Mb. Editor—A* the traveling season has now
fairly opened, it may not ho improper for me to
remind your unmerooa reader* and the public gen
ernlly, of the ample arrangement* that have been
made for their accommodation by the gentlemanly
and enterprising proprietor* of Catoosa Spring*.
Although till* is but the third season that thi»
delightful wateriug-plaec ha* been o|>en for the
rtoeption of visitor*, it has already beenne one of
the most attractive and fashionable places of sum
mer resort in the South.
Since |p*t season, the jirojirietor* have made ma
ny and important addition* to the previous attrac
tion* of the place, and no Ireautified and adorned ;
it, that the visitor* of former years now scarcely j
recognize it as the same “ Vale of Springs.” It is !
truo that Nature, who is over prodigal of her gifts, 1
lias lavished some of her choicest treasures here— '
hut it ret,uired no little labor, taste and skill, prop- :
»r!y to bring out and dovclope the rich resources i
of the spot. Ngw. however, thanks to the enter- :
j rise and lilrerality of the worthy proprietors, j
(Messrs. Hattv Y, Hksmax A McDonald,) we have ]
in onr own .South a watering-place second to n on ‘
n the Union for the completeness of iu accom mo '
datious—the charm of its refined and polished j
■ society—or the health-giving and invigorating pro- ,
pertic* of the various medicinal water* that guah
in nevor-onudng streams from a hundred fountain* j
ip tiiis aeeUtdcd and “happy valley.”
Let those, then, who wish to exchange the aultry \
and enervatin gmtmoaf.hero of the South for pure, j
mountain breeze*—the stilling and sandy “piney |
weed*,” or the crowded oud dusty city street, for i
a g.imps* of Nature, clothed in the richest and J
most verdurous garments; who wish to shake off .
the dull monotony of every-day life, und enjoy a
Mason of delightful recreatioi in the society of the
fairest and loveliest of the land; —let all who wish
to support on our oun noil a delightful and attract
ive plane of cm inner resort, hie them to Coronas,
without delay.
The conutry in the immediate vicinity of the
Springs, is very pleasant and picturesque, and as-
Jwrus charming walks, rides and drives in almost
every direction. The Railroad (which is within
two miles,! brings us regular mails, and enables 11s
to held constant communication with distant friends
and the busy world abroad. YVc have fine, seques
tered, rippling streams, in which abound fish not
too dnirdy or aliy, to whom we can occasionally
“ drop aline”; good shooting andhnnting grounds
—and when the out-door recreations, sports and
amusements of the iluy are over, sweet music, with
its potent spoil, stid the still more potent witchery
of bright eyes, woo* us to the spacious and elegant
talon, whore we “ chase the glowing hours with
flying feet," m.d “all gos* merry as a marriage
bell.-"
Blit the omnibus, laden with new visitors, ap- 1
proochcs—the enlivening strains of the brass band
fill the silent solitudes of the forest, and all is bus
tie and pleasing excitement, ho I’ll e’en close my 1
rambling epistle, and hafton down to the piazza,
in the hope that, perchance among the newly ar
rived throng of tho fair and gay, I may discover 1
tka familiar faces of boijjc expected friends. : <

