COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, DEC UMBER 2 1851.
Trial of Mr. Thrather.
The New York steam packet Empire
City, arrived at New Orleans, Thursday
mor ting, with dates from Havana to the
17th inst., which she left on the noon of
that day. Shp brought a letter to the
Picayune, which confirms the news of
the conviction of Mr. Thrasher, and
gives a pretty full account of the pro
ceedings at his trial. They were a mere
mockery of justice, and were marked
by more tyrannical outrages than have
disgraced any court since the infamous
trials of Raleigh and Sydney. It will
be observe 1 that Mr. Thrasher was
tried hy a court martial in time ofpeace:
that Mr. Consul Owen did not appear in
his defence ; and that the acting “de
fensor” was evidently in collusion with
his enemies, and actually made no de
fence at all, but submitted him as guilty
to his fate. We append the account of
the proceedings, forwarded to the Pica
yune.
The Trial.
The trial of Mr. Thrasher has caused
among the reflecting Americans the
greatest surprise and even anxiety for
themselves. His trial took place on the
Pith before a court martial, which ad
journed after hearing the autos read,
and listening to Mr. T.’s protest,]to meet
again yesterday to pronounce sentence.
This has not been made public ; but pri
vate information reports that it is “eight
yeirs hard labor in Spain.” T.iat you
may be able to judge fully of the case,
I will give some facts which preceded
Mr. Thrasher’s arrest as well as a full
report of the subsequent proceedings.—
He came to the tslnnd many years since,
and under the law which compels ali
foreigners to take out a “carla de dom
icilio,” (letter of domicil,) he, as they
say, became a Spanish subject. The
carta domicilio has always been con>
sirtered as mere formality, only persist
ed in under old laws, dating from Octo
ber 21, 1817, for the purpo-e of raising
the revenue derived from them. ‘1 hese
letters expressly say that at the end of
five years, th.’ person must proceed to
naturalize himself or leave the island.—
Mr. Thrasher, besides several shorter
absences, spent at one time about one
year and a half in the United State*.—
The term of his domicil had long pre
viously expired, and since his return he
has neither renew ed his domicil nor has
he been naturalized.
On the sth of September, 1850, the
Government issued an order directing
him to discontinue the editorship of the
Faro , unless he would become natural
ize 1 upon the ground that he was a fore
igner, and none but persons owing al
legiance to her Majesty could be allow
ed to edit a newspaper. Arrangements
were made by which a “born subject of
the Queen” became the responsible ed
itor. The rapid rise of the paper in
public estimation, excited the animos
ity of the other editors, especielly him
of the Dir ode la Marina. For months
this paper daily attacked ‘ Jonatas,” as
Thrasher was styled by its editor, with
attempts at ridicule, and with billinsga
gate too gross for any other; but the
Faro kept on its upward pace. On the
Ist of September last an order was is
sued, without assigning any reason
whatever, f r the suspension of its pub
lication. Mr. Thrasher was thus arbit
rarily deprived of his property and bus
iness employment. His active mind
led him to make it his [business (as it
was also his pleasure) to minister to 4IlO
wants of prisoners then here His'ser
vices in this matter are well known j
but not so well known the odium he
thus drew upon himself. He was watch
ed by police agents dtessed in citizens’
cloths but without giving any ground
for proceeding against him. Despairing
of being able to obtain cause for further
proceeding, his enemies here conceiv
ed a base plot, from which mere acci
dent saved him.
Orders were sent to one of the numer
ous spies in your city to deliver to the
, clerk of the steamer a letter directed to
Thrasher, to be delivered intojhis own
hands and no others. When the steam
er was expected two officers in plain
clothes were put upon his track, with
orders to follow him on board the steam
er and not to lose sight of him on his
return, and to arrest him the moment
hesetf otonshore. Fortunately Thrash
er did not get on board the steamer un-
I til some time after she was visited. The
clerk seeing Fulton’s runner, gave him
the letter directed to John S. Thrasher
but without any charge respecting its
delivery, except saying that he was told
it was tor Thrasher, notwithstanding the
misspelling of the name.
