Tlic following notice was f suited np bright and
early yesterday morning, on the rnoetiu house, and
on tue centre school-house, and on Bill Johnson's
store:
“None*— Democrats A rots* !
The Democrat* ofDowningvilli. t cithool distinc
tion tjparty, arc requested to meet at the centre
school-house to-morrow evening. Febrnarv 9, at
aeven o'clock, to settle the q ucstion about the next

Convention. Tire country expects every Democrat
to do his duty, and the whole Deiravracy of ail
parties is especially requested to attend. 'The in
terest of the country and the Democratic party is
at stake. Therefore corno one, come ail. And it
is expected that eve nr trne Democrat will leave ail
party prejudice* at home.
“Br order or the Democratic Town Committee.”
Pursuant to the above notice, the largest and
most respectable Democratic meeting over held in
Do wuingvilie assembled at 7 o’clock, and filled the
school-house chock fill).
Joshtea Doetniny, Esq., Postmaster, (Uncle Josh
ua,) was unanimously apjsjintcd chairman, and
Mr. Seth Stiles, (schoolmaster, , uas chosen secre
tary. Uncle Joshua took the chair amid the cheers
of the meetln. He's always been chairman of the
Democracy this thirty years. So he knew w hat he
had to upon," and come prepared for it.
Aunt Ktmiah had combed bis hair all down smooth,
and he wore his fur hat and go-to-tneetiii coat.
The chairman put on his spectacles and read the
uotice calling tne nieetin. and sa.\s lie, “Gentlemen
and fcllow-Dcmocrata, the important business we
have before us scorns to be to settle the question
about the next Presidency, and choose a Delegate
to Baltimore. As there is two branches to the bu
siness, which shall we take hold of first f”
lfodesr Briygs. — l move that we take the ques
tion of the Presidency first, as that comes first in
the notice, and I take it that is the main question.
Chairman. —ls that is your minds, gentlemen,
you will please
Jiill Johnson, fin a sliarn loud voice.) Hold on
there, Squire, or Mr. Chairman, 1 should say;
dout put that ere question yet, for I'vc cot some
thing to say first. 1 dont think tliat would he the
best way to go to work. I’ve no notion of taking
hold of the poker at tho hot end. Let ns go to
work and ohoose a Delegate first, while we art
cool, and go into the Presidency afterwards. We
are all quiet and unanimous now, and it is the
largest meeting of the Democracy that we’ve ever
had sinoe Old Hickory’s second term. It looks as
if the good Old Hickory times was coining hack
again, and the Democracy of the country will once
more lie on its legs. Now, I say, seeing we've got
into a little clear smooth water, ’ dont let us rile it.
The next Presidency is a ticklish question, and if
we liegin to stir it, may he it ’ll be lmrd work to
see bottom. Therefore, Squire, 1 move that wc
begin our business ’totlicr eend formost: and I
move that we choose Major Jack Downing for our
Delegate to Baltimore.
Chairman. —If tliat is your minds, gentlemen,
you will please to —-
.Solomon Jones, (trader at the up]icr corner, and
nntoral enemy to Bill Johnson, trailer at the lower
corner.) Mr. Chairman, I hope that motion wont
pass. I did n’t come here to he ketohed in an Ab
olition trap, and I wont ho if 1 can help it. 1 dont
want no underhand work, and I sliant take a step
on the road till 1 oun read on the guide-hoard,
where it's going to. Before wc choose a Delegate
I want to know what he is going to do. Let the
work bo chalked out beforehand, and then choose
the best man to do it. I’m a Democrat of the
Jackson stamp, but I ai-it no Abolitionist. I al
ways went for Jackson, and will always go for his
successors as long as they follow in fiis footsteps.
I always went for Van Duron as long its lie followed
in Jackson's footsteps; but when he turned Abo
lition 1 dont go for him no more, nor his son John
neither.
BiU Johnson. —Squire, I wish you to put toy ques
tion to choose Major Jack Downing to Baltimore.
If wo cant trust him as a good Jackson Democrat,
there is n’t a man in the I nitial States that wc can
trust. ll* wus always the old Gincral’s right hand
man. And ns for Abolition traps, 1 wish Mr. Jones’
itore was as free from rum-traps and gin-traps as
1 am from Abolition traps
.Solatium Jones, —Mr. Chairman, I call the gentle
man t« order. I want to know, before lie goes
any further, whothcr this is u Temperance meeting
or a Democratic meeting f
BiU Johnson. —lt is a.-, much of a Temperance
meuting as it is an Abolition meeting. It'Mr. Jones
brings in Abolition, |’vc jest us good u right to
bring in Temperance. And its for traps, sir, if the
gentleman undertakes to talk about Abolition
tru|is. I’ll jest let him know the war can he carried
into Africa. Yes, sir, the boot is decidedly on
totlicr leg. The traps is all on totlierside, sir; all
on the slavery side. I’m a good Jackson Democrat,
hut I’ve no notion of being kctclied in a slavery
trap. And that’s why 1 wuiitto send a Delegate
to Baltimore that tvu can depend upon, sueli as
Major Downing; one that’ll keep us out of the
slavery trap. For 1 tell you, sir, the South lias
got the slavery trap set all over the eountry, and
covered with a good iiumy pieces of sly tempting
bait. There’s u hit of nice-flsvored Buchanan bait
here, and a strong Cass bait there, and a little
Douglas bait further along, and a fat Houston b ut
out yonder, and on the middle of the pen there’s a
mysterious hit of Butler bait, nicely rolled in
meal, and what’s more, to make it easy to swallow,
it’* rubbed over with u little Van Huron oil. Now,
dr, I dont Hwulliir none of thorn baita, mid no man
dont get my vole for Piv*ident without lie c ,inos
right up to the chalk first, mid declares up and down
that ho i» n’t no slavery mail.
Doctor Rrigg*. Mr. Chairman, it acorns In mo
neighbor.lo'.instofi has got hold of the hot nolo/
the. polar, after all, nnd Inis fairly got to stirring
tho Presdency with it, whether wc will or no. So
'hat my motion to go into the question of the Pre
sidency first seems to bo carried without being
put to vote. Now, air, lam glad to see that Mr.
Jones and Mr. Johnson agree exactly in one thing,
however wide apart they nmy be on other points.
Thetis, that tlioy wont neither of’em move a step
in the dark, nor stir mi inch till they know where
they are going to. Mr. Jones wont vote for a Del
egate till tic knows hi* man, and ltuowa exactly
•.vhat that Delegate is going todo. And Mr. Jolin
*on wont vote for a Prcaiilent till lie knows his
man, aud knows he’s nil right mid is n't no slavery
nan.
Solomon June*. —Nor I wont vote for no Presi
dent till I know he'* all right, and is n’t no Aboli
tionist.
John Rohincon. Mr. Chairman, nor I wont vote
for no President that is n’t n friend to Cuba. If a

