Letter* from Mavauualu
Savannah, March 15, 1SAJ.
On meeting of th* Convention this rooming,
Hods. Alexander II. Stephen*, Thomas R. K.
Cobb, aud E. A. Nisbet appeared »n<l took their
Mat*.
Mr. Hilt of Troup, mo red to reconsider the
action of the Convention ol Wednesday last,
by whioh the first section of the Reduction Or
dinance, a* proposed by Mr Clark of Dongh-
criy, eras adopted. On this motion, a very
iulerrtiing and aole debate sprung up, in which
Mr. Hill, Mr. Xsnau, Mr. T. R. K. Cobb, Mr
Chastain and others participated. Mr. Hill
announced that, as the House of Representa
tives dow did not represent population, and as
the Senate under the new arrangement would
not, be should oppose the measure on its pas
sage, unless come plan he adopted so that one
branch of the General Assembly represent the
people and the other tho territory. Mr. Cobb
made the same announcement. Both were in
favor of Reduction, and especially wanted tho
Senate reduced. The plan of Mr. Clark, so fsr
as adopted, was agreeable to them, but they
desired an equitable plan, by which the popu
lation of the State would be fairly represented
in the House. The Convention, ly a vote of
113 to 121, refused to reconsider. It is now ev
ident that there will be as much contrariety of
opinion about arranging the State into Senato
rial districts of three counties each, as is possi
ble for the same number of men to entertain
oti any subject. This will probably defeat the
measure; and If there were timo to consider
the question, it is almost certain that this Con
vention would not agree upon any plan fir the
retirraugomeut < f the Home in three months.
From tho announcements made by leading
members this morning, the plau for the Senate,
already agreed upon,cannot finally pass unless
the House can ho % t.efuct>ri!y arranged. The
subject was passed over. Tin* consideration of
the new Constitution is set apart for ton o’eock
to morrow. No doubt it will ho ratified before
oigUt.
Communications from our Stale Commission
ers to North Carolina, Maryland, and Louisi
ana, giviDg an account of their missions, were
read.
Dr. Logan cf your eour.ty, suhrniltad the fol
lowing resolution, wl»i> h was unanimously
adopted:
Resolved, Tbut the "Committee on the Con
stitution uud laws" be instructed to inquire
into tho propriety of reporting an Ordinance
to this Convention, consenting t> the location
of the permanent Capital of the Confederate
States ot America within tho Stale of Georgiu,
and granting limited jurisdiction over such
territory as may be necessary for that pur
pose.”
If Maryland and Virginia do r.ot secede,
Georgia cau have the Capital located in her
limits by the asking. This, 1 beiiovo, is conce
ded by those whote opinions arc worth most.—
If we do have tho Capital, Atlacti is the. fa
vorite spot of rlin<>st every ono.
I find that merchants in the interior have
some trouble about getting their goods through
the Curtxu II mao here. They seem to suppose
that because all goods shipped from Northern
ports prior to this day, which were purchased
before the 2Sth of last month, come in duty
free, there are no formalities required to pass
them, only evidence of having been purchased
and shipped at the proper timo. In every case,
invoices showing the cost, and date of purohasc,
and bills of lading showing the date < f ship
ment and number of packages, is required.
Orders to tho North f»r foreign goods, will
now cease to be made. We cannot afford to
pay for goods that have come from Europe and
ure taxed with two tariffs. As it will require
some time to get Direct Importation udder way,
it ia fair to presume that not many goods will
ho imported before n<xt fall, uud that our
receipts ot customs on imports will be small
for six or eight months. Extensive arrange
ments ore being made, however, to get Direct
Trade with the Old World under way, which
aro sure to succeed and work well. 8.

The Permanent Constitution of the Confed
erate States of America wns adopted to-day by
a unanimous vote. I doubt whether a more
harmonious body of any considerable size, has
ever convened. All honor to the true patriot
ism by which tho Convention of 18(11 has been
to eminently distinguished.
