The last number of “ The Fanners Register.” under

speeches its members, and dismisses the subject with the
following significant remark:
“ We may presume to say that every great interest,

The Journal rersus the Relief message.
The Georgia Journal, continues its light guerilla war
fare on the out-posts of “ Governor McDonald's Relief
Message." It has adopted a Seminole system of poping
from a tree or fastness to make an occasional shot, avoid
ing an open war. But the Journal in this, even, is ahead
of its coadjutors, as they stand “ afar off” as if afraid to
touch tiie question. The last papers maintain the still
ness of death outlie subject of Judge Warner’s letter.
If they are husbanding all their energies fora furious as
sault at a future time, they may he acting wisely, hut if
this present silence is the beginning of a system of eva
sion, we say “ It won’t do” gentlemen! The question
is to he met, if you flee before it, your subscribers will
meet it for you, and in meeting will join in its resistless
current.
The temper of the remarks of the Journal, would be
handsomely adapted to a time of plenty—a time of fiscal
plethora, but when there is “a famine in the land,” when
mens property is sacrificing beneath the relentless ham
mer of the Sheriff, its remarks in faith, appear badly
limed. The remarkable equanimity of the Journal,
while its fellow-citizens of all parties are suffering the
anguish ( f poverty and distress, really savouis of the
levity and unfeeling disposition which led Nero to fiddle
while Rome was on fire.
Justice to the Editors of the Journal, must induce the
belief that party zeal has diverted their feelings from
their natural channel. They have too much of the milk
of human kindness in their composition to desire to see
their fellow citizens beggared and mined ; when if “ Go
vernor McDonald's Relief Message" had been carried
out, t! e people of Georgia would have been able to save
their property from sacrifice and their families from want.
But the Editors of the Journal, are in the liamess of a
party who have demanded the proposed Relief of the
Governor, and they must obey its despotic behests “ no
lens volens.” They must bring all the sophistry of tal
ent to the aid of a party abstraction, however much as
men they may loathe, the sight of distress, which could
have been averted, by the adoption of Gorcmor McDon
ald's relief Message. We commend to the Journal, an
attentive perusal of Judge Warner’s able exposition of
the Relief Message.
Tiik Hook Case.—Who that read the Whig papers
of Georgia during the last summer, and heard the speech
es of Whig orators, is not surprized at their present si
lence about negro testimony •' Why is it that Dawson
lias not introduced into Congress a bill to exclude negro
testimony in all cases, and in all places? It is yet the
law of tlie land, that negroes may he witnesses in certain
rases, in trials before the tribunals of the General Gov
ernment, and no respectable W hig, who has any repu
tation as a lawyer, from Col. Dawson down, will dare
deny it. Then why has not Col. Dawson introduced a
hill for the removal of this great evil? The Navy is yet,
in the language of the Whig orators, “ in danger of hav
ing the valiant and chivalric driven out of it.”—Georgia
Argus.
Ominous.—Mr. Webster boasted some months back,
that there was about the notes of Biddle’s Bank “an odor
of nationality,” to secure them currency and credit. As
they have now lost both and are in bad odor, the odor of
nationality ill which tlie monster has expired is “a stench
in tlie nnstriis of the people. As to any good the odor
will do the widows and orphans and other confiding
stockholders, at whose cost Clay and Webster had prince
ly fees, and political papers were brought up, it will be
like the odor of the cheese in the miser’s closet, to enjoy
which his starveling hoy rubbed his crust against tlie
door.—Charleston Mercury.

Fall ok Acre.—This renowned and hitherto im

Whose walls have braved a thousand years,
The battle and the breeze,
from which Napoleon retired, dispirited and repulsed,
after sixty days of incessant toil anil battle, has been ta
ken by the British and allied forces, after a seige of four
hours. St. Jean D’Acre is associated with many excit
ing recollections—victory, defeat, disaster, knightly prow
ess, battles, seiges, chivalry, infidelity, Christianity. Six
centuries ago, the lion-hearted Richard won this tremen
dous fortress from the Saracen, and it was long the cher

the hands of the Turks, and has to this time been a
stronghold of tlie Infidel. Wheu tlie beseigers obtained
possession of the town, a sight was opened to their view,
awful and appalling. The strength of fortification, tlie
beauty and magnificence of architecture, terrace and Cas
tle, and column, and tower, were mingled in common
ruin. The bodies of every kind of animals, innumera
ble corpses of human beings strewed the earth, while
amidst the mangled and bleeding dead, wandered the
palid living, raving in all the extremities of fright and
grief, and dispair. The greatest destruction was caused
by the explosion of a magazine, which killed over two
thousand persons. The explosion greatly facilitated, if
it did not cause, the rapture of the place. England is
now in possession of the three most celebrated fortresses
of modem times—Malta, Gibralta,and St. Jean D’Acre.
