' Tis the star spangled banner, oil, long may it wave. O'er the land of llie free and the borne of the brave.” FEDERAL UNION. tm.LKBfiEVILLE, XARCIi 9, 1841. UjF* The advertising of tlie SHERIFF’S SALES of Wilkinson county, will in future be done in the Federal Fnion. ZT The able Report of Mr. PICKENS, of South Carolina, in the House of Representatives of the L niled Stans, from the committee of Foreign Affairs, will be found in our paper of to-day. The last number of “ The Fanners Register.” under its summary of news, refers to the President’s Cabinet, speeches its members, and dismisses the subject with the following significant remark: “ We may presume to say that every great interest, class, or party, that aided in the election of General Har rison, is represented in this Cabinet, except the States Right men.” The Farmers Register is conducted hv a geutleman who is understood to be a \\ big, but a States Right Whig of " the Republican p rtion of the Whig party.” CTr" James T. Morehead has been elected Senator in Congress, by the Legislature of Kentucky, in place of Mr. Crittenden, declined; and Rufus Choate has been elected by the Legislature of Massachusetts, Senator in Congress, in place of Mr. Webster, resigned. 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. Gali.ipoi.is Bank—Whicuerv.—The editor of the Journal is determined to get his friends into difficulties. Well, be it so. No. 1. THOMAS EWING and SAMUEL F. VINTON, two Whig lawyers, gave a long written opinion, that a charter of this bank was still in forre and full effect. On this opinion it was put in operation 1 \\ ill the Journal dare deny this ! No. 2. THOMAS EWING and Co. have been BORROW ERS of this Gallipolis Bank, and it is said now own it! For this act of legal lore and financial skill, old Tip has thought him worthy to become Secretary of the Nation al Treasury ! So much for that.—Ohio Statesman. HEAR OLD ENGLAND. The British Whigs across the water are in extacicsat the success of General Harrison.— Hear them: From the Morning London Herald. “Tlie election of General Harrison to the Presidency of the United States is an event DEEPLY INTERESTING TO ENG LAND. “Mr. Van Buren was the deadly enemy of (Ireat Britain. He stimulated the various crusades against paper money. He headed the conspiracies that were formed for the pur pose of defrauding England creditors out of the debts due to them by America. Ho was the abetter of treason in Canada. HE PROMPT ED RESISTANCE TO THE JUST CLAIMS OF ENGLAND IN REFER ENCE TO THE NORTHERN BOUN DARY QUESTION. “The SYMPATHIES of General Harrison POINT, we believe, IN A DIRECTION THE REVERSE OF THAT TO WHICH THE PREJUDICES OF MR. VAN BU REN INCLINED. “The election of General Harrison is, in short, a result ON WHICH ENGLAND MAY CONGRATULATE HERSELF.” Fall ok Acre.—This renowned and hitherto im pregnable fortress, 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 ished abode of the knights of St. John. It since It'll into 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. CHARLES D. HAMMOND, Chairman. Edward A. Wilcox, Secretary. Geological Department, \ Millkdgevii.i.e, Jan'y. 28, 1841. ) 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. JOHN RUGGLES COTTING. State. Geologist. 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. LIVERPOOL CLASSIFICATION.

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: par. 25 per cent. dis. 7 7 5 5 1 5 I 5 5 16 i South Carolina, Augusta Insurance and Banking Company, Bank of Augusta, Brauch State Bank, in Augusta, Agency, Bank of Brunswick, 1 branch Georgia Rail Road, Mechanics Bank, Bank of Darien and Branches, Bank of Hawkinsville, Bank of St. Marys, Bank of Milledgeville, Bank of Columbus, Bank of die State of Ga. at Sav.

Charleston, sight i “ Savannah, sight 1 “ 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. By order of the Board, WM. DEARING, Pres't. Athens, Feb. 20, 1841. 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. Mr. H. shows himself to be a State Rights man—aud at a time when such men are wnnting to save die Republic. We, for one, give him the warm right hand of Fellow ship : 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. From the New York Courier Sf Enquirer. 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.” MARRIED. At Darien, on Thursday 25th February, by the Rev. John Winn, Mr. Samvel M. Street of Darien, to Miss Mary Alma Hatheway of New Bedford Massa chusetts. v In this city, on the 1st instant, in the 56th year of his age, Peter Bennoch, a native of Galloway, Scotland, and a resident of Augusta for 36 years, during which time he was extensively known as one of onr most upright and intelligent merchants. Few men were more useful in their day—few more esteemed—and none more regretted. [.Aug Chronicle 4th inst. Ye 11114; Men’s Convention.
