A New Political League
The following resolutions, adopted by the Ger
man Political Club of Cleveland. Ohio, on the
23rd November, 1851, are published in the Plain
Dealer, of that city. This is certainly a novel
league, and affords an instructive lesson on the
progress of radicalism and red-republicanism in
this country—both of which are likely to he fos
tered by the extraordinary reception given to
foreign radicals and revolutionists, on their arri
val in this country, by our own citizens. That
this spirit is on the increase is very apparent to
the most casual observer, and that a new impe
tus will be given to it by the presence of Kos
suth and his followers, we entertain not a doubt.
For it cannot have escaped the observation of
the intelligent and reflecting, that our people, in
their admiration of the chivalry and distinguish
ed talents of the brave Magyar, have entirely
lost sight of his principles; those principles upon
which he based his opposition to Austrian rule
in Hungary. This is the most charitable con
struction to be placed upon their conduct: for
upon no other ground can such conduct, in men
who claim to be republican, be excused.
Let us not be misunderstood. It is not our pur
pose to represent Kossuth as a Radical, or Red
Republican, or as even the advocate of libera
doctrines, unless by the force of circumstances,
and the disastrous reveses to which he has been
subjected, in his efforts to revolutionize Hunga
ry, he has been driven from one extreme to the
other, and has therefore recently undergone a
thorough and complete change.
For the fact is well established, in the mind
of every well informed man on the subject, that
Kossuth and his followers, engaged in that revo
lution not to establish a republican form of gov
ernment, but to restore the ancient monarch) of
Hungary—to re-establish the privileges of the
nobility and to perpetuate forever the serfdom
of Sclavonians and Croatians, who are said to
constitute two thirds of the Hungarian popula
tion. determined was he in his purpose to
establish such a government as we have described,
that he positively declined the proffered aid of—
the Croatians and Sclavonians in thejstruggle,
tendered to him on condition that if successful
he would establish a liberal government, which
should recognise no privileged classes, —a govern
ment designed to lay the foundation of a broad and
universal equality among all clasess. He there
fore utterly repudiated, at that time, Republican
ism in all its forms, by rejecting the great prin
ciple upon which it is based, as obnoxious to his
views of good government. Being a man of
rank himself, a position attained by his eminent
ability, he looked only to the preservation or re
establisemeut of a privileged class—and utterly
repudiated all purjiose of giving liberty to the
masses who have existed in serfdom for a thou
sand years. Such was Kossuth, such the man,
i n blind admiration of whom thousands of Amer
ican citizens, whoatfect to admire republican in
stitutions, seem to be running quite beside them
selves.
But we have digressed, our purpose was to in
troduce the’following resolutions, the contempla
tion of which naturally led to some reflections
upon the rapid tendency to radicalism in this
country.
Whereas the colored people, in their meeting
held on the 17th instant, have expressed llieir
symp. thy with the German nation, by a resolu
tion. to actually aid the German national loan,
the German Political Club resolves :
Ist. To express i s hearty thanks.and avails itself
of this opportunity to declare the conviction that
the German people, as soon as they shall hare obtain
ed the Democratic Republic in the coming struggle,
will use all means which are adapted to abolish
slavery, an institution which.is so wholly repug
nant to th- principles of true Democracy.
2d That tills resolution shall be published in
all the newspapers of this city.
This (says the Cincinnati Gazette) is indeed a
very singular and surprisiug compact or agree
ment to be entered into by the German and
Africau population of this country, and should
engage the attention of those very patriotic and
Jibertv-loving politicians of this and other cities
who are »<> ardent in their advocacy of the
Kinkle fund, and at the same time so full of re
gard for “ the Union.” the rights of the South ”
and “the Liberators of Cuba.” We suppose
these politicians will say that, in the event medi
tated in the resolution above quoted, they would
oppo-e with force of arms, if necessary, the
interference of the *' Republic of Germany"
with our domestic institutions. But, we ask,
with what consistency could they offer such re
sistance after so boldly advocating, as they now
do the active intefereuce of the United Suites
Government in the struggles which are expec
ted to occur in Europe during the next year 1
Surely they must forsake their cherished doctrine
upon this point,or allow in its turn the interfer
ence of the proposed German Republic for tne
extinction of slavery in this country I Which
~~ horn of the dilemma will they lake!— Cincinnati

New Orleans and Nashville Bailroad
New Orleans has recently been waked up
from her dreamy visions, in which she had so
long indulged, that the great " Father of Wa
ters” would certainly, spite of all the improve
ments of art, waft into her bosom the vast pro- ,
ductions of the fertile valleys of the Mississippi
and its tributaries. The rapid diversion of trade
horn her, which she had so long considered ex
clusively her own, into other marts, by the pro
gress of railroads, has served to sound the alarm
among her people, who, feeling the necessity ot
a great and powerful effort, are beginning to di
rect their energies to the accomplishment of
some gigantic enterprises. Among others, is a
railroad to Nashville ; ami with a view to en
list the co-operation of the Tennesseeans in
this great work, they have sent a delegation to
Nashville, headed by that eminent banker, and
enterprising citizen, James Robb, to visit the
Legislature of that state, now in session.
“• This mission." says the Bonner, “has been i
made the subject of a special message from his
Excellency, Governor Campbell, to the Legisla
ture, which was promptly considered by that
body, and an invitation extended to the mem
bers of the delegation to make an address ex
plaining its object. Mr. James Robb, the chair
man, on behalf of the delegation, tesponded to
this invitation ; and. on Tuesday evening, deliv- 1
ered iu the Hall of Representatives, an address
that was characterized by good taste and very
enlarged views on the subject of Internal Im
provements, Agriculture, and Manufactures. —
which we are glad to jierveive awakening a
wide spread spirit of interest anil enthusiasm in .
all the States of the Southwest,”
The delusive conviction that her natural facil- .
ities for transportation would overcome all the I
appliances of art, has for a long period, kept New
Orleans inactive—a mere looker-on upon the
great works ot internal improvement, which
have so rapidly developed the vast resources o j
the country. Now, however, seeing how nt- ;
terly salacious that idea, she enters the field with ■
an energy and spirit which command
as well for boldness of conception, as gigantic I
designs. We welcome her most cordially upon
Hus new theatre, in which we are sure she will
find ample scope for the employment ot all her
vast resources, and the display of the highest en
ergies of her enterprising citizens.
Intebvention. —The Journal of Commerce i
thus disposes of this question.
•• Our Government was created—such is the de j
— ' cl*r»tion of tbt* preamble to the Caurtitution-—hi
order to form a more perfect Union, establish justice, I
ensure domestic tranquility, promote the general
welfare and eeeu re the blessing of liberty to our- ;
and our posterity ; and as inten ention in the
atUirs of Europe in not among the objects, it i* a suf
ficient answer to say to whoever asks it: Wo have
not the power under our present form of Govern
ment?
