WEDNESDAY MORNING, JULY 10 The Savannah Georgian of Monday hoists the names of Messrs. Van Huron, Forsyth, and McDonald, as its candidates for President, Vice President, and Governor of Georgia. This is done with a considerable flourish of trumpets, particularly in reference to the candidate for Gov ernor, and an enumeration of the reasons for which the editors of that paper intend to support him. Those reasons are six in number; one of them is as follows— 3. “He is opposed to the incorporation of a Bank of the United Sates, or to any monied in stitution of a similar nature, and for similar ob jects.” This is accompanied with the following com mentary. “ Our third, there can be no difference of opin ion among Georgians on, at this day. Thp set tled policy of Georgia has ever been opposition to a U. S. Bank—as a monopoly at once unconsti tutional, or if not so, inexpedient, and destruc tive, to the principles of free government.” We had little thought that the friends of Judge McDonald would have attempted to place his election on the ground of his opposition to a U. States Bank or any other sort of a Bank. He has been known in Georgia for a long time as one of the friends of a National Bank—he believes it perfectly constitutional, or did in 1834, when as a member of the Senate from Bibb county, he voted against a resolution declaring it to be unconstitu tional. We shall in duo season produce the re cord. As to his opposition to any monied institution a similar nature, we have only to say, that as a member of the Commercial Convention held in this place in April, 1838, he introduced a resolu tion declaring it expedient that the southern States should combine together and establish a Bank with a capital of forty millions of dollars! Judge McDonald we believe is at present the President of the Branch Bank of Darien at Macon. So much for his opinions in relation to Banks. The Georgian asserts that “the settled policy of Georgia has ever been opposition to a U. S. Bank,” How such an assertion can be made with a knowledge of facts we arc entirely at a loss to understand. In 1816 the entire delegation in both Houses of Congress, from Georgia, with but one exception (and one absent; voted for the last U. S. Bank, and one of these was Mr. For syth, who is now the candidate of the Georgian for Vice President. We have never understood that any of them wore ejected from Congress by the people of Georgia for that vole. Correspondence of the Philadelphia U S. Gazette. One day Later From England. New-York, Friday, P. M. The arrival of the packet ship Siddons, this morning from Liverpool, whence she sailed on the 14lh ult., puls us in possession of advices to that date, and London of the evening previous, being one day later than received by the Liver pool on the Ist inst. The Liverpool Cotton Market, it would appear has again lost much of the animation by which it had been sharacterised, immediately previous f Jto our last accounts. I have been favored with , >*the perusal of a letter from one of the first houses in the trade, in that market, which states the bu siness on the 13th, at 25110 hales, and on the 14th at 3000 bales, with a declining tendency in prices; other letters give a different view of the market, as also the newspapers, but my authority is un doubted. In the London Money Market, of course, there had occurred little of interest, and certainly no appearance of improvemeni. From the London Morning Chronicle, June 13. Money has again become very scarce in the city, more particularly at the Stock Exchange, and in the foreign market, the demand for it has seldom been greater was to-day. Five per cent was tne minimum given on any slock, but the rate of interest of course varied according to the description of security offered.

'* £ , m Extra Meeting ol Council. % Council Chamber, Saturday, July 13, 4 p. m. 5 Present —His Honor the Mayor, Aldermen 1 Harper, Bush, Thompson, Nelson, Hitt, Rankin, Parish and Dye. „ The minutes of the last meeting were read and confirmed. The Committee on Streets, to whom was re ferred the petition of Edward G. Campbell and others, reported, when the following resolution, by Alderman Nelson, was offered and agrged to_ Resolved, That the Street Committee be au thorized to advertise for proposals to grade and put in thorough repair, that portion of Reynold street between Gumming and West Boundary gtr „ els , and convey the water falling into said j street to West Boundary street, thence to the river; or, if permission can be obtained, direct to Hawks Gully—the excavation