MKEKS. “ lie went up into a mountain apart to pray ; and when the evening was eonte; ho was there alone.’’—Matt, xiv, 23. Not in tlie cloister’s dungeon wails, Nor in the stately sane, M here tlie tinged smile of sunset fail* in rainbows through the pane ; Rut where light streams and heaven’s pure eyes Met on the niounta’n gray, hose head was pillowed in the skies— Tlie Saviour knelt to pray. When m .riling flung theTght of hope Far o’er the hurrying throng, The incense of itis soul went up With morning's smile and song ; Rut when pale evening round his heart lia.l drawn her dim array, The Saviour sought a place apart—• The Saviour knelt to pray. The wings of angels gathered it To waft tlie prayer to God ; And angel’eyes to diamond lit The dew-drops on tlie sod ; And seraphs hushed their hymns to hear, And silence wrapped the throne, When angel-pinions shed that prayer—- “ Father, thy will be done.” No wonder that the earth is bright, And pure the sky above, Which opened in that brow of light, Lived in that heart of love ! ’Ti.s ail an altar, every spot Is hallowed to thy knee— 'Whoe’er thou art, whate’er thy lot. The Saviour prayed for thee ! I T K MS. tw Andrew Jackson I)n\ iA Is diacours tntv on “ the jtltilosoplty of the beard and monstacliios"in the co!u:ns of the Hartford Times.

FOR THE TIMES, ‘TO THE STOCKHOLDERS OF THE MUS COGEE RAILROAD COMPANY Gentlemen : Tiie propriety of the city subscrib ing its Muscogee Railroad stock for stock in the Mobile and Girard Railroad is a mooted question, and for my own part, on some conditions. 1 am in favor of it to some extent. I would agree to allow tlie Mobile and Girard Railroad company to hypothecate Muscogee stock as collateral security for the payment of Iron to be laid on the track from Girard to Chunnemig gee in this manuer, the Mobile and Girard to purchase tlie Iron payable on its bonds, tlie Iron to be deposited with tlie Muscogee Railroad com pany to be delivered to the Mobile and Girard Railroad in such quantities as it shall be required to lay down from G irard to Clmnnenuggee. Tiie stock of tiie Muscogee Railroad company to the amount for which they shall agree to be transferred to tlie party who shall negotiate tlie Girard and Mobile’Ronds, lobe held by him as collateral security. As soon as the Iron purchas ed upon said collaterals is laid down, the Musco gee Stock to become the property of the Mobile and Girard Railroad, to be by them redeemed out of tlie hands of the bond holders by payment of the bonds. The Muscogee Railroad company stockholders to he pa : d from their stock by the transfer to them of an equal amount of Mobile and Girard Railroad stock. This would leave the Mobile and Girard road nothing to do but to raise the means to build the superstructure and do the grading. It would guarantee to the Muscogee stockhold ers that their stock shoul 1 not be wasted, but that it should be appropriated to buying Iron to be laid on the road to Clmnnenuggee, commencing at the Columbus end ; and I would reserve to the Muscogee stockholders the right to sell the Iron o pa_v the Girard and Mobile Railroad bonds in case they should fail to build a superstructure to receive the Iron, so that they would be secure in case of a failure, to build the Railroad ; in making no other los3 than the difference between the value of their Iron and itß original cost. These are the conditions I would impose, and the extent to which I would advocate the city suh i seriplion, would be proportionate with the other i stockholders, as for instance assuming the amount :to be raised $150,000.

