Col. Clement—The I'resMeM- Sehrwha Btll.
Thi subjoined letter, from Ex-Senator Climxnb,
of Aia., which sppeered « few days since in the
HnntsviHe Aiv/oate, will attract the attention of
Southern readers, generally ; affording as it does,
tte ri-.o to the Pree-ident’s support of the Nebras
ka Bi’l. Col. Clemen- is a Democrat, a zealous
supporter of the administration, and an opponent
ot the Nebraska Kill, and in giving the reaaons for
Ids opposition to the bill, gives also the opinions of
President Pixucx, in relation to the measure.—
One of the objections of Ur. C. to the bill, thsl in
* relation to unuatnra!ized Foreigners being permit
c J to vote, lise l>eeii rmnored by sn amendment,
and none but citizens of the United States can
vote, under the bill as it finally passed the Senate.
In reference to another objection, that of squatter
sovereignty, it is needless to say, the Southern
supporter 1 of the bill do not believe it confers any
aucii power.
In giving the views of the President, Mr. C.
uses the following deoil ;d language, which U
worthy of remark:
“ ‘But a few days sines,’ says Mr. Clemens, ‘in
a conversation with a Northern Senator and my
self, be [President Pierce] gave it ts lie decided
opinion mat Douglass’ b'll was a proposition‘in
favor of freedom’—and added that if it ahonld
pan, although we might absorb the whole of Mexi
co, ho! aro’! tier slave,State would ever come into the
• Union. lie repressed great surprise at the opposition
it nut will from the Sortk, and equal surprise that
the fi’ i.h stu/uldbe witling to take \t. I agreed whh
him fully, and could uot help recurring to the
stratagein by which the Greeks effected the de
struction of Troy.’ These declarations of Presi
dent Pierce, according to Mr. Clemens, were not
msde to him alone, but in the presence and hear
ing of himself and ‘a Northern Senator.’ We for
bear comment until itehall appear whether Pret-i
dent Picrco admits or den ice the accaracy of Mr.
Clemens' statement.”
Washington, Feb. 25, 1854.
Mr DeakHir:—l have roocivod your letter, in
which you say that some of my friends are sur
prised at tho position I have assumed upon the
Nebraska question, and desire to be made ac
quainted with the grounds upon which my oppo
sition was Oased.
I had determined not to be forced into the politi
cs! arena by anything an c erny might tay, but
that rule his no implication to tho misapprehen
sion of friends. I am opposed to the bill of Mr.
Douglas because it is supported upon the avowed
ground, that the people of a Territory, while it rc
mains a Territory, rnay regulate the subject of
slavery for themselves. This, yon will remember
was the doctrine of Gen. Cass’s Nicholson letter,
which was repudiated by the entire Booth in 1648.
The Wings charged it upon hi in as a political of
fence, and the'Democrats evading the issue by
placing » different construction upon the letter.—
Subsequently, at the session of 164»-’SO, when
Gen. Cass avowed that the Noflbern construction
of his letter was the correct one, it was at once
disclaimed by the whole body of Bontborn Bona
tors, including tho present Secretary of War.—
Judge Douglass, in alluding to the letter, stated
that the doubts ciitcrtaiued by the then Senator
from Mississippi (Col. Davis) had caused him to
be lukewarm in ms support of Gen. Cass. Col.
Davis instantly replied : ”1 had doubts, fears and
apprehensions, wnich rcaohed to a conviction that
the Hcuatwr, (Gen. Cass,) was wrong upon tho
question of the power of the Territorial inhabi
tants; yet sir, I took him us a choice of evils. I
say it in no terms of disrespect. The Senator
from Mijliigsn knows I thought it was a wrong
doctrine,” <fee. Col. Davis was warmly sustained
by Judge Butler ; and Col. King emphatically de
clared ihu he never did, and never could, sub
scribe to the doctrine held by Gen. Cass. There
was no di-agrcouieut thn*. 1 am aware of among ns
—all held that it vs- a dangerous doctrine, and
one which an e/f'cciually excluded us fromthoTor
rltories os the Wdmot Proviso ifielf. Let tneadd
that such is the opinion now ontortuined by tho
President of tho Unitod States himself. Bat a few
days since, in conversation with a Northern Bena
tor and tnymlf, ho gave it us his decided opinion,
that Dongla- s’ bill was ‘‘a proposition in favor of
freedom’’—and added, that if it should pass, al
though wc might ulworb the wholo of Mexico, not
another slave Stale would over eomo into tho
Union. He expressed great surprise at the oppo
sition it met with from the North, and equal sur
iirlne that the South should be willing to take it.
agreed with him folly, and could not help recur
ring to i lie stratagem by which tho Greuks effected
the destruction of Tr<-y.
The only quotation Mr. Calhoun was ever known
to make, was, “ timeo Itanaos, el donaferentee ,”
ond if over there was a time whon it should be
repoatod ns a warning to the South, it is tho pre
sent. A Northern man, unasked and solioitod,
