Further Particulars from Rio Grand
r lTie Mexican Revolt.-- Withdrawl of the
Americans.. —New Orleans, Oct. 13—Papers,
of Rio Grande Mexico, of Oct. 8, have been
Deceived by the steamer Yacht. The Rio
Bravo News reports that Col. Carjava! had
received large reinforcements, and that Gen. i
Avaloea was busily engaged in fortifying ‘
Matamoras. Col. Carjaval had issued orders j
not to acknowledge permits of the Mexican |
custom house. A circular had been issued |
by the collector at Brownsville, urging great I
vigilance on the part of the custom house offi
cers, in consfouenee of the progress of the
revolution. Tite News also contains an edito
rial in which it is stated that the Americans
had abandoned the cause owing to the fact
of Gen Canales having assumed the chief com
mand. The revolutionists had intercepted
letters from the Me dean commander in
which instructions were given to treat the in
surgents in the same manner that the Span
iards served liopez and his associates. Six
teen armed Americans hail landed at Mazat
lsn. and were made prisoners by the Au
thorities. Tiio cholera wascreatiug dreadful

A Court Scene in Arkansas.
The Camden (Ark.) Ilefiild relates the fob ‘
lowing:
‘•Judge Q.. who is m man pos-ussed of the j
usual quantum of judicial dignity, and never j
suffers it to he run river without a w ord of ;
explanation from the offender, was adminis- j
tcring justice in the town of . The \
court was proceeding rapidly in tno dispatch j
of the public business, with an unusual do- I
groc of quietude, except the steady peals of
the full-toned and eloquent voice of Col. I
W , the zealous .State's attorney, when
*ll at once, out in the street, bard by the
court house, a loud voice was heard, making
a horrid use of the King's English, and threat
ening great abuse of the human form divine,
ii this wise: •‘Ji-.t L'-i me if you dare with
that stick, and I wish I may ire chawed up if
l don’t knock the death-groans out of your
infernal ribs!'’ Tills attracted the court's at
tention and caused tin: speaker to halt.
“Mr. Sheriff, bring the belligerent into
court,” said the judge.
The Sheriff obeyed and brought in by the
sleeve a liberal specimen ofnature’s works in
the shape of a man about six feet four inches
in his brogars, and not a bad face, but indica
t vc of an inordinate passion for fat beef and
,'bn>t-h‘ , adP
“Is that the man raising that disturbance
out-doors?” said the court.
“Well, I’spose 1 is. if you-call talking in
yeamest raising a iiis-,” replied the offender.
The court commenced one of his moral
lectures, for which ha is so remarkable,
n rongly animadverting upon the great crim
inality of swearing, lighting, ivc. &c.. when
rite offender, with great earnestness spread
over his countenance, something like a mix
ture of a laugh and cry, interrupted the court
and said:
“Stop, judge, and lei me toll you the rule

lie draw’d on me a stick full two feet, and
made circuir.loeuto )/ motions about mv head,
and 1 jist concealed myself on to my dignity,

all!”
This speech broke the thread of the court's
remarks, and for several minutes, with his
under lip between his teeth, it turned over the
leaves of Ins docket. At length it said, “Lot

t*rw hat are called tho “union” presses
iu New York are gratified with the defeat of
Johnston in Pennsylvania. Tin Mirror ob
serves:
“Let us say, frankly, that wo rejoice in the
result of this, and all other elections, which set
tho seal of popular reprobation upon the cur
sed dogmas and doctrines of Abolitionism,
under whatever name they may be disguised.”
The Journal of Commerce has the follow
ing.
“The returns from Pennsylvania indicate
the election of Bigler the Democratic Union
candidate for Governor, by a very large ma
jority over Johnston, the Free Soil Wing
candidate, who now occupies the Gubernato
rial chair. This is a great triumph of priuci
pie over fanaticism and sectionalism. Bigler
declared himself in the fullest and most de
rided manner in favor of the compromise as it
is. Johnston declared that he would not have
voted for it, and that it ought to be amended,
Ac.”
Bigler seems to have changed his ground
before tho elections, while Johnston stuck
close by his.
We presume, however, that Johnston’s vote
may be considered an evidence of the strength
of those in Pennsylvania who are opposed to
the fugitive law.

