Q,rr<tpondfnct of the (Aror.iele <£ Sentind. Progress in Trotia County., La Grande, Or., Mny 16,15'»2. Notwithstanding the “pressure of the times," tlic low grice of cotton, anil tho scarcity of p ro ' visions, there is a spirit of enterprise alive in this county worthy of commendation. The LaGrange and West l'oint Railroad is being posited to ite terminus as rapi diy as possible, and will h*, > n a few day.% completed to within about eighteen r :Ic* of led range. Running in connection’with this road, is a daily line of stages owned by Mr. Biadfiehl, from LaGrange to Columbus, making tho time through to that point from Atlanta about two hours lee* than by the Barneiville route. The people of Troupe county are also contemplating a railroad connection with Columbus from West Point an l it is not improbable, from the spirit with which they engage in enterprises of public Utiiitv, that tho work may bo effected. . Having obtained a charter from the last Legisla ture, the citizens of LaGrange and the surround ing county, arc fast filling up ths subscription to the stock of a Bank to b* located in LaGrange. Pome Ji V dO to #12,000, have already been sub scribed within a few days, and one hundred thou sand dollars worth of stock, it i« thought, will be taken in time to place the Bank in operation for the fail business. • The local improvements of LaGrange are com mensurate with the public enterprises now pro- Sir. Montgomery has nearly completed the wali* of s massive stone Cliapel, or Female institute, the ultimate cost of which can hardly fkll short of #31,<500 ; while Mr. Baoon has lately completed an edifice for similrr purposes, tasteful ly and beautifully adorned, hut les* durable in the material of it* construction. In addition to these, are improvements of a more private character, such ns stone, and other stores and dwelling lion*** wor thy of notice a*illustrating the character of n peo ple determined, by the exerciss of an indomita ble will, to breast and turnback the current of ad versity, subtcrring to their own good the very eireumstauccK which toothers might prove an cyi!. In this connection I must not fni! to notice tbs large and complete Tannery of Got. Win. Fannin, on the edge es town. The politenesa of Gol. F. afforded me the opportunity of a hasty glance around i 1* establishment and an examination of the manufactured and unmnnnfaetured material. Negro shoes being with us an article of prims nc «*-sity, 1 have frequently contrasted with minute attention the difference between those of South ern Kiel Northern make, and in no ipstanee have 1 found tile Northern shoe equal ia quality to the Southern. The quality es shoe made at Gol. Fau ltin'* factory, is Ibr superior to anything imported from tho North, and will prove, I have no doubt, far more economical in the end, though costing a trilling more in price. Col. F. inform* me that ho completes at this establishment, find puirs of shoes per week. I wish your Augusta merchant* would mako an assort to introduce the sale of Georgia made brogens, is lien of the North ern article which now prevails. In no part of our (state is an improved system of cultivation more apparent, than in in tho neigh borhood of JaiGrangc. I not only witnessed the results of this improvement, but was most agreea bly entertained with Barrative histories of the molut operand!. The plantations of Messrs. A. B. and Win. Irennln, Hugh A. Haralson, Hon. K.T. Hill, Jos. Herring, Ksq., A. Hemphill and others, afford ample testimony of enlarged, liberal and intelligent processes es culture, and cannot fail to exercise a beneficial influence upon others, how ever prejudiced they may be against a system which does not shame to acknowledge its indebt edness to agricultural “books” and sound reaton ing faculties. In paying a just tribute to tlio de ear ring, I do not wish to bo understood as claim ing for the farmers of Troup county generally, a superiority over those of other portions of the Butte ; many of them arc a long way behind the age, and unloss tho Almighty endow thorn with a clearer conception of their responsibility as ration al, reasoning beings, 1 am fearful they over will be. liespectfnUy, *o.

Why tub TEnt'A^TKi'Ki’ Thwty was Etnmit.— t! A special dispatch from Washington to the New ti York Herald, states, on the authority of a letter from a distinguished gentleman in Mexico, that, p previous to tlio rejection of tho Tshuantepc# treaty, „ it had born intimated te Mr. Letcher, the American h minister, that tho Mexican government wss willing t to grail’ tho right of way across the Isthmus of p Tohu mtopoc to tlio New Orleans Company, if they t would cense, to press tlio (laray grant claim—a claim e w liieli the Mexican peoplo were unanimously op- t posed to. on the ground not only of its expiration, g bill that it was obtained by bribery, and conveyed a vast quantity of land—ton longues on both sides j. of the road—for the purpose of solonitatian. Mr. ( Letolicr informed the President of the Tehuantepec f Company of this intimation, but received ns an- , awer from him, and, immediately on the rejection j oftlieTehuantcpoo treaty, Mr. L. addressed the j, Moxiean government the ultimatum of the govern- | mont of the U. States, which declared that the Te- , iiuantepoc treaty, recognising ttie validity as the j Garav grant, nnist iie confirmed hy tlio Mexican government. No other arrangement would for a T moment he listened to. Under these circumstan- ’] ecs, President Arista addressed himsoli directly j to President Fillmore, of which the correspondent r aavs:— Oh.

