MONDAY MORNING, JULY 29. — I Elections. On Thursday last, the North Carolina elec- j tions commenced. On that day the counties | composing the two Congressional districts, rep- | resented in the last Congress by Messrs. Bynum i and Stanley, voted. The former gentlemen is a friend to the administration and is.opposed by Zadock Long, Esq. (Whig;) Mr. Stanley is a whig and is opposed by Dr. Hall, (\ . B.) Both are doubtful Districts. On Monday next, two other Districts vole, and on Thursday, August Bth, all the other Districts in the State follow suite. We shall in a day or two probably hear from the two first districts, as the great Northern mail route passes through both of them. The Tennessee election we believe takes place on the Bth of August, and the Alabama on the Sth of the same month. Indiana and Kentucky also vote about the same time. As the results in these Stales arc to decide the complexion of the next House of Representatives, our readers may soon begin to look out for political news of interest. For the Chronicle Sf Sentinel. Messrs. Editors ;— ln noticing the remarks of “A Genuine Planter,” upon the subject intro duced to your readers by “ A Planter, my only .object is to obtain an answer from “ A Genuine Planter,” to a few plain questions, which, il as plainly answered, will throw much more light upon the matter than a doxen columns of argu ment. From the very candid manner in which j “A Genuine Planter” expresses his views res pecting the Four per cent. Law, and the banks and Brokers, I could not but be strongly impress ed with the conviction of his honesty, believing what he therein sets forth ; but at the same time the whole tenor of his reply to *• A Planter, proves to me that “ A Genuine Planter is also a genuine Bonk Stockholder , and therefore liable to entertain very erroneous sentiments; for, we all are perfectly aware of the tenacity with which we adhere to self interest —il is a very’ sensitive nerve, and few ot us possess so little sensibility as not to he influenced by it, when we draw com parisons between meum and luum. Why do the Banks in Augusta refuse the bills of interior Banks 1 If the Bank in which “ A Genuine Planter” is a stockholder, would receive the bills ol the Bank of Ocmulgee, in payment and deposite, would the holders of her bills have to submit to 2A @ 5 per cent, loss at the counters ot the Brokers ? Is there any method of testing the solvency of a Bank that docs not pay specie,or which refuses to pay specie 1 What would be the rate of Exchange—say on New York —if all the Banks in Georgia were to avail themselves of, what you terra, their legal privilege ? Are you not of opinion that if all the Banks in Georgia were compelled to pay specie to each other, and to Brokers, that we should have a sound currency, and a low rale of exchange 1 Is it not for the interest of the planting inter est in Georgia to have a steady currency, and are they not better protected when all Banks pay specie, than they now are under their legal pri vilege. ? Do you, or not, believe with “ Baldwin,” of the Federal Union, that the Augusta Banks and Brokers arc a curse to the country 1 If you justify the courseof the Ocmulgee Bank in refusing to pay specie, when her hills are prr. sen ted for “ individual speculation," do you jus tify her in withholding her specie when the hold ers of her bills are afraid to keep them 1 Would you receive for your cotton, the bills of any Bank that you did not place confidence in, and has not every Bank, Broker or individual, the right, by law, to reject the bills of any Bank 1 Arc you, or not, of the opinion that a private individual has the right to invest §20,000 in the bills of the Ocmulgee Bank at ten per cent, dis count, and receive eight per cent, interest and ten per cent, damages if site refuses to redeem the amount in specie 1 1 These are plain interrogatories and not intend ed to draw “A Genuine Planter” into a news paper war—they hear directly upon the merits of the question at issue between him and the gentleman of the “ Morns Multicaulis Patch.” Specie. From the New Orleans Picayune, of the 23. From No r th-Eastern Texas. By a gentleman arrived yesterday from Na cogdoches, Texas, via Natchitoches and Red Riv er, wc. learn that considerable excitement prevails in the neighborhood of St. Augustine and Na- | cogdoches, in relation to the hostile movements of Bowles, the Cherokee chief, who, it is feared, contemplate a hostile invasion. Gen. Rusk had sent expresses in different directions for ah the militia to turn out, and had already collected nearly 1000 men. His camp, when our infor mant left, was within two miles and a half of that of Bowles, and an engagement was hourly anticipated. Bowles, in the mean time, was hourly receiv. ing ••’inforcementsfrom Arkansas, and the strug gle was -xpectcd to be severe. I \ 1 There is little doubt, in the 'neighborhood of Nacogdoches, that Bowles has understanding i with the Mexican authorities, and that he has been instigated to this hostile movement by a promise of immense