Macs, July 16th, 1852.
Ur. iClilor :—Our commencement lias come and (
gone, and at wo love to solace ourselves by talking
of departed friends, so 1 have now no relief for the (
reaction which always follows tho literary jubilee,
but to tell you of all the pleasure which its cclo- j
bration caused among us, und to regret witli .
Bhakspearc, that “ was, is not is.”
Bishop Andrew preached tho commencement j
oermon, on Sunday, the 11th itmt., in the Motho- (
«liut church, to a crowded house; his text was
taken from that verso in tho Book of Proverbs,
in which favor is declared to be deceitful und
beauty vain, but in which praises arc promised to f
tho virtuous woman. As a literary production,
the seriiioii certainly deserves a high position (
among “the curiosities,” for seldom hus it.falleu(p (
to my lot to listen to 0110 more peculiarly unique (
and interesting.
Tho preacher warned his fair hearers-against the f
eultivathm of tho airs and graces to tho exclusion j
of the fur more important duties of housekeeping; (
told them of unhappy husbenda and ruined (
fathers, made by thriftless wives and naughty {
slaughters; ulternutely caused his baeholor audi- (
tor* tocurse their stars, ns lie portrayed the glory of ■
domestic bliss, and then to tremble prospectively j
at the baro idea of the formidable array of endless (
bills, with which fusliionablo wives greoted tlicir
“titan" on tho recurrence of the New Years day—
a time which the good Bishop thinks (and in (
which opinion i cordially concur) ought to bo sa- f
orod to tho performance of the pleasant duties of j
love, such us pretty smiling and sweet kissing.
Upon tho whole, I was greatly pleased with tho ,
treatment of the subject, alju-it I fear that he did >
not quite succoed In proving his second promise, e
in regard to the vanity of beauty, entirely to the
satisfaction of a very interesting portion of his j p
audience. I |
Monday nml Tuesday were devoted to the exam- [ t
Snation of the severe! classes, and a* my limits j (
will not permit me to go into a detailed account, I
nml as it would ho invidious to make distinctions j j
between those who all acquitted tliomsolvcs with | (
so much credit, J will leave toothers to herald L
forth tho particular excellencies of their favorites, ,
assured that whatever the most prejudiced admi- j j
rer will say of any, could bo raid of all with j .
justice. 1 v
Suffice it to say, the result was such ns to give | r
the hearers universal satisfaction, and must have j
insds tho gentlemen who liavc ehnrgo of the In-
Stltntio.n feet an honest pride in the work of tlicir
heads ft r if success bo the measure of virtue, #
tlio faculty may point with tho conildonco of the
• mother of tin? Gracchi, to tlicir charge, as tho best (
certificate of tlnffr competence. Tiio course of in- j
strnetion must commend itself to ovorv mind, cal
culated as it is to make education ut onco digni- (
.fled, useful and graceful. c
Strangers ooinnienaod making their appearance
cn Sunday, and continued to arrive during tho two f
<laya of tho examination in such numbers that 1
came very near making im original quotation, to
tho efleet that “ tho cry is still thoy como. i
they come.” AY’ bother it was my failure in making t
the quotation, or some more potent reason, oer- .j
v tain it is, the crowd increased not gradually. j
The Examination being through, we adjourned ,
0 n Wednesday moralng to tho Cburoh, whioh was (
kindly granted to tho College, for tho purpose of t
hearing 1 -ghtoen of tiio young ladles of tho gra
limiting class read tlicir compositions. The soots
were filled nt an early hour, by persons anxious to
witness the interesting ceremonies.
Among the audience were many of the first men .
of our State, to speak nothing of the bright fuooe (
of the fair and the grinning countenances of many
n itaj. Jones, who hail travelled long miles for the _
purpose of seeing “Mary” on tho stage.
All were satisfied, delighted, aud the whole
passed “merry as a marriage bell.” (
Tho compositions woro clutateend elegant, filled
with correct sentiments, and clothed in beautiful
language ; but as I have to speak directly of the
remaining ten who read on Thursday, I’ll reserve
tho further expression of my opinion till then.
On Wednesday tho Board of Trustees met, and
filled tho vacancies which were occasioned in the
faculty by Pro lessors Branham und Srosn’s resig
nation. The election resulted in the appointment
of ths Rev. Messrs. Burnt and Runnel to fill the
chairs.
On tho evening of that day, Prof. G 1 ttekbbrg 11.
assisted by his gifted daughter and classes, gave *
grand Concert in tho College Chapel. The room,
though large, was crowded to overflowing—so
much so, that it almost seemed that men were
piled on men; but every one was, 1 dare say, fully
compensated lor the incpuveuienco Buffered, by ,
the strait s *f sweet music they heard. While
li vtening to tho music of the harp, 1 oould but |
thiifk of the fable of Orpheus, amended by the 1
Nymohs.
Ban as everything, however sgreeable.mnst liav* ,
an ending, these pleasant and long to be remcm- .
bored exeensrs were concluded on Tiiursday. j
On that day tbs remaining ten Composition* were j
read, the diplomas gracefully conferred by Presi
dent Myi-rs, Bud the Commencement Oration de- |
livered by the Hon. Jlsww K. Jackson. The j
orator was happily chosen for the occasion. His
speech was appropriate to tlia circumsUtu'es, and i
in that the whole merit of such addresses tics— j
XU praised, as in duty bound, the influence of tho !
dear crest ares fcv whom ha was surrounded, end
(what was equally praiseworthy,) defended the eha- 1
rseter of that most viiliflod class of society yeleped ,
“ ladicj.’ men,” —spoke of the extended nature of f
woman’s sway—made felicitous allusions to the j
compositions of the class, and told anecdotes. — ■
q'iioee who ore judges of such matters werel be- •
lie vc > pleased, and no higher encomium is needed. i
C Xi looking over my page. I see that I promised '
~, va.'t more fully of the productions of tiio fair \
kenio) s, (or, rather, eenaritta*,) but my sheet at- j
resdv war. '* me that 1 have too long trespassisl j
upon yonr indulgence ;so 1 only „»y, they j
were just what tbev ought to have been: pretty, j
sprightly, and »'tty. The Valedictory was full of !
touching pathos, without a particle ot bombast—
and vour correspondent, at least, reciprocated the
Borrow which, in the name of her class, was ex- J
pressed on telling us “ good bye.” Gon bless
them I May they be ns happy as they ore fiiir, and
long live to adorn that society into which they have
just entered!
In conclusion, 1 take pleasure in paying tlii*
tribute to the Faculty, for their uniform politeness .
and attention; and in expressing my high opinion
of the Institution, which i* doing ao greet and
good a work.
Yours respectfully, Maook.