St***. I From tho X. O. Pitapune, 14/A inti. toller from Mexico. Br the arrival of the brig American, Capt. Ma loney, from Vera Cruz on the 6th inst, we have : dates from the city of Mexico to the 4th inst. ‘ Great cxeitcmeul had been created in the cagi i tal br tho pardon granted by the Congrcs* to I the three assassins of Dr. Eeistegu. The Con- Igress was sssailtd on all hand* for this act of weaknes-; tho journal* unanimously speak of it a* a direct attack on society, and the respectable I citizen* of Mexico had nearly all purchased arm* i to defend their persons against the horde* of bandit* whom thi* pardon lias almost legally au thorized to commit murder. A conspiracy against the Government was dis i covered about tlic 24th ult. by two of the con spirators revealing the plot. Dr. Betancourt and several ethers implicate i w ere arrested. A newspaper published at Jaiupa, announces that the Government has ordered the command ing general in the State of Vera Cruz, to proceed with hi* aid* and a body of troop* to the bar at the mouth of tho river Coatzacoaico?, ta finish the ftrtifica': >n»already commenced there. Thecause a-signed i*, the fear of an invasion of the Isth mus of Tehuantepec by a body of American*, wiio under the name of “ laborer*,” and to the number of 500 men. are to leave New Orleans un der the command or guidance of the masters of I the Baravia and Almagrcs, which vessels were i seized at the mouth ol the above river some j months ago. ! A quarrel has risen between the Legislature I of the State of Vera Cruz and the Mexican Con- I gress. The former insists upon a greater reduo- ! tion of the tariff - of 1845 than the 10 per eent. a!- ! lowed by the national Senate. The Senate, will alios thi* reduction of 10 per cent., but refuse* to do aw*_v with any of tho duties. The lower lions# of Congress, on tho contrary, is in favor of abol ishing some of the duties. The question was not i I fettled. Congress would undoubtedly soon pas* : I a law authorizing tho States on the Northern and j Northeastern frontier to combine for ths purpose of the common defence against tho inroad* of tho hordes of Indians. Tbe States of Zacatecas and Durango, besides being ravaged by the savages, are suffering from tho visitation* of a general | famine. A subscription lias b<en started in the city of * Mexico for the relief of the people of Durango, i Scnor Majica, Governor of trio State of Puebla, has again resigned. The bridge of tho “ Plan del Rio,” destroyed during the last war, is to be rebuilt at Government expenses. On the 24th nit., the day the telegraph wa? to commence working between Vera Cruz and Orizaba the wires were cut. Good omen for the f uturo 1 The line will reach the city of Mexico during the present month. A little steamboat, called the Fsperanza, is run ning between the city of Mexico and Chaleo. A conducts ot #1,400,000, under ti.e escort of Gen. Merilza and troops, left the city of Mexico for Vera Cruz on the 24th ult. Atilt. Later from Mexico'. — The brig Tehauntc pco, (.’apt. Brown, arrived this morning from Vera Ctnz, which port she lett on the 7th inst. * On tbe 6th inst., in tho morning, a Mexican man-of-war brig ana three cutters left Vera Cruz with troops, bound for the Contzaeoakoa riter and the Isthmus of Tehauntepec. The Mexican steam ship State of Mexico was taking in powder and gnus forthe same destination. The great bone of contention, the Tehauntepec road, as we learn from a passe, gcr by this arrival, was still being discussed in Congress. They demand #2,000,000 for the right of way over the Isthmus. Wo are also informed bv a passenger who con versed on the subject with the American Consul at Vera Cruz, on the morning of the 7th inst. that the mass of the lower orders of tlic Mexican people are opposed to the confirmation of the Tehaunte pee treaty in any form.

