It is the measure which the people generally in every part of the Union will support.

The prophecy is fulfilling—let the Republican parly wake up—the time has arrived, and If every man will do his duty—the principle will be checked but not injured—and the country will be s afe!—Augusta People's Press. WI1IGGERY AND IIUMBUGGERY. It cannot yet have been forgotton what a hue and cry was raised by the “Whigs" against the celebrated Baltimore Convention gotten up to nominate Mr. Van Boren—denouncing it as a “humbug,” “ridiculous farce,” “party manouvre,” “gross imposition,” “libel upon the good sense of the people,” &c- &c.—ail of which wc neither did then or do now dispute; but should like them to explain to us the dif ference between that Convention, and the one now proposed by themselves, to nominate Mr. Ci.ay, since thatobjcct is evidently as clearly understood and positively decided on at this time, as was tlic’noniination of Mr. Van Buren, by the projectors of the former. “Strange that tmcli difference there should be, “’Twist twecule dnm and tweedlc dec.”—ib. $ I,USD,335 55 Very respectfully, your nb’t serv’t, J R.

In the House of Representative* this morning, n .Message was received from the President in answer to a resolution uf the House, making uconiuuiuicnliou from the Secretary of Stale in relation to Texas. It states that the Department tins no correspondence on die subject, copies of which have not already been forwarded to the House. It also states that no corres- poiidcncc has been received from any foreign Govern ment relative to tlie annexation of that Republic to the I’aited Mates. The Secrctnry having, by the resolu tion. been requested to inform the House whether the leipiest of Texas for admission into tins Union lias keen withdrawn, replies that he considers that request finally disposed of in its transmission to Congress. After the report liaii been read, it was reported to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and ordered to be print'll. A I'omiuuiucatioii was received from the Secretary of War, giving in nnswer to a resolution, nil estimate of die number olid amount of improvements m the Cio i-iikee lands, purchased under '.lie treaty of Ecliotn hi 1835. It was laid ou tlie table and ordered to be printed. Tiiis day having been specially assigned for the rniirideration of private bills, at an early hour the House went into CoimuiUoc of the Whole ou that ban ness. Tlie Indian hostility bill, with the amendments thereto, for the removal of theClicrokees, was. after a warm debate, reported last night by the Committee of tlm Whole. No action was taken thereon by tlie House. It is thought the bill will pass on Monday or Tuesday uext. Clop Attains-—A great meeting was held at New York mi the 29tli nit. at which M r Verplanck presided, assisted by 100 vice-presidents nod 11 secretaries. An address ami resolutions were adopted, nominating Air I’hy lor the Presidency, hut referring the. matter to the National Whig Convention, to be held nt Harris- burgh, (Penn.) in December, 1839. The New York Times has hoisted the banner of Mr Clay for the Presidency, will. Mr Tallmndgc as Vice 1’jcsideiiL Major Geo. Jcsnp, with a part of his staff, arrived in Washington city mi Monday last, in the steam boat Columbia, from Norfolk, ill tlie very short passage of fnednysfrmn Itlack Creek, nnd has taken lodging at Fuller's Hotel. The General, we ate glad to learn, is iu good health. • [From Urn .Veto York Xtie F.ri*.] FORMIDABLE ALLIANCE. We learn front a southern paper, that the “Colored American," an abolition print of this city, edited by a gentleman ofcolor, lias graciously bestowed the light '•tits countenance upon the whig*. The editor an- taiiinces the high important nnd flattering act of patruiiiig.! in the following dignified niuhner. "lie «re n whig and vote with the whig*.” Such an acces sion to lliu opposition party is a heavy blow to demo cracy, certainly; it must be regarded as one of those dark clouds that have lately ariren ou our political horizon, nnd n sombre omen of the fate that aw aits ns. Tim Whigs have long seen tlio necessity of giving •nine color to tlicir proceedings, and they nrc now •applied with n rich infusion. The negro population "f New York, hitherto neutral in every think liuttint, hue gone over to the whig*, with tlieir editor at their head. If tho Democratic party can stand this, it can •uy thing. Whether these new friends are CC> be re- em-od into the whig family upon the same terms of policy ns the Conservatives—that is united in (issocia- •ion 'whilst, ns the Star says, they “appear to remain diiiiiicl”—wc know not; but the accession must be wonderfully refreshing to the whig editors in general. We lender our congratulations to the editor of the New York Gazette in particular. INDEPENDENT TREASURY ftllfL. Tlio followin'' is an extract front a letter ad dressed to tire Editor of tlio Charleston Mtr- tury, front a correspondent at Columbia, S. C.