LATER mOM MEXICO.
President Arista's Speech—A Crisis.
The Mexican Congress adjourned on the 21st
nit., a* we havo stated, without making any pro
vi.-ioii for tho necessary resources which the Ad
luinietration must have at its command to carry on
the Government during tiio interim. That is, the
Mexican Administration is placed in the predica
ment Unit we would imagine the Government of
the li.i.. d States would be in if the U. S. Congress
adjourned sens die without making any of tho usu
al appropriation*.
The Mexican Administration frilly appreciates
the condition of the distracted country which it is
called on to govern without means. This will bo
seen by the note addressed to tho Cabinet by the
Chamber of Deputies just before its adjournment,
and by I’resident Araistu’a speech at the adjourn
ment. V.'a translate the Cabinet's communication,
as follows:
“Already, on several occasions, the Government
In,* ma le Wno.vti to tlie National Legislature tho
veritable sitiur ioii of the Kepublic; and to-day, at
t lie v ry moment of the final adjournment, it again ,
ain the august Chambers to take some decided sfep I
whereby tu rescue tho Government from the dim- I
cult position in which it will bo placed, without j
power* or resources, and to save the nation from j
tile mice- ury eonscqounces of such a crisis.
“Tbi-measure demanded might consist in the
•implifie ition of the action of tho Government, in
eircmii-taiicosor cases which might arise during
the congressional vacation, by authorizing it to take
in collarrt whlitlie Government Council, or with
special committees, to be named by one Chamber
or bo'h, the resolutions necessitated, sucli rosolu
tioiis to be put in execution under tlio responsibili
ty of tho Mini-try.
“Tlio Cabinet doos not misunderstand the posi
tion in which it places itself in demanding a mea
sure which seems to embrace an increase of the
powers of the Executive ; but it doe* not hesitute (
to acMtpt this position, because that, in reality, it
is not tlioMinslry which will have to oxcrciso these ,
lucre no 1 powers, and, further, that in taking this ,
step It ltd imp islies its imposed duty, to hesitute (
at no personal sacrifice for tho safety of tb# coun
try.’’ ,
This communication, signed by Messrs. Kami- ,
rez, Fousicea,Esparza and Kobhoz, was referred
to mi appropriate committee, which immediately
rendcr< d a report. It concluded thus:
“There is no reason why ilia demand mode to
il ly by the Government for extraordinary powers (
should be granted.”
Too report was immediately taken into consider- (
ntion und discussed ) along and animated debate
followed and the committee's report was finally
adopted by a vote of 74 ycus to 18 nujs. It was j
thought, that alter this decided cheek, the Minis
try would resign, but it did not.
The I’rcshl nt’s address to the Congress at ttie
last moment of its session was ns follows:
(rtnllemen Deputiu atui Senators —Tho funda
in*nt.il®|uw linn placed a term to your legislative
task iiiciosirig a period which will be memorable i
ill the Illinois of the Kepublic by the great and no
table events which have marked its course. The )
critical- circumstance* which uccompunicd your
inauguration made it to be seriously feared that
your mission would result only in the frilfillment \
of the last and tho saddest duty reserved to man «
oil earth—that of assisting at the burial of his
country. The flume of war, unexampled and con- 1
demnud l>\ the law of God as well us by tho lnw of |
milieus, miII blazed on u (rentier widen sepurntod 1
u* from a fr.eudly power; the negotiations, pend- t
ir.g with that power, to facilitate the mean* of com- c
miiiiieathm which may rondor our territory tho i
centre of tiio commercial world, had torminated in
a manner to make us four perhaps a rupture of the t
peace of tlio two continents; the commercial crisis, |
e uiitinn’ioed in tlio lust days of the former Legisla
ture, hud reached a formidable development, throat- t
oning troubles in the interior and the weakening,
at least, of the alliuncos that hud been so recoutly h
established in our foreign relatione; to conclude, f
t lie financial crisis, which daily showed an increase
in the sum of tlio deficit, and the civil disorders J
which sowed’ distrust and discordance among tlio t]
depositaries of tho public administration, had t<
placed in imminent dungur the Into of tho nation,
which, agitated during so many years by civil con
vulsions, fatigued by its disorders, weakouod by
its disseiiaious, und surrounded by torriblo perils, "
appeared to be uuablo to prolong its painful cxis- t'
ti-iico for another day. The Government itself .
does not know how to account for il» preservation
among so uiuuy mid such great danger*, except '
that it is duo to thaapociivl aid and protection of y
l’rovidcnoo, wliich bus exhibited its favor to ns ;
even by tlio punishments it has indicted, by clearly *
giving us the proof that wo still possosa the means
* o y nalionul safety, and that we have only to will '
it tf> attain 15. . . r
Guided by its convictions and sustained by its 1
hopes, tlio Government baa employod all tlie ‘
moans at its disposal to avert tlio perils which £
threatened ns, and has asked for a grant of thoso I
wliieli were wanting to oxecuto ita duties in a pro- j 1
per manner. Tlio legislative corps, assuming all *■
tlio difficulties of the occasion,'has provided for .
them in tlio way It deemed the most judicious, aud \
tlio Government, progressing as it has always doue
ill) to the present time, in too nsrrow path pro
scribed by I.HW, will essay to draw all possible y
bonetits from it* roaourcoe, stopping only whan the
luck of tliu -o resources will arrest its notion. Fear- {
ing Unit this event may very speedily happen, in
cimßoiiueuce of the extremely complicated state of
Hie ullairs of the Republic, the Government has, ‘
at the last hour, made known its situation by pro- t
posing in place of tho exorcise of a discretionary .
power by the Lxooutive, tho simplifloation of the
p.-wera reserve ! to tho Legislature, in case somo
pressing necessity demanded such action during ‘
tlio congressional vacation. But this measure has ,
not met the favor wit h wliich it was honed it would
l,n received, and consequently the Government, *
considering its reapomobility protected for the
future, will spare no means or aaoridoo to fulfill it*
UnHciilt Mid lielicato mission.
Tno Vico ITeident of tho Chamber of Deputies
replied to l‘re<ideut Arista, by trying to enumerate
tlio labor* of the session—a difficult task. Iu
touching upon the governmental demand for ex
traordinary poworkf ho spoke us follows:
“Tho grave question which was presented to-day *
foi the la, relative donation of extraordinary pow- '
era to tlio Government, could not have been de
cided in the affirmative without s violation of the ;
constitution : the Executive should be deeply im- ‘
prusecd with that fact.
* “ The means made u*eof up to tlio present time
will suffice, if your Excellency's patriotism applies
theta with care. Tho National Legislature hopes
as much at it desires that such will bo the case.” '