Thrasher was arrested on landing, but
nothing was tound upon him. His of
fice was searched, all his papers seized,
as also a letter lying in his desk with the
seal unbroken, which proved to be the
letter from New Orleans. The chief of
police handed him the letter and told
him to open it, atiu even insisted upon’
his obedience.
Thrasher’s suspicion swere probably
excileci by the anxiety shown ami by
the error in the name and refused to
open it unless upon the responsibility
of the chief police.
This iettcr on being opened, proved to be a
combination of figures an.l words imitating a
letter in cypher. Among some loose paper.
Was found a card with figures arranged like
a divining c; rd for telling the age of any per
son, which he. had arranged to amuse the
children of a friend. The arrest and seizure
of his papers took place on the lfith of Octo
ber, on the 1) or 20th he was put into solita
ry confinement, and so remained until the
f/th of this month. During this period some
person made the attempt to communicate
with him, by sending a paper concealed in a
roll of bread. It was detected; his father and
brother were arrested, but released so soon
as their depositions were taken; nine other
depositions were taken upon the same matter.
His friends, from this great stir, feared anoth
er plot, and that he migt’t be compromised
by it. On the 12 h, a causejo de guerra
(e iqrt martial) was convened to sentence
him. The proceedings commenced,after the
court had heard mass, with reading the autos.
These are all the papers relating to the case,
and the written depositions of the prisoner
and such witnesses as the fiscal (prosecuting
attorney) chooses to examine. The deposi’
tions are in the form of questions asked of
him. If a prisoner refuses to answer any
question, it is presumptive evidence against
him, and has ranch weight. As I said bc
oie this digression, the autos were read , but
in the whole of about a ream of sealed pa
per there was not a shadow of proof that the
prisoner had committed any a, t, or even ut
tered any . -pinion before his arrest, inimical
to the Government.
Much importance was attached to the two
following paragraphs in his own declaration,
“I believe all foreigners are bound to obey
the laws. ’’l do not think that entertaining
an opinion favorable to a reform of the abus
es of a vicious and eoirupt administration,
can be called conspiracy against the Govern
ment.” The allegation that he sent the
declaration of independence, and wrote letters
to the American papers, was reiterated, but
no proofs adduced.
liis denial, published here and there, did
“THE UNION OF THE STATES AND THE SOVEREIGNTY Ol THE STATES.’*
not appear. The most important document
unon which two arrests and eleven witnesses
wjre examined, appeared and pro (6 to be .
scrap of aSp inish newspaper, announcing
the arrival of the Cyane, in this port, and with
the ominous words in pencil, “Sharkey has
been appointed Consul,” from which the wor
thy fiscal infers that Thrasher aspired to the
office and expected to have obtained the ap
pointment.
The letter in cypher sppears in the autos,
also the di fling card, as its key; but the stu
pid fellows even with this key cannot make
treason or any intelligible reading out of its
contents. Tlie autos conclude with five spe
ei ica ions under the general charge of iufi
ieneia, (u ‘faithfulness )
1 hostility to tlie Government *ind per
version of fi.ets in letters sent, to American
papers.
2 Illicit correspondence with the piratical
organs, Delti, Picayune and Sun.
3. Frauds on the post-office, by getting
letters direet from steamers.
4. Sending tlie so-called declaration of in
dependence to New Orleans.
5. Having two letters in cypher, such as
used by the pirates.
The fiscal then asked of the court a sent
ence of eight years’ imprisonment at hard la
bor, and prohibition lo return to this island
or Porto Rico.
The defensor was now called upon to de
fend his client, which he did, in the terms of
which the following is from the memory of
one well versed in the language, a verbatim,
translation. After enumerating his grade, ti
t es and decorations, he sdd:
Mr. President —My client is accused of vis
iting the steamers, and he confesses that he
did; bet I can see no crime in his going* on
board of steamers from l.is own country, as
he says, 0 see his friends and others. My
client is a'so accused of hostility to this Gov
ernment, and of visiting tlie pirates while
they were in prison, I do not think this proves
him an accomplice in their iinf.unous designs,
for he was then free, and, if he chose,could
have joined them; but he did not do so, but
kept quiet at home, and did not take arms in
his hand . Itl erefo e ask of this court to
commute fiis sentence to perpetual banish
moi t from this island where all his dearest
tics are. 1 have nothing further to say.
