igKjusjicc to the citizens of this place in parti

'■ uad to notice briefly the letter of Mr. Robert

" narks should properly have accompanied -that
/Mr, but were excluded fur want of room.
Mr. Campbell was appointed a Delegate to the
prevention, by a public meeting of the citizens
Augusta, and no doubt was apprised of that
ipiintmcnt and the object of the Convention,
, rd’yet he neither resigned, nor made any public
>j*ction to serving, lie was in attendance at
,*Uhurch during the session of the Convcn
an; his name was called and recorded as a
■ember, and published as such in the city papers
! the next day, and yet he neither through the
’resident of that body, or through tho public
ints, or in any public manner whatever, made
' «, objection to tho objects or proceedings of the
onvention, or to being considered himself a
ember of it ! Ho could have refused the ap
-/An (merit when it was originally made; he
% t*ld have resigned, or withdrawn from tire Con
s|'J|iiion ; he could have opposed the whole
; heme and had his protest recorded with the
jther proceedings; in a word he could have taken
5 i ■any ways to have signified his opposition. He
■ (iwever suffered his name to be announced, ro
irdcd and published as a member of the Con
,nation, attended its sessions and listened to its
•yoecedings, and making no opposition to any
f these things, left the impression that he acqni
„ raced in what was done ; and now, neatly a
yeek after the adjournment of that body, ho
announces through tho public papers that ho
icsircs it to be known that he “trok no part in
jjl,proceedings,” and denounces the objects" of
itp Convention, as “ abhorrent to all his ideas of
satrfatism !! ” Mr. Campbell has a perfect
enjoy whatever may bo his ideas of pat
lOtism, and we claim no right to interfere with
we claim for others (he same right, and
ho further right of defending their motives and
ondqct when thus publicly impugned. It is not
WO that the object of the Convention was to “sever
r commercial connections with tho North,
d substitute for them those of a foreign nation.’’
Ve dps ire to exclude nothing produced-or tnanu
jjetorid at the north, from our markets! we desire
to prevent no produce of the South from going to
northern markets! on the contrary wo desire a per
yijtuai interchange of commodities with each and
every portion of the Union, by which we may he
mutually benefited and enriched. We desire still
to sell to our northern friends, our cotton, ricc&
tobacco, to the full extent of their wants, and to
purchase of them every thing they may have to
sell which we desire to use; but there are many
articles. of foreign produce and manufacture, both
ot luxury and necessity, which wo are in (ho hab
it of using and for which we pay with the pro
ceeds of our cotton, rice, and tobacco. These ar
ticles arc chiefly imported into the United Stales
by northern merchants, ami re-shipped to the
sotilh-?-thcsc merchants purchase our cotton to
sell jn Europe to pay there for these goods—they
thus become factors for the our cotton and
purchase for us the goods we usel We now pro
pose to sell our cotton ourselves in Europe, and
purchase and import directly to our own shores
such foreign articles as we want. Is there any
thing unpatriotic in our doing sol Is there an?
wrodg Ui it! Is it unjust? nay, is it oven uukind-
It is a mere matter of economy, and if we can
save’Sny thing by it, it is our duty to do so. If
we can save the commissions upon tho sale
and purchase, and tho profits of intermediate
buyers and sellers, are we not right in doing so ?
Ifonilieconl.ary our northern friends can do
these things for us cheaper than wo can do them
ourselves, we shall not be long in finding out
that it U labor thrown away and the enterprizo
will bo abandoned- Wo ask il the planter oflhe
up country has not a perfect right to bring his
own Cotton to Augusta and sell it himself and
buy [his Groceries, instead of paying a Commis
sion Merchant to do it for him ? If he can do
hotter with it by going to Savannah, can the mer
chant of Augusta complain ? No ! Tho cases
are analogous, and yet according to Mr. Camp
hell’s ethics, the planter would be committing
an outrage “abhorrent to all his ideas of patriot
ism.” If it is right for the merchants of the north
tdscll Cotton m Europe and import goods, we
itsk in the name of common sense and common
justice il it is not equally right for tho merchant or
the planter of the South to do the same ? Oh
no, says Mr, Campbell, any attempt to tiring
about such a state of things, is an object, “abhor
rent to all my ideas of patriotism !”