It was supposed that probably ait adjourn
ment would probably have taken place to day,
but tho Reduction of the Legislature has not
yet been completed, und there are several oth
er matters of importance to bo considered. Tho
pressing necessity of a revision of the Consti
tulion of the State was so strongly urged by
tho ablest men of the Convention, that it was
decided to instruct the Committee on the Con
stitution and Laws to take the work in hand
and report such alterations ns, in their judg
ment, were necessary. This will prolong the
session some days, and a final adjournment
will not probabfy be obtained the 2-'id instant.
The report from Charleston h not so favora
ble to day. It is not yet considered here abso
lutely certain that Fort Sumter will be evacu
ated. P.

The "Washington Stales" of tho 14th iu-
stuntsay-; A distinguished geutieuian from
South Carolina, at present in the city, was yes
terday assured, by Lieutenant-General Scott,
that tho troops would bo withdrawn from Fort
Bumter, and that the views touching that lo
cally expressed in the “Slates'’ were well
founded.
This action will tako place on the recom
mendation of a hoard of army officers.

It will be seen by the following letter that Col.
Henry K. Jackson luis resigned the office of Mu
Jor-General of the First Division of Georgia
Volunteers, in favor of that distinguished sol
dier. Col. Wm. If. T. Walker. The letter speaks
for Itself, nud Is highly honorable to Col. Jack-
sou's head and heart:
Savannah, March 14, 1801.
His Excellency Gov. Drown :
My Dear Sir—When, some days ago, 1 ac
cepted the posiiion of Major General of ihe 1st
Division of Georgia Volunieers, which you did
me (he high honor to teuder to me, the name
of Gen. W. II. T. Walker was not in the mind
of either of us disconnected from the regular
service. It is needless to any that be is, in
many respects the most marked military man
in Georgia. Educated at West Point, ami for
twenty years a soldier by profession, the world
aid recognize the fact that, in the nature of
thiDgs, be must be far more competent than I
to organizo and prepare for the field a large
body of troops, in addition to this he is dis
tinguished above nil men by the scars lie hears
upon his person, in proud appreciation of
which his State, years ago, presented him the
sword which he now so proudly wears.
1 feel profoundly that 1 cannot continue to
hold a position which legitimately belongs to
another.
I am aware, however, that the same gener
osity which led Gen. Walker to accept a place,
which he knew to be subordinate to mine, will
induce him to insist upon my not relinquish
ing the latter in his behalf. 1 beg, therefore,
to say in advance, that should he decline it,
.'0 will I.
To yourself allow me te return you my sin
ere acknowledgements for the honor confered
upon mo. Very respectfully,
Votir ob’t servant.

The Grant Factory*
This is one of the several Cotton and Woolen
Manufactories in and near Columbus. It is
situated within the corporate limits of the city
immediately ou the Chattahoochee river, and
was established about the year 1S44, and orig
inally kuowo hs the “ Coweta Manufacturing
Company.” The proprietors now are Messrs.
Daniel and John J. Grant, of this city.
The capital stock amounts to $60,000. The
disbursements per annum are as fol’ows: For
labor, $12,000 ; sundry expenses, $5,000; for
Gotten, $40,000 ; tor wool $10,000; making, in
all, $05,000, ^Le Company manufacture, per
annum, 800 bales of Osuahurga, 480,000 yards;
a00 bales of yarn, 78,000 pounds: 200 hales of
kerseys, 80,000 pounds; and 6,000 pounds of
rope, thread, Ac., Ac. The total value of the
productions amounts to $31,000, from which
taking the disbursements, $05,000, leaves $16,-
000,
The Company give employment to about 80
hands, male and lemsl*, the preference to the
latter, for the excellent reason that it is much
easier for males to shift for themselves; while
by giving the preference in employment to fe
males, tnaoy indigent widows and families are,
we may say, rescued from absolute starvation.
The operatives appear to be coutenUd and
are paid according to their competency to earn
wages. Borne can manage only one loom'
while others can easily manage from three to
four. Many poor families, composed entirely
of females, and dependent upon thsir manual
labor, are thu9 secured adequate means for their
support, and with proper economy, may grad
ually accumulate a competency.
