CH ROM OLE A NI) SENTINEL;
AUGUSTA.
SATURDAY MORNING, JANUARY 25.
Congress*
Nothing of moment has transpired in either
branch of Congress. Jn'Aa Howe, the Aboli
tion petition question was still under discussion.
A bill ha* been introduoed into the legislature
of Pennsylvania to repeal the charter of the Dank
of the United State*.
A splendid dinner was given to Judge White
at Washington city, after his resignation, at
which Mr. Preston presided. The following toast
was given.
“Hugh L. White. —A statesman withonl fear
and without reproach.”
The 'Hon. N. P. Talmadge lias been elected
Senator to Congress from the Slate of New
York for six years from tire 4th of March, 1839*
by a majority of 18 votes.

There is reason to apprehend that we may yet
have a war with England, on account of the
Maine Boundary. The articles below arc rather
ominous of such an event:
From the N. York Courier amt Enquirer, ]Hlh Inst.
We copy from the Montreal Herald of the
I4lh mat, the following memorandum extracted
by that paper ftom the Quebec Mercury , and
issued by Sir John Harvey. It is certainly a
very extraordinary document, and should receive
attention at Washington:
In the Quebec Mercury of Thursday last, we
find the following Memorandum issued hy His
Excellency Sir John Harvey, the Lieut. Gover
nor of the Province of New Biumwick. Wo
do not know the motives which have induced
His Excellency to issue it, but il may possibly
bo in consequence of information he received
from the Imperial Government, that, in the event
of Messrs. Feutherstonhaugh and Mndge’s re
port of their survey of the disputed territory
agreeing with the position already maintained hy
Great Britain, the whole energies of the empire
will he called into action to enforce our posses
sion of It, even at the cost of a war with the
United (States. Although these gentlemen have
not allowed the particulars ol their report to
transpire, it is more than probable that its details
are in the possession of Hir John Harvey, and
that they are in our favor. In ease of a general
war, the recommendations of Sir John arc ex
tremely judicious, and we understand they were
acted upon with the most beneficial results during
the war of 1812 and the subsequent years.—
mkmoiiandum.
I am desirous of impressing upon the inhab
itants of the Iromier districts of this Province,
that in the event of hostilities with tho United
Stales, the most prudent course to he pursued (on
either side, for the measure to he ellectual must
be reciprocalJ would in my opinion bo that of a
strict neutrality. Let the Borderers remember
that as connected with the war, il we should un
happily lit compelled to engage in one, no ration
al object ran possibly ha advanced by any display
on their part of Hostile feelings towards each other
—they might, it is true, mutually subject each
other to constant alarms, great calamities, sufler
ing and distress—but their utmost efforts must be
as a drop of water in llic determination of the
groat National Questions at issue, which must
ho derided elsewhere by iho naval and military
resources of the Great Power* engaged in the
conflict. And let the inhabitants of this Prnv
inco repose with confidence upon the protection
of the Parent Stale, which is alike able and
willing to throw her powerful shield over all who
have a just claim to her protection and defence.
From the National Intelligencer ofZ\st.
The Bopixdaiit Question. —Wo confess
ourselves startled at the serious character of tbo
remarks made on Friday lust in the Senate, by
Mr. Buchanan and other*, upon the Maine
Boundary question. Mr. Buchanan is the chair
man of tiie Senate’s rommillee on Foreign Re
lations; and to whatever fulls Iroin him, therefore,
on the subject of those relations, much considera
tion is justly due, V\ e are pained to learn, Irom
his lips, that serious difficulties are apprehended
with the British Government before the contro
versy concerning the Boundary is brought to a
close. We are, wo repeal, sorry to hear it, hav
ing confidence in the honorable Senator that ho
would not say so if he did not think so. Me
had hoped—nay, wo still hope—belter things.
We cannot bring ourselves to believe that the dis
pute upon this point can be curried to extremi
ties between two Nations having the good feel
ing towards each other which tho People and
Governments of Grout Britain and the United
Stales now really have.
Enough was said in the hriel debate ol Satur
day; by everv gentleman who took part in it, to
wake up public attention, which, in this part ot
the country at least, has been profoundly asleep,
in reference to the whole matter, ever since the
effect of the agreement between Mr. Forsyth and
Mr. Fox was ascertained to be to prevent any
bloodshed, fertile lime,between the borderers.

