POLITICAL. . from the Rational JnUU'ujmor. Whig Extravagance. It i« a favorite tberne for the opponent* of the present Administration to charge it with extrava gantexpouditures. The same cry was raised against the administration es Jolin Quincy Adams, whose annual expenditures uveraged about twelve million* of dollar.*. But, so eoou os a change of rulers took place, the average annual expendi;urss fortlic first term of General Jackson was fourteen million a, for hia second term twenty-two million*, and for the four years of Mr. Van Buren’s administration about thirty mUliont. The practice of the Demo cratic party, when in power, in this respect, has al ways differed very greatH from Itieir precept* when out of office. Yot, noiwithstanding the notoriety of the fact Uiatthe Whigs have always administer ed the Government ou more economical terms than their opponents, th# old cliarge ia still continued, and is already made one of the battle-cries of the We have on a recent occasion sliuded to the sub ject hut now proptse to take it np more in detail as regards Mr. Fillmore's administration. in Congress the assertion lias recently been made that the Administration was spending *irtymiUi/ru per annum I One member, having stated a rather (ess sum, subsequently begged to correct his state went, acknowledged tliat h* overrated the amount, and requested permission to reduce his estimate to fifty-thru minions. We will not at tempt to explain why either of these assertion.! [ were put forward to the wor,d, when the facts of the case were so perfectly accessible, in the annual Treasury Report ior tec fiscal year ending the 30th June, H3l. This, the latest official document at the time these assertions were gravely made, ex hibited the exset amount to be S4B, 003,878 68, with full details of the sums under each separate head of outlay. This amount is only twelve million* l**t than stated by one member, ami onlyyfw million* less than what was stated by another. These handful of millions might have been considered small am runt* in the eyes of the gentlemen referred to, hut the foe* might as well have been stated, parti cularly as correct information on the subject was at me very time lying on their own desks in the printed Report of the Secretary of the Treasury. The accounts lor the expenditures of the fiscal year which closed on the 80th June, 1852, huvo just been oomph.ted, and they amount to about $45,760,000, of which sum $1,867,688 was for re demption of the public debt, whilst the amount for this object included in tbc expenditure of the pre ceding fiscal rear was only 85X1,245, be.ng adiii'er •ncc 0f51,34«,874. To this should also be added $875,1X10 interest paid on the now issue of fire per cent, stock to Texas, no portion of which was in cluded in the payments for the year 1850-’si. n,lik ing together $1,7x1,874, which being deducted leaves lor the veur 1851-'s2the snmof $44,125,000, being u reduction of nearly four million* of dol lars upon the expenditure of 1850~’61. But it is continually asserled by our opponents, when comparing these expenditures with those of Mr. l’olk’s administration, that the latter in cluded the heavy expenses ol' a war, whilst that of Mr. F illmore has been in a time of peace. . In ma king this assertion, however, no allowance is made for tiie heavy items arising front that war; lega cies wnich Sir. Polk’s administration lias left as heavy burdens upon the Treasury, somo to con tinue for years, and some probably to bo perpetual. We are willing, however, to compare the pre sent Whig expenditure with that ot Air. Polk, not during the war with Mexico, but previous thereto, making due deductions from the Whig expendi tures for those items of increased outlay which the Polk administration has entailed on the tuition in consequence of that war, and the payment ot which is unavoidable, and such other items as iiavo necessarily become additional charges upon the Treasury, which hud no previous existence as such or of sums which really do net form any portion of the usual ami regular expense* of the Govern ment. Or, in other words, to compare the expen ditures of Mr. F'illmore's administration with tlmso of Mr. Polk’s for the same objects. Thai there may bo no mistake on the subject, we will proceed to state them on the official author ity of the annual Treasury Report, laid before Congress at the opening of the present session. F irst let ns observe, however, that the peace ex penditures under Mr. Polk’s administration for the fiscal year, ending June 80, 1848, previous to tiie Mexican war, by official accounts, was $26,090,- 774, and we will make the comparison with the Whig expenditures for tiie fiscal year ending June 30, 1851, though that, as already elated, is nearly tour millions more than in tne last fiscal year, ending tiie OCltli ult. The preceding expen diture for the fiscal year 1846-’8 included no por tion of tiie payments tor cither principal or interest ol tiie public debt, or for trust funds. Though hostilities commenced iu Moxico a few •weeks prior to the end of that fiscal year, and though urruugcmenlH for the war were immediate ly commenced, yet very little if any actual pay ments lor tiie war were made from tiie Treasury previous to the then now fiscal year; and if a re faction in made oil that account, flud the real peace expenditure placed at tiie reduced and round sum of $20,500,000, it will probably bo very nearly or quite correct. In the expenditures, then of the present admin istration for the fiscal year ending the Both Juno, 1851, we find the following war items, viz: Ist. The fourth instalment of tho indemnity to Mexico, under tho treaty of peace, amounting to $8,242,400. , , burely it is not intended to make tho VVlugs ac countable for this asm 1 2d. The next item is for indemnity to our citi zen* lor claims upon Mexico, and provided for under tiie siuno treaty, inadoaud approved by Mr. Polk, amounting t052,51(1, 01d. (Vo hope tho Whigs may bo excused from all re spon* ihility, ns an item of expense, for or on ho count oi tins itcnie interest ou the public debt, $3,696,721. Os this light upwards of $18,00u,000 was created bv Mr I’olk in prosecuting the Mexioan war, but no portion of the interest, even on the dobt which existed previous to tiie war, is included in the sum stated above ss the annual peace expenditure of Mr l’olk previous to the war. Os the nbovo in terest, about $2,800,000 is upon tho war debt, -which it certainly will not be fair to uiako tho ■Whig Administration accountable lor. 4th. For arrearages puidto Mexican Voluutcors, which the Whig* should certainly, in like manner, be excused. . Mli. Payments tor pensions granted u couse nuanoo of the Mexican war form another item amounting to the sum of about $600,000. This must also be placed to the debit ot Mr. Polk’a administration. . . 6th. The expenses of running and marking tue boundary line between Mexico and tiie United Ktat.es is anothor contingency arising out or the Mexican war bequeathed to the Whig administra tion, and amounts to the sum of $204,377. 7th Kefnndinfc duties collected in Mexico \ ex t>oic*es of Commissioners under the Mexican treulv, draughtsmen, and contingencies of the boundary line, and expenses incident to the war Joans ami Treasury notes, all items connected with tiie Mexican war, and justly chargeable to Demo oratie rule, amounting to $59,916. , The shove items, ufrer deducting tiie interest on the debt existing previous to 1845, lorm an aggre gate of more than *10,000,000 for expenses grow ing directly out of the Mexican war; the payment of which wu unavoidable, and hna been direct!? saddled upon th* Treasury by the Democratic Adminietmtion of Mr. i'olk, and in noway lormod a portion of Mr. l’olk’s peace expenditures aute terlor to tho war. , , The following additional items arc of n clisrne t,sr which formed no portion of the an nual expen diture* undor any former Administration : Ist. The expenses ol’ colleotiug the revenue ftoin customs Contingent expenses ot ditto..

