STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
thFrec ORDER.
milledgeville,
Tuesday! February 12» 1839.
We feel it imperiously our duty, to call public attention
to the objects for which the Convention is to be held in May
next; and to invite to the investigation and discussion of
this important matter, those who are capable of rendering-
public service, by the use of their talent and experience.
Although we believe the public mind to he thoroughly con
vinced of the necessity of the reduction of our legislative
body—though all we believe are satisfied that su« h reduc
tion will superinduce as consequents, a great saving of the
public money, a much greater personal responsibility on
the part of the representative, and much more wholesome
legislation—yet we feel not less eertain, that great and ob
vious difficulties lie in the way of bringing about this much
to bo desired measure.
Good feeling and a conciliatory spirit, we deem more
important qualifications for members of the approaching
Convention, than even intellectual ability. A compromis
ing spirit must pervade the body, or we fear their labors
will be worse than useless, lienee the essential impor
tance of the Counties selecting their most discreet, expe
rienced and patriotic citizens, as their representatives lor
this delicate and important service. In the diversity of
sectional interests and feelings, there will be very much to
axcita the greatest jealousies, and to call for the strongest
exercise of good temper, and of a patriotism that will act
far the State, the whole State, and nothing hut the State.
Sectional jealousy and selfishness, we trust, will be as
much eschewed on the one hand, as party political pur
poses, will be lost sight of on the other. The welfare of
the State must be the controlling principle, or the welfare
of tho State will not he promoted by the Convention.
Those who had the opportunity which wo had of witness
ing the proceedings of the last Convention held for this
purpose, will not think we are now laying too much stress
on the qualities which we have been so seriously recom
mending. In that Convention, even age the most venera
ble, experience the most profound, and talent the most dis
tinguished, did not, and could not prevent the most violent
explosions of feeling and temper, and we regret to add,
tho most narrow-minded and unjust course of action.—
That Convention proved worse than useless; its measures
■were rejected by the people, and well did they deserve to
bo so rojeoted. We trust that the incidents of that day,
may not be lost on us at present. If we do not profit by
oxperier.ee, onrraso is hopeless indeed. If the people dc-
•iro the reform so much and so long talked of, they will
not fail to send as their representatives on this interesting
occasion, their most discreet, sobermiisded and public,
spirited citizens.
We shnll recur again and again to this subject, and in
tho mean time invite its discussion, in short and pithy ar
ticles, by our readers who may feel a proper interest in the
subject. _____
Tim Madisonian, the recognized organ of Mr. Rives,
•t Washington, replies to an article of the Globe, in which
tint latter print calls Mr. Rives “ a renegade, whose only
governing principle is the spoils of office.” I he Madiso
nian, who must derive hi* knowledge on the subject from
Mr- Ri-vos himself, disproves the charge by informing us,
that when Mr. Rives, in obedience to the Virginia Legis
lature, resigned his place in the Senate, he received a let
ter from Gen. Jackson, offering him any situation be migl.l
choose in his Cabinet, or any where else within his gift—
all of which was declined by Mr. Rive*. But again, and
an which we would especially invite the attention of the
reader, ike Madisonian furthermore informs us, that Mr.
Van Buren Invited Mr. Rives to accept of tho War De
partment, with an understanding, that as the Secretary
ship of the Stale Department would soon thereafter be
come vacated, he should then be transferred to that, sup
posing that it would be more acceptable to him which
Mr- Rives also declined.
Kew our renders will possibly recollect when we tofer-
red to this vqry subject, giving almost verbatim the above
statement, when we informed our render* that we had it
from such source* as it was hard to doubt, that Mr. I or-
eyth was ala*ut to be ousted to make way tor Mr. Lives,
fcrwr the Administration press in this Stale did kick up
Oh no, it could not he that Mr. Van liureji was going to
prove so ungrntful to hi* friends in Georgia, a* to east
Mr. Forsyth overboard. If we do not gieatly fail in our
fnemorv of their course, they- pluniply denied that there
was any truth in the report whatever. Mow stand* the
•rase now T Mr. Rives has let tho cat out of the bag, and
fully verified tho truth of the information wc received, and
which we communicated to our reader*. Truth is very
apt, sooner or later, to manifest itself, though like the sun,
fog* .and clouds may for n time obscure it.
We learn front n member of the investigating commit
tee-on the defakralions, now in New-York, that they are
harfi at work there, nt least twelve hours a day the du
ties -being weighty, and the time to perform them short.
The -proceed ing* of the committee will not be made known
until itbeir Report is made to Congress.
Itti* to be regretted that the time is so short for the in
vestigation of such unprecedented frauds, and such utter
dereliction of duty as has been developed by circumstances
wStlptn lint last few months. We trust however, that the
labors of the present committee will Rot be in vain; they
win-exhibit to the country we doubt not a picture of pul*-
lir |>i<rfligacy which will astonish it. And we are happy
