In the Southern Control Agricultural Society, and
the fact that wo, on this aide of the I’otomac, stand
•lone, with not only Northern, but world-wide
* prej idiCSH, if not hostilities to enoounter, the
necessity of doing something—of doing much to
u .it« theHoath in systematic efforts to develop iU
k own s noat bonndleaa resouroo»-of doing much
* to increase Southern cuergy, and enlarge the
epirit of Southern enterprise, becomes vitally
important; and a* no movement of the present
d.y is hater, if »o well calculated to subserve
. t jj OTe enj,, a nd to accomplish these objects, as
the Southern Central Agricultural Society, it ia
deemed indispensable to place it in a more elevated
sod permanent poaition than can possibly be
accomplished for it by the voluntary subscriptions
of its mem crs. Therefore be it—
Jiao’io!, That the Executive Committee take

*• The Property Qualification for Uoveraor.”
If (ha editor of the OinetitulUmaliet dt Republic
* - bad bean content to publish the ebarge against
Mr. Jenkins, w hich hsd been preferred by the
l Macon Telegraph, and had only mado a reference
to it a* something which had been asserted by
I another, hi* conduct might possibly have been
l '■Justified upon the principle* which regulate
( modern journolism. But in hi* issue of 29th
Beptemlmr In t, ho proclaimed that he “ had done
Mr, Jenkins no Injustice in publishing tbecharge,"
dec.; that “nt wan prepared to reiterate the charge,
that he (Mr. Jenkin*,) did, in 1847, leave the
Speaker'* chair and make a speech in oppoaition
to the repeal ; ” that “ he wan furnished with the
names of gentlemen who were members of the
Legislature of 1847, as authority for the charge
that “ certificate'! of some of the moat respectable
citizens of the Slate, testifying that, they heard
the speech, will be furnished if necessary.” Thus
was the charge endorsed, negotiated, (fur a valua
bit combination too,) and put in circulation by
the editor of ttie Conetitutionalist d- Republic.
His in mo being thus placed by lii.nself upon the
paper, ho must bo held responsible for it in the
high court of pQbllo opinion. Tho charge was
ignored by Mr. Jenkins himself, denied by his
friends, and the proof called for time and again.
In tlia samo high court un action for the slander
has been instituted against the editor of the (Ant
UilulionalM it ICtpublic, and whou called on to
plead, he relies opon tho truth in justification of
himsoif, at the samo time admitting a mistake as to
the yoar, and notwithstandinghis positive assertion
that this /rent ipeech was tuado in 1847, says that
It must have been in 1345. Sue Constitutionalist
of 251 h December. Well bo it so. And now to
tho proof of this plea. il J'arturiunt moniet, nasce
tur rldieulus fnus."
Col. T. C. Howard buying bocn brought to the
stand by the defendant himself, states that he
does not recollect having heard any suoh speech.
Ti e editor has not given ns all of Col. Howard's
let tor—why dues he not publish it?
Judge Jackson is brought to tho stand. He
says ho Liu a vague impression npon his mind that
Mr. Jenkins did us was charged, and with tho next
dip of lis pun records/.is oum opinion of hit own
reliability in tho foliowing words : “My reoolloc
tion, however, is altogether too indistinct to be
relied upon," and further on he suys—“knowing
tho frailty of human memory, 1 have over been
cautious in characterising my recollection of tho
occurrence as vague, uncertain and indistinct."
The testimony of those two witnesses having
been concluded, tho dofondant announces that he
has closed his cose in the following worda :—“ Wo
lay boforo our renders, to day, ull tho information
wo have, and all wo have to say rotative, <te."
And to this most lame and impolont conclusion is
this serious churge brought. Thu defendant
having hud time ample enough to proparo his
enso lor trial at tho bar of public opinion, admit
ting that ho hud conversed with sovcrul members
of tho Legislature of 1645, none of whom rocol
locted any thing of such nu occurrence, now sub
mils Ht case lamely and ingloriously. Nor has
his rouiisnners in obtaining testimony been owing
to the want of effort to obtain it, as ho wuuht
have had un believe on tbo 25th nit. For he aaye
he wrote to tho oditor of tho Telegraph in Septem
ber last, with the ory of “ Help me Cassius or 1
sluU.” But tho 2 digraph man’s help was feoble
Indeed—ho was not a good witness.
Tho object for whioli tho charge waa preferred
having-been accomplished, (Mr. Jenkins’ defeat
and Uov. Johnson’s triumph,) aud all tho advan
tage to be derived from its reiteration having beou
received, the Editor of tho Constitutionalist it Re
public yields to Mr. Joukins tho tardy and extorted
tribute of his magnanimity by cheerfully (/) accord
ing to him the benefit of the presumptions, which
may arise in the case, without admitting lu all
Oiudorand fid mess that ho (tho Editor) would not,
upon tho same proof, doprivo a man of his money.
“Ho who steals my pnrso, <fco.,” the Editor can
tnako tho application.
But us this ou.-e la to be submitted to the public
for their verdict, having hoard tho testimony, lot
thorn now liston to tho law. The following iB
Judge Story’s languago, ns cited by the Supremo
Court of Georgia, with approbation lu 2 Kelly's
Reports, page 72:
“Winn tho party Intentionally, or by design,
misrepresents a material fact, or produces a faiso
Impression, lu order to mislead onother, or to en
trap or chout him, or to obtain an undue advantage
of him, in every such enso thoro is u positive fraud
in the truest souse of the torins. Tliuro is on evil
act, with nn evil intent, d’olum malum ad eircum

“vV bother tho party thus misrepresenting a fact

knowing whether it wero truo or false, is wholly
iiumuterml; tor tho allirmutioii of wliut ouo does

and law, as unjustifiable as the affirmation of what
is known to bo positively false.”
Unloss, tkon, in political warfare, this principle
is to obtain, thut reckless assertions, without a