ConhelOwen Removed. —President Fillmore has removed Mr. Owen, the American Consul at Havana, whose criminal neglect of duty in the case of the fifty Americans who were shot at Ha vana has provoked such universal condemnation from ail except the whig partisan press in the Uni ted States. The act of removal does not strike us favorably. If the administration had not been parlicepst crimi nis in the matter, it would have been bnt simple justice. If ihe sentiments of Mr. Fillmore, issued to the world in his proclamation, had not war ranted the conduct of his agent, then this removal would not have struck ns with the dubious ap pearance it now does. But taking into considera tion tile whole course of the administration—timid, wavering, aud reprehensible as it was—;he pres ent act appears like one of treachery. It resembles the act of a~pr':n&ipal, who, having involved him self in an unpopular transaction, endeavors to dear himself by using his power to throw the odium upon his subordinate accomplices. Mr. Owen was guilty ofa serious misdemeanor, luit he can plead in excuse of it the high authority of the President’s proclamation. His fault, in our eye, was that he did not disregard the plain in junction of that proclamation, ami act as beeamo an American Consul. But this, in the ere of the administration, should have been no fault. He acted out the spirit f the President's published instructions. If the administration repents 1 thsm, itself, and notits servants, should have been the vietim. The honorable war would hava been for Mr. Fillmore to resign, arid i*ce ice bvsk of re moving Mr. Omen to hit successor. Then we •ould have aneribed t’ him sincere regret far hi* coarse he had tekea.

The manner of doing it is the point of discussion, and even upon this point, it sec ins to be agreed, that we shall go no further than to make sure, tlie furnishing of the iron when th road shall be ! ready for it. It scents to as, that the views of our correspondent “ A Stockholder, ” whoso com- I muuiention appeared incur issue of Wednesday morning, arc worthy of very favorable cor.s’dcra tion. Rut if his proposed scheme cannot bo car ried at once into effect, the city should, wo think, j take the whole responsibility, and say, that if her j bonds endorsed by the Muscogee Railroad, can : command the iron, it shall be forthcoming as soon as it may beTvanted; for our estimato is, that this road would bo worth to us, annually, the cost of tlie iron. In th's opinion, many wiser heads than ours eoncur; and if it be a sound one, how anxious ought we to be to avoid delay from any and every cause ? It is usual, in thiacountry, to oeoupy three or four years in building thirty or forty miles of railroad; when it would cost no more, or bat very little more, to do it In one year ; thus losing the interest on tho largest portion of the value of jlie work for two or three years, besides the ad vantages and profits arising to the public from the use of the road. The want of sufficient force is the cause of this ; a want which our friends on the other side of the river, can easily supply, if they will but make the effort. If wo shall make ample and satisfactory arrangements for furnishing the iron, ns soon as it shall bo needed, whatever delay may occur will be chargeable to them. Can they not throw force enough upon the work lo com plete tho grading and superstructure by tho first of September ? If they can, the road can bo in operation by tho first of November. Call it tlie “ Union Rail Road,” and we think that all this will be accomplished. Th’s is a cause in winch southern rights men will he willing to put their shoulders to the Un'on wheel. MU e-o for ac tion, immediate action ; and the c’fv authorities can adopt a plan definitely, in ten days as well as in ten years ; thus g’ving our Alabama friends assurances, upon wh'ch they may at once com mence work.

