Gentlemen—Will you be so good as to publish
in soar widely cirealstcd journ 1, a comparative
view of the condition of the Georgia and South
Carolina Banks? The notes of these Bankscircu
late extensively in North Alabama, and we wish to
look into tbeir condition a little.
Yours, truly, Specie Basis.
W* are unable to comply with the request of our

Alabama friends, that all the Georgia Banks loca

Knoxville, Tennessee.
The following items, which we clip from the
ILgisttr of the Bth inst., indicate not less the
spirit and enterprise of the people, than the pro
gress of the place—all, all the effect of Railroads:
A Victory to Boast ok. —Tho vote in Knoxville
on yesterday, on the proposition submitted by tho
County Court, to subscribe one hundred thousand
dollars in the stock of the Knoxville and Danville
railroad, and a like sum in the Rabun Gap road in
behalf of Knox county, resulted Jilt hurulrsl and
tiinfl.tm.for, to hetnti/ two against the subscription.
It wa< but tins other day that wo announced tho
adoption of the subscription ol fifty thousand dol
lar,' to the former, on the pait of the oity of Knox
viilo, by an aim >.t unanimous vote; and now wo
have live plca-uro of adding another evidence of
the unparalleled unanimity with which the citizens
of Knoxville regard tho railroad enterprises which
are calculated to develop the great resources of East
Tennessee.
Wc may with pride ask: where is there a city
in the Union that can produce a parallel to tho
unanimity with which our citizens voto for railroad
subscriptions ? This is, indeed, a victory to boast
of. Eternal honor to those noble-hearted men
who achieved it.
The opposition to tho subscription in the county
was much larger than we anticipated; returns
from all the precincts hut two show that the pro
position has boon carried by a small majority.
Tho influx of strangers into Knoxville within
tho asl five or six months has been so great that
to an “old resident,’’ they seem almost to have
“ taken the place.” Generally they appear to be
long to intelligent olassos of inou, and so far at
their actions havo devolopod their purposes in
coming among us, wc may well congratulate our
selves upon the valuuhlo accessions whioh arc be
ing made to our population.
Lots in Knoxville. —Lot no ono who contem
plate- a removal to this place be dotorred from do
ing so by the apprehension that hcoau not procure
a lot upon which to build except at an exhorbitant
price. Town lots in Knoxville will unquestiona
bly continue to advance in value; but at this time
they may bo purchased at priaes ranging from S2OO
per half aoro, up to SIOO per foot front. So that
every class of purchasers can bo accommodated.
The lino of tho East Tennessee and Virginia
railroad is by this time, wo presume, finally loca
ted between this point and Strawberry Plums,and
wo understand that in a week or two the contrac
tors will “break dirt” at this place.
Brick.—Wo arc glad to loam that preparations
nre on foot by several porsous to entor largely into
tho making of briok. Several millions of brick
will find ready and remunerating salo during tho
approaching summer and fall.
A Thrilling Koine not in tmk Bill*.—At the
Bowery Tlioatro, ono Runnol* balances Aymsr,
who weighs 155 pounds, on tho top of a pole 35
feet, in height, and, whilst thus balanced in the air,
Aytnar goes through a anccession of posturings,
contortions, Aa. On Thursday ovoning, while
performing this font, Runnels, in walking about
tho stage to maintain tho porpond'.oularof the pole,
approached closo to tho foot-lights, and for a mo
ment took his oyo from tho top of the polo to ascer
tain his whereabouts. In doing this ho lost tho
balance. Aymur was dashed with terrible force
directly upon tho foot lights/ crashing tho glass
globes with which they were covered, and outting ,
himself in a dreadful manner.
Tho Now York papors are oxposing the frauds
which havo been perpetrated in getting signatures
to tho petition to the Broadway Rail Road. Tho
friends of tho projoct protended that they had got
27,958 signatures, and that they wore moatly logal
voters. Cnrofnl investigations of the signatures
show that ol tho whole number, 4,857 aro pcrfootly
illegible, consisting chiefly of combinations of let
ters that spell no intolllgiblo name, aud that
this class of signatures appear moro or less on
each petition, and in somo instances oocupy pago
after page. Os tho remainder, 17,868 names aro
not to ho found upon the City Dirootory, and it is
very doubtful whothor tho dosoribod persona really
exist anywhere. Only 5,785 of tho whole number
could bo found, leaving 22,228, as fictitious signa
tures. Tills statement shows ono of tho means re

Baltimore and Ohio Railroad. —The bnsinos
done on this road during the month of March has
been unproecdontedly largo. The official state
ment will bo submitted to tho Board on Wodnea
day next, and we learn that it has already boen
shown to some of the Directors. It ia as follows,
iu round numbers:
Receipts on Main Stem for Maroh, $216,000
“ on tho Wnshington Branoh, 54,000
Total receipts of March, $270,000
This Is an inoroase on the Main Stem, over tho
month of March 1852 of $97,000
And on thu Washington Branch of 28,000
• Total increase, $120,000
The largo rooeipts on the Washington Branch
arose mainly from the travol growing out of tho
recent iimugaration of President Pierce, and are
larger than the receipts from tho iuangaration of
President Taylor by SII,OOO. The total receipts
for the month are larger by SBO,OOO than in any
previous monti aiuce tho road was constructed.—
Wo loam that the receipt* for the present month
ot April, according to existing indications, will
not fall much short of $850,000.
Tho Now York Evening Post is about to take

It is said that tho State Department have re
ceived an intimation from our Charge in Central
America, Mr. Kerr, that Nicaragua designs send
ing Mr. Costellon, her late Minister of Foreign
Affairs to Washington, in place of Mr. Marcoleta.
The Memphis Eagle and Enquirer reports real
estate operations quite brisk in that city. Every
thing, it says, indicates that more buildings will be
erected there this summer than have ever been in
- one aeason heretofore.
The-Richmond Enquirer states that the profits
of tho teichmond gas works for the last year, were
eight percent, on cost: besideslighting the streets
for nothing.
Imports and Emtorts—Tho N. Y. Evening
Post speaking of the relative imports and exports,
says:
That the value aud quantity of our imports
have increased in a greater ratio than our exports,
is seen in the faot that wo havo exported no large
amount of gold this year, while last year, up to
this period, wo had shipped over $7,000,000 from
tho port ot New Y’ork alone. .
Our increased ability this year, as compared with
the last, to pav for our increased imports, consists
iu part’ iu the increased value of cotton, and in
part in a large crop raised.
The amount of bales of cotton exported last
vear was. iu round numbers, 2,400,000. This sea
son the price of cotton has thus far ruled about
2c. per lh. over the average price of last season,
but taking 1 Wc. per pound on the above quantity
at 400 nounds per Dale, the excess of value
$14,400,000; to which we have to add 260,000
haiss increase of quantity exportod, at S4O per bale,
equal to $10,000,000, making together $24,400,000
—whieii at the lowest estimate, is the increased
value of that portion of this year's crop exported.
We have to add to this also, not only an in
creased quantity of breadstuffs and other produce
exported, but at greatly advanced prices over those
of last year. Our increased imports, therefore,
form but a small fraction of our increased export
values.
The profits oftbe past year have boen preat, but
they have been mainly invested, not in foreign
products or objects, but iu our home and internal
enterprises, which have so greatly increased, and
with a constantly augmenting ratio.

