We re-publish the following for the purpose of
», inserting a line, (the one in Italics,) which was
■ accidentally omitted in yesterday’s edition.
(Xj* We have been informed from an authentic
f source that our estimate of $5,000 as the amount
i of Mr. Hale's loss by the fire on Tuesday morn
jtj ing over and above his insurance, is too small,
i The building of the Hotel cost .$30,000 original
| !y, and the furniture was estimated at from 12
■to $15,0J ), besides the brick building on the cor
® ncr of Reynold an 1 McCartan streets, which cost
■ about $23',)!). But a very small portion of the
furniture was saved, and not a single article apper.
K tainingto the dining room.
The communication signed “ A Botanic” is re-
I ceived, and will appear to-morrow.
Our readers will remember the remarks we
made some time since, in relation to the abolition
ism of the Editor of the Nashville Union, the
leading Van Buren paper in Tennessee. That
worthy propagator of Van Burenism, rejoices in
the name of Jeremiah G. Harris, and as we be
fore stated, was formerly Editor of the New Bed
ford (Mass.) Gazette. We give below a couple
of extracts from that paper, of November 14,
1836, as published in the Nashville Banner, of
June 10th, for the purpose of showing what were
his feelings and the principles which he
9 advocated.
We call upon the people of Georgia to mark
I well this case ! The Van Buren Presses of the
I State are unceasingly filled with articles cndcav
-1 oring to connect the Whigs with the abolition
* ists, and to prove Van Buren a “Northern man
with Southern feelings.” Here is the Editor of
% one of their leading papers in the South, who is
>. himself an abolitionist! Read the articles below
and sec bow warmly he urged the claim of the
I Van Buren candidate for Congress, on the ground
if of his abolitionism; bow affectionately and feel
“. ingly he appealed to the free Negroes, for their
votes! Mr. Van Buren, it will be remembered,
voted in the New York Convention, to give free
i „ negroes the right of suffrage, and his missionary
4 Editor at Nashville seems to have been a most
adroit eleclionecrer among them in Massachu
setts. Hut why should wo complain? They
are both "Democrats" —both "Northern men
with Southern feelings The former is now
heralded forth as the most fit of all men to be the
President of Southern men, and the latter is his
chosen instrument to indoctrinate us in politics.
Read the extracts—the Editor of the Banncrpro
mises to give others from time to time.

Henry Crocker.
He is the people’s candidate for Congress in
this District. Ho is capable—ho is honest. —
Give him your support. He has discharged the
duties of high and responsible public stations
xvith honor to himself and his constituents. He
was one of that important committee who revised
the Statutes of this Commonwealth—be has been
a representative of the State Legislature for six
years—and though a practical mechanic, A
SELF-TAUGHT MAN, he has been Clerk of
the Courts of Barnstable for many years. HE
is a democrat. HK’sthe friend of Univer
sal EMANCIPATION! He deserves the
support of every lover of human rights. If we
are united, we can elect him, and throw off the

ington, under a belief that there is but one
MAN IN THE ELEVENTH DISTRICT FIT TO

Voters of Color.
Wo have a few candid words to say to you in
relation to the candidates for Congress in this
District. You have undoubtedly read the double
dealing letters of Mr. Read on the subject of ab
olition, and are satisfied of his duplicity. You
cannot depend on him. A distinguished man
whom most of you know and highly honor as
your staunch friend, told us that he did not know
of a more aristocratic man in Congress than John
Reed—he did not know of a northern man more
violently opposed to your interests. ‘Why,’ said
that distinguished friend of your race, ‘when Mr.
Reed entered Uongrcs the last session, he took
the trouble to call upon Southern members in
their seats, and assure them that he was entirely
opposed to abolition sentiments ?’ Such is Mr.
■ Reed—and such his opposition to you and your
measures. If you would prevent his return to
Congress you may do so by casting your votes
4 for Henry Crocker.
Wc are opposed to slavery in all its shapes.—
■ In the language of Jefferson, “I have sworn upon
the altar of God, eternal hostility to any form of
i, tyranny over the mind of man,” and should he
unwilling to support a man whom we did notbe
“cve to he at heart, in principle and in action,
opposed to human slavery of every description,
m what class or condition ol human society. We