The Convention.
We give in this paper the proceedings of’ a
meeting of the Democratic young men of thi s
county, on Tuesday last, for the purpose ov
appointing delegates and making arrange
ments for the convention to be held here on
the first of Mav.
The objects of the Convention are briefly
alluded to in these proceedings. The com
mendable spirit evinced by our young men in
behalf of Republican principles, in com
ing forward to prepare for a meeting so im
portant and so well calculated to inspire firm
ness and unanimity in their ranks for the suc
cessful overthrow of Federalism in Georgia,
we trust will be responded to and carried out
by the Democratic young men of every county.
While the victors in the late siluggle are di
viding out the spoils at Washington among
Federalists and Abolitionists—while the State
Rights doctrines of the South are abandoned
by her talented representatives in Congress,
and the ultra advocates of Nullification arc
lowering their crest and giving in their adhe
sion to the support of the tariff, reverencing
the “God-like” Daniel, looking with confi
dence and admiration to the father of the gen
eral improvement system, and singing hosan
nahs to the powers that be, and lauding their
friends over the success of their amalgamation
with Bankism, Federalism and Abolitionism,
and even cheering their constituents with the
favors and fastnesses they are to secure from
the new administration, with the distinguished
G RANGER, of Abolition memory at the head
of the Post Office department. Cau the De
mocracy of Georgia remain unconcerned for
the safety and perpetuity of their principles?
No! Now is the time to strike! Now is the
moment when every lover of his country, eve
ry republican young man should be up and
doing, to disenthrall his State from the clutches
of a power and a party whose affiliations and
co-workings, are detrimental alike to the rights
and liberties of the South, and whose princi
ples are destructive to the very existence of a
constitutional government. Let no democrat
be idle—let every one come up to his duty,
with the bouyant spirits and active efforts of
the voting men of the State, assembled in con
vention.—Much may be done—yea, the disen-
thrallment and redemption of the State from
the enemies of the South and southern institu
tions, is accomplished.
l ouas Men’s Democratic iffeeling.
According to previous notice, a respectable number of
the Yonng Men of the Democratic Party, of Baldwin
county, met at tlie Court House, on Tuesday the 2d ilist,
for the purpose of appointing delegates, to represent
the County of Baldwin, in the Young Men’s Conven
tion, to be held in tlie City of Millcdgeville, on tlie first
Monday in May next.
On Motion, Charles D. Hammond, F.sq. was called to
the Chair, and Edward A. Wilcox was appoited Secreta
ry-
The object of the Meeting being explained by Maj.
F. II. Saudford, Thomas D. Harris, Esq. offered the
following Preamble and Resolutions.
Whereas, at a meeting of the Democratic Republican j
party held in tlie Senate Chamber in December last, it
was resolved, that “ a Convention of the Democratic !
Young Men of Georgia be called to assemble at Milledge-
ville, on the first Monday in May next, for the purpose
of adopting such measures as they may deem expedient
for the advancement of Democratic principles.”
And Whereas, we the Democratic Young men of
Baldwin county, relying as we ever have relied on the
justice of our cause, and the rectitude of the principles ot
our party, feci a renewed energy to maintain and defend
those principles although the good people of the country
have been deceived for a time by the illusory promises
of onr adversaries and permitted the government to fall
into the hands of one who has placed Daniel Webster
at the l.e id of bis cabinet and made Francis Granger a
guardian over that avenue by which incendiary publica-
cations find their way into the land, yet we rely on the
the good sense of the people to correct the evils which
Providence for some wise purpose has suffered to be in
flicted for a time on the people of the South—And we
believe that the time is not far distant when the latitudi-
narian principles of the premier aud of Mr. Clay will
produce a revulsion of feeling among the citizens of the
cotton growing States (who must bear the burthen of
their splendid schemes of Tariff and Internal Improve- I
meat) A revulsion that will cause the hetrogeneous
fabric of Federalism to totter to its unliolv fall, and bury
in its ruins those deluded Southern Representatives who
are proving renegades to her interests.
And we believe that the democratic party has but to
be firm and true to itself to form a nucleus around which :
the people will shortly rally aud form a phalanx to demol
ish the ramparts of Federalism.
And Whereas, the Democratic Young Men ofGeorgia,
feel an entliusiam that has only acqnired new energy
from their late defeat and have learned the necessity of
energy and untiring perseverance from their adversaries
in the late political campaign
And VY hercas, we deem it advisable that a meeting
should be held at an early period that onr friends in other
counties may be aroused to early and vigorous action in
carrying out tlie objects of this Convention. Therefore,
lie it resolved. That we cordially approve of the ob
ject for which the “Democratic Young Men’s Conven
tion.” has been called, and will use all honorable means
ill fulfilling tlie wishes aud designs of the party in calling
for the assemblage of that body.
