Alabama Elections.
We have returns from alt the counties in
the adjoining Judicial Circuit, except a por
tion of Talladega, and Dougherty has about
not! majority.
Wm. 8. Mudd, K. N., has, we think, been
elected Judge of the Tuakaloosa Circuit.
Wo have not sufficient returns to de
termine the result of the election in any oth

It would be extremely difficult to form any
opinion as to the vote of the State upon the
Convention question, from the returns before
us. Some counties vote almost unanimously
fora Convention, and others as strongly against
it; and the returns at hand seem to show that
some local interest in each county, or some
prejudice for or against a particular feature of
the old constitution, carries the votes in the |
several localities.
More Slavery Agitation.
The General Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church (North) met at Indianapo
lis on the Ist inst. On the first day of its
session, the subject of slavery was introduced
by a resolution to appoint a standing commit
tee on slavery. The resolution prevailed by
a large majority, after some discussion. We
may therefore expect to hear that all subjects
connected with vital piety, Christian charity
and true benevolence have been shoved aside,
or only coldly and formally treated, while the
great engrossing and exciting topic is a polit
ical crusade against Southern institutions.—
This seems to be the test of religious orthodoxy
at the North just now, and the prevailing sen
timentisthat “Zion” is unattainable to any pro
fessor who cannot exhibit upon his garments
some of the blood of Batchelder or Sheriff
Jones, or comes not through by the “under
ground railway.”
Delegates from the British Wesleyan Con
ference presented credentials and were for
mally received; but ministers from a Southern
Conference, if seeking admission, would have
been sent away into “utter darkness,” on ac
•ount of the stain of slavery.
A. J. Magrath, Esq., of Charleston, has
ieen appointed Judge of the United States
-district Court for South Carolina, to succeed
Judge Gilchrist, deceased.
Aid to Walker.
Two hundred men, well armed and eager for
the fray, sailed from New Orleans on the Bth
list., to go to the relief of Walker. A large
mi en husiastic meeting was held in the St.
Charles saloon, on Broadway, New York, on
the 6th inst., which adopted “measures to aid
the cause of Nicaraguan independence.” The
meeting adjourned to meet en masse on the 9th
inst. at National Hall, when an immense gath
ering and great enthusiasm was anticipated.
The Mobile and Ohio Railroad track is rep
resented to be under water in some sections.
The location of the track is thought by many
to be too low ; but the Mobile News says that
the Chickasaha river has risen higher than was
ever known before—some fifty or sixty feet —
and its tributaries equally high. Atthe latest
advices, trains could not run above Enter
prise.
The trial of Ex-Postmaster Kendall, of New
Orleans, on a charge of robbing the mails, was
progressing in the United States Circuit Court
in that city, on the 7th inst.
Death of Sheriff Jones.
The last advices from Kansas, telegraphed
from Chicago on the Bth inst., report the death
of Sheriff Jones. It had previously been an
nounced that he was expected to recover.
A letter to the St. Louis Republican states
that Jones, when shot, was acting by the au
thority of the Investigating Committee.—
Wood, whom he attempted to arrest, had ab
stracted important papers connected with the
Reeder case and refused to appear before the
committee.
Later from Panama.
The Sloop St. Marys on Hand !
We learn from the Charleston papers, that
the brig Amoonoosuck arrived at that port on
the Bth inst., with later and interesting news
from New Granada and the Isthmus. We
copy from the Courier of the 9tli:
‘•The U. S. sloop of-war St. Marys had reach
ed Panama, and her commander had taken
immediate steps to examine into the cause of
the late unfortunate riot. It was reported
that a warm correspondence had taken place
between the commander of the St. Marys and
the Governor of Panama, and that the latter
had thought it prudent to remove his family
from the place, and that he also was about
leaving.
“Capt. Harford states that it is thought at
Aspinwalll that the natives originated the dis
turbance for the purpose of plunder, many of
them having been thrown out of employment
by the completion of the rail road, who had
formerly received considerable amounts for
transporting passengers across the Isthmus by
canoe3 and mules, and many of which class
are now mere bush-rangers, who only await a j
suitable opportunity to plunder. This class j
can only be held in check by the fear of im
mediate punishment; and is believed that it
will be necessary for this Government to sta
tion a naval or military force at Panama, to I
ensure safety to passengers on tho route ” I
The St. Marys, as previous advices from |
Washington had informed us, was cruising off
that coast when the riot occurred. Her com- j
mander is now acting without orders from
Washington, but we trust that his proceed- I
: ogs and measures will be none the less ener- !
zetic on that account. We really have strong I
hope now that our wish expressed the other ,
day will be fulfilled —“that some energetic and j
spirited American commander has ere this, 1
without instructions or formal warrant, in- !
flioted summary punishment on the people !
and authorities at Panama.”

