Death of Mr. Grant.— lt is with the deepest
regret we announce the decease of Mr. E H. Grant,
who expired at about 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon.
It will be recollected that ou the 31st ult Mr. Grant,
in a rencounter with F. A. Goodwin, received a
severe stab from the latter with the sword of a

strong expectations w*ere entertained that he would
recover, but at tha* hour he commenced growing
rapidly worse, and expired ytsterday at t e time

“The 1m Deuce crowd—unparalleled among the
eighty two commencements at this place—is fast
melting away. Everybody seems to have been

would have carried him by storm long ago.
‘ The President had a grand reception yesterday
under ‘the old Poplar,’ in the Campus, and numbers
ot his Southern fellow-citizens pressed to shake his
Leary hand, and he has frequently and emphati
cally expressed hi 6 great gratification at his cour
teous, well ordered and cordial reception and enter

“Eighty-six yovcg men received the degree of A
B . in the presence of President Buchanan—and
each was presented by the President of the I niver

•as the chart of their way to eternal life'—furnished
at his own cost. Two of these young men were
Messrs Fetler and MeCiamotir, and were not ab

touching the institution of slavery in the United
States:
1 That slaves are recognised by the Constitution
of the United States in the ( haracter of persons
3. That eiave are represented in Congress, as
persons.
3. That as persons, they are, Jr, 'many instances,
at least, eobjeet to certain liabilities, and invested
with the rights corresponding to those liabilities, in
the game way that other, per -as are.
4 That among these liabilities are those which
render them amenable to trial and punishment for
crimes and misdemeanors , and among these rights
is the right of legal protection against persona! in
jury.
•* That the Constitution of the United States also
reeogni.iee slavery as property.

tled to the protection of the law,” i. e. the laws of

Moun* Vernon as Washington left it, by restoring
it according to his plans, and watching ever its re

Who will or me to our help? Who will assist in

pass away—to crumble into nothingness under the
desolating touch of unheeded Time. A iw, all can
be restored—and Mount Vernon can arise, another
Ft. vlx, in renova’ed youth and beauty. You r
mothers, vonr wives, your sisters, your daughters’
promise you, tbat as Mount Vernon belongs to the

which presides over tbat favored lend, it shall, A o
■julrnte, remain, so far as their cherishing care can
ensnre it, an imperishable memorial of olr great
E.-r and our best. To enable us to do this, we
must have means to arrest the tooth of Time, which
is crunching away at piiiar and at pediment—at
roof acd at foundation.
We must therefore employ workmen to rejuve
nate this sacred spot ; for this we eolicit your aid >
and what more fitting time than the day on which
this Eati u celebrates the liberty that Washington
gave them, to make an offering tt his shrine. Let
it be a simultaneous one—let the widow's mite be
thrown in with the rich man's generous offering—
let the calculation of age and the impulse of youth
alike find this the happy occasion to commemorate
a Nation’s gratitude. May we proudly least that
not a cily, town, village, or hamlet, iu this wide
spread Union neglected to lay an offering upon the
altar cf Patriotism. There can be no need to multi
ply words—ft must be only necessary that proper
persons be appointed in each place to receive con
tributions, and make it theirduty to forward them
to the Vice Begeut of their State—and Georgia, the
Empire State, will not, must not, be laggard in this
race of honor; first in the contest, will she not lead
in the march of triumph ! Oil for a trumpet tongue
that you might be led to victory ! How far you
can be influenced, the record of the IthofJuly 1559,
will tell—for tbat we must in patience wait.
We presume the otject is known to all, that it is
to secure, as an inheritance, to the people of Ame
rica, along with the liberty which he gave to them,
the beloved Home of Washington and his sacred
Grave ; to s mure it in beauty—to wall it around
with the names of the children of America, a pha
lanx through which even Old Time himself cannot
break ! The property within those names will be
long to the names that guard it—it will be kept as
he planned it, and kept always in the order left—a
sacred memorial not subject to the vicissitudes
of fortune. Nothing but the subjugation of our
land by a foreign power—and who dares contem
plate that as a possibility—can affect its ..rosperity
until the the trumpet shall sound, and the dead
shall come forth, and then, if spirit eyes can dwell
on earthly things with pleasure, bow will the heart
and eyes of our Washington glow, when he steps
forth upon his beloved Vernon in the glories of Lis
new made immortality, and sees it fresh and beauti
ful as when he laid him down to reet countless years
beiors, aud kuous that it lithe work and tender
care of thoße for whose liberty he toiled , and to
whom, though dead, be spoke ever, not only iu the
gifts that he gave, but iu the imperishable Welds
tbat he left. Is not this, my friends, worth striving
for 1 Picture to your mind this resurrection morn
—this one moment of Heaven here for Washington
before he enters upon the eternal glories of the
upper sky, and feel that it will be your grateful
memories that will have done it. Would not this
repay all you can do'? but if even now he can be
hold our labors of love, can mark the decay brood
ing over the cherished home of his earthly happi
liess, and see how we strive for ite restoration,
should it not a thousand fold add to the measure of
our exertions ? Per up he braved everything—for
him we risk nothing —we only give a mite. When
we heai’ of thpUEpuds of dollars given to other and
not more worthy objects, as single donations, ap4
can count the most of ours by cents, the heart with
in us cinks sorrowiully, and we feel that our labor
meets not its reward ; shall it continue thus ? Geor
gians, our appeal is made, it remains for your acta
to show how it is received.