independence' 1 my I dont want a Piesidcnt
lint’ll bo dogging after’em and stoppb g of ’em.
Sargent «/<*•/ Omening. For my part, Mr. Cliair
nan, I’ve made up my mind not to vote for any
nan for President that wont go for Kossuth, clear
ip to the hub, mid stand ready to fight the Russian
Hear if he meddles with Hungary. 1 say freedom
* the right of every body, mid I’ll go lor ; and 1
vnnt a President that’ll go for it, too, up to fifty
onr forty and tight, if it can’t be got without. I
■•*11 that good Jackson doctrine. Old Hickory
would go foritif ho was alive,“and the. Democracy
must sec that he has a successor that’ll go for it
now. That's tho foundation of tho Democratic
principle ; freedom for every body.
Solomon Jonc*. Freedom for every body i* it ?
I want to know if the gentleman means freedom for
everybody south of Sinson nnd Dixon’s line! If
he doc*. 1 pronounce him n bloody Abolitionist
itid no Democrat.
Sarc/cnt Joel. I said freedom for everybody, and
I’ll stick to it. You can’t split a hair ; nobody
can’t split hair* now Mr. Calhoun's dead. And
von can’t split n principle ; and I suv the founda
tion of the Democratic principle is freedom for
everybody, and I’ll stick to it. And I want a Pres
ident that will carry that principle out straight on
ill side*, in Hungary and every where else. And
she* we choose our Delegate to Baltimore,
I shall move to give him instructions to vote for a
Kossuth candidate for the Presidency.
Solomon Jons*. Then, sir, you arc an Abolitionist
tud your candidate will lie an Abolitionist, and
the whole South will be agin you ; and you’ll find,
if you cau’t split hairs, you win split the country,
trud the whole Democracy will be torn to Hinders,
itid wc shall lose nil the offices.
Sargent Joel, I don’t fight for offices, I fight for
iberty ; freedom for everybody; that's my motto.
DeaconSnmc. 1 feci it mv duty, Mr. Chairman,
o caution onr Democratic brethren not to lie too
u*h. 1 think that we ought to have a President
dint will he prudent, ami not get us into any tang
ling alliances with other nations, mid will carry
out the safe neutrality doctrines laid down by
Washington.
Doetnr Rriga*. Mr. Chairman, we seem to he go
ing all round Robin Hood’s barn, but I don’t sec
** we are any where near coining to the point.
Now, sir, it socins to me the way we should go is
as plain as the road to tlio mill. Is this a Demo
cratic meeting t Ami are wc all Democrats I That’s
the question. If wo are ell Democrats, then, of
course, wc all want a Democratic President; and
we ought to fix ourselves on tlmt point, nnd not be
looking round for any other nails to linug our hats
on. Therefore, 1 move that we instruct our Dele
gate to Baltimore to vote for n candidate for Presi
dent that is a staunch Demo rat, und in favor.of
ill round Democratic principle*.
Chairman. Arc yon ready for that question ?
•If that is your minds, gentlemen, please
Solomon Jone*. Mr. ('heernmn, l oppose tlmt mo
tion, and before it's put 1 want to know what is
sound Democratic principle*. 1 want to know if
abolition is ono of’em i
Bill Johneon. Ami 1 want to know if slavery is
on* ot 'em t
Stinrent Joel. And I want to know if Russia’s
trnmplm down Hungary is one of’em.
Join Robi neon. And 1 want to know if Culm is
one of’em.
Dm con Snotr. Mr. Chairman, a* there seems to
lie some confusion and misunderstanding about
Democratic principles, and there don’t seetu to be
much chance of doing any thing till these matters
are settled' 1 move that Squire Downing, our ven
erable Chairman, shall make a plain full statement
to this meeting of all the sound Democratic prin
ciple* ; and then we shall have something to go
hy.
JThis was seconded all round, and Uncle Joshua,
oring a little, luid his spec* oil tlio desk, and got
up out of liis cnair.l
Chairman. Gentlemen ai d Democrats : .As for
the Ditnmoeratie principle, I view that it is very
important we should have a fair understanding of
it, for it is tho vital principle of the party, and
without it we can’t hold together. In the old Gin
cral’s time, if my memory sarves me right, wo bod
three principle* to go by : one wu* the Bank, and
oue wa* the Tariff, and ’tother was Internal Im
provement*. Tlmt is to say, them was the prin
ciples we had to fight agin the three Whig prin
ciples. And as long as we stuck to that we beat,
and got the offices. Rut the science of politic* has
advanced a good deal in these Utter year*, since the
Gineral's time, and so many new principles arc
crowded in, helter skelter, tlmt wo get kind ot
confused and mixed np. I don’t think they do any
good. Some of these new principles, instead of
bolding u* together, seem pretty likely to blow us
apart lute gunpowder. Rut the old J ackson prin
ciples work ’tother wav; they hold together like
wax, and give ns the offices. Therefore I think we
may safelv say we go agin the Bank, wo go agin
the Tariff 1 , and we go agin Internal Improvements.
And I think onr Delegate to Baltimore should be
instructed to stand on that platform.
Rill Jo/incon. I move that we amend that plat
form by adding that we go agin slavery.
Solomon Joner. I move, Mr. Clieermnn, that we
amend it by adding, that we go agin abolition.
Sargent Joel. I move that wc amend it by ad
ding that wo go agin Russia.
Chairman. Shtul we put the question on the
platform with the' three amendments added to it ?
Deacon Snotr. Mr. Chairman, if these amend
ment* are added, I think there's a number ot
other amendments that ought to be added besides,
particularly tho neutrality doctrines of Washing
ton T hercforo I move that wc adjourn this meet
ing for one week, and that tlie whole subject be
referred to a committee, to bo appointed by tho
Chairman, and that they report to the next meet
ing a Democratic platform containing all the sound
union pure Democratic principles.
[Deacon Snow s motion was put and carried, aud
the Convention adjourned.]
Aafe .from Major Jack 1 horning to Mr. Galet
and Staton. Mv dear old friend?, I've correctitied
the minntea of Secretary Stiles, and send it to vou
to publish, to let our Democratic brethren all over
the country know that we’ve made a rallv here to

