Qyctcdfnm a London Paper of 1890, for the
ggwwjj bmmrnak Republican.
At a meeting under a commission of bankrupt
cy, balweili Mr. Hut and Mr. Mono, both res-
pectabto Solicitors or Andover, some disagree
ment arose, which ended in the former Bonding
the latter achnUenge, td which the following poet-
«o answer w«« returned ^
I am honor'd this day Bit, with challenge* two,
The flnl from friend Langdon, the second from yoo;
Ai the one la tafshl, the other to dine,
I accept hit '• engagement^;»bd youra must decline.
Now, In gtvtng this preference, I treat you’l admit,
1 hare acted with prudence, and done what wna fit j
Since, encountering him, and my weopon a knife,
There ii aeme Utile chance of preserving ray life,
.Whilst a bullet from you Sir, might take it away,
And the maths, you know, is to live while you may.
If, however, you still should suppose I illtreotyou,
By sternly rejecting the challenge to meet you,
Baar with me a moment, and 1 will adduce,
Three powerful reasons by way of excuse.
In the first place, unless I am grossly deceived,
* I myself am in conscience the party ogrie ved,
And iMtelfcre, good Sir, if a challenge must be
Troy wait till that cbailengd he tendered by me.
Again, 8ir, I think it by far the most sinful,
To stand and be shot, than to sit for a skin fqU,
From whence you’ll conclude, as I’d have you in
deed.
That fighting composes no part of tny creed:
And my courage, which though it was never dispu-
I ,ed -
(s sot, I imagine, too deeply rooted,
Would prefer that its fruits Sir, what'er it may yield,
Should appear at the Table, and uot in the Field;
And lastly any life, bo it never forgot,
Poaseasea a value which yours. Sir, does not.
So I mean to preserve Hus long as I can,
Being justly entitled a •' Family Man”*
With three or four children, I scarce know hnw
-many, j*
Wlnle yoo, Sir, have not or ought not to have any
Besides that libe contest would be too unei|un),
I doubt not, will frilly appear by the sequel;
For e’en yoa must acknowledge, it woald nqt be
meet.

FROM FLORIDA
The atonttmr Gen. Clinch, Cnpt.. 8*iw.
rived yesterday from Florida. We are indebted
to ourattei’tlts correspondent Ibr tho following
letter, dated
Fort Kino, (E. F.) \
8nturday,Nov.7. J
Gentlemen—Wo arrived here yesterday, and
Touml that General AnratiM Had not arriv
ed. One Indian bad been In, elating that tho
wltolo posse were in the woods dose by, and
would bo in to-day. About sundown, Gen. A.
came in, accompanied by Capt. Paige, with a de
tachment, or delegation, of fourteen Indians from
Arkansas, and one or two from every elan in
Florida. Tbcy are prepared to t«U that milk and
honey flow in every river, creek and bayou in
Arkansas, and that deer and turkies, ready cook
ed, follow in their trails, crying eat me, cot me.
Gen. A. Quotes the war is over.
I shall not leave here for several days, and will
write you again before I go.
P. S.—Some of'the Indiana are in, and meet
their western brethren with manifest joy.
Yours, truly.
A GOOD NEWSPAPER.

44 Perhaps I ought to beg pnrdnn of the shade
cJHerodotus when I a vow, that I consider the year
ly contents of one good newspaper, os more val
uable than all he ever wrote.” His reason for
thubigh compliment to the press is, that the his
tory of one's own times, to bo found in the jour-
- tials of tho day. is more important to bint than the
iiistnry of past ages. The latter is uot without
its share or importance, fot though the history of
the past, no matter bow remote, may be account
ed curious reading,yet it is not merely so. As a
r discipline of the mind alone it is useful; but it is
in the reasons which it teaches, the revelations of
•character which it hangs out for the guidance of
Slates, ritewing the havens to he sought, and the
-shoals, rocks, whirlpools and quicksands to be
avoided, that its greatest importance corirists.
Apart from these uses, the permed of the histo-
«y or the past is no better than uovel reading,but

J And wo have no doubt that the reverend
jor himself is of the same opinion; while we
agree fully with him, that historical reading
“should begin not with the ancient, hut with the

brought back to the uewspapers. It were untie-
crisisry for us to waste words in giving any rea-
«ont additional to that mentioned by the author,
for agresriiig in bis opinion relative to the value
of a “good newspaper.” Such a one—one truly
worthy oflhe name, does contain the current his

Mr. Jones replied. Mr. Gondor.nf Hancock,

world at large,
Mr. Miller of Augusta, simply suggested two
reflections t* the gentleman from Paulding, that
if the work were deferred until another year, and
If labor and provisions should be cheaper, (which
that gentleman maintained) it must result from
the fact that money would bo more scarce, and
tberefbre tho State would be no more able then,
th«n now, to prosecute the work. The second
reflection was, that delqy to carry on our work for
one year, would delay the mm tflhe road one
year, which would bo certain loss, for the possi
bility of gain.
A motiou was then made to lay tho resolutions
on the table for tho present. There is no pros
pect of passing any resolutions of the kind.

