THE CENTRAL G E O RGIA N. THE .CENTRAL GEORGIAN SAOT’JL B. CBAFTOJi, COUNTY PRINTER. TERMS—For the paper in advance $1 50 • If not paid in advance, $2 00 SMDERSYILLE, GEORGIA- TUESDAY FEB. IT, 1852. \From the New York Herald.'] Washington, Feb. 1 1842. The Presidedtial Campaign—The Grow ing Interest ia the Contest—The Present Position of Both Parties—The Candi dates^ &c. The speculations in Saturday’s Herald, upon the “Presidential Question,” have caus ed quite a fluttering here among the various aspirants and their friends. From the developments which have come to light during the past fortnight, the fol lowing deductions may be made in relation to the prospects of the whigs:— 1. That Mr. Webster is entirely out of the question, as hia friends now admit, un less the d—1 can be kicked up generally, be tween this time and next fall, and a Union party marshalled under cover of the dust, for the Secretary’s special benfit. Proba bilities of this, small. 2. That Mr. Fillmore has not tire most remote intention of running on his own hook. He will eventually surrender to W. H. Seward, for the benefit of Gen. Scott; and all he now hopes to do, is to sell out the government influence as high as possi ble to Seward & Co. 3. That Gen. Scott does expect to be nom inated. Mr. Fillmore expects he will be; Mr. Webster, ditto, Mr. Seward, ditto; Messrs. Jones, of Tenn., Stephens and Toombs, of Ga., Stanley, of North Carolina, ditto. (The four la^t named have agreed to support Scott, it is understood, although he was the accepted candidate of the North ern abolitionists more than a year ago.) The whig party here, generally, expect he will be; as dees likewise your humble ser vant. * 4. Notwithstanding their total route in the late State elections, the knowing ones among the whigs are confidently expecting to carry the next Presidency with Gen. Scott. They are already working a shrewd game. Depending upon the conscience of the dem ocrats for success, and the existing conten tion among democratic aspirants, they have already gone seriously to work to use them up. Mr. Seward is at present, pulling the wires at the North, to concilate the free soil influence. He rolls himself all over in the Kossuth excitement, while General Scoot is very carefully kept out of it—not appear ing at the Congressional Banquet, not call ing upon Kossuth, nor in any wise commit ting himself either for or against his doc trines of intervention. Seward takes care of all this, and acts as committee man No. 1 at the North. Ex-Gov. Jones, of Tennessee, now in this city, electioneering to be the whig candidate for the Vice Presidency, has taken upon himself to act as Gen. Scott committee man No. 2, for the South. The Governor said, in a public conversation with Senator Douglas, at the National Hotel, the other evening, that-he had been to see Gen Scott, and inquired his views on the com promise, stating distinctly, that he (Gen. S.) could not carry Tennessee without he endor sed it. Gen. Scott replied, that he should sustain the compromise and the Union.— However, he will probably write no letters endorsing the compromise—that is, if Sew ard can prevent it. Nor do Messrs. Jones, Stephens & Co. wish him to. 1 have said that Governor Jones was ex pecting the whig nomination for the Vice Presidency. He has already succeeded in procuring a nomination from the whigs in the Maine Legislature—a very small en dorsement, to be sure, if they acted inde pendently of the free soilers—but neverthe less, their number is large enough to get up a caucus. Governor Jones may therefore be said to have been first in nomination in the East. He will, doubtles, have a strong opponent in Abbot Lawrence, with the Bos ton Atlas for his organ. This paper, you will recollect, was the first in New England to come out for General Scott more than a year ago. Lawrence has the most money and Jones the most brains; but as the whi The Division of the Sons of Tern perance of this place will have a celebra tion on Saturday evening next, at which there will be several addresses. List of Acts.—W«e have been compel led to omit the publication of most of the local Acts, .giving only those referring to counties and persons where our paper most ly circulates. Fire on the Central Railroad.—The Savannah Republican has the following particulars of a fire which occurred at No. 2> Central Railroad, on Thursday last: “The down wav-freight train, about 1 o’clock, P. M., attempted to pass through the fire which was burning in the woods on both sides of the road; and, in doing so, all the open cotton cars, six in number, with 274 bales of cotton, took fire and were burned. The engine, with seven box cars, (also filled with cotton)passedsafely through the fire. In one of the cars destroyed, there were ten fine hounds, the property of James Holzendorff, Esq., of Camden county, which could not be got out, and were burn- Census.