Ttie Corner Stone.
We observe from the last number of this pa
per that Mr. James W. Gaukliiig has become
1 **OC iatcd with (Jen. Betliune in its proprie
torship and editorial management. Mr. (J.
has had much experience in newspaper pub
lishing and editing heretofore, and the improv
ed appearance of the number of the Corner
Stone now before us attests his ability and
taste. Gen. Hethune has felt the want of such
an associate, ami we doubt not that under their
joint management the paper will maintain its
pirite-l character, increase itscircnlation, and
prove an interesting and popular sheet. It
will remain independent in party polities, and
warmly devoted to the interests of tin l South.
Our National Defences.
The telegraph reports two movements at
Washington contemplating increased efficiency
in our means of defence and facilities for car
rying on war. These are the hill reported in
the Senate for the construction of ten steam
idoopa-of-war, ami the President’s application
for three millions of dollars for onus anil am
munition. With the largest mercantile ma
rine in tlie world, we rank far behind several
European nations as a naval power, and in com
parison with Great llritain and France our
navy appears to be insiguiticant and powerless.
The construction of sir steam frigates, in pur
suance of an appropriation made by the last
Congress, has materially improved the strength
of our little naval squad, and it is quite pro
bable that a trial in conflict with au enemy
would demonstrate these six frigates are real
ly more valuable and effic ent than all the rest
of our vessels of war. Still it is manifest that
the Government lags far behind individual en
tei’prise—that, the national marine for the
protection of our gigantic commercial navy is
wholly inadequate. Congress, therefore, can
not better appropriate the surplus in the
Treasury than by applying it to the construc
tion of vessels of war. The sneers of the Brit
ish press, at this juncture, at our limited naval
power are strong evidence that an efficient
and respectable fleet of war would constitute
our best safeguard from insult and aggression.
While all the English press are exulting over
our weakness in this respect, oue journal, at
least, goes so far as to gloat over the prospect
of the spoliation *Df our rich merchantmen
wbioh would follow a declaration of war against
u* -intimating that Great Britain would soon
indemnity herself for the heavy expenses of
the war with Russia by reprisals upon our un
protected commerce! These manifestations
serve to exhibit our weak points in a still
stronger light, and constitute a cogent argu
ment in fuvor of prompt and liberal action by
Congress upon this subject. A few millions
appropriated now may prevent the loss of
twenty times the amount in a short time.
The New York Commercial Advertiser has
been told by a passenger by the steamship
•Vsia, that he saw Air. Buchanan just before
the sailing of the steamship, and that Mr. B.
informed him that all points of difficulty be
tween (he United .States and Great Itrituin
were in a fair way to adjustment and would
be settled in a few days. We give the report
as we find it in the papers, with the simple j
remark, that after the wide difference of views
and pretensions between the two nations, as
disclosed by Lord Clarendon’s speech and ‘
other revelations, diplomacy must have been
operating with much more than its usual dis
patch and directness to bring about a peace
ful and satisfactory solution so soou.
The Broils in Mexico.
A-lvices from Vera Crux to the 22d instant j
have been received at New Orleans. On the
12th instant the Castle of San Juan d’UUoa
declared for Tamarez, and from that date un
til the -Oth there was fighting between the j
troops in the city of Vera Cm i and those of
the fortress : on the 20th the Castle surren- I
dered to the city, and the government regain
ed possession of it. Taiuarez was still at Pu
ebla, and no engagement between his forces
mid those of the government has yet been re
ported. Mexico, in all its parts, is in its usual
distracted and turbulent condition, and no in
dication of the establishment of order and sta* j
bility is yet apparent.
l'he Naturalization Bill before Congress.
