Mail Carrier Arrested.
We learn from J. D. Frierson, Esq., the
indefatigable Post Office Agent, that on the sec

tion of the money taken by him. Smith has
been committed to jail in Milledgeville.
We learn that the Hon. Herschel V. Johnson
has consented to deliver the medals to the So
phomore Prize Orators at the approaching Com

Weather and Crops.
Florida Crops. —The Savannah Georgian
says: We are informed by a gentleman who
reached here yesterday from Ocala, that the
prospect of the growing crops of cotton and
corn in Marion county, and the adjoining re
gion. is remarkably fine.
On the contrary, a letter received by the last
mail from Columbia county, in the same State,
says: 11 We have had some two or three good
rains since this month came in, but if corn plant
ed in June will not do, hereabouts, there are but
few of us who will make our bread. I learn
that the crops in a portion ot Madison county
were used up by a hail storm on Wednesday of
last week. The stones were too large for me
to talk about, but it is said the cotton and corn
were shivered.”
The Yazoo (Miss.) Democrat, of Wednesday
last, says:
The weather continues dry. For several miles
around the city there has not been rain enough
for nearly two months to completely lay the
dust. In some portions of this and Holmes
county there has been an abundance of rain.
We have heard ol some plantations on one por
tion of which plenty of rain .has fallen, while on
the other there has been none. The corn crop
must be short; several valley planters have told
us that they will not make ten bushels to the
acre. Cotton continues backward.
The St. Louis Republican, of the 20th ult.,
says:
We learn that the fly has made its appear
ance in the wheat in several places in this coun
ty, especially in St. Ferdinand’s township. A
gertleman living there yesterday informed us
that a field belonging to him, containing about
twenty ae r es, was entirely destroyed and not
worth the cutting.
There was not a boat arrived from any of the
upper rivers during yesrerdav hut wbat encoun
tered heavy rains during ’heir downward trips.
The Jeanie Deans and Golden Era, in *rom
Keokuk and Galena, report, heavy lains at Keo
kuk. Hannibal, and, in tact, all along the river
from Keokuk down. The wind blew very se
vere tor several hours, but no damage was done
that we could hear of.
The Memphis Whig, of Tuesday last, says :
A short trip into the co-ntry gave us an op
portunity of viewing the crops and prospects.
Since the rains of last Thursday, w’hich were
pretty general, the corn and cotton crops have
improved much and look to be in a healthy, thri
ving condition The wheat and oat crops are
very indifferent and will not prove much more
than hall a crop.
in several neighborhoods in this and Fayette
county, we heard of numerous cotton blooms
having made their appearance during the past
week ; also, from Marshall county, Miss., we
had the same report. With seasonable weather
during July and August, the planters may yet
make excellent crops of both corn and cotton.
The Florence (Ala.) Gazette, of the 25th ult.,
saiys:
;We were shown the other day a full grown
cotton bloom.grown on the plantation of Thomas
J. Foster, in Lawrence county. This is the first
we have heard of during the season.
We learn from the Vicksburg Whig that a glo
riously refreshing rain fell at that place on Wed
nesday night last.
Copious Rains.—We have been blessed in
this section with fine rains, for the last two or
three days. The sky is now (Wednesday) very
cloudy, and we have a promise of more. If the
seasons are good, we will yet make good crops,
as the corn was not beyond redemption, as it is
in some portions of the State. The accounts
from the lower counties are gloomy in the ex
treme, arid many planters will not make enough
for seed.— Athens Banner , lih inst.
Rain! Rain !—At last, after a drought that
threatened annihilation to the entire crops of the
country, we are lavored with considerable rains.
The rains commenced on Saturday last, and have
continued from day to day, in more or less abun
dance, up to the time of our going to press. We
still hear of some localities, however, that have
received no rain, but it is hoped they will not
long be without it. On the whole, we think
our farmers may congratulate themselves on the
prospect for a half crop, where but lately seri
ous apprehensions were of a total
failure.— Griffin Union. Ith inst.
Early Cotton.— We have received a full
blown boll of Cotton, picked from the planta
tation of Mr. W. S. Lawson, of Meriwether
county. This, we think, is the earliest of the
season—our cotemporaries not having mention
ed any thing further advanced than a half-grown
boll.— lb.
Counterfeits Again. — We learn from the
Dabionega Signal of the 2d inst, that a counter
feit fifty dollar bill of the Marine & Fire Insu
rance Bank, payable at Savannah, was lately
Eassed upon a farmer in that neighborhood. The
ill is said to have been well executed, but
something smaller in size than the genuine. It
was numbered 1352—higher than any bills of
that denomination put in circulation by the
Bank.— lb.
Tat Weather.— We have had indications
of touodant showers, in this immediate vicini
ty. for the last four or five days, but have
Lak to rest contented with only a few mod
ulate sprinklings of rain. In nearly every
dwection, six. or eight miles from the city,
there have been a number of refreshing rains.
VVn»b the rains around us have been in plain
»igbt we have hardly had enough in the imme
diate neighborhood of the city to lay the dust.—
JiiutUa btielttgmw, Ith irut,
Rain ! Rain !—After an unusually protracted
and exceedingly hurtful and injurious drought,
this region of the State was, on the “ glorious
Fourth” blessed with a glorious rain, and at the
time we write (Tuesday morning) there is a fine
prospect for more. Whether it is in time to save
corn we do not know, but presume it will do
great good—although, before the rain, the pros
pect for making none at all on uplands was very
nattering.— Athens Herald , Ith inst.
Rain.—Within the last week fine and copious
showers have fallen in this neighborhood, and
rain has been generally had, we believe, in this
section of the State. It has been less abundant
immediately at Marietta than in almost any
other part of the country. The crops in this
county, though injured by the drought will not
be near so short as was anticipated.— Marietta
Advocate , Ith inst.
Rain.—Our city and surrounding country
were again refreshed by a fine rain yesterday,
p. M. In the midst of the warm weather we
are now having, these showers are especially
conducive to personal comfort, and the means of
great good to the growing crops.— Savannah.