awhile ago was dead,] and so fur we’ve met with
very encouraging success.

opening tho door to a system of speculation, by
which blocks would lie taken up of 80 or 40 miles
square ; which would load to the most disastrous
results. Besides, he said, it was not intended to

a wholesale scheme of plunder and speculation.

tion but to reply to them iu vindication of himself,
lie would therefore to morrow ask the indulgence 1

IN SENATE, Fib. 27.
Mr. Rhett addressed the Senate in reply to re
marks contained in the speech of Mr. Clemens,
delivered in tho Senate on tho 28d of last Decem
ber. lie said tlie reason why he had not rep’ied
before was his absence from the city, and his not
hearing of the speech till on his arrival here. He
read that part or Clemens’ speech in which he re
ferred to the applause, cheering and encourage
ment of Snuiner, Hale, Cliasc and Seward, upon
the occasion of Rhett making his disunion speech,
and that there was a sympathy in treason as well
as in knavery. Tiffs allegation he would disprove
not by a denial, but bv discrediting the witness.
He then called upon Messrs. Sumner and Chase
to say whether they had applauded or cheered him
on that occasion.
Mr. Sumner declared that he did not approve of
the speech.
Mr. Chase said that he had approved that part
which defended democratic State rights ; but en
tirely disapproved of that which breathed the
spirit of disunion.
Mr. Rhett resumed, and said that every one pres
ent knew the truth of the matter ; no one had ap
plauded or cheered, notwithstanding the. feenator
had declared thev had. He would leave it tol tie
country to decide how for a man thus discredited
could with decency and propriety arraign him, or
anv one else, for inconsistency or crime.
lie then read from some twenty speeches of Mr.
Clemens, during the veara ’49 and ’59, which he
maintained contained doctrines and sentiments
which uny Southern man could follow and adopt.
They were an affirmance of all he (Rhett) had ever
uttered upon the subject; and now, in 1651, the
Senator was a Union man—a swallower of that
pill, the compromise, which before he had de
nounced as a shameless outrage ; to be submitted
to only is to an act of infamy.
He then discussed the constitutionality of the
admission of California and the right of secession,
replying to the remarks of Mr. C. on these points.
lie then read a letter from some gentlemen in
Alabama, which contained statements that Mr.
Clemens was elected to the Senate by the Wnijp,
in consequence of his having given a pledge in the
Whig caucus that he would support the adminis
tration of General Taylor. He contended that he
had so fully discredited the witness as to show he
was not the proper person to arraign here, or any
where else, any man for want of honor or consis
tency.
Mr. Clemens attributed to the ignorance and
blindness of the Senator from South Carolina, the
distorted view he had taken of his speech. He
never meant, nor did anv one but the Senator sup
pose he meant, that the Senators named had made
open applause and cheers of the Senator. But,
after he had done, they advanced and shook hands
with him.
[Mr. Chase, upon being called upon, said that
he had shook hands with the Senator alter his
speech.]
The Senator states that ho had called him a
traitor and a knave ; thia alto was a forced con
struction of the speech ; but now, after all the
circumstances of the case, after his fussing over
the charge of knavery without taking anv notice
of it, it juatified him (Mr. Clemens) in adding the
epithet of coward to that of traitor and knave.
The Senator charged him with having calumni
ated him. Calumniate him! It is not in the Dow
s'of man to calumniate him. The Senator got up
in tlie Senate and proclaimed himself a traitor.
Who could calumniate such a man 1 He never at
. any time interfered in the Senator's private rela
tions—he had declined an introduction to him.
The personal relations of tlie Senator were beneath
his aim. Ho had read of a darkness in which vi
pers crawled among the multitude, hissing but
stingless. He always considered the Senator as
snch a viper, constantly hissing, bat possessing no
power to stirg.
Mr. C. then referred to the charge of having
made a corrupt bargain with the Whigs of Ala
bama to be elected to the Senate, and pronounoed
the charge a foul lie, unredeemed and unmitigated
by a single semblance of truth.
Without concluding, be gave wav to a motion,
and the (senate adjourned till to-morrow
HOUSE.
After considerable discussion the House laid the
Bounty Land Bill on the table bv a vote of 110 to
81. Alter which the usual motion to reconsider
and lay pn the table was carried ; and the bill is,
therefore, finally disposed oC
Having transacted some other unimportant busi
ness the House adjourned till Monday next.
Valuable Census Document.
Tits Hon. W. C. Dawson has our thanks for a
copy of the History and Statistics of the State of
Marvland, according to the Seventh Census, which
has been prepared by Mr. Kennedt as a specimen,
for the purpose of suggesting to Congress the best
mode in which the Census Returns can be arranged
to render them of permanent utility. The volume
is a large super royal quarto of ninety six pages and
contains many important facts and statistics, pre
pared, apparently, with groat accuracy, arranged
withjudgment and skill, and presented in a neat
typographical form. The carrying out of the plan
proposed, of embodying in a similar form tho re-”
turns of the Census from the different States of the
Union, appears to be an object of so much impor
tance, and so conducive to the proper preservation
of correct and valuable information and statistics
in relation to tho present condition and resources
of our own country, that Congress would in our
judgment be fully justified in adopting tho form of
the specimen to the extent of a /me thousand copies
—sufficient to supply the Press, the College and
other public Libraries, and a goodly number for
distribution by members of Congress among tliat
class of citizons who would appreciate such a work.
For a more general distribution, which would be
altogether more satisfactory to the great muss of
tho people, us well as muoh less expensive than the
usual plan, tables, showing tlie population and
the statistics of agriculture and manufactures,
Bhould, we think, be adopted as altogether prefera
ble.
Latf.b mou Texas. —By the arrival this morn