grants in Texas in case he succeeds, and that moreover the Mexicans have agreed to attack the western frontier in the vicin ity of San Antonio or Goliad to instigate him still further. We are anxiously looking for the results of the aetion near Fort Houston, at the forks of the Sabine and the Trinity, which must have taken place on the 13th or I4th inst.. un less a treat)’ had been effected between the Vice President of Texas and Bowles, of which there i was little hopes. The Kickapoos, a warlike and dangerous tribe, whose skill with the rifle is said to be as great as i that of the Tennesseeans, Kentuckians or Tex ians, have joined Bowles, who is spoken of as a I shrewd, designing and ambitious chief, well edu cated, and perfectly conversant with the English language. The Texians desire no treaty with the Indians—all they want is a war of extermi nation. since they have learned the treachery of Bowles. The latter has always pretended to art a perfectly friendly part; but the interception of several letters lately, to the authorities of Mexico, has shown him in his true colors. From the New Orleans Picayune. Cherokee Difficulties. The difficulties between the two different par ties of Cherokees in Arkansas are assuming a se rious aspect, and the long anticipated rupture be tween the Boss and Ridge parlies will shortly, if | they have not already, come to ahead. Fears have been entertained that they would turn their hands against the whites, but it would seem from the following extract nfa letter received yesterday by a mercantile house, and which has been hand ed us for publication, that they are arrayed against themselves. Here is the extract, which is dated Van Bunnx, Auk., June 28. Circumstances over which I have no control entirely prevent my complying with your request. The difficulty between the Ross and Ridge par ties has caused such a stagnation of business, both at this place and my back establishment as it is called, that lam unable to raise any money From either. I have just returned from the latter place and could find no people in the neighborhood. The Indians are collected in companies. Ross has some six or eight hundred warriors around him, and the two Ridges and Boudcnot have been murdered—the particulars of which you have doubtless heard. The Ross party say they will kill all the signers of the treaty. Most of the remaining signers have claimed the protection oflhe garrison. What will be the result no one pretends to know; but great excitement prevails all along the Ime, fearing some depredations, as the Indians have made threats that it'our garrison interfere they will scalp Gen. Arlmckle. They were very bold in murdering old Ridge. They waylaid him in this State and killed him in open daylight. There has been a whole family mur dered back ou the line and the house burnt down bull cannot think the Indians done it themselves though the act looks too barbarous for any white man, for infants at the breast were cruelly mur dered. In this neighborhood no one pretends to think of business. I hope these times will soon blow over; if not I am wholly and totally ruined. Yours, &c. . From the Columbus Enquirer. Perilous Adventure. The Stone Mountain, in De Kalb County Geo. is known to every body as a geographical fact, hut it requires an actual visit to be able to real ize the grandeur and sublimity of this stupendous work of nature. Situated in the eastern part of the countv, remote from the mountains, and in a section of country generally level, the stranger would approach it without being forewarned Dy any other display of nature and therefore feci the greater surprise that a solid granite rock rose from the plain some fifteen hundred feet in height. Black and naked, except a shrubby growth of (line and cedar from its.fissures, whilst the country all around is thickly set with forest trees, and the earth coated with grass and under growth, it has a melancholy influence upon the feelings of its new beholder, and whilst admiring this mighty effort of nature, he rejoices that the brave foreigner whose name the country bears has such a monument connected with it. Man, that ever busy and inventive animal, not content to pursue the rules laid down in the good old book, which directs his path to the realms above, or fearing that he is not far enough above the cares and perplexities of this lower world to he beyond their influence when upon the top of this huge pile, has started a wooden tower from its summit, to be carried three hundred feet high, from which, at its present height, with a glass which is kept there, may be seen the villages, the water courses, the farms, the hills, and dales, ot the adjoining counties, presenting themselves in their miniature beauty and loveliness. It is in deed a splendid view, and no traveller passing within fifty miles, should foil to visit it—more particularly, as there is no danger of the sad ca tastrophe which happened to the tower of old, unless, indeed, the visitors are induced to test too freely the qualities of the excellent champaigne