We cull from the Courier the following items:
A Cadiz correspondent of the Dario de !a Mari

800 to 850 horse power. The Hernau Cortez ijate
I’izamy ia at Caracca. Some say she is going to

ing to Cuba. The steamer Neptune ia going to tho
Canaries. The frigate Isabel 11. is repairing. In
the port of Santander ia the steamer Francitco de

The Marina tells us also, that a very distinguiah

Cadiz in the last steamer, viz: Don Edward A

We find but little of interest in the papers, we
subjoin, however, the favors of our attentive cor

Havana, April 7.
Messrs. Editors: The all-absorbing topic of the
last few days has been the commutation of the sen
tence of death on the political prisoners. On the
night previous to the day appointed lor their exe
cution no hopes were entertained of any clemency
being extended, although a strong memorial sign
ed b> many of our first men bad been presented to
the Captain General.
Gonzales Alvarez aud Mr. Cristo .were both ta
ken to the garrute, and at the foot of it they heard,
for the first time, theannounoeinentthat their lives
would be spared. I subjoin a translation of the
proclamation.
Ilabaneros—Your common vote has a right to
my consideration. The noble and generous sen
timents of the Spaniards of both worlds, natives or
residenta in Havana, identified by a uniform and
humane desire, cannot be unheard by the aut nri
ty that governs this island, in the name and by
the will of the best and most pious of Queens
■kTbese unfortunate beings that you see atthe foot
™ the scaffold; the-e misled fanatics, whose crim
inal dreams brought upon their heads the rigor of
justice, of the laws, live still. Yes, they shall live
to bless repentingly the generous hand of Isabella
the Seooud, in whose august name 1 order and
command the suspension of the terrible and mer
ited sentence that an able and justified tribunal
condemned them to.
I shall also be before the Queen the interpreter ,
of painful accents drawn by grief from the discon
solate families of the delinquents, and it is rot
doubtful, the echo they will meet in the Royal
Clemency, always roused, always propitious in fa
vor of Cuba.
Habeneros—The strong impression that this
spectacle engraves on your strong and ardent ima
ginations, is no unknown to me; the joy that you
experience at this instant, tag heart also feels.—
But, know that your good sense and prudence, and
more still your tried loyally, exercise on this sol
emn occasion a powerful influence. Without it—
without the certainty that I possess of the tran
quility and security of this important island—with
out the force, in fine, physical and moral, that I
dispose of, to await the future, my gonorous feel
ings would be silenced, and the law, only the law
would rule, because to its counsels listens your Go
vernor and Captain General.
(Signed.) Valentin Cankdo.
Havana, April 6, 1853.
Many persons, of course, were overjoyed at the
event, hut others seemed disappointed at the loss
of a spectacle.
With the exception of the above there is quite
a dearth of news, and therefore you must excuse
the brovity of my epistle.
Havana, April 7.—My last report in relation to
Sugar, gave advices of much activity; since then,
the holidays have intervened, causing the suspen
sion of business for a few days; business has been
resumed with more activity than previously, and
enquiry is made for all descriptions, particularly
for whites, which are in request for tho Baltic mar
kets. The crop, as I informed you in my last, is
likoly to be under that of last yoar, which was a
small one; and with" the favorable news from Eu
rope, the adverse advices from the United States
havo had no effect upon prices. The amouutship
ped up to the 31st ult., was 180,888 boxes, from
this and Matanzas, whilst last year to a correspond
ing period, 222,720 had been exportod. To tho
United States last year to the same dutc, 80,900
had boon sent, and this year but 58,227 ; but the
principal deficiency in exports thiH season lias
taken place in tho shipments to Spain, to which
country only 24,875 boxes havogouo,aguinst 66,115
last yoar. The stock at this place and Matanzas is
about 200,000 boxes.
The prices current to day are as follows, viz:
Assorted 6aß}£ to rials per arrobe ; W hite
8al0; Yellow 6a7%; Brown 5%a6)£, and Musco
vado 4%a6.
Molasses is scarce, botli at Havana and tho other
ports of the Island, and readily fetches 2J£ rials
per keg of gallons.
Freights are not very steady, but there is a want
of small eratl. To Cowes, a largo vossol is load

£3 10 as tho current rate. To the U. 8., New

Matanzas, April 6.— Sugar*— Nothing was done

Distressing Affair.— lt is our unpleasant duty
to record an event which has cast gloom and sor
row over our whole population. On Monday af
ternoon, in the progress of a game of marbles, a
dispute arose between Masters Benjamin F. Wil
let and Felix W. Janes ; rough words passed, and
Willet presented a pistol, which was discharged,
the ball taking effect in the abdomen of Janes, who
languished till the evening of Tuesday, when he
expired. These youths, a moment betore this sad
event, were upon the most friendly terms—they
were members of the Freshman Class in Mercer
University, and probably neither over seventeen
vears of age. The affair is in the hands of the
civil authority, and we shall leave it there without
further comment .—Temperance Banner.

