This we would !o, but that there will soon be an oppor tunity of testing unerringly, the truth of our respective assertions; and j to this test are we willing to subject our state wenti. We allude to the choice of Unit ed States Senator, in the place of Mr. Rowan, whose term of service expires on the 4th March next. If Ac be re-elected, we wiH's at once, frankly admit that we were premature in encircling Mr. Clay's brows with the laurels of victoryand that our friends have published representa f'mns at variance with thefact. Should Mr Uowan be permitfett to pass into ilijrnified retirement, we shall expect the Editors of the Star to act with equal in genuousness. This proposal will con vince even them, we trust, that we are making' no desperate efforts to conceal defeat. Illinois. - We believe the facts in re- ard to the vote for .

The papers of that place publish a Reso lution, defining the duties of the Presi dent, which makes it incumbent, on htm to acquaint himself with the principles ot Rail Road constructions; and to this end, requires him to visit the principal Works in this Country, and to ascertain, as near ly as practicable, what plan unites the greatest durability with the least expense in the construction.

Georg'a and the Cherohees. We have published, on the opposite page, an inte resting correspondence which has recently taken place between Mr. ' Wirt, late At torney General of tlo Unifed States, and Governor Gilmer of Georgia, in relation to the right of that State to extend its laws over the Cherokee Indians. The fonder gent I em; 'i halving been consulted in his profession as a lawyer, by the Che- rokees, for the purpose of obtaining his o pinion on 1 He cousrijtntionality of the act passed by the Legislature of Georgia ex tending laws over the territory occupied by them, deetned it respectful, as lie says, to acquaint Governor Gilmer that he was employed to bring the question before the Supreme Court of the Union. A sug gestion is also thrown out by Mr. Wirt, that the, matter ay be expeditiously ter minated, if Georgia will make a case by consent to be thus submitted. This let ter elicited the reply which follows it, from Gov. Gilmer, the piquancy of which is chiefly attributable, we presume, to the circumstance that Georgia is asked, in so many words, to bco'ne a party, by con sent, to the suit aboiit to be instituted.

At a late hour on Monday night, says the Cheraw Republican, of the 26th ult. it was discovered that several bales of Cotton were on fire in the rear of A. Muirhead's store, on Front-street.

Erastus Root was nom inated for Governor and Nath. Pitcher for Lieut. Governor. The fall of Algiers'-- What we copied in our last as a rumor, we announce to-day as a fact. Algiers, that den of Pirates, which has so long been the terror and shame of 'Christendom, and which has so repeatedly baffled the attacks of European potentates, has fallen into the hands of the French, almost without bloodshed. The particulars will be found under the appro priate head. Already, conjecture is busy as to the probable disposal which the Conquerors will make of the vanquished City, but the opinions are various and conflicting The New-York American in commenting upon this important event, remarks as follows : I "The French are the only Christian nation who in the course of three centu ries have completely vanquished these cor sairs. Other powers have contented them selves with chastising their insolence, & after driving the barbarians to some sti oulation of indemnity, have left them to renew their habits of cupidity & violence with as much industry and as little re morse as ever. Whether France will re tain possession of Algiers, is a question that is now earnestly agitated by the pol iticians of Europe We hope that the spi rit that has carried them triumphant with n the walls of Algiers, will maintain them there, in spite of the jealousy of England or the continental powers. By their ca pitulation with the Algerines, they may without any breach ol faith to them, either declare it a French colony, or transfer the right of dominion to any power whom their policy may 'point out ; or, in case nf the rest of Europe being too eager to share the spoil, they may restore it to the bar barous despotism of its late masters. The first of these is evidently the measure by which the world would be most benefited. A Freiich colony on the Barbary Coast would have more influence in civilizing those regions, than all the missions which Christendom could send there. A very few years would find thousands of French men with their national adaptability to circumstances, planting sugar canes and rearing camels in Africa, as naturally as if these had always been their occupation. Cultivation would not only be extended and commerce increased, but new channels of trade would be opened, whose benefits would be shared by other maritime na tions; while the infe rests of science, so far as a knowledge of Africa is concerned, would be more advanced in a single gen eration than they have been hitherto in centuries." The Indians The U. States Telegraph :ates, as the result ol advices from Nash ville; which miv he fuilv relied on. that t'hotfaws have notified the Presi dent, uflicially., 'hat they would meet htm on the '25th August, to conclude a treaty for their removal and exchange of Kinds JJghfning.

This enterprise, so interest ing on account of its own intrinsic import; ance and as the commencement of a sys tem of internal improvement in this sec tion of country, is thus actually begun, and we have everv assurance that it will he prosecuted with vigor, and completed with the utmost practicable expedition5 The perseverance, pu die spirit, and en ergy of a few enterprising individuals, to whom we are indebted for these favorable prospects, have had to contend with much cold indifference, sordid parsimony, arid even the active opposition of some who will reap a large share of the benefits vvhich must result from the success of the undertaking We hope soon to announce the commencement of the-Gallatin turn pike, and we wish we could speak with confidence of the probability of speedily witnessing the undertaking of a similar enterprise between this place &Mufrees borough.

Washington City, Sept. 3, Recent arrivals at Boston & New-York, bring English advices to the -S2d of July, (three days later than those by the Caledo nia) but they furnish no intelligence of the opening of the West-Iudia Ports. The New-York Journal of Commerce received by the Caledonia, a letler from its Lun. don correspondent, of Jiily 6th, in which is the following paragraph : Therej is some reason to apprehend that the American pu.'dic will count too ''confidently upon a successful result in the West-India ne gotiation, The Administration here stands nU-ds"' d to the British North American coionirs not to grant you a tiirect intei course with the islands, without previous no. ice.