Pilatka, (Fa.) Nov. 10,1840.
The steamer Win. Gaiton, arrived Imre on tho
9th iust. from Key Biscayue. The passage has
been very stormy. Left Key Biscayne, Oct.
23d; when 15 miles South of Indian River, the
wind increasing to a heavy gale, with a heavy aea,
the boat making little headway, wns compelled
to return back to the Key, where we lay five days
awaiting the abatement oftlie gale. Started, and
stopping at different posts, with pay master and
suit, was again obliged by stress of weather to an*
chor inside Cape Carnival, where we outrode
the fury oftlie storm, both nnchors down for three
days. Nov. 3d, again underway, crossed the
reef of Cape Carnival. After weathering a head
sea for four hours, was compelled to return to
our old anchorage under the Cape, remaining
there one day, arriving at St. Augustine No^. 7,
1S40.
The steamer Columbia, from Havana, bound
to New-York, has put in here in distress, having
encountered tho same gale. She leaks badly and
is undergoing repairs, sufficiently to enable lier.to
reach Charleston. It was reported aud confident
ly believed, that the Gaston was a total wreck.—
The whole town was on the wharf when wo arri
ved. The Gaston’s qualities are universally pro
nounced as pre.cminent. 1 have taken in a full

CT At length we can confidently congratulate
the friends of reform—the lovers of law and or.
der—the supporters ofconstitnU'onal government
and patriots of every name and complexion, up'
on the success of the great canse of civil liberty
this country. Every where the office-holders
—the cohorts of the treasury, have been routed,
before the invincible phalanx of the real democ
racy of the country. Henceforth things will be
culled by their right names, the office-holders will
now condescend to permit the people to be the
democracy, yea, and the democracy of number*
too. Too long have we been insulted by the
baldest humbug under that name that ever pre

hundred and seventy which havebeen officially as

not only to him but to his followers, more so in
deed to the latter than to him, because he has
fnetbeen in a false position from the beginning.
He was committed body and soul to the destruc
tive measures of that bead strong and ignorant

American deference to the fair Sex.—The one
most important, and without which it would bo
impossbfe to travel in such a gregarious way,
an universal deference and civility shown to the
women, who may. in consequence travel without
protecUonnll over the United States without the
least chance of annoyance or insult This de
ference paid fo the sex is highly creditabln to the
Americans ; it exists from one end of the Union
1o the other; indeed, in tho,Southern and more
lawlvwi states it is even more chivalrous than in
the more settled. Let a female he ever so indif-
- fercttlly clad, whatever her uppearauce may be,
still it is sufficient that she is a female; she has the

THE TIPPECANOE CLUBS'OF SAVAN*
NAIL
It is nil important that these most useful and
valuable associations should assemble at least
once more before they adjourn sine die.
It it known that Gen. Harrison, the President
elect, Iia«' the greatest horror of the Albany sys
tem of tatties—of that sytem which awards the
offices oftlie people, as spoils to tho victors in
political Contests.
Now, (here are two claasus of officerliolders,
that the pprUy of elections, and the public inter
est, generally, require should bo removed. I
mean Ihofio who have interfered with the elective
fteuchiu, and those who turned out worthy and
able officers at the advent oftlie reign of terror;
end in ogder to make the will of the people effec
tual in t|is matter, and to embody that will ju a
tangible and practical form, let the Clubs remain
organistfl, and let all recommendations for office
in lliig legion, come from them. By this means
we will have such officers as are agreeable to tha
people, and at the same time exclude thnt hungry
tribe who follow every newly elected President.
If it bo true as wo have heard, that Gen. Har
rison will stonily reject all applicnlioiis for office
when made by individual applicants, it will ap
pear at once how important it U that the Clubs
should bf kept up in urdor to have a free and full
expression ofthe democracy.
One teho will neither seek nor accept Office.
* Unless it is a whacking big one. I might he
prevailed upon, perhaps, to accept the CoUectorshlp
of New-York.

