Government- Expansion—Central America.
In these days -which has made Nicaragua the
prominent scene of Fillibustering Expeditions, a
glance at Central America may not bc.out of place.
Looking on the map we find it connecting the two
grand divisions of the American continent, while its
ports open to Europe and Africa on the East, and
to Asia and Australia on the West. In respect to
Geographical position, we almost realize the idea
that commercially, Central America is the grand cen
tre of the world. She has fire States or independent

The Weather.
After the recent heavy rains the weather is again
warm and pleasant. On Sundnylast and until Mon
day morning, there was a constant and unusual heavy
rain in this vicinity, and from what wo learn by
exchanges, was general throughout the State. Flint)
River at this point has swolen beyond its banks and
is still rising.
New Post Office. •
A new Tost Office, known as “Bonds Mills P. O.”
has recently been established in Baker Co., Georgia,
and William CoX*, Esq., appointed Post Master.
Personal.
Ex-Gov. II. V. Johnson, and Phillip T. Schley,
G. II. P. R. A. C. of Georgia, were in our city last
week. We also note the arrival of the Hon. David
J. Bailey, and Col. James Gardner. These gentle-
.raen all seemed in the cqjoymcnt of fine health and
spirits. ^
Death of the Post Master General.
A telegraphic despatch from Washington to the
Augusta Chronicle£ Sentinel, announces the death of
this distinguished Statesman. Aaron V. Brown
was the Democratic candidate, and was elected Gov
ernor of Tennessee during the heated contest be
tween the Democratic and American parties. At the
time Mr. Buchanan was inaugurated President of
the United States, he invited Mr. Brown to the office
of Post Master General, which he accepted, and
whjch office he so faithfully filled to his own honor
and credit to the Cabinet.
The unexpected news of the dentil of this honored
Statesman, will be received with profound emotions
of the deepest sorrow. lie was attacked with Pneu
monia on the 2d, aud died on the 8th instant.
Avalanche on the South-Western Rail Road.
We learn that as the last Car of the Monday morn
ing Passenger train passed over the high embank
ment above Kinchafoonee Bridge, near this city,
the earth suddenly gave way, causing-a dreadful
wash of the Road. Had the train been half a min
ute later, the ifrs&ster would]doubtlcs» have been ter
rible and sad; fortunately, however, no damage was
done, save the washing away ofthedirtby the great
collection of water, which, by the usual energetic
management on the part of the officers of the Road,
was sufficiently repaired to allow the evening train
to pass up without interruption.
. Examination of Teachers.
It will be seen by a notice in the proper column,
that the Commissioners for the examination of Tea
chers of this county, will be ready to make the pro
per examination in this city on Saturday, the 19th
instant. The Ordinary has given a general invita
tion for all interested to attend. We hope to see all
the Teachers of the county present at*the'examina
tion, as this is the proper course to arrive at the re
quirements of the statute.
New Advertisements.
We invite attention to the new advertisements in
this issue.
Messrs.* Zeilin & nunt, Macon, Ga., have on hand
a fresh and fine assortment of all kinds of Drugs,
Medicines, Paints, Perfumery, Garden Seeds, and
Surgical Instruments, to which attention is .invited
and public patronage solicited. Their fine assort
ment is offered either by wholesale or retail at rea
sonable rates.

when sailing on his fourth voyage in 1502, first
planted his foot on American soil, and formally took
possession of. the country on behalf of the crown of
Spain. Subsequently, or rather in 1821, the five
States, composing this Republic threw off their allo-
giance to Spain and each assumed an independent
confederacy, and now assert and exercise their dte-
linct soverign powers. Civilization has accomplished
much in the interior and on the, Pacific coast, but
: savage spirit which existed aiming the na
tives on the Atlantic slope or Musquito shore a hun
dred years ago, still remains mils uncultivated and
barbarous condition, and we have no reason to hope
for a better state of society until that republic shall
be controlled by those Who are capable of teaching
and govering.
The republic of Honduras is "regarded by travel
lers as the most civilized of either of the Central
American States, possessing a diversity of surface -
and elevation, with broad and fertile valleys, wide
and elevated plains, and mountains terraced to tlicir
summits, collectively affording almost every possible
variety of climate, soil and productions. The cli
mate particularly has been represented ns surpass-
;ly salubrious, and may be regarded as a panacea
for all pulmonary complaints. Witli such a country,
favorable for sustaining a large population give us
room to point unerringly to the ultimate and speedy
development.of a-rich and powerful State, and with
a government making the interest of the country its
primary care, will not fail to insure her a population
rich in intelligence, strong in energy and powerful
in industry. At present the “Mahogany” is regar
ded as the staple commodity of the country, but the
soil ami climate is every way favorable for the
growth of all tropical productions—such ns sugar,
coffee, tobacco, &c., while cotton, rice, grain and
all the fruits, vegetables ami productions of more
temperate regions may be raised in the greatest
itaunch and trim little craft, of about 240 tons bur-