Trust fluids paid, $257,893. . Nothing under this head is included m tho above expenditures for the year 1949 under Mr. ■* °iiYh. Expenditures for the Indian Department forth* rear ending B'th June, 1851, were $3,815,• 699, whilst under Mr. Polk they were only $1,223,- 88o! making a (inference of $1,587,319. The additional expenditure under this head has beeti made in pursuance of special acts of Con gress, and principally under new treaties with tho Indians. We will pottso here, without bringing into tho statement rnanv otlier items which could be fairly introduced, such as payments of private claims au thorized by special acta of Cotigress, building new custom-houses and marine hospitals, erection ot buildings in new Territories, exi<iidituroa tor public buildings in Washington, Ac.; tor, though many of th-.*eo item* wer© not properly classed with the actual current expenses of tlie Govern ment, they were in like manner incurred under the administration of Mr. Polk, yat by no means to the same extent as Congress has greatly extended the expenditures under these heads. Let us, then, sura up our statement in the form of a Rhc (citcuxtios. Direct and unavoidable additional expenditures «n>lcr t.ie Whig Administration inconsequence of the Mexican war, vix: Ist.

But we are not satisfied with a re sult , and must, in order to show how much mart eco nomical it hi* been, urge the additional and impor tant fact t hat, in the above sum of $25,£43,965 is in cluded the Mtpnuoualy increased expenses which have been unavoidably inenrred, and which still continue, in consequence of the large acquisitions of new Territories. It is not possible to come at the exact amount of tlie*e increased expenees, but we will state that the army is now one-half larger than it was liefors the Mexican war; that the pay of that portion of it on the Pacific coast has been doubled by Congress; and that the expenae of maintuing troop* there, as well as in the interior of Texas and New Mexico, where the larger portion of the army i» obliged to be quartered, is three, four, and live-fold whnt it w»s at tiie stations occupied by it previous to the Mexican war. Tiie increased expenditures in the War Department nnder the above bead over those of 1848, as shown by the Treasury Report, is $4,556,709.75. The naval force lisa also, in consequence of these accessions of territory, been considerably augment ed, and that portion'which is now kept on the Pa cific station can only be maintained there at a vast ly greater expense. If to tiieae items should be added the expenses of the Civil Governments of the new Territories, and the whole increased expenses under all the foregoing and other heads in consequence es the accession of those Territories, they cannot proba bly be estimated at less than two miixioxs ol dol lars- which, with the additional expenditure of the War Department, would, in round cumbers, make $6,500,000 as increased permanent expendi ture* on account of the new Territories, besides th* interest es the War debt. We have seen estimates carrying tiie whole addi tional expenses of the Government, in conse ' qu-nce of the acquisition of the new Territories, ss i.igh as nine millions of dollars, and th* one we i.uw make is certainly within the actual amount, and would be more so if the appropriations for the new custom-houses, hospitals, mints, lighthouses, dry docks, Arc. in California were included, a* there item* will count by millions of dollar*. Tiie final statement of the account would then stand as follows: Total expenditures for the yean 1956-61 $49,606,876 Deduct Mr, Polk’a War Hems as already ahosrn $10,954,t0t Other firms, a* slv> shown, which formed no portion of the expendi ture under Mr. Polk in a time of peace. 8,767,479 Expenses of the new Territories as already eatinnited 6,500,000 $21,813,916 Leaving the sum of $21,843,915 to cover the same items of expenditure which, under Mr. Polk’s administration, previous to the Mexican war, cost 26,600,000, and showing an economy of $4,656,035 in favor of Mr. F'illmore's administration, besides the natural increase of expenditure which unavoid ably results from the rapid advance of the country. Aa already atated, the expenditures for the fiscal year ending the 30th June, 1851, were $49,005,378 Those for the year Jmt closed, end ing 30th June, 1952, as ahown above, and including the same Items, were... 44,125,000 $3,880,879 Showing a further economy of $3,880,678 by tho Whig Administration in one year, which, if con- ‘ tinned at the same ratio for the next fiscal year, and , for the lour years of Gon. Scott’s administration, , would, at the end of his term, reduce tho annual ( expenditure to about $25,000,000. , Wc are fully aware thnt it is not safe to make , statements tor tiie future on thjs basis, where so , many contingencies may occur to mar the calcula- ( tions, though wc think that our estimate would , corno much nearer the mark than some es the pro- . phccics put forward officially under Mr. Polk’s ad- , ministration as regards tiie fiscal concerns of the ( Notion, and particularly those in connexion with , tho probable result* of the Tariff of 1846. t In Mr. Secretary Wulkor’s Annual Report to | Congress in 1847, ho refers to the TableCC. annex- j cd to it for tho probable increased export* otitomes- ( tic production* under a system of low duties, for : which lie gives the following figures, viz: . In 1843..: $222,899,850 \ 1350 433,445,056 The actual result as shown by official documents t is that tho exports of domestic productions were: ( In 1949 $132,904,121 , 1649 182,666,955 . 1600 136,946,922 j Wc sincerely trust that wo shall not err to the t same relative extent as the above in our estimates , of tho probablo reduction of the National expenses t under the present and ensuing Whig Administra* j tions. i ■. » ■ ■ t Maas Meeting of the Friends of Freedom < PiTTsßtmoH, August 10.—A rftta meeting, or iu- J formal Convention of tho Frionds of F’rcedom, was 1 held to day in the Masonic Hull, in this city. About ? 20n persons were present, representing Alleghany, J Armstrong, BeJver, Butler, Clearfield, Chester, ’ Dauphin, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lancaster, 11 Luwruuco, Mercer, Montgomery, Northampton, Potter, Suliuykill, Venango, Washington mid 1 Wayne counties, and tho city and county of Phil- c adelpliia. No credential* were offered, but every < friend of freedom was udmitted on reporting his it numo, thus representing every shade of anti-slave- 1 ry doctrine. a Permanent officers were chosen, as follows: c President, IVm. B. Thomas, of Philadelphia; Vico t President, Chas. Avery, of Alleghany: It. Mitchell, of Indiana county; Robert Uunna, of Mercer coun ty ; Joseph Mann, of Potter county; E. J.

A rcsolultiou wuh adopted that each delegate give his post office address, in order to establish, c by correspondence, a more effectual organization S or the party. s A businoss committee of uino was appointed to c prepare a series of platform resolutions, viz Dr. li Lcmoyno, Washington; Jno.