A Circassian Favorite, —The favorite wife
was a Circassian, and a fairer vision would nut be
easy to see. Intellectual in expression she could
hardly be called, yet she was full ofdignitv.as well
as pliant grace and sweetness. Her large black
eyes, beaming with a soft and steady radiance,
seemed as if they would have yielded light in the
darkness: atzd the heavy waves of her hair,
which, in the excitement ot the tumultuous scene,
she carelessly Hung over her shoulders gleamed
like a mirror. Her complexion was tile most ex
quisite 1 have ever seen—a month of pearly purity,
beitig tingi-U with a color unlike that of flower or
of fruit, of bud or of berry, but whVlt reminded
me ot the vivu! and delicate tints which sometimes
s reak the inside of a shell. Though tali she seeni
cd as light as if she had been an embodied cloud,
‘hovering over the carpets like a child that does
not feel the weight of its body : and though state
ly in the intervals of rest, Iht mirth was a sort of
rapture. She, too, had that peculiar luxurious
ness of aspect, in no degree opposed to modesty,
which belongs to the east; around her lips was
wreathed, in their stillness, an expressiou at ouee
pleasurable and pathetic, which seemed to leave
w.th regret whatever they had rested on, and in
!<arting to leave something behind : and in all
her soft and witching beauty she reminded me of
Browning's lines—
“No swan-soft woman, rubbed in lucid oils,
n e gilt of an enamored god, more lair.’’
Yankee Forethought.—An acquaint
tancc ot ours was up in Connecticut
one day last winter, to visit a friend,
who was a manufacturer. The shatt of
the manufacturer's water-wheel had
beeu broken that afternoon, under the
great accuniulatton of ice, and he was
in great trouble tor he had searched
long to lind a stick, and he knew not
where to find another. If he could find
one, it would be green, and unfit, for
use. Very early in the morning, while
the day had scarcely dawned, the manu
facturer and his gue'st were at the mill
to see what should be done.
A farmer, xvho lived twoorthree miles
on, w-as already looking on. As the
manufacturer looked painfully at his
catastrophe! “Bad break that, Mr.”
3aid the farmer.
“\es yery bad, said the manufac
turer.
“Can’t mend that stick, can you?”
said the farmer.
*‘No.” said the manufacturer, “and
worst of it is, I .don't know where to get
another/-’
“Well,” said the farmer, “I guess I
can tell you where you can find one.”
“You can!” said the manufacturer;
where is it!”
“Well,” said the farmer, “I thought
that shaft would break, likely as not,
some time or other, and I had a tree in
my woods I though would make a stick
to suit you, and I cut it down and snak
ed it home, and it has been seasoning
more than a year. So when I heard
your shaft was broken, I thought I’d
come over and let you know.”
“You’re justthe man I wanted to see,”
said the manufacturer. 44 If only it was
light enough. How much do you ask
for the stick, if it will suit me!”
“Oh, I’m sure ’twill suit ye, orl should
n’t a’ it down; and about the price, I
guess you and I can agree. I.’s a nice
j stick’, you’ll sej, if you’ve mind to come
, over.”
It was some time before the farmer
’ would set a price, but at last he guesed
I one hundred dollars would be about
; right.
“I’ll come over and see it after break
fast, said the manufacturer.” He did so
and told his visitors afterwards, that, un
j dcr the circumstance, the stick was
worth five hundred dollars to him. Are
I not such people able to take care of
themselves!” —Exchange paper.
Judge Nelson’s Opinion. —Judge
Nelson, of the U. S. .Supreme Court in
his lato charge to the Grand Jury at
Albany N. Y. says, the North cannot
violate the Fugitive Slave part of the
Federal compact, and then expect fif
teen Slaveholding States to live under
a Government where sixteen States vio
late that part of the compact most essen
tial to them. To violate one part of the
compact, therefore, he infers,is to break
the whole, to dissolve the Government,
to break up the Union; and thus the
crime becomes one of the very gravest
character against the people of'the U. .S',
and the institutions they have establish
ed. It is much to be regretted that Judge
Nelson’s opinions are not more general
ly enntertained at the North.—f.Sat>-

Revolutionary Times. —‘Husband ! hus
band! wake up, there’s terrible rumpus going
oil!’said an old lady ‘way down East,’ rous
! ing her sleeping partner, with divers punches
in the ribs, one night in the ‘times that tried
men’s souls.’
‘What on arth’s the matter, Jcrnshy?’ grun
ted forth the old mail, not a little put out at
his rest being broken in this unexpected man
ner.
‘Wei. I donno what ’tis, but it was the
most Jiful racket I ever beam. It ’pears to
me its either tho day of judgment or the Brit
ish.’
The old continentaller got up, and taking
his old rifle down from the hooks where she
j hung, proceeded to put in a double charge,
. pick the flint, and prepare for an emergency.
Surveying the hasty preparations with evi-
I dent satisfaction, he added:
‘An’so you think it’s either the day of judg

a tone of firm decision, ‘let ’em come on: 1

A House without Hair. —An extra
ordinary phenomenon, in the way of
“horse flesh,” was brought to town yes
terday afternoon by the steamer Gordon.
It is a mare, captured on the plains of
Venezuela by a party of American hun
ters, headed by the well known travel
er, Joan Percy, and Capt. Hall, he is
15i hands high, of great beauty and
symmetry, and without one particle of
hair on any part of the body ! The skin
resembles India rubber, and is as solt
almost as velvet.
The owner of this singular animal is
now on his way to Macon, where he in
tends to exhibit her at the approaching
Fair. From Macon lie will return to
this place, when those of our peopL
who are curious in such things will km e
an opportunity to see her. She wilt
spend the winter at the South, as iV.vill
be rather cold to return to the North

