Ahams, Ai-kueii I. Huntington. From our Correspondent. Mi li.kdokvillb, Dec. 33, 1839. The Legislature adjourned without a day on yesterday, about, hah past 2 o clock, A. M. Thousands in Georgia respond to the heartfelt wish, that such another may never assemble. To those who hare observed even carelessly and cursorily the whole tenor ot their course, it is superfluous to reiterate the remark ot a distin guished Union member on the last day ol the that it were better for the. State of Geor gin, jf the enti.e proceedings ol ihe winter wore consigned to the flames; —as an evidence that many concur in this opinion, you have only to notice the form of expression employed by al most all who speak upon this subject, for they re joice not at what the Legislature have accom plished, but Inal they neglected to perpetrate so much which they had purposed. “The Maine Bill” presents the most interesting subject that engaged the attention ol the General Asssemhly on their last day. I tell Messrs. Editors, t .at ■ old Richmond was in the field in the person of j her noblest sons, when listening to the soul-thrill ing eloquence of her Jenkins, her Miller and her Crawford. At the hour of midnight both cham bers of the Capilol, echoed their sublime semi meats of the purest patriotism, mingled with ap propriate and merited denunciations, against the lawless ki dnnppcrs and their base abolitionist advocates ol the Stale ol .Maine. 1 hey were prepared to repel those reckless ag gressions upon our dearest rights, and to leaih the world dial Georgia would maintain them. Other gentlemen participated in ibis unusually interesting debate. Messrs. Jones ol Lee, Lewis of Muscogee, Harris of Warren, and others in the Senate advocated the passage of the bill opposed by Messrs. Gordon ft. al. The defeat ot the measure in the Senate, is attributed almost by common consent, to Mr. Gordon ol Chatham.— He labored hard to convert this Slate measure into one of a party complexion, and alas, for the honornf our beloved and injured State, he was hut too successful. We noticed with gratified feelings, bowercr, that Messrs. Lewis, Holmes of Baker and Crane, disdained the trammels, and stood up for lilfemaintenance of our rights, our properly, and all that is dear to us as a people. Mr. Stephens, in the House, was also un usually happy iti his ellbrts. Messrs. Chappell, Glascock, Hunter, and others, joined in the dis- j elusion. The bill was laid on the table of the j Senate by a majority of four— it being with the | honorable exceptions mentioned, strictly a party ; vote. But I fear that this absoibing theme is en- j grossing too much of my sited, and must close 1 this hasty notice of in The hill proposing to ; withdraw from our Slate University, was the last j one acted upon in Senate. Gentlemen seemed to | have shunned this question many wicks, but. at 1 length it must be met and acted upon. F> rtu- | nalrly for the prosperity ol our College, and the . cause ot literature in Georgia, the good sense of I the Senate for once prevailed, and it was laid , upon the table. The Bill for the pardon of John R. Bays passed the House by a majority of four. His . neck has indeed been jeopardized—convicted of murder, bo was released only by a majority of two in one branch, and Jour in the other. Some resolutions, in relation to a change of laws and Constitution of the United States, upon the arrest and delivery of fugitives from justice, passed from one Stale to another, were concurred in, hut I fear that they are probably about as effectual as our thousand protests, peti tions. resolves, and remonstrances that have ema nated from the South. As the list of Acts will show at large al! the Bills that have passed, 1 will leave you to the very reasonable inference, that the residue, which have from time to time been noticed, were lost. M ith the sincere wish, prompted with emo tions ol State pride, and a just regard for our e.iaractci, I shall conclude my pleasant engage ment of corresponding with you, by the expres sion of the hope, that another year may brightly smile upon your editorial labors, and that the in creased diffusion of intelligence may secure us against the re-election for many long years, of precisely another political mass. For the Chronicle f,- Sentinel. Messrs. Editors: —Your correspondent, ‘‘ Yellow Fever,” in Ins communication of the 14th hist., has committed a great blunder in as suming that sulphuretted hydrogen is the pecu liar product of vegetable and animal decomposi tion, which produces the various forms of levers —particularly that form which prevailed as an epidemic, in our city, during the past summer.