The President, Brigadier Vargas, then or
dered the prisoner to be brought into court.
He was brought up under a guard of sol
diers. Af'.er answering the usual questions
of name, age, and all tlie othe s, except that
of nativity , the President asked:
Are you domiciliated.’
A is.—Yes.
Quest. —Were you domiciliated from choice
or compelled by the authorities?
A.—i do not remember.
Q. —Is your head disordered affecting
your memory?
A.—lt is not.
Q —Were yon molested when you became
domiciliated?
A.—Ni t to my recollection.
Q.—Did not your letter of domiciliation
give you all the piivilegt sos a born subject?
A.—l supposed it would, but I found my
error. Any Bp. niard t o 1.1 edit a paper which
I was not allowed to do.
Q —Did you not afterwards write for the
paper?
A.—d did not say anything about writing
for tha paper. 1 said 1 was not allowed to
edit one.
Q. —What was your business previous
id?
A.—l was agent for a commercial
house.
Q. —What do you mean by this?
A.—An agent to buy and sell for my prill”
cipals.
Q. —How long were you their agent?
A.—About two years.
Q. —What did you follow after that?
A.—l bought the Faro Industrial and em
ployed myself in the editorship until I was
ordered to cease to act as its editor.
Q. —Do you know the chargos against
you?
A.—l do not
Q. —llow can that be?
A.—Because I have not heard them, nor
been allowed to see tlie autos.
Q, —Did not your defen tor see you?
A. —I have seen him twice for about two
minutes ea. h tim
Q. —D : d you not see the autos when you
wrote in them your declaration? -
A.—l saw what I wrote myself, but was
not allowed to see any other part.
The President here ordered the cha g
es to be rend to him. The court also vailed
for the reading of those parts of the prisoner’s
declaration before cited.
Question by lhe President. —Are those your
opinions?
A.—They arc.
Q. —For what purpose did you visit the
American steamers?
A.—To see if any friends hid come in
them, and beg such paptrs as the cleik might
give me.
Q,. —Did you not send the declaration if
independence to be printed in the American
papers?
A.—l did not. The first I knew ot it was
seeing in the papers here the assertion
made, and immediately denied the truth of
it.
Q. — Why then do they accuse you and no
other person?
A.—l do not kuow. lam only acqidintcd
personally with one editor in New Orleans,
Mr. Kenedy, (or a similar name-)
Y —Did you not fear being called to an
swer this charge?
A, —I did fear accusation for what I was
not guilty of, upon the simple asset tion of
my enemies.
Q. —Was the letter in cypher written to
you?
A.—l know nothing about it except that it
was found unopened in my room after my
arrest.
Q,. —Is your room always open?
A.—Always during the day time.
Q.—Did you think all these things you
have done right’
A.—l have done nothing wrong.
The President here addressed some m i i
eai and puerile remarks to the court, saying
to this eiicd:
lie thought it mere child’s play, and very
easy to revolutionize the island and reform
the laws; easier than t > edit a paper, or go to
another county where the laws were good.—
It was not wrong to invade our homes and
cut our throats. He thought he could do all
this and yet escape punishment, because he
is a foreigner.
To the prisoner
Have you anything further to say befor
the court proceeds to pass its sentence upon
yout
A.—Nothing except to read tho memorial
I sent to you, and which you rejected.
By tbe President.
You ©an now read it?
Thrasher then read the document, which
was well drawn up, protesting against the ju
risdiction of the court on the ground that he
was an American citizen, aud could not be
unfaithful where he owed no allegiance, and
alleged treaty stipulations.
[The President interrupted him, and for
bade his making use of the words “American
citizen” a id “treaty stipulations.”
Thrasher alleged that he had been for
seventeen days in solitary confinement: thtt
after tho ineommunication was nominally re
moved it was not really done, and he was on
ly allowed two hours each day to see his re
h tives, consult with his friends, Consul and
1 gd advisers; that bis ignorsnreof thechar-
g s prevented hi n from producing testimony
to prove his innocence; that the defensor ap
pointed by the Government to defend lim
was incompetent, and had not in the least in
formed himself of the merits of the ease.
