The eldo«l eon of the houae waa carrying on i

hia venerable father, and Ijwaa not a little
oatoniahed when he ultimately inlormed me

di had resolutely insisted,) that in the event
of detection it waa to be soars jta pew,* an
an arrangement that would enable luaaon at
once to elude pursuit, if he exercised the least
angenuity or caution. i
What European traveller poaseaaed of ilic |
lean spirit of adventure, would refuae to in- j
counter danger in order to aland beneath the
'•dome of St. Sophia! And above all, what
wandering Giaour could resist the tempa
tion of entering a tnoeqoc during !ligh Prayer.
Tliese were the quealion* that I asked my
self as the young Bey vowed hnnsell so gal
lantly to the venture (to him, in any c«ae, not
without ita dangers) in order to avert me from
the diaappointment which I dreaded.
I at once underilood that the attempt must bo
made in a Turkiah dresa; but tin* fact was <>( i
'triflingimportance, aa no costume in llie world
lends itself more readily or more convenient
to the purpose of disguise. After having de
liberaiely weighed the chances fur and agmsi
detection I resolved lo run the risk; and ac
cordingly stained my eyebrows with some ot I
the dye common in tlie harem; concealed my
■female attire beneath a magnificent pelisse, i
lined with sables which fastened from my
chin to my feel; pulled a fez low upon my I
ifiKtw; and proceeded by a servant with a lan
tern. attended by the Hey, and followed by
the iviara and a pipe bearer, at half past ten j
o'clock I a allied forth on my adventurous cr- i
Tend. Wo have not mentioned to either the i
wife »r llie mother of the Bey whither we
were bound,being fearful ot alarming them un
necessarily; and they consequently remained
perfectly satisfied with the asaaranco of the
old gentleman, that I waa anxious to sec the
Bosphorus by moonlight, tliougli a darker
'■night never apread ita mantle over llie earth.
I am extremely doubtful whether on a less
exciting occasion 1 should have kept lime
with the rapid pace of my companion over
“the value pavement of Constantinople; ns it
'waa however, I dared not give away, lest ev
ery one among the individuals who followed
us, and who were perhaps bound on the same
errand, should penetrate my disguise.
“If we escape from St. Sophia unsuspect
ed." said my chivalrous friend, “wo will then |
make another bold attempt, we will visit the
‘tnosqhe bf Saltan Achmet, ana as this is a
high festival if you risk the adventure, yon
hvill have done what no Infidel has ever yet
dared to do; but! forewarn you that, should
you be discovered, and fail to make your es
cape on the instant, you will bo lorn lo pie-
This assertion somewhat staggered me,
and for ap instant, my woman-spirit quailed; I
contented myself however with briefly reply
ing.—“ When we leave St. Sophia, wu will
talk of this, and continued to walk beside him
'in silence.—At length wc entered the spacious
■court of (he mosque,ami as the servants stoop
ed tn withdraw my ahoea, the Bey murmured
•in my ear; “Bo firm or you are lost!"—and
‘making a strong effort to subdue* tho leeling
of mingled awo and fear which was rspidly
stealing over utc, I pulled the fox deeper upon
iny eye-bruws, and obeyed.
On passing the threshold, I found mysnlfiu
a covered peristyle, whose gisgntic columns
of granite ara partially sunk in tile wall of
which they form a part; the floor wag covered |
with fine mailing, and tlte colored lamps,which
were suspended in festoons from the lolly |
ceiling, shod a broad light on all the surround- 1 ;
hng objects. In mustol the recesses formed
Hiv the pillars beggars were crouched down,
holding in front of them their little metal ha
sins, lor the acts of the charitable: while ser
vants lounged to and fro, or squatted in groups
upon llie matting, awaiting the egress of their
employers. As I look around mo our own at
tendant moved forward, and raising the cur
lam which veiled a douole door of bronze,
mtu.infd at middlengilt of the peristyle, I in- '
■voluntarily shrank back before tho blaze of
light dipt burst upon mo. I
Far as the eye c*ald reach upwards, circles 1
of coloured lire, appearing us if suspended in *
amd-air, designated the form ot tho sUipon- 1
dous dome, while beneath, devices of every 1
-shape ami colnur were farmed by myriads of I
lam|i« of various hue*; the Imperial close), 1
situated opposite (ho pulpit, was ono blaze ol I
refulgence, and its gilded lattices flashed back '
'die brilliancy, till it bunked like a gigantic me
teor! 1
As i stood a few's paces within the door- *
way, 1 could not distinguish the limits of the ■
‘edifice—l looked forward, upward,—to the 1
right band, and to the left—bul I could only ■
taka m a given space, covered wi.lt luinuit

shrill chanting of the choir pealed through the
Vast pile, & died away in lengthened cadences