brlugs forward a proposition professedly for our
buuortt, but in reality, an inviduous attempt lo
s'cai away from ns all the fruits of our former trials
ami struggles. The Citadel which has resisted
every open it isoult, is about to bo destroyed by
the foolish confidence of its defenders in a dolu
slvo gift, which only servos to convoy the enony
' within ’ho wulls.
In 1850, tho doctrine of tho South was “lot us
alone.” V>'« asked nothing from Congress—we
wanted nothing—tho cmp.iulio language of Judge
Bullor was heartily responded lo everywhere—
“all wo ask is, that you will keep your hands off
Wc wn.t no extension. Lot ub alone. This is all
WO usk.”
I hold to that doctrine yet ; and that is tho sub
atanco ot my luto letter to Mr. Vnn Buren, about
whinli so much has boon said, but which no ono
has yet. atteinnted to analyst) and refute.
1 have oilier objections to Mr. Douglass’ hill
which are iiiHuperuhlo of themselves. It provides
that it foreigner who has morely declared hie inten
tion to become a oitiz m, slia’l bo vosted with tho
right ot voting, and thus place it in tho power of
foreign paupt rs anil criminals to deprive an Ameri
can citizen of his property, or drivo him from tho
Territory with ids slaves." I do uot spoak for any
Man's constituents. Tliero may bo communities
who will sustain their representatives in this great
outrogo upon their rights, but if tliero be I pity tho
doluMon under which tlicyarc laboring.
The Bill statos in substance that tbocompromise
. of 1820, was ropoalodby the compromise of 1860.
Now this is eitner true or it is uot. If true, whore
Is the necessity of repealing it over again. It is
an anomaly in legislation to repeal a statuto which
in ilroady repealed. W lint end can bo attained ex
cept tliatof placing a d ugerous woaponio tho hands
of N irtberu Agitators. It gives them an opportu
City to doooive the ignorant nnd unthinking hy
representing tho South as faithless—by assorting
that wo sclssod tho first moment of power to repoa!
» solemn compact, and that no roliance can be
plated upon any compromise we may make.
They will as-iort that ono compromise is no moro
snore 1 than another, that as wo huvo repealed the
Missouri restriction, they may and ought to repeal
the fugitive sluvo bill, and thus will bo rovivod
that dangerous agitation which all good men
hoped, was happily at an end. I know the oom
inon answer to this view of the subjoct, but it is a
false one, and if it should impose upon our
pooplo, It will not upon the Noitli. Wo arc
told that Northern men violated the compro
mise of 1820, and wo ure no longer bound by it,
This is u niiNOoncoption. The Missouri compro
mise appliod lo the Territory of Louisiana, and to
that alone. Thore was no provision that it should
bo extended to any other territory. The contract
was cmplote, ami bound neither party in relation
to territory thereafter to be a quired. So far as
that compromise was ooncernod wo might, with
out any violation of its prov' ions, have carried
alavory into new territory as high us tho 49th
parallel ot latitude, if wo had tho power, lor they
might have excluded it as low ns tho Equator, if
wc would submit. In 1860 wo proposed a new
oouiprommo—that is, to run tho lino to tho Pacific.
Thin was morely an oxtonsion of tlio old contract
to which thov could ngroo or d'sagroo without any
breach of faith. They rejected it, but this refusal
to enter into a now ariangemout ounnot justify us
lu violating tho first. 1 uiontion this, howovor,
merely to sli jw tho viow which will be taken
of the subject North, and do not care to elabo
rate it.
I have said that if tho Legislation oflß6o did, in
point of foot supersede tho legislation of 1820, then
tho insertion ot such a provision In the bill was not
only unnecessary but inisohovious. If it is not true,
then the bill ought not to pass bocauso it bears a
falsehood upon its foeo.
Tho value ot any compromise depends upon its
finality. If when ono party has tho power it may
repoal tho part which is distastelbl to them—when
the other party inis t he strength why may thoy not
also repeal that part which is disegreeablo to
themselves, and tiius the whole compact, will bo
abrogatod, and all hope of a now ono dostroyed by
tho knowlo Igo that neither dan roly upon tho
good faith oft ho other. 1 hold it to boa good rulo
that wo ought to ho very careful how wo make
compacts, hut onco mado to abide by them firmly,
ftnrly aud honestly.
This let’er lias been writ’en in haste, and amid
constant interruptions, but 1 hope 1 lie e furnish
ed you with sufficient reasons to justify my course.
Os ono thing i need not assure you, aud that is
whether right or wrong, l am iufluenood by nono
but honest motives—seeking nothing, asking
nothing, confining myself exclusively to profes
sional duties, l am at least free from the tempta
tions which ho often beset tho politician, and less
liable to error except such as may arise from a do
foot of judgment.