Ou tho Thursday evening previous ho saw * tiun

to tho camp, and after asking a few questions rode
on. Two days afterwards the same family encamp
ed at La M ui. when the Camanches came tipon
them, hiding the mother and three children. Two
email children were, taken to the “Pass’' bv some
Mexicans who gave the alarm. The commanding j
officer, tapt. Arthur, despatched a company with >
a wagon for the wounded farther of tho family and :
wounded daughters, The family consisted of fa- !
tiicr, mother and six children, all of whom were
killed or wounded excepting a little boy and girl,
four end seven years <»ld. Tho old gentleman—
Jack Chambers—and his daughter are in the hos-
J.i.al at Fort Duncan, with a prospect of soon re
covering. They are from Leon county in this
(state. The wife killed was a sister of Mr. Louis
('anchor, on tho Salado. The remains of the
mother and children were interred by the compa

Pass, having with them niuetcen mule* and fifteen
horses. Ti.o Indians were pursued and overtaken
0 and all the animals retaken. Two of the Indiaus
w re wounded, one supposed mortally. The rest
of the Indians fled. The Indians had two Mexican '
children prisoners, oue of whom was recaptured,
who says the horsos and mules and himself were
taken near Guerre in Mexico. Near the place
where the party of Indians was encountered, two
girls and a boy were found, who stated that their
father and mother and two brothers had been
killed a few days before by a party of Indians,
while on their way thorn Eastern Texas to Mexico,
and that the Indians had left them after taking
them a day's tourney. Their father was an Amer
ican by the name of Chambers. This party of In
dians were also Camanches. Another letter dated

From Noktiixrx Mexico. — We find some inter
esting news from Northern Mexico in the Browns
■ viilc papers received yesterday. Tine Flag states
that a signal victory I as been gained by the liberal
party in Mexico, in the recent election for Gover
nor of Tamaulipas, Jexuo Cardenas, the present in
cumbent, who was a candidate for re-election, hav
ing l>eeti defeated bv a large majority. Sr. Don
Kamon Prieto, a citizen of Tampico, was his suc
cessful comjietitor. Matamoros, it is stated, cast
her vote for Prieto. From the Flag of the 12th ws
learn that there bad been, for some days, much ex
citement in Matamoros, the former and present
acting Governor not being disposed to yield up his
offii-e to the new incumbent. The Flag says:
“ Quite a warm oontroversv has been carried on
between the presses advocatii g the two parties.—
An article was published from the Genio, office in
Matamoros. in which the conduct of the present
Governor, Jesus Cardenas, is held up In no very
euviahl - light. This article was denounced, and
the editor of the paper, who ha* been recently
elected a member of the legislature from Tamauli
pu*, arrested and imprisoned. The same course
wu* pursued, a* we learn, with some forty others,
who also avowed the same sentiments, as express
ed hy the editor of the Genio; nor did it atop here
—the cry was, ‘ still they come.’ The number of
rwporuill't to the article, we sre told, aeon loomed
r.p to a hundred. Thi* was too much for the
‘learned judge;’ he could not withstand this pha
lanx of the Young Democracy—aud dismissed tho
case, just in time to save the whole of Matamoros
from being imprisoned.”— tf. O. Bulletin.

Dura or Btsuor Garsuxs.—We announce with
.'.op regret, the decease of the Right Rovercnd
Christopher Edwards Gadsden, D. D., of tbe Pro
testant Episcopal Church, and Bishop of the Diocese
of South Carolina. He died, at hie residence, in
this city, yesterday morning, at the age of #8 years,
aftor a period of protected debility and sickness.
Bishop Gadsden was a native of this city, and a
grandson of Gen. Christopher Gadsden, a distin
guished worthy of the revolution. He was a grad
uate of Vale College, and received his academic
honors in the same class with Mr. Calhoun. He
was ordained Deacon, July 28, 1807, by Bishop
Moors, of New York, and Priest in April, 1810, by
Bishop Madison, of Virginia. In January. 1808 he
was elected Rector of Biggin Church, in the Parish
of St. John’s, and resigned on the
2d Febrnarv, DIO, to enter on the duties of Assist
ant Minister of St. Philips Church, in this city, to
which office he was choseu on tlte 21st December,
ISOS*. On the 17th July, 1814, he was chosen Rec
tor ofSt. Philip’s, as the successor of the Rev.
James Dewar Simons, and continued to officiate
there to the time of his death. In 1840, he was
elected Bishop of this Diocese, as the successor of
the Rt. Kcv. Nathaniel Bowen, D. D., and was con
secrated iu Trinity Church, Boston, on Sunday,
June 21,1840.
Bishop Gadsden was an eminent prelate of his
Church, equally distinguished for deep learning,
elegance ot composition, and fervent piety. His
amiable and benevolent character, unassuming de
portment and Christian liberality secured him at
once the re-pect and affection, not onlv of his own
denomination, bat of our whole community. He
will long be remembered as an ornament of his
Church, and mourned as one of the most valued of
our Divines and citizens.
The Bells of our Churches were tolled yesterday
in respect to his memory; and his funeral is to