I have hardl v time to write you u line before the mail bag per the clipper ship Maria, tor New York, closes. As to news, I have very little te communi cate. Tho weather continues* very hot and dry, and consequently tho yellow fever is making fear ful havoe, particularly on board the shipping. No vessel enn remain in this bay, wliilo th* present state of tiling* exists, more than five days without getting the fever on board—consequently there are not, and in fact there have net been for weeks, any es our naval ship* in this port. They are mostly at Montevideo. Some es the Ameriesn ship* have suffered most severely, and I have known es several that eouhl not muster hands sufficient to get out of the bar- • bor. The American ship Victor sailed for Now Orleans about a fortnight sir.ee, with only two tnen able to do duty. Many others have been hero, as it wore, entirely deserted. The Swedish brig Dolphin Ins lost three consecutive captains within tho past two months, and the berth is now vacant. I notice in-hound a fine ship, the “Catnips,” iso days from the Snndwii-h Islands, for New Bedford, with a cargo of oil. She sails to day for home. We have also in from New York, in s passage of ES days, the ship Racohound, bound for San Fran cisco, with 27A of tha most filthy rnudies that it •ver was my fortune to behold. I hope the,y will get away before they contract this fever, for it would make torrible work among them. For the past day or two, w# have had very fine showers, which wo hops will occur with sufficient frequen cy to break up this pestilence entirely. Dralh ofMra. Amelia 15. Wt'lhy. It is with very sad feelings xve announce the de cease of Mrs. Amelia 15. YVclby, the celebrated poetess. She died in this city yesterday morning, at the residence of her husband, Mr. George Wol by. Mrs. Welby was a woman of trne genius. In deed we never knew on# to whom nutur* bad been more partial in th* gift #f song. At a very early psriad of her life—a period whon th# mind ia gen erally very immature—she produced poems that have overy whore been received witli dolight, and which will never fad* from our country's literature. It ia now about fifteen years since the public lirat became acquainted with her name and her pro ductions through the columns of this paper. Poem followed poem in bright saccession, each one teem ing with freak wild thoughts expressed in verse of the most delicious liarmoay. These poems came from the heart ofthe gifted girl and were all very beautiful—so beautiful and so perfect indeed, that they have scarcely been equalled hy the produc tions of any other American poetess. Sneh an extraordinary scries of poems, all ex pressivoof unworn feelings and glowing with ge nius, could not fail to attraetattenlion. “Amelia” became a great favorite with all the lovers of poetry throughout the Union. As poem followed poem, they were eagerly caught up hy the conductors of the public press in all sections and published until every render in the Union became familiar with them. Nor wastheir fame confined to the United States, for many of them were republished in En gland and created in that country a deep interest in the welfare of the young minstrel girl from whose harp-strings floated harmonies of thought and ex pression that charmed all hearts. For two years she continued to sing, making this paper the me dium of her communications with thepublio. Tlmt her poems were unequal in their merits, it is true, but yot what xvoro considered her poorest efforts were swcoler than the best of those of other peo ple. Such an intellectual phenomenon was regarded with strange interest in every State in the Union. Tributes of admiration in verse and prose flowed in upon her in abundance. The list of her ad mirers include many of tha most distinguished iu our literature. All strangers on reaching our city desired to sc# th* poetess, the enchantment of whose verse they had so often felt. And w hen they saw liar, a most artless, shrinking, “April hearted thing,” with the flowery hues of sixteen summers on her joyous brow and the light of genius in her deep bright eye, they could scarcely believe that the mere girl before them cauld possibly have produced those poems of such great wealth es feel ing andsueh imperishable beauty. But she was a mystery to herself and a mystcrv to her friends, for “genius is over a mystery to itsclfaml to others.” Those superb poems which aro equal to the best oftlieir class in tho language, came in all their ex quisite brightness and perfection fYom her mind iihnost without an effort. She always had them finished iu her mind before she committed them to paper. They were for the most part composed while she was engaged in some domestic avoca tion, and written off without difficulty and pub lished as they were written. Alas 1 that'widcly sensitive heart lias ceased to beat, and those harp-strings will he heard no more on earth 1 the lias gone from amid things perisha ble to the home of the immortal, and the unfading. That bright star which e hone so lustrously in the heaven of song is eclipsed to our vision, and we shall sco it no more among the bright sisterhood. Her spirit has passed from our habitations, and her form will in a few short hours be shut out for-, ever from our view, One of the most gifted women of the age has fallon, and the places which have known her tier* shall know her no more forever. She is gene in the spring-time of her life, and the spring season of th# year: that season which she loved so well becar.-s of its birds and blossoms and visible poetry gushing out from hill-si do and valley, end her eye is now dim to this world’s my riad beauties, and her ear is cold t# the warbling* of happy birds, sounding like the echoes ot her own sweet melodies. For several years, Mrs. YVclby's muse was silent. She preferred silence to song, and would not yield te the solicitations of those of Her friends who desired lie* to string again her loner neglected harp. But she wrote enough in her bright girl ■hood to secure t# her nan.* an abiding place iu American poctrv. Now that she is gene, let those who would be just to her memory and her genius, ! openthe pages of the volume con raining her poems, ; and read anywhere, and they will find the uumis ' taknble evidences of true inspiration in many | poems, which in beauty of thought, deliciousness | of melody, freshness of feeling, and naturalness of j imagery,"have rarely been equalled. Sad indeed i srews'uowto knew thatthe bright mind from I which emanated th"** glorious song* is pone from I scenes of time, and that i;o last strains of earthly j music have died upon the air. “Along the blf iseit heave a | Her spirit bold* its war.

THIRTY-SECOND CONGRESS, FIRST SESSION. IN SENATE, Mar in. After petitions anjl reports, Sir.

