Storer may be immediately supplied with such as may be necessary from the Dock Yard.” 7. .1 i This act of courtesy was thus acknowloug cd bv Colonel liaync: “ 1 should do injustice to my own feelings, but still greater injustice to the very frank and prompt conduct exhibited by your Ex cellency on the present occasion, if I did not return you my most unfeigned thanks for ha ving extended relief and protection during thelatc storm, to the United States sloop of war Boston, now riding at anchor in Gibral or. You have saved the ship. The act, itself, but especially the manner in which it was confer red, calls for the expression of my warmest gratitude.” Governor Don replied as follows : “I feel extremely happy to find that the an chors supplied from his Majesty’s Dock Yard to the United States sloop of War Boston, have been the means of placing that vessel in safety.” A MERICA N GOVERNMENT. The Ed inburg Scotsman thus compliments our Government: “It is a beautiful trait fin the history of the American Government, that it has never shed a drop of human blood, nor banished a single individual for State crimes ! No renegade minister grows immortal there by “saving the Constitution” and crushing the “hydra of jacobinism,” at the expense of human blood and human happiness. lam delighted to find that the more popular a gov ernment grows, the more mild it becomes; and that the glory of dispensing with the ser vices of the hangman in political affairs, was reserved for the first Government erected and conducted by the people—by those whom the planners of our bloody treason and sedi tion laws choose to designate as “a ferocious rabLlc!” NEW PROCESS OF DISTILLATION.— The London Literary Gazette of March, gives a curious discovery made by Mr. Rob but Hicks. It proceeds upon the principle, that all vegetable substances susceptible of the vinous fermentation [substances contain jug saccharine matter ,] give a certain volatile aroma, which contains alcohol in the state of gas. Condense it and the gass becomes spir it. Now, it has been long known that grain (wheat, com, .barley, etc.] when treated in a particular way and tnade to un dergo the vinous fermentation, yields spi rit I upon distillation. And if grain can do it, vhv not this grain reduce to flour and fermen ted? Mr. Hicks’discovery consists in catch ing the vapour of dough, [fermented paste,] when it is baking in the oven, and passing it thro’ the worm [like other stills.] It comes out a clear spirit. Mr. 11. proposes to estab lish a distillery in the bakeries—so that you may be making your spirit and your bread at the same time. Instead of being made of brick work, Ins ovens arc made of iron—on their top, is a cap which catches the vapour lrom the dough, etc. It is said, that the sponge necessary to form the peck loaf is ca- P 'lde of yielding three ounces of proof spirit during the Operations of baking, etc. etc. —d® .

AND mercantile intelligencer. _BgjLjß<asy a Tuesday, May 17, 1 | *|. GOVERNOR GILMER. It is cur purpose to render the Advertiser a communicative medium of intelligence, rather thaii a bickering, turbulent, and political sheet. ‘We came to this determination before our late renewal of editorial labors, and the warm manifes tations of friendship, and evidences of patronage which immediately succeeded our “new-born effort,” greatly conspired to mature and rivet, what wc had but designed to do. And yet,k can not be supposed, that we have so far forgotten* a duty to the public, at large,and a proper estimate of personal independence, to have denied ourself the privilege ol preserving a sensitive regard for our own views of men and measures, and a para mount obligation to prdtect them whenever impro perly assailed. To this end, we are brought to i onsider an editorial stricture which appeared last week in our neighboring print, the Macon Tele graph. 11 is as follows : “His excellency Governor Gilmer has, by proclamation, offered two hundred dollars to any person or persons who shall apprehend, identify and deliver to the authorities ofM’ln tosh county, tho persons guilty of breaking open the jail of Darien on the night of the 6th and Ttn aft. and liberating therefrom Jo seph Bell of Montgomery charged with the murder of Mathew Sapp. He unquestiona bly believes the offenders to be poor, obscure, an<l uninfluential; for were he of opinion that they have the means, by connexions and property, to effect his re-election, they might reside in the neighborhood of Darien 'settiim the civil authority at defiance until doomsdav, without his daring to allude to their offence in a newspaper or to offer one cent for their capture, though a true bill had by a grand ju ry been found against them, and their names together with the circumstances of their case were known throughout the State. It is a gainsf only those whom he deems poor and uninfluential that he dare enforce the law As often as the word Darien meets his eye or ear, his conscience, we should suppose, tells him, that he has neither the impartiality nor firmness requisite to a faithful discharge of executive duty. A pretty “governor of the people .” We do not presume that a sympathy for Mr. Bell, or that a