Dear Sir The proper couree of political ac
tion to be pursued by that port ion of the Democra
cy with whom you and I are identified, is the
subject of some discussion in this part ot the
State, borne are in favor of adhering 10, or re
vivingthc Uniou organization of 185“ and leal.-
Other- believe that the issues on which th" party
was organized have passed away, and that the ex
istence of such a party is no longer practicable or
desirable, and that the National Democrats party
is our true place.
The confidence which our people liave for many
years reposed in you, and which gives to your
opinions great weig it on all such questions, in
duces me to believe that a letter from you giving
vour views on tne matters alluded to, would he ac
ceptable and useful. I shall be glad if you would
favor me with such au expression of your opin
ions, to be published. Yours, «kc.,
Taoa. Morris.
Hon. Howell Cobb, MilledgeviUe.
Milledgeville, March 21st, 1853.
Dear Bir: —A* Union Democrats, we are called
upon to choose between the re-union of the demo
cratic party, and the re-organization of the Union
party. Having fully expressed myself favorable
to the first proposition, I will give the reasons
which have influenced my own decision, and
which I think should control the coarse of every
Union man who intends to identify himself with
the National Democratic party.
The democratic party of Georgia was disorgan
ized by the divisions in its ranks on the Compro
mise measnrcsof 1850. That portion ol the party
with which we acted regarded those measures as
conformable to the principles of the National De
mocracy—violative of no Con: titutional right of
the South, and an infliction of no grievous wrong.
The other wing of the party holding a different
opinion, the party was dissolved, and new organi
zations sprang up in the place of the democratic
and whig parties oftbe State. The issue was made
and submitted to the people of Georgia, and by
them decided ; and that decision solemnly re al
flrmed. The same issue was presented to the de
mocracy of tho Union, and, when assembled at
Baltimore to nominate their candidates for Presi
dent at Vice President, the position of the Na
tional democracy upon the Compromise was clear
ly,distinctly, arid unequivocally announced. With
that declaration all Union men were perfectly sat
isfied—in truth it was all that they could desire.
The Presidential canvass was conducted upon it,
General Pierce did not hesitate to respond in the
most cordial terms of approval to this patriotic de
claration of the National democracy. He was
elected by an overwhelming majority of electoral
votes and upon entering upon his responsible du
ties, has paid another tribute to the “wisdom and
patriotism,” which carried the country safely
through that “perilous erisis”which gave birth to
the Compromise measures. He has called around
him a Cabinet of able and patriotic men, who
stand as a unit in his counsels, and to whom, as I
am infoimed, his inaugural address was submit
ted for approval prior to their acceptance of seats
in his Cabinet.
Under these circumstances, ought any Union
Democrat—indeed any Union man, whether whig J
or democrat—to hesitate in giving to the present £
administration his confidence and support? To
proceed one step further; ought any such man 1
to hesitate in cordially affiliating with the National j
democratic party ? I think not. Both the Prosi- 1
dent and the party who elected him, have com- f
mended themselves to our confidence and regard, ‘
by the courso of policy which they have adopted 4
u[ OK this important question, and 1 hold that it is 1
not only our privilege but our duty to give to both f
our cordial and unconditional support. Should 1
either prove unworthy of it, of which I have no 1
fears. It will bo time enough then to considor I
“of the mode aud measured’ redress.” Thoquas- 1
tion then presents itself—how is this support to be J
given most efficiently to the administration aud 1
the democratic party ? It seems to me that there '
can be but one answer to the inquiry. It is by a 1
cordial co-operation, in the democratic party, of
all who are prepared to stand upon the platform of I
principles announced by the Baltimore Conven- 1
tion, endorsed by the people in the recent elec- *
tion, and re-affirmed bv General Pierce with the ■
concurrence of his Cabinet, in his inaugural ad- *
dress. Upon this basis it is propssed to re-unite 11
the Democratic party. As a Union democrat it v
meets my cordial approval, and shall receive my
warm support. I have uot reviowed the position J
of the other wing of the party. On the contrary j
I shall avoid it. having no disposition to rc-opcn 1
tho points of division whicli led to our separation. I-
Mv object is simply to state our own present and *-
past course, to show that in the policy now pro
posed. wo are acting in conformity to tho require- v
mentsof duty and of principle. It is sufficient “
for me to know that the democratic party of tho 1
State can now be re-united upon the terms which g
1 have suggested ; aud I shall not stop to inquire 11
by what route others have traveled to arrive at
the same point with myself. However, much wc
have differed in the past, we aro now agreed upon “
tho essential points of our political faith, and be- J
ing so agreed we should strive to effect a tho
rough and cordial co-operation in tho support and y
maintainanoe of our common principles. To this J
line of policy I have heard hut two objections
which havo hero been urged with any earnestness, <?
and 1 avail myself of the opportunity to offer a .
brief reply to ouch of them. The first is that there J
exists a radical difference of opinion between the
two wings of the party, on the doctrine of “seces
sion,” I admit that such is tho fact, in referencoto $
individual members, but I doubt much us to tho V
extent of this difference with tho great body of the
party ; but let the faot stand admitted in its broad- J
est sense, for the sake of argument. I would in- B
quire of thoso wtio muko this objection, if tho
same thing has not beon true of tho party for tho
lost twenty years, at least? Is it not a familiar fact
that whilst the Jackson democrats held tho doc
trine as laid down by that venerated patriot in his *'
messago to Congress, and his proclamation to e
South Carolina; the Culhoun democrats at the
same time contended for the right of secession as .
advocated by their distinguished leaders—the fol- *
lowers of each have maintained the faith of their
respective leaders, and will in nil probability con •
tinue to do so. This difference of opinion, how
ever upon au abstract question, did not prevent
the union and co-operation of both sections, in all
the essential doctrines of the democratic party, e
upon which thoro existed no diversity of opinion. t ,
With a full knowledge of these differences, they
continued to act together in the same party leav- t j
ing the abstract question of “secession” to tho j,
judgment of the individual members of tho party, p
neither making the affirmauco or denial of that £
doctrine a tost of party faith. I see no reason for a
departing Irom tho rule there acted upon. It will t
bo time enough to make “secession,” a cause for t
division, when it is sought to make tho rccogni- a
tion, of it a test of party loyalty, orwhen there shall v
arise a party who may threaten its practical enforce- p
ment. The first of there contingencos is not at B
prosont proposed from any quarter, and whenever c
a crisis shall demand tho latter, in tho judgment j
of the pooplo. Ido not apprehend that we shall ,
stop to discuss the abstract question, if wo are r
agreed upon tho moro important point of tho no- ,
cesaity and propriety of its enforcement. If, how- j
over, wc should not be thus agreed, as wus tho >j
case in our recent contest, there will be no more .
difficulty in the future than there has oeen in tho *
past, in meeting and successfully resisting its re- ,
cognition and enforcement. This objection, there- ,
fore presonts to my mind no serious impediment j
in tho way of the re-union of the democratic party t
of our State.
The only remaining objection which seems to j
demand attention, is founded upon the idea that [
there exists among southern rights men such doep i
personal hostility to Union democrats, as to pro- .
elude the probability of our receiving justice at j
their hunds. It is urgod that their opposition he- j
ing of a personal and malignant character will not j
cease witn the re-union, but will be continued and
felt in the future operations of the party. It is a j
sufficient reply to their objection to say, that it is ,
an argumout addressed to our Joan, and not to i
ourjndgmont—as such it shall be discarded with- ,
out further thought; but it is also founded in er ]
ror to our supposed weakness in the party. If no
other consideration should causo our rights to be ■
respectod, wo may safely calculate upon th» hom- -
age always paid to power, carrying as wo do into ,
tho re-united party all the elements of strength ,
whioh make up the aggregate, the power and influ- ,
enoo of a party. In looking, however, to the re- i
union of tho party, I do not apprehend such a
state of tilings as this objection foreshadows, and i
perhaps I shall havo os much personal oause of ap- i
Srohension upon this point as any other Union ,
emocrat. It is true that the angry and violent |
contests of the last two years have embittered the
feelings, and aroused the passions of many towards
each other, who will now be thrown again into the i
same party association; but time aud reflection will
prove successful rcstorativos of good feeling where
interest and policy full to accomplish it. With
weak minds and had hearts, the process will be
less rapid, but in the end, not loss certain. It will
be found that those who indulge in this spirit of
hostility are few iu numbers, aud powerless in in
fluence. Tho good Hense and good feeling of the
great body of the party will invoke a better spirit,
and lead to wiser and purer counsels. The danger
to the future union and harmony of tho party from
that quarter, I feol assured, is over-estimated by
thoso who regard it as au insuperable obstacle in
tho way of a oordial re-union of the democratic
party.
I am opposed to the re-organization of tho
Union party, becauso it is unnecessary. An im
portant crisis in our natioi al affairs oalled that
party into existence. I participated in Its organi
zation, aud during its existence took au aetive in
terest in all its operations, and oan now look back
with pleasure and satisfaction to its suocessful
career. It was, immy judgment, a patriotic or
ganization, demanded by a peculiar state of our
political affairs, and having faithfully discharged
its office, has passed away with the causes which
led to its formation. It lived to see the triumph
of its principles, and ceased to exist when its lon
ger continuance was equally impracticable and un
necessary.
To revive and maintain the Union party as asco
tional organization, would be violative of the great
principle of nationality upon which it was found
ed. Uu the other hand, to attempt its continuance
ns a national organization, is delusive, as it would
stand isolated from ail national party association.
In the history of the dissolution oftbe Union par
ty, we find conclusive evidence that it cannot main
tain a uational organization. It wid be remember
ed, that the Democratic Convention at Baltimore
nominated candidates and adopted a platform en
tirely acceptable to the Union party; our own State
Convention assembled aud determined to support
the democratic nominees, and put forward an elec
toral ticket for that purpose. A large and respec
table portion of the whig wing of the party, who
admitted that the democratic nominees and plat
form were satisfactory, and at the same time re
pudiated tho whig nominee as unsound and un
worthy of their support, withdrew from the party
preferring to throw away their votes on a nominal
candidate, of affiliating with the National Demo
cratic party, notwithstanding that party had pre
sented them with a platform of principles, and
nominees, pledged to the maintenance of their
Union doctrines. I allude to this action in no
spirit of complaint, recognizing as I do, the per
fect right of those gentlemen to pursue the line of
policy which they adopted; my object is simply to
show that the elements eomposingthe Union, or
ganization ofGeorgia, are incapable of being mould
ed into one and the same National organization.
The democratic portion of the party is not onlv
prepared for, but determined upon affiliation with
the National Democracy, whilst a large portion of
the whig wing is equally determined against such
affiliation, as is clearly exhibited by the course pur
sued by their respective portions in the late Presi
dential election. President Pierce and the demo
eratic party, have no stronger claims upon whig
support now, than during the canvass; for all that
has been done Bince the cleotion, has only been in
confirmation of their previous declarations. In
i thisvicwofthecase.it is a manifest proposition
to my mind, that the Union party of Georgia, it
re-organized, could only maintain a fitful existence
' as a State or sectional party, and would be dissolv
: ed at the first approach of a national election,
i Apart from these considerations, I regard the re
organization of the Union party as unnecessary,
for the purpose indicated; of giving its support to
the present administration. If the whole people
; ofGeorgia, are prepared to sustain Gen. Pierce’s
I administration, 1 can see no good reason why it
[cannot be done as efficiently under Democratic as
a Union organization. Why can we not all unite
in the democratic party ? If we are all agreed up
on the principles to which Gen. Pierce and the
Democratic party stand pledged, there can be no
sound objection to our union and co-operation in
the name of the Democratic party. I should be
, happy, indeed, to believe that such was the con
dition of the public mind of our State—as it would
1 give our people a respite from the angry contests
I of political parties, and enable them to appropriate
1 more of their time and enerey to the development
of our State’s almost endless resources—hut I
’ must he pardoned the expression ot a serious doubt
5 upon this point, and shall be agreeably disappoint
! ed if the future should convict me of incredulity,
f I entertain no doubt that a large number of our
1 citizens, who have heretofore acted with this party,
will be prepared to unite with the democratic party,
aa the most efficient mode of sustaining an ad
■ ministration which they have aided in bnngmg
. int» power, and which possesses their confidence
and regard. . ...
' AU who feel willing and ready to affiliate with
t the national democracy, can have do controlling
objection to this course J and thoee who we sot pre-
i pared to go to this ex’ctit, thereby exhibit a dis
trust of the democratic party and it* chosen ad -
ministration, which reudcr their and our future
co-operation in the eame organization, imprnciic
’ able.
' I have now (riven .on, with perfect candor, my
reason* for advocating the re nmon of the detno
: cratie party of oorCtatc. I believe that it wtii be
; ctlecved upon terms “ fair, just mid honorable ”
and tliat it will eventuate in the success and per
; raanent triumph of the national democratic prin
j eiple.-. If this important result is accomplished, it
; will be a matter of small moment what may be the
effect upon mere persoual aspirations whether ot
the one or the other wing of the party.

