Last Hours of .Mr. Calhoun. We find the following interesting letter in the Charleston Mercury, and present it to our re aders as an official account of the last hours and death of this great and good man. Oh! that the people of the South were prepared to feel the loss they have sus tained iu his death. VI hen the heel of tyranny Ahull press heavily upon their heads, then they will W ake us to a sense of tliat foreseeing sagacity which enabled him to sec. and that self-sacrificing devotion w hich prompted him to avert, the danger that threat- , rned their rights. That hour will come long before even Mr. Calhoun’s enemies have forgotten him : Official Account of the Last Hour* and Death of Mr. Calhoun. Washington, D. C. March 31, 1850. Gentlemen : This morning, at the age of OS years, j John C. Calhoun expired. Long as his death ; has been apprehended, it comes upon us as an un- I !<xked for bereavement. The star of the \V cistern j hemisphere has been stricken from the firmament. It belongs now to another universe. All unite in feeling that our Republic has lost its most brilliant ornament, and a large section its almost idolized j champion. During nearly half a century of public j life, in which Mr. Calhoun has gone through all the i Various stages of political advancement—save one— from the local to the general Legislature, from the Cabinet to the Vice Presidency, and from the Vice Presidency back again to the Senate, he has been re garded as the great Statesman and Patriot of the ■age. Ile now slumbers in death. His last hours were in unison with his whole ca reer. Yesterday it became clearly apparent that lie could survive but a very short period, lie was restless ; and evidently weaker, but notwithstanding he sat up for two hours in the early part of the day. He eon- j versed very little until evening, when some letters were read to him, upon which he commented. He sjHke of the feeling of the South on the present agi tating subject, anil expressed hia confidence that there would soon be but one sentiment, that the Southern people would unite as one man against Northern ag- j gression. His confidence in the Southern people was unwavering to the last. At half past 12 o'clock lie commenced breathing heavily, which occasioned some alarm to his son, Dr. Calhoun, the only member of his family present du ring his last illness. He remarked that he felt un usually wakeful, and requested his son to lie down, who objected. Then he asked his son if he felt un easy ? Ilis son replied : “I do ; had you not better take some wine, father?” He replied: ‘‘No; I don’t require any more stimulus.” His son felt his i pulse, remarking that it was very low. Mr. Calhoun said : “I feel that I am sinking ; but you had better lie down, John.” His son did as lie was requested, I hut felt very uneasy, as tlie difficulty of breathing still continued. At 2 o'clock this morning, he called in a very feeble voice: “John, come to me.” He did so. when Mr. Calhoun put out his arm and asked him to feel his pulse, remarking : “I have no pulsation at the wrist, ‘lake my watch from the table and put it in your trunk which was done. He then pointed to a j bureau of drawers, and said : “Take my papers and put them also in your trunk.” (These papers are the manuscript work on Government and the Constitu tion.) He then remarked : “The medicine has had a delightful effect. I am in a pleasant perspiration.’’ \ At about 5 o'clock, his son took a scat by the fire, de siring his father to take some rest, who said he had not rested at all. Ilis son asked if he had any pain ? He replied : “No, I have not felt the slightest pain throughout this whole attack.” His son asked : “Are 1 you comfortable now ?” He replied : “I am perfectly comfortable.” These were tin; last words of Mr. Calhoun. About a quarter before six lie made a sign with his hand for his soil to approach the bed. Holding , out his hand, he took that of his son, grasped it closely, looking very intently into his face, and ■ moving his lips as if he desired to speak. Ilis son ! perceiving that lie was speechless, at once called the lion. Mr. Venable, of North Carolina. When the latter went to his bedside, Mr. Calhoun took hold of j his hand, pressed it, and presented his wrist, appar ently to indicate his approaching dissolution. He j looked Mr. Venable very intently in the face while he was feeling his pulse. Mr. Venable remarked : “You are pulseless, sir, and must take some wine,” and called for Madeira. Mr. Calhoun pointed to the wardrobe. Mr. Venable got the wine from thence, j and poured out half a tumbler full. Mr. Calhoun j took it in his hand, raised liishead and drank it. Mr. 1 Venable then left the room to summon some friends, i and was absent about five minutes. Soon after the j lion. Mr. Orr, and also the I lon. Mr. Wallace, both ■of South Carolina, entered the room. When the j ■door opened, his eyes were directed towards it, and : were fixed upon Mr. Orr as he walked towards him, until he reached the bed. Mr. Orr leaned over to feel his pulse. Seeing his purpose Mr. Calhoun ex tended his arm. He was asked if he would have the I physician, Dr. Hall, sent for. He shook his head. ! lie then presented his wrist to Mr. Venable, who re- j marked : “The wine has had no effect—there is no ; return of pulsation.” He adjusted his head on the ! pillow, looked Mr. Venable in the face, with an ex- | pression which seemed to say: “I am perfectly eon- j seious that it is all over.’’ A few moments after, when breathing with some difficulty, he put ope hand . to the top of his head, then passed it through his hair, and brought it down again upon his bi\ ast. llc j then breathed quietly, except a slight rattling in the throat, his eyes retaining their brightness, and his countenance its natural expression until the last breath, (which was drawn with deep inspiration,) when his j eyes suddenly became dim. They were immediately j closed by Mr. Venable. After Mr. Calhoun’s eyes were ; closed, his countenance was that of one who had fall- j eii quietly asleep. He was conscious to the last moment. At about 8 o'clock on the evening previous to his j death, Mr. Calhoun remarked that liis mind was nev er clearer; that he had great facility in arranging liis thoughts; and in reply to a remark of liis son's, that !*<• was fearful he was overtasking liis mind with thinking, he said : “I cannot avoid thinking of the political affairs of the country. If 1 could have hut one how to speak in the Senate, I could do more good than on any previous occasion of my life.” J. A. S. Melancholy Intelligence.— The following il espatch was received by a gentleman in this city, yesterday,at 12 o'clock: Augusta, Ga, April 10. “Mrs. Wm. C. Dawson died iti Washington city on Sunday last. Her remains will reach Greensbo rough to-night.” The truly estimable character of this lady, won friends for her wherever she was known. There are many in this community who knew her and loved her, and upon them this sudden dispensation falls with stunning effect Tiie Panama Railroad. —The steam ship Ohio, arrived at New York on the 20th ult, from Chagres, which port she left on the 13th ultimo, reports: Operations on the Panama railroad have been suspended, in consequence of the in tense heat and fevers which prevail on the isthmus. Nearly all the hands employed have either died or deserted. Col. Trotwine, the chief engineer, could not obtain help upon any consideration whatever. Col. TA NARUS.; had written the board of directors that the ! work could not be prosecuted; for even the natives would not work. An engineer and one of the hands employed on the road are passengers by the Ohio. Col. T. had gone to Carthagena to recruit. Navy Bay had been fixed upon as the terminus of the road on the Atlantic side, and Panama on the Pacific, The Galphin Claim. Quite an excitement has been stirred up at W arii ington City bv the appearance of the following para graphs, in the Union of the 2d inst: ANOTHER CLAIM. We find the following paragraph, under the telegraph head, in the N. Y. Herald of Saturday last: “Washington, March 29,1850. “It is reported this evening that Mr. Ewing, the Home Secretary, has allowed an old claim, amounting to one hundred and eight thousand dollars, which had been refused by the preceding | Administration. I have not yet heard what the nature of the claim is, but the affair is talked of i a good deal here.” We would respectfully inquire of the National : Intelligencer, which so promptly repelled Mr. | Ewing’s connection with the Galphin claim, if the j facts stated in the preceding extract are true ? | And if so, did any member of the Cabinet act as j I agent or counsel tor the claimant? Or is any j one of them to derive any benefit pecuniarily ! from the allowance of the claim? And did the Attorney General give an opinion in favor of its payment ? The peculiar circumstances of the Galphin claim make these inquiries pertinent and proper. Inasmuch as the parties implicated are important functionaries in the present administration, and the ; affair is therefore invested with a degree of national consequence, we suppose our readers would be pleased to learn something more of its nature, than is contained in the above brief extracts. The follow i ing seems briefly to be the history of the ease. By tlie treaty of 17T3, between the British crown ; and the Creek and Cherokee Indians, provision was ■ made for the payment of all debts due by those ; tribes to tlie Indian traders. Among these debts ’ was one due George Galphin, which, on tlie : 2d of May, 1775, was adjusted by a commis sion, and the sum of $43,518,97 was allowed him, which the British Government assumed, to be paid ; nut of the proceeds of the sales of the lands acquired from the Indians by the treaty. Before payment, the Revolutionay War commenced, which resulted . in a transfer of all the rights and titles acquired by the British crown in the treaty aforesaid, to the Uni- I ted States. This government, therefore, became re | sponsible to George Galphin for the amount of liis claim. The- subject was at various times brought before the Legislature of Georgia, but never received the concurrence of both branches. Finally, by an act of Congress, approved Aug. 14, 1848, the Secre tary of the Treasury was “authorized and required to examine and adjust the claim of the late George i Galphin, under the treaty made by tlie governor of ! Georgia with the Creek and Cherokee Indians in the ; year 1773, and pay the amount which may be found due to Milled go Galphin, executor of said George j Galphin,” &c. In conformity with this act, Secreta ry Walker, upon an examination of the claim, found the amount due Galphin to be, in 1773, $43,518,97. I’liis amount was accordingly paid, but the interest was withheld for further consideration. Thus the matter stood at the expiration of .Mr. Walker's term of office. We omitted mentioning in its proper place that. lion. Geo. W. GTuwfpd was agent for the par ties interested. W lieu tlie* present administration came into office, Ms. Crawford being a Cabinet Minister, it is urged that delicacy should have induced him to waive the prosecution of the claim during liis connection with the government, and it appears from a letter pub lished in the Union , that he hesitated as to tlie pro priety of doing s‘o, hut upon consultation with his friends, concluded that lie might safely continue the prosecution, inasmuch as it. was a matter not coining : before the Cabinet. The claim for interest was therefore revived, and referred to the consideration of t’ . esent Treasuri r Mr. Meredith, who, upon | ;r ,’estigation, promptly allowed the interest, ■ i u was accordingly paid over to Mr. Crawford as i agei it. These are the facts in the case. Our readers can draw their own inferences : ours is, that unnecessary noise has been made about it, for we confess we see nothing in the circumstance's at all implicating the : honesty or fair dealing, either of the Secretary of the : Treasury or War. The whole affair will undergo j investigation before a committee wliiedi lias been ask- j ; ed by Mr. Crawford, and appointed by the speaker , of the Heiuse, consisting of Mr. Burt, of South Carolina, “ Grinnell, of Mississippi, “ Featlierstone, of Mississippi, “ Gentry, of Tennessee, “ Disney, of Ohio, “ King, of New Jersey, “ McLnnahan, eif Pennsylvania, “ Conrad, of Louisiana, “ Jackson, of Georgia. Connecticut Flections.-— The new Senate will : not contain more than four or five Whigs, out of ato . tal of twenty-one members. The House will also be | Democratic. No choice of Governor by the people. Rhode Island Elections. —The election, for State j officers, members of the Legislature, Ac., was held ! on Wednesday. Henry B. Anthony, (Whig,) editor | | of the Providence “Journal,” is re-elected Governor | ! by a majority considerably larger than that of last j : year. The Legislature will be strongly Whig, thus j securing the election of a Whig to the United States I | Senate, for the term commencing on the 4th of March next, when the time of lion. A. C. Greene, j (Whig,) will expire.— Courier. Stone Mountain Factory.— A meeting was held at thg Stone Mountain on the 18th inst., tor the purpose of organizing a Manufacturing Company. This is a judicious movement, and j we trust it will be crowned with success. We shall hail with joy the day. when the entire up country is dotted over with manufacturing es- j tablishments. It has the necessary water pow er, and it is a high and healthy country —a ve ry important consideration with operatives, j There are hundreds of poor people in the Mountain (as indeed there are in j other sections of the State) who are now idle, i who could rn earn honest livelihood by work ing in factories. While obtaining a support by their own industry, they would be adding much to the wealth and greatness of the Slate.— Rep. Late from California. — Arrival of the Chero kee—Chagres consumed by ft re. —The steamer Cherokee” arrived at New York April 5, from Chagres, with one million one hundred and lif tv-eight thousand dollars ot gold dust, besides j half a million belonging to passengers. By the j arrival of the steamer Oregon at Panama, she | brings San Francisco papers to the lstot March. There was a destructive fire at Chagres on j Saturday, the 23d of March. The greater por- j tion of the town was reduced to ashes. The dry season had commenced at the mines, ! and mining had again fairly commenced, giviug quite an impulse to business. American Hour was selling at San Francisco at $lO per barrel; lumber, 170 to SIBO per M.; pork, $26 to $27 per barrel: mess beef, $1- to sls per barrel; brandy $8 per case; gin $4. I Dk. Webster's Eldest Daughter a Luna tic. —A despatch from Boston says, that the : : eldest daughter of Prof. Webster was yester : day confined as a raving lunatic. Her friends were compelled, to save her from sell-destruc tion. to fasten her limbs. We hope there is some exaggeration in this, though it is certain that the wife and daughters of die condemned must die a thousand deaths, while he w ill die but one. God pity those who longest survive this afilieted family, for the earliest gone will : have the quickest relief from anguish. If men could but see the horrible consequences of their crimes, both to themselves and others, before thev are committed, it seems to us they would shudder at such wrong-doing. In a case like Dr. Webster’s, human sympathy, while it is most grateful, cannot relieve the load which weighs upon the heart. Pride is'hurt, confi dence lost, love misplaced, and an aching void is left which nothing but (lod and the grave can fill. One such terrible example as this ought to tell for all time upon the community, as a warning from evil indulgence and unholy ! temptation.