For the last two days we have lad no mail North of Richmond, or West c Columbus, Georgia. Where or with whom fajiiures so fre quently take place, we are 'unable ta say. It is, however, astonishing to us that tie Northern mail should ever fail at this season, now that the tiansportation the whole route fron.jNew Y6rk to this city, is by Rail Roads and Steamboats.— It is, however, true that the failures from the North are more frequent than frorp the West. There is certainly culpable neglect j somewhere, and we should suppose if the Post Master Gen eral used ordinary diligence, the e> il of which the whole country complains so much, might be cor reeled, at least on the great N irthern and Western mail route, which is certai ily the most . important one in the Union. But nothing short of such neglect of the public interesi is to be ex pected of an Administration, who he ?d no com plaints unless they are made by some loyal, rank and file administration man. j We are aware that it would be unjust, very unjust, and illiberal to visit upon thej head of the department the sms of all its agents! contractors and sub-contractors. But when w# have such frequent and repeated evidences of he non-per formance of their obligations to the ] üblic, with out any appaient effort to correct he evil, we must believe that there is a want of j roper atten tion on the part of those who controi this impor tant branch of the government. Geul. Ilarrrison. In redeeming our pledge to preser. t the views of Genl. Harrsion on the subject ol Abolition > we give place to-day to a long articb from the Charleston Courier, in which the Editors of that press, who are supporters of the present Admin' istration, admit that Genl. Harrison n<lw “ stands before the republic “ redeemed, regerterated and disenthralled" from the diabolical genius of nor~ i hem abolitionism. We proclaim t7,j as we pro mised, and sound it trumpet-tongue\l,that echo may take it up, and send it, from hilltop to hill top, with loud and joyous peals, xn triumph ihrough the land" We cannot take leave of the subject without inviting the attention of the Van Bunn press in Georgia to the article from the Chari rston Cou rier. It will, we hope, give them some new lights on the subject of Gener 1 Harri son's opin ions on abolition, and will probably eiable them, with some effort no doubt, to exhibit a more strict regard for truth. In the first article which we introduced to our readers, on this subject, we expressed? the opin ion that Gen. H. was unstained with the doc trines of Abolition. We think, we havt; establish ed conclusively to the satisfaction of >all unpre judiced minds, the truth of our assertion, with which we shall, for the present at anj rate, close the articles on that subject. Should it be necessary, however, in o ar opinion, to open again our columns, to vindicate him from the slanders of a press that stop at not ling which stands in the way of their party succe; s, we shall most cherfuhy do so.

Correspondence of the Journal of Commerce. j Montevideo, Dec. 26,1539. j We continue without any alteration in the | state of the country politically, except the arrival of Admiral Du potkt, with one frigate, one cor vette, and six small brigs of war. fitted as bomb vessels. This makes the French force in the river La Plata near thirty square-rigged vessels. It is understood the new Admiral will not take any ; other steps than those of Admiral Lk Blanc, j and the bomb-vessels are employed cruising in ; shoal water, which their light draught adapts them for. There will not be any thing like the bombardment of Buenos Ayres, as the French arc aware they could not take possession of the town, and the property of foreigners only would suffer to any amount; so that here we are, and no more prospect of the removal of the blockade than there was a year ago. The port is full of vessels, some ; of them have been here a year, all waiting for some movement, which has been hoped for “in a month or two” for a year past. The last news from the army of General La value was rather unfavorable, he having had several small parties defeated,and some desertions. In this province there has been no movement of note —both armies remain within a day’s ride of the city, and within sight of each other. Habeas Corpus Case.