Democratic Convention in Walton County.
In pursuance of previous notice, a large and
enthusiastic meeting of the Democratic party of
Walton county convened at the Court House in
Monroe, on the sth inst., for the purpose of nom
inating a Senator and two Representatives to be
run for the next Legislature.
On motion of Mr. Allen W. Brown, for tbe
purpose of organizing the Convention, Lewis S.
Moon and Milner Echols, Esqrs., were called to
the Chair, and Seaborne C. Burson was requested
to act as Secretary.
The object of the meeting having been briefly
explained by the Chair, on motion of Jesse H,
Arnold, a call of the Militia Districts was made,
wheieupon the Delegations from each District
enrolled their names, and took their seats.
On motion ot Jesse Mitchell, the Delegates
in this Convention from Districts not fully rep
resented, were authorized to cast the full vote to
which such Districts were entitled.
On motion of Jesse H. Arnold, it was agreed
that the majority of all the votes cast by the
Convention shall be requisite for the nomination
of candidates.
On motion the Delegates then retired, and
after consultation, returned and reported to the
meeting through their Secretary, John P. Ed
wards, the name of Warren J. Hill, for Senator;
and for Representatives, Leonard B. Hayes, and
Harrison L. Williams.
On motion of Col. Allen B. Whitehead, the
nominations were made unanimous,and by accla
mation.
The nominees for Representatives, Leonard B.
Hayes, and Harrison L. Williams were then
called upon, who came forward and addressed
the meeting with some very appropriate re
marks, tendering their thanks to the Democracy
of Walton for the honor conferred upon them.
Hon. Warren J. Hill, the nominee for Senator,
being absent, on motion of Col. Allen B. White
head, a committee of three was appointed by
the Chair to iniorm him of his nomination, and
solicit his acceptance. The committe appointed
were as follows, viz: A. B. Whitehead, J. H.
Arnold, and Jesse Mitchell.
During the absence of the Delegates, Col. Lu
cillous H. Briscoe was enthusiastically called
upon, w’ho came forward amid the loud plaudit g
of the Assembly, and delivered a lengthy and
eloquent address, which was duly appreciated by
the meeting.
On motion of Col. A. B. Whitehead, it was
ordered, That the proceedings of this meeting
be published in the Constitutionalist & Repub
lic, of Augusta, Ga., and the Southern Banners
of Athens.
On motion of John P. Edwards, the meeting
then adjourned, sine die.