abundance. Honduras in equally distinguished for
her rich mines of gold, silver, copper and iron,
which only need flic touch of intelligence, enterprise
and capital to become equal if not superior in value
to/an$nn the world.
^TIt appears from nil official paper of Honduras,
that “from the 1st of April 1851 to Mist January
1853, there were entered in accordance with tlu
mining laws, not less thansixteen opal mStes in one
single District, and for the department at large foi
the same period, were entered thirteen silver mine!
onft gold mine and or c coal mine.” In the future
development of this country, rhe agricultural inter
est* must attract the first attention, on account of it
aluablc natural products, its easy access to good
ports through navigable rivers, its easily cultivated
soil, adapted to the successful cultivation of nil the
great staples of the tropics. Had the several Ei
pean attempts to plant settlements in Central Amer
ica been made here, instead of on the low, hot allu
vions on the coast, it is probable they would have
escaped the complete and disastrous failures which
have overtaken and destroyed them all. Thus said,
it will be seen that we have confined our observation
to the Northern portion of Central America—a coun
try enviable in the extreme to every American citi-
who feels an interest for liis country and espe
cially for the Southern portion of our independent
confederacy.
In this connection, we must remark with regret,
that there are those,’who with pale face*, are terror-
stricken at the very mention of any expansion of this
Western republic. To such men the term “Gov
ernment expansion” is a sound of horror, and they
stand ready to fold their arms and fall into the cold
and silent narrow house, rather than extend the
blessings of religion and civilization to n, class of
common citizens, who require reformation
finemont.—It is not our desire hurriedly to frighten
these timid spirits to their long and narrow horai
but it is our bold intention to assert that the time is
hastening on when the whole of our Western conti
nent will ^pl the lasting and beneficial influence of
mild government and solutary laws. The signs
of the times are foreboding, and we as a nation, arc
determined by all natural and honorable means,
neither to falter nor fall in our united efforts, to
point to every uncultivated nation of the Western
continent, the blessed light of the day-star of reli
gion and civilization. If wc fail in tljis, the down
trodden can only triumph in their shame. Come
what wilf, there should be no end to our efforts to
extend a sound, healthy, republican government
over the weak and benighted blind.
Irverson Meeting at Griffin.
Below wc give the proceedings of a public meet
ing held at Griffin, Ga., sustaining the late speech
of the Hon. Alfred Iverson and condeming the course
of Stephen A. Douglas. In tho meeting were many
prominent and lending members of tho American
Party,vand wc rejoice to see a feeling of political
brotherhood existing with that party. Their sincer
ity will be appreciated by the Democratic payty:
RESOLUTIONS. ,
The following resolutions were introduced and
unanimously passed at the meeting of tho citizen;
of Spalding county, held at Griffin on the 23d \n»t
for the purpose of making a public endorsement of
■the late specli of Senator Iverson.
Resa,Iced, That we heartily approve the manly and
dignified defence of the South and Southern right:
and principles on the part of Senator Iverson in hi:
recent speech in Congress on the Pacific Railn ad
hi!l,anJ that, he is entitled to the thanks of all true
Southerners for the very able and statesmanlike
vindication of their cause in tho face of our enemies
and in opposition to the sentiment*of overwhelm
ing numbers; and that our thanks are liareby ten
dered to him for the noble example he has set to all
who occupy the responsible position of representa
tives of Southern States.
Resolved,"that we concur in the opinion uttered
by him on that occasion, that when the present re
publican party tr its legitnaie successors .-hall get
possesion of all th-‘ departments of the Government,
“step by stop it will be driven onward in itrf mad career
until slavery is abolished or the union dissolved.
One of these two things are as inevitable as death.**’
That “the north intends to put down slavery at the
South, peaceably il they can, terribly if they must.”
‘That there is hut me path of safety f< r the insti-
tition of slavery in the South, when this mighty
Northern avalanche of fanaticism and folly shall
press npon us: and that path lies through separation
and a Southern Confederacy.” “That the election

years, and thereby enable the Treasury Department
to moet the notes now shortly falling due. The sec
tion abolishing the franking privilege, and increas
ing the rates of postage, was emphatically rejected.
In tho House, among other appropriations made,
zs three hundred and forty thousand dollars for
the existing mail contracts to California via Panama
and Teliauntcpec, Jo end in September. Butterfield’s
steamer mail bill, for a route from Mobile and New
Orleans to the Mexican Gulf ports, was passed by
the Senate almost unanimously,but Was stricken off,
with many other appropriations in the House.
Extra Session of Congress.
Washington, March 5.—There is* now hardly *a
loubt. about the call fdr an extra session of Congress,
but whether it will be made before or after the au
tumn elections has not been determined by the Pres
ident. This is general public rumor, and very gen
erally believed. ’ ,

THE CHARLESTON MERCURY.
A POLITICAL, COMMERCIAL, AND LITERARY
PUBLISHED DAILY AXD Till- WEEKLY.
The Mercury gives daily reports of the Market
and Marine Intelligence in Charleston, and of
Charleston commerce in the leading seaports of the
world. The Weekly Prices Current is made up with
much care, and from tho most reliable sources. Its
connection with the “Associated Press” insures the
latest intelligence by Telegraph and the earliest
icws by Steamers from Europe. It has an aide and
ccomplisLed Correspondent in London (a gentleman
connected with the editorial staff of. the London
i,) and regular Correspondents in New York,
Washington, Key West and Havana. The monthly
New York Fashion Letters ami weekly letters on Life
Washington are additional attractions in farorof
its lady readers. Its literary notices, from the pen
of a gentleman who occupies perhaps the highest
position among the literary men of the South, are
discriminating and comprehensive. Attention is
paid to alt matters of general concern, especially
those in reference to the Planting and Agricultural
interests, and to the current news of the day. Great
care is taken that nothing shall appear in its col
umns which should be excluded from the family
circle.
Tho political creed of the Mercury consists in the
principles of the Democratic Party, as Jaid down in
the Virginia and Kentucky Resolutions of 1798 and
1799—the Sovereignty of the States; a Strict Con
struction of the Federal Constitution by the Gene
ral Government, the Agent of the States; Free trade,
and an economical Administration of the General'
Government. Its policy is the union of the South
ern States in maintaining their rights.
