jgoewiU, the pdople, cheerfully biding their voice at
the polla. But thia we do not anticipate. Even now,
they are attempting to mako an ieaue foreign to the
ggie. They are particular to deeignate, aliould the
Whi(i have a majority in the Legielature, whom they
WI H a |oct United Statea Senator—a matter about which
they know nothing, and which the Whiga will deter,
alee upon without regard to their presumptions in relai
gm to it. Other false issues will be presented, moat of
chick, by the time the Convention aeaembles, we shall
hew an inkling of through their press, and the action
if Mr Convention. They must, therefore, be met
promptly, and efficiently. How is thia best to be done 1
lot a Convention assemble I Let it be, emphatical
ly, a Convention of the people of Georgia, to nominate a
cudidala for Governor of Georgia! Let it be a Con.
nation favorable to thefrus interests of Georgia—a Con-
notioo whose sole object in making the nomination, will
fe, to advance the prosperity of the State, and not
nenly the success of a party. Every tax payer in our
State, without regard to his party associations, is in.
united in the action of such a Convention. And for
me, we invite all such, who feel disposed to act for the
good of the State, and for the preservation of their own
interests, to join with us, in getting up, and in send,
icg delegates to such a Convention. The interests of
the people demand that there should be no faltering
here. Georgians, who love their State, and who are
rejoicing over her rescue from former wretched mis-
nle, should be active in their exertions to prevent the
bamfal influence of mere party spirit, and parly aggran.
dneawnf from again ruling supreme. They can do this,
by united and energetic action, the result of calm do-
libention and wise counsel: A Convention thus or.
giniud, and with such objects in view, must, we feel
convinced, meet with almost unanimous approval on the
put of the people, who will be deeply interested in its
deliberations and determinations. It can, too, present
to the people those issues upon which it proposes to do
battle against the opposition, and it can thus guard them
against 'issues (to one of which we have alluded) which
our opponents are already desirous of forcing into the
cinraii. Other reasons we might urge, but we desist.
Belieriog, then, that these suggestions will meet
with general approval, we would urge upon our friends
iu every county of the Slate, to procood at once, to nom
inate their delegates to the Convention. Let the num.
her be in accordance with the number of members in
the lut Legislature I And let the day be, the Fourth
Honnar nr June next ! From such action, we con-
Ideally anticipate a result beneficial to the State.
As the counties nominate, we will take pleasure, if
forwarded to us, in publishing their proceedings.
IT The Savannah RF.pnnr.rcsN suggests the 1st
Monday in July next aa a suitable time for the assem-
hlage of the Convention to nominate a candidate for
Geoarnor. We have not the least objection to that day,
hit u it is neceuary to determine this matter at once,
aadas the fourth Monday in June has met with the ap
proval of some of our friends, we hope that our cotem-
poetries of Macon, Augusta, Columbus, and elsewhere,
•ill intimate through their papers whether the Conven
tion shall be the fourth Monday in June, or the first
Monday inJuly next. We shall go with the majority.
VIRGINIA ELECTION.
The election for Members of Congress and the Leg-
hlature took placi in Virginia on Thursday last. Up to
yoaterday, but few counties have been heard from, and
Ihoy are those near Richmond. In the District inclu
ding the city of Richmond, although it gave Mr. Clay a
majority of 200 to 300, Mr. Botts, the Whig candidate
hat been beaten by about 150 to 200 votes for Con
I’m. Mr. Lyons, the Texas Whig, haB also beaten
die regularly nominated candidate for the Legislature,
in the city of Richmond. All of this is just what we
horoerpecied for some time past, and we have but lit-
tkdeobt that the Democrats will have a majority in the
legislature. We have witnessed with regret the course
panned by the greater portion of the Whigs relative to
Ihn Tens question, in Virginia. They have been in.
tolerant to those disposed to favor the annexation of
Tew; they have made it* an objection to members of
Congress and to the State Legislature; and have at.
fwpted to put them down. The result is, much die.
nord baa existed for some time past. Mr: Botts has
Man defeated, and we think the Democrats will have
legislature, and elect their United States Senator,
tt, be next session. We hope this lesson will not only
naaiethe Whips of Virginia to act more wisely in fir
Mot that it will be a warning to others. Next
we expect to give the general result.
