From the 23d of Mnreh until the 23d of April I knew that Commander Davis was in correspon dence with the allies concerning the state of the [ force in Ktvai*.

On the 23d of April, however, circumstances occurred which led nte to doubt the sincerity of his protesta tions. Ou tiiat dav the second lieutenant of the S'.

Although I felt such an offer was a departure from duty on the past of a ITuit. d S at.w . ffi.'er. 1 did not hesitate to take advantage of the offer. 1 informed Lieut.

An Auieiioan citizen at after wards assured me that the Governor of the place remarked there would have been no difficulty about my landing if the application for it had been made. Such, sir, is a faithful history of the means which have been used to exile the Americuiis naturalized in Nicaragua from the country for which they have spilt their blood and risked then: lives.

But, whatever your wisdom may decide in rela tion to lhe policy of suoh conduct, I know the ius lice of the Government your Excellency so worthily controls will not fail to raise up the honor of Nica ragua, wounded by the seizure of her own vessel in her own poll, aud by its delivery to a foreign foe.

The Son Forever in the Meridian.—Profes oor fckmtag, Astronomer t;> the “Grinned Expedi tion,” in his narrative says—“Ah ti e laud adjacent to the pole i < all ten a incognita, it ia imp' s-ible to hay what additions to the stores «*f natural science n visiter to those regions might be able to make. Certain it fa. Mbwever, that a new and wide field would be opened for investigation. Everything there would be novel ; and that, circumstance alone would be well calculated to stimulate his at eiitive faculties. The difficulties which would present themselves to the investigator limy be appreciated at home ; but they would be greater or less, accord ing to circumstances of which we know nothing.— We know not, for example, whether the pole is co vered with open water or icy sea, or dry land j nor do wo know which of these three conditioi s would be most favorable for investigation. It may be pre sumed, however, that an open sea would be, in seve ral respects, the most disadvantageous. In the first place, it would, in all probability, be so deep that the ship would be unable to anchor; aud the cur rent might be too strong to permit her to keep sta tionary long enough to make accurate observations. In the second place, if she could not maintain her position steadily atone point, the commander would experience a new embarrassment, viz : as every meridian must extend Southwardly, he would be apt t»» lose that on which he approached the pole—and, consequently, he would be at a loss how to shape his course homeward. The occurrence of this strange difficulty will natu rally present itself as one among many novel phe nomena which will arrest the ad venturer’s attention, and the following observations would probably oc cur to him on the spot The time of day (to use that phraseology for want of any other that would be more appropriate) would no longer bo marked by any apparent change in the attitude of the «un above the horizon ; because to a spectator at the pole no such c tange would appear, except to tho small amount of the daily change of the declination. Thus, not only to the eye, but a'so for the practical purpose of obtaining the time by agronomical ob m rvH ion, the sun would appear throughout the twenty-four hours neither to rise nor fall, but to de scribe a circle round the heavens parallel with the Ik nzon Then lore, the usual imufe of ascertaining the time would utterly fail; and, indeed, however startling may be tho assertion, it is nevertheless true, that time or the natural di tinotion of time would be no more. This will appear from the con sideration that the idea of apparent time refers only to the pai tit ular meridian on which an observer happens to be placed; and is marked or determined only b> the distance of tho sun, or s->nie other heav enly body, from that meridian. Now as an ob server at the pole is on no one meridian, but is sta tioned at a point where all me. idians meet, it is evid« at “apparent time” for him has no exist ence L1 aom the Upper Missouri. —The efearner St. \1 arrived yesterday from Fort Katidali, on tho l yper Missouri, which point she loft ou the sth ot the present month. She brought down about twenty pass* ngers among them Sir George Gore, a British nobleman, who has been some years en gnged in buiralo and bear hunting in the Cix»w country. Sir George is accompanied by a suite consisting of some eight persons, and brings down with him a large collection of bear, deer and buf falo nkii's, ana other valuable furs, besides a beau tiful Indian dog. Sir George, it may be remem bered, fitted out this expedition in St. Louis about tliroe years ago. During his absence he has killed a large number of buffaloes ?uid oilier game, And at tiir.ee has had iu his employ as many as forty two persons. The hunters oft his party were furnished with ns many as six horses each. Sir George reports the condition of the Indian country on tho Upper Missouri as very unsettled and precarious. Iu cousequeuoe of the troops hav ing been withdrawn from Fort Uandall and Fort L.>ok out, the ludiaus iu that region have assumed a hostile and menacing attitude towards the whites which has had the effect of frightenii g the old tra ders, who are rapidly vaentiug tiiat country. A party had gone from Fort Kand&U to co operate with a number of troops who had marched against the San tees, a large and powerful band of Si ux who were committing murder and every atrocity against the whites. Never wrs the region of the higher Missouri in a worse condition as respects the ludiaus, aud it would not be astonishing if before many W3 should receive the news of a general Indian war from ;he mouth of the Yellow Stone to tho head w ters of the Missouri. Sir George Gore will probably remain for some days in St. Liuis previous to his return to Great Britain. His experience of the wild life of the mountains and the plans has imparted to hi”' some what of the sun burnt hue of the trapper; aud his unpretentious aud most affable demeanor partakes largely of wh t on this side of the Atlautic we un derstand as social democracy.— St. Ixn*is Demo crat, 13/A. Extraorpin art Phenomenon. —On Saturday afternoon, about five o’clock, a strong current of air passed through a portion of this county, and cat up some strange freaks. It commenced at Maria \ iiie. laying the apple orchard of the widow Frost in desolation. passing into Bradshaw's woods it twisted off hickory trees a foot through the trunk, and pine trees two feet in diameter. The next we hear of it is at Samuel McMillius. w here it blew down trees, removed stone wails, and carried away fence rails, so that they have not since been heard from Hiohanl D. Bond, living near east, had bis barn, and shed adjoining the barn, demolished, an i a val uable btrse killed by tbs roof ©f~the Wood-shed, which was lifted entirely off. The effects are visi ble for about hah' a u’i’e further east, where its force appears to have been spe»t. The course of the storm was from west to east.

