Not a iluglo newspaper was received by yesterday's
mail, uo letter* boyond Georgetown.
By tlio sloop John fchevalier, arrived yesterday, we
{ggeived the Charleslyh Courier of Monday.
The President’* Message was received at Columbus,
Ohio, a distance or more than 4G0 m iles from Washing
ton, in 35 hours, and at Cincinnati, more than 500, in
49 hour*. It reached Mobile in 92 3-1 hours, and will
no doubt hovereached N.Oilmans in less than five days.
The greatest speed on any routo liitherto was in this
titate, between Augusta anJ Warr.nton, twenty-four
miles in 53 minutes—between Washington and Haiti-
more it went at tho rato of 24 miles per hour, and in
North Carolina at 20 mile*. The average speed of the
express carrging tins important document is unpreco-
fronted in tho annals of express rididitig. Tho i'ximmIi-
tion with which an account ol the drawing uf the Irish
Lottery in 1792 was convoyo.I, was considered to be
unequalled at least so lutu as 1325; but this was not over
thritcen miles per hour,as appears by the following state

Population and KM’KtstNT.vrw:;.—The following
calculation* and estimate* are ftotn tin* Huston Ga
zette. Theyaro ofinterestut the present moment, or
tho census must bo taken in the course of the neat year.
In relation to Georgia we think Unit, tho calculation is
erroneous ; wo believe that our population has increased
fd in a sufficient degree, at (oast to entitle us to the
samc representation under the 50,000 ratio us under the
^resentof40,000. Oftlic some result under that of
60,000, wo are not so certain. Previous to 1790, con-*
linuca tho paper quoted, when the first census was ta-
.lion, the framers of the Constitution caused a division o'
power among the thirteen original Stales, according to,
and guided only by their judgment, as will be seen in the
first column. Af.er 1790, Virginia, thou styled the
‘ancientdominion,’ was possessed within a fraction of
one-fifth of tho whole political power—was twice a»
largo as Now York, and one-third larger than Penn*) I-
vania j and in the 22d Congress, or two years hence,
Now York will be precisely twice us largo as she. ()lu->
was not then known ; nor did sho submit her humbh
claims till ten or fifteen year* after, and then only through
a solitary delegate. One year hence,'Virginia and Ohio
will be side by side. After the first census the ratio r>:
representation was fixed at 30,000—in lfiOO at 33,000-—
in 1810 at 35,000—in 1820 at 10,000—atid tho pn.ba- j
bslity now is, that the next ratio will he at least 50,(K:0 :

ment of tho United Stale*, from 1789 to 1818, for cu*<
toms, internal revenue, direct taxes, postage, &c. wo*

period, wero lot** by between six and seven millions—
tho balance in the treasury, ou the I.-.t January, 1823.
Citnnaior Exomnd Itm>kmavion.—Tho London
Times say* that auumg the intended reforms in the
Chinch service, wo hear that St. Athanasius’* Creed
is to he omitted or modified, and that tho King'* name is
only to he mentioned unco iu tho servtcu ; this would bn
more in eonsiniance with the Emperor Alexander’*
command, uu his return from J2iiglaiul-to Russia, which
checked all udiil.itiou of him in the prayers, stating (hut
all Chiistiaus ought lo enter church to pray to God and
not to laud man.

Senate, uniLFodoral numbers to the House of Delegates,
wnsTcjcetcd, aye* 41, nous 52. Another proposition
to fix the basis of the House of Delegates on free while
population and taxation combined, was also rejected, 51
to-15. Mr. Gordon then introduced a rcsolu iun, up-
portioning the representation .in both houses, ns follow.*.:
“There shall he thirteen Senator* west of the ltlue
Hidgo of mountains, and nineteen east of those moun

There shall he in the House of Delegates one hundred

he elected from the district west of tho All* gliany moun
tain* ; twenty four from the Valluy between ihu Allegha
ny mill Itlue’ltidge; forty from the Ulue Hitlgo to the
head of tide-water, and thirty four theiicu below.”
This resolution was adopted, ayes 50, lines 4G. The
WhigTemaiks that the whole proceeding* were “pain
fully exciting to the friends of equal rights.”
Trxr.xsf n LEoisj.ATvnn.—In the House of Repre
sentatives a Committed was appointed, on the 2d hint,
on motion of Mr. Overton, to inquire into tho official
conduct of Judina Haskell, one of the Judges of the
Circuit Court of Law and Equity in and for the eighth

