HhJRSDAY MORNING, May 31. fading matter on every tOK OF THI8 PATER. Rather Haaplcloai. Hr. Douglas In his lata spoeeh In the ptte, seems to have found Georgia, j useful, as authority to sustain hit Urine of non-lnterrentlon. He al lies to the notion of tha Democracy fthls 8tate oltener than any other— loRenthat It excites the suspicion L there Is some special design In It. lie first quotes the resolutions .flop- J by tho Domoeratio State Convou- |i in 1H47, and mentions the names f F. II. Cone, E. W. Chastain, W. J. Wton, James Jackson aud L. Q. C. nnrj among those ''gentlemen, emi- ht for ahllity, eminent for their devo- i to .Southern ffeliU, eminent for sir position In the Democratic party, , were present and concurred in the dings." |le next alludes to "tho battle that *1 fiercely and savagely" in Ooor- f in 1850 over the compromise mens* s; told Mr. Toombs ho was “denoun- tssasubmissionlst because he sul lied the principles of non-interven- ' os contained in that compromise' 1 that Georgia decided in favor of [•■by about twenty ono thousand mv fity." Again, ho quotes the act of the floor- i Legislature passed in 1854, approv- j tho principles of tho Kansas Nebras- L Bill. He dwelt upon this at some [igthand sold he was "willing to taka i preamble and resolutions adopted } the State of Georgia in 1854, without i dotting of an 1, or tho crossing of a l i declare it to be tha Democratic phi t- .m." Towards tho conclusion of his speech, | bestows a hnndsomo culogium upon [lie of Georgia's gifted sous; ono of a brightest intellects that tills nation sever produced; one of tho most uful public man ; one whoso retire- lent from among ttr created universal grot throughout tho wliolo country." j of course meant Alexander llumil- n Stephens, than whom, lie says, “no km in the House of Representatives lorleil nioro power and influence in paring thepossago of the Kansas bill." r then asks Senator Pugh to read at bigth Mr. Stephens' letter to tho Mn- tn Committee, and pronounces it* "* Vic, veritable history of tho compro- |Uc measures of 1850, and of tho Kan* ^-Nebraska bill.” [This signal honor Mr. Douglas has kid to Georgia and, *'0110 of her most If tod sons," in his long spoeeh in tiio tnited States Senate, tve repeat, ap- 1 to us to liuvo m design in it. •oks to Georgia confidently for aid j ho }tonds in tho first instance that "one 1 the brightest intellects that this nn* on has ever produced,” shall bo second |>none but himself in this government, 1 the event of his securing tho nomi [stion at Baltimore; and failing in this, 2 shall be. JlrsL [ It is nccessory therefore lo put Geor* right upon tho record; to strength- t his friend hero, aud silence his one* \ Thin la our conclusion, lime will s whether it bo correct, Nv. Douglas on the Ultimatum. [ Mr. Douglas in ill* recent speech in Senate thus discourses upon the xmesseo ^solution," offered by the r York delegation to tho seceding •tea, provided they will come to Bul« wore and accept it: [ The resolution contains, in my opin- pn, two truisms, aud fairly considered, 10 man can question them. They nro, Irst, that every citizen of tho United States lias an equal right in the Torri- (tries; that whatever right tho citizen f one State has, may he epjoyed by the litaens of all the State*; that what* nrer property tho citizen of one State iay carry there, tho citizens of all tho toten may carry; and 011 wlwtcvor erms the citizens of one State can hold It and have it protected, the citizens of |11 States can hold it and have it pro* «tcd, without deciding what tho right s which still remains for decision.— fclio second proposition is, that a, right bf person or property secured by tho institution cannot be taken away hither by act of Congress or ot the Ter ritorial Legislature. Who evor dreamed Uiat either Congress or a Territorial gisUture, or any other legislative uy on earth, could destroy or impair bny right guaranteed or secured by the institution ? No man that I know of. This resolution leaves the some point ppen that remains open for tho courts tinder the Cincinnati platform and under the Knnsas-Nebraska bill. My objection is, that it bears ujwn its face the tmence that it isto be construed in tioo oppo site ways in the differ tut sections of the Union. I want no double dealing or double instruction." Will this Tennessee resolution bo any better than tho Cincinnati platform ?