Mobile Correspondence.
Mobile, Jsn. 4,1354.
Mb. KnnoßThe old year has passed away
for over, and tlio new yoar has takon its place,
destiiioJ from the seeds of tho same flattering
promisee and brilliant expectations, to reatiso tho
same harvests of disappointments for'the great
majority of the human family. And yet the great
majority are just as ready to trust to tho now
year, as if they had nevor been deceived by tiie
old.
Tho close of the old year has long been made
tho occasion, in our good city of Mobile, for a
kind of carnival, far more interesting, I think,
than those of other Irnds, of which all have heard
or road so much. On that evening, between the
hours of eight and uino, certain secret societies
suddenly appear in tho streets them some unknown
retreat, and headed by full bauds, march for the
publlo rooms, where ell the beauty ana nmtium or
tho city, in accordence with previous invitations,
reoeivod through the Post Office, are already
assembled to recoive them. There ere three
societies altogether The Cowbellian I)e Rakin,
the Strikeik, and tho Rising Generation. The
oldest of these is the first mentioned, the other
two being, in fact, imitatious of it. The first is
said to bs ooropesod of married men and the old
stock of citiiens—the Strikers, of young aud un
married men, while the Rising Generation are
said to be just what their name imports. The
first organization is said to have originated in a
midnight frolic on New Year’s Eve, some twenty
threo years ago, when aqua pura was considered
neither good for the health nor suited to the climate.
Since then evory New Year’s Evo, those strange
and mysterious apparitions come forth from their
secret places, to see the old year out and ualier in
e the new. Very few oi them ere known, except
perhaps by their most intimate friends, though
many aro the attempts made by their fair viaitore on
that evening to discover the maskers. They look
at their feet, notice their walk sud watch their
dancing, to ascertain by some peculiarity, whether
the individual behind the mask is not en ac
quaintance. Tho voice being affected by the
mask affords no indication. This, of course, leeds
to a good deal of amusement as, no doubt, some
ludicrous mistakes are made. Whatever mav
bavo been the origin ol those societies, they have",
of late years conducted their celebrations so, that
while sometimes humor and satire preside es their
representations, occasionally they exhibit a refined
and a highly classic Uste. Each New Year's Eve
brings an entirely new representation. Heathen
Mythology, Greek and Roman History, National
costumes, ancient end modern Shakspeare'* plays,
At., At., afford thorn fields whence they may
select thoir models. One year the Court of Chine
is represented in full costume ; loot year the Cow
beliians represented a series of classic tableaus
vitam*, embracing all the heathen divinities;
this year they selected a singular subject which
they entitled “ Types of Society.—The Dream of
a Pythagorean." The motto at the head of their
programme was as follows :
•* Thou almost rank'd me waver in my faith,
To hoM opinion with Pythe ;or.B,
That souls of animals ini as* thesuelvee
Into the tranks of men
The idea was that each member should repre
sent some character, but should appeet from the
shoulders op in the form of some animal whose nat
mral mstincta seemed to resemble most that charac
ter. For instance a millionaire was represented
with the head of an elephant; a banker figured
ai a vulture, a lawyer aa an alligator, a govern
ment official aa a rat, one of the “Upper Ten,’
as a Peacock, a politician as a fox, a hard shell
domocral as a lobster, a coquette us s cat, a swell,
aaa frog, an abolitionist aa a toad, Ac. Some of
the selections were certainly not very appropriate,
but all admirably got up. The theatre where
they received their visitors was fitted up in
quite a gorgeous style, aa the interior of a tent
handsomely lit up with an immense number of
cornered lamps representing ribbons of every
variety of oolor and pattern. The number of
characters was fifty-six, wbo stood in a general
tableux as the curtain rose. You may imaginethe
scene, but you can scarcely realise it* grotesque
appearance. After going through some evolutions
something like a quadrille, after that a gallopade,
and finally a grand march, the ladies were invited
to mingle in the dance, the psraquette being
floored like the stage. The Theatre was crowded.
The box-circle had been enlarged during the sum
mer so as to hold about two or three hundred
more than it did list year, but both that and the
upper tier were so crowded that great numbers of
the gentlemen bad to stand. Indeed the crowd
on the stage became so great and the scene alto
gether so suggestive of the ludicrous, that but
little dancing was carried on. Besides ss the
Cowbellians are generally supposed to be married
men, and theStrikera unmarried, the lodiea, how
ever anxious they all aro to aee the first, are
always in s hurry after their curiosity ie gratified,
to attend the ball given by the latter, which is
slwsys kept up to slut* hour. Not having a ticket
to the strikers ball, which was held at the Battle
House, I had notan opportunity of seeing them.
I understand, however, that they represented in
very handsome and appropriate costumi, the pro
minent characters of the Waveriy novels. The
Hieing Generation gave their Bail at the Armory
Hall, their represention, I understand, was of a
general character.
Tha Catholic Orphans’ Fair Always opens New
Year’s Eve, and is continued for several nights.
This year it is being held iu the Odd Fellow's
Hall, a very fine large room in the building erect
ed on Koyal street by that society. The room is
very large, and has been crowded three nights,
yet the fair is still going on now the fourth night.
The Catholic Maioand Female Orphan’s Asylums
contain about one hundred and twenty or thirty
children, who are supported by the male and
female schools of the Bisters of Charity and the
Brothers of Mercy, and in addition by the liberal
ity of our citizens, who attend the Fair with open
hands and purses. The receipts aro generally
between three and four thousand dollars.
On Saturday last we had a short spell of severe
weather here. It snowed, sleeted and rained, but
finally cleared up and left the evening fine for the
Carnival and the Fair. Binoe then we have
had very line frosty woather, until this evening.
It is uow raining. A—.

