Correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel.White Sulphur Sprit gs.

kite Sulphur Springs, near Gainesville, )

June 14. 1845. \To the Editor: —Enclosed, you will find an

advertisement of the White Sulphur Springs,(the advertisement willbe found in another co-lumn ;) and as this place is comparatively un-known. and 1 have derived so much benefit fromthe water, I shall embrace the present opportu-nity to recommend them to the public, and par-ticularly to invalids.

1 left home the 21st of April, and by easy sta-ges and short stays on the way, I reached herethe first day of May. I was laboring underdyspepsia, complicated with a disordered liv-er, which had well nigh completely prostratedme. I was reduced from one hundred andeighty to a hundred and forty-five pounds.—There was scatcely anything save gruel tea.and a piece of corn bread, (and but little ofthat,) that I couid eat, and even these would oc-casionally disagree with me. I had not beenhere more than two weeks before 1 could in-dulge in a little food, and can now eat almostanything, and my stomach and liver performtheir functions well, f have nearly regainedmy wonted health and strength, and hope to re-turn home by the first olJuly. All this hasbeen accomplished in the short space of f-rtv-five days.

The water possesses Tonic, Diaphoretic andDiuretic properties, in an eminent degree, andon some, acts as a mild aperient. I believethe water is admirably suited to all those diseas-es usually grouped together under the term Dys-pepsia, complicated with a disordered liver; itis also good lor diseases of the skin, rheuma-tism, and neuralgic affections. In diseases otthe skin and rheumatism, I learn from highlyrespectable gentlemen here, that it has effectedextraordinary cures—in short, when we takeinto consideration the climate, together with thevarious waters, I doubt whether there is a placein the Union that offers so many inducementsto the invalid; at least, 1 know of none. Mr.and Mrs. McAfee, lam confident, will do eve-rything in their power to renderthe stay of per-sons pleasant and agreeable—their table is

good. Your brother,W. S. JONES.

’* For the Chronicle dp Sentinel.n To the Editor of the Constitutionalist:lS Sir—ln your paper ot Saturday last you spoke

of three surveys ofthe Canal having been madebefore the passage of the ordinance. In making

I, this statement you will find, upon inquiry, thatyou have been led into error. The survey ofthe 12th section was not known to be finished,

for thefrst time, at the date of the ordinance,s and certain it is, that the profile of the sur-

vey was not exhibited to the Commissioners,- who would be the first to see it, for some time

i afterwards. The attention ofthe first surveyorswas confined to the line of the canal above

3 Washington street, the location of which occu-pied much time, but it was, in general, sofavor-

, able that it was deemed expedient to make ar-

. rangementsfor commencing the work, withoutencountering the delay which a careful survey

. ol all the routes would occasion.

, You predict the approach of serious evils, if

i an early compromise is noieftected. It is not easyto comprehend how a compromise can take place,i’heviews of those who have on theit side the

‘ payers of a majority ot the Canal Tax must pre-vail, but it will be no compromise any more thanthe election'ff Mr. Polk was a compromise uithe claims ofhimself and his rivals. But your

; correspondent, Justice, says it was pan of thecontract that the water should be returned to the

¦ rivet at East Boundary-street. But the passageot an ordinanceis not necessarily a contract: or-dinances are frequently modified, amended orrepealed, as the public good may seem to require,without the imputation of breach of faith.—The public meeting which was held at the CityHall, resolved that, the water should be taken as

. low as Washington ¦ treel, but not a word wassaid making it obligatory for the Commission-ers to take the water into the river at that point.Mr. 4 hompson, in a letter which was read atthat meeting, suggested that the water might beused the third time, as itflowed into the river,by those willing to run the risk ofsuch a loca-tion. To every friend of our gieat enterpiise,this third use of the water appeared in thehighest degree desirable, and this sentiment wasmanifested by the unanimous vote of the CityCouncil in favor ol the ordinance as it nowstands. Bin when the survey ofthe 12th sectionwas finished and the profile produced, it wasfound that after the deep cutting on most of thatsection offrom 9to 11J feet, the surface of thewater in the canal would still be 8 feet higherthan the bottom ofthe Beaver Dam drain, at thepoint where it passes that drain, and that thebanksol the canal are to be 3 feet higher than thesurface of the water, thus producing an

impediment ten feet higher than (he bottom ofthe drain to the passage of the water ol the cityduring heavy rains or overwhelming freshets,

it was the right, it was the duty, of those en-trusted with the execution ol the work, to take