Robert T Simons. tW We copy with great phwuro, from tlic Columbus Sent nel, the very sensible and appro priate remarks of the Editor upon tlie subject of a Railroad from Columbus to West Point. We sub join one or two remarks. Tfe may nek, what is now tlie value of the land three miles deep and extending on the eat side of tlie Chattahoochee, from Co’nmbus to West Point ? The wiiole slip contains about two hundred and fifty tracts, in cluding fractmns, and about fifty thousand acres. Some of this land is good, some is poor. Say however, that the average vain? at this time with out reference to water power, is five dollars per I acre, making two hundred end fUv thousand dol *r". The effect or a railroad from Coin mbits to West Po:r,t would be to at least double this va us This no one we think can doubt. Add to this the value of the water power on trie completion of the ! road—a low estimate would be one million of j dollars. Here we have one million two hundred I and fifty thousand dollars of Tdueemcnt to build the road—without noticing toe increased value of lands lying east of the strip we have mentioned, or the other advantages presented by the remarks of the Sentinel. The people of Harris and Troup have a deep i interest in this subject, as well as the city ofCol j umbiis; and we hope that some competent mem ber of the Legislature will endeavor to get a char ter during the present Union, of such character a will be best adapted to the object in view. Columbns and West Point Hail Road. While Ihc mind of the community is occu pied with the subject of its rail road interests, ! we have a few words to say on another route ! whose claims have not been canvassed.— i Wo allude to a rail road connecting this cite, with West Point, on the Chattahoochee above ns. This route was surveyed by order of ‘lie Legislature, in 1833. by Mr. Chief En gineer Nicholls, and from his report now be fore us, we arc able to gather pretty reliable * data as to the distance and practicability of the line, the cost of construction, and proba ble revenue- By actual survey, the road be tween the two points is forty-one miles, and the country over which it passes,‘.not unfav orable to the-construction or a railway.” As to the difficulties to be encountered, the re port says: “The ground along the bank of the river from West Point to Columbus, is not unfav orable to the construction of a rail road.— Through sow; short sections the banks are rocky r.nd precipitous; but tiie road way may be readily formed by tumbling the detached masses of rocks, which line the shores,down the cliff, *r,td a sufficient foundation!* made. On the sideling ground, the excavation of half the road section, cn its upper side, andthrow ing it to the lower, will ford the road bed; and by keeping the line higher or lower on the hill side, the proper grade will everywhere be attained, thereby incurring but a very mod erate expense for excavation and embank ment.” Tbs estimated cost, in Mr. Nicholls’ report, | NUMBER 44 Is 18,455. In the estimate, however. 1 the calculation is made for iron of seventeen tons to the mile, at a cost of .$97 a ton. Substi tuting a rail of eighty tons to the mile, at sls a ton, will increase this estimate to $268,446 which it will be seen is an average of $6,600 a utile, or less than the cost of any rail road in the State. Tile advantages to this eitv of such a road, are at once .apparent. The line, according to Mr. Nicholls” survey, runs the entire dis taneeon the bank of the Chattahoochee.— Among the first fruits of its construction will be. that the finest water power iu the Union will be brought into market, and rapidly ap plied to manufacturing purposes. The river: from West I’oint to this i itv, is almost a con tinuous shoal the descent being so great that all danger of overflows and backwater is en tirely avoided. This immense water power has long since attracted the attention of the manufacturers, and has been permitted to lie unappropriated, alone from its inaccessibility. Once bring it into easy communication with the markets of the country, and it will tic con verted into motive power. We think it not extravagant to say, that with such facilities for transportation as this road would atfiord, there would in a few years he more machin ery in operation between Columbus and West Point, than iu all the balance of the State to gether, A heavy population would at once settle all along the liue, and the market for all that population would inevitably be Col umbus. Tais would be one of the principal’ depots for the sale and transhipment of the products of the manufactories, and our mer chants would reap all the benefits resulting from the trade of an iuiuicnce manufacturing population. This is but one of the advantages which this road would secure to Columbus. It would secure, us a very large proportion of the cotton trade which has been diverted from this place to the markets east of us. The cottono: the northern part of Muscogee 1 Troup and Harris—a large share of which now goes to Gridin—would be brought to Columbus; because this would be Ihe short est route to the nearest Atlantic port, and because we could afford to sell the planters their supplies on better terms than they could he bought in markets east of them. We cannot undertake to estimate the amount of cotton bales that would be carried on the l o iff : but any one who will consult the. map of the counties mentioned, will find that this istlie natural channel of communication between those points and Savannah—which sooner or later will become,as it ought to, the market of all this section of country. Again, it brings us into direct and speedy com muuieation with Cherokee Georgia and Tennes see. The trade which would thus be established between those points, is one which our merchants fully appreciate, and one, too, to which we have heretofore looked in our rail road connections.