CONSTITUTIONALIST. ' AUGUSTA: ! ] TUESDAY, MAY 17, 1825. , . , , =«==== j We have more than once alluded to - the 1 probable disposition of our new Territory, at the ensuing extra session. We cannot refrain from once more dropping a hint, to .j those gentlemen who are to meet on Mon day next, to deliberate and act for the pub lic good. We have seen no reply, in any of our public prints, either to our own sug gestions, or the essays in the Savannah Re- | publican on this subject. Front this we , should hope that public sentiment was com ing right. A public meeting has been held in Savannah, of which an account is con tained in the Georgian of (he 14th instant. Their resolutions protest against Land, Lot teries, & recommend to (he citizens through o out the State to take a similar course in their several counties. If our Legislature give due consideration to the sentiments of the Savannah meeting, and the principles on which they are founded ; our territory will be trilled away no more. There seems to be. a dearth of news just now. We see little, either at home or a broad, which requires much comment. When the Legislature are once fairly at bu siness, they may give us something to talk about. At present we can only anticipate what they will do : but as we should not like to prove false prophets, we must keep pur anticipations to ourselves, ’till the re sult enables us to say—“ just what we ex pected.” — 906 The accounts from Liverpool of the 29th and 30th March, although highly flattering and more favourable, than any preceding, received this season, produced no anima tion in our Cotton market: We noticed only a few sales at 24 to 25 cents for mix ed lots. On Saturday it appears, several expresses reached town from Charleston ; and heavy transactions took place at 25j and 26—for mixed parcels. By letters received from Charleston by mail yester day evening, it appears, that the brig Gen eral Brown, had arrived off the bar, express from Liverpool j whence she sailed on the 2d April. The captain ca ne up to town and brought letters to one or two houses ; the contents of which are said to be., an ad vance of 2d, in the price of Uplands on the Ist April, and it is supposed heavy orders, to affect purchases. Brazil Cottons, it ap pears had advanced to 19d, and wereqfcx pected to go to 21—(we suppose in conse quence of the partial failure of the crop, there, which was suspected here to be the case for some time past, on account of a number of vessels arriving from the Bra zils in ballast in our ports.) The transactions in the Charleston mar ket, are variously estimated at from 4 to 6000 Bales. The first purchases commenced at 25 a 25$ cents, and when factors began to sus pect something, prices advanced, and the most of the remaining sales were at 26j a 23. a few lots at 29 cents and two or three, sales at 50 cents, and one at 31 cents. Bills on England were down to 6010 pre mium. There appeared to be very little doubt as to a further advance in Liverpool on account of the activity of the manufac tories and the very reduced stock left on hand. We hope, to see our markets settling at 28 to 30 for good lots. Our stock has di minished about 4000 bales the week past. G. & H. -■«« Caution. —The public arc cautioned a gainst receiving notes of the Bank of the State, of the denomination of two dollars, without examination, as >ve have seen the one dollar notes alteiedby chemical process, into two’s. The detection is easily made, as the device ol the face of the bills is dif ferent. [Chas. Patriot. Attempt to Rob the Southern Mail. —The Southern Mail due on Thursday last did not arrive in this place until yesterday morning —the delay was occasioned by an attempt having been made to rob it. The driver states, that on Wednesday evening, about half past 8 o’clock, between Combabue and Ashepoo, he was suddenly laid hold of, and pulled out of the sulkey by several persons who threw him down anti filled his face with sand—that on recovering himself, he found that the horse being fright ened, had run oft’ with the Mail before they had accomplished their design. The night being very dark, the driver could not dis tinguish whether these persons were white or black ; but finding the object of their at tempt lost, they abandoned him and he es caped without material injury. After running for about 4 miles, the horse, with the mail was stopped by the other drivei who was carrying the Northern mail to Sa vannah. [_Ckas. City Gaz. Indian Disturbances. —We have been favored (says the Georgia Messenger) with the following Copy of a letter from Colonel Crowell to his brother, Capt. Henry Crow- i ell, dated 6th May, 1825. S “ Sir —Since the intelligence of the death of Mclntosh, the whole nation is in confusion —his party has threatened the death of the 1 Little Prince and myself. So soon as the g news got out, the warriors poured in, in p great numbers to protect us, and seemed in tent to pursue them and put them to death— mt I have restrained them. They will, e rnwever, guard my