have conversed with Mr. Crocker — we are satis

vote; ami so win kvkht aiiolitionist in

Moriil effects of l.oco-l'ocoisni.
Our remarks yesterday in reference to the con
dition of tilings in Mississippi, are applicable not
only to every state in which the ultra democratic
principle prevails, but, Jo a certain extent, to the
Union in general. Within the last six years, an
epoch which dates its commencement from Gen.
Jackson’s second presidential term, the standard
ol probity, intelligence and capacity for public
employment, has been steadily deteriorating.—
Public honesty has been gradually undermined.
The fatal influence of high example has wrought
an alarming change in the opinions and conduct
of the mass, official integrity, once so essential,
so indispensable a qualification in the public
functionary, is now derided and disregarded.—
The departments of the government arc no long
er filled by men of strict accountability and spot
less fame; nor are their duties accepted with a
view to a faithful fulfillment of the obligations
hey impose. Reckless partisans arc, under the
new system,constituted the understrappers of the
government; the sole tenure of office seems to be
the unconditional, unquestioning and active zeal
manifested in strengthening the power of the ad
ministration ; and the chief pbject of the office
holder is to secure as large a moiety of the funds
entrusted to his care as unbridled rapacity and
utter freedom from supervision may enable him
to obtain. The dignity of station and the dic
tates of honor are immolated on the shrine of in
satiable cupidity, and crime finds sufficient immu
nity, as well in the multiplicity of offenders, as in
the relaxed and perverted state of public morali
ty.
That the government and the conduct of rul
ers exert a commanding influence upon the na
tional character, is an axiom ofsuch acknowledg
ed truth, as to require no explanation here. In a
popular government of all others, is the force of
this sentiment most unequivocally exhibited.—
The people enjoy directly the creating power, and
naturally look to the executive whom they have
elected to office, as the great exemplar of wisdom
and virtue, who is personally and practically to
illustrate the blessings and benefits of republican
institutions. From the front and fountain head
of authority they are led to contemplate the func
tionaries in the subordinate ramifications of the
government, and to expect that the chief magis
trate will further demonstrate his possession of
patriotism and principle by the appointment of
men of approved moral and intellectual worth.—
Hut when these anticipations prove illusory—
when the executive himself offers at best nothing
save negative testimony of cither talent or virtue
—when every place within the gift of the admin
istration is conferred upon mere brawling adhe
rents, destitute of all claims to public respect or
admiration, and when, worst of all, the revenues
of the government are confided to a horde of dis
honest partisans, and the treasure of the people
filched by the hungry satellites of power, or
squandered for the basest purposes of bribery, the
reflecting mind may well tremble for the tottering
morality of the nation. Wo look to the govern
ment as the bright and glorious source of all that
is honorable in opinion and laudable in action, and
we find it in every branch alike distinguished by
its lack of efficiency, dignity and honor. This is
the great moral hiatus which exists under the
present administration, and it has insensibly be
come wider and broader until it has extended into
private and social life. The doctrines and con
duct of the Van Huron party first occasioned
those startling and destructive hypohetscs which
have impaired the sacredncss of contracts, sapped
public morality, inculcated a contempt for the
sanctity of the law, and encouraged insubordina
tion, disorganization and violence.
What incentive is there for the citizen to pur
sue an upright and career, when he
perceives that the very government holds its pow
er only by the exercise of the most flagitious and
culpable devices. While the maxims, that “all
is fair in politics”—which is a tacit vindication of
falsehood, cheating and slander—and that “to
the victors belong the spoils”—which is on open
invitation to avarice and rascality to assist in
plundering those whom they have vanquished—
are boldly propagated, and directly acted upon,
we may hope in vain for any material improve
ment in public ethics. Insubordination is the le
gitimate corollary from these infamous precepts,
particularly when sustained and enforced by so
many living illustrations of public delinquency
defying retribution. The Harrisburg rebellion,
and the outrages and atrocities in Mississippi are
equally logical sequences from the doctrines ex
pounded by the followers of Mr. Van Horen.—
Nor can we justly anticipate a salutary and radi
cal reform until the authors of such heresies, and
vindicators of the lawless deeds which they have
engendered, arc hurled from a power they have
so long prostituted to the deplorable injury of a
too confiding people.
From the Montreal Courier , June 11.
Total loss of the John Bull Steameii
ii y fihf..—Mr. Thomas, purser of the John
Hull steamer, arrived yesterday at noon with in
telligence that that splendid boat was totally con
sumed by fire yesterday morning, between 3 and
4 o’clock, off Lavaltrie, about 8 miles above Sor
el, while on her way to this city, and we regret to
learn that several of the deck passengers, who, we
believe, were settlers, lost their lives by jumping