At 2 o’clock the Convention re-uasenililed, when J tho Committee appointed to prepure a platform re- f ported the following, which was adopted. Resolved, That civil government is an ordnance ® of God, and men are only delegated agent* to carry I out righteous purposes, by rightful means; and ' whenever human laws are opposed to God’s will, r such laws uro null and void, and are not binding 4 upon men, cither morally or politically. 0 Rentrea, That a rendition of fugitive slaves, 11 either by National or State authority, is wicked, contrary to God’s will, and not binding upon any * citizen. t Resolved, That we are opposed to slavory of eve- v ry kind and iu favor of every constitutional effort n to abolish it. I Rr solved, That we are opposed to any and ovory s compromise with slavery, and that no lapso of u time cun render any such compromise binding upon o us. c Resolved, Thnt wo are not only opposed to the u abuses practised under tho Fugitive Slave Low, 1 but are in favor of its absolute repoal, because we r believe it unconstitutional. n Resolved, That the Democratic and Whig parties r having basely bowed tho knee to the dark spirit of v slavory, there is no course left for tiie friends of j Liberty to pursue but to refuso to co-oporote with either. t Resolved , Thnt a third party, opposed to tiie n Compromise Platforms of the otlior parties, should t not be a party of one idea, but should embrace in r its principles tho acknowledgments of man’s nn- b turn! rights to tho soil as well us to himself, and oi s tho duty of a Republican Government to seo that tho Jaws of tlio Nation uro not disregarded, to its ti injury, by despots. f: Resolved , That we are in favor of tho freedom of p tho public lauds, to actual Bottlers, iu limited quan- s tie*. . P Jit mired. That the homestead of a family should b he inalienable for debt, under proper limitations hi as to amount, si R, relied, That tho right of self government by u nations springs necessarily from tho doctrino of e tuo right of the individual man to self-government; o that where this right of self-government is violatod by unsolicited intervention on the part of any o nation, tho true and only remedy for sueli Invasion p of right is contravention by otlior nations for tho c sake of uon-intorvontion, and that it is the duty o of this government to interfere, by all peaceable means, on belmlf of tho liberty of any nation tl struggling to be free from the power of the aggres sor. o Resoleed, That the Constitution should be amend ed so as to render the President, Vice-President, KenuUfp and all ministerial officers cloctive by a p popular vote, _ 0 Rernleed, That, as Ip the words of Washington, j in proportion as tiie structure of a Government ] give* force to public opiniou, 4 U essential that j public opinion bo enlightoned, we are ip favor of j Ino cheapest letter and newspaper postage system vbiob can lie afforded, not only in this country, but between our own and other nations. u Resolved, that we are opposed to all class Le gislation, spesWl privileges, and rolling enactments, 0 ami that, as a remdy for these evils, we demand c the passage of general laws, and that eacli bill be oonunod to one objoct, which snail be named iu tbc ; title. li Resolved, That, as the safety of Republican Gov ernment* rests in a great degroo on the faithful- j ness of tbe representative to the will of his con stituents, and this faithfulness can only be socurcd a bv single and compact districts, wc demand tbe division of this State into as many districts, as ( there uro representatives to bo elected. t Resolved, That a State Committee of seven bo j appointed by tho Chairman. , The Committee also reported in favor of estab- ( lishing a party newspaper organ at Harrisburg.— ( Tiiis proposition was laid on the table. ( After appointing seventy-five Delegates to the | National Convention, and nominating on electoral ticket, the Convention adjournod to Wednesday < morning. t The Fisheries. The New York Tributu of Monday, has tiro fol lowing special despatch in relation to the Fishery question, which wc give for what it is worth: Washington, August S, 1352. Mr. Crampton. tho British Minister, has had an interview with tlie President, and informed him that laird Derby has taken the Fishiug Question out of of his hands, and referred it to th© Colonial Government. Another despatch says: Tlie announcement that the fishery* difficulties arc settled is premature. Mr. Crampton, the Bri tish Minister, had an interview with tho President to day. I have the best reason for believing that, so far from tho matter being settled, the gravest fears are felt. It is ascertained that tlie British government never contemplated enforcing tlie dis puted point of the treaty as to the headlands, bnt the colonial authorities haTO always contended for this interpretation, and have passed laws to that effect. Five of the armed cruisers fitting out by tho colonists are instructed to seize oil American fishing vessels violating that interpretation of the treatv. They even go turtiier, and declare that any fishiug vessel found within the three miles arc law ful pnzes. Admiral Seymour, it appears, is as de sirous of preventing the execution of this forced construction as Commodore Pern* can be, bnt the danger is. that notwithstanding liis watchfulness, some such seizures may take place. Besides, there are at least twenty thousand American fishermen inters ted in this fishing trade, and authentic in formation has reached here that they ore daily be coming more and more excited. St. Johns, N. 8., Aug. Uth.—The steamer Mis sissippi arrived here on Saturday, and it is thought the Fishery dispute will be amicably settled. Tlie Provincial papers are exceedingly incensed at Mr. Crampton for ordering Admiral' Sevmour tt> sus pend his operations, and they urge his immediate r»-x'ali. Giovcestsr, Aug. 11—Arrivals from the Fish ing Grounds bring information that the schr.C. N. Rogers was boarded in the hay of Chalour, by an officer of the steamer Devastation and ordered out of tho bay, together with 20 others. The schoon ers at the thus were 6 or 6 miles distant from the shore. Her papers were called for by the English officer, who looked at them, crumbled them in his hand and threw them on the deck in an insulting manner. An Eastern schooner getting water in one of the bars was ordered oat by the Euglish cutter and was not allowed time to take in her supply of water. \ Gloucester vessel, which bad put into Port Rood for harbor, was allowed by the officers of the cutter to remain, but tho people on the shore objected sud compelled tho officer to drive her off imme diately : other vessels were served in the same way. It is also reported that an American schooner was fired into while escaping from tho cutter and and a man at the helm wounded.