To restore lands sold for taxes and purchased by
the State to the former owners, upon certain con
ditions.
To provide for the payment of the debt of tho lato
Republic of Texas.
To provide for the erection of a State Capitol.
The Capitol bill appropriates one hundred thou
sand dollurs for the erection of a State House, and
provides for tlie election of two Commissioners
and a Superintendent, by joint vote of the Legisla
ture, to superintend the erection of the building.
On tlie subject of Indian outrages tho San Anto
nio Ledger of tho 12th instant says: We mention
ed in our last that tlie Indians lia’d stolen a number
of horses and mules, the property of Gov. Nelson
mid Captain Skillman, on tho Leona. Gov. Nelson
and five or six others followed in pursuit, and ta
king the trail, overtook tho Indians on the Llano,
and recovered the animals. Tho Indians proved to
be Wacoes. There were but three of them seen
by the pursuing party, one of whom they killed.—
The one killed they beliove to be the celebrated Big
Foot, who was supposed to havo been killed at
Austin in 1841. He had several scars on his body,

From the N. O. Picayune, 24 th <uU.
loiter from tlie Rio Grande.
By tlie arrival yesterday of the steamship Ynclit
wc have received Brownsville papers to tlie 14th
inst. In them we find very little news. We have
also the Bandra Afesicana, a paper published in
Matamoros. From this we should infer that anoth
er attack on that city is feared. The first Alcalde
of the place, Rafael Quintero, lias issued a procla
mation, in which he affirms that Curvajul is about
to renew operations, but says that the authorities
arc prepared to receive him,"and repel his assaults.
We learn, privately, that at the time tlie Yacht left,
Carvajal had gone up the rivor with the intention
of making an attack on Camurgo. lie had not yet
received the reinforcements winch he had been ex
pecting.
[Spec'ml Correrpondence of the Picayune.]
Brownsville, Fcb.l7, 1652.
A singular and daring robbery was committed
here night before last. Tlio U. 8. garrison was en
tered and u largo number of twelve pound balls
taken therefrom by tonic person or persons un
known. In consequence of the small number of
men now at this jsist, tho guard at tlio gate is re
moved at night to tlie magazine, some distance off,
and there was, therefore, no impediment to tlie en
trance of any person, cither by climbing the fence
or from the river in a boat. Some persons assert
that they were taken over into Matamoros during
tlie night, and point out a place on the opposite
bank of the river where the footsteps of a large
number of men or mules can bo plainly seen.—
Others say that however this may be, they have no
doubt that Gen. Avalos will receive the benefit of
them. Some wag lias stuck up a paper on the cor
ners of the streets culling upon tlie citizens to ap
point a patrol for the better protection of tho Uni
ted States property now in Fort Brown.
The merchants in Matamoros havo re-opened
their stores, and are giving in accounts of their
stoek to the proper officers for taxation. Most of
them say that they will make no more purchases if
tile law is not repealed, and are determined to sell
out as thst as possible.
The rumors with regard to Carvajal are becoming
more definite, and many confidently assert that bo
will commence the campaign in a very short time,
with a larger and better appointed force than be
fore. There is a singular scarcity of filibusters
about the streets for the last few days, and tlie emi
gration of families from Matamoros to this side lias
increased enormously. So great lias this become
recently, that the authorities on thc,othcr side evi
dently fear tliat tlie eity will become depopulated,
and to-dav tho following proclamation, from tho
first iVlcnlile or Mavor of tlie city, was circulated
about the streets of Matamoros:
Fellow Citizens :—Those enemies who had the au
dacity to constitute themselvos regulators of pub
lic opinion in tlio month of September last: those
enemies whom wo gloriously conquered in this
city, and who were afterwards defeated in Ceralvo:
tin so enemies who have sworn the extermination
of your country, propagating plunder ami desola
tion, intend to return to the charge: and not be
cause honor impels them to the attack, but be
cause they havo found no country open to them.
Nations arcalwtiys generous to'the stranger who
seeks their shores; but neither North America nor
any other power, even though it was an enemy of
Mexico, has had the necessary impudence to givo
any decided protection to individuals who rejoice
like Nero in tlio burning of tlioir own country.
Notwithstanding, the patriot liberate,re lmvo ro-nni
ted on tlie left hank of the Rio Bravo, protected by
tlie impunity guaranteed to secret fomentore of
discord; and from there diffuse alarm in our pa
cific population and terrify innooent families, since
they cannot tempt the foarloss defenders of the Re
public.
To depopulate this city is to ruin it forever; thiß
is the object of tlie worthy companions of tho trai
tor Carvajal—afterwards to take possession of the
whole frontier, and still later to carry their infa
mous colors to the peaks of the Sierra Madre; this
is the true end of these patriot*. But they are not
in sufficient numbers to attack us with the least
probability of success; they lack the elements in
dispensable for war, and it would boa triumph for
them to obtain tlie depopulation of this city solely
from the fear of their coming.
In October, 1851, we were not as strong as now,
and notwithstanding the cuemv received a terrible
lesson. Then it was impossible to fight them in
the open country, but now the necessary works are
constructed to defend the town beyond Vs bounda
ries, and there is no reason whatever that families
should be disquieted, and suffer all the evil conse
quences of a precipitate removal.
Those who had sufficient heroism to see their
homes burning, fighting without cessation with fe
rocious enemies, have the right to assure the pa
cific inlmbitantsof this eity tliat they need not aban
don tlicir homes, for now"they wilT not be given to
the flames; nor have the forces of the traitor Car
vajal sufficient valor to again approach this place;
nor will those who d fend it permit it to be taken,
until they have sacrificed thcirlives in honor of the
sacred names of Hidalgo and Morelos.
The means that Gen. Francisco Avalos will take
in favor of the tow n cannot be made public, but
we have very solid reasons for confiding in the
skill and valor of so respectable a chief; and so
lemnly promise to accompany him to the fight, un
til a complete triumph is achieved, or tliat glorious
death which I sought in October.
Kaeakt. Qiintero.
Heroic Matamoros, February 17, 1852.
An article in the Bandera Mexicann of the same
date also endeavors to rerassure the frightened in
habitants of Matamoros, by stating that Gen. Ava
los was about constructing fortifications out side of
the town, for the purpose of meeting the expected
filibusters. If what I hear be truo, Camargo will
doubtless be tlie first point of attack.
Later from Santa Fe.—The St. Lotus Republi
can of the 16tli ult., mentions that Mr. F. IE Au