Metairie Jockey Club Races.
Peril hay.— It is not within our memory that a
raoe meeting ever commenced under equally bril
liant auspices as the opening day over ttie favorite
Metairie Course. The sun shone in all its glory,
and there was just enough uorthem wind to make
the ground or the stands equally agreeable so far
as heat and cold were concerned.’ The course was
in the most perfect order we ever beheld it. It
wa» not at all a matter of wonder that there should
have been aii unusual excitement at the course, in
relation to the races of yesterday, and that a deal
of money should have been laid upon the result.—
The city itself had been humming for two days
previously in regard to the contests, and conse
quently every body was on hand to witness them
This, however, was but a repetition of times gone
by. One of the stakes had been made when the
contending liagsjwere of tender age.and the subseri
bers were induced from the kind feelings they en
tertained for the sires and dams of the present
generation, an from the fame and vast renown
the former had acquired in many a well fought
battle, to name their progeny to enter the lists to
fight the battle o’er, and we may add, well did
they do the deed worthy of their allocators.
Os the betting, we can only remark that it shift
ed and turned like a vane moved by the wind, and
it was with difficulty we ccuidcoinetoa conclusion
as to “ the statu of the odds.”
We may safety say that in the fiist race Zero was
firsthand Cant. Minor's Voucher colt second favo
rite in the betting circle: the others taking place
as the feelings or whims of parties dictated. More
money changed hands upon the result than on
any similar occasion in a very long time.
The presence of the fair sex added an addition
al charm to eliven thesceue: and we hope they
will confer this highly prized favor upon u» during
the entire meeting.
The first race was a sweepstake for two year
olds, mile heats, live started, each booked to will.
In the first heat, Mr. Well’s colt bounced off with
the lead, closely followed by the Boston, out of
Minerva Anderson, (which the judges declared,
previous to starting, carried nine pounds more
than her proper weight,) the others beh nd in a
ruck. The heat was ended as it began, it being
evident that none but tho Boston filly had made
an effort.
No material change took place in the betting af
ter the heat; they all looked well and were eager
and prepared for the
Second Heat.— Alter one or two ineffectual at
tempts by the judge to get them properly placed,
and an evident disposition on the part of at least
three of the starters to get an advantage at tho
nsot, the drum was tapped at an unfortunate
time, and a very bad start was the consequence.
Zero, upon who the hopes of many a throbb ug
heart wore looking as the winner, ran into the
spa e in front of the judges’ stand and threw his
rider, hurting him, luckily but' slightly. Another
rider however, was instantly substituted, but to no
purpose ; the other nags were pursuing the ev n
tenor of t eir way, and when we looked up and
recovered from the shot k of the disaster, we lound
the Keel colt in the lead, and tho Voucher colt,
which afterwards proved the contending nag in
the heat, not less than thirty yards behind him,
and all running up the i ack stretch at a fearful
’pace. The Keel colt maintained his position
throughout, the Voucher colt closed the gap con
siderably upon his flying adversary, after passing
tho other nogs, and although he could not reach
him, ho caused him to run the quickest heat ever
made by a two year old, aud as quick a heat as ever
was made in the United States.
At the termination of the race, the colt was
named Lebomtt, in honor of one of our substan
tial Louisiana planters—a worthy and elegant gen
tleman and an ardent turfman. The ladies were
present at the naming, and vied with each other in
the brilliant sayings uud doings of the occasion.
The second race proved disastrous. The favorite
was beaten the first heat—won tho second heat,
aud was again boaten the third heat in less time
than ho lmd won the previous heat to the great
gratification of the fielders. We must apologize
for the bare summary of so interesting a race.

THE FASTEST RACE EVER RCN IN AMERICA.
Third Day.—Be faithful chroniclers of passing
events, wo must record yesterday’s race, the fir-t
two heats particularly, as tße Ihstest ever made;
but we do uot intond to bo undet stood to accord to
the raeo, or the contending nags, tno position of
being by this exploit the beet in tho country. And
this, to’ our mind, affords additional proof es the
fallacious test of time, placing a horse in so high
a niche in the temple of fame, when every adven
titious aid is brought to bear in his behalf. On
the othor hand, none but a very good horse, under
any circumstances, could run two heats in tho time
which our summary will show; nor will it detract
from their present position, to support, our propo
sition in relation to quick time uot being a test of
capability, by citing tho proof's to maintain it.
Everv one familiar with Dmisd'Or's performances
will at once agree that ho could have run another
mile yesterday in 1.65. in either or both heats,
which would have made the race, supposing at
four mile heats, 7.81% 1—7.80! rather lively!
This would have out-Heroded Herod. Brel, in her
palmy days, and they were all palmy but the last
one, never won a heat under 7.40. George Martin,
who beat Keel in tho only race she ever met a foe
worthy of her steel, did so, it was generally be
lieved, by the accident of her leg giving way, over
a track uot as quick as yesterday’s, in 7.83—7.43.
Miss Foote, “ the little steel trap,” ran in 7.85 her
best heat. All these named lived and shone to
gether. Subsequently Ffri/ffrappeared. He won
at ail distances, and but onco ran uuder 7.40.
Peytona, who beat the world-renowned Fashion,
never ran but one heat in the same time that Veri
fier made, 7.89%, and that race the New York
Spirit of the Times pronouuced tho best ever run.
We might cite numerous other instances in sup
port of our opinion, but have perhaps given
enough. Will any turfman, or any ose else in his
senses, have the temerity to say that either of the
contending nags in yesterday’s race could have
lived a minute with the horses named above ?
In endeavoring to establish our theory, we have
wandered from tho legitimate matter. The race
was beautiful beyond description. The attend
ance was numerous; the day was charming in
deed. Tho course in the most perfect order we
ever beheld it: and it might seem superfluous to
say that all the horses stripped perfect pictures.
First Heat.—A beautiful running start, Clara in
the lead, Louis d'Or behind, all at a good turn of
speed—the positions during the first mile unchang
ed, and also the second mile, but the close ob
server could notice a slight increase of speed. On
reaching the back stretch cf tho third mile,*/’kin
way made play, and a beautiful contest onsued.
Clara opened a slight gap upon lilm at the half
mile, but he renewed tho contest with such vigor
that she was obliged to yield “the track ’ in
rounding the turn previous to coming into the
last stretch. Louis, who had been gradually im
proving his position, made desperate play down
thestreteh. The run homo caused great excite
ment. Louis almost lapped him after passing the
drawgates, and but for his unfortunate peculiarity
of clinging to the inner side of the track, it was
thought by many he would have won the heat—as
it was Pickaway only beat him by about three feet
in 5.86%.
We forgot to mention, that previous to starting
Louis d’Or was favorite againrt the field, 100 to So.
After the loss of the heat the betting was unchang
ed, save that Louis’ friends were more ardent.
Pickaway’s rider, Mr. Stephen Weleb, au
lent rider, who rode Grey Eagle in his celebrated
races with Wagner, found himself unable on ac
count of his weakness, to manage the horse to do
him justice, and Abe, Col. Bingaman's boy, was
substituted in his place.
Second Heat. —We confess our inability to do
justice in describing this heat. It was a continu
ed brush from the beginning to its close. Picka
way took the lead, determined to maintain it
throughout, Louis d’Or close upon him, equally
intent of depriving him of his laurels. Around
the first turn they were lapped; up thebackstretch
away they went like twin bullets, a short pull u
rouud the turn, aud into the homo stretch, at it
they rattle away. Pickaway seems tooutfoothim,
hut he renews tho battle with unceasing effort, the
second mile being a repetition of the first. The
excitement of the multitude at this point knew no
bounds, and it conld only find relief in shouts,
which made the very heavens echo back the sound.
At a wildly increased pace they entered the third
mile, the positions being unchanged. Louis’ ef
forts, deparate as they were, se.med fruitless, un
til well into the home stretch, when his rider bod
ing him up for a desparate struggle, charged with
a fury that was perfectly resistless, and lapping
him within about a hundred yards of the draw
gales, gave him the go i>y. Silence did not ac
company. The grey evidently gave it up when lie
was lapped, and Louis came home and easy win
ner in 5.85. . tv I
A charge of foul riding was made against 1 lck
away’B rider, bnt was not sustained. The lecture
given the rider, however, was “some.”

the lead and kept it throughout in 5.47%.

