Disappointments in receiving mail commu nications occur from various causes: some times from high waters, sometimes trom hurri canes, sometimes from sickness, robberies, Ate. —and we are informed that there was no mail communicationlVointhis place, to Milledgeville on the 7th inst. in consequence of drunkenness! It appears that Mr. Lysauder Burdick, the dri ver, was a dram ahead that morning, and threw file mail down not far from the Post Office door, where it lay about five minutes without being taken up by the Post Master, who was not quite ready to receive it. Mr. Burdick then put it into the stage and drove off. regard less of the repeated calls of the Post Master. We regret that our attention has been again called to this subject ; but we feel it both our duty and our interest to expose the misconduct of Post Masters and mail carriers when it comes to our knowledge. Anson Kimberly, Ksq. has been appointed by the Governor, Commissioner of the River Altamaln.anil commissioner of Pilotage for the Fort of Darien, in the place of Scott Cray, esq. resigned. James Morrison, Fsq. was una lirnously re-elected Mayor of the city ol Savannah, on the 4-th inst. A writer in the IV. C. Star, who supports Na thaniel Macon as President, has the following sentence, which we w ill give, merely to show fcis zeal, although he Hli'ects great moderation. “ Will we choose either Crawford, Calhoun, Jackson, Adams, or Clay, f4tore this man, who has spent his life in the service of his country ? Would not this be ingratitude ‘ ac cursed by heaven ?’ ” / ice President. —Col. Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky, has been na nu cl in a Kentucky paper, as a suit able candidate for Vice President the U. States at the ensuing elec tion. The Indian Springs. —A gentleman novv at the Indian Springs, in this tdate, writes to his friend in this city : “ 1 he country about this place is ve *y ‘"".Vi cocky, romantically wild, and ln, "y inhabited. The unusual sick ness o( the surrounding country, has tendered the Spring a resort for numbers, that the accomodations are by no means equal to the influx; “n” I am now writing in a little log mul, with fifty avenues which ad tmt indiscriminately, hornets, flies, showers, wind and sunshine. Ihe Mineral Spring is situated t> tout a quarter of a mile from the ents as they are termed. In going 0 ,f V"u descend a small hill, cross a ‘ustic bridge which is thrown over a JMiertall, running between banks ol ‘oken rock, then a winding path con found another lull down to lie ®|uing. The water issues from b, nah Ssjurc or crevice, about live inch s wide, at the base of 4 mass of ro k. It is impregnated, but not powerfully,with sulphur and magnesia and produces in five minutes after being drank, a gentle perspiration, operating moderately as a cathartic, lfs effects have been beneficially felt in cases of chronic rheumatism, hut it is principally effective in cutaneous ca ses. It is perfectly pure and transpa rent, the smell rather unpleasant, the taste not disagreeable. There ap pears to be no specific quantity rec ommended to be taken, nor any par ticular time of taking it ; but I have found two tumblers full before every meal sufficient to preserve regularity in the system and promote health. There, are very few invalids here, considering that here Uygta has es tablished her head quarters. “ About nine miles west, are the Falls ol Towcalleggee. They are very grand and picturesque. The rapid waters roll over beds of shelv ing rock fin about fifty feet from the eddy above, and then rush over about seventy feet of solid smooth rock, describing nearly half a circle. From a sea of foam they again descend a more gradual and broken bed of stone, and finally tumble in a hundred falls over fragments of rock, through the prostrated limbs of torn up trees, un til they float in peace and placidity. In the lower level of the rivers there is another fall, but an infant imitation of the upper one.” Georgian. The New York, papers notice the approach of a Raft, in the North River, which measured BPS feet in length, and 121 in width, contain ing about 130,000 feet of square timber,besides a quantity of boards, estimated to be worth from 25, to 30,000 dollars. I'he timber is said to have been cut to the east of On ion River in Vermont, floated down the Champlain Canal,and embodied at Fort Edward. The raft was na vigated by ten men ; and had on board a house well furnished for their comfort, ivith a cow, a horse, and a carriage. The master of a vessel from Bel fast, Maine, has