Columbus <&mptw. JOHN H. MAll'flH,'... ...Miloi Tuesday Morning, Feb. 21, 1660 Our River Trade. The other day we copied from the A pa lachicola Timet an article conceding thi revival of the Chattahoochee river trade. In this connection, we may mention thi encouraging fact that it ia contemplated build at this place, during the coming au rorr and fall, two or three new eteatnboi well adapted to our river navigation, leaat one of there, we learn, ie to lie, lik< ■ the Hiver Bride, a email boat peculiarly fitted for navigating tbe river at a low etag. of the water. We are convinced that the trade of Colombee need*, and will be greatly promoted by, more regular and certain communication with Apalachicola and New Orleaae vie the Chattahot chee river. The eatabliihraent of one reguD ateam pocket between Apalachicola New Orleane liae already done much to demonstrate the importance and economy of this trade. Let tbe communication by riser between this city and Apalachicola La rendered certain and constant enough to justify it, and we ahall toon have two o more steamships running regularly belwet Apalachicola and New Orleans, and nn quote cotton at $2 per halo and New Or leans freight st $1 per barrel as the regular freight charges between Olumbui New Orleans. When this rale it estab lished as a regular coinmsrcial standard, what port in Georgia will offer facilities superior to Columbus as either a cotton- shipping point or a market for the purchase of Western groceries f In direct, cheap and reliable communication with the great cotton mart and Wgalern produce depot oi the country, our city could defy all efforts to divert her trade, and could grarp, with Driarian arms, the trad# or sections that for many years have not bad a representative Wagon in her atresia. And tbe thing can be done—easily done. We need only the right kind of steamboats on the Chattahoochee to accnrnplirh it. Cur beautiful river invitee navigation for nine or ten months in the year at least, and thero ia no more reason to conclude that, il navigated longer in the summer and fall, it would not pay, than there is to assert that the railroads to Savannah and Montgomery will not pay during that part of the year. Wo know that they will and do pay during the "dull aesaon"— so called chirfly because plantera and othera are now obliged to do most of their forwarding and trading in the winter and spring. Dut lot the regular and cheap cemmunication wah Naw Or- leant ho established, and it would build up lor itself a remunerative business and glad den our merchants with tho impartation of such an impetus to their trsdc as no other improvement could afford. The March Convention. The "signs" indicate that there will be eentest in tbe approaching Democratic State Convention, between the frienda of Hon. Howell Cobb and tbede of Hon. Alex. H. Stephens, home counties Lava instructed their delegates to support Stephen others have declared an adherence to Cobb. Stephens will derive sir advantage from tin feet that the friends of Cobb are divided— fomr of them resolving to go into the Convention and maka an effort for their favorite there, whilst others repudiate the March Convention altogether and deter mine to insist on the regularity and priority of that of December, which nominated Cobh. It is • fight in which we leel no special internal, and we are rather surprised that anybody should got at all excited about it, seeing that neither Stephens nor Cobh nde much chance to get tbe Charleston nomination, and that the real question of mporlance is, who is to ho the second choice of the delegates appointed 1 The pretence of gelling eny Georgian nominated ia "all foi iiuncomb"—ffitended to "rope i y gudgeons as possible. Mr. Hickman of I'a. Tbe telegraph advises us of a report prevailing at Washington, that Mr. Kd> roundson had caned Hickman, at some piece in Kentucky, for remarks disparaging to Virginia made by the latter at tbo §< enade to Speaker Pennington. We bi cot out a report of Hickman's remarks • the occasion referred to, with a view noticing them, before this rutfi nr reach' us. It is worthy of remark that Hickmi was the only rnan called up by that serci ading parly, who said anything bitter insulting Inwards tbe Houlb. Sherman w gsntleraanly, dignified and conciliatory and Mr. Pennington’s speech was quite conservative and Union-loving.