For ths ChrontcU (i‘ .Srniiml.
•outliern Female College at Covington.
CoviKGTox, July 15, JSS2.
Mr.] -orroß—At this blooming season of the
academic year, when Commencement exercises
and literary demonstrations arc contributing to the
entertainment anil pleasure of the public, it will
not be deemed an intrusion, 1 trust, by the readers
of your paper, to furnish, in behalf of the young
sin) promising female seminary located at this
plnee, a brief sketch pf its maiden exhibitions.
The 14th and 15th itiat. were devoted to these
pleasing exercises, which it waa my good fortune
to witness; and I feel bound, injustice to the gen
erous projectors and patrons of this Institution,
and its acting President, Assistant and amiable
1 Pupils, as well as by a grateful sense of tiio grati
fication with which I utteuded the exhibition of
these first fruits of its labors, to bear to the public
this humble testimony of its merits, and of tho
promised aid it betokens in the cause of Female
Education iu the State. No man who cherishes a
sentiment of State pride, or comprehends an idea
of the public good, can look upoirthe lovely sister
hood of female colleges which adorn this land, with
indifference; can contemplate the achievements they
haio already done, without exultation,—or antici
pate without solicitude and high hoj.es, the moral,
civil and religions good to the country, which is
destined to crown their future career. How much
Georgia is indebted to these noble enterprises of
education, both male end female, for the sound
and wholcsoino state of public opinion which is
raj.ldiy beooming an established element of her
national character, and for thy solid foundations of
intelligence, morality and religion which have
formed beneath tho pillars of the State, must be
left for tho future chronicler of these brilliant y curs
of her tiistory to tell.
Without indulging in reflections of a general
nature, I desire to call attention to this infant Col
lege, which lisa just risen iu beauty, like a new
star uj.on the horizon, and taken its place, with
modest lustre, in ’tho literary constellation. And
before J introduce the Exorcises and the names of
"he beautiful members of the Junior Class who
read compositions, let me say a word, in brevity,
in reference to this Institution. It was chartered
only at the last aeßsion of the General Assembly.—
It lias been erected and endowed by the citizens of
this community, without respect to religions dis
tinctions, and under the auspices of no particular
denomination or church. The College building is
undeniably one of the handsomest in th* State—
it Ima been so pronounced by many observer*. It
is n brick building, of largo dimensions aud beau
tiful plan, and executed in the finest style of ar
chitecture —situated in on oak grove, in llie eastern
part of the village—private, serene and tranquil,—
olassic and poetical in its inspirations. If nymph*
and muses had selected a home, they could not
have found a happier retreat than in th* aileut
shades of this forest grove. The College went in
to operation last January, nrnier the charge of the
accomplished Mr. M. C. Fui-ton, acting President,
assisted by Miss Keson in tlie musical department
au.l some brauche* of literature—a lady of very
graceful manners, and exquisite accomplishments
in her profession. The number of pupils is be
tween fifty and sixty; the small number is owing
to the fact that the building was not completed
and tlie College not fairly opened in due time iu
January last. A large accession is anticipated at
tho next Session, which, I here take occasion to
say, will commence on the 16th day of August
next. Tiio Board of Trustees, as I am informed,
have recently ordered a complete set of j.hilosoph
icui, chemical and astronomical apparatus, of the
very best American manufacture, equal in every
respect, if not superior to any in the State. The
Institution is now regularly organized, tlie four
Collegiate Gasses formed, aud tlie course of studies
classified und marked out; and in addition to tlie
assistance already secured iu tlie musical depart
ment, arrangements huvo been made to secure tlie
most efiloiont aid in the various departments ot
literature and science.
Now to tlie Exercises: Os tiio examination of
tlie various classes, which occupied tiio better juirt
of tlie two days, and extended over a variety ol
studies too tedionx to mention, I can only say,
summarily, that it was universally satisfactory and
gratifying. 1 cannot but pause a moment to con
gratulate tlie acting President and liis amiable
Assistant, upon the success of tlieir efforts in this,
tho first term of their labors iu tiiis Institution.—
Tho girls, even down to the least, are singularly
graceful and eelf-poeseseed iu tlicir manners, con
•oiuua of tlicir profloieucy; and, hy some good for
tune—the besuty of tlicir mothers before them,
tlie gift of Heaven, or the auxiliaries of tlie toilotte
—they ore all pretty, every one of them.
YY’edncsday evemug, at seven o’clock, th# exer-:
vises lam about to notice begun. A sj.leudiil hall
iu the yew College building, luminous with the
bright eyes au4 smiling laces of blooming girls,
and resounding merrily (ah I too merrily,) with tho
ready plaudits of a thronging crowd, wus the
soene that presented itself. After an appropriate
Prayer by Prof. Orb, of Oxford, the following
exercises in Mnslo and Composition filled up th*
order of tiio night :

