Baptist Slate Convontion. she liaptist Stale Convention of Georgia commenced its annual session at Savannah on l riday last. A large number of ministers and delegates lmd arrived on Thursday evening, and an interesting session was anticipated. - —- The reported challenge of .Senator Douglas by l.ane, of Kansas, turns out to he, like the official pretensions of Lane, “bogus.” The Sentinel says that Lane and his friends only got up the talk about it in order to secure the interference of the police and have the possi bility of sindi a meeting prevented. Lane did not send a challenge, and had no serious idea of doing so. At the battle of Buena Y'ista he was the leader of the famous running regiment of Indiana, and, no doubt, like the crippled captain in some other noted engagement, “asbo was a little lame, he started first.” It is said that Mr. Hunt, of Louisiana, tried to persuade him out. to the “field of honor” a year or two ago, hut. without success. lie has furnished an occasion for a good deal of “crowing” by his abolition friends over his pretended chal lenge of Douglas, but the exposure of the trick will convince them that they mustbringinto the rihg some other cock that will fight. Why not try lleecher, with his rifle ? or Lucy Stone, with a broomstick ? or old Mrs. Stowe, with her knitting-needle ? ♦ The French Government seems determined i hat the peace just concluded shall he popular. The French press dares not express its dissat isfaction, and tlie British papers that oppose ami ridicule the adjustment are seized and re tained at the French post oftices. The Lon don Daily News, Morning Advertiser and Sun have been proscribed in this way. The latter paper had a black border around its pages, as a token of mourning on account of the pence. Some ol the Mobile and Montgomery papers tLink. that the wreck of the Aberdeen, upon which the Cuba struck, must have shifted its place in the channel of the river, and that therefore the officers of the Cuba could not well have avoided running upon it. This question ought to be thoroughly investigated, tor the case of the Cuba is peculiarly one which calls for legal cognizance, and the safety ot passengers on .Southern rivers requires an example or two to he made of negligent or un skillful steamboat officers. ‘The News from Nicaragua. We have at length some definite account of Hoblessiuger’s defeat, which we copy in another column. It will be seen that the cause of the disaster was precisely what we thought it would turn out. to be—the inca pacity of a foreign officer to lead American volunteers. In fact, the accounts show that .Schlessinger was not only incapable, but cow ardly ; that he relied almost entirely upon his two European companies, which ran at the first approach of the enemy, leaving the Lou isiana and New York companies to make a brave but unsuccessful effort to maintain the position. Had neither Schlessinger nor his European troops been in tlio action, the Americans would have stood a better chance to repel the enemy, strong as they were in numbers; for the flying commander and bis “ favorite” companies only confused and dis tracted those who made a stand The Costa Kioaus numbered about 1,000 men, and were armed with Minnie rifles. ‘fhe Charles Morgan landed about 200 men tor Walker, and remained at San Juan only one day. The Orizaba, from New York, had arrived out safely with about 000 volunteers for Walker. ♦ Capt. Callahan, tho well-known Texas Hanger and Indian lighter, was killed at Pitts burg, Texas, a short time since, by a man named Win. Blassengnme. Callahan, Win, S. fohuson and F., C. Hinds called on Blassen- V.ame to see him in relation to something lie had said about Callahan. Blasseiigaiue seeing them coming, and supposing that they intend ed to attack him, went out with his rifle to meet them, killed both Callahan and Johnson, and severely wounded Hinds. ■ The Wheeling Bridge case, which has just i een decided in favor of the Bridge Company by the Supreme Court of the Uuited States, was commenced by tho State of Pennsylvania which attained an injunction from a court be low against the company, on the ground that the bridge (to pass under which steamboats had to lower their chimneys) was an impedi ment to commerce and established a “prefer i nee to a regulation of the commerco of a port ot one State over those of another,” which the constitution of the United States forbids. Tho Supremo Court has decided that the bridge is not such an obstruction as the constitution contemplates, and therefore decrees a dissolu tion of the injunction. Hon. James Buchanan arrived at Now York on the 23d inst., in the Arago, from Europe. He was, in accordance with a resolution of the ity Council, received as the guest of the city of New York, and was to have given a public reception on the 24th. He declined a public dinner tendered to him. It is stated in a telegraphic dispatch toßome of ur eastern exchanges, that Mr. Labotte, i the late City Attorney of New Orleans, has been ascertained to beadefaulter to the amount of $300,000 ; but wehave received no coufirni- ‘ ation of the dispatch directly from New Or leans.