this country fot its violence and intolerance.
As good citizens we suppose they will now all
bow to the real will of the people, the caricatur
ed shadow of which they have so long worship
ped with tlie loudest professions. We hail all as
our countrymen and friends of whatever party, as
die great patriarch of democracy once said,
ore qll Republicans, we are all Federalists,” and
so we say now, we are all Whigs, we are all
Democrats. We are all bound upon the same
errand, i. e. the honest and well meaning of ajl
parties have one common interest and destiny,
Let us then bury the hatchet aud for four years
at least live in harmony and peace, each perform
ing his duties in that sphere where Providence
has cast his lot. Not that we would for a mo
ment delude those unfortunate gentlemen who
have exercised the influence of their offices to
fluence elections into the belief that they may
tain their offices. They must prepare with
good n’grncc as they can to retire. Those who have
not so used their official influence will no doubt
be permitted to retain their stations. Indeed we
know that Gen. Harrison will be hard to move
even in accordance with the. wishes of the people
on tills subject.
VIRGINIA
Seems to be getting right at last. It would be
strange indeed if she should pulthe teal of her
approbation upon an Administration which has
more outraged her doctrines than all others pat
Together, not even the elder'A'iftirrCTfce'pted.
But the lust cord—the forged correspondence be
tween Arthur Tapean and Gen. HARRisoN.as-
suited her on a tender point; besides this, the
Locos have manuluctiired thousands of votes.
For instance, in the two Dutch and ignorant
counties of Sbonandeah and Rockingham—the
former has about seven hundred and fifty legal
votes all told, yet she has been made to give Mr.
Van Boren twelve hundred majority, and so of
the other.
However the Locos and Mr. Thomas Ritch
ie at their head, are calculating without their
host we rather opine in supposing Uutl Litas
Tennessee* will cast her vote for Von or the Ken-
Irawa District either. Mr. Rives could tell a dif
ferent tale, aud he is just from Little Tennessee.
The Votes are manufactured by deeding filly
acres of laud to any tool convenient fordoing
the bidding oftlmdonor. Old Virginia is safe
though she tires a little this time.

Messrj. Editors,—In reading your paper of
yesterday morning, I was somewhat startled when
I perused the communication addressed to you
over the signature of" Stockholder,” trying
prove by Uie rates of freight on other Rail Roads
that the fates on our Road are exorbitant.-—
This gentleman’s information regarding the rates
of freight bn the Georgia road and South-Caro-
Una road s totally incorrect. On the Georgia
rood froniAugusta to Greensboroughand Buck-
head, (tliejlaller place is 100 miles from Augusta)
the freight of cotton for bales of the usual size,
viz. lhosaof350 lbs. weight and under, is more
than that ftn onr road for bales of the same size.
For lOOniilfts their rate is $170 per bale, while
ours for the same distance is but $160 for square,
aqd $1 60 for *°*md bales. Those bales weighing
over 350 lbs. are chargeable by*tfio Centrhl Rati
Road for the excess over that weight, at the rate
of 5 cents per 100 lbs. for each station of 10
miles. Hejko says, thnt tbe freight on mer
chandize onlhe Georgia road is but 25 cents per
100 lbs. whin in their rates of freight as publish
ed, it is 40 ion to per 100 lbs. for the distance of
100 miles. .
On thd Charleston and Hamburg road tho rates
of freigh on cotton fluctuate considerably. At
present hey charge 25 cents per 100 lbs. for
gquare, ud 35 cents per 100lks. for round bales.
On a hhd. of sugar, which 44 Stockholder" says
tlioy charge $2 50 for, they charge $5. He also
says, relative to the rates given by him, that
these frets are indisputable”—well, they ore
disputed, and /can substantiate my statements
fully-
It wiilbs admitted by most persons interested,
that the rales of freight on the Central Rail Road
are loo 1^, but to prove them so by incorrect
statemeits; »» to those charged by other Rail
Road Companies, is not the plun to remedy
them. LOCOMOTIVE.

Allow mo through your paper, to suggest to
the delegation from Richmond county, the pro
priety of urging before the Legislature now In
session, a few pointed nnd spirited resolutions
that will convey u just sonso of Georgia’s indig
nation at the outrage and insult committed on tlie
Broad Seal of one of tho States of this confeder
acy, in the organization of tho House of Repre
sentatives of the inst Congress—thus by a gross,
fraudulent, nnd unprecedented violation of tlie
Constitution, disregarding without excuse or
apology, tlie rights oftlie States, mid annihilating
the very basis of representative government..
You will perceive, gentlemen, that this is a ques
tion which docs not confine itself to New Jersey,
it is one ofthe very few expressed in the Consti
tution, which, if trampled unou, would crento in
every State that came into the compact with Re
publican principles, such universal indignation
and such revolutionary spirit as would instantly
dissolve this Union. Need I appeal to Georgians
to know bow they would/eri, mid to know wlrat
they would do, if wheu their Representatives
came forward with commissions bearing the
broad seal, thus rejected, and admittance reliuod
ill _th<* nouwoil.. »f-a wiuitry xliay j.-.’ro to
support, and for whoso existence thuir blood was
once spilt to establish? Then speak fot ill in u
loud, stern, nnd just rebuke, from your legisla
tive halls, against those who dared to sacrifice the
rights of a sister State, uud violute the Constitu
tion to effect party purposes—and no true Geor
gian who is worthy the privileges nnd protection
of the Broad Seal of his State, will refuse to cry
out amen to what you will have done.

