By the Steam Packet Mount Vernon, arrived last
evening, wo received the Charleston Mercury ofTues-
«^y, .
It wan but yesterday, that wo announced in illus
tration of tho mildness of tho scuson, that peach
trees were putting forth their blossoms. Scarcely how
ever, had we recorded the fact, when comes a chill north
wester, the avtml courier of tho winter, blighting the
delicate tints of tho flowers which had timidly arrayed
their unseasonable beauties, & changing the bright hues,
with which nature decks her productions in their prime,
and in their more ripened perfection, to tho sober livery
of the autumn. Tho trues arc already falling into the
sear, tho yellow leaf, and all nature indicates the rapid
decay of vegotablo life. There is a close analogy
betweeuthe alternate seasons of the year, and the sea
sons of man’s brief existence, and this, which is marked
by the decline of vegetation and the approach of gloomy
■winter,
“As down the ravaged globe
JId travels on his native storm,
Deflowering nature’s grassy robe
And trampling on her failed form,”—
Must uver more than any other, be pregnant with mat
ter of reflection. Indeed no one can view tho full of the
!*-af, and mark the change in the face of naturo which
daily takes place before his eyes, without a seriousness
akin to the melancholy which ho fcul* when those he has
been nccustoincdto Intel in his daily path, arc removed
from it:
“To contemplation’s sober eye,
Such U the 'race Of man t
Aud they that creep ami they that fly
Shall end where they began.
Aliko the busy and the gay, \
Rut flutter through life's little day,
In fortune's varying colors dress'd :
Brush’d by tho hand of rough mischance,
Or dull’d by ago, their airy dance
They leave, in dust to rest.”
‘Yet the prusout is tho suason of plenty and o( re*
ifard to the farmer and tho planter, and in the south, the
feelings which it brings with it, are forgotten in tho pica.
Cures derived from tho rc-unlon of absent friends and
Oio revival of business—which after all addresses itself
i/iorc closely to tho majority of mankiu J than the changc-3
in tho natural world. Wo have, however, abundant rca-
•oo to bo grateful—tho teeming earth has been more
prodigal of its bounties than usual, and has returned lu
tho husbandman an ample remuneration lor his toils—
tho prosperity of our dwelling place and the home where
is garnered up ullour’utfei-tions, has increased,unit ulmvc
all it has been blessed with that health, without which,
the productions of the earth are ttscluss and wealth val
ueless. Wliilit therefore, we draw a moral which may
he useful front tho season, wo may not with tho less reti-
wh rejoice in the prosperity which exists around us,
nor feci less grateful for the benefits we have received.
The general election took place in the city of New

Ilussel Comstock,reformer and Cidcrist, according to

tho I’ark at Now York on Sunday, on tho aubjeet of Na

—an appeal to (ho sovereigns for boil having been inef
fectual. Ho was, however liberated m the evening nnd
was on Monday as brisk os a Mile of his o-.vn beverage,
in furthering his election. It is evident from this catas
trophe that old Hays is of the opinion, that whether “re.
pgiott is or is not to he taught in National Schools,” the
uiveussion will not bo permitted under the nose of the
Belies on a Sunday.
The London paper called tho John Bull, recently

In the -House, previous to die elections, the following
ivas among the business.
Notices given of tills to rui so a tax for 1830, and to
reducu tho same ; to revise, alter and amend the act
chartering dm Central Bank ; to amend the law* of this
State respecting the trial of slaves and free persons of
color ; to pay Receivers of Tux Returns tho-amount of
their commissions immediately after tho Tax Digest U
received by the Comptroller • to dear out Big- Satilla

