EDGEP IEI_. 1I. - T UnMDAY, 4i.Ar L 12. 1838. Ciarieste and Cimimatti Ruil Road.-W e arereqested to state, for tie informtatmi of tihe holdets1of this stpei, that, although tie time pre. scribed in the into ciremlar of the President of the Company, for tie pavyment of the second in. stahnlieit of $5 oil each share, has expired, said instamment, if tendered in a reasonable time af ter this notice, will be received by the Commis simners of this pice until further instructions. lills of tie several Banks of South Carolinn will be received in payineit. Filo Fronin.-The latest arrivals taring us intelligence of the murder of two nmen, Thomas Cochran and J. Ilogim, by the Indians nmear Mi canopy. The troops at that, Post, on heniring the frigim, made an ineterctual pursuit. Since our last, we lave received die remarks of Mr. Calhoun on the engrossmnent of-AMr Wright's bill, as amended by striking out the specie scetion. It is short, but uncommnionly u. ble $amd comprehensive. We will give it in our next. Some few of the presses'unriendly to Air. Callioun, have umide his vote oi this occasini another pretext for the cry of inconsistency. They stay, to have been consistent, lie should have voted for it. We don't understand this lo gic. Certainly lie would have been faiir gime if he had voted for it. anfer the only section which separated de Government and the biiks was stricken out. IIounever, 'tis no use to talk to such people. A late numer of the Riclunond Whig fairly expresses, we think, the sentimnents of a large miajority of the people, in the following coin Iment: "THE Sun-TmE.tsURv Bir.r., As AMtiir.. Ir. Cualhoumi's S peech n the amemded Sub Treasury Bill as it passe elie Senate, will attract uttention. It is at clear exposition of imnswer able objections to the Wretced iabortion of the partv. It exhibits the absurdity aid hilly oftes tablishing safemvaults, Receivers Generil, SRI Treasurers, &c. to keep baik notes, and it dis plays, in a strong point of view, the inercase of jower and mtromage wic-h hilie bill cmoifirt upon thte Executive, by enabling him to control he banks. As relresetmted by him, and we believe truly, the syistem proposed by the bill, is more corrupting, and in every aspect in which it imay be regarded, more objectionable, than the elphl ded elt Scheme. Ti pariieille of divorce, time only feature of tie original bill whic ha md miny elnnmi to merit, is rejected, and a gigantic tuau chinory of corruption substituted in its place." "We think sone of omr Whig cotemporaries alive been illiberal in their comments on Ailr. Calhoun in respect to his vote against- the Sub-. - Treasury bill in& its presentsimpe. Ilis conduct on that occasion, as far na we have before ob served, proved that lie acted from principle, and not from party; and reginiring as it (lid a high de gree' of moral courage, deserved any thing rath er than censure. The course of the party made him realize his anticipation, that there were imen 'in whose wisdom, firmness and patriotism lie hnd no reAson to confide,'amid, as soon as ie dis covered 'that, lie abandoned themi and stood alone." 'The Wilgna pamed. mibeare to us to be the elid of no body. . It received a nuijorigjF dte votes of the Senate, and yet it Is a mongrel something for which no one seems to have a par ticular affection. It is spurned by Calhoun, who goes for a divorce, because it falls short ofit. kicked by Clay and Webster, because it does not give its a nat'onal bank, of course impala table to Rives and his conservatives, amid it is -runnored, will be vetoed by Mr. Van Butreni, if it - ever comes before him. Tii dien is time glori ous resultof all the9 learniing amid eloquenecc amnd argutnmint and sarcasm, which hamvc beemn poured out for mioths past, in suchm rich and botunicoums profusio.

I muake this communimi caion to you in no light mianner, but unader a uhorough conviction that a crisis, deep wvith thme A fate of these States, is rapidly approachimig, and, m the language of Holy Writ, is 'eveni at dhe '-dror.' Your extenisive reading amid close per sonal observattionis have long taught yomu, that all tihe revolutionsof man, as wvell its time consionsI~i of natuire, have becn precedled by signis, oflen~ smuall and disregarded in time beginmning, lbut in. eenasing in magnitude iand attenitioni as thecy ap. proachthde conmsummam~tion ofthecir destiny.

