FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 2. At a Public Meeting of the citizens of Barnwell District, S. C. a few days since resolutions were passed recommending a State Commercial Con vention to be held in Columbia on the sth Decem ber next. Vermont Senator. TUe Hon. Samuel S. Phelps, of Middlobury, has been elected a Senator in Congress l.y tK<. Lb. gislature of the State of Vermont for the term of six years from the fourth of March next, in place of Hon. Benjamin Swift, whose time of service will then expire. Mr. Phelps was chosen by the House of Representatives on the 16th ballot by the follow ing vote:—Phelps 100; Allen 20; Cellogg, (Lo co Foeo) 75. In the Senate, the vote stood for Phelps 14—all others, 11. Mr. Phelps is now one of the assistant Justices of the Supreme Court- Health of Charleston. The Charleston Board of Health report the deaths of twenty-six persons in that city during the week ending 28th inst.—of these 10 were whites and 10 blacks and colored. Seven of the whites by Stranger's Fever. From Florida. We learn by a gentleman from the East, says the Tallahassee Floridian of the 27th, that the In dians have come in at Fort Mellon to the number of more than one hundred, where they are detained preparatory to being sent west. The Indians generally it is believed, have retired east of the Suwannee, as no recent signs have been discover ed by any of the. late scouts. An Indian village has been discovered this side of the Suwannee, supposed to have been occupied within two or three months. There were some half dozen hou ses, well put up for an Indian town, and inhabited, from all appearance, a considerable length of time. We arc told that travellers pass through the na tion in almost every direction unmolested by the hostilcs. A correspondent of the Charleston Courier, Writing from Fort Mellon, (East Florida,) under date 21st ult. says:—“ There arc some Indians at Tampa Bay, apparently at their old policy of en deavoring to delay the movements against them, by pointing out prospects of a general surrender- Gen. Taylor, it is said, believes them to bo sincere, and at the same time carries on his operations as though they were not. If they have the least sin cerity, it is believed that this early re-occupation of the abandoned posts by the 4th Artillery, will oblige, them to make a more unreserved avowal of it. The destruction of Forts, however, and other works, during the past summer, indicates a hostile state of feeling, which will hardly subside, we think, into one for voluntary emigration.” Resumption in Tennessee. Slips from Nashville announce that on the Ist of January next, a full and complete resumption of specie payments will take place on the part of all the Banks of Nashville and their branches. The Liverpool correspondent of the New York Star, mentions that a steamer to New York from Limerick, (Ireland) is to start —to run across in 10 or 12 days. The New York Commercial Advertiser states that a letter from Bristol had been received within a few days, in which is stated that the Great Wes tern Steam Ship Company have determined to in crease their capital from £250,000 to £1,000,000, and have ordered the keels to be immediately laid of four new steam ships, each larger than the Great Western. Mr. Napier, the machine manufacturer at Glas gow, now constructing the machinery of the Brit ish Queen, says, that that splendid vessel will be ready to leave the Clyde in the beginning of De cember. We may therefore expect the British Queen. Capt. Roberts, before New Year’s day.— The Groat. Western is to be laid up in the winter. The proprietors of the British Queen are deter mined to run her all winter—so probably will the Liverpool, expected this week. Lower Canada. The Montreal Courier of Wednesday the 24th, says, yesterday morning His Excellency Sir John Colborne, arrived in town from Sorcl, in the steam er Canada. He took up his residence at the Gov ernment House, and purposes returning to Quebec in a few days, previous to the embarkation of His A Excellency the Earl of Durham. A reward of five hundred pounds, has been offered by the Government for the apprehension of Theller and Dodge, independent of the reward of two hundred and fifty pounds offered by the Officers of the Guards, for the same purpose. We have not heard the result of the military enquiry regarding the escape of the prisoners, but it is evi dent that there has been gross carelessness dis played by the officer on duty at the time. After all, the volunteers arc better guards than the regu lars. Fatal Accident.— On Friday afternoon about 3 o’clock, as the ship Hector was clearing out of the harbor, one of the hands on board, a young man named Henry' Smith, about 18 years of age, fell from the top-gallant yard to the deck and was instantly killed. The Coroner was called to view the body, and the jury rendered a verdict of acci flontal (loot I 1 \ I!