The Augusta Bridge.
Both of our city papers have published tho apol
ogy (V) with which tho Charleston Courier attempts
to sooth the just iudiguution of this community, at
the late legislative action of South Carolina, in re
gard to this Bridge.
The pertinacity, with which the law-givors of
that Stute have striven, for eight years, to deprive
us of property, to which we hold their own war
ranty title, cannot be excused, on the plea of “ hasty
action,” or want of familiarity with our rights. In
1845, they made a grantto their own Railroad Com
pany, which “sober second thought" induced ,
them to revoke; and from that day to this, re
peated acts have attempted to patch up, for Henry
Shultz, and his successors, a pretended title, which
their own Courts, and thoße oftho United States,
have ootiourred in deciding to bo groundless. How ,
far such a contest, with a municipal corporation in
another sovereignty, is consistent with the digni
ty of a high-minded State, thoso of her people may
answer, who aro in tho habilof designating Augus
ta, as a “ little d—d Yankee town." How far such
action is consistent with their own self respect, ,
and tho obligation of their own contract, will ap- •
pear from a brief statement of the facts. -
The gentleman, who iB said, by the Courier, (
to havo taken the lead in this last proceeding, may |
find the document, of which the Courior supposes ,
tho Legislature to have been ignoruut, on a publia ,
record, within a few minutes’ walk of his own of- ,
floo, viz: ia the Register of Edgefield, Book Y. Y. ,
fol. 192 tol‘J4. This is a deed from the Hon. Baylieb t
J. Eaiilk, acting under a special authority, granted f
for this very purpose by the Legislature of South l
Carolina, to Sumuel Hale, who was agent for the t
then owners of the Bridge, and wLosotitlo our City ,
Council now hold. The instrument is dated Do- ,
cembor 24,1880, and conveys apiece of land “ex- <
tending from tho margin oftho [Savunnah] river at (
low water mark, to the southern line of Market j
street, [in Hamburgh] bounded by east and west ]
lines, of the width of the Augusta Bridge.” “It t
being understood that this last piece or parcel of ,
land is to be used, held and enjoyod, solely and j
exclusively for tho purpose of the Bridge abut- ,
merit and highway.” Observo—this conveyance ]
is to Hamuel Hale and his assigns, in fee simple j
and forever, with a warranty or title from the „
State of South Carolina 1 And, in the face of that B
wairauty, the State of South Carolina, without of- i
soring any compensation to tho holders of their own }
title, authorises two of her own oitizens, who have j
no more oluim to iu» property than any two na- f
tives of Now-Zoaland, to exercise over it a frun- \
chise, which rendero it valueless I Aud, this, too, t
when the State reoeived from the purchaser Jive t
thousand dollars, for property, which, but for this (
franchieo, was not worth five hundred. ,
In diseusaing the act of 1845,'above referred to, t
about tho time of its passage, the Charleston Mor- <
cury stated that the purchase monoy of this pro- f
petty waa received by the State s agont, but was, t
in reality, the money of Henry Shultz. 1 give tho <
substance, not the language, of tho Editor—and 1
presume he was correct, though I know nothing '
about it. If it bo so, tho matter assumes a phase, t
still moro preposterous. The State gives a warran- 1
ty foo simple title to property, at an enormous >
prioo, and thou, without compensation to tho pur- >
chaser, grunts the solo right to use this very pro- >
perty, to the assignees of the man, whom they al- 4
lowed to pooket tho money I! '
Is “auy orroucous impression as to our rights” 1
an apology for an not like this for havo the legis- '
laturo of South Carolina yot to learn that Cure are ■
white people, living on this side of tho Savannah 1
Kivorf Their own warranty gives ub the abut- 1
mont on thoir side. This very statute oxprossly 1
rocognisos our right to tho “matorial structure of ■
the said bridge," within their own limits: and yet,
they undertake, without any compensation, to
givo to strangers a right, wiiich destroys tho vulue
of tho whole property.
Their entire action speaks to us, thus: “You 1
outside barl-anans own the abutment, on which the *
bridgo rests. You own the bridge itself. You *
may keep it in repair, and pay, as yon havo here- |
toforo done, all damages that may be sustained, 1
from any defect in its material structure. But
Jones & Kennedy belong to the celestial empire,
and Jones & Kennedy shall take the profits."
\V list this profit may ultimately provo, to the
beneficiaries of this procious specimen of legisla
tion, doth not yet appear. The end is not yet.
The Courts of South Carolina have never failed
to maintain the honor of their State: and perad
venture, they may refuse to sanction, even in their
owa legislature, nn set which would blot her pal
metto banner with “the indelible stain of broken
faith, and a violated contract.” Richmond.

A Word to Augras*.
A project ia now on foot in Charleston to con
struct a Railroad from Branchville, on the South
Carolina Railroad, to Millon, on the Central Rail
road. It will be well for the citizeus of Augusta,
and tho Stockholders of the Georgia Railroad, to
give thia subjeot a timely consideration—to come
to a clear and definite understanding of this matter
in ail of its bearings and consequences. They are
referred to "Mr. Bomier’a Map of the MlUedgeviile
and other Railroads.”
With that map before ine, I draw a line from
Millen to Branchville, and make the following de
ductions :
Travellers going Noith from all that section of
country south of tho Central Railroad, uow take
that road op to Augusts, thence the Wilmington
and Manchester Road from Branchville, then they
will take the short-cut across the country, end
save by so doing one-half the distance at least, and
be the means of diverting most of the downward
travel from Augusta, and aH, from tho city of
Sevanuah; aud its effect upon the travel Irom
North to South would be alike injurious to both
cities. The travel from Charleston to the interior
of Georgia is now by the Georgia Railroad, via
Augusta, then it will be divided, each taking the
most direct route. The object of Charleston is to
•onnoct teraolf with “Macon, Columbus, Mont
gomery," Ac., and her calculation is, that tho
shortest route to do so is by this route from Braneh
ville to Millen; but from an article published in
the Southern Recorder of the 6th December, it is
evident that Charleston is in error as to the saving
of distance by that project, and I here quote from
it:
“ From Charleston to Augusta ISS miles.
“ Augusta to Macon 121—257
“ Charleston to Branchville 6S miles.
“ Branchville to Millen 32 “
“ Milieu to Mtcoa 112—257”
Thus it is evident that Charleston can gain no
thing by this enterprise; and still it will be the
means of diverting travel from Augusta, and con
sequently the South Carolina Railroad and the
Georgia Railroad: also, of diverting travel from
Savannah, and her only oonsolation would be that
both Augusta and Savannah share a similar fate to
herself—thrown oat of the great line of Northern
and Southern travel. She will soon be connected
with Macon, via Augusta, Warreuton and Mil
ledgeville, and in auoh away as to benefit, not
injure, parties concerned. Alters.

