“ „ . fnr Richmond County ter-
Thc Superior Court for n.c /
• . ,t L ^«ion on Saturday last. The Pre-
' , fihe Grand Jury, *birh we publish
^“Tlh kno.iceofthefewcasesoforime,
^S cot under their chance. But
* " c conviction occurred that of Shadrach
HTi passing counterfeitmoney, He was
^renrrd to five years hard labor in the Pen.ten-
. The Court tried one other case only, in
j^fh if convicted the criminal would have
sent to t! e State Prison ; but the Jury hav-
: af ra 5 eed upon their verdict and sealed it up,
dispersed till next day, s the f ourt had adjourn
ed. The verdict was objected to, and it was de
dared a mis trial.
There were 14 cart and wagon loads of Water
Melons in our market on Saturday morning, and
16 this morning. It is unusual to have them in
such plenty so early in the season.
The Dedicatory Sermon was to have bees
preached onthe22d in the New Methodist Church
lately erected ir. Milledgeville. It is described
as a large and convenient building.
The public attention is called to the extensive
sale of Books, advertised fnr this evening.
On a motion, w f c believe to that effect, the
Court of Equity for Edgefield District, S. C. last
week appoints . a Receiver to take charge of the
Tolls of the South Carolina end of the Augusta
Bridge, till the rights of the contending parties
for that valuable property shall be finally adjust
ed. It is believed that the pressure on the public,
arising from double and triple tolls will now be
removed, as it is hoped the 8ank of the State,
jiuce the proceeds of the other end are secured
to be forthcoming, will not exact the toll a' the
Georgia end from passengers going both ways.
We are informed the Receiver is Captain John
Miller, of Beach Island.
We have received the first Number of the
‘ Olive Branch” a new paper published in Mil
ledgeville, friendly to the present Administration
of the General Government. It beais a happy
name. May ithe ominous of its success iii stil
ling the violence of party excitement, and curb-
,ng the domination of those passions, which are
so recklessly urging this country to some violent
commotion.
17 We are requested to state for the iufor.
matioii of the marshal, and his officers, that a
dock of Black birds settled yesterday in the
Lower tnarket, whose music was a scandal to the
I Sabbath and a terrible annoyance to the quiet
inhabitants in the vicinity.
The Tat iff Bill is likely to have one good effect,
If no other, and that one should be sufficient to
redeem the political sins of its supporters.—We
mean, that it is likely to make the Southern
States manufacture some considerable part of
their own clothing, We have no doubt, that
large manufacturing establishments will soon
.filing up. and we should not be surprised to see
several established at the Falls, a few milt s above
this city. We arc always on one extreme or the
other. We are at present getting into a kind of
nige for manufactures, having entirely got over
the fear, that the morals and physical force of
the country might be swaTowed up by the vora
e ous gluttony of a few large aristocratical manu
facturing establishments. At any rate, every
body is going to work on a small scale at home,
and wc expect sbuii to see the good old reign of
" Homespun,” re established with all its healthy
St virtuous concomitants and listen again to the
composing sound of the morning wheel, which
hilled into repose the inquietude of our bov-hood.
We cannot help saying, that such a method of
obviating the supposed bad effects of a national
measure, savors much more of good citizenship
than the inflammatory denunciations and trea
sonable propositions, which we have occasonally
sem in Virginia, Carolina and Georgia papers,
The day will come, we hope, in this, our hap
py country, when our people will he so intelli
gent. as to laugh to scorn the attempts of design
ing men to impose on their understanding, and
trifle with the honest indignation of their virtuous
feelings. Our demagogues have a certain set of
words and phrases, which are very familiar to
the plainest understanding, in describing the
operation of the Tariff. Every body knows what
is meant, when you tell I cm, you will pul your
hand in his pocket and take his money, and this,
with the free use of the equally intelligible epi
thets of robbing and plundering, is the familiar
illustration w hich our great men give to their
constituents of the operation of a measure, which
is hut so little understood in its effects by the wis
est of them.
We avo no doubt, but wc shall see as great a
Kwoluti n on fffls question, as has been rff. ctcd
in the popularity of the American Navy. We
remember when its increase and even existence
was decried, and that too by the very politicians,
who uow create such a hubbub about the Tariff;
but we have lived to see, within a very few years,
its Stripes and Stars wave in triumph, not only
over the enemies of our country, but over the in
veterate prejudices of a large portion ol" her peo
ple.
Some of our more patriotic citizens are deter
mined on w earing nothing but homespun ; so that
we shall soon see clusters of respectable home
spun gentlemen in every corner. Homespun will
change its old and homely name, for the more
dignified and intelligible one of Anti-tariff.—
Gentlemen will give any price for an article that
will suit their whims, aud we certainly cannot
find fault with them, as every body has an un
questionable right to spend his money as he plea
ds- As for ourselves, whatever we shall place
on our backs, Tariff, or Anti-Tariff, the principal
inquiry shall be, whether or not it will easily t tar
off l We care very little who makes it, if it suits
our purposes. From this exposition of our in
tentions and feelings on this subject, we will n «
doubt be pronounced full-blooded Anti-Tariffites-
1 for we have dearly acknowledged the general
principle as true, that self-interest is sharp-sight
ed enough to seek out and find those channels of
industry which shall be ultimately most profita
ble to its enterprize.
On the subject of the Tariff Bill, it should be
•ufScient for all good citizens, that “it is the
Law of the LandIt is enough for us. Strict
subordination to the •'instituted powers is our
political creed, weH knowing, that, if in the ex
citement of the moment, from the preponderance
of evil feelings, an improper policy has been
adopted by our country, there is a regular and '
constitutional method of remedying it; and reme- |
died it will be, as its had effects are ascertained '
by experience. It is impossible, that the majori- !
ty who never intend to do wrong, should long
continue blind to their own interest; and when
that interest is discovered, it will be pursued — :
The people, by changing their servants, will en- i
act measures more in consonance with their \
wishes, or supposed interests, l his is the course,
whicii, we would suppose, good citizens every |
where would adopt, in preference to .he violence
of treasonable propositions, which endanger not
only the peace of the country, hut their own per
sonal safety.
Let every patriot reflect, and reflect seriously,
to what result such inflammatory propositions
inevitably tend.
We have read with astonishment the address of
Sundry Citizens of Colleton District, to the Peo
ple of the State of South Carolina, published in
the Charleston papers, “ By Request ” We can
scarely trust ourselves to remark upon its con
tents and spirit. We will only say, that the Peo
ple of that patriotic &. highminded State are by it
called upon, not only “ to calculate the advanta
ges of the Union, but even to assume an “attitude
of open resistance to its Laws”—and dissolve the
political bonds which now hold togethei the con
federacy of the American States. They have
addressed a request to the Governor to convene
the Legislature immediately to determine on ul
timate measures. We have ventured to trans
fer the Address-to the Governor to the Columns
of the Georgia Courier-
FROM FRANCE.
NEW-YORK, JUNE 13.
Wc are indebted to captain Brown, of
the snip Pallas, arrived yesterday from
Havre, fur papers of that port to the 10th,
and Paris papers to the 9in May. They
contain no political news of importance.
Bv the last advices it appears that the
Russians had not crossed the Pruth.
The sales of cotton at Havre, from the
3d to the kill,amounted to 5905 bags ; of
which 1672 New-Oi leans, at from 81 a

