The virtues of the Indian Spring waters have been bo long k own, and so generally tested, that I presume it is not necesssry here to say any thing in their praise. The Proprietor of this Hotel has only to add that in addition to these requisites of the Indian Spring as a summer residence, that he has, since the last season, largely added to the Indian Spring Hotel, by extending bis Dining Room so as to make it equal to any thing of the kind south wardly, and he has also added many fine rooms for families, as well as for persons without families.

Adieu to thee, my childhood’s home I’ve left thee, ne’er to dwell Again within those humble walls That I have loved so well. And strange is doth possess thee now ; With careless eyes they gaze Upon the scenes where 1 have passed My childhood’s blissful days. Dear to this heart is each old tree— Oft, ofi beneath their shade I’ve eat with those I deemed my friends— Some lowly now are laid ; Some roam in distant lands, and some From me are now estranged ; Ho v sa l to look on forms once dear, And know their hearts are changed I But thus it is with all earth’s joys— All, all is changing here; Hearts which at morn may wear a smile, Ere noon may wear a tear. Before I left thy roof for aye, 1 knelt me down and prayed To God to guide my footsteps Where e'er on earth I straye I. And Oh! I trust be heard me then, That he iny li<e may bless, And be a father untome — The lone —the fatherless. Columbia Co., June 5, 1851. Virginia. THE LAMB IS THE LIGHT THEREOF. REV. XXL 23. BY THE BEV. H . BON A R . Tnat clime is not like this dull clime of ours, All, oil is brightness there ; A sweeter influence breathes around its flowers, And a fai milder air. No calm below is like that calm above, No region here s like that realm of love ; Earth’s softest spring ne’er shed so soft a light, Earth’s brightest summer never shone so bright. That sky is not like this sad sky of ours, Tinged with earth’s change and care; No shadow uime it, and no rain-cloud lowers — No broken sunshine there. One everlastin? stretch of azure peurs Its stainless splendor o’er those s’niees shores ; For there Jehovah shines with heavenly ray, There Jesus reigns dispensing endless day. Th® dwellers there are not like these of earth, No mortal stain they bear ; And yet they seem of kindred bl?od and birth— Whence, and how came they there? Earth was their native soil; from sin and shame, Through tribulation, they to glory came; Bondslaves • elivered from sin’s crushing load, Brenda ; luck'd from burning by the hand of God. Those robes of theirs are not like these below— No angel’a half su bright! Whence came that beauty, whence that living glow ; Whence came that radiance white? Wash’d in the blood cf the atoning Lamb, Pair as th® light those robes of theirs became ; And now, all tears wiped off from ev’ry eye, They wander where the freshest pastures lie; Tarougb alt the nightless day of that unfading sky.

Four kinds of Iron rail are used on the road; thus: Prom Atlanta to Casy’s water station, a plate or fl t bar 5 miles From Casy s to a short distance beyond the Chattahoochee river, a bridge or U rail 5 miles From that point to Ackworth, a plate or flit bar 24 mile? From Ackworth to Kingston, the bridge or U rail 25 miles Frcivi Kingston toColb?jn, rt plnte rail* • ■ *2l roiloj From Calhoun to Dilton, a fling® rail of 40 tons pel mile 20 miles From Dalton to Chattanooga, a flange rail of 50 tons per mile 38 miles This statement exhibits the fact that fifty miles of the Stale road is laid with a plate or flit bar rail. Itshould be borne in mind that this rail rias been in use since the commencement of business on he road, say 1845. It is much worn—broken in many places and would be very dangerous, buts >r the numerous repair ing parties, distributed along this distance en gaged actively in patching where needed It appears to us that every par ide of the flat bar should ba removed at the earliest practica ble moment. It has become exceedingly ei pensive to keep in a condition so as to answer the necessities of the hour, as will be evinced by reference to the books of the Superinten dent of transportation. It is evident that it cannot be made to answer the anticipated freights of the next fill and winter. We are gratified to learn from Mr. Mitchell that under an Execulive order, he had p ircha sedzif Messrs. Padelford & Fav of Savannah, 1005 tons of a good T rail and which was daily expected, sufficient to displace at once twelve miles of the flat bar. With a view to provide for the r maining thirty eight miles of flat bar, Mr. Mitchell had bee.) in correspon dence with Messrs. Pad!eford<fc Fay as agents of a London house, which correspondence was submitted for on- cunsiderat on and coun* sei. Whilst we disclaim the possession of any authority or power over the subject, and are entirely sensib'e that we hive not been clothed with any advisory authority upon which the Chief Engineer might safely proceed to con tract for Iron, we did not hesitate to say to that functionary, that it was a responsibility whicn he should promptly assume, and that we did not doubt tha. the people and their representatives would commend the course which would so materially contribute to pla cing their road in a condition to do the busi ness pressing on it. We cannot permit our selves to question the readiness of the Legisla ture in hastening to make ample provision for the faithful fulfilment of coMtrac's mada by public agetits when thoss are manifestly large ly conducive to the public security and ben jfit. Nor are we disposed to think from any con siderations, will the Leg slature attempt to find in the eiidbi ion of zeal, energy and inte li cence in this regard, ground for censure, but on the contrary with ail liberal minded men we should hope forth ir distinct and unquali fied commend tuon. OF THE BUPERVTRUCTURE AND BIUEGES. The superstructure of the road to the tunnel is in proccssof an early and thorough renew, al. The Bridges were most carefii’ly examined, and it gives us pleasure to say, that they have 6een made stronger and more secure than when first erected under the supervision of Col. Long, in this remark we do not include the old bridge over the Chattahoochee, as that is so shortly to be superseded by the very supe rior bridge nearly completed by contractor Mr. Denmead- The apprehensions which we know were entertained and freely expressed during the last year as to the Bridges and superstructure, have been discovered by us, on examination, now to be unfounded. ur th*: The road is miserably equipped. We feel ' humiliated, as Georgians who have stood in this enterprise in its infancy and through all the trials bnd opposition it has encountered, to be t compelled to say, that it never has received from the