— The first idea of a rail road from Columbus, was to connect with Atlanta over the very line of which we now speak. A prominent idea with the pro jectors of the Muscogee road, was to secure this trade—and the pertinacity with which we held so long to the Bartlesville route, for this very pur pose, sufficiently attests the estimate we placed upon the importance of that connection. These are the prominent advantages, briefly stated, which, it strikes us, are to result to Columbus from the construc tion of this road. So evident are they, that we presume there will be no debate about the value of such communication to this city. Every body will agree that the road is an important one; the only question is, can it be built? We believe it. can; for the benefits promised by it are so great, and so immediate, that, v/e think, the people will take hold of it; and we know that if they will do so in the proper spirit, the thing is easily enough accomplished. We shall in a subsequent article undertake to show the practicability of this project, and also the probable value of the stock as an investment. From the Advertiser and Gazette. Sallying and Reorganization of the Democratic Party. We are gratified to announce that wc have the most cheering prospects of a speedy, thorough and complete reor ganization of the Democratic party in our State. We ourselves are just in re ceipt'of a letter from a distinguished Democrat in North Alabama who has been in favor of acquiescing in the late Compromise. He himself is strongly in favor of at once putting the old Dem ocratic ship in complete trim, and presses the confident opinion, after fre quent conversations with many from different parts of that section, that the Democracy of North Alabama will res pond to a man, and stand to their old colors under the old party organization. On the other hand, those in South Ala bama who have, like ourselves, been contending for resistance to the Com promise, now that that question is set tled, are falling into line without any difficulty. The Watchtower, at Talla dega, thus takes his position : “ The Southern liights party, in a hopeless minority, cannot change the result. Submission’ to the sovereign will of the State is an imperative neces sity, and we must fall back into the whig or democratic party, until some aggression is committed of sufficient magnitude to stir up the lowest depths of Cuban submission. “ The attachments of the members of the party have been strong. No dis turbing issue has interrupted the harmo ny. Before new associations are funn ed, which may widely estrange us, and produce irreconcilable difference, should we not endeavor to act in con cert, and unite with that party which will best reflect our opinions. That party is obviously the Democratic. “Protective Tariffs, Internal Improve ments, Executive Power and Patronage, no debt, Retrenchment of expenses, are all existing questions, fearfully ag gravated in importance in consequence of the reorganized doctrine of the unli mited power of the Federal Govern ment. From tlie Demociatic party alone, can we expect ‘ aid and corn tort” on all tiiese questions. The whig conventions in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Michigan, Massachusetts, &c., have in sisted on the whig doctrine of protective tariffs, and if the whig party had the power no one doubts the accomplish ment of their designs. In a few days after the passage of the “compromise” bills, but two whigs in Congress voted against Mr. Vinton’s motion to substi tute specific for ad valorem duties, on; some at the taxed articles.” With but a few exceptions, this is the language of the old Democratic press in South Alabama generally. Our friends of the Mobile Tribune, Spirit of the South, Dallas Gazette, and one or two others of trivial importance, still hold out for a separate southern organiza tion. We shall not quarrel with them for it. They can keep up their organ ization if they desire it; but that need not prevent us, and all others of the old Democratic press, who prefer it, from organizing and rendering efficient the Democratic party. Surely no one can have any objection to this course, except it be the Federal whig party-, who are trying to prevent the reorganization of the Democratic party. Now, as a plat form upon which all old Democrats can ! meet, the proposition is to discard the compromise question as a thing settled by the sovereign will of the people and not to be further discussed ; and to contend only for old democratic princi ples—such as were advocated previous to the agitation of the compromise. It is obvious that this is a proposition that cannot he objected to except by the Un ion Whigs, as it is their purpose, a> we’ve just skid, to prevent, by all means a reorganization ol'the Democratic par ty. The reason of this is obvious : the reorganization of the Democratic party will be death to whiggery in Alabama. The question arises then, are the Unioti Democrats in the late contest, in favor of an organization of the Democratic party! We have no right t doubt it; and hope that it will be speedily con* snmmated. How to Crr,E a Ci.j.d.— Of all other 1 means of curing colds fasting is the most effectual.

