LaGrange aud West Point Railroad.— The LaGrange Reporter contains the fol lowing information in reference to the pro gress of this road: “From a recent conversation with one of the heaviest contractors and largest stock holders connected with the Company, we learn that the superstructure is ready for the whole route between tnis place and Newnan. About three fourths of the gra ding is also finished, and several heavy sec tions will be completed inja few weeks. The Passenger Train now runs out to Chandler’s about six miles on this side of Newnan, and by the first of June, it will reach the twelve mile station. The progress of the enter prise was greatly hindered by the severe cold of the late Winter; now that the de lightful season of Spring ljas set in, we may hope that the work will go bravely on to eonsmnatiom With these prospects, we aafe predict its completion between the first of November and the 1st of December en tiling.’' What 1 *Licks /”■—The New Orleans Cou- Jrer has been suddenly seized with a fit of the “high strkes.” An article in defence of Kossuth and his cause, written throughout in the true “highfalutin” style, appears in that paper of Saturday, which concludes with the following touch of the ecstaties: We say to Kossuth then, as the Sybil said to the Roman chief, “cut boldly ” Speak as a freeman pleading for his country should apeak!

Cotton has been some what injured by this cold snap, and we have heard of farmer's who speak of ploughing up, and planting again. Attempt to Assassinate. We learn that a most^cowardly and base attempt was made to assassinate Alexander E. Lawson of this county at about 2 o’clock on Sunday morning. It appears that be heard some noise in his yard about that hour, arose and went out to enquire the cause, seeing two persons he hailed them, and receiving no answer, he raised his stick to strike at them, when he was fired upon, with pistols, two balls entering his chest and a third glancing off. We are glad to learif that the wounds are not considered mortal. Mr. Lawson is an estimable gentleman and a wortuy citizen and we hope that the per petrators of this outrage may be ferreted out and brought to justice. Death of Judge Meriwether. It is with painful regret, we announce the decease of Judge Meriwether. He died at his residence on Saturday evening last, of Typhoid Pneumonia, having been confined by that disease about a week. Judge Meriwether has filled a prominent place in the public eye, for many years. He has represented the people both in the State and National councils, in the State legislature and in Congress. He presided with great ability for several years as the Judge of the Ocmulgee District, and more recently he filled the place of Speaker of the House of Representatives of our State. To all of these elevated and responsible posi tions, Judge Meriwether brought untiring industry and distinguished ability, and in all of them he did his country good service. In the public concerns of Georgia, we hard ly know the man whose loss would be more felt than will be that of the distinguished man who has been so unexpectedly and so suddenly cut down by the fell destroyer— and in> professional and social life, he has left a very large circle who will sincerely mourn his loss. But if to these and to his State the death of Judoe Meriwether is to be deplored, how shall we speak of the loss to his desolated family, alas, alas,—we can not speak of this. “What shadows we are, and what shad- we pursue.”—Milledgeville Recorder. 20th A3T A fire occurred in Chambers coun ty Ala., on the 11th inst., which entirely destroyed the dwelling house and furniture of J udge James M.

SS3T A meeting of the Whigs of New York was held at the Broadway House on Friday"night 16th to hear addresses Irom the Hon. James C. Jones, ot Tennessee, and the Hon. Presley Ewing, of Kentucky. The Herald says the politicians mustered in strong force, and were divided into two parties, very, nearv balanced—Fillmore and Scott men—but there were apparently very few of the Websterites present. After the speeches, a set of resolutions werr offered in favoriof Mr. Fillmore, which caused a per fect uproar, and the meeting, according to the Herald’s account, broke up in confu sion.

By the late accounts, we learn that an indignation meeting was held in Sacra mento in opposition to the bill recently passed in the House, relating to contracts of labor with Chinese emigrants. The bill was denounced as intended to introduce a system of quasi slavery, and as an outrage upon the rights of the American laborer. The bill passed the house, after violent op position, by a vote of thirty yeas to twenty nays. It is thought that the bill will net pass the Senate, or, if does, that the Gov ernor will veto it.

