UNFORTUNATE.

from this city to Milledgeville, on yesterday
afternoon lost his trunk, which was tied be-
hind his carriage. 1t contained between
thirty and forty thousand dollars, in bills Of
the.Darien Bank. Mr.. c. does not know whe-
Their his trunk was cut from the carriage, or
whether it dropped off. Neither can he
state the precise time il was taken, or when
it fell. He recollects to have seen the trunk
when he passed through jerks toll gate. and
did not miss it until after proceeding on his
journy about ten miles from the city. Mr..
G. has returned, and made every inquiry for
the trunk: but nothing has yet been heard of
it. A greater part of the money was tor the
Branch of the Darien Bank, at Milledgeville.
An express left town yesterday for Darien,
notifying the mother bank of the loss.
lIhe next paper of the llth inst, states,
that the above trunk was found in sw amp
seven miles from Savannah. and the whole
amount, except about 1900 dollars in let
ter, recovered The hasp of the trunk had
been opened aud closed again.

The bill tor the regulation of the Duties
on goods imported from Foreign Countries is
under full discussion in the House OF Repre-
sentatives. Present indications favor the
passage of the bill in that house without a
mendment.
They may, however. be deceitful. There
may be majority opposed to any amend
ment. and YET majority, differently compo-
sed, inimical to the main object of the bill.
Our impression, however. is, that the bill
will pass the house of representatives.

In Joining our wish 10 yours in the gene
neral voice, according to which We have on
the 5th of March. proclaimed the Spanish
Constitution, our intention has been no other
than to avoid the confusion, ruin, and de-
ISOLATION, which would have followed by a
division of parties. The examples which the
southern provinces give US. have taken the
veil from cur eyes TO avoid the evils which
would have produced fatal consequences.
One general voice, one sole opinion, from
the highest to the lowest inhabitant of he
roic Saragosa, has drawn our ties OF peace
and fraternity closer together; Move differ
among ourselves only by the habits OF our
respective occupations we ale all the
children of Spain, our common mother;--
we have all sworn to defend our rights, and
to maintain the sovereign whom we recog-
nized, and to whom we took the oath of f.
deity in 1903. Such are the sentiments that
animate us, and the desire that these senti-
ments may be produced in the hearts of O.
Their Spaniards, viii, be favored by the all
Omnipotent God, whose providence has
watched in such memol able manner over
the people, in the great events of yesterday.
Letus hasten to the holy temple, to rem
der up the homage of our gratitude and to
implore His Divine aid, that the King whom
we acknowledge, may,unite himselfto the
general wish Of his people, in conyokipg the

than one trip can be made at any other ferry
on the same river within the state, by which
travellers will not meet with any detention or
delay: and that they may not be msled, or
made to go out of the road, all persons de-
sirous of travelling this way, will please to fol-
low these directions
On leaving Milton for the river, keep the
left-hand road at the foot of the bluff Ii is le-
vel and dry. In travelling to the east from st,
Charles to the state of Illinois, take the right
hand road when you get within about mile
OF Smetzer's, where you will observe the

ing this way you will not be detained by high