And this was Bt. Sophia ! To me it seem
■ed like a creation «f enchantment—the ligi t
'—the ringing voices—the mysterious extent,
which baffled the earnestness ot' nty gaze—
'the ten thousand Inrbaued Moslems, all knee
ling with their faces turned towards Mecca,
•and at intervals laying tlieir foreheads to the
‘earth—the bright and various colors of the
dresses—aud die rich and glowing tints ot
■the carpets that veiled the marble floor—all
consprred to form a scene of such unearthly
magnificence, that I felt as though therecoulil

wore wreathed with lamps, even to the sum

from the ceiling give the) whole edifice the
appearance of a space overhung with stars.
We entered at a propoitioua moment, tor
llie faithful were performing their pros'ra

more like the delicious outcry which we may
suppose !o have been uttered by a band of
Delphic Pneaieaaese, than the voices of a

We passed onward over the yielding car
pets, which returned no sound beneaih our
footsteps: and there was something strange
ly anpernattfral in the spectacles of several
human beings moving along, without creat
ing a single echo in the vast apace they
traversed. Wc paused an instant beside the
marble-arched platlorm un which the tnuez

From Ike Southern Recorder.
The Standard of Union once compared the
contest before the people of the Hiale, lor the
office of Govcnor, to a trial before a court.—
We are content, for the present, to consider it
in that aspect. Cause is to be shown why
George 11. Gilmer should not be elected Gov
enor. There is,as as far a« we can sec, no
specific allegation against Mr. Gilmer but the
cause alledged why he should not he vested
with said office, is contained in sundry pur-
Hons of good advice weekly offered the good
people of (his .Statu in the columns of the
Standard of Union, and the Federal Union.—
These two presses are the most prominent in
their opposition to Mr. Gilmer, and we pre
sume we shall do the parly that support Gov-
Schley, no discredit, when wo say, they are
perhaps the must effective.
in ail cases presented before a court for ad
judication, the testimony in or ought to be
most scrupulously weighed. Wo propose
therefore, to submit the evidence furnished by
these prints against Mr. Gilmer, to a strict
and legal examination, Tho first question we
would propound In tho witnesses is, "have
you no inlerett m the event of this suit?" We
care not tor their replies, ns we have what
lawyers call, record evidence of tho fact. Tho
gentlemen who have the management of the
editorial department of these presses, have
indeed a large stake at issue. They built held
officers in the government, ono is tint Treasur
er, the oilier the Comptroller General of the
Mime. The defeat of Governor Schley ends
their term of office. This to a great extent
accounts fur Ilian exuberance ot zeal which
outstrips tlioirco-luborers in the work of up
holding the nomination of Governor Schley.
I Wo Hunk we do them no injustice, when we
j point lo this fact as tho governing motive
which prompts the utterance of the groundless
charges sod unsubstantial accusal ions they so
vociferously assert against Mr. Gilmer. In
our courts of Justice, an interested witness is
nut miflbrcd to testily; his mouth Itis scaled by
the justice of the law. which will not permit
any man tu be placed in the way of tempta
tion. That rule is not without its application
in politics.
It has been alleged by our contemporary,
the Standard of Union, somewhere in the
bonk it threatened lo fulminate against Mr.
Gilmer, (page and line are not material,) that
he was n practical nutliticr. Suppose wo ad
mil for a moment tills allegation, as true, with
what grace we ask does it come from the
mouth of him whose daily boast is Ins disre
gard of (he lawsofthe United Stales, in the
matter of the Cherokee Indians. Where was
our cotemporary, when the insolent missive
ol (ho Supreme Court cited the sovereign
Slate of Georgia before that bar lo plead lo
tho accusation of having unforced the sen
tence of Iter laws upon un Indian murderer.
In the case ot Tassels, whnt side did our cu
temporary espouse ! Was he in favor of
yielding submission to the citation issued un
der a law ot the United States, in accordance
with the famous Iwenly-flfilt section us the ju
diciary act, ami advocated a refusal on the
part of Georgia, lo obey the requirements ol
the citation. It then Mr. Gilmer is a practi
cal uullilier and unworthy ul the confidence ot
the people, his accuser stands in the same pre
dicainont, and the charge fa Is lo Hie ground.
But what is the reason assigned for this
charge! Because he sutlers himself to he run
lor (ho office of Governor by the State Rights
parly? But do the Stale Rights parly alone
support Mr. Gilmer! Do they alone appose
Gov. S hley? How comes it, wo would
usk, that Gen. Glascock is opposed lo the
election of Gov. Schley? Why is Col. Wil
liam Gumming, Hie man who acted and wrote .
against the theory ol nullification,ami lo whom (
the Union party tendered, not only tho Exe
eculivo chair, hut a seal in the Senate ol the ‘
Unitdd States why is it, wc ask, that he loops 1
opposed lo Gov. Schley, ami in lavor of 1
George R. G.lnter! And why is it that n host
of other Union men are with them aiding in
the same object, the defeat of Guv. Schley,
and the election of George R. Gilmer?
Shall they be called practical mtllifiers, be
cause they are now found acting ncling with 1
the Slate Rights parly lo pm down a corrupt i
administration— to overthrow u subservient ,
party, and produce a wholesome reformation!
Arc we lo bo told that they are nullifiers,
when as it were, before a raging conflagration,
they are found humanely employed in hand
iug buckets of water alien to their political
adversaries, lo aid mjexiinguisl i ig the flames!
It so, we ask, the Standard ot Union and
the Federal Union, to make their accusa
tions equally as conspicuous against these
gentlemen as against Mr. Gilmer. We at
least pay those gentlemen the compliment,
lo believe that they are are prompted bv
a irue partnuisiin in then conduct; n > one
will pretend that they are interested wit
nesses. We must believe and so will the
people believe f there were no ptinciplcs in
i volved the success of which would jeopard the
| vital interests id Georg a, that Gol, Gumming
j and General Glascock, would not be found in
j uppostion lo what these presses assert to be
j the object ol the party. They are party men
j where principles ore involved; they have been
J ami are now of that political party, and these
i very presses once applauded their principles
when their services were over and over again
j solicited. Gan our contemporaries say why
i they are opposed to Gov. Schley, is not
their testimony in favor ot Mr Gilmer,a thou
sand times better than the evidence which wc
have shown must come from witnesses hav
ing a deep stake in the event of the cause.
Tu whom then will the people give ered
ance! We heaitatu nut tu asrert, that the
course of these gentlemen, who worship no
man, who arc the creatures of no junto or fac
tion, who are independent in their judgment
and action will weigh more with an intelli
gent people, than the volumes of al egation
uttered by those who sec m ihe defeat of their
favorite candidate for Govcnor, the downfall
’ ut their own hj|ie», and the termination of the
1 salaried offices they hold.