Wo have perhaps attached more importance
(l 6 this matter than il deserved ; it has not been
with the hope of convincing Mi. Campbell, but for
the purpose of placing this matter correctly be
fore the country. If that gentleman had confin
ctljiimself to a simple disclaimer of having agreed
to-lhc acts of the Convention, there would have
been nothing improper in it; but when he makes
that‘disclaimer in a scornful lone and follows R
, hip-with a denunciatory lecture upon patriotism,
Re bares himself to tho lash of satire, from the
fnorited slings of which he escapes in considera
tion alone of his being a private citizen.

On Sept, 38, it was ascertained that Captain
Jluggclt (.ui Englishman,) of the Belli. Polly,
then lying at Jacksonville, I a., had been making
a boast of his Abolition principles to Mr. h. on j
board a steamboat. This informal on reached ;

Pursuant to the above, tho throe individuals—
- S.F. R***,A. S* *******■* and L. R****•**•*,
above alluded to, strolled forth after night and cn

on the subject of his vile principles, be was ralli

MR, KlNh’tS SPEECH,
c f Concluded.)
t In connexion with these perpetual efforts to
h frighten us with ghosts and “things that arc not,”
Mr. K. said he had nevei had his democratic feel
a ings so shocked as they had been by a sentiment
s of tho Senator from South Carolina, (Mr Calt
e houn,) warmly applauded by his friend near him,
c (Mr Strange.) Wo were told that though ea
/icdienl,\\'B should not make this State hank a de
pository, “because it would be a triumph over the
e Government? The‘-Government” at the Hcr
a milage, or the Government at the White House?
i. These Governments wore both, tojie sure, suppo-
B sed to ho inimical to the present Slate bank, be
cause they did not like Mr Biddle, its president,
’ who was formerly president of the national insti
e tulion. But wliut had tho Government had to
b do with the present Stale institution ? He hud
a supposed, until lately, that tho Government meant
the legislative power, as established by the Con
stitution ; and if the people through their repre
sentatives, according to the forms of the Conslilu
- lion, should deem it expedient to make any State
$ institution a depository, it would he no objection
, with him that either the exPresidenl, or present
Executive, runs supposed lo be inimical to one
of its officers. Ido not propose (said he) to
1 make this inst.lution a depository, and nobody
3 has proposed or thought of proposing it, so far as 1
I know. Why, then, this warwhoop against it? 1
! To show our devotion to the supposed Executive
will 1 “A change, what a change,” has been
produced in the lone of American feeling by those
f violent encroachments and recent triumphs of
t the Executive over the Legislative authority, in
relation lo the finances! All eyes are turned 10
the Executive. The spirit of our fathers has fled.
1 Tho blood of’76 has run out. Sir, there have
1 been more gray hairs brought upon the head of
I our youthful and vigorous republic in tho last
j four years, than ought to have grown upon it in 1
one entire century of quiet and peaceful adminis
r (ration, with tho constitutional cooperation of the
■ legislative departments.
’ My friends need not he astonished at the free
dom with which I express these sentiments.
s They believe with mo, they have acted with me.
