CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AUGUSTA.
FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 19.
(£j" In our paper of the 15th, 16th, and 17th
inst., an advertisement signed by Jules D’Autel
appeared, charging the lobbcry of his store upon
Mr. Thomas S. Mood. We take pleasure in ma
king it known, in justice to Mr. Mood, and to
truth, that no causes of suspicion now rest upon
him, and regret that our columns should have
been made the medium of circulating so very
foul and unfounded a calumny against hiu*
and call the notice of the public to the adver
tisement of Mr. D’Autcl in this morning’s paper.
Papers which were requested to copy Mr. D’Au
tel’s advertisement, will please copy his adver
tisement in this day’s paper.
New York City Election .
The election for Mayor and Aldermen was
closed on Thursday evening, the 11th. Mr. \a
rian, the Van Huron candidate for Mayor, is
elected over Mr. Clark, the Whig candidate, by
a majority of 1059. The whole number ofvotes
given was 41,280.
The election for Aldermen and Assistants has
resulted in the choice of Van Buren candidates in
twelve wards, and of Whigs in five wards ma
king a Van Buren majority of seven in each
Board.
Central Rail Road.
The Savannah Georgian of Wednesday states
that this road is now complete, and in daily use
to the 7.) mile station. It is graded for upwards
40 miles beyond this point, but the process of
laying the superstructure is slow. We have as
surances from tnc Chief Engineer, a point in
Bu kc county, 80 miles distant from Savannah,
will be reached and in use in the month of June,
and that every effort will be made to complete it
to the crossing of the Ogechee, 101 miles from
Savannah, by the Ist November. Now, it ap
pears to us, that if proper arrangements were
made by the company, of store houses, agents
&c., at the 80 mile station, great inducements
would be offered to our fellow citizens of the in
terior to send their fall supply of goods by the
Rail Road to that point, and thence to be wagoned
to their place of destination; and we would re
mark to our fellow citizens of the interior, that at
that point they would be within 311 miles of Lou
isville, 20 of Waynesboro, 60 of Augusta, 60 or
70 from Sparta, Milledgeville and Sandersville,
and not over 100 miles from Macon, and great
expense and delay in getting their produce to
market would be as great. We earnestly recom
mend this subject to all concerned, under the
full belief that this road needs only to be used, to
be duly appreciated as it deserves.
For the Chronicle Sentinel.
Mb. Joshs: —A writer in your paper of yes
terday alleges that the sketch which appeared in a
late number of the Mirror is not lounded in truth,
and that we have misstated facts for the purpose
of making ourself the hero oi our own story.—
ha reply to his very uncourteous insinuations we
would remark, that the sketch alluded to is literal
ly a true story, in all its principal details—a mere
recital of an incident which did occur, and we
challenge the writer or any of his “ living wit*
nesses” to controvert a single prominent fact
stated. Until he shall do so, and until we are
convinced that there is some shadow of pretext
for his accusations, we shall consider his covert
attack upon the character of a private individual
as base and wanton as it is contemptible and
mean. Our sketch was not given as history, and
if in the course of the detail any tiivial fact may
have been overlooked, or misstated, it would, by
every candid mind, be attributed tojthe error of
recollection, or the poor opportunity enjoyed by
a private in the ranks of detailing minutely the
movements of a body of men in a hammock, and
not as the writer would insinuate, to a disposition
to " swerve from the truth.”
As to the conspicuous position of ourself in the
sketch, which seems so much to excite the gen
tleman’s envy, we would remark, that he is quite
Welcome to all the laurels won by us on that oc
casion; and if he will give us his name we will
introduce him into some much more brilliant ex
ploit, anJ hand him down to posterity not only
5s a champion of truth but as a hero of the first

MISSISSIPPI.
f Hanson Alsbury.
.*§ Und.tr the resolution, adopted by the conven
tion, on the 16tb inst., the Hon. Hanson Alsbury,
of Mississippi was appointed by the t hair a Vice
President of the Convention, and took his seat
accordingly.
Col. Arthur P. Hayne offered the following
resolution, prefaced by an animated address, in
wiiich he shewed the good already done by previ
ous conventions, illustrated their tendency to
unite the South socially, and commercially, and
above all on that great issue on which hung the
welfare of the South and the harmony and dura
tion of the Union.
K.solved, That this Convention recommend
to the people of the Southern and South-Western
States, to appoint Delegates to meet in Conven
tion at Macon, in the State of Georgia, on the first
Monday in May, 1840—to continue to present
the interests and objects of this Convention before
the people—and that separate and distinct Com
mittees for each State and Territory represented,
be appointed by tire President of this Convention,
whose duty it shall be to take all proper measures
to secure a full representation from every part of
those States—and whose duty it shall also be to
attend the meeting of the Legislatures of their re
spective States, for the purpose of promoting by
all proper and honorable means the objects of this
Convention.
