From the Correspondence ofthe Charles ton Courier. WASHINGTON, JULY 18,1839. \fter a protracted silence---;*)*! lonuo in tervallo— 1 resume my pen to give you the substance of a report which has for some Jays agitated our usually stoical communi tv. A deep mystery has hitherto involved the fate of the Hornet , which was supposed to have foundered, years ago, in a gale; and every circumstance, however improbable, which related to her position, when last seen, has been ferreted out and narrated, with a de 'ree of minuteness which evinces the deep feelings which, to this day, exists iu relation to her fate. Anew and startling light has been suddenly cast upon the rnvstery, by the offer of an individual to ex hibit proofs that this ill-fated vessel outlived the gale, iu which it was believed that she perished, and met her distinction from enemies more cruel than the elements. The name of the individual it would be obviously improper to publish until his sto ry shall have assumed a more definite and authentic form, and the testimony, by which it is to be established, shall have been obtained. The amount of the disclo sure here made is that, after pa sing through the gale, in safety, her magazine was fired |,y conspirators, bribed to effect this diabol ical purpose by the head ofa foreign govern ment, and that four hundred brave men were thus instantaneously hurried into eternity, in a moment of entire self-security, and while the iniercharge of congratulations for their preservation from the prey of wind and wave was yet unfinished. He who voluntarily comes foward to make this dis closure states that he was not himself pres ent at the catastrophe; but that a friend was there; and for this friend lie requires pardon in the establishment ofthe truth of his statement. lie also asks for a pecunraty reward for himself. The evidence on r«hicli lie proposes to establish the facts is the pro duction ofthe ship's log book i pm the mo ment ofthe catastrophe aim also ofthe pri vate letters of the officers, with other testi ui my of a corroborative character. The subject is ndiw before the Navy Board, and has led to frequent and long deliberation. But they w ill not be able to come to any conclu sion as to the conditions 4 remired by the in formant. Indeed, they have no authority vested in them to make stipulations ofa pe cuniary’nature. It is said that the President has been written to on the subject, and that the ulterior proceedings in the case will de pend on his reply, The members of the Board are inclined to attach importance to the statement of this man, inconsequence ol some private communication which he has made Concerning the motive to the insti gation of this awful outrage, which motive they deem satisfactoriy aud sufficient. For the sake of humanity and for the sake ol our country, it is to he hoped that no effort will be spared to elucidate the whole of this affair ; and, be the consequences what they may, to work retribution in those by whom this scheme was planned, and by whose in fluence it was carried into effect. J'iutjun tiUa, pci eat mundus. From the Georgia Journal. EXTRAVAGANCE OF NATIONAL EXPENDITURES. We have occasionally adverted to tlie to pic of tlie extravagance of the National Ex pendit'nes, and we cannot help hut loel that it is a subject which should command the serious attention of the American peo ple. If our Government is ever to he res tored to its original purity, the first effective blow, to the accomplishment of so desirable a result, must be given by the. people and it must be struck at the extravagance of our public officers. Who is there, in the pres ent day, will dare to controvert the charge, so often made, that there is, in the adminis tration of the attbirs of the General Govern ment, an extravagant, and wasteful expen diture of the peoples’ money 1 It there be one so far behind the history oj t.ot limes, and lie seeks for proof, let him but examine the official reports of the officers of every Department of tlie Government, and he will find not only enough to satisfy him ol the truth of the charge, hut he will retire from the investigation with a consciousness that the days of Republican simplicity are pass ed, and that they are no longer models used for imitation by our present public func tionaries. We have before us a pa pet which furnish es us with afcw facts in relation to this sub ject which we desire, on the present occa sion, to present to our readers. The con tingentexpenses of the House of Representa tives in 1839, amounted to the extravagant sum of two hundred and seventy-two thou sand dollars. Ofthis suin there is charged for making pens, o/ih/’liuee hundred and six ty-eight dollars. Also, thirty-two dollars and seventy-five cents for snutf. Five hun dred and ten dollars, tor folders and seals. Six hundred and ninety eight dollars for cartridge,paper. Four thousand three hun dred and sixty-six dollars for horse hire— and one hundred and forty-five dollats