FEDERAL ABUSE OF IRISH CHARACTER.

UR Pt yton’s federal detraction of a class of our
cltlsens, who yield to non* la their devotion to tbb

tion atones of whloh ware laid by true patriots, who
were grateful for the aid they received from th: '•
Irish oo-labourers in the great work of freedom.
To the Editor of the Louisiana Aioertiecr.
Sir—With a full consciousness of the inadequsey
of my strength, to tho labor which I have undcv>
ken, I still indulge in an humble hope, that my
K heclcs will not shorn the fate of thoso of “Cos-
re," at the Scige of Troy. The period, has evi
dently arrived, when an Imperative, tiny, a paw-
mount duty of self defence, has devolved upon the
numorous, intelligent, and mspcctable Irishmen of
this city, Bailey Peyton, a lying lawyor^who, “ Ica
rus" like, has falleu from the height to whteh he
had been elevated, by the fatuity of those who once
sent him as tltcir representative to Congress; and
who thinking that
“When a man U lacking in ability!
To push his fortune ho must try scurrilllty,"
a mode of procedure which lie has adopted with*
vungennee, when in tho plontltude of his ignorance
and effrontery—he, in opon court, stigmatise* the
wholo of tho Irish residents in tho United States, as
tho
" Scum of/Jem/**—rascals—runnngntes!
.. Whom th ir overcloyod country vomits forth
v To desperate adventure and destruction."
with tho view, no doubt, of obtaining u foothold fur
the (udder of hit renewed ambition upon the mint
of their reputation and character. Should his. t.
tack be permitted to pass unheeded, and without
some evident demonstrations being shown of the
lirm determination of tho rcspcctnbl* portion of tho
Irish community, to propuro for. and put down fu
ture aggression, there are many .who will eagerly
avail tlunttelves of the opportunity of “throwing

MU. BAILIE PEYTON.
This personogo, who distinguished himself s*
much whllo in Congress, as one of tho tail of Mir
Hknry A. Wish, the Virginia Hotspur, and who
was ono of the celebrated Committee that examin
ed the sleek Conservative, Mr. Reuben M. Whit
ney, and who showed his'liberality, by telling tho
latter, who happened to look at his Highness Bai-
lir.PrytoN, “ to take his d—d eyes off him, or
he'd shoot him!" This notorious individual, find
ing that Old Tennosaeo was too narrow a field for
a man of his cloth, has latety taken up his real*
dencoin New Orleans, where ho has commenced
the practice of law..
On a late trial for manslaughter hi that city, Mr.
Pryton was one of tho counsel in tho case. He
* saw fit- to Introduce Irish character into his ha
rangue, for the purposo of traducing it. -He abus
ed that class of our chitons without exception rend
branded them at furocinus, brutal, and unmanly
beings. All who heard him, declared tho outrage
to be shnmoftil. A writer signing himself “ Grat
tan," drew public attention to it in the Louisiana
Advertiser. A groat sensation ha* lioen produced
by tho intemperate and gratuitous usiortlona of Mr.
Pktton, and, of course, the party with which he
acu. have endeavored to sustain him. Tho Adver
tiser, however, is an exception; as tho editor of
that paper is an Irishman, and yet, strange to say,
he is also a IVAig.
This is net tht> first time, however, that the Fed
cralists have abused and maligned die countrymen
of a Montgomery—a Sullivan, and a Jasper.
The concoctors of.the Allen and Sedition Laws did
* all they could to deprivo them of the elective fran
chise, and close tho portnls of the Constitution^*©
that they should not enter within the walls of the
. templo.
Such conduct can only Injure those who are silly
enough to endeavour to brand a wholo nation with
ruffianism. The Constitution and the lawe are
abundantly strong to sustain the rights of our clti-
* tens, native or adopted—and the good sense of tho
American people, who fiavo taken a Iguon from
their forefathers, who accomplished the regenera
tion ofiheir country, aided by a Pulaski, a Stku-

then would he know what truo oratory was—then
would ho feel how supremely ridiculous a man in
his situation must appear; in which tho words of
the poet are fulfilled—
“tmmodest words admit of no defence.
And want of decency i^ want of sense."
malicious sneer of those opposed to us, will bo con-
verted Into open denunciation, and many an embryo

safe road to notoriety In the violence and virulence
of his attack upon the Irish—tho consummation of
all which, may possibly result in tho estimate of

GREATNESS.
This word is much perverted. Indeed, we sel
dom see it properly applied. ^ Every thing Is in pro
portion, and therefore, things are great only in
proportion to those that are greater or lesser.—
Fancy has much to do with greatness—comparison
has more. We consult our own views, whflh wo
call a man great, without proper reference to the
mean! ug of the word.
A Cjesar, an Alkxandkr,• Washington, a
Napoleon, cannot bo found every day. Neither
can a great man be seen in every hamlet. It is
true, few of the smallest villages in our country ere
devoid of what their inhabitants term a great mo
and he would naturally rather be the Cjksar of his
town, than be second in Romo. But when he goes
abroad, he finds his level—his fancied superiority
disappears.
.Greatness is too often understood to be greatest
—and yet what it greatest to our eyes may be no
thing In tke eyes of other*. -•
We ore justified when we say “ God is great,"
for He must be greater than all. As ho was the
^*fi?rtt Cause, so He is tho Greatest. But we cannot
define greatness further.

