WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1844. 0"WeiU ding to the Pilars of tAe Temple of our Liber es.adsf it umtstfall, ass-wi Perish amidst the Ruins." FOG PRESIDENT: JOHN C. CALHOUN, Subject to the decision of the Democratic Republican Convention, to assemble in May,1844, asrecommended by the States of Maryland, Michigan, Kentucky. Lou isiana, New Hampshire, Massachusetts. Alabama and Mississippi. TO OUR PATRONS. As this number closes our present volume, we have thought it expedient to have a "short talk," with those to whom we have always been thankful for their anpport, in this our arduous undertaking, and for the last time, to give our Defaulters a chance to come forward and wipe of the stain, which if not attended to, will be forever affixed to their characters, and which we have. no doubt, if they have a conscience, will hauntthem until then dying hour; for fear of not being distinctly understood, we inform them, that the cries of the Printer's Devil will be rung in the ears of those who neglect to pay for their papers, until they come forward and obtain his forgivenese by sgearing off We have, since we have taken the reins of this establishment into our hands, devoted our whole attention to'make its columns useful to all classes ofcitizens, and from the support we have received, we have the vanity to believe, that, in a measure, our time has not been wast ed, and that our labors, has, more or less, ben efitted those who were so good as to patronize us. We have had our good and our bad luck, sometimes choosing the side of the question with the majority, and at others happening to fall into the ranks of the minority, but, at no time, we believe, have we acted inconsistent with our avowed Republican principles, having always sought to espouse the cause which we unhesitatingly conceived to be for the public good. Our prejudices, in regard to this dis trict, we acknowledge have always been great, but we have tried never to swerve from the good old adage '-do unto others, as you would be done unto." To those of our patrons who have stood by as, although opposed to our see tional preferences, we have cause to the thank ful; they have borne with our District pride in a manner becoming Christians, and have repaid us "good for evil." To those of our own creed who have assisted us by their advice and the "needfuld," we will merely say, that we will continue on in the even tenor of our ways, un till convinced that we are not supporting the good cause of our country. To those who have been, no doubt, at times "glad," upon perusing our Journal, but has never found in their hearts benevolence enough to "pay the printer," we are at a loss what to say; so many sentences of condemnation have been passed upon dhem, that in the English language, we cannot find words, hard, or soft enough, to touch with Aonesty, their unrelenting, never-pay nghearts; they, we fear, have their conscien ces seared as with an" h ot iron," and had we the eloquence of Cicero. we would not be able to move them; we. therefore, most give up all idea of procuring fronmsuch Defauters.that jus tice which is our due, and leave their. to be pointed at by the finger of scorn, or enter into that hateful business, the lawc, to force them to pay their honest debts. We had long since determined to make new arrangements with our patrons, on the com mencement of our Ninth volume, so asfb make it an object for them to pay in advance, and save ourself the trouble of having to occasion ally give them a disagreable hint in our columns relative to our money concerns; we have there fore concluded to alter the terms of our paper to Two Dollars and Filly Cents per annum, invariably in advance; Three Dollarsi if paid within szx mouuths anter subsecribing; and Four Dollars at the expiration of the year. We wish it distinctly understood, that no subscriber will - be considered as paying in advance, who ne gleets to pay his subscription one month after it becomes due; those subscribers who have paid in advance for the Ninith volume, will have their accounts creditted accordingly, Those in arrears, have the privilege of pay ing their accounts with three dollars per year, until the fourth day of March next, after which time the old terms of the paper will be exacted. Subscribers at a dIstance, who have already been notified of the amounts they are in arrears to this establishment, and have not taken any notice thereof, are informed,that so fast as their subscriptions runs out, their names shall be erased from our list, and their accounts will be placed in the hands of proper persons, in their respective neighborhoods for collection, when, should they fail in collecting them,. the names of those returned non est will be pob lished on the Black List. - - E7 We acknowledge the receipt of a num her of Public Documents, from our worthy xe. presentative the lHon. A. Bart, for which we are truly thankful. Mlaplnd.-The Legislature of this State, JaMv passed a law dividing it into six Congreso sional Districts. The election for Members ol Congress, under the new law, will take place on thelth dayof February next. -f7 The Washington eotespondent of the Charleston Courier, under data~ of the 10th iist., says :-"Mi. MCDuflie's health appears to be somewhat unproved, and.I perceive we shall hear from him very soon, when the reso lution of the Committee on Finance, declaring that his tariff bill cannot originate in the Senate, shall come up." 117 Captain M. M. Levy, has been elected Sheriff ofKershaw District. E7 The U. S. Senate have rejected the nom inations of the Hon. Daniel Henshaw, as Se cretary of the Navy, and the Hon. Isaac Hill, as Supenntendent of the Navy Clothing Bu. rean, and confirmed the nominations of a num ber of Marshals and District Attorneys, as also the entire list of appointments and promotions to the Army submitted by the President. Mr. Proffit, whose nomination was rejected a few days since, and who has gone to the station to which he was appointed by the President will receive his outfit, as the Committee of Ways and Means have provided for him in their gen er civil and diplomatic bill. 07 The Richmond Whig of the 18th inst., contains a letter from a correspondent at Wash ington, under date of the 15th inst., which states that it is currently reported in that city, " that the friends of Mr. Van Buren have in their hands a letter from him, requesting his name to be withdrawn as a candidate for the Presiden cy." The Whig states that they do not vouch fur the correctness of the rumor, but will en gage for the veracity of their correspondent. We feel satisfied that the above is all a hoax. Changes.-The Alexandria Ga-ete, says: "Many changes in our diplomatic corps will soon.take place. Profit has been rejected as Minister to the l$razils-Todd and Jenifer will be recalled from Russia and Austria, and Whea ton, probaby transferred from Berlin to Ver sailles. Wise asks to go to Vienna or Berlin Gov. Van Ness is a. candidate for Mexico. Cotton.-Our exchanges give the following, as the prices of Cotton in their respective mar kets: .Charleston.