In tin New Orleans Picayune of the 23d inst., we I’m I tlie account of the defeat of Bull lea se tiger which vve copy below, it was commu nicated In that paper by a correspondent in Ni caragua, and forwarded by the Charles .Mor gan, which arrived at New Orleans ou .lic22d: Bchlessonger, at the head ot about OUU men marched into Costa llieu, with the intention of attacking Guanacaste, u town ol six or eight thousand inhabitants, about sixty miles Irurn Lake Nicaragua. On the morning of tho 2Uth ult., lie arrived within eight miles of tho tow n and encamped on a slight eminence, with open ground and dense thickest.-; behind and on each side of him. lie threw out a picket guard iu front, hut left his flanks and rear entirely un protected. About 3 o’clock that afternoon, while the men wero busied iu getting water, sleeping, &c., witli their arms stacked, the camp was suddenly attacked by about bOU Costa Ricans, who approached on botli flanks and met in front. Hcbleesenger, it is said, wnsasleep, but as soon us tho alarm was given, the captains formed their companies as soon as possible, and presented an imposing front to thcenemy. The command consisted of one French and one German company, a New Orleans company, under Capt. Thorpe, a New York company un der Capt. Creighton, and Capt. A. F. KttUler’s company of Voltigcurs. Tho three hitter com panies exchanged shots with the enemy, and looked round for their commander, to receive his orders. What must have been their sur prise and horror to perceive him in full re treat, running on foot, and followed by the German and French companies. In vain did the Major, a gallant young fellow named O’Neil, endeavor to intercept the cowardly command er and rally the fugitives. The panic soon communicated to the others, who probably saw the t utility of their continuing the combat against such a superior force, and they also broke and ran, the whole command being thus scatttercd and at the mercy of the pursuing foe. The loss of the Nicaraguans is notyet known, but when my informant left Virgin Bay the men were straggling in by twos and threes, and ninety were still missing. Schlessenger had been arrested, and was being tried by court martial at last accounts, on two charges, of treason and cowardice. The first charge is based upon the supposition that when lie was sent into Costa Rica, some months since, as En voy from Nicaragua, he concerted measures with the Costa Rican Government to betray the Nicaraguans. This charge will pvobably not be sustained, but that of cowardice un doubtedly will be, and none who knows Walk er’s firmness and determination doubt that he will be shot. On Wednesday last the 9th inst., a party of Walker’s men, 17 in number, attacked a large party of Costa Ricans at a place on the San Juan river called Serapiqui, andalthough sev en of them ran away on the first fire, the other ten remained and achieved a complete victory. This has raised the spirits of the Walker party, and it is still thought by them that he will ral ly his forces and come out right side up. He evidently possesses a hold upon his followers that is not to be shaken by ordinary circum stances. The last intelligence we have from Walker is, that he was at the head of about 700 men, and was at or near Virgin Bay, with the in tention ot meeting the Costa Ricans, who were reported to bo on the march into Nicaragua. From Washington. Washington, April 22, 185 G. The last steamer brought dispatches ad dressed by the Spanish Minister of Foreign Relations to our Minister at Madrid, in reply to the demands made at different times for re dress in the matter of firing into and detain ing the steamer El Dorado by the Spanish man-of-war Ferrolano. The Spanish Government most decidedly but courteously refuses to comply with tho wishes of our Government, and the Minister argues that, according to the law of nations, the Commander of the Ferrolano did nothing more than the peculiar circumstances at. that time in the neighborhood of Havana justified. Mr. Crampton. The National Intelligencer says: “So far as regards the feelings ilnd purposes of the Executive, Crampton will be immediately dismissed in case he is not recalled ; and that the final answer of the British Government will not lie waited for much longer, neither.” - - ♦ The “Southern Matron,” President of the Ladies Association of Virginia to purchase tho .Mount \ ernon estate, publishes a coinmu cation in the Philadelphia Inquirer which ex plains the whole matter satisfactorily, and from which wo learn that the association, on their first application to Mr. Washington, re ceived from him an answer to the effect that ho was unwilling to sell Mount Vernon to any other purchaser than the State of Virginia or the General Government. The Southern