The following letter from Mr. Webeter was written, May 17th, 1833, in reply to one from* Mr. Bolton, of Savannah, making enquiry of the otrta of Northern feeling on the subject of slavery: New York, May 17,18?$. Jfy Dear Sir l have received your H'.er of last evening, requesting tne to state my opinion of the rs of Congress ou the subject ot slaves and slavery; nml of the existence of any wish or <le&igD, on the purt of Northern men. to interfere with tiie security or regulation ot that speeies of property. . iiv sentiment* on this subject, my dear sir, have been often publicly expressed ; but I can have no objection to repeat tbe declaration of them, if it be thought by you that such declaration might, in tho smallest degree, aid the friends of the Union and the Constitution in the South, in dispellinf prejudice* which are so industriously fostered, anc in disquieting agitations so unnecessarily kept alive. In my opinion, the domestic slavery of the Southern States is a subject within the exclusive control of the States themselves ; and this, I am sure, is the opinion of the whole North. Con gress has no authority to interfere in the emauci roition of slaves, or in tiie treatment of them in anv of the States. This was so resolved by the House of Representatives when Congress sat iu this city in 1790, on the report of a committee consisting almost entirely es Northern members; and 1 do not know an instance of the expression of s difference of opinion in cither Uonse of Con gress since. I cannot say that particular individ uals might not possibly be found who suppose that Congress may possess some power over tbe subject; bat Ido not know any sneh persons, and if there Ire any, lam sure they are lew. The ser vitude of so great a portion of tiie population of the South is undoubtedly, regarded at tbe North as a great evil, moral anil political ; and the dis cussions upon it which have recently taken place in the legislatures of several of the slavcholdiug States, have been read with very deep interest. But it is regarded, nevertheless, as an evil, the remedy of which lies with those Legislatures themselves to be provided and applied according to their own sense of policy and duty. The impu tations which yon say and say truly, are constantly made against the North arc, in my opinion, entire ly destitute of any just foundation. I have en deavored to repel them so Jar as lias been in my power, on all proper occasions ; and for a fuller expression of my opinion, both on the power of Congress, and tho groundless charges against Northern mep, I beg leave to refer you to my re mark* in tiie debate on Mr. Foot’s resolutions, in 183 °- . , , ~ I am, mydearsir, with true regard, your obedi ent servant, Danif.l Werstkh. To John Bolton, Esq. from tht Savannah Rejruhlican. Savannah and Albany Railroad. A move has just been made in this city in con junction with parties in Europe to construct a Rail read from hence t® Albany in Baker County Georgia. The charter to be used for this object is one obtuined by Col. Tift from tiie Legislature of Georgia in 1849, and subsequently amended. Tho object to be attained is the opening out of those re gions in Southern Georgia now deprived of a market; to reach in particular the'inexhaustible soil of Southwestern Georgia, and ultimately to ex tend the work on to the waters of Mobile Bay, and probably, further througii Alabama and Mississippi with the view of striking that line of improvements destined to be made in tiie direction oi* California through tiie Paso del forte. It is proposed by tiiis road to bring into the market large tracts of land owned by tbe parties residing in Europe, but it lias no connexion whatever with any other work of internal improvement hitherto sturted or pro jected. It may or may not avail itself of the gra ding on a part of General Brisbane’s (Mr. Spauld ing’s) road, according as the directors may decide. We shall in due season give our readers further information on this subject, but it may suffice to say for the preseut that its importance can not be over-estimated. This road or some one like it is destined to be built. The public mind is directed to such an enterprise, and it will not be diverted from it. The whole affair is merely a question of time. Meanwhile a preliminary organization of directors has been held here, which may be produc tive of beneficial results, when the character and the high sociul and publie position of the Savan nah directors is known abroad. Mr. Kelly the agent representing the parties interested out of tiiis country, gives assurance that he can produce a bona pie subscription of two millions of dollars toward* tiie accomplishment ol’ tins object. Should such be tiie case, there appears to b« no obstacle in tiie way of its certain and speedy completion, for the city of Savannah will unquestionably extend a helping hand according to her ability. On Tuesday last, Col. Nelson Tift, and Gen. A. 11. Brisbane, having been legally authorized, organized the Savannah and Albany Railroad Company, according to tiie charter granted by the State of Georgia, in 1849, and the amendments iu 1849- 50 and iB5l-’52, by the udoptiou of articles of association and by-laws for tiie regulation of tho company, and tbe election of the following Direc tors : James P. Screven, of Savannah, Gs. William Duncan, “ “ “ Jno. W. Anderson, “ “ “ Hiram Roberts, “ “ “ Abbot A. Brisbane, Charleston S. C. James M. Mercer, Albany, Ga. NclaoM Tift, “ “ The Savannah Directors were chosen for a combination of all tho necessary qualities to tho Success of the enterprise, after consultation with some of tho principal citizens, and they were asso ciated with Col. Tift and Gen. Brisbane, iu per fecting the articles of association previous to their adoption. These articles of association and by-laws are fundamental regulations of the company, which recalculated to secure a proper administration of it* affairs, anil which cannot bo changed except by a meeting of stockholders in the manner provided. The leading features of tiie charter of the Savannah and Albany Railroad Company are contained in tho following extracts from the original eharterand tho amendment passod at tho last session of tho Legislature. By tho first section of tiie act of incorporation, the company are “ invested with all tho rights, privileges and immunities which by tho laws of Georgia arc hold or enjoyed by any other incorpo rated Railroad Company or Companies, subject to tho restrictions connected with and necessarily consequent upon such rights, privileges and im munities for tho purposes hereafter specified. * * * * “The object of the company shall bo to construct a railroad communication be tween Savannah or tho Central Railroad near Sa vannah, if tho respective coinnnnios shall agree upon u junction of roads, and Albany on the Flint River, by such routo as the said company shall select, with such branch ronds towards the north and toward* the south from said road to such point or points its they may doom requisite; and the said company may at any time extend the said road to any point or points on or across the Chattahoochee Rivor, provided they shall not obstruct the free navigation of that or any other rivor which they may cross; and provided further that they shall not by such extension violato tho chartered and vested rights of tho South- Western Railroad Com pany.” Bv an amondniont passod at the last sossion of tho Legislature, it is provided that—“ The Savan nah and Albany Railroad Company shall have au thority to construct macadamized, graded or plank roads in connection with their railroad and branches, or in lieu thereof, as the said company shall deem expedient. The provisions for the right of way, tho pro tection of the joad and property of tho company from injury, and tho amount of taxation to be paid, are taken from tbe law authorizing the con struction of McAdamized, Graded, or Flank Roads, passed in 1849, und which were made a part of tho Savannah and Albany Railroad ebartor, at tho last Hcssiou ol the Legislature. Thoy provide, in sub stance, that in assessing damages for tho right of way, the parties shall be sworn to tako into consid eration tho advantages us well us tho disadvantages of tho road to the property. Tho provision for tho protection of the proporty of the road is ample. “The said road, and the ap purtenances thereto, shall not be subject to be tax ed higher than one per cent on its nett annual in come.” It will bo seen by theso leading provisions, that the charter is a most liberal and valuable one. The following are the proceedings of the Board of Directors at their first meeting: Savannah, Tuesday, Aug. 10, 1852. Tho Board of Directors of tho Savannah ami Al banv Railroad Company, having been elected ac cording to the chat tor of incorpoation, met at the Pulaski House; Present —Nelson Tift, Abbot H.

The Board then adjourned, subject to the call of the President. John W. Anpeb&ox, Scc’ry. This important subject was yesterday brought before the City Council of Savannah by Dr. Screven who introduced the following preamble and resolu tion which were unanimously passed: Whereas, a connection, by railroad, of Savan nah with the southern and southwestern counties of the Slate of Georgia, and with Mobile Boy and tho Mississippi river, will greatly promoto tiie in terest of our State sud city : And whereas, a Com pany, with this object in view, to be aided by for eign capital, has been provisionally organized : Re it therefore Rewind, That the City Council of Savannah regards, with lively interest and most favorable consideration, tho projected connection, and will cheerfully co-operate iu accomplishing it, when it shall have been authorized by the citizens of Savannah.

As a work of beautv and magnitude, confidence is entertained that the new structure will present effects tar exceeding anything that was seen in the buildings as it originally stood.

Florida Indians. —We learn from the Jackson ville Republican that Gen. Blake had an interview at Fort Myers, the 22d ult. of two or three days with Billy Bowlegs, more elegantly rendered Wti liam B.