State ‘‘a decent suit of clothing ” I’ has been left to sustain itself by every shift and expedient which those who supervised it, could devise; begging borrowing and making ruin ous contracts with other railroad compands in consequence of its poverty and depen dence, until at length it is about being refused the hire and use of the box and other cars of the company to which so much has been paid and so much is still due. Can it be that this state of things will be permitted by the Legisla ture to continue ? It never could have existed for a moment, had the Legislature originally equipped the road. We feel constrained to present the great deficiency which has hitherto enisled and now exists, that it may receive the considera’ion to which such a fact is entitled. Belonging to the road at this time are thir teen Locomotives of which seven have been purchased since April, 1848,—and which may be esteemed good: 4 Passenger Cars, 2 Baggage Cars, 4 Box Cars, and 6 Platform Cars. The road needs at this time additionally : 10 Pa c senger Cars, 200 Box (Jars, 100 Pat form Cars, < 4 Baggage Cars, and < 15 Locomotives. In the absence of Legislative provision for a moderate equipment, as above suggested, . with a view in some degree, to render the ’ State Road less dependent than it is. and has ever been, at leas’, until a Legislature shall assemble, we have advised Mr. Mitchell to negotiate at once, if practicable, with the seve ral Rail Road Companies connected with the Slate Road, the purchase from them of fifty box and platform cars. To obviate the dirticulty frequently arising with the companies wh *se roads connect with the Sts’e Road, ot fixing with entire certain- < ty, which should be responsible for loss of produce, or damage to freights, we would recommend that you invite the Legislature, having fully equipped the State Road, to pro hibit the running of any cars whatever on that road except those owned by the State. A subject demanding legislation is the fact which wo have learned with reference to a prohibition which exis s on the Rome Branch Railroad, of he Cars of the Macon and West ern Railroad, not being permitted to go up to Rome f r freights, whilst the cars of the Georgia Railroad may. As a general prin ciple, we would abstain from interference with the conduct of a private company, leaving it to regulate its business in its own way ; but there is an obvious propriety of interference on the part of the State here, to prevent the perversion of her road from the great design of its founders At Atlanta, it was expected and designed that competition shoti'd begin; at that poin . fre'ghts be distributed among roads connecting there. Perfect equall y was intended to be dispensed, and no preference of the one over (he other, to be given, through the instrumentality of the Sia e Road. Tha prohibition referred *o, has this effect pre i«e ly—that to tbs extent of the expense of Iran snipmsnt of produce and freights at Kingston, from the Rome Railroad cars to the Macon and W. R. R. cars and the delay attending it—a bounty to tho«r forwarding over the Georgia Railroad, is g.ven and small as it may be, serves to gi»e a direction to h very large ami valuable trade, which otherwise mig it be divided between the gmit markets of the State If me Legislature should equip the Stale Road, and prohibit the running of other cars on it exc-pt ’hose of the State—no otner corrective will be wanting. Depots, larje, substantia! and secure, are wanted at several ooiits- indeed, we thins they should be pn vided at every important point along the road A machine shop with capacity f r .very pur pose ot the road, shuu'd be erected at or near Kingston or Adairsville, so as to enable Loco motives requiring repair, to be put in order, with out traversing the whole length of the road. It occurs to us, that upon the completion of the Milledgeville & Gordon R. Road, the Peni tentiary might readily, and most profitably to the Slate, be converted into a shop for the man ufacture of cars for the use of the State Road only. The employment of convict labor in this form will prove more profitable to the State, and be less '..able to the objections which are con stantly andspeciously made, to bringing such la bor into competition with other mechanic labor. Tne condition of the finances ot the road, up to the first day oi October, ISSO, having been presented to your excellency, and published, our examination was limited to lhe operation of the road tor the last seven months; and as the expenses of the maintenance of way, and of transportation, could not be precisely arrived at by us, until the adjustment of some accounts, n..w under examination by Mr. Mitchell, we re train from the presentation oi any statement connected with thtsdepsrtment of our service,ex cept that of the gross receipts of the read du ring the seven months counting troin Ist Octo ber last. Reviewing the whole subject, with all the lights which have been thrown ipon it in the fol', and free intercourse we have had with En gineers ot other roads, and with gentlemen of intelligence familiar with the wants of the State Road—we are persuaded that a sum less ttiau five hundred thousand dollars will be inadequate to placing it in a condldon to meet the accumu lated and rapidly increasing freights, which await the action of the Legtsiatnre. We doubt not that the expenditure of a million of dollars, ' so as to relay the entire roaii wjiihu rail ot from 85 to 90 tons to the mile, and tfce substitution of a much heavier class of I;bca,notives, will be found in the end to be the wis??and better policy. In thus recommending the’ tn-jrough renewal and equipment of Iter great road, we cannot for a moment indulge the Idea that Georgia will be insane enough to disappoint her own high desti ny, by allowing this work front any oftha con siderations which we hive seen stated, to pass into other hands. Now, wh ßi nearly all our troubles and difficulties arising f-om this source, have ended; when the St itedebt springing from it has ceased to press heavily and to give annoy ance ; when the friends of the road who did battle originally, and those who continued to battle since in its behalf, are re«ising in their tents, thinking that no further exertion was necessary on their part to sustain a policy which they had labored so long, so zorsously, and as we think, so wisely, to establish,, we are pained to find that the question of thcSlle of the road, at the moment of the full frult&n of the rich, varied, and illimitable returns is>ich the State is on the eve of receiving, hasibeen agitated, i and enforced with every argumeur, which the experience and mental resources, could supply, I of gentlemen distinguished for teputation and unquestionable patriotism. We beg leave to