»« believe that the time lias arrived that such develope-
ments w ill be productive of good. Tho people el the Unit
ed States have got pretty well over man-worship, and are
now prepared we confidently believe to reform the enor-
mou* abuses of the government. Messrs. Dawson and
Owens of the Georgia Delegation, are members of tins aim-
stt’rttee, and at present in New-York attending their duties.
A New-York paper says : 4
The Committee of investigation continue their labors
with unremitted a**iduitv. They decline all invitations,
and devote themselves exclusively to the public, work. As
all they do is done in their own committee room, in the
Custom-house, hut little is known to the public. They ex
amine witnesses of times present and of time* past, who
have lieori conversant in the administration of the affairs of
the Custom-house department here; and among the results
of their investigation, one of the tnoct useful light* will un
doubtedly be that which w ill lend t.o abetter and safer mode
of doing the public business.
A groat storm, extending from Baltimore to Boston, oc
curred on the 26th u!t. Its damage and destruction of
property, appears to have been felt most severely between
the two extremes. It is said to have been more destruc
tive to property in the port and city of I’hiladelphia, than
from any similar occurrence for forty years past—immense
damage having also been done in the city of New-York.
It commenced with a South-easterly wind and rain, which
continued so long ns to overflow the river banks, the st reels,
and wharves, sweeping away by the flood and ice, houses,
bridges, &e.—vessels drifted into the streets—besides the
damage done to heavy articles in the warehouses. There
js no telling, as yet, hardly what amount of damage ha*,
been sustained. In New-\ork, we see it estimated at
from five hundred thousand to one and a half million dol
lars. Our private advice* in addition, represent the wticie
country to have suffered immensely—canals, railroads, &c
The object of the British squadron which has been sent
by the English government To Mexico, which is now- with
tne French squadron at Vera Crux, and which has been so
much a matter of guess work, is now expbiined clearly
enough. Instead of being sent there to watch the I reneh,it
appear* it is sent for the purpose of enforcing the demands
of the British Government, for spoliations committed by
Mexicans on British citizens. Our own Government it will
he remembered, lias claims of a similar character against
Mexico, which remains unsettled ; and which may yet pro
duce similar measures on our part before their adjustment,
unless the present summary process of France and Eng
land teach this lawless people, that national justice is es
sential to national safety.
Mr. Bentoa presented to Congress, a letter from Marie
Helene America Vespucci, the Italian lady and descen
dant of the great navigator front whom this continent de
five* its name. She desires to be made a citizen, and a
di nation of land to be granted her—which was referred to
the (.catnuttr* on the Judiciary and aa Public Lands,
Onr brethren of the North, and especially of the North
ern Tres*, arc very feeling and very free in their remarks,
on what they are pleased to consider a peculiarly Southern
and Western branch of jurisprudence, as administered by
Judge Lynch. We respectfully call theit attention to the
following exercise of this code, on the northern circuit, as
one example from many, that Judge Lynch presides at the
North, as potently as at the South and West. And we do
*o for another purpose. We beg' our northern cotempora
ries to remember, that this code i* only administered at
the South or in the West, on criminals (real, or believed to
be) of the very worst stamp, and whose cases, from some
imperfections of the law, cannot he reached bv ordinary
legal process. Lynch law at the South is never, ns in the
case before u* exerted, because of an honest competition
in bu.-incss, or from merely mean and selfish considera
tions. This refinement on the Lynch code, is left for
those who nre so loud in comdemniHg others. The follow
ing is the most disgraceful exercise of lawless power, that
has come to our knowledge :
Ltsch Law at Brooklyn.—Wo regret to learn that
an individual from Boston was the subject of gross outrage
a few davs *ince. He had invented, if we mistake not, a
labor-savin? steam spinning machine, whereby one man, it
is said, will do the work of twenty. One of these he was
erecting at the Wallabout, when several ropeinnkers warn
ed him to desist. He however proceeded under the pro
tection of the law. and of that feeling for the iaw which
should reside in the breasts of all men. The rope makers
however assembled, to the number it is said of three hun
dred, took him from his work, and after marching with
him about a mile and a hulf, tarred and feathered him!—
They then, after giving him a suit of clothes, took him to
New-York and pul him on the road to Boston.—L. I. Star.
The following table will he found interesting to our
readers, showing the amount which each of the Slates
would have received from the public lands up to 3d Sep
tember last, under tho “ Distributing Act’"—especially at
this time, when it seems to he the settled determination of
the new Stutes to he satisfied with nothing less than the
appropriation to themselves of the whole of the public
property. And more especially as this is a subject which
is yet destined greatly to excite the country. Many of the
old States ore protesting against these efforts to wrest from
them their beneficiary interests in the public domain, and
they seem determined not to he thus despoiled without at
least un effort on their port to prevent it.