***• FROM LIVERPOOL, MEXICO, TEXAS,
AND BRAZIL.
The Foreign News from Liverpool, Mexico, and Tex-
**.aa well as from Brazil, which we publish to-day will
*“ be found interesting to the reader; That from Liv-
•fool shows, among other things of interest, that the
"““•■arket had somewhat declined, although the
•“afaeturere were doing a good business.
i “portent of our foreign Items Is the one
routing to oor intercourse with Brasil. It appears that
. **’ our Minister to that Government, has been
gwaaly insulted, and our vaeeele throateaed to be fired
open. The reaaoo aeaignad for theee outrages, is, that
Wisa’a interference with the slars trade had proved as
obnoxious to tho Government of Brasil, as It bid been
suooeseful in preventing a great many vaaaala from eon.
tinning the trafto. It appears that the position which
our Government has assumed in relation to the right of
eearcb, baa been liesed upon by the Braxillian slavers
to prosecute their trade. They purchase, or charter,
American vessels and sail them under the American
Flag; and as tbs British cruisers do not attempt to
board them, they avoid the search of at least three
fourthe of the force employed to etop the trade: Mr.
Wieo'e observation soon enabled him to seethe game
that was played, and his energy soon enabled him to de
tect and arrest vessels engaged in it. This broughtdown
upon him not only the elavere themselves, but the Gov
ernment of Brazil, which, beyond a question, cncour.
ages the slave trade; and our Miniater has been, from
all accounts, roughly handled. We shall soon, though,
be better informed, in relation to it, and ebould it turn
out, as represented, we hope that Mr. Polk will prompt
ly give order* for a seventy-four or two to proceed to
Brazil, and with powder and lead, resent the insult of-
fered to the United States. Theee Brazilians ehould
be taught a lesson, that thoy will not soon forget. They
are generally insolent in their deportment to citizens of
the United States, and their officials, and need to be in
formed that any insulting act of theirs, will, for all fu
ture time, be most summarily chastized. They
will then learn to treat us with that respect which the
United States should, and must command from all for'
eign nations.
O’ Since writing the above, later. newB both from
Europe and Mexico has been received, to extracts from
which inour columns, we refer the reader.
THE SOUTHERN QUARTERLY REVIEW.
The April number of this able Review we have had
before ub for several days,and feel gratified,after ape.
rusal of several of its articles, to award to it all tho
credit which is due to a work that will vio with any
similar publication in this, or any other country. We
know that this is saying a great deal—so much, that it
may be passed by as an ordinary newspaper compliment
for which the Editor has either received an equivalent
or expects to be benefitted in some way for his
notice. Such motives it is useless for us to disclaim.
We do not live where Booksellers, Authors, and Re
viewers, make it a matter of interest to secure puffs
from the press, nor whore Editors soli an editorial
compliment—so that, if we bo deemed extravagant in
peaking of the Review before us, we hope it will be
attributed alone to the honest conviction on our part,
that the work richly deserves it. We speak of its lit.
erary and scientific character. Of its political bearing,
we are not yet sufficiently enlightened. That, in this
latter respect, it will be true to the South, we have not
a doubt, although we do fear that there will prevail in
its articles a little too much of what is common in
Georgia to term “Blujfton sentiments." In a previous
number we saw something of this, but, however objec.
tionable it was to us, wo were willing to forget the
sentiment, because of tho interest which the writer im
parted to his subject.
The articles in the April number are as follows ;
1st. Ante-Roman Races of Italy,
2nd. Poems by Elizabeth B. Barret;
3d. Spirit of the Age;
4th; Religion in America;
5th. Unity of the Races.
6th. The Judicial Tenure.
7th. Mr. Hoar’s Mission.
8th. Carolina Political Annals.
9th. Critical Notices.