The factory is located at the bead of the Ca
nal for bringing into requisition the water pow
er to the city Factories, and has superior ad
vantages on account of it. The articles man*
ufactured nre Kerseys and plain white Osna
burgs exclusively ( but we learn that the Com
pany intend, in Discourse of a few weeks, to
commence the manufacture of 8trif»ee, being
already engaged in the necessary preparation*.
This improvement was demanded by the In
crease of their business and tho growing de
mand for that description of goods.
During our visit, we observed that the gen
tlemanly and efficient Clerk and book keepsr,
Mr. O'Keefe, was filling a large order forOsna-
burgs for au extensive mercantile establish
ment in 8(*lma, Ala. We are glad to learn that
the success of the establishment warrants an
enlargement of its buaiuess, and take it as in
earnest of the continued prosperity which is

erature.

rotary of th* U. 8. Treasury and th* Provident
of tb* Coo federate Congrt**, 1* u g*otlo-
. mao of acknowledged latent tad tb* author of
■ a thoughtful book on Afrio** *1**017, bul lb is
it Mr. Cobb’s debut in nation*! legislation,
I and notwithstanding bis talents b* Is not alto-
, g*th*r exempt from lh* fault* of dahutanl leg
1 islet ort—excessive zeal in originating me.s
, urea and lack of experience iu th* application
1 of theories to facts. Witness the following,
exlrao>ed from the proceeding* of tbe Congress
; on the 7th Inst. :
Mr. T. R. R. Cobb, of G*., offered the fol-
{ lowing resolution in relation to io(*roaiionsl
copy rights, which was adopted :
VYhkheas, Great Britain, Franc*. Prussia,
j Saxony and other European poweis have pas
j sed laws to secure to authors of oth*r States
' the benefits and privileges of their copy right
laws, upon condition of similar privileges be
| ing granted by the laws of such State* to au
! tbors, tbe subject of the powers aforesaid—
I therefore,
Jit {t resolved by the Congress of ihe Confeder
ate States, That tho President be and be is
hereby authorized to instruct the Commission
ers appointed by him to visit the European
powers, to enter into treaty obligations for
the extension of international copy-right priv
ileges to all authors, the cilixeus and subjects
of the powers aforesaid.
The resolution wns adopted Such resolu
tions always are, when introduced by n man
of good standing among bis colleagues and
who is supposed to have paid attention to the
subject. Few care lo raise objections against
a thing in which, if they cannot discover any
positive good, they cannot immediately dlscov
er any positive harm. A geutlemau of Mr.
Cobb’s literary reputation was just the man
to have stioh a resolution passe 1 without de
bate or distent. A warm friend to Southern
Literature he no doubt is, and Le is probably
thoroughly familiar with the whole theory of
international copy-rights and all the abstract
reasoning in favtr of that theory, but he sure
ly cannot have contemplated ihe practical
effect of the application of that theory to our
case.
If, instead of Colton, our chief exports, like
those of Ancient Attica, were statues and
books, Mr. Cobb’s resolution would be of trans
parent propriety and usefulness. But our ex
ports being Cotton aud not books and statues,
it is somewhat difficult to discover tbe advan
(ages of international copy right trvaiies wuh
foreign nations The disadvantages, however,
are manifold and glaring.
Evety one knows that in Europe, and espe
cially in Englnud whose literature is tbe most
important to us, books, for a variety of rea
sons. are much costlier tbau with us, and that
we habitually buy Ihe intellectual productions
of European authors at one third or one fourth
of the cost at which they stand to tbe country
men of these authors. We can procure a good
readable edition of tbe British Essayists, for
instance, for $11 or 5*12, which (somewhat
handsomer gotten up, it is true,) would cost
an Englishman at home so many guineas. We
have four of the best British Review* mud tbe
best of the British monthlies for $10 per an
num, leas tbuu the English subscription price
of any one of these periodicals. Mr. Cobh’s
proposition is, in effect, that we should pro
teot European authors and putdiehers in their
rights and their prices provided that our an
thors und publishers be situiUrh protected in
theirs. As well propose that \ e should pro
tect the wines of Fraucc. provided Louis Na
poleon protcots our Catawba* and Isabellas.