and Juleps to ho found thereabouts. On the southern side of the rock, and some four or five hundred yards from its summit, there are the re mains of a breast work, which reaches about half round it, and was evidently designed to prevent a further approach towards the top. When, or by whom, this was done, is not known, and is one of the many evidences of war which may be found in various parts of this State, of which the traditions of the Aborigines give no account. The northern part of the rock is almost perpendicular for about half its height, from whence it makes an angle of about 45 degrees to the tower on the top. The visitor, standing at its base on this side, contemplating its awfully grand and sublime appearance, must feel himself, and all his works, sink into utter significance in the comparison. Led hither by the beautiful view from the tower, and the good accommoda tions at the tavern below, this place has become a fashionable stopping place for persons from all sections of the United States, and a friend and correspondent has furnished us with the following facts in relation to the perilous adventure of Mr. Charles Boyd, of Virginia, on the Kith ult. This gentleman, in company with others who were strolling over the rock, observed his dog, a fine and favorite water spaniel, pursue a bull bat towards the northern extremity. Supposing the dog would shortly return, the company went on the tower, and remained some time, but the dog did not make his appearance. They went down to the tavern, and not finding him, Mr. Boyd and others concluded to ride round to its northern base, calculating that in bis pursuit of the bat, he had fallen from the precipice, and as a matter of course, he was dead. Judged their surprise and astonishment then, when they discovered him lodged in a small basin near the awful precipice, several hundnd feet from the earth, and several hundred ieet below the base of the tower, appa renlly beyond the reach of all human assistance. | His generous master, however, was not disposed to abandon his dog without an effort to save him —and accordingly reascended the mountain, at tended by many persons anxious for the success ot iiis undertaking. He procured a Inage rope, used in building the tower, and started down the declcvity with such zeal as to alarm the fears of those above for his safety. He went as far ns he could go, and further than prudence would have dictated, without hotter and safer preparations when he discovered the imposihility of reaching his dog, without changing his plan. He there fore returned, and his friends, meeting him as far down as it was prudent for them to venture, he tied a rope firmly and securely round him, his friends fastening the other end round a small ce dar which grew from a fissure in the rock. Thus prepared, he set forward again, his assistants above gradually giving out rope till lie descended three hundred feet, and found a firm foothold be side his dog. in a small basin, scarcely large I enough for three men to stand in. Ho tied a pocket handkerchief round the dog’s neck, and connected it by others to the rope round his body, and commenced his upward journey, drawing himself and his dog by the rope. When became in sight of his friends above, slowly toiling along the upward steep, with his dog closely following, the air was rent with the joyful acclamations of his friends, and he was received by them with j those feelings which manifested the drop interest | they felt for his safety in this perilous adventure. Our correspondent says he cannot conclude ,j the narrative without observing, that while Mr. | Boyd was making preparations to go down with the rope, his faithful servant George, earnestly solicited to take his master’s place, alledging the danger of the expedition, and his master's ill health, which should induce him to transfer the rescue of the dog to him, which his generous master refused, saying, “no George, I’ll go my self;” an instance of fidelity and humanity not often witnessed. Mn. Euitok:— By publishing the following story, you will no doubt do the community great good, as there are many “in this region” who, like Mr. Strap, have supposed themselves wiser than Solomon, and have endeavored to abolish that good old system of using the rod whenever the boy wanted it. From the N. Y. Mirror. The Uuwhipped School Boy. Reformation is the order of the day; and among the manifold modern improvements Mr. Strap, the school master, had his. “I instruct,” said Mr. Strap, “on an entire new system.” “You do?” said old Mrs. Gosling. “I do,” said Strap oracularly. “Now do toll?” said Mrs. Gosling. “Madam,” said Mr. Strap, “the world is six thousand years old.” "Law!” said Mrs. Gosling, admiringly. ; “And it has been all that time wrong on the subject of education of youth.” Mrs. Gosling opened her eyes and ears. She 1 knew Mr. Strap was one of the wisest of men. 1 He saw she liked to hear him talk, and he went • on. “Madam, children should never he whipped.” “How?” said Mrs. Gosling,interrogatively,and with a