Tbe Augusta Chronicle, Sixty
Years Ago.
A late number of the Edgefield Advertiser
contains an article, giving an account of a
•opy of the Augusta Chronicle, printed in the
year 1810, We have iu our possession a
file of the Chronicle for the month of Octo
ber 1793, seventeen years older than the
antiquity of our Edgefield cotemporary.—
The Augusta Chronicle of 1793, was a week
ly Gazette. It was printed on derai-cap
paper, very little larger than the common
Foolscap writing paper; it is printed in
columns, there being three on each page.—
The paper is rather course hut strong; its
color is dark, but that is doubtless much
the effect of age. The printer was John E.
Smith who is also styled printer to the
State. Mr. Smith appears to have discharg
ed the double function of Printer and Edit
or. He was the establisher of the Augusta
Chronicle, which appears to have been com
menced about the first of October in the
year 1786. The first number in our file
bears date “Saturday Oct. 5, 1793;” it is
numbered 365; the volume is registered
VIII. The paper was weekly, and fifty two
numbers a year make the complete number
of three hundred ond sixty four; so that
our number of Oct, 5, 1793, would appear
to be the beginning of the eighth volume.
Writing in haste we have not time to make
a more exact calculation as to the precise
day on which the paper dates its birth ; it
is a matter of interest inasmuch as the Au
gusta Chronicle is the oldest paper now
printed in the State. A paper called the
Georgia Gazette had been eslablished in
Savannah about 1762 or 1 63, by James
Johnson; this paper expired iu 1799,
The contents of the paper before us are
interesting for their historical associations,
end because they show us the marked diff
erence in many respects between our own
and the condition of those who lived “sixty
years since.” If we had a Walter Scott
among us, we see no reason why a Georgia
Waverly should not rival the wooer of Rose
Bradwardine, and the majestic beauty of
Flora Mclver meet its counterpart iu some
maiden who flourished in the backwoods of
our Southern Wilderness.
The first article in the paper of Oct. 5,
1793, is the “Constitutional act of the Re
public of France. 5 ' It occupies the whole
of the first page aud little more than five

The next Governor.—We publish on
the first page of this Paper, an article from
the Augusta Constitutionalist & Republic
on this subject, and we are pleased to see
among die names whom the Editor refers
to as worthy and deserving the office, the
name of our fellow citizen, Mr. R. W. Flour
noy, Nothing would be more gratifying
to his friends through this section than his
nomination, aud he would receive a very
cordial aud earnest support. The Consti
tutionalist justly reckons him among the
efficient members of that party ; he is era-
phat : cally a working member, and although
we have never known him as a candidate
for office, except perhaps when he took the
•‘forlorn hope of the Eighth”—when the
candidacy was rather an immolation than
an honor, yet we have always seen him the
first in the field for his party and the last to
leave it.—But apart from this, he is a gen
tleman ofabilty and learning, aud on this
score eminently worthy the office.

Mews of the Week.
There is but little afloat in the papers
in the shape of‘news,’ everything seems to
be quiet, even to dullness. The heavy
rains which have fallen in different sections
of the country afford a text for querulous
comment, and gloomy apprehension of the
crop of the present year; from almost every
section the farmers are complaining of the
inauspicious season for planting, last week
offered some fine days, but they were suc
ceeded by others as unfavorable as could be
wished.
The most interesting news that is receiv
ed ‘now-a-days,’ comes from the Federal
City—the appointments, is looked for with
more curiosity than interest, (at least in
these parts) and serve admirably to keep
up the times in the dearth of news; though
we dare say, the besieged Executive would
gladly be relieved of the thousand hungry
applicants who are continually upon his
heel for a lick at the public crib. Jeff. Da
vis, it is said, is doing the thing up in a
new style, informing every applicant that
the offices in his department, so far as he
is aware, is filled by competent persons, but
that if it otherwise appear, or any resigna
tions, deaths, or removals take place, appli
cations will be considered, and the appoin
tees duly notified. It is said that he dis
patched a batch of about tally a few days
since, in this wise, and that they withdrew
with long faces, and uttering hideous oaths
against the General. A correspondent of
the Milledgeville Recorder y writing on this,
subject says, that the course of Gen. Davis
calls to mind an anecdote of Judge Bibb,
Secretary of the Treasury, under Mr. Tyler,
who, whenever called upon by a lot of office
hunters, was sure to ring for the messenger,
aud when that officer made his appearance
would enquire, “Are any of the clerks dead
this morning ?” And being answered in the
negative, would politely say “Gentlemen,
the Messenger reports px> deaths among the
clerks; I can’t do. anything for you to-day.”
