CHRONICLE AND SENTINEL.
AUGUSTA.
TUESDAY MORNING, APRIi. 30.
frT The State Rights party of Richmond coun
ty are requested to meet attheCity Hall, To-moiu
now (Wednesday) at 10 o’clock, A. M. for the
purpose of appointing_/buc Delegates to the Stale
Rights Convention to he held at Milledgeville on
Monday next, to nominate a candidate for Gov
ernor.
Silk! Silk 11
We, yesterday had the pleasure of visiting a
cocoonery in this city, at which a great many silk
worms were feeding and a few of the oldest were
spinning. In the Northern States the worms
cannot begin to feed before the middle of May_
and the season is at least one month shorter in
the fall than here. Wc have thus about two and
a halt mouths advantage in point of time to oper
ate. It this business does not succeed it will be
lor want of energy on the pait of our people, for
we undoubtedly have climate and soil in our
vor.
L. S. Senator from Michigan. —Another
unsuccessful attempt to elect a U. S. Senator
was made in the Michigan Legislature on the
16th hist. The House made choice of Alphcus
$ clch by a vote ot 27 to 20. The resolution
electing Felch was sent to the Senate for concur
rence. In the Senate, Mr. Harrington offered a
substitute for the resolution, with the name of
Warner Wing, in the place of Alphcus Felch-
The resolution and substitute were finally, on
motion of Mr. Gidloy, laid on the table by a vote
of 8 to 7.
Election fob Congress in Illinois.—
By an act, passed by the last Legislature of Illi
nois, the election of members of Congress is de
ferred until 1841. This was done, in the hope,
that before that time the new apportionment
would have been made, when Illinois will doubt
less have, at least five, probably seven members. \
Suit against Gen. Gratiot.—We learn
from the St. Louis papers, that the trial of the
suit against Gen. Gratiot was commenced in the i
U. S. Circuit Court, holding its sittings in tha;
city, on the 10th inst. The suit is for money 1
retained by Gen. G., on a claim for extra services
rendered by him to the United States, and the (
dispute about which caused his dismissal, by the
President, from the Engineer corps. 5
St. Louis.—The population of St. Louis,
Mo., is supposed, at ibis time, to fall little, if at f
all, short of 20,( 00. This number only includes ‘
the inhabitants of the city proper. Including the
suburbs, it is supposed that the population would j
exceed 30,000.
—The Norfolk Beacon of Tuesday says: —“i'he i
British ship of war Modcslc, is still in the Roads.
Had the despatches of Mr. Fox, bccnol a war.
like character, she would have been at Bermuda
ere this. As it is she will hear the intelligence of
the universal good will and friendly temper of this
country towards Great Britain, and what is not
a trifling item, that this government is determined
to build war steamers with all possible haste.
Some of the despatches of the Modeste have
been received, and she will sail when the remain
der, which is momently expected, comes to hand.
The Beacon of Wednesday says, “The British
ship of war Modeste, Capt. Byres, got underway
yesterday about 12 o’clock, and proceeded to sea
Thu Cotton Tiuue. —The Charleston
Courier of yestoreay says: The Steamer Sam
Jones arrived here last week with a freight of 700
bales of Cotton from Macon, Georgia, at §2 per
bale freight, and has returned or will return with
a return cargo of 150,000 worth of goods for the
country trade. ,
A Fortune. —It is stated that Messrs. Prince,
of Flushing, L. I. have within a short period,
disseminated 400,000 Moms Multicaulis Trees
throughout the country, and realized a profit of
$200,000.
The corps editorial of Ohio will hold a State
Convention at Columhus on the Bth of July next.
The Fisheries. —The Alexandria Gazette of
the 24th inst. says: “The weather has late

