Messrs. Editors.— Since 1 last wrote yoit, nearly twelve
months has elapsed. I intended that epistle to bo my
last effort to influence public opinion, and expected, ever
•iter, to be a passive observer of public matters and po
litical events, yet it appears to me that many 1 regarded as I
•eatinels are either a-sleep, or engaged at such a post as
render their services unavailable, Consequently 1 am again
induced to raise my feeble voice.
It would seem from the great excitement that exists at
this time throughout the State, as to tiw mode of selling
• pirituous liquors, that a proper arrangement in that par
ticular, is the most important business we have before us.
I fear it something is not done on an extensive scale to
to relieve the people in their pecuniary embarrassments,
that the old plan of drowning ti cubic with the poison spo
ken of, w ill so generally be resorted to, that “fourteen gal
lons" will be Used wliere one is now made to answer al!
the purposes lot which spirituous liquor is taken, 1 have
frequently been told by dealers in the article, their sales'
proportions bly increased as the prosperity of those en- '
gaged in other pursuits declined. And as we see nearly I
the whole State (in common withmanv others oftlie Union) I
loaded with calamities that now are almost insupportable ;
•nd daily increasing, lets make a utiiu I and pow< rful ef
fort to overcome the cause. It appears to me (in this:
State particularly) it can be easily done by wise legisla
tion although I well know that many who hold money,
and are free from debt, profess to think difieicntlv, and
•uch would perhaps be willing tiiat half the people of the
State be rendered destitute of the means of support, and
those to whom such portion are indebted, have no othei
compensation than the little money they (the capitalists)
may have to pay for the property of this unfortunate class,
The aggregate of which is not 1 —IOO pan the value of
the property. It will come to this, Mr. Editor, if
something is not done, and that speedily, I am tired and
•ick with hearing of this hard money currency that is so
much spoken of, it would doubtless he a good one if a
dopted by the wot Id some centuries past, and no other in
troduced in the mean time, yet sir, to tiegin at this time,
• ituated as people generally ate, to adopt that system one
hundred years hence would not find a majority of the
people happy under it. We must first nearly all of us
hand our property over into the hands of a few, be
come amenable to their regulations, and virtually slaves,
with burthens that uegroe . of the present day know but
little of. It is not important at tills time to know who or
what has brought the ;..i-.ent state of things into exis
tence; whether it be tin- errors of Jm kson, Van Buren,
Benton, Calhoun, Ciay or Webster, (all great men ate
fallible, and those of a political character particularly lia
ble to err,) it may, to a great extent, be occasioned by
the mistaken or selfish policy of some of them, and it
may also he more extensive from the peoples’ overtrading,
® n g a ß’ng too extensively ;n speculations, extravagance, a
want bl lU'lustry, with other causes. Yet disease is among
us, and that general, let’s try and heal it ere it is too
deeply rooted to adm.t of remedy, and before half the
people of the State jxove its victims. What will du it?
Nothing but the be ? of paper we can mak-, that
will properly cir-u.it t; mt.ru..; shall we base that circu
lation entiudy upon spec i<- ? l x. JU |d say, certainly not,
since, as I have b' fore said, there Vs.but little of it, com
pared with the regulation or necessities of the people,
and cannbt sm.taiu t l .': < imun-i' cand agriculture of the
country, or the pres nt banking instituiion ttiart profess to
be found’d upon it, with either profit to stotkliohb-is or
facilities to the people. Then let’s have the general bank
ing law passed at the last se- ion of the Legislature, libe
rally amended, a portion of the circulation should draw a
low rate of interest, and not payable in specid on demand,
we can then have money based upon our own resources ;
this will supercede the necessity of going to Europe to ob
tain loans, and in my opinion prevent all the evils 1 have
•poken of. It was doubtlessly intended for good at the
"time it became a law, and would iiave prevented the gloat
distress that now exists among the people, had it been
passed with the same provisions some years previously;
yet if you neglect giving a drowning man a rope until his
powers for using it fur bi-; delivery are exhausted, some
additional assistance must Le given him to efi’ect the ob
ject. The kind of metal the present law requires to be
held by the institutiens tiiat may c lablish under it, is not
to be obtained to an extent that would render it prudent
to undertake to relieve the people by such circulation.—
There are tome other provisions that are oppressive and
injurious to the comnnmity. My object in this communi
cation is to try aud contribute my mite in drawing the at
tention of the pt epic to ttie subject I have mentioned,
and induce them to I .'ave others for after consideration.
The State of Ohio f ind perhaps other Slates) liave pass
ed a law that when a judgment against an individual is
obtained who hold* property that it be properly apprarzed,
and cannot he sob! by virtue <■!' an execution tor less than
2-3 of the amount as repotted by authorized commission
ers. Perhaps this •tute by a proper amendment of the
free banking jaw wr.'l avoid a general sacrifice of proper
ty without resorting to such means. A - B.
Steam Shipt.— According to present appearances, there
will be, m 1840, thirteen large and splc ndid sti nni ships
running across the Atlantic ocean, ea< h of which will be
eight or nine bundled tons burthen.