Mr. Sumner submitted a resolution, which was agreed to. directing an inquiry iuto the expediency of abolishing the law requiring the exaction of twenty cents from the monthly wagea of seamen in the merchant service, constituting what is called Hospital money. On motion of Mr. Morton, the bill granting land to Florida to aid iu the construction of a railroad from Pensacola bay to Montgomery, Ala., and for branch roads from" Pensacola to Mobile bay, and to Chattahoochee river, in Georgia, was taken up and ordered to be engrossed. AUo a bill granting land to Illinois and Indiana to aid in the construction of a railroad from Louis ville, Ky., to St. Louis, lie., and it was ordered to be engrossed. The bills which on Friday were ordered to be engrossed, granting land to Florida and Alabama I for railroads in those States, were token up and j passed. The deficiency bill was then taken np. Mr. Wade addressed the Senate in opposition to the amendment giving additional aid to the Col lins line. In the course of his remarks he com- j merite d upon the total neglect of Congress to do ! aught for the improvement of rivers aiid harbors ( in tlie Western States, and he asked the Senator from Michigan whether ho would vote for appro- I priutions for such purpose. Mr. Cass said his views upon this subject were j well known—they had been fully discussed at the j lart session. Ile'should vote for a bill upon the ] subject of internal' improvements—a reasonable j bill, the items of whibli shall have been examined 1 und recommended toCongress b» the War Depart- I ment. lie would vote for a bill whUh does not ! push tha expenditure unreasonably. lie was not for establishing a general system of internal im provement, but there were harbors and rivers for the improvement of which he would vote. Mr. Wade resumed his remarks, declaring his determination to vote against any appropriation to aid the navigatihg interests in the Atlantic or Pacific till justice was shown to the West. Mr. Bayard followed in earnest support of the amendment. » Mr. Mallory moved an amendment transferring this contract from the Navy to the Post Office De partment. The Senate then adjourned. HOUSE. Mr. Cullom. of Tennessee, submitted a resolution for the purchase of Mount Vernon, which ha wished referred to a committee, to report by bill or otherwise. Objections being made tlio motion was not put. The House then went into committee, Mr. nib bard, of New Hampshire, in the chair, and took up the Homestead Bill. Several amendments were offored and rejected. An amendment was moved extending a gratuitous grant of one hundred and sixty acres of land to every officer, seaman and marine, who served in the Mexican war, or their widows and orphans. Mr. Fvans of Maryland moved to add an amend ment extending the same benefit to those who had served in the Revolutionary war, that of 1612, and the Florida war. Mr. Jones, of Tenn., objected to the amendment as being out of order. The chair having over ruled the objection was sustained by the commit tee. Mr. Evans expressed his surprise that those who had served before 1547 were overlooked. The best men the service ever possessed were the marines who served in tho war of 1512 ; and who had never received bounty lands. The same remark, he said would apply to the seamen and marines who went onshore and served during the Florida war, and who in neither ease received prize money. He con cluded by expressing a hope that tardy justice would be awarded these deserving men. The amendment having been negatived, and al so the amendment to which it appiien, and one or two others having been similarly disposed of, the first section was passed as amended on Friday. Other sections of the hill were thenjdisposcd of. Mr. Florence, of Pa., proposed to amend the bill by extending its benefits to officers and others en gaged in the war of 1812. He said there were six or seven thousand persons whom he represented, who gave their services to the country during .that war who could not understand the distinction that had been made in favor of those who enlisted during the Mcxicon war, many of whom were never en gaged in actual service. lie said ho should vote for the bill, whether the amendment were adopted or not. He believed the pcoplo generally were in fa vor of extcndingtbo benefits of tho bill to that class of porsons whose cause he had been advoca ting. Tho amendment having been nogatived, ns were ono or two others relative to registers and receivers of the land offices, a motion prevailed that the com mittec rise. The House having resumed, tho chairman report ed that the committee had come to no conclusion with reference to the business before it. Mr. Johnson, of Arkansas, renewed his motion for the adjournment of the House from the first to the fourth of Juno, that the hall might bo pre pared for the summer session, and tho previous question having been agreed to, the thirteenth and seventeenth of June was moved, in amendment, upon which the sense of the House is being taken by tiis yens and nays. IN SENATE, May 11. Mr. Cooper presented the memorial of Thomas Sully arid other nrtists ol' the United States, praying that Congress will employ Mr. Bothertnell to paint a historical picture for the rotunda of the Capitol. After other petitions and reports, Sir. Mallory moved to take up the joint resolu tion providing for the completion of a war steamer for harbor defence, according to the contract made with Mr. K. L. Stevens, of Now York, and tlio mo tion was agreed to. Hr. Stockton addressed the Senate in support of tho measure. lie pointed out the fact that the harbor of New York and other Atlantic harbors were not in a hotter state of defence than they were forty years ago. Hostile fleets arriving on our coast were no longer subject to tlio uncertainties of wind and tide. These considerations opposed no obstacle to the operations of steam fleets, and in the present state of defences of New York harbor a single steamer of tho onemy could lay that eitr in ruins. Forts were not as’efficient in defending a harbor from steam vessels, which may eomo within and pass bey ond the range of fort in five minutes. A vessel then, impervious to shot and shell, stationed in the harbor, was absolutely necessary for defence of it. He considered such a vessel as worth more, for harbor defence, than twenty forts. lie paid high compliments to Mr. Stephens for his high reputa tion. lie has undertaken this contract with no purposo of making money, from no desire to have a Government job—but for the sole purpose of identifying his skill and talents with the means of national defence. lie maintained that a navy must bo necessarily tho only rcliablo defence of this country in casoof wpr. Ho urged an immediate and large increase of the steam navy. England, Eussia ana Franco had now' immense steam navy's and that of tho United States onnsisted of flvc’worthlcss ships and two screw propellers. And this was the navy of the Bcpublio which bid tlio world defiance in a naval ( war. ! Within twenty davs from a declaration of war, ! a steam flee: could if no more defence be furnish- • cd New York than now, lay that citv in ruins in a j single night. Ho urged the establishment of a steam navy, superior to that of the world, of ves sels having speed and other qualities, which would enable any one of them to whip six of tho enemy, and which could cruize with safety in the British channel and threaten English cities as ours are now. He contended it was not inconsistent with true democratic principles to protect and encourage those articles noeossary for national defence. Ho said if these—and they were coal and iron—were encouraged by a change of revenue laws so as to fix the duty on tho home or American valuation, then the enterprise of America* citizens could safely competo with that of the world. lUs democracy was the democracy of Ul4 Virgi nia and Kentucky resolutions of 1795-9. These, lie regarded, were the greatest legacy, the consti tion alone excepted, bequeathed to us hv the pa triots of the country; they had warned the country of the many dangerous heresies and false theories, and pointed out the only safo channel in which the ship of State could be gnided. , The subject was then, after some remarks by Mr. Mangum, postponed. The Deficiency bdl wa» then taken up. Messrs. Geycr and Brooke addressed the Senate in opposition to the amendment giving additional aid to the Collins line of steamers. Mr. Kush and Mr. Badger replied. An amendment transferring the contract for this service fri mthe navy to the post office department, was debated and rejected—yeas 18, nays 191 and then the subject was postponed.