Every account of hia polit- tecedents, Whether given by a Dlack Hepublican or a Democrat, concurs in show' ing that bis association with the Republic tominal merely. Jin waa hot run for Congress aa a Dlack Hepublican, but N>|.|e’e Party*’ man, which party embraced some of the most consrrvutivi of Ihe North, Pennington being esteemed as one of them, lie is known to ho in favor of tho perpetuation and rigid forcemmt of the Fugitive Slave law, and i* seid that he bus recently declared that has no objection to the establishment slavery in any territory adapted to it. hough tins chart of political principles docs not com6 up to the rightful demands of the Mouth, il Isys down a diatinct and well-defined d< flection ftora tbe beaten track of black Republicanism; it repudiates the underground railroad as a political highway, arid ignores indiscriminate squatter sover eignty. In the appointment of ihs stand ing committees of ilia House, Speaker Pennington was of coursa hound to recog nize the domination of tbe party that elected him, but he hue nevertheless so cousiiiutcd llieiii aa to givo general dissatisfaction to the ilepublieans. The cause of this is that ons or two moderate men on each of nearly all Iho important committees hold tho balance and can control their action ; tho arbitrary and ultra supremacy of tho llluck Republicans ia thus circuqivonted. Another gratifying luct ia that tho Speaker has, in hia constitution of the committees, evidently recognized thn Southern Opposi tion psity aa »a powor" in the House, though hut a single one of them voted for him. No such rrcognition of the Southern Americans ae a parly can he found in the constitution of the committees ol the Isst by Mr. Speaker Urr, a Southern Democrat. Mr. .McC'lernaud, on the other hand, is a Douglas squatter sovereignly man, in lavor ol giving to tho Territorial Legislatures of all the 'J'cnitorief a license to run out slavery by “unfriendly action,” and he halongs to a squad of politicians who agitate thia question us an eleciionetiring policy. It ia a policy mora rifo with mischief and danger than any other system ol warfaro on slavery yet proposed. Congressional prohibition can no longer be effected j it is a specter that nerd no knger affright tho country. And if it should ever he resorted to, the South will most assuredly resist it even to diasoiuiion. Dut iquatier sover eignty lives aud moves,- it is even now doing ita work in some of the Territories; and tho South cannot successfully fight so insidious an aggression. Many of the black Republicans prefer it to Congress ional intervention, and probably fully one- hall of them aro now ready to accept it as thsir preferable “remedy," but are restrained by the knowledge that such an open chango just now would put Douglas at the head ol their column. We repeat, therefore, our conviction that Pennington is a better man for tho South than McClernaud, mul we are surprised that Southern Democrats voted for the lattar. Well did Pugh, Dunham, Kent, Gurry, Cloplon, and other Southern Rights Democrats, rcluae to volt* for him. Wo are gratified that only one Southern Opposition mail (bouligny of La.) supported him. fhrft If’it will require ilm Stale of Vtiginia in arms to lake old John Drown teen mdn and one cow—[crios of ‘Good’] — it will at leaat require mure than tho fifteen feeble States ot the South to succctalully compete with the eighteeh mighty Stales the North. [Cheers ] I preach hut or doctrine—il is the doctrine that I preach i all times, and in all places, and what I aay in Pennsylvania I am not nlraid to detlur in the City ol Washington—[chceraj — 1 au; that there is no power in tha combined Stales of the South, when combined the banner of disunion, to compete with the freemen of the Nrrth; and 1 and lor oil, this Union must and shall he preserved.” (Cheers.] And again he said : "Large parties may be divided in the North by name, hut there ia no division in sentiment as regards the maintenance ol ih* Constitution and «he Union. [Crie* of Good !' and cheers.] Nor is I here a divided South ; for I tell you, whether parties in that Hection are called Amuricans or Demo crats, they all fight under tho some banner, dure enlisted tor the maintenance ol n iglo policy. [Cries ol 'That's so !’] So ihe North, when the time comes, you will find the divisions have disappeand, and if th« ro he a single man there who shall descend from the policy which it will then become our duty to pursue, wa will first hang him es a traitor, and afterward* attend the traitors South.” [Cheers.] If Hickman has really been caned for such language, the DLck Republican* will a make nil the political capital they ol Iho affair, and it may prove, like the caning of Sumner, a profilablo election eering theme for them. We uwnit later advising us of the truth or GUshood of the doubtful dispatch received. The "Mozart Hull” Democracy. This is the name