At our lest accounts from Washington, the Supreme
Court was then in the midst of the celebrated case, deci
ded some linn: ago in Alabama, by Justice McKinley, and
which was carried by appeal to the Supreme Court. The
case was between the Bank of Augusta, (Ga.,) Plaintiff’*
vs. J. B. Earle. Judge McKinley’s decision, we believe,
if carried to its legitimate extent, went so far as to deny to
a corporation the right of suing out of the State that char
tered it. We presume Judge McKinley’s decision will be
reversed.
An arrivul at New Orleans on the 30th, brings the intel
ligence that the ports of Tampico and Metamoras, were
for the present open for commerce, but that the port id
Vera Cruiz is again blockaded. The city is held by a
small Mexican guard ; it* inhabitants, by the order of San
ta Anna, have left, with all their moveable property. The
French have possession of the Castle, and the urmy of
Santa Anna is encamped about twelve miles in the interior,
supposed to be about 4000 strong.
An arrival at New-York on the 2d instant, brings Liver
pool dates to the 24th December. Papers containing the
General intelligence brought by this arrival, have not yet
come to hand. The sale of Cotton in the Liverpool mar
ket, had been brisk nt tin advance of J to ^J. It is quoted
since this arrival in the Charleston market at from 13j to
15J—an advance of a half cent on former prices.
Mr. Wall, the Van Burcn Senator from Ncw-Jersey,
Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, we observe, has
made a long report against the hill introduce 1 by Mr.
Crittenden, to prevent the interference of office-holders in
the elections. Just what might have been expected.
The Branch of the State Bank of Alabama at Mobile,
we perceive by our last papers, has again stopped specie
payment*. She had only resumed specie payment, we be
lieve, on the 1st of January last. The other Banks in
Mobile continue to redeem their circulation with sperie.
The receipts of Cotton in Martin, up to the 1st instant,
were 53,035 bales ; the receipts last year up to the same
period, were 7.5.824—showing a deficit crop thus far, in
that market, of 23.003 bales.
The Legislature of Mississippi, has elected Henderson,
(Whig,) by a majority of five votes, to fill the vacancy in
the U. S. Senate, occasioned by the resignation of R. J.
Walker.
Congress, so far as wc can perceive is doing, but lirtle,
and that little of a singularly trivial character. The follow-
ing extract from the correspondent of the New-York Ameri
can, gives, we presume, a very fair representation of the bu
siness* well as the business habits of Congress.
The proceedings of yesterday will furnish a fair speci
men or the manner in w hich honorable members attend
ed to the interest of their constituents.
At the hour of meeting, twelve o’clock, not more than
thirty members were present. A long debate then arose
on a private claim, which lasted until half past one, when,
without coming to any decision, the House went into Com
mittee of the Whole, on the president's Message; and ut
four o’clock, without disposing of it, the Committee rose,
and the House adjourned.
We would call the attention of the heirs of Elias M.
Isaacs, who was murdered in this'State some months since,
to the following passage in tho communication of the May
or of Chat leston to the Governor of this State Isaacs is
said to be from New-Yoik, where a son of his resides :
« j should bo glad to learn whether the deceased Isaacs
has any legal heirs or representatives to whom the box of
jewels in iny possession may be delivered. The jewels
are worth I suppose, from 500 to $1000; and I should
be very glad to dispose of them to any one, who may be
ablo to prefer a just and lawtul claim.
Th« communication of a writer, addressing himself to
the “ Farmers of Georgia," is at hand, but too late for in
sertion this week. We weleoote him to the us® of our
columns, and hope he will continue the investigation of the
subject of his communication.
The Hon. Wm. D. Merrick has been re-elected, by the
Legislature of Maryland, to the United State* Senate, for
six years, front the 4th March next.
A CARD FROM THIS PENITENTIARY.
Will the Grand Jury of Baldwin county, through their
foreman, be so good as to explain how we *re to under
stand the following expressions in their late presentment:
“ That the location «f the Penitentiary i* the cause of
an increase of bad morals in the city?
“ Present as a most grievous evil the internal manage
ment of that institution ?
“ And leads to frequent petitions for pardons ?”
An Officeh of the Penitentiary.
February 7th, 1839.
Sparta, February 4th, 1329.
Messrs. Editors.—-Permit me to recommend to the
people of Hancock : ounty, through the medium of your
paper, the names of Major Joel Crawford, John Gra-
bill. Reuben T. Battle and John S. Latimer, E*qrs.,
as suitable persons to represent them in the approaching
Reduction Convention. Hancock.
Grand Project.—Gov. Porter of Pennsylvania, in a
message recently sent to the Legislature, recommends to
them to take such measures a* may be necessary to pro
cure the location of a Railroad from the city of Pittsburgh,
through the States et Ohio, Indiana and Illinois, to St.
Louis. A letter writer says: “Now if these Western