GRATIFYING INTELLIGENCE.
THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION SET-
TIED.
It has pleased the Almighty to give to the op
pressed people of this mLgovciued and suffering
country 1 victory over Uieir- weak ond wicked
ruler*. The news of yeaterdny, by announcing
the glorfaus triumph in New-Yurk, nod that
PennsuvaNU, too, has finally thrown her weight
into the Whig scale, has decided the contest, and
sealed the fate of the Administration. The reign
of iiiRoinpetency, imposture, and corrupUon, is
at length arrested, and the country redeemed.-
An Administration which one might almost sup
pose had said to itself 14 Evil bo thou my good,
has fallen before the power of an abused and in.
dignant people. Most heartily do we congratu
late every loug-slruggling patriot Uiroughout the
land pn this great end happy event; and when
we cost a glance at what would have been Uie
aw florid Wihflbr&io country hod Uie power ot
the Government been continued and confirmed
in the present weak and wicked hands, we shud
der atthc view, and fervently unite with every
patriotic heart in Uie praise and gratitude to the
Almighty Disposer of events for vouchsafing to
exempt oar beloved country from a calamity aud
from consequences so dreadful, and for giving to
u«, in tho auspious change ho lias granted, a con
fident hope of renovated prosperity and liappi-
ness for Uie country, and of restored respectabili
ty, purity, and dignity to its government.
Mountain Scenery.— 1 There is something in tho
wildness nnd sublimity of mountain scenery,
that tends to remind us rathor of eternity than
decay. Tho perishable works of man are no
where to be seen; No city lies tn gloomy mins
to show the outlipcs of fuded greatness; no rem
nant of a sanctunry, iiere stands to show the wor
ship that has passed away. Wo see no falling
records of the glorious deeds of those whose
names ore learnt in history’s page. We stand
upon the mountaiu'and we scarcely know thnt
man exists upon Uie enrUi. This is not the laud
where arts have died, or science been forgot;
those rocks never echoed the eloquence of ora
tors, or the song ol poets; these waters never
bore the proud ships ofthe merchant; the soil ne
ver yielded to wan the fruit of his industry. It is
not here that the finger of time can be recogniz
ed.—In vain would lie set his mark on snows that
never foil or-distrub the fust bound form of ada
mantine ice. In vain he stretches out his hand
where the rushing torrent aud the wavering wa
terfall. blest with an eternity of youth, dnsli on
Uieir headlong course, regardless of the blighting
power that withers strength, or Utils to rest, tho
creations and tho creature of mortality. Hero
we may pause and say that time Iras lost his pow
er.—Here we may view the foint efforts of time
overthrown in an instant. - Chnmt** ilmv are; but
the work of an hour has defeated the slow pro
gress of decay. The lightning of the thunder
storm, the blowing tempest, the cngulphing flood,
the nver-sprendingavnlnnch,hnvn effaced from the
surface of nature the impress or time, and left
naught in the change to remind us of age.—
Surely Uiere are scenes in life which seem creat
ed to awaken in mankind tho recollection, thnt
even time can lose its power. Who will not fool
the nothingness of the pleasures, the cures, yea,
or even tho sorrows of our petty span, when for
a moment, he dwells with his heart nnd aonl, up-
on the thoughts ol an eternity! Yes, it will sober
tho gay—it will comfort U10 grieved."—Edward
Everett.

8ir Henry Halford was never known to refuse
to visit a patient, however poor and despised the
patient might be. On one occasion he was at
tending an old servantof the family, who was re
siding some little distance from the town. Dur
ing lira nisht the symptoms became more alarm-
ing, and Sir Henry was sent for in a great hurry.
When die message arrived he had just been sent
for to Intend the Duke of.—, who had been
seized with nn attack of an old complaint. The
i. Murphy answer Sir Henry gave to the duke’s servant was
itas, Hib- this—” l have to go lo Broomloyto visit nn old
- * servant of mine, tvho is dangerously ill; I will do
myself the honour of waiting upon his Highness
directly I return.” Sir Henry accordingly order
ed his carriage aud drove to Braomicy, and after
seeing aud prescribing for the patient, Ira waited
upon the duke.