j Literary Address. By Licit-* Q. C. Liu.it, Esq. |
Music.—Good Night s By the Young Lsdivs of th« '
Institution.
This is an outline of tlie performances of the j
j night; there were interspersed here and there !
several beautiful colloquies, dialogues, and recita- j
rives, by the little ones of tho preparatory dapart
j incut, which gave variety and spice to the other |
outertainmenta. The compositions above cuutuer- 1
ated were highly creditable to their respective i
j authoresses. The hail was so large that 1 think :
; they were not distinctly heard by all the assembly, j
11 had tlie honor of being invited upon tlie rostrum, j
end had a fair opportunity of hearing them, and
| without flattery, I prottounee them an houor to the j
j Institution. The composition next to the lost j
1 abounded in beautiful reflection*, Its style was j
smooth and elegant—the word* happily selected. I
f and the sentences full end flowing. There was an j
; air of j'oetry and solitary contemplation pervading ‘
tho thoughts, which comported well witli the i
serious and thoughtful face of the lovely reader. ,
| The last in order was exceedingly amusing, and
j although upon a novel theme, was one of the best, j
The fair writer had evidently stolen some hours 1
'• from her text books and devoted to bhakespeare; j
1 she had been dipping in Hamlet, end graced her j
! composition with some happy quotations. She ia
a cheerful, bright spirited girl, susceptible of bap- j
piness. and moat apt to make happy the 0110 who j
is destined in a future day, “to pick up the boil of :
thread, when the drops it upou tlie floor.” The I
i ‘■coquette" was t pretty thing, and a thing of;
sparkling wit. The writer is a graceful girl, just I
approaching the period when the arts of eoquettery
i usually begin to develop themselves, and is well !
j calculated to win ; bat I trust the will avoid the |
just censure of her own avoids. The “coquette" j
1 concluded with several stanzas of origins] poetry, j
reflecting the smiles of tlie Muse* upou th* youth- (
fill writer, and eliciting rapturous applause from
j th* audience. I was struck with the beauty of i
, tome thoughts in the third composition upon th*
\ subject of “vanity." The writer is an amiable
and lovely girl, gifted and studious. In speaking j
•f th* vanity of beauty, the aoid : “Disease comes
■ D? impair the loveliest form, to pale tbe blooming
cheek, and dim th* flashing eye.” I had been
i looking upon their beautiful forms and tbeir fair
, ftees, a* they sat ia semi-circular rang* upon the
stage, and hod forgotten until tlie sweet girl sug
gested th* thought, that like flowers of Spring
they bloomed uj>on earth but for a season. The
sod line of the poet stung my heart—
“ A»! wfcsbal knows they sil deesy-
The Ist »”d 2d were admirably composed. They j
presented on interesting contrast, tlie one upon
•‘Earth a scene of happiness"—the other the
1 Fickleness of Fortune. These two young ladies
I read remarkably well. They are both handsome,
though quite a contrast in the style of their beau
ty, at were their composition* in presenting the
i opposite sides of th* pieture of life- The ownpo
, ritisn upon Home wee e happy pieo*. I know not
i stM I moot admired, theteuehiog theight* ajvra
I the endearment* of home, or the amiable young
reader. Sue is younger thau many other* of her
clans, but qm behind them in tlie beauty of her
tUoni'ht*. aim the *clf-po*ses*cd and elegant man
ner in which she read. “There i« magic in Gold”
was wor»hy*of a Lady’s Book. Tlie fair w riter
r 1 cannot be far on cither side of sixteen. She is a
i beautiful being, tail and graceful in her irtkvtuient*
and just at tlie period when youthful simplicity
bleud* itself sweetly with the dignity of approach
. j ing womanhood. One who heard her cannot soon
j forget tiio propriety of her pronunciation, the
' balmy sweetness of her tones, or the radiant lustre
- j of her clear blue eyes.
One other member of this brilliant class I must
not forget. Her theme was—•• Nature an Instruc
tor.” She read about fourth or fifth in order.—
There were many beautiful sentiment* in her com
j*wition. She onfolded a bright page of the teach
ings of nature, and the illustrations of the teach- 1
ing* of “ Nature’s God but I was won away
from the contemplation of these by her singular
i beauty. I shall be pardoned for saying it—as she ,
is too young to love—but *he is undeniably as pret
!tvas an angel. If the reader of this sketch will (
I come to tlie next annual commencement'of this
Instimrioti, I will show him Julia—she will be a
rear older then—and if be docs not call her a
bbuuty, 1 sliall certainly conclude lie lias no cou
| ccotion of the beautiful.
Tlie conclusion of the whole matter, except the
sweet song, “ Good night,” wa» an admirable lite- •
rarv address by L. l(. C. Lamar, Esq., upon the j
subject of Female Education—the best i ever heard
i upon the subject. I trust it will be published.
Pardon me for licing tedious. I take leave of ,
j this subject by venturing the prediction that thia 1
I College is destined to as brilliant a career ot suo
i cess and usefulness, as auv institution of the day, j
dedicated to the same noble purpose.
Very respectfully, &c. H.
From the Georgia Citizen.
Hcolt Sleeting iu Macon.
i Agreeably to a previous notice, a large and re- j
1 sjieetaiile meeting of tlie citizens of Bibb county,
friendly to the election of Gen. Siott to the Presi
dency and YVm. A. Graham to the Y'ice Presiden
cy, was held at the Court House, in tiiis city, on
Thursday evening last, for the purpose of ratify
ing the nomination of those gentlemen and aj>-
pointing delegates to represent Bibb county in the
State Scott Couveution-of the 18th August.
On motion of P. D. YVoolkopter, Esq., tiio Hon.
J. H. K. Washington was called to the Chair, who
on taking the same briefly explained the object of
the meeting as above slated.
On motion of YY'lll. Shivers, Jr., Esq. Thomas
Pickney Smith, Esq., was requested to aet as !Be
erotarv.
On motion of Dr. L. F. YY T . Andrews, n com
mittee of seven jicrsons were appointed by the
Char to prepare matter for the consideration and
action of this meeting.
Whereupon the Committee, consisting of L. F.
YV. Andrews, A. D. YVool!i%>ter, Thomas P.
Smith, D. C. Russel, Robert Carver, Win. Shivers,
jr., and N. 11. Eddy retired, and after a short in
terval, returned and reported tho following Pre
amble and Resolutions : t
, Whereas, There exists much diversity of opin
ion in reforenee to tlie action of tlie National YY hig
Convention which met at liultirnore, on tlie 17th
June, and the nomination, by that body, of candi
dates for the Presidency and Vice Presidency, a
decent, respect for tlie ojiinions of our fellow-citi
zens, induces us, on this occasion, to declare tbe
reason* which govern ns iu resolving to abide by
and to support the platform of principles laid
down bv said Convention and the nominees which <
have fairly and squarely placed themselves upon
it. ,
The circumstances under which said Platform
was created, entitles it to the entire coflfidcnec of
the whole country und especially of the Southern
Whig of the National YY’liig jiarty. It hail its ,
origin in the patriotic impulses of Southern mein- j
hers of tho Convention, who framed the instrli- (
! ment with an eye single, to tlie peace and safety of ,
the Union und'thc repose of tlie .South. It is a ,
National and not a Sectietnal Platform, know'ing no
North, South, East or YY’est, but covering all the (
interests of this widely extended confederacy and ,
placing all under the broad JEgU of tiio Nktionul (
Constitution. ]
Tlie Plulform, so constructed by Southern hands, |
was presented to the Convention —carefully consi
‘dered and adopted by n vote of near four-fifths j
of Hie members—only 66 votes being recorded in ]
the negative. Tiiis action, be it remembered, was (
taken prior to tlie commencement of tlie balloting ,
for candidates and fairly and equitably fulfilled tho
condition precedent which was demanded by tlie j
Georgia YVhig Convention, to entitle it to tlie sup
jiort ot tho latter und its Representatives. All j
tliin was done in the spirit and letter of the wishes ,
of tlie Georgia YVhig*, and in an open and imdis- |
guised manner, presenting a favorable contrast, in (
this respect to the action of the Democratic Con- (
ventiou, whose platform, it adopted all, was liur- i
l ied through with hot basic after the nominations t
lind been proclaimed to tbe country, and in the ,
confusion of the breaking up of that assembly. ‘
To tlie principle* of the Whig Platform there is— ,
there can bo no objection, except on tlie part of j
Northern Fanatics and Southern Disorgamzcns.— ,

