We alluded on Tuesday, says t the Richmond
Whig, to a certain Speculation, .which is more
elaborately detailed in the following article from
& New York paper: }
One of the Speculutions.of Martin Van Bu
ren. !
“ Sweet Auburn, loveliest village j|)f the plain.”
1 Goldsmith.
The Albany Argus, in a recent article, finds
fault with Mr. V\ ebster for borrowing money
upon bond and molrgage upon property which
the Argus deems inadequate security for the loan.
It is difficult to conceive how the public can have
any interest in the matter, even were tho lega
tions of the Argus true. Mr. W! baler has not
been guilty of fraud or evasion ; nay, more, the
person who advanced the money ivqs and is sa
tisfied with the security. Can the;Argus say as
much of one of the President’s speculations, to
which we will now call its attention !
A few years ago. Gov. Throop jind Mr. Van
Buren conceived the idea of a magnificent spec
ulation in building lots at Anburq in this State.
Determined to realize the golden hsion, and re
gardless of the “dangerous tenderxnes of associ
ated wealth.” th w y disclosed the project to a few
of the faitnful, and finally formed a company,
consisting of ten persons, including themselves.
Two of the members were crothed with the pow
er of agents and trustees, being he hofized to
make purchases and take the tit'e lin their own
names. They t urchased all the vacant and un
appropriated lands in the vicinity of Auburn, un
til the property ot the association ’encircled the
whole village. The trustees then borrowed one
hundred thousand dollars, and gave a fond and
mo tage upon the lands for that auburn.
As these speculators dreamed oijdy of profits,
care was taken to provide by a legiu instrument
for sharing the losses. Under die pressure of the
times the speculation turns out to boa villainous
ly had one and most of the are now in
solvent. The mortgage is in course of foreclos
ure, and the trustees, have celled tSpon their co-
partners to sign an agreement proving for a jv>:nt
liability of all the parties, for any deficiency in
the amount realized by the sales, to satisfy the
mortgage. Nothing it would seem could be more
fair and proper, and such it appears is the opin
ion of all the associates, save one. The Presi
dent of the United States alone refuses to sub
scribe to such a liability. The effect of the posi
tion he insists upon is, that if the properly should
sell for more than its cost he would share one
tenth of the profits, and it the mortgage is fore
closed and the proceeds of the sale should not
satisfy one quarter of it, the trusters must lodk
to the insolvent associates, severally not jointly,
for an indemnity, “Heads I win, tails you loose,”
was probably the mode in which Mr. Van Van
Buren in his early years tossed up coppers with
the boys of Kinderhook.
One of the reasons given by the President
for refusing to make himself responsible in the
way desired, is, that he has transferred the specu
lation to liis son John, and that therefore the
trustees should arrange the matter with him.—
Col. Brant when he found his case looked alarm
ing—when he had arrived at the conclusion that
a court, martial was about to pronounce him
guilty of tne charges on which he was arraigned,
resigned. President Van Buren, with ano less
praiseworthy caution, resigned the speculation
as soon as lie discovered that it would terminate
in loss instead of profit.
Well, and what says Prince John thus placed
“ in the footsteps of his illustrious” father! The
Prince delicately insinuates that he took thepre
sent of a share in the Auburn speculation foi pro
fit not loss. lie therefore modesty declines being
troubled with any personal responsibility ! The
trustees as yet, stand unprotected by any ac- |
knowlecgment of liability for either the President
or his son ; and they will probably, when t! e e
ficiency by the mortgage foreclosure is ascertain- I
ed, invite the Executive of the Union to submit
his case to the decision of the legal tribunals of i
the State.
As ah the associates involved in the dilemma, !
are partizans of the President, they may deem it j
advisable at this trying period, to endeavor to ex- j
plain away some of the bad, not to say fraudulent
features of this transaction. Our statement of
the matter is, we feel assured, substantially cor
rect, nor do we think it will be contradicted,
though attempts may be made at evasion. The
i trustees, we are quite certain, have too much at |
stake to abandon their position or exonerate the
President and his son fiom the liability which
they refuse voluntarily to assume.
If Mr. Van Buren carries his point, he will
save himself and ruin his trustees. That he will
save himselfif the law will permit him to do so
come what may to others, we have not the slight
est doubt.

ANOTHER INDEPENDENT POST-MASTER.
