Personal.
The military ordinance lately adopted by
the Louisiana Convention was reported by Mr.
Taylor, of St. Charles, ton of the late President
Taylor, and one of the most able and efficient
member* of the Convention ; and its passage
was advocated by him in a speech of marked
ability.
Col. Braxton Bragg, of a “little more grape"
celebrity, and Capt. J. K. Duncan and J. M.
Taylcr, have been selected by the Governor of
Louisiana as his aid-dt-camp.
Messrs. Watts and Yancey, delegates to the
Alabama Convention, have exhibited a-species
of liberality not often met with amongst the
public servants of the people, by returning to
the State, as a donatiou, the amount received
for their services during the sitting of the Con
vention.
Colonel John C. Fremont is in Albany, New
York, receiving much attention from his Re
publican friends.
Peace Conference Compromise.
The New York Herald of the 16th instant,
says: “The sub-committee appointed by the
General Committee of the Washington Peace
Conference have agreed upon tho Guthrie com
promise— the Crittenden scheme, excepting iu
the vital point about the future territory. Even
this, however, is something. But what next?
The General Committee may be divided upon
it, or the Conference may split upon it and
branch off into two or throe reports. Lst us
suppose, however, that the Conference will
adopt this Guthrie adjustment; it will avail
uothii g unless adopted by the Republican par
ty iu Congress. Will they adopt it? We think
not; for has not their President elect just as
sured them that “nothing is going wrong;"
that “ nobody is suffering anything," and that
“ time and patience” will settle all these polit
ical agnations ? Let this Peace Conference
close up its work and disperse. “Time and
patience” are the compromise of the Republi
can party, liaa not Mr. Seward said so very
plainly? Has uoi Mr. Lincoln said so? We
say, then, let the outside politiciaus of this
Peace Conlereuce o.oae up tneir work anu go

speak fur the Republican party."

In the United State House of Representatives,

“Revived, That neither Congress nor the

to Legislate upon or interfere with slavery in

Excursion to LmOrmnge.
We are indebted to one of tho party who at
tended the President elect from this city, for
the following aecount of the trip to LsGrange
On the departure of the Preaident elect, oi
Saturday last, from this city, a large uumber of
our most promineut citizens accompanied bin
as far as LaUrauge. Through the efficient ar
rangements, and generous courtesy of Georg<
G. Hull, Esq., the worthy Superintendent of
the Road, the special car occupied by the Pres
ident was appropriated exclusively to his use,
and that of the Committee of cilisens by whom
he was escorted. The number was just suf
ficient to make the journey pleasant and enter
taining, and it turned out, in every particular,
just as it was intended. It was a tribute due
to the eminent services of JerraasoN Davis in
the field and in the Couucll Chamber, as well
as a testimonial to tho high position to which
he has been called; and it is pleasiug to kuow
that our own city of Atlanta was not behind
in discharging her duty to the fullest extent.
At every station ou the Atlanta A West-Point
Road the people turned out in large numbers to
take a look at their new President, and hear
his views on the state of the country. Col.
Davis was ever ready, notwithstanding the
fatigue he had already undergone, to comply
with the wishes of the people, and at each place
made a short but soul-atirriDg address, as to our
present condition and future prospects.
At Newn&n, Coweta county, the demonstra
tion was a large and imposing one, the plat
form of the depot being crowded with ladies
snd gentlemen. As the train arrived, two mil
itary companies, in full uniform, filed down in
front of the President's car, and on Col. Davis
making his appearance on the platform, they
fired a salute. The gentlemen shouted “ hur
rahs " for “ Jeff Davis,” and the ladies waived
their handkerchiefs. The President elect spoke
with great feeling in his allusions to the ac
ceptance of the elevated post to which he had
been elected, but pledged himself to be waut
ing in neither toil or seal in his discharge o!
his public duties. lie announced that his pol
icy was peace, but, at the same time, assured
his friends that the North might make ii nec
essary that our independence might once more
have to be sealed with blood. He did not fear
the ultimate result, as he knew that with the
thousands of brave hearts he had seen every
where on his journey, success in the assertion
of our rights was certain to be achieved. His
remarks were brief, as the whistle of the en-
ae announced that the train must again move
He bowed them adieu, and the air rang
th the loud huzzas sud cheers of the vast
multitude.
At Grantville, the President and party took
nner. “Mine hast" at whose house we dined
had been notified that au unusual uumber of
guests would be upon him, aud had made am
ple preparations. The dinner was abundant
and excellent, and did great credit to the host.
Before starting onward. Col. Davis was again
called on by the citizeus to address them,
which be did briefly but iu bis felicitous way.
As the train approached LaGrange it was
round that almost everybody and his wife had
come to the depot. Large numbers of ladies
were present, and at this point the President
made one of his finest speeches. He seemed
to warm up to the highest pitch as he alluded
to the prospect of war and our power of de-
At LaGrange, a portion of the Committee
from Montgomery, Alabama—consisting of
Judge Meek and Mr. Charles T. Pollard—arri
ved in the up train—the other having remaiu-
ed at West Point. Committing the President
to their charge, the Atlanta Committee and
party bade Col. Davis farewell, and retired to
the up train, which, in a few hours, brought
back to our city. Nothing occurred du
ring the whole excursion to mar the pleasure
of the occasion. The President elect entered
into conversation freely with all who engaged
him, so that a stranger might have come into
the car and not have been able to distinguish
him from others of the party. There was no
display, no courtly airs, or affected hauteur
about him whatever. He is a modest, but dig
nified gentleman—affable and pleasant to eve
rybody—and we are quite sure that he made a
profound impression on all who came in con
tact with him.

