Augusta Mirror.-This neatly printed periodical, we are glad to understaud, has become firmly established, and we are in hopes that the friends of Literature will not suffer it again to suspend, for the want of patronage. The last number contains the conclusion of " The Rencontre," a tale connected with our own history, from the pen of one of Carolinas fair daughters, and the second chapter of "John's Alite," and its usual quantity of original and selected poetry. We admire the plan the publish ers have adopted, of introducing Foreigr Literature upon the covers, as it will be beneficial to those who wish to preserve those tales. without an additional expense. Alabama.-The I.-gislature of this Statt having passed a law, for holding a special election for members of Congress, the Go vernor has issued his proclamation appoint ing the 20th inst., for the election of five members. This election takes place unde the General Ticket System. This act re quires the citizens, at their regular elec tions, in August, to state whether they are for "General Ticket," or for "Districi System." Among the acts passed during the called session of this State, which lasted nine days, were a few relative to the banks. One amending the charter of the Bank of the State of Alabama and its branches. This ect anctions the suspension of specie .--/ paym .ta e defa"tely. Aitotherto amend the charter of the banks of Mobile and the Planters and Mechanics Bank of Mobile. This acet requires them to have in their vults, on the first day of July. each year, gold and silver equal to one-half of thteir immediate liabilities on notes issued, but the amount not to exceed one fourth of their capital stock. A preamble and reso Intiotns were adopted expressing the opi. nion that the Executive authority of thte State of Now York had violated the con stitution of the U. S. by refusing to sur render on demand to the Governor of Vir ginia certain refugees fromjustice, and that :the State of Alabama 'vould stand by Vir ginia in the position she has taken on the subject. A Committee of Conference of the Le gislature of- Pennsylvania reported a bill, on the 28th ult., to provide revenue to meet demands on the treasury, which, according 1o a correspondent of the National Ga::ette, places the U. S. Bank on the same footing as other Banks in relation to forfeiture of charter, &c. The bill passed tho House by a vote of49 to 41, and the Senate 17 to 14. It was anticipated that the Governor would veto it, asit was adapted by a s:rict party wbig vote.-Char. Courier. Governor Porter has vetoed the above named bill, and sent it back to the Legis -Jaiure with his reasons and advice on tbe subject, wvhich, oc account of their length, we were forced to lay over until next week, when they shall appear. More Pioscription.-We copy the fol ilowing from the Augusta C'onstitutionalist : "(Q"'Under the htead of "Oflicial," it will be seen, that among the appointments .and removals made by the President, Mr-. Martin Duralde,-has been appointed Naval Oflicer at New Orleans, in the place of Henry D. Peire, removed. We know bot h the gentlemen. Mr. Dura'lde is a son-in law of Mr. Henry Clay, and Mr. Peire served during the late war with England, in Louisiana, and was major of the 44th regiment, trnier the .command of Col. Ross, and was in all the battles with the British.-For his services he obtained the office of Naval Officer. lie was removed for a son-inaga of Mr. Clay." Thus,'we daily see those who braved the battle field, to defend the rights and li berties of outr cotmtry, deprived of the means of snpport, in their old age, to make room for connections of the WVhig leaders, who have done the country no manner of service.. The officers and soldiers of the late war, whose services haie been so lotng overlooked by the General Government, may take this, (notwithstanding the grcat -promises made imy the Whig politicians, to secure their stupport of the WVhig cause,) as a specimen of what they nmay expect to rcceive in retturn for those promnises, fromt sh, ne-rc~ rulers Fire at Antigua.-On the 6th of April, an extensive fire-occurred at Antigua, which destroyed a number of the most valuable buildings, including the Custom House. The loss is estimated at 8500,000. Yellow Fever.-The captain of a French barque, arrived from Martinique, at New Orleans, reports, that the Yellow Fever prevailed to an alarming exient at Marti nique at the time he sailed from that port. Fatal Occurrence.-The Tallahassee Sentinel of the 30th ult. says:-" We re gret to state that Gen. Leigh Reid, of this place, was shot in the street on Monday morning last, by Mr. Willis Alston. lie expired in about 14 hours afterwards. We firbear making any comments, as the af fair will undergo a legal investigation. Two other persons were accidentally, we presume,) wounded, one severely, though we trust not mortally." Fire at Swainsborough.