difier with them entirely as to what is the true policy of ths State ol Georgia. \ In this connexion we lament, as the sincere friends of Education, to find some more dis tinguished by zeal in i-s cause, than wfr claim to possess, are desirous of the sale of the State road with a view to found with ffe proceeds a scheme of general education. A 4<le purpose indeed, and worthy of the of the Philanthropist and Statesman I But what pros pect can there be of the s, plication of the pro ceeds of such sale to this beneficepl purpose 1 A brief reflection must dissipate euch hopes. It should be rememberetUhat upon the road are existing liene to a verw-considerable amount which must be first public faith is pledged to suejr,. ,d e ht oi near two mltlious in of,the buildin'' of the road exists, in addition to these liens. Can any one, after the statement of these facts, seriously believe that the people will tole rate the appropriation of the proceeds of the sale of the road,any part thereof, to an Edu cation scheme, until that debt and liens are paid, say $2,500,000? Will the road sell for more? We question it. We may safely predict that no Legislature will venture to found with the pro ceeds of the sale of the State Road, an Educa tion scheme, which leaves the State debt to be paid through all time to come, by an annual, never-ending, never-diminishing taxation.— Why then, should the friends of Education fa vor a sale of the road—since it must be evident to every man who will allow himself to be direct ed by his common sense—that not a dollar of the proceeds will, in any reasonable probability, be applied as they would desire ? file true policy of every friend of Education, is to stimulate the Representatives of ths peo ple, to the wise expenditure of the amount in dicated by us, on the road, that its capacity for profit, its ability to maintain itself thereafter ; and ability to repay a'l tne money which has been exoended on it, may be as it will be, fully demonstrated. Let the future net proceeds of tho road, alter the payment of the entire State debt, be set apart as sacred to the cause ol Gen eral education ; and we doubt not that the time is rapidly approaching when they will be found to be ample. A sale of the road is not only de sired—but by some, it is insisted that the sale should be made to the two great companies—the Georgia R. R. Company, and the Central R. R. Company, or rather to a new Company, to be composed ot Stockholders of both. Whilst we have never belonged to that class of politicians, whose apprehensions of monop oly arealike excited, and equally, by the incor poration of a burying ground—or a bank—we must be permitted to say, that we view with se rious alarm the project of a sale to these Com panies, of the State Road. From the instant of the consummation of such an idea, will the star of Georgia pale in the constellation of the States. Her legislation will be no longer free ; it can be, and who doubts, if it can, that it will not be dictated, by two overpowering and weal thy monopolies, acting in unison, aa their inter est' will then have become identical. Separate ly, the influence of each of those Companies is . nou> felt in the halls of legislation. L'niled, their power for any will be irres. stable. It is the dictate of prudence to preserve tha relations ot honorable rivalry now existing—certainly not , to invite, tobring about, such a union between them, as that proposed—a union which wou'd pl ice the interests of Georgia at their mercy. It I will be no answer to this view of the question. < to reply, that in the contract of sale, restrictions can, and will be imposed by the Legislature, for the protection of the people. So they can—and a subsequent Legislature nominated and elected by the power and influence of these companies, cin annul or re’ease those restrictions, and where then will be the boasted protection of the three great classes of the people, the agricultural, com mercial and manufacturing ? In making these remarks, we would, by no means, be understood as imputing a design on the part of these Com- 1 parties, to possess themselves of the State Road, at the supposed sum of $2,500,000—a large sacrifice upon its cost—or of any wish or purpose to control the legislation of the State. We simply state with ireedom, our views, and , run out the consequences which appear to us, will necessarily flow from the act deprecated, no matter by whom the companies may be man aged. Under the control of their present very distinguished heads, we should fee! less appre hension, than perhans under the management of any two other eininonl piiizetis of Georgia ; tiemen ot meir probATy u.t.i-u.uvi, willal ways be at the head oiKMr v mnpanies ? A reason assigned tor the ssl-e of the road is, that it has been, and ever wilf.be used as a party engine in our State elections. This, perhaps, is The strongest reason which has been, or can be presented in support of such policy. We t?ink that it requires no very great skill to de vise a system of control, by which this great en terprise can be withdrawn almost entirely from the vortex of party. Why may not its agents and employees be placed in an independent po sition in reference to the Executive Department, and to uusure capacity and probity, why may not such a term be given to their offices, as to allay the fever for place —often created by the frequen cy of change? If this may be do"e, and we do not doubt it, much, if not the whole strength of the argument, will be thereby destroyed. The magnitude of the interests of Georgia—present and prospective—would seem to require that a hearty effort should be made by our public men to re-organize the system —and in all its details to demand of, and fix responsibility upon its agents: and until this shall have been attempted, and failure has been the result, we cannot think the idea that a State cannot manage as well as a private corporation, her interests, should receive an assent from any intelligent man. Herewith, we present a tabular statement of the receipts of the road. The increase annually, and as the road was extended, demonst'ates the truth of the proposition, that if Geor ia will do her full duty, and that without a blind parsi mony, she will receive in a few vears, a large revenue with which she can easily provide for the payment at an early period, of her public debt, and for other imports at purposes. Under a liberal and proper policy y we venture to assert, that she will, in five years, be in the receipt of a nett income from the road—of not less than half a million of dollars annually. That such an anticipation is not extravagant, let us refer to the sources of supply, al! of which are con nected intimately with the business of the State Road : Rairoads, Miles. Georgia R.

