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.” A.

'• For the Chronicle Sentinel. 1 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 \our ob’f. servant, RICHARD W.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