Mr Barnum, it is said, believes that the let- j

vritten by Jenny Lind, is a forgery.
The American Tract Boeiety and the
Slavery ‘Question.
In the year 1825, a society was formed in
the city of Now York., having for its object the
printing, publishing and circulating of tho
Holy Scriptures, and such religious works, not
sectarian m their character, ns taught, de
monstrated and inculcated tho great and com
mon truths of religion, aud the principles of
virtue, pietyaud morality. EvaugehcalUhris
thins of till denominations connected them
selves with the i institution, and contributed
freely of their means to the advancement of its
interests and its usefulness. From a small
and insignificant beginning, it speedily com
menced to expand. As the field of its labors
enlarged, its activity increased, and it has
now become a mighty agent for good—a daily
pulpit, sending forth iuto the world with eve
ry setting sun, fit),ooo publications of which
more than 3,000 are books, pure and lofty in
their teachings, and the offspring of some of
the wisest and best intellects of the present i
aud past ages. In palace and hovel, in hall
and hamlet, throughout the length and breadth
of our land, these silent but eloquent leaves
are strewn. Thousands have been led to turn
’ thereby, from the error of their ways. Mon
who never read before, men who never thought
before, men who never believed before, have
been induced to read and reflect—have been
convinced, convicted and reformed. The
“American Tract Society” is a household
word throughout Christendom', its works have
penetrated iuto foreign lauds, and the dark
places of the earth: its agents have sought
out the ignorant, the poor, the despised, and
without money and without price they have
been freely supplied with those treasures
which are above all price. For thirty years
the society's labors have been steadily pursued
iu harmony and peace, and in the year 1856,
it boasts within its pale nearly twenty differ
ent denominations ; it has in its employ six
hundred amlfifty-nine colporteurs whose daily
business it is to calculate its publications far
and wide, and to supply the destitute gratui
tously ; it speaks to men in one hundred and
twenty-two languages and dialects, and during
its comparatively brief existence has circulated
213,902,000 publications!
The immense benefits which could not fail
to be the result of such labors, in arresting
the wayward and the thoughtless, in convinc
ing the skeptical and informing the ignorant,
in forming the youthful mind and character,
in the spread of sound doctrine and pure mo
rality, and in crowding out an impure aud
flippantliterature, are incalculable, andshould
be a cause of congratulation and rejoicing not
only to the Christian, but the patriot and eve
ry true lover of his kind. These great results
are attributable to concert and harmony of
action. Up to this time, the society rigidly
adheringto its constitution, hasabstained from
the publication of all works of a sectarian, lo
cal or sectional character. The Committee of
Publication, composed of six eminent clergy
men representing as many different denomina
tions, have scrupulously avoided every cause
of strife and contention, religious or political,
and thus tho society has gone on prospering
and to prosper.
At last, however, the voice of clamor is rais
ed. For several months past the radicals of
the northern pulpit and the religious press, who
can look upon no subject save through the
medium of slavery, have maintained a system
atic attack upon the Committee of Publication,
because, in obedience to duty and their Con
stitution, they have ignored the subject of
slavery in tho society’s publications, and with
the true Christian spirit, have treated this
peculiar institution as Christ and the Apostles
treated it in their day. Prominent among
these agents of evil, have been the Rev. Ward
Beecher, (of recent “Sharpe Rifle” notoriety)
and his paper, the -V. 1". Independent. The
Committee have been denounced with a vehe
mence and bitterness—often with a scurrility
and shamelessness—which seldom disgrace
the columns of the secular press. The prin
cipal charges are, that the Committee, in re
vising works for the press, have omitted pas
sages and phrases which would not be tolera
ted in the South; and that they are lacking
in Christian duty, in that they do not make
the institution of slavery the object of special
attack through the Society’s publications.