We have vainly stood up together against the '
1 will of the Executive. Our efforts have been im
potent. We have been trampled under foot. 1
1 The Executive has had his way, and we sec the
_ result. I only wish my friends to join mo in
taking ,a firm stand to teach the Executive that '
' his friends are to bo consulted in measures of 1
■ such immense importance to the People as those
i by which our finances have been ruined. I have I
! no idea of deserting them, sir; they need not ap- 1
prehond that. lam only expressing freely son- '
timents I and they have entertained, and not very '
carefully concealed. lam a party man, sir. All 1
I am as a politician I was made so by parly. I 1
have no sympathies witli any other party except 1
that with which I have always acted,and by which 1
I have been honored. I respect my politician op- (
ponents as my fellow citizens, living under the 1
same laws, subject to the same Government, and 1
equally honest and patriotic with myself. But I ‘
differ with them in some of the essential and fun- 1
damenlal principles upon which our Government 1
should be administered, and have nothing lo ask,
and nothing to expeat from them.
lam a democrat, a real democrat. I do not c
make the profession ad captandum ; I fear it is v
becoming rather unpopular; but my early habits 1
and youthful associations made me so. In fact, 1
the sentiment was planted in my heart nature, a
cultivated by education, and approved by reason. v
I believed a democratic Republic to he the most I 1
philosophical government, and beast calculated to 1 J
dcvclopo the energies and sustain the dignity of 1
man, so long as the People have sufficient Intel-
ligcnce to qualify, them for self government. I, '
therefore, abhor tyranny and irresponsible power ®
in every possible form in which it can he presen- J
ted ; whether it be presented in tho hypocritical
garb of republican homespun, or tinselled over in 1
tho glittering trapping of royally. I go for a 1
strict construction of the Constitution, limited '
Executive patronage, and an economical admiuls- e
(ration of the Government ; and you will never I
find me here, sir, with democracy and economy 1
upon the lips,and tyranny and plunder in tho -:
heart. “1 borrow no false liveries from heaven '
to serve the devil in.”
Mr K after some further remarks, concluded v
this branch of the subject, by saying, that he had 1
full confidence that the President, when some c
present uillicullics were removed, would adminis- *
ter his department with wisdom and patriotism, v
and he hoped and expected to be able to give him 1
his feeble support. But be just wished lo tell s
him now, that if he intended “lo tread in the foot- ’
steps” of his predecessor in trampling on the leg- I
islativa authority’, in the management of a sub- 1
jecl ofall oth rs of the most importance to the
People, he should feel it his duly to jostle him out I
of them. He never would consent, ho said, to '
surrender the finances to the exclusive control of '
the Executive. If we did this, vve should first ‘
hecomea nation of heggais, and then a nation of 1
slaves. !
V
Mr. K. said he had boon led on to a length
altogether unexpected to himself, and he feared |
tiresome lo the Senate. Several oilier topics had j
been suggested by the remarks of other gentle- '
men, that he would like to touch, but he would ]
■ dispense with ibem, and come lo a conclusion,
I after a few words more upon the hill and amend- ,
, menl under consideration. As lo the separation '
from the ■‘Mate banks as depositories, ho concciv
* cd that a matter of no great consequence, if in
1 the details we could provide safety lo the money,
and guard against 100 much patronage and ex
pense. But, the bill he thought imperfect and
' obscure on both these points. And when we
‘ had passed the hill, we should have but little i lea
of what we had done.
As lolhe amendment proposed, which restrict
ed the receipts of the Government to gold and
a silver, he could never consent lo think of it,
w ithout hearing from his constituents, so long as
1 specie is not the summon currency, used liylhc
> Popple in the business transactions of the coun
try. They are never prepared with a currency
| not in common circulation, and would often
j and truly ho reminded of tho Roman quie
i tors, who were in the liajiit, among olhc.*
acts of tyrranny, of demanding parlicnJur kind,
of money for the purposes ol extortion. Here
11,000 specie gatherers, demanding a currency
net furnished the People by tiit-ir own Slates, or
by the ordinary circulation, will give them more
trouble than all their other pecuniary transactions,
and, being different to the demands made upon
them for eiiale taxes, will givo lo the Federal
Government an alien character of tyiAnny and
oppression. He could not conceive, he said, of a
measure better calculated to give to the Govern
ment cf the Union the appearance of a foreign
Government, anti alienate the affections olThc
People from it, than the measure proposed.
