An a part of the history of thu times, we pub
lish the following letter defining Gov. Coxa’* po
sition in the late Presidential Canvass, tbe inti
nute, personal and political relations between Mr.
Unix and the Governor, justify the impression that
his statements are entirely correct:
T" the Editor <f tit OorutituUonalut:
Your paper of the 16th contains an editorial on
“The next Governor," on which i desire to offer
some comments. To the general tone and spirit
of the article 1 can give my full approbation. So
far »s you nr go a nearly onion of ail who arc De
mocrat* in sentiment in support of tho truly De
nt oc a i, Nmi’iiel, end union-loving administra
tion, winch I c nfidently look forward to under
Pi.-r.t-. 1- rti ; .v.hito with you and cheer you on in
ttu j oI t id. Nor shall I slop to quarrel with
\«u 10- jour in.,died exclusion from your good
if.ii tin.-u xho last tali supported what yon
Ui.i, . . ;s*r to -ail the “Tugalo Ticket.”
A ms ot’ -te who advocated that ticket I
have f a|>o- f. .to make nor recantation to offer.
1 considered t»ie ticket called “Iksmoerutic” to
hs*e been |.u i- U.e rieid irregularly, and impro
p-riy. mi l imv« twin nominated at the time
sn l" under die circumstances that it was, for
tli -.pro » purpose of offmding the Union de
nt ami kept up »« s standing insult and dc
gra iati .ii t-. them S-ioh being my views, although
In. c. vm whatever in getting up the “Tu
x'. I T ■ k*-t,’ and if 1 had been consulted, would
had ,i lv *. ..gainst it, as exposing ns to certain
do it, ami as placing ns in a false position in the
eyos in Democrats in other States who did not
kiww the fact*, yet when it was brought out, and
the race hud to be run, I had no difficulty in
choosing my position. At the same time. I never
blamed those Onion Democrats, who taking a dif
ferent view of the question of feeling which was
involved, determined on a different course.
I should not have deemed the position of a sin
gle individual in private life, like myself, worthy
of so many words, wetcit not that I believe what
I have said expressea the feelings of many, it not
most of those Union Democrats whom you niek-
DamoTugalo’e. We acted then on onr feelings
perhaps more than on oar judgment, but we ask
for no sympathy or forgiveness. Wo now sup
port in good faith the administration of General
Pierce, and shall co-operate with all who do like
wise , nor shall we stop to enquire whether we are
regarded by other gentlemen of the party with
cordiality or otherwise.
lint my object in writing is not to diseußs these
mutters, but to disabuse your mind and those of
your readers, a* to the position of Gov. Cobh in
that, mutter. Your article gives me the opportu
nity of doing Gov. Gobb, what his magnanimity
has prevented his doing torhimself. I write with
out, Ida knowledge, and possible what he would net
permit if he knew it. But it is due to truth and
Jukiicc that his position should be known. Tiie
writer of this, professes to be as well informed as
any other man, as to the opinions, sentiments sod
viuws of Gov. Cobb, end I affirm that which I
know, when I suy, that the ticket which was put
tip after tho Atlanta meeting was brought ont
against hit within and adcice, and against hit ear
tu d cforts to priornt It.
1 knewthat.bo wrote urgent letters to Judge
James Jackson, at CarncsviFlu, where Uco. Wof
ford was during Court, pressing upon him to fee
Gen. Wofford, and ei devor by every argument to
induce him to dculine running on that tickot, and
to accept tho place on the regular ticket, which he
was then ad vised wouid 1.0 tendered to him. So
far from his “ sympathy and secret efforts,'’
being lor tho “Tugalo Ticket” bo disapproved of
the movement from first to last, snd his friends ,
know it,
it is true that Gov. Cobb was in favor at Atlanta
of a different course from tho one pursued. From tho
day when tho Union' rjectorul ticket was nominated
at Millodgevillo, he had labored to bring about a
compromise of the Ticket on terms which could
scciro cordiality, and harmony among all the
friends of Pierco and King.
The Atlanta mooting was called at his suggeetion
arid for the purpose of promoting that object. Be
fore it assembled it hud become obvious that our
proposals of compromise would not be responded
1 1. Gov. Cobb proposed in that case to nominate
a ticket coinpoed of those gentlemen ot tho other
ticket, who hud evinced a willingness to arrange
tho matter, and to fill up the other plocoswilh the
names of Union Democrats, and oall on the whole
Democracy of the .State to rebuke by their votes
the spirit of proscription and persecution, which
hu<l boen manifested by some of onr Southern
Rights brethren. This was his whole course in
the matter. '1 lie Atlanta meeting decided differ
ently, and In their decision Gov. Cobb acquicscod,
and gave, as 1 before said, no encouragement
whatever to those who did not.
It is a*ked why ho did not publicly announce
that disapprobation ? It would have been policy
in him to do so, hut the noble mid generous heart
of Howell Cobh shrunk from striking a blow tliut
would wound his friends, even though he thought
Ilium in tho wrong. The list of nemos advocating
tho rnovomout Included many who were his best
and nearest friends. They had stood by him
through storm and sunshine, ar.d though Ms sense
of duty prevented his aiding them, he was not the
mail to lift his hand against them. !Io has pa
tiently home all the vituperation and obloquy
which has been heaped upon him on tliut account',
and still bears it.
The time has come—now whon the cleotiou is
over—now when the new Administraton is fully
formed, and the auspiciou of seeking Cabinet offi
ces oun no longer be aroused in the minds of tho
most imoliaritablc, that hislrienda owe it to him
to make his trite position known. Gov. Cobb now
stands prepared to sustain the great Democratic
party to which ho has always belonged and fight as
a private in the ranks for the iraporishable princi
ple* of Jeffirson, Jackson and Polk, and which lie
hopes mid believes will derive additional strength
and lustre from the Administration of Frankiin
Pieroo. Rospecafully,
Wit. H. Hull.
Constitutionalist awl lltpuhlie.
That the position of tho Govornor, u defined by
Mr. Hull, is not satisfactory to some of his Union
Democratic brethren, is very apparent from the
tone and temper of the following article from tho
Marietta Union, tho Editor of which paper, is a
Conservative Democrat of tho original | annol:
Oov. coin's Position.— The Constitutionalist re
cently published an urtlole which proscribtd Gov.
Cobh’ from tho democratic party or Georgia upon ,
tho supposition that lio sustained what is called
the Tugalo Tickot, bnt which expressed a willing- I
ness to admit him intotho party, if he would de
clare that he did not countunanoe this movement i
of the Union Democrats. One would have sup
posed that Gov. Cobb, had enough “ self-respect”
loft, not to reply to an article whioh contained not
a particle of reepcol for him—or if ho did reply to .
it tliut ha should boro done so in the spirit of de
nunciation mid contempt, lnstoad of this, how
ever, his most intimnto poraonul friend replies for
him, and placing Gov. Cobb in a position of most
abject servility, assures tho Editor of the Constilu
tomdist that'the Indopendeyit Pierce Ticket was
run "againtt hit tamest efforts to prevent it," and
that ho did all that ho could to bavo it withdrawn
after it was nominated.
What lias Gov. Cobb dono (or himself I lie has
lost the confidence of friend after fHoud in his of
forls to regain a position in the democratic party,
and now that ho Luis gained that position amid the
sneers and contempt of the Southern Rights men,
tie must feel that lie deserves no reward beyond
thu eomtnisstration of tho fVluiids ho lias deserted.
Tim Union detwken Carolina and Georgia. —
Ttio Ch#rlo»lon Mercury ol yesterday rays : “We
have received from tho President of the South Ca
roline Bailrond Company, an invitation to join in
tlio Brat trip over tho Savannah River, tocelcbrato
tho junction of the Georgia Railroad with oura.—
What a noblo result of patient and patriotic con
sultation ! How many good citizona have longest
for tliis consummation, during tho last ton years,
end yet scarcely dared to hope for it. Now, wo
have it announced ea a simple faot. It cannot hut
ho looked upon o» a great event. Wo share tothe
ft,II in all tluArigbt hopes of fitturo progress that
it inspires. If the chains that hind us down to our
owu tittle domain, will not lengthen to allow us to
be present on this joyous and noblo occasion, we
can at least send along our good will,—our deep
gratifies!ion that all the old obstacles to the indus
trial union of Carolina and Georgia have vanished;
anchthat we can now meet with the cheerful con
vietlou that botli aides have united in breaking
down the barriers of separation, nud that both
sides, with equal heartiness and good-faith, strotoh
their hands norose the borders, and bid each other
welcome. Wolootnc, Georgia! the State which in
our own quarter of the Confederacy, ii to be the
great and govorniug Stale! We rejoioe in her
power, as in tko growth and honors of a friend.—
Wo know that wc are stronger because she is
strong, and wo feel the touoh of her broad and
sinewy shoulder*, as a new element of hopeful
oourage. . .
Many have supposed that in the earnestness
with which wo have pressed the object ot a direct
■communication to Tennessee, we were moved by
a hostile spirit towards the Georgia Railroad, and
seeking to raise a rival to that great en
terprise. Fur from it.' It is bocauso there is room
(nr belli to dovolope their utmost power, that we
have pressed the completion of the second con
nection. Nothing can deprive tho Goorgia Rail
road of licr own proper domain,—a region of vast
extent and rapid development, the* very firstlings
of whose growth have proved a bountiful harvest
to this pioneer enterprise, and whoso natural ad
vancement must continue to load it with an over
increasing prosperity.
The Georgia Railroad has nothing to fear from
the new enterprise, and what they have both to
fear, is that with their united power they will bo
a,tabic to givo freo passage to tho tide of wealth
ready to burst upon them.

