A special term of ilfc Circuit court lor
Tuscaloosa county, will “be held on the
fourth Monday in November next.” The
business will be confined to the civil- dock
et ; and to the trial of Thomas Jemison, on
his application, who is charged with a crim
inal offence.
Tha Gainesville Pilot proposes that the
State convention for the nomination of a de
mocratic candidate lor Governor, shall as.
sembleon the first Monday in January 1047;
that the delegates he elected by ballot in
the several counties ; and that the ratio or
representation bo the same as the repre
sentation of each county in tho Uenerel as
sembly- We pfeler a period several months
later for the assembling of a convention ;
and also, that the representation be gov
erned by the democratic strength of the
counties- It will be time enough, however,
to dispose of these preliminaries, when the
discussion reln'.ive to the necessity for a con.
Ventjon is disposed of.
The Mobile papers announce to the pub
lie, that Mrs. Herbert, late of this cily, has
taken “a commodious building situated at
the South-west corner ol Royal and St.
Michall streets” which has “been thorough
ly repaired, and replenished lor the accom
modation of boarders and lodgers.” Mrs.
H. during the last season kept a most excel
lent house—among the best in Mobile. Per
sons visiting Mobile, who may patronize
her, this season, will, we uro sure, find as
good accommodations at her house, as at
■ny of the other boarding houses in the
city.
FnoM Veha Cbuz.—Gen. Paredes left
Vera Cruz the 2d inst. for Havana, on board
a British steamer. He wa9 saluted from
the Castle San Juan D'Ulloa when leaving.
News of the battle of Monterey had been
received by Commodore Conner from
Vera Cruz. It was expected that another
attempt would be made on Alvarado. The
health of the Squadron was good. One of
Walker’s men, taken by the Mexicans just
before the battles of the 8th and Oth, esca
ped t« the squadron, and was lunded at
Hrasos St. Iagn.
Tire Charleston papers report a mnjority
for Mr. Holmes, for congress, of O il votes.
Wo sco it stated that the election will be
contested for irregularity. Mr. Jno. Ashe
was elected to the State Senate, from the
city, without opposition. Mr. II- U. Khett
is returned to congress from St. Pauls
Parish.
After all the rejoicings of the Whigs ovor
the Maryland election, a close scrutiny, of
the returns, shows than they have been cal
culating'“without their host.” The House
of Representatives contiins eight more dem
ocrats than the House of 1844 ; and the
Senate one more dcmocrut. The whigs
have a mnjority in both branches thisyear;
hut the average of party strength in 1844,
“’45, nnd ’46, shows that the democrats
lave lost nothing. Last year they had an
extraordinary gain : this yenr they have
lost a little of that gain.
Hon. Georg3 Bancroft, United States
Minister to England, vice Hon. Jno. A. Dix,
who declined the appointment, (so says the
New York Journal of Commerce,) took pas
sago in the Great Western, which left on
the 11th, for Liverpool. Gen. Armstrong,
U. S. Consul at Liverpool, is ulso a passen
ger in the Western.
On the reception in Gainesville, Ala , of
the ‘‘news’’ that Gen- Taylor had been at.
tacked at Monterey, by the Mexicans, the
Captain of the Alabama Feusibles, S- S.
Perry, esq., ordered out his men “to take
into consideration the propriety of reporting
themselves to the Governor” us ready for
service.
A recently melancholy case of suicide by
on artist—very similar in that of the painter
Hayden, in London, occurred in Boston.
Some letters found in his studio announce
that he had determined on self destruction,
in consequence of a bitter sense of neglect,
on the part of the public, and the approach
of absolute want to his helpless family. Be*
sides a letter describing his extreme wants
and keen disappointments in Boston, he left
the following, addressed to the Boston pub
lic,
“Boston, Oct. 4,1846.
To the Editors of the Boston papers and cili
sr.nt generally:
Forgive me for leaving you thus. My time
has come. 1 have lived long enough in this
heartless world. I am in debt about fifteen
hundred dollars, and have left an exhibition of
Scriptural Paintings which have been exhibited
in the State of New York for two hundred and
fifty dollars a week. 1 beg pardon for soliciting
roar sympathies in behalf of my dear wife and
helpless children. Do, for God’s sake, take
some measures to let the public know of these
paintings. There must be kind hearts enough
to go and see them to relieve her from all cm
barrassmeuts. Yours truly,
T. G. GALE.”
Tbs Boston papers say that the paintings
referred to are "masterly”—full of sublime
conceptions, and beautifully finished.
Another day of Thanksgiving.—-The
common council of the ci'v of Mobile, have
passed resolutions directing Iho Mayor, to
“ appoint Thursday, the 8th day of Novem
ber next, as a day of prayer, thanksgiving,
and praise to Almighty God.”
Hon. Henry W. Hilliard delivered an
address, recently beforo the officers, patrons,
and students of the Military Institute of
Tuakegee Ala.
The late British minister Mr. Fox, died
at Washington the 13th instant—aged 56
years. 3
The Richmond Tragedy.
