Dinner to be served “at the Oglethorpe House at 3 o’clock. .. , RAIL ROAD—GOOD NEWS. * We Have read a letter from Wiiey Wil liams, Esq. one of the Commissioners ap pointed to negotiate a loan on behalf of ‘ the Rail Road and Banking Company. 5 The letter was written at New York, and received here on yesterday. It stated that a loan of $300,Q00 had been obtained at 7 per cent., and the whole amount wanted could have been . had on the same terms, but it was thought advisable on the part of the Com missioners to delay a negotiation for the re mainder until fall, when in all probability the money market will be easier, and the rale ol interest lower. One hundred thousand dollars of the pre sent loan has been procured in gold and sil ver, and will be brought on by Mr. Williams> and placed in the vaults of the bank. This is the way to do things. We wish the enterprising Company great success.— ‘ Internal Improvements’ is our motto. The St. Joseph Times is informed that we will publish the article in reply to Mr. Nurse’s letter in our next, it being unavoidably crowd ed out this week. BATHS. tt is really surprising that in a town like this there should not be a public bathing house. Some four years ago there was one, and well do we remember the luxury which We have-enjoyed in taking a warm bath of a hot summer’s day—how it opened the pores of the skin—cooled and refreshed the system —and prepared it to endure the op pressive heat of this climate. We are told, by medical men, that frequent bathiftgs are strongly conducive to health, and certainly ihe delightful effects produced upon the sys tem are sufficient inducements, and ample compensation, for the trivial expense of the operation. Bathing is an ancient custom. In the palmiest days of Grecian and Roman luxury and greatness, their public leaders sought fame and distinction*by the erection of public baths; in truth, by acts and measures of this sort, Ihe champion on the roll of fame could entwine his brow with a more verdant wreath than he could by military achievements and conquests. Did (he voluptuous princes of oriental times lavish their treasures, and make an ele gant and costly display of taste in the con struction and furniture of their public baths, it was because they duly appreciated the use fulness and luxury of the indulgence. We live in a country wliere the summers re long and hot, and whose climate strongly predisposes to bilious complaints; and we speak for ourselves when we affirm our belief that the wann bath, more especially, is at tended with the most beneficial results to those whose business compels tliem to pass the en tire season here. Why, then, will not some one build a bath house? It would doubtless prove a profitable concern, and would afford us one of the highest and most healthy enjoy ments during a long season of burning heat, and possibly much sickness. The youthful and talented Miss Missouri, who recently made a most brilliant and suc cessful debut at the National Theatre, New- York, in the character of Alice, in Ernest Maltravers, died of inflammation of the brain, caused by great mental excitement, produced by the unnatural persecution of her mother, ot whom the devil appears to have acquired a fee simple lille. It is said that James K. Paulding, Esq. has been appointed Secretary of the Navy. Mr. P. is a distinguished literary character, and has been for some time assistant in the Navy’ Department. An editor of a Van Buren paper in Colum bus, Ga. writes us thus: 1 I shall die without your paper/ We think it likely he will.— Prentice. In that case we shall die the death of the righteous. Major General Macomb has repaired to the frontier station, and will assume the com ma .id, in person, of all our troops stationed ju that quarter. THE LOSS OF THE PULASKI. ‘ This affecting and awful catastrophe has been so repeatedly published in various pa pers since its occurrence, that we deem it unnecessary to spread tire details on our pa ges to-day. The express slips received at our office daily, have been full of this most melancholy and thrilling disaster, and a ma jority of our citizens have been made acquaint ed with the facts; so that we conceive a simple recapitulation of the facts will suffice for the present writing. On the 14th inst* wlicn about thirty miles from land, off Wil mington, N. C. the Pulaski burst her b'ilen and in forty-four minutes thereafier she part ed ir. the centre, and the stern part sunk, while the wreck of the bow floated off, having on board eighteen persons, who clung to this favored portion of the unfortunate boat for four days and five nights, when they were rescued hv a schooner passing in that direc tion, and safely carried on shore. There were one hundred and eighty-seven souls on board the Pulaski, at the time of her sinking, inclu ding the crew; fifty-nine have since been saved, making a total loss of one hundred and twenty-six, a greater loss by twenty lives than that sustained by the Home! Among the missing we are pained to notice Mrs. Britt and Miss Heald. Mrs. B. was the wife of Capt. David Britt, one of our most worthy and estimable citizens. His affliction is severe and deep, and