Ezpress of the 15th inst. says: " Cotton has been, and continues to be, the the great leading article of speculation. It is sold over and over again, from one pairchaser to another. without being moved, and each hand that passes it realizes a profit. The article has been improving for sojne time, but within the last few days there has been a constantly im proving market. It is very unusual for the market to continue so firm and so active, for so long a time." 0T Candler Brown, the person who passed off a considerable amount ofcounterfeit money to a Broker in Charleston, has been. (says the Southern Patriot,) arrested, and confined in the Jail of Newport.(Tenn) Brown, at the time of his arrest, had in hIs possession, some two thousand dollars of the South Western Rail Bank, which was the description of money paid him in Charleston for the spurious bills. 11E' We publish for the benefit of all con cerned the following sections of the Act passed at the late session of the Legislature, entitled, " An Act to establish oertin Roads, Bridges, and Ferries." -That every Commissioner of Roads, in liis respective road division, shall cause all the roads in his division to be posted and number ed. and at each Forks of said Roads a pointer declaring the direction of such Road.; and that any Commissioner failing or neglecting to do so. shall be liable to pay the sum of ten dollast for each and every such neglect, to be recover ed by mndictment in the Court of General Ses sions of the District wherein the same ocetirs, to be paid when collected, to the Treasu~rer of tihe Board to which such delinquent belongs: Prosided, no Commissioner shall be liable to said penalty, who limts up said pointers at such times a3 he works his road division.

Picqaa, from a gentleman at Vera Cruz. "Vzaaa Cauz, Dec. 23, .1843 "Gentlemwe.-The Consul of the U. States has just handed me a letter, addressed to myself from George Van Ness, Esq., one of the unfor tunate prisoners at Perote, in which he requests me to say to yeu that they are not only bound in chains, but suffering sickness and death; that out of the 140 prisoners, 76 are dangerous ly siek in the hospital, and the following num ber bad died within a few days, and got through their suffering.: John Trapuall, Joseph Si. mons, James 5.

Merico-The Courier &akes some ex tracts from the Mexican papers brought by the schr. Merchant, which we did not find in our files. The following 'are among them. The Diario says the Yucatan commis sioners arrived at Mexico on the 11th tilt. On the 13th they were presented to the President, who directed the Minister of War to arrange this affair as promptly as possible. The conferences have already commenced, and it is possible that Yucatan will speedilybe re-united to the Republic. The.ChiefMinister of Santa Anne, Se nor Jose Maria Tornel, who unfortunately lost his wife a abort etinicaon has e~rnrne sed a desire to retire:from public affairs and offered bjis resignation. . According to an article in one of then papers, an attempt has been made to as sasbinate Gen. Santa Anna, which isaitrib used to the Texans. The paper refers it the Mexican journals of the 8tb of Decem ber for the details of this affair. We have seen nothing relative to it ia any of those heretofore received by us. The general, commanding at Ojaca in forms the Minister of War, that on the 29th ofNovcmber Lieut. Col Jose. Marit Munoz, captured and destroyed the prin cipal fortof the rebels on the Cajon Moun tains near the village of Cocillo.-Pic. - From the Augusta Cosutintalist. We present to-day to our subscribers the Constitutionalist in a new dress. To ena ble us to do so we have incurred a .heavy debt, and to enable us to discharge it, it it of absolute necessity that we should adopt a plan by which we can collect all stand. ing accounts, and by which we can ensure the collection of all debts contracted since the beginning of the year. For this pur. pose we have opened a new set of books, with the view of closing every account is the old set, either. by profit and loss or by actual payment in an amicable or legal manner. We'earnestly call on all those indebted to as to come forward and settle; they will but perform an act of justice to uis, while they will also infinitely oblige us. By performing such an act of simple jus tice, they will enable us to free ourselves from all embarrassments, and above all, remove from our mind thoughts and per. plexities which deprive us of the faculty of concentrating our mental exertions to the editorial department of the paper. To approximate our rules as much as we think proper atcthis time to the cash system, we have established those that follow, which will be rigidly enforced hereafter. 1. The names of subscribers owing for more than two years, shall be struck out of our list, if the arrears are not paid within three months after this date. 2. Subscriptlons not paid in advance, nor within three months after subscribing, shall be charged $6 for the ti weekly, and $3 for the weekly. 