If the propagandists of the present day had
sway, our constitution would indeed be a melan
choly wreck. Under their administration the
government would become one of sympathy and
impulse, and would be eternally embroiled by
its intermeddling with the affairs of other na
tions. Our duties as citizens of the American
republic, have been wisely defined to be to gov
ern ourselves well, and to secure to every citizen
the blessings of a well-regulated liberty. Do
this, and we will have an ample field lor the dis
play of all our diplomacy and statesmanship
without seeking to propagate our principles of
government iu other soils and climates. Ou
highest ambition, therefore, should be to extend,
our principles, alone by the force ot our exam
ple; and if we cultivate friendly relations with
all, and entangle alliances with none, it is the
surest and most sale mode of accomplishing this
purpose It has been by the observance ot this
wise policy in our foreign relations, that we
have so rapidly anti without disturbance attained

Congressional Caucuses,
As much anxiety is felt throughout the coun
try, to arrive at the facts connected with the re
jection of the Compromise resolution in the De
mocratic caucus at Washington, and the adop
tion by the Whig caucus of the same or a similar
resoluti an, we subjoin the most authentic report
I we have been able to cull from our exchanges, of
j the proceedings of the respective bodies. Pre
; raising that the facts stated are substantially
| true, according to the confessions and admissions
; of members of Congress, who were in each cau
cus. in the discussion on Monday, we submit the
facts for the dispassionate consideration of the
reader.
The following account of the proceedings in
the Democratic caucus, is taken from the corres
pondence of the Baltimore Sun:
Washington, Nov. 30.
There was considerable animation in the
Democratic caucus lasjt evening, and, contrary to
all expectation, the Compromise Resolutions
were voted down ; that is to say, they were ta
bled, though a motion was pending to refer them
to a committee. A motion to adjourn was also
voted down : though that would have given ab
sent members a chance to be heard.
But fifty members voted against the Compro
mise—that is for tabling it, and thirty-one or
thirty-nine for it, that is against tabling it. The
short sense of the long story is, the Compromise
was kicked out of caucus by about nineteen ma
jority.
A number of members then withdrew, or ab
stained from voting. Among them were Judge
Bayly of Virginia, Gorman of Indiana, Geo. W.
Jones of Tennessee, Freeman and Wileox of Mis
sissippi, and a good many others.
Among those who remained and voted, were
Messrs. Rantoul, of Massachusetts, Preston King
of New York, Gov. Cleaveland of Connecticut,
and others of that persuasion of politics.
What effect the voting down, or kicking out,
of the Compromise resolutions will Lave on the
country remains to be seen. An effort will, no
doubt, be made to offer similar resolutions as soon
as Congress shall organize; and some think they
will pass: but that may safely be questioned. If
they pass, they will pass by the joint vote of
Union Whigs and Union Democrats.
The Washington Republic gives the following
version of the affair:
“Wc arc informed that ninety Democratic Repro
sentatives were present, and that the proceedings
were lively and protracted. Mr. W. A. Richard
son, of Illinois was in the chair, and Mr. F. P.
Stanton of Tennessee, and W. P. Hall, of Missouri,
as Secretaries. After the meeting was organized
Major Polk of Tennessee, ottered a resolution cor
dially approving of the scries of measures known
as the Compromise, and pronouncing them a final
adjustment of the questions to which they relate.
This gave rise to a debate, in the course of which
Mr. Stanton, of Tennessee, moved to refer the
whole matter to the Baltimore National Democrat
ic Convention. Finally, however, on the motion of
Mr. D. K. Carter, of Ohio, Major Polk’s resolution
was laid on the table, by a vote of 59 to .‘lll.
After this division several numbers left the meet
ing. The vote on the nomination for Speaker was
SO. For Clerk, Mr. Forney received 60 votes; Mr.
Yomig, the former incumbent, 20. A host of can
didates appeared for the Doorkeepership: and we
understand that a compromise in regard to the ap
pointment of the officer controlled by the Door
keeper was found necessary to secure the nomina
tion of Mr. McKnew. Messrs. Glossbrenner and
Johnson were nominated by acclamation.
The coalition of Massachusetts was represented
by Mr. -Rantoul—that of Connecticut by Mr. Cleve
land. The Frcesoilers of New York were represen
ted by Mr. Preston King. Resolutions in support
of the Compromise measures were laid o.i the table,
we understand, by a majority of nine votes. On
the repudiation of these resolutions, a number of
the Democrats left the caucus, and the remaining :
members, including Messrs. Rantoul. King, and
Cleveland, made the nominations wo hai e mention
ed.
If Mr. Boyd and his associates should be elected
they will be indebted to the gentlemen wo have
mentioned for their nomination : and it will require
the votes of Messrs. Colcock, Woodward. Wullace
Bocock, Venable, and men of this school, to secure
their election.
The action of the Whig caucuss, is thus
chronicled by the same correspondence of the
Baliimore San:
Washington, Dec. I 1851.
The Whigs held a caucus this morning, in which
they passed the following highly satisfactory resolu
tion :
Resol red, That wc regard the series of acts, known
as the adjustment measures, us forming in their mu
tual dependence and connection a system ot eom
| promise, the most conciliatory, and the best for the
| entire country that could be obtained from conflicting
sectional interests and opinions ; and that therefore,
they ought to be adhered to. and carried into faith
fid execution as a final setttrmeat in principle and
substance of the dangerous and exciting subjects
which they embrace.
There were between fifty and sixty whigs in caucus,
' a majority Northern men, and there were not more
i than five or eight who voted against the resolution or j
left the room. The democrat proposed to beat that
all hollow. They want to muster their whole
strength in Congress and pass the compromise re
solutions, with the whole strength of the party un
der drill. The fact is tho whigs wont at the resolu
tions, without looking to office, which was beyond
their roach ; while tho democrats exhibited the
phenomenon, called by , astronomer the parallax;
that is, they suffered themselves to be. deflected from
a straight line by the medium through which they
passed ; but all will be made right in a few days.
This is refreshing ! Lust year the disunionists
and frce-soilers denounced the Union as “<* curse,
a more wanton. Now the fashion is to worship
at her shrine . Tho Union is not only the avowed
bride of every true American heart, hut also tho
fashion of tlio day : disunion will soon be an obso
lete idea.
The RrpulJir takes the following notice ot the
action of the Whig caucus:
"At the Whig caucus, publicly called through the
I two Whig journals in this city to assemble at nine,
' o'clock on Monday morning, nearly all the Whig
I members of the House wore present— -as many ax
were within reach of the announcement. At this
meeting a resolution was offered, endorsing, in the
language of President Fillmore's last annual mes
sage, tiles cries es measures known as the Adjust
ment, and recommending adherence to them as a
"JiHal xtllemnit" of the dangerous and exciting
subjects which they embrace. A motion to lay this
resolution on the table failed—a very small minori
ty voting in its favor. It was then put to the meet
ing and carried by an almost unanimous vote—three
gentlemen, whoso Frcesoil tendencies overmastered
their Whiggery, withdrawing from the caucus."