• \ . Michigan Wheat anil Flour. The Cleveland Herald of (he 18th says: “Michigan is sending oast her bread stuffs in good earnest. Twelve thousand bushels of wheat were cleared from Toledo early in the week, the produce ol Michigan. The Blade says, daily •shipments of 1' lour by steamboats are made by the forwarders of Toledo. It is estimated that 10,000 barrels of Michigan Flour, and 50,000 bushels of wheat will be shipped from Toledo this Fall.” Indians The St. Joseph Times of the 24th ult. says:— 'Flic Steamer Rodney, arrived yesterday at the De pot) having on board 2(39 of the Indians from Con chatimico and Walker’s Towns, on the Apalach icola. These Indians since the acquisition of Flor ida, have resided on the Apalachicola river, entirely surrounded by the whites. Their position was mutually inconvenient to both parties and their removal highly desired by the inhabitants and the government. They have been paid for their im provements and personal property, and on the day fixed by treaty, they embarded on the Steamboat for their Western home. The Militia and a few regular Troops, had been ordered outto prevent the Indians from dispersing, or committing any depredations. Too much praise cannot be given to Mr. Daniel Boyd, the emigra ting agent, who controlled the movement, for the humanity, energy and despatch, with which this emigration has been conducted. We believe that West Florida now, is free from the presence of an Indian. It will be seen by the annexed extract from an official letter, that the objects of the late proposed general council of Indians on our Western fron tier, are declared to have been entirely of a peace ful character. Extract from a letter from Montfort Stokes, Agent for the Cherokee nation, to the War Depart ment, dated •‘Fout Grnsox, Sept. 25, 1838. “ Colonel Logan, the Creek Agent, General Arbuckle and myself, have just returned from a general council of Indians, called by the Chcro kces. “We were particularly requested to attend this council in consequence of a publication in the Nashville Banner, in which Colonel Mason, of the Ist Regiment of Dragoons, informs General Gaines that the Cherokces west had invited all the ted people west of the Mississippi, in order to form a hostile association of the red people, to make a simultaneous attack upon Missouri and Arkansas. There were ten nations represented in the council. We listened to all their talks, and there is not the least foundation for the alarm created in the mind of Colonel Mason. I myself wrote the messages of invitation from the Cherokces, and there was not one word of hostile feeling, nor any war token scut.” Notes of the Monster more convenient than Specie. The following precious confession, to the effect, that in some cases the notes of the United States Bank arc more convenient than specie—a matter of fact, by the way—is from the pen of an officer high in favor with the General Government: “ Pm/master General's Office, ) “ Washington, (Jet. Bth 1838. 5 “ Sir—Arrangements having been made with the United Stales Bunk to pay the Treasurer’s drafts to a certain amount at different places, and it being probable the notes of the Bank will be, as acceptable to claimants, and in some, cases jioiu; coxvF.jrir.NT than specie, you will, should you receive drafts on that Bank or its agents, make as many of your payments by check as you can, which will give the receiver the option of taking paper or specie ; and the department has no objec tion to your using the paper of that Bank in all your payments, so far as it can be done legally'. “ Respectfully, your ob’t. serv’t. “N. TOW HON, I*. M. G.” From the Savannah Georgian. COMMUNICATION WITH THE NORTH. The following from the Georgetown (S. C.) Union, of Saturday last, discloses a project, winch will ere long, bo carried forward. The increasing importance of a rapid intercourse between Savan nah and the north, will soon render desirable to our community and transient visitors, a daily steam communication between Charleston and Savannah, either by land or water. The latter has already been started by our enterprizing citizens. We do not deem it visionary to prophecy, that a rail-road hence to Charleston, will, before two years elapse, be designed. Such is the march of mind, at the present day, and such the anxiety to annihilate space. GEORGETOWN, (S. C.) Oct. 27. Rail Road from Wilmixcitox toCuaiu.es tox, via Geougktowx.