desire to screen him from a judicial investigation, influenced the editor of the Tele graph in penning the paragraph we have above quoted. W hat then could have been the actuat ing motive? It is evident that to make his re niarKS bear upon Gov. Gilmer, the editor intend ed to say, that he, the Governor, had purposely omitted to take official cognizance of some case or other, similar to that of Bell’s, which had come within the Executive purview. If we are right in this inference, we are sorry that the Telegraph did not make out its charges and specifications, clearly and distinctly, for then it would have gi ven U3 an opportunity to have rebutted them, end to have convinced him, which we feel confident we ean do,) of the errur into w hich he has fallen. Wc hope he w ill present us with this opportunity in his next. Before we leave the sut jeet, for the present, we cannot refrain from expressing our surprise, at the bitter remarks of the Telegraph; because of the cordial advocacy which it had given Mr. Gil mer in the last gubernatorial contest, in which he was zealously supported, for all those com i. .and qualifications which pictured him as the “ .test and best” to guide the helm of state. A uniform approbation of the Governor’s admir.;:ion has also been echoed thro’ the Telegraph, until lately, when the necessary preparation for another but tle to be fought and wen,” has caused a change of opinion, and a settled opposition, w hich has been thus early manifested on a very improper subject— a subject altogether uncalled for, and w hich st ems to be dragged in by a tortured invention, which has strove in vain to find cause for legitimate op position. W e fear it is a forerunner of that dead ly inveteracy of feeling, and of that untiring hos tility of sentiment, with which the warfare is to be conducted—and that it is a certain revival ol' that party spirit which espouses men in preference to principles—a spirit which has always been hostile to the peace, and obnoxious to the virtues of society. We did not expect, and had not prepared oor shlf forso early an occasion to break a lance with the Telegraph, or any other of the fraternal corps: and the less were we disposed to do so just now, from the kind and cordial manifestations of welcome which brother Bartlett had shown us; as also, from a sincere desire to delay any attack until the champions should have entered the arena, and the trumpet sounded to battle. Then, and not till then was it our wish to run a tilt in the ani mated tourney. MB. IXMrKIS. The delicate and dangerous predicament in which this gentleman has been placed, cither by himself, or the misjudging partialities of his friends, is noticed in a proper manner by the edi tor of the Columbus Democrat. lie correctly views the attitude which Mr. Lumpkin lias as sumed, and like a high-minded partizan, refuses to give credence to statements which go to impugn his previous declarations. Wc like to sre such exhibitions of political independence. The De mocrat says: “Some of our papers still insist that Mr. Lumpkin is a candidate for Governor. Now if a man’s own word cannot be taken in mat ters of this kind, we know not whose can. — Besides, running him as a candidate at this time would prevent “the people of Georgia from being united [in Mr. Gilmer wc sup pose-,] which it is Mr. Lumpkin’s anxious de sire to see,” and it would moreover “tend to embitter party animosities, and engender new strifes and above all that Mr. Lumpkin considers his services much more important in Congress than elsewhere; and it would in his view be a derelection of duty to desert his post. Wc shall not believe that be is a candi date until we see it announced under his own hand. Ilia letter to tho Editor of the Chroni cle is the best evidence w e have seen on the subject,and must be conclusive till rebutted by higher. OUK DOMESTICS. The following remark is in a communication which appeared in the last Macon Telegraph, on the subject of 44 Reduction: n * Fhc calculation of representative inhabi tants, allowing five blacks to he equal to throe whites, seems another departure from strict justice, as it gives an undue influence to a vo ter living in a county with a large slave-pop ulation. It cannot be successfully defended, by assuming that the tax paid for the slave iirinshes the right; for, if admitted as legitim- J 1 ‘ io * ax P ;l on stallions would •entitle Horses to be likewise represented.” 