Ttmm From the Charleston Mercur9. Gov. Wnlker’ii Addrem to the People of Kan- We have received from Lecompton, Kanaai*, the inaugural Addreee of Governor Walker. It covers the whole broadside of an ordinary newspa per Os course, it is unprofitable to publish it en tire but we propose to give our reader* a few ex tracts and to inform them of its positions. There are eeveral points of the address upon which we shall probably dwell at some length. To day, we will consider the m*jst important of th m—the sub mission of the Constitution, alter being adopted by the Convention of Kansas, to the people for ratifi (Mitioa. Gov. Walker begins his disquisition on the fonna tion of the Convection with very sound doctrines. Ilwsays: . .^xau 4:The people of Kansas then are invited by the highest authority known to the Constitution, to par- Ticipii-fc freely and fairly in the election of Oelegate* to frame a Constitution and State government.^l he Uw hao performed its entire appropriate function, when it extends to the people the right of suffrage ; but it cannot compel the performance of that duty. Throughout our whole Union, however, and wcer ever Ire© government prevail, th«>ee who abiitaio from the exercise of the right of suffrage, authorize those who do vote to act for them m that contin gency, and the absentees are as much bound under the law and Constitution, where there is no fraud or violence, by the act of the majority of those who do vote, as 'although all had participated in the election. Otherwiie, a* voting must be voluntary, self government would be impracticable, and monarchy or despotism wouid remain os the only alternative.” Here, then.it is affirmed, that when the opportu nity is given to the people to vote at elections, thoee who refuse to do so, authorize those who do to act for them. If, therefore, any of the people of Kansas shall refute to vote at the approaching election for it-presentatives to the Convention, the Kepreaeu tatfves elected are just as much their Representa tive* a* if they had voted forthem. This is undoubt edly true. Those who do not vote are exactly in the same position as these who do, who have been defeated in the election They are considered as s part of the minority, and the Kepresentat vs elec ted is the Representative of all the people—the ma j rity as well a 3 the minority. Thus all the people in the Convention are represented, and the Ootrvon- tion 11 the people. But if these positions be correct, upon what ground shall the Conititution thus adopted by the people iu Conveution, be submitted to the people again at the polls for their action 7 AU the people, according to his own views, have been fairly repre sented, and have acted in Convention' Is not their action authoritative and conclusive. Shall they ap peal from themselves to themselves ? Gen. Walker is a native of Pennsylvania. lie emigrated to Mis sissippi, and represented that State iu IbeSen-te of of the United States. He ig pow a citizen of Penn sylvania again. Neither the Constitution of his na tive State, Pennsylvania, nor that of his temporari ly adopted State, Mississippi, was ever submitted to the people for ratification alter being adopted in Convention. Yet, iu bis very next sentence, he vir tually slanders both of thesp S,ti*te«, "You should not console yourseives, my fellow citizens, with the reflection that you may, by a sub sequent vote, defeat the ratification of the Constitu tion. Although most anxious to secure to yon the exercise of that great constitutional' right, and be lieviug that the Convention 1§ tee servant, and not the mastei of the people, yet I have uo power to dictate the proceeding* of that body, f cannot doubt, however, the course they will adopt on this subject. But why incur the hazard us the prelimi nary formation of a Constitution by a minority, as al leged by you, when a majority, by their owii votes, could control the forming of that instrument.” litre he asserts that the submission of the Con stitution for ratification at the polls, « ‘<a great con stitutional right,’* lor “the Convention is the ser vant* not the roaster of the people.” Pennsylva nia and Mississippi, therefore, in not submitting the ratification of their Constitutions to the people at the polls, violated “a great constitutional right,” aud usurped a mastery oyer the pep pie. What is a Constitution ? !Jt is only a law made by the people. Nothing wore—nothing less. Why should this law, more than any other law, be submitted to the peo ple for their ratification at the polls T Are any other laws so submitted to them tor- ratification l And throughout the whole Confederacy, are not all the laws daily passed by the State Legislature, ; passed finally without any reference to the people at the polls ! If the legislators iu our State Legis latures are the servants of the people, they are their deputed servants, whose..acts are conclusive and final. Why should not the members of a Conven tion, elected without any restriction on their power, have the same authority ? The truth is, there are reasons why the acts of a Convent on should be conclusive, which do uot apply to a State Legisla ture. A Legislature is a body removed from the people immediately. It is constituted and restrict ed under a law previously existing. Hut a Con vention is the people themselves—clothed with the whole sovereignty of the country—above all laws, and tilts great source of all laws. Gov. Walker reiterate Am* opinions on this point in the following words . “Indeed, I cannot doubt that the Convention, af ter having framed a State Constitution, will submit it for ratification or rejection, by a majority of the then actual bum fide resident settlers of Kansas. “With these views, well known to the President and Cabinet, aud approved by them, I accepted the appointment of Governor of Kansas. My instruc tions from the President, through the Secretary of State, under date of the 30th of March last, sustain ‘lke regular legislature of the TeHitory' in ‘as sembling a Convi niton to form a Constitution ’ and they express the opinion of the President, that ‘when s"cha Constitution shall be submitted to the people of the Territory , they must be protected in (he exer cise of their right of voting for or against that in strument; and the fair expression of the popular will must not be interrupted by fraud, or violence “1 repeat, then as my clear conviction, that unless the Convention submit the Constitution to the vote of all the actual r esident settlers of Kaunas, and the election be fairly and justly conducted, the Consti tution will be, and ought to be rejected by Con gress.” Gov. Walker, in this extract, shows that be not only speaks for himself, but for tho Secretary of State, Mr. Cass, and for the President of the Waited States. There are two terrors evoked to intimidate the Convention — first, tho Government; and s cowl the rejection of the application for admission of Kan h -8 into the Union by Congress, unless the Consti tution which the Convention shall adopt be submit ted to the people of the Ternary for Pa! ideation. The words of the Secretary of State do not entirely suppoit the use Governor Walker designs to put them to. The words are, “when such aC nstitu tion t hall be submitted to the people,*’&c. They take for granted that this policy will be pursued, but do nol commend it. But the threat that Kan Mas will be rejected by Congress as a State, unless this policy is adopted, is all Gov. Walker’s own.— He supposes, we presume, that he can accomplish this eua in Congress by a combination of Black Itcpublicans and Northern Democrats. Gov Wal ker can deceive no one. by his bullying policy.— Every one knows tha* his great anxiety for the sub mission of tho Constitution which shall be adopted by the Convention in Kansas, to the polls again, is to carry out his policy, so freely promised during the late Presidential canvass, that Kansas should be a free State. Ho does not doubt that, with the United States troops to keep open the way, his call to the Northern people to flood Kansas with white voters sufficient to make it then a free State, at the polls, by rejecting the Constitution, should it toler ate slavery, will be quite successful. But if the Convention about to assemble in Kansas will stand firm, and despise his counsels and defy his threats, it will defeat hi > traitorous policy. They will be ad mitted into the Union, ana save Missouri and the Indian Territory to the South. Should Gov. Wal ker suooeed in his policy, Arkansas will be the fron tier slave State in the West. DitmMrou* Fire—Loan E,timuipii at 9100,000. About 3 o’clock yesterday morning (Thursday) our city was alarmed by the cry of fire and the ring ing of the Are beds, when, immediately after, the liainea were discovered issuing from the building oil Front Row, occupied by Samuel McManus, which spread on both sides and quite destroyed the whole block, bound on the west and nerth by Front Row and Court street. We copy from the Evening News the following particulars : The block was composed of seven business houses with offices above, and was occupied by J. W. Mc- Cracken ft- Co., grocers and produce merchants; (late house of Patterson, Marshal ft C 0.,) the Hank of West Tennessee ; Goodlett; Nabers ft. Co., cot ton factors and commission merchants; Commercial Bank ; Btewart King ft Co., grocers and produce merchants; S. McManus,stoves and tin ware, and Gnessman ft Hoffman, dry goods and clothing.— The offices were occupied by Tbos. H. Allen, John Kirk, J. H. Hill, J. V. Fossell, C. M. Fackler, Brown, De Long ft Co., cotton factors, and a num ber of others aa business offices and sleeping apart mentg. A strong wind was prevailing at the time, which fanned the flames into such a fury that the well directed energies of the fire department to ar rest their progress were in vain to the salvation of the block, though much greatly endangered pro perty was preserved. The building on the north east'eorner was the only one iu the block which escaped almost total destruction. The warehouses in the rear of the Commercial Bank was filled with whiskey and iron belonging to McCombs ft Trice. The buildings occupied bv McCrxeken ft Co., Goodlett, Nabers ft Co., and Bank of West Ten nessee, were owned by F. H. Cossitt, loss SIO,OOO, fuiiy insured, those by Stewart, King ft Co., and S. McManus, owned by S. Andrews, loss f?,000 fully insured: that by Grie-sman ft Hoffman, owned by Goff ft Bailentine, 105553,500; that by the Commercial Bank, owned by Jas. Armour, loss SO,OOO, insurrance $3 500; that by C. Potter, owned by J. M. Lea, damaged nesrsl,ooo, fully in sured. The following is the list of the principal sufferers, and the amount of their losses and insurance, so far aa could be ascertained. McCracken ft Go., loss $2,000, insurance $5,000; Bank of West Tennessee and Commercial Bank, losstriking; Goodlett, Nobeis ft Co., loss $1,000; Stewart, King ft Co , loss $10,500, insurance $5,000, $2,000 in Memphis Insurance Company, $3,000, in W.E Milton’s Agency; S. McManus, lose SO,OOO, insurauce $3,000 : Griessmau ft Hoffman, loss (en tire wholesale department destroyed) SIO,OOO, in surance sl3 ,000 in four offices; Coffee house of Boro, lopi about s*2so; J. B Hill loet all hie books and p* j-er*; C. Potter (across the alley on the S.mtfc) loss $->,500, insurance $3 500; McCombs & Trice, lose $4,000, insurance $2,000; J. V. Fossell lost his papers. There are various conjectures as to bow and where the tire originated. We heard one or two say that it commenced in the tin and hardware house of Mr. McManus, from a candle left burning after the in mates bad gone to bed or went out. Others, that it was probably caused by mice nibbling some matches and igniting them. Others, again, that some bur glars. now infesting oar city, intent on housebreak ing and robbery set tire to this block of buildings, and, while our business men and citizens generally were attracted thither, went down on Howard s Bow, and entered the grocery house of James Boro, broke open hie iron safe, (by drilling hole* in the door and pricking gunpowder therein, blew the bolts of the door off,l«Zid extracted between one hundred and hundred and fifty dollars. This occurred about the same hour of the fire. The fire companies of the city, aided by the hook and ladder company, prevented the extension of the fire beyond the* immediate block of buildings which was consumed. We learnedJ&at Xos. 3 ana 4 reached the fire first, and No. 3 threw the first water. The bouse of James Boro, Howard's Row. was broken open during the fire his safe blown up, and over owe hirndred dollars extracted from it. Our merchants need not rely upon and powder proof safes, wbeu such accomplished vim ana aa these waik our streets, and inhabit our city. —Memphis Eosle.