“ Another Democratic Ally.— We had the
pleasure yesterday of welcoming to the support
of Mr. Jenkins the Marietta Union, the Editor
of which has always been a consistent Democrat,
and to-day we have the gratification of extend
ing to the Rome Courier the same courtesy,
which vve do with unfeigned cordiality. Like
the Editor of the Union, he of the Courier, has
always been an ardent, devoted Democrat, and
like him be prefers his country to party.
Such accessions, in connec i n with many
other prominent and influential Democrats
throughout the State cannot fail to exercise a
powerful and controlling influence upon the pub
lic mind generally, and contribute largely to the
triumphant success of Mr. Jenkins. We like
the hearty good will with which it is very ap
parent the Courier enlists in the contest.”
We copy the above paragraph from the Chron
icle & Sentinel of the 3d inst.
The editor of that p;per is evidently endeav
oring to create a wrong impression upon the
public mind. It was due to candor and truth for
him to have stated that the Rome Courier and
Marietta Union have always been Whig jour
nals. They were established by Whies, com
menced with Whig editors, and the patrons of
both papers are Whigs. Under these circum
stances, w’e cannot see how he can torture their
support of Mr. Jenkins into a whig triumph.
Os the original political doctiines of the present
editors of the Courier and Union, we know
nothing, but the papers were strongly whig be
fore the spliting tip of the two parties. We re
peat what we have before stated, that every
Democratic paper in the State has Judge John
son’s name hoisted at its mast-head. —Athens
Banner.
The Philadelphia papers have been furnished
by Dr. Sturgeon, U. S. Treasurer at the mint,
with a statement of the operations of the mint
for the month of June. By it we learn that the
deposits of California gold for the month are of
the value of $4,473,000. From all other sources
.$60,000. Silver bullion of the value of $678,-
000, was deposited. Os the gold coinage which
exceeded four and three quarter millions, more
than one-half of it was in bars, and of gold dol
lars and quarter eagles only about one million.
The amount of silver coined was $650,000, of
which amount about one half was in half dol
lars- During the month there were coined 366,-
733 copper cents of the value of $3,667 33.
An Excellent Appointment -We are pleased
to learn (says the Savannah News) from the
Milledgeville Union, that Gov. Cobb has ap
pointed Hon. E. Starnes, of Richmond, Judge ot
the Supreme Court of Georgia, in the place of
Judge Warner, resigned. No gentleman in the
State is better qualified to supply the loss which
the Judiciary has sustained, in the retirement of
Judge Warner.
Col. Seymour, it is said, is now the sole own
er of the New-Orleans Bulletin, having pur
chased W. L. Hodge’s half for $22,000. S. F.
Wilson has purchased Mr. Bullitt’s quarter of
the New-Orleans Picayune.
Committed to Jail.— An individual, calling
himself Joel Sweeny, was yesterday committed
to our county Jail, on a charge of horse stealing.
It appears that about a week since a horse was
stolen from Mr. P. A. Sapp, of Alexandria, Burke
county, who immediately upon missing the an
imal, sent parties in pursuit of the thief, and ad
vertised him in the Morning News. He was
traced on Sunday within a few miles
from this city where he had remained the night
before, but had left early in the morning for the
direction of the Ogeechee river. Upon the fact
of the horse having been stolen, being made
known, other persons joined those already in
pursuit, and, on Monday, succeeded in capturing
Sweeny, having the horse in his possession