Tins greatest error committed by publishers in
Georgia, is in not being paid for what they do; their
annual losses by the credit system, would be a
handsome profit to them, if they would require
payment ia advance for subscription. Perhaps
they may yc. learn wisdom from experience—that
it ia better to have one paging eubscriber, than five
who do not pay—or two who require to bo called
on to obtain payment. If they will only adopt,
and rigidly enforce the cash system, their position
would vory soon be chauged. They have the pow

to apply the remedy.

AS|UU Auxllltary Bible Society.
Tax Thirty-seventh Anniversary ot this venera
ble and most useful association, waa celebrated in
the Methodist Church, on Sabbath evening the
19th insl., in the presence of a large and deeply
intereeted assembly. We had the pleasure of be
ing present on the occasion, and we can truly say,
that we have never attended auy similar meeting,
from which we derived more gratification.
The exercises were opened with Prayer, by Kev.
J. E. Evans, after which he read the 85th Chapter
of Isaiah.
The Annual Report of the Board of Managers
was then presented by Jesse A. Anslxt, Esq., and
after being read waa ananimousiy adopted.
This able and interesting report glanoed at the
operation of the Brilieh and Foreign Bible Soc ety,
and the American Bible Society, and showed the
benign influence exerted on many of the nations
of the earth by these noble institutions.
After briefly noticing several of the Anxilliery
Societies of onrown State, the report gave in de
tail, the history of our own operations lor the pest
year. 11 appears that the receipts for the peat year
were $849.50; and thore hare been spett in sup
plying our own county and the counties of Rabun,
Union, Elbert, Dade, Forsyth, Lumpkin, Newton.
Franklin and Walton, with the word of life,
$926.00.
Embodied in the report, was a letter from our
Agent, Rev. G. J. Pearce, giving an account olthe
alarming destitution of many of the counties of
Georgia, and catling loudly upon oar Society to
doable our efforts in supplying such destitute re
gions with the word of God.
After the reading of tho Report, very able and
eloquent addressee were delivered by Rev. A. H.
Dumont and Dr. 8. D. Ward, President of the
Society.
We cannot in this brief notice, give even a sy
nopsis of their speeches. We only regret that
every citizen of oar State waa not present, to listen
to their touching and earnest appeals.
After the addresses, the Choir sang the Doxolo
gy in Peculiar metre , and the benediction having
been pronounced by Rev. Charles B. Kino, the
Congregation was dismissed.
Washington Correspondence.
Washington, March 16,1854.
Every day brings new evidence of the weakness
of the present administration, and the great blun
ders which Gan. Pierce committed in the selec
tion of his cabinet.
There waa nothing to which he was so much in
debted for his election as the strong national sen
timent in favor of the principles of the adjustment
of the elavery question in Congress, by the acts of
1850. This sentiment he entirely iguored, even
before he took the oath of office. For, although in
his inaugural, he gave assurance of strong person
al devotion to those measure, yet in tho selection
of those counsellors he bronght about him, he
roomed careful to have eschewed sli the men who
were in any way identified with their Biipport or
maintenance. The enemies of the compromise
wero thus put into power, not only to the exclu
sion of its friends, bnt oven over their head.
The effects of this unwise snd nnstatesinan-like
policy, were wit leased in New York at the last fall
election. The great party which brought him into
power, was in that state completely demoralized.
Tho same may bo said of New England, and meet
of tho Northern States. Before the inauguration
of Gen. Ptoroe, tho freesoil party was completely
dead and defunct. Ilis policy .revived and re-an
imated it, aud strango to say, he aud his cabinet
still persist in the same reckless policy, while they
profess to be in favor of the Nebraska Bill. Well
may the advocates of those measures say, “save us
from auch friends.”
The fate of tho bill in the House is still in doubt.
So long os its open enemies bask under the genial
influence of executive fuvor, aud ate recognized at
the White House as good democrats, notwithstand
ing they occupy tho same position on this great
and paramount question, as Seward, Giddings and
Garrison, thoro is no forming even a probable con
jecture as to the ultimate result. Its enemies aro
exceedingly active; all sorts of rumors and false
hoods are put in circulation to mislead tho public
mind. The other day it was announced that Mr.
Bronson bad written a letter denouncing the bill,
and that Mr. O’Connor bud done the same tiling;
the truth tamed out to bo that Judge Bronson and
Mr. O’Connor’bad both written very decided letters
in fuvor of it. Mr. Cutting to-day, in a private in
terview with.some Southern gentlemen, to whom
bo was showing Judgo Bronson’s bold and patriot
ic letter to him, remarked with acme point and
emphasis, “that is a man who was deemed un
worthy by this administration to hold office under
it.” Thero was much meuning iu the words, and in
that meauing the administration may read not only
their discomfiture iu New York last fall, but many
similar discomfitures which await them in future
If the news which has reached here to day from
New Hampshire be trno, that the Whigs and Free
Soilors oombined, have carried the two branches
of the Legislature, it may be understood in the
same way. Nebraska is much stronger in Now
Hampshire than the administration. Mr. Burke
was ono of tho first and boldest advocates of the
bill; but what encouragement had he in lending
an assisting hand iu briuging into power the
party which in its dispensation of publio pa
tronago, waa to make no difference botween him
and his friends and the vilest abolitionist.
Your Legislature was right in declaring that no
party Bhould be recognized as sound in this coun
try, wbieh does uot exclude fretn its organization
the enemies of the constitutional rights of any
section of it. When this sentiment bccomos ua
tional, and a party aball be formed npon it, aB it
will be, then, and not till then, will Freosoilism
and Abolitionism be exterminated. It is worse
than idle for the South to rely upon tho Adminis
tration of Mr. Pierce to vindicate their rights, or to
carry out tho Compromise of 1850, bo long as he
upholds, fosters, and feeds from the public treasury
their worst enemies. But enough of thiß for the
present.
Mr. Brooks, from S. C., in the Uouso, r yesterday,
delivered a very improssive speecli iu favor of the
Nebraska bill. Mr. Brooks, as lam correctly in
formed, was opposed to violent measures on the
part of South Carolina in the late agitation there.
Ho commanded the general attention of the House,
which is highly creditable to a now tnomber.
Tho message of the Proßident upon onr Cuba
difficulties, was sent in yesterday. The subject is
exciting a good deal of interest hero now; the
general opinion seoms to be that no hostilities will
ensno between this government and Spain, in con
soquonce of the Black Warrior affair. But thiß
indiscretion ou the part of the authorities of Cuba,
is indicative of that state of foeliDg thore towards
tho Unitod States, which may lead to something
moro serious hereafter. It is to be hoped, how
ever, that thoy will bo severely rebuked by thoir
own government, and taught better manners and
more wisdom in futnre. Colxthorfk.