There is some piiA in such flings, bu.t we
suspect that the disappomtees consider that
it involves a vast deal of bad political phi
losophy—audit does away with a very
Christian parable—The ‘loaves andfish.es’—
The political opponents of the President
agree that nearly all of his appointments
have been judiciously made. A Washing
ton correspondent of the N. Y. Tribune of
the 19th, announces the arrival of Edmund
Burke, of N. H. in that city, aud says that
it has given rise to a rumor, that he is au
applicant for re-appointment to the com
missioner of Patents, this the Tribune's cor
respondent denies, and goes on to say :
“He asks the President tor nothing,
probably owing to soniething of a personal
coolness supposed to exist between them,
growing out of the decided stand taken by
Pierce in favor of the recent election of
Atherton, Burke being a prominent compet
itor for the Senate nomination. Neverthe
less, I am inclined to believe that the posi
tion will be tendered to him, because of the
difficulty which is to be encountered in find-
ing a gentleman willing to fill tke place,
who may be entirely qualified aud unob
jectionable. I wrote you not long since
that there was a possibility of the retention
of Mr. Commissioner Hodges. I came to
that conclusion only because I know that
the Cabinet, so far, are not aware of any
applications for the office to which they are
willing to respond favorably. One great
danger iu tilling the place, is the risk of
picking up some one who may be either
himself directly or indirectly interested iu
patent rights, or who may be approachable
in an improper manner. In these days it
is very hard to tell who is, or rather who is
not, interested in patent rights, some of
which are worlh $100,000 or more. Nor is
it possible to tell how much the community
are taxed in the aggregate, for their use—
certainly millions on millions of dollars an
nually. There is no other department of
the Government in which an incompetent
or slyly dishonest head can do so much
mischief to individuals and the public, as in
the public bureau. So Mr. Burke, having
heretofore discharged its duties so as to sat
isfy at least all the politicians of the party,
it is by no means wonderful that whether he
will or not, those of them who are anxious
to have the President avoid laying the
foundation for Galphinisms under his admin
istration, in any breach of the public service
are expressing great anxiety for his ap
pointment ; pleading that if he returns to
the positiou, there can be no danger of im
proper practices in the Bureau for four years
at least. The manner in which the admin-
istiation have delayed the acceptance of the
virtual resignation of Mr. Commissioner
Hodges though there are a dozen promi
nent men after the office, proves that they
fully appreciate the difficulty of filling it
properly.”
The proposals for re-openiDg the ‘Union
Hotel,’ are stoutly made by the Athens
Banner, and seconded by some other pa
pers in the State. The Banner is the chief
of the ‘Tugalo’ tribe, and was mainly instru
mental in raising the ‘rumpus’ last spring,
which caused a total evacuation of the es
tablishment, and it wiil be a hard matter
for that Journal to get the confidence of the
people sufficiently, to put that thing on foot
again. It done well enough while all of the
boarders were satisfied with one dish, but
when they became satiated, they begau to
think that they could not live on “one
idea,” as friend Chapman (now the able ed
itor of the Savannah Courier) used to call
it, and they betook themselves to casting
about for some additions, when it was found
that some prefered to have their share pep
pered with a little democracy, while others
chose to have theirs spiced with a little
whiggery, in which predicament they broke
up ‘Hotel Keeping,” and-bave been brows
ing on the common ever since; if they ever
come together again they had better agree
upon the diet beforehand.
The Small Pox still appears in Oglethorpe s
but one fresh case, however, had broken
out during the week, and two deaths from
those that had been under treatment.
The commercial expedition for South
America has been considerably encouraged
by the official announcement that the Pres
ident of Bolivia, by a decree in January
last, has thrown open all of the Bolivian
tributaries of the Amazon and LaPlata that
are navigable, to the commerce of the world,
and has offered a reward of $10,000 to the
master of the first steamer who shall reach
either one of these tributaries, either by the
Amazon or LaPlata. This is a new policy
of the South American States, and if encour
aged and continued, will draw them tender
ly within the embraces of the commercial
world, we hope they may be prospered and
bettered by the project.