The British Queen is due. In all probability
she will tie in before Monday. Her news respect
ing the flour market and money affairs is ox peel
ed to bo important. Anxiety as to the United
Stales Bunk is over, but the probable condition
of Groat Britain as to her crops is an important
question. If »be is to be a large buyer ol bread,
the prospect for trade there is poor. Her cur
rency must be straitened ; her capitalist* must bo
timid; things must he feverish if she has to pur
chase of Europe ami America her stuff of life.
The Washington mail lias not reached ns for
two days! We ore used to it, though. Tho
Eastern steamboat mail from Boston (Friday
evening) has reached us. As might he expected,
tho calamity befalling the Lexington created the
greatest sensation in Boston.
The domestic exchanges arc getting better,—
of the South and West now paid specie, ex
change would be near par on New Orhans. On
the West the rates arc better. The flour trade
will right things there when the streams open.
Exchange on Europe yet has a look downward.
We arc importing hut little. The South will
buy but little. Our condition for the year to
come is likely to be as good as that ot England
and France. There is more money as there is
less business. This is the general view, but tho
individual details of distres-.es caused by a want
of employ for labor are horrible.

Hamburg, January 24, 1840.
Tho New York Gazette alludes to Mr. Ken
dall’s pianos smuggling the mail, and thus de.
nounees that mean and disreputable measure :
“ Wo are no croakers—no indiscriminate abu
sers of any act of the Administration, to which
we are opposed—fair men of all parties wc believe
will allow us this credit at least; but we do say in
full sincerity, and free, wo trust, of all improper
bias, that unless tho President removes tho present
Post Master Grnrrnlliy his own net, or the Na
tional Legislature removes him by impeachment,
onr Government deserves all the contumely that
its enemies have thrown upon it. If such crea
i tures as Kendall are permitted to hold high and
responsible stations, we are a disgraced and de
graded people, until for social intercourse with
nations professing to he civilized.”

—Wo copy the following from the Little Rock
Times, of the 23d ult.:—On .Saturday last, Maj.
E. Rector arrived at this place with five prisoners
from the Cherokee nation ; three Indians and two
white men, who are all safely lodged in jail.—
Contrary to what has been generally supposed
here, these men were not taken on the charge of
being concerned in the murders of the Ridges
and Boudinot, hut for other crimes. An Indian
named Terrill,and two while men, named Shrum
mill Newman, were taken hy a command under
Lieut. Northrop, of tho Dragoons, for unmerci
fully healing and leaving for dead, u teamster
named Bullard, because, as they said, he worked
cheaper than they would. Jack Terrill, a brother
of the one taken, and principal in the affair,
made his escape—hut il is believed will be taken.
After they had whipped Ballard, taken his pistol
and knife, and left him for dead, Jack, in order
to make sure of their victim, returned and stamp
ed on his head. Bullard, however, recovered.—
The same party also attacked and dangerously
slabbed a son of Colonel Whinnery, of Wash
ington county, and threw a Missouri hog-driver
into a fire and shockingly burned him. Jack
Nicholson was taken by a comma,id under Lieut.
Porter of the Infantry, for some time since whip
ping and cutting off the cur of u man named
Liixton. He is the man whom John Richardson,
on the gallows, declared to he concerned in the
murder of the Wright family. George Waters
was indicted last summer, with others, for the
murder of a white m«n in tho nation. Helms
been considered a desperate character, and bade
defiance to any man to take him ; but Major
Rector, with three chosen men, in the most daring
manner, succeeded in capturing him. Leonard i
Randolph, also concerned in the same murder, is '
now in Texas, near Jonesborough. of which fact
Major Rector has apprised the commanding offi
cer of Fort Towson, so that ho will probably ho
taken.
We regret to learn that Lieut. Northrop, who
is said to ho a brave officer, and deserving of
much praise, received a severe wound by the
accidental discharge of his own pistol, whilu at
tempting to lake a man named Drew. The hall
lodged in his leg, near the knee, and it is feared
that he will lose either his leg or life.
Major Rector assures us that Gen. Arbuckle is
determined, at all hazards, to scour tho country,
and bring to justice all offenders on the frontier
and in the nation ; and that bis zeal and perse
j verance entitle him to much credit.

