It, h wvever, was more animated yesterday—a good deal was in. competition was brisk, and sales were ef fected at 17 cents. Principal sales at 16£ a 16). ID" Our subscribe' in Crawford, who complains of not getting his paper nftener than once in three weeks, is informed, that it ia punctually forwarded to him from this office every Thursday, in the Knoxville pac ket. If it does not reach him, it is the fault of Uncle Sam. or some of his strikers, and they should be held responsible We have lost many a good subscriber through the carelesneas or knavery of Uncle Sam’s men; it is time they were overhauled. Such subscri bers as do not get their papers on enquiring at the post-office for them, should observe the hints which went the rounds of the newspapers tome months ago; and we doubt not the evil would be stopped. After a long spell of dry. dusty weather, it set in to rain on Sunday night; and continued with little inter mission all Monday and Menday night. Though a good deal of rain fell, owing to the great droughtiness of the earth, which absorbed it as fast as it touched it3 surface, we fear it will scarcely affect our river, which needs it an much. The weather has become cool enough to render a fire neoessary; though we have seen no frost since the morning of the 5th.

From the coun ties beard from, this ticket is about 2010 votes, be hind ; and the probability is, that the remaining coun. ties will not materially vary the result. However much this result is to be deplored, we can not say it was alloge-.her unexpected. Premonitions of unsuccess were felt fiom the first; and they con tinued to strengthen as the contest approached. Though we have lost (probably,) our Congressional Ticket, it by no means indicates a decline of the Union party A great many causes may be assigued for our temporary defeat, which cannot operate at any future election. We shall still have a majority iu the Legis lature—still wield the power of the State; and may still preserve its institutions from ruthless violence.— This temporary reverse will but tend to make us more united, more firm and more invincible, at any succeed ing struggle. We repeat it, the stability of the Union party was never on a firmer basis than now: the cloud that at present overshadows its prospects will soon be dissi pated; when they will appear with tenfold brightness. The present defeat argues nothing against the success of theircandidate for the Presidency. Any one who remembers the disadvantages under which our ticket la bored, all the abuse heaped upon it, all the charges it had to coutend against; will be surprised, not that it was defeated; but. that it ran so well! Identified as the Ticket was, with Martin Van Bunn and Richard M. Johnson, it had to bear, besides it* own sins, (which, God knows, were made to appear black e- nough!) their sins also! And when we consider how very odious these names were made to appear, and the early antipathy of many of the party to them, e-en this defeat may be considered a triumph. It shows how strong Van Buren is in Georgia; and with how little exertion he may get the vote of the State. Let our friends be 'admonished by the recent Elec tion ; Let them not feel too secure in the strength of numbers, norin the justice of their eause ; but been ergelic and active—feel determined to succeed—and succeed they will. Among other causes, the death of Gen Coffee had considerable influence in defeating the Union Con gressional Ticket A friend writes to us from Telfair, that “Gen. t oflee’s death; and the opposition having no candidates out; caused a very thin elution in Tel' fair and Irwiu counties.” P. S. Siuce the above was in type, returns from several additional counties have been received—which considerably lessen the majority for the State Rights ticket. Our hopes for the success of the Union ticket begin to revive. Col. C senger Nkw-Orleans, October 5 I Huract from the City Council proceedings of the \~thult. C. P.

It grows out of the practice of that sub lime maxim in inorals—“Do os we would be done by." And although, in our intercourse with »he world, we may often meet with men who do not deserve the benefit of this generous sentiment—yet an attempt to practice it, is always due to ourselves. We do not therefore look upon the abduction of our printers, as a matter “in which the public are noway concerned:” for it involves a violation of those princi ples of honor and courtesy, upon the observance of which, society is alone held together. It involves a vi olation of thosp principles of honor and fairness in action, which should be observed even between hostile individuals, and hostile communities; and without some regard to which nature would present a sicken ing pictuto of reckless strife, and heartless contention, unrelieved by a single beam to redeem it from total shadow and darkness.” moras. aud that the teitivasiou of Texas would soou after coumiouco.