Matrou says: “The appeal to purchase from Mr. Wash ington lias been responded to in a manner which, while there is no departure from Mr. Y\ ashington’s expressed condition—viz: con veying tlie property ‘in trust’ deed to the State—yet gives the association all a State constitution permits, with this restriction: our appeal spoke only of a trust deed arrange ment for tho property. The assembly au thorized Governor Johnson to contract with Mr. Washington for Mount Vernon in tho manner in which Mr. W. had consented to dispose of it—that is, a trust deed to the Stato. The additional act of chartering the Mount Vernon Association does not make the latter a party to any transaction in which Mr. W. is to bo concerned—it is purely one between the State of Virginia and tlie asso ciation. •+.- Curiosity Punished. A policeman in Buffalo left a pair of hand cuffs iu a store, and went away out of town. Tho same day a porter in the store thought he would try them on. The handcuffs are so constructed that they lock by means of a spring and cannot be opened except by a pe culiar shaped key, which is made to fit each pair. The man’s wrists were soon inserted, but they were not so easily removed. He rushed lrautically to the police office, and then in turn to all the policemen, but none could unlock the cutis. lie wore tho orna ments from Saturday till Monday, when lie was released. A I rcnchmnn has made a proposition to tlie Imperial Government to run a line of steamers from L Orient to Norfolk, Va., with tlie motive power of electricity, which shall make the passage in forty-eight hours. + . De Quincy somewhere tells an anecdote of a man, who, ou being threatened with au assault! by eighteen tailors, cried out: “eonie on, both I of you !” I INTERESTING POLITICAL NEWS. By tlie Steamship Arabia. The proceedings of tlie Peace Congress cou tinued. It is said that Austria gives trouble by persistently refusing to fix the time for evacuating the Principalities, notwithstanding she is bound by the treaty to quit the Ottoman territory on the conclusion of peace. Her pretext is th • necessity of protecting tlie country against disorder until a regular ad ministration is established. Russia strongly adheres to Austria’s position. Later intelli gence, however, states that the Austrian troops were leaving the Principalities. The French army is to be reduced from 000,009 to 400,000 men. Advices from St. Petersburg state that tlie law prohibiting the export of produce had been repealed. A proclamation by the Czar states that tho Russian fleets iu the Black Sea and Sea of Azov will not be reinstated. Many grain vessels at Odessa had secured orders to proceed to Marseilles, which had caused a considerable fall in the Marseilles market. The English Cabinet had rejected tlie propo sition in relation to the Sound Dues on the terms proposed, but would itself make a proposition. A dispatch from Paris states that the Allies bad ordered the blockade to be raised at all the neutral ports. The French Government denies that an ex pedition to Madagascar is in contemplation. The Spanish Government has refused to give any redress for the firing- into the steamship El Dorado. The Pi iris correspondent of the London Post says that the Telegraph has been constantly employed on the Italian question between Na ples, Vienna and Paris, the proposition of the Sardinian Minister, Count Oavour, having been referred to those Courts that France and England should make the final decision. A commission ol’ Austrian and Russian officers tor the rectification of the Moldavian frontiers were in Paris waiting orders. The very latest advices state that Austria had agreed to evacuate the Principalities. Turkey shows great anxiety to bo relieved Irom tlie presence of the Allies. It is said that Napoleon will visit Algeria. Tlie question in relation to the Sound Dues makes no progress, and probably it will not ,be proceeded with until it be known what ac tion the United States will take in the matter. The energies of the Russian Government are said now to be devoted to an alliance with France, the completion of the great rail roads in that country', and the diffusion ol’ a Russian feeling throughout tlie Continent of Europe, especially Germany. Curious Invention. Yesterday General Houston called the case of Edward D. Tippet, of Washington, and asked that it be referred, in connexion with the petition which he then presented, to the Committee on Patents. The petition related to the “navigating balloon” which was in vented by Mr. TANARUS., and for which he now asks an appropiation to enable him to perfect and apply his invention in a practical manner. The idea of aerial navigation has always seemed so chimerical, that any attempt to bring it about has been viewed as speculative This petition of Mr. Tippet, however, excited our attention, and we determined to see what he was doing, and accordingly called at his workshop on Capitol llill. Here we saw the model