We regret that we have no time to notiee and to ex
tract from, one or two, at least, of these articles, at
some length. We feel assured that our readers would
be well pleased with the subjects selected by the Re
viewers. But time we have not, and must therefore
close with the remark that the Southern Review, in
our bumble opinion, if sustained as the April number is.
richly merits the patronage of all Southern men. There
may be in it, a little too much of “Carolina Sentiment’
in relation to political matters, the tariff, free trade, &c.
but even this should not make it objectionable to those
who do not entertain them. And even if it should be,
the fault is more than atoned for, by the interest and
information which other portions of each volume impart
to every reader. With these impressions, we feel au
thorized to commend it to our readers, and hope that
many, if not all of them, will enclose to the publisher,
Silas Howe, No. 52. Broad Street, Chableston,
85, which is the subscription price for one year.

ID*After many weeks of severe drought, which liter
ally parched up our gardens, we were visitod on Sun'
day evening, a little after dusk, by a severe storm of
wind and rain, which lasted about an hour. The rain
was accompanied, for a short time, with severe hail,
which, however did but little damage. We are inform,
ed though, that the “April showers” which have been
falling in the surrounding country for eomo week or ten
days past, have not been as gentle as “April showers'
are generally supposed to be. The latest experience
says, that they fall like streams from the clouds, and
that the bail which accompanies them, is large and does
great damage to the wheat and young corn. The far'
mere near us, or some of them, complain very much of
the damage which has been done them by recent hail
storms. That which fell here on Sunday night, was,
compared with others that we have heard of, a light
ono. The rains wore refreshing, and we live now in
much more pleasant atmosphere than we have been sur
rounded by for six weeks or more.
Newspaper Changes.
ICT The Republic, a Democratic newspaper, estab
fished about six months since in the city of Macon, and
edited by S. M. Strong, Esq. has been discontinued and
its subscribers, Sec, turned over to the Georgia Tele
graph.
XT Wit. L. Jeter, Esq., the junior Editor of the Co
lumbus Times, has sold his interest in that establish
ment to Marcus M. Johnson, Esq., formerly editor of
tho Macon Democrat.

even with all tha requisite* wa hava met,Honed.—
Chanoa often elevate* the hard student to fee**, tut
as often retain* him in obscurity. Of the bar of
Philadelphia, for inetauce, we can apeak from an in
timate Knowledge; and we could point to more
than one lawyer, with a head already beginning to
grow grey, who, with every qualification to adorn
its highest walks, has been unable to struggle up,
merely because he has never yet had a case, or a
succession of cases of the right character to de-
velope his abilities. The fact ie, there are five-
times as many lawyers as there should be, both here
and elsewhere ; and, in consequence, four-Afths of
the profession must starve. The evil is increased
by the tendency of clients to seek an attorney of
acknowledged reputation, thus preventing the man
of us yet unknown fame from obtaining a start. It is
true, some kind hearted friend may entrust a case
the aspiring young advocate ; but it is rarely
such a one as is calculated to make an impression,
and years may pass before even this opportunity
occurs to a youth without influence. We know two
men who have hud distinguished success in the last
ten years, but they owe their position to an acquain
tance with foreign tongues and the foreign clients
this brought them. The greatest luwyert, both of
this and the past generation, were years before
they made enough to support themselves; and few
men, whatever their abilities, can hope to pay their
expenses until after many a long term of suspeuse
and heart-burning.
The business of the courts everywhere during;
tho last few years, has declined one-half, in conse
quence of the bankrupt act, and other laws cancel- •
ling the claims of creditors. There is really more i
done at conveyancing, both here and elsewhere,
than at the more legitimate business of the law.—•
Yet the numberoflnwyershas increased two-fold in t
the last ten years, so that actually the chances oi ‘
success are scarcely one-fourth of what they were
in 1835. But all the present leading attorneyi i
had made their reputations at that period. Whatl
chance then has a young man now in theprofea..
sion 7 Ten to one he will not pay his office rent!
the first year; fifty to one he wi<l not make his ex
penses ; a hundred to one he will never rise to op
ulence or fume. Amid such fierce competition
there are scores of chances even against a man of
ability and acquirements, unless he is backed by an
influential family, or meets with some lucky case
which at once lifts him into notice. We could
point to young men of ten years standing at tha
oar, well read and of strong intellects, who do not
make as much as a Market-street clerk. We could
point to others who started life under the same
auspices, but who now are irrevocably doomed to
the lowest walks of the profession, because they
took to pettifogging to keep themselves from starv
ing.