He was told distinctly that the Indians conld not remain in Florida. He was to have met Gen. B. a second tima about the 10th inst. A letter states that he and some of his delegates had gone out among the peo ple, and that they would visit the Chief Bam Jones before the next meeting. Gen. Blake thicks he will emigrate, but will not indulge him longer than the first of September. Tampa Bav, Ang. 4. —Gen. Hopkins arrived here by stage this evening and after an interview with Gon. Blake, he has agreed to accompany him to Carloosahatchic, leaving here at 12 o'clock to-mor row, sth, in a small vessel. The distance is one hundred and sixty miles, going out to sea some ten miles below the place. Bowlegs is desirous of seeing Gen. Hopkins, and will meet him at Fort Myers. The late interview with Bowlegs lias re sulted as usual with nothing definite. He wishes his sister (whe came with the Arkansas delegation) to remain here and his half sister, and how many cousins 1 cannot say. You shall hear more, on the return of Gen. Hopkins, if I can find out the result of his mission. Everything is kept so lock ed np by the parties that except by accident, wo can find but little out as to their proceedings. Gen. Blake, I learn, says he will give Billy only until September to agree to emigrate, after which, if they tarry, he will call upon the sharp shooters undcrGen. Hopkins to displace them. The Indi ans taken by Gen. Hopkins left yesterday for Ar kansas. Incident* of the Battle of the Thame*.—Who Killed Teeumseli t Gen. Cass, during a discussion in the Senate, on the sth instant, on the Indian appropriation bill, in advocating the payment of a certain amount of money due the Shawnees, a tribe with which lie had had much official intercourse, and of which the celebrated warrior, Teeumseli, was the chief, took occasion to “vindicate the truth of history,” as follows :— Savannah Republican. There are two historical points which have been much debated, about which I wish to say a few words ; both are connected with Col. Johnson and these Shawnees. The question has been often mooted us to w ho was the author of the movement by which the mounted regiment commenced the attack upon the British at the battle of the Thames. Probably I know as much upon that matter as any other man now living, and the facts are these: Gen. Harrison had prescribed the order of battle, and promulgated it in the usual manner; that order directed that ihe army should move, intan try in front, with a portion of the force placed at right angles to the main body, to prevent the enemy from turning the flank. The cavalry were to remain in the reur, to follow up all the move ments of the infantry. They were posted with the Thames on one flank and an almost impassable marsh on the other. J ust as the arrangement was completed, and the British forcos were almost in sight, I was sitting on my horse, when Gen. Harri son rode up, and said to me, “I hove a great mind to chango my order of battlo. I feel very strongly inclined to let Colonel Johnson’s regiment attack the British line first.” I replied—“ You have un doubtedly considered the difficulty attending the charge; the mounted men aro brave, but undis ciplined, and their horses unused to servioe. If defeated, they might be upon our line, and do us irreparable injury.” His answor was, “Col. John son says he can creak the British line, and I will let him try.” Well, the movement was made, and was successful, and never from that day to this have I had any doubt that Col. Johnson proposed the movement to Gon. Harrison. Mr. Butler.—Bid Col. Johnson’s regiment cliargo the eu*my witli swords or riflos ! Mr. Cass.—The men were all on horseback, armed with rifles; few of them had swords; they rode down the British forces ; broke their lines almost without impediment. I saw the whole operation myself, being there rather as a spectator, for I was not in command. I talked aboutit after wards with some of the British captured officers, and having expressed my surprise at the little op position the movement mot with, asked why they allowed their liruf to b* broken, and their men rode down ? They replied that “their men had become alarmed, for they had heard our bugles in the swamp on the left,” where they supposed that we had a heavy force of regular cavalry. The bugles, Mr. President, were somo old tin horns, and wo had no force there at all. I had come conversation on the subject, the other day, at Lexington, with a very intelligent gentleman—Capt. Johnson—a younger brother of Colonel Johnson, whe was there, and we compared notes, and agreed in our recollections. Now, as to the other historic but disputed point: Who killed Teeumseli ? [Laughter.] I will tell you what 1 know. Teeumseli fell in the battlo, as we aro all aware; but in the following year the Prophet, Tecumseh’s brother, and his son, young Teeumseh, a vory intelligent young man, often came to see me, and we had several conversations respecting the series of events in which his father was engaged. Tho young man was near his father’s side in tho battle, but his undo, tho Prophet, was in the Creek country. The young man described the battle very graphically—the persons, the par ties present, and tho inciaouts, without hesitation, from tho beginning to the end, and I have no more doubt from Ills narration, than I have that I am hero, that Colonel Johnson was tho man who killed his father. There were three of tho John sons in the battlo, and they were as brave men as ever followed tho standard of their country to war. Gen. Cass continued his remarks, and referred to many incidents to show the services rendered the Unitod States, daring tho war, by the Shaw noes. Gen. Harrison and himself, in" 1814, at the direction of the President, held an interview with u large number of them at Groenvillc, Ohio, iflicu thevagreed to join our standard, and subsequent ly aid render to us efficient service. A party of them accompanied Gen. Cass to tho northwest frontier, where ho had an engagement with hos tile Indians, who were urged on by tho British, within two miles of Detroit; and, in this connec tion, General Cass referred to the fact that a white man, named Parks, was then sitting in the gallery of the Senate, whom he had known since 1814, and who, when a bov, was taken prisoner and brought up among the \Vyaudots ana Shawnees. Parks, at the time of the engagement, although but a boy, and Bluckhoof, the principal chief of tho tribe, whose son was also in tho gallery, with a party of their people camo to the rescue,'and savod Gener al Casa nml his men perhaps from destruction.— There being another Shawnee in the gallery, Gen. Cuss added: “He is the son of a true and bravo chief called Captain Tommy, a son of the Indian aid-dc-eamp to General Harrison, who was with him daring bis operations in the northwest, and possessed, as well as merited, our confidence, and for many years, while thoy oeenpied that country, I had re lations political and personal, with the Shawnees, which left u deep impression upon my mind; and whenever they are in UDy difficulty, 1 will remem ber them and their bravery and fidelity, and en deavor to be useful to them.” Ws have accounts from St. John that the steam frigate Mississippi reached thcro last Saturday. The St. Johu’sCouricrhos the following remarks : “ Capt. Adams, who is attached to the Mississip pi, came up in the Bteamer Admiral on Thursday aftornoon, for the purpose of making arrange ments about a pilot and other business connected with the fishery question. Capt. Adams has had interviews with members of the Provincial Government, and in company with tho American Consul at this port visited several of our public offices yesterday, where ho received all the infor mation possible relative to the recent seizures of the fishing vessels. We have no doubt that, when tha Commodore learns' all the particulars of the cases in question, he will find that there is not the slightest reason whatever for complaint against the British Government, as it doos not appear to be their intention to adopt stringent measures unless the fishing vessels are actually found breaking the law within three miles of the shore. “We understand the Mississippi will proceed on a short cruise up the Bay of rundv, and then round to Halifax, where the Commodore will pro bably have an interview with the British Admiral, after which she will proceed to New York, so as to arrive there bv the first of next month. “We feci confident that all the protection the Commodore can atford American fishermen will be to advise them to keep withiu the strict letter of the Fishery Convention, otherwise thoy must stand the consequences themselvos.” The Mississippi had not left St. John on Mon day morning. Com. Perry would doubtless meet Vice Admiral Seymour at Halifax, where he had arrived in the ship of war Cumberland, bringing thither the new Governor of Nova Scotia, Sir Gaspard Le Merchant.—AW. Intel. Arrival or the Steamer El Dorado. —The U. S. Mail steamship El Dorado, William Mitchell, U. S, N,, commander, arrived at an early hour this morning, from Aapinwall, Navy Bay, direct, having left that port on the 6th inst. By the arri val of the El Dorado we have seventeen days later dates from California. The El Dorado left the U. S. Mail steam ship Illinois about sailing for New York with 400 passengers, and $1,800,000 in gold. The El Dorado brings out 100 passengers and the mails. The news from California is of miner importance little change having taken place since the reception of our last dates. The business at the mines is not as flourishing as could be desired, but hopes of large yields are expected in a few weeks, as soon as the rivers fall, which they are now doing rapidly. The" crop of oats and barley will exceed any crop ever raised in the country. Great excitement pre vailed in San Francisco among the passengers of the Independence, Vanderbilt’s line. They hung Mr. Vanderbilt in effigv, attaching to the breast of the image, “Vanderbilt’s death line.” The health of Aspinwall is rapidly improving, few cases of fever existing, except from imprudent exposure. The passengers of the El Dorado are loud in their praises of the Panama Kail Road aud the superior advantages of the Isthmus route.

Arrival or the Daniel W ebstkb. —The steam ship Daniel Webster, Capt. O. J.

Lewis, crossed from Virgin s Bay to San’Juan in thirty-six hours, and less than fortv-eight intervened from the time of their disembarkation on the Pacific until their arrival and embarkation at San Joan on beard the steamers for New York and this city. The steam ship Northern Light left San Juan in company with the Webster, with about 800 passen gers for New York. The country along the route was quite healthy, as was demonstrated by the fact that there was not a single case of sickness among the passsengers on their arrival at San Juan. A lump of gold weighing twenty-eight pounds, the largest apeciman of the precious metal ever brought to tha States from California, in the hands of one of the passengers by the Webster. It was dug out of a shaft sixtv feet deep, in the vicinity of Carson’s Creek.