-The Sanders ville Telescope, of the 28th ult., says: "The Court House of Emanuel county, was entirely consumed by fire on the night of the 10th inst. We understand but one Record Book was saved; the balance, to gether with all the Court papers, were lost. The Sheriff of the county had been accus ed, and a true bill found against him by grand the jury. Our informant, however, thinkq him not guilty, and that there is not even circumstantial evidence against him." Major Donelson contradicts the report, which has been in circulation, that Gen. Jackson has lost, or is likely to lose money by him, or any other person, and says the General's estate is worth $100,000. The fullowing extracts are from the Bal timore Weekly Sun, of the 1st inst. RELIGIOUS INTELLIGENCE. "NATrONAL BAPTIST ANirvERsARIxs. Several of the great Benevolent Societies. connected with the Baptist Churches in this country, are now holding their Anni. versaries in this city." " The Baptist Convention.-The Dele gates to the .Triennieal Convention of the United States Baptist Society for the pro. motion of Foreign Missions, assembled on Wednesday morning, the appointed day, at 10 o'clock, to the number of about two hundred and fifty, in the First Baptist Church, at the corner of Lombard and Sharp-streets. "In accordance with the rules, the elec tion of a President, Secretary and Assis tant Secretary, was then proceeded with by ballot, 'These being counted, it was announced that the Rev. W. B. Johnson, D. D. of South Carolina, was elected Pre sident, Mr. Rufus D. Babcock, Juar., of Poughkeepsie, New York, Secretary, and Mr. James B. Taylor, of Richmond, Vir ginia, Assistant Secretary. "Mr. Johnson was welcomed to the Chair by Mr. Cone, and returned thanks for the favor conferred 6n him, and extend ed his observations to a remarkably appro priate address, concluding by meading the rules adopted for the guidance of the Con. vention." " The Baptist Convention.-T he elec tion of officers for the Board of Foreign Missions, was held yesterday, and quite an animated debate took place in anticipation thereof. Several of the Northern gentle (men assumed the somewhat novel position of inquisitors, and demanded to know whether certain individuals representing various portions of the Soutb, had not come into that Convention, instructed to piroscribe particular delegates, for the par ticular principles entertained by them, re ferring of course to the question of slavery. The distinct disclaimers of the South, while they were made in a manly and Christian spirit, under this unusual ordeal, seemed to appease the very unnecessary excitement, into which the interrogators had been wrought. The eff'ect of this con duct eventually appeared at the close of the day, when upon-counting the ballots it proved that each of the persons alluded to, suppiosed to be obnoxious in consequence of their ultra opinions, had been left in a minority, andI the abolition influence pret ty thoroughly eradicated from the Board, a work iti which the Northern Delegation, doubtless dlispleased with the unseemly coturse of some of their brethren, must have essentially aided. The Rev. Daniel Sharp, of Boston, was elected President of the Board. " At the adjournment, the Rev. W. Col ver, of Boston, asked permissiot to retire from the Convention, mn consequence of what he wvas pleased to tertn the proscrip tion of that body, and the Rev. Elon Ga lusha, requested his name to be removed from the Committee on Agencies from the same motives. Both these gentlemen were delegates to the famous - World's Conven tion,' held in London last year." CnAR.ESTON, May 4. Fire and Accidents.-A Fire broke out this morning between 12 and 1 o'clock, on Magwvood's South wharf, in a three story brick Ware-house, containing between 800 and .i000 bales Cotton, the greater part of which together with the Ware house, wvas destoryed by the flames. The Ware-house was not insured. A small part of the Cotton i's insnred here and the balance in New-York and Augttsta. The origin of this fire is altogether con jectural. No one has had access to the building since Saturdag night. The flames first made their appearance from the inte rior, and if eombustibles had been placed therein on Saturday evening, tt is singtb Iar neither flame nor smoke should have issued from it, so as to. be visible before this tmorning at the hour rthey were discov ered.-Southern Patriot. The friends of Gen. Glascock, were thrown into a painful state of anxiety yes tcrdlay on thie receipt of intelligence, that ho had beetn thrown from his horse near .Decattur, in Deklab county, and so much injured that his life was despaired of.

