Thurad*y Morning, January 31, 1850.
LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.
The Justices’ Court yesterday morning con
cluded its examination of the charge against
John Chisolm, by requiring of him bail in the
amount of SB,OOO to appear and answer the
charge of purloining money from the Post
office.
-
We are pleased to see that Gen. James N.
ltethune, the Editor of the Comer Stone, has
so far recovered as to bo able to resume his
editorial duties. In his late severe aflliotion
the General had the sympathies of our entire
community; and the pleasantry and philoso
phic spirit with which he announces his re
sumption of the pen afford another proof of
the oxcollont qualities that entitle him to the
high regard of his fellow-mon. The Corner
Stone is independent of any party organization
—takes its cuo from no “extension” platform
or suggestions of party expodicncy—and is
therefore honost and consistent, if not popular,
in its political course. Its undeviating devo
tion to the South is unquestionable and relia
ble ; and wo trust that though tb® boOtly cir
culation of Us oditor has been restricted by bis
misfortune, that of the Corner Stone is in
creasing and may never bo seriously ampu
tated.
“The New World”
Is tbo title of a handsome volume that lias
been submitted to us for examination. It was
an advance copy in the hands of an Agent who
is now in our city soliciting subscriptions for
the work. From the hasty examination we
have bostowod upon it, we believe it will be
found an interesting publication, containing
tho loading incidents in the history of both
North and South America. It is plentifully
illustrated with portraits of the leading char
acters and skotclios of prominent scenes and
incidents in the history of the two continents,
and oontains about 1000 pages of reading. A
map, showing the latest boundaries, divisions
and surveys, accompanies the book, and adds
interest and value.
Tho American Cotton Planter.
Wo havo feccivod tho November and Decem
ber xmmbors of this handsome and valuable
Southern Agricultural Monthly. It abounds
with artiolcß of much interest to Southern plan

whom all communications should be addressed.

lion. James 11. Stark, late Judge in this
Circuit has resigned, and G. J. Green, Esq.,
of Griffin, has boon appointed by the Governor
to fill the vacancy.
Southern and Northern Colonization.
Wo learn from tlio South Carolina papers
that a company of tliroo hundred men, under
tho dirootion of 11. Posoy, has been organized
in Abbovillo District, for tho colonization of
Kansas. In this Stato and Alabama, also,
men enough can readily be found, but the
money to boar their expenses is moro difficult
to obtain. This seems very strango, when we
oousidor that most of the capital of the South
is vested iu negro property, and that the in
centive for Southern emigration to Kansas is
tho preservation and enhancement in value of
that property.
Wo notice that the abolition colonizers of
Kansas are carrying out a scheme for raising
funds which scorns to bo moro effective, what
ever may be thought of its honesty or legality.
It will be recolloctod that at one of their Con
ventions the Froosoilers of Kansas resolved to
issue scrip, redeemable by tho State when
they obtained the ascendancy and control afitu
affairs, to be used in buying up and paying
tho expenses of abolition emigrants to Kansas.
The other day, after a harangue to an Illinois
audience, an abolition emissary from Kansas
sold this scrip to tho amount of SIOOO in cash;
and no doubt great efforts will bo made all
over the North to carry out tho same unlawful
and reprehensible game. It will thus become
a matter of speculation. Capitalists of the
reckless and adventurous class will see that by
buying tho scrip at half its nominal value
they will make a “splendid” speculation, pro
vided thoy can carry the State for frecsoil.—
And capital throughout the North being thus
interested in the success of tho abolition move
ment in Kansas, who can doubt that every
effort will be made to wrest tho Territory from
the South 1 It will soon beoomo a land of
paupers, retained by Northern capitalists to
vote its“freodom” and their gain; and the
substantial Southern settler, with the capacity
and working force to make it a producing and
thriving State, will bo driven out with his
proporty by abolition laws.
This state of the case shows the necessity
for prompt and energetic Southern action. —
Let not slaveholders rely on the advantage al
ready gainod by their friends in the organiza
tion of tho Territory. That will prove no ob
stacle to Northern capital and rapacity, unless
the South sends forward emigrants promptly
and liberally. Southern capital is to be affect
ed by the result of the struggle, and it should
seek in time to protect itself. If the South
losoe this battle, she may as well surrender
every other outpost without a struggle, for
the same abolition expedients will be used in
ony future contest between tho two sections,
and the success of tho Kansas plan of opera
tions will indueo capitalists to invest moro con
fidently hereafter.

sno of our Representatives.