The Japan aqnadron thus embraces thirteen
voMclfi, viz-—One whip of tho line* tour steam
frigates, cne razee frigate, three sloops of war,
one brig of war, and three store ships—carrying
286 guns, and a force (including those ol the store
ships) numbering about three thousand three
hundred men, in addition to seven hundred
marines, winch will bring the effective loroc of the
squadron up tofour thousand exclusive ofofficers.
The steamers are each provided with two Paixl.au
ahell guns of the largest calibre, fixed on revolv
ing carriages, so as to sweep the horizon, which
will discharge Bhells of 69 and 120 lbs. each.
They also mount long 42’s, and each wi; I carry
two brass field pieces, for shells or canister shot.
The brig of war Porpoise, and the sloops of war
Saratoga, St. Mary’s, and Vincennes, will mount
82 pounder*. Tne Vermont will carry long 42'S j
on her lower deck, long 32'* on the second, and |
short IS's on her upper.
Three vessels of the squadron have already I
sailed—the Mississippi, from New York, on the
24th November last: the Powhatan, from Norfolk,
on the 14th February, and the Vandalia, from
Philadelphia, on the 6th March—and others are in
coarse of preparation. It is rumored, however,
that the expedition is to be abandoned, and the
-reasons for this proceeding, says the Herald, are
said to be—
First, that the expedition is too weak to effect
the civilizing and charitable purpose of opening
the port* of Japan to the world’s commerce, und
the empire to the blessings of Christianity, to say
nothing of the great work ot a hydrographical
survey of those barbarous islands. Secondly, that
tbe portentous .spent of affaire all over the con
tinent of Europe admonishes us to husband the
disposable strength of our little navy for the pos
sible contingencies of war, and the consequent
neceasity of protecting our commerce.