These facts, all .of which were substantially
admitted by members, who were present at the
caucuses, in a debate on the floor of the House on
Monday, go far to confirm our previous convic
tions of the purpose of the Whig and Demo
ocratie parties at the North, to bid very high lor
the vote of the Union party of the South. Thus
far, however, the Whigs have made decidedly
the best showing, and we look for a bold game
on the part of the Democrats, in the shape of
some manceuvre in the House in the form ol i
resolutions. There is, therefore, in our opinion |
but one course forthe Union men ot the South ;
to pursue, in the midst of all this juggling and '
intrigueing of the two parties at the North, and .
that is to move steadily forward in the forma- ;
tion of a great national, conservative party. '
pledged to the support and maintenance of the ;
compromise. *' Hang out your banner on the
outer wall,” invite the conservative men of al
parties and sections to rally under its folds, and
kick out all the political tricksters, whether
Northern fanatics or Southern Agitators, who
are ever ready to barter principles for office—
give them no seat in them, and should they
thrust themselves in, let them understand that
their characters and purposes are fully under
stood, and that they cannot hope to disturb the
harmony of the great National, Union Conser
vative party.
The Union men of the South bold now the
destinies of the country in their hands, and if
they cut loose promptly from all old party alli
ances, and unite on a National Platform, they |
may dictate the policy of the Government for a ■
generation. But to do this, there must lie no
temporizing policy, no tinkering—they must lay ■
down their platform, and invite those who are
willing to defend it to rally upon itand by no
means wait to hear the bids and propositions o 1
the corrupt intriguers of the two parties at the
North. Let. therefore. Southern members of
Congress see to it. that they do not sacrifice this
commanding position and the interests ot their
I section, if not the Union itself, by any petty in
trigues to reorganize parties upon the old ex
ploded platforms, or a cunningly devised effort to
make political capital.
Lasoß Load or Cotton.—We observed yes
. terday. on the street, a mammoth load of cotton of
I twenty bales. from the plantation of Mr. A. McGe
i hoc. 9 miles out on the South Plank roiuk The
bales averaged over 500 lbs. each, an aggregate o
five tons, and were hauled by four mules. This
shows the advantages of Plank Roads. Formerly,
over the same country, during wet seasons, it some
times required two mutes to a bale.
The Montgomery Journal introduces the above
i paragraph ns an apt illustration, in which we
entirely concur, of the great advantages to plant-
I era, of Plank Roads. The country through
which this road posses is limestone, and prob
i ably some portions prairie: and most of our read
i ere are familiar with the general character of
I roads over such land in the Winter, or wet sea
son. But they are little less advantageous as
compared with the best natural roads iu the
country, most of w hich become almost impassa
ble in the winter season, if much travelled over.
I'he labor of teams and teamsters thus saved are
of incalculable advantage, as it may be employ
ed in the improvement of the farm in various
ways, and the more thorough preparation for tire
succeeding crop, which can never be too well
I done.

Southern Medical and Surgical Journal
The December No; of this valuable periodical
is on our table, containing its usual variety of
original and miscellaneous matter. Ihe present
No. completes the seventh volume of the new
series of this journal—and we hope that the
eighth volume may be liberally patronized, as
it is well conducted with ability and industry,
j and should be on the shelf of every Southern
' Physician. The work is edited by Professor L.
A. Dugas, and published ill this city by James
McCafferty, at S 3 per annum in advance.
The Charleston Medical Journal & Ke
view-
The November No. of this valuable periodical
has been on our table for some days. This is a
valuable work issued bi- monthly in the city of
Charleston, and edited by Drs. Cain and Porcher,
and whether, looking at its typhographical execu
tion, or the ability with which it is conducted,
itis every way worthy of the patronage of the
profession. It is publisned by Walker and
! James at SI per annum in advance.
The Knoxville Register-
Mr. S. R. Johnson, the Agent for this journal,
is now in this city on business connected with
the office. The Register is among the oldest and
most extensively circulated papers in the State
and affords a very fine advertising medium for
our merchants who desire to extend their busi
ness in that direction.
Counterfeits. —Counterfeit bills of the de
nomination of one hundred dollars on the Mer
chant’s Bank of Cheraw, So. Ca., resembling the
bills of that Bank, and very well executed, are

‘mnly dollars, hence, all above that are counter
feits.
Shocking Occurrence. —On Sunday lust, we
are informed, Zcdekiah Skets, of Newton District
Jackson county, shot his son, of the same name with
a rifle. The wound proved mortal and the father
has been arrested. He was to have been taken be
fore the magistrates at Newton on yesterday, for
the purpose of commitment. — Athens Banner.
It is not improbable, we think, if the author
ities of Georgia follow the example of that im
becile creature, Gov. Towns, and the last legis
lature, in respiting and pardoning, and that which
the present legislature seems likely to set in the
same line, the day is not far distant when eveiy
lover of law and order in Georgia will have
cause to blush for the disgrace which this sickly,
mawkish sensibility has entailed upon the State
when the slaughter of men will become more
common than among the savages, and perpetra
ted with fewer compunctions and far less impu
nity. The root of this evil may be traced to
that most extraordinary decision of the Supreme
Court, whichjdeclared unconstitutional the stat
ute of the State, defining the manner of carrying
weapons, and the tree has been rendered vigor
ous by the extraordinary abuse of the pardoning
power during the last four years.
I ndeed, so great has been the abuse of that pow
er for the last four years, which seems likely to lie
increased rather than corrected by the present
legislature, that the evil is becoming one of se
rious enormity, and demands the indignant re
buke of the press and the people.
It is almost impossible now, fora case of such
enormity to originate in any community, that
there is not a successful effort made to excite the
morbid, sickly sympathies of a few petitioners,
who ask of the Governor a respite and the Le- i
gisiature a pardon.
The Governor, (Towns) in his cringing,
crawling sycophancy, yields: a respite is given,
and legislators are found who, ignorant ol their
duties, or desirous to make a display ol their
generous sympathies for a felon, (who in the i
popular nomenclature is pronounced “an unfor- ;
tunate fellow-being,") disregarding the verdicts I
of the juries, and the decision of the courts, turn j
loose the malefactor upon the country, to imbrue |
his already stained hands in the blood of another
victim.
Is it any wonder that murders, the most foul
and cold-blooded, are of weekly, nay, almost
daily occurence in our midst, when' those who
are charged with the execution of the laws are
thus remiss in their high and responsible duties 1 I
The Supreme Court lias decided that the law
of the State which defined the manner of carry- ■
ing arms, was unconstitutional, infringing that I
clause which guarantied to every citizen the I
right to bear arms—hence every man may now |
load himself with concealed revolvers and bowie I
knives, and go forth to shed the blood of his fel
low. And a Governor and two successive Leg
slatures engage in the work of respiting and
pardoning. In such a state of society, is there
any terror to evil doers, to him who commits ;
the highest crime known to our laws'! Certain
ly not. The greater the offence, the more cer
tain the prospect of escaping punishment. Ihe |
poor, penniless creature, who perchance to save
himself and his crying children from the horrors
of starvation, filches from his neighbor’s corn
crib or smoke house, is made to serve a good
longterm in the Penitentiary; while he who in
cold blood makes desolate the family circle, by
hurrying into eternity the father and protector,
is not only permitted to go unwhipt of justice,
but receives the sign manual of the Legislature
and Governor of the state, that it was, if not an
honorable, a justifiable act.