house every night. I can not yet ascertain whether there is any dao- I ger or not. JOHN CROWELL.” < -®oo- t Mobile, May 3. Loss of Steam-Boat Henderson. — We re gret to be compelled to record another mis fortune, being the third which has occurred this season on the Alabama, in the loss of the Henderson. She stopped on the night of the 28th, to land some freight and passengers at the lower landing at Claiborne, and the next morning about 2 o’clock got underway a gain, bound up, when in a few minutes af ter, between the upper and lower landing, she was run foul of by the Balize, and sunk in 25 minutes. Being under a high Bluff the night was very dark, ami both turning a point at the same time did not discover each other until within a few yards, when it was found too late to avoid meeting. The Balize was running down stream at the rate of ten miles an hour, and the Henderson six up stream, when they met bows on with a i tremendous shock, which stove in the bows of the Henderson, and both sheared across to the Claiborne side of the River. It was ' soon discovered that the Henderson must * go down, and the passengers, who were all : asleep at the moment, turned out in the » greatest confusion and made exertions to ( save themselves—the boat was hauled a long side and a great part of them got in. * The Henderson was run aground and a stage ■ made to the shore, by which means the - crew and passengers were fortunately all saved, with the chief of their baggage before she sunk. There were 16 cabin-passengers, j among whom the following only were re collected by our informant; Mi. Jas. Er -3 win and bis Lady, daughter of the Hon. H. ’ Clay. Messrs. H. Hitchcock, Stephen Hills, j I) White, L. Abercrombie, VV. Chase, T. Robinson, Hatcher, Battle, all of this state, and Mr. Hutchinson, of Augusta, Georgia. After landing it was with the great-, st dis -1 ficulty and exertion that they*were enabled ,to ascend the Blnil'. The bow of the lien . dersnn was made fast to a tree by a strong . hawser, by which means she was prevented s from sliding oft’ entirely when she sunk ~ When our informant left her at 9 o’clock, , her smoke chimneys were just above wa , ter, her bow aground, and her stern hanging ’in 40 feet water. The River had swollen 2 two feet from the time she went down, and was still rising. Her cargo was principally ’ Groceries, and it was supposed but little of .it would be saved. The Balize suffered . some damage, having a part of her bow cut ( down to the waterfe edge, but did not leak. t ’. The Henderson was insured in New-York a for g 10,000. GEORGIA, Burke County. - \ Superior Court, May Term , 1825. 0 Present, the Hon. 11. R, Reid, Judge. General Flournov communicated to the a Court, the melancfioly information of the ■ death of the Honorable Rokert Walker, late e a Judge of the Superior Courts of this State. a Whereupon, on motion of Gen. Flournov, ? seconded by Maj. Allen. It is ordered, * that a committee be appointed to frame ai d * report suitable resolutions, expressive of the e regret of the members of this Bar, and of 1 their respect lor the memory of the deceas * ed. And Messrs. Flournoy and J. G. Pol n hill and Mr. Attorney General, are appoin ted that committee by the Court. Gen. * Flournoy then moved in his place that the ■ Court do now adjourn, and by order, the Court was adjourned until 9 o’clock, to ■ morrow morning. Tuesday, 10th May, 1825.—The Court ’ met pursuant to adjournment—present the e Hon. R. R Reid, Judge. The Committee appointed yesterday to e draw up and report suitable resolutions on the subject of the lamented death of the !’ Hon. Robert IValker , late Judge ol the " Superior Courts of this Circuit, ask leave to state to the Court and their Brethren— That the deceased was the oldest Lawyer e in the Middle Circuit, having been ad mitted to the practice upwards of 30 years S ago. During this time he was, for about >l the space of six years, Attorney-General of the State of Georgia ; and for twelve y years a Judge of the Superior Courts of 11 this District ; and in the discharge of the y duties of their high and responsible offices, q his conduct was recollected with puri y of “ heart and uprightness of intention. As a 0 member of our profession, and as a private ‘ citizen, he was considered amicable and Y just. His memory is therefore endeared to 1 us by many proofs of recollected friend ship, and acts of social kindness. His de e parture hence is a subject of lamentation to ■" numerous friends ; and society feels the ” loss of a faithful public servant. While it is our duty to bow, with resignation, to the dispensations of Divine Providence, it be -1 comes us to pay that tribute of respect, which is due to the memory of an honest and upright man. Resolved, therefore, as a testimony of respect for the memory of n| the deceased, that vie will wear crape on > the left arm for the space of 60 days.— 1 Resolved, That the whole of the proceed-, in"s in relation to this subject, ami the fore going resolutions, be published.