—We have read an arti cle or two in the Charleston Patriot on this subject, with the views of which we entirely concur. We are perfectly sure that a rail road may be construct ed on the route contemplated for as little, and per haps less, money than in any other part of the U. States. The face of the country is a perfect level, and materials of the best kind arc on the spot, and in great abundance. To the early completion of such a road, little more would be necessary than to make a beginning. Let the thing be taken in hand energetically and at mice, and every appa rent difficulty will vanish. The benefits of such a road to the section of country through which it wmuld pass, are too self-evident to be enlarged upon. With a view of concerting measures and bring ing about some systematic effort in relation to the matter, we would respectfully recommend that meetings bo held in Charleston, Georgetown, and Wilmington, preliminary' to the formation of a company, and the adoption of such means as may be deemed necessary to the success of the enter prise. Would not the town authorities be promoting the interests of their constitueats by making a move in this business 1 We respectfully recom mend it to their consideration. SAn £*ui p w a sc k.—Messrs. T opliffs have receiv ed a letter from Halifax, giving further particulars respecting the loss of a ship on Burnt Island, some weeks since, which leaves no doubt of its being the Augnsta, Doane, hence for Labrador, to load lor the Mediterranean, and that all her crew perished. Many pieces of the wreck and some portions of the cargo, with papers and a trunk belonging to Capt. | Doane, had been saved by a fisherman and his 1 f imiltt vnr.i.lniit r.n 41. . . T II 17/ >• T 1I f From the Philadelphia Enquirer, The Frauds. THE ELECTION AND THE LEGISLATURE* The imlopemlont presses of the interior continue to agitate the subject of the recent election, ami to . point out the various frauds that have been com mitted in their respective neighborhoods. The opinion seems nearly universal, that the result, so • tar ns relates to the Governor, has been brought about by illegal votes, and we doubt not, should an investigation take place, that these trauds will l>e made fully palpable, to the extent of triple the ma jority said to have been received by General Porter. It is quite possible that, had but one nr two instan ces of foul play been detected, the people would have remained content, and the proposition to in vestigate the matter would have been forgotten in a fortnight. Tnc high-handed outrage perpetrated under the auspices of Mr. Charles ,1. Ingersoll, was the first to awaken public attention and public indignation to the subject, and followed up, ns it was, by a course of conduct equally disreputable on the part of the Loco Foco Judges of two of the Senatorial Districts of the interior, we incline to the opinion that nothing will fully satisfy the hon est and intelligent voters of the Commonwealth, but a fair, full, and thorough investigation. The question is one of graver and higher importance than the election of any particular individual to the Gubernatorial chair. It is a question of right and republicanism, and may be said to involve all that is valuable,in a political sense, to the freemen ol Pennsylvania. If they permit themselves to be defrauded and cheated with impunity on the present occasion, they may bid adieu to every thing like fair play for the future, and the elective fran chise, so far as this Commonwealth is concerned, will become a mock and a by-word throughout the land. That there has been fraud, gross and palpa ble fraud, and to an extent sufficient to change the result, cannot and will not be denied. This fraud, morever, has not been confined to the election day, but hold and abandoned attempts have been made by defeated candidates—candidates who were shown to be in a minority—to force themselves into power and place by means as profligate as ever disgraced any age or country. Under all the circumstances of the case, therefore, an investiga tion appears to us to be absolutely necessary. Such a course is due alike to those who participated in the struggle, to the candidates themselves, and to the character of the Keystone State. Indeed, such a measure seems absolutely inevitable; for how can the conflicting claims of the members from Philadelphia county, and the Senators from Huntingdon, Union,Mifflin, Juniata, Perry, Ches ter, Delaware, and Montgomery, be adjudicated otherwise ? True, it is as clear as the sun at noon day, that the Whig Senators from the counties last named were fairly elected, and by a majority of the votes of the people. The Loco Foco Judges decided otherwise, however, and upon their beads be the responsibility of such a course. Another (act is important. Governor Ritncr received at least ten thousand voles more than his most san guine friends believed sufficient to elect him prior to the contest. Nay, we believe that he has re ceived a majority to that extent of the legal votes polled throughout the Commonwealth. Allowing lor the increase of population, and for all the other circumstances calculated to swell the general vote, it is f lic opinion of reasonable men, f ully acquaint ed with the character