of his “navigating balloon,” an ac count of which we give as near as possible. The working model of the balloon which we saw is in the form of a sphere—is made of prepared silk, constructed upon two very thin sheet copper cylinders, one of which is called the “inflator,” and the other the “compressor.” When the balloon is inflated by tho passage of the gas through the “inflator,” and it has ascended to any given altitude, and the voy ager wishes to descend, he drives the gas into the “compressor” by an air pump, thus de priving the balloon of its buoyancy and cau sing it to collapse and descend. When he wish es to rise again lie discharges the gas back from the “compressor” into tlie balloon proper, when it again rises. He meets the objection that the gas when compressed will evaporate, by saying that he can carry anew machine for the manufacture of gas with him. The process of navigating the balloon, is carried on by two propellers revolving in op posite directions, which propellers are placed on their axes at an angle of ninety degrees. By their action on the atmosphere, these pro pellers give the balloon a steady position, and by causing a vacuum in front of the balloon, form a powerful current of air in the rear, which drives the balloon in thisvaenum. The propellers ever in advance of the balloon, as they are fixed iu its front, keep forming that vacuum as long as they continue in motion,and tlie balloon by this means, is continually and rapidly advancing. The direction of the bal loon is guided by a rudder reaching far be hind, operating on the same principle as does the rudder of a ship. The theory of wind and air currents shows that above a given altitude these currents are not to be found, and that consequently there is nothing to interfere with serial navigation at that height. Advantage can be taken of these currents when their direction coincides with tlie way the traveler wishes to go. We give this account of the nature and de sign ot the balloon for the information of our readers, that they may know what is going on in our midst. While wo would not wish to be understood as endorsing this new thing as practicable, we may safely say that it does seem to us that some advantage can he de rived from it, and that it may be worth expe rimenting upon. During the Mexican war, this machine, we are told, was thoroughly examined by the Secretary of War and a special Congressional committee, who reported in favor of building a monster balloon, to operate against tho Cas tle ot San Juan de Ulloa, by hovering over and dropping combustibles into it. The cap ture of the castle put a stop to its further consideration. Mr. Tippett, tho inventor, is well known as an indefatigable investigator iu speculative mechanics, and his ideas of finding the princi ples of perpetual motion have rendered every thing he undertakes suspicious ou that score. In this case, however, we are glad that the subject is before Congress, for if there is any advantage to be derived from the invention, it will now be found.— Washington Organ. A Sailor’s Idea of the Efleot of Prayer. At them ament when, on the 14th of Octo ber, 1797, the British fleet under Admiral Dun can, and tlie Dutch fleet commanded by De \\ inter, were about to engage, two sailors, passing by Admiral Duncan’s cabin, saw him on his knees. “My eyes, Jack,” exclaimed one, “ what is tho Admiral about there ?” “ Praying to Heaven,” replied the other. “ Praying for what?” “ That the Lord give us victory.” “ Well, now, that's a blasted shame. We are well able to lick them otir- give the beggars a chance. ” Indian Com as Food. Considering (lie fact that maize was the great article of substinence among the North American Indians at the discovery of this con tinent, and that it is capable of as many ded icate preparations as any other cereal grain, it is strange that its introduction into Europe has been so tardy and difficult. The Tobacco and the Potato, spread, by general consent, all over Christendom. Th® more nutritious, wholesome and blessed Corn of the ludiaus, has been left to work its way laboriously to the position it deserves among the precious gifts of nature. The nations of Europe are only beginning to appreciate the value of In dian Corn as an article of substinence, but they are beginning. . Now, our climate is peculiarly that of the corn. It lias its native seat in or near our latitude. It attains its greatest perfection of flavor in this region. It is with us, a great article of food. We are likely, therefore, more than any other people, to be benefitted by the dissemination of a taste for tlie many palata ble preparations of which it is capable. Eu rope will doubtless make many valuable im provements on our rude cookery, and may perhaps succed in proving that Indian Corn is as much superior in the refinements of epi curism, as is undoubtedly’ in tlie wholesome ness of ordinary diet, to the cereal grains of Asia. But we leave this matter to