• Extract of a letter received from a gentleman
iu Lawrenceville, Ga ;
The house of Mr. Jesse Rambn, near Lawrcnce
ville, Gwinnett county, was entered by a band of
armed robbers, on the night of the 15th inst., who
after having cruelly beaten, with sticks and other
wise injuring Mr. and Mrs. Rambo, demanded the
key to the iron safe, which they entered and rob
bed of all its monied contents, amounting as we
learn only to a' out sixty-five dollars iu specie, and
then made good their escape.
Five men arc known to have entered the house
while several others remained out doors.
Mr. and Mrs. R., both very aged were the only
white persona about the premises. As yet no dis
covery his been made leading to the detection of
the perpetrators of this outrage upon common

Tbi Accident on tbb State Road.—VTherb the
Blame Rests.— An lrishmau, named Michael Healv,
a dav laborer on the State Koad, who had charge
of the hand car on Tuesday at the time of the ac
cident, was yesterday brought liefore Justices Cor
rv. Shaw anil Davis,"at the instance of Superinten
dent Wadiey, on the charge of criminal neglect of
dutv, and after investigation was bound over m
thesmn of $1,500. It appeared from the evidence
that Hoalv’s time was wrong about ten minutes,
thongh there was no proof of criminal intention
on his part. But whatever amount of blame may
be attached to his conduct, there was one fact eli
cited bv the testimony of the Engineer, that was
entirely" new to us, as we suppose it will be to
thousands interested in the State Koad, and it is a
fact worthy of serious attention. From his testi
mony it appears that the cars on the State Road
are entirely destitute of breaks and the apparatus
; commonlv called a “ cow-catcher" is never used
before the locomotives on that road. The Engi-
I neer farther testified that in this «*e, if the cars
had been equipped with breaks they nught ha\ e
been checked in time to prevent the accident. It
will be remembered that only a few days since, on
the same road, the care were thrown tom the
track bv running over a call, and a man s life was
lost in "consequence. It is the opinion of many
that had the engine been properly furnished with
a cow-catcher that accident might have been avoid
ed. How many others in the long catalogue of
accident* on the State Koad, may have been owing
to this same cause, it is, of course, impossible to
surmise, but it is reasonable to suppose that many
of them might never have oocured, had this mat
ter been properly attended to.
We know that it is customary with the best re
gulated Hoads in the United Mates te have the
cars supplied with breaks, and especially with
those Hoads which have frequent steep grades. It
seems te us that a proper regard for the safety of
pa*aen«rs would require that the cars on the
State Hoad should immediately be supplied with
these necessary appendages.— Atlanta

from Washington to the Philadelphia Inquirer has
the following items:
The Senate, in Executive session to-day, rejected

premature to extinguish titles to land so remote at
present. The other Mincsota Indian treaties were
confirmed with amendments, the principal amend
ment being the striking out of the clause which
reserved fifty miles on each side of the Minesota
river to the'lndians.
A commercial treaty, with Southern Borneo, of
some importance, negotiated by Mr. Ballister, late
special agent to the East Indies, was also confirm-
Lieut. Meade, of the Navy, was confirmed;
having resigned his position in the Navy some
time ago—and since been re-appointed.
Mr. Webster, at the solicitation of his friends,
has consented to remain in office until the expira
tion of President Fillmore’s term. He. however,
will shortly leave for Marshfield, to spend the sum
mer months, as has been usual with him for many
years.
Negotions are now pending between this Gov
ernment and England, with reference to Central .
America, which will occupy some time, bnt pro
mise to settle definitely all the misunderstandings
which have existed upon the subject.

of General Taylor, by resigning, to take effect in

excursion, and gave entire satisfaction by tier per
formance, running the distance of twenty miles,
against wind and tide, in one hour and thirty-five

From the Ciarleston Courier.
j Messrs. Editors: I find in the Augusia Weekly
Chronicle & Sentinel, taken from your paper, a
j publication of some of the acts as passed in the
! General Assembly, in wfalth 1 find a very incorrect
account given of the Judicial case of Russel's com- j
j plaint from the Synod if Georgia, which I would j
; like to have corrected through your paper. And j
! in order to show to the reader that in the case, as !
I published, hold forth a rery different feature from I
: what the A>sembly did do in the case. I will first i
give yonraccountofit as published,and then what !
the Assembly did do in the case, as I have it '
through the hands of the Chairman of the Jn- j
dieial Committee, from the pen of the permanent i
Clerk of the Assembly.
Y’our publication I find thus
“ Afternoot a Session —The Judicial Committee re- :
ported in the ease of the ’appeal ot Bussell from the i
Synod of Georgia, tliat as there was no record of
the testimony before the Assembly, the Synod of
Georgia be requested to scud up to the next Gen
eral Assembly authentic copies of all the docu
ments in the case.”
Now from the above publication I see nothing
more than a favor asked from the Synod of Georgia, |
not even showing to those who do not understand l
the Presbvterian discipline, that it was the duty
of the Sviiod to send up those papers.
I will now give } ou verbatim what the Assembly
did do in the case.
The Judicial Committee reported No. r, the
complaint of James Bussell against the Synod of
Georgia. .
It appears to tho Committee that Bussell has con
ducted his complaint in due form, but the Synod
has failed to furnish the documents needful to its •
prosecution. The minute of Synod are present,
and complainant has furnished atttested copies of
minutes of Presbytery and of the testimony of
witnesses examined. But wc still have no attested
j copy of the charges which had been the basis of
J the original trial, nor of sundry papers referred
i to, in the Presbytery’s records and whiehhad been
| received as testimony.
The Committee recommend to the Assembly the
adoption of the following resolutions in the case.
u Resulted 1 et. That the Synod of Georgia be di
rected to send up to the next Assembly authentica
ted copies of all t heir records of the whole testi
mony relating to the matter of the complainant,
together with their reasons for not sending up the
p-pers to this Assembly, unless the case bo pre
viously adjusted.” ,
“Stalled 2nd, The papers received from com
plainant bo returned to 1 is own custody.
A trr.e extract from the Minutes of the General
Assembly. Alex. T. McGill,
. ’ Permanent Clerk. !
The reader will see in the above resolutions pass- \
cd by the Assembly, lstthut 1 have conducted the
case in due form. 2d. That tho Synod had failed j
to do its duty. Bd, That the Synod is directed, '
commanded, or ordered to send those papers up to I
the next Assembly and show reason why they had
not done their duty at this Assembly.