been prosecuted by the Marshal of the city of Bos ton, for secretly landing certain em - igrant passengers, contrary to law. The penalty for each passenger in such cases, is two huudred dol lars. A New-York paper remarks that in reviewing the administration of criminal justice in that city, it is gratifying to observe that since the introduction of the tread-mill , the number and atrocity of offenceshave visibly diminished. The Old State Bank of Tennes see places its late Dividend upon a nv*w footing. Such Stockholders as do not owe the bank are to re ceive their 3 per cent in current notes: but those who have an ac commodation, are to have their di vidend applied to the reduction ot their notes. It is not stated, whe ther this is done by previous con tract, or by exercising anew au thority on the part ol the Bank. Governor Cass, who was appointed by the President, under an act passed at the last session of congress, to ne gotiate with the Moravian Society and Indians for the re-cession to the United States of their land lying in Tuscraws county, (Missouri) has suc ceeded in making a purchase upon favorable terms. It is probable, there fore, that this valuable land will be fore long be brought into market. The law of South Carolina, sub jecting all free coloured persons arriving in anv vessel at any port of that state, to be seized and im prisoned, and so kept imprisoned until the vessel bringing them should depart,&tc. which has given considerable inconvenience to ves sels trading there, has been pro nounced by Judge Johnson, of the Supreme Court of the U. States, “ to be unconstitutional and void, and every arrest made under it, subjecting the persons making it to an action of trespass.” N. T.paper. The brig Perl, Capt. Chandler, has arrived at Boston lrom the Sandwich and Society Islands . sne was bound on a trading voyage to the N. W. coast of America, but meeting with a Russian frigate, had her papers endorsed and or dered off, by which the object ot her voyage was defeated. Melancholy casualty.— On Tues day morning last about 80 clock, during a thunder storm, the house of Dr, S. P. Winslow, near Smith s Mills in Dartmouth, was struck with lightning, which shattered the house very considerably,knock ed down the Doctor, killed his wife and badly wounded his sister. We understand the electric fluid enttr by the chimney, and spread in ev ery j art of the house. Dr. W. was sitting in his chair, in the low er room, attending his sick son, when the shock knocked his chair from under him, and threw him on the floor, where he lay senseless for nearly a minute ; on recovering he heard some person cry fire ; when he immediately ascended to th< garret, where he found some combustible articles in a blaze which he immediately threw out of the wnidow and extinguished the fire. On returning to the chamber, he found Mrs. Winslow sensless on the floor. She had been sitting near the fire-place, when she was struck down; the fluid passing to the opposite side of the room, and through the window, which it de molished entirely, not even leaving a vestige of the frame. Another win dow in the lower room was shiv ered in the same manner, and not a window in the house but was more or less broken. It is supposed the injury Miss Winslow received was caused by the fragments of the win dow near which she was sitting.— It is remarkable that a child who was standing between Mrs. and Miss Winslow, was uninjured.— All attempts to revive Mrs. Wins low proved fruitless. At the same moment of the above disaster,the house of Messrs. Isaac and Otis Little, situated about two miles S. W. of Dr. Winslow’s was also struck, and considerably in- j ured, particularly the roof, and one of the rafters was taken entire ly out and shivered to atoms.— There were ten or twelve persons in the house, all of whom were struck down, excepting a small child but were not materially inju red except Mr. Isaac Little, and he was not dangerously. The furni ture of the house was much broken, and scattered in all directions. On Monday night, the 4th inst. the barn of Mr. Samuel Look, in Tisbury, was struck with lightning, and entirely consumed, together with about 10 tons of hay, 150 bushels of grain, and many of his farming utensils, which it contain ed. New Bedford Mercury. A lamentable occurrence took place in Pennsylvania, on the 9th ult. A man named Elisha Hilliard accidently shot his brother when on a hunting party for deer in a neighboring lick. The deceased had sat down in the bushes conven ient to the lick, and had fallen as leep he awoke, about dusk, and was creeping through the bushes to the lick on the same errand, and hearing the noise in the bushes,and seeing, as he supposed, a deer, Isaac having on a red jacket, fired hi s rifle ; his feelings and aston ishment can be more*easily concei ved than described, to find, shat instead of a deer, he had shot his brother. The bullet passed through his shoulder, and is supposed to have lodged in one of his ribs.