THE MINT.
Although our limits do not admit of
our republishing the majority of the
lengthy reports which at this season of
the year fairly inundate the press, we
cannot refrain from inserting the an
nexed abridged account of the con
Ci ins of the Mint. The increase in
it-, receipts of gold from Carolina is
truly remarkable.
From the Report
Os the Directors of the Mini, for
1829.
There have been coined,
Half Eag<es, 67,442 making $287,210
Quarter do. 3 403 8,607
Half Dollars 3,712.156 1,856,078
D'mes, 770.0U0 77,000’
Half do. 1,2j0,000 61500
Cents, 1,4 14,500 14,145
Half do. 487,000 2,435
7 574.501 82,306,876
Os the amount of gold bullion, de-,
posited at t|ie Mint, within the last:
year, about $131,000 were received
from Mexico, South America, and the!
Wesi Indies,* g 22,000 from Africa;
about gl 2,000 from sources not ascer
tained; Ac the residue, about g 134,000,
from North Carolina, and the adja
cent Slates of South Carolina and
Virginia. The proportion from North
Carolina may be stated at 128,000;
that from South Carolina, at 3,500,
and that from Virginia, at 2,500.
The first notice of gold from North
Cerolioß, on the records of the Mint
recurs in the year ISO 4, within which
it v as received to the amount of 11000
rki'ars. It continued to be received
during the succeeding years, until
1824. inclusive, in varying amounts,
aij mlirigr, however, to that of the.
i year first mentioned, and ..u an aver
age not exceeds • 2,500 yearly, In
1824, the amount received was 5,000:
in J 825, it had increased to 17,000; in
1826, it was 20,000; in 1827 about
21,000; and in 1 828, nearlv 46,000.
In 1829, as above stated, it was l°B,-
000.
This remarkable increase'in the n
mount of gold received from North
Carolina, during the years following
1824, has been considered of sufficient
interest to be noted in the annua! re
ports of the Mint. since that period.
The circumstance will attract at
tention, from the facts now as
certained, that the gold region of the
United States extends far beyond ‘he
locality to which it has heretofore ap
peared’ to be limited. Gold bullion
was not received from Virginia, or S
Carolina, until within the last year; or
if at all received, it has hern in quan.
tities too inconsiderable to have been
especially noticed. The gold from
all these localities is found, in its in*,
tive Stale, to be, on an average, near
ly of the same fineness as the standard
of our gold coin.
Imprisonment for Debt.
In a letter from 11. M* Johnson,
Member of Congress from Kentucky,
to a committee m New York, relative
to this subject* that distinguished ad
vocate of freedom of person and opin
ion* remarks as follows;
“I aui induced to believe that Ken
tucky is the only country on the globe,
where the debtor cannot, under any
circumstances , be imprisoned for debt*
It was confidently asserted, that Hie
abolition of the old system vuwld
produce great frauds, annihilate crcd
t, work injustice, and reduce the state
o confusion. ‘Time lifts dissipated
these fears, and proved them to have
been imaginary. I have no hesitation
in asserting, from my knowledge
within that portion of the State where
in I reside, that since the al> i
olition of imprisonment f>r debts,!
in the State of Kentucky, a million j
of dollars more have been paid than!
would have been under a rigorous!
excution of the laws of imprisonment
for debt. The system of credit was
never more sound and healthy; and
how consoling the reflection that jails
are alone devoted to the confinement
of the felon,’
MRS. ROYAL.
On friday last, our city was visited
by Mrs. Anna Royal, author of the
‘Tennesseean/ ‘ Black Book.’ ‘Penn
sylvanian,’ <Sj'r. <£*e. Her fame had
long since reached us; and her arrival
immediately threw our tranquil me
tropolis, in commotion. Many visited
her; while others seemed desirous of
avoidi g her, as if apprehensive ol
having their names conspicuously
inserted in the Black Book.— All who
saw her, affirmed that they bad never
seen her like before; and all who came
within the range of her colloquial
powers, were—fully convinced that
she wr Ids a weapon equally as pow
erful as her pen. She is now op her
grand Southern tour, which she pur
poses extending as far as New Or
leans,— Yesterday morning she left
this for Fayetteville; whence she will
proceed to Charleston, via Wilming

ILLUSTRIOUS SHOEMAKERS;
Gifford and Drew were hoHi shoe
makers, so was Uolcroft, whose dra
matic works have done him so much
honor; Robert Bloomfield was a shoe
maker when lie wrote his ‘Farmers
Boy.’ Doctor Wm. Carey, Professor
ol Sanscrit and fcangalee, in the Col
lege of Fort W illiam, Calcutta, was
in eai ly life a shoemaker; so is Mr.
John Strothers, the author of ‘The
PoorMarPs Sabbath/ ‘The Pcasant‘B
Death/ and other Poems. Roger
Sherman, of Connecticut, one of the
able signers of American Independ
ence, was also a shoemaker. He
worked at his trade till lie was twenty
one years of age, at Newton, near
Boston, from thence he emigrated to
Connecticut, and by assiduity in civil