Ordinary in the people ; to add pail of Harris county
to Muscogee; to repeal part of certain acts to prevent
the fraudulent enforcement or dormant judgments; to
reduce the bauds oftlio SlterifT of Wayne county, and
to compensate Justices of the same county for compar
ing election returns. A petition from the same county
was referred to a special committee-
To amend the laws concerning guardianship of free
persons of eolur.
The following resolution was incorrectly reported in
tny last :
“ Resolved, That the Joint Committee on the Peni
tentiary, bo instructed to inquire into and report to this
House, as soon as practicable, the amount of monies
collected in favor of the resolution since 1st January
1623, also tho value of tho stock of materials on hand*
at that period, and.what Imre been the expenditures of
the institution since that time, up to 1st Nov. same
year.” A very useless institution, for all tho informa
tion required, must be contained in the Commissioners’
report, already with die other documents in possession
of die house.
In die House on Saturday, the Bill from the Senate
to extend the time fur drawers to take out dieir grants in
the Land Lotteries of 1818, 1819 and 1821, was taken
up, passed with a slight amendment, and sent back to
the Senate, which shortly after reported its concurrence.
This bill extends the time to 1st Nov. 1830, to take out
granu at §8, after which all ungranted lands to become
vested in the State. Time allowed orphans until three
years after they become of ago. Lands drawn by per
sons deceased since they gave in draws, idiots and lu
natics, to be exempt from its operation. The law to be
published once a inuu:h until the 1st November next in
every Gazette of the State.
, A resolution from Senate was concuired into
thorizo tho Directors of tho Central Bank (after giving
thirty days notice in die Milledguville papers) to sell lots
reverted to the State at tho Indian Spring Reserve.
A bill to pardon John Russell (not Rustun) for the
murder of a slave in Ogkthorpo county, was read first
time.
Mr. Myers presented two petitions, one from Gene
ral Hailey, praying for compensation fur services ren
dered while Solicitor uf thu Chntahoouhiu Circuit, die
other from Muj. John Scruvcn, praying for tho pay
ment of certain audited ct rlificates. Referred to a sc
leci committee, composed of Myers, Wayno & Chari-
•on.
Air. Chariton gave notico of dm following Bills ; To
amend the several attachment laws so far as to permit
persons whose property may be insured in Insurance
Offices carried on by agents in this State, whenever a
■lisputii fchall hur«ufl«r nriait Utwoan iKa m-uror. tuiil
insured, to issuo an attachment against die goods, pro
perty or effects of said Insurance Company, nnd to gar
nishee its agent or agents. To authorize the Sheriff nr
any lawful Constable of Chatham County to enter the
dwelling of Sailor Landlords, or any other place where
just reason shall exist, founded on oath, dial regularly
articled fugitive seamen are harbored or protected.
By the politeness of a friend 1 liuvo had access to the
report of the Directors of the Central Bank, which
shews thu following as the stute of its fluids •—
Actual Capital of the Bank, 51,027,316 00
Debts due tho State, and transferred to
the Rank that since the transfer liuvo
been paid, together with those that
have been changed to debts duo to
the Bank, according to die provisions
of its charter,
Interest on those debts up to the time of
settlement,
Tho amount of specie and specie funds
on Ivan l at the date of the report is
Bills issued amount to
Bills in circulation amount to
Notes discounted,
Bills of Exchange discounted
Profits of the Bank since it wont into
operation,
Expenses including salaries, commis
sions, altering rooms and building
fire proof vault,
The actual Capital as given abovo is composed of
Bank Stock and Bonds or Notes of individuals indebted
to the .State. This bus been increased since the transfe r
of die State funds in January and undergoes a gradual
increase from tho payment of debts duo the State, of
which tho Bank possesses no other evidence than tho
accounts of sales.
A number of Counties have not applied for their ap
propriations. The money therefore after the expiration
of die time limited for its distribution has been used in
discounting bills of Exchange at four months. TJto
inode of appropriating the discounts of the Bank was at
dm rale of $1 fiO, for each white person, Tho sum
set aside for Chatham was {17,333, of which JGOO lias
been applied for and obtained.
The Directors recommend certain alterations in the
Charter, in order to facilitate the business of tho Bank,
and forward tho object of its establishment, and enter
into a full exposition ofits transactions. The concluding
paragraph is os follows :
“The object of tho Legislature in establishing tho
Bnnk doubtless was to convert tho whole of dm funds of
tho State into productive capital, on which tho interest
should be paid at regular periods, and ho applied to do-
Irny tho oxpenso of tho government; as well as by a ju-
dicious addition, on a perfectly scciira basis, to tho cir
culating medintn oftlm country, to roliovo, to soiiio ex
tant , tho embarrassments ofits citizens. The Directors
Imlicvo that the (utter purpose lias been accomplished bo
faros was practicable, under tho very unusual restrictions
imposed on them by the Charter. That tho former may
ho attained—that in -process of time on tho first Mon*
day in November, annually, tho Bank may pay over to
tho Treasurer of tho Stale, as profits, for tho year end
ing on that day, an amount sufficient to moot ull tho or
dinary expenditures of the Government—and that, con-
sequent iy, tho people may bo relieved from taxation tho
Directors confidently anticipate. To socuro with abso-