—The Inferior Court of this county have appointed Judge Silas Floyd j e( j U p ? as a j s0 a small lot of hides. “The cotton was taken on at Gordon, and between that place and Tenneille, and the owners can thus readily ascertain who are and Maj. John Curry, to take the census of this couuty, as required by an Act of the lastLegislature. Candy.—If any of our confectioners or others, wish to purchase a fine article of Candy, we refer them to J. G. Newcombe, of Savannah, who manufactures it in a su perior style. We acknowledge the receipt of a nice parcel. See advertisement in an other calumn. The Church.—We have thought for seveial weeks pa .t that we would call the attention of the people of this vicinity to the condition of the Church and burial grounds adjacent. -It is really a melancholy spectacle to look at either gof them; as a matter of ordinary devotion, or common respect for the dead, it is the imperative duty of all to take steps for the repairing and fitting up of these places. We hesi tate not in saying that there is not a village in the State whose place of public worship receives less attention than the one at this place. This is a lamentable fact, and speaks badly for the taste of our villagers and church-goers, who witness, Sabbath after Sabbath, its miserable dilapidated, cobweb situation, and never offer a hand towards giving it a more decent appearance. We have heard of a game, somewhere, called the “Devil take the hindmost;” if this church has not been into a game of that sort, and come out last, it deceives its looks mightily—but levity aside.There is a real substantial necessity for something to be done in the preirises. If the church can not be suitably fitted up and the burial grounder-larged, (forit is now too small) Gen. Warthen proffers to give any location on his lands suitable for it. We throw these suggestions out with the hope that they may be favorably considered and acted up on by our people. the sufferers. The loss, we believe, falls upon the Road, as insurance is included with the freight. $10,000 will probably cover the loss—say $8,000 for the cotton, and $2,000 for cars and. injury to the road.— Some ten to fifteen yards of the superstruc- were destroyed, but it will be repaired du ring the night, and no interruption to trav el or freight need be apprehended. The fire approached so near Mr. Cassidy’s house that it took fire, and was with difficulty sav ed.” Executor’s Sale—The Columbus Times publishes the executor’s sale of the effects of the Constitutional Union party, and among other items enumerated, is a few planks suitable for making a new platform. We should like to know who got hold of the valuables of the Southern Rights party? It went oft’, it is true, without a will, but it did leave something more than a name that was subject to administration. We have our eye on a few of the ‘Alberti tracts,’ some select specimens of letter writing in the shape of ‘co-operation’ documents, which have never been even appraised, ex cept Che valuation set upon them at our Oc tober elections. If the Democratic party iias made itself executor in its own wrong, in this matter, we should like to know it. France.—It will be seen in the accounts brought by the Pacific, a report that Louis Napoleon had threatened to invade'Eng- land. This is doubtless an innocent hum bug. He may be fool enough to talk it in his drunken pride, but he will have sense enough to keep him out of it; if he does not it will be a small matter for John Bull to give him a trouncing, which we should’nt be sorry to see. He deserves the lash about as much as any of the rulers of the present day. Important Invention—The Washing ton Telegraph states that Mr. De Bibery h$s invented one of the most important life saving and swimming apparatuses it has eveUseen. Application has been made by Mr. DeB. fora patent. It is a kind of frock, or doublet, of ordinary dress material made double, interlaid with small metalic boxes, inflated. This doublet mny <be worn as an overall on shipboard, and it is. im possible for the wearer to sink below the shoulders, and Mr. De B. asserts that a person may remain in the water any length of time, and the water has no effect what ever on the buoyancy of the dress. Congressional.—On the 9th inst., the House by a vote of 108 to 60 refused to re ceive the following resolution in relation to the tariff, offered by Mr. Welch : Resolved, That the Committee of Ways and Means are instructed to report a bill modifying and altering the tariff of 1846, substituting, wherever practicable, specific for ad valorem duties, with such rates of duties as will yield a sufficient revenue, and with such discriminations in favor ofiron and other articles of domestic manufacture and production as will afford adequate pro tection to the labor of our own citizens a gainst foreign competition. jJST It is thought that nearly all of the Delegates from the State of New York to the Baltimore Convention, will go for Mar- cy as the Democratic nominee. If the Governor should get the nomination, his friends had belter see to it, that he supplies himself with good “trousers,” that old pair is enough to beat him, even as against Late from Havana.