brey, the distinguished Santa Fc trader, had arriv
ed there. He left Santa Fe in company with
Lients. Field and Ward, U. 8. A., on the 81st
of December, and arrived at Independence on the
sth inst. In his trip in he took a new route, even
varying from the one adopted on his last visit to
the States. Very intense cold was experienced on
the route, the thermometer standing on several
occasions twenty degrees below zero. At the Ar
kansas river the party crossed on the ice to an is
land, where they were compelled to encamp. Du
ring the night the river, in most of its channels,
froze to the bottom, and the next morning the men
cut through two feet of solid ice without finding
water.
At several places thev encountered snow to the
depth of eighteen inches. Notwithstanding thp
severity oftne cold, Mr. Aubrey has be-’n very
successful, having made the trip out and in without
any loss of stock. He has brought in with him a
large amount of specie, and will return about the
first of March.
On the rente the party was joined by a Mr. Mc-
Kenzie, and at the Rock Creek, near the Round
Mound, in Borne altercation, Mr. McKenzie shot
the servant of Mr. Aubrey, killing him on the spot.
He then made his escape and has not since been
heard from.
Mr. Aubrcv is now satisfied that an important
change can he made in the route to Santa Fe
by travelling south of the old road, from Red Riv
er to Rook Creek, and north thence to Turkey
Creek. A considerable saving can be made in dis
tance, and more, can be saved in the convenience
of travelling. By this route woodj water, and
grass can be had at stages of about eighteen miles,
whilst over the old route there is a distance of one
hundred and fifty miles without timber, and fifty
miles without water. Mr. Aubrey has travelled
over all this country and knows it intimately. The
crossings on the new route are easy The Cime
rone River cannot be crossed between its mouth
and its head, but a rood can be had by going be
tween its head and the Big Timbers.—A. O. Pic.
Philadelphia, Feb. 25.—The bark Paez, with
Porto Cabello dates of the 9th, lias arrived. The
country was quiet and mercantile affairs active.—
1 The D. S. ship Cyane had arrived.
i Thx Florida Indians.— Late advices from Tal
■ luhassee, informs us that Governor Brown, of Flor
i ida, has neither ordered out troops, as was report
ed some da vs ago, to protect the inhabitants resi
ding near the Indian territory, nor given authority
i to individuals reorganize eoimuuffes of volunteers.
If Capt. Jamogin has raised a company, it is pre
sumed that he did oo under the iguvisious of the
law for protection, in cases of stidden invaaion
■ and insurrection. It appears also, that there was
but little foundation tor the rumor that Capt. Jar
nagin had captured three Indian warriors and kill
ed tne fourth. He states in a letter, which we find
in the Tallahassee .Sentinel, that he and a party of
twelve men had been on a reconnoitering expe
dition to the Indian frontier—that they captured
One warrior, with his wife, mother, and child; the
two first of whom subsequently escaped —that
they came upon a small party of Indians, who
were out hnnting, and tired at one or more of them
without doing any injury, lie discovered no evi
dences of a disposition to provoke hostilities, un
less stealing cattle be considered an indication of
belligerent intentions.
We have received various letters from Florida,
reflecting upon the conduct of certain persons there
towards the Indians. Some of them express the
belief that these persons desire to provoke a collis
ion between the Indians and the General Govern
ment, in order to enjoy the profits which flow in
the train of sntlers, quartermasters, Ac. Conside
rable fortunes were made in this way, during the
Seminole war. As we know nothing of the Acts
upon which these eliarges are based, and do not
believe that any considerable portion of the people
of our sister State could be actuated by any such
motive, wc have withheld these letters from tlie
public. The subjoined letter, however, we pub
lish with pleasure, as it is not obnoxious ti i the
objections alluded to, and ftirnishes additional
reasons for the belief that there is no adequate
eause for the alarm which is said to exist in tlie
vicinity of the Indian frontier.
. 0 bog to be excused for expressing the hope,
m conclusion, that the government wul cause tlie
Indians to be removed to the West as soon as the
pnblic interests will justify it. Thoy are but the
remnant, it is true, of the warlike hands wlffch
once ravaged Florida; yet they are sufficient in
numbers to keen the whites in a state of constant
uneasiness, and to prevent the filling up of that
part of the stale near wlffch they are located. We
b doubt not that the government is us anxious as the
people of Florida to have them removed, and that
no proper effort will be spared to effect that object.
—.Savannah Republican.
Fort Myers, Fla., Feb. 11, 1852.
7o the Editor* of the Sacannah Republican: In
your paper of tho 16th January, I find a paragraph
relating to the Florida Indians, in which you stute
(upon the authority of the St. Augustine ‘Ancient
City ) that Billy Bowleg* is becoming somewhat
restless; that ho has applied for force to drive in
a number of “ outliors, ’ and tluit it is thought tliat
Billy is playingatrick of some sort. Now, Messrs,
Editors, Billy has not applied for troops for thut
or any other purpose. I will tell you of a trick that
he has played.
On tho 28th of January, a drummer boy went
out from this post to hunt and lost himself. We
used all tho means within our reach to find him,
bnt without success. In tho meantime, I had sent
word to the Indians, that the boy was lost. As
soon as Billy heard it, although his people were in
the midst of their planting, ho told them to stop
and go in search of the boy. They did so, and con
tinued the search for eight days, when thev found
him in a most deplorable condition, the blood run
ning from his nose and mouth, and his jaws so
stiff that he could hardly open his mouth. They
took him on their backs'niid carried him about six
miles to their homos, where the boy says they took
every possible care of him, giving him all they had
to eat, washing and dressing his sore feet, and giv
ing him a blanket and moccasins. When able to
travel. Bowlegs put him on his horse and brought
him, himself, to this post, a distance of four days
travel. The hov ia here now and doing well.
Now mark, Messrs. Editors, this trick was play
ed without the promise of a reward, besides losing
from their planting the eight days employed in
finding and Bringirigtlie boy into this jiost. * It is
true that after the boy was delivered up, Billy said
he hoped his people would be puid for their troub
les and loss of time.
Sonic people, Messrs. Editors, are always dis
posed to create strife, and arc never willing to
throw oil on the troubled waters. 1 am satisfied
that Bowlegs and tho mass of tho Indians, are
disposed to and will keep the peace. There are
some bad ones amongst them—this Billy admits,
and says thoy give him a great deal of trouble.
Have wo no bad ones amongst us ?
Respectfully, your ob’t serv’t,