The Savannah Journal has a MilleJgavillo
correspondent who gives sketches of some of
the members of tbo Legislature. From bis
last letter we clip the following notice of one
of the Representatives from Muscogee:
“ Jack Jones,’’ as he is familiarly termed, is
in truth “a chip of the old block,” and if
spared, 1 think, bids fair to rival bis justly
distinguished father.
He rarely ever permits any subject of im
portance to pass that he does not “pitch in,”
and it is not often he retires from the contest
second best.
Representing a constituency many of whom
are the “elite” of Columbus, and of the State,
he seems to bear in mind very faithfully their
interests, and is ever ready to stand forth fear
lessly their champion, when attempted to bo
encroached upon, either by insidious ap
proaches or open attacks. He thinks, speaks
and acts for himself, and I know of no member
upon the lloor, who acts with more supreme
contempt for “Buncorab.”
Being blessed with a handsome competence
in life, he does not need one of the great in
centives to action, so often requisite to force a
dovelopement of mental powers, which worldly
independence, alas, too often clothes in purple
and fine linen, and then suffers to dream away
existence in inglorious ease. With him I hope
It may be otherwise—and that be will let a
noble aiwl lofty ambition to serve liis day and
generation, prompt him to a lull developement
of those talents that nature has bestowed with
no penurious or frugal hand.
Lord John Russell’s Letter.
We have already announced that this letter,
which, as Mr. Clayton had asserted, disclaimed
I on the part of Great Ilritaip any intention to
I assume jurisdiction over any part of Central
I America, was communicated to the Senate
I the other day by the President. We now have
I tho letter before us. It bears date January
I 10, 1853, and is addressed to Mr. Crumpton,
I then, as now, tho British Minister at Wash-
I ington. The chief object of the letter was to
I bring about a joint arrangement botween
I Great Britain and the United States for guar-
I anteoing Greytown as a free and independent
I port, and indemnifying Mosquito for witb-
I drawing her claim of jurisdiction over it—
I Lord John declaring that “what is apparent
I should he made to conform as far as possible
with what is real. What is apparent is that
the King of Mosquito exercises sovereignty
over Greytown ; what is real is that he had no
authority there whatever, but that a committee
of Europeans and Americans carry on the
Government at that port.”
After stating the terms and the manner of
proceeding by which he thinks this can be
effected, and declaring that Great Britain “has
no other interest in Mosquito than that which
is derived from an honorable regard for her
old connection with the Indian nation of Mos
quito,” (referring to England’s former alliance
with these savages during her wars with
Spain,) Lord John concludes with this explicit
sentence :
“The peculiarity of this case is, that certain
I neighboring States deny altogether the inde-
I pcndenco of Mosquito, and the Mosquito n-
I tion ro liable every day to new incursions
I upon their territory. We can make no com-
I plete provision against this danger. Our policy
I is to do all that honor and humanity require in
1 behalf of the Mosquito nation; but we intend
I to adhere strictly to the treaty of Washington
I of the 19th of April, 1850, and not to assume
• any sovereignty, either direct or indirect, in
I Central America.”
| As tho treaty referred to (known as the
I Clayton-Bulwer Treaty,) was negotiated du-
I ring Lord John Russell’s connection with the
I government, it is a very reasonable supposi-
I tion that lie better understood its meaning
I than Lord Clarendon, who now maintains that
I Great Britain did not, by that agreement,
I surrender any of her old claims in Central
I America, but that tho treaty was to be con-
Is trued prospectively only !
Mr. Bright on the United States.
I At public meeting of the Marsdcn Mechan
ics’ Institution, at Manchester, on the 14th
December, Mr. Bright, M. P., in the course of
a speech, deprecating the war, said:
“ Many of you have relatives or friends in
America. That young nation has a population
about equal to ours in those islands. It has
a great external commerce. It has more ton
nago in shipping than we have. It has more
rail roads than wc have. It has also a great
manufacturing interest in different branches.
That is the young giant whose shadow ever
grows, and there is the true rival of this coun
try. How do we stand or start in the race ?
The United States Government, including all
the Governments of all tho Sovereign States,
raises in taxes probably from X 12,000,000 to
,£15,000,000 sterling in the year. England
this year will raise in taxes and loans, and will
expend nearly £100,000,000. This popula
tion must raise and will spend probably £BO,-
000,000 within this year more than that popu
lation will raise and spend, and in America
tliero is far less poverty and pauperism than
in England. Can we run this race on these
terms and against these odds ? Can we hope
to be as well off’ as America if tho products of
our industry ore thus swept away by tiro tax
gatherer, and in tho vain scheme of saving
Europe from imaginary dangers ? Can poverty
be lessened among us, can education spread,
cau the brutality of so many of our population
bo uprooted, can all or anything that good
men look for come to us, while the fruits of our
industry, the foundation of all social and mor
al good are squandered in this manner? Pur
sue the phantom of military glory for ten
years and expend iu that time a sum equal to
all the visible property of Lancashire and York
shire, and then compare yourself with the
United States of America, and where will you
be ? Pauperism, crime, and political anarchy
nre tho legacies we are preparing for our chil
dren, and there is no escape for us unless we
change our course, and resolve to disconnect
ourselves from the policy which tends inces
santly to embroil us with the nations of the
continent of Europe.”