States should agree, in connection with Pennsylvania, to
locate a Railroad between these two points, either by the
funds of the different States, or of companies of private
individuals, in connection with those States, it would make
one of the most splendid lines of internal improvements
in the world—a line of continuous railroad from the city
of Philadelphia to the’city of St. Louis: being perhaps
about one thousand miles. But besides, it being a contin
uous railroad from St. Louis to Philadelphia, it would al
so he a continuous railroad front the former place to Wash
ington City; because there is now u railroad from that
place to Washington City, with the exception of twenty-
four miles, whirh will also soon be made, or, in the other
direction, it might be continued to New-York and Bostuu.”
French Squaoros in the Pacific.—We have re
ceived from M. De la Forest, the Consul General of
France, an attested copy of the following important letter,
which we translate.
Frigate Neaeide,
Anton Lisaidi, 15th Dec. 1838.
Sir—In reference to mv despatch of this day, I hereby
announce, that I have transmitted information to the Com
mandant of our naval forces in the Pacific Ocean, of the
declaration of w ar by Mexico, against France, with orders
to proceed instantly to the Western coast of Mexico, with
all his disposable strength. I beg you to communicate, in
my name, this information to all the consuls and agents of
France, on the two continents of America, through w hom
it may be conveyed, either tonny commander of our squad
ron or to the commander of any French vessel of war in
the Pacific Ocean. I rely upon your activity in this re
spect. Accept M. la Consul General, the assurance of my
very high consideration. Charles Bardin.
To the Consul General of France, New-York.
Mississippi Legislature!—The divisions among the
whig members of the Legislature ot this State, which threa
tened defeat in the important contest for a United States
senator, have, we are happy to learn, been healed. At a
caucus held a few dav* since in Jackson, a resolution fixing
upon a distinguished leader of the party a* the whig can
didate for the office, was unanimously agreed to. The
paper* do not inform u* who the nominee is, hut we feel
assured, that whoever he may be, ho will he chosen if tho
party may continue to aft in concert. The latest informa
tion renders it absolutely certain that there is in the legis-
luttire, upon joint ballot, a whig majority of one or two ;
and nothing but concord is needed to insure success. The
state will then, be at least partially represented in the up
per branch of Congress, in conformity to the sentiment* of a
majority of her citizens.
A hill hns been introduced in the Senate, and will prob
able puss, authorizing the governor to purchase, at un ex
pense of $25,000, a marble statue of Washington, to be
placed in thcrotui da of thecapitol at Jackson.
During the proceedings in the call of the House, on the
graduation hill, those present displayed their gallantry in
a becoming manner. After a number of absentees hud
been refused to be excused on very leasonable grounds
too, a motion was made to excuse Mr. Pavnter of Penn
sylvania. “ What fur ?” exclaimed a dozen voices. “ He’s
out of town,” was the answer. “ It won’t do,” wns the
response, and the House was about to deny bis excuse,
when his colleague caught the Speaker’s eye and stated
that Mr P. had left town, for the purpose of visiting his
wife, who was verv poolly. “ Grunted, granted,’* shouted
a hundred voices, and on the question being put, the dome
of the Hall rang with the acclamation of affirmative votes.
So the House sanctioned the zeal of its members in taking
care of theii wives.
Untrecented in North-Carolisa.—Mr. Lewis
Cogdell, of Wayne, informed us tbnt on the evening of the
10th, In* killed and cleaned sixty four hogs after sun*et,
87 milus from Wilmington, and delivered them at 2 o’clock
in the Wilmington Market on the 11th, by means of the
Wilmington und Raleigh Railroad. That he also brought
to Market sundry bales of cotton at tho same time, two
of which had been packed on the morning ot the 11th.
Such despatch is worthy of public notice, and proclaims
moro loudly the advantages afforded by railroads to the
farmer, than thousands of theories and fine spun argu
ments. We ought, also, to mention that Mr. Cogdell
lives seven miles from the Railroad track, and this dis
tance was consequently to be overcome by waeimi.
[ Wilmington Advertiser.
Louisiana.—The “currency resolutions,” introduced in
to the Senate of Louisiana, by Mr Dirhigny, have passed
both Houses of the Legislature—in the Senate, bv a vote
of nearly two to one, and in the house, by a vote of 29 to
1 1. Thesn resolutions are strong and decided in opposi
tion to the policy of the Administration, and especially tha
Sub-treasury scheme. Louisiana, it will be recollected, is
now represented in the Senate of the United States by two
loco-focos. Messrs. Nicholus and Mouton. It remains to
be seen, whether these Senator* »ill carry out. the doctrines
of the Democracy,” and resign their seats, or like the
North-Carnlina Senators, retain their seats, and continue
their support of the Administration, in direct violation of