II The liolydays having passed we may now hope
I, that Congress will proceed to bu.-iness. Usually
if in the affairs of life it is business first and. then
i, play, but with Congress it is the reverse of this,
e The proceedings during this week thus far, have
i not been without interest. In the Senate opened,
t incidentally, a debate upon tne Clayton-Bui wer
f treaty ; n subject which Gen. Cass, it will be re
f collected, brought up in the Senate about a year
f ago, wheh he charged Mr. Clayton with having
1 made a treaty, the terms of which Se ctors were
i not fully informed of, or misunderstood; a charge
, repelied by Mr. C., not then in the Senate, and
3 | successfully rebutted by a note from Col. Wm. E.
t King. The subject has now been again brought
| up by Gen. Cass, moving a call for the concspon
; deuce, Ac., relating to it.
. The papers having been sent in, Mr. Clayton
. discovered thata speech made by him, on the Sth
1 of March last in the Senate, partly in answer to
s Gen. Cass’ mado in January, had been trans
f mitted by the British Minister here, to the British j
l Cabinet, where it had been considered and for
mally referred to the Queen’s Solicitor Geceral for
t an opinion, which wus given by Mr. Harding, sent
i to Mr. Crampton, and by him communicated to
1 Mr. Marey, and by him sent to the Senate. Mr.
Marcy has thus been guilty of the very great iru
i propriety of lending himself to the British gov
, ernment to enable them to lay before the Senate
i of the United States, as reply to a speech of one
1 of its menbers upon an important subject of
i internation concept. Os this, Mr. Clayton very
. justly complains. Not that ho is not willing to
t meet the British Cabinet, aided by the Queen’s
Solicitor and all the lawyers in Her Majesty’s
i dominions; but there ia a manifest impropriety in
allowing Her Majesty’s Minister for foreign affairs
i to carry on a controversy between the two Gov
ernments in this way.
The opinion of Mr. Harding, however, amounts
to nothing ; it does not enter into auy reasoning
upon the subject, nor does it present any author
ities to sustain his construction of the treaty, but
is a short, explicit ip»e dixit, that such and such is
the proper construction of the treaty. Mr. Clay
ton, however, presented to the Senate, anti bed
ordered to bo printed an ab’.o and eomevvhat elab
orate opinion from lloverdy Johnson, coming to
a different conclusion from that of the Queen’s
Solicitor. As soon as the papers are printed the
subject will bo fully discussed by Gen. Cass, Mr.
Clayton, and perhaps some other Senators.
The most important movement in the House
was the offering on Tuesday, by Mr. Cutting, of
New York, of a preumbb and resolution calling
for the correspondence between Mr. Guthrie,
Secretary of the Treasury and Judge Bronson
which resulted in the removal of the latter from
the office of Collector of the Port of New York*
The resolution having been objocted to, laid over
one day, was then called up, and without debate
laid on the table 104 to 66, the House being very
thin, many members not having yet returned
from their holyday excursions.
This preamble and resolution was the guge of
battle, gallantly throwu down to the Administra
tion by one of the Now York National Democrats,
but what was its fate ! It was not only suffered to
lie untouched, but it was nailed down by a loyal
and subordinate House. It is worthy of note, and
I wish to call your attention especially to the fact, 1
that but throe Southorn Democrats voted against
laying the resolution on the table, namely, Judge
Bayley, of Virginia, Mr. Staunton, of Tennessee, 1
and Mr. Staunton, of Ky.
Lot the names of J mlgo Bayly and the two Staun • ,
tons, be forever honored; but let it be borne in mind i
that, when those who had signalized themselves 1
by standing up, in the hour of need, for the con
stitutional rights of the South, come forward, al
ledge that war had been waged upon them by the (
Administration, for no other reason than that they ,
would not affiliato and coalesce with the enemies
of Southern rights, and ask that tho subject may :
be investigated by Hie House, line mm only, of ;
all the Southern Democratic “ chivalry,” stop for- I
ward and staud by those who hud thus becomo in- ■
volved on their account 1 Oh, noble Southrons ! ‘
gallant Democrats ! high-toned Chivalry ! How
brilliant will become that page of history which re- i
cords this signal instance of generous fidelity, of *
noble gratitude 1 and how proud must be tha dc- ,
scondants of those heroic spirits who have, in a t
single day and by a single act, thus immortalized 1
themselves! But, irony aside; was there ever
s.on, in n froo country, such an instanoo of coward- ,
ly dosortion and spaniel-like subserviency ! But -
threo years ago the whole Southern Democracy 1
wero in full cry aftor tho Frcoioilers, whoso very
names wore anatkem;zed, the Union was threaten- c
od if they wero not driven from the faco of tho 1
oarth, and nothiug less than making of them a •
grand auto da so, would satisfy theso Fire-eaters, j
During all this ferment, Dickinson, Bronson and e
the National* stood firmly and manfully by South--
orn Rights, and the adoption of tho Compromise
finally allayed the fears of tho South, and gavo ns
surance that thoir rights would bo respected. A c
President was elected, pledged to sustain the Com- t
promise moasurcs, and to disoountonance Free- 1
soilism. But what have we seen ? This very Pro- 0
sidout taking to his confidence and his bosom, and g
bestowing offices and honors upon the same odious
Frcesoilors; and not content with this, ho bus iin- 8
periou-ly required tho whole Democratic party to n
recognise and acknowledge them as friendß and
brothers—brothers to whom are to be conceded 1
the highest honors and the most elevated seats; {
and when a portion of the Northern Democracy |
demur and protest against this, they are treated a
with contumely, turned out ofdoore, and denounced j
for their “insubordination!’’ Conscious, however, g
of having acted tho part of honest men, and of
Buffering in tho cause of warm-hearted, high- (
minded, ohivalrio friends, they turn with confi- J
dence to the South—to those by whoso side thoy j
had cheerfully stood in their hour of peril. But
what cheoring look or word do they receive J Let j
tho vote upon Mr. Cutting’s resolution answer:
and if tho South would not become a bys-word and (
a hissing in the months of all mankind, let her *
raise tho cry of “ shamo,” “ shame,” “ shame,” "
upon the chicken-hoartcd Gaseous who, on tho
4th of January, basely deserted their friends at tho
bi ding of powor. But, 1 suppose the Southern
Democrats in tho House, following tho exam pie of
Mr. Cobb, withdrew their sympathy for their
Northern friends at the very point where most t
mon’s would bo strongest; namely, wlion they <
had borne all that men could bear patiently, and ■
had determined upon open, manly resistance. So j
long as they would suffer tho President, without .
resistance, to set his foot upon their necks and .
treat them as serfs mid vassa's, they were entitled !
to sympathy; but when they show tho epirit of j
men and iudopendoncc of freemen, tho “ chivalry” I
turn their backs upon them and cut their acquain- <
tance ! If the term, which ithas been thoir pride (
to bear, docs not become a synonym for syco- t
pliancy, mean-spiritedness, and base ingratitude, i
it will be no fault of tho Southern Democracy.
It is due to truth and patriotism to soy, that ovory
Union Republican of the old Whig line, from tho
South, voted for Mr. Cutting’s resolution. This
will show that, with them, tho country is above
party, and they are willing to sustain principles,
lot them come from what quarter they may.