It was reported several days since, by telc
. ruph, that Mr. Adams, of Massachusetts, had
introduced in the House a hill to amend the
naturalization laws. The bill provides that ,
no foreigner by birth -hull make application to (
become a citizen of the United States until he i
tm.s been a resident for twenty-one continuous
years; and it prohibits, under a penalty of j
?if>oo, any vessel to bring to the United States
any person of foreign birth, unless he has s
eertifloate from a United States consul show- :
i
mg that he is oi good character, has never
been convicted of a criminal offence, and is
not a pauper. The bill may possibly pass the
House, but it stands no chance of success in
the Senate.
The Old Whig Party.
The New York Tribune states that there was ‘
recently a meeting in Washington City ot poli
ticians who still adhere to the old Whig name
and organization, to consult upon the course
best to pursue. About twenty gentlemen were
present, representing ucarly every section of
the Union. The resolved not to make any
movement towards another National organiza
tion. We observe, however, that several
States have appointed delegates to a Whig
National Convention to be held at Louisville,
Ky. The Alabama Journal, that has hereto
fore adhered to the old Whig party, expresses ‘
an intention to support Mr. Fillmore, and
thinks that the Louisville Convention will ,
nominate hint. j

Tuesday, Feb. 25.
•Senate. —The .Senate took up Ibis morning
the Bill incorporating the Hiwassee Railroad
Company. Hr. Screven headed the forces in
opposition to the bill, and lead off with a vigor
ous assault upon tin’ policy, the detrimental
effect upon the commerce of Georgia, and the
inconsidcniteness ami bad judgment that would
oppose sectional, local interests to the inter
ests of the whole State. He proved that by
this road an immense amount of produce
■would be carried into t'arolina, ami the freight
would thus be a dead loss to the Railroads in
Georgia. < fur State had great national advan-
tages which were a source of large revenue to
the State, and by this little road, these favor
able advantages were entirely given up, and
•South ('a roli ha made the recipient of a large
amount of trade which tilled her cullers with
wealth, lie denounced tire Bill as a “ mon
strous proposition,’ by Which this General
Assembly is called upon to legislate for an
other .State tit direct opposition and antagonism i
to our own interests, lie protested in the most |
earnest manner against it- passage.
Mr. Uiilhomt of Fulton, and Air. McMillan
of Habersham, opposed Ur. Screven, and the
substance of their arguuieuts was that it was
wrong to refuse any section the l ight to dcvel
ope its resources, even though the whole state
was to be injured by it. .Such discrimination
was unjust, and should never be countenanced
, by Legislation. l)r. Landrum, of Oglethorpe,
Mr. Patterson, of Gilmer, supported Ur.
S Screven. The bill finally passed.

Bishop Pierce-
We find in the New York Commercial Ad
vertiser, the following notice of the sermon
preached a few days ago by this eminent di
vine at Newark, New Jersey.
At 3 o’clock there was a second service, and
the Rev. Bishop Pierce, of Georgia, preached.
It was a sermon which those present will not
soon forget. Ilis subject was. “Faith, hope,
charity, and well and eloquently did the re
verend gentleman illustrate and enforce bis
several topics. Immediately after the eloquent
divine had concluded, a collection and sub
scriptions were taken up. which added about
5*2,000 to the amount received in the morning.
The building was crowded to its inmost ca
pacity. Every spot both above and below. ,
wherever standing room could be obtained,
was occupied: but although the crowd was
great, and many wore inconveniently pressed,
the most unbroken attention prevailed through
out. One pleasing feature of the afternoon
exercise was that ten persons subscribed each
SHMY, to constitute Bishop pierce a “life mem
ber of the church.”
The Loudon Atlioummi him a paragraph ex
plaining the true state of the ease with refer
ence to the reported retirement of the Hon.