'I he article, in the main, is a sensible and well w iit.cn < no. But the comparison which it draws between our ’domestic population and the brute creation, is a stale joke, which has been repeated by more wise and wicked heads than the one which the communicant of the Telegraph wears upon Ins shoulders. It is a’strange anomaly which the ultra philanthropists present, when thr j contend for the cquul.ly of the slave, and at the same time endcavoi to degrade him to the lc vcl ol the brute. Like the whites, they have their \ irtues as well as their vices : and numerous are the instances in which they have devoted them selves to the public good, in the defence of pro perty, in the protection of their masters, and even in tlie exercise of private benefactions. A good black man is better than a bad white man—und there is a moral, if there were no other cousidcra tion existing, which entitles him to a portion of representation. IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT. The following Circular has been addressed by Governor Gihncrto the different Sheriffs through out the State: Lxecttivj: Department, i MiUcdgetille, 30 th April, 1831. \ “Sill—You are requested to inform me, at as early a time as may be convenient, what number of persons were confined for debt by Ca. Sa. in the county for which you are Shcr itl, during the year 1830, the amount of debt, and length ot time for which each person was imprisoned, and the manner in which each debtor was discharged, whether by paying the debt, by his creditors, by complying with the insolvent law, or otherwise.” This Circular is issued no doubt, with tlie view of collecting such data as will enable the Cover, nor to form a definite opinion upon the subject of imprisonment for debt; & at the same time to pre sent such facts for tlie consideration of the next le gislature as will induce that body so to reform tho system, that the honest debtor may be shielded from many of the persecutions to which he is now too much exposed. This subject has, of late years, attra eted a more than usual degree of inter est, not only in Congress, but in almost every state ol the Union; in many of which salutary modifications have taken place. Such is the spi rit of the times, that wc should not be surprised ; f the state were to tear this “ relic of Gothic barba rism” from the statute books of tlie country, be fore the Congress cf the United States ceases to make it a dgbtrteable subject. TIJK PEN ITL'VTiARY. All the newspapers in tlie state have announced the destruction of this institution; and they have all, we believe, withheld any remark of commit tal Not one cf them has suggested its opinion in regard to tho continuance of the system, or the entire abandonment of it:—all have shrunk from it with a temerity', which seems to us, to be gra dually making an earnest inroad on the candor and lrcedom ot the Press—an awful unwilling ness to meet an unexpressed public opinion: this is not as it should be—\Y hy T halt w T e from a free, frank, and bold expression of our sentiments?— Newspapers and editors are expected to do their duty. They should, at least, endeavor to inform, communicate and enlighten the community; anj whilst wc are supine and inert on a subject which comes so directly- home to us, we can only be con sidered as common purveyors of public casualities —or, as mere negations in political society. Wc therefore ask the co-operation of the Typographi cal and Editorial Corps, throughout the state, to be up and a-doing—\Y e have slumbered long and carelessly, and it behooves us as men, as editors, to perform a duty which we all owe to the public- It matters not with us, that there arc dif ferences of opinion on this subject—indeed, it is so much the better—boaause we shall thereby' be enabled to canvass the merits and demerits of a system to which the best philanthropists—the wi sest sages—and the ablest legislators, have devot ed all the talent and influence they could putin re quisition. The question will now likely arise—“ Penite ntiary, or, No Penitentiary?” Its solution is soon to be made. It will devolve on the next Legisla ture to determine, whether it will be re-built, and the system continued, or, whether it shall be a bolished. Which ought to be done, belpngs to a higher tribunal than our humble self to decidCk But, an expression of opinion may lead to investi gation—that to truth, and thereby the great desi deratum may be accomplished. There are in the United States, about seven or eight Penitentiaries—Not one of these institutions afford an available revenue of any impor tance. Their receipts, in many instances, are in sufficient to meet their disbursements, (as has been, wc believe, fully realized in Georgia) and, where this is not the case, the balance on hand is not much more than w ould be necessary to furnish the convicts with a fourth of July din ner. But even admitting that a Penitentiary con taining 100 convicts, should by their manual la bor, after defraying the multifarious expenses cf the institution, throw annually into tho Treasury of tlie state, $50,000, we contend, that this, instead of enriching, the state, or benefiting the people, which wc consider to be one and the same thing, '• w ould have a tendency diametrically opposite.