J. CHEWNING. Vicksburg June 19, 1839. The yellow fever has its appearance in New Orleans, bo reports the passengers in the different boats that passed up yesterday. The Sun mentions five cases, and several more on the docket.

Judgment was obtained in three oulof the five mentioned by the sun. We regret lo announce the death of Dr. B. W. Benson, Secretary of State of Mississippi.

I 1 I 0 We have had a most glorious and refreshing rain within the last 24 hours; and the crops were just in want of it. to get lo Liverpool, before the date of the account current.

But there is is another circumstance which nails this intended fraud indeliby on tl) forehead of Mr. Robins, and I challenge the production of the ac-count current, to bear me out in the position I am about to assume. This document will show that the "return commission" amounted to between fifteen and sixteen hundred pounds sterling, and the money paid Mr. Robins while in Liverpool, by H. Ai B.

tallied exactly, or at least within a few shillings of the same sum! Now if Mr. Robinsdid not intend according to the directions of II. 13. lo appropropriate this money exclusively to his own use, why was he so particular in keeping his expenses so close lo the proceeds of the return commission? Every circumstance connected with it proves, that he did intend to defraud not only the planters but the Bank of this money. The sums thus drawn by Mr.

Robins to defray his expenses are about equal to the salary of one of our foreign ministers. Mr. Robins would have scarcely indulged in so expensive a mode of living, if lie intended that the Bank, or the planters should ever hear that either were the sufferers. Mr. Robins adduces the certificate of the cotton clerk, to shield him from censure; but this certifi-cateonly proves, that when a man is in a drowning condition, he will seize at the frailest fabric for a WANTED immediately, to whom good eonstant employment will TnT LOST.

RANDOLPH, as a candidate for the office of Clerk of the Circuit Court of arren County. Mr. Robins and Mr. Cuewnino. We think the pubTic will get all the truth out of these gentle-men after a while.

Mr. Robins dont seem to like the Sentinel. We are not much surprized at that. We were the first to expose his thievery. We told the world that he abducted from the vaults of the Rail Road Dank 125 thousand.dollars without the knowledge or consent of the Board, and sent them to New Orleans to get specie funds to establish that public slealery, alias the Bank of Vicksburg, for his own private emolument and that of a few particular friends.

Mr. Robins dare not deny this; lience his want of affection for the Sentinel. The Directors too have rendered themselves objects of scorn. They seem to be mere buckram men. They give certificates of character to any one who places them in office and has any power to keep them there.

They have declared that both Chew-ning and Robins in their official conduct are marvellously proper men; but Chewning and Robins after ruining the bank, declare that each other are fit for the penctentiiiry Now if the Directors would give themselves separate certificates of character and Chewning and Robins endorse them, the whole will be inwnortplized. We think however it will take Mr. Robins some time to digest the doze Mr. Chewning has administered to him to-day. Mr.

Sheiton late President of the Brandon Bank, denies nil connexion between that Bank and Mr. Buck Walker, in the purchase of properly from the Sheriff of Madison county, Mr. Floumoy. We should very murh like to know by what arrangement with the Sheriff, Buck Walki was enabled lo buy op such masses of property, if tho Brandon Bank furnished neither the credit nor the shin plasters. We are inclined to the opinion, that if Mr.

Sheiton examines closely, ho will find Buck Walker, pretty deeply in with Iho Brandon Bank. The Bank has been ruined by, and the whole coun ty now suffer from, the gigantic speculations of about twenty individuals, a large portion of these directors. They have purchased land and negroes, and established Banks to swindle the people of their honest earnings. That most corrupt and profligate swindling shop, the Bank of Grenada, was organized in the foulest manner, under the auspices of tho Brandon Bank, or at least of its directors. The Bank of Lexington was got up in a similar foul and unrighteous manner; though not in so bungling a manner as the Grenada thieving shop.

The Grenada concern, and the rotten lazcr at the head of it, (F. F. Hummer,) are disgraceful even to the swindling institutions of the State and humanity itself. But fortunately for the people, the very name of the Bank of Grenada, is now an antidote to all credit, and it therefore cannot do much mischie The Mammotu Lottery. We publish to-day the scheme of the great lottery in New Orleans.

Six hundred prizes, ranging from 700 thousand to 1,500, and lo be be drawn and paid in real estate, or Bank slock, without any deduction. It is a rare chance for gambling on an extensive scale. The managers, Sylvester Si New York, have au thorized all the newspapers in the United States, the West Indies, Canada and the British provinces generally, to publish the scheme, etc. The printers bill will amount lo as much as the largest prize. Wejiope they will not serve the printers as Mr.