an d great quantities of shad and herring have,
we understand, been caught, especially on the
Maryland Shore. Shad have been selling at the
Fish wharf, in Alexandria, (the great Fish de
pot,) at from $8,50 to $lO per hundred, and her
ring at from $2,25, to $3,63 per thousand. The
demand has not yet been supplied.”
Cotton.
At the suggestion of our travelling correspon
dent, who gave it ns the opinion of the merchants
and planters with wnom he conversed, in his trav
els through Alabama, Georgia and South Caroli
na, that there has been a falling olf in the relative
weight of the bales sold this year upon those of
the last, we have prepared the following statement
for the months of March 1838 and 1839:—The
exports from Mobile in March 1838, were 49,-
089 bales, weighing 23,703,061 lbs., making an
average of 4631-10. The decrease in weight is
shown to be 5 per centum, or within a very
small fraction of it. This diminution in weight
shortens the export; for Mobile neatly 15,000
bales, and of the United States 70,000 balcsinan
ordinary crop.— Mobile Chronicle.
At the March term of the Court of Common
Pleas for Huron county, Ohio, a Miss Marietta
Washburn obtained a verdict for $1145 damages
against an ungallant fellow named Hiram Wells,
for certain slanders lie had uttered against her
fair fame. With the true magnanimity of a vir
tuous and highminded girl, she immediately came
forward and forgave the payment of all except
$2OO and the costs.
Montevideo.
Advices have been received at Boston from
Montevideo to the 23d of February which furnish
no news of moment. The blockade was contin
ued ns usual—the fleet comprising the following
French frigates, viz ; —the iVi.inerve, Bonitc, Ari
adne, and Sapho, together with a number of cor
vettes and brigs of war. The lionite had just
arrived, and brought a quantity of boats for the
use of the squadron.
A letter from Montevideo to the cdilors of the
New York Journal of i ommerce, dated Feb. 19,
says—‘The fall of St. Juan Ulloa has caused a
panic such as I never before witnessed. Doub
loons have risen to 275 dollars. Exchange on
England at per dollar, drawers, and 4, takers;
on Montevideo 17 dollars per patacone, or Span
ish dollar. The storm is thickening around us,
and many months will not pass over, without a
serious change taking place ; and on the opening
of the Port a brilliant business will be done here.
The wheat crop in the Argentine provinces is
said to have been almost a failure.
A Goon Business Sion.— Amongthegood
signs of the times, which we have noticed ol late,
is the treaty of peace made between France and
Mexico ; a measure which is, in our opinion, to
he productive of great good to this country. Wo
all know that dollars are as much the manufac
ture of Mexico as cotton shirtings are that of
Massachusetts, and that our nation has long de
rived a healthful supply of that basis of paper
emission and life of commerce from the regular
intercourse with our Southern neighbors. Im
mense amounts in the aggregate come in smalhr
or larger sums to New Orleans in return for mer
,/stTandiso; and this specie is conveyed hy fnvdncss
through the valleys of the Mississippi and
Ohio. A great amount of the specie possessecK
by the larger banks of the Middle and Eastern 1
Slates has been derived through such channels
from Mexico; and thus the paper issues have
been built up and sustained, and our profitable
commerce has had a permanent basis.
The intermission of this trade, by a war be
twixt France and Mexico, would he injurious in
a very considerable extent, by cutting olf a supply
ol such a healthful circulation ; and we therefore
are correct in considering the renewal of pacific
relations Ivetwecn these two nations as among the
good signs of the present time.
VV e notice that only a short time since a con
voy with three millions of dollars left Mexico lor
Vera Cruz. Such a sum added to the metallic
basis of the South would do much towards re
deeming the false step of a too early resumption.
But it is not alone or principally from such re
mittances that the benefit has been or is to be de
rived. The smaller amounts constantly flowing
into Now Orleans by steamboats, packets, by sin
gle remittances, or individual gleanings, keep up
the source of immense benefits dilfused in a
thousand streams, and fell in every part of our
country.— U. S Gazelle.

HR. WILLIAM El'AtiS' MEDICINES,
j Are composed of vegetable substances, which exert
a specific action upon the heart, give an impulse or
strength to the arterial system ; the blood is quick
ened and equalized in its circulation through all the
vessels, whether of the skin, the parts situated in
ternally, or the extremities j and as all the secre
tions of the body are drawn from the blood, there
is a consequent increase of every secretion, and a
quickened action of the absorbent and cxhalent.or
discharging vessels. Any morbid action whiefo
may have taken place is corrected, all obstructions
are removed, the blood is purified, and the body' re
sumes a hea.thful slate.
These medicines after much anxious toil and re
search, having been brought-by the proprietor to
the present state of perfection, supersede the use of
the innumerable other medicines; and are so well
adapted to the frame, that the use of them, by main
taining the body in the due performance of its
functions, and preserving the vital stream in a pure
and healthy state,causes it to last many years long
er than it otherwise would, and the mind to be
come so composed and tranquil, that od age when
it arrives will appear a blessing, and not (as too
many who have neglected their constitutions, or
had them injured by medicines administered by ig .
norance) a source of misery and abhorrence.
They arc so compounded, that by strengthening
and equalizing the action of the heart, liver, and
other visera, they expel the bad, acrid or morbid
matter, which renders the blood impure, out of the
circulation, through the excretory ducts into the
passage of the bowels, so that by the brisk or slight
evacuations which may be regulated by the doses,
always remembering that while the evacuations
from the bowels are kept up, the excretions from all
the other portions of the body will also be going
on in the same proportion, by which means the
blood invariably becomes purilied.
Steady perseverance in the use of the medicine
will undoubtedly elfect a cure even in the most
acute or obstinate diseases i but in such cases the
dose may be augmented, according to the inveteracy
of tire disease ; the medicines being so admirably'
adapted to the constitution, that they may be taken
at all times

One of the most dangerous epochs to females is
at the change of life; and it is then they require a
medicine which will so invigorate their circulation
and thus strengthen ther constitutions as may ena

Those who have the care and education of Fe
males, whether the studious or the sedentary part
of the community, should never be without a sup-
P’y of Dr. Evans’s Pills, which remove disorders
in the head, invigorate the mind, strengthen the

When the nervous system has been too largely
drawn upon or overstrained, nothing is better to
correct and invigorate the drooping constitution
than those medicines.

A REAL BLESSING TO MOTHERS.
Dk. Wm. Evans’ Celebrated Soothing Syrup
for Children Cutting their Teeth.
This infallible remedy has preserved hundreds o
children, when thought past recovery, from con
vulsions. As soon as the Syrup is rubbed on the
gums, the child will recover. This preparation is,
so Innocent, so efficacious, and so pleasant that no*
child will refuse to let us gums be rubbed with it.
W hen infants are at the age of four months, though
there is no appearance of teeth, one bottle of the
Syrup should be used on the gums to open the
pores. Parents should never be without the Syrup
in the nursery where there arc youngchiidren ; for
if a child wakes in the night with pain in the
gums, the Syrup immediately gives ease by open
ing tho pores and healing the gums ; thereby pre
ventingconvulsions, fevers, &c.