Georgia Democratic State Convention—H. V.
Jonnson the Nominee for Governor.
The democracy of the ‘‘ Empire State” of the
South, now, we believe, firmly re-united, have
spoken. They have held their Convention and
made their nominations.
Our last Georgia exchanges contain the full
proceedings of the State Convention which as
sembled in Milledgeville on the 15th inst. It was
the largest, and irom all accounts, one ot the most
harmonious and enthusiastic assemblages of the
kind ever held in the State. Hon. Thos. J. Bur
ney Morgan was chosen President, and six Vice
Presidents appointed. The Convention adopted
unanimously the resolutions of the National
Democratic Convention as embodying the creed
and sentiments of the Democracy of Georgia,
following, in this respect, the example of our
own State Convention.
The Hon. Herchel V. Johnson of Milledevilie,
having received on the fifth ballot two-thirds ot
all the votes cast, was declared the choice of the
Democratic party for Governor of Georgia, and
on motion the nomination was made unanimous
and by acclamation.
Upon n 0 other man in the State coulS the
mantle of the democracy have been more worth
ily placed. We have known Judge Johnson
long and we know 1 him well. Though highly
distinguished, he his comparatively a young man,
a graduate of Franklin College in his Native
State. He was the revered friend and inmate
of our family circle in his College days.
Judge Johnson filled by executive appoint
ment the uuexpired term of Judge Colquitt in
the Senate of the United States,with great credit
and distinction, and is now on the bench as Cir
cuit Judge He is universally esteemed as the
ripe scholar, the exemplary Christian and the
able and distinguished advocate of democratic
principles. That he will be elected by a trium
phant majority we cannot entertain a doubt.
The Georgia papers that have come to hand
speak in the most glowing terms of the enthusi
astic zeal and harmony manifested in the Con
vention.
Whig Ratification Meeting. —On Tues

Every pr ss that supported Gov. Towns, now

Distressing Casualty. —On Saturday even
ing last, Mr. Thomas Thrower, a highly respect
ed citizen of this county, accompanied three
small boys on a fishing excursion, one of them
being his son, another his grand son, and the
other a son of Robert Walker, Esq. When
down on the creek some distance from home, a
cloud arose, and to shelter from the rain, the lit
tle group betook themselves to the hollow’ of a
large popular tree, and while thus screening
themselves from the watery element, a flash of
lightning struck the trees, and took effect, more
or less, upon all of them. Mr. Thrower, himself,
received the most severe injury. He lay ap
parently without breathing for some time, but
Mr. Benson, his son-in-law, who was not far off
at the time, ran to his relief, and by the time
ly application of cold water succeeded in revi
ving him, and it is hoped now that he will re
cover. One of the little boys was thrown by
the force of the shock, the distance of 10 or 12
feet from the tree, and was considerably hurt.—
The other two escaped with no other injury
than resulted from being stunned.— Griffin Union ,