— | This assertion will appear paradoxical to those, who have not viewed the subject closely and prac tically. To prove it, however, we need only say, that the work which is executed in a Penitentia ry, may be generally rated at about twenty-five j 1 1 r OWlt. lowi r than the same work can be 'don; 1 by honest and industrious mechanics andartifi-l curs: and Hits, the institution is enabled todo,by ! the labciicui? taslre which are imposed upon the ■ operatives, and the comparative insignificant ex penses which are incurred in their cheap clothing and coarse diet. Owing to these advantages, en terprising tradeHtien and laborers, equalling the convicts in number, are driven to seek subsistence and employment in some other place, whc're they can ply their skill and industry without fearing the shackles of a Penitentiary Monopoly, and where their lumestcxniions will not be paralized by the legalised opposition of public malefactors. The - wealth the improvement—and the embellishments which one hundred moral, hard-working, and ingenious mechanics, can bring into a state, adds more to its resources, mo rals, and character, than could the productive la bor of on% —aye, of ten thousand culprits. In a civil point of view, it is in this light, we look up on the Penitentiary as a nuisance, and as a real drawback upon tlie resources of the state. To us, its moral features are equally revolting. The mc3t favorable estimate would say, that there is barely ono in fifty, who undergo the pun ishment of the Penitentiary, that come out of it re- formed. And even that one, from a sense of-the situation to which he has been degraded, must possess a greater share of moral courage than ge nerally falls to the lot of poor humanity, if he can be aroused to any thing like honorable and use ful action. W hen he comes back into the world, il lie does not meet the sneers and taunts of the unfeeling, there is a silent monitor within, which tells him, that the eye of public observation is fix ed upon him, and seems to say, “ There goes a Penitentiary convict!” If such is the effects pro duced upon minds disposed to reformation, what must it be upon these of a more depraved and in corrigible nature. The deleterious influence of the Penitentiary upon the morals of society, is also illustrated in the fact, that it has increased, and continues to increase the quantity of crime. We believe there is not a judicial Circuit in the state, if its dock ets be consulted, but what will bear us out in the assertion, that cases of petty larceny have, at east been doubled, since the establishment of the Penitentiary system—and that, on the other hand, capital offences have not diminished, but are as frequent, if not more frequent than formerly The causes which lead to the former, are found in the certain support and comparative comfort Which the Penitentiary furnishes to tlie idle and vicious, and which they could not find within the four walls of a jail, nor in the contingent and er ratic courses of a vagabond life. In the latter, capital offences, which deserve to be punished as such, sometimes Ipse their character in the esti mation of Jurors, in consequence of what they conceive mitigating circumstances; but which in reality; cannot be either legally or equitably re cognised in that light. This changes the feature of the crime; and tlie jurors, by an not of mental reservation, inducts the offender iuto a costly edi fice, instead of exalting him to the gallows. For i ourself, we would rather see a Botany Bay estab lishment, than a continuance of tho Penitentiary System. The one keeps crime in the country— the other drives it out. In tiie event oi the abolition of the Penitentiary tfie greater difficulty weald he a proper riddance of the convicts. For the present, we will,only allude to it: but, instead of a wholesale delivery, a suggestion of the continuance of the present representative of a Penitentiary, until the convicts’ sentence expires, would seem appropri ate. Anon. SERENADES. “Music has charms, to soothe tho savage car, To soften rocks and bend the gnarled oak.” Why do not our amateurs indulge more fre quently in this “ food of love?” YY'u heard a lit tle of it last night. There are many among us, with whom the “ ventiges” of the Italian flute is not unfamiliar—Many who can touch the Cremo na strings with scientific hands—many who can control the “stops” of the life-inspiring Cla rionet, and make the Kent Bugle speak in all the melody of undulating sounds—and why then, we repeat do they not “ discourse to us their sweet sounds?” Our soft and balmy atmosphere—our “ span gled skies”—as beautiful as those of boasted Italia—spread out their charms, and invite us to their celebration. But away with Romance—and yet this is not romance. For who, after the fa tiguing labors of the day, and the sultry heat of our opening summer, is not prepared to inhale the cool and fragrant breezes of our balmy and brilli ant evenings, and listen with pleasure, even rap ture, to the pensive or exhilerating sounds of mu sic. It is an innocent and delightful amusement, which is well calculated to preserve anequinimi ty of mind, encourage the good affections, and im prove, by its salubrious influence, the health of the body. THE MARCH OF PRINCIPLE. The glow of satisfaction which we felt in notic ing the conversion of our brother cf the Georgia Courier, had scarcely subsided, when another penitent presented himself at the Confessional of the People, and gave an accumulated impulse to the delightful sensation which was still lingering at our fingsrs end. On opening the last Lynch burg Y’irginian, the following manly and magnani mous recantation saluted us. It is another evi dence, if evidence were wanting, that “ truth is mighty nnd willprevail." From the Lynchburg Virginian, of May 9. . TIIE OOBHESPONDENCE. “As an act of justice