FOR GOVERNOR,
(>K»R(iE R. mii RERy
Wc call the attention of every merchant into
whore hands this paper may fall—yea, of every
intelligent and patriotic man, no matter what tho
character of hia employment or profession, who
looking beyond Ihe puerility of ephemeral party
triumpha, and soaring above the influence of the
agrarian and jacohinal dogmas of the day, looks
only to tho wellaro and happiness of our country,
and lire permanence of her political and social
institutions—wc entreat the earnest, serious and
dispassionate attention of all such,to the following
article from the Baltimore Chronicle of Friday
Inst, embracing two Ictleis from Andrew Jackson
laic President, to tho editor of the Globe, lican
well the language of those letters —mark lhci r
tone and temper—ponder upon the extraordinary
declarations and doctrines which they proclaim,
& if many who have sustained and supported that
unfeeling and ungrateful old men, through evil
as well os good report, do not find in 'hern suffi
cient cause to make them bile their bps with char
grin ami indignation, wc shall think that human
nature is reduced, in our boasted republic, to a
point of degradation, at which the feelings of the
freeman have departed, and the servility of the
slave has become predominant.
The authoritative tone of these letters show
plainly enough, that although Mr. Van Huron is
the President, yet Jackson is the rules! Like
the famous letter of Jessup, which produced the
recall and trial of Gen. Scott, they are addieased
to Francis P. Blair, editor of the Globe; hut no
man ran he such a fool as nut to sec that, like
that letter, they were intended to operate upon
the President. By him they have been published
to liolster up the new experiment which is ahouf
to be attempted, upon the currency, by tho ling,
merits of the popularity which tho name of Jack
son still retains amongst the people.
I,et us dissect these letters, and sketch briefly
the leading features which they present, and the
grand points which they make in the political his
tory of the limes. *
They substantially and effectually declare that
Ihe Deposit Bank system, the ouec boasted ex
periment of his own administration, must he
abaniluneil —and admitting thus the total and
complete failure of that system, they contradict
his own language in several of his messages, and
that of Mr. Secretary Taney in bis reports, in
both of which it was repeatedly declared that the
deposits hanks answered all tho purposes of tire
United States Bank, and furnished as good, if not
a bolter currency, than the country ever had be
fore!!
Il is declared that tho government should be
separated from all hanks; and that its revenues
should ho collected and disbursed in gold and ail
vor, by its own agents; thus creating each receiv
er and collector, and Postmaster throughout the
Union, a hanker ot the government to the extent
of his receipts and disbursements!
He denounces the deposite Banks, which he
himself lucl selected and employed, as guilty of
the* basest treachery ami perfidy ever recorded
in the listory of the world!" As actuated in
their suspension of specie payments “purely with
the view of gratifying Middle and the Mar
ingt,” and charges that, in so doing, it was their
intention “to iiedhauk, kmbannass asu uu In ,
IF TIIKf COI’LII, 111 Kill OWN COUNTIIT, tor the
selfish views of making large profils by throwing
out millions of depreciated paper upon the people
—idling their specie at large premiums, and
baying up their own paper at diicounh of
from 25 to 50 per cent."..'" Such is tho language
and such the words of Andrew Jackson! Deposit
hanks and hankers, one and all, from Maine to
Louisiana, from the Atlantic to the Mississippi,
you hoar the charge and you know tho accuser!
Arc j-c guilty or not guilty? The man who em
ployed you, accuses you ol crimes the most loul
and flagitious, and of corrup'ion the most gross
and flagrant! What say ye, have yo been treach
erous and perfidious! Andrew Jackson has said
it! Have ye liecomo the subservient tools of Bid
dle and the Barings? Andrew Jackson has writ
ten il!! Have yo sought to degrade and ruin and
embarrass your own country, for selfish and sor
did purposes! Andrew Jackson has proclaimed
ill!! The contest is between you and him. A
silent acquiescence, and a continued support of
Jacksoriism on your part, will lie tantamount to