Cloalag (he Savannah Mall.
Mu. Editor:— Will you ploaso call tho attention
of the Postmaster to tho necessity and reasonable
ness of a change in tho hoar for closing the Mail
for Savannah. Some ten days have elapsed since
tho honr of departure of the mail-train on the
Waynesboro’ Rui.rood was fixed at 7% P. M.
W o know that the labors of this office, as one for
general distribution are very onerous, and therefore
say we not one word about tho dosing the West
ern Mail at 8 P. M., three hours before it leaves,
as tho oxcitse given is, that the opening and dis
tributing the Northern Mail from 4 to 8 o’clock,
renders it nooessary, bnt after all this is over, and
the office closed even to those who pay for Key
Boxes, there still remains one honr and a half be
fore the oars leave for Savannah. A general order
from the Department exists whieh fffrbids any
mail to be closed (with some few exceptions) more
than one hour before its departure.
To close the Mail theielore, for Savannah here
after at 8 P. M., will prevent much justifiable
grumbling, from Mant Citizens.

Closing the BnTannah Mails.
M». Editor: “Many Citizens,” (whoso eamnm
uioatiou in reference to the cloisng of the Savannah
Mail, appeared in your paper of thel9lh inst.,) was
not aware, perhaps, that the schedule time for deli
vering that mail to the Contractoris S){o’clock, and
not T% o’clock, P. M. The author, and those rep
resented by him, oan ask of us, as n favor, to close
tho Savannah Mail at 6 o’clock P. M. Neither he
nor they can demand it as a right. With insuffi
cient force, not remediable at present, it would
impose much additional labor upon those connected
with this offioe, to close that mail at 6 o’clock P-
M. The matter is nuder consideration, and we are
disposed to do everything in our power for the
accommodation of the public. Should it be proper
to close it at that hour, a change will be made and
the fact announced.

about ore thousand dollars per mile, or two mil

friend to the youth and unwary of our State, I ex
press my grateful acknowledgments to the Legis

George Btap!eton, for their bold and manly course
in the introduction and passage of the bill. Iu
tho Senate, when it was introduced, it encounter
ed little or no opposition; bnt in the House of
Representatives, it inevitably would have been
lost, bnt for the attention and pertinent remarks of
Stapleton. He appealed in feeling terms to the
father, the brother and the friend of the rising
youth of our country, to pass the bUl—sa a pro