Resolved, That we earnestly cal! on the Young Men
in the several counties to lend their co-operation in carry
ing out this measure.
Re it farther Resolved, That the Chairman appoint a
committee of seven, whose duty it shall be, to select a de
legation of Young Men to represent Baldwin county in
the “ Democratic Young Men’s Convention,” and that
they make their report at a future meeting to be called
by tlie Chairman.
The meeting was addressed by Frederick II. Sanford,
Esq in favor of tlie resolutions, whiefi on motion were
unanimously adopted. The committee named to carry
into effect the last Resolution were Messrs.
Thomas D. Harris, Dr. H'm. A. Jarratt,
O. II. P. Ronncr, Samuel Ruffington, Jr.
Edward Harris, Francis Cullens.
R. D. Jrey.
On motion of B. F. McDonald, the Democaatic pa
pers in this city are requested to publish the proceedings
of the meeting.
The meeting then adjourned to the first Tuesday in
April next.

To His Excellency Charles J. McDonald,
Sir—I have made a careful analysis of the Green Sand
taken in diggingthe new Well at the Penitentiary, thirty
feet below the surface, and find in it tlie following ingre
dients and proportions:
Quantity, 100 grains Troy.
1. Water of absorption, 8 grains.
2. Fine siliceous Sand, 36 “
3. Carbonate of Lime, ■!
4. Protoxide of Iron, “ “
5. Carbonate of Magnesia, 3 “
0. Silica, 24 “
7. Aleumina, 15 “
8. Potassa, 7 “
100 grains.
From the above analysis, it is evident, that if the sub
stance be judiciously applied, it will prove a powerful
stimulant to vegetation in all clayey soils, especially if
there be decaying vegetable matter. The proportion
necessary to be applied, must be determined by trial.—
In inv opinion, which is fouuded on the above, 40 bush
els to the acre would he amply sufficient for the soils of
Milledgeville. Itshould be applied broadcast, and plough
ed, or harrowed in, so as to keep it moist.

Standing Army of New York.—The militia of the State
of New York, number 133.100 men; of these there are
9,082 Artillerists;—7,336 Dragoons and Horse Artille
rists;—5,669 Riflemen;—157,631 of the Infantry, and
3,335 attached to Flank Companies. This is a handsome
standing force, and will be found ‘true to its colors,’
should little Vic “make a judy of herself” about the
North-Eastern frontiers. The editor of the New York
Pioneer is mistaken, however, when he asserts tiiat it is
“some thousands more than the whole force (of both ar
mies,) engaged in the field of Waterloo.” Napoleon
entered tltat field with 79,000 men. and the Allies 120,000.
At noon of that memorable day, the defeated Allies were
reinforced by Billow’s Division of, we think, 60,000 men,
aiid again at eight o’clock in the evening, they were sav
ed from a total rout by Blucher’s 40,000 Prussians.
By a report made to the present Congress,
it appears that 185 steamboat accidents have
occurred within the waters of the United States,
in the last ten years. Number of lives lost,
1733; number of wounded 379. Of these 991
men killed by explosions, collisions and fires
on the Mississippi and its tributaries, and 260
wounded.
Excfcftage.
We extract from the Augusta Constitution
alist of the 4th inst.,-the remarks of the editor
in explanation of the rates of exchange upon
the notes of the different banks, and the table
g)ven of discounts and premiums upon them in
that market. The awfully distressing and ru
inous effects of such a state of things upon the
in terest and prospects of the mercantile and
business part of the community which this ta-
blo presents, can but be obvious to the under
sta nding of every one. But why the great dis
pa rity made between the notes of specie pay-
in g banks of other places and those of Augus
ta, is, to us, in some degree, unaccountable.
