THE COMMENCEMENT. The auuuai Commencement exercises of the University of Georgia, falling upon the week now just closing, our town has presented an exciting and animated spectacle. Crowds of our follow citizens from different portions of the 8 tale, have thronged here in even more than their usual numbers, and eucouraged by their presence the efforts ot the youthful aspirants for literary dis tinction. On Sunday, the Commencement Sermon was preached by the Rev. Prof. Presslv, to a nume rous and highly interested congregation. It was a chase, elegant and appropriate discourse, wor thy the ’.aleuts of the speaker, and breathing scu- liments that didhouor to the man and Christian.

Let not the , glitter of wealth deter yon from your duty.—and whe- 1 tliar you conquer or fall, the heart-warm smiles of your neighbors will be your reward, and the gentle whis pers of peace your recompense. Are there notpo- tent evidences of the force of public sentiment evinc ed by the press, in the recent publication of certain “Letters,” forced into type at this late hour? Let Justice, in the “Charleston Observer." of the 9th July, answer this—or be answered by it. Will not this lever, public opinion, lift the we ; ght from the flood gates of truth, and its sweeping cataract wash a- way the polution which swims on its surface ? E fit us acta probat! Already by the communication to which I reply, and otber paragraphs, do we see the eagle- eyed politician, ready'to pounce upon every object which may subserve bis selfish ends.—but for one sol itarytime, perchance! let him learn, that party-poli tics and opinion are swallowed up in this memorial and unanimity and nobleness of natire is its materiel. If the friends and supporters of it are wrong, they will feel happier in the proof that they aie so, than by any other result. The devoted Unionist, and the honest State Right ci tizen have shaken the cordial hand of friendship on this question, and hand in hand, to the Cougress of the country has gone up the peliiton of an insulted people ‘ May it be heard! VERITE SANS PEUR. Our citizens will bear in inind that agreeable to a "late Ordinance of Council, there will he nothing of fered for sale at the market in future on Sunday. The Public Market will be kept open on Saturdays, from day-light, until 9 o’clock at night—Sue. Rep. oth inst. So it appears the evil gqnius of Savannah has at last prevailed, and the city is doomed! The custom founded on expediency, on necessity ; under which the city has grown up; of allowing the market to bo kept on Sunday mornings from daylight till 8 o’clock; is to be abolished! Tiie whole city must hereafter keep leaf, or eat putrid flesh on Suudays; the small grocers, who have been the life of the city, are to be broken up t the negroes on the plantations for thirty miles round are to be deprived of the opportunity of selling the small proceeds of their industry; and the whoh population of the city must be deprived of grits and vegetables, or purchase thorn from forestalled at an exorbitant price! In a word, the prosperity of the city roust he sacrificed at the united shrine of super, atition and monopoly. True, the market will be kept open till 9 o’clock on Saturday nights : But will that supply the elipsis l We think it will not; but will bring otUerevils greater thin those it is attempted to remove. It will deprive many an honest negro from reaching the market in season with his wares; and it will give many a dishonest one an opportunity to prowl abuut and prey upon the city all night; it will give rise to various frauds, that can more advantageously be carried on by night than by day; the market will not be so well supplied; forestalling will be practised; monopolies will be built up—hence, the most necessa ry articles of consumption will be dearer in price. This measure, added to tfio thousand and one mo nopolios and restrictive regulations slie was laboring under before, tending to discourage industry and en terprise, will forever prevent that city from taking the rank among the cities of the country that the public ■pint of her citizens and her great uatural advantages entitle herto.

O magna vis ccrilatis l Mr. Editor—To render common justice to all who are concerned, I respectfully solicit the use of youi columns in reply to an anonymous writer in the Co lumbus Sentiuel of the 22d Juiv. under the head “Cor respondence,” and dated “Washington City, July 3,” wherein the writer has (as he undoubtedly supposes from his opinionated style) cast quitu a neat und biting sarcasm on n joint memorial from the people of Geor gia and Alabama, to tbe Congress of the United Slates on the Creek Indian question. It would consume too much time, and I have but little inclination to reply to newspaper paragraphs tchen entirely political, as I deem the one to which I niu now wasting ten minutes, which might bo more profitably employed, did I take up and correct nil the errors or lais-stauments from the Wash ington communicant, but in order solely to disabuse the public mind, I shalfpoiut out one gross nnd desig.1- ‘ cd misrepresentation in his political diatribe. He states that the memorial is signed by the citizens of Chambers co. Ala.chiefly He has had the instrument in his own hands and knows this is not Hue, although u large aud respectable portion of the citizens of that prosperous county did signature the memorial, yet Troup county, Ga. and Tallapoosa, Ala. are by far the greatest niunherofsigners, and 20,000 highly re- npectable names might have been added had tiineal- lowed—and had the Washington correspondent but run his coup d'oeil over the list, he might have repor ted fifty names who would have done him honor tp have classed among his friends. Does lie mean to insinuate that this document had i ts rise from the gentlemen whose names by accident hehded the list, if so. he is laboring under a fatal error, and we are forced, from the drilt and intent of this se cret ed politician, to Hft our feeble pen in refutation. May ho always give ns so easy a task as at this time. Let him remember that side-way, fearful and indefinite invective, has only admirers among the m oboe racy of the country, and meets, as it ought to do, the derision and contempt of the wiser portion of tbe community. The memorial will shortly bo printed in proper form, with nil the signatures, a copy being in the hands of a gentleman of Georgia, and then the public at large will see its material, and who, besides the Irst signer is concerned, and then the writer will have a more ar duous task, bitt more adventitious opportunity to de light the tor populi with his prolific pen, “Thrice are they armed who have their qnarrel just,’’ and senseless, sen-refuting, newspaper politick jar gon, is like the morning mist, which lingeis but to be swallowed up in the.rays of a superior power, melting nway unnoticed and niifel:. For once, we assure this nnd nil other opposers of justice, that the memorial had i la rise from men of honest, honorable feeling. It was brought into existence from the pure voice .and supplication of a suffering and injured people—from the worth, if not the wealth of the country. Vcrite, sansprur, i* its motto, and the combined hosts of in terested faction and individual strength must twist their blent ingenuity to the very acme of greatness to plcte ; and from one other county, which gave G< ernor Spaigbta majority of 2,321 votes.