guilty look. She flagellated her little son, Jim, every day of his life, once, at least, on an average. If ever she had omitted one day, from ■ absence, illness, or any other accident, she made up the delficicncy of (logging him twice the day after. Jim was ten years old. Ten times three * hundred and sixty-five makes three thousand six 1 bundled and fifty. This seems pretty hard ; but I solemnly believe the calculation to he within the truth. —I solemnly believe James Gosling had received the rod at least that number of times. Mrs. Gosling generally made these inflictions with her own hand; she looked therefore rather confounded at this opinion of Mr. Strap, who was her oracle, and who, somehow or other, she had imagined by his name, had her view of the subject. “Children,” said Mr. Strap, “should never be whipped.” “No !” asked Airs. Gosling. “Never,” said Mr. Strap. “How would you govern them, then?” asked Mrs, Gosling, with simplicity. “Kindness, madam,” said Mr. Strap. “lint when kindness won’t answer ?” “Reason, madam,” rejoined Mr. Strap, with a magisterial wave of the head. “Reason may do well enough for some,” said Mrs Gosling, shaking her head doubtfully. It will do for all, madam, if properly applied Wo are created with reason. Wearo not brutes. We are—we are—that is.” “Certainly ?” said Mrs. Gosling. “I shall hereafter conduct my school on an en tirely new plan.” said Mr. Snap. “I shan’t have a rod in it. I shall make my hoys love me; res pect my kind intentions; bow to my reason, and obey me for their own good.” “ What do you charge a year ?” asked Mrs. j Gosling. “Two hundred dollars, and each hoy to bring ] a silver spoon—iwo suits of clothes, and two I pair of sheets,” said Strap, “I've been a thinking,” said Mrs. Gosling, i “whether my son Jim is not old enough to he put under your care.” “What is his age ?” asked Strap. “Ten, last June.” “Certainly,” said Mr. Strap, “I’ll take him with pleasure.” “I must tell you frankly,” said Mrs. Gosling, “that I have had trouble with him.” “I’ll take him, madam,” said Strap. “He’s very wild,” said Mrs. Gosling. “No matter, madam,” reiterated Mr. Strap, with a smile of self confidence, “I’ll take him.” “He’s a boy of good parts,” said Mrs. Gosling, “but he's beyond rny management.” “I think I understand his case, madam ;” said Mr. Strap smiling, again. “And you never flog?” “Never, madam. When shall become ?” “When you please.” “Send him to-morrow.” “I will,” said Mrs. Gosling. The next day Master James Gosling, with two suits of clothes—a silver spoon; and two pair of sheets arrived at Mr. Strap’s hoarding school in the country, not far from town where he had hitherto resided. He was a little red headed hoy, witli short sandy hair standing straight out like a shoe brush, and his forehead half an inch high ; a little pug nose—an enormous mouth ; no eye ! brows; and a pair of small eyes which looked green in the morning and red at night. Four ofhis front teeth had been knocked out fighting. Ho bit his nails half way down so that you could not look at them without setting your teeth on edge. His hands were covered with warts, and he had a shrill, cracking voice—Jim was a sad fellow, and one would think from the number of whippings he had received must have led hut a sad life of it. It appeared, however, that he had accommodated himself to his situation, and that he lived amid his multifarious flagellations almost unhurt, like a salamander in the tire. He had been literally whipped through life, and had he roine hardened to it, soul and body, as a camels’ knees aie to the sand; and though he screamed and kicked from mere habit, you might see him two minutes after oncof these skim flaying opera tions, with a smile of unelouded comfort on his face, of careless mirth, eating a piece of bread and butter, or playing marbles, or wunible thepek with the first scaramouch he mot. Me bad been enured, poor fellow, to all the forms and varieties of beating. Now it was a sudden whack to the ear. now a dozen slapt on the palm with a flat ruler—now a smart rap. on the knuckle—now a cull, and now a kick. These were mere child's play to those regular executions which varied the monotony of every three or four days, when “font and vest oil,—stand erect, sir 1” and the birch was laid on (ill the arm that wielded it pau sed from fatigue. At these times his outcries were wont to he limited only by the quantity es bis breath and the power of his lungs; and the unfortunate boy would shriek and roar till the neighbors, disturbed, would shake their heads du biously and tell each other it was “that Mrs. Gosling licking poor little Jim.” Such was the lad sent by the overwearied mother to Mr. Strap —not more, if the truth must be told, to gel rid of a heavy trouble, than from curiosity to sec what Jim would do in a school where they “nev er whipped.” On arriving at school, Jim was let loose among the rest of the hoys to play. He got info a game ol marbles, hut his antagonists soon perceived that ho cheated and turned him out. Ho then took to the top, but