Patriot has been informed by one Of tho dele
gates to tho late Chicago Convention that the
committee who were appointed to convey to Mr..
Lincoln the official notice Of his nomination as
their candidate for President, repaired to Spring
field, Ill., in the fulfilment of this duty. He
states that Mr.. Lincoln resides in a comfortable
mansion in the suburbs of the city, and as the
committee proceeded to his residence they at
tracted much attention His neighbors, know
ing that Mr.. Lincoln was . strict temperance
man, at once despatched their servants with
walters covered with wine, brandy, whiskey, &c.,
to enable him to offer what they conceived was
proper to these distinguished guests. Mr.. Lin
coin met the servants who had the charge of
these refreshments, and requested them to say
to his friends and neighbors that no duly appre-
catcd their kindness, but ho could not consent
to violate long established rule ofconduct, and
that he should treat his guests with plentiful

such machines as were called for, but until recently
have not been able TO recommend with confdencs any
particular machine as being adapted to the wants Of
our customers. One years experience In the use OF

The Two Steamboats,. Destroyed by Fire
Heavy Loss. -

Heavy Loss. ...,-
Some days since, two steamers, the Calhoun
and Cherokee, lying at Rome, Georgia, were
destroyed by fire, and the Courier of that
city gives these particulars: q
The fire was first discovered by the watch
man on the Cherokee, in the fuel near the
boiler. The watchman attempted to put out
the fire, but not succeeding, and before he
could arouse and get help to his assistance
the whole bow of the boat was in flames and
it was impossible to extinguish them. The
Calhoun was tied to the Cherokee ON the
north side, and, as there was strong wind
from the south, the fire swept across the lat
ter, and soon enveloped the former boat with
devouring flames. Captain Coulter with his
little son were sleeping on the Calhoun, and
so rapid was the spread of the fire, that, af-
ter being, awakened, they barely had time to
escape with their lives. Cd = cy
There was but little freight on either of the
boats yet this little, and all the furniture,
was burnt with the boats, all being either
completely consumed or entirely ruined.
The loss in the Cherokee, owned by the
Alabama Planters Steamboat Company, is
about fourteen thousand dollars, four thou
sand of which is covered by insurance. This
boat cost seventeen thousand dollars, and has
run fourteen months. The Calhoun, owned
by the Oostonaula Steamboat Company, was
a new boat, having run only three or -four
weeks on the 0ostanaula River, cost six
thousand dollars, and was not insured at all
Mr.. D. G.. Daniel, of Blue Pond, Ala, mel
with a very severe loss in the papers belong.
ing to the estate Of G. J. Williamson and J
P. Webber, deceased. Mr.. D. is administrator
on these estates, and as we are informed, al
the papers, amounting to some $4,000 Of
$40,0 were burnt on the boat. r,a, d.

New Jersey sharer in the Tca-Tax Re-
~ sisfnnce. !. - ~ 7.

A letter from Washington, written by R.
s. Coke, relates an incident, showing that
New Jersey was not whit behind Massaehu-
sets, in resisting the Tea Tax, that led so di-
rectly to the war of Independence. The letter
says: 'In the year l773'4, as is.well known,
several vessels were dispatched to the then
colonies, loaded with tea among other places
some were sent to Philadelphia. Hearing OF
the difficulties to be apprehended in landing
their cargoes, one or more of these vessels
proceeded to Cohansey Creek, a stream OF
some size, which runs through Cumberland
County, and empties into Delaware Bay;
while lying at anchor in that stream, several
gentlemen of the neighborhood, in broad day
light, and undisguised, went on board the
ship or ships, and threw the whole of the tea
into the water / recollect but one name
that of Major Howell-belonging TO family
well known throughout the State. General
Giles further informed me that bills Of findict-
ment were found against the parties con-
cerned in this transaction; which, however,
as the troubles increased, were never brought
to trial, but that those indictments still ex-
isted among. the records of the Court Of
Bridgetown,% uvrytwgu IIIT,2 -
