Mr. Pollard, of Alabama, presented llic pm
erodings of a Convention recently held at Hunts
ville, Ala., which after being read, were on
motion ol Mi. Dealing, ordered to bo recorded.
Dr. Robertson presented the following tcsulu.
lion, which was otdeicd to bo referred to ibe
Committee of £l,
Resolved, That tho Committee of 31 bo re
quested to inquire whether any of the Dinks
have entered into arrangements with fotcign
Banks, by which letters of credit can be obtained
upon sufficient security, by those desiring to enter
into direct importation—and if such arrange,
ments have not been made, to ascertain as far as
possible, the causes that operate against the ac
complishment ot so desirable an object.
Mr. Boyce, of Charleston,said that the matter
ctnbtaccd in the Resolution of Dr. Robertson,
was already before rho Committee of 31, and
had been tclirred to a sub-coinmir.ce
Mr. John A. Calhoun, of S. C., marred the
following resolution:
Resolved, That it be referred to the Cotnmil
millee of 31 to report es to the host practicable
means of inducing our merchants to patronize
Southern ports.
Mr. CALHOUN said, that it had often at d
long been .-aid of us, thzt. wo wore a people too
much inclined to talk and too little inclined to
act. He feared that the remark was too true,
most especially in reference to the gtcnl subject
upon which this Convention bad boon called to
gether to deliberate. An observation rnado to
him by a merchant of the North, during the past
summer, had struck him wnh great force—that
the South had spoken and published a great deal
upon the subject ol direct importations, hut he
had seen no practical had been
done.—Southern merchants were as much dis
posed as ever to patronize Northern ports and he
was not sure but that the disposition was, if any
thing, more strongly exhihi cd now than at any
previous period.
Now sir, said Mr. C. it cannot be expected that
those Merchants ol the South who have been in
the habit of patronizing Northern ports, should
abandon their course, if by so doing they sustain
any loss, but he thought it their duly at loaet to
gi'o the ports ot the South u fair opportunity, by
examining and comparing the facilities and ad
vantages of each. lam informed that the ports
of the South do offer facilities equal to those of
the North, but that a long habit ot visiting the
latter,and indisposition to get outof the old chan
nel, and not any inferiority of tho former, is the
operating cause why our own ports a.e not better
patronized. 11, sir, wc con do any thing by which
to induce our merchants to patronize our own
cities, we shall have accomplished mure for the
cause than by all the speaking and writing of
years.
The resolution was adopted.
Mr. BELLINGER of rj.U. rose and said that
as there wa: nothing of importance now before
the Convention, he would submit a resolution
which it would perhaps have been more proper
to introduce at the close of the Convention, The
matter which he wished to bring before the Con.
vention was perhaps not in itself very important,
or had any direct hearing upon the subject ol for
eign importations hut it was one which he had
much at heart, and he should not feel that he had
discharged his duty without making the move
ment which he now did; at d as the proposition
came from the other side of the Savannah River,
it would certainly ho relieved of the charge of
selfishness. Mr. B. then read the following reso
lution, which he submitted to the judgement of
tho Convention.
Resolved, That the Delegates present will
subscribe a sum sufficient lor the purpose of
ptitcha;iiig a Silver Cup to he presented to
William Bearing ol Athens, as a token of our
respect for the estimable man and highly two
ful and public til citizen who first propo
sed the Commercial Convention and whom we
claim not so much as a son of Georgia as of*
the common South.
Resolved, 1 hat Messrs. Her Boyce, James
G. Holmes, and William Aikin of S. C. be ap
pointed a special committee to receive sub
scriptions and to carry into effect the forego
ing resolution.
Mr. I. E. HOLMES, approved of the reso
lution If any good should he accomplished
if any kind feelings enkindled f or if the chain
of interest by \vh ch we are united is brighten
ed by the action of this Convention—-we shall
certainly owe it to the gentleman to whom lhi s
compliment is in ended. Mr. H. then made a
suggestion to vary the phraseology of the reso
lution, which was accepted by the mover.
Mr. BEARING, rose to express his thanks
for the compliment. It was his desire that
nothing of the kind should be done ; it was
enough for him to see so much talent and en»
etgy codected together to carrv out an enter
prise, for the honor of original* which, oth
ers were as much entitled as h elf. He ho
ped the mover would withdraw die resolution.
Mr. BELLINGER said, that the modesty of
the gentleman in declining the proffered hon
or, was to his mind an additional and concht.
sh e argument in favor of Us adoption.
After being amended on motion of Mr
Boyce, so as to substitute the name of Air. 8,-|,
linger for his own, the resolutions were adop
ted unanimously.
The Convention then adjourned till 12
o’clock tc morrow.