— Mai aria is that peculiar prodi/ct. L has no re semblance whatever to sulphuretted hydrogen, neither in odor or its effects upon the human sys tem. 1 would refer him to the following sources, for much valuable information on Malaria and its effects upon the health of those exposed to its in fluence—viz: Lancisi, a translation of his work may he found in the Ist vol. of the Medical and Phil. Register, McCulloch on Malaria, the works of Rush, Bancrolt on Fevers, Johnson on Tropical Climates, Dickson on Malaria, in the Ist No. of the Southern Review, Caldwell on Malaria, in the 16th No. of the American Jour nal of the Medical Sciences, Miller’s Essay on Yellow Fever, and numerous other productions to he found in almost every Medical Library. His first assumption being erroneous, of course, his calculations, some of which are equally so, must be AIJ FUDGE. Destructive Gale and Snow Storm, East. SHII’WIIECKS, AND great loss of life. The New York Star, of the 18th instant » says : “ Early on the morning of Sunday, it be gan to snow, rain, and blow with great violence, and so continued all the night and Monday. At Boston, several chinmies and trees were blown down, and houses unroofed. The shipping suf fered severely—were torn from their moorings, and much damaged.” The Commercial Advertiser is filled with the particulars of the damages done by the gale. In Boston, Salem, Ncwburyport, Marblehead, and other ports in the Eastern States,great damage was done ;o the shipping and houses. We have no room for the details. The Commercial says— Thus have we given a long list of the disasters that have occurred on our shores—making in a‘l - twenty-two total wrecks, thirty-two vessels dis- | masted drifted out of the harbor, <Slc., and i twenty ascertained deaths.'’ Tim Boston Mercantile of Ifilh says:—ft was fortunately neap tide—-nevertheless the water rose above some of the wharves, and a considera ble quantity of lumber was washed away—and large quantities of boards were blown from the piles in the lumber yards. Huvcrhill-street, just this side of Warren Bridge, was this morning covered with the boards which were blown from the adjoining lumber yards. Considerable damage was done at East Bos ton; the roof of the school house was blown off; the cur-house was blown down, and some of the cars much injured. t lack Ann.— V\ e have conversed with a gen tleman who left Gloucester this morning, from whom we learn that the destruction of life and property in that vicinity has been very great.— At Ihe commencement of the storm a great many coasleis entered the harbor, and the most of them were compelled to anchor at the entrance. About 20 of these coasting vessels were driven ashore, of which 16 went to pieces, and many of the indi viduals on board, probably a fourth part, were drowned. Our informant saw 17 dead bodies were lying on the beach; —among them was the body of a woman, found lashed to the windlass hilts of a Castine schooner; two of the crew ol this schooner were lost. One of the vessels on the beach was the Splendid, of S —, loaded with lumber; also, Ike Mary and Eliza, of Bellas’. The scenes which occurred during the violent gale yesterday, were truly heat t rending. The ve sels which drifted ashore lay within 30 yards of terra lirma, between which and them dashed the formidable waves, breaking with great fury, insomuch that assistance by means of boats could not be rendered. Some we c washed ashore and escaped with life—and others on rafts, or by ropes, reached the shore much exhausted. 