True bills were found against Alossrs. Hopkins, Simp

In the land caso of Patterson (of Maryland) vs. Winn
(of Franklin County, Geo.) a verdict for the defendant
was returned, owing to a qopy of a grant not being re
ceived in evidence in place of the original. Ttiir. case
involves a claim to 18,000 acres of land, worth over
520,000. It will, no doubt, be carried to tho Supreme
Court. AIcAUislor and Wilde for pluintiff— Seaborn
Jones for defendant.
Mr. Forsyth left herd yesterday for Washington. It
would, I assure you, notwithstanding the hundred re
porta of opposition, have token a very strong man to
beat him—the sentiments of Mr. Gilmer and his promi
nent friends being openly expressed against any opposi
tion, in such an event tho whole of the Troup party with
few exceptions, would have supported him. That op
position ever existed in the Troup party, would not
bo known, for the same harmony and unity of measures
exist that ever have, with the same freedom of inter
course and personal intimacy, that havo always charac
terized it. The election for State House Officers is
the subject ofinterest at present, and from the number
of candidates, much electioneering goes on. Governor
Troup left this on Monday, for his plantation, on' his
way to Washington via Darien and Savannah—so that*
we had hero at ono time, under the same roof, tho past,
present and future Govemora of lids mighty State.
Vrci. H. Crawford is also here. Hrn spirits appear
to be excellent, and his heatth good.
Charles R. Holmes, Esq. has been appointed by the

Friday lost, by tho merchants and other citizens of New
York at the City Hotel.
Maine Election.—The Saco Palladium gives the
statu of parties in the Senate of that State as eight fa
vorable to the admistraiion and nine in opposition. Tha
Portland Courier of tho 2fith inst. publishes a list of tho
I louse of Representatives designating those for Hunton
and those for Smith, the result of which is that thcro
are elected 75 tor Hunton, 63 for Smith, and 4 sentiments
unknown.
Onto.—According to the St. Clairsvillc Gazette
sineu the late election in this State, tho Scnato will stand
23 for the Administration and 13 in opposition, and it is
probable thu House will bo 33 for Jackson and for th.c
opposition. /$

under this title is said in a London paper to illustrate'
the many fierce encounters between tho early English
settlers in America and tho Indians, from which thoy

The Corrrrpondcnt oftlio Commercial Advertiser,at
London, says of Fronch^Affoirs—" Franco is on the
vergo of a revolution. Unless a change of ministers be
speedily made, you will see a recurrence of some of
the scenes of’93. Lufuycttc could mount the throno of
Franco with tho utmost caso. Aly stay in tho French
capital was very short, hut sufficiently long to enable m<
to discover tho thronos of a volcano. There was noth
ing else bul tho ministry talked of. Tho theatres wcr u
forgotten, and tho ladies were forgotten.” Tho asser
tion,that France is on tho vergoofa revolution,’would ap-
pear to received sumo support from an article published
in the London Morning Chronicle of tho 26th September,
in those words
** We havo received an Address totlio French Army
commencing thus:—* Soldier? 1 tho combats of Liberty

forbids our giving publication to it. It is lithogr ophed.
and must have been extensively distributed ; for several
copies, received by different gentlemen ill London from
Paris, have been shewn to us. The letter in which a
copy was enclosed to one of our Correspondents, by his
friend in Paris, stated that an Address hud been extent
sivoly distributed oniong tho soldiery. Wo know noth

or it may bo the work of the Ministry plotting the dis-

Nfewp from litv.xico.'-OjiU of tho New
Orleans Bee, Ott. 23.,— 1 Tito uchra. Cuhatv-
ba, and Corrco, arrived yesterday lrotn Tam-
pico, havo brought from that tho following
distressing nows. Tho scarcity of provisions
was so great that general alarm existed for
the fate of tho troops stationed in its environs,
as well as for tho pcoplo. Tho galo mention
ed a few days ago, has caused groat destruc
tion in Tampico, and in tho small towns in
tho vicinity a number of small houses had been
blown down. At tho niomont tho Correo sail
ed from Tampico, news had been ruccived of
the loss of tho scltr. Hound, and also of nno-
tlier scltr. supposed to bo tho Eclipse, both
from tliis port. The U. 8. sloou of war Hor
net, which had been dispatched to Tampico
to protect our commercial interests, suffered
considerably during tho gale, and had been
dismasted.
After such distressing details, wo cannot
decline the pleasure of mentioning un act of
generosity and magnanimity of soul, winch
honors, and must place very high in the esti-
tiraation of his fellow citizens, tho author pf