at the upper end no: to be deeper Ilian five feet, the side of said excavation to be well levelled, and all the earth from the drain and sides thereof to be hauled in the low places where said street requires tilling of raising, and to report the same to the next meeting of Council. The following resolutions were passed. By Mr. Dye. Resolved, That the members of the Second Ward be authorized to repair the side walk on Washington street, from Ellis to Telfair street, provided the cost of the same does not exceed fifty dollars. By Mr. Hitt. Resolved, That the Committee on Streets be authorised to put up posts for the protection of the corners of the several streets, at an expense of not over cents each post. The Special Committee on V. Crepu’s bill reported a balance due by the Council of twenty three dollars, which was ordered to be paid. Council then adjourned. S. H. OLIVER, Clerk of Council. From the Philadelphia Enquirer. Steam. The changes accomplished throughout the ci vilized world, by the discovery and application of steam to arts sciences and manufactories, arc so truly wonderful, as to be almost beyond belief.— In travel alone, this great agent has elfected the most astonishing results. This is fully apparent, even in connection with our own city, and its va rious avenues of communication north and south. For example, we a day or two since mentioned the. arrival ofa gentleman from Boston a distance of 320 miles in 22 hours ! He travelled the whole way either by steamboat or rail road, and in both instances was propelled by the agency of steam. So with regard to the south; any one may step into the Baltimore boat at 7 o’clock in the morning and be in Norfolk Va. before 7 the next morning. Indeed the trip has frequently been accomplished in 22 hours, while passengers have been able to tarry an hour or so, at Balti more. Could our forefathers, of the olden time start np from their dust, and contemplate these won derful changes in travel and its facilities, their surprise would be extraordinary indeed. Less than a century ago, the trip either between Phil adelphia and Boston, or Philadelphia and Norfolk, could not have been accomplished by the ordinary conveyances, in much less than a fortnight. But if we turn our eyes to the west, and especially to the Mississippi river, the power of steam as an agent will be realized in a still more wondrous manner. Now, hundreds of boats with thousands of passengers, are constantly passing and re.pass ing the turbid waters of the Father of Rivers, and touching at points in the course of a few days, that in the olden time occupied weeks, nay months to reach in an upward voyage. And so indeed, throughout the greater portion of the world. It is now said that Jerusalem may be reached by an American Traveller, via Bristol in the Great Western, Paris, Marseilles, and Joppa, in thirty three day's!—These arc but few of the feats that may be accomplished, so far as travel is concerned, and with comparative care anil safety. And yet the history of the past is calculated to make the impression that the progress of steam and its utility are only in their infancy, and that a cen- i tury hence will unfold still more extraordinary 1 wonders. A late number of the London Quar- I lerly Review, contains an article upon the sub ject, in which many interesting facts are grouped together. “Arrangements are in progress tor continuing the British trade across the Isthmus of Darien with steamers, which are to ply on the great Pacific ocean,between Valparaiso and Pan ama, a distance of about 2.500 miles. By this means ,the voyage round Cape Horn to Lima, which has hitherto occupied about four months, will hi reduced to about thirty days!” In the Mediterranean, steam vessels are used by Chris tians, (lews and Turks, while ns early as 1824, a steamer made four successful voyages between Bornhiy and Suez. The Irish sea, German OceaJi. and the British Channel, are traversed by steamers, while in the American rivers and lakes therocannot be less than 1000 steamers in op eration. Inlreferencc to the last important enterprise, as connected with steam, we mean the establishment of pn'kets between the old and new worlds—the greiw-st trip on record was recently made by the Gref Western. The distance between Bristol nndlNew York is 3150 geographic miles, the while of which was accomplished in 13 daysand 7 l/'prs. In little more than a fortnight, several Brf ill officers dined in the old world, at their bo'/cks, in Woolwich, beyond London, and in a/puhlic hotel in Baltimore—having in that brief period, passed across the ocean, and through New . ork and Philadelphia. The Great Western is jilt) feet in length. She has two engines of 225 Jorse power each. Her cylinders are 72 j inches j diameter, and yet she is quite a small vessel , hen compared with several others constructed, ■ in process of construction. The British Queen ■ or example, is believed to lie the largest steamer ■ n the world. Her length of keel is 233 feet.