Serious and disgraceful riot. —lt is long since our city lias been as deeply disgraced as it was last evening, about (i o'clock, by a riot ami bloody fight, which took place near the commencement of the Bowery, between fire companies Nos. 40 and 15. How it immediately originated we did uot learn ; but, on arriving at iliesp>t while the tight was at its height, we found the Bowery, from the con nienceineut to Bayard street, blocked up by an immense collection ol people crowding round to witness the allray. The two engines stood side by side in the middle of the throng, and around them were numerous members of the two companies, lighting like common blackguards. We observed the foreman of one of the companies, we understood of No. 10, a res pectable young man, making hi 9 way out of the midst of the belligerents, endeavor ing to escape an encounter, when he was pitched upon by some of No. 15’s men. Useless was remonstrance. His trumpet was snatched from him, he was grappled with, greaily against his will, blows were showered upon him like hail stones, and his clothes much torn before he was ctr ried out of our sight by tbs press of as sociates. How lie got oif we did not see. Lacerations, bGck eyes, hruis'saiid blood, disfigured almost every face that we saw. Sunroof the lighters were just drunk enough to be devils, and, indeed, t would have been less disturb men and disgrace of the city had they been helplessly drunk. while (he fight was raging. No. 37 came along in a perfectly orderly and respectable manner, and pressed their way, with their engine through the mob as though they felt the disgrace the department was suffer ing. Their passing' had t lie e licet of stop ping the fight, and dispersing ll.e mob, and No. 15 was dra. gcd off by her company with shouts of victory.-— New York Sun. Another Murrell gang route l. —The Lit tle Rock Times and Advocate publishes the following extract from a letter dated Washington Cos. Ark., Aug. 3,1839. The citizens of this county have taken the affair of the Wright murder into their own hands, believing it to be the only means to rid the country of this muderous Murrell gang of outlaws—they seem to think that there is a gang leading from the western put of this State to Texas; and if possible worse than Murrell's. They have good reasons for so thinking, from a chain of cir cumstances brought to light on the examin ation of liic.h.noqd, one of the three persons who were hung on Monday las’. It uppers that there are several others in this country, or that live here when at home. Richmond could in t give the names of all -concerned i'i this gang, as he was the last man that joined it. The names of those hung, are John Richmond. James Barnes, and Jack son Turn'M', Those yet at large are Ji hn Nicholas, and one by the name of Billy, who has gone to Texas, and there is one other that Richmond could not name. Their intention wis to have murdered three or four families, had not Mrs. Wright made her es. n -e—but the families are not yet known. Richmond was lung it) a shroud—the Kth.-r two were hung in their common clothes. Mrs Wright and her little soil, the on that had his head so badly cut with the knife witnessed tin* execution. There were from 1,300 to 9,090 persons to witness the scene. The people here suspicion some others, and bwe given some ten days to leave, o hers three or tire mouths to leave tlif country. The two Indian councils are now in ses sion, but they have done no business of any li.iiorc. The new emigrants of the Ross party censured General Arbnckle very much lor Iris course ; they say he should have told them that it was a matter bet ween them selves, and that he would not interfere.— Whether it would have been the lre-t poli ce fur him, is a matter of doubt. A t Brown’s council there are .diont 1.500 people, ;yid about tile same number ol Ross.’ But they can never mm tie it until they all meet freud- Iv.

'l’ll** case of Wood, I lie confectioner, who iminlotetl his dam-liter because she h,nl married against his consent while it excites the most painful emotions ought not to he allowed to pass without drawing from it the important lesson which it affords, it illustrates the force of brutal passion pros trating the judgment anti destroying the fittest affections of the heart. The daugh ter was twenty-two years of age. and ought to have been allowed some 1 ecdom of ac tion on a subject in which she hat! a greater stake than any otic else, but hoi father not only withheld his assent t.i her t nion with l'eake, biit employed her whole time in the drill gory of his estabUslnn-nit, denying her the privilege of exercise and of the public services of religion. .She was of full age, quite able and willing to decide on her lot in life s:r:d legally entitled to the privilege of so doing, but so rudely did her father regard her rights and feelings, that, fns'ead of gratifying the wishes of a dutiful daugh ter who had devoted every hour of her youth to his pecuniary gain, lie guarded her more cautiously than ever, and subjected her to actual imprisonment. As to the character of l’eake, it is stated that he was not a gambler, but w as an iudustii >us work man, possessed of no other capital than a knowledge of his trade and an independent spirit—qualifications that not unfrcquently lead to fortune in the most aristocrat-c governments, as w ell as our own. His eon duet to his daughter thus ini indicates quite as great contempt for law and deco rum as the bloody act with which he con summated his crime. In both cases lie disregarded all other consideration’s than those prompted by an unr dy temper, and if his last act was more violent than any pre vious one, instead of imputing derangement as its motive, it should be regarded as dic tated by the same ungovernable lassion that prompted his past conduct, and increased in enormity ndy because its object would soon be placed cut of the reach ot his au thority. Ills crime is wilful and deliberate murder, prompted by revenge.

