CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AU«USTA.~
Monday Morning) September I*. 1
i I
There is much good sense contained in a lew i
words, in the following pithy paragraph from the
Lynchburg Virginian. It is insisted by the friends I
of the Sub Treasury that it is a truly Southern i
measure, and that it will have the effect to revive '
and build up Southern commerce, and unshackle i
vis from that commercial bondage by which tho
North has grown rich upon the industry of the I
Souih. The friends of Vaij Horen in the North- l
ern Stales, support this measure with great tinan- I
imity. Now wo ask our intelligent readers, if it i
is probable, that the people of tho North of any i
parly, would so far forget their own interests, as |
to support any measuro which would overthrow |
their own commerce and thereby destroy line very |
sources of their own prosperity ? i
“If tho Sub-Treasury scheme he so favorable, i
and the National Hank so hnsnlo to Southern in
terests, as Mi. Calhoun and his clique represent, ,
why is it that Marlin Van Huron and all his
Xorthern friends are so much in favor of the 1
former, and opposed to the latter"? Is Northern
sagacity less keen than formerly where Northern
interests arc involved ? Or are tho Northern
democrats so suddenly generous that they are
prepared to do every thing they can to build up
Southern commerce, and prostrate their own?—
Does Mr. Calhoun expect tho Southern people to
believe this absurdity ?”
It appears by the latest intelligence from the
Mormonites in Missouri, that there is every pros
pect of bloody work between (hem and ihe citi.
zens of Davies county. The Mormonites have
committed insufferable outrages. They can raise
from 1,000 to 1,500 lighting men, well armed.
The citizens of Davies have held a public mee
ting and appealed to the ncighboiing counties for
military .fid.
The Hon. John Campbell, one of the three
South Carolina members of Congress who voted
against the Sub-Treasury Hill, bring invited to
the Dinner to Messrs. Calhoun, Preston and El
more, at Columbia, and being unable to attend,
replied to the invitation in a brief letter, charac
terized by much calmness and good sense. We
make the following extract;
‘■The separation of the Government deposites,
from the banking or commercial operations, is
recommended by many considerations,
“1 regard this however, ns a very different pro
position from that onerous provision with which
the late Sub Treasury Hill was encumbered—
the requirement of gold and silver in payment
of the public dues.
“The separation of the Government Deposites
from banking or commercial purposes, I believe
to ho correct in principle, and if carried into ef
fect, would prove beneficial in practice. Tho re
quirement of gold and silver, exclusively, in
payment of the public dues, would on the con
trary bean act of unnecessary oppression—un
called for by any tiling in Ihe condition of the
country, and in addition In the other evils, would,
by creating vexatious restrictions on our foreign
commerce, produce an unfavorable effect upon
the piiees of those great Southern staples which
depend principally on a foreign marke fordemand.
•Tn conclusion 1 offer the following sentiment:
“Taxes are at best a necessary evil, and it is
as much (he duty of the Government in their
collection, to avoid unnecessary oppression upon
the citizen, as it is the duty of the citizen to pay
their taxes, legitimately imposed tor the support
■ of government.”
I have the honor to he, very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
JOHN CAMPBELL.
Col. R. 11. Gooiiwv.v, Chairman, Uc."
As a number of the friends of J. 0. Calhoun
and the Sub-Treasury uro in the constant habit
of giving assurances that the Sub Treasury
scheme was a favorite measure of his at the lime
ho advocated the rtcharler of the United Slates
Bank, wo will give a few remarks made by him
iu the Senate Chamber on (he 21st of .March,
1834. The following is his language ;
“To give efficiency to this power (of regulating
the coins,) then some other must be combined
with it.—The most immediate and obvious, is
that which has been suggested, of excluding all
hut specie in the receipts of Hie Government.
This measure would be effectual to a certain ex
lent, but with a declining income, which must
take place under the operation of the act of the
last Session, to adjust the Taiiffund which must
greatly reduce the revenue (a point of the utmost
importance in the reformation and regulation of
our institutions,) the ellrcaey ol the measure must
be correspondingly diminished. From the nature
of things it cannot greatly exceed the average of
the Government depositee, which, I hope, will be
fore many years be reduced to the smallest possi.
ble amount, so as to prevent the possibility of the
recurrence ot the shameful and dangerous state
of tilings which now exist and which has been
caused by the vast amount of the surplus revenue;
but there is, in my opinion, a strong, if not an
insuperable objection to this measure, resulting
from the fact, that an exclusive receipt of specie
in the Tieasuvy, would, to give it efficacy and
prevent extensive speculation and fiiauh, res
quire an entire hisconnkction, on the part of
the Government with the haniono hxstem in all
its forms and a resort to the btiionu nox as the
means of preserving and guarding its funds—a
means if practicable at all, in the present stale
ol things, liable to the objection of being far less
safe, economical and efficient Ilian tire pres
ent.”
In the same argument we find the following
emphatic passage :
"After a full'survey of the whole subject, I sec 1
none, 1 can conjecture no means of extricating
the country from its present danger, and to arrest
its furl her increase, but a hank — the agency of
which, in some form or under some authority, is ,
indispensihle.”