The preleminary investigation before the
Mayor ol Richmond, in relation to the kil
ling of Mr. Hoyt, by the husband of Mrs.
Myers, has brought out the most extraordi.
nary correspondence, between that lady
and Hoyt, that has ever appeared in the
public newspapers. We subjoin nvo of the
letters one from Hoyt to Mrs. Myers,
i and one from Mrs. M. to Hoyt, The let
I ter from Hoyt, was intercepted by Col,
Pollard, the lather of Mrs. M. and is in re
j ply to a letter from Mrs. M. The letter
i from Mrs. M. is a fair sample of all rhe
| others—they all breathe the same unaltera
ble love and devotion to Hoyt. Prior to
his death Hoyt made affidavit, that no im
proper intimacy had existed between Mrs.
Myers, and himself.
Thursday Evening, 18th June.
My dearly Loved Virginia—*
While lying on toy couch, where I had
been for some two hours, thinking of thee,
I much to my surprise and delight your dear
sweet tetter of the 13th inst. was handed
me. Little did 1 think, while having sweet
thoughts of thee, 1 should so soon have words
before mo traced by thy loved hand, fresh,
from thy heart; nnd you may well imagine
what plensure of surprise the receipt of your
loved letter gaVe me.
You tell memv letter must be placed in
the Post Office Thursday afternoon, to reach
you on Saturday, and it was past 7 o'clock
when 1 received your letter. The mail
leaves in the morning at 8 o'clock. So you
see 1 have hut little time to write { hut that
little shall he devotsd to thee, my preciohs
dear one, for you well know my time is nev.
er as pleasantly passed as when devoted to
my loved Virginia. You cannot conceive,
darling, the pleasure your letter has given
me; iho 'parts of all your letters give me
1 pain. 1 hope though the time is not Tar dis
| lant when letters from you will contain noth
| ing but what is pleasure for you to Write and
j for me to read.
Your dear, sweet letter, darling, does
j give me “proof beyond doubt” how devoted
| ly you ore mine, and mote proof I ennnot
j give that 1 am yours devotedly ; though ’tis
a pleasure lor me to reiterate all that t have
said. You well know dearest one, how you
are loved hy me, arid 1 know sufficient ol
thy dear heart to satisfy mo that you do de
serve all my affection, nnd I once more tell
you ’tis all yours ; no division shall be made
in it; ’tis all thine, loved one; keep it;
) mciisii h—uuu meu u win never lursunt, ,
'tis entwined around thv soft ai d pte.-ious
heart too strong ever to be severed. Be
satisfied of this my precious loved Virginia.
Have na doubt of me, durling, there is no
cause for it; you have n hold on my affec
tion which you can always retain if you
choose ; ’twill not leave till bid by thee.
Your loved letter tells me wo arc soon to
meet again, and happy will be that moment,
when 1 can again look on that sweet face
and press to these thy ruby lips ; and oh !
[hat when we do meet, we could remain to
gether, never to be separated. You ask how
1 can refuse to make you happy ? You well
know dearest Virginia, how anxious I am to
make you a happy woman, and I would
, willingly give mv life to accomplish it, would
that but do it. You can but know, that it is
not an easy mutter ti accomplish all we
wish. When we meet wo will have a long
talk on this eubjeect, so necessary to our
mutual happiness. —Loved one, can you fan.
cy that 1 think you would not he hind to me,
—kind to me ! you could not bo otherwise;
this 1 am satisfied of, Virginia ; and Virgin
ia. there is not an hour that 1 do not wish
what We have been so long anxious for"
could be brought about. Reflect on my
I conduct, does it not prove this? You well
know it docs, you must know it. Continu
ally am I wishing you were mine, mine
alone. Mv whole thoughts are to accom
plish this dear love ; this subject is never
out of my mind, and never shall be till my
happiness is [complete. I know my loved
one, 1 could make you happy at once ; but
in doing this I am anxious that every thing
should be so arranged that this happiness
should continue- You have had sorrow
enough, darling, and in making a change, I
want all to be sunshine, no clouda or dark
i spots before you- Do you not agree with
I mo that this would be best love? Soon we
I will talk this over, and you will he satisfied
| that I am anxious to make you perfectly bap.
I py
L'eillt'Bl vn^miil, tan J'UU unnn,, u
nioaffent that my love is not “ sufficiently
strong”for any trills whatever. If 1 could
accomplish your perfect happiness I would
not care for my happiness yours is all that I
look to j your being unhappy would make
me so. Doubt not my love, I beg of you,
dear; you must know that you are the on»
ly being 1 ever did love ; why doubt me then?
I doubt thee not darling. Why, darling,
should I tell you that I’lovc you, if I do noil
What am I to gain bv it 1 Ido love you and
love to tell you so, I was in hopes loved
one, when you got with your mother end
family you would have been less miserable,
but it seems there is no change. Now I
beg of you to try in all your power to be
less miserable during your stay aw iy from
me. and not indulge in sucli awful thoughts
as you often do. Did you reflect how mis
erable you would leave me, dearest, were
you to carry out with your own hands what
vou speak of? Oh! I beg of you ; vanish
from your mind such awful thoughts. Lov.
ed darling, t think it best that your dear
mother should know of your misery ; of this
you can best judge with your dear sister.