Joseph Beach, Esq., Post-master at Ridgeville, i
Madison county, instead of soliciting “dullais”!
for Amos Kandall, has boldly “declined that'
work.” The following is a copy cf Mr. Beach’s 1
Letter to the Ex-Post-Master General:—
Post Officf., Ridgeville,
Madison Co. N. Y. July 15, 1840. 3
Hon. Amos Kendall—
Sir—“ Our country presents a new spectacle
for the contemplation of the honest portion of
mankind.” A candidate for re-election to the
Presidency is asking the suffrages of our people,
and at t ie same time is unwilling to admit that
during the almost tour years of his past adminis
tration, the public Treasury has been “plunder
ed by more than a hundred hands;” the people
defied, “ a general embarrassment is spread over ;
the country,” and a“ flood of demoralization has
swept over the land, and upon some Slates it
rests in stagnant pools, contaminating the at
mosphere of liberty, and threatening death to
every thing virtuous, noble, and free. “A free
and intelligent people, whose precious right it is
to demand ot their rulers a full account of their
stewardship,” have been bluntly told when ma- j
king this reasonable demand to go home and go '
to work, and the Government will take care of
itself.” “ Thus they are told to relax that eter
nal vigilance which is truly the price of liberty,
and blindly submit themselves, if not to a King
who can do no wrong, to a chief magistrate who
assumes the altitude of irresponsibility, “ and sur
rounds himself’ with the attributes of a European
Monarch.
Y es, Sir, under Van Buren’s administration
“laws have been violated with impunity ; moral
obligations scoffed at and discarded ; knavery
walks the streets with the hold face of honesty;
and even high public functionaries who scoff at
and disregard the authority of the highest ju
dicial tribunal in the country ; “ obtain sympa
thy and forgiveness,” and “ while they are from
day to day plunderers ofthe public and public in
stitutions'’ still have the audacity to demand of
a suffer ng and oppressed people a renewal of
their suffrages! Such then, is the sad state of
things n this once “ properous and happy’’ re
public. “ How strongly docs” the cause of mor
ality, freedom and laws; the interests of agricul
ture, manufactures and commerce; the peace of
tiie counl ry; the rights of the people and the
safety and the improvement of our institutions”
cal! upon us a free people to hurl these Goths and
Vandals from power, and place in their stead (as
rulers) those who love and revere, and will prac
tice and carry out the pure principles of real in
stead of “sham” democracy. And finally, it is
the indispensable duty of every man who wishes
to secure the blessings of an honest representa
tive government, the right of property, the faith
ot contracts, the honor of his country and the
freedom of man, to oppose by all honorable
means the re-election of Martin Van Buren to
the Presidency of the United States, and use like
honorable means to secure the election of Gen.
William Henry Harrison to that important sta
tion.
I herewith return your prospectus for the “Ex
tra Globe,” and I cannot regret that I have not
complied with your request.
Yours, for Harrison, Tyler and Reform

Confessions of a wealthy Locofoco.
A few days since we met an old acquaintance
who had formerly been a strong Whig, but lie said
lie had tinned Locoloco. On our expressing our
surprise, he gave liis reasons in substance as fol
lows.—“Y r ou know,” said he, “I am a ]ar<'e
manufacturer, and employ a <;reat number of hands
Formerly, I had to pay them one or two dollars a
day, and then they prescribed their own hours and
rules. Now I hire these very men at 50 10 75 cts
a day, and I regulate the hours and rules. Then
they were independent, and would work or not as
best suited their purpose. Now they are cotppelled
to work or starve, and are as humble and thankful
as possible. By this reduction of wages, which
falls exclusively on them, I save,” said he, “eleven
hundred dollars a month, which in a year is twelve
thousand two hundred dollars. she articles I
manufacture sell as high as ever. Now,” said he
“ I Hke the doctrine. My men are so patriotic they
like it. I stia.ll, therefore, vote the Locofoco ticket
and if we can succeed and continue these times I
expect,” said he “ to get my wages reduced still
lurthcr.” This is the confession as near as we can
relate it. It is made b\ r one long shrewd in trade
and one who is now practising upon it.
A votiier fire.—Yesterday morning, at about
8 o’clock, a fire broke out in tire store of Mr. Jch 1
Johnson, No. 9, Ccnti-street. The building is
not v ry much injured; a warehouse in the
rear was totally destroyed. The store and
warehouse were filled with hay, all of which was
cither consumed or greatly damaged. We can
not learn tiie amount of loss, which it is said, is
covered by insurance.

Wilful and Deliberate Slander.
“ I am not unwilling to believe that many of
the Southern Whigs cordially hate Abolition —al-
though I cannot help suspecting that some of
them would like to see raging its threatened
storms, in the delusive hope of attaining, amid
the general confusion, some personal distinction.