Os tiiese Resolutions, all good and expressive of J
sound Republican doctrines, we invite sjioeial at- {
tention to the 3d and Bth, as peculiarly interesting c
to tlie Southern portion of our Confederacy. Iu
the 3d, we have.it deliberately laid down a* the (
settled opinion of the YVhig jiarty, thniadherene* to „
the farewell advice of the ‘ Father of his Country,— f
of 1 keejiing ourselves free from all entangling *1- h
lienees with foreign countries’ is 11 wise, expedient
and safe policy. The Bth fully endorses the ro
cent Compromise measures of Congress, as a 'final
settlement of the questions involved therein, mid to ,
bo maintained and enforced as essential to tbe Na- a
tionalitv of the Whig party and the integrity of the „
Union/ YVc belive it would he difficult to find
language to convey u more hearty appreciation of
the soundness of those measures, ora more deter
mined purpose to observe the same, iu faithful- ’
ness and truth.
Having thus presented the platform, the Con- J 1
vention next went into a ballot for Standard Bear- 1
ers, to uphold and curry aloft through the canvass,
the principle* therein contained, and on the 58d n
trial, the choice of tlie Convention fell on Gen- 11
oral YVinfieldticolt, for President, mid the lion.
YV. A.Graham, for Y’ice President, two as dis- 11
tiuguishe l au.d honorable members of th« Whig 0
party as eould have been selected. 11
jftlt remains for us to see whether these (gentle
men, iu accepting the nominations conferred ujion 11
them, have dono' it in good faith, ana with au hon- j 1
est and eonscientio us devotion to the principles of “
the Platform and a firm determination to carry a
out tlie same, to tho best of their ability.
Tlie President of the Convention transmitted to ?
tbe nominees, the notificition of tlicir nomination, 11
with a copy of the Platform enclosed for tlicir con- 11
sideration. 8
To tiffs Gen. Scott replied in language so definite
significant and full, that we cannot see how there >’
could possibly arise any doubt, on the minds of t:
candid men, as to bis cordial approral of tlie prin
ciples laid down in tlie Resolution*. Ilis language (
is, * *
£gp “ I ACCEPT Tim NOMINATION WITH THE KERO- F
LUTTONS ANNEXED.” •
. vtr. “ The political principles and measures laid a
down in those resolutions are so broad that but lit
tle is left for me to add.” °
t-s?" “ Finally, for my strict adherence to the
principle* of the Whig parly us expressed in tue .
resolutions o» the oonvkntion and herein suggest- 11
ed, with a sincere and earnest purpose to advance 0
tlie greatness and tnippiness of the Republic and v
time to cherish und encourage the cause of Consti -
tutioruil liberty through the world, avoid every act 1
and thought that might involve onr country in an 11
unjnst or unnecessary war, or impair the faith of v
treatise, and discountenancing all political agita
tion injurious to the interests of society and danger■ t
oi/s to the Union, 1 can offer no other pledge or n
guarantee, than a long public life, now undergoing
the severest examination.” 0
Such language we deem an explicit, positive and I
unequivocal endorsement, by Gen. Scott, of all the c
prineijffes and measures embraced ill the Resolu- 1
nous. And the same mav be said of tbe accept- u
auee on tho part of Mr. Graham. It is full, clear 0
and unquestionable.
11l tho Jjglit, then of these facts and eousidera- 11
tions. and in tho absence of all reason for the suj>- t
port by YVliigs and Union men, of Gen. Fierce t;
and Col. Kingto the Presidency and Vico Prcsi- c
dency, be it therefore—
Betolced DL—“That the Platform of principles i
laid down, by the National Whig Convention meets 0
the cordial approval of our judgements and com
inendu itself to the enlightened patriotism of every e