overboard during the confusion attendant on the
removal of the others ashore.
When the fire was first discovered, it had burst
through the deck, over the larboard engine, with
such fury, that any attempt to arrest its progress
was deemed useless; and it was therefore imme
diately decided to run the boat as near the shore
us the depth of the Water would admit. In the
meantime the boats were lowered, and got ready
to convey the passengers on shore. Captain
Hamilton, of the Dryope, whose vessel was in
tow of the steamer, with his men and boals ren
dered the most praiseworthy aud essential service
in taking the passengers from the burning wreck.
It was a most fortunate circumstance that his
vessel was in tow at the time, as a large number
of those on board are undoubtedly indebted to the
meritorious exertions of the captain for their
lives, as the steam boat’s boats were inadequate
to convey all on shore before the boat was wrapt I
in (lames from stern to stern. The passengers—
cabin and deck—were safely landed, with the ex
ception of those who leaped overboard. One of
the engineers it is said is missing. We believe
the whole of the cargo is lost, as also the passen
gers’ luggage. The passengers were in bed when
the accident happened, and some of them escaped
with only their night clothes.
As soon as the intelligence reached town, the
steamer Canada, was despatched for the passen- ;
gers.
The John Bull was, perhaps, the most valua- !
bio steamboat in North America. She cost the j
proprietors upwards of £22,000, and was only '
insured for £5,000.j
There were only about twelve cabin passen- !
gors, including two or three ladies, one of' whom,
a Miss Ross, was accidentally drowned, by fall
ing between two of the small boats, after she was
taken from the wreck. Mrs. M’Cord, the wife of
W. K. M’Cord, Esq. was a passenger, and es
caped with her night clothes only. The remain
der ol the passengers lost every thing but what
they had on. The number of steerage passen
gers lost was not learned. Fortunately there
were only about sixty, on board. The boat was
run ashore in about ten feet of water, and the en
gines continued working till she was nearly con
sumed.
[Correspondence of the N. V. Commercial Adv.]
Month bal, Tuesday morning, £
June 11. 3
Further Particulars. —The steamers Ca
nada, Cygne and Three Rivers arrived early this
morning, and had on board the remainder of the
passengers of the ill-fated John Bull. From all
the information I have been able to gain, the num
ber ol lives lost must amount to about twenty.—
When the boat grounded, although she was only
about a stone's throw from the land, the shores
being bold, with a strong current, the deck pas
sengers commenced leaping overboard, with hopes
of reaching the shore, but were carried away by
the current and sunk, or were killed by the wheel
which still kept moving with tremendous velocity.
As the number was not great there is not the
least doubt that they might all have been saved
if they had waited for the small boats. One set
tler says that there are eight of his party miss
ing- Eight got into a canoe, but were carried
under the wheel and perished. One passenger,
an Upper Canada lumber merchant, lost three
thousand pounds. The wreck lies about three
miles below Lanorayc church. The Canadians
behaved most shamefully; and with their usual
love of money endcavoied to exact large sums for
carrying passengers ashore, before taking them
from the boat. One had the, modesty to ask Mr.
Rhynas ten dollars before lie would consent to
lake him into his canoe.
The following incident is mentioned as having
occurred between Mr. M’Kinney and Col. McClel
lan, competitors in the 2nd Congressional district
of Tennessee.
“ At JacUsonborough a few days since McKin
ney read from a list of appropriations made by
the last Congress, a pretty large sum for sending
a Minister to Muscat, to form commercial rela
tions with that government. McKinney then
enquired of the Col. where Muscat was, and
what was the extent of its commerce, and said he
would sit down to enable the Col. to give the de
sired information. The Col. finding his geogra
phy at fault rose scratching Ins head, and brin’d
and haw d, and said he had unfortunately left be
hind him his documents, without which he was
unable to answer the question. McKinney of
course turned the ignorance of his competitor on
this occasion much to his advantage.”
Extraordinary Defence ok Bioamt.—
At the Tyrone assizes, a man named Henry
O’Neill was tried for bigamy; and, in his defence,
called as a witness his second wife to prove that
she had bought him from the first wife, and had
paid her 3/. for her husband, being one pound
more than she asked. This witness said that
the first wife had told her that she bad bought
the prisoner with her father’s money, and that
she had, therefore, as much right to sell him ns n
cow or a pig. The prisoner, on tiiis, seemed to
feel that he had made out a complete ease. The
jury, however, on hcingcharged by the judge, im
mediately found him guilty, and, to his dismay
and horror, his Lordship sentenced him to seven
years’ transportation.
ArSENCF. OP Minii—THE LATEST. —A few
days since, an office-holder remitted the total
amount of government funds in his hands to the
department at Washington, and never discovered
his mistake until he received a receipt accompa
nied by his dismission from office for neglect nf
duty, by remitting, instead of emigrating, with
the spoils.— St Louis Bulletin,
The World is round :
And like a Ball seems swinging in the air,
“ I remember Well,” said Tom, “that circum