So much of the Proceedings of the Ma con Cotton Convention as were received in time, are inserted in today’s paper, the re mainder we have been cummpclled to lay aside uutel next week, having been received too late for this week’s paper. The last Southern Recorder, says : “We understand that orders have been received by the Banks here (Milledgevile,) from the New York creditors of our men of business, that they must only receive specie in pay ment of their notes We guess they can’ 1 draw blood out of a turnip. The Governor has issued his Proclama tion offering a reward of Two Hundred Dol lars for the apprehension and delivery of Dernpsy J Justice, who murdered John Draper, to the Sheriff or Jailer of Sumter county: Cloth Making idthovt Spinning or Weav ing.—When will American ingenuity cease to (ill the world with its wonders? When will it tire in its ruthless flight through the region of undiscovered things, and pause iu its unrivalled career of corruption? New creations burst upon us with the rapidity of lightning, and it requires an effort of mind to keep pace with the improvements con stantly taking place in mech mical or physi cal science. Ever since the discovery of the immortal Fulton, and fora long while be fore, American genius has directed its la" bors principally to the hold of invention, how successfully,let its numerous valuable productions bear testimony. The inven tion of the Cotton Gin has been productive of more extensive benefit perhaps, than al most any other simil »r efl’oit of mind, and has thrown an imperishable fame around the name of its reputed author, Eli Whitney.— It is known, however, to a few old citizens o’ Georgia, tha't Mr. Whitney was not the in ventor of that valuable machine, in its pre sent form. Georgia claims that honor. T ANARUS( is true, that Mr. Whitney did invent a Cot ton Gin, which was a very simple afiair, but was rightfully deemed a wonderful invention by those who had before known no other method of separating the seed of the cotton •rom the staple, than by the laborous work of the fingers. His machine was in general use, until the introduction of the Cotton Gin in its present form, by a citizen of Geor gia when it was and scan’edas entirely useless* and the new one universally adopted in its stead. It is presumed, that uot a single one of the machines invented by Whitney is now in use in the United States. Upon this sub ject, we have hereafter another remark to make; at present, however, we only design ed to notice auother cteation of American inventive genius, which promises a great a b.adgement of labor both manual, and by machinery. It is a machine for making broad or narrow woollen cloths without spin ning or weaving. It lias been patented in England, and the patentees appear to have certain prospects of realising an ample for tune by the sale of the right. The Lced’s Mercury, an English journal, says, “that a company of eleven gentlemen in London have deposited ,I*sooo with the patentees, who have ordered a machine for them; when finished, they tue to try it for one month, and if, at the end of that time, they think it will succeed, they arc to pay twenty thousand pounds for the patent right in the kingdom of Belgium, where it will be work ed. it is calculated that one set of machine ry, not costing more than six hundred pounds will he capable of producing six hundred yards of woollen cloth, thirty-six inches in width, per day of twelve hours.” This is an immense saving of labor, which, ofcour-e is sufficient to recommend its immediate adoption. The na me of the inventor, who is an American, was not given. " We take occasion to call the attention of our readers to a otter in to-day’s paper, taken from the Georgia Journal, giving an account of the frauds and corruptions at tempted to oe practised upon the people of Sumter County, at the late election, by certain members of the self styled Union party. We particularly invite the atten tion of the honest portion of the people of Georgia ofboth parties, to the outrages up on their rights and liberties as detailed in that letter ; and we ask them, sincerely to reflect upon the consequences that must inevitably ensue to the country, while in the power of a party, whose acts evince so much recklessness, corruption, and disre, gard of all moral or legal restraint. If for the purpose of gaining an ascendency in the state, they would thus stifle their con sciences, aud resort to such ba-e and fraud ulent contrivance*, what would th-y nat do, wheD in possession of the entire power of the country ? The question is oue of import and deserves tire careful considera tion ol all who desire to perpetrate the blessings of liberty to our posterity. The wretch who is lost to eveiy compunction of conscience, as to disregard a solemn oath in the presence o*’ his Maker, vio late the laws of God and man, and trample upon the rights jpid liberties of his fellow citizens, iu order to lilt himself into politi cal power, would not hesitate wheu the summit of his ambition has been attained to blot our the constitution of his country establish a despotism, where hbeity once flourished, bind t'>e galling yoke of tyran ny upon the necks of a suffering people, and convert the very institutions which freedom has reared, into engines of op pression. What may be said of au indi vidual under such circumstances, may be applied with equal force to a political par ty, with this difference only, that a many headed tyranny is infinitely the most to be dreaded. In view, therefore, of the con sequences with which we are threatened as a nation, while such practices are carried on at our popular electioi s, we