My dock ‘will bear inspi id a reasonable probability that the State Constitution when formed, will exclude slavery. In no point of view can tho South bo honciittcd by congressional in tervention. In reply to tho foregoing we will give tho language of Senator Fitch of Indi- , which wo have quoted on two oc casions beforo. Speaking of oxcluding slavery from tho Territories by unfriend ly Territorial legislation or non-action in other words by tho nbsenco of pro tection, by Congressional legislation, if necessary, ho says, “Whether it he Dukota of tho North, or Arizona of tho South, tho bold adventurous frontiers men of tho West, whose moveables in clude no luxuries whose nccessmv lily supplied by tho axo and will go into tho Territory, possess thoni- ives of its Legislature, and exclude Southern property, while the owners of that property aro packing up their household goods and preparing chattels for removal.”. And U6 wo have intimated liofore, the the vast surplus foreign population nt the North, with their interests and pre judices inimical to slavory willjoin these men in their unconstitutional warfare upon our rights. Wo believe that where slave labor is lucrative thoro it will even tually go, nud titoro than this, we be lieve that when enough cotton growing land is settled and cleared, impera tively to demand moro labor than tho Southern States can supply, that labor will lie furnished by Africa: but if by Popular Sovereignty tlio slaveholder with his slaves bo excluded from the Territories, whoro nature tlio interests of the South and of tb< world will be retarded indefinitely.— For although in Arizona or any other Territory iu the South, tho Southern planter may be satisfied that bis slave capital would yield him u remunerative per cent, still if lie bus not that protec tion iu the full enjoyment of the use of bis capital, which tlio Constitution guar antees to him ho will not “do so foolish a thing as to carry his slaves there,” r.-«j¥M*tfii11y invited to mill and us a matter of course lie will not go il.mr nlmvn'McChuig's, and there himself. Then the Territory will bo left entirely to tho control of aboli- t'.onlst", wlm ns Honn ns their numbers vill warrant it will adopt an anti-slavery onstitution and be admitted as a sover- lign State into the Union. They will immediately send fresh recruits to the traitorous host of llluck Republicans now desecrating tho balls of Coitgross.. Their next step will bo to elect ail anti slavery President, if they do not stie- cooif next fall, and if this Union has a protracted existence after that event, it will either be that the Black Repub licans Jarc not carry out their avowed designs, or wo are most grossly and do- plorubly mistaken in tho spirit of the Southern people, Tlio argument of the Washington Constitution may have sotno force when applied to “a Territory where there is a reasonable probability that tho State .’onstitution when formed will exclutlc slavery,” but utterly devoidof itwlien ap plied to a territory where there is a rea sonable probability that tho State con- stituton when formed will tolerate slavery, if tho people who form that Constitu tion are not interfered with in the exer cise of their rights,and if they nro,rocoive that protection which is tho primary object of all froo governments. It is for the reasons given that wo do not fear the W11 mot Proviso so much i wo do tho doctrino of Squatter Sov- ■cignty. They nro both alike uncon stitutional, and if permitted to become tho settled policy of tlio government, equally destructive of our rights; but one is remoto in its operation, the other immediate. Congress cannot, for years to come, enact a law prohibiting slavery in the territories, but a Territorial Lcg- islaturecan and will do so, as soon as it is brought into existence by tlio or ganic act. We repeat wliat wo beforo said, that where slave labor is profitable there it will ultimately go, but if wo liavo to eon tend with Squatter Sovereignty, or tho Wilmot Proviso, tho Union will not survive thostrugglo. In order to save tlio Union, if such a thing bo possible f Congress must not only refrain from unconstitutional legislation to oxoludo slavery from a territory, but must inter vene to protect it whenever it may bo ne cessary. Georgia & Alabama Railroad On yesterday proposals were received by the Hoard of Directors, for the Grad ing, Masonry und Bridging of tlio Go. A Ala., Railroad from Romo to Big Cedar Crook, a distanco of thirteen miles. Tho proposals of Messrs. John I).

In that event, Col. Pennington will have tho rails put down, and tho cars running over tho road within twelve months from now.— Wo liavo no 4 , done a great deal of “blow ing” for tliis rond, because wo knew it not needed. Enough bona fide, paying stock has been subicribed to build it to tho State line, and tlio stock holders aro in earnest about it. Tho enterprise will liopusliod forward with energy and dispatch, nud wo will moot tlio Ala. & Tonn. Rivers R. It., ut Jacksonville bo soon as they reach that point. As an evidence of tho reliability of our com pany, and the confidence it has estab lished abroad, wo mention the strong competition between tho best and larg est contractors in tho South, for tho work on yesterday. Tho Indian whoop, which only a few years waked the silence of Vann’s Valloy, will soon bo echoed back by tho scream the locomotive. Tho Festival of Faster. Lent is drawing to a claso. It com menced on tho 22d of February—which was called Ash-Wednesday—tlio name being taken from tlio custom of tlio when in sorrow for sin, putting on sackcloth und ashes. During Lent, which last* about forty days, thcmiombors of tho Catholic and Episcopal Church es fast and pray, and abstain from all wordly amusements, in ordor to prepare for the solemn services of “Passion Week.” This is tlio week of our Sa viour’s pursion or suffering, previous to bis doatli upon tho cross, which evont was colebratod on yesterday—cnllod Good Friday. To-day is Easter Even— tho lost day of “Passion Weok,” and di vine sorviccs will bo bold in the Episco pal Church this morning at 10 o’clock. To-morrow, tlio third daynftorOood Fri day, is Easter the day Christ roso from tho dead, and this joyful event will be commemorated by the Festival of Edstor, and in tlio place of penitential exercises thoro will bo praise ami rejoicing.- Thoro will bo a sermon and communion at lOj A.

