I have just returned from the commence- ment at Athens, where for a few days the streets and houses were crowded with the beauty and fashion and tha most splendid equipages of Georgia—where the grShtt men of the nation met together to talk over the affuis of Stale, and to make arrange ments for the ensuing year’s political cam paigo. The assemblage was immense; and a universal disposition seems to be manifes ted to cherish the Cmll.g** from which so much good is expected. Exberience thu- far promises to fulfil the hope# of its most ardent and sanguine admirers. Mr Wal kee of Athens, and Doctor Terrell of Han. cock, were elected to fill th*. vacancies in the college trust otlcasinWd by the resigna tion of Mr. Clayton of Miliedgeville. and by the dead) of the much lamented M. Up* 9on of Oglethorpe. • Mr. Cubb has signified that he will not bj'.a candidate for Congress at the ensuing election. There is however no danger that the vacancy which will be occasioned by this circumstance will remain unfilled, as M .j.»r Merriwfther • of Clark, and Judge Longstreet of Greene County, very prompt- ly imve tendered their services for the dis charge of the duties of the appointment— >Ve live in a happy country, where the highest offices in the gift ’of tin* people are always *0 readily filled, notwithstanding the arduous duties appertaining to them are &» burthensome to the incumbents. In fact ■it is apprehended that there are not quite offices enough in Georgia, to satisfy those ■tv to are willing to take them; and tha the' e may be some disturbance in the wig- tvam on tha. account. It is thought that the vacancy which will occur frr the Judge in the district where Judge Longs reet Q .w acts is wished to be occupied by at lpust. two gentlemen of high standing in the State. As to the Senatorial election not mor.h wa* -a.d about it, and nothing determined Spoil in regard to it, at Athens. The West are willing that it should be jPi-fl by the choice of the East; and as far q* ! mold judge Mr. Charles Harris seem ed 'u unile the good wishes of the greatest number of all parties for the appointment; Governor Troup was at Athens, and {Saems to be in the fifll enjoyment of the good opinions ot the people. I heard noth ing about a Jackson ticket, nor do I appre hend that any such thing will be seriously attempted. Having no time to say more, I am res pectfully your friend, fisc.