The resolution was seconded by Mr. J. Cowles,
of Macon, and adopted by the Convention.
On motion of Gen. Hayne, the Convention
took up the resolutions reported by the Com
mittee of twenty one.
Judge Longstreet rose, and, after enlarging on
the necessity of action, in addition to delibera
tion and discussion in Convention, in order to
effect the great object of a Southern Direct Trade
with Europe, offered a series of additional reso
lutions.
The resolutions reported by the Committee
were then taken up ser,atim, and all adopted nem
con., and without discussion, except the last, in
relation to the revival of the Southern Kevicw, on.
which an animated and eloquent debate, ofa wide
range, and embracing as well the general object*
of the Convention as the particular subject of the
resolution took place.
Those who took part in the discussion against
the resolution, wore Messrs. Longstreet and Mil
ler, of Augusta; Stephens, of Cjawfordville, and
Felder, of South Carolina—those who spoke in
favor of the resolution were, Messrs. Harper,
Blanding, Preston, Hamilton, R. Y. Hayne and
Whitaker of S. Carolina. Dearing, Campbell, of
Georgia, Pollard, of Alabama, Jarnaghin, of Ten
nessee, Hale of North Carolina, Alsbury of Mis
sissippi, and Mills, of Florida.
The opponents of the resolution only objected
to acting on it as a convention.
Messrs. McCoan and BeiLlKonn, of South
Carolina took a middle course.
The question was first put on the motion of
Mr. McCord to lay the resolution on the table,
and the vote, being taken by States, was given
inianimobsly in the negative—the vote of Geor
gia being decided by a majority of one.
The question was then taken on the adoption
of the resolution, as amended by Col. Blanking
and the same was adopted in the following shape:
Bth. That in the opinion of this Convention
the establishment of a Southern Review, under
the direction of utile and learned men, to be faith
fully devoted to the promotion of science and lit
erature, and also to the defence of the instil u
tutions, the vindication of the rights and the dc
velopement of the resources of the Slave-holding
States, is an object of the deepest interest, and
one which should command the cordial co-opcra
tion and support of every citizen of these States ;
and that a Committee of Nine be appointed to
carry the object of this resolution into effect.
The President appointed the following Com
mittee under the foregoing resolution :
Committee on the revival of the Southern Re
view :
Messrs. Hugh S. Legare, R. Y. Hayne. W. C.
Preston. Stephen Elliott, South Carolina; A. B.
Longstreet, Geo.; James Gadsden, Florida; J oh'.
H. Crozier, Tennessee; Edward J. Hale, N. Car
olina; Charles T, Pollard, Ala.
On motion, the Convention then adjourned to
meet again at 10 o’clock, A. M., to-morrow.
RICHARD YEADON, Jr., Secretary,
From the Southern Recorder.
Penitential y,
Messrs. Editors:— lam aware that objec
tions will be made to the removal of the Peniten
tiary on account of the expense. This will cer
tainly be the most formidable objection, and it is
not only reasonable, but wise, that a strict regard
should be had to economy in legislation upon all
subjects touching the public interest. It will also
be admitted, that it would be equally wise and
proper, that future results should be carefully
looked into.
Then a question will arise, whether or not a
change of location will not in the end prove benefi
cial both to the State and Penitentiary. The
present wall around the buildings is a trifling
crazy concern, the bricks in the lower part of n
are mouldering away, and will in a few years be
so dilapidated as to require a new wall; one side
is now sprang near a foot and a half, and in all
probability, will full down in a few years. The
arena contained in it, at this time is entirely too
small; there cannot be an additional workshop,
nor any kind of a building erected more than is
here.
The apartment used as a hospital for the sick,
with the present number of prisoners, is too
small, and there is no room to make any addition,
the present workshops are not only too small, bui
are badly arranged, badly constructed, and very
insecure from fire. The number of blacksmith
furnaces, arc not sufficient to keep pace with the
other departments, no room to add any more, and
what is are so constructed that there is constant
danger of their taking fire; indeed, they do now
often take fire, but from the constant vigilance
exercised over them, i, has been discovered and
extinguished before any serious injury has been
done.
The wood shops arc so crowded that we have
not room for an additional work bench, and the
number of prisoners are constantly increasing, so
that when a new hand comes, we are at a loss to
know where to put him, so that he can be of any
profit to the Institution.
