We have been permitted to make the following extract from a private letter, received from a gentleman in Charleston "The Small Pox, I am glad to state is rapidly on the decrease. There are but few cases in the city, and so far, it has been very mild, so nimuch so, indeed, that it does not disligure the face in the least- I speak know( ingly. Therefore, if you have any idea, at all, of coming down, do 'so by all means ; the recports from all accounts, are extravagantly exaggerated in the country." 87The Georgia Legislature, after a long trial, has at. last succeeded in electig a Senator.

The Me. trapolitan Hall is no sooner said to be down, than we are told that the La Fa'-ge Iotel is in flamnes, and this un welcome sound is scarce out of our ears before we hear of others, not as great, but yet " Thick as leaves in Valumbrosia." Not only,' too, does itseeni that Fire is at open war with man, but Steam, its natural oiTtprinrg, together with wind and rain appear to be leagued in an open rebellion against him.

EDIToRs: in your last issue, 'Many Citizens" have called upion nc to comply with their wislhes by expressing a willingness to verve as Senatior for Clire moot County during the next tarsn. The very high positioan to which tny kind friends would call me, and the strong and coiplimentary terms ia which that :all is expressed, lead ine to concidde that the partiality of some of iy friends has induced them to place too high an estiiate upon ioy alialificatiolts. That it may have been miy good fortune to have done thie State sonie little service ibrod, and to have taken at home as active, a part in tho public Improvements of the diy, as inv hitable abilities would allow, I may admit; nor will it be consid cred vain in laying claim to honesty, in dustry, and a ready willingie."s in the d:sciargei of duties, both professioial and private. But to asuitie either the talent, legislativa experience, or the general knowledge of State anl Federal politics necessary to oie who would properly fill the ulliee of Senator, fromn a County so large, and a constituency so rcspectablb as that of 'Claretont, is more than a just estiimate of tny quatfications will al low. ]i conclusion, let me return to "Many Cirizeis" ily sincere thanks for the com pitnent paid ine; and while not hioldinr them a ltogether blameless of the inposi. tion of this article upon the public, woiild declare ityself a cathdlubate for the ofiCe of Represetative, and solicit their support.