are assured ,hat no honest man, whatever his political sentiments may be, will blame us for speak ing of them in the most unmeasured terras of reprobation. It remains to be seen, whether the Van Bnren men of Georgians a party, will lend their sanc'ion to such outreges, by permiting them to pass un punished and unoticed. Let every good man then come forward and assist in fer reting out the perpetrators of such frauds as are alluded to in this letter. The puri ty of our elections must be preserved, or one general ruin awaits the republic. The writer expresses a belief that these frauds have been practised throughout the State, being the result of a plan concocted anJ devised before hand by Hie leading and subtle characters of the partv. This is a grave charge, but upou a review of the facts that have come within our knowledge, we are almost ready to subscribe to the opinion. Indeed we do not hesitate to de clare our belief, that our late defeat is solely attributable to lies, tricks, and strategein, and the loud huzzas rung in our ears from every Vau Bureu throat, would seem to indicate that “the party’’ is prepared to eudorse the means which led to the result. Let them re joice, however, for it is a triumph of cun ning and knavery over highmindedness and patriotism. Themselves must acknowledge that such auother victory, achieved by like means would dishouor the annals of the State. From the Georgia Journal. VILLAINOUS CON DUCT. The facts detailed in the following letter can be relied upon, as tire author is known to us to be a gentleman of high standing in Sumter. It shows a degree of corruption that we are sorry to learn has been practised in Georgia, and we hope the authors w ill be brought to justice. The Vau Buren party owe h to themselves, to aid in ferrettingout this matter, and we hope they will not be backward in doing so; for to sustain or at tempt to screen such conduct, will not only injure them as a party, but will, also, de tract from them as honorable men. Americus, Oct. 11,1838. Dear Sir—l have to inform you that in all of this section of Georgia, the basest frauds have been practised by the Van Buren men to carry the elections. In this county they were detected through the vigilance of our friends, and defeated in their object. On the morning of the election the polls were opened at Pond Town, (an election pre cinct,) before it was light « uough for the clerks to see how to keep a list of the voters’ names, and candles were actualiy required for that purpose. Our friends, being very active, were there before many votes bad been taken. But they were not permitted to look into the ha.lot box, it being clused and the lid nailed down. It is supposed that fifty or sixty tickets were nailed up in tile box before tlie polls were opened. This was no. suspected at the time, until the sub sequent conduct of the superintendents ex cited suspicion. But we weie determined to watch their proceedings, and detect their rascality, if we could. Their clan was. to slip or destroy as many State Bights votes, as they hid put in Van Buren votes before the polls were opened, during the day, and thus make the number of votes polled cor respond with the number of voters' Haines recorded upon ihs list. This they could very easily have done if not vigilantly waicli ed ; but, about seven o’clock, they found this plan could net succeed inconsequence of our vigilance, and it became necessary to adopt new arrangements. At this time 64 voteswere taken and numbered as is usual. The managers of the election and the clerks all being Union Van Bnrenites, (and one of the clerks had served a tour in the Peniten tiary for stealing,) then adjourned, to con sult upon some other mode, lor if they did not do something, detection was certain, as the number of votes would not correspond with the lists. They therefore adjourned as 1 have stated, for the purpose of consult ing and concocting anew modus ooerundi. — While they w ere adjourned, the Clerks were permitted to keep, and they did carry about in their hands, wherever they went, the list of voters names which had been previously kept by them. In the space of an hour ami a half, they met again proceeded to continue the election. About this time our suspicions became highly excited, from the fact that the clerks refused to number tiie voters’ names upon the list as they were written; nor could all of our remonstrances prevail upon the managers to have it done at all du ring the balance of the day ; anil it is doubt ed whether it has been done at all, but if done it has been since they were all counted out. By pursuing this plan they thought that they could forge names upon the list, so as to make the number there correspond with the votes counted out of the box.— They were in hopes, too, no doubt, that a small discrepancy in this matter would pass unuoticed; but we were determined to be on the alert, and active, and they could not ac complish their nefarious purposes during our stay aiiio”g them, so they determined to m’iinidate aud drive-ns from the ground.- To this end they brought a number of double barrelled guns into the room where the elec tion was hold, and also. Some few rifles, and threats and menaces were resorted to, but in this, too, they fbled. They had two more i adjournments daring the day, for the space of an hour or an hour and a half each time, to devise ways and menus to get out ot a dit liculty, in which, by thtir corruption, ttiej had placed themselves. '1 ue remst-il tepea led leqoests made by us to permit some ut our litends to preside with them in the elec tion; and they i-iosedto let us inspect lac list of voters’ names kept by the clems.