— “I saw a letter front Washington to-dav, which states that tho Sub-Treasury Bill will !**« in Congress—that the Members are now (lotting satisfied that the real question is nar rowed down to bank' or not, nnd that the cause is gaining ground among those who hitherto have hesitated. I hope it is so, and think it pro bable. This is truly the only question on which it turns.” Letters of similar import have been received in this city, direct from Washington City, in which it is stated that the utility of the measure ,s becoming more and more apparent, nnd that 'hero is a decided majority in Congress in favor ofit—A few more quirks and turns of the Bank party, a few more flaps nnd flounders, and they ''ill have to knock under. The poliry of a divorce of Bank and Syitc must succeed in “SOLITARY AND ALONE!” The action of the Senate ou the 29th (on the joint resolution of Mr. Clay, to receive in pay ment of Government dues, the notes of specie paying hanks)—being on the motion to strike out that part of the Resolution which compelled the disbursement of Bank notes, was adopted by a vote of 44 to I!—Mr. Clay, “horse, foot, and dragoons !” voting for it - ! But the “horse, foot and dragoons, were himself only!” lie was truly and emphatically, “Solitary and Alone !” How the expressson must have rushed upon his memory !— " Curses, like ciiickens, will come to roost.”—ib. Ciiari.estox, June 7. Further attempts to Fire the City —Between 8 and 9 o’clock on Tuesday night, an attempt was made to fire tlio residence of Air. Andrew Moffett, on the west side of Meeting street, and nearly opposite the Circular Church, by throwing a roll of paper filled with live coals from an adjoining lot, which fortunately foil be tween the pantry nnd out-house, nnd not it the gutter, ns is supposed to have been the design of the iucen- diary. A servant being in the pantry at the timt, dis covered the combustible matter, and extinguished tlie fire. Another and more daring attempt was made on Wednesday morning, between 9 and 10 o'clock, to fire the premises occupied by Mr J. C.tlder, as a resi dence and cabinet maker shoo. in Mccling-st East side, and next door North ofthc Circular Churcii, by placing combustible matter in two different places under the piazza, fncingtlie South, which was fortu nately discovered in tune nnd cxtiuguislied. All the domestics on the premises have been arrested, and will undergo an examination. In both Hie cases above mentioned, it is clearly evi dent that they were designed, nnd the acts of those well acquainted with the premises.—Courier. New York, June 2. Drstrsrtiee Fire.—On Thursday night, between 8 nnd 9 o'clock, a lire broke out in the rope walk uf Air. Maxwell, situated on the block bounded by 15th and Ifltli streets; mid 7th and 8lh avenues. The rope walk, with its valuable contents, was soon wrapped inflames, which communicated to the adjoining houses, nine of which with all the out buildings, were destroyed. On 15th street, No 158, owned by lleury Tiflman; amount of lo>* or insurance unknown—destroyed. No. 172, owned by Thomas Saunders, a new brick house, pirtinlly burnt—insurance $1500. No 168, owned by Air. Maxwell—destroyed. Also, another house in the rear, same owner—insured. No 150. owned by George Ilaukius, with a house nnd valuable warehouse in the rear. No 174, owned nnd occupied by Robert Dorr, bad ly damaged, and outbuildings destroyed. Ou HUli street. No 167, n large double house, occu pied by two families, unities unknown; nnd another house, occupied by James Afesscrly, destroyed. Mr. Maxwell was insured $2000 on bis ro|>c walk, (nit on the stork destroyed, which was very valuable, i here was no insurance. tlie arrival of the express, in the evening cars for Utica and thence, by relays of horses, to Watertown. Correspondence of the X. Y. Com. Ado. Oswego, May 30, Wo learn from the passengers by tho steam boat G. Britain, from Kingston, that the Sir Robert Peel was burnt this morning at Well’s Island, a few miles below French Creek in the St. Lawrence, where she stopped to take in wood. She was boarded at about 2 o’clock in tlie morning by a body of armed nten, variously estimated at from 30 to 50, who immediately cleared the cabins and set fire to the boat.