Tho Massachusetts Legislature at their lost
I session perpetrated a curious blunder in pas-
I sing an amendment to the constitution, which
I they proposed to submit to the people. The
I intention was to prohibit naturalised citizens
from voting, without a previous residence of
21 years iu tho United States. The effect of
tho proposition they adopted would, be to
prevent all persons except naturalized citizens
from voting at all. “That no person should be
entitled to vote in this Commonwealth unless
he shall havo been a resident within the juris
diction of the United States 21 years, and
legally naturalized.”
Gov. Gardner recommends them to wipe out
and begin again.
GEORGIA LEGISLATURE.
o>rrcsponlence of tin* Savannah Journal.
Monday, Jau. 28.
This morning at great peril of limb, from
the heavy sleet that presented an almost un
broken glacier in our streets, the House met
with commendable punctuality, and commenc
ed their morning session. On motion ot Irwin,
of Wilkes, it reconsidered by a voteof <il to oil,
its action of Saturday laying upon the table
for the balance of the session, tho bills provid
ing for the removal of free persons (of color)
from our State, by laying a tax upon that class
of our population, to be devoted exclusively to
that object. Messrs. Irwin, Jones, of Musco
gee, and Thornton, participated in the discus
sion of the subject. The matter lies over.
The bill proposing to establish a general sys
tem of public education in the rudiments of an En
glish education, being the special order of the
day, was taken up, and after being amended
in several particulars, was finally gone through
with, and a substitute for the same was offer
ed by Mr. Stiles —the substance of which is for
the Governor to appoint a commissioner, at a
salary of three thousand dollars, to traverso
the State, gather information, and report to
the next General Assembly.
Mr. Stiles supported hissubstitute in a well
prepared speech, which, owing to bis infirm
health, be asked and obtained permission to
read to the House.
Before he concluded the House adjourned
over, and the matter is suspended until to
morrow. The evening session was devoted to a
call of the counties; about 40 new bills were
introduced, most of them of a local character,
and of no interest to your readers.
In the Senate, a resolution was orffered by
Mr. l’ope to-day to provide for the appoint
ment of a committee of both branches, to con
sider when it is likely the General Assembly
will be able to adjourn, sine die. This move
ment contemplates the 26th of February as the
day when the business may probably be got
through with if proper devotion to the multi
tude of subjects now before tho Legislature is
shown, the adjournment can be accomplished
by that time : though this is doubtful.
A bill to form anew county, from the coun
ty of Clark, to be called “Terrell,” was de
feated to-day by a large majority.
The bill incorporating a bank in Athens to
be called the “Bank of Athens,” was finally
adopted to-day, without the amendments of
Judge Cone, which were not pressed by that
gentleman.
A bill to incorporate the LaGrauge and Ox
ford Railroad, was taken up and passed at the
urgent request of Dr. Beasley, the Senator
from Troup, who stated that the corporators
desired to commence the work at once.
The Governor’s Message onthe Vermont
Resolutions. —The Governor communicated
to both branches of the General Assembly to
day, a special message, covering certain Reso
lutions transmitted to them by the Governor of
the State of Vermont.
The message is characterized by great dig
nity and ability, and worthy the present excel
lent chief magistrate of our State. It
breathes a spirit of manly patriotism, of calm
but firm maintaiuance of our own sovereign
right, as States—and at the same time invokes
the constitutional men of all sections of the
country to unite for the purpose of preserving
if possible the integrity of the Republic. Gov
ernor Johnson in allusion to the present condi
tion of things at Washington and the prospects
of the county, uses the following language in
conclusion:
“It behooves the State of Georgia as an in
tegral portion of tho South to do whatever she
can, to arrest the tide of aggression, or failing
to do that, to place herself in the safetest atti
tude of self-preservation. It may be, and I
trust that such will be the result, that tho un
ion of the sound constitutional men of all sec
tions, of which there are gratifying indica
cations, may prove strong enough ultimately
to arrest tlie machination of fanaticism and
save us from the storm which now darkens our
political horizon. But it is vain to expect that
our assailants will voluntarily relent their pur
pose, or relax efforts for our destruction.—
They will either conquer the friends of the
constitution and the union, or they must be
conquered. Iu the latter result the rights of
the South will be maintained, but in the event
of the former, the South must take care of
herself. Such is tho awful issue which is now
presented to the country.”