— Sew York Express, From the Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel. LATER FROM EUROPE. Further Decline in Cotton. Baltimore, April 4, 3,30, P. M. The steamer Europa arrived at Halifax on Thursday afternoon. Liverpool Cotton Market.—All kinds of Cotton except Fair and Good had declined l-4d., i one farthing. The quotations are: Fair Uplands, - - - - 6 3-Bd. Mobile, fi 5-Bd. Orleans, fi 7-Bd. Sales of the fortnight 56,000 bales. Sales last week 20,000 bales. The Money Market is firmer. Consols are quoted at 95 1-2. Trade in the manufacturing districts is not so good. The latest advices from India are less encouraging than was expected. Political.—Front the continent there is little of moment. The elections in France have passed off qui etly. The latest accounts from Havre give remark ably favorable reports of the Cotton Market, with much steadiness in prices. England.—The Chancellor of tlie Exchequer has presented his Budget for tlie ensuing year, and although he has the pleasure of announcing a surplus of nearly two and a half millions, still, the manner in which this surplus has been dis posed of, is anything but satisfactory to the country. Ministers are said to hold office by a very precarious tenure. All was quiet in France. A Congress of German Sovereigns will be held in April at Presden, to hold a council on German affairs. The. Emperor of Austria and the Kings of Hanover and Saxony will be pres ent. The negotiations between Austria and Prusia, regarding a central government for Germany, were entirely unsuccessful.

The total receipts since our last report, amount to 29,845 hales, making a grand total since the Ist of Sept, to the tlie latest dates of 1,724,720 bales, against 2,189,- 082 bales the same time last year, and 1,780,513 bales the year previous. When we closed our last weekly review, holders un der the influence of the Niagara’s accounts, had sub mitted to fully i decline, and the market, in consequence, during the two days previous to its close, had been of an active character, the transactions in that time having ! amounted to upwards of 5600 bales. On the last day, I however, it remained very quiet, owing, in part, to the disappointment experienced by dealers in not receiving j their private correspondence by the steamer, due on that day, but also, in a great measure, from the stiller prices j demanded by holders. Since the commencement of the week now under rc- i view, the market might be said to have been in an un settled state. The former confidence of holders having returned and with it an advance in their asking prices, buyers at the same time appeared unwilling to operate, unless neeessiated, and the daily transactions, in conse quence, have been of quite a limited amount. On Friday, the first day of the week, they footed about 700 bales, at an advance of 4 a 4 on form er quotations, while on Saturday 462 bales, and on Monday 900 bales changed hands, at an advance of 4 a ion the lowest point on the preceding Tuesday.— ■ Since then prices have been about stationary, holders j generally firm, while buyers appeared to have mostly j withdrawn; confining the sales on Tuesday to 396 j bales ; oil Wednesday, to 163 bales ; and yesterday, to i 431 bales: making the total sales of the week 3067 hales, at the following particulars: 381 bales at 124. 617 at 12 ; 125 at 11 15-16. 197 at 111, 507 at ID. 91 at lli, 172 at lli, 130 at 111. 245 at 114. 169 at 11 3-16, 81 at 11i,99 at 11,37 at 104, 95 at 10*, 20 at 101. At an early part of the afternoon yesterday, a telegraphic despatch announced the arrival at Halifax, of the Eu ropa, with a condensed report of her accounts. Ac cording to these, a further decline of 4 had taken place in the Liverpool market for all qualities, except Fair and Good Fair. The sales of yesterday , which we re port above, were effected previously, and no transac tions took place after these accounts had been promul gated. FROM THE ADVERTISER’S PRICE CURRENT. Mobile, April 6. Cotton.—Our last weekly report closed on a dull, quiet market, sales of the week being 9000 bales, at 10* cents for middling. Oil Saturday the sales were only 1000 bales, without change in prices, holders evinced great firmness, and the quantity on sale much restricted. Monday was another quiet day, all parties awaiting the foreign letters of the 9th instant, fully due—the sales were only 800 bales, holders firm. On Tuesday it rain ed incessantly, and the letters not being forthcoming, as the mail, as is usual in such cases, “ failed beyond Charleston,” consequently but 1000 bales were sofd at very full rates. On Wednesday the long expected letters were received, they brought no orders that could be touched at rates current, still the sales were 1000 bales, in small lots, and the prices of middling ranged, gener ally at 11 cents, with quite a limited stock on sale. On Thursday holders continued steady in demanding full rates, buyers had to submit, and the transactions, were rather on a more extended scale than for any previous day in the week, the sales being 2000 to 2500 bales, the market closing very firmly at 11 cents for middling.