Miss Murray front the court. U appears, ac
cording to this statement, that Miss Murray,
having visited America, formed new opinions
on the anti-slavery question. “This change
ot view Miss Murray communicated to the
Queen, who replied to her lady in waiting, if
we are rightly informed by some very wise
and very womanly counsels. Unhappily, the
royal letter missed its object; and before Miss
Murray had the advantage of reading her
august friend's advice, she had pledged her
self not to observe that discreet silence on a
most intricate and vexed problem which is ne-
cessary in persons holding public stations.—
Miss ‘Murray has the eourago of her opinions ;
but as she chose to take part, in a discussion
that every day threatens to rend the Union,
her retirement from the Queen's household
followed naturally. These are the simple
facts. There was no intention to dedicate the
book to her Majesty. Her Majesty never saw
the proot sheets. \Ye cannot suppose the
Queen meant to rebuke Miss Murray, as the
paragraph makes her, for forming an honest
opinion. Miss Murray’s retirement from the
court must he assigned to a political— not a
personal—motive. \\> see nothing in it save
what is creditable alike to (wereimi and sub

From South Florida.
Tim Tampa Peninsular, of tlie ‘Jth nisi.,
-avs tlie following information from fort .My
ers is from au official source, and embraces nL
tlie news from that quarter up to tlie 3d inst.
It will be seen by the report that the bodies of
three of the missing men of the wood party,
attacked by Indians near Fort Deynaud. had
been found, is confirmed.
Three of the bodies of the unfortunate party
who were attacked hear Fort Deynttud on the
18th ult, have been found— Corporal Love and
privates .■'lavin and Funning, °l company L.
Nothing ivus seen of Busby anil McKinnon, the
other missing men. They were probably tak
en farther and killed at some more remote
place. Corporal Love evidently made, a stout
resistance, ns bis clothes were in rags and the
place bore signs of conflict, I lie privates did
not fall without a struggle. The bodies were
found in different places in the bushes in the
vicinity’ of the first attack.
Lieut. Molimird, with company 1, returned
to Fort Cciiire, from an expedition to Lake
(tkec clio-bce, on the 25th January, lie re
ports having had a very boisterous passage
around the Lake. Faw no Indians nr signs of
their having been there.
Fort Mcßae remain uninjured.
Lieut. Alolinard, with fifty men of company
1. i> garrisoned at Fort Centre.
Lieut. Gray, with a detachment, intended to
occupy Fort Thompson, is at fort Uey’naud—
the country in the vicinity id Fort Thompson,
being under water, its occupancy, at this time,
is impossible.
Sergeant Smith, who commanded the detach-
ment at Fort Centre in the absence of Lieut.
Molimird, was at Fort Myers onthe 3d. He
reported to Col. Brown that no Indians or signs
were, seen near the former post, and that the
whole country was under water. Smith left
Fort Centre on the Ist.
Brevet .Major Arnold's command is much
prostrated by sickness and loug continued and
severe service, and the troops at Fort Myers
are in the same discouraging state.
An express rider fi m Fort Deynaud to Fort
Centre was fired on, and on his return saw two
Indians.
Fort Simon Drum, one of the Furls burned
by the Indians, is to be rebuit and garrisoned,
for the purpose of establishing a depot there
to supply troops to operate in the Big Cypress.
The work is necessarily retarded in conse
quence of the country being inundated.
The surveying companies, for tlie safety of
whom some solicitude has been felt, have all
come ill safe.
The Peninsular also has the following para
graphs :
Wo understand that Lt. Kendrick, of Capt.
Durance’s company, with about twenty men.
is now out on a scout.
The body of Solomon li. Snow, an old gen
tleman, formerly favorably known in this com
munity, was found, on Saturday last, about
twelve miles from this place, on tlie Old Tam
pa road, with the upper part of the head blown
off'. The news was brought to this place on
Sunday, and a party of citizens, who were
summoned as jurors, immediately started for
the place designated. They found the body
stretched on abed, which lie had prepared be
fore committing tlie fatal act; a double-bar
reled gun, one barrel discharged, anil the muz
zle close to his head. The verdict of the jury
was, “ came to his death by his own hands,”
&c.