We do not mean to say that a man without influ
ence, must fail nt tlto bar, or that another with it,
must succeed. Far from it. But if a young law
yer has a moderate income, sufficient fur the super,
fluities of life, he is in the best possible condition
for success; for, while he can aflbrd to wait until
he can build up a right kind of a reputation, he ia
yet thrown upon his exertions to achieve both posi
tion and fortune. On the contrary, many a young
man of ability, industry and acquirements, is actu
ally driven from the profession, because he cannot
aflbrd to wait long enough to build up a name.
Parents who are seeking a pursuit fot their sons, -
and young men who are ambitious of success in
life, should take theso things into consideration.—
The fame acquired by some of our great lawyers
is, we grant,a fascinating thing in the eyes of young
ambition ; but it should he recollected there is but
one Webster, and ten thousand blanks. In Booth-
er pursuit are so many difficulties to be overcome ;
or iq no other is the amount of talent and Labor re
quired so great. Many a youth who might have
succeeded as a mechanic, merchant or farmer, has
dragged through life a broken-hearted lawyer, or
suuk at the outset after a struggle or two into a
knavish pettifogger.
What is the reason for this ? A false notioo that
the law is u more honorable pursuit than trade—a
notion derived from England and fostered there,
because the profession has long been the dernier
resort of the younger aristocracy. But in this
country, we should learn to know, and to act up to
the knowledge, that all pursuits which are honest,
are alike honorable.

Messrs Editors .-—Although living in the Interior, at
a considerable distance from the seaboard, I have ven
tured to notice tha important subject of who shall be
Governor tf Georgia, and in doing eo, shall beg leave
briefly to kdrtrt to the signs of the times is sbadownd
forth in the Georgian, particularly of the 18th and 19th
inct. In case other and abler pens, in your city end
vicinity, ebould have noticed the Georgian and its cor
respondents cs you think they deserve, before this reach-
ee yon, you ere at liberty to consign tbeao remarks to
tbs oblivion of your "old barrel.”
It bet been said, and it is hold, that tho vigor of our
»republican institutions can bo best preserved and main,
laincd by the existence of opposite political parties; and,
indetd, aa long as opposite parties continue honestly
to aim at the shine object—the good of their common
country—it may be considered as a settled axiom of
political economy. But like all othor truths, it ia lia
ble to be falsified and abused. Because it is true in
its proper acceptation, it does not follow that it cannot
be urged beyond its legitimate extent, to an extreme
that may destroy the effect and influence of its virtue,
end ttamp it with the hideous aspect of vice. I know of
no truth, no principle, that may not be thus abused.—
Once admit that the interests of party, tho interests of
demagogues and politicians, are to be practically con-
udered paramount to the interests of the country, you
admit within your vitals a principle of decay as fatal,
but more violent thun that which sapped away the
health and life of tho Republic of Rome—tho constant
swelling of tho unproductive classes by a steady ab
straction from the industrial pu-suiis. One is attended
with the spasmodic symptoms of Asiatic, cholera—the
other is the slow, but incurable disease of consumption.
Are there no lessons of instruction to be derived from
the history of the past ?—no warning from the misfor
tunes and follies of others? Then let us hear no more
of the “march of mind” and the boated enlightenment
of the present age!
I observe in an articlo published in the Georgian of
theI8lh, under the signature of"S” this distinct sen
tence ; “Our opponents have their strongest man in
the field, and are evidently bent on making a determin
ed fight : they evince a desire to keep the Stale buried
in the narrow minded bigotry of Whigism." “The nar-
. row minded bigotry of Whigism! I” This, of course,
i is applied to the present Executive of Georgia—and in
l Jiis relation only it calls for notice. Lotus see how
I his “narrow minded bigotry” has operated on the inter-
i tsts of the people of Georgia, Democrat as well as
' Whig. Let us see whether the interests and well
I teing of tho State were not already “buried in the
t larrow minded bigotry,” and mistaken policy of short
s lighted and impracticable Democracy—and whether
t lie resurrection from that burial was not effected
I ty the energy and financial ability of Gov. Crawford,
; tided by Whig policy and Whig credit.