[Correspondence of the U. S. Gazette ]
New-York, October 19.
At about three o’clock yesterday afternoon, a gun from
the Nu-amet Liverpool announced tiiat she was about leav
ing the whait on tier return voyage home. Immediately]
aftei wards she was seen ploughing her way down the East
River, and before dark she was riding on the waves of the
Atlantic. Sire takes out but thirty-three passengers, who
will no doubt have a more pleasant voyage in her than '
those who came out in her, as she was then so crowded :
that all idea of comfort was out of the question—so load- j
ed, that the passengt rs’ saloon was filled with passengers’
baggage.
It is certainly highly teprel-.t nsible on the part of the
managers ol the concern in Liverpool, that they take more
passengers than they can conveniently accommodate; the
excuse they give is that an hour or two before the hour
fixed fur the departure of the steamship, they are over
whelmed by applications, and their previous determina
tion overpowered by the entreaties of passengeis arriving
from differents parts of Europe, who oiler any sums for a
passage.
The Liverpool has on board $324,04)0 in coin, of which
$153,000 were shipped by the Girard Bank of your city,
and 115,(JO:) byone firm here, supposed to be Brown,:
Brothers & Co. A sudden demand for sterling bills'
sprang up two or three hours only before the departure of
the steamer, and some considerable amount was sold at 9
a 9| premium. The banks were avuong the sellers ; the
buyers, as far as can be ascertained, were chiefly import
ers.
It is a strong proof of the cautious manner in w hich this
latter class of our merchants carry on their business, that
notwithstanding tfie excessive scarcity of money generally
prevailing, they are still able to command their means, so
as to remit funds to their friends in England. It is prob
able, however, that in the present state of the Engligh
money market, houses there are urgent in their demands
fur remittances.
The money market of yesterday was never before in
such a state, a large Tea sale fell due, then added to the |
universal embarrassment. The confidence in our Banks
maintaining specie payments is however daily gaining
ground, and it is understood that in the course of this week,
they will afford some relief. Stocks were somewhat firm
er on Saturday, and at the first board, United States Bank
shares, were full 2 per cent, better, at the second board,
nothing was done in them, but the general aspect of the
Stock market remained good. Philadelphia Bank notes
are at a discount of 14 als per cent.; Drafts on Phila
delphia closed at 124.
The ship Horatio, from Canton, arrived last night. All ;
the British residents had left that place, and all business !
was still suspended there. They were collected in Ma- :
c.oa, with the principal American residents. Private let- '
tors talk of the landing of powder at Macoa, from the
British and American ships, and a determination to act !
aggressively towards the Chinese, hut I expect those are
written under the impulse of more feeling than judgment,
and that Captain Elliot, the British resident, will prevent
all hostile acts till he receives instructions from Lome. It
is said that a mutinous spiiit has shewn itself among the
Chinese in consequence of the loss they sustained bv the
interdiction of the foreign trade.
It commenced blowing a severe gale here last night, at
about 9 o’clock, wbicfi lasted until 5 o’clock this morning.
It will probably have been felt by many vessels on the
r<n«», which it must have blown off, as it came from the
N. N. E.

MILITARY SEVERITY.
Can it be true?— Wo learn from a friend at Trenton,
on whom we place implicit reliance, that but a few days
have expired since the act of “drumming out of camp,’’
with all its attendants and horrible concomitants, was per
formed at Camp Washington, near that city. Our infor
mant gives us tho following description of this disgraceful
exhibition. The culprit bad deserted:—His hair was first
shorn off as close to his head as possible ; the letter D. was
then branded on his thigh; afterwards he ieceived fifty
lashes on his bare back, and thus disfigured and lacerated
ho was finally drummed out of camp. We thought we
lived in a Christian country, and grieve to think we have
been deceived. We thought that the days of burnings,
and cuttings, and lashings were long since extinct—in this
land of “(iospel light and Liberty,’’at least.; but we have
been solacing omselves with a dream. We had supposed
i that the military dis< ipiic.e of the United States was a rigid
ilxmgli raiionai one—while we find bv the above that it is
brutish ami haibarous, and unworthy of a nation who pro
f sto aspire to a lolly moral vlevation. We ask with
mingled emphasis and disgust, can such things exist!
Serious Accident.— Yesterday afternoon, soon ester the
arrival of the cars at the Rail-road Depot, one of the mid
dle horses, attached tn the nmnibns, became frightened,
and starting the rest, the six run off down the hill nnd de
spite the exertions of a skilful driver, Mr. Runnels, upset
. the omnibus in an old field, (ground verv broken and hil
ly) nnd llie driver, we rcgiet to state, had by the fall, •
leg badly broken in two places. It was very fortunate
that the passengers by the car had not taken their seats.l
The omnibus was cunsidcrably injured*— lb.

