At these dries, the increase of lire fever was alarming, and its limits were extend ing far beyond Ihc bounds to which il had bean previously confined.

What had the Americans done ?” Lord Londonderry interrupted him with this S hrase ; " What have (hey dune ?” Mr. [right proceeded thus i •' What had they done ? Why, they had taken piratical ships; hanged the pirates, liberated Bri tish vessels, and sent ships of war inh) the teas lur the protection of commerce. It was said there were also British vessels of war, but how waa it that they were never in (he right spot ? It was singu lar that in these cases, American vessels had been in sight, French vessels had been in sight, but never once an English vessel of war.” 1 Ire New-York Board nf Health, in an addreia to their fellow citizens, contained in the Aw- pieces by privule foudl i and that she neither | Tork'F, veiling Post ofthe 13tli Inat slate that eqjoyt that peace at home, nor respect shroud, to which «le ia entitled by the inlrlllgenco of her cithraa.'* The (biding here express ed ia mil entertained alone uut ofthe state.

II is lament** bio that the mcriti of evety question -which writes within our slate ilunild be tested, not by "its rest magnitude, but by the effects which it -may litve on the interests or ii.fluence of the leader of a party—that the interests ofthe peo ple should kick die beam, vlien those of a Ike. tlonlit are placed in the opposite scale. The violent peuPinnl animosHiea which exist, render our party feelings mere virulent thun are gen erally cnttrtainsffity those who hold office sod Jliose who seek for it-and our ambitious spirils are not only goaded on by a desire to partici pate in the loaves and fishes, but to overthrow and degrade an enemy. While this virulence of feeling exists, It is in vain to expect that the ■state of Georgia will attain the rank “to-which •he is entitled by the Intelligence of her citl- asm.” Every measure, no matter how trifling in its oonsequences, in which' the leaders of either party are interested, is made the subject ofvltupenthm and violence, and in the contest 4eeerum, dignity and propriety are sacrificed. ‘In the recent affair at Milledgeville and tire pub. licaliona consequent upon it, this remark ia par tlcularly exemplified. For some of them we blush, tn speaking thus we we aware that we may not be ot the popular sidfoftlie question; but wo know that the candid and patriotic will join with ns in opinion t and u-e do hope that in lime the majority of our Oillow-citlaens will entertain the same aentimenta. tvhon this ■la the caae, we shall anon see the necessary change. To be sensible of our errors-is to lake the'flvat atop to correct them-and our eauac being the cause of the people, upon whose good sense we safely rely, we must succeed in our object—that of redeeming the character of Abe state end placing hor upon the footing to 'Which she ia entitled. A number of sailors in New-York,' recently proceeded to Rutger* street whaif, with drums besting and flag.