the expressed will und wishes of their constituents.
Domestic Manufactures.—The. Inst boat from this
place to Wilmington curried oft' one hundred and. Jlrc
bales of cotton yarns and woollen cloths, manufactured at
the factories in this town, and sent to a Nor! hen market
for sale.
We may mention, also, that tin interest of one-third in
one of the factories, was sold last week nt a premium of
thirty per cent, upon the < ost. The people nre waking
up to tite importance of this place as a location for rnauu-
fnetnring establishments.
Meetings have lately been held in the towns of Salisbury
and Concord, N. C., to organize companies for the estab
lishment of cotton factories in those towns. The good
work is going ahead.—Fayetteville (N. C.) Observer.
French Courtesy.—On the evening of the New Year’s
day, Bvrne’s old saw mill on the levee at Nrw Orleans,
together with several wooden tenements, were destroyed
by fire. During the fire, the New-Orleans American says
the launches of the French steamship Meteor, lying op
posite, were sent over filled with men by order of tho com
mander, and their services offered to Captain Butler, the
wharfinger, to tow out nny vessels, if thought necessary.
They brought with them an engine, which wa* soon put at
work, and during the fire supplied one of the city engines.
They remained working until the fire was got under, and
left with the assurance that in case of danger they would
instantly'return.
Society in Michigan.—Gov. Mason’s Message to the
Michigan Legislattie strongly urges t e total abolition of
imprisonment for debt. He says 34 of the 300 cells of
the new Penitentiary nre finished : the building when done
will have cost $400,000. Ttie State University building
will be commenced in tliesping, a loan of $100,000 having
been effected. Five branches have been organized, and
are located at Detroit, Monroe, Pontiac, Kulhimuzoo and
Niles : and 163 pupils nre preparing to enter the parent
inslitu'ion. The geological survey is progressing. The
weeks of internal improvement contemplated and in pro
gross, embrace 1100 miles, anil will cost $7,794,430.
The Treasury receipt* last year were $177,762—expendi
tures 50,000 more than tbnt sum.
The Montreal Courier publishes a Jotter from London,
U. C., dated 14th tilt., which mentions that Albert Clark,
from Ohio, had been hanged on that morning for his par
ticipation in the late invasion nt Sandwich, making the
third who had been executed at London. The same cor
respondent statrs, that a report was current at the time
he was writing, and generality believed, that an attack by
about three thousand men was expected at Sanilwhich
on the 16th, and the sole force to repel the invaders consis
ted of four companies of the 85th regiment, and about as
manv volunteers.
The Caricaturists are at work upon Secretary Wnodbu-
rv. One caricature ippresenfs Mr. Woodbury, in a suit
of black, and Mr. Cambreleng and others, with pail?,
brushes, &c., preparing to whitewash him. Another rep
resents Mr. Woodbury as challenging investigation. The
Secretary stands up with full front, and dark scowl, ex
claiming, “I challenge scrutiny.” Mr. Ilatlan and his
committee nre represented with fqtectacles, quizzing glas
ses, telescoy.rs, and all sorts of optical instruments, en
gaged in scrutinizing him.
NEw-ORLF.ASS.^-The N. O. Sun gives the following ac
count of times in New-Ot leans “ We cannot better con
vey to stranger* an idea of the dullness of times, and the im
mense numbers of people out of employ, in New Orleans,,
than by the mention of a single fact. On Monday mom-.
ing, of the present week, the merchants Exchange Compa
ny advertised for a young man to collect ship news. By
the following morning, there had been in writing, seventy-
sir, applications; and,, like the Florida Indian* “ they
were still coming in.”
Ho*»Rti»L!i.—We learn from the Flemingsbnrg Ken
tuckian, that a few days ago, a Mr. Hampton, of Mason
county, an habitual drunkard, hung his sob- a boy about
twelve years of age, for accidentally breaking a jug ot
rum. There i* no account of the aerest of the murderer.
A xiw Fasnt Weisit.—A Mrs. Rose, a Polish wo
man, divorced from her husband and now the eker omit,
it is said, of a good looking young American, has taken
the place ef Fanny Wright, and is lecturing in New-York.
She goes against mairiage and all auch nonsense, and ia in
favor cf free trade in matrimony and evary thing e1*e.—
She calls all the absurd customs of society, mere irration
alities. Her lecture* are delivered at Tammany Hall, on
Sunday.
One of the London Sunday papers, known, or at least
believed to be the un-official organ of Lord Palmerston,
says it is “ enabled to declare that the Emperor of Russia,
has recently given to our Government the most frank as
surances of his pacific feeling toward this country and the
mo*t positive denial of his having had recourse to any
measures, either open or secret, tending to the injury of
British interests iu any quarter whatsoever.”
The first yoice from Oregon.—In the Senate on
Tuesday, Mr. Linn presented a memorial from 36 citizens,
inhabitants of the Oregon Territory, asking Congress to
pass laws for their protection, and the promotion of their