It cannot be that the expense and risk of the
t .•ansportation of specie from any bank in the
State to Augusta, is such as constitutes the
difference demanded on their bills as shown in
the table, but a greater want of confidence in
the ability of the specie paying banks continu
ing to redeem their liabilities, seems rather to
be manifested from it than any thing else which
we can infer. The bills of banks which are
discharging their liabilities promptly with spe
cie, and which are considered as solvent as
those of Augusta, we notice are put down at
from 5 to 10 per cent, discount for Augusta
bank notes, and for checks on Charleston or
New York, a still greater loss is required to be
made on them, while Augusta bank notes are
at par with specie, for which, or notes of Au
gusta banks, checks may lie obtained at l£
per cent, on Charleston or New York. But a
still worse, and to most of the debtor class of
the community, a more ruinous feature is pre
sented in this table, for most of the currency
now in circulation, and therefore the greater
portion of what those having occasion to pro
cure exchange have to buy it with, in the dis
count required on the notes of non-specie pay
ing banks. On these notes it seems from a
fourth to the half the face of the bills is the
rate per cent, to be allowed either to pay debt
at Augusta, or to procure the means of doing
so at a distance. But we give the table itself,
from which and the remarks of the Constitu
tionalist, our readers are placed in possession
of the means of judging for themselves the
state of things before them in relation to the
money market at Augusta. This table as ful
ly as any thing else, displays the true charac
ter and design of those who, for years past,
have more or less controlled and endeavored
to regulate the operations of our banks, and of
every one else, so far as exchanges and circu
lating medium is concerned.
We notice in the same paper, an argument
over the signature of “Necker,” which solves
some of the perplexing difficulties in relation
to our currency, and suggest that no bank
should be tolerated for a moment, in any place
in the State, but at Savannah, Augusta, Ma
con and Columbus—that they should be con
fined entirely to commercial places. The
views of this writer in relation to the existence
of Banks in the State and their management
are not surprising, coming from where they
do. This idea of confining hanks to the four
cities, suggests only that things be permitted
to go on in their usual course, and favors a
scheme whose inevitable results must be to
bring down the currency of the State in vas
salage to a central monied power, and finally
to subvert the liberties of the people. This
conflict between the banks, as to who shall be
rulers, and where shall exist the lever to all
circulation in the State, however disastrous to
the interest and welfare of the whole country,
has been waged for some years, and very suc
cessfully on the part of the Augusta banks; but
the revolution so far from being accomplished
in these times of sore calamity and distress
with the people in their monied affairs has on
ly begun. We are now enjoying a short ar
mistice—living in a kind of armed neutrality
of the banks; the final conflict has yet to come;
the shock of the allied forces has still to be
met; the Waterloo field has yet to be fought;
it was only deferred by the catastrophe which
lias recently befallen the banks, a catastrophe
brought on them by tlieir own friends, but or
dained and overruled by a kind Providence,
as the means of opening the eyes of the peo
ple, and alarming them at their perilous con
dition. —
AUGUSTA MARKET, MARCH 4.
Cottox.—Our great staple has been in good demand
since our last weekly report, and prices have advanced
3-8 a 1 cent per. lb. Much of this advance is owing to
the recent favorable accounts from Europe, by the Steam
ship Britania at Boston; but it is in some measure attrib
utable to the cause (still in operation) noticed in our last,
viz: the demand for remittances to the north, &c. The
sales range from 10j to 11 j cents. We have heard of no
sales of prime Cotton this week.

Exchange.—Our money market is still in a confused
state, aud it is hard to tell when a clearer prospect will
opeu before us. In tlie mean time, we shall endeavor to
give some explanations ill regard to the condition of our
money aud exchange affairs. We have latterly received
many letters from the country, requiring better informa
tion than they could derive from tlie tables published in tlie
city papers. In order to comply with such requests, and
to place the subject in a more intciligable maimer, as we
believe, we have made tlie following table, from die best
sources that could be reached. H our country friendscan-
not understand the table, we will herealter be at a loss
how to give them a better one.
In the rates of Bank notes and Exchange here given,
we beg the reader to bearm mind, that Specie is the basis;
so dial die notes of the city Banks of Augusta, beiug
stated at par, it is to be understood, as par for specie, and
notes stated at a discount, it is to be understood dial such
notes are j, 1, 2, 3, or more per cent, below par or spe
cie. With these explanations, we proceed to state, how
tiie following hank notes stand in onr rnarke t:

It will be observed that the rate of exchange on New-
York is 1 j per cent. prem. for specie. So that if you of
fer in payment for such a draft, notes at a discount, ac
cording to the above table, the discount will have to be ad
ded to the premium. For example: if you have Ruckers
ville bonk notes, which are at a discount of 10 per cent,
for specie, yon will have to pay 111 per cent premium for
the draft on New York.
The notes of die Georgia Rail Road Bank, which form
almost exclusively our currency, are taken at onr city
banks, in payment of local paper at par, with one excep
tion. The notes of the other banks of the State are also
taken, except a few of the bonks, the notes of which are
at a large discount.—Constitutionalist 4th inst.
From die Southern Whig.