* Hr. Douglas says he can fully endorse It, and his only oltfection is that it is intended to deceive. Its adoption would appear to harmonise all conflicting Opinions in tiie Democratic party, when pn fact it leaves tho distracting question fight where the Cincinnati platform placed it. Tho party wont before the jeountry with this last document, agree ing to disagree; but upon this new plank they would pretend to agree, when 1 reality they would bo no nearer [reconciliation than before. In the Iformer there was some appearance, at [least,of honesty; in the latter there will [be conclusive evidence of dishonesty. Mr. Douglas says lie "wants no double [dealing or double construction.” Do [Southern Democrats want it for tho | purpose of once more getting into tho Douglas-fold T Woit until tho 18th of [ Juno and wo will know. Revival.—A series of religious mcet- j >ngs hovo boon in progress in the Bap- I tiat Church in this place for tho last ten Jays. Several conversions hove been the result, and many more are asking l an interest In the prayers of the people of God. Morning and night the con- j gregations are large, aud the earnest* 1 ness and seriousness which pervade them, give Indications that a great and good work is being performed in this community. A good One. When the Senate Bill relative to tho disposition of the "Wildfiro Africans,” was taken up in the House of Repre sentatives, Col. Underwood moved as an amendment,, that thoy bo sold In Florida, or set free in Massachusetts. Tho New York Express makes tho following comment r Cruel suggestion that, of Mr. Under wood, of Georgia, In Congress, to have tho "Wildfire^negroes sot freo in Mas* saehusotts. Cruel, because [don’t Un derwood know?] Abolitioufsin down there has no real "sympathy” for that class of unfortunates. If those "Wild* flro” negroes could only got somebody to own them first, and then get stolen from that owner afterwards, the feel, ings of Massachusetts Abolitionism would bo touched to tho quick,—but not otherwise. ISrTlio Mobile Jlegistcr, the Douglas organ in Alabama, whioh is exerting Itself to get up a bogus Convention at Selma, to send Squatter delegates to tho Douglas Ratification meeting In Baltimore next June, thus speaks of the address of the eighteen members of Con gress. Wo commend what It says (0 the Georgia signors: We shore witli tho Mercury its con tempt for that precious Congressional ! mpor, calling on the secedcrs to return o the Baltimore Convention. It is the nakedcst, tho flimsiest and the absurd- cat publio documents ever yet signed by eighteen men fit to till seats in Con- gross. tSJ^Tho New York Express thus speaks of tho "ultimatum of the South —tho Olivo Branch held out to seced ing delegates, and which thoy are going to Baltimore to accept: The Georgia Delegation sny, through their Chairman, that the lion. Culub Cushing told them, tho Platform bush ness was closed, when they ran ott*,— but thoy now loam that the job is not complete, and that a new plank can In put in. Now York, they say, ottered 11 plank, which tiie Georgia Delegation is willing to take. That plank (the Ten nessee one) is os fallows: Resohrd, Tliot tlio citizens of tiie Uni ted States have ail equal right to wottlo with their property in the Territories of the United States, and that under the Incision of the Supremo Court of the United States, which we recognize us the correct ox position of the Constitu- tionof tho United States, neither tho right of persons nor property can bo destroyed or intpaird by Congrc sional or Territorial legislation. Now this plank is about as clear as Georgia pitch pine,—but not linlf ns luminous,—for nolnxly doubts tiie right of the citizens of tho United States to sottlo with their I'norEHTV in all the Territories; cr, that Territorial Legisla tures cannot destroy property,—but 1st, Are negroes persons or proper ty ? 2d. Or, ore they mixed persons and property. 