The whirlwind having thus executed it* purpose in destroying property, next made an ’attempt open life, with but too fearful success. A German team star, named Martin »Schwarder, in the employ of Mr. Furnise, who owns a saw-mill iu that region, was loading staves in a wagon. Old Mr. Fumies was banding him the staves, whi’et the teataater took them aud stowed them away iu the wagon. The attention of the two men was attracted by a singular noise, when, looking upwards, they satf a ©oinmou bara-shove! dying through the air over their heads, at incut thirty feet freon the ground, and twjrhbg around in the most singular manner.— Naturally enough their eyes w r ere riveted upon this remarkable phenomenon, and the next instant a small maple tre&, stand Lag nearly its length from the wagon, w’a* caught by the wind and the top of it thrown directly acre as the wagon, knocking the teamster dowu upon the staves and throwing Mr. h nrnias to the grouud.

The Spanish question looks, judging from prepa rations for resistance being at length made here, as though it were not all to end in smoke. There is considerable movement about the castle and va rious forts. Earthworks are being thrown up out side the town. Tho National Guard is getting itself ready. Patriotic addresses pour in upon the Preei dent. A large body of regulars are being concen trated upon Jalapa. Volunteers are offering their services by battalions, as though true patriotism is not extinct in the Mexican bosom, and that they are preparing, with a right good will, to “sweep the haughty invader from their shores.” Meanwhile Gen. Santa Anna baa fulminated one of his “Manifestoes to the Nation,” filled with de nunciation of the present Government, and praise of himself and of the great deeds which he has done iu the days of their fathers, and in the old time be fore them. In a word, a genuine Santa Anna docu ment. The Government is having the good sense to publish it in the journals—pretty much without comment, as it “speaks for itself.” Tlius they treat it as a farce. As one of the signs of the times, there is quite a squadron at Sacrincios; six ships, Spanish, French aud English ; among the latter, the broad pennant ot an Admiral. lam assured, upon good authority, that several more Englishmen are expected. Their visit is occasioned by that robbery of 10,000 from the British Consul’s house at San Luis Potosi. J<shu Bull won’t submit to any nonsense about money matters! Mr. Forsyth and the Government are eaid to be in a snarl; cause, the Sonora butcheries and quite u list of recent Mexican infringements of American rights of person and property. lvome is still sulky and “thundering from the Va tican,” about the law of desamoatizacion. And even little Guatemala is growling about the boun dary question. France alone seems to enjoy a quiet life in Mex co, and it is but seeming. Thus you see the land of “God and Liberty,” manages to keep itself in hot water, with all the world, &e. 1 would like to know how she’s to get cleverly out of all these troubles. But I believe she’ll do it. Mark my words. There is no dinlo macy osn compete with the Mexican genius. For regular unmitigated astuteness commend me to your genuine Spaniah-Mexican mixture ! Worse than any of the abovo. however, are the eternal, infernal dissensions which are and will con tinue to be endless, eo long as the name of Mexico exists among nations; which a littla b.rd whispers me will not be forever. A forced loan has just been decreed of six per cent upon all real estate ! Won’t thi3 wake up the large proprietors who now monopolize lands and tenements ? It iB a good law, if it could only bo carried into effect. ’Tis a direct blow at those mo nopolists, but unfortunately will be more cruel upon small proprietors, because the property of the latter is co much more accessible. The great curse of Mexico is the system of Monopoly, not only in real estate, but in almost everything else. A hundred thousand own and govern the country. The six or seven millions are considered as mere pawns. From the London Times. TheAllamir Submarine Telegraph. Since our last notice of the progress of this great undertaking, with the exception of a short interval of 4ff hours ktst Monday and Tuesday, the work Ims advanced incessantly day and night. The “strand,” “closing,” and “serving” machines, which revolve with such astounding rapidity, and whose noise can be heard even to the centre ot the river, have done their work well, .and spun an additional 500 miles of cable. Nearly 000 miles are now completed, and at least 1,200 would have been ready could the wiredrawers have supplied wire as fast as the machines consume it. But that, unfortunately, has not been the case, for the daily consumption of fine wire has been greater than all the wiredrawers in England could furnish, and the consequence is that less is ready for shipment than was wished or anticipated. The preparations for shipping the cable are near ly finished, and the operation of transferring the ponderous col s from factory to the hold of the Aga memnon will commence on Tuesday or Wednesday next. Workmen from the dockyards are now en gaged in laying down moorings for the Agamem non which will arrive off Glasse and Elliot’s to morrow (Saturday) morning. No less than 10 anchors have been fixed to secure her from motion while this important work is going forward. From the factory to the side of the ship 10 barges will be moored stem and stern, aud along these the cable will be slowly wound by a 12-horse power engine. It will be stowed away "in the hold in one tremen dous coil 45 feet in diameter and nearly 12 feet high No vessel better suited than the Agamemnon for this purpose could be found in the navy. The American Vessels.— I Tnere is not the least ground for the reports that the United States frigate Niagara is not to take the other half of the cable, manufactured by Newali at Birkenhead. At first there were some doubts as to whether it was worth while to make certain alterations in the vessel, which were necessary in order to avoid risk in pay ing out the coil. But this question has been definite ly decided, and either last night or this morning the Niagara quitted the Thames for Portsmouth Dock yard, where some of her stanchions will be taken out, and her fine ward room not a little disfigured to accommodate her long passeuger. This vessel is undoubtedly not so well suited for the work aa the Agamemnon, aud on board of her the cable will have to be piled in two or three coils, fore and aft, an arrangement w hich would have been better avoided if it were possible. Both at Biikenhead and at East Greenwich the manufacture of the cable at one end will be con tinued, while the other end is being shipped. In fact, both firms will work up to the last moment, iu order that in paying out across the Atlantic a liber al allowance may be made for slack without fear of running short. The Susquehanna will accompany the Niagara, and we believe the Leopard goes with tl# Agamemnon. All the vessels will rendezvous at Cork harbor, when the final arrangements will be made as to starting. The Cyclops is now out in the Atlantic taking soundings. The Hon boras Treaties. —We learn from our foreign files that intelligence has been received in Loudon of the partial adjustment of the complica tions in rsspevt to the !negotiarions with Honduras. The President of that republic, General Don Santos Guardiolia, has ratified the treaty signed by his Minister, Senor Victor Herran, with Lord Clarendon, in London, las* year, being a treaty of commerce and friendship of the ordinary kind, together with the important “additional article” which guaranties the neutrality of the railroad through the Isthmus of Honduras. But, for reasons which the Honduras agents in England do not appear to have been y t made acquainted wrb, the President has not ratifi ed the convention which, signed at the same time as ihe foregoing treaty, and by the eamefanctinories, provides for the transfer on certain conditions of the Bay Islands to Honduras, and the eession of certain rights of British sovereignty over the Mosquito territory. The Honduras Plenipotentiary accredited to En gland anJ France, Senor llerran, and now resident in Paris, has Received intimation from Count Wa leweki that the goverament-of France will immedi ately ratify the treaty with Honduras, similar in ail rerpectS to that just concluded between Great Britain and Honduras, and embracing the “addi tional article" securing the neutrality of the Hon duras Interoceanic Railway. This line, extending from Porto Cabello, on the Atlantic, to the bay of Fonseca, on the Pacific, both termini being in the State Os Honduras, is now being surveyed by a large staff of engineers who lately left New York for that purposed They were accompanied thence bv Senor Alvarado, the Honduras Minister t Waahingt -n, where he bad just signed a treaty with the government of the United States, identical with the Anglo-Honduras treaty, and containing likewise the "additional aiticie” which insures the free use of the propesed railway, in the interests of commerce and civilization, to all rations.— Balt.