selves to give a firm support to the same, believing t
that the safety and well boipg of the country and
its aduvnccinent in greatness and prosperity do- «
pands upon a faithful observance of its measure* 5
aud doetriues.” 1
Resolced, 2if~“Tlnit we recognise in Gen. YY in- «
field Scott, ‘the hero of three wars and ten pitched 1
battles'—an illnstrious citizen whose public servi
ces have contributed, vastly, to advance the wel- 1

Union meu, we have no sympathy with those who
disavow the action and repudiate the sentiments
of the National Convention, because their favor
ites have not been selected a* the standard bearers
ofthe party, and have no hesitation in declaring
that such a course is calculated to defeat ail tlie le

ments, and attributed the failure of bills ou that

a question by a member:
As to the third question put by tbe houorublc
anil learned gentleman, whether it is the intention
ofthe Government to prevent all religious proces
sions which lead to these unhappy disturbances, I
can only state that bot’n in England and Ireland
the Government have taken every possible pre
caution to discourage processions of such a charac
ter, or which can iu any way lead to disturbances,
arising out of religious difference exhisting be
tween different members oftlio community.
Wc have done so in Ireland with reference
the processions which usually take place at this time
ofthe year, by communication* between the Lord
Lieutenant and tue magistrates, expressive of the
desire of the Government to repress and cheek to
the utmost, processions which may lead to these
disturbance*. We have done -o, also, in England,
and all 1 can assure the House is this—that the
present Government are anxious, above all things,
that any of those ostentatious parades which nuiv
lead to religious disputes shall be discouraged anil
discountenanced by tbe Government, and I hope
the country will Support us iu doing so. (Hear,

Italt.—TheGiomale di Roma gives an account
of the Pope's visit to tbe excavations now in pro
gress by liis orders along the Via Appis. These
excavations have now reached some ancient burial
places ofthe Primitive Christians, near the farm of
Torre Marancia, where, it is said, Saints Nereus,
Aehilleits, and Domitilla are ouried. Here a wide
staircase of the fourth century lias been laid open,
leading to the crypts below, which are to be com
pletely repaired by M. Fontana, the architect.
The Pope descended the staircase, and followed
a long corridor giving access toacrypt where there
still are some ancient paintings. In another crypt,
of the time of the early pontiffs, there are still
some vestiges of the beautiful frescoes, designed
by the celebrated Antonio Roei. There are several
subterranean churches, ot rather chapels, on this
spot, some of which had been seen by Bosio, but
hail since become inaccessible; they arc now
cleared, and contain several large paintings be
side# many inscriptions by the first Christians, and
some Pagan bas-reliefs, which have been used bv
tiie farmer to cover up their tombs.
His Holiness partleuUriy remarked a copper
plate, on which is an inscription concerning a
donation made to mark Antony, the triumvir; a
highly interesting document. Tne Pope after
ward" visited the Cemetery of Calixtns, the stair
case of which has been repaired, and now leads to
a sepulchral orypt, containing paintings and in
scriptions showing tliat St. Cornelius, Pope and
Martvr, had been buned there.