The New Orleans Bulletin says :—The selec
tion of Hon. Jefferson Davis for President, and
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens for Vice Presi
dent of vhe new Provisional Government of
the Seceding States, has givon in this commu

able men, and true and loyal to the South, and
both will discharge the lunctions of their high
offices faithfully and with a proper regard to
the exigencies of the times. It must be borne
in mind, that these appointments are simply
provisional, and their terms are temporary, the
duration of them being limited to the time and
occasion when permanent officers will be cho

.|Hr We have been kindly permitted tooopy
the following letter to a citiaen of this city,
from a friend in Maine:
Frankfort Mills, Feb. 8, 1861.
Frirmd Saavy : Thinking you might like to
hear from your own native town in relation to
the position which most all of your old asso
ciates, snd the people of this town, stand in
the present crisis of our country, I have the
pleasure to inform you that three-fourths of
the people are true to their Southern brothers,
voted the Democratic ticket, and would take
up arms in the defence of their rights, if nec
essary. This, in my opinion, is the positionof
the whole Democratic party of this State, and
they are not small in numbers, even in these
degenerate times. We look upon this Uniou as
dissolved, and all we might do or say would,
of course, make no difference, but still, I have
a desire to inform you aud our friends in Geor
gia that when the time comes, which our Black
Republican friends are endeavoring to bring
about—that is, to coerce the Southern States—
they will have first to commence their civil war
iu the Free States, and subdue the traitors—as
they seem pleased to call us—before they can
commence their subjugation of the South. We
have, as you are aware, 63,000 good Democrats
iu this State who will not bear arms against tho
South, nor allow others, so far as they can pre
vent it. The Free States are all divided in
sentiment, a majority of whom are opposed to
making war upon the South. You have as
serted your rights in the State of Georgia, and
I hope you will maintain them. I was in hopes
our country would still go on and prosper un
divided ; but I had rather see it divided, and
bear my share of the burthens, than that one
section should trample under foot the other,
and make men vassals. I hope, when wise
■els prevail, and this Abolition sentimeut
gets rooted out of our people, that there may
construction of our Government, upon
firm basis than ever; but I have very
little hopes ever to see this reunion. All I
can say is, if it should never be reunited, may
you become a prosperous and happy people,
and a powerful nation, which I have not the
least doubt you will.
I should be pleased to hear from you, ou re
ceipt of this, and write to me what the feelings
of the people of Georgia are, and whether you
think they would be in favor of a re-construc
tion of the Government, provided there should
be guarantees offered sufficient to give the
South her rights. I write this merely to ascer
tain this fact, as there is quite a difference of
opinion in relation to this matter. My brother
is at sea, and his health is good. We are expect
ing him home this month. I think one of us
will come out to your State this Summer; and
I am rather of the opinion that I may come out
and settle, if this National trouble gets all set
tled down, for I think the South will be the
best part of the country; and I am of the
opinion that there will be a great emigration
there. Give my best respects to Mr. Lemuel
Grant
We are having one of the old-fashioned Win
ters here—about 4$ feet of snow on a level. I
.should be pleased to see jou here this Summer,
if I do not come to Georgia. We are all anx
ious to hear from you in relation to matters in
the State of Georgia, and I hope you will write
to me early, if you can, without any inconven
ience. Yours truly, WEBSTER TREAT.
Hannibal Hamlin.
This individual waN^some years ago. elected
an honorary member of the New England His
toric Geological Society, and, agreeable to its
requirements, made the following statement of
his genealogy:
Hampton, Me., Aug. 23, 1855.
Dear Sir : Agreeable to the requirements of
the New England HistoricGenealogical Society,
of which I have been elected an honorary
member, I submit the following statement :
My name is Hannibal Hamlin—born in Par
is. county of Oxtord, Stale of Maine, August
27th, 18011. Cyrus Hamlin was my father. He
died in Paris. January,or February, 1828,aged
about 58. He was a surgeon and physician.—
He was Clerk of the Courts of Oxford county
for several years, and subsequently High Sher
iff of the same county. I think he had more
than twenty brothers and sisters. Four of
the brothers were named Asia, Africa, Eu
rope and America. Africa was a member of
the Cincinnati 8ociety.
My mother died about forty years since, aged
about seventy. Her name was Anna Liver
more, daughter of Deacon Elijah Livermore, of
the town of Livermore, in Oxford county. They
were married about the year 1798. (If desira
ble, 1 can obtain the exact dates of their birth,
marriage and decease.)
I prepared myselt for a collegiate education.
The death of my father required my services at
home, and I devoted myself to labor on the
homestead until I was near twenty-one years
old. I then went into a printing office, having
purchased an interest therein, where I remain
ed something more than a year, working as a
compositor. 1 then commenced the study of
the law—was admitted to the Bar January,
1833—commenced Dractice at Hampden, April,
d in the practice up to 1848.
I was a member of the House of Represen
tatives, in Maine, for the years 1836, '37, '38,
’39 and ’40. Was Speaker of the House in
1837, '39 and *40. Was also a member in 1847.
Was a candidate for Congress in 1840, and was
defeated by about 260 majority in a poll of
about 16,000 votes. Was elected in 1842, and
re-elected in 1844. Was elected to the Senate
n 1848 to supply the vacancy for four years,
occasioned by the death of John Fairfield.—
Was reelected in 1860 for the term of six years.