M<: BILF,, JUNE 7.
The British Brig Friends, bound for
Liverpool with a load of cotton, came to
anchor on Tuesday outside of Mobile
Point to prevem drifting ashore, and
■.wung upon hei anchor, which knocked a
hole in her bottom and she sunk. The
Captain abandoned her with thirteen feet
water in hei hold. The revenue cutteis
Alabama and Florida, both went to her
relief, and it was thought that between
100 and 200 bales would be saved with
out damage.
From Mexico.—By the brig Apollo, ar
rived yesterday from Tampico, advices
from that place to ihe 10th and the city
of Mexico to the 7th ult. inclusive are re
ceived. The only articles of interest are
subjoined, being translated from El Sol
for the Journal of Commerce and the
Courier.—N. Y. Eve. Post.
The governor of Vera Cruz issued a
proclamation on the 28:h of April, setting
forth that an attack upon the Coast might
be expected from the Spanish squadron
under Com. Laborde, and commanding
a 1 Spaniards visiting on the Coast, as
soon as the squadron should come in sight,
to retire twenty leagues into the interior,
and not to return till they received per
mission from government
Information has been received in Vera
Cruz bv the crew of the Guerro, who
have been sent back from Havana, that
the governor of Cuba has agreed to a re
gular exchange ofprisi ners with the Mex
icans, cxcep.ing therefrom, however, the
natives of the peninsula, (Old Spain) of
Havana, and Porto Rico, who shall be
taken in arms against the Spanish flag.
It is with feelings of indignation and
horror that we have perused the accounts
of the civil war now raging between the
states of Gnatamala and St. Salvador.—
The atrocities committed by the forces of
the former, during a late incursion into
the territory of the latter, might well he
styled the tic plus ultra of savage and un
disciplined warfare. The pen refuses to
relate the deeds of infamy committed by
ihose predatory bands of lawless soldiery,
alike unworthy the name of Christians
and of Republicans. Suffice it to say,
that whole districts of Sr. Salvador, men,
women, and children, were brutally put to
fire and the sword, with the exception of
the younger portion of the females, who
were reserved for the uuholy gratifica
tion of the remorseless invaders. The
feeble and the aged were driven back at
the point of the bayonet to perish in the
flames. We are constrained to draw a
veil over a host of enormities perpetrated
bv the army of the general government.
D< roteo Vasconcelos, general of the fed
eral forces of St. Salvador, assures the
President, Manuel de Arzu, in his de
spatch, da'ed San Salvador, l6th March,
that if a renewal of like scenes should oc
cur, the war will forthwith assume an ex
terminatory character, and breathe nought
but death to the dagger’s hilt.
There seems to be no likelihood of a
cessation of hostilities ; and it may in
truth be said, that this fair portion of our
continent, is a prey to all th.e misfortunes
inseparable from the most inveterate and
bloody of civil contentions. The Mexi
can papers afford scarcely any matter of
interesi ; the republic seems restored to
a general calm after the commotions exci
ted by the Vice President Bravo, for
which he has been banished the land.
a letter dated, Buenos Ayres, April 15,
1828, in which - it is stated ;
“T;ie peace between these countries
may now I think be regarded as certain,
unless some unforeseen obstacle should
present itself in the nejociations; but
which, from present appearances, there
is but little reason to apprehend, as both
parties, worn out by the war seem to be
sincere in their proposals for an accomo
dation.”
“ The basis of peace (made though the
msdi ition of the British ministers heie
aud at Rio,j is said to be the entire inde
pendence ol the Banda Oriental, and a
free navigation made of the river La
Plate. The%iinoi articles may probably
be shurtl£settled by commissioners eiiher
at Monte Video, or Rio de Janeiro.”

which arrived at Boston on the 11th inst,
from St.Salvador,furnishes th’ information
that an English packet brig had just arri
ved iu four days from Rio Janeiro, brin

sed to ratify, the Treaty with Buenos
Ayres, and that all hopes of peace was at