Wo mentioned yesterday that paper* had been recei
ved at Ncw-Orlcans from Vera Cruz, containing the
new* of an insurrection at Carnjmachy. Tho Vera
Cruz papers a'so contain a proclamation of Gen. Bus-
y am anti, commander of the army of reserve, denounc
ing this act as a crime against the national sovereignty,
cud urgently calling upon the army to support tho Con
stitution and tho laws. Our correspondent of tho New-
Orleans Bee, under datu of the lltli inst, mentions, thui
one of the Vera Cruz paper* contains a circular of the
Mexican Minister of the Interior, permitting all the Spa
nish Officers who have been expelled from tho service
of that Republic, to return and resume their duties.
Emigration,—The editor oflho St. Louis Beacon,
Missouri, says— 1 '• All accounts and opinions agree, that
tho emigration of tho present year exceed* anything
ever befbro seen in this quarter. Travellers say that
the roads are filled with moving masses. Tho two
groat routes ore by Louisville and Vincennes, and by
Ford** Ferry, or Shawneetown. At this place wo see
a constant succession of wagon* and vehicles, besides
tho arrivals by steam boats. They come iu good time,
tho abundanco and excellence of every species of crop
being unprecedented even in this land of oversowing
plenty,”
Tho London Sun announces that Mr. Owen,who has
just returned to England,after a long and arduous course
of travelling through North, and some parts of South A-
mcrica, states, that after repeated communications with
Inanv oflho influential Members of Congress in the
United States, ho found that they were willing to do
every thing in-their power to pronvitu hi* plan* of im
provement, by means of which a morn friendly and en
lightened communication would ho kept up between
'England and America, and the statu of society in tho
•two countries bo materially bctwifiUcd. While at Mex
ico, Mr. Owen was offered by tho President Victoria,
in the name oflho Executive power, the jurisdiction of a
territory, 150 miles broad, along tho whole lino of fron
tier between tho republic of Mexico and tho United
Stales. This territory Mr. Owen means to have go
verned under tho laws and regulations which ho has
prepared ; so soon us *omo previous necessary arrange
ments havo been completed between himself and the
Mexican Administration. On the whole, the Sun
adds ho seems perfectly satisfied with the hold,
which his principles seem likely to obtain in tho New
World.

The Sultan Mahmoud.—The rage of the
Sultan for innovations, and au assimilation
(so unorthodox in a Mussulman) to Europe-

some traced to his French extraction. It
may not bo generally known that the mother
of Mahmoud was it fascinating brunette, tx
native of Cherbourg, in France, .who, by some
of tho very common occurrences iu the pirati-
eal sens of the Mediterranean, falling iuto the
hands of the Turks, eventually became au in
mate of tho Seraglio. From her great beau
ty and attractions she was elevated to llu-
rank of favorite Sultana, and hivtmmtho mo.