— fyExtrcme length 275 feet. Breadth of beam 40 lncluding guards 65 feet. Depth of hold *27 feet. Tonnage 1,862 tons. Diameter of ■ cylinders, 79 J inches; length of stroke 7 feet.— II Diameter of wheels 30 feet. Estimated weight ■ of engines, boilers and water 500 tons; do, of I coals for 20 days’consumption 600 tons. Draught I of water with the above weight 16 feet. V The Gorgon is the largest steam ship in the K British navy. She is 1150 tons, and carries 20 | days coal, and stores for six months. Her service has been of the experimental kind; and the great est part of the past winter she has been cruising in the Bay of Biscay, and so well satisfied are the British Government of her capacity to con- J tend with boisterous weather, that they are now ; constructing some five or six others, one of which Cyclops will measure two thousand tons.— k,,'l’hs engines of the Gorgon, it should be recollec ted arc only of the same calibre and power as those ofVhe Sirius of 700 tons, which proceeded the Western on her first trip to New York.— If the'iGorgon, which is 430 tons more burden than th" j, Sirius, performed jo well with the same power in t(he stormy bay of Biscay, during the winter, wh\at may be expected from larger vessels of corresponding energies ! These arc facts full of interest, and the results already ascertained, have utterly annihilated the theory of Doctor Gardner. That accidents will occasionally happen, must be expected, at least for many years Uo come; but as improvements, piogress, and as new discoveries are made, less apprehension wiH be felt, and the system which is now only in infancy, will eventually be ’• \ A come as polled ns any human system may bo.— So much for steam, us applied to navigation. Its use and influence on rail roads and manu factures are equally important; hut we shall ad vert to this branch of the subject at an early op portunity. O’Connkl’s Wife.—On his wife being toasted at a dinner given to him at Newcastle, he made the following response : “There are some topics of so sacred and sweet a nature, that they may he comprehended by those who arc happy, hut cannot possibly be described by any human being. All that 1 shall do is to thank you in the name of her who was the disinterested choice of my early youth ; who was the ever cheerful companion of my manly years; and who is the sweetest solace of that "sear and yel low leaf” age at which I have arrived. In her name I thank you. and this you may readily be lieve; for experience, I think, will show to us all, that no man can battle and struggle with the ma- | lignant enemies of his country, unless his nest at home is warm and comfortable—unless the hon ey of human life is commended by a hand that he loves.” A Goon V\.—While the celebrated iron steamer Robt. F. Stockton was lying at Borden town a day or two ago, a tall, raw honed Jersey man oame on hoard, and ranging from one end of the vessel to the other, appeared to be examining into her construction with great minuteness. ‘Well,’said the Captain, turning to the stran ger, ‘what do you think of her V Hesitating and looking somewhat confused, the other replied— ‘Why, in my judgment she’s no great affair, but I was not so anxious to see the boat as to get a ookatthc darned fool that came over in her.’ From the Globe.

Putting »i Hindi-Log on Shore. A numerous and peculiar race of modern gen tlemen may be found in the valley of the Missis sippi. A naturalist would probably describe them as a genus ofhipcds, gregarious, amphibious and migratory. They seldom travel ‘solitary and alone;’ are equally at borne on land or water; and like certain vultures, spend most of their winters in Mississippi and Louisiana; their summers in the highr latitudes of Kentucky and Ohio. They dress with taste and elegance; carry gold chrono meters in their pockets, and swear with the most genteel precision. They are supposed to enter tain an especial uhhorrance of the prevailing tem perance fanaticism, and, as a matter of conscience enter daily protest against it, by sipping 'mint juleps’ before breakfast, ‘hail storms’ at dinner, and old ‘Monongahela’ at night. These gentle men, moreover, are strong advocates of the raes and the cock pit; and, with a benevolence, which they hold to be truly commendable, patronize modest merit, by playing chaperon to those weal thy young men, who set outon the pilgrimage of life, before they have been fully initiated into its pleasures. Everywhere throughout the valley, these misletoe gentry arc railed by the original, il not altogether classic cognomen of‘Black-legs.’