In the “Agricultural Department” of the first is

Ijis readers to ‘ beware of being humbugged into

Honey Blade,” and quotes from a co.respcadent cf

equally solicitous on the same subject.
As agent for this description of grass seed, I have
taken the trouble to ascertain whether the frequent
attacks made upon it through the columns of the

sult of my enquiries is, that ils increasing populari
ty materially interfered with the sales of another

has a description of grass sped better ailapted thau

The Appointment <vf Judge Stephens.
Mr. txditch . —Jn the Constitutionalist, of the
sth inst., I notice a communication in which it is
said, that the appointment of the Hon. Linton
Stephens to the bench of the Supreme Court,
“seems to have been received by the press andthe
people with unqualified satisfaction.” I have not
read many of Ihe newspapers, but the appointment
has received no expression of approval in any pa
per I have seeu. save tfie article referred to. And
I presume tiie writer of the article quoted from has
taken an expression of opinion of a portion of the
citizens about Sparta, for the voice of the whole
people; lor I can assure you that I have been
in several counties, and have heard a great many
persons speak of Mr. Stephens’ appointment, and,
with one exception, it has met with unqualified dis
approbation. One of the main causes of dissatis
faction is, it is reported that Mr. Stephens agrees
with Judge Benning in opinion on the “ Bank ques
tion,” and this is assigned as a reason for bis ap
pointment. If these tilings be so, the people ought
to know it. No one who endorses the opinion of
Judge Benning can be indorsed by the people, for
they are, outside of the Columbus influence, almost
unanimously in favor of compelling the stockhold
ers, of the broken, swindling concerns, to pay their
liabilities.
Can the eulogist of Judge Stephens inform the
public whether the rumors mentioned are true •’ —
The question has been so often before the Supreme
Court, so much talked about by the people, and
the opinion of Judge Beuuiug so uniformly con
demned by the bar of Georgia, I doubt not Judge
Stephens has formed au opiuion on it. aud it would
be gratifying to the people to know that bis opin
ion is in agreement with Judge Lumpkin’s. Sure
ly one so familiar with the history of Judge Ste
phens, as the writer referred to, can give some in
formation on this important question.