Editorial Correspondence of the Georgian• Milledgeville, April 23, 185'2. The Constitutional Union Convention as sembled in the Representative Chamber yesterday morning, at 11 o’clock. Mr. Sam’l. Faris, of Walker, was called to the Chair, and Messrs. P. W. Alexander of Savannah, Arthur Hood and Wm. Plane, of this place, appointed Secretaries. On motion of Judge Cone, a committee of one from each Congressional District was appointed to suggest permanent officers of the Convention. That committee retired, and after a short absence, reported the names of the following gentlemen : Presi dent, Hon. A. H. Chappel; Vice Presidents, Jas. Thomas, of Hancock, and Sam’l Faris, of Walker, with Secretaries as above named. This report was adopted and confirmed by the Convention. After the usual formali- pression of opinion on the Baltimore sensa hour, in which be took occasion to shew ; tlon> moved a resolution that it was the the Whig and Democratic parties «p, in ! true meanio or and intent of the 2d resolu- what he called their true colors—that they j lion of tbe committee that no U were a cheat and a humbug with which the people had long been deluded, and he hop ed they would be blotted from the face of the earth. The Democratic party, he said, had no national principles, nor never had It was true that Georgia Democracy were for Free trade, and by their corpera- tion had come as near it as the Tariff of’46, but he could not see how gentlemen, pro fessing to be good Free trade Democrats, could be so anxious to get into Baltimoie, to vote for James Buchanan, who voted for and sustained the black tariff of ’42, which he considered the most damnable measure that ever disgraced the Government, and which that gentleman had never repented of. He considered the Bank, Tariff, Internal Improvements aud every question which for merly divided the old parties, had been set tled by the concurrence of the Whig party with the Democratic adjustment of them for the past six or ten years. Why then should old Democrats be anxious to go to Baltimore, to sustain truths which nobody doubted, and defend measures which no body attacked. But he had been informed that the ‘Cher okee boys’ would leave us if we did not go to Baltimore ; if this were the only reason for sending delegates to Baltimore, he would say to the Cherokee boys, go. He was nat willing that the Union party should be dependant upon any such conditions. This called out Judge Jackson of Walton, who hoped that the substitute offered by the gentleman would not pass but that the Convention would adopt the resolutions of the committee. There were a portion of the Union parly who believed that the no Union men could go to either of the National-Conven tions, without violating their faith to the Union party. Mr. Bartow moved to lay this on the table, and on a vote, there was a tie, and the President gave his vote in fa vor of the motion. The Convention adjourned sine die at 3 o’clock p. m. having sat this day about six hours, all of which were devoted to the warm and interesting debate of which 1 have spoken above. After the adjourn ment of the Convention, a call was made for all those in favor of sending delegates to the Baltimore convention to meet at the Representative Chamber at 5 o’clock this evening. I shall not attend, as I shall leave at an earlier hour by the evening cars, I understand that they were fully determin ed to put up a delegation. What folly ; it was a piece of presumption when the Union party was thought to have backed the movement, and dared to threaten the in dignation of their 18,000 majority in the State, if they were not admitted at Balti more, but now how ridiculous is it, for a faction, a third of a bare majority to make the same threats. They have set their standard of excellence and preference, why not now wait and see who will come up to it; If the Baltimore convention can be in duced by threats to square itself to the Un ion requisitions, the party can hold out their first resolution, with more prospect of success, than they could have by sending a minority to seek terms which it is perfectly certain the majority will never submit to ; i 1 understand that Gov.

About this time a debate sprung up in relation to the representation of absent counties whose delegates had authorised other delegations to act for them. It was pretty clear that this grant of authority was coveted, in as much as it was doubtful at that time, wheth er the Baltimoreans, or the Stand-aloof- men, had a majority ; but the debate soon fagged out and the Convention overruled the proposition. A resolution was reported by Mr. Jenkins, and adopted, appointing a committee of three from each Congression al District, to prepare and report business for the Convention. Mr. Jenkins, chairman of the committe, moved an adjournment of the Convention to give the committee time to report. Mr. Thomas, of Elbert, whoseem- ed bent on making a speech on the Balti more sensation, was opposed to tbe adjourn ment, and fought it with a variety of mo tions, all of which were ruled out of order, aud that gentlemen became somewhat in censed at the summary deprivation of his liberty of speech, and uttered many hard things about these senseless rules of order which he never could understand, and which he looked upon as a juggling machinery by which tbe honest expression of opinion was Chevalier Hulseraan it is thought is suppressed.