The Society was to have held its annual
meeting in New York City, on Wednesday last:
and we learn from northern exchanges, that
the Anti-slavery party were rallying their
forces with great spirit and ardor, with a hope
to effect such changes in the Society’s Consti
tution as will enable them to carry out their
unchristian and nefarious schemes. What the
result will be we cannot predict. But every pa
triot, not to say Christian, must view the
struggle with the deepest interest. The Com
mittee of Publication perform their labors gra
tuitously. It is too much to expect of them,
that they can long submit to such abuse and
villification as has been heaped upon them for
twelve months past. We cannot but appre
hend the most melancholy results from the
contest which is perhaps now taking place.—
The ruin of the Tract Society, which would
inevitably follow any changein its past policy,
would be a national calamity. But we also
see in this movement threatenings of the in
tegrity of the Union itself. It is not to ho
supposed by any rational mind, that political
ties alone afford a sufficient guarenty for tho
Union’s perpetuity. The people of the North
and South are daily aud rapidly becoming
more and more a distinct people; and the
rending of all social and religious ties would
ere long be followed by the crash of the last
link that binds us as a Nation.
We have noticed during the past few mouths j
many cheering indications of a healthy reaction
at the North, on the subject of slavery, and I
have been led to build hopes upon them. We
say hopes, not because we apprehend any
harm to the institution itself; but because it
would boa real pleasure to us to know that
our Northern fellow citizens were at last
awakening to a Bense of right, justice and rea
son. But the attack upon this great National
institution, for such the American Tract Soci
ety is, augurs most unfavorably for the reali
zation of our hopes. Should it fall before the
I legions of fmmtioism, wo should hardly know
on what then to base a hope of returning cun
cord and National amity. Its downfall would
not only be in itself a deporablo calamity, but
the probable precursor of fresh ruptures such
as have made a Northern and a Southern
Methodist Church, to be in their turn the pre
i cursors, it may he, of national dissolution.
Tho Cabinet on Nicaragua.
The papers and their correspondents will
have it that several Cabinet meetings have
I been held to consider the ease presented by the
present aspect of affairs in Nicaragua, and
; that there is a division of opinion among the
| members. It is said that at the first meeting a
majority (including the President) were in fa
vor of receiving the new Minister from Nicara
gua, l’ndro Yijil, aud that a messenger was
sent to New York to inform him of this deter
mination ; hut it seems that he was not re
ceived at the time appointed, and the question
jis said to he still undecided. One reporter
t states that Messrs. Maroy and Cushing are
opposed to recognizing tho Rivas Government,
and that the President ami the other members :
of the Cabinet favor it.
The following was dispatched from Washing
ton on the Bth inst.:
“ Affidavits from tho Captain of the steam
ship Orizaba and others, have been filed in the
State Department, narrating the insolent in
terference of the British frigate Eurydiee, at
San Juan, during the last trip of the former
vessel—the close surveillance exercised over
her, and the forbidding of the passengers for
Nicaragua to land. Secretary Dobbin says
that these outrages shall be promptly rebuk
ed. The whole matter has been the subject
of a Cabinet consultation to-day.
“ Tho Administration lias not yet arrived at
a decision upon the question of recognizing
Walker’s government.”
Bobbery of Maj. Buford.
Wo are pained by the perusal of the follow
ing paragraph in the St. Louis Herald of April
26th:
“ Just aa the steamer Keystone was about
shoving off from our lauding on Thursday—
on which boat were Maj. Buford of Alabama
and his company, on their way to Kansas
some daring and expert thief broke open Maj.
Buford’s trunk, aud stole $5,000. It is sup
posed the thief was on the boat, and went up
with the company, so that he will probably be
discovered before they reach Kansas. Intelli
gence of the robbery was brought to this city,
by a descending boat from the Missouri river,
the robbery not having been discovered until
the Keystone was out from our wharf.”
A New Trick at San Juan.
Every new development in Central America
gives ns new causes to insist upon the view
of the duties of this government taken by us
in our issues of Saturday and Sunday last. We
have had the pleasure of conversing with sev
eral gentlemen who came by the Orizaba from
San Juan. They confirm in all respects, the
news in regard to the blockade of that port by
the British man-of-war Eurydiee, and give
us other intelligence more than ever calling
for the immediate action of our government.