the mercy of the Hygienists. The fact is apparent, that Corn is becoming a great article of food to Europe; and it is equally certain that the Southern States can supply this demand more surely and more cheaply than any other part of the world. Corn grew originally in the Southern States. It is their heritage by nature, and tlie earth and the air here form its natural home. It conies to its greatest perfection here, as to sweetness of taste and power of nutrition. Hence the Southern people have anew and genial field before them. They have already assumed and nobly fulfilled the office, to clothe the world. A still more interesting one will be, to feed the world; and that seems ready to descend upon us. Let us bear our honors meekly, but, at the same time, let us not spurn our opportunities and trifle with our fortunes. —Charleston Mercury. Fit for a Lawyer. An old lady walked into a lawyer's office lately, when the following conversation took place: Lady—’Squire, I called to see if you’d like to take this boy and make a lawyer of him. Lawyer—The boy appears rather young, madam. How old is ho ? Lady—Seven years, sir. Lawyer—He is too young—decidedly too young. Have you no older boys ‘! Lady—Oh, yes, sir, we have several; butwo have concluded to make farmers of the others. I told my old man I thought this little feller would make a first rate lawyer, and so I called to see if you would take him. Lawyer—No, madam, he is too youngyet to commence the study of the profession. But why do you think this boy so much better cal culated for a lawyer than your other sons ? Lady—Why, you see, sir, he is just seven years old to-day ; when he was only five, he’d lie like all nature ; when be got to be six, he was sassy and impudent as any critter could be ; and now he’ll steal every thing he can lay his hands on. Complaints. Neal, the author of the Charcoal Sketches, thus admirably takes off that class of peopfo who are never so happy as when they are making themselves miserable: “How are you, Trepid ? How do you feel to-day, Mr. Trepid ?” “A great deal worse than I was, thankee; most dead, I’m obliged to you; I’m always worse than I was, and I don’t think I was ever any better. I’m very sure, anyhow, I’m not going to be any better; and for the future you may always know I’m worse, without asking any questions, for the ques tions make me worse, if nothing else does.” “Why. Trepid, what is the matter with you?” “Nothing, I tell you, in particular, but a great deal is the matter with me in general and that’s the danger, because we don’t know what it is. That s what kills people, when they can’t tell what it is, that’s what’s killing me. My greatgrandfather died of it, and so will I. The doctors don’t know; they can’t tell; they say I’m well enough when I’m had enough, and so there’s no help. I’m going off some of these days right after my grand father, dying of nothing particular but of every thing in general. That’s wlmt finishes our folks. *’ Where are you Going P” An anecdote is told of Finney, “the revival ist, ’ and a canaler, to the following effect: He was holding forth in Rochester, and in walking along the canal one day, came across a boatman who was swearing furiously. Marching up, he confronted him, and abruptly asked— “ Sir, do you know where you are going?” The unsuspecting man innocently replied that he was going up the canal on the boat Johny Sands. “ No, sir, you are not,” continued Finney, “ you are going to hell faster than a canal boat can convey you.” The boatmen looked at liim in astonishment lor a minute, and then returned tho question: “ Sir, do you know where you are going ?” “ 1 expect to go to heaven.” “ No, sir, you are going into tho canal!” And suiting the action to the word, took Fin ney in his arms and tossed him into the ruur key waters, where he would have drowned had not the boatman relented and fished him out. Better Get ’em First. About thirty-five years ago there resided in the town of Hebron a certain Dr. TANARUS., who be came very much enamored of a beautiful young lady, resident in the same town, The Doctor was a strong and decided Presbyterian, and his lady-love was a strong and decided Bap tist. They were sitting together one evening, talking of theirjapproaching nuptials, when the Doctor remarked : “ 1 am thinking, my dear, of two events which l shall number among the happiest of my life.” “ And pray what may they be, Doctor ?” re marked the lady. “One is the hour when I shall call you ‘wife’ for the first time.” “ And tlie other.” “ It is when we shall present our first horn for baptism.” “ What ! sprinkled ?” “ Yes, my dear spriukled.” “ Never shall a child of mine lie sprinkled.” “ But mine shall.” “ They shall be, hey ?” “ Yes, my love.” “ Well, sir, then I can tell you that your babies won’t be my babies. So good uiglit sir.” The lady left the room, and the Doctor left the house. The sequel was, that the Doc tor never married, and the lady is an old maid.