be is fully entitled to what we are sure he has already received, the sincere condolence of his neighbors and fellow-citizens. : „ -• - This, heart-rending-accident is attributed to the neglect and carelessness of the second Engineer. V: THE GREAT WESTERN. - This packet arrived at New York on the morning of the 17th inst. having made the passage from Liverpool to New York in fourteen days and a half, from dock to dock. The slip containing the news of her arrival was received at our office on the morning of the 22d, making only eighteen days and a half from Liverpool to Columbus, Georgia !!! This is almost annihilating space, and show ing but a very slight regard lor time. The Sirius made ; er outward passage in seventeen days, from land to land, having encountered a severe gale, and the Greai Western made hers in fifteen days and nine hours! The London money market of the Ist of June gave evident signs of improvement, but the Cotton market remained flat and inactive; the sales of the day were 3500 bags, at prices varying from 4 1 -4J to 7 S-4d. Bennett has written home a long ‘rambling’ letter from London full of nonsense. We are looking to the account of the coronation with pleasing anticipations. The celebrated Prince Talleyrand died at Paris on the evening of the 17th of May, in the 84th year of his age. The Courier Francais says : ‘ In death he preserved all the stoicism of his life. He went out of the world like a true courtier , by using flattering words to his King, and like a true diplomatist , by negotiating with the Pope.’ The Sirius arrived on the lSih, having a passage of IS days. All her news was anti cipated by the Great Western. The State of the Money Market. —West Florida money Jive cents on a dollar. Com mercial Bank of Florida three drinks for Jive dollars —operations exceedingly limited— market dull and falling. For the Sentinel and Herald. SKETCHES, AD LIBITUM. BY HORATIO WALDO, ESQ. THE ILL-FATED PULASKI. ‘ Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean—roll 1 Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain ; Man marks the earth with ruin—his control Stops with the shore ;—upon the watery plain The wrecks are all thy deed nor doth remain A shadow of man’s ravage, save his own, When, for a moment, like a drop of rain, He sinks into thy depths with bubblins groan, Without a grave, unknell’d, uncoffin’d and unknown.’ Byron. The sea has alternately rolled in solemn grandeur, or slept in peaceful silence, since the awful wreck of the Albion, or the fearful sinking of the Home; and the rivers have purled away quietly to the ocean, or ritshed with terror and affright from their swelling sources in the mountains, since the loss of the Sherrod and the Moselle—and thousands slumber in their watery graves, free fiom the cares and turmoils of life, having their secure repose in that dreamy ocean where the Peri sleeps by the silvery moonlight, and where reigns in supreme and eternal solemnity the undisturbed silence of the dead ! Look we down into the unfathomable depths of the great world of waters, and how immense and varied the multitude which meets our aston ished view ! Countless, almost as ihe stars ofbeaven, and themselves the beautiful sta tues of the great deep, on which the first blushing light of the bright sun of the morn ing is reflected ; they are seen as it were sus- pended between two worlds, reluctantly yield ing their grasp on the one, while by the im mutable taws of nature they are urged for ward to the unwitnessed scenes of the other. For. a while repose had reigned in the mir rored chambers of the deep, and while the great mower in the field of mortality had put in his unrelenting scythe, and was sweeping down his thousands of victims, the insatiate grave seemed to claim the mass, and the dust of the earth and the clod of the valley, had apparently gained a triumph over the wave of forgetfulness, and the green billow ofocean. But heard you that sound, so like unto the agonizing voice of terror itself! tearing, rend ing and destroying as it went! The genius and ingenuity of man. baffled by his careless ness and neglect, had produced that tremen dous conflict of power, which in its terrific outbreaking, tore from under a crowd of slumbering mortals those props of safety on which they had rested with fatal security; and down into the deep and noiseless sea of the dead, plunged the unwarned throng, send -1 ing out upon the heavy breeze of midnight, their deep nd untold groans of agony and despair! Oh ye who garner up in your hearts the affections and endearments of home—the sweet prattle of infant innocence —the merry nnd jocund laugh of youth —the approving smile and kind regard of age, how gaze ye upon this picture of indescribable gloom and horror, on the dark and awful outlines of which, not a ray of light is seen to glimmer! Parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives, went down to gether, with scarce a moment to exchange a tear, or mingle a prayer! 4 The sea lo them was as a rolling bark Which bore them to eternity ; they saw Tin* ocean round, but had no time to mark The motions of their vessel.’ # # # # * Youth and beauty had started on a trip of pleasure. With tearful eye and quivering lip they had bade adieu to the friends they left behind them, and had thrown a lingering glance upon their native and much-loved city, as it faded in the distance ; but their fond hearts were out upon the bright wave of anticipated pleasure, and hope, with her soft whisper and joyous laugh, pointed them to the future, and painted its countless scenes of enjoyment in brilliant and fascinating colors. What a glowing picture was he _ e presented of human life, at a season when the freshness and buoyancy of youth grasps the cop of nectar and quaffs it with delight, not recking of the poisonous dregs which lie at the bottom. Sudden and sad was the change which came o’er the spirit of their dreaiii: * Last noon beheld them full of lusty life, Last eve in beauty’s circle proudly gay.’ To-day the insatiate sea opens its mouth and swallows them—the mighty waters gather around the light of their fondest hope, and extinguish it forever! Dark, forlorn and hopeless was the hour, when the shattered wreck sunk from the view of heaven and earth—covered with all ages, sexes and con ditions of human beings! but lo! it rises again! and the joyful hope that fills each bosom, swells the heart like agony itself! ye ‘stars that glitter on the robe of night,’ shed your brightest rays on the pathway of the perishing! and thou, soft and pensive moon, whose light is fur the innocent and suffering, pour thy broad and effulgent beams upon the ocean, till it glare as a burning world, that some friendly sa : l may discover, and come to the rescue of those dying mortals ! **##- The mother hugs closer to her bosom her infant, wet and chill from this sudden and un hidden baptism—and the hope that gleams in that mother’s eye, is bright and cheering as the star which looks forth upon a waking world, from the grey dawn of morning: The daughter clings to the nerved frame of her father, with the trembling confidence of the Roman maid, into whose bosom the instru ment of death is about to be plunged, by that arm on which she leans for support —and as the father catches the anxious, imploring eye of his daughter, he feels as though he could thrice swim the Hellespont with his precious burden in his arms. But ere the first look of astonishment is withdrawn —ere a prayer is said, or a farewell taken—the moon failing in her ccnvov of mercy, and the stars twinkling fainter and fainter in the heavens high—the mother crying ‘ Oh ! save my darling babe,’ and the father agonizing to leap on shore with his beloved daughter, or looking up lo the stars, praying to be caught up into their midst; ere any of these petitions of despairing souls can be answered, the yawning gulph is again opened —the fated hulk again sinks, and amidst shrieks and groans that pierce the very heavens, the cold bosom of the ocean receives them as its final treasure! The last view might have been, a cherub infant borne above the wave upon the exten ded arms of its struggling mother, smiling in the sweetness of innocence as it sunk into the blue sea, perfectly unconscious of danger or harm. Move lightly ye mermaids of ocean, as ye pass around the victims of the ill-lated Pulas ki! more hallowed than those who sleep in the family vault, covered by the weeping willow, they should not be disturbed, until that stupendous day, when 4 the grave shall yield up its victims, and the sea shall give up her dead.’ NOTICE. At a meeting of the Young Men's Frank lin Literary Association, held on Friday Evening, June 15th, on motion, it was Resolved, That a person be appointed by the President to deliver an oration before this Association, on the night of the 4th July next. In pursuance of the above resolution, Mr. James M. Mitchell was appointed to deliver the oration. The Methodist Church has been obtained for the occasion. The citizens generally are respectfully in vited to attend. M. S. BUCKELEW; Secretary. Columbus, 19th June, IS3B. Messrs. Editors :— I see the city autho rities levy a tax on hank stock, and learn that, since the Legislature have relinquished the whole of the State tax to the counties for county purposes, the tax collectors in some of the counties have also added the item k Bank Stock’ in their digest. This proceed ing is destitute of any authority of Jaw. The statute taxing bank stock looks to the corpo ration for the tax, and provides especially the manner of assessment and collection ; which is done without the intervention of Receivers or Collectors, (see the law, Prince’s new Dig. p. 459, or the new Georgia Justice, p. 242.) This law stands unrepealed and unaltered; and the tax is still required, under a heavy penalty, to be paid into the State Treasury, and is paid tl*ere. . Now, as this species of property is taxed under special law, and in a special manner, it is not embraced in the Uw giving the whole State t3x to the counties; nor can this tax ever to the counties but by another special law’ repealing this, and providing anew mode of assessment and collection. Lnoer the existing tax laws, the tax Receivers and Collectors, for county or city, have no more to do with the tax on bank stock