FOR GOVERNOR, CHARLES DOUGHERTY, OF CLARK COUXTTi The following letter from the Hon. Charles Dougherty, signifying his acceptance of the nomination tendered by the late Convention places him fairly before the public as a candidate for tho office of Governor; for which letter wc arc indebted to the Athens Whig of the 31st ult.— Os the claims of Judge D. to the office tendered him, wc shall not now speak, having before ex presse dthe opinion that his nomination could not bo otherwise than acceptable to the party generally. At a proper time these claims will be pressed upon the consideration of the public. Athens, May 30th, 1839. Gentlemen :—I have received your commu nication, informing me of my nomination by the State Rights parly, as their candidate for Cover, nor, at the election in October next, and request ing my acceptance thereof. I hereby tender my acknowledgements to the party, for this renewed expression of their con fidence, and in accepting their nomination re mark, that it is done, to gratify no selfish feeling, but alone in conformity to their wishes, and from a sincere desire, to advance and sustain, as far as I may be able, those principles, on which in my Aiumble opinion, depend the preservation, in their Juiity, of the political institutions of our State and country. Please accept for yourselves, assurances of my respect and esteem, C. DOUGHERTY. To A. Hole, S. Floyd, B. F. Hardeman. Committee. Virginia Elections. Wc are in no humor for condensing some five or six columns of election returns, which grace the Richmond Enquirer of the 28th ult., and should not be, even were the prospect of a favorable result more cheering—still less, as wc should by thi* investigation be but heralding our own losses and defeat. We therefore content ourselves with offering a postscript only from the same pa per, reserving for another day our triumph (of which we have no hope) or an acknowledgment of our defeat, if defeat it must be. The postscript adds. Three more nett Gains.—Wearecrowd ed with Letters, giving returns, by the last even ing’s Western mail. They shall all appear—but we have room only for those which are the short est. It is still too early to come to any conclusive result. The signs are certainly most cheering. Our gain is decided—triumphant—but we will not yet undertake to say whether we shall carry the joint vote, and elect an Administration Sena tor. The reaction for the Legislature is most decided. Summary of Gains and Losses. —“Wc J?ave marched so tar into the bosom of the land” —and bo far the result of the campaign is—The Whigs have gained 2 Delegates, and 2 Senators. We have gained [without counting Hampshire, otJCulpepper, or Rappahannock] 11 Delegates— being a nett gain of 7 votes on joint ballot, [and counting Messrs. Goode, of Mecklenburg, and Venable of Prince Edward, 10.] Interesting from Havana. We have been informed,-says tho New Or leans Louisianian of the 29th ult., by a gentle man just arrived from Havana, in whose veracity full confidence may be placed, that great discon tent prevailed amongst the natives of the Island. They are much dissatisfied with the European Spaniards, who have seized upon all the employ menu, civil and military. There were some ap prehensions of a revolt. Robberies, murders, and burning of houses have re-commenced in the city of Havana. It was feared that the Governor General,Espclletta, would find a difficult task in suppressing the effervescence that was beginning to manifest itself in the minds of the creoles. The following law of the last Legislature is a matter of interest to all persons who deal in li quor, either at wholesale or retail. It will be seen that no person can sell in a less quantity than a gallon without obtaining a retailer’s license.— * A very important part of the law, also, is the oath i ifeministcred to retailers not to sell liquor to Ne t-roes. We hope to see this portion of the act fully carried out, and that every one who violates it may be subject to the severest penalty of the law. Many of our citizens have felt the evil ef fects of the practice as it has existed among us. Their servants have been ruined, both in morals and physical powers; while fortunes have been made by worthless and dishonest while men, who have received their pilferings in return for administering to their appetites. The walls of the Penitentiary now frown on all such individu als; and we never should rejoice more in the in, tliclion of the penalties of the law, than on one who should violate this provision of the art.