Excellent.—A correspondent sends us the following,
which occurred recently in a neighboring town. Aflerser-
vice u few Subbaths since, a young lady, who was a stran
ger in the place, accompanying the Clergyman und his
consort home, requested him to give the young gentlemen
a lecture upon staring at the ladies during service. He at
once replied “indeed I will, Miss, and my text shall be,
turn away thine eyes from beholding vanity.

1 he great damage, probably, has been, in destroying mer
chandise in the cellars on Water and South streets. What
mischief it has done in unroofing and overthrowing partly

A true Fish Story.—We have just learnt from a
source of unquestionable veracity, that a young lad bv the
name of Hauler, living some miles above this, did ac
tually, a few days buck, haul from the depths of the fa-
l her of rivers, a mammoth ratfish weighing 210 lbs. It
is a little strange that, in this instance of piscatory adven
ture. the fish weighed 110 pounds more than the lad who
caught it.— Grand Gulf Advertiser.
A letter from Rheims give some account of the Cham-
paigine vintage, and says there is no doubt it will yield at
least u good wine, ai:d, although the quantity is extremely
limited, still it must lie a matter of congratulation that
something better has been produced than we have hail of
late years, which wirh the exception of 1334, turned out

will have any effect upon Newark cider and sugar of lead ?
An Appropriate Dividend.—The Chester (Pa.)coon-
ty Silk Company have recently divided two skeins of fine
sewing silk to each share of stock. Wc have a specimen