Napoleon.—ln the last work of Lamartine
(“Restoration of Monarchy iu France,”) we find
the following, which, as a cotemporary remarks, is
“as good in its way as anything in the adventures
ofßarou Monchausen:
“In one of his great battles, the historian des
cries Napoleon us being repeatedly seen spurring
liis horse to a gallop against the enemy’s cannon,
and re-appearing as if inuccessuble to death, after
the smoke evaporated. A live shell having fallen
ill front of one of his young battalions which re
coiled and wavered in expectation of the explosion,
Napoleon, to reassure them, spurred his charger
towards the instrument of destruction, made him
smell the burning match, wuited unshaken for the
explosion aud was blown up. Rolling in the dust,
witli tho mutilated steed, aud rising without a
wound amid tho plaudits of his soldiers, ho calmly
demanded another horse, and continued to brave
the grape shot, and to fly into the thickest of tho
battle.’’
Sea Captains who sail out of Liverpool nowa
days, assert that they care no more for Asiatic
cholera than for ordinary cholic or sickness of the
stomach. They have a remedy which they pro
nounce infallible, and so accessible and simple as
to relieve all apprehension of fatal rcsulte. W’e
shall probably tell many of our renders nothing
new, says the New York Times, when we state the
prescription: Common salt, one table-spoonful;
red pepper, one tea-spoonful; in a half pint of hot
water. Nevertheless, as wc have heard innume
rable instances of its use, and notone of its failure,
the repetition of the formula may do no harm. It
is at the service of the reader.
A new settlement called Minessota City has just

The Overland Emigration—Prevalence of
Cholera among the Emigrants.— By tiie arrival
of Mr. Josiuh Collins, from Fort Kearney, the St.
Louis Republican has reliable accounts of the con
dition of the vast throng of emigrants who were
oil their wav over the plains to California. From
an account kept at Fort Kearney, it appears there
had passed that place, previous to the 11th of June,
16,302 men, 8,242 women, 4,266 children, 5,325
wagons, 6,583 horses, 4,606 mules, 59,692 cattle,
and 10,523 sheep. This was exclusive of great
numbers who from taking more Northern routes
would not pass near Fort Kearney. The cholera
was prevailing fatally among the emigrants, and
Mr. Collins gives the names of forty-seven persons
mostly from the Northern States, whose graves he
passed to Independence. There were besides
twenty graves with no inscriptions, and of whose
occupants notiiing was known. It was feared that
the sickness would increase as the emigrants pro
gressed.
Southern Cultivator. —Planters, who is it of
you that docs not take this valuable monthly?
Certainly if there are aDV, you stand in your own
light. Aside from the great pleasure of passing a
leisure hour now and then in reading it, and the
great satisfaction of being in possession of the
useful knowledge which may be obtained from
it, —even in the tilling of a single crop, it will give
you such infonnaiiojibs will enable you to iny out
your work in a manner so much more advantage
ous, that the increased profits of your labors would
be nothing in comparison with the subscription
price. This number, like all preceding ones, is
interesting, every line of it.— Gallatin Argus.
Safety Ships.—A correspondent of the Scientific
American makes the following suggestion; ‘‘Safety
ships have been constructed in England divided
into water tight compartments. A variety of other
plans have been suggested at different times, some
of which are very good. Wouid it not be sufficient
to place under the decks and betweea the beams,
tubes or compartments of India rubber or gutta
percha, connected with numerous pumps on deck,
which might be inflated at a moment o? danger so
as to support the ship with ease ? These tabes or
compartments can be made to lie close against the
ceilings, and be kept there by pieces of wood,
pressed by a spring, which would give by pres
sure from within. The whole contrivance is sim
ple, in no way inconvenient, might be ornamental,
and of but little expense. How much more conso
ling to run to the pumps to infiatethese tubes (one
half of which ought to oe made sufficient to sup
port the whole vessel) than toset to work in anxie
ty and doubt, amounting to despair to keep the wa
ter out of a leaking sinking ship.
Explosion at Hcdson. —On Sunday evening,
about half past 10 o’clock, the immense globe
(reservoir of wind; at the Iron Works at Hudson
exploded. The report was heard some distance
off, and for a time created much excitement. The
upper part of it was blown otf, and it is thought
that the globe is entirely ruined.
It originally coat til.ooo, and from its position,
being near the line of the Hudson Eiver Railroad,
it was looked upon as a curiosity. No person was
iniured, but the damage is estimated from sls -
•too to tgo,ooo. Negligence on the part of some of
the workmen is assigned as the canae of the explo
sion.—Albany Register.
Fall or a Bridge.— We learn from the Boons
boro’ Odd Fellowtfcst on the sth inst., the wooden
suspension bridge over the Juniata river, six miles
north east of Shirleysburg, Pa, gave way and fell
with a crash in the water below, a heiglit of fortv
fivc feet. At the time the bridge fell the team of
Mr. Daniel Shind’e was crossing. Two men with
the team were seriously but not fatally wounded
and two horses were instantly killed. The bridge
was erected upon the Remington principle and
was owned by a company, upon whom the’ loss
falls heavily. It was only erected last summer.—
Ahe bridge is a total loss, except the abutments