— Mrroti M'tsropr- Sec. 1. That from and immediately after the passage of this act, upon the application of any person for Licicnsc to Retail spirituous liquors, the Clerk of the Inferior Court .to whom such application may be made, shall before granting such License, require the application in whose name such License shall issue, to take and sub scribe the following oath, to wit: I do solemnly swear that I will not during the next succeeding twelve months, sell, barter, give or furnish to any slave or slaves, or free person of color, any meas ure or quantity of distilled spirituous or intoxica ting liquor, without the verbal or written consent of the owner, overseer or employer of such slave or slaves, or without the like consent of the guar dian of such free person of color; and Ido fur ther swear that I will not suffer or allow any other person to do so for me by my approbation, knowledge or consent, so help me God. Sec. 2. And be if An ther enacted. That on or before the first day uHune next, and annually thereafter, each and every vender of any measure or quantity less than one gallon of distilled spir ituous or intoxicating liquor, shall, and are hrre by required to take and subscribe the above and foregoing oath. , Sec, 3. And be it further enacted, That from and after the Ist day of June next, and au , Dually thereafter, each and every person who ! may or shall become a vender pf any measure or , quantity less than one gallon of distilled spiritu ous or intoxicating liquor, shall, and are hereby required to take and subscribe the above and I going oath. Sec. 4. And be it further enacted, That upon the neglect or refusal of any person so re quired to take and subscribe the above and fore going oath, each and every person so neglecting or refusing, shall be, and are hereby made liable and subject to all the pains and penalties which a person retailing without license is now subject to, by law. Sec. 5. And be it further enacted, That , each and every oath so taken, shall be subscribed by the person taking the f ante, and attested by the • Clerk of the Inferior Court, before whom the same shall be taken in a book to be kept by him for that purpose. Virginia Elections. The National Intelligencer of the 30th ult says; We begin to get a clearer view of the results of t the late contest in this State, having heard enough to justify us in announcing the election of the following. representatives to congress. Whig. Van Buren . Henry A. Wise, John W. Jones, John T. Hill, Joel Holloman, John M. Bolts, P. E. Rives, Chas. F. Mercer, G. C. Dromgoole, Wm. L. Goggin, Linn Banks, John Taliaferro, Walter Coles, R. M.T. Hunter. Wm. Lucas, Conservatives. Robert Craig, James Garland, O. B. Samuel. G. W. Hopkins. Three Districts remain to be heard from, being those represented in the last Congress by Mr. I Beirne, Mr. Morgan, and Mr. Johnson. If the , Whigs should be defeated in all these Districts, they will still be gainers upon the whole; for p whilst the Virginia Whigs began the last Congress , with only six members against fifteen friendly to the Administration, the Whig and Corservutive ■ strength from Virginia in the present Congress will, even in that event, be as nine to the Admin istration’s twelve. A detachment of 220 recruits for the United States garrisons on the Red and Arkansas rivers, arrived at New Orleans on the 27th, from Now ; York. Mr. Wood, the gentleman referred to in the subjoined notice, is now in this city, and will of fer to the public, during the present week, the Map alluded to. We have given it a hasty exami nation, and do not hesitate to pronounce it, both 1 in the arrangement and execution decidedly su : perior to any Map wc have before seen. It is ' worth, if only for ornament, to say nothing of its [ utility, the amount asked. 1 We copy the following complimentary notice I from tho Charleston Mercujy. New and splendid Maps. — Wc have hung in our office, one of Chapin’s ‘ ornamental Maps of the United States’ published in New York. It is a very tastefully designed and beautifully ex • ccuted specimen of art —and combines accuracy . with neatness. It contains, besides tho Stales and Territories, smaller maps of the British pos sessions, Texas, Mexico, the West Indies, Co ' lombia, and the world ; views at the four corners, of Baltimore, Philapelphia, New York, and Bos , ton—and around the ornamented border, very good engraved portraits of the eight Presidents. The Map is accompanied by a new and very ’ excellent Gazetteer, a copy of which may also be 1 seen at our office, where a list for subscription , will be open, for the few days that the agent, [Mr. Wood] remains in our city. The Maps will be promptly supplied to subscribers, i Wccan safely recommend both the Map and , the Gazetteer. From the Boston Mercantile Journal of the 27th, Important Irons Sumatra. 