18 or 20 sail of vessels, by cutting away their masts, rode out the gale. At Sandv Bay. a schooner, name unknown, loaded, with flour, struck on a re. f, while enter ing the harbor, and went instantly to pieces. It is thought thought that all on hoard were drown ed. Further Particulars. —Of GO vessels in the outer harbor of Gloucester, 21 were drived a shore—of which latter only one, the schr. Delta of Wiscasset, was not a total loss ! Three sunk and the crews are probably lost. Os 21 that re mained in the outer haibor at anchor, all bad to cutaway their masts but seven. Other wrecks were seen on the.shore ol Cape Ann. At Salem, the ship Sumatra, from the Vine yard, got safely in. At Charlestown Navy Yard, (opposite Bos ton) the sloop of war Concord broke loose and drove against the Columbus 74, damaging both vessels. Several chimnies and sheds were blown down. In the towns in the country many barns, fences, chimnies, &e. were blown down. At Barnstable, Cape Cod, ins! at Plymouth, Kingston, Portsmouth, and New Bedford, the storm was neither severe nor disastrous. In Ncwburyport a large elm tree was lorn up by the roots. ' The Boston Advertiser ol Tuesday says: One of the most remarkable circumstances connected with this gale is, that at Barnstable, only 66 miles from this city in a S. 8. E. direc tion, it blew hard from 9 in the morning to noon on Sunday,l iter which, while the gale was most severe in this vicinity, the wind lulled to a mod erate breeze, and shilled to S. and S. W., contin uing through ihc afternoon and night. Early yesterday morning it hauled to N. E., but was still moderate ! At New Bedford, only 52 miles south of this city, the Mercury states there was , a brisk snow storm, and the snow fell to the depth I of several inches. There is no mention of the ( wind, and the anxiety of the good people of that p ace was only that the by-laws for the removal of snow from the sidewalks should be dulv en forced. I he railroad from Salem to Ipwish was to have been opened Tuesday, but this event is defeated owing to the destructive storm. The car house at East Boston was blown down, and the high tide has injured the road. 1 ho quantities of snow on the railroad from Boston to Worcester, det lined the ears. At Providence, R. 1., .there was a blow with snow, but no damage. The following is an extract from the regulu tions of the Post Office Department:— CCjT' Remittance by Mail. —“ A Postmaster may enclose money in a letter to the publisher ot a newspaper, to pay the subscription of a third person, and frank the letter, if wiUteri by him self.” Note.— Some subscribers may not he aware of the above regulation. It will be seen, that by requesting the Postmaster, where they reside, to frank their letters containing subscription mo ney, he will do so upon being satisfied that the letter contains nothing but what refers to the subscription, Ihe Great Fraud in Philadelphia. We find in the Philadelphia National Gazette of Wednesday afternoon the following authentic particulars respecting the great fraud committed in the Schuylkill Bank. They go to confirm the worst rumors of the affair winch have hereto fore reached us : We have been at some pains to collect authen tic information regarding the act of stupendous and desperate fraud practised by H. J. Levis, late cashier of the Schuylkill Bank of this city. In noticing this transaction it behooves the press to call things by their right names. A criminal act, daservingthe penalties of the law, should re ceive its proper appellation and denunciation, and it the guilty have a great stake and station in so ciety. the heavier should be the infamy. The Directors of the Schuylkill Bank have been most industriously investigating the concerns of the Institution since yesterday, and we are ena bled to give in round numbers the results of their labours. These will satisfy the rightful curiosi ty of the public for the present, until a full and particular statement can be made. The Board have discovered that Mr. Levis’s account of Kentucky Bank stock shows a deficit of over thirteen thousand shares. Besides it is ascertained that there have been overdrafts to the amount of upwards of two hundred thousand dollars—for a large portion of this, however, it is understood, security is hold. It is discovered that the fraudulent transfers of the Kentucky Bunk Stock were begun as far back as January, 1837. The Schuylkill Bunk owed to the city hanks at one time previous to the Bank resumption of Au gust, 1838, about six hundred thousand dollais ; and to the surprise of many it suddenly paid these balances. The liquidation of this amount may now he accounted for by the over issue by Mr. Levis of four thousand five hundred shares of Kentucky Bank Stock from February to October of that, year, (1838). There is to Mr. Levis’s I credit on the look three hundred and fifty thou- 1 j sand dollars, which he alleges to be part of the I money. In May, 1838, according to our informant’s ' statement,Mr. Maxwell, the transfer clerk in the Schuylkill Bank was aware