Dr. Alexander Turnbull.
The Charleston Courier announces the arrival
cf this eminent London Ocnlist and Aurist, at the
Mills 1 loess in that city, with apart of his family.
The Courier adds:
This very distinguished Oculist and Aurist has
visited a number of our cities, and lias, wo aro in
formed, perlormed enros on tho Deaf and Dumb
aud Blind, that may well astonish the most in
credulous and sceptical, and con vince them of the
efficacy and success of his practice. We have seeu
notices of these euros in several of our Exchanges
—and wc subjoin one from the N. Orleans Picay
une. The man who discovers a uow remedy for
the disease of tho sight, or of the hearing—ora
new and succcsslu! application of an old remedy,
is a benefactor of his species.
Cure for Blindness, Deafness and Dumbness. —
Dr. Turnbull is the divoovercr of the celebrated
method of raring blindness aud all diseases of tho
eye by means ot prussic acid. There is no doubt
of tlio truth of tho discovery, as also of the Doc
tor’s success in curing the deaf and dumb. The
following extract from the London Times, a journ
al not given to over praising, is one of the many
testimonials from English periodicals of undoubt
ed authority which allow the Doctor full credit for
all that he claims.
A number of scientific gentlemen assembled
yesterday at the house of Dr. Turnbull, in Kussell
iquare, to witness the results produced by a pro
cess recently discovered by the Doctor, and ap
plied for the cure of deainess and blindness.
Between twenty and thirty patients attended,
many of whom, it was stated by their parents, had
boon born deaf and dumb. They were submitted
to various tests, by which it was proved that their
deainess had been cured by the application of Dr.
Turnbull’s remedies; and what appears most
singular is, that whether the disease depended on
paralysis of the auditory nerve, rupture of the
tympanum, or obstruction of the internal passages,
rebel had been immediately obtained, or complete
cure effected without delay, pain or inconvenience.
Several patients, who represented that they had
been completely blind, said that they could now
6ce perfectly well.
Drowsing or Cam. Hubbard —We regret to
learn that Capt. O. Hubbard of the steamer David
1.. Adams, was drowned on Saturday night last,
he having fallen overboard from the ship Arabia,
at “Venus Point.”
Capt. Hubbard was well known in Savannah as
the commander at different times of various boats
plying between this city and Augusta, and was
much esteemed as an efficient and cbliging officer.
He had been in the employ of the Georgia Steam
boat Company, as we are informed, for upwards of
twenty years—a fact which affords sufficient evi
dence of the high estimation placed upon his ser
vices.—sa r. S(p.
Tub Savannah Snct has the following particu
lars of the drowning of Captain Hubbard, on Sun
day morning, between 1 and 2 o’clock :
The Capt. had gone with his steamer on Saturday
afternoon to take off part of the cargo of the ship
Arabi»,ljingat Venus' Point. Having taken a large
quantity of salt, which was on the deck of bis ves
sel. and the weather, threatening rain, he went on
board the Arabia to obtain some tarpaulin with
which to keen the salt from getting wet. When
returning to his own boat he slipped lrom the lad
der by which he was descending.
A rope was instantly thrown to him by the
mate of the Arabia, who wrs stauding in the gang
way of his ship; Captain H. got hold of it- In the
attempt to draw him on board, his hold broke, he
fell back into the water and was drowned.
About two o'clock this morning, an alarm of Are
was given, which was found to proceed from a buil
ding on the West side of the Bay, a few doors
South of TraddStreet, owned by Mr. Jno. McNel
lage, occupied on the first floor, by Jas. B. Gray, as
a Grocery, and otherwise by private families as a
residence.
The fire was found to originate in the cellar, in
which a number of tar barrels had been stowed
away, the cause we have not been able to ascertain
definitely. We learn that there was an insurance
on the building in the Firemen’s Insurance Com
pany for a small amount—but perhaps sufficient to
cover the damages.