California Intelligence.— We taketlie follow
ing items from the papers received by tho steamer
Illinois, at New York with San Francisco dates of
the 18th ult:
The Whig State Convention adopted a series of
resolutions in favor of grants of land by Congress
to settlors in California 011 tiie same terms as in
Oregon ; opposing the sale or leasing of the min
eral lands ; the establishment of a Branch United
States Mint in California; awccklv mail commu
nication between the Atlantic and Pacific, and lib
eral appropriations by Congress for a line ofuteam
ers between San Francisco and China and Japan,
and intermediate Islands in the Pacific; in favor
of the ruling doctrine *f Internal Improvement:
urging the duty of Congress to construct the
Great Pacific Railroad; endorsing the Compro
mise measures ; andoalling upon the General Gov
ernment to assume the imlcbtedness of California,
necessarily contracted in the protection and de
fence of her citizens in warfare.
The San Franciseo Chinamen have addressed
another letter to Gov. Bigler, relative to the diffi
culties with Chinese miners.
The paper j show that no less than 734 Chinamen
landed at San Francisco from Whampoa in one
day, jnst before tiie steamer sailed.
A table in the San Francisco lisrald shows the
excess of arrivals of passengers at that port over
the departures, during the month of Muv, to be
9,141.
Tiie Sacramento Times and Transcript, of a lato
date, says: We learn from a gentleman of this city,
that several teams with numbers of Chinamen, in
passing the mines in Eldorado county, have recent
ly been stopped, and ordered back to this city witli
their freight of passengers. Indeed, so excited
have some people become, within the last few davs,
that tents, merchandise, rockers, Ac., have been
burnt. In one instance, onr informant says, a tent
and merchandise to the value of SI,OOO, were de
stroyed in the way named.
There seems to bo much fear of another Indian
war in the San Joaquin region. A ]>arty of eight
miners left Coarse Gold Guleh about the middle of
May, 011a prospecting tour to the Upper Sierra,
near the head waters of the Merced. After travel
ing about seventy miles they were surrounded and
attacked by a large body of Indians belonging to
the Yeosemoty tribe, wltokillod two of their num
ber, named Rose and Rhnrborn, and wounded one,
Joseph Tudor. The party then fled, as their arms
and nnninition were out of order.
A company of U. S. troops were out in pursuit
of the savages at last aoeounts.
Three fugitive slaves, belonging to a Mr. Per
kins, were arrested atOpliir, on the 14th of June,
by Sheriff Allen, of Placer county. They were
taken from Georgia in 1849, on their promising
faithfully to work a stipulated time for their mas
ter, on the expiration of which they were to be set
at liberty. They sloped soon after they landed,
and Mr. Perkins returned to Tennessee. He de
spatched bv last steamers orders for tlicir appre

their arrest they had in their possession a span of
mules, a wagon and abo.it S4OO in money.
Sandwich Islands.— We have advices from Hon

Tho following from the Polynesian gives some
particulars of the massacre of the crew of an

About the middle rff November last, the sloop
Phantom, Captain Kendall, of San Erancisco, vis
ited that Island for a cargo of turtle. A bout was
sent ashore with all the crow, except the captain,
mato and boy. While thus weukened, a boat with
five convicts came off, attacked the vessel and kill
ed the mate; on observing which, the captain
jumped overboard, but was pursued and killed in
the water. The pirates then returned to the ves

The cholera is said to be prevailing in Victoria,
Gonzslea and other places on the Guadalupe rives,
and is attended witli great mortality.
The crops continue to look remarkably well.
Throughout the State the corn has come to maturi