to William 11. Craw ford, and incompliance with the wish of some ol his friends, ive commence in this morning’s paper, and shall conclude in our next, the publication of a “Review of the Correspond ence” between the President and Vice Presi dent, w hich we find in a late No. of the Geor gia Journal. The most prejudiced partisan of Mr. Calhoun will find it difficult to rise from its perusal, without confessing that he lms new views on tho subject of that corres pondence. In our opinion, William H. Crawford is acquitted, by a powerful nnd in genious array of facts, of the falsehood, which has been heretofore, almost by common con sent, imputed to him, either as growing out of a malicious desire to injure Mr. Calhoun, or ■w tho effect of a decayed and lapsed memory. This opinion, we are aware, may expose us to the charge of inconsistency. If it docs, we cannot help it. In confessing an error, it is only saying that we are wiser to-day than we were yesterday. We have materially changed our opinion, and this change has been in a great measure, wrought by the “Review,” which wc this day publish.—When wc first read the Correspondence', and the va rious publications which grow out of it, it was necessarily done in a confused and hasty man ner ; and tho opinion then expressed was the result of not very deliberate investigation and reflection. Indeed, in such a voluminous correspondence, it is almost impossible, with out a careful comparison of dates, and a crit ical analysis of the conflicting statements of parties, tocometoanv correct conclusion.— I lint comparison and analysis we did not make; for, in truth, wc did not then seethe necessity of it. And besides, our feelings were enlisted in Mr. Calhoun’s favor. We fancied \vc saw in him, what lie and his friend Duff Green, so artfully endeavored to represent him, a hunted deer, stricken by the archer, and pursued by tho whole hack of blood hounds, who, living on government patronage hold themselves at at all times in readiness to do tlie bidding of their paymasters. We fan cied we saw in him tho victim of a deep-laid plot, of which Martin Van Huron was the pro jector and the intended beneficiary, and Gen. Jackson the instrument. And so believing, ue run ofl, with many others, on a false scent, and gave a decided expression of opinion in favorofMr. Calhoun. Since that time, we have not recurred to tlie Correspondence, and have rested content with our opinions, as form ed from the first perusal. Tlie “Review” has opened our eves—and wc confess that wc now look on the subject in a very different point of view.” GOVERNOR BRANCH. W e regret that it becomes our duty to publish the letter ot this gentleman. He seems to display not only too much solicitude for himself, but even to shut his eyes upon the patriotic motives which actuated the President in the re-organization of bis Cabinet. President Jackson has not charged Mr. Branch with any attempt to promote discord in his late (_ abinet—neither has lie accused him ol any derilection of duty—or, of a want, of capa-- city in the discharge of the functions which be longed to his Department. On the contrary in his correspondence with him, the President makes “honorable mention” of his able and faithful dis charge of all official duties. Mr. Van Buren’s letter, and the President’s re ply to it, should, we think, have convinced Mr. Branch, that the policy of anew Cabinet was forced upon the President by a sense of duly which he owed his country, and that he could not possibly have pursued any other course, that would' have enabled him to defeat, as suc cessfully as he has already defeated, the disgrace ful and treacherous machinations of the Vice President of the UNITED STATUS, M*ort ofMlac’oti. arrived, " Boat No. 1, from Darien, M‘Call & Patton, owners, full cargo.

M. J. T. LAMAR, J. T. ROWLAND, CCom’rs. J. S. CHILDERS,S Macon, May 13, 1831. 8-tM To the Public. MR. BARTLETT, in his last Telegraph has thought proper to advertise me as a ran* way apprentice. To satisfy the public that this is a libellous publication, (of which I may proba bly hereafter convince Mr. B) l will give their a plain statement of the case as it actually stands, In tiic first place, I was never indented to Mr, Bartlett, and consequently cannot be viewed ir the character of an apprentice. I entered into hi) service about 11 months since, under verbal con ditions, the spirit of which he has nevc.r ccmpliec with. After I had determined to leave the office I called upon Mr. B. and told him that my situ ation was a disagreeable one—that his treatment of me was in violation of his verbal promises, and| that I was determinad to quit him. I low this opeifl and frank avowal can be tortured into lL runninfM awuy," is more than I can imagine. The trutlß is, Mr. B. has had no just cause of complaint.—l He has, just upon my entrance into active life, infl dulgedin a malignant atte/npt to wound my feel-1 ingsand hurt my character without my ever liavfl ing injured him or given him any, just cause ol complaint. But the blow which ho intended fol me w ill certainly recoil upon his own head. NICHOLAS W. SMITH, fl May 15 • 9- Agciicj in Philadelphia. L. A. GODEY CO.