— Dallas' Letter.
Remarking on the above, and another similar
extract from the late letter of G. M. Dallas, the
Fredericksburg (Va.) Arena says: —
“ The insinuation here made that any Southern
Whig would be so false to himself, to his family,
to his own interests, to his county, as to wish to
pec the consummation of the fell schemes of the
fanatical abolitionists, and that for “ personal dis
tinction,” is a base and infamous slander —such
as could have been uttered by no one but a fool,
or the lowest party hack. In another place, he
says, “ they, (the abolitionists) do not, perhaps,
constitute the whole of the opposition.” —Mark
this perhaps.—Of the Southern States, three-
I fourths are well known to be in opposition, and
j will vote for General Harrison, ana yet this
; well paid partizan has the audacity to do more
than insinuate that abolitionism and opposition
to Van Baiun are identical.”
New Jersey.
The Boston Atlas thus notices, in regard to
; this state, some signal instances of
Retributive Justice. —It is a remarkable
I fact, and one that should inculcate an important
| lesson to the servants of the people, never again
! to defy and trample upon popular rights, at the
beck of mere [tarty recklessness, that, of the eight
I members from Vermont and Maine who dared to
aid in consummating the New Jersey outrage,
and the passage of the Sub Treasury, but one
has been re-eltcted.
John Smith, Isaac Fletcher, Joshua A. Lowell,
Virgil D. Parris, and Albert Smith, have each
been rejected by the people whose confidence they
had abused ! Davee and Anderson were not
even candidates for re-election, and the constit
uents of the former have proclaimed in a thun
der tone, by a change unprecedented in a New
England district, tneir displeasure at his career of
political infamy.
[ » On the other hand, the 5 Whig members who ;
opposed to the utmost both outrages, have each
one been reelected by increased majorities, in no
; case less than a thousand, and by an aggregate
majority of 14.000!

The Field of Freedom.
What a sublime spectacle it is to see the whigs
1 of To-day, filled with the spirit of liberty, taking
possession of the fields of freedom, made glorious
| and immortal by the Whigs of the Revolution
j and of the last War! ’Twas a noble idea, that
I started this; and why should it not be carried out?
| The American People are now fighting the bat
-1 tie of another Revolution, —“ bloodless as yet,”
i in the language of the Globe, and to remain
: bloodless, but scarcely inferior in national impor
tance to the battles of our first great struggle for
| Liberty and Independence. Bunker Hill, B’ara
! toga, Brandywine, Monmouth, Tippecanoe, Fort
j Meigs and Erie, have all recently witnessed glo
) rious gatherings of such men as
—•*' from the woodland sprung.
When, through the fresh-awakened land.
The thrilling cry of Freedom rung.
And to the work of warfaie sttung
The jmoman’s iron hand.”
And next in turn comes tke Valley Forge En
-1 carnpment ground, and after that the plains of i
Vorktown ! At this latter place will be corumem
l orated the surrender of the sword of Cornwallis,
on the I9lh ot October. And preparations are
making lor such an assemblage of Iree-hearts of
i the Union, as will effectually banish the lust
; hope of retaining their power from the bosom of
the spoilsmen, as on that day in 1781,the armies
of Great Britain gave up their arms, and w ith the
last lingering hope of perpetuating their oppres
sions.
How gallantly, heart and the people have
entered into this business ! Let them keep it up
a little longer. The victory is theirs even now,
but it is necessary that the rout of their enemies
should be signal and complete. Stan i to your arms
men ! A few charges by state squadrons must
yet be made—then a quick charge, a strong
charge, and a charge altogether, and your coun
try will be redeemed, and another glory added to
the field offreedom.
Incredulity.—What an incredulous set the
American people must be !! ! The Van Buren pa
pers, Congressmen, Senator , as well Representa
tives, Heads of Departments and other small fry,
have declared on their sacred words and honor —
that Gen. Harrison was “a coward” —“a granny ”
—“no General'' —that he never fought a battle—
that he was not w'iliiin many miles of the butties
of Tippecanoe aud Thames, &c. &c., and yet a
majority of 16,000 of the people ot Kentucky—
-8.637 of those of Indiana—2,ooo of those of Loui
siana—10,000 of those of North Carolina—2,soo of
those of Virginia—upwards of 5,000 ®f those of
Connecticut —a large majority of those of Rhode
Island and 10,000 of the Green Mountain boys,
have all solemnly declared through the ballot box,
they do not believe a word, of all these reports.