— The mate Mr. Johnson, wassleeping in his berth at the time and barely escaped after being sariously burnt, by jumping into the river. The passengers were taken to Kingston by the steamboat Oneida, oftltis place, who report that much of the baggage was lost, and about $60,000, in specie. This daring piracy excites a just indignation among all classes, and calls for the vigilant and energetic action of tlic public authorities to detect and punish the per petrators. Savannah,June 2. Ctnfral Rail Road.—Our readers will have an opportunity this morning of riding twenty- seven miles on this road, and as the locomo tive starts front “the depot,” they will be sav ed the former walk. The monument of earth being finished, an excursion is more inviting.— Georgian. Charlesto.y, Aray 30. A meeting was held at Columbia, S. C. on Tuesday evening, and a resolution passed, re questing our Representatives in Congress to pass r thc Sub-Treasury Scheme with the Spe cie clause. A similar resolution was to have been offered in the House to-day.—Southern Patriot. Miraculous escape.—The Philadelphia Ga zette of the 28th ult. says the scltr. Caro, of Kingston, Massachusetts, Capt. Bacon, sailed from Charleston on the 2d of February, for Norfolk, and soon after was capsized; the Ian yards being cut away, the masts went uy the hoard, when she righted, and on the 8th, she was fallen in with by a vessel hound to Rus sia, and the crew taken off and carried to Eu rope. A letter has been recieved in Boston, giving an account of the wreck and the rescue of tlic crew, who were long since given up by their friends as lost. Stannard, the celebrated pedestrian, drew a heavy sulkey over the course of one mile, on Hoboken race ground, on Friday, in five min utes and fifty-four seconds: Stannard is a na tive of Connecticut. Coroner's Inquest.—An iuqnest was held at tlie Globe Hotel, on Mondny Evening last,by Isaac Hcnd ricks. Esq. over tlie body of Jacob VV. Miller, of Warren County, formerly a stage driver, xvho was found dead ill bis lied. The jury after an examination, brought in tlicir verdict, that “lie came to Iris death by the visitation of God.” The Cormier, Itoxvcver, alter the jury had retired, in laying him out, found his |Miekct honk, containing, among other papers, a letter addres sed to the public, from which it seem* he destroyed his life, by some means unknown to the jury—no doubt hy taking Laudanum—as one m two empty vials were found in the room. Hu states in Iris letter, that Gambling caused his death.—Augusta Constitu tionalist. • Governor Ritnnr lias offered a reward of $500 for the apprehension and conviction “of each and erery person engaged in the burning of tlic building called the Pennsylvania Hall on the !7th inst.; or in setting fire to the building called the Orphans Asylum, on tlic 18th inst. to bo paid ou the conviction ol each and ev| cry one of tlic persons aforesaid.”—Paulson's Adeer- liter. Tlie National Intelligencer of28tliult., says: “The nomination of Mr. Woodbury (now sec retary of the treasury) to he a judge of the su preme court of the state of New Hampshire, lias been confirmed; tiud no doubt scents to be entertained of his accepting the appointment. Who is to succeed him in the treasury is a mat ter about which a good deal of curiosity ex ists.” l au Iiuren Convention.—The Van Buren State Convention, which assembled at Balti more on the 31st tdtinto, for the nomination of a candidate for Governor, have fixed upon William Grason, Esq. of Queen Ann’s coun ty, for that purpose. The Columbia Telescope says:—“The po litical friends of Capt. Benjamin T. Elmore, respectfully nominate him to the people of South-Caroliit, ns a candidate for next Govcr- Frum the Albany Argus, May 30. Daring Outrage.