“In tho year 1823, tho State of San Salvador

The Emperor Louis Napoleon has recently
nominated oightcon new Senators of Franco.
The Paris correspondent of the National Intolli
geneor Bays
Tho Pcorage of Louis Philippe furnishes two of
the new Senators, M. Lebrun and the Marquis of
Boissy. The latlor appointment took tho public
by surprise. M. do Boissy is only distinguished
by the ultra and eccentric liberalism of his politi
cal opinions under Louis Philippe, and by his
marriage with tho famous Countess Guicoioli, to
whom Byron, has givon immortal notoriety, and
who now figures iu tho most elegant saloon ot
Paris as Mudamo la Marquiso do Boissy. After
waiting almost forty years, Capt. Doore of tho
French Navy, (of whom you probably nevei hoard
before,) receives in tho Senatorial dignity ar.d
dotation, tlio reward of hiß fidelity to Napoleon 1,
after final defoat in ISIS. Finding it impossible
to’ escape in a French frigate through tho English
squadron that was blockading tho port of Roche
fort, Napoleon was about to trust himself to Capt.
Dorc, who undertook, in a small cutter, whioh
in tho disguise of a common sailor he was to navi
gate alone, to ruu tho fallen Emperor through the
British Hoot and conduot him to America. Fatali
ty, say tbo official Journals, prevented tho execu
tion of thiß project, and the Emperor was con
strained to give himself up to tho Commander of
the Bollorophon. For this proof of devotion to
tho causo of tho fallen monarch, Cant. Doro was
dismissed from the navy by Louis XVUI. lie
is rewarded now with interest by Napoleon 111.
It is good polioy on tho part of tho Emperor not
to forget sneh sorvico. It is by no means impos
sible that before the close of his career he may
havo need of similar devotion for himself.
From the Marietta Union.
We have done our Duty.
In pursuanee of the spirit of the Romo meeting,
wo have labored, frankly and honestly, in the hope
to organize a new party in Goorgia composed of all
of tho friend*of tho present administration. Wo
wore led to believe that a majority of the socesaion
iats had sincerely repented of their former errors,
as we kuew some of them have, and that they de
aired to have the scheme of disunion, forming so
late a portion of tho history of the State, buried
and forgotten. Wc wore mistaken. Thu disnnion
ists olaim that tho Southern Rights party is “ tho
only true democratic party of Georgia”—that “it
is already organized,” and from which all are ne
cessarily excluded who refused to support the late
Southern Rights eloctoriul Ticket.
Os course the Romo meeting, so far ns it con
templated a re-organization, embracing all of the
friends of Gen. Pierce is repudiated. The organi
zation in the State is claimed to bo already perfect
od, and we may add, is controlled by tho disunion
ists, who will of course preserve for its platform
tho construction which they place upon that adopt
ed at Baltimore.
In offering to meet all the friends of tho present
administration for the purpose of organising a new
party, wo have sufficiently shown ourself devoted
to Union principles aud that we aro very far troui
being governed by mere fooling in the discharge of
political duty. We have done all, to bring togeth
er the honest friends of Gen. Fierce in Georgia,
which duty required, and it now devolves upon
us to warn Union men that the Southorn Rights
patty of Georgia is still organized—that it lias re
fused to disband for tho purpose of organizing on
the principles proclaimed in President Pierce's In
augural. Wo warn them that tho men who two
years ago only lacked tho power to dissolve the
Union are isot the sincere mends of Gen. I iorce—
are not national nuion democrats ; but urc still tho
disciples of nullification and secession, ready
whenover power may nervo the effort to effect the
purpose iu which wc ao gloriously defeated them.
We despiso as much to-day as we ever did the
wretched organization which embraced such a pur
pose. We thought since the Inaugural of General
Pierce that it had become abkorsnt to a majority of
thos • who formerly sustained it. it seems that j
they are content that the monster should simply
change its namo aud that the word “ democrat’'
should be regarded as a sufficient covering for all
the purposes of disunion. We re; cat what wo
said in commenting upou tho Atlanta Convention
in September last—“if this is to be the only
Democratic party in Georgia, we are no Georgia
democrat.”
The Southern Rights men as wc have said—a
majority of them at least—refuse to re-organize
on tho Baltimore platform or any other which dis
countenances secession. They "insist upon the
“State Rights" organization. They denounce—
proscribe —those, who, last fall, refhscd to support
:heir organization—though they were the true and
sincere mends of the principles of Gen. Pierce.—
The Oonetidutionalut—n paper utterly devoid of
political consistency—wo might justly say of po
litical principle—whose efforts to briug about die
union wore uot more despicable, than its present
cant about the “glorious Union,” is contemptible,
undertakes to proscribe men, whoso purity is tar
boyoud its conception, from what it is now pleased
to designate 44 the democratic party.” In this, its
Editor, who is presumed to speak for tiie leading
secessionist®, may succeed. There were thousands
of Pierce men iu Georgia who <f**pwd the demo
cracy which the Southern Right cleetoml Ticket
represented. All such are now told by the Con
stltutionalist that they are not Georgia democrats
—that they are prescribed.
We arc glad that the disunionists have spoken
through their mouth-piece, as we aro now taught
the impossibilityof Union men , co-operating, con
sistently with their principles, with the leader/ of
the &>uthtrn Rights democracy of Georgia.