Franklin C. Heard, a commission merchant in Mobile did, some two years or more ago. Franklin opened a commission house in New Orleans, and resolving that the world should be extensively made acquainted with the firl, he issues an advertisement setting forth the advantageous terms on which he would execute business, and attached an order for all the papers in South Alabama and Mississippi to copy the same for four months, Btid forward their accounts. We complied with Franklin's order, and his "Factorage and Commission llouse" figured in our columns for the due time. But when we sent this extensive Commission Merchant his bill a few weeks ago, he returns us the pleasing information that it was all a mistake; that lie never intended lo be quite so liberal in his pal-ronaget that he did not derive any benefit from the notoriety he obtained through our columns, and finally he arrived at the conclusion lUat he 'ouHit not to pay for ill" Well the printers arc so accustomed to be robbed by all sorts of swindlers, com-niissiion merchants, play actors, bankers, jugglers and all other thieves, that like the Irishman with hanging "they m't mind it." We commenced this article to notice the "Mammoth Lottery," and we have lugged in Franklin C.

Heard, just to extend his fjm a little further. NOTICE. THE regular packet steamer Cumanche, Capt.

Thomas E. Robins' reply lo the charges which I brought against him aa cashier and cotton agent of the Commercial and Rail Road Bank requires at present a passing notice. As soon as I can procure the necessary documents, for which I have already written, I will lay before the public a full and complete refutation of the principal charges which he has advanced, and most satisfactory evidence of the corruption and profligacy with which he has conducted the affairs of tho Commercial and Rail Road Bank, as well as the degree of credit to be attached to some of his willing witnesses. I must acknowledge my obligations to him lor the "little remaining sjmpalhy he still retains for but I assure both him and the public that before I have done with him, his degraded position will entitle himself to all the sympathy that he and his few sattelites can spare. His publication affords me abundant materials.

Certificates from the same individuals, setting forth the whole truth, and all the facts will present his one sided statement supported by partial certificates, in an unenviable light. The certificate of J. P. Harrison is indefinite and incorrect. I never asked him for his evidence, and it was not my intention to do so, as I shall be able to establish the charge, by a reference to the statements themselves.

The statement Mr. 11. alludes to, as made out by Mr. Kennedy, was sent lo the Bank Commissioners and was an exact trans- cript from the Bank books. The statements I al luded to as being ido by Mr.

Robins and Mr. Kennedy, by his order, when R. went lo Europe, were sent lo the northern stockholders, and cava a false account of the available means of the Bank, If Mr. Harrison signed these, the documents them selves will disprove my charge. If he has not signed them, my position is sustained.

uut I shall answer every particular connected with this publication, in the fullest manner, and substantiate beyond a doubt the charge of dishones ty and lying, which I have brought against him. 1 he certificate of Reading Hall, likewise incomplete. They suppress the fact that Robins as well as myself at his own motion compromised by agreeing both to resign in ten days; and Mr. Ball had this document placed in his possession. Mr.

Robins labors hard to exonerate himself from the charge of designing to swindle the plam tera out of the one half per cent, return commission and to put it in hts own pocket. But his argument and evidence on this point are so impotent that ihey awaken pity radier than contempt. He tells the public the various arguments which he used to convince Humphreys lliddle that he was not entitled lo the one half per cent, for his own pocket money, and also the various reasons with which ho combattcd their resolution to force it into his pocket. Finally it appeared that II. B.

gave him "distinctly to understand, that to the owners of the cotton no abatement should be made." This was a sine pia, non it appears from Mr. Robins own showing, with II. B. No abatement should be mads to tho owners of the cotton; and then they loll Mr. Robins after hearing his arguments that ho may do what he pleases with the remuneration; hut let it be distinctly understood that it is given in payment of your services Well no doubt Mr.

Robins concluded that Hum phreys" Biddle were better judges of right and wrong than he was, and he agrted lo abide by their dictum. They declared that "no abatement" should be made to the planters, as the long established charge of three per cent, was but a fair remuneration, and Mr. Robins went into the arrangement. I think that I satisfy, any impartial mind from a careful examination of all the circumstances transaction that Mr. Robins did intend to follow the opinion of Humphreys and Biddle and take the half per cent, for the valuable services which he rendered them.

If he had not intended to pocket this half per why did he conceal the fact of its return in transmitting to the Bank the contract enterrcd into between him and Humphreys Biddle? If he had intended that the planters or even the Bank should receive the return commission would he not have mentioned it in his letter to the Bank accompanying ilia contract But Mr. Robins endeavors lo prove that he did not intend to appropriate thin half per cent, to his own use, by copying an extract from the letter of Hum. phrey's Biddle, dated the 27th March last, direct ed as 'resident of the Bank, enclosing the aecmint current. In this letter the "return commission" is mentioned, by Humphrey's Biddle, notwithstanding their objections and the declaration that it was given in payment ofit? (Mr. R's ,) services! Let ma examine this subject a little further, to show in a still stronger light the tricks which Mr.