—An express from Wa tertown reached this city yesterday afternoon, bringing despatches to Gov. Marcy, from the District Attorney, Marshal, &c. at that place, by which wc regret to leant that a most extra ordinary outrage was committed within the American waters, early oil Thursday morn ing. The British steam boat Sir Robert I’ecl, lying to about seven miles from French creek on the river St. Lawrence, was forcibly seized by a body of armed nten, supposed to be Can adian refugees, set on fire, and entirely con sumed. We trust that, by the prompt action of the civil authorities, aided by the military, all far ther aggression or apprehended retaliation may he prevented; and that the perpetrators of the outrage may be discovered and brought to merited punishment: Gov. Marpy, conceiving the circumstances such as to require tho immediate interposition of the state authorities, left (he town soon after Mockery of the Raw.—The trial of John Wilson, wlto, it may be remembered, officia ted as speaker of the Arkansas House of Rep resentatives during tlie last legislative session of that state, and who, on a certain occasion, walked down from his chair and slew Major T. T. Anthony with a Bowie knife, on the floor of the House, took place a few days ago. The verdict of the jury, was—“not guilty of murder, but excusable homicide ! /” The Steam Whistle, is Sm invention of the celebrated Mr. Watt, many years ago, to indicate the height of water in the boilers of a steam boat, and though exceedingly simple iu its operation, we think would conduce lo safety from explosion. A correspondent ofthc National Intelligencer—describes it as he saw it at the Chelsea water works as far back as 1820. It was an iron whistle, which piercing the top of the boiler, decsended into it to near the degree of level to which the water could with safety be evaporated ; the moment the water became exhausted to this level—the steam would, of course, rush up the whistle, and “pipe all hands,” for the necessary supply of water. By this simple, hut admirable con trivance, which docs honor to Mr. Watt’s in genuity, the very possibility of tlio bursting of a boiler was prevented, the whistle acting at once as an escape valve and as a signal to the ongineer to let on the necessary supply of water.—St. Louis Bulletin. reheusion. On behalf of the sex, she thus ap peals to the editor: “I would charitably hope, that nothing needed, but a knowledge of our fealings, to rouse you to a proper action in the case. 1 al lude to the immodest pictures on Bank Notes.— That sober business men should, without pros pect of pecuniary advantage, deliberately con spire to obtrude upon community, such pictures as outrage modesty, in furnishing a currency for the transaction of business, is an insult to the virtuous, so flagrant in its character—that I know not whether to be most astonished at such conduct, or at the apathy ofthc communi ty in suffering it to pass without severe rc buke. “What! must neither my daughters nor my self go out to make purchases, but a father and a husband is obliged to put money in our hands that we cannot count before him, without suf fusing our cheeks with crimson ! money too, which we must pay to merchants and tlicir clerks, while we stand by and see if examined with a full knowledge ofits exposed and de nuded embellishment.—Must we then receive our change in the same polluted currency, and pocket this outrage upon all our feelings without apparant notice!” __ The attention of the Madisonian and the N. Y. Times is respectfully requested to this mat ter.—May it not be loco-focoism assuming new guise, and, under the pretext of regard for female modesty, meditating a stab at the “cred it system.”? The Methodists have held a great anti-slavery Con vention n| Utica, Nciv York, in which sixteen States were represented, one of them a slave-holding State. Strong measures were adopted, such ns will, heynud doubt, produce the dismemberment of that Church. The celebrated Orange Scott is appointed a missiona ry to England, to enlist the sympathy of the English Methodists—to seek to obtain the weight of their influ ence, so that by force or intimidation, the abolition party may compel the bishops and conservatives to cotuc into their measures.—Boston Olive Branch. Augusta and Hamburg Market, June 7. COTTON.—There has been a good enquiry for Cotton in oar market this week, and since tho recep tion of Liverpool uilvic.es to 2d Alny, we think there has been an evident improvement, both in demand and prices, particularly iu the qualities ranging from middling to go.nl. Prime and choioe cottons contin ue scarce, mid are much sought after while inferior is neglected We quote inferior to good 7 to 10 cent*, iriine and choice I0J, a 10J—good demand for the attet.

