enable it to get along. These facts are presen ted to the candid reader of all parties. They are not to he met before the people with the cry of ‘•Federalism and Democracy.” Is it not time that the people came to the rescue of their coun try, from the rule of a party of office-holders, whose principles are “/o the victors belong the spoils ,” and the larger the amount, the greater the dividend amongst them ? From the Key West Floridian. An amusing scene occurred one afternoon du ring the past week, which exhibited, in a forcible and lively manner, the influence which Wrecking exercises over tropical Floridians. A crowd had gathered in s*n auction room, and the active , knight of the hammer was “selling off at less than co t!” in a most beautiful style. “Here gentle men is a most elegant coat! made for a private gentleman by a London tailor—-just imported— ; what say you for it! give us something; start it at two bits !—two bits, two bits, all done at two bits!—Mr. Jones, two bits !—Next followed a lot of bells, pincushions, window curtains, fancy vests pantaloons, and pen knives. The interest of the crowd was now fully aroused; bids came •* thick , I hot, and heavy,” and from bits they rose to dol lars, and just as the auctioneer was crying ‘five knives for two bits, gentlemen, that’s 100 bad,” a cry of “there’s a was heard from some one in the street —and a rush for the door was in stantly made. The purchasers of cheap coats and pants ran with them half on, in ihe act of trying their fit, and the buyer of table hells rang a chime from every pocket, as he secured his purchase, ar.d bound along the wharf to get a sight of the wreck. The auctionerju r,p 1 over the counter, begged that genlemen would let him have a fair start! Never was a room so suddenly evacuated. The sudden appearance of a congreve rocket, or the new French patented bombshell, could not quite have created greater rap.dity of motion. Peculiar Habits ol Musical Composers. Gluck —ln order to warm his imagination, and transport h mself to Aulis or Sparta, was accustomed to place himself in the middle of a beau life i meadow. In this situation, with a piano before him, and a bottle of Champagne by his side, he wrote his two ‘lphigenias,’ his ‘Orpheus,’ besides many other works. Sar n On the contrary, required a spacious dark room, dimly illuminated by a lamp suspended from the ceiling, and it was only in thj most silent hours of the night he could summon musi cal ideas. Ci M Alios —Was fond of noise ; he liked to have his friends about him when he composed. Fre quently in the course of a single night he wrote the subjects of eight or ten charming airs, which he afterwards finished in the midst of his friends. Crerubina—W 7 as also in the habit of com posing when surrounded by company. If his ideas did not flow very freely, he would borrow a pack of playing cards from any parly engaged with them, and fill up the pips with faces carica tured, and all kinds of humorous devices ; for he was as ready with his pencil as his pen, though not equally great with both. Sacchint. —Could not write a passage except when his wife was at his side, and unless his cats whose playfulness he admired, were gambolling about him. ,Zi N 6 a belli—Wou Id dictate his music after reading a passage in one of the fathers of the Church, or in some Latin ('lassie. Hayden —Solitary and sober as Newton, put ting on his finger the xing sent him by Frederick ll* and which he said was necessary to inspire his imagination, sat down to his piano, and in a few moments soared among his choirs. Nothing I disturbed him at Eiseustadit, the seat of Prince Eslerhazy; he lived wholly for his art, exempt from worldly cares, and often said that he always enjoyed himself most when at work. Extensively laid out. —A Remarkable Coincidence. —A letter writer for the N. Y. Signal, writing from “on the Mississippi,” says that the valley of that river is “extensively laid out.” Curious as it may appear, the same idea struck us once upon a time while descending the Mississippi from St Louis.— Picayune. Murder at Jackson, Miss. —James R. Whelan, a clerk in the I nion Bank of Missis sippi, was basely murdered in front of the Capi tol. at Jackson, on the 11th ult. by a man named Potnroy. They were both intoxicated at the time, when a petty dispute arising, Pomroy drew a bowie knife, and slabbed Whelan mortally. Pomroy has been arrested. A Hard Case. — lt is stated in a Baltimore paper that a woman was arrested on one of the cold nights last week for stealing three billets of wood, to make fire to keep her three children from freezing. When taken to the watch-house she begged most earnestly to be allowed to go to them or have them brought to her as they would freeze to death. Her request was refused, and in the morning the children were found frozen to death. This is a brief commentary upon the high rogue who robs to the amount of millions escapes, and the poor who steals to prevent death is punished. Among the toasts drunk at the Clay dinner in Richmond, was the following : By A. Lawson of Logan. Wh : gs : The Lo cos taunt you with voting tor a Military Chieftain, and say that you < nee swore against voting for Generals. Answer them by stating the fact— that the issue is now made up between General Harison and “ General Ruin,” and as you have to choose between Generals, that you prefer the Military. A Frenchman’s Definition of a Broker. —“ Ah ! I mark von decouverle !—dat is tie raison vat for de peepellecoll de agent Brokair— it is hecose, vonne de personne have bizzeenesse vid him he become broke !” The Sleep of Childhood. —How lovely is the sleep of childhood ! What words, of sweet, yet not utteily associations, does it not mingle with the envy of our gaze! What thoughts, and hopes, and cares, and forebodings does it not excite ! There lie in that ungrieved and unsullied heart what unnumbered sources of emotion ! what deep fountains of passion and wo! Alas! whatever be its earlier triumphs, the victim must fall at last! As the hart which the jackalls pursue, the moment its race is begun, the human prey is foredoomed f>r destruction, not by the single sorrow, but the thousand cares; it may baffle one race of pursuers, hut a new succeeds; as fast as some drop off exhausted, springs up others to renew and to perpetuate the chase; and the fated, though flying victim, never escapes —but m death.— E. L. Bulmer, Complimentary.—A letter writer in the N. Y. Evening signal says that“ the staple produc tions of Natrhez and Vicksburg are mud, cotton, fleas, musquitos and bilious fevers; that distance, lends enchantment to these places with a ven geance, and that the farther you get from them the better you like them.” Duffield, McCardle, Besancon, Hagan, look here —how do you like that ? Why dont you “give him goss 1” COMMERCIAL. Latest dates from Liverpool, Jan. 7 Latest dates from Havre Jnn. 10 AUGUSTA MARKET. Cotton —Since our report a week ago, the mar ket has been very firm at an advance of an 3 to a $ of a <enton all descriptions, and a considerable business has been done; during the present week particularly, the market has been very firm and in favor of the holders, who, in many instances, are asking still higher prices; buyers are plenty, and purchase freely, »t our qaotations- The sales du ring the last week amount to 1765 bales, viz: 12 a O; 3 a SJ; 5 a 53; 6a s|; 4 a 6; 12 a 6*; 8 a 6§; 46 a 63; 32 a 6|; 28 a 7; 73 a 7|; 110 a 7£; 151 a ?j; 37 a 7£; 740 a 8; 142 a 8%; 200 a S a 8f; 17 a S 3; and 2 Nankin a 17. Up to the time our enquiries ceased last evening, the market was quite firm, at our quotations on Tuesday morning, which we continue to-day; re narking, however, that very little is sold as low as 53, and it requires a choice lot, in square bales, to command 83.