.Mighty .Mean Looking.
A correspondent of the Cincinnati Enquirer,

graphically describes Old Abe :
“His Excellency, the President of what there
is left of the United Slates, arrived duly on
time, by his special train from Springfield, at
five o’clock, P. M. He rode down Washington
street in an open carriage, accompanied by
Governor Morton who looked every inch a king
beside him, and Governor Morton, in my judg
ment, though I'm a poor judge of human Black
Republican nature, is a mighty mean looking
man. There was not a cheer went up from the
citizens thronging the side walks while His Ex
cellency progressed from the West to the East,
going towards his supper at the Bates House.”
Funny.
The Montgomery correspondent of the
Charleston “Courier," in a recent letter, says:
“Quite an amusing incident occurred at the
Theatre last evening. Mrs. Mitchell was per
forming the Wept-oT-the- Wisbtou Wish, in one
of the scenes of which it is necessary to intro
duces young child. This was accordingly done,
and said infantile production regaled the au
dience with a series of operatic screams, in con
sequence of which the curtain was dropped
and the audience left in doubt as to whetner
it was the child or the actors who failed in their
parts. To settle their minds upon this point,
and to apologise for the interruption, one of
the Indians, clothed with all the toggery of the
savage, but who was evidently a very modest
novice of the stage, came in front of the green
drop, and innocently delivered himself of the
following speech :
“ Ladies and Gentlemen : We must ask your
indulgence for a few moments, as the child in
the last Act disturbed the play, aud we have
to delay the •<
other child."
from tha N. T. Cool and Shipping List
A Thought on Cotton Spinning.
Some of the ablest writers iu the Boutberu
journals, we observe, are earnestly urging up
on the Cotton growers ibe wisdom end expo
diency of becoming spinners, end not simply
produoers, of ltie raw material. Georgia.
North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland, we
are told, are capable of becoming the Cotton
■pinners of the world, and the day may come
when a bale of “lint” Colton offered for ex
port to a foreign or coastwise port will be as
great a curiosity as is now a bale of Cotton in
the seed. And elaborate calculations are an*
tertd into, to demoostra e that, if the Atm-ri
can cotton crop were shipped in the shape of
yarn or thread, it would make a saving to our
ualional wealth, in the items of waste aud
transportation alone, of twenty five per cent,
on the total crop, or say $60,000,000—a suru
sufficient to construct a Pacific Rai road, and
cut a ship caaal across Florida ; also, that the
Atlantic Southern Stales would receive an ad
dition to their wealth, through the demand
for coal and iron, and water power, aad con
sequent activity in the inland railway interest.
We find these views elaborated aud enforc
ed with point, in a communication to the
Washington Constitution, by a Southern gen
tleman who is said to be especially qualifiod
to write upon them. As the subject is oue
which has an ultimate interest for a wide cir
cle of readers, it may bo worth while to brief-
'y embody the more important of his sugges
tions fn this article.
Few people are aware of the immense loss
of Southern wealth, incident to the transpor
tation of the cotton crop to Europe iu the
preseut “ raw” or “ lint” form. It is sent
forward as a colon el product to England,
where it is spun into yarn (or thread,) and
then re exported from the continent of Europe
to India, China and South America in immense
quantises and with a corresponding enhance
ment in value. It is this lint which makes
valuable the coal and irou of Great Britain.—
The great industry of England is the cotton-
spinning industry, and iu this branch of man
ufacturing the United States are yet destined
to supplant all rivals.
The idea of shipping the American cotton