-Toe Duel between Me. Soule and the French
Amba-sador.—A due! has taken place between the
Marquis de Turgot, the French Ambassador, and
M. Soule, the American Minister at Madrid, in
which Lord Ilowden acted as second to the Mar
quis de Turgot. It appears that another due) Lad
prciionsly taken place between tho Duke of Alba
and Mr Soule, jnn., sou of the Minister, arising
ont ol tho quarrel to which 1 alluded some time
ago, and which took place at the French Ambassa
dor's bull. It will he remembered that the Duke
of Alba was ovorheard by Mr. Soolo speaking
disparagingly of the dress of Madame Soule,
whom he compared to Mary of Burgundy.
At the time the Duke of Alba declined tho cartel
sent to him by Mr. Soule, on the ground that the
quarrel was a political ouc; but since then he
seems to have reconsidered tqe matter. Tho par
ties fought with small swords. The affair lasted
three quarters of an hour. At length Mr. Soule
fell; when the duke, with the point ot his sword
to his breast, forced his opponent to retreat. It
appears that the dnel between the Marquis de
Turgot and Mr. Soule, bin., originated in the same
affair; bo that the Duke of Alba, by one jokeabout
an American lady’s style of dress, has contrived to
get np two duels.
The Madrid correspondent of tho Loudon Morn
ing Chronicle, writing under date of December
15th, gives the following version of the affair be
tween young Souie and the Duke of Alba, which
will bo found to differ materially from tho fore
going: i
A duel look place yerteiday, at 4 I’. M., nenrtho 1
Pedro, between the Duke of Alba, and Mr. Soule, ,
Junr., son of the United States Envoy at this i
Court. The seconds of the Duke were General J. ■
de la Concha and tho Count of Punonrostro; and i
those of Mr. Soule were Col. Milana del Bosch aud ]
Mr. Perry, Secretary to the American legation. i
The parties fought with swords, but fortunately ■
without either being woundod, (as far as 1 can i
learn,) and it ended in the seconds drawing up a s
uiiuufo of tho proceedings as having been con- j
ducted in a manner satisfactory to tho honor and <
reputation ot both parties. It was also agroed, 1 |
am told, that the letters which havo passed bo- j
tween them should bo mutually withdrawn. s
Wo subjoin our Now York correspondence: ;
New York, Saturday, Jan.771. 1
Private letters were received this morning by
the Canada’s mails from Liverpool, dated tho 24th 1
nit., containing the important information that !
England and France have formally declared war 1
against Kussia, and that in consequence Lord Pal )
nierslon was to have immediately resumed his seat ‘
in the Cabinet as Uome Secretary. This news has J
had a favorable effect among business men. Flour *
immediately advanced 6% cent-, wheat 2 to 3 l .
cents, and corn Ito 2 ceuts, closing with an up- 1
ward tendency.
Telegraphic accounts received ill this city this *
morning, from Halifax, sta'e that not a single pas- I
senger by tho Packet Ship Staffordshire, wrecked 1
olfliulifax, was saved. Capt. Richardson had been 11
sick several days previous to the disaster, and was j
confined to his berth at the time of tho misfortune,
it is also positively and undeniably assorted that 1
when the ship struck, the First Male stood at the J
gangway, with a pistol in his hand, and throaton- 1
cd to shoot any one who dared to get into the boats I
—though they were not more than hall full. As is
to be expected, the report has excited deep indig- r
nation. a
Our English paper*, received by this arrival,
contain nothing that lias not in stibstar.ee, been
anticipated by our telegraphic dispatches. They
confirm the statement that the main body of the
Turkish forces had retired from Kalat'ut across the
Danube to Widdin, but contradict tho report of a
sanguinary action at tbo former f.laee.

The Augusta Bridge.
We copy tho following sensible end indepen
dent article from the Charleston Courier of yester
day :
Wo observe some well meant efforts to palliate
the late action of the Legislature, and to persuade
onr neighbors of Augusta that what has been done
is in tho spirit of good neighborhood. But we
doubt whether such language is calculated to sooth
tho3C who arc smarting under tho sense ol wrong
—for it may bo mistaken for an aet of deception.
Neither have we tbo consolation of thinking that
the crroi arose from mistake or misapprehension.
Every body know that the city of Augusta had
bought and paid for tho Bridge, and owned tho
land on both sides of tho river. They oi.ee had a
charter from the Sta c. In 1845 the State recog
nised their right as owners, attertheir charter was
at an end, by proposing n vu'uaiion and a payment
to bo madeforit. In IS4B they recognised them
as tho owners in possession, and Henry Shultz as
a litigaut for the property, and granted him a char
ter on condition that the suit should be decided
in his favor.
The suit was decided >n 1850 against him, in the
Supreme Court. It had been twice already decided
tho same way in thlsStato. After all thia thore
could bo no surprise. And it is in these circum
stances that the Legislature have assumed the
power of taking away the Bridge from tho party
who recovered it, and giving it to tho losing
party. This is done upon the nssnniption that nil
the litigation was vain; that the Bridge belonged
neither to Phuntifl nor Defendant, but bus all
along been the property of the State.
Questions of right and of policy are involved. It
is a novel right that is asserted, of taking from a
man tho bridge, which ho has built upon his own
land, and giving it to another. But hulftho Bridge
is in the State of Georgia, and, without an actual
invasion, South Carolina can take away from tho
cwnors no more than one cud of this bridge.
If the State can take away half of the bridge, was
it policy to do so ? You cannot exclude tho city of
Augusta from taking all the toll at the other end.
The city is safe under the protection of tho State
of Georgia. Ail that this South Carolina Act does,
is to burthen the public with double tolls, not lor
a public object but for private favor.
The most deplorable part of the matter is that
the State has put itself in the wrong. Even il the
power of taking away a man’s bridge, without
compensation, and giving it to another, should be
sustained by our Judiciary, the judgment would
never be respected elsewhere. And if there l.ad
boon u pernicious usage of the kin 1 in our own
rivers, the precedents would fail in its application
to a bridgo over the Savannah River, which belongs
equally to two States. But, uufortunately, it is
precisely in this cßse of the Savannah Eiver where
the attempt is impotent, that this new prerogative
is to be first tried.
They who pessedthe Act may not have thought
that it was unjust. They must have supposed
that they had the power, though they know that
the power was disputed. The saving of the right
of other persons shows that they acted upon a
venture, whether they possessed the power or not.
Bat how any set of sensible men could for a mo
ment suppose that it was pviitic, if they had the
power, to exercise it in this wuy, and throw out a
provocation sgaiust the people of Augusta, with
out cause of oflouce, and burthen the intercourse
between Georgia and South Carolina with double
tolls, for tho private benefit of individuals who
had no c'aitn of right, is wonderful; or only to be
accounted lor by the fact disclosed by the last cen
sus, that among thr constituents of that Legislature
education is in a very backward condition.