But a short period before the election of the pres-
- !nt incumbent, the 6 per cent, bonds of the State
were hawked in the markets at forty to fifty cents on
the dollar; and by the manceuvering and management
af speculators, who were taking advantage of tho de
preciated bills of the Central Babk, with which they
{ iiirchased those bonus, they were actually selling as
ow as thirty-five cents on the dollar.
The 8 per cent, bondsat the same time were selling
for sixty cents, subject also to similar influences in
jurious to the original bondholders. Not long after
the invigorating policy adopted by Gov. C. had been
fell, Georgia sprang like a giant from the ineshes
that bound her. She arose and onco more walked
forth in the pride of her native might—the admiration
of all who beheld her, the joy of all who loved her.
The 6 per cents wore appreciated to ninety a
ninety-three cents; the 8 per cents to one hundred and
two; Central Bank bills went up to par value with
gold and silver, and the Penitentiary which had been
a constant and heavy tax upon the citizens of the
State, has become a source of revenue, in defiance
, of the great disadvantages of loss of time and labor
i iccasioncd by ihc fire of November, 1813. Super
i itlded to this, I am informed by very credible au
i hority, that tho present holders of the Slate 8 per
c ents arc urgently dcBirous of having them contin
u ed as securing to them a most profitable invest,
in ient; and further, that if they were to bo continued
tliatthey would very probably appreciate to llOcents
oi > the dollar. You can readily ascertain if this
o pinion be correct by enquiring of the capitalists ill
S avannah. Let these facts speak home to tho cart-
d or, patriotism and honest pride of every tax payer in
G lenrgia.
But, says a correspondent of the Georgian, of the
1 9th inst., “these are things with which, in the pre
eont juncture, the Democratic party has little to do!’
Is:, it not a thrilling and a burning shame that such
a sentiment should fall from the lips of any man in
G leorgia 1 I put it to the conscience of every patriot,
e very honest man in the Slate, every man who re-
£ arils the interests of his State as superior to the
n iterests of party, whether lie will countenance and
ei acourage the idea that high public virtue and
ei ninent executive abilities combined with faithful
pi jbfic services, are to pass for unmeaning things,
or to be trampled under foot if they should chanco
to stand in the path nf a triumphant party on its
crusade after the “spoils of office!” Are shadows
to take the place of substances, and Words of things!
M elhinks I hear you answer with au indguanl—No !
w hile with true and determined virtue you resolve
to check this reckless desperation of parly spirit be
fore it shall have trodden to the dust all that is yet
dc ar, honored and valuable.
To that patriot sou of Georgia—Geoage W. Craw-
fo rd—who has rendered such signal service to his
ns .live State, and secured for himself a bright and
er iduring page in his country’s history, I would say,
fn >ui your commanding position—like the noble stag
on the mountain top—you may snutf tho “tainted
br, leze,” and hear in the distance the bay of hound and
ye Ip of cur, and at theseyou will blench not; envy may
in vent, calumny may propagate, detraction may hiss
p< neons from her forked tongue, but you will heed them
m it. The sone of Georgia placed you whore you are
on your part, unwillingly, and at a sacrifice of your per-
eo oal interest and comfort. Your patriotism alone in-
du iced you to 6orvo them ; from the same motive you
wi 11 serve them again—and they will choose no other.

TEN DAYS LATER!
We have an Extra from tho office of the New Or
leans Picayune, dated at 11 o'clock, A. M., 20th inst.
That paper says ;
“The schooner Fanny arrived at this port this morn
ing with later advices from Vera Crna. We are in
debted to Capt. Patherson for Vera Cruz dates of the
11th inst.;—the schooner sailed on the 12th, which is
ten days later than our previous advices.
“Mexico has not declared war against the United
States : but the official paper, El Diario del Qoberno,
of the 3d inst. announces that it is in possession of
certain movements on tho part of the Government of a
warlike character, which it is constrained to withhold
from the public, as secrecy is the soul of military opera
tions ; but that journal adds, that it trusts that the speedy
and successful issue of these operations will soon relieve
the public curiosity in regard to them.