— The history of this euphonious epithet, or the rea son of its application to so distinguished a variety of humanity, is unknown. The subject is one of considerable interest, and worthy the early at tention of the Historical Society, to which it is respectfully commended. It was the fortune of the steamboat Sea Serpent, of Cincinnati, commanded by Capt. Snake, on her return from New Orleans in the spring of 1837, to number among her cabin passengers, several highly respectable Black-legs. One of them, Major Marshal Montgomery, a native of the ‘Old Dominion,’ belonged to the ‘Paul Clif ford’ school; and indeed, had for some years past, borne, testimony, to the merit of Mr. Bulwer's ro mances, making the hero of one of them, his great prototype. In stature, the Major was over six feet, muscular, and finely proportioned. His taste in dress, was only surpassed by the courtli- ness of his manners, and the ready flow of his conversation. In what campaign he had won the laurels that gave him his military title,is un known. It hasheen conjectured that the warlike prefix to his name, may have resulted from the luxuriant hraeeol black whiskers, which garnish ed his cheeks. f n a certain day, after dinner, the ladies hav ing retired to their cabin for a siesta, the gentle men as usual, sat down to card!, chess and back gammon. Ihe boat had just‘Wooded,’ and was nobly breasting the current of the river at the rate of eight knots an hour.—' apt. Snake, having nothing else to do, was fain to join in a rubber of whist, and it so happened that he and the Major were seated at the same table. The gam ,at the suggestion of Major Montgomery, was soon changed to ‘loo, and, played with varying suc cess until at length, a pool of considerable magni tude had accumulated. As the contest for the increasing stake advanced, much interest was I excited among the bystanders, and still more in the players, with the exception of the Major, whose staid expression of countenance was a sub ject o! general remark. He seemed careless about the run of the cards, and threw them, as if quite regardless of the tempting spoil that lay before him. At length the game was terminated. 1 he tickle goddess disclosed her preference for the Major, by permitting him to win the ‘pool,’ amounting to near three hundred dollars. Hm success produced no outward signs of joy; he seemed, indeed, almost sorry to be compelled to take the money of his friends; and with much composure of manner, proposed to continue the play; making, at the same time, a very polite len der ot his purse, to any gentleman at the table, who might need a temporary loan. In the group of spectators, there wasa tall, spin dle-legged young fellow from the Western Re serve in Ohio, who had been to the South with a lot of cheese, for the manufacture, of which, that thriving New England colony is becoming quite famous. Ihe cheese-monger had been watching the game from the beginning, and at last, fixing his eyes upon the winning Major, said, in a low tone of voice, suited to a more lugubrious subject : ‘Well, now, that’s down slick; any how.’ The Major looked up, found the gaze of the company turned upon him. Knitting his brows he said sternly, in reply, ‘Let’s have no more of your yankee imperti nence.’ ‘Now, Mister,’continued Jonathan in hisdraw ling tone and with provoking coolness of manner, ‘you hud nt ought to let them there little speckled pastehoaids, play hide and go seek in your coat, sleeve.’ This remark, accompanied with a knowing wink of the speaker’s eye, instantly transformed the Major into a young earthquake. (Springing upon his feet, as it bent on blood and carnage, he bawled out at the top ol his voice, ‘do you mean to insinuate, you Yankee pedlar—you infernal wooden nutmeg that I have cheated !’ The young cheese merchant, leisurely rolling a huge cud of tobacco from one cheek to the oth er, and looking the. Major steadfastly in the eye, replied with importable gravity. ‘Why, you’re the heatornest shapes, I ever seed; who insinevated that you cheated ! 