than with the collection of pi>biic duties in the city of ]Stw York. It is absurd for tbe city autho-! rities of Columbus to class Bank incorpora tions among subjects of general taxation. Either their charter or their ordinance pre scribes the form of an oath to be administer ed. Read the oath, and then say with what propriety or consistency such an oath can be administered to a corporation, or any member of it ? Suppose the bank shall refuse to give j in, (as must be the case) and the execution fol- j lows, will not the receipt of the State Trea surer, for sueh Bank's tax, paid in conformity j to the existing law of the Stale, be a ‘ receipt in full’ upon any such execution ? Most cer- j tainly. Believing that the courts will so determine, I would respectfully solicit the j attention of the city and county authorities to the subject, that if, upon examination of the law, they should deem themselves to be in error, the error may proceed no further. CITIZEN. For the Sentinel and Herald.’ Messrs. Editors : It is a source of greet pleasure to me, and must be so to ail lovers j of good order, to learn that great improve- i inent, in the moral condition of your city, has already been effected by the stern and j inflexible course adopted by your Judge, who, ; it seems, is determined to visit, with the lull measure of the law, all those outrageous of- j fenders who are brought before him. Had some of his predecessors adopted such a course, many of those bloody tragedies, heart- j rending and disgraceful scenes might have ; been prevented. But strange to tell, notwith standing the frequent occurrence of those ag- j gravated murders by which your city has been filled with widows and orphans, none have atoned for the violated law, noire have been brought to condign punishment. Such a course upon the part of our judicial officers, must have tended greatly to encourage that reckless spirit which the romantic youth of our day construe into chivalry; hence the great de- i tnand for thoseimplementsofdeath; and under j this popular delusion not only the modern Don i Quixottes, but many of our most respectable citizens, especially in your city, regard the pistol and bmvie knife, or dirk, as an indis pensesible portion of their costume, aft hough in positive violation of law’! It is said, how ever, that vendors of these articles find fewer customers, and the hope is cherished that un der the administration of the law of your | present Judge, the vile, guilty, blood-stained murderer will not only tremble but expiate j his guilt upon tbe ignominious gallows. Much i as has been done towards ameliorating the : condition of society in your young and beau tiful city, yet Ihere still remains much to do; for never in the whole course of my life were mv feelings so outraged as they were by an exhibition, which I witnessed in your county a few days since, and that, too, upon the great highway or thoroughfare within nine miles of vour city. Though a large slave holder, residing in a country filled wish that population, for the first tmie in my life had I the mortification to witness a scene of barba rity and savage cruelty that would scarcely be tolerated in a land of cannibals. I will not shock your humanity by a minute detail j of the .refinement in cruelty, as practised by | one of your citizens, and that, too, almost in , sight of two large edifices dedicated to the j worship of the true and living God; and j many of the followers of our meek and lowly ! Jesus made to Witness the brutal treatment of j a human being when’ going and’ returning from the blessed sanctuary. There is no exag geration in this matter, as you are aware I have none of those morbid or sickly sensibili ties that characterize many professors of re ligion, who strain at gnats and swallow camels. lam an advocate for good disci pline, and rejoice to say that I reside among a slave-holding people whose humanity and kindness render their domestics the happiest people I ever saw ; and an act of cruelty I never witnessed upon the part of any slave holder in mv county.- CITY HALL, Columbus, Ga. ) June 27, 183S. $ A number of the citizens assembled Ibis morning*, in the Council Room, for the pur pose of uniting with the city authorities in tendering our respects to our distinguished fellow citizen, Col.

Therefore Resolved, That the Mayor pro tem. call a public meeting of our citizens, for the pur pose of making such arrangements and show ing such respect and attention to our distin guished and patriotic guest as the case and occasion require. Resolved, That his Honor appoint a com mittee oflhree, from the City Council, to co operate with such committee as may be ap pointed by the meeting of the citizens. On motion of Alderman Chipley, the fire going resolutions were stricken out, and the following resolutions offered as a substitute : | Resolved, That a committee be appointed ; to wail on Mr. King, anu ascertain if he will i consent to address the public on the subject of internal improvement. Resolved, That, should he consent, the Mayor pro tem. cali a meeting of such citi zens, at such time as may meet the conven ience of Mr. King. Whereupon Messrs.