Frankly speaking, we have as yet no litera
ture affording us a fair ba«U for exciiango
with foreign countries. Our na'ionmlity is of
yesterday ; tho ideas upon which it rests yet
iu their infancy ; some of the Btates of this
Confederacy are not older that) the average of
their ifibabitants; book unking is as yet a
holiday pastime, and book publishing an un
tried experiment. Is this »* confession of
weakness? By no means. No more than
saying that a young child cannot wrestle with
a strong man. or that ibis idsss and opinions
of the most promising college boy ate not the
matured intellectual fruit* of the same bey
twenty year* older. The wild flower* of gen
ius we have in profusion, the garden products
of time and art we hnve not and cannot have.
Our Governmental and administrative genius
as a people proves that in medal gifts we are
more than the equal of any nation on God's
earth, but to do in on* hour what others need
ed centuries to do, is a gift that is out bestow
ed on us. An scorn will not grow into ad
oak in a day.
No man has higher hopes or a deeper love
for a Southern literature than we, aud it is its
blighting effect on that, oauses us so earn
estly to oppose Mr. Cobb's resolutions while
it is yet time. Let us freely avail ourselves of
the science and the thought of other nations,
especially those whom Providence has made the
depositories of (he noble acquisitions of our
race. Our thought will be the more profound
thereby, our knowledge tbe more accurate —
Let us buy their books cheap and make them
accessible lo the mats of the people; our
standard of taste will he raised thereby. Let
our publishers republish these books at no oth
er cost but tbe paper and ink and the labor;
the better oble they will be thereby to offer
suitable compensation to native talent. Lei
our magazines and newspapers, without fear
of international copyright, enrich themselves
with the literary gems of every mine; the
more active will be the emulation of home
contributors to equal those models.
Oris there any fear that our authors may
suffer by tbe faneied injury we should do lo
foreign authors in using their labors ? In the
nature of things it must be many, many years
before we can expect to contribute to the lit
erature of the civiUed world as much as we
receive. Europe is the cradle of our race
aud the appointed custodian of our share of
the common heritage of tbat race. In its
dense populations, its ama*sed wealth, its
great capitals, Its immense accumulations of
literary and artistic treasures, U has so many
focuses in which the scattered rays of human
thought concentrate into a vivifying flame.—
It is comparatively easy to be a composer,
wlter* one can nightly hear th* best music of
all ages—easy to be a man of science where
one has every appliance and tbe concurrent
•xperiaaeate of distinguished associate at
command—easy (0 be an artlei with all tbe
modele constantly before one’s eye*—easy to
be* historian with the key to tbe most recon
dite annuals in your hand and the dally inter,
course of men similarly engaged to encourage
and asaist. In all these treasures we have a
shar*; we are a swarm of tbe same hive; we
have an inherited right to them es members of
the Caucasian race. L*t u* not, then, inter
pose artificial barriers to our intellect uei.in-
tercours* with the civilized world, but let us
rather promote aud facilitate that intercourse
to quiekeo, cultivate, chasten the native talent
and genius which are not the offfprlog of net
and time, and with which Heaven ban abnf*
dently blessed oar people.

Affairs In Houdtiras.
Through our New York rxehange* we have
later intelligence from Belize, Honduras. The
Bay Islands have not been taken possession of
by Uonduraa, tbe government appearing to
think that they will be more trouble than profit.