To the Editor of the Macon Telegraph. Talbo county, October 4, 1636 Our election has resulted in a complete triumph of the Union and Jackson cause, though, T regret to say a most dreadful rencounter ensued in the afternoon. Our fellow citizen, Col. Frederick Bailey, in trying to suppress a riot, was skot at; the bail passed thro’ the crown of his'hat, and wounded a Mr. Bradbury who stood iu the rear of Col. Bailey. Long, who dis charged the pistol, retreated; the Col. drew liis knife and pursued him a few paces, but was knock'd down by Ixmg’s frieuds. the Nullifies, and dreadfully bruis ed, but as he rose a pistol was handed to him; lie fired at Long at the distance of forty or fifty feet, and shot him through the body. The wound I hope, will not prove mort .1, though Long richly deserved his fate — The individual who leveled the Col. when pursuing Long, with a cudgel, we are happy to say, received, from the hand of the Col. a blow that will accompany him to the grave. His Nullification is of the most pu sillanimous, vile characer: to aim a deadly blow at a high minded, honorable man, who was acting the part of a peace maker, without any provocation, merely ou account of a difference of political opinion, is too base We regret to say that Richard Bailey, in resett ing his brother from the mob, was severely wounded. He was held by Philip Long while Bitckanuan, a vag abond, stabbed him in several places. None are in danger but William Long who commenced the show, and lor him there is but little sympathy in this commu nity. The Nullifiershere delight in blood and carnage, blit when they run against the Baileys they get gaol- A more determined, braver family never existed; young Dick is a Julius Cssar. When his arm was cut and paralyzed so that he could not fire his se cond pistol, be threw it to the Col and told him to kill the damn rascal Buckannan. at whom the Col. fir ed as he run, but unfortunately missed him Thun terminated one uf the most alarming riots ever wit nessed in our village. SCRAPS. Whoever feels pain in hearing a gooij character of his neighbor, will feel pleasure in the reverse: and those who despair of rising to distinction by their vir tues are happy if others can be depressed to a level with themselves. Men of nice honor without one grain of common ho nesty, (for such there are) are wonderfully combusti ble. The honorable is to support and protect the dis honest part of their character. The consciousness of their guilt makes them both sore and jealous. Ansittrs to the Conundrums and Charade in our last. 1.

Our citizens should not forget this important Convention- A meeting should beheld ou Mon day at furthest, and Delegates appointed. There is uo time to be lost, for unless we move, and that quickly, other counties in the Stato may also neglect it and that, which should he au im posing body representing the whole State, may he a failure. We cannot believe that Georgians' amid the din of politics, will forget their true— their vital iuterest. The action of the present Legislature will determine, iu a great measure, whether we are to act as one people, or to be split, as hertofore, ill opposing interests. Let the Convention at Macon be composed of Delegates from every county iu the State, and the facts and arguments they tv ill bring to the uotice of the people and the Legilature, will claim for the sub ject an attention, which “ill be productive of great results.—Savannah Georgian.