East Tennes see, into Virginia, to Lynchburgh, a point east of the Alleghany mountains—this latter ex tension, rendering the State of Kentucky and Virginia, and a portion of North Carolina, tribu tary to our road. In fact, through the instru mentality of some of the roads in progress be yond our limits, the Cumberland, Tennessee, Ohio and Mississip-i rivers yniut necessarily furnish pass ngers and freighta. Nor should we omit the important fact, that throughout the greater part of the entire length of the road , 138 miles,] we have a dense, active, industrious and thriving population, the products of whose laoor are tobe borne to market over this road,and its return freights. Already new subjects of labor are springing up by its wayside, and furnishing large and proi itaole employment to the road. Articles of transpiration, nut contemplated when the State road was projected, now demand from their quantity and value, our attention ; as for exam ple, 'a’n-batk, large quantities of which are being prepared lor shipment to Erance; feathers from East Tennessee, by the hun dreds of thousand pounds; coal, sandstone, cedar and other woods used in various manufactures; and last, though not least, cotton. Ytß; the valleys of Cherokee are now competing in the production of the great staple, with Southwestern Georgia. A paper of this description will not admit cf a full survey of the ULimitabU jUids, in which a great internal commerce is struggling to find an outlet; 'hat autlet is tfirough cur mountain gate*.. Tne subject admits on y of a faint illustration by maps delineating the streams of trade and intercourse which have gushed forth as almost under Providential bidding, to renovate a land before decaying tin fer various causes and descri ed by its chillren. The subject is so vast that it can be measured with any tolerable certainty, only by an arithmetical mini and by entering into a computation of thj various articles of a nation’s wealth and produce along .he whole stem and branches of the Western & Atlantic Railroad. The name is strikingly indicative of this gigantic State wotk Georgia has been lau led as the Empire State of the South. T-> what other cause has she been indebted for this distinction, so much as to this work, which, breaking through the mountain barrie’s which seemed to defy her labor and perseverance, has made smooth her way to the valley of the Mississippi lying beyond them. Let the fruits f this labor and perseverance, of her revenue expended and of the power she now possesses, be parceled out, or sold under conditions ii it the Legislature; and the moral of the Drama of him who parted his kingdom among his two daughters, wall find a quick realixation in the insignificance to which the State will be reduced.

Mexican Boundary.—Let ers have been re ceived in this city from El Paso del Norte, under da‘e of the 14th April, stating that Lieut. A. W. Whipple, Acting Chief Astronomer of the American Commission, h id determined the initial point on the Rio Grande where the southern boundary cf New Mexico strikes hat river, in latitude 32° 22' north, being the lati tude agreed on by the Joint Commission.— This parallel of latitude was deduced from four hundred and thirty-four astronomical observa lions on eleven stars On the third of April, Lieut. Whipple met DL Silazart, the Chief Astronomer of »ha who had aUu thtl poiut. They then agreed to incorporate their observations, and, by giving equal weight to each, to recommend to the John Commissi' n the result as the point to he adopted. The Joint Commitsion bad agreed <> meet at the initial point, as above determined, on t! e 2ls April, to ratify the de cision of the astronomers, and to lay tbe corner stone of the monument which was to be placed thereon. The Quartermaster, Commiasary and Medi cal Departments had inored to the ‘copper mints,” accompanied by ail persons connect ed with the Commission not on duty near the Rio Grande. As soon as the initial point should have been ma'ked, the operations of the Commission would be west of the Rio Grande ; al! it<* mem bers would then be beyond the Rio Grande, except tnosa stationed at the Astronomical Ob ■erva‘ory near El Paso. The Domestic Trade.—The United States are becoming a little world almost complete within itself. Our diversity of climate and soil, and our rich mineral resources, supply near ly every want. The rapid increase of our man ufactures will soon render us independent of for eign supplies. It is most remarkable that our largest importations of British goods were pre vious to tho embargo in 1808, when our popula tion was only one-fourth of what it is now, and our consumption of manufactured articles prob ably one-twelfth or less Th s speaks loudly for cur increase of manufacturing ability. Our com merce is now mainly not with foreign countries, but between the States. Between the North and the South —between the Atlantic States and the West—on the great Mississippi and its branches, and on the great lakes—and, what is becoming much more than these, on our numer ous railroads branching out in every direction, our domestic trade is immense. General Pack er. of the Pennsylvania Senate, in a speech re cently delivered before that body, gives the value of the lake trade for the year 1848, as follows : Lake Erie $115,785,049 Lake Huron 847,152 Lake Michigan 24,310,491 Lake Champlain 16,750,700 Lake Ontario 28,144,1.00 Lake St. Clair 639,524 Total $186,484,905 Forty millions of dollars more than the whole foreign export trade of the United States. —;Veu>- ark Advertiser. The Chinese in San Francisco.—The success which has attended the labors of the industrious Chinese in California, as indicated by the return of s >me of them with their gold en acquisitions, has given quite an impetus to the feeling of emigration from the fatherland. We learn from the Aita Californian that the movement is spreading all along the Chinese seaboard, and as i consequence that nearly all the vessals that are up in the Chinese poris for Cal fornii are intended to convey passengers. Through their chief and agent, the Chinese in California have obtained possession of a large tract of laud which they have commenced cultiv ting : they are settling it rapidly. They are said to be among the most industrious, quiet and patient people in the whole popula tion. “Perhaps the citizens of no nation,” says the Californian, 4 except the Germans, are more quiet and valuable.” Manv letters, it is added, pa.ss to and fro between China and California, and at each departure of ships for the Celestial Empire great numbers of Califor nia papers are sent to friends beyond the Pacific. It is gratifying to bs farther told that the Chinese in California, instead of adhering te naciously to the customs and usages of their own country, show a great facility in adopting our national characteristics in place of their own They adap. themselves to our laws and manifest a preference for our institutions by applying for citizenship according to our laws. In dress, too, they are becoming Amer icanized. The woodern shoes give way to leathern ones ; the longqaeue is disappearing ; the wide and fall nankeens are found io be not so convenient as the more closely fitting American garment. They are also adopting the American hat—whether with any improve meet or not in costume we do not know These particulars are strongly significant of the future destiny of California and our whole Pacific coast. We took occasion some time ago to refer to the analogy which our reli'ions with Europe, already established by s'.eady immigration on our At antic seaboard, must soon hold with the relations wn’rch by a simi far process are likely to grow up between our Western territory and the old nations of the East. I: seems that this latter process is rapid ly making itself familiar; and wi>h tha. aevvi ty in view which quickens the growth of all thing? iu the golden soil of California, we may expect to see a wonderful advance in the mul tip ication of Oriental imo igranis in that at tractive region, it may not be far in the fu ture when a son of the Celest.al Empire, con verted into an American citizen, may take his seat in the Congress of the Republic.— Halt.