We were just Impatient fur an excuse in throw
down the pen of casting accounts, answering letters
complaining of tnlsdng papers, and those thousand
and one complaints to which Editors nre “ heir to,"
when the yellow paper bundle of the aforesaid pub.

rot turmoil of the hot miming hours, and wo re
pin'd freer, as we out the string with our penknife
and vicwi-d ‘he two volumes with the above title.
We had no Cologne at hand, which by tho bye

maxim, which with the aid of out dictionary we
presumed to mean—" Marriage is a very serious
thing. One cannot pnuso too long on the brink,
Happy those who hesitate nil their lives." „
This the render will observe is a* free a transla

and it reconciled us so agreeably to our state of sin

happy sentiment of ono of our friend* on his bridal

“ The State of Georgia and the married S/afr—

whicli we believe he haa had no occasion to regret
at the end nf nine years uninterrupted felicity with
the girl of his idolatry, we determined to torn over
tbe succeeding leaves and ascertain why tho fair

what sho knew and what she felt within, We read
the dedication, for it was short, and envied not the
virtues of “ No one Nobody, Esq. of no Hall, no
where," (or whom the fair author has expressed so
much " gratitude." ,We\geresoon a little acquaint
ed with the pages of.the work itself, in which we
were promised “ a mingled yarn of good and evil,"
and In the first chapter found occasion to differ with
the fair ono when she introduces but ono instance
of" people liking their opposites"—which instance
is that of " ugly mon generally preferring handsome
women," and which preference is ascribed to their
weakness. We will not, however, argue with the
lady i« limine. We prefer holding converse with
the gentle Fanny and her splendid sister, to whom
we have received an introduction in the first forty or
fifty page.*. We shall then be more qualified to
judge whether the stately Noble, who " gave one the

though dazzling Beauty, whose smile is bright

When it breaks into dimples and Iuugbs in tbe sun."
We therefore return to the satirical pages of Che-

we have not possessed it, but for a veiy brief period.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN AUGUSTA.
We learn, by a letter received by tho Insurance
& Trust Co. «r this city, that a fire broke nut at 9
o’clock Yesterday morning iu Augusta. It com-
r. • ccd in the kitchen of the Planters Hotel. Tho
Hotel, with all iu out buildings and several small
buildings adjoining, were consumed, when by great
exertions oftho Fire Companies and citizens,tho pro
gross of the flames wu* effectually checked. The
Hotel was owned and occupied by Mr. Hale, and
was, we understand, fully insured, $8000 in the In

THE FIRE IN AUGUSTA.
Wo give the following particulars of the firoin
Augusta, ftom tbo Chronicle 4* Sentinel, of the
19ih inst.
Yesterday morning, about halfpast two o’clock,
a fire broke out in the Planters’ Hotel, in this city,
and tha building being entirely of wood, except the
,lt
basement • lory ,lt was quickly wrapped in flumes,and
consumed with astonishing rapidity.. With it, also,
all the buildings standing on the satre square were
burnt down, except one wing - f an old warehouse:
but these were|incon»iderable, consisting chiefly,of
houses attached to the hotel, and some old t
houses formerly occupied by John Reese, nnd
recently by C. Miner, as a livenr atahlo, at presen
usi-dinpartby Messrs. H. & G. Hot.diey, for the
purpose of storing carriages. One wing of thin, as
slated above, is loft standing. One or two
buildings west oftho hotel, and across a small street
were burnt down. All the property burnt, except
onesmnll.nnd unimportant building, belonged to
Samuel Hale, Esq.,and, we understand, was cover
ed by insurance to tho amount of $14,000 on the
buildings, and $0,000 nn tho furniture. His toss
mny bo -stated in tho whole at about $25,000, being
$,5,000 more than the amount of hi* insurance.
Although tho morning was perfectly calm, yet
thorn was great difficulty in preventing tho fire from
extending both oast and west; and hnd there been a
strong wind, the consequences would hnvobeon dis
astrous to tho city in theoxtreme. As it was noth
ing but tho Unluted situation of tho hotel, on a square
toiuclf, nnd at a distance from Board street, pre
vented a very goncrai conflagration. Being a very
large and entensive building four stories high, and
tho weather having been for somo time past very
dry, tho magnitude jind heat of tho flames will read
ily beconcoivod by^thc distant loader.
Whether the fire was the result of accident or de
sign, has not been ascertained, and our inquiries
into that matter are altogether unsatisfactory, and
do not justify us in expressing our opinion either