And this sovereignty, conceded by the democrats, is tending *:o another innovation upon law aDd pre cedent.

Wulker's “Instructions. The Democratic pro3.i of the South, generally have condemned the policy of Gov. Walker in his Inaugural address to ihe people of Kansas, but at the same time, they have pretended to think he acted contrary to, or at least without instruction from the Administration. They have again and again told their readers this, aud loudly and un qualifiedly condemned Walker, but not one word have they said against the Administration. The following paragraph is an extract from Governor Walker’s Inaugural, and uuless he has committed himself to a deliberate falsehood, the position of the Administration cannot be gainsayed : My instruction* horn the President, through the Secretary of State, u nder date of 30th of March last, sustain “the regular Legislature of the Territory,” in ‘‘assembling a Convention to form a Constitu tion,” aud they express the opinion of the Presi dent, that ''ncken such a Constitution shall be sub mitted to Ihtpeopleof the Territory, they must be protected in the exercise of their right of voting for or against that instrument; and the fair expression of the popular will must, lie* be interrupted by fraud or violence. ’ These “instructions,** says the Montgomery Mail, are iur re than the opinion of Gen. Caes, Secretary of State— “they express the opinion of the Presi d:nt.” And that “opinion’’ should be burnt into the memory of every Southern man, for it is an “opinion*' full of danger and degradation to the South. It reads—and Gov. Walker quotes from his instructions —“when such a constitution shall b£ SUBMITTED TO THE PEOPLE OF A TERRITORY, they must be protected in the exercise of their right of voting foe- or against that iiUtrumeLt,” Ate.. &c. Who shall now say that Robert J. Walker ha a violated the instructions he received f om the Ad ministration—instructions embodying the “opin ion” of the President himself ? Who shall now say > that the Administration is not against the Seu»h, in the tenderest of her rights. The South Las fought for and won the Territory, by fair Constilufonal means, ai d after the victory, the very Aduiiuielra tion placed by her in powt r, turns round and says in effect, you must fight the battle over again ! Think of it. Southern men ! Think of i r * hardship, its inequality, its base irjustice ! Southern Commercial Contention. —The great Southern Commercial Convention will assem ble this year on Monday, ti e 10th of August, in Knoxville, Tennessee. —b xchange. Really, wc think it time that the Southern Rail road Companies Bhould kill eff this most miserable of all unmitigated humbugs, by re!using to transport the delegates free of charge. Only make them pay for their tickets, and their gas about Southern com merce will fiud some other safety valve, than these Southern Commercial Conventions. Perhaps it is our devotion to our own native South, mingled with our contempt for humbugs, that makes ue feel a sense of humiliation, not uniuiugled with loathing, when wc hear of these Scutht rn Commercial Con ventions. They have now been in operation six or e igkt years, or more, and if any man can point to a single benefit that has resulted therefrom, at all commensurate with the thousandth part of the liquor the delegates have guzzled down their capacious throats, we should be pleased to hear of it. Indeed, they seem to Lave become the mere occasions for drinking and gourmandizing. Fire and Death. A Fjre occurred yesterday afternoon, at the resi dence <jf Mr. John Carrie, at the southwest end of Campbell street. It was communicated to the roof of the kitchen from the chimney, and having been early discovered, its progress was soon arrest ed, havii g done but little damage. The most mel ancholy circumstance connected with it, was the death of Mr. Carrie, the owner, wlio, afll cted with a disease of the heart, fell and expired instantly. He was a native of Bordeaux, France, about seven ty-seven years of age, but had resided iu this city about fifty-seven years, where he always main tained a high character for houesty and integrity. Encampment at Milledgevii.le. —Most of the military companies of the State have accepted Gov. Johnson's invitation to meet in encampment at Milledgeville on the 4th of July. The “Clinch Rifles,” “Oglethorpe Infantry,” and “Washington Artillery,” of this city have resolved to attend, and will each number some forty or fifty-five men.— They will be missed at our accustomed military and firemen's parade on this occasion, but will doubtless meet with a warm welcome at Milledgeville, and the display of such a number of well drilled military companies on one field will be a novel and inter esting one. Fire in Nevvnan, Ga. —The house of Mr. A. Mclver, in Newman, Ga ~ tars entirely destroyed by fire on Friday night last, together with most of his household and kitchen furniture. Loss between three and four thousand dollars.. On the day fol lowing, a child ofMr. Mclver was severely burned by falling in the fire. We learn from the Newnan Blade that from Saturday morning to Monday morning there were four different attempts to fire aa many different buildings in the place, all of which fortnnately resulted in no very serious deterge.— Great excitement prevails amorg the citizens of Newnan, and active measures are being employ ed to ferret out the perpetrators of these diabolical deeds. Brunswick Railroad.—The Her nil of that city of the 12', h says that there is now 25 miles graded west of the Satiila, and that if the work goes on without connection, (or is made on the line of the Brunswick road,) it win be fiuished to Big Creek this fail The Herald says no definite propositions have yet transpired between the two Railroad Com panics and that the resolat:on3of the Stockholders in the Brunswick Company were onl y recommendatory “Brunswick's star has risen, and though an occa sional cloud may pass between it and the sun of its prosperity it is but transient, and we look forward with confident expectation to its rpsedy and glorious culmination." No MI NATION S IN TH» SIXTH DISTRICT.—We learn from a private source, says the Atlanta Intel lisenrer, that the Democratic Convention of the Sixth Congressional District nominated the Hen J vmes Jackson off.arke, as the candidate of the party. have not been able t , ascertain all the particulars, up to the time of onr going .« press though we learn that several delegations Withdrew from the Convention. "Mobile and Mount Verson —The people of Mo bile(?ays the Montgomery Air,,!,) are making exten sive preparations for celebrating the 4th of July. In their programme, they have not forgotten the s deinn duty which they owe the memory of the Father of them Country; and responding to the t!o qnent appeal of Teadon, seconding the-effortsof the ‘‘Southern vatr n," they have invited onr f e u o w citizen. Hon. Vm. L. Yancey, to be present and ap peal to the patriotism of the city, in behalf of Mount Vernon. The invitation was so earnest and p.- warm, that Mr. Yancey wrote a repiy accepting, on the instant. Discontinued. —The Postoffico at Mount Hicko ry, Caattooga county, has been discontinued. Madison Female College. —The Commence' meet of the Madison (Ga.) Female College wil take place on Thursday, the 2th of July. The litre i ary address will be delivered by Rev. James R. Thomas, D. D., President cf Emory College. Cherokee Baptist College.—Rev. Joseph Walker, of Macon, we learn, will preach the Com mencement Bermon, at this College, on Sunday, the 11th o! July next. Bishop O’Regan, of Chicago, was burned in effigy on the 4th intk, near the depot, in that p ace, by the French Catholic* of the vicinity. Mooli n dignation is shown in that diocese against ft Bishop, growing out of tbs mm of Fathet CL niqay I | ,Thrte Events. In one shoi# month, three events have occurred | which apparently have attracted little or no notice i iu the South, and in certain ptessea, noue at all.