Now, my precious loved one, you must
not find fault with me for sending so short a
letter, you see I have had hut little time to
write. Your letter was post marked the
17th, though written on the 13th; and had
1 time you should have one of my long let
ters. i have been interrupted frequently,
Bince 1 commenced this, and ’lis now late.
Pardon me for its shortness, wont you love ?
For you know when I have had the opportu
nity. 1 have given you long letters. You
forgive me for this short one, love. I know
you do ; 1 almost fancy 1 hear those sweet
lips say yes.
How 1 wish 1 could bo with you in the
country, could we but pass a few days to
gether, your friends would still say, ‘-how
changed*’' Once more I must tell you that
1 love you dearly.—Last night I had a sweet
dream oi thee ; could you but know ull my
thoughts, you would say my love was equal
to yours, precious angel.
Now, darling, pray forgive me ; I really
have not had lime to review the half of your
dear kind letter; end if 1 am not allowed
another opportunity to write you during
your absense, it shall be done in person
when we meet, and (hat sweet meeting will
soon come, I hope; tho' you tell me it is
yet twelve days off; I hope the’ ’twill he
shortened. Darling, dear darling, it really
grieves me to send you so short a letter when
I know you expect a long one, nnd to make
up the deficiency you must read such words
as please you twice.
Please remember mast kindly to Vourdeur
sister. Givo me one dear, sweet, long kiss,
iu imagination, and believe me yours truly
and sincerely.

The intelligence from the army is mere
full in detail ihun that received a few da\s
ago : the first news, however, is confirmed
in all its material parts. We subjoin the
following items of news trom the Picayune:
MontekeY, Mexico, Sept. 29, 181G.
Gentlemen :—We are at length in quiet
possession of this place, the last division of
Anipudia's army having marched out yes
terday morning. The lsf division march*
ed'oiiton the 2Gth, the flic 27lh, and
the balance on the 28th.
Monterey, Sept. 29, 18-1XS, )
6 o'clock, Afternoon, y
An eipresS rider has this moment arrived
from Salinas, which plac£ fie'feft this morn
ing. It is-Only a days ride1 this side of Sal
tillo, and he states on the.aytlmyfy ofa Mux-,
ican, that Santa Anna arrjyed yt that city,
yesterday morning on the evening previous,
and at once commenced fortifying the place
with vigor. Ilo had no less than 13,000
with him, which, added to those Which left
here under Ampudia, will swell hit army
over 20.0C0 men. Report farther has it,
that ho is to erect works and batteries close
by tho Itineonudn—the limits of our lines
by the sixty days* truce. If all this should
prove true, the army may have ^loodier
work to do than ever. One thing is Certain
~-8anta Anna was hourly expected here
when Oen. Taylor arrived, and many think
that Ampudia's reasons for wishing to retire
was the fnct that he found himself to a de
gree surrounded after the successes of the
2d division,and was anxious to form a Junes
lion with his master on the best terms he
could make. We shall know more about
this matter in a day or two.
We are glad to hear that the report
brought over by the McKim ol the death of
Col. McClung, of the Mississippi volunteers,
was totally unfounded. An officer who left
Monterey on the 0th insi says that ho was
improving and it is thought he would recover.
The number of Mexican* killed and woun
ded has not been ascertained. It is believed
to be 2000. The number of the American
killed and wounded is set down ut 500, of
whom 200 are believed to have been killed.
Geneeal Taylor and Ampudia.—At
the consultation between these Generals, af
ter the three days siege of Monterey, the
speech ol the Mexican Chief opened thus.—
N. O. Tropic.
‘•As 1 understand that the Mexican Gov
ernment has consented to receive n coin
rtiissiuner to settle all mutters uf dilference
with the United Stales—as I was authorized
to retire from the city without offer ing any
resistance, and us the glory of the Mexican
nation and arms have been retrieved, 1 am
Willing there Shall ho no more bloodshed.”

IT la admitted by every- ciilightened nation,
that profound gratitude is dye to Almighty
God for his mercy and beneficence to man ; and
that it ia the especial duty of every Christian
government, in 6ome suitable niannei, to make
public manifestations of a sense of that obliga
tion. In the discharge of that duty, my prede
cessors have established Abe practice of ap
pointing a day of fasting, humiliation, and pray
er—concurring most heartily with their views
upon this subject, and the course which they
have pursued—and in view of the many cir
cumstances by which we arc surrounded, which
point to its necessity and propriety at line
time.—t have appointed the fourth day of De
cember next for that purpose, and respectfully
request esch denomination of Christians in the
Sute of Alabama, to cause public worship to
be made in etch of their respective churches
on that day, and I recommend (o all of the cit.