P. S.—Since the above waa in type, we have been

ance on the Planters’ Hotel:

Thla was an action Ihr an assault and battery,

who committed also adornment of tho most impor

This necessarily brought the defendant frequently
to tho plaintiff’s shop, and on somo of those occa-

bonrd or cutting or curling his hair, tho defendant
made himself merry at tho barber’s ovorgrovfn whis

Mr. Editor t—On the 11th inst. somo of the in
habitants of this county, living neur the Great Sutilla
River, While fishing, discovered tho body of a man
in tho water, not far from Varno's Landing, about
throo miles above the Burnt Fort Steam Mill. Tho
corpse was noa. ly divested of clothing. An inquest
was held on the body next day, and it was a mere
mangled lump of putrefaction—ono log, thigh, nnd
hand entirely gone, supposed to havo been tern off
by tho alligators or fish. Tho foot of his only re
maining log wns torn off at tho anclo bona, and tho
other a rm off at tho elbow. Hisfeatures had all dis
appeared ; consequently ho could not bo recognized.
Tho Jury agreed unanimously that ho had been
drowned or caught by nn alligator, in attempting lo
cross tho river with a horse, whore thorn was no
ferry.
A horse hnd crossed tho river noar whore tlw
man was found. It was -the property of Mr.
Thomas Vicort. near CentreviUo, nnd was, no
doubt stolen by this unknown person from that gen
tleman’s stable. Ho bad lain in tho water nbotit’a

We have be* n informed that among the familirs
whe were staying at tho Planter* Hotel, when it
waa destroyed by fire on Mojpiay night, was that of
Mi. Buckingham, the Oriental Jtruvoilor, his lady
end ton. He had returned late from .the delivefy
of Ids first lecture on Palestine in the Presbyterian
ChuTch, and sitting uploading for tome time after,
he had not long retired to rest when the alnrm of
fire was first given, but the flames then bunting nut
in a remote part of the hotel, he was enabled to
bring out Ids family in p -rf.-ct safety His faithful
man servant, however, o native uf Ireland, in re
maining too long to assist in saving as much of the
property as could be roiruod from tho flumes, had
to lower down the trunks by a rope of bed sheets
tied together from the bed ro**m windows,and throw
ing out after these, all the matrasses and feather bed**
at hand, ho leaped on to them from the height of up
wards of twenty fret—eveiypasrago out nf the house
being (Iran blocked up by flame', and received a
■light injury from the fall, hut medical attendance
being immediately procured, he in expected speedi
ly to recover. Mr. Buckingham’s manu'crints and
papers were all saved, and u good portion of his per
sonal effects, though from the suddenness nf the a-
larm and the rapidity of the flumes, muy valuable ar
ticles of property and apparel were unavoidably
consumed. The family were kindly and hospita
bly received by Mr. and Mrs. Braydon, nearly opr

they still remain.—Augusta Cons. 2d inst.
From Brazil.—Tho ship Lnuisinnn, at Phila
delphia from Rio rle- Janeiro, Iwfcigs papers to lu
May. Thu U.S. Gazette says !—We perceive that
a considerable excitement had been caused by a clt-
cumstunce connected with the British ship which
had brought in three captured slaves. The papers
do not give a full account, but so far os wo lenrn,
tho capturing of such vessels is not sufficiently p*.p.
ular, nnd one of tho slave captains wns rescued by
tho mob. Subsequently, a steamboat was passing
near tho British ship and was hailed—no answer
waa given; whether the silence was intentional, or
whether tho no'so of machinery prevented the cap-
tdin of the steamer from hearing, is not known.
A gun wo* fired from the British ship, and tho
bnli struck a passenger of the boat in the forehead,
and killed him; his wife, to whom had been re
cently married, was standing at his side, and was
wounded slightly in tbo nose. This caused a terri-
bio commotion on the shore. The English captain
attempted to land, but was driven back; he then
brought from his vessel armed force, but was un
able to get on shore- We see by ono of die latest
papes that a demand had been made upon the Brit-
sh commander for tlw person who discharged the
kgun.