Mb. Editor:—l purpose giving, through your
paper, a concise statement of facte in regard to the
i beginning, prjgresa and present condition of the
‘■Botthhern tla- nic Female Ootfege,” located at
I Covington. Newton Couuty, Georgia. I would not
i deal m high compliment. Indeed the IncitatWo

I first lea*‘>n taoebt in Masonry.
• The citizens of Newton County are always res ly
to take their part in every good work. Tnere are
i among them many gentlemen of industry, econo
! my, wealth, intelligence and philanthropy. “ Po*-
s>-*»i:,gaii these uev***ary qualifications,” a large
i fond was raised in the year 1851, to establish a
Southern Female College, to bo located at Ooviug
ton. The needful preparations were made in the
erection of commodious and suitable buildings.
The procurement of a learned and competent Fa
culty, and the purchase ot the necessary Philo
sophies! and Chemical apparatus, &c. The Insti
tution took it* first step under very auspicious cir- ]
cuinstatices. Tbe Trustees, however, to the end, :
that it might tie made “ The ftr-t institution of the |
South,” generously tend-red it, through Goideu I
Fleece Lodge N0."6, to the Grand Lodge ot the !
State of Georgia.
At tbe last Annual Communication of the Grand !
Lodge, held in the city of 51 aeon on the 26: h Oct.. \
58521 The Kcprcsentativeof Golden Fleece Lodge i
submitted their proposition, viz: "To turn over j
to tho Grand Lodge of Georgia, an institution of j
learning in Covington, called * The Southern Fe- ]
male College.’ ” This question was, upon the mo- 1
' tion of Rev. Alex. Means, of Oxford, (he being a j
! member of the Grand Lodge,; referred to the Select :
Committee upon Education. The Grand Lodge, j
j had previously appointed a select Committee U[>oi! 1
I Education. Tha committee consisted ot five pru
-1 dent, practical and intellectual Master 51a.-oris, to -
wit: Col. D. E. Butler, of iladisou ; Dr. 1. I*. Gar- 1
vln, of tbe citvof Augusta; Hon. L. J. Glenn, of ]
Henry; S. U. Penick, Esq., of tbe County of Hons- j
ton; and D. J. Johnson, Esq., of the County of '
Murry. The Committee, in duo time, mado an
able and interesting report. From that report wc
learn that other educational propositions had been j
submitted and considered, but that it was deemed
Unnecessary to entertain them, further than to
mention them. The Committee mention the fur
ther fact that the proposition of Hie Southern Fe- ]
male College, through Golden Fleece, had previ- |
ousiy been submitted to, and acted upon by forty
'four of the subordinate Lodges, under the jurisdic
tion of the Grond Lodge. “Os these, lorty-cne
recommend the Grand Lodge to accept, and three
against.” The Committee, at tho conclusion of
their report, submitted tho following resolution ;
“ Resolved, That the Institution, known as the
Southern Female College, in Covington, Newton
County, is received as tendered by the present
Board of Trustees, *ud that u committee of three,
one ol' whom shall bo learned in tbe Law and skill
ed in the depanment of conveyances, be appointed
to prepare and cause to be executed, the deeds nc
cossury to this consummation.”
The Resolution was adopted with great unanim
ity, indeed, 1 utri not sore, but there would be no
violation ol truth to say it was unanimous.
Thus, by the action of the Grand Communica
tion, the Southern Masonic Female College, is made
a part and parcel of the Grand Lodge of Georgia.
It is now her own bantling. It bears upon its front
the eoguomiuation of “The Southern Masonic F
emale College.”
The Committee of the Grand Lodgo did not act
in “ hot haste.” On the contrary, tho Committee
»»ys “this proposition has received, lb it well de
served, our serious and deliberate consideration.”
Nor did the Committee suspend iuquiry, after re

it is due to the Institution, that I should make
the following extract from tbe report of the com
mittee : “ As appcarsjf'rom all tho evidence,written
and oralj before your Committee, this institution
is in its infancy, though now in full tide of suc
cessful operation. It has about seventy pupils—
at its head, as Rector, is a gentleman of high repu
tation, much learning nud experience, with efficient
Assistants—a first rati Philosophical and Chemi
cal apparatus, jnst obtained at a cost of one thou
sand dollars. Two college buildings, with their
requisite furniture, one of wood the other of brick,
the latter, just completed, is one hundred and ten
feet by forty, two stories high, and finished in the
handsomest style of architecture, end all located iu
a retired part of Covingtou, on a beautiful and
well shaded lot of land, containing some four or
five acres This, and more, has been accomplish
ed at a oostvariously estimated from fifteen to
twenty thousand dollars, and the Institution does
not owe one dollar.”

