CIIKONICDTA ND SE N TIN EL. AUG!J N T A . FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 26. Wc arc able, al last, to give our readers anoth er sheet, and if the health of the city continues to improve, we hope soon to resume, our regular publications. The following remarks, from the Constitutionalist of yesterday, give a correct ac count of the health of the city. In addition to the deaths mentioned, that of Simeon Walker was reported yesterday. Hsu.ru or Aiocsta, Ac. —The health of our city is improving fast. During the last week we have, had but lour deaths by lever to report, vir,; Mr. John Sloan, Mrs. Gunter, Mr. Trimble, (all residents,) anti one negro in the country; and the number of new cases are diminishing.— The weather has been cool and cloudy, and we had a light rain, hut its effects on the cu'lh are now scarcely perceptible. Yesterday it cleared of! and the sun came out as warm as ever and il we are not shortly visited with a good hard frost, ami such of our citizens as have escaped so tar con tinue their precautions, we are fearful our list may again increase. To such of our citizens as have absented themselves, we would continue our former advice, to keep away until wc have a frost, which cannot he long, us we arc in hopes of being able in our next to give the welcome intelligence that they can return in safety. To our country friends who arc in the habit of dealing in tins city, we will say they can bring in their produce without fear of danger. They will find our merchants prepared to receive thorn, as the stock of goods now on hand is good, and daily accessions arc being made. Cotton begins to come in pretty freely, and is selling from 11 to 11 $ for new, and in one or two instances sales have been made at lljj for choice Inis iir square hales. The market, howev er, may lie considered dull, as there is very little inducement to buy until things become more set tled. We learn from all quarters, that this year’s crop, as regards staple and quality, will he. us good as any over grown. The following is a list of deaths since our pa j<er of sth insl. to Wednesday lust at noon. Henry O'Neal, Resident. Miss Frances King, “ Charles Hart, “ Robert Lyon, “ Mrs. Mary Duncett, “ John Nelson, (son of Mitchell,) “ W. C. Crimes, Georgia. Moses Daucett, Resident. Joseph Collins, “ Mrs. Ann Burns, Ireland.

Gunther, Germany, j Adeline Martin, (b years old) Resident. j And six negroes. 4 Died out of the city. The Flection. We have had neither time, nor spirit, to talk of political matters, while Enduring under the visita tions of disease. It is loj true that Georgia has “bowed the knee to Dual,” and elected the parti sans of our present administration to rule over her. Il is idlo to mourn over the result. The people have a right to select their own law givers’ and if they choose to he governed by such a elan u s is now predominant at Washington, God help them! Wo can live under any system that our neighbors can: or (to borrow an illustration from a friend) as an old federalist once said to Gideon Granger, “I can live hr hell as long as you or Mr. Jefferson.” Ratification Is negatived by a large majority. So mote il be. Tme, this county gave a heavy vote in its favor; hut that was a mere matter of accident.— No interest was taken in the question, as our people, generally, had hut little choice between the obvious evils of the present system, and the gross injustice of that proposed. The tickets of both parties were printed “Ratification,” that each voter might prefix "No," if he thought pro per: and very few thought any thing about it.— Wc do hope the time is not far distant, when the good sense of the people will lead them to see the absolute necessity of reduction, on a plan not founded on sectional or party intcicsts.— Whenever such a plan can be submitted to the people, it will certainly prevail: and it xriU ho so submitted, when the people will send delegates to a Convention, elected to servo the Shite, and not a faction. The Boston Transcript says—“We learn from a friend in Boston, well acquainted with the Canton trade, that the American interest in the opium allair is $1,350,000.” Yaj.e Collkok.—The present number of stu dents in the different departments of Yale Col lege is about six huudred and fifty —a greater number than at any former period. Ohio Elections.—The Ohio Statesman slates that the Administration party has succeeded by an increased majority in that State. In the Se nate the parties stand: Democrats 32, Whigs 8; 6 districts to hear from. In the House 40 Demo crats and 13 Whigs; 20 to hear from. Medical College of Georgia. Wc arc requested to state, in answer to the enquiries addressed to this city on the subject! that the Lectures in this Institution will eom nißnce, as advertised, on the second Monday of November next. The Trustees arc now engag ed in filling the vacancy occasioned by the la mented death of Dr. Antony, and of which due notice will be published. The newspapers which have advertised the College Circular, and all others friendly to the Institution, are. respectfully requested to notice this announcement.— Constitutionalist. *" b, M,. 1,„, site the termination ot State street, and that building was a mass of flames before he , arrived a, the spot.