Koe-M TH AND THE WaP..— NEI’TRALITV OF Eng
land.—Louie Kossuth lately made a speech at
Manchester, England, concerning the war in Italy
The following is a brief sketch of its main points:
He counseled England to a strict neutrality in
the present contest, not, however, from any regard
to the interests of England, but iu the conviction
that the sympathies of the Britien rulers are with
Austria. ‘lie distinctly charges them on this score,
main aining that they have never expressed a word
of friendliness or anxiety in regard to the late ol
Italy, while they had manifested the profoundeat
solicitude for Austria.
Kossuth's position is, of course, that of a Hunga
rian. He hopes to see the ferments and agitations
ot Italy extended to his native country; the House
of Austria is to him the dragon of history, so-ad,
and red with crime, against which be La- thun
dered for years, and he is averse to seeing it
strengthened, even by a moral approval. In this
view the burden of his adoration to England is,
“If you cannot help Italy, for heaven’s sake do not
help Austria, the oppressor of Italy. Do not allow
your prejudices against France and the ruler of
France to place yon on the side of tyranny and
wrong.'’
Kossuth draws an ingenious distinction between
the French and the Austrian governments ; for in
France the despotism is personal and temporary,
while the nation is essentially tree, radiating the
light of science and art to a!! the world; but in
Austria, the despotism is absolute, part and parcel
of the national life, depressing and blighting what
ever comes within ita inliuences. Admitting, how
ever, that the governments are equally odious, that
fact in itself would be an argument against the in
terference of England. If the taskir asters go to
war, say- Kossuth, let ‘bem tear each other to
pieces it they please. He adds, at the same time,
that he knows” nothing us the intentions ot
Napoleon, although he believes that his interests
were all on the side of the Independence of the
nations.
At the close of hia remarks Kossuth intimated
that he might soon be called upon to go to Hunga
ry, and the Vienna correspondent of the London
Times, we perceive, refers to the unquiet state oi
that country.

to feed on water.
T loss: very heavy, reaching fully $: ■. (Ot).
B.i\)l bales of Cotton were burnt, part of which
u- iusured. beeidts aige quantities of baggirg,
rope and other goods on store, the amount of in
surance ou wi. oh we have not teamed.
L is estimated that ot tte amount of Cotton
burned, held by plauters. about fifteen hundred
baiea weie not covered by u France,
There are a variety of e t j-t n-es as to the oti !
gin ot the fire, tie gentra.ly received opinion, j
however, is that it was the wotk of an ineendiarv. j
The Columbus Enquirer ofTbursday morni; g
gives the follow ii.g more detailed statement:
Ab ut a quarter past r ue o'clock on Tuesday
nig. ’ a fire was disc vered breakingout among toe
Cotton stored in the Alabama Warehouse, kept by
Meser . King, Alien A’ Camsk. It spread with
aetcmsuiLgrapidity, appearing to eap across tha
tiers of bales as if oil or turpentine were ihe con
ductor. In a very tew minutts the whole inner
court was blaz'mg, and the heat was too great to
allow of operations inside Leaping across the w&U
that seperateu the Alabama bom the Fonta'.no
Warehouse, tLe latter, under the control of Me.-srs
ilugL Daniel A. Cos , was ytry quickly a<o m a
fast spreading blaze. It was impossible, on account
of the beat aud smoke, tostiy within the wall, and
roil out the cotton into the street, aud probably not
more than twenty bales were saved from the two
warehouses! As nearly ps w ? coil'd ascertain from
gentlemen belonging to these establishments, with
out reference to their books, the following ie a close
proximate report of the cotton destroyed: The Ala
bama Warehouse contained sc-me 5,U50 bales: of
this am.uut about ‘J,500 bales belonged to planters,
and it is presumed that at least fi.OOO bales of their
cotton were uninsured. In the Fontaine Ware
house there were at least 2,500 bales cotton, and
some si"'J bales belonged to planters ate known to
have been uninsured. It is also said that a portion
of the amount stored by cotton buyers was likewise
unprotected. Thcss figures would make a loss of
7.750 bales cottou, worth, at sJ'> per bale, $125 250.
Os bagging, there were probably some 000 bales
burnt—say 200 at the Fontaine aud 100 at the Ala
bama Warehouse.
There were about 100 hiids. of bacon iu the Fon
taine Warehouse, and a large quantity iu the
Alabama. Os tins a considerable portion waa
saved—we cannot yet learn what proportion. A
portion of it is known to have been insured.
Iu the Fontaine Warehouse there was a large
quantity of flour, grain, 4cc, and some valuable
machinery, all belonging to the Fontaine Compa
ny. A portion of this was saved, and all, or nearly
all, insured. The building was also inauied. Tiie
proprietors of this warehouse saved fheir books and
papers, and probably lost only accruing storages oil
the goods destroyed.
The books and papers of Meesis. King, Alien &
Camak, of the Alabama Warehouse, are in a safe,
which yet stands upright and uncovered by the
debris of the lire, and its valuable contents are pro
bably preserved. The older books and papeisof
Mr. Allen, and wo believe cf King & Sorsby, are
in another safe, which appears to have been sub
ject to a very great heat and is yet partially covet
ed by the burning ruics. It is leared that they are
destroyed.
The total loss of all the property is probably in the
neighborhood of sfibtt,ooo—certainly over $b(!0,t)00.
We have not learneu how the amounts insured are
distributed among the Insurance Offices, but it is
to be feared that oue or two of them will be very
seriously damaged.
The several Fire Companies and engines were ou
the spot with their usual alacr ty, but they might
as well have attempted to extinguish a powder
magazine as the fire in the warehouses. They,
however, preserved from the flames the close storage
room on the south-east corner of the Alabama
Warehouse. They also, by great exertion, saved
the hotel of Mr. Whitesides, on Ihe south west cor
ner of the square, and prevented the fire from cross
ing Front street. The hoi ks and ladders of En
gine Cos. No. 1 were found to be very efficient in
this service.
The origin of the fire ia a mystery, but the be
lief is genera! and strong that it was Ihe work of
an incendiary. There is also reason to believe that
the cottou was either fired in several places at
once, or tbat turpent ne or some other highly in
flammable conductor was used to facilitate ite
spread. It ran along from tier to tier almost as if
by a tiain of gunpowder, and in five minutes from
tee first breaking out, was an immense and intense
ly hot conflagration. It was aitog-.ther uncontrol
lable from the very start.