Kentucky Whig Slate Convention.
Louisville, Feb. 25.—The Whig State Conven
tion of Kentucky, which assembled at Frankfort
to day, passed a scries of resolutions recommend
ing that the Whig National Convention be held in
Louisvillo on the 17tli Juno next. They also
adopted a series of resolutions of which the follow
ing is un abstract:
Resolved. That wo regard the sories of measures
usually called the Compromise Laws, as a settle
ment in principal and substance, a iinul settlement
of the dangerous and exciting subjects which they
embrace, and an adjustment by which we were
rescued from the wild and boundless agitation that
surrounded us, and obtained a firm, distinct, and
legal ground to stand upon. Tho Whigs of Ken
tucky will Bupport and maintain that ground as
the best, if not only means of preserving peace
and quiet in the country and maintaining inviolate
the integrity of the Union. The Whigs of Ken
tucky therefore cordially approve the firm and
patriotic oouduct of tho President of the United
States, in takiug caro that the laws everywhere
within the limits of his power aro faithfully execu
ted. They further declare that the Constitution
of the United States vests in Congress the power
of appropriating monies to open and repair har
bors, and remove obstructions from navigable
rivers in all cases where such improvements are
nocessury to the protection and facility of com
merce among the States.
Resolved, That the Public Lands having been
acquired by tho common blood and treasure of tho
people of the United States, are held in trust by
Congress for the common benefit of all the States,
and wo earnestly protest against the unjust policy
to which tho General Government seems to be
fast tending, of grunting them away to tho sever
al States in which they lie for nuy purpose what,
soever.
That in rcferenco to our foreign rela
tions, in the languago of General Washington, “it
is equally our true policy and our duty not to inter
weave our dostiny with that bf any part of Europe,
or entangle our peace and prosperity in the toils of
European ambition, rivalship, interest, humor, or
caprice—to cultivate harmony and n liberal inter
course with all nations, but never to quit our own
to stand on foreign soil.”
Resolved, That Millard Fillmore, treading as he
does in the footsteps of Washington, both in his
strict observance of good faith towars foreign na
tions, at the same time that he has promptly assort
ed and maintained our own rights; and in taking
care that the laws should all be faithfully executed
at home, has entitled himself to the gratitude and
confidence of the people o? the United States as a
wise statesman, a true patriot, and honest man,—
and while the Whigs of Kentucky will cheerfully
unite and do their utmost for any nominee of tho
Whig N ational Convention, we present him to tho
consideration of that body as a statesman of such
approved prudence, experience, firmness and wis
dom as would unite tho entire Whig vote of Ken
tucky; and that in approving the entire official
conduet of President Fillmore, we deem it a fit oc
casion to express our satisfaction nt the manner in
which our distinguished fellow-citizen, John J.
Crittenden, has discharged liis responsible duties
as legal adviser of tho President in all things per
taining to his official station; as an able lawyer,
eloquent advocate, pure patriot, and enlightened
Statesman, Kentucky delights to honor him, and
see him honored as one possessing the entire con
fidence and love of the people of his native State.
Resolved , That our deopest solicitude is excited
by the present precarious state of health of our il
lustrious citizen, Henry Clay, whose counsels and
patriotic self-devotion have heretofore saved his
country from so many imminent terrors, and we
earnestly pray that he may be long spared to
receive and enjoy the outpouring gratitude of a
grateful people.
The resolutions having been rend and briefly ad
verted to, by Gen. Leslie Coombs, were unani
mously adopted.
The Committee appointed for the purpose sub
mitted the following nominations, which were
unanimously confimcd:—
Electors for the Stato nt largo—James F. Robin
son, of Soott county, and Wm. Preston of Louis
ville.
Delegates to tho National Convention—General
Leslie Coombs, of Fayette couutv, Hon. Joshua E,
Bell, of Boyle county, Col. John S. Williams of
Clarke oounty, and tho Hon. Wm. Triplett, of Ds
vies.
A Tribute of Respect.
At a Meeting of the Phi Kappa Society of the Uni
versity of Georgia, held February 16,1852, Mr. Hayshaving
communicated the painful intelligence of the decease of
WM. C. HAMMOND, of South Carolina, a member of this
Society, and of the Sophomore Claw of the College, the
following gentlemen were appointed a Committee to pre
pare Resolutions expressive of the sense of the Society un
der their afflictive bereavement: P. H. S. Gayle, J. M.
Turpin, D. M. Banks, W. R. Pickett, and J. R. Hays.
Subsequently the Committee reported the following—.
That the way of death must be trodden by all, is a de
claration which we find in the mouth of a heathen poet, as
well as of a Christian teacher. An Almighty decree has
ap]K>inted unto men “ once to die.” When the object for
which existence was given, has been accomplished, or when
the powers of Nature have been tasked through a protrac
ted series of years, we expect that the weary wheels of
life will stand still, and that the pilgrim will be summoned
to his repose. But when life is extinguished apparently
before any great object has been attained ; when the co
lumn which the Great Architect had commenced is left rude
and unfinished, reason is confounded, and we cannot ex
plain the Providence which deals thus mysteriously with
the beings whom it has created.
Such are our emotions on learning that our beloved friend
and fellow member, W.C. HAMMOND, is no more. The
dews of death have gathered upon his brow, whilst the
flush of youth was upon him. The vital current has been
chilled and arrested, whilst its vigorous flow was promis
ing a long continued circulation. A short time ago and he
was seen mingling with us in the scenes of literary and fra
ternal intercourse, and now, oh! too soon, he sleeps in
death.
We remember his gentlemanly bearing, his generous tem
per, and his conciliatory spirit. We recall the numerous
and noble qualities which endeared him to us as a friend.
We think of the gifted intellect which made him one of the
ornaments of our Society, and we cannot repress a sigh that
so much excellence has been taken from uarth. Though the
Being who has afflicted us is mysterious, He is wise, just
and merciful, and it becomes us to bow in submission to Ilis
inscrutable decrees. No expressions of grief can re-ani
mate the form which has returned to dust; yet as we find a
melancholy satisfaction in recording our emotions; there
fore,
R&solxed, That we have heard, with the profoundest
sorrow, that our beloved friend and fellow member, W. C.
Hammond, lives no more on earth.
Resolved, That we tender to those who have been most
deeply bereaved by his removal, our sincerest sympathies,
assuring them that we mingle our tears with theirs over the
loss of one who was endeared to us by so many virtues.
Resolved, That aa s feeble expression of our regard for his
memory, our Hall be hung in mourning, and crape be worn
upon the arm for thirty days.
Resolved, That on the celebration of our anniversary
we have our banner and badges covered with crape.
Resolved, That we have these proceedings published in
the University Magazine, and in the Chronicle k Sentinel,
and Republic, of Augusta, and a copy thereof be sent to
the family of the deceased.
Repaired, That these Resolutions be recorded upon the
minutes of our Society. P. H. S. GAYLE, ]