Mr. Evans, of Md., moved to strike out tho last section, for the purpose of calling attention to tho fact that in the appropriation bill $971,000 are ap propriated for continuing surveys of the pnblie lands, and submitted whether it should uot he pro vided in the bill that the cost of survey of tho lands to be granted shall bo paid by the settler obtaining such free grant, and not that the revenues derived from the custom bouse should be taken to defray the expenses of making gratuitous grants of the puhlio lands. He said lie had not time in a five minutes speech to express hi-sentiments fully on the subject, but he thought there was little duferenee between granting tho land in the manner proposed, and giving persons resident in the old states the amount of tlio value ol such lands, to enable them t* make purchases there. He concluded by stating, that he intended to vote against the bill, he should press his amendment, but hoped the friends of tho bill would introduce some such clause. Mr. Cobb, of Alabama, proposed an amendment, regulating the price of puhlio lands, according to the time during which tnej[ shall liavo been in the market—the price decreasing in proportion to the time which shall have elapsed. Tho Chairman ruled the amendment to be out of order. Other amendments were submitted and discuss ed, when the Committee rose, and the .House ad journed. IN SENATE, May 12.

The first business this morning was the consid eration of the resolution reported by the committee on printing, recapitulating its power, to remedy delay and to provide for tne execution ot the prin ting. where the contractor fails to perform it, Mr. Staniy, of 3?.

The Speaker decided that the amendment was in order; which decision was appealed against and reversed. The Chair held that under this vote no amend ment could be received without the unanimous consent of the committee. Mr. Stanley proposed another amendment of a similar nature, but authorizing the head of a family to settle on land in another State; provided the U.

Their robberies iinvo also been extend ed to the copper mines. Two soldiers were killed by them on the Jornado. The Government has lost large amounts of property under the eyes of its own troops. The Sun Antonio Ledger extends its list of Indian massacres and robberies in New Mexico and Chihuahua, to near a column. Late advices state that tlio rivers were nearly at tho lowest stage, and navigation wa3 out of tho question on the Trinity and Brazos. Col.

Tho Ledger says this road will be built beyond a doubt. The trade via San Antonio to El Paso is said to be constantly increasing, and the practicability of a railroad by this route to tho Pacific is becoming a subject of common remark. Gen.

The Whigs of Western Texas held a convention at Houston on the 6th inst., at which resolutions were passed affirming the Compromise, in favor of river and harbor improvements by Congress, and declaring Millard Fillmore the first choice oftho Whigs of tlio State for tho Presidency. A letter from Houston, iu tlio Galveston Jour nal, gives an nccount of two tragic occurrences which recently took place atCroeke t and Bastrop. A German peddler, from Alabama, was murdered by a fellow-countryman and traveller near the first mentioned place, under circumstances of peculiar atrocity. The murderer was Bcized by tho citizens, a rope’plneed about his neck, and swung up to tlio limb of a tree several times, to elicit a confession, but proving unsuccessful, lie was allowed to re main suspended over night, and was, of course, found dead the following morning. A lette r from Austin states that Gov. Bell had gone to tho Corpus Clirisli fair. At Bastrop, the mother *f young girl, who had been decoyed from home by a fiend in human shape, not succeeding in shooting his accomplice the first time she saw him, met him again in the street, presented a pistol close to his breast and killed him instantly.

They arc both smaller ships than the Florida and Alabama, which register something under 1,300 tons, but are so rated in round numbers. The Southerner when she first began to run was called something under 600 tons, we think, but has now grown to 1,000. The i Marion which rates at the Custom House some ■ where about 1,000 tons is called 1,200. This puf | sing and straining may have a temporary effect but j does not wear well or do any good with the well | informed and thinking traveller, but rather the ro ) verse. The new Sevannah steamer will register at i the Custom Honse between 1,800 and 1,400 tons, ! but will probably be called in round numbers the | same as the Florida and Alabama, 1800, We observe, by the way. in illustration of these , remarks, that the dimensions of the new steamer i James Adger as stated in the Charleston Courier, are : 215 feet long on deck, breath of beam 23 ; feet, and depth of hold 21 feet 8 inches. The j State of Georgia, as stated by the Philadelphia ! Forth American, measures 214 feet long, S 4 feet j beam and 21 feet deep. let the former is adver ] tised as measuring 1,500 tons and the iatteras 1,200 , —more of a distinction than a difference.— Stth. j Repub. Letter rp.su Bcme. —Mr. Weed, in his last let ter from Reme, announces that he had just been presented to the Pope. Wc quote : “In the afternoon of Sundty, I ’was presented by Mr. Cass to his Holine.-s. M o want by appoint ment at 4 o dock. Miss Middleton, ot .South Carolina, Mrs. Rutherford, of New Jersev, and Gen. Stuart, of Baltimore, were presented "at the same time. Mrs. Middleton is the. daughter of a Roman officer, who died recently, and who’was for along time Governor of the Castle oi St. Angeio.