Mount Vernon,
The main portion of Washington’* house was
erected by bis brother, Lawrence Washington,
but the wings were added by himself. It is of
wood cut in imitation of freestone ; is two stories
in height and ninety-six feet in length; having a
portico running the whole extent on the side
j fronting the river. The roof is surmounted by a
cupola. There are, on the ground floor, six
rooms and a broad passage way. In one room,
in the northeast corner, is a marble chimney
piece, sent to Gen. Washington from Italy ; and,
also, a fine organ, on which Mrs. Washington
played with much skill. In another, at the
southeast end. are busts of Neeker, Paul Jones,
and General Washington, and, also, a handsome
library, the books of which were chiefly collected
bv Washington himself.
Mount Vernon received its name from Admi
ral Vernon, under whom Lawn nee Washington
once served. It is handsomely laid out in the vi
cinity of the house. In front is a lawn, contain
ing five or six acres of ground, surrounded by a
serpentine walk, fringed with shrubbery. On
eiiherside of this lawn, isa garden; that on the
right being devoted to flowers. In it a e two
green houses —one In ill by General Wasltinslon.
the othe , by Judge W i.-blngt n —ah' h u-e,
and a pincy. It is prettily laid out. being inter
sected with walks with box wood borders of pe
culiar beauty. Th* lot and green houses which
•re contiguous, are sheltered from the northern
: winds by a long range of wooden building* for
the accommodation of servant*. They contain
every variety of the most beaut,ful and remarka
f hie tropbical plants. There are groves of orange,
lemon, and coffee-trees, all in lull hearing, and
e delighting the senses with their rich odor. Many
bushels of lemons and oranges are annually pro
duced ; and the coffee-trees, also, yield an abun
r dance of excellent fruit. Os the other plant* 4
some of the most conspicuous are the night-hlow
v ing cerus, the guaon, aloes of a gigantic growth,
the West Indian plantain, the sweet cassia,
’ prickly pear, &c. The 4 ‘pincry” is appropriated
lothe cultivation of the pine-apple.
,f The house fronts northwest, the rear looking
to the river. About tiOOyards from it, in a south
erly direction, stands a summer-house, on the
edge of the river hank, which is here lofty *nd
t sloping, and clothed with wood to the water's
i. edge. The summer house commands a flue
prospect of the river and the Maryland shore; al
so, of the “White House,” at a distance of five
or six miles down the river, whe>e an engage
ment look place with the British vessels which
y ascended the river during the last war.
The estate, as owned by Judge Washington,
consisted of between three and four thousand
" acres, since divided among his nephews. It ha*

A Wi tv tip a 11, Pkiiiiaps,—A man named
Anthony McConnell fell dead in Kace street,
f Philadelphia, a few weeks since. He left sn es
l tale valued at from $50,000 to $75,000 and it is
not known that there are any heirs in this coun

Washington Letter—Extra.
The following letter contains the latest intel
ligence which we have receded from Washing
ton. It hears no date, and may have been de
layed a day or two, by the recent derangement of
the mails.
TIIK NEW SPEAKER, OR A POLITICAL CATE
CHISM.
The Speaker’s initials arc R. M. T. H. His
j name is Robert Mercer Talliaferro Hunter.
In reply to some inquiry, a Whig member of
Congress observed in the Hull, that the initials
signified —Right Mini Triumph Here.
Our little carrier pigeon has brought us various
j other applications of mottos and admonitions,
| and apprehensions and predictions, to these ini-
I tials, (R. M. T. H.) which by some strange over
j sight, the Washington letter-writers have omit
ted to communicate. We will subjoin some of
! them:
Regency Men Tremble Here.
Mr. Adams observed,
Rebuke Makes Tyrants Humble.
Mr. Rond, of Ohio, exclaimed,
Rump Men Tarnish Honor.
Rogues Must Take Heed.
Some one in the gallery whispered,
Rascals Must Tramp Hence.
Bynum, in a high state of anger and passion,
said to Thomas, of Md., Dromgoole, and Cave,
Johnson,
Ringleaders Must Take Heed.
Lewis, of Ala., said.
Ringleaders Managed The House.
Wise, in a calm and pleasant manner, whisper
ed to Lewis,
Robert Manages The House—and
Rare Merit Triumphs Here.
After the House had adjourned, and before the
new Speaker had delivered his Address, Mr. Van
dcrpocl. as he was walking rapidly along the
Pennsylvania Avenue towards the While House,
I was overheard to say,
Republican Martin’s Term Hopeless.
Recreancy May Torture Him.
Refractory Members Thwart Him.
Rotation Murders Tory Hope.
The Speaker, in his address, having made
some allusion to the “Grand Inquest of the Na
tion,” Mr. Profit, of Indiana, said to a Van Bu
ren member,
Regency Men Take Heed.
Rogues Must Testily Honestly.
All being straightway reported at the White
House, the tenant thereof, in a thoughtful but
desponding manner, was heard to say,
Regency May Take Hints.
Recent Movement Teach Humanity.
Republicans May Take Harrison. •»
Rule My Tempestuous House.
Rclic'e My Troubles Here.
Renew My Teams Hal.
Rotation Makes Tools Honest.
Rotation Mars Toiy History.
Alluding to Thomas Hart Benton, he exof aim
ed wildly,
Retrenchment Made Turn Hoarse.
Addressing Blair, he continued,
Retrieve My Tumbling Hopes.
Regain My Testy Hotspur.
Raise Me Trusty Hounds.
Therein on Blair suggested that Pickens was
invaluable, added;
Russia Missions Tantalize Him.
Calhoun, recently dining at the White House,
is repotted to have spoken plainly thus;
Remove Moan Tom Hart.
Rotation Must Trouble Him.
Rancour May Traduce Him.
Renegades May Trample—and then
Retired Majesty Takes Hold.
To which Van Buren quickly replied :
Reward My Trusty Hotspur.
Whereat tnc whole Party having thus secured
as they suppose:
Republican Marlin Titular Honor,
exclaimed with much political truth,
Regency Meanness Traps Hotspur.
A Recipe to Stop a Running House.—
As one comes running through the stiects, let
every man and boy commence dying “ Whoa !”