The President aiked:
Have you anything further to add?
A.—N.(thing, except to reiterate my pro
test against the whole proceedings.
The President showed much vexation and
ordered him to be removed, which was done
escorted by soldiers. The defensor was then
asked v hether he had anything further to
say? Ho answered “Nothing,” and the court
then adjourned to meet again yesterday, the
lslh. The prisoner was informed, not offi
cially, that his sentence was recorded and
sent up for the approval of the Assesssor and
the Captain General, and is “Eight tears
at hard labor in Spain and moreover in
formed, “You will probably be seni to the
.quicksilver mines.”
If this ease t>e allowed to pass over in sil
ence, every American in the island, but espe
cially such as have been unfortunate enough
to make Spanish enemies, must leave the
island w ith all speed, and at whatever sacri
fice of property he maybe compelled to sub
mit to. Even this communication if traced
to me, or even if any one should assert that I
had written and sent it for publication, might
send me to to meet Thrasher in .hnudera.
The case from first to last, has been car
ried on in direct and flagrant violation of all
Spanish law. The Codicode Commcrcio,ar
ticle 19, says all the foreigners even not do
miciliated, may employ themselves in trade,
in accordance with rules laid down in treaties,
and when such rules are laid down, shall en
joy all the privileges and immunities which
Spaniards enjoy in the country where the
foreigner comes from. Article £2, of the
Bando de buen Gobi rno. says “no foreigner
shall reside more than three months in the
island without taking out a domiciiiatory
letter.” Article 30, of the new regulations,
says the domiciiiatory letter is that which au
thorizes foreign subjects to reside more than
three months, employing themselves in com
merce or any other useful industry. Article
32 prescribes a fine of from fifty to one thou
sand dollars for delinquency in this matter.—
The letters of domicile expressly state that
the letter is good for five years, and that at
the expiration of that term the foreigner must
become naturalized or leave the island.
In September ot last year the Government
refused to allow Thrasher to edit a paper, be
cause he owed no allegience to the Queer,
in dir ct viol ition of the Codico dt Comercio.
In September of this year, they again infring
ed tlie same law,and probably upon the same
grounds, although none were given.
They now claim him ns a Spanish subject,
and trv him by court-martial in time of peace
and quite, in direct violation_of treaty stipula
lations and of their own laws. lie is con
demned under proceedings, every step of
which is illegal. They now demand allegi
ance from him who but a year ago was a for
eign subj.-ct.
In short, every step has been an infraction
of law, treaty and previous decisions. The
Americans here hope that at last the supine
ness of our Government will be, thrown off,
and an example given for future guidance in
similar eases. UNCLE SAM.
Regatta of all Nations —The sore
ness of defeat still shows itself in the
members of the naufical pr. session in
England in consequence of the Ameri
can triumphs in the recent Yacht race.
The idea of superiority in any form or
degree on the el ment which has been
the great theatre ofßvitish eminence, is
nottobe endured. Pre-eminent lias been
the only word admitted in the English
naval vocabulary, wh Ist measuring the
relative merits of building, navigating
or flighting ships This term has lest
its spell, which kept other nations trom
the field of competition, and silently re
signed the superiority to one. The
latest proposition to test the relative
merits of different countries has been
made by proposing a grand Regatta of
all nations which has the great Exhibi
tion brought ail the industrial capacities
of countries into rivalry, so a Regatta,
including all, will bring into competi
tion their maritime capabilities. A
British ■ ffleer proposes this scheme in
the f Bowing terms:
“IsEngland, the greatest naval power
the world ever knew, to allow herself
beiiten in her own element ? Our se
curity, perhaps our very existence as a
tree nation, depends upon our naval
superiority. Our pre-eminence as a
commercial pe pie will in future depend
greatly upon the speed of our ships.—
Let us then challenge the whole world
to compote with us in naval architec
ture at a grand regatta of all nations —
comprehending men-of-war, merchant
ships, and yachts—in like manner as
we have done thisyearin arts, sciences,
and manufactures. Let the different
kinds of vessels be classed, and let
every vessel which enters for the com
petition pay a certain sum of money to
wards a grand vase for the winning na
tion (having an appropriate insciption)
as a national trophy to be placed in its
academy of arts. £>f course there might
be, in addition, oteor prizes, honorary
or otherwise, for each class. I will ven
ture to say that such a grand regatta of
all nalionjwould do more toimprove ship
building iu one year, than it has been
improved, comparatively, for the last
hundred years.’