This building, to gether with two smaller ones, were successively blown up as they caught, and by this means, and I lie great fcxerliona of the Fire Companies, the misclliel was limited to this corner. Had the wind blown in any other direction, the destruc tion would probably have been greater. The number of buildings destroyed was altogether six, all of wood, and with the exception of the corner building, of inconsiderable value. This was one of the liest managed lircs wc have ever witnessed in Charleston. —Charleston Mcr. 33 d. Vermont Election. Til V. ItUESTIO.V SETTLED, —TllO following letter, published in the New York Courier and Enquirer, of the 13th, will show which party has the majority in the Vermont Legislature. Mo.vreKLiEii, Vt. Oct. 10. 1839, The Vermont legislature assembled this morn ing at 10 o’clock. The test of the House was the election of speaker : which is the first busi ness after the house is called to order. The members elect are 331 ; absent, 4. Whole number of votes for speaker, 337. The result of the ballot was for Carlos Coolidge, of Windsor, (Whig) 110 Paul Dillingham, (Tory) 109 V'iiig majority, 7 In the senate there are 18 wliigs to 13 lories. W'hig majority 0 The ascertained majority for Governor Jcni son, (whig) and other State officers, is 3351 ; a «nlli< iently large majority for all useful purposes. The falling off in our vote is to he attributed merely to the over confidence of the wliigs, and their consequent inactivity. We shall give the larger majority on this very account for the can didate of the Harrisburg convention—whoever he may be of the individuals now prominent be fore the public. The Bank or the United States and the Pahih Bankehh. —Tlio following paragraphia from the New York Express: Only one Bill of flic United Stales Bank lias been returned to this country, and that was a hill of ninety thousand francs—less than twenty thou sand dollars—which in the negotiations ul Paris slipped hack to this country, and was instantly paid by the hank here. All the oilier lulls have been accepted, and wc know that those on Franco will he met. Those on England arc accepted, and it is believed they will he paid. Since the acceptance, over two millions of dollars have been sent forward to meet them. It is now slated, and by authority, that Hotingucr &. Co. of Paris were hound by their agreement to honor these drafts. If tills he true, their want of good faith lias beep of incalculable injury to the institution and to llie public. Rumors arc again current that Mr. Woodbury is about to leave the Treasury Department. No occurrence would give greater satisfaction to the public. j Flection Returns For Governor, and for and against Ratification. 1839. 1837. r*- ] £ to fp <n to * ", S =r S; 6 ° ® o? 5* 5 5 W S S- X A O P I P COUNTIES. £L 2 “ !ir. cf> c- : o o “ - : : 3 p : : i • ; o’ : : : : a Appling, in 46 161 98 000 000 Baker, in 143 1(11 53 344 95 J Baldwin, 337 378 305 337 140 379 Bibb, 090 447 039 650 388 457 Bryan, 7 99 74 79 11 80 Bulloch, 313 7 383 11 33 343 < Burke, 114 583 300 595 379 351 Butts, 393 189 379 345 01 399 Camden, in 80 831 140 163 99 Campbell, in 315 401 330 000 000 Carroll, 530 300 470 333 319 300 Cass, 700 481 537 341 485 466 Chatham, 330 300 573 411 415 138 Chattooga, 238 108 000 000 181 139 Cherokee, 480 386 385 159 134 450 Clarke, 373 693 390 567 478 750 Cobb, 070 335 480 251 100 451 > Columbia, 363 375 375 418 187 400 Coweta, 705 536 699 690 723 381 Crawford, 479 255 510 311 35 055 < DcKalb, 053 400 794 564 386 289 Decatur, ni 30 254 317 176 307 Dade, ml 15 38 90 Dooly, 301 137 322 154 55 282 Early, 300 165 346 100 201 153 Effingham, 00 143 130 100 22 174 Elbert, 70 905 116 964 310 496 Emanuel, 153 114 304 125 000 000 Fayette, 474 286 533 334 114 546 Floyd, 333 188 303 192 361 188 Forsyth, 417 298 449 370 94 473 1 Franklin, 092 306 681 445 800 133 Glynn, 33 131 46 78 33 116 i Greene, 70 786 57 787 47 750 I Gwinnett, 019 <SOB 755 780 403 003 l Habersham, 594 384 081 333 579 114 i Hull, 497 403 537 452 596 230 ( Hancock, 301 376 373 446 394 283 Hams, 458 733 453 775 111 900 i Heard, 387 204 353 236 390 120 i Henry, 836 (549 863 730 355 738 i Houston, 055 449 647 598 430 553 Irwin, 257 14 335 30 105 134 I Jackson, 511 508 571 504 077 204 i Jasper, 507 440 503 019 443 433 Jefferson, 108 456’ 110 433 107 314 Jones, 503 447 481 483 365 405 ' Laurens, 5 390 10 409 10 378 Liberty, 87 139 78 149 21 184 Lee, in 18 130 183 000 000 i Lincoln, 195 244 230 305 43 339 ’ Lowndes, 234 349 287 301 309 334 i Lumpkin, 051 349 008 353 743 48 i Macon, 317 343 000 000 13 493 ( Madison, 309 379 326 204 65 488 Marion, 234 332 337 490 20 488 i Montgomery, 243 10 161 24 37 148 | Mclntosh,' 128 11!) 