1 did’nt. no how; toil if you dont behave a little gentecler, I conclude I’ll tell as low 1 seed you slip a curd under your sleeve, when you won that everlasting big pond of money.’ ‘You arc a liar,’ thundered the Major, in a per fect whirlwind, at the same time attempting to bring his bamhooo in contact with the shoulders ofhis antagonist; but Jonathan caught the descen ding cane in Ins left hand; and, in turn, planted his dexter fist with considerable impulse on the lower end of the Major’s breast bone, remarking, ‘I say, Mister, make yourself skerse there, or you’ll run riglu against the end of my arm.’ Unfortunately for the reputation of Major Montgomery, at this moment, a card fell from his coal sleeve, and, with it, fell his courage, for he turned suddenly round to the table to secure the spoils of victory. The Captain however, had sa ved him the trouble, having himself taken up the money, for the purpose of returning it to those to whom it rightfully belonged. The Major finding that his winnings and his reputation were both departing, became once more highly excited, and utte'ed direful anathemas against those who might dare to question his honor. It is perhaps, generally known to the reader, that the captain ot a steamboat on the western waters, is of necessity as despotic as the Grand Turk. The safety ol his bout and the comfort of his passengers, in performing a long and perilous trip, require, indeed, that such should he the case. Detwcen port and port he is sometimes called to act in the triple capacity of legislator, judge and executioner. It is rumored perhaps without any foundation, that in eases of great emergency, more than one of these commanders have seriously threatened a resort to the salutary influence of the second section. Be (his as it may travellers on our western h >ats will consult their comfort and safety, by deporting themselves according to the gentlemanly principle. We throw out this hint for the publi • generally; and in the fullness of our benevolence, commend it to the especial notice of tourists from the ‘fast anchored Isle.’ Captain Snake made no reply the imprecations of the Major, having far too much respect for his official station, so permit himself to be drawn into a personal conflict with one of his passengers* — Stepping to the cabin door, his clear shrill voice was heard above that of the din of the Major’s vol canic burst of passion and the loud whiz of the Sea Serpent. Instantly the tinkle ofthe pilot’s bell responded to the order ofhis commander, and the boat lay-to, near the lee shore. Again the captain’s voice was heard. ‘Jack! man the yawl; Major Montgomery wishes to go on shore. ‘Aye, aye, sir. The Major looked around in utter astonish ment. The Captain called out, Steward? put Major Montgomery’s trunk in the yawl; he wishes to go on shore!’’ ‘Aye, aye, Sir!’ The Major turned toward the Captain with a face indicating a mingled feeling of anger and dismay. He had seen too much of life in the West, not to understand the fate that awaited him. Before he could make up his mind as to the best mode of warding oil'll s mpending citas trophe, Jack bawled out, ‘the yawl is ready, sir,’ and the steward cried out, ‘the trunk, is on board, __sir.’ Captain Snake bowed formally, and with a courteous but singularly emphatic manner, said : ‘Major Montgomery, the yawl waits.’ The Major, however, retained his position near the tard table, and began to remonstrate against such very exceptionable treatment of a Virginia gentleman, his character had never been question ed.—He concluded by a broad intimation, that on their arrival at Cincinnati, he should hold the Captain personally responsible under the laws of honor. In reply, the Captain of the Sea Serpent, bowed again most profoundly, and turning toward the door of the cabin, said, calmly ‘Steward, call the Firemen to assist Major Montgomery into the yawl; he wishes *o go on shore. laa "■ i J he redoubtable Major, in the vain hope that the passenger* would sustain him in the contest, now threw himsrll on In* reserved rights, run tip the Ih.g of nullification, and teroeionsly brandish ed ms Howie knife; at th.is moment the fireman made Ins appearance, lie was a full grown Kentuckian, horn on the cedar knohaof the Hlue locks, and raised on sulphur water, hone and possum I at. hike many of his countrymen, he was an aspiring fellow, for he stood six feel four, in Ids moeeassins, and exhibited corresponding dovHopoments of hone ami Matless and costless, with naked arms, and a lace blackened w ith smoke and ashes, he might have passed for one ot old Vulcan’s journeymen, who