. into consideration the expediency of selectingsome more suitable outlet. It is true, some ofthe objections might be removed by loweringthe 12th section someß or 10 feet more; but asthis would require deep cutting to the extent of

19| to 21J feet, the expense would be unreason-ably great, and the fall at the river so reducedas to lose its value even in the estimation oftie enthusiast, who imagines every ripple to bea water fall, as Don duixotte took inns for cas-tles. The porous nature ofthe soil at the river,and the consequent danger of its vr ashing ; the

( impropriety, not to say the injustice, of turningthe water into the river below the wharves ofAugusta and Hamburg, when a large amount

! will be saved by returning it to the river above;the intimation of suits in the Federal Courts by

I persons in South Carolina interested in¦ wharves, steamboats, or the commerce of the

river; and the possibility of suits being institu-, ted by some of our own citizens who may con-

sider themselves aggrieved by so injudicious alo-cation of the outlet forthe was'e water, ail concur

J to turn the attention of the intelligent friends of

, manufacturing industry among us, to the neces-sity of change ot a location selected without a

; due examination of the advantages and disad-vantages which it possessed.

1 As an evidence that the Commissioners wereat liberty to recommend any other than the East

. Boundary outlet, alter the passage of the ordi-

-1 nance, if they thought the public good required

, a change, one of them, who ably represents the

interests of the lower part of the city, urged the

r adoption of a route through the swamps east-\ ward of the city, and thence into the river below

, the Sand-bar Ferry. That route was about to be

; examined at his request, when an exorbitant. demand for damages by one of the proprietors

’ of the land through which it would have passed,? stopped all further proceedings. The gentleman

! who is supposed to be your correspondent. Jus-’ tice, praises ihe conduct of this Commissioner,j while he condemns the other Commissioners in

l the harshest terras, calling them conspirators,and accusing them of an attempt to decapitatetheir fellow-citizens in the lower part of the city,

1 Newspersons of plain, common sense may be4 at a loss to understand why it is so criminal to- prefer the cheaper route by Hawk’s Gully, to the

- more expensive one through swamps below the- city, both contemplating the abandonment ofthei East Boundary-street outlet—particularly as the

selection ofthe upper route willprevent litigationv with our neighbors over the river, and perhaps- with some of our own citizens, and litigation inV the Federal Court, with the prospect of defeat, if

we persist in having the outlet below the wharvess ol Hamburg, which would be a great discourage-|- ment to capitalists who might otherwise be dispe-

ll sed to use formanufacturing purposes, the splen-h did water-power we are about to possess. Youe speak of litigation as likely to ensue if the out-

Ilei is changed. Now, it wmuld probably be diffi-cult for you to prove this. Others may enter-tain with more reason the opinion that ifowners

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 18.

“In all parts of the country new cotton fac-tories are either building or contemplated, andin New England there is an especial tendency tothis now lucrative investment. These exten-sions ol the cotton manufacturing interest arenow heralded with great satisfaction by ultratariff journals, but their effect upon that interestmay hereafter induce a different state of feelingwith those who rely upon the profits of this business to build up a fortune in a short time.—There is at present, and has been for somemonths past, a great demand for cotton fabricsof domestic manufacture, but the number ofspindles now making, ann the increased pro-duction they will afford will certainly give alarge addition to the supply, with the na'uralresult upon prices and profits.”—Boston Post.

The ‘‘natural result upon prices and profits”to which the “Post," an anti-tariff paper, herealludes, is a reduction ol both; the consequenceof which would be, that the consumer wouldobtain his goods cheaper than he now does,while the manufacturer would be compelled tocontent himself with smaller profits than he ob-tains at present. This is truly an important ac-knowledgement, coming as it does from the lead-ing anti-tariff organ ol the Democracy of .Mas-sachusetts. and sustains fully the position here-tofore contended for by the Whigs, that the effectof a stable, well-regulated tariff would alwaysbe to reduce the prices ofmanufactured articles.This position of the Whigs has been reiteratedagain and again by the Whig journals andspeakers, wherever they have entered upon thedefence ol the tariff policy, and as stoutly de-nied by their opponents. Indeed, so recklesshave they been in their denials, that many ofthem have contended, that whatever rale of dutywas imposed on any given article, the price •would advance just that much. Yet in the faceof these denials, the experience ofevery man inthe country admonished him that the value of 1almost every article declined under the opera- 1tions ofa tariff, and we now have the declara- ,lion of the Boston Post that U e certain effect of (the Tariff’willbe to cheaper the prices of goods 1and reduce the profits of the manufacturers ofthis country. i

Such facts and such acknowledgments fiotn 'such a source, seem to us to possess much \force in the argument of this grave and impor- itant question, and should go far to open the 'eyes of the people, and show them to what ex- :

tent the demagogues and political hacks of thatparty had essayed to mislead them.