The Nueces Valley learns by a private letter from
the Kio Grande that it is tile intention of General
Carvajal to make ono more attempt to take Mata
moras. The editor' doe# not think the attempt
will succeed, as Carvajal’s previous defeats have
given his enemies confidence, and he docs not pos
sess sufficient influence with tiie people.
The mail ri3er between Sun Patricio and Refugio,
and a companion, was recently met by about a doz
en Camanche Indians, at a water hole about eight
miles from the Aransas. They were well mount
ed, however, and only one of tho Indians could
overtake them. Ho rode up to within about thirty
feet, and was shot by the mail rider. Finding they
could keep out of danger, they tarried long enough
to observe closely how the Indians were dressed.
Four of them had on Mexican clothes. One of
these was killed; the others were naked. They
all had long hair, and were armed with bows and
arrows.
The Galveston Civilian gives the following state
ment of the profits ofstock raising in Texas :
In 1842, a gentleman in Brazoria county, who
does not like to see his name in print, but for
whose entire credibility we will vouch, gave half a
league of land worth not over $4,000 for one thou
sand head of m-at cattle. Since that time he has
supported liis family and improved a farm worth
four or five thousand dollars from the sale of the
produce of the herd; which has now, besides the
number sold, increased to seven thousand head.—
Os this number he has just sold four thousand at
four dollars each, or $16,000 in all. He estimates
that the number previously sold brought SIO,OOO.
The three thousand remaining arc worth $12,000.
Readers abroad must understand that cattle have
no food in this country, save what is furnished by
natural pastures.
The following is an extract from a letter pub
lished in the San Antonie Ledger, written from
Laredo, June 10, which that paper says is alto
gether reliable: .
On Friday, the 4th inst., a Mexican citizen of
this town, named Refugio Huet’e, was attacked
and killed by three Indians, within less than a
leagne from this town, and about two miles above
the military post we have here called Fort Mcln
tosh. The Indians escaped harmless, withont be
ing followed, down tha eountnr, and on Sunday
morning, the 7th inst., about dawn, succeeded in
driving off eleven horses and mules belonging to a
party of men from this town, encamped twenty
miles from here on the Juanita. The mail rider
from Corpus Christi, on the 7th inst., passed by
a camp just abandoned by a large party of Indians,
(he counted ten fires, anti calculated about eighty
were in the party,) at a place called the Eealitas,
about midway between this and Corpus Christi.
Some Americans met the mail rider just before
he arrived at tho Realitas, and advised him of the
presence of the Indians. By the latest arrival
from below, we learn that a verv large body of In
dians had passed close to Mr. Redmond’s house,
on this side of the Rio Grande, in front of Guerre
ro.

AIGISTA MARKET.
Weekly liepoit Tuesday, I*. M.
COTTON.—The market clones quiet after another rather
inactive week'* business. The stock in market is small,
and the offerings limited, with a demand almost exclusive'
ly for the better descriptions ; the transactions, therefore,
are nesoessarilj conQned within narrow limits. In this
state of things, notwithstanding the depression Jn the
European and other markets, holders are generally able
to obtain pretty full prices.
We do not feel justified however In the present state Os
the market in giving quotations, as prices are not well es
tablished and are to some extent irregular, depending
much upou the position of parties.

accumulation of stock, nor any diminution in production.
Money Market. —Money continues very abnndant. The
bullion in the hank has increased to about 22 tuitions. Con
sols 100)fc to
Cotton Market. —The demand during the week has been
on a moderate-sente, and some sales of the lower qualities
have perhaps been made a shade lower, hut holders show
little anxiety to push sales, expecting probably a more ac
tive business when the elections are over next week. This
week’s transactions amount to 52,75!) bales, of which 1700
on s|>ecu!ntion, and *T2BO for export; and a considerable
quantity also forwarded fiom the ship’s side unsold. The

last week’s prices.
The sales of Cotton for the week ending last evening are
52,750 bales. To-duy 0000 bales were sold. American de

witli firmness.

f&~ The most astoiil.lilng sucrcss of the Oxygena
ted Bitters. Letter from F. T. Wallace, Esq: *
Pamikh, July 1,1851. —Sir, —It is to me a source of In
finite pleasure, to be able to bear tcstimonjsfrora personal
experience, to the great value of the Oxygenated Bitters
as an effectual and complete remedy and cure for Dyspep
sia, in many. If not in all of the multifarious forms In which
that distressing malady exhibits itself.
I began to he afflicted in 1844 with Catarrh, and the diffi
culty increased rapidly until December, iB6O, producing in
the course of thut period Asthma. The first symptom of
disease, was an extreme oppressiveness of the head, then
followed a difficulty on the lungs, caused by the falling of
mucus, or which there was a copious How from the glands
ill the head, producing tightness, violent cough, pain in the
side, and innumerable attendant evils The accumulation
of mucus on the lungs, was such, that I could not breathe
when In a horizontal or reclining posture; aptl many nights
during the last two years, 1 enjoyed no sleep, except what
1 could get waUdnu my room. My breathing during the
day was often loud and wheezing, like an over-driven horse
and indescribably distressing*
During all this time I could get no permanent relief A
course of treatment by my Physician, would he a relief only
for the time that lie kept me prostrated by h. laxative po
tions, and tedious irritating external appliances
Last December, my attention was brought to the consirl
atlonof the Oxygenated Miters, by the Hon. Myron Law
rence, who at that time was rejoicing in the emancipation
of his own lungs, froip a twenty years bondage, by the
use of your medicine. 1 purchased four bo!ties Wyour
Bitters. ] have not yet used the whole of the third bottle
and 1 believe I am cured.
An excellent quality of the medicine, Is, besides its re
medial virtues, that It is rather desirable to take, being at
all times as agreeable as a glass of lemonade. I meet tier
sons almost daily, to whom I recommend ft, having faith
that they also can he healed. Very respectfully,
„ „ FREDERICK T. WALLACE.