It will be seen by the subjoined note hat the affair pending between Col. Wig aill and Preston Brooks, Esq. has been ad usted to the mutual satisfaction of their: 'riends. It maybe due from us tostate here, that he account inserted in the Cbronicie, in re erence to the unfortuunte rencontre be ween Col. Wigfall and Thomas Byrd, lEsq. (to which we learn exceptions have >een taken,) was made up from common -eport, together with the subetance of let ers received by a gentleman of this Dis rict ; and that the letters were written for tbe information of a friend, without any eference to their publication, and were mubmitted, also, to our inspection, by the entlemen to whom they were addressed, withoutany reference to their publication. We endeavored to state the case in an impartial manner from the inrormation in our possession, and if we have done injus rice to either party we sincerely regret it. It is aleb due to Col. Wigfall to state, that the Grand Jury of Edgefield District did not find a bill against him. CoLUMBIA, 9th April, 1841. To Messrs. Butler 4; Cantey, GE.ITLEMEls: We have read with the highest satisfaction your correspondence, which has terminated the controversy be tween Messrs. Brooks & Wigfall in a way so fair and honorable to all the parties. Any adjustment ef'ected by you, would of course be of conclusive authority, the only hesitation we experience in adding our ap probation and concurrence is, that it is a perfluous. We beg leave to congratulate you, gentlemen, upon the successful issue of your humane and honorable proceedings -and to assure you that we are. Most rspectfully, Your obedient servants, Wu. C.

T HE publishers of the Globe have recently T given to the country an exposition of the motives wiIch prompted the attempt by the Federal party to prostrate their establislunent, by the lawless abrogation of their contrant as Printers to the Senate. They showed that there were ideady six Federal newspapers-to which a seventhis about to he added- publish at Washington-all devoted to the dissemina tion of Federal principles and the defence of Federal m ures. And to make this over whelming ba ry of Federal presses at the seat of Governmeat tell with the more effect through. out the Union, the character of the Globe was to be tarnishel, its means impovershed.and its political influence destroyed, by a sweeping denunciation of infamy on the part of the Fed eral leaders inthe Senate-by throwing the dead weight of an expenditure of $40,o00.in preparation to do the Congressional work, 'on the hands ofits publishers, (the printers whose contract was'riolated,) and by having this whole workof defamation and rain accom pished by thejudgement of the Senate of the Union to-give tthe sanction of the highest trib unal known -to our country. . The work was done by a cancus packed majority of Federal. ists and th' Editorsof the Globe are lefl to sus tain their estalilisiment by the patronage they may receive from political friends for the pa pers theyp u h, We will not ask or receive the sort o I b contrihutions by which the banks cans stainitheir prua ubli ailaNo iids Globe, ifitcan obe supported'by the'regulai subscription mpicef the paper. If such ofour Democratic friends whose circumstances do noi jastify a subseriptoaito the daily or semi-weekly paper, will patroize the cheaper publications issued by na-the Extra Globe-the Congres sional Globe, and the Appendix-we shall he enabled tomnaintain, as heretofore, our corps o~f Congressional Reporters at the cost of$3,000 per annum, anid to draw to our aid some of the ablest pens in our country. We trust, nnder these cireumstances, and at a time when the aratest iatorest of the country, and its future ilstny are put at stake upon the events wvith which the first year of the present Administra tion is pregnant, that no individual who has the cause of Democracy at heart, will hesitate to meet this appeal, when at the same time he will feel assured that this trilling tax for his own ad vantage, will sustain in triumph at Washington, the long-tried and faithful press of his party. The Extra Globe will be published wveekly for six months, commencing on Wendesday, the 10th May. and ending on the 19th Noyean her next, making twenty six numbers, the last of which will contain an index. Each number will contain sixteen royal quarto pages. It will contain principally political matter. The po. litical aspect and hearing of the measures before Congress duriog the special session will be ful ly developed and when the proc -edings are considered of mucha interest to the public, they will be given at lengthi. The Congreugonal Globe and A ppendix will begin with the extra sessionr of Congress, to commence on Moniday the 31st of May next, and will be contibued during the session. The Congressional Globe will give an impartial his. tory of the proceedings of both.Hons of Con. gres; and the Appendix will contain all the speeches on both.sides of important suhijects, at full lenth, a written out, or revised, by the members themselves. They will be printed as fast as the business ofthe two Houses furuishes matter for a nuiber.