A Mission to tse Asiatics.
Severalyears ago the then Administration of this
I Government instituted a commercial mission to
' several of the Governments ot Southeastern Asia,
j with a view of extending commercial relations with
! them, by the remodeling of existing treatise or the
I formation of new ones. Tho agent selected was
! Mr. Balestier, who had been a long time resident
: as U. 8. Consul at Singapore, aud his instructions
; directed him to seek interviews with the Cochiu
! Chinese, the Siamese and the Malays. Mr. Ba
. lestier executed this duty as far as was practicable,
. and lias made a report to the U. S. Seuate which
j has been ordered to be printed. A copy has
! reached the editor of the National Intelligencer.—
j A long notice appears in that paper of the 17th,
' from which wo are able to learn the results of the
j mission. They are rather meagre. Tbagoverumenta
; in that distant region have but a faint idea of what
the American Government is; and as the agent
was not attended by any imposing display of force,
he did not pass for much with the Asiatics. Thev
put on a great deal of dignity, and insisted upon
; some very amusing points of etiquette, to show
t how much more they think of themselves than of
i the unknown nation represented so humbly by a
quiet looking “barbarian,” clothed in black broad
cloth. Mr. Balestit-r started ou his mission from
Boston in August, 1549, aud traveled to China by
the overland reute, riu Egypt; and in that jour
ney record* the singular tact tliat there is no direct
trade between the United States and Egypt, and
that there is not a single American engaged in com
merce resident among three million# of Egyptians.
Mr. Balestier did not reach Cochin China lintil tiie
■ 25th of February, 1850, where be was landed from
the C. tLship Plymouth at Turong, accompanied
by Mr. Sean, an American missionary, for inter
preter. '
Mr. Balestier was charged with alettcr from the
President to the King ot Cochin China, and the
duty of offering reparation lor an injury done to
liis subjects by the commander of an American
vessel of war iulS4s.
The envoy had great difficulty in getting his cre
dentials even examined. A fortnight elapsed after
tiie proffer of the letters before an interview was ob
tained with any of the high officers of State. It end
ed rverv unsatisfactorily. The Cochiu functionary
had already received copies of these papers, but he
positively declined receiving the originals, for the
re son, as he stated, tliat they contained matters
“not correctand no messages are transmitted
to the King which have not been previously exam
ined aud approved. Mr. Balestier was deeply of
fended—declared to them that they refused tore
, eeive the President’s lerters on frivolous pretexts
! merely to have ou record no official declaration of
j our government against the cruelties practiced
upon Americans, aud with the purpose to contin
| ue such barbarous acts. Denouncing American
veugeaueo against their conduct, he quitted the
I country, and on the 16th of March proceeded in
I the Plymouth for Bangkok, the capital of Siam.
I There he fared no better than at Turong. His
■ first reception was cordial, and a day was appoint
ed for liis public reception ; but it appears that the
smallness of his retinue and the want of a marine
guard of honor to attend him filled the Siamese
with distrust and contempt. The cnolera was rag
ing, and the commander of the I‘tymouth would j
not permit auy communication of his men or offi- j
cors with the shore. The Siamese translated it in
to intentional disrespect, and all the efforts of the !
envoy even to got a hearing wore utterly fruitless. j
They cast all manner of suspicion upou his author
ity, aud lie was accordingly obliged to retire—hav
ing given the Siamese tho same threatening inti
mation which he bad left with the Cochin Chinese,
that they were assuming a heavy responsibility in
treating the authorities of the United States aud
their agents with such indignity.
The envoy next proceeded to the Island of Subi,
to deliver a gold medal and other presents to an
indejiendent chief, wholiadgivcnn very hospitable
reception some vears ago to the crew of a wrecked
American vessel.
Communication was also had with the settlement
of Sarawak, on tho Island of Borneo, of which the
English Baronet Sir James Brooke is Rajah; but
bis absence in England tnude it impossible to make
commercial arrangements with them.
Thence Mr. Balestier proceeded to Bruni, the
capital of the Island of Borneo proper, and was re
ceived by tho Malay authorities there with dis
tinction. He succeeded in negotiating a commer
cial convention, which has been sent home. By
its terms free entrance is given to American citi
zens with their goods, and protection to persons
and property whilst in the country, with the privi
lege to acquire and to hold all kinds of property,
aud to bo t ree to import every article of commerce.
In lieu of all other duties or charges whatever, one
dollar per ton of the registered tonnage of the
vessel is exacted, and nothing on exportation.
Free ingress into the ports and rivers to obtain
supplies at moderate prices is stipulated, as well
as protection, and the settlement of crimes or dis
putes by an American Consul, or other persons
duly appointed to hear or decide the same. This
places ns on the most favorable footing for the ex
tensive trade, which, before many years, that fruit
ful and teeming country may develop. Besides
the usual products of the tropics, tiie laud abounds
in gutta pereha and india rubber in inexhaustible
quantity, and among other mineral products, anti
mony ore and bituminous coal arc said to bo every
where found.
This was Mr. Balestier’s only success on his
mission. He returned to Macon. The Plymouth
was sent homo under orders; he missed other
vessels lie had expected, and procceded’to Batavia,
waiting for a passage, when lie received notice of
tho termination of Ins mission.
The results are very slight compared with the
extensiveness of tiie project, and we must conclude
that things arc left in a much more unsatisfactory
state than they were in before.
Tho King of Siam is since dead, and it is sug
gested that a powerful fleet ought to be sent into ■
those seas to give these Asiatics a more definite '
idea than they now entertain of what the American !
nation is.