To the Stockholders of the Georgia Rail Road and
Banking Company.—This Bank, in obedience to the act
requiring the resumption of specie payments, tho’ not
admitting that the penalty for refusing is applicable to us,
under the constitution, in good faith resumed the pay
ment of specie on the 1st inst. Immediately a drain on
our vault commenced to snpply the demand of the West
ern trade. To meet that exgency, we had provided our
selves with Tennessee Btenk notes. But after the re
sumption, these were refused on the ground that the
Tennessee Banks were not paying specie, and that it
could be sold again at a large preminm. Our own peo
ple, in the meantime, were very moderate in their de
mands; not usually going beyond what was necessary
for the purposes of change. So for as they were con
cerned, our receipts of specie exceeded what we paid out
to them.
But as soon as the news of the suspension to the east
ward, and the determination west to remain suspended
spread, alarm became manifest. The run commenced,
and continued with increased intensity up to the second
week. On the 13th, at a meeting of ci tizens in this place,
resolutions were adopted recommending suspension by
all the Banks in Georgia, which resolutions may be seen
in the public prints. On the night of the 14th, we re
ceived notice from Augusta, that large demands for spe
cie, or northern exchange, would probably be made ou
us the next day. They were made, as anticipated. On
Tuesday evening, the Directors then in Athens met, and j
acting on their own convictions as well as on the known
opinions of absent members, then considering that in tlie ■
existing state of excitement, if we continued to pay spe- I
cie, we must soon part with a large part of onr supply,
the consequence of which would have been heavy and
unceasing demands on our debtors for reductions on
their notes, determined to suspend specie payments lor
the present.
The propriety of this determination will be the better
appreciated, when it is known that in two weeks from
the 1st inst. this Bank and its Branch at Augusta suppli
ed the public with between 150 and $200,001) in specie
and specie funds:—and that we still have a supply of
over $100,000 in specie, to enable us to resume, as soon
as another crop shall enable our debtors to fulfil their en
gagements with us.
It is thought proper to add, that if, in this movement,
we had pursued the usual course, we would have con
tinued to pay out our coin, and have proceeded to col
lect, with the least possible delay die debt due us by the
neople. But the effect of such proceeding, it was be
lieved, would be disastrous. Those who owe us live,
chiefly, in that part of the State in which the cotton crop
of the last year was au almost total failure. They can
not pay us what they owe, until they make another crop,
without a sacrifice of property beyond all former exam
ple, w ithin our knowledge. If we had determined to
press them by suit, it is not seen how wide spread min
could have been avoided, occasioned by the sale of pro
perty at ruinous prices.
We have, under these circumstances, determined to
place ourselves before the public and our Stockholders,
as having taken a position demanded by die best interest,
as they believe, of both parties. If we shall succeed in
warding oft, to any extent, the mischief that threatens the
public, from die failure of the cotton crop, it will amply
compensate for a temporary loss we may sustain. For
our Rail Road is dependent on die people; by their
prosperity it must prosper. Ruin them, and it will not
be worth owning; fo, they will be able to make nothing,
to carry on it to market, and, of course be able to buy
nothing to be brought back on it for consumption. We
have taken the position, moreover, with full confidence
in onr ability to pay every dollar of the notes we have in
circulation ; having, beyond all question, in specie, notes,
hills, Rail Road and corporate property connected with
it, over three dollars for one of hills in circulation;—ow*n-
ed by a list of Stockholders numbering near five hun
dred, and consisting of the very bone and rmtscle of the
country, who are both able and willing to sustain the en
terprise in which they have been so long and so ardu
ously engaged.
This circular is addressed to you for the purpose of
putting it in your power to correct any misrepresenta
tions that may be current as to the course we have pur
sued.

From the Richmond Enquirer.
We received the following Card by last evening’s mail,
and hasten to lay it before Air. Hunter’s constituents.—
There is no mistake about this letter. If ever Mr. Hun
ter was a whig, he has un-whigged himself; for he
goes against them on all those great subject; '.Vuich are
to constitute the great whig policy. He has thrown him
self against all their financial schemes—against a Nation
al Bank, a protective Tariff, against Distribution. He
declares himself in favor of ell those great principles
which constitute the political character of Virginia. Mr.
Clay and his clique will find him a very ugly customer.

Washington, Feb. 6th, 1641.
TO MY CONSTITUENTS.
Some time since I announced to you that I had no in
tention of again becoming a candidate for Congress. I
came to tins place with no expectation of changing that
determination. During the winter, however, 1 have re
ceived letters from friends of bodi parties, urging me
to accept a nomination, should I be presented as “ a per
son fit to be voted for by the people generally, and with
out reference to party.” It has been snggestdd to me
that die District desired repose after its late severe con
test, and that I would probably unite many of both par
ties, if I were nominated upon the terms just mentioned,
aud widiout any committal in regard to the future admin
istration, save that of judging it by its measures.