--- All of these were very suspicious circum stances, but the worst was to come. 1 hey never commenced couutingout the votes till after six o’clock, P. M. Being determined to ferret out the fraud, which, by this lime we were convinced was practised upon us, wc set one or two of our friends to keeping a tal'y of the votes couu ted out —which amounted to two hundr‘o and sixty-two precisely. We also kept watch upon the ballot-box. so that no *ole.- could be slipped. A circumstance which they had not calculated for or thought oi until too late, brought the whole ... alter to light so plain, that they had not the hardi hood to deny the fraud when charged upon them. The hole or aperture, in which the tickets were thrust into tb® box, was a small slit near the middle of the lid, about large enough to admit a silver dollar edgewise, very much resembling the hole or aperture in a miser’s strong box. The printed tick ets to be put through this whole into the box had to be folded small aud squeezed in. Thus all the tickets w hich were put into this box through this hole, would show for them selves. But lo ! and behold!,about fifty or six'ty tickets, when the li.l was ripped off, aud they were counted, came from the box unsoiled and tinrumplcd, as if just from the press. This being noticed, and same re mark made in cousequence of it, caused one of the Union Van Buren!tea to call out to the managers to stir those tickets in the box, and the way those tickets were stirred was curious. This was done to soil and rumple them. The returns of the election from this precinct was rejected by a majority of the managers on Tuesday after the election, when they were met to consolidate, on ac count ol their wanting the necessary oertifi cates and lists of voters’ names, and because these were rejected, those from the 2Cth and 17lh district precincts were withheld by the different managers, and none have been properly and legally consolidated but the Danville and Americus precincts. I have understood, however, that the different man agets of the rejected precincts, deposited their returns with William Minims, I'. M.at this place, (V. IS ) with instructions for him to consolidate them and sign thpir names to the necessary certificates, and forward them to Milledgeville. Whether this be true as to the instructions, or whether lie has per formed tlmm, we cannot learn. But one thing we do know; no list of voters’ names has been deposited with the clerk of the In ferior Court, as by law is required to be done, r.s yet. Our friends here firmly believe tljat these frauds have been very generally prac tised throughout the State. We are assur ed that tlie plot was coolly and d< Üboratelv planned and executed Sy them in this coun ty. One of their leaders, more honest than the rest, has acknowledged tli.it he had heard that it would be attempted somejweek or ten days before the election, but did not let it be know’ll, as he did not think they would be base, enough to attempt to carry it into effect. For my own part, lam convinc ed that if is the result of a scheme concocted by the leaders, and that it has been exten sively executed. Weare determined to find out and prosecute these vile offenders Col. Dempsey J. Justice, who was the Van Buren candidate for Senator, murdered a man by the name of Draper, on Tuesday after the election, and absconds J forthwith. Well Drilled. —The Whigs have often charged those who seek elevation to office on the strength of the popularity ofthe ad ministration, with being drilled, and having their opinions framed so as to exactly suit the President. Van Buren candidates lor Congress have been repeatedly charge with being subservient, obeying the will of the President only, in all their official actions This position is believed,from the fact, that every day something transpires to convince us of its correctness. It is true in some instance sthere are men of principle,but such have always to come under the ban of proscription, as in the case of White, Bell and Rives, and others. The many politi cal changes of the present and late adminis trations, exhibit in those who have adhered to them “through thick and thin,” sotortu ous, ami inconsistent a course, as to leave it undoubted that the will of the President alone, governs their actions. But of all this class of well drilled politi cians there are only two, who have as yet had the hold effrontery to acknowledge their position. One of these. Boon of Indiana, sometime since acknowledged on the floor of Congress that die was proud lo wear i::t collar of Gen. Jackson," and another, Gen. A. G. Brown, a candidate f»r Congress in Mississippi, said lately in a stump speech “in the company in which 1 muster, t 1 e Dem ocratic company, when the Captain orders halt, we all stop, and if Mr. Fan Buren were to-morrow to say that he would no longer advise and support the Sub Treasury scheme, 1 WOULD AT ONCE DKOP IT ASP SAY NO mohe about it.” A declaration of slavish - ness too degraded to be even permitted in a free Republic. Vet so it is. and so it will ever be. until the real people take up all those professedly consistent politicians, who stick to the administration, and give them n thorough and scrutinizing examin ation. If such things are permitted, soon the will ofthe President will he the law of the land, and it will soon become the boast of all who solicit public confidence, that the President directs their actions. For our country’s sake let such tlunes he killed in the bud, and let Mississippi, now that she has the power, set the example.— Ten. Tel. prom the Georgia Constitutionalist. HEALTH OF AUGUSTA, Ac.