139 63 83 74 , Meriwether, 705 071 754 647 139 949 I Monroe, 803 671 704 783 544 758 I Morgan, 313 457 351 400 338 197 ] Murray, 642 87 240 117 309 84 I Muscogee, 847 836 726 900 74 837 I Newton, 467 850 425 793 412 702 i Oglethorpe, 107 497 136 013 185 341 Paulding, 231 316 165 96 71 257 ( Pike, 492 349 353 449 333 370 | Pulaski, m 161 379 214 53 357 I Putnam, 343 519 264 615 93 398 < Randolph, 509 490 430 311 116 648 1 Richmond, 373 449 448 826 655 103 ’ Striven, 134 211 184 231 33 338 1 Sumter, ml 3 370* 270 110 399 i Stewart, 793 751 017 574 83 903 t Tulbott, 855 787 853 815 57 807 t Taliaferro, 29 405 31 411 31 358 i Tattnall, 08 276 77 235 48 367 <1 Telfair, 139 194 104 203 141 135 i Thomas, 203 313 113 400 183 204 h Troup, 646 942 389 1132 193 1163 r Twiggs, 463 331 4-18 301 334 304 r Upson, 393 644 409 580 87 035 (i Walker, 471 237 405 375 174 39il l Walton, 633 442 778 454 361 401 t Warren, 317 429 514 591 130 566 r Washington, 594 583 544 580 133 883 Wilkes. 368 436 446 412 112 471; .

The Harrisburg “Keystone,” after announcing the suspension ofthe Philadelphia Banks, says— We understand, that in order to prevent the issuing of small notes by irresponsible corpora tions and individuals, which produced so much inconvenience and evil during the last suspension,, that the Attorney General, by the direction ofthe Governor, will forthwith issue a circular to all his Deputies throughout the commonwealth, direct ing immediate prosecution to be instituted, in ev ery ease where the laws suppressing the issue of small notes may be violated. We have since received a copy of Gov. Por ter’s letter to the Attorney General, which we an nex: Executive Chamber, Harrisburg, 7 October 10, 1839. $ To Ovid F, Johnson, Esq., Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Sir:—The suspension of specie payments by most, if not all of the banks of this common wealth seems likely to produce the same debase ment and derangement of the currency of the country, that have attended the same occurren ces on former occasions. The several acts of assembly prohibiting the issuing and circulation of notes, tickets, and other papers of the similitude of bank notes, under the denomination of live dollars, afford ample protec tion to the community against the evils arising from this illegal and spurious currency, if pro perly enforced. The only defect in these laws is, the omission to enjoin the duty of enforcing them, upon some particular officers of the com monwealth. To this omission it is probably owing, that these salutary laws have been practically disre garded, and treated as a mere dead letter. As the Executive of the commonwealth, bound to “take care that the laws be faithfully executed,” I feel it to be my duty in this emergency, to pre vent as far as possible the violation of these laws. 1 owe it. to the people of Pennsylvania, whose dearest interests arc involved, not to shrink from the performance of this duty. It is my desire, therefore, that you, as the proper officer, should immediately adopt such measures as you may deem best suited to the attainment of the object in view, to wit: the entire suppression of all notes, bills, checks, tickets, and other papers, of the si militude of bank notes, or promises to pay mo ney or other things under the denomination of five dollars, from being issued or circulated within this commonwealth, so tar as the laws in relation to the subject furnishes adequate powers for that purpose. It is proper I should state that, in directing this proceeding. I do not intend or believe that it will operate to shake the confidence of the public in the ultimate ability of most, if not all of the banks of this commonwealth to meet all their ob ligations and to redeem their faith plighted to the community; nor do I think it will throw any ob stacles in the way of their doing so; on the con trary. I firmly believe the expulsion of all small notes from circulation, will tend more directly than any other measure that can be now devised, to protect the public from frauds and imposition, and to enable the banks *o fulfil their respective engagements. The circumstances by which wo are surround ed will doubtless lead to the cultivation of a spirit of mutual forbearance and moderation on alt sides, as the course best adapted to restore a sound and healthy condition of affairs. Every attempt to aggravate existing embarrassments unnecessarily, should be discountenanced by all cool and reflect ing citizens. There is, beyond question, abundance of specie in the country to fill all the channels of domestic circulation, without distressing its private holders or the banks, and as the suspension of specie payments by these institutions, cuts off a great portion of the foreign drain upon it, it must readi ly find its way into the hands of the people. Respectfully yours, &c. DAVID R. PORTER. In compliance with the above proclamation, the Attorney General has issued a circular, ad dressed to all the Deputy Attorneys in the Stale, instructing them to institute