We give this as a re port, for we have not yet learned it in a mauner which will enable us to give it as possilive fact. We are at a loss to assign motives for so barbarous a proceeding seeing that their conduct with re gard to Col. Fauuiu and bis men was so loudly i-oudemoed by the whole world, and especially by the foreign ministers residing at Mexico; for ihe sake of humanity we hope that the report is incorrect, * ** ’ New-Orleans, Oct. 6. As we anticipated, lndiau difficulties are likely to arise on our Western borders. The Governor of Arkansas has found it ueces- sary to call out ihe able bodied men of the stale, iu order to be organized into companies lor the protection of the inhabitants, from some threat ened proceedings ou the part of ihe Creeks and Cherokees, who have recuutly emigrated west ol the Mississippi. We fear that we have just entered upon our In dian disturbances, and until the Goverumet acts with energy and promptitude iu securing our wes tern frontiers tiy proper defences, we shall regard ihe borders of the Western and {south Western States, as in the vicinity of worse than volcanic eruptions. JUDGE WHITE. The Judge accepted the nomination of the Whigs of Georgia, outlie 30th of May, in a letter .vhicli is just published—aud he tells the people lhat he believ ed “the el "ctiou of a Chief Magistrate ought to be t;.e work of the people themselves," S(c. S(c. Therefore, his political friends had originally his consent to use his uauie—and he yet sees 110 reason for believing he had “fallen into any error.” Is the Judge still blind—or was he insincere I Surely he ought to see that his name is only used to defeat, if possible, an election by the people and throw it in the House. The Judge will find, when it is too late, that he has committed one egregious error, viz abandoning the best friend he had'iti the word, to throw himself into the arms of a party who are now abandoning him for Gen Harrison. The very Whig paper in this eily, which once pledged itself to support him. is now quit ting him for Harrison—and the Whig committee of Illiuois, on the 5th iust. is "dopting a double ticket, re lying upon the Electors of Judge White that “in the event of Gen. Harrison receiving more votes in other States than Judge White they wdlgive the vote ofthi: state to Harrison.” According to present appearan ces, the Judge will soon have to repeat the pathetic so liloquy of the abandoned Cardinal Wnlsey: “Fare well ! a long Farewell to all my greatness,” &c &c. Richmond Enq. New Application of Electricity.—We noticed not long since, in a foreigu journal, a wager between a London scientific gardener, and a celebrated cook, that the former would produce a handsome salad and cress from the seed, before the latter could cook, in good style, a leg of mutton to be eaten with the salid. The wager was won by the gardener. The process was to immerse the seed for a time in oxymuriatic acid, then sow it in a light soil letting it be covered with a metai- ic cover, and briugiug into contact with the whole ail electrical machine. By the same agent hen’s eggs, which require tiventv or twenty-one days to hatcli by animal heat, have been hatched in a few hours. Water apparently free front any auitnaicuia;, in an hour can be rendered full of iivitig insects. It has long been Suspected lhat yvhiit is called electro-magnetism per formed a prominent part in the formation and growth of animal and vegetable matter, and these experiuient- would seem to place the matter beyond adoubt. Should these results be confirmed by furtlier experiments, a new erea in physiology, both vegetable and animal, may bo considered as commenced, aud another step taken iu drawipg ; tlie veil'which shrouds the mysterious op erations in the inner courts of the temple of nature.— Genesee Farmer. Convict rc taken.—The Boston Courier of yesterday says—“That Jacob H. Edwards, one of the convicts, and principal instigator of the escape from the State's Prison, on Saturday night last, was taken yesterday efternoon.in the woods in Saugus and safely conduc ted back to prison.'* The Western Frontier.—ft appears by information derived by the St. Louis Bulletin from the Arkai sas pers that a requisition has beentnade by Gen. Arbuckie 011 the state for troops to quell the disturbances existing among the recently emigrated Greek and ■ herokees, originated as is supposed by the rival ciaims of Rely M’lutosh and Nea Muthla to the chtefalty of the nation. Under the impression that the conflict might become one of a sanguinary character, and involving the safe ty of the frontier, Gen. Arbuckle has made the requi sition, and it is believed that in no other emergency thau an actual infringement of the rights of the border settlers, will the General consider himself authorized to interfere. ' The troops ordered into service, together with the Governor and hbr Aids, proceeded on flte 25th, to Fort Towson, where they are to be armed and equipped, and will doubtless be ordered across to Fort Gibson, to await general orders. No one seems for a mom* tit to entertain the idea that these troops will be required on our Mexican frontier." The last Arkansas Gazette says: “ We learn, by a letter from an intelligent gentleman residing in one of the Indian nations west of Arkansas, that the Indian country at this time is in a state of considerable excite ment. The Creeks aud Cherokees have held a secret council, at which it is believed