O’ By the pilot boat schooner savannah, Cnpt.
WiiiTKjiyehnvo received the New-York Mercan
tile Advertiser of the 30th ult—two days later
than the mail—it furnishes nothing of importance.
The render will observe on reference to our ta
bic of votes for Governor, that wo have returns
from Fourteen Counties, Which give Troup a ina •
jority of 2147. Thus tar the good cause*goes on
well. Goo speed it throughout the State.
Mr. Editor, William J. Hobby, the brother
in law of Gen. John Clark has sold out the estab
lishment of the Augusta Chronicle, and Georgiu
Advertiser to Mr. A H. Pemberton. Thus it is—
wo all have our entrances and our exits.
'The salary which the Mexican Government
proposed to givTs Coulmodcre Porter should ho
enter their service, it is said, is $23,000 peV an
num—h compensation equal to that of the Presi
dent of (lie United States."—The duties of the
Commodore are intended to be purely of an Ex
ecutive nature; that if he does not aceept an of
fer of foreign service, his duties would probably
correspond with those of our Secretary of the Na
vy, or President of the Board of Navy Commis
sioners
The-Richmond Enquirer of the 30th ult. thus
concludes n long article on the subject of the
Georgia controversy:—"If the U S. mean to com
ply with their compact of 1802 (and we should
not entertain any doubt of their good faith) they
must in some respects change their measures.
They must send no more such Special Agents on
such a high and responsible Errand. They must
order Gon. Gaines to show more respect for the
constituted authorities of one of the’states ot this
Union; they must impose silence upon Ins pen
even after the election, and bid him recollect,
that neither the respect which lie owes to ffimself,
to Georgia nor to the U. States, admits of the ar
rogant und disrespectful language, into which his
lings have betrayed him.—They must super
cede Colonel Crowell, und put in his place, some
ptrsoA, who commands (he confidence of the
country; Some man, who will neither be swerved
by kis interests or feedings; from carrying into
execution the large views und faithful pledges of
tne general government.’’
In the District Court of the city and countv of
Philadelphia, an ac ion of slander was recently
instituted by E II. Bunks, n young mechanic,
against John Gibbs, Lottery office keeper, Gibbs
laving charged him with having nllered lottery
tickets. A verdict was returned in favor of the
plaintiff for 750 dollars damages.
The sum of $9,000 the profits arising from the
labor of the convicts in the state prison for three
months, has been paid over to the Treasurer of the
State of New Hampshire, b) (he warden.

The letters give gloomy accounts of the state
of the cotton market, and announce; llmt another
respectable house, extensively en^ged in that'
trade, had stopped payment. Some of I he letters
mention the failure of a fifth house in the same
linq,-but of iesjfimportance, and u letter from Lon
don’of (be 22d, stales? that a cotton broaer in tlmf
city had suspended payment
These circumstances, added to the great sup
plitfs that had arrived, had pnralized (lie market
tor a time, und a further decline in price had ta
ken place. Uplands and Alalmmas are quoted
at (o lid; Orleans, 8A lo 13d; Carolina rice

Royal Junta of Pacification, a naff designating
their present quarters, parishes streets, and num
bers of the houses wliich' they occupied during
that time. The object of these orders is to pro

Military Commission of Mnlnga, in which many
cases of highway robbers are noticed ns having

We understand that Mr. Minns, the jit
tiior Editor ntul proprietor ofthe Pullndi
uni, left this town yestordny in the tunil
stage for NuW-York. This is not meiitlon
cd for the purpose of attractln<r public no
tice to the excursions of our edito iul fra
ternity ; least of ul|, to the movements of
one whose modesty Would shrink from miy
thing that would appear like ostentation
and who would not thank us for writing
this paragraph, if ho knew we were thus
employed; hut it is to record a fact some
what remarkable iti these days of travell
ing nnd note-taking celebrity. Mr. Minns
was born in Boston, is over 50 years of
age, and except in two instances was never
at a greater distance from it than ten or
a dozen miles. Mote than thirty years ago
business called him to Plymouth, and since
that period lie has once visited Providence
With these exceptions, his life has been
one continued scene of patient and uiuir
ing labor in the duties of bis profession,
und presents an example of industry,
economy, nnd application, which it would
he well for our craft if more would itni
title. It may also he remarked that the
same perseverance, economy and industry,
excited in tiny other pursuit, for s ch u
length ot time* would place a mat) in a
suite of perfect pecuniary independence
We dare say that our friend of whom we
are writing has seen hundreds of men with
less exertion less frugality and wo may
add less integrity accumulate their .thou
sands nnd millions. So true it is that the
race is not always to the swift, nor tin
hattlotuthe'.strong, neither yet broad tothi
wise nor vet riches lo men of u nderstand

the commissioner appointed in conjunc

Saturday evening accompanied hy Maj.
Biddle, Secretary to the Commissioners.
We are happy to state t hat the object* of
the expedition havo been completely
effected, to’ wit; the restoration of pence
to the various Indian tribes interested,
and the definite settlement of the limits
nnd boundary lines to their lands. The
Commissioners met at the Prairie ubout
the Inst of July, (Gov. Gass having reach
ed there by wny ofthe Fox und'Oijiecotm'tn
rivers,) and immediately entered upon
the performance of the dirties before them
which occupied them some ten or Twelve
dnys. The affairs of the Sioux appeared to
occupy the principal attention ofthe coun
cil, as they were inure of less involved
in disputes with all the other irafions
who attended the conferences. After a
patient hearing ofthe ptetensions’ofeach
parry, and a close investigation of their
respective claims, &,c. the boundaries of
the Sioux and Chippowas were adjusted,
and pence made between them. The
same was also ’done between the Foxes,
Socks, and fauns on the one part and the
Sioux subjected however lo the assent
ofthe Ynncton Siotix as’ respects their
dividing lines on the Missouri, which last
netnioned hand was not represented
in the council. The Wiiiherltigoes .and
Menominus were not very definite in their
claims hut it is supposed will enjoy the
country which they occupy as a common
stock) The Pottnwatnmies and Ottnwms
attached themselves pretty much to die
Chippcwns with whom'they wished tocotl-
nect tfieir claims.- .

Indians have made to each other, will he
observed with good faith. If this should

the fur trade in these distant regions ;
because the Indians may now explore
the whole of their country in peace nnd safe
ty and afnil themselves of rill thoir advan

to certain limits, which they dared not
cross for fear of their encmis.