I have replied to these communications by saying, that
I would accept such a nomination from either party, as
it required no sacrifice eitiicr of principle or friends. I
also expressed my desire to see the Republicans of all
parties in the District uniting in support of their common
principles, and declared die high sense in which I should
hold the honor if my name should he selected as the in
strument to effect that purpose. Within die last day or
two, I have received letters apprising me that there was
some difficulty as to the form of nomination; and whilst
my friends assure ipe that many of both parties would
probably desire to vote for me, yet they think that the
readiest mode of inducing those to act together, would
be to declare myself at once a candidate upon die prin
ciples which I have so often avowed, and without refer
ence to party. I do not, I cannot know myself, whether
the state of public opinion in the District justifies these
expectations. I act upon the information given me by
others, and upon what my friends of both parties sup
pose to be the general wish of my constituents. If it be
the desire of the old Republican party in the district to
heal the dissentions by which it has been divided, and to
unite in support of their ancient and long cherished opi
nions, which have constituted all tiiat is distinctive, and
(may I not say ?) nearly all that is great in the political
character of Virginia, I will most cordially co-operate in
effecting that object. I have seen, or at least I think I
have seen, too much of the importance of these great
principles to be unwilling to fraternize with any who
honestly and foitiifiilly maintain them. In accordance,
dien, with what I know to he the wish of some, and
with what they assure me is die desire of many, I now
declare mvself a candidate for the suffrages of the peo
ple generally, and without reference to party. My prin
ciples of public action are unchanged, and the leading
articles of my political faith are so well known to you,
that I need not recapitulate them. I am, as heretofore,
against a United States Bank, a protective Tariff, and a
system of Internal Improvements by the General Gov
ernment.
The opinions which I have formerly avowed to yon on
the various branches of the currency question are un
changed, and I desire to see the proceeds of the public
lands”applied to the current expenses of the General
Government. When I have the pleasure of meeting
you again, I shall be ready to enter into a full explanation
of my views in relation to any odier subjects upon which
you may desire to have my opinions. I will only add
for the present, that I have declared myself for no odier
purpose than to relieve my friends from all difficulty as
to the mode of nomination. I desire nothing but a union
upon principle, which shall be upon terms fair aud equal
to all who hold those principles in common, and to restore
kind relations amongst those who ought not now to lie
divided. If there beany other who in your opinion will
be more likely to bring about these results, I will most
cheerfully give way to him.
If I have now placed myself before yon, fellow-citi
zens, as a candidate for your suffrages generally, and
without reference to party, and with a full explanation of
the ends which I propose to pursue, I have discharged
the duty which I owed to my friends of both parties. If
I have understood the terms upon which they proposed
to vote for me, I am now in a position which l presume
that all of them can do so without further difficulty. If
I have misunderstood them, they have ample time for
other arrangements, and I have shown myself not insen
sible to their supposed wishes, or to those marks of their
confidence and regard, which I shall ever hold in grate
ful remembrance. In conclusion, I am, with many thanks
to you for the past, and
With all respect,
Very truly your friend,
R. M. T. HUNTER.
Steamboat, accidents.—We learn that the
steamboat Somerville, was lately snugged and-
sunk, near the mouth of Arkansas river, on the
Mississippi. The Somerville was an entire
new boat, bailt at New Albany, and cost $35,-
000, of which we understand that $20,000 were
insured. A part of the cargo, the engine and
furniture will probably be saved. The boat is
lost.
The steamboat Western, on her passage
from Cincinnati to New Orleans has been
snagged somewhere on the Mississippi, and
will prove a total loss.— Wheeling Gazette.
YOUNG MEN’S CONVENTION.
The Democratic party will bear in mind
th at this convention assembles in Milledgeville
on tbe first Monday in May next. Meetings
should be called, and arragements made to be
represented in that body, by every county.
An early attention to it will be advisable, as
the proceedings of each meeting that is pub
lished in the newspapers, will serve as a stim
ulant to others, “go and do likewise.”
It has been a great error in tbe Democratic
party to rely altogether on the justice of their
cause and to be too late in doing anything for
its support. They will remember however,
that last May a new party began its organiza
tion in Georgia—without a principle bein<r set
forth, unless a struggle for office be a principle;
a cider barrel was their argument, and hard
times the burden of their song. You smiled
at the impotence of the buffoonery and felt
secure; but were you not defeated at the
election, by that party? Yes, they, began ear-
ly and were indefatigable in their exertions,
while you postponed all action for tomorrow,
and remained supine. Let past experience
then be a warning.