Large Sale of Real Estate.— The
Charleston Standard says: “One of the
largest sales of Real Estate, which has
taken place in our city, for many years
past, is that of the late A/ordecai Cohen,
which was disposed of at auction yester
day morning, 17th inst., by Louis D. De-
Saussure, and realized $156000. It was
bought by different purchasers.”
Commerce of the United States.—
The Journal of Commerce reports, from
information derived from a reliable
source, that the imports into thc United
State.s for the fiscal year ending June
30, 1851, were §210,000,000, and the ex
ports from the country for the same
period were §lßß,ooo,ooo—showing an
excess of imports over exports of §22-
000,000. The exports as stated, we pre
sume, include those of specie, of which,
from the port of ATew-York alone, more
than thirty five millions have gone for
ward since JaHuary last to this date.
ftA?”Miss Catharine Hayes, it appears,
ivhen she came to the United Slates,
was employed by Mr. Beale, a music
publisher of London, at §30.000 a year;
subject to a forfeit of 15,000, in case the
e ntract was broken. Mr. Wardell, of
New York, contracted with Mr. Beale,
on her leaving London, for her services
for one year in the United States, at
§90,000 Miss Hayes, having become
dissatisfied with the arrangement, a few
days ago, inforfned Mr. Beale’s agent
in New Ybrk,that she would break the
contract, pay the §15,000 forfeit, and
hereafter give her concerts on her own
aecount. They will be resumed in
New York in a few days.

Thanksgiving Day.— There will be religions

M. on Thursday the 27t‘: inst.
To-morrow is Thanksgiving Day— re
commended by the Governor of Georgia, and
set apart by the Executives of nearly
every State in the Union. Our churches
will observe it, and we hope the citizens gen
erally.
Mllt.edgevii.le. —The House has decided
that Messrs. Williams and Baynes, sitting
members from Jasper county are not, and
that Messrs. Blackwell-and Lane, contesting
members are, entitled to seats in that body.
“The Campbells’’ opened on Mondry
evening to a thin house, on account of tlie very
inelement weather. They have made some addi
tion* to th* troupe since their hist visit. We miss
Murpiiv in the burlesque opera. His falsetto
was admit ably adapted to the Priina Donna inf
lations. In Rumsey, tlie loss is fully compensated
in another tine. He makes a great “‘darkey” with
his banjo, ami fine person and voice.
Tho Campbells, without doubt, are capital
chorus singers, an.l their Ethiopian orchestra is
drilled to very near perfection. But what they do
best , they do the least of. If they would give us
more such choruses a* they pang ou Monday
(No. 2 of the programme) and a litllo less of the
banjo and jig, their entertainments would lx.
greatly iniprpved according to our taste. We
think it probable, however, that they have studied
the public taste better than we have, and know
l(eat what will draw. Draw , th. v always do, and
if the weather proves favorable, we look for a full
house every night of their stay.
HARD TO PLEASE.
Tlio coalition unionists are hard to please.
