.7dpiee from Erperience-The Louisville
Advertiser speaks of a party springing up ii
Alabama, and preaching "RELIEF" to the
good people of that state-''They had better

At meeting of large number of the
freeholders of Accoinack county, in Vir.
ginia, it was unanimously resolved, that they
approve of the address of the Corresponding
Committee of Loudon county, relative to the
call of a Convention at Staunton, on the 25th
July inst and that they will Use all lawful
means in their power to promote the desirable
object.
At the April elections of the last year, the
sense of the people of that county, wastaken
on the subject of amending the Constitution,
and a large majority found to be in favor of it.
Upon this ground the meeting lately held, APP
poiated delegates to convene at Staunton.
Having several times adverted to the swind-
ling combination, said to have been formed in
Richmond; We cheerfully insert the subjoined
note from Mr.. Henning to the Editors Of the
Compiler. He deniesthe slightest criminalty,
but acknowledges imprudence-says he has
been victim of his own creduGty-and pro-
misses mere complete Development hereaf-

ment may result in demonstration of his in
nocence. He offers nothing in defence of
Hendree and Brown.
To the Editors of the Compiler.
GENTLEMEN My name having been
numerically introduced, as forming
one of triumvirate engaged in swind-
ling transactions, hesitate not to de-
clare, that the charge, as relates TO me,
is absoiutelytals When lent my notes
and accVtances, | really thought that
l was assisting an old acquaintance, in
setting him up in business, whom l
had known only as a man of fair cha
racter and good credit, who came from
the same county that | did, whose con-
nexions there are numerous and re-
spectacle, and who had generally been
my friends, in the various elections,
when l represented that county: AS to
the application of the funds, thus de-
rived from my credit, was totally ig-
norant. IdSy the ,ch'rs scorld to show
that one cent of the money, or single
atom Of the property ever came into
my hands. have been the victim of
my own credulity-I have been impru-
dent, | acknowledge have been the
greatest sufferer-But the amount Of
my engagements has been cruelty ex-
agserated. A more complete deve-
lopement will be given hereafter.

Columbia. This estate contains rather more
than 1000 acres OF fine land, to which are at
tached several valuable fisheries.-600 acres
of this land is under lease for life, and rents
for 81, 600 per annum; 40 acres are under a
lease for term of years, and rents for 500;
the fisheries have rented for $1,000, and gene
rally for 400 to 500 per annum. In tie event
of the completion ofthe Ohio and Chesapeake
Canal they will be of incalculablc value. The
arrable land produces fine crops of corn and
wheat; and the sources of improvement of the
land from the fishing shores are inexhaustable.
Two thirds of the estate is in woods. A large
manufacturing mill is distant only two miles by

From communication in the Virginia Her

tants of Fredericksburg, are negotiating with
Messrs. Wood s Warren, of the Philadelphia
Theatre, for short campaign, after their
leaving Washington, where they are now
playing. We should be delighted to see
these old veterans and favorites open our
Theatre few weeks during the winter

IN candor advise them to try it in the summer.

He who should mature and carry through an
amendment TO the national constitution, obviating
the evils arising from an appeal to the House OF
Representatives, in the choice of President, would
confer signal benefit on his country. He would
restore Congress to its proper sphere--:he calm.
and pure, and digniied Office OF legislation. He
would rescue il from being, it has been recently,
the arena Of disgraceful broils and fierce and en-
Filtered contention. How affecting is it, that the

familiar, should be entirely thrown away. at be-