— On Saturday morn ing the RecordeU'gave his final decision in the case of Ottaway, claimed as a fugitive slave, by Mr. Hatcher, of Chesterfield county, Virginia. In giving his decision the Recorder stated that the constitution and the laws of the United States authorized the return to a slave holding state, of a slave who escaped therefrom, but did not au thorize his return to that state, when brought therefrom by his master into a non-slave holding state. But inasmuch as the slave Ottaway had been brought by his master fiom Virginia, to Pennsylvania, from whence he escaped to this state, and as the laws of Pennsylvania authorised a master coming into that state with his slave, to hold the said slave to labor and service for six months in that state, it was right and proper and in conformity with the laws of the United States of Pennsylvania and this stale, to authorize the said master to take his slave with him back to Pennsylvania, whence he escaped—and to give a certificate accordingly. The Recorder therefore gave a certificate to Mr. Hatcher to take his slave Ottaway back to the state of Pennsylvania whence he escaped, and he will be taken accordingly.— Express. A Liverpool letter writer says:—“You can have no idea of the ferment of “loyalty” which has agitated England. Ireland and Scotland, on the recent “happy occasion.” From London, the modern Babylon, to the pettiest p illage, Monday, the 10th of February, was kept as a general holiday. For the British people are exceedingly “loyal” —to the latest occupant of the throne." WILMINOTON AND WELDON RaIL RoAD ( OPEN. —We mentioned last Thursday (says the Wilmington Advertiser, of the 12th inst ) that the cars upon this road would run over the en tire line on Monday the 9lh inst. The road in fact was completed on Saturday morning, but as some preparations had been made to celebrate the event on Monday, it was determined not to run the first engine from one terminus to the other, until that day. Accordingly on Monday, at noon, the first car ever propelled upon 161 miles of continuous railroad arrived at Wilming ton, N. C., from Weldon on the Roanoke. This proud day in the annals of our State, was signalized by thundering demonstrations of joy. The great cannon did tell it to the clouds in peals of earthly thunder. One hundred and sixty one guns were fired— being one for every mile of road completed. The guns were managed with such skill, that we have no accident to record. In the afternoon a general invitation was given to go up to the depot and witness a mixing of the waters of the Roanoke, Tir, and Neuse, which had been brought down for the purpose, with those of the Cape Fear. The union was cemented with the best “ Old Nash”—to the most perfect satisfaction of all the bystandeis, who hailed it as a consummation, or rather as a combination, highly honorable to themselves. At night the town was illuminated, and the houses of Messrs. Gw ynn, M’Rae, Cow an, and Owen were the theatres of revelry and mirth until a late hour of the night. The Disputed Territory in Maine.— The Augusta Age states, on the authority of a report lately made to the Governor of Maine, by Benjamin Wiggin, Esq., who has visited that territory for the purpose of obtaining information, under instructions from the Governor, dated Feb ruary 6, that a house has been built and fitted up for barracks, on the South side of the river St. John, 23 miles below the mouth of Fish river, and nearly opposite to the Madawaska river. This house is 60 feet long, 30 wide and two sto ries high. It is built of hewn timber, and is fit ted with bunks sufficient to accommodate 100. It is now under the charge of one man. Along the Madawaska river a tow path has been con structed on each side of the river, a distance of 26 miles. At the head of this tow path, about two and a half miles below the foot of Temiscouta Lake, barracks were erected last season, 80 feet long and 30 feet wide, with two small out build ings. Here is stationed a guard, consisting of a corporal and five privates of the 11th regi ment. On the Western shore of Temiscouta Lake, fifteen miles from the lower end of the lake, eight j buildings are erected, consisting of barracks foi . soldiers, quarters for officers, a hospital, magazine, store house and commissary’s house, the whole surrounded on three sides by ditches, breastworks and stockades, —the works on the fourth side be ing unfinished. These works were commenced last Spring. The present force there consists of 175 men, exclusive of their officers and servants. —The officers are Major Chambri, commanding, one captain, two lieutenants, and one ensign. The British have also built on the lake the last season, a number of flat bottomed boats, suited for the transportation of ordnance, and a number of keel boats, capable of carrying fifty men. A road has been laid out between ihis post and that below the foot of the lake, a distance of 16 miles, and put under contract, and about 10 miles, are finished. The road from the lake of the river de Loup, on the St. Lawrence, a distance of 34 miles, has been repaired the last season.