Last year they entertained the public with
peodical and well affected li is of hysterics
at the abominable, heretical and damnable
disunion sentiments and purposes of the
Fire-eaters. They conjured and they threat
ened—they rustled the stars and the stripes
and delicately insinuated the potential vir
tues of hemp; and they finally kicked the
Southern Rights people to the , ac
companying the exodus with homilies on un
ion fraternity and scraps of the farewell ad
dress. Now, the scene changes. The South
ern Rights Party ceases its opposition to the
compromise. It submits to it; and does every
thing except acknowledge it was a good thing
per se. It proposes to do, ex ictly what the
union party has all along urged, stand by
the union for better or for worse, on the ba
sis of the compromise, and forego disunion ag
itation until the compromise is violated—at
which time the unionists themselves are
sworn on the •‘Hamilear” altar to tight and
‘•break things.” Now, one would most rea
sonably suppose that honest unionites would
be delighted with this placable spirit of the
fire-eaters—hail them as returned prodigals,
kill the fatted calf, and have a tremendous
jubilee, in consideration not only that the
union was saved, but that its enemies (that's
a union fib) had grounded their arms for the
present and were waiting for the appointed
time of the Unionists themselves to “ bust
this glorious union up.”
But droll to tell, these chaps are madder
than ever with the fire-eaters. If they were
chafed because wo disagreed with them, they
are right down furious because we now agree
with them. They are the funniest people
wc ever did see. They ridicule and abuse
us, jibe and taunt, and grin and sniggle, all the
grimaces of all the monkey tribes, and all the
growls and sulks of Hircanian bears and ti
gers are put into practice to deter Southern
Rights men from admitting that the compro
mise question is settled mid from acting ac
cordingly. Now, what does all this mean ?
It does not t ike a Sphynx to unravel this
riddle. It means Hypocrisy. It means a
weak wish (sticking out a fool) to monopo
lize all the glory of saving the union, and a
most philanthropic purpose to keep down
the truly Southern and Union party—the S.
Rights party—to keep it sunk under the odi
um of an unpopular and false name. It means
that the false humbug, that the Southern
Rights thirty was a disunion partyper se, is
to maintain its vitality yet longer for coali
tion purposes, and in order that YVhiggcry
may yet awhile keep its cloven foot firmly
fixed (ri the neck ofdown trodden Southern
P >rty.
Now we .ire not disposed to indulge tliese
hypocrites in any such amiable intentions.
We are going act on things as \vc find them.
We are going to lie on the political bed that
the people of the South, under the false
guidance of unionists have spread for u.
New action and now parties spring natural!'-,
from new political crises. The Union victory has
been so very decisive that it has left no doubt
about past issues.- For the future, we do not ask
Constitutional Unionism to indicate our courv.
Wc take our stand, in spite of its lamentations
and in unmingled contempt for its sneers. We have
been grinned at by Constitutional Unionism before
and we understand to a “gnat's heel’’ the precis
value of Constitutional Union nmntebank contor
tions. They may go where they please—they
may remain perched on the finer, where, tluir
master Toombs has p'ac and them,hanging out like a
squeezed wet rag to dry and w aiting for somebody
to come and take them down—they may go to
Baltimore, Philadelphia or to Iftlifax, if
they want to. But a* for our “single self,” wa
intend to do our might to keep this Government
out of the hands of the great Federal Whig party,
now thoroughly sectionalized and abolitionized.—
All the signs of the times point to the event, th; t
the next Presidential battle will be fought by two
parties—the Democratic party and tho Aboli
tion party.
The fifty dollar gold ingots issued in

Conviction under the New Postage
Law. —At the late term of the United States
District Court, held at lowa City, Isaac
Sloan was convicted of using Post Office
Stamps a second time, and sentenced to pay

Co.'.v.ctios of Mr. Thrasher.— This gen
tlemnn has been found guilty of treason and
sentenced to the chain gang in Spain for
light years. The Mobile Register makes
the f Bowing remarks in which we fully con
cur.
_ ‘ Thii news will thrill w ith painful and in
dign nt emotions, throughout this country.
Sufficient information inis heretofore been
elicited to show that Concha and his myrmi
doins, have, m this matter, acted in the most
arbitrary and despotic, manner. A peaceful
and generous American citizen, w ho had com
mitted no otic nee but tendering his sympa
thies & charities, to his suffering and unfortu
nate. countrymen, is seized without notice,
thrown into a dungeon, and denied the ordi
nary opportunities of obtaining evidence in
his defence. Fora long time he was refused
a trial, hut now it scents that the absurd and
ridiculous forms < t Cuban justice have been
gone through with, and of course, he has been
convicted. We are told that Consul Chven
appeared as counsel in his defence! This,
when tho character of that functionary is re
membered.—h;s culpable indifference, and
base neglect towards the American prisoners
will strike the public mind, as almost as
great a farce, as the proceedings themselves
\\c wait with strong anxiety, to hear what
evidence was adduced against'Mr. Thrasher.