Ifocnnn re presents tlio United States and Tom Sayers, England, and many persons look upn’ii the approaching contest ns one of Nationul importance, in which our National pride is involved. As far us, If it is out of tho question for both of tho “bruisers” to bo whipped, wo do hope that our representative may re ceive such a thorough drubbing that he will be ashamed to show his disfigured tispicccin a civilized community again. If w« must entrust our honor to u brute at ull. wo would pick out a four footed one, of tho species noted fordeal- ing hard blows with its hind heels, nud if ho whips Toni Sayers, ho will prove himself “the better man of the two;” From the Glmrlratou Courier.

A friend sends us the following note companying a copy of tlio Pittsburg (Pa.) hi*put eh : ■ “This isnn abolition paper,und scarcely circulate.*, out of the City of Pittsburg, but in this cose it tells the truth. There are many Redpnths.” Tho paper thus referred to, is tlio Pittsburg Dispatch, of Monday, 20th March, which contains the following ar ticle : ^ “Another John liroion Jlaid-^-The South Forewarned.—It seems to us incredible, ufter the disastrous result of tho Har per’s Ferry invasion, that any man or sot of men, howevor radical in anti-sla very sentiments, should contemplate a like Incursion into the slave States with the intention of inviting an insurrec tion. Such men must know that not only tho municipal authorities are on tho alert, but that the people of the Froo Slates will sternly frown upon any attempt to disturb tho social affairs of any State. Whilo thoy oppose tho ex tension of shivery into now Territory, and look forward to a time when through the constitution) w ished in the States whoro it exists, and with the consent of the people thereof, they will not countenance any attempt to do away with It by violenco.

Population is increasing with unexampled speed.— Lands are rising in value with every year. Tho resources of this magnificent State are rapidly developed. Her cot ton productions show extraordinary progress. She has already produced su gar to the extent of thousands of hogs heads, and tons of thousands of sheep and cattle, and the time is not distant when her produot of wool will surpass the most flourishing of the older States, and th’e amount of her stock that is sent to a Southern market exoeeds that furnished by the great valley of the W est. toil largo to bo suilbcutod by the dust raised by party mountebanks, ami whoso gaze is too steady to be dazzled by tho glare of the false and fatal splendor of tho Despot’s Court. 7b those of you who arc ready to imitate Stephens, this need only be said: “lie pre/tared ; hide your time; erelong you will be called. ,> For l tell you, men of Ashtabula, that the straw;- ling of John Drown was not the death of his cause; and that ere many moons revolve, the slave will be offered succor again. Six months before the blow at Harper's Ferry, I stated that it would be mudo. and even indicated by whom; and again, I give the. slave driver a solemn warn ing to set his house in order, for his doom is pronounced-—"he shall die and not live."— Money will bo needed to execute these plans of liberation. Those of you pprovo it may aid it by your money. A Lady Picked up on the Snow Plough of u Locomotive t—Narrow Fscnpc from Denthf A singular accident occurred oil Moti lity evening last on tho Central Railroad at Waterloo, says the Rochester Union, by which a lady, of that village had a gratuitous ride before a locomotive, and narrowly escaped a forriblo death by being crushed beneath the wheels of the engine. As tho mail train, dito hero at 11.30 last night, was coming into Waterloo at 8.40, Mr. Wright, tho en gineer of tho locomotive “Goneral Gould,” saw a lady running along ono of tho streets towards tho train. Not supposing that she intended to cross the track ahead of tho train, lie kopt on his way running slowly, perhaps five orsix miles per hour. The lady, prob ably deceived Lomcwhatby tho speed of tho train or the distance it was from her, attempted to cross the track ahead of tho ongiue, hut did not succeed.— She wus struck by tho small snow plough or pilot, find fell upon it in such a manner that she rode quite safely for ten rods or more. Tho enginoor, tho instant that he saw how summarily lie had taken up a passonger, shut ofi’ stoam, reversed, and by the application of tlio brakes, stopped tlio train as soon as possible. He ran to the lady and found that she was not so much ii\jured, hilt that she was able to walk und speak. She was somewhat disconcerted by tho accident, hut expressed tho belief that sho had received no serious injury. It was u miraculous escape from a dreadful Miss Augusta Evans. Miss Augusta Evans (tho author of Dr0/ah.) is of a Georgian family, Jbut n Mobil inn. Her father was a merchant, engaged in cotton business, who died la*»t year—a man universally esteemed for his probity, business talents and in telligence. ‘Proud of his daughter, alas! he did not live long enough to wit ness her famo, and listen to herpraiso l llis was a mind which could liavo np-‘ preeiuted her book, and his heart that Would have throblied with just pride at its success. Miss Evans is not moro than three and twenty, if sho is that. Shu has a fine and rather commanding figuro, though not too tall; with an air of truly feminine grace. Her brow is oxnnnsivo, and her dark eyes expressive of genius* and fooling. .She is natural, unafit'o- ted, with a very warm-hearted smile, and social without absorbing conversa tion.