The following communication was received from the De
mos thenian Society:
Dkmorthesias Hall, Feb. 19th, 1852.
But a few short months ago the Destroyer entered our In
stitution and plncked away one of the most gifted and be
loved of our number. Our hearts experienced a melancho
ly satisfaction in paying an humble tribute to his excel
lence. Again, we are called upon to deplore the premature
removal of another fellow student, whose noble qualities of
head and heart commanded our highest esteem and affec
tion. We have received the painfhl intelligence that W. C.
HAMMOND, a member of the Phi Kappa Society, and a
Student of the Sophomore Claw, is no more. If it be true
M that those whom the gods love die early,” we can under
stand how it is that one so amiable in all his deportment, so
faithful in his friendships, so generous in his temper, and
so conscientious in the discharge of duty, should not be
permitted to remain long in a world like this. But when
we contemplate a bud so promising, nipped by the untime
ly frosts of death —a sun which betokened so much splen
dor, going down, while it is yet day, we are constrained to
feel that ours is no ordinary bereavement. The terrible
calamity has been inflicted by Him, who, at his pleasure,
turned man to destruction, and says, 44 Return ye children
of men.” Whilst we bow to that inscrutable Providence,
which has so early revoked the life it gave, we cannot be
insensible to the severity of that stroke which has deprived
us of a beloved and estimable associate. Though the pro
foundest grief cannot recall the departed spirit, yet, as the
sorrowing heart is in a degree relieved by its expressions—
Therefore,
Rejoiced, That we tender to our brethren of the Phi
Kappa Society our sincere condolence with them on this
occasion.
Resolved, That we express our unfeigned sympathy with
those who, related by tender ties to our departed brother,
are most deeply lacerated by the afflictive Providence.
Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be transmit
ted to the Phi Kappa Society, and to the relatives of th«
deceased. JOHN C. WUITNER,

e found some two hundred yards from the house,
almost senseless, with her head dreadfully bruised
» and cut with more than a dozen frightful gushes.
1 and the physician reports tliat the skull is fractured
jj in several places. She has since revealed the per
petrator of the inhuman deed, who is her uncle,
James Hembree, and lie is now under arrest. We