— Yesterday dispatches were received by telegraph, an nouncing the arrival of tlie British steamer, with dates from Liveipool to the 23d ult., advising a decline there of 4d per pound ; this news put a stop to business, the sales of the day not exceeding 500 bales, taken in small ! lots to close previous orders. The market closes very i dull and unsettled, the few bales sold being at about 104 cents for middling. Quotations may be considered nominal. The total sales of the week are 6800 bales,! exclusive of about 1000 bales shipped from first hands, fully equally divided between French, English and Spanish buyers, little being done by our domestic pur- ; chasers. The receipts this week amount to 2,682 bales, and exports to 5,689 bales—leaving the stock on hand and on shipboard not cleared, 103,291 bales. Total re ceipts of tlie season up to date, 300,022 bales, against 1 469,759 bales same time last year. From the New Orleans Price Current of the 6 th April. Our last semi-weekly report left the Cotton market with a good enquiry, but the light supply offering, and the very full rates claimed by hold | ers, prevented transactions from reaching to the j extent of the demand. On Wednesday, the full ! mail of the Niagara again failing to come to hand, ! and factors maintaining a firm position, the business was confined to barely 2400 bales, at i well sustained prices. On Thursday the re ! mainder of the Niagara's letters came through, and proved generally to be of the unfavorable tenor that the printed circulars led parties to ex pect, but they had no influence here, as factors proved unyielding, and buyers came forward and took about 4300 bales, at outside prices. Yesterday there were again several buyers in market, but the light supply offering, and the very full rates demanded by factors, impeded the operations of purchasers, though still the sales reached 4500 bales; making a total for the past three days of 11,200 bales and for the week of 30.400 bales, taken principally for England. Spain, France, the Mediterranean, &c. with some few lots for the North. In prices there is great firmness, and as they have tended in favor i of holders from day to day we find it necessary further to advance our figures an 1-8-of a cent on the Middling descriptions, with still an up ward inclination. We hear of little or nothing doing in Tennessee and North Alabama Cottons, the demand being almost exclusively for Louis ianas and Mississippis. ! The receipts at this port since September Ist, I (exclusive of the arrivals from Mobile, Florida and Texas) are 699,272 bales, against 912,930 bales to same date last year; and the decrease on the receipts at all the ports, up to the latest dates, as compareS with last year, is 477,596 bales. In the exports from the United States to foreign countries, as compared with the same dates last year, there is a decrease of 383,846 bales to Great Britain, 13,095 to France, and 89.419 bales to other foreign ports. The receipts of the past two weeks have been 30,650 bales, against 69,829 bales during the corresponding period last year. The exports, have been 48.581 bales, of which 42,497 ales are to foreign ports, and the sales sum up 51,- 800 bales. The foreign advices received within the past fortnight have been unfavorable, but as an evidence that they have had no influence here, it will be seen that prices have advanced 1-2 a 5-8 of a cent within that period. The cer tainty of a short crop is now generally conceded. Dr. John E. Bacon OFFERS his professional services to tlie public.

Terms per Session S3O All communications pertaining to this department must be addressed to E. W. M. KING, Esq. Memphis, Tenn., March, 1850. The Faculties, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and professional acquirements, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in our country. The medi cal faculty constitutes an anomaly in this or any other country—all of them are able lecturers and the best of j teachers. Those who contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, can have no doubt as i to the eligibility of our situation for an enterprise of the ‘ kind. As to health, including all seasons of the year,’ we deny that any other city has more. A common error exists in the minds of many students 1 relative to the place of studying medicines; those who intend practicing among the diseases of the West and | South should certainly educate themselves at a school whose Faculty are particularly acquainted with those diseases. That the public may be satisfied of the permanency of this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trus tees and Faculty form a unit in action, which augurs well for its future success ; and that the peculiar internal organization which connects them, cannot be interrupted.