Hail Storm In Coweta County—A letter dated
Newman, June 12th, gives the following account of
a hail storm in Coweta county :
We had one of the severest bail etorrns I ever
saw on the 10th inst., which literally destroyed
several crops of corn and cotton in this neighbor
hood. The hail was generally the size of an English
grape. It was in some Dlaiies washed up by tho
foam from a foot and a half to two feet deep. I
bad some brougiit to the house more than forty
eight hours after it had fallen. T. D. G.
Gen. Twiggs.—The following extract from a
letter from an officer of the army, we find in the N.
O. Picayune :
San Antonio, Texas, June 9,1859.
The General is very much better ; so much so,
tbat he sits up nearly all day. He eats, Bleeps, and
digests well, and is regaining his strength as rapid
ly as could be desired. His attending physicians
(four) thought for ten days that every day would
be bis last; but be has given them, as well as his
friends an agreeable surprise.
We are delighted at his miraculous recovery.
May he five to enjoy a green old age I
Further Fnrticulnrs from the Steamer John G.
Lawton—Six more Bodies Found.
The U. S. steamer Ida, Capt. F. J. Cereopuly,
having been procured, through the kindness of the
Captain, by Mr. J. W. McAlpin, Agent of steamer
John G. Lawton, left the Charleston wharf yester
day morning at 10 o'clock and proceeded to the
plantation of Mr. McAipiD, where they got boats,
axes and saws; they then left for the scene of thc
late disaster, to recover, if possible, the bodies of
the missing. Arriving at the wreck, the search
commenced and continued till late m the day, with
the following result:
The body of Mr. Washington Goette, passenger,
was found floating a short distance from the wreck.
It was taken charge of by Messrs. N. Langford and
Maj. Peeples, who arrived from Purysburg late in
the afternoon, in a row boat. They returned with
it to Silver Hill, S. C. for interment. The body
was much bruised and scalded. In his pockets
were found $313 18, three silver watches, a chain
and key, pocket knife and some- papers, all of
which were turned over to the above parties.
The body of Edward Grant, white deck hand,
had been found before the Ida arrived, and was
tied some distance below to & tree. He had in his
pockets sl3 50, a knife, trunk key, and other arti
cles of little value.
John Williams, colored pilot, ro-e opposite the
wreck, in the middle of the river, just aa the boat
waa arriving. He bad in Ins pockets $9 90 , his
external injury appeared to be very slight.
John Robinson, colored cabin boy, the property
of Mrs. P. Prendergast, had beeu secured to the
wreck a few minutes before the boat's arrival, hav
ing been found floating by some persons who were
there from Purysbnrg.
Richard Seaborough, a f. m. c., deck passenger,
was found by cutting away the forward deck. He
had in hit pockets 71 cents, a watch audehain. His
body was turned over to his brother, who took him
to Purysburg
Joe Stone, colored fireman, the property of F.
M. Stone, of this city, was also found under the
deck, most shockingly mutilated.
All efforts to find T. G. Keebler, and Allen, the
property of Mr. Orman, proved unavailing. The
marsh and the woods ail around the scene of disas
ter were thoroughly searched, and all the forward
deck was entirely cut away, but to no purpose.—
The search was discontinued a r a late hour, and
the boat returned to the city at 9 o'clock last even
ing.
The money and all the articles recovered, not
disposed of as above mentioned, are to be found in
the possession of Mr. J. W McAlpin. Four bodies
were brought to the city and delivered to late friends
or owners
Too much praise cannot be awarded to Captain
Cereopuly, Messrs. J. W. &. A. McAlpin, E. C.
Wade and several other citizens, for their humane
and gratuitous services in searching out the victims
of this terrible disaster.
We are pleased to hear that, with the exception
of Thaddeue Winkler, a. f. m. c., all the wounded
are doing pretty well, and are in a fair way to re
cover. Sir. Orman has lost one eye. but is other
wise getting along favorably.
The boat, with her cargo—the latter amounting to
about five thousand dollars—lb a total loss.
The engineer and all the officers were at their
respective posts ot duty at time ut the explosion, as
has been most satisfactorily established We make
this statement in justice to Mr. Hinely, the engineer,
who the Morning News, in ita report of Saturday,
said was at supper. He had been at supper but as
the bell rang for the engine to move forward to pass
the steamer Excel, he ran down to his engine and
waa there before the explosion, attempting to
the engine off “the centre.” It was this difficulty
that prevented the exit of steam and no doubt gave
rise to the explosioa— Savannah Republican of
T urs day.

