Gentlemen of intelligence, favorable
to this interest, recently represented
that the NewEngland manufactures and
calico -printers w'otild, at the next ses
sion, withdraw their objections to the
exclusive protection ot iron-sacrificing,
in fact, to that idol the interests of iron
consumers in New England, without
any equivalent in additional protection
upon fin3 cottons, on prints woollens,
llaving heard this statement, I men
tioned it in a recent letter in your pa

denied in several Boston papers, and
particularly in an article m the Lai v
Advertise** It seems, therefore, that
the New England manufacturers will
take the same stand, next session, that
th'-y did at the last session, when they
counteracted the exclusive movement of
the Pennsylvanians.”
It is something even to have the

bounded within the present tariff heavy
and unequal as it is. On the contrary,
there are immensely powerful interests
at the North that claim to be on the
verge of ruin, because they do not re
ceive sufficient protection at the ex
pense of the agricultural sections. In
their greediness’ they have quarrelled
with each other, but the love of gain
will teach them to uuite, and the south
will soon have to meet the combined
forces of the plunderers, on the question
of making radical changes in the pres
cut tariff, which will effectually break
up all our foreign trade in coal and iron
and in all manufactures of cotton anil

Tjif. Auric Expedition—A dinner to
Mr. Grinnell, and the officers of the Ar
tie Expedition, was given at the Astor
House, in New \ork on Tuesday even
ing, hy the English residents of that city.
About one hundred and forty persons
sat aown, and the occasion appears to
have been one of much conviviality.—
Mr. Henry Grinnell offered the follow
ing toast on behalf his of father: “I he
Rescue of Sir John Franklin. May it
never be abandoned until Ins fate he
positively ascertained.” Midshipman
Grilliin declared it his opinion that the
search would be renewed the ensuing
spring, when the Advance and Rescue
would again leave this port under our
flag and under the patronage of Govern
ment. He declared the willingness of
every officer and man to rc-cnlist for
the expedition, and hoped,for himself
that he might be one of the’party. We
infer from these remarks that the search
is not yet abandoned.
An object of much interest was exhib
ited at the lower end of the room. It
was the American flag which Capt.
Wilkes carried in his antarctic expedi
tion, and Lieut. Dc Haven in his arctic.
It bore an inscriptionto the effect that
it was at the service ot any one who
would carry it farther.
Melancholy.—James B. Bishop, Jr.,
aged about 17 years, a son of one our
most worthy citizens, on Monday morn
ing last went on a hunting excursion,
and his non-return in the evening, was
a cause of much anxiety to his relatives
and friends. On Tuesday, strict search
was made for him. The last seen or
heard form was from a negro belonging
to Mr. Delaiglo, who saw him about 11-
o’clock oil Monday morning in the vicin
ity ot his master’s plantation. Every
exertion was made yesterday to discov
er him, without effect, until towards
evening, when his body was found in
the field of Dr Garvin, surrounded hy
a pool of blood. It is supposed he ac
cidenlly shot himself, and as his gun
was not found with him, the supposition
is that ho was endeavoring to make his
wav low. rds home, and il 11 where liis