Napoleon'. Speech.
We have already published a telegraphic ab
j ?tract of the following speech of the Emperor to
! the Legislature. The manifesto is, however, of so
1 much interest at the present junction that we give
it in foil. The Emperor opened the session in
person aEd said:
MM. Us Si' aieura, MM. Us Deputes,
Since your last session two questions, you ere
aware, have occupied the attention of the c.untry
—'.no insufficiency of the lest harvest, and ex
ternal difficulties. But these two questions I
ha-ten to inform you, already occasion much less
{ tear, because, in spile of their serious character,
j rve can ascertain their extent and limits. The
| ecirc.ty of the harvest hss been estimated at about
! 10 millions of hecUililree of grain, representing an
| amount of nearly 300 millions of francs, and the
| lading of 4000 vessels. C.-u!d ti.c Government
i undertake to purchase these 10 miliious of hecio
litres on all poiuts of the globe, aud eome and sell
| them afterwards in all the markets of France ?
| Experience and prudence showed that eneta a
measure would have been attended with almost
insurmountable embarrassment, and inconvenience
and dangers without number. Commerce alone
posses-to financial and material means for so great
an operation.
Ti.e Government has, therefore, done ths only
thing practicable; it has encouraged tho liherty of
private operations by freeing the corn trade from
all obstacle. The high price of an article so neces
sary lor the general subsistence is, no doubt, a
calamity; but it was not possible, or even de.-iru
b!e, entirely to evade it. For if the price of corn
Lad been lower in France than in neighboring
countries, foreign markets would have been supi
plied at the exponse of curs. This state of things
must nevertheless Lava produced a state of uneasi
ness wnich could only bo combated by activity of
labor, or by public charity. The Government
therefore endeavored to open, from the commence
ment of the year, crodits which, exceeding by
some millions only the resources cf the budget,
will, with tho co-operation of the communes and
companies, give rise to a mass of work, estimated
at nearly 400,000,000, without counting tho 2,000,-
000 applied by the Minister of the Interior to
beoeficic-nt establishments.
At the same time the general and municipal
councils and private charity made the most praise
worthy sacrifices to alleviate the sufferings of the
poorer classes. 1 recommend particularly to your
attention tho system adopted by the city of Baris,
tor |f it bo extended, as 1 hope, throughout France,
it will henceforth prevent, in respect to the value of
corn those extreme variations, which, in times of
abundance, cause agriculture to languish, in con
sequence of the low price of corn, and in limes of
scarcity occasion sufferings to tho poorer classes
by an cxcessivo dearness. That system consists
in creating, in all the groat centres of the popula
tion, an institution of credit known as tho Baker’s
Bank, (la Caiase de Moulanj/eric) which may give,
during the months of a bad year, bread at a price
much less than the ordinary averages, on the con
dition of pajing a little dearer in years of abun
dance. These last being in general more nnmer
ons, it is understood that the compensation can bo
effected easily. Tho immense advantage is also
obtained offounding companies, which, iu place of
gaining in proportion as broad is dearer, are inter
ested, as ail arc, in its becoming cheap; inuimueh
as, contrary to what is tho case at the present mo
ment, they wiil obtain profits in seasons of plenty,
and loss in those of scarcity.
1 aru now happy to auounce to you that 7,000,-
000 of hectolitres of foreign wheat have been al
ready delivered for consumption, independent of
the quantity on its way and in bond, and that thus
tho most difficult period of the crisis ie past
There is one remarkable fact which has deeply af
fected me. During this severe winter not an ac
cusation has boon made against the Government,
and the people have endured sufferings with resig
nation which they were so just as to attribute to
circumstances alone a new proof of their confi
dence in me, and of their conviction that their wel
fare is, above all, the object of my constunt atten
tion. But, scarcity hardly at ond, war commences.
1 promised in my opening speech lost year to