J/r. Editor: —Among some, cents (some of
the fruits of the resumption of specie payments
I presume) I found an old copper coin of the
following description ;
On the lace there is a head, wreathed with
laurels, and on tho margin the inscription “Geor.
gius Dei Gratia Rex,” On the reverse the device
is a double rose of five leaves and five flowers
do luso each, the centre seeded, and around the
rose the motto ‘‘Rasa Americana * Utile Dulci

gratified to learn that a lease Iras been taken on
on a Granhe quarry in lids vicinity, by two in.
j lerprisiiig mechanics, who intend to prepare it
forthwith for the production of ait lire various
kinds of woik required in iho construction of
stores, houses, wharves, steps, pavement, curia]
locks, siils, caps, &c. &,c. For beauty and dura
hility, this granite is equal to any 1 have seen
used for architectural purposes ; and it is ho fat
superior to the white sand slone or conglomerate,
hitherto u.ed in this city, that no peisi n of any
judgement can hesitate to give it a decided prefer
ence. The prices lam told will he as low as
possible—but I urn sure that every Southern man
who wishes to patronize the mechanic arts at
homo, would give this granite tire preference, even
at a small advance on Northern prices.
The fact of the existence of this granite for
mation so near the oily, has been well known for
many years, and we bavc been sometimes amused
with promises to open the quarries. It rests
now with Messrs. Chipman &. Head and the
public spoil of this city, to render this rock
available as a domestic production and triumph
of Southern enterprise. I),

Trades Usuis. —The newspaper publishers

agreement, pledging themselves,each to ilie uihck
to conduct their business, hereafter entirely onV
the ea.-h principle. All transient advertisements

tions and contracts for advertising by theyiar to
be paid !ir advance This is a trades union of
(he right sort, but they ought to have gone one
step farther, and pledged themselves not to insert
any communication by which the interests of in
dividuals are sought to be pronourued, except us
advertisements—payable in advance. We can
speak advisably on this latter head. Scarcely u
day passes in which we are not courteously invi
ted to bestow a considerable portion of our read ■
ing (.■■during upon very vvtil v. ritien coi»iouin< if
lions, the scope and design of which are simply
to forward the personal views of the writers.
Such communications are pKipe/ly advertisements
—dve make our living, in part, by publishing ad
verlisciiicnls—and it is unreasonable and unjust
to expect that we will publish them fir nothing.
We could lilt our paper, almost any day, with
articles not of our own writing, and of no inter
est to readers in general; most of them being
laudations of various articles of merchandise, by
the sale ol which the writers hope to make a large
prolit, hut from the announcement of which, in
our columns, they are not willing to let us make
a very little one.
Once for all, therefore, wo make hold to Irif’»rti
■ inr friends ill it advertisements must bo paid for,
even when they come in the shape of communi
cations. On matters of public interest we are
always willing to give imurmatiun—and we are
thankful to those who furnish us with the means.

On a day last week, a well dressed genteel look
ing stranger, accompanied by a black servant,
arrived in this city from Norfolk, and pul up at
the City Hotel. Hu called on several slave
dealers, and calling himself Mr. George \V,
King, represented the black servant to he his
slave, and offered him for sale. Some circum
stances exciting suspicion that all was not right,
Messrs. Cook, Zell Kidgely kept their eyes
upon the gentleman, and he finding himself

The Death Warrants
The mist of the morning still hung heavily
on Iho mountain top, above lit village ot Red
cliff, but the toads which led towards it were
crowded with the varied population of the sur
rounding country from far and near. At Ales
bury the shops were closed, the hammer of the
blacksmith laid upon its anvil—not a wagon
ninny de-criptiou vvns to he seen in the sire 1,
and even liio bar o! the tavern Was locked, and
the key gone wilt its proprietor lowgid the
cliff, as a loken of an important era winch wa
withnut a parallel iu the an als ol the place.
And save hero and there a soldary head look
ing through a broken pane in some closed up
house, witli an air of sad disappointment, or
Lie cries of a little nursling was heard, belo
king that in the general flight, it had been left
in unskilful hands, or mayhap here and there
a solitary, ragged and ill-natured dog, either
seeming but half appeased by the privilege 01
a holid-y, granted on condition of slaying at
home, the wind ■ village presented a picture ol
desertion and silence, that had forever been
unknown before.
Butin proportion at you drew ivar the pon
derous c :1s in the m.(lst of winch the liti.e
town of Red dill'was situated, yon mingle ngtrn
in the thick bustle and motion of the world, of
men and women and boys, and horses and
dogs, ami all living, moving and creeping
things, that inhabit the wild districts of I’emi
sylvaiiia.
Tito village was crowded to ovei(lowing,
long before the sun bad ga ned a sufficient al
titude to throw Us rays tip m the deep valley
in which it lay. There the bar of the inn was
crowded, and 11.0 fumes of tobacco and wins
key,the jingling of small change, and the per- j
potual clamor of the throng, was sufficient to
rack a brain of common flexibility. In the
s' reels there was tim greeting of oid and long
parted acquaintance: the harti mi,/ of horses;
the settling of oid accounts ; the buflbonry of
half'intoxicated men; the clatter of women;
: he crying and hallowing of children and boys,
and the lurking anil qmmdlmg of stranger
dogs. To look upon the scene, to mingle with
tho crowd, to heten to the conversation, or to
survey the tonnton.m ;es of the assembled
multi ude, would lend to s u I.factory solution
of the cause for which this mass of heteroge
nous matter was r ongreg tied,