—Bos ton Patriot. Tuscaloosa, (Ala.) March 9th. Fatal Occurrence. —-A difficulty between Washington Moody, Esq., and Maj. John Cani ly, both ot this city, led to a|most tragical issue on Thursday last, sth instant. It is said, that Major Cantly had threatened the life of Mr. Moody, and was near the door of the latter, when Mr. M. pre sented a double-barrelled gun and lodged the con tents of one barrel in the stomach of his adversa ry ; and as Maj. C. turned to make his escape, the other barrel was discharged, which took effect in the back of his head, when he instantly fell to the ground. Mr. Moody delivered himself up to the civil au thorities, and without a prosecution or warrant against him, entered into a recognizance before Judge Williams and A. B. Meek, Esq., in the sura of four thousand dollars for bis appearance at the next Circuit Court of Tuscaloosa County. Maj. Cantly died of his wounds in tenor twelve hours after receiving them. As the facts will soon undergo judicial investigation, it is pro per that public opinion should remain unbiased that the accused may, as he no doubt will, have a fair and impartial hearing. We shall, therefore, not enlarge on this melancholy affair. } The funeral services were performed on F ri j day afternoon in the Episcopal Church, by the i Rev, Mr. Knapp, attended by the Masonic Frater- I nity ; after which the deceased was buried with | the usual solemnities of that ancient Order. Owing to his misfortunes in business. Major { Cantly left his family consisting of a wife and I seven children, in a very destitute situation. Pub lic sympathy is much enlisted in their behalf, and j we have every reason to hope, that all necessary ! kindness will be extended to them in their heavy affliction. From the Charleston Courier. The candor, which you have shewn, in regard to the charge, attempted to be fixed upon Gen. Harrison, of favoring the movements of the Abo litionists, induces me to suppose you will do him j the justice, to insert the following extract of a let ter of his to a friend, accompanied by some evi dence from a newspaper of the day. I am one of those who thought with you, that it was important he should hold a plain and deci ded language on that subject. Not that I think the South ought to count in the smallest degree, upon the professions of any man, in regard to that matter. She must defend herself; she must rely upon herself; she must lean on no foreign aid whatever, and above all, she must reject and spurn the idea of patronage and protection. With the principle of instructions, universally received and acted upon, nothing is more empty than a profes sion of the kind, on the part of most public men. It holds good, just so long as it is not required to be put in practice, and not a moment longer. So long as public opinion at the North is against the wicked movements of the Abolitionists, nothing is safer there, than to declare war upon them, but should they get the upper hand, and instruct their Senators and Representatives, you will see them do, on that subject, what they did on the Tariff in 1828—vote most reluctantly, no doubt but still vote, against their professed principles, and their Southern friends. The yeas and nays, at such a moment are the only test to be relied on. Gen. Harrison, in voting for the admission of Missouri, in the face of the opinion of his own constituents, and forfeiting his place in Congress rather than violate the Constitution, and shake the foundations of the Union,gave thestrongest, because a practical pledge, of what he would do in future. He shewed himself, at once, a brave man, and a good citizen. But, although I think, so far as our peace and interests are concerned, neither his declaration, nor Mr. Van Buren’s, on this subject, are likely to prove of much practical utility, yet I agree that a public man, aspiring to the Presidency of this great country, ought to speak out, on a subject so fundamental, and so important to its future peace. It is an issue no one ought to shrink from meet ing, on whom any share of public responsibility is cast, least of all, he that asks to be trusted with the chief Executive authority of the land. Gen. Harrison’s declarations have been suffi ciently explicit to repel the idea, that he has any objections to make them, at a moment when they may be turned against him by an equally skilful and unscrupulous foe. He stands as fully com mitted as his competitor; and whether his prom ise is not at least as much to be relied on, he puts himself upon the country to decide, on the evi dence of their past coduct—the Missouri restric tion, and the Tariff of ’2B. But I am far exceeding what I had in view, when I sat down to write these remarks—l will conclude