Nassau, Dec. Jl).—Notwithstanding the
number of shipwrecks which occur among
these Islands, it is not often that wo havo to
relate tho loss of their crews or passengers.—
To such general rule, the wreck of the selir.
William Dawson, which occurred in the late
stormy weather, is an exception. It is how
ever, very satisfactory to fmd, that ou such
occa.-nus’ our wreckers conduct themselves
with hotci dy as to the property, ami human
ity and kindness to the unfortunate; and
hero we must aver, that instances of a contra
ry conduct are experienced butin very few in-
stances. The following statement has been
handed to us by a gentleman passenger in the
vessel wrecked, and wo give it without alter
ation.
Mc.hmcliohj Shipwreck.—Tho sclir. Wil
liam Dawson, Clark, of New York, from
Richmond, bound to I’ensacohi, Florida, was
driven by a violent tempest on the Reef of
Coterney Key, Island of Abaco, on tho 7th
Dec.—sho struck the rucks nt 2 o’clock, a. m.
and went to pieces iu tliroo minutes. The
passengers on board were Dr. Patrick Cullen,
of Richmond, Mr. Thomas Cooksey of said
city, and a female (negro) servant.---Tho crow
consisted of tho Captain, male, (Isaac Thomp
son of New York) stowart, and throe soanicn.
Mr. Cooksey, servant, and tho mate wore
washed from tho wreck and perished; the
survivors, after clinging to fragments of tho
wreck for 5 hours, (during which period they
suffered overy thing short of death) wero res
cued from their perilous situation, by the Im
mune exertions of Mr. Albert Saunders (Aba
co) who used ovory means that humanity and
intrepidity could suggest, to alleviato tho suf-
furingH of his fellow men; ho took tho survi
vors to iiiu house mid administered to them
till the comforts their deplorable situation ry
On my plantation, since the vcor 1812,
there never 1ms boon ono kettle of juice which
ims failed making {Sugar; and, tho hurricatio
year, (1624) excepted, of making Sugar of a
line quality. I send the affidavit of iny Over
seer for eleven years past, it really appears
ludicrous to discuss this subject ut this date.
Col. Blount, has been making Sugar of
a fair quality for five years past, within eigh
teen miles of Milledgevilh*, without using lime
to granulate.—Governor Randolph & myself,
returning in the spring of 1827, from Talla
hassee to MiUcdgovillo, saw sumo acres of
cane manufactured info fair Sugar, hy a Mr.
Livingston, near Hartford, upon tho Oakmul-
geo, without tho use of lime or ulkuli to gran
ulate ; either of these situations arc colder
than Charleston or its vicinity.
Ifatty remain incredulous still, let them
bruiso in a morter, and then express find
strain.in any. manner they please, a quart of
juico from ’ tho caito brought :from Cuba,
and tho same quantity of juico from cane
grown in Carolina, after tho leaves havo
been blighted by the frost, remembering to take
the lower part of tho cane, and from whole
some unmanured lund. It will bo seen timt
il*an hydrometer is suspended in a ntiart of
those several juic *s, it will rise us high in
ono as in tho* other ; and tho experimenter
may bo assured, whenever the hydrometer
(loaded with quicksilver) rises above the mark
(seven) 7, he can make Sugar; forifthis in-
iiistrutnont is not an absolute‘measure of the
sweets of tho Beat juice, it is au absolute mea
sure of the sweets of the cane, if ton years'
daily ttso in my Sugar .house authorize me
to say so.
All prejudices will pass awnv with the pre
sent season, for after experimenting upon a
small.scale for years, Mr. Coupcr, Mr. S.
King, Dr. Tuuuo, and others, have gone into
the growth and manufactory of Sugar, upon
a broad und extended scale! on tho river lands
oftlic Altumuha and other low grounds.
Nor must you lake all that the refiners say
as true, upon the quality of Louisiana Sugar;
it is not so hard and lirlit in its gruiu as what
is grown upon the higher and lighter lands ;
but take it in its whole, it is equal, at the
same age, to the mass of Sugar grown in any
quarter of the world. This tho refiners deny,-
qccauso they, as the duties arc now arranged,
between tho drawback and the treacle, (or
drainage,) actually derive profit from foreign
Sugars. But what then, they nro manufac
turers, and had a right to participate iu the
spoil of tho day.”

Personally appeared before me, Thomas Iv.
Gould, who being sworn states, That he has
managed for Mr. Thoum-sSpalding, on Supo-
lo Island, lbr 11 years, a id that purl of the

never failed in making from (>0 to 100 tierces
of Sugar per year; and that the ut tho whole