for a pingh paper, the Globe. So much for the few items of. among the many, contingent expenses of the House ol Representatives •luring the last session. In the General Post Office Department, we find an item charged thus, "foe dinners at Taverns for illerks," one. hundred and eighty-eight dol lars, and three hundred and eighty-seven dollars for Newspapers. In the War De partment, eight hundred and eigty four dol lars and eight cents for Newspapers. In the Treasury Department, nine hundred and seventy-seven dollars and ninety-three cents, and in the Navy Department, four hundred and fifty dollars and seventy cents for News papers, also. Making in the aggregate, for the public officers in Washington Citv, the mormons sum, for Newspapers, of I\V O THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND NINETY NINE DOLLARS AND SEV KNTY ONE CENTS. What prodigali ty! ! In addition to this, let any one take the trouble to examine bow the different ap propriations of Congress have been disbur sed by public agents, and he will find the same extravagance jierva.on£ Pve O UepStft- ment of the Government, from the Presi dent lyiuself down to the scullion iu the kitchen. Intimately connected with this subject is the negligence of the Administration to enforce settlements with public agents who rail to make them at the proper period, and lo punish defaulters. Who would for a moment suppose that when the Govern ment v/aaforced to the issuing of Treasury Notes, there was then, in the hands of its a gents, ilie very considerable sum of FIF TH KN MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, un accounted for? The public documents prove this to have been the case. Is it not a crying evil ? But this is uot all. Tbe people have lost by the Land Office alone*, eight hundred and twenty-five thousand, six hundred and seventy eight dollars ami twen ty-eight cents. In view of all this, is there any wonder that the people should be told that its Government is bankrupt whilst its agents are wantonly rioting in the use of their money ? Is there any wonder that the peopD are severely taxed, the merchants ru ined, aud an alarming crises created every two or three years, in the mpnied opera tions ol the country ? Is there no remedy ? Must the people submit/ We answer. No! They are even now preparing to rise in their might and rebuke their rulers. Modem Democracy will be stifled in it« growth, and the indignation ofa virtuous people aroused as it is into action, can and will again restore the Government to its original purity. We shall pursue this srbject occasionally. At present, our limits do not permit us to say more. THE MIRROR Matiirtiay, August 3, 1830. For President, GEORGE M. TROUP. For Governor , CHARLES DOUGHERTY FOR THE LEGISLATURE. SENA TE. LOVERD BRYAN. Ji E r A’ ES ENT A TIVES , WILLI ARD BOYNTON, JOHN WEST, JOSEPH WOOD. The indisposition of the family of one ol the Editors, and of a couple ot the hands be longing to this office, must form a sufficient apology for the absence of our usual quan tity of reading matter thio week. It is estimated that the cotion crop ofTex as will be more than four times ay great as that of last year. »•.., The Great Western brings news from Liverpool, of a decline in Cotton of |d. WttitAM Stafford, Esq. has be**n ap pointed Post Master at this place, vice Col H W. Jkrnigan, resigned. The Superior Court for this county, will commence its session on Monday next. It is said that the dockets are pretty well crow ded with business. A Watermelon was raised on tlie planta tion of Col. Elbert Lawis, near this place weighing 47 pounds. According to all accounts Mr. A r an Bu ren seems not to be reaping as milch “glori fication” as he anticipated from his great Northern tour. Notwithstanding his ardu ous and zigzag race after the fleeting demon strations of popular favor that were so copi ously showered upon the old chief, his pre decessor, during a similar tour, he seems to gather nothing more thafi a few feeble shouts from the ‘ ragtag and bobtails” of his party, composing a mob who pursues President in his travels with the same spirit that a parcel of mischievous boys would run after au tin lucky dog with a paper of shot tied to hi s tail. In New York, it is true, he was met with great cordiality by Slam Bang & Cos. and made a huge Sub-Treasury speech to the assembled populace at Castle Garden, but the staunch old Democrats of the Party sullenly kept aloof from the servile show.