Special Minister to England.— The Baltimore Patriot of Saturday says; A letter fromWashington, dated yesterday', says—“there isa report, which I believe is well authenticated,

that the Hon. Louis McLane, of Baltimore,has been offered a special'mission to England,in relation to the Oregon question.”

We have the same rumor here in Baltimore.Mr. McLane has heretofore represented the U-States in England, and should the rumor of hisappointment as special Minister prove to be cor-rect, as we hope it may', w-e may congratulateMr. Polk in having made a selection whichwill give assurance to the country that the inte-rests of the U. States have been confided to ablehands.

i he Public Money. —We copied from the

Washington Correspondence of the New YorkTribune, stating that the Secretary of the Trea-sury had nearly completed arrangements for themore secure depositc of the public money, &c.,"hi'ii has called forth the following reply fromthe official organ, tire “Union.”

The Union says—The above article is found-ed. to a great extent, in error. No permanentsystem has been adopted by the Secretary of theTreasury. He is engaged at present in secur-ing the public monevs, and rendering the mintmost active and efficient; increasing the depo-sits in the mint, and the coinage, especially ofdimes and half climes, to be used under the newpost office law. The independent treasury billhas been repealed ; and the Secretary is furtherembarrassed by the provision of the act of 17thJune, 1844, recognizing to a certain extent thethen existing deposit? bank system, and declar-ing, further, “that no changes be made exceptfor non-compliance with the instructions of theTreasury Department or the failure to furnishsufficient security .” ‘This provision was nodoubt designed to be changed, whenever the de-mocratic party should come into power in thetwo h a uses of Congress. That the Secretary ofthe Treasury will carry out his specie doc-trines to the extent permitted by the law, andespecially that he will increase the coinage, iscertain. But he will not attempt to violate orevade the law, to carry out any doctrines homay entertain.

In the mean lime, in reply to some insinua-tions originating in the Herald, and exaggera-ted from conjectures of what a Secretary mishtdo, into suggestions of what was done, in the wayof loans to himself, we feel called upon to brushout all those unworthy suspicions, by declaringthat Mr. Secretary Walker never has had, andnever will have, any individual pecuniary transactions, directly or indirectly, with any depo-site bank, or any other depository of the go-vernment.

We repeat, the Secretary is contributing hisproportion of public duty to facilitate the in-troduction ofthe new post office law. He basalreadv drawn upon the places ofdeposit? (or Mex-ican dollars. &c.,to be sent to the mint and branchmints in diff-rent sums ofs3o 000, 70.000, 100,-000, and 50 000—to the amount, in all, of $250.-000, to be cedned into dimes and half dimes, forthe use of the people under the n"w post officelaw. More will be sent, to the full extent au-thoriz'd by law. The next issue will probablybe of quarters, when a sufficient number ofdimes and half dimes is coined.

Temperance Law in Connecticut. —Thenew Temperance bill introduced in the Senatein place of that previously passed by the Houseand rejected by the former, pas ed the Senateon Thursday, 14 to 7. It provides tor the ap-pointmentin each town of three commissioners,on whom is conferred the whole power of grant-

ing or refusing licenses. This will put thewhole matter in the power ot the people; if a

majority are opposed to granting licenses, theywill ofcourse elect Commissioners to carry nuttheir views.

From the Indian Council.— The VanBuren (Ark.) Intelligencer ol the 24th ullitwosays;

“The Creeks are now in council upon mat-ters of importance to their own as well assi’veral of the bortering and adjacent nations.T.iese were, a few days since, eleven of thewild tribes represented, but the Camanches andPawnees have refused to meet them. TheCreeks exceedingly regret this, as they haveever shown a disposition to cultivate friendlyrelations with all their neighbors. We wereinformed that there were about three hundredCreeks, besides numerous other tribes present,among whom were the ‘ Niovvas,’ a tribe fromthe west ofthe Rocky Mountains, who brought.in an enormous pipe to smoke in council withthe Creeks.”