make evory effort to muintain peace, and to rc as
sure Europe. I have kept my word. I havo, in
order to avoid a contact, gono ns far as honor could
permit me. Europe now knows, and has no doubt
of the fact, that if France draws the sword it is be
cause she has been compelled to do so. It knows
that Franco has no idea of aggrandisement; nnd
that she only wishes to resist dangerous encroach
ments ; and for that reason I desire to proclaim
loudly that tho period for conquest is past, never
to return ; for it is not by extending the limits of
its territory that a nation can henceforth be honor
ed and powerful; it is by placing herself at the
head ofgoncrous ideas, and by establishing every
where the empire of law and justice. Thus you
see the result of a policy devoid of selfishness and
reservation.
Behold England, that ancient rival, which is
evory day drawing closer the bonds of a more inti
mate aliiunco, because the principles which we de
fend are at tho same time those of the English peo
ple. Germany, which tho recollection of old wars
rend'rs mistrustful, and which, foi that reason
gave for the last 40ycais, perhaps, too many proofs
of deference to the DOiicy of the Cabinet of St. Pe
tersburg, has already recovered her independence
of action, and looks freely to which side her inte
rests are to be found. Austria, particularly, which
cannot see with indifference the events which arc
preparing, will enter into our alliance, and wi 1
thus confirm the character of morality and of jus
tice of the war which wo are about to undertake.
Tho state of tho question is precisely this: —
Europe occupied with internal struggles since 40
years, reassured, moreover, by the moderate tone
of the Emperor Alexander, in 1815, as by that of
his successor, down to tho present day, appeared
not to be awaro of tho danger that might menace
it on the part of tho colossal power which, by its
successive invasions, embraces tho North and the
centre, which almost exclusively possesses two
inland seas, from which it is easy for its armies
and its fleets to throw themselves upon our civili
zation. An ill-founded claim (pretention) at Con
stantinople sufficed to arouse slumbering Europe.
Wo have in tact, behold iu tho East, in tho midst
of profound peace, a sovereign exact suddenly,
from his weaker neighbor, now advantages, and
becunso ho did not obtain them, invade two of his
provinces.
This fact alone would place arms in the hands of
thoso whem iniquity revolts; but we havo other
reasons to support Turkey. France has much and
perhaps more, interest at stake than England, to
prevent tho extension of the inflaonco of Kussia
indefinitely evor Constantinople, for to reign at
Constantinople is to command the Mediterranean,
and not one of you, gentlemen, I think, will say
that England alone Has interests in that section
which washes 300 leagues of our Bhoros. More
over, tliis policy does not date from yesterday.
For ccntnrioa every national government in France
has maintained it. I shall not abandon it. Let
men no morosav,“Wliat are you going to do at
Constantinople?" Wo aregoing there Villi Eng
land to defend the cause of the Sultan, and, uevor
theloss, to protect tho rights of Christians. We
go there to protect the freedom of the seas, and
onr just iufluenee in the Mediterranean. We go
there with Germany to assist in maintaining the
rank of which it seemed an uttempt was made to
deprive it—to make sure its frontiers against the
invasion of a too-powerful neighbor. We go there
finally, with all those who desire the triumph of
right, of justice and of civilization.
In this solemn circumstance, gentlemen, as iu
all thoso ill which 1 am obliged to mako an appeal
to the country, I urn suro of your support, for I
havo always found in you the generous sentiments
which animate tho natioD.
Therefore, strong iu that support in the nobility
of tho cause, in the scarcity of our allies, and con
flding especially in the protection of God, I hope
shortly to attain a peace which it will not be in
the power of any one to trouble with impunity.
Tho absence in tho speech of any mention of
Prussia, taken in connection with a similar omis
sion in the speech of Qoepn Victoria, seems to he
regarded as evidence that the King of Prussia
does not give his hearty adhesion to tho Western
Powers.