Extracts from a letter written by Tims.
Spalding Ext/, to the Editor of the South
ern Agriculturist, on the Culture of the.
Sugar Cane iu South Carolina * and
(tcurgiu.
Major Wood and Mr. James Smith, were,
after myself, among the first persons who cul
tivated the cane as a crop; they grew their
cane, which was tho green or Ottiheile-cauo,
upon river lands; their fields were mingled
with, and surrounded by their Rice-fields, and
not very deeply drained. They, t he first sea
son, us every one so shunted would have done
iu any climate, Tound difficulty in making Su
gar ; they had no guide but what wus offered
iy one oi* Major Wood’s negroes, spending
six or seven days in my boiling house. They
turned, iu their disappointment, from Sugar
to tho manufacturing of Syrup, of the weight
of Molasses, for which they found a ready
sale, at a price which gave them from 59 to
§90 per acre; they wero satisfied with this
return, and although in each successive year
since, they have made some Simar, they have
persisted,*because they have been satisfied
with the other result.—Muj. Butler’s estate
has been making Sugar, on river lauds, for
fourteen years. Dr. Tuuuo has been niatiti-
fucturing at Major Butler’s works, for several
years past,, an acre of cane for bis own r.ud
his plantation's use,which has given him from
1909 to 1309 lbs. of Sugar. It is n mistake,
therefore, to suppose that the cane juices are
weaker here than iu Louisiana, or the Yv’esl-
Itidies—they are not so.
It would be much more difficult to make
fair Sugar from the cane grown upon the riv
er lauds of Demarara and Surinam, when first
reclaimed, than from tho river lauds of the
Mississippi or the Alabama, because the for
ests arrest that vegetation which is kept up
iu such soils, by tropical heat and tropical
moisture. For you will understand that the
cane is employed iu all countries to make
Sugar, before it lias perfected itself; after it
litis tnsselled (arrowed) or thrown out tho
small cane which is its seed, from the top, it
is uo longer fit for tho purpose.
That men of science should have takon up
the impression that the juices of cane uro
weaker here than elsewhere, is the more ex
traordinary lo me, as it would Benin that there
were indications enough to havo led them to
a different conclusion. Tho ameliorat ing ef
fects of frost upon the juices of all fruits must
have been known to them.
The powerful and continued heats of our
August und September, just that season whoa
the cane iu developing i’tselft must have been
felt by them. But rcusoning apart, the fact
is, that hundreds of persons upon tho banks
of the Altamaha and its tributaries, arc ma
king fuir Sugar, without the aid of either lime
or alkalies; a degree of concentration in the
cane juice quite uncommon in tho West-Iu-
dicp, ou one of tho extracts contained in the
Review will shew.

Extract of a letter from Dr. L. Powell, of
Mont let Ho (O co.) In a Medical gentle
man of Talbot county.
“Duringthe summer and autumn, I have
had frequent opportunities of trying Dr. Dan-
iell’s practice (Red Pepper toa,*&c.)to the ful
lest extent in Bilotis and Intermittent Fe
vers; and I am happy to say that in almost
every case in which 1 prescribed it, tho result
was ’ favorable. And indeed, I have never
peon such evident benefit from any mode of
treatment in our autumnal fevers. One
among the most distressing and alarming
svmtoms with which wc had to contend in
the treatment of our endemic iutermittents,
was the periodical recurrence of cholera mor
bus. To bring this alarming feature of the
disease to a. successful termination, has fre
quently bullied all the usual remedies afforded
mo by our materia modiea. Under my pre
sent plan of treuuient, those cases heretofore
regarded as so formiduable, I consider alto
gether manageable and entirely under the
control oft he most simple treatment; since
the adoption of which my patients have un-
iiniforiuly recovered, and their convalescence
has boon much more speedy. On the 10th
ult. I was ealleil to see P. Owens, Esq. he
was attacked wit It fever accompanied with bi
lious vomiting, which had produced great
prostration. 1 found him in a cold, clammy
sweat, his pulse beating thirty times a min-
uite, extreme nutisea, and continual disposi
tion to vomit. All the usual remedies were
tried in vain ; anodynes, blistering, &c.,
without having tho smallest tendency to allay
the irritation or compose tho stomach, which
re jected every thing as soon as it reached it.
1 resorted t o tho Red Pepper Tea and Mus
tard—1 ordered the the tea to be mpde very
strong, and gave it freely, and applied tho
mustard to a largo extent of Ids surface. In
thirty minutes tho nausea and vomiting ceas
ed, a reaction seemed to Uo produced, and he
soon recovered.
I have witnessed many such cases since, all
of which tcrinniimtod favorably under similar
treatment, without tho use of drastic med
icine.”
