Xaiional Convention.—Il is important to avoid,
as far as practicable, a diversity ot views in rela
tion to die time of holding the national conven
tion. The democratic members ol the legis
lature of Tennessee have recommended, we be
ll admirable keeping with : lieve, November of the present year, whilst in
other quarters the spring ol 1^44 has been sug
gested.
Whilst we do not pretend to decide between
these propositions, we cannot hut think the re

to much weight. For many reasons it is desi
rable that the convention should be held during
the present year: and an earlier period than
November will scarcelv be thought practicable

The Somers Mutiny—Derision of the Court

mitted to them by the Secretary of the Navy,
on Thursday night. The Court then adjourn
ed to Friday, at 2 o'clock P, M., when they were
expected to finish their labors, and transmit the
result to the Navy Department. Of the com
plexion of their opinion nothing can he

from the closing of the testimony until tliea-

n Star of January 14.
Since our paper went to press this morning,
we have seen Mr. Needham, who arrived last
night direct from Bexar. He states that Gen.
Somerville, with a portion of the army that re
mained under his command, about 200 men, has
returned to Bexar. Another portion of 300 men,
le t the command of Gen. Somerville, elected
Col. Win. S. Fisher commander, and went down
to Mier. and captured the town: but a shower
of rain came up just after they had captured it,
so that they could not use their rifles to advan
tage. and the Mexican army arrived, and after a
desperate engagement, retook the town and cap
tured about two hundred or two hundred and
ftftv of our troops. During the engagement our
troops captured seven pieces of artillery, which
were re-taken by the Mexicans.
About 400 Mexicans were killed in this en
gagement—only four Texians were killed. It is
not known upon what terms the Texians surren
dered. Only two Texians escaped, who were
found at Gonzales by our army when it returned,
and it is from these two men that Mr. Needham
derived this news. The names of these men are
Chalk and Sinclair. They say that they secret
ed themselves in some canes in or near the town
while the Texiars were fighting in the stone
houses, and they left in the night after the firing
had cease
from twcl
and during all this time only lour Texians were
killed, and four hundred Mexicans were killed ?
This storv seems quite too incredible for beliel.
The nrinv under Gen. Somerville heard nothing
of it until they reached Bexar. Air. Needham
says Sinclair reported that tlie Mexicans were
commanded by Gen. Ampudia and Canales, and
that the whole Mexican force was (ilteen hun
dred or two thousand.

Sir: Under cover I send you an extra con
taining the latest accounts from our little army.
My private information convinces me that the
worst therein stated is true, whilst the better part
(killing 400 Mexicans) is untrue. There can he
but little doubt but that Col. Fisher’s division
has been raptured. We are all in confusion
here—doubt hangs on the minds of all as to
future events. The prudent and business por
tions of our community believe that we shall be
invaded by land and sea in a short time. The
fall of Yucatan will be the signal for this event
can form your own opinions. We are in a had
I way and I am sorry to proclaim it. Distrust
1 pervades all classes of our community. Busi
ness is suspended. We have 110 money in trade,
none in the national treasury. No credit abroad,
and it Is utterly impossible tor us to obtain any
I relief any where in case we are invaded by a
I powerful force. Many will continue to remove
to the United States, as heretofore ; but a large
majority will remain and prove victorious or die
in defence of their country and homes.”

DIED —At itia residence near Sparta, Hancock
county, Georgia, on the 18th inst- Mr. Philip Turn
er, in the 7Gth year of his age. He was horn in Wor
caster county, Maryland, and lemoved to this State in
1790. At the age of 23 he made a profession of reli
gion, and united with the Presbyterian church, where
he remained but a few years, and then joined the
Methodist church in 1797. The first class meeting
ever held in this village, was held at his house. Foi-
ty-six years he remained faithful to the profession he
made—attending strictly to all the rules of the church.
He maintained to the end the character of an honest
man, and as far as known, his probity was never called
in question. He reared a large family of children,
whose attachment to him, after a long separation from
the maternal fireside, was of an unusually strong char
acter. He left sixty-three descendants living, most of
whom are professors of religion. Truly a patriatch
in fact as well as in age !
He retained his mental faculties in a marked degree
to the last, and breathed the spirit of a holy resigna
tion throughout his whole illness. A few hours before he
died, I conversed with him upon the subject of his depar
ture, and lie seemed anxious to be gone. I hade him
farewell in the confident expectation of meeting him
in a brighter state of existence.
Happy soul, thy days are ended,
All thy mourning days below;