It is also absolutely necessary that there should
be a large lumber house built lor the preservation
of timber and manufactured articles, which will
cost several thousand dollars; and if the Peniten
: tiary remains here, in a few years the yard will
j have to be enlarged at a very considerable expense.
These facts have been mentioned to show that
if the Penitentiary remains where it is, a heavv
expense must be incurred to prepare for future
operations. If the Penitentiary was removed
the bricks in the wall, would sell for a large
amount of money, the workshops might lie dispo
sed of to mechanics, or the materials sold as would
be thought most advisable; there would perhaps
be a greater loss in the disposition of the cell buil
ding, in proportion to its value, than any other
property connected with the Penitentiary.
The land belonging to the institution, would
ass ,rd a number of valuable building lets, that
would, no doubt, meet with ready sale, for it is de.
cidedly the most beautiful part of Milledgeville
lor private dwellings. In the construction of a
new Penitentiary the walls could be built of more
durable and substantial materials, and of sufficient
height and upon a plan, that would not require as
many guard—the work shops could be nude
more secure, more convenient, and so arranged,
that the prisoners would be classed off and kept
separate. A great improvement might be made
in the ceiibuilding. If removed to the up-ioun
try, where living would be much cheaper, the
salary of the officers and guard, could with pro
priety, be reduced.
Taking into consideration the expense ofma
king improvements necessary to keep the Institu
tion in operation where it now is, also the amount
that would arise from the sale of the Penitentiary
property, and the advantages of a different loca
tion. by reducing the annual expense, the pre
sumption is strong there would be a great saving
to the State in the end, at any rate it is a subject
that should receive the attention of the Legisla
ture.

KeMAIIKABLE STATUE OP Jf.REMT BeNTHAM.
—Dr. Southerwood Smith, of Southampton,
(Eng.) to whom Jeremy Uentham bequeathed his
body, lias, it appears, embalmed the same, and
taken from it a perfect cast of the original, seated
in his chair, with his flowing locks, antique cos
tume, &c.
An article is going the rounds of the papers
abroad that Sir John Harvey saved the life of
General Scott at I 'hippewa, some time during the
last year. This is a misapprehension; Scott
saved Harvey’s life at that time and place.
We notice that in a public meeting recently
held in London, the private debts in Great Britain
are down at $20,000,(>00,000!!!
Arc honest man I—A few years ago Mr.
John Ray, of Sunderland, finding his circum
stances to be in a state of embarrassment, called
bis creditors together, and after laying his affairs
before them, compounded with them for ton shil
lings in the pound. Some of Mr. Kay’s friends,
believing him to he an honest man, assisted him
again to commence business, which he has since
prosecuted with so much success thaton Wednes
day he invited his creditors to dine with him, and
receive their debts in full, with interest from the
date of his composition ! This last the creditors
unanimously refused to accept; and, further, to
mark their deep sense of Mr. Ray’s honoiable
conduct, entered into a subscription to purchase
for him a suitable testimonial of their high admi
ration of his rare integrity.— Sunderland Herald.
Commeiu'lal enterprise. —During the do
mination of Bonapate, sugar, coffee, tobacco,
cotton-twist, &c. were sent by sea from London
to Salonica, in (Euiope, Turkey,) whence these
goods were carried on horses and mules across
Servia and Hungary, into the whole of Germany,
and even into France; so that goods were con
sumed at Calais, coming frem England, only seven
leagues distant, which goods have made a circuit
equivalent, as far as expense went, to a voyage
twice round the world.

New York, April I3lh.— Cotton. —During the
past three days there has been some increase of an
imation equally forborne use and exportation. In
consequence of the very small proportion of the
stock that has been ottering, an improvement of
about 1-4 of a cent on last week’s rates has also
been realized in the transactions that have lakcn
place. The accounts from Liverpool,received yes
terday, have as yet produced no other effect here
than tp strengthen the inclination of holders to
await the advices anticipated per Great Western.—
The sales comprise 650 bales Upland at 13 a 15 1-2|

Flour —Accounts from Liverpool to Bth March
state the arrival of large supplies of wheat, both at
Liverpool and London, from the continent and the
Mediterranean, and those markets had, in conse
quence, become very dull.
In the market there has been rather less anima
tion since our last, though prices generally may he
considered the same as then noticed. Common
brands of Westen Canal we quote#B 25 a f 8,37A,
sa es, in some instances, having hecn made at the
former rate. For Southern descriptions
out, we continue the rates as previously, though
the tendency is rather upwardforthe better kinds.
Ohio, via Now-Or cans, of the best brands, is held
at tc7 75, with occasional sales at that rate j
though, yesterday, a parcel o( 3.000 hhls was ta.
ken. supposed at #7 625.