by copying from a late letter from Gen. Harrison, to a member of Congress from this State, the following passage. You will see that it has particular reference to you. “I saw some time since an article from the Charleston Courier, statingthat my Vincennes’ speech contained all that the South had a right to expect on the abolition question. In a subse quent article, however, the Editor says that I had concealed my sentiments, on the subject, after I had been brought out as a candidate for the Presi dency. In this the Editor gieatly errs. The speech was delivered at Vincennes, in June 1835. At that time my name was upon every anti-ad ministration paper in Indiana, as the opposition candi late, and upon most of those in Ohio, and I had been nominated, in a very considerable num ber of public meetings, many months before. My first nomination at Harrisburg, Pa. took place in the fall of 1835. I enclose you an Albany pa per ofFeb. 7, 1835, to shew how extensively I was then regarded as a candidate for the Presiden cy*” A Subscriber. Gen. Harrison. —We cheerfully give place to the remarks of our correspondent, “ A Sub scriber” ; and he would have been just as wel come with any other title or any other name.— It has been rendered manifest, we trust, by our course, hitherto, that we are not among those who, merely because we favor another candidate for the Presidency, would vilify Gen. Harrison, misrepresent his views, or rob him of the laurels he earned so well, by his skill and prowess in the wars of our republic, both against the ruth less savage and the haughty Briton, or the civic wreath to which he has so well entitled himself by his eminent services in the civil line. We de clare, in all sincerity of heart, that it aflbrds us pleasure to do justice to Gen. H., or to any other distinguished man to whom we may be political ly opposed. It is with gratified, and not with reluctant feeling, therefore, that we open our col umns to the vindication of that tried and veteran patriot against any charge affecting his fame, and especially against the foul charge of abolitionism, of which ever since our knowledge of his Vin cennes’ speech, we have believed him, and still believe him, to be as innocent as we are. No one is more ready than we, to extol the conduct of Gen. H., in Congress, on the Missouri ques tion, when his sense of duty to the Constitution, the Union and the South, induced him boldly and fearlessly to oppose the infamous Missouri re striction, against the sentiments of his constitu ents of the Cincinnati (Ohio) District, and at the hazard of political martyrdom, which was, in fact, subsequently inflicted upon him for his course on that memorable occasion and perilous cn&is. So, too, although we cannot but con demn, and still do condemn the doctrines and spirit of an oft cited extract, from his Cheviot speech of 1833, in which he expressed himself in favor of appropriating the whole surplus na tional revenue, with the assent of the slave-hold ing tales, to the united purposes of emancipa lion md colonization in inseparable connexion, and broached the dangerous heresy that such a measure, if assented to by the slave-holding States, would be within the constitutional com petency of Congress, without an amendment of the Constitution which is equivalent to giving Congress constitutional and therefore full power over the abolition of slavery-the qualification proposed by him being one, not, of right but of expediency merely; yet we have always admit ted and proclaimed that the extract in question was an isolated one—found in the midst of an address, replete with sound doctrine on the ques tion of Slavery, and its constitutional inviolabili ty in the several States, save by their own volun tary action; and when we read his Vicennes speech, of 1835, reiterating those sound doctrines lashing the abolitionists with merited severity’ for their fanaticism, folly, and infidelity to th/ir constitutional duty, and taking the high ground that the discussion of the abolition of slavery in a non-slavebolding State, was an abuse and vio alien of the constitutional privileges of speech and the press—we at once admitted and announ ced, that the anomalous passage in the Cheviot speech, the particle of chaff in the bushel of wheat, was amply atoned for—and that it would thenceforth be unfair and unjust to attempt to identify Gen. Harrison, with abolition, or the abolitionists, especially as those vile wretches had then vilified and repudiated him, through the Emancipator, their leading organ, and the anti slavery Almanac, one of their insidious publica tions, to abuse and excite the public mind of the North, against the rights, institutions and inter ests of the