had been forging thunderbolts for Jupiter, in some reigio infernal,,. He stalked carelessly up to the helloeose Major, and before the latter was aware of i t . seized the hand that held the up ratsed knife, and wrenched it from him. The 1 next instant the Major found himself fairly with in the brawny arms of his antagonist. He slrug ■ gled stoutly to extricate his elegant person from such ait embrace, but in vain. The fireman, dis pleased with the rest less disposition of his captive, ■ gave him one ot those warm fraternal hugs, which an old hear is wont to bestow upon an un mannerly dog, that may venture to annoy his re- I trenl from a farmer’s hog pen. This loving squeeze so completely molilied the rebellious * feelings of the Major, that he suffered himself to he passively led into the yawl. The Captain’s ’ shrill voice was again heard. 1 ‘Poll away, my hoys, Major Montgomery wish ! es to go on shore.’ The oars dipped into the water and the yawl i glided quickly to the beach. The afternoon was cloudy and dark; a drizzling rain was falling; the cotton wood trees wore a funeral aspect; no ■ vestige of a human habitation could be seen upon 1 either shore, and the turbid waters ofthe Missis -1 sippi, were hastening onwards as if to escape from ! such a gloomy place. ' Many of the passengers supposed that after , the Major had been disgraced by being set on ' shore, he would he suffered to relurn; hut those who entertained that opinion knew very little ot the character of Captain Snake. That Major Montgomery should he a black leg, was in ins * estimation, no very heinous affair, for he held that in this republican country, and this demo cratic ago, every man has a natural and unaliena ble right to choose his own occupation. Util after having been permitted to play ‘loo’ with the ’ Captain o( the fast running Sea Serpent, that the Major should slip a card, and then, lubberly rascal, be caught at it—this was too had—abso lutely unpardonable. There was something so vulgar, so very unprofessional in such conduct, that it was not to ho tolerated. The yawl touched the shore and was hastily dishin dotted ot its trunk. The Ma jor, however, after rising on his feel, looked wistfully hack tip on the Sea Serpent; and manifested no disposi tion to take refuge in a cane-break : Whereup on. the Captain becoming impatient, cried out, ‘Fireman, lend a hand to assist Major Moul . gomery on shore.’ i he huge Kentuckian now began to approach ' the Major, who, having no particular relish for I anutUci fiau 111..1 v.,, B , „(„ ung to me oeacn, uuj ‘ l sunk to his knees in mud. Thinking forbearance 1 no longer virtue he poured out on the Captain, a t torrent of abuse, and, with wrathful oaths threat ened to publish him, and his ugly snail creeping steamer, from Glean Point to the alligator ’ swamps of Iho Utilize. The Captain made no 1 roply, but the fireman, roused liy hearing such ■ opprobrious terms applied to Ins beloved Sea Ser pent, called out in a voice, that was echoed from shore to shore. ‘I say, Mr. Jack-of-knaves,it looks rather wolfy in these parts.’ ‘Shut your black mouth, your scoundrel,’re torted the Major, boiling over with rage. ‘lsay, stranger,’continued the fireman with | provoking good humor, ‘would you swap them Initial a robes on your cheeks lor a pair of ‘coon skins V i he Major stooped down for a stone to hurl at his annoying foe, hut alas, he stood in a bed of mortar, and no resource hut that of firing anoth er volley of curses. ‘Hallo! my hearty,’ rejoined the fireman, ‘when you want to he rowed up ‘salt river’ again, just tip me the wink; and remember Mr. King of-Clubs. donl holler till you get out of the woods, or you’ll frighten all the varmints. During this colloquy, the young cheese-mer chant stood on the guards of the boat a silent spectator, hut at length, us if shocked by the dreadful profanity of the Major, he raised his voice and bawled out; ‘I say Mister, if you was away down east, I guess squire Daggett would fine you ever so much for swaringso wicked, —that’s the how.’ Ihe pilot s hell tinckled. the wheels resumed their gyrations, and again (ho majestic Sea Her -1 pent, , ‘Walked the water like a tiling of life.’ Jonathan, withalook in which Iho solemn and 1 the comic wero curiously blended, turned his eyes first towards the Captain, then upon the Ma jor, and exclaimed, ‘Well, now, the way these crc steam captains 1 do things, is nothing to nobody, now how.’ Anil tints terminated one of those little episodes in the drama o( life, not uncommon on the west -1 ern waters.
