GEN. GONZALS. A dity or two since we published a paragraph ?a which We stated that the New Yorik Herahl, which had published a manifesto froirr Gei.

It is, therefore, with- c-ep mor tification, that I- have seen that list- published in the Herald of* day before yesterday, with the statement made by yot thatt the names which it contains afe those of persons connected with the Cuban movement.- A-nxious as I am to correct such an assumiption on your part, I hasten to state,- for the satisfaction of gentle. nerttwho wih1be astonished to see their names paraded before- the public, the origin of this stepr; and to-add that, although I consider them, as Americans, opposed to tyranny, I am, no mbre tian any other individual, warranted in stating that they are engaged in co-operating w'ith the Cubants in their revolutionary move menits. They are a few American citizens to those enlightened consideration and personal symptathy I desired to submit a defence of the Cubans.' With the gentleman from Edisto I nu personally unacquainted.

[Aegnata Cotnstitutionalist, Oct. 1. THERE seems to be some doubt after al whether Billy Bowlegs will go W~est. The Savannah Courier of yesterday says: e "While on their way to this city, we are informed that Billy, once or twice, partook too freely of' his fauvorite fire water." ie was patr licular on such occasi-:ns to curse Gen. Blake, especially when the Genieral could not hear him On one oooasion. he went below among the engineers and the General passed near by when Billy lowered his voice, and with his pe. culiar Indian emphasis, cursed-him most bitterly -and wound up by sayinig, "lhe's rasent.-he no general-he no big warrior." A .gentl'man who conversed wvith Abram, thie interpreter, informs us that the old fellow was very sullen and moody. When asked if Billy Bowlegs was actually going west, he shrugged his shouldes and said, " Me hope so." Our infor mant is of the opinion, fronm all he saw and heard'.that th'e indians will not remove accord ing to-agreement,.and- that we may soons expect to hear of some stirring wvar news- frony Florida.

Some old and troublesome suits have already been disposed of, to the great relief of bench, bar, jurors, witnesses, clients and all. It is a prominent characteristic of the presiding officer now in attendance to despatch business rapidly and skilfully-and, during this term, he seems determined to achieve as much as possible in this way.

IT affords us much pleasure to notify our readers that we have procured, for their gratification, the services of a Charleston correspondent, n ho promises t- keep us posted up on the hcal news of that City &c. from week to week. He is an easy, natural ar.d unpretending writer, and entirely capable, we think, of presenting interesting incidents in a spirited and attractive manner. We venture to promise ourselves and our read'era ans occasional treat from this quarter atnd hope not to be disappointed in our expectations. The first appearance or our neW " Correspondent" is in: thit nundber. '1- him' wve scould drop a single remark. Our readers like a nice little dish of gossip made up of savorry' tit-bits.

Wr. have not yet seen the official report of this election, but as it is a matter in which many of our readers may he interested, we give them below a par tial statement which may be relied on as being very nearly accurate: EDGEFIELD.

Th'le n'hole vote for the former will be polled on Monday in consequence of the latter election coming on thena anid being confined to one day. What will be the result of our State elections is involved in considera ble doubt even up to this late period of the canvass. We reiterate the hope which we have before express ed, that the old question of Secession and Co-uhpera tion will not operato at the Polls. Thtere is no or ganization whatever, that we are aware of, to thits o ffect. At least for the party with which we have been identified we can speak knowingly. With them there is certainly nothing approaching to it. Expre.' sions of amity and conciliation have been generally interchanged between the leaders of the parties of last year. Whether these have been candid expres sions or not, will be decided by the state of the dif ferent boxes, when counted out on Wednesday next. TO THlE VOTERS OF EDIGEFIELD. WE are requested to state on the part of Mr. iENRYv Ha1.t., one of the candidates for Tax Collector, that his absence from the feld for the last few weeks has been owting to a severe attack of fever which has greatly prostrated himn. lie is glad to be able to an nounce to his friends and the public generally that his physician, Dr. A. G. TEAoUE, considers him now in a fair way for rapid recovery. Mr. HI. has thought proper to present to the voters of Edgefield this allusion to himself, lest somne, who are not aware of his situtation, might stuppose that lie bad grown indifferent to the election, which is far from being so. NO ONE WANTS THE OFFICE. Tuttan is a vacancy in the nomination for Commnis sioners of the Poor which should be filled. Thlis vacancy wvas occasioned by the withdrawal of Mr. .JAMEs RItuAaDSoN. The gentleman suggested in his place (Mr. STaora sa) has also declined. We have been at a loss to know precisely what should be done in the premises. Our uncertaitnty was yesterday relieved by a direction fromn the present Cuommis sioners to renewv their nominiation of Mr. tctt.sato soN. They regard it as a custom, almost as binding as law, that their nomination shall stand unless the most ample excuse be offered by the person declining. We have thterefore replaced Mr. Rctapso's name on thme ticket, with the understanding that said ticket in to be the one generally run. TO THE SOUTHERN ERA. Omia esteemed cotemporary of Richmond, Virginia, complains that we published in our paper a poetic compomsition extracted from his columns for which dute credit was not given. We assure our friend of the Era that it was an unintentional omission. It was not claimed by us as original. We never do tricks of that sort.-But even a failure to- give proper credit, for an article borrowed, Borders on- criminality. We regret it and beg to be excused for it in this instance. As is our almost unvarying custom to give our brethren of the Press the full advantage of their original pieces. .L&TIN CLASS. WE have been asked to notify all, who may feel interested in procuring a course of Latin instruction, either for themsselves or those committed to their care, tiat lMfr.