This request was readily granted, and a valuable painting goes to Baltimore. “There was an unpleasant occurrence in front of St. Peter's yesterday. When the Pope was about to pronounce the Benediction, a French officer or dered Mr. Jones of New York, to take off his hat. Mr. Jones refused, and th# officer knocked it off, for which he struck the officer with his cane. The officer struck back with his sword, cutting Mr. J. slightly in the hand, who returned another blow with his cane. By this time he was taken in charge by troops and carried to prison. Informa tion was taken to Mr. Cass, our Minister, who im mediately went to the authorities, and after two or three hours’ delay procured his release.

Tho muu being at dinner, none were hurt. The Ministers of the Interior and Police are at present occupied w ith a matter which stirs groat scandal, and will be shortly submitted to the Coun cil of State. The Central Commissioner of Police of one of the chief cities in the South is on tho point of being arrested on the charge of having trafficked iu pardons, and sold for hard cash com munications of punishments or releases from pri sons. The fact was denounced to the authorities by a prisoner, p ho had procured his liberty by this corrupt channel, and ha* since been sqpSrmed by | | others. I The Moniteur, of Monday, contains a fresh shower of largesses to the army. This is a decreo ! ordaining that the year 1851 shall count as a year of campaign to those troops who were called upon in any part of tho French territory to suppress tho resistance offered to the usurpation of December the 2d. Tits Political Offenders. —The chief events of the present week in France is a remarkable report by Colonel d’Espinasse, one of the extraordinary commissioners of pardon, sent into the provinces to revise tho sentences of the departmental com missions. Every sentence of his report breathes the pre meditation of a parti prii; if it had been composed bv the faction of rigor before he set out from Paris it could not have talljcd more exactly with their views. Ho asserts that, in all the departments ho has visited, the circulars inculcating mercy have beenhreeeived with hostility, and have produced the worst impression. The pardoned demagogues have retracted their confessions. The departmen tal commissions have sinned bv excess of mercy. AY hercover ho went, Colonel d’Espinasso, to calm the inhabitants, ordered the suspended convoy of convicts on their way to Arrica to continue their march towards their penal destination, lie rep resents the number or the affiliated to secret socie ties as being so enormous that even the deporta tions of the ringleaders alone would havo inelud- ’ cd several thousands in two or three departments, i This commissioner of mercy, out of 400 ) coudcm- 1 nations, has only been able "to bring his conscience to admit 200 offenders to pardon. Such is the re- ’ port of M. d’Espinasse, and so great has been its effect upon the mind of th.e President, that the ' latter has immediately complied with its leading suggestion, which is to refer the appeals for pardon t totiie local administration. Col. d’Espinasse is ( tho officer who took possession of the legislative ] palacoon the morning of tho 2nd ofDoeomber, and 1 prevented the escapo of General Lcflo by posting ( a guard at tho Bccret issue which that qnestor had provided tor saving himself from capture, and . which lie had the imprudence to reveal to tho very officer who took him prisoner. South Australia. —-Intelligence has been receiv- . ed from Adelaide, South Australia, to the 10th J January, being several days later than that already published. The discovery of gold in tho colony f turned out to be a fabrication. The government , commissioners had a second time proceeded with Mr. G. M. Stephen, the party by whom tho reward 6 had been claimed, to the spot indicated, aud upon , testing the soil were unable to procure the smallest j portion of metal. Upon a previous trial every spadeful had been found to yield gold, und the e commissioners, in their report, consequently as sert that pieces must have been introduced oh that 1 occasion for the purpose of deception. With re- - gard to the general stato of the country, it appears p that tho disorganization caused by the departure of f the inhabitants to Sydney and Forte Philip had been much exaggerated. t Italy. —On the 26th nit., a powder magazine in t Turin blew up, doing great damage; 20Q, persons t were reperted to havo been killed, but. no exact ac- { counts have yet come to hand. A letter from Rome of the 12th, in tho Augsburg j j Gazett, states that the Prince do Canino is to rc- j eoivo 300,000 francs for his palace at Rome, which ho ( is to give up ts liis eldest son. The palace, itissaid, , is worth more, but is encumbered with mortgages. The Pope has given tho Powers to understand that his ultimatum for arranging with Piedmont 1 consistofthe.se three conditions :1, To recall Mon- n signor Fransoni, Archbishop of Turin. 2, Togivo up the civil mnrriage bill; and 3, to puss a repros- t sivc law against tne abuses of the press in rcli- t gious matters. In compensation, the Pope will f consent to tho abolition of tho ecclesiastical juris- 1 diction which tlvc Piedmontese chambers liavo al ready voted. Tho Ministry and the Cnambers i have decided upon rejecting this. f TrttKF.T.