London Police.— Some of the tricks
j of the swell mob at the Crystal Palace
have been curious. One thief, dressed
and looking like a gentlemen, preten

insect; and she saw him take it off She
thanked him warmly and oft’ he went.
Fortunately she immediately perceived
she had losi a valuable bracelet? She
suspected herlriendjWent to a policeman
and told what had passed. He said, are
you sure you would know the man!—
iS'he said she was certain she would.—
Then go and stand by that door till I
come to you. She did so, and the police
man soon joined her. lie had by tele
graph had every door shut but the one
they were at; they had not waited long
when the lady said that’s the man. Tie
person was taken into custody, searched,
and on him was found a small box full
of bugs and the lady’s bracelet. Was
not that a clever trick!
New Fashion. —The Paris correspon
dent of the Boston Atlas states that the

i ing the revival of the hideous fashion of
J the empire—short waists, narrow petti

instead of diamonds. In a word, David’s
celebrated painting of the coronation of
Napoleon is the plate from which we
shall obtain all our winter fashions.—

Religious Intolerance in Politics.—
Judge Campbell, one of the Judges ot
the Superior Court of Pennsylvania, and
a candidate for election on* the Demo
cratic ticket, has been defeated, although
the rest of the Democratic ticket is elec
ted by so large a majority. The reason
for this defeat is said to be the religious
belief of Judge Campbell. He is a Ro
man Catholic, and enough have voted
against him to leave him in the minor
ity. We did not think that such intoler
ance existed any where in the U. States,
though there is said to be something of
the sort in New Hamphire, the people
there having refused to adoat the new

the dominant party of the State. Among

Tin: PENNSYLVANIA ELECTION.
It is a rare event in the political world that an
election hotly contested between the two great po
lit'eal parties dividing oi.eof the leading States o
the North, should give undivided satisfaction in a
leading State of the South. Yet this marvifi i.
realized in the effect the Democratic victory in
Pennsylvania has produced in Georgia. The
Southern Rights party are pleased as a matter of
course, because so far as it has had any prefer
ences and attachments to Northern parties they
have been with the Democracy. In the ranks of
th t party have been uniformly found the warm
est and staunchest friends of the South. Many
of the leading statesmen of that party haw- perilled,
and some have sacrificed their popularity at home
by their unflinching defence of the South, when
fiercely assailed by abolition fanaticism. It is in
the ranks of that party were to be found Bucha
nan and Dallas, and Paulding, and Dickinson,
and Douglass. An! with such men we would
name Senator Cass, but. for his dodging the vote
on the fugitive slave bill, though present and in
his seat when the vote was taken.
The Whig party at the Nortli has always shown
a greater tendency to abolitionism, and all its tri
umphs over the Democracy were achieved by
coalitions with the abolitionists. Ilad it succeeded
| in Pennsylvania this time, it would have been by
means of abolition votes, for which the Whig can
didate had pandered. It is very natural therefore
that the Southern Rights party, whose political af
finities and sympathies are, as between tho two
Northern parties, entirely with the Northern
Democrats, should rejoice over the Pennsylvania
election. The result must contribute powerfully
in favor of Mr. Buchanan’s prospects for the
Presidency.. lie is second to no Northern man
in the esteem and admiration of the Southern De
mocracy, and will, if nominated, command their
cordial support.
The Constitutional Union party seem equal }*
pleased with the result, and their sincerity is no
tube doubted. Now the curious fact in this is,
that the mass of this party is composed of the old
Whig party —the party which opposed Gen. Cass
in 1818, an 1 charged him with being an abolition
ist. They would with equal zeal, doubtless, have
opposed Mr. Buchanan had he boon the Demo
cratic nominee, and we dare say with equal venom
charged him, also, with being an abolitionist. The
charge would have been no more wanton and
uuserupulou'.
We are pleased to see the disposition exhibited
by the members of that old Whig organization to
repent of their past sins, and do justice to men
they assailed so bitterly. The equivocal part, to
use a mild term, played by Gen. Taylor towards
the South, sickened many of them, and convinced
them that a Northern Democrat might be a safer
man for the South than the Southern Whig of
their choice.
Whether the political nsillcnium will be in fact
realized, of both parties in Georgia voting for the
same candidate for the President, is hid in the fu
ture. But we do not doubt that the Constitution
al Unionists, most of whofn have at heart no af
fection for Democracy, would infinitely prefer Fill
more or Webster for President, or some other
available Northern Whig whom they could en
dorse as “sound and conservative'’’ than any
Democrat, even though that Democrat should be
Mr. Buchanan.— Chai, Mercury.

