WEDNESDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 10.
Nearly a week of the most valuable timed both
Houses of our Legislature has been spent in en
lightening the world or upon banking and cur
rency, by the (1 i cuss ion ot the Sub-1 reasury res
olutions, of which there were at least a dozen dis
tinct sets introduced. We are happy to an
nounce that one branch of that body has finally
acted and passed the resolutions ot Col. Howard,
of Muscogee, with some amendments. It weea.i
only got a full and ample report ot all the speech
es delivered and utidolivend, and all the in.iqnifi.
een ideas engendered in the brains ol members,
too big for utterance, we shall he able to make a
publication in an abridged form, ol about for
ty-five volumes, which will be the text hook
of all bankers, merchants, financiers, political
economists and tradesmen to the end ot
time ! All other works upon the subject, wib
become obsolete, and such small try as Gallatin
Crawford, Dallas, Calhoun, Clay, Webster, tl iit
omne genus, \\W be forgotten, or if remembered
f only to be laughed at for their supreme stupidity
and ignorance! This vexed question of the curren
cy which bothered and puzzled these men all their
lives, has been settled in less than a week by the
sages of the Georgia Legislature! Think of
that!! Congress cun adjourn now, and go home,
there is no longer any use for such a set of drones
—Our legislature has done the business for them
and the financial machinery of the Government
will work well in future! Laus deo, what a sa
ving there will ba to the country, by this final set
tlement of that perplexing question!
The following is from the Recorder, of yester.
day.—We will give the resolutions hereafter
as passed, together with the yeas and nays.
Resolutions on the Sub-Treasury, introduced by
Mr. Howard, of Muscogee, on Friday last, were
passed on Saturday night, by a majority of 21
votes. They are very similar to those before in
troduced by that gentleman, with some additions
and modifications. We have not room for them
I this week, we will give them to our readers in
I our next.”
Hamburg.
Bv a statement transmitted to Mr. Shultz, Tn
tendant of Hamburg, by the Cleik of the Council
it appears that the value of the real estate of that
flourishing place, is §286,595 00. This property
was estimated by the Court of Equity of Edge
field District in 1821 at only §7OOO.
Thu Theatre.
We learn that the Theatre in this city will bo
opened for the season, on Monday evening, the
24th- inst., by Mr. Abbott.
The Crops—Colton.
A gentleman who has travelled through the
whole of the up country, informs the Editor op
the Darien Telegraph, that the corn crop, and
crop of small grain is very deficient. The cotton
% iS at least twenty-five per cent, less in amount than
I last/ear. Planters who made 400 bags of upland
1 last year, will not make more than 100; and some
Sr expect to make little more than seed. The early
’ frost has been very destructive indeed. This in-
I formation, the Editor says, may be relied on.
benjamin F. Butler, Esq., on the 12th inst.,
assumed the duties of the ollice to which he has
just been appointed by the President, and took
the requisite oath before Judge Betts.
Abolishment of the Express Mail.
The Charleston Courier states that an arrange
ment is in embryo, by which the great northern
mail will be received via Wilmington—the Wil
mington and Halifax Company having made such
arrangements as to be enabled to run a daily line
' of boats between Wilmington and Charleston,
thereby anticipating and rendering unnecessary
- the continuance ofthe express mail from the north.
On inquiry we are led to believe that nothing bu
a failure to make a contract with the Charleston
and Hamburg Rail Road company, will prevent
this route being adopted within a short period,
and we most earnestly hope that this object may
he accomplished.
The Milledgcville Recorder of yesterday, says
o,j Friday, the House ro-considered so much of
the journals of the day before, us relates to the re.
jection of the bill for the relief of the citizens o.
Stewart, for losses sustained by the Indiana; also
the bill to authorize the sale of State Scrip, fo r
the completion of the State Railroad ; likewise i t
J reconsidered its action of the day before on the
I College bill, by which those sections of an act in
■ relation thereto, granting an annuity of §G000 (
V was repealed. These measures have therefore
Myvt ’/o be acted.”
I 'k new Patent Rule, Baxley's Water »
Proof Rifle. —Wo have seen a Rific invented
K by Mr. Payley of Portland, (Me.) which when
f loaded admi sos 15 distinct discharges. The load
k: »ng takes ph.c ■ in the breech of the gun, through
B a cvlindri. al conducting tube, passing into a ro
reiving chamber, and in the tube are 16 sliding
■ chambers loaded with powder and bull. In the
I rp ceivlng chambers the lock acts upon the sliding
■ chambers striking through, with the greatest pre-
I i issiou and perfect safety. The lock is of a very
■ simple construction ou the guard of the gun, more ■
1
simple, and not more cumbersome than in a co i -
man gun. The rifle we have seen is a beautiful
one:—and though not much versed in these mat
ters, yet vve feel at liberty to say that whoever
wants to do killing by the platoon, or gunning by
the flock, cannot find, at least as we think, any
instrument so wonderfully adapted to their pur
\pose.—N. V. Express. /
From Camilla.
The New York Herald of the 13th, contains
the following additional intelligence to that pub
lished in our paper a Jay or two since, in relation
to the recent operations of the Patriots on the Ca
nada frontier.
Highly important lioin the Frontier—A
Iresh outbreak—The Patriots again in
motion.
By last evening's mail wo received the sub
joined important particulars of fresh Patriot move
ments. They have, it appears, recommenced
operations at a remote point. Several skirmish
es between the Patriots a id the British troops
have proved favorable to the former. To those
who are acquainted with the locality it will be
seen that by obtaining possession of the. points
west of Tilbury, the Patriots can run a line from
Lake St. Clair to Lake Erie, through Kent Coun
ty, and thus keep the regulars at bay tor a long
time, or until they push further into the heart of
Canada.
These fresh movements of the Patriots will
have a material elfect on the sentence ofthe pris
oners in .Montreal and Kingston.
Patiii ot News from the West.— Tur.
8..0w Struck. —The steamboat Wisconsin,
Capt. Power, arrived from Cleveland this morn
in brings us the following important intelli
gence.
The Patriots amounting to one hundred, cross
ed over the Detroit River, to Sandwich, burned
that village to the ground, and the British steam
boat Thames; were joined by two companies of
the Royal Militia, and are now on the march
through the London District ! where it is expect
ed they will be joined by several thousands of
Patriots 1
In a skirmish with the Queen’s troops, several
of the latter were killed ; we cannot learn how
many.
Tbo gentleman who brings the information
stood upon the wharf at Detroit, and saw Sand
wich and the steamer in flames.
The blow is struck and wc shall see different
work from what wc have yet had in either Pro
vince.— Buffalo Daily Mercury,Hilt inst.
We give this rumor just as it comes to us, al
the same time expressing some little doubt of its
entire correctness. It may be, and very probably
is true, that a hostile incursion has been made
from our territory, a few houses plundered and
burnt, and sonic shots been exchanged between
the marauders and the inhabitants. But that
any successful stand has been made, on the Brit
ish territory, or any serious “rising” taken place,
we can sec no reason for crediting. The outra
geous exaggerations of the warlike doings of last
winter, in that quarter, do not particularly incline
us to be over credulous and hasty in believing the
“nCWs” Which CRM. from tl.ot direction.
Wince the above was in type, wc have received
the Cleveland Daily Herald A Gazette, of Thurs
day, which is filled witli rumors &r. which indi
cate the absurdity of the prevalent report.—Buf
fi to Advertiser, Dec. 8.
Intelligence came this evening by (he way bill
from Detroit, that the Patriots have possession of
Malden. They took it with immense slaughter
on both sides. The Patriots took 175 prisoners.
A report was current at Sandwich yesterday
that a number of Patriots were in the woods iii
the London District, preparing for an attack. An
express from London for Malden passed on Mon
day.
Ten pieces of mounted cannon, chiefly 24
pounders, with a large quantity of military stores
in rived at Malden on Friday last,— Cleveland
Herald Dec. 6.
Military Movement.—The steamboat Con
stitution arrived from Buffalo to-day, with a com
pany of United States troops. We have not
learned their destination—probably Detroit.
Gen. Scott arrived in the Columbus stage last
night and took lodgings at the American.
We understand Gen. Scott will repair to De
troit, when he leaves tbo city,— Sandwich H raid.