M. I ttbvp, In again bringing forward the subject of the Brunswick Canal I must state to you that should the state determine >o cut the canal that Brunswick will in time take a large share of 'Unde from Charleston, S.-Ci as Brunswick must by the advantages de rived from the Canal rise rapidly into com mercial importance: She will receive the entire commerce of the Altumaha, Ocmul gee, Oconee and their tributaries She will also by constructing a few tievy short Ca nals receive the commerce uf me G eat and Little Satilla rivers the sea board of Cam den county and coast of East Florida, and will in consequence become an extensive nart for S .uthern produce. The Great ■ri ills contain* on it- hanks some of the finest swamp lands in Georgia and a vast quantity of u too, the lands are equally as uch as those on the Savannah and Almma iia.and equally as well suited to the cul- tuieof cm ton and rice and by not being so nuch subjected ’o freshets the crops are more certain. Consequently the lands are more valuable* This part of our country ts* be sure is at this time very obscure, but the day is not far distant when it will be come conspicuous, by the large plantations that will be I cated there: at this time there are but few, the principal of which is owned by a merchant of Charleston. The distance from the several points above quoted to Sa vannah, not being much greater than that of Charleston outside, and the inland passage is considered equally or more hazardous than the passage outside, to vessels em ployed in the coasting trade,in consequence f he st* ep banks of the narrow salt ware* iverg, and the passage outside is on an a- •erage, completer’ in one third of the space »f time, which causes the greater part of me principal planters at this time to ship their produce to Charleston instead.of Sa vannah. If the canal to unite the Almma. ha with Turtle river be cut, Brunswick must monopolise this trade, and I am au ■hnrised to say that should the state cut the Brunswick Canal; that the citizens • f Camden and Glynn Counties, will at their own cost, cut the nece-sary canals to unite the Great and Little Satilla riVei wilh Tur tle river, so as H> have a safe and short paa sage fo> fl u bo. turned and steam bn»ts. In my several letters I have used every caution to avoid all kinds of exageration, knowing that nothing is more disgusting in a writer than to make wilful misrepresen tations, and knowing that it would be bel ter to fall within the limits «fany supposed estimation, rather than expand it beyond probability: having written deliberately on der these impressions, I am confident all my assertions can be supported by incon tesfible facts. My object in writing not being interest, but a mere wish to enlighten your mind respecting interna! improve ments on objects, which I am certain is not personally known to you, 1 will for the present, dismiss the farther discussion of the Brunswick Canal, and turn my views to the subject of cutting a canal to unite the St Mary’s with Suwanee river, and will pro duce facts that will exhibit the easy prac ticability of having a steam boat navigation, with the Gulf of Mexico, by ussending the St# Many’s and descending the Suwapee, the writer having a personal know-, ledge of the country and soil through which the canal is intended to pass. If this project be ever completed, it will not. only be deeply interesting to the people of this state, but will be hailed as a happy epoch in our history, by all the maritime Stares in the Union. As the subject is too pro lix for the present letter, it will be defered for another, . A GEORGIAN. LATEST AND IMPORTANT FROM the Pacific «ia the isthmus. The schr Ardent, Capt BossierC, arrived at this port on Saturday night, in 22 days from Pot to Bello. \Ve learn verbally from coiinuenee Captain B. that about the last of May, news reached Panama, that,owing to the disuf feet ion of the Peruvians, Gen. Bolivar had embarked most of his army on board the Peruvian and Colombian Navy at Guaya quil, and retired to Truxillo, leaving a Pe ruvian Colonel in command of the garrison. Shortly after leaving Guayaquil, indeed, before he lost sight of the plum, he had the mortification ot seeing the Peruvian Hag hauled down, and the Spanish colours hoisted* A short time after, news was re ceived of the abolition of the Constitutional Government of Spain; upon the receipt of winch most of the Spaniah troops in Peru refused to acknowledge the abtolute go vernment of the king. Availing himself of this circumstance, Bolivar immediately returned to Guayaquil, and was joined by a great number f Spanish troops, as also by the faction in Peru, who had before op- posed him, on the ground, (as was said by them.) that he had c»me not for the purpose of assisting them butmf conquering iff the name of Colombia. He had taken posses sion of Guayaquil, and was’ marching on, with every prospect of bringing the war to a -peetly close. On thfe 26th of J me a re inforcement of between 2 and 3000 troops from Culombia had passedChagies on their Way to Panama, toembatk from Peru', tak ing'with them a great quantity of arms, amunition and cordage &c far the navy. A report prevailed throughout the country, that a treaty of alliance had been formed be* tween Colombia and Hayti, in which the latte agrees to furnish 4000 troops com pletely armed for the assistance of the for. mer. and which were daily expected. On the 24jh June, the French brig of wa> Ga zelle arrived ntChagres from Martinique, bringing an agent from the French Govern ment to rpside at Panama, who had been well received. On the 3d July, capt B. left, offChagres, the Colombian frigateColumbia.Com. Chit- ty, and 6 Or 8 other vessels Of war, which hud brought the above mentioned rein forcements to Chagres. No American ves sels were left at Panama.

Storm at Philadelphia.—On Thursday night, 29tli ult. a fall of rain was experien ced in the city and vicinity of Philadelphia, 'which caused extensive damage to streets, bridges, mill dams, <!j*c.6tc. The Philadel phia papers furnish the following details:— From every quarter, we hear reiterated accounts of losses. In a smaINtream, tri butary to the Schuylkill, atjjw miles above the city, three milfdaiiis are swept away ; and it is probable that not one in ten ot the dams near thecity are Irf whole. The bridges at Flat Rook,winch has been destroyed, was unde going repairs Mr Wernwag,the contractor,must lose consid erably by this accident, as ho had just erec ted two arches to support the old bridge, and two days, work more would have se cured them—the whole was swept away. We are informed that much property was injur ed and lost in Muylandville. We have heard that a single individual there states his loss at upwards of 840U0. In Mongnmery and Bucks counties, the mads are much injured, end mill-dams »nd fences swept away, A* far as we have been able to gather information, the same mis fortunes have befallen the people ot Dela ware and Chester counties.