—Tho Trieste Gazette states that the Turkish atid Austrian Governments have entered s into a treaty, by which thoy bind themselves mu tually to give tip deserters and criminals who seek ■ rei'ugo in theirrospectivo territories. In execution of tins treaty, addsthe Trieste Gazette, tho Austri- t an Government has already given up to Turkey six soldiers and a criminal who had fled into Austria, s Constantinople letters oftho 15th ult., refer to an angry correspondence between Austria and the Porte, on the subject of the troubles in Bosnia and the ill spirit openly manifested in that city toward Austrian subjects. Report says that the demands made upon the Porto are likely to receive an unre served denial. The Egyptian question was believ ed to be near a satisfactory arrangement,' ow ing to the concilatory advice given by Sir Strat ford Canning, which the Porte expressed itself willing to adopt. India. —The Burmese expedition under Gen. Godwin had sailed, and was expected to arrive at Manlmainon the 4th of April. Thcro was already a considerable naval force there, and the Admiral was on bis wav with a vessel of war and another steamboat. The 38th Bengal native infantry had refused tj embark for Burmah. The 6tli Madras light infantry had been substituted. Miscellaneous. —A return to the House of Com mons has been printed, from which it appears that last year 611 vessels belonging to the United Kingdom were wrecked. Os the number, 600 were sailing vessels of 110,670 tonnage, and 11 steam vessels, the tonnage of which was 1,306. Tho Right Hon. Sir Stratford Canning, Ambassa dor at Constantinople, has been raised to the peer age hy the title of Viscount Stratford do Rcdclift'e, of Redclitt'o, in the county of Somerset. The correspondent of the Times says, in regard to Kossuth’s family It having been found impossible to establish a case against Mosdames Mcszlouyi and Buttkay, they have been liberated, and are" now residing in the Hotel National, in the Lcopuldsiadt. The Aus trian Government has at length come to the conclu sion that nothing is to bo gained by detaining Kos suth's relations here, and accordingly the whole family—some 17 persons, I believe—will bo per mitted to quit this country on the Ist of May. As people here can never do anything with a good graeo, difficulties have been raised about the ser vants who wero willing to go wjtli tho emigrants. The authorities insist on the Kossuth family emi grating alone, which in my opinion is most unrea sonable, as there arc four females and cloven child ren of tea party. From a perfectly credible source I learn that Ma dame Mcszlenyi, who is said to have as much moral courage os all the rest of her fumily put together, completclybsflied all the attempts of the authori ties to extract any information of consequence from her. The military judge (auditor,) to whom the case was intrusted, dictated a protocol pur porting to be a recapitulation of the admissions made by the defendants, and Madame Mcszlenyi was instructed to sign it. “Never,” cried the spirited woman, “will I consent to sign that which, though not positively false, is not perfectly true. Let me dictate the protocol, which I am well able to do, and then I will willingly sign it.” Justice requires that I should state that Kos suth’s sisters were kindly treated during their imprisonment, and that their mother’s letters to them were duly delivered, after having been read by the authorities to whoso safo keeping they were entrusted. The old lady admonished her child ten to take coaraga and remain firm, “as. the sun must rise at last, be tho night ever so dark and long.” This, I have reason to believe is the sense, if iiot the literal translation of a phrase contained in one of the letters delivered into the hands of the i prisoner. As Madame Kossuth and her family.will not bo permitted to come here, they will meet with Mcauanis Meszlcnii and Kuttkay somewhere on the road to Bodenbaeh. Destri-ction or a British Ship bt Gi-Npownrii.— By the ship America, from the coast of Africa, we have received information of the total destruction of the British ship Mary, in the Bonny Itiver, on the 10th of January last. The house, built on the ship’s deck, by some means caught fire. There were on board between two and three hundred barrels of gunpowder; the captain and crew, 25 in number, finding themselves utiable to quench the flames, threw themselves overboard, and got safely on board of the adjacent vessels. About twenty minutes afterward the Mary blew up. The ship and s great portion of her cargo wore fortunately insured. She belonged to Messrs. Harrison, of Mersey street, Liverpool. Arrival of the Washington. The steamer Washington has arrived with South ampton dates of the 28th ult., and 135 passengers. She is under command of Elisha Fitch, former chief officer, Capt. Floyd remaining still in ill health. The Washington brings some items of news not embraced in the despatch by the steamer Canada. . England. —The steamer Humboldt reached Cow es on the 25th, in a little under 15 days. The West India Steam Packet Company had de termined to run a line of powerful Screw Propell ers between Panama and Australia, to connect with the line between Cliagres and Southampton. The most vgorous efforts were making by the au thorities of Southampton to encourage Steam Navi gation from thai port. The Mayor had given a grand banquet to. all the Steam Companies, at which Lord Palmerston was present. The Derhy Ministry had obtained an unexpected victory in the Commons on the 26th nit., the Mili tia Bill having been carried by 150 majority. Mr. Locke King's motion relative to the elective franchise, on which Lord John Russell was de feated last year, has proved a triumph to the Dor- j by administration, the motion having been defeat j ed by 53 majority. Austria. — The whole of Kossuth’s relations, 17 i in number, will be permitted to leave Austria on ; i the first of May. 4 ! France,— The Tribunal of the Seine bas decided against Louis Napoicon on the question of the Or leans property confiscation. It was regarded as the first stand’against the tyranny ofthe President, and produced a fall of per cent, on the Bourse.