The quality of the water is be c lining r.O well known, in consequence of the great numbers of persons who used and received benefit from the last season, that the subscriber deems it scarcely necessary to enter into a detail of their properties and effects. He will, how ever, for the information of those who ni.iy still remain unacquainted with them, remark, that there are two springs—the waters of one of which, are strongly impregnated with sulphur and magnesia—the other with iron. T lie first acts on some as a mild, on others, as an active ca thartic, and arc* strongly recommended in com plaints of the liver and k dneys, dispepsia, and in - all diseases arising from a disordered stomach. They at once remove iudigcst ou and the. can .e hy which it is produced, restore lust appetite., pu rity the blood, and rxhiliarate the spirits. In ca .l .es of debility and weakm si, they h ive been found particularly efficacious. The waters of the other spring are strongly tunic, and thought very proper to be used after drinking the sulphur wa. ter. To promote the effects of each, hot, cold and shower baths are provided. p Vhe building* of t/iis establishment, as men icued In a former advertisement, are all of brick, , and in an eminent degree unite neatness, conve t uicnce and comfort. These points have been par- L iicularly anevded loin those departments intend ed for the use of ladies or families. The adja cent mountains abounding in game, gentlemen fund ol hunting, will have an oppoi (unity of in ducing in that pursuit. Those preferring more - inactive amusements, w ill find newspapers, books, cliesamen, backgammon tables, ike. { Amusements d-o for the ladies have not been ■ overlooked ; Music of toe best kind will be pro vided for dancing—and suen us are fond ol play, ing on the Forte Piano, will find in the drawing - room an clegaiit one provided fnr their use. Moderate exercise on horseback or in carriages, being considered very proper whilst using the n waters, the subacrib.r lakes this occasion to re- L ' mark that die part oi lbe country in which Ins springs are situated, are peculiarly adapted to , this kind of exercise—they are surrounded on every side by lofty mountains, with a rich and Oeauttful valley intervening between. 'lbis val ley affords excellent roads; mid in riding out the , pure air inhaled fresh from the mountains, acting in connexion with the waters, at once gives as surance of returning health, even to the greatest invalid. Geinkmen from the South, wishing to dispense with the us -of carriages and horses, can come j - d.redly to the spot without incurring the ex ’ pense of either —they will proceed oy water * from Savannah, Charleston, or any other sou h -11 ern port, to Norfolk, thence in ihe steam-boat to • Richmond, from whence there is twice a week, a mail stage tiiai now passes within two miles of this place, and idler the 15Ui of June, will come directly to the spot, passing through the .flourish _mg town of Lynchburg. Alter arriving here J and remaining as long as is agreeable, they cun then proceed to any of the adjacent springs they 8 may choose in a hack kept by the subscriber for that piirpoue. Vlie distance to the Sweet Springs i- thir y seven miles—to the White Sulphur, fifty five—ro the Sweet and Balt Sulphur, sixty—to ■ the Bed Sulphur, seventy-two—and to the Hut and Warm Springs, between sixty and seventy , miles. s It is recommended to gentlemen intending to visit any of the Virginia Watering Places, to have their fetters addressed to the Botetourt Springs. It being the first watering place they _ will touch at in going, and the last in returning, they will experience great convenience in billow t ing these directions—because on their arnval they may find letteia (r uu home, and during their stay, will Pave an opportunity of hearing (rom (their friends every other day, as the mail from ’j lie South arrives three times a week. Ifafter remaining with the subscriber as long as is a greeahle, they should choose to proceed to any of the niegl boriiig springs, he promises that their letters shall he csrelully forwarded, whether so ! ever they may direct.