If the Spanish authorities have not made out
his guilt beyond question, we anticipate that
it w ill rouse a feeling in this country which
will require his immediate release, or the ‘re
sort lo immediate hostilities, with her Cath
olic Majesty.
GREELEY ON TOOMBS,
The X. Y. Tribune introduces with a do
gnerreotypo sketch two new Senators, Mr.
Jones of Tennessee and Mr. Toombs of Geor
gia. P/e copy below the picture of the Geor
gia Senator. It is complimentary to Mr.
Toombs that Greeley does not like him. Mr.
Greeley thinks Mr. A. 11. Stephens is tho
greater man of the two. We differ with
him. There are more points of sympathy
between Greeley and Stephens than between
Greeley and Toombs. We must do Mr
Toombs the justice to say that he hates the
Abolitionists—but his colleague once said
“libotty has charms for mo everywhere.”—•
Grweley therefore cottons more to the ‘‘Bale
Star” than to the “Great Boar.”
‘-Robert Toombs is ‘a horse of another
color.’ He h s been a Whig ever since the
old ‘State Rights’ or Craw ford party of Geor
gia bolted from Jacksonistn, was a Member
of the Legislature at twenty-five years of
age, and has been a member of Congress
since Dee. 1843—six years. We met° him
too at Philadelphia in 1-48, but in a very
different mood from that of Gov. Jones.—
lie was one of the fifty or sixty members
who came on to dragoon the Convention into
Taylorism, and repeatedly proclaimed that if
Mr. Clay should be nominated, lie and uis
confederates would run Gen. Taylor as a
stump candidate, and that ‘the South’ would
vote for him. They succeeded, as audacity

—Mr. Toombs was rather an influential
member of the XXAth Congress, but neith
er s-> ; o‘ent nor so influentially placed on
I Cos:: in ttees as he thought himself entitled to
j bo. Ho \v s consequently in rather an acid
j mood dining the last session of it, and espc*
i ci illy out of humor with Speaker Winthrop,
J who did not pet him as he thought he de
serve 1. Mr. T.’s manners are by no means
of the blandest, and he is capable of person
ating a bear with considerably fidelity when
things do not suit him. At the opening of the
last (XXX Ist) Congress, he determined to
defeat M •*. Winthrop’s re-election to the
Speakership, and had influence enough to
earn - with him his colleagues, Stephens (a
I far abler and st- onger man.) and Owen, with
Moiton ( f V irginia, (who has just been paid
oil by lnsconstitu nts,) and Cabell ofFlorida;
and tl cse sufficed, by throwing nwaytheii
votes, to defeat Mr. Winthrop, and ultimate.
Iv elect Mr. Cobb, the Opposition candidate.
I Here was the first germ of‘the Union party,,
which his since ehos n Mr. Cobb Coverin'r.
and now made Mr. Toombs Senator.
Well: this is not at all bad. Whether Mr.
T. will ever be Whig again, wc cannot guess
probably not But he takes the place of Mr.
! Berrien, who in public life had outlived his
usefulness, and is naturally inclined to twad
dimg, while Tm mbs h generally round,
trank and straightfirward. lie is* not only
opposed in the abstract to any outrageous
plundering of tne Treasury,'but lie don’t
care x\ h run he offends in saying so. Asa
habitual advocate or Economy and Retrench
ment, he was greatly needed in the Senate,
and c: nnot faii to do good there. He is still
quite a young man, rather under the medium
size, with a fresh, florid countenance, be
speaking a hitherto successful struggle with
the i ares of fife.”