LIVERPOOL, May 27.— Grain—' The tone of the
Grain market has been excoeuiugly quiet since the pub
licatiou of our circular of the iiOtb inst., aud prices have
been very irregular, with a downward tendency. The
dernana for coneamption has been limited, and specula
tors have sbow’u little desire to increase their holdings,
unless at a reduct ion. There is no disposition, however,
to press eales, and at a decline of Gd per cental oa the
prices <>f this day week ior all articles, there aienot
uiftuy sellers. At our market this morning the attend
ance was extremely limned, and the business transacted
so trilling as hardly to oiler a test of prices. Wheat

day. or 4d per cental bel w the prices of this day week

LIVERPOOL, May 27 —Hostilities having begun the
progress of the war is watched with great interest. As
the parties are so equally matched it will probably tie a
tedious affair, but if gie.at reverses should occur on one
Hide or the ot her, other parties are likely to join in the,
melee. Trade with the Continent continues to be in
complete abeyance. The produce market ia very dull
and most prices are lower. Money has become abuu
dant and may be had on lower terms upon unexception
able securities and for short periods.
Cotton—^' There has been a fair demand, especially to
wards the end of the week, but there has been a good
deal of irregularity in prieea of American descriptions;
for really clean and good stapled the decline is trilling,
but on the inferior grades, the short stapled, and the
sandy, we must make a decline of fully au ’ per pound,
indeed such is the disinclination o i the part of the trade
to touch them that pricss for these are all but nominal.
We quote middling Orleans 6]d, Uplands (> Id, Brazils
are heavy at a reduction of ]d. per pound, and Egyp
tians arc lower by ]d per pound. In Jurats the holders
have submittcc to a decline of ]-d®3*l6 per pound, and
that has induced more business. Exporters have taken
4781) bales, speculators 1670 bales, and the Trade 45,540
bales. To day’s demand is fair, the sales amounting to
8000 bales.
Manchester.—Our market is very quiet, the only
demand existing is for India goods at former prices, but
ia all other productions the tendency is towards lower
rates, arid sales to any extent could not be made with
out concessien. Yarns are much depressed; prices are
very irregular, and are agaiu ]®]d lower; iu many
cases even a greater decline has been submitted to. The
demand for India is considerable, but the total absence
of Continental orders presses severely on the market
The accounts of extensive inundations in the Colton re
gion of the Mississippi do not induce our spinners to in
crease their purcuases of the raw material, seeing Chat
the inundations of last year did not prevent the largest
crop ever made Dom being secured.— Stoltcrfoht, Sons

the Planters generally, wherever they Lave been ex

this county has been purchased by Mr. JOHN BOYD,
much to our satistaction, as >ve intend using them on
our farms, believing they offer better-facilities to the
planter as preparing, planting and cultivating Plows,
than auy that we have seen ; and we do not wonder