“The papers of the capitol of Vera Cruz are occupied
almost exclusively with the subject of Annexation.—
There are not wanting those who insist that there is no
alternative left to Mexico to preserve untarnished her f
honor but war. The writers make the distinction that
though, from the necessity of the case, the acknowledg
ment of the independence of Texas might not be incom
patible with national honor, the Annexation (agrega.
tion) of that Department to a foreign country is a flag-
rent outrage. The logic of this is nqt so obvious as it
might be. They goon to say that it is no longer an
open question ; that however they may have been dis
tracted by civil dissensions, the present Government is
bound by the pledges of previous admiuisi rations; aud that
the protests against Annexation, made many months
since, should be followed up to avoid national humilia
tion in the eyos of tho world, and the proceedings of
the United States Congress sanctioned by the Execu
tive, be insisted upon as a tacit declaration of war.—
The Mexican Congress has not yet screwed up itacour-
age to assume the responsibility of Ibis position.
“On the 3d instant, Senor Cuevas, the Minister of
Foreign Affairs, addressed to the Chambers a long and
g eneral memorial appertaining to his Department. YVe
ave not seen it, but it is represented as a cautious and
guarded exposition of the topics upon which it touches;
but by the liberal papers it is deemed entirely too tame
and pacific in its tone, although he argues that Annexa
tion should inevitably bring on a war. He places strong
apparent confidence in the interference of European
powers, which, although assenting to Texan indepen
dence, may, he trusts, oppose the further enlargement
of the United States territory. The more high-spirited
editors rebuke him for these sentiments, and insist that
no people can maintain an honorable, distinct national
existence when relying upon foreign powers for its pro
tection, that Mexico should appeal at once to arms,
trusting nothing to diplomacy, (which is so swayed by
Europe, instead of interests)—and that as her only hope
ol resisting the ultimate entire absorption of her tsrri-
inf to the last degree the rights end honor *1 Mexico,
ie equally destructive to the universal principles of jus
tice, to the respect dee frets and intelligent nations, and
the good la itu which civilization h-s fixed as the basis
of national intercourse [intornacional politics] ILs
Excellency, Honor —, will understand that the un
dersigned lias reference to the law passed by the Con
gress of Ihe United Slates, and sanctioned by the Ex
ecutive, for ihe Annexation of the Department of Tex
as to the Americap Union.
To present, in all its deformity, this sot of the Con
greve and Government of the United States, the alarm
ing conarqucncoa of its conduct totvarda tho Mexican
Republic, would bo a useless labor, inasmuch aa this
note is addressed to the reproaemative of analinn as
illustrious ns it ia powerful, which, susisining nobly tho
rank which it occupies in the world, respects the laws
of comity fbuena aiuiatad] bolween foreign nations,
and founds its glory upon tne immutable titles of mor
ality and justice. The Government of the undersigned
has no uccasion to exhibit all the grounds upon which it
relios for its resistance of this measure of Annexation
as they are obvious and known to all, and aa the feeling
excited among friendly nations, and even thoso which
have no official relations with Mexico, will be profound
upon learning of a measure so injurious and offensive
to Mexico, and so utterly unworthy tho honor [bacn
nombru] of thu United States.
But the undersigned will take occasion to observe to
his Excollcncy, Senor , that the American Govern
ment having been the first to acknowledge the indepen
dence of the Republic of Mexico, showing itself a
zealous partisan of liberty, has been the only one which
has endeavored to u-urp a portion of hor territory. Ho
would also add, that, as it appears from recent declara
tions, the designs of the United State* have been as
old as the friendship, which it was sought to maintain
—first, by a treaty of amity, and by another for tho ad
justment of boundaries—which has now been com
pletely violated. Iu aiding Texas to sever herself from
the Republic, tho United States were wanting in good
faith; but in aiding to incorporate Texas with the
American Confederation, and declaring that tins has
been her policy for twenty years, alio lias pursued a
course which has no parallel in the history of civilized
nations.