will finally slop. —Kew Haven Register.

We stated in cur report of last Wednesday mor
ning, that the market for the ordinary and middling
qualities of Cotton bad a drooping tendency at the
; time of closing our inquiries on the evening pre
vious, and the business of the day went to confirm
the remark, as the sales, which amounted to about
2500 bales, were g< nerally at prices a shade lower,
for those sorts. On Thursday advices were receiv
ed from Liverpool to the 27th Nov. two days later
than we had before, but as no material change was
reported as having taken place in Cotton in tlr.it
port, business in our market received no interrup
tion, the sales on that day being hilly 3000 bales,at
prices about tire same as those previously cunen^,
About 2 o’clock yesterday, the mail rame in,
bringing intelligence of the arrival of the packet
ship England at New York, with advices from Liv
erpool to the 7th Dec., by which we learn that pri
ces of American Cotton had sustained a decline of
aid since our previous accounts. What effec’, if
any, ibis news will have on our market, remains to
be seen. The sales before the arrival of the mail
at the hour mentioned above, amounted to 2(100
bales, at steady prices, but we could not learn of
any operations afterwards. The slock on sale of
the inferior and middling qualities is quite large,
and they are dull at our quotations, which are a
fraction lower, but the finer g.adcs are scarce, and
in fair request at former rates.
The sales for the week amount to 17,500 bales,
and for the last three days to 7500, ot which we

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.
DR. W. EVANS' CELEBRATED SOOTHING
SYRUP, for Children Cutting their Teeth.— This
infallible remedy has preserved hundreds of chil
dren, when thought past recovery, from convul
sions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. The preparation is
so innocent, so elficacious and sa pleasant, that no
child will refuse to let its gums be rubbed with it.
When infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums, to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there are young children; fur
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the gums,
the Syrup immediately gives ease, by opening the
i pores and healing the gums ; thereby preventing
' convulsions, fevers, &c. Sold only at Dr. Win.
! Evans’ Medical Office, 100 Chatham street, New
| York, where the Doctor may be consulted on all
| diseases of children,
I PROOF POSITIVE OF THE EFFICACY OF
Dr. EVANS’ SOOTHING SYRUP.—To the Agent
: of Dr. Evans’ Soothing Syrup: Dear Sir —The
1 great benefit afforded to my suffering infant by
your Soothing Syrup, in a case of protracted and
painful dentition, must convince every feeling pa
rent how essential an early application of such an
invaluable medicine is to relieve infant misery and
torture. My infant, when teething, experienced
such acute sufferings, that it was attacked wilq
convulsions, and my wife and family supposed that
death would soon release the babe from anguish.
; till we procured a bottle of your Syrup; which as
soon as applied to the gums, a wonderful change
was produced, and after a few applications the
i child displayed obvious relief, and by continuing m
its use, 1 am glad to inform you the child has com
j plctely recovered, and no recurrence of that awful
complaint has since occurred; the teeth are ema
nating daily and the child enjoys perfect health.
■ I give you my cheerful permission to make this
| acknowledgment public, andwill gladly give any
information on this circumsti nee.