— : Thet-lavery question has broken up the Young Men's Christian Association in New-York—it has separated the New School Presbyterian Church, and has ent«re<ynto the American Tract Society for ■futAuin its circulation, j Men can become used to almost any endurance. Some ot the ancient Asiatics wore horse hair shirts. I filled with vermin, with but little annoyance. Al | though overwhelmed by its eruption. • the population client Mount Vesuvius continue to f" build within the reach of its terrible lava. But a ! few years ago, the first breach between the North and South, i:if the "Methodist Church, produced a j {.rofr*crd sensation of indignation in every home in ! South But where are we now ? Church after Church 6ep&fctea—.the religious associations are ♦ broken up—anu even the streams of religious litera j ! are. to the salvation ot men's souls, as its ; high c.IJ hoiy aims, are to be polluted with Aboli | tion ' i njtMiiiH iml wc hear it with scarcely an emotion. Some Southern presets pass over these evercs W!!h »nh a notice, and others advert to them a? they might do the breaking up of a country meet ing or a riot. As great political events, threatening ttw peace of one-half of the C« mfedera cy in their sure developments, they are treated as unworthy of regard. Allured by the pat ronage or the Government, or paralyzed by an abj* «t spirit o: submission, they turn their insensate indignation on those of their brethren in the South who will not and cannot ref.iain passive under the mighty mean ings these events show forth. They call them ultra disturbers of the peace of the South, and enemies of its prosr erlty and safety ; audtnusit has been, «.from the "til's! beginning ot the abolition agitation iu CoDgresf in 1834. Under the passive inactivity of the South, how vast has been the progress of things since that day I But there they are still shouting peace and denouncing action. Great changes in the political, as in the physical world, in the order ot providence, are often brought about by a regular series of events. A people ripen to independence like the fruits of earth. Rain and sunshine, clouds and tempests, pas 3 over them. And often these things which seem to be obstruc tive, only hasten on the final catastrophe, like bar> iu a river, wkch lift higher by their impediments, the mighty flood in its progress to the ocean. “Cau such things be, And overcome us like a summer cloud, And not excite our special wonder t” Charleston Mercury. To the above article, from the Charleston Mer rury, Ihe Montgomery Mail makes the following forcible and pertinent reply : “To be sure they can! They Ere no wonder at all! Do we not—by a ma jority of our votes—annually cripple the South in a worse manner than any of the above ? Do we not —by « majority of our votes—sanction the immijjra tion and free suffrage of enough foreign abolitionists, crmxally, to form three or four new State Constitu tions ? Will not now State Constitutions —framed j by abolitionists and sanctioned principally by the rotes of :newly lauded foreigners—soon be admitted into the 1 Jnion, with two Senators and a Represen tative, each, to begin with, voting in Congress against tl «e South ? And will not their representa tion in C< mgress be increased with a like material by every apportionment ? Are there not at many States yet to be admitted into the Union as already exist? Does the South expect to get a single one of them u nder Democratic rule, or any other rule tolerating; the existing laws regulating the manufac ture of American voters out of such material as is being landed daily on our shores from Europe T The fact isf the South has enough to contend 8 gainst iu the native abolitionists of the North. It w'e could ‘hold our own’ in a contention with our own people for our rights, it is as much as ought reasonably to be expected. But if, iu addition to this opposition, we have also to contend against the mass of ignorance (of our institutions) that finds its way hither from Europe, there is nothing under heaven can save us but an ‘‘undivided South, ’ pre seating an unbroken front against the invaders, at the ballot box. “The South is*, doing nothing to avert the impend ing evil that sur *.ly awaits supinenees, but remains passive—appare. itly almost .unconscious of being rapidly swallowed, up by the tides of Freesoilism so strongly setting i a from a two Did direction—and judging of the future by the past, we are scarcely left a hope that the South will do anything. A majority of the p eople seem to believe shat a party acting under the name of Democracy , cau do no wrong. We ha ve seen the modern Democratic party depart freon and repudiate the principles of the original Dei nocratio party, until, at the present day, they contend for almost nothing that they advocated in t ae days of Jackson, Van Buren, and and Polk. We now see their leaders advocating— and their cons iituency coutenancing—magnificent schemes of In ternal Improvementjby the General Government! We see them winking at Alien Suffrage and. Squatter Sovereignty iu the Territo ries*, eitriply because Alien Suffrage and Squatter Sovereignty bring strength to the Democratic par ty, aud regardless of the indisputable fact that Alien Suffrage and Squatter* Sovereignty exclude Ihe South from a participation in the settlement of new Territories on equal tenri6 with the North to wit, carrying p&rperly aud > Maintaining Southern rights iif framing the institutions of such Territories. 'lf we had the North to contend against only in the settlement of the Territori es, we repeat we might successfully compete with, the native abo itionists, and save to Southern institutions one half the States yet to be added to the Union. But when, Iu addition, we have the hordes o*?European adven turers and outcasts to contend against—nineteen twentieths of whom a-e abolitionists at heart before leaving the iauu of their nativity—tike inevitable truth is apparent, that the doom of the South is scaled! What Territory can we now—ev en new— look forward to, for the extension of Southern institutions ? Not one ! Not a solitary one can we claim with any degree of certainty! The whole of our vast Territories—almost equal in extent with the existing States—bids fair to be settled by both Northern amd European abolitionists, to the entire exclusion of the South. If matters go on in this way without a check or hindrance by some united effort on the part of the voters of the South, can any sane man doubt that in a dozen years tim£ or less a cordo.a of free States will surround the holders wbioh shall crush the institution of Slavery to the vitals ? “Will the people of tho South lay aside their blind party prejudices for a moment, and reflect dispas sionately on this momentous subject ? No! Can didly, we do not believe they will. They are blind to their own and their country’s interests; —blind to everything except the empty name of Democracy, which they fain would make us believe is the talie manic sound which can avert all evil, no matter what phantoms that party may pursue. People of the South—it will soon be too late to retrace your steps! The welfare of the land which gave you birth—your own welfare, and the peace, prosperity and happiness of your children, bid you pause and reflect. You have everything to gain and nothing to lose by so doing. Your party leaders know that they are misleading you. They care for nothing but the immediate spoils land honors of office, and look no further into the future of our country than from one term of office to another. It is not so with the masses. It is an inborn desire of the people to do what is right for their country’s aggrandizement “Then awake—arise—or be forever fallen!” Shake off your lethargic slumbers, and gird on your armos ere it be forever too late! “Strike for your altars and your fires*' while yet ye may strike—or the daycometh when ye shall be powerless in the shackles of your merciless, remorseless, and deadly enemy! Temperature and Rain.— The following is an exhibit of the monthly mean temperature and amount of rain and melted snow, in inches, for this year. A self-regulating thermometer wiyi used for the record of temperature and the results read daily at 9 o’clock P.