But wo are told that the Government only
demands the constitutional currency, and there
fore only asserts a right. This ts true, sir; but
is it the part of practical wisdom lo exert all the
power we have, and assert all the rights wo claim?
Every man has a right lo demand specie at ail
times for every sale he makes, mid for every debt
due him. But suppose every body were to do
it, whilst paper is the common currency, what
would bacoma of tho country?
Suppose all the merchants ofa single city were
to suddenly demand specie for all dues from their
customers for sales made and to he made, they
would only assert a right: and yet what would bo
the result? Tho effect would be such upon their
debtors, and dealers, that they would probably
mob the merchants out oflhe city. You propose
that the government shall do that with the people
which people dare not do with each other. Look
at the conduct of tho people towards the hanks
ever since they have stopped payment, and specie
is at a largo premium: do they assert their rights,
though they have every inducement lo do
so? I will refer to my own State as a strong
argument lo dissipate theoretical bean ies by
practical consequences. There the banks arc by
law compelled to pay 18 per cent, on a refusal to
pay specie. They are good, and every bill holder
could get his principal and his 18 per cent in
specie, if he were to demand and insist on it. —
No man of capital could make so good an invest
ment as to get a large sum in Augusta hank hills,
make a demand, and hold them till the bank
resumes specie payments. Yet nobody docs
this; and why? Because they are all friendly to
banks? Not at all, sir. It is because the fare
rightened at a viewjf the consequences, and
yield their own to the interests oflhe community.
They know that if specie is forced from tho
hanks, the hanks will have to force it from the
merchants, and the merchants from the planters
and the great mass of consumers; and before the
matter wound up, its effects would ho equal lo the
confiscation of one third of the properly of tho
country. The laborious and industrious classes
constitute the debtor class, which are much the
most numerous, and much the most needy. On
this class the sacrifice would ultimately full. The
benefits would bo confined to a few creditors,
capitalists, and money lenders. And the measure
you propose (said Mr. K.) will operate precisely
in the manner I have described, though perhaps
not to the same extent. Il will do to talk about
and spoak about here, and some people may think,
well of it, whilst they think il is only going to
put tho merchants to a little trouble; but when
they find, from experience, that the merchants
are only their factors, and the operation falls on
them, they will bo prepared for a more practical
view of the subject.
Mr. K, said lie was, to be sure, opposed to the
hanking system, particularly its abuses. But the
people had established il, become accustomed to
it, and it now seemed necessary lo their business
and prosperity. He saw no reason or expediency
in taking away the discretion of the Secretary
of the Treasury to receive the notes of specie
paying banks when they resume, disburse them
for government purposes at tho points where
collected, and call on the hanks for balances,when
necessary for transfers of the Government funds
from tho points where collected, to the points
where needed.
Mr. K. hero commented upon tho estimates
which tho Senators from Missouri and North
Carolina hac pul upon current bank hills, and tho
losses which the hill holders had sustained by
the suspension of specie payments. They seem ■
cd lo estimate the actual value of a bank bill by
the proportion which the specie in the vaults of
the hanks bore to the aggregate of circulation
and deposites ; as though the banks had no other
means to pay their liabilities but specie. In this
way tho Senators make out the loss of the Peo
ple by the banks to bo immense. Could there ho
any advantage in propagating oirors so palpable?
As a practical question, so far from the hill hol
ders having lost, they had generally gained by
the suspension. Mr. K. here discussed the na
ture and purposes of money. Money, said he,
represents commodities. Its uses are lo com
mand them at pleasure, and circulate them with
convenience. Whatever answers this purpose,
answers the purposes of money. Its value de
ponds on tho quantity of commodities il will
command, and this again depends on tho relation
which tile quantity of money bearsto the quanti
ty of commodities.
