RISING SUlVt ATURUAY MORMS(J, JUNE 21, 1834.

OWc have been requested to make the following corrections in Mr. Cotton's communication, whioh appeared in this paper on the 7th instant : Instead of "shoving," read "sharing." For "even without some," read "even without txprers late;" and before "motto," read "my motto," &c. rOtJUTH OF JULY. The Committee appointed by the meetin of the cititvns on the 1 1th instant, to make th necessary arrangements for celebrating the Fourth of July, have ntteivled to that duty, in part; and a full report of their proceedings will be given in our next paper. W'c hope to see our citizens, one and all, turn out and celebrate the day in a manner which will reflect honor on their character for patriotism, and their de votion to the illustrious event which has ren dered that day so dear to the hearts of every American. COUNTY .Mi:KTIXt: TICKET. Agreeably to previous notice, the Delegates composing the Committee appointed at the county mectine, held at Wilmington, on the 26th of April last, convened at the same place, on Wednesday, the 18th instant. Present Messrs. J. W. Egglcston, Samuel Jellcy, Wm. Caldwell, J. D. Johnson, Samuel F.wing, Wm. Flake. A. Bailey, Wm. Conow ay, J. Myers, C. Barricklow, and James Walker, from the townships of Ca-sar creek, Manchester, Sparta, Union, Laugher-, and Randolph; nnd after due deliberation, JAMES WALKF.R cf Laughery township, was nominated to be a candidate for Representative in the next Legislature, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the withdrawal of Johnson Watts. J. W. EGGLESTON, Chair'n. 07" It may be objected by some that too many of the members of the County meeting ticket, are in Laughery township; but when it is recollected that evil reports are ahroad, calculated to make the people believe that Randolph township is only disposed to secure to herself a new county, instead of removing the teat of justice lo the centre, it is well enough to counteract such reports by securing a strong representation to the centre. The opposition ticket is composed of citizens of Lawrenceburgh alone! CONGRESS The Senate, on the 9th instant, agreed to the resolution from the House, fixing upon the 30th of June, as the day for the adjournment of the present session. On the same day, two very long reports from the Committee on the General Post Office, were read to the Senate. WTe have not seen either of these reports, but have given a synopsis of each, which we copy from the Intelligencer and Globe. Both branches appear to tc more engaged in business at present than at any former period of the session. FOREIGN COIN. The follow ing is the bill which has been passed by the House of Representatives of the United States, to regulate the price of Foreign Coin: Be it enacted, $-e. That from and after the passage of this act, the following silver coins shall be of the legal value and shall pass current as money within 'the United State, by tale, for the payment of all debts and demands at the rate, one hundred cents the dollar, that is to say, the dollar of Mexico, Peru, Chili, and Central America, of not less weight than are now coined, and those re-stamped in Brazil of the like w eight when of not less fineness than 1 0 ounces, 15 pennyweights, and 12 grains of pure silver, in the troy pound of twelve ounces of standard silver; and the five franc pieces of France, when of not less fineness than t?.u ounces and six teen pennyweights in twelve ounces troy weight of standard silver, at the rate of ninety-three cents each. Sec. 2. And be it further enacted, That it shall be the duty of the Secretary of the Treasury to cause assays of the aforesaid silver coins, made current by this act, to be had at the Mint of the United States at least once in every year, and to make report of the result thereof to Congress. DREADFUL SHIPWRECKS. The Quebec journals give the de tails of several dreadful shipwrecks,

which occurred early in May, on or near the Canada coasts, and occasioned the loss of many lives, aud the destruction of a large amount of property. The following are the names of the ships lost, viz: The Jane, from Workington vessel totally lost. Moore, from Sunderland vessel totally lost. Isabella, from Drogheda 7 persons drowned; vessel totally lost. Patriot, from Aberdeen vessel totally lost. James, from Limerick 265 persons drowned; vessel totally lost. Astrea, from England 208 persons drowned; vessel totally lost Margaret, from Belfast 5 persons drowned; vessel totally lost. In addition to the above, several other ships, of which the names are not given, have been cast ashore, or abandoned by their crews the total number of vessels lost amounting to thirteen, nearly all of which were loaded with emigrant?, of whom not less than KOO are supposed to have perished. O. !$. Journal.