The above ascertain ment is by Mr. Gu 'dinan, and made for the Smith sonian Institute, Washington, and in every par ticular reliable. Santa Anna, the ex President of Mexico, is en gaged in an attempt to get up another revolution in that Republic. From hie present retreat in Cartha geua ha lias issued a manifesto for private circula tion among bis adherents, partisans, and revolution ists generally in Mexioo, Cuba, and elsewhere, de nouncing the present government of Comonfort, tho new constitution, the laws affecting the property and privileges of the clergy, Sec., and announcing that there must be another sanguinary revolution, even though half of the territory of the Republic should have to be sold to supply the sinews of war. Educational Experiment.— Among the many experiments in education now current, it is stated, is one at Antioch College, Ohio. This is a return to the old village school system of promiscuous ad mission to boys and girls. In the case of the Col lege mentioned, young women and young men, to the number of several hundred, are said to bo en joying the privileges of the institution. Railroad Dividend. —The Board of Directors of the South Carolina Railroad Company have de clared a dividend of five per cent, on the earnings of the past six months, being at the rate of 10 per cent, per annum. Heavy Loss.—lt is rumored in London that Sir Baberi Peel, rashly and wildly backing his own bores, Acton, at the late Derby races, lost £70,000 -na is in a state that might be expected in coDee ■ JlieuCc. Sad Casualty —We learn from the Sumter Re ‘hat cn the OtlTinst .the residence of Mrs- MtKiuley, near Danville, Sumter county, Ga., was destroyed by fire, and horrible to relate, Mrs. Mc- Kinley, and child both perished in the flames. The Sonora Victims.— lt is stated in the Mexi can papers the whole number of Americans shot .in Sonora is seventy. It was believed, also, that the lew who escaped perished with huDger, thirst, and exposure. Our Mexican files contain no list of tfieir names, no more do they mention that of the youth whose life was spared. Cot. Matthew Irvine Keith, a soldier of the war of 1812, and member of the South Carolina Legislature some years since, died in Charleston on F rufay morning. H e was upwards of seventy years of age. The returns of the assessor of Wheeling, Virginia, fur the year 1857, show the total value of the real estate to be $6,299,940; the tax upon the assessment is $26,399.70. Loss op » Schooner. —The schooner J. Bur roughs, bound from Baltimore for Charleston with a atTgo of com, went ashore at Bogue Inlet, near Beaafort, S C., on Thursday last, and became a total log*. The cargo was insured. The Richmond Enquirer says: “The wheat crop h:iS greatly improved in the immediate neighbor hood of Richmond, and on most farms is looking very fine The oat crop promise; to bean abun dant one ; and from present indications, good corn and hay crops may b* expected. Thr Hunker Hill Celebration at Uestnu. the inauguration-of a statute to General Warren, who fell at Bunker Hill, took place in Boston on Wednesday last, the anniversary ot the battle. The weather was cool aud cloudy, making it very agreeable : The procesaion-the main features of which were the military aud Free Masons, the Bunker Hill Monument Association, the Governors of different States, municipal officers and distinguished giies in carriages—was about ouehour in passing a given ■ K»itit. On the route from the biate House to Charlestown, every available spot was occupied by crowds of strangers and citizens. . The Seven! h Regiment of New \ ork was especiaf Iv an object of admiration and received hearty Companies from Providence. Portland, Bowel!, Manchester and other places wete also present, and with a full turn out of the military ot Boston and vicinity, made up a brilliant display. The Free Masons, in their various and imposing re galia, turned out about 1000 strong. The procession reached the monument grounds at about I o’clock, where a pavilion, capable of holding 7,000 persons, was immediately tilled, while thousands were unable to press in. The statue of Gen. Warren was within the pavil ion. hidden from view by a tent composed of Ameri can flags, and facing the speakers’ platform. Previous to the commencement of the services an invitation was extended to the Seventh Kegiment. (New York National Guard) to march through the pavilion and view the statue—it being their only opportunity—as they were ordered home by Gov. King this afternoon. The inauguration exercises then commenced by prayer from President Walker, of Harvard College, which was followed by an original ode, finely sang, by the Daniel and Hayden Society of Boston. Hon. Edward Everett was then introduced, when the statue was uncovered, the band playing the ‘ Star Spangled Banner." Mr. Everett then pro ceeded to deliver his inauguration address, which was a most eloquent effort. A brief extract from the opening and concluding portions of it wiil be read with interest: Prudent, resolute, fearless, not yet thirty-two years of age, Warren was in reality, as President of the Provincial Congress of Massachusetts, and Chairman of thn Committee of Safety, the efficient head of the patriot cause in New England. In ad dition to these important offices, three days before the battle of the 17th of June, he was chosen Major General of the Massachusetts troops. He was him self opposed to the occupation of Bunker Hill, but that measure having been resolved upon by the Council of War, Warren determined to support it with his presence, aud if need should be, his blood. Mr. Gerry, his associate in the Committee of Safe ty, in conference with him on the 16ih, strongly dis suaded his joining the detachment whieh had beeu ordered on this eventful errand. “It will be mad ness,” said he, ‘‘to expose yourself where deatruc tion will be alt but inevitable.” “I am aware ot this,” said Warren, “ but I live within tbs sound of the cannon. How could I hear tbeir roaring iu such a cause and not be there ?" Again Mr. G-rry re monstrated and concluded with saying, ll As surely as yon go to the hill you will be slain." Warren’s reply was — Dulce el decorum est pro parlria mori. It is sweet and becoming to die for the country. That day, the lGth, lie passed at Watertown, the seat of the Provincial Assembly, remaining there the greater part of the night, in the discharge of the public business. At 5 o clock, on the morning ot the 17th tie rode to Cambridge, aud suffering severi ty from headache, threw himself on the bed for a tit tle repose, the last he ever took on earth. When intelligence reached Cambridge that the enemy was in motion, it was communicated to him by Genera! Ward. He rose from his bed—declared that he was well, mounted his horse and rode to Charlestown Just elected a Maior General, he repaired to the field as a volunteer —refused the command which was tendered to him by Putuain and Prescott—in quired where the attack would be most formidable, and placed himself there—among the foremost in eonfl ct, among the last in the lingering retreat, tiii he was struck with a bullet in the bead, aud fell to rise no more. Ttie next morning ‘lie body was b und by I)r. Jeffries and General Winslow, who visited the field, and who saw the spot where it was furied. The following spring, after the departure of the royal forces, the honored remains, identified by sure indications, were re interred with appropriate fu neral ceremonies in Boston. The pall was borne by General Ward aud other distinguished associ ates in aims sud the opening words of Morton, the eulogist—“lllustrious relics! what tidings from the grave!’’—produced a thrill in the audience whieh dung through life to the memory oftuose who heard it. In the official account of tho battlo, prepared a ehort time afterwards, at the instance of the Com rnittee of Safety, Major General Joseph Warren is named first among the dead, r. 3 tho man “whose memory will be endeared to his countrymen, and to the worthy in every part aud age of the world, so long as virtue and valor shall be esteemed among mankind." Eighty-two years have passed awa> since these prophetic words were uttered, and we now behold a pledge of their fulfilment, ia the great assembly gathered to do honor to hir name, and in t he attendance of so many of the most distinguished of our community, and of the land. The melancholy tidings of the death of Warren was received with the most, poignant grief iliroueli out the country, aud it may be doubted .whoMrer the most brilliai t success ou Bunker Hill could have done as much to bind the colonies together, as thi noble, though in its immediate results unavailing, resistance ; the profuse, though at the time unproUt abie outpouring of human blood. A great revolution must be inaugurated with a great sacrifice ; and all the loftier passions are en nobled by the purification of sorrow ; nor is it cer tain that Warren, had he assumed the command aud driven the euemy back to bis boats, would have done as much to kindle a chastised and resolute en thusiasm throughout the country, and unite the colo nies in the impending struggle, as when lie shou! dered his musket und fell In the ranks. Aud, oh 1 my friends, let the lesson of frateruaPnfiectioii which he taught us in his death be repeated iu the persua sive 6ilence of those stony lips. In his own heart stirring language, let “the voice of our fathers’ blood cry to us from the