of Spanish refugees, blinded by tho first suc

sion that a few days would be sufficient to re
conquer Mexico, and realize their chimerical
hopes The fntnous capitulation broke tho
charm, and Dipso unfortunates soon found
themselves at the mercy of their enemies.—
General Santa Anna hud the right of hav

to tho young hero of Vera Cruz.
A number of Spanish officers arrived yes

city of provisions.
Gen. Barradas is yet in this city.
Theschr. Rebecca & Eliza, of this placo,
and another, have been seized hv the Mexi
can government at Tampico, us they had pro-
visions for the enemy.
October 20.—Tho French brig C aroline,
of Nantz, lying same distance from Tampico,
was entirely lost during the late galo. She
had on board upwards of 8200,000 in specie
together with a large number of Books be
longing to commercial houses of Tumpico,
where they had been transported for safety
during the late invasion.
Latest from Buenos Ayres.—By tho
arrival oftlio brig Ruth, Copt. Jefferson, which
left Nuenos Ayres Aug. 29, and Montevideo
Sept. 3, we havo, says tho U. S. Gazette,
tlirough the attention of Mr. Sanderson,of tho
Coffee House, a file of papers from both pla
ces.
At Buenos Ayres, wo learn, all was quiet.
Tho new administration has been arranged.
All the newly appointed ministers havo
entered upon tho discharge oftheir respective
functions.
Senore Eszalada, as Minister of war, has
addressed a letter to General Juan Manuel
Rosas, commandant of thu country districts,
stating that the Government had authorized
and given to the General full powers, to regu
late the peace of the country, and relied upon
hts known patriotism to carry it into effect.
Thu new provisional governor of* the colony
Jaun Jose Viumont, issued a proclamation on
the 20th of August in which ho promised to
overlook tho past, but to put down with the
strong arm ot power, those that should raise
tho cry of dicorder.
A report was prevalent at Mnnto Video,
•that l)or.tnr F/atteiatho 1 )ict«u»r ofParujrimy,
was dead ; this has caused some hopes that
the trade of tho country will bo opened.
Military.—An order from tho Ad/t. Gen*
inral’s Offico of 23d September, details the
proceedings of a General Court Martial hold
at Jcflbrsoti Barracks, (Mississippi,) in July
last, by which two deserters wcru condemned
to be shot. As no such sentence can bo exe
cuted in time of peace, until ratified by the
President, tho proceedings were transmitted
to him, and ho itas disapproved the sentence
in both cases. In the first, that of a Sergeant
—because the man was uctuully returning to
duty, when arrested; nnd in tho second, that
of a soldier deserting for the third time—be
cause the record did not show that the mem
bers of the Court wore sworn, nnd that the
omission to state that fact on tho record,
vitiated the whole proceedings. Both prison
ers wore therefore directed to bo sot at liberty
—the Sergeant to bo restored to his former
rank—tho soldier to be discharged from the
army, and a description of him to ho sent, to
every post, so that ho might never bo again
permitted to enlist.
Cultivation of Suoar Cane.—General
Wade Hampton, whilst in Montgomery, Ala-
bntna, which he left a short time since, wrote
a letter to his son, near Columbia, South Car
olina ; from which tho editor of tho Journal
of that placo was permitted to maim tho fol
lowing extract, to which the particularatten-
tention of tha farmers ofthut otato is invited
the moro especially, as his judgement in rela
tion to tho subject matter of the lot ter must be
allowed to bo worth as much as that of any
other man whatever, haying been for a num
ber of years very extensively engaged in the
culture of Sugar Cano.
“ Nothing lias, for a long time, astonished
mo so much as the appenranco of the Sugar
Cano all through Georgia and this State, as
fur or I have seen: It is moro foward and
sweet than I over know it to bo at. tho sfupe
season in Louisiana. It has determined mo *fto,
go tho witolo" on it Carolina, and to give, tip
Cotton for evor, after tho next crop, By tlie
last of January you may expect an arrival in
Charleston with a full cargo of Otaheitc tops,
with tho exception of fifty hhds.of Sugar or
Molasses for uallust. Another, nnd another
will follow, to complete tho planting of filly
acres as thick us if for rolling. The year af
ter you ought to follow suit. All doubts, from
my mind,ol its complete success a nJremoved.”
Rum.—A miserable being was found dead
on Saturday morning last, in one of tiiuse
slight wooden tenements of one story, in tho
upper nart of the city, which upper to be
erected by our enterprising capitalists for the
purpose of selling nun ami perpetuating vice.
Tho poor wretch had formerly boon a visiting
acquaintance of a no loss squalid nnd tnisern
ble family which had held their orgies
there, until expelled by their landlord for ir
regularity in tho payment of their rent, and
had probably sought it ns a shelter from the
storm on Friday evening in a stute of intoxi
cation, and perished. Thus making the thea
tre of his former beastly exploits the scene of
his death.—-V. Y. Mcr. Adv.
Burglary.—The store of Messrs Wilbur
& Wright, 120 Pearl street, was hist evening
entered hy a gang of thieves, ftotn the rcur of
the building, who burst open two doors, after
climbing a very high partition fence, to gain
access to tho store. About 9 o’clock one of
the clerks, who lodges in tho store, returning
from Church, alarmed tho intruders, and they
endeavored to cscapo by scaling tho fence—
but the watchmen caught the alarm, and suc
ceeded in capturing one of tho gang in the
yard. Tho rest made their cscapo, leaving
behind a glazed hat and till their plunder.—
Goods to the voluo of sonto hundreds of dol
lars, were found prepared for removal. Tho
fellow who was tulccn, is a stout, bright color
ed, Indian-looking mulatto, with short-cut
hair;—ho denies ull knowledge of tho robbo
ry. lie is in tho bauds of tho police.
Jour of Com.
Maps.—'Tho mode of making small maps
has recently been much improved in Boston.
Tho names of tho towns are first * set up in
types in their proper places { tho inter-spaces
arc tilled up with Quadrates^ of the some height
with tho typeB; tho whole is then stereotyped;
rivers, mountains, lines, &c. are then engraved
on tho metal which represents tho quadrates,
nnd tho remaining spacois reduced. Tho
letters made in this manner, appear much
plainer than thoso etched or engraved. The
Boston Daily Advertiser lately published n
ntup of tho Seat of War, made after this fash
ion, which presents a very beautiful appear-
nnce. i

