Jflnjpslrate of Georgia, Oo ilie 3lst day of March >asl, my ap
plication to the Indians for permission to survey the country, mid I
my intention, if tnat application succeeded, to convene the Le
gislature, were made known to the President. Although one
communication at least was subsequently received from the War
Department, not one word was said in oojection to the survey. If
any had been made, 1 would have discussed it calmly and tempe
rately ; and if in the result 1 had found my>elf in (he wrong, it
would have been a question whether for other objects an Kxlra
Session should be called. Now that you are assembled, and in
progress upon public affairs of deepest interest, it is attempted
most unexpectedly to cross and embarrass you; but the Legisla
ture is not to be frightened from its duty by an angry look. 1 iu
vile you to proceed therefore in the course which vou h «ve taken,
and keeping strictly on .he side of right, and within the pale ot
the '/onslituliou and the laws, you will under the most adverse
circumstances iind the most cheering consolations.— Vou cannot
thus proceed without the countenance and support of your consti
luenti, an I 1 doubt not they will be readily y iclded. —ls .tbc pos
sible, which 1 do not permit myself to believe, that a certain per
son tilling a certain station, stands in the way of the peace and
harmony winch ought ever losuosisi between this dud the Gene
ral Government, and on this account valuable interests are en
dangered, th.it person wit) retire instantly, and with much more
pleasure loan he ever occupied that station.
(Signed ) G. M. TROUP.
We find the following among the toasts
which were drank at a dinner given to die
Vice-President on Monday last, in this
City :
.Agriculture, Commerce and Manufactures, —In the order
which they here stand ; tunc and circumstances alone, should
change that order.
Internal Improvements —Whilst worthy the patronage and
support of the General Government, should in their progress,
never presume to encroach on stale rights.
William // Cranford, our enlightened citizen —May the ge
uial clime of Georgia, restore him to health.
The Vice-President gave,
Georgia and Soul/i-Curohna —ldentified in all their interests,
may they be united in sentiment and friendship.
We approve the sentiment here express
ed, and only wish that there had been such
an union previous to the late Presidential
election. As it is—others have the oyster
j— we the shells.
We think the prospectus for establishing
aM useum in our city, worthy the attention
of every inhabitant —and in consequence
recommend it to the serious consideration
of all.

The Crops.-~~ By agcntleman from Liber
ty county, we are informed that, as far as
came under lus observation, the Cotton on
our seaboard has been considerably injured
by the N. E. gale of Friday last, the ram
which was very heavy, having cut and pro
tracted the plants. It is to be feared this
has been the case along the coast generally.
By me schooner Emeliiie from tne coast of
Florida, we learn that the gale was very
severe there; which strengthens this opin
ion. Tiie Corn has also sutiered Irani the
wind. I Sav. Georgian.
Cotton is beginning tube cultivated in the
Sandwich Islands, it is said that twelve
hundred acres are now undergoing prepara
tion fur the purpose.
Donation.— We are informed by the Sec
retary of the tireene and Pulaski Monu
ment Committee that Mrs. Shaw, of Cum
berland Island has enclosed to the Commit
tee the sum of Five Hundred Dollars, to be
appropriated to the erection of the Monu
ment in this city. Mrs. Shaw it will be re
collected is the daughter of General Greene.
Sav. Hep,
General John Floyd is spoken of as a can
didate for the United States’ Senate, from
Virginia, in the room of Governor Barbour,
now Secretary of War.
Probuble fate of the IVusp. —lt is sug
gested by a correspondent ot the Baltimore
Federal G-azette, that the account given by
an Arab Chief, of the loss of an English
ship, and the total destruction of her crew
on the African coast, is probably a detail of
the fate of the United States sloop of war
H asp, and her unfortunate crew. It will be
recollected, that the Wasp was last seen off
Madeira, nearly in the latitude and longi
! tude in which the Spring Grove experienced
those heavy and adverse storms which drove
her to dost: action.
Pirales captured. —Captain Waters, of the
schr. lago, arrived at Baltimore 30th ult.
from Porto Rico, spoke in the Gulf Stream
a brig, the captain of which informed that a
piratical sloop, manned with thirty-eight
men, had been captured by an English cut
ter and a sieam boat fitted oui for the pur
pose at Matanzas, and carried into the latter
port, Ihe pirates who sui lived the action
were sent to Havana for trial. It was as
certained that tiiey had murdered the crews
of more than twenty American vessels.
The Edenton Gazette of the 27th ult.
states that about three weeks ago, the bo
dies of four men were picked up ; one on
the South, and three on the North side ol
Currituck Inlet, ail of them having their
heads and bands cut off’. From one of them
the blood flowed freely when found.
The above men are supposed to have com
posed part of the crew of a vessel in a state
of mutiny.