ground;" and upon I his sacred day aud on this immortal hill, let it proclaim "Truce of the God.” Wherever else the elements of discord may rage, iet the billows sink down and the Btorm be hushed, like yonder placid waves at the foot of Bunker ilili. Here let thekindly feelings that animated our fathers revive in the bosoms of their sons, assured that—should “malice, domestic or foreign levy” in vade us—if living champions should fail, that monu mental cheek would burn with the glow of patriot ism, that marble sword would leap from its scab bard, aud the heaving sods of Bunker Hill give up their sheeted regiments to the defence of the Union ! A New Kind of Brick. —The Austin (Texas) Times notices the construction of a house in that vicinity out of a new kind of brick, not burnt, but the clay element united by some mechanical pro cess, the discovery of a Mr. Raymond. The cost of the walls will be fifty per cent, less than ordinary burnt brick work. The ingredients combined with the clay, it is said, give it Lufficlent consistency within twenty-four hours after the time of mould ing. Tried in Seven States and how it has Worked. —The Maine law, (says the Providence Post) has been fairly tried in seven States of the American Union, and in every one it has proved a complete failure. From the eastern boundury of Maine to tiie western line of Michigan, it Los not permanently closed a single grog-shop In Rhode Island there are three grog-t hops to-day where there was one when the law was enacted. In Maine the law has been repealed. National Agricultural Exhibition. —The fifth annual exhibition of the United States Agri cultural Society is announced to be held at Louis ville, Ky., during the first week in September, com raeucing on the lit and ending on the sth, which is to be a national affair, open to exhibitors from all parts of the Union. The list of premiums is very large, embracing everything conneoted with tho agricultural interests generally. Any required in formation in regard to entering articles for exhibi tion, may be obtained by addressing ihe Secretary, B. P. Poore, at Boston, or the Assistant Secretary, L. A. Whitelit, at Louisville, Ky. The Quickest Railroad Train in America.— The Michigan Central Railroad Company are now running a lightning train from Chicago to Detroit daily, upon their single track, which for speed and regularity, is unequalled on any read in America. The train leaves Chicago at 6 A. AT., makes ten j stops and reaches Detroit at 3 P. M.. making that place in nine hours from Chicago, including stops, a distance of 282 miles. The first day on which this train came through, the 25th Mey, it arrived at the Detroit depot on time, to the very minute, and since then has been promptly up to time each day. This is quicker time by some two or three miles an hour, than is made upon either the New York Central or the Hudson River roads, both of which have a dou ble track. Under this state of facts the people of Michigan may well point with pride and satisfaction to the Michigan Central Railroad as one of the best roads iu tue United States. The consumption of spirits by her Majesty 's loyaj subjects in Canada is enormous. A recent return shows that the quantity of proof spirits manufac tured in Canada Las increased from 2,759,200 gal. lona in 1855, to 3,267,381 gallons in 1856. This does not include the inferior spirits manufactured. Os the above quantity for 1856, 2,448,613 gallons wern made in upper Canada, and 818,768 gallons iD Low er Canada. Besides the large quantities imported about three gallons of proof whiskey on an ave rage were consumed in 1856, by every man, woman and child in Canada West. It is said that the Mormons have adopted a new alphabet of thirty six letters for thair own use, for the purpose of raising up a barrier between the Saints and Gentiles. Incestuous marriages between the nearest of kin are tolerated. . The Flt.—The Cecil Democrat has heard of one gcntlenlan in Sassafras Neck who has plowed up his wheat and planted the field in Corn. In parts of Kent county also some fields will not be cut at all, but turned into pasture. Not for many years has the fly been so destructive to the wheat in this State. Eighty, says the Democrat, were taken from one stalk last week, plucked from a field near Easton. | Serious Delusion. —The Southside (Ya.) Dem ocrat learns that in the vicinity of Prince George, some negroes have actually gone mad owing to religious fever in regard to the comet that wai to come on Saturday, but did not. They have been placed in custody and otherwise secured to prevent harm. Health or Hon. James C. Dobbin. —A letter re cently received in Washington from Fayetteville, N. C., states that the health of this gentleman is slowly improving. His cough is stili troublesome, but “his general health is better.” This will be most agreeable news to his numerous friends. Cecil Countt Licenses. —The Clerk of the Cir cuit Court for Cecil oounty, received for licence* from Ist December, 1856, to Ist June, 1857, $6,- 536.33 J. This shows an increase of $212.33 over the sums received for licences from Ist December, 1855, to Ist June, 1856. Mr. Consul Barclat to be Reinstated. Tne New Yoik correspondent of the Charleston Courier states that private advices from Washing ton announce that Mr. Anthony Barclay, who was recalled at the instance of the late administration, has been invited to return to this country and as sume his former position as her Majesty’s Consul at New York, by Gen. Cass, Secretary of State. This is reliable, inasmuch as the telegraphic despatch haa been received by one of his sons. Sickness in the Interior.— The Sandersville Georgian says there is an unusual amount of sick ness at this time in Washington and the adjoining counties. All the diseases are said to assume a ty phoid form. Congressional Nominations. —The Americans of Louisiana have made the following nominations for Congress : First Congressional pistric*, Hon. George Eustis, Jr. Seoend Congressional District, Glondy Burke. Third Congressional District., G. W. Watemsw. Tbe New York,Police Wnr. The difficulties which have been for oomc thr o past agitating the citizens of New York have at last broken out into actual riot and bloodshed. 1 will be remembered that, at the last session, tu Legislature of New Yoik passed what is called the Metropolitan Police Bill, whose essential features were, that it took from the hands of \e people ol the city the election of the Police Commissioners, and declared that they should be appointed by tin Governor of the State. There % is little doubt bat that this action of the Legislature (which is at rough Black Republican) was a mere political trick, t > control the election of the city of York. The Police Commissioners were appointed by Governo' Ki sg, but the policemen appointed* by then! wer not recognized by various of the duly elected city authorities and their action has been resisted and various appeals made to the courts of the city. On Tuesday lost, Mr. CostovßK, who had been np pointed Street Commissioner, by the Governor, tit tempted to take possession of the office of that func tionary, when he was ejected, by order of Mayor Wood. A warranter the arrest of the Mayor, on a charge of assault auefbattery, was then taken out. The scene which followed is thus described: Captain Trailing of the Metropolitan police, then attempted to arrest the Mayor on the process, but the Mayor relused to recognize him as an officer Upon these returns being made to the Recorder,ln issued a requisition on the Metropolitan Felice Com missioners for fifty men, which was speedily tilted, and the men marched down to the Paris. with long clubs, under command of Sergeant Seebring, of the 9th ward police, The report that a process had beeu issued for tin arrest of the Mayor and others, spread with great rapidity, and in a few moments th >nsauds from id* parts of the city were seen wending their way ihe City Hall, in addition to the hundreds 'jho had al ready congregated of them having bee? present watching for an outbreak since the early morning. In addition to the citizens on • their wav toward the Park, several platoons of Municipal p - licemen were also on their way from the various wards tow ard the City Hall with all possible dis patch. Before the arrival of the Metropolitan police, tlx City Hull was guarded with between five and si\ hundred of the Municipals, and every avenue load ing thereto was well guarded, so that no pereo! could by any possibility effect an entrance without the police saw fit to permit them to pass. Immediately • n the arrival of the M tropolitm. force at the foot of the steps in the rear of th- Hall, they were shoved back by the solid phalanx of Mu nicipals, with expressions such as, “go-baek, you forts to pass up the steps of the City Hah, and wer* repulsed each time in not a very polite or agreeable manner. The last time they were repulsed, ns th Municipals shoved on them, one of the Metropoli tans raised his hand as in the act of catching hold -ot or striking one of the Municipals. TLis was the signal for a genera!"melee. The Mu nicipals rushed upon tlnir adversaries, and com inenced an onslaught upon them with their clubs knocking down and beating all who came in theii way. The affray lasted but a very short time, but so hot, was the contest that a large number of ti • Metropolitans were very badly injured, some three or four of them, it is