a plea of guilty.—Choose ye your own course.
Wo proceed to notice one other point in these
extraordinary letters, in which il is declared that
“the bankt and Ihe MERCHAN TS iikskuvk
so FATOBS FBOM the government which they have
attempted to ditgrace!” Merchants of Augus
ta —of Georgia—of the Union—you hear the de
nunciation which is levelled at your honor, your
integrity, and your patriotism, by tho ex-Presi
dent, sud published in the official organ of his
successor! We shall not ssk what you will do,
or attempt to counsel what you ihould do, but we
trust for the honor of yous characters, that we
shall never behold any man who owns the name
of merchant, hereafter creeping to the polls like a
sycophantic slave, and hear it said, as he easts his
suffrage, “he 100 licks the fool that spumed him
and cigns, by his vote, the confession of his own
disgrace!”
MORE OF THE NEW EXPERIMENT.—
The Globe, received yesterday, devotes two col
umns to the currency, and introduces no less a
personage than the “Old Hkuo” himself, as the
dictator of the new Experiment, The watch
word is given:—“Down wits tux banks!” and
it will henceforth be the war cry of the Destruc
tives. We know that in thia(warfare against the
institution* of the country they will meet with
strenuous opposition from many of those who
have bcretolore acted with the parly. The oppo
sition of such.men wjß.jje disregarded—and the
only couree MI for them is to unite with the great
conservative Whig party of the country, ami,
meeting the Destructives al once, openly, boldlv '
and with the fearlessness of freedom, Wrest frem
hem the poster they now told id the government tk
od drive from office Ihe cxetwra and promoters ch
,f this Jacobinical spirit. In xha worst day aof tb<
b* French revolution no raoro malignant feeling
igainst particular clasaea waa encouraged by the ini
ctdere of that age of anarchy, than is attempted Ti
obe excited by these last letters from tho Her- a I
m, rbe Merchanti are denounced ih undisguised Ct
terms, and the deposite banks marked out as es- ei
pccial objects of hale. The officers of these ineti- w
lotions ere charged with a conspiracy “r» degrade pi
embarrath and rUin,it tbit cocld, their own th
country'." What asy you to this, you Van Buren m
Presidents and officers of Pet Bsnks? Ate you <b
guilty of the charge! Will you allow an old and T
—as we would fain hope for the office he once si
held,—an insane man—to make these charges fi
against you, without, for the sake of yourselves
and yoot children, meeting them on the threshold
and repelling a calumny worthy only of the tnfu- j (
riale bans culottes of the days of Robespierre? 0
We will see. \
The reading of these letters from Gen. Jackson
cannot hut awaken fearful forebodings for Ihe fu- ,j
tore. The tone, the circumstances, the manner j.
of their production and their peculiar stylo and j
language prove that they reflect the views of Mr, j
Van Buren, and arc the principles upon which >j
he will act. The time was not chosen without j
reason :—The elections in all the States, but one,
where members of Congress were to be chosen,
were over, or would he held on the very day on
which these letters were issued by the Globe.
They could hare, therefore, no effect on such 1
elections, and yet if the elections result favorably ,
to the Van Buren parly,it will be held to be con
clusive in favor of those very measures. The let (
ters arc introduced 100 in connection with Judge
While’s course on the Presidential question, by
wxy of showing that the people understood Mr. (
Van Buren to be their advocate when a candidate (
for the office he holds, and the very words of the (
letter indicate that he has now taken strong
ground in their favor. “I am proud to sec,” says (
one of the lellters, “the firm ami noble stand taken ,
by the Executive Government on this occasion,”
The time has indeed arrived when it becomes
necessary for the people to take ground on these
questions, and, in the language of the New York
Times, “to organize on the greatconscrvative ba
sis, between despotism on the one hand and mon
archy on the other.”
Extract of a letter from General Jackson to
the Editor of the Globe, dated
Hkumitaoe, July 9, 1837.
“Now is tho time to separate the Government
from all hanks—receive and disburse the revenue
in nothing hut gold and silver coin, and the cir
culation of our coin through all public disburse