The “Hard” Movement in Cungre -.—The fol
lowing resolutions have been introduced iu the
House, by Mr. Cutting of New York:
Whereas, publications have appeared in the
public prints purporting to be copies of a corres
pondence botween the Secretary of the Treasury
and Greene C. Bronson, the late collector of the
customs for the port of New Y’ork, relating to “the
subject of the uifi rtunate division in the democratic
f arts in Hew ’ Tort," the distribution of offices,
“among the deferent sections of the party,'' and in
which, after referring “to that portion of the party
which Mr. Dronson ad ha td the Secretary of
the Trcasu-y expressed an expectation that the
collector would “recognise the other porlie n of the
pirty," in the “ onlyuay that would carry conviction
with it," which publications consist of alleged let
ters from the Secretary of the Treasury to the
collector aforesaid, bearing date respectively the
third, fourth, and twenty-second days of October
last, and of letters from the latter to the former,
bearing date the seventeenth and twenty-first days
of October last.
And tcharters, in the newspaper called “ the
Daily Union,” of Wednesday, the 2sth of Decem
ber last, it is stated “by authority ” that the re
moval of Bronson was the act of the. President,
who “freely shoulders ths entire responsibility,
and jaatifles his act, not merely upon the ground of
alleged official insubordination, but upon the
further distinct ground, that the late collector had
“prostituted his office for political ends, and other
wise abused his official trust for party purposes,”

Fibxki.v Office, May 27th, ISSB.
bra:—As a great misconception appears to pre
vail, not only amonv the pecple of the United
States, but al-o among persons placed in high aud
responsible situations in the government of that
couctiy, with regard to the truo nature of the en
gagements into which Great Britain entered by
the Convention of Washington,of April lath, 1850,
w.th respect to her present and future relations
with Misquito, and the other nations ot Central
America; and a.- that misconception, if not imme
diately corrected, might lead to "serious misunder
standing between Great Britain and tho United
States, 1 think it highly desirable tba’, that ques
tian should, without delay, bo pnt upon its right
footing, by a clear and distinct explanation of The
views which Her Majesty’s government take of it
aud of the conduct which they intend to pursue
with regard to it.
Article 1 of the Treaty which treats of this mat
ter, runs thus:
“The Governments of Great Britain and the
Ur.itc i States hereby deelures that neither the one
nor the other w ill ever obtain or maintain for itself
any exdusiveeontro! of the said Ship Canal; egree
ing that neither will ever erect or maintain any
fortifications commanding the some, or in the vi
cinity thereof, cr occupy, or fortify,or colonise,or
as-utne, or exercise any dominion over Nicaragua,
Costa Rica or the Mosquito Coast, or any part of
Central America, nor will either make use of an’
protection which either afford-, or may afford, or
any alliance which cither has or may have to or
with any State or people, for the per; ose of erect
ing or maintaining any such tonifcoutions, or of
oeoepyingor fortifying or colouizbig Nicaragua,
Costa Rica, or the Mosquito Coast, or any part of I
Central America, or of assuming orexoie.sing do 1
minion over the same.”
To every stipuitation contained in this artic'a
her Mt-io.-.ty’s Government will faithfully mdhere.
They will neither seek to obtain any exclusive
control over the ship canal, if ever formed, nor
will they erect any fortification commanding, or in
the vicinity or that canal; corV.air--y-t?evip.v or
fortify or colonize, or assume or exorcise any do
minion over any part of Central America Nor
will they make u-e of any protection which they
afford or may affird, or any alliance which they
havo cr mey have to or with any Sta'e or people,
for the purpose of occupying, fortifying or colotii
zhig any part of Central America, or of asserting or
exorcising dominion over the seme. All: htrse en
gagements Great Britain will religiously keep, as
she docs not doubt that they will lie religiously
kept by the United States. Bat Great Britain has
nowhere, in tho treaty of April, ISSO, renounced,
norever had any intention to renounce, the full
and absolute right which she possesses over her
own lawful territories in Central America, such as
that designation was distinctly understood and
declared by tho negotiators of tho treuty; nor has
Great Britain renounced, by the treaty, the protec
tion which she lias lor centuries ps.it afforded and
still affords to tho MusquitoTerritory, with a view
to r Have the question of tho Musquito Territory,
or whatever time may be of indefinite about it,
and pit e it upon a clear and stable footing, which
will bo equally advantageous to Musquito itself
and to all the powers which are in anyway con
nected with or concerned in it. Her Majesty's
Government havo already, on many occasions,
within the last twelve months, mado overtures of
the fairest and most liberal and practicable char
acter to the United States government to go hand
in hand with tho government of Great Britain, in
devising and establishing a scheme of adjustment
by Y/hich the affairs of Central America, Mosquito
included, shall bo satisfactorily and permanently
settled, aud the honor of Great Britain, as tho an
cient protector of Mo. quito, sLall bo preserved
intact.
Her Majesty’s government are still ready and
desirous, ut any moment, to enter into a friendly
commkuication with the United States govern
ment, on this important matter, aid they ore of
opinion that the soonersach negotiation is oponed
and terminated tho better it will bo for all the
parties concerned, and the greater will be the
security for the maintenance of the friendly rela
tions which now so happily subsist between Great
Britain ut:d the United (States. But, until such
settlement bo finally concluded, it ia obvious that
Great Britain cannot abandon her present position
with regard to Mosquito, nor can she permit either
Nicaraguaor Honduras to assert, and still less to
attempt to establish by force of arms, over any
part ol Mosquito, a light of possession, which
Great Britain has always denied and still denies.
And it' cithor Nicaragua or Honduras were etiil to
continue to make aggressions on the Mosquito
territory with that objeot, it must be at their own
peril.
Such are the views which Her Majesty’s govern
ment entertain with respect !o Central America as
affected by the treaty of Washington of the 19th
of April, 1850, and such is the courso of conduct
which Her Majesty’s government propose to pur
sue with respect to that country, and to the various
questions which have arisen, or may arise under
thetreaty. 1 will, however, add that Her Majesty’s
government have no intention of disturbing or
departing in any way from the arrangement enter
ed into between tho two governments for the main
tenance of the do facto government and position of
Greytown. You will road this despatch to the
United Sta’.os Secretary of B.lute, and you will ut
the same time repeat to him tho earnest desire
which is felt by Her Majesty’sg'vernment to pro
ceed through tho whole of this natter cordially und
in tho most unreserved manner with tho govern
ment of the United States.
I am with great truth and regard, sir, your most
obedient, humbio Bervant.