Tho active circulating medium has been great
ly reduced in quantity since the suspension, not
only by withdrawing specie from circulation,
which lias become a commodity, but by a rcduc
liou of hank paper, and hence it is that current
bank paper is now much more valuable than gold
and silver was before the suspension, whilst tho
whole currency, both paper and specie, was de
preciated by its redundant quantity. Are tho
passions and picjudices of men to bo wrought
upon when their senses may direct them? Do
we not know as an admitted fact, that current
hank hills arc more valuable now than before the
suspension? Let mo askjone of these suffering
bill-holders what he wishes to do with his money
which lie held at the time of the suspension? Docs
he owe a debt? If so, his creditor will be glad lo
receive il, and expects nothing else. Does he
wWltohuy provisions for his family? If so, he
gets them cheaper than he could before the sus
pension of sped - payments. Does ho wish to buy
real estate er stocks? If so he can get them from
30 to 50 per cent, cheaper than he could before
the suspension of specie payments. In short,
there is no purpose fur which money is used, for
which bills arc not now more valuable to the hol
der than before the suspension, whilst the whole
currency was depreciated by its quantity, except
for the payment ofa foreign debt. Those, then,
who clamor most about their losses have lost
nothing, but generally gained. The merchants
susiain tho whole loss that is sustained, for they
receive il from their debtors at par, and have to
pay a premium lor specie lo pay their foreign cred
itors.
Strictly and logically speaking, Mr. King said
paper was nova depreciated, when compared now
witii silver, by the amount of premium on specie
oecause wo had no other legal standard lo goby.
All he meant to say was, that paper was more
valuable now than specie was before the suspen
sion, and, therefore, tho holder had lost nothing.
So glaring was the fallacy of estimating the loss
of tho community by tho difference between the
amount of specie in their vaults and the liabilities
ol the banks, that the community owed the banks
more than the banks owed the community. Each
has a right to claim specie; and witli a little lime
for adjustment, the banks could settle every dollar
against them without n dollar in specie. He did
not wish to be understood as advocating or even
apologizing for an irredeemable bank paper; it
was too precarious, and subject to fluctuation.
But, as practical legislators,we should view things
as they arc, and be could see no expediency in
endeavoring lo impose such fallacies on an alrea
dy excited community.
Mr. K. concluded by saying that he had no
wish lo postpone discussion, and, therefore, was
indifferent as to the present fate ofliis motion.—
But as lie did not like either project, as presented,
and wished time to digest a better, he could not
consistently make any other motion, and,tbcre
forc,moved the postponement of the whole subject
lo the first Monday in December next.
Emm the Charleston Min im/
, TUULIU MEETING.
At a largo and respectable meeting of the citi
zens, convened on Satimluy morning last’, at the
City Hall, bis Honor Henry L. I’incknoy, May
or of the City,was called lo the Chair, A W ill.am
Aikin requested to act as Secretary. Tae Mayor
having slated the object of the call upon the
. citizens, Col. Arthur P. liayno rose, and address
ed the meeting in a very warm and impassioned
manner, and concluded by offering a set of Re
solutions, and after being read uyjtbi Chair, Josh
ua V/. Toomcr, Esq., requested tho ’mover to
withdiaw them, which ho did, and Mr. Toomcr,
after making some very appiopriute and feeling
remarks, proposed the following Preamble and
Resolutions, which were seconded by James G.
Holmes, Esq., and unanimously adopted:
When the feelings of a w hole community are
agonized by a sudden ami unexpected calamity
—and when their sorrow is mingled with a just
indignation under the belief that the immediate
cause of their affliction is to he traced lo the guil
[ ly negligence of man—it is right and proper that
the people should moot together to condole with
the bereaved—to inquire into the true cause of
the disaster, and lo take such measures as may
afford some safeguard against the recurrence.