We understand that it is in contemplation some

means for the immediate construction oft wo roads
—one to Stewart and the other to Meriwether.—
The question in all its bearings will be laid before
the meeting, and we hope to see a full assembly
and an earnest zeal on the occasion.
THE FAIR.
The Georgia and Alabama Agricultural
Society (formerly Muscogee and Russell)
hold their second annual fair, in this city on
the 2 )th Inst. From the notes cf prepara
tion anil the activity and bustle manifested
among the enterprising members of this as
sociation, we have reason to anticipate a fine
display of the products of the field, the gar
den, the barnyard, the dairy &c.
It is too late in the day to puff up exhibi
tions and institutions of thi i character, a s
highly useful to the country. They are but
the outward manifestations of that awakened
zeal in improvement and progress in the
physical resources and comforts of the South
which constitutes a cheering era in Southern
history, The South has just started in this
race of noble emulation. Heretofore, we have
been content with tho almost spontaneous
gifts of a fruitful soil and genial climate.
We have eaten our fruits as Nature made
them, and have not applied the skill and assi
duity which are necessary to give a more’ex
quisite color and flavor even to Nature’s
handiwork.
The South, and especially Georgia, is no
longer content, like. Quashee, to sit up to his
elbows in pumpkins, and eat nothing but
pumpkins because pumpkins grow without
labor. We are getting a taste for the best
fruits, for the finest breeds of cattle and hor”
ses—we wish to show that we can do as
well, what others have done. We wish to
devolepe this prolific country—and with the
plastic hand of art draw forth and shape into
glorious outlines of loveliness and utility, the
germs of abundance, wealth, and adornment
which a bountiful Providence has scattered
broadcast over our favored land. We are
panting for independence. We are becom
ing ashamed to buy from distant regions
what we can just as well raise at our own,
doors. We are mortified to see so simple an
article as hay —mere dried grass—shipped alii
the way from Portland and Kennebec in
Maine, to Apalachicola, reshipped four hun
dred miles of steam navigation to be consum
ed here, when [as good a grass for hay
springs spontaneously in every ploughed field
of the State. We are gettting tired of pay
ing a premium to the North for making our
buckets and tubs, and waggons and carriag
es, and saddles and harness'and shoes and
hats, nay, even to our potatoes, cheese and
J ‘ 1 ...AU, AtfliO DID
Tfm rvutoreesoi this disgust t our want ot
tTinfl. and of a thirsting for independence
I .. , -
w;t Cos thus force expression.
We have said the South has j lest started in
this race. Immense strides have been made in
a short time. Georgia alone has expended
some 13 millions of money in Rail-Roads,
very much to Yankee surprise—for it is the
fashion at the North to imagine that slavery
is an incubus upon enterprise. For the first
• time, two years ago, the State agricultural
| saeii y was formed, and who that looked up
on the display at Macon last month, can
doubt the mighty impulse already given to
improvement in the productions of the State?
The other day the cotton planters of the South
met in Convention. Their assemblage is
an era, in itself, and although, we have little
faith in combinations to control the operations
of the laws of supply and demand, we have
great confidence in the combination of heads
and minds and intelligences engaged in the
same great occupation. This Convention is
sure to instruct its own members and their
constituents in wisdom. They will learn
that they cannot “eat their cake and have
it.” They will learn that supply and demand
arc the reciprocal regulators of price-and that
the grand secret of Southern agricultural
success is diversified labor.
But in our judgement the great event of
that Convention was the mission of Mr.
Baylor, the American Consul at Amsterdam.
He comes to the South with a proposition
that if heartily adopted and carried out, will
prove the lamp of Aladin to the South. It
is the key to unlock the commercial fetters
which have so long bound us—it is the very
genius of Southern independence, and will
do more than all other projects to place the
Southern agricultural and exporting States in
their true position and relations with the com
mercial world. We of course refer to Direct
Trade. At this moment vessels are loading
in several of the Southern Ports direct for
Amsterdam, to return with European freights
direct to Southern Ports. The next step
will be to build our own ships, instead of
growing the lumber on our coasts and ship
ping it to the North to be built into ships.—
Success in these great enterprizes will
revolutionize the commerce ®f the coun
try. It will restore trade to its nat
ural direct channels, and break up that absurd
and circuitous system of interchange of pro
ducts and commodities which has been formed
by the power of Northern capital and the
weight of Northern energy.
But our pen is running away with our
space and *our readers’ patience. We only
meant to invite attention to th© Fair and end
to notice the published list of the com
mittees appointed for the occasion.
The Camrbrlls will be on the
24, h Inst. We learn that they h ive all of
the old troupe and two or three other vnlna
able additional members, making it the most
effective band of sable minstrels in the coun
try.
rzr* Tho Sm=H Pox has been giving the
Macon people some trouble. Mr. S Rose,
one of the editors of the Jonmal &. Messen
ger has had an attack, induced by an impru
dent visit to a small pox patient in the vicini
ty. The Mayor and the resident Physicians
in public cards announce that this is tho on
ly case in the city.
Mr. Rose’s attack was a mild one and he is
convalescent.
Two Hungarian officers, in New York*
have challenged the editor of the New \ork
Herald for publishing a letter reflecting on
Kossuth. Bennett declines that sort of in

lieved that the letter grossly misrepresents
the illustrious Magyar.

thus disposed of, comfortably tucked up and
nicely provided for, the curtain drops, and

part of the bnsinccs is that Mr. Toombs goes
to tho Senate as a Democrat ! Oh cracky!