I There have been no events of importance since the departure of the last packet; but the publication of an alleged treaty between Prussia, Austria and ’ Russia, with respect to any attempt that may be made by Louis Napoleon to found an hereditary dynasty, has supplied matter for political discos * si’ou, w’hile as regards affairs at home the chief topic ~ has been a trial arising out of the circumstances which attended the death of the so called Baroness Von Beck, in August, 1851, which, from her con nection with the Hungarian war, attracted at the time considerable attention. The allegation as to a secret treaty Rgainst Louis [ Napoleon having been entered into by the three ; Nortfiern Powers, was made two days since by the Morning Chronicle, and although it is doubted by ] the Times and other papers, it has created a good deal of speculation and remark. Tho Chronicle as !• Sorts that the docuraont in question was dated the [ 20th of May last, and that it has been signed, ra'i -1 fied and exchanged. A very formal anaJasis of its provisions is also given, their simple purport being as follows: —In case Louis Napoleon shaft get him ■ self elected Emperor for life, he is not to be recog nised until he has promised to respect existing treaties, to forbear from any attempt to extend the 1 territorial limits of France, and to renounce all pretension to found a dynasty. If he refuses ’ these conditions, the three powers will address a protest to all the Government* of Europe, and will afterward consult with regard to ulterior trea sures. Finally in case of Louis Nopoleon being overturned by any revolution, the three powers bind themselves to aid the Count de Chambord, pledging themselves, both now and hereafter, never to recognize any dynasty but thatof the Bourbons. It will be recollcted that in tho spring of the pre sent year, a correspondence between Austria and Kussia on the same points as those embraced in the present treaty, transpired through the London press, and that the conclnsioms embodied in it were analagons to those of the clauses now-asserted to have been definitely agreed noon and rati fied. It is argued, however} that although, while these views merely took the form of a tacit under standing, they could not be mad* a ground of of fence, either by Louis Napoleon ortho French peo ple, the act of signing a regular treaty for tiicir en forcement would be such a needless step of rash ness and provocation, and one so inconsistent with the cautious and reserved tone which the three powers have thus fur pursued toward France, that the faet of its having taken place must be regarded as altogether improbable. The intelligence from Paris to-day announces that M. Drouyn de Lhuys has resumed the office of Minister of foreign Affairs in the place of M. do Turgot. The change i> not of importance, bat as M. do Lhuys was popular in London when he act ed here as French Atnbassabor, it is regarded rath er with favor than otherwise. It is also acceptable from the fact that there was somo apprehension tho post might bo given to M. do l’ursigny, whose views of tho foreign relations of the country are too well known to inspire confidence. The money market continues without alteration. Consols at the last date were quoted 100%, and they have also closed this afternoon at that price. The grain market has been dull and sales conld not be made exoept at a decline. The weather is still exceedingly favorable for the approachiug har vest, hut it is conclusively ascertained that the po tato rot has again caused much mischief in Ire land. The report the Liverpool cotton market for tho week shows a large business to have been transact ed although there was rather less animation to wards the close.

Parties are, we suspect, very nearly balanced. The Morning Herald gives Ministers a majority of 43; the Globe, puts them in a minority of 8, even allowing them tho votes of neutrals. The other London daily journals differ as widely. The yacht America, when making Plymouth harbor, camo Into collision with a fishing smack and went aground. She would be got off at high water, with probably slight damage. Another race between her and tho Arrow and Alarm is spoken of, France. —There has been a change in the Minis try, an event for somo time expected. M. Dronyn de Lhuys resume the office of Minister of Foreign Affairs in place of M. de Turgot, whilo M. Magno is promoted to the Department of Public Works. M. Drouyn de Lhuys is already known, both as Foreign Minister and as French Ambassador to England. Ho is a man of respectable abilities, who has moro than once testified his fidelity to Louis Napoleon by taking office when no one else would accept it. It is probable that he is disposed to maintain tho pacific relations of the French Government with Europo. Tho rumor that tho real object of Louis Na pleon’s visit to Baden was matrimonial gains ground. Tho following account is given in the Times of the family and the lady with whom alli ance is sought:— Tho Dowager Grand Duchess Stephanie, of Baden, was the eldest daughter of the last Count de Beauharnais, member of the family of the Em press of Josephine’s first husband, and adopted as such by Napoleon. She was married in 1806 to the Grand Duke of Baden, who became in conse quence one of the German Princes most devoted to the influence of France in the Confederation of the Rhine. It is to a grand-daughter of the Grand Duchess Stephanie that tho matrimonial views ot Louis Na poleon have been turned; for the eldest daughter married Gnstavus, Prince ofWusa, son of Gus tavuslV., ex-King of Sweden, and tho issue of this marriage is now the Princess Caroline of Wasa, u young lady of whom roi>ort speaks most favorably, and who will complote her 19th year on tho sth August next. She is consequently'related to Louis Napoleon by the Beauharnais family, . and descended by her father’s side from tho legi timate, though now dethroned, Royal family of Sweden. Tho Prince of Wasa, her father, commands a re giment in tho Austrian sorvicc; but tho family is connected by its intermarriages, with several of the reigning houses of Europe. Such an alliance i would seem, therefore, to bo both politic and suita- i bio to the present position and tho future viows of the Princo President, and we understand that the interview which recently took place at Baden be- 1 tween tho high contracting parties was so on- : couragiug that the Princess immediately applied i herself to master the tcncsts of the Roman Cutho- i lie faith, having hitherto professed the Lutheran creed, in order that she may ho received into the i bosom of that church of wliich Louis Napoleon is < so exemplary a member. The Times further intimates that such an event i cannot be regarded with indifference, and adds : i The marriage of Louis Napoleon would obvious- 1 ly be the most important step to tho establishment 1 of an hereditary power in France, - and such a power would ere long, and perhaps immediately, i place itself on an Imperial throne. To recognise i such a power, with all its hereditary claims, is to i surrender tho principles of legitimate monarchy < still professed by tho Northern Courts of Europe ; i to refuse to recognise it is at once to afford to that i power a pretext for any undertaking it may modi- i ate against tho security of tho Continent. The death of another officer of tho Empire— i General Gourgaud—lius followed closely that of Marshal Excelmaus. Gaspard Gourgard was born i at Versailles, on September 14, 1788.

He will bo deprived of tho sacraments during life, and in tho hour of death, unless he has canon ically repeated his marriage, or dismissed the per son whom the Church can only regard as his con cubine. Should ho die without conforming to to those prescriptions, he shall be deprived of Christian burial, and his children, in a canonical point of view, shall be considered illegitimate. Greece. —Christohoros Papoulaki, the fanatical preacher, has at last been taken and brought to Athens. General Colocoroni, who was at the head of the expedition, had refused in spite of his in structions, to fire upon the infatuated population of Maine, in order not to give rise to a religious war ; but at last a Hainotc monk, accompanied by six gendarmes, disguised as peasants, succeeded in getting possession of Papoulaki, by persuading him that they were going to conduct him to a safe, place.