McWiilie, Democratic member of the last Congress, and Democratic noin’- nce for re-election, has put forth an address to his constituents, from which wc make the following extract: ‘* “The reference that I have above made, to three of the compromise measures, has not been for the purpose of discussing their me rits, but simply to justify my own conduct in relation to them in the past. 1 now dis miss t hem from all further or future consider ation, as I look upon the vote, taken upon the election of Delegates to the Convention, as having authoritatively, and forever, settled this question. Mississippi has signified hor acquiescence in those measures, and 1 yield obedience to her behest. But I must be per mitted to think that she has done so, upon the principle, ‘that it is better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of:’ and that she has not done so u|Km the ground that she approves them. Nor will she be disposed to honor with her confidence those who do approve them, or who have been instrumental in forcing upon her the ne cessity for such submission. There is a w idu difference between submitting to that which we may consider a political necessity, and hon oring those who have brought such necessi ty upon ns. If the foregoing views be correct—that is, that the late Convention election has settled the slavery question, in connection with the compromise measures, the mission of the Union party has been accomplished, and it (the Union party) ought to be dissolved.— And it will be dissolved, unless it be held to gether by a love for the loaves and fishes of office—unless it be the wolf in sheep’s cloth ing—the old whig party in disguise, under a new name. For the compromise measures being accepted, I defy human ingenuity to suggest a practical question that is in issue between the two parties, but the old issucscf v, higgery and democracy. Now, if this be true, it is time for democrats to begin ton dly to their colors, and to endeavor to sustain them in the November election. For, if you lose the next I legislature, the whigs will be able to elect a United States Senator for the’ next four years, in place of Gen. Foote, who has two years yet to serve, and it will be t’ ’ duty of the Legislature to elect his successor. And further; the Hon. Jeff. Davis having con sented to become a candidate for Governor, has resigned his seat in the Senate, and his place will have to be tilled for the next six years. Jf the whigs have a majority in the Legislature, they will have possession of the United States Senate, entire, for the next six years, and in part, for eight years. In add! tion to this, hereafter the State of Mississippi will be entitled to five members of Congress; consequently, it will be the duty of the eu suing Legislature to lay out new Congres sional Districts. Now if von permit to tin; whig party a majority in the Legislature, in making the new Districts, notwithstanding the fact that at the State elections, two years since, the Democratic majority- was over ten thousand, they can be so arranged, by the Legislature, as to give the whig party-, at least three out of five, of the Representatives in Congress. Arc democrats prepared for this? The fact is” if we lose the State elections lliis fall, i will consider whiggery as having obtained the jins’ session of the State for an indefinite period of time. You see from the above, that the whigs showed their usual adroitness when they, for the purpose of confusing and disor ganizing the democratic party, took for their candidate for Governor a democrat, (even though he was rejected by his own party,) and selected democrats to run in each dis trict for Congress. This was tlie masked battery-, from behind which the Democrat ic party was to be assailed, divided and corv quered. The whigs could well afford to those who had once acted with the democra tic party, a chance for a portion of tlie offices this fall, provided it would secure to them selves permanent, power and ascendancy:— Gan democrats shut their eyes to the fact, that tnis whole affair is a political trick? and gotten up, not from a fear tor the safety of the Union, but to destroy the democratic par ty of Mississijipi? Who constitute the so called Union party? Why it musters in its ranks at least nineteen twentieths of the old whim party. A large majority of it arc whigs, and after the November elections, all who’ then act with it will be considered and treat ed as such. Asa test of the political com plexion and opinions of the so-called Union party, I will venture to say that a very largo majority of its members would, to-day, or at any other time they may have a chance, vote for Clay-, Webster, or Fillmore for the I’resi liency. These three men are ardent friends of the. Union party, and they are so, because they know full well that the Union party is but the whig party with anew name. Iho same party- has already worn out other names. They started out as Federalists, they then be came National Republicans, then whig, and now in this State, and Georgia, they have, (as it would appear) worn out the time hon ored name of whig, and have adopted that of Union. This, too, will be rejected when it lias accomplished its purpose. Is not this thing too transparent to deceive democrats? .STain. —The Spanish frigate Guate-j mala lias arrived at Vicgu, >\ un lie. o- ; bail prisoners.