— Gen. Jackson visited the same city in 1834 and was received amidst the thuuderings «1 cannon and the roar of public acclamations; Mr. Van Bureti is greeted in 1839 with tlie hoarse clamors of Fanny Wrightism, Jaco binisrn, Agrarianism, and all the other dis graceful isms to be found in a population like that of New A'ork. A partizan President, on an electioneering tour, cannot expect to meet with that cordi al and open hearted reception due to the Chief Magistrate of the Nation, and which under other circumstances would be cheer fully accorded to him, whatever might be his sentiments on questions ol general poli cy. Mr. Van Bu'eu and his friends cannot therefore, be surprised that the corporation of the city of Hudson, his former place of residence, should refuse to tender to him the hospitalities of the city. Dignity and inde pendence of character tequired such a course from the public authorities, and they de serve eminent applause for the firmness dis played by them on the occasion. We re member being in that same city just before Mr. Van Buren was formally nominated as a candidate for the Presidency, and it was there that we caught the first glimpse we ever had of his gracious countenance. He was then surrounded by a mob as he moved along the street in his fine English carriage, dodging his bald pate, first on this side and then on that, with his !»at in bis hand, and smiling in winning condescension upon tbe crowd that occupied the side walks and at tended him in his entrance iuto the city.— He was then Vice President, a„d it was well known that he was soon to be nominated by a Baltimore Convention as the candidate for President, having already been appointed successor by Gen. Jackson, whose dictum alone, was sufficient to bring the office hold ers and leaders of the Jackson parti), (for Jackson was not the leader of his own partv) into his support; but for the life of us, we could not believe that the American people, would so far yield up their liberties iuto the hands of one man, as to permit him to ap point a ruler for them. But, 90 it is, we were mistaken in our estimate of General Jack son's authority, (not his popularity, for we were aware of that,) and his appointment was duly confirmed, without a refeience to the qualifications of the appointed. Mr. Van Buren is now President, howev er, Mid although his btief Administration has threatened to outdo all fortnei ones on the score of extravagance a: and corruption, still, he is the first officer of this great nation, and respect should be shown to him ns such, so long as he maintains the dignity of his sta tion; but when, as iu the present instance, he departs from that high honor and impar tiality which should distinguish the head of a free people, and lowers himself down to the standard of a drivilling demagogue, by travelling about through the country ma king partizan speeches, the people are right to turn away from hint with deep disgust. We would be glad, if some of the leading Van Buren Editors in Georgia, who (irate so loudly about their Democratic and Jefferso nian principles, would take up the Kentucky Resolutions, which were drawn up by Mr. Jefferson's own hand, and reconcile them with the principles of Gen, Jackson's Proc lamation and the Force Bill. As they pro fjss, also, to believe in the Virginia Resolu tions. and in Mr. Madison’s Report thereon, we should like to see them publish these in teresting documents and comment upon the doctrines they contain. If they really do believe in the principles set forth and main tained iu those important papers, then it is utterly impossible for them to believe also, in the Proclamation and Force Bill, which are the perfect antipodes of the former; then too, we are prepared to hail them as breth ren aud co-workers in the same great cause of State Rights anJ constitutional Liberty; for we, too, love the Union, and hope that its blessings may be perpetuated throughout all coming time : But we wish to preserve the Union, by preserving our glorious Con stitution in its purity, and by protecting that sacred instrument from the ruthless attacks of an irresponsible majority in Congress, by throwing around it the impenetrable iEgis of State Rights. If, however,our Vau Bu ren friends in this State, ot' at least, those who are styled leaders of that party, still hold to the Proclamation as their “confes sion of faith,” and yet announce themselves Jeffersonians, and Republicans bf the old school, they are certainly practising one of the most stupendous frauds ever played off upon gaping credulity. It is evidently, a snare in which to catch the unwary and un thinking; and many, no doubt, have been {lrawu iuto its meshes by the fraudulent de vice. There are hundreds of honest men in the country, whose opportunities have never permitted them to investigate for themselves the great fundamental principles of the Gov ernment under which they reside, aud who, with a credulity characteristic of honesty aro always ready to join with those who make the loudest professions of patriotism. But like the followers of the ‘ veiled Pro phet of Kliorsssarl,” it is to be ftjared that many of them will read their error only in the downfall of the temple of liberty, llo kanua preached, “Those words of sunshine, freedom to a world,” and yet, was ail the while engaged in plot ting its subjection to his own foul despotism. With the high and holy pteceptsof morality fresh upon his lips, he would retire to revel in crimes of the blackest and deepest hue. Having concealed his face behind a “silver veil.” under the pretence of hiding a glory too dazzling to he seen with safety by his followers, he exercised a blind, though un limited sway over them, until, at length, in his extremity, he exposed to their astonish ed vision a mass of the most loatbesomede formity, and taunting them with their cre dulity and folly, exclaimed, “Ye would be dupes and victims, and ye are.’ Then indeed, did they regret tiie unsuspecl ng blindness with which they had listened to his hypocritical counsels; but, alas, thei,. eyes were opened only in the midst of the common ruin, in which the hideous mon ster had involved them. Shakspeare asks, “Whats in a name?” and answering adds, “That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” But with due deference to the memory of that immortal bard, we imagine that there is rather more of poetry than truth in the quotation. The magic of a name for a while wrought wonders in the political ele ments in Georgia; for we well remember what a thrill was produced in our bosoms when the captivating sound of UNION was first rung in our ears in contradistinc tion to Nullification and State Rights. But a little reflection soon taught us, that how ever dear to our souls the UNION might be, Liberty was yet a little dearer; and that neither the one nor the other could long be preserved without the interposition of State Sovereignty, whenever, the Con stitution which was framed for their protec tion, should be assailed. State Rights and the Constitution then became with us more favourite terms than Union had ever been before; and so they did with all who hon estly investigated the subject. This is manifest from the fact, that thousands who at the impulse of the moment, and from loug cherisl ed feelings of affection towards the Union, over eve.y other consideration, when its lords had well uigh been loosened by the Proclamation that followed the Or dinance of South Carolina, arrayed them selves under that banner which had inscri bed upon it, the name of Union, and after wards upon mature reflection, united with that party whose watchword is “Liberty first, then the Constitution, and then the Union.” The people of Georgia, who a lirst were frightened with the bare idei of Nullification, have now become familiar with it as one of the remedies for the viola ted lights of a Stale, and hare long siuce ceased to regard it as the “raw head and bloody bones,” it was represented to be by those who wiHied to take advantage of their prejudices and credulity, to lift themselves into power. In short, the treat body of the people are beginning to regard the doctrine of State Rights, as the true conservative doctrine of the constitution, and are there fore fast shaking off the shackles of a party, that like the See of Rome would perpetu ate its power by keeping its devotees in ig norance. Hence it is, that many of the leaders of the Van Buren, or Union Party, as they us ed to love to term themselves, now profess to advocate State Righ/s, and believe in the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions, when they know well enough, tnat the principles upon which their party was built up, are those of consolodatiou and Federalism. TENNESSEE PATRIOT. We received, a few days ago, a number of the blackguard sheet, that flourishes under the above coguumeu. What its editor could have meant by sending it to us, we cannot imagine, without it was to hear our opinion of its demerits, to which he is heartily wel come. As if to show the slavish character of his columns, and to announce to the world that he wears his master’s collar, the editor has hoisted as a motto, “ IVe follow in Ve foot steps.” This alone, was sufficient for us, without looking further into the sheet. But prompted by curiosity to see what tiie mind of so slavish a creature could produce, we glanced over his editorial, and closed the filthy affair with a sickening sensation of dis gust. Detraction, slander, and gross black guardism seem to be the ouly weapons with which he is familiar, and these se-iu tube principally) directed against the Whig can didate for Congress in his district, simply because he is a Whig. Out of the twenty five or thirty squibs which fill up his edito rial columns fifteen of them, containing personal abuse, are levelled at Col. John W. Crockett, son of the lamcuted David Crock ett. Notwithstanding the deep disgust with which we dosed this disgraceful affair, we could not forbear a few reflections iu rela tion to the glowing licentiousness of the press in some sections of the country. It is an evil which cries aloud for reform, and which, if not corrected, threatens to inciease the moral depravity every where visible throughout the land. The taste of the reading public is in a great measure, con trolled by the emissions of the newspaper press, and it is always easier for a depraved and licentious press to vitiate the minds and feelings of its readers, than it is sot tliC most mbral and high toned publication to elevate the thoughts and character of those who draw upon its columns for information and amusement. We are, thereflirC, sorry to see that such a paper as the Patriot, can find nourishment iu the enlightened State of Tennessee, and that it ever became our tnisfortuuc to notice In 1800 the circulation of the New York Daily Press, was four thousand one hun dred sheets. Since then it lias increased more than thirteen hundred percent. The circulation in the ciry at present, is fifty-six thousand four hundred sheets; In Baltimore the daily circulation in was four thousand eight hundred sheets.