licly known as a drinker, just in proportion to his indulgence?and that drink, or ^ not drink, a certain publicity would be the inevitable consequence. I therefore took the Pledge, and publicly came out ? teetotaler, of the two consequences choosing the lesser evil, preferring by nil odds, the publicity of not drinking at rII, to the publicity of being in danger of drinking too much for the future, however moderate my drinking had been for the past.' This seemed to us a somewhat new, and very forcibly presented argument in favor of signing the Pledge; and we respectfully commend it to the careful attention of ail those, who are still 4 halting between two opinions, upon the sublet.

Destructive Firk.?A very destructive fire l>rokeouton the night of the iiJtU tdt., at the corner of Water and Fletcher Streets, New York. The-fire originated-in-a-fur-store, which was total^ 3y consamcd, and extended to Maiden Lane, in which 4 stores, with their contents, were entirely destroyed.?Another fire occurcd won after in a grocery in Broad Street, which, with the adjoining buildings, was destroyed. The loss sustained by the insurance companies amounts to upwards of $70,000. Q^.r-rtt Aucskan Cotton.?A fetter from Bo ?ota, to the New* York J-turrinl nf Cjiumrrcc,, says-* "You will be surprised to {earn that Sen Island Cotton has become a great article of export; it costs about three bits to raise, and it can be sold at Carlhagcna at five bits a pound, and pay a handsome profit. The government can therefore afibnl to put on an export duty of two cents a pound, and then undersell the North " American planter. This, you will perceive, wouM furnish at once a source of revenue sufficient to pay their sm.ill debt. The people of these * tfiggins* don't ' repudiatethat being a word not known in the Spanish vocabulary." Aiab.vma Goi.o.?The East Alabamian says: The broken lands in some parts of Randolph and !

The gold is found*, we -arc informed, in what miners term 4 rock veins,' and a yield, is obtained by crushing the rock in some rude wooden contrivance, of 2 or 3 pwts. per day to the hand. In a short time, we have confident expectations, the pure bullion will be very plentiful in this vicinity. ?? The Rev. Mr. Ohoulcs, in a discourse on agriculture, says, that the first book on culture as a scionce was published in England in the sixteenth century. The first reward for an essay on agriculture was given by Oliver Cromwell. But the glorious era from which all the triumphs of agricul-' turc now dale is 17D3, when under the auspices of 1'itt and Sinclair, an agricultural survey of England was ordered, and (Tut#c fctlontion dircetcd*to this important subject.

South Carolina Temperance Advocate.?The Rev. W. Martin has been selected as the future editor of the Temperance Advocate, vice the Rev. Julius J. DuBose, who resigned the charge. \N c cannot but express our approbation of the choice made l?y the Executive Committee. Mr. Martin lias long been a consistent ami zealous advocate of the Total Abstinence cause, illustrating his principles by itis example; and judging of his capabilities as a popular writer in the peculiar dc- , partincnt assigned him, front the specimen he lias given us in the last number of the Adcocale, we doubt not tbut the interest heretofore felt 111 that journal, will by no means be abated while it is under his control.?Columbia Carolinian. FROM WASHINGTON. From the correspondence of the Charleston Courier. Washington, Dee. 28. We learn from New York that the grand Dc- j mocratic Committee, just elected, for the city of , New York, is so comjtoscd us to give a preponder- I ancc to the Calhoun men.