Liverpool, May 1.—There has been rather an ex tensive business doing in the Cotton Market for the past week. Hales have reached 40,00ft bales. There is no material variation iu prices in good qualities, but lower and middling have advanced 4d. The inaiket, generally speaking, is more firm. Accounts from the iiianiiracturiiig districts appear less discouraging. Under these circumstances specu lators and the tinde are buying with more confidence. May 2.—Cotton.—There has been a very animated demand throughout the week, and the business is on an extensive scale, an improvement of an {<1 per lb. has taken place generally iu the prices of American, and ill some instances 4^ advance may be noticed in the low and middling qualities. The sales amount to 39,240 bales. Bibb Superior Court, 1 .MAY TERM, 1638. ) r HE Grand Jurors of Bibb county, (paimcl num ber two) May Term, 1833, Superior Court, would respectfully Present:— We cannot in too high terms express ottr commen dation of the zealousness so prominently displayed by his Honor the Jndge, in his charge to this body on the subject of the suppression of the vice of Gambling; which vice has indeed taken in ottr community a high stand, a bold and daring front, that requires the co-op eration of all to put down. The laics for its suppres sion nre wise, salutary nnd sufficient; the executors of the laws arc firm, unflinching and energetic, and yet the vice exists in our very midst to an extent, that the heart broken mother, weeping over the degradation of a ruined son, or the balance sheet of a defraudinj debtor con only tell. The secrecy with which the bit sinessis transacted; the difficulty of obtaining witness es to testify, withuut criminating themselves: and, la mentably true, the fear ntnl dread of individuals to be come informers and prosecutors, presents bars not ea sily surmounted. It is the community, more particu larly, by ivhoui the vice can be suppressed. I.et them discountenance every individual who makes Gambling, commonly termed “Sporting,” his profession, and we have no doubt our atmosphere of morals will soon be purified of this noxious vice. We have, at the request of the Justices of the Infe rior Court, visited and inspected the new Jail, now nearly completed, and have seldom seen a more tho rough, complete and substantial building; and consi der it peculiarly adapted tor the purposes of its erec tion—it reflects the highest credit on tlie projector and builder, and on the Judges of tlie Court, fur their ener gy and perseverance in bringing it to an early com pletion. We recommend to the Judges of the Inferior Court to hare the Court House enclosed as early as practi cable, with a neat and handsome fence, and at the first suitable time, to plant tlie enclosure with shade trees, and have them carefully secured from injury. With tlie suggestions of the First (patinel) Grand Jury of the present term, in relation to tlic practice of treating and giving barbacucs at elections, wc entirely concur—it is an evil of the first maguitude, and should be suppressed. We have examined the Books and Papers of the Clerk of the Superior Court, and find them in the neat and concct maimer usual with that office, which is unexceptionable. Wc find in tlie hands of John Bailey. County Trea surer, $87 39-100, belonging to tlie Pauper Fund—al so, on examination of Iris accounts as County Treasu rer, that lie is in advance lo the county, $191 26 100. Wc find, oil examination, that the Books nnd Papers in the Clerk of the Inferior Court’s Office, are in bet ter order and more ucatly kept than formerly—and find ill said Clerk’s hands, the sum of $21 25-J00, ari sing from the sale of Estraya. We cannot close our presentments without express-' in" the deep solicitude we feel fur the speedy and suc cessful execution ofjfftc great system of Internal Irn provements now in progress in Georgia, for connect ing the Commercial Cities of tlic State with the wa ters ofthc Mississippi, and the great and central re gions which they chain. Tlio ultimate completion of these routes is no longer a doubtful or contingent c- vent Tlieir cost must necessarily be great, and tlicir speedy completion is n matter of the highest import ance to the interests and accommodation ofthc present generation; and when once completed, they will re main forever a rich and imperishable inheritance for posterity. Such being their character, it is obvious Dr. I,. A.

Mr. Williams, whose return to the South Seas noticed in tlie Herald a few days ago, gives, in one of his narratives, a laughable account of the effect produced on the natives of one of the islands by a successful attempt which he made to convert the coral of tlieir shores into linte. After having laughed at the process of burning, which they believed was to cook the coral for food, what was tlieir astonishment when in the morning they found the missonary’s cottage glittering in the rising sun, white as snow !— They danced, they sung, they shouted, they screamed for joy. The whole island was soon in commotion, given up to wonder and curiosity. The.ban ton immediately voted the whitewash a cosmetic and a Kalydor, and su perlatively happy did many a swarthy coquette consider herself could she but enhance her charms hy a dab of the white brush.

Tho smooth track which the wheel makes on the soft ground, induces the worm in its noctuia! wandering to follow on till it tumbles into tlie pit: It cannot climb out, and the hot sun destroys it.—Farmer.

Nor is she disinclined to lend the aid of her credit to facilitate and expedite the construction of those branches of the entire section, which have been undertaken by chartered associations of her citizens—and we earnestly desire and hope that at the next session of tlic Legislature, some measure may he brought forward and adopted, to effect this end. The credit of tlic State thus extended to our Rail Road Companies, would enable tlietn to call tlie capital of Europe nnd America into the service ofthc cause of Intern il Improvement in Georgia, to the full extent which the State herself may approve and au thorize—and thus, the great object of the speedy com pletion of thes} works will be ensured, without iuvulv- ing any undue pressure on the present wealth and re sources of the people of the State.