Azalea, lith September, 1338. ]
To the Editors of the Augusta Constitutionalist :
Gentlemen : — My attention was yesterday i
directed by a friend, to an article in your paper
of the 4lh instant, in which you ask me by name,
why 1 do not “bo'dly and independently divulge
my principles to the people of Georgia.” t
f concur with you entirely in the opinion, that 1
the people arc entitled to know my sentiments on
all imporlan' points of policy ; and in accordance t
with that conviction, I did, on the Ist day of this r
month, transmit to the office of the Southern '
Whig, at Athens, a statement of my opinions, as '
full and distinct as I could find words to express
thorn ; and although the Whig of the Bth inst,
has not yet reached me, I have understood that
my statement would appear in that paper on 1
that <lay. This statement was prepared in reply
to the very first calls which were made upon mo |
by my fellow-citizens, and you have done me .
but justice in declaring your belief “that lam t
too honorable to desire to conceal from my fellow. !
citizens the principles I entertain, and the mea
sures I will support in Congress, if elected ;” and |
“that I would not sacrifice my reputation and
standing in society, merely to obtain a seat in i
Congress.” Ido not hesitate to believe, however 1
you may think I have, erred in opinion, that
you will do mo' the further justice to declare,
that from your long acquaintance widi rny char- i
actor, my feelings arc wholly with the South, in
all matters of importance to Southern interests
and prosperity, and that I will honcsily support
such measures, as in rny opinion, may ho best
adapted to cll’uct those objects.
On the currency question, from its intrinsic
difficulties, men will differ, and differ honestly ;
and perhaps no two reflecting men can he found,
who will agree precisely on all the details. There
cannot he hotter evidence of this, than the fact
that Mr. Calhoun and Mr. McDuffie have differed
so widely on the material point in that question.
In my reply to the electors of Taliaferro, I have
stated my reasons for differing with Mr. Calhoun.
Mr. McDuffie's plan of making treasury notes
bearing no interest, the only currency receivable
into, and payable out of the treasury, is utterly
impracticable for the purposes he stales, and oven
more objectionable than Mr. Calhoun’s; for it
must he seen upon a moment’s reflection, that if
the government, on any great emergency, even
such as a Florida war, is forced, as it would be,
to issue such Treasury notes to an amount much
beyond the amount to be paid into the Treasury,
as they hear no interest, and are only receivable
in payments to the government, and arc not pay
able in specie on demand, they must depreciate;
and if the amount issued is less than the amount
to ho paid in, they must appreciate —our experi
ence during the last war with England, and also
during the late pressure, and perhaps oven at this
moment, will prove this, although Ihe Treasury
notes bore interest. During tlut war, w ith an
in'ercst of five nr six per cent., they depreciated
from £lOO to $9O, and government was obliged
to resort to hunk loans and depreciated hank
paper, as all will recollect who are old enough ;
and lately, while at par in New York, ihey were
from fi to 8 per cent premium in Augusta, and
15 at Mobile, and even now they arc at a premium
! at the South.
In calling lor my opinions, I cannot but be
lieve, that you honestly desire, that they should
he fairy and fully spread before the whole peo
ple of Georgia prior to the day of election, I have
therefore to ask, that you will publish my state
ment in your columns at length, in manner and
term as you will find it set forth and signed by
myself in the Whig, and that at some early dnv*
and it you cannot do so, you will at least publish i
this letter, that your readers may know precisely |
where to find my opinions.—I would also ask j
through you, that such other editors in Gcorgia> J
as have expressed an anxiety that my sentiments !
should he known in my fellow citizens, will do I
justice to llio electors, as well ns to myself, by 1
granting to mo the like favour,
1 am gentlemen, i ;
Very respectfully, i