We have been informed from an authentic source
that our estimate of $5,000 ns the amount of Mr.
Hale’s loss by tlie fire on Tuesdny morning, over
and above hi* insurance, is to small. Tbe building
of the Hotel cost 30,000 originally, besides the brick
building on the corner of Reynold end McCartan-str.
which emt about $2000. But a very small portion
of the furniture was raved, and not* single article

Shocking Accident.—In all the horribles which
as a newspaper editor wc have chronicled, we do
not recollect to have met anything more shocking
than the following from tbe Boston Mercantile
Journal of Wednesday:
On Friday afternoon last, a shocking accident
happened on board tbe sloop BeJvidere, Capt. L.
Herrey. while in tbe harbour of Anni* Squam.—
Tbe sloop had got ashore—and had carried out a
hedge anchor and towline for tbe purpose of heav
ing off. The tide ran with great rapidity—and
when the vessel got afloat she [lasted over the an
chor before tbe hands could take in tlie slack of tbe
towline. A turn was taken round tbe windlass—
but tbe cook being busy in assisting on tbe fore
castle, unfortunately got his bead In tbe bight of

THOMAS JEFFERSON AND THE MECH-
LENBURG DECLARATION.
We find the subjoined notice in tlie N. York Whig,
of a recent discovery in relation to thn Mechlenburg
Declaration of Independence,which fully exonerates
Mr. Jefferson from the charge so frequently of law
years brought against him,of having plagiarised from
thatinstiument, several striking coincidences of
thought and phraso being pointed out irj hi* immor
tal paper, and in tliat which preceded it from the pa
triots of the town above mentioned. Tho accusa
tion waa sopiausi’ 'a tlmt Mr. Jefferson’s friends
were often somewhat staggered by it {hut from tbe
discovery of Mr. Force, it teems that ingenious ro
guery interpolated the passages in question fur the
niirpbse of itduring the fair fame of the Ssgo of
Montiealln, who had never seen or heard of tlw
Mechlenburg Declaration at tho time that on tbe
part of tlie United Steles was written and adop

Wehnvennwin Havre about 100 000 holes of

In thn face of such nn enormous supply on the

that our price* should befeeblo, nnd tho disposition

Cotton is certainly ono to two centime* ehrnppr

to receive t.o check, under the pressure of our Im

THE COTTON CIRCULAR.
We take the following from the Journal of Com
merce of the 17th inst :—
The following letter appoared in mnstoft'ie
Morning papers of Saturday. Wo said that Mr.
Cowperthwait wns here, on the anihority ofsovernl,
gentlemen who asserted it positively. They must
turnover, have boon mistaken, and so of course wore
we. The metenntilo community, we think, under
stand the matter very well in general.
To the Editor.
I had supposed tliat my former communication of
the 11th instant, relating to tho Cotton Circular,
would have satisfied tho Editors of tbe Journal of
Commerce, but in this expectation it seems I havo
been mistaken. Hnd the Joumnl confined its re
marks to statements founded on inference, I should
have disregarded their assertions as unworthy of no
tice; but ns they havo assumed tho responsibility of
using tho expression "we know." it cannot bo sub
mitted to with impunity. In thoir paper of yester
day, is an editorial nrticio containing tho following
extract:
" Lastly, Mr. Dunlap, the President oftho Bonk,
Mr. Cowperthwait, tho Cashier, and Mr. Bovnn, of
tho Philadelphia house nf BeVnn and Humphreys,
were all hero and spot tho'day on Thursday, and
were in consultation with Mr Wilder nnd Mr.
Rockwell, nnd wo know that Mr. Wilder was in
consultation with Mr. Dunlap, with ono of these
Circulars in his hand."
In relation to tho abnvo, I deem it my duty to
say, and Ho it in tho most explicit manner
ist. It is utterly false that Mr. Cowperthwait
was in the city on Thursday, ns stated above, or at
any time for several weeks past.
2d. It is utterly false that Mr. Bevan spout tlie
day hero nn Thurodoy; he wns hore, I am inform
ed, on Friday ;* but I did not see him, nor did Mr.
Rockwell see him, nor did oither Mr. Rockwell or
■myself know that ho was hero.
3d. It is utterly false that them was any consul
tation whatever on any subj' jt between Mr. Bovon,
Mr. Cowperthwait, and Mr. Dunlap, or 'either of
them, and Mr. Rockwell and mysolf, or either of

4th. It is utterly false thnt I was in consulta
tion with Mr. Dunlnn with one of the Circulars in
my hand. Mr. Dunlap, it is true, was in this city
from Wednesday uftemoon until Thursday after
noon, but l did not know that ho wos here until
about an hour and a half before bis departure. I
saw him then only accidentally for aribw minutes,
but ut that lime / did not know of We Circular,
had never s*en it and ntver heard of it. I did
not know that it was oither in existence or in con
templation until Friday morning, when printed co
pies. f it were presented to me.
In conclusion, 1 now repeat what I stated in my
former communication, that the Dank of the United
Sta'cs had nothing whatever to do with Ike Circu
lar, so far as I know and believe.