As ye sow, 6o shall ye Reap.
Below we copy an-ex tract from the New
Orleans Crescent, to which we attach more
importance from its being copied into the ed
itorial columns f the National Intelligencer
ft is a terrible, but we believe unexaggerated
picture of the moral condition of California;
that glorious free-soil State, which has sprung
with magical suddenness out of the seething
brain of the anti-slavery North. It is a f.ii
specimen of what they can do, when they
have their own way unrestrained. It is An
ti-rentism, Greeleyism, and Garrison ism, and
Scwardism, all mingled in one broth,and floun
dering in its own chaos. The North is begin
ning to reap the harvest of that flagrant con.
tempt of the Constitution and laws, through
which California came into the Union. It
was not alone in the latter, that the spirit of
lawlessness and mobbing wts sown by the
violent effervescence of Northern cupidity
and ambition in the late section’ll struggle.
We have seen its fruits in the old States. It
has established among them the maxim
that might is right; and nurtured throughout
the North the feeling that by doing evil to
llieir neighbors they are of course b infitting
themselves. We are very f r from yet see
ing all the mischief that is to result from ihe
admission of California into the Union. But
we quote the extract from the Crescent:
“The news from California is of a charac
ter to strike our better-regulated, older, and
mre quiet communities with astonishment.
Throughout the State law is, so far as crimi
nal jurisdiction is concerned, a mere dead let
ter, and the mob’s will is life or death. The
courts may decide as they please; but they
know that if their decision be not relished bv
the mass of excited and watchful men around
them, a short trial, a pitiless sentence, and a
summary execution await the accused. The
gibbet, ready for momentary use, stands per
petually in the public streets of a great metro
polis, and at the tolling of a bell the whole
community is gathered to a fearful scene of
violent death—men hurried to death in a hur
ra of popular madness, and allowed the mock
ery of a trial, when, for a hundred reasons,
accusation is half of a conviction, and convic
tion death—all crowded into a few brief hours
of agony and excitement. The eourt, the
State, and local authorities in vain a :ek to
stand up before the spirit of mob law which
sweeps over the State, whelming laws, Con
stitution, and autftority in its uncontrollable
tide. The judges, indignant t this relapse
into disorganization, this autocracy of popular
passion, have retired in disgust from their
courts, vacant, and silent, and powerless in J
the excesses of the day. It is a strange scene
te contemplate, and one which will be widely
censured. But morality and eulogy of the
law are cheap things where society shields
every right and interest of the citizen, and a
regular police sentinels his safety. But look
at California—its papers filled with endless
accounts of murders, robberies, and deeds ot
violence—and then consider if such elements
can be easily controlled by ceremonious law,
and if a society so vexed may not be provok
ed into excesses. It is impossible to approve
but there may be some palliation for this ter
rible mob law.”
“Capt. John Forsyth” denies some
what uncourteously, that he wears nothing
but New York make coats. He asserts his
right however, to have his coats made where
he pleases. This right we shall be one of
the last men ever to attempt to infringe:
But we doubt whether the “Captain” has re
plied to what was intended to be ihe gist of
our remark, that is—that as a general thing
he has his clothes made at the North. Now,
we do not intend to intimate that it is wrong
for a man to have his clothes made at the
North. But then look nt the facts in this
i ease; Capt. Forsyth calls himself a southern
\ rights man; lie professes a peculiar zeal in
] behalf of the. rights of the South; he denounc-
I es the North and every thing pertaining to it;
j he wants to build up a southern spirit; to
; disconnect the two sections of the Union
1 from each other: and to make the South in
j dependent of the North. Well, how does he
jgo about it? Why, if lie wants a coat made
| he sends to New York to have it done. He is
j not satisfied with having it made by a north
ern tailor, and out of northern goods but lie
| must actual! v h ive it made up in a nor.bent
i city?
Capt. Forsyth says th it neuly all the tai
lors in Columbus an Northern men. That
may be. but isn’t il something to patronize
the South as far as you can do it. and at least
h ive your clothes made, at home? He admits
however, that there is in Columbus .one
Southern Rights clothing house, —well, why
not patronize it! l?ut th proprietors, says
the Captain are nor:he n men.—Ah, indeed,
are they so! but don't limy wonr principles
that are quite independent of their northern
birth? and are not these principles quite as
good as those that Capt. Forsyth wears, and
which .ie says are independent of the cut
quality, or make of his coat? But is there
not one good southern tailor in Columbus?
None in Macon, Augusta; Savannah? None
but abolition yankee tailors in Charleston?
or Baltimore, or New Orleans.
Now suppose that every one acted upon
the principle of C apt.,; Forsyth when would
tho South cease to be dependent, upon th
North? We leave him to answer the ques
tion—Macon Repvblican.
In the absence of the Editor for whose at
tention the above was written, we beg leave
to make this simple ejaculation.— Humbug
We take the following extract from
the Mobile Tribune.
“We believe that direct intercourse with
all places with which we trade if they bo im
portant enough, is the first essential for
southern independence and prosperity. With
out it ourndlronls and manufactories will be
nil; and this fact is so apparent that even
those exponents of public sentiment north,
whose interest lies in encouraging us to the
contrary, have given frequent utterance to
its truth and fullness. The New York Times
—a Seward organ—has a passage on this
subject, which we cut out for reproduction
but the wind of a rat carried it away. It
■ reads us a lesson which is as plain as the al
phabet in a primer. The Journal of Com
meree, in an article concerning secession,
shows its merchant readers the latent power
of the south. It says:
•:As the south grows the cotton, and as
England and the northern states are rivals ie
its manufacture, a convention would prob..
bly be entered into between England and
the Southern Republic for their mutual ad
vantage. Give England a monopoly of the
cotton crop: or the principal part of of it. and
let the south allow her ships free acoass to
their ports, while the nortli should be exclu
de !, or placed on a less favorable footing, and
we should soon find that the south was as
necessary to Flic property of'the north, as the
nirth to the south.—The more this subject
Hcxunined (unless it is done through aboli
ton spectacles, which turn every tiling top
sy-turvy,) the more deep will be” the convic
tii n, that on the face of the eartli there does
not exist a more deadly enemy to human hap
piness, than lie who seeks to widen the
breach between the north and the south.—
Next to him stands the man who is indifferent
on the subject; who can look on and fiddle,
while the most glorious political fabric ever
reared by man is burning to ashes.”
A great deal more “necessary"’ the Jour
nal means: and that is the stimulus lying at
the bottom of the New York Union move
ment. If the South escape a vassalage to
New York, the world, in the opinion of its
sagacious people, will presently come to an
untimely end.
But this is not all. Cities outside of Mo
bile, in the South, see that the inevitable ten
dency of things will push wise men in this
section to a direct trade: and they who get
the start in the new order of things will he
apt to keep it some time. The laggards
with the best natural alvantagcs, they also
see, will be left behind—as they ought to
be. *