And faith, that a thousand ills can brave; Speaks iu thy blue leaves ’Forget me-not.’ Perceval. Mills, in his work on chivalry, mentions that the beautiful little flower called “For •et-Me-Not,” was known in Knglaud as ear ly as the nine of Edward Fourth; and in a note, he gives the following pretty incident in explanation of its name. “Two lovers were loitering on the margin <>f a lake on a fine summer pvening, when the maiden discoveied some flowers of the . lyosotis. growing on the water close to (he hank of an isiaud, at seme distance from the shore. She expressed a desire to possess them, when her knight, in the true spi rit of chivalry, plunged into the water, and swimming to the spot, cropped the wished for plant,—but his strength was unable to fulfil the object of his achievement; and. feeling that he could not regain the shore, although very near it, ha threw the flowers upon the bank, and casting an affectionate look upon his lady love, he said “Forget Me Not," and was buried iu the water.’’ The following is more beautiful still. 1 hive forgotten where I culled it: “When the heavens and the earth had been summoned into being, and man had bee” called to taste the joys and glories ot the celestial Eden, every little thing was brought unto Adam, that it might inherit from him its befitting name. And flowers of every varied hue, were among the lovely oh j.’cts that his eye did rest unon; anil as he Allied each of them, according to its own pecu.iar form, or fragrancy or color, he ad ded, ‘Be ye mindful of the name bv w lire * i the irnnee of your maker hath called you." And it was jet but a short time afterwards that a floweret, arravt and iu the meek azure of the firmament, spake ento Adam, saying, “Lonl, by what name didst thou call me; of a truth itshameth me, that 1 did not heed it.” And the first man answered, saying. “Forget Me Not !" Then the flower droop ed its head, and went and hid itself, in the lonely shade, beneath the bough that vnv ethover the murmuring brook; and there it bidetli mourning. Aud when the gentle hand of friendship, or the eager finger of love, stoopeth to pick it in its lowliness, it still doth whisper softly, “ Knrget-me-Not!" The modest little iluwer hath found an admirer in one of America’s sweetest bards, and beautifully hath he sung of it. Listen to the music of HallecVs lyre. Where flows the fountain silently, li blooms a lovely flower, Blue as the beauty of the. sky; Jl speaks like kind fidelity, Through fortune's sun and shover, . ’Forget-me-not.’ 'Tiv like thy starry eyes, more bright Than evening’s pioudest star; Like purity's own halo light Jt seems to smile upon thy sight. And says to thee from afar, ‘Forget me-not.’ Each dew drop on its morning leaves Is eloquent as tears, That whisptr, wh-n young passion grieves For one beloved afar, and weaves His drcain of hopes and fears— ‘Forget me-not.’ A thousand harps have been strung in its praise, but none have discoursed more sweet ly, than the builder and architect of Alnwick Castle. In the langu geof flowers, it is the emblem of ‘true love, ’ its very name being always last upon the lips of patting lovers. But not alone, to friends and lovers, does its sighing voice teach the language of benevo lence ami faith; to the moralist, and he who delights to linger in the midst of nature’s scenery it breathes a Aelody, soft as the murmuring of the silver brook, yet swelling upon the gale, w'.icli wafts it op to the | or tals ol heaven. It 6peak6 the language of universal love. ‘Forget-me-not’! what magic sounds! Nature, throughout her mighty bounds, Disowns thee not. Each voe.il tenant of the grove, Seems warbling to a god of lovs, ‘Forget-me-not’! The flowery gems that deck the plain, Or harvest yield of golden grain. In some lone spot, With piety secin bending there Aud fancy well might deem the pr ly’r Os each, ‘Forget-me-not’! When tempests roar midst winter's cold, Each trembling tenant of the Ibid, By man forgot, Crouches and bleats in bitter tone, Aud seetns to sny in every inoan, ‘Forget-me-not.’ And stall not man, in whom we find God’s image is the Godlike mind. In court or cot, Join nature in her general cry. And let oocchorus fill (liesky.