Results of the Milas Insurrection.—The New
ark Advertiser extracts the following paragraph
from a private letter recently received from an
American lady, sojourning in the vicinity of the
districts affected by the recent insurrection in
Lombardy:
« * * * Hut I must just add a word of our suf
ferinzsjust now in sympathy with poor down trod
den Lombardy. You have, doubtless, ere this
learned that an attempt at insurrection by the iron
bonnd slaves of Milan, has been visited by such
atrocious despotism as has not been dreamed of in
modern times. 0 e'est rraiment ofrtuxf Thou
sands of poor Swiss, whose sustenance depended
on their daily labors, have been sent without even
a day’s warning into their native mountains, to
traverse the snows in mid-winter, with their wives
and children, without food or covering—leaving al!
they had at the mercy of the barbarians. The city
of Milan has been for weeks guarded as by siege;
at every door armed soldiers, and the most hor
rible executions, and in fact murders, by the Aus
trian soldiers are committed every hour—cruelties
unheard of since the middle ages! But the last
astounding act of despotism is the seizure by the
Austrian government of many of the richest pal
aces of the princes and nobles, which have been
turned into barracks for the army ; and finally, all
the wealth of every Lombard who was in any way
compromitted in ’4B has been sequestered, and the
revenues appropriated to the support of the army.
This includes hundreds who have since become
citizens of this and other countries, who are thus
changed in a day from princes to beggars! O
what ice see of >he effect here only, is too horrib.e!
Butcertaintly England, America and Piedmont,
cannot look on and do notAino, when their own
citizens arethns atrociously robotd by Austria with
out law or reason.

IN SENATE, April 4.
! The Senate proceeded to the consideration of
the resolution of Mr. Brodhead, directing the
i Secretary of the Treasury to communicate to the
Senate, at the commencement of the next session
of Congress, a statement ex .ibiting the amount of
Federal, State, raiirroad, canal, and all other Ame-
I rican stocks held in foreign countries.
He said this information was highly important,
and would be useful not on.v to the country, bnt
to the Senate, in the consideration of measures
which may be brought forward during the next
: Congress, in relation to a revision of our revenue
; laws. He exhibited a few statistics to show our
I immense indebtedness, which, he said, was con
stantly increasing. In this be thought he saw
' some of the symptoms which preceded tho break
; down of 1540. He knew that this is a fast age,
I bat regretted to see so many people endeavoring
; to get rich without industry, economyor frugality,
| the living principles of a republic. The prospect
was anything but ugreeable to contemplate.
Mr. Reward thought that there was a mis-state
-1 meat in the statistics which the Senator had ex
hi Kited, and that the facts would go far to remove
| the apprehensions which he had expressed. He
expressed the pleasure which he would experience
in voting for the resolution.
It was agieed to.
The Senate went into an Executive session, and
after some time spent therein, the doom wete
opened, and the Senate adjourned.
IN SENATE, April 5.
The Senate discussed tor a short period, a pro
position relative to making a contract with J. C.
Rives, for thirty seven copies of the Congressional
Globe aud Appendix tor each Senator, and tor the

The following resolution, offered by Mr. Hous
ton, was, after debate, laid on the table :
Resolved, That John K. Bartlett, late commis
sioner, and A. B. Gray, late United States sur
veyor of the Mexican boundary, be authorised to
furnish a report and plans to the Senate of the
explorations made by them, and by others con
nected with the commission under them, on the
topography, geography, and natural history of the
regions adjacent to the line, with such informa
tion as collected relative to the Indian tribes
through Texas, California and New Mexico ; and
that the work bo executed under the supervision
of the Department of the Interior, in a style and
form corresponding with the publication of the
History, Condition aud Prospect of the Indian
Tribes, by 11. R. Schoolcraft, now in course of
publication ; and Owens’ Report on tho Geology
of Lake Superior, provided the same does not
exceed two volumes; that one thousand copies be
published for the use of tho Senate at as early a
period as practicable ; and that the Secretary of
the Senate ishereby authorised to contract for the
publication thereof, and to defray the expenses
thereof out of the contingent fund.
After an executive session, the Senate ad
journed.
IN SENATE, April 6.
On motion of Mr. Seward, a resolution was
adopted calling on the President of the U. States
to communicate such official information as he
may have received touching the recent transac
tions at San Jnau dc Nicaragua.
A resolution relative to publishing tho debates
in the Senate in the National Intelligencer was de
bated. and its consideration postponed until the
first Monday in December next.
Three thousand copies of Captain Ringgold’s
charts of the coast of California, heretofore order
ed to bo purchased, were, by resolution offered by-
Mr. Gwin, directed to be placed in the hands of
the Secretary of the Treasury for distribution
among navigators.
On motion of Mr. Houston, the report of the
examination of the Patent office, made in 1831, 1
was called for from the Department of the Into- '
rior.
Mr. Houston submitted a resolution, which lies
over, proposing to introduce Mr. H. Johnson’s
vea ami nay machine into the Senate, and setting
apart SISOO for that purpose. i
The Scnute considered, and then postponed till 1
to-morrow, the resolution of Mr. Chase, proposing I
that all proceedings of the body shall be public 1
and open, except when matters communicated in l
confidence by the President shall be received and 1
considered, and in such other cases as the Senate, i
by resolution, from time to time shall especially i
order.
Tho Senate went into executive session three ]
several times during tho day, and at fifteen min- I
utes past three adjourned.
IN SENATE, April 7.
Mr. Bright offered a resolution, which was adopt
ed, requiring all resolutions directing the payment
of money out of tho contingent fund of the Senate,
or creating a charge on the same, to be referred to
the committee to audit and control the contingent
expenses of the Senate.
Mr. Seward submitted a resolution providing
for the publication of the debates of the last ses
sion in the National Intelligencer. Itlies over.
On motion of Mr. Mason, the Senate took a re

IN SENATE, April 8.
The Senate met at 12 o’clock, and immediately
went into executive session. The doors were
shortly afterwards opened, when Mr. Bright, from
the contingent committee, reported back tbe reso
lution of Mr. Houston, which proposed to appro
priate fifteen hundred dollars for tho purpose of
sotting up in the Senate Mr. Henry Johnson's ma
chine for taking tho yeas aud nays. The commit
tee made no recommendation.
Mr. Dodge, of lowa, thought this maohine might
be useful in the House, but not in so small a body
as the Senate.
Mr. Hamlin expressed his objections to the ma
chine in a lew jocular remarks; one of which was,
that somo gentlemen would not know how to vote
until they were so instructed by tho file leaders.
Mr. Muilory was opposed to the machine.
Mr. Butler thought an amendment should be
made, providing for tho employment of spiritual
rappers to indicate how Senators shall vote.
Mr. Houston advocated the adoption of tho ma
ohine, and was for rewarding Mr. Johnson’s genius.
The resolution was then rejected.
A resolution, proposing to adjourn sine die to
morrow, unless tho President has further execu
tive communications to make, was laid upon the
table.
Astor an executive session, the Senate adjourn

An affray occurred on tho 16tli between Don
Cresccneion Bovcs, a member of the Chamber of
Deputies, and Senor Rafael, editor of the Univer
sal, in which the latter was wounded by a thrust
with a sword-cane. The Government had order
ed Senor Boves, who was confined to his house
with illness, to bo arrested, and the affair would
undergo judicial investigation.
The vote for President was counted and official
ly declared on the 17th as follows: Seventeen for
Santa Anna, Uraga three, Ceballos one, Trias,
Governor of Chihuahua, one, and one vote, Puebla,
for whoover may obtain the majority. The cere
mony was conducted with great pomp aud a large
military attendance.
Senor Falconnct denies the acensntion of having
written to the English holders of Mexican bonds
that he had expended $60,000 in bribery with the
deputies. The story is said to have been got up
from personal enmity.
The State of Conhutla has declared that the corn