Later from New Mexico.
The Santa Fe mails of the Ist of June reach
ed Independence, Mo., on the 21st. The St.
Louis Intelligencer of the 24th says :
Among the passengers were Mr. Greiner, late
Secretary of the Territory, and Mr. Dalton, a
merchant of Santa Fe. The trip was, we un
derstand, a very pleasant one. On toe Arkan
sas. near Fort Atkinson, a large number of In
dians—Camanches, Kiowas, Cheyenness and
Arrapahoes—were collected, waiting lor the ar
rival of Mr. Fitzpatrick, the Indian Agent, who
was expected with presents for distribution
amnngthem.
The news from New Mexico is interesting.
Early in May a party of Navajoes came
down on a ranche on the west side of the Del
Norte, opposite La Canarda. and killed a Mexi
can, who was herding animals, took captive
five children, and ran off a quantity of stock.
The Indians concerned in the foray w T eie
known to belong to Black Eagle’s band, which
inhabits tbe Canon de Chelle. demand
being made, the prisoners and stol* n animals
were*restored. But the chief said he could not
surrender the murderers, because they were of
too much consequence in the tribe to be dealt
with in that way. Black Eagle was then in
formed that the murderers must be given up be
fore the full moon, (about the 20th of June,) or
force would be used to compel the surrender.
Thus matters stood at Jast date. Col. Sumner
was preparing to march into the Navajo country
in three divisions, and would pursue an ener
getic course. The Navajoes are said to be very
well off. They have an abundance of stock,
and one field well planted in corn, containing
fifteen square miles. About the time of these
occurrences six thousand sheep were driven off
by the Navajoes at one time from the Rio Aba
j°.
The Navajes, up to the time of these outrages,
had been quiet for nearly two years. Further
mischief, the renewal of the old depredations and
a troublesome war may be apprehended.
There was less excitement upon the Mesilla
valley question. Gov. Tiias, of Chihuahua, ear
ly in May, was at El Paso, with eight hundred
men and artillery. He did not, however, occu
py the disputed territory. As we understand, a
letter was brought by him from our Minister in
Mexico, Mr. Conkling, to Gov. Lane, in which
Mr. Conkling advised the Governor to “recede
from his position as gracefully as possible.’’
Gov. Lane replied to this letter, and probably
showed pretty good reasons for the course he
had taken. Armed with his letter, Gov. Trias
was enabled to create an impression that Gov.
Lane’s course would not be sustained by our
Government, especially as Col. Sumner had re
fused to act. Accordingly he became quite gra
cious and amiable towards the Americans. The
feelings of the Pasenos cooled down. The hospi
talities of El Paso were tendered to Col. Miles
and the garrison at Fort Fillmore. The Colonel
and some of his officers accepted them, and, so
far as these festivities could accomplish it, the
hatchet was buried amidst the hilarities of a fan
dango, which lasted fourteen hours.
As regards the matter of occupation of the
Merilla Territory, we may add that although
Trias was not in the Territory, there has been,
if we are not misinformed, a small Mexican
force there for some time, and Americans claim
ing to reside there as citizens of the United
States, have been ordered out.
Gov. Lane has been nominated for Congress
by the Mexicans of the Rio Abajo. Mr. Weight
man has not been nominated, but was under
stood to be a candidate. It w r as possible that a
Mexican might be nominated. Should there be
no such nomination, it w T as believed that Gov.
Lane would be elected.
Business in the Territory continued dull.
The St. Louis Republican, the editor of which
journal had an interview with Major Greiner,
who it appears has been for three or four years
in New Mexico as Indian Agent and Secretary
of the Territory, gives the following version of
the news about the Mesilla affair and about
Gov. Lane’s future movements:
Major G. reports every thing quiet so far as
the Mesilla question is concerned. Gov. Trias,
of Chihuahua, did march a military force to the
disputed territory, as has been reported, but this
entire force was afterwards withdrawn and the
country remains in precisely the same condition
that it did before Gov. Lane’s proclamation was
issued. It was understood that Judge Conklin,
the American Minister at Mexico,had addressed
Gov. Lane an official note disapproving of his
course, to which the Governor sent a somewhat
tart answer; and this course of the American
Minister served to mollify Gov. Trias’s temper
At all events, interchanges of civilities took
place between him and the officer in command
of Fort Fillmore—the invitation having been
first extended by tt.e Mexican officer.
Gov. Lane was waiting the arrival of his suc
cessor, but it was not certain that he would then
leave New Mexico The probability is that he
will be returned as a Delegate to Congress from
New Mexico at the election which takes place
next tall.
We may remark here that our accounts from
El Paso, via Sari Antonio, agree with these in
the statement that Trias was on friendly terms
with our officers and people.
[Correspondence of the Charleston Courier .]
Later from Havana.
Havana, June 29
Since the arr val of the steamers on the 18th
instant, bringing the debates made in the Brit
ish Parliament in relation to the trade carried
on between this Island and Africa in slaves,
there has been a very considerable show of ac
tivity on the part of Government, in order to
merit the defence in its favor, made by Lord
Clarendon in his reply to the Fail of Carlisle,
or to appease the wrath of the British Lion.
It is quite certain that this year very large
numbers of Africans have been introduced, and
that little has been done by the authorities to
put a stop to the business until the late missives
came from England.
In my last, I informed you of the arrest of the
famous Zulueta; since then Mr. Forcade, a
Frenchman, very rich, who has for a long time,
engaged in the traffic, has met the same treat
ment, and quite a host of deputy Governors and
petty officers have been put into quod, and ma
ny. in fact the greater part, might with justice
be kept in prison for other crimes than the slave
introduction. The Cuban planters are desirous
that the trade should be put down, but the bad
characters engaged in it, are too powerful with
their gold, and their female protector in Spain,
to be interrupted in their profitable business.
I have little reliance in the present effort to
put an end to the trade, gold being too powerful.
However, there will be some sacrifice to appease
the British, and it is probable that the rich Zu
lueta and others will have to pay the piper, and
although the Lady Suffolk is no where to be
found, still numbers of government officers are
witnesses against him, and he was seen on the
spot distributing the negroes. Some officers re
sisted his offers, until he told them that he had
made it all right with the Captain-General; after
which, they took their part too. Whether Mr.
Zuelueta was correct in his assertions or not, we
must leave to time to decide, in the meantime,
from precedents, we may suppose that he spoke
the truth,
I know that neither you nor your sober read
ers desire opinions from me, or anything like
filibuster fabrications, still you must put up with
my news, for I have none better to give you,
and if little of my information is favorable to
Spain that is not my fault, but her’s. There is
one thing certain, that I have no time to concoct
fibs, or arrange twaddle, my system being to
make notes of whatever probability I hear, and
from these notes«to dash off my letter.
The balance of my news is that the Spanish
fleet is out cruising in force, that 190 fresh troops
have arrived from Barcelona, and 385 Chinese
from China.
lam overjoyed to see the news I gave you
about a mutiny in one of our regiments confirm
ed by advices you have received from Spain. It
is a satisfaction, as we poor devils, your corres
pondents, are made out to be such liars. By
whom ? By persons who cannot tell who we
are.
Two lads and three young ladies have been
arrested at San Juan de los Remedios—the cause
of the arrests being some verses found in the
hands of a little girl. The particulars I have
not been able to obtain ; but we may suppose
that the said verses were in praise of Cnba,
with some remote allusion to oppression.
The weather is very wet, the amusements,
Bull fights and a theatrical performance, com
posed of singing and recitation, in which indeli
icate language and jests are profuse.
The yellow fever takes off a few, and I am
told that the cholera is still raging in the country.