Wm. M. Johnson, No. 112 Second-street, Pittsburg, says that he had a
SEVERE ATTACK OF RHEUMATISM IN IIIS RIOIIT HIP.
After suffering some ten days the left hip nlso became affected, and he waa obliged lo “ lay up." The pain was constant
and excruciating. He had heard of the wonderful effects of the Mustang Liniment In Rheumatism, and determined lo
try It. One small bottle, thoroughly applied, performed a perfect cure I 11. 11. Meakings, 189 Walnut-Street, Cincinnati,

days was able to go about his business, perfectly cured.
SALT RnEUM.
Mrs. Anna M. Pierce, wife of John Pierce, Plumber, on Market-street, had been afflicted for many years with this trou
blesome and obstinate affection. The disease was confined, principally, to her hands, which would become very much In
flamed and swollen, producing almost intolerable itching and burning. After a few days, this erysipelatous Irritation would
subside, when the skin would peel off and dry in scales, and at every joint

consequence of this drying and contracting of the muscles, the hands were nearly closed, and the ends of the fingers drawn

Liverpool Markets.
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 11.— Cotton. —For the past three days
since the sailing of the Cambria, the market for this article
has been rather depressed than otherwise, with only a lim
ited inquiry from the trade. The Asia arrived on Saturday
evening, her advices hail the effect of causing holders to of
fer their stocks very freely, which being in excess of the de
mand, gave buyers some slight advantage in price, partic
ularly in the middling and lower qualities. This was more
manifest yesterday morning, but before the close of business
and upon the receipt of more favorable accounts from Man
chester than was generally expected, exporters came for
ward and by their operations the sales were enlarged, which
imparted more tone, and to-day the market opens with a
fair inquiry and at steadier rates.
The sales on Saturday were estimated at 6000 bales;
Monday 7000; yesterday 7000; and to-day will probably
reach 8000 bales, (2000 speculation and exi>orts;) of the
above about 21,000 are American. Speculators and export
ers, (but principally the latter,) have taken about 7600 boles,
of which about 8000 Are American.
Import for same time is about 18,000 bales, principally
American. East winds having apparently set in, arrivals
are likely to be restricted for a while.
Prices to-day—Fair Orleans 6# ; middling 4% ©4# ;
ordinary 4(& 4% ; Fair Mobile 5; middling 4% ; ordinary
4 ; Fair Atlantic 5; middling 4 % ; ordinary 4. — Wright ,
Qtvndy da Co.
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 10.— Cotton.— Since the sailing of the
Cambria, there is little change to notice in this market
Yesterday it was quiet, and leaning in favor of buyers: to
day a good export demand for the il middling” qualities of
American and Surats lias given it more tone, and last Fri
day’s quotations are obtainable for all but low leafy parcels,
which are #d. lb lower. The advices per Asia are read
as the interest of parties lies; the majority, however, in
cline to the opinion that the crop will scarcely prove as
large as early estimates made it: and each consumer, ex
porter, Ac., is anxious to have a supply before an advance
takes place, which, sooner or later, seems almost inevitable.
—James McHenry.
LIVERPOOL, Feb. 11, P. M.—Cotton.— About 27,000
bales have been sold during the last four days, and to-day
probably 10,000 bales will be disposed of, yithout, however,
any change in quotations.*
In Manchester yesterday, there was an active business in
goods and yarns, the latter at some advance in price.
SAVANNAH, March I.— Cotton. —There was a fair de
mand for Cotton, the transactions footing up 1,401 bales, at
prices ranging from 6# @ 8 cents. Prices about the same
as on Saturday.

CONSUMPTION CAN BE CURED.
DR. BASTING’S COMPOUND SYRUP OF
NAPHTHA.—The wonder and doubt felt by the Medical
Faculty when Dr, Hasting proclaimed the curability of Pul
monary Consumption, by tiie use of Naphtha as a remedial
agent, has now, after eight years of trial, settled down Into
a deep conviction that there are few or no cases in which
Consumption cannot be cured by
DR. BASTING’S COMPOUND SYRUP OF NAPHTHA.
In every case In which it has been tried in England or the
United States, It has been followed by immediate relief and
ultimate cure. In the Blenheim Free Dispensary, under
• tiie charge of Dr. Hastings, during five years that tho
Naphtha has be«n in use, there ha* not been a single death
from disease of tho Lungs, while previously patients had
died almost every week. In incipient Mages of Consump
tion the effect of the Naphtha gyrup is almost miraculous,
and a cure effected In an incredibly short space of time. In
the more advanced stages, and even in the third or last
dreadful division of this hitherto incurable disease, Its es
- feet is equally wonderful. This period It marked by tho
expestoratlon of the tubercle* in cheese-like particles,
mixed with pus, mucous, blood, Ac., and most generally ac
companied with diarrhea. On administering the Naphtha
gyrup, the formation of the tubercles is almost instantly ar
rested, the foreign matter thrown off, the tubercles already
formed are destroyed, and the breathing Immediately be
comes easier, and the patient, on the third night after first
taking the Syrup, is often able to enjoy a quiet night's rest
—a thing unknown for weeks previously.
THE TRIAL OF A SINGLE BOTTLE
is all that is asked by the Proprietor to prove this medicine
to be all that has been stated.
BRONCHITIS.
Bronchitis has In this remedy a sure and speedy cure,
and Is acknowledged by all the medical faculty to be with'
out a rival in the speedy cure of Bronchitis, both acute and
chronic.
COUGHS, COLD AND CATARRHS
yield to the influence of the Naphtha Syrup, often in the
short space of forty-eight hours.
NIGHT SWEATS.
This distressing and weakening accompaniment to Con
sumption and attier disease*, is instantly stopped by the use
of the Naphtha Syr up.
SPITTING OF BLOOD.
The most severe attacks of Spitting of Blood have Inva
riably been stopped within the short space of thirty mi
nutes, and all disposition to recurrence of the same pre
vented. In conclusion, the Proprietor warrants the Naph
tha Syrup, to be not only the best but the only certain cur*
for Pulmonary Consumption, and aU other diseases of tho
Lungs.
None genuine without the written signature of M. A. F.
HARRISON, on the wrapper of each bottle. (1 per bottlo