Groceries - This branch of the trade, although better than it was some weeks since, is neverthe less dull, compared with former seasons; the mar ket, however, is generally well supplied with alj descriptions, at very fair prices for cash. Sugar —The stock on hand is very good, and prices range from 9to 11 cents for St. Croix, 73 to 9 for Matanzas, and 53 to 63 fjr New Orleans.

Remarks —Since our report of Saturday last, quite a large number of steamboats and flatbo.its have arrived at our port, with full cargoes of Cot ton, Tobacco, Western produce, &c., which have caused the Levee to present a more animated ap pearance than we have before noticed for many montiis. None of the piojucts of the interior, however, yet enjoy a very active demand, and with regard to most articles the market may be said to be even dull, with increasing stocks and declining prices. Scarcity of money and advanced rates of freight—particularly the latter —have the elivct materially to depress almost all articles of export. Some little rain has fallen since Friday, but gen eialiy the weather has been clear and pleasant.

In our review of Saturday morning we stated that the cotton market closed on the evening pre vious, with a fair demand, at the prices then quo ted. The tr.ui actions of Saturday amounted to upwards of 5000 bales, and though holders, in some instances, were compelled to make slight conces sions in favor of buyers, prices on the whole were tolerably well sustained. On Monday there was a very extensive business done, nearly 8.000 bales having changed hands, and at rat°s about the same as those current on Saturday. The market, yes terday, was extremely quiet, the demand having all at once subsided,and the sales did not amount • to more than 2,000 bales. Our quotations, it will be observed, are the same as previously. The sales during the three da3 - s may be set down at 15 000 bales, we notice them as follows, \ iz: 125 Louisiana and Mississippi at cents; 319 at 8. 393 at 7f; 42 at sg; 130 at 8j; 550 at 8^; 765 at —; 117 at 201 at 6§; 988 at —; 81 at 75 at Si; 60 at 1880 at —; 30 at 65; 82 at 8; 662 at '; 1700 at —; 634 at 6j£; 880 at 64; 100 at 110 a 7j£; 88 at 7g; 142 at 7; 18 at 6g; 65 at 63; 24 at North Alabama at 75; 130 at 6g; 77 Mobile at 9£; 125 at cents.