It seems that about two months ago a gen-
tleman named Cole arrived from England,
with about 50 Englishmen under him, and
gave out that he was about to commence a ca
nal to extend from San Juan to a point on the
San Juan river just above Costillo. He ex
pects in a few weeks 1000 more Englishmen
to work on the canal. No obstacles were in
terposed to the landing of the party, and we
may, of course, be sure that none will be of
fered by the Eurydice when the others arrive.
The operation of the present state of affairs,
if no action is taken by the United States, is
too obvious to need comment. American citi
zens will be prevented from landing—but 1000
British subjects will land and be used in such
a way as John Bull may choose to direct.—
They will dig the canal after they have dug
the graves of our brethren.
It is useless to disguise our position. Our
government must be prompt and resolute.—
Great Britain must be made to know at once
that any interference in Central America will
be the signal of a declaration of war by us.—
We sincerely hope that there will be no trifling
at Washington; no exchange of letters, no
paltering in a double sense with tricky diplo
matists. The Monroe doctrine is at stake ; let
it be maintained at once and forever.—A T . O.
Courier.
Bailroad Casualties.
We have just seen a letter from a friend in
Tennessee, which says—“ Our Chattanooga
and Nashville Railroad friends have struck a
bad streak. They have a bridge down and
engine on it; and part of another train mired
in the Tunnel. I fear it will be some time be
fore they get fairly to work again.— Atlanta
Intelligencer.
An individual entered one of our telegraph
offices yesterday, and inquired the cost of
sending a message to Albany. Being in
formed, he further inquired if there was any
charge for the name of the person to whom a
message was sent, and the signature appended
thereto. “ No,” replied the courteous opera
tor, “ there is no charge for names or signa
tures.” The stranger proceeded to the desk,
picked up a pencil, wrote a message and hand
ed it to the operator, who found it to read thus:
James Bunce, Albany.
Sam. Murgatroyd, Buffalo.
“But,” says the operator, “there is no
message here.” “Message enough for me,”
replied the wag; “I only want Jim to know
where 1 am. No charge for names and signa
tures, I believe. Thank you, good morning”;
and he left the office and left a bevy of opera
tors splitting their sides with laughter, behind
him. It is hardly necessary to add that the
message was sent without delay.— Buffalo j
Courier.
i i— -
A gentleman in New Haven, has invented a i
process which furnishes a complete safeguard |
against counterfeiting in any of its forms.— :
The face of the bill is firstcovered with achem
ical preparation of a yellow tint, leaving the
denomination of the bill in lotters of the origi- I
nal color of the paper. The plate printing is
done with bluish black ink, which has the pe
culiarity of penetrating the paper, and of being
translucent when held between the eye and
the light. The composition of this ink is known
only to the inventor, and prevents the possi
bility of counterfeiting by means of anew
plate.
Machine for Pegging Boots ancl Shoes.
Anew machine for this purpose has been
brought forward. The boot is placed on one
part of the machine and a stick of wood on J
the other. Motion being given, one portion ,
of the mechanism operatos to prick the holes :
with at’ awl—another to make the pegs—an- \
other to feed the pegs to the mouth of the j
holes—ahother to drive the pegs home.
Those various operations arc performed with
great rapidity, about two minutes only being
required to double peg each boot.

Startling Phenomenon.
Mr. John Parker and son were attending
some fish lines on the river about three miles
above here, when they were surprised by a
continuous, unusual roaring towards the mid
die of the stream; the night was without wind.
Owing to the darkness, no effort was made to
ascertain the cause of this strange noise until
daylight, when it was seen that a whirlpool of
large extent was in active operation some two
hundred miles from the Missouri shore, which
still continues in operation, drawing in a great
body of water; so much indeed, that the vol
ume of the river below is sensibly lessened.—
Driftwood and large floating logs go in and
disappear totally. Many hundreds yesterday
went up to see this strange sight. Unless
this chasm soon fills up with water, the effect
upon navigation will be calamitous indeed,
for it would seem that the bottom of the river
has really fallen ont.-Squatter Sovereign, (Atch

The Cultivation of Dates in Cuba.
The Havana correspondence of the Charles-

One of the most industrious planters in the
neighborhood of Matanzas, has succeeded in
cultivating the date tree, and his success is
beyond all his calculations. I have eaten some
of the fruit, and consider it as good as the
best I have ever tasted. A few more such
men in our rich island, would soon revolution
ize our antique system of agriculture, &c.—
The tree grows fully as high as it does in
Africa, and bears abundantly.