given to the minority branch of the Democracy of New York. It is derived simply from tneir place of meet- ily and from the fact that tho thor wing ia called tho Tammany Hull Democracy. The latter aro Prttsuilrrs,ant] constitute a large majority of thu so-called Democracy of tho Stair. They appointed their dslrgatss to Charleston some time ago, by the action of a Stale Convention, and about thrcc-luurllis of them are fur Douglas, lbs delegation being instructed to cast the of me State aa a unit. Recently the Mozart Hall Democracy have bren decling eir delegates from the several districts, and last week thry held a Statu Convention at Albany to appoint their four delegates for the Sts’ls at large. Fernando W uud, John A. Green, Gideon J. Tucker and J. H. Babcock wero chosen. These delegates will claim admission on the ground that the separate district system ia the proper mode ol selecting delegates ; hut their real objrct in choosing them in that way ia well understood—they aro too weak to compete with Ihe Tammany Democracy in a joint convention of tha two wings. The Mosul Democracy expect their cluirne to eeate to be sustained by the unilyd South, and will doubtless bid high for this support. They aro really much hat'er inclined towards the South than tho other wing, but the misfor tune ie that they are comparatively fow in ■umbers. If they adopted any resolutions declaratory of political principle at their late meeting, wo have out yet received them ; but wa see that the President, iu his address, took ground in favor of (hr South which even eouie Southern Democrats will not occupy, lie ie briefly reported aa hav ing aaid that “tho South must have au equal, even-handed ehsio iu the Territories of the Union, and protection of her eleve property there, es the North hae for money end impiumcnts of agriculture aud mechan ical labor. Tho Territories &;e common property, and should he shared ill by all. He held it to he tho duly of Congress to protect slavery in the Territories.” No such assertion of Southern right will bo made by the Convention, for il would scatter the party at the North like chaff before tho wind; hut we copy it as a part of the history of the inltiguee lor the management of that hopeful body. Very luterealfliff tram Mexico. rved at Charier- Tbe steamship Isabel ten on Sunday night, bringing dates from Vera Cruz, via Havana, to tie 4th inst. A corespondent of the Courier gives a detail of important and intere*ing event* in Mexico, hut his account iaso long that we roust only briefly refer to tlem. There bad been • succession of victories and advantages for tho Literal party, and it waa again in a position l» carry on offen sive war, with e hopeful prsepect of crush ing out tbe usurpfiion of Mirsmon. On the 23d of January an engagement took place nesr tho city of Oajaca, between a portion of tho Mirsmon forcit, which, under the command of the Spaniard Cohos, have bean for some months occupying that Blate, arid tbe volunteer Liberal troops raised for their repulsion. The engagement resulting n a had defeat for the reactionary, forces, Cobus eellied out the next morning with nil i from tbe city of Oajaca for the purpose of chastising the Liberals, when u plt-ndid battle ensued, in which the Lib- rale not only irsintainrd the ground thry had gained thu day before, but routed Co- lire force, hium-lf narrowly escaping trifling escort—hie brother, Marce- lino Cobos, badly wounded—and with the of all bis artillery, trains , which, with several hundred pris- i, remained in the hands of the Liberals. The loss of life on both sides was very heavy. This reverse, it was thought, compel Mirsmon to abandon his threi pedition against Vera Cruz, the seat of the Juarez or Constitutional Government. In addition to their important victory in Oajaca, tho Liberals have alto Istely gained several other engagements of Ices impor tance, but which show that tbo tide of war again turaing in their favor. The re-oceupeliou of Colima by the iheral forces, under Ogazon, is confirmed. Uy the i.xlraordinitry, from the city of i, intelligence it also received of thu taking of Zacatecas, by the Liberal forces iard in Durango by Gonzales Ortega ; and by the mail brought from Tampico, by the English steamer, ia announced the re-occti- ion of Ban Louis by dcr Gaiza, tbe resell Neler, having abandon Liberal forces, ^^Viips, under uebl lialanro of tho country, including both 11ire Pacific and Gulf coasts, and thus every port in the Republic, is quietly iu the Hessian of tho Juarez Govurumsrit. Tho different Liberal leaders have now mustered a force of 25.U0U to 30,01)0 men, arid if their armies were well appointed and provisioned, they could successfully attack Miramon in all his strongholds. Dut they ere in nerd uf money, and ihuir hope uf raising it soon ie based upon the contin gency of the rally ratification of the McLane-Ocampo Treaty by our Govern ment.