Why tins incredulity ? Simply because every im
putation and charge made against Gen. Harrison is
utterly false, people are lovers of truth. —
Baltimore Gazette.
An amusing incident The last number of
the Harrisburg Pa. Chronicle gives the annexed
narrative of a very amusing little incident:
Not many weeks since a gentleman of Harris
burg, by the name of Henry Petriken, deputy
secretary of the Commonwealth of Pennsylva
nia, was on a visit to Bcllefonte, Centre eounlv.
While there he was requested to make a speech
to the faithful, or did it without being requested
—at any rate the speech was made. In the
course of it, as is customary with these small lo
co foco lights when they suppose there is no one
to contradict them, he declared General Harrison
to be a coward. —“Do you sav General Harrison
is a coward ?” Demanded an old man in the
crowd : “I do,” was the reply ofM--. H. Petriken.
“How do you know it?” demanded the same
old man. Here Mr. H. Petriken was brought
to a dead stand. ‘ Heahd not the documents” to
prove it; the Extra Globe had been left at
home. “Do you remember the man to whom
you paid §9O to join the army under General i
Harrison in the last war as a substitute 1 If yyu
don’t I do.” “Gentlemen,” continued the incor
rigible old man. putting his hand in his pocket
and pulling out an honorable discharge from
General Harrison, “Mr. Petriken gave me S9O to
take his place in the army, and I hold in my hand
my clearance from Gen. Harrison.” Mr. Petri
ken was confounded, so he opened not his mouth.
We trust this will be taken as a warning to all of
Gen. Harrison’s slanderers, at least to be extreme
ly cautious that there are none of Gen. Harrison’s
soldiers about before they begin to retail their
stale falsehoods.
Two genuine Republican pledges which
will be Redeemed.—“ Though averse from
pledges of every sort, I here openly and before
tile world declare that I will use all the power
«:ul influence vested in the office of President of
the Union to abridge the power and influence of

Speech at Day tan.
I pledge myself before Heaven and earth, if
elected President of these United States to lay
down at the end of the* term faithfully that high
I trust at the feet of the People! Igo farther. I

Which is the worst?— -Rufus King voted,
when in the Senate of the United States, that
Missouri should not have tl c privilege of holding
slaves in her borders. Ho has been the subject
of odium amongst Southern men ever since he
gave that vote. Perhaps though Mr. King gave
this unpopular vole under the influence of those
very instiuctions which had been principally got
ten up and supported by the Negro Witness
Chief, whilst a member of the New York Legisla
ture. W hich is the worst, the murderer who
stabs an individual to the heart, on his couch of
midnight repose, or the wretch who hires and
persuades him to perform the act?— Rat. Reg.
Baltimore Coffee Trade. —During the late
months of June, July and August, there were im
ported into Baltimore direct from foreign ports
65, 673 bags of Coffee, of which as we learn from
Lyford’s Commercial Journal, 41,951 bags were
from Rio de Janero, and 13,812 bags from St.
Domingo, Laguayra, Havana, &c. Last week
the stock of all descriptions in first hands was
about 6,400 bags—showing that the sales since
June last have been upwards of 50,000 bags—or
about fifteen millions of pounds, the value of
which was about $J .240,000. This is indeed a
handsome business, especially when it is borne in
mind that the principal part of the su!es were el
ected during the usually dull months of July and
August.— Bultimo) e American.
Niceties of Law.— ln a late court in Eng
land a singular case was brought forward, respec
ting the maintenance of a pauper. In the course
ot the evidence it appeared that the boundary be
tween the parishes ran across the room in which
the pauper slept.
In reference to this fact, one of the lawyers
said there had been a decision in a somewhat sim
ilar case, which had gone to determine that the
| p uish in which the bed of the pauper had been
placed w s the parish which was bound to main
tain the party. Another remarked, it was impos
sible that that decision could be maintained in ail
cases where such point was in dispute between eon
tending parishes, fur he well recollectd an instance
where the bed of the pauper had usually stood
across the boundary lines separating the two
parishes, and it turned out that the paupei had
; been accustomed to lay with his head in the one
1 and his feet in the other parish. luthat case the
| Court had held that the parish in which the head
: of the pauper had reclined was bound to support
: the body. Another begged to remind the Court
j that there was also another case—one in which
the pauper’s bed had been placed in such a po-i
--| tion as that the dividing line of the two parishes
had run, as it was shown, from the head to the
' heels—that was, length ways of the bed. There
| it had been held that the parish on which the
left hand side of the bed had been situated was
liable to the maintenance of the pauper, on the
g ound that the pauper’s heart, which was con
ceived to be the most important portion of the
contents of the frame of a human being, as well
as the most vital part of a man, was usually on
that side. In the present matter it was proved
that only fifteen inches of the bed was in St.‘
Giles’s parish, and as it became a question whe
ther a man could sleep in a space of fifteen in
ches wide, a special case was ordered to be sub
mitted to the Queen’s Bench !