the “fellows” found that lie had bro’t into the arena a great, long pegged thing, that nit their little tops to pieces. No reader that has ever been a boy, need be told that his play consists in one top’s being spun in the circle, whilst the rest are spun down at it—some times splitting the mark in two. Jim’s top, with his accurate aim. split two or three, and the hoys protested against such unequal chances. One of them said it was like the horse crying "every one lor himself!” when he danced among the chick ens. By and by he was taken into a game of ball, hut in five minutes, a round stone, instead ot a ball, was flung with such violence at one of the small hoys, as to knock him down and inflict upon him a severe contusion. Jim protested it was a mistake Mr. Strap reasoned with him. He hogged pardon and was forgiven. The next morning the rope of “the swing” broke while a person, who was swinging fell, to the imminent danger of his life. It was found that it had been cut two-thirds through, in the atternoon the pair of globes were scratched to pieces with a nail or knife; ami when the usher went to ring the hell for bed, that necessary in strument was no longer to be found. A chain ol cireunistancial evidence fixed these things on Janies Gosling, Mr. Strap took the boy in his private room. “ James.” “Sir.” “ Did yon scratch the glolbe 1” “No. sir.” “ Do you give me your word and honor 1” “Yea. sir." , “ Do you know what an oath is 1” j “ Yes, sir.” “ Should you be willing to swear 1” ‘‘Yes, Sir,” Mr. Strap then said : “ My son, to bo candid. I dont believe yon.— I know you to he the author of these delinquen cies.” James looked up in the face of his instructor with astonishment. “If you will confess the truth I will forgive you. Arc you not guilty 1” “Yes, sir.” “I thought so. Now you have imagined yourself here, doubtless, among enemies. I wish to show you that yon are not so. We are all your friends. If you do wrong, you do so against those who love you. Is that right “No. sir.” “ Well, then, I am willing to believe that you have done these things from had habits; from want of reflection ; from ignorance of the char acter of the instructors. I pardon yon. Go down among your companions. Be a better hoy for she future. I shall never have cause to com plain of you again, shall I ?” “ No, sir.” “Go, then, my dear child. Remember that the way to he happy is to be virtuous,” “ Yes, sir.” “That if you intend to he respected in socie ty, you must begin as a hoy the honorable con duct which you mean to practice as a man. I could have punished you for the faults you have Committed had Iso pleased. I wish you for my friend. Hero is a plate of plumcake for you.— Go out, my dear hoy. Do not forget that you have done wrong and that you have been forgiv en. Do you hear me 1” “ Ves. sir,” said Jim, with his mouth crammed full of cake. “Go then, remember I love you and trust to your generosity that you will not hereafter in fringe any of the rules. Good morning, my dear son.” “ Good morning, sir,” said Jim, putting into his mouth the last hit of his rake. Two days after this occurrence one of the ushers found a pin very ingeniously placed in his chair, to the great derangement of his own ideas ami the undisguisahlc merriment of all, when the discovery was proclaimed. The next day the cat was killed, a creature which had been mueh loved, and was universally lamented, ami in the evening one of the little boys was fright ened actually into fits by a ghost fourteen feet high, with the head of a pumpkin and eyes us large as tea cups. The culprit was detected in James Gosling and he confined to bread and water diet for three I days, which did not prevent several ol the hoy’s j stockings being filled, before they arose in the morning, with prickly pears, and the usher, who slept in the room with the lads, on waking in the morning found his toes tied together by a long string communicating with the toes of six hoys who were also thus tied, the whole being linked I together. Mr. Strap looked grave at this, and James Gosling might thank his stars that he was inmate of an establishment where “they never j whipped.” He had to wear a fool’s cap two feet j high, with a pair of jackasses ears attached to the j top, but one of the little hoys near him being unable to repress his laughter. James gave him a blow on the eye which blinded him for a month, j That very evening Mr. Strap’s foot caught in a | string laid across the top of the stairs in such a way as nearly to break his neck. He took j James again into the closet and talked to him an hour. The arguments which he used would he quite too long for the limits of this article,— Socrates could not have spoken more wisely. At the end he gave him another pieee of rake, and sent him into the schoolroom with a kind ness more than paternal. James was this time melted. He wiped his eyes and blew his nose, and Mr. Strap went on with his arguments, till , . ...- . ——j,,, Mt-mr- w I at length the worthy disciple of the new system I I felt assured of its success.