Tbe troubles between the government and
clergy of Honduras have been rapidly taking
a dangerous form in that country. Tne viesi
general of the Metropolitan diocese excomrnu
uicated the President and members of bis gov
ernment for introducing heresy through the
treaty of cession of the Bay Islands, which
guarantees liberty of conscience to all u«*n-
Catholics. The President has retaliated by
stripping the vicar of his functions and ban
ishing him from the country for endeavoring
to excite rebellion. It was feared that tbe
trouble with tho clergy inay bring about a rev-
olution. From tho Herald’s c >rresnnndenre
wo extract tbe following:
Tbe Bay Islands are not yet given up t<» Hon
duras, nor is there much likelihood that they
will be, as Guardiola and bis friends think they
will bo more plague than profit to the State; so
they are content to let them alone. Mr. Mo
rin, tho magistrate of the Iljy Islands, is here.
He has been ill, but is now better, and has
brought his family hero in order to send them
home for their health, lie has received the
appointment of public treosurer at Belize, and
will enter on his dutieB as soon as the Bey Is
lands are taken over by tbe Slate of Hondu
ras, or when his successor arrives, should the
colony of the Bay Islsrds be rejected bv the
state of Honduras.
The troubles between the Government and
clergy of Honduras grew out of tho provisions
of the treaty of cession of the Bay Islands, by
which non-Catholic* are permitted lo worship
according to their individual notions and pleas
ure On the death of Bishop Flores, which oc
curred about the time of the cession, the Vicar
Capitular of the Metropolitan diocese, Don
Miguel del Cid, actuated by hia apostolic zeal
and hatred of the heresy, published a decree
of excommunication against President Guar
diola and all his aiders and abetters, for tbe
alleged reasons that tbe death of the Bishop
and the free introduction of heresy were the
work of the Government.
The decree of excommunication was posted
all over the capital and distributed throughout
tbe republic, causing profound sensation in the
minds of the people, calculated to produce the
worst results to the peace of the country and
the perpetuity of the government. President
Guardiola, therefore, felt himself called upon
to issue a decree depriving the Vicar of his
functions, banishing him from Honduras, and
ordering the destruction of his publications.
Guardiola is still in great dread of filibus
ters, and continues to watch all eiticens of the
United States who come into the 8tate. He
hopes the secession movement will succeed,
and expects if it docs to see the United State* in
the same situation •• the Central American
statea are now.
An American citizen, named Duty, formerly
from Missouri, an atubroiype artist, was lately
murdered on hi* raturn from lbe capital of
Honduras. He had about $2,000 in cash with
him.
Trade eontinuea dull. In fact, since Walker
toook Truxillo, Belize hes had little or no trade
with the interior: and, what is much worse,
the debts due from the interior then are due
now, and 1 fear will always remeia due.
The same apology is now made by the peo
ple of Ruatan. No trade, no cash, and we
can't pay, say they. Walker is th* excuse of
th* poor and of tbe knaves, and th* latter are
ten te one of the former: bat 00 got* th* world.

NOTICE TO MERCHANTS.
T HE South Carolina Railroad Company hav
ing determined to discontinue this Depart
ment of their fervice, the undersigned, who
has been the Forwarding Agent of the Compa
ny for the last four years, has associated with
him the Chief Clerk in the Department, and,
under the name of Ganit A Stoney, will contin
ue to receive and for warn such artiolrs os may
be consigned to his cars. He trusts, by striet
personal attention, to retain a very liberal share
of the business of the Department.
Parties are reminded that all goods reaching
this point from points beyond tbe Confederate
States of America, must be entered at the Cus
tom House; and tbat duties sre payable on
such as were Dot purchased on or before the
28th ot February last, and laden on ship board
on or before the 15tkof March instant, save such
as are on tbe Free Lists.
It is, therefore, necessary that remittances
be made to pay tbe duties, where duties are
payable, and. »n alt cases, to cover the expense of
Custom House entry, whether the goods are free
or not. Prompt compliance will prevent delay
aud expense, as all articles not entered and
permitted will be stored by the Custom House
officers.
The South Carolina Railroad Company will
advance, as heretofore, the charges of Freight,
Drayage and Wharfage; but not the expenses
connected with the Custom House.
Rates of charging for forwarding will be very
moderate, and may be had on application to
Gantt A Stoney, to whom all business commu
nications should bo addressed.
The undersigned refers to tbe officers of the