Ratification Meeting iu Burke.
A large and respectable portion of the citizens
of Burke county, mot in assembly at Bottsford’s
Church on tbo 26th instant, for the purpose of
ratifying tho pi ocecdings ot the Atlanta Conven
tion on tho Liquor Traffic. After an able address
on tho subject of Temperance by S. M. Hewlett,
of Savannah, the meeting wits organized by calling
Mr. S.J. Cox to the Chair, and appointing J. F.
Navet Secretary. The objeot of the meeting be
ing stated by Mr. R. S. ScrlOos, tho following
Preamble and Resolutions were then offered by
Dr. G. B. Powell, which were unanimously adopt
ed.
Whereas, a large and highly respectable por
tion of our fellow-citizens representing the dif
ferent sections of the State, recently assembled in
Convention at Atlanta, have taken tiie necessary
initiatory steps to have tho present system of traf
fic in spiritous liquors so modified as to give the
control of the Traffic to those whose interests are
most effected thereby, the only course perfectly
consistent with the principles of popular Govern
ment.
Re it therefore Resolved, That we the citizens
and legal voters ot the county of Burke here as
sembled, most cordially approve of nud fully en
dorse the action of the’Convcution for the restric
tion of tiie Liquor Traffic.
Resolved , That we arc prepured to go before the
people of the comity with this issue—that no
License to Traffic in Spiritous Liquors shall be is
sued whenever a majority of tho legal voters in
any Militia District where tbs Traffic is sought to
be allowed, alp opposed to such Traffic; ar.d we
further pledge ourselves to press this issue by onr
votes at tho ballot box until succoss crowns onr ef
forts.
Resolved, That tiie Secretary be requested to
forward a copy of these proceedings to the Chron
icle & Sentinel for publication.
Tho meeting then adjourned sine die.

Homicide.— About 4 o’clock on Sunday morning
lar-t, a difficulty took place, at tiie corner of Ogie
thoi pc and Franklin streets, between Charnot
Newberry and Lewis Jcrnigan, which led to the
uso of pistols, and resulted in the death of New
berry. Wo have made no particular inquiries as
to tho circumstances oonneeted with this fatal af
frav. Jeruigan has surrendered himself to the
laws of his country, and on his trial tho whole will
be developed. One thing, however, we may say
the hour ut which this difficulty took place, the
deadly weapons used, and the fatal result, are all
proofs suffieiemt to convince any civilized and sen
sible man that it should never have happened.
We might remark here, also, that tbc almost uni
versal practice of carrying fire arms, bowic knives,
<fcc., is the cause of half "the rencontres that take
place. A fellow, about half-corned, feels his cour
age wonderfully increased by grasping the butt of
a six shooter, or the handle of "a fancy knife, and
thus braced up, he seeks, instead of shunning, the
mortal combat. This is a general remark, and has
no special allusion to the unfortunate individuals,
one ot whom now sleeps in his grave, and the other
In the common dungeon.— C lumbus Enq.
The manufacture of Umbrellas, Parasols, <fcc.,
is carried on extensively in New York, according
to a statement in tho Journal of C mmerec. It is
chiefly confined to seven different firms, who by
the aid of machinery manufacture annually about
81,500,000 worth. One of the largest firms em
ploys 825 persons, including 250 girls. During a
considerable part of tbe year, from 1,200 to 1,500
umbrellas ana parasols are turned out daily, and
875,000 worth of silks aud ginghams aresome
times consumed iu the course of three months.—
There are iu an umbrella 112 different parts, and
before being perfected tbe umbrella passes through
nearly as many different hands. The average wa
ges received by sewers of umbrellas is $4 50 per
week. _
Rbode Island. —Cyrus Harris has declined the
Whig nomination for Congress in the Western
district of Rhode Island, and the Whig commit
tee lisve determined not to make another nomina
tion, tiie district being hopelessly Democratic.
Tiie election takes place on the 6th April. State
officers aud members ot Congress are to be ehosen
aDd the LegHatnrc then eheted will have to make
choice of a United States Senator, to supply the
vacancy caused by the expiration ot Mr. Clarke’s
term of service." The fast Legislature should
have chosen his successor, but the Democrats in
the Senate refused to go into Convention for that
purpose, thus setting at defiance the plain require
ments of the law.
A Whiklwind.—As the blow came up on Tues
day morning last, about noon, a whirlwind came
from the West and passed just above the Fort,
continuing its course toward the East. It prostra
ted some fenoes, and essentially used up several
boats, the pilot boat among tbe number. Some of
the boats were carried in the air more than a hun
dred vards, and dashed on the ground. It was
fortunate that ita course was cot through the city,
as loss of life and most serious damage might have
ensued. — St. Augustine (Fla.) Ancient City, 26th.