3d. Or, is their "service" only proper ty, and tuoir persons (bodies) like other le’s persons or bodies, tere is the greatest possible chance for metaphysics, ethics, ethnology, gcncology, mythology, theology, and all the other its and ola/irs under a Hcsohi lion like this. It eulipses even the Cin cinnati enigma in lucidity, and obseuri *y-" _ Sixnrt.Ait Advk.vtcrk.—The Peters burg (Va.) Express relates the follow lug occurrence: Mr. Ueorge T. Williams was riding out to the city from Cliostertield, in a barouch, having iu iiis )>08scssioq, col lections to tho amount of some $250, when within three miles of tho corpo ration, n woman, appearing much fa tigued and thoroughly drenched with nun, hailed him and asked to be taken intO'tho vehicle. Glud to do so good a service to tho )»oor creature, he consent ed. 8he handed him her basket, and was about to step in, when Mr. Williams discovered that her face was not alto gether feminine, and that her ieet, ns "slio" hoisted her dress, wero encased in tiie rather indelicate symbols of mas culinity,—boots, and of n heavy calibre, lie had the presence of mind to drop his whip, aud requested the pretended lady to pick it up for him, and taking advantage of her position to give the horse a starting jerk, went oil' at u ra pid speed. On reaching homo he was not a little surprised to find tho basket contained n pair of loaded pistols and l>o\vio knifo. They wore all exhibited at our office on yesterday. Jest* upon Scripture* It is very common with some persons* saysAhe Christian Messenger, to ralsoji laugh by moans of some ludlorous story connected with a text ot Scripturo.-- Sometime* it is a ploy upon words, a pun; at other times a blunder; and not seldom, a downright impiety. What ever bo its form, oven when lightest, it is no venial ottenco, leading, as it doos, to profane contempt of Goa’s word.— Thoso who practise this have never been celebrated for genuino wit. Tho laugh ter which they call forth is provoked sorely by the unexpected contrast bo- tween the solemn words of Soripturo and somo droll idea. There is no real wit in tho cose; and tho dullost now in society are most remarkable these contempts. Tho evils arising from this practice nro greater than appear at first. It leads m general, to Irrevercnco for .Script uro. No man would jest with the dying words of his falhor and his mother; yet the words of God are quite as solemn.— When wo have heard a comic or vulgar tale connected with a text of Scripturo, such Is tho power of association, that wo never hear tho text afterwards without thinking of the jest. Tho efl'oct of tills is obvious. He who is much engaged in tills 'kind of false wit will come at length to have a large portion of Iloly Scripture spot tod over by ids unholy fancy. The Baltimore American says j—Tho United States Senate yesterday brought tiie prolonged debate unon the resolu tions reported by Mr. Davis, to a conclusion, and finally, by a vote of thirty-sixtoiiintecn,ndoptod them ns an nuthoritntlvo exposition of the doctrine ol tho Democratic party on thosulject of Congressional anu Territorial power over tho subject of slavery. The fourth, fifth and sixth resolution of the sories, which relate directly to tho question which is at present in Issue botween the two wings of tho Democratic party, read ns follows: Resolved, That neither Congress nor a Territorial Legislature, whether by di rect legislation, or legislation of nn In direct and unfriendly character, possets power to annul or impair thoconstitu- tioal right ol any citizens of tho United States to lake his slave property into the common Territories, ami thoro hold and oiyoy tlio samo while tho territorial condition remains. VhWcW, That if experience should at nn.v time prove that the judicial and ex ecutive authority do not possess means to insure adequate protection to consti tutional rights in a Territory, and if the. territorial government should fail or refuse to provide tho necessary remedies for that purposo, it will bo tho duty of Congress to apply such deficiency. Late News. LA TEH FROM EUROPE. Arrival of the Steamship ARABIA. Halifax, May 28.—The steamship Arabia has arrived, with Liverpool dates to Saturday May 10th. General Newt.