Mr. Strap forgot his sys tern, hut obeying the honest and doubtless correct impulse of his soul, seized the young reprobate hy the collar, and having accidentally in hand his bamboo case gave him what people in the every day world term a regular trouncing. Mrs. Gosling entered while he was in the act. The naked canary hird revealed the story. | ‘‘l ought to apologise,” said Mr. Strap, taking breath “For licking my Jiml” asked Mrs. Gosling surprised. , “No, madam hut lor having ever been such a fool as to suppose myself, wiser than Solomon.

Cotton —Referring back to our circular of the 13th ult., per Liverpool steamer, we have now to report that the Cotton market has ever since been dull and declining. The improvement then ad vised was entirely lost b n daj s ago, and our prices have subsequently further declined about jd, making the depression in general qualities about Ij'd per lb from the highest point of the market in March; in some instances it is said sales have been made 2d lower. The present quotation for fair quality is Vj a Any doubts ar incredu lity which may have existed some time back as to the short crop accounts from the I nited States, have in a great measure past away since the arrival of the Great Western, but such lias been the de rangement of the trade and the great reduction in the consumption, that the spinners appear to have | no apprehension of the want of an ample supply, ! and confine their purchases to the supply of their i immediate wants on the reduced scale, which is 1 believed to be more than one-third below the aver- I age consumption of last year. The course they have thus taken is accounted for hy the value of Yarn having continued relatively much below that of the raw material and from the accumulated stock of Cotton in this port, which as it now exists, ! would be about sufficient to supply the consump- ' tion to the end of the year, even should it be at j once resumed on the largest scale yet know n. The further advance in the rate of interest and con tinued money pressure, must of course contribute I to the general depression of the trade in all its " branches. Throughout the long period of gloom | and depression ami comparative suspension of de- I mand, the receivers of Cotton from the United i States have very generally held with unexampled j firmness, and up to the present period the market | has had all the bencf.t that can ever be expected j to arise from a gn at proportion of the stock being i held entirely from it and not offered for sale. In the last day or two however,the confidence of i some holders seems to be giving way, there is a \ j great increase in the quantity offering, and the de- j mand being limited, prices are irnguiai and almost 1 nominal. The sales of the week ended 21st ult, \ were 11,2.j0 bales—for that ended 28th ult. 10 780 hales, ai d for the week ended this day, there arc 11.!),.!) lacs; ul the latter, 2240 are Uplands at 7a‘)d; 3790 Orleans at 6;{ a 9Ad; 2600 Alabama and Mobile at 7 a 9d, and 370 Sea Island at 20* a 2Sd per lb.

Havre, July 3. Cotton—'l he demand for Cotton continues to be pretty active, and the trade have purchased freely during the week to supply their wants, the sale averaging daily about 1200 bales; prices which had receded 1 a 2c, have now recovered and are very steady, and tire accounts from the manufactu ring districts being .ess discouraging, our market on the whole wears a more healtv aspect. 'J he • advices confirmatory of a short crop and of a sus pension of shipments to our port cannot however he expected to produce an improvement in prices of any consequence, as our stock which lias been accumulating lor several months, has now reached to 130,000 bales, whilst the falling off in our deli veries lias not been met by a proportionate decrease in imports.