, The citizens of Charleston are now clotbej in
■ mourning, by the recent shipwreck of the Steam
. Packet Home, on her last voyage from New
, York to this port. They can oiler no consola
tion to those who mourn (heir departed relations
• and friends—save that which is to bo found in
j the promise and hope of Religion, and the
heartfelt sympathies of their fellow men.—But
under the dictates of benevolence and prudence,
, they would endeavor by a judicious course of
. conduct, to prevent as far as in them lies—the
recurrence of a similar calmily from the criminal
, neglect of men, who, eager in tho search after
money, forget the value of life, and feel no re
sponsibility in honor]or in conscience for the safe
ty of those, who confide in their faith and skill.
The reckless disregard of human life, observable
in the conduct oflhe owners and officers of Steam
Vessels, has almost become a national reproach.
It is high lime, that the united voice of die people
should be raised against this crying evil. The
occasion which now convcno-s (he people of Char
leston, allow that voice lo he no lunger still. Be
it therefore.
, Resolved, That the citizens of Charleston len
der to the friends of their lamented countrymen,
who were recently lost by the shipwreck of tho
boat “Home,” their warmest sympathies, and de
plore the loss of the community in the death of so
many valuable and enterprising cilizons,
2d, That a Commitlee of twenty-one he appoin
ted lo inquire into the character of the late Steam
Packet Home, ami the conduct of her comman
der on the recent voyage, and also lo examine
the character and condition of the Steam Packets
now in tho trade, and further lo suggest such
measures as being adopted by the people, may
lead to some protection against similar calamities.
3d, That the Committee solo bo nominated,
shall make their report as early as possible to the
Honorable the City Council, who are hereby re
quested to publish the same, and carry such of its 1
recommendations as may need their action, into
effect, on behalf of the ci.lz .-ns,
HiSjHonor the Mayor, asked permission to ap
point the Committee of twenty-one after the ad
journment of the was granted,— ■
when the Hon. Alfred Huger arose, and in an elo
quent and very impressive manner addressed the
citizens, and offered the following Resolutions:
Be il therefore Resolved, That all suggestions
tending to give safety to the citizens of Charles
ton, and to the stranger who visits our shores, so
far as their transportation is concerned, should
properly am! equally emanate from this meeting.
Resolved, That the custom, now almost uni
versal, of publishing “Cards,” in commendation
of packet vessels Coming to our waters, oi of tho
Captains who commatld them, is inexpedient and
pernicious; because the ilierc performance of a
voyage is no evidence of the Illness of a vessel—
and the lucre escape from suffering, is no evidence
of courtesy orthc skill of her commander, because
such expressions of approbation, resulting more
frequently from their feelings, than from any oth
er cause, are calculated lo excite confidence before
it is earned, and ensure patron igo before it is
deserved,
Therefore, Resolved, Thai this meeting earn
estly recommend lo the whole people of Soulh
Carolina, and of the United States, hereafter lo
abstain from any annunicalion of their feelings or
opinion opon this subject, except in cases where
extraordinary merit and execution, clearly estab
lished, shall entitle any individual lo their praise, 1
or where delinquency or neglect, shall entitle '
others to their censure. J
Those resolutions wore put and unanimously ,
adopted. •
Tho Rright Rev. Bishop Enoi.avh, and his '
honor Judge Axsus, made some very happy and
important remarks upon the foregoing resolu
tions. j
The honorable Judge Lkb then proposed the
following resolution, which was unanimously s
adopted: 1
Resolved, That until the Legislature or Con- i
gri ss make the necessary regulations on this deep- ;
ly interesting subject, that the City Council be ,
requested to appoint one or more mechanics, and s
one or more experienced ship-builders, whose du
ty il shall he, immediately on tho arrival ol a
steam boat from Norfolk, Baltimore, Philadel- '
phia, New York, or from any other port or place,
bringing passengers, to visit her, and minutely and 1
particularly to examine tho machinery of such *
boat, her hull and other equipments, and to cer- I
tify to the master, that she is, or is not sea worthy.
And that it be earnestly recommended to the cili- I
zens and others, not lo go lo sea in any steamboat, i
unless the master produces such certificate of her ,
sea worthiness. /
On motion, the meeting was adjourned.