crib for his pay, for having turned State’s ev
idence, and played traitor to the child bo.n
of his own head. Well, his pay runs up to a
decent figure. Afew at that price will soon
exhaust the President s fat offices. It is as
tonishing that such a thing as honesty ever
entered a mans brain when a little treachery
will line his pockets with the precious dust.

Clay and Consolidation. —Henry Clay

cession as the worst of heresies, The Union

document has not an original idea in it and is
nothing but a revamping of the doctrine of
federalism. The following comparison of
secession shows in what estimation he holds
the doctrine;
‘■To revolt against such a government for
any thing which has passed would be so atro
cious and characterized by such extreme fol
ly and madness, that we may search in vain
for an example of it in human annals. We
can look for its prototype only if I may be
pardoned the allusion, to that diabolical re
volt which, recorded on the pages of holy
writ, has been illustrated and commemorated
by the sublime genius of the immortal Mil

I'll call Arou.voa.no Pay.—What a world
of woe is contained in tie s- few words to the poor
artizan and mechanic ? “i'i! call around and pay.'’
says the rich man to avoid the trouble of going to
his desk to get the necessary funds, and the poor
mechanic is obliged to go home to disappoint his
workmen .ml all who depend upon him for their
| dues. It i< fm easy matter to work—the only glo
i ry in tills life is an indepen lent idea of being able
I to sustain yourself by the labor of your hands, and
j it may easily be imagined what a crushing force
j there is in ‘Til call around and pay”’ to the labor
| or who depends upon that pay for subsist-mce. if
those who could pay would pay at once, it would
| place hundreds and thousands in a condition to
! do likewise, and prevent much misery and dis
tress.
Kvery ehiid at school should bo taught that in-
Jividu;:| happiness and natural prosperity depend
upon quick payments and rapid circulation of
money. They would then understand the rsal