Now, sir, these fnatics boast efbeing 300,000 strong, and that within about fonr qr five years from their commencement; and Mr. Adamis, contenpltible as we know he insist be is every portion of the country, can cOsmnissand the peti tions of thirty or forty thinsand of these delud ed crusaders; and! Mr. Clay, himself a slave holder, in his eager purisuit of the Presidency, cower beneath their strength, gives theis a side bow in his assault on Mr. Calhoun, aid in some of hiis own suistitute resolutios, evidently in tended to secure their patronage. If then, in so short a timie, they Irave attained such power und influence, what may we expect front their ine'rensed numbers in a-few years more I Sir, the people of tIse slave States must stand upon, their iglhts. Who but a ind mazna e-nn doubt that a dissolution of the Union must be tie con sequence, or we must submit to a state of things far more intolerable than slavery itself, unless God in his mercy averts the blow by a dispen sation of his providence, little short of an an cient mairacle ? It has been but a few years since Garrison, Tappan, and a few others, commene ed this unholv crusade agaisit our rights and institutions. Their petitions were' few and fee be, with not as zany signers as they have at this time distinct societies ; but now they have assimced a bold and daring front,and will case by States. Vermont has already marshaled her firces and assailed the federal smetropolis, aid in a few years more, these finatics will control tme political destitny of this country. No wan to tihe North of. 3ason's and Dickson's line enn have a sent on the floor of Congrees, but as the champion and defender of abolition; and a Pre. sident of the U.

Sir, we must rely upon our own strength, and I again reiterate that a sepniration of these States ap peare inevitable, and nso man will regret the dreadful necessity iore than the writer of this article. More tsan twoyears ngo I gave my views to the public, recommending a Conzveiitionu, ins which all theslave States should be represent ed. I have since seen nothing to weaken that opinion, but much to strengthen it, and to%% hies the slave States must ultimately come. The obje< t of uition is, in all cases, to bensefit tle parties united; but whenever it becomtes a curse, it his not only failed in its object, but ias a mas. elievocus tendency, and therefore ought to be abolished. I a aware of the disadvantages of a separation, but I am in this emergency, as in every other, for emsbracinsg the less and a; voiding the greater evil. -Could we enjoy in penee the rights secured to us by the Constitu tion, I for ose would say, "Union forever." llt, sir, it w'll be a dear and bitter union to us, iftke only conditioni on whies we shall be per witted to enjoy it,is the loss of our most valna ble property, -nud this propetty turned loose among tie, like so many hingry wolves to de votr our remaining substance, and filled with all the malice which could possibly grow out of their pnst condition. I have said that a sLeparation of these States appenrs inevitable. I will nowy give yot the grounds on whicl that opsinions is formted.

Real Estate.--The value of real estate continues to enhance in our city, and rent are still on, the rise-and the prospects ol laudholders ate of the nost flattering-char aeter.. ; That' I Lts, on East Bay street, op. pomie the Battery, but a short time since a lmud pond, and a nuisance to that vicinity, sold ydsterday by Eliott & Condy, Aue tioneers, brought the followinet prices Lot No. 1, $5.750 -, lot 1Jo. 2, ,0Q5; lot No. 3, $5,100; lot No 4,83,650; lot~No. 5, $4,100; lot N6. 6, 35,900; lot No. 7, 83, 100; lot No. 8, $5,100; lot No. 9, 4,600. Total, $44,250. A portion of the above lots, purchased snme 18 months ago, of the estate of Wightnan, by tihe City, 'for $16,000, has now realized $24,550, a profit of 9,550 on the purchase. The noble block of new brick stores, in Pearl street, opposite the new Hotel, are all or nearly all rented to wholesale mercants at $1,500 to $2,000 rent per annum. Otte of the stores, we understand, has been sold, by the enterprizing proprietors for 822,000 'I he stores in the basement story of the Ho tel, on Pearl-street, are, we learn, to be oc cupied by retailers. APALACILCOLA, March 19. Sale of Lots.-The third sale of Lots by the Apalachicola Ltand Company was held during the last week. The result has veri licd our predictiou that "there would be no depreciation in the value of Lots." Not withstanding the general embarrassment of the country, the great pressure of the money market, yet the prices of 1836 and '37 have been sustained. In the improved parts of the city, and on streets which have been graded, lots sold for nearly double what contiguous lots were purchased for last year And generally in the neighborhood of im provements, a iery considerable advance has been experienced, while remote lots have fully held their own. The amount of sales has been $42,615, 00, mostly dwelling lots, attd to persons contemplating early improvements, but few business lots were offered. Among the improvements soon to be commenced, is an Episcopal Church. The funds for a beautiful edifice have already been raised. A lot also for a Roman Cath olic Church has been purchased, and at rangements are making for erecting a suit able building. Measures have also been taken for the erection of a Baptist Church. A lot was aipropriated two years ago for a Presbyterian Church, and measures are in progress to advnnce the interests of that do nomination. ' Applications, we understand, for plats of ground suitable for extensive mechanical works, such as ship yards, foundriese:&c. have been made. and from !he known dis position of the Land Campany to accom modate these valuable branches of indus try, we hope and believe they will be estab lished. The sales were adjourned after the second day. 1". S. Since writing the above we have been informed that Messrs. Rolterts, Allen & Co. iave purchased in thle neighbour hood of their present location, and intend to establish an fros Foundry. uitLADELPIIIIA, March 26. Mutiny.-We are informed by an officer of the service, lthat a serious mutniy occurred two or three days since at the Naval Asy. lutm on the Schuylkill, in which the pen sioners were engaged against the officers of the establishment, who were locked in close confinement by their assailants. The com mander of the Asylum we learn, was se verely itnjured. M~eans were at last found by the prisoners to comtmunicate news 01 their cotndition, to tlte officers at the Nay Yard,-whereupon a lieutenant andl somte troops were despatched to the rescue. Thtey succeeded in quelling the mutitty; atnd, ta king the leaders into their custody, contvev ed thtem to the Sea Gull, lying off thteYarnd, where they are ntow safe in durar~ce, await ing judlgment.-Gmette. Thme Algonguin.--We learn from the N. York Express, that this packet was insured Iltst week at some of tlte Wanll street offles at thte rate of 74 per cent. She had a very diflicult passage hither--as may be gleaned frotn a few particutlars,witht which we have bseen politely furttished by Mr. Coffee of the E xchtange.

