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? i, i -. ' 1 " 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.” I By \ast Evftmug’s Mali. 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.” , [<V. V. Eve. Post, A Company has been formed in Hartford (Con.) to light that city with Gas. The Steam Engines now in England, it 1 is calculated, amount to the power of 320,- 000 horses, equal to that of 1,920,000 men, which being in tact managed by 3,600 men only, adds actually to the power of the pop ulation 1,884 000 men. A female child, aged five years, in New ; Hampshire, has accused its mother of mur s dering a man, and throwing his body into a f pond. The citizens are draining the pond i to ascertain the truth of the story. r 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.” ‘ THE ! 4 f the earnest solicitations of ti number nt l» . dies and gentlemen, die exhibition <>t the drove celebrated Picture (us been re opened in , the City-Hall, bin poshly j v cipscs TVua Bay.