According to the Monitor a singular affair has
occurred in Nuevo Leon. It states that the Col
lector of Camargo sent for a tnan named Don Ber

an hour for religious preparation, ordered him to
be shot. [We have formerly stated, on'ifle author

The Mexican papers state that tho Tehuantepec
Company have taken a lively interest in the con
struction of the railroad from Mexico to Vera
Cruz, and that they were engaged in conferences
with the municipal government of Vera Cruz in
relation thereto. “As usual,” says one of the
papers, “ with all useful enterprises, the company
already find obstacles and opposition from the

Conviction of Spring.
Philadelphia, April 7th.—The jury came into
Cour this morning and rendered a verdict of
Guilty of the Murder in the First Degree against
Si ring. After the jury were polled, the prisoner
asked permission to make a statement. Leave
was granted, and he made a long address—giving
an account of his acquaintance with the murdered
women and his visits to their house. He says his
son told him he would go to Carroll’s house on
Thursday night and get the money, Lynch being
gone to New York. He tride to disuade him
from the robbery, but no mention was made of
murder. His son told him on that night to go to
bed and he did so. The boy came home some
time in the n’ght and asked for a pocket-book.—
He said he had the money. He went out in the
morning and bought the shirts, but only gave him
(Spring) a dollar note and a gold dollar. His son
said nothing of the murder, and he knew nothing
of it until he was arrested. He closed with solemn
asseverations of his own innocence and the guilt
of his son. Ho was willing to die, but would die
innocent.
Judge Kelly rebuked the prisoner for his hardi
hood in persisting in such improbable statements
when his moments on earth were numbered. He
went over the history of his son and the evidence
in the case to show how utterly false was all that
lie had uttered. He concluded by urging him not
to die with a falsehood on his lips, but • y telling
the truth, to clear the character of his son from
suspicion.
Sentence was deferred and the prisoner sent
back to prison. The Court House and vicinity
was densely thronged, but no manifestation of
feeling took place, thongh the crowd was evident
ly overjoyed at the result.
Ohio and Mississippi Eailboad.— We derive
from an authentic source says the New York
Times) the following particulars in relation to the
Ohio and Mississippi Eailroad, connecting the
cities of Cincinnati and St. Louis by a line three
hundred and thirty-five miles in extent:
The work is all sub let, and forces are employed
on each separate section throughout the line.
The grading for one hundred and fifty-six miles,
eighty-two on the Cincinnati end, and seventy
four on the western or St. Louis end, will be fully
completed next October, ready for the superstrnc
ture. This work wai commenced in July of last
year, and ha. been prosecuted as required by the
contracts, which expire in October next. Fifteen
engines have been purchased, all to be en the line
on or before the Ist of October. Cars are being
delivered at the rate of twenty per month, and the
line will be well supplied for next winter’s opera
tions. Ten thousand tons of iron rails have been
purchased, to be delivered, in May and June of the
present y. ar. More than tour hundred laborers
are employed on the line, and the grading will
be completed within two years. The line will be
opened and in operation from Cincinnati to the
Jeffers .nville road, eighty-two miles, by the Ist of
January next, forming a railroad connexion be
tween Cincinnati and Louisville, twenty five miles
shorter than the river route, and at the same time
also from St. Louis to the Illinois Central road, and
by the Ist of July, 1854, to the New Albany road,
forming the shortest possible railroad connexion
between St. Louis and Louisville; and via Louis