Wr have urged our readers on several occasions to think of the inpor tance of keeping up a good agricul rural Journal in South Carolina. And we'have again and again pointed them to the Farmer and Planter (of Pendletony as an execllent publication of the Lind almost in our very midst. Some have wiscly heeded our saggestions while very many have suffered it to pass by them with indiffirente. Once more we would assure themr that we have examined this work with rare, Lime after time, and feel it to be our duty to con tinue our entreaties to our liberaf farmers of Edgefield in its behalf. Its publishers and editm ar struggling with difficulties owing to their as yet limited sub scription list. They must have help soon or the un dertaking may possibly fall through. Will our en lightened Tfow-citizens stand by and see this paper, which seeks to advance their best interests, fail from lack of a liberal support ? We trust not. Again we repeat that it rihlily deserves encouragement and should receive it. I i WANTS TO RIDE W7ITI TIlE GIRLS. So.wr wretched bachelor sends us a doleful effu Rion, the burden of which is that the " yonmg fadies have quit riding.to church on horseback." They are now, says he, " invariably set up in carriages with guards by their siles to watch their every word."' Poor fellow! buy yothseif a buggy and " bak up" lke a man-ask your sweet-heart to take a seat with pou before the old lady's very face.

C ONNUNIC ATIONS. FOR THE ADvERTISER. LICENSE IN EDGEFIELD LLAG. MTEssas. EnTrons:-Severe legislation to prevent lhc manufacture and use of Spirituous Liquors is ot of niodern date. It is by no means an origina n-ention or improvement in jurisprudence by the Yankees of Maine, or the people of Edgefleld. It ins been triod at various tinics, in Englanl, Ireland md Scotland, since 1643, and unitirmly with un ritigated and unqualified failure. The use of Liquor n England, was as free and uniestrited as water antil the year above named, when the first tax :small) was laid upon the "niakers and venders of Ale, Beer, Cider and Perry" by the I.ong Parlia nent, whose example was son after followed by he Royalists, both sides deotaring that the tax hould no lunger continue than the terminuat:o of hie e:v:1 war then raging between them. But after he war was over, it was found too profitable, for 3overnment to redeem its pledge, as Liquors of all dinds were then in general use and regarded both is a luxury and necessary of life. This was the first excise duty ever collected in England, whielt mode of taxation, asi Mr. Justiee BDACKsToNE sayA, " from its first original to the iresent time, has ever been odious to the Englith >eople." Additonal duties were imposed in 1649, mnd at the Restoration in 1660 the whole excise was >haced upon a new footing and the list of " Licenses,'" Nhich is a word as haterul to an Englishian as l'ra' " Informer' is to an Irishman, was extended u other trades and other artleles of ho:ne produe ion and consumption. Previous to the levy of this exe'sc, I can find no omlplaint in Etglish llistory of the aLuse, or ex cssiv*e use of spirits. But from sonie eauce or ther, immediately after the imposition of the duty, ho consumption of them began rapidly to increase, mnd the anarchy and disorders attending their use 'arfully to multiply ;so much so, that early in the -eign of George 11, the prevalence of Gn drinking, lie cheapness of ardent spirits and thu multplica iou of public houses for the~r retail use, were de ounced from the pulpt and in the p'resentment of osequencee to the health, morals and intellect of he conmmunity. .At length Ministers determined to put a stop to i furthur use of Liquor, except as a medicine, and 'or this purpose an Act was passed in 173C, the him :ory and effeets of which, deserve to be studied, by ll who are elamorous for an increase of duty, or ther imipedimuents to the use of spirits. The Maine Lquor Lasw is mild a'nd leinknt to this Act, whose Preamble is in the following words :" Whereas the drinaking of Spirtuous ~iquors, or strong water is become very coimnon, espucially among people of lower, or inferior rank, the eonsant and exeesr-ive use of which tenids greatly to the destruction of their health, rendering them ta~t for useful labor and bu iines, debaiuching their morals aiid inciting heinto perpetrate all vices, and the ill consequen eei rof t'ie excessive use of such Liqaurs, are not eofinted to the resent generation, but extend to tinture ages, andl tend to the dei'tructioni andu ruin of this Kingdlom." The provisions of the Act we're suchi as might be expected to follow a Preamble of this sort. They wero designed not to reprtes the vice of Gin drinaking butt to root it out altogthmer. A duty of treenty shillings, or fur dollars and eighty cents per gallon, was laid on all spirits. dis :llehi at home, or imiported fromi abroa.1, exelusive of a heavy license imposed upon all retailer.. Ex traordinary encouragement was at thre same time heldl out to informers and a fine of one hundred pounds was ordered to be rigorously enforced against those wvho even inadvertantly shouldl sell ste small est quantity of Liquor that had not paid the full duty. hlere was an act, which might, one would think, have satisfied the bitterest eniemy of Ruin, but in stead of the anticipated effects, it proucted those direet'y opposite. 