U°n John M. Berrien, as our Wash
ington Correspondent correctly observes, has
yet two years to serve in the Senate before
he makes way for .Mr. Toombs. So the lat
ter can serve through his fourth term in the
House and then step across the Rotunda on
the morning of the 4th of March 18 3 into
a snug casy-chuir in the Senate for the next
six years, commencing his Senatorial c. re r
with the called Session which will pass on
President -s Cabinet and Diplomatic
nominations. Some men were born to rood j
luck— for instance,-. Toombs— but it really
looks as though tbji senatorial election mmht i
have stood over till the next Legislature !
meets, five months before any new U. S. Sen
at or will be needed. This would certainly
have ooked as well, but then it might not
have turned ont so well for Mr. Toombs.— V

from Oglethorpe to Pensacelc, para Bel and

hi palpable to the dullest comprehension.
These tw o rival roads running throughout
them whole length at a distance from each
other of not more than front ffiirty to fifty
miles, could not be constructed .nor kept np,
but at the loss of the stockholders. Besides
as regards Savannah-fPr her aid will doubt

so liberally to a road whose completion win

Mr Moore reported a Bill to authorize thff
consolidation of the stock of the Georgia It
Road Company, and the Washington Flank-
Kona Company.
A message was received from his Excel
lency the Governor, transmitting (in compli
ance with a resolution of the Senate) the re
turns of tho last election concerning tho
mode of electing Judges; which return showed
avo.e in favor of giving said election to tho
people of 37,443, against a vote of 30 )2 in
in favor ot the present mode.
Mr. Harmon reported a Bill to authorize

The Senate adjourned until to-morrow
morning at 10 o’clock.
. IN TIIE HOUSE.
The House mot at the usual hour, sus
pended the order of the day, and took
up the Bid to form two new Judicial
Districts. The discussion of this Bill oc
cupied the whole morning in which
Messrs. Tift, Meriwether, and Robinson
of Macon opposed, and Messrs Sewafd
and McDouga and supported the Bill. Mr,
Tift thought the Bill unnecessary, said
the business could be done if the'Judges
would dischargo their duty. They*
would do better when they were made
responsible immediately to |the people.
Judge Meriwether descended from tho
Chair, and opposed the Bill in an able
argument. Mr. McDougald spoke for a
long time, and, if’grimaces and gestures
are any recommendation to a speech,hiff
was cerainiy good. The question wus
taken on the Bill, and it was lost by a
vote of years 15, nays 97.
Tho House then took up the Bill to’
form the O'chlockonee Judicial District,-
Mi- KTcDougald moved to strike out scF
much as related to the Macon Circuit.
Pending the discussion of this motion,
the House aijourned until 3 o’clock this
afternoon, Yours, &c. D.
San Francisco, Oet. 13.
Our news from the. South is of the utmost
importance this morning. A unity of action
is at last noticeable among the Southern coun
ties in reference to the holding of tho State-
Division Convention. Santa Barbara is the
place selected as most easy of access to all,
and the 2)th instant as the earliest time when
the Convention can meet. San Diego, Los
Angelos, San Louis Obispo, Santa Barbara,
Monterey, and Santa Cruz, have by this time
selected their delegates.
While the Capital was at Vallejos, Santa
Clara county was strongly in favor of the
new movement. This included all the coast
counties from San Francisco county down to
the Peninsular. But the removal o'fthe Cap:
ital back to San Jose, has effectually quieted
the citizens of that lovely valley, and we
hear of no action wliatevcr’having'bcen take*
as yet by them towards a representafon in
the Convention. Meanwhile they are pish
ing the enterprise of a railroad between San
Francisco and themselves.
The inhabitants of Stockton are to hold n
meeting to select Hcprescnfatives from Snn
Joaquin: but we doubt if the great Southern
Mining Valley will take much interc>-t in the
affair. An Address is lo be prepared by tho
Convention for circulation, and a petition fcr
division is to bo written for presentation to
our Legislature at an early din-.
Such is the majority which the Democratic
party hold in that body, that we look for di
visions among them, and doubtless tho
Southern party, holding the balance of pow
er, will be put off from time to time, in order
to be used for the purpose of securing the
passage of other measures. ‘J he sncoessful
candidate for Senator will d< nbtlewi have
had to pledge himself to use lfs influence in
Congress in favor of a division to secure his
election.— [Gregory's Erjrcss News letter.