3. Advertisers whose accounts stand un paid for one year. shall be hereafter exclu. ded from the columns of this paper, until such accounts are settled. The editor has renewed his arrangement with Mr. Robert M. Goodman, Ito be a colaborer in the editorial department of the paper. The editor hopes by this arrange ment to give a greater variety to his edi torial columns, and interest to the subjects taken up for investigation and discussion. All the attention and talents that both edi tors may possess, will be devoted to the examination of the great topics which ,will be agitated during the approaching presi dential canvass, which it is anticipated will be one of unexampled interest and excitement. The responsibility of the editorial department will, therefore, de volve on the present editor and Robert M. Goodman. We have received an additional supply of job types, which, with the assortment we toad on hand, will enable us to execute all kinds of jobs as heretofore, with this exception, that for such work the cash will be required before delivery. Charlesto'n Convention.-Our Temper ance friends will no doubt be gratified to learn from the communication in our pa per of to-day, that the Rail Road Company have made arrangemnents by which the members of the Temperonce Conyention, to be held in Charleston in Febuary next, will be furnished with return tickets on tb'e Rail Road, free of charge. We trust this will afford an opportunity for a general at tendance of delegates from various Tom 'perance Societies, which have not here tofore been represented. particularly those in Barnwell, spoken of byonr correspou dent "Brown," whose communicaton will appear in our next.-We are satisfied thai there is still a great deal of ignorance as to the true strength of tha Temperance cause in South Carolina, and that our numberm have been greatly underrated. Sociemies exist which have never been represented in our ~ Conventions, and from whom no Statistical information has yet been obtain. ed. We hope all those that can do so, will send delegates, nnd those thatecannot, will send a correct statement of their numbers, progress, prospects, &c., to the approach. ing Convention at Charleston. A correc knowledge of our strength is highly desi rable, and will no doubt contribute greatly to the promotion of the catuse. Temnperance Advocate For the first time, in the space of twe months, this morning indicates a prospeci of fine weather.-Selma Free Press. The Navy.-Our navy at the presen time consists of the following niumber ant description of vessels :-One ship of 12( guns, nine ships of the fine 90 guns each one razee of 62 guns, twelve 52 gut frigates, one 50 gun frigate, two 48 gum frigates, eleven first class sloops of wareo 24 guns each, three 22 gun sloop:, five 14 gun sloops, two sloops for store ships---4 guns each.

Died on tho 11th iust., in this District, Mrs. EMI.v RAIwSVoRD. wife of Julia Raiusford, Esq., and daughter of Capt. James liller. This lady died in the 22d year of her age, after having been married hut a few mouths. Death under any circumstanees is a melancholy event, but under circumstances like those connected with the disease of this lady it. is rendered pe culiarly painful. She was just matiried to one, for whom she etdtertained the most sincere af fection. She was apparently in the bloom of youth, and surrounded by every earthly bles sing that could render life desirable. She had as well founded hopes of a lung and happy life, as any one within the compass of our acquain tance. But death came in the midst of all her bright andlbudding prospect, and severed her from the bosom ofher companion, and from the midst of a large circle of relatives and friends, wpose affections were centered upon her. None can appreciate the affiictioin of a husband Under such circumstances, but those who havelfelt thi bitter pang of a similar be reavement, Lils green fields, so bright in prospect, sotiih in promise, are suddenly trans. ferred in a cheerless desert. One unbroken scene of desolation is presented to his mind in whatever direction he may tart It. The only consolation left him, in his adliction,is the well founded hope, that his loss is her unspeakable gain. She was tender and affectionate as a wife, dutiful as a daughter, sincere as a friend. She was amiable in her disposition. and her unobtrusive manners endeared her to all with whom she *as associated. In all the relations of life she discharged her duties with a faith fulness. and constancy, that won the respect and esteem of all who knew her. The death of this lady, was Indeed one of those mnserutia ble dipnain of providence, which hunman, foresight can neithet appreciate or understand, and we have nothing left us but tobhow in hum. ble resignation to the will of hinm in whose hands are the issues of life and death.