Penn. July 2! Faithfulness of the dog—To the many instances of faithfulness in this affectionate nirnal. we think one which happened near Jiis place on Monday mornipg last, is well worth adding: MrMatthias Ornd . fi* of Menallen town- hip, was crossing a field, about a quarter f a mile distant from his house, when he was attacked by a very vicioua bull. The animal raised him with his horns, and th ew him, he supposes, about 15or 16 feet upon a fence;and as he was falling, was cau ht by the bull, and presed aginst the fence by'his horns.—In this situation lie was held until he found his strength gradm ally weakening—and was nearly exhausted whe’n his dog, who had heard his first cry came running from the house, one-fourth ofa mile distant, to his assistance, and im mediately attacked the animal, and reliev ed his master from this dreadful situation. Mr 0. has received but one serious wound, which is very deep otc in t e thigh, where the animal first struck him. In all proba bility, bad it not been for the watchfulness and speed of his faithful dog, he must soon have been deprived of life. Jfii Jiff air of Honor in the Land of Stea dy Habits—We have an account of an af fair of honor, said in the Bridgeport Cour ier, to have tak :n place in Newtown.

The ring was formed and a furious set to commenced, which was kept tip with great spirit, in which much scientifir/<rcfn» was exhibited and many knock dovOnaigumertts were ad vanced, until by tin- rules of pugilistic law, one of the champious declared himself sat isfied with the punishment received* and humbly implored the fa. givness of hi} hon orable antagonist.

The Fab Mount dam yesterday, while collect ingdrift wood. Trout the scene of havoc and destruction which presented itself on the borders of Cohocksink creek, in the Northen Liber ties, “fire and water” appeared to have been “in i uin reconciled.” The water rose in that creek, four feet higher than is recollected by the oldest in habitants in the neighborhood. It was nine inches deep on the Tower floor of a house occupied by a Mr Wiiite, and his family were apprized of (he circumstance by the. neighbours early this morning,haying rested in confidence of their being secure from tho Hood. The house is an ancient one, having been built before the war of the revolu/ion, and during the conflict was fired by the En glish; it was afterwards repaired, as many others inthe vicinity of our city have been, which were burnt by order of the British. We measured the height of the water mark left on the wall in the lower room^of Messrs. Craig & Co.’s cotton factory, and found it four feet above the floor. The machinery was nearly covered with It, and about 40 bales of cotton goods were damag ed; the dye bouse belonging to the factory was inundated, and most of the dye sniffs destroyed; much of the fencing along the creeks was swept away. At the bridge over the creek on Second street, the water rose to about four feet, a bove the crown of the arch. At the bridge over St John street, there wet•• fifteen or twenty loads of lumber, casks, privies. <5fc. together with the plank work of the brill ae swept from its pier at Beaver street, A family residing in a email brick house, near B *aver and Third-streets, were taken from the window .f their bed chamber about 2 o’clock this j^F.-iduyjmor ning, at which time the fresh was at its height. i . , Along third street, near the bridge, a- bove Beaver-street, the foot way is gone for about 200 feet, and the road, at the bridge ne.ir George-street, is washed away to the cr jwn of the arch, about half way across the street. On the part remaining, are two large pieces of timber, wliigh formed a part iif a dam owned by. Mr,Turner Camuc, and which was carried from its bed on Fourth- street. The Bark house of M- Wilson was carried off. and the cellar of Mr, William Gray.grocer* corner of Third and Franklin- streets, was filled with water; it contained groceries, which were principally lost. The house of M' Gray.is elevated to the regula ted height of toe distret. ‘ In St. John st. at the corner of Beaver-st. the water was eight.inohes above the pavement, wihch ab so is placed according to the regulated height of the district. The cellar of Mr Benner, grocer, was filled, and all the gro ceries in it destroyed. All the tannera and other manufacture) s along the creek Bus tained damage, some of them we appre hend to a large amount.- In George-stfeot, near Third, we saw a large stone, with its shaft attached, (such 1 as are u?ed for grind ing ba- k) Which had been removed a con siderablo distance from the house m which G, M TROll His Excellency lareal Pickins, Gi.verdorct Alabama, Cahawba.