We have nojiatience with such authorities, and
the contemplation of the consequences of their :
action makes us feel sensibly the degradation |
which they are fast heaping upon the people and ;
society of the state, unless checked in their ca- I
reer.
M ssissippi Convention.
Although we have already announced that the
action of the Convention of the State of Missis
sippi, was substantially the same as that of Geor
gia, we deem it proper to place on record the res- i
olutions adopted by them by a very large major- .
ity. They have thus taken their position U)>on
the Georgia platform, on which we feel confident
every Southern State, even South Carolina, |
will sooner or later rally :
Tho people of Mississippi in Convention assembled |
as expressive of their deliberate judgment on tho
great question involved in the sectional contro- i
versy. between the slaveholding and non-slave
holding States of the American Union, adopt the
following resolutions
Unsolved Ist. That in the opinion of this Con
vention. the people ot Mississippi, in a spirit of :
conciliation and compromise, have maturely eon- i
sidereil the action of Congress, embracing a series
of measures for the admission of California as a
State into tho Union, the organization of territo- ,
rial governments for Utah and New Mexico, the !
establishment of a boundary between the latter
and the Slate of Texas, the suppression of the ;
slave trade in the District of Columbia, and tho
extradition of Fugitive slaves, and connected with
them, the rejection of tho proposition to exclude
slavery from the territories of the United States and
to abolish it in the District of Columbia, and
whilst they do not entirely approve, will abide by I
it as a permanent adjustment of this sectional con
troversy. so long as the same, in all features, shall
be faithfully adhered to and enforced
Resolved*. 2d, That wc perceive nothing in tho
above recited legislation of tho Congress of the
United States, which should be permitted to dis-,
turb the friendly and peaceful “ existing relations
between the Government of the United States and
the Government and people of tho State of Missis- ,
Therefore resolved. 3d, That in the opinion of this
Convention, tho propio of tho State of Mississippi
; wilt abide by the Union as it is. and by the Consti
tution of the United States without amendment:
that they hold the Union secondary in importance
onlv to the rights and principles it was designed to
j perpetuate. tha past associations, present fruition
' and future prospects, will bind them to it so long
! as it continues to be tho safeguard of those rights
i and principles. .
Resolved further. 4th. That, m the opinion of
this Convention, the asserted rights of secession
from the Union, on the part of a State or States, is
utterly unsanetioned by the Federal Constitution,
which’was framed to" establish, ' and not to de
stroy the union of iho States ; and that uo secession
can in fact take place, without a subiersion of the
I nion established, awl which will not virtually
amount in its effects and consequences to a civil
i revolution.
Kesolvvd further, sth, That, whilst in tho opinion
of tliis Convention such are the opinions and senti
ments of the people of tho State of Mississippi,
still violations of the right of tho people of the
State may occur, which would amount to intolera
ble oppression, and would justify a resort to meas
ures of resistance, amongst which, in the opinion of
the Convention, the people of tho Stale havedoiig
uated the following;
Ist. The interference by congressional legislation
with the institution of slavery in the States.
2d. Interference with the trade in slaves between
tho States.
3d. Any action of Congress on the subject of
slavery in’the District of Columbia, or in places
subject to the jurixdictioa ot Congress incompatible
’ * with the safety and domestic tranquility, the rights
and honor of the slaveholding States. ’
4th. The refusal by Congress to admit a new
State into the Union, on the ground of her tolera
ting slavery within her limits.
sth. The passage of any law by Congress prohib
iting slavcry in any of the territories.
fith. The’repeat'of the Fugitive Slave Law and
the neglrot or refusal by the General Government to
t enforce the constitutional provisions for the recla
mation of fugitive slav es.
' Resolved further, fitb. That in the opinion ot this
I Convention, the people in the recent elections have
been governed by an abiding confidence that the
said adjustment measures us Congn» would bo in
i forcod in good taith in every section of the land.
Resolved, further, 7th. That as the people of the
State of Mtariesippi. in the opinion of thsCoavt n
: tion. desire all further agitation of the slavery
. question to cease, and have acted upon and decided
all the foregoing questions, thereby tusking it the
duty of thS Convention to pa.* no acts within the
parview and spirit ot the law under which it was
called, this Convention deems it unnecessary to rc-
I for to the poonte for their approval or ifisspprovai
at the ballot box. its action iu the praMses.
1 Kreedvwl. sth. That in the opinion of this Con
vention, without intending to call in question the
i motii es of the members of the Legislature, the
I call of this convention by tho Legislature at its
Into extraordinary session, was unauthorized by the
people, and that said act, in poremtorily ordering a
convention of tho people of the State with
out first submitting to them tho question
whether there should be a convention or no conven
tion, was an unwarranted assumption of power by

institutions; an encroachment upon the rights'ot
the people, and can never bo rightfully invoked as a
precedent.
The Mississippian, tho organ of the ultra South

-1 nificantly remarks : “It is hardly necessary to say
I here, in dismissing the subject, that they do not
meet the views of tho State Rights party.”
The Whig Caucus-
Under the head of “ Congressional Canvass;’
which should have been “Congressional Cau
[ ruses,” we yesterday gave the most authentic re
i ports at our command of the proceedings of the
' Democratic and Whig Congressional caucuses at
' Washington. Since then, we have received,
i through the National Intelligencer, an official re
port of the action of the Whig caucus, which we
subjoin:
Meeting of the Whig Members.— ln pursuance
of public notice a meeting of the Whig members
of the House of Representatives was held on Mon
day morning last, at the Capitol.
Between fifty and sixty members being present,
on motion of Mr. Marshal, of Kentucky, the meet
ing was organized by the appointment of Mr Out
law, of North Carolina, Chairman, and Mr Moore,
of Pennsylvania, Secretary.
The Chairman having stated that the meeting
was ready to hear any proposition that might be
offered —
Mr. Brooks, of New York, said that ho supposed
one of the main objects of the meeting was to
consult as to the propriety of making a nomins-
I tion for Speaker of the House, and remarked that,
in view of the large majority against them, his
l opinion was that it would bo inexpedient to make
such a nomination, but that each member should be
left to exercise his own judgment when the time
for action arrived.