The Execution of Major Andre.— Dr. Hall
of East Hartford, a surgeon in the army of the
revolution, was an eye witness to the execution
of Major Andre, standing w ithin four or five rods
of the scene. Noticing some inaccuracies in the
1 article we published from the Knickerbocker a
few days ago, he has called and related to us the
following particulars. He states that Andre
walked to the place of execution behind the cart,
accompanied by two officers, one on each side,
and stopped under the gallows. Arrived there,
he immediately stepped up into the cart, when
the officer of the day, Col. Scammell, said to him,
if you have any thing to say, you now have an
opportunity. He replied, I have nothing to say,
but. to have you bear witness that I die like a
brave man. Co!. S. then said to the hangman,
do your duty. He went to work so awkwardly
in attempting to putthe noose over Andre’s neck,
that Andre took it from him and made an effort
to do it himself. But his hat being in the way,
he let go the rope, took off his hat and stock and
laid them on the coffin, and unbuttoned his shin
collar and turned it down. He then pul the noose
over his head, and adjusted it to his neck ; took
out of his pocket a white handkerchief, with
which he bandaged his eyes ; and a blue ribbon,
which he handed to the executioner, requesting
him to tie his hands behind him. This being
done, Col. Scammell directed the cart to he driven
away. Andre was a sma I man and seemed hard
ly to stretch the rope, and his legs dangled so
much that the hangman was ordered to take hold
of them and keep them straight. The body was
cut down after hanging fifteen or twenty minutes,
and buried near the gallows. From the location
of thc'grave, Andre must have passed it in going
to the place of execution.
The Doctor thinks the account relative to the
attempts made by Washington to secure Arnold
and liberate Andre, must be incorrect. The
Court which sentenced Andre to death having
been held on the 20th September, only three davs
before his execution, the time allowed was not by
any means sufficient to permit such plans to be
successfully carried out, especially the one in
which Champe was said to have been concerned,
—Hartford Courunt.
Fast India Cotton.
A pamphlet has been published in London, in
relation to the formation of a joint-stock company
for the purpose of cultivating Cotton in India
The paper in which we find it, alludes to the mat
ter as of great comm icial importance, ai d sa\ s :
“When we view the state of dependence in
which we are placed on the United States of Ame
rica for the raw material of a branch of manufac
ture which in forty years bss expanded until its
weal or wo almost involves our n tional exis.cncc
it must be self-evidently bad policy to depend so’
much upon one country for our supp ies. Rut
there is another object than mere political inde
pendence to be gained by the improvement of the
cultivation of the cotton plant in India, which, in
present circumstances, we deem of inestimable
value. Except tiie comparatively small portion of
Cotton which is at piesent furnished from the East
Indies, the whole of our • onsumplion is the pro
duce of slave labor. Now, the portion of the con
tinent of Asia which we already occupy, with the
adjacent islands, can doubtless be made to furnish
an almost illimitable supply by fire labor; and
this company may become the efficient means of
cutting up slavery by the roots. We observe that
the basis on which the company intend to proceed
is to instruct the native population in the most
approved mode of culture ; and we see no reason
why, in a very few years, cotton wool may not
become the basis of an exchange for our manufac
tured products to the extent of several millions per
annum ! *
Mode of Conducting Business on tuf.
Paris Bourse. —The mariner of conducting bu
siness at the Paris Stock Exchange differ mate
rially from that es ablished in London. The
agen de change alone are authorised by Jaw to
Purchase or sell public securities. All respecta
ble business, whether for cash or the end of the
month, is transacted by them—not as in London,
through the medium of the third party, called the
jobber—but directlygwith each other.* They sel
dom communicate to their principals the names
of the person with whom they deal; hut they
report each bargain-as it is made, and answer at
the end ot the mouth for the balance due to him.