said, fatal y. One man named Grawford, of the lfyh Waid Police, 58 years of age. wap knocked from the steps. I was taken up am conveyed into the Reserve Corps room connect<-»! with the Chiefs office, where Ids ii juries were at tended to by Dr. Giliigau and Surgeon Gen. Has brouek, alter which he waa sent to his residence ii Forsyth street. The fighting being over, they again retired t their quarters on ifiefleps of tte City Hall and i side of the building, leaving the iiytired men t taken from tbe ground by tneir friends.' T ~ were too much injured to get off the ground:: • selves were then taken up by the J>y elai ders* u: ibeir fellow-officers. The ground where the fight took olace was pretty well strewn with blood and tilts relics of the figh’* The intelligence spread throughout the city like wildfire, and hundreds of people from all quarter? began to rush towards the scene of anticipated strif under the impression that the City Hal! was in an actual state of bombardment; everything, how ever, passed oft very quietly, and it being under stood that several regiments of the military were ready for active duty at a moment’s warning, Col. Duryea was permitted to march his regiment fronr die place, soon alter which most of tho mob dis persed. The excitement in N. York on Wednesday waa no leßsthan that of the day previous, but there was uo rioting or bloodshed. We give tbe following conden sed account, which sufficiently embodies all the par ticulars: The Park was early crowded, and thousands thronged the neighborhood of the Hall all day. Tin first demonstration was at, the Street Commission er’s office, where Mr. Conover again attempted to enter; but, tiudiug Mr. Devlin a determined man. be retired. Ctiarges of assault and battery and riot were next made against Mr. Turner, who was ar rested and held to bail by the .Recorder in $5,090. Captain Bennett was also arrested on uimilai •barges and held to bail m $5,000, and a warrant was issued for Alderman Wilson. A council of wu: between the Recorder, Gen. Saudford, and the Al bany Commissioner, was held near noon, and it w at determined to arrest the Mayor on charges prefer red by ex-Captain Wallingand Coroner Perry, th«i lie lmd resisted the servico of process. Deputy Carpenter went to make the arrest, but the Mayoi wouldn’t surrender—not recognizing Carpenter a* an officer. Deputy Carpenter, ex (la t. Speight. Gen. and Col. Sanford then waited on the Alayot with the warrants, and found Mr. Wood in the cus tody of the Sheriff, unde r the warrant issued on coin plaint of Conover. Gen Saudford stated th ir it rand, when it was agreed that the Sheriff shoe! take the papers and keep the Mayor in I is custody until the termination ot the habeas corpus proceed mg pending before Judge Russell. In case th- Judge discharged the Mayor from arrest* Sherifl Willett undertook to bring his prisoner beforo the Recorder to give bail on the charges of Walling am - Perry. If the Mayor refused to go in the Shoi ill custody, then Gen. Sandlord engaged to take him with the military force. The papers were next pu by the Metropolitan officers into the hands of tin Sheriff, the Mayor, it was understood, consenting t consider it a legal service of process. The Alba tiiaus then retired and reported progress. Meanwhile, tlio hearing of tlie argument on tin writ of habeas corpus issued on application of the Mayor to show cause why he should not bedi charged from the custody of the Sheriff, came uj before Judge Russell, pursu nt to adjournment at 2 P.M. J udge Dean made >n able argument in favor of the Mayor’s claim, and Mr. District Attor ney Hall opposed the application. At half past fix r the Judge adjourned the hearing until 3 P M. to day. The Metropolitan people anxiously watched the progress of this case, as they intended to attempt the arrest of the Mayor as soon as a decision war rendered. A hurried despatch wor'senl to Boston lor the Governor and National Guard, and five huu dred special policemen were sworn in. The Mayoi anticipated the onset, and had nine hundred police men in the Park. The excitement was very great, and a momentary collision was expected. Judge Russell’s adjournment of the case put a new face on the matter. As no immediate disturbance we;- likely Gen. Saudford countermanded the order foi the return of the National Guard. The police fore* on both sides went back to their stations, the nnli tary were temporarily dismissed, the crowd uis persed, and by sundown every thing was quiet usual—the public buildings guarded inside by strong forces of police, but outside apparently ddfeert ed. At evening roll-cell, 13 men ot the lfith ward went over to the Albany side. At halfmast 9 the 71st Regiment retunied£rom New burg. At nearly one o’clock this morniDg the Governor arrived Iron Boston, and after a short conversation with Com missioner Draper, retired to the residence of hit son-in-law for the night. At half-past two o'clock this morning there was do appearance of a disturb ance anywhere, and a drenching rain bid defiance to crowds. The South Carolina College. At the late meeting of the Board of Trustees o the South Carolina College a resolution, proposing the re-organization of the institution on the Univer sity plan, met with the approbation of the Board Col. W. C. Preston, who offered the the resolu tion, proposed the following modifications of the educational system: He recommended the establishment of fourteen schools, or professorships—each professor to have h salary of one thousand dollars, and to receive ten dollars from each student entering h s echoed, which should be a perquisite in addition to his fixed salary —so t hat one hundred students entering the sell, m of a professor would give him an income of $2,000, and so on. The number of students would thus depend upon the reputation, ability arid attractiveness of the pro fessor, and make his emolument commensurate wit h his merit. This stimuloua of interest Mr. Preston thought desirable for the professors, while the fixed moderate salary would relieve the enterprise from the character of a mere rit*k. This Mr. P. said, wa the plan at the University of Edinburg. Each student matriculated in the College should 1 be required to enter in at least throe schools, and the fee of matriculation be should sls for the whole course, while the student continues in College, se curing to eim the privileges of the Library, appara tus, and use of the rooms. Thus the permanent appropriation for fourteen professorships would be $14,000. The matriculn tion fee for 300 students would give $4,500, which would be enough to keep the public property in re pair; while the tioke. for three schools, S3O, and the fee of matriculation, sls. would be less than tin tuition charge now paid. Tlie public appropriatioi would be diminished SIO,OOO, and the charges upon the students ten per cent. The following were his suggestions, as to the schools: 1. A School of Law. ** 2. Os Medicine. 3. Os Nat ural Philosophy 4. Os Natural History. 5. >3f Mathematics. 6. Os Engineering. 7. Os Chemistry. 8. Os Geology and Paleontology. 9. Os Belles-Lettres and Rhetoric. 10. Os History and Political Economy. 11. Os Greek and Latin. 12. Os Hebrew and Cognate Languages. 13. Os French, German aud Modern "Languages. 14. Os Moral Philosophy and Metaphysics. The selection of these schools would be voluntary, and without any prerequisites except of moral stand ing. , . The standing of the students ip their respective schools would be ascertained by two yearly exami nations, at which the degree of proficiency shall b< marked from 1 to 9, and those who attain Uk mark of 1, 2 or 3, may receive a certificate ©f proficiency The’diploma of the College shall be conferred ex mSHto, upon a final examination, having attended three schools for two years. The proposition was referred-fco the consideration of committee, to be imported upon at the next meeting of the Board. Forthcoming Work.—ll. D. NoRP£Lr v has in press and will soon is-ue u work entitled ‘‘EtA.e Somers, or The Fate of the Union,” writ‘en by a citizen of,Augusta. A? a story, the extracts which we have seen give evidence of a work of more than ordinary interest. We can only give a single para graph, as a specimen of its language and general style: “For years,’* said Ethel, “I have watched the varying features of ray father’s face, when ponder ing the dangers which impend like a storm of ruin over the fortunes of our Southern land. Often ha he unfolded truths so grand and solemn, that 1 shuddered while hanging in suspense upon hi*; trist ful ifrords. It is natural, that a girl like me, should catch the thoughts of a ond dud tender father upon any subject, and believe with I im. lie has toldine often, that the Union is endangered— hat the nobit structure of our government ia tottering toils base The danger is internal. United—leagued in peace and holy brotherhood, the States of our Union oou! defy the world without. Torn—distracted—discor dant—they would paralyze each other’s strength, and if not made the prey of external enemies, wou o drench the land in civil blood. This dread ul feud — this dark m dignity of impending fate—is justly chargable to our Northern neighbors. They 1 ave dug an almost impassible gulf between the hearts, the faith, and the fortunes ot the free, and the slave States, by assailing the rights of the latter, wilic undefended, would etain them with dishonor, an j consign them to political ruin.