We have had several letters from Chinese corres pondents during the past week, from which we learn that Teen-teh has left the hill country, where he has been so long encamped, forced ont by want of fuel; that he recently gave battle to the Impe rial troops, who lost their positions, were routed, and fled in great disorder. Teen-teh has now formed bis camp in the open country—a line of sentinels extending for mare than ten le towards the south. It is added that there is now no obsta cle in his way to a descent on Fatshan; and some of the high mandarins in Canton believe that hi is actually en route; while others are in hope that he has taken a northerly course. The following very interesting account of an in terview between Teen-teh and some Imperial em bassadors will have reference, we imagine, to a pe riod antecedent to the grand movement A private messenger has arrived in Canton with a letter from Kwangse, stating that Tsow, the lieu tenant-governor, had sent Han-how, a man of tho first literary degree, and Chang-fang-yen, of the second literary rank, with others to the number of five, to ascend the Taz’-hing hill and there confer with King Teen-teh and endeavor to persuade him to surrender. Han-how and hi* companions were at first afraid to proceed directly to-tnw spot, and agreed that they should writes letter to Teeu-teh, appointing a day when they weald meet him and wait for his answer before ascending the hill. A reply hav ing been received, they immediately started for ward with their luggage; but before they reached the foot of the hill they were met by a number of persons who had come ont to salute them, and guide them up the hill. When they arrived about half way, they came to a pass, the’ gate of which was very hign and guarded by soldier* both with in and without, but they were allowed to pass after their guides had informed the soldiers of iheir er rand. Thev then passed three other similarly de fended until they came to the fourth gate where they were met by a party of more than ten officers, dressed after the style of the Ming dynasty, who after their names and several ranks had been duly proclaimed, advanced in a polite manner, and in vited the five men to the guest*’ bouse where thqy were entertained in the niost sumptuous manner. Their arrival was now reported to King Teen-teh, who gave orders that they should see tan os the following day, and according next morning they ■were conducted by a high officer within the fifth gate, whore thqy were met by a enmicli wit# an order from the conrt that they should dress in the fas’) ion of the Ming dynasty. Hau-howand his coinpanh.ns were afraid to dis obey the King’s order, so after haring properly ar rayed themselves in the dresses furnished them, they were brought by the eunuch to the steps of the eourt where they were met by King Tecn-teh who come down the steps, and then led them into court, and invited them to be seated after the man ner of guests when visiting a friend. Teen-teh now inquired upon what business they had come, audHan-how andliia companions told him that they had been sent by Tsow, the Lieut.-Governor, to endeavor, by fair words, to induce him to sur render, that peace might thereby bo again restored to the people. When they had finished speaking the King said “Teachers 1 yon are mistaken; how can the prince submit to his ministers ( lam the eleventh des cendant of the Emperor tsung ching, of tho great Ming dynasty, mid now I raise my rightful troops with the hope of recovering the old territory. For merly because of the rebellion, the Tsing raoc were invited by Woo-sau-kwci, the Minister of the Jling dynasty, to assist in cutting off the rebelious officers (.'hand and Le ; but notcontent, they took possession of the country ; and my ancestors of the Ming dynasty, seeing that the Tsing race had merit in cutting’off the rebels, dared not to drive them away instantly, bnt havo allowed them and their descendants to sit on the throne for two hun dred years as a reward for their trouble. Can yon say tliat such a reward is not very great. And now, in my own right, I raise troops to re cover the old property of my ancestors. The Tsing race ought to give np and feturn to its native place and thereby let oaoh mau hold his own ground—by such means would the soldiers and people have rest. Teachers’ you aro still men of tho middle kingdom, and thoroughly un derstand the doctrines of the Confucius and Men- cius. Can you, then, forget altogether the right ful princo of the empire, and remain tho subjects of foreigners!” After saving this he ordorod Ilun-how and his companions to be styled “minis ters,” and then invited them to a banquet and entertained them on the hill for five days. The entertainment over, tho clothes they had worn on their arrival were burned, and Tecn-teh accom panied them to the outskirts of the hill, where ho took leave of them, and they returned home. On their arrival at the provincial city Kwei-lin foo they related their story from beginning to oud to the" Lieutenant-Governor Tsow, who, upon hearing it, was so enraged that ho instantly fell sick, and conld neither oat nor sleep. Lute Pekin gazettes contain no allusion to tho rebels ; Yih-chu and his ministers, having discov ered apparently that the policy of referring to them was wrong. We have just heard that Lo-ping-cliang, the Lieutenant Governor of Iloonan, hoaded uu army of 5000 men. On thoir arrival the city was in great danger of being taken, but the rebels had to break up the arrangement of thoir foreo in order to defend themselves against tho troops which lmd come to save the city. The two armies aro still engaged, and the victory lias not yet been decided. Tlic Late Volcanic Krnptlon at the sandwich Islands. The auncxed interesting notice of a visit to tho scene of the late eruption is copied from the San Francisco “Pacific “You doubtless havo seen already in the Poly nesian an account of the recent eruption on Ma'u na Loa; but as it was my privilege to boa near eye-witness of it for twenty-four hours, when its action was the most magnificent, I will send vou a brief description of what 1 saw and heard. The first eruption on the summit of Manua Loa, about fourteen thousand five hundred feet above the level of tho sea, I only saw in tho far distance, it being on tile Hilo side, and opposite from us. That out break was very sudden, and, as seen at Hilo, was most magnificent; where, though some Bixty miles distant, the light was so great as to awaken the slumbering inhabitants. This was early on the morning of February 17th. It oontiuuod its aotion only about twenty-tour hours, then aft was quiet again, and it was supposed that the internal fires had sufficiently disgorged themselves; but oarlv ou the morning of the 20th it burst out again with great fury, half way down the mountainrin tho very direction of Hilo. It Bent forth a liquid stream of greut depth and width, which flowed at the rate of several miles an hour, threatening ruin to the vil lage and bay of IJilo, thirty-sin miles distant. This stream continued to flow, but with diminished ac tivity, for more than three weeks. It ceased to flow entirely before it reached Hilo, ending the painful suspense so long felt thero. The light ot the volcano at night was very great, illuminating the surrounding country for many miles distant, and giving to the overhangingclouds the appearance of an immense body of fire. After witnessing this for several nights, my desire to vis it it became so strong that 1 resolved to make the long and tedious journey, to tako a near view of this grand display of the Almighty’s power. Ac companied by Mr. Fuller, I Bet out on the Ist day of March, After travelling through woods and over wide districts of naked lava, we arrived at the vicinity of the eruption on the forenoon of the third day. Its deep, unearthly roar, which we began to hear early on tho day before* “waxed louder and louder” as we drew nearer and nearer the action, untjl it resembled the roar of tho ocean's billows when driven by tho foreo of a hurricane against a rook-bound coast or like tho deafening roar of Ni agara. We first reached tho deep channel, through which a wide stream of liquid lava had flowed down tho mountain, desolating an area of vast ex tent: it had ceased to flow in this direction, but was flowing still at a littlo distance, at which wo gazed with delight. Tho main streum was still be - yond at which wo could not approach ou ac count of tho great heat; hut at night we had a line view of tho fiery river, at no great distance from our encampment. Though tho luvagushed out in several places liko water springs, yet tho main fountain was one of indescribable grandeur. In the midst of a forming cone, with abase of two or three hundred feet there shot up a jot of clear liquid lava to tho height of from four to eight hun dred feet, combining in its asoent and descent ail the beauties ofthc finest water fountains—jet after jet ascended in constant and regular succession, day after day ; descending, it mostly fell back in the crater, lmt sometimes it fell sputtering ou its sides, and flowod down uniting with the main Btrearn. The outer portions cooled to a blackened mass while in tho air, tho upper and lighter por tions were carried by tho propelling force to tho re gions of the clouds, and [fell in showers over the surrounding country. Tho intense heat ofthc fountain and stream of lava caused an influx of cool air in overy quarter; this created terrific whirlwinds, which, constantly stalking about liko so many scutinols, bado deli ance to the daring visiter. These wero tho most dangerous of anything about the volcano. Some times we were compelled to prostrate ourselves for safety. Once wo ventured withiu about a quarter of a mile ofthc great jet; soon ono of the most ter rific whirlwinds formed at the crater and advanced straight toward ns, threatening us with instant ruin; but fortunately for us, it spent its force and turned to tho right, leaving us to make u rapid re treat. Wo saw a similar one whirling around tho jot ondconccaling it witli a dense cloud of aslics, ns if engaged in a furious combat. The two contend ing elements presented a most wonderful specta cle. When the strife ceased, the fountain appear ed in constant action, as though nothing had oc curred. Clouds approaching the volcano wero driven back, and Bet moving in wild confusion. The glare of tho liquid fountain was very great even when the sun was shining ; but at niglit it was vastly more so, casting the light of nearly a full moon in the shade, and turning night into day. Spending the night near tho eruption, during its greatest action, we folt ourselves highly privileged. Very few mortals liavo had the opportunity of hearing such a deep, unearthly rear, ana of witness ing such a molten river, such a lofty fiery moun tain, such terrific whirlwinds and agitated clouds all at the same time, and withiu a little space. Such a scene is calculated to fill one with feelings of awo and rcvcrcnco towards tho great Author of nature’s wondrous works. With great reluctanco we loft a spectacle so rare and retraced our steps. That day we reached the old volcano Kilauca, and spent tho night on the brink of the crater ; not much action there lit present. Time will not permit me to add more. Sincerely yours, 11. Kinnet. Waoobinu Kau, April 19, 1852. Bpilualists’ Convention at Boston. On the 6th inst., a convention of professed be lievers in “spiritual manifestations”—men and women—assembled in Boston. It was, it is said, a singular collection of dupes and fanatics, resem bling more a congregation of lunatics than a company of rational creatures. Rev. Mr. Ballou presided, and Andrew Jackson Davis, Ls Roy Sunderland, Eliza J. Kinney aud Kev. Charles Spear, were among the leading spirits. The Courier says: During the morning session, the male “ medi ums,” as they are called in the jargon of the craft, having been arranged on the right of the platform, and the “ medium” sisterhood on the left, the spirit suddenly took “ possession” of uu unwashed strapping fellow, whoso name is unknown. The action of this worthy resembled, for all the world, that of a fuddled somnambulist. Alter “ sawing the air” for some time, he approached Mr. Jolm M. Spear, and taking that gentleman by the hand, conducted him to Mr. A. J. Davis. After some more mummery, he placed Spear’s hand on the top of Davis’ head. Presently Spear became “ possessed,” and with his hand still upon Davis’ head proceeded to “consecrate” that individual “to the hanuonical work,” Ac. This ceremony over, Messrs. Spear and Davis took their seats ; but tho leading spirit flickered a little longer made a speech, announcing that the “spiritual and tho natural worlds were about to be brought to gether”—that everything was harmony in the first world, and concluded by prognosticating the end of bad times in this world. Tho next performer was a woman. She read from a large volume a serieß of letters, purporting to have been dictated by the inhabitants of the spiritual region. Her correspondents are quite numerous, and embraco persons of the “flirt re spectability” in the other world. The substance of the letters was, that a judgment had been re corded, by which the spirits who were in the lower spheres—for it will be remembered that spirits in the ether world, according to the mediums, are classified in seven spheres —had been raised, and that these lower, or, as they are termed, unde veloped spirits, will no more molest the believers. One letter went on to state that the elevation hail been accomplished through the direct intercession of the spirits of the third, fourth and fifth spheres. Another letter gave an account of a sinner that had been promoted through prayers of this woman, and another announced that the worid was coming to an end, and that “nothing shall be hurt or destroyed in all the Lord’s holy mountain.” At the close of this profane trumpery, the spiritualists adjourned to dinner. At the evening session, an association was form ed, to be called the Massachusetts Association of Spiritualists. Several persons stated that they had known instances where the sick had been restored to health through the agency of tho spirits; or, to use the language of one of the simpletons, “ cures had been done by the spiritual manifestations.” The names of the persons healed as well as the names of the mediums who healed them, were given; and all the circumstances necessary to es tablish fbith in the monstrous humbug, were re counted. An individual told of a min in Spring field, who had been admonished by the spirits to give up rnm-eelling, and send his children to Sun day school, and stated that tho man obeyed. Va rious other similar and ridculous statements were made, after which the convention adjourned. Railroad Accident. —The regular mail and pas senger train of cars on the Nashiillc and Chatta nooga railroad, due here Thursday evening, when about twelve miles from town ran suddenly upon a cow which was standing upon the track. The animal was knocked down, and tho locomotive and ears robbed over, dragging her some distance. The rear ear was thrown off the track and turned over. We understand that several persons were slightly hurt, and abrakeman, Huddleston Miller, bad his leg seriously mashed. We have been assured that the accident was unavoidable.—A osA ville HTtiy. Mr. Hawthorn, the editor of the Sea Shore (Bi loxii Sentinel, who addressed the late Railroad Convention and barbecue at Jackson, Miss., says the ladies present subscribed some ten or fifteen thousand dollars to the New Orleans, Jackson and Great Northern Railroad. —Sea Orleans Delia. The Sphere or Woman- —Woman was doubtless made to soothe the sorrows of man! For what sound so musjeal as her soft, kind voice, when the heart of man, sunk in deep despondence, or over whelmed with fife’s bitter fears, draws in upon it self, and feeds upon its griefs, and wraps about it that heavy drapery which shuts it from the outer world! The very toues in which her words of kindness clothe themselves have a power so near ly allied to celestial influence that she may well be called bis angel 1 A ministering spirit from a bet ter, purer world—pouring the cordial of beronsel flah love into bis bosom, snd leading him by her example ofhumility, forbearance, charity and hone, tothrowoffhisearthlydress, and anticipate the bliss of Heaven! * Id iHai)itrtic fflrppi).