- She does not betray the author- s, nor has a particle of the manner of 1 wish everybody—to—know—I—am •the—nuthor—of— Beulah.” A strong er might ho iu her company for days, and never suspeot she ever ventured be yond tho composition of “ a love let ter.” The scones of Beulah nro readily rec ognizable in Mobile, although tho au thoress has unfortunately striven too much to voil them from detection. The hook would liavo been very much more 'nhtuhlo, if she had painted us they nro the places sho only leaves now to bo guessed nt. Tho Orphans’ Asylum, and tho pine groves where Beulah loved to wander, nro plainly enough given. It an author lays Giesceno ol a story in any actual nnd known place, ho increases its in ti re t by drawing thorn to the life. An old tree with a rook at its base is so truth fully drawn hy Scott, that it has be come 11 historic treasure iu tho district where it is. Miss Evans is a transcondcntnlist, judging from her book. Sho has faith in Carlyle’s theories of spiritual develop ment, and in the soul working out its bwn destiny from love of virtue, inde pendent of revolution. Tlioso who know her bestjsay tho mental conflict through which Beulah and Dr. Hart well'passed, is hut the transcript of her own intellectual and moral experience. As a sculptor of character out of tho hard maruln of humanity, sho is lull'd- ly surpassed. 1 liavo already spoken of Adam Bedoand Life for Life. It is a wonderful coincidence—wholy without intention, lor . thu throe appeared aimul- tai easy. How very much alike tho three heioini's are, und Dr. Hartwell like tho Dr. in Life for Life! This re semblance must lmvo struck any one. It is a metaphysical riddle. Miss Evans could never have seen either of tlio books. Is tlio solution that books do not rule tho age, but tliut it is the ago which controls and directs its books?— N. O. Delta, JBgjrDr. Bowling, of New York, wi speaking of the incompatibility of union of Church and Stato in this coun try. Said ho: "Patrick and Bridget had boon mar ried along time, but did not get along well together, for they wero almost con stantly quarrelling. It happened, how ever, that one day they wero sitting quietly together opposite the fire, when iu came tho cut ami dog, nud laid down between them and the fire, nnd also opposite each other. Presently Biddy speaks up and* says, “Faith,* Patrick, isn’t it a shame wo should he always quarrelling ; see tho cat and dog, how noaceably thoy get along.” “Och, Biddy, suro an’it isn’t a fair compari son at all; just tie ’em together, an’ seo how they will act 1” death. The Senate Df.fiid.—A dispatch from Washington City, dated 28th ult., states that tho Sorgeant-at-arms of tho .Senate had returned from his expedition in search of contumacious? Harper’s Ferry conspirators and witnesses, and ho re ports that John Brown, jr., is in Ohio and defies the Harper’s Ferry Commit* tco and Congress. The Sergeant re ports that tho friends of Brown will not permit him to bo taken. This is con firmatory of tho previous report that a secret political society had been formed in Ashtabula county, Ohio, whoso object was to protect tho Harper’s Ferry gang from arrest, and that John Brown, jr., was among them. Does anybody be lieve either that tho President will en force tho laws in this easo, or that any other than a Northern Demoorutic Pres ident would nogloct to enforce them?— Col, Enq. flgyLet tho Democratic pnrty, as it as sumes to call itself, go on, if it dare, to nominate Douglas on tho Hquatter Sov ereignty, Non-intervention, Cincinnati platform, or to nomiuatQ any sympathiser with Douglas on that platform, and it will have besides tho Union pnrty, the whole power of the present DemocruUo ad ministration to aontend with, os wo hayo tho best authority for saying. Tho pre- sont administration is fully and conclu sively committed, as is also the Union party, against tpo heresy of popular, sovereignty, and in favor of the Dred Scott deoision, and it is bound to fight all who favor the first or oppose the last let them be Democrats or what not.— Wo shall meet you.tvt Phlllippi, good Democratic frfends, bo suro of tMfct.— CAron. ggyWe learn, says the Cincinnati- Commercial, that Richard Realf has actually become a proprietor and editor of the Macacheek Press, published at West Liberty, Ohio.