of Pennsylvania, that a frau dulent vote, to the extent ol' 10,tH)() or 2U,uuu, must have been polled. Is this system to be per mitted? Arc the rights of the people thus to be trampled down and violated with impunity ? Heaven forefend! An investigation, we again say, is absolutely essential, ns well as for the correction and exposure of the past, as for providing for the future against the atrocious system by which our ■State has been disgraced, and the rights of our ci tizens violated. Wc invite the attention to the following article upon the subject from the Gettys burg Star: THE LATE ELECTIONS THE FHAUHS AND FALSE nuTfiiNs or the loco rocos. The late Governor’s election has been conducted by the friends of Porter, with a bitterness and restlessness unparalleled even in the warfare of those unprincipled politicians! Not only have they dealt in the most unblushing falsehoods.and shameless calumnies, but at the polls, and in the counting olf the tickets, and making out the re turns, frauds are believed, by judicious and inquir ing men, to have been committed to an amount exceeding 10,000 votes! This may seem incredi ble to those of our readers who have not been in formed of the villainous mode pursued by the Loco Foco party heretofore in the County of Phi ladelphia, and this year, extended into every County where they had large majorities. For the last ten years in the County of Phila delphia, the votes returned have borne no resem blance to the votes actually polled! The Inspec tors and Judges being secured, the tickets are poll ed before the day of election, and when they count olf, the spurious box is substituted for the genuine 1 one! Tickets, with names to correspond, are added far beyond those actually polled! Such this year I is known to have been the case in the County of Philadelphia, especially in Kensington, making a ’ difference against Mr. Ritner, of about 2,000 votes ! That corrupt system, long practised in Philadel phia county, has this year been put in successful operation in Berks and almost all their strong coun sies. In many of them where the instruments wore bunglers, they have not been able to add ] through the whole ticket, but have added only the ; Governor’s tickets. In several counties, the vote returned for Governor, is from 300 to 500 more than for the other parts of the ticket! This is ' conclusive evidence of fraud. In other counties, [ more votes have been returned than there are taxa . hies! A thing impossible to be honestly done, except where Public Works arc in progress. The ' votes actually polled heretofore have usually been 1 about two-thirds ns many as the taxables in the Stale. It is believed that 30,000 more votes over 1 1835, arc this year relumed than the true increase l of voters. In the County of Philadelphia, the Porter re turn judges excluded the whole, of the N. Liber ties, which gave Mr. Ritner about 2,500 votes.— ' In H untingdon county, they struck out Morris township, which gave him about GOO majority. In Lycoming county, they rejected Youngomans -1 town district, which gave him about 550 majority. More than 1,500 fraudulent votes can be proved in Berks, and in other counties enough to reduce Mr. Porter, into the minority, and, conclusively .show 1 I that the whale election has been so hunted with 1 ! fraud as to render it an act of justice to the pea 'i pie to declare it void. The Elective Franchise is I a mockery, if such things are permitted to pass j unexamined. Honest men had better stay away • | from the polls, and let the gamblers have it all > their own way, unless such villany be prosecuted ! j and corrected. ■ ] In returning the Senators elect, the Portei • i Judges in Philadelphia county, refused to count . tho votes of the Northern Liberties, so as to return ; | Ingersoll, to Congress, and their county ticket.

A Legend of Louisiana. AV o copy the following interesting legend from the Eaton Rouge Gazette: * * * * Aud the Canadian boatmen, with measured stop, propelled the boat with their slen der poles keeping lime to the sad ami melancholy strain. The harmonious songs prolonged and re peated by the echoes of both shores, had something wild ami solemn, in harmony with tho impression produced by the sight of an immense river that Hows solitary and majestic amidsta world of forests. We glided with rapidity nlonglhe foot of several hills that approach'd and receded from the left shore of the Mississippi, as if a wayward being had eaprieiously presided at their creation. Suddenly the Patroon, with an ominous voice cried out, silence! we nro approaching Eaton Rouge. And, as if a terrible, imminent danger had suddenly hurst upon their sight, the boatmen in silence lightly walked along the edge of the boat, md with redoubled efforts endeavored to in crease our speed: while with precaution, they raised their poles perpendicularly, so