They bring the news of the burning of cape Florida Light House, and the keeper’s house hy Indians, on the night of the 24th instant. A man, named W.

On the approach of the Indians (supposed about forty) they retired to the Light, (after beiug fire at) and asceuded to the top. closing tho door. The Indians then fired *he door, which very soon communicated to the steps. The heat ascending obliged Thompson and the negro to go outside aud lie down on the deck or top'of the Light, during which, as the heat in creased aud commenced melting the glass in the windows, to gain a little, they pushed themselves towards the evedrops of the deck, when tho ne gro was immediately killed, five balls passed tbro’ him ; Thompson put his foot over aud in a few seconds had three halls in it; be had a keg of powder with him; fearing it would blow up he threw it down the steps, which immediately blew them up; by which accident his life was saved.■ The Indians, uot willing to give him up, tried for a long time to ascqnU hy the lightening-red, and did not ascend ahme 40 feet, when they gave it up. The Motto was at anchor about nine miles to ibe west of the cape when they observed the fire, about eight o’clock at night. The next day they lauded, hutfound the Iudians were goue.

A Frenchman contrived to set fire 10 the blockhouse and the wind being high, the flanges spread with great rapidity The veils of defiance of the inmates could be heard amidst the crackling of the flames, nnd they could be seen calmly and deliberately watching an op portunity through the smoke and flames, 10 bring down their opponents with their rifles, of whom they killed eight and wounded several. The Duchamps, with the exception of a few small children were com pletely exterminated. Adctrtising.—It is curious to hear the complaints made when a bill is presented for advertising which has, by the neglect ofthe advertiser himself, run up to an amount which appears rather large: whereas there are no accounts whatever which can he so easily com puted by both parties. Every paper ha* its rates pub lished in every number; the list is always before the reader. The price is precisely so touch for a certain number of lines, (say 8, 10,12, or 15, according to the size of the type and width of the colmuii. being so ar ranged as to make the same number of letters)—it is further published that all advertisements not marked to. the contrary, will be inserted until forbid, und charg ed accordingly- The account can be fiir more defi nitely arranged than any merchant’s account, mid yet it is uot at all uncommon to hear of the “ rascally ac counts made out by the printers!” We have now on hand numerous accounts some of them not falling far short of §100 for single advertise- j meats of merely one and two squares, which, whenever vve present them, we are told by the advertisers, are “most enormous” and that “the ndvertisemen! had not been worth to them a half or a quarter of the amount,” &C- But whose fault is it? Certainly not the printer’s! He has advertised his rates and his rules—rules which are actually necessary to the carrying on of his busi ness; and every man who advertises with those rules and rates before him voluntarily enters into a contract to which he is legally bound and has no right, legal or moral, to object. Look at the disadvantages of a con trary system to the printer. He never can tell how he stands with the world—whether he can venture to im prove or enlarge his paper; in fact, he never can even balance his books ! Now what would a merchant say if he found himself in this predicament 1 Suppose he should sell apiece of cloth for §10 per yard, and when he presented his bill be told that the cloth had not been Iff AC ON ACAIIEMJ Fesuiure j.^t J his frH'talsand tin-pfrMir fiaiA'- intend}? fo r***opf n l l or you Up?

And yet we should like some one to point us out the difference in the two cases; for we profess tve are not metaphysi cians encugh to discoverit.—Xatchcz Courier. “It is 6aid that Mr. Lane of Indiana, has nearly abandoned the Van Buren party.”—Reading Gaz.

Mr. John F. Watts, in the 24th year of his age, leaving an afflicted widow to deplore tho loss of a kind and indulgent husband. It is a source of consolation to reflect that nothing was wanted that medical skill could devise, that conjugal tenderness could dictate, or the attention of sympathising friends could effect to alleviate bis sufferings aud insure his recovery. Tho deceased was a worthy member of society; his manners were mild and unassuming; his conduct in life was regulated by tho strictest integrity of purpose, and he enjoyed the esteem and confidence of his fellow-men. His attention however, was evi dently directed to higher objects—the testimony of an approving conscience and the approbation of his Mi.- ker. Having embraced the religion of the Lord Je sus Christ, he evidenced his sincerity by conforming to the precepts of the gospel. & adorning the doctrines of Him, whom ho professed to follow. Experiencing, no doubt,-that support which religion only can give, through tiie up country last summer. The above re ward will be paid fur his arrest if lodged in a sale jail so I get him. Y. S.