Intel. i Central America and Hayti.—U has been announced in the New York Tribune, on the j authority of a let er and despatch from Wash ington, that a negotiation has been on foot which contemplates the establishment of a pro tectorate by the United States with England and France for the “bocurity, safety, well being, and entire independence of all the Central American States and their territories,” and “for free and untrammelled action with refer ence to any line of communication which it might be for the inlhre of the commercial world to have constructed between the two ocoane.” It is also stated that, “connected «*ith these propositions re'erring to Central America, is a similar propo. ition with refer ence to Hayti,” through whicn it i« expected to restore tranquility, and to p jserve the con tending parties of that island in their “present position.” We have reason to believe th it this state ment is wi hout foundation as fa. as Central America is concerned, although we suppose it to be true that an earrest effort is making to settle the questions that disturb the epublics which occupy the Isthmus. j In regard to Hayti, it is true that the United State* Government, together with the g vern ments of France and England, have made strong representations to the Emperor Sou loque against any further belligerent opara ins J upon his part against the Dominicans.

Schooner Capsized and 9 Persons Drown ed —The Racine (Wis.) Advertiser says that the schooner S. Marvin, from that port, with the captain, crew and three passengers, nine persons in all, was lost in the gale of Thursday, the22dult. The names are W. P. Denton, captain; Alexander Atwood, mate; Harvey Slawson, James Underhill, Philip Kinsley, and a Welchman, name not known, the balance hands. The Marvin was lying bottom up ward, with her bow nearly drawn under by her anchor. Her masts both broke off and were lying alongside of her. Nothing could be discovered of any of her crew or passsen gers. It is supposed the gale struck her while the hands were at supper, and withsuch vio lence as to break off both masts and capsize her before they could get to duty, and no doubt is entertained that they found a watery grave. Tho captain was a young man of eighteen years of age, and of much promise. Extensive Farming Operation.—The most extensive farming operation probably ever en tered into in any country, has been successfully carried through in California during the past autumn ard winter. We allude to the specu lation of Harner & Co. “Day before yesterday the lastsackof the potato crop was gr id, and the gross procee of this crop have amounted to $178,0 )o—yield cf 130 acres I There have been eighty hands employed ou the Ranche, and the total ex pense of carrying it on during t e season has been SBO,OOO. The sacks (gunny bags) in which the potatoes have been shipped cost above SB,- 000, while the gross receipts for the total crop of the Ranche have amounted to $223,000. We have seen in the New York Journal of Commerce, in a letter signed “ Ontario,” an estimate made of the probable sales of this potato crop when it was first planted. This writer judged that they would amount to $176 000 ; and to show how close the cal culation was, had it not been for the recent fires and the rite of potatoes, the extra S3OOO, making $l7B 000, the actual receipts would not have been made. The Maine Gold Mines —Mr. George H. Campbell, of Boston, who has spent several years in the gold mines of California, has lately paid a visit to the gold mines of Maine He writes to the Times from Madison, on the Ken nebec river, about twenty males above Water ville, and says that gold tn small quantities is to be found between that place and she Canada line; but the writer is inclined tojkthink that five cents per day per man would be'more than the average result of diligent labor. The first d scovery made on this side of the Canad an line Whs at Carney Brook, where a Mr. Car ney keeps a public house, and since that time some hundreds have tried their hands there at prospecting, and some hundreds more are ex pected. Tne writer is of opinion that gold is scattered all along over the northern part of Maine, but probably searching for it would prove ruinous to the undertaker. Great Lock Picking.—There is a Mr. Hobbs, of New York, attending the London Exhibition, whose skill in solving the riddle of the mofet intricate locks, and which were sup posed to defy human ingenuity, has astonished the world at present in London. Dr Smith, in one of his letters to the Tran’cript, says— “he picked the heretofore supposed unpicka ble Chubb lock, which laughed at all the Eng lish Hcksmiths and rogues. It is the reliance of bankers, and secures the archives of the go vernment. He opened the chest in just fifteen minutes with soma sort of crooked Yankee nail he carried in a vest pocket. He offered ten thousand dollars for the privilege ol trying to open the lock of the safe in which the great regal iamond, belonging to the Quoon, valued at two million? of pounds ster'ing, is deposited nightly, at the close of the daily oxhibivon.— But no one dared trust him near it with that strange looking hook.” Mr. Hobbj proposes to try his hand at several other locks, to the successful opening of which largo rewards are offered by the inventors. A New Variety of Sheep—We had the pleasure of seeing yesterday a new variety of sheep, a ram and an ewe, just imported from Africa, and intended tn be conveyed to the fine sheep farm of M. B. Ives, Esq , at Potowoinut. They came from the mountains about 300 miles in the interior, from the East coast of Africa, and were a present from H. B. M. Consul in Zanzibar to a gentleman in Salem. The variety is entirely new, and quite unknown to naturalists. It is distin guished by the enormous fatness of the tail, and a singular dewlap, resembling that of cattle, and lh°! absence of horns in the ram. The wool is very coarse, more resembling hair then the article which is beginning to form so important a staple in the productions of our State ; but in recompense of this the mutton is said to be unrivalled in flavor and tenderness ; and it is probable that by ju dicious crossing with our native breeds, a very important variety way be produced, sustaining, or perhaps improving, the wel known reputation of Rhode Island mutton! and not depreciating its fi’ness for wool.— Providence Journal. Union Monument—lt is contemplated by gentlemen of this city to construct a full cap ped Corinthian column on the neutral ground between Royal and St. Charles, in Canal street. It is io ba surmounted by a square turret, on the four sides of which will bo en graved tho names of the Compromise Com mittee of the Senate of the United States. On the lop of the turret will be a town clock with four large illuminabie dials, and above all will be a full length bronze ratue of H.nry Clav. The column is to be of ca«t iron, about 126 feet high and fifteen feet in dia » eter. It is et .imated that $20,000 will cover the whole cost, the amount to be raised by public subscription. We believe that the idea of con-tructing this monument has originated with Mr. William Freret, who has already procured lithographic engravings of the plans, and we trust he will prosecute his object to a successful completion, —N.