The Copy-right
Treaty.—It ia said,
that the Copy-Right Treaty has been re
ported to the Senate, without any recom
mendation for or against. It fully under
stood that no attempt will be made to act
on the matter this session. As reported,
the treaty is said to be modified relative to.
reprints of books. In connection with this
subject, we see it stated that the whole
number of books published, in the United
States during the year 1852 was 1,258.
Of these 3,22 were reprints of Epglish, books
and translations, leaving the 9,66. as the
number of American, works..
Bellvilie Factory.—The Augusta,
Constitutionalist of Friday morning says ;
“We regret to learn that the.recent
heavy rains on Monday night, carried, away
the race of thi.s factory, situated;about seven
miles from this city, damaging, it to,the ex
tent of $1,000 to $1,500. We further learn
that a white lad employed in the factory,
was carried off by the ru*h. of water and
drowned.
Crime in New-York.—During the last
six months, the number of arrests by tbe
police of New York was 19,901 being
1448 more than the arrests during the cor
responding period of 1851. Offences against
the person have been more frequent than
those against property, so. that the assaults
and batteries, slung-shot and broken heads
figure largely. Mr. Matsell, chief of the po
lice attributes- this, in a great measure, to
the too free use of intoxicating Ijquors.
Jennt Lind.,—The New York. Courier
learns from the best authority that the fam
ily difficulties which were recently said to
have determined! Madam Goklsmidi to. re
turn to this country, do not exist in the
least degree ; and. that there is no present
prospect of our hearing her again from any
cause whatever.
Nathaniel Hawthorne.—This gentle
man who is somewhat known as an author,
has received the appointment of Consul to
Liverpool, one of the best places in regard
to salary within tbe gift of the government.
It is said to be worth. $15000, per year.—
He is said to be a college mate of the Pres
ident,-and resides at or near Concord.
Newspapers Mailed for Cuba.—The
Captain General of Cuba has notified the
American Consul at Havana that in obedi
ence to an order of the Spanish government
transmission will be given in the mails of
that Island to any newspaper unless it be
secured with a single band only in such
manner as to admit of its examination with
out tearing the band or cover; and that if
any letter be found therein, it will be taken
out and properly directed, and the postage
charged on it according to the place it comes
from. The Captain General further de
clares that under the name of newspapers
(periodicos) all kinds of printed matter will
be included. The order went into effect
the 1st instant.
Jpg' Sir Walter Raleigh was the first dis
coverer of the potato as a food for man.—
One day he ordered a lot of dry weeds to
be collected and burnt. Among these was
a lot of dry potatoes. After the bonfire^
these potatoes were picked up, thoroughly
v oasted. Sir Walter tasted and pronounced
them delicious. By this accident, was dis
covered a species of food which has saved
millions of the human race from starvation.
(ffjf It is stated that Mr. Phillip Clayton,
of Georgia, expects to retain his place as
Auditor, under tbe new administration.
Capt. Sutter, the early settler of
California, has leased his farm, and it is said,
will return to Switzerland with, his family.

ies and towns in the Republic. Met Geo*
A. Gardiner in the Port of Mazatlan in ’46,
at a restaurant, where both took their,
meals. Met him daily at the dinner table.,
Gardiner spoke of having just returned;
from a trip up the Gulf of California,,
flunks he said li.e had. taken up a small,
quantity ot goods and having sold* them to.
advantage. Also, spoke of having inten
tion oi going to some Port in South Amer--
ica to engage in the coasting trade, purclia..
ring, goods in. South Ameiica and. selling;
them in Meljican Ports.. Gardiner, said- he ;
had spoken of his project to merchants in,
M- zatlan.. Iljiuks he mentioned, the house-
ot Mott, Talbot A Co.,, and; that to carry-
on the "business profitably he required inoi'6-.
funds than he possessed.*
On one occasson, about the time the war
was breaking out, one of his friends said, to,
him “Gardiner are you not afraid, being
an American, of travelling about this re ;
public iu.these troublous times.” He an T .
swered.he was not afraid, as he did.uot-..
travel, as an. American but as a. Spaniard*;-
that his knowledge ot the Spanish language
was such that no person could, posibly know
from.his speech that, ha was- a., foreigner.
Witness remembered this distinctly, be-,
cause he had never before kuown sn Am-,
erican travelling in Mexico as a. Spaniard.;,
never knew a foreigner in Mexico La speak.
Spanish better than Gardiner. His. in ter-,
views with him at Mazatlan. were in May.
or J une ’46. Never met him again, until,
they met on board a British steamer at Ve
