[From thie Constitutionalist.] Relief to Tallahassee. —The ac tion of the Council iq| regard to the call j for assistance to the sufferers by the Tal- 1 lahassee fire is explained in the resolution which follows. It will hardly be neces sary to say, that the call will not be disregarded by those who know what such a calamity is, and have themselves felt the comfort of an answering sympa thy from others. We feel assured that the respectable gentlemen who compose the several ward committees, will give a prompt and zealous execution to their duties. Mayor’s Office, June 3,1843. At a meeting of the City Council, held this day, the following resolution was passed: “ Resolved, That a committee of six citizens from each Ward, be appointed to solicit subscriptions from the citizens generally, to ail the sufferers by the late fire in Tallahassee. Said committee to report the amoiint collected to his Honor, the Mayor, who shall transmit the same to the Mayor of Tallahassee.” t In obedience to the above, I have ap pointed Messrs. Asaph Waterman, S. H. Oliver, L. T. Shopp, ll.fr. Russell, Wal ter Henry and John Foster, for Ward No. 1. Messrs. Daniel ; Hook, C. J. Cook, M. Frederick, Jesse |Kent, D. bottom and John G. Dunlap, jfor Ward No. 2. Messrs. J. B. Bishop, John Kerr, T. S. Metcalf, A. G/jßull, Win. Shear and Thomas Richards, llor Ward No. 3. Messrs. P. Flerhyning, C. B. Hitt, P. Stovall, Wm. NelsUn, E. Snyder and H. C. Bryson, for Wand No. 4, a committee to collect subscriptions for the purpose mentioned in the resolution. M.|M. DYE, Mayor. Proceedingslof Council. Saturday, June 3 d, 1843. Present—the Hon. \M. M. Dye, May or. Messrs. RobertsoVn, Hibler, Garvin, Philip, Greiner, MillerL Hill, Beall, Mc- Whorter, and Crump, Inembers of Coun cil. * I The minutes were reed and confirmed. The following report Was made by the chairman of the Board tlf Health: “The Board of Healtll would congra tulate their fellow-citizeW upon the un usual degree of health nlow enjoyed by the city. A more com;,\lete exemption from the diseases incident to the season and climate, perhaps nevf T existed than at the present time. Wu*h few excep tions, which will be reporteli to the proper officers by the clerk, the colndition of the j lots and yards throughout a he city isun- • exceptionable. The BoarJi would res pectfully suggest that the lifficer whose duty it is to superintend thW scavenger’s carts, be directed tdgive mil>re attention to the manner in which th<*' scavengers discharge their duly, and I*ee that all parts of the city fire regularly visited and no portion « trash Icßff after the T. M. B GBfcTsox, C®urman.” On motion thl report ums received and adapted. I The committee q Water WWorks to whom was referred he petitioiflj of John P. Setze and Jst b SistranU|> report: “That the reque; of the jfiletitioners should be grantee on the pijfvment of fifty dollars by eac of them, mfi assist in defraying the expe se that wifil be incur red in extending tl i line of hmgs the dis tance required. mm Alex’r Philip, C^ftirman.” Which was received and BRpted. Resolved, That the mar® l Committee be authorised to take for the collection of arifarageflJNp for stall rent as they mr[y'Meemjrequitable and proper. The sexton reports time buriil of two i white persons, one'a Ahild uider two years of age, and ten m blacks, four of them children, during time monthly May. The keener of the hcgspitfel reports two ] patients in that institifnion on t|e.3d of June. # Resolved, That tllie committee on pumps and wells be authorised tolhave a well sunk on Walker* street, just , below Ellis-street. Council adjourned^* D. D. mßßTurphy, Clejk. New Cochran has discovered a place fm Echols’ mine in this county, whitW. is, said by some to exceed in richness \\me far-famed Calhoun mine. We have s«en s ,me of the speci mens which ought! to atisfy the most i avaricious desires; I and we are informed that those we had »he pi asure of looking at, were not to be jcomp ired in richness, to some that have fbeen aken out of the mine. This mine sis in i hill, about three miles and a half fr4dm th 3 place. Messrs. Griffin Wf J. Milner, both from Pike county, ffrave ajscovered a vein in sight of this pllace, vjhich is said to equal in richness/ any jein heretofore discovered in When the rich I vein was disco veiled on Mr. Calhoun’s ! mine, it was said | o be the richest gold j mine in the worldl; and we believe that 1 history gives no lacconnt of its equal.)