The views of Mr. Brooks seeming to bo univer
sally acquiesced in by the meeting—
Mr. Williams, of Tennessee, said that if there was
no further business before the meeting, he would
suggest tho propriety of adjourning, and according
ly made the motion’; which, however, he withdrew
at tho request of—
Mr. Evans, of Maryland, who said that he hoped
the meeting would not adjourn without taking
some action upon a subject of great and momen
tous importance to.tho country, and a question
which they would inevitably be compelled to meet
here or elsewhere ; that subject was tho Compro
mise measures of tho last Congress, which, as lie
understod, had been summarily rejected by the
Democratic party on Saturday evening last. He
earnestly hoped that the representatives of tho Whig
party there assembled, a majority of whom he was
pleased to see were from the non-sloveholding
States, would not hesitate or falter in their duty to
the country at this important period, but that some
gentleman would offer a resolution upon this sub
ject for the consideration and action of the meeting.
Mr. Haven, of New York, said that he was there,
for the first time,- in the capacity of a representa
tive in Congress, and that he camo there not only as
a Whig, but as a Union Whig, a Compromise Whig,
and in that spirit and feeling he had prepared a res
olution embodying in substance the principles of the
President's Message upon this subject, which he
would offer for the consideration of the meeting, in
the following words:
“Resolved, That we regard the series of acts
known as the adjustment measures, as forming, in
their mutual dependence and connection, a system
of compromise the most conciliating and tho best
tor the entire country that could bo obtained from
conflicting sectional interests and opinions: and that
therefore they ought to be adhered to and carried
into faithful execution, as a final settlement, in !
principle and substance, ot tho dangerous and exci- |
ting subject which they embrace.”
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania, said that he con
sidered a resolution of that kind unnecessary ami
injudicious, as it was tho same rock upon which tho
Whig party had split two years ago, and he there
fore hoped it would not bo passed.
Mr. Fowler, of Massachusetts, said that he would
not consent to be bound hj- tho principles of that
resolution ; and, in order To test the sense of tho
meeting upon it, he would move to lay it on the ta
ble
Mr. Marshall, of Kentucky, said he was not par
ticular about forms, and he was willing the test
should be applied in the form suggested by the gen
tleman from Massachusetts, indeed, he thought it
would probably be the best and most effective, since
he understood that it was the same form in which the
test had been applied in the Democratic caucus. It
would servo eminently well to indicate to the country
the real position of gentlemen when the matter pre
sented to each party same in identically the same
form, and since the Democratic party had voted down
a similar resolution, he thought that it became tho
duty of the Whigs to take their true position. If
the views of tho gentlemen from Massachusetts
were to prevail, tho path of duty was a plain one to
him.
Mr. Williams, of Tennessee, then moved the
previous question.
Mr. Steveus, of Pennsylvania, said he hoped the
motion would be withdrawn, to enable him to amend
tho resolution which was refused.
Tho vote was then taken upon the motion to lay
upon the table, ami the motion was lost by a deci
ded majority.
Mr. Stevens, of Pennsylvania. Mr. Fowler of Mas- i
saehusetts. and one or two other gentlemen, whose
names were not known to tho officers of the meeting
then withdrew.
Tub motion was then put upon the original reso
lution, which was carried with but two or three dis
senting voices ; and, on motion of Mr. Williams, the
meeting adjourned.
David Outlaw, Chairman.
Henry D. Moore, Secretary.
Mr. Haven, who moved the resolution, is the
member from the Buffalo District in New York,
who it will be recollected took the stump during
the canvass, and every where openly denounced I
Freesoilism and proclaimed his support of the '
Compromise measures as a final settlement of ;
the questions involved in the bills composing it. I
Gubernatorial Fustain-
Asa specimen of grandiloquent Gubernatorial
fustian, we copy the subjoined extract from the
late message of Governor Means, of South Car
olina, which is all his Excellency has to say in
reference to Federal relations :
On the subject of our Federal relations, I have
but little to say. You are fully aware of our
wrongs, and know that the Federal Government, i
which was instituted for our protection and welfare,
as well as that of the other States, has directed ali ■
its energies to the destruction of that institution :
ttnou ■v'kirh our very viti’lily lirpewte. You
that we have been deprived of every inch of
that territory which was won, in part by our blood i
and treasure: that we have been robbed by a tyran
nical and unjust government of the very graves
of our gallant countrymen who sacrificed their lives ;
that the “ Star-spangled Banner'* might float in |
triumph on the bloody fields over which it waved, i
You.X .iok - that our equality in tho Union has been
denii d. by the very act which excludes us from this
territory. You Z that the tide of Northern fa
naticism must sweep over us, depriving us of our !
prvjwity. and desolating our homes, unless it is stay- '
0.1 by tile bold efforts of freemen worthy to bo free.
The noble attitude of resistance which J supposed |
the State was about to assume, and which I have ’
directed all my energies to place her in, seem to have
been delayed or abandoned by the popular voice as
indicated by the result of the late elections, i can
not believe that this result has been founded in a
willingness tamelv to submit to our wrongs, but tn a
difference of opinion as to the best mode of redress,
sin-them. I know of no other mode to recommend
that which I have heretofore so earnestly advoea
ted, viz : That, as our equality is not aeknowleged
in the Union, wo should assert our independence
out of it. This course I think our pride, our honor. ;
our safety alike demand. Others, whose opinions
are entitled to respect, think differently—and it ■
seems tho popular voice has sustained them in their 1
opinions. It remains now for those who have de
feated the proposed mode of action, and who have
proclaimed their unalterable purpose not to submit
to our wrongs and degradations, to point out a bet
ter course. I, myself, have none to sugggeat.
Whatever is the action of the State, through her
constituted authorities, it is my duty to obey. But I
solemnly call upon you, as the representatives of
tho people, and as guardians of their rights, to re
member that since you resolved upon resistance, and i
ordere.l the State to be armed for defence, no single I
wrong of which you then complained has been re- I
dressed: no indemnity has lieen offered for the past,
no security for the future. That, under 1
the vaunted’fugitive slave law, it has cost, in some
instances, the owners four times the value of the
slave to recover him, and in others 7</c. But
above all. I call upon you to remember that tho
soldiers of the Federal’ Government are now sta
tioned on your coast, either to overawe or to eoercc
you. That the guns of Castle Pinkney, and even of
Fort Moultrie.i’wbich your fathers so gallantly de
fended and which were ceded to tho General Gov
ernment for your protection, are now frowning iq-on
Charleston. ’ Surely this monstrous insult, added to
our iqjuriv-s. will roust* the pride and patriotism of
our people. The dangers which t hreaten our country
call upon us to bury the party feelings which have
so unfortunately divided and distracted us, and to
unite all our etiergies againts the common enemy
of our institutions. The taunts, tho insults, the
abuse that is heaped upon our State, should cause
every true son of Carolina to cling to her with an
allegiance still more unfaltering. Gentlemen, the
honor and safety of our beloved State are in your .
keeping. May’God direct you in your delibera- !
tions.