Intelligence bad reached Brussels that the Rus

Sweden were not yet terminated,and fears were
eutertained at Stockholm that Russia, in order to

_ Europe, re assured by tho moderation of the
Emperor Alexander, and his snccessor Nicholas,
-■coined to doubt the danger which threatened it
from the colossal power which by successive er.-
oroachuionts embraced tho'north and the centre
of Europe, and which possesses almost exclusively
two internal soas, whence it is easy for its armies
and fleets to launch forth against civilization. Bat
its recent unfounded demands in the East has
awakened Europe. France has an equal intorest
with England in preventing Russian supremacy
over Constantinople, for to be supreme in Con
stantinople is to be supreme in the Mediterranean.
France, therefore, was going to Constantinople
to defend tho freedom of tho seas, as well as to
protect the rights of tho Christians and France’s
just rights in the Mediterranean. She was going
with Ge rmany to aid Germany; with Austria to
defend her frontiers against the preponderance of
her too powerlul neighbors. She was going, in
short, with all those whe desire tho triumph of
right and justice and of civilization. Strong' then
in the nobleness ot our cause, in tho flrmness of
our alliances and the protection ot God, I hope

SPECIAL NOTICES.
PRESENTMENTS.
$2§ r ‘" Richmond Superior Conn, January Terra,
1854. —The Grand Jury for the third week, upon a revi
sion of the presentments made by their pred:cessorfl of
the first and second week*, find that the du ies of their
Body as a Grand Inquest into the affairs of the County,
have been so fully and ably discharged, that but little is
left for them, but to reiterate the views ai d recommenda
tions of those who have preceded them, and urgently en
force those views upon the proper authorities. Upon one
point, however, we feel constrained to differ from the
Junis of both weeks. In reference to the Roads and
Bridges of the County, we feel thst justice to the Contractor
requires us to say, that from the best information we can
obtain, he has fully and efficiently discharged the dnties
of his office,and that the bid condition of th 3 Roads and
Bridges under his immediate supervision, is owing entire
ly to the unprecedented fall of rain during the past winter
and not to any want of proper diligence on his part. Th e
road leading from East Boundary street to the plantations
of Messrs. Foster k Eve, has become the outlet for large
quantities of water from the City, and must, during wet
weather, always ba in a bad condition. No labor or vigil
ance on the part of the Contractor can possibly keep it
in order, in the present state of things.
The Bridge over Butler's Creek, which, (as we are in
formed, is under the immediate charge of the Inferior
Coart, and not of the Contractor) is unsafe tor heavily
loaded vehicles. We would, therefore, recommend to that
honorable Body, that it be immediately put in good repair.
The recommendation of our predecessors of the second
week, as to an appointment of an Inspector of Roads and
Bridges meets our entire approval, and we would respect
fully urge its adoption.
We would respectfully call the attention of the honorable
City Council of Augusta, to the state cf the cross streets,
during the past winter they have been almost impassable,
and little hope can be entertained of improvement, unless
a system of Planking is resorted to. And in view of the
large and increasing traffic upon those streets, we earnest
ly#ecommend that each of the principal ones be planked
as soon as practicable.
We concur in the recommendation of the Grand Jury of
the same week, as to the erection upon the Jail Grounds,
of a work-shop for the profitable employment f©f prisoners
confined for petty offences, in order that the County may
be relieved of the burdenjof their support.
We would respectful y submit, that in our opinion the
facility with which divorces are obtained under exist
ing law, has a most marked and demoralising tendency
upon society. We, therefore, recommend that the law be
6oamended by oar next Legislature, ss to require the ap
pearance of applicants at two terms of the Court, and re
strict the granting of divorces to residonts of at least
twelve months in the State.
With our predecessors bf the first week, we wool d ear
nestly urge upon the proper authoiities, the adoption of
meisures for the suppression of the great and growing
evils, caused by the open violation of the Sabbath in our
midst. We wonld especially call their attention to the
bold and shameless violation of law in the opening of
Bar-rooms on that day. And we would call upon all good
citizens and lovers of order, te aid in putting a stop to this
vice, which, leading all other vices in its train, strikes at
the most sacred interests of society.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Holt, we desiie to
express oar grateful sense of his courtesy to us during our
Term of service.
We would also return our thanks to Attorney General
Shkwmaks, for his kind attentions to our body.