The Feeling in Spain against the United States
Madrid, Sopt. 18, 1851.
Believing it must necessarily he in
teresting to vouto know something ofthe
state of public, feeling at Madrid, in
view of the recent occurrences in the
Island of Cuba and the United States,
especially at New Orleans. I take the
liberty to send you enclosed slips from
several Spanish newspapers containing
articles, any portion of which you can
republish or not, aseircumstances may
indicate at the time of their reception.
For a right understanding of their im
port, it is proper to say that El O r den is
the half recognized organ ofthe present
ministry, and speaks the sentiments of
the present government; Ei Heraldo is
the organ of that portion of the rnode
rado party, whose chief leader is Gen.
Narvaez, Duke of Valencia, and per
haps the strongest political party in
Spain; La Espana is the organ of the
adherents of the Queen-mother, (Chris
tiana,) who has talent enough o always
exercise more or less influence upon
affairs, and who is in fact the only per
sonage of the royal family resident at
Madrid, who enjoys any political pow
er or consideration, aside from that
which inoreofficial position may confer.
But, in fact, the press of all parties, and
factions o( parties, ofthe capital as well
as of the provinces, has been loud and
unanimous in calling upon the goverti
m Tit to sustain or avenge he slighted
• honor oftho nation at all hazards, and
! to preserve the Island of Cuba to Spain
against all attempts to change her alle
giance, no matter from whence they
come. Some call for the instant dismis
sal ofthe American Minister at this court;
others demand an immediate dedication
of war. And if the government were
to yield to the impulse ofthe people,
and declare war against the United
States to-morrow, it would undoubtedly
be sustained by the whole nation, with-j
out regard to party distinction or differ- I
ences. Still, that which has most ex- j
cited the Spanish people is the insult!
to their naii nal hoimrin the treatment!
of their Consul and fellow-countryr lan !
at New Orleans; and, if that should be
satisfactorily explained or repaired, all |
unhappy results may yet be avoided, so
far as they may be consequences of
what is known thus far at Madrid.
The evening of the reception of the
telegraphic news of those events at New
Orleans, a proposition was made in the |
crowded Case Suizo (Swiss Coffee i
House,) to go and insult the American
ministerat this court in like manner;
but by the efforts of some more sensi
ble people the demonstration was pre
vented. It is true, also, that the excite- j
ment is less these two or three days past,
since it is said Lopez and his band has
been destroyed, and especially since
the semi ollicial announcement in the
government papers that England and
France have openly accorded to Spain
the assistance ot their naval forces
against all invasions of her precious
island. The public funds, which had
fallen considerably, have nearly regain
ed their former place, and the impres
sion is gaining ground that the whole
affair can be arranged without a rupture
with the United States, but the tone of a
large portion of the press is still very j
bitter against the American government
and people. An American.
From the Federal Union.
Let us look to the Future.
We have contended earnestly, and faithfully,
for the success of the Southern Rights party, be
cause we believed that the success of that party
would given commanding position,and moral pow
er to the south, which would secure us liom the im
positions of the north in future. The Southern
Rights party lias been defeated; and ini hat de
feat die moral force of the south has been lost.—
Until now, thousands both north aral south, have
confidently believed, that southern men would de
fend their just rights “at all hazards and to the
last e.vttcmity.” Who believes it now? The event*
j of the last-year, have destroyed all confidence in
j southern threats, and southern resolutions. ll< rc
! after if we wish to he believed, we roust act. The
j protests, and the declarations of southern men.
! will pass by like the idle wind, which re man re
j gards. ■ The little Spartan band at the north
which stood up nobly for flip constitution and the
rights of the south, we fear will lose all confidence
in our firnuienr. ami give up our cause in disgust:
and what is worse, southern men will lose all
confidence in each other. The Union }>art\ has
triumphed, the Union is safe, but the spirit and
confidence of the South, is lost. The Union was
nc-vi rin danger from the Southern 11 gigs party’. ,
But it was the policy of the office seekers to .make j
the people believe that the Union was in danger :
that they might hue. an ‘wus.-. for a Union jar‘y.
They have obtained tl ir old-at they have got
into office, and now they admit that the Union is
sr.fo. Even 8->uth Carolina Irh submitted, and
every one must confess that the 1 oil is pa ib.-te
sale. Now wlu-u tv ry body ii-ol.'s satisfied #f ht i
the Union is safe, there is no !o> ger any !:• -o y
or a Union party. ‘ilie vibjee’ toi w Inch i. v.as
formed is aceoiiiplislu and, ani it s r : - -on ;• :r
en l. But the Uiuoiis safe, - uili im ,-t -
ima - are not, an 1 it is tinr for ail tin trm Ta-r. U
of the south to unite for their pres v va: >n. i'h
Union men have no longer any xjusc for iiolJ
ing back. They !a e professed to be the ri lids
and champions of southern rights, and said they
were willing to go as iar as they could for the ;
protection in the Union. A few mouths -.v.1l prow,
whether these professions are true r false. If we
see them standing shoulder to shoulder vvvh ill •
true friends of the souli, firmly ros.sting every
uture encroach.: ent upon our rights, then we
may believe their pr .tensions are sincere. But if
we find them colluding with Free Soilers, and tor
the sake of Federal office, “giving aid and com
fort,” to such men as Scott, Webster and F;ll
m .re, we may know that all their professions ;re
hollow and deceitful, and made only to dcee.ve
the people and promote the r selfish ends. Let
every friend of the south watch these men, and
observe carefully the signs of the times. Dema
gogues have endeavored to withdraw our atten
tion from the north, where all the danger lies, and
turn our suspicions upon our friends in Alabama,
Mississippi and Carolina. What harm could we
apprehend from our neighbors in these States,
<- ho have the same interests to protect, that we
have, and arc exposed to dangers in common with
ourselves. All of the southern States have a
common bond of iutA-eet binding them to each
other, and he is no true friend of the south who
attempts to array the prejudices of one southern
State against another. Let all such men be
watched, they have some selfish scheme to pro
mote, and sooner or later we shall see them sell
ing their birth-rights for a mess of pottage.