Iu an executive message it should be the pur- i
pose of the author to state truth fairly and hon- ;
estly—that the people whose sources of infer- j
mation are not probably so great, may not be
deceived and misled thereby. This proposition, I
we presume, no intelligent mind will contro
vert. What then must be thought of |
tor who could deliberately prepare the above ■
extract ‘ Can it lie possible that any man of j
ordinary information can be so prejudiced as to ;
arrive at the conclusion that “the Government >
of the United States lias directed all its energies j
to the destruction of the institution of slavery ?” j
That “we have been robbed of every foot of the ;
territory" of Mexico and California! That
“ our equality has been denied ? That “ the
soldiers of the Federal Government have been
stationed on the coast of Carolina to overawe or
coerce her people !" Or that the “guns of Castle i
Pinkney and Fort Moultrie are frowning upon i
Charleston " Charity might ascribe these as» i
sections to deep-rooted prejudice or a desire for a |
display, however ridiculous, of that Sophomorean '
iustian of which his excellency is so prolific, but |
a sterner virtue might perchance designate them I
as the result of evil propensities, urged on by the 1
worst motive that could influence a man who i
pretended to aspire to the dignity ot a patriot. *
Let the people judge.

Correspondence of the Chronicle and Sentinel.
Washington, Nov. 29.1851.
Congress is about to commence another long
session which is rendered somewhat more inter
: esting by the circumstance that it immediately
precedes n Presidential election. The city is al
ready full of visitors, and there is no lack of
caucuses and electioneering for Speaker, Clerk,
and subordinate officers of the House. But the
great business of the session will be President
making ; and to a brief consideration of that
subject, I will confine my letter.
So nearly equally divided were the Whig and
Democratic parties at the two last presidential
elections, that the anti-slavery men held the bal
lance of power between them. In 184-1, they
gave the electoral votes ot the State of New
York to Mr. Polk instead of Mr. Clay, and
I thereby placed the Democratic parly in power,
i Failing to make a satisfactory bargain with Gen.
i Cass and his friends in IS4B, the anti-slavery
I party which had gained strength rapidly under the
auspices of Mr. Polk’s administration, threw the
whole weight of its influence in favor of the
election of Gen. Taylor, This naturally caused
his administration to be more anti-slavery in
feeling and policy than that of Mr. Polk. When
the present Executive become President at the
death of Gen. Taylor, he did not hesitate to plant
himself at once on the Compromise platform,
repudiating all sectional predilections, and ap
pealing to the patriotism of all parties to regard
the Adjustment, “as a settlement in principle and
substance— a final settlement — of the dangerous
and exciting subjects which it embraced.” In
stead of going to this wise union-policy a cordial
support, as a national and political compromise,
framed by the strong men of both parties, Clay
and Cass, Webster and Dickinson, Fillmore and
Cobb. Pearce and Foote, and a srore of others,
the metropolitan organ of the Democratic party
has constantly assailed the Administration while
laboring to execute the Fugitive Slave Law, to
I allay all popular excitement, and opposition to
j the same. The effect of this unexpected hostil
ity from a leading journal which professes to re
' gard the Compromise as a final settlement, has
been most injurious to the country, by encourag
ing both free soil democrats and “ higher law ’
Whigs to agitate for the repeal of the law which
requires and provides lor the extradition of fu
gitives for sei vice. Had the conservative demo
crats of the North stood shoulder to shoul
i der with the conservative Whigs, in place of the
abolition triumphs in Massachusetts. New I ork
and Ohio, by the election of such men as Sum
ner, Randall and Giddings, the Union party
would have carried these states by tens of thou
sands. Denied all support from conservative
| democrats and constantly attacked by the Wash
! ington Union, the President has been compelled
I to look to the opponents of the Compromise to
I shield him from the relentless and wanton as
i saults ol the pretended friends of this measure.
These unprincipled and unpatriotic partisans
: dared not how much they strengthened the abo
i litionists in Massachusetts and other States, by
! coalescing with them, provided they could there
! by place the administration in a false position’
i and secure to themselves the spoils of office. The
anti-slavery prejudices and parties at the North
are fostered by politicians who profess to be
Union Democrats. This is done from narrow
mercenary motives. They fear to join in a gen
uine Union organization, lest Fillmore, Webster,
Clay or Crittenden, should stand a better chance
of being elected President than any distinguish
ed democrat. With them, the honors and emol
uments of office are everything, and the peace
and harmony ol the country nothing.
What can be plainer to an intelligent mind
than the fact that, if the two old parties bring
each a candidate into the field in the next presi
dential race. Van Burenistn on the one side,
and Sewardism on the other will be able to dic
tate their own terms I And what is of infinite
ly more importance, they will not hesitate to use
the Administration, called into existence by the
aid of either. Few persons have had so good an
opportunity as the writer to study the temper,
feelings, and wishes of the American people,
| alike in the Northern and Southern States : and
j I do not hesitate to declare my belief that the
: Federal Government will be imminent peril if in
■ the insane sectionalism of the Freesoil demo
l erats and higher law whigs be not put down at
; the ballot-box. Nothing short of a bona fine
| union party can do this ; but such a party never
will be formed in States where the clause in the
Constitution relating to slaves is generally un
popular; unless the slaveholders form themselves
into a strong national party and refuse to co-op
erate with any political organization in the non
slaveholding States, that will not with President
Fillmore, regard the existing adjustment “ a set
tlement in principle and and substance—a final
settlement” —of the slavery question. For
slaveholder to unite with men who devote their
lives to efforts for the repudiation of all property
in persons, and the extinction of slavery, is sim
: ply to place fatal weapons in hands already rais
ied to smite them. It Is so clearly for the interest
; of the South and of the whole country, that an
I open and unceasing war be waged against
' all disunionists and mere geographical antip-
I athies, no matter where they are cherished, that
I do not regard the formation ot a National Union
Party as impracticable at this time. The people
of the slaveholding States have only to say the
word to compel the lines to be distinctly drawn
between their friends and enemies in the free
States.
If they make no distinction between these,
and allow such men as Daniel S. Dickinson, Mil
lard Fillmore and a host of others that might be
named, to be sacrificed because they are national
in their views and policy, the active friends of.
the South in the non-slaveholding States will I
soon be few and far between. Now is the time ,
for the South to act promptly, successfully, and
place a quietus on anti-slavery agitation lor many
years to come. It will never have so command
ing a position again in the future. The old whig
and democratic parties have been upheld so long
as they can be ot any essential service to the
country. Mr. Van Buren has utterly denation
alized the one party, and Mr. Sward the other.
Why. then cling to'names that have no meaning .
to the shades of things departed, and make a
ridiculous effort to galvanize the semblance of hie
into a dead and rotten carcass '

The above is a type of a very numerous class
of most active indefatigable propagandists ; and
the New York Tribune which comes nearest to
the ridicglismpbove set forth boasts of its seventy
five thousand subscribers. It is time that men
who have sotnething to lose should look beyond
the obsolete issues between whigs and democrats
and consider th* present condition od things,,
since steam has literally annexed the two hun
dred and sixty millions of people in Europe into
this Government The main obstacle -.hat ex
ists to prevent the formation of a powerful
Union Party, is the apathy of slaveholders in
reference to the revolutionary movements now
in progress all around them. It is true that con
servative democrats es the Buckanaa, Marcy and
Ca*» sciioui cling tenaciously to the name
“democracy" to continue the loaves and fish
es, which in times past it has brought to them.