I. The Farmer’s Register is published in monthly num
bers, of 64 large octavo pages each, and neatly covered,
at $5 a year, payable in advance. Or, for $5 may be pur
chased two copies of the same current or forthcoming

II. Subscribers now on the list, who have already paid
the regular subscription price of $5 in the manner above

charge, for that volume.
III. A like privilege will he allowed to every old sub
scriber who has not yet paid, but who shall do so, as
above, before the issue of the 2d number of the 7th vo

work to every subscriber, old or new, who may choose to
avail of the offer.
IV. If, however, no more than one copy is ordered, the
subscription price will still he, as heretofore, $5 the vo

conditions annexed, only one will be sent.
V. The price of back volumes, ns heretofore, is $5 for

Education of the whole People.—At the meeting
of the New-Jersev Education Society, on Tuesduv Inst,
Bishop Donne introduced two resolutions, recommending
the culling of a National Convention of the friends of the
Education of the People, and providing fr.r the appoint
ment of a Committee to address the people of the United
States on the subject.
The Investigating Committee have organized at New-
York, and are busily at work. As they sit with closed
doors, no report of their daily pioceedings can be given.
They meet at the custom house. The first witness sum
moned was Mr. Shultz, former Accountant under the
three Collectors preceding Mr. Hoyt. Mr. Fleming, the
Auditor, was also summoned.—Richmond Compiler.
Natural Criticism.—I always listen with much
pleasure to the remarks made by country people on the
habits of animal?. A countryman was shown Gainsbo
rough’s celebrated picture of the pigs: “To he sun 1 ,”
said he, “ they he deadly like pigs ; but there is one fault:
nobody ever saw three pigs feeding together, but what one
on’um had a foot in the trough.—Jesse’s Nat. History.
Lieut. R- B. Randolph, late of the Navy, has addressed
a letter to the Hon. Mr. Duncan of Ohio, touching soma
remarks made bv Mr. 1). on the floor of Congress, in
which the Lieutenant was classed among the Defaulters to
the Government, lie denies that he is a defaulter, and
tells Mr. 1). that he had better use a little more .caution in
his future harranguet.
M ississippi Banks.—The present chartered hanking
capital of Mississippi is $63,499,300, and the amount paid
in is $26,817,833.
Th* annual production, including Cetfon, Corn and eve
ry other article produced hv the planter, and the value giv
en to prepery by the labor of tbe mechanic, is estimated by
Gov. McNutt ut $35,000,000.
Hint to Farmers.—It i* said that spirits of turpen
tine is u deadly enemy of all the insect tribes, and conse
quently will destroy the bug or worms which is found to
prey mi w heat or other grain. With a watering pot, fine
ly perforated in the spout, a person may sprinkle a field
of ten acres, without using more than two or three gallons.
From upper Cnnnda we learn tbnt Sir George Arthur
had reached Sandwich on his tour. lie did not seem t»
be well received there. The Montreal Courier speaks of
a “ brutal and degrading outrage” which has been com
mitted on the American soil by two v«ilunteer officers from
the Sherbrooke command.
Agricultural.—If grass and stnlks be ever so thick
upon vonr fields you should not by any means burn them.
They will soon decay and afford a valuable measure, but
if vo* burn them, a* in the foolish practice of some, you
not only lose the manure but also deaden and seriously in
jure tbe soil by the tire whirh runs over it.
Died at his residence in Stewart county, on the 24th ult.,
after a long and protracted illness of the dyspepsy, whic h ha
bore with Christian fortitude, Samuel Williams, Esq. in
the 50th year of his age. He had been laboring for several
years under the disease which terminated his earthly career,
but by prudent caution had been able to attend to his busi
ness, which was various and extensive, until about th* be
ginning of winter, when he was coufined to his bed, from
which he never arose. During the whole time of his extreme
illness, he never was heard to murmur or eoniplain, but be
ing calmly resigned, he bore it with that christian-like and
manly firmness which was always cliaracteristic of him. He
had served his country faithfully and satisfactorily to all, in
several instances. He had been a member in the Senatorial
Branch of the General Assembly of this State, for several
years—whi*h station he filled with becoming dignity, and
during the late Creek War, he shouldered his musket, and
was ready at all times to perform his country’s service. He
was iti several engagements with the Indians; wa3 at the
memorable burning ol Roanoke—where he displayed asmuch
coolness and bravery, during the whole of the engagement,
a* any man upon the ground. His whole course of life, whe
ther in the councils ot his country or on the field of battle, was
considerate, prudent, and uniform. He was the friend of the
widow and orphans, and his whole soul wa* always open to
the wants of the distressed and the afflicted, bestowing favors
on every hand, and to all charitable objects. It may be said
in truth, that he had not an enemy on the earth, for suob was
his general character, that wherever he lived, he ereated
friends and made no enemies. He hag left an affectionate
wife and six promising childi en, and a large circle of friends,
to mourn over their loss Ho was very much endeared t*
his family, as a tenderliusband, an indulgent parent, and kind
master, and generous and benevolent to all his neighbors,
friends and acquaintances. He died without a groan, and a
few moments before he expired, his countenance was lighted
up with a serene and cheerful smile, testifying to his family
aud surrounding friend?, that he was going to that rest where
troubles cea3e and sorrows never come.
He's gone the wav all men must go,
Because the Lori! hath Lid it so :
FarwelJ, dear friend, your troubles are o'er,
You’ll meet your friends in Heaven, to part do more.