Tlie same paper publishes reports of two
scouting parties from Fort Meade. Neither
party came across any Indians.
The Iron Discovery in Liberia.
Dr. Haynes, the assayer to the State of
Massachusetts, has examined specimens of
the iron recently discovered in Liberia, and
subjected them to scientific analysis with the
following result: —Its chemical composition is
pure iron, 98 40; quartz grains, magnetic
oxide iron crystals, and zoolite, 1 00. There
are no other metals present—a fact which pre
vents the placing of this iron in the class of’
meteorolites, and the absence of carbon in any
form completely removes all doubt in regard
to its being possibly of artificial formation.

Affairs in Paris.
The correspondent of the London Times in
Constantinople, writing on Jan. 21st, says:-
The news from Persia relates almost ex
clusively to the Herat affair. The official
gazette of Teheran, lyliicji has been for some
time past busy with Herat, ha.- in i!a last num
ber tlie report, that Dost Mohnincd Khan was
inarching with an army tin Herat, in order to
expel the Persians from there. According to
the Teheran Gazette, be was already one day’s

Au Immense Fisli Story.
The National Intelligencer publishes, under
the head of “Patent (Mtice,—Natural Histor y
-Agriculture—Fishes,” the following story*:
“Connected with the subject (soiiiewhat re
motely it may he) is the experience of Mr. I!.
L. l’ell, of Pelham farm, near Saugcrtics, New
York, a gentleman well known ns an extensive
orehardist, and who lias sold us the product of
liis orchards in one year S0G,()00 worth oi'ap
ples and cider, some of the former being re
tailed in London at a shilling each. Having
prepared a suitable harness, Mr. Pell obtained
from the Hudson a living sturgeon, some seven
feet long, which he harnessed and put in a
pond on his farm, attaching a line and cork
float to the traces. Whenever lie desired to
sail about the pond, which was about the
fourth of a mile ineireumfercnco, he would go
out in a boat, usually containing two persons,
and attach the cord to it, when the sturgeon
would invariably dart oil at its utmost speed
and make several circles around the pond,
keeping near the shore all the way. It would
then suddenly stop, rise to the surface of the
venter, and turn upon its back, thus indicating
its exhausted .condition. Having seen and
conversed with uu intelligent and entirely re
liable gentleman who has accompanied Mr.
Pell upon some of these excursions, we can
assure the reader that we have no doubt of the
practicability and safety of this mode of navi
gation. especially in shallow waters.’”

Tlie Way John Bull Talks.
; The London Times says :“ We expect to
hear every day that our minister at Washing
ton lias received his passport and is on the way
: home. This, of course, compels similar pro-
I cecdings on our part regarding the American
minister hero. The two ministers will proba
bly pass each other on the Atlantic.
“ After deploring the existence of a domes
tic quarrel, England has really apologised
enough to satisfy the European empires, and
cannot be held responsible for this estrange
| meat. Americans must reckon on an obsti
nate resistance, if they drive us to it. Let
| them count the cost before taking tlie fatal
i step, as after two or three paces they willcal
j eulate in vain.*’
The London Dispatch says that a good deal
I of pardonable irritation is felt here, that the
sympathies of a republican people should have
been so unaccountably manifested during the
present war in behalf of that great mainstay
and sheet anchor of European despotism; and
if tlie people of the United .States permit their
rulers to plunge them into a war with Britain,
they will receive the most terrible castigation
ever administered to national envy andqnav
| relsonicncss.’’
The Philosophy of a Prog.
! We saw yesterday on Bollingbrook street a
lump of solid transparent ice, about ten inch
es thick and wide, in the heart of which was a
| large frog nicely frozen up and looking quite
pleasant with a beaming eye. The ice was
found on the marsh behind tlie gas works, and
when melted down, the frog very good humor
cdly shook himself, and jumped about quite
lively. We heard a railroad operative de
scribing the philosophy of the tiling toa friend
of liis, as follows :