PRESENTMENTS.
Greene Superior Court, March Term*
185 4.—Tho Grand Jury, in closing their labors, make
the following Presentments:
1. Through a Committee, we have examined the Jail,
and find that repairs are needed ; we discover a leak alro 1
in the Grand Jury room of the Court House. We recom
mend early attention to the matter.
2. By a Committee, we have examined the Books and
papers of the Clerk of the Superior and Inferior Courts,
and of the Ordinary, and find them kept in a neat and
correct manner, creditable to those officers.
8. By a Committee, we have examined the Books of the
Treasurer, and find them kept correctly, the expenditures
sustained by proper vouchers, showing a balance in the
hands of the Ti ea surer of $253.00.
4. We allow the Tax Collector tho sum of $41.02 upon
his insolvent list.
5. We find the Roads generally in good ordtr, excepting
the Road leading from the Scull Shoal in the direction of
Madison, which is reported impassable.
6. We are of opinion that the Patrol Laws are out par
tia'ly executed in the county, and would call the attenticn
of the Justices of the Peace in the several districts to the
importance of appointing regularly, active and efficient
Patrols.
7. From the report of the Poor School Commissioner, we
find that four hundred and seventy children have been
returned, three hnndrel and ten of that number received
schooling. The Commissioner has received the sum o*
$1,743 89, exclusive of his commissions, and paid out the
sum of $1,707.68, leaviog a balance in his hands of $41.86,
It is estimated that twenty per cent, upon the Slate Tax
will be required for the present year, and we recommend
the Inferior Court the assessment of that per cent.
We regret to find the number of chiluren that received
no schooling is so large, and would urge upon the parents
c f such children the importance of their education—con
tributing to the Poor School Fund themselves by the pay
ment of Taxes, we see no reason why their children should
not be recipients of it, benefit.
8. We bear cheerful testimony to the firmness, ability,
and fidelity, with which his Honor Judge Hakdiman has
presided during this Term of the Court. We tender to the
Solicitor General our appreciation of the coartesy shown
to this body, and the promptness and ability which has
m irked the performance of his duty.
We request that these Presentments be published in tho
Temperance Banner and the Augusta Chronicle <£ Sen

LIVERPOOL, Male 1 ! B.—The Cotton Market has been
in a dull and unsatisfactory state this week, owing to the
demand having fallen off so materially, and prices have at
times been irregular. The trade it will be seen bare been
sparing in their purchases, and there has been less than
usual grlngforward on speculation, and for export, so that
the week’s transactions only amount to 81,720 bales, a
quantity insufficient to relieve importers, who to a con
siderable extent hare been free and willing sellers this
week. American descriptions are about l-16d per lb, low
er, hut this does not apply to the better qualities, fair and
upwards ; and the market during the last three days lias
been steadier, with less pressure to sell than was experi
enced in the early part of the week.
Brazils are steady and in fair request. In Egyptians
not so much doing, but prices unchanged.
For Surats there lisa been a fair demand, and prices are
just the same as at the close of last week.
1,2b0 bags Sea Islands were offered by auction yesterday,
but only 50 bags sold, with 150 afterwards, holders refusing
to submit to a decline.
8,880 bales American, TO Bengal,and l,6loßuratsnre to
be taken on speculation and for export; and 26,210 bales
by the tra ;e. The actual export consists of 1,270 Ameri
can, 60 Brasil, Ac., and 900 East India—ln all 2,810 bales.
The sales to-day are 6,000 bale*, of which 1,500 are taken
on speculation and export; and the week’s business proves
to be considerably less than was expected.

LIVERPOOL, Manh B.—We have to report another
dull week In Cotton at prioes a turn in favor of buyers lu
the general business, and with occasional sales at a de
cline of fully Xd. $1 lb. A more general feeling of cau
tion lias been apparent, created by the position of the
Eastern Question, which seems certain to result in war,
the end whereof cannot be foreseen.
The purchases by the trade are eallmated at 26,700
bales, speculators taklug 1680, and exporters 8886, the
market closing languidly at the following quotations:—

Thc stock of Cotton In this port is 681,117 bales, of
which 821,000 are American, against 658,000 and 488,000
are American, this lime lest year.
Extreme dullness Is the characteristic of the Manchester
market, at rath r easier rates for yam, while stocks of
goods are accumulating and prices Irregular.
The mono / market .'s without change, first olass two
month bills 4X "P to 6X P 1 r cent for longer dates.
A complete panic has seised the com market, prices
having given way to day 8d 70 lbs In wheat. Is 6d $1
bbl. lu dour, and Is quarter in Indian corn, with scarce*
ly any transactions.— Broum, Shipley A Co.
LIVERPOOL, March B.—Trade generally Is quiet, nor
while affairs continue in their present position, can we
fairly expect any change for the better. Money, however,
remains very easy; the accumulation of funds in this
eountry In anticipation of war, continuing still to go on.
HAVRE, March I.—Our cotton market continues in a
dull and drooping state; the sales to-day are 700 bales at
stock prices. The Franklin steamer entered this morning.
The Intelligence brought by her contributed to the flatnesi
of the market.
Flour Is offered at 4Gf. $ bbl. The demand has been
very limited to day and there is, among holders an evident
desire to realize. The weather continues exceedingly fine.
A considerable number of emigrants have arrived this
week; engagements have been made for 1600.— Cor. Cm.