POLITICAL, MR. COBB’S LETTER OF ACCEPT ANCE. Eatonton, Juno 18, 1851. Hon. Howell Cobb.—Sia: At a Con,en tion recently held of the Constitutional Union party, you were unanimously nominated as their candidate for the Chief Magisi’acy of Georgia. The undersigned were appo nted a committee to notify you of your nomination, and to solicit your acceptance. In the performance of this duty, we may add, that many of that Convention, were those with whom you have hitherto agreed upon the political issues which have divided the country; many were those who have hitherto differed from you on those issues. Yet all, animated by an ardent love for the preservation of that government which has been transmitted to us by Washington—now, when an imperilled Union demands the loyalty of every patriotic heart, forgetting all past differences of more policy, and striving after a higher and nobler object, have united to eave that Union itself. Not only has the spirit of fanaticism else where, but that of ultraism among us, sought to destroy the principles of our government as expounded by Washington, Jefferson, and Madison, but it has even sought to lay its sacri ligious hands upon the government itself, and to throw into revolution an anarchy, that whicli is the freest, happuit, and best on earth. To avert ibis calamity and to preserve this Union, upon the principles of the constitution, have united the hearts and purposes of that portion of the people of Georgia who were represen ed in the late Convention of the Constitutional Union party. By that party, wi.b such principles, you have been nomina ted as a candidate for the Chief Magistracy of Gee’g.y;-,., . • .... Permit us !o add the expression of our in dividual preferences as to its acceptance." Your ob't. serv’ts. Jah. A. Mkriwkthkr, W. H. Hull, J«o. Milledoc, W. T. WorrORD, T. W. Thomas. Athens, Ga., June 24, 1851. Gentlemen:—l have this day received your letter of the 18th inst-, informing mo of my nomination oy the Convention of the Consti tutional Union party of Georgia, for the office of Governor. With a full appreciation of tho honor which the Convention has conferred upon me, 1 accept the nomination, and, if elected, will endeavor faithfully to discharge the duties of he office. The resolutions adopted by your Conven tion, present in distinct terms to the people of the Slate, an issne involving the peace and re pose of the country, if not the very existence of the Union. No one can over-estimate tbe importance of the decision which is o be pro nounced by the people upon it, audit is only in a due estimate of the consequences depend ent upon the result, that we can look for a judgment worthy ol tbe intelligence and pa triotism of our fellow citizens. During the exciting scenes that characteri zed the deliberations of tbe last Congress on the slavery question, the public mind was di rected with intense anxiety to the action of our national legislature Every patriotic heart in the land felt that the issues of life and death were involved in the final adjustment of that angry and exciting contest, which was threat ening the overthrow of the noblest structure ever erected by human wisdom—the American Union. That result, so long and anxiously looked for by the people of the States, was at length consummated by their representa tives, in the adoption of those bills, familiarly known to the country as the “adjustment” or “compromise measures.” Ido not propose at this time to discuss those measures—it would not bo altogether appropriate to the occas on, even if I felt impelled to such a course by the apprehension of any doubt existing in the public uiicd, in reference to my views on this subject. I have alluded to the subject as in troductory to another growing out of those measures which challenges, iu an emphatic manner, the public attention, from recent polit ical movements in our own and neighboring States. When, in consequence of the passage of the compromise bills by Congress, the people of Georgiawere summoned to a Convention, to consider of the course and policy, which the adoption of those measures required them to pursue, we all felt that circumstances had de volved upon our State a responsibility of no ordinary character, but one which the intel ligence and patriotism of her people peculiar ly adapted her to assume. The anxiety mani fested in reference to 'he action of that Con vention, was not confined to tho limits of our own State. It was felt throughotA the length and breadth of tho Union, and was second in intensity only to the solicitude which had pre viously been exhibited about the adoption of the measures, which had caused its assemblage. The questions which that Convention was called upon to consider, were discussed by the public press—by our public speakers—in pri vate conversetioa—indeed, in every mode known to tbe political canvass, with unusual warmth and marked ability, it is certainly no reflection upon any previous political struggle in our State to say, that on no former occasion, was there more talent, learning, research and patriotism brought into requisition than by the respective friends and advocates of the varioui policies indicated in the course of the canvass. The representatives selected under these cir cumstances, assembled in Convention: a body of as w seaud patriotic men as ever be fore convened in any State in the Union. They came fresh from the people, fully en trusted wi’-h their wishes, and empowered to speak authoritatively for them ; and in the name of their constituency, they placed upon the records of our State the enlightened judg ment of an honest and patriotic people. Ilfs unnecessary for me here to speak of the action of the Convention in detail. It is of too ra cent occurrence, and, therefo-e, too famaliar to the people to require a recital of it. Not only will it be remembered what was the action of the Convention, but it should likewise be borne in mind that it met the approving voice of the people throughout the State. The universal sentiment of approval which greeted the represents!!' es upon their return to their respective constituencies, was rendered the more striking and remarkable by the feeble and occasional mutterings of the sow restless and discontented spirits who withheld their sanction. Who supposed at that time that there would have been arrayed in a few months a political organization in the Sta'e, based upon a repudiation of this wise, just and enlightened judgment of the people? ll'the people of Georgia are prepared to ra verseadecision so recently and solemnly made, and madly to rush the ship of State into the gulf of disunion, in obedience to the summons of a neighboring State, then it is manifest that I am not the man to select for their Chief Ma gistra’e. For, while I concede that the South Las cause of complaint against the North for their conduct in the past, in connection with the question of slavery, yet I must, in candor, declare that there is nothing vhich, in my judgment, will justify us in dissolving a go vernment formed by Washington and his im mortal compeers, and which the committee are right in pron mneing “the reest, happiest and best in tbe world.’’ It will be a dark day for liberty throughout the world, when this step is taken. The ©fleet produced throughout the Union by the aciion of that Convention is not only grateful to our feeling of State pride, but should not be without its influence upon our minds, when wu are invited to a recons:dera tinu ofthe deci-ion which was then pronounce L With our sister States of the South, and with the patriotic friends of the Union every where, the action of that Convention was hail ed with exhibitions of unbounded applause. The highest encomiums were passed upon the wisdom, intelligence, and patriotism of its members, as exhib.ted in their firm and un yielding devotion to the rights of the South, the Constitution of the country, and tha Union of the States. Georgia, already proudly pre eminent among her sister States, was thus ele vated to a yet higher and nobler position As one of her citizens, I give to the action of her Convetion my warm, cordial and unreserved approval, and am prepared to give to the main tenance of he* decision my best efforts. She has declared, in the most soiemn manner, that “she can, consistently with her honor, abide by the general scheme of pacification.” In that declaration I fully concur. When 1 give to ibis action of her Convention my unqualified approval, I do not feel that my native State has required me, as one of her citizens, to sub mit to an act of degradation. I will not cast upon her the ungrateful reflection that she has taxed the allegiance of her citizens to the extent of requiring at their hands a humiliating submission to a condition of degradation and inequality among her sheer States It is with far different feelings that 1 regard her action. I look upon her in ‘.he proud po si lion which she occupies in thia confederacy of States, and feel no bhish of shame mant ling my cheeks as I read her history in the past realize her present pre eminence—and look forward to the bright prospect which the future opens up before her Should, how ever. the time ever arrive when the conditions of her remaining in the confederacy are deg radation and inequality, I shall be prepared with her, “ to resist, with all the means which a favoring Providence may place al her dipo sal,” even ‘ (as a last retort ) to a disruption of every lie which binds her to the Union,” any and every power that seeks to put upon her such debasing terms. Nor am 1 particular by what name this resistance may be character bed—whether secession, revolution, or any thing else—for no one can For a moment doubt, that should this feaiful collision ever come, the issue will be decided only by the arbitrament of the sword Where constitu tions end, revolu ions begin. But. to my mind, ‘he future presents no such gloomy forebodings. So far we have main tained the honor ot our State, and at the same time preserved the Union. A firm and un yielding adherence to the principles laid down by our Convention, will ensure the future i>eaceand repose of the country, and will ena ble us, in common with our brethren of the American Union, to realize all those blessing* which the future has in store for our country, if we will prove true to the high destiny to which we have been called.

McDonald’s Tracks* In the confusion of a campaign, especially upon new issues, it is often difficult to convict a man of occupying a position which he occu pies in fact. He may have acted with a party, yet made no speeches, written no letters, at tended no conventions —in a word, made no tracks. In such cases, it is only by means of the company he kept that a judgment can be formed of him. Gov. McDonald does not occupy this posi tion. His positionasa Disunion man'—among the Disunion men of Georgia, and ofthe South, has been far from unconspicuous. It was ta ken with an apparent honesty which we hon ored, until he abandoned it. Wo will first take occasion to point out his TRACKS TOWARDS DISOkIOX. He made one tolerably distinct track at Nashville, at the first session of the Southern Convention, of which he was Vice President A second pointing in a like direction he made at Macon m August of last year, when presi ding over a Mass (?) Meeting then, which was agreeably entertained by Mr. Rhett, of South Carolina, Mr. Yancy of Alabama,—Messrs Colquitt, nod others of ~ -.,,j , 10 . jp,. so agreeably by the non-moderato Mr. Stiles ol Georgia. A third, and the most distinct and decisive track of all was made at Nashville, while acting as President of that body, at the second session of the Southern Convention. He was at the times referred to among that class of disunion men who were tn favor of a dissolution of the Union for existing causes. This is what we mean by classing him among Disunion men'. In other words, he was among those who preferred Disunion to the Compro mise. The compromise at the latter of these dates was an existing thing. We have been thus precise in determining his location, to give his friendsan opportunity, if they can, of proving an alibi. Whether he ever was a Disunionist, per so, is a matter of indifference. He was once, as we shall show, a D.siinionist rather than abide the existing com - promise. The first Nashville Convention pronounced the Missouri Compromise line its "extreme concession.*' As Congresshadnot thanacted, it declared that it “did not feel at liberty to dis cuss the method suitable for a resistance to measures not yet adopted.” It intimated it to bo the “duty of Congress” to accept its ultima tum in order to avoid theelimax of shame aria ing from a “a termination of this controversy by the disruption of the confederacy.” If these resolutions meant more than an idle boast, they me-nt “the ultimatum—or Disu nion ” While presiding over the Macon Miss Meet ing the cry of “Disunion” was received with cheers. We believe the President did not of fer to rebuke the mode of its reception. But passing over ail equivocal signs, the third track distinctly defines Gov. McDonald’s position. With the second Nashville Convention he was thoroughly identified He called it. He was its President. If he stands uncommitted by its action, then is it impossible for any man to find means to commit himself That Convention declared that all the evils anticipated by itself at its first session had been realized—it recommended the formation of local societies—the