1 hey are very cautious in doing business with
the public, and they generally require a deposit,
or couverture. as it is called, from two to four
per cent on the sum bought or sold, before ihey
will deal for the end of the month. Their profits
arc enormous, as about sixty agents engross;
the whole respectable business of the Bourse, and
as they only encounter losses when some great
banker fails, or some brother agen de change
slops payment. The ageus de change compose
w hat is called “parquet;” but their is another body
in the Exchange called the coulisse, consisting
of speculators of all classes ana fortunes, who
are beyond the law. and who do business with
each other on parole. There are respectable men
to be found in the coullisse, but many persons
are admitted into it who have very little to re
commend them. Their operations are all for
time, and in Three per Cents only. Several
members of the coulisse as broker.-; for speculators
out of the market, hut their chief occupation
consists in catching from each other the turn of
the market. It rarely happens that the parquet
and coulisse take the same view of public affairs;
and the former hacked by the great capitalists,
are usually the bulls, while the latter usually are
bears. In both the small fry are sacrificed—soon
er or latter they are carried down the stream, as
the rich bankers, at sated limes combine and ex
ecute them without mercy.
The Intemperate Husband.
BY CiIAULKS SPR AO UK.
It is my friend, in the degradation of a hus
band by intemperance, where she who has ven
tured every thing, feels that she is lost. Who
shall protect her when the husband of her choice
insults and oppresses her 1 What shall delight
her when she shrinks from the sight of his face
and trembles at the sound ot his voice ?
The hearth is indeed dark, that he has made
desolate. There, through the dull midnight
hour, her griefs are whispered to herselt; but her
bruised heart bleeds in secret. There, while the
cruel author of her distress is drowned in distant
revelry, she holds her solitary vigil, waiting, yet
dreading his return, that is but to wring Irom her
by unkindness, tears even more scalding than
those she shed over his transgressions.
To fling a deeper gloom across the present,
memory turns back and broods over the past. —
The joys ot other davs come over her as if only
to mock her grieved and weary spirit.
She recalls the ardent lover whose graces won
i her from tne home of her infancy, the enraptured
father who bent with such delight over his new
born children ; and she asks if this can be the
same ; this sunken being wno has now nothing «
for her but the sol’s disgusting brutality; nothing
for those abashed and trembling children, but the
sot’s disgusting example !
Can we wonder that amid these agonizing mo
ments, tho tender chords of violated affection
should snap asunder? That the scorned and
deserted wife should confess “ there is no killing
like that which kills the heart!” That though
it would have been hard to kiss for the last time
the cold lips of a dead husband, and lay ais body
for ever in the dust, it is harder still to behold
hi n so debasing in life, that even death would
be greeted in me cy.
Had he died in the light of his goodness, be
queathing to his family the inheritance of an un
tarnished name, and the example of virtues that
should blossom for his sons and daughters from
the tomb ; though she would have wept biltterly
indeed, the tears of grief would nut also have
been the tears of shame.
IShe beholds him fallen from the station he
once adorned, degraded from eminence to igno
miny ; at home, turning his dwelling to darkness,
and its holy endearments to mockery ; abroad,
thrust from the companionship of the worthy, a
self-branded outlaw.
The Races over tiie Greenville Turf have been
“comeoff,” this week, and there has been some
fine sport to the lovers of such amuse i ents. Mr.
Lovell seems to be the favorite of fortune, having
taken the colt stake on Tuesday, and “ Fanny
Dailey” won for him the three mile race on Wed
nesday. Yesterday’s two mile race was gallop
ed by Mr. Duncan’s Chesapeake, without a com
petitor. The concourse of spectators has been
numerous.— Greenville Mountaineer of the 'Zd.

To the Patrons of the Hamburg Journal.
—An explanation is due to our subscribers for
the present temporary suspension of the Journal;
we feel satisfied that they will acquit us of all cen
sure when they are made acquainted with the
circumstances. The Junior Editor, Mr. Mullay,
upon whom has devolved the entire management
of the printing office, has been confined to a bed
sickness for many weeks past, and has been ren
dcred for the time wholly unfit for business by a
combination of diseases of a painful and dangerous
character. I.i addition to this affliction, we ha> e
been without hands in the office, and it was utter
ly impossible, under the circumstances, togeijoul
a paper. We shall resume our regular issues on
Saturday, the 10th. We offer the above.also as
an explanation to our Job and Advertising Pat
rons—their work however, shall now be attended
to p-omptly and particularly.
CCT The subscribers to Dr. Holbrook’s “Glean
mgs of Husbandry,” are informed that the same
causes which have placed the Journal in its pres
ent bank- like condition, have also produced the
tempo-ary suspension of this excellent period
ical. Its regular publication will be recommenced
immediately after oar office is again fairly under
way. The Editors.