'The respectablle dealer wiithd rew frwn a tradle, proscribed by the Legislature, andu at whic.h lie could no longer manke an honest living. But as the appetite for Liquor, or some other stim lus being foundled in the comnst:tittion of man's na tre, could not be destroyed, it must be gratified in sonme way, so the spirit business fell almost entirely into the hiatnda of tho lowest and most protligate characters, who as they had nothing to hose, were not detered fro:n engaging in the retail sale of un licensed liquors, especially when backed by the populace, who readily and rightly espoused the cause of their best friends the smuggler, and unlicensed dealers. The Revenue officers were openily as:sault ed in the heart of London and other great cities. Itformuers were hunted down like wild beasts, and itnarhiy, drunkenn.ess, idleness and crime increased wvth frightful rapidity. A dulteration of Liquor till thein unknown, was extensively practised by the Re tailer who paid hiis license, in order that lie might compete with the smuggler and illicit dealer, wha defid the law. The Earl of Cholinondeley an nonced from his place in the Hlouse. of Lords, that at the very momnt, when the sale of spirits was declared illegal and the suippresion otf it attempted by every possible means, upwards of scen millions of gallons were annually smuggked into and eon smed in London and the vicinity without paying one cent or duty. " Within two years of the pass ing of thc Act,"' says TIYDaL, in his Continuation of Rappin, " it had become so odious and contempt ible that policy, as well as humanity forced the Com missioners of fixcise to mitigate its penalties." The sanme hlistorian mentions that during the twoo years in question, no fewer thant twelve tho',sand person. were convicted of offiees connected with the sale of spirits.. Under such circumstances, Government hadl but one course to pursue, which was to give up the un equal struggle, and accordingly in 1742, after the short lived ex!atene of six years, and four of those in a dying or deadl condition, the Act was repealed and such moderate duties imposed, as were calcula ted to incease tho Revenue by increasing the con sumption of legally distilled and legally retailed spirits. The Bill for this purpose was vehemerntly opposed in the House of Lords by meet of the Bishops and many of the Lay Peers, who exhausted their Rhetoric i depicting. the horrors that would o.ul fr.m tratini thme practie of Rumn drinking. that tmteve unanswerably replied',1 tha teherte evils of the Practice right be it wasn impossible to'repress then by prohibtory - actnents and that the attempt to do so had been prodletive of far more miuchWie, thair had ever re sulted, or could be tpieted to result, from the greatest abuse of spirits. Sueb is a brief iwtine of this celebrated embargo on the use of spirits, and such the fate of this first attempt, by the strongest and best Government on the face of the earth, to take away the taste for auch an auicle, or at least lesser W consumption. The experiment failed because it was at war with nature, who is ever victorious over the fully of man. Eut it is strange that tis same Q9oernment, disregard ing the instruction and saggoat:n of its own history, should have tried at a latet day, again to reverse the law of God which reuires the use of stimulus by man, to be again defeated. A still sadder tale can be t41of Legis!ation against spirits in Ireland. Wouldthat there were space to give the harmwing story in ll its details, but if any one disputes it he shall be pointed to the Record. Certainly if entire prohibition :of the distillation or retail of spirits, or if heavy taxes to prevent either in an undue degree, enfore by constant surveilance of the police and severest regulations of the military could make a people sober, The Irish would be the most so of any nation on earth. Besides other ty rannical enactments, in orde to-encourago spics and to bid for treaso- among brotheus, as well as to make the possessors of property OIn heartily in the sup pression of illicit distillation-and retailing, the novel expedient was here resorted: to of imposing a heavy fine on every Parish, Townlaid, banorland or Lord ship, in which an unlicenscd Still was found, while the unfortunate wretches cailght working in it, were subjected to trnsportation fir even years. But instead of putting down illicit distillation. these unheard of cruelties rendered it