A Fair Deduction.—One of the editors at
Little Rock, who is a good classical scholar, says
that he lias “great antipathy to long sentences."
We suspect that lie has not as great an antipathy
to them as his townsman, Trow-bridge, who has

Tut: Difference.—The difference between
a republic and a monarchy is thus poiuted out
by somebody: “Pile all the people into a pyra

have the symbol of a republic. You can shake
the President, but you can't move the united
force ol the people. Invert that pyramid, with
a king for its base, and you have the symbol of a
monarchy. Trip up that king, aud the whole

DENTISTRY.
PRITCHARD, Surgeon Dentist.
Rooms at Mr. Trice's, UiHedgeville, Georgia,
rpHE flattering success and general satisfaction
-I. which has attended Dr. Pritchard’s Dzxtal
Operations, wherever he has practiced, emboldens
him to assure all who require his services, that no
means known to modern Dentistry shall be unemploy
ed by him to render full satisfaction to them.
French Metalic Taste, for filling painful
Teeth, which are loo much decayed to receive a gold
plngg. Dr. P. would most particularly call the atten
tion of the public to this highly recommended and su
perior article for plugging sensitive ami decayed Teeth,
and which restores those organs to ease and useful
ness, even in cases where one half the crown of tho
Tooth is decayed away. It is applied in a minute,
without heat, causing no pain, and with but trifling
pressure—and from its exceeding ductility, it accom
modates itself to the inequalities of the surface of tho
cav,t y» and in a short time becomes hard and impene
trable*, and renders the Tooth as useful a3 it ever was.
Ibis Paste almost entirely supercedes extraction,
and renders disagreeable teeth he&llliy and sweet.
, Teeth Inserted—From one to a full set fur-
nUhed, and in a style not to be excelled—and arranged
upon pivots, or with fine gold plates, springs, or clasps,
or upon the principle of suction or atmospheric pres
sure. Dr. P.’s assortment of Porcelain Teeth, front
and jaw, with anti without false gums, is not surpassed
by any Dentist in the South.
[EJ 9 Extracting Teeth.—The practice adopted
by many Dentists, and Medical practitioners, of ex
tracting all painful and decayed Teeth, Dr. Pritchard*
in justice to humanity, and Dental science, unquali
fiedly condemns. It is an unfeeling practice—evinc
ing an ignorance of well established principles in the
treatment of complicated caries.—A practice that out
rages common sense—is at war with physiology—and
olten attended with consequences of an appaling char
acter. A very large majority of the molar or jaw
Teeth daily extracted, could be speedily restored to
ease and usefulness, under an enlightened and judi
cious treatment, nnd rendered valuable for many years
and perhaps for life. This fact cannot be urged too
strongly upon the consideration of females, who svj~~
fe r so much from Tooth-Ache—and who justly con
template the extraction of a Tooth with fear and tremb-
ling.
C?Tooth-Ache Tills and Powders—warrant
ed. This preparation, used for curing Tooth-Ache,
effectually and radically—and rendering tender and
sensitive leeth easy, is unrivalled.—Not one failure
can be adduced. This preparation effects its purposo
in a short time; nnd often without the slightest pain.
Persons who nre suffering with Tooth-Ache, or wiio
are annoyed with quick or sensitive Teeth, should not
omit to give this preparation a trial. One application
of it to an irritated dental nerve is often found sufficient
to ensure a cure.
ICC All Dental Operations, of whatever charac
ter, performed with ease and care, and warranted.—
Teeth Plugged, Cleansed, Separated, and In
serted. Old Fangs Extracted—and all diseases
ot tlie Teeth and Gums attended to.
CCPAll operations, except extracting, performed
without giving pain—and no charge made where per
fect satisfaction is not given. Charge* moderate.