The prospects of the Democratic party are
brightening, at home and abroad. The peo
ple who were deceived by a promise of relief
and of having their debts paid, now see how
they have been practised on. The leaders of
the Harrison party at Washington City disa
gree and quarrel, about the division of the
public money among themselves. Their whole
shapeless fabric is already tottering to an early
fall.—And it but remains to the Democratic
party, to be vigilant, to succeed. We have
fallen—for a time —with tbe principles of the
Baltimore Convention, but with them we shall
rise.—Let every county be up and doing early,
let them send a full delegation to the May
Convention, to represent their feelings, and to
return to their homes with a new ardour in
the cause ; a glow of enthusiasm, that shall
warm into a heat in October that will consume
the prospects of their courtier candidate for
the Gubernatorial cliair.—Macon Telegraph.
A FIRE COAL ON A TERRAPIN’S BACK.
Charleston has never been unmindful that
tbe Georgia Bail-Road is to be her principal
evenue of trade. And in tbe embarrassments
of that corporation, she has felt it to be her
interest to put forth a helping hand. But the
intelligence has probably never wended its
slow way to Savannah, that she was at all in
terested in the success of the Monroe Rail
Road. There is a man of no ordinary
force of character, who has waisted the flow
er of his days in this enterprise, which was
to have poured wealth into Savannah, and yet
have not his calamities been mocked? Sa
vannah has not seen any identity of interest
with him, but wlieu a certain coal burns deep
er through her epidermis, perhaps it may be
felt.
The citizens of Charleston have secured
the right of passing over the Savannah river
at Augusta, and will shortly join the South
Carolina and Georgia Rail Roads. Charles
ton has also advanced to the Georgia Rail
Road, sufficient money to sustain the Bank
and to complete the Rail Road to the terminus
of the Western and Atlantic Rail Road The
entire work is to be put under contract im
mediately, and urged on to completion with
vigor. It is rumored also that Charleston de
sires to purchase a controlling interest of
stock, in the Monroe Rail Road, and for what
purpose would you suppose? Why to aban
don tlie work, to divert the trade that was to
have gone to Savannah, and centre it
Charleston! Does the ancient city of Ogle
thorpe feel the fire through lier shell now?
Or will she fold her arms and wait longer?
Let Savannah continue to indulge in tbe
dreams of her past and present greatness, in
which she enjoys a monopoly—and forget that
there is any world beyond the corporate lim
its of “the city of Savannah and tbe hamlets
thereof;” let her dream on a few months more
and the solitary quiet of Petrae and the vision
ary power of the Turk will be hers in fee
simple forever after.
Be it distenctly understood, these remarks
do not proceed from a pen pointed by the
loadstone of interest, they are merely passing
comments on facts and probabilities.—ib.

LATER FROM EUROPE.
ARRIVAL OF THE STEAMER BRITANNIA.
This steamship arrived at Boston yesterday
morning and this morning we receive by the
steam boat from Providence, the intelligence
brought by her.—These dates are from Liver
pool to the 4tli, London to the 3rd, and Paris
is the 1st instant.
The British Parliament assembled on tbe
20th ult. and was opened by tbo Queen in
person. Her speech on this occasion is more
remarkable for what it does. The absence of
all allusion to the State of the relations be
tween England and France is tlie omission to
which we have reference. It is stated in the
French papers that the English ministry had
inserted in the original draught of tlie speech
a friendly paragraph towards France, but that
a few hours before the opening of Parliament
an account of two projects of law presented to
the Chamber of Deputies, the one calling for
a levy of SO,000 recruits, and the other provid
ing for the organization of an army of reserve
had been received and was the cause of the
studied silence observed in the speech.
The debate on the fortifications of Paris in
the Chamber of Deputies of France, had been
very animated and had not yet terminated.
The opposition to the Guiot administration
continues fierce and unrelenting
The affairs of Syria are definitively settled,
and it has been announced in Parliament that
the Turkish fleet has been given up to Mehe-
met Ali, and the Sultan has granted the here
ditary sovereignty of Egypt to the Pacha.
There are no further accounts from China,
the latest appear however to be generally cred
ited.
Our private correspondence from London
is full and interesting on the state of commer
cial moneirary affairs.
Since the arrival of the packet ship of the
20th the cotton markets of Liverpool and Lon
don have been advancing at a rapid rate. In
London large sales of East India cotton have
taken place at an advance of fully J per cent.
Since tlie arrival of the intelligence from
China, the market for teas has not revived from
the crushing fall which then took place—the
quotations for Company’s cargoes being no
higher than 1 64 per lb.