universal, and filled the country with bloodshed and even rebellion to the civil authority, as well m' the military force of the Government. Whole Districts were absolutely disorganized, the only resultt being the exasperation of tire populace and the perpetration of the most revolting atrocities by then"ud the military. The Rerenue Commissioners reported in 1811 that in the teeth of the above barborous statutes and in despite of the exertions of thepolice and military to prevent it, six millions of galons were consuted in Ireland annually that evadeo both the duty on dis tillation and the license on retailing. It is said by the Rev. Mr. CnmcNEsTLa, in his valuable pamphlet on the Irish Distillery Les, publ:shed in 1818, that " The Irish system seemed to have been form ed, in order to perpetuate iIkbggling and anarchy. It has culled the evils of both savago and civilized life, and rejected all the -advantages which they contain. The calamities of iviljzed warfare, are in general inferior to those produced by the IriliDis tillery Laws." Hence Engnd was driven in 1823, not by humanity, but for tlie sake of her Revenue, to reduce the tax on distibItier-And license. The I consumption of Liquor that paid duty, immediately arose in round numbers from 2,300,000 gallons to 8,000,000 annually, at which'it has continued, with slight fluctuation ever sinep.'ometimnes much more, soietimes a little less. Ireland was an unfortunate country in which to make such an expemiment, be cause not only of the tempcrament of her mn, but of their extreme poverty bjrenson of British taxa tin and consequent inability~ to buy Tea, Coflee or Tobacco, as a substitute. . The History of Scotlandfurnishes the same in-~ struotire lesson, as does, r' ire say, that of many States on the Continent, a iyet wre Amerceans in umany portions oif this ex sive country, wrhich is breaking in two of its owi lht, disregarding the admonition of. hy which our " peculiar institutions' against that law of God in the constitution of man, which -requres that he shall use some stimulus. For a long time thme right of citizens, to distill, retail; or drink Liquor as they choose, was respected in. this country and nothing but moral suasion was evr'rdremned of to prevenst Ieither, in the earlier and bkttsr days of this once glorous Republie. Bitt Massachusetts that hot-bed of A bnlitionsm. and of all the other extravagant and disorganizing theories, civil, politceal and religious, destined to ruin this country, was the liionecer State to use fore. 1 see by a Report before me, that she hasm imprisoned out of a population, not a third larger thtan that of South Curvl:na, during the last ten years ending 1st September, ultimo, 51,239 3f her citizens for intem perance, or at the rate of over 5,000 a year, which is a greater number of white perrons, I dare say, titan have been imp:-isoned in South Carolina since the Revoh .on. Maine under the leadership of the Meyor of Portland, who has since beeni beaten out of his efiee upon the issue of hi., own Liquor law, next followed Massachusetts anid ercn otsttrpp d her, notwithstanding she has a much colder latiude and elevation, and must necessarily feel tmore acrisi bely the deprivation of such a stimutus as Brandy. IBut Massachusetts would not be surpassed even ini doing evil, so she copied the Mainism upon her ownm statute book. Rhode Island has (lone 1:kew ise, and many of the other States have tried untsuccesfumlly to do so, but with every prospect of success, unless the revulsion soon eomzes, which Ihistory declares inevitable. Here is a paragraph taken at random front one of the Boston papers :" It is said that the Commtitee of the friends of the new Ligior law in Bloston are prepared to make one hundred complaints against Iunlicensed persons in that city for violation of the Ilaw, whenever it is thought proper to commelne ope'rations. The Traaeller says, it is the united testimony of the Watch Department, that there never was so munch drunkenness at nigkt ins that city, as at the present time." I see by the last Delta that the Yanikee influence in New Orleans has induced the Legislature of Louisiana to submit it to popular vote, whether ariy " License to retail" shall be granted or not. This incidenat of itself, shows which of the Southern States is most Northern in its politics. All of these circumstances along with the known fact that the "Suns of Temperance" is an active, butt secret organization, extending through out thia whole continent, together with the addit':on al fact, that the issue of " License, or No License" has beenm sprung simultaneous'y upon nearly every Village in South Carolina, at, the recent municipal elections, induce the belief inmmy mind, that a mnoe ment is on foot to legislate the ilainc Liquor Law into the Palmetto State, the impolicy of which I will further expose in TEMPERANCE BUT LICENSE. ron THE ADvERTISEa.