— Some hopes are entertained of his recovery* Nat. Intelligencer . Hardfate— John C. Hamilton, a respectable young man, was ex ecuted in Kentuky in 1817, lor the murder of Doctor Sanderson of Natchez, Mississipi. Sanderson had visited Kentucky for the im provement of his health, and spent most of the summer at the house of Hamilton. In October the Doc tor prepared to return home, and Hamilton accompanied him some distance and took a friendly fare well. Ten or twelve days after some hunters discovered the body ol San derson in the woods near where Hamilton acknowledged he took leave of him. His body had been shot and mangled in a shocking manner. Hamilton was advised by his friends to escape ; but he re fused and persisted in his inno cence to the last—and on the scaf fold took a manly leave of the world, asserted his innocence, and regret ted most that his fate should des troy the hopes of a young family whom he loved, and shed an indel ible disgrace on his memory. Ihe only evidence against him was cii cumstantial, viz. that near the body of Sanderson were found a blood v pair of pantaloons and a pistol, both bearing the name of Hamil ton. It now appears that he was innocent. A man has recently been executed at Mobile, who con fessed himself the murderer of Sanderson. An emigrant, w ho had been only twelve days on our shores, was con ducted to the Police Office ou Tuesday, upon a charge of stealing 7s. Gd. from a poor fruit woman.— FJe landed at Perth Amboy, and though unable to speak a word of the English language, had evident ly imbibed very liberal notions of our customs and laws. Accord ingly he took a stroll on Monday down Washington street and com menced operation by thrushing his land, unbidden, into a huckster’s basket of nuts. Finding the tools of a mason lying upon an unfinish ed wall, he next took them very kindly into his keeping, and then entering the fruit woman’s shop, emptied her tin llox of the change, whilst she was in the cellar. On her return he regaled himself with nuts apples, &c. to the amount of 2s. and paid the woman in her own money, having filled his belly, and got ss. 6d. into the bargain. The woman recognised the two shilling piece by a particular mark, and was puzzled to conceive by what sort of necromancy it had found its way to her customer’s pocket. Finding however, that her change box was empty, the riddle was soon ex plained. She remonstrated with him, but he shook his head, and understood niemendall about it, but made off with very suspicious speed. He was soon apprehended, and is now in bridewell. N. T. American. On the 16th of June, Capt. Gar wood of the ship Magnet, of this port, was boarded, and taken pos ession of by a Spanish Privateer, between Cape de Gatt and Cape Pello, near Alicant, run into a Bay, near the land on the coast, and an chored in four fathom water. — Capt. Garwood was prevented from landing or sending a letter to the American Consul, at Alicant, and he, as well a3 his crew, were much abused by the freebooters, while lying at anchor. At one time they presented a loaded mus ket at breast, and at the first and second officer’s, because they could not get as hearty a supper as they wished. About 8 o’clock that night, two privateers, with about fifty men, went longside and ordered the ship to get under way, and stand to sea, as they said for the purpose of proceeding for Carthagena, but Capt. Garwood soon found their intention was to pillage the ship, and refused to get under way. They then proposed, that he should permit them to load their vessels with tobaco and coffee, and they would give him a receipt for them, but when they found they could not prevail on him, they determined to murder him and the mates and load their vessels and then burn the ship with all hands on board. Fortunately the night was very calm, and the ship made but little way from the shore, and, as she lay too close to the harbor, for them to accomplish their in tentions, they robbed her of every thing they could lay their hands on. Next morning, after taking about 20 boxes of segars, and as many bales