OBITUARY.
Life to the aged and afflicted, is but a dreary
pilgrimage, which at its close, releases the im- j
prisoned spirit horn its frail and wearied tene
ment. To such, death is a sweet and long repose, j
a sleep fiorn which ivc wake not again lo ihc ,
cares and turmoil of this world ol wo. But i
when the relentless hand of death, strikes at (
youth,and worth, and beauty ; and the bright j
eye, that beamed but yesterday is closed for ever; i
and swift as the lightning’s Hash, the object ol
our affections, is torn from us, grid is irresistible ,
and the heart must have its vent. For there is j
a mournful consolation, in ministering lo the last
wants of those we love, to know that all human •
aid was given to shield the victim from the dcs- ,
troyci’s dart —lor who can smooth affliction’s
pillow, like a mother ? whoso bosom like hers,
lo support [the drooping head, and in tho lan- (
guage of early affection whisper hope, while even ,
she who utters it is conscious of its fallacy? Hut
when far from home, amid the howling of the
storm, the darkness of night, and the despairing
cries foi [mercy, we picture to ourselves a young
and helpless lining, with no brother, no friend to
cling 10, with all the buoyancy of youth, which
sucli must feel, and learn the sad result that she
is lost forever, who among those acquainted with
her virtues, and her worth, can resist the tribute
ofa tear to her memory ?
The sulqect of this Obituary, Miss C» mtiiia 11
[ Stow, was born intbe beautiful village ot Genera,
N. Y., and after having received a finished cduca
t lion, determined upon locating herself nt the
Boulli, and (exercising as an Instructress, those (
lull'll!*, which she possessed to an eminent degree
w 'iih llio magnanimous resolution of rclicvuif
11 moo, whose prospects misfortune had Wishful
Sire left all vbo were dear to her, (he scenes ol
her childhood, and at an early ago, when the
heart most clings to our parents and out
homes,, she arrived a stranger in this place.
But one so gifted, so worthy of uurdiospilality,
could not lung remain so, for to know her, was to
esteem her; and wo can safely asseit, that no
individual ever enure among us, who won so
largo a share of oar love, respect, and esteem, nr
did this young and innocent being. Grateful, for
the kindness bestowed upon her, she viewed Au
gusta ns her second home, and after a sojourn
ot four years, and only when the cravings of a
fond heart to view again the venerated faces ol
her parents, and also, receive their final blessing,
lhal she determined to vi it her beloved home;
and oh, Iho joy that met her there, the benign
smile of her aged parents, the heartfelt embrace of
brothers, sisters and friends, who can describe the
emotions of such a scene; hut we 100 frequently
tread on flowers even unto the brink of the
grave—short-lived has been their hafqincss. After
passing a few brief months with her friends, she
left. New York in the ill-fated “ Hume ,” and on
the dreadful night of her sh’pwrock, within hut
one hundred yards of the shore, she perished. It
is a mournful consolation to her bereaved kindred
and friends, to know that her body was the next
day recovered, and was by the charity and kind
ness of a stranger, with several others, decently
interred. May her pure spirit be received in the
bosom of her God!!! .

increased, no doubt some small advance would lake
place, ns a prospect for rain would advance onr
market 11 a 1-2 peril), ashy a rise in the river,freight
would decline from its present high rales. Gar plan
ters sell as soon ns they get their eotlon to ninrke |
many'baving suffered severely from storing last year.
Wo now quote for now cotton 91 a 101 els. as tbo ex
tremes of the market and tiir old 51 a9l cts.; a few
bales have Item disposed of at a fraction above our
highest quotation.
Groceries —The trade with tbo country now
being heavy Ih« demand lor most of the lending ar
ticles in this line has been quite animated, and us
ourstocks are now good, our country merchants
find no difficulty in supplying themselves with vvltul
they want without seeking any other market; —a lot
of canal Hour was sold on the wharf at sl2 cash —