But monos thia character are not invincible :
nor will they go with the Sumner’s and Quin
cy’s of Massachusetts; the Randall’s and Van
Buren's of New York, and the Chace’s and Gid
ding's of Ohio, one moment longer than they
receive Spoils’' as their reward. Radicalism
should not be a passport to office ; and it will not
be if conservatives cease to exhaust their strength
in fighting each ether, and expand their joint
power in putting down abolitionism and disun
lonism. and ultiaism of every kiwi. L.
Correspondence nf the Chronicle t\- Sentinel.
Washington, Doc. 5, 1851.
The Union newspaper of this morning, has taken
into full communion with the so called National
i Democracy, both tho fire-eaters of the South, and
the abolitionists of the North, who follow the lead
of Giddings, Rantoul and company. Disunionists
j ir both quarters of the country have agreed to agi
tate the slavery question libitum, as a political
right, and a geographical advantage. Major Jack
son and Preston King, Sumner and Meade, Cleve
land, of Connecticut, and Harris, of Alabama, are
the leaders of the new coalition between free-soilers
and seceders. Some of your readers would bo
shocked at the cordiality that subsists among the
opponents of the Compromise who attack the
measure, tho one because it concedes too much to
the South, and the other because it concedes too
little. Fancy Gidding/ confidentially pledging all
the anti-slavery voters in Ohio, to stand by the
most rabid agitators in South Carolina and Missis
sippi, to carry out the policy *of both sections ! If
these men have any Poling in common, it is one
of hostility to the Government as its framers organ
ized it. Extremes have met and coalesced, not
to preserve, but to destroy tho existing confederacy.
I regard such a result as not improbable, unless the
conservative elements cl the whole United States
can be brought to bear against the progress of revo
lutionary notions and feelings. The malady is too
deep seated and wide-spread in the body-politic to
bo cured by any political quackery. The greatest
danger lies in the unwillingness of conservative
Democrats to unite with W higs of similar views, and
form a National Union party, cutting oft all Red
Republicansand agitators, whether in the slave
holding or non-slavcholding States. Radicalism
and freesoilism promise so much in future, that
such aspirants as Buchanan, Dallas, Douglass, Cass,
Marcy and Houston, throw cold water on every
proposition to form a Union party. Their policy is
fairly indicated by the doings of the recent caucus
which laid the Comfiromise resolution of Mr.
Polk, on or under the tabic. The truth doubtless
is, that the frecsoilers and Southern Democrats who
oppose the adjustment, constitute a clear majority
of the party, and of course rule its destiny. Ail
cling to the name “Democrat as a passport to
popular favor, place and power.
Giddings makes an ostentatious parade of his
free Democracy ; and Mr. Seward is a ‘ Democrat
ic Whig.’’ All factions of every shade of opinion,
and from every quarter of the Union, which seek
office, agree in assailing tho President. No others,
however, are so bitter and vindictive as the aboli
tion Whigs. What is to be the upshot of the whole
matter, time alone can disclose. Little will be
done till after New Year's frollio is over. Perhaps
Mr. Foote may obtain a decisive vpto on his Com
promise resolution, which substantially is the same
as the one adopted in the Whig caucus, and re
jected in the Democratic caucus. It will be acted
on next week, and may form the auccleus of a Na
tional Union party on the Georgia Platform. Three
fourths of the New York W desire
associations more congenial than such as they now
have. Until the Fugitive Slave Law is allowed to
stand without opposition, there can be no peace in
States where slavery agitation is systematically
pursued. So far as this operates against the Adminis
tration, even the Compromise Democrats encourage
it. The Union newspaper is greatly to blame for
not standing by the settlement and its friends, in
good faith. In tho end, when the whole Compro
mise account is settled, that print will find that its
double dealing on this vital question, has been a
losing game. Xhe adjustment was never a party
measure ; and as nearly or quite half of the Whigs
were opposed to it, and fought the President in op
position to it. it was hardly fair in its friends to
join their political opponents in attacks of an execu
tive, who did so much, and patrioticly repudiated
all selfish and party considerations, to settle a dange
rous controversy. From the enemies of tho Com
promise both North or South, the Administration
expected hostility, but from its friends, it had a right
tosupposethat a different course would be pursued*

The President's Message.—The Baltimore
.American, a journal eminently distinguished for
ability and sound, liberal and conservative prin
ciples, thus introduces the Message to its readers.
Its length, not greater than its merits, pre
cludes a thorough analysis to-day; nor indeed is
an analysis required.
It is statesmanlike throughout—elevated in
tone and in spirit. The high regard which it
manifests towards the Law and the Constitution
will give it favor in the estimation of all good
citizens: for. we may call ourselves by whatso
ever designations we may choose politically, yet
in the end we must look to the Law and to the
Constitution as furnishing the only palladium ol
safety. In the trials and struggles which we
may be called upon to pass through, the conser
vative hold which we can maintain upon prin
ciples known to be good, stands and must stand
as our main reliance. Happy for the country
will it be, so long as there are men ill authority
who are worthy of their places and worthy of
the public conlidence in that regard. It is with
heartfelt pleasure that we can proffer this tribute
to Mr. Fillmore and his Cabinet, and long may
he and they live to deserve it.
T/w Conviction of IlWz.vmr.—At the recent
session of Thomas Superior Court, Judge Hansell
presiding, James Williams was tried, found guilty ot
murder, and sentenced to lie banged. This was one
of the most atrociou murders to bo found upon the
criminal eallender of any country. A man and his
wife, travellers, while sleeping at their camp, were
both murdered, their bodies hauled in a covered
wagon into tho woods, where they were discovered
about a week afterwards. His object wan to rob.
This is the same man who, it will be recol
lected, was arrested last winter in Hamburg
and brought to this city and committed to Jail,
whence he was taken to Thomas county for
trial. Here is another opportunity for the exer
cise of the sympathies and mercy of the Georgia
Legislature.
Mississippi.—The Senate, in Extra Session
I have elected the Hon. James Whitfield of
Lowndes county, President. Mr. W. will there
fore be the acting Governor of the State until
Gov. Foote is inaugurated in January.
The Flag of the Union classifies the present
Legislature thus:
u According to our estimate, tie Senate will
' stand 21 State Rights to 11 Union members.—
The House of Representatives 32 State Rights
to 66 Union members. This will give 10 ma
jority to the State Rights Democrats in the Sen
ate, and 31 majority to the Union members in
the House, or a majority in favor of the Union
party on joint ballot of 24. ’
Os the Senators 15 held over, of whom 12
were secessionists.
[communicated,)
Mr. Editor:— Will you permit me, through the
medium of your paper, to make a few suggestions
on‘‘Common School Education,” to the agents of
the “dear people."