The Baltimore Coffee Trade.-Tlt; usual month
!y circular of Messrs. White & Elder, brokers in
the Coffee trade, dated the 31st March, states that
during the early pan of tho past month, the Balti
more coffee market was quite dull, with a tenden
cy to decline. Tho late arrivals from Rio gave us
a stock, at one pciiod, of 37,000 b igs, and in the
absence of any important local demand, holders,
though firm in their views, found it difficult to ef
fect sales until more favorable advices abroad in
duced an active speculative movement, which has
since absorbed tho entire receipts of the month.
The following data exhibits the nature of the spec
ulative operations, and, say Messrs. W. & E., will
enable parties to judge tairly as to the future course
of prices:
According to Baring & Bro’s. circular es Janua
ry Slat, 1853, “the imports of coffee into all Eu
ropean ports for 1852, amounted to 17,100,C00 lbs.
against 38,200,000 lbs. in 1851; stock on hand 132,-
400,000 lbs. against 147,700,000 lbs. the previous
year, showing a deficiency of 21,100,000 lbs, in tho
receipts and 15,800,000 in the stocks. Tiic whole
amount advertised for the Dutch Company’s sales
in March, was only 340,501 bags; being considera
bly less than the averago quantity of former sea
sons.”
The Brazil crop now in process of shipment, it
is alleged, will not excei d 1,800,000 bags, of which
up to Jau. 15th last, had been shipped at 1,124,281
hags, leaving, witli the stock on hand in ltio, (a
bout 70,000 bags,) to go forward 745,709 bogs.
This quantity, if equally divided between Europe
and North America, would give each a short
monthly supply ot 62,148 bags for the next half
year.
In all the English and Continental markets pri
ces are now about 15 per cent above last year’s.—
The stocks in the United States are materially less
than at the same period last year, and prices about
5 per cent higher.
We quoto prime Rio 10 cents, good 9% cents,
fair 9% oents. Markot firm.

American Bible Society.— The New York Tri
bune says:
One of the largest, if not the largest, building in
New York is the now'Biblc i.onae, occupying the
square bounded by Third and Fourth avenues and
Eighth and Ninth streets, which is now being com
pleted for tho use of the American Bible Society.
Its ct ustrnction has been rendered necessary be
cause of the rapid extension of tho field of this So
ciety’s operations. For some years past much in
convenience has been experienced from the want
of greater accommodations for furnishing the in
creasing demand ior its publications—notwith
standing the magnitude of the establishment in
Nassau-st., which has, up to this time, been oeeu
fiiod. Iu January, 1852, the Society secured the
ot on which the'uew buklitig has been erected.
Its area is about three-fourths ot an acre, compris
ing between eleven and twelve city lots. The
shape of the bniding is nearly a triangle, with un
equal sides. It hes a front of 198 tect 8 inches on
Fourth avenue, 292 feet on Eighth street, 95 feet
11 inches on Third avenue, and 232 feet 6 iuches
on Ninth street—making a total front of over 700
feet. The depth of the building is 50 feet. There
is a largo area in the centre.
The height of tho building from the sidewalk is
over seventv feet, and it is divided iuto six stories.
It is substantially built of brick, witli brown stone
trimmings, and when ready for occupation will
have cost between $250,000 and $300,000. The
building is commanding in appearance. Occu
pying a block by itself, it is safe trom exposure to
fires, and from damage to books in tho process of
manufacture by dust, smoke, or vapor, from other
buildings, as none are adjoining. It also has every
facility of light and air; and from it is had a most
commanding view of the surrounding city and
country, laud and water. Proper attention lias
been paid to the ventillation of the building.