What reliance is to be placed upon this news
of course we know not. There has doubtless
been some movement, because Theller is in the
neighborhood, but wc doubt the occur any of all
the extracts given above.
In addition we have the following from Lower
Canada. The following is the statement of Van
Shultz, the brigand leader:—
The statement was read, and was in substance
that the prisoner is a native of Poland, aged 31,
and his father was a Major in the Polish army at
the battle of Warsaw. The prisoner also rose to
be major in the Polish service. In 1836 became
tj the United .States and settled at Sulina, as a
chymist. Was induced to join the “Hunters”
or “ Patriot Masons” by Mr. Stone of Sulina who
also presented him with the flag that was taken
at the Mill. He was told that the people ol
Canada would receive them with open arms, and
that even the British regulars would join them on
their landing. Trusting to these representations
he embarked with others in the United States al
Oswego, took the two schooners in tow laden with
men, three cannon and munitions of war, was
baffled in the attempt to land at Prescott, but
finally landed at the Windmill with one hundred
and eighty men. Ho soon discovered how he
had been deceived, as no aid come to them, nor
did any one join them. But as ho had no means
ol returning to the States, he strengthened his
position as tar as possible, and made the best de
fence he could.
They are all quarrelling about which ought to
be hanged first. The Montreal Herald says:
“We would recommend that the Scotchmen
should have precedence in being hanged, us a
Scotch rebel is, out and out, the greatest black
guard the world can produce.”
Here is the national classification of the, pris
oners at Prescott.
131 Americans, 1 Scotchman,
9 Germans, Poles, 4 Upper Canadians,
and French, 3 Irishmen,
9 Lower Canadians, 1 Englishman.
Ix in as MODE of Lynching— Horrid Scene.
We learn from the Wisconsin Democrat of Nov.
13th, that after the payment of the Menomonecs
at Grand Chute, an Indian (no doubt intoxicated)
entered a wigwam to murder his brother, who
however escaped, leaving his squaw, who was im
mediately stabbed to death by ihe infuriated sav