A New Printing Press. —YVe learn from the
New Y’ork Tribuneihtfi Messrs. Platt <fe Porter have
constructed and how exhibit at A. B. Taylor’s, No.
1 Hague-strect, New Y’ork, a new Rotary or Cylin
der Printing Press—the form or formsrevolving on
a large and tho shoots being fed oil a smaller cyl
inder or more than one, after the fashion of the
great Hoe Press. On this Press both sides of'»
journal may bo printed at once—that is, tho first
side of one sheet and the second of another—so
that when a thousand white sheets shall have been
fed simultaneously by two different feeders, they
will all be printed on both sides. Or a job and a
newspaper, or cither and a book-form, or two jobs
entirely unlike in size and shape, may be p rui ted
at the same time.
The press now working takes a sheet 26 by 41
inches, and is fed by two men on the same cylin
der, printing (the builders estimate) 2500 sheets on
both sides every hour. This press, with all neces
sary fixtures, they offer to furnish to any extent
for SSOO each: while tho additional feeding cylin
der, &c., required to give a chance for two more
feeders and double the product, would only cost
SIOO additional.
The press is extremely simnle in all its part*,
does not weigh one fifth so much as tho Hoc press,
and is built at one-twentieth the cost of the latter.
It is also more approachable, requires far less pow
er (this one being run by hand,) ar.d, having fur
fewer screws, wheels, pinions, Ac., would seem
much less liable to get out of order. If it bo all
it seems, it must create a revolution in Newspaper
Printing; but it ha# yet to bear the ordeals of ex
perience and hostile criticism. Tiie printers, says
the Tribune, who scanned it on Wednesday, were
strongly prepossessed in its favor.
Rice Mill Burnt. —The brick Rice Mill nearly
opposite this city, ou the Carolina shore, together
with two Threshing Machines, and outbuildings,
belonging to Mr. Walter Blake, was entirely con
sumed on Saturday morning between 8 and four
o’clock. Fortnuately, there was no rice in the mill
at the time, and unfortunately there was, as we un
derstand, no insurance upon tho property. Tho
loss is roughly estimated at $5,000.
The light caused by the burning of these build
ings .was distinctly seen from tho deck of the steam
ship State of Georgia while near the off
Martin's Industry, as well as by the passengers on
board the steamer Jasper, from Charleston for this
place. It being in the direction of Savannah, the
passengers were led to believe that there was a
large fije raging here. There was no general alarm
given here. We have not loarned how the fire ori
ginated.— Sat. Rep. 28<A inet.
The N. Y. Express gives the pseudo philanthro
pist of the T/ilrunc the following well merited rap
over the knuckles.
“The Tnbune from the start has done nothing
but to make this institution [slavery] worse for the
slave, and it proposea now to to keep up the war,
expecting thereby, perhaps, to elect Gen. Scott,
without the votes orStutes where Slavery exists.—
If it would suspend hostilities until November, or
devote its time from now, till November in war
ring upon the slavery of vice and crime which ex
ists in its own midst, it would see less of an institu
tion which takes much better care of negroes than
is possible under the operation of passions and
prejudices which exist against men of block skins
in the Free States.”
A Factory Girl in Luc*.—Some three years
since, a poor factory girl working in one of the
villages on the Blaekstone river, in' Rhode Island
was given a sealed letter by a maiden aunt, with
a solemn injunction not to open it until she was 18
vears old. The girl was then 15. On the 23d of
laatmonth, being her ISth birth day, she opened
the letter and found directions for her to obtain a
fortune of SB,OOO willed to her by the aunt, who
has since died. On Thursday last the fortunate
girl obtained the whole amount in cash.
“ Mobile and Ohio Rail Road.” —Madison Co.,
Tennessee, has agreed to subscribe $250,000 to
this undertaking, by a vote of 1142 to 790.
The Mobile Register says : This is another link
to he added to the strong’cbain—assisting its inevi
table assuring us “ onr dream was
true.” Within four years we shall be enabled to
reach the Ohio in far less tima than yet achieved,
and without a single dread of snag, sawyer, fire, i
collapse, or collision.
Accident to the Steamer Planter. —We learn
from Capt. Stevenson of the steamer J. Stone, ar
rived here on Saturday from Florida, that the
steamer Planter, Capt. Corb, when off Warsaw
Sound, on her return trip from Palatka to this
city, at 8 o’clock Friday morning, sustained an in
jury by breaking a portion of her Water Wheels,
which so far disabled her that she had to put into
St. Catherine’s under sail, for repairs.— Seth.

Union or Telegraphs. —Some important ar
rangements and combinations in the “world o
wires,” have taken place recently by wmcb the
Morse and O’Reilly Telegraphs have been united
throughout the ft est and Northwest. The New
Orleans and Ohio line, extending from New Or
leans to Pittsburg the Peoples’ line, from New Or
leansto Lonsviile: the two wires ot the Louisville,
Cincinnati and Pittsburg line, and the W estern !
line from Wheeling and Pittsburg, to Baltimore j
and Washington City, are all direct parties to the
contract. Bv these arrangements most of these ,
lines come under the Morse government, and it is
the intention, says the Philadelphia Argus, to pnt
up prices about one-third. The opponents of mo
nopoly now look to the extension of the House
ncs, and will liberally encourage such extensions.
We learn from a passenger who came from Da
rien in the stage last evening, that some of the ne
groes of Mr. Janies Houston, of Mclntosh county,
have confessed that they murdered their master,
and have shown where the body was buried. Mr.
H. had been missing for more than a week, and it
was feared that he had been before the con
fession was made. Some of the Negroes concern
ed had kept themselves concealed for some time
and were recently brought back.— Sat. Republican

aiding the Agricultural interest.
Washington, June 26.—Mr. Wobster has takon
very strong ground ou the Tehauntepcc question,
and there is but little doubt that the vacillations of
the Mexican Government respecting it will now bo
stopped, and that good faith for the future will I
have to bo observed. 1
The U. S. Senate was not in session on Saturday.
The House of Representatives after some discus
sion passed on Saturday morning by ten majority,