had the! th irn Whigs relaxedtheirfatuous

Whig parly, and stood by the Northern Dem

MILIT DGEVtLLE, Nov. 8.
“The chieftopic in political circles for the lust two
or three days, has been the election of a United
18 laics St-Refor. The competitor! oftheniost pro
minent aspirant retired, one by one, and left Air.
Toombs exclusive master of the field. Yet, liis
nomination has not been effected without some
dissatisfaction and ill-feeling among the Constitu
tional Unionists, and his election will be at the
expense of some heart-burnings not easily’ healed.
After much persevering effort, and to the great
chagrin of many, both Union democrats and
wliigs who were unwilling to have it appear that
the Union party was got up for tho special purpose
of promoting Alessrs Cobb and Toombs, and w ho
are not very ardent admirers of the latter gentle
man, the lOith inst. has been fixed for the election.
Two caucuses of tlie Constitutional Unionists
have been held, at the latter of which, held last
night, at Brown’s Hotel, Air. Toombs, at file se
cond ballot, received the nomination. The meet
ing was not altogether like brethren dwelling to
gether’in unity, and a small fight was got up be
tween the editor of the Journal A Messenger and
Mr. Fannin, member from Troup, The combat
ants were separated before any claret was spill
cd.
Many members refused to attend the caucus.
Others, found out that Mr. Toombs was about to
be forced on them, took up their hats and left after
it was resolved to go into a ballot. A number
were opposed to a caucus nomination, considering
that there were none but aspirants for the office
on the Union side, the field should be left clear for
a fair race before the Legislature. Some were
disgusted at the Railroad speed with whieh the
election had been forced on,and disliked, as one
speaker expressed it, to be dragooned with such
hot haste into a caucus nomination. When final
ly, the first vote, was taken, it was found that only
78 votes were cast, of which Mr. Toombs received
68. On the second ballot that fortunate gentle
man received 73. As there are 140 Union mem
bers of the Lagislature, he received two more than
a majority of the Constitutional Union party.
After the nomination, Mr. Toombs made a
speech, in which no small degree of excitement
was exhibited, and the minority defied to defeat
tKe caucus nominee. Ah, lucky Mr. Toombs!—
There is a great difference between a nervous man
and a man of nerve. You who, hi politics, be
long to the latter class, know the sort of stuff you
have to deal with, and that the minerity you dared
to defeat you, belong to the category of nervous
men —who will not make, “/ dare not , wait up
on I would.’'’
Mr. Toombs’ election is safe- Another fact is
not less interesting, and lam sure to all Demo
crats who act on the motto, “Everything for the
cause , nothin* for men” it will bo pleasing in
the extreme. EfF’Mr. Toombs wil be elector! as
a Democrat. lie will even return to ‘Washing
ton City this winter and take his scat in the I loose
as a Democrat — yea, verily, as a Lnecfoea. one
of that once despised sect whom whilom he loved
to Jenounoe. Oh! Loeo-foeoism, what a sweet
revenue. Oh. Democracy, what a noble oration
to the corretanea* cf thy principles, and wisdom
of thy policy!
Welcome, Mr. Toombs, to 3 high seat, (yon j

FOR THE TIMES.
FLANK LOADS.
John FoRSYTn, Esa.
At the recent meeting of the citizens of Colum
bus, in regard to the subscription to Chunnenng
gee Railroad stock, I supported the appropriation
made by the city, and at the same time stated that
I would take another occasion to urge tq>on tho
citizens of Columbus the necessity of indicating to
the City Council the propriety of lending its aid
in the building of aline of Flank roads, as a means
of securing the present trade, with the loss of
which Columbus is threatened, and also of re
claiming a portion of that trade which lias already
been diverted by” our more energetic neighbors
who have taken the advantage of the somnolent
state into which, like Rip Van Winkle of old, we
had fallen.
Since the late meeting, “I have been urged by
many respectable merchants and other citizens of
Columbus to make good my promise ; and have
even been taunted with a want of energy in the
pursuit of a measure calculated to redound in ben
eficial results to our city. lam glad to see that
Columbus is really awake to her true interests,
and that her citizens desire to improve by art the
natural advantages with which our city is so pe
culiarly blessed.
I believe that with the completion of the Musco
gee Railroad, a work of internal improvement up
on which our prosperity, in a great measure de
pends, and the projection of a Flank road in the
direction of Lumpkin—that we can render innoc
uous, every effort ol Oglethorpe to divert our trade;
and that another Flank road reaching towards
Greenville will restore to Columbus much of the
trade now directed towards Newuan, Griffin and
other points ; this could be effected at a maximum
cost of $l2O 000, and if tho city would encourage
the enterprise by a subscription of $(10,000 pro
vided a similar amount can bo obtained from iiidi
vidual aubscriptions—l feel satisfied from the en
quiries that I have made that in this city alone, a
great part of the individual subscription would be
taken in 24 hours—the balance could [be made up
in the country, and the road put under way so as
to manifest its benefits in 12 months, and secure
its completion in 2 years. From the examination
that I have been enabled to give to this subject, I
am satisfied that the result of the experiment will
show, that as a mere investment of capital, it wil]
prove the most productive stock in the southern
country, and that the impulse given by the build
ing of the roads herein suggested, will be followed
up by extended lines of road, which will bring
trade from all quarters to that city which for its
size lias more actual capital and greater natural
advantages than any other city of similar extent
and population in the State of Georgia.
I cannot in a newspaper communication do jus
tice to the advantages of Plank Roads (off of a
main route of travel) as a means of transportation,
but I am perfectly willing at any time that maybe
su< gested after Monday next, to address the eiti
xei.s of Columbus upon tiwjmp
Lumpkin and Grenville. Yours, Ac.
Tv. J. MOSES.