Ka«tiivr Yoist, May 28.—In tho tele graphic rej»ort of tho sales of cotton for three days (os announced In the first dispatch) it is probable thoro was an error. It Is presumed the sale* should have been roported ot 22,000 bales, to whioh must bo added 14,000 bales for Wodnesdoy nnd Thursday. It was ranorted that Garrlhaldl had landed at Marsala (a fortified citv| in Sicily) under tho firo of two Neapolitan frigates. One of these frigates was sunk nnd tho other captured bv tho forces under Garribuldl. At tlio ’latest accounts from him ho was ongngod in battle with the royal troops. Col.

Tiie Treaties.—The Washington cor respondent of tho New York Journal of Commerce states that "a number of Now England Republican Senators hovo ro- solved, outsido of caucus action, to ap prove tho Mexican, Nicaraguan, nnd otlior Central American treatios, sub stituting for all stipulations of right of way from those States, in consideration of money payments, a provision guaran teeing ana protecting their respective transits, in return for perfect freodem of transit for the government of tiie Uni ted States and its citizens. Tlio provis ions of the now treaty with Honduras are acceptable to tho Senators alluded to, and they nro willing to approve tho other treaties, it drawn in similar terms. This decision will give tho country the substantial advantages of all tho trea ties in question, ns effectually perhaps, ns if they were adopted in their present form. The Republicans anu tiif. Washing ton Police.—As I telegraphed^ to you days since, the Republicans to-day vot ed down the appropriation for that por tion of the Washington police support ed by Congress. This is because of thi assault made on the Republican ratifi cation meeting on Saturday night by the rowdies. The police made no interfer ence, nor prevented it in any way, rightfully form a con»ti*ution to bo ad inittt J as a State into tho Union, may then, for the firat time, liko the pooplo of» State when fanning n now consti tution, decide for themselves whether slavery as a domestic institution, shall bo maintained or prohibited within tlielr jurisdiction : and "they shall ho received into the Union with or without slavery, a* their constitution may pre scribe at the time of their admission." Tiie adoption or those resolutions, by a nearly full vote of ail the Democratic Senators, will iucrcasH tiie difficulty of a satisfactory settlement of tho question hy tho National Convention which meets here next month. Tho resolu tions us they stand uro a semi-official expression of tiie faith of tho party which that Convention cannot rafely ignore, and yet, which tho majority of its members from tho Freo States dare not adopt without tacitly accepting an utterduleat in the Presidential contest. Good “Georgia Doctrine.** In a recent speech in Congress (for a copy of which wo ure indebted to Hon. David Clopton, made by Mon. Mr. Har deman, that gentleman enunciated the great principle for which tho South contends, in a very neat, form, in reply to Mr. Montgomery as follows: Mr. Montgomery.—Will the gentle man from Georgia yield to mo a mo ment ? Mr. Hardeman.—If l have misrepre sented the position of the gentlomun, I will yield to him. Mr. Montgomery.—No sir, you have not misrepresented mo; but I want to give you some Georgia doctrine. Mr. Hardeman.—Well, I willgivoyou tho Georgia doctrine of the American party aud I speak only for them, and that is this: Tliut Congress has no power to legislate upon the subject of Slavery in tiie Territories, either to establish or to legislate upon tho subject at all. ex cept for its protection where it legally exists. And believing tliut, I repudiate the doctrine, come from what quarter it may, tliut, because we can a legislate for our protection, we can legislate for the destruction of a right. That is Georgia uoctriuo, and by that doctrine l am willing to stand to-day. Mr. Hardeman is, ivo believe ono of the youngest men in Congress, and ranks high among tho States Rights Op position men of Georgia. Stick to the "Georgia Doctrine 1"— Mont. Mail.