Would it not be as well to give the present system
a fair trial, before throwing it aside to try another
perhaps equally as faulty ? The present system is
not, and has not been, carried out in the spirit of the
law. I believe it would be all efficient if the same,
amount of funds and taxes were provided for it, as
will be necessary to carry out the plan proposed by
tbo Convention ; while the expense of superin
tendents, school houses, and useless apparatus
(useless, because cheap teachers know not how to
use it) will be saved.
If but few children have access to schools under
the present system, it is because the rates of tuition
do not pay for the talent required. At least forty
pupils, attending during the entire scholastic year
arc necessary, at the present rates, ($3 per quarter)
to pay a man who is qualified to teach,. Yeiy few
neighborhoods have that number : many have half
of it.
Where there are country schools, the teacher en
gaged by a select few, the doors are seldom a|»ened
to the poor, partly because they cannot, or will not
buy the proper books, and partly because the col
lecting from the country is too often attended with
trouble and delay. I have known many cases of
each, and doubtless they are of constant ooourcrnce.
Let the present rates of tuition bo doubled, and
books supplied, and we will have teachers of the
proper calibre, and pupils to be taught. Teachers
are men and have use for money. Their services
should, at least, command as much as merchant's

on our market than to sustain the prices current
at the close of last week. The transactions of
the day comprised 280 bales at 6} to 8 cents.
Loss of the Steamer St. Matthews.
We regret to announce the total loss, probably,
of the steamer St. Matthews, of this place, on
Saturday night last, at the mouth of what is
known to sailors as the “Three Mile Cut,” near
Darien. She got aground in passing the “Cut,”
and instead of floating off when the tide rose, she
sank, the water flowing over her decks. She is
represented as lying badly, and as having been
very much strained. The clerk of the boat
writes that he fears she is a total loss. The pas
sengers and baggage were transferred to the
schooner Altamaha, Capt. Keen, w’hich happened
to be nearby when the accident occurred. Capt.
Keen as well as Capt. Blankenship, of the Wela
ka, rendered every assistance in their power,
and the passengers, as will be seen by reference
to their card, express themselves as under many
obligations to them.
We learn that the freight had been stowed as
far forward as possible before the rising of the
tide, and that the crew were busy in getting it
ofl’to the schooner, some three hundred yards dis
tant. It was hoped the cargo would be saved.—
The mail had been carried to Darien, and a fiat
was to have been sent dawn to take up the pas
sengers and baggage, with such freight as bad
been saved, to the same place, The furniture
had also been saved. Captains Blankenship and
Keen suggested to the agent here the propriety
of sending down an hundred empty casks from
the city, with the view of attempting to float
the St. Matthews off.— Savannah Republican, Sth

Augusta Market, Dec. 10.
COTTON. The transactions in this market, during the
week under review, have been to a fair extent, notwith
standing we have had one or two dull days. The mar
ket opened on Wednesday quiet, in consequence of buy
ers demanding a reduction to which holders refused to
submit to. On Thursday there was a fair demand, and tho
market was firmer. On Friday the demand continued
good, and after the receipt of the Humboldt s advices,
prices stiffened, and holders were able to realize an ad
vance of | a f cent on the prices paid the day previous.
On the afternoon of this day, a crop lot of about 180
bales, from the plantation of Mr. T. N. Pollain, Greene
county, brought 8J cents. On Saturday, the Niagara s
advices came to hand. The demand, during the day,
was good, and the sales to a fair extent at Friday’s pri
ces. On Monday, the market opened with a fair de
mand. which continued up to the receipt of the Pacific’s
advices, three days later, and noticing a further advance
in the Liverpool market of | a |d. —fair Uplands quoted
at s|d. These advices caused holders to put up their
prices J a j cent, which buyers being unwilling to give,
they, in a measure, retired from the market, and the
transactions, for the remainder of the day, were limited
Yesterday, (Tuesday) the market opened quiet, and as
buyers and sellers could not come together, w e heard
of no transactions. There has not been sufficient done
since the receipt of the Pacific’s news to establish quo
tations. We would remark, however, that most sellers
are asking 8 cents for middling Fair, and 8| a 8} for
Fully Fair, and so far. have refused to take less.

GROCERIES. —There has been a fair business done
the past week in the Grocery line, and merchants from
the interior, who brought cash with them (which is a
a very scarce article at this time) we have no doubt re
turned home, well satisfied with their purchases. Wo
have made some changes in our quotations this week,
as several articles, mentioned below, have an upward
tendency.
CORN. —The demand is still limited to immediate
wants. Prices tend upwards—holders are asking from
80 to 90 cents —the latter price by retail. Sales have
been reported to us of about 3.000 bushels prime Ten
nessee, to be delivered at the Georgia Railroad Depot,
at 75 cents—and in parcels, under 500 bushels, at 80c.
Seed Rye is dull at 90c. to sl, and Oats at 55 to G 2 cents
per bushel—the latter price by retail.
BACON. —We have still a slight stock on hand, but i
is all sufficient to meet the demand, which is moderate.
We now quote sides at 11 a 12j cents—principal sales a
11| to 12 cents by the small quantity.
LARD.—Not much enquiry—sales making by small
| quantity, at prices ranging from 11 to 12 c r *»ts.
COFFEE. —There is a fair stock on hand, and prices
are looking upwards—we now quote Rio at 91 a 10J cts
—a choice article will bring 11 cents by the single bag
SUGARS. —Good stock on hand—no change to notice
in prices. Our quotations will give a fair index of prices
MOLASSES. —There is a good demand for Cuba, and
prices tend upwards—good is scarce. The stock on
hand is light and most holders are asking 25 cents by
the hhd. By anction, a lot of 30 bbls, old crop, sweet
New Orleans, was sold at 31 cents.
SALT.—The Stock on hand is very light, notwith
standing some 3 oi- 400 bags have been received this
week from below. Most of that received, however, was
sold previous to arrival, at $1 20 per sack from the
wharf, and has been shipped to tow ns in the interior.—
Holders are reluctant sellers from store at $125.
WHEAT.—We still quote good Red at 90 a sl.
White is scarce. Our City Mills, however, are well sup
plied with Virginia and Maryland, and are kept busy in
grinding.
FLOUR.—There is a good demand for City Mills.
We now quote for white Wheat 6| to per bbl
as in quality, and for red at 5} a6. There is a good
supply of Northern and country on hand, but the de
mand for these descriptions is limited.
STOCKS.—There is but little demand for Stocks, and
little or none offering. The only sale we have heard
of was a lot of 13 shares Bank Brunswick, at public sale,
at an average of 1073. Some Georgia Railroad has
been on the market at par, without finding a purchaser.
EXCHANGE.—We have no change to notice in the
rates for Northern Exchange, which continue at J per
cent, prern. for Sight Checks on New-York and other
Northern cities. On Charleston and Savannah our
Banks are drawing at par.
FREIGHTS.—Our river is again getting low. Con
siderable Cotton has been shipped this week to Savan
nah and Charleston per river, at 50 cents per bale to the
former and 75 to the latter. The Railroad, w« Uilieye,
still asks $1 per bale to Charleston.