Louisiana Sugar Crop.
We have before us a copy of Mr. P. A. Cham
pomier’s excellent “ Statement of the Sngar Crop
made in Louisiana in the year 1852-87” This
work, which s made up at the cost of unremitting
labor and continued travel in the sngar prodneing
parishes of our State, gives a most exact and per
, tect picture of our great productive inaiistry, aud
I is probably more minute in its detail than any simi
lar work published—in any country.—The intro
! ductory remarks of Mr. Champomiershowthat in
iauc, as well as in cotton, corn and other agricul
tural products, the last season was oneof the most
favorable ever known in Louisiana. He says;
“ Among the other peculiarities of this last sea
son, it may be worth noting that some of our plan
ters, after having finished their sugar making and
the planting of their oaue for the next crop found
themselves with a surplus of seed cane on hand,
aud some of them have made sugar from cans that
had been over three mouths in the mats. Rome
fed their hogs with what they had remaining: oth
ers gave it to any ueighbor wanting it, and finally
some had to bnru it to get it out of their way.”
In consequence of a favorable season and the
advanced maturity ot the cane, sugar making was
commenced earner last fall than in any previous
year, and as tho juice was exceedingly rich, weigh
ing irom nine to ten aud a hall degrees, the yield
was largo per acre, and the sugar of excellent
quality. Mr. Champomier states the total product
of the State to be:
Brown Sugar made by the old process 275,671 hhds,
Refined, c arified, £e., including cistern.... 46 268 “
Total 8*1,984 hhds.
Which at an approximate estimate of 1,125 lbs.
net per hogshead, gives 868,129,000 ponnds. Os
this quantity, 82,480 hogsheads, beingthe proa not
of fifty-one plantations, were made by the various
new processes aud vacuum principle, the balunee
of the crop being worked by the usual process of
open kettles.
“The yield of Molasses has been somewhat less
than that of last year, on many plantations; though
on the other hand, others have produced large
quantities of the article; so that, on a general
average, it may be estimated at seventy gallons per
thousand pounds ot sugar, or 25,700,000 gallons as
the entire crop.”
The number of sugar houses in the Stato, is
1,481, of which 943 nse steam and 588 horse power.
Mr. Champomier states the product of sugar in
Texas, this last season, to have been 11,028 hogs
heads, of somewhat lighter weight than our Lou
isiana hogsheads, averaging one thousand pounds
each. In regard to the sugar culture in onr sister
State, he says:
“The crop of Texas I do not understand as well
as that of Louisiana, and cannot therefore speak
very knowingly, but my information emanates
from such a source as makes me confident the
statement given is as nearly, correct as can be uu
der the circumstances. The actual crop ought uot
to be considered to average more than one thou
sand pounds per hogshead. We are informed
that about four more estates-in that State will pro
duce for the next crop, besides a few more on the
Trinity river in Liberty couuty, whieh produced
very little this crop, having lost most of their cane
by frost last year.”
While we contemplate with pleasure this bounti
ful yield of the soil, it is also a satisfaction to re
fleet that the prices obtained for the product this
season have been retnuneia'ive. The growing
wealth and extending prosperity of the country
have sustained our markets until within a very
short period, when prices have given way some
what under the pressure of the abundant supply.
Tho greater part of tho crop had passed previous
to this decline into the hands of the intermediate
agents between the producer and consumer, so
that our planting iutcrest has reaped its full re
ward. The abandonee of money now enables the
present holders toawuit the demand naturally con
sequent to the growing wants of the community,
and there is little reason to suppose the year’s busi
ness will be an unprofitable one to them.
In regard to tho coming crop, Mr. Champomier
has the following remarks:
“ As for the coming crop its result is, of oourse
in the future, but we may remark that as far as the
season has gone every thing looks well lor the
planters. Each and every one of them has made
a good plauting, such as has never been made be
fore in this State; and besides this, therattoons
must be good, for the winter and spring thus far
have been of the most favorable character. Thus
far, therefore, the prospects for a fine crop may he
Baid to be good, and considering the ex'ent of the
planting and the rattoons of the first year being
good (fur there are hardly any other than first year)
should the coming season bo as favorable as the
last the crop cannot fail to be very large.”
The Preach Army.
The Paris correspondent of tho National Intelli
gencer, writing uuder date of March 14, thus ex
poses the mode by whieh tho Emperor Na-'olcon
is increasing the army of the Empire, whilst ho
announces its decrease as one of tho evidences of
his peaceful intentions:
I explained in a lujo letter the true character and
import of tho pretended reduction of the army so
ostentatiously announced a few weeks ago for tho
purpose of quieting the apprehensions which, not
withstanding the oft repeated pacific professions
of tho Emperor, were generally felt with regard to
his foreign policy. I argued that no serious and
permanent reduction had been effected ; that the
measure so pompously announced amounted at the
very utmost to tha discharge of some twenty or
thirty thousand men six or seven months sooner
than by law they would havo been entitled to their
discharge; and that this measure was dictated
solely by financial considerations; no sensible,
well-informed persons supposing that, however re-
Bolvcd upon an aggres-ive foreign policy the new
Emperor may be, he would havo need of the active
intervention of an army in its support before Ihe
legal expiration of the term of service of the men
now .discharged. And I further argued that to
give any other than financial importance to the an
nounced reduction, the pledge should huve been
given to omit calling into actual service the 80,000
men forming, since 1830 tho annual contingent
supplied by conscription for the periodical removal
ot the ranks of the French artny. Facts are now
occurring to corrcborate my argument. The Em
peror has submitted to the Legislative Corps a bill
providing for the summoning to tho standards of
tho usual quota of 80.000 young conscripts from
the class of 1853. The whole number of young
men in Franco annually subject to this call is’about
315,000. Os these, 80,000 are to be chosen by lot
to serve for seven years in the army. Tho bill has
already been favorably reported on in tho Legisla
tive Corps, and will doubtless soon become law
without modification. The Legislature would not
rush its impertinence to the extent of hesitation
to obey the imperial behest in a matter of this sort.
It has been the rule, I say, since the first year of
the reign of Louis I’hilipe, to place those 80,000
recruits annually at the disposition of Govern
ment. Government has usually, perhaps invaria
bly, called only 40,000 of them actually into ser
vice, leaving tne other 40,000 at home, bnt subject
at any momeutto be called out, if in the discretion
of the Government tho exigencies of the State
should seem to require it. By this means the ef
fective military force constantly kept at the dispo
sal of Government has been 5u0,000 men.
So far, therefore, from offering to Europe as an
earnest of the sincerity of his pacific professions
an effcctivo reduction of the military force of
France, Napoleon 111 has given himself the power
by this new bill now before the House to increase
by upwards of 100,000 men, without further legis
lation, the ordinary force of tho army ; for the ef
fect of the ru’e to call OHt but 40,000 of the 80,000
conscripts composing the annual contingent, and
of the practice, just acted upon by the Emperor,
of discharging several months before the rigorous
expiration of their term of service most of the
men composing the oldest class of conscript*, has
been to keep the number of men actually under
arms at a figure a little under 400,000. Now, let
him call out, as he is authorized to do, the full 80,-
000 of the class of 1853, and discharge prematurely
■ none of the older classes, and we have, by admis
sion of tho legislative report this day published,
500,000 bayonets bristling about the Emperor, ready
to execute his will, implicitly and ruthlessly,
whether upon the boulevard Montmartre for the
maintenance of his away at home, or upon the bat
tle-fields of Europe for its extension abroad. For
several days past the semi-official journals have
been employing a most suspicions zeal and much
sophistical argument to persuade Europe that there
is nothing in all this inconsistent with the E i pe
ror’s prolessed peace policy, or going to show that
there has not been a veritable redaction of the
military force of France to tho amount of 50,000
men. The Pays, after expressing its surprise and
indignation that in spite of everything thereshould
remain some who still doubt the trnth of tho pro
position, “ Vempire e'est la paix," declares the ex
pression of these doubts to bo an insult to Franco
and its government: for “ when tho chief of a
State like France avers his desire to maintain
peace, and announces with this view a considera
ble diminution of our military foroe, no one is
permitted to disbelieve him; for France is great
enough, and strong enough, and true enough to
have nothing to fear, and consequently to have
nothing to conical.”
We shall see. In the meantime let ns note some
signs of the growing strength of the na. al as well
as of the military power of France. I see that two
new squadrons are to be formed, composed each
of six ships of the line, under the command of a
Vice Admiral and connter-Adiniral. One of the
squadrons is to have its rendezvous at Toulon, on
the Mediterranean, and the other at Brest, on the
Atlantic. The naval stores on hand in the various
ship-yards and military posts of France amount in
value to upwards ot $87,000,000.
Steamship Augusta.
The new steamship Augusta, whieh arrived here
from New York on Saturday morning, is one of
tbe finest specimens of naval architecture we ever
beheld. Iler hull was modeled and built, as most
of onr readers are aware, by Mr. W. H. Webb, of
New York, who it is generally conoedod, has no
superior in his profession. The material used in
her construction are of the most durable descrip
tion, namely, live oak, locust and red cedar. Her
dimensions ate as follows :—225 feet long; 35 feet
beam ; and 21 feet depth of hold. She is ten feet
longer than her consorts, and larger every other
way in proportion. She has accommodations for
about fifty more passengers than the Florida or
Alabama —having, in addition to the usual rooms
below, twenty fine state rooms on deck : eleven
aft and nine forward. Her saloons are spacions
and handsomely wainscotted with rose, satin, and
other fancy woods, and the whole finished in the
first style of nantic-J beaty. One great improve
ment in tbe Augusta’s saloons is the admirable
mant er in which they are ventilated—a row of
sky-light windows having been placed on either
side. Her accommodations for passengers, we
should judge, are all that can be desired for health
comfort or safety.
The Augustus model, in our opinion, is fault
less. She is sharper, or perhaps we should ray,
moi e on the clipper order, than her consorts.—
Viewing her broadside, her hold and buoyant
sheer and the excellence of her workmanship ren
der her an object of unqualified admiration. Her
bow is perfectly plain, while her Btern—which is
semi-eliptical in form—ls tastefully ornamented
with a gilt eagle on the wing and some scroll work.
On the paddle boxes is a beautifully carved build
ing, representing the City Hall at Aug sta, in this
State, aftet which city the steamer is named.
Her machinery was made at the New York No
velty Works, which we take it is sufficient guar
antee of its excellence. She has an oscillating en
gine : 85 inch cylinder; 8 feet stroke, with “pup
pet valves,” steam-chest, steam-passages and
cylinder, all in one casting. The mode of work
ing the engine is entire different from that of the
Alabama or Florida. It is similar to the wheel for
steering a ship, and can be worked by one man
with the greatest case. The crank-shafts and pil
lars are made ofthe best wrought iron, and are
considerably heavier than those on the other
steamers. A simple and pretty arrangement for
working the air and fresh water pumps is a pecu
liarly constructed little machine, having a long
arm, or beam, and is operated by the piston-rod.
Amongthe late improvements on board the An
gusta is Pierce’s patent surface condenser, which
it is calculated is a saving in fuel and wear and
tear of the boilere, of fully one-half. Fresh water
is placed in the boilers atthe commencement of the
voyage, and after the steam comes from the boilere
and performs 'ts functions in the engine, it is
pumped back in the boilers again. Thus the same
water is used over and over, to the end of the
voyage. This new invention also condenses salt
water into fresh. The old method of condensing
was to throw overboard the water after being once
used, and replace it with fresh The wheels are
80 feet in diameter, and ten feet face ; buckets 20
inches wide. In case of fire on board, the arrange
ments for its extinction are complete. There are
two valves on the top of the air vessels of the
feed pipes to the boilers, in the fire rooms, on
which hose can be placed at any moment. She is
also provided with a pumping engine, with a dis
charge pipe on deck, to wnicu hose can be attach
ed. This iB worked by a small engine. There
are also two small pumps, (one forward and the
other aft) which are also designed for a similar
purpose.
The greatest caution has been observed with re
gard to making everything fire-proof in the fire
rooms. The coal bunks are all made of boiler
iron, and the bulkheads are all cased in sheet iron.
IThe Augusta is what may be called a floating pal
ace and a visit to her will well repay anyboby who
bM half an hours leisure.—Nae. Sep. IHA inst.

amount to 2,900 bales at Bto 10%c. The market is
firm and prioes full.
Tornado in Sumter. —We are informed by Mr.
Joseph Cobb, who resides some four miles from
Americns in Sumter county, that on the night of
the 21st ult., a tornado passed over a portion of
that county, which for violence is ahead of any
that we have heard of yet. It passed through a
portion of his plantation, and upon forty acres of
fresh land which was very heavily timbered, but
two solitary trees were left standing. He informs
us that it took five hands steady cutting, two days
to cut the logs off the fences, without stopping to
roll them, and he says if he can get that ground
cleared up by the middle of May he will think
himself extremely fortunate. Fortunately it did
not strike any of hiß buildings, but some of his
neighbors did not escape so well, several of them
having their houses either blown down or unroof
ed A considerable number of horses, cows and
hogs were killed. The tornado passed in an east
erly direction, sweeping everything before it
wherever it alighted. In portions of Dooly and
Houston we understand it was very severe.— Vade