A correspondent of tho Now York Host, writing from Spin, gives tiie fol lowing graph ie description of the dark- »yed maidens of Anualusia: Toward the close of a delightful day’s sight-seeing, l wundered into tho prin cipal Alamundu to gaze upon the dark- eyed in a ideas whose charms, as sung by Byron, had beon haunting my brain over since my arrival. Tho evening was pleasant, and tiie beauty nnd fasli- Departed this life, in Romo, Go., on Sabbath the 29th of April 1860, Mrs, Viroi.nia Scott, wife of Mr. Dunlap Soott, ami daughtor of Mr. Thomas Wray, late of Athens, Ga. Most unexpected was the death of this young wife, nnd mot her, and only daugh ter. Her sun hath gono down in the morning. When we looked for life, death came. She had much to attach her to life; tho past was full of pleasant memories, and the ftiture bright with buoyant hopes. She had boon happy In.the home of childhood and youth t happy in her school-days, for her diligence had boon rowardod with tho highest honor of horclas*. She was happy in the affections of a devoted husband, nnd In the cares of her infant children. And she was a happy member of tho church nnd com munity, in whioh she had mado a new homo. And during a short rosidonoo she made impressions of her sincere pioty and decidod character, whioh will not be easily erased. Alas l how sad tlio mission ot tho King of terrors, in tak ing from us, our (riond nnd sister. How sad tho grief of him, whose heart nnd home nro desolate; how sad the lot of those little ones, who will nevor know a mother’s love-^"A mother lost in child hood grievci the heart from day to day.” How sad that widowed mother, doubly stricken in the loss of suoh a daughter, when the foot-prints of tho mourners, still lingered around the fresh grave of a beloved husband. To all, more sad, thnn to her who lias been cidled homo to God—our loss has been her eternal gain l in early youth she gave hor heart to Christ, nnd was received by a venerable raster of Athens, into tho communion of the Presbyterian Church?—she de ferred not tlio great duty of life, to its uncertain closing hours. Although on- turagod to hope for restoration, she spoke of her death, and during her last day, manifested an unearthly affection and goutloness nnd humility. Thus the light of heaven seemed to shine through tlio dark valley, to cheer her departing spirit, nnd bcokon her on to that rest which remnineth to the pooplo of God Furcwell! our friond, departed worth, fare well ! On thoo, the fond, the tender thought ■hall dwell.” r. B.—The Constitutionalist, of Angustn, tho Athens Papers, and South* ern Presbyterian, will pleaso copy. The Usual Result. Green Island, N.

Discovery, of which particulars will, no doubt, shortly bo { riven to tho scientific world, was recent- y made in Egypt, in tlio neighborhood of tho Groat Pyramid by the celebrated archeologist, M. Augusta Mnrriotte. It would appear that in tho course of his exploration, I10 had lighted on the Pal ace of Choplirem, the King of Egypt who is supposed to havo been tho con structor of the Great Pyramid, and who lived about 3,COO years before Christ.— The immonso edifice is built of solid granite, nnd soven magnificent colossal statues of King Plmroah Choplirem have already beon discovered on it, which leads to tiie belief that further investiga tion will bring forth still moro curi ous and interesting remains. A Live African.—Tho greatest curi osity evor brougth to Barnwell was a llvo African, who mado his appearance here on Saturday last. Ho was captur ed a few miles from this place by Mr. E. D. Owens, and sont hero for safe keep ing until his owners come for him. He had wandered off from others, it is sup posed, belonging to Mr. Lamar, of Geor gia.

In this beauty, as a class, I wan, as nil else where, disappointed. Beautiful faces l raiv, it is true, but they wero exceptions to tho moss beheld. In my judgment, t'ie American woman, ns a general thing'ls os superior to tho vaunted Andalusian in personal ns site certainly is in mental attractions, I do not boar this testimony to Hatter, (i believe they have too much good sense to be vuin,) but because it is true. Yet many charms has tho Spanish maiden which forcibly arrest tho attention strangers Hor piquant head-dress, half-ruveulitu’, halt-concealing her wealth of glassy hair; her freo, erect carriage, and graceful, gazclle-liko step, all combine to invest her with interest ns deep us characteristic. Manners, too, has she essentially her own. She gives not her arm to escort in promen ade ; site extends not her hand to v gentleman acquaintance in greeting, ninl ho who woes her must breathe ins sighs through the lattice of her cham ber. She is foud of music; dancing is u second nature, nnd life and grace nro to every motion. She dislikes books or study ; she cares but littlol’or literature of any description ; her pleasure is in theactuul of life.