New Route to ban Franrlteo.
The Fort Smith (Ark.) Herald publishes a letter
from Col. Miles. U. S A , now stationed at Fort
Fillmore, in New Mexico, to Capt. Roger*, post
master at Fort Smith,which states shat o new pass
has been discovered through the mountain* near
Albuquerque, about acventy-five mile* from Santa
Fo, in New Mexico, by which the journey from
that place to San Francisco can be made with
loaded wagon* ,11 twenty-five days.
This new pat-.-, i* u<> doubt the one known as
j Walker’s Pass, which Senator Gwin so stronglv
advocated a* tie best and most practicable route
for the Pacific Railroad. The Fort Smith Herald,
in its ecstacy at this discovery, says:
The route by El Passo, through the Mexican
provinces, is now out of the question. The road
can now be built all the way within the limits of
the United States. The question is certainly set
tled.
t,ol. Miles, in his letter, advocates the opening
of a road along this new route as follows:
From Fort Smith to Albuquerque, which are on
the same parallel of latitude, about 35 dog. noith
the distance being 850 miles. For 100 miles east
of Albuquerque a road can be made without trou
ble. u* good os could be found in any country.
This is as far as has been explored. No doubt
the balance of the way is as good as that known.
For Major Steen, of the Ist Dragoon*, sav* he has
ext>lored west of Fort Smith, and north of tile
Canadian to the Salt Plains, upwards of SSO miles,
about half wav, and at all times he found good wa
ter, plenty of wood and flee grazing. I propose
that the troops should open this road, and locate
tour posts on it. One on the Pecos, crossing of
parallel 36 deg. north lat.: the other on the waters
of the Canadian, near parallel of long. 10;; deg.
west; the next also on tlio branches of the Cana
dian. in the neighborhood of parullol 101 deg.
west long.; and the other ou the same parallel of
the first Fort Arbuekle, or further cast; the two
latter by troops from the Seventh Military Depart
ment, the two former by troops from New Mexico.
Ihe poston the Pecos tube the main depot tor
New Mexico, instead of Fort Uuiou.and all sup
plies to .be drawn over the shorter route from
f ort Smith. That treaties be made with tile Jick
arie and Muscalc-rie Apaches, residing east of Al
buquerque, on the line of this road, and they re
moved west of the Rio Grande onto the Gila.
That the mail route monthly or semi monthly he
made between Fort Smith and Albuquerque, in
mail stages, instead of to Doua Anna, which is
near 200 miles too far south.
Fort Smith is, in my opinion, the nearest point
to New Mexico of any other town where steam
boats can reach, hdd must certainly, in time, ab
sorb till trade to that Territory. The opening of
the road and removal of the Apaches will develop
the resources of New Mexico, which is rich in
mineral, and is a fine grazing country.
I atn told the land on the Pecos is good for agri
cultural purposes of any kind, as well as that on
the streams flowing from tho White Mountain, east
of Albuquerque.
In regard to the cost of tho Pacific Railroad,
Surveyor General Eddy, of California, in an inter
esting report to tho Governor o; that State, places
the matter in a new light. He gives estimates for
both the northern and southern routes, each of
which ho divides into three sections: First, from
the waters of the Sacramento to a point on Hum
boldt, 250 miles, from thenee to Fort Laramie, 925
miles, and from Fort Laramie to Independence,
630 miles, making a distance of 1,845 miles. The
entire coet of this road, including stations, ears
and fixtures, ho estimates at a little over *51,000.-
000.
The southern route he divides as follows:
Bay of San Francisco to Mohave, in miles 470
Mohave to San Diego, on tho Rio Grande 675
San Diego to Natchitoches 790
Total 1,939
On this division, first route would cost $3 ',OOO
per mile, second *35,000, and third *22,938, mak
ing the entire cost from San Francis >0 to Natchi
toches, on Red River, *55,902,170. — Picayune.

tary ot'tlie Navy, in connection with tho Pennsyl
vania Colonization Society, to examine tho West
Coast of Africa, and decide upon a location suita
ble, in reg rd to bealthlulness, fertility, Ac., for
the colonization of our free colored population. He
had orders lor any United States vessel ho might
fall in with to transport him to whatever point he
might wish to proceed.
Congress declined making any appropriation for
this exploration ; and In-uce, we suppose, it must
drop, so far as an exploration of the interior of
Africa was desired.
Storm at Grand Gulf.— The officers of the
steumer French Lyon, which arrived this morn
ing reports that on Monday evening last they

Advices from Franco state that M. Bclloville, a
civil engineer of Nancy, has invented a new steam
generator. It consists in a simple worm, which
does not occupy a tenth part of the room of other
apparatus; it is incxplosible, although steam is
generated instantaneously. This new iuvontion is
now at work at a manufactory of M. Gaudellot, at
Labricho, near St. Dennis. It also has the advan
tage of saving fuel.
Manufacture of Jewelry. —The Manufacture of
Jewelry is carried on in this city to a large extent,
though it is difficult 10-obtain accurate statistics
respecting it, as the interests of the manufacturers
would not be promoted thereby. It is estimated,
however, by one of those most largely engaged in
th business, that the annual manufacture in this
city amounts to $3,000,000. There arc seventeen
houses engaged iu it on a largo scale, and twice as
many small manufacturers. Ono of the former is
understood to do a business amounting to $500,-
000 per annum; and the averuge number of men
employed in each is 60 to 70. Two, at least, em
ploy about 150 men each. These men aro mostly
Germans, though there are many French and
Americans. The latter, with suitable advantages,
aro considered quite as skil ful as any. The wages
given raoge from $lO toslß per week. Some earn
from S2O to $25; und a tew have been known to
get S3O per week. Gold sovereigns aro chiefly
used, though refined gold from the bullion offices
is worked up to aconsidcrable extent. Some man
ufacturers consume $2,500 worth every week. Tiio
business is a lucrative one and was never better
than now.
Some discussion has taken place recently among
the newspapers, as to the relative value of Ameri
can und foreign jewelry. e are informed that in
plain work American is generally stronger, and
that part of the gold that shows is purer. In
French jewelry every article is of equal fineness
throughout; but the gold is beaten so thin as to
b 3 almost like paper, and the interior is filled with
wax, paper, &c. in American jewelry, the faco of
the stride is from 16 to IS carats flue—the back, 12
carats. French is 14 carats, in this city, proba
bly much more American jewelry is worn than
foreign. The manufacture of jewelry is carried on
in Newark, N. J., to a large extent.