Washington, Juno 25.—Tho delegates to tho Na- (
tional Agricultural Convention, after the conclu
sion of their business visited President Fillmore
and Secretary Webster, by whom they were agree
ably received.
The Democrats are extensively circulating Mr. j
Gentry’s speech against the nomination of General
Scott, delivered in the House of Representatives F
before the assemblage of the Whig Convention, F
and in anticipation of the Convention refusing to 6
adopt a finality Compromise Platform. It is said,
however, that Mr. Gentry will support the Scott
and Graham ticket.
Baltimore, June 25.—Advices are daily being
received which tend clearly to indicate that Gener
al Scott’s chances of success are improving. Tho *
enthusiasm in the large States is increasing, and
tho feeling of disappointment at first exhibited by
the adherents of Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster is
rapidly wearing off, and giving place to a strong
feeling in favor of the nominee of the Whig Na
tional Convention, so that there is every probabil
ity that an undivided front will be presented dur- ,
ing the ensuing campaign. 5
New York, June 25.—The boil r of Messrs.

COTTON.—At the close of our last weekly report the
market was in a very languid and depressed condition.—
Subsequent advices, however, from Europe, and the con*
dition of the American markets, imparted a better feeling.
There was an active demand, and prices rapidly recovered
the highest point of the season. In this condition the mar*
ket continued till to-day, when there has been almost on
entire cessation of operations. The stock on sale is very
small, and holders are very flnu in their demands. The
operations to-day are sufficient to base quotations, though
we think prices are the same as yesterday, when a good
class of Fair was worth 10# cents.

GROCERIES.—This has been another quiet week In the
Grocery trade,'the transactions being almost exclusively
confined to the filling of small country orders. The stocks
are generally very hill for the season, and we note no
change in prices. Our quotations will afford a fair index
of # the current rates.
PROVISIONS.—The Corn market seems to be In a sort
of collapsed condition, and the ffetient seems beyond the
skill of the doctors. There are a few sales for Immediate
consumption at 60 ®75 cents, at retail. We do not think
that a purchaser could be f jund for 500 or 1,000 bushels at
50 cento. The Bacon trade continues fair, and prices are
full.
EXCHANGE.—Checks on the North continue at #
cent, premium. On Charleston and Savannah par.
FREIGHTS are without change. The river is agaii very
low, and navigation quite difficult.

Mbmiw. Editors : At the date of our advices of the 4th
Inst., $ Europe, our Cotton market closed steadily nt full
prices, with sales of 8,000 hales. The Washington’s nd
vices, to hand by telegraph frein Southampton on the fol
lowing morning, imparted additional stimulus to the de
mand, and induced holders to offer their stocks less freely,
which caused a partial advance of #d. It) in American
descriptions, and the sales of, the day were estimated at
10,000 hales. The Canada arrived on Sunday, and the fol
lowing morning a brisk inquiry prevailed, resulting in sales
of 10,0(10 bales. On Tuesday less animation was apparent,
and the business reported did not exceed 7.000 bales. The
Atlantic’s accounts on Wednesday revived the speculative
feeling, and 10,000 bales changed hands at outside prices.
A similar amount of business transpired yesterday, in which
all classes freely participated, importers meeting the inquiry
more sparingly, but the market well supplied by specula
tive parcels yielding profit, being brought out for realiza
tion.
The total sales of the week (ns per details in the above
statement) amount to 69,010, of which speculators have ta
ken 28,740 and exporters 12,060 bales, and include 58,690
American, of which 19,850 are to speculators, and 9,600 to
exporters. The imports for the same time are 86,884 bales,
* of which 25,786 are American.
Prices to-day: Fair New Orleans, 6#®—; Middling,