1 The ship Arabella, Capt Rogers, arrived at this port this morning, left at Singapore U. S. , ship Columbia, Com. Reed, arrived day before, and saw the U. S. ship Jlohn Adams, t standing into Singapore^Road *, both from Sumatra. Com. Reed received information of the cap ture of the Eclipse, of Salem, at Colombo, and immediately repaired to the west coast. On his arrival, after endeavoring (unsuccessfully) to ne j gotiate for the delivery of the Mandarins, and i restitution of the stolen property, Qualls Batloo was bombarded two hours on the 23d December, one fort destroyed, and the other considerably in jured. On the Ist January, Murkie was burnt by the Columbia and John Adams. After can nonading the place, 400 men were landed from the ships, and the town and forts destroyed, with a considerable quantity of pepper—neither ship sustained any loss—the Malays all retreated into thejungle. No part of the property captured in ' the Eclipse was recovered. A Borrower. —We have a shrewd suspicion I that this article will meet the eye of a certain man we wot of, who is in the habit of regularly 1 reading our paper, without rendering the quid [ pm ntf'. He is one of those shifty patrons ! the press who has a knark of “just lookingover” his neighbor s paper, “merely to see if there is , any news stirring,” forsooth ! He “don’t care i any thing about it in a general way”—is loudest 1 in his censures—always threatening to subscribe 1 I°r some other, —yet among the first to steal a guilty glance at our columns ! Now, dear fellow, you perceive that wc know you like a book, so "confess the corn.” Look this paragraph in the face, and say whether you are reading your own paper, or one your neighbor lias subscribed for, and paid for, or ought to pay for, and no doubt will pay for! “There are hut two ways, friend, to altone for your numerous sins of omission and commis sion ; the one is, henceforth and forever to let your neighbor read his own paper without mo i lestation—tho other, to subscribe and pay for it yourself. We should prefer the latter.— Greens i boro’ Patriot, Michigan General Banking Law. —We | learn from the Detroit Free Tress, that the Michi- I gan legislature at its late session, annulled the general banking system of that state. If any per son should hereafter attempt to exercise banking powers under the old law, it is declared that he , “shall be deemed guilty of felony, and shall be fined in any sum not exceeding ten thousand dol lars, and confined in the state prison no more than ten nor less than one year.” These penalties, if It strictly enforced, will pretty effectually cripple tho cat operators. No association which was not* organized and doing business for six months pre ceding the passage of the late act, and which has not deposited with the auditor general the securi , lies required by law, shall hereafter be allowed to \ transact any business, except such as may be nec | essary to wind up its affairs. t Annual Statement of the Commerce and Navigation of the United States. —We | have received from Washington an abstract of | this interesting document, from which wo pre ! sent the following; 1 Imports for the year ending Sept 30th, 1838.

It will he observ ed that while the imports of 1837-8 are less by $27,000,000 than in 1836-7 the exports are less 1 by only $9,000,000 more. This looks like get ting out of debt. The tonnage of American shipping which entered in 1837-8, is greater than ' in 1836-7 by 3254 tons, while the foreign ton nage is less by 173,593 tons. This again is a favorable indication. The actual tonnage owned 3 in the United States has increased within the . year from 1,896,685 tons to 1,994,798; or 98,- i 113 lons. Rather less tonnage was built in 1837-8 than in 1836-7.— Journal. 1 Don’t despair Girls. —On Saturday last, ■ Mr. John Ayrenstein, a very respectable gcntle -5 man, a sugar-refiner, in this city, led to the hy i menial altar Miss Rhoda Grason, after a contin ued courtship of thirty-nine years ! The part!*, are both over seventy years of age—Mr. A. over a seventy-five, Miss Rhoda about two years hisju nior. They have been acquainted from child r hood, and when the gentleman was in his 251 h ’ year lie essayed to woo his fair one, and was lent t a patient hearing for some two or three years, when a country lass of some 17 or 18 years, a r village coquette, crossed his path, and led him a j merry dance for a few months, and then left him for a newer face. After a lapse of a few like the prodigal penitent, and in sorrow, he re turned to his first love, and a more attentive | and faithful swain “ne’er crooked the pliant hin , ges of the knee,” having visited her upon an av erage more than five evenings of every week du , ring the entire thirty-nine years. (Some disagrec , ment upon a point of trifling consequence in their ' future domestic arrangement was the cause of the long-deferred nuptials. In a pecuniary point , of view he has made a handsome speculation— she possessing solid charms to the amount of 40,- I GOO dollars. The point of disagreement he was compelled to yield—the fair one vowing she would die first.