sweetly together and (.haunting the beautiful
hymn:
“h is the laird should I distrust

almost doubled the evidence of his senses, and
stoo l fixed in astonishment at the massy door.
Could these ho the voice of a muidorcr, and a
inur-dcrcr’s wit’s and child
Die brief audio be final interview hud

loudly commended each oilier to the keeping
ol then heavenly parent, and parted—lie, to

II s nain° was John Creel, his place of re

t ik. nup while travelling from the northwaid
to Ins home, and tried and convicted at iho
county town some miles distant, for the mur
der ot a leilow traveller, who had borne Ins
company from the lakes, who was ascertained
to have a largo sum of money with him, and
who was (omul in the room in which he slept,
at a country inn, near Hedcliff with his throat
cut. Creel always had protested his inno
cence, declaring that the deed was perpeira
led hy some one while ho was asleep, hut the
circumstances were against him, and though
the money was not found on him he was sen
fenced to be hung ami was removed to the
old stone jail at iiedcliff lor security, the
county prison being deemed unsafe. Tins
was the day the execution was to lake place;
the scaffold was already erected—tho crowd
pressed uiuiid the building, and frequent ones
of “bring out the in ird' ror,” were li ard.
I he sun at lost told the hour of eleven, and
there could be no more delay—the convict’s
cell was entered by the officers in attendance
who roused linn with (he information that all
was ready without, and b,d him hasten to his
exc eiitiou—they laid hands upon him am] pm
ioned linn tight while ho looked up toward

would do me a great kindness if yon
would dream yoursclfund meoutot this cursed
scrape.” “1 dreamed," replied the convicl,
“that while yon nml the death warrant to me
on the scaffold, a man came through the crowd,
mid stood before us in a giny dre.-s, with a
white hat and wh skers, and ihal a bud flut
tered over Inn, and sung distinctly—this is
Lewis, the niurdeier ot the traveller.”
1 he offi ins and j ulor held a short consul
tation, vyliidi ended in a determination lo look
sharp after the man in grey, with the while
lial—accompanied vviih many hints of resig
nation ol tho prisoner, and the possibility of
Ins innocence being asseited by u siipcrmitu-
I’til agency—the prison doors were c eared,
and Creel, pale and feeble, with it hymn book
in Ins hand, and a mien of all meekness and
liumililV'Wus seen tottering from (lie prison to
tho scatlold. lie had no sooner ascended it
than his eyes began to wander over the vu-l
concourse of p oplo around him, vv.ili a scru
tiny that seemed like faith in dreams—and
while Iho sheriff read warrant, the con
vic’s anxiety appeared lo increase—he looked
and looked again, then raised his hands and
eyes a moment towards the clear sky, ns H
breathing a last, tj tculat on, when lo! us he
resumed his first position, tlm very person he
described, stood within six feet of Ihe luddei!
The prisoiier’seye caught the sight, and ILsh
■ cd with tire while he called out, “there is Lew
is the fmndorer ot the traveller,” and the jailor
at Iho same moment, seized the stranger by
the collar. At first he art mo pled to escape,
hut being secured, and taken heforethe niagis
nates, lio lonlessod the deed, detailed ali'tlie
particulars, delivered up part of the money,
informed where another pun vw h dden, and
was (idly cmninitted for trial—while Creel
was tinned loose, and hastened Mto a man
out ot his senses, from the scaffold,
't hree days had elapsed—Creel fad vanish
ed immediately after h s liberal on, when the
: pretended Lewis astonished and confounded
the magistrate by decl-ir.iig Creel to he In a
husband—that she had assumed the disguise,
■ and performed the whole part hy h s direction;
that, he had g veil ler l ii money which lie had
, till then snece-siully concealed about his ner
! son; and that the whole, trnm the prison to
• the scaffold scene, was a contrivance lo effect
, his escape, which having effected, she was re
. garuless ol consequences. Nothing could i e
done with her; she was again set at liberty
, and neither her nor the husband was beard of