We give below time official account of at outrage on our flag, which calls for tn promptest and severest retribution. Whik the steamer Columbia. Capt. Wright, wan on her Way hither from Velasco, with It "stripes and stars" flying at her mast head, she was intercepted by two Mexicaii ships ol ,war, who fired upon her repentedly, and, hui for the decided conduct of Uipt. Wright, would have compelled her to stop, if not submit. Before we give the official account, we will state some information we have from a well informed and intelligent friond, wh was on board the Columbia. Sonic six ,veeks ago, a schooner put into Galveston island apparently in distress. She had a large number of passengers, prienipally Mex scans ,and Spamaiirds, who were permitted to visit the naval station at the Island. Some of these parties, it is pretty well known, communicated the particulars to tie Mexican Government; and there is a moral conviction arising from the flacts already known. and from the very large number of men on board the two attacking ves-sels. that it is the intention to land a force on the asland, and burn up the Navy Yard and other establishments there. The brig spo ken of in the annexed report, was the new sloop of war, "Igula," said to be one of the fiest vessels that ever sailed out of Balti more. She was commanded by Commo dore Lopez, carried from M2 to 36 gns, and is believed to have had over 200 men on board. The other vessel was the 'Iturbide,' commnauded by a renegade American nasmed Davis; and though carrying only 18 guns, had on board an immense number of men, supposed . to be troops intended for the de scent on Galveston. Atlie time the Colum bia stopped her engme, she had on a heavy head of steam, with all her hose manned for the purpose of using the boiling water for defence or attack, and could easily have run down the " Igunla:" which Capt. Wright was strongly disposed to do, but hesitated from the recommendation of sonic of his officers. hlis conduact tlroughioutis spoken of by all as worthy of every recomnmenda tion and while we re-echo the call on our naval commnanders in the Gulf to do prompt justice for the insult oifered our flag, we pre sent the name of Capt. Wright to outr citi zeis as one deserving their warmest estecum. -N. 0 True Amer. Ni.w Yoam(, March 27. TIE CANADAS. We received yesterday morning sme futher papers from both Provinces.

The 'Tronto Patriot, after detailing the names of the members of the coutrt mamtial convened for the trial of Souther land, which we' have already published goes on to say: He is tried by the provisions of an act of our Provincial Legislature, passed dur ring the recent session, entitled, "an act to protect the inhabitants of this Province against lawless aggressors from the sit jects of foreign countries at peamcc with her' Majesty." We attended the opening of the pro ceedings, & it appeared to us thnt althou;,h the general deportment of the prisoner was calm and possessed lie seemed taken a littl abak when he fouid by what law he waro be tried. However, lie bore ip up oAt' whole, vory well; and with ihit degree of vulgarity and insolence we ex pectmd from him.