From the New Orleans Bee, -
'J’he J.nto Murder. s
In our last, we gave the details of this horrible '
tragedy so tar as ihcy had come to our knowledge. 1
On Saturday, a further examination into the I
alfair was had before the recorder of tho second v
municipality, Irani which (he following parlicu. c
lars are gathered. J
Smith, the barkeeper of Mrs. Doyle’s tavern,
surrendered himself on Saturday morning, after -
wandering over the neighboring country, hotly s
pursued by tho police. When ho gave himself f
up, he observed that he was aware ■ hat he was i
going to be hanged, and was determined to make j t
a full and true confession of all the facts within i
his knowledge, relating to llio murder in ques-
lion. He- slated before the recorder that the j ■
woman of the house, Mrs. Doyle, was tho first ,
to propose the murder of Godliep to her accom- j
plices, assuring them that ho had a considerable j
sum of money in his possession, besides a watch
ai d oilier valuables, and she suggested as the 1
safest method of putting him out of the way to -
gorge him with laudanum. Accordingly, (Smith
was despatched to purchase a quantity of tea iu 1
which to pour the fatal dose. Godiiop however 1
declined drinking the tea, hut afterwards swal- 1
lowed a glass of beer, mixed with a quantity of 1
laudanum. A supper was then served up, of 1
which the victim was invited to partake, shortly I
after which, while talking to Mrs. Doyle, he ex
hibited such signs of faintness that they put him 1
to bud ; a little lime elapsed when he began to i
vomit and rolled from the bed to the floor, and
according to Smith, when they felt his hand, he
was ilead.
When it was ascertained that life was extinct,
Mrs. Doyle proposed that the corpse should be
carried to the .door of Mr. Barry, a police mm
missary, who lived in (ho neighborhood. Smith
suggested dial ;i would be belter to lay the mat
ter before the police and try to make them be
lieve that the man tiad died a natural death ;
ibis plan was warmly opposed, particularly by
iho woman, and while the debate was going on
Suiiih leit tho house, and of course saw nothing
of the culling up and burying under rho floor.
■ rruih’s evidence brings the afl'tir down to the
one lof the three men and Mrs. Doyle, which
was related in our paper of Mm urday.
irt’m the Suying* and Doings qf Samuel Slick.
Auol't sweauimi,—l mind ono ('veilin’
urier Imy harvest, lather said to me, Hum, said
lie, ’spose we go down and sen minister; 1
jrucs* lie’s a little miffcy with mo, for I brought
Imn up all stimdin’ t’other night hy snyin’ The
j Unglish wore a damned overbomin’tyrannical
I race, and ho hadn’t another word to say.
I When yon inn!to use of such langinn’o iU
, that art;. Colonel Slick, said he, thero 7 s an
eend ol nil conversation. I allow it is very
disrespectful to swear afore a minister, anil
very onhundsonio to do so at. all, and 1 ’don’t
approbate such talk at no rale. Hu wo will
drop the subject if you please. Wei', I got
pretty grumpy too, and wo parted m a bulls 1
lliiuli, myself, pays falbor, it warn't pretty to
swear afore him; for, Ham, if there is a good
man again’ it is minister—that’s a fact. But,
Ham, says bo, wo military men—and he
straightened himself up considerablestdl' and
pulled up Ins collar, and looked as tiereo as a
lion—we military men, says lie, have a habit
ot rappin’ out an oath now and then. Very
few of our heroes didn't swear. 1 recollect
that tarnation lire eater, Gmeral Gates, when
he was in our service, ordered me once to at
lack a British outpost, and I didn’t much more
than halt like it. Gmeral, says I, there’s a
plaguy stone wall there, and the British have
lined it. 1 guess; and I’m alhiiikiu’t it ain’t
altogether gist safe logo 100 near it. I)—m—n,
Captain Slick, says he,ain’t there two sides
to a stone wall! Don’t let me hear the like
ag’io from you, said lie, captain, or I hope I
may bo tetotallv d—d if I don’t break von! —
1 will, by gosh! lie warn’t a man to bo trifled
with, you may depend. Ho I drew up my
company, and made at the wail double quick,
expectin’ every mint would he our last. Gist
as we got near the fence, I lieerud n scram
blin’ mid a scuddin’ behind n, and 1 said, now,
says I, for’ard my hoys, loryour lives! hotfoot
and down under the fence on your face! and
then we shall he as safe as they ho, and p’rhaps
wo can loophole ’em. Well, we gist hit it,
and got there without a shut, and down on
our faces as flat as flounders. Presently we
tieerd the British run for dear life, and take
fight back across the road, full slip. Now,
(ays, I, my hearties, up and let drive at ’em,
right over the wall! Well, we got on our
tnees, and cocked our guns, so ns to have all
ready, and then wo jump’d up an eend, and
seen’ nothin’ hut u great cloud o’dust, we fired
right into it, and down vve heered’um tumble;
md when the dust cleared off, we saw the
natter of twenty while breeches turned up to
is sprawlin’ on the; ground. G.sl at that mo.
nent wo hecred three cheers from the enemy ,
it the fort, and a great shout of larfin’ from
>ur army loo; they haw-hawed like thunder.
Well, says I, as soon as I could sec, if that i
lon’t bang I lie bush. I’ll lie darn’d if it ain’t i
i flock of slice)) belongin’ to Elder Solomon
Ij'ingstalf, arter all, and if we ain’t killed the
na'ter of a score of ’em too, ns dead ns mul
on—that’s a fact. Weil, wo returned con
idernhie down in the mouth, and says the
[moral, captain, says lie, 1 guess you made
lie enemy look pretty sheepish, didn’t yon?
Well, if the officers didn’t larf, il’sa pity; and
lays a Varginy officer that was there, in a sort
if half whisper, that wall was well lined, you
nay depend; sheep on one side and asses on
lie other! Hays 1, stranger, you had belter
lot say that are ag’in, or I’ll . Gentlemen,
lays the ginerul, resarve your heat for the
moiny; no quarrels among ourselves, and he
ode off, havin’ first whispered in my cur, Do
■on hear, captain, d—n yon! there’are two
ides to a wall. Yes, says I, gmeral, and two
ides to a slory too. And don’t, for gracious
ake, say any more about it. Yes, we milita
y men all swears a few—it’s the practice of
lie camp, and seems kinder (lateral. But I’ll
■o and make friends with minister.
Slavery.— The truth is, said the Clock
naker. nothin’ raises my dander more than to
iear English (oiks aim our Eastern citizens
iialkin’ about this subject that limy don’t un
lerstaiid, and have nothin’to do with. Il
mail critters will go down South a meddlin’
.vitli tilings that don’t consarn ’em, they dc
arvo wiial they catch. 1 don’t mean to say
I approve of lynchin’, because that’s horrid;
jut when a Idler gels himself kicked, or his
nose pulled, and hires how the covvskin feels,
1 don’t pity him one morsel.
Hot weather. —BiP, squire, aint this
been a hot day ! 1 think it would pass mus
ter among the hot ones of the West Indgies,
a’most. I do wish I could gist slip off my
flesh and sit in my. bones for a space, to cool
myself, (or 1 nint seed such lhaw'y weather
this many a year, I know.
W hat we can uo.—You don’t understand
us, 1 see, foreigner; wo got diups in our coun
try that can stand on one side of the Missis
sippi and kill u racoon on t’other side with a
sneeze—riguiar ring tail roarers; don’t pro
voke us; it wouldn’t he over safe, I assure you.
We can out-talk thunder, out.run a flash ol
lightnin’ and out-reach all the world; we can
whin our weight of wild cats. The British
cun lick all the world and we can lick the
British.
Extravaoance in the united states.
—Do you sec them arc country galls there,
said Mr. Slick, how they are tricked out in
silks, and touched off with lace and riband to
tile nine’s, a mincin’along with parasols in
their hands, as if they were nfear’d the sun
would melt them like wax, or take the colour
out of their face, like a printed cotton blind ?
Well, that’s gist the ruin of tins country. It,
ain’t poverty the blue noses have lo fear, for
that they needn’t know without they chouse
to make acquaintances with it, but it’s gentil
ity. They go the whole hog in ties country,
you may depend. They a 1 n’t content to ap
pear what they he; but want to be what they
ain’t; they live too exiravigant and dress 100
oxtravigant, and won’t do what’s the only
thing that will supply this extravagance; that
is, be industrious. Gist go into One ot the
meelin’ houses, back here in the woods, where
there might lo lie nothin’hat homespun cloth,
and home-made stuffs and bonnets, and see
the leghorns and palmcttors, and siiks and
shalleys, morenos, gauzes, and blonds, assem
bled there, enough to buy the best farm in the
settlement. There's somethin’ not altogeth