appointment of committees of vigilance—and other machinery of a sec tional party —declared that it had no powers that were binding on the States it represented and (byway of filling the gap in its own pow ers) oeased the following resolution : Resolved. That in view of the oppressions and outrages inflicted upon the South and those threaten ed and impending, we recommend that each of ths Southern States in the mode she may adop', do ap point delegates to a general Convention of all the as sailed Slates to ba held at on the day of clothed with full authority to deliberate and act, with all the sovereignpower of the people, with the view of arresting further aggrenru and restoring the conatitutionl rights of the South—if possible— and if not, then to provide for the safety and inde pendence of the South in the last resort. The constitutional rights nf the South they declared to be violated by the compromise. There was an existing state of things to be subverted a compromise to be overthrown —ff possible. If not, then Dlsuuioa, liuitpen deiice. This is the meaning of it, open, not covert. The resolutions do not “squint” at Disunion merely. They openly avow it, and provide the means to accomplish it. On this platform stood Gov. McDonald last year. Not as a private soldier—but as com mander-iu-chief. If there be any man in or out of Georgia entitled to the distinction of ring leader of the disunionists, Gov. McDon ald is that man. If there were such thing as Disunion men, he was among, and of, and over them. But how are the mighty fallen, and the weap ons of liar perished. We come next to Gov. McDonald’s back tracks. Where does Gov. McDonald now stand I Has he, or not, been “taking steps backward ?" Having fast hold of two or three of his po sitions, we will discuse there questions leisure ly. When we ascertain his present position we can coolly compare it with the former. The tracks do not point the same way. On tbe 28th day of May, a motley conven tion of an unchristened portion of the people of Georgia assembed in Milledgeville, under no name or style. Did this convention back the Nashville Convention > We wot not. It proposed no such thing as a Southern Con gress—the leading idea of the Nashville Con vention. It proposed no concert with South ern States. It proposed no primary meetings, as did that Convention, to establish private (as distinguished from legislative) non-intercourse —no appointment of committees of vigilance It proposed uo measures of redress—not a solitary measure We are too fast It did propose one, pitiful enough at that—but dis creetly, rejected it. Resistance I—“Oh no, they never mentioned it." ‘‘That once familiar word” has become obsolete in the vocabulary of those once “reliant for the South.” Reais tance! Redress! Who hears these words iu Georgia now 1 Last summer they were house hold words." The Nashville Convention, backed by tbe Con vention in Milledgeville, “ of Southern ma t, Demo crats and Whigs?” Why the vary existence of a Nashville Convention was ignored. Os suob a Convention as this, could Gov. MeDvn al 1, tbe President of tbe former, consent to be the candidate, the standard bearer ol their —heaven save the mark I —their principles ? Could he coma down from too height of his demand, and occupy this paltry platform? Verily he could, and did. Look to bis letter of June stli. Nominated by a Convention whose very name he must express by a circumlocution, (a de scription, not a name,) he offers hie profound ac knowledgments for the honor, aul replies that “a call so made he does sot feel at liberty to decline." Political liberty is a different thing from what wo had fancied it We should have thought Gov. Mc- Donald “al liberty ” to have replied to these gen tiemen with perfect courtesy. “ Gentlem-n, look at my Nreh-ille tracks and see whether 1 can reasona bly be expected to taka this new direction. I can only accept nominations from those who back roe.” “ Not feeling at liberty co decline 1 ’ their nomina - lion, and unwilling to leave them nameless, he pro ceeds with all convenienldcspatcfi to dub them " tba party of the Constitution.” He considers tbeir re pudiation of old party ties “ the most gratifying evi dence that the p ,ny of the Constitution is determined to sustain tire Union of the Slates on the principles on which our venerated ancestors established it." A much higher evidence, to our minds, would bava been furnished by tbe adoption of some practical means of vindicating tbe principles they asserted to be violated. “The habitual violation of these principles” <■ the flagrant and fatal violation ” of them, one would have thought needed action louder than mere resolu tion. The violation of them did n« give rise even to valiant resolutions. “ The fraud open an injured people” is to be submitted to in a quiet way, of which, among nations, (not abiding by the scripture rule of forgiving injuries,) few precedents are to be found. Laboriously does the Governor argue to prove that be ought to do what he does not propose to goresist. To bis own satisfaction, he demonstrates that the South has been plundered, ontraged and de graded. Tbe Convention which nominated him la bored the same point. But, oh, lame and impotent conclusion I They ,-ropoee, in the way of redress, to do what? Why—nothing! Last summer it used —with the mildest of them— to be something. Something must be done. But now they all, with one accord, (one man di 1 vole to '.he contrary in that grand a-abu lesion meeting—we do him the justice to record it,) have let go even that uncertain measure of redress. “ Considerations like these,” indue d Gov, Mc- Donald to endeavor to promote united action at tbe South. ... . Well might they. They might have moved a milder spoken mao than he was—at that time. But why not now as well as then? Have the Governor's spirits failed him ? Are m.jorities indeed an potent ? Is it so hateful to his feelings to be in the minority ? Wny, says Gov. McDonald —“ The wrong having been done, each Mate must judge for itself without consultation with the rest in the matter." Indeed, — Why then did you call the second Nashville Con vention? Was that to enable each State to “judge for itself?" We should think it ill adapted to any such purpose. If it was for any purpose, it was to promote “ united action.” But “Georgia, in advance of her sisters has met in her sovereign capacity, and her people have de terminer to pretermit the oulrage committed on her right by the admission of California as a baste,, with her higblyot foot enable Constitution Georgia has not been wont in her past history to prelermdout roots ’’ If Georgia had agreed with Guv. McDor xfo, in sentiment—bad believed her rights outraged would not have •admitted to the outrage.