He then reiterates his recommendation, con
tained in his late Biennial Message, that the
present Legislature should provide for the call
ing of a convention, to provide for the contin
gencies contemplated in the solemnly announc
ed declaration of Georgia, through her con
vention in 1850. I regret that time will not
permit me more at length to comment upon
this able State paper, which was received by
the Senate with evident marks of high appro
bation.
Col. Lawton, of Dougherty, offered a resolu
tion, requesting the Governor to return the
Vermont resolutions to the Governor of that
State, without comment; and expressed him
self as approving Gov. Johnson’s message.
Pending the consideration of this matter,
the Senate adjourned.
Congressional.
Washington, Jan. 25.—The House had
three ineffectual balloting* to-day.
Jan. 26.—Mr. George H. Dunn, of Indiana,
offered a series of resolutions in the House to
day : Ist. That no man should l>o oleotcJ
Speaker who will Hesitate to restore the Mis
souri Compromise. 2nd, That the Compromise
should be restored as a necessary and certain
means of reviving harmony, concord and union.
3d. That the factional agitation of the slavery
question, in and out of Congress, is unwise,
and unjust to every section of the country,
but until tho Compromise is restored, it is a
solemn duty to perish in our efforts to that end.
The first resolution was rejected by a vote of
103 to 102—tho second was adopted by 101 to
100—and the third rejected by a vote of 103
to 100.
Mr. Fuller offered a resolution declaring
that the agitation of the slavery question was
unwise, and unjust to a large portion of tho
American people, and injurious to every sec
tion, and ought not to be countenanced. This
resolution was adoptedby a vote of 106 to 100.
Mr. Meacham offered a resolution declaring
that the repeal of the Missouri Compromise
was an example of the useless and factious
agitation of the slavery question, and unwise
and unjust to the American people—adopted
—ayes 108, nays 93.
Tho House then adjourned.
Washington, Jan. 28. Senate.— Mr. Cass
strongly denounced the position of Great
Britain in relation to the Mosquito affair.—
Messrs. Clayton and Collamer made a few re
marks ; after which the Senate adjourned
until Tuesday morning.
llovsK.—Only one vote for Speaker to-day,
without au election. The plurality resolution
was tabled by a vote of one hundred and six
to one hundred.
It is rumored that Mr. Dallas has been ten

New Epoch iu the Treatment of Fever and
Ague.
The introduction of Rhodes’ Fever and Ague
Cure inaugurated anew era in the treatment
of intermittent and remittent fevers. It ai
reats them, in all cases, with absolute certain
ty. Free from quinine, arsenic, salicine, and
every other drug perilous to the general health
and constitution of tho patient, its swift and
thorough cures leave no sting behind, ihe
miasma of the swamps and alluvial districts
of the South and West, is harmless to the trav
eler or settler provided with this powerful an
tidote, as it is not only a remedy tor, but a
preventive of all the diseases generated by un
wholesome air. No caries of the bones, no
enlargement of tho joints, no swellings of the
glands or contractions of the muscles, follow
the use of this innoxious specific. The most
distinguished chemists indorse it, and wherever
it has been introduced, it has superseded eve
! ry otherprepnration designed for the same pur
pose.
I See what the President of the Pharmaceuti
cal Society of Missouri says of Rhodes’s Fever
and Ague Cure, or Antidote to Malaria:
St. Louis, Mo., Nov. 10, 1850.
Having noticed tho certificate ot chemical
analysis given hv the celebrated chemist, Dr.
J. R. Chilton, of New York city, in favor of
Rhodes’s Fever and Ague Cure, that it contain
ed neither Quinine, Arsenic, Mercury, nor
Strychnine, and having received numerous ap
plications for it, I was induced to send to Mr.
Rhodes for the medicine. Since then I have
disposed of a large quantity, mostly to resi
dents of this city, who have invariably been
cured by it, and to whom I can refer. I am,
therefore, satisfied in recommending it to be
all that the proprietor represents.
EDWARD S. WHEATON, President
of the Pharmaceutical Society of Missouri.
Brunswick and Florida Rail Road.
We are indebted to David W. Lewis, Esq.,
for the Report of the President and Directors
of this Board to a meeting held at Brunswick
on tho 3d of May, 1855. As this enterprise is
exciting considerable public interest just at
this time, we condense a few of the most im
portant items of the report for tho benefit of
our readers.