A correspondent of the Intelligencer writesfrom the council ground in the Creek Nationoh the 13th as follows:

“There are at presentdeputations from eleventribes—Creeks, Seminoles, Choctaws, Dela-wares, Piankeshaws, Shawnees. Piolies, Cad-does, Osages and Kickapons, They commen-ced regular business yesterday. The principalobject is to clear the ‘white-path,’ aiid coverover the blood that has been recently spilt bythe Creeks and Pawnee Mahas.

“The Camanches returned an angry answerj to the Muscogee messengers, allowing them toescapeonly with their lives. They said: ‘Weaccept your tobacco, and have smoked it; youhave lodged with us all night; take back thewampum and the broken dogs; they are false,and your people have a forked tongue.’ It issaid and believed that one of the messengers(and the only one who spoke the Camanchelanguage) played falsely with the Creeks. They(the Camanches) further alluded to a meetingthis Moon, althe great Salt Plains, with all U eprairie tribes, to concert measures of action anddefence. This has created concern, on the partof the Creeks particularly.”

Fire IA hie broke out about 4 o’clock Sunday morn-

ing, in a small wooden building on South Proa i-street. owned by the estate of Dr. Lawrence andoccupied as a dwelling by Mrs. England, whichwas, together with the outbuildings attached,entirely consumed. Before theengines reachedthe scene, the fire had communicated to thewooden dwelling house on the adjoining lot,owned and occupied by Mrs. Thomas Lp.ydjwhich was also destroyed. The stables in therear of Mrs. Lloyd’s house, were pulled downto prevent the fire from extending, and one ofthe axeman, a mulatto boy, named Levi More,was seriously injured by a part d the bu dingfallingon him while at work.

There was no insurance on any portion ofthe property destroyed. The furniture of bothhouses was saved, though much injured by itshasty removal. Mrs. Lloyd’s loss is estimatedat from $3,509 to $4,000; as, in addition to theloss of her house, we are informed that in thehurry of moving, she unfortunately lost someS4OO to SSOO in Bank bills. The loss of theestate ot Dr. Lawrence is estimated at aboutSBOO to SI,OOO.

Various rumors are afloat as to the origin ofthe fire, but it is generally supposed to have beenthe work of an incendiary. We are informedthat a negro woman has “been arrested on sus-picion, and will be examined before the Mayort his morning.— Savh. Repub.

Wonderful Land Slide. —A correspondentofthe New York Evening Post writes as tal-lows of a recent lani slide at Warsaw, inUlster county:

“Never within the recollection of our oldestcitizens, has Nature given such awful demon-strations of her freaks in this vicinity as hap-pened here a few weeks since. On the nightof the 3d of May last, a large tract of land,comprising a portion ofthe farms of J. A. B.Diraond and Jas. G. Bruyn, broke loose, andwas carried by the force of its own gravityabout one hundred and sixty yards, carryingwith it fruit trees and various others of large

, size, some still standing in their upright posi-tion, others torn from their beds and scatteredin most beautiful confusion. What hascaused

[ this rupture no one has, as yet, ascertained.

I Nought was heard of the ‘move’ of this mass ofmatter, save as one of the neighbors says, he

‘ heard the sound ol a ‘rushing mighty wind.’f The first intimation we had of any thing un-

common having taken place was, that theRondout creek below the slide was, on the fol-

> lowing morning, completely dry, On our ar-. rival at the place we found that the earth had

. broken loose about thirty feet from the stage !road leading from Kingston to Wortsboro, run-

> ning parallel with the road for about a hundred, and twenty yards, forming a chasm at the point

where it started of about one hundred leet per-pendicular; the whole body containing aboutsixty acres of laud.

I “In its passage it crossed the Rondout stream,literally clearing the bed ol all obstructions, anddepositing its contents to the height of aboutfifteen feet in the bed ofthe stream for about onehundred and sixty yards, forming a dam at onedash across the whole stream impervious asmasonry could make it. The waters aboveproved what has always been considered impos-sible, namely, their powers of running ‘up

i stream. 1 This it continued to do for the dis-tance of about two miles, to a place calledHixun’s dam , where, after finding its level, it j

i recoiled, and, with the helpofhuman hands and I, its own powers, it forced its passage through i

the adjoining lands, to find its own channel be- j1 low.