Robins has resorted to in order to conceal this glaring fraud. It will be recollected that he arrived in New York about the 1st February last, and soon repaired to Philadelphia, where he must for tha first time have learned from the House of Jackson, Todd Co. that I was tn possession of a knowledge of the return commission, and also that I had matin a contract with this same firm in Liverpool, for the sale of the last crop of cotton at the same rate 2 percent. No doubt as soon as Mr. Robins knew that I had made such a contract, and that I was aware of the bonus, which II.

B. had promised hint for his valuable labors in Liverpool, he must have written immediately to II. insisting on their putting the percent, in the account c.irrent. There was ample time (about a month,) for a It tier temporary support. This clerk says "that I am in all cases settling with the planters their full and just dues, including all interest on cottons sold, as well as commissions allowed, through the aid and assistance of Cashier Robins while in England, commonly called "return commission." It seems the cotton clerk too has taken up the notes started by II.

fc aad gives all the credit to the aid and assistance of cashier Robins, though he is settling gratuitously no doubt for it with the planter. Mark the language of the clerk, "I am settling Now I can prove that long since Mr. Robins returned from England, and even since the account current was received, that this same cotton clerk did make oat the account sales of planters and signed which the full 3. per cent was charged, and no allusion whatever made to any return commission! I will mention one case at Selser, and the account sales, as well as several of a simi-character can be adduced to prove the reverse of this cotton clerk's certificate. Mr.

J. Bibby certifies, that I ordered him as teller, to pay the cheeks of my friends to the amount of five thousand dollars when they had no funds in Bank, and dint he obeyed me. Any man who would violate his trust at the dictum of a superior officer to preserve his place, would certainly not hesitate to give a false certificate to another superior, to effect the same object. One of the strong charges which Mr. Robins urges against me is the suppression of one of the resolutions passed by the board of directors, in relation to the Texas loan, 1 extract the charge in full, the suppressed resolution and the certificate of Mr.

Benton, the president, pro tern. "It will be recollected that Mr. Chewning published some time since in the columns of the Daily Whig, a resolution of the Boaid dated April 5 1839, by which he wasabsolved from having made any "Bargain, with W. M. Beale of New Orleans, to share ihe profits which might have accrued from said Texas Loan." This was but one of two resolutions passed at the same time, The 2d I now place before the Public, that they may then more correctly judge the sentiments of" the Directors as to the acts of this nan.

"Resolved In expressing the opinion as contained in ihe foregoing resolution, this Board waive no right or claims to damages which they, may or might have against said Chewning, lor the manner in which he endorsed said contemplated negotiation with Texas from N. A copy of all which- by order of the Board, was handed to. Mr. Chewning, whojvas then present and at the Board' Members present J. J.

I do hereby certify Ihe foregoing extract frcm tho report named, as well as the resolution, to be a true transcript from the minutes of the Board on the 21th April, 1839. W. II. BENTON, Pres't. pro tern." Now mark with what facility the facts will nail this falsehood to ihe recreant shoulders of Mr.

Robins. I annex both ihe resolutions signed by Mr. Robins himself; md it will be seen that the second is the very reverse of that published above by Mr. Robins, and completely exonerates me from all damages as the first 4id from all blame resulting from the Texian loan. SPECIAL MEETING.

Present Alexander M'Neill, A. Haynes, G. W. Ball, W. II.

Demon, W. C. Walker. On motion, it was Resolved, That, whereas various rumours, having been put in circulation, calculated to injuic the character of J. J.

Chewning late President of this Institution, growing out of his agency in the late contemplated Loan of $500,000 by this Bank to the Government of Texas. Therefore, be it Resolved, That we deem it but an act of justice to Mr. Chewning, to state, that after having been put in possession of all the facts, as we believe in any manner connected with said negotiation, he is unjustly charged with having formed any bargain, to share with V. M. Beale of New Orleans, the profits which might have accrued from said Loan.

Resolved further, That in expressing their opinion as contained in the foregoing Resolution, the Board waive all right or claims to damages against said Chewning which they might or may have against him, for the manner in which he conducted said contemplated negotiation withTexas, through V. M. Beale, of New Orleans. A true Copy of die Minutes. T.

E. ROBINS, Cashier. April 20, 1839. The above is a sufficient reply to that portion of Mr. Robins' address which depends on the Board of Directors.

It not only gives the lie to the very resolution which he introduces, but it proves that their official nets are mere blanks, and in fact they are the acts of the cashier. For instance he inserts on the minutes the names of Directors who are not present then records their vote on important matters, and alters or inserts resolutions to suit his own views. How will ho account for the discre pancy in the above He makes Mr. Benton state that I was present when the rcsulu-lions were adopted while the extract from the minutes certified by himself state that 1 was not present. He altered the resolution tio doubt to suit.