It seems that the expenditures up to that
time were $214,500, leaving them in posses
sion of a liberal char ter —line of Railroad clear
ed, forty feet wide, for ninety eight miles—
land damages settled for the same distance,
with the exception of one or two points—twen
ty miles of road nearly graded—five miles of
superstructure laid down —one locomotive, and
six freight cars—with surveys covering the
whole line to Thomasville, one hundred and
fif'ty-eiglit miles —with a branch to Albany,
sixty miles.
The advantages claimed by the Report for
Brunswick, may be summed up as follows :—a
magnificent harbor—easy of access—great
depth of water—secure anchorage—capability
for impregnable defences, salubrious climate,
and a location almost unequalled, for the fa
cilities with which stores and supplies may be
obtained. Holding a prominent position near
ly midway between the Chesapeake and the
southern cape of Florida—lying near the out
let of the vast commerce of the West Indies
and Gulf of Mexico—with peculiar adaptation
to the wants of the California trade, and those
new channels of Commerce, opening up with
Asia, the Islands of the Pacific, and coasts of
South America, by its connection with some
port on tlie Gulf of Mexico, by which the trou
ble, expense and delay of tho navigation round
the cape will be avoided, all point to Bruns
wick as a great maritime port prospectively.
The report further claims that Brunswick
is five hundred miles nearer the Pacific coast
than New York, and nearer the Mississippi
river than any port on the Atlantic. About
600 miles from Vicksburg, much of the trade
of the great west for Europe it is supposed
will diverge to that point when the Railroads
are finished. All this, together with the loeal
trade of Florida, Southern Georgia, &c., it is
anticipated that Brunswick w T ill be a great city,
and her Railroad pay a handsome dividend.
This all looks plausible enough on paper, and
leaves room for much hope that the enterprize
will succeed, notwithstanding some of our
wise-acres look upon Brunswick as de facto
and prospectively, a one horso town.— Central

Manufactories in Lauderdale County. Ala.
Cotton Mills.— We take great pleasure in
chronicling tho prosperity of the manufactur
ing interests in this county. Messrs. Martin,
Weakly & Cos., have already in successful ope
ration, two large Cotton Mills, which consume
about two thousand bales of cotton annually,
and have been so skilfully managed as to yield
their owners handsome profits; and such has
been their success that they have recently
bought a fine Mill site justbelow their present
mills, and are now getting out the timbers for
a now factory which will be the most capacious
building of the kind in North Alabama, suffi
cient to contain 4,000 spindles and 100 looms.
Messrs. Baugh, Kennedy & Cos., have re
solved on filling their fine and commodious
building with machinery. When this is con
summated that property will yield a good pro
fit to the enterprising owners.
Wc are informed that one of our enterpris
ing townsmen is now on a visitto the northern
manufacturing cities, to inquire into the prac
ticability of establishing a Steam Cotton Fac
tory in this place. The gentleman, we trust,
•will learn that a Steam Factory can be made
profitable, and go to work immediately, and
show that tho South can carry on all kind of
factories as well as the North.
Wool Factory. —We havo neglected hither
to, to notice the fact that Messrs. Milner, Mays
& Cos., (successrs to Milner & Kennedy,) have
erected a fine new building, and will soon have
in successful operation, their new machinery.
They have been doing a fine business, and can
not supply half the orders for their excellent
blankets and negro clothing. —Florence Ga

Sea Island Cotton.
Mr. Joel B. Smith has a lengthy communi
cation in the Ganzales Inquirer, in which he
undertakes to prove that Sea Island Cotton
can be grown more profitably than the short
staple, anywhere within 75 to 100 miles from
the coast, from the Sabine to the Rio Grande.
He makes a detailed comparison from both
crops from the time the seed is planted, till
the proceeds of the crops arc obtained in cash,
deducting all expenses, lie assumes that one
hand may plant ten acres of either Sea Island
or Upland Cotton, and that 15,000 pounds of
Upland in the seed, or 3,750 pounds of lint, is
a fair average product, which, after being sold
at 8 cents per pound, and deducting all expen
ses, leaves, as the nett proceeds, §261,75.
He next assumes that the same ten acres
would produce as a fair average crop, 9,000
pounds of Sea Island Cotton in the seed, or
2,250 pounds in lint, which after being sold at
25 cents per pound, and deducting all expen- J
ses. leaves, as the net proceeds §512,81. being
more than double the profits of the Upland
Cotton. Mr. Smith then proceeds to give a
number of instances wherein his calculations
have been fully verified by planters, who have
made a fair trial of both kinds of cotton.