that the Kentucky Bank Stock account was overdrawn 10 or 12,060 shares, by wan ants from Mr. Levis. Mr. Max well left the Schuylkill Bank in May 1839, and the account was still short 10,000 share.. To show the utter infatuation of the laic Cashier in this matter, even if the hank had had a million in gold (its desposits were a little over n tenth of that amount) it would have been impossible for him to have redeemed the fraudulent issues of stock ; for allowing each" share in the utmost de pression of the stock market to have been down to 60 dollars, to have commenced to buy op the shares would have so increased their entire value as to place it considerably over this million. At the instance of the Kentucky Bank, the doors of the Schuylkill Bank were closed yester day by an Injunction through the Sheriff. John P. Wetherill, Esq. was on Monday elected Pres ident in place of Mr. Levis, Onrcity has sustained by this transaction, a deep, deep disgrace. The best course is for pub lic opinion through the public press to attach the proper reprobation to such mi enormous offence against the morals and interests of society.— None we are sure are readier to affix Ihc mark of | turpitude to this business than the friends to the 1 Banking system, properly and honestly conduct- j I’d ; —and a great evil must accrue to the Banks ' unless their friends arc among the foremost in I attaching the fullest measure of infamy to this 1 affair. Ship Villi; De Lvov. —We are gratified to learn that this ship, for which there has been so much anxiety fell, is safe, having pul into Ber muda in distress. The schr. Jane, Capt. Pear man, arrived last evening, hringingthe gratifying news of her safety, and that of 200 passengers. Extract of a letter from Captain Stoddard, dated Bermuda, November 25 : “ In a gale of October 31st, latitude 40, longi tude 43. carried away main and mizcu top-sail yard, and the fore and main-top-gall,int masts were blown away without any sails attached. We. 1 were swept clean. After blowing six hours it moderated, leaving the ship a perfect wreck. On the next morning, the Ist November, bent ano ther foresail, and carried away the forcyard in u squall. On the Ifilh November, spoke the ship Victoria, Captain Lenox, supplied them with some provisions. On the 21st November, wind still from the west, decided to hear up for Bermu da, and arrived there on the 22d. On entering, the pilot ran the ship ashore, causing the ship to leak badly, which will oblige us to discharge the cargo, or heave the ship out, which will probably detain us two months The passengers will pro bably leave in the Alexander Grant, and will soon be with you.”— New York Herald, The Governor of Florida superceded.— We find under the head of “ appointments by the President,” in the Globe of Tuesday, the following sentence .- ••Robert Raymond Reid to be Governor of the Terrilo.y o! Florida, in the place of Ric i ahii K. Call, superseded.” Those who read the late message of Gov. Call to the legislature of the territory, will easily con jecture why he has been superseded. In that document be showed conclusively, not only that the Federal Government had neglected to provide adequately foi the defence of the fiontier against the SemLoles and their allies, but that the Gov ernment agents hud even refused to supply bread to the c.itiz' n volunteers, in the field to defend their families from the attacks of the revengeful savage, when at the s ime time large quant tics of i provisions were rotting in the government depot, j We arc inclined to believe that Governor Call i has been dismissed for being too candid. The comparisons he instituted between the little that hail been accomplished in Florida>jnid the thirty mi/hons expended, were “oderoua.” The new Governor is, we mule rota ml, a thoroughgoing hard money, anti-bank Van Burcnitc. —A'.

REMARKS., | ; Cotton. —We have to report a decline in the pike of this article, of about one-fourth of a cent since our last. This is produced by the love state 1 of the river,.in. consequence of which it is impossi ble to get off cotton by the boats. There are now near 7000 bales lying on the river bank, waiting for a rise in the river to be carried off. There arc two steamboats lodged 00 one cf the bars in the river below, wlridr cannot be gotten off. and they block up the river so as to prevent the pole-boats freight ed with cotton from passing down.