Gushing in a speech J of yesterday, which aroused much party feeling, J on all sides, alluded very strongly to the dissen- j tions in the democratic ranks, and thereupon warn- | cd them that the administration could exercise a decided influence in the ultimate choice, if they chose. By the way, !\fr. Cushing's speech on the Bank- ( rupt Repealing Act has opened a grand political J debate?which may last till many of its participants are politically bankrupt?i. e. till their Icim of service shall expire. Mr. Gushing certainly aroused the attention of both sides of the House in a remarkable degree.? j The Globe considers his doctrines as profligate, | bocause he offers the co-operation of the Executive ! with any party that will co-operatc with it. The j Globe, however, it must be remembered, has j steadily repelled all the efforts of the Tyler men I to creep into the democratic ranks, and for the I plain reason that there would not be offices enough ! for all. The bankrupt debate is the great political debate of the session. Mr. Arnold began it. Mr. Cush' ing has spoken boldly, and With more truth than poetry, on the side of the administration. Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, on the whig side, spoke l very ably to-day?showing the inconsistencies of Mr. Cushing, Mr. Webster, Mr. Tyler, Ac. Mr. Kennedy^of Indiana, a thorough loco-foco, spoke most earnestly on the other side, and vindicated democracy and Tylcrism. Mr. Wise has the ffoor for to-morrow, and will, I doubt not, exert himself very much. The Senate is not engaged in any business of public ini|?ortance. Washington, Dec. 2ff. The debate in the House on the position of the Tyler Administration ; the causes of the failure of Whig measures, and of the defeat of the Whig party at the late elections; the prospects of the Democratic party; the next Preffdenti-d election, Ac., is still going on, and is not likely to abate in interest. Mr. Cushing's speech is regarded us a Cabinet manifesto- Mr. Horace Everrctt declared thit it was prefaced by advice and uttered by authority. The speech, or procl imatiou?whatever it njay be called, has proved a failure, so far as it was intended to intimidate or coax cither the Whigs or the Democrats into the support of tiie Administration of John Tyler and the passage of the Exchequer Bill. The Whigs, through Mr. Thompson, of Indiana, declared they would neither be bribed nor brow-bcatcn info it, and his colleague, .Mr. Kennedy, says the Democrats will not bid a 'copper for John Tyler, even now that he is put up with all his patronage for sale to any party.? Mr. Kennedy, however, in the course of his speech did Mr. Gushing the justice to treat his proposition as it was intended; and as so much censure has been cast on Mr. Gushing for off-Ting to tamper with the immaculate virtue of Congress.?Mr. Kennedy,ft remarks arc worth repeating. * Mr. Kennedy.said, lie would tell (lie gcn'Lmian front Massachusetts, (Mr. Cashing) that on behalf of hrs parly he could give no hid. But hescarcelv thought ^ ? the gentleman in earnest. fie had not understood him as bringing in Mr. Tyler to be bid for here, though lie must confess ; his speech had a most powerful leaning ! that way. [Roars of merriment.] * lie J had understood the gentleman simply t?> mean that Mr. Tyler was Pjcsident ol the United States; that those who had |)iit hiin into office now turned out to be a faction, and were wilting to break up and destroy the Government for.the sake of wreaking their vengennge upmi'?4iim. (a? o there was too mucu troth in that:) an<i ! that Mr. Tyler, be ng in charge of the J Government, must carry it on with the best means he had. If that was what that gentleman meant, and he meant, Mr. K. corresponded with him in opinion. As long as Mr. Tyler was President, he was President; the Government was not to he stopped, ft was net very material to the people who was President, but ii was material that the Government should go on." And ii" lie found that a certain set of men were hanging on irs wheels and [clogging them so that thev cvu!d not vT O O # r ! move, it was his duty to demand support I wherever there was honesty enough to give it. If this was all tho gentleman meant, Mr. -K. applauded the sentiment; and hoped the great Democratic party would take especial care to act as their ' avowed principles should demand." Mr. Wise had the floor to day, and I public curiosity was much excited in regard to his defence of his position. Bat Mr. Wise was so much cramped by the j one hour rule, that ho made little imp resj sion. Me undertook to show that the Whig dissensions commenced prior to the inau| gurntion of Harrison, and that the par| ty would have fallen to pieces, even if Harrison' had not been taken away. At the conclusion of his hour, Mr. Wise cast an anxious look to the clock, and stated 'that he had just come to the most important point in his remarks. He would undertake to prove the truth of the allegation that the Whig members of Congress .. O ' . 1 did oder to postpone the second lianiv dim, : if .Mr. Tyler would retain his cuhiuet. i Mr. Wise appealed to the House for leave to proceed, but the Whigs refused leave, by yeas and nays. Mr. Wise, therefore, gained his object completely, in leaving the impression that he could prove this allegation against the Whigs, | though Mr. Uotts had pronounced it false anil slanderous. Mr. Ecssonden defended the coursg of 1 the whig*, and took Mr. Cashing severe- i o o ly to task for threatening Executive wrath i against the whigs in Congress for not vo ting according to Executive dictation.? He called on the whigs to repel this as. sault on public liberty, the privileges of Congress, &c. Mr. Cushing insisted that he was misrepresented. Mr- Marshall, of Ky., has the floor for to.morrow. He will have enough to do : in defining his own position?as he is noi- 1 the*" Clay man, Tyler man, nor demo- i crat. i Post Office Department, I Contract Office, Dec. 28, 1842.

Thk Late Alabama Tragedy.?The Ifat I ford Review contains a thrilling account of all the particulars connected with the recent murder of George Washington To e, by one hufuTrcd and thirty |>crsons of Glenville, Alabama. Mr. Ix>re, itappoars, was a 41 near relative and dear friend" of tlie editor of the Review. It appears that since the murder of I/irc, the murder of the man whose death was falsely attributed to Lore, has been traced to the real perpetrator, a man named Milchell, at whose instigation the unfortunate Lore was first arrested. Tlie Review lias intelligence by letter that writs arc in the hands of the Sheriff against all the persons concerned in the hanging of I l/irc, and lie has orders to raise a force sufficiently j large to arrest the whole.
