And, if wo only expected from 010 «t clear field, and a fair fight,” we might, with, ertaay preliminariea, without conaultation, leave the 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. few constitutions i marked, ‘a man must work Ilka adray-h 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. m Mr ‘ trm paid like it pauper.' Nor l« soonest at (ho Mar ear*, 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. [non Tint savannah bwoslican.i 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. HABERSHAN.

The foolish pride and short-sighted vanity of parents, in this regard, are laying, if they have not laid, the foundation of an extensive national evil.

This foolish pride and short-sighted vanity of parents constitute a huge Highly Important front Mexico t 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.

In f bit way, wa beat pravt intercut for ibe lirinf, and affection for tha early dead. Th« a life of Mr*. Coopwr, eren from infancy, la ttrikmc* Taught 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 customary i counsel* of (jod.ahc maintained her integrity of purpose through 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! thou. Columbus, Geo. April 21st. 1845.

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 ?

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.

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.