Important from Cuba. —We have been
informed by a gentleman of respectability,
and on whose statement we can rely, that
a treaty has been concluded between the
French and Spanish governments, by which .
the Islands of Cuba and Porto Rico are to
be occupied, like Cadiz, with the troops of ,
the former nation. Os 16,000 French sol- (
diers now in the West-Indies, 8000 are to ,
be drafted for Cuba, and 4000 for Porto Ri
co ; and the garrisons now occupying these ,
places are to be disbanded and sent to Spain, (
or to some other station. A Frenchman s
has been appointed to succeed General t
Vives in the government of Cuba, winch, (
with, Porto Rico, is to be held by tne ,
Jrench, until the alarm arising fromrevo-Jt
Jutionary principles, and from the fear of
invasions, has completely subsided. Wheth
er Great-Britain wili permit this arrange
ment to be carried into effect, remains to be
seen. She has from 17,000 to 18.000
troops in her West India Islands, and a
powerful naval force, equal at least to’that
ot France and Spain. It is scarcely possi
ble that so great a European force can con
tinue long on this station, without coming
in contact with each other ; and if the
views of the different cabinets arc not in
union, we may expect soon to hear of
some decided event arising out of the pre
sent uncertain state of affairs in this quar
ter of the world.
[iV. Y. Eve. Post.
Useful Discovery. —We understand that
a gentleman residing a few miles from .he
city, in Baltimore County, has invented and
secured a patent right, for a very ingenious
machine, to he applied to the excavation of
Canals, It is calculated to be worked by
horse or steam power, and possesses the ca
pacity of not only excavating the earth,
but of depositing it on both or either side of
the canal, as it may be necessary.
The machine, we learn, is called a Pro
gressive Excavator, and is extrmely simple
in the principles of its construction, and cal
culated to be accommodated in point of size
and power, to the dimensions of the canal
in winch it may be required to work.
VV ithout passing judgment upon the pre
sent invention, or upon the practicability of
. one being made to answer the purposes for
’ which this is intended, we would barely re
mark, that should it be found to answer the
1 end proposed, that much of the expense of
i canal ling may be thereby saved.
Though we are by no means selfish in our
views, nor do not feel any undue local pre
judices, we could wish, if the plan be a fea
sible one, that our neighborhood may be so
fortunate as to reap the laurels and advan
tage of the discovery. Should it realize the
anticipations of its inventor, it may pruba
bly serve as an additional inducement with
the people of Maryland, to break ground in
the great enterprise of the projected Sus
quehanna Canal. Morning Chronicle.
Cheraw, May 31.
We have not been able to get a complete
account of the business, that lias lyeen trans
acted in this place during the last season ;
but will endeavor to give it in our next; we
can with certainty say, that upwards of
twenty thousand bales of Cotton have been
shipped, and there is still more on hand.
Money , —At this season of the year, our
Merchants in this section of Soulli-Caro
liua, are peculiarly situated as it regards
Northern funds, or the paper of our own
state ; as the paper of N. Carolina is our
, only circulating medium, it is with some
difficulty that we can get enough of other
money to meet travelling expenses.
As North-Carolina Money almost invari
ably ranges from 4 to 5 per cent discount,
and some seasons much more, we are led to
make the inquiry, why this great disparity
exists between the money of the two states
of North and South-Carolina.
The State Bank of North-Carolina is con
ducted upon principles as good, if not bet
ter, than any other Bank in the U. S. and
its credit based on as sure a foundation
as that of any other, specie and available
funds.
The Bank of Cape Fear, has notes in cir
culation to the amount of 38u,000 dollars ;
to meet this emission, she has specie in her
vaults amounting to 8170,000. Notes dis
counted on collateral security, gIIO.OOO
—Bills on other Banks B^o,oo0 —available
funds, stocks &c. 880,000. Independent
of which she owns in fee simple one fourth
of the town of Wilmington.
In no instance has either Bank or its
Branches within the last six months refused
to redeem its notes with specie.—The S.
Carolina Banks can do no more, yet we see
a difference in the exchange of 3 to 4 per
cent. WHY IS IT?

EMPLOYMENT OF TIME.
How little, says Lord Christerfield, do
we reflect on the use and the value of time !
It is in every body’s mouth, but in few peo
ple’s practice. Every fool who slatterns
away his whole time in nothings, frequently
utters some trite common place sentence to
prove, at once, its value and its fleetness.
The sundials all over Europe, have some
ingenious inscription to that effect; so that
jno body squanders away his lime, without
frequently hearing and seeing how neces
sary it is to employ it well, and how irre
coverable it is if lost.
AMBITION.
The ambitious man (says Bishop Horne)
employs his time, his pains, and his abilities
to climb to a summit, on which, at last, he
stands with anxiety and fear, and from which
if he fill, it must be with infamy and ruin.