great length, substance, beauty and power, and of unsurpass

he possesses rery fine speed, but his excellency was untiring
stoutness, nnd unfiinching game and bottrrm. In these respects,
he perhaps, never had a superior in this or any other age. His
racing was mostly at New Market, where he commenced his
career in 1830. In point of blood, shape, size, pedigree and
performances, as well as style and appearance, Tranby is un
rivalled. His colts tried on the Engli.-h turf, have performed

X HAYE this day revoked nnd catjceiled an instrument of
writing purporting to ba a Deed ot Gift, executed by me
to Stitb H.' Jngrabam, of Putnam county. Ga., on the.4th day
of February, 1823, signed by myself, and witnessed by Sa
muel Cuningham, William R. Butts and Martin Palmer, for
certain property therein named—which instrument of w riting
was to take effect after my decease. Said instrument of wri
ting was made contrary to my will ar.d w ish, and recorded
contrary to my orders or knowledge—believing at the same
time I done it. I was making a common will, being iu a bad
state of health.
I do therefore, for good ar.d sufficient reasons, notify and
demand of Stith H. Ingraham, to relinquish tome said instru
ment. And I do hereby request ail civil and judicial officer*
of the State of Georgia, nnd elsewhere, to allow this notifica
tion plead against the claim above referred to—1 having sold
and transferred a part of the property to other individuals, fop
value received, and applied the same to my own benefit I*
has never been my intention since and immediately after tbe
execution of the instrument referred to, that foe said Stith
II. Ingraham should have any of my property, before cr after
my death.

A TRUNK was left at McComb s Tavern in Milledge-
vdie, on the 24th December last, forrbe purpose of hav
ing it sent to Eatonton, Ga., but inadvertently :t was put o*
the stage without being way-billed, and lias tokens wrong di
rection. It is a common seal skin or ht:r trunk, about three
feet aud a half long, and one and a half bror.d. with the hasp
very loose, and a large nail drove i.: the middle of it. Any
person finding a trank answering the above description, would
do well to open it, as my name is on several instruments of
writing which would identify it as my property. A liberal
reward will be given for its recovery, and any information
thankfully received. ROBERT J. AYNN.