Mexico to avoid differences which for the most part
had no foundation injustice [aB against her] has sub
mitted tu serious compromises; she has overlooked
provocations and injuries, and has preserved her loyalty
with such fidelity as It give her more right—if the
right she possesses can be increased—to speak out and
protest, as the undersigned now does, against the An
nexation of Texas to the United Stales, and against
all its consequences. Tho Mexican Republic will em
ploy iu opposition to this measure, her power and her
resources, and, trusting in the justice of her cause,
does not fear to give assurance, that whatever may be
the result, she will preserve the honor which at any
cost she ought to defend in the very grave matter un
der consideration.
With Ibis view the undersignori requests his F.xcel-
Icncy, Senor to give this protest its proper dircc-
tion, and at the same time to accept Ills assurances of
his most distinguished consideration.

This circular was communicated to their Excellen
cies the Ministers Plenipotentiary of England, Spain
and France.
Apart from the above letter and circular, which we
have deemed ot sufficient interest lo give them entire,
our files contain little that has not been before known
here.
The Siglo giveB no credence lo the rumors of anoth
er revolution which have obtained currency in Mexico
as well as in this country. These reports it attributes
to the orders of Government despatching certain Mili
tary Chieftains to the Departments.
We have seen nothing new respecting Gen. Santa
Anna.
It docB not appear from tho tenor of the official com-
inunications what will be the nature of the resistance
Mexico will make to Annexation. Senor Cuevas’s let
ters are in a grandiloquent strain, but propose nothing
definito.

tu accumpnny her mother to the Hahbath School when but two
years ofuge.it may be truly «oid of her,lbat she waa cradled
in that nursery of piety. She became a regular acbolar al fftre
nnd an efficient, punctual tenchur nt fourteen. During child*
hood, her uncommon diteration, thoughtful attention and obe
dience, made her beloved by nil bnr acquaintance®, and an J;t*
valuable treasure tu herroothor. Amiable, intelligent, dHireu.*
nnd ftfudioui, nhe wan indeed a paltern of virtue and youthful
goodne*®. At the age of 13, she became a member of the M,
K. Church, and continued from that time until her death, an
hc live, consistent Christina^ foremost of her age io benevo
lent effort* of every kind, liberal and eyeteanntiela her contri
bution*, modest and kind In her demeanor, tender With the
frtoliiiKsol others, and circumspect in all her ooaduct. Al
though a favorite with her young friends, and of vary gay
" ldi8pn*ition,ehc wn» never lad

whole life. Hut her character shone brightest during her ill
ness, nnd nt the approach of death. Every oaa who had the
privilege of visiting and hearing her converse, testifies that it
Afforded one of the *trongesi possible proofs of tha truth of
the Gospel, nnd the sustaining power of the Christian's faith.
From the IxMCiniikig of Iter sickness, whieh lasted about
twelve days, she was patient and resigned; but when teld
there w.’is no hope, she expressed with perfect composure her
readiness to die, and was only anxious fbr her unconverted
friends, particularly her husband and brother. She partook
of dm communion dm day before she died, with her mother,
und a number of her Christian sisters around her; and had a
stranger called in at the time, hn would have supposed its
room of C irisiiaii rejoicing andjrriumphing only,unoccupied by
the victim of disease, and unshaded by the gloom of death.—
Oh ! wlml n scene was that! Those anxioita countenances,
worn by grieland night-watching, and that watting, almost
lifeless form, suddenly lighted up and filled with heavenly
emotions, giving glory to God, and welcoming the Saviour tu
take his sufferer home. She particularly requested that her
benevolent contributions should be continued after death, a*
they had been thro* her life. Religious conversation and sing
ing, being very grateful to her, were continued constantly for
mure than a day previous to her decease. Almost the last
thing she said, was to request her husband to repeat once more
his promise to devote himself to Christ. In two hoars after,
eho breathed her last, and stveetly fell aalnep in Jesus. Her
mind never failed, it descended to the amalleat things, with
ease and accuracy—even to taking care of the comfort of thoso
about her, the distributing among her friends her little articles
of private value, and calmly taking leave of all. Thus lived
nnd died a being of extraordinary charaoter, a lasting monu
ment of the truth of the Gospel of Christ. The writer would
ruther die tomorrow such a death, than to live for a century,
unconverted with the world at his command. Reader, mays!