But I fear we shall have some weeks of mu :quitoe.s, dust and hot weather yet. Our IndiaSuumer is yet to come. The Yt.low Fever is still prevail:ng to some ex tent in our milst. The Report this morning shows a list uf seven deathas from Yellow Fever for the last twenty-four hours. About thirty have died of it during the last four days. But witiudll our Fever and other sickness, they are dying faster at Savannah thian they are here. The last weekly report showed a mortality of one death in every 615 of the inhabi tants, while our report f.r the same week, showed only one death in every 651, and that was the largest bill of murtality (66) that we have had in this city since the epdeanic that followed the great fire in '38. Business of all kinds is rather dull, and I presume will remain so until the first of November, when we shall look for some increased activity and liveliness in the narket. We had every prospect of a most extensive and profitable Fall trade, and unusual preparations were made by our merehats to meet it with an adequate supply of goods, and I fear that a large portion of then will have to remiain on hand for another sea son. The uainmoth wholesale establishment of BANCROFT, BE-rrS & MAnsna6ALL, has opened under great disad:nntages, but I understand they are fill ig large orders frots various parts of the South anad West. It is the best finished and most exten sive house of the kind in the Union, not even S-ravArt's marb!e pn!acc in Broadway, New York excepted. I understoodh last week that they filled orders to the anmount of $90,000 in two days ; if they can do such a business as that in a dull season, I should infer that they would negociate hearysales when -usiness was brisk. A man by the name of Jonts A. Wit.Ev, was ae ident y s!.ot on Wednesday last, by :l.e discharge of a pistol in the hands of a lad. le died of his woun Is this moring, and a Coroner's Inquest was held over h's body, and the verdict returned "ac eid. ntilly shot." Fire-arms should be kept ont of the reach of biys, and many grown up anen could dispense with the use of rerolvers and six shooters, withoaut doing any injustice to themselves, or the community at large. The first nunber <.f a new daily paper was issued here on the first inst., called the Daily Constitu tional Union, published by J. B. Nixos, 48 Broad Street, and Edited by M. JuDGE MOORE. It is Whig in polities, and advocates the election of Sco-r and GitAmA , the union of the States, and the giving of the election of the Electors of President and Vice-President to the people. It is a respectable looking sheet, well gotten up, neatly printed and editel with so:ie ability. It will have to d -pend mrain!y for iti support beyond the limits ot its own State, as the Palhetto soil does neat seem prolific of Whig principles, especiatly of the Scorr and GsA Ha.M school. ARCHER. FROX CUBA. The Mobile Tribtune hias the following con cerning the state of things at Havana: " We learn from a gent leman who came pas. senger on thle ste~nmsaip Empire City, that im mense exeiilemenat :and feanr prevtailed at HJavaa among all classes, but moure particularly among the Creoles.

The Gilgal Church, of which she hal been nau exemnpiary anember precisely twenty-two years, feels trualy that a sister is goane; her aminad being stored with usefual knowledge she exercised a p'ous infitu entee, whtich was knaown andte especially felt by those whlo catme uander her inafluenee. But her faith''ulness cart be comnparedl' to the pale rays of thte moon, which coul anot give light, bitt the reflected light of Gtl's love ; beitng tiakena away the Church can but see it, and mourn. But hter excel Icence aind her loss is tmost kanown anid felt by her famialy, whore she was truly the woie, th.e mother and the ai.atress.