— Philadelphia Times. From the Boston Post. The Congress of 1774. The New York York Review for April contains an article in which is traced the origin of the Con [ grcss of 1 774, which met at Carpenter's Hall, in 1 Philadelphia, on the sth of September. This was the beginning ofour political combination. After I the old Congress, came the imperfect confedera tion under which the revolutionary war and the trealy of ’B3 were carried on and concluded ; and then succeeded the present constitution. | How interesting in a historic light, this body of | about fifty men —containing an amount of wisdom, ' j eloquence, and patriotism, such as the world had | never before seen. As debate followed deba*, as ’ I the strong impulse urged them on they knew >ot* whither, —never perhaps diditenter into the hearts of the wisest of them all, to catch even a glimpse i of tho momentous consequences of their delibera t I lions. Not even the favored few, who seemed to he gifted with prophetic vision to discern as from afar, “the rising tops of future events,” could have been aware of the sequel of those times. Per chance the political faith of some of those venera i ted men might have been strong that, ultimately, westward the star of empire would wend its wav, hut the onward march of time, guided by an un ’ I seen hand, could only reveal the result. r Accurately to appreciate those times, the mind ’! must rise above the dry record of fact: imagina i tion, the hfo-inspmr of history, must excel its power, amheall up the actors, the grievances, the feclingsicf those days. Then history is no longer i the dull oninstrnctivo page that merely chronicles dry matter offset.. It becomes radiant with les sons of priceless value. The immediate cause of the assembling of this Congress was the passage of the Boston Port Bill. Intelligence ot this reached Boston on Tuesday, May 10: on the 12th, by another arrival, it reach ed New York: on'the 17th it was first known at Philadelphia. AVtlon on the part of the colonies was immediate ; and long before, the most efficient action had! been suggested. Samuel Adams, in April, 1773 i had spoken of it in Congress; Arthur Lee, in April,-1774, hud said, “there ought to be a Congress,” whilb tho Stamp Act. Congress of 1 764 had well prepared the way. But the first formal recommendation of its revival, in 1774, by any public body, is duo to ■ Philadelphia. The honor of first suggesting it belongs to Providence, Rhode Island. Atalegaltown meeting, May 17, 1774, their deputies were requested louse their influence “to promote a Congress-” Meantime, Boston had’despatched Paul Revere, with the Boston redress of commercial non-intercoursc, to the South. He reached New York May 17th, where a meeting had already been held on the 16th; another followed on the 19th ; while Revere hastened on to Philadelphia, where he arrived on the 18th or 19th of May. Oh Friday May 20, a i meeting of some two or three hundred of the most respectable inhabitants, was held at the city tavern; this meeting appointed a Committee of Correspon dence. On the 2Tst of May this Committee met, and reported a hitter to the citizens of Boston, which was despatched by Revere. This letter recommended a general' Congress ; a copy of it was sent to New York, where it was received andl answered by Mr. Jay ; who then made the formal' suggestion of a Congress in his letter to Boston. The following intossting table, taken from this Review, is a summary of the earliest dates on which tho subject of a general Congress was acted on by public assemblages, in 1774: By a town meeting at Providence, R. I. May 17. By tlic committee of a town meeting Philadelphia. “ 21. t By the committee of a town meeting, New York. “ 23. By the members of the dissolved house of burgesses, of Virginia.; and others, at Williamsburg. “• 27,. By a county meeting, Baltimore. “ 31. i By a town meeting, Norwich, Conn., Juno 6. By a county meeting, Newark, N. J. “ 11. By the Maas. House of Representatives and Fancuil Hall town meeting. “ Z7. By county meeting at Newcastle, Delaware. “ 29, By the committee- of correspondence, New Hampshire, Portsmouth. July tl. By general province meeting at Charleston, 8.. Cl “ 6 7 8. By a district meeting, at Wilmington, North Carolina. “ 21. , lyia’tEavhnseUs was not, by. this table, foremost in'this great movement; and fora good reason. M “ The irnmediatc call of the Congress,” says the p w New York Review, “was a parliamentary measure, ■ than in its direct opoiation, affected that colony alone, and it was not, therefore, for her to say howN I far it was incumbent on the other colonies to make I common cause with, her.”' She waited therefore until tho pbn was matured before she appointed her delegates, i It is interesting thus to trace the minutia of our . great National epochs. The origin of this Con gress has been variously related. Judge Story, in his commentaries, ascribes it to the recommen dation of Massachusetts. Sparks has not noticed the meeting at Philadelphia, nor has Marshall.