‘ Consul to Havana.-—We clip the follow
ing announcement from the National Intelli
gencer of the Bth inst:
Appointment dy the President.—W. L.
Sharkey; to be Consul of the United States
at Havana, in the Island of Cuba; in place of
Allen F. Owen, recalled.
Kossutii in England. —Kossuth arrived at
Southampton on the 231 of October, and was re
ceived on landing by the Mayor and an immense
concourse of people. He was addressed by the
Mayor, to whom he replied briefly but in eloquent
and appropriate terms. Ife was visited on the fol
lowing day by Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. Cobden,
M. P., and many distinguished gentlemen. Ear
ly on Monday morning, the 27th ult. lie reached
London. His arrival, however, was unexpected,
and he met with no mark's of popular demonstra
tion. Lord Palmerston had made known his de
sire to receive him unofficially. He was to have
returned to Southampton on Tuesday, the 28th
ult., in time to be present at a banquet which was
to have been given to him in tho Town Ilall of
that town on that day.
Two Ghosts to one Hamlet.—Strange
things occasionally occur in a theatrical life.
Some few years ago at a benefit given to a
fire company, in Philadelphia, anew aspirant
for histrionic’honors appeared on the boards
of the Wall street Theatre. The play was
“Hamlet.” Just before the curtain rose, the
gentleman engaged to play the “Ghost,”
struck for higher wages, and the Manager
was forced to supply his place us best* he
could.
In due time the play went on, and the
“ghost” in blue armor appeared, saying, in the
usual lugubrious tone—
“ Hamlet, l am thy father's ghost!”
When, even as the Prince of Denmark was
contemplating the image of his father’s ghost,
a voice was heard from another wing—
“ Don't you believe him, Hamlet; I am
your father’s ghost—this fellow underbid
me.”
And with the word, another ghost (in blue
armor, of course.) stepped on the stage.
The embarrassment of Hamlet was. ex
treme.— Tu'o ghosts of one father; both dress
ed in blue armor, sjieaking at once, and each
claiming to be the ghost Simon Pare—as j
thus,
“Hamlet, lam thy father’s ghost!” l*S Hn
No. 1. * _ .
“No, Ha mint, I'm yonr fathers ghost. - cri
ed No. 2.
“Doomed for a certain time to walk the
earth,” continued No 1.
“No, Hamlet,” said Ghost No. 2 insinua
tingly “it’s me that’s doomed to walk the
oarth, not him. You see he plays tor fivo
dollars a week, and I would not do it under
six. I'm your fhther’s ghost Hamlet.”
At this juncture, while Hamlet stood look
ing {Tom one to the other; in most unprineely
contusion, No. I.again rallied —■
“I could a talc unfold,” ho said.
“All fudge. Hamlet: it’s me that could the
tale unfold.” cried Ghost No, 2. “This fel
low ain't got any tale to unfold. I’m your la
ther’s ghost ray boy.”
At this crisis the curt-dri fell, leaving Ham
let to settle the matter wish the two ghosts
behind the scene while the audience were
shedding tears, but not of sorrow. —Cleveland
Plain Dealer.
Movement of Cotton.—The sales of
Cotton in New Orleans, says the Cres
cent., during the last month (October)
were, in round numbers, one hundre
andForty Thousand tmles, against receipts
in the same time of one hundred and fifif
ty thousand. The exports were ninety
one thousand, and the stock remaining
on hand last evening was one hundred
and fourteen thousand bales.
Direct Trade.—The New York correspond
ent of the Savannah Republican says :
“The message of Governor Towns, of your
State, reached hereby this day’s mail, and is get
ting’a very general reading, especially from our
merchants, some of whom (in the shipping inter
ests) arc not over enamored with the “direct trade”
notions of the executive, seeing as they do, in its
enforcement, in the way of freight commissions,
etc. This is a selfish sentiment however, and one
I am quite sure that will never be able to stand
Jong in the way of a great State like Georgia,
“setting up for herself.” Georgia is able enough
now, if she will but try, to carry her own Cotton
and Rice, in her own vessels, so as to put freights
and commission into the pockets of her own mer
chants, instead of those of Boston and New Fork.
The Washington correspondent of
the New Orlcnps Delta expresses the opin
ion. decidedly that lion. Stephen A. Douglass
of Illinois, will he the next democratic candi
date for President. He also adds that it
is the opinion of many leading whigs
from Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, that
Gen Scott can carry those three great States
triumphantly. He then says that the majori
ty of the National Whig Convention will be
in favor of Scott, unless Henry Clay is pre
set ted by his friends for the nomination.