asked me among many questions, if the ’arth

“Yes, sir.” I replied, “the world is round and
like a ball, seems swinging in the air.”
“I don’t believe it,” said he, “Scripter don’t
say so. Scripter tells about the four winds from
the four corners of the earth, and that’s proof
enough that the world’s four square. And the
sun doth set and rise, or our eyes lies. Now, I
believe the sun sets m a hole in the ground, and
rises up through a hole on tother side, and that
the sky is solid and round, and the world’s four

“ What supports the earth 1” I enquired,
“ Pillars,” said my uncle, triumphantly.
“I’ve always heard ’em say,” replied my uncle,
“that a little larnin is a dangerous tiling. Go ask
your aunt Polly.”
“Now uncle, ’ said I, “hang a big pumpkin to

when you see the flics gathered around it, imagine
that it is the world, and the flies its inhabitants.”

The undersigned fins the pleasure to inform the
public', that the elegant ami extensive accommoda
tions prepared foe the 1 rceeptnn of visitors at this
place, w ill he entirely finished hy the 10th of June
next, from three to four hundred persons can he
accommoda'ed—comfortable and airy rooms are
prepared for farniles in the large brick building, 01
il preferred, lino apartments will be assigned to
them in the different Cottages.
I here is an abundant supply of Ice, Wines, &o.
on hand. Amusements of every kind will be with
in the reach of visitors. The country around the
Springs admits of a variety of excursions, on horse
back or in carriages.
The Limestone Spring is a highly medicinal
water. In addition lo Lime, there is found Magne
sia and Epsom Salts in it; and the great quantity
of Carbonic acid gas, constantly escaping from the
Spring, renders the water vcry’light. To Dyspo i
tics, and persons laboring under liver complaints,or
oi constipated habits,experience enables us to say
that ibis water is invaluah'o. If any visitor labor
ing under any of these diseases lias ever visited
the place, and not been benefitted, it is to us un
known. There are two line Chalybeate Springs,
one rising out of the Limestone Quarry, and the
other a short distance below it. In addition to Iron,
they are supposed by many to contain other active
ingredients. Since they have been discovered .they
have been found to be very beneficial to many
weak and debilitated persons.
The grounds about the Springs arc beautifully
laid out, and afford many fine and delightful walks.
Several intelligent and respectable gentlemen
have settled permanently at the Springs, and con
stitute at all times a delightful society. They have
made their settlements with a two-fold object,
health and' the education of their children. For
tins latter purpose they have established two ex