they formed an alliance to snstainthe present Creek Chief, Roly McIntosh, in authority, against the claims of Nea Mathla. who was the second Chief of all the Creeks east, and is now at the head of a numerous band of his people approach ing their new country west. A great National Ball- play took place, a few days ago, in a remote part of the Cherokee nation, where it is supposed their plans were developed to the great body of the Cherokee people: But nothing has as yet happened, or is likely to happen, to disturb the slumber of the good people of Arkansas.” \ye learn from the Washingtonian, that it is in con- te.Riplation to establish, in the heart of the City of Wash ington, a Cotton Factory that will be iinsurpa’ssed in the Uniuu for extent of usefulness. The extensive buildings of Mr. Wm. Stone, on the corner of 11th street and Pennsylvania Avenue is proposed to he used for the purpose.—Richmond Enquirer A horid and new mode of Suicide.—A double suicide uf a most shocking and extraordinary description ha- lately, taken place a few leagues from Campaigne A Mr. L. who resides in the neighborhood of Venetiand Marigny, shuthimaelf up with a female in a small out building detached from his principal dwelling, and, having besmeared their bodies frith turpentine, they placed themselves on a heap of faggots, and set fire to the pile. When the flames were perceived, assistance immediately arrived, and the troops uf the garrison ot Compeigne hastened to the spot; but it >vas too lHte— 1 the bodies were already consumed. It was stated that 1 pistols were found lying on the spot. It is difficult to conceive of a more horrid character, than the one described in the following paragraph: ‘‘A carpenter by the name of Mendt, at Rostock. Germany is going to take bis trial for having poisoned his mother, for having attempted to poison his uiothet- in-law. for having poisoned his wife, for having tried to * poison seven persons of his household, among whom was his apprentice Hecaer, for arson, and for several etnbezzelments.’*— London Paper. Supposed Volcano at Sea.— An intelligent shipmaster writes from the < oast of California, that on his passage out “ on Thursday, April 9. 1836, in lat 6 N. Ion. 99 West, we observed some little things floating by the ship, which on examination proved to be small stones, r sembliug pumice stones. From their appearance I should suppose they were of volranic origin. We sailed upwards of fifty miles through them, thinly scat tered oVer the face oi the sea. ' We were about 540 miles from the Continent, 600 from Gallipagos and 600from Clipperton Rock. The North East trade winds prevail in the latitudes. I can form no satisfactory opinion whence they came, ex cepting from some volcanic eruption at the bottom of the Ocean. As I send you specimens, you can for ward them to the learned prof Silliman. “ The meteoiic shower in November 1834. was seen n California.”—-Boston D. Aetv. of the city. The tollowio g detail of 'acts is submitted Ou the 19th of Jaitnary last a communication was received from the committee for receiving deeds and right of way, Ac. of the Monroe R, R. C. The pur port of this communication was a petition to the coun cii fur the right of way, and a depot within the limits of Lie city. Tins communication w;>s referred tonur standing committee on streets, who was instructed to report 011 the following points, viz.: The capital stock of the company. The amount paid in. The extent of the charter. The contemplated width of ihe track. Aud whether if this co'uncil should wish to have an interest in said slock, upon what terms the same may he obtained. Information upon the above several point- was sought by the committee, and questions to elicit the desired inlormatiim propounded to the representatives of the company in the city. To their questions, the following answers were returned: The committee on the part of the M. R. R.

At the following meeting of Council, a resolution was passed discharging the committee from the further consideration of the subject, and the same was refer red toanotherconunitteecom posed of the whole Board The following restrictions were imposed on this com mittee, which was to rovern them in making tip their decision, they were reduced to writing at the time, read, and handed to one of the committee Resolved, That whatever parcel of land be deeded to the .Monroe R.

That provided said company should in any resprrt forfeit'heir charter, or violate any article of the same either iti letter or spirit, that the grant ofland so made by the city council be forfeited tir.d revert back to the city council. Resolved, That the city council reserv** to itself all jurisdiction over the parcel ofland so granted.

After the examination of the suburbs of the city, that part of the common situate opposite lo third street was selected as an eligible site for the depot, end informa tion of the same communicated to the President of the Monroe R company, from whom ail answer was received in reply declining to accept of the depot se lected. In June Iasi the subject wan again revived, and at the request of the company the council agreed to give the desired quantity of ground, at the site de signated by them, but your committee have ascertain ed by a personal enquiry of each member of council, that it was co- templated that the conditions and res trictions that was to be annexed to the former grant should also accompany the second grant.