— And it has also been stated that New York first promulgated the notice for this that Congress. Cti in Trade. —The first American vessel that went on a trading voyage to China, sailed from Ncw-York, in 1784; but so rapidly did the trade, thus opened, increase, that in 1789, there were 15 American vessels at Canton; a larger number than from any other country, except Great Britain. During twenty-eight years, be tween 1805 and 1833 inclusive, the whole num ber of arrivals of American vessels at the port of Canton, was 596, giving an annual average of 32. The total estimated measurement of ton nage of these vessels was 590,000, averaging, therefore, 17,857 per annum. The entire value of the China trade, during the above-mentioned period, may be stated, in round numbers, at $ 150,- «■» 000,000, or over five millions and a quarter yearly. Rather more than a hVndred milliomJif this sum have been paid in dollars and hills of exchange. The bulk of this trade,.ia-in teas. Os these, twelve kinds are known to .the foreign commerce, six of black, and as many of green. A great variety of other articles enter into the trade, hut they form a compasaiively unimpor tant part of it. Opium is the chief import into China. Mr. Bridgman in his “Description.of Canton” estimates the whole number of vessels employed in the China trade, belonging to all the different nations, at 140, “But the trade,” he adds, “has always been carried on under circumstances pe culiar to itself. It is scouted by no commercial treaties; it is regulated by no stipulated rules. Mandates and edicts not a few there are on re cord; but they all emanate feom one parly ; still the trade lives, and, by that imperial favor which extends to the “four seas.'” flourishes and enjoys no small degree of protection.” The foreign commerce with China, the land trade carried on by the Russians alone excepted, is restricted to the port of Canton, and is con ducted, so far as the Chinese themselves arc concerned, by a body of licensed traders, called “Hong merchants.” 'lihisbody is called the Co hong,and its members pay roundly for the privi lege of entering it. It is not a joint stock com pany; each Hmig enjoys his individual gains, yet the whole Co-hong is made responsible for tho delite of every member, so far as they consist of government dues and obligations to foreigner. These merchants generally amass large fortunes, and live like princes. Honqua, the present head of the Co-hong, is-supposed to he the richest commoner in the world. Tho wealth of Girard was small in comparison with that which lie possesses. His annual expenses exceed half a million of dollars. There are very few oftthc « English nobility, rich as they are, who lipvc a j rent-roll equal to his. The factories, as the warehouses and residen cos of the foreign merchants are called, arc built j on a plot of ground, in part reclaimed from the ; river, having not more than 060 feet of frontage, | with about 1000 feet of depth. Within these narrow limits is conducted the whole foreign | trade of the Celestial Empire, amounting from $30,000,000 to $40,000,000 annually. The | factories arc all of granite or brick, and present a, handsome and substantial front. The ground on I ,j, which they stand, as also roost of the buildings j themselves, are owned by *he Hong tnerch'n's. i i»!<BntT»in I'm: largest iDT.—Mr. Keller, ono of our townsmen who sometimes amuses himself fishing, caught this week, among some others, « monster of a catfish, weighing 132 pounds!

The heavy transactions in cotton which wc no ticed in our last review, caused holders to advance their rates from a quarter to half a cent, which buyers would not immediately consent to pay, and the consequence was, that the sales of .Saturday were very light. On Monday, however, buyers came forward more freely, encouraged probably by the favorable accounts from New York, and sales to tho extent of some 4,000 ba.es were made at the advance asked by holders, as noticed above and to which cur quotations have been made to conform. On yesterday the demand continued fair, and the market exhibited a firm appearance. Our receipts are now principally composed of N. Alabama cot ton, in consequence of which the stock on sale of La. and Miss, is becoming much reduced —in fact, there are scarcely any good lists now remaining on the market.

The state of this market on the two days suc ceeding the close of onr last weekly report, re mained without material change from the condition then noted, and the sales were confined to small parcels at the decline previously reported. Oit Friday, a better feeling was evinced by purchasers, which has prevailed up to the close of the week, and sates have been to the extent of 4000 bales, at such prices as show the full recovery of rates prevailing week before last. The market close: this week firm and with an upward tendency in prices. The causes generally assigned by buyers for the advantage yielded to sellers are, the ad vanced state of exchanges, low freights, and the prevailing belief in favorable foreign accounts daily expected, together with the improving fea tures in the New York market. Shipments con tinue to be made on planters’ account. The stock on sale is running low, a large amount in ware house, being held on speculation.