that an application will be made to our Legis
lature during its present session, for a charter
to incorporate a Rail Road Company, with
the privilege of conBtntctiug a Rail Road
from Augusta to CgluUibus, passing through
Millcdgevillo and Macon. In the application,
the State will be petitioned to loan a certain
sum or sums of money ut intervals, as the
work may bo completed, or to subscribe for a

It is computed that two millions nine hun
dred thousand dollars will complete the work.
Tito importance of such a work need not bo
commented on. The up-country would de
rive incalculable advantages from it, while all
our towns, from the mountains to Savannah,
would feci its vivifying influences. Should
this central route be completed, other lateral
roads might be constructed to communicate
from the various extremities of the State.—
Wo shall give our views more fully on these
subjects, us time nnd occasion nicy permit us.

StroAn Cane.—We have received from our
friend Hartwell II. Tarver, Esq. a stalk of
sugar cane, of the species colled the ribbon
cane, the growth of Ilia plantation in Twiggs
county, upwards of six loot long. Notwith
standing the unfavorable season, and tho very
late drought, this cane will bear a proud com
parison with tho product of Louisiana. Wo
are informed by the very intelligent gentle
man who brought us this cane, that it is a fair
specimen of his crop of about twenty acres.
Wo hope that Mr. Tarver’s industry and en
terprise will ho nit encouragement to his fol
low-citizens.—

Extract of a letter received in Charles
ton, dated Manchester, Sept. 30.—“ Great
expectations were entertained last week that
we should see the fine mills at work this week
but yesterday tho tiion had a meeting, and
from the promises of support they have re
ceived from other trades, they passed a resolu
tion to remain out six months longer. We
have, however, no idea of such a thing; the
approaching cool weather will bring them to,
und we should not be surprised to see them
in shortly.
“ The demand for fine Yarns continues
equal to the present supply, but it is certainly
tho worst feature in the. business that a six
months’ stoppage of the principal mills has
not yet advanced the prices of tliis article.”