Mr. Rives and M. Sartiges. —Two documents—
a letter from Mr. Webster to Mr. Rives, and the
reply of the latter—were sent in to the Senate last
week. It appears thut the French Minister took
exception to certain expressions in the letters writ
ten by Mr. Rives to the United States Government
concerning the Napoleonic Revolution: and Mr.
Webster wrote to Mr. Rives to explain the matter,
authorizing him to make an apology. Mr. Rives
denies that there is anything in his despatch which
the French nation could ccustrue into disrespect.
The communication was to his own government,
and he quotes from Mr. Webster’s letter to Cheva
lier Ilulscinann, to show that M. Sartiges had med
dled with a matter which in nowise, directly or in
! directly, concerned him. An apology for anything
I he said would bo an unnecessary abandonment of
I an honorable position, and, therefore, in plain
terms, he should not make one.— Carolinian.
Huzzah ron Knoxville.— The proposition sub
mitted by the Major and Aldermen to the proper
ty holders of Knoxville, to subscribe fifty thousand
dollars in the stock of the Knoxville aud Danville
railroad, was carried on Satnrdav last bv an almost
unanimous vote, there being but one vote cast
against it. All honor to the citizens of Knoxville
for this evidence of the interest they feel in the
success of that great enterprise. The annals of
subscriptions to railroads by corporations affords
no parallel to the unanimity with which that was
carried on Saturday. This shows what Knoxville
is ready to do to promote the interest of the eitv

A Paris correspondent of the Boston Jouma
gives this sketch of Louis Napoleon:—
11 As for the Emperor, he does not improve on
near acquaintance. Contrary to what I had sup
posed, and to what is the general opinion, de
rived from bis portraits, he is a short nian, shorter
than the average of his guests. He looks best on
horseback, and ought to contrive some way of
parading through bis apartments on his horse.
This arises from his nnusnally short legs, which
give him a very awkward appearance. As a friend
lias it, his legs are failures, consequent]! he cannot
dance well. Moreover, his long moustache grad
ually tapering off to one stiffly waxed hair, is not
ornamental, whatever he may think to tho con
trary.
The plate in the Queen Victoria’s cabin has been

he had entered a waxwork exhibition, the corpes
never havingmoved from their positions since the
vessel went down. There were some eighteen or
twenty persons in the cabin, one and ail of whom
seemed to be holding conversation with each other;
and the general appearance of the whole scene
was so life-like that he was almost Inclined to be

perior Court of his county—after a member of the State
Legislature, and the first Senator from the district, com
posed oft ( e counties of Ogleth rpe and Madison. Asa
citizen, and a public man, few have, probably, passe ?
through along life more universally iesp«cted and esteem
ed by all who knew him. He, early in life, made a p blic
profession of religion by uniting with the Presbyterian
Church, in which he was for many years a ruling Elder.
His life was that of the upright and useful man—the hum
ble and unostentatious Christian, and “his end was peace.

COTTON.—Our tut weekly report left the market with
out animation and prices very much depressed. Later ac
> counts from Europe, however, Imparted a new feeling, and
prices promptly recovered the # cent previously lost, and
for several days there has been an active business going
forward at full rates. To-day the demand Is less active,
and the operations are consequently limited. The market

TRADE AND BUSINEB3.—The operations during the
week, in heavy goods, hive been only moderate, yet fair for
tha advanced stage of the season. The stocks of goods
continue ample, and purchasers find no difficulty in sup*
plying themselves on very satisfactory terms.
GROCERIES.—The transactions in Groceries have been
very fa ! r for the season, and the stocks are very complete-
Molasses has slightly advanced, as will be seen by our quo
tations. Si:gar, Coffee, Bait and Iron have undergone no
change, and we would refer to our quotations fsr a lair in*
dex of prices.
PROVISIONS.—Tbo Bacon market continues without
animation, except in the retail trade, in which there is but
little doing. The very large stock has depressed prices,
and it is very difficult to effect operations. We hear of
none. The Flour market continues well supplied and pri
ces have undergone no change.
GRAIN.—The increased supply of Corn, with only a de
mand for immediate consumption, has made the market
heavy at our quotations. In Wheat wo note ro change.
EXCHANGE.—Checks on the North are abundant at
percent, premium.
FREIGHTS.—The river continues in fine navigable con
dition, and Freights are the same.

DR. W. H. MOTT’S COMPOUND SYRUP OF
RHUBARB, i.VJJ
FOR the cure of Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera,Chol
era Morbus, and all discuses of the Dow< Is. «
The high reputation which the Compound Pyrup of .0
Rhubarb has attained since its first introduction Is almost
unprecedented, in no case in which it hits been used is
there an instance of its having failed to effect a cure; in
all diseases of the bowels, it will bj found the Le*t prepa
ration that has everbten offered to the public. Nume
rous ctriitlcates from physicians and pertons ot high stand
ing in the community, nave been leccived recommending
the Compound Syrup of Rhubarb in the highest terms,
with the strong conviction that it is the beet remedy of
the age, for all diseases for which it is recommended— v
The Proprietor oilers this medicine to the public, not
doubting that it will susta n the high reputath n it b. s al
ready acquired. In Chronic Diarrhoea, and the Bowel
Complaints, so frequently attendant upon ihlidien while
teething, no remedy will be found uj universally effectual.

A POSITIVE cure for Consumption, Decline, Antluna,
and all Diseases of the Che it and Lungs. A single
bottle will prove its efficacy, lieretof >re all regular prac

ever, a discovery has ecu made whit h disarms Consump

For the truth of all we say, we refer to any of the mo. t emi

now, through the aid of Dr. Hustings’ Naptha Syrup, re- ■
cognize Consumption as cuAble, and daily rejoke in the
rerurnlng health and strength of those for whom o* fore its
discovery, they could have expected or even hoped for ue 1