OBITUARY,
Sister AMY M. HEARD, wife of brother Isaac T. Heard,
departed this life on the 27th of February last. She was,
and had been for years, a member of the M. E. Church
South, in the city of Augusta. Her meek, unobtrusive
piety commanded a universal confidence, and won from
those wh • knew tier best, the most unqualified admiration.
Religion manifested the strength sf its principles in her,
not by bold enterprise or loud and confident profession,
but by the uniform tenor of a godly walk and the humani
ty and gentleness of a Christian spirit. Regular in her at
tendance upon the means of grace, her experience mellow
ed with the progress of time, and her last sudden and fa
tal illness found her ready for the great change. Happy
in her husband, children and friends, bound to earth by all
the ties which made it painful to die. yet grace prevailed,
nature yielded, and tl e last farewell lost its bitterness in
the essence of Heaven. Her dying charge was that her
childrr n should be kept together and raised for God, and
having committed the objects of her warmest affection to
the mercy and care of our Heavenly Father, she slept in
Jesus. A large concourse attended her funeral, and her
buria. was in tears, yet in hope. “ Dust to dust,” but the
spirit lives in glory, and the dead body shall rise renewed,
immortal, fit companion for the happy soul. May we all
have part in the first resurrection and be forerer with the
Lord. G. F. P.

COTTON.—The receipts of the Arctic’s new* on Wed
nesday last had a depressing effect on the market, and pri
ces declined X/*nt. The sales, howerer, were Tery lim
ited at these rates. On Thursday there was a better feel
ing, a spirited demand sprung up and prices recovered
what was lost the day previous. Since then the demand
has been steady, and a fair business has engaged dealers
at fall prices. To-day the demand has been good and
prices Arm. The market doses Arm at the following

TRADE AND BUSINESS.—AIthough the business of the
week has been fair for the advanced stage of the season,
yet the amount of trade has not been large, being princi
pally conAned to Ailing of small country orders.
GROCERIES.—In the Grocery market we have little
change to note. Business is rather quiet and prices with
few exceptions, are the same as last reported. Rio Cffooe
has advanced slightly and the article is held very Ai ra by
dealers. In other descriptions wu note no change. The
limited supply of Molasses and Balt has improved prices,
and holders are very Arm at the advanced rates. In Bugar
and other leading articles we note no change, and would
refer to our quotations as a fair index of current prices.
PROVIS'ONS.—The heavy stock of Bacon continues to
depress prices. We hear of no sales, exceot in small lots
for the city trade. There seems little dispoeit ion to buy or
sell at the present rates. The market Is we'l supplied with
Flour and prices have undergone no change.
GRAlN.—There has been a slight improvement in Corn
during the week, and we have made our quotations to con
form to the actual transactions. Wheat continues in de
mand at our quotations.
NAILS—Are not so Arm as they have been, and SX«. is
now the regular rate.
EXCHANGE.—The Banks supply checks on the North
at X i uer cent, premium.
FREIGHTB.—To Savannah the rate is reduced to 25c. |$
bale for Cotton. To Charleston, $1 per bale. The river
continues in free navigable condition.
Foreign Markets.
LIVERPOOL, March 24.—The demand for money con
tinues very considerable, owing to the general activity of
trade, and the enhancement in the value of nearly nil
commodities and of wages; but the supply is equal to th“
demand, and the market is easy at former rates. Early
in the week some apprehension of pjlitical embarrassment
arising out of the state of affairs in Turkey, caused a de
cline in Consols to 99 to 99#, from which they have since
rallied to 99# to
The Manchester market is quiet. Fine • counts of Yarn
No. SO and upwards, are in demand, and prices of these
continue to harden. The medium and lower numbers are the
turn easier.
Since our last the business done in Cotton in the Liver
pool market has been on a moderate scale, the dAily sales
being about 6000 or 7000 bales. Cotton is freely offered ;
prices remain about the same as on Friday last; if the e
is any change it is in favor of the buyers. The market
closes without animation. To day’s sales are 9000 bules;
2000 speculation and export, at steady prices. No busi
ness will be done here in Cotton to-morrow, (Good Friday)
nor on Saturday. The week’s sales amount to 48 540 ba es,
including 2920 on speculation and 8420 for export. The
imports are only 9386 bales, the wind having been easter
ly. We quote Fair Orleans 6#d.; Middling 6#d.; Fair
Mobile 6d.; Middling 5 9-16 d.; Fair Upland 6U.; Middling
6#d.
in Breadstuff* there is more tone—a slight speculative
feeling is apparent. Flour is 6d. dearer. In other articles
no change in value can be quoted, though sales are more
easily made.
LIVERPOOL, March 24.—The Cotton market continues to
be very freely supplied, and there is an evident disposition
on the part of the trade only to buy for their immediate
wants, as the excess of the stocks here leads them to be
lieve that prices will not&dvar ce materially, and may go
lower; this feeling has been equal to l-16d lb. against
the se ier this wetk. Business in Manchester is quid.
HAVRE, March 28. f here is a heavy snowstorm now
prevaili g,and the town is covered with the flakes. In
Cotton t 1 e saies of the last seven days re tc*i IS,BBS bales,
of which 8 200 bales afloat, and prices rose fully f 2 to 8 on
the Arct c’s news, but after receipt of the A rub a s ac
counts, p».r telegraph, our rates were barely suppoited,
and the market became quite flat.
Our advicts from the iuterior continue satisfactory ; at
Mulhausen the weekly transaction* had been mod impor
tant, and prices were firmly supported for Yarn as we las
manufactured produce. Supplies of Cotton Prints were
limited, and the demand for them particularly brt>k.
At Rouen the approach of Eastern hull lays had been
obnoxious to business in general and verv little was doing
in Cotton prints; however Baloac manufactures were run
off more easily, and toward the close of the week, the im
portant sales made In Havre Wednesday an Thursday
had occasioned a lively demand for yarn with an upward
tendency in prices.
NEW YORK MONEY MARKET, Saturday, March 9.
There is more ease in the money market; loans 6n call
are freely offered at lower rates, and business paper is
more current in the street at prices in favor of the bor
rower.
The imports of General Merchandise for the week show
a falling off from the correspoding week of last year, both
in Dry Goods and General Merchandise as will be seen by
the following comparison:
Imports of Foreign Dry Goods at New York.
For the week.

General Merchandize 2,688,624 1,827,780

Included in the receipts of general merchandise fir the
week are *811,820 In Sugar; *154,127 In Coffee; *128,921
in Tea, and *96,86u in Brandy.
While the imports have decreased, the exports for the
week show a very 'arge increaie, the total (exclusive of
specie) being *1,416201 agsinst *911,954 for the corres
ponding week of last year.

NEW YORK, April 9.— Cotton.— The market has been
dull for the past three days. Our quotations remain un
changed, though the turn for the lower grades Is rather in
favor of the buyer. The sales of the week amount to 10,-

PLANETT’B DYBPEPTN} BITTERB.
TeMmony from a Procuring Physician.
CHETHAM, April 2kd, 1858.
DEAR SlßHaving my attention called by afrlend
to the article of PLANETT’S BITTERS, I was in
duced to try its effects upon a patient, who had been suf
fering for some time with Dyspepsia, attended with a very
impaired appetite,—great difficulty of digestion, and ex
treme costiveness. 1 gave him of these Sitters a small
dose after each of his meals, which seemed to impart relief
I found they corrected the acidity of the stomach,—in
creased its action, and augmented the tone so much so,
that it gave me great confidence in the preparation, and I
have directed the gentleman to continue its use, anticipa
ting for him a speedy recovery.
(Signed) A. L. BANARD, M.D.

The high reputation which the Compound Byrup of

unprecedented In no case in which it has been used Is
there an instance of its having failed to effect a cure; in
all diseases of the bowels, it will be found the best prepa
ration that has ever hi en offered to the public. Nume
rous certificates from physicians and persons of high stand
ing in the community, nave been received recommending
the Compound Byrup ol Khuburb in the highest terms,
with the strong conviction that it is the best remedy of
the age. for all diseuses for which it is recommended.—
The Proprietor otters this medicine to the public, not
doubting that it will susta n the high reputati< n it h*.i al
ready acquired. In Chronic Diarrhoea, and the Bowel
Complaints, so frequently attendant upon children while
teething, no remedy will be found so universally effectual.