This was thought too little, and their object waa to oblige the captain to raw* the wages to the usu al standard, and to enlist an additional number of men. The aherilT and his assistants were, however, sueceaslul in quelling the riot befutc any injury was done, 10 far at laaal, is not inf. utious in a lioulliiy at. moaphere.” There is no merit in this declaration. .The physicians in New-York, and one or two ofthe editors who take "pun themselves to direct publio opinion, anti who, In tile face of every evi dence and assurance, -have so pertinaciously maintained a contrary doctrine, when ilsglaring falsehood is dsily*exhiblted to their eyes, and the lenses ofall around them, now come forward and toll their fellow oituens that there is no contnfion in yellow-fever—a truth self-evident lo every man who is not blinded by obstinacy or the maintenanee of a false theory. We hope hereafter, that the unnecessary restrictions plac ed upon commerce will at least in some degree be modified—and that passengers from healthy purls may be permitted to join their families wltli not more than half the amoking, white washing ami airing hitherto p’escribed. We arc tioi disposed to be ill-natured in this lime of distress, with Ihe board of health of New-York, and we have no objection toetich regulations as are consistent with their perfect safety-but we do hope, as no reason exisis for alarm irom per- atm" contagion, that hereafter passengers and merchants will he delivered in the shortest poa- siblc time front the delays and vrxntiona they have been subjected to inconsequence ofthe exploded theory. An article in an Alabama paper, after allow, ing to general Jackson all the credit awarded to him by hifenuntry, for his military services, but declaring him not so well qualified to aot in a civil capacity, concludes with expressing a hope that "i/Af be mailo J’trritient, ho will Alloy every'scoundrel In H'nihington within Jive nun, liter nfter his inauguration," Cotton.—Sumo seeds of this plant were put into thaground nt Camden, N. J. in May last, and on the 1st Sept. inat. a part of it waa ma turely ripened ami fit to gather. Cotton will no doubt grow in aeyeral parts of ■the United States in -which it la not now culti vated. Hut the cultivation in those parts can never be bruughtlinto competition with that raised by Blaves. The cost of production by hiied laborers, will, at the present low.price of the article, nuder it a losing business. The ahock of an^sgthquake-wu felt in Low er Canada on the 24ih uit. which lasted two or three ascends. The atone houses were moat •fleeted, it giving them a tremulnqa motion, nnd seemed to move the stones; and grind them againat each other. At Mucbec there was a slight degree of frost on tho mornings ofthe 18th.and30th uit. In the mummory at tho coronation of Ytur- bide, the archbishop and bishops of the empire acted a conspicuous part. We arc much mis taken if the new emperor is not one ofthe most priest-ridden ol tite race at the present day. He evidently relies upon their support more than upon the unbiassed opinions ofthe people. The protection of tile church, and not of the people, b the principal obligation of his oath i and with becoming humility, lie promiaes to render to the llithn/is tho honor which is their due, and to keep inviolable ail those tilings which kings and emperors have conceded and willed to the ehuroheo. Promises generally easily made are eas ly broken f but In this instance the rule will not traverse-the established church of no na tion has ever yet been found willingly tn sur render what haa once been obtained by it from the fears or follies or its votaries. The follow ing is the oath taken by Yturbideat Ills corona tion, alluded to uliovc: "I. Augustin Yturhide, entering asa servant of God, into the command of the empire, do protest ami promise before' Goo and Ills angels, from henceforth, through 'divine gt»ce, and to the best of toy knowledge and utility, to ob serve and keep law,. Justice and peace In the dliurch of God, and among all the people my subjects,'knd to put in force whatever the council ortho faithful may conceive most fitting and lieBt. I also promise to render to the bish ops of the church the hunor Which ia their due, as ordained by the In.ly canons i and tu respect as Inviolable nil those things which kings and emperors have conooded and willed to the churchea.” I lie coronation of Ytiirbitle has disgusted a great portion ofthe inhabitants of Mealco— when they ure called upon to pay the cost bf this imperial foolery, this sentiment will Increase. It will p tszle the new Pope and Ids college ofcardinalsto stifle the breeze which will be raised, and we shall not be st all surprised If he yet discovers to his cost how "Uneasy lies the -head that wears» crown'.’’ •C/iarletltm, Sept. 23.—By letters re eived yesterday from Bemfort, on the subject of the arrest of certain slaves, charged with attempting to excite an in surWclion, it appears that a highly rea pcctable court had been organized for tho trial of eight Slaves, accused of that of fence. After n patient investigation of two days, they were acquitted, the courl being perfectly saflsfied of their inno cence. It appeared, however, to the court, that the fellow who implicated the others had been attempting to involve them in treasonable acts. The court held Ilia case still under advisement. It did not appear that these transactions had any connection with the recent conspiracy in this place. It is highly gratifying to find that tlicro is no just ground for uneasiness on ac count uf our friend* in Beaufurt, while the result of these proceedings afforda addi tional evidence of the-calmness, delibera tion and perfect justice, with which cases of this nature are investigated in South Carolina. An instance nf singular courage, and eacupe from dunger,occurred at Pine.llill nn the 14th inst. A little son ol Mr. Spratt’a, alumt 4 years old, whilst playing near the mouth of a well, 37 nr 38 Icct deep, accidentally alipt and fell iutu the water; there lie remained for some mi- nutea, when a negro girl who was washing near, with admirable presence of mind descended Ivy the bucket rape, and catch ing the child, the placed him safely in the bucket. She then climbed up by the atones and carefully drew the fortunate | infant tn life lop of the well, alive end sale—nt. Oaz.

Captain Driggs, of tho schooner Abi gail, sailed from Xihara, Cuba, sn Ihe 20lh tiny uf August. Next morning, ufl' Key Kutuain, saw a schooner which gave chase. When within about a league, we prepared fur action, all hamU (12 men and 3 buys) being ready to defend the vessel tu the last moment. At sunset she fired a gun, winch we returned. Soon after she fired iigniu, when we inok in sail, and every man waa stationed at his post. She came up on our weather quarter,.within pistol shot, hauled up her foresail, fired three guna and musketry without hailing us, She appeared full of men. We commenc ed a fire upon her, nnd in about an hour shot away her fore-yard, and fore-gtft. She then ceisad firing, and hailed in Spa uish, which we answered by telling our character, and demanding to know his; they made no reply. We commenced firing again—she fia-d another gun, and stood lift Capt. Smith, who was-an board, received a musket-ball through his onn. At daylight next day, ,we made sail, and found our fore anti .fore topsail braces shot away ; 22 shot hqd hulled uo, and 3 went through below the deck—much other damage done—3 shot lodged in the arizen mast, which with the lore topmast are unfit for further service. The maiasnil hud 48 shot holes through it. Wo must have killed u good many of the ermv, as we were sn near as to hear their cries. Capt.

" From preaent appearances it is pot. sibie we may have a civil war among us, The debility of the present Government* and the bail administration of juatice, hna permitted large bodies of tho disaffected i tounile together, and it is doubtful whe-i; t ier' they can be crushed.