— It is now upwards of nineteen thousand. The circulation of the weekly press in Philadelphia, in 1 8 20, was less than three thousand. It is now stated to lie more titan eighty thousand. This is oue evidence of the great and increasing power of the press. How important is it therefore, that >ts con. ductors should be honest and faithful in th e discharge of their high and responsible du ties ? PRINTING. The discovery of this invaluable art is generally attributed to Koster in the year 1430; but there is a strong probability that it originated in China, and was practised to some extent 'here, long before it was intro duced into Europe. The Romans it is said, also, used stereotypes, or printing immova ble types in stamping tlieir wares; and it is astonishing that they did not sooner apply the art, which they really, though uncon sciously possessed, to the priming of books. In 1441, inetal types began to be used by Faust and Geitisileieli, by the former Os whom the Bible was first printed, Tlie tra dition of the devil and Dr. Faustus origina ted in the circumstances connected with the appearance of Faust’s Bible. Having dis covered the art, and wishing to conceal his discovery, he printed in secret a large num ber of copies, and offered them for sale in Paris as manuscripts, at the reduced price of sixty crowns, while other scribes wereasking five hundred, This created universal as tonishment, which was increased to the high est pitch by his producing copies as fast as they were wanted, with the utmost uniform ity and correctness. Informations were lodged against him as a magician; and in searching his house a great many other co pies were found, together with a large quan tity of red ink, which was said to be human blood, and it was accoulingly adjudged that he wa* in league with the Prince of dark* ness. He only saved himself from a bonfire by revealing Ids discovery. In 1471 printing was introduced into En gland by William Caxtou, a wealthy mer chant, and soon afterwards, became gener ally practised throughout all Europe.— Books, primed at that early period, present to tbe reader of this age, some curious sid eline ns of the typographical art. We had once, in our possession, a book of travels, written by sir Jolpi Mandeville and printed almut the year 1800, which was really a cu riosity, both as regards the printing and the orthography. The first letter of every chapter had been omitted, leaving a space, which was afterwards filled w ith letters pain fed in vaiious colours mostly blue and red. Xr the lime of that publication the English 'anguage was also, in its infancy, and 110 re gard whatever, was (mid to orthography, the most simple words being spelt in a variety of ways on the same page. Some literary thief, ionderof antiquarian studies than ourself, (filtered the book, though as a simple relic of ancient times, and ofthe early days of our art, we would scarcely have parted with it for any consideration. The Courier and Enquirer says that Abijah Mann, late M. C. for New York, is an applicant for the office of Treasurer ofthe United States, made vacant by the removal of Mr. Campbell. He is disap pointed, William Selden of Virginia having received the apnointmen’. This Mr. Selden was defeated as a can didate for Cougress at the late election in Virginia, and already he has received Ins reward from the Execurive. The pay in this instance has been made with rather more than usual promtitude. The case, however, is but another added to a thous and proofs, that the surest wav to recom mend one’s self to the favor of the admin istation is to forfeit the confidence of the community. It is an old English maxim, that “the King can do do wrong,” but the President's maxim appears to be, that the people can do no right. Most heartily do they reciprocate his very flattering opin ion. The President can reward his friends when the people reject them, but what can he do for himself iu 1840 when the peo ple reject him,! lias he thought of that? A loco foco in Wheeling has hit upon anew expedient for making money. He advertises a proposition to establish “a dog fightcry—admission 25 cents.” Old Bachelors. — We know of no other portion of society who live more lonely than old bachelors They eat alone, go to bed alone, rise alone, tnd go to the devil alone.