I'-iIIITORI VI. WRITINGS. A few llliys RgO
tho INational Intelligencer had some sonsiblo
remarks on tho subject of editing a paper.
One idea expressed, lias frcriu.mtly struck us
with great force. Many people estimate the
11 hi lily of a newspaper, and the industry and
talents ol its editor, by the variety and qnan
tity of editorial matter which it contains. No
thing can bo more fallacious. It, is compara
tively an easy task fur a frothy writer to pour
out, daily, columns of words — words, upon
any and all subjects.—llls ideas may flow in
“one weak, washy, everlasting Hood,” and Ins
command of language may enable him to
string them together, like hunches of onions;
and yet his paper may be a monger and poor
concern. Unt what is the labor, the toil ol
such a man, who displays his “leaded matter" ,
ever so largely, to that imposed upon tiiejndi .
cions, well-informed editor, who exercises his
vocation, with an hourly consciousness of its
responsibilities and its duties, arid devotes
himself to the conduct of his paper, with the
same care mid assiduity that a sensible lawyer
bestows upon a suit, or a humane physician
upon a patient—without regard to show or
display! Indeed the mere writing part, of
editing a paper, is but n small portion nt tlie
work. The industry, even is not shown I here.
The care, tho taste, the time, employed in
selecting —is far more im port mil—and the
tael of a good editor is belter shown by bis
selection Ilian anything else; and that, we all
know, is half the buttle, lint, us wo have
said, an editor ought to bo estimated, and his
labors understood and appreciated, by the
general conduct of bis paper—its tone —ils
temper —its manner—its uniform, consistent
course—ils principles—its aims—its inanli.
ness—its courtesy—its dignity—its propriety.
To preserve nil these, as they should be pro
served, is enough to occupy fully the lime ami
attention of any man. Jl to this be added
the general supervision of the newspaper es
tablishment, which most editors have to en
counter, the wonder is how they can lirui time
or “bend room” t otvrilcal all.—Alexandria