LATEli FROM MEXICO.
We received yesterday, by the brig Guadalete, ad-
vit jes two days later front Vera Cruz, whence she sail
ed on the 4th inst. The first things which met our eye
up on a glance over our Mexican files, were the letter
oi Senor Cuevas to Mr. Shannon, and the circular ad-
dr* used to the Ministers of France, Spain and England,
of which we have heretofore made mention, and of
wl licit we now give translations;—
To His Excellency Wilson Shannon,
Epvoy Extraordinary, &c.
National Palace, Mexico, March 18,1845.
The undersigned, Minister of Foreign Relations, in
addressing himself, for the last time, to his Excellency.
Mr. Wilson Shannon, Minister Plenipotentiary from
tlse United States, desires to inform him, that as both
houses or the United States Congress have sanctioned
t he law in rela^n to the Annexation of Texas to the
,t erritory of tli/United States, and as tho Minister from
Mexico 'hat/willidrawn his mission at Washington,
a nd protested against the act of Congress and the Gov.
e rnment of tho United States, diplomatic relations be-
t weeu the two countries cannot be continued
f What can the undersigned add to what has already
been said by his Government upon the grave offence
< iffered Mexico by the United States, usurping a por
tion of Mexican territory, and violating the terms of
treaties of friendship, which the Republic of Mexico
I ias observed on her part as long as her honor and the
desire to avoid a rupture with tho United States have
I rermitted ? Nothing more than to lament that two na-
■ ions, Iree and republican contiguous (vecinos) and
worthy of a fraternal union, founded upon mutual in*

COTTON MARKETS.
Savannah, April 2G.
Tho market was very firm at tho close of our last report, nnd
so continued on Friday nnd Saturday, the salos of tho two
days amounting to about 2,300 at very full prices. On Sun
day evening accounts by the steamer Groat Western ul New
Vork,from Liverpool to tho 29th uIt. were received, showing
d decline in that market, in consequence of advices from this
country, ofincreascd estimates of the crop, and tho abolition
of the duty by tha British Government. The decline has
been variously estimated by parties here from 1 -16 to per
lb., though a comparison of the quotations by the previous
accounts with the duty paid, and tho present quotati ms with
out duty, show only n difference of l-16d. per lb. The Havre
market Ims also declined a shade, nnd wus very dull, with
suinll sales.
The effect of this news was a total suspension of all oper
ations on Monday aud Tuesday. On Wednesday, sellers
concluding to submit to a reduction from previous prices,
nbout 1,500 hales were sold at a decline of 1 a 1c. per lb. from
the extreme rates of last week. Yesterday this concession
became general, nnd 2,700 hales were sold. Wo have chang
ed our quotations to conform to the prices paid tho last two
dnvs nnd quote:
Inferior 4\a 4f
Middling sjj a 5$
Middling fair 5;j a 6
Fair and fully fair GJ a lijl
Good fuir. none.
Tho sales of the week amount to 6,620 hales, as follows: 11
at 4|:7at 5; 40Ht 5$; 85 at 5-20; 07 at 5J; 101 nt5 5-16, 216 ut

at GJ cts. per lb.
Augusta, April 23.
Since the receipt of the late foreign advices per Great
Western, which came to hand on the 20th inst.our innrkei Ims
been without animation, and a limited business only has been
done, ut a decline in prices of [a |c. from the rules of last
week. The inactivity may be in some measure attributed to
the indisposition of buyers to operate until the receipt of the
news by the steamer now due, bringing one week's luter intel
ligence. We quote extremes 4| u G cts, principal sules 5 a 5 J.
Duringthe latter part of tho week, our market
very much excited. Sules were very current at 5i| cents, and
several lots hadchanged hands ut o cents. But on Tuesday,
on the receipt of the news by tho Great Western, the aspect ol*
things was changed, nil operations were snsppnded, and up
to this time have continued so. The decline in this Market
will probably bo from $ a j cent,from the highest point.
The River continues very low, so us to he entirely unnavi-
gable. Freights by Kailroad35 cents per 100 pounds.