—The Diario de la Marina received at New Orleans by the Philadelphia has advices from Porto Rico to the 24th ult. The island generally was in a prosperous condition. On the 2d ult. a fire occurred in Mendez-Vigo St. Maya- guez, which destroyed thirty-two houses.— The loss was estimated at $2001000. A subscription was to be taken up for the re lief of the sufferers. In Porta Rico the coffee market was not active. The article was selling at $8 a $9 per quintal. The sugar ciop will be a fair average. News from Venezuela states that on the 28th of November there was an earthquake at Caracas, but fortunately very little dam age was done. The Body of Caft. McNelty Found.— The Savannah News says that the steamer Welaka, which arrived in that city on Tues day last, from Palatka, had on board the body of Capt. McNelty, late of the unfor tunate steamer Magnolia. The body of Capt, McNelty was found by Mr. Dunham, on the beach on St. Simon’s Island, about three miles from where the explosion took place. His watch and purse were found on his person, and have been delivered to his family. The bodies of two or three of the colored persons killed by the explosion, were also found, and were buried on the Is land. The Raleigh (N. C.) Register has a despatch dated at Washington 6th inst., which states that a defalcation had taken place in the Custom House at San Francisco, of one million of dollars, and that it is re ported that the Hon. T. B. King is to be re moved. The despatch also mentions that Col. Doniphan had been appointed Govern or of Utah, and that the Chief Judge and Secretary are to go back with Doniphan, and that troops are to be asked in order to emove the Territorial seat of Government from Salt Lake City. We would mention, privately, that if therei*^eott s S0U P is anv part of the world that has not been supplied with any of the above tracts, we will shoulder the responsibility of distribut ing a few that were not (like our excellent generally think more of the former than of I commander,) used up in the late campaign the latter, and as Mr. Seward probably fancies that he himself possesses brains e- nouglfcto answer all the practical purposes of the next administration, providing it should be whig, I am rather inclined to pre dict that Abbot will come out “first best” and be the whig candidate for Vice Presi dent. French Speculation* in American Coin.—The Philadelphia Inquirer has been assured by a gentleman who recently re turned from Europe, that large quantities of American coin are imported into France from the United States; and that by pecu liar process; a considerable portion of gold is extracted, while the value of the silver is not impaired. Indeed, it is said that quite an extensive business is carried on in this way. The process is a peculiar one, and known only to a few scientific men in France. jggT Chevalier Hulsemann sailed from N. Orleans for Mobile, on the 10th inst. The Germans and foreigners of that city, gave him a mock sernade, on the night previous to his departure, which aroused much in dignation among the more orderly inhabi tants. No American citizen of New Or leans took partin the serenade. Small Pox.—Dr. Wm. Fields, of Wil mington, Delaware, ( says in a letter to the “Blue Hen's Chicken,"—a newspaper so called—that one tablespoonful of good brewer’s yeast, mixed with two table spoon fuls of cold water, and given from three to four tunes a day to an adult, and in less | fi ce quantities to children, is a certain cure, for the small pox. LITERARY NOTICES.. Herald of the Union.—This is the name of a monthly publication recently com menced in New York City by C. Edwards Lester. It is devoted to the” furtherance and maintainance of the Compromise of 1850, is a large and handsome sheet well edited, and culls largely from the literary and political'world.

The quotations of the Liverpool cotton market on the ’28th, the day of the sailing of the steamer, were for New Orleans Fair, five and a quarter (5 l-4d.) ; for Middling, four and seven eighths (4 7-8d.) ; for Upland, Fair, five (5d.) ; and for Middling, four and three-fourths (4 3-4d.) The sales of the four days amounted to 45,000 bales—of which speculators took 8,000, and expor ters 5,000 bales—the demand good. Cqn s °l s closed at 96 1-4. Latest by Telegraph from London.—Ac counts received from London on the morn ing of the sailing of the steamer (the 28th) report that rumors of a threatened inva sion of England, by the French, were quite prevalent. The government had ordered 30,000 stand of arms from Birmingham, and 25,000 to be sent to London. The Daily News says that orders had been dis patched by the Admiralty recalling the three principal ships-of-war stationed on the coast of England. The steamer City of Glasgow had re turned to England, having been disabled in a storm. From France.