AFFAIR OF HONOR A duel, or as is more correctly ter

med, an affair of honor, took place in this town on Saturday evening last, between Capt. Kang, late of the U. S. army, and Mr. Rufus Osborn, a citizen of this place, in consequence ot the formers having applied the epithet ol "boot-black" to the latter. 1 Ins insult was too gross to be passed over by Mr. Osborn, and as he was too infirm to receive the satisfaction for which his soul panted, in any other way, he resolved to challenge the viliant captain to meet him in mortal combat, with pistols consoling himself with th patriotic reflection that if he fell his death would save the country from any fur ther expense, and on the other hand, if the God of Battles should decree that the life of the captain should be sacrificed lo the manes of his departed honor, it would be but "small loss." The ground selected for the affray was on the bank of the St. Mary's River, in the rear of Donevan's hotel, the parties were placed back to back and by agreement were to step four paces and then wheel and fire; but so eager was Mr. O. to avenge his wrongs, that at the second step he wheeled and tired. The captain, who is an old sol dier, having seen service under Gen. Wayne, when this was a military post, of course could not be afraid of the smell of powder, but in his eagerness to return and fire, he placed his finger on the guard of his pistol,, and though he pulled with all his might, he could not get it to go off: he says, he fell his adversary's ball graze his shin, and saw it strike the ground near his feet. The seconds now prepared the pktols fer another shot, while the principals wiped off the perspiration which stood in large drops on their blanched visages. This time Mr. O. got hold of the guard instead ot the trigger, and his pistol would not go off; the Captain snapped his pistol, the percussion cap of which exploded with a slight report, and he anxiously watched to see his adversary fall, feeling confident that he had shot him thiough the heart. Mr O. ack nowledged that it was a narrow escape as he heard the ball zvhistle close past his ears. I he seconds now inteifer ed, declaring that enough had been done lo satisfy the injured honor of Mr. Osborn ,. and that both had beha ved like gentlemen, and displayed as much courage as is usual on such occasions. It may perhaps be as well to state that the seconds very prudently omitted to put any balls into the pistols. Fort Wayne Sentinel. Texas. It is mentioned in the New Orleans Bulletin, on the authority of a gentleman recently from Texas, that the prospect of a good Cotton and grain crop in that region was very flattering, the Spring season having been unusually favorable. Complete tranquility prevailed; the arrest of Col. Austin, the agent of the Colonists at Mexico, for some imprudent expressions, in his letters home, having produced no excitement. The country throughout is stated to be remarkably healthy, and no disease of any discription is understooa to exist within its limits, it i added that a very considerable acces sion of population had been obtained by emigration into the various parts of it during the last winter to the number of about four thousand at least. The Bulletin publishes the annexed letter. What credit is to be attalched to it, if an', will doubtless be proved in a short time: Brazoria, (Texas,) May 4, 1834. Dear Sir We have information from the City of Mexico of undoubted authority, that General Santa Anna has said "As soon as the war in the South is finished, I will send 4 or 6000 of the troops to Texas and chastise those turbulent and insolent North Americans, and should the smallest resistence be made, the whole of their property shall be confiscated and will convert Texas into a desert." Our Country. The Christian patriot cannot look on the present state and future prospects of his country without alarm. Among the people there appears to be a strength of partyfeeling, which sets at naught love for the welfare of the nation, and almost of their own individual prosperity. Among the rulers, there appear to be marks of regard for office rather than for the advancement of national interests. Politicians appear lo have lost the self sacrificing spirit which won our independence, and formed the constitution of our government. Every one appears to be looking out for his own aggrandizement, for his own party, for his own state. The spirit of intrigue and art has taken the place of simplicity and integrity in our nation. There is, too, a spirit ot division ana alienation among the citizens. Diversity of interest adds to the danger a diversity which would seem to threaten the

existence of the Union, even with the I

oolest. and wisest, and most united counsels. The crisis becomes fearful, when to this diversity is added distrust, ambition, selfishness, and local and par ly leeling, among those who aspire to manage the affairs of Government. While there is not mutiny on board, what is next to it in danger jealousy and divided counsels among the otiicers the ship floats nearer to the malcslrom. Jcw Hamp. Courier. Steamboat accident. As the steamboat Beaver was descending the river, from Pittsburgh to Sleubenvilie, on Tuesday night, she was run into, r.t midships, by the steamer Ploughboy. a few miles above the latter place, and sunk. The Beaver had been chartered by the Pittsburgh Guards, all of whom, we understand, were on board, for the purpose of conveying them to theGrand Military Parade, which was to take place yesterday and to-day, at Steubei ville. We have not learned whether any lives were lost, or any personal injury sustained; but we presume tcere was not. Brooke Repub. Specie. The quantity of specie en tered at the Custom House in New York from foreign places, between the 28th of March and the 12th of May, a period of seven weeks, was of gold, .32,333; of silver, $2,864.33'J total, $2,947,677. The period commences after some of the large importations were made, and there have been constantly large receipts from New Orleans. We should believe that the amount of specie received at this port since the 1st of January, could not be Inco f Kin tits nT4-t1s C fl TVf i rl'c loan, ($6,000,000.) X. Y. Jour. Com Avarice. A neighbor once refused another the privilege of his spring of water. He was thus compelled to dig a well, by means of which he accident ally filled up a vein which supplied his neighbor's; thus avarice often defeats itself by its own meanness, and our en emy as frequently benefits us, as injures himself. The number of passengers who ar rived in the Port of New York Irom foreign places, within the last month, was 8653. THE MARKETS. Louisville, June 7. Flour remains as last notice, still scarce, and meeting with a good de mand at $3 25 and 3 50. Uhiskey.