in binding him hand an 1 foot, but surrendered
him to Ids tribe, who fell upon him with their

him on the spot, then threw him on a fire and

Anti-slavery Convention.
The friends of Immediate Emancipation in Fair
field county, are invited to meet in Convention
on the 12th December next, at 10 o’clock, A. M.
at the Baptist Meeting House in Redding, (George
town) ou the Turnpike from Norwalk to Danbu
ry. It is ofthe utmost importance for the cause
in this County and State, that a full delegation be
present from every Local Anti-Slavery Society,
and Town, where no such society exists in this
county. It is expected that Judge Uirney, 11. B.
Stanton, Rev. Goo, Stores, from N. York, and
Rev. Nathaniel Colvcr, will come from the State
Convention, to be huldcu at Middletown on the
sth inst. and be present to address the meeting.
N. B. Let nothing prevent a full delegation
ofthe friends from every town in the County.

Fruits of A hulition —.1 Church blown up.
The Stamford (Connecticut) Sentinel says (hut
ou Wednesday evening last the Baptist Meeting
House, in Redding, in this county, was blown up
by a gang of “Joe King’s” men, to prevent the
Rev. Mr. Colvcr from lecturing on abolition in it,
A keg of powder was placed in the centre of the
building, and fire communicated to it by a slow
match. The pulpit was entirely destroyed, and
the House shattered in such a manner as to ren
der it untenantable, until it shall have been re
built. This is altogether a new method of put
ting down tree discussion. It is what neighbor
[chabod would call a “blow-up argument.”