FROM HAVANA.
By several anivals on Saturday, we have received eu>'
correspondence from this place to the 19tli inst. inclusive.
Business was begitin.ng to a-sume a very aciive appear
ance; and when the late happy in'; lligence from the Pen
insula shall reach the already gay and "most faithful citv,”
the presumption is strong that the reception of the news
will be celebrated on a slate of grandeur commensurate
with tho bright prospects now dawning upon the unfortu
nate mother country. On the 10th the anniversary of her
olajesty’s birtu day was cummemmorated with unusual
magnificence, the < itizens turning out en masse, which to
gether with the military, firmed cue of the must imposing
.processions imagiu.il>l -. A De-Deum waschaunted iu the
chapel de la rea' Casa de Henejiceiicia.
On the 18th the English packet Swift arrived at Hava
na from Tampico, having on board $700,000 iu specie,
and at the same time the \ era Cruz packet was hourly ex
pected with a larger amount.
About the 15th Sir Lionel Smith, late Governor of Ja
maica, and suite, ariived at Havana in the biig of war
Serpent; and in a day or two afterwards sailed for New-
York, on his way to England.
The following extract of a letter addressed to us gives a
very lively account of the spiiit of tho times now at Ha
vana:
“ You will see by the papers forwarded you the whole
rangement of our Italian Opera, from the names of the
singers down to the most minute particulars. The “Em
presario,” Don 1 rancisco Marti, lias given, I am told, ve
ry heavy bonds for the faithful performance of his part of
the contract. Without some security for the regular pay
ment ol their high salaries, the company could not have
been kept together. H e shall have a biilliant succession
I am told, of new pieces, and same of the best of the old
stock. Altogether, the “season” is likely to be a lively
one, as will in the pleasures as in the business of society;
for the planters will make large crops—aud Dau Carlos’
upset may possibly alleviate some of the burthens of the
people ; actual burthens they can scarcely coinplain of, in
a country where all who choose to work can live At thrive ;
but whether they would “go ahead” faster with less ta'xes,
is sometimes questioned. Only think of paying four times
as much tor one’s bread as it costs w here it is grown!

J The ship Mozart arrived last night from Havre, bring
ing dates to the 21st September. Tliere wis no change
in the Cotton Market. The United Stales Bank drafts
had not been taken up by the house of Rothschilds, as be
fore reported, but, it was said that other arrangements were
about being made by Mr. Jaudon, who was then in Paris.

ORIENTAL AF-’AIRS.
The news brought by the Great W estern sreius to indi
cate that the Turkish question will be arranged bv the five
great powers of Etfrope—England, France, Russia, Prus
sia, and Austria. Lord Palmerston has assured the Par
liament that the Sublime Port would suspend all negotia
tions with Mehemet Ali, until suggested or approved by
the Ministers ofihe Jive Powers. This act of diplomacy
must, tor the present, preserve the peace of Europe.
It does not, however, appear what are the terms which
the five powers propose for the adjustment of the contro
versy between tho youthful Sultan, Abd-ul-Medjid, and
his powerful viceroy of Egypt. Mahammed Ali will
doubtless insist upon his former pretensions to the pacha
licks of Syria and to the island of Canada. He w ill also
pretend to the hereditary possession of these pachalicks by
his family, thus establishing an Egyptian dvnastv. W illi
this concession on the part of the Sultan, and its guarantee
by the European powers, he will doubtless be content with
his de facto independence, regardless of any speculative
distinction that may he drawn by diplomatists between
that coadition of political existence and a de jure indepen
dence.—Globe.
'I he Savannah Banks.— lt affords us j-leasure to state
that the Banks in Savannah have not suspended specie
payments. Their condition was never sounder than at
this time, as their exhibits lately published in our columns
will show, and with the same confidence reposed in them
by the community, as is reposed in those of New York
by that community, we trust that they will be aide to
weather the storm. Events look cheering in New York,
and u e shall he pleased to see the course of the mammoth
Bank in Philadelphia, condemned by the course of future
events.
W e have not learned of the suspension of any Banks
in Georgia, except thr Bank of Aut>rsta, and the Au
gusta Insurance and Banking Company.—lb.
REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES NEVER CHANGE.
I lie New York Courier Jj- Enquirer, speaking of the
Georgia Election, and Georgia politics savs:
“Patties in Georgia, and politicians, are so mixed up,
that we think it would he difficult for any man to precise
ly "define his position.”
e can see no difficulty in the way at nil.—The De
mocratic Republican party of Georgia, has, never hoisted
false lights. True “as the needle to the pole,” that par
ty has labored for the good of t!:e w hole people—and it
has been jtistiv rewarded by a glorious ttiumph over
ri-derahsm and ‘‘ Whiggi it w b:c.h is hut an earnest of
the s.ill greatei victory the D'-moctarv of Georgia will
achieve in the Fall of 1840, n ||,. n t | le p , J ; S ( | ia t ac
tuated the men of’76, will be practically illustrated by the
re-election ofMaitin Van Buren to tin Presidential chair.
We can, we repeat, see no difficulty in “defining rur
position.” Oui opponents, however, may be rather puz
zled to do the same.— Savannah Georgian.

they yield their necks to a In avy yoke that, once on, they