The Review assails the friends of Cass, as “mules, asses, and canucks,” and the friends of But* ler, and even tbe old General himself, as “imbeciles and nincompoops.” Marcy is figuratively described as “a splavined, wind blown, strained, ring-boned hack, with a huge grayspot still soar on his flank.” Douglass seems to be the god of “Young America’s” idolatry, and his chief virtue is that “he never had a grandfather.” “In short,” says the reviewer, “we do not even know that he was ever bora. He is proba bly the son of a gun, or of an axe, or of a plane. He was, perhaps, wetnursed on a chisel.” “YoungAmerica” must be hard pushed for a candidate, when it is compell ed to adopt one whose chief claim to con sideration is the fact that his origin is un known. A report is being circulated hero, that Mr. Webster and Mr. Crampton, the Brit ish Minister at Washington, are about to agree upon a treaty unfavorable to Nicara gua and American interests. I am not an advocate for Mr. Webster’s nomination to the Presidency, but I am unwilling to back, him, as a maker of treaties, against any English diplomatist.

The prices of tickets will be $3, $2 and $1, and every effort will be made to prevent their being bought up by specula tors.

Every day reveals some new fraud upon persons going to California. One George E.

I do not see why people will persist in being thus taken in, while the U. S. Mail steam ship Co., has vessels starting all the time. I should think that ordinary sagacity would enable any man to see that vessels com manded bv officers of the U. S. Navy, and which carry the U. S. Mails, are the safest to do business with, and are most likely, to say the least, to make the quietest trips.— This Company lands passengers at Aspin- wall, whence there is a Railroad nearly across the Isthmus ; and there is never any detention on the route. There is always a steamer at Panama ready to take on pas sengers that have through tickets. The tine spring weather appears to be making our rogues lively. Yesterday morn ing, a stranger from Chenango county, N. Y., was fleeced out of $50 by a negro named Morris, alias “Butcher Joe.” The game by which tbe “gentleman fromChemn go” lost bis money was the “thimble rig,” which was played in an alley leading out of Barclay st., by “Butcher Joe” and two con federates, one of whom, by betting on tbe “little joker,” himself induced the stranger to take out his pocket-book, which one of the worthy trio grabbed, followed by the countryman shouting “stop thief.” “Butch er Joe” was arrested, but tbe others, who had the money, have not yet been caught. On the evening of the same day, a young lady of elegant appearance and easy man ners, rejo eingin tbe romantic soubriquet ot “Cock of the Walk,” was arrested for steal ing a gold ring and $16 from a greenhorn. While being politely escorted to the poliee- station, she stabbed tbe policeman in the left arm, inflicting a severe wound. I have just been in a store on Broadway, to see a safe that was broken open last uight'bw&i burglar. The maker of this safe- does not care, 1 suppose, to have his name recorded, so 1 withhold it. Fortunately, for the merchant, the- safe only co ntained his books and papers, which the considerate thief left uutom-Ued, calling attention to his gentlemanly iurUa ranee, in a brief but point ed note which he left on a desk. Another safe iu the store contained the “circulat ing medium” of the establishment; but as that was one of Heriug’s chilled iron sala manders, the instruments of the burglar had no eflect on it, although attempts had evidently been made to drill it in several places. An effort bad also been made to pick the lock and to burst it open with gun powder ; but it was no go. The miniatnre edition of the World’s Fair, to be held in Reservoir Place, in this city, will, I think, be a failure. Tbe Crys tal Palace in which it is designed to be held, and which was to have been opened on the Fourth of July next, has not yet been begun. Subscriptions come in slow ly. - The cost is estimated at $200,000, while the cash in hand does not reach one- sixth of that amount. By the way, I see that the French Government has proposed to purchase the English Crystal Palance. If the offer is accepted, the structure will be removed to the Champ de Mars, and will probably become the scene of another World’s Fair in 1854. Yours truly, PULASKI.