Our accounts by the Susquehanna Rail road
cars are that every thing was quiet at Harrisburg
throughout Wednesday. A part of the volunteer
force which had marched to Harrisburg hail been
ordered home by the Governor, their presence be
ing deemed no longer necessary.
One account states that one half of the volun
teer force had been dismissed, and that the Gov
ernor had drawn on the State Treasurer for >SOOO
to defray their expenses, which the Treasurer had
refused to pay.
The senate and two houses of representatives
sat on Wednesday, but we have as yet, no account
of their proceedings.
OOVKHNOII’s ELECTION.
The official canvass ol the votes for Governor
took place at the capitol on Wednesday, and the
result was declared to be as follows:
Aggregate vote for Porter, 127,831
do do Kitner, 122,325
Majority for Porter, 5,500

In the Senate, on Wednesday, a resolution was 1
offered, proposing that the Bonnie proceed to nom
inate candidates for the office of U. S. Senator,
and that a teller lie appointed on tile part of the
Senate. The motion to give the resolution a se
cond reading was decided in the negative.
A committee ofthe Van Burcn division of the
House subsequently appeared in the Senate, unit
announced its readiness to proceed in the election
of a U. S. Senator, but the Senate had already
decided, as slated above, not to go into the election.
At the hour of 11 o’clock, A. M., the Speaker
ol the Senate proceeded in the presence of the
members of the Senate and House of Representa
tives, to read the election returns from the sever
al counties for Governor, the result of which is
given in the paragraph above, on that subject.
After the business of counting' the voles for
Governor was completed, the Houses separated,
and the Senate proceeded to consider the resolu
tion ou the subject of the contested election in
the Bth Senatorial district.
An amendment was otlered by Mr. Bell, and
advocated by him. Mr. Pearson spoke against
the amendment and in favor ofthe original reso
lution, and finally the amendment was rejected
and the resolution adopted.
In the Van Huron division of the House, Mr.
McElwee, from the committee appointed to in
quire into the cause of the presence of an armed
■force, made a report which was afterwards with
drawn.

UNITED STATES SENATE.
Mr. Wright, as chairman of the committee of
Finance, this morning introduced the important
proposition to postpone the payment of the fourth
instalment of the surplus revenue. The post
ponement was intended to be indefinite.
Mr. Ulay, with some few remarks, moved to
amend Mr. Wright’s proposition by limiting the
postponement to the first of January 1840, when
the money should be paid, unless a postponement
was made to a day beyond.
After a long debate upon the subject, the .Senate
adjourned, without coming to any conclusion.

As soon as the Journal was read, Mr. Kennedy
declined asking the suspension of the rules upon
his resolution offered yesterday.
Several members endeavored to get the floor,
but were not able,
Mr. Adams offered the following resolution,
which the House declining to receive, he moved
a suspension of the rules, and asked for the yeas
and nays, which were ordered. The following is
a copy of the resolution :
Resolved, That the powers of the House being

no resolution can add to or deduct from that, power.

Mr. Calhoun, of Kentucky, a ked leave to of
fer two resolutions upon the subject of Slavery of
a practical character, and not, lie said, upon the
abstract propositions which had been considered.
The House refused to receive his resolutions.
Mr. Wise inked leave to offer several resolutions
upon the subject of Slavery, which were read. He
said he offered them as expressing the opinions of
himself and some of his colleagues. He hoped
ll c House would receive them and he pledged ;
himself not to deb? e them if they were received. [