Power of Imagination. —Thera once
lived n very pious though hypochondriacal
man, who was a patron of most of the nos
trums which, in those days, arc recommended
os “certain cures” of all the diseases which
utllicl our race, and verily behoved in their
efficacy, though he grew t,o hotter by taking
them. <>n a certain occasion, being in the
city of Providence, be board of a famous me.
diciue, t ha', like the “Matchless Sanative”
and “Brandretli’s Pills,” was “astonishing
every body with ils inq lily cures.” He has
tened to obtain it, and, returning home in the
evening, requested the lady with whom be
boarded to steep it according to directions,
(tin? medicine consisting of roots and herbs,)
. trial he might try its effects curly on tho fol
lowing morning. Accoidingly,the kettle was
hung over, iimi, after a suitable lime spent in
' simmering and stirring, it was deposited in the
corner, and, alter taking a dose, the invalid
retired to rest. Before light, however, he
• was up, and knocked loudly at the door of his
■ landlord and lady, requesting them both to rise
and try the virtues ot this new panacea, “for,”
added he, “I heard you both complain of in
• disposition lac’, evening, and 1 have no doubt
it will do you good.” The gentleman arose,
i and the invalid, with cup and spoon, proposed
i the prescribed dose for both, adding a small
-■ quantity of brandy, as directed; winch having
taken, they sat down to feel its effects. Soon
• he thought lie felt it working in Ins stomach;
, in a few minutes more fie could perceive its
t iufl 'dice mi his whole system, and ho began
■) earnestly to call fpr bis landlady to come forth
i and try it too. She soon appeared, ami be
i began to tel) her bow wonderfully this new
r medicine was operating. ‘ Why,” said he,
? “I can feel it to .the cud of my toes; but come,
t you must try r.” So saying, he took the cup
r and spoon, and was in the act of dipping again
3 from the kettle, when the lady exclaimed,
- “what! is that your wonderful medicine?"
, “Certainly,” said he, “you know wo stooped
- it last night.” “Yes,” said she, ‘and alter
f you went to bed 1 poured iliu a bowl, and i
> warmed some water in Ino kettle. It is my
/ dish water that you feel to the cud of your
t toes.” Ho was done up; he looked imploringly
u to iho man and his wife, and said, “now, don’t
e toil of this.” “1 certainly will,” said the man,
i, “for it is too good a story to he lust; and, be
e side, it is a Hue illustration of tho power of
I the imagination.”
15 Nationai. Confidence.—"Tbcrh never
• was, and probably never will be,” said (Jo pi.
Meringtoh, “so powerful an example ot the
u influence of national confidence and courtesy,
i- remaining unimpaired even during the comm

Oh! think of mo when friends surround,
And homage hieathes fromcv’ry lip;
When hope with glowing rapture crowned,’

As one who joys to hear thy praise.
Ami in thy pleasure finds his own ;
Content to catch thy wund’ring gaze,
J o silent Jove, and love alone.
Oh think of me when sorrows low’r.
And east thedr shadows o’er thy brow,
In sickness, and in dangei’. hour,
\V hen friends arc lied, who bless thee now*
No cold repulse will meet dice here :
More cherished than in days of pride,
My love shall chock each rising tear,

Enough for rnc that thou art blest;

No jealous ping shall wound my breast.

To sooth and cheer thee ’mid the gloom,
To shield thee from neglect and alight.