—The Monileur publish es the name of the persons composing the new Senate. Mr Bareefie.is Vice President to act as President, in the absence of the Prince President. Arrests continue to be made, and transportations are still the or der of the day. From California. The steamer Daniel Webster arrived to day with San Francisco dates to the 18th Jan. The market remained unchanged, with a moderate business doing. More ex tensive discoveries of gold yielding quartz had been made. The yield was very mild—Flowers in bloom. Good order pre vailed throughout the country. The Legislature was m session at Sacra mento. Gov. Bigler, in his inaugural, says the Gold Mines should be as free as air. The Indian difficulties were all settled. Southern California was very prosperous, the mines yielding extensively.—-Savannah Morning News. Intelligence from California. Our New Orleans exchanges contain late accounts from California, brought by the steamer. We give some items. As to the politi cal aspects of the country, the following from the San Francisco Picayune, may suf- The ladies are determined to be no lon ger shut out from the secrets of Odd Fel lowship. By virtue of the authority given by the Grand Lodge of the United States the* Atlantic Lodge of Philadelphia recent ly performed the ceremony of initiation for the wires of certain members of the order. A Philadelphia correspondent of the New Y'ork Herald writes as follows : “The fortunate ones are greatly envied by their fair friends; and those formerly most oppose to secret societies are determ ined to marry odd fellows, for the purpose of satisfying their intense curiosity with re gard to the mysteries of the order. Their dread of riding the goat, which according to common rumor in one of the initiatory rites, has been calmed by the assurance that the animal is to have a side saddle, on. which a ladv is to mouut.” . “Massa says you must sartin pay de bill to-day,” said a negro to a New Orleans shop-keeper. “Why, he isn’t afraid I’m going to run away, is he ?” was the reply. “Not zackly dat; but look heea,” said the darkey, slyly andj mysteriously, “he’s gwoin to run away lieself, and darfor wants fcp make a big raise !” The maiden wept; and I said, “why weepstthou maiden.” She answered not, neither did she speak, but sobbed exceed ingly, and again I asked why weepest thou? she said, “what’s that to you? mind vour own business !” if application be made immediately The~uew editor of the Journal & Messenger, Mr. Nesbit, makes a very grace ful entrance upon bis duties, and intimates his determination to adhere to the organiza tion of the Union party ; maintaining that its necessity is as urgent as ever. He dis owns friend Chapman’s bantling, which, from present appearances, will be left on the hands of the Athens Banner and Cass- ville Standard. The Union party of this county have a meeting called fur the first Tuesday in next month, and wm should judge from what we can gather of their movements, that they will bounce the Alabama resolutions. The Milledgeville caucus did not give satisfac tion to many of the leading Union men of this county, and we suppose that the action of the meeting in March, will give utter ance to this feeling ; they seem to think that there is a cat in that meal tub. AST The New York Tribune says that there is a steam ploughing machine on ex hibit in that city. It is intended to plotigh twelve furrows, and performs the operations of ploughing, sowing and harrowing simul taneously. Apart from its multiform operations, it would be decidedly the thing in these parts just about tyj\v, when corn and horse feed are ko scarce. Pardon of Thrasher.-—information has been received at the State Department, at Washington, of the release and pardon of Thrasher, by the Queen of Spain. N3T Louis Napoleon has discarded Mad ame Bonaparte, his mistress and the moth er of his children, (a woman said to has- been born in Baltimore,) prepartory to jlie. espousal of a Royal Princess, from one of the reigning houses of Europe. It is said she has been banished from France like a fellon—expelled from Paris by force, with the children of the Usurper in her arms, and compelled to seek an asylum in En gland. $3T The stockholders in the Ogeecliee Plank Road, met at the Exchange in Savan nah, on the 13th inst., and elected Directors to manage the concerns of the Company.— The Directors were empowered to petition the City Council for a bonafide subscription of $5000. 33T Local politics run high in the Wes tern country. A candidate for county clerk, in Texas, offered to register marriages for nothing. His opponent, undismayed, prom ised to do the same and throw in a cradle, But who can describe the present condi tion of things in our own State.!