—keep Ihe Government free from all embarrass

to trade upon its own capital, and the banks to

best units their own interests—both being money

alone to their own interests, regardless of all
other. It has been and ever will lie a curse to
the Government to have any entanglement or in
terest with cither, or more than a gcneial super

Heiimitaue. Ju'ly23, 1837,
Mr Dkah Sib: 1 have just received ,‘be Globe
of the 13lh, and am pleased to discover from it
and other papers that the democracy are uniting
upon the plan of separating the Government torn
corporations ot all kinds, mid to collect Ihe rev
enue keep and disburse it, by their own agents.
This uloue eatt - secure safely to our revenue, and
control over issues of paper by the State banks.
The revenue, reduced to the real wants of the
Government, payable in gold and silver coin, (no
credits,) to be disbursed by the Government in
gold and silver, will give us an undeviating me
lulic currency, prevent hereafter overtrading,
and give prosperity to all branches of busi
ness ; whilst the hanks and the commercial com
munity will be left to manage their exchanges,
and all matters between them, in their own way.
I hope amt trust that the whole democracy of the
whole Union will unite in adopting these mean
urea and the democracy of numbers will never ,
have another contest with the aristocracy of the
few and their paper credit system, upon which
they at present rely to rule the country. !

ting the hostile* that had surrendered to prove
Faithless.” •
Frem the Same-
As apprehended by us, accounts are coming
in which prove that actions disasters, the effects
of the gale of Saturday and Sunday have occurred.
We are indebted to Capt. Mills ol the steamer
Camden, arrived yesterday, for the following.—
The gale waa very severe at St. Maiys, in thia
Slate. Many out buildings, fences flee,, blown
downt On the Salillas the crops were very much
injured by the wind, and thereby inundated. —
The devastation has extended itself to the St.
Johns, on which river the crops are said to be
ruined.
From the same source we have heard of the
following casualties:
The steamer Chatham, ashore south end of
Amelia Island, in a had situation, across • log.—
The steamer McLean has gone to her relief.
Steamer Florida broke from her fastenings and
drifted upon a wharf at St. Marys, She has been
got off with little or no injury.
Sloop Bolivar, Richardson,drifted 9 miles into
the marsh, and lies 600 yards from the bed of the
river. Sloop Virginia, Chevalier, if in the same
situation nea by.
Steamboal'Charleston, parted her cables and
drifted ashore at the Sisters on the St. Johns.—
She has since been got off.
The steamer Forester, after having dragged
six miles over the marsh, is high and dry some
300 to 400 yards from Bulls river.
Schr. George & Mary, Willey, from Charles
ton, for St Augustine, was lost on Tuesday night
18tlx inat 12 miles North of St. Augustine—
crew saved.
Great apprehensions are entertained that the
srhr S. 8. Mills, for Charleston which left St. Au
gustine on Saturday with thirty passengers is
lost.
A schooner with a black bottom ashore on
Wednesday on Cumberland beach.
Brig Favorite drifted over St. Johna bar and