A man of like turn, in the time of Charles
11. had, by unwearied application, attained
a like situation on the top of Salisbury spire.
Every sober thinking man will say in the
one case what the merry monarch said in the
other, “ make the fellow out a patent, that
no one may stand there hut himself.”
There is a certain part in the great dra
ma, which God intends each of us to act ;(
but we often lake a fancy to change it for!
some other, by which means we become mis-'
erable or ridiculous. “Itis an uncontndl-!
ed truth,” says Swift, “ that no man ever
made an ill figure who understood his own
talents, nor a good one who mistook them.”

FIRE I— On W ednestlay morning (lie<
first inst. between the hours of 1 and 3 o’-
1 clock, the citizens of Columbia Cuurt-
II use were aroused from their beds by the
. appalling cry of Fire, which had broke out
in one of the rooms of William F. Wilkins’
tavern, immediately over the post-office,
and so great was its progress before it was
discovered, that all attempts to arrest it
proved utterly unavailing.
The post office with all the letters, do
cuments, &c. were consumed, together with
the tavern, dwelling house, offices and put-
I houses, amounting to nine buildings, be
■t sides a largo amount of furniture, &c. fell
a prey to the flames. William P. Wilkins
is the principal sufferer, his loss alone is
estimated at from six to seven thousand
dollars.
The fire is supposed to have been the ef
fect of carelesness, in some person leaving
. a lighted caudle in the room.
Emigration to Canada.— lt appears by
. Montreal papers of the 21st, that 700 set
tlers had arrived at Quebec from Ireland,
during the week ending the 17th insf. A
vessel had also arrived at Quebec from
' Greenock, which place she left the 22d
, April, with settlers for the township of
, M’Nab. The Editor of the Montreal Cou
, rant says, “We have been informed by a
'gentleman who came passenger in the Ame
thyst from London, that he heard from good
, authority in the British capital, that arrange
ments were making to send 15,000 Irish
emigrants to Canada this summer.”

SECRETS OF MASONRY.
At an Inn in the west of England, several
’ persons were sitting round the fire, in a la*ge
1 kitchen, through which was a passage to the
' other apartments of the house, amongst
! whom were a female traveller and a tailor.
At this Inn, a lodge of Free and Accepted
Masons was held; and it being Lodge
night, several of the members passed the
• company in their way to the room in which
’ they ffiet. This circumstance introduced
' observations on the occult signs by which
1 Masons could be known to each other; when
the female observed that there was not so
much mystery in Masonry as people imagin
’ ed, and that she herself could shew any per
‘ son a Mason’s sign. “ What,” says the
1 tailor, “ that of a Free and Accepted Ma
' son f” “Yes,” she replied, “and I will
wager you a half crown bowl of punch, to be
decided by any of the members you may
’ please to appoint, that 1 perform my prom
ise.” “ Why,” says the tailor, “ a woman
was never admitted ; then how is it possible
1 you could procure the secret “No mat
-1 ter for that,” says she, “ 1 will readily for
feit the half crown if I do not prove the
fact.” The company urged the tailor to ac
cept the challenge, and (he amount of the
’ bet was deposited. The woman immedi
' ately started up and took the tailor by the
■ collar. “ Come,” says she, “ follow me ;”
! which he did, trembling as he went along,
fearing he was undergoing some part of the
discipline to making a Mason, of which he
had heard such a dreadful report. She led
him into the street, and pointing to a sign of
, the Lion and Lamb, asked him whose sign
[it was. The tailor answered, “ Mr. Lad
. ger’s,” the name of the Innkeeper. “Is he
, a Free Mason f” “Yes,” said the tailor.
“ Then I have shown you the sign of a Free
i and Accepted Mason.” The laugh was so
, much against the poor tailor, that it was
. with great difficulty he could be prevailed
upon to partake of the liquor, which wag
forthwith produced at his expense.
Jintidole against Poisons. —A correspon
dent of the London Literary Gazette, al
luding to the numerous case l of death from
accidental poisonings, and particularly to
i the melancholy fate of the late royal acade
i mician, Mr. Owen, adds : “ I may venture
to affirm, there is scarce even a cottage in
this country that does not contain an inval
uable, certain, and immediate remedy for
such events, which is nothing more than a
desert spoonful of made mustard, mixed in
a tumbler glass of warm water, and drank
immediately. It acts as an instantaneous
emetic, is always ready, and may be used
with safety in any case where one is re
quired. By a mistake, where a gentleman
(took a full ounce of poison instead of salts,
:the castors were fortunately at hand, and
no doubt his invaluable life was preserved
! to his family by giving the mustard directly.
By making (Ids simple antidote known, you
may be the means of saving many a fellow
creature from an untimely end.”