Ou Thursday until 4 o’clock, P. M. our transactions were not more animated, although prices showed more regulari ty; but toward the close of the day a despatch from Liver pool gave 15,000 bales on Wednesday, and 12,000 ou I hurs daywith improving rates, which Immediately brought round a greater of confidence, and the Bales effected were 1600 bales at 4f. advance. Friday, the same activity continued with stiffer prices, our transactions until 5 o’clock, P. M. exceeding 1600 bales, after which a despatch from Liverpool came to hand, stat ing a continuation of activity in that market most particu larly on speculation, with Is. Bd. advance, and the same evening upwards of 1200 bales more found buyers.

John Mathers, is worthy of a perusal by every Dyspeptic: Jacksonville, August 4,1849.—Dr. Green—Dear Sir—l have had the Dyspepsia for about five years, and about two years ago 1 was attacked with the Bronchitis also. These tiro diseases combined perfectly prostrated me, and com pelled me to cease from the labors of my calling. I ain a member of the Illinois Conference of the Methodist Episco pal Church, and last spring, a year ago, my frien ds had no expectation of my recovery. The great difficulty, if not the only one, Is the acidity of my stomach—the purest water—every thing I eat or drink —instantly becomes acid, and in a few moments I throw it up. At times it seemed to me that a stream of acid from some part of my system was constantly pouring itself into my stomach, and this acid inflamed my throat and breast, or made my Bronchitis worse; my physicians say they never saw a person afflicted with such an acid stomach— they can do nothing for me, so far as effecting a cure. I have used the various alkalies, but I think they only ag gravate the disease, It is true they give me a little relief for a few moments. But I suppose you would like to know the effect produced on me, by the Oxygenated Bitters. Although I am not cured, the medicine has done more for me than all my phy sicians and heir medicines. I had not finished one bottle before it produced a great change In my strength, and in overcoming the acidity of my stomach; while using the third bottle, the acidity of my stomach seemed to be over come, and my food digested pretty well; I did not throw up much, and hence 1 felt #ry much encouraged. 1 be lieve if I could use it regularly, for six months or a year, according to directions, it would cure me. Dr. G. G. Shirley, one of my physicians, has recommend ed your medicine to several persons, in view of the good ef fect produced by it on ms. Respectfully, your friend, Ac.. JOHN MATHERS.