of Tobacco, with all the spare Canvass, Liquors, &c. &c. they left him in pursuit of an other vessel. Capt. Garwood then got under way and arrived safe at Alicant that night. Philad. Gaz. Joseph Bonaparte, and several other distinguished French gentlemen, were at the City Hotel, New-York, on the 25th ult. waiting the arrival of the son of Lucien Bonaparte with his family, who were hourly expected there from Antwerp. Latest tvom Europe. Paris papers have been received at New-York to the 18th July. Their contents (says the Georgian) as to the army operations in Spain, are meagre. As usual in the French accounts, the prospect is represented as gloomy in deed for the Constitutionalists. But we have had so much experience in these statements, that we are not dis posed to despair were they more gloo my than represented. The defection of Morillo is the principal item in the present list of Spanish otisfoi (unes. Should the treason of Morillo prove as ineffectual on the minds ot the troops as that of the other generals who are on the same black list, the consequences may not be so injurious as might be anticipated. “ilte c:tu-.e will have lost a traitor and gained ad ditional confidence in the renewed proof of the fidelity of the soldiery.— It is said that he carried with him 3000 men to the army of BouVke, but this story is doubtful. It is some consola tion, however, to know that the Patriot Quiroga, who has declared that he will never surrender whilst a foreigner re mains in Spain, has not been corrupt ed by Morillo, Accounts from Greece continue flat tering. The wise measure adopted by their gov’t doubtless will establish their independence on a firm founda tion.—The Turkish fleet had sailed from Constantinople and the Greeks were prepared to receive it. A Bayonne letter says “ much talk lias been had with regard to the sie;re of St. Sebastian and Pampeluna, but we in Bayonne, see nothing of those trains of artillery which were to ope-’ rate in the siege; none have arrived here as yet.” A rumor reached London on the 12th July, that there had been a coun ter-revolution in Portugal, in favor of the Constitutional system. Admiral Sir Isaac Collin, member of the British Parliament, has, from a re gard to his native state, Massachu setts, and with a wish to promote its agriculture, purchased at a great ex pense, a Bull of the first breed in G. Britain, and sent him as a present to the Trustees of the Massachusetts so ciety for promoting agriculture. In Catalonia, the Constitutionalists still shew a disposition to oppose the French inch by inch. By a despatch from Marshal Moncey it appears that in inarching to invest Barcelona on the 9th, the Fourth Corps had a sharp action at Molins del lley and at Mar terel, with the troops of Molins and Lloberes, who were disposed to raise the blockade of Barcelona. The Spaniards took shelter under the walls of Barcelona, which place was to be completely invested on the following day. It is mentioned in an English paper that Sir Wm. A’Court has received in structions from his government to fol low the King to Cadiz, and if he finds actual restraint to be put upon him, to leave the country altogether. London dates are to July 14.—The Irish Instruction act, which is to con tinue in force till Aug. 1823, had re ceived the Roval assent. It appears by letters from Bayonne, of the 10th, that the parleys that had taken place with the garrison of St. Sebastian had been without effect. A letter received in Philadelphia from Gibraltar, dated the 23d July, says—Cadiz slill holds out, and there is little probability of its surrendering. It is reported that a battle has been gained by the constitutionalists over the French in Catalonia. General Lallemand is said to be in the neigh borhood of Valencia with a good force. In this neighborhood, Teriffe, Algesi ras and St. Roque, are in the posses sion of the constitutionalists, so that, the cause of the Spaniards is not des perate. Another letter, of the 24th July, re ceived in Philadelphia, says “Vast supplies of provisions have reached Cadiz, and there is no danger of a sur render for the want of food. Un the 16th of June, the King of Portugal issued a very severe decree against Secret Societies, and particu larly Free Masons, whose meetings are prohibited under the penalty of transportation, for at least five years. All public officers are to present a written promise that they will not be long to any secret society. <e jr <© sr* TIIE subscriber will pay Augusta prices for Cotton, deducting a fair freight.