Senator Benton ami Guv. Bunns. — The
Louisville Journal ofthe sth instant says:—
“We perceive, by the Ht. Louis Republican of
I hursduy, that Col. Benton, under pretence of
returning thanks to the Missouri Legislature for
his re-election to the office of Senator, has writ
ten a teller of instructions to that body. This
letter, in nearly all its parts, is in direct opposi
lion to the message of Gov. Boggs; and the evi
dent intention of it is to prevent the Legislature
irom adopting His Excellency’s suggestions.—
The Senator says he regrets from the bottom ot
his boar! that he cannot be a member of the Mis
sion Legislature during the present session, in
order to aid in curing the evils of the Banking
system, lie advises the passage of a law, that
no Bank in Missouri shall lie allowed to issue
notes ol a denomination less than one hundred
dollars, and that the Bank notes of all oilier states
shall he excluded from Misson i, without regard
to their am unit, or the place from which they
come!
Suck are the preposterous vagaries of the finan
cial gad ol the present administration.”
New Printing Press.— There is no end to
American skill and science ; lor, no soanerhas one
great improvement been made, than another fol
lows. It was a roma.k of a man of distinguished
scientific attainments at Washington, Mr. Jones,
alter having observed the ninny astonishing im
provements made in printing presses, and the high
stale of perfection to which they had been curried,
t hat ho never expo, ted “t) sec the press improved,”
The same gentleman we have been told alter wit
nessing the operation ofthe new press, invented by
Mess s Win. and Tiios.Hehncbly of Hagerstown,
Maryland, exclaimed— ‘ I will never again say
that any piece of machinery is so perfect that it
may not lie improved.”
'J his press is now set up at the new and extensive
machine shop of Messrs, Merrick St Towns, in
Southwark. It is a very simple machine perhaps
we should say its most remarkable feature as its
simplicity, which we should think would make it
extremely easy to keep in repair.
The power is applied through the medium of
an endless screw and the lever. A small cog
wheel unites with the screw, which is turned by
a man with great case.
There are two eylimlars either side of the phi
tin. These, revolve at intervals adapting them
selves to the movements of the press. The sheet
is fed over one ofthe cylinders, and by a reverse
rotatory motion produced Ly a very ingenious
®P r ing, the sheet is immediately after receiving its
impression, brought back und' deposited beneath
the cylinder over which it has passed under the
platin.
'Flic lied is arranged entirely upon a new prin
ciple, viz:—it is inserted-ou the side, and may be
instantly removed with the form upon it at plea
sure.
This press is calculated we are told, to print
twenty-live sheets, per minute : and may be af
forded al §BO, a price much less than any power
press of equal rapidity.
We expect 0/ see more of its operations, and
shall take another occasion to speak of it, us we
may think. —Philadelphia Herald.
The Sun-Tit easury admitted to h>; im

tempt to mystify the matter us they please—but
the fact cannot lie denied nor mistaken that the
Government’s arrangements withllic Bank ofthe
United Slate, as announced by tbo Paymaster
General and admitted by the :• licial organ itself
—prove the sub-treasury system is found to ba
impracticable, and also that the hard money doc
trines cannot be carried into effect.
Ah the sophistry in the world cannot keep from
the country the three points established by the pay -
master’s circular:
That demands onithe Government are to be met
by checks on the Bank of the United Slates; and
not in “gold and silver.”
That the notes of that bank are deemed equally
good as sjiecic, more convenient, and more accep
table to the people,
That the United States Bank is the depository
“toa certain extent” ofthe public funds.

PROPOSALS
For publishing, in the city of Augusta, a semi
monthly paper to be called

and Medical lUTonner.
u Oroutname. nur/gi ve splendor to error, but cannot
transform it into truth.”
The papers bearing the above titles, heretofore
and at present published in Charleston, S. C., and
Washington, (la., will, very sho.tly, be nhited, aud
placed under the control of the subscriber. The
publication of the united Journals will be com
menced as soon as the necessary arrangements for
printing can be made.
The principles which shall govi m the conduct
A the new Journal, will be the same its predeces
rors have sustained —opposed to Poisons, animal,
nineral, and vegetable—bleeding, blistering, and
Hie end.ess train of debilitants used in madera med
ication—we shall, from time to time, exhibit the
fallacy and danger of the baleful means so often
employed in the “ heroic” practice of medicine—
means, which we believe, are antagonist to the
laws of vitality, and in utter violation of one of the
most irrcfragiblc facts in modern physiology, lint
in advocating our principles of medical practice, we
shall not forget the respect due to those who may
entertain different opinions. Men of character anil
talents are liable to he deceived, hut their motives
cannot he impeached. Our pages shall not he con
fined to the support of our principles only. Essays
opposed to tire Botanic practice shall tied admission
to the public, with as.much pleasure as those of au
opposite tendency.
The new Journal will contain a likeness of Dr.
Samuel Thompson, and likewise eaeh volume will
he furnished with from twenty to thirty engravings
of herbs or plants used in the Botanic practice of
medicine. The paper will remain in its original
form, blithe printed in a more elegant style, and
contain more reading matter than heretofore. Tha
terms will continue at twodullars and fifty cents in
advance pci annum. WM. H. PRITCHARD,