Dividends. —We are compelled to write an
other dividend article. The Bank of Hamburg,
“ which sits on the Bank of the Savannah,” most
humorously complains that she was (inadver
tently) omitted in our late list of semi-annual
dividend®, great and small, Brobidignagian and
Lilliputian. This Bank claims, too, a prominent
“ place in the picture.” She insists that, in her
quiet and unobtrusive way, she “ led off” in
July, ’sl and January ’52, with dividends at
the rate 15 per cent, per annum ; and in July,
’52, at the rate of 16 percent. —which was re
peated for January and July of the present year
—the last having been declared on the 7th ul
timo; and, like the “Razor Strop man,” she
thinks she has, in store, for the future, “a few
more left of the same sort.” This is not the
first snap at us, on the part of the Banks , for our
short-comings; the old Tontine Bank had a
snap at us—so had the S. W. R. Road Bank;
and so would have had the Bank of Camden,
had she not been too far oft' to bite, or even
show her teeth, before we put her rectus in curia.
We should not be surprised, if the Oyster Bank
were to have a snap at us next; but, to confess
the truth, we would much rather have a snap at
it. So wake up old Truesdell, thou great Oys
terman, and great Oyster-Master of Sullivan’s
Island.— Ch. Courier.
We received a letter yesterday, dated New
leans, the 3d inst., from Mr. David Riker, of the
firm of Hacker & Ricker of this city, from which
we are gratified to learn that they have made a
contract with the Board of Directors of the
Vew-Orleans. Opelousas and Great Western
Railroad Company, to supply all the cast iron
work that Railroad may require, as also all the
cars.both passenger and freight of all kinds;
and that in consequence thereof, they intend
erecting a branch establishment of their business
at Algiers, opposite New Orleans. "
Mr. Riker, also, informs us that this railroad
will be one of the best in the West, the grades
in 200 miles not being five fee*-. It passes
through, likewise, one of the most productive
portions of Louisiana, and one which might well
be called the garden of the West. The iron has
already been laid on fifteen miles of the track,
and in a few weeks it is expected that the road
will be ready to receive the rails at the rate of
seven miles per month.
We have received from Mr. Riker a list of
the Stockholders, and a report of'he committee
on construction to the Board of Directors, from
which we learn tha* - every thing progresses most
satisfactorily — Charleston Courier , Bth inst.
A Lesson for Children—Grown Up.—
When you are away from yonr father’s house,
and doing business for yourself, always be hon
est. Do nothing which you are ashamed ot, and
; n all your transactions be open and trank. If
you should become a public officer and work for
the people, be content with your salary, and
never hanker after the trimmings. Attend to
your proper business and do not strive to make
money out of the public by d#ing its work or
taking its contracts through a third person. If
you hire men for twelve shillings per day, pay
them every cent, and never deduct a quarter,
from each da as a bonus for yourself on account
of giving the work. The Scriptures teach us
that “ the laborer is worthy of his hire.” Money
ill-gained soon goes. If von have public money
belonging to the people, pay it to them, for it is
wrong to be discounting notes unless from your
ow n tunds. Do what is right and you can keep
out ot the newspapers. Il you electioneer with
your office, don’t do it by giving contractors
more money for a job than it is worth, nor sign
their bills unless they are in all particulars cor
rect. If you do wrong, acknowledge it, and
don’t blame people for speaking of it. Indeed
you should do just what the law requires, and no
more.— Albany Knick.
More Gold. —We learn from the Dahlonega
Signal of the 2d inst., that a remarkably rich
goldmine (vein) has recently'been discovered
in the 9th District of Union county. The Sig
nal says :
“ Great excitement prevails, and not without
grounds, for we have it from a reliable source
that the gold can be distinctly seen in the quartz
at a distance of 15 to 20 steps.”
PRESENTMENTS.
Richmond County Superior Court, June Term,
1853—Second Week.
Under the impression that all the laws in re.
lation to free persons of color are not as strictly
enforced as the public requires, the Jury
suggest that the proper authorities enforce the
same, especially in reference to the binding out
of these without guardians.
The Jury request our Senator and Represent
atives in the next Legislature to urge the passage
of a law authorizing the proper authorities in the
city and county to hire out for such time as in
their discretion may be deemed proper, all free
persons of color convicted of drunkenness or
vagrancy.
In reference to the Roads and Bridges, from
the best information at their command, the Jury
are induced to believe that they generally are in
good condition.
There is however, a single exception as to
the Roads in the vicinity of this city, and as the
contractor is now engaged in that neighborhood,
they believe that it will he placed in good re
pair at an early day.
We suggest to the City Council the propriety
of requiring city officers to confine runaway ne
groes or idlers, taken up by them, belonging to
persons in the city, in the Guard House, instead
of Jail.
In taking leave of His Honor Judge Starnes,
who is about to retire from the Bench of the Su
perior Court, the Jury avail themselves of the
opportunity to express their approbation of his
administration generally, and his urbanity to
them during the present term.
To the Solicitor General, John T. Shewmake,
we would also extend our acknowledgements,
for his promptness and courtesy in the discharge
ot his duties.