! —————— I *• But the enterprize of our citizens has ; discovered two veins equally rich in less j than a year. We do not hesitate to say, | that the energy and enterprise of our ; citizens, will equal that of any place in the world. And we believe that our gol den country, compensates the enterpris ing and energetic, as well as any place on the globe. We have long wished for, and much needed the aid of a few scien tific men ; but if science refuse her aid, the practical miner must, and will, by his labor, develope the resources of our country—which, in all probability, is without a parallel. Gold Report. — Mr. Moss, dug up near two hundred pennyweights of gold in a day, last week, with twelve hands. We have the promise of a report from the mine managed by Mr. Moss, for the last six weeks. We learn that it is about as profitable as any mine in the county. We expect to obtain the report in time for our next number. Messrs. Field 4* Perkins, dug up one hundred and eighty-one pennyweights last week, with eight hands, from the mine of John E. Calhoun. Messrs. Bran 4* Rider, dug up a piece of gold last week, weighing fifty-five pennyweights; the stock continues to improve. This we believe to be the lar gest piece ever found on the Yahoola. Messrs. Field, McCormick 4’ Light ner, dug up above three hundred penny weights of gold last week with eighteen hands. Messrs. Bedford’s, dug up last week one hundred and forty-eight penny weights of gold, with thirteen hands. We have the promise of a report of the yield of their mine for the last thirteen weeks, which we hope to obtain in time for our next number. [Dahlonega Times. Cotton Domestics.- —The New York Journal of Commerce says: “It is esti mated that within ninety days, not less than forty thousand packages of domes tic cotton manufactures have been ex ported from this country to almost all parts of w'orld. The value is perhaps fifty dollars a package, or two millions of dollars in the aggregate.” The Journal of Commerce estimates the number of persons who made applica tion for the benefit of the late national Bankrupt Act, at 40,000. Their aggre gate indebtedness is supposed to be at least $200,000,000. J “ ! *" ■— The Women of America. —De Toc ! qeville, in his book on “Democracy in America,” pays the follow ing tribute to the virtue and worth of the women of our land:—“As for myself, I do not hesi tate to avow, that, although the women of the United States are confined within the narrow circle of domestic life, and their situation is in some respects one of extreme dependence, I have nowhere seen ' women occupying a loftier position ; and ! if I were asked to what this singular pros j perity and growing strength of that peo-! pie ought mainly to be attributed, I should reply—to the superiority of their wo men.” Kentucky.— The Postmaster of Chap lin, Nelson county, Ky., writing to the editor of the Organ and Washingtonian, says: “The temperance cause is moving on rapidly in this section of the Country; its effects are seen and felt in every class of the community; popular opinion is so strong in favor of the cause, that it has almost destroyed the rum busines in this little village—at least we have reduced the quantity from a barrel to a keg, and we are determined to keep firing away, until we knock the keg into a cocked hat. We had a meeting some time ago, at which we got twenty-three to sign the Pledge, it being the first meeting ever held at that place.” Treating. —The candidates for the office of Clerk of the Court of Sessions and Common Pleas, of Greenville Dis trict, seven in number, have pledged' themselves as gentlemen, not to treat to intoxicating or other drinks, either direct'- ly or indirectly, by their friends or other wise.—[Edgefield Advertiser. j List of Payments to the Washingtonian. / Augusta— C.
