T&tTldtoAV. MARCH 10, 1859. 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.

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. C. G. McLendon, continues the Livery Stable business in this city,’where he is prepared to accom modate the local and travelling public with fige Horses, Buggies, Carriages, &c. F. II. deGraffcnriod & Co., have established anew and fashionable Clothing Emporium next door to the ^‘Isabella House,” .where they are offering a fine assortment of Gentlemen’s Clothing made in the la test style, and they are determined not to fail in giv ing general satisfaction. Call and see them. We invite attention to the advertisement of “Land and Plantations for sale.” For further information ' Respecting the same, apply at this Office. 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- first rate order, of unexceptionable model, shown by her recent and early performances, bly-fast sailer.

The Treasury note bill was passed. The bill for the increase.in the tariff, the abolition of the franking privilege, and the bill for increasing the rates lbr'postagcs, were all defeated.

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 of a Northern President, upon a sectional and anti- Invery issue wilt be cause enough to justify seces- advertisement in another column. 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. ’ , LATEST FROiJI EUROPE. Arrival of the Europa.