proceedings against all persons or corporations whatever, who shall issue any substitute for money of a less denomi nation than five dollars. Flouh koh England. —The New York Post states that orders for flour received by the steamer Liverpool are to bo executed, notwithstanding the advance in price which has taken place in that market since the receipt of the news respect ing the unfavorable prospects of the harvest in England. Upwards of 12,000 barrels will bo shipped this week. Should the next accounts from England, of the corn crop, be equally unfa vorable as the last, the shipments of flour from this country must be very large. It will he seen by our Report (says the Balti more American 19th) of the Baltimore Mar kets, that the advance in the price of Flour, since this day week, is just one dollar per barrel, and the advance in Wheats from seventeen to twenty cents per bushel. These are excellent prices for the farmer, and should stimulate him to send his grain to market with all reasonable despatch. Line of Packets between Charleston an n Liverpool. —We perceive with gratifica tion and pride, from an advertisement in our columns, this morning, that a line of packet ships, owned in Charleston, to run monthly between Charleston and Liverpool, is to be set in opera tion on the Ist of February next—so that on the Ist of every month there will be a departure from Charleston for Liverpool, and on the 15th of every month a departure from Liverpool for Charleston. The ships to compose this line are the Chicora, and the Thomas Bennett, both built in this port, the Liverpool and the Medora.— May they have rich freights and be wafted by au spicious breezes across the broad Atlantic ! The merchants, who have the honor of originating this patriotic and public spiiiled enterprise, arc Messrs. Jonathan Lucas, James Robertson & Co, and Higham,Fife& Co.— Charleston Courier. Destruction ht Fire of the city of Quihiio, on the Spanish Main. —The Ja maica Royal Gazette of August 31st, contains the following: “By papers from the Spanish coast, intelli gence has been received of the almost total de struction by fire ofthe city of Quibdo, capital of the province of Choco. The event took place on the sth August. The ruin and desolation caus ed with the short space of three or four hours, were truly deplorable, thousands of comfortable and wealthy families having been in that time re duced to a state of utter destitution. Special Election in S. Carolina. —An extract of a letter, dated Barnwell Court Honse, October 10th, published in the Charleston Mer cury, says—“ I send you the result of the elec tion for a Member of Congress from our District. The vote is the smallest ever polled in the Dis trict:—Butler, 1142 ; Jamieson, 220; Caugh nmn, 44—total 1406.” Health of Mobile, —We have no improve ment to report in the health of our city ; although we do not yield, to a very pievalent impression that the malignancy of the epidemic increases. As we remarked in our Prices Current issued this morning, which will be found in another column, undoubtedly much sickness has been in duced by the fatigue and exposure to v hich all have been subjected, still it is found recovery very generally supervenes.

It will be seen also that we have deducted from the New Orleans statement, the quantity received at that port from Texas—Texas being a foreign country. Our estimate of the quantity taken for con sumption, does not include any Cotton manufac tured in the States south and west of Virginia, nor any in that State, except in the vicinity of Petersburg and Richmond.— Commercial hist. ' COMMERCIAL. j Latest dates from Liverpool, Sept. 20 I Latest dates from Havre Sept, 14 Charleston, Oct. 19. j Cotton —During the early part of this week our Upland market wore quite a gloomy appearance and rates began to recede, caused in a great meas ure by late unfavorable advices from England j subsequently however, prices recovered, more’ confidence was perceptible in operations, and the market closed at an average of last weeks quota., j tions. I It must be difficult to determine, how long our staples can sustain their present prices, under the severe pressure in money matters which now par alizes and perplexes every department of trade, I and causing too that general distrust and appre hension, which are sure to succeed.

The market, since our last report has been extremely dull, and the few sales made have been at a reduction of * a * ct on the prices current last week —this reduction is mainly attributable to the suspension of specie payment by some of the Northern Banks, and the difficulty of negociating by buyers. Liverpool advices per steamer Liver pool to the 20th ult., have been received, since which we have heard of but few transactions.— Our supplies continue small, and will probably continue so until we have a permanent rise in the river.