- No one can tell who is Governor of California, who is Mayor of San Francisco, where the seat of government is—at San Jose or at Valle jo, what set of claimants has the. best right to upwards of half a dozen contested seats in the next Legislature, what party has the best title to the municipal government of San Francisco, and whether “New York’or the “Chivalry” have the controlling power over the Democracy. With regard to the governorship, there is little doubt but gross fraud has been several Ho for California.—That fine Steam ship the Isabel, Captain Rollins, sailed yes terday for Key West and Havana, with 53 Cabin Passengers, and 332 in the Steerage; in all 385—the greater portion of whom are botmd for the auriferious shores of the Pacific, and have come, principally, from the Upper Districts of Georgia, and the Counties of Burke, Catawba, Rutherford and McDowell, North Carolina. On her last trip the Isabel took out thirty-nine slaves belonging to some of the passengers bound for the gold diggings; on this she bad fifty-five, and the number on her next is, as we have been informed, likely to be further increased; that is to say if the ac counts from the mines continue to be as fa vorable as they haye been recently.— Charleston Courier. . Passage to California.—The N. York Tribune of the 6th inst. says :—“It is idle, worse than idle, to visit this city with the idea of engaging a passage by steam across the Isthmus to California. All the vessels (both Panama and Nicaragua) are full up to April, and those for that month are rap idly fillino- up. Either engage your passage weeks beforehand or take your way around the Horn or over the Sierra—there is no help for it.” The latest news from England state the appointment of Lord Crampton, as Min ister to this Government, and Sir H. L. Bulwer, Minister to Naples. SST Gen. Cass’s, intervention speech in the Senate, was more moderate than was expected, from the tone of his feelings at the Kossuth banquet. President Roberts has received from the Prussian Minister at the Court of St. James, a despatch containing a formal re cognition of the independence of Liberia by his his government. S3T The Rhode Island Senate has abol ished the punishment of death, and sub stituted imprisonment for life. The Hon. Daniel Webster, has con sented to deliver an address at New York city, on the 23d inst., when Washington’s birth day is to be celebrated. Kossuth met with an enthusiastic reception at Cincinnati. About $1000 wa- given him between Columbus, O., and that city, aDd about 500 muskets were tendered him at Hamilton, in the same State. iST A meeting to nominate Mr. Web ster far the Presidency, is to take place at New York, on the 4th prox. themselves, and-such advantage to the city- will of course,, adopt every legal and con stitutional means in their power to resist these unjust pretensions, and they depend for success on the change which is to take place in the constitution of the Supreme Bench, at the next term, by the substitution • of Chief Justice Solomon HeydenfeJdt for Chief Justice Hastings, the gentleman whose decison in the case of Harris vs. Brenhamhas lately excited so much as tonishment. The Democratic party are torn assunder by dissensions, and from the animosity ex hibited on both sides, there is little pros pect of a union among them. One portion who came principally from New York, were anxious to have a preponderance for their section, by the choice of delegates to a State Convention, to be held shortly for the appointment of delegates to the Dem ocratic National Convention, and for the nomination of candidates for electors of President and Vice President, while the other party, who hail from the more South ern States, were influenced by similar mo tives. Both parties are unyielding, and both will send delegates to the State Con- veusion. The intelligence of the suppression of the Indian disturbances in Southern Cali fornia is fully confirmed, but it is feared the peace is only temporary. The Alta, California, of the 18th December, says : “Antonio Garra, the chief who has or ganized the hostile Indians, has been ta ken prisoner, and will, as soon as possible be tried by the civil authorities. He had not reached Los Angeles yet, but there is no doubt that he would be “ried, condemn ed and executed. It is thought that his execution will cause a more "serious out break on the part of the Indians. Bill Marsh cl 1, and the California, Bera, who were on trirl at our latest advices from San Diego, were found guilty and condemned to death. They were executed on the 13th inst. It is said that Gara the chief who has been captured, charges certain Californians with instigating him to the revolt. His ob ject was, as he is reported to have asserted, to destroy those who impose the enormous taxes. Major Hientzelman with eighty soldiers, including the fifty taken down on the Sea Bird, was to leave San Diego early on the morning of the 14th /or Aguas Calientes. ibe Indian commissioner Dr. Wozencraft, would accompany him. to try the effect of peaceful overtures. The geueral impress ion is, however, ^hat there can be no lasting