as td make no none. The Patroon took the helm in hand, and direetei onr course from the shore. iSoon we per ceived Ihe entrance of a bayou that loses itself be tween Iwo hills, overshaded with branching oaks, lofty e ms, and the Tupuhi, with its rounded leaves. At I lie entrance of the bayou appeared a small mourn of grey sand, from the summit of which rose, like a threatening spectre, a post stained with a dark rod color. The sight of it sickened me. I felt as if some frightful, horrible mystery was hidden inder lids repulsive color, which acted like an electro shock upon my nerves. This, ihid the Patroon; is the red stick, {la baton rouge.) Well,what meant this post 1 Why do you turn pale wide looking at if. Listei: Last summer the keel boat Bienville left For, Duqucsne, where Hows the beautiful Ohio, to convty to Biloxi an officer and his family, who was recalled to France. Tho passage was fortu nate till the entrance of this bayou, whose shady banks invited tho passengers, benumbed by a long stay in an incommodious boat, to go ashore to take . exercise. The officer, his lady, mid their two chil dren were of the number. They advanced leis urely along the shady and silent bank of the bayou. One of the children, a young girl aged about twelve years, wandered from her parents and ' climbed the hill which yon perceive on your right, and suddenly screamed—tho Indians !—they are r dragging me away. The unfortunate father ran towards his daughter, hut scarcely, had he appeared ’ on the summit ore lie fell pierced with twenty nr ’ rows. Fly! cried lie to his wife, fly ! but the af fectionate mother, rendered motionless from grief, ' could only press lioryoung son to her heart, and faintly mumicred, save my children! Tho feeble sounda/liw 1 “'"“Y-l“P ’iT'.i *’ ini*” me Indian s practiced car find caught them. Ihe murderous arrow, fortunately, perhaps ended tho sorrows and the life of the mother and iier boy. Immediately after the Indians appeared at the entrance of the bayou, their numbers, their terrible aspect, their shout and war-whoop, intimidated the crew of the boat, which put off from shore alter firing a few ineffectual shots. There, in sight of the boat, the ferocious savages stripped the hark from a young elm, and dipping their hands in the reeking breasts of their victims, besmeared it with blood, and planted it on tho hank of the river, to warn the French who might approach the fatal spot, to begone, or death awaited them. John Randolph.— We do not recollect ever to . have seen some of the following specimens of the retorts and odd sayings of John Randolph, in print. Whether they have been published or not, we pretend not to decide. We think our readers, however, will not complain at their reproduction. A friend has furnished a portion of them from memory. 1. Having made a most ferocious attack one. morning on a colleague, Mr. John Love of Vir ginia, the latter took occasion in the afternoon to administer in return, a severe castigation to Ran dolph. 'The, (ire at last become too warm for the mercurial temperament of John, when seizing his hat he paraded up the aisle of the House, exclaim ing-—“1 have heard of people being love sick, but I am really sick of Love !” SJ. A few days before Ids death, in conversation t, with a gentleman of Philadelphia, lie predicted , that the United States were on the eve of some | tremendous internal disaster. “General Jackson, r sir,” said ho, “is only a political poullicc —when (■ it becomes dry, the sore will break out.” i 3. General Smith, of Maryland, late Mayor of > Baltimore, happened to say in Congress that he was “a matter of fact man,” Ran-' Ipn observed, “I ■ know that sir, for when tlic gentleman has nut got I a fact he makes one. 4. During the delivery of one of Ids harangues s in the House of Representatives, a member silting I opposite to him, shook ids head as an indication of o his dissent from some monstrous proposition ad e vaneed by Randolph. “The gentleman,” said c John, “shakes his head hut there is nothing in s that 1 i, 5. Speaking of two distinguished Virginians, i- (brothers) Mr. Randolph said, “One sir, isalwai. splitting hairs, and the other can’t hit a barn door.” e 0. After Mr. Monroe, receding from his opposi a tion to President Madison, look office under that c gentleman, Mr. Randolph, who hie; encouraged r Mr. Monroe to become a competitor of Mr. Madi e son for the Presidency, and had organised a party for him, deeply resented the defection of bis chief. - Mr. Monroe one day made a good natured remark about Mr. Randolph’s dotr—“Say nothing of my - dog, sir, dogs arc faith fut, but men, Colonel, men s are fuitb/m.” a 7. “Governor P is too heavy for the turf. i- and too light for the draft.” 8.

At an electioneering contest, Mr. Ihcnumer h ated some families in Virginia whose hereditary i- patriotism was remarkable.