OUR ELECTION.
Our returns from Richmond, Moore and Robe
son counties, continue to exhibit a gain for the
Whig cause.
From Richmond we have tho poll in three
precincts, vix; Saurel Hill, Stewartsville, ami
Williamson’s, at which the aggregate vote was,
for Deberry 226, Belhune 35. In 1833,the vote
was, for Deberry 193, Bethune 65. Deberry’■
gain 33, Bmhune’s loss 30. Tola! gain 63.
From Moore we have seen a very intelligent
Van Boren man, who had heard from all the
precincts but three. He says Bethune’a majority
in the county will be about 350. In 1833, il
was 416.
From Combe Hand and Robeson the returns
are complete, vie
* Deberry, Bethune.
Cumberland, 300 868
Robeson, 342 648
Whig gain in these two counties, 171.
We led assucd of the re-election of Mr. Be.
berry by a much increased majority, say 7 or 800
voles.
From Raleigh, we rejoice to learn that a Grsham
has beaten Montgomery in Wake county 67
voles; and at three precincts in Orange he has a
majority of 124 voles—This contest will be ex
tremely close, and whilst we have hope, w* have
also much fear, for the result.
From the Wilmington District, we have only
a ftw sccttcring returns, but there is no doubt ol
the re-election of Oer. McKay, (Van,) by a
large majority over Gen. Miller, (also Van.)
J. A. Bynum is said to be re-elected in the
Halifax District, by a majority of 76 votes over
Col. Long (Whig.) In 1835, his majority was
242. Whigg-ain, 168.
Charles Shepard’s majority in Ihe Newhern Dis
trict is certainly upwards of 600. In 1835, that
District gave a majority of 767 against us!
In the Granville District, Hawkins is re-elected,
Hawkins (Van) 1949, JMacklin (do.) 805, Hen
derson (Whig) 762.

Ihe schr. Tantivy, fm New York for Mobile, and

who robbed her of all her provisions water, &e. I
even tsking the clothes off the backs of the men
of the Tantivy, and stabbing the Captain in the
head, and wounding two other men.
The Rhode Island reports further, that on the
3d inst. in lat. 31 27, long. 79 W,, spoke brig
Monument, of and for New York, and requested
her to keep company with hci until she got to
Cape Hatteras, which the Capt. of the M. refused
to do and bore away, leaving the Rhode Island
with the union down, the ship nn her beam ends
with 6 feet water in her hold and all her hands al
the pump. In the hope that her situation was
misunderstood, the weather being boisterous, a
board was exhibited on which was written in
large lelteis, 6 feet water in the hold. Notwith
standing all efforts, the Monument bore away
without rendering any assistance, leaving the
Rhode Island and crew to their fate.— Savannah

Philadelphia Banks.— The United States
Gazette, alluding to the report in circulation that
the Philadelphia Banks were soon about to re
sumc specie payments, says:—
“Perhaps we ought not to notice so perfectly
baseless and absured a rumor; and yet it is possi
ble that many who have not lime to examine or
reflect, may thoughtlessly give it credit. It may
not therefore be amiss for us to say, that not only
have none of our banks the least idea of a re
sumption of specie payments now, but that such
an attempt would be decidedly injurious. Tha
same reasons which made a suspension necessry
in the first instance, exist in full force now, and
it would be madness foi the Philadelphia Banks
to undertake to pay specie while all the Banks in
New York and throughout the country decline
doing so.”

The people of the South weet call our shilling,

to he called bill.

j called for lodging and was taken in Soon after
stopping informed me that he went either in the last
or first of the present year from New York to Flori

r after the expiration of w hich time he volunteered
for two months more, which had also expired, and
). he was trying to rotum to New York. Staled he
had lost a fine horse about fourteen miles from
hero, at a Mr James Williams of this county,where
his baggage was, and that Mr. Williams would be
up the next day to dinner, with a small waggon or
carriage, to assist him on his way as far ns Telfair
courthouse. But his baggage did not arrive in duo
e time, nor, indeed, at all; w Inch disappointment ho
seemed to regret, and wonder at very much. Spoke

j the delay to some providential cause. Alter two

to Mr Williams', nothing was there, not quite as