peace unil the the Indians are souudlv bea ten. A letter to the Alta California, dated San Diego, Dec. 13th says : “The arrest of the principal leader, An tonio, also’of Bill Marshall. Juan Bera and an Indian, have shown to us a deep aud well laid plan of geueral massacre, which would have done credit to efficient officer much more to an Indian. They were all to kill the troops at the Gila, and before an express could reach this place—fall upon Lcs Angeles, murder the inhabitants, pro cure their arms, and full upon this place, thereby having possession of the whole of Southern California, from Los Angeles to the boundory line.” Major Andrews, of the U. S. Army, has received orders to leave on the 1st of Jan uary for San Diego, thence to take a small vessel and ten men and proceed up the Gtili of California to the post established at the junction of the Colorada and Gila. It is designed to establish a gairiaon perma nently at that port, to proteet the emi grants ami keep the Yumas in check. The crossing of the Colorado has come to bo dreaded not only on accouut of the desert country in the vicinity, but from the treat ment and hostile dispositiun of the .tribes who inhabit that section of the country. It ocintended that the garrison about to be is ated there, will hereafter effectually pro tect emigrant mu may select the Gila, troute into California. A letter from Rich Bar, North Fork feather River, states that on .the 1st of De cember, a man by the name of David Brown, a native of Amsterdam, was arrest ed here by some of the citizens, upon the charge of having stolen from two of his companions the sum of $1,600. The pris oner was taken to El Dorado to undergo a trial. A judge was appointed by the citi- eommitted with the ballot box in counties—and although it may be difficult, zens aud a jury of twelve men * selected if not possible to prove it legally, it i?not Counsel were appointed to prosecute, and the less a fact, from the investigations re- also counsel to defend the prisoner. The cently made, that Major Reading received a majority of all the votes cast for Governor at the late election. With regard to the Mayoralty, a majority of the Supreme Court, to the astonishmeut of the legal profession and citizens gener ally, have lately decided that Dr. Harris was the Mayor of San Francisco "Since Sep tember last, although Capt. Brenham has been acting in that capacity. The location of the seat of governmentis involved in as deep mystery its ever—the partizans of San Jose and Vallejo sparing no exertions on either side to secure it. On the 30th ult., a meeting, consisting of forty one members elected to the Legislature, was held in San Francisco, for the purpose of consulting together as to the place where the next Legislature should be held ; when the question was decided in favor of Vallejo by a majority of twenty-eight to thirteen. But as the whole meeting did not constitute one half of the members of the Legislature, it is impossible, of course, to consider that vote as setting the question at rest. The claimants to contested seats in the Legislature, must of course, await the ac tion of that body upon their j respective ca ses. - In the city of San Francisco we have now two sets of civic rulers in full blast. The gentlemen elected in December were sworn in on Monday last, 29th inst., by Mayor Harris, and they held their first mteting on the same evening. Ihe gen tleman who have hitherto administered the municipal government with such credit to evidence was heard, which was strong a- gainst'.him. He was then called upon to make his statement, when he confessed that he was guilty. The jury retired and re turned in a few minutes with a verdict that the man Brown should be' hung in a half an hour. Ihrough the intercession of his council, a respite of an hour and a quar ter was granted him to settle his wordly af fairs, after which he was taken to the place of execution and hung. From the time of his sentence till the very moment he was hung, he remained perfectly composed and apparently indiflerent to his fate. Loss of A Charleston Steamer.—The Charleston papers of yesterday inform us that the Steamer Pilot, Capt. JoDes, of that city, left her wharf on Sunday after noon last, with the purpose of proceeding to the wreck of the Br. bark Larch, now a- shore on Stouo Breakers. After passing Ship Bar, Capt. Jones stood to the South ward until about 8 1-2 P. M., when ob serving breakers ahead he ordered the helmsman to starboad the wheel, and stepped into the wheel house to assist him, when, to Lis surprise he-found the boat had been heading S. W. by W. instead of S W. The propeller was immediately reversed, but before it. could act on the boat, she took the bottom in twelve feet of water, on Stono Breakers. She filled with water in a few hours after she struck, and the offi cers and men had to secure themselves in thj wheel-house, &c., the sea making a complete breach over the boat. They were