The market at the ope r ing of the present
week, wore a decidedly improved appearance, not
that thoro was any improvement in tho demand,
but holders manifested very little anxiety to soli,
and this indifforence on their part to moot buyers
was soon followed by a decided improvement in
prices, wh'ch ultimately resulted in establishing an
improvement on former rates, and tho market
closed yesterday with the above classifications, val
ued at 10| a 11c.
We have no quotations to offer for the other
grades. The receipts of the week reach 1,640
bales, aud the sales in the same time may be esti

transactions to report in Sea Islands.
Rice. —We have nothing of special interest to
communicate in reference to the Rice market. The
transactions, as was tho case the previous week,
show a languid and drooping market. The receipts,
which comprise somo 1,057 tierces, have nearly
all changed hands at extremes ranging from 3| a
$4 per hundred, as in quality ; the bulk of tho
sales, however, were taken within the range of 3]
a 3§. We subjoin the so lowing quotations, which
will give a correct value of tho article at the close
of business, viz :—Ordinary +o Fair 3$ a 3J: Good
to Prime 3f a 3J; and Choice —.

week, and tho few tiansacMons made have heen at

100 bbls. and kegs West rn, at prices ranging from
10$*o lie.

limited, has been supplied at prices ranging from

Domestic Liquors. —The market for all descrip

we have not heard of a single transaction. New

Havana, June 29.—Our market continues dull.
Suear is very abundant in t wn and shipping is still
scarce. Prices are almost nominal. Occasionally
a lot is to he purchased at those quoted, but a pur
chaser cannot find what he desires at the figures
given. It is the general opinion that sales will not
be made at the present rates, and that only the
abundance of produce and want of tonnage ca''se
the present stagnation. The principal part of tho
stock is in second hands, the amount throughout
tho Antilles produced this year deficient, and the
stock in Europe less than usual, creates an im
pression in favor of holders. Prices to-day are 5$
aßsto6 ja 9$ for assorted; 7| a9s for White; 6 a
71 for Yellow ; 5$ ass for Brown ;41 a 51 for Cu
curuchos, and 4 ass rials per arrobe for Museo

valuable preparation. It is a tonic medic no, giy.