Middling, s#®s#; Ordinary, 4#®4#d. Fair Atlantic,
9) —; Middling, s#®s#; Ordinary, 4#®4#d.
To-day’s business is estimated at fully 10,000 bales (2000
speculation, 2000 export;) the market closing firmly at the
highest rates of the week.
The continued activity In our market mny be traced en
tirely to the operations of speculators, who now see an ad
ditional motive for extending their purchases, viz: the
prospect of next season’s crop being a late, instead of (as
previous advices led ub to conclude) an early one, and,
consequently, greater chances of casualties occurring to
reduce the estimates formed of its probable extent, or, at
all events, giving them more time to resell, when such
should be desirable. The means to hold, meantime, being
obtainable at a cheap owing to the increasing amount
of bullion (now reported to he £21,100,000) flowing Into the
Rank. Exporters, who have operated freely, are influen
ced by like motives, and the trade follow in their wake,
more in fear than from necessity. Another important fea
ture is the promise of our having an abundant harvest,
which is usually attended by increased activity in the man
ufacturing districts, and keeps the precious metals from
going into foreign countries to pay for Corn, Ac.
Without any great accession to the orders held by spin
ners and manufacturers, there has been considerably In
creased inquiry for both Yarns and Goods in Manchester
during the past week, and at former prices buyers would be
disposed to operate on home and for foreign account. In
the absence of stock of any magnitude, however, sellers
show uo disposition to yield to this feeling, and consequent
ly the actual business is limited, but more activity Is shortly
expected.
From all sections of the agricultural districts we are re
ceiving the most flowing accounts of the growing crops of
Graiu. The weather has been all that could be desired,
and the promise of a bountiful harvest is everywhere
spoken of in cheerful termfl. The continental advices are
also more encouraging, and there seems to be little doubt of
our having large supplies from America. With a combina
tion of such circumstances, the trade here has ruled heavy
since our last, both Wheat and Flour being easier to buy,
the former to the extent of Id 70 lbs, and the latter 8d (it
6d W bbl. Indian Com has also suffered a decline of 6d ®
Is $ quarter, which, however, ha) caused increased trans
actions in the articles. At to day’s market there was a
fair attendance, but only a moderate amount of business
transacted, without particular alteration in the price of
any article. •
LIVERPOOL, June 15.—The market, since the Afric’s
arrival, has been dull and restricted. On Monday the sales
were not much over 8,000 bales, mostly American, and all
to the trade, if we except some 250 speculative. The pre
vailing tone of business was tame, but prices underwent no
quotable change.
On Tuesdsy 1,500 bales changed hands. Now Orleans
Fair was quoted #; Middling s#; Mobile Fair 5% ; Mid
dling s*.
HAVRE, June 10.—You heard from me, Messrs. Editors,
under date of the sth inst., per Franklin. On tho following
day the number of buyers was very small, and only a few
hundred bales changed hands. To-day there has been again
a dull market, and the sales do not exceed 500 bales. Prices
remain about the same, say New Orleans tres ordinaire 88;
Mobile 86; and Upland 84. Upon the whole the reports
from our manufacturing departments remain tyttiafactory.

OBITUARY.
Departed this life, at Appling, Columbia county, on the
evening of the 22d inst., Mrs MARTHA 8. BLOUNT, con
port of Wm. L. Blount, Esq., and daughter of Nathaniel
Bailey, Esq., in the 80th year of her age.
Death, we know and feel, is “ no respecter of persons.”
He enters equally 44 the palaces of the rich and the huts of
the poor.” The Prince, with the Peasant, have to feci his
cold and certain grasp. In the present instance, he has
entered a family, and removed from its midst one who was,
in truth and in fact, Its main prop arid stay. As a wife
she was kind and affectionate, presenting in her person,
and performing in her daily work, all that renders that
blessed name and relationship beautiftil. As a mother she
was fond and doting, realizing the maxim of 44 training up
the child in the way he should go.” As a daughter she
was kind and obedient. As a sister, watchful and over
looking—performing in this last character also, that of the
mother to the motberlees. As a mistress she was merciful
and attentive.
Thus, as wife, as mother, as daughter, as sister, as mis
tress, we have blended in the person of the deceased, all
those attributes and endearments, on which comfort and
happiness depend.
Here it is we can feel that the dispensations of Providence
are truly mists rious and wonderful. In the demise of
this inestimable lady, a void has been created in the home
circle which neither time nor circumstances can fill up.
Born and raised in this community, she has endeared her
self by her exemplary woith and lady-like deportment to
all who knew tier well—and dying, thus untimely, her ma
ny friends have now left to them the sad lot to mourn and
feel the loss of her early bereavement.
The deceased had never connected herself nominally
with any church : yet such was the calmness and resigna
tion with which she met the cold embraces of Death, that
all who stood round her dying bed, and watched her spirit
in its last struggle, felt that Grace, rich, spiritual and all
sufficient, came down from above upon her last hour.
44 Happy and consoling, in the last hour,” were the last
words fell from her lips.

In Newton county, on the morning of tho 9th inst., Mrs.
ELIZABETH OVERTON CARTER, wife of Major Thomas
Carter. *
Mr». Carter became a member of the Baptist Church In
early life, and -a. an ornamental member of the Church
which ahe wa» a member. She waa fully apprized of her
approaching death. Death was often the subject of her
conversation. She dwelt upon it not aa a gloom, but as an
animating theme. Her death-bed scene will never be for
gotton by thoae who witnessed It. It was the proudest tri
umph of the Christian Faith orer the terror of the grave,
calmly—quietly—she awaited the ttnie, aasured of an eter
nity of happineaa without a strugflb or a groan—she bid
the world adieu. The afflicting Providence that removed
her from our midst have smitten a large circle of relations
and friends with sorrow and bereavement, but bowing with
submission,resign to Heaven’a will, beboat our oouselation la
tbe strong assurance that which Is our loss is her eternal
gain. The occasion of her death waa that of a Cancer on
the breast, which baffled the skill of twelve different nhv
sicians, with that celebrated Dr. Mosely of Oriflin. P r

Bobtox, September 29,1848.—Dear Sirlt la now eighteen
year. «ince I was first troubled with the water-brash and
derangement of the stomach. 1 have taken advice of the
beat Physicians la this city and New York, in London,
Paris, Germany und Italy, followed their prescriptions,
and visited the several sulphur and other swings In this
country, the watering places of Germany, and elsewhere
in Europe, and kad found no relief. Since taking the Bit
ters 1 have never had a return of the Water brash, which
daily troubled me of late years to a very great degree.—
My appetite has returned; the extreme flatulence, severs
constipation of tho bowels, general debility, and sleepless
nights under which I suffered, have entirely left me. Hav
ing found so great relief from this most discouraging dis
order, I have recommended a trial of your medicine to
many of my friends, who are now using it to great advan
tage. And 1 cannot refrain from writing to you in its favor
and praise, for the good you liuve bestowed upon the com
munity ; him! trust that what little Is in my scope to offer In
extending the circulation of your “Oxygenated Bitters,"
will be done with grateful pleasure at all times.
Youre, very respectfully,