The Planter’s Convention.
The Convention of Cotton Planters held a
preliminary meeting on Monday last, and ad
journed over to meet again Tuesday morn
ing, 9 o’clock, when the following gentlemen
were elected officers of the Convention:
Ex-Gov. MOSELEY, of Florida—Presi
dent.
Vice Presidents.—B. S. Bibb, Ala.; Win.
Terrell, Ga.; J. hn G. Gamble, Fla.; Joseph
D. Brvan, La.; N. B. Crowell, S. C.; R. S. Ar
cher, V.a.: Solomon MeAlninc, Ala.; James M.
Chambers, Ga.; N. B. Powell, Ala.; Thaddues
G. Holt, Ga.; N. VV. Phillips, Miss.; Thus. Af
fleck, do,, and L. B. Mercer, Ga.
Secretaries.—Nathan Bass, Ga.; Wm. P.
Gould, Ala.; and J. Knowles, Ga.
The Convention is very numerously atten
ded, an i is composed, of highly respectable
gentlemen from all sections ofthe Southern
States. Among the delegates we notice Gov.
Brown and Ex-Governor Mosely of Florida,
-.nd several other gentlemen of distineti >n
from the same State, from Virginia, Alaba
ma, Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Caro
lina. Georgia was very fully represented b
a multitude of her intelligent and enterpris
ing planters.
j The object of this Convention is. to de iso
j some plan to render the Cotton Planters of
j tiie South more independent of the vieissi
ttides of trade, and to secure for them a more
uniform pi ice for their great staple. We are
I not informed precisely what plan is proposed
I t attain this desirable end; but from the mtni
! her of delegates in attendance and the great
! amount ol the intelligence embodied in the
I Convention, we have no doubt that some
i scheme for practical utility will be devised.
! There can certainly’be nothing- iost by an at
i tempt of the kind. Merchants and Rankers
< have their conferences and conventions for
j purposes of mutual benefit and profit. Why
; should not the Planters avr.il themselves, a.i-
I so, of the advantages ofeo-opdratiui and <•- n-
I cert. No class of citizens is so completely
t ;.t the merev of others .as the pi anting inter*
st. Thiir.Very pm suit.-: isolate, them, an-.i
lbrbi ‘ those {•; i v eoiii'ereneus and iut.-rcum
mmdeatio! - wii di tire so benelicia.l to men
cry ; g-d in trade. They are, lwiive forced
to iv; upon others, upon whom .hey have
ii.ii few cheeks, and who transact itieir busi
ness only at a heavy cost These eviis can
certainiy be greatly modified ;>y judicious ac
tion on the part of the Planters ihemseives.
The great drawback of excessive production
might also be remedied to some extent, by a
general determination to diversify production
and to give more attention to manufactures
the rearing of stock, &c., &c.
The oee .si >n upo i which this Convention
has assembled we regart as propitious—as
exceedingly favorable for the production of
such results. It is the first real eilort to get
up a grand Southern exhibition. Its success j
must serve to convince every one that with
the proper energy, we can developc resources
and accomplish an industrial revolution that
must result in rendering ourpeople more tho
roughly independent. We are most happy
to hnd that the planters themselves are mov
ing in this matter. The assemblage at this
time of so large and intelligent a Convention,
cannot fail to result in great good to the coun
try at largo.