Its iriends favored a more deliberate consideration but the Democrats, smarting under the defeat whieh they attributed to their policy on this sub ject, pnshed it forward as rapidly as possible.

LIVERPOOL, April 80.— Cotton.— There has been during the week great activity in our Cotton market. 11m late advices from the United States show that prices there have been fairly maintained, and that there are plenty of buyers to prevent accumulation of stocks. These advices have given additional confidence here, and the abundance of money, on very cheap terms, encourages speculation. A change of wind has brought in considerable arrivals, and Cotton bas been very freely offered; still tho demaud has been so good that prices close at tho full rates of last week. The week’s sales amount to 69,910 hales, including 18,100 on speculation and 10,110 for export. The stock in Liver ]xmo has been counted, and proves to he 414,270 hales.— To-day the market is quieter—sales 10,000 bales. We quote fair Orleans s.i»'«L; middling s,’id.; fair Mobller*6’,'d.; mid dling 5d.; fair Uplands sVfd., middling 4 15-16 d. Com.— With the exception of Indian Corn, which is Is. 7=l quarter dearer, there has been little change to note in the Coni trade. Wheat and Flour have met a fair inquiry at about last week’s prices. The market to-day was very dull Tor all articles of the 1 trade, and Indian Corn, as well as Flour, could be bought on easier terms than at tho commencement of the week.— . A. Dennishnm i 0 Co.

OBITUARIES. ” J Died, in Columbia county, Ga., Miss FRANCES Jl. MAR TIN, youngest daughter of Robert and Fran.cw Martin, on the 22d ult., after u protracted illness, 5$ which her suffer- - ings were great, and borne with equal patience and resig nation. She united with the Methodist Episcopal Church tn 1843, since which time she has been an acceptable member.— -i Though cuy*d, in the vigor of youth, to contend with the J mopsur death, she was found ready. During her afliiction a she became perfectly reconciled to her fate, so much so that she often said to me, that she had no desire to recover, but chose rather to depart and be with Jeeuri. e This, however, was not her condition, during her contm- c ucd Bufferings. For if I mistake not, in December, she on t one occasion, thought that the hour Rad arrived when she c •must depart; ami upon a scrutinizing examination, she <] feared and shrunk, which subsequently caused her much e trouble ; fihe frequently reverted to that occasion in after t conversations. 1 andevored to cheer her by repeating the c promises of her heavenly Father, and told her that I theught c she would pain a signal victory, and perhaps never be c troubled more on that subject. She did gain the victory, t and a signal one it was too. Forduringthclastsixoreig.it j weeks of her life, if she had one troublesome doubt of her t acceptance, lam not aware of it; and l had, during that i time, many seasons of heavenly communion with her, in , which she would invariably proclaim the victory. fflA few days before her departure, her frien.’s thought that the summons had come, and this opinion seemed to pervade her own mind, and while they wore surrounding her to Bee the last struggle, she in triumph bade them farewell, prais ed God aloud, told them that all was well, And that Jesus ! was with her. Kite continued in this rapturous condition J until hor physical powers s unk in exhaustion, in which situa tion she lay for several hours, and seemed only waiting the 1 arrival of the messenger. I was shortly afterward sum* I moned to her bed side and found her in the same felicitous state. I talked with her in reference to her futu/e pros- i pert*, when siho gave me the brightest evidence that all < would bs well. In this happy mood the continued, until « Git second night before her departure. Signs were then/ visible of speedy dissolution. I again asked if all contirm- < ed well with her, and had an affirmative assurance. She i raid that she felt to/ry to leave us, And that she would like to live a day or two longer, which request seemed to be granted. She then, composed and without a struggle, fell ■ afcteep in JeEU3. She has left mar.y relatives and friends to mourn their loss—but their low is her eternal gain. Let us then cease oar unavailing regrets, and live in a state of preparedness to meet her where parting shall more. I). The Bouth Carolina Advocate will please copy. Mrs. MARGARET JOHNSTON, of Madison, died on the the morning of the 4ti* inst. She was the daughter of Wm. Jones of Burke county, aDd was born on the 23d day of May, 1784. She intermarried with Lancelot Johnston, Esq., on the 14th February, 1814. In the relations of life, Mrs. Johnston evinced those traits of character which endeared her to others. Amiable, kind and affable, her intercourse with sodety was pleasant. Those with mingled felt the Influence of a dispo sition, which sweetened the associations of earth, and gavo a softness and charm to their society. In the domestic re lations—as wife and mother—none can tell how faithful how affectionate, how beloved she was, like tha widowed husband, and the bereaved children she has left behind. To them, in these relations, she “discharged her duty;’’ and the sweet affections of home a&d family dwelt in their midst. Thus situated to enjoy life, with every thing about her to make it pleasant and desirable; she lias been stricken down, in its by disease. 44 Verily,” ia every' sense of the word, “ man is vanity.” The young, with eager hope and anxiou3 pursuit, toil for the pood of earth: yet they are of- . ten smitten in a day before the good is gained. The middle aged and old have Wiled and gained It; y*t, in the very inidst of its enjoyment they fad, and earth’s good is gone j Mrs. Johnston was the victim of a disease in its approach, became fatal in Its progress, ter months, I her constitution bad been gradually yielding *l™ but | certain jiower, until at last shel*™* '**? c !so quietly, that she seemed to have dropped into a soft J not unpreprepared for this result.

Hcure, when the end ' drew nigh ,he realised this troth, 44 My Grace i» sufficient.” ‘ A few days before h*r death, being strong in faith, she was , Billed with pe.ee and joy in believing. On the last night t of her ilines, her resignation and faith faltered not. Feeble - and almost voiceless, she gave, to the end, her dying tes;i. m ony to the power of God's grace to save. Calmly and . gently She passed away from the joys and sorrows <4 earth. , For her to live was Christ; to die was gain, >y. ‘ ‘ PIANOS, -MUSIC, WATCHES AND JEWKL. - BY.