The severity of the weather is very great,
and numerous shipwrecks and other dreadful
disasters have occurred. One of the most
shocking wrecks which has occurred for some
years took place on Friday last at the Scilly
Isles, being that of tlie Thames, a steamship
from Ireland to London. Out of 65 passen
gers only four have escaped—being three fe
males and one a seaman.
The last four New York packets have all
fallen in with wrecks and brought the crews
safely to land.
An unfortunate accident occurred at Bolog-
ne on the 15th of Jan. The French steamer
from London to Bologne not being able to en
ter the harbor on account of its being low tide,
several persons undertook to go ashore in a
boat with the mail bag3, and among the rest an
American named Webster, of Virginia:—un
fortunately the boat t wamped, and Mr. Web
ster was drowned.
The steamer President was to sail on the
10th with full freight, and a large number of
passengers. . ,
The packet ship Sheffield carrying out the
President’s Message, arrived at Liverpool on
the 14th January.
Death or the Amexicah Consul in
France.—Died on Sunday evening January
31, in Paris in the 68th year of bk age, of
typhoid exhaustion after gout,—Daniel Brent,
Esq., Consul of tho United States of America
fori Paris, and agent of American claims.
Terrible devastation bad been caused in
various Barts of England, and also on the con
tinent, by inundations, resulting from sudden
thaws.—At Brentford the bank and the locks
of tbe Grand Junction Canal gave way, and
the waters overspread the country, destroying
great quantities of property and several lives.
At Greenwich the streets were inundated,
and tbe cellars were filled with water. Wind
sor also was overflowed, and the destruction
of property for many miles around was most
extensive.
At Watford the inhabitants were obliged to
take refuge in the upper rooms of their houses.
The Accounts are similar from Essex, Wilts,
Sunderland, and indeed almost all the mid
land counties. Salisbury Plain was swept by
the inundation. At Sunderland great quan
tities of shipping were destroyed. The floods
extended also to Scotland, and similar accouuts
were received from France, &c.
From Bell's Messenger.
New War Steamers.—Of the five new war
steamers ofa large class which have been built
in lier Majesty’s dockyards, and are to be im
mediately fitted for active service, the first has
arrived in the river, and is now lying at the
Isle of Dogs, whereon Wednesday her boilers
were put on board. She is a most majestic
vessel, of the same class as the Cyclops and
Gorgon, lately found so effective in active ser
vice. She is to be fitted with two engines, of
140 horse pott er each, and her tonnage is about
1400, She is named the Driver, and is alrea
dy commissioned, a great part of the crew being
now on board assisting toward her completion.
It is said that slie will be furnished with two 9S
pound guns on her upper deck, working on
swivels, besides other guns of a large calibre
on her lower deck. The steam power of the
Driver is 200 horse power, each engine less
than the Cyclops and the Gorgon; but tbe pe
culiar build of the vessel and the improvements
in the engine will, it is stated, place her on a
perfect equality with those war steamers.
The temper of the British in Canada to
wards us will be seen iu the following:
From tbe Montreal Herald.
Sucli behavior as this to Bridsh-subjects is
really carrying the joke too far, and Ameri
cans may yet find that forbearance has its pro
per limit, when they sec their frontier cities in
ashes, as they will assuredly do if they continue
their mad career. The American Government
must, like every other, be amenable to the law
of nations, and the time is now about gone by
when the disreputable and dishonest plea will
be recognised, that the General Government
is not liable for the offence committed by indi
vidual States.
The United States at present presents a most
extraordinary spectacle of a living libel on
“freedom of speech, of person and of property
• -a disgrace of human kind.”-
The Toronto Patriot sounds “a loader yet.
and yet a louder strain”—as in the words fol
lowing, to-wit:
“We hear no mention of Fire, Famine, and
Slaughter, reigning over their maritime fron
tier—no supposition of the possibility of the
bombardment of New York, Boston, or Balti-
timore, by the unrivalled navy of England, as
sisted by their immense steam marine; no
glimpse of burning cities and massacred thou
sands haunt the eyes of the enlightened Amer
ican. Alas! the retrospection of a few years
would have added to his dream the memorial
phantoms of a blazing metropolis flinging its
red light over the waters of the Potomac, and
successive armies, fondly" equipped for con
quest, hurrying back in dismay and defeat from
the free forests of tbe royal Canadians.”
This last allnsion can hardly have any refer
ence to Proctor and his Indian allies.
Envy—“Envy is like a sore eye, inflamed
by every thing brilliant or dazzling.”
Friendship.—“Friendship is to esteem, what
the flower is to the stem that sustains it.”
Thought.—“Thoughts that the tongue takes
hours to tell, glance quick as lightning through
the soul.”
Music.—“We love it for the buried hopes,
the garnered memories, the tender feelings it
can summon with a toneb.”