nobleman inthe Spanish Cabinet Coun

EXPERIENCES.
BY MAJOR PATTEN, U. S. ARMY.
About the world I’ve journeyed much
I've travelled far and near,
And my experience is such
As you shall shortly hear.
I've seen the worst—l've seen the best
Os (so called) human kind,
“Where all are busily in quest
Os what they never find. .
I've known a man who robbed the poor
And yet was rich himself,
Who drove the beggar from the door
. With plate upon the shelf.
I've seen a judge who justice sold,
Have heard a gamester pray
And known a wife that did not scold,
“l T |Hn a washing day.”
I’ve known a lawyer plead a cause
Who never sent his bill,
And known a doctor (not of laws)
Take his prescription pill
I’ve known a tradesman speak the truth,
I’ve heard a parson swear,
And knew a haekmn once in sooth,
Who charged but lawful fare.
I’ve known a person play at whist
“Who would not play at loo;
And known an abolitionist
Who did .1 slave pursue ;
To lavish i.n his offspring wild
A miser hoard his gold,
And seen a mother leave her eh Id
For stranger hands to hold.
I've seen a maiden who had slid
m
Who had a modest air,
And seen a belle who)seetning) did
Not know that sh was fair.
Once on a rail it was my lot
To get a “passage free,”
And on a steamer once I got
A decent cup of lea.
And I have seen, once in my life,
A husband, be it known,
Who did not treat his neighbor’s wife
Sonic better than his own ;
And also seen—l'll be (don’t wink 1)
As gentle as I can—
Sometime ago, it was—l think—
-1 saw an honest man.
From Coleridge’s Juvenile Poems.
Maid of my love, sweet Genevieve,
In beauty’s light you glide along ;
Your eye is like the star of eve,
And sweet your voice as seraph’s song,
Yet not your heav'nly beauty gives
This heart with passion soft to glow ;
Within your soul a voice there lives !
That bids you hear the tale of w oe.
When sinking low the sufferer wan
Beholds no hand outstretched to save,
Fair as the bosom of the swan
That rises graceful o’er the wave,
I’ve seen your breast with pity heave,
And therefore love I you, sweet Genevieve.
„ A *‘Sptmky” One.
A corrrespondent of the Charleston News
travelling on the Eastern Shore of Virginia
gives the following in one of his letters:
“We turned aside from our path for a space,
to visit an ob,ectof some curiosity, which is
one of “the lions” of “the Eastern shore.”—
This is an ancient vault, belonging to a mem
ber ofthe “Custis” family, a branch of the
same stock with which Washington inter
married, It lies upon a fine old farmstead
looking out upon “the Bay,” and occupies the
centre of a large field, the only prominent
object; sheltered by some old trees. The
vault is of white marble elaborately carved
iu Londoi, in a state of partial dilapidation.
The curious feature about it consists in its
inscription, which runs thus:
“Under this marble tomb lies the body of
the
llox. John Custis, Esq.,
of the city of Williamsburg and Parish of
Burton;formerly of llungar’s Parish, on the
Eastern shore of Virginia, and county of
Northampton: aged 71 years, ami yet lived but
seven years, which was the space of time he
kept :t Ba uielor’s Home at Arlington, on the
Eastern shore of Virginia.”
T iis inscription, we are told by another, on
the opposite side, “was put on the tomb by
his own positive order.” The gist of it, as
our lady re aders will be pleased to perceive,
consists in the*lincs we have italicised; the
force of which will be better felt and under
stood from the additional fact, which does not
appear, that this bachelor, who lived only in
his bachelor condition, was actuality mirried
three times. His experience, if we are to be
lieve his epitaph, was greatly adverse to the
idea of any happiness in the marriage state:
yet how strange that he should have ventured
thrice upon it! The natural conclusion is
that the Honorable John Custis \v ,s a
singularly just an 1 conscientious man,
who, unwilling to do the sex any wrong by
a premature judgment, gave them a fulf and
lair trial, at the expense of his own happiness,
and pronounced judgment only after repeated
experiments. Tradition has preserved some
anecdotes of the sort of experience which lie
enjoyed in the marriage state, one of which I
will relate. It appears that he was driving
out in his ancient coach with one of his wives
(and to do him justice, we must assure the
reader that he had but one at a time) and in the
neighborhood of the very spot upon which
we ourselves tire standing—Cape Charles. A
matrimonial discussion ensued between the
pair, which warmed as they proceeded. The
lord grew angry, the iady vociferous, “it was
a diamond, ’ said one—and “I insist,” quoth
tin; other, “that i, was a club. ‘’You will
dri-a- nr.* mad!” cried John Custis. “I should
eali that admirable driving!” retorted the
wife. “By —.” lie exclaimed, “if you
■>ay .an dlur word I win drive down into the
’ J: -i’ue were even then upon the. be eli.
•■Another word!” screamed the lady. “Drive
a re you ple.ise, shrs added—“into the se.a
i —I e.:; go as deep as you dare go any day?”
|He became furious, took her at her word,
and ban,ml,.; horses an I chariot into the
ocean. They begun to swim, lie held in.

Beautiful Car.—VVe had the pleasure
1 ist even n; of viewing one of the most bei.u
uful and highly finished c irs, just turned out
of the Georgia Railroad sh ip, that we ever
iooxed at. All its timbers ~re ot Georina
growth. The seats are made of Walnut, and
look nearly; or quite as well as those mad •
of Mahogany. On one side is a bcautif 1
view ot the City Hall of Augusta, and of the
trtoue Mountain as you pass it on the Geor
gia Railroad; and on the other a line northern
view of the same Mountain and a beautiful
view ot the Macon Female College. Th;
painting is executed in the finest styde. The
car will seat seventy-six persons quite com
fortably—and reflects the highest credit upon
the company’; both for its beauty and finish.