A member of tlio H. of Representatives who f "; ls constantly in tii* habit of railing for the l‘re- \ riim.i Question, was also remarkable for saying n nothing else. Mr. R. compared him to the Dutch- l man s clock, which eternally sang “cuckoo—cue- 1; koo.” v 1~. Alter Congress had authorized President ( Madison to repeal by proclamation, during their recess, the non-intercourse laws of the United States as to France, should she repeal her Merlin and Milan decrees and ns to England, should she 11 repeal her orders in council; Honaparte nominally 11 repealed his decrees and the Presidentaccordingly, *' proclaimed that the embargo laws were no longer ■' in force as to France. Mr. U, was reminded, he 11 said, by these circumstances of a convivial society in Richmond, to which he had belonged when a young man. This club having fallen into the practice ol drinking too much wine, agreed to I 1 drink no more till if should rain. An unexpected 1 drought ensued, which seemed like never to ter- H minute. The club was in dismay, till at length a 11 member proposed a resolution, which was nnani- c monslv passed, in these words—“ Unsolved that it does rain. It). Mr. and Mr. , members es r the House ol Representative, each vehemently as- ( sailed Mr. Randolph n speeches on the lloor of | that house, sparing no bitterness of invective, nor extreme ol personality. When he rose to reply, each look a seat by his side, to show complete fearlessness of his expeeted retort. To the sur- * prise ol every one, he spoke to Ihe question before ' the House for an hour or two without alluding to v either ot his antagonists. The gallery was chop fallen. He finished his speech, and hud almost gained his seat, when suddenly he rose and said, •’ on will observe, Mr. Speaker, that I have kept 1 the main road ot the question, without deviating to the right or to the hj'l , in search of game that .1 would not reward the Hunter's toil.” 1 ( Kccipo lor Curing I‘ork and Hams. ‘ i As soon as the pork hceomescool I cut and sort it, taking irreat care to have the tubs perfectly sweet and clean. In cutting I take all the spare ' riba, and make pickled pork of all the sides he- 1 tween the ham and the shoulders: cutting it into * pieces of suitable size for family use. I trim the hams and shoulders well. I cover the bottom of the tub with rock salt and then put iu the layer of pork, nicely packed; then cover this layer with salt, and so on, until the tub is filled. I use rock salt and very bountifully. In six or eight days make a pickle of salt and cold water, as strong as possible, and cover the pork previously salted with it. It will then keep for use for years if you choose. In preparing the. hams and shoulders, I weigh several, to come at the probable weight of the whole. They arc packed with great care, in sui -1 table tubs. My process is to sprinkle sonic coarse , salt at the bottom; then pack in the bams and ! shoulders firmly, side by side, being careful not to i put the back of one flat on the top of another. 1 The spaces are, filled up with chines, hocks, and - jowls. To about every 300 weight of moat I take - thirty pounds of rock salt, one pound of saltpetre, ■ and fourteen pounds brown sugar, or half a gallon 1 of good molasses, (generally the latter.) Take I as niueli pure water as will cover the meat, put il ’ moving the scum as it rises, and when no more i rises, set it to cool, after which pour it on the meat until it is covered 3 or 4 inches. , If the hams arc small, weighing from 13 to 115 , lbs. let them remain in the pickle five weeks—if from 15 to 35, six weeks—if from 25 to 45, seven weeks. When you remove them for the purpose • of smoking, put them in clean, cold water for two or three hours. If there is too much salt or salt petre adhering to the surface of the hums, the water will take it off. The smoke should he of clean green hickory. A fire should be built only in dry weather. And when the meat Ims acquired a yel low tinge, not red or black, they are removed, and hung up in a dark place where they arc not dis turbed by flies or vermin.— Farmer's Cabinet. Havia Comfort. A Vi I.l.A lvors Ginfo wdf.ii Plot.—The in dignation of our citizens his been considerably excited by the discovery of a piece of mean and shameful treachery in a Northern merchant, which has fortunately been delected, or il might have sa crificed hundreds of lives. The alfair, as we heard it, is substantially the same us related in the i Comer, as follows: “If we required any thing to prove how far the North loves the Houth, we might cite the follow * ing facts. Sending covertly more than a ton ot, ‘ gunpowder, without a word or a hint ol caution, exposed to accidents by lightning, and the careless use of fire in its vicinity, is a trail, so black and i unwarrantable, that we arc at .< loss to express onr feelings. Hbip Superior, Cap), Win. Dttrrotvy, from New ’ York, received on hoard, at that city, six hogsheads 1 of gunpowder, containing 34 kegs of 35 pounds each.

The attordey of the corporation lias received in '* structions to take such legal steps ns the exigency ‘ of the case may call for. We have to add, that this powder was destined for the upper country, and il was intended that il should be conveyed on board of a steamboat, prob ably without saving s word to the captain about o the dangerous character of the shipment.—A.