South. With unfeigned delight then, not because wc have at all abated our political opposition to Gen. H. for the Presidency, but because we love to do justice, and we take sin cere pleasure in arraying the distinguished men of the Union in favor of the constitutianal rights of our own loved and cherished South, do we this day, in the communication of our corres pondent, give place to an extract of a letter from Gen. Harrison, dated a few days since, and ad dressed to a distinguished member of Congress from this State, (and which we know to be gen uine) record his full and unqualified indorsement of his Vincennes’ Speech. We said, a short time ago. in one of our editorial articles, that but a line was needed, from Gen. H., to clear his skirts, so utterly and thoroughly from abolition ism, as to disarm even his bitterest foes of that weapon against him, and to render them asham ed to wield it any longer. That line has been given ; and Gen. Harrison stands before the re public “redeemed, regenerated and disenthralled” from the diabolical genius of northern abolition ism. We proclaim it, as we promised, and sound it trumpet-tongued, that echo may take it up, and send it, from hill top to hill top, with loud and joyous peals, in triumph through the land. We, at least, rejoice to be assured that whether our own favorite candidate, Mr. Van Burcn, or his opponent, Gen. Harrison shall succeed, overwhelming discomfiture and defeat— that isolation of them far the scorn and indigna tion of the republic which the gallant and gener ous Henry Clay declared should be their merited doom—awaits them ; and the rights of the South will stand uninjured, unimpaired and in panolpy of safety, under the sacred banner of the constitu tion. We oppose Gen. H., therefore, not as an ab- Oiitionist, but as a tariff and internal improvement man,, and one whose views of the constitution, generally, are too latitudinarian for our creed of “Union and State Rights,” and especially and de cisively because he is in opposition to an incum bent, who boldly and generously came to the aid and rescue of the South, at a moment when her rights or the Union were imperilled by the fran tic efforts of criminal fanaticism, and because no bly planting himself on the constitution, he free ly and unequivocally, staked his political fortune on the maintenance of the institutions of the South, in their whole constitutional integrity. Here the Courier assigns the reasons which influence it in preferring Mr. Van Buren to Gen* Harrison for the Presidency, and defends itsel against the impression of Gen. H. that he w a charged by it with seeking concealment, both of which we exclude as not necessary to our pur pose, and then concludes in the following manly strain: We repeat, however, that Gen. Harrison now stands rectus in curia with the South—he has nobly scorned all concealment and thrown off all reserve,and,occupying a position, by the side of Mr. Van Buren, on the platform of the Constitu tion, he is justly and honorably entitled, so far as the slave question is concerned, to compete, on equal ground with Mr. Van Buren, for the votes and favor of the South. Let either be elected, and the Constitution is safe, the South is safe, and the Union,—the b'ood bought Union—the temple of Liberty—is safe and sanctified. Samuel Arams’ Conriner Rifle axr Shot Gun. —We have had presented to our notice the above named ingeniously contrived improvement in fire arms. It possesses the grand requisite of all useful improvements in such things—perfect simplicity. The piece when used as a rifle, resembles ordi nary arms of that description, and may be load ed as usual, or at the breech by a metallic car tridge. A small piece is unscrewed at the muz zle which loosens the inner or rifle barrel. This is kept in its place by means of an enlargement at the breech in that portion of the barrel in which the metallic cartridge is fitted. The space thus left when the inner barrel is removed, leaves room for a larger metallic cartridge for the shot gun, which may likewise be loaded in both ways. The rifle sight turns on a pivot, and may be put out of the way when the smoothbore is used. T. he perfect adaption of all the parts, renders the united barrels quite as firm as if in one entire piece and as a rifle it is not heavier—or as a shot gun, lighter than common arms of those kinds. We consider it as completely supplying the place ot two distinct pieces, and combining econ omy of space and money. For travellers such a gun would prove invaluable—while the hunter is thus enabled to command game of all descrip tions by a single gun. The change may be made in half a minute, from a rifle to a fowling piece. —Hail Hoad Journal.