crop in the form of “yarn, or thread,” the
writer tells us, is now receiving the earnest
attention of practical men in England, Geima
ny and America. The difference between the
American cotton crop in the "lint,” and in
the "thread,” is the difference between a
crop of "low ordinary” and "strictly good
middling,” or 2} to 3£ cents per pound This
fact alone, it is urged, should arrest the atten
tion of all who are engaged, directly or indi
rectly, in the irade, and secure for the "spiu
ning project” tho consideration to which its
importance eminently entitles it.
The correspondent of the Constitution, in
the same connection, alludeB to the fact that
the Surat, or Indian coitons are valueless, ex
cept when used with ihe American staple. By
yielding the monopoly of spinning up our crop
to Englaod, he argues, we have enabled her
gradually to introduce the Surat cotton into
the continental markets, until now we find
that over seven hundred thousand bales of Su-
rats are placed annually in Europe—every
bale of "India Surat” cotton whieh England
succeeds in forcing into consumption through
the aid of our good staple cottons, and by
having the exclusive monopoly of " spinning”
for Ihe world, displace a bale of our lower, or
" inferior” grades. The consequence is now
manifest at Liverpool. The lower grades of
American cottons are not asked for, the Eng
lish spinners having worked in the Indian
cottou. aud neatly six hundred thousand bales
are in Europe without buyers, and deprecia
ting daily in value. The question is then ask
ed, If these 600,000 bales bad been spun into
thread in America, would they not have been
preferred by the German, Swiss or ’French
weaver to the “ Sural” thread, they Are forc
ed to take from England ? In any event, we
are inclined to agree with the writer that the
ideas here thrown out deserve to be carefully
studied to the end, that we may become the
spinner of our own cotton crop, letting the
world buy the “ thread” from us.

ened by M. Legrand, avoue for Mrs. Elixabeth
Patterson, presenting the following conclu
sions : —
That it may please the Tribunal to declare
the marriage contracted on the 24th of Decem
ber, 1803, between the late Prince Jerome and
Elizabeth Patterson valid. And also to lake
judicial cognizance (donner acte) that M. Bona
parte, while demanding that the marriage of
the 24l h of December, 1803, may be declared
valid, has never had any intention to contest,
and does not now contest, the civil aud politi
cal effects of the union contracted in 1807 by
his father with tho Princess Catherine of
Wurtemburg.” M. Berryer followed on the
same side in an uninterrupted speech of four
hours and a half, when the Court rose for n
recess. On resuming, M. Allon opened the
case for Prinoe Napoleon, and was bold enough
to say that the eloquent advocate opposed to
him "had very little hopes of winuing his
case." He rests his osse entirely upon the law
of France at the time, of the ‘provisions of
which, he saye. Mis* Patterson was well aware,
when she said, "If I can be his wife but for au
hour 1 will run the risk;” and that knowing
the legal objections to the marriage, she had
not contracted it in good faith. On the con
clusion of his speech the Court adjourned for
e week. The Peris papers are absolutely silent
on the subject—even the foot of the trial ia not
mentioned in their news colons.
Gkoroik’s New Bill or Rights.—The Bill
of rights presented to the Georgia Conference
contains several noticeable iuiprovemente on
those embodied in the United States Constitu
lion. Prominent among these is the substitu
tion of tue word "citisen” for "pereon,” as,
for example, " No citizen shall be deprived of
life, liberty or property except by due proceae
of law.” The same term ie iu variably made
use of when any right or privilege is spoken
of; but ibe discarded word " person” is intro
duced whenever offenses against the laws cone
to be treated of.—New Orleans Bulletin.