To J. F. Crampton, Esq., <fce., <Ste.
Doctor's Commons, April loth, 1858.
My Lord:—l am honored with ynr Lordship’s
cm.*ragnd-• f.ign’fl'Ml in Mi. Addington's letter of
the 7th instant, stating that ha was directed to
transmit to mo a dispatch from Mr. Crampton, Her
Majesty’s Minister, at Washington, enclosing a
rep'ort of a speech made in tho Senate of tho U.
States by Mr. Clayton, by whom, when Secretary
of State for the United States, the treaty for the
construction of an inter ocaai ieshipcamil between
the Atlantic and I'aeifie oceans, across tho Isthmus
of Nicaragua, was signed with Sir Henry Bulwer,
at that time her Majesty’s Minister at Washing
ton, aud with reference to the construction pul
by Mr. Clayton upon the first act of that treaty,
namely, that Great Britain is thereby pr< hibited
from protecting by force of arms any Slate in Cen
tral America, notwithstanding any alliance be
tween Her Majesty aud eiikor of those States.
Mr. Addington is plecsodto request that I would
report to your Lordship my opinion upon the in
terpretation given by Mr. Clayton to tho provisions
of that article.
In obedience to your Lordship’s commands, 1
have taken the matter intocoa ideratioo, arid have
the honor to report that I am of opinion that the
interpretation given by llr. Clayton to the provi
sions of tho Ist arlielo of tho enclosed Treaty Con
vention, signed at Washington, April 19th, 185 b,
is in some, respects incorrect. His statement that
Great Britain cannot place an armed soldier in tho
territory without violuting the treaty, is, in my
opinion, incorrect, and I can seo nothing in tho
treaty which affords any foundation or color for
such a statement. The first ar icle expressly re
cognizes the fact that Great Britain has and may
have alliances with, and affords and may afford
protection to Slates and people in Central" Ameri
ca, and only stipulates that mi,her shall bo made
uso of for the particular piurpoees therein forbid
den, and the maxim of construction, “ Kxpnssio,
Unit excelsio alterias," applioa to this article.
Great Britain therefore may, in my opinion, pro
tect any State or people, including Indian tribes,
in Central Ameriec, even by force of arms, if
needful, without violating tho treaty, provided on
ly that she, in affording euch protection, wholly
abstains from occupying, fortifying, colonizing, or
a: sumiug, or exercising any dominion beyond her
own territory, in Central America. Neither does
there appear to bo anything in 11 c treaty which
would provent Great. Britain f rom sending a fleet
or army, if necessary, into any part of Central
America, or lrom constructing liny naval or mili
tary operations, oithor alono or in alliance with
any other nations or States in any part of Central
America. Sho may certainly do so, if she abstains
from occupying or fortifying, or assuming or ex
ercising dominion therein, beyond her own terri
ritory.
T-iOie is not in the treaty any stipulation, for in
stance, that Great Britain shall abstain from pre
venting, by force of aims, other nations from oc
cupying or fortifying, or assuming dominion over,
any portion of Central America, or that sho shall
not destroy such fortifications, or subvert such

TRADE AND BUBINKBB.-The weather during the week
has been very inciem< nt, quite unfavorable for business,
and tlio transactions have only been to a moderate ex
tent. Tire extreme tightness of the money market, of which
there is a very general complaint, has also had Us influ
ence upon the tradr and business of the week.
GROCERIES.—The stocks of Groceries are very com
plete and the operatioDS in the matket, though not large,
are satisfactory. Coffee continues to be held firm and
prices are tending upward. In the other leading articles
we note no change. Salt is still very scarce and prices ar.
very firm.
PROVISIONS.—'The operations in Bacon have been
limited, and as the stock is on the increase, prices have
given way slightly. The demand is limited, and, as the
impression is very general that prices must still further de
cline, there is little disposition to operate beyond immedi
ate wants. Flour continues in aetive demand and pi Ices
are well sustained.
GIUI.V—The increased supply of Corn has reduced
prices and we now quote 70®75o.—rather heavy. Wheat
finds ready sale at our quotations.
FEATHERS are ill demand and command 43®45c.
EXCHANGE.—The